By Shiloh Woolman, Contributing writer
The process of aging has taken Read Harris from a college football championship to a yoga fanatic in 30 years.
Harris was on the Wittenberg University Division III championship team when the Tigers defeated Ithaca in 1975. He ran track for Wittenburg, too, following a high school athletic career. After school, Harris joined the Army.
It doesn't sound like a resume that leads to this:
"I also do Bikram yoga. The room is 105-110 degrees. You feel totally cleansed. You sweat like there's no tomorrow," Harris said.
As Harris hit 50, he had to find better ways to work out than "running 'til your knees fall off," he says. An orthopedic surgeon told Harris all of that running had done wonders for his heart and lungs, but was doing no favors for his joints.
His were aching, and then he had a collision in a swimming pool that injured his shoulder and sent him looking for new workouts.
"I find that the routines I go through at 50 aren't the same as at 20 because it isn't always joint-friendly," Harris said. "I decided I needed to change my exercise habits to age well. I hooked up with a personal trainer, told her I wanted to be lean, strong and develop an exercise routine I can grow old with."
It's a position many baby boomers find themselves in. They're used to doing whatever they want, and often excelling. But age slows the body, and now they're looking for alternatives.
You Can Still Do It
Some boomers may feel that their marathon or tennis championship days are over, but that isn't necessarily the case.
"I think people have in their minds (when they) hit 33 or 35 or 50 or whatever the magic number is, 'I can't do it.' That's not true," said fitness trainer Rick Rick III, of Premier at Sawmill Athletic Club in Columbus, Ohio. "The body is an incredibly adaptive unit. The human body can adapt to almost anything you put it through as long as you don't overstress it. Progression is the key."
Rick guides clients through a progressive workout based on their goals. Whether it's keeping up with the grandchildren, taking an adventure vacation or improving a golf game, the first step is to define success and then map a plan to get there.
"Have a goal for each workout. Rather than just, 'I'm exercising.' Don't stagnate. After four to six weeks, it's time for something new," Rick said.
Arleen Cauchi agrees. She created a set of workouts for gyms called Boomer Fitness that uses progressive workouts.
"What happens -- especially for baby boomers -- they find something that works for them and have a routine and that's all they do over and over," Cauchi said. "They see improvements for six months and then don't see improvements anymore."
Cauchi, building on her own boomer experience and working with a team of doctors and trainers, has regimented programs that promise to improve golf, tennis and skiing skills. Her most popular program is general fitness and fat reduction.
"A lot of people at menopause have found it's harder and harder to keep the weight off and they're trying to understand a better way," Cauchi said.
Rick said the best approach is just to try something -- anything -- you think you'll like and stick with.
"You can ease into these things. The workout doesn't need to be an hour long -- it doesn't even have to be a half-hour long. You can work up," he said.
Protecting The Joints
Many Boomers grew up exercising. They came of age in the running boom. But for some, arthritis may be setting in. Cauchi and Rick recommend supervised workouts for those just starting a routine or for those, like Harris, who are retooling their activities. That way, you learn the proper way to lift and bend without hurting yourself.
Don't think you like exercise? After all, if you did you'd be doing it by this age. University of Nebraska-Lincoln extension educator and registered dietitian Carol Schwartz suggests changing your attitude, then adding a reward.
"Increase your enthusiasm for physical activity by changing how you think about it. Think of it as an indulgence for your body. Give yourself permission to indulge in a new and exciting activity; then reward yourself with something special like a hot stone massage," Schwartz said.

What is caviar?
Specifically, caviar is the roe of the sturgeon fish and only the sturgeon. Though some sellers mislabel items, such as calling salmon roe Salmon Caviar, only sturgeon roe is technically caviar.
How long will caviar stay fresh?
Petrossian caviar is always packed to order. Fresh caviar should be refrigerated until served, stored preferably in the coolest part of your refrigerator. Unopened, its quality is maintained for four weeks. Once opened, caviar should be consumed on that occasion.
What is a typical portion size of caviar?
The ideal serving is fifty grams per person. You can split that 50 gram tin between two people for an intimate tasting. 125 grams is ideal for two people, while four people could share 125 grams for a small tasting.
What is the difference between the grades?
Most Petrossian caviar comes in three grades - Classic, Royal, and Tsar Imperial. Difference in taste between the three grades is distinguishable only to the most established caviar palate. The biggest difference between the grades is the size and color of the caviar bead - the more prestigious Tsar Imperial has a large, bold pearl, while the Royal and Classic grades typically have slightly smaller pearls with a darker shade.
How should I serve caviar?
A special presentoir designed by Petrossian showcases our caviar with a truly elegant presentation. So as not to break the eggs, caviar should be spooned carefully onto lightly toasted bread or directly in the mouth with Petrossian spoons - not metal, which can alter the taste. Serve fresh, premium quality Petrossian caviar in its original perfection.
How much does shipping cost?
For perishable items, such as caviar and smoked salmon, we require overnight shipping, with a flat rate of $35 to the lower 48 states. There is a $15 surcharge for shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. For all our information about shipping and returns, visit our shipping FAQ.

By attorney Brian Albert, Special to THELAW.TV
Hiring a lawyer may be one of the most important decisions your business makes. The skill and attentiveness of your lawyer will affect everything from the strength of your company's contracts to how well you'll be able to defend your company from employee claims.
"If you hire the wrong lawyer for your business, there are so many horrible things that can happen," said West Palm Beach, Fla., business lawyer and mediator Jonathan Gilbert. "It's like losing the game before you even start. You should never let that happen."
With that in mind, here are eight things to consider when hiring a business lawyer:
- Experience. Experience matters with business law. Like with almost anything, lawyers improve with repetition. A lawyer who has written hundreds of contracts will likely write a more solid contract than a lawyer who is drafting a contract for their first time.
- Relevance. Make sure the lawyer actually practices business law and that it's a substantial part of her practice. You probably want to avoid hiring a jack-of-all-trades for your business or using your divorce lawyer to review your contract "just this one time."
- Results. Ask the lawyer about their past results. In most states, lawyers can't advertise results. But they can discuss past performance if you ask. With business law, as much as with anything else, a lawyer's past performance is relevant to their future success.
- References. Ask the lawyer for references. No matter how much the lawyer toots their own horn, it's even better when someone else toots their horn for them. Try to get references from people you actually know and who work in your line of business.
- Communication. There's nothing more important than being able to communicate effectively with your lawyer. You need to be able to speak openly about your business. And you must be able to reach your lawyer -- by phone, email, etc. -- when you need to.
- Fees. Make sure you'll be able to pay for all of the legal services you need. Legal fees vary widely, with some business lawyers charging north of $1,000 per hour. If that's too steep for you, find someone more affordable, although too cheap should raise red flags.
- Personality. You must feel comfortable talking with your lawyer. Your personalities can't clash. When you meet a business lawyer for the first time, take the conversation beyond the legal topic at hand. See how well you get along. If it's not a good fit, move on.
- Research. Do your homework on your business lawyer before signing the engagement letter. Look up the lawyer's Avvo rating, see if they're listed on SuperLawyers, and make sure they don't have any disciplinary history with their state bar association.
"One of the most important things you need in a business lawyer is alignment with your level of risk aversion," said Josh King, general counsel and vice president of business development at lawyer rating website Avvo. "Attorneys are trained issue spotters, but every businessperson knows that all issues aren't created equal. Some legal risks matter, and some don't. A good lawyer for your business will focus their energies on avoiding the risks that matter, and help power you toward the opportunities that lie on the other side of many more minor legal risks."
Once you've considered these tips and are ready to start meeting prospective lawyers for your business, make sure you shop around, ask lots of questions, and, just in case, know how to fire your lawyer if things don't work out the way you expected.

Man calls 911 for weed, Kool-Aid
Jarvis Sutton arrested after dialing operators 80 times
Published On: May 01 2013 10:24:35 AM CDT Updated On: May 01 2013 02:14:44 PM CDT
All Jarvis Sutton wanted was Kool-Aid, some burgers and a little weed. But he called the wrong folks to get them.
According to police, the 34-year-old St. Petersburg, Fla., man called 911 about 80 times on Sunday requesting the items, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
Sutton admitted to making the calls.
And apparently, he was still pretty hungry.
On the way to the police station, he started chewing on the foam attached to the metal caging in the back of a police cruiser, according to The Associated Press.
Sutton faces a charge of misusing the 911 system, and remained in the Pinellas County jail Wednesday.

Court: Tax on Vt. Yankee might be OK
NEW YORK A federal appeals court in Manhattan said Tuesday that the legality of a tax on Vermonts only nuclear plant is best left up to a state court. But it rejected some of the plant operators arguments against the tax anyway.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a case stemming from a tax affecting the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant. The plant, which began operating in 1972, is run by the New Orleans-based Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc.
The company has argued that the electricity tax is unconstitutional and not really a tax but was imposed instead as a punitive fine or regulatory fee in May 2012. Two months earlier, Entergy had stopped making regular payments into designated state funds after Vermont refused to extend regulatory approval for the plants continued operation past the expiration of its license.
A three-judge appeals panel said it would leave to the Vermont courts whether collecting the money is constitutional, but it found that the money is definitely a tax.
In an opinion written by Circuit Judge Gerard E. Lynch, the appeals court said the nature of the entity imposing the charge the state Legislature cuts strongly in favor of classifying the generating tax as a tax.
It said the Legislatures role and the fact that the tax is collected by the states Department of Taxes and deposited into the states treasury rather than a special fund separates it from many tolls, user fees, special assessments and other similar measures.
The appeals panel noted that many revenue measures that are indisputably taxes fall on a limited portion of the population. It cited casino revenue taxes as an example.
Graduated income taxes, or, as in this case, taxes imposed only on entities of a particular size, will often fall only on a limited population, but are nevertheless clearly taxes, the 2nd Circuit said.
The appeals panel also found unavailing the argument that the tax is not a tax because its enactment was the product of local hostility toward the plant. It said sin taxes levied on conduct or products the state seeks to discourage and taxes imposed on industries believed to impose unusual costs on the state or its residents are common, and are unquestionably taxes.
Entergy attorney Charles Alan Rothfeld declined to comment.
Lawrence Robbins, an attorney who represented the state, said Vermont was gratified that the appeals court agreed Vermont Yankee can get a plain, speedy and efficient remedy if it brings the issue to the state court.
The appeals court has yet to rule on a challenge to the nuclear plants right to operate.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Brian Scott
No. 2 Fast Fixin' Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's Fast Fixin' Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway ... This weekend the Nationwide Series takes over Sunday afternoon racing as the series travels to the home of Jake and Elwood Blues and Chicagoland Speedway for their second standalone event of 2013. Brian Scott and the No. 2 Fast Fixin' crew will bring chassis No.117 to the 1.5 D-shaped oval. This chassis was most recently used at Michigan International Speedway where Scott started third and finished 10th. This Richard Childress Racing-prepared machine also appeared this season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Scott started third and finished ninth, and Charlotte Motor Speedway where he started fourth and brought home a 15th-place result. This chassis was run five times in 2012 with driver Elliott Sadler earning one pole award (Charlotte Motor Speedway), two top-five and three top-10 finishes.
Fast Chi-town History ... The RCR driver has five starts to his credit at Chicagoland Speedway. Considered one of his best tracks on the Nationwide Series circuit, Scott has one pole award (Sept. 2011), two top-five, three top-10 finishes, along with five-laps led. His best finishes of third came in both the 2010 and 2011 events.
Racing for Dash 4 Cash ... This Sunday, Scott will not only vie for the chance to drive to Victory Lane, he'll be racing for a $100,000 bonus as part of Nationwide Insurance's Dash 4 Cash program. With his fourth-place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Scott along with teammate Austin Dillon, Michael Annett and Brian Vickers will duke it out to take home the bonus from Nationwide Insurance.
Father-in-Law and Spotter ... With Scott's regular spotter, Derek Kneeland, competing in the 40th Annual Oxford 250 Nat'l Super Late Model race this weekend in Maine, the Idaho native plans to utilize the services of his future father-in-law, Bob Tracey, for spotting duties at Chicagoland Speedway. Tracey, a longtime spotter and motorsports executive, is a former spotter for Dale Earnhardt Inc. and Penske Racing, earning victories with Rusty Wallace. Additionally, Tracey served as gasman for Wallace and was part of Martin Truex Jr.'s Sprint Cup Series Pit Crew Challenge winning team in 2007.

Sunday afternoon, Scott will participate in a fan question-and-answer session on the infield stage at Noon CT.
What makes Chicagoland Speedway different than other mile-and-half tracks the series visits? "Chicagoland (Speedway) is fast like almost every mile-and-half track we run, but the surface, banking and transitions are a little rough in turns three and four, making Chicago unique. Statistically, it's my best mile-and-half track, we've always had strong runs there and I'm going back with the defending race winning team. I'm looking forward to it, I really like it."
How important is this weekend's race at Chicagoland Speedway since it's a Nationwide Series standalone event? "All the races we're going to right now are important, especially with the Dash 4 Cash program in progress. It's a lot of money on the line. It's an opportunity for normal Nationwide (Series) regulars to excel and to get to Victory Lane when there's less (NASCAR Sprint) Cup guys in the field. We're looking forward to it. I always circle Chicagoland (Speedway) on the calendar as a track I go to regardless of who's in the field, I expect to run up front and contend for the win."
Austin Dillon
No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's AdvoCare Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway ... Austin Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 102 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Nationwide Series stable. Dillon recently drove this Chevrolet Camaro to a sixth-place finish after earning the pole award at Kentucky Speedway in June 2013.

He also raced this Chevrolet to a fifth-place finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway in November, a sixth-place finish at Chicagoland Speedway in July, a sixth-place finish at Dover International Speedway in June, a fifth-place finish at Darlington Raceway in May, a fifth-place finish at Texas Motor Speedway in April and a seventh-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March, all in 2012.
Dillon at Chicagoland Speedway ...

Winner, Winner ... Dillon earned a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win at Chicagoland Speedway in September 2011. After beating the field off of pit road following a caution period 13 laps shy of the race's finish, he crossed the finish line in the No. 3 Chevrolet nearly five seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick. At the time, Dillon described the win as one of the "biggest of his career" because he won against a field stacked with NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regulars. Dillon also competed in the Camping World Truck Series race at Chicagoland Speedway in August 2010, finishing ninth.
The Season So Far ...

What makes Chicagoland Speedway unique compared to some of these other mile-and-a-half ovals? "Chicagoland Speedway has a lot of characteristics that make it similar to Kentucky Speedway and Iowa Speedway, actually, in that it is a rough track and getting rougher. I love these rough tracks. Chicagoland Speedway was a good track for us last year. We led a lot of laps at that place and I feel like going back there we have a pretty good chance. It's one of my favorite cities to go. I always enjoy Chicago."
What makes you so good at Chicagoland Speedway? "We won a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race there, and then after that we made sure that when we go there we have a game plan. Our game plan usually is to make sure our balance is right. If we can keep our balance together and go into the track and have a plan we can usually have a productive day."
Dakoda Armstrong
No. 21 WinField Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's WinField Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway ... Dakoda Armstrong will pilot chassis No. 118 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Nationwide Series stable Sunday afternoon at Chicagoland Speedway. This RCR-prepared machine was last utilized by Armstrong and the No. 21 team at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May.
Welcome Back to the Driver's Seat ... Armstrong returns to the RCR Nationwide Series program this weekend for his third of five scheduled appearances in the 2013 season. The 300-mile event is the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series regular's fourth Nationwide Series start and third for RCR. Armstrong is also scheduled to drive the No. 21 RCR Chevrolet at Kentucky Speedway in September and Kansas Speedway in October.
Nationwide Rookie in the Windy City ... Saturday's STP 300 marks Armstrong's first Nationwide Series appearance at Chicagoland Speedway and his fourth-career Nationwide Series start. The Indiana native has two Camping World Truck Series starts to his credit at the 1.5-mile facility and holds an average starting position of 23rd coupled with an average finishing position of 18th.

Meet the Driver ... Chicagoland Speedway season ticket holders can meet Armstrong and other Nationwide Series drivers during a NASCAR autograph session on Friday, July 20 from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Central Time in Champions Park.
Race Rewind: Charlotte Motor Speedway ... Making his second Nationwide Series start with RCR, Armstrong looked to be in position to earn his second top-15 finish of the 2013 season before a late-race incident took him out of contention, forcing him to settle for a 31st-place result at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
What are your thoughts on competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Chicagoland Speedway? "Chicagoland Speedway has been one of the toughest tracks for me to get a hold of for some reason. The bumps and characteristics of the track have really changed over the years, and you really have to have a good handling car right off the bat or you'll lose a lot of ground. I haven't had the best luck there in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, but I'm really optimistic about running there in the Nationwide Series with our WinField Camaro. We had a good showing in the ARCA car I ran there a few years ago, and I think this car will be a lot like that. The last two races I've run with the RCR team have been great, and we've shown a lot of speed. We just need to put together a solid finish to show for all of our hard work."
Matt Crafton
No. 33 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's Rheem/Menards Car... Matt Crafton will pilot chassis No. 112 at Chicagoland Speedway. This No. 33 was previously run by Crafton at Kentucky Speedway in June, where he drove to a third-place finish. Ty Dillon also piloted this car this season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (finished 11th), Darlington Raceway (finished 13th) and Dover International Speedway (finished 23rd).
Chicagoland Stats... Crafton is scheduled to turn his first laps at Chicagoland Speedway in a NASCAR Nationwide Series entry this weekend. A veteran in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the California native has made four truck starts at the Joliet, Ill., track. Crafton's best start of first came in 2009 and best finish of fourth came in 2012. He has completed 603 of 604 laps attempted (99.8 percent), leading 23 of them.
Gotta Have a Rheem ... Rheem Manufacturing Company (www.rheem.com) is privately held with headquarters in Atlanta and U.S. operations in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas. In its 88th year of operation, the company manufactures a full-line of eco-friendly, technologically advanced residential and commercial heating and cooling systems; tank, tankless, solar and hybrid heat pump water heaters; whole-home standby generators, controls, swimming pool and spa heaters; indoor air-purification products; and commercial boilers throughout North America and world markets. The company's premium brands, including Rheem, Raypak, Ruud and Richmond have been recognized with countless industry and consumer awards for reliability, innovative design and high quality. Rheem is the official heating, cooling and water heating supplier to Richard Childress Racing, and is a primary sponsor of RCR's No. 29 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and RCR's No. 33 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Two of Three ... This weekend will mark Crafton's second of three scheduled races in the No. 33 Rheem/Menards machine this season. In his Nationwide Series debut at Kentucky Speedway in June, Crafton started eighth and finished third in the rain-shortened event. The California native is also scheduled to run the September Nationwide Series event at Kentucky Speedway.
Race Rewind ... Crafton last turned laps at Chicagoland Speedway in a Camping World Truck in 2012, where he started ninth and finished fourth, his career-best finish at the 1.5-mile track.
What are your thoughts about racing the Rheem/Menards car at Chicagoland Speedway? "I'm really excited to get back behind the wheel of the Rheem/Menards car at Chicagoland Speedway. We had a really good run at Kentucky (Speedway) finishing third, but I'm hoping for better results this weekend. I'd really like to get a win for Menards, Rheem and RCR. I can't thank them enough for believing in me and giving me this opportunity to race in a competitive NASCAR Nationwide Series car. I really enjoy going to Chicagoland Speedway. We've run well there in The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, and I'm confident Ernie Cope (crew chief) and the team will give me a great No. 33 machine this weekend. It's a track that has a lot of racing grooves, so as a driver I can move around to find a line that works best for the car. It makes for a more exciting race when there are multiple grooves for passing."

Baby teeth, also called primary teeth, are typically off-white or ivory. Baby teeth can become discolored for many reasons, including:
- Inadequate brushing. If baby teeth aren't brushed properly, bacteria (plaque) might form on the teeth -- which can lead to tooth discoloration.
- Medication use. Infant medications containing iron, such as supplemental vitamins, might cause dark stains on baby teeth. Taking the antibiotic tetracycline during pregnancy can cause a child to have discolored baby teeth, too.
- Tooth or gum injury. Trauma to baby teeth or gums might cause discoloration, often giving baby teeth a pink or gray tint.
- Weak enamel. A genetic problem with enamel formation might lead to discolored baby teeth.
- Excessive fluoride. Regularly mixing powdered or liquid concentrate infant formula with fluoridated water might increase your child's risk of developing faint white markings or streaks on the teeth — a sign of mild enamel fluorosis.
- Newborn jaundice. A baby who develops jaundice after birth might have baby teeth with a green tint.
- Serious illness. A widespread infection during infancy might result in discolored baby teeth. Conditions such as newborn hepatitis and some types of heart disease can have the same effect.
If the discoloration is caused by poor dental hygiene, more thorough brushing -- using water and a small, soft-bristled toothbrush or the fingertip variety designed for infants -- might help.
To keep your child's mouth healthy, avoid filling your child's bottle with liquids such as sugar water, juice or soft drinks and don't put him or her to bed with a bottle. Also, don't share eating utensils with your child. This can spread cavity-causing bacteria. If your child uses a pacifier, never dip it in honey or sugar.
Discuss your concerns about your child's baby teeth with his or her doctor. He or she might refer you to a pediatric dentist. After addressing any underlying issues, the dentist might recommend bleaching the discolored teeth or simply watching the teeth for signs of other problems.

Out of the Shadows
Woohoo! Cards win! The team that most thought shouldn't be in the playoffs at all now takes a commanding lead in this division series. And who would have predicted Weaver would lead the Cards in a shut-out victory? He looked awesome, and the bullpen came through, too. I wasn't sure about Tony's choice to take Johnson out when he was dominating in the 8th, but it worked out. Wainwright was steller in the 9th. Not a ton of offense but Pujols and Edmonds came through when we needed them.
One note of annoyance: could Chris Berman be any more biased toward San Diego? It's been irritating watching him call these games as his voice raises several octaves anytime it looks like the Padres might score. I checked his bio and it says he lives in CT so not sure why he's behind the Padres.
Here's hoping Sup can finish things off on Saturday, and, if not, we know we've got Carp ready to go on Sunday. I really hope I don't get to use my Game 5 tickets.

I hate Chris Berman!
By the way, how many times did he say that the Cardinals and Padres played yesterday, not Tuesday?
Yeah, Berman seems to be a Cardinal hater, but it always seems like that on ESPN and sometimes Fox -especially from McCarver (go figure, right?).
As much as Costas irritates me, at least he is a Cardinals fan! Too bad he is with NBC.
St. Louis is looking great, and as I always say, whatever happened during the season is meaningless in the playoffs (with exception to homefield advantage).
We're up here in P-town (that's Peoria, IL if you don't know) rooting for the Redbirds, and loving every minute of it!
Nice blog Cardinal Girl.
Brent Roos
I'll drink to that – you not getting to use Game 5 tickets, and me not getting to use Game 4! I am going tomorrow though – with 2 of my brothers. Estimated time of Departure 6:00 central tonight.
and I agree with you about Wainwright. Stellar!
I couldn't resist:
Stellar Stellar Ninth
Wainwright kept them in the Dark
High Fives all around!

A Samurai sword-wielding Mormon bishop was one of several neighbors who came to the aid of a woman being attacked in Utah.
Kent Hendrix, who is also a black belt in karate, told Salt Lake City TV station KSTU he didn't give it a second thought when his son pounded on his door Tuesday morning, telling him someone was being mugged outside their house.
"I threw my clothes on, grabbed my sword and out I came," Hendrix said.
He drew the 29-inch sword on the man and told him to get on the ground.
The man, identified by police as 37-year-old Grant Eggersten, took off barefoot down the street with Hendrix and the other neighbors in pursuit, The Associated Press reported.
Eggersten sped off in a car, but not before Hendrix grabbed his lip balm and memorized his license plate number.
"I yelled at him, 'I've got your DNA and I've got your license plate: You are so done,'" Hendrix told the AP.
Eggersten later surrendered to police and was booked on charges of robbery, attempted burglary, trespassing and violation of a stalking injunction.
Hendrix said it's the first time in his 30 years of practicing martial arts that he used the sword, which he keeps by his bed.
"Some people have bats they go to," he told the AP. "I have my sword."

'Top Gun' still makes star's emotions soar
Tom Skerritt celebrates film's release on Blu-ray 3D
Acclaimed actor Tom Skerritt said he had no idea when he was making "Top Gun" in 1986 that the action adventure film would go on to become a classic -- but he certainly views it that way now.
"A classic to me is something you can view 20 or 30 years later and still have that same initial response to it," Skerritt told me in a recent interview. "Putting all of 'Top Gun' together, from the director to the script to the actors, it had everything. I know after 20 or 30 years, I still have that same response to it."
New on Blu-ray 3D on Tuesday (Paramount Home Entertainment), "Top Gun" stars Tom Cruise as a Maverick, a passionate, if not careless Naval pilot competing against colleagues in the elite Top Gun flight program. But Maverick's life becomes complicated when he becomes romantically involved with civilian flight instructor Charlie (Kelly McGillis), and a tragedy involving a friend and colleague which affects his ability to fly.
Skerritt stars as Viper, the chief instructor in the Top Gun program and former fighter pilot who tries to instill confidence back in Maverick after the tragedy.
The re-release of "Top Gun" is bittersweet for Skerritt and his fellow cast and crewmembers, since it comes in the aftermath of the death of director Tony Scott. The heralded filmmaker died Aug. 19, 2012, of an apparent suicide at age 68.
"I think we've lost a very significant artist," Skerritt said. "There aren't too many like him or his brother, Ridley, for that matter, who bring such magic to filmmaking -- and that's the way Tony did it on 'Top Gun.' Why he would do what he did so spontaneously is still a question mark."
Skerritt said by the film being available in the 3D format, it finally will be seen the way Scott originally intended.
"I think the re-release of the film pays wonderful homage to Tony, who painted a wonderful picture," Skerritt said. "There were always things going on in the background, and the richness of 3D and Blu-ray will give justice to what he did."
Skerritt, who first worked with Ridley Scott on the 1979 classic "Alien" before collaborating with Tony Scott on "Top Gun," is one of the few actors who can proudly claim to have worked under the direction of both brothers.
"Ridley and Tony were both graphic artists and painters," Skerritt observed. "They both had a vision that they could put on a canvas that was rich, and full of colors and action that they could put on film."
"Top Gun" was also special for Skerritt in that he had the opportunity of working with an actor like Cruise, whose career was about to be catapulted into superstardom because of the new, high-flying film.
Perhaps what impressed Skerritt the most about Cruise is the way the actor handled the success in such a defining moment in his career.
"I had a sense that Tom and other actors on the film were going to be pretty damn successful in the long run. There was no doubt about it," Skerritt said. "Not only was he pretty focused on the work, he was able to find the right people to take care of him -- the management, the attorneys, whatever it was, it was a big deal. When you put all of that together, you're going to do very well."

The Angels May Still Have Problems, But A Mendoza Line Hittin' Catcher Ain't One…
…Or is it? Oh, I don't mean are the Angels still keeping Jeff Mathis. Jerry Dipoto made his first personnel move as the Angels manager on Wednesday, trading rookie pitcher Tyler Chatwood to the Rockies for catcher Chris Iannetta and, by all accounts, one of his next moves will be to non-tender Jeff Mathis and I am beyond okay with this. I think Mathis is a good guy and the pitchers love him. And he is rather good at take down plays at the plate. But there are also all of the mental errors in throw down situations and, ugh, that batting average. Yes, Mathis has a pretty swing to be sure but, after this many seasons, I've stopped waiting for the pretty swing to become a productive swing and just reflexively cringe whenever the guy steps into the batter's box.
Suffice to say, I'm not going to miss Mathis much and would be thrilled to get an actual bat in the catcher's position. And, initially, I was quite seduced by Iannetta's lifetime .238 average and typical double digit season homeruns numbers…okay, so they're just barely double digit and .238 isn't that great a batting average for anyone who isn't a catcher but compared to the lifetime .197 average and "he holds the record for most home runs…hit on opening day…on his birthday" stats that I'm used to? Please, that there is a hitting dynamo.
…But then I slowed down my ridiculous happy dance and began to think, hmmm. Rockies player. Batting in the land where balls hit with a stick fly freely into the upper deck and pitchers fear to tread. What are this guy's road splits like? Ugly, as it turns out. Looking up to Mathis' .197 most seasons, in fact. And the happy dance is slowing down. Sllloooooooowing down. And we're stopping now. Well, yuck. And by yuck I really mean something that rhymes with yuck and has more of a Van Halen album title-ish vibe to it, but this is a family blog, or something like that.
I'm not crying foul on this trade yet. Maybe I've just been scarred by Vernon Wells' last season and the home/away splits that preceded it. Maybe Iannetta's splits have more to do with really feeling comfortable with the home crowd, the home clubhouse, home cooking, home anything but the Earth's yellow sun like properties that Coors Field has on the would-be Superman bats of hitters ranging anywhere from mediocre to awesome. Maybe?? Or, maybe my pessimistic thoughts are more akin to realistic thoughts in this case.
In an interview today on Clubhouse Confidential Jerry Dipoto was asked about this very thing and chose the more optimistic interpretation of the splits. On the one hand, of course he would, he just made the deal! On the other hand, he did work for the Rockies and has some insight into the players. Then again, when asked what primary characteristic sold him on Ianetta, Dipoto said, He walks. A lot. Okay. So, what then? Iannetta is the Italian demi-god of walks?
Anyway, National League folks, or anyone else who knows a lot more about this player than I, lay it on me. What do you think of this acquisition?
And as for the trading away Tyler Chatwood, I don't mind it terribly. I thought he was good, poised beyond his tender years, and showed promise as a bottom half of the rotation starter. I was less than thrilled with his strikeout to walk ratio and with how early and how well and thoroughly he sputtered out during his rookie season. I know that it will take another season to determine if that's indicative of a long term flaw or just rookie stretching out and growing pains, but I still don't view trading him as a bad thing, not that I would have minded keeping him either. Of course, if the Rockies turn around and trade him to the Rangers tomorrow and Chatty proceeds to take revenge on the team who scorned him by having a career year and sitting our asses down one by one all season long, I may revise my opinion somewhat.
Scarred, who? Me?😉
16 Comments
Hey! I've been watching the trades on that lovely twitter machine and I'm happy about both trade aways. I too cringed with Mathis at the plate and toward the end of the season, I cringed with Chatty on the mound. He had so much potential but he gave me too many gray hairs (at 18) for me to count.
I'm just curious what you think of CJ Wilson potentially coming to Anaheim. I'm excited. But I've heard rumors of the Angels pursuing Pujols but I'm not sure I like it. First base is gonna be tricky enough with Morales coming back as it is. Unless Pujols has another position that I didn't know about. (Which is totally possible)
I guess I spoke too soon! The Angels are officially despised by all St Louis. I'm not too happy about it. Because we might lose Trumbo and that would break my heart.

The Hunter College Dance Program offers opportunities to pursue a B.A. degree in Dance and classes for the Arnhold M.A. degrees in Dance Education. Our modern dance based curriculum provides students with a vital foundation towards graduate study or professional careers in performance, choreography, teaching, arts administration, and production. Our alumni have danced for Bill T. Jones on Broadway, Pilobolus, Liz Lerman, David Dorfman, Vicky Shick, Garth Fagan, and many independent choreographers. Students work with faculty recognized in the field as performers, creators, scholars, teachers and advocates. In addition to choreographic works by visiting Harkness Guest Choreographers each semester, our students perform in a Lecture/Demonstration community outreach performance program, and can pursue internships at various recognized venues. From a campus in the heart of New York City, the dance major or dance minor student is offered many opportunities to engage with professional dance companies, choreographers, and critics who live and work in New York. The cultural diversity of the student population, the active, professional faculty and the wide range of program opportunities qualify the Hunter College Dance Program as the "hidden jewel" of New York City.
Mission & Philosophy of the Hunter College Dance Program
The mission of the undergraduate dance program is to provide a rigorous, challenging, but non-competitive, humanistic dance education, housed in a liberal arts environment. Curiosity and passion are the underpinnings of both theory and practice and we therefore seek to empower the students to trust their creative instincts and build on them as they travel through the curriculum. The curriculum informs students of the diverse definition of what it means to be a dancer-as an individual and in the greater community. All courses are designed to support students in becoming strong communicators-articulate movers, speakers and writers. Community outreach, observations, production and performance opportunities enrich the curriculum and serve as research for students and faculty alike.We believe that art making is supported by the integration of all learning experiences as well as a trust in process. Our ultimate goal is to produce "artists," individuals who practice their artistry regardless of the career paths they choose, individuals who are creative problem solvers and vital community members.
Dance, a live artistic practice, is essential to a humanistic, liberal arts education.
- Dance integrates many aspects of human experience, including perception, imagination, action, expression, and relationship to others. The Hunter dance curriculum builds students' capacities to observe, reflect, and better understand their place in the world.
A diverse community is made up of unique individuals.
- While encouraging cooperative effort and collaboration, the Hunter College Dance Program recognizes the uniqueness of each individual and strives to support the healthy development of every voice. In so doing, we invite and celebrate different points of view as we cultivate the art of discussion.
Artistry is not limited by field of endeavor.
- Through artistic pursuit, students build rich inner lives and deepen their capacities to observe and think critically. The curriculum's focus on dance artistry—including choreographing, dancing, performing, producing, writing, and exploring—reflects our belief that the development of artistry helps students to succeed on any career path and instills the courage to persist.
Lifelong learning requires that individuals find and pursue meaningful challenges for themselves.
- Intrinsic motivation feeds the desire to continue learning and is key to building strong values and work habits. Both faculty and students in the program are expected to ask challenging questions of themselves and others and to contribute to the larger NYC and Hunter communities in productive and enduring ways.

Trying to perfect parallel parking is already a struggle for many people wishing to secure a driver's license. For German stunt driver Ronny Wechselberger, parallel parking is trouble-free, especially when he's maneuvering a car into the tightest spaces.
Wechselberger regained the Guinness World title for the tightest parallel parking job, when he managed to slide his way into two vehicles with only 5.51 inches of space to spare. His new record bested China's Han Yue, who holds a 5.91-inch benchmark.
In the video, Wechselberger drifted and stuffed his 3.54-meter black Volkswagen Up into a thin 3.68-meter narrow gap, with only 13.8-centimeter leftover space.
The skilled wheelsman previously held the record with 10.2 inches of space in 2011 until Han Yue beat his record last May. Wechselberger's video has been watched more than 165,000 times since it was posted on YouTube.

Vt police: Governor appears tolerant of marijuanaThe Associated Press | March 15,2014MONTPELIER Vermont police organizations said Friday they oppose increasing the number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the state or legalizing the drug and that Gov. Peter Shumlins administration appears tolerant of marijuana.
While commending Shumlins efforts to address the opiate addiction problem in Vermont, the Vermont Association of Chiefs of Police, Vermont Sheriffs Association and the Vermont Police Association said in a news release that they are united against efforts for marijuana legalization.
The Vermont Legislature passed a law in 2011 that allows medical marijuana to be distributed from state-approved dispensaries. Last year, Vermont also removed criminal penalties for the possession of small amounts of marijuana. Criminal penalties were replaced with civil fines for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana or 5 grams of hashish.
The police statement was a response to a letter sent to police by the governor saying hes open to further discussion about marijuana policy in Vermont, said Douglas Johnston, association president.
I think there is much Vermont can learn from Colorado and Washington in this regard, Shumlin wrote. It is too soon to draw any evidence-based conclusions as to the public safety and public health effects of legalization in those states at this time. I assure you that any decision I make on possible legislation regarding the legalization of marijuana in Vermont will be based on careful examination of all the facts, including those related to public safety, public health, and costs.
The police organizations said the chiefs of police previously expressed concerns about the appearance of the administrations tolerance of marijuana and said they feel theyve been largely ignored. They said their main marijuana-related concerns are health risks, highway safety and employment issues.
Johnston said marijuana is a gateway drug to more dangerous substances and that it appears the state is gradually moving toward legalizing it.
We need to take politics out of this and do whats right for the health and safety of Vermonters, he said.
Shumlins press secretary said in a statement that the governor is confident that medical marijuana dispensaries are carefully regulated by the Department of Public Safety and provide relief to those with debilitating illnesses.
As you know, neither Gov. Shumlin nor legislative leaders believe that Vermont should consider legalization of marijuana at this time, preferring to wait to see how that plays out in Colorado and Washington. Public health and safety impacts will be among the aspects Vermont is watching, Susan Allen wrote.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Car buyers must avoid 7 sins to get deal
Be prepared, look at used vehicles to save
One the great episodes of "The Cosby Show" was when Dr. Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby) took his son along when he was buying a new car in order to teach him how to haggle down the price.
In hopes of knocking some of the price off the sticker, Cosby dressed in sweat pants and a ball cap and tried to avoid any talk of what he did for a living, thinking if the car salesman knew he was wealthy he wouldn't get a good price.
But when a loudmouthed patient of his, played by Gilbert Gofffried, spotted him and yelled out "Dr. Huxtable!" the jig was up.
That episode aired over 20 years ago and much has changed in the world of negotiating a good price. Thanks to the Internet, most of the cards are on the table when it comes to prices and options.
Car buying can also become a more emotional experience than rational, according to Dr. Charles Kenny, a psychologist who has worked with many of the major auto companies to help them understand consumer psychology. The reason is that many people feel they are what they drive.
"(Car buying) is more emotional than buying most things, more emotional than buying perfume, a new house, $5,000 stereo equipment and so on," said Kenny.
So, in order to try and help the rational part of your brain sort through the stressful experience of buying a car, here are some common mistakes people make when buying a new or used car from a dealership.
Being unprepared
The Internet is a wealth of information, and any informed shopper should spend some time clicking away before setting foot on a showroom floor.
"The first piece of advice is the Boy Scout motto, 'be prepared,'" said Melanie Webber, of MyRide.com. "And there's no reason why you can't be prepared, because everything you need to know you can find on the Internet."
Before speaking with a salesperson, you can know the average price of the model you want, what options it comes with and what financing options are available to you.
"You know what you can afford. You know what you think your payments should be. You know what your financing options are. You know the car you want," said Webber. "So, you're in a pretty strong, confident position when you go in there. And the dealer will know that you have that information."
Forgetting about leasing
Depending on how many miles you drive, leasing a car may be an option to explore.
"It depends on what your lifestyle is," said Webber. "The payments on a lease tend to be lower, but you don't own the car. But if you are the type of person that always wants to be driving a brand-new vehicle, and perhaps even a higher-end vehicle, and you want lower payments, leasing is an option for you."
But on the flip side, if you go over the allowed miles on your lease agreement, it can be expensive.
"Usually the mileage is limited to 12,000 to 15,000 a year and then you have to pay over that," said Webber. "And there are some vehicles that you can't lease. And it is also dependent on depreciation. If it is prone to depreciation, the payments cover the cost of depreciation."
Missing value of used autos
Cars are a status symbol to a lot of people, and driving that brand new model can elevate it. However, cars that are even just a few years old can knock down the price you are going to pay.
"You may be looking at a new Honda Accord, but you have a hankering for a BMW or an Audi, and you might want to go onto a website and see how much a 2006 BMW goes for, and that may end up being a better deal for you than a new vehicle," said Webber.
Not knowing your financial status
Before going to the dealership, you should know what your credit score is and how that will affect your loan.
Typically, a score of more than 680 can secure you a lower interest rate, but dropping below that will send the rate higher, or make you unqualified for certain loans. Applying for a loan online can also help you avoid the discomfort of discussing your financial status face-to-face with a salesperson.
"It's a much more pleasant and efficient process to submit a request for a certain kind of vehicle, have that dealer call you back or e-mail you or offer a price, or you can ask the dealer for more information," said Webber. "You can say yes or no, and then you can walk into the dealership and do the paperwork."
Getting enticed by low monthly payments
You might be more concerned with the monthly payment than the overall cost. But the low monthly payment can be a Venus fly trap, enticing you into a long contract that will add up over time due to the interest.
"The shorter the period of the loan, the less interest you are going to pay," said Webber. "You can also see some manufacturers that offer zero-percent interest for vehicles that they are anxious to move. But you have to be very careful to understand what the fees are and what you are putting up front."
Buying at wrong time
Because of the annual cycle of new models that are rolled out each year, buying at the wrong time can cost you. Webber said the best time to buy is either in December or from July to October.
"The dealer really wants to make room for those newer vehicles that are going to be coming onto his lots, so he has more of an incentive to move the older models off his lots, and that puts him in a better position to make a good deal," said Webber.
Trading in when you can sell it yourself
Most dealerships also sell used cars and will allow you to trade your car in for a discount on the price of your new car.
However, if you sell the car yourself, you can probably get a better price. It takes a little extra time and energy, but can equal several hundred dollars or more in value.
If you do decide to save yourself the trouble and just trade the car in to the dealer, it is important to know its value.
"If you know that the trade-in value of your vehicle is, you are armed with that knowledge before you walk into the dealership, then you are in a powerful position," said Webber."

A superfan of the 1980s TV show "Knight Rider" has spent three years building an exact replica of the talking car named KITT.
Detroit native Chris Palmer recreated the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am by bidding on parts he found on eBay, according to Digital Spy.
He took screenshots from the show to find out what he would need.
The car comes equipped with a dashboard featuring the same video screens as those requested by David Hasselhoff's character, Michael Knight, and the car's trademark front bumper.
KITT's Michigan vanity license plate reads KNI6HT.
"It was totally worth it. More than worth it," Palmer said in a YouTube video of his creation. "I love this car. Everybody seems to love this car."

One of the men who authorities say walked out of a north Florida prison using forged paperwork will face an Orange County judge on Wednesday morning.
Charles Walker, 34, was serving a life sentence for murder in Franklin County, and now faces a new charge of escape.
Walker and another convicted killer, 34-year-old Joseph Jenkins, arrived at the Orange County Jail on Tuesday, where they are being held in separate maximum security cells.
Raw video: Escaped inmates brought to Orange County Jail
Orange County Chief Judge Belvin Perry has now ordered them returned to the prison system to serve their life sentences.
"There is no need for any court proceedings in this matter at this time," Perry said in his order.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement commissioner Gerald Bailey said investigators are working to find whoever put money in the men's prison canteen funds, and if that cash was used to buy the fake documents and their freedom.
"We are vetting those friends, family and associates to see if there's a connection we can use in this investigation," said Bailey. "I urge those who helped them to come forward before we find you."
Watch: Cellphone video captures take down
Commissioner Bailey also said investigators recovered an iPad and cellphone from the motel room where Walker and Jenkins were captured Saturday in Panama City Beach.
The FDLE and the Attorney General's Office are both offering $10,000 rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever made the forged documents that helped Walker and Jenkins escape.

A German man has turned his rare genetic disorder into a positive, using it to become a world champion arm wrestler.
Matthias Schlitte, nicknamed "Hellboy," was born with a right arm that's far bigger than his left.
"I first discovered I could use my gift when I was three years of age," the 27-year-old told Australia's Yahoo7 Sport. "We had a family oven at home in Germany and I picked up a rather large bucket of coal for the oven and carried it around for my mother, which was probably very uncommon for a three-year-old."
According to the Daily Mail, Schlitte now has a right forearm that measures 18 inches around.
He began competing in arm wrestling in 2004, and now has eight national championships and 14 international titles to his name. He even beat an arm wrestling robot.
"Everyone has a challenge in life," Schlitte said. "I'm not a religious guy or anything but this was a gift from a higher power and this was my calling in life."
