Students read poems, share their creativity with Starside families
Starside Elementary third-grader Zanab Khalid smiled as she started reading her poem, "Green is Happiness."
"Green is a fairy called Tinkerbell," she read. "Green is a hopping frog...a pretty flower... a flying butterfly."
Surrounded by her classmates, parents and teachers on cushions, Zanab read two of her poems. When finished, her audience cheered for her by snapping.
"I think poetry is fun, because you don't have to rhyme, you just write it and it's fun," she said.
For Starside's first poetry night, third-grade students and their parents enjoyed listening to student-created poetry, famous sonnets by other poets and De Soto High School guitarists Josh Adkins and Ross Brown. The high school students earned donations for their trip to Washington, D.C,. to perform in the National Memorial Day Parade at the end of May.
Third-grade teacher Sara Dilday said she got the idea for poetry night from one of her own teachers in elementary school.
"Last year, it was just my class," she said. "This year, we made it a class-wide thing to celebrate National Poetry Month."
Dilday said the students have been learning many different forms of poetry -- freeform, rhyming, haikus, bio poetry and even poems shaped like a diamond called diamante.
"I think the thing that comes through is their voice and their personality," she said. "Because there's not as many rules, they can be more creative with it."
Dilday said she was also pleased with the many parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles who came to listen to the students' poems.
"It's amazing what kids come up with when you just give them the opportunity to write," she said.
Tracey Stewart read her "acrostic" poem, which she said is also a bio-poem. With her name written across the top, each letter of her name forms a phrase in the poem about herself.
"Poems are fun because you can make up your own and it can be short or long," she said.
Tanner McDaniel said trying to rhyme poetry could sometimes be difficult. He said his favorite poems to write were haikus -- Japanese poems with only three lines that have five syllables in the first line, seven in the second and five in the third.
"My favorite ones to read are Shel Silverstein," McDaniel said. "He has a lot of good books with really funny poems."
Shalom Jackson, Kyser Leonard and Devon Freeman said their favorite part of poetry night was listening to the poems of other students.
"And, we get to snap for them," Shalom said.

LAHORE, Aug 7: The PML-N-led Punjab government is again appointing police officers having strong political background as district police officers (DPOs).
The latest example in this regard is of SSP Babar Bakht Qureshi who was posted as Okara DPO on Aug 6.
The post of Okara DPO has been filled 15 days after SP Raja Basharat Mehmood was removed over an inhuman act committed by Okara police in which a man and his son were forced to have sex with each other. The chief minister suspended the SP (investigation), SDPO, SHO and others in this case.
The incumbent government has appointed at least four DPOs with political background after winning the May 11 general election. DPOs of Mandi Bahauddin, Chakwal and Hafizabad too have political backgrounds and have worked on the same posts during the previous term of the PML-N government in Punjab.
Mr Qureshi, who has earlier served as Bahawalpur DPO and Lahore SSP (investigation), is the son of Anees Qureshi, who was recently elected MPA from Kasur.
A source at the Central Police Office confided to Dawn that serious attempts were made by police authorities to get chief minister's nod to appoint Mr Qureshi as Lahore SSP (investigation) recently, but he did not agree.
He said links from judiciary, chief minister's family and a Gujrat-based renowned shoe-manufacturer were used for his Lahore posting, but all efforts remained fruitless because of reservations about Mr Qureshi who is supposed to be a member of a specific police group and is not even in the good books of the Lahore DIG (investigation). The DIG too opposed his posting under his command, says the source.
The source said after police authorities failed to get him appointed, the chief minister appointed Mr Qureshi as DPO in the district bordering his home district. The source said the provincial government would also appoint
some field police officers with political background to please some politicians.
SSP Qureshi says he has no knowledge of any efforts made for his Lahore posting. He says he has been posted DPO by the government and not on the basis of his efforts. He says neither his written request for the post of SSP (investigation) was formally sent to the chief minister nor the DIG (investigation) expressed his unwillingness to accept him.
In a related development, the Punjab Police inspector general on Wednesday transferred and posted two senior police officers.
According to a handout, AIG (Discipline), Central Police Office Ahmad Arslan Malik was transferred and posted as AIG (Development), Central Police Office vice SSP Babar Bakht Qureshi. SP Raja Basharat Mehmood, who was awaiting posting, was transferred and posted as Punjab Counterterrorism Department SP against an existing vacancy.

In the past, most credit unions haven't offered loans via SBA programs, but that's changing as larger credit unions come on board.
Former U.S. Rep. Barney Frank and Sen. Christopher Dodd in first public appearance together since retiring.
Credit Union Times' recent report about a letter sent by NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz to the National Consumer Law Center and the Center for Responsible Lending led me to question the agency's priorities. I continue to be puzzled by why the NCUA, and especially Matz, expends so much energy...
Industry observers and executives with other processing companies predict that the recent supervisory letter on FIS security problems may have a limited impact on FIS' sales but will likely heighten the importance of security for all payments processors.
The NCUA has asked credit unions that process their debit and credit card transactions with FIS to evaluate their relationship with the card processor in light of an information technology supervisory letter the company has received from other federal financial regulators.
The members of the $193 million HAR-CO Federal Credit Union have voted to approve the credit union's change to a mutual bank charter, according to an announcement from the CU to its members. The credit union did not returned calls seeking comment on the vote.
In a dense, 23-page preliminary decision, Judge George H. Wu has handed out holiday cheer to former directors of Western Corporate Federal Credit Union, according to experts who have studied the decision distributed to involved parties on Monday.

A recent study conducted by Experian Marketing Services found that despite the fact that 72% of organizations see the value of their customers increasing over time, only half have a customer loyalty program in place. Businesses can tap into the powerful revenue stream of repeat customers by creating effective email campaigns that will empower customers to become vocal brand advocates and deliver a strong return on investment.
According to a new report from Experian Marketing Services that explores loyalty-based consumer trends, loyalty points and rewards programs are proven tools to help retain customers in a time when consumers are increasingly likely to stray from some of their favorite brands. When planning a rewards program, consider the fact that the most popular types of credit card affiliation among U.S. adults are those offering points. In fact, 18% of all card-holders today participate in a points program. Cash-back rewards are also popular with 16% of card-holders participating in at least one such program. Airline and hotel rewards affiliations are considerably less prevalent with just 6% and 2% of card-holders, respectively, participating in each reward program.
When planning a rewards program, consider the fact that the most popular types of credit card affiliation among U.S. adults are those offering points.
Once you determine the right program, email can play an important role in optimizing customer loyalty. By leveraging email to communicate with loyalty members, your business can benefit from extensive opportunities for enhanced customer relations and generate increased revenue.
Loyalty-focused campaigns can span the entire customer life cycle, from the initial entry to program renewal notifications and reminder messages. They also tend to perform better than standard promotional mailings in terms of customer response and revenue. In fact, compared to bulk campaigns, emails targeted to loyalty program members have 40% higher open rates, 22% higher click rates, and transaction rates and revenue per email that are 29% and 11% higher, respectively. Even mailings targeting prospects with an invitation to join a loyalty program tend to outperform the promotional mailings for the same businesses with a 28% lift in transaction rates and 25% higher revenue per email.

Howdy there,
I, Victor the Securitron, hereby request the title of chat moderator on this Fallout Wiki.
A Little About Me
All of you voting must know who I am by now. I've been an active participant on this wiki since my joining in May of 2011, except for an absence during the first half of the winter of 2011-2012, which was out of my control. Since my first day here I've tried to be kind, patient, and loving to my good friends here in this community, and welcoming to all new users, so long as they follow the basic rules of conduct. I'm not much of a mainspace editor (I have about 120 article edits as of this writing, more than double the chat moderator requirements), but when I do contribute, I like to think its meaningful. I also like to think that I have many friends on this wiki, and that I am a well respected user within the chat community.
But Vic, What Makes You Think You Can Be Chat Mod?
When I joined this wiki, the great team of admins took care of all the vandal problems we had. It of course ran smoothly. Then chat was introduced. I proudly say that I was on this wiki's chat since the day it was put up, and I know my way around the way it works. I remember when the very first chat mods were picked, and I was even used as a "target dummy" for PipMan to practice banning on, just so he could know what he was doing. I was more than willing to help the community along then, and I feel the same way now. Since the Vault moved, it feels as though there has been a power vacuum to me, even though there hasn't been. But I still feel that we are one chat moderator short at the least. Just before the time of writing, a user, a troll, came in chat and started posting irrelevant spam of a very offensive nature, and we had to put up with it for a good two or three minutes before a moderator was phoned and the troll was put in his place. I also fill a gap not covered by the other mods. I try to be active between 11pm GMT and 7am GMT, the tail of that is a time period not covered regularly by other users that have the power to put these trolls in their place. I think that this last gap needs to be covered as a precaution.
To those of you who say we have enough moderators and admins, I refer you to both the incident from before the time of writing, and a situation that stands out clearly in my memory. A certain user here, who was very well known for sockpuppetry and trolling, decided to visit us again the summer of 2011. He made it his task to vandalize as many pages as he could before being banned. But one user, at that time a regular editor, was willing and able to stand up to him and revert all the edits he made. I cannot remember how long it took in hours and minutes, but about 53 pages were vandalized before an admin coincidentally logged on and had the user banned. I don't want anything like that happening in the chat I call home, and the gap that exists, one I can help fill, is enough to convince me that it might. So I ask you, my friends and colleagues, will you help me cover this gap, and help stop the trolls?
In chat, I've been nicknamed the "chat bouncer". Even now, as a regular editor, when someone breaks a rule in an obvious manner I usually ask them to stop before the mods do (usually during fights that involve name calling or insults and spam), and I do my best to uphold the rules here. However, I would like the tools to really make my point clear that I won't tolerate rule breakers in the chat.

I am usually on chat from 11pm GMT to 7am or 8am GMT every day. There would be few limitations on these, because although I live in New Jersey, I'm one hell of a night owl when it comes to staying up. So you can expect me at those hours about every day. During school breaks you can see me on all day pretty much, starting around maybe 4 or 5pm GMT.
I, Yes-Man, hereby endorse Victor the Securitron to become a chat moderator
So, how about it?
- yes Vic is a great user. Makes good edits, and even wrote the Hopeville page himself. He's friendly and would be a great addition to the team. ToCxHawK 04:09, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes Victor the Securitron has indeed proven himself for moderator. His edits and contributions are appreciated by other members and always welcome, Which is why I would think he is worthy of becoming a moderator.--Nukalurk15 04:22, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes This is actually LONG overdue, and I can confirm Vic's hours as I see him in there almost every day. I approve this message :3 Good luck Vic! -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 04:18, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

- yes Vic is lucky, I barely choose a side...--The7thCourier 04:50, March 18, 2012 (UTC)The7thCourier
- yes The Old World Relics Vic knows all the rules and regulations, but more important knows how to properly apply them. He also continuously contributes to the wiki. I'd put complete faith in Vic as a Chat Mod.
- neutral Well obviously you would make a great chat mod but im still in two minds about it seeing as we pretty much have enough chat mods as it is, i need to think on this one im afraid.TheNemesisx 07:41, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes This is the one I have been waiting longest for, so you have my unconditional vote without hesitation. Φύλαξ [~μίλησε μου~] 12:03, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes right personality, level of maturity, and in a period that needs more mods. Agent c 13:12, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes Limmiegirl Talk! ♪
- yes He seems reasonable enough, is there quite often, and is a likeable guy.--Emiko~<3 17:49, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes -ΣΔLet's talk! 21:52, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- yes EBTalk
- no
I like you Vic, as an editor and a person, but I feel we have enough chat mods as it is. I think it's time we slow the influx of applications at this point. Pony of the East 02:57, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
- yes I've had a change of heart. We need more level-headed people such as yourself in these times. Pony of the East 02:09, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

- yes The Gunny
- yes Vic is great editor and has been around for ages both in and out of chat. I know he'd make a great chat mod Richie9999 22:59, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

- yes You know you've got my vote, Victor, now, if only I knew how to vote...LOL Nebenthe 20:08, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Notice that I added Yes-Man's endorsement myself. That was because he added his endorsement to my talk page earlier today for me to add here, and I used that instead of having him type something out himself. That should clear up any confusion as to why it may look like I may have falsified it. Victor the Insane Cowboy Robot
- Yeah, I wasn't sure when he was going to make the request so I just left the endorsement on his talk page to add it himself. It's all legitimate. 04:27, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
I think you'd make an excellent chatmod, Vic. Keep up the good work. Weirdowithcoffee 04:33, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Weirdo, the issue at hand isn't whether or not he'd make a good one (which I'm sure we all know he would), it's whether or not there is actually a NEED for another chat mod. It's a bit of a close call, but I've thought more about it these past few hours and I stand by what I said earlier about there being need for coverage in Vic's time slot. -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 07:57, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
Well, I might as well start off the war in the comments that happens on every application for everything in saying that I'm guessing that this is gonna be a close call. I just want everyone to know that my vote isn't a 'popularity vote'. I voted quickly because I knew the answer as soon as he told me he'd applied. Victor is fair, and generally (oh you know none of us are all that patient with people who tend to be annoying) patient when it comes to obnoxious people that are on the border of rulebreaking. I am on for about the last half of his chat time, and never have I seen Vic even come close to breaking a rule. Sometimes when I'm on at those hours, Vic (should this application and mine be approved) and I would be the only moderators in the chat, which seems great to me because I tend to get caught up in editing and I may miss something that happens and I'd have Vic to cover for me. Right now I can't think of anyone who would do a better job at this than Vic would. Good luck Nash, you truly deserve this. -- Bacon-Man Talk to me goose! 04:33, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
Vic, I know we discussed it last night, but could you please include your "regular hours" and any limitations, if any, on these. From what I recall your expected hours were more or less the same as Toci, I believe there is demand in this window, particularly toward the end, for a moderator after Toci. Agent c 13:10, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Done and done. Victor the Insane Cowboy Robot 17:43, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I have no doubt you'll make a good mod but you said your hours were from 11-7am. I had a look at about 7am then at about 7.30 to see if you were online but didn't see you there, also when I looked we had Toc and Scar in chat so it didn't seem like we needed another mod. Sorry for rambling, I haven't even asked the question yet :P I will support your request if I see you in chat in the morning. My question is: If Toc becomes a moderator, do you think there will still be a gap for you to fill? The Australian Kiwi 17:10, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
- I appreciate your concern about that. I've been rather rough time in my life as of late, so I haven't had as much time here as I would like. When things blow over I will be on more, no doubt. Also, Toc is just a patroller now, meaning he has no chat powers. every time slot should be manned by at least two people, and him being a mod would be one, I would be the other. Victor the Insane Cowboy Robot 22:21, March 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Good answer, you have my vote when you have more of an opportunity, just make sure you're in that slot mainly due to it being the weak spot at the moment. The Australian Kiwi 21:20, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
Congrats, you are now a chat mod. Please do good with it!--Kingclyde 04:05, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

One hundred million and six dollars at a $1 billion valuation is all in a day's work for Twitter.
The company added some more established names to its fifth round of financing including Morgan Stanley and T. Rowe Price, along with private equity fund Insight Venture Partners. Benchmark Capital, Spark Capital and Institutional Venture Partners topped up their investments, while Union Square Ventures and Charles River Ventures sat out.

Of course there's absolutely no reason to suspect Ms Scott's tragic death in New York this month could be connected to any seedy online Texas Hold 'Em or Five Card Stud game.
However a hurried NYC medical examiner's autopsy has ruled out any public inquest where such ludicrous claims could perhaps be heard.

Has Eddy Curry Followed The Yellow Brick Road?
Has Eddy Curry Followed the Yellow Brick Road?
By Donald Christopher
If you are wondering what all the excitement is about at Madison Square Garden lately, you could do worse than to look at Eddy Curry's improved stats for the month of December. The numbers being produced by the 24 year old New York Knick center have been nothing short of impressive. Due to such applauded production, he now averages almost 19 points and a little over 7 rebounds per game. Not to mention he's among the league leaders in field goal percentage at .574. These are the sort of numbers that were constantly seen during the Patrick Ewing and even Marcus Camby era, yet these numbers that have been noticeably missing ever since.
Eddy Curry is beginning to emerge as a force for the Knicks.
Now comes a potential-filled player in Curry who has finally began to produce in the manner that Knick fans looked forward to from the very moment he arrived in New York. And for a building filled with expensive ticket buyers then accustomed to, but now longing for a big man to put up big man numbers, it's quite easy to understand why there are plenty of cheers and high-fives in the air. Curry is even beginning to receive mention as a potential NBA All-Star.
Until proven otherwise, you will never find a Knick fan who believes the team can succeed without an outstanding frontcourt player. One who commands a double-team, because when there has been such a player, success has always followed. During its unexcused absence, eager fans were left to mercifully gather alongside the yellow brick road patiently awaiting a favor from the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Curry, an often-lackadaisical player whose heart has been the subject of many discussions, has now began to show signs of life and apparently, the courage needed to consistently lead his team as expected when Knicks President Isiah Thomas acquired the bulky 6' 11", 275 pound center from the Chicago Bulls in a trade last season. Although his numbers from a year ago were respectable, the consensus amongst everyone was those numbers being similar to the "finding of the glove," with the best yet to come.
Although the Knicks sport a roster filled with a fair share of young and talented players, it's Curry who has been annointed as the one player with the physical gifts to emerge as the franchise player many draft experts expected when he was the fourth overall player taken in the 2001 NBA Draft. Not that he was considered a bust in Chicago -- he showed promise on occasions, but for the most part, his learning process seemed to be largely stagnant due to what some perceived as a lack of passion. Occasionally, he played the game with a great sense of purpose, but for a high school player making the compelling jump to pro, it seemed to have taken the sometimes overweight Curry longer to adjust than others. Bulls coach Scott Skiles grew weary and frustrated at the lack of interest shown by his prized center. At one point, when asked by a reporter what Curry needed to do to improve his rebounding, Skiles replied sarcastically, "Jump."
In his final season with the Bulls, Curry averaged a careeer-high 16.1 points and 5.4 rebounds in 28.7 minutes per game in 63 games before an irregular heartbeat on March 30 sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Later, after refusing to submit to Predictive DNA Testing, as requested by Bulls management to assess whether he has a congenital heart condition, he was traded to the Knicks. Curry felt the test violated his privacy. He left Chicago holding career averages of 11.8 ppg and 4.9 rpg in 23.1 mpg, while shooting .529 from the floor and .671 from the free throw line.
I am not alone in my contempt for the Eddy Curry who plays the game of basketball as if he cannot wait for the season to end. Or as if he wonders whether he remembered to order the hand-tossed or the stuffed crust. Such uninspired play promotes feelings of labeling the enormously talented player simply as nothing more than a "bread eater." For a player with all the size and talent in the world needed to become a perennial NBA All-Star, he's been known for being wildly inconsistent while seemingly lacking spunk. A fact which drove many observers to openly question if the overly tattooed center had any heart. Well, his numbers of late seem to indicate that perhaps Curry has "eased on down the road." Always talented, he now plays the game as if there is, in fact, an animating force within.
So has Eddy Curry followed the Yellow Brick Road?
Considering his pre-NBA career consists of being named Parade Magazine's High School Player of the Year, Illinois' Mr. Basketball, and MVP honors at the McDonald's All-American game, it could very well be argued that the kid from Thornwood High School in Chicago, Illinois has always displayed heart. Then again, while growing up, Curry was so much bigger and stronger than most kids his age. That, of which, is hardly the case in the NBA. It has been said that the game of basketball is only 10% physical with the other 90% being mental. Perhaps after always being accustomed to a certain size advantage over his defender, he was confronted with the realization that the frontcount players he is now paired against are just as big and strong as him. And without the most vital organ, having all the size in the world doesn't make a difference.
This past summer, Curry worked under the tutelage of assistant coach Mark Aguirre who was a load himself on the low blocks during his illustrious NBA career. The results of which are now being witnessed.
While his numbers of late speak volumes, it still remains to be seen whether or not Curry has truly arrived and stands ready to place his stamp upon Knick fans who are eager to be signed, sealed and delivered. But the Curry-of-late has played in a way like never before; consistently leading his team in scoring, crashing the boards, and even blocking a few shots. Although improvements in his defense and shotblocking are desperately needed if he is to truly establish himself as not only the team's best player, but one of the league's best, he certainly has made welcomed strides towards simply giving fans reasons to believe that he can become the premiere go-to guy the team desperately needs. And who knows, he may even become the "next Greg Oden."
"When you combine hard work with talent, it pays off. The thing that I love that is happening with him is that it is not his contract year, so what you are seeing is real stuff." said head coach Thomas.
Lately, while watching Curry, I can now sense a heartbeat. In short, his presence on the court has been nothing short of dominant. The kind of frontcourt performances synomonous with the New York Knicks and Emerald City...er, Madison Square Garden.
Click your heels three times Knick fans...because truly, "There's no place like home."

Shot blocking will never be his thing. I would like to see him just clog the middle and make players think twice about driving to the basket.
That's called intimidation.
I think Frye will be more of a shot blocker, he has the wing span and jumping ability. It's something he should work on as well as Curry, who should work on his defense in the paint.

I think Frye will be more of a shot blocker, he has the wing span and jumping ability. It's something he should work on as well as Curry, who should work on his defense in the paint.
YEAA "intimidation" is what he needs, he needz to use that 280 poundz and make his presence known!...Block a couple of shotz, Foul somebody real hard lol (collinz)
Frye in the last game against the kingz, kind of reminded me of Kurt thomas, when he was on the knickz with the mid-range jumper by the foul line. Kurt would catch the ball and just just shoot that jumper by the foul line. "Kurt thomas in the game, (2 sec later) Kurt thomas with the foul" <--lolol

Posters, please stop with the use of the word retard.
That is unacceptable in our society now.
Plus there is no reason to make any negatives comments about another poster. Unless you have positive information or a suggestion for them leave it be.
I have been on way too many forums and have seen that type of thing get out of hand. It ruins it for everybody.
Let's make this place a positive mature forum for Knick fans. I have a feeling as the Knicks improve so will this forum's numbers. Don't chase away any potential members, please.

Good article. As everybody else said, he needs to improve shot blocking, rebounding and assists. I think he may be becoming a little bit of a ballhog, and thats not good. Sometimes he just throws up forced shots, if its not there pass it back out.

I don't think tose shots are forced as of the last 20 games. He goes to the line quite often now because those shot are called "aggression". The refs do reward him when he is aggressive, and somehow they see the laziness and call the quick fouls. I don't see him as a shot blocker. For one he doesn't leave the ground on defense at all. If he didn't have exceptional reboounders like Lee and Frye beside him, his 7 boards could be 10. He doesn't have to do it alone thats all.

Yeah, this kid has become a beast, but I think all of us fans have to give up on the hope of him becoming a major defensive presence, hes never going to become one, thats not his style. I love how Isiah Thomas has made this guy better, props to Zeke for that.

Ive seen him throw up some pretty bad shots, although not often. But what im saying is I dont think that sould ever happen. But for the most part when he gets the ball, expect some points or a defensive foul.

Curry has progressed very nicely, thank you.
Curry is working harder to get the ball and score more consistently. He exhibits desire more consistently. His shot selection and rebounding have gotten better. He has recently improved his free-throw percentage and passing. He gets into foul trouble less often.
His defence will also improve somewhat. But he will never be a great defensive player.
Mark Aguirre and Zeke are to be commended. Curry has become a dominant offensive force and he will improve even more in the next few years. But he is already one of the top centers in the NBA.

YA author Lauren Oliver has sold her first adult novel to HarperCollins' Ecco imprint. Rooms will be published in the fall of 2014.
Oliver is the 29-year-old author of Before I Fall, Delirium, Pandemonium and Liesl & Po. Fox 2000 Pictures already bought the rights to those first two books. Stephen Barbara of Foundry Literary + Media negotiated the deal with HarperCollins president Michael Morrison.
Ecco editorial director Lee Boudreaux will edit the novel, and described the book in the release: "Rooms was as instantly gripping as it was elegantly written, filled with characters and predicaments I still can't get out of my head a week later. When I look at what Lauren has already accomplished as a writer, I'm filled with equal parts awe and amazement." (Author photo via Jonathan Alpeyrie)

Of the Keizertimes
A new Silverton Health clinic is expected to be open at Inland Shores in Keizer by January.
Rick Cagen, president and CEO of Silverton Health, confirmed details with the Keizertimes on Wednesday. The day before, Cagen met with various Keizer officials.
"The meeting was incredible," Cagen said. "We've done these types of meetings a number of times. You go to the communities and see what the needs are. It was an absolutely incredibly warm feeling in that room (Tuesday), the way they were appreciative of us, offering to help in any way. It was an immediate feeling of partnership, that we were welcomed into the Keizer family."
Cagen said Stayton Construction is building the 10,000 square foot building, which will include services such as internal medicine, a lab, OB/GYN, primary care and rotating specialists.

Mumbai, Jan 7: Always aim high in life and proceed in the direction of realising your goals with total determination, said Reliance Industries Limited Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani in an e-mail interview to ''Chitralkha''.
''Firm determination and hard work is always rewarding,'' said Mr Ambani to one of the oldest Gujarati publications in the city. The ''Chitralekha''issue, that carries Mr Ambani's interview, hit the stands on January 5. Incidentally, the publication has named Mukesh Ambani as ''Chitralekha Person Of The Year 2007''. ''Chitralekha'' editor Bharat Ghelani today issued a press release carrying excerpts from the e-mail interview.
''I feel overwhelmed and humbled by the love and affection of readers of Chitralekha, which is a highly reputed magazine that mirrors the aspirations and intrinsic qualities of Gujaratis the world over,'' Mr Ambani said at the outset upon being chosen as Chitralekha Person Of The Year 2007.
Mr Ambani said his father, Dhirubhai, had been the source of his inspiration. ''My father had the vision to empower the common man's dreams with wings. To me he was not only my father, he was my Guru and a leader who showed and guided me in the right direction.'' About his Dream India, he said, ''I dream of the India that offers full scope and opportunities to people to realise their innovative creativity. It will be the country that will be the origin and source of knowledge for the rest of the world .... the country that becomes a role model.'' On his favourite book, Mr Ambani said he likes to read books on almost all subjects. Last year, I had read ''Execution: The Discipline Of Getting Things Done'' by Larry Bossidy and Ram Charan, he informed.
''I share my family's love and passion for the wildlife. I believe that when you sincerely decide to do something, you do get time to do it,'' he adds.

Observant viewers of Friday evening's Opening Ceremony telecast noticed something missing in a tribute to past games: Atlanta.
The apparent snub occurred during a film which kicked off the quirky, four-hour extravaganza, produced by British director Danny Boyle of "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Trainspotting" fame. So far there's been no official explanation as to why a montage featuring the logos of previous Olympics didn't include Atlanta.
ESPN notes that a famous Atlantan also was slighted during the telecast: "An entire tribute to the history of British pop music, right down to an East London rapper, and no mention of Elton John? Maybe he's been disowned because he lives in Atlanta now?"
And who could forget the snub by then-International Olympic Committee czar Juan Antonio Samaranch, who declared Atlanta's 1996 effort "most exceptional" during that year's Closing Ceremony? At previous games Samaranch, a former top official under Spain's fascist

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, with little sign of any post-holiday blues so far.
Instead, the markets are continuing their climb, as all major indices are up over 1% already today. That rally was helped by more solid news on the housing front: March home prices posted their biggest annual gain in seven years[1].
Still, the booming housing and stock markets — along with their subsequent and oft-cited wealth effects — seem to overshadow what is a very different story for lots of everyday American.
Namely, that we're in the middle of what remains a slow-and-steady climb out of the recession's pit.
The latest evidence of this reality? Summer travel plans.
The Associated Press described[2] this dichotomy the best, pointing out that "high rollers are flying to lavish hot spots for their vacations." The number of people buying more expensive international tickets is expected to climb 2.6% in the next few months, according to Airlines for America, while luxury hotels are filling nearly three-quarters of their rooms on average — higher than their pre-recession peak.
All in all, "Those with higher incomes never stopped traveling, but thanks to new highs in the stock market they now feel secure enough to take longer vacations," AP said.
But that's just a sliver of the story. Even this past long weekend came with a cloudy travel forecast[3]. AAA expected an overall decline in Memorial Day travel as more folks traveled by car — avoiding high-priced air travel to the tune of an 8% year-over-year decline. As a result, median spending for the holiday was slated to fall 6%.
Why should you care? Well, a few common culprits were to blame for those numbers … and they aren't going away anytime soon. Yes, the payroll tax, a 30-year low of working-age people in the workforce and what many see as an up-and-down economy are still taking their toll.
In fact, over 75% of Americans plan on taking a summer vacation, according to Orbitz[4], but only a quarter plan to spend over $2,500. Plus, while luxury hotels are booking fast, budget hotels are still below their 10-year occupancy average and more than 3 percentage points below their peak.
It might be tempting to assume that folks are upgrading from budget-priced locations, but data instead suggest that many travelers are finding even cheaper alternatives … or, worse, not getting a vacation at all.
As The Atlantic recently reported[5], the fact that "many low-wage employers, especially in retail, cut worker hours down just below the full-time mark in order to avoid paying out benefits" means that many Americans may not have days to take off for a vacation. Only 40% of part-time workers get paid vacation, and only 35% get paid holidays.
Plus, paid leave aside, those workers may not have the funds anyway. As InvestorPlace Editor Jeff Reeves recently noted[6], we are still saddled with persistently high unemployment and a lack of growth in skilled, well-paying jobs. He wrote:
In 2012, the job growth rate for restaurants hit a 17-year high[7]. You think that's because of booming consumer spending, or simply a massive influx of workers desperate for any kind of employment … even restaurant jobs at minimum wage or less if they are dependent on tips?
He posits that it's the latter — likely part of the reason that even those who take the time and spend the money are being extra-economical about it.
Heck, El Monte RV — one of the country's largest RV rental companies — says summer bookings from domestic customers are up 20% to 25% from last year. Hardly shocking considering such vacations eliminate the cost of a hotel and allow folks to save by cooking their own meals.
Reeves aptly summed it up by saying: "There's a reason why consumer spending remains weak and many investors are very leery about the state of the recovery." Now, summer travel's still-slow recovery is just more proof for the pile.
With that in mind, don't put your blinders on as you cheer the market higher. For many, the recovery is still moving at a snail's pace.

Two weeks ago we go to Romp n' Roll for open gym. It's great because there aren't a lot of options that keep a 10 month old and a 3 and 1/2 year old happy. We are busy running and jumping and playing with other children. And I'm putting our leaving off. And off. Because if you remember the last blog post I did on Romp n' Roll, well, leaving is not the best part.
I finally start the: In five minutes, E, we have to go.
E: No. (He says it with no attitude. No yelling. It's just a fact, Mama. And it probably is. If by no he means not unless you carry me out screaming.)
But the last family in the gym (I told you that I was pushing it) also decides it's time to leave. YEA! Now E is more interested in leaving (and N just wants to eat lunch) and we enter the lobby with our new best friends. E gets a stamp and puts on his shoes. He refuses his coat. (He's a Yankee at heart. The cold just makes us talk less which for me and E is quite a feat.) We hold the door for our new found friends and take hands and BLAMO!
The other mom says the worst thing she could say. We don't like this family anymore. We are not happy to have met them. I scorn them. Because she leans down to her daughter and says: Oh no, honey. We aren't going to the car. We are going to Target.
Target is right down the sidewalk from Romp n' Roll. GENIUS. It's like having the McDonald's next to the get-out-of-your-car car wash. Genius for everyone but me. I just want to go home.
And what does Target mean to E? Walking from SHINY JEWELRY to wearing SILLY SUNGLASSES to possibility of getting a SMALL TOY for no reason other than being MY SON. (We don't buy our kids toys often. Let me tell you that the toy choosing process is a post in and of itself. I'd rather walk out with a screaming preschooler. But us Yankees aren't known for our patience)
And in the blink of an eye, my son changes course from the white car, which will take us HOME, to the GIANT BOX OF FUN. Now let's note that we are currently 50 minutes late for lunch. N is VERY aware of this. And I have no stroller and no baby carrier. And I can only walk about ten steps holding nearly half my weight in children.
Off this other Romp n' Roll family goes leaving CHAOS IN THEIR WAKE.
Me: No E. We are going to the car.
E: Yes. We are going to Target.
Me: No, sir.
E: Yes sir!
Me: E G (that's his first and middle name) we are walking to the car.
And my little Gandhi sits. He doesn't fight or scream. He sits. He doesn't even let go of my hand. So one arm is pulled within a foot of the ground while the other arm is balancing 17 pounds on my opposite hip as N bangs her head into my shoulder looking for the breastaurant. My only saving grace is he chose to sit on the curb. Not in the middle of the road. Or in a puddle. Today.
So I take a DEEP BREATHE and say in my most calm and mothering voice: E. Please get up and walk to the car. You can wave goodbye to Target if you head to the car right now.
E (reluctantly): Ok.
I realize that I have channeled the great mothers that have come before me. I have WON! Without yelling! Without threatening! Without bribing with food or money or toys! And without crying (myself included)! VICTORY!
As we pile into the car, E gets edgy. His coat isn't zipped. Then he wants it off. Then zipped. I worry that VICTORY is sliding away. N's fussing has gone up a notch. But I offer them crackers. And I remind E about waving goodbye to Target and he bucks up.
I make a quick phone call as I'm pulling out. And dimly realize that I will not drive past Target if I want to get out of the parking lot in the direction of home. So I head towards the light while coordinating lunch with my husband when a SHRIEK from the back of the car drowns out even my 10 month old's fussing.
As I near the green light, I understand the grave mistake that I have made and I throw the phone into the passenger seat in a panic. You see, I have ruined the opportunity to wave goodbye to Target. Because we are no longer going to pass Target. And it's too late to turn around and N is crying and I try to point out the TINY TARGET from the main road but to no avail.
E yells: I DONT WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO TARGET
Me: Okay. (Hey, he doesn't ever have to speak to Target again. We are in the car heading home. VICTORY!)
But I am clearly no longer channeling the great mothers because for the next twenty minutes I am told through tears and anger: But I WANT TO SAY GOODBYE TO TARGET.
I explain why we cannot turn around. That we are all hungry (my fault). That Dada is meeting us at home. That there are no U-turns on the highway. But he continuously asks and demands to say goodbye to Target. His best friend, Target. Of whom he may never see again. (He seriously talks like that. No he doesn't.)
And for the next two weeks, at least twice a day, E asks: Can I say goodbye to Target? Often followed by the sniffles of mother-induced disappointment.
And I say: No sweetie. We are at home. We are at school. We are at the post office. We are at the library. We are with REAL PEOPLE.
I alternate between wanting to kick myself for not swinging by Target YET AGAIN to wave goodbye and for suggesting that we EVER personify a Big Box Store.
Yesterday, my husband needs to pick up something from Target. I grab S by the shoulders and look straight into his eyes. And I say: PLEASE remind E to wave goodbye to Target when you leave.
And for my sanity, S remembers. And E has not mentioned his BFF Target since. Or perhaps until I think that I have any sort of connection with the gods of motherhood.

Mayoral Evolution
With former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg's entry into the 2005 mayoral race, the odds of a competitive battle for the city's top political job have increased.
The combination of Hertzberg, former Police Chief Bernard Parks (considered extremely likely to run), state Sen. Richard Alarcón, and possibly L.A. City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa means that incumbent Mayor James K. Hahn may be forced into a runoff election. He would have to win more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary to avoid a runoff, a high bar with several strong candidates on the ballot.
Jewish voters will be crucial to the outcome. While white voters are declining as a percentage of the Los Angeles electorate, Jews are not. According to Los Angeles Times exit polls, in 1993, whites cast 72 percent of all votes, including 18 percent cast by Jews. In 2001, whites cast only 52 percent of all votes, including 18 percent cast by Jews. In other words, Jews are holding their share of the vote while non-Jewish whites are declining. The gap created by the decline of white non-Jewish voters is being filled by Latinos, whose share of the vote increased from 10 percent in 1993 to 22 percent in 2001.
The politics of the new Los Angeles make it harder than in the past to predict how Jews will vote. Los Angeles Jewish voters tend to be Democrats, and these days so are most mayoral candidates. When Los Angeles was a more conservative city, Jews were critical players in the rise of the Tom Bradley coalition. Bradley brought Democrats, liberals, minorities and Jews into city politics. He harvested awesome percentages of the Jewish vote. But Bradley's very success in building a progressive, biracial Democratic coalition in Los Angeles has meant that each of the mayoral candidates, all Democrats, can claim to inherit a piece of Bradley's mantle and thereby some Jewish support.
As the incumbent pro-labor mayor with a strong record on public safety, Hahn will get a positive hearing in the Jewish community. He won a majority of Jewish voters in the 2001 runoff election against Villaraigosa, after a middling performance among Jews in the primary. Overall, he did better among Valley Jews than on the Westside. But he will have competition for Jewish voters.
Hertzberg will benefit from his Valley base and from the tendency of Jewish voters, all other things being equal, to provide extra support for Jewish candidates. In both the 1993 and 2001 primary elections, Jewish candidates who did not make the runoff won significant Jewish support in the primaries. Alarcón and Parks will also appeal to Jewish voters by connecting their campaigns to the cross-racial alliances of the Bradley era. If Villaraigosa runs, he can challenge Hahn on the liberal Westside, looking for Jewish voters who backed him in 2001.
Because Jewish voters have so many strong candidates from whom to choose in the primary, including the mayor, the impact of the Jewish vote may be greater in a possible runoff election. The multileveled competition of mayoral candidates will then give way to a clear choice between two. For many Jewish voters, Bradley's coalition is a distant memory, and the final candidates will be unlikely to break down in the simple pattern of liberal vs. conservative that marked the Bradley years.
Candidates who wish to win Jewish votes will find an alert, connected community that is very concerned about such issues as ethics in government, public safety, racial harmony, and moderate progressive change. Valley Jews have many of these concerns but also vote on the issues that characterize Valley residents as whole — concerns about neighborhood development and land use, and a desire for a responsive city hall.
In 2001, we saw the first real post-Bradley election with new competing coalitions: Hahn's alliance of African Americans, moderate Jews, and white Republicans, and Villaraigosa's coalition of Latinos and liberal Jews. But Los Angeles politics is still evolving.
If there is a runoff, the final two candidates will be competing to create yet another Los Angeles coalition out of the now scattered pieces of the Los Angeles politics that characterized the Bradley years: African Americans, Jews, Republicans, Latinos, Asian Americans. Whoever can bind Jews to their coalition will have a great advantage in winning the race to the majority.

Mergers and acquisitions "will likely accelerate" this year and could involve Telus and Methanex becoming takeover candidates, says investment data firm Morningstar Inc.
Morningstar analysts have compiled a list of North American companies they believe are most vulnerable to being acquired, and although no Canadian firms were among its top 10 considered most likely to receive a buyout offer, they did say that both Telus and Methanex may be put into play as members of a wider group of 100 firms that could have attractions for leveraged buyouts or mergers.
In the view of Morningstar analysts, a combination of Telus and BCE "seems like a high probability over the next couple of years." The firm issued the call Thursday in a report titled "The Return of the Blockbuster Deal?"
Although rumours of a tie-up between Canada's two telephone giants were common a few years back, Morningstar believes one possible impetus to a revival of the chatter is that the companies already share a wireless network and Telus took a run at BCE when it was in play just before the 2008 financial panic.
"Who acquires whom is an open question, though Telus has sat out the recent acquisition wave in the Canadian media industry," Morningstar said. The biggest problem with a deal going through is that it may not be approved by regulators, it said.
Vancouver-based Methanex is the world's biggest producer of methanol, a key chemical ingredient used in everything from windshield wiper fluid to gasoline. Morningstar says the company is vulnerable because it lacks natural gas supply and consequently is operating below its profitability potential.
Among its top rated takeover candidates are SunTrust Banks, a regional U.S. lender hit hard by financial crisis; Petrohawk Energy, which has been challenged by low gas prices; Range Resources, a big holder in the Marcellus gas play; Leap Wireless, whose telecommunications assets would be worth more if acquired by a larger carrier and Myriad Genetics, a medical firm that will benefit from the emerging trend of pairing diagnostic tests with cancer treatments.
Morningstar said it picked its top candidates based on their attractive prices to a potential acquirer because of either low stock market valuations or because market players are underestimating their long term cash flow potential.Report Typo/Error

People who want to improve their website conversion rate are on the right path. After all, if there's a way to make more money from the same amount of visitors, then there's no reason why they shouldn't pursue it, right?
However, improving your online conversion rate isn't as easy as it seems. Think about it. How can you persuade lurking visitors to actually make a purchase when they only want to "look around?" And how can you convince customers to buy more than they've set out to? Think no more! This article will teach you what you need to know about getting more sales from your visitors.
Conversion Booster #1: Be Very Subtle.
Perhaps the easiest customers to persuade are those who have bought from you before. For one, you've already succeeded once. And for another, you now have a better idea of the kind of people you're dealing with.
One example is a customer who has bought a beginner's scrap-booking kit from you last month. Obviously, that customer is now done with it and has come looking for something new.
If you want to get that person to buy from you again, don't look too eager to make a profit. Avoid putting up copies that say, "if you bought x scrapbook, then you should definitely buy the y scrapbook!" That's just such a turn off.
Instead, direct your focus on your customer. Amazon's "people who have bought x also bought y" is a good strategy. It gives customers options and insights without being forced to actually make a purchase.
Conversion Booster #2: Create a Simple Survey.
A survey is a great way to improve online conversion rate. Why? Because it gives you insight as to why people aren't buying as much, what kinds of products they like and what they don't like… straight from the horse's mouth!
Knowing all these things can help you figure out what other products you can introduce to your customers and what else you can do to spark their interest.
When making a survey, make sure to give your customers choices (but limit them to two or three) on what to answer. This will help speed up the tallying process and will give you a clear answer on what needs to be done! By using a survey, you're getting your input straight from the source.
Conversion Booster #3: Use Live Chat.
If you want to hear more from the people who visit your website, you might want to consider setting up a live chat on your page. This enables visitors (even non-customers) to leave comments and suggestions which might prove to be useful information.
In real time, you'll be able to know that one particular visitor is looking for a specific e-Book which you don't have yet. You'll also learn that another visitor liked your review on product b and is now thinking of buying it.
However, live chats also come with risks. Some people might leave a less than flattering message on the chat, too. The decision is up to you.
Conversion Booster #4: Keep Payment Methods Simple.
Another effective way to improve website conversion rate is to keep the payment methods simple. People like efficiency. No matter what kind of customer they are (either those who look around first or those who know exactly what they want), in the end, they all want payment to be swift and painless.
No customer wants to deal with too many processes just to complete one purchase. The more efficient your system is, the better. If you've been having glitches, you'd better make the time to sort that out before putting your website back up again.
One aggravated customer could spell disaster for your online reputation. Keep in mind that word-of-mouth spreads fast. On the other hand, if a customer has bought something from you before and has had no trouble processing payment, then you can have more chances of getting a repeat purchase in the future (as long as they want or need the product, of course).
Conversion Booster #5: Talk to Them Again.
Improving online conversion rate doesn't end with the website. If you can, why don't you take the whole thing one step further and actually contact the customer through email or telephone?
Of course, you're not supposed to contact them without their knowledge. That's just plain rude and annoying. But perhaps you can ask interested prospects to leave their contact details should they wish to learn more about a certain product. Those who leave their details are more or less your buyers. That's your cue to make the call. The deal is already half made. All you have to do is convince them to proceed with their order.
There are plenty of ways to improve your website conversion rate. The first thing you need to know though is that nothing is impossible. No matter how dismal the situation looks, you can still do something to boost your conversion rate. Tell yourself that everyone wants to make a purchase. All they need is a nice push in the right direction.

Creating a tasty and interesting lunch for the kids to take to school can be difficult, especially when kids can be picky with food. Joanne's recent article on lunchboxes got me thinking about ways to create nutritious, vegetable packed sandwiches that are appealing to kids.
Thankfully, Mark Northeast considered the same thing when making lunch for his 4 year old, and came up with the idea of Funky Lunch. Funky Lunch is a website showcasing lots of great ideas for how to make a lunchbox sandwich more interesting for kids. They currently have a strong following on Twitter.
This is a great activity you can sit down and do with the kids the night before to save on time. This Shaun the Sheep sandwich on the right is one of my favourites from the Funky Lunch gallery.
Here are a few more of the Funky lunch creations:
This cheeky giraffe sandwich is one of the more complicated sandwiches, but I love the spot details up the neck. Invest in a few cutters, the type you'd use for pastry or cakes, and it will be far easier to make them.
Little boys will love this pirate sandwich, and it appears to be fairly simple to make as well as packing in lots of tasty vegetables.
Remember the kids story The Hungry Caterpillar? Here's Funky Lunch's interpretation, with lots of mini circle sandwiches and a happy cherry tomato.
Funky Lunch are looking to bring out a book with all their methods and recipes. In the meantime, why not tell us how you make lunchbox sandwiches more fun for your kids.!

Beersiveknown (174) , Northern Ireland | September 6, 2015
Beautiful interior, very unusual toilets and excellent food. Did not get a chance to check the beer list as it was a private event. Attentive service, basement cocktail bar/club.
JoeinDahlem (352) Berlin, Germany | July 8, 2013
Impressive space with vaulted ceilings in a former bank. Fairly posh for the expense account crowd. The beer list is standard Palm/Boon/Rodenbach, so you could do worse, with a nice bonus of unfiltered Palm from cask. You can have a drink at the bar in the afternoon, so it's OK for a tick. Have heard both good and bad about food and service. The only time I really ate here we had a splurge at the raw bar, all washed down with Mariage Parfait, and came away very happy.
altonbrownd (341) Chevy Chase, Maryland | November 23, 2012
Very trendy lounge/restaurant in Brussels. But we tend to drink Champagne here, not beer. Not an obvious destination to add among the RB places...
JorisPPattyn (66) , Belgium | November 12, 2012
Undoubtedly the most unfriendly service available anywhere in Belgium. Food is Belgian/beer-oriented, with emphasis on seafruit, but some serious mistakes made (cooking with beer in the sauce requires diligence, to name but one). Can vary, but one such "service experience" can lead to only one conclusion: to be avoided at all cost!

President Peres said Monday that he opposes imposing criminal sanctions on haredim who refuse to join the army.
"Not everyone needs to serve in the army, you can serve elsewhere. The obligation of service should apply to everyone, but the ways of service can be different," he told students at Bar-Ilan University.
"I'm a great believer in dialogue. I wouldn't make this issue a criminal offense. I believe we can talk to reach our goals," Peres added. (Ynetnews)

This Will Make Your Day – Dope Zebra Dance [VIDEO]
When you got to get down, get a zebra. If I had a zebra I would totally teach him to do this. Alright, I know it's people inside, but they have dope moves. I imagine they can wobble with the best of them when they aren't in this suit. It's a pretty good one, looks just like the zebra in Madagascar that Chris Rock played. I have an 8 year old, I should know that…hope I am right.

Don't worry about that. Most people have incomplete employment history on their reports. Employment has no influence on your credit. If you want to try to update your employment info, you can contact the credit bureaus and ask them to do it, but they may not and it doesn't matter anyway.

For me, the beginning of the track was haunting, almost filled with a kind of fear, then the acoustic kicks in and peace flows over the whole thing before the electric guitar booms over and this piec of music just melds both peaceful and haunting feelings together for me, nicely done, like a sir.
Got the imagery right, then ;) Thank you!

Probably one of the lesser known of the non-Disney animated movies out there. Know one that I know even recalls this cartoon, which is sad cause it has the second most alluring song I've ever heard in a cartoon. First would be in American Tale II.
Yup, that's true, along with Balto. Thanks!

This song was beautiful from the movie, and now that I hear how you changed it up I love it even more! Thank you vato, this deserves a higher rating.
If it wasn't beautiful, I wouldn't have remixed it, and me having a very European metal influence with genres like symphonic metal, I knew that the song with metal would be a perfect match. I'm glad you liked it!

BEREA — Tight end Kellen Winslow missed his second straight practice Thursday with an undisclosed illness, and coach Romeo Crennel said he was being sent to a doctor for further examination.
"We're going to send him to see the doctor to see if we can get him cleared up for the game," Crennel said Thursday morning before practice.
Crennel was asked to elaborate on what the illness is.
"Not until after the doctors take a look at him and see if they can know what it is," he said. "They will let us know."
Winslow didn't practice during the bye week to rest a knee that got banged against the Bengals. The players were off Tuesday, then he sat out Wednesday.
"He was still sick (Thursday), so we sent him to the doctors," Crennel said.
Winslow leads the Browns with 19 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown. He's played every game the last two seasons despite being hampered by a surgically repaired knee that gives him constant pain.
Crennel said a lack of practice time won't keep Winslow from playing Monday night against the Giants if he's healthy enough.
"He's a valuable piece to this puzzle we have," Crennel said. "If he's able to do something, then we'll let him do something, try to catch him up and let him play. I know that he'll want to play. So he'll do everything he can to be able to."
Injury report
Receiver Donte Stallworth is cautiously optimistic he'll make his season debut Monday night.
"I think this week I can go out and help the team and not be a liability," he said.
During the half-hour of practice open to the media Thursday, he didn't participate in receiver drills and spent the time running and stretching under a trainer's supervision. On the injury report, he was listed as participating fully.
• Safety Mike Adams was added to the list with a foot injury. He was limited in practice.
• Safety Sean Jones (knee), tackle Kevin Shaffer (concussion) and defensive lineman Shaun Smith (hand) didn't practice. Smith will meet today with the doctor who performed his surgery last week, and expects to be cleared to practice and play.
Old friends
Crennel and Giants coach Tom Coughlin were assistants with the Giants from 1988-90. Two decades later, they're meeting for the first time in the regular season as head coaches.
"I knew that he was a good coach as an assistant," Crennel said. "He was punctual, organized, he liked things done a particular way and he was kind of set in his ways a little bit. That has shown up as a head coach also."
Coughlin has softened some of his disciplinarian ways recently, but still ruffles plenty of his players' feathers. Crennel, meanwhile, is seen as a players coach with a soft touch.
"Romeo Crennel is an excellent football coach," Coughlin said on a conference call. "He's a great family man and outstanding individual, he's a very good friend of mine.
"I had the privilege of coaching with him for a few years, but I've watched him for many years and he is a first-rate football coach and person."

San Jose Councilman Donald Rocha personally salvaged the independence of the city's Historic Landmarks Commission Tuesday. He headed off an attempt to dump two incumbent commissions and replace them with novices, gutting the majority that last spring declared the Century 21 dome to be a landmark.
The controversy showed why historic preservation has to be part of the debate in this fall's mayor and council races.
Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio, the council's liaison to the landmarks commission and an opponent of saving the dome, got to nominate candidates for five vacancies this month. Commissioners Ramiro Torres and Marilyn Messina were up for a second term, and Oliverio surprised them at last week's Rules Committee meeting by not re-nominating them. Instead he proposed four new candidates and wanted to leave one seat vacant.
This would have created a majority of novices on the seven-member commission, and we're just guessing it would have been less likely to see historic relevance in 20th century buildings. The council can overrule the commission's conclusion on whether a building is an historic landmark, but it's a lot easier to tear things down if the commission doesn't object. Gentlemen, start your bulldozers.
Rocha, in his usual thoughtful style, issued a memo before Tuesday's council meeting arguing that Torres and Messina deserved to be reappointed. Having no good reason to refuse, Oliverio changed his nominations and put each in a one-year vacancy instead of an additional full term. We hope they rise above the slight and resume their diligent and thoughtful work.
This may seem like a small thing, but it's not if you care about architectural history and character in a city short on both. Good for Rocha for calling the question, and let's re-visit this debate through the fall campaign.

Your Schools: 'What's done to children, they will do to society'
Recently I met a parent at a Chamber of Commerce business function who told me that while school superintendents are usually known for being boring and stodgy, I seemed more real and friendly.
I took that as a compliment. It gave me permission to keep writing about real things in life.
My wife and I officially moved past the phase of writing tuition and textbook checks to help our children afford their college education when our youngest graduated from UW-Madison a few years ago. We passed part way through writing checks for wedding expenses when two of our four children married their college sweethearts.
With all of this behind us, does it mean we finally have a little extra cash for traveling, hobbies, and retirement planning?
Think again. With the arrival of our first grandchild, new categories seem to be creeping into our budget: Baby outfits, children's books, a car seat, and trips to visit Ava Elizabeth and her parents.
I'm not complaining. My children and grandchild truly are my million dollar bank account. All of their expenses come with the territory of being a parent, and over the years, I have become a believer in Karl Menninger's words, "What's done to children, they will do to society."
By helping our children get a college education, celebrate their weddings, and by gifting their babies, we hope they will always value education and family and pass on these same values, in turn, to their children.
"What's done to children, they will do to society." I wrote a column about those words a few years ago after a school building in my previous district was vandalized by students on a rampage. Those words haunted me recently as I looked at obscene words and symbols of hate spray-painted on one of our schools in River Falls by weekend student vandals.
I don't in any way excuse students involved in these incidents. They must take responsibility for their actions, accept consequences and make restitution for damages. I am happy to see accountability by the guilty students and their families.
Still, what is done to children, they will do to society. Are parents to blame for their children's actions? How about teachers? Administrators? The economy?
None of us would willfully promote violence, animosity or destruction of property. And yet we must all take ownership when children strike out in anger. Good character consists of understanding, caring about, and acting upon strong, core ethical values.
What have we done to instill the values of respect, honesty, human worth and dignity, responsibility, courage and compassion in our children?
Do we intervene when we see exclusive cliques form, putdowns and stereotyping occur, or racial, gender, or sexual orientation slurs pass between young people? How about allowing children to play violent video games, or watch movies and listen to songs about hatred, death, and killing?
Or what about our own role-modeling while driving our cars, or in criticizing those we don't know, like, or understand?
The culture of violence played out every day in the media, real as in wars and murders, or make-believe as on computers and TV, might well be what we have done to our children, and which they are now doing to society.
My wife, a former teacher, reminds me of how one of her biggest tasks each spring was to steer her first graders away from talk of killing, shooting, bombing and destroying.
"What's done to children, they will do to society." Fortunately, that works for the good, as well, and I see that evidence every single day in this community.
I observed a mom and dad, a little tired and worn from their work week, pick up their son and four of his classmates at the middle school recently. They were headed to the Kinnickinnic to take them all kayaking on a rainy Friday afternoon to help celebrate their son's birthday.
I'm aware of a parent volunteer in one of our elementaries who comes every day to help a child recovering from surgery get out of his wheelchair and play for short periods while his muscles strengthen. Did I mention that this child is not the volunteer's?
A parent at our Renaissance program is worried about our budget cuts and the potential impact on her daughter's education. The parent is trying to help by writing grants for the school.
Parents of Montessori teacher Melina Papadimitriou answered her last minute call the week before school started to help with painting, nailing and cleaning while setting up a new Children's House (primary) classroom at the River Falls Academy building that was bright and cozy and colorful.
And I've witnessed parents dressing up as Italian chefs, complete with little black moustaches, to serve pasta dinners after sports practice the night before a big game to their tired but hungry athletes.
Band parents chaperone overnight weekend band performances, prepare meals for over 125 kids, sleep on gym floors, and haul equipment onto the field and back into the U-Haul afterwards.
Parents wait in cars in the high school parking lot until 1 a.m. on snowy nights, patiently awaiting their children to return from a trip to Rice Lake for one competition or another.
Last week, parents stood in the heaviest of downpours, some with umbrellas and some not, cheering their children playing soccer after school.
"What's done to children, they will do to society." Keep doing the good work for the children of this community. They're our greatest asset and our collective multi-million dollar bank account.

The pastor who gave the invocation at President Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration has joined with other church leaders asking that Obama make a special exemption for religious organizations in his planned executive order banning job discrimination against LGBT individuals.
The Rev. Rick Warren, senior pastor of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, where over 20,000 believers attend each week, has signed on to a letter in which religious leaders ask that Obama "include a religious exemption in your planned executive order addressing federal contractors and LGBT employment policies," The Atlantic reported.
Further, the letter states, "Without a robust religious exemption … this expansion of hiring rights will come at an unreasonable cost to the common good, national unity, and religious freedom.
"We are asking that an extension of protection for one group not come at the expense of faith communities whose religious identity and beliefs motivate them to serve those in need."
Obama's choice of Warren, author of the bestseller "The Purpose Driven Life," as a speaker caused a flap in 2008 because of the minister's opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion rights, with Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights campaign, complaining in a letter to Obama at the time, "By inviting Rick Warren to your inauguration, you have tarnished the view that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Americans have a place at your table."

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Steering wheel shakes & no tire traction in rain on 2006 Honda Odyssey
The wheel never shook (side to side vibration) and I never had a problem with spinning tires or traction in the rain, before I replaced the no flat tires and wheels with tires that anyone can change. Honda recommended a tire shop to change the wheels and I put on new tires. I noticed at high speed (65 MPH) vibration in the steering wheel and returned to the tire store. They aligned and balanced the tires. Steering wheel continued to vibrate and I still had poor traction in the rain so I took the van to Honda. They said it was a brake problem. Vibration continued even after Honda repair as did poor traction in the rain so I bought Michelin tires and had tires balance and aligned. Still vibration continues only at high speed and since it hasn't rained I don't know about the traction. I am now thinking of buying a new van. I would like to keep my Odyssey and hope you can come up with an answer.
If you put on new Michelin tires, are the wheels stock? If they are stock, then you may have an inner CV joint problem. I have seen this before, as the axle spins fast at freeway speed, it vibrates because the joint has excessive play.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Palmer named MVP for men's tennis
|Sophomore Lawrence Palmer was named the Most Valuable Player for the 2013 Augustana men's tennis team after posting a 16-11 record at number one singles and 17-10 in doubles.
Coach Jon Miedema has announced this year's award winners for the Augustana men's tennis team and sophomore Lawrence Palmer (Schiller International, El Prat de Llobregat, Spain) has been named the Vikings' MVP. Junior Kevin Bayles (Homewood-Flossmoor HS, Flossmoor, Ill.) earned "Hardest Worker" honors.
Palmer, Miedema's number one singles player, went 16-11 this season and teamed with junior Andy Wall (Notre Dame Academy, De Pere, Wis.) to go 17-10 at first doubles, tying the eighth-best single-season win total for a doubles team in school history. Palmer twice earned CCIW Player of the Week recognition and was a first team all-conference selection.
Bayles (Homewood-Flossmoor HS, Flossmoor, Ill.) had a big junior season for the Vikings. He went 22-12 in singles, playing mostly in positions three through five. The 22 wins are second most in school history and just one off the school record. In addition, he paired with senior Will Palmer (Schiller International, Leicester, England) to go 10-2 at third doubles, the ninth-best season winning percentage (.833) for a doubles team in school history. Bayles also teamed with freshman Harald Olsson (Lidingo, Sweden) to win the CCIW second doubles title in the fall and his doubles record with all partners this season was a sparkling 25-7.
The Vikings went 19-11 this year, including 3-2 in the CCIW. They finished fourth at the CCIW tournament this spring.
