To say the Owen County Rebels have dominated the 31st District over the past five seasons would be an understatement.
Just look at the numbers. In the last five seasons the Rebels are now 42-5 against teams from the 31st District, including a 25 game winning streak against district foes.
Their dominance was on full display this week at the 31st District Tournament in Warsaw as they captured their fifth straight 31st District crown. Owen County claimed the title with a 66-54 win over Henry County on Saturday night in front of a packed crowd of Rebel supporters.
It seems like a distant memory now but two years ago the Lady Rebels won just a single game. On Friday night in Warsaw, the team returned to the summit of the 31st District with a 46-43 win over Gallatin County.
"We're back," said a smiling Molly Gamble, holding her piece of the net she had just cut down. "We've had a rough couple of years so this means a lot."
Two Lady Rebel games last week came down to a final shot. The first went in favor of Owen County while the second one did not.
On Monday, the Lady Rebels hosted Woodford County. The Lady Yellow Jackets enjoyed the first half momentum as they jumped out to a 32-20 halftime advantage. The second half was a different story.
The magic carpet ride continues for the Owen County Rebels.
The Rebels recovered nicely after their heartbreaking loss last week at the All "A" Classic. The team bounced back nicely picking up three quality wins over three tough opponents.
The Owen County Rebels headed to Frankfort on Thursday with high expectations. Students and faculty lined the road wishing the team luck as they headed out of town. The return trip on Saturday night was not as jubilant.
Murray's James Boone took only one 3-point shot on Saturday night during the semifinals of the Kentucky All "A" Classic. It was a big one. As the shot fell through the net the Tigers rushed onto the floor in celebration and the Rebels were left wondering what had just happened.
The Owen County Lady Rebels played a pair of games last week. In both cases, the outcomes of each were determined by the second half.
The team hosted Lexington Christian on Monday night. The first half was closely contested with Owen County holding a 29-25 lead over the Lady Eagles at halftime. The second half was a much different story as the Lady Rebels grabbed the momentum and ran with it. They outscored Lexington Christian 38-32 and won 67-47.
With the start of basketball season getting close, fans will have a chance to come out and get a look at the Rebels and Lady Rebels.
Everyone is invited to come out for Maroon Madness, which begins at 6 p.m., Thursday night in the Floyd Gritton Gymnasium. The event includes player introductions, inter-squad scrimmages and a 3-point shooting contest between the boys and girls.
Between the scrimmages, Carson Williams will be signing a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball next season at Northern Kentucky University.
The Owen County Football team will have a new head coach on the sidelines in 2016.
After their first round playoff loss to Holy Cross, head coach Adam Fowler resigned. Fowler leaves the job after eight seasons at the helm. During his tenure, the Rebels posted three winning seasons and won the district once.
"The last eight years have been wonderful," Fowler said of his time at Owen County. "The kids there are great kids."
The Owen County boys entered the 31st District Tournament last week looking to do something they had not done since 2012.
A win over Gallatin County last Tuesday night would mean a trip to the district finals and a spot in the 8th Region Tournament this week. Goals by Ricardo Perez and Christian Trejo gave the team a 2-0 win over the Wildcats and kept their season alive for at least two more games.
The Owen County volleyball team concluded the regular season last week.
The Lady Rebels played their final regular season and home match of the 2015 season on Thursday night and recognized their five seniors in the process. Tori Cammack, Arielle Columbia, Bertha Aguazal, Courtney Gullion and Kirsten Parker were each honored during a ceremony before the team's match with Heritage Academy.
Once the match began the two teams played a hard fought, competitive match with the Eagles defeating the Lady Rebels 25-22 and 27-25.

What Happens if You Don`t Comply?
I am almost 60 years old and have had mild asthma since childhood.
Over the years there have been many changes in the recommended treatment for asthma. Some of those have been welcome and some less so.
The recommendation for inhaled steroids USED to be to use them as little as possible, and only when an exacerbation got very bad and wouldn`t subside on its own. They were considered bad for your health in general. Then the recommendation changed, so that they started recommending daily inhaled steroids all the time, year round.
I never warmed up to that recommendation and never really followed it.
Now my (new) dr is telling me that I have probably already destroyed my lungs by not taking daily inhaled steroids. She said that I have probably created scar tissue that will never go away.
Am I really doomed? Is that what really happens if you don`t take daily inhaled steroids for your whole life, or is she just trying to bawl me out and scare me?
There is a very small percentage of patients with asthma that develop fixed, irreversible obstruction, but the vast majority do not, and we have no data that treatment with inhaled corticosteroids prevents that. Therefore, treatment of asthma is based solely on control of symptoms (cough, wheezing, nocturnal awakenings with cough or wheezing, and exercise limitation).
If a patient is experiencing weekly symptoms, they should take a daily preventative medicine and use albuterol as needed. The best preventative medications are the inhaled corticosteroids although the leukotriene inhibitors (singulair) are an alternative. We generally don't worry much about low dose inhaled steroids and osteoporosis.

I made a visit to a Vietnamese Buddhist Temple today that is about 20 minutes from my home that done "prayers" / chanting on Sundays, a particularly convenient day for me since I don't have to work. While I didn't understand a bit of their chanting (all Vietnamese, no Pali), I was impressed by the devotion expressed by those who were there and am considering returning, if for no other reason than to attend the yoga course offered immediately preceding.
I was a little curious, however, as to any differences anyone here can think of between Theravada and that which is practiced (in general) by Vietnamese monks and nuns. In this particular case, there was a single nun present and, somewhat to my surprise, she ate with everyone at the lunch offered after the service (around 1PM). I guess I'm just curious if there are different Vinaya rules.
I am thinking about posting this question on Dharma Wheel, but I haven't done so yet (since this is sorta my "home" forum).
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Letter to the editor: Obama gets my vote
October 31, 2012
I disagree with Linda Norton's letter claiming that Mitt Romney is the responsible choice for president. I don't know how she can say she trusts Romney when there is no way to know what he really stands for. He has contradicted himself on nearly every issue in this campaign and in many cases tells outright lies.
Romney recently claimed that Chrysler is moving all of its Jeep production to China. Chrysler found it necessary to release a statement that it was not true and that it is actually expanding its production of Jeeps in Ohio. Even after Chrysler's correction, the Romney campaign continues to run deceitful ads in order to scare voters into thinking their jobs are threatened.
Romney's main agenda appears to be to eliminate nearly all federal government programs including Federal Emergency Management Agency. With the terrible destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy these last few days, FEMA has had a major role in helping the millions of people in this historic storm. When Romney is now asked if he still believes that FEMA should be shut down, he refuses to even answer the question. Meanwhile, Obama has shown his competence overseeing disaster relief operations and communicating directly with governors in the affected states. Republican Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie had nothing but praise for Obama's handling of this disaster.
President Obama puts the American people ahead of politics while Romney says he isn't concerned about 47 percent of the people in our country. Obama has the character and integrity we deserve in a president. I'm voting to reelect President Obama, the candidate we can trust.

Ok, I stayed out of the Sacramento game because frankly I was still (and still am) fuming about that loss to the Suns.
I didn't want to rain on a win so I just bit my tongue and moved on. I didn't want to point out that it took Kevin Martin missing two bunnys late in the game or that Travis Diener was hitting more shots than he had all season combined.
You know the old statement, a win is a win, afterall.
So now we move onto this game with the Warriors and I just want to ask one question for all of those who are advocating our newest and latest lineup change.
What the h@ll are we doing?
No, really, what are we doing?
Is this a long term plan where this is how we will play for the next 5 years? Is this a stop gap measure just to stop the losing? Are we trying to develop the young players?
A show of hands, who actually thinks this will be the way to win in the east in a playoff series?
Ok, if this is not about winning in the playoffs what is it about?
Look, I'm fine with any of the above answers I guess. But I just want to know what the plan is.
My guess is that this is just a stop gap measure to try something new to get some wins and make the Simons goal of reaching the playoffs.
This cute lineup will work against the two teams we just played and we will play both of them again this week so for now it is fine.
But I can't wait till we try and small ball the Pistons. Oh that will be fun. Ah who am I kidding no matter what lineup we use they will spank us.
Anyway, I guess I'm just confused about why all of a sudden we are having a lineup change again.
On to the game.
I don't want to hear one word from any of the Jackson fans on here about how our fans treat good old Jax. Look I always said our fans were unfair to him but after that reception that Dunleavy just got Jacksons trips to the fieldhouse are like a welcome home parade for military hero's.
It's to bad that we blew what was a pretty good overall game for him.
Now why did we lose?
Well there are a number of things you could say led to our defeat.
How about Jamaal Tinsley's childish flagrant 1 that lit Montana Ellis on fire?
How about Jamaal Tinsley's inability to even pretend to slow down any of thier point guards who decided to drive the lane.
How about we got a full frontal view of why if Travis Diener isn't hitting his shots that he is mostly a liabilty on the floor.
But mostly how about a coach who thinks that an open three point shot is like the holy grail, not realizing that in any NBA game the opponet will give you a free open three all game long at some position knowing that you are most likely going to hit it at about 30% of the time.
Sorry, I think I will not talk about O'Brien tonight for fear that my thoughts on that Pheonix game are still tainting my thoughts. Yes, I still 100% blame him for that loss.
Were we beat by the better team tonight? My answer is yes so I guess what is there to gripe about.
Right now we are one of the worst teams in the league and I just don't even know how to dig out of this.
Oh, I guess I should give this up so I don't get scolded for not recognizing.
Jermaine O'Neal played one hell of a game. Now if we could only get him to play against 6'8" centers the rest of the year we will be in business.
I'm tempted to just erase all of this because frankly it's just filled with to much negativity.
But frankly right now I am lost as to what we are doing. Once I figure that ourt I guess I will feel better.
Again another question.
Long term, does anybody think Danny Granger should be the 4?
I would advocate trading away Foster and Diogu if it wasn't for the fact that in about 3 weeks when this hasn't worked Foster at least will be back for sure.
Diogu to be honest with you probably should be moved & I actually liked Ike. But he is not going to fit into this system and is far to concerned with his shots to be of any real use.
That end of the game play drawn up by O'Brien was pure genius wasn't it?
Can you imagine what Dwight Howard is going to do to us?
Oh well to end on something positive, at least Marquis played well.

CAPITOLA - A Metro bus with about 20 passengers aboard caught fire Friday evening, but the bus was evacuated before anyone was injured, Central Fire Protection District officials said.
The driver of the bus was dropping off a passenger on Capitola Road across from the mall about 5:24 p.m. when he looked in his rear-view mirror and noticed smoke coming out of the diesel engine, Battalion Chief John Walbridge said.
He evacuated the bus and hit an emergency button that notified a supervisor, Walbridge said.
When firefighters arrived, flames were burning into the passenger compartment, he said.
The engine was destroyed while the passenger area sustained mostly smoke damage, he said.
Walbridge said the engine was so badly destroyed that the cause of the blaze may not ever be known.
He said it was unusual and that those buses are typically well-maintained.

- To determine the impact of MSM-targeted multidisciplinary services on uptake of HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT)
- To determine the impact of MSM-targeted multidisciplinary services on the enrollment into care and retention of HIV-positive MSM
Subject population: HIV-negative and HIV-positive MSM clients, age ≥18 years old, of the Thai Red Cross Anonymous Clinic (TRC-AC) in Bangkok Thailand, the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Jakarta, and the Sanglah Hospital in Bali, Indonesia
Number of participants: 200 HIV-negative and 150 HIV-positive MSM participants

|Study Start Date:
|May 2011
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2017
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This is a prospective cohort study which will recruit 350 MSM clients within 3 months, and follow them for 12 months. MSM to be recruited will be first-time clients who come to the clinics for services other than VCT. These services may include but would not be limited to sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis and treatment, anal dysplasia screening, nutritional counseling and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP).
Approximately 250 MSM clients with unknown or previously negative HIV status will be offered HIV testing every 3 months (HIV-negative MSM cohort). MSM from the HIV-negative cohort who tested HIV-positive during the study (estimated 20%, 50 MSM) will be referred to the HIV-positive MSM cohort and will be followed up every 6 months. Additional clients who visit the clinic during the 3-month recruitment period with previously known HIV-positive status but have not been linked to HIV care (up to 100) will also be enrolled into HIV-positive MSM cohort. Therefore, there will be up to 150 HIV-positive subjects enrolled in this study. Each enrolled participant will have 12 months in the study.
This study will allow us to assess VCT and linkage into care, as well as HIV risk behavior and need for nPEP, and the incidence or prevalence of important morbidities in MSM such as STIs, anal dysplasia/cancer, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.
|Ages Eligible for Study:

A couple years ago I had a little idea about an all time NBA draft. At the time there was lots of talk about who was the greatest to ever play. I thought it would be great fun to see how a draft of anyone that ever played would unfold.
I sat on the idea for awhile because I really wasn't sure of the response it would receive or just exactly how to pull it off.
This off season I decided, what the heck, lets see what happens. If nothing else it will help kill a little time during the "basketball hell" that is August & September.
With the help of Burnzone we had a site that allowed us to actually play out games using the rosters that we put together.
Seems a few other in our league had some experience with What if Sports as well. Burnzone, Roaming Gnome & Sycamore Ken & others all lent a hand in getting the rest of us prepared for our game.
The little idea to see who the top 100 or so players in the history of the game were had turned into a full blown contest.
About a third of the way thru the draft Roaming Gnome stepped in & started keeping track of how much each "owner" was spending on his roster.
By this time the game had gotten a lot bigger than I ever thought it would.
Gnome came up with the idea for the brackets, the best way to rank each team, the idea for the "regular season" & the format for the playoffs. He also was able to figure out a way to format the box scores so he could post them on our board. Then he stepped in & volunteered to sim every game once the action was to start.
Roaming Gnome you did an amazing job & the silly little idea I had would not have amounted to anything had you not stepped in & turned it into the event it turned out to be.
I hope you have the time to run the game next season & allow me to return to defend my title.
As mentioned before, Burnzone & Sycamore Ken also had a great deal to do with getting the game headed in the right direction.
A very big tip of the hat also to Magic Rat. MR jumped into the game in mid-draft & put together a very solid team. He also did an outstanding job posting updated stats during the playoffs.
A big thanks to all that played in the first Drafting Game.

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Once again, Gnome, thank you sir, very nice job.

The scrollbars in Sublime Text 2 work differently to any other application on Windows, and this is not a good thing.
If I click the the scrollbar area (but not the actual bar itself) then the window pages up or down as expected. But it does this on MOUSE UP instead of MOUSE DOWN like normal applications. So you click the scroll area and nothing happens, as the application is waiting for you to release the mouse button. It gives everything a sluggish feel.
Is there a setting to change this?
PS Sublime Text 2 rocks
Thanks for the report, I'll fix this for the next build

THERE may have been just the one fixture played in Division Three at the weekend but it was a massive game for Ade Giles' Stiffs as their 1-0 win over Polenez Westbury handed them their first win of the season.
Victory was the Stiffs' first since they beat Bratton Reserves in January 2012 and the result also denied Polenez a third straight win.
After a long break for both teams since their last game, Polenez started the stronger of the two sides, creating a couple of half chances in the first ten minutes.
After this, the Stiffs started to take control of things and were guilty of missing a number of gilt-edged chances, failing to even work Polenez keeper.
Polenez were struggling on the heavy pitch, losing players for periods during the first half through injury, but it was in the 35th minute that the Stiffs made all-important breakthrough when Dave Carroll finished off an excellent move, leaving the keeper with no chance.
The Stiffs' domination continued throughout the second half and but for some woeful finishing and good keeping, they should have scored many more.
Polenez kept battling, feeding on scraps from the odd counter attack and but for a world class tackle by John Farr in the in the final minute, could have snatched an undeserved point.
Not a game for the purist but a deserved three points for the Stiffs, well refereed by promising young offical Adam Osborne on a poor pitch.
MATCHES OFF: Bratton Reserves v Trowbridge Rangers, Trowbridge Town Reserves v Westwood News

Ewan McGregor Is Making His Broadway Debut
Getty/David M. Benett
If you're a theater nerd, a Star Wars fanatic, or both, we've got some good news and some bad news for you. Ewan McGregor is set to make his Broadway debut in a revival of Tom Stoppard's play, The Real Thing… but it doesn't open until next year. McGregor will take on the leading role of Henry, a playwright who finds his life beginning to imitate his art when an affair causes turmoil in his marriage as he's attempting to mount his own production about a marriage on the verge of collapse. So far, McGregor is the only actor confirmed for the production, but the team behind The Real Thing will have plenty of time to find the right people to round out the cast.
Although The Real Thing is his Broadway debut, McGregor has starred in numerous productions in London, most notably as Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls and as Iago in Othello, opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor. He also plays Bill Fordham, the son-in-law of Meryl Streep's abrasive matriarch in the upcoming film adaptation of Tracy Letts' play August: Osage County. His past theater credits are a good sign that McGregor will not only be adept at tackling Stoppard's monologues and philosophical discussions, but also that he won't be intimidated by the shadows cast by Roger Rees and Jeremy Irons, who have played Henry in the past.
The Real Thing was originally scheduled to be part of the Roundabout Theater's spring season, but has been pushed back for an October 2014 opening. It will have a limited run at the American Airlines Theater, where it will close in 2015. McGregor has plenty of film projects to satisfy fans in the meantime — he's currently filming Mortdecai with Johnny Depp and Gwyneth Paltrow, and August: Osage County opens in theaters on Christmas Day.

Beef is under recall from Wal-Marts all over Nebraska, including North Platte, after 10 cases of potentially deadly e-coli in Canada were traced to an XL Foods plant in Alberta.
At first, nearly 890,000 pounds of boneless beef trim were said to have been shipped to U.S. firms from XL Foods, Inc., but after conducting effectiveness checks, the U.S. Department of Agriculture now estimates that nearly 1.1 million pounds of trim and approximately 1.4 million pounds of primal and sub-primal cuts were received by U.S. firms.
The meat was used to produce steaks, roasts, mechanically tenderized steaks and roasts, and ground beef, the USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service said.
Meanwhile, the Public Health Agency of Canada recently linked five more illnesses to the strain of E. coli detected at the XL facility, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 10.
Most of the E.coli illnesses have occurred in Alberta, with two in Quebec and one in Newfoundland, Canadian TV reported.
The e.coli found at XL Foods -- E.coli O157 -- had not been detected in Canada or the United States prior to now.
Twenty-seven Nebraska Wal-Marts from Omaha to North Platte and McCook are affected by the recall.
The scope of the recall has placed the Canadian Food Inspection Agency under renewed scrutiny, CTV reported.
USDA: Prepare ground beef properly
The USDA advises people to wash hands before and after handling raw meat with warm/hot (preferred) or cold soapy running water by rubbing hands together vigorously for at least 20 seconds.
Also, the USDA says:
Wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot (preferred), soapy water and clean up any spills right away.
The mechanical action of vigorous rubbing of hands and utensils/surfaces creates friction that helps to dislodge bacteria and viruses from hands and surfaces.
Additionally, warm/hot water helps to dissolve fats/foods, aiding in cleaning/microbe removal and can also assist in deactivation of pathogens.
If soapy water is not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can reduce the number of germs on hands in some situations. However, sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs, including viruses.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry away from other food that will not be thoroughly cooked.
Use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry, and their juices and thoroughly cooked foods. Thoroughly cook ground meat such as beef to an internal temperature of 160° F, as measured with a food thermometer, before eating.
Refrigerate raw meat and poultry within two hours after purchase (one hour if temperatures exceed 90° F).
Refrigerate cooked meat and poultry within two hours after cooking.

Wherever I go to look for some new Rocs, all I can find is poppy-top domey Rocs that are made of that craptastic soft blend of DX. They also have slanted rims which I don't like. So, are there any? I could use two molds, if there isn't just one mold that could do everything. I have my eye on Buzzzes, Midaris, MVP mids and Ghosts, so basically anything Innova hasn't put its dirty hands on.
Any feedback on these?

Lynn....call me.
Hi Lynn, my husband is on hospice at home and I can tell you that's it's a huge relief to have them involved. We hav 1 dedicated nurse and she has done a tremendous job in helping to keep Dan comfortable. Also you can call them 24/7 for help. Before I felt that I was in limbo and all alone making every decision.
I'm sorry for what your going through. Sending you lots of hugs of support and strength.
Lynn excuse me for posting this but I want everyone to know you are OK now. Lynn called me and she is really ok, it was the initial shock of knowing the ONC had called Hospice. Hospice is coming to the hospital to get them all set up to go home.
George wants to go home and sit on his gigantic porch!
Thanks Lainy for letting us all know that Lynn is okay. I can so understand the shock of hearing about hospice for the first time and I hope that they can get George home today so that he and Lynn can sit on their porch! Sitting at home on your porch sounds good to me!
Lynn, praying you and George get home soon and they can keep pain under control . I will imagine the two of you on the porch enjoying each other.
Hugs, Lisa
I am glad you and George will be at home with help. I hope George will be more comfortable and be able to enjoy time on the porch. Thanks for letting us know about things, Lainy. I am sure Teddy is so proud of how much you help people. You are such a Godsend.
Love, -Pam

YEAH! Lynn and George, I can't wait to hear you sat on the porch! I am glad everything has calmed down and hope you both sleep good tonight!
Lynn....I am so glad to hear that you are home again.
I wish for a restful night; you so much deserve it.
Hugs and love,
I hope you get some sleep.It is so hard ,as we who have travelled the same path understand.It can feel very surreal as if in a parallel universe
but ..take care Janet
I just found your posts and am glad things have settled down and you are calmer now. Many of us have gone through what you are now and although none of it is easy, there is a lot of help and support out there to help you through it all. Take care and know I am thinking of you.

BROOKLYN - Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won again at Michigan International Speedway.
Only this time, he wasn't in the race car.
Regan Smith, driving the Earnhardt-owned No. 7 Chevrolet, took advantage of Parker Kligerman's gamble on fuel, and then held off Kyle Larson to win the Alliance Truck Parts 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race Saturday.
Smith, the series points leader, who had not led a lap in his four previous races, started 20th and drove through the field.
"We worked hard on this car all weekend," Smith said. "I'll be honest, after qualifying I was worried."
After climbing out of his Camaro, Smith tapped a sticker on the car honoring Jason Leffler, a former NASCAR driver who died in a sprint car racing accident earlier in the week.
"All our hearts are with the Leffler family right now," Smith said. "He's in a better place, smiling down on all of us."
Kligerman held the lead, but the No. 77 Toyota had to pit for fuel late in the race.
He didn't pit earlier during a caution as his team gambled that rain would shorten the race with Kligerman in the lead. Kligerman finished 25th. Rain fell soon after the 125-lap race was complete.
Earnhardt Jr. won the Sprint Cup race at MIS last June, his second victory at the track since 2008. He races in the Quicken Loans 400 on Sunday.
Larson, driving the No. 32 Chevrolet, is leading the Nationwide Series rookie of the year standings.
"I could inch to him (Smith), then I'd get too tight off Turn 2," Larson said. "It was a pretty emotional second place for our whole team. Leffler was a friend."
Sprint Cup regulars Paul Menard and Kyle Busch finished third and fourth, respectively.
Trevor Bayne, last week's winner at Iowa, finished fifth, his third consecutive top-five finish.
Smith has a 58-point lead over second-place Sam Hornish Jr.
NOTES: Ford is encouraging cooperation between its Sprint Cup teams from Penske Racing, Roush Fenway Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports, Richard Petty said. "We've all got to be on the same page," Petty said. "It might take a little while to get it done like Ford wants it done. Each one of the teams is going to have to say, 'We'll throw in something and get something back.'" ... Kurt Busch turned a lap of 197.368 mph in his Chevrolet, the fastest in the final practice for the Sprint Cup Quicken Loans 400 that will be Sunday at MIS. Pole-sitter Carl Edwards was fifth on the speed chart at 195.721 in a Ford. ... Edwards' pole is his first in 18 races at MIS. He made his Sprint Cup debut at the track in August 2004. ... AJ Allmendinger drove IndyCars in the Indianapolis 500 and the Detroit Grand Prix. He is in a Sprint Cup car this weekend. "First, (changing series) was kind of fun; now it's just kind of wearing on me a little bit, honestly," Allmendinger, who's driving the No. 47 Toyota at MIS, said. "I'm just trying my best." ... A trust fund has been established for Charlie Dean Leffler, 5, surviving son of race car driver Jason Leffler, who was killed in a racing accident Wednesday. Donations can be made to The Charlie Dean Leffler Discretionary Trust, c/o SunTrust Bank, 232 Williamson Road, Mooresville, NC 28117.

To enroll or find out if you're qualified, go to www.CoveredCA.com. or call the Covered California Customer Call Center at (888) 975-1142.
Those who want to speak to a Covered California certified insurance agent and certified enrollment counselor in person are asked to call 888-975-1142 to find the nearest agent.
Consumers can go to CoveredCA.com and compare plans under tiered policies that include Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum — each providing different levels of out-of-pocket costs, based on income. The plans listed are for individual coverage.
In addition, no patient can be turned away for pre-existing conditions and the maximum out-of-pocket cost comes to $6,350 annually.
Covered California officials recommend you have the following information ready:
* Number of people being enrolled (whole or partial family), including the birth date of each person.
* Social security number(s) for each family member.
* Home ZIP code.
* Most recent income tax filings, including dependent tax information and head of household status (if any).
* Legal immigration information, such as your immigration number.
* Information about your status as a member of a federally recognized tribe.
The launch of a major provision of the Affordable Care Act led to website and phone line glitches in various parts of the country Tuesday, including long wait times reported by some users in California.
More than 5 million hits were recorded by 3 p.m. on the website run by Covered California, a state-run online market exchange that lists health insurance plans for those who need to buy coverage under the laws of the Affordable Care Act. Another 17,000 calls were made to the help line. But state officials would not say how many people were enrolled. Instead, they said they would temporarily shut down the CoveredCA.com site Tuesday night for maintenance, and relaunch it Wednesday morning with hopes it could handle the groundswell of demand.
That there was so much interest from the public was a huge sign of success so far, said Covered California executive director Peter Lee. Even by 9:30 a.m., the service center had logged 30,000 calls, with 1,200 in the queue, and a four percent call-abandonment rate, with 150 customer service representatives manning the lines, he said earlier in the day.
"That we've had 5 million hits shows how incredible the response has been," Lee said at a kickoff rally Tuesday afternoon at Los Angeles' Union station, where dozens of signs in various languages encouraging people to sign up for health care were displayed around the courtyard. The rally included performances by Cal State Northridge's Taiko Drumming Ensemble, a Bollywood dance troupe and a performance by the Mariachi Divas.
As for glitches, Lee called those bumps on a road that would be resolved with time.
"We're going to get better every day, every week, every month," he added.
But earlier in the day, individuals were reporting on social media frustration with attempts at access, with one person, for example, tweeting she spent 33 minutes on the phone trying to get through, then gave up; and another reporting four or five failed attempts to access the website.
The exchange offers 12 health insurers, including the state's largest, such as Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente. Under the Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in 2010, uninsured Americans who are eligible must carry some form of health insurance by Jan. 1. California was one of the first states to create its own market exchange, which includes a variety of plans. In most states, enrollment continues through March 31. Those who fail to enroll on time face a federal tax penalty of $95.
In a number of other states throughout the country, including New York and Rhode Island, websites went down Tuesday morning as they were overwhelmed with public demand, while others weren't ready on time for the launch. The federal government's site — used for residents whose states don't have their own program — also reported long waits for access and other glitches in the face of overwhelming demand.
Officials launched Covered California at a service center Tuesday in Rancho Cordova, then held events in San Francisco, overlooking the Bay Bridge; at California State University, Fresno; in San Diego; then at L.A.'s Union Station, where both Lee and Mayor Eric Garcetti called Covered California's launch a success in the face of federal bickering and a government shutdown.
"While folks in Washington are playing politics, we're providing health care that is real for Californians," Lee said.
"Today marks the beginning of a new era of affordable health care coverage," Garcetti said. "On a day nationally when we see the price of inaction, we in California will not be held back. We are acting for the people of California."
At least 5.3 million people in the Golden State could be eligible for coverage and at least 2.6 million eligible uninsured may be eligible for tax subsidies to help pay for health care coverage. Those subsidies will be available for individuals earning up to $46,000 and for families with incomes of up to $94,200.
Those who qualify have been encouraged to go onto the Covered California site to view and compare costs under tiered policies known as the "precious metals plans." They include Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum — each providing different levels of out-of-pocket costs, based on income. The plans listed are for individual coverage.
By the end of the first open enrollment which continues until March 31, Covered California expects to have enrolled between 487,000 and 696,000 subsidy-eligible residents.
Ronnie Robles, a substitute teacher from West Covina who hasn't had health insurance for four years, stopped by at the rally at Union Station where a certified Covered California education specialist helped him navigate the policies.
Robles, 38, qualified for a tax subsidy and the Silver plan.
"I'm signing up as soon as I can," he said. "I broke my arm last year and I had to pay $2,000 out of my own pocket. I'm not going through that again."
Some of those who represent companies that have offered health plans on Covered California said they were encouraged by the response so far. In addition to Tuesday's kickoff, ad campaigns will begin rolling out on radio and television.
"I think what is happening and what will happen for the next few months is there will be a lot of shopping, a lot of looky-loos," said Dr. J. Mario Molina, whose father, Dr. C. David Molina, founded the Long Beach based Molina Health Care in 1980. The plan is one of 12 on the exchange.
Molina called Tuesday an historic moment.
"I think 20 years from now, people are going to ask each other, where were you when on Oct. 1?" he said.

BRADFORD Town goal-machine Sam Jordan hit another stunning milestone as normal service was resumed in Paul Shanley's side's Toolstation League First Division title charge.
Bradford suffered a shock last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by county rivals Devizes Town but striker Jordan hit a brace last night to take his tally for the season to a whopping 70 goals.
Tom Welch was also on target as Shanley's men put Almondsbury UWE to the sword.
If Warminster Town avoid defeat against seventh-placed Barnstaple Town this evening, Bradford's promotion to the Premier Division will be confirmed, whilst the Trowbridge Road outfit require just eight more points to secure the title.

I was flipping through the channels last night and on channel 722 lo and behold plays the Pacers being called by Slick and Mark. Just awesome.
I got there just in time to see Reggie throwing a temper tantrum on the floor like my 2 year old does when he can't have candy. I mean laying on his back, kicking his legs with his arms flailing. Hilarious. They called the foul Reggie, sheeesh. Late, but they called it.
At least I got to see my Pacers.

Unfortunately, Laura Rowe, Animal Care supervisor, said Saturday there didn't seem to be as much interest in these areas to get their cats neutered. So last week, they opened up the event.
Last year, 1,200 people signed up, with 800 cats neutered. This year, they had 450 people sign up. Rowe said there is generally a 25-30 percent no-show rate, which meant about 350 cats would likely be seen.
Peggy Bender, the community relations and education specialist for Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control, said they do these annual clinics to give people who typically can't afford to neuter their cats a chance to get it done. Donations from the public and occasional grants fund it. The hope is neutering will cut down on the number cats that are turned in every year, leading to a lower euthanasia rate.
Four area veterinarians donated their time to the project as did 70 volunteers.
Owners began arriving at around 7 a.m. Once the cats were checked in and verified to be male, they are looked over to make sure they can withstand the surgery. The cats are then sedated, the hair is removed from the surgical area by plucking, and then it's off to surgery.
The procedure takes only a few minutes, explained veterinarian Helga Beck, who had done close to 40 procedures by 9:45 a.m. Once the cats are out of surgery, they are taken to a recovery area where they receive an antibiotic.
Volunteers kept an eye on them as they come out of the anesthesia, stroking and massaging them. Most of the animals looked dazed and groggy; one feisty cat spit and hissed, trying to get away, as he suddenly came to.
Once the animals were safely awake, they were returned to their owners.
Bender said those who were unable to come to the one-day clinic can still visit the two low-cost, spay-and-neuter clinics in town, the Spay and Neuter Clinic, 1313 Broadway, and H.O.P.E. For Animals, 1333 Maycrest Drive.

KEEN photographers are being encouraged to get snapping as the clock ticks down for entries into a wildlife competition.
Conservation charity Worcestershire Wildlife Trust is looking for photographs that focus on the county's wildlife and wild places.
The winning entries will feature in the Trust's 2015 calendar.
"Last year was an absolutely bumper year for entries with over 350 photographs taken by more than 60 local photographers," said Wendy Carter, the Trust's communications manager.
"We're constantly impressed by the quality of the photographs and the range of subjects that are captured.
"Last year we saw everything from dragonflies to owls and wildflowers to rainbows."
The competition is open to everyone and the calendar will feature photographs that highlight the diversity of wildlife across Worcestershire, as well as the range of places that wildlife calls home.
"Worcestershire is such a great county; we've got beautiful countryside and some fabulous species of wildlife," said Ms Carter.
"Our nature reserves form part of this but most people enjoy watching wildlife in their gardens, villages, local parks and other green spaces.
"Wherever readers watch wildlife, we'd encourage them to keep a camera handy to make sure they capture the action.
"Many of last year's winners were either taken in gardens or by people who were just going about their normal business.
"It just goes to show how we can all do something in our own gardens to help wildlife and how wildlife is all around is if we just stop to look."
Staff at the Trust will be joined in judging the photos by the overall winner for the last two years, Jason Curtis.
The 12 winning photographs will feature as A4 images in the 2015 calendar, with one lucky photographer having their image on the front cover.
The closing date is Friday, April 11.

Watermelon cupcakes
I saw these Watermelon cupcakes in my Google Reader and I thought they were so cute. Like the perfect summery treat. We were going to a cookout last weekend and I immediately thought of these cupcakes. I wanted to be able to pipe the frosting, so I opted not to flavor them with watermelon. I also didn't think chocolate and watermelon really go together… So I guess mine are just watermelon look-alike cupcakes.
I made the same chocolate chip cupcakes that I made for the 4th of July, but this time I used mini chips and added some pink and red food coloring to the batter. For the frosting, I made my favorite buttercream. I actually made two shades of green that I wanted to swirl together. The swirling didn't go as planned, so really all you can see is dark green frosting, not the lighter lime green frosting. Everyone enjoyed the summery (looking) cupcakes.
Chocolate Chip cupcakes – adapted from Vanilla cupcakes from Crazy Delicious – original recipe from Martha Stewart – makes 24
1 3/4 cups cake flour, not self-rising
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips + 1 Tbsp flour (toss to coat chocolate chips)
Few drops pink and red food coloring
Mix the dry ingredients
Add butter
Whisk eggs, milk and vanilla
Add wet ingredients 1/3 at a time to the dry ingredients
Stir in food coloring and chocolate chips – be sure to coat the chips with flour so they don't all sink to the bottom while baking
Bake for 17-22 minutes at 325 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean
2 sticks butter
7 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk – I used whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Few drops green and yellow food coloring
Beat butter until creamy, scrape bowl
Add 5 cups of sifted powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, beat until combined. Add food coloring until desired color is reached.
Add more powdered sugar until you get to the consistency you want (not too stiff so that its hard to pipe)

How adorable!! So creative and I'm sure delicious too!
Those are SOOO cute!
Those may be the cutest cupcakes I've ever seen!
Oh my goodness! HOW CUTE! I seriously LOVe this idea! I'm so starring these to make! Thanks!
These are so adorable!!
Fabulous idea. I think your idea of the two shades of green was great too!
Cool! I love watermelon. These look like so much fun, kids would go crazy for these. 🙂
Beyond being probably the best looking summer cupcakes invented. I have to give props to the chef on the taste front as well. These were highly popular at said cookout and were demolished by all.
I love them! So creative!

Hey guys. I'm having a few issues that are relatively new (within the last 2 weeks). I believe them to be timing problems, but I'm not sure, grip is another possibility.
I'm getting anhyzer when I don't intend to, and even worse am getting rollers when I'm trying to throw anhyzers.
Any suggestions?

Photo Gallery: Tommy Smythe's Victorian Makeover
You'll love this reno by the HGTV star!
Mismatch cabinet colours to marry two styles.
Smythe chose white upper cabinets for a traditional feel, but then added a contemporary touch with grey lower cabinets. Brass detailing on the hood and hardware adds warmth to the spacious kitchen.
Add a fun element with one colourful chair.
To add a touch of whimsy, Smythe put a single red chair among black bentwood chairs in this dining area. The round table serves as a perfect spot for kids' games and crafts while dinner is being prepared.
Use a formal dining area for lounging instead.
"The kitchen is where everyone wants to be in any house," says Smythe. "In this one, the family can cook, eat, watch TV and talk to each other." The red tufted sofa ties in with the red accents in the kitchen and dining room.
Ground a graphic rug with solid accents.
Smythe combined Deco lighting with on-trend colours and patterns to update the classic lines of this room. Solid upholstery, including punchy orange pillows, makes the graphic rug stand out even more.
Combine classic and contemporary.
HGTV star and Toronto designer Tommy Smythe updated this Victorian living room with a bold rug and solid jewel tones. The long settee already belonged to the homeowners, so Smythe had it reupholstered, then topped with fun throw pillows in trendy hues. A classic klismos chair in bright orange complements an ornate Chippendale mirror. "Given free rein, this what you'll get from me:" he says. "Strong colours, bold gestures and traditional references."

Experiment with pattern.
For this main-floor bathroom and staircase, HGTV star and Toronto designer Tommy Smythe introduced a few fun elements to liven up the Victorian home. The powder room's fixtures, sconces and art are ultratraditional to offset the bold zigzag pattern painted on the walls. Project manager Jenny Dames actually blew up a scale of wallpaper she and Smythe liked, then hired a painter to bring it to life. Smythe also hung a series of convex mirrors in the stairwell instead of the usual family photographs. Mix and match vintage gold frames offer a eclectic look.

Easily update a room with trendy drapery.
Bold, on-trend drapes pop against neutral grasscloth wallpaper. The office has two desks, one of which is paired with a stately chair in cognac leather.
Pair glossy black walls with brass accents.
The black paint's glazed finish sets the walls aglow. A brass mirror, chandelier and pillow fabric infuse the dark space with warmth.
Use bookshelves for customized TV storage.
The backs of the shelves are covered in a neutral grasscloth wallpaper to balance the dark walls. Placing furniture in front of a bookcase creates a cosy, layered effect.
Play with pattern in a neutral room.
To add interest, Smythe combined grey patterns — a graphic charcoal rug, chevron bench, and duvet with Egyptian key pattern. A vintage glass light fixture also adds personality to the room.
Place doors to enhance symmetry and flow.
A series of paned doors showcases the principal bathroom like a jewel. The white, grey and charcoal palette is pretty yet polished.
Update an exterior with black accents.
A glossy-black painted front door and symmetrical iron planters dress up this Victorian home, designed by HGTV star and Toronto designer Tommy Smythe. An iron European-style awning adds drama, and the stone path and wide steps also offer a luxe touch.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- In yet another example of how discount stores are dominating the retail industry these days, Fred's Inc. reported strong earnings and sales growth for its fiscal fourth quarter. The company reported fourth-quarter net income of $8.6 million, or 22 cents per diluted share, a 49% increase over last year's reported net income of $5.8 million or 15 cents per diluted share. For the year ended Jan. 29, Fred's net income increased 25% to $29.6 million or 75 cents per diluted share compared with net income of $23.6 million or 59 cents per diluted share in the year-earlier period.
Fred's total sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 3% to $485.6 million from $473.1 million for the same period last year. Comparable-store sales for the quarter increased 2.3% compared with a decline of 0.9% for the fourth quarter last year. Fred's total sales for 2010 increased 3% to $1.842 billion from $1.788 billion for the same period last year. Comparable-store sales for 2010 increased 2.2% on top of an increase of 0.4% in 2009.
Commenting on the results, Bruce Efird, CEO, said, "We are pleased to report a strong finish to fiscal 2010, with earnings per share up 47% for the fourth quarter. These results, which helped push earnings per share up 27% for the year, reflect the hard work and dedication of our team and their successful execution of our updated strategies – all within the context of a challenging retail climate. Through their efforts, we made significant progress during 2010 in upgrading our stores, improving our merchandise selection, and strengthening our customer service levels, which in turn helped drive increased sales and higher customer traffic."
During 2010, Fred's opened 15 store and 21 pharmacy locations and closed 7 store and 15 pharmacy locations. The company also refreshed 196 stores with its new Core 5 elements.
In the first quarter of 2011, the company expects total sales to increase 2% to 4%. Comparable-store sales are expected to increase 1% to 3% versus an increase of 2.2% in the first quarter last year. Earnings per diluted share are forecasted to increase 14% to 24% to a range of 24 cents to 26 cents for the first quarter compared with earnings per share of 21 cents in the same period last year. Based on this outlook, the company expects total earnings per diluted share for 2011 to be in the range of 84 cents to 90 cents, representing an increase of 12% to 20% over last year.

McCune-Albright syndrome is a genetic disease that affects the bones and color (pigmentation) of the skin.
Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
McCune-Albright syndrome is caused by mutations in the GNAS1 gene. A small number, but not all, of the patient's cells contain this faulty gene (mosaicism).
This disease is not inherited.
The hallmark symptom of McCune-Albright syndrome is early puberty in girls. Menstrual periods may begin in early childhood, long before the breasts or pubic hair develop (which normally occur first). Puberty and menstrual bleeding may begin as early as 4 - 6 months in girls.
Early sexual development may also occur in boys, but not as often as in girls.
Other symptoms include:
A physical examination may show signs of:
Tests may show too much:
Other tests that may be done include:
Genetic testing is available for the GNAS1 gene.
There is no specific treatment for McCune-Albright syndrome. Drugs that block estrogen production, such as testolactone, have been tried with some success.
Adrenal abnormalities (such as Cushing syndrome) may be treated with surgery to remove the adrenal glands. Gigantism and pituitary adenoma will need to be treated with medicines that block hormone production, or with surgery.
Bone abnormalities (fibrous dysplasia) are sometimes removed with surgery.
Limit the number of x-rays taken of affected areas of the body.
Lifespan is relatively normal.
Call your health care provider if your child starts puberty early, or has other symptoms of McCune-Albright syndrome. Genetic counseling, and possibly genetic testing, may be recommended if the disease is diagnosed.

Delaware awarded $30m for beach restoration [video]
Six months and one day after Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the East Coast, Delaware leaders unveiled a multi-million dollar beach restoration project, funded entirely by the federal government.
Gov. Jack Markell, Delaware's Congressional Delegation and Dept. of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Secretary Collin O'Mara announced as much as $30 million in federal dollars has been secured to rebuild Delaware's beaches to pre-Sandy conditions.
"Because we are a low-lying state, extreme storms pose a real threat to us," said Gov. Markell, D-Del. "My thanks goes to our Congressional Delegation for securing the funding that's allowing us to restore damaged beaches and dunes and shore up our vulnerable areas so we can mitigate the potential impact of future storms."
"While Delaware did not have the severe damage that our neighbors to the north experienced, Delaware did see widespread flooding that caused damage to many of our homes and businesses," Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del, said.
A significant impact considering Delaware's coastal economy generates about $7 billion a year and supports 59-thousand jobs, according to a University of Delaware study released last year.
"It is important to keep investments in place that will protect our homes, businesses, and infrastructure from serious damage in the future," said Congressman John Carney, D-Del. "With Memorial Day fast approaching, I'm looking forward to another successful year at Delaware's beaches."
Under the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, almost two million cubic yards of sand will be pumped onto Delaware beaches, including a stretch of beach just north of the Indian River Inlet. Heavily damaged by Sandy, the beach and dune will be fully restored and maintained with a sand bypass system pumping sand from the south side of the inlet to the north side. The restoration is not only expected to protect the bridge, but also Route 1 from flooding and storm damage.
"The beach that will result from the nourishment job that we're announcing today will be much wider than it was pre-Sandy... It'll be a much more substantial dune so, not to say there's not a storm out in the future that could still breach those dunes, but it'll be much more resistant to storms," said Tony Pratt, DNREC's Administrator of Shoreline and Waterway Management.
The state had just completed beach nourishment projects last summer when Sandy hit a few months later. Many credit the project for preventing hundreds of millions of dollars of potential damage to Delware's coast.
"Storms and rising sea levels can cause severe erosion, and we have to remain vigilant in order to ensure we have the best possible protections in place," Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del, said. "As we saw when Superstorm Sandy hit in October, sound management and flood protection measures on our beaches prevented devastating damage, and now we have to be ready before the next storm hits."
State leaders say beach construction is expected to begin this summer.

Many nonprofits and schools rely heavily on the help of Retired Senior Volunteer Program individuals. And because of the geographic location of the Inland Valley, two RSVP programs successfully help throughout Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.
It's not a competition. There are plenty of volunteers and positions available to go around, but it can be a little bit confusing, especially since both are based right around the corner from each other in Claremont. Community Senior Services sponsors one group and the Visiting Nurses Association Hospice and Palliative Care of Southern California oversees the other.
"I really don't know how two RSVP groups formed so close to each other, but we are very active and have wonderful people who help wherever they can," said Maggie Plunkett, who has been helping the VNA RSVP group for the past six years.
She is retired from The Claremont Colleges, is an Avon representative and volunteers with RSVP at the Learning Ally in Upland (formerly called Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic). In her capacity with Avon, she recently conducted a fall showcase fundraiser that garnered about $1,100 for RSVP programs.
"This is not about me, but that is something we just did. It's a big fundraiser and we need it because the RSVP does so much in the community," said Plunkett, who became familiar with the organization years ago through Pat Henny, who retired as the RSVP director.
"Volunteerism is in my blood and if I can do something to help, I will. I saw how much fun these seniors were having with RSVP and the good work it does really appealed to me so when I retired, this is the first place I thought about."
Plunkett is far from being alone in her appreciation of RSVP. The West Valley chapter of the RSVP, the one overseen by VNA, recently honored more than 550 others who see the value of volunteerism working in their communities. The honorees received certificates of appreciation and commemorative pins from director Audrey McConville for their more than 170,000 hours of service for the past year.
All honorees' work was honored but Pat Rees received special attention. The Upland woman is the 2012 Volunteer of the Year. She helps with the American Cancer Society Thrift Store in Upland, in the RSVP office and serves as a RSVP Advisory Council member.
Eight individuals received Presidential Lifetime Service Awards from the White House. They are Joy Adkins, Sheryll Bush, Belva Green, Henry Horta, Ruby Mattingly, Evelyn Richmond, Margaret Robinson and Wilma Steeve.
Those donating more than 500 hours of service received the Presidential Gold Awards. They are Karen Allbee, Dorthy Alzen, Dwight Anderson, Virginia Ash, Ramona Brady, Delores Bump, Susan Burman, Curtiss Burnett, Sue Carpenter, Sharon Coenraad, Dolores Connelly, Elaine Creel, Betty Cullen, David Darrow, Marcia Dennis, Lucilee Diradoorian, William Dye, Theodore Eadie, Flo Elliott, Millie Endicott, Manuel Espinola, Don Ford, Roger Fowler, Susan Gentry, Michael Gephart, Jenny Gutierez, Rudolph Guzman, Walter Hawthorne, Loretta Higginbotham, Marcella Jarvinen, Tom Larson, Jane Haines Lee and Sharon Lepore. Others were Sheila Lewandowski, Maria Lieberman, Marie Linder, Gabriela Lipp, Pat Longuevan, Janette Lyons, Kathryn Magden, Celia Marin, Mary McGriff, Alexander Mendoza, Ruthie Morris, Lodeen Murphy, Paula Murquia, Raquel Navarro, Patricia Petty, Fayetta Pollitt, Linda Prizzi, Pat Rees, Patricia Rooney, Sharon Royce, Steven Scalf, Darlene Schneider, Travee Sether, Phyllis Smith, Thelma Smith, Wanda Steury, Rosita Perez Stevens, Patti Strauch, Lorraine Tenuta, Pam Tuttle, Nancy Upton, Ruth Van Scoy, Alma Visser, Arlene Weaver and Cynthia Weber.
Anniversaries were noted. Virginia Valladolid has volunteered for 30 years, Viola Buysman and Iris Logan for 20 years; and Leona Kobold for 15 years. Thirty-one volunteers have served for 10 years. They are Barbara Anderson, Richard Anderson, Chris Barnes, Donald Bartee, Jane Campbell, Lynn Christie, Dick Coleman, Mattie Coleman, Dee Copeland, William "Lloyd" Corbin, Patricia Costa, Norm Gadegaard, Lorraine Glaab, Frances Grove, Rose Holmes, Herbert Kerns, Jacqueline Leo, Marisa Lewis, Donna Maddox, Uvadina Mendez, Ann Moreno, Verna Murphy, Charles Papenfus, Geraldine Papenfus, Hilda Katz Phillips, Lillie Ritcherson, Gwen Rodman, Donna Ruehlen, Isabell Stoffers, Freda Thorne and Ermal Wallgren.
And 40 were recognized for their five years of volunteering. They are Louise Adams, Lydia Alcaraz, Karen Allbee, Raymond Breaux, Janice Buttress, Sharron Carver-Weeks, Mernetta Castro, George Cerisara, Shirley Cheney, Dolores Connelly, Janice Daily, Don Dupree, Peggy Falconer, Helen Fisher, Jean Fouse, Chiyoko Fujimoto, Lupe Garcia, Carol Gardner, Annamarie Joan Geist, Ilene Golding, Mary "Terri" Harris, Lorrie Huckabay, Letty Ingram, Priscilla Ivory, Guido Jacob, Elmer Judkins, Sheila Keeling, Penny Kline Kathryn Magden, Celia Marin, Jean Masingale, Luis Olagues, Carol Oldenkamp, Dominic Polimeni, Rhonda Quinn, Theresa Schofer, Betty Singleterry, Emil Trimillos, Lou Ventura, Nancy Villeneuve and Rueben Weeks.
RSVP volunteers help at more than 60 different sites including schools, senior centers, hospitals and museums. For more information about the program, call 909-482-0355.

Welcome to My Personal Page
I don't believe our genes should be our destiny, and that's why I am fundraising for the 2017 Ride for Heart on June 4th. Your donation will push forward life-saving research like this and more and fund incredible breakthroughs to create more survivors of heart disease and stroke!
It was always apparent that family history played a role in our risk factors for heart disease and stroke. But despite significant advances, we only know 20-30% of the genes involved.
With the right funding, doctors predict they could unlock the genetic puzzle behind cardiovascular disease within as little as 5 years.
Please help me with my fundraising goal and make a donation today.
Thank you!

Situational ethics are called for when deciding what to do about hotel rules and other guests.
Dear Miriam,
On a recent vacation, I stayed in a nice hotel with an indoor pool and took my young daughter swimming. The signs around the pool clearly stated that children were to be accompanied by an adult and that no food or drink was allowed in the pool area. There was a group of kids there by themselves causing a huge ruckus, and also an older couple who brought glasses of wine into the water. I said something to the kids about being careful near my daughter but I didn't say anything to the older couple. If I was going to put myself in the role of enforcer, should I have said something to all of the offenders? Was there a better option than getting myself involved?
Pool Problems
Dear Pool,
The hotel management has put up signs to ensure that if someone gets hurt, the hotel won't be the one to be sued. Beyond that, as long as the guests are happy, they probably don't really care that much about what happens on the pool deck. But you, the guest, weren't happy! You could have called or walked down to the front desk to complain. The management may have kicked the offenders out of the pool area. They may have given you some free cookies. They weren't going to keep an employee there to enforce the rules, so the enforcement may have fallen back on you anyway. and it would have been an annoying errand down to the front desk in your bathing suit.
My guess is that the rowdy kids were a lot more disruptive to you and your child than the drinking adults. While kids will be kids, an older couple should know better than to flout clearly posted regulations. The real offender in the case of the kids was their parent or guardian who never should have allowed them to be there unsupervised, so it wouldn't have done you any good to reprimand the kids for being there. Rather, as it sounds like you did, it made sense to help the kids see the importance of acting in a way that was conducive to you and your daughter's safety.
You weren't reprimanding for the sake of being right or enforcing arbitrary regulations; you were looking out for your family. Had you said something to the older couple, it actually would have weakened your position with the kids because it would have seemed like you just wanted to be a stickler for the rules posted on the wall. I will say, though, that the idea of breakable glass near bare feet makes me pretty nervous; had it just been the older couple, I actually might have said something.
You were there to be on vacation, not to maintain any standards for the hotel's benefit. It was well within your rights as a guest to talk to the kids, but you don't owe anyone consistency in this situation. Even if you had an awkward encounter with the offenders at the waffle station the next morning, ultimately, you were all returning to your respective homes, never to see each other again. Your stance only needed to be as strong as necessary to get through your swim session.
Be well,
