Tri-State Ambulance released their report on their emergency calls during the opening weekend of Oktoberfest, from 12 p.m. Friday through 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Sixty-percent of all City of La Crosse responses from that time period were alcohol-related. Thirty-five-percent of all Tri-State's weekend responses were alcohol-related.
Tri-State says 50-percent of the patients were between 18-to-30-years-old. Normally, it's less than 10-percent.
Gundersen Health System had 26 patients with alcohol-related issues. Gundersen says that's considered the "typical amount" for Oktoberfest weekend. Many of the other patients' complaints related to falls, fights, minor traumas and altered mental status, a Gundersen spokesperson said.
Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse says they did not see an increase in numbers due to Oktoberfest, but they saw more intoxicated patients.
"Intoxicated patients came for various reasons: falls, lacerations and the most concerning were the young people who drank too much and were brought as friends or police were concerned about their ability to care for themselves," said LuAnne Kratt, Mayo Clinic Health System's Patient Care Director of the Emergency and Urgent Care Center.
La Crosse County Jail Sgt. Steve Anderson said the number of people booked was about the same this Oktoberfest weekend compared to last year at this time. This year, 45 people were booked into jail. Last year there were 71 bookings.

Trooper Ramirez from the Corpus Christi Texas Department of Public Safety recently paid a visit to TR Elementary to speak with the children in preparation of summer safety.
Trooper Ramirez covered Bicycle Safety and Stanger Danger, just two of the many programs offered by TDPS to educate the public.
During the bicycle safety Trooper Ramirez covered the following tips;
• Have adequate reflectors
• Make sure seat is adjusted properly to height and angle.
• Have proper air pressure in tires.
• Make sure handle bars are secure and at the proper height.
• Always wear a helmet, even if rollerblading, or skate boarding.
• Never ride bike at night.
For more information on preparing kids for a safe summer see future editions of The Progress.

Not a great world todayJanuary 05,2013
Not such a great world anymore
Talking with a relative the other day, the conversation came up on how a lot of companies do not have any compassion or courteous customer care anymore. Some are downright rude. Everyone is out for the almighty dollar now. Remember when paying on a bill every month didnt get you disconnected, or they would work with you to get it straightened out?
Even going into some area stores around central Vermont you can run into rude workers, unhelpful customer service, and the I am too busy to help you attitude.
And lets not forget the phones you have to call with all of the options to listen to. Then they wonder why you are irritable when you do get someone.
I can certainly see why some people fly off the handle and go in shooting the place up in some situations. They have taken all they can take.
Employers have no loyalties anymore to the employees and just use them for the time they need them and then let them go. They expect more and more from them for less and less pay. There are no benefits to help the workers out anymore. Then they wonder why the help is not loyal? Vicious circle we are in, and it will only get worse.
People used to say, Excuse me, if they cut in front of you. Now it is a push aside and an I am in a hurry here.
Its a no-respect world we live in now. And there is absolutely no common sense. And we are discussing packing guns in schools for our kids safety?
What happens if someone is having a bad day, yells a bit and reaches for their cellphone. Will the teacher think a student is going for a gun?
I do not like where I see our world is headed. And no one can seem to stop it.
God help us all. (Yup, I said the G word.)

CNJ staff photo: Tony Bullocks Matt Acker of Clovis and owner of Daylight Donuts on N. Prince Street clears snow from sidewalk Tuesday morning in front of his store.
Sharna Johnson
Gripped by an arctic cold that hasn't been felt in the area in as much as 20 years, Curry and Roosevelt Counties aren't expected to warm up until the weekend.
A winter storm blew into the area Monday night, dusting Clovis with about an inch of snow and leaving trace amounts in Portales.
Though the possibility of another inch by the end of Wednesday exists, it will be the cold temperatures, not the snow that makes this storm significant, according to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.
The weather service is predicting night-time lows of 1 to 4 below zero in Clovis and Portales, and day-time highs of about 12 through Thursday. But conditions are expected to be even colder with the effect of wind chill.
The last time the area saw temperatures close to those expected through Thursday was in December 1990 when Clovis dipped to 5 below zero and in December 2005 when Portales experienced a low of 4 degrees below zero, according to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.
By Tuesday afternoon, Portales schools were planning a two-hour delay and Clovis schools, Clovis Christian School and Clovis Community College had already canceled classes for Wednesday.
"We want to ensure that our kids are safe," Clovis Municipal Schools' Jelayne Curtis said Tuesday afternoon. "I don't think we anticipate that the roads will get much worse, (but) we are concerned about the extreme overnight temperatures."
Tuesday morning Clovis schools opened on time but Texico, Farwell, Friona and Portales students were delayed 2 hours and Melrose, San Jon, Tucumcari and House canceled classes.
Winds between 15 and 25 are expected to drive the night-time temperatures to 23 degrees below zero because of wind chill calculations, according to meteorologist Amanda Abeyta.
Wind-chill is a method weather experts use to calculate the impact of wind speeds and temperatures to determine how cold conditions are for humans.
"Obviously with the wind chill and everything frostbite can occur very rapidly," Abeyta said. "If you have to be out, just be very careful."
The storm, which is gripping much of the nation with 30 states under some form of winter watch or advisory, is an arctic system only seen every 10 to 20 years, Abeyta said.
"This is a pretty big system with two lows, so it's kind of like a one-two punch," Abeyta said.
"These types of events do occur, just not very often thankfully."
Lighthouse Mission Director Richard Gomez said hats and gloves were distributed to those in need during a Tuesday morning breakfast at the mission and several families without heat had been given blankets and other things to keep warm throughout the day.
The shelter, the only of its kind in a 100-mile radius of Clovis, serves people throughout the region, offering food, clothing and shelter free of charge.
Gomez said the shelter was already full before the storm, predominately by women and children who have been displaced by the housing market.
But Monday night he said he was down to only floor-space after three men who had been living outside came seeking shelter from the cold.
"We've got extra mattresses in case we get more people. We'll never deny anybody a place to sleep, especially in this cold weather," Gomez said. "We've got floor space (and) I've still got my couch at my house."
Gomez said anyone who is without shelter can seek refuge at the mission, and if it's after hours, local law enforcement agencies can help people access resources.
This time of year, especially with the current conditions, Gomez the mission can always use items — socks, gloves, hats, blankets and other things — to help people stay warm.
Eastern New Mexico United Way Director Erinn Burch said with recent warm temperatures, there are many families in the area who have been able to get by without heat by using cook stoves and other alternative heat sources but the cold blast put them in a bad situation.
"It really pushes people to take care of a problem that they've had for a while," she said. "They've been getting by (but now) people reach out because they've got to."
Since Monday, Burch estimated United Way had distributed just shy of 10 heaters through a referral program it oversees.
Frozen pipes are another side effect of extreme cold that had plumber Landon Duffield busy Tuesday.
With around four frozen pipe and multiple furnace service calls already behind him, Duffield said he expected to stay busy over coming days.
"I haven't seen it stay this cold in while," he said. "We will definitely be busy. There will be a lot (of pipes) freezing tonight."
Furnaces working extra hard to meet demand often fail during extreme weather, he said, and exposed pipes freeze, sometimes bursting.
Duffield recommended people run their furnaces non-stop, open cabinets under sinks to expose the pipes to heat, allow sinks to drip and cover outside faucets and exposed pipes where possible to help prevent freezing.
He said those with private wells should place heaters or heat lamps in well houses to just a little heat to take the edge off the cold and prevent freezing.
Overall this year, due to a La Nina pattern, Abeyta said it's been predominately a "timid" winter with dry and unusually warm weather.
By Friday, Abeyta said temperatures will go up into the mid-40's and by the weekend the mid-50's.
Coldest days
• Clovis — 17 below zero, Feb. 1, 1957

The Magic Box...for the discerning magician. If clothes make the man, high-end quality apparatus will help make the magician. The Magic Box. manufactured from Italian Poplar Wood, is actually more like a chest to hold and store your magical treasures. It measures 24" across by 11" wide by 5" deep. One main storage area 9 1/2" by 13" by 5". One accessories area containing a drawer 7" by 7 1/2" by 3 1/4" deep (perfect for holding silks, gimmicks, sponge balls, etc). The pull hole in the drawer is perfect for ditching and retrieving a thumb tip as needed. Under the drawer is an area 7" by 7 1/2" by 1 1/2" deep (perfect for storing double stacks of cards). You can get 8 regulation decks in there with room for a few other odds and ends. I keep my flash paper, lighter and some rope in there as well. In the front of the drawer is and area just right to keep a line up of coins and finger rings at hand for easy retrieval. All of the inside compartments and the inside of the drawer are lined in Wool Felt (not the cheap craft store type). An additional hinged back board comes down to create a very nice staging area for your tricks. (Cups and balls, coins, card, etc). The staging area is also covered in Wool Felt. On the inside of the top lid is a shatter proof mirror for practicing slights. Behind the top of the mirror are three areas that are perfect to keep gaffed cards ready to go. Also there is a slot just the right size for business cards. Once the lid is down, the cards stick out just enough so as to be easily accessed and brought to the table top on the outside of the closed lid. The top of the piece is double covered in Wool Felt as well. It is a great area for card, coin and many other kind of tricks. Really rich and plush. The felt is all dark red inside and out (Burgundy). The bottom of the piece has the same color Wool Felt pad so as to not scratch any table top it may be resting on. All of the fittings and hardware are solid brass and include side handles, hinges, screws with finish washers and a locking lid support. The outside of the piece is decorated by gold leaf graphics of leaves and vines bringing an added element of class. Graphics are done using durable clear vinyl covered foil. Also on the label is a nice color reprint of an old Houdini show card. Not trying capitalize on his name so much as using it to inspire the owner to be the best that they can be. After all, wouldn't you practice a bit harder in the underside mirror knowing that the master was looking on?

With IT departments finding more room in their budgets to tackle much-needed projects, desktop operating system refresh is moving to the top of the list.
After all, OS upgrades enable organizations to rethink and restructure their entire desktop infrastructure into more efficient and productive environments. With the expiration of Microsoft support for Windows XP looming, upgrading to Windows 7 presents an opportunity to create a streamlined environment primed for virtualization, cloud computing and other next-generation technologies.

Blog Hop Take Two…
*Evidently I don't follow directions very well. Although, I am not sure the directions for this blog hop thing were actually on the site I came upon that introduced me to this little moment of sharing! So today I follow directions to the tee. And next TUESDAY come back to see the multitude of progress that has been made in the garden!
Do Skinny Girls Have Food Issues?
Except that would be a a lie.
For many years, I have made mention in passing with my women friends about not liking my body, feeling unhealthy, shame over my seemingly permanent muffin top, or just plain not wanting to get in a swimsuit due to my lack of enjoyment of putting on display the cottage cheese evident in many places of my body scattered under my skin.
What I find when I share such nuggets isn't compassion, but more like aggressive eye rolling and annoyance.
Because I am skinny.
Of course right now I am about 5 pounds over my ideal weight for me. That would just piss off so many. Because of course when wearing clothes I look fantabulous. In a swimsuit, or shorts, or God forbid naked, I see another more painful story.
It is a story of a skinny girl who is addicted to food for all things emotional.
I use it to ease my anxiety. I use food to erase my feelings of being a totally inadequate Mom at least once every single day. I use Starbucks Mocha's and Carmel Frappuccino's to take away the loneliness I feel on a daily basis…even though I am surrounded by two beautiful, amazing, creatures at every moment. I use Newman's O's, and any chocolate I can find, to 'treat' myself as if I deserve to 'treat' myself like shit. I find any sugar laden snack to fill my world with love, because so often it feels like love is missing. I am obsessive to the point of planning out where my next fix will be coming from, and completely unable to go through an entire day without some sort of yumminess that I swear to myself I won't eat tomorrow.
Except I do.
To make matters worse, I am hypoglycemic. My sugar addiction has already taken a toll on my body producing symptoms of low sugar when I come down from my sugar high. I can be skinny on the outside, with insides that are screaming for me to make a change.
Yet I still continue my addiction.
So please don't judge me because I wear a size 8…my demons are just as painful as yours; my bag of hammers just as heavy. If I have shared my dirty little secret with you, it is because I am reaching out for understanding.
I am actually really happy to come upon this fitness/weight/health blog hop because all of our journey's are a struggle whatever they may look like from the outside. We all have to fight everyday to stay on track. We all need support to pick ourselves up when we have fallen. We all need to see each other without judgment, but with compassion instead. Regardless of the complexities of our individual paths.
*This is where we show our community support by following other blogs and other journeys!

Who Will Clinch The Latino Vote In November?
By editor • Apr 25, 2012
Originally published on April 25, 2012 10:44 am
There are big questions about Mitt Romney's ability to appeal to Latinos. Hispanic voters favor President Obama over Romney by more than two to one, according to a recent Pew poll. But not everyone is sure the president's lead will translate to votes. Host Michel Martin speaks with columnist Ruben Navarrette and Maria Teresa Kumar of Voto Latino.

Lions in Winter: Yanks loseOctober 25, 2010 at 7:18 AM | Posted in Baseball | 7 Comments
Tags: Bill Bradley, Jeter, Petitte, Posada, Rivera, Yankees
One can only ask so much.
I remember not sleeping after the Yanks clinched last year's World Series against the Phillies. I was so happy — I wanted our four stalwarts, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Petitte to win just more time. I would have made any rooting pact to have that happen.
We failed this year but it wasn't a failure. We were one of the last four team playing and if we were to look at things objectively, which will take time, we will realize that we were old and it showed in slower bats, weaker arms, loss of control and injury. We may say someday, how did they ever play so well in 2010?
Old great teams don't get beat by other old teams and so it was right that the Texas Rangers, who have never been to the World Series are getting to go. They played better in every way and so, play on.
Bill Bradley, the great Princetonian and Knick (and U.S. Senator) said that he played one extra year, even though he knew he was not nearly the same player as before. He said that he wanted to experience the full arc of a career, including the downside.
As a fan of the Great Four, I want the same for them, I want them to have the time to complete the cycle — and I will be there with them. I owe them that.

The Buckeyes make their triumphant return to the turf this Saturday — and this time, they've got no less than Urban Meyer at the helm. That can only mean that more eyes than usual will be tuned to Buckeye Nation all season. Do yourself a favor and find a comfortable seat, a cold beer and a basket of smokin' wings to go with that adoration. We found 25 great spots to catch all the games this season. If you hurry, you can make it to all of them before the season closer on Nov. 24.
Story by: Chris DeVille, Jackie Mantey, John Ross, Kristen Schmidt and Jesse Tigges
Gallo's Tap Room
5019 Olentangy River Rd., Northwest Side
Gallo's is known for its impressive selection of beer and bar food (drink fancy on game day), but what about TVs? The booths have their own flat-panels, and if you can't snag one of those intimate game-day hideouts, the bar also has a couple 90-inch whoppers and a pair of 72-inchers.
Coaches Bar & Grill
1480 Bethel Rd., Northwest Side
Naming your bar Coaches means you're all about sports; naming your bar Coaches in Columbus means you're all about Buckeyes football. 50 HD TVs? Got 'em. Memorabilia scattered throughout? Yup. Burger dedicated to Woody Hayes? You know it! Just watch out for flying beanbags because Coaches' cornhole league competes on Saturdays.
UA Pub
2096 W. Henderson Rd., Northwest Side
Here we have the traditional neighborhood bar experience: A handful of screens above the bar, cheap drinks and the usual greasy delights from the grill. On Saturdays the special happens to be $3 well drinks and shots, so don't get too crazy with the post-touchdown toasts. But get a little crazy.
The Filling Station
8765 Smoky Row Rd., Powell
The weekly Saturday drink special: $12 Coors Light buckets and $1 High Life and High Life Light. As if that wasn't enticing enough on a game day, the price of buckets reduces to $10 during Buckeye games (not to mention Cavs, Indians and Reds contests). Have a fried B-o-l-o-g-n-a sandwich with that.
Buckeye Hall of Fame Grill
900 Goodale Blvd., Grandview
As a game-day experience, this is an upgrade from the defunct Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe. They open at 10 a.m. for noon games. The patio features 40 large HD screens and a Block O fire pit. A solid memorabilia collection is on display for perusal. And they offer bus rides to and from Ohio Stadium with the purchase of a $20 gift card, which you'll probably use to pay for that day's meals and drinks anyhow. Good deal!
384 W. Third Ave., Victorian Village
Zeno's offers all the essentials for a pleasurable pigskin experience — multiple TVs, pizza, beer (specials include Coors Light Pounders and Miller Lite drafts for $2.50) — but go to this bar on an OSU home game day and you'll also find a hot near-campus commodity: parking! There are patron spaces next to Zeno's and in the lot behind Katalina's, and parking's public and free on Third Avenue.
R Bar
413 N. Front St., Arena District
This Arena District staple is a hive for Blue Jackets fans, but it's also a great place to watch some football. There are 12 TVs to choose from and a menu loaded with bar food, sandwiches and pizzas served from a kitchen that's open until 1 a.m. on Saturdays.
Grandview Café
1455 W. Third Ave., Grandview
It still feels like summer, so combine patio life with football as long as you can at Grandview Café, where the second-floor deck is equipped with a huge flat-screen TV. The looks at this Grandview classic are backed up by terrific food and drink specials. Specialty hot dogs make you feel like you're right in the stadium — just in a better seat.
Loose Goose Tavern
668 Grandview Ave., Grandview
Loose Goose is new to Grandview this year, but it's already become quite the playground for grownups. Inside, you'll find strategically located televisions by the bar, but there's plenty to occupy your attention during commercials and halftime, too. Challenge friends to a game of skee-ball inside or check out the patio and fun outside.
961 S. High St., German Village
Besides friendly service, game-day visitors to Gresso's can expect plenty of treats and fun.
Wear a jersey of your favorite team playing that day. If the person wearing that number scores during the game and you're drinking Bud Light, you'll get your next Bud Light for cents equal to the number on your jersey. (Love No. 10? Pay 10 cents for that beer.)
The bar serves $11.99 buckets on game days. And if the crowd's big enough, the bar conducts a $1 raffle for T-shirts and coverage of one lucky person's tab at the end of the game.
Classics Sports Bar
543 S. High St., Brewery District
Classics does a great job of catering to the sports enthusiast, whether he's watching the game on TV or challenging friends to a game in the bar. TVs are conveniently situated above the bar, and there's a big-screen out on a covered patio. There's plenty of good bar grub to be had, but Classics is known for pizza for good reason. Not feeling the Brewery District? Classics has locations in Westerville, Tuttle Crossing, and Pickerington, too.
High Beck
564 S. High St., German Village
The High Beck just came out on top in Columbus Alive's Coldest Beer in Columbus contest. So don't miss the ice-cold domestic bottles at this High Street hangout on the edge of German Village. On Saturdays, the bar serves $1.75 domestics and $2.25 well drinks 'til 7 p.m. Watching pigskin puts us in the mood for some pig meat — regulars clamor for Tiny's Tasty BBQ dishes, which come in pork, brisket and ribs varieties.
King Avenue Five
945 King Ave., Grandview
Sports is king here, but the food is a close contender for the crown. All your game-day favorites — nachos, wings, burgers — are on the menu, and so are comfort-food favorites like meatloaf and fish and chips. King Avenue Five works hard to cater to the sports nut: TVs abound, and there's a sweet game room. Shuffleboard, anyone?
The Library Bar
If you're on Campus during game days and looking for a more chill atmosphere for watching the Buckeyes, The Library Bar is the place. Sure, it's still got plenty of fans cheering, drinking and partying, but that little added bit of elbow room makes a world of difference.
2169 N. High St., Campus
Taj Bar & Lounge
Looking to watch the game in style? The Taj Bar & Lounge is just the spot with its swanky bar and carefully crafted cocktails. Even better: The game is shown on a big projector outside on the patio. That's right — al fresco game day!
2321 N. High St., Campus
Varsity Club
278 W. Lane Ave., Campus
All you revelers out there looking for a hardcore party need look no further than campus' most (in)famous bar during Buckeye games. There's a reason it's recognized as one of the best college bars in the country. Home or away — but especially home games — the Varsity Club is wall-to-wall packed with students, alumni and fans cheering on the Bucks.
The Little Bar
2195 N. High St., Campus
We're not real sure why it's called Little Bar, because during game days this place is one gigantic party. There's plenty of TVs and a projection screen to catch all of the action. If you're in the mood for some post-game celebrating, Little Bar's patio is the place to be.
Mad Mex
The South Campus Gateway has a number of bars, but Mad Mex is an underrated gem. Besides having the best beer selection in the Gateway — even a serious beer nerd would be impressed — Mad Mex has the best wings you'll ever find in a Mexican joint. And what's better than beer, wings and football?
1542 N. High St., Campus
The Dub Pub
5736 Frantz Rd., Dublin
Widely considered one of Columbus' best sports bars, the Dub Pub also has a not-so-secret weapon — a really attractive female staff. The best part is the staff isn't just a bunch of pretty faces; they're also super friendly and won't let you go long without a fresh beer.
Pastimes Pub and Grill
1333 Worthington Centre Dr., Worthington
Pastimes Pub and Grill has some of the best food of any sports bar in the city. The burgers are always a solid option and the pulled pork sandwich is excellent. Make sure start out with the Buffalo Chicken Dip — it's addictive.
3370 Olentangy River Rd., Campus
No part of the chicken accompanies football better than wings, and no one serves wings better than Roosters. Wash down delicious flappers with selections from a Saturday happy hour running from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Among other specials, you'll find 22-ounce drafts and well drinks for $2.75. To catch the game, try the giant projection screen in the rear dining room.
Fourth Street Bar and Grill
1810 N. 4th St., Campus
Though it's a long stumble from the main Campus drag, Fourth Street Bar and Grill has become one of the hottest places for students to meet, greet and sip pints into the wee hours. The bar's known for its wide selection of quality drafts — but also offers a solid rotation of specials on simple, game-day fare.
Bernard's Tavern
630 N. High St., Short North
The Short North isn't the most popular game-day destination, so a low-intensity viewing experience awaits at Bernard's. This polished watering hole focuses on craft beer and a broad menu of sandwiches, starters and sophisticated pub grub. TVs stand in attention over the bar, so your best bet is to belly up.
World of Beer
503 S. Front St., Brewery District
Ever sipped a Belgian dubbel while watching the Buckeyes? Scratch that from your bucket list at World of Beer, which offers 500 bottles and 45 drafts from across the globe. The bar opens early for kickoff, boasts 40 flat-screen TVs and provides free live music on Saturday nights. Check in during the Oct. 13 night game against Indiana for a special Oktoberfest celebration.
Hamptons on King
234 King Ave., Victorian Village
Buckeye fans living south of Campus flock to this cozy neighborhood pub known for its peculiar decor and dedicated regulars. Celebrate a long pass from Braxton Miller to Corey Brown with $3 bombs (get it?) and rotating food specials. During halftime, take a breather on the bar's spacious patio.

Man pleads guilty in alleged embezzlement ring
BENNINGTON A local man pleaded guilty this week to a felony charge of embezzlement that police said happened during several months and involved several employees of the Subway restaurant on North Street in Bennington.
Casey A. Gras, 26, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court Monday, the same day he was arraigned. The state dismissed a second felony charge, obstruction of justice.
In an affidavit, Detective Sgt. David Rowland said police began investigating what was going on at the store Oct. 1. At the time, police spoke with the store manager, Alan Heany, who said he was suspicious of several employees there.
Heany said a few of the employees had voided a large number of sales on the cash register. According to Heany, during the week before Oct. 1, Gras had rung up about 250 completed transactions and about 450 voided transactions.
Heany also said average sale totals on Saturdays had been $2,000 to $2,300 and on Sundays about $1,200 to $1,600, but in the seven months Gras worked at the restaurant had dropped to about $1,100 to $1,200 on Saturdays and about $700 to $800 on Sundays.
According to the affidavit, Gras admitted Oct. 1 to taking some money but not all of the money that had been taken.
Bennington County Deputy States Attorney Robert Plunkett, who prosecuted the case, said authorities dont yet have a total of how much money was taken.
Gras was taken into custody at the time because he was being cited on the embezzlement charge. The new citation was a violation of Gras probation for a previous felony conviction from August for selling narcotics.
Rowland said other employees of the Subway were interviewed throughout the following few weeks.
One woman who worked there said she was aware of some suspicious activity but said Gras had told her, If you say something, we can get back at you.
A second woman told Rowland other employees, along with Gras, were taking money on the weekends. Although she didnt admit to directly taking money, she said she would be handed small amounts of money, or find money in her backpack or car, which she believed was because she didnt tell the manager.
She said one of the people taking money told her she was involved because she accepted the money, which she estimated was a total of $450. She told Rowland that some of the employees were trying to step away but were pulled back into it.
A third woman told police she had been given $400 over time, which she called shut-up money. The woman said Gras told her that all of the employees were in it together and if one of us goes down, we all go down together.
The fourth woman Rowland interviewed also said Gras and others had been taking money.
As part of the plea agreement, Gras was sentenced to serve up to two years and agreed to repay the Subway restaurant.
Asked if others would face charges based on the allegations, Plunkett said he could only say that the police investigation was continuing.

City: Records should be 'protected'By David Taube
STAFF WRITER | March 02,2013MONTPELIER — A lawyer for the city defended an administrative decision to withhold certain information, citing case law that he says shows information can be "protected for the public's benefit."
A lawsuit by firefighter union officials against the city heard testimony from both parties Friday in Washington County Superior Court. Union leaders had sought documents under the state's open records law, and both parties agreed in court that a judge should review the materials.
Judge Robert Bent indicated he'd try to rush through a decision before a Tuesday vote about what records are public or private.
Bent suggested the major aspect of the case centered on whether city officials can discuss issues privately as part of a deliberative process exemption that protects records from disclosure.
The city initially released some records, denying most on the basis that the records were interdepartmental or intradepartmental communications preliminary to the setting of a budget policy, budget action or presentation.
The city later released several dozen additional records, but has maintained that some remaining documents are still protected. The city's lawyer, John Klesch, said Friday that 13 records are being withheld. As part of the case, the city argued "frank, internal discussions" are protected from disclosure.
Bent suggested part of the information under debate involved records related to how city officials might advocate for a preliminary budget decision, where representatives might advocate for a policy.
"These are discussions among policy-level folks in the city government talking about how to promote their desired outcome for the budget vote," Klesch said.
Klesch said discussions between the mayor, city manager, another city council member, and the fire chief about how to put out a public outreach on the issue dealt with records that were "legally exempt" because they are a "preliminary action."
The statute states records may be exempt from release if they are "primarily factual materials and are preliminary to any determination of policy or action or precede the presentation of the budget at a meeting."
After the city unveiled its budget, firefighters gathered signatures to create a ballot petition to fund a firefighter position slated to be cut, seeking to ensure $54,669 would be earmarked. At a final budget hearing Jan. 24, the city council decided to reduce the total overall budget in an amount roughly the same as identified in the firefighters' petition, suggesting that even if the petition passes, the position will still be cut.
"It is an action of policymakers after the budget comes out at a city council meeting and there's public hearings and so forth and then the firefighters association comes out with their petition, policymakers discussing, 'How are we going to respond to that?'" is protected, Klesch said.
The lawyer for the firefighters, Jim Dunn, said if the documents showed that city officials were "trying to hide, if you will, from the community" and develop strategy, that should not be covered by deliberative process.
"Is it their duty to influence public opinion?" Bent asked.
"I think that is inherent in any political office," Klesch said. "Part of what you do is communicate with the public and you consult with your internal, confidential advisers."
He later added taht if a mayor asks a city manager whether a position should be cut, and the manager suggested the possibility was not a good idea, that information should be protected. Bent agreed that "inaction" was protected.
Also during the proceeding, Bent said the city did a poor job on explaining why records were exempt. The list of exempt documents detailed records written by the city only included a sender and receiver and a line of statute cited, Bent said.
Bent also suggested he didn't feel the court should be the "figure-it-out" agency. The city indicated, however, that it apparently was agreeable to a speedy decision.
"The city is not interested in trying to rely on procedural blocks to get a substantive decision from the court," Klesch said. "The city's position is if the documents are truly not exempt, then we would ask your honor to decide that."
As part of the case, the plaintiff raised the issue that the preliminary budget materials exemption covers "inter-departmental communications," suggesting the mayor in this case would not be included. Bent said he planned to demonstrate the mayor is considered a department.
Bent said the ruling would not be "the decision to end all decisions on the topic."
"There's no law in Vermont on this deliberative process exemption. There's likely to be tons of law on this issue federally," Bent said, requesting both parties to submit materials based on the issue early Friday afternoon to help him decide.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYDon Sutton prepares to throw one of his patented curveballs in this 1982 card -- nothing beats the colors of those old-school Astros uniforms. Sutton's Astros career was over less than two years in after he was traded to Milwaukee in August 1982.

- Delleman-Oorthuys Syndrome
- Delleman Syndrome
- OCC Syndrome
- Orbital Cyst with Cerebral and Focal Dermal Malformations
General Discussion
Oculocerebrocutaneous (OCC) syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized primarily by eye (ocular), brain (e.g., cerebral), and skin (cutaneous) malformations. For example, many affected infants have semisolid or fluid-filled swellings (cysts) within the cavities of the skull (orbits) that accommodate the eyeballs and associated structures. In most cases, the eye on the affected side or sides is also abnormally small (microphthalmos). Brain abnormalities associated with OCC syndrome may include malformations of the ventricular system in the middle of the brain, multiple fluid-filled spaces within the outer region of the cerebral hemispheres (cerebral cortex), and absence of the band of nerve fibers that joins the brain's hemispheres (agenesis of the corpus callosum). Affected infants and children may also have mental retardation and episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain (seizures). In addition, OCC syndrome is characterized by underdevelopment or absence of skin in certain localized regions (focal dermal hypoplasia or aplasia) and most have protruding, flesh-colored or brownish outgrowths of skin (cutaneous tags) within certain facial areas, including around the eyelids, on the cheeks, or near the ears. In all individuals with OCC syndrome, the disorder appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (isolated, with no family history of similar disorders).

The B team won 22-0 and then in the nightcap, the A squad bounced the Brahmas 28-0. It was the home opener for both Moreno teams.
The Trojan B team set the tone for the night as Quarterback AJ Gomez threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Brent Romine. Kyle Villareal and AJ Gomez also added a touchdown of their own.
The offensive line and the defense also drew praise from the coaches.
"We got great blocks from Trey Jaure, Donald Shreve, Brady Campos and Michael Carbajal. The defense stepped up and put together a shutout for the second week in a row," said coach Ruben Lopez.
The defensive charge was led by Alan Bridge, Marcus Perez and Bryan Gaitan.
The 8A team was led by fullback Dustin Torres and quarterback Nick Gonzales. Torres led the team in yards with 12 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown. Michael Virata, Nick Gonzales and Matthew Guerra also scored against a tough Braham defense.
The "O" line helped pave the way with great blocks by Jessie Gutierrez, John Ross Carbajal, RJ Gonzales, Rudy Casarez and Kaden Morin.
The Trojan defense was causing the Brahmas to make a lot of mistakes, creating five turnovers on the night.
"These kids are understanding that defense is supposed to be fun. They made it fun tonight and when you're having fun and being physical, you win ball games," Lopez said.
The good defensive effort was led by Byron Barrera, Kaden Morin Jordan Cantu, Bryan Reyna and Koltan Wright.
The teams remain at home next Tuesday night with games against the Port Lavaca boys.

I just researched Animink and found they have about 25 websites that they have as clients showing on their website, but this one is not listed. I am sure who they have listed is just the short list of a long list of clients.
Anyway, there needs to be a more obvious way of contacting them because where it says "contact us" actually goes to SHR and from previous experience a long time ago they had no idea about this site. We need to remember to click on the "webmaster" link at the bottom of the screen because that goes to the e-mail address that Hidden Hollow was talking about quite some time ago.

By Sharna Johnson
District Attorney Matt Chandler asked a judge Thursday to stop all communications between a former Clovis dentist and potential state witnesses involved in James Smith's murder case.
Chandler said the conversations could compromise the testimony in Smith's trial.
Ninth Judicial District Court Judge Joe Parker said he will make a ruling on the request after reviewing written briefs by the state and defense.
"There has been a lot of communication between the defendant and witnesses who the state may call," Chandler told Parker on Thursday during a pre-trial hearing. "We ask that he not be allowed contact with witnesses that are going to be testifying in this trial."
Citing an ongoing investigation, Chandler would not elaborate on the type or frequency of the incidents involving Smith allegedly contacting potential state witnesses.
Chandler said Thursday's hearing was the first opportunity for the state to ask the court to restrict communications between the defendant and potential witnesses, which he said was a standard request. The restriction does not include family members.
Chandler's request was met with strong objections from Smith's attorney, Stephen Doerr of Portales.
Doerr agreed a judge may impose communications restrictions on a defendant as a bond condition.
However, Doerr argued, his client has been held without bond since being arrested Dec. 20 in connection with the strangulation death of 30-year-old Clovis waitress and mother of two, Laura McNaughton.
"I can't find any authority for the court to impose (such restrictions) prior to release," Doerr said.
Parker said he is familiar with the law as it relates to restricting a defendant's communications as a condition of release from jail while awaiting trial, but he acknowledged that he was not sure how or if the communications of an incarcerated person could be restricted.
Smith, 37, who has pleaded not guilty, appeared in court alongside his attorney as the family members of the victim listened via teleconference in California.
The defense and the prosecution did agree on at least one point during the 45-minute hearing — they need four weeks of uninterrupted time set aside for the capital murder trial: four to five days for jury selection, two weeks for trial and a week for sentencing.
Chandler said scheduling conflicts with court staff could interrupt the trial, set for October.
Parker rescheduled the trial for Jan. 8 through Feb. 2.
Parker also imposed a July 1 deadline for filing of evidence under discovery at the request of Chandler, who said that a deadline would assist his office in obtaining evidence from state crime and forensic laboratories.
"A court deadline for discovery completion of perhaps July or August would give us something to hang our hat on when we call the labs," he said.
In other matters, Chandler ask Doerr to clarify on the record a defense motion reserving the right to use limited mental capacity as a defense.
Doerr said while he will not argue a lack of competency to stand trial, a defense expert will be called to testify that Smith lacked the competency to form intent.
Smith attempted suicide Dec. 13, the day after officials first questioned him about McNaughton, officials have said. Court records show that in a note to his wife, Smith denied killing McNaughton.
However, according to court documents unsealed Dec. 30, Smith told police McNaughton "died very quickly" at his home during a "very physical embrace," and that he undressed her body and left it in the ditch the next day.

Nexus donation system for usersposted by Dark0ne Site NewsUp until today we have had a policy of not allowing users to request or receive donations from other users on the Nexus sites. This has included things such as mod authors asking for Pay Pal donations in their file descriptions. This policy stemmed from a long running rule on Bethesda's official forums, dating all the way back to the launch of Morrowind where asking for donations, or even talking about the prospect of donations is not allowed. The reason is very simple; it's a legal grey area. In between EULAs and contracts, no one really knows the full extent of the law in this regard and it's been better for everyone that the matter is just kept a closed book so we don't open pandora's box.
It's never been a big issue on the Nexus because, as the largest source for Oblivion and Fallout modifications we helped to ensure this policy remained intact, so Bethesda have never had to look too deeply at the matter. In essence, we enforced the policy because our relationship with Bethesda, and ensuring modding isn't more hassle than it's worth for them (so they continue to release SDK's for their games), is more important than mod authors receiving donations. And I'll stand by that thinking.
The truth of the matter is that I coded a donation system on the Nexus many months ago, before the launch of Steam Workshop, in anticipation of any changes that the integration with Steam Workshop might bring. There's a 13 page thread in the private mod author forums, where I discussed the various options with mod authors that I started months ago as proof of this. Those changes were put on hold until we could tell whether Bethesda's policy or endorsement of mod author donations changed with the Steam Workshop integration. Steam Workshop did not offer any direct donation or payment methods, however, with the launch of Steam Workshop several mod authors have questioned recently why Bethesda/Valve were allowing mod authors to request donations on the Steam Workshop in their file descriptions, but we weren't. I assumed that, actually, Bethesda weren't allowing it, but instead were just unaware that mod authors were doing this. So this seemed like the perfect time to rock-the-boat a little and enquire further on this matter.
So I fired off an email to Bethesda this morning and we had a conversation on the matter. It was good to know that Bethesda and I are on exactly the same page in regards to this subject. However, I have now received a confirmation that if users want to ask for donations on their page then that should be fine. Which is good news. The worry is in the further ramifications, like mod authors trying to offer their services, support or files for money in any shape or form and that's something I agree with absolutely.
It's great to know that Bethesda do not have a problem with mod authors receiving voluntary donations from other users (and they used the analogy of a tip jar) but we need to make sure that's all that donations are used for. Voluntary donations are fine, but let's list some of the things that aren't fine so we're completely clear:
- Asking for donations in exchange for password protected files or additional content e.g. offering your own kind of DLC for mods in exchange for donations. All mods must remain completely open, and completely free. You cannot offer additional content for donations.
- Asking for donations in exchange for updates for your uploaded files e.g. saying "for every £10 I receive I will update my mod with new fixes and features".
- Asking for donations in exchange for help or support e.g. saying you won't help someone to install or fix problems with their mods unless they donate to you.
- Offering incentives for people who donate to you
- Anything that isn't just a straight forward, voluntary donation, in exchange for nothing
We have to be strict on this because there are bigger legal ramifications at stake when money is being exchanged. Because of this, and because I don't want file descriptions to be spammed full of "PLEASE DONATE TO ME" messages, we are going to enforce a rule of absolutely no donation solicitation on the Nexus. That means you cannot ask or talk about donations in your file descriptions, profile pages, comments or private messages. And we mean that. We have updated our Terms of Service accordingly.
I have coded a donation system in to every Nexus site that you can now configure in your preferences area. First things first, the donation system is completely optional and you most definitely do not have to use it. It's completely opt-in, so if you want to accept donations you need to fill in the required fields in your preferences.
When you fill in your donation preferences you can set where you would like donation links to show. At the moment you can set them to show on your profile page and/or all your file pages and it's a simple toggle to turn that on or off. Once on, new links will show on the pages you selected, with a donation button and text reading "Like what this author does? Consider donating money to this user through Pay Pal to help support and encourage them.". That's it. All donation links on all files are in the same place, so if a user wants to donate to you, they will. So remember the no solicitation rules in regards to donations.
I hope that this new feature within the community will be used, because god knows mod authors deserve any support and encouragement you're willing to give them, but I hope it's used properly and not exploited. We'll be monitoring the situation very closely to ensure that's not the case.

aww..i guess you need to blur out faces to protect the innocent...that's the problem with the internet age...childhood trauma is not just for the enjoyment/scrutiny of family and friends, it's for everyone...
i'm happy i've blocked out most of my childhood...don't need parents blogging "look at what my goofy kid just did" or "i can't believe he's mine"...
evidence destroyed + equally, if not more, embarassing stories about the witnesses (mutually-assured humiliation) = attendance at family functions...

what? Noooo!!!!
And what if you make the faces unrecognizable? Then you could post again, right? Or the faces/mimics/etc was the main point? arrgh I wanted to read this post too! T_T
BTW, just who the hell cares if they don't like seeing themselves on the net? It's a free place and it's not like they are made to advertise something or shown as doing something bad.
I don't know what the photo was about, but if they are ashamed of it, then blame themselves! So far no photos featured here had pictured bad things....IMHO....(not including humiliation by family members)
If this particular person thinks this one photo did, then she's ashamed!...Of what? Being Korean? Then I feel bad for her or him!
Hope to read many more of your stories! Keep going!

Mary, i agree that if chiyo blurred the faces, she could use the photo. But I feel like I might be uncomfortable if someone was using a photo of me on the internet when I didn't even know that person. I don't know where she got the picture, but I'm guessing one of the people in the picture or the person who took the picture gave Chiyo the picture, and obviously they all know each other or they wouldn't be in the picture together, so whoever gave the picture should have asked everyone else in the picture if it was okay before agreeing to publicly display the picture.
BTW, I used the word "picture" eight times in the above sentence. Aren't you guys all proud of me? Aren't your eyes bleeding? :)
One more thing: Chiyo, was it a photo of someone's piano recital thingy? Because I remember seeing that someplace and it might have been here...in which case I would hate to be one of the KMs in the picture ;)

i was the person in the picture. i was just uncomfortable that my facebook picture was taken by someone i dont know and put up on a random website. and to the mary kid. you don't know anything. i said i didn't mind that much but i just don't like the fact that ppl can take my pictures and do whatever they want with them. watch your language. thankyou.

Don't want Chiyo to feel bad because of me, but I have to respond....Hanna,
1. I'm no kid
2. Pictures posted on the net are due to spread. Read the laws and policies. If one wants it to be private, set it that way. Or don't complain
3. And what if I don't pay attention to my choice of words? You will stare me to death? Even my own mother can't make me surrender. (rather the opposite) It works only on subservient-by-nature people....
Now I have a feeling I won't comment for a while....no need for trolls, right?

Hello! Chiyo...can you tell us, what do Korean Moms think of Park Jaebum? :)

Hey, I was Googling "Gift for Korean Mother-in-Law" and your site was at the top of the heap. I'm getting married next week and my fiance tells me I need to get her mother a gift before the wedding. But what does a Korean mom want as a gift from her future son-in-law? Will a bag of white socks and a box of red gingko get me off the hook? Or will she want me to buy her a wing at Tiffany's? Or will no gift do the trick so I might as well buy a scratch-off ticket from the 7-11 on the way to the airport.
Please help! I don't want to the first look I get to be that eye you speak of...

Make a post about "Not Buying Clothes Hangers"
- June 6, 2010 at 10:13 PM
I wonder if my KM is the only one to do this. She buys stuff ON SALE, and then stores it, and gifts you with it later. It doesn't matter how hideous it is or whether it's something you actually need. I have so much junk from my KM that I'll never wear, never use, may never see the light of day.
Do not ever throw away a KM gift. "You at least give back to me, I give someone else! Waste money!"
But it's not waste money to buy things you don't need if ON SALE.
