"If you put the fish on the bread, the oil in the fish makes the sandwich soggy," explains Kerry Malcolm, owner of Roy's.
Roy's, named after Malcolm's dad, is located in a spartan storefront on South Orange Avenue. Four tables, a walk-up counter, peach-colored walls: That's it. Across the street is Mr. T's Hair Parlor and the intriguingly named Multiple Services Center.
Residents of South Orange and Maplewood may recognize Malcolm — the Montclair High School and Kean University grad has operated an ice cream truck and food concessions at special events in those towns.
Roy's offers fish only, plus sides and desserts. No chicken, no ribs and the fish is fried only, although the 31-year-old Malcolm plans to add broiled and grilled fish in the coming months.
Check fish availability — they were out of porgy, scallops and crab cakes on a recent visit. And I was in a scallopy mood!
Maybe no other fish benefits from frying more than catfish; there's something about a hot crunchy tender piece of catfish right out of the fryer. Roy's does it right, with good catfish sandwiches ($7.49) and dinners ($12.99, with two sides).
The whiting sandwich, at $5.99, makes for a filling and inexpensive lunch, but the jumbo shrimp dinner (six pieces, with two sides), is a bit pricey, at $13.99.
The sides, made by Norma Harvey, Malcolm's mother-in-law, excel. The mac and cheese oozes cheesy creamy goodness. The potato salad features a sharp, sweet mustardy tinge; a colleague was put off by it, but I loved it, as I do any food standard that takes chances. You want no-surprise potato salad? Go to your supermarket.
The yams are dense and almost too syrupy, but I couldn't wait to get home and reheat them for dinner (it was one side that didn't make it back to the office: sorry, guys). First-rate collards, too. All sides are $2.75 for small portion, except for the mac and cheese and the garden salad, which are $2.95 each.
Desserts disappointed — the cheesecake ($2.75) is bland and dried out. The sweet potato pie ($2.75) is a slight upgrade.
Speaking of desserts, I found dynamite cheesecake at an East Orange storefront that makes Roy's look upscale. That's coming up this month; keep your fork handy.

PEGI ratings finally become legal in the UK
After seeing some pretty extensive delays the PEGI age ratings have finally become legal in the UK.
From today it will be illegal for retailers to sell games carrying the PEGI ratings of 12, 16 and 18 to anyone under those ages. The change is part of the shift for the games industry from the BBFC ratings to the PEGI system to make it easier for consumers to know what they're buying.
Boss of the UK trade association, UKIE, Dr Jo Twist said, "As we mark the start of PEGI as the single video game age rating system, were delighted to use the opportunity to help parents to make informed decisions about which video games to choose for their family. A key way were doing this is through the re-launch of www.askaboutgames.com. Wed urge parents to use this really helpful tool to ensure that playing video games has the biggest positive impact on their children and family as a whole."
She added, "We very much believe that the sole adoption of PEGI will provide clear and consistent direction on age ratings for parents and will be a vital tool in helping them to understand the types of games that their children should be playing."

Results tagged ' Marlins '
Nolasco likely No. 2 starter
VIERA, Fla. — All signs are pointing to Ricky Nolasco being ready to be Florida's No. 2 starter when the season opens.
Nolasco has been nursing a sore right thumb, but the right-hander still projects to be ready for the April 2 game against the Mets at Sun Life Stadium.
Josh Johnson will be pitching on Opening Night on April 1.
Nolasco threw a 55-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, and he is expected to throw off the mound again on Friday. The plan is two more bullpen sessions, a live batting practice and a simulated game before he takes the mound in a Spring Training game.
Manager Edwin Rodriguez says Nolasco likely will be throwing in a game on March 13.
"[Game Two] is very realistic if everything stays in order," Rodriguez said. "He should be fine for that."
Rodriguez says Nolasco's body language of late has shown he is ready to pitch.
"He's been bouncing around, and he was having fun, which is always good," Rodriguez said.
Other items of note from Rodriguez's morning press briefing:
* Mike Stanton continues to feel better and walk with limited discomfort. But the right quad will keep him out at least two weeks.
* Greg Dobbs was shaken up after being in a mild collision at first base on Tuesday. Dobbs bruised his knee. He was to be the designated hitter on Wednesday, but he was scratched from the lineup.
* Josh Johnson will throw 55 pitches or three innings on Wednesday.
* The Marlins renewed the contracts of Stanton, Logan Morrison, Ryan Webb and Gaby Sanchez.
— Joe Frisaro
JJ to throw three innings
VIERA, Fla. — Marlins ace Josh Johnson, who will pitch in the April 1 season opener, is expected to throw three innings or around 55 pitches on Wednesday against the Nationals at Space Coast Stadium.
Greg Dobbs was supposed to be the designated hitter, but he was scratched because of a sore knee. Dobbs was shaken up on Tuesday when he had a collision at first base. He should be fine.
The Nationals are starting lefty John Lannan.
1) Omar Infante, 2B
2) Dewayne Wise, CF
3) Hanley Ramirez, SS
4) Gaby Sanchez, 1B
5) John Buck, C
6) Wes Helms, 3B
7) Scott Cousins, RF
8) Bryan Petersen, LF
9) John Raynor, DH

Nolasco throws off mound
After talking his situation over with the Marlins medical staff, Ricky Nolasco was cleared to throw his first bullpen session of Spring Training on Tuesday morning.
The right-hander threw a pain-free 55-pitch bullpen session. He threw all of his pitches, and is next scheduled to throw off the mound on Friday.
"It's not getting any worse. I've been doing some pretty aggressive stuff with it," Nolasco said. "So we just sat down and went over my schedule. I said, 'It's not going to matter if I go [Wednesday], Thursday, Friday or Saturday.' So I just wanted to do it today and see how it felt."
If all goes well, the tentative plan is to have Nolasco pitch in a game on March 13. The right-hander says barring any setbacks, he should be fine for the opening of the regular season.
Josh Johnson will pitch on Opening Night, on April 1, against the Mets. Nolasco projects to face New York on April 2.
Nolasco has been bothered by a jammed right thumb, which prevented him from tossing off the mound until Tuesday.
Earlier in the morning, Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez was more cautious about Nolasco.
"We'll see how he feels today," Rodriguez said. "Everything is tentative with him."
Alex Sanabia and Shawn Hill are candidates to fill Nolasco's rotation spot in the Spring Training until he is cleared to pitch in Grapefruit League games.
Sanabia is scheduled to start on Thursday when the Marlins face the Astros in Kissimmee.
In other news Tuesday, the Marlins have come to contract terms with a number of their players who are under club control and not yet in their arbitration years.
Florida agreed to terms with RHP Arquimedes Caminero, RHP Jose Ceda, RHP Steve Cishek, RHP Chris Hatcher, RHP Jhan Marinez, RHP Adalberto Mendez, RHP Omar Poveda, RHP Evan Reed, RHP Sandy Rosario, RHP Alex Sanabia, RHP Brian Sanches, RHP Chris Volstad, LHP Mike Dunn, LHP Dustin Richardson, LHP Sean West, C John Baker, C Brad Davis, C Brett Hayes, INF Emilio Bonifacio, INF Ozzie Martinez, OF Chris Coghlan, OF Scott Cousins and OF Bryan Petersen.

Marlins-Cardinals Tuesday lineup
Chris Volstad takes the mound on Tuesday when the Marlins face the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. St. Louis is going with Chris Carpenter.
The Marlins are giving Hanley Ramirez and Omar Infante the day off. Matt Dominguez, who hit a two-run homer on Monday, is back in the lineup at third base.
1) Chris Coghlan, CF
2) Donnie Murphy, SS
3) Logan Morrison, LF
4) John Buck, C
5) Greg Dobbs, 1B
6) Scott Cousins, RF
7) Josh Kroeger, DH
8) Matt Dominguez, 3B
9) Emilio Bonifacio, 2B

Starting pitching stepping up
It's hard to draw too much from early exhibition game starts. But so far, so good when it comes to Florida's starting pitchers.
Anibal Sanchez was effective in his two-inning stint on Monday in a 6-3 win over the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium.
Sanchez gave up a solo homer to Lance Berkman, but the way he was throwing the ball was encouraging. His fastball was regularly at 92 mph, and he topped out at 93 mph at a time pitchers are building up arm strength.
"Anibal Sanchez threw some very good pitches," manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "I think he hung two breaking balls. But other than that, Anibal Sanchez was very good. He was hitting his spots."
Sanchez said he objective was to concentrate on first-pitch strikes.
"I got behind a couple of batters," the right-hander said. "I was just working on keeping the ball down. My changeup was working good today. My curveball was a little bit off. My fastball had good location."
Sanchez's solid start followed up a strong two-inning performance on Sunday by Javier Vazquez, who retired all six batters he faced against the University of Miami.
Because Vazquez's velocity dipped in 2010 when he was with the Yankees, his arm strength is being closely monitored in Spring Training.
Vazquez was clocked at 88 mph on Sunday, and that's where he was regularly throwing a year ago in New York.
The team has no cause for alarm because Vazquez is still building up his arm strength, which takes several weeks in Spring Training.
More than velocity, the team was impressed with the movement on his pitches, and the veteran's ability to change speeds. In his 14th big league season, Vazquez likely will rely on pitching savvy in 2011.
Vazquez needed 21 pitches, with 15 strikes to retired the side in order twice on Sunday. To get some extra work, he threw another 15 pitches in the bullpen.
— Joe Frisaro
No defense against the walks
For all the talk about improving defensively, the Marlins encountered something they couldn't defend on Sunday.
The bullpen combined to walk 11 in a 9-8 loss against the University of Miami at Roger Dean Stadium.
"We're going to be better defending on the field," manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "But we can't defend the walks."
Prospects Chad James, Brad Hand, Jhan Marinez and Dan Jennings accounted for all 11 walks.
Other items of note on Sunday.
* Rodriguez said the dugout went silent for about five seconds when Mike Stanton pulled up while running to first base in the second inning. Stanton stumbled to the ground at first base, and he exited with a strained right quad.
"It's still early, but we want to make sure he's 100 percent when he is on the field," Rodriguez said.
* With Stanton out, Dewayne Wise will receive more work in right field. Scott Cousins and Bryan Petersen also will be in the mix. Rodriguez singled Wise out, saying he likes what he is seeing from the non-roster invitee.
* Gaby Sanchez is expected to bat cleanup with Stanton out.
* Hanley Ramirez should be in the lineup on Monday in the Grapefruit League opener against the Cardinals. But center fielder Chris Coghlan will not be playing, even though he felt fine after playing a couple of innings on Sunday.
* Ricky Nolasco likely will throw off the mound for the first time on Wednesday. Nolasco has been nursing a sore right thumb.
* Catcher John Baker's became a father on Feb. 24 when his wife, Meghan, gave birth to a baby girl.

Stanton strains right quad
JUPITER, Fla. — Marlins slugger Mike Stanton exited Sunday's exhibition in the second inning with a right quad strain, according to the team.
The injury occurred in Stanton's second at-bat against the University of Miami at Roger Dean Stadium.
"It's never a good thing, but I'd rather it be now than later," Stanton said. "I have some time for it to heal up."
The seriousness of the injury is not yet known, but it is safe to say Stanton will miss at least the first few Grapefruit League games.
"I think the next couple of days will be a better feel on a time frame," Stanton said. "We really won't know for at least 24 or 48 hours."
After chopping a ground ball to Miami Hurricanes pitcher Michael Rudman, Stanton sprinted down the line, but pulled up. He stumbled at the bag, and fell to the ground.
Immediately, assistant trainer Mike Kozak tended to the 21-year-old, who walked off the field. Scott Cousins replaced Stanton in right field.
Stanton started off the game with some excitement. In the first inning, on the first pitch he saw, he belted a two-run homer to left field.
Before the bottom of the third, Stanton went into a golf cart, and he was driven back to the Marlins clubhouse.
— Joe Frisaro
JJ-Koehler pitching in simulated game
Some highlights from manager Edwin Rodriguez's morning press session:
* Josh Johnson and prospect Tom Koehler are throwing a two-inning simulated game at 10:20 a.m. on a back field at Roger Dean Stadium.
* Matt Dominguez likely will get three at-bats in the exhibition against the University of Miami, while most of the regulars will each get two. The plan is to play Dominguez as much as possible in Spring Training games. Look for him to go full games well before the rest of the regulars.
* Rodriguez says the team is pulling for Dominguez to win the third base job, because "I really believe if he makes the club that we will be a better team. Then we can keep [Omar] Infante at second base." The preference is for Infante to play second, not third.
* Ricky Nolasco continues to throw on flat ground. The team is hopeful he can throw off the mound sometime next week. Nolasco is nursing a sore right thumb.
* After Johnson pitches his sim game on Sunday, the Marlins' Opening Day starter will throw his first Grapefruit League game on Wednesday at Viera against the Nationals. Javier Vazquez, who is pitching against UM on Sunday, is slotted to throw again on Friday against the Mets.
* Donnie Murphy will be backing up Hanley Ramirez at shortstop. The hope is to play Emilio Bonifacio mostly in the outfield and second base in Spring Training games.
* The upcoming rotation: Vazquez (Sunday), Anibal Sanchez (Monday), Chris Volstad (Tuesday), JJ (Wednesday), Alex Sanabia (Thursday), Vazquez (Friday).

1) Chris Coghlan, CF
2) Omar Infante, 2B
3) Hanley Ramirez, SS

Stanton clears building in BP
Every day Mike Stanton takes batting practice is a new adventure. Friday was no different, as the Marlins young slugger reached new heights.
A few days ago, Stanton dazzled on the back fields at Roger Dean Stadium, hitting the roof of a condo located across the street from left field.
On Friday, the team took batting practice inside Roger Dean Stadium. Beyond the left field wall is the Marlins' building, which is complete with offices on the second floor, and the club house on the first floor.
Stanton achieved something that no one in attendance had seen before — he completely cleared the building. Making the shot more impressive is he took a BP pitch over the roof in left-center, just to the left of a sign on the wall advertising Duffy's Sports Grill.
In a round before his blast over the building, Stanton hit back-to-back drives that hit the black screen beyond the center field wall. His bid for three straight to dead center came up short when his third shot actually struck the center field wall at the 400-foot marker.

The latest education news from Beaverton and beyond.
You may have noticed the snow: The Beaverton Leader crew has been out and about capturing school stories and photos after the snow hit. Along with the news are photos that may include someone you know.
School bus in ditch: A Beaverton school bus slid into a small ditch and ended up sideways across a street near Aloha as it transported students home from Mountain View Middle School Thursday. The students were uninjured but nine were still on the bus at 4:45 p.m. waiting for a tow truck or a second bus to arrive. Both vehicles were delayed by traffic gridlock in the area, said Maureen Wheeler, Beaverton School District spokeswoman.
Fourteen students were initially on the bus, but law enforcement officers took home a few kids who lived nearby and parents picked up the others. The district transportation department was trying to reach the parents of the remaining students. Bus drivers across the district had a rough go of it Thursday.
Graduation rates fall: Statewide, four-year graduation rates rose slightly for the class of 2013, but Beaverton School District saw its overall numbers slip from 77.5 to 77.2 percent.
In other education news:
Beaverton Valley Times: Westview's Chris Younkins may not be an experienced teacher, but he clearly knows a thing or two about how to kick off an after-school science lesson for young elementary school students.
Portland teachers: After ten months of unsuccessful negotiations with Portland Public Schools, teachers who crammed into the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall for Wednesday night's historic strike vote were eager to declare their intentions.

Congressman Paul fights on
May 14, 2012 - Mike Donahey
Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) in an email to supporters, said he would no longer actively campaign in states that have not yet held Republican presidential primaries, according to the New York Times.
To do so, he said "would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have." Paul did not throw the towel all the way in. The Times reported that he would continue pursuing a "delegate strategy" that would provide his followers influence at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. this summer. The strategy makes sense. Paul's followers have caused a ruckus at some state Republican party conventions, capturing delegate spots and booting out supporters of Mitt Romney in key leadership posts, Times blogger Michael Shear wrote.
Paul was in Marshalltown last December. I covered the event and was impressed with the number of supporters who turned out to see the grandfatherly spokesperson and founder of the Tea Party. Those I interviewed backed him with a passion and they admired him for sticking to his guns and not being on both sides of an issue.
His message is simple — strictly follow the Constitution, reign in federal spending and don't embark in foreign wars unless our security is directly threatened. His speaking style is mild-mannered, almost conversational. He remained behind the lectern during his remarks and I don't think two-thirds of the audience would have heard him had he not used a microphone. But Paul supporters want substance and not style.
And Republicans can count on his voice being heard in Tampa, with or without a microphone.

BARRY TOWNSHIP, MI -- Tuesday's meeting to discuss Victor Pierce's role as police chief in Barry Township has been canceled.
Barry Township Clerk Debra Knight said the township didn't meet the 18-hour notice requirement. Knight said she attempted to post the information for the meeting to the township website Monday night but it didn't post until Tuesday morning.
Knight said the board will convene Tuesday night to reschedule the meeting.
Pierce has been under fire with allegations of excessive force and police harassment against his department. Some residents have also argued that the 34-member reserve unit is too large for the township of about 3,300 residents.
The township board met Monday night to discuss the reserve unit and the chief. Both supporters and critics spoke for about an hour of public comment.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about how prospective some of TRX's properties are!
Tue Apr 18, 2006
High Copper and Silver Values Compliment Previous Trenching Results from Tanzanian Royalty's Kibara Project
Further assay results have been received from an extensive trenching program carried out during February and March on the Company's Kibara Gold Project in northern Tanzania.
The latest results enhance and compliment the gold grades reported in the Company's News Release of March 27, 2006 with the addition of high copper and silver values.
"What we find intriguing about these trenching results is the strong gold-copper-silver association and their proximity to a potentially large porphyry intrusive that may have played a role in the dissemination of high gold, copper and silver values in the area," said the Company's president, John Deane.
As reported in the earlier news release, approximately 160 metres of trenching, comprising 16 trenches, was completed during February on the eastern side of the Nyakona Hill discovery near where several grab samples in 2005 returned values up to 6.0 g/t gold and 13% copper.
Samples were taken from 16 trenches at Nyakona Hill, each of which contained quartz veining and/or gossanous (weathered) rock with malachite (copper carbonate hydroxide) staining. The veins range from a few centimetres to 30 centimetres in thickness and form a zone that is approximately 10 metres wide. They are hosted within a southwest trending volcanic sequence of rocks (tuff) that have a shallow dip to the southeast. Trenching to date has exposed the vein system over a distance of 180 metres and has identified a quartz feldspar porphyry intrusive in close proximity to the system.
"The grade of the latest assays are consistent with past results in terms of their overall significance, however, the silver values are a very pleasant surprise and are obviously important from an economic standpoint in this period of rising silver prices," noted the Company's Chairman and CEO, Jim Sinclair.
"Also, it's important to keep in mind that in many of the world's largest mineral belts, copper and silver are by-products of gold mining and visa versa. So we are definitely looking in an exciting environment from both a geological and an economic perspective," he added.
The Kibara Project consists of four prospecting licenses totaling some 377.6 square kilometers and is located within the southwest extension of the Musoma-Mara greenstone belt of northwestern Tanzania. Producing gold mines within this belt include the North Mara (Barrick) and Buhemba (Meremeta Ltd).
"We have good reasons to focus our exploration efforts on these belts because their brief discovery history is unfolding similar to that of major greenstone belts in Canada and Australia where numerous precious and base metal deposits were found along established trends for well over a century," said Deane.
The Kibara project area hosts a variety of rock types including metavolcanics, BIF (Banded Iron Formation), metasediments and granite. Gold mineralization can be found associated with Kavirondian-age metasediments in addition to narrow quartz veins and stringers within a volcanic host.
"There appears to be a structural relationship to the mineralization at Nyakona Hill and the strong gold-copper-silver association is especially intriguing because it's geologically analogous to Barrick's Bulyanhulu mine and the Chocolate Reef deposit in Tanzania," Deane observed. In addition to the gold values reported previously, highly significant copper and silver assay results were recently received from the trenching program. Seventeen samples returned values greater than 1% Cu; nine samples returned values greater than 5% Cu; and four values were above 10% Cu (10.2; 13.5; 15.0; 27.4). Silver values ranged from detection levels to 87 g/t (2.5 oz/ton).
Very interesting property.
Yo Yo, lots of assets in Tanzania for $250 million.....this one looks interesting.
When to many scream "sell" is when the smart are buying.
Company seems to have forgotten about it too! From the TRX webiste 43-101 compliant technical report in 2009. So important a project that it is lumped into the Other category in the notes to the financial statements. So important thar since Aug. 2008 there have been no trenching and drilling expenses in that category, a whooping $25K of geophysical and geochemical, and for all the projects in that category an allocation of about $200K per year in exploration and field overhead.
But don't you consider that the depth of projects is to large to explore all at once? TREC's holdings are so broad and diverse for a junior that they have prospective properties in their holdings that have barely been explored? It's all fuel for the future.
You opened a yahoo account just to tell us that?
"What we find intriguing about these trenching results is the strong gold-copper-silver association and their proximity to a potentially large porphyry intrusive that may have played a role in the dissemination of high gold, copper and silver values in the area"
Copper! gold!
thanks for the post warrior.
Oh, right, we're just drilling holes again. crusher is idled and rusting away somewhere. Awesome use of capital equipment, Magoo!!!!

Pulling The Trigger 1 commentAug 26, 2011 4:47 PM
...the BUY or SELL signal has been issued. All you need to do is call your fund company or broker, or log into your online trading account and click on the "Trade" button.
But right at that moment, all the doubt and second-guessing comes to a head, and the buy or sell signal is never executed.
Sound familiar? It's probably the most common heartache faced by market timers and all market traders, and is only compounded when it turns out that it would have been a profitable trade.
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
Do any of these sentences sound familiar? Have you said these same words?
1. The timing signal says one thing, but this other indicator I have says another.
2. There is absolutely no reason the market should move in that direction. Everyone knows it... look at the current market sentiment!
3. What if the signal is wrong? What are the consequences?
Suddenly you become very good at second guessing. You can easily find a few dozen reasons not to execute the signal after all. You even feel good about "not" taking the trade... at least for awhile.
Perfection Does Not Exist
Uncertainty is a powerful emotion that can weaken the resolve of even the best of market timers. Some things you need to remember are:
1. At no point in time will all indicators be in agreement. That's just the nature of technical analysis. You are following a timing strategy that makes money over time. It is not always right, but it is profitable and it outperforms the market. That is what you need to focus on. Perfection does not exist in market timing or trading.
2. The obvious or logical buy or sell signal is not always the profitable trade. Sometimes the market is easy to read, such as during a long trending bull market, but sometimes its true nature is completely hidden.
3. All actions in the market happen for a reason. We may not always understand the cause, but we really do not need to! All we need to do is execute the trades and the profits will follow.
4. There is NO tested and proven timing system that is perfectly accurate. As for the consequences of being wrong, that's why you are using the strategy in the first place. FibTimer timing strategies are designed to NEVER allow losses to accumulate.
Then Again, What If The Signal Is Right?
The next time you feel uncertainty sapping at your will power, read the below sentences. Print them out and tape them to your computer monitor if it will help....
1. The timing signal says one thing, but this other indicator I have says another... However, the market timing strategy has a proven success rate over time, and not all indicators will be accurate at all times. So, I will execute this buy or sell signal based on the historical success rate of the timing strategy.
2. There is absolutely no reason the market should move in that direction... However, there was no real reason that the stock market should have made 50% gains in 2009, and yet it happened. I have to trade what the market is doing rather than what I think it should be doing, even if the reason is not clear.
3. What if the signal is wrong? What are the consequences?... Then again, what if the signal is right? What are the results if this trade is successful. Remember that no one knows ahead of time when the next trend will begin. If they did, the trend would already have started.
Pulling the trigger may be the toughest thing to do, but it's also crucial to successful market timing. It's better to take action, than it is to sit back and let the market pass you by. The trade you do not take, will likely be the trade that makes most of the profits for the entire year.Back To TimerFrank's Instablog HomePage »

To The editor:
With Election Day fast approaching, I implore my fellow residents and neighbors to please -- get the facts on the Oakwood Park Referendum. Understand the concept, and do not listen to the fear mongers and doubters, or the ones who can predict that politicians "have it out" for New Providence. Once you look at the situation objectively, you too will want to vote yes.
No one argues that our fields are in really poor shape, and I have yet to find a single person in town who wants to take on any more debt or raise our taxes. Oakwood Park is in disrepair, with a 15 foot slope and unusable space. Despite some folks who are fine with 50% of Oakwood Park being unusable 350+ days per year, the choices seem clear: Reclaim $3.5M in tax dollars that have already been contributed to Union County to have a new park built (while retaining scheduling control and jurisdiction), or raise our taxes, issue bonds (to be paid off by every homeowner in town for the next ten years), and, one idea floated, use all of the town's cash reserves. Essentially, it would be paying twice for the same result. The choice is quite simple to vote yes
I live very close to Oakwood Park and have looked at the facts in detail. Fear, doubt and conspiracy theories are not the basis to make a decision. Looking at the facts are. The real proof to me, was seeing a beautiful, new, county-built park Snyder Avenue Park in Berkeley Heights open this week to hundreds of happy children, neighbors, town officials. All parties spoke of the "flawless relationship" that has existed for many years between the town and Union County. That's the final proof I need.
A yes vote addresses all of Oakwood Park's problems with no new tax or debt impact on homeowners.
Vote yes on the Oakwood Referendum. To do nothing (the only alternative) is not an option.
William Smith
New Providence

Jennifer Aniston's Most Uncomfortable Interview [VIDEO]
That's about all you can say about this interview that Jennifer Aniston was a part of recently.
The new hit move 'We're The Millers' is doing well here and in the UK. Jennifer was in London to promote the flick and was being interviewed by a guy who seemed to be making things uncomfortable on purpose.
The look on Aniston's face is priceless. She appears to recognize that he is up to something and handles it rather well.

Game 3 Afterthoughts
Saturday, October 15, 8:28 am
Photo by Andrew T. Malana / MLB.com
Huge Game
What a game!
It was incredibly important to win Game 3 like we did last night, especially knowing we have Games 6-7 at U.S. Cellular Field in front of our fans. After last night's victory, everyone was reminding one another that there was still a long way to go and a lot of baseball to be played. Focus on one day at a time, one game at a time. Our pitching has been fantastic, but the Angels remain dangerous. As Ozzie says, "Let's not wake the monster."
Instead, let's keep this momentum going into Freddy Garcia's start tonight.
Ozzie also had a great comment before the game yesterday … "Our goal is to not wake the monkey."
Speaking of …
In addition to giving us the 3-0 first inning lead last night, Paul Konerko's home run took the Anaheim crowd and its thundersticks right out of the game. Their only loud moment came on Cabrera's home run in sixth inning. Did anyone else notice his pose after the swing? I think Jon Garland did.
Sea of Red
As I am sure you all saw (in person or on television), Angels fans do love to sport the team's colors. I mentioned to Brooks Boyer, our VP of Marketing, that we should have a "Wear Black and White Night" next season.
After each victory, baseball tradition has the guys already in the clubhouse meet the team at the door exchanging high fives and fist knocks. Same thing happened last night. As the members of the bullpen trickled in, several Sox good naturedly congratulated the bullpen on a great job.
On our starting pitching …
"I think each one of our starters has pitched like an ace at some point in the season. I don't think too many teams can say that."
Came up big with a bunt, two hits and a teriffic double play in the first inning.
How Hospitable
The Orange County Register has been running, on the top of its front page, a photo and brite titled, "87 Seasons of White Sox Futility." Yesterday the newspaper had a note about the Black Sox scandal, "draping a cloud of shame on the national pastime." Today, it ran a photo from when Eric Dybas assaulted umpire Laz Diaz in 2003 with the text, "Crazed fans are part of Sox lore. In 2003, an umpire was attacked on the field for no reason; in 2002, a drunk man and his son went after a rival coach."
So nice of them to describe the team and its fans in this way. But I am not sure what they are trying to accomplish. Do they want to anger us? Instill fear of Chicagoans in their fans? Or just make the Angels look bad when (and if) they lose to a franchise as futile as ours (sarcasm is intended).
On The Bus
after the game, a commentator asked, "what do you think Chicago is like tonight?" Our guess was rocking. Enjoy and let's get them again in Game 4.

Wow!!! That was a excellent game last night. I couldn't have enjoyed it anymore unless I was there. Jon threw a gem last night. The bats were alive too. I was still fired up when I woke up this morning. Tonight's game cannot come soon enough. I'm interested to see what Freddy will bring to the table tonight. I'm sure he wants to show what he is made of too. Our pitching staff is spectacular. At the sports bar last night an Angel fan came up to me on his way out the door claiming that the Sox didn't have good starters. Didn't the White Sox starters just throw about 27 innings of lights-out baseball??? Only gave up 6 runs in the process too. Absolutely amazing!!! I wonder how many halo fans will be on this blog today. Weren't they all saying Angels in 5??? Keep dreamin' Angels fans.
And yes Scott, I did notice Cabrera's pose after his homer. That's a pretty interesting thing to do considering they were still down 3 runs.
That was a great win, since I have game 6 and 7 tickets. I would be very happy if I didn't get to use them.
What,no controversy??? What a marvelously boring game it was last night… As the last out was recorded,a certain five letter word creeped into my brain…And it is contingent on tonight's contest…If Garcia does what he's capable of, and the bats and gloves continue what they're capable of,dare we say it? Dare we think it? I'll give you a hint… it starts with s, ends with p and rhymes with "cheap"(which is what management will be considered if they don't re-sign Konerko),"sleep"(the mode that the Sox want to keep the Halos in)and "deep"(which is the amount of doo-doo that LA will be in)…
By the way,how about those fans last night? Class,with a capital "K",wasnt't it?
This did not happen,but the joke is too good to pass up… I was on a CTA bus coming down here today,and a woman said rather loudly,"I can't stand the jerks on this route…" A stop later, three Angels fans got off…
Personal to the sports desk at the Orange County Register…I wish I knew the exact way that a raspberry would look in type, because that is exactly what I would send your way for your front page diatribes concerning the Chicago White Sox….However, your treatment is,in the famous words of the late Howard Cosell,"…like throwing spitballs at a battleship…"
For all the grammarians out there, I apologize…the word that should have been used in my first post,second line,should have been "crept" instead of "creeped"… I have subsequently lashed myself 10 times with a soggy Tribune as punishment….
Have to go,now…to mentally prepare for tonight…take in the St L-Hous matchup and maybe watch a bit of the only matchup that I am silently rooting for a sports team from Southern California to win today…it's called "football"
You folks know what football is,don't you? It's what the Bears think they're playing…
More later….
In conclusion, I'm going back to write down the lineup on my scoresheet for the boys…It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it will be,does it?
See ya….
Scott, thanks so much for the inside news. As a Chicago-native, White Sox fan in Florida, surrounded by NYers and always getting NY on Fox, I wish I'd discovered this blog sooner. After the lack of timely hitting in games one and two, I am so glad we are out of this mini-slump. It was so important to get those 4th and 5th runs off of Lackey. They really looked like the Sox that started the year.
Someone should tell the Fox broadcasters how the Sox took the lead first in nearly every game the first two months of the season. Those guys are clueless. Fox covers baseball one game a week for some of the season, while ESPN does a great job several times a week the entire season. I wish we had ESPN's crews doing the games now. The first series was much more enjoyable with Boomer and company, and Miller/Morgan are also top-notch. Do others out there agree?
How dare those dirty Sox cheat again! I mean, if Paulie doesn't push that ball over the left field wall, Jermaine doesn't get that hit, Iguchi doesn't relay that throw and Garland doesn't pitch so **** good, the Angels obviously would of won.
I hate Chris Berman. Sutcliffe was good though. Your right about Fox being clueless macsrule.
I think for the rest of the home games in the playoffs fans should wear either all black or all white.
Chicago sure was rockin, love bein' in the city during all of this! Thanks for the continued inside look Scott, and thank you Garland for an incredible effort despite all the doubt. And to Pauly, Guch and everyone else- you guys rock. Simply put!
Keep it rollin!
I was at the game last night. And surprisingly amongst a small but relatively loud group of SOX Fans along the right field line. (Right about where our man Douggie was umpiring.) Whom by the way I feel terrible for…you should have heard some of the things these 'crazed' Angels fans said. In any case, the stadium went silent after Paulie's huge homerun. After Iguchi's beautiful twin-killing. After Garlands endless K's…The List goes on. It felt really great to sit in the sea of red with an aura of SOX PRIDE around me. Hopefully this huge win will be the catalyst to more White Sox Winners. GO SOX
Pterygoi…you're right. I'm sure they'll find some way to say we cheated and didn't just beat them. -Dawn
Back again, your favorite Cubs fan.(repost)
First let me get this out, manusa, pterygoi, palehoses, and dbrusa…once again the true passionate fans. You must be elated, the pitching the Sox have brought to this series is phenomenal. Actually until Lackey, both staffs have been off the cuff. This has been fun to watch. Again you guys/gals deserve it.
Next-It never hit the dirt-Shoe on other foot…you guys would be screaming…rightfully so.
Angels- ALWAYS TAG THE RUNNER. One play didn't hurt you. Throwing errors, mental errors, and clutch hitting by Crede hurt you.
By the way….Bartman did not cost us a playoff series. See above Angels for cause (except substitute Marlins for Crede). One play does not cost a game. You have nine innings to separate yourself from your opponent.
Navy(yesterday)..you're right! Very Inspiring! I will root for my city and all those who played hard. No matter how hard it is. I can get over the Sox/Cub thing. I can get past North/South. Getting past Reindorf, the guy who let that Spongebob of a man tear our Bull dynasty down…that's real hard. But for Chicago and the passionate, I can relate. Play good ball…you will win. Every team playing deserves to be there. Enjoy this…IT's great baseball!
Kolsens(yesterday)…you're the reason I complained about you Sox fans to begin with. Sox fans feel Cub Fans don't know ball. Here's something for you. "Ozzie rarely bunts."? Even I know the Sox have more sacrifice hits this season than the Angels-39, Yankees-28, Red Sox-14, White Sox-57! I believe the Sox are within the top 2-3 in the AL. Don't be fooled…Ozzie is a main reason you're here! Again, even I think he's done a good job. By the way…bunting doesn't play a role with performance of hitting with runners in scoring position, unless it's a squeeze. Bunts put runners in scoring position.
Well….I'll actually be at the game tonight…as a baseball fan, wanted to see at least one more live this season. I am a Chicago transplant. Look for me…I'll be the one in the Santo Jersey…Rooting for Chicago!
I was at the game last night as well, and I was in the group of South Siders near Eddings. The energy we had there was amazing. So much so that I was able to catch Paul Konerko's foul ball.
Through the Angels cheers and thundersticks, Sox Pride was there, matching their cheers head to head, jumping up excitedly as a Sox made a nice play, got on base, or Garland's monster of an outing!
I will be heading down again for Game 4 in a few hours. Lets get another win! Go Sox!
Uh, shouldn't the White Sox be wearing WHITE SOCKS instead of black ones? Especially since the scandal team was nicknamed the Black Sox?
The team was lookin healthy last night. Freddy needs to keep that momentum going. Congratulations on the baby Freddy. Pound the Planet of the Apes!
Here we go… I say Freddy goes 6+ tonite. He just has to throw strikes to win. Too many walks results in 2- or 3-run homers that we cannot afford.
Here we go again. Brace yourself for round #2 of "Poor, Unfortunate Angels", an epic tale of deceit and betrayal.
The White Sox are unstoppable this year. They have only one playoff loss. They are going to win the World Series and after this game i believe that they will. This was the best and longest game in the World Series. They say that last year with the Red Sox was the best year but i believe this was the best year. Go White Sox!!!!!

J. Cleezy - How surprised , if at all, are you at how good your team has been performing so far this year?
P. Coleman - I told people in preseason we would surprise a lot of people if our quarterback came around, and you see the results. I'd be lying to you though if I said I'm not surprised by how successful we've been. We still got work to do on Friday though.
J. Cleezy - What do you attribute you and your team's early season success to?
P. Coleman - I credit our early success to all the work we put in all summer. Coach McNamee has also instilled a sense of pride in us, and has us believing we can play 48 minutes of football with anybody.
J. Cleezy - What will be the keys to your team winning this Friday night against McDevitt?
P. Coleman - We have to stop the big plays. If we can make them go the long way, we got a good chance to win.
J. Cleezy : Coming into the season you were an "unknown". Now people pretty much know that you are a good running back, how do you feel things have gone for you so far and what to you attribute your early season success to?
C. Charles: I feel like things are going really well for me. Like you said people didnt know me and like not to be cocky or arrogant or anything like that but feel as teams think of as a big time threat. Most deffintley credit goes to my BIG BOYS up front they really do a good job at doing what they need to do. And i tell them all the time how i wouldn't trade them for any other line.
J. Cleezy: What do you attribute your team's early season success to?
C. Charles: The team success is partly because of how we work. Like i dont think there is a more cohesive team than us. We treat every practice as a game. Also because how earlier we got RESPECT and we had to come out showing people that we are the real deal this year.
J. Cleezy: What will be the keys to your team winning this Friday night against McDevitt?
C. Charles: D-Block= SECONDARY, nothing gets behind them if it happen it could be dangerous. We want to make them work hard and go the long ways. But i have faith in my boys so i know its all good.
Offense= BIG BOYS, they will need to stay low in the trenches and do what they have been doing and me and the rest of the skills will take care of the rest
J. Cleezy: You come into this year as one of, if not, the top corneback in the mid-penn and one of the best in the area. How do you feel you've performed so far?
C. Ford: I feel as though I'm doin good, I started out the first three weeks with not one ball caught on me.
J. Cleezy: What do you attribute your early season success to?
C. Ford: I attribute it to me being a leader on defense , in the huddle, and by my play.
J. Cleezy: What will be the keys to your team winning this Friday night against Central Dauphin?
C. Ford: Heart, Physicality, Emotion!! [#2]

Fathers' feelings during pregnancy.
Posted on 19. Sep, 2010 by Robert Needlman MD in Inspire & Comfort, Parenting, Pregnancy and Birth
Robert Needlman MD guides us about how fathers feel during pregnancy
A man may react to his wife's pregnancy with various feelings: protectiveness of the wife, increased joy in the marriage, pride in his virility (that's one thing men always worry about to some degree). A certain amount of worry, "Will I be able to be a good father to this baby?" is very common, especially for men who remember their own childhoods as having been difficult.
There can also be, way underneath, a feeling of being left out, which may be expressed as crankiness toward his wife, wanting to spend more evenings with his men friends, or flirtatiousness with other women. These reactions are normal, but they are no help to his partner, who needs extra support at this stage of her life. It's very important for fathers to talk about all of their feelings. When they do, they often find that the negative emotions (fear, jealousy) shift aside, allowing the positive ones (excitement, connection) to come forward.
Sadly, pregnancy leads some men to become emotionally or physically abusive. If you feel threatened or afraid, or if you have ever been hurt or forced to have sex, you owe it to yourself and your baby to get help. Talk to your doctor, or call 1-800-799-SAFE, the national domestic violence hotline.

By Julia DeGraw and Rhett Lawrence
Gov. John Kitzhaber's remarks in his recent speech at the Oregon League of Conservation Voters' annual dinner contained welcome words in opposition to coal exports in the Pacific Northwest. However, the speech also revealed a troubling double standard: After denouncing coal exports, he suggested that natural gas would play a big role in his clean fuels program and in Oregon's clean energy future.
The governor stated that "clean fuels, clean energy and clean technology are no niche play for me; they are key components of my jobs and innovation agenda, and will be a centerpiece of my economic development strategy for my last term as governor." But if the governor's clean energy policies include facilitating gas exports through Oregon that will increase fracking nationwide, he will leave a diminished legacy.
With a boom in production from the dangerous practice of hydraulic fracturing (better known as fracking), natural gas production has become anything but clean. Fracking is contaminating drinking water in communities throughout the country, and the methane venting, flaring and leakage that occurs in the process may make it worse than coal in contributing to greenhouse gas pollution.
For years, a diverse coalition of dozens of community groups, property rights advocates and conservation organizations has been asking the governor to prevent the development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities and the pipelines associated with those projects. We have urged state agencies to demand full public safety reviews and to deny permits for these projects. So it would be disheartening and counterproductive for the governor to allow gas exports as a part of his clean energy strategy.
With no leadership at the federal level – the Department of Energy and our own U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden have shown support for the proposed Jordan Cove LNG export terminal in Coos Bay – it's more important than ever that the governor take the lead in protecting our state and our country from the folly of increasing fracked natural gas production in order to export it overseas. Sending our natural gas to countries that will pay five times what we pay in the U.S. will raise costs for U.S. households, businesses, farmers and manufacturers. And let us not forget the very real impacts to drinking water, salmon habitat and our climate.
The Jordan Cove export terminal would require the largest port dredging project in Oregon's history in habitat important for marine species and the fishermen that depend on them. A 230-mile-long pipeline would be built to deliver gas to the terminal, crossing nearly 400 streams in the Klamath, Rogue, Umpqua, Coquille and Coos watersheds. The proposed Oregon LNG terminal near Warrenton would involve a risky, 85-mile-long pipeline underneath the Columbia River and numerous coastal streams and rivers.
As The Oregonian has reported, pipeline accidents and equipment failures are frequent, and state and federal regulatory oversight is severely lacking. Additionally, both export terminal proposals for Oregon would be sited on geologically unstable sand spits. If or when a massive earthquake or tsunami were to occur, the communities of Coos Bay and Warrenton would be at great risk.
Ultimately, exporting natural gas does nothing to build a sustainable future for Oregon. It will line the pockets of foreign energy companies and create a few short-term jobs in Oregon, all while increasing air and water pollution, hastening global warming, and failing to actually move us toward a safe, clean, renewable energy future.
On behalf of tens of thousands of Oregonians and a broad coalition of groups dedicated to protecting Oregon's waters, lands, wildlife and people, we call on Gov. Kitzhaber to seek real energy solutions for Oregon and resist the false promises of foreign energy speculators.

All women are at risk for cervical cancer. The good news about cervical cancer is that it can be detected at an early stage through screening with a simple pelvic exam and pap test. Also available is a vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections.
Cervical cancer occurs most often in women over 30. Each year about 12,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer. HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer and is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex. At least one half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives but few of these women will get cervical cancer.
"The true tragedy of this disease is that most cases can be prevented, so it is important to take advantage of early-detection screenings and to follow the guidelines for preventing cervical cancer," said Somerset County Freeholder Mark Caliguire, liaison to the county Department of Public Health & Safety. "Start now to become an educated healthcare consumer and advocate for your own health and for the other women in your life. It is critical for women to establish a 'medical home base' and a relationship with a physician to achieve optimal health."
This disease disproportionately impacts underserved women. Both African-American and Hispanic women have higher rates of cervical cancer than Caucasian women. Most women diagnosed with cervical cancer have not had recent pap tests either due to a lack of awareness about cervical cancer or lack of access to health care.
If uninsured, underinsured or have other barriers to medical care, there are resources for women to take charge of their health. The New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (NJCEED) Program, part of the New Jersey Department of Health, provides comprehensive outreach, education and screening services for breast, cervical, colorectal and prostate cancers. There are 22 lead agencies that provide these services in New Jersey.
In Somerset County, to find out if eligible for low-cost or reduced-cost medical care, including exams, screenings, tests and the HPV vaccine, visit womenandhealth.org or call Women's Health & Counseling Center at 908-526-2335, ext. 112. This professional medical center provides comprehensive health services and services are based on a sliding-fee scale. Patients pay based on annual income; Medicare and some Medicaid plans are accepted. All are welcome regardless of ability to pay for services rendered.
In Morris County, these services are provided at Morristown Medical Center located in Morristown. Visit atlantichealth.org or call 973-971-5952.
An information display is at both the Somerset County Administration Building, 20 Grove St., Somerville, and at the county Human Services Building, 27 Warren St., Somerville, through Jan. 30. The public is invited to help themselves to literature about cervical cancer and HPV.
The RCDC is made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services' Office of Cancer Control and Prevention.
For more information about the RCDC, to become a member or learn more about available cancer resources, screening locations, dates, times and eligibility, contact RCDC Coordinator Lucille Y-Talbot at 908-203-6077 or email@example.com.

What Could Have Been
Continued (page 2 of 3)
Of the hijab, I can say it was hot. And it was hard to put on. I was always wrapping it wrong, and the women were always laughing at me. It was not so difficult and yet there I was, gasping for air as the billowy folds of the thing caught in my armpit, my hair, and so on. But there were always women fussing over me by then. Sisters, aunts, telling me to slow down, they would do it for me. Stop moving, turn this way, lift your arm. This was in Arabic, which I had begun to understand, and it was also in eye language and body language and all the other ways human beings communicate when we do not speak the same verbal language.
We all, and I mean my guy, his mother and stepbrother, brother, and aunts and uncles, began to talk about getting married. Us. My beloved and me. Getting married. In the traditional sense. Which, I came to understand, had to do with being painted in henna, and daylong festivities of singing and ritualized sword fighting, and me being hidden away and then presented to the celebratory cries of the women in the family who claimed me as their own, as the woman whom they approved to marry the best and brightest of their brood. And he was that, really. He was, and still is, I am sure, brilliant in every way. Modern. Smart. Full of both humility and pride of place, of background, of personal circumstance.
I came to understand that I was to go through these rituals and then it was expected that we would have a traditional American wedding, too. Though I had no idea what that was, I nodded when we all sat around the small house where my beloved was born, a house that had no running water and just a small outdoor area for cooking. I thought of the way my parents married, before a justice of the peace. I would carry white lilies. He would buy a suit. My parents would welcome him into our family and then we would begin to do what married couples do. We would begin to have children. We would begin to build our own house, brick by brick, next to his mother's house. Only we would have running water and a toilet, because I was from the West and everyone knew I could not live without that.
But then I got sick, very, very sick. I had caught malaria one night as I lay sleeping on the rooftop outside of the mosquito netting. I had to be hospitalized and as I lay there surrounded by anti-American doctors and nurses who cursed American intervention in Islamic affairs, I feared for my life. I would ask for a clean needle, and a nurse would jab me with one that had already been used. AIDS patients were in every room, coughing and staring at me.
In that hospital I realized something. Namely, that I could not be sick in such a place. There were borders I could not cross. And once I acknowledged that, I saw the poverty all around, and the way I would be treated as a Western woman whenever I was out of doors and uncovered, and I began to feel the unlikelihood of the entire endeavor. Where would I take my children if they were sick? How would I explain myself, my choices, to my children? I became afraid. I guess you could say, as we do here, I got cold feet.

My child has
Children with incurable or progressive illness will often express concern for how their parents and siblings will be able to cope when they are gone. Adolescents and young adults at the end of life identify hopefulness in terms of comfort for their survivors, particularly family and their health care providers. Through the bereavement program, we help our patients meet these needs by caring for and helping their loved ones during this stressful life experience ... and through the lifelong grieving process.
Cook Children's Oncology Bereavement Program's goal is to provide and maintain a therapeutic relationship for patients and families during every phase of their disease and helping them cope throughout the end of life, death and grieving period. This program is supported and driven by our entire medical team, including physicians, nurses, child life, pastoral services, social workers and support staff.
Here at Cook Children's we believe that legacy is as much about life as it is loss, maybe more so. It's capturing the special times, building a lifetime of memories and sharing precious moments. Some of the ways our families do this include:
We provide legacy building, resources, ongoing contact, and support programs for family, siblings, and the community. There is no standardization of care for hospital based pediatric bereavement programs and very few oncology centers have organized support programs in place. Ours is unique and will lead the field in ongoing bereavement care. Our care for our patients and their families does not end when a child loses his battle.
For information or questions, please feel free to contact Mandy Sale, Hematology and Oncology Bereavement Coordinator, either by email at email@example.com or phone 682-885-1739.

Not just jumping around
Beaded ropes slapped rapped and thwacked against the gym floor. Jump, hop ... jump, hop ... jump hop, the childrens feet kept rhythm with the rope.
There were turners, jumpers and cheerers at Cottonwood Elementarys jump-a-thon Wednesday and Friday to raise money for the schools P.E. program. For one-hour blocks, from 9:15 a.m. to about 2 p.m., students jumped rope. They flocked to the long ropes, which Navy volunteers turned.
Its been a blast. Its good to see all the energy the kids have, said Earl Johnson, sonar technician, first class for the submarine USS Alaska. He and members of the submarines crew spent the majority of Wednesday and Friday helping students jump their way to unicycles.
That double dutch is hard, he said with a laugh.
Students had the option of collecting pledges that will go to the purchase of a unicycle set and other P.E. equipment. Students who gathered the most money had their choice of prizes including a Raleigh bicycle. Gail Smith, P.E. specialist for the school, said the communitys support was evident in the amount of prizes donated.
Jumping rope requires coordination, rhythm, teamwork and belief in yourself, Smith said.
Were having fun, said third-grader Steven Canale. He practices jumping rope at home with his mom.
Wal-mart has donated a matching grant to Cottonwood. In addition, more than 30 local merchants graciously donated prizes for the Jump-A-Thon including a bicycle from Silverdale Cyclery and a one-month family membership at the Bremerton Tennis and Athletic Club.
Jumping rope for a cause is nothing new at Cottonwood. In past years students have participated in Jump Rope for Heart and jumped rope to raised money for a student who eventually lost her fight to leukemia.
The unicycles cost about $65 each and are used to teach students a variety of skills Smith said. A group of students districtwide show their abilities by riding in the Whaling Days parade each year.
It takes teamwork to help spot people so even if they cant (operate a unicycle) themselves, they can help someone succeed, Smith said.
The unicycle also tests a students patience. It takes about nine hours of practice before new riders can cross the distance of the gym floor Smith said.

The culmination of the 2013-14 NHL regular season has many fans ready for the playoffs, but there are many other franchises and fanbases without a horse in the race that have already turned their focus to free agency.
With top stars in the league like forward Thomas Vanek, goalie Ryan Miller and defenseman Andrew MacDonald eligible to become unrestricted free agents during the offseason, the landscape of the NHL could change drastically as these players land long-term deals.
Here are the projected landing spots for the top three unrestricted free agents for 2014.
Thomas Vanek, Forward
The Buffalo Sabres realized how expensive it would be to re-sign a star forward like Thomas Vanek to a long-term deal, and the franchise dealt him to the New York Islanders. While New York tried to lock up Vanek, he rejected the offer and was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens before the deadline.
While there is a legitimate chance that Vanek re-signs with Montreal, his previous desire to test the open market and cash in for the biggest possible contract will result in the impending free agent examining all of his options.
There were several teams rumored to be interested in acquiring Vanek before the deadline—SportsBusiness Journal writer Chris Botta reported that Pittsburgh and Los Angeles were intrigued—and if he hits the open market, every team with a major need for an offensive-minded forward will make a pitch.
Column suggests Canadiens must try to keep Thomas Vanek. In other news, many people like ice cream http://t.co/fo0IHX3VNn— Alexander Panetta (@Alex_Panetta) April 1, 2014
Despite the tumultuous season that saw him lace up with three different franchises, he has still managed to score 15 points in 18 games with Montreal and racked up an impressive 59 points in 64 games.
There is always a chance that a team could come out of left field with a blockbuster deal that Vanek will not be able to turn down, but the success of the Canadiens and the culture of the organization should be enough to convince him to sign a long-term deal with the franchise.
Projected Landing Spot: Montreal Canadiens
Ryan Miller, Goalie
Veteran goaltender Ryan Miller is one of the best in the NHL, but a midseason trade from the worst team in the league (Buffalo Sabres) to arguably the best team in the league (St. Louis Blues) has made for a wild second half of the season.
Miller struggled in Buffalo with no help in front of him. Despite his hot start with the Blues following the trade (7-0-1 in his first eight starts), Miller cooled off considerably during the final five games of the regular season (0-5), albeit with little offensive help (the Blues were outscored 18-3 in that span). With a change in conferences, Miller has needed time to get accustomed to the fast-paced Western Conference and players he rarely faced in Buffalo.
Ryan Miller averaged 35.3 shots per game against w/ #Sabres and had .923 save%. He averages 24.3 for #StlBlues and is at just .903 for them.— Mike Harrington (@BNHarrington) April 11, 2014
Since joining the Blues, Miller has a .903 save percentage and a 2.47 goals-against average. Now that he's had time to adjust and find a rhythm, though, Miller won't want to leave the Blues.
Head coach Ken Hitchcock employs a defensive mindset that is built around protecting the goaltender, and Miller will only continue to get better as he continues to understand the subtle differences between conferences.
Projected Landing Spot: St. Louis Blues
Andrew MacDonald, Defense
Another player traded by the New York Islanders before the deadline was defender Andrew MacDonald, who was acquired by the Philadelphia Flyers and has thrived in his role as one of the team's top defensemen.
Which player would you sign first?
The Flyers are strapped fiscally, according to Cap Geek, so it's likely that MacDonald signs elsewhere.
There are teams—specifically, the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings, as TheFourthPeriod.com reported—that were reportedly interested in trading for MacDonald that could still use his two-way ability next season, and the 27-year-old defender should reach a huge free-agent deal due to his skill and his age.
Projected Landing Spot: Los Angeles Kings or Detroit Red Wings

Hillary's tears last week showed us what politics is really about in this country.
We like to think we pick presidents based on "the issues." But we really don't. "Feel" has as much or more to do with it.
I'm pretty typical of this. I read a lot of newspapers, watch a lot of TV news. I'm "informed," I guess. But I can't say I'll cast my vote solely on the views of the Democratic candidates. They're too similar. (And, call me a cynic, probably bogus, too. Who does what they promised they'd do when they actually get in office?)
Democrats tend to be largely like other Democrats. Republicans tend to be like other Republicans. There are fringe types in both parties, but they seldom get elected president.
We like our candidates to be in the middle somewhere. That's a good thing, by the way. That way we tend not to get nutjobs in the Oval Office, current occupant excepted. (Sorry. Had to. And I don't really mean it. He's not nutty. He's just too damned stubborn for my taste. Can we leave it at that?)
Being centrists, we also tend to not get shouters, brooders, rebels, fops, weak sisters or dawdlers. (Think about it.)
I think we subconsciously weed out those types, which is what I mean about "feel." All candidates have one.
Here's what I think the general "feel" is for our current crop:
Dennis Kucinich -- Feisty little guy with interesting views. But he'll never be president. He has that slight odor of Eau du H. Ross Perot about him. People worry he's a little nutty.
Fred Thompson -- He won't be president either. He's laid-back, which people like, but he's too laid-back. Droopy Dog personified.
Mitt Romney -- Too slick.
John Edwards -- Ditto. He can roll up his sleeves all he wants, but he still comes off as a central casting lawyer.
Mike Gravel -- Angry grandpa. You can picture him sitting on his porch growling at kids who cut across his lawn.
Rudy Giuliani -- Sneaky. You get the sense he's not being straight with you. Likes himself a bit too much.
Mike Huckabee -- Likable, but somehow inflexible. (Plus, what's with the bass guitar? Is playing an instrument a requirement for Arkansas governors or something?)
John McCain -- Quirky and cranky. You can sense the pain that guy's been through.
Hillary Clinton -- R2D2 without all the emotion, although the crying thing in New Hampshire certainly helped. Also, people wonder why she didn't leave Bill when most women would have.
Barack Obama -- The great unknown. There's a whiff of Camelot about him, but people don't know whether to trust him yet.
I'm not saying that's what these people are, by the way, but that's how they come off, and that's what matters most.
Tell me if you think I'm wrong.
I'm not, by the way.

Any foreign correspondent who ever covered the old Soviet bloc remembers how the official press seemed to print only news-free communiques and bland official photos. Scanning newspapers like Pravda or Scînteia or Neues Deutschland, the skilled reader looked for subtle changes from the norm as hints of possible shifts in official thinking. Once a slight deviation was sighted, readers would watch to see if it was just a flash in the pan or whether it became a normal feature.

You have endorsed Frank Lautenberg for U.S. Senate over Dick Zimmer, who is relatively unknown due to sparse campaign funds and noncoverage by the press. You characterized him as a friend of plutocrats in contrast with Lautenberg, friend of the proletariat.
You praise Lautenberg for bringing money to New Jersey for roads. What roads? Every useful road in this state has a toll on it and is at best marginal with our population. Neighboring states, especially to the south, have much better roads for fewer drivers. And isn't it New Jersey policy not to improve roads but to point people toward nonexistent or meager mass transit?
Praising Lautenberg for his bans on tobacco and alcohol use rewards him for adding intrusive controls to our already fettered existence.
You concede that Lautenberg cannot articulate his plans. Is Zimmer inarticulate, too? Or has he ideas that, together with his experience, relative youth and ambition, might better serve the state? Perhaps it's just a matter of you going with the party that, having decades to work things out, has not served New Jersey well at all.

I cannot imagine the tremendous anguish this poor family must be enduring right now. It would be horrible enough to lose a child under any circumstances. But to then be given hope when the father "heard his son crying from the box in which he had been placed" for the funeral, only to have those hopes dashed.
And I can't help but wonder, as Angel's parents must be wondering, whether this baby could have survived if he had been discovered alive sooner. Was the hospital staff negligent? Different stories relate that the doctor didn't properly check the infant's vital signs while others state that staff tried to revive the child for an hour.
According to the AP, the case is being examined for possible negligence. The hospital staff had also mistakenly told the family that the child was a girl, the Associated Press reported.
This happened in Paraguay but could it have occurred in the United States? More than half a million infants, or 1 in 8, are born prematurely each year in America, so it's not impossibility, especially when doctors say they still don't know why some are born early.

Syracuse, NY--A tip has lead Syracuse police to the car they believe struck a city man Monday evening riding his bike on Rowland Street.
Frank Moser, 46, of Syracuse, remained in critical condition today at Upstate University Hospital. He is being treated for fractures to his arms, legs, hips and skull, said Sgt. Tom Connellan, speaking for the Syracuse police.
Acting on a tip, Tuesday police found a gray Dodge Charger parked behind a residence in the 100 block of Russell Place. The car, which is a rental vehicle, was taken to the police department's criminal lab to be processed for forensic evidence, Connellan said.
Police have not made an arrest in the case, he said.
Moser was riding his bike on Rowland Street near South Geddes Street when at about 7 p.m. Monday a vehicle described as a gray or silver Dodge struck him. The vehicle fled the scene heading east on Rowland Street.

Lunch break just got a little more interesting for local residents and workers in Secaucus.
Now every Wednesday, a taste of Thailand, Spain, Cajun cuisine and exotic meat can be found in the Secaucus Food Truck Court in the parking lot at 257 Hartz Way from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The trucks, which have been around for almost a month now, were brought in by Secaucus and the New Jersey Food Truck Association (NJFTA), which consists of about 40 food trucks.
"This is awesome," Tanisha McGowan, a local employee in the area said during her noon lunch break. "I'm already thinking about what I'm getting tomorrow."
Currently the options include Thai food from the Aroy-D truck that offers dishes like Pad Thai, Pad Kra Prau and Chicken Cashew, The Empanada Guy truck, offering a variety of empanadas and Spanish food, The French Quarter truck, boasting an array of Cajun meals and the Dark Side of the Moo truck offering exotic meat including elk, emu, bison and alligator.
"I love it, I love it," President of NJFTA Jon Hepner said of people coming out to the food truck court. "There's definitely diversity, each truck has a specialty."
The current trucks at the location are what Hepner referred to as "The Core 4," or the more premier of the food trucks in the state, but a rotation of about 10 different trucks will begin within the next few weeks, according Hepner, who says the turnout continues to grow weekly.
"This is nothing like you're going to see anywhere else," Hepner, who also owns the Aroy-D truck, said. "What we're doing here in Jersey is very unique."
Each truck must follow a specific set of criteria outlined by the NJFTA to ensure high quality products as the food is made directly in the vehicle.
"We have to keep it authentic, be organic and create food," the Empanada Guy, Carlos Serrano, said while enjoying Pad Thai from the Aroy-D truck. Serrano is also the creator of the new television series "Food Truck Heroes."
The location of the food truck court may be moved to another lot by request of Mayor Michael Gonnelli, who has worked with Hepner for over two years to bring the food truck court to the town.
While the food truck court continues to grow in Secaucus, Hepner hopes to continue to expand the business throughout New Jersey.
