Former Bradford Town footballer Craig Guthrie will be fighting through the pain barrier to complete the Bath Half in memory of his late father next month.
The 33-year-old plumber suffered a knee injury two years ago which saw him temporarily give up playing, but that hasn't stopped him entering the race.
He hopes to raise funds in tribute to his father Robert, who died aged 60 of throat cancer last year – on the day after Craig's wedding to girlfriend Victoria.
Mr Guthrie, 33, said: "Dad was too weak to come to the wedding, and in the morning he was taken to hospital.
"I had a phone call during the course of the meal and they said to come to say goodbye, so I left the wedding and went to see him.
"I went to speak to him and said what I could. He couldn't reply, but he wanted me to go back and enjoy the rest of the day. The next day I went back to the RUH and he passed away."
He is now hoping to raise £400 for the RUH's Forever Friends appeal for the new cancer unit.
"It was what my dad wanted," he said. "He had been treated there, and the work they do is really special."
He started training in October, after recovering from a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament, and is now back playing for Freshford United.
He said: "Training has been slow going, but my knee is slowly improving.
"Lots of people who knew dad have promised to support me.
"He was so well-known in Bradford, at the crematorium people couldn't sit down it was so busy, which was such a tribute."
Robert Guthrie had worked primarily in pubs in Bradford. He ran the Three Horseshoes and The Bear, and also worked in The Grapes before he died. He also worked on market stalls, and was a regular at The Plough on Trowbridge Road.
Mr Guthrie senior had two stepsons, Neil and Lee Smith, and his wife, Craig's stepmum, Geraldine Guthrie.
Craig lives in Melksham with his wife Victoria, but he comes from Bradford.

Merriman seeking money from former Duke hoop stars
By Brent Schrotenboer, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 5:50 p.m.
While his holdout from Chargers training camp continues, linebacker Shawne Merriman has had other matters to deal with. This week it was an ongoing dispute in federal court with former Duke basketball players Christian Laettner and Brian Davis.
On Monday, Merriman filed an affidavit in Maryland that said Laettner and Davis company, BD Ventures, owes him $3.64 million, plus $998.76 per day in interest. The amount stems from a loan Merriman and his company, S.M. Real Estate, made to the former Blue Devils company in 2007. The loan was to be fully repaid in March 2009, but Merriman, who played at the University of Maryland, sued them in federal court in April 2009, saying he wasnt repaid as promised.
Merrimans affidavit this week reasserts what he says is owed to him as part of a request to the judge to make a summary judgment in his favor.
Under terms of the deal, Merriman was to receive rights in Laettner and Davis real estate and business ventures. Merriman has asked a federal judge to award him a 10 percent interest in real estate projects in Atlanta , Baltimore and Durham, N.C, according to his contract with BD Ventures. If those projects fail, Merriman's affidavit says he has the right to convert them into interests in the former Blue Devils' other projects. Laettner and Davis have been hit by multiple suits related to unpaid bills.
In deposition testimony in April, Laettner was asked about Merriman. Laettner said, I know that we owe him money and we havent been able to pay him.
Why not? Laettner was asked by an attorney for Merriman.
Because theres not enough money available in the business to pay him back, Laettner responded, according to a transcript.
Why not? the attorney asked again.
Thats a good question, Laettner responded in the transcript. I think the economy has a lot to do with it.

A rare coalition of conservationists and fishermen is demanding the federal government pay to restore native fish numbers in the Murray-Darling Basin after a 50-year plan with the states was axed.
The Australian Conservation Foundation and the Murray-Darling Basin Recreational Fishing Council will today condemn the sudden culling of the Native Fish Strategy and call on Canberra to fund a replacement.
The groups will say fish species native to the basin, such as the iconic Murray Cod, have suffered serious declines over the last century while many invasive species have thrived.
''Native fish populations are at roughly 10 per cent of pre-European settlement levels. The health of native fish populations is a key indicator of river health in the basin,'' they said in a statement.
The groups propose a new plan with two five-year stages to restore habitat, boost research and continue community programs. The first five years would cost $100 million.
It comes after state governments in September quietly canned funding for the popular Native Fish Strategy, following a NSW government cut in its contribution to the Murray-Darling Basin Authority – the body overseeing the river – by $20 million.
Under the now-axed strategy a series of fish ladders was built between the Murray mouth and Lake Hume to provide fish with safe passage through 2225 kilometres of river.
Many habitat restoration projects, community outreach programs and key scientific research were also carried out since the project started in 2003.
Another 3900 kilometres of fish passage was planned over the next 10 years of the strategy. Goals included stopping any new incursions of pest fish species.
The chair of the fishing council, Christopher Collins, said the group was deeply concerned about the effect the strategy's cut would have on native fish numbers.
He said the recreational fishing industry was worth $1.3 billion annually to basin communities.
The Australian Conservation Foundation's Ruchira Talukdar said there were several existing environment funds that could pay for the new fish plan.
The push comes as the federal government enters the final stages of negotiations with state governments over a long-awaited deal to return water to the river's environment.

CERRITOS - Three decades before Harry Potter, Samantha Stephens was casting spells and magic on the campy TV sitcom "Bewitched."
Samantha (played by Elizabeth Montgomery) was a witch married to a mortal man, and she couldn't resist using her magic powers - by twitching her nose - to solve her family's problems.
The show ran from 1964 to 1972 and was a hit thanks to its eccentric characters, outlandish costumes and Samantha's comical attempts to live the life of an average suburban wife.
But beneath the surface, the show at times had a serious message, says Cerritos resident Herbie J Pilato, author of the new book, "Twitch Upon A Star: The Bewitched Career and Life of Elizabeth Montgomery."
The season-seven episode "Sisters At Heart," for example, featured a theme designed to combat prejudice, Pilato said.
In the episode, the Stephenses' supernatural daughter, Tabitha, befriends Lisa, a young black girl, and the two friends want to be sisters. But after a bully in the park tells them it's impossible because they have disparate physical appearances, Tabitha employs "wishcraft" (whatever she wishes comes true) to make them the same color.
But the magic goes awry - white polka dots appear on Lisa and black polka dots appear on Tabitha. Samantha is confounded and calls witch doctor Dr. Bombay for a remedy.
Before casting the remedy spell, Bombay tells Tabitha and Lisa: "All men are brothers, even if they're girls."
"Elizabeth loved the episode. That's what she wanted `Bewitched' to be," said Pilato, who also authored 1992's "The Bewitched Book" and 2004's "Bewitched Forever." "The prejudice message wasn't directly talked about, but everybody knew. It was an underlying theme."
"Twitch Upon A Star" is based on Pilato's exclusive interviews prior to Montgomery's 1995 death.
The book follows her career before, during and after "Bewitched," and goes behind the scenes chronicling her political activism.
The book also explores Montgomery's tumultuous relationships with her father, screen legend Robert Montgomery, and her four marriages.
Besides the anti-prejudice message of "Bewitched," "Twitch Upon A Star" reveals other behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the show and Montgomery's life.
In an interview with the Press-Telegram, Pilato shared other information about the actress, her life and career:
Press-Telegram: How did Elizabeth Montgomery twitch her nose as Samantha on "Bewitched"?
Herbie Pilato: The night before they began rehearsals, Nov. 21, 1963, they were trying to figure a way for Samantha to manifest the magic. Director-producer Bill Asher, who was married to Elizabeth, turned to her and said, "What's the thing you do with your face when you get nervous?" Elizabeth had no idea what he was talking about, but he kept prodding her. The more he asked her the more nervous she got, and then she did it. He said, "That's it." It's not her nose. She moves her upper lip, and then the nose falls into place.
P-T: Did dueling affairs break up Montgomery's marriage to Bill Asher?
H.P.: Bill Asher loved women, and women loved him. He allegedly began having an affair during the third or fourth season of "Bewitched." When Elizabeth couldn't take it anymore, she banned him from the set. By the show's eighth season, Elizabeth allegedly began an affair with an assistant director on the show. She was tired of the show and tired of the marriage. When the show ended, so did the marriage.
P-T: In the mid-1980s, Elizabeth was an early advocate for people with AIDS. How did she began that activism?
H.P.: "Elizabeth was a very caring human being. She knew there were more important things in the world than acting. But she also knew that if she was going to be in the public eye, then she was going to do something positive with her public persona. Her father had been one of the first entertainment professionals to connect with political advocacy, and she followed in his footsteps in that regard, just as she had with acting.
Also, when she met and fell in love with actor Robert Foxworth, on the set of her 1974 TV-movie "Mrs. Sundance," he encouraged her to become involved with charity work. Both of them were always for the underdog, and those suffering from AIDS certainly fit into that category, especially in the 1980s when few celebrities had the courage to support the cause. Elizabeth said people in Hollywood weren't as damn liberal as they thought.
P-T: She also was a champion for the disabled community?
H.P.: Shortly before her death, Elizabeth donated her time to many recordings for the blind and did a television public service announcement seeking funding to help the visually impaired. In fact, she twitched her nose in those commercials. That was monumental because she had not done so since she left "Bewitched." But she knew that doing so for the PSA would bring attention and additional funding to a good cause.
People in the disabled community, visually or hearing impaired, were attracted to Elizabeth's performances in many ways. The visually impaired were attracted to her unique voice and the hearing-impaired were attracted to her expressive face.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
5 Cheese Antipasti Burger
This is a burger for "cheese people" with an Italian flare. Most people order a cheeseburger when they order fast food. This burger is loaded with good healthy ingredients that people are now asking for. We are a nation of fat and unhealthy people we need to do something about it and this is a start. You can use any type of cheese that you may like. This is just an idea to give people for different meals a home. The gas crunch has hurt most everyone and people, especially families with children are now cooking more meals at home. By the time you get the family in the car, drive to a "fast food" place, wait in line to get your order, drive all the way back home and you end up with a meal that is right around 1,500 calories per person when you could have had a healthy burger that tasted better and less expensive meal right at home for the same amount of time.
Bun mixture:
4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Burger ingredients:
2 ½ lbs. ground beef
2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons grated Romano cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon cilantro chopped
2 eggs beaten slightly
1 ½ cups Italian Bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese mixture:
½ cup asiago cheese, grated
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup Romano cheese grated
6 Kaiser buns
6 slices whole milk mozzarella cheese
Sandwich ingredients:
3 cups romaine lettuce (or any lettuce) washed dried and torn into bite size pieces
4 medium tomatoes, thinly slice
2 banana peppers, seeded and chopped
Wipe grill with a vegetable oil and heat grill to medium
Whisk together olive oil and basil in a small mixing bowl, until well blended. Set aside
In a medium size mixing bowl combine all the ingredients for burgers and blend well. Shape into 6 round patties. Grill burgers over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink, turning once. When burgers are almost done place mozzarella cheese on burgers and set the Kaiser buns, flat side down on grill until golden brown.
Meanwhile prepare the cheese mixture in a medium size mixing bowl, gently combine the cheeses and set aside.
Set Kaiser buns on 6 plates and brush the olive oil and basil mixture evenly on flat sides of Kaiser buns; divide salad greens, tomato slices and banana peppers and place on buns. Place patties on buns, cut horizontally and remove the top part of the burger. Spoon cheese mixture on each burger, put the other half of burger back on and spoon more cheese on and close sandwich. Salt and ground pepper to taste.
You can substitute the beef for 2 ½ lbs. ground chicken breast. Either way it's a great burger.

Signature Dish
Salad TrioThese three salads are great healthy alternatives to leafy green salads we're all accustomed to!
The Earthiness of the Red and Golden Beets is subdued by pickling them and adding the sweetness of the Orange segments and the tart Cider Vinaigrette give this salad a true Southern flare.
The paper thin sliced Rainbow Radishes and Pink Lady Peas really make this Red Quinoa Salad pop. The crunchy Cucumbers and smooth Avocados add nice texture to the chewy Quinoa and the White Balsamic Vinaigrette brings it all together nicely.
Kabocha Squash adds a beautiful contrast to this rich Black Rice salad. Pairing with sweet Golden Raisins, nutty Toasted Pecans, fresh Cilantro and Raspberry Vinaigrette give this salad a clean, fragrant feel. Check out menus

DETROIT - Detroit Mayor Dave Bing announced Wednesday Deputy Mayor Kirk Lewis will leave the administration and return to the private sector.
Lewis joined Bing's administration in 2010 as chief governmental and corporate affairs officer. He became deputy mayor in March 2012.
Lewis spent 22 years in the automotive industry before joining Bing.
"It has been a special opportunity to perform public service, and hopefully I have been able to contribute to the Mayor's transformation of Detroit. However, my background and strengths are in the automotive industry and therefore I'm looking forward to returning," Lewis said in a news release. "Having known the mayor for more than 40 years, I believe strongly in the direction he is moving this City. He has restored respect and trust back to the Mayor's Office, and thankfully I've been a part of the team that has assisted him in changing the conversation about Detroit and its future."
Bing wishes him well on his new path.
"Kirk has been an important part of my business career as well as my tenure as Mayor, and he has served well in both capacities. I know he has looked forward to getting back into the private sector. This opportunity is an excellent one, and I wish him well," Bing said in a news release.
Lewis stepped up his role this past year when Bing was out of work due to health issues.

Revlon Brow Fantasy Reviews
Good ideaI like the idea of this product, but the execution needs work. I really liked the pencil as it was smooth and easy to blend. I also really like that this comes in a shade for lighter blondes so brows don't look too dark. I found the gel a bit awkward to work with, however, as it was difficult to place and was a little thick too. — 5 years, 1 month agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews
Great Brow FillerI love this Brow Filler pencil because the color looks natural and it is the perfect way to draw your brows the way you want them. The color comes out firm and doesn't smudge and it is great for filling in the gaps in your brow line for a great look. — 7 years, 10 months agoStef42678 | 500 reviews
its okayits okay if you are needing a fill in, but if you need alot of fill in, I would suggest using a brush on brow color. Its cheap enough so you don't waste your money but if you are looking for something with more substance for your brows, this isn't the product for you. — 9 years, 4 months agoAmyB58 | 203 reviews
Love the Gel, Pencil is meh.I chose the Brunette color and was immediately drawn to the double tip applicator, gel on one end, pencil on the other end. The gel was great. The texture was natural and went on smoothly, didn't clump at all. The color was also subtle enough to add some color, but not make my brows too dark or dramatic. The pencil was also a good color match, but I found the pencil to be a bit hard. I would ...read moreprefer a formulation that glided on more easily. Although the color did work well for me, I could see how easy it would be to overdo it with this brow pencil and add too much color fairly easily. I need a light had with this product, especially the pencil end. I wish the applicator didn't require sharpening either, as I prefer the automated pencils. The standout part of this product was the gel. If Revlon sold just the gel separately, I would definitely buy that alone. I don't think I will us the pencil end very often, but can definitely see the gel being a regular addition to my makeup routine---it gives subtle color and fills in just a bit, but looks so natural. — 3 years, 8 months agoposhinprogress | 181 reviews
My favorite for my eyebrows!Love the pencil and gel liner combo! — 2 years, 8 months ago

Makes my brows look fantasticI love this but I haven't yet found a shade which matches my red hair. — 2 years, 9 months agoCadance | 11 reviews
Decent pencil, horrible gel.At first I absolutely loved this! The pencil did a decent job and the gel kept my hairs in place. Then I looked in a mirror a couple hours later and saw this gross cakey very visible residue in my brows from the gel. The gel is awful and leaves noticeable globs in your brows no matter how you use it. The pencil is pretty good but you don't get much of it and you have to press down hard to get pigmentation. I wouldn't recommend this. — 3 years, 3 months agomikenza | 77 reviews
Great Brows!Eyebrow pencils can be tricky, especially when finding the right color so it looks natural and just enhances what you are already working with. I love the Revlon Brow Fantasy Pencil and Gel. It has a two step application process: First, pencil in brow color with short, light strokes following the natural direction of brow hair growth. Next, brush sheer-tint gel through brows and let set. Remove...read mores easily with eye make-up remover and sharpens with universal points sharpener. There are several shades to choose from to get that perfect match too! — 3 years, 8 months agoProductFanatic | 47 reviews
Worthless GelI like the pencil; it goes on super easy and is blends nicely. The colored gel, on the other hand, tends to look like I decided to rub mud into my brows. I've given up on it, using the pencil with a clear mascara from Maybeline instead. — 4 years, 7 months agolittlespider | 7 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Today's guest blogger is Annette Schlagenhauff, Associate Curator for Research at the IMA. She is in charge of researching the provenance, or history of ownership, of European paintings in the IMA's collection.
On February 7, all eyes will turn to a movie called The Monuments Men, a much anticipated film directed by George Clooney and featuring a star-studded cast. It tells the story of several brave World War II soldiers who were tasked, against all odds, with preserving monuments in the paths of advancing Allied armies in the final months of the war. Once the war had ended, their mission was to find and safeguard treasures of European art stolen by the Nazis. Until now, their story was largely unknown to the general public, although art museums and provenance researchers had long been amazed by the valiant efforts of the men and women in the Monuments, Fine Art & Archives section of the military. They put their lives on the line in an effort to guarantee that Europe's finest cultural treasures were preserved for future generations.
As it goes with many Hollywood movies, the broad outlines of the story are true, but names and circumstances have been changed to fit a two-hour narrative structure. So if you are expecting a documentary, you might be disappointed and should watch The Rape of Europa instead, a film released in 2008 which is based on the ground-breaking book of the same title by the historian Lynn Nicholas. But The Monuments Men is to be commended for its ability to focus our attention on the hardships and tragedies as well as the successes of these cultural soldiers, most of whom were older than the average GI and elected to leave careers as artists, architects, archivists, conservators and other museum professionals in order to bring their particular expertise to bear in the Allied war effort.
One of the real-life Monuments Men was Thomas Carr Howe Jr., a native of Indiana. Born in 1904 in Kokomo, Howe was raised in Indianapolis before he left for the east coast to attend university. (If the name sounds familiar to Indianapolis residents or Butler University alumni and students, it's because his father taught at Butler and then served as its president from 1907 to 1920.) The younger Howe chose to pursue an art museum career and, in 1931, he was appointed assistant director at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, becoming that museum's director in 1939. During WWII, Howe joined the U.S. Navy and served there for two years before being recommended to serve as a Monuments Man.
When Howe returned to San Francisco in February 1946, the head of Bobbs-Merrill, the Indianapolis-based publishing company, asked him to commit his experiences as a Monument Man to writing. Howe agreed to do so, and later that same year his recollections were published with the title Salt Mines and Castles: The Discovery and Restitution of Looted European Art. Here we can learn that Howe was present at the Alt Aussee mine when Michelangelo's Bruges Madonna and van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece, both looted by the Nazis, were packed up and brought out of the depths of the mine under considerable time pressure due to the advancing Russian armies. He was also present several weeks later when a group of Monuments Men evacuated the art stored at Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria. Movie goers will recognize these place names, and Howe's published recollections were no doubt carefully studied by the team that created and produced the movie.
Saltmines and Castles tells yet another interesting story – and one that can be linked to a specific painting currently in the IMA's collection. Howe's first solo assignment in Europe – and the Monuments Men often travelled alone rather than as a team — was to retrieve a cache of 81 cases full of art from Grassau, a small town in southeast Bavaria, where Nazi loot had been discovered. In one of these cases was the IMA's masterpiece by Paul Gaugin, Still Life with Profile of Laval. This painting had been looted, along with many others, from a prominent Jewish collection (the Herzog Collection) by Hungary's Nazis in 1944. To safeguard their haul from the Russians, it was moved to the small town in Bavaria. Howe's efforts were almost thwarted by the Hungarian museum curator who was charged with safeguarding the art, but Howe prevailed and he brought the paintings to Munich where the Central Collecting Point was located. Several years later, it was restituted back to Hungary, and then back to the widow of the Herzog heir. She allowed a dealer to sell it, and it had a number of owners before it was acquired by the IMA in 1998. Long story short, a painting now located in Indianapolis was safeguarded by a Monuments Man from Indianapolis!

Belarus Trips
Bordering Russia and Ukraine to the east, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia to the west, land-locked Belarus is a bastion of Eastern European grandeur and a land filled with primeval woodlands and pristine lakes, bucolic rural settings and fervent folkloric traditions.
Some 40% of the national territory is forested. Bears, boars and powerful European bison all roam the countryside, a great destination for hikers and wildlife photographers. It is also home to more than 2800 lakes and many of them are protected as part of the Brasav Lakes National Park, making it a good place to cast a line, and if lucky, snag some eel, pike or catfish. Throughout Belarus, traditional guesthouses (including converted farmhouses and windmills) provide the opportunity to experience local culture and hospitality. Elsewhere, a plethora of rural spas and therapeutic retreats shift the focus to pure relaxation.
Belarus is one of the poorest countries in Europe, but it wasn't always so. In the days of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, it enjoyed considerable wealth, power, and prestige. Sadly, most of its historical heritage was lost in World War II, but a handful of important structures have survived: fortresses, castles, and ruins, mansions and palaces, and numerous Orthodox churches.Read more
Many travellers are particularly intrigued by the politics of Belarus, a land steeped in Soviet monuments, architecture, and history – not to mention legacies. Communism was officially established in Belarus in 1922, four years after the Bolshevik uprising in Russia. As a founding republic of the Soviet Union, it became the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic; today it is the Republic of Belarus, an independent sovereign state with a democratically elected parliament.
But unlike some neighbouring post-Soviet states, Belarus's move towards openness, democracy, and a market economy have been slow and fraught with set-backs. Ideologically, the nation remains faithful to socialism with around 40% of its population employed by the state (it is also one of the least democratic countries in Europe). President Alexander Lukashenko's self-described 'authoritarian ruling style' vividly recalls the days of the USSR – he has been ruling Belarus since 1994.
Economically, Belarus relies heavily on trade with Russia, particularly on its exports of heavy machinery and tractors. In true Soviet style, almost half of Belarus' population do not declare an official religion. Nonetheless, the country is changing, and the engine driving transformation is its capital, Minsk, now home to a slew of swish new hotels, restaurants, bars, shopping and conventions centres, all signalling the nation's willingness to engage with the world, the future, and the free market.

Year 5 and Year 6 children have been sawing, hammering and gluing to make medieval battering rams under the guidance of craftsman Dave Jackson.
He was at Carleton Endowed Primary School for a craft day, one of a series he has held at the school.
"The children love it – they're hammering, sawing and making interesting things," said administrator Beryl Holmes.
In the past, pupils had made Tudor ships and a World War Two Anderson shelter.
Headteacher Duggie Speight said: "Children in Year 5 and Year 6 made some fantastic battering rams with Dave Jackson. "I was very impressed with the commitment and skills shown by everyone. Well done.
"Thank you also to Dave for once again providing an inspirational and fun day."

All I seem to talk about lately is how hot I am. How hot my apartment is. How hot my poor furry cats are etc… Perhaps the worst part is sleeping at night though. You see, I'm a spoiled girl who until recently had spent the last three city summers in chilly centrally air cooled glory. So my pajama selection reflected this lifestyle and has been essentially composed of pants of cotton or flannel (I know…I know…how unsexy) in various prints and colors. Which was fine, but did I mention that I'm hot and sweating to death every night?! I desperately need new pajamas that are short, cool, and preferably cute – STAT.
Well ask the internet and she will deliver. Check out this sugary sweet cupcake studded chemise from Munki Munki. It doesn't get very much more adorable then that. This cheeky little number would be the perfect thing for me to beat the heat in. Especially since I've taken to running around the house in CK's t-shirts hoping that I don't inadvertently flash the neighbors. Click here to see a close-up view of the must-have cupcake print and start picking out the trashy beach book you're going to devour after you slip on this baker-chic lounge-ware. Operation sleepless nights has been officially put to bed.

Man dies after swim into Clackamas River near Gladstone
GLADSTONE, Ore. - A man pulled from the Clackamas River died at the hospital Monday afternoon, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said.
Water rescue crews found the man in the water near High Rocks City Park in Gladstone.Clackamas Fire spokesman Brandon Paxton said the man's friend called 911 after he didn't see him come up for air.Initial reports that the man jumped off a footbridge into the river were incorrect, according to Sgt. Robert Wurpes with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. The man went into the river to swim after his dog, Wurpes said. The dog survived.Rescuers said he had been underwater for about 30 minutes. He had a pulse while medics took him to a hospital, but he died after they arrived, according to Wurpes.The victim was identified as 61-year-old Jack William Davies of Sherwood.
"The Sheriff's Office wants to remind everyone to wear life jackets and be aware the water is still cold this time of year," Wurpes said in a news release. "There were no indications that alcohol played a role in this incident. However, the Sheriff's Office advises against mixing alcohol and any water related activities."KATU's Erica Nochlin contributed to this story.

Hello all,
Back in January I quit my band because I didn't have time anymore, and I decided I would rather have a family then be a rock star. We were kinda getting big in the area, so we got some studio time and recorded an 8 song cd. It was fun.
Anyway, to the point, one of the songs was named "Insomnia." I was so inspired by Chuck's work that I wanted to write a song about one (or many but only got around to one) of his books. Kinda like Metallica's One based on Johny got his gun.
The style of the band is kinda like Pantera or Godsmack or Killswitch Engadge.
Anyway, here it is for who ever cares to listen.
Also, if there are any other musicians who have Chuck inspired songs in the cult, please share.

Not only are these gluten-free and casein-free, they're good for you!
Nah, not really. But they are gluten-free and casein-free.
When Bob's Red Mill decided to commemorate Autism Awareness Month with guest bloggers bliggity-blogging about gluten-free casein-free recipes, I knew I could do it. I can do it! {positive self-talk}
In my new cookbook, Gluten-free on a Shoestring, I talk about how gluten-free should be enjoyable and affordable. Second-class citizens no more. And all but a few of the 125 recipes in the book (where indicated in the specific recipes) can be made with nondairy substitutes. That's important to me, because I feel a really strong connection, and debt of gratitude to the autism community. For good reason.
When my family first started kickin' it gluten-free (about 6 years ago, after my now 7-year-old son was diagnosed with celiac disease), we were casein-free, too. When we went gluten-free, my son Jonathan's his whole system was so off kilter, he could not tolerate casein. So we did gluten-free casein-free (GFCF). To be honest, back then many of the best resources were GFCF anyway. The autism community was a real boon to my family and me.
So, to say 'thank you,' I give you GFCF cinnamon buns.
There's a recipe for overnight Cinnamon Rolls in my book, but you have to be pretty darn determined to make those. They're worth it, but they're somewhat aspirational.
This recipe is an abbreviated version, made in muffin cups which helps support the dough, allowing for an easier rise and letting us rush the process a bit by adding more yeast. And they're buns.
How do you like my buns?
Dough Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if using flour that contains xanthan gum already)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening (I used a non-hydrogenated variety)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1 ½ cups nondairy milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
Filling Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Icing Ingredients
- ¾ cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 to 4 tablespoons nondairy milk
Dough-making directions
1. Combine flour, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, yeast, cream of tartar and cinnamon in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (no stand mixer? a large bowl will do). These are the dry ingredients.
2. Grease the wells of either a standard 12-cup muffin tin or a jumbo 6-cup muffin tin, and set the pan aside.
3. Add the shortening, vanilla and eggs to the dry ingredients one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. With the mixer on low speed, add the milk in a steady stream. The mixture should come together as dough. Once the dry ingredients have combined well with the wet ingredients, turn the mixer on at least medium speed and mix for about 5 minutes to activate the xanthan gum. The dough should be very thick and smooth, and even a bit sticky to the touch. In the end, it's easier to work with dough that is tacky at first. Trust me. Go with it.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and allow it to rest for a moment while we prepare the filling.
Filling directions
Place all of the ingredients together in a small bowl, and mix to combine well. The mixture will be grainy. Keep this mixture handy as you shape the dough.
Dough-shaping & assembling directions
1. These directions assume you are making 6 buns. If you are, in fact, making 12 buns, just modify the directions accordingly.
2. Divide the dough into 6 even pieces. For each piece of dough, roll it back and forth on the lightly floured surface into a cylinder about 6-inches long. Flatten the cylinder with your hands into a rectangle 6-inches long and 1 ½-inches wide. As you work, sprinkle the dough lightly with flour in sticky spots. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. Stack them horizontally, like the stripes on the American flag.
3. Scatter the filling evenly among the dough, gently pressing the filling into the dough so it doesn't come off as you roll the dough into buns.
4. Next, roll each piece of dough as tightly as possible into a bun, from one short side of the rectangle to the other.
5. Place each bun into a well of the muffin tin, and place the tin in a warm, moist, draft free location to rise for about 30 minutes. Don't worry about its doubling in size. These are quick(er) buns.
Baking directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place the muffin tin in the center of the preheated oven, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges of the buns are lightly brown and the center is solid to the touch. If you bake too long, the bottom will begin to burn. You have to judge the bottom by what you see on the sides.
2. Allow the buns to cool completely before icing them. If you ice them when they're still warm, the icing will melt and disappear right into the bun. And it's just plain prettier when they look iced.
Icing directions
1. Combine the sugar and milk and mix well. If you like thicker icing, use less milk. And vice versa.
2. Once the buns are cool, pour or spread the icing atop those beautiful buns.
3. Eat them all yourself. In a closet. In the dark. In the middle of the night. Quietly.
Warm regards, and warm cinnamon buns,
Nicole Hunn

Steak Frites
Serves 2
Boneless rib-eye steaks, well-marbled
Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper
2 russet potatoes
Vegetable oil
A pat of butter
Minced shallots
Chopped parsley
Baby arugula
1. Pat steaks dry. Season them liberally with salt and pepper; let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven — convection, if you have it — to 425 degrees. Peel potatoes; cut them into rough matchsticks, 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Pour a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil onto a rimmed baking sheet; place in hot oven for 5 minutes. Then carefully add potatoes. The preheated oil starts cooking the potatoes instantly and keeps them from getting greasy. Turn potatoes when the bottoms get brown; roast them for 20 to 25 minutes total.
3. Heat a cast iron skillet until it is screaming hot. Add the steaks and cook 3-4 minutes per side so the outside is browned and crusty and the inside is a nice medium-rare. (This will be smoky, but that's what your kitchen hood is for. Turn on the fan.) Let the steaks rest on a plate.
4. While the steaks rest, swirl a pat of butter and some minced shallots in the pan. Throw in a few tablespoons of chopped parsley to make an instant sauce for the steaks.
5. Slice the steaks. Place arugula on each plate. Top with steak; drizzle with pan sauce. Give the potatoes a good sprinkle of salt and pepper and scoop a few mounds of them next to the steaks.

Yanks rally after Pettitte exits, but fall to A's
Three-run sixth draws NY even, but Logan allows go-ahead homer
NEW YORK -- Though Andy Pettitte admits he is searching, Joe Girardi is refusing to find reason for alarm.
"I think two starts is way too little a number of starts to make a big deal out of it," said the Yankees' manager. "If it goes on for a month, then obviously there is some concern.
"If he was 26 or 32, we don't even ask the question. Because [he's 40], we ask the question."
Just three starts ago, against Tampa Bay, Pettitte, a 248-game winner, says he had the best cutter he could remember in years. After giving up 11 runs in his last two outings, including four in five innings in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the A's, he wants to know where his bread-and-butter pitch has gone.
"It's going sideways," Pettitte said. "Last time [9-1 Yankees loss to Houston], it was backing up. I love the battle, I would just like to have a little bit of an idea where the ball is going.
"Everything has been great in my [bullpen sessions]. But something is going on in the games. I can feel my release point floating around. You just know from the feel of your fingers, the ball is just not coming off right. It has been a long line time since I haven't had a feel for my pitches."
Two fastballs over the plate -- to Luke Montz in the third and Yoenis Cespedes in the fifth -- were crushed for home runs to left field on Sunday, putting the Yankees in a 4-1 hole in the fifth inning.
"The one to Cespedes, I think it was a pretty good pitch, but when you can't get the cutter in, they can hang over the plate for the fastball," said Pettitte.
The Yankees got Pettitte off the hook in the sixth, when Ichiro Suzuki's double chased home Vernon Wells, and Lyle Overbay dropped a single in front of Cespedes to score Travis Hafner and Suzuki. Preston Claiborne pitched two scoreless innings in his first Major League appearance to turn the game over to Boone Logan in the eighth with the game even.
That lasted one batter, until Josh Donaldson crushed a 1-1 fastball from Logan into the mezzanine to put Oakland back in front before the A's bullpen buckled down to survive Yankees threats in the final two innings.
In the eighth, with runners on first and second and one out, Ryan Cook struck out Jayson Nix and got Overbay to fly to just short of the right-center-field warning track. In the ninth, Brett Gardner singled with two outs and went to second on Grant Balfour's wild pitch to Robinson Cano before the A's decided to walk Cano, putting the winning run on base.
"I hated having to do it," said Balfour of issuing the walk. "I get two outs and a guy gets a single on a broken bat and, all of a sudden, there's a ball in the dirt and a base open.
"You got a guy that swings the bat pretty good and you got to put him on. You want to face everyone. You want to get everyone out."
Balfour settled for the last guy instead, blowing a 2-2 fastball past Wells to end the drama.
"Those are the moments you love to be in," said Wells. "Everything was set up for another memorable Yankee Stadium moment, and I didn't come through that time.
"He won that battle. I'm sure there will be plenty more."
Girardi says the same about Pettitte, who pitched to a 2.87 ERA in 2012, a season abbreviated by injury. In three starts, the last two especially troublesome, his ERA has grown from a 2.01 to 4.06
"I'm not going to judge someone on two starts," the manager said.
But one of the best pitchers of his era clearly is befuddled.
"I had no command of my fastball and I wasn't able to hit with my offspeed stuff when I wanted to," Pettitte said. "The other stuff is kind of floating around, and my cutter is non-existent right now.
"When I do throw a good one and then try again, and it's a bad pitch, it's hard to trust it again. I have to figure this out, hopefully pretty quick."

COUPON. A financial term, which, together with the practice, is borrowed from France. In the United States, the certificates of State stocks drawing interest are accompanied by coupons, which are small tickets attached to the certificates. At each term when the interest falls due, one of these coupons is cut off (whence the name); and this being presented to the State treasurer or to a bank designated by him, entitles the holder to receive the interest. [Bartlett]
The saddest thing in life is that the best thing in it should be courage. [Robert Frost]

Is it still timely to bring up the infusion of new players and the reintegration of injured players? Is that at all valid? I know I feel like it's becoming a broken record with the Pacers. Every NBA team faces those same challenges regularly. It's the reality of the league/pr sports. The good team find a way to adapt/overcome.
JOB definitely looks frustrated to me. Could this be the same as your lost characterization?

On Tuesday, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's Bureau of Criminal Investigation hosted the first of several training courses to teach authorities investigative strategies for unsolved homicide cases.The Unsolved Homicide Investigative Strategies and Resources training is happening Tuesday and Wednesday at the West Chester Police Department. Additional courses are planned across the state this year."Cold cases homicide investigations are very difficult to investigate because many of the crimes were committed years or even decades ago," explained DeWine. "The officers here today are determined to do everything they can to close some of these cases, and we want to help them do that."A total of 44 law enforcement officers from 21 police and sheriffs' departments registered toattend the two-day training course, which is part of the Attorney General's Ohio Unsolved Homicide Initiative.The training provides information on unsolved homicide methodology, initial assessment, protocol, and solvability. The course also explores DNA applications, investigative resources, criminal analysis of unsolved homicides, and three case studies of open cold case homicide investigations. According to the FBI, there are approximately 5,000 unsolved homicides in the state of Ohio alone.The Attorney General's Ohio Unsolved Homicides Database, a voluntary database for Ohio's cold case crimes, has now reached more than 1,000 case submissions. Officers from 55 agencies in 35 counties have submitted cases spanning from 1943 to 2012. For more information on the database, visit the Ohio Attorney General's website.
