I just got word this morning: UCSD has rejected my application for the Cognitive Science Ph.D. program. Am I disappointed? You bet. Is it devastating? Hardly.
When I left Semantic Research, I had quite a variety of options to explore. The only one that had a hard deadline was applying to UCSD. So I focused my energies there and backburnered everything else. As I got more and more immersed in the cognitive science path, I let it blossom as a core interest within me. It was very natural. It's the crossroads of cognition, computing, language and philosophy of mind, all of which interest me greatly. It was all of a piece: mind, all the way. It even brought my book-in-progress into context; I realized I was really writing a book about the mind and how it relates to the world via technology. At last, I had a coherent focus for all my energies. I had a real, substantial dream I could commit to fully, rather than a grab bag of seemingly unrelated academic interests and professional skills. And I was willing to commit my life to it.
But me-as-cognitive-scientist is not the only me worth being. Our life choices are always shaped by external factors; I never felt as if I had any one "calling" that I was "born to do." If I had lived a century ago, I would have had a completely different life and been a very different person; almost nothing I've done over the years would have been possible or even imaginable. I have different aspects of my abilities and interests I can bring to the fore or blend into a different realization. It's more like a kaleidoscope that's been rotated unexpectedly, creating a new beautiful pattern. Now I'll figure out what that new pattern should be.
I will always love the core topics and investigations of cognitive science. I seriously doubt I'm walking away from that altogether; I've got a book to finish! But the truth is, the path of cognitive science carried a huge opportunity cost. I'd have to stop making anything like decent money for four or five years. At this point in my career, that's quite a bit to give up. Now I don't have to pay that price, which takes a lot of pressure off Heather. Another price to pay was that I wouldn't get to do much world travel. There would be no money or time. Now that's back on the table too. And another thing I might now explore is my love of nature. I love green tech and botany. I'd have to put that aside for cognitive science, but now it's back in play. And I can foster my entrepreneurial nature, which would have withered as a research scientist. I am totally eager for new ventures and opportunities.
Bottom line: It's all good. I'm tacking, changing course and exploring new ways to best leverage and develop my talents, to head to a new kind of flourishing. I'm just as optimistic as ever about the future. I have a some very appealing options right in front of me and a lot of other prospects to develop as I put out feelers to friends and former work colleagues.
PS: If you have something you think might be a good fit, contact me! I'm on the prowl for new challenges and my world is wide, wide open right now.

LONGMEADOW — Barbara Walters will be this year's keynote speaker for the 2014 Women's Leadership Conference, "Own Your Story."
"We are so excited to have Barbara Walters for this year's conference since she has made a career out of sharing people's stories," said Kathleen Wroblewski, the director of marketing and communications for Bay Path College.
The annual conference draws thousands of women from across the Pioneer Valley. Last year's keynote speaker was Queen Latifah with several other popular speakers throughout the day including author Susan Cain and King Peggy.
"We are still getting wonderful feedback about last year's conference and we are hoping this year will be just as well attended and remembered," she said.
The conference has been a Bay Path tradition for 19 years. It will be held on April 25, from 7:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield.
The New York Times best-selling author of "The Secrets of Happy Families," Bruce Feiler, will also be a speaker, one of the few men to speak at the conference.
"He has spent a lot of time writing about contemporary life in America and his work fits this year's theme of the art of storytelling which has become such an important part of our society," she said.
Lara Setrakian has also been announced as a speaker. Setrakian is an Armenian-American journalist with a focus on the Middle East political economy. She is the founder of Syria Deeply, a single issue news website covering the civil war in Syria.
"She creates news by telling stories through social media. Setrakian is not as well known, but she is fascinating," Wroblewski said.
Bay Path will continue to announce speakers and details about the conference on its website www.baypathconference.com

BEAVERTON -- Not included in a $59 million proposal to move the Portland Beavers to Beaverton is an expensive parking garage that could drive up the cost by millions.
Twice this month, Beaverton's lead project negotiator and a key consultant told city policymakers that structured parking in not needed to accommodate the 1,500 nearby stalls required by baseball's Pacific Coast League.
But the draft parking strategy they cited makes no such reference.
"It doesn't say that," said Rick Williams, the consultant who wrote the report. But, he added, "A garage, I don't think is required, from a parking guy's point of view."
Building structured parking above ground-level retail in Beaverton could cost $36,000 per stall, according to a 2007 report that involved Williams.
This month, Beaverton negotiator Gary Brentano and another consultant, Dave Leland, suggested that a parking garage is not needed and the city could instead use existing surface parking owned by private landowners. Beaverton has not identified a potential location for the stadium.
"It allows people that have parking lots today to get into the parking business in the evening and make some money on those lots," Leland said Oct. 5. "We were enthused to hear that the possibility of not having to build another structure right now is possible."
How to get involved: City officials can be reached by e-mail. The nonprofit Oregon Sports Authority has launched an advocacy campaign online. A citizens group's Web site calls for a vote on the proposed $59 million project.
"We engaged Rick Williams ... to do a study to determine whether or not it would be possible to park as many as 1,500 cars off-site without constructing a parking structure adjacent or nearby to the (multi-purpose venue)," Brentano said Oct. 13. "And Mr. Williams' conclusions were that it was possible to do that."
Williams said he doesn't dispute either statement. But his study -- obtained through Oregon's public records law -- neither suggests a parking garage is explicitly needed nor whether the city could get by with only existing surface stalls. In fact, Williams said he was not asked to count the number of existing surface parking spots or if a parking garage is needed.
Instead, Williams said he was hired to craft a strategy outlining parking and redevelopment during the next 20 years.
In his analysis, Williams suggests Beaverton distribute up to 1,500 stalls for baseball across three sites that are close to the stadium and strategically located to serve future redevelopment projects.
"As a means to contain initial parking development costs, consider (for example) constructing a single parking garage of 500 stalls and two surface parking facilities of 500 stalls each," Williams wrote in a section titled "Getting to 1,500."
He outlines eight funding options involving public money. Notably, he references urban renewal as an "attractive source of funding for some initial parking development, particularly if phased with surface and garage facilities."
Beaverton lacks an urban renewal plan. But the city hired a separate consultant to craft a feasibility study, and an eventual plan could go to voters as early as May 2011.
Williams downplayed his written comments about the parking garage.
"I just think I did a lousy job," in explaining garage scenarios, he said.
Williams noted that various TriMet park-and-ride facilities exist and said 1,500 surface spots probably are near the eventual stadium site. He also said the city could negotiate to access the existing 399-stall parking structure at the Round at Beaverton Central.
Williams' analysis is based on Leland-group assumptions that central Beaverton will redevelop over the next 20 years and add 3.2 million square feet of mixed-use space, most of it for office and housing. That would require 6,400 new parking stalls.

Buying second hand mobile phones in New Zealand?
In the last couple of days I've noticed a few people asking why their new second hand mobile phones (oxymoron not intended) is not working on Vodafone.
Here is a tip if you are buying second hand phone from auction sites (or from a "friend of a friend"): if the seller says "it works on 2degrees but won't work on Vodafone" then you know it's either lost or stolen.
Here is why: New Zealand mobile operators do not lock mobile phones sold in the country. If a handset works on 2degrees it should work just fine on Vodafone. However Vodafone does have (and share with Telecom) a database of blacklisted IMEI (the phone's unique identification). This information is not currently shared with 2degrees. An IMEI is blacklisted when the owner reports it stolen or lost.
If you see someone selling a New Zealand sourced mobile phone that works on 2degrees but doesn't work on Vodafone, stay clear.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Need a tour guide for the greater Tampa area?
Look no further than native son and Auburn coach Gene Chizik, who grew up in nearby Clearwater and remembers frolicking at Busch Gardens. He also can tell you the best way to the beach.
"Busch Gardens is as good as it gets," Chizik said. "Rides, roller coasters -- you guys ought to try it."
Chizik and his Tigers arrived in Tampa throughout the day Saturday and were greeted with an all-you-can eat spread from the Outback Bowl's steakhouse sponsor. This morning, Auburn opens five days of practice for the New Year's Day bowl game against Northwestern at Raymond James Stadium.
As the Tigers prepared to board a bus for the team's group outing to a Tampa Bay Lightning NHL game -- "I had to explain to them that there's not four quarters in a hockey match," Chizik said -- their coaches were already harping on the importance of juggling work and play.
"We had a team meeting already where we talked about logistics of that," Chizik said. "We're here for one reason. We're here to win our eighth football game of the season, make no mistake about that. There's got to be a balance in there that they have to be mature enough to understand. There's going to be a time for work and a time for play. The bottom line is we have to come here and go to work, starting (Sunday) morning, starting with meetings early. We've got to be focused and ready to go.
"When football's over for the day, then they can go to the next thing. But football's got to be the priority."
Chizik said everyone on the roster made it to Tampa safely with no stragglers or players delayed in traffic jams or airports. Some players carpooled to stretch their travel money while others took flights from across the country.
Senior Antonio Coleman drove with teammate and fellow Mobile native Nick Fairley.
"I actually drove the entire time because Nick was asleep," Coleman said.
Senior quarterback Chris Todd hopped a flight from Nashville, Tenn.
"Once practice starts we have one thing in mind -- to win a football game," Todd said. "It's back down to business now and everybody understands that."
Players and coaches from Northwestern and Auburn chowed down on 750 pounds of ribeye steak, 750 pounds of chicken, 900 pounds of ribs, 700 pounds of salad, 950 pounds of blooming onions, 200 pounds of green beans and 1,200 pounds of cheesecake, according to the official tally released by bowl officials.
"When it's all-you-can-eat, they're loving life," Chizik said.
As players were filing out of the auditorium, news began to spread about Florida coach Urban Meyer's surprise resignation.
Chizik, a Florida alumnus, had already left and was not available to comment on the news. He did dispel what he called an "Internet rumor" that safeties coach Tommy Thigpen had interviewed for a similar position at Florida.
That point may now be moot now that Meyer has resigned.
Chizik said he expected his entire staff to return in 2010.
"Unless there's something out there that I don't know about, but right now I don't think there is," Chizik said. "Everything should be intact."

Several major highway construction projects are in full swing throughout the Treasure Valley and across Idaho. The renewed activity prompts a reminder for motorists to slow down in work zones as part of "Work Zone Safety Week," April 3-7.
ITD, the Associated General Contractors of Idaho and the Ada County Highway District emphasize the importance of slowing down in work zones to ensure the safety of motorists and construction workers.
As Idaho grows, road improvement projects play a major role in ensuring safe, reliable transportation systems. To minimize the impact on commuters, it is increasingly common for road construction work to be done at night and during off-peak commute hours – making it all the more important for motorists use extra caution in work zones, regardless of the time of day or night.
"Work zones are tangible evidence that Idaho takes care of its infrastructure," said Eric Shannon, ITD District 3 Engineer. "We're also asking Idahoans to take care of themselves, their passengers and the hard-working folks who keep us going."
In 2004, there were 265 collisions in Idaho work zones; 176 of those were in southwest Idaho, which includes the Boise area. Statewide, eight motorists died in work zone collisions and one construction worker was injured that same year. Nationwide, 1,068 people were killed in highway work zones.
Research shows that drivers believe most people killed in construction zone accidents are workers, according to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Organizations; however, four out of five work zone collisions nationwide involve drivers or passengers.
Rear-end collisions account for most work zone crashes. Following too closely, inattentive driving, failing to yield the right of way and improper lane changes also contribute to accidents in work zones. Fines for speeding in a highway work zone are increased to $82.50 from the standard fine of $53.
"In our everyday commutes, we see men and women in orange vests, doing stuff that slows us down, stands in our way, makes us late," Shannon added. "So we hit the gas to get past these inconveniences. In that rush, accidents happen."

Who's hot: Nate Robertson has allowed one earned run in 10 innings since returning from an injury rehabilitation assignment in Toledo, and is back in the rotation.
Who's not: Center fielder Curtis Granderson is 5-for-27(.185) in the past seven games.
Plays of the week: Catcher Gerald Laird threw out speedy Jason Bartlett and Fernando Perez of the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night with strong, accurate throws.
Matchup of the week: Rookies Rick Porcello (12-8, 4.18 ERA) of the Tigers and Ricky Romero (11-7, 4.15) of the Blue Jays became the first pair of first-rounders to make major league debuts against one another in the first series of the season. They look to meet again Sunday in Detroit as Rookie of the Year candidates. Romero beat Porcello, 6-2, in Toronto on April 9.
Schedule: Tigers at Kansas City, 8:10 p.m. Tuesday (Rick Porcello vs. Bruce Chen, FSD), 8:10 p.m. Wednesday (Justin Verlander vs. Robinson Tejada, FSD), 2:10 p.m. Thursday (Jarrod Washburn vs. TBA, FSD). Toronto at Tigers, 7:05 p.m. Friday (Nate Robertson vs. Brian Tallet, FSD), 7:05 p.m. Saturday (Edwin Jackson vs. Scott Richmond, FSD), 1:05 p.m. Sunday (Rick Porcello vs. Ricky Romero, FSD).
Analysis: Detroit plays two series this week against clubs that are 20-plus games out of first place, and won't face Toronto ace Roy Halladay and are unlikely to face Kansas City ace Zack Greinke, whose start on Thursday likely will be pushed back. They need to feast in these games with 13 of the final 16 games coming against the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox.

And even people who disagree with him would think that it made sense?
Well, people who began disagreeing with him, would end up saying, "Well, that's probably out of this mass of ideas and proposals being put forward, ah, that is probably the best synthesis that anyone could make." So, yes, in that sense, we did all end up, ah, in his corner. Even if we had, you know, differing ideas at the outset and maybe the next day in fact. Then you had to come back and convince Dr. King. What was marvelous about him is that since he would hear you out, everyone was able to express themselves and so on. He really never sat on any one.

We have puzzled for years over how to make Louisiana more attractive to business, and at last we have found the secret. We must make companies pay more in taxes. Then they'll come running. That is the insight behind Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposed overhaul of the tax system.
The proposition sounds so absurd that it is probably true, and the pro-business Tax Foundation is in no doubt that Jindal's plan will gladden the entrepreneurial heart. Perhaps that is hardly surprising; the foundation has been the administration's guru throughout deliberations that concluded personal and corporate income taxes should be abolished along with franchise taxes. They would be replaced by an extra $3 billion a year in sales taxes.
Individual taxpayers in every income bracket would be better off, according to the administration. Given that the swap is advertised as "revenue neutral," that means business would have to pick up plenty slack. No problem, says Revenue Department head Tim Barfield. Its reward would be a "predictable, transparent and clear" tax system.
Businessmen no doubt value predictability and transparency, but their highest priority tends to be the bottom line, and they generally do not seek an opportunity to pay higher taxes. But the elimination of income taxes would promote economic and population growth, Jindal averred in a newspaper column, bringing profits that would more than make up for the sales tax increase.
The Tax Foundation chipped in to note that "corporate and individual income taxes are generally considered the most destructive taxes to income growth." Abolishing them would release companies from "a great deal of complexity and compliance costs."
Sales taxes are generally considered the most destructive to the budgets of less opulent households, and hundreds of clergy from all over the state petitioned Jindal to back off, but Barfield insisted there are no plans to "do tax reform on the backs of the poor."
Jindal proposes to negate the regressive effect of sales taxes with rebates and credits. Food, medications and utilities would remain exempt. It is also likely that the poor would not bat an eyelid if the Legislature went along with Jindal's plan to extend sales taxes to landscaping, for instance.
JIndal is not inclined to undersell tax reform, which, by his account, would be little short of magic; from the humblest individual to the biggest corporation, most everyone's a winner. Still, this is a Republican redistribution of wealth, so the richer you are, the more you stand to benefit. Humbler working stiffs, who will spend pretty much their entire paychecks willy nilly, might wind up with a net gain of a few bucks, while higher up the scale there would be thousands more to play with.
Not everyone would rejoice, but the potential losers do not enjoy widespread sympathy. Fat cats currently benefit from a long list of loopholes, Jindal pointed out in his column, but it won't be so easy to rig a system dependent on sales taxes. Meanwhile, Jindal plans to hit smokers with an extra buck a pack.
Jindal's Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret, who has been consulting the Tax Foundation a great deal lately, says Louisiana would rise from 32 to 4 on its State Business Tax Climate Index if the Jindal plan were implemented.
Jindal says that 60 percent of the 3 million jobs created over the last 10 years have been created in the nine states that do not have an income tax, although a couple of those states do tax dividend income. Still, there is no question that economic growth has generally been strongest where working stiffs get to keep whatever is left after the feds take their cut.
While that is unlikely to be a total coincidence, there is no guarantee that Jindalomics would lead to Nirvana here. Our sales tax rate, already among the highest in the country, would rise to almost 11 percent, leave the rest in the dust and make tourists think twice before opening their wallets. All manner of hitherto exempt goods and services would be brought into the net so that hairdressers, for example, would be turned into tax collectors.
Tax reform promises to be so stressful for retailers that they might be tempted to reach for a cigarette. At these prices, they'd better resist.

A former Easton man who recruited eight other people to cash more than $13,000 in paychecks they didn't earn from a nonexistent company is in Northampton County Prison in lieu of $1 million bail, according to court documents.
Alexander Cedano, formerly of South Side, was arraigned today on 75 felony charges and two misdemeanor charges in a check-cashing scam dating to 2012, court documents state. Cedano and his accomplices cashed checks from a fake company named "Inspiron" that drew money from the payroll account of Magnetic Windings, a power supply business in Palmer Township, police said.
The checks listed the address of the fake Inspiron company as 1722 Reese Drive in "Freemamnsburg," which is Freemansburg misspelled, police said. There is no such street in the borough, police said.
Cedano and the others cashed the checks in April 2012 at locations in Easton, Phillipsburg and Bethlehem Township, Pa., police said. Two people, Jennifer Johnson and Stephen Fucci, used Warren County photo identification cards to cash the checks at the Phillipsburg Check Cashing Co., police said.
Phillipsburg police apprehended the pair three days later when Johnson tried to cash another Inspiron check made out to her and linked to the Magnetic Windings account, court documents state. A Phillipsburg detective sergeant told Palmer Township police there were two pay stubs in her purse, police said.
In May 2012, Johnson told police she and Fucci gave their Social Security numbers to a man she knew as Alex, and he gave her the checks, police said. Alex would pick them up, drive them to cash the checks at the company, then give them a cut of the money, according to court documents. They met at a friend's house in town, court documents state.
Johnson picked Cedano out of a photo lineup and described his car, police said. She told police he drove her to South Side Easton once and parked in an alley, while he left for 10 or 15 minutes, police said. Cedano came back with a check and drove to Wal-Mart in Lower Nazareth Township, according to court documents. Another man went in and cashed the check, police said.
Cedano was charged and arrested May 16, 2012, for five counterfeit checks made payable to Stephen Weaver Jr., of Easton, police said. Weaver told Palmer Township police a man he knew as Alex made the checks and drove him to cash them, keeping half the money, police said. Police said Weaver told them Cedano got the bank numbers from an employee of the business. Weaver, who was arrested in June 2012, also picked Cedano out of a photo lineup, according to court records.
Police arrested and charged Cedano on May 29, 2012, with three other checks made payable to Michael Bennett, who was also charged, and cashed at Wal-Mart stores throughout the Lehigh Valley, according to court documents. His story, described in court records, was similar to the others.
When police obtained a warrant and searched Cedano's West Wilkes-Barre Street home, they found computers, a portable hard drive, USB drives and a paper shredder, police said. Some of the paper shreds read "payable to," according to court records.
Police interviewed Cedano with an attorney present at the end of May 2012, and he told them Weaver obtained the account number of Magnetic Windings, police said. Cedano said they made the checks in the attic bedroom of his own house, where Weaver would bring a laptop and printer, according to court documents.
Cedano said Weaver ordered the check paper, and he showed Weaver how to make the checks, according to police. They made the checks together, and Weaver recruited people to cash the checks, he told police, according to court documents.
Police interviewed Tiffina Jankowski, who worked at Magnetic Windings from February to March 2012, according to court documents. She said she lived across the street from Cedano, who asked her for a copy of her check, police said. Jankowski gave him the copy with her pay stub attached in March 2012, according to court documents. She said Cedano knew Weaver was charged with cashing counterfeit checks and said he would blame Weaver for making them, police said.
Two checks made payable to Cedano were also deposited in his Bank of America account, according to court documents. Jankowski is not listed in court documents as cashing any of the checks. She was arrested in July 2012 on forgery and theft charges.
Cedano, 44, was arraigned today before District Judge Jacqueline Taschner on felony accounts related to forgery, theft and receiving stolen property and misdemeanor charges of criminal attempt to commit theft by deception.

Andrew and all,
I have been using the survey version of the TABE (7/8 & now 9/10) for
about 8 years. I was told early on not to allow calculator use on
the Applied Mathematics test, and because at that time I had not
received any formal training with the assessments, took this as the
rule. I suppose I also felt that it would somehow mask my students
problems with calculation in context and artificially inflate
scores... thus, I didn't deviate from that "rule". I have been
certified and recertified for TABE assessment, and only recently
learned of the recommendations for calculator use!
I was knocked over to learn that calculator use on the Applied
Mathematics portion of the tests was allowed (as designated by the
test publishers, not my program supervisor). My head was totally in
the sand, of which I am embarrassed and regretful.
I immediately retested a few students I have had for a significant
period of time, whose test scores on App. Math have not changed much
in that period. What I discovered was important, I believe. One
student's score jumped 3 G.E. levels! This confirmed for me, who
knows him well, that his errors on the Applied Math section were
significantly tied to his calculation skills, and not as much with
his reading skills. (He had not taken the D10 version in a year, so
I don't feel the jump was due to repetition). ** I understand that
calculator use is only advisable if you have also given Math
Computation, on which a calculator would rarely, if ever, be advisable.
I realize that in allowing the calculator use on the "post" test,
while I had not offered it on the "pre" test may have skewed things
somewhat, but the discussion that came out of us both reviewing his
results was one of the most revealing and productive we have had this
year. This student has been with me "on and off" for 3 years. It
has greatly increased his confidence in using the calculator more on
the GED Mathematics test, something I know he has not fully
ultilizing. It also helped us separate the reading comprehension
issues from the calculation issues somewhat. The fact that he had
read, set up, and solved the problem correctly, but not accurately
(dividing errors, multiplication mistakes, etc) focused our
conversation on how the calculator might assist him.
Unfortunately, I have no training to diagnose dyscalcula, and
wouldn't try to, but I realize that many of our students struggle
with basic calculation skills (as has been discussed here), and this
was a wonderful way to magnify that realization for my student (and
for me).

After a rest day on Sunday, the refreshed players were in a fighting mood in round 9 of the FIDE London Grand Prix!
Boris Gelfand lost his first game of the tournament against Alexander Grischuk, which allowed Shakhriyar Mamedyarov to snatch the lead with just two rounds remaining. Mamedyarov beat Leinier Dominguez Perez with an aggressive attacking game to take his score to 6/9.
Elsewhere, Veselin Topalov scored his second win of the competition against an out-of-sorts Vassily Ivanchuk, and Michael Adams piled on the agony for Hikaru Nakamura by inflicting a fourth consecutive loss on the American.
The standings after 9 of 11 rounds
Alexander Grischuk beat Boris Gelfand in round nine
Beware the Shak attack! Mamedyarov takes the lead in London
Veselin Topalov is one of three players just half a point behind the leader
.Last-minute replacement Michael Adams is holding his own in London
.Peter Leko clung on for a draw against Wang Hao
.Rustam Kasimdzhanov survived a breakthrough in a blocked position by Anish Giri
On Sunday's rest day, many of the players visited the Saatchi Gallery's Art of Chess exhibition
.The London Grand Prix is the first tournament of the 2012/13 FIDE Grand Prix series. After London the series moves on to Tashkent, Lisbon, Madrid, Berlin and Paris. Each tournament is a single round-robin featuring 12 out of the 18 players in the Grand Prix, and each player competes in four of the six events. Details of dates and participants can be found here.
The overall winner and runner-up of the Grand Prix qualify for the March 2014 Candidates Tournament.
The schedule for the London Grand Prix:
Rounds start at 14:00 local time (13:00 UTC). The time control is 40 moves in 2 hours, followed by 20 moves in 1 hour, then an extra 15 minutes to a finish with a 30 second increment after the second time control.
Draws can only be claimed for triple-repetition of position, theoretical draws, or 50-move rule.
The official regulations for the 2012 FIDE Grand Prix can be found here.

Look out for coverage at Chess.com/TV!
Jeez, I love Naka's style, but this is just...bad. I know he can't be feeling too great, I wonder if something else is going on. He seems distracted.
Not surprised Grischuk was the one to upset Gelfand, more than once I have heard from other GMs that Grischuk is a very awkward player, employing very unorthodox openings.
naka why????? i like your style i am upset
Meh, still got like 35 games left. An eternity. Regardless, I'd be surprised if it didn't end up being Carlsen v Anand.
Nakamura's play is painful to watch. Could you imagine trying to get past this kind of brutal drubbing?!
Naka-haters can start piling on now... we know how much you love it.

[QUOTE=ChocoTaco369;1122516]Low nutrient diets and foods that lack satiety lead to increased caloric consumption, which leads to weight gain. Again, CICO. This is nothing new, and one of the fundamentals of CICO and why Primal works - whole foods contain more nutrition and satiety per calorie. That's all this is.
See above. That is EXACTLY what you said - low satiety foods lead to more calorie consumption which leads to more weight gain. That is the perfect definition of CICO. Thanks for agreeing buddy.[/QUOTE]
Lol. I'm glad it took 60 something pages of this thread to find out that ChocoTaco has been misdefining CICO this whole time.
Thread = Waste of Time.
Before you hold CICO up on an altar, you should be clear what CICO says. Because its not what you say it is.

Daniel Meiser • 33 • Mystic
At 33, Daniel Meiser has already carved out more of a career in the Connecticut restaurant business than others accomplish in a lifetime. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan, he landed an internship and subsequent job with renowned chef Daniel Boulud before returning to Connecticut to join the Max Restaurant Group. He soon made his way up the ranks to become the organization's youngest general manager; following that tenure, he was instrumental in opening Hartford's critically acclaimed eatery Firebox. His latest endeavor is the "farm and sea to table"-themed Oyster Club in Mystic, of which he is co-owner and general manager and which opened late last year to rave reviews.
Dina Mariani • 28 • Wilton
Watching hopelessly as your father lost his life to blood cancer when you were only 14 would be devastating for anyone, but it also steeled Dina Mariani's resolve to spend her life working to help find a cure. As deputy executive director of Wilton's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Connecticut Chapter, over the last two-and-a-half years she's raised the society's local profile by creating three events—an authors' luncheon, 5K road race, and Hops & Grapes, a food, wine and beer tasting—that have resulted in a 38 percent net gain in charitable donations. "More importantly, we are now servicing many more blood-cancer patients in the Connecticut area," says chapter Executive Director Jeannie Montano.
Veronica DeLandro • 35 • New Britain
The colleague who nominated Veronica DeLandro for this honor describes her as a "dynamic young professional with outstanding quality and true commitment to her community." We concur. In her professional life DeLandro is program director for College Summit CT, a nonprofit organization that helps school districts increase their college enrollment rates. When she's not at work, she's busy serving on the boards of the John E. Rogers African American Cultural Center and the Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity, as well as playing a key role at the Granville Academy Mentor Program at ESPN, which she founded.
Alison Fischer • 37 • Westport
The bridal business can be tough and highly competitive, with only a few shops making it big. Alison Fischer's The Plumed Serpent, in Westport, is one of them. After picking up fashion experience with Nicole Miller and Ralph Lauren, Fischer set out on her own with a small prom-dress shop. Following a major makeover in 2007, she now presides over a 3,000-square-foot salon where brides-to-be, family and friends can view and choose from Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Anne Barge, Carolina Herrera and many others, along with bridesmaid and mother-of-the-occasion lines.
Andrew J. Lee • 39 • Glastonbury
Andrew Lee is a vice president at Aetna, where he leads hospitalist solutions; he previously served as chief of staff in the Aetna president's office. He's passionate about his work—increasing value in health care—and also about bringing equity to Native Americans: As a newly minted master in public policy from Harvard's Kennedy School, he headed the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development (USA Weekend profiled him as one of seven "Native American Standouts" in 2007). One of 36 North Americans designated a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, he's seen as, and sees himself as, someone who works across diverse communities to bridge differences—and make a difference—for the betterment of society as a whole.

Poultry farmer, EERC partner on poultry litter syngas technology
An Iowa-based turkey farmer has partnered with the U.S. DOE and the University of North Dakota's Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) to test and further develop a fixed bed, downdraft gasifier intended to produce syngas from poultry litter.
DenYon Energy, a turkey grower operation in Webster City, Iowa, was founded in 2009. In 2011, owner Dennis Weis earned funding from several sources to design and build a demonstration system at the farm. Now, DenYon Energy has licensed the gasifer technology from EERC, and together the partners will continue testing it for use at the demonstration facility.
The inventor of the technology, Nikhil Patel, research scientist and project manager for the poultry gasifer project at EERC, said the team is now trying to achieve a complete solution for the poultry industry. "This project can lead to environmental and economic sustainability by helping a major food processing industry eliminate waste and become more energy self-reliant," Patel said. "Poultry farms around the globe could use their own waste to supply lower-cost energy to their operations and reduce disposal challenges."
DenYon plans to create gasification units that will process waste from an individual farm and meet that farm's energy requirements without each unit connected to the grid. An operator will load the feedstock into the unit's hopper, but the overall system will be automated. The system will also capture the nutrient value of the poultry litter, reducing the mass of the litter by as much as two-thirds before it is used as biochar. According to the EERC, a farm generating 3,000 tons per year of waste litter has the potential to produce roughly 280 kilowatts, which is enough to power 150 homes.
EERC will continue with systems testing for the next several weeks, but according to DenYon Energy, the system could be available in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The funding for the project came in part from the Iowa Power Fund, which provided $2 million, and from the U.S. DOE, which contributed $750,000. Frontline BioEnergy out of Ames, Iowa, is performing implementation services for the project.
Although the EERC typically works with private firms on large scale projects designed for wide commercial use, EERC's director Gerald Groenwold said one of the EERC's main strategic initiatives is to work on distributed generation projects that provide practical, environmentally sound solutions for its clients' site-specific needs.

Joshua Ledet defeats a difficult song. ESPN's Final Four schedule. The complete "Treme" benefit auction list.
TV Linkzilla Daily for 3/29/12 starts now.
We geezers remember the weepy "Without You" as a primo vehicle for the remarkable voice of the late, great Harry Nilsson.
The even-more-geezerly among us remember it as a Badfinger song.
And so it was, alas, referred to as Mariah Carey's song throughout Wednesday's (March 28) "American Idol" by all but semi-geezer Jimmy Iovine. (Also, alas, by many after-episode recappers.)
Louisiana's Joshua Ledet sang it well anyway.
The recap roundup:
Lisa de Moraes @ WashingtonPost.com:
Iovine pronounces Joshua Ledet's song choice, Harry Nilsson's "Without You," "one of the most challenging five songs you could ever sing in pop music." "That chorus is a magic trick," Iovine warns. He doesn't sound too confident about Joshua's ability to pull it off. But Joshua, who'd picked the tune because his idol is Mariah Carey who'd covered it, runs through the difficult changes effortlessly and with so much emotion he has trouble finishing the number.
Another standing O at the judges' table. "It was Mariah's birthday yesterday and I was talking to her," Randy begins. That's all we heard. "You're a phenom," JLo adds.
Annie Barrett @ EW.com:
Joshua Ledet's cover of Mariah Carey's version of "Without You" started off a little shaky, but I could have been disoriented by all the weird "unfinished trees" he had to navigate onstage. There were even some digital hack-job trees in the giant oval behind him. Pretty scary stuff. I had no idea this song required an eerie doomsday forest.
Perhaps the theme of the segment was "sap." After Joshua took us to church again with a hearty helping of vocal acrobatics, he became extremely emotional and even wiped his nose in the middle of the last line of the song. Unheard of! Standing O from the judges! So at this point they had stood up for every guy, and J. Lo would soon be forced against her will to rise to her feet for Elise. That seems fair.
Anyway, I liked this from Joshua -- it reminded me of last week's "She's Got a Way," but in this case the song actually did warrant his histrionics and a big crescendo.
Chuck Barney @ MercuryNews.com:
Joshua Ledet: He sang himself into tears, and he sang the judges into a standing ovation. This is love, and Joshua can sing to me any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Watch the song (typing continues below box):Local angle

Summer Jubilee — Community comes together to help kids prepare for school
TULALIP — "It's exceeded my expectations," said Turning Point Community Church Pastor Mike Villamor, one of the organizers of this year's "Summer Jubilee" Aug. 8.
"Our finances for this year's event were less than half of what they'd been the previous year, so we had to cut our advertising budget completely, and we changed locations this year, from Comeford Park in Marysville to the Tulalip Amphitheatre. We even changed the day this year, from a Sunday to a Saturday, and we didn't even have a sign on I-5 to let people know where we were. We gave people every reason not to show up to this year's Summer Jubilee, but I can't even keep count of how many have already showed up."
The Summer Jubilee was started more a decade ago, to provide school supplies for children in the community who otherwise would have been unprepared for their first days of school. Villamor noted that the event began "with hand-outs to 50 kids in our basement," but by last year, it had managed to draw an estimated 12,000 attendees and dispense school supply sets to 5,000 students, as well as close to 900 free haircuts. More than a dozen different local churches came together to coordinate and support the event this year, by providing planning, funding, promotion and volunteer manpower to serve the nearly 20,000 attendees expected for this year's Summer Jubilee. Every part of the event was free of charge, funded by the churches, businesses and other organizations that chose to contribute, including a free hot dog barbecue, cotton candy and sno-cones, live music, entertainment and gigantic bouncy houses for kids to play on.
"My favorite part of this event is this tent right here," Villamor said, gesturing to a covered area where dozens of area hair stylists were trimming the hair of students from throughout the region. "If you go to school on your first day looking disheveled, it brings your confidence down. These kids will be walking out of here today with salon-quality haircuts, which will make them feel good, which will make their chances of succeeding in school that much higher."
Marysville's Alyssa Ahlquist sat still for her haircut, as her parents picked up school supplies for her first day of kindergarten this fall. Alyssa's father, Adam Ahlquist, explained that their family was attending the Summer Jubilee for the first time this year, and found out about it through a relative who works for the Marysville School District. While Alyssa enjoyed the free food and the bouncy houses, Adam admitted that the free haircut and school supplies have eased their financial burdens a bit.
"We probably could have gotten her ready for the school year with a little help, but it would have been a lot harder," Adam Ahlquist said. "When you're already paying for school clothes and books, the expenses just add up."
Only one of Wendy Murakami's three children is old enough to start school this year, but getting 5-year-old Chloe ready for kindergarten already costs enough that Wendy deemed it a blessing that the Summer Jubilee was there to provide free school supplies and a haircut, especially since Chloe's last haircut was in the spring of last year.
"It's been too long," Wendy Murakami laughed. "I'll try to have them trim all three kids' hair, if there's time. I heard about this event through my church, Turning Point, and I've never been to anything like it before. It's like a free carnival, and it's a fabulous way to give back to the community. It makes Chloe very excited to start school."
Younger kids weren't the only ones taking advantage of the free haircuts. Tiffany Diggs will be an incoming sophomore at Lummi High School in Bellingham this fall, and she admitted that it simply wouldn't have been possible for her to obtain school supplies or a haircut before the first day of school otherwise. As for incoming Marysville-Pilchuck High School junior Anthony Burgess, he and his twin brother attended their second Summer Jubilee this year, and while Anthony's last haircut was more recent than his brother's, he still appreciated the opportunity to get his ears lowered before school starts.
"This is an awesome event," said Koral Burgess, Anthony's mother. "It's very spiritual, so I can take my kids here, drop them off in a location and still feel comfortable."
At the free school supplies line, where sets of age-appropriate school supplies were dispensed to preschoolers and grade schoolers through middle and high schoolers, Eric and Valerie Wise walked away with sets of supplies for their 14-year-old son Eian and their 8-year-old daughter Alexa.
"I think this is our second or third year," Valerie Wise said. "It would have been a challenge, but we could have gotten school supplies on our own. Still, this really, really, really helps out a lot. It's amazing to see how open and giving people can be. There are no strings attached, just kindness, and giving from God's heart."
While the Wises heard of the event through family, the Coholans just happened upon it by chance. Frank Coholan, his wife Selina and their son James, who's entering the second grade, had come down from Chilliwack, British Columbia, for a camping trip.
"This is quite the event," Frank Coholan said, as James toted his school supplies. "It's got a nice theme of supporting students, and they're doing God's work, so that's two good things."
After she'd finished giving free haircuts, Everett hairstylist Ruby Rhodes picked up school supplies for her nieces and nephews.
"This is my first year here, too," said Rhodes, who was recruited for the event from the Northwest Hair Academy. "I'm so happy to see all the kids getting excited to get ready for school. If they ask me to come back next year, I will."
Marysville's Lorelai Adams couldn't resist showing off her school supplies for kindergarten to everyone around her. Lorelai is the oldest of three children, and her father, Jeff Adams, acknowledged that the family budget would have been "very tight" without the Summer Jubilee.
"Every little bit helps," Jeff Adams said. "I didn't realize how big this event is. With all the kids being served, the volume of it is just amazing. I love that these churches and the community are showing how much they care about our kids, by giving them a good start to their school year."

Red Mountain Theatre Company presents Broadway's sizzling smash hit Sweet Charity (October 6-23, 2011).
Where are you from originally? If not Birmingham, what have you enjoyed most about this city while being here?
Born in Birmingham, AL. Spent a few years growing up in Chattanooga, TN, but ultimately ended up right back in Birmingham. I love it!
What's your favorite thing(s) to do when you're not performing?
I'm a huge bookworm! If I've got any spare time, I'm probably curled up somewhere reading some random book I found on the shelves that looked interesting. I'm also an amateur photographer, so I enjoy taking pictures and spending time in the darkroom (yeah, that's right! Old fashioned film!!)
What's something interesting that most people wouldn't know about you?
I'm actually the stage manager/director of a professional dance company right here in Birmingham.
What's your favorite role you've ever played? What made it so special?
I was a "Phantom" in The Rocky Horror Show at Flat Rock Playhouse for our Apprentice Showcase. We did a great rock and roll spin on all the vocals and choreography so it was kind of like being the headliner of a concert, not to mention everyone yelling lines along with us and spraying us with waterguns and confetti! It was just an amazing experience and everyone involved made it so memorable!
I am a proud member of the ensemble! I love being able to tap into different personalities the entire show and even I don't know what some of those are yet! It makes my track interesting and keeps me on my toes.
What has been the most enjoyable part of rehearsing this show?
Definitely the cast and production staff. Everyone has been so nice and welcoming to the newcomers (like me!) and they've all got such amazing energy. It's also really nice to feel that "team effort" feeling that I get from this company.
What's your favorite moment/song in the show?
What don't I like?! I'm sure this will be an ever-changing opinion because I'm sure it depends on my mood, but today it has to be "I'm a Brass Band." Morgan (Charity) has so much energy and the number is so upbeat that you can't help but have fun! Another favorite is "Rhythm of Life" simply because of its randomness in the show, but it also has great energy to it and most of the cast is onstage so there's a lot of different characters to interact with.
Why should Birmingham audiences see Sweet Charity?
"Big Spender"... cute girls in short skirts. Need I say more? Haha! But truly, the company has been working really hard on making this a great opening for RMTC's season. The story itself is great, and then add all the amazing talent that has gone into telling it and, well, it'd be a crime if someone missed it (okay, maybe not really, but it should be!) It's a little sexy, a little crazy, and a lot of fun!
Red Mountain Theatre Company presents

Sean Roney added three goals and one assist, Will Cole one goal and one assist, Tyler Mealy two assists, and Brad Simmons one assist. Simmons led an excellent defensive effort, and Dan Maeder was the shutout goalie throughout.
College news
Sheffield High School graduate Tessa Vargas scored 35 points over two Penn State University Athletic Conference wins this weekend for Penn State DuBois. Vargas scored 18 points, including three 3-pointers, in a 67-64 win over Penn State Wilkes-Barre on Friday. She added 17 points, including three 3's, in a last-second 55-54 win on Saturday over Penn State Hazletine. Teammate Lynnie Schirmer hit a game-winning 3-pointer to give PS DuBois a 10-4 overall and 6-1 conference record.

A cold St. Louis, Missouri was the host to yet another great race in the 250 class. Snow was in the air throughout the day but the teams were graced with another weekend of luxury with indoor pitting. The 250 class heated things ups a bit in the city when the young professionals took to the track in the Edward Jones Dome. The point's leader coming into the weekend was Dean Wilson aboard the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki. The previous weekend Wil Hahn made a monumental accomplishment in his career by taking his first Supercross main event win in the 250 class. That momentum and confidence would carry with him into St. Louis.
The first heat race Zach Bell ripped a signature holeshot. Wharton made a quick pass on the first lap and would ride to a comfortable victory in front of the St. Louis crowd. In the second heat race the Munn Racing KTM rider Lance Vincent launched out of the gate to claim the holeshot and was out to a lead in the first few laps. Todd Krieg went down in the first few laps and it resulted in a red flag and the riders had to go back to the gate. When the gate dropped Lance Vincent pulled another holeshot but was quickly passed by Dean Wilson who would take the checkers will Wil Hahn in second.
In the LCQ Zach Bell took the victory and displayed his Ronnie Mac skills with a nice boner air over the finish with Faith in the last transfer spot. Unfortunately, the epic boner air was followed up by lowside after the finish but Bell quickly got up and threw up the "all good" fists in the air.
The stage was set for the main event and the 250 class would not disappoint. Wil Hahn got out front early and tried to run away from the rest of the pack. Vince Friese and Lance Vincent were hot on his heels in the first lap but Wharton and Wilson were able to make their way by them. On lap 7 Wilson was able to find his way around Wharton and set his sights on Hahn. Hahn was able to keep his distance for a few laps but Wilson was searching for a spot to make the pass.
On lap 11 Wilson set Hahn up for the pass before the whoops but was unsuccessful. Hahn looked as though he was on a mission and wasn't going to let Wilson rain on his parade. Wilson was using the entire track to get around Hahn but he just couldn't make the passes stick. When the candles were lit in the main event Wil Hahn would take the checkers for another win to put in the record books.
Going into Daytona Wil Hahn now has the championship point's lead over Wilson by one point. In a year of new faces taking victories this could be a turning point for Wil Hahn's confidence. Dean Wilson has another promising threat from the Geico Honda team this year and the battle will continue on the infield of Daytona Speedway next Saturday night. Will we see Dean Wilson or Wil Hahn take another victory in Daytona or will we see another new face on top of the podium when the dust settles?

MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut man is facing drug charges after police allegedly discovered a hallucinogenic mushroom-growing operation in his apartment.
Police arrested Colton Perznaowski, 21, of Manchester on Wednesday after receiving a tip that illegal drug activity was taking place at his home.

on your game in morocco
It doesn't matter if you're lacking in eye-hand coordination or are not competitive by nature, because Intrepid's Jo Stewart discovered that watching the local game in Morocco can be a winning real life experience…
"The advent of air travel, growth of technology and evolution of infrastructure means we're all more mobile than ever, crossing time zones with ease, skipping across oceans like stones. Sometimes, this hyper mobility is a blessing (you can be in another continent so fast); other times it can be a curse (you can leave a country without ever feeling connected to it). Well, want to get under the skin of a country? I've found that one of the best ways to uncover a nation's psyche is through sport.
Attending a local sporting match reveals rituals (like the Mexican wave at the cricket), regional cuisine (hot dogs and beers all round!), local language (sometimes colourful) and traditional costume (who could resist buying a giant foam finger while at a baseball match?).
Recently I was lucky enough to see the city of Marrakech reach fever pitch during an Africa Cup qualifier match. Like many other African nations, football (or soccer) is worshipped, played and followed with serious intensity. And this wave of patriotism didn't just last for the length of the match. It started days before, and continued days after. Who knows, Morocco could still be basking in its post-win glory right now?
Cars, vans, motorcycles, donkeys and kids on roller skates filled the streets, chanting, singing, laughing and dancing. Flags were draped out of every car window, shop front and home, as the city whipped itself into a wild frenzy of pride, elation and extreme happiness. Although tickets to the match were booked out long before I was in Morocco, it was fun to watch it on the television in the hotel lobby bar and to walk the streets, absorbing the electric atmosphere and witnessing the deafening celebrations that featured men, women, children, elderly people, travellers, locals and even animals.
So no matter where you are in the world, I wholeheartedly recommend getting amongst it at a local sporting match to reveal the true essence of a culture or city. Whether you're watching masked men writhe about in the Lucha Libre wrestling of Mexico, sitting around a crowded neighbourhood cafe in Italy watching an AC Milan match or attending a cacophonous cricket match in India, you're guaranteed to see a genuine slice of a country which will entertain, shock, delight and probably raise your blood pressure at times!"

Websites for Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, the Jazz National Historical Park in the French Quarter, Chalmette Battlefield and Chalmette National Cemetery all include the same message: "Because of the federal government shutdown, all national parks are closed and National Park Service webpages are not operating. For more information, go to www.doi.gov."
A trip to the Department of the Interior website leads to a letter from President Barack Obama addressed to federal employees.
In nearby Gulfport, Miss., Ship Island Excursions is temporarily out of business. The 87-year-old private company provides ferry service to the popular beaches of West Ship Island, which is part of the Gulf Island Nation Seashore.
Telephone calls to Ship Island Excursions today (Oct. 1) are answered with this message: "Update, Oct. 1, 2013. Due to the government shutdown, the National Park service has closed West Ship Island. We will update this announcement when we get further notice that Ship Island will be reopened. Sorry for any inconvenience."
Kevin Buckel, director of sales and marketing for Ship Island Excursions, said the company provides a charter cruise from time to time, but delivering sun- and surf-lovers to the desert island 12 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico is the bulk of their business.
Buckel said a representative of the National Park Service warned the company last week that in the event of a government shutdown, the island would surely be on the list of expendable services.
"We got word this morning of the island being closed. So we changed phone messages and the website, and now we're going to take it day by day," Buckel said.
Buckel is philosophical about the closure. He pointed out that the Skrmetta family has been running a ferry service to the island since 1926 and has faced cataclysmic hurricanes, the 2010 oil spill and other challenges through the years. He said the owners have learned to "tighten their belts" when needed. During the summer busy season, the Ship Island ferries haul 600 to 1,000 sunscreen-soaked passengers per day. In the current off-season, the ferry service carries just 200 passengers per day.
The 12 to 15 employees who work on the ferries are not paid when the boats don't run, Buckel said.

Simple back bending poses are the pathway to maintaining a flexible spine or restoring health to an ailing one. It just takes a few minutes of daily practice to be well on your way to achieving a happy back.
This month we are focusing on Locust Pose for back health and, luckily for us, it comes in a variety of modifications. You can check out last week's version of "No Hands Locust" on silive.com/healthfit.
This week, we are using our hands to get a little more lift through the torso. Start by lying on your stomach with legs fully outstretched and palms flat on the floor. Place the palms so that the fingertips line up (more or less) with the middle of your breastbone and the elbows line up (more or less) over your wrists.
Then lift your head and shoulders off the floor while pulling your shoulder blades into your back ribs to open up the front of the chest. Next, lift your legs off the floor and strive to keep the legs straight.
The balance point for this pose is the naval. Energize the pose more by pressing down through your palms and lifting up through your legs. Take five deep breaths and then release down and rest for a few moments before trying it a second time.
Back bending poses are a challenge to perform regularly because they require the spine to let go of its habitual patterns, which may be comfortable but not particularly life enhancing. As we loosen up our spines, and especially as we loosen up the upper most areas of the spine, we will find there is a corresponding opening in our consciousness.
We will tend to live more in the present moment and less in the past or future. Since all of life is happening in this moment now, it is a much more effective time zone in which to operate.

Marietta Marie Wimer Brake
Marietta Marie Wimer Brake, 96, a resident Serenity Care Home in Buckhannon, passed away Aug. 12, 2014.
She was born Dec. 15, 1917, in Frenchton, the daughter of Lamon and Nellie Crawford Wimer of Frenchton.
She married Frank Edgar Brake in 1936 and was the mother of Gladys Louise Brake Olds Denning, both deceased.
Marie is survived by three sisters, Luella Hurd of Akron, Ohio, Iris Mae Swecker and husband, Bill, of Buckhannon and Jean Samples of Mansfield, Ohio.
She was preceded in death by two brothers, Willard Wimer and Robert Wimer; and by three sisters, Grace Crites, Rosalie Alderman and Ruth Mollahan.
She is also survived by her two grandsons, Daniel Ray Olds Jr. and his wife, Tracy Freeman Olds, of The Woodlands, Texas, and Bradley Arthur Denning of Metter, Ga.; by her two great-grandchildren, Tasha Marie Olds Proske and husband, Curtis A. Proske, of The Woodlands, Texas, and Kendyl Lane Olds Beaird and husband, James D. Beaird, of Spring, Texas;
by her great-great-grandchildren, Bella Rayne Proske and Scarlett Chase Proske of The Woodlands, Texas.
Marie retired from Saga Dining Services as a cook for West Virginia Wesleyan College. She was a member of the Teter Community Educational Outreach Society. She will be missed by her many good friends in her "Club." She was an avid gardener, and her previous home at 5 Monongalia Street has been in a local newspaper a number of times for the beautiful yard that she and Frank lovingly maintained. She was exceptionally proud that she was able to maintain her home and lived there until her 92nd year when an illness and poor eyesight required her move to Serenity Care Home.
Friends will be received Friday, Aug. 15, from 4-8 p.m. at Poling-St. Clair Funeral Home. A funeral service will be conducted at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home with the Rev. Nancy Killingsworth officiating. Burial will follow in Rock Cave Cemetery in Rock Cave.
