COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 9, 2013) – USA Volleyball Indoor High Performance announced today that it has invited 27 players to participate in a second tryout for the U.S. Girls' Youth National Volleyball Team (GYNT), which will ultimately compete in the 2013 FIVB Volleyball Girls' Youth World Championships July 25 to Aug. 4 at Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
The GYNT consists of players born in either 1996 or 1997. The program's second tryout will take place June 13-16 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Rise & Opine offers opinions on opinions, with varying levels of caffeine, three days a week.
Blast off
CEQA reform supporters and Democrats must be feeling a bit like Juliet in a Shakespeare tragedy, ever since Sen. Michael Rubio announced he was leaving the Senate to become a lobbyist at Chevron.
The move leaves Senate Democrats without a supermajority and leaves CEQA reformers without a moderate Democrat capable of bridging both extremes in the debate over modifying (or "updating" or "modernizing" or "gutting") the California Environmental Quality Act.
You can imagine his suitors alone on the balcony, speaking into the night:
O Rubio, Rubio, wherefore art thou, Rubio?
Deny thy father Chevron and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, etc., etc.
Too late. Rubio has made his decision, as mysterious as it may be. Yet the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle can't quite figure out what to make of it in a Monday editorial.
A legislator leaving office certainly has a right to earn a living, though there is something unseemly about a politician instantly joining a company that was so closely affected by his public work.
Unseemly, yes, especially if Chevron uses Rubio to elect a Republican in his old seat. That would make it harder for Democrats to retain the supermajority in the Senate in 2014, depending on what happens in other races. That would give the company a boost in its agenda, which includes changes to the low carbon fuel standard, delay in AB 32 implementation, loose fracking rules, etc.
Meanwhile, Democrats continue to pine for Rubio:
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Rubio would, were he not Rubio call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Rubio, doff thy name,
and for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
Yep. We could sell tickets to this little drama.
This post was updated from the original to clarify that Rubio's departure is unlikely to have a permanent impact on the Democrats' supermajority until 2014.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Not seen reviews of the full marathon so here goesIn full: This is my local race. I've run the full 7 times and the half twice.I have to say the organisation for the full was pretty good. I heard they had to apologise for the mini-marathon where people were mis-directed. That's a shame but at least they offered a refund.The good?Well they changed the course quite a bit and I like it a lot more.The atmosphere was as good if not better than previous years.Plenty of water stations.The bad?Why oh why do the organisers insist on punishing people with Holme Pierpont. It's a miserable lap of a big lake with blustery wind and no shade. It's quite depressing.So as usual, the half is very good but the full still needs work.Finally, thanks to all the unpaid volunteers and I suppose to the organisers, though I'm sure at what we pay do ok out of this.Also a big thank you to the crowds who were so encouraging especially towards the end.Every year I say the organisers need to change the course but every year I do the race so it must be good. :)Leicester in a fortnight. I must be mad.Thank you for reading.Date of review: September 29, 2013
In short: New Sponsor and a New CourseIn full: I live about 10 minutes away so it's an easy one to get to and I've run the 1/2 or the full marathon since 2005. A new sponsor and a new course. The irony is, the original 1/2 was a nice scenic route around the nice parts of Nottingham, like Wollaton Park and the castle. It didn't need to be changed from a scenery point of view. It was the second part of the full that was so bad.The stewards, water station personnel did a great job. A big thank you to them. The atmosphere was great.What I didn't like was the so-called goody bag. A Mars bar (yuck), crappy chemical filled flapjack, a packet soup (I think), ready salted crisps and some coffee flavoured sweets aren't really adequate for the £30 or so.The medal was nice.Did anyone get a radically different chip time to their official time?! My chip time was 5 minutes less! :)I'd also like to know where the money goes on all of this.Date of review: September 30, 2012
In short: Mixed FeelingsIn full: We all knew the weather would be bad but I didn't think it would be *that* awful. Was more like February.Atmosphere was very good. A lot of friendly people there and I can imagine on a sunny day it would be a wonderful race. I only found out the cancellation of the full marathon because I was quite near the loudspeaker. I can imagine that a lot of people would not have heard it.I think they made the right decision and if they'd have cancelled it the day before it could have been a worse mistake.My only grumble really was about the finish, which was congested unnecessarily. I was lucky enough to get a medal but where was the goody bag? Pretty expensive race, so not amused by that.Don't know if I'll run this again but a big thank you to the marshals, people at the water stations and crowds who supported the runners.Date of review: May 3, 2012
In short: Frustrating Race but...In full: This is my 6th go at the Robin Hood Marathon. I usually enjoy it. The crowds are supportive, the first half of the marathon is around the best parts of the city and it is quite a scenic city, Nottingham.The second half, is always the same. I think the marathon runners get a raw deal, really. The real killer is Holme Pierrepont, which is the watersports centre. It's basically a lap of that. There's no cover and the headwinds make running very difficult.I've emailed the organisers a few times about changing just that bit, as I know a lot of other people hate it as well. We'll have to see.The goody bag was hopeless. A pack of crisps, a few adverts, some cloths and some toothpaste.The medal was good, though.So in summary, a fine race and thank you to the organisers but please change the course a bit and put some flapjacks in the goody bag!Date of review: September 11, 2011
In short: Mostly EnjoyableIn full: Firstly thanks to the organisers.This is quite a tough race in beautiful surroundings. The first half of the race is mostly hills.Mostly friendly except for some of the military marshals who only half-filled cups and seemed surly for no particular reason.I'm glad I ran it but as someone mentioned, the plastic bottle wasn't that impressive. I think the organisers should have made it clear not to expect a medal/goodie bag and that the money was going to charity. I'd have been happier with that.Date of review: May 23, 2011
In short: 5th Year Running - Route Needs ChangingIn full: This is my local. I started with the 1/2 back in 2005 and since then have done the full.The half is a really good race as it takes in the more scenic parts of Nottingham like Wollaton Park.You can forgive the hills for that.The full is lonelier experience as it breaks off to eventually go to the waters sports centre and there is little support (though more this year) and there's no shade. It's repetitive and no one seems to enjoy it. However, the course for the 2nd half never seems to change. I don't know if it's a logistical problem or they can't be bothered. They should bother because it's not cheap to enter.All in all I probably enjoyed it this year more than previously because even though my knees were agony, I still got under 4 hours. So I am very pleased.The support was mostly really good.The goody bag is full of sweets containing artificial sweeteners, so I'd rather give those a miss. A couple of flapjacks and a packet of crisps would be better!Medal changes subtly every year. Nice to run the 30th race.All in all, good but could do so much better.By the way, this is no reflection on the people who volunteer and were organised and encouraging and kept everything running smoothly. A big thank you to them.My gripe is with the course and whoever decides that doing a lap and half of Holme Pierrepont is in any way enjoyable.Date of review: September 12, 2010
In short: Good one!In full: My first go at this one. I heard it was undulating and it certainly was. Only to be expected in Derbyshire, though. Marshals and water station folks were great. Nice atmosphere.First 9 miles I was fine then I really suffered for the rest of it.Weather wasn't great but made it more rewarding knowing that I'd got round.Date of review: November 29, 2009
In short: Always EnjoyableIn full: This is my local marathon and my 4th go at it. Everything started fine until I was walking there and realised I'd forgotten my running shoes! I had to run in trainers. So I thought I might run the first 1/2 and then quit but I felt ok and carried on and did the rest. Despite the wrong shoes, I think I enjoyed this more than in the past. The crowd and other runners just seemed friendlier this year. Some kind member of the public was giving out bananas. A fellow runner gave me a bottle of water.I love this race but I do wish they'd change the 2nd half because running around Holme Pierrepont is a bit dull. If they did that, it would be a much better race. Either way, I hope to be back next year.A big thank you to everyone who made it possible.Date of review: September 15, 2009
In short: Good 1/2In full: Firstly, thanks to everyone who involved with the organisation, the marshalls and the people giving out the water.I've run this 3 years running and it's quite a good one.May I make a few suggestions?Could the race be run earlier in the day, say 9.00 or 9.30. It gets mighty warm. It made me quite ill this afternoon, in fact.How about 1/2 mile markers? It works very well in the Belvoir 1/2.Finally, instead of a t-shirt, how about a medal as a prize?Date of review: August 9, 2009
In short: Friendly Race but Challenging!In full: This was my second ever race back when I started running in 2005. It rained heavily that day and when woke up this morning it looked like it would do again except it stayed dry and the sun came out later on.I find this quite a tricky one. 3 years ago, my knee was making a clicking sound for weeks afterwards. I must have toughened up because I feel ok now.Don't know what my time was but it's certainly the slowest 1/2 I've run.Just want to say a big thank you to the organisers, the people at the water stations and everyone who turned up to support. It's a very friendly race.Date of review: October 26, 2008

Seattle Police Homicide tip-line (206) 233-5000
When a homicide occurs, Homicide and CSI Unit detectives are summoned to the scene. The homicide detective work in tandem with the CSI detectives to thoroughly work the crime scene from all angles. The creation of the CSI Unit, with their state of the art equipment and ability to process the evidence at crime scenes, has allowed homicide detectives to concentrate on interviewing witnesses, victims and potential suspects of these very serious crimes. The teamwork of these two units is paramount to solving many of these cases.
The Homicide Unit has on average an 80% solve rate with several additional cases being solved each year by the cold case unit and relentless follow up by detectives on all open cases.
At the Seattle Police Department, cold cases are defined as unsolved homicide cases. Unsolved cases become cold cases when any of the assigned detectives on the case retire, which usually is about 15 to 20 years later. The cold case unit also handles all parole issues that come up on cases that have been cleared but the original case detectives have retired.
Cold cases are prioritized in the order of possible suspects, collected DNA and available witnesses.
The unit began with a total of 300 cold cases, and has since solved over 30 cold case homicides. The Seattle Police Cold Case team was one of the first agencies to begin using the Washington State Crime Lab for testing DNA in cold cases.
Before 2000, many of the cold cases that now result in convictions would have remained unsolved. Recent advances in DNA techology has greatly contributed to the amount of cold cases that can now be solved. With the aid of DNA technology and DNA databases, some of the investigative process the detectives use include cross-checking references against other cases, reviewing cases by talking to family members, following-up on new leads, and talking to witnesses or accomplices who, as they age and their lifestyle changes, are more willing to come forward.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Not at all crowded, def PB potential although not exactly flatIn full: Would definitely recommend this marathon. Parking at the start only £2 = definite bonus. Lots of loos although long queues close to start of race. Indoor / marquee area to wait and keep warm right up until start time. People def seemed to put themselves in the right starting pens - no overcrowding / struggling to overtake people over first couple of miles. Pretty views in parts. Good crowd support esp in some of the villages. Water stations well spaced and never overcrowded so no slowing down needed. A fair few small hills along the way which were a bit of a shock to the system - but not enough to stop a PB. Excellent marshalls. Good grandstand finish - although soft ground underfoot for last 400m was a bit challenging. Nice technical T and some much needed snacks in the goody bag. And good finishing area - lots of food stands etc. And most importantly, knocked 15 minutes off my PB to come well within good for age for the first time!! Thank you Chester! Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Nice fast race - although a bit early for a Saturday morning! Date of review: September 21, 2009
In short: My first half marathon and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. True the hills were rather frequent and a bit nasty, but definitely manageable, and the scenery was lovely most of the way around. Very well organised. And I didn't feel like a newby at all!Date of review: February 5, 2007

Thanks for that Norma, nice video.It made me laugh when Dom pulls a red hot pizza out of the oven with his bare hands! do you do that at the Market? LolPaul
i have to say the dough wasn't the star of the show, it didn't have a lot of flavor, even a little off in spots. the rim had a open hole structure and the dough cracked when you folded it. this was Wednesday they are closed monday and tuesday so it could be same day dough. i have a picture of a baked not dressed i'll add it. norma, yes the sicilian was really fun to watch . first the dough is pre-baked with sauce very thin he pulls it from the oven and loads the under crust with oil. topped with mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella , grated cheese any toppings and baked. the crust comes out with oil sizzling around it , Dom puts his fingers in the oil lifts the edge to check doneness ,he dosn't hurry he lets the frying oil sit on his finger tips like it was nothing more than water. that really gets the customers excited.i had a late dinner at keste's to go to so i only ate two cuts. i didn't try the sicilian,but will next time. note in the picture with him stretching a round ,the yellow legal pad is how they take orders. defiantly old school.
this was Wednesday they are closed monday and tuesday so it could be same day dough.
made a di fara clone last night. i feel it is such an easy task. take your standard ny style pizza hot from the oven apply fresh basil cut with scissors apply fresh grated cheese and a good dose of evoo and you will be close to the di fara taste. now it may not have the texture ,the sauce may be a little different, but the fresh basil, evoo and grated cheese will give you a very tasty pizza.

Iro: Rogers 'didnt want to continue a lie'
The Columbus Dispatch - February 15, 2013 04:19 PM
Former Crew defender Andy Iro remains a close friend of Robbie Rogers, who made public his identity as a gay man and also announced his retirement from soccer via a post on his blog earlier today.
Iro was Rogers' teammate from 2008-11 and again at English League One side Stevenage when Rogers was loaned there from Leeds United last year. Iro and Rogers were next-door neighbors in the Short North when both were with the Crew and continue to live near each other in London.
Iro, reached by phone today, said that Rogers would let his blog post speak for itself for now. But he provided plenty of insight into his friend's decision. Some of what Iro said:
On Rogers' decision to publicly come out and announce his retirement:
I know he's been basically trying to decide if he should do it for a little while, whether he was going to make a formal statement or whether he would just drift off. For him, he thought maybe he'd just kind of take some time and hopefully he'd be forgotten about. But it's Robbie Rogers. He almost made a World Cup team, most MLS teams would have wanted to have him and he was part of one of the biggest teams here in England. I think a lot of people were asking what he was going to do next and the statement was just closure to the matter. Robbie and I have spoken extensively about this. I've been fortunate enough to be a part of his inner circle, of people who he has told or have known for a while.
On Rogers speaking to the media:
I don't think he's really interested in doing many if any (interviews). But he has no problem with me speaking (to a Dispatch reporter). The Crew was a major part of his life.
On what went into Rogers' decision:
He knew he couldn't be the man he wanted to be when he had to hide something so integral to his life. I think with football, with the locker room and the banter that goes around, I don't think it made him uncomfortable but he didn't want to continue a lie. I think he genuinely started to become interested in some other passions (fashion, publishing, etc.). He'll always have a love for soccer. He'll always check the Arsenal score. But I think he felt like this chapter has ended. He's ready to move on to other things. Once he's retired then he's out of the picture for most people. He seems fairly adamant that he wanted to be done with football.
On the process:
The most important thing for him was to approach it correctly and to admit who he was and where he is at (in life). And to step away from football completely. Agents and teams, they've been calling and asking about him. This was for him to step away for awhile and focus on other passions and the other side of life.
On a potential return to soccer:
He seems to think he won't but I don't know. If he did decide to return I don't think he'd really miss a beat.
On the coming out process (which occurred after he left Leeds last month):
Once he decided he was done with football (he told) a small, select group (including his parents). He's never hidden behind the fact that it's been extremely difficult for him. This is a very ego-driven sport, very male, a lad kind of sport. Coming out to football players, guys that he's played with, been in the locker room with, that's extremely difficult. I don't know too many people that have a closer relationship with their family and there were obviously some religious issues there. And with soccer and Southern California and those things, that's kind of a homogenous group there. So coming out as a gay man has implications for both he and his family. It wasn't the easiest thing for him to do, but there was a good response from his family. I think that put him at ease.
On Rogers carrying his secret for so long:
I think Robbie was good at surrounding himself with good people, regardless of sexual orientation. The people he chose to surround himself with were going to accept him no matter what. For the most part, it was unspoken. And when he officially told me, we just laughed. It was like, 'of course!' He's a very private guy, not just in this way, but with everything. He only reveals his true self to those closest to him. I think once he was able to make it formal and we were able to joke about it and it put him at ease. He just had to say it, though.
On his friendship and admiration for Rogers, who Iro said didn't come out to him earlier because he didn't want to burden him with a secret:
We lived next door for two years in Columbus and moved to London around the same time. But he just didn't want to put anybody in a situation where they felt uncomfortable. And our manager at Stevenage (former Rapids coach Gary Smith) – he didn't want to put Gary in a situation where people would start questioning his decisions. That's just how he is. Even though he's been massively struggling with all of this, he still cares enough about other people to carry that burden by himself.
On the burden:
He's being carrying that for however long he has, and he came within a whisker of making a World Cup squad. That's how driven he is.
On what's next for Rogers:
He's big into fashion, loves fashion. I think he has massive aspirations in that field. And now he's doing some things with Men's Health magazine. Like I said, he's a very driven guy.
On what this means for Rogers and for soccer:
He wants to be a role model, but maybe more down the road. There are a lot more gay athletes out there that are afraid to do their thing. But I think he just wants to be dedicated and focused on next chapter of life.
On the difficulties of continuing to play after coming out, especially in England:
The States are a melting pot. England, it's very traditional in a lot of senses. And I'm sure Robbie is receiving some negative comments from twitter and those things as we speak.
On the backlash Iro might face as he continues his career:
I don't care, man. What can you say to me? It's nothing personal, I guess. Robbie and I spoke about this and I'm sure there will be some comments directed toward me. I don't expect it to last very long. I can hold my own.

Dalhausser Rogers Bounce Back for Bronze in Prague
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Communications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 27, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers won the bronze medal on Sunday at the Patria Direct Prague Open in Czech Republic, part of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour.
Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.), seeded No. 1, defeated Brazil's sixth-seeded Solberg and Marcio Araujo, 21-13, 21-19 in 40 minutes in Sunday's bronze medal match.
The Olympic champions now own Prague gold (2010), silver (2011) and bronze (2012).
In the bronze medal match strong serving Dalhausser, who scored three aces, kept the pressure on Marcio, which led to an easy win over the Brazilians.
"Marcio did not have his best game today. I know from experience how hard it is sometimes to get motivated after you lose the semifinal," Dalhausser said after his team had collected its 41st overall medal. Rogers celebrated his 100th World Tour event in Prague.
Brazil's Ricardo Santos and Pedro Cunha claimed their fourth FIVB SWATCH World Tour title as they beat last year's champions, Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego of Brazil, in three sets, 21-15 19-21 15-10.
After a week off the FIVB SWATCH World Tour resumes on June 6 with the Grand Slam in Moscow. That will be followed by the final match in the Olympic qualification period, the Rome Grand Slam on June 12-17.
While Dalhausser and Rogers have enough qualifying points to take the first United State's men's beach volleyball Olympic berth, the teams of Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.)/Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah)/Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) are still battling for the second spot.
Going into Moscow, Gibb and Rosenthal have a 40-point lead over Fuerbringer and Lucena.

Disney Made a Horrible Mistake
I haven't said a whole lot about the implications for Disney. That doesn't mean they're not interesting.
Even though the groundbreaking part doesn't begin until 2016 -- who knows what type of shape Netflix will be in at that point -- this is still big. Disney will provide first-run motion pictures to Netflix, an online streaming company, not a traditional premium pay-cable service.
In one respect, you can say it's all about Disney seeing the future: An on-demand world where "everybody" has Netflix streaming on their smartphones, tablets, computers and, maybe more importantly, their Internet-connected television sets. Sales of televisions that link with services such as Netflix continue to increase alongside streaming players like Apple (AAPL) TV and Roku.
And there's no question that Disney fleeced Netflix on this deal. It depends who you believe, but the estimates range between $200 million and $300 million per year. They could be higher.
To this point, content providers -- big companies such as CBS (CBS) -- bragged about padding revenue and juicing profits by only licensing Netflix (and Amazon.com (AMZN) ) content scraps. In other words, small, leftover portions of their catalogs they could not monetize through advertising or other worthwhile means.
That started to change just a little as Netflix became a more important outlet for popular cable series such as Mad Men . Put a notch on the bedpost for the company here -- Netflix established itself as a driver of ratings for cable. You discover past seasons of a show through your streaming plan and start watching fresh episodes as they air on cable.
Disney takes Netflix to a whole 'nother level. If Netflix can duplicate this type of deal multiple times -- and stay solvent -- look out.
The dust needs to settle, but, at the moment, it's a bad move by Disney.
I prefer the Time Warner (TWX) approach: Do your own digital offering and, until you absolutely must open it up, make it available exclusively to cable and satellite subscribers. So, say, Listen, we're going to put these flicks on our new premium HBO-like channel, "Disney movies" (does that already exist?) and you can stream them if you subscribe . Disney can make sure the channel gets cleared in loads of households by using the ESPN franchise as leverage.
Why break this golden cable/satellite model? It's so profitable for the content providers and, while there's a petty dispute here and there over fees, the cable and satellite companies aren't complaining that much.

Zias rope Cowgirls
December 18, 2008
It won't be a long break, but sophomore forward Til-Lois Fifer and the Eastern New Mexico University women's basketball team are ready for a little time off.
The Zias completed the early portion of their schedule Wednesday night with a 79-64 victory over New Mexico Highlands at Greyhound Arena, and take a 7-5 record into a short holiday layoff.
Fifer, who scored a career-high 19 points in a win over East Central on Sunday, finished with 18 points and a career-best 15 rebounds against the Cowgirls (1-8).
"I think we're all ready for the break, but it's good to get a win before you go into it," Fifer said.
Fifer scored the Zias' first five points, including a spectacular tip-in that put them up for good 5-3. Sophomore guard Cat Clay added 14 points and eight rebounds, sophomore post Kara Bible had 10 points and nine rebounds and freshman post Celeste Belizario came off the bench for 10 points for ENMU.
The Zias outscored Highlands 98-84 in mid-November at Las Vegas, N.M., but both teams played tougher defense this time.
"Fifer was impressive," said first-year NMHU coach Tiffany Darling, whose squad beat Oklahoma Panhandle State on Tuesday night to end a 17-game losing streak dating to last season. "She attacked the boards.
"We came into this thinking if we took care of their perimeter people, we'd have a pretty good shot. But their bigs ate us alive."
ENMU outrebounded the Cowgirls 55-37.
"We knew we had to keep (certain) people from shooting the 3 and get on the boards," Fifer said. "Our team is best when we execute and get on the boards. We didn't come in thinking this would be the same team we played at the beginning of the season."
The Cowgirls took their only lead at 3-2 on a 3-pointer by junior guard Jessica Armijo. They went to fullcourt pressure late trying to mount a comeback, but never got closer than 12 in the final eight minutes.
"I think it was a good overall team effort," Zias coach Linden Weese said. "Eighteen and 15, that's a good night in anyone's book.
"Belizario came off the bench and did a nice job. Defensively, I thought we did a pretty good job for the most part."
The Zias have played the past three games without starting guards Samantha Matta (back) and Lace Clark (knee). Weese is hoping to get them back when the team returns to practice on Dec. 27.
Junior guard Oliana Seanoa scored 23 points for the Cowgirls, but was held to 7-of-23 from the field. Sophomore post Desiree Valentine, who did not play in the earlier meeting, added 17 points and eight rebounds off the bench while Armijo finished with 14.
The Zias' next games are Dec. 30 against St. Mary's and Dec. 31 against Texas A&M-International, both in San Antonio.

Put up, or ….
To the editor:
Well, thus far the good folks at ARTA (Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates) have been pretty good at begging for signatures at trade shows, etc., and publishing letters. Other than that? Reopening the UMP (unit management plan), which will spend taxpayer money. Great. Maybe they could follow the lead of the rails-and-trails group in Tupper and actually build something – not a multi-use train station; that's already been done. How about using their 10,000 strong and actually helping build a trail in Tupper? I'm sure they'd get the support needed, but it would require them to actually do something.

quoteArctic Monkeys are an English indie rock band from High Green, a suburb of Sheffield. Formed in 2002, the band currently consists of Alex Turner on lead vocals and guitar, Jamie Cook on guitar, Matt Helders on drums and backing vocals and Nick O'Malley on bass guitar, a position formerly held by Andy Nicholson.
Arctic Monkeys achieved chart success with their first single, "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", which reached number one in the UK Singles Chart. Their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, released on 23 January 2006, was at the time the fastest-selling debut album in British music history, beating Oasis' Definitely Maybe. It remains the fastest-selling debut album for a group. It received critical acclaim, winning both the 2006 Mercury Prize and the 2007 Brit Award for Best British Album. The band's second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, was released on 23 April 2007, sold over 225,000 copies in its debut week, and was nominated for the 2007 Mercury Prize. The group also picked up the award for Best British Album and Best British Group at the Brit awards in 2008.
Arctic Monkeys achieved their success through fan-made demo tapes and online file sharing. They were heralded as one of the first acts to come to the public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed. The band eventually signed to the independent record label Domino Records.
quoteThe Band:Musical style
The lyrics of Arctic Monkeys' singles often feature social realism as typified by "A Certain Romance", which comments on chav and indie culture; and observations of working class life, as typified by "When the Sun Goes Down", described as a "witty, poignant song about prostitution in the Neepsend district of Sheffield", Based on their lyrical style, Arctic Monkeys have been compared to acts such as the British rapper Mike Skinner of The Streets and earlier artists such as Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker, both known for their combination of observational lyrics and humour.
The lead singer, Alex Turner sings in a strong Yorkshire accent, typified by the contraction of "something" to "summat", use of "dun't" (and not "don't") for "doesn't", use of "were" instead of "was", the replacement of "anything" and "nothing" with "owt" and "nowt", and the use of Yorkshire dialect such as "mardy" for "grumpy, difficult, unpredictable". Their songs also include frequent references to popular culture both common and obscure; Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not includes references to Romeo and Juliet (the Shakespeare play is also referenced in the track "Only Ones Who Know" from the Favourite Worst Nightmare album), Roxanne by The Police,and Frank Spencer, from Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, leading one journalist to describe the band as having a "camp retro-futurist fascination" for 1980s popular culture.
quote BolloAhhh, I knew I heard he produced one of them. I wiki'd Suck It and See and seen he didn't produce it so assumed I was just misinformed.R U Mine? is actually going to be on their next album, so you were technically right EricF. Do I Wanna Know? is a great song though, even if I've heard it so many times now I'm getting a little bit bored. Humbug's the one that sounds more like QOTSA as well, there's a few on Suck It and See but Humbug's the one generally acknowledged to have the most QOTSA influence since it was produced by Josh Homme.

ATVs on rail trail — an issue but not a problem
In the debate over the best use of the Adirondack rail corridor, one frequent objection to removing the rails is that all-terrain vehicles will then be able to "run wild" on the corridor. Observations of ATV use on other long-abandoned rail corridors make this a legitimate concern, but those routes were never thought of as recreational trails for which there would be only certain designated uses.
From the beginning, Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates has made it clear that non-snow uses will be strictly non-motorized. ARTA has also emphasized that the corridor is owned by the state and that ATVs are prohibited on state land in the Adirondacks.
That said, ARTA's plan for the trail does not ignore this issue and recommends that a relatively few, strategically placed gates will be adequate to prevent illegal access. Remember that there are numerous narrow causeways and rock cuts where a gate can easily and effectively stop illegal users from going very far. The accompanying photo shows a gate on the abandoned D&H railroad grade at the north end of the Bloomingdale Bog. Note that there is no evidence that any vehicle has managed to get around this gate (and a few well-placed boulders), and there is no evidence of vehicular tracks inside the gate.
Those who have raised an objection to removing the tracks, for fear of encouraging ATV trespass on the corridor, have often ascribed to ATVers superhuman powers when it comes to destroying gates, but I would further note there is no evidence of even such an attempt on this Bloomingdale Bog gate. When there is sufficient snow, however, that gate is opened to permit snowmobile traffic.
There are also examples of other rail trails that would argue against the need for even one gate. For instance, I have ridden the 77-mile Greenbrier River Trail in West Virginia, in many ways comparable to our proposed rail trail, and saw no evidence of ATV use. Yet all they did there was to post small wooden signs announcing that motorized vehicles are prohibited. This was despite the fact that the trail passed by houses that had ATVs parked in the yard. When I asked, our shuttle driver did say that occasionally a few ATVs "got loose" on the trail at night, but that illegal use was not a problem because the local residents recognized that the rail trail was helping the community.
The popular Lehigh Gorge rail trail in Pennsylvania also showed no evidence of ATV use – again with just signs and no gates. In both cases, frequent use by walkers, bikers and joggers had essentially driven out any illegal motorized use. The same principle will apply here. On the 90-mile Adirondack Rail Trail connecting Lake Placid and Old Forge, there will be more than enough legitimate users on the corridor to effectively police the trail against ATV trespassers.
Closer to home, my own experience with the construction of the Jackrabbit Ski Trail that runs from Keene to Paul Smiths confirms that non-motorized users will prevent illegal motorized use once the non-motorized use is established. In our first few years of operation, there were problems with snowmobile trespass between Lake Placid and Craig Wood Golf Course, plus dirt bike use closer to town on Fawn Ridge. At one time, there were four gates protecting sections of the Jackrabbit Trail from motorized use. Over time, however, as gate posts rotted or the trail was relocated, we did not replace three of these gates, but motorized use has not become an issue. The one remaining gate is probably no longer needed, either.
Undoubtedly, there will initially be a few problems with illegal use of the Adirondack Rail Trail. However, regulations specific to the trail and clear signage will allow for effective enforcement, and if the experience with other rail trails is any guide, the problem will over time diminish practically to the vanishing point.

Cleo Bosworth, 98, Webster City
Cleo Bosworth, 98, of Webster City, died Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at Crestview Nursing and Rehabilitation. Funeral services will be Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. at the Foster Chapel, with Rev. Richard Laird officiating. Burial will be in the Cass Township Cemetery, north of Webster City. Visitation will be at the Foster Funeral and Cremation Center from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. prior to the service.
Cleo Letha Pletcher, daughter of Ralph and Evelyn Knight Pletcher, was born December 28, 1913 on a farm northeast of Goldfield. She was the second of eight children. She received her education through the 8th grade in the Dayton Center rural school in Wright County and graduated from Clarion high school in 1932. On February 22, 1933, she married Clair Henry Bosworth at her parents home in Dayton Township of Wright County. The couple made their home on a farm in Cass Township (the Underwood farm). In 1960, they bought the Northrup farm, still in Cass Township. Clair died of a massive heart attack on November 6, 1971. Cleo continued to reside on the family farm. She had resided at Crestview Apartments since September of 1997.
Mrs. Bosworth is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, John and Anne Bosworth of Palm Desert, CA; Kenneth and Judith Bosworth of Anacortes, WA; daughters and sons-in-law, Caralyn and Ronald Clark of Indianapolis, IN; LeeAnn and Dale Winters of Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, Canada; Peyton Canary III of Cedar City, UT; 19 grandchildren; 41 great-grandchildren; 23 great-great-grandchildren; sister, Evea Laurisch of Downers Grove, IL; several nieces and nephews; Arnold Odland, a longtime friend and farming partner who was like a son to Cleo and a brother to the Bosworth family.
In addition to her husband, Cleo was preceded in death by daughters and son-in-law, Beverly Canary; Sheryll and James Whitworth; granddaughter, Cynthia Canary; great-grandchildren, Chantel and Samantha Kennedy; brother, Eldon Pletcher; sisters, Geneva Pletcher, Charlotte Amosson, Irene Kolbeck, Eva Peyton and Eura Marrs.
She was a member of the New Testament Church of Christ and previously the Webster City Church of Christ where she had taught Sunday school for many years. She was active as a 4-H leader for 19 years, served on the 4-H Youth Council, worked where needed at the Hamilton County Fair, volunteered through RSVP at local care centers, was a member of the Okay Club, enjoyed quilting, crafts, needlepoint, jigsaw puzzles and loved being around her family. Cleo was a productive homemaker and farmer's wife all her time on the farms. She taught her children to serve others and love the Lord. She enjoyed taking many trips over the years, all over the United States and at least three visits to Scotland where her youngest daughter, LeeAnn and her family lived. Well into her 90's, she was able to stay in touch with her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren on their birthdays and anniversaries. She had a gift for hospitality which many college students, missionaries, neighbors and friends have enjoyed through the years.

In Hollywood Style, Fiscal Cliff Will Be Averted, Market Will Rally
Maybe that's why MTV never gets credit for inventing the entire medium. Because Washington did, immediately after somebody shot RFK.
The entire governmental apparatus, alongside a handful of advertising agencies, is keen to what goes down. They're actively-participating covert stars of the big screen disguised as public servants. Each of us watches on the virtual boob tube that is our life.
Only the top Fortune 500 executives know the drill. Everybody else -- high- and low-level employees, the media, investors, you, me -- has no idea that the reality we're watching is not real -- or, at least not organic and authentic.
It's a highly choreographed performance, tweaked on the fly to keep you watching and reacting with everything from anxiety to anger to sadness.
It costs people money. It costs them jobs. It makes some commit suicide. Others leave the country. Burn the flag. Join the military. Blow themselves up in a crowded square.
It's a bad ass version of what Michael Douglas apparently went through in "The Game."
With that in mind, rest assured, the fiscal cliff everybody is freaking out about will be averted.
These cats in Washington have you on the edge of your seat.
Relax. Start the office pool now. Pick the day between now and the end of the year when the Breaking News hits that ...
President Obama and Congressional leaders have reached ... either a deal or a "stop-gap measure" to keep the nation from going over the fiscal cliff.
I'll take somewhere in the first week of December. Actually, give me Friday, November 30th. Producers in Washington get kicks watching "Saturday Night Live" and "Meet The Press" scramble to rearrange their lineups.
Quick. Call Cramer! See if he can come on this weekend if the Eagles aren't at home!
The spectacle would actually be fun to watch if it wasn't for this nagging notion in the back of my mind that my cynicism is off-base.
What if they're not just waiting for the right moment to lay the breaking news on us and set off the strongest Santa Claus rally we have seen on the stock market in ages?
That's a concern.
However, as I watch a stock like Apple (AAPL) trade -- settling, as much as AAPL ever settles, in the low $540s -- all I can think is breakout.
Parabolic runs.
There's not a politician in the world who wants to deal with the fallout from doing nothing this time around. Watch the news, man. They're setting up a compromise. You can hear it in the voices of our "leaders."

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the Opening Session of the World Economic Forum
Dead Sea, Jordan
20 May 2005
Professor Schwab, may I say on behalf of everyone here, thank you for believing in our region and people. You have always said that dialogue is the door to the future. And you have helped open that door for all of us. Rania and I, and the people of Jordan, are honoured to have you among us again.
Two years ago, in this place, we set out to create a new future; a future of promise for the Middle East. Last year, we carried that effort forward, reaching out to leaders from all sectors – public, private, and civil society. Now, we meet again, to build on that progress – and what we achieve here can bring benefits to our entire region.
It is, truly, time to "seize the moment." Never has there been greater opportunity for progress. Never has there been a greater sense of agreement that the future is in our hands. Today, positive change is in the air across the region. And many of you have played a leading role.
Success begins with an optimising vision: what the Middle East can be, and must be, to meet the needs of our people: a region of peace and stability. Opportunity-rich. With governments that empower and serve. A strong society that draws on its positive Islamic heritage and faith. A global pace-setter in economic life.
This is a future worthy of all our citizens. But it is especially important for our young people. Arab youth need and deserve a world where they can reach their potential – to be full partners in global advancement – and build a secure future for themselves and their families.
My friends, these are not small goals. To achieve them, we need a winning strategy. Vision must be translated into concrete action. You – who have succeeded at the highest levels in business and in civic action – you know what this requires. Unified action. Clear and definite goals. Programs that focus on results. And standards and timetables to keep us moving forward.
These are all elements of a critical initiative, begun right here last year. "Vision 2010 for the Arab World" was developed by leaders from the private sector and civil society. Together, they identified goals for our region, goals reflecting our own people's interests and values. The Arab public was surveyed to get their views and concerns. A practical plan was developed, ensuring progress can be benchmarked, monitored, and assessed.
These reforms are comprehensive – including good government, education, economic growth, and more. And there's an explicit time-frame – the year 2010 – for realistic and meaningful action.
Vision 2010 is no academic exercise. It is an effort for the whole Middle East to create its own positive change. That demands a real-world process: specific steps that can be implemented by regional governments and civil society.
Now, it is up to you. Over the next two days, there will be panel sessions where you discuss what is needed.
Your action can have a huge impact. In the region, you will help forge consensus on specific reforms. On the global scene, you will be encouraging support for the Arab world's initiatives. This is especially important in view of the next G-8 Summit, which will take place in less than two months. It is expected to issue a statement supporting home-grown Middle East reform, a statement that can be an important bridge between Arab and Western views.
Let me say, Jordan itself is deeply engaged in the process of reform. Our objective is a future that will meet the aspirations of our people. And we have taken bold action. In the economy, we have spurred growth and effective development. In the political sphere, we are embedding the values of good governance, human rights and the rule of law.
We know that effective reform must be an ongoing and inclusive process. So we have created a non-partisan National Agenda Committee with leaders from across society. It is defining national priorities in all fields – political, economic and social. Those priorities, the people's priorities, will be guidelines for the government's reform agenda over the next 10 years. We are also working to vest real decision-making power with citizens themselves. Local legislative councils will help regions set their own development priorities. All these are significant steps in giving people a stake in reform and the great future it will deliver.
My friends,
This Forum must also face the realities of peace and conflict. Regional instability remains a major barrier to sustainable development and prosperity. Failing to solve this issue is simply not an option.
Yes, there are deep challenges. But there are also significant opportunities. This year has already seen Palestinians and Israelis re-commit to move forward in the peace process. Another positive signal is the recent agreement on the Red Sea-Dead Sea Canal – the "Peace Conduit." Jordan worked with both sides on this project, which will enhance water and energy security and protect the environment for all.
We must ensure that this and other practical projects come off the drawing board. And we must marshal every effort to bring peace to the region as a whole. There must be a lasting, just solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: two states living beside each other in peace and security. And we must support a stable, unified Iraq – helping its people as they build a dynamic economy and an inclusive society.
Two days ago, I was pleased to open the historic Petra Conference of Nobel Laureates. These outstanding thinkers brought a fresh perspective to today's urgent problems. Later today, the meeting's co-host, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, will tell you about their work. One important result, I hope, will be to inspire all people to reject limits on their vision for the future. And no vision is more important than yours.
Business experts say that when a company needs to adjust to new challenges, the most effective leaders may already be inside the company, they are the inside visionaries: the people who can see a positive future – and how to make it real. They have a level of insight and a commitment that just can't come from an outsider.
They call these visionaries "change agents." Well, my friends, you are the change agents for our region. Your vision, your drive, your expertise, can make our best possibilities real.
In the next few days, I encourage you to share your ideas boldly. I challenge you to come up with a process to make those ideas reality. And I ask you to seize the moment – to go forward together, to make a difference, to create a new future for all.
Thank you very much.

Art exhibit to highlight mission of reentry taskforce
The Columbus Dispatch - January 02, 2013 02:57 PM
Franklin County Commissioner Marilyn Brown today put out a call for artists to compete in a juried art show of works created by former prisoners.
Titled "Sidebars - Art Reintegrated and Reinterpreted," the exhibit will feature art produced while the artists were in prison and a reinterpretation of that artwork now that they have been released. The artists must have been formerly incarcerated for at least six months in either a jail or prison, but can no longer be incarcerated in order to enter the show.
Artists chosen for the exhibit will display a piece they completed while incarcerated, and then a second piece that reinterprets the subject of the original work now that they have been released.
The show also will help to illustrate the work of the county's Reentry Task Force, which has worked since 2009 to lower recidivism rates in Franklin County by connecting prisoners with the resources they need to successfully transition back to the community from incarceration. The task force created a website last year to help its outreach efforts.
"Reentry and reintegration involves a new way of thinking," Brown wrote in an email. "By physically demonstrating the new perspectives of the formerly incarcerated, we will be able to show just how transformative reentry efforts can and should be. There is no better way to display and reinforce this message than by showcasing their reinterpreted artwork in this very public venue."
Winning artists will be notified by mid-February, and the show is expected to be held in the fall.
The show will hang in a public space, and artwork that depicts adult language, references to racism or hate speech, graphic violence or are sexually explicit will not be accepted. The show's jury reserves the right to refuse to display any accepted piece for any reason.
To apply, artists need to submit a digital image of the artwork they completed during incarceration, as well as a description or concept of the reinterpreted piece. Artists also need to include their full name and date of birth, as well as their previous incarceration dates, location of incarceration and the offenses for which they were convicted. The information will be made public as part of the show.
Submissions should be sent to Michael Daniels, Aide to Commissioner Marilyn Brown, 373 S. High St., 26th Floor, Columbus, OH 43215, or firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline to apply is Jan. 25.
Artists accepted into the show will receive help getting their artwork ready for display, but no financial awards will be given as part of the show.
Interested artists can email Daniels for more information.

Traditionally-Designed Urban Community
Project Categories: Residential, New Construction, Special Needs, Ultra Series
Featured Kolbe Products
- Traditional design
- Two-tone exterior color scheme
- 3" wide exterior brickmould
"Kolbe's windows [help] accomplish our goal of creating a true town ... that will stand the test of time and an architectural appeal that radiates timeless character and charm," said Greg Whittaker, developer.
|Project Information
Urban Development Features Traditional Design
Walking to the store for a gallon of milk, playing a quick pre-dinner game of ball at the park, biking to the coffee shop for a quick lunch with friends, visiting with neighbors on the front porch. These are the picturesque results of new urbanism exemplified by Whittaker Homes on the massive, 750-acre, New Town at St. Charles in Missouri. Developers and designers around the world watch with interest and awe as the first residents of New Town transform a philosophical plan into a living, working reality. Already sensing its success, Whittaker is looking to duplicate the 'New Town' concept in other areas of the country.
In December 2005, New Town celebrated the completion of Year One in the construction of this 15-year building project. Phase Two is underway and at least eight more phases are scheduled before 2020 when the former farmland will be covered with ten distinctive, pedestrian-friendly, neighborhoods.
Designed by Florida-based new urbanism champions Duany, Plater-Zyber & Company (DPZ), New Town will feature civic green-space and lakes, community centers and churches, specialty shops and general stores, small restaurants and cafés. Residences range from single-family homes and cottages, to senior courtyard homes, live/work units and town homes.
Every building embraces a modern interpretation of the familiar, small-town comforts and presents high-tech amenities with 19th century styling. Differentiated from other mixed-use, multi-family subdivisions, New Town's construction relies on uncommonly high quality materials – such as Kolbe window and doors – to articulate DPZ's unified, yet personalized design plan for Whittaker Homes.
New Town's developer Greg Whittaker recalls, "When the Kolbe representative presented the windows, the first thing that caught my attention was the bottom window sash; it was more traditional than anything else on the market and perfectly complemented the architecture of The New Town at St. Charles. Once I researched the quality of the construction and the variety of trim colors, I knew Kolbe was the right supplier for New Town."
"Kolbe also allows for the flexibility that is necessary in a new urbanism community," continues Whittaker. "We have several different housing types in New Town. We need a supplier that can work with us to provide a vast array of window sizes and colors."
Reviewing Kolbe's near-limitless options, Whittaker was especially intrigued by the dual-color finish options, which allow for separate colors for the frame and the sash. Along with the wide palette of prescribed finishes, Kolbe's aluminum clad wood windows and doors were selected in specified sizes, trims and grille patterns to communicate New Town's architectural aesthetic across all its buildings and homes.
"...this still is a lot broader range of options and a much higher quality product than we see most developers offer," says Jack Meldrem of Missouri-based distributor E-Blok. Kolbe's wood windows and doors are exceptionally crafted, almost custom-made. Selecting these products as the standard for New Town speaks volumes about the quality built into this development."
Ensuring Kolbe's quality craftsmanship could be delivered at an accelerated pace, E-Blok worked closely with Whittaker, his architects and his purchasing department for nearly two years before placing the first order. "We started working on this back when it was just a thought in the boss's mind. I've known Jack for years and I think he does an excellent job," says Rick Freymuth, purchasing agent for Whittaker Homes.
Meldrem and his staff remain flexible and available, reviewing each order for accuracy, and talking almost every day with the Kolbe sales and fabrication representatives. He notes that this collaboration is essential given the fast-track timelines: "Typically, we work with homeowners and builders on large, single family homes. It's not unusual to have the design and construction process take 18 to 24 months. Most homes in New Town are built in three to six months."
As of February 2006, New Town's community included more than 600 sold housing units plus civic and commercial buildings. "When we discovered the magnitude of the project, we were flabbergasted," says Meldrem. "We have changed our business to be more responsive than ever before. It's an enormous undertaking."
"It is a sight to behold," agrees Mike Salsieder, President of Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork, Co., Inc. "Outside of our production facilities in Wausau, Wisconsin, I've never seen so many of our products in one place at one time. We're very proud of Kolbe and E-Blok's contributions to this exciting development and we look forward to many more years of working together with Whittaker Homes."
Greg Whittaker echoes this sentiment: "New Town is a 12- to 15-year project and will eventually result in 5,700 units. As the architecture evolves, each one of the ten phases will take on a character of its own. Kolbe's windows are one of many products that accomplish our goal of creating a true town with quality materials that will stand the test of time and an architectural appeal that radiates timeless character and charm."

My heroes of the 140th InfantryPosted Friday, February 11, 2011, at 12:26 PM
Life has it's ways of taking and making its twists and turns.
I have known this most of my life, but as I get older I discover
it even more so. I also learn on a daily basis that it is truly
"a small world after all."
As you know, my office with Dexter Realty and now my little
gift shop are both located in the "old Worley building" on
Walnut Street. Well, Dad had told me several years ago that
he spent his last couple nights in this building before being
sent off to war. Isn't it ironic that I now work in the same building
that he spent time in as a young soldier? I sometimes get chills
of delight and comfort and I feel so close to him.
I wasn't aware until recently that this building was the national
guard armory at that time. Often times I sit in my office and
imagine a group of young soldiers upstairs, one of them my future
father, laughing and cutting up, yet with unspoken fear in their hearts
of what they were about to face in the near future.
Dad had told me he left from this building to go to Little Rock, but
I had never spoken with anyone in detail who was with Dad at that
time until recently.
I spent some time talking with Leo Tibbs and Clyde Vaughn Sr. about
the time they spent with Dad. They both remembered staying in this
old building as young soldiers. They, along with Dad were in the
140th infantry and left from here and went to Little Rock and from there
to California where they eventually were shipped out to different parts
of the world to perform their duties in World War II.
Leo was, I think he called it "first cook." He kept our boys well fed and
later as owner of the renowned Hickory House restaurant, he kept a lot
of us well fed. Remember the pies? Oh, by the way, I worked for Leo
my senior year as hostess at the Hickory House. Thanks Leo for the
opportunity and thanks even more for being a good friend to my precious
dad during a sad time.
I grew up hearing Dad talk about Clyde Vaughn Sr. saving his life in the
Pacific while they were in California. Dad said he got caught in a riptide
and Clyde pulled him out, therefore, according to Dad, saving his life. I
suppose that incident is why Dad always told us kids to "learn to swim
before you go in the water."
I talked with Clyde and he verified this was his job as a life guard. Jesus
knew Mom and us kids would need this most precious man for husband and
father. So, thank you Clyde for helping make this happen.
Another neat thing is that these three men returned to Dexter and had children
who were friends and school mates. Clyde Jr. and I graduated together.
I must insert here that Jesus saved Dad several times for us during that terrible
war. I don't know much about most of them.
I know Dad was in Germany and told the story of walking and climbing a hill
all day. Just as they reached the top he was shot. He spent the next three
months in a hospital. Upon his release he was put on a ship to be sent home.
While on the ship it was torpedoed by an enemy. This torpedo landed right
by Dad's bed. It was a "dud." Miracle? I think yes.
Dad came home in a body cast and that's the way he was when he and Mom met.
They fell in love and were married for sixty years.
I'm sure there are more of you heros who were in the 140th infantry from Dexter
during that time. I would love to know who you are.
Oh yeah. Dad's in Heaven now "waitin' on a woman." (song and video by
Brad Paisley and Andy Griffeth.)
I'm sure you know by now my heros for this column are the men of the 140th infantry
of Dexter during World War II.
See ya next time somewhere in a "korner."

Kathleen is a resident of Dexter. She was born in Indiana, but her parents moved their family back to the Dexter area when she was three. Other than three years she and her husband, Collin, lived in St. Charles, Mo. and ten years in Birmingham, Alabama, she has spent her life in Dexter. As you can tell, Kathleen is a people person and believes in giving credit to whom credit is due. Thus, the reason for her hero/heroine column every other week in Kathleen's Korner. As you can tell, she also like to have fun, most of the time at her own expense. Kathleen (Grubbs) is a 1964 graduate of Dexter High School and invites her friends to her "Korner."
