Donation To Ohio Gov Candidate Breaks Ethics Policy
Democratic gubernatorial contender Ed FitzGerald says he's returning an improper campaign donation from an investment banker who he nominated to a local economic-development board.
The Northeast Ohio Media Group reported Wednesday the Cuyahoga County executive collected the $1,000 contribution from banker J.W. Sean Dorsey in April, a week before nominating the League Park Advisors CEO to the Cuyahoga County Community Improvement Corp.
The panel reviews economic-development loan requests, not unlike Republican Gov. John Kasich's job-creation board, JobsOhio.
Under the ethics ordinance FitzGerald championed after taking over Cuyahoga County's corruption-ridden government in 2011, county appointees can't contribute to politicians who appoint them.
FitzGerald's campaign said it had flagged and planned to return the donation. An Ohio Republican Party spokesman said it shouldn't take five months to return a check.

ONE of the Labour Party's most senior figures has been embroiled in an embarrassing cock-up - after pronouncing Worcester as "Wichita".
Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna, dubbed as one of Ed Miliband's rising stars, went onto a live BBC local radio interview and appeared to get Worcester mixed up with Wichita, a city in Kansas in the USA.
His error has been leapt upon by Conservative Worcester MP Robin Walker, who said his rival had made an "extraordinary" gaffe.
Mr Umunna was being interviewed on BBC Hereford and Worcester to discuss Labour plans to devolve billions of pounds in economic funding to the regions on Tuesday morning.
Breakfast show host Howard Bentham told him few people know about the funding streams Labour was focussed on.
Mr Umunna said: "I doubt most people on the streets in Hereford and Wichita know what a local enterprise partnership is about but your local branch of the chambers of commerce or federation of small businesses, they will know what that's about."
Mr Umunna's first official visit as shadow business secretary in 2011 was to Worcester Bosch with Mr Miliband.
Mr Walker said: "It's extraordinary for a party that claims to be interested in the city to be getting this kind of thing wrong.
"There is a serious side to this.
"It shows that they continue to be a metropolitan party focussed on the big cities, rather than places like Worcester.
A Labour spokesman yesterday said it was a "mistake" and that it came amid multiple radio interviews.
"This was a mistake in one of many breakfast radio interviews Chuka has done this week promoting Labour's ambitious plans to decentralise power and spur better-balanced growth," he said.
"The fact is that of course Chuka knows how to pronounce the name - he simply made a mistake in a live interview."

Hey thanks for the message. No need at all for you to apologize. I deserved to get ripped apart by everyone and i can take it on the chin. Thanks all the same. I must admit Bob Backlund is very much up there with my all time favorites. I also loved Bret back in the day but hate what he has become now. If there was a gun to my head and i had to pick my all time favorite wrestler and i know this is cliche, but id pic Rick Flair. The work he could do on the mic, his acting and all round wrestling ability in my opinion makes him the best there ever was. I hate however watching all these legends let themselves go or act in a manner not befitting of them in their later years. Out of the modern wrestlers of today, i have big time for The Miz, Danial Bryan, Ziggler and most people wont like it but John Cena also.
Anyway once again thanks for the message was nice to see at least one or two people understood and accepted my apology.

Get the Recipe
Around Easter time, the culinary emphasis for dessert is on candy, not cakes. Here's a recipe designed to end this sweet segregation by uniting candy and cake in one delicious recipe: Cadbury Creme Egg in Hole Toast.
This sweet dish is inspired by the look of "egg in hole toast", a morning delicacy made by griddling a slice of bread with an egg tucked inside. Instead of bread, this Easter version is made with thick slices of pound cake, and Cadbury creme egg halves are used instead of, well, actual eggs. When heated on a griddle with plenty of butter, the fondant-filled eggs get nice and melty in the middle, making for an extra sweet surprise in the middle of your cake slice.
It's a fantastic way to have your cake and eat Easter treats, too.
Inspired by the use of Cadbury Creme Eggs in recipes? Be sure to check out my suite of Easter recipes using the creamy eggs, including Cadbury Creme Eggs Benedict, Deviled Cadbury Creme Eggs, Cadbury Creme Egg Foo Young, and Cadbury Creme Egg Salad Sandwiches.

A Marlowe DVD Review: THE THING (2011; Universal)
Studio: Universal
Disc/Transfer Specifications: Anamorphic Widescreen; Region 1 (U.S.) Release Tested
Tested Audio Track: English Dolby Digital 5.1
Depending on the rumor channel you listened to or read online, the 2011 horror shocker sharing the same name with John Carpenter's special effects-loaded legendary 1980's remake was either a remake of that remake, or a prequel story which was designed to answer many of the questions Carpenter's gore fest presented about characters, the alien organism and where it originated and more. I am delighted to report that this version of The Thing is indeed not a remake of Carpenter's excellent film, but rather a genuine attempt at a prequel story – specifically, concentrating on the events that plagued the Norwegian science team who finds the alien before Kurt Russell and his U.S. science team are taken over by it in Carpenter's version. This was the right avenue to take, I think, as we were always left wondering in the very beginning of Carpenter's film where the Alaskan Husky came from (later discovering he was at the Norwegian camp), why the Norwegians were shooting at him and ultimately how they stumbled upon the alien in the first place. In Carpenter's film – which of course was a remake of The Thing From Another World, itself based on a novella called Who Goes There? – we see the alien craft entering our atmosphere and crashing through the ozone layer and other protective planetary layers, supposedly landing in Antarctica, where it remains frozen for some hundreds of thousands of years. Picking up in the winter of 1982, Carpenter's film goes on to assume someone else (the Norwegian scientists) have discovered the ship and alien life form inside of it, but then the events concentrate on the American outpost team that are overtaken by the organism one by one after it spreads from the infected dog from the Norwegian camp. As a Thing fan, I was always left wondering exactly what went on at that Norwegian outpost before the U.S. team was infected.
And you know something? The filmmakers for this one got it kinda right – from the exact location sets such as the wooden shack and stairs that the block of ice with the alien in it is sitting in (seen in Carpenter's version when Russell and the doctor arrive to haul the thing back) to the end sequence in which the last of the Norwegians are shooting at the dog trying to stop it from getting to the U.S outpost, setting up, perfectly, the beginning of Carpenter's film. I was very impressed at the level of detail and thought that went into trying to make the two films connect and flow, as many prequels and spinoffs simply don't do.
But, alas – as much as there was positive here, there was also negative. First of all, we have a no-name cast playing the Norwegian scientists, which is fine, but in the lead "American" role is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, portraying an American scientist called to the Norwegian camp to view the alien specimen they found in the ice; this just didn't fit to me. Why does there always have to be a chick in these modern horror films or thriller pics? Carpenter's version had a group of men in an isolated location in the barren Antarctic, and the sense of claustrophobia and paranoia amongst them just worked as-is…bringing a rogue female element into the mix for the sake of "appealing to modern audiences" or keeping in the vain of modern remakes and prequels is plain idiotic in my opinion. That lent to the second big problem of 2011's The Thing – the film's plot takes place in the same time period as Carpenter's film, circa 1982, and we are to assume the alien has absorbed the dog at the Norwegian camp, making its way to the American outpost in a frame of a few hours perhaps. But the problem is, this film didn't feel like anything remotely suggesting it was the 1980's. I hate when filmmakers and studios do this. They're so desperate to run a film into production and into theaters, they glaze over obvious points like this regardless of the fact that many will take notice – thus taking such viewers completely out of the experience. For 1982, the clothing is just wrong, the dialogue is wrong and the overall look and feel of the sets is off – you can see a complete attempt to copy Carpenter's style of his film and the sets, such as the pans of the long hallways in the Norwegian camp, and we even have a variation of the spine-tingling heartbeat synth score which accompanied the 1982 version…but in general, I didn't necessarily believe this was 1982 in the prequel.
Of course, we have the prerequisite "hot guy" with scraggly hair and facial growth, looking and dressing like no one from the 1980's, and we have the kinda sexy Winstead in "modern" looking jeans and tops, speaking in a decidingly non-1980's dialect, and the whole thing took me out of the story a few times. That isn't to say the whole thing was terrible – to the contrary, many of the sequences smacked of Carpenter's mood and environment created in his film, and in that way the two films definitely connected.
We also get a glimpse, in this prequel, of the alien craft up close and even of its interior – something not even attempted in Carpenter's version. We always wanted to know what the ship looked like up close and inside, and we get a chance to do so here – there's even a cool sequence involving the pulsating blue neon lights surrounding the craft (seen as its plummeting towards Earth in the title sequence of Carpenter's version) as they turn on and circle the ship. The problem comes when the filmmakers took this "inside the ship" angle too far, making the film begin to feel like Alien or any number of those sci fi spinoffs, and we're suddenly left with this slimy alien organism chasing people aboard its crashed ship…something that felt totally out of place compared to Carpenter's original premise. The concept was that this being hides inside a human host, absorbing him or her until it can copy it bit-for-bit; this idea was what made Carpenter's version so downright unsettling, as the alien would break out of its human shell when feeling threatened, so we never really knew who was human until it was too shockingly late.
Which brings me to the scientific aspect of the prequel – The Thing, in this case, goes into a bit more about the genetic mapping and absorption process of the alien organism as compared to Carpenter's film (which did a respectable job in that regard, not giving too much away and leaving the scientists and men feeling like they didn't know what they were up against exactly). The prequel attempts to tell the story of how a Norwegian science expedition team camped out in Antarctica stumble upon a gigantic alien spaceship buried deep under the ice, as the opening sequence portrays a team of them riding over the surface of the ice with a snow tractor of some kind, tracing the source of a distress signal being sent out by the alien ship. Obviously, this suggests the alien/human absorption began when the Thing "called out" for help and the Norwegians arrived, only to fall through the ice and upon the massive craft. Eventually, the men at the outpost pull the organism out of a block of ice and drag it back to their camp, where it begins to thaw out, and unbeknownst to them, its cells are still active and alive.
When Winstead's character arrives at the camp, things go from strange to terrifying, as the creature ends up escaping from its icy confine (also seen in Carpenter's film, when Russell and Doc Copper find the empty ice block at the Norwegian camp – another good example of how this prequel flowed correctly with a lot of the narrative) and explodes through the roof to the horror of the African-American American helicopter pilot that witnesses it (the African actor that portrayed "Adebesi" in HBO's OZ). From there, we get a smattering of special effects mimicking from Carpenter's film, as the filmmakers here render their own take on the slimy alien as it tears through people and absorbs them, turning them into bizarre, twisted, grotesque creatures. For the most part, the special effects work, if not as shocking, even all these years later, as Rob Bottin's makeup and puppetry work in the 1982 film – some of the basic elements seen in Carpenter's film with regard to the alien's characteristics are seen in nearly all incarnations of the creature in this prequel, including long tentacles that grab and throw people around, horrific sharp jaws jutting out of human body parts and grotesque digestive tract-like shapes and textures designed to completely gross us out. As I said, for the most part, it works – still, it wasn't as effective nor downright shocking and creepy as the body transformation scenes witnessed in Carpenter's The Thing.
A sequence involving a Norwegian team member that was "absorbed" by the alien and eventually "stuck" in its "digestive system" as the creature was burned and couldn't complete replicating him was particularly effective, as we see the guy still in this weird embryotic sac of some kind, in the midst of being imitated by the alien creature – creepy. But it allowed an opportunity to explain more of the science behind the alien's functions and its intentions with humans, as Winstead's character explains to the men that this guy was being replicated by the creature, cell for cell, and bit-for-bit as they look on in absolute shock and horror. Surprisingly, there weren't that many body transformation sequences in the prequel depicting humans turning into the Thing, but I suppose that can be an asset rather than a negative as how much of the gross stuff can we, for lack of a better term, absorb?
There were a couple of copycat sequences paralleled with Carpenter's film which I didn't care for as it suggested to me a lack of originality, such as the "blood serum test" as seen in Carpenter's film, in which the theory is the alien will attack any blood it feels is being "threatened" therefore helping them figure out who is human and who is alien; of course, like in Carpenter's film, the first attempt at this goes wrong, and Winstead is forced to use another method to test the Norwegian camp members. She discovers that this alien organism cannot copy or absorb any non-organic matter – so she finds people's teeth fillings and metal rods from within their bodies around the camp, hinting at the fact that anything non-biological within the human host can't be replicated. Using this, she examines the mouth of each of the men, looking for fillings in their teeth, the premise being if they have fillings present and intact, they couldn't be a Thing. This of course mimics Carpenter's version in which Russell dips the hot needle into each blood sample, hoping to create a reaction with any of the men in his team who were Things.
The end sequence, refreshingly wasn't wildly disappointing – although it ends abruptly before going into the effective connection during the end credits sequence between this prequel and the very beginning of Carpenter's The Thing. The whole Winstead character aspect at the end didn't wrap anything up, as she's seen just sitting watching the camp burn up from behind a snow tractor's wheel as the screen fades out – but as the end credits roll, we see "Hans" and another Norwegian survivor jump into a helicopter and take off after the Alaskan Husky that escapes from the camp, obviously infected with the alien organism, thus accurately setting up the beginning of Carpenter's film. But we still have questions here: What happened to Winstead's character? Was she rescued? Why is there no mention of her when Russell and the U.S. team make it up to their camp? Where is she at that point? The time table suggests the events taking place at the Norwegian camp flow right into the time the U.S team from Carpenter's film are infiltrated by the infected dog – so this isn't months or years later…what happened to Winstead's character then?
Additionally, there are other interesting connections to Carpenter's film here, including the Norwegian radio operator (I believe) who is found frozen in his chair with the razor in his hand, apparently attempting to slash himself with it as his blood is frozen along with him (seen in Carpenter's film when they visit the Norwegian camp) – as well as the shocking transformation of one of the Norwegians as the Thing attempts to copy him, stretching his face into the melted wax-like creature seen frozen in Carpenter's film. These were commendable attempts by the prequel to connect the events of the two films together.
Outside of that, really, the ending was a complete success, tying up the events of this prequel and those that occur at the very beginning of Carpenter's 1982 film. The question though, essentially, about this 2011 prequel of The Thing becomes…was this ultimately necessary? I realize this can be asked about any prequel project, but in this case, I am torn about the merits this brings to the Thing story…on one hand, I applaud the efforts for creating a narrative that describes the alien organism a bit more thoroughly and what exactly went on at that Norwegian camp. On the other, I wonder if, at the end of the day, it was ultimately necessary to budget for this type of project, and if they should have instead stuck to the mystique inspired by Carpenter's 1982 shock fest. The questions unanswered by that film – was MacReady or Childs a Thing at the very end? Who was the first to be absorbed by the organism inside the dog? – kind of gives it a mystery of its own, and there are even fan sites dedicated to the plot twists of The Thing, where all these elements are discussed.
At any rate, this was an entertaining rental, and I was totally expecting a flop, given how quickly this prequel went from theaters to home video – to say nothing of the horrendous reviews it received. If you're a fan of Carpenter's 1982 The Thing, you will definitely appreciate all the connections this prequel story made to a lot of the images and plotlines in that film. The look and feel of the sets were awkward and it didn't seem like 1982 to me, what with the characters' dialogue and clothing, not to mention Winstead's kind of out-of-place role and performance as a lead scientist investigating the alien infestation, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting going into it.
I can definitely recommend a rental spin; as for a purchase, the jury's still out on that one for me at least.
I wasn't able to obtain, unfortunately, a Blu-ray copy of 2011's The Thing to review, as my editor already gave those copies to other reviewers on the staff prior to me being assigned the title on DVD, but for what it was worth, the DVD looked clean enough given the subject material. There was a purposeful softness and haze to the image that coincided with the stark, cold conditions in the Antarctic, and there was no pop to speak of anywhere throughout. Even if your display is set to a "warm" color temperature, the transfer of this film will appear cool, cold, steely and bluish.
The standard English Dolby Digital 5.1 mix was usual fare from Universal, meaning it was effective where it needed to be and included the prerequisite stinger cues and enveloping soundstage. I did note a distinct lack of bass – actually, LFE was virtually non-existent on my system – and there were no real standout moments on the track; when humans suddenly transformed into alien beings , the sequences were accompanied by startling, explosive audio cues and creepy support in the surround channels where you could easily make out the scurrying of alien claws or crab-like legs. However, nothing was really "reference grade" here, even for legacy DVD. Perhaps the lossless track on the Blu-ray version fared better; I am uncertain as of now.
Let's discuss the 2011 prequel of The Thing!
Well Peter, glad i read your review. I find it to be more honest then most. I bought this as a blind buy ,and haven't watched it yet. When i do i'll let you know. But based on your review, i think i'll like this film. Thanks Bud Tom
Thanks for the feedback, and glad you enjoyed the review! I'm happy it was helpful; indeed, if you're a fan of the 1982 remake by Carpenter, you should at the very least appreciate this one. Are you a fan of the '82 film?

Father of Kuna school bus victim: 'It's the loss of our little guy'
NAMPA, Idaho (KBOI) -- Fighting back tears, Rob Cook describes the family's grief since his 11-year-old son Daniel was killed in Thursday's Kuna school bus crash in Canyon County.
"We're tore up, absolutely tore up," he said. "I mean, it's the loss of our little guy."
Cook says his wife had just put Daniel on the bus, and within 10 minutes a neighbor called about the crash.
"And it happened, I'm looking at the corner right here from the window," Cook said. "We walked out on the deck, lights everywhere. We got down there...after there a few minutes, we verified it was Daniel's bus, and we looked at the damage and my wife said he sits in the back, and everything went downhill from there."
Just a few hundred yards from the Cook family home near Deer Flat and Happy Valley Roads, a memorial is set up at the crash site, with stuffed animals and notes to the family.
One note says: "My friend Daniel, so sorry this had to happen to you, I hope to see you in heaven one day."
People who never knew the Cooks are leaving expressions of their sorrow and Rob Cook is grateful for the Treasure Valley's support.
"Our hearts and prayers are with not only the students who were injured, but the all children on the bus," he said. "What a horrible thing for a child to see. We're also keeping in our thoughts the bus driver, as well as the truck driver. And the first responders (and state police) were awesome."
Through a father's grief, a graciousness shines.

John Goodlin to Direct ARMS AND THE MAN at The Sawyer Center Theater, 6/5-14
For its tenth season, the Northern New England Repertory Theatre Company (NNE Rep) will present George Bernard Shaw's romantic comedy Arms and the Man*. The Shaw classic will run for seven performances, June 5 through June 14, in the Sawyer Center Theater at Colby-Sawyer College in New London.
John Goodlin, who played Judge Brack in last season's production of Hedda Gabler, and Chris in NNE Rep's 2012 production of Anna Christie, returns to the role of Director for the 2014 season. Ten years ago, Goodlin launched the New London-based classical theatre company with a production of Twelfth Night. Since the inaugural season, he has directed A Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, The Comedy of Errors and Othello for the company.
"Imagination is the beginning of creation. We imagine what we desire, we will what we imagine, and at last we create what we will," wrote George Bernard Shaw. Goodlin had the imagination, desire, and will to bring a classical theatre company to life in the New London area. When asked to share his motivation for doing so, he replies, "I ask the question: Why support classical theatre? As an actor and director, my foremost purpose is to share a story. There are wonderful and inspiring stories that have been created by the masterful playwrights of classic drama. The same holds true of film, the opera, and the ballet. Wonderful stories are embodied in great symphonies, a piece of sculpture, a painting, a ceramic vase, a wood carving, and, indeed, in all of the Fine Arts. Of course, great stories abound in all of classic literature and are shared with storytelling aplomb by professors of the Humanities everywhere. Just as these stories deserve their hearing in our theatres, our galleries, and classrooms, the stories of the classic theatre surely deserve their hearing on the stages of our community and region as we learn more about our capacities and worth as human beings."
Evening performances of Arms and the Man begin at 7:30 PM on June 5, 6, 7, & 12, 13, 14, with a matinee on June 8 starting at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $28, with student and group rates available. For tickets, call NNE Rep's Box office at (603) 526-4112: Toll-free: 1- 844-323-9455; in person: Tatewell Gallery (Mon-Sat, 10-5), New London Shopping Center; online: www.NNERTC.org , and at the Sawyer Center Theater for 2 hours before curtain.

BREAKING NEWS: NFL Network's Mike Mayock Joins NBC For Notre Dame Football
This from NBC Sports, after speculation that Joe Theisman or another Notre Dame alum would replace Pat Haden on Notre Dame football games, we get the surprise announcement that NFL Network draft guru Mike Mayock will be the analyst joining Tom Hammond.
Mayock will remain at NFL Network as Notre Dame football is just 8 games and not a full 12 game schedule. This is not foreign territory for Mayock. He's been a college football analyst for CBS on Big East and SEC games, ESPN/ABC for the Big East, ACC and Big 12, and Fox Sports Net for Big 12 games before joining the NFL Network to become its draft expert.
Here's the announcement from NBC Sports.
NBC Sports 20th Season of Notre Dame Football Broadcasts Begins Sept. 4
NEW YORK August 2, 2010 - Mike Mayock, one of televisions premier college football and NFL Draft experts, joins NBC Sports Notre Dame football coverage as game analyst, filling the role vacated by Pat Haden. Mayocks inaugural game will take place on September 4 when the Fighting Irish host Purdue in the first game of NBC Sports 20th season broadcasting Notre Dame football.
Mayock, a former NFL defensive back, is NFL Networks leading college football and NFL Draft analyst. He is featured on numerous NFL Network programs throughout the year, including Playbook and NFL Total Access, and provides content for all NFL Draft-related programming.
Mikes knowledge of and passion for college football has resulted in him becoming one of the most respected voices in the game, said NBC Sports executive producer Sam Flood. He possesses a relentless work ethic and perfect pedigree as a former player and son of a coach. We are excited to add him to our team.
Mayock joins veteran NBC Sports and Notre Dame commentators Tom Hammond (play-by-play) and Alex Flanagan (sideline reporter).
Mayocks extensive football broadcast experience includes serving as a game analyst for NFL Networks coverage of the Texas Bowl, the Insight Bowl, and Under Armour Senior Bowl, as well as preseason games for the Minnesota Vikings. Prior to joining NFL Network, he served as a college football analyst for ABC Sports (2001-03), Fox Sports Net (2000), and CBS Sports (1996-99).
As the son of a coach and someone who has been around football my entire life, my favorite part of sports television has always been broadcasting games, said Mayock. The fact that I will now provide commentary on one of the most historically important teams in the history of college football on NBC Sports makes me about as happy as I can be as a sports broadcaster.
Critical acclaim for Mayocks preparation, knowledge and insight, include:
* Remember this name: Mike Mayock. New York Times following the 2006 NFL Draft
* Mayock was Nostradamus at last years draft Sports Illustrated prior to the 2007 NFL Draft


text: Charleston still hoping to land MEC basketball tournament By Doug Smock April 17, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The city of Charleston is putting on a full-court press to keep what was the West Virginia Conference basketball tournament in town, but the clock has started ticking on that effort.The same clock has been ticking toward the end of the 89-year-old WVC. Nine of its members have left to form three-quarters of the Mountain East Conference, which has received the NCAA's go-ahead to launch as a new Division II league.Three members, Ohio Valley, Davis & Elkins and Alderson-Broaddus, have moved on to the fledgling Great Midwest Athletic Conference, along with former WVC member Salem International.As it brings its top-seeded men's tennis team to Charleston today for the final WVC tournament in that sport, Bluefield State is holding out hope it can join the Mountain East.Athletic director Terry Brown says filling out schedules for 2013-14 has not been a problem, calling future MEC schools "very cooperative." But he would love to get his program in the MEC, especially with Virginia-Wise a charter member."We really haven't gotten a clear direction, but we're hoping to have some closure pretty soon," Brown said. "That we didn't sponsor football originally, that was a concern. I think it's changed somewhat since then. Early on, the driving force was football.""I'm personally hoping they go to the G-Mac with us, but that's a geographical challenge for them," said Dennis Cox, Ohio Valley's athletic director.As for his school, Cox is more ready for the transition. The G-Mac will have 10 members in 2013-14, spread over four states. With the lower number of schools, OVU will get more nonconference games - and more leeway to schedule old WVC rivals. "I know we're going to be very comfortable with it," he said. "Nashville and Owensboro are seven-hour drives, but otherwise it's a great fit for us."The Mountain East previously announced its football format, playing a nine-game schedule this year and a 10-game slate in 2014. The latter provides a full round-robin schedule among the 11 football-playing teams, and eliminates the headache of scheduling nonconference teams.The league has yet to launch its full website, let alone announce its format for other sports - or where championships will take place.That has Charleston officials working overtime to land the basketball tournament. Think about it: The city was the site of all WVC tournaments from 1960-2013, essentially from the time the first Civic Center was built. With a convenient location and good venue with both Civic Center arenas, lobbying was unnecessary.But this spring, the city is taking no chances, making presentations to commissioner Reid Amos and officials from MEC schools. Everybody from the mayor's office to the Convention and Visitors Bureau to Civic Center general manager John Robertson has joined the effort.There is an eyeball or two peeking north at Wheeling, home of the MEC office and the city that wrested the high school football Super Six from Charleston two decades ago and hasn't let go. There is sentiment in Wheeling that the city should make a run at the new tournament, touting the smaller Wesbanco Arena as a better environment for a small-college tournament. But blotting out a week of potential dates for the Wheeling Nailers hockey team could prove problematic. The Nailers used 37 home dates in the just-concluded season, 30 held between Thursday and Sunday.And that came with the Nailers making a 19-day road trip in February. Charleston doesn't have that worry, and it has 50-plus years of experience putting on the event."The fact that they're a brand-new conference, this is one thing they wouldn't have to start from scratch," said Tim Brady, vice president of sales and services for the Charleston CVB. "The staff at the Civic Center and the community groups involved have done this for years. In my opinion, coming to Charleston would be one less thing they have to start from scratch."Robertson has hosted three tournaments for years, too, the WVC and the two state high school tournaments. He is uncertain what format the Mountain East will use - for instance, will all 12 teams, men and women, come to the same site? - but he's ready for everything.Well, almost everything. He understands the challenge that Amos and the MEC schools have in launching the new conference, but he can't block out the week ending March 1, 2014 forever. "We're going to have to get an answer pretty soon," Robertson said. "We've got people interested in booking dates. We're holding open the dates. We've got several clients that would like to move into those dates. "I'd like to have [an answer] within weeks, not months."Amos, pulling double duty and then some as MEC commissioner and vice president of broadcasting at West Liberty, did not return a call for comment.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

The Corvette won a hard-earned FIA GT3 Team Championship in 2007, clinching the title in Dubai by just one point over Ferrari. At the end of the season, Ernst Woehr, director of Callaway Competition, announced he would field a two-car team for 2008. James Ruffier and Arnaud Peyroles signed on to drive Nicola Bulgari's IDEC-sponsored entry, while GT1 driver Sascha Bert was tapped to pilot the Uli Martini-owned car.
With the driver lineup solidified, Woehr and his crew in Leingarten, Germany, began building a new Z06.R for Bulgari. The car started life as an '07 Z06 dealer demonstrator that had been totaled during a testdrive. While the Callaway crew performed the conversion, the Dubai-winning Vette was used to win FIA approval for a new six-speed sequential transmission. The trans improved the Corvette's lap times by almost two seconds, giving team members high hopes for the upcoming season.
Then, several weeks before the season-opening Silverstone event, Martini announced he was retiring from racing. Now down a car, Woehr decided to take the Dubai Vette and the newly completed Bulgari Z06.R to England for the race. This allowed Callaway to enter as a two-car effort, even though the team had drivers for only one car.
Woehr and company arrived at Silverstone on the Thursday before the race. The weather was cold and extremely windy, with the constant threat of rain. Two Friday practice sessions gave Peyroles and Ruffier an opportunity to get familiar with their new car and afforded the Callaway crew a chance to replace a suspect engine.
On Saturday, Peyroles qualified ninth for Race One with a time of 1:54.038; a Porsche took the pole with a 1:52.844. Ruffier, meanwhile, qualified third for Race Two with a time of 1:51.269, just behind the pole-setting Ford GT's 1:50.237. The real surprise of the weekend was the speed shown by the Ford, Porsche, Morgan, and Jaguar entries. All of these former also-rans underwent major revisions over the winter to emerge as real threats.
A total of 42 cars representing 11 manufacturers took the green flag in Race One. As they exited the first corner, the No. 11 Ferrari slammed into the left rear of the Callaway Corvette. Although Peyroles somehow managed to avoid a catastrophic spin in traffic, damage to the car's rear suspension and bodywork quickly dropped it well down the order. (The Ferrari fared less well and was retired.) Slowly, Peyroles learned how to control the ill-handling Vette and began moving back up through the field. Ruffier took over and was able to bring the crippled car home in Seventh Place, well back from the winning Ford GT. Overnight repairs proved successful, leaving the team feeling upbeat about its chances in Race Two.
As the field came onto the main straight on Sunday, the No. 25 Ascari spun in the middle of the pack and took out three cars. Then, when the green flag fell, a Viper hit the left-front wheel of the Corvette. This caused another handling problem, dropping the car back to fourth behind the leading Ford, the Morgan, and the freshly mended No. 11 Ferrari. Soon after, Ruffier got the inside line on the Ferrari in a corner and went for the pass. An abortive attempt to block the move led the opposing driver to spin out and stall. Ruffier then passed the Morgan to take over second place. When the Ford refused to start after the driver-change pit stop, Peyroles took over the lead.
This is when the Ford's true performance potential became apparent. After reentering the race in seventh, the car quickly dispatched the front-running cars until it sat on the leading Corvette's rear bumper with nine minutes remaining. The blue rocket quickly passed the Vette on the outside of Silverstone's Stowe Corner and pulled away to take its second win of the weekend.
Considering the obstacles it faced over the weekend, the Callaway crew was happy to return to Germany with its Seventh- and Second-Place finishes. It's likely that the Ford GT will get a "balance of performance" adjustment before the next race, bringing it into concinnity with the rest of the field. Maybe the storm clouds witnessed at Silverstone have passed, and another championship awaits the Corvettes just over the horizon.

Five University of Colorado Boulder engineering students recently returned from Haiti where they introduced a green energy vocational training program, paving the way for a new era of distributed power in the poverty-stricken, earthquake-damaged nation.
"Haiti is a proud country that lacks the infrastructure needed to support the opportunities we enjoy in the states," said Joanna Gordon, a graduate student in mechanical engineering. "This sustainable energy vocational training aims to plant a seed of conscious development. By investing in the future and focusing on efficiency and conservation, community needs can be met."
After an initial visit by the CU-Boulder team to Haiti in January to assess specific energy needs and employment opportunities for those who are trained in the field, the students worked with engineering professors Alan Mickelson and Mike Hannigan to design a 250-hour curriculum for the Mon P'tit Village school in Leogane.
The curriculum they developed, 80 percent of which is comprised of hands-on exercises, covers the installation, operation and maintenance of solar, wind, and hydropower renewable energy systems, including such basics as wiring and circuitry.
Last month, the students returned to Leogane for three weeks to train six local instructors on the essential knowledge and skills they need to pass on to their students. To provide the instructors with hands-on experience, CU students led them in a reinstallation of the school's solar electric system, including fixing the angle of the solar panels mounted on the roof so they achieve maximum performance.
The local instructors will further develop the curriculum by writing course assignments and more. Beginning this fall, they will teach the curriculum to local students in the 11th grade and beyond. The Neges Foundation, a relief and development organization, is supporting the instructors.
"I am short of words to describe the admiration, respect and high esteem that I felt toward the visiting team of students from Boulder, Colorado, for the dedication, passion and professionalism that they were able to demonstrate toward the Haitian teachers during the green energy training," said Yoleine Gateau, founder and vice president of the Mon P'tit Village school.
"On behalf of the Neges Foundation, founding President James Philemy joins me in thanking the entire team of professors and students who came together to make this a model of what people -- regardless of their color, creed or culture -- can do to reach out to the less fortunate in this world," she wrote in an email to CU.
Nathan Canney, a graduate student in civil engineering who is completing the Engineering for Developing Communities Graduate Certificate at CU-Boulder, said he was "stunned by the extreme warmth and openness that I received from the Haitian people," despite the fact that many Haitians remain displaced from their homes and are living in tents on school grounds following the January 2010 earthquake.
"Whether it was during our training classes, meals, playing soccer, or at the beach, we and the Haitian instructors were always making jokes and laughing," Canney said. "I felt like my best self, where I was bringing joy to those around me and equally feeding off of the joy they were sharing."
The CU team was led by graduate student Matthew Hulse and also included graduate student Mark Hasemeyer, along with undergraduates Steven Kluck, Kelli Fischer and Alex Demarais.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Foundation and the CU-Boulder Outreach Award supported the project. The CU-Boulder Outreach Award is supported by the Office of the Chancellor, the Office of the Provost and CU-Boulder Continuing Education.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Protect Your Back as You Lie Down
Bending or twisting your back can cause back pain. When you are
getting into bed, avoid twists and bends by following these steps. First, back
up to the bed, reach your hands back toward the bed as you bend your knees, and
use your arms to help lower yourself to
sit straight on the side of the bed. Then
use your arms to support you as you lean to the side. At the same time, lift your
legs off the floor. The idea is to keep your back in one nice, straight
position as you lower your upper body and raise your legs.
Keep your back straight and your legs bent after you are lying down. You can put a
pillow between your knees and stay on your side, or roll onto your back and put
a pillow under your knees.
To get out of bed, do the same steps in reverse: Roll to your side,
use your arms to help raise your upper body as you lower your legs to the
floor, then use your hands to help push yourself up from the bed.

ESPN is reporting that the Red Sox are interested in a Mike Lowell-Luis Castillo trade.
It's hard to understand why that would be a good trade for either organization as the Sox already have a really good second baseman in Justin Pedroia and Lowell is fading with age and injury. He's coming off thumb surgery last week and had hip surgery in 2008.
Where this trade might make sense is if the Mets do not re-sign Carlos Delgado. However, Newsday is reporting the Mets front office is still high on Delgado, who went 1-for-4 in his latest Winter League game, and are "very interested" in him still.
Then Lowell could be a starting first baseman with Daniel Murphy as a backup, giving Lowell a day or two off each week. The same case could be made for Delgado.
If you had to choose between the two, which one would you take?

A California Drought: Not Enough Children
Declining migration and falling birthrates have led to a drop in the number of children in California just as baby boomers reach retirement, creating an economic and demographic challenge for the nation's most populous state.
"After decades of burgeoning population and economic growth…the state now faces a very different prospect," said a report released Tuesday by the University of Southern California and the Lucile Packard Foundation. The report, "California's Diminishing Resource: Children," analyzed data from the 2010 census and the American Community Survey to conclude that the trend marks a "historic transition" for the state.
In 1970, six years after the end of the baby boom, children made up more than one-third of California's population. By 2030, they will account for just one-fifth, according to projections by lead author Dowell Myers, a USC demographer. "We have a massive replacement problem statewide," Mr. Myers said in an interview.
California's demographic shift mirrors that of many Northeast and Midwest states, including New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and Michigan, where the percentage of children fell even more sharply from 2000 to 2010. But unlike those states, California has always relied on migrants from other states and abroad to fuel its economy, and the change represents a new reality for the Golden State.
Ever since the Gold Rush, the majority of Californians has been born elsewhere. That pattern began to change in the 1990s, when migrants were attracted by the lower cost of living and rapid growth in other Western and Southern states. Then, the housing bust and 2008 financial crisis hit California harder than most states. By 2010, more than half of all adults 25 to 34 years old were born in California.
At the same time, the state's birthrate fell to 1.94 children per woman in 2010, below the replacement level of 2.1 children, according to the study. California's rate is lower than the overall U.S. rate of 2.06 children in 2012, according to the Central Intelligence Agency.
The shrinking pool of youngsters coincides with a bulging population of older people. Nationally, "we are approaching a period of very large retirement, something like two million people a year for the next 20 years," said Stephen Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, an independent research group.
In 1970, California averaged 21 seniors for every 100 working-age adults. By 2030, that ratio is expected to rise to 36 seniors per 100 working-age adults, according to the report. That retirement wave will place "massive pressure on institutions and programs for an aging population," the report said.
Today's children will be the workers who pay for those programs and who take jobs vacated by boomers in the state's high-technology hub in Silicon Valley, its entertainment industry in Los Angeles and its farm belt in the Central Valley.
"Unless the birthrate picks up, we are going to need more immigrants. If neither happens, we are going to have less growth," said Mr. Levy. The report wasn't optimistic, saying that "with migration greatly reduced…outsiders are much less likely to come to the rescue."
Investments in the state's education system will be vital to meet labor-force needs and prevent the economy from contracting, said Mr. Levy. With less migration to the state, the skills and human capital necessary to keep California's economy afloat will need to be homegrown, both Mr. Levy and Mr. Myers said.
With more than 90% of the state's children under age 10 born in the state, "the majority of the next generation of workers will have been shaped by California's health and education systems," Mr. Myers said. "It's essential that we nurture our human capital."
Many of those future workers, however, will have grown up in poverty. More than 20% of children in California now live below the federal poverty level.
The report found that the birthrate had tumbled for every population group. In 2010, it was below replacement level for whites, Asians and African-Americans.
The birthrate for Hispanics, who account for 51% of children under 18 in the state, was slightly above replacement level. But Hispanic birthrates are seeing the steepest drop of any group and are expected to fall to the replacement level in 2020, the report said.

London Fashion Week A/W 2011 Menswear Day Catwalk Review: Christopher Shannon
King of the Luxe-Chavs Christopher Shannon made me squeal during London Fashion Week's Menswear Day this season - for all the right reasons. Rihanna? Check! Frou-frou sportswear? Check! Illustrations courtesy of Maria Papadimitriou, Oscar Rubio, Krister Selin and Michelle Urvall Nyrén!
Written by Matt Bramford

Christopher Shannon burst back on to the catwalk on Menswear Day at London Fashion Week in typical chav-luxe fashion. Menswear day was a bit hot and cold this season - some of the shows were extremely busy, but when I arrived at Christopher Shannon's there didn't seem to be that many attendees, so I plonked myself on the front row and fiddled with my iPhone in a bid to look belonging and important. I even adjusted my crumbling posture (which is hella difficult after the cruel strains of back-to-back slumping at shows).

Gold Coast Packing Inc. has adopted a new logo to reflect growth at the company that includes ongoing construction of a processing plant and cold storage facility.
The Santa Maria, Calif.-based grower-shipper and processor is partnering with Babe Farms on the 100,000-square foot site, expected to open in September or October.
"We're opening this new facility and the logo needed to reflect something a little fresher as to what Gold Coast has become and where we're heading in the future," said Brent Scattini, vice president of sales.
The logo colors have changed, and lettering — "Fresh Healthy Produce Since 1978" — has been added.
"It reinforces the business we're in and the longevity of our company," Scattini said.
A picture of a ship — which represents Santa Maria — remains the same.
The new logo appears this month in point-of-sale materials and tradeshow booths.
"We'll start implementing it on packaging materials in the fall," he said.
Gold Coast Packing grows and processes broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, cilantro and parsley.
"We do a lot of customized packing for national restaurant chains," Scattini said. "It's all processed, predominately for foodservice."
Babe Farms and Gold Coast Packing will share the facility when construction is complete. About 150 employees will operate the plant six days weekly.
Babe Farms offers specialty salads and baby vegetables for foodservice.

InfoGraphic: Understanding the Treatment Cascade
InfoGraphic: Understanding the Treatment Cascade
This interactive InfoGraphic explains the Treatment Cascade--a visual model that shows how the proportion of individuals living with HIV/AIDS with fully suppressed virus (i.e., those fully benefiting from HIV/AIDS therapy) cascades downward due to factors like not knowing one's HIV status or being in care inconsistently or not at all. In the U.S., only a small proportion of infected individuals in the United States (28 out of 100) whose virus is fully suppressed. The treatment cascade was first described in 2011 by Gardner, et. al. in Clinical Infectious Diseases and further examined by CDC in a 2012 study and described in this AIDS.GOV Blog.
This presentation (called Gardner Cascade for Smart People) was developed by the Office of HIV Planning, Philadelphia for use by the Philadelphia EMA Ryan White Part A Planning Council and the Philadelphia HIV Prevention Group.
Below is a video on the Treatment Cascade, developed with support of Gilead, illustrating how improvements along each step of the treatment cascade can help achieve an AIDS-free generation in the United States.

What Have You Accidentally Spilled In Your Bag?

It won't likely meet an Italian grandmother's approval, but a new pasta being formulated from green banana flour may be the solution that celiac patients have longed for. Researchers at the University of Brasilia have managed to put together a tasty blend that holds up well to cooking.
Anyone shopping for gluten-free pasta will tell you that many rice, corn and other noodles fall apart or don't have quite the right taste or texture when compared to wheat flour pasta. However, a majority of taste-testers – 25 with celiac disease and 50 without – liked the pasta made from ground bananas, egg whites and xanthan and guar gums.
Raquel Botelho, one of the dietititians from the University of Brasilia who worked on the formula, told Reuters that green banana flour may also present a great option for gluten-free breads, biscuits and pizza dough. For now, the team must try to get the pasta from the lab to the grocery store shelf.
The bonus? This celiac-friendly pasta has fewer calories and less fat than whole wheat pasta and would be much cheaper than other gluten-free pastas. Now that's something any grandmother would be happy about!

I'm curious to know if anyone has modified a Fade Crunch bag by putting some sort of structure in it to where you can put the discs sideways.
If can get 14 in there sideways easily, but it compresses the putter pocket too much.
I was thinking some sort of stiff, flat material might work for an internal support structure, which would keep the putter pocket from collapsing. I'm thinking of it in my head, but can't think of what to call it other than "plastic cardboard".
Any thoughts are welcome.

Dodgers reinstate Stephen Fife
The Los Angeles Dodgers today reinstated pitcher Stephen Fife from the 15-day disabled list and the right-hander will make the start this afternoon against the Cubs in Chicago, his ninth of the season. Outfielder/first baseman Scott Van Slyke was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.
Fife is 3-3 with a 2.76 ERA (14 ER/45.2 IP) this season in eight starts for Los Angeles. The Idaho native made two rehab starts following a second stint on the disabled list with right shoulder bursitis that started on July 8, the same day the club activated Ricky Nolasco. In those outings for Triple-A Albuquerque, Fife was 0-1, despite allowing just two runs in 10.0 innings while striking out 13. Fife was placed on the DL with the same injury April 27-May 30.
Van Slyke was hitting .242 with six homers and 15 RBI in 36 games.

Philly group helps locate best options on fast-food menu
A community group in North Philadelphia is helping local residents navigate the maze of fast food options in the neighborhood.
Health educator Marian Dalke leads an eight-week course on better eating and exercise at Congreso de Latinos Unidos. The Healthy Movimiento program was taught in Spanish and was free to participants.
Dalke takes her students on a fast-food field trip, but arms them with calorie and nutrition information first. When the group arrives at the restaurant and looks up at the menu board, Dalke says the healthy options can be hard to find.
"So if there's a crunchy chicken, crispy chicken and grilled chicken, just being able to distinguish between those," Dalke said.
Congreso's community center sits at the corner of Second and Somerset streets just blocks away from a Checkers, Wendy's, McDonald's and a Popeye's.
"We're just trying to meet people where they are at," Dalke said. "We can't give people messages about healthy living that they aren't able to apply directly into their lives — saying shop organic at Trader Joe's if that's not an option for them."
Katherine Bauer, a health researcher at Temple University's Center for Obesity Research and Education, says her team recently studied the offerings at some of the largest fast-food chains. The big purveyors of burgers and chalupas have created healthier options in recent years, but Bauer said the sheer number of options has increased too.
"There's a lot of things being advertised and sold to you," she said. "You have to be thoughtful in what you are selecting to ensure that you are not going to end up with a meal that's way over your target calorie intake for the day."
Bauer's new study was published in the November issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
She's not surprised when a customer goes into a restaurant with good intentions and leaves with a sweet tea and large fries.
"I really think we need some policy action and to change our environment because it's just too hard for individuals to sort through all this," Bauer said.
The federal Affordable Care Act includes a plan to require chain restaurants to include calorie-counts on menu boards and drive-thru signs, but it's not clear when the final rules will be written.
