TPWD News Release — Dec. 6, 2004
No Trolls Under This Bridge — A Hardeman County Game Warden responded to a tip recently about something "strange" under the river bridge there. The warden found six signs that had been stolen from nearby Copper Breaks State Park and about 30 pumpkins. The investigation continues.
Same Song, Second Verse — A Shelby County Game Warden apprehended three Orange residents hunting deer at night in the Sabine National Forest recently. Two of the violators had been dealt with by the warden in 2001 when they had killed a doe in closed season less then a mile from where they were caught this time. One of the violators repeatedly tried to convince the warden that they were not night hunting, until another suspect told him, "Shut up; he has dealt with people like us before." Cases are pending.
Never Steal From a Federal Agent — San Augustine County Game Wardens responded to a call from a local hunting club about trespassing and the theft of a firearm. The suspects entered the property by boat from the Sam Rayburn Reservoir. As the caller was checking a deer feeder, one of the suspects ran up, took the rifle from the caller's 4-wheeler and fled. The caller gave chase and was able to get the ID number from the suspect's boat. After several phone calls, the suspects were arrested as they left work in Beaumont some time later. They gave written statements and the location of the rifle and were charged with criminal trespass and theft. Thanks to the members of the hunting club, who happen to be DEA and FBI agents, for their help. Cases are pending.
Sounds Like Nature — A Briscoe County Game Warden was patrolling recently and located a Sandhill Crane hunter. As the warden approached the area the person was hunting, a group of cranes were coming into the person's decoys. The warden did not want to disturb the hunt, so he drove down the road to observe. The person then called the warden on his cell phone and asked if he needed something. The warden responded that he was going to check him once the cranes passed. As they were talking, the warden noticed that the cranes had passed, but he could still hear a large group of cranes via the phone. The warden asked the person if some of the cranes were on the ground near him, and the subject said no. The warden then asked the subject if he was using an electronic call, and the subject said yes. Case is pending for the use of an illegal electronic call.
VFW Honors Game Warden — Sutton County Game Warden Will Allison was presented a Life Saving Award from the District Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, on behalf of the National Commander of the VFW. The award honored Allison for his heroic action in saving the life of a Brady resident whose truck had been washed off the road during a flash flood situation in September 2004.
Herb'Ivore Hunter — Freestone County Game Wardens checked a suspect recently who was leaving a deer camp. The person did not have his hunting license with him so they returned to the camp. After being confronted about his extreme nervousness, the person handed over a bag or marijuana. A search of the camp revealed more marijuana and a bag of cocaine. The suspect was already on probation for distribution of marijuana. His probation officer's business card was found in the same container as the cocaine. Cases are pending.
Need Your Help Catching a Poacher — Limestone County Game Warden Kurt Slaughter needs help in locating a set of horns. A 12 or more point whitetail buck was killed during Nov. 9-10 in Leon County. The buck was a mature deer and supported heavy horns. The buck can be easily identified by the five points on the G-1's. The right bow tine has three points and the left bow tine is split into two points. The G-1's are approximately six inches long. Someone killed the buck in a High Fence Ranch, scaled the fence, and recovered the head. The rest of the carcass of the deer was left behind. If you have any information about this crime, please call Game Warden Dwight Myers at (903) 922-2774.
Don't Mess With Troopers — Motley and Lamb County Game Wardens apprehended three individuals who were hunting without the landowner's consent. The three decided to hunt property leased to the local Department of Public Safety trooper who called the wardens. Charges are pending.
I Confess — Van Zandt County Game Wardens were visiting the Justice of the Peace in Ben Wheeler when the wardens noted a large metal bowl covered in blood in the front yard at a house next door. The wardens visited with the occupant of the home who stated he had helped a friend clean a deer. When asked if he had killed a deer, the man replied, "I can't hunt anymore because I'm a felon!" When asked the name of his friend, the man became confused and stated, "I knew this was going to happen." The man went on to confess to killing three deer on opening day. A 4-point and two 8-point antlers were seized along with one rifle. Cases are pending.
Setting the Wrong Example — Again! — A Rusk County Game Warden was flagged down by a deer hunter while checking camps recently. The hunter advised that he and his hunting companions had been heavily peppered by some duck hunters during their morning hunt. The hunter believed the duck hunters were trespassing. Later that evening, the warden patrolled the area where the duck hunters had been and discovered the hunters had returned for an evening hunt, continuing until 20 minutes after sunset to kill three wood ducks. Three adult males and three juvenile males (ages 14, 13 and 6) were apprehended. Two of the three adults were filed on last year for hunting migratory birds after legal shooting hours on Lake Striker in the same county, by the same game warden, and under the same judge. The landowner signed criminal trespass affidavits against the adults. Five shotguns were seized and six cases are pending. The judge offered the defendants a choice: $250 per offense and the forfeiture of their shotguns to the state or $500 per offense with the return of their weapons. Cases are pending.
Here Comes the Judge — A Dewitt County Game Warden responded to a call concerning shots fired from a public road in a subdivision. He tracked down two suspects who confessed to shooting a hog. Three cases were filed against the suspects. It turns out the two men shot the hog in front of the house of the judge who will handle their cases.
Bulldozer Hate Crime — Grayson and Denton County Game Wardens, along with a federal agent, investigated a criminal mischief incident that occurred at the Hagerman Refuge, where equipment had been damaged. After a series of interviews, two young men living next to the refuge gave statements admitting to the crime. More than $2,000 in damage was done to a bulldozer with an axe.
Once Expensive Brew — A Howard County Game Warden was patrolling a ranch that bordered a rural road in Andrews County when a group of motorcyclists stopped on the shoulder of the road and began drinking beer. One of the riders tossed his empty can in the ditch. The warden approached the men and issued a citation for littering to the one who tossed the can. A records check revealed an outstanding warrant for the person for criminal mischief in Ector County. During the trip to jail in Andrews, the suspect stated that it was just not right that game wardens drove green pickups. He said he thought they should drive black and white vehicles with light bars like the Department of Public safety troopers.
Breaking All the Rules — Hardeman and Mason County Game Wardens met in Potter County to patrol opening weekend of deer season on the Canadian River by horseback. The horse patrol apprehended one suspect who had killed a white-tailed buck and had tagged it with a mule deer tag. The suspect also failed to cut the dates out and didn't log the kill on his license. While one warden was issuing a citation, the other two wardens backtracked where the deer had been dragged. It turned out to have been taken from private property. The suspect claimed to have shot it on public property and advised that it had run and jumped the fence. All of the evidence found indicated otherwise, and the suspect finally gave a statement indicating it was on private property. Wardens said being on horseback helps them patrol more dense areas.
Above and Beyond the Call — A Williamson County Warden responded to a call for assistance from the area Sheriff's Office to rescue residents in a trailer park along the San Gabriel River in the recent floods that affected east and central Texas. The waters had risen out of the banks and immediately flooded the access to the park. One resident was very appreciative of the warden retrieving the victim's wife's heart medication and another was grateful for the assistance of moving some family heirlooms out of the flooded trailer by boat.
"Catch Me If You Can" — Walker and Brazos County Game Wardens teamed up to work in an area where the wardens had received information about baiting and hunting late for ducks. The wardens walked into the area and heard a volley of shotgun shots, then the sound of a four-wheeler. As contact was made, it was clear that the area had been baited for ducks and the suspects had unplugged guns and were hunting late. Two of the hunters had been known to say, "We can't get caught. The wardens aren't that good." A total of seven citations were issued, and three wood duck drakes, three shotguns and a 50-pound bag of corn were seized. One of the hunters begged the wardens not to tell anyone that they had been caught. Cases are pending.
Experience Is Not Always the Best Teacher — A Montgomery County Game Warden and a U.S. Forest Service official were patrolling in the Sam Houston National Forest recently and came across two hunters and one had received five citations last year from the same officers. Apparently he did not learn his lesson. The hunting group had entered the forest by boat and taken an 8-point buck. Once the investigators rounded up all the hunters and completed their investigation, the violations included: one for no public hunting lands permit, four for hunting on A Wildlife Management Area without wearing hunter orange, one for hunting on a WMA with buckshot, one for no hunting license, three for no hunter education, two for hunting from a permanent stand on a WMA, one for expired boat registration, one for failure to transfer the title of a boat, one for giving false information, and one for possession of marijuana. Cases are pending.

SECAUCUS, N.J. -- The Children's Place Retail Stores announced that Susan Riley, EVP finance and administration, is leaving the company. The company said it will eliminate the position of EVP finance and administration and has begun a search for a CFO.
John Taylor, VP finance, will assume the position of interim principal financial dfficer and Bernard McCracken, VP controller, will assume the position of interim principal accounting officer.
Jane Elfers, president and CEO, said, "On behalf of the board of directors and senior management, I want to thank Sue for her many contributions to The Children's Place. She has been very supportive during my transition to The Children's Place and has helped to position the company for long-term success. We wish her well in her future endeavors."
Riley joined The Children's Place in March 2006 from her previous role as CFO of Klinger Advanced Aesthetics. Prior to that, she served as SVP, CFO of Abercrombie & Fitch.
Riley was originally slated to replace then CFO Hiten Patel upon his departure. Then in December 2007 Richard Paradise, SVP finance was named CFO and principal accounting officer, reporting directly to Riley, only to announce his retirement less than a year later.
The shuffling of executives in Children's Place appears to have taken its toll on the company's financial performance. The company lowered its guidance for fiscal 2010 following a less-than-stellar third-quarter performance. The company said in November 2010 that it projects earnings per diluted share from continuing operations will be in the range of $2.78 to $2.83 for fiscal 2010, down from its previous guidance of $3.08 to $3.18.
The company is expected to report fourth quarter results on March 9. In November 2010, the company said it expects earnings per diluted share for the quarter to be in the range of 98 cents to $1.03.

I actually really like Sandler as a dramatic actor (Punch Drunk Love and to a lesser but still effective degree Funny People) but I don't generally like his comedic stylings.
Oh and everyone should seek out The Red Riding Trilogy. I especially think UB would like it as it is sort of a British Zodiac, more focused on the characters investigating terrible things but with a lot of style and a great sense of dread permeating the whole series.
Is it s series of movies - or just one movie - or more of a TV miniseries
It aired in England on TV, but really they are 3 feature length films. I know you could see them in theatres here as one long 5 hour thing with two intermissions but I don't know if it's still out. I watched it on the Netflix instant watch and I know the dvd/blu ray is available on amazon.
Also decided to check out another movie with Andrew Garfield (Eduardo from The Social Network, and the reporter from Red Riding 1974), Boy A.
It's also quite good, looking forward to seeing him as the new Spiderman.
Harry Potter 7.0
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who's watched the movies but not read the books. I've read a couple reviewers say they could follow along, but personally I would think I'd be pretty confused. All in all I think they did an okay job at least giving lip service to the many, many crucial plot points dropped from other adaptations, but I still can't believe they didn't say anything about the mirror. Harry's just got this piece of jagged glass he yells "Help!" into. Weak. And there's no doubt the movie suffers from the split. It was the best place for it, but that doesn't make it a good place. Reminds me of Kill Bill, half a story is still half a story.
That said, there were some changes I really enjoyed.Spoiler:

Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
I will not be seeing Harry Potter.
But I did see two very good movies over the weekend
127 Hours - True story about a guy who gets stuck in a canyon. Peter Boyle is the director (director of Slumdog Millionaire) James Franco is the actor who plays the real life guy who gets stuck. Franco does an Oscar worthy job of acting and the movie while not always a pleasant experience throughout in the end it is very life affirming, makes you appreciate just being alive, and makes you realize how important it is to tell people were you are going. Makes you appreciate family and good friends. The movie sticks with you for several days.
Unstoppable Denzel Washington - this movie was also very good. It is rather exciting, it grabs your attention and I was riveted throughout. Sure there were a few, no way could that happen, moments - but it was very entertaining. From scene to scene it was more entertaining than 127 Hours but as soon as it is over you forget all about it.
Is there a reason why you won't watch HP7??
I went and saw it Sat. afternoon, and 5mins into it I thought it was the best HP film, by far.
Obviously there were some differences, and confusing parts if you hadn't read the books, but that's the fault of the directors in the previous movies. So many important details were left out from the first 6, and really from the 4th one on, that it would be impossible to cover everything.
But I thought Yates did a fantastic job of actually following the book.

I saw the one that came out summer of '09. It got good reviews, and most people really liked it (not suggesting all). I was bored - the movie was too long.
There are probably 8 movies coming out before the end of the year that I would rather see. if it was this past summer (when very few good movies came out) I might be more likely to see it. But IMo this is the best time of the year when quality movies are released and the type of movies I really like, there is no reason for me to see HP.
Hufflepuff is the cup I thought and Ravenclaw is the diadem? Man, maybe I need to re-read it, but I think that was how it went.
I saw it on Saturday. It was very good I thought. Emma Watson is pretty hot.

Yeah, you're right about which is which. I'll blame it on my nasty sinus infection I got going on.
I thought Grown-Ups had a few laugh-out-loud moments, but it is standard Sandler.
However, I highly recommend Moon. Don't think it got much buzz when it came out on the big screen, but it's a fantastic movie. Not too much of a cerebral film, but it is one that will make you think.
No ****.
As for Hedwig...Spoiler:
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
Ah, yes I remember that sequence of events now. Also....awesome picture.
Wild Target
good hitman movie with a "British charm"
The Town - Seems like the front runner for Best Picture though I have yet to see Black Swan and King's Speech.
UB, I'd like to see your Oscar BP nominees (top ten) after the season is through.
Yeah there are several still to come out.
Of the movie I have seen
The Social Network
The Town
127 hours
The Kids are allright - somewhat of a darkhorse but with 10 best pic nominees
I've seen all those and I would rank them this way - Social network, The Town, 127 hours, The Kids are Allright.
Black Swan looks like it will be a contender.
I think of the movies that have been released so far, Social Network has to be the odds on favorite to win best picture
Looking forward to seeing The Fighter, How do I know,
I hadn't really given the Town much thought. I didn't realize it was so well thought of. Am I missing out?
The Pledge
It's difficult to say a whole lot about it without ruining the story but I highly recommend it because of the counter-genre aspect of it.
Edit Signature
I would be very suprised if it wasn't nominated as best picture - especially since 10 films are nominated now.
Here are the Gotham Independent Film Awards Noms -
Black Swan,
Blue Valentine
The Kids are Allright
Let me In
Winter's Bone - winner

Alice in Wonderland The Depp one. Pretty good once it got going.
The Kids Are All Right seems like it will score some acting nods, Annette Benning most obviously. Maybe original screenplay but I feel like it just came out way too long ago. I really liked it and think it has a decent shot at a nomination, like you said.
I was like you in thinking that The Social Network was the best movie of the year. In terms of acting, direction, effects, editing, writing I think it's perfect except for one major story element. (It has to do with a certain girl.) But then I saw the Town. Considering that there are no frontrunners and that the actors and producers can make a significant Oscar campaign push, I'd say it's the favorite at this point. Definitely in the top ten.
Here's what I would say are the top ten critics/judges will, at this point, choose: Social Network, Winter's Bone, 127 Hours, Toy Story 3, The King's Speech, Inception, True Grit, The Kids Are All Right, Black Swan, and Animal Kingdom in no particular order. Now, these aren't my favorites, which would have to include How to Train Your Dragon, I Love You Phillip Morris, Scott Pilgrim, and Four Lions.
Will try to see either of (or both) Black Swan and The Fighter soon. Who knows about the limited release ones...
I'll try to keep this running as we approach the end of the award season. Others, please chime in with your top/favorite movies of the year too!
here is a link to the Washington DC area film critics awards. The Social Network won. Also nominated: Black Swan, Inception, 127 Hours, Toy Story 3
last week i saw Brokeback Mountain
Rabbit Hole -It's been getting a lot of attention for Nicole Kidman's performance. She was very good, though not amazing. A very solid small indie-style drama about family and loss. Not detailed or original (too many dramatic tropes and cliches) enough to be considered great. Kidman (who does have issues with moving her face) probably gets a nomination; strong performance by Aaron Eckhart, who has a very outside side at a nod. Sort of recommended.

PALM COAST, Fla. - Flagler County deputies are investigating a robbery Thursday night of a St. Augustine man that occurred in the parking lot of a Palm Coast shopping center.
The victim, 28-year-old Scott Seltzer, told deputies that around 10:15 p.m. he was in the parking lot of the Staples Plaza when he was struck on the head and robbed. The thieves took his car keys, cellphone and several hundred dollars cash after striking him with what appeared to be clubs, according to the victim.
Seltzer was able to give deputies a description of two vehicles involved in the robbery. He said both vehicles fled the parking lot and appeared to be headed toward Interstate 95.
Seltzer told deputies that he was at the parking lot to meet a man who had sold him several video games earlier in the week at a McDonald's restaurant in Ormond Beach. He said he didn't know the man's name and met him after responding to an ad on Craigslist.
Seltzer said the man contacted him about 5 p.m. Thursday to ask if he was interested in purchasing more games, but this time his brother was selling them. The victim arranged to meet the man's brother at the McDonald's on Old Kings Road in Palm Coast at 9:15 p.m., but the brother then changed the location to the Staples parking lot.
The victim told deputies when he arrived, he parked a few spaces away from the man's vehicle. Seltzer said there was a woman inside the man's vehicle. He said while he was talking to the couple, two other people, another man and woman, exited a nearby vehicle with masks on their faces and came up behind him, taking his wallet, phone and cash.
Seltzer said the woman then struck him in the head with what he thought was a metal pipe.
Detectives said they're still talking with witnesses.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 888-277-TIPS (8477).

Iowa coalition: Proposed CAFO rules not strong enough
A coalition of environmental advocates say the Iowa Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) proposed rules covering concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) aren't stringent enough.
Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, the Iowa Sierra Club, and the Environmental Integrity Project say the proposed rule does not go far enough to ensure CAFOs will apply for and obtain a Clean Water Act permit, and will leave too much discretion to the DNR to determine which facilities need National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits.
A 2007 petition by CCI, Sierra Club, and EIP to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) led to a Work Plan Agreement leading up to the proposed rule.
At a minimum, the coalition partners said the DNR must amend the draft rules to reflect EPA's position that "CAFOs that have discharged in the past will discharge in the future, and are therefore expected to obtain a permit, unless the conditions that led to the discharge are fully remedied." Coalition members have requested DNR open a 60-day public comment period and hold at several locations in Iowa.
Minnesota Dairy Management Workshops set
Minnesota Milk Producers Association's 7th Annual Dairy Management Workshops will be held at two locations:

For the 500th time since reinstituting the death penalty in 1982, Texas executed an inmate last week.
Her name was Kimberly McCarthy, 52, who murdered her 71-year-old neighbor during a 1997 robbery.
Two other killings are said to have been linked to McCarthy, who became the third female in three years to be executed in this country.
According to The Associated Press, there have been more than 1,300 executions in the U.S. since the Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume in 1976. About 40 percent of the executions have been in Texas. Thirty-two states have approved capital punishment.
It's barbaric and tragically symbolic of our violent nation.
The eye-for-an-eye mentality that dates back to the beginning of civilization may be understandable on a personal level, but the death penalty hasn't proven to be a deterrent. And there is always the possibility of wrongful convictions in our imperfect justice system.
"Hundreds of people have been released from death row after being found innocent of the crime for which they were convicted," says the American Civil Liberties Union. "For others, serious doubts about their guilt didn't come to light until it was too late. We cannot risk executing even one innocent person."
The ACLU also cites concerns about poor legal counsel, faulty scientific evidence, racial bias and protection of the mentally ill.
"The American Civil Liberties Union believes the death penalty inherently violates the constitutional ban against cruel and unusual punishment and the guarantees of due process of law and of equal protection under the law," its website says. "Furthermore, we hold that the state should not arrogate unto itself the right to kill human beings -- especially when it kills with premeditation and ceremony, in the name of the law or in the name of its people, or when it does so in an arbitrary and discriminatory fashion."
Execution is an easier way out for those who commit capital crimes than life behind bars without the possibility of parole. It's also more expensive than the inevitably costly legal process associated with capital punishment.
State-sanctioned murder does little more than feed into our country's culture of violence.

Turkish Alumnus Revisits Campus
The Turkish state minister for foreign trade, Kursad Tuzmen, visited campus at the end of March, his first trip to Urbana since receiving an MS in 1991. Accompanied by a delegation from the Turkish Consulate General in Chicago, Tuzmen toured new campus buildings, including the Beckman Institute, and met with faculty and staff.
In an address that concluded his visit, Tuzmen said that his homeland is very little known in the US, something he hopes to change through a new strategy to boosting trade with six states, including Illinois. By increasing trade with Illinois, Georgia, New York, Florida, Texas, and California, Tuzmen and his staff hope to capitalize on Turkey's strategic geographic location spanning two continents.
In recent years, Turkey has been successful in significantly increasing its regional trade by recognizing that it needs to co-exist with its neighbors even when the foreign policies of both nations are at odds. "We took a political risk with this policy," he said. In addition to seeking increased trade with immediate neighbors, the country is hoping to enhance its sales through trade with slightly more distant markets in the EU and the former Soviet republics in the region.
Because of its central location, Tuzmen said that the country is home to numerous regional headquarters of large US firms including Microsoft, GE, and Coke. With the 16th largest economy in the world, Turkey is "not just a textile producer" he noted. Turkish companies also produce auto parts, ceramics, and small appliances and mine marble for export. Those production sectors are the focus for the foreign trade office he heads.
The most difficult part of his job, said Tuzmen, is dealing with Turkish unemployment rates in part created through currency adjustments and through upgrading factories. He cited tariffs with China as an example of a trade issue that is complicated by political realities.
He is proud of his investment in people, citing his higher education initiative that encourages government employees to seek advanced degrees. "We're upgrading through you," he said to the Turkish students attending his public lecture that attracted more than 75. "The U of I contributed a lot to my life and career," he observed. "You're at an excellent institution. You're lucky to be here."
After receiving his graduate degree in business in 1991, Tuzmen returned to Turkey and served as undersecretary of the treasury and foreign trade until he was appointed state minister of the environment in 2002. He was appointed to his current position in 2003. He is also the current president of the World Economic Processing Zones Association.

Girardi: Solarte's struggles may benefit rookie
TORONTO -- Kelly Johnson started at third base for the eighth time in the past 10 games Monday, as rookie Yangervis Solarte continues to struggle at the plate.
"[Johnson] has been swinging the bat pretty well, he's had some good at-bats the last week and a half, and we kind of went with it," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "But it doesn't mean it's always going to be like that."
Solarte had fallen into a deep slump after starting the season at a torrid pace. The 26-year-old entered Monday's series opener hittless in his last nine games, and batting .065 (2-for-31) in his last 10.
But the switch-hitter entered Monday's game to play defense late, and knocked an RBI single in his only at-bat in the Yankees' 8-3 loss.
Girardi said Solarte's struggles aren't concerning, and considering he's a rookie, having the experience of scuffling at the big league level can actually be beneficial.
"He's frustrated by it, but you have to keep it in perspective as a player, and understand that all good hitters go through it," Girardi said. "It's not the first time you've been through it, it's just at a different level and you'll come out of it if you keep putting in good at-bats."
Solarte's 30 RBIs are third among Major League rookies, trailing only the White Sox's Jose Abreu and the Astros' George Springer. The Venezuela native tore through the first two months of the season, hitting .299 with 26 RBIs and six homers through March-April and May.

Occupational therapy consistently ranks high as one of the top jobs.
Read recent news articles about occupational therapy.
Find out how occupational therapy helps people with polytraumatic injuries.
Why emerging? Seclusion and restraint practices in mental health settings result in approximately 150 deaths each year, with countless others being injured or traumatized.1 Restraint reduction is a part of the Trauma and Justice Initiative, which is one of eight strategic initiatives of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).2 The use of sensory rooms is one of the six core strategies to reduce the use of restraint and seclusion from the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors.3 The occupational therapy profession was one of the first to identify restraint reduction initiatives, including sensory approaches.
Get Involved! When she was a new graduate, Tina Champagne, OTD, OTR/L, started applying the use of sensory approaches in mental health because she had learned about it in her fieldwork. "I had an aha moment," she says. "I felt that there had to be far more that could be done to help clients self-organize, and I started to go to many sensory integration–related workshops trying to discover new ideas and tools." Champagne worked collaboratively with the staff and clients in her unit to tailor what she was learning to the specific needs of the individual.
The national initiative of restraint and seclusion reduction has brought more attention to sensory approaches and to occupational therapy practice. Practitioners who want to get involved should become well educated in trauma, attachment, sensory processing, and sensory integrations, says Champagne. "Sensory approaches are not all that mental health occupational therapy practitioners provide," she says. "But it has helped to create a leadership role for us, and many clients and caregivers report that [sensory] approaches are giving them hope and helping them and their families in their recovery."

I'm finally back from my weekend in Aachen, Germany. A weekend which consisted of 6 trains, 4 flights, 7 hours of layovers and NYC traffic. It was the evening in between it all that made it worth it. Let's jump back about 6 months. I was performing in Berlin at a very cool event and somewhere towards the end of my set I feel something in my ear. When I play live I'm actually not consciously thinking so much. I am on some sort of automatic haze with lyrics flying out of me and my arms and legs just doing what they do. When I felt something in my ear I noticed it but just kept on going. I mean it was only for a few seconds and after the violation stopped I could still hear so I kept on playing. After the show near the bar a giant punk rock type of guy comes up to me and starts up a conversation. I had a lot of trouble understanding what he was staying and he was aggressively holding me close to him. Soon I realized it wasn't that he wasn't speaking english he just wasn't making too much sense. Then I picked out a few words… "acid" "sorry" "finger" "during" "show" "ear" "sorry". I stopped him at that point and said loudly it's ok let's have a drink. While kind of disgusting the situation was pretty funny because I mean who the hell does something like that and then tells you he did it? Later that night or I guess morning he comes over again. He's far more coherent now and tells me his name is Michael and he wants to book me in Aachen. I brush it aside thinking he's not serious. Fast forward a few months and he finds me on Facebook and shows me some of the other bands he wants to book along side of me. They were all so interesting I was in. I love to play live. I really love to play live along other interesting band like acts. The other bands were all synthpunkish and weird so right up my alley. It's all set up for October. Hurricane Sandy hits NYC all flights are cancelled and I miss the show. My day job had me very busy the end of last year so I set a new date for January 19 knowing it would be cool to spend my Birthday (the 20th) and the release of my next album in Germany.
The club was packed. It's always important but I really didn't want to play and half full space on my 43rd birthday right? When I walked in Sid (Knothole) was performing. His live show is amazing. Check out the video I took of him above. He's got Eurorack modules, fluorescent light tubes, does vocals and sets up in the middle of the dance floor. To top it off the music is good. I got to spend some time with him after the show and well let's just say he's pretty out there. I felt in good company. So I take the stage, play new songs and absolutely enjoy myself. I did a few encore tracks and as I'm ending they take my mic the club gets quiet and Michael says some stuff in German and then I hear an acapella… "Happy Birthday to you… Happy birthday to you…" the club chimes in. So yeah the music stops and the club, mostly everyone in there sings me happy birthday. What can a guy say to that? Michael you can stick your finger in my ear anytime you want. Thanks for a night I will never forget and thanks for singing to me! To see the full set of photos: click here

Da er aus der Hardcore-Techno-Nische kommt, erinnern seine Tracks zwar immer noch stark an Produktionen dieser Art, doch sind sie Songs alltagstauglicher geworden. One Night in NYC ist eines seiner bekanntesten Stücke und führte im Jahr 1996 die deutschen Dance Charts an. Mit dabei war der Kollege David Heyer." – klenkes.de

Morning Es Trading
Thursday's Market Review
The Es opened Thursday's regular session roughly in line with where it went out on Wednesday, but as one would expect given the tape's currently weak tone, the early-morning optimism was immediately sold as the contract probed 1357/1357.50 (our primary area of interest for the session). I know I'm repeating myself by saying this, but until we have definitive evidence that a (yet to be determined) price has been reached where supply is being cut off, intraday participants must not give buyers the benefit of the doubt. Scalp to the long side all you want, but don't mistakenly assume a few upticks are indicative of a self-sustaining uptrend....796 more words left in this article.

Renegade Chef: TV dinners and the Great Depression
"TV-dinners and the Great Depression"
When I was a kid I thought "TV-dinners" were the greatest things ever invented. I don't know why. Today I consider such meals as punishment. "Prison-dinners" would probably have sold back then as well.
We lived in a low-tech world where the "haves" were astonished by the advent of color-television and the "have-nots" jumped at the chance to visit the "haves", if only for an hour—just long enough to watch the "Wonderful World of Disney" and maybe see the NBC peacock spread its plumes a time or two.
You see, I was a product of the Great Depression—that would be my mother. I must have been in my early teens before I finally learned the term had actually been applied to a significant historical event. But it didn't matter—the consequences were the same.
I grew up mesmerized by a black-and-white TV that sported one channel and went off the air at 10:30 p.m. with a loud blast of the National Anthem. I was also frugally raised in a world of homemade "everything", and on the rare occasion when I was treated to a frozen Banquet TV-dinner (I was a "have-not"—the "haves" ate Swanson's) I thought I was in heaven—especially if it came with a Coke. And for some reason I always had to eat my TV-dinner on one of those spindly, fold-out tray-stands placed just far enough from the television I wouldn't get cancer or have my eyes explode. Sometimes the dog knocked over the tray-stand and I ate "floor-dinner". The Great Depression taught us not to waste food, and since we all got pretty chubby, I guess we must have listened—though some of us got cancer from eating carpet fibers.
What is it with kids and their fascination with compartmentalized, freezer-burned food? It's all about the packaging. Take the tablespoon of corn, the chemical-tasting slice of turkey draped with a dollop of liquid sodium and the chocolate pudding, and put it on a regular dinner plate and just see what happens. About the same thing that happens when you place wholesome, delicious, homemade food on that same plate. Boring!
Frozen, packaged dinners take up an entire aisle—or more--at most large grocery stores. Banquet and Swanson's have survived, but the countless brands and selections available today seemed to have evolved as dramatically as crank-phones to i-Pods. In fact, I think I saw i-Pod-dinners in the frozen stacks just the other day—right next to the X-BOX 360-dinners.
Don't tell my kids, but I purchased a lifetime supply of 3-compartment foil containers long ago. I fill them up with wholesome, delicious, homemade food. They are healthier because of it. And I've saved a lot of money.
The following recipes make for a wonderful homemade TV-dinner. The fact the whole thing will be jazzed up with pan-seared turkey cutlets, corn pudding and a gooey chocolate brownie, is meaningless without the 3-compartment foil container.

I put it off, not wanting to deal with the hassle, but our experience with Kelbie was anything but that. I called on a Saturday, fully expecting to have to take time off of work for somebody to take a look at it. Mike was at our house within an hour of our call,he fixed any future leaks and the roof was completed in just a few days. He quoted us less than the competitor and gave a 20 year warranty compared to a five year warranty that was offered by another company. We are glad to have that task off our home improvement list."

VANCOUVER—Game 1 of Canucks-Sharks, a 3-1 San Jose win, took some heat for seeming boring and defensive, but it was interesting from a tactical perspective. Sharks coach Todd McLellan worked his bench well to match up his shutdown pair of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun against Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
The Sedin twins, some of the top puck-possession players in the league the last few seasons, were outshot 4-5 while on the ice Wednesday night. This is despite many opportunities starting at the offensive end of the ice. One of the keys coming into the series was whether or not the Canucks, when they held the last change, would be able to exploit the Sharks' third pairing of Brad Stuart and Scott Hannan.
As it turned out, Henrik Sedin played 13.2 of his 16.1 even strength minutes against Vlasic, who was targeted physically from the outset of the game but stuck to his assignment.
"As 'D' men, you can get the change any time the puck goes up the ice," McLellan said after the game. "(Vlasic and Braun) were prepared, they were sharp on the bench."
With the last change, the easiest way for a home coach to get a favorable matchup is to send his players out for a faceoff. On four occasions McLellan was forced to use Stuart and Hannan at San Jose's end of the ice. Three of those times, Vigneault countered with Henrik Sedin.
"There are certain matchups that we were looking for, but they're a good team and they sure changed on the fly," said Vigneault, who praised Hannan and Stuart for their experience and physicality and didn't tip his hand over which pairings he was trying to exploit.
McLellan did a fine job at working his bench to coincide Braun and Vlasic's deployments at the offensive end of the ice with those of Patrick Marleau, Logan Couture and Raffi Torres. There aren't a lot of weaknesses in the Sharks' lineup, but Joe Pavelski and Joe Thornton are the team's top two-way players and they were playing on the first and second lines.
McLellan was willing to trade off matching Thornton against the twins for Vlasic, and Vigneault is going to have to make an adjustment for Game 2, possibly forcing Henrik into a one-on-one with Thornton.
The addition of Derek Roy at the trade deadline and return of Ryan Kesler had supposedly given the Canucks three lines that can play in any situation, but their struggles to score playoff goals continued in Game 1—they have just 17 in their last 13 postseason games, dating back the 2011 Stanley Cup finals against the Bruins. Not coincidentally, they've won just four of those games. A performance like Wednesday's from the Sedins isn't likely to repeat itself, but the twins, along with usual wingers Alex Burrows and Zack Kassian, combined for just four shots in Game 1. Canucks Army counted just eight scoring chances by the Canucks and only five at even strength. The twins were on the ice for one of those.
So there will be lots to look for in the second game of the series, even if there weren't many goals and chances either way on Wednesday.
To the Canucks' credit, they are focusing their physical efforts on Vlasic. He was hit four times in the game, and twice by Vancouver's biggest boys in Dale Weise and Kassian. Laboring between whistles, Vlasic took a hard assignment and toughed it out, playing a team-high 23:51 and keeping the Sedins off the scoreboard.

AS people got to grips with the snow sweeping across the town, the animal kingdom has also been adjusting to the colder weather.
People weren't the only ones enjoying the arrival of the white stuff over the weekend, with animals at Cotswold Wildlife Park venturing out to explore their new surroundings.
The snow presented a whole range of problems for four-legged and feathered creatires.
Some inquisitive animals were enjoying their first glimpse of the snow while others from colder climates such as the wolverines and snowy owls were far more at home in the wintry weather.
At Cotswold Wildlife Park, measures have been put in place by staff to ensure its collection of animals are kept cosy amid dropping temperatures.
Primate keeper Hayley Rothwell said: "The snow is a welcome novelty for many of the species at the park, presenting new opportunities for investigation.
"All the keepers are working hard to keep all of our animals safe and warm.
It is tough going in the snow but it has to be done and as long as our animals are okay, we are happy.
"Most species stay inside where it is warm and dry, especially our primates and meerkats.
"Other species, like our wolverines and snowy owls love the snow."
Cotswold Wildlife Park is open every day except Christmas Day and for information to plan a visit go to their website at www.cotswoldwildlifepark.co.

The drought and heat of last summer taught Wisconsin dairy producers many important lessons. Among them were how to minimize cow stress and maximize cow comfort in extreme weather. Most producers modified rations and feeding schedules. Ventilation, sun screens and misters were put to the test. But how do herd managers know if their efforts were successful? AgSource products and DHI test day information provide a means to monitor production, udder health, and fresh cow management challenges during the summer heat, but only if test day intervals remain constant.
Although the summer heat has an immediate impact on production and udder health, the effect on reproduction does not show its full impact until nine months later. Analysis of AgSource DHI data demonstrates the importance of continuing to take milk samples and test cows on a regular basis during the summer months. The following graphs and data illustrate measurements from AgSource herds. Keep reading for more reasons to resist the urge to defer testing when temperatures climb.
Overall Production and Udder Health
Analysis of AgSource data (Figure 1) shows that average management level milk decreased from 82 lbs. in June to 78 lbs. in July with a slight rebound to 79 lbs. in August of 2012. Somatic Cell Count levels increased from 248,000 in June to 274,000 in July and 276,000 in August. Impacts on milk production were similar across all herd sizes, however SCC levels showed differences based on herd size. Herds with less the 100 cows saw an increase of 40,000 SCC, while herds with >1,000 cows showed an increase of 21,000 SCC. Increases in new Infection rates followed a similar pattern as overall SCC increases. Smaller herds increased from 11% to 15% while larger herds increased from 10% to 11%.
Impact on Fresh Cow Production and Udder Health
Cows that freshened between April and September 2012 showed decreased peak milk yields by as much as 5 lbs., compared to cows freshening in January and February. In addition to lower peak milk yields, cows that freshened in July, August and September had higher first test day SCC scores (286,000, 336,000 and 278,000 respectively), compared to cows freshening in May (255,000). Fresh cow new infections were up during the summer months, however increases were higher in smaller herds compared to large herds. Herds with less than 100 cows showed a fresh cow new infection rate of 16% in January which increased to 22% in July, while herds with greater than 1,000 cows increased from 11% to 14% respectively. Figure 2 shows the average milk production by lactation at 45 days after calving by month of calving and lactation. Figure 2 shows a significant decline in milk production at the same stage of lactation, depending on the month of calving.
Impact on reproduction
Because not all herds report breeding and pregnancy information, analysis was done on the number of cows that freshened from January through April 2013 and these numbers were then compared for the same herds against the prior year. Herds that did not participate in DHI during the full 16-month period and those with herd size deviating by more than 10% from the prior year were excluded. Although this is not an exact measure, due to herd size changes, it does provide some direction as to what herds are experiencing as far as calving patterns. Cows that calved in January would have been bred in April 2012, while cows calving in April 2013, would have been bred in July of 2012.
The above table shows that the number of herds with a negative change in number of cows calving grew compared to herds seeing a positive change. Cows bred in July and calving in April showed the greatest impact of the summer heat with the majority of herds seeing a decrease in number of calvings. Although multiple factors can contribute to this trend, reproductive performance during the hot summer months would have been a big factor.
Using AgSource services and products during the summer months
AgSource reports address the areas of herd management most impacted by summer heat: production, udder health and reproduction. Each of them monitors the effects of summer heat and the success of any changes made to improve cow comfort. The Fresh Cow Summary and Fresh Cow List provide information on cows freshened by month. This information will assist in evaluating fresh cow infection rates, dry cow cures, risk for ketosis and transition cow management. The Udder Health Summary provides detailed information about new infections and chronic infection rates. The Herd Summary can be used to monitor peak milk, and milk production by stage of lactation and lactation group.
To monitor early pregnancy losses and ensure cows are rebred as soon as possible, AgSource's Milk Pregnancy Test can be used as a confirmatory test to find out which cows lost their pregnancy. Call AgSource today at 608-845-1900 to learn more about which AgSource reports and services can help you manage your herd through the summer heat.

It's bewildering. It's infuriating.
But it probably isn't enough to slow down the California economy.
As gasoline prices in California started easing last week, experts said the historic spike will probably do little harm to the state's economic growth.
Even with motorists paying an extra 50 cents a gallon in the past week, fuel consumes a relatively small slice of the typical household budget. And as prices are starting to come down, the economic pain will be minimized.
"Probably it doesn't matter much," said Severin Borenstein, an energy economist at the University of California at Berkeley Haas School of Business.
Look at it this way: California uses around 40 million gallons a day, Borenstein said. That's a little more than one gallon for every man, woman and child. Even if prices stay where they are another 10 days, "that's not going to be earth-shattering," he said.
As it is, gas prices have begun inching downward, snapping a string of record highs that had brought prices at many Marin gas stations close to $5 a gallon.
Analysts said the decline was aided by the California Air Resources Board's decision to let refiners begin blending cheaper, winter-grade fuel earlier than usual. The agency, responding to a call for help from Gov. Jerry Brown, is trying to counteract a nearly perfect storm of refinery and pipeline glitches that sent prices shooting up.
Economists said there's no question the higher prices can squeeze the purses of some Californians — particularly those with lower incomes or longer commutes. But the overall California economy, which has been generating jobs in the past year faster than the U.S. average, shouldn't feel much of a pinch.
Economist James Hamilton of UC San Diego said the latest run-up is a far cry from, say, the huge price jumps that took place after Hurricane Katrina damaged numerous oil drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico.
Katrina's impact was nationwide, and it wasn't clear how long it would take to fix everything.
"This will be much shorter-lived," said Hamilton, who studies the economic impact of energy prices.
So why all the anxiety?
"It has that emotional impact, it's very visible," said Dennis Meyers, principal economist at the state Department of Finance. "It sort of gets that outsized attention."
In normal times, fuel takes up 5.4 percent of the average household budget, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's about the same as Americans spend on restaurants and slightly less than what they spend on recreation.
"In the grand scheme of the macro-economy, it's a relatively small share," Meyers said.
What's uncertain is how the recent run-up in prices will influence car-buying habits. Hamilton said Californians will likely continue what they've been doing for some time — looking for cars that provide good fuel economy.
"There is a long-term trend toward driving more fuel-efficient vehicles, and that's not going to change," Hamilton said.
Trying to capitalize on the price spikes in California, Honda announced it would give $3,000 worth of fuel to purchasers of its natural gas-powered 2012 Civics. The carmaker said natural gas is about $2 a gallon cheaper than conventional fuel.

What I cant figure out is how to see my Twitter Contacts Tweets in Hotmail.com. It clearly says, when I linked my Twitter account to my Outlook.com account that I would be able to see my Twitter contacts and their tweets. I can see my contacts just fine just not their tweets. Any luck with this?
So just to make it easy, which is impossible with Microsoft sometimes.
When using an Outlook.com email address in conjunction with the Outlook software, Outlook.com uses Categories to organize email. Outlook "the software" uses Categories to organize contacts. Outlook.com uses groups to organize contacts, but when you create a group in Outlook.com it creates a category for your contacts that shows up in list view of the Outlook software, but does not show up in the list of categories section. And when you create a category of contacts in the Outlook software, it does not create a corresponding "group" up at Outlook.com
This is one of the many messes that Microsoft should not have even LET, happen. I have never been able to get a satisfactory answer on this front. I love Outlook.com, I love using it in conjunction with the Outlook software, but my Category contacts have been rendered USELESS in the Outlook software. My fix is to use GROUPS at Outlook.com and ignore Categories for contacts in the Outlook software because those Categories do not sync over to other installations of Outlook on other computers. Got it? If anyone can tell me what I have described is not the way it is, I would love some input. I have spent hours on this, and I think I have it right.
As a new Outlook.com user, I have to say I'm really disappointed with Outlook.com's lack of proper threading in conversation view if I reply to a thread using Outlook 2010 in Win8 using the Outlook Connector plugin.
Ironically, my business account uses gmail as its server, and guess what?! WP8, Gmail.com, and Outlook 2010 all thread perfectly together! Google should use this incredible bug in an ad to counter scroogled.
Paul, do you experience this Outlook.com threading issue? Perhaps you don't use Outlook on the desktop...
Paul, I am unable to rename my Hotmail account. When I try to do so, I get the following error: "The email address associated with your Microsoft account can't be changed." A search took me to a Microsoft Answers forum where a Microsoft moderator acknowledged the issue (a small percentage of users were not seeing old e-mail) and said they are working on a fix. Unfortunately, it has been like this for several months now. I can't believe they are going live with this if it is not fully functional! I thought for sure this would be resolved if Outlook.com was being moved out of preview. I should have renamed it early on, but after reading one of your articles I decided to wait since I was getting a new Windows Phone and did not want to reset my phone. Have you heard anything about this from Microsoft?
Has Microsoft removed the block from renaming a Microsoft Account? This has been in place for 3months or more!
Renaming Accounts was suspended by Microsoft some 2 - 3 months ago. No word on when it will be enabled again. No official word, just this Answers forum Post.
I wish I could change my @live.com address to a @outlook.com address, but Microsoft removed the option and there's no info on when it'll come back.
I thought I knew how to do this. How do I pin Outlook.com to the Taskbar? I've tried from Start Menu and from web site but don't see an option.
Is there any news on being able to use aliases from something other than the web interface? I know it's not in WP8 but does it work from Windows Live Mail 2012 or Outlook 2013 yet?
I had to ditch my various aliases a couple of years ago because of these limitations so it's not something that I need now but it would be interesting to know if they've incorporated this pretty awesome feature to their other products yet.
I use email only via a browser.
I like Outlook email in many ways. It has a nice interface, I like the idea of aliases and the ability to rename is handy.
But it is still just email and after using Hotmail since the 90s and putting up with the incredibly low free storage and penny pinching I switched to Gmail for my primary email five or more years ago. I am not going back.
What seals the deal is that to log into Outlook.com I have to type the whole address, MS has even disabled right click paste, I have to go Ctrl C to paste it in.
In Gmail I just type my unique part of the email address and leave out gmail.com. I can even right click paste the address in. It is a small thing but a deal breaker for me as mail is just a commodity and I log in many times a day.
Maybe use a password manager to autofill the fields? Nothing is more convenient than zero-click login with LastPass.
Many sites, not just Outlook.com, will suppress copy-paste in the login fields. It is seen as a security measure. Whether it is truly more secure is up for debate, but I will agree that it is inconvenient.
Years ago I was one of the first to sign up for a premium MSN account. As such, the cost of $19.95/mo. was guaranteed for as long as I owned the account. Today, e-mail accounts can be obtained from various sources for $0.00. When I discovered you can name hotmail accounts as @Live.com, in lieu of @Hotmail.com, I thought about dumping my MSN account but abandoned the idea when I considered the fact that everyone I know is familiar with my MSN account.
So I contacted MSN about a year ago to inquire what options were available. After a few minutes, the rep. told me I could retain the MSN account for only $9.95/mo. – and retain all the perks I had for 19.95/mo. The MSN rep. seemed sharp and I had no reason not to believe him, but… I didn't believe him. It would be worth it to revisit this. $240/yr. for an e-mail account is obscene today.
Thanks for all of the info Paul. Last year, did you make reference to diminishing the advertising in the far right hand pane in outlook.com?
Getting a Plus account removes it entirely. Adding social networking connections removes it for email from those people you know who are on those networks.
Can you elaborate on this? Adding social networks (linking Twitter) correct? I've linked my Twitter account and still see advertisements. Yet when I did link my Twitter account it told me I would be able to see Tweets from contacts. I have yet to see one in outlook.com. Now they do show up in Windows 8 people under the "whats new" icon, but that's the only place I have been able to find them. It would be nice to have tweets there instead of advertising.
On Android, I switched from the Hotmail app to the Outlook.com app, but had trouble with some html emails and clicking links in some emails. Had to switch back to the Hotmail app.
My dad was just switched to Outlook.com from Hotmail. I was trying to figure out how I coudl create a distribution list or group wihtin People (contacts), for in Hotmail, he could pick from a list of all his contacts, but in Outlook.com he has to hit the To: address or contact list. Does this shortcut exist? I was lookign at categories, but do not see that this will solve the aforementioned desire? Use case, my dad forwards certain emails to a group of friends he has in People. How can I set up a group or DL to allow him to automate this manual process? Thanks in advance!
I'm setting up some Live domains to use Outlook.com for their mail. The lack of Distribution Lists or Forwarding Lists is a huge problem.
Now I can only hack around this by using Gmail or my ISP mail to create a forwarding address that will send mail to a group of people.
I've been moved from hotmail.com to outlook.com . In hotmail from my Junk Mail folder i could easily add email addresses to my contacts so that they stopped going to junk. How do you do this in outlook.com?
I need a way to setup a group email address like on google.com. For example, it is an email address like firstname.lastname@example.com and it forwards to other users in mydomain.com. I know you can set firstname.lastname@example.com as a user and then have it forward, but I really don't want to have to login to that account every 365 days just to keep it active. Does outlook.com have a groups capability like google mail?
I am trying to do something for which I can find no information. I have outlook.com set up correctly on my phone with contacts, calendars, etc., & it syncs fine with everything. However, I cannot find a way to import/sync/copy a Distribution File (Contact Group) into outlook.com from Outlook 2007. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Topic: Newly diagnosed and scared
Hi my name is Porter and I am a 34 year old mother to two beautiful wonderful kids 8 and 6. I am not quite sure what to say or how to start. Back in 2010 due to some abdominal pain I went in and started having tests done. I was diagnosed with a liver hemangioma at the time and they have been monitoring it for the last 3 years. During this time it has increasingly gotten bigger. Back in may I went to the ER for pain thinking my hemangioma had burst. They did a scan and told me to follow up with my GI to once again be sure it was indeed a hemangioma. Well after 2 biopsies first one came back benign with a diagnosis of a rare hemangioma called sclerosed hemangioma I was disgnosed last week with this bile duct cancer. At this time I don't know what stage and meet with an oncologist next week to receive my first pet scan and consultation. I was told by my liver specialist it cannot be removed or respected due to where it is placed and its enormous growth. My emotions are running like crazy. I don't know what to tell my children. Everything I research seems to read very from with poor prognosis. Most my blood work is normal having very little symptoms aside from some pain and otherwise healthy. I am learning to find my faith on this new journey and would like just a little ounce of hope as I feel scared and hopeless and afraid.

"They wouldn't complain if they didn't care." That was the response of my first editor when a reader questioned my opinion in a column. That was in Miami, the one in Oklahoma, not in Florida. Where the last syllable of the town's name is a "muh," not a "mee."
When I first climbed up the stairs into the Chiefland baseball bus, a familiar smell washed over me. It was the odor of sweaty socks, something most athletic buses take on as players shed shoes for a long road trip.
On this trip, we were headed to Jacksonville Providence for the Indians' regional semifinal game against the Stallions.
Never have I witnessed a player of Taylore Fuller's caliber. Perhaps Barry Bonds, but the only juice Taylore takes is orange, apple or grape.
In this week's print edition, we include a graphic called 'Taylore's Tally" that will update throughout the remainder of the season as she's challenging for the national lead for home runs hit by a high school softball player, as far as those who have submitted statistics to MaxPreps.com.
When anyone approaches a reporter and says, "I have a real problem with something you wrote," most of us instantly become defensive.
We pride ourselves on reporting fact. We stand behind every word. We aspire to report what we're told accurately, and succinctly.
So when a parent came to me "with a real problem" about a sentence in a story about Chiefland finalizing its 2011 football schedule, I instantly put up a wall, ready to tackle whatever was thrown my way.
Parents and players always ask me what they can do to attract college attention. I'm no expert. Anyone who calls themselves a recruiting expert is a joke because there is no exact science to recruiting.
For full disclosure, I've covered more than 400 Division I games, mostly football, baseball and men's basketball. I don't even want to begin to count the number of high school games.
From the moment I heard about this job, I've been hearing about Chiefland's Jamantye Thompson.
To check out the paper, I went where anybody else would look first, chieflandcitizen.com.
"Jumpin' Jamantye" was the first headline to catch my eye. Then another on Thompson, and another, and another. Perusing printed archives after getting the gig, and the senior tailback's pictures were plastered across the pages.
Readers will come to expect, and hopefully enjoy from time to time, a carnival of commentary in this space each week.
We'll hit a variety of topics, and it almost always will be local. Some weeks, it's tougher to zero in on one topic as there are several ideas running through my mind I believe are worth noting.
Like the coaches and players we try to follow, we also want to improve with each game.
We, too, want to make your sports section the absoulte best it can be from week to week.
This is why readers will begin noticing changes throughout the B section, beginning largely with this week's new elements such as the player feature on Chiefland's own Halie Hammond or the "Who Knows Best?" section at the bottom of the page.
OK, so I've been here at the paper for almost a month now and there are a handful of things I've learned in a short time.
For the record, even though I may have learned a few things, I still know next-to-nothing about Levy County. But I am trying to learn more every day.
What I've learned thus far:
This is my cry for help. This is my plea to you — the reader, the fan, the coach, the parent, the teacher, the administrator, the classmate, the grandma and even the players themselves— to take over ownership of this sports section.
This is YOUR newspaper about YOUR community, but are you getting everything you want? Are you seeing the best possible stories from the Levy County world of sports every week?

text: Pau and Chandler were both very key to those championships. In no way am I saying the best player on the team has to be a high pick. The fact is, if a team gets lucky and picks Kobe at 13...they may well have other talent to go with him and thus an advantage. But if the high pick is the stud, you have a chance to win every year (Duncan, MJ, Shaq, LeBron, etc.). Wonder how many rings those guys have...all picked very high. In fact, they just about have them all!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
