People say "less is more," and that can be particularly true during the hectic holiday season when less time equals more stress. While you can't make more time, there are ways to be efficient with the time you have. With the holidays approaching fast, don't wait any longer—check out these timesaving ideas to get a head start on making the most out of your precious minutes.
Create the perfect card
Spending too much time looking for the right holiday cards to match your family's personality? With Avery Greeting Cards and free Avery Wizard Software for Microsoft® Office Holiday Edition, you've got what you need to create holiday cards to suit your style. The software guides you step by step so you can create your cards in minutes, and it's easy to personalize by adding your favorite image, such as a family portrait. The special Avery Wizard Holiday Edition also includes themes for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's Eve and other winter designs.
Get your labels ready for the occasion
'Tis the season for holiday greetings—but writing addresses on all those envelopes by hand can really cramp your style, especially when you're doing it at the last minute. This year, why not print labels ahead of time, before the holiday rush? With Avery Clear Easy Peel® Address Labels and Avery Clear Easy Peel® Return Address Labels, you can create fun and festive matching labels with free pre-designed templates available on Avery Wizard. Then do a simple mail merge to create labels for everyone on your mailing list. Store your labels inside Avery Sheet Protectors, and include sheets of postage stamps, so your mailing supplies will be ready when you need them.
Personalize your holiday gifts
It's that time of year when we present a token of our appreciation to the people who have helped us throughout the year—from our children's teachers and coaches, to the people who deliver our mail and newspapers. Even if you don't have a lot of time, it's easy to add a little personal touch to any gift in a snap with custom gift tags you can create with Avery Clean Edge® Business Cards and Avery Wizard. Just add a heartfelt message for each recipient, print out the cards, punch a hole in the corner and fasten with decorative ribbon to dress up candles, a cookie jar kit, fruit basket or other gifts.
Pack and ship in a zip
Getting ready to mail out your presents but running short on time? With Avery Shipping Labels with TrueBlock™ Technology, it's quick and easy to take old cardboard boxes and make them look like new again. These bright, white labels are guaranteed to cover up everything underneath, so you won't have to scratch off old labels or worry about distracting marks showing through. And with free holiday templates on Avery Wizard, you can create your shipping labels so packages look just as festive on the outside as they are on the inside!
Sure, getting ready for the holidays requires a little planning and preparation. But with these timesaving tips, you'll also have the edge on making the most of your minutes. This year, spend less time on stress and more time enjoying the holidays.

Must-win, and I believe we will get it done. Davis will be 100% and hopefully there will be some momentum from the game-winning drive.

Vontae Davis gets a pick, Luck leads a successful offense all game, and Vick Ballard puts the game away with a successful running attack
Not a must win but certainly a should win.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
It pretty much is a must win. We need it to keep up the tiebreaker advantage on Cincy and Pittsburgh and a loss could very well take the wild card race out of our control. Kansas City and Tennessee are must win games.
Cannot lay eggs in the remaining winnable matchups, this being one of them.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.

Donald Brown already listed out for the Titan game. I've always liked Carter so lets see what happens when he gets his chance. Oh, and please no fumbles there DC.

Some clearly haven't got over the fact that Manning has left the Colts
It would be pretty deflating to me if we lost this at home. Would like to see us blow this open ala the Jax game.
I'll be at the game again.
28-20 Colts.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Has Arians ever won a challenge?
Locker is shredding our pathetic defense.
Bad challenge Arians bad challenge...
I wish Hasselbeck was at QB we'd have an easier time defensively...
We couldn't force a single incompletion against Jake Locker? ughhh
O-line matching the defense in ineptitude.
I see the offensive line is still dreadful.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.

Astros, Appel taking smart approach after surgery
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Astros pitcher Mark Appel is still a little sore, but otherwise on the road to recovery after having an appendectomy on Jan. 30 in Houston.
Appel, who lived with his parents in Houston in the offseason, woke up in the middle of the night and thought he was simply sick. The pain lingered, and he soon rustled his father in his sleep to tell him to take him to the hospital.
"Usually if I have food poisoning, I'll just grab some Tums or something like that," he said. "I did that after the first time I threw up, and I woke up again maybe an hour later and the same thing and the pain's worse. I knew something was up, and I just said, 'Hey dad, I think we need to go to the emergency room to be sure. Sure enough, I had appendicitis. It was pretty crazy."
Appel , the No. 1 pick in last year's First-Year Player Draft, will be eased into his throwing program to give him more time to heal.
"I feel fine," he said. "I'm still on the road to getting back to where I want to be, but I don't anticipate really missing Spring Training and I won't miss any of the season. It's all about being careful and not coming back too quickly, especially with it being my first Spring Training.
"Obviously, I want to be out there as soon as possible, but I'm not willing to risk a shoulder or elbow injury for the sake of pitching two extra outings in Spring Training. I am going to be patient. I talked to the trainers and strength coaches about a program to get back to where I was three or four weeks ago when I was working out."

12 Days of Cookies – Chocolate Chip Snowballs
This cookies were one of my favorite holiday cookies growing up. I've never made them on my own until this year. I'm getting a little cookie-d out *gasp* so I made a 1/2 batch of these. I got exactly 2 dozen cookies using my cookie scoop to portion the dough out. Also, note that this dough is very dry and crumbly. You have to work it with your hands when you make the balls of dough.
These are somewhat messy to eat. It's almost a guarantee that you're going to get powdered sugar on yourself. Definitely on your hands and possible splattered down your shirt. But they're definitely worth the mess. I used 1/2 mini-chips and 1/2 dark chips because I was trying to use up some bags of chips I had in the pantry.
Chocolate Chip Snowballs – recipe came from my mom, but there are tons out there just like it – makes 4 dozen
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 cup chopped nuts – I used walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips – I used 1/2 mini chips and 1/2 dark chocolate chips
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350.
Sift flour and salt together. set aside.
Cream sugar, butter, and vanilla. Add egg. Stir in flour, nuts, and chocolate chips.
Shape into 1″ balls. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15-20 min. Cool and roll in powdered sugar (I like to put powdered sugar in a big ziplock bag and throw a couple cookies in at a time. Close the bag and shake to coat the cookies. Shake cookies or tap against counter to release any extra powdered sugar).
My 12 Days of Cookies:
Day 1: Lumberjacks
Day 2: Peppermint Sandies
Day 3: The great Sugar Cookie Debate
Day 4: Fudge
Day 5: Cranberry Orange Cookies
4 Responses to "12 Days of Cookies – Chocolate Chip Snowballs"
Those look great! Perfect for the holidays.
omg you're my hero! I'm making mexican wedding cakes and I've been trying to think of a sub for the nuts…choc chips are perfect! : )
Mmmm – these look great and I enjoy eating powdered cookies regardless of how messy they are! 🙂
Just made this recipe for a functiona I'm going to today – it was really easy with all ingredients I already have on hand – will definitely make these again – thank you!

June 4, 1920 to April 3, 2013
Los Altos resident Michael Anthony Odello, 92, passed away April 3, 2013 at El Camino Hospital after suffering a stroke at home.
Michael was born in San Francisco, and shortly after moved with his parents, Anna and Antonio,and his older siblings, Antoinette, Rose, and Frances to Bagnasco, Italy. There he spent his childhood on the family farm, where his younger siblings, Giovanni, Anna, Nancy, and Fiorino were born.
Michael returned to the U.S at the age of 18 and worked at a nursery raising orchids in San Francisco. He entered the army in 1942 and fought in Germany during WWII as a sergeant with the 310th Infantry Regiment. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroic achievement in 1945 when he, with three other men, captured 32 enemy soldiers in Angelberg, Germany.
Michael met Emma Mercurio at a picnic in San Francisco, and they married in 1951 and had three daughters, Marilyn, Linda, and Annette. They were stationed in Spokane, Berlin, and later at the Presidio in San Francisco where he served as a Master Sergeant and chief food inspector.
After retiring from the army in 1966, Michael pursued his dream of owning and managing real estate. He obtained his real estate license, attended San Jose State University, and worked as a real estate agent and broker in the Santa Clara area.
Michael was a jack-of-all-trades and physically active throughout his life, making home repairs even in his 90's. And he insisted on climbing ladders, despite protests by his daughters, often enlisting the aid of his wife of 62 years as an accomplice.
He was the rock of the family. His humor, warmth and wisdom will be sorely missed by his wife, daughters and their spouses, his siblings, grandchildren, family members, friends and business associates.
Services were held on April 20th. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in his name to a charity of your choice.

"Excellent Series of Books"
I down loaded book 1 in the series as my wife was nagging me for a new book to listen to. It wasn't long before I downloaded all ten books. They were easy listening and it was great that David Pittu was able to narate all the books in the series. The series may have been written for teenagers but my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed them
"A Clues Nightmare"
I think this book is pretty good. It's kinda violent and kinda sad. But,overall its a great book and it's part of my favorite series.
I really love the codes and traps in the Gauntlet.
I like how he does different voices and different sounds.
I was scary when Isabelle turned against them, but I loved how the younger generations worked together.
I really like the amount of creepy, gross, and funny details this author adds to their writing.
"Not a fan of books"
This was one of the few books I liked. Highly recommend this book to anyone!!!
"Best book"
THis is an awesome book I think everyone would like it.❤💛💚💙💜💗💖💝💞💓💕 I hope that you will like it
"great family read"
great series to listen to as a family! everyone enjoyed it including the parents. great history throughout the series.
"Easy Listen."
This is a great book and a perfect way to listen with your kids. We really enjoyed this book and my son cant wait for the next one.
We loved the relationship between the characters in the story. The flow of the book was perfect.
Listening to the book gave my children a way to read it together. The voices seem to fit each of the character's and you could feel their emotion.
We would have loved to listen to the whole thing in one sitting but that is just not possible with a 7 and 11 year old.
On yo the next book!
"Good series for kids and adults"
I got into this series quite accidentally, ordering the first of the series without realizing it was a 10-parter. Overall, I have enjoyed it and I'm no kid. But a wonderful choice for families who can ejoy listening together. Some parts of the series are stronger than others, but overall, it held my attention.
On the other hand, I'm unlikely to go forward with the sequel that starts with book 11.
Readers of all 10 parts were solid
I'm a Cardiac Anesthesiologist with two college aged children. I used 2 check my kid's books for appropriateness & now enjoy those books 2.
"just read it"
i cannot comment on every writer individually because the books sort of ran together for me during a week trip. I read them all and cannot pinpoint every writer.
I can say that they were all wonderful and have great stories mixed with history and geography. They can teach in a great fun exciting atmosphere.
"Review on 39 Clues: Into the Gauntlet"

But Frankel, the original creator of Winamp and Gnutella, wasn't out of ideas. Unfortunately, his ideas all made AOL furious.
Just as the RIAA was prepping lawsuits against Gnutella users, Frankel kept butting heads with AOL corporate headquarters in Dulles, Virginia—trying to get Nullsoft and himself out from AOL's transcontinental reach. Besides Gnutella, which he released in September 2000, Frankel coded a program that blocked the ads on AOL Instant Messenger. After that, Dulles told him not to blog without approval.
"AOL as a company should not just sit on their asses and try to keep from losing as many subscribers as it can," he told Rolling Stone for its January 13, 2004 issue. "I mean, I'm a stockholder of the company. I want them innovating. I want them doing things that are good for the world and being socially conscious."
The disputes came to a head by mid-May 2003, when Frankel released WASTE, an encrypted, invite-only, file-sharing and chat network—on the fourth anniversary of Nullsoft's acquisition. Not surprisingly, AOL pulled the plug within 24 hours.
Frankel described the tension to Rolling Stone in 2004:
"'We fought off the AOL bullshit as much as possible," he says. When the company tried to insist that an AOL icon instantly appear on a user's desktop during a Winamp installation, Frankel hit the roof. "I'd be like, look, our users don't want to use AOL!" he says. "They think AOL sucks!"
Frankel agreed to stay on to see Winamp 5 through production; the program appeared in December 2003 and Frankel resigned from the company in January. Within a year, Gedikian resigned and AOL shuttered Nullsoft entirely, moving the remaining development staff to Dulles. At the time, Slate lamented the closure of the last "maverick tech company."
Winamp on life support
Probably the most surprising piece of the story is that Winamp didn't die right then and there in 2004. For the next three years, the software seemed more or less in stasis—no new version appeared.
Ben London, an AOL senior technical manager, took the reins of Winamp in Dulles in August 2004. He admitted that AOL's own corporate strategy, which kept shifting, slowed down development.
"There's just not a long-term investment tolerance," he told Ars. "We carve out a six-month road map, and then boom, re-organization into a different group, and new, different drivers would ask us to focus on a different aspect of the product."
But Winamp ticked along. When the new, 10-year-anniversary edition of Winamp finally dropped in 2007, Winamp hit its peak in the post-Frankel era, with a 90 million active user base, according to London.
"Winamp had no business staff," said Sam Weber, a longtime AOL manager who eventually became Winamp's business development director in 2006 and its overall director from 2007-2008. "Ben London was managing five developers that were keeping shoutcast.com, winamp.com, and the client on life support."
Weber told Ars that he and his team figured out something surprising about Winamp. While its numbers eventually dropped to all but negligible levels in the United States, the international market was a different story.
"What do you do if you have 50 million users around the world and 90 percent are outside the US and you have a six-person team in DC?" Weber wondered. When the team looked closer, it found that it had five million Turkish Winamp users and two million Brazilian users, among others.
The Winamp team tried to come up with a new business plan for Winamp, wondering if they could tack on a download service, a streaming service, or even just sell advertising against the installs.
"I think bit-by-bit what we mostly did was try to revitalize the community by re-releasing the product, updating it, both in terms of user interface and the codecs and technology with it, making Shoutcast easier and friendlier to use," he added. "We started monetizing users who came to the site, and more importantly, we translated it into a number of languages."
In short, the new Winamp team in Dulles began to figure out what AOL should have realized years earlier.
"The first is don't screw up a good thing," Weber said. "Don't use it as a mechanism for delivering AOL-branded services. Help make it more relevant to people who do use it."
So Winamp 5.5 added official German, Polish, Russian, and French support for the first time. But more importantly, the company started to figure out how to make money from users through what came to be known as the "freemium" model.
"You sell a premium version of the product," Weber said. "You've got this freemium play and it gets big enough, if you can get one percent [of your customers to buy it], you can build a real business."
Currently, Winamp Pro sells for $20, which, when multiplied by hundreds of thousands of paid users, works out to millions of dollars in revenue. Another way to make money is by selling ads directly on Winamp.com—and with the site doing several million total unique visitors a month, it's an easy way to earn some cash.
But there's an even better way to make money: put a Winamp player inside a browser toolbar. As Weber explained, this generates "a hell of a lot of money—search makes a lot more than banner ads."
"Google has a [search] deal with AOL, so we're distributed AdSense, in a branded, Winamp sense," he explained. "Now you've got millions of queries a day, and we would promote eMusic. Anytime someone searches for something, you're getting a piece of that. That's real money for a little startup. If the model hasn't changed since I was there, it's advertising against a big audience."
A second coming?
15 years after its founding, all of Winamp's original employees are long gone (most have moved on to other positions in Silicon Valley, largely in the tech and music sectors) and the product has now existed longer without Frankel than with him. Its user base continues to stagnate as competitors like Rdio, Spotify, and Pandora—to say nothing of iTunes, which last year sold its 15 billionth song—continue to thrive.
But Geno Yoham, Winamp's general director since October 2008, argues that Winamp will continue to do well as a media player, particularly in emerging markets where Apple hasn't penetrated as well.
"iTunes is number one, and we're number two," he said. "There's a lot of value in the Winamp brand, the media player that's on your side."
Winamp says that it has around 30 million users worldwide currently (a figured based on comScore Web traffic analysis), with less than one million in the United States. The company is also starting to target specific platforms (read: Android) rather than specific markets. Winamp reports that since the Android launch of Winamp in October 2010, it has seen over 19 million installs. Could Winamp rise once more?
"We're thinking about [buying Winamp] again," said Josh Felser, the former Spinner executive and current venture capitalist, who said he and other investors also tried to buy Winamp from AOL in 2003. He's still in love with the idea of Winamp, and with the community it spawned, and believes that someone could still capitalize on all that potential.
"Winamp had the start of something social in music," he said, dismissing the music sharing that Spotify is now doing on Facebook. "That's just seeing what people are listening to. It doesn't feel right."
"[Winamp] had a very distinct, edgy, tech-savvy community, and that's a valuable community to lots of people. That would be a big thing to understand. What are the set of features that we can attach to it to make it become more relevant again? I don't have it. I'd have to get serious about that."
But, he admitted, no significant steps have been taken in terms of talking with AOL about a possible acquisition.
"Although the idea of starting with that basis [of an existing community and a history] is exciting," he said with a grin, "I haven't given it more than five minutes thought."

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Despite automatic spending cuts instituted by the federal government, Fleet Week Port Everglades 2103 is ready to set sail.
"Fleet Week will be Fleet Week," said Mary Anne Gray, the executive director of Broward Navy Days.
Gray said those who attend can expect to see 800 sailors, two U.S. Navy destroyer, one Navy submarine, and one Coast Guard fast-response cutter.
"All our activities will be the same," said Gray. "We are going to have the same kind of crowds to come out and greet the ships... This area is fantastic for welcoming our military into the community, so we really don't see a downside of having smaller groups."
In 2012, 1,200 sailors and a fourth Navy ship were at Fleet Week.
"No one's going to know the difference," said Gray. "That's what Broward Navy Days is all about -- taking care of our military and we do it on a all year-round basis."
Fleet Week Port Everglades is scheduled from April 29 through May 6.

Mga Kapatid
FAHC traces its roots to a committee of Mga Kapatid, Filipino–American Student Association, at the University of California, Davis, between 1981—1985. The Filipino Association for Health Careers (FAHC) was established in 1981 by a group of Filipino students who shared the common goal of promoting health awareness and resources for people interested in pursuing careers in the health field. As a committee of Mga Kapatid, the leaders felt that as a separate organization, the group would be able to have more access to resources, funding, and room rentals.
Cession and Establishment
In 1985, "the committee" ceded from Mga Kapatid and established itself as an independent student organization with a shared vision of promoting health awareness and supporting students aspiring to pursue a health–related career. The newfound organization was registered with the Student Programs & Activities Center at the University of California, Davis as the Filipino Association for Health Careers.

NEW ORLEANS — In what appeared to be a best-case scenario last week, the New Orleans Hornets would have won home games against Washington and Minnesota around an impossible road task at Oklahoma City.
That would have sent coach Monty Williams' team on this four-game road trip, which begins Sunday night in Portland, with a measure of confidence.
However, the opposite took place. The Hornets (5-17) were outclassed by the two teams they should have kept pace with, particularly at home, with a surprisingly close loss at OKC providing some encouragement for a team in desperate need.
It all added up to an 0-3 week, pushing the losing streak to six. Most discouraging was Friday night's loss to the Timberwolves — a team New Orleans had no answers for defensively. Minnesota's big men pushed the Hornets around and their guards sliced and diced them with the pick-and-roll and 3-point shots.
"We go from having a chance to win to playing a team that just beat San Antonio," said Williams, who canceled Saturday's practice to let his team rest its legs and psyche with games at Portland, Golden State, the Clippers and San Antonio in six days, followed by a home game Saturday against Indiana.
Portland (10-9) defeated San Antonio 98-90 on Thursday night at home. It came on the second of a back-to-back games situation, the fifth game in seven nights for the Spurs, but a win is a win.
Afterward, coach Terry Stotts could hardly restrain himself.
"Beating a team like San Antonio — the best team in the West, maybe in the league — it was probably our best win this season because we played an entire game, and we didn't have to come back," he said. "We were steady and played well throughout."
Impressive for the Blazers were that they were in control from start to finish and that rookie point guard Damian Lillard outdueled one of the league's top point guards in the Spurs' Tony Parker.
Lillard had season highs of 29 points and seven rebounds and also had six assists. He shot 11-of-22 from the field. Parker had 21 points and five assists.
The Blazers are seeking their third win a a row. Since starting the season 2-5, they are 8-7 despite playing nine road games (3-6) of late. They are 5-1 at home in that time, the only loss being a 99-80 home clunker on Dec. 8 to the Kings, who came to Portland intent on avenging a 93-76 embarrassment in Sacramento on Nov. 23.
But perhaps that should give the Hornets hope, certainly if they look at how the Kings won. Sacramento pounded the ball into center DeMarcus Cousins and drove to the basket with their perimeter players against the Blazers, who rank 24th in the league in points allowed (100.2) and 29th in opponents' field goal percentage (47.1). The Kings also forced 19 turnovers — including nine in the first quarter.
Perhaps the Hornets can replicate what the Kings accomplished, although the game will be at the Rose Garden, a challenging venue for visiting teams. But guards Greivis Vasquez and Austin Rivers, a rookie coming on, have shown a propensity of late to make driving shots.
And power forward Anthony Davis will be playing against Lillard, an early leader for Rookie of the Year. That that may compel Davis to pick up where he left off before he was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left ankle, when he had a season-high 28 points along with 11 rebounds at Milwaukee.

A 'POLITE' streaker stripped naked in a charity shop and browsed the shoe display.
The man, who was in his forties and described as rounded and flabby, went into the Cancer Research branch in Malmesbury, walked into the changing room and spent some time trying on clothes before emerging stark naked.
Sgt Martin Alvis from Malmesbury Police said a customer warned the female assistant. "She was told there was a naked man in the shop looking at shoes."
The assistant approached the man and calmly asked him: "Can you put your clothes back on?"
He agreed and returned to the changing room to dress before leaving.
He was not recognised as local and police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened at around 5.15pm on Thursday.
The man was white, aged 40 to 45, of stocky build and between 5ft 6ins and 5ft 8 ins tall.
He had brown and grey hair cut in a short back and sides and was wearing a pink tee shirt, medium grey joggers and dark training shoes.
He spoke with a local accent.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Wiltshire Police on 101.

Jackson gets positive feedback on hitting progress
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- When Brett Jackson arrived in Cubs camp this spring with his new swing, he was encouraged by the progress he made. Yet no matter how the center fielder does, he was expected to open the season at Triple-A Iowa.
"I just try to make every day a work day," Jackson said Thursday, "and treat that work day like it's the most important work day. I've gotten a good amount of playing time and I'm happy with the way my work days are going. I put 100 percent in every day and I try to stay within every day. What's going to happen on April 1 is out of my hands."
What's been encouraging are Jackson's at-bats. Entering Thursday's game, he was batting .286 (4-for-14) in 12 games with one double, two triples, four RBIs, five walks, and five strikeouts. In 15 games last spring, he batted .276 (8-for-29) with one double, one triple, seven RBIs, six walks and 10 strikeouts.
"It's obviously nice to see the hard work pay off, and I continue to work hard and I think that's me as a player, that's me as a person," Jackson said. "Regardless of how my career goes, I know I put in 100 percent every day and I can go home every day knowing I can put 100 percent in.
"As far as hitting has gone and my at-bats, I was talking to [assistant hitting coach Rob Deer] the other day and I think more than 95 percent of my at-bats have been quality at-bats, and I think that's all I can control," Jackson said. "I have to keep working on having quality at-bats and that's all I can do, all I can control. I think I'll be the type of player who can help the team win. That's all I care about."
Jackson has gotten positive feedback from the Cubs coaching staff.
"This is a great atmosphere to be a player and to be a young player," Jackson said. "It's starting to be a really great culture. I'm excited with the guys who are around, and the coaching staff are guys you want to play for. That's encouraging and motivating."

Today is Constitution Day, the 226th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. It's a day dedicated to the education and celebration of one of our nation's principal founding documents. So, how much do you know about the U.S. Constitution? For example, did the Senate initially want the Constitution to refer to the U.S. President as "His Highness the President of the United States of America and Protector of their Liberties"? Find out when you take the Washington Post Constitution Day Quiz.
You can also celebrate Constitution Day by visiting Pepperdine University's Payson Library, where rare Colonial documents are currently housed in our Special Collections Reading Room (appointments recommended). Featured in the recent library exhibit, "Becoming America: An Exhibition of Colonial Documents," the materials available for browsing span from 1686 to 1781 and represent the cultural, philosophical, and political atmosphere leading up to and during the Revolutionary War (see image above). Although the exhibit has ended, these priceless Colonial-era documents are currently on loan to Payson Library from Pepperdine alumnus and attorney Michael J. Marlatt (JD '84).
Happy Constitution Day!

Party Patrol hits the streets near Oregon campus
EUGENE, Ore. - Welcome back, students: The Party Patrol is off the chain and on the loose.
And while they might be wearing the kinds of costumes that would fit in at a disco party, the Eugene Police don't just want you to have fun tonight.
They want you to obey the law.
SKIP TO: Party Management | What If Party Gets Out of Control | Violations & Crimes
On Thursday night, the Party Patrol cited or arrested 19 University of Oregon students, mostly for alcohol violations.
Police cited 8 UO students for Open Container; 3 for Minor in Possession; 7 for Prohibited Noise; 2 for giving False Information to Police; 1 for DUII and another for Hit/Run.
While some students might have had run-ins with police on Thursday, some students told our news team they still know how to party smart.
"Have someone that can either takes care of you, or you're taking care of someone else," said student Kory Christofferson. "You know you can't do this, or someone else can stop you if you're going too far."
This is the second year of ramped-up Party Patrols. Police said they noticed increased compliance with the law throughout the year after actively enforcing the law during the first weeks of the school year.
Campbell House-resident Paige Corich-Kleim said she saw nearly two dozen people get arrested by officers last school year. She said the house takes precautions so they don't have a repeat this year.
"We always have somebody who's a sober police liaison and we also usually tell our neighbors about the party and make sure folks around know what's going on," said Paige.
An Oregon Liquor Control Commission investigator Mark Jaehnig said that those hosting a party need to ensure that all those consuming alcohol are 21 or over.
"Keep the numbers down, make sure you're not annoying the neighbors with late night band equipment or stereo equipment," said Jaehnig.
The changes came in the wake of drunken riots in 2008 and 2010 in the neighborhoods near campus.
Some students responded last year by hiring private security firms to help maintain order at parties.
Students also took aim at the law itself. The City of Eugene also put a Social Host Ordinance into effect, holding the renter - and, if problems persist, the landlord - accountable for out-of-control parties. The status of a student-led effort to repeal the ordinance is not known.
Party Management Tips
Respect your neighbors. Find ways to celebrate that do not infringe upon your neighbors and that are alcohol-free.
Control the guest list. "Come one, come all" parties usually result in police contact. Have a door monitor to screen guests. Don't let random people who walk around looking for parties, into your house.
Adults only. If you choose to serve alcohol, ensure that you only serve to persons 21 years of age or older.
Plan ahead. Notify neighbors well in advance of the date, times and location of the party. Give them a telephone number and the name of the person to contact if there is a problem (and be responsive to their calls!).
Monitor noise levels. Keep doors and windows closed to reduce outside noise levels.
Discourage drinking games. Have a non-drinking person serving alcohol and don't let people carry alcoholic beverages outside of your party.
Clean it up. Your neighbors may be more tolerant of your next party if you clean up promptly after this one. Clean up debris from your yard or the street.
Safety first. If you are concerned for a friend's medical safety-such as suspected alcohol poisoning-call 9-1-1 immediately.
Prevent drunk driving. Arrange for transportation by a designated driver before anyone drinks. Make sure arrangements are understood by everyone. Ensure people don't drive under the influence (a person riding a bicycle under the influence may also be arrested for DUII). As the party host, you are also liable.
What if your party gets out of control?
If your party gets out of hand, call the police. EPD will come out and help you regain control.
Respond positively if a police officer comes to your house. The officer most likely is responding to a complaint. Make sure the person interacting with police officers at the front door is sober and able to be responsive to officers' requests. Citing the Unruly Gathering Ordinance: it is an affirmative defense to a citation issued for a violation that the person who organized or hosted an unruly gathering contacted the police as soon as any of the violations or offenses listed in the definition of "unruly gathering" occurred.
Interfering with police officers makes a bad situation worse. Use common sense and be cooperative.
When a police officer asks you to clear an area, leave right away. If you stick around to see what's happening, you may be in a situation where you are interfering with a police officer. If police warn that they are going to use tear gas, you need to quickly get as far away as you can.\

World War I, Revolution and Pogroms
August 1914. We moved to the new house we built near the church building in the center of town (in Torhovitsa). That same day we finished moving all of our possessions to the new house, and heard people talk about draft call-up notices that had appeared on the streets. In the evening, Alik the Cryer and a drummer announced that all citizens of a certain age group had to appear the next day at the draft registration offices. We, the children, ran after Alik and his drum even without knowing what the news was about. This "children's game" and the drum beats informed the town that World War I had begun. I was 7 years old.

Oglethorpe student Joseph White '14 has been awarded a GAIN Scholarship by the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) to study abroad. He'll use the award to spend his spring semester in Seoul studying South Korea's culture, language and politics. Joe will be the first Oglethorpe student to study abroad in the politically tumultuous country.
GAIN scholars are selected for their dedication to internationalizing their education. While in South Korea, Joe will fulfill the study abroad requirement for his international studies major, and will study North Korean politics as part of his politics minor. He plans to work in politics with an emphasis on Korean affairs, an interest that began several years ago.
Joe first had the opportunity to travel the summer after he graduated from Stars Mill High School. Most of his friends visited Europe for their pre-college travels, but he wanted to try something a little more adventurous.
"I went to Korea for about two weeks to visit a friend that was teaching English there. I toured around the area, didn't do a whole lot of stuff I wanted to do, but did some of the major tourist highlights. But now I really want to get involved with their culture, their language, and even potentially some of their history."
When he received the opportunity to study abroad at Oglethorpe, it was this location that called to him. As assistant to Dr. Jeffrey Collins in OU's study abroad office, Joe spent this semester helping other students abroad.
"I make sure that their classes are going well, that they're integrating into society, stuff like that. If there's something wrong personally with them it's easier to talk to a student than it is to talk to a teacher. I'm that buffer between student and teacher." Now, though, he's ready to be in their shoes.
"The school [in Korea] is ranked one of the ivy league in the Asian Pacific. And it's the only one that offers North Korean politics. That's the reason I want to go there—to study Korea's relationship with its fellow Koreans up north and how North Korea affects everything in that area. Especially because, South Korea being one of our main allies, if anything happens to (them) we're obligated to engage and support them."
He's been preparing for the trip by studying the language on his own and working with his martial arts master, a fluent Korean speaker. His study of martial arts influenced his study abroad decisions tremendously. "I've been doing [Taekwondo], which is the Korean national martial art, for over 11 years now. When I went to Korea the first time, I got to visit the place where it all started. I want to spend more time understanding the theory and philosophy of Taekwondo." It's this familiar, yet exotic, culture that Joseph is excited to immerse himself.
Joseph's course load will be heavy on Korean language, which he hopes to speak by the time he graduates. His language classes will have a cultural immersion element that will give him the chance to speak, write and read Korean as well as visit with native speakers. "I want to work with the State Department with Korean affairs, because I love the country and I love the people and I respect them very much. So, wherever I go, either D.C. or a national hub like Atlanta, I want to be able to work closely with Korean culture and maybe even business…and possibly be an ambassador to South Korea for the United States."
"Joe White winning this scholarship to study in Seoul is a great honor for both to our university and to Joe," said Dr. Jeffrey Collins. "The program is highly competitive, and it is the first time for an OU student to win a CIEE scholarship to study in Seoul. It only indicates how global OU has become, and how we are now known and respected across the world for our academics and student engagement. I am terrifically proud of him."

The widow of Sen. Robert Kennedy broke a loaf of bread and began distributing it to the farmworkers and their nearly 1,000 supporters who were in Lakeland to urge officials of a supermarket chain based there to consider the needs of those who toil in the fields to pick the produce sold in their stores.
Father Richard Walsh, pastor of St. Margaret Mary Parish in Winter Park, had joined the farmworkers on the fourth day of the fast and read a message from Orlando Bishop John G. Noonan, who said: "We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters today who fast for fair food. We pray for you and your efforts during this season of Lent that justice will be achieved through just wages and that the dignity and rights of those who work to bring food to our tables be respected."

text: Pompa-Baldi makes a brilliant return with W.Va. Symphony By David Williams September 21, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Shostakovich composed 15 symphonies in his long career. Some, like numbers 5, 8, 9 and 10, are startlingly good. His first symphony, finished when he was 19, might be a student work, but is in some ways the equal of any of them (I'm talking about you, No. 5).The West Virginia Symphony opened its new season with a bracing performance Friday night at the Clay Center. Conductor Grant Cooper has been a sympathetic interpreter of Shostakovich and his take on the First had insight, depth and panache.Some have argued that the episodic nature of the piece is a drawback to its quality, but in Cooper's approach, the sense of continuity was compelling. Notably, the last movement, which can sprawl, seemed taut and logical while balancing fire and pathos.The piece also had many passages for the orchestra's solo winds, brass, percussion and principal strings. Violinist Amelia Chan and cellist Andrea Di Gregorio had lovely solos in the slow third movement, along with oboist Lorraine Dorsey and hornist Marsha Palmer. Clarinetist Robert Turizziani, pianist Vicki Berneking-Cavendish and bassoonist Klif Hodgkin showed fleet technique in the scherzo and fast movements. Timpanist Scott Christian had a climactic solo with penetrating tone, both soft and loud, in the finale. In 2008, I thought pianist Antonio Pompa-Baldi's performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 was one of the best performances I had heard in Charleston in my 18-year tenure as music critic. He made another brilliant case for his artistry Friday night when joining the orchestra in Grieg's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16. The piece is a warhorse, but Pompa-Baldi did not bluster about in it. Rather, he brought steel tone crusted in elegance to the powerful passages in the outer movements while drenching the lyrical figuration in translucent warmth. The cadenza at the end of the opening movement had breadth, drama and poetry. The slow movement was golden-toned. His rhythm is always impeccable in its refinement.Cooper's accompaniment was sympathetic and aptly balanced. The finale was loose, formally, but in a performance so sincere, it's hard to fuss about it.The audience brought Pompa-Baldi back for an extended ovation.Britten's quirky "Suite on English Folk Tunes," Op. 90 opened the concert. Talk about variety: timpani opposite unison strings to start, Melody Rapier in an extended harp solo in the second movement, an acerbically dissonant piece for winds and snare drum, a fiddle tune for just violins (divided in many more than two parts) and a moving finale with Alex Winter's soulful English horn and the strings featured.The Clay Center concert repeats at 8 p.m. Saturday.

When I first saw folks talk about the Accuquilt line of products online a few months ago, I was curious. How could you speed up your fabric cutting? How much easier could it be? When I was sent a Go! Baby machine to review, I decided to put it to the test against my trusty Olfa rotary cutter.
The Go! Baby claims it's 90 percent faster than traditional rotary cutting. For this test, I decided to cut 30 23″ strips to make one crib-size quilt top. I cut the same amount of strips for each technique.
For the educators out there, the Go! Baby is just like an Ellison machine. The dies cut when pressure is pressed upon them, but unlike an Ellison, the Go! Baby cuts when the die is rolled across the machine. You apply a little a bit of pressure to get it going and then the turning of the hand crank moves it across the machine. It's easy to use.
Before I share the experiment results, here's how the machine works.
These are the dies I was sent – a basic strip and squares.
When you use the dies, you place a hard plastic cover on die as it goes under the pressure point.
Fabric on the die before the plastic over.
The Results
It took me 29 minutes to rotary cut all my pieces for the first quilt. It took me about 35 minutes to use the Go! Baby machine to cut the second set of fabric. All in all, not that significant of a difference. With the basic geometric shapes, I'd say stick to rotary cutting. However, I can the Go! machines being a big time saver for unique shapes, such as hearts and stars, for applique projects.
One thing that confused me was to why some of the dies kept the pieces still connected to the fabric once it had been cut. There's an explanation in the die directions, but I still didn't understand. This added more time to my cutting after I ran the fabric through the machine.
If you're not a fan of rotary cutting or you do a lot of applique projects, give this machine a try. However, if you think rotary cutting is ok, just stick to the basics.
And it wouldn't be a big post from me if my cat didn't want to get involved…

Hattler: No Eats Yes
Karlssonwilker Inc., New York, New York, 2000
The biggest challenge was starting something without having a clue how the whole thing might turn out. For two weeks, I did one little black-and-white illustration a day, then I just put them together in the CD package. Mood changes from hour to hour and day to day—and so did my daily illustration. All the guys at Polydor did everything to make it work, but they told me afterwards that the placement of the sticker on the cover was a nerve-wracking production nightmare. I'm happiest with the way that the production guys put a second barcode on the back, because somehow they weren't able to replace the FPO barcode with the real one.

Vikings close season with hard-fought loss
October 27, 2012
Quarterback John Cefalu and the Vikings didn't go down without a fight Friday.The Wolverines couldn't shut the Vikings' offense down in the first half, but Truckee came out with a vengeance in the second to pull out a 63-28 win. The loss put an end to South Tahoe's five-game win streak, but not its winning season. The Vikings finished the year with a 5-4 record. Truckee smashed out of the gate in the first quarter. The Wolverines snuck past Tahoe to strike first on a 63-yard punt return. They then ran the ball straight up the middle to grab a commanding 14-0 lead. South Tahoe had seen it before though, and Cefalu stayed calm. Cefalu patiently started working the ball downfield with a series of short passes spread out to the Vikings receiving staff. Cefalu then found Kyle Moreno with a four-yard touchdown pass and with it, the Vikings busted up the shutout. Chris DiGrande was good for the point after touchdown with three minutes left on the clock.The Vikings weren't done. They slammed into Truckee on the kick return forcing a fumble and recovering on the Wolverines' 40.Cefalu started the procedure again. A 17-yard pass to Cale Backinger here and quick handoff to Dylan Gardner there and the Vikings were within striking distance.Cefalu then cut the Wolverines lead to one with an 11-yard bullet to Kyante Wilson. The Wolverines, however, got the final word when quarterback Erik Holmer handed off to Jake Pettit, who drove up the middle to find end zone with 27 seconds left.Yes, this was all still in the first quarter.The Wolverines added two more TDs to open the second quarter, but Cefalu kept the Vikings in the game. The QB hit Brandon Cramer with 64 yards on a TD pass then found Cramer again for the two-point conversion. The game was now within two possessions and the Vikings hung onto their momentum as they stopped Truckee on its next drive. Cefalu capitalized on the turnover. He found Backinger with an 18-yard pass and the PAT brought the game within one touchdown. But the score was too close for the Wolverines, and Truckee turned up the heat on the chilly night. The Wolverines served up two more touchdowns to close out the first half.South Tahoe entered the second half trailing 49-28, and Truckee devoured the clock with runs up the middle. The Wolverines added two more in the third, eclipsing any chance of a Vikings comeback.

Teaser Image Inside...
Despite the rumors, NECA's third assortment of Prometheus action figures have not been canceled... the lineup has just been altered. In a nutshell, sales for the Prometheus series, while good, have not been strong enough yet to justify the cost of the all-new tooling required to produced the original Series 3 lineup of Infected Fifield and Elizabeth Shaw. Instead of pulling the plug on the line, NECA is attempting to garner more support and sales to hopefully produce Shaw and/or Fifield by releasing a Series 3 that takes advantage of existing tooling. Case in point: the teaser image above showing off what is strongly believed to be a Holographic Engineer. More details on this assortment to be announced, but Promotheus Series 3 is slated for release sometime this summer.

Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau was fined $35,000 after he complained about officiating in his team's 104-94 Game 3 loss to the Miami Heat.
The play in question caused plenty of controversy on Friday because it concerned LeBron James, the NBA's best player being shoved to the ground. James received a hard foul from Nazr Mohammed near halfcourt, clearly an intentional foul with zero basketball intentions on his end. For James' part, the NBA's MVP responded by swinging Mohammed to the ground.
Referee Joey Crawford quickly called James for a technical as he tried to get control of a physical game between rivals. Soon after the whistle, Mohammed pushed James to the floor and was ejected, taking away one more body from an already-depleted Bulls team.
Following the game, Thibodeau wondered aloud whether James embellished.
"From my angle, I just saw a guy flop," Thibodeau said. "I'll leave it at that. Nazr is a big part of our team. He normally gives Jo a rest, but we had to extend his minutes. Nazr is a big part of our rebounding, especially offensively."
Mohammed apologized after the game, and James said he never intended to follow up with any reaction to Mohammed's push.
"I sat right there when my teammates helped me up," James said. "I mean way too much, way too much to my teammates to try and retaliate. Don't make no sense. I'm here to play basketball."
The Bulls and Heat have played some physical basketball thus far. Miami leads the series, 2-1, after defeating the Bulls at the United Center on Friday.
