The second annual Book of Lists feature in Business Jet Traveler, sister publication to Aviation International News, won't be published until June, but I can't wait to get started. So here, in no particular order, are three novels and three nonfiction works that I'd recommend to anyone looking for books to pack for a trip.
1. A Death in the Family, by James Agee. Agee is perhaps somewhat better known for his reportage on Southern sharecroppers in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, but this novel—which earned him a posthumous Pulitzer Prize—is arguably even more poignant. The story covers only a few days during which an ordinary man on an ordinary errand dies an ordinary death and his family grapples with the ordinary consequences. That's the entire plot in an anything-but-ordinary book that is much less about a series of events than a series of emotions. Trust me, if you start reading this when your jet takes off, your next encounter with the real world may be when the pilot taps your shoulder to tell you that you landed 10 minutes ago and had better disembark.
2. High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby. A lot of people loved the movie version of this book about a London record-store owner whose girlfriend not only leaves him for another man but also commits the cardinal sin of having a bad album collection. Personally, I found the screen adaption disappointing compared with the novel, which is never less than clever and frequently hysterical. If you're a romantic who's also obsessed with popular music, put this at the top of your list.
3. The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck. Chances are you've already read this classic about Depression-era Oklahoma farmers heading out for what they think will be a better life in California. If not—or if you haven't read it since high school or college—put this book in your suitcase even before you pack your clothes. Steinbeck's poignant story makes a powerful statement about the good and bad in human beings.
4. Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs, by Dave Barry. Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist Barry is always funny, but never more so than here. As with High Fidelity, it helps to be a music fan to fully appreciate the book, but anyone who could make it through these pages without regularly laughing out loud probably needs to go on Prozac.
5. The Years of Lyndon Johnson, Vols. 1–4, by Robert Caro. If Caro isn't the world's best living biographer (and maybe the best biographer who ever lived), e-mail me right now and tell me who is, because I'd like to read him or her. Caro's ability to convey both the strengths and weaknesses of his subject—a talent first revealed in The Power Broker, his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of urban planner Robert Moses—is unparalleled. So is his research, which allows him to describe 50-year-old events with the detail you might expect from a particularly observant eyewitness to something that happened yesterday. And his writing is magnificent. Incidentally, the 77-year-old Caro has been working on this riveting series for more than 35 years, and after four fat books, he still hasn't gotten around to the bulk of Johnson's presidency. Look for that in the next volume—in another five to 10 years. Meanwhile, these books should be sufficient to keep you in reading matter on your trip, even if you're headed around the world.
6. Shot in the Heart, by Mikal Gilmore. If ever there was a tale that showed how different siblings can be and how differently they can react to similar environments, it's this powerful autobiography. Gilmore suffered as horrific a childhood as you could imagine, in a family riddled with mental and physical abuse, alcoholism, adultery and even murder. His brother Gary—the subject of Norman Mailer's The Executioner's Song—committed a long series of thefts, armed robberies and assaults, starting at age 14, then killed two men in cold blood and became the first person executed in the U.S. after the restoration of the death penalty. And Mikal? He grew up to be not only a superb and widely acclaimed journalist but such a gentle, pensive soul that, after reading this book, I would have trusted him to babysit for my kids.

Showtime announces that Dexter season 8 will be the last, starts June 30
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Home Entertainment
Showtime has announced that the upcoming eighth season of Dexter will be the last for the popular series. The announcement came alongside the reveal that Dexter season 8 would begin on Sunday, June 30th. Showtime broke the news first on the Dexter Facebook fan page alongside a two-minute sneak peek where Dexter and Deb have a particularly intense conversation. If you haven't yet finished season 7, you'll wanna skip this one, since it has some pretty obvious spoilers in it. We've embedded the clip for you after the break.
What do you think of the news of Dexter coming to an end?

SOUTH BEAVER (AP) — State police have issued two traffic citations to a trucker whose rig collided with a police cruiser, killing a Western Pennsylvania state trooper, but say they will not criminally charge the man in the officer's death.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 48-year-old Gregory Golkosky, of Mount Pleasant, and the Associated Press could not immediately locate a listed phone number for him Thursday.
Golkosky was cited Thursday for careless driving and allegedly running a stop sign before his truck collided with a cruiser driven on patrol by 47-year-old Trooper Blake Coble on Oct. 4. Coble died in the crash in South Beaver Township, about 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
Coble was stationed with Troop D in Beaver, where his wife was a dispatcher. The couple had two children.

I held her legs. My brother held the knife. Our friends held their breaths. And the 9-month-old lamb, lying on her side beneath us, held nothing except, perhaps, a foreboding instinct that things were not going her way.
She was right. It was slaughter day at Fat Duck Farms, my brother's seven-acre experiment in 21st century food self-sufficiency. My friends and I woke up early that October morning and drove the 45 minutes from Santa Fe in guarded silence. Only one of us had ever participated in a slaughter before, and that had been years earlier. My brother himself was no expert—this would only be his second time—and when we arrived, he seemed ready to get it over with.
The five oatmeal-colored sheep huddled as we approached, casting us their nervous, one-eyed stares. When my brother stepped into the pen, they broke for the far corner. He followed them slowly, a Carhartt-clad Jack Nicholson-come-farmer. He was aiming for one of the young 'uns, and he wanted a male (like those San Angelo zealots, forward-thinking farmers keep their flocks female-heavy), but the first one he grabbed turned out to be female. He let her go, cornered the group again, and wrestled down one of her siblings as it tried to break past. "Goddamn," he said. "She's female, too."
He paused, the hapless animal squirming beneath his knee. My friends and I waited outside the pen. Would this be the one? How would he decide which life to take?
Did I really want to participate in this?
The largest animal I'd killed 'til then was the 8-inch brown trout I snagged out of the Tesuque creek when I was 13. Coached by my more experienced angler friend, I'd grasped the squirmy creature and whacked its head against a rock. It shivered uncontrollably. I panicked, and whacked it again and again, until my buddy stayed my arm, pried from my grip the mangled fish—now a 6-incher at best—and tossed it on the shore.
"I think that's done it," he said, and never invited me fishing again.
Some years later, in college, I flirted with vegetarianism, attracted by noble arguments that eating the flesh of our fellow animals was immoral, ecologically disastrous or just plain gross. In the end, though I still couldn't bite into a burger without wondering how the animal was raised, I never found an argument to outweigh the common sense theories that we Homo sapiens are biologically built to ingest meat now and again; or that land, when properly managed, does well to have a few hooves pounding over it. (And there was the problem of my late-night addiction to carne adovada burritos from the Frontier; better an honest carnivore than a hypocritical vegetarian, I figured.) "Fine," my vegetarian friends said, "if you're so set on eating meat, would you kill the animal yourself?"
"Sure," I said. "If I ever got the chance."
And here my chance had arrived, but as I watched my brother kneel on the sheep's shoulder, part of me hoped he'd give it up. Maybe the animal would be saved by her sex. Maybe we could call it a day, head over to La Risa Cafe for some carne adovada burritos and try again next year.
No such luck. "She'll do," he said at last. "Come in here and give me a hand."
I stepped into the pen. He grabbed the front hooves; I took the back, and with the animal slung like a futon between us, we lugged her toward the shed. (Mental soundtrack: Tom Waits' "Murder in the Red Barn.") The sheep was heavy and occasionally tried to kick, but it had little recourse against our opposable thumbs and scheming minds. Evolution, in this case, was on our side.
We pinned her on her left side on the concrete floor. My brother took up the knife, kissed her forehead, and then, looking into her eye—a ritual from biblical times—drove the tip of the blade through the tough hide of her throat, and found the jugular.
Tarantino would've been unimpressed: bright red blood gurgled undramatically from the gash. A few gasps escaped her snout. Her eyeball stilled. Her legs kicked a little—"a reaction of the nerves," someone offered drily—and then she was still: the transformation from living creature to, well, meat, had begun.
The tension of the kill dissipated almost immediately as we were soon occupied by an array of unfamiliar and—from a city-slicking human perspective—gruesome tasks. We were joined by a Navajo friend who'd grown up slaughtering sheep with her grandma (my own grandparents, alas, had always been more interested in playing gin rummy). She guided us as we cut off the head, hung the body upside down from a rafter hook, and pulled the hide from the still-warm carcass by lodging our fists in between skin and muscle (it's called "fisting"). We turned one of the "stomachs" inside out, scrubbed the honeycomb surface clean, and filled it with blood, cornmeal and potatoes to make sausage. We roasted the head, fished the liver out of a tray of entrails, and wound tubular sections of rinsed intestines around white chunks of fat to create ach'íí', a grilled Navajo delicacy. And we played butcher, cutting off chunks of shoulder and leg and back, wrapping them in white paper, weighing them and labeling them with a marker.
Most of the meat—around 40 pounds, all told—was packed into the freezer for my brother and his family, but we did get to nibble some grilled liver, blood sausage, ach'íí' (which tasted like grilled intestines wrapped around fat) and a hearty lamb stew. And though I've never much liked the taste of lamb, the meat went down surprisingly easy. For the first time since college, I could swallow with certainty, 100 percent confident that the animal I was eating had been raised in an ecologically friendly way and—with the exception, perhaps, of being carried like a futon—treated with dignity and respect, right up to the very end.

AMYLOIDOSIS can kill in as little as three months. Does that get your attention? It should. This insidious killer is still relatively unheard of, despite its ability to strike so quickly and mimic other diseases with similar symptoms. The Corvette world found that out all too well in March 2004, when Chip Miller, co-founder of Carlisle Events, succumbed to this rare malady.
On Sunday, November 8, the Corvette Club of Northern Delaware, the Keystone State Corvette Club, the Corvette Club of Delaware Valley, and the County Corvette Association joined forces to stage the third annual Corvettes for Chip show. The show is intended to fight amyloidosis by raising awareness of the disease and generating funds for treatments and research.
Corvettes for Chip 2009 took place at its new home, Brandywine Picnic Park in West Chester, Pennsylvania. According to the Corvette Club of Northern Delaware's Michael Crank, the show has grown from 175 cars on display in its inaugural year to 331 in 2009. Show sponsors, meanwhile, have jumped from just three to a total of 65. Best of all, the event raised $8,000, bringing its total-to-date to more than $14,000.
The Miller family was well represented by Chip's wife, Judy, along with son, Lance, and his family. Lance brought along a family gem in the form of the "Purple People Eater" 1959 Chevy Corvette C1, a motorsports legend that had slipped into obscurity at the end of its racing career. Little did the Millers realize that the car was stashed away in their own garage, hidden by a coat of white paint applied by a previous owner. Fully restored with its original purple hue, race number, and door lettering, the Vette was a real crowd pleaser.
How does the Miller family feel about the efforts being made at the Corvettes for Chip show? Lance Miller had this to say:
"What more can you ask for? We had great weather, awesome cars, and incredible people with big smiles on each of their faces while helping a good cause. This isn't just another good cause; it's something very near and dear to my heart. My father passed away in 2004 from this little-known disease called amyloidosis. If we had known about the disease earlier, there's a good chance he would have been at this event, sharing the smiles and the great time had by all. However, it was too late, and the disease took his life.
"It's great to see so many generous people come together in such a small hobby that we all love, while we endure so much in our lives. My family and I can't thank the Corvette hobby enough. I was fortunate to learn at an early age that the hobby isn't all about the car. It's about the people who own and cherish the Corvette. These people came out in force to raise over $8,000 for the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation. I'm certain my father was smiling down throughout the entire day. As he would say just about every day he was here, 'Life is good!'"
Chip Miller's story will resonate among the Corvette family for years to come, and thanks to the clubs, the show's participants, and the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation, research and awareness of amyloidosis will continue to move forward

No matter what time of year it is and what holiday is upon us, new developments in the neighborhood never cease. New restaurants, businesses, praise and that Hunters Point South project continue to move forth.
Here's just a few items to come through recently:
Chocomize, a maker of chocolate bars that can be customized with over 100 topping options, recently relocated to LIC. After outgrowing their second space, they came to LIC to expand.
Rockrose Development Corporation recently announced that they will construct a 42-story, 709 unit residential rental building at 43-10 Crescent Street. Linc LIC, the first of a four building projects, will be completed in 2013.
The current owner of the Citibank Tower at One Court Square will sell the property to Waterbridge Capital. The sale price has been estimated to be $500 million.
Three new restaurants have opened in LIC in the last few weeks. Bear, featuring Eastern European influenced dishes with farm-to-table ingredients, is located at 12-14 31st Avenue.
Skinny's Cantina, 47-05 Center Boulevard, is now serving Mexican dishes and cocktails and Alobar, which boasts craft beers and modern comfort food with an emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients, is located at 46-42 Vernon Boulevard.
LIC-based Quadlogic Controls Corp is the winner of the Wall Street Journal "Small Business, Big Innovation" award for its new product that attacks the environmentally unfriendly, costly and growing problem of electricity theft in various international markets.
Developments are still underway at Hunters Point South. The City of New York continues work on the Hunter's Point South project, a waterfront development on a 30?acre parcel of land in LIC that is bounded by 50th Avenue, 2nd Street, Newtown Creek and the East River. As part of the project, the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) continues infrastructure installation (sanitary and storm sewers, water mains, roadways, curbs, and sidewalks). Construction of a 10?acre waterfront park will start this month. It will include a playground, dog run, and large "green" that will serve as a place for active recreation as well as passive uses.
Work Initiated/Completed During October
• Continuation of dewatering to allow for ongoing subsurface construction
• Backfilling of former 2nd Street water tunnel, south of 50th Avenue
• Continuation of installation of sanitary sewer system:
• 2nd Street, 50th Avenue to south of Borden Avenue
• Installation of storm sewer system
• 2nd Street, Borden Avenue south toward 54th Avenue
• Construction of chambers for 48" and 42" Combined Sewer Outfall (CSO) system at East River and upland chambers
• Continuation of relocation of existing/installation of new Con Edison utility structures (primarily west side of 2nd Street and north side of Borden Avenue, east of 2nd Street).

Influenza remains widespread in Minnesota, with a spike in hospitalizations reported during the week that ended Dec. 29, state health officials said.
New preliminary statistics released by the Minnesota Department of Health on Thursday show there were 226 people hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza. An additional two deaths were reported, bringing total deaths for the season to four.
"It certainly is a very vigorous influenza year," state epidemiologist Dr. Ruth Lynfield said. "When we look at the breakdown of the people who are hospitalized, though, it does appear to be what we do see during an influenza season. In other words, the largest number of folks who are being hospitalized who have severe influenza are 65 or older."
However, healthy people can also develop serious conditions in some cases, she said. "There also is the possibility for a bacterial infection to occur, either at the same time influenza is happening or shortly thereafter," Lynfield said.
Officials say it isn't too late to get the flu vaccine.
The numbers of hospitalizations and outbreaks reported in the past week could go up as health officials continue analyzing the data, Lynfield said. A total of 578 hospitalizations have been reported for the season.
Hospitals in the Twin Cities area have reported high demand for services because of flu cases, and many hospitals are at or near capacity.

The locale: an afternoon ballroom banquet
The dress: knee-length cocktail dress with cap sleeves, V-neck and crisscross detail. Carmen Marc Valvo, $595, edressme.com.
Why it works: "Chic and modern, this textured cocktail dress in bright royal blue makes a statement of confidence," says Joanne. "The slight off-the-shoulder style dresses up the look, while the mock wrap flatters your shape. Small cap sleeves cover the parts of the arms that mothers sometimes want to hide. The shimmering fabric has a texture and shine that gives this dress enough glitter to make it party-appropriate."

Our periodic tracking of business trends today eyes what consumers are doing.
PLUS: Folks were spending with zest in the last two months of last year, a.k.a. "The Holiday Shopping Season."
I peeked into the national retail sales figures and found a noteworthy uptick. In 2012's final months, broad-based shopping by this definition rose 0.9 percent. While I'm no fan of short-term numbers, this increase was better than 2011's 0.1 percent uptick in the same period as well as besting the average year-end gain in the past 21 years: 0.6 percent.
For the year, retail sales increased 5 percent. It's a smaller advance that we saw in 2010 and 2011, but now we've seen three consecutive gains above 5 percent for the first time since 2004-2006.
To my eye, it's remarkable that shoppers did keep shopping last year – and at a decent pace — considering the angry tone of the presidential race, notably on economic issues.
MINUS: The National Retail Federation's own analysis of retail sales for December raises some interest questions about the future of shopping:
•Sales at electronics and appliance stores decreased 0.4 percent year-over-year. But everybody got a new gizmo for the holidays. Did these merchants discount too much?
•Buying at sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores – good places for gift getting – saw sales rise 4.7 percent year-over-year.
•Furniture and home furnishing sales increased 3 percent in a year. Good sign for housing-related spending?
•"General merchandise" stores saw sales drop 3.4 percent. How many big boxes retailers do we need?
•As traditional department stores suffer, "nonstore retailers" – i.e., the Internet — enjoyed a 9.6 percent sales boost.
EQUALS: If retailing is troubled, don't tell shopping center broker Hanley Investments from Irvine.
The firm helped sell $300 million in retail sites last year — up 33 percent in a year and the busiest year since the boom of the middle of the past decade.
But Edward Hanley, president of Hanley, notes that the run on retail properties — it wasn't just his firm – is not a full endorsement of all retailing's viability.
For one, "The threats to bricks and mortar is there, and it is growing" he says on online shopping.
Plus, many 2012 investors were more looking for alternatives to near-zero yields on low risk investments — and thus, they bought high-quality shopping centers with top-shelf tenants.
The desirable neighborhood shopping center probably doesn't get much of a holiday pop. That's because a solid store lineup is largely "necessity-based" — filled with grocers, fast food and boutique restaurants plus personal and medical services.
These are the retailers who may survive the growing popularity of online shopping.

so on dgcr several of us went in on a lil "group buy" for some rit . we did it that way because rit only sells these colors by the pound for 18 bucks. so needless to say the "neon yellow" rit works great and is just like chartreuse/dayglow. i havent tried the neon pink or neon green but i will shortly. anywho,heres my findings
this stuff works really well on white discs. heres a pic of a white star sos i dyed chartreuse. its maybe a tad lighter but still bright. i think i may of diluted my mix more than usual but either way.
left is a factory chartreuse spd and right is my dyed sos
i have some champ glo stuff still sitting and ill post later but as of now. it works great on white star plastic!

USC confirmed the firing of Kennedy Polamalu as offensive coordinator and running backs coach in a statement released Sunday.
Coach Lane Kiffin said, "As we continue to evaluate all facets of our program, including the organization of our staff, we made the decision to go in a different direction at this coaching position. Kennedy Polamalu is a good coach, a good person and a good Trojan. We wish him and his family the best."
Polamalu, 49, a graduate of Mater Dei High, had recently completed his third season as part of a second stint as a USC assistant coach. While Polamalu held the title of offensive coordinator, he did not call plays.
It remains unknown whether Kiffin will continue to call plays or whether he will hand off those duties. USC now has openings for three assistant coaches, following the firing of Polamalu and secondary coach Marvin Sanders and the departure of linebackers coach Scottie Hazelton, who became defensive coordinator at Nevada.
Polamalu, a USC fullback and linebacker in the mid-80s, was considered an accomplished recruiter and popular coach. Reports of his firing surfaced Friday, only two days after USC's 2013 recruits sent in their signed letters of intent. Several current USC players took to Twitter to express their disappointment and frustration about Polamalu's departure.

Detailed Description:
Urea cycle disorders are rare inherited diseases that generally have a poor outcome, especially with onset of the disease in the neonatal period. UCDs are caused by a deficiency of one of six enzymes responsible for removing ammonia from the bloodstream. Instead of being converted into urea which is removed from the body with the urine, ammonia accumulates in UCD patients leading to brain damage or death. In the light of a mortality rate of > 50% at the age of 10 years the current pharmacological and dietary therapy is of modest success. Furthermore, mental retardation, cerebral palsy and other neurological sequelae are common among surviving patients.
In the last years, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has become the best therapeutic option for UCD with long-term survival rates of about 90%. However, in the first weeks of life OLT still is technically demanding and prone to complications. With larger size of the recipient, the technical problems with OLT decrease considerably. The increased body weight usually achieved at the age of more than 8 weeks is related to a major reduction in transplantation related morbidity. Stabilization of metabolism until the patient can undergo OLT is essential.
In this study, young children with UCD will be treated by repetitive application of human liver cells. In the last consequence, the aim of this new therapy option is to supply a sufficient amount of healthy liver cells to compensate for the metabolic defect and to reduce the risk of neurological deterioration while awaiting OLT.

King Richard Remains
Historical appraisals may change with the times, but the laws of the political jungle do not.
According to Shakespeare, Richard III died a "bloody wretch" at Bosworth Field, crippled, offering his kingdom for a horse. After Richard is dispatched in a climactic duel with the Earl of Richmond, the future King Henry VII declares, "The day is ours, the bloody dog is dead."
Now comes the news that bones dug up from a parking lot in the Midlands are the 528-year-old remains of the ill-remembered Plantagenet. The findings, announced this week by researchers at the University of Leicester and confirmed...

In the deckhouse is a fully equipped galley, complete with a three-burner cooktop, full-size twin-basin stainless steel sink, microwave/convection oven, and ultra-efficient, 14.5-cubic foot, five-compartment refrigerator/freezer/ice maker that consumes an average of just 33 watts. In the forward portion of the 170-square-foot deckhouse is the saloon, which contains an L-shape settee that converts to a full-size double berth and a folding hi-lo table suitable for enjoying either cocktails or dining. Opposite the settee is a loveseat that cleverly conceals a 26-inch LCD TV in its flip-up seat base.
Sleeping accommodations are on the lower deck; identical staterooms in the port and starboard demi-hulls mean cruising couples won't have to flip a coin to decide who gets the better berth. Their queen-size berths flank a centerline bulkhead beneath the pilothouse deck. Forward in each demi-hull is a dressing area as well as a full head with a separate shower enclosure. Steps lead from the dressing area up to the saloon on either side of the room.
As with the Island Pilot 395, all boats are to be sold fully equipped, including navigation electronics, GPS/plotter, radar, autopilot, Bose entertainment system, and satellite TV antenna. Even a tender and four-stroke outboard are included. And as a special preconstruction incentive, the company plans to offer its first customers a free Smart car. That way they can benefit from tomorrow's technology on the water and while getting to and from the dock. The first units are scheduled to be available in the fall of 2007.

Questions to Ask Before Starting a Fitness ProgramSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Moderate exercise is safe for most people, but it's always a good idea to talk to a doctor before starting an exercise program. If you answer "yes" to any of the following questions, it is especially important to talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program. He or she may recommend a supervised or restricted program to meet your specific needs.
- Do you have heart trouble?
- Do you have pains in your heart or chest?
- Do you have high blood pressure?
- Do you ever feel faint or have dizzy spells?
- Do you have arthritis or other bone or joint problems that could limit your physical activities?
- Do you have diabetes? (Increased exercise affects your insulin needs.)
- Do you have risk factors for heart attack and stroke? These include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking.
- Are you age 65 or older and not used to exercise?

If you're a Miami Heat fan who wants to make the Super Bowl a little more "interesting," gambling houses are ready to take your money.
Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest betting days of the year and to interest casual fans, sportsbooks typically create bizarre prop bets that crossover into other sports.
Prop bets, or proposition bets, are bets made that hinge on the occurrence during a game of an event not directly affecting the game's outcome.
That's where the Miami Heat come in.
Just a few hours before kickoff in New Orleans, the Heat will face the Raptors in Toronto and you can gamble on the performances of several Miami players vs. events in the Super Bowl.
For instance, Sportsbook.com will allow you to bet on who will score more points; LeBron vs. Toronto or the 49ers vs. the Ravens. On Friday, LeBron was a 1.5 point favorite over San Francisco.
If you're a fan of Dwyane Wade you can place money on whether he'll score more points than pass completions by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick; a line that currently favors Wade by 4 points.
Chris Bosh is part of one of the stranger prop bets as the website asks whether the Heat forward will score more points than the amount of the largest lead by either the Ravens or 49ers in the Super Bowl.
The Heat prop bets are just a few of the many strange odds that are now listed, including those listed on soccer teams, hockey players and the entire Big East conference.

Feb. 10, 2009
News Highlights
More Information
A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on Saturday, Feb. 14, at 10 a.m., for a new sidewalk to be built on Quander Road between Beacon Hill Road and Stokes Lane in Alexandria.
The sidewalk will make it easier for students to walk to and from West Potomac High School. They currently walk along Quander Road next to passing traffic.
"This sidewalk will go a long way towards protecting our students who now compete with school buses for space on their way home from school," said Mount Vernon District Supervisor Gerald W. Hyland.

UPLAND -- Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency was a a part of the city's business community for more than three decades, but the firm is now being sued for fraud and has been purchased in part by another insurance company.
The West Covina-based Universal Bank, which has sued the Upland company after helping to finance its insurance sales, has accused Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency's leaders of requesting more than $6 million worth of bogus loans.
The bank's lawsuit goes as far as to allege Derek Brewart, son of agency founder Hamilton Brewart, confessed to fraud during a series of meetings that took place at different Starbucks coffee houses in the San Gabriel Valley.
Derek Brewart's legal defense team, however, has filed a response denying all of Universal Bank's allegations. The defense's side of the story is that the younger Brewart inherited a catastrophic situation after the recent death of his father and spent the past several months trying to save the company.
"Derek was doing everything he could to keep this thing going," defense team spokesman Steve Lambert. "He self-reported to the insurance commissioner. He went to the bank."
The state Department of Insurance declined to comment on whether there was any investigation of the insurance agency.
Universal Bank's legal team acknowledges in its lawsuit that meetings with Derek Brewart took place following two events that took place in early May: Hamilton Brewart death and Universal Bank's initiation of a routine audit.
Since then, a Los Angeles County judge has placed Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency in receivership, Universal Bank and another firm have filed lawsuits against the company and a Los Angeles firm has purchased part the Upland company's business portfolio while hiring six of its sales agents.
Whether Universal Bank's allegations prove true or false, there has been a sudden change in fortunes for a company that has been part of Upland business community since 1976 and recently considered one the United States' best insurance companies.
Insurance Journal ranked the agency as the nation's 95th best privately held property and casualty insurance company in its 2010 rankings.
Hamilton Brewart employees earned their ranking by selling policies worth $90 million in 2009.
The late Hamilton Brewart had also enjoyed a positive reputation in Upland, said Mayor Ray Musser, himself an insurance professional. Brewart donated $1,000 to help the Upland Fire Department purchase Jaws of Life tools and Musser also said he admired the elder Brewart devotion to his Catholic faith and family.
"I had always respected anybody that kept those two on a high priority," Musser said.
Universal Bank's filings, however, allege there was a darker side to the agency.
The bank's complaint reports that Derek Brewart met with Armando Carlos, Universal Bank's first vice president for its asset and investigations department, and admitted the insurance agency committed fraud against the bank.
The younger Brewart blamed his father for the alleged fraud, according to Universal Bank's complaint.
"Derek said he learned about the fraud while his father was alive and tried to convince him to stop, but Hamilton refused to do so. When Mr. Carlos asked Derek which premium loans were fraudulent, Derek responded `all of them."'
That meeting took place about May 23 at a Starbucks in Alhambra. A second meeting took place about a week later at another Starbucks in Walnut. Universal Bank alleges that during this encounter, Derek Brewart "apologized for the fraud and admitted that he had been complacent in the fraudulent scheme."
A third meeting took place in June. The court filing states Derek Brewart apologized a third time and repeated a promise made at the second meeting to sell Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency and use the proceeds to reimburse Universal Bank.
Carlos, the Universal Bank executive who met with the younger Brewart, declined to make any statements beyond what the bank and its attorneys have made in legal filings.
"The complaint speaks for itself, and there is ongoing litigation and we're not in a position to comment," Carlos said.
Derek Brewart has sought legal counsel and has been advised not to speak publicly on the allegations.
"Because Mr. Brewart is actively cooperating with the receiver and the Department of Insurance to protect the best interest of the insurance customers, he is unable to comment at this time," Lambert said.
In a Monday filing, the defense team denied Universal Bank's allegations in full. The response does not outline a counter-narrative to the bank's version of the story.
Attorney David Meyer of the Los Angeles-based firm of Arent Fox, said he could not speak to Universal Bank's specific allegations but did say the younger Brewart has attempted to save the insurance company.
"He tried to restructure the company and get the company out of financial difficulty," Meyer said.
Universal Bank claims the Brewarts took advantage of the nature of the Upland company's business relationship with the West Covina bank to commit the alleged fraud.
Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency did business as a brokerage, selling policies for other carriers. The Upland company also obtained loans, called premium financing in the insurance industry, to help their customers buy new policies.
Those customers would make good on the loans by making premium payments that could be spread over time. The bank alleges the Brewarts took advantage of the process by requesting loans for customers who obtained financing from another source or did not need loans.
The Brewarts allegedly obtained more than 80 fraudulent loans worth more than $6 million.
Universal Bank filed its lawsuit in Pomona Superior Court on Sept. 27. A judge appointed a receiver to take control of Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency on Oct. 17.
Los Angeles-based Grosslight Insurance is the company that acquired a significant share of Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency's business portfolio. Grosslight Insurance founder Gil Grosslight pledged in a telephone interview that he could protect the Upland firm's customers.
"If the customer is my customer, I can guarantee that they're not going to get hurt," Grosslight said.
Universal Bank is not the only company thus far to sue Hamilton Brewart Insurance Agency.
The Upland firm's own insurance provider, Endurance American Specialty Insurance Co., has filed a U.S. District Court case in California's Central District.
Endurance American's case seeks a judge's confirmation of its decision to cancel its professional liability coverage of the agency. Endurance American's filing relies on Universal Bank's allegations as evidence the Upland company failed to provide required information.
Endurance American declined to provide comment.
El Monte-based Nijjar Realty Inc, doing business as Pama Management Co., was a client of Hamilton Brewart and is awaiting the outcome of the lawsuit.
"Once it gets into the court system in a couple months nothing gets resolved," said Evert Miller, chief financial officer for Nijjar Realty Inc.
The firm was not directly affected by Brewart Insurance Agency's alleged fraud, but they are in the process hiring a new broker agency.
"We were a client of Hamilton Brewart like many and so everybody got affected by it in different ways," he said.

I think who you hate shows your age a bit I hate the Celtics & Knicks the most, I am 40 so my hate is more for the Knicks than the Celts but I remember those *******s coming to town and getting more love than the Pacers so the hate is there. Its part of the reason I dont like having Larry Bird as the boss of the Pacers. Third team I guess would have to be the Lakers but I dont hate them any where near as much as I hate the Knicks.
1) New England Patriots - They're cocky, they're sore losers, and they cheat. Always a winning combination.
2) Los Angeles Lakers - The #1 choice of ignorant bandwagon fans everywhere.
3) New York Knicks - If you have to ask why, you're a n00b.
1. Bulls
2. Knicks
3. Lakers
(honorable mention to the Heat)
2 and 3 are pretty interchangeable, the thing that puts the Bulls over the top is their fanbase.

Arch-rivals Microsoft and Google are both offering ways to track Santa Claus today, but the mapping services have St. Nick in totally different areas at the same time. Right now the Microsoft-sponsored NORAD's Santa Tracker web site has Santa in Greece. The Google-sponsored Santa Dashboard, meanwhile, has him over Saudi Arabia! It looks like the two sites are having some issues with real-time reporting where Rudolph and his reindeer friends are pulling the sleigh. Maybe one of the sites has a delay or something! Just be sure to pick one and use it to track Santa!
Google sponsored NORAD's Santa tracker from 2007 to 2011, but Microsoft took over the project this year, providing mapping technology and servers to help power the site. Google responded by creating Santa's Dashboard for this Christmas season, but Sullivan said the precision offered by NORAD's satellites likely is superior, offering it the ability to lock onto the position of the sleigh within a matter of inches. "They've been doing it for almost 60 years," Sullivan said. "If you want to go for the most accurate location, you probably want to go with NORAD." He said Google likely relies on alternative technology, such as tracking Santa's in-sleigh WiFi signal, causing a possible lag in showing his exact location. Sullivan also guessed that Google was using an algorithm to estimate the numbers of gifts delivered, while NORAD might have the ability to identify individual gifts, and perhaps even smaller items such as stocking stuffers.

text: Mountaineers preaching attitude, confidence, effort By Dave Hickman November 8, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Geno Smith is really pretty much like everyone else when it comes to trying to figure out what has happened to West Virginia's offense.It's a mystery of sorts to him, too.Oh, sure, he can look at the way defenses have changed their plan of attack, but that's really not supposed to be a deal-breaker, right? Dana Holgorsen has been running this offense long enough that he's seen defenses try just about everything. The answer is to take what the other side gives you, and they always give you something.Smith's been given video cut-ups by quarterbacks coach Jakes Spavital showing the things he did in the first five games of the season and then in the last three. He insists that when he watches them there is no light-bulb-on moment.Instead, the West Virginia quarterback goes back to what he and Holgorsen and pretty much everyone else inside the Puskar Center have been preaching all along.Attitude. And confidence. And effort."We just have to go out with the mentality that we're going to score,'' Smith said. "We've got to be confident, we've got to play fast and we've got to play hard. "Things haven't changed for us. I think we still have a really good offense. I just think we've been in a funk the past few weeks.''If West Virginia is going to right its ship in time to salvage this season, that had better happen fast. Riding a three-game losing streak, the Mountaineers (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) face some of their most difficult challenges the next three weeks. Saturday they go to Stillwater for a 3:30 p.m. game with Oklahoma State (5-3, 3-2). After that is a home game with No. 14 Oklahoma, followed by a road game at defensive-minded Iowa State.After scoring just three offensive touchdowns in back-to-back losses to Texas Tech and Kansas State, the Mountaineers fared better against TCU, but still lost 39-38 in overtime last week."For the most part we sustained drives and put together some drives,'' Smith said. "But not in key situations, which is something we have to work on. But overall we did a pretty good job of just keeping the ball in play and moving forward. "We didn't have many negative plays. We had some costly penalties here and there and we had a costly turnover that was all on me - bad read, bad throw, probably one of the worst of my career. It was just terrible. But overall we did some good things.''It's been nothing like the good things the Mountaineers did in those first five games, however, when they were scoring almost at will on opponents, even those with competent defenses like Maryland, which is No. 11 in the country in total defense.Holgorsen, while acknowledging that he and his staff must do a better job of preparation, also points to effort."We're playing with nine or 10 a lot,'' Holgorsen said. "If you have eight or nine that are playing with tremendous effort and one or two who aren't, then you're playing with eight or nine. We have to play better together.'' Some of it is merely execution, and the problems rest almost everywhere, including Smith. After throwing an NCAA record 273 passes without an interception to start the season (326 straight dating back to last season), he's now thrown three picks in his last 73 attempts and has been saved from several others by good fortune.His receivers also share blame. Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said there were seven dropped passes against TCU, four of them on third-down throws."But those are just like any other bad play - an interception, a fumble, a missed block, whatever. It's part of the game,'' Smith said. "You just have to move on. You can't dwell on it.''As for the cut-ups given to him by Spavital, Smith no doubt saw some cringe-worthy plays, but his overall game hasn't changed, he said."It's just circumstances. Things don't always work out as well as you want them to,'' Smith said. "We were rolling the first five games and then we kind of hit an obstacle. It's just about staying the course, believing in yourself, believing in your teammates and coaches and just continuing to work toward the plan."It's getting better. We're making progress. We're working guys in and out of the rotation as far as receivers and backs and even some offensive linemen. We're going to have fresh bodies and be ready to play. You can't force the issue and try to make big plays. You take what the defense gives you, you move the chains and see what happens. Those are the little things that made us a good offense.''

Red Hot Chili Peppers' Josh Klinghoffer Questions Rock Hall Induction Process
Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer would be considered "the new guy" in the band, but he still got to experience a milestone with the group earlier this year when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For the guitarist though, he's not sure what it all means at this point.
Klinghoffer told Hitfix of the Rock Hall, "It's a weird thing to have a Hall of Fame for rock. It's weird that I spent years worshipping the Cure, and here's the Chili Peppers, and then one gets in and one doesn't. It's ridiculous. In my heart of hearts, it means nothing to me, but I do understand it means a lot to other people. It creates positivity."
Having spent only the last couple of years with the band, the guitarist admits, "I felt like a wanker on the stage because I just waltz in … partly on the strength of songs that [John Frusciante] helped write. Being the youngest person inducted is obviously going to have a lot of weirdness about it. But I mean to say that there's no point in being negative about it."
Even though he's the young guy in the band, Klinghoffer has a solid pre-Chili Peppers resume, working with such acts as Beck, PJ Harvey, and Gnarls Barkley before jumping into John Frusciante's footsteps.

Here at Sitepoint we like to recognize members we feel are a great contribution to the Sitepoint Community. It is my pleasure to announce the member of the month for February of 2013 is Lemon Juice!
With the coveted award, we offer the recipient to take part of an informal interview, so let the curtain revealing begin to the insights of what makes Lemon Juice, well, Lemon Juice
Let me start off with the million dollar question, were you surprised and how do you feel?
Maybe a bit surprised but not too much as there were some users who said they would like to somehow promote a few of us who answered their questions. It's definitely nice to feel that some people appreciate your presence here, at least this is a reminder that it's worth participating here.
What made you choose Lemon Juice as your username? Any kind of story behind it?
The story is simple - I once read about a lot of health benefits of drinking lemon juice and there was a program to detox your body by drinking lemon juice every day. I don't remember the details now but it lasted a few weeks and gradually you had to increase the amount of juice until you reached 20 lemons in a day. Of course, the juice had to be pure without any additives. It was a challenge but I enjoyed it - what I enjoyed most was the reaction of my friends as they listened to how much lemon juice I was drinking :). The good thing was that with time the sour taste stopped being so problematic. Then I just figured out that many people have usernames that make no sense so I may as well be Lemon Juice :).
We have taken notice of your contributions in both the PHP and Databases & MySQL forums, do those specific topics correlate to your skillset and expertise?
Certainly, that's what I'm involved with on a daily basis and that's what interests me most in the web development area. But I wouldn't call myself an expert because I think there are some more advanced skills I haven't mastered yet like test driven development or some programming paradigms. I'm a completely self-taught guy, I haven't even read a single book on programming and haven't done any courses. Most of the information needed to do web development is available for free on the web and whenever I need to solve a specific problem I search the web and often sites like SP forums prove to be a valuable source of information. This also needs caution because in this way it's easy to make mistakes we are not aware of but with time and practice we get to discover that, too.
In line with the previous question, do you have other skills or expertise in other fields that might not get as much coverage here (or are non-existant) on the Sitepoint forums?
Yes, I've always had many various interests, sometimes I think too many :). I've been interested in photography, electronics, I used to practice orienteering, I took courses in meditation. Currently, I am interested in internal martial arts, practice tai-chi and qigong, which I think is a blessing for someone whose job is about sitting in front of a computer screen :).
If you could change anything on the forums, what would it be and why?
Hard to say, I already think this forum is one of the best in terms of topics, moderation quality and user-friendliness. I just have a feeling that recently there are not as many active users as a few years ago, it would be great to somehow drive more people here. But it may be hard now since sites like stackoverflow are a strong competition. The quality of the forums mostly depends on the quality of the members - for example, it was nice to have an advanced PHP Application subforum where people with a lot of programming experience were discussing more advanced stuff. Now it seems there are more novice users who just want to get quick fixes without putting much effort in learning. I don't have anything against novices but I think it's all about balance - a forum needs novices but also an elite that you can look up to. I know this is one of the hardest aspects to get right if you are forum admin. Still, SP has many valuable "elite" members and I hope it will stay like this and even improve.
I must say, you are a hard person to look up. I searched numerous pages for "username Lemon Juice", "forums username Lemon Juice", and so on just trying to get a glimpse of your personality, interests, likes, and so forth. From my searches, I can only ascertain that 1) you love being mixed in a bowl, 2) you love to bring flavor to the party, and 3) you go well with a few mixed drinks. Have I nailed it? Are there other activities that take up your time when you are not active at the forum or hard at work/school?
Yep, basically you nailed it, I am a bit of mixed bowl in terms of my activities and interests :). I am also a member on forums.dpreview.com as lemon_juice and on www.smarty.net/forums/ but my activity is low there. Generally, I've found that too much activity on forums is too time consuming to be worth it - and I think this especially holds true of people like me who spend most of their time at the computer because of their job and when I finish my job I don't really have much desire to spend the rest of my day in a virtual reality of the internet :). So I am most active at SP forums :). I am also a kind of traditionalist in spite of dealing with such modern subjects as web development - I feel that the world of internet, mobile phones, tablets and other gadgets is trying to get too deep into our lives and we tend to lose contact with reality. That's the reason why I don't have a laptop nor a tablet nor a facebook account and my mobile phone is a simple and small SonyEricsson device that I use primarily for calling and texting people. When I finish my work or go away for a weekend or on holiday I just want to have a rest from the internet and computer world I'm involved with almost every day.
Okay, enough of some of the seriousness, now for some fun...How many Lemons does it take to change a Light bulb?
This question is too intimate so please forgive me if I leave it unanswered.
When someone squeezes a lemon... do you call him murderer and want to take revenge?
No, there are certain things that are meant to be squeezed, men should have no problem with this understanding
What kind of Lemon Juice are you? Concentrated or freshly squeezed?
Always freshly squeezed with no additives. Have you ever tried drinking pure fresh juice squeezed out of 20 lemons at a time? I can tell you it's a remarkable experience and a great way of detoxifying your body :).
If life hands you a lemon, what do you do with it?
If I don't get the lemon on my own I have a tendency to forget it. The best effect can be achieved if you are living in a place with pretty high temperatures, I mean around 30 deg. C. When you leave a lemon in such a place for a few weeks it will not go rotten and start stinking, instead it will change into an interesting green-greyish dried-out object that can be used as a curious decoration - whenever someone comes to your place you show them the lemon and ask what it is and see how they struggle to come up with answers! :). You can also try it with a banana - it will turn into a black, dry, hard, moon-shaped object that looks pretty nice when hung on the wall!
BTW, why so many questions about lemon juice?
That ends the interview and so without further ado, let me be the first to congratulate Lemon Juice on this coveted achievement.
Congratulations, you deserved it!
Congratulations, Lemon Juice! A well deserved award. I enjoyed the interview, guys (it was anything but a lemon), and I feel very cleansed. (I hear lemon juice is good for your PHP balance or something.)
Congratulation Lemon Juice interesting and fun interview with just a hint of lemon.
Yes, ZESTY interview I enjoyed your questions @[cpradio ; and I found @[URL="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/member.php?u=37617"]Lemon Juice](http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/member.php?u=19749) ; answers interesting!
Your comments about balance and having more activity. This is something that we are aggressively tackling right now. It is a goal in 2013 to generate more channels of access to these forums.
The PHP Advanced Forum used to be like you described, but it had become far less active, we have a number of new members that will eventually become intermediate and advanced. As such the standard PHP forum that these new members now call home will then become their normal form to ask advanced questions. In January I've seen an increase in advanced object oriented questions being posed with members that are switching from procedural to OOP so I think there is positive movement here
Thanks for letting us know more about you!
Great interview and a well deserved award.Congratulations Lemon Juice!
Congratulations @Lemon_Juice; for a well deserved prize and @cpradio; for a great interview
Regarding the amount of questions about lemon juice... blame it on that I found it too easy to do all kind of silly jokes about lemons and their juices :shifty:
Doing silly jokes is my speciality, I'm afraid
When I think "lemon juice" 2 things come to mind.Cooking - eg. buttermilk substitute, fruit antioxidantLed Zeppelin
Congratulations, @Lemon_Juice; well deserved recognition. And thank you @cpradio for a refreshing interview.
Thanks everyone for your replies!
It's nice to hear that. I was having an impression that forums like this begin losing the battle against stackoverflow-like question farms so I'll be happy to be proven wrong. BTW, I had one nasty thought when I learned I'd become memeber of the month, I've decided to confess: "The Sitepoint forums must be doing really poor because it looks like they lack members to nominate so they chose me as the member of the month...". But I know this statement is false!
Yes, I've noticed this positive movement, I was worried the PHP forum would become full of questions how to set up wordpress and the like, but it's going strong recently :).
Oh, so I now I know who's to blame! I was expecting a bit more serious questions but half of them were about lemons! Someone here must have lemons on their mind all the time
BTW, does anyone know what happened to deathshadow - a year ago or so I remember him being very active here and eloquent (to put it mildly ). After I had a break from these forums a few months ago and came back here I was first surprised that he didn't come here to criticise certain programming styles like he usually did...
To be fair, your profile was a bit, how should I phrase it ... empty, bare, non-existent? So we had to come up with something to talk about And I did try and find you on other services for a couple of hours! Seriously, searching on variations of "lemon juice" is HARD!
Congratulations Lemon Juice! :tup: I'm sure this thread will get well squeezed :lol:
Congratulations, Lemon Juice!Well deserved.
I'll add a third: this chap (he's quite popular in the UK at the moment).
Congrats Lemon Juice.
Unfortunately his eloquence got the better of him.
Thanks, you recognize the best fruit when you squeeze it just gently and lots of juice comes out, no force needed, just gently
No problem, I don't mind any juicy questions and topics!
I don't know if this picture will get me in a juicy mood but he looks surreal!
Congrats Lemon Juice...
Congrats Lemon Juice! Well done
Lemon Juice, I won't ask you about Lemon Batteries, since you "passed" on my question upon changing light-bulbs. :lightbulb
I'd agree there is large amount of great knowledge available on forums, which does help with the learning process. Though like you say you still have to be cautious of the advice and generally become familiar with various pitfalls...
Yes, mediating in front of a computer screen makes sense. I think it's true about forums tending to have a different type of drive-by member nowadays that just take rather than contribute - though diversity is the key.
Alas, Congratulations on the February MOTM.

MORGANTOWN — The opening few days or even weeks of a college football preseason camp can be deceptive, especially where freshmen are concerned.
Because they're usually brand new, coaches tend to give them more opportunities if they think they have the potential to play right away. Sometimes it pans out, sometimes it doesn't. But it's better to find out right away and then not waste any more time if the latter is true. And more often than not, it is.
Dravon Henry is getting his chances early in West Virginia's camp, and he might be the exception rather than the rule.
"Some guys are just different as freshmen. A lot of them have talent, but sometimes they won't jump in and ask questions because they're afraid you'll think they don't know anything,'' safeties coach Joe DeForest said. "Dravon's not like that. He's learning everything he can and he's working hard.
"I coached Karl Joseph as a freshman and he was the same way.''
Joseph, of course, started all 13 of West Virginia's games in 2012 as a true freshman, led the team in tackles and was the Mountaineers' defensive player of the year.
It would be a leap to expect the same from Henry, but it would seem he has a chance to be on the field in that same free safety spot when West Virginia opens the season Aug. 30 against Alabama in Atlanta.
"He reminds me a little bit of [cornerback Daryl] Worley as a freshman,'' DeForest said. "He has the same kind of maturity.''
Indeed, if Henry, a four-star recruit from Aliquippa, Pa., winds up a big contributor, he would follow Joseph and Worley in that role. Joseph quickly developed into the team's biggest hitter in the secondary as a freshman, and then Worley emerged as the team's most dependable cover cornerback as last season progressed.
There's just one difference between the three. Joseph and Worley emerged in part because a team that lacked any kind of depth needed bodies. They probably would have played anyway, but they got their initial chance almost by default.
"It's just night and day compared to where it's been in the past,'' coach Dana Holgorsen said. "Not just last year but even the year before and the year before that we had a lot of true freshman in the two deep [out of necessity]. That's not the case now.''
And that's not the case with Henry. No, there's not an established star at free safety, but there is enough talent in the secondary that if there was a need at the position someone could be moved. West Virginia's coaches don't seem to be moving anyone.
When the first-team offense lined up against the first-team defense earlier this week during a rare open portion of practice, there was Henry at free safety. On the second play, Henry stepped in front of a Clint Trickett pass and intercepted it.
"He's proving me more right every day,'' said Worley, who maintained this summer that Henry was one to watch. "He just keeps working and asks questions when he needs to. He keeps going out there and making plays.''
At this point in camp, the free safety battle seems to be between the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Henry and 5-11, 205-pound sophomore Jeremy Tyler. Tyler is no slouch, having earned his first start in last year's finale against Iowa State when Darwin Cook was hurt and the secondary was shuffled. He finished with 10 tackles.
Henry, though, brings something that Tyler might not. He's athletic enough and is good enough in coverage that he could play cornerback.
"It's up to him and Jeremy,'' DeForest said. "But [Henry] brings a lot to the table.''

With the Capitol Correspondents Association's 62nd annual Gridiron Show coming up Friday and Saturday, I've been recalling some past shows and the governors they lampooned:
Gov. Edwin Edwards, after we presented him with a plaque reading, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS," brought down the house when he looked at the plaque and deadpanned in that Cajun accent, "Now if we only had a press corps that knew the difference. ..."
After Gov. Mike Foster took up motorcycle riding, he and wife Alice showed up for the show in their leathers.
Gov. Earl Long was such a colorful character that years after his death, we kept finding excuses to write skits featuring his ghost.
And Gov. Jimmie Davis, instead of delivering the traditional rebuttal at the end of the show, hauled his band up on stage to give us a rendition of "You Are My Sunshine."
The song figured in another memorable moment.
At the end of the show the year Gov. Davis died, Bob Neese, who had been playing Gov. Foster (complete with camo duck-hunting regalia) walked out on stage with his guitar and began softly singing Jimmie's signature song.
The rest of the cast came out, singing along, then the audience rose as one and joined in. There were more than a few tears shed that night.
Jimmie, who knew a thing or two about performing, would have no doubt been pleased.
The other white starch
Kathryn C. Moreau says, "After retiring, my parents, Pete and Verdie Couvillion, enjoyed traveling across the country.
"Once, after they returned from a trip to Washington and California, I asked Dad, 'How was the food?'
"Missing his beloved rice and gravy, he replied, 'Well, there is one thing I've discovered: The farther west you travel from the Mississippi River, the bigger the baked potato gets.'
"I'm pretty sure I know what was on the menu once they returned!"
Communication by cookie
Faye Hoffman Talbot, of Jackson, says, "One night, after my husband and I finished eating Chinese food, we started on our fortune cookies.
"I told him mine said, 'You will be a father in August.'
"He said it couldn't possibly say that.
"Of course it didn't say that — but it was my way of telling him we were expecting our first child."
Second opinion
Janice says, like our reader Keith, "I, too, served as a juror in Judge William Morvant's court.
"Our treatment by the judge and his bailiff was outstanding. I received a very kind letter from Judge Morvant thanking me for my service.
"Thanks to the sheriff's deputies who escorted us to our vehicles each evening.
"Serving on a jury was not only a learning experience, but a pleasant one."
The corporal's home
Army Cpl. Jeffrey Argrave and family will get the keys to a new home at a ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday in Prairieville.
The specially adapted home, at 15257 Murano Ave., was built by Homes for Our Troops, a national nonprofit organization that provides injured veterans with homes at no cost.
Autumn Oster, of Homes for Our Troops, says Argrave was on his first deployment in Afghanistan when he was hit by shrapnel from a grenade and sustained major spinal injuries.
An escort will bring Argrave to his new home Saturday, and supporters are encouraged to line the street to welcome him.

"You might not be able to have your cake and eat it, too," says Jenny Ridge, "but no one ever said anything about pizza!"
She says on Thursday you can have your Reginelli's pizza and support the Mental Health Association for Greater Baton Rouge.
Eat at the Reginelli's pizzeria on West Chimes Street and the MHA will receive 10 percent of all sales that day — if you mention the association.

Aging process
Ernie Gremillion says when he became older than the president, "I perceived myself as being old.
"When I became older than the last three presidents, I changed that to the pope.
"Now I guess I can REALLY consider myself as being old."
Lost and found
Dale Boyett says, "I recently had a doctor's appointment and was being weighed by the nurse.
"I commented that I had lost 15 pounds, and from down the hall came this response by a woman: 'I found it!' "

If the state of the world is flat, hot and crowded, the field of public health is large, diffuse and complex. That's why the University of Colorado Boulder is giving students the ability to earn an interdisciplinary certificate in public health.
The undergraduate certificate will be open to all majors and encourage students to broaden their education to include some far-ranging elements of public health. One goal is to help prepare students in a wide range of fields for the public-health issues that, during their working lives, might land on their desks.
Matthew McQueen, associate professor of integrative physiology and director of the certificate program, emphasizes that point: "Public health is not a field that can be addressed within a single, traditional A&S academic department. It just doesn't work."
McQueen cites some reasons that "public health" is broad: It encompasses political issues such as how health care is delivered, social issues such as how to provide basic health-care to war refugees, and environmental issues such as how change in climate affects human health.
"It really runs the full gamut from the environment all the way down to our cells."
The certificate program, which will require that students take courses in biology and statistics, will include two new "core" courses: "Introduction to Epidemiology," taught by McQueen, and "Introduction to Global Public Health," taught by Elisabeth Root, assistant professor of geography.
In the last four or five years, student interest has grown tremendously.
Ellie Falletta, a senior studying geography and molecular, cellular and developmental biology, said she is proud to see CU-Boulder incorporating public health into its curriculum.
"It has become clear to our generation that the problems that the world faces can no longer be tackled by the traditional fields of study alone," she said.
"By providing more interdisciplinary certificates like public health, students from a variety of backgrounds and majors will be able to apply their knowledge from these fields and contribute to solving the crucial problems of our generation."

BOZEMAN - An atlas involving many Montana State University faculty members has won one of the five top awards given by the Association of American Publishers.
The "Atlas of Yellowstone" received the PROSE Award for Excellence in Physical Sciences and Mathematics during a Feb. 7 awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. The Association of American Publishers has more than 300 members. For this year's competition, 71 publishers nominated 518 books, journals or e-products for awards in 45 categories. The atlas won the Earth Sciences category, then was grouped with other award winners from across the physical sciences and math. The atlas won best book in this broad division.
The 296-page book is the first comprehensive atlas of a U.S. national park. It contains more than 500 maps, photos and charts that cover a wide range of topics. Four themes run throughout the atlas. Three themes emphasize how Yellowstone is constantly changing, the ways that Yellowstone is connected to a broader environment, and the interactions between humans and natural processes. These themes in turn support the fourth theme - the importance of Yellowstone for research, interpretation and education, and inspiring conservation and preservation efforts.
The atlas was produced by the University of Oregon, Yellowstone National Park and their partners.
As one of those partners, MSU was a major sponsor of and contributor to the "Atlas of Yellowstone," said senior editor W. Andrew Marcus from the University of Oregon. Participating faculty came from MSU's Institute on Ecosystems, the Department of Earth Sciences, the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, the Thermal Biology Institute, and the Museum of the Rockies.
"Not only did MSU provide financial support, but its faculty deserve a tremendous amount of the credit for the content," Marcus said. "MSU faculty and affiliates guided the content and provided draft text for topics covering history of Yellowstone science, American Indians, land use, population trends, geology, seismicity, geothermal areas, geomorphology, glaciation, fire regimes, dinosaurs and thermophiles.
"The atlas - at least an atlas of this quality - literally would not exist without the strong presence of MSU within its pages." Marcus said.

Tax reporting requirements for FATCA and CRS
Obtaining a domicile ruling before death
UK HMRC rarely provide rulings until they become relevant for tax purposes. However, a guidance note was issued by HMRC (HMRC Brief 34/2010) which details the circumstances in which an individual's domicile will be considered for IHT.
There has been a change in stance from HMRC, which, in the past stated that if a settlor considered himself non-UK domiciled it was not necessary to submit an IHT account to HMRC. If an account was submitted, HMRC would only open an enquiry if there was tax of at least £10,000 in question.The position now is that only where there is a "significant risk of loss of UK tax" will HMRC consider pursuing an enquiry and providing a ruling on an individual's domicile. The £10,000 minimum has been removed and there is no further guidance on the specific amount that is regarded as "significant"; it will be decided on a case by case basis.
However, completing an IHT 100 form may result in HMRC providing an assessment of a taxpayer's domicile position if they need to assess whether any tax will be payable in respect of a chargeable lifetime transfer.
Therefore, if a taxpayer believes they are non-UK domiciled and would like HMRC to confirm this, then it may be prudent to enclose a letter with the IHT 100 form which details the reasons why they believe they are non-UK domiciled and request HMRC to confirm this.
The letter may include details such as the length of time:

The St. Francis Preparatory School gymnastics team has become a powerhouse.
On Friday, October 25, the team swept all events at the Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) championships to win its third consecutive title. Junior Khayla Martinez and senior Nicole Donini led the team and finished first and second in the individual showcase. Senior Madison Kolnsberg won first place in the individual junior varsity championship, as well.
"I'm extremely proud," head coach Kamla Modi said. "It's a very good feeling, not just to win, but to see their hard work pay off."
The last time the Terriers' won the title, before the current championship streak, was in 1994.
Modi credits their recent success to many players' out of season training in private gyms. This helps the players to improve consistantly throughout the year, rather than just training at St. Francis, during the short gymnastics season.
Top gymnast Martinez has been training in gyms since she was very young. Coincidentally, Modi, herself remembers training in the same gym as Martinez, who was only four-years-old at the time.
"Now I'm coaching her at the high school level," Modi said. "It's great just to see her grow from a little girl, bouncing around the gym to a fanatic gymnast."
Martinez has won the individual championships two years in a row and Modi is confident she'll win the title again next year. Also, with just four of the 17 team members graduating this year, most of the championship team will be back for the 2014 season.
Modi said most of the girls have returned to their gym outside to train for that fourth consecutive crown.
"After year three we have to keep it going," Modi said. "As long as we are the best, we can't fall short."

n Korea during the Silla dynasty circa 660 CE, there was this monk named Wonhyo who decided to travel to China with his pal Uisang so they could further their Buddhist studies.
During their long walk one night, they got caught in a torrential downpour and took shelter in a nearby cave where they would sleep until dawn and continue their journey once the storm was over.
Wonhyo woke up in the middle of the night, completely parched, and after groping around in the dark for something to drink he finally came upon a large mug filled with water. He took a few sips and his thirst was instantly quenched. Grateful and relieved, he was then able to sleep peacefully until morning.
As daylight entered the cave he slowly woke up, thirsty once again. With his eyes still closed, Wyonhyo reached for the mug where he'd left it beside his makeshift bed and began drinking from it once more. As he gulped it down he opened his eyes and discovered that he was drinking from a human skull filled with bloody water. There were even some remnants of human flesh still stuck to the bone and more than a few dead flies floating around.
Repulsed, he threw the skull down and as he looked around he realized that he'd spent the night in a tomb, not a cave. Decaying bodies were all around him, many of them crawling with maggots and covered with dried blood.
Completely grossed out, he was astonished to discover how powerful his mind was. He quickly awakened to the fact that the difference between a refuge or a nightmare was determined solely by his mind.
Having learned more than enough, he scrapped his plans to go to China, left the priesthood and went back home to teach the dharma as a layman.
