Affordable vac packing 9/26/2008
The ZipVac Portable Food Storage System is a new, unique and portable vacuum-packaging appliance for food or other items that need protection. It consists of reusable, freezable, microwavable, boilable, patented ZipVac bags, a portable, rechargeable electric vacuum pump and small manual hand-held pump which fit the patented valve system.
The ZipVac storage system was such a hit at the recent 2008 International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST) show in Las Vegas, that it was awarded Best New Fishing Accessory from among dozens of new products.
"The ZipVac system is so simple to use," said CTI chairman John Schwan. "Other vacuum-packing products use big machines, open-ended bags and heat welding, and are limited to home use. With ZipVac you just load it, zip, then remove as much air as you like with either the rechargeable electric pump or small manual unit."
Vacuum packaging does not replace refrigeration or freezing. Perishable foods should still be stored properly. However, when vacuum packaged, food will last up to five times longer.
ZipVac kits are available in stores in a convenient box with lightweight manual and rechargeable pumps and a supply of ZipVac bags in a variety of sizes. The suggested retail price is $39.95 and additional storage bags are sold separately.

"National Hunting and Fishing Day works to increase participation in angling and other outdoor sports, an important goal that our organization shares," said Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF) president and CEO Frank Peterson. "We are pleased to promote this event that highlights the tremendous contribution these activities make to our economy and fish and wildlife management through fishing license sales and excise taxes on boating and fishing supplies."
Congress formalized National Hunting and Fishing Day in 1971 as a way to recognize hunters, anglers and conservation. The annual celebration promotes and builds public support for outdoor lifestyles. Wonders of Wildlife provides communications tools, event-planning tips, promotional items and free online resources to help build public appreciation for hunters and anglers.
Outdoor television star Michael Waddell (pictured) will serve as honorary chairman for this year's National Hunting and Fishing Day, which has an official home at the Wonders of Wildlife museum in Springfield, Mo.
"The key message behind this day is that conservation succeeds only because of America's 34 million hunters and anglers," said National Hunting and Fishing Day program coordinator Denise Wagner. "The nationwide celebration is enjoying growth in enthusiasm and participation and, I believe, influence on public support for outdoor lifestyles."

Hunters still read 9/26/2008
A majority of American hunters subscribe to at least two outdoor magazines, according to a recent survey.
In an August 2008 survey by HunterSurvey.com that asked hunters how many magazine subscriptions they have, two-thirds (about 67%) reported subscribing to two or more outdoor magazines. Only 14% reported that they have no outdoor magazine subscriptions at all.
The breakdown of responses was as follows: five or more magazine subscriptions, 16%; four subscriptions, 11%; three subscriptions, 17%; two subscriptions, 23% (the largest single response); and one subscription, 18%.

NHF Day in Germany 9/24/2008
Sometimes the best way to appreciate a special privilege is to imagine life without it. In recognition of American soldiers serving far from home this autumn, the U.S. Army is hosting a National Hunting and Fishing Day celebration at its Heidelberg Rod and Gun Club near the U.S. military base in Heidelberg, Germany.
This lone overseas commemoration of National Hunting and Fishing Day is set for Sept. 27 to coincide with hundreds of events across the U.S. Visit www.NHFDay.org for listings.
Congress formalized the day in 1971 as a public reminder that hunters, anglers and shooters are America's premier conservation supporters. Through licenses and excise taxes, they now generate $100,000 every 30 minutes for fish, wildlife and habitat programs.
"This year, let National Hunting and Fishing Day also be a remembrance of those whose service to our country will prevent them from joining us afield this fall. On Sept. 27, think about America's outdoor freedoms, their benefits to conservation and the sacrifices that make it all possible," said Denise Wagner of Wonders of Wildlife museum.
Wonders of Wildlife, in Springfield, Mo., is the official home and coordinator of National Hunting and Fishing Day.
Jennifer L. King of the Heidelberg Rod & Gun Club advisory council said: "Our event is a volunteer-driven celebration for U.S. soldiers, military civilians, contractors, German sportsmen and their families. National Hunting and Fishing Day is an American celebration, but sportsmen everywhere enjoy sharing the camaraderie and traditions of hunting and fishing. We're thrilled that our German community will be joining us."
The event will feature informational exhibits, fishing games for kids, a BB fun shoot and competition, archery demonstrations and lessons, a trophy show complete with judging and prizes, food, games and attractions.
Along with the fun, King hopes the event will raise awareness of hunters and anglers throughout the military. Many U.S. soldiers stationed at Heidelberg have seen combat in multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Others have served in places like Kosovo in support of NATO missions.
"This is a chance for them to take a break, remember their hunting and fishing experiences back home, and tell some tall tales," King said.
New hunters forum 9/24/2008
Hunters who feel like their opinions on important issues are being ignored now have a place to make their voices heard. NRA�s all-hunting website, www.NRAHuntersRights.org, has unveiled a new interactive section that will allow hunters to share their opinions on hot-button hunting issues.
The new section, titled, �Open Season � A Forum for All Hunters,� offers a place for hunters to weigh in on some of the most serious issues that threaten hunting rights. NRA will introduce the topics, stand back, and allow hunters to post their comments and debate amongst themselves.
Of course, you are welcome to submit topics for discussion, too. If your state is thinking about implementing a new hunting law that restricts your freedom, or if you feel that your hunting rights are being trampled by animal rights groups, just submit your topic via our online forum, and it could be the next one up for discussion. Hunters are invited to visit the forum often and are encouraged to leave as many posts as they�d like.
18 teens selected 9/23/2008
The Olympic torch in Beijing has barely cooled, but preparation is already underway for the 2012 games in London. Eighteen shooting-sports hopefuls from 11 states have been selected for intensive training and evaluation Oct. 8-12 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Teen trap and skeet shooters selected for the 2008 Junior Olympic Development Camp are:
> Arizona � Adam DiCerbo, 16, Scottsdale (skeet); Nicolas DiCerbo, 13, Scottsdale (skeet); Kyle Johnson, 16, Phoenix (skeet).
> Arkansas � Cord Riley, 17, Hindsville (trap).
> California � Ashley Carroll, 14, Solvang (trap); Richard Riddle, 15, Bonsall (skeet); Wesley Scoble, 17, Oakland (trap); Tristan Woolacott, 15, Sacramento (trap).
> Connecticut � Trevor Harvey, 18, New Canaan (trap).
> Idaho � Shawn Cahoon, 15, Pocatello (trap).
> Illinois � Brett Bachmann, 16, Highland Park (trap); Kelcey DePatis, 17, Donovan (trap).
> Michigan � Nicholas Sage, 15, Saranac (skeet).
> New York � Kevin Corser, 18, Holly (skeet).
> Pennsylvania � Jacob Gogno, 18, Pottsville (trap).
> Tennessee � Cory Smith, 15, Shelbyville (trap); Ryan Stewart, 17, Nashville (trap).
> Texas � Shelby White, 15, Littlefield (trap).
"All of these top young talents were selected from the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP), the 8-year-old national shooting league that produced two medalists for the U.S. in Beijing," said Zach Snow of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which selected camp attendees in partnership with USA Shooting.
SCTP alumni Vincent Hancock (Eatonton, Ga.) and Corey Cogdell (Eagle River, Alaska) won gold in men's skeet and bronze in women's trap, respectively, in Beijing. Their medals were two of the six won by the U.S. in shooting sports.
In 2008, 9,135 youths competed and 1,562 adults volunteered as coaches and directors � both new records for SCTP. Selection for the Junior Olympic Development Camp involved an application and interview process.
At the camp, athletes will work with U.S. Olympic coaches to hone skills in the international style of skeet and trap shooting. Daily training starts early and goes late. Daytime drills help shooters fine-tune skills and help coaches identify athletes with special aptitude as well as attitude. Evening classroom work teaches goal setting, team structure and preparing physically and mentally for high-level competition.
Attendees will be housed in the Olympic athlete dormitories and fed in the athlete cafeteria alongside scores of other Olympic hopefuls from many different sports.
Seven volunteer SCTP coaches from five states also have been invited to attend the camp to learn advanced skills in coaching shooting sports. Invitees are:
> Arizona � Scott Fritz, 42, Mesa (skeet); Thomas Slaughter, 71, Tempe (trap).
> Arkansas � Steven Johnson, 37, Mountainburg (trap).
> California � Laurence Sifers, 52, Huntington Beach (skeet).
> Illinois � Brian Bachmann, 50, Wilmette (trap); William Marquardt, 52, Deerfield (skeet).
> Washington � Tom Langley, 64, Bellingham (trap).
Six soldiers invited 9/22/2008
Six shotgunners from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit will travel to Europe next week to compete in the prestigious International Sports Shooting Federation World Cup Final. Sgts. 1st Class Theresa E. DeWitt, Joetta R. Dement and Mark L. Weeks and Spcs. Walton Glenn Eller III, Jeffrey G. Holguin and Vincent C. Hancock will compete at the elite World Cup Finals Sept. 24-30 in Minsk, Belarus.
The ISSF only invites the top shooters in the world to compete in this exclusive match, which is the traditional closing competition of the international shooting season.
Eller, Hancock and Holguin are all 2008 Olympians. At the Beijing Olympics, Eller won the gold medal in double trap and Hancock took the gold in skeet. Holguin barely missed the bronze in double trap and finished 4th.
DeWitt, a 1996 Olympian, won the silver medal and an Olympic quota slot at the World Cup USA in 2006. Dement, a two-time Olympic alternate, was the 2007 women's trap national champion and 2008 silver medlaist. Weeks was the skeet 2008 Olympic alternate and will become the U.S. shotgun team coach when he leaves the Army Oct. 11.
Formed in 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to raise the standards of marksmanship throughout the U.S. Army, the Army Marksmanship Unit is assigned to the Accessions Support Brigade of the U.S. Army Accessions Command. For more information, visit www.USAMU.com.

NSSP tabs Galbiati 9/16/2008
He was with Atlanta-based JDC for the past 8 years. During that time, JDC became recognized for successfully executing sponsorship and marketing programs in bass fishing for Fortune 500 companies. He started as JDC's sports marketing director and then became vice president.
Prior to joining JDC, he was the motorsports marketing director for Primedia Communications, which served as the agency of record for NASCAR, Inc. at the time. In his new position, he'll focus on increasing sales and partnerships for the national organization.
The NSSP is a non-profit organization designed to educate outdoor enthusiasts in middle and high schools through the strengthening of character, leadership skills, respect for life and the promotion of conservation in the woods and waterways. The national headquarters is in Paducah, Ky.
"We are very excited to have Pete in this new role," said NSSP founder and president Cliff Flournoy. "The timing is perfect as we just signed an agreement with a national TV network that is really going to increase our exposure and awareness. At the same time, our number of participating schools is growing as fast as we can keep up with."
Through NSSP instructional DVDs, materials and activities, the club encourages the sportsmen and sportswomen of tomorrow by providing the essential knowledge and opportunities needed to preserve our outdoor heritage. While doing this, the group is also able to make a difference in the lives of individual students. In only its 3rd school year, the club currently has members and schools in 45 states and reaches approximately 10,000 students through its program.
"This is a great opportunity for me: the program is unbelievable" said Galbiati, "It fills a huge void in the marketplace for companies wanting to reach the youth market and at the same time, the educational and conservational message that we are able to communicate to the young people is essential.
We have the ability to really make a difference � not only in the lives of individuals, but generationally by connecting with students when they are young. The lessons we can teach will last them a lifetime and can be passed down to their children and grandchildren."

The Special Recognition Award is given to individuals who have a distinguished record of accomplishment.
"Everyone knows of Dave's commitment and devotion to fish and wildlife conservation through his work with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, as well as his leadership in the conservation community," said Matt Hogan, executive director of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. "But he also helped our broader community define, focus and mature our Farm Bill proposals and played an instrumental role in the maturation and enactment of the Farm Bill this year.
"We thank him for his tireless dedication to reauthorization of the Farm Bill and to the conservation of fish, wildlife and their habitats."
Said Nomsen: "This is quite an honor. I work with a special group of people that have a shared passion. When I look at this award, I'll think of people like my father, who spent his entire career working for the Iowa Conservation Commission, and my mentor Bill Baxter Sr., a longtime wildlife biologist with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, people who devoted their lives to conservation. And because of them, I devoted mine to the cause as well."
Nomsen is pictured here along with son Jason.
Confused by chokes? 9/13/2008

Topic: Shrinkage!!!!
So very happy to be posting in this section !!
Finally met my doc yesterday to get the results from my MRI done almost two weeks ago.
After 6 rounds of GemCis there was shrinkage, my big tumor had gone from 4,7 cm to 4,1 cm.
He told me he never saw someone like me as he'd been so sure this time there would be no shrinkage, but growth. This because of the growth after the embolization I did in April.
This proves my theories works though... After this last embo I was in such a pain and with high fever for a week, my liverenzyms were high as well. As I'm quite experienced with embos (my 6th) and never was this sick, I was so sure the chemo didn't stay in the tumor but damaged the healthy livertissue. They used smaller beads this time.
Both me and the doctor are quite sure though the shrinkage isn't only due to the GemCis but also the way I live and all the other things I do.
I can't express how happy and grateful I am!!! It would have been so strange with growing tumors when I feel this well!
So now this mini-vacation from chemo is over and I will give it another chance!
Love and hope to EVERYBODY <3
Ps I told my doctor I think he and I should run Stockholm marathon next June, and he simply did a high five He IS a runner, but never did a marathon. NOTHING is going to stop me from that!!!!!!!

Just before the November presidential election, market folks had a mantra: Just wait until after the election -- then we'll have clarity. At the time I noted that, to these people, clarity did not mean an actual winner at the end of the election. Rather, it meant a green light to be bullish. We did get clarity, but we didn't get the green light to be bullish -- because, even after we got a winner, the "fiscal cliff" loomed.
I hear much of the same sentiment now, as well: Once we see a deal on the fiscal cliff, these folks say, we'll have clarity. They are not concerned with when the deal actually arrives, or with what the deal is, because they are certain it will occur at some point. Rather, they once again believe "clarity" means a green light to buy, and that it doesn't necessarily mean a thorough deal getting done.
Yet can you just see it all now? Let's say Congress manages to patch together a deal and the debt ceiling is not part of it. Won't we be right back to a lack of clarity until that issue is resolved?
Maybe we should call this the Roseanne Rosannadanna market -- "It's always something."
Before I get to the intermediate-term market indicators, let's talk about the very near term. The market is a little bit oversold, as it has been red for six of the last seven trading days. If the indices stay in the red for another session or two, that would forge a decent oversold condition -- and my Oscillator, which is based on the 10-day moving average of the advance-decline line, would reach a much "better" short-term oversold condition.
If the market comes down hard for the next day or two -- meaning an advance-decline line of at least 2:1 negative -- the just-rolled-over McClellan Summation Index would reach what's typically considered "grossly oversold short term." That is, indicator would need a net of plus 4,000 (in advancers minus decliners) in order for it to halt its slide.
If you want to be bullish in the very short term, you might even note that Friday's lower low in the S&P 500 was unconfirmed by Nasdaq and the Russell 2000, as the latter two hit higher lows vs. Thursday. In addition, there were fewer stocks making new lows on Friday than there were Thursday.
Now let's move on to the intermediate-term indicators. As mentioned, the McClellan Summation Index has rolled over. The 30-day moving average of the advance-decline line is slated to read as overbought later this week.
The Hi-Lo Indicator has rolled over now, as well. The Volume Indicator is still hovering at 54%, so unless Monday is a terrific day in the market, it is unlikely to make reach all the way above 55% -- which, assuming this, would make that a negative divergence, as well.
In terms of sentiment, recently I noted that the Investors Intelligence bulls, plus those seeking a correction, came to a ratio of more than 75%. I concluded that the market's upside would tend to be limited until that reading comes down. Well, this ratio is still above 75%, so we have to conclude that the upside remains limited.
The various moving averages of the put-call ratios are all heading higher, as well.
Finally there is margin debt. This number is now at $325 billion, which is the highest reading we've seen since January 2008. This is as of the end of November, so the indicator is not for near-term calls. However, look at the chart below. I think you can see that readings above $300 billion tend to mean the market is closer to a high than a low, or that there tends to be limited upside.
Still, notice that this number got above $300 billion in April of 2007, and stayed up there through March of 2008. This shows that such levels don't constitute a "sell bell" so much as a call for limited upside. The last time it was above $300 billion was for six months in 2011 -- a period that culminated with the August 2011 downgrade of U.S. debt.
So, while I would love to look forward to the New Year with better intermediate-term indicators, the only good news I can see is the upcoming short-term oversold condition.
Nonetheless, Happy New Year! All the best in 2013!

Monday is the last day to register to vote in this year's city of Ocala elections. Only registered city residents will be permitted to vote. Election Day is Oct. 15.
OCALA -- Monday is the last day to register to vote in this year's city of Ocala elections.
Only registered city residents will be permitted to vote. Election Day is Oct. 15.
To register, you must complete a registration form, sign it and have it in Supervisor of Election's office by 5 p.m., Monday, Sept. 16. The signature on the registration form must be original. If you mail the registration form to the Supervisor of Elections' office, it must be postmarked on or before Monday.
"If it's not postmarked by the 16th, it has to be in our office by the 16th," said Supervisor of Elections Wesley Wilcox.
Registration forms are available online at www.votemarion.com or at the Supervisor of Elections' office, 981 S.E. 16th St., Ocala. They also are available at Ocala City Hall, 110 S.E. Watula Ave., or Florida Department of Motor Vehicles offices, libraries, most sheriff sub-stations and other government offices.
And just because someone has an Ocala address, that does not mean they live within the city limits.
To check if you are eligible to vote in city elections, go to www.votemarion.com and click "Where To Vote." Type in the address then look under the heading "Future Elections."
"If you don't see the city of Ocala election, then you are not eligible," Wilcox said. "If you do, then you are."
This year, city voters will cast ballots to fill two city council seats and on five proposed revisions to the city charter.
Incumbent Suzy Heinbockel is being challenged by retired clothier Brent Malever for the District 1 City Council seat. District 1 is the at-large position that represents the entire city.
Incumbent Jay A. Musleh is facing opponent Aaron Fiehn, who does auto body work and repairs motorcycles, for the District 3 City Council seat representing the south portion of the city.
"You don't have to live in that district to vote in that district," City Clerk Angel Jacobs said. "It's citywide."
So, city residents, regardless of the district in which they live, can vote in both city council races.
There are two ways to vote. One is by absentee ballot, which can be mailed to, or dropped off at, the Supervisor of Elections' office. The other is by voting at the polls on election day.
Absentee ballots were being mailed this week to those who requested them.
"We mailed 3,300 ballots Tuesday, about 15 on Wednesday and three or four Thursday morning," Wilcox said.
Anyone wishing to receive an absentee ballot may still request one.
"We will mail an absentee ballot up until Wednesday, Oct. 9," Wilcox said.
After that date -- the following Thursday, Friday or Monday -- absentee ballots may be picked up at the Supervisor of Elections' office.
"We are not allowed to mail it, but you can come in and pick it up," Wilcox said.
Absentee ballots may be requested at www.votemarion.com, by emailing a request to email@example.com or by calling or stopping by the Supervisor of Elections' office.
Absentee ballots may be hand-delivered or mailed back to the Supervisor of Elections' office, but must be received by the close of the polls at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 for the vote to be counted. The date of the postmark on mailed ballots will not be considered. Anyone who mails a ballot should allow enough time for it to arrive by Oct. 15.
For more information go to www.votemarion.com or call the Supervisor of Elections' office at 620-3290 or the City Clerk's office at 629-8266.
Contact Susan Latham Carr at 352-867-4156 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It took all of three minutes for the Galaxy to give up a tying goal to Juventus Saturday. When they got another chance to hold a lead, they didn't let go and collected a 3-1 victory in the International Champions Cup at Dodger Stadium.
Landon Donovan scored the go-ahead goal in the 60th minute and Robbie Keane put it away late on the field that has seen magic mostly from the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig.
Coach Bruce Arena took a calculated gamble on holding that lead with 10 minutes left, when he replaced starters Donovan, Juninho and Robbie Rogers and the Galaxy held their breath with a 2-1 lead.
They not only held the lead, they added to it when Keane pounced on a mistake and scored in the 88th minute.
The result, besides being the international scalp the club has long coveted, pushed the Galaxy into Wednesday's third-place match in Miami against either Chelsea or AC Milan. Apparently, the regulation tie Juventus played with Everton in the first round led the organizers to realign the brackets.
This news came a little while after referee Baldomero Toledo, evidently a last-minute replacement for Matt Foerster, blew the first-half whistle after only 44:30 had elapsed on the scoreboard clock.
"We understand this is an exhibition," Arena said. " I don't want to play them when it really counts."
Playing for the first time since injuring his hip three weeks ago, Keane came on in the second half and turned the tide for the Galaxy.
First, he pounced on an errant pass and sped toward the goal before releasing a perfectly timed pass to his right that Donovan had no problem finishing.
After several Juventus attacks that the Galaxy staved off, Keane jumped on a back pass and took it in for a tap-in over second-half goalkeeper Marco Storari and it was 3-1.
The Galaxy finished with six shots on goal and Juventus had only three, all coming in the first half.
In the first game, Real Madrid earned its way into Wednesday's final in Miami with a 2-1 victory Everton, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mehmet Ozil providing the Spanish fans with what they came to see with a goal and assist apiece.
The Galaxy survived an early scare when Juventus had a chance in the third minute, then found a way to create chances and keep Juventus from getting any more - for a while.
Defender Paolo De Ceglie sent in a long cross that went right in front of goalkeeper Brian Rowe and just out of the reach of forward Alessandro Matri, then the Galaxy went to work.
Donovan worked his way through the middle of the defense and drew a foul right at the box, dangerously close to earning a penalty kick. But Juninho's free kick from 19 yards away was blocked away by the Juventus wall.
Rogers created several chances for the Galaxy but none were better than when he tried the middle as well, split two defenders and got off a right-footed shot that was poked just wide of goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
A minute later, Buffon turned away a left-footed shot by Donovan from about 15 yards away.
After Rowe easily stuffed a shot from the right by Fabio Quagliaralla, the teams settled down for about 20 minutes until the Galaxy struck with an unexpected attacker.
On top of the box, Juninho sent a shot that pinballed back to him and he promptly sent a low pass forward into the box. On the run from the right side, defender Omar Gonzalez reached the pass and chipped his shot over Buffon and the Galaxy had a 1-0 lead in the 26 th minute.
Just when it seemed like Jueventus coach Antonio Conte was debating when to send in stars Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez, his club struck back.
Quagliarella took possession in the box and battled Gonzalez, the former MLS Defender of the Year. Quagliarella won the battle, pivoted and got a shot that Rowe batted away. But Matri was there send the rebound home to tie the match in the 39th minute.
Pirlo and Keane came on after halftime and the game opened up. Juventus, though, couldn't finish and two of Pirlo's passes led to offside calls.
Even after Donovan's goal and facing 30 minutes of challenges, the Galaxy kept attacking with Gonzalez and fellow defender A.J. DeLaGarza mixing it up on the offensive end. Yet after their forays, they sprinted back to keep the back line collected.
The closest Juventus came to scoring was on a free kick from Pirlo, who curled a shot over the wall and just over the upper left corner in the 68 th minute.

More women are living longer and this could be bad news for too many of them, experts say.
"Women have a range of lifelong challenges that conspire against them remaining fiscally comfortable in their old age," said Robert MacLaughlin of California's Assembly Committee on Aging and Long-term Care. "They risk spending their last years in poverty."
It's a problem Leanne Martinsen, executive director of the Area Agency on Aging Serving Napa and Solano, said she sees too often.
"Women tend to live longer, to have not worked in jobs that provided them with enough pensions and/or pay as much, so they don't put as much into the Social Security system," she said. "So, they're living longer with fewer resources and that's a problem with a lot of the women we see. They have problems making ends meet."
Men generally have careers that take them through retirement, Martinsen said.
In their own old age, then, "women often end up, having families living with them or having to access financial support from them, or from the government for medical or housing subsidies," Martinsen said.
"People envision living out their lives as independently as they want to be, if their health allows, but a lot of the issues that come to us about someone needing assistance to pay their bills, wouldn't exist if they had more resources," she said.
Assemblywoman Mariko Yamada, D-Davis, who chairs the Assembly Aging and Long-term Care Committee, is holding a lecture series on the "Faces of Aging," with a recent installment exploring the issues facing the "increasingly large demographic of aging women," according to her office.
"Women are keenly aware of the high cost of longer life-spans," Yamada said in a statement. "Life-long pay inequities, less access to pensions and new trends to charge women more for long-term care insurance are eroding opportunities for women to plan and achieve financial security."
Women comprise some 57 percent of the 65+ population, and 66 percent of those 85 and over, she said.
"There are a range of issues that impact older women's ability to strategize financial security for later in life," MacLaughlin said. "Occupation segregation in jobs with less good benefits and pay; unpaid time off to raise children or be a caregiver. The upshot is that the fiscal forecast for older women is poor. It does not look good."
A recent Yamada-organized hearing on the matter discussed "the physical and fiscal realities confronting older women, including the cumulative effects of lifelong wage disparities and uncompensated caregiving," her office said.
"Women who live, on average, five years longer than men, and who have in many cases left the workforce prematurely to care for an ailing spouse, special needs child, or their elderly parents, find that their financial resources are exhausted by the time they themselves age into the need for care," said Yamada, who represents parts of Solano, Napa and several other counties. "With fewer financial resources remaining, many single older women face a long, lonely and bleak retirement."
There are several ways officials might address this issue, experts say.
"Equal pay for equal work might be one be one answer," Martinsen said. "Also acknowledgment that family caregiving is valuable and maybe offering a tax credit. We have a family leave act now allowing people time to care for an ill family member, but there's still no compensation that comes their way. It's a problem that's increasing as we live longer, so it would nice for our policy makers to come up with solutions now rather than later."
Yamada says she hopes to help address some of these harsh realities with a bill that would ban gender-based pricing in long-term care insurance. Companies offering these plans want to charge women more than men, specifically because they do tend to live longer, she said, and that's adding insult to injury.
"Older women are the majority of older Californians and are already challenged with financial insecurity," she said. "State policies that prohibit discriminatory pricing based on gender are worth fighting for."

I just want to make sure everyone is aware that these softgels are not 1000mg of Krill oil each. I think these are being advertised innappropriately. If you look at the details it tells you a 1000mg serving consists of 2 softgels. If you are only taking one of these a day you are only taking in 500mg. I too made the mistake of thinking they were 1000mg each (since it made them very cost effective) but please be aware you are only buying a 30 day supply if you want to get 1000mg/day

This was my second order for this brand. The first order was fine--no fishy smell, no fishy taste. So I ordered it a second time for myself and my spouse. This order--yuck. Both bottles must have had leaky capsules because both smell and taste fishy and have a red oily substance all over the capsules. Very unpleasant.

I ordered, what I thought was ONLY Krill Oil. After receiving my bottle I read the front label, which was rather deceiving once I read the entire label on the back and sides of the bottle. There is NO statement regarding the toxins or mercury levels as shown on this site and that my particular bottle ALSO has TUNA as a source of 'Fish oil concentrate'...once again, NOT described on this site's label. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this 'hype' of advertising! I have always trusted this site and it's reputation. The bottle that I had received should read: Krill Oil/Fish oil MIX. For the future I would suggest that you provide ALL parts of the label, not just the parts that will sell a product. Buyer, beware, 'nuff said. Aloha, Keoni

LAS VEGAS—To open Team USA's Blue-White scrimmage at the Thomas and Mack Center, Paul George took a microphone, walked to midcourt and graciously thanked the crowd for coming and promised a good game. That was the most we heard from George on the night.
In the end, George had just 10 points on 3-for-10 shooting for the victorious White team, well behind the White's Kyrie Irving (23 points) and the Blue's Anthony Davis (22 points), the two stars of the game. Still, when parsing out how the future of USA Basketball shapes up, keep George's name in mind.
That's because George could be a critical player when the Rio Olympics come around in 2016, especially with the possible retirement from international play of forward LeBron James. After last year's Olympics, James was noncommittal about playing again for the U.S. in 2016, and an ESPN report has him "likely" to be done with international play.
Recap | Kyrie wants to be great | LeBron might not play in Olympics | Team USA photos
That leaves a big void in the lineup. Over the course of Team USA's resurgence, James has been a critical factor. He usually was not the biggest scorer on the roster, with Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant taking that mantle. But James was able to adjust his game to blend in perfectly with whatever the team needed—rebounding, passing, defense on the perimeter, defense in the post, perimeter shooting.
James was easily the MVP of the Olympic gold-medal teams in 2008 and 2012, not because he dominated, but because he was able to morph into the ideal international player, a hybrid of three or four positions.
That's something that George, who has been a small forward and shooting guard in the NBA, noticed in watching the team in London during the 2012 Olympics. Handling that hybrid role is something he feels he can duplicate, even if he didn't have the finest of nights on Thursday.
"That's right up my alley," he said. "I happen to be a versatile player, and I think I can fit into that role, the way Durant did, Carmelo did, LeBron did. That's the style of play and the international game fits my game."
Considering that Durant has already committed to play in the World Championship next year, it's a safe bet that he will be back for the Olympics. Anthony is an open question. But if James doesn't play, the team will be missing its Swiss-army knife. George is ideally suited to take over that spot.
Which is not to say that George can be as good as James. It just means that, when playing internationally, with the bevy of pick-and-rolls and sweet-shooting big men, George can become the glue-guy forward on both ends of the floor that James has been for Team USA until now. He got a taste of that last year, when he participated with Team USA's select team, which scrimmaged against James, Anthony, Durant and the Olympians.
But that was before George had his breakout season last year with the Indiana Pacers, averaging 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists, while making 36.2 percent from the 3-point line. He was being closely watched over the course of that season.
"I thought, watching how he played during those practices, he showed me that he was someone who was going to be in the future of this team," Team USA executive director Jerry Colangelo said. "And, I mean a big part. That was before he had the kind of year he had in the NBA. We don't know who is going to be coming and going, but he is someone who has the right skills and the right talent and the right temperament, the right attitude, to really be a perfect fit for the international game."
There's no questioning George's willingness to play, either. He said he was honored just to be asked to participate in this year's minicamp, and that playing in the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics—possibly in the do-it-all LeBron role—would be a no-brainer.
"I would love to be a part of it," George said. "Obviously, being in the NBA is a dream but, to play for your country and represent your country, that is also a dream and I would love to do so."

hello friends,
So I'm working on cutting back on sense pleasures... I quit alcohol and other intoxicants years ago, but sugar has proved to be a much more enduring foe for me... anyone else faced this issue? Sticking to one meal a day makes it easier, but I seem to slip back into sugar madness over and over again...
Selfish grasping comes in many forms - some subtle and insidious (like my unconscious tendency to manipulate) and some more blunt and overt... sugar falls into the latter category!
Thankfully my sweet-tooth hasnt affected my health much (yet), but it keeps me mired in grasping mind, and weakens the 'renunciant mind', thereby holding me back on the path...Has anyone else struggled with this little conundrum?
many bows,

Inmates ordered out of 2 prisons amid Valley fever outbreak
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) The federal receiver who controls medical care in California prisons on Monday ordered thousands of high-risk inmates out of two Central Valley prisons in response to dozens of deaths due to Valley fever, which is caused by an airborne fungus.
Map: Prisons 85 miles NW of Bakersfield {>}{>}
Medical receiver J. Clark Kelso ordered the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to exclude black, Filipino and other medically risky inmates from Avenal and Pleasant Valley state prisons because those groups are more susceptible to the fungal infection, which originates in the region's soil.
Aside from the racial minorities, high-risk inmates include those who are sick, infected with HIV, are undergoing chemotherapy or otherwise have a depressed immune system. In addition to the deaths, the fungus has hospitalized hundreds of inmates.
The order will affect about 40 percent of the more than 8,200 inmates at the two prisons, said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the receiver's office.
"The state of California has known since 2006 that segments of the inmate population were at a greater risk for contracting Valley fever, and mitigation efforts undertaken by CDCR to date have proven ineffective," she said in an emailed statement. "As a result, the receiver has decided that immediate steps are necessary to prevent further loss of life."
That creates problems for the corrections department, which faces a December deadline to reduce overcrowding in prisons statewide by an additional 9,000 inmates as part of a federal court order to improve medical and mental health care.
The department must file a plan with the federal courts by Thursday outlining what steps it will take to reduce the prison population by year's end. Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard has said the department still wants to bring home more than 8,400 inmates who currently are being housed in private prisons in other states.
In response to the receiver's order Monday, corrections department spokesman Jeffrey Callison said, "To implement this policy directive would be a big undertaking, and we're reviewing it."
The department had been focused on trying to minimize the spread of the dust that carries the spores that cause Valley fever.
"If there are ways to reduce or prevent Valley fever, period, regardless of who the inmates are, that would probably be the best thing all around," Callison said.
Steps include controlling dust measures during construction, giving surgical masks to inmates and employees who request them, and providing education materials to employees and inmates. The corrections department is installing air filters and is considering measures to cover up dusty areas and screen out more dust from entering prison buildings.
Those efforts are not getting the job done, according to both the receiver and the nonprofit Prison Law Office that is asking a federal judge to intervene.
The issue is part of a lawsuit filed more than a decade ago seeking to improve medical care in the state's 33 adult prisons. It surfaced again Monday after a doctor hired by the law firms representing inmates filed a sworn declaration with the federal court saying the prisons should be shut down.
"The governor has said the prison system isn't crowded and it's providing the finest health care that money can buy. Here's another example why that isn't true," said Don Specter, director of the Prison Law Office. "Prisoners are dying because they're in a toxic environment which causes serious illness and death on a regular basis. The department has known about this problem since about 2007 and has done virtually nothing."
The federal judge overseeing the case has scheduled a court hearing on the matter for June.
Valley fever is found most often in the southwestern United States, with about a quarter of the cases in California and more than 70 percent in Arizona, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of cases has risen over the years and topped 20,000 in 2011, the CDC reported in December.
In a sworn declaration, Dr. John Galgiani said the situation at the Pleasant Valley and Avenal prisons is a "public health emergency." Galgiani is a professor of medicine at the University of Arizona who founded a center where Valley fever is researched.
The communities surrounding the prisons in the southern San Joaquin Valley have the highest rates of the disease in California, but Galgiani said the infection rates at both prisons are even higher than those.
Warren George, an attorney with the Prison Law Office, said Valley fever was a contributing factor in 34 inmate deaths between 2006 and 2011. Since 2012, it has been a primary or secondary cause of nine inmate deaths.
The receiver's office estimates the illnesses cost taxpayers more than $23 million a year to treat.

An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the heart. The picture and information it produces is more detailed than a standard x-ray image. An echocardiogram does not expose you to radiation.
Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE); Echocardiogram - transthoracic; Doppler ultrasound of the heart; Surface echo
TTE is the type of echocardiogram that most people will have.
An echocardiogram shows the heart while it is beating. It also shows the heart valves and other structures.
In some cases, your lungs, ribs, or body tissue may prevent the sound waves and echoes from providing a clear picture of heart function. If this is a problem, the sonographer may inject a small amount of liquid (contrast) through an IV to better see the inside of the heart.
Rarely, more invasive testing using special echocardiography probes may be needed.
The back of your throat is numbed and a scope is inserted down your throat.
On the end of the scope is a device that sends out sound waves. A heart doctor with special training will guide the scope down the esophagus. This method is used to get a clearer echocardiogram of your heart.
No special steps are needed before a TTE test. If you are having a TEE, you will not be able to eat or drink for several hours before the test.
During the test:
This test is done to evaluate the valves and chambers of the heart from the outside of your body. The echocardiogram can help detect:
Your health care provider may recommend a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) if:
A normal echocardiogram reveals normal heart valves and chambers and normal heart wall movement.
An abnormal echocardiogram can mean many things. Some abnormalities are very minor and do not pose major risks. Other abnormalities are signs of serious heart disease. You will need more tests by a specialist in this case. It is very important to talk about the results of your echocardiogram with your provider.
There are no known risks from an external transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) test.
There is some risk associated with the transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) test. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is an invasive procedure. Talk with your health care provider about risks associated with this test.
Abnormal results may indicate:
This test is used to evaluate and monitor many different heart conditions.

GOP minority outreach: What's old is new again
The old joke about insanity - that it's about doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results - is never more true than when the Republicans recommit themselves, yet again, to the quest for minority voters.
There they were again, at the GOP's weekend retreat, walking the high road and talking inclusion, acknowledging that a white party is doomed to keep losing in diverse 21st-century America. There they were again, pledging to pursue minority outreach. Chairman Reince Priebus said the GOP needs to welcome blacks and Hispanics "with open doors and open arms." Party strategist Sally Bradshaw said the GOP needs "to go into areas that we do not go into and see folks that we do not see." Henry Barbour, a national GOP committeeman, said that demographic realities "are a wake up call to the Republican party."
Why do these noises sound so familiar? Because I've heard them so many times before.
Here's the history that went unmentioned in all the weekend news stories:
In 1978, Republican chairman Bill Brock hired black consultants to help him figure out how to reach minority voters; he even enlisted Jesse Jackson to address the Republican National Committee and offer his advice. The project was soon abandoned. In 1986, chairman Frank Farhenkopf Jr. created a Coalition Outreach Committee and declared, "No subject is more critical to the future of our party than minority participation." The project was soon abandoned. In 1989, chairman Lee Awater described the GOP as a "big tent" with ample room for minority voters. That talk went nowhere. In 1996, House Speaker Newt Gingrich created a Minority Outreach Task Forcce. That project went nowhere. In 1999, chairman Jim Nicholson created The New Majority Council, which he said was designed "to expand the base of the party." A year later, he hit the theme again: "Minority outreach is critical to our party. Not only is it the right thing to do, it is imperative." His words went nowhere.
In 2005, George W. Bush and his allies relaunched yet again, seeking to romance minorities with this slogan: "Give us a chance, and we'll give you a choice." The House GOP created a "Freedom Calendar" that lauded the party's record on civil rights (with heavy emphasis on the Abraham Lincoln era). Party chairman Ken Mehlman spoke to black audiences in 17 cities, and declared, "Republicans are committed to inclusion....I'm here four years before the next presidential election asking for your help." He also apologized for decades of Republican race-baiting. He lamented that his party brethren had tried "to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Fast forward to present day. Rhetorically, the Republicans are at it again. And they've established yet another new task force, to determine how the party can broaden its appeal to minority voters. This task force will deliver its recommendations in March. (What's amazing, at this point, is that the GOP even needs another task force to help spin its wheels. Perhaps it can start by examining the Republican National Committee website, where the section devoted to "Black Republicans" was last updated on Sept. 5, and the section devoted to "GOP Hispanics" was last updated on Oct. 18.)
Over and over, rinse and repeat; Republicans persist in believing that pretty words and better communication will fix its systemic problem. What they never seem to realize is that minority voters don't give a fig about words. For nearly 50 years, they have merely watched the GOP in action. Hence the disconnect.
A small sampling: '64 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater's opposition to the landmark Civil Rights Act; Richard Nixon's 1968 "Southern strategy," which wooed southern whites by tagging blacks as "welfare cheats"; the senior George Bush's Willie Horton TV ads in 1988, which featured a convicted black rapist and sowed irrational fears of black criminality; white southern dominance of the congressional GOP; the '02 resignation of the entire black House Republican delegation (one guy, J.C. Watts) who then rebuked the GOP for being "often absent on issues of civil rights, equal opportunity and poverty'; the white right-wing revolt against path-to-citizenship immigration reform in 2006-7; Mitt Romney's "47 percent" video, assailing nearly half of Americans as lazy slackers hooked on government dependence; the GOP's 2012 voter-suppression strategy, which heavily targeted swing-state minorities....need I go on?
Actually, yes. The fundamental truth is that most contemporary Republicans are philosophically opposed to a government safety net - whereas most Hispanics and blacks view the safety net as a necessity. In the budget battles slated for this spring on Capitol Hill, Republicans will again target the net, and minorities will have fresh reasons to ignore all the pretty winter words.
Sally Bradshaw, the aformentioned GOP strategist, said this weekend: "I think you're going to see a very renewed, aggressive effort by this party to put on a different face." But that's all it would be - a face. In all likelihood, that's all it can ever be.

A high school on the westside in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this school you'll find corruption and less than adequate teaching. The security guards are corrupt assholes that turn the other cheek when many of the "hood" kids are smoking or doing some sort of drug. The janitors and custodians can be secretly paid off to "accidently" leave some main doors unlocked overnight so various criminal activity can be played out. The food is moderate, it doesn't provide nutrients but it helps fill the stomach as sand and dirt could. Most teachers too old to be teaching and are complete dickheads, although there are some teachers that plain out "kick ass" and know the right way to teach and not bore the holy fuck out of you. The school's administration is completely corrupt and belong in jail, they are tools for the bureaucrats that control the city and are completely ignorant. The "drug trade" at this school is very lucrative and not secret. If you ask the right people, you too can be making more than 85 dollars a week. A sharp pair of eyes can spot more than 10-30 deals a day, most of which being marijuana, shrooms, or some sort of pill. The staff is completely oblivious to this problem, the few that do know (security) don't usually care. Bullying is not much of a problem. Some fights may occur but most of which are over sexual relationships or cause the other kid was looking at you. A fight can last from 5 to 45 sec until the guard filing her nails notice's all the kids running to go see the physical encounter. Surprisingly no student has gotten sick of the bullshit and shot up the place. Well thats the definition of Cibola High School in a nutshell.
For more information of the school, go to it and see.

The boy who went to Cibola High School became a criminal and ended up in jail, he was a drop out like most of his other classmates.

New York -- Shoppers diversifying the way they shop for and acquire goods, becoming increasingly open to buying both online and in-store depending on their needs at time of purchase. While more than 80% of shoppers chose the store to make their last non-grocery purchase, only half are committed to returning there next time they buy. These are among the findings of a new IBM study of global consumers.
IBM's research finds that consumers are in a transitional state. According to the study, 35% are unsure whether they would next shop at a store or online. Nine percent are ready to commit to making future purchases online. Of all eight product categories tracked in the survey, the two most popular categories chosen by consumers for an online shift are consumer electronics and luxury items, including jewelry and designer apparel.
"Today's consumer is sophisticated and opportunistic, navigating between store and online environments interchangeably to meet their shopping needs of the moment," said Jill Puleri, Global Retail Leader, IBM Global Business Services. "To satisfy clients, retailers must deliver a consistent, convenient shopping experience across each consumer touch point, extending from the store to online and back again. The key is using data and analytics to better understand the behavior and preferences of shoppers to close the sale."
The IBM study also found that nearly half of online purchases in studied categories resulted from "showrooming." Significantly, nearly a quarter of these online shoppers intended to buy their item in the store, but ultimately purchased online – primarily due to price and convenience.
Retailers must better connect their store and online presence to capture the sale to showroomers, according to IBM. Today, online-only retailers account for one-third of showroomer purchases.
Younger, male and affluent shoppers are most likely to showroom. Although a global phenomenon, there is a higher incidence of showrooming in China (26%) and India (13%) than the U.S. (7%), for example.
The IBM study reveals that consumers are seeking a truly integrated shopping experience. Retailers must better connect their online and physical stores, blending benefits into both at various points in the shopping cycle -- from research to purchase -- to build brand loyalty and repeat sales.
In the store, retailers must infuse digital experiences, enable store associates with the technology to save the sale and embrace consumer-owned technology. Online, retailers most optimize their websites for various devices. The IBM Digital Analytics benchmark found that 70% more consumers used a mobile device to visit a retailer's site on Cyber Monday in 2012 than 2011. However, today's study found that only 3% of shoppers are using retailers' mobile apps.

AFTER a four week lay off expectations were high from both supporters and players.
But Old Halesowenians RFC eventually squandered a 15-point first-half lead as they lost 37-25 in an away defeat to South Leicestershire.
For the first 25 minutes Halesonians were sharp, incisive, fast paced, hard tackling and possibly saw some of the best passages of play this season.
Despite this the home side took the lead which came from a Hales attack, where a loose ball was collected by their impressive winger who sprinted 80 yards, forcing many missed tackles to score.
With the help of the Hales team, centre Andy Robinson began to outplay the majority of the opposition single handed.
He appeared to cover every position on the pitch. After 10 minutes he gathered the ball to score an excellent try which he converted. Eight minutes later, Hales again worked the phases and following a Luke Smith attack with the ball, he fed the impressive Robinson again for his second try and conversion of the game.
Continued pressure by the visitors forced two penalties close to the home try line, Robinson converted both for a personal tally of 20 points. Leicester then started their comeback before half time with a well worked try and the second half was a totally different game as the hosts lifted a gear and introduced a relentless commitment to fight back. Hales made three mistakes in a row in attack which gifted the ball to the opposition.
The visitors struggled to contain the greater forward power of Leicester. They made best use of the ball, after yet another break by Robinson, he broke through to feed Luke Smith who passed to the opposition and they scored a gifted try.
This was a defining moment of the afternoon and during a disappointing second period of Halesonians play, the home side seemed almost to score at will. Three more tries and two conversions followed by two penalties for a convincing and comfortable lead.
Hales fought back with a consolation try by Smith. He missed the conversion but could not be blamed for the lack of commitment in the second half and Hales were well beaten.
Hales now sit fourth in the Midlands National three League behind Sutton who move up to third having narrowly beaten Nuneaton. The next game on Saturday is away to Bedford Athletic when Hales will be looking to bounce back from this disappointment. Kick off on Saturday is 3pm.

We can't afford to bury the poor, undertakers say
Local funeral homes say they can no longer afford to spend millions a year subsidizing dignified farewells for the poorest Torontonians.
Under Ontario's Funeral, Burial and Cremations Act, municipalities have the discretion to pay for services for people who received Ontario Works benefits or were on the Ontario Disability Support Program. Most get pickup, embalming, a particleboard casket covered by grey cloth with white rayon interior, a service, clergy honorarium, a hearse, "lead car" and limo for family, and burial or cremation.

With the help of funeral homes, many people are given valuable information on funerals and burial services.

Selecting the right funeral homes might prove to be valuable in helping the family find closure while giving that deceased individual dignity in his or her departure from this life. Directors at these businesses help people through the entire planning process.

"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking." - Henry Ford
In the animal feed industry, quality is as much about safety as it is about nutritional value. It is vitally important that our natural supplements are nutritionally balanced and effective. But even more urgent is the need to insure that they are free from contaminants like mycotoxins, heavy metals, dioxins and PCBs.
Alltech has invested years of scientific research into the development of yeast and enzyme-based animal feed supplements. All of that effort and expertise is wasted if we cannot verify the absolute safety of the final product that is shipped to customers. That is why we developed the Alltech Quality System (AQS).
AQS requires that we sample and analyze every shipment of active raw material that comes into our facilities. We use stringent, standardized and documented procedures at every production facility, blending facility and warehouse. Then we sample and analyze the finished product before it is shipped to our customers. The AQS is not just a risk management tool; it is designed to ensure that every product we ship is safe, effective and nutritious.
Food and agricultural raw materials are shipped all over the world. Some regions and countries have very stringent requirements while others are less strict. How can a global company guarantee the quality and safety of its products when suppliers, production facilities and customers are located in different countries with very different sets of regulations?
We developed the Alltech Quality System (AQS) to solve this problem. The AQS meets or exceeds the strictest quality regulations in each geographic area where we operate, and allows us to implement AQS in all of our production facilities worldwide to ensure that every plant is meeting equal levels of quality and safety by following the same operating procedures.

I received this ring from my aunt/ god mother and she said it was my great grandmother's. I would like to hear anything anyone might know about it- how old it might be, if it's worth anything, etc. I love the design and color. But I don't think the stone is a real stone of any sorts. It's beautiful to me whether it's worth a lot or not.. Thanks!

First off, this site has been a huge help in my game and I see gains in every aspect of my game each time I go out.
Is there any interest or possibility of have a state by state section added? I belong to a few Jeep sites that have such a thing and it helps for members from those states to communicate, set up rides, advertise events, buy/sell/trade and so on. It may sound redundant since these things can be done on the regular board, but having them sorted by state will help people find what they're looking for with greater ease.

RICHMOND — One of Point Richmond's grandest landmarks will be in new hands for the first time in more than 30 years.
The Hotel Mac Restaurant, originally opened in 1911 as the Colonial Hotel, has been sold by owners Bill Burnett and Griff Brazil to a buyer named Maureen Na, Burnett said Friday morning.
"Going on 35 years, I think we've been here long enough, don't you?" Burnett said, chuckling.
Burnett and Brazil rescued the hotel in 1978 after a fire gutted the building. The men used old photos to restore the space and retain its renowned, rustic ambience.
The Mac remains a favorite hangout for local business and political elites. In recent months, Police Chief Chris Magnus and city council members and candidates have dined there and attended presentations and celebrations. On election night, the Mac hosted a convivial joint soiree for re-elected Councilman Nat Bates and the "No on N" campaign team, which defeated a proposed tax on sugar-sweetened beverage sales.
Burnett said Na plans a seamless transition, retaining the current staff and menu. The new owner will take the reins the second week of January, Burnett said.

CHELMSFORD held off a Concord fightback to take the bragging rights in the big Essex derby on Canvey Island tonight.
Former Heybridge Swifts duo Luke Callender and Michael Cheek gave the Clarets a 2-0 half-time lead and Rob Edmans added a late third after Tony Stokes had pulled one back for the hosts.
Chelmsford were rewarded for their early dominance with a seventh minute opener. Home keeper Jamie Butler did well to turn Tom Davis' snapshot around the post and when Concord failed to deal with the resulting corner, Luke Callender swept the ball high into the net.
Concord grew into the game and Sam Higgins won and curled a free-kick narrowly wide before the Clarets doubled their lead two minutes before the break.
Left-back Leon Redwood hit a stinging shot from well outside the box and when Butler could only claw it away from the top corner, sub Michael Cheek gobbled up the rebound.
Cheek had replaced the injured Callender on 32 minutes and was an able replacement for his former Heybridge Swifts team-mate.
It was almost the perfect start for Concord after the break as Sam Collins went clean through on goal but his low effort hit the post and was cleared from danger.
But they didn't have to wait long for a breakthrough and James White hung up a delicious cross from the left and skipper Tony Stokes ghosted in to power a header into the roof of the net.
And with four minutes to go, only a header off the line from Chelmsford sub Nicky Nicolau kept out Steve King's goal-bound header.
And they were made to pay a cruel price at the death as Edmans arrived at the back post to use one of his long legs to steer the ball high into the net.
Concord: Butler, Spence, Glozier, Cowley (Cawley 75), King, Goodacre, Ogilvie (Harris 65), White, Higgins, Collins, Stokes (c).
Chelmsford: Pentney, Long, Redwood, Lock, Haines, Smith, St Aimie (Nicolau 65), Hughes (c), Callender (Cheek 32), Edmans, Davis.

Track All the Dirty Details About Your Sex Life Online With Bedpost
Would You Use a Website to Track Your Sex Life?
This geek may have known that gadgets in the bedroom might not do a sex life good, but she had no idea that there's a website that allows you to chronicle all of the dirty details of your sex life. I can officially say there's a website for everything, because with Bedpost, you can enter the date you had sex with someone, the time, how long it lasted, who it was with, you can include descriptive tags, and my fave — the star rating scale.
The site creators know that this info is as private as your financial data, so they swear it's kept confidential, secure, and can be deleted at anytime. In my opinion, if you're having sex that much and you need to keep track of who it was with, there may be other things you need besides this website — OK, I'll leave that for TrèsSugar — but I'm really interested in knowing if anyone would actually use this?


text: Tactic Master Posted March 7, 2012 World Cup European Qualifying Section England Montenegro Ukraine Moldova San Marino Poland Ukraine Vs San Marino Ukraine is the first test for San Marino. Ukraine have a World Rank of 50th! They have some very good players, such as; Anatoliy Tymoschuk, Artem Milevskyi and Andriy Pyatov. It could be fair to say that San Marino have played and beaten a better team (Mexico), so there is plenty of hope going into this one! First Half... 10th Minute: Zangari is moving in on goal, but finds his path blocked by the Ukraine defence, he decides to go backwards to Finke, who picks out Lorenzo first time, Lorenzo goes for the bottom left hand corner! Nice shot, but curls just wide! 40th Minute: There hasn't been much action for the past 30 minutes, but Ashario is stepping up to take a San Marino corner... GOALLLLLLLL!!! Ashario curls it straight onto Marino's head! Trademark corner from San Marino! You can always count on Marino putting those in, as he hardly ever misses! Ukraine 0 - 1 San Marino! 43rd Minute: Finke picks out Zangari, he could go for goal here, but decides to put it through for Lorenzo... Horrible shot from Lorenzo, he will kick himself for messing up such an opportunity! 45th Minute: GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!! Another trademark corner from San Marino! Almost identical to the last! Ashario puts the ball onto Marino's head! Marino proves my last statement was true Half Time... San Marino are in front with two great corners from Ashario, met by the ever present Marino! I'm going to adjust the tactics during half-time as I think the second half could be a bit more tough. I'm going to go with a shorter passing game and a Standard Strategy. I'm also going to pull the defensive line right back to a deep approach and mix the passing up to confuse our opposition. They will be used to us attacking down the wings, so I think mixing it up might allow us to take them by suprise. I'm also betting they might go for a more attacking approach, so i'll switch on the counter attack. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
