Squaw Valley
Squaw can look intimidating to beginners due to the steep terrain right out of the village. The High Camp Cable Car, also called the Tram, rises up and over the Tram Face, virtually un-skiable terrain where Squaw holds an extreme competition yearly for the world's elite. But don't be fooled: there are fantastic beginner runs located at mid-mountain. Take a leap of faith and ride the tram to High Camp, where four lifts offer mellow groomed beginner and intermediate trails. The payoff is extraordinary lake views, as well as the feeling that you are high in the mountains and away from the run-of-the-mill lower-mountain slopes that most resorts provide for newbies.
High Camp is a mountaintop meadow tucked between high peaks where experts can get an adrenaline fix before meeting up with less skilled family members for lunch. High Camp has a swimming pool and skating rink as well as outdoor seating, providing an inspiring setting for all ability levels. For young children, the Papoose beginner's area is on the far eastern side of the parking lot beside the SnoVentures Activity Zone where you will find mini snowmobiles for kids and snow tubing for all ages. This is the learning ground for first-timers, completely unintimidating and with free hot chocolate.
For intermediates, Squaw Creek lift offers un-crowded runs and beautiful lake views, with groomers that loop down to the Resort at Squaw Creek on far looker's left of the resort. Squaw Creek offers classic American skiing, with trails cut through the trees—something you don't get much of in the wide-open expanses of Squaw. Upper-mountain intermediate terrain is accessed by the Shirley Lake Express, a fast six pack lift perfect for doing laps. The Gold Coast six pack lift provides advanced intermediate runs. Round out the day with some laps on the Solitude lift, which drops down from High Camp into groomed and un-groomed intermediate runs, glades and tree islands.
For skiers who like to hike, Squaw has bountiful options. Granite Peak, accessed via Granite Chief, is the resort's highest point at just over 9,000 feet, so it loads well on powder days and offers lots of hidden stashes days after a storm. Hidden Bowl features steep wide open terrain and tree shots, making this area prime for exploration. The Palisades chutes are some of the most infamous "Squallywood" terrain, featured in countless ski films. If you go big here, lots of chairlift riders will be watching and cheering. Access Palisades via the Siberia Express, but be prepared to handle a cornice drop.
Lesser skilled skiers should stick to the easiest of the Palisades chutes, National Chute to looker's left. Named for Olympian Jonny Mosely, Mosely's Run is a severely steep bump run that Jonny credits with giving him the skills to handle the world's toughest moguls competitions. Squaw will never win any awards for its tree skiing—there simply isn't that much due to the mountain's vast open expanses—but those who seek a forested environment should head to the Squaw Creek and Red Dog lifts, as well as the lower sections of Granite Chief.
Alpine Meadows
The terrain at Alpine Meadows ski resort consists of wide open bowls, long groomed slopes and abundant natural features within its 2,400 skiable acres. The ski area's front and backsides boast plenty of beginner, intermediate and advanced options.
Alpine Meadows offers some of the best skiing and riding in Lake Tahoe with the newly named Pacific Crest Bowls, offering backcountry access to expert skiers with the proper equipment. Take the short (or long) hike out to one of these bowls, and then end up back at a high-speed chairlift. From the summit of Ward Peak, visitors can take in spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Tahoe.
Beginners and intermediate skiers have numerous terrain options on both sides of the mountain. The front side is home to long groomers and some excellent intermediate runs off Roundhouse and Hot Wheels chairlifts. Then take Rays Rut around to the backside, where you'll access some of Alpine's best advanced–intermediate runs.
Squaw Valley
The first lifts to open are usually the Red Dog and KT-22 lifts. "KT" is the most coveted, and people line up at 6:30 a.m. to be the first to reach The Fingers, which are amazing when covered in deep snow but sketchy once skied out. Nose to Fingers is considered one of the best gets on the mountain. Access Nose by skiing looker's right of the KT-22 lift towers. The Fingers are a band of rocks about midway down the mountain.
To avoid the charge up KT-22, take the Red Dog lift instead. Its terrain is less skied but equally as challenging without the crowds. Poulson's Gulley, to skiers right of the lift towers, and Heidi's Rock are favorite steep and deep runs from Red Dog. Heidi's Rock requires a short hike and is reached by disembarking toward Red Dog Ridge. If the snow falls all day, head back to KT, which provides so much expert terrain that it hardly matters where you go because there are so many premier lines.
The Funitel (don't call it a gondola!) will typically open next. Ride it to High Camp and ski down to the Siberia Express lift, which whisks you to the ridgeline and the top of Siberia Bowl. On big snow days, the lifts typically open from looker's left to right, with Granite Chief often last to open. Granite Chief is located on the far boundary to looker's right, providing a bevy of unnamed runs and expert terrain where the crowds are often minimal, perfect for an afternoon expedition on a powder day.
Alpine Meadows
The resort is home to some great terrain for the powder lover. When snow is in the forecast, head to the lifts early to make sure you get fresh tracks. Hop in line at the Summit Express as this is one of the first lifts that will be open. Just off the top of Summit lift, the D's are a great first choice powder run, named for an old D8 tractor that accidentally slid over the edge while trying to clear a road to the summit.
Having merged with Squaw Valley, you can now take the free Squaw/Alpine shuttle between resorts, skiing and riding both mountains on one lift ticket. The Ice Bar is a local's favorite and can be found at the base of the Sherwood Bowl. Here you'll find quick bites and cold beers in a beach-like setting. Stay 'till happy hour on the Alpine Sun Deck and catch some great live music in the spring.
Located in the base village a short walk from the lifts, Mountain Nectar offers fresh-squeezed juices and smoothies, as well as coffee, tea, bagels, wraps and tables for sitting down with children. For a fast cup of coffee and a muffin, Starbucks is located in the base village, with the world's first ski-through location on the mountain as well.
The Arc in the Gold Coast mid-mountain lodge is the place to gather without leaving the slopes. The menu features Kobe beef burgers, Asian bowls, soups and more. For those who don't mind walking into the base village, Mamasake is a favorite lunch spot, featuring a Cal-Asian menu of sushi, sashimi, bento boxes and tapas, along with a variety of sakes.
High-end: PlumpJack Café is located a short walk from the lifts and village lodging. The menu changes seasonally, with a focus on local ingredients and novel wine pairings chosen by the sommelier. Daring foodies will go for the crispy veal sweetbreads, while meat lovers will enjoy the ribeye with bacon confit potatoes and haricots verts. Located in the Resort at Squaw Creek, Six Peaks Grille features biodynamic seafood and produce. Starters include the wine braised short ribs with black truffle cheese, and mains featuring a variety of heritage meats and a uniquely prepared Columbia River sturgeon.
Mid-range: 22 Bistro is located in the village near the KT-22 lift. Specializing in tapas and social plates, as well as reasonably priced salads and burgers, 22 has a children's menu and a to-die-for dish of potato-bacon donut holes.
Low-key: Fireside Pizza in the base village serves up gourmet pizza and pasta and is ideal for budget-conscious families. Fireside is known for its sourdough crusts, and their signature pie is the pear and gorgonzola.
Aprés: With a large outdoor seating area, Le Chamois is the main gathering spot for beer drinkers and is one of northern California's largest sellers of Budweiser. Regulars buy the $40 Buddy Pass, good for 20 pints of Bud. Duck inside to warm up and sit down in the Loft Bar, which is decorated with ski schwag from the 1970s and earlier eras. Just around the corner from Chamois, PlumpJack Bar located at PlumpJack Café has a daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. for those seeking a more formal setting. Wine lovers can experiment with the "mystery wine flight" with three half pours for $15.
Nightlife: Cornice Cantina is a great option for après on the sundeck or late-night drinks indoors. DJs spin dance music on Friday and Saturday nights, making the "Cantina" a favorite local hangout for off-duty patrollers and Squaw employees. It's located in the middle of the East parking lot, a five-minute walk from the base village lodgings. In the heart of the village, the Auld Dubliner is modeled after a rural Irish pub and features live music on weekends as well as a large beer and whiskey selection.

Vestas will deliver, install and commission 50 of its 1.8MW V100 machines and 25 2MW V90 turbines. "About two-thirds of the total will be used for projects in Romania, and a third in Bulgaria," says Mikael Ronholm-Nielsen, chief operating officer of Global Wind Power.
He adds that specific details about the projects are not being released at this point, nor are financial details of the turbine contract, which includes a five-year service agreement with Vestas.
Ronholm-Nielsen says some of the Romanian wind farms using these turbines are to be commissioned in the first half of 2010, while Bulgaria should see new projects coming online in the second half of the year.
Some projects for which the Vestas turbines were ordered are also expected to come online in 2011. Global Wind Power has already developed 40MW in operational wind farms in Bulgaria.
The company already has a subsidiary in Sofia, Bulgaria and Ronholm-Nielsen says the firm is also likely to open up shop directly in Romania.
"We think we need to be present locally, also using local employees, to make sure we can be operational on the market," he says. A final decision on the opening of a Romanian branch will be made later in January, he says.

Children's play in Port Arthur
Thursday, July 18, at 2 p.m., the O. Henry literary classic "The Ransom of Red Chief" comes to life in this hilarious adaptation by Patricia Barry Rumble. This is the story of two crooks, Bill (Alan Gardiner-Atkinson) and Sam (Brandon Morgan) who plan a get-rich quick scheme to kidnap the very energetic child of a local banker. But they get a lot more — and a lot less — than they bargained for. Their 10-year-old victim, who refers to himself as an Indian named Red Chief (Nicholas Lewis), is barely missed. He is also exultant over having two playmates to tease, torment and awaken in the wee hours (audience participation encouraged).
Although faithful to O. Henry, the production, directed by Timothy Eric, acquires an emotional dimension by showing the parallel lives of Bill and Chief as neglected children. They even form a bond. Played out on a set designed by Booker McIntosh with costumes designed by Shirley Marks-Whitmore, this delightful production is full of twists and turns.
Express Children's Theatre is Houston's oldest and largest performing and arts education organization dedicated specifically to children and families. Port Arthur Public Library is at 4615 Ninth Ave. in Port Arthur.

St. Paul, MN, 5/31/2011 — With a wet spring and delayed planting, many farmers are thinking of switching from corn to soybean due to potential yield losses in corn as planting is delayed. Farmers should consider potential net revenue along with potential yield loss before making this decision.
Supply and demand drive this analysis. Much of the U.S. Corn Belt is suffering from poor planting conditions this year, so total corn production will likely decline. Markets will react by pushing corn prices up. If more farmers switch to soybeans, total soybean production may increase, pushing soybean prices down.
University of Minnesota Extension has studied last year's costs of production from the Center for Farm Financial Management's FINBIN database of Minnesota farmers' actual expenses, their three-year average yields, projected harvest prices and estimated government payments. Based on this data, we forecast estimated net revenue of $443 per acre for corn and $195 for soybean. These estimates indicate a tremendous advantage for corn over soybean and the need for a large decrease in corn yield before soybean is more profitable than corn. To view data tables for this information as well as data related to the examples below, read a more detailed version of this column at www.extension.umn.edu/go/1065.
Suppose a farmer was able to plant corn and soybean in a timely manner and did not suffer a yield loss. Suppose also that many farmers across the Corn Belt switched to soybean and markets pushed the corn price up by 5 percent and the soybean price down by 5 percent. The estimates show an increase in net revenue for corn to $496 per acre for this farmer and a decrease for soybean to $168 per acre.
In another scenario, a farmer had corn planting delayed and suffered a 10-percent yield loss for corn but no yield loss for soybean. Again, suppose many farmers switched to soybean so prices increased 5 percent for corn and decreased 5 percent for soybean. In this situation, corn still has higher net revenue ($385 per acre) than soybean ($168 per acre).
In one last scenario, suppose a farmer has to plant corn very late and suffers a 25-percent decrease in corn yield, but the soybean yield does not change and forecast prices do not change. In this situation, the estimated net revenue for corn ($181 per acre) drops slightly below the estimated net revenue for soybean ($195 per acre). This situation with no price changes is unlikely to happen this year since planting is being delayed across most of the Corn Belt and prices of both corn and soybean are being affected.
Farmers may be well served to keep their cropping plan unchanged for a little longer, even though corn yields may be lower. When planting occurs between May 25 and May 30, growers should consider hybrids that are five to seven days earlier in relative maturity when compared to full-season hybrids. When planting is delayed until June 1 to June 10, consider hybrids that are eight to 15 days earlier. The latest recommended planting dates for corn grain are around June 5 in central and northern Minnesota, and June 15 in southern Minnesota.
Farmers, lenders and others can estimate net revenue to analyze their own situations under different price and yield conditions. A management tool (in Microsoft Excel) developed by Extension economist Bill Lazarus is available at http://z.umn.edu/3lk.

An Air Algerie passenger plane has crashed with 116 people, including five Canadians, on board after losing radio contact on its route from Burkina Faso to Algiers in northern Africa.
An Algerian aviation official confirmed the plane went down, but didn't offer any more details.
Air navigation services lost track of the plane 50 minutes after takeoff early Thursday, last sited at 2 a.m. local time, the Algerian Press Service said.
Swiftair, the Spanish private airline company that operates the plane, said a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 jet lost contact over northern Mali amid heavy rain.
It's not immediately clear where the plane went down or if there are any survivors.
Burkina Faso's transport minister confirmed five Canadians were on board.
Also on the plane were 50 French citizens, 24 Burkina Faso nationals, and passengers from Lebanon, Algeria, Switzerland, Nigeria, Cameroon and Mali.
It's believed all six crew members were Spanish.Jets help in search for plane
France's military has dispatched two Mirage fighter jets based in West Africa to search for the plane.
"They will search an area from its last known destination along its probable route," said French army spokesman Gilles Jaron.
Said Chitour, an Algiers-based freelance reporter, said some of the passengers' loved ones have gathered at the airport there to await any news.
The search for the plane will be difficult, Chitour said, as it was set to cross a large swath of the desert.
"It's a very tough area where there's nothing … it's the middle of nowhere, really," Chitour told CBC News Network.

The 23-year-old country singer was spotted house-hunting in the Connecticut-Rhode Island area with her parents and brother earlier this month.
According to TMZ, Swift managed to negotiate the $20 million asking price down to $17.75 million.
Swift had previously purchased a Cape Cod-style home near the Kennedy compound in Massachusetts, prompting gossip-mongers to speculate that she wanted to be closer to her ex-boyfriend Conor Kennedy.
She brushed aside the rumors in a March interview.
"I apparently buy houses near every boy I like," she quipped to Vanity Fair.
Swift eventually sold the Massachusetts home for a $1 million profit.

Considering genetic testing for colon and breast cancers
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am a 48 yr.old white female who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the colon contained within a polyp. I have a strong family history. My father died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 79. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 46. She was cancer free until 1988 when she was diagnosed with colon cancer. I considered genetic screening. I decided not to pursue it because (a) it was very expensive and (b) I had heard that genetic testing only screens for colon and breast cancer. I asked myself if genetic testing would change my approach to preventing cancer. My question. Would a person with my history benefit from genetic testing?
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
With your history of colon cancer already, you know that you are at increased risk for future colon cancer. Genetic testing, if a familial colon cancer syndrome were present, would confirm this and possibly tell you that you have a higher risk. The recommendations at this time would be the same that is colonoscopic surveillance.
If it were found that you had a genetic mutation suggesting hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), you would probably decrease your surveillance intervals to two years as opposed to 3 to 5 years. However, your history suggests but does not clearly support the possibility of HNPCC unless there are other members of your family with cancer. The chance of finding a mutation decreases with the fewer criteria a family has for the inherited syndromes. The main benefit of finding a positive test in you would be to predict risk in other unaffected family members. A negative test would not rule out an inherited syndrome, as only 60 to 70% of well-defined families will have a detectable genetic mutation. Testing your cancer first might increase the chance of finding a mutation, but it still may not help. As such, unless you have a burning desire to know, and the funds to pay for it, genetic testing probably does not play an essential role in your decisions for your health maintenance.
OncoLink has joined forces with the National Colorectal Research Alliance to help their scientists study the risk factors associated with colorectal cancer and identify potential preventive and treatment therapies. You and your family may be interested in taking our survey. This confidential survey was developed by cancer experts as an interactive way to help our leading scientists study families with a history of colorectal cancer.

Britney Spears and her fiancé Jason Trawick have revealed how their relationship went from business to pleasure.
According to Trawick, who previously was one of Spears's agents, the singer made the first move, he tells ELLE magazine in its October cover story.
"It was kind of one of those things where she moved, like, turned around, so we were face-to-face and then ..., " says Trawick, who became engaged to Spears last December.
But before Trawick, 39, can spill any more juicy details, his fiancée interrupts him, saying, "Okay, that's enough information, sweetie. It was sweet, just say that."
Spears, 30, is more straightforward when it comes to discussing her feelings toward fame.
"I guess I've been under the microscope so long that I don't even pay attention to the nonsense anymore," she says. "I gave up getting upset about things people make up about me a long time ago."
The X Factor judge admits that balancing her career with her life as a mother to Sean Preston, 6, and Jayden James, 5, doesn't always allow for high fashion.
"I love my jeans and my sweats – I'm really just a tomboy at heart. So it's really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup and hair ready every time I go out of my house," she says. "I'm not a believer in that, you know?"
She does admit to occasional regrets about her fashion choices. "When you do wear those sweats, you're like 'Oh God, I should step it up a notch,' " she says.

The 90-minute drive from Washington to Towson's SECU Arena was a trip down memory lane for several members of the Washington Wizards.
As the NBA franchise opened training camp Tuesday at the university's two-year-old basketball home in Baltimore County, players and even coach Randy Wittman reminisced about those halcyon days when they only had to worry about classes and basketball.
"It brings back memories of my first practice in college," said guard Garrett Temple, who is six years removed from his playing days at LSU. "I was anxious, nervous after not being highly touted."

Irish voters appear likely to vote again on the Lisbon Treaty in a bid to sustain progress toward a more streamlined and powerful European Union.
Meeting in Brussels, European Union leaders signaled their intent to prevent a two-tiered union by ensuring that all 27 member states ratify the treaty.
Even as they did, however, concerns rose about the Czech Republic's ability to do so, as the Czech senate has demanded a court ruling on the treaty's constitutionality.
Last week, almost 54 percent of Irish voters rejected the treaty, which will govern EU decisionmaking and institutions. That disrupted expectations that the treaty would be concluded by the end of the summer. Now, the Irish government has until October to complete its analysis of the referendum result and present a strategy for future ratification.
"It's not being said specifically yet, but it is quite clear that the other countries, especially Germany and France, want the Irish to vote again," says Simon O'Connor, editor of E!Sharp, a Brussels-based magazine on European Union affairs.
But discussion is under way of the modifications that might be needed to persuade Irish voters to change their minds. A Eurobarometer public opinion survey found that 76 percent of "no" voters believed the negative result would put Ireland in a strong position to negotiate the treaty.
Sinn Féin, the only Irish political party to advocate a no vote, has compiled a list of revisions it would like to see to the treaty. These include workers' rights, protection of public services, and military neutrality.
"Of course the government will say that this list is too ambitious, too detailed, and undeliverable," said Sinn Féin's Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, a member of the Irish parliament, during a debate on the treaty. "However, already we are hearing from a range of [supportive] voices across the EU, in governments, opposition parties, and social movements."
But Mr. O'Connor, speaking by phone from Brussels, argued that there could be no renegotiation, as that would require a reratification by the 19 countries that have already endorsed it. "Even if you changed one word, it would need reratification," he says.
Instead, Irish voters are likely to be offered clarifying declarations issues that emerged during the referendum campaign, even if some of these are unnecessary.
"Most of the issues that were raised like abortion, neutrality, and corporation tax raised have very little to do with the content of the treaty," says Gavin Barrett, a senior lecturer in law at University College's School of Law in Dublin. But, he says, clear declarations will be needed that maintain Ireland's neutrality as EU members move toward closer military cooperation and that ensure that Ireland's low corporation tax won't be raised as part of French plans for tax harmonization.
"There is also discussion emerging on a reconsideration on the number of [European Commission] commissioners," notes Theresa Reidy of the School of Business and Law at the University College, Cork. In the future, members of the European Commission, the administrative body of the EU, will be rotated between countries instead of giving each country a permanent representative. According to the Eurobarometer survey, this loss of a full-time commissioner was cited as a reason by 6 percent of "no" voters.
"It appears that there is a clause that would let them make that change without the treaty having to be reratified," says Dr. Reidy. "That would be a very significant concession for the Irish government and would also have the support of many other European countries."
Revisiting referendums isn't new to the Irish. In 2001, voters rejected the Nice Treaty, only to pass it a year later in another referendum, when assurances from the EU over the protection of Ireland's neutrality helped to change voters' minds.
Statements from EU leaders have been respectful of the Irish decision and supportive of the government. "The European leaders are careful not to inflame Irish opinion against the European Union," says Reidy. "I don't think there is a crisis in Europe at the moment. But if the Lisbon Treaty was rejected a second time, that would bring about a crisis situation."
In the meantime, attention has shifted to the Czech Republic. "It is difficult to predict what will happen," wrote Óscar Hidalgo-Redondo of the University of New York in Prague, in an e-mail.
"First of all, the [coalition] government is divided," he wrote. "The Eurosceptic prime minister Mirek Topolánek has adopted a very cautious approach and has already commented that the process needs to be slowed down."
In addition, the Constitutional Court's verdict is not expected before the autumn.
Nevertheless, French president Nicolas Sarkozy, who will take over the rotating EU presidency on July 1, is anxious to proceed with ratification in the remaining countries and will visit Ireland next month for talks on how to proceed at the next EU summit in October.
"You could hear very clearly from Sarkozy's press conference [on the first day of the summit] that he wants this treaty to go through," says O'Connor. "He won't accept no for an answer."

Taylor Swift's Ridiculously Cute Kitten Sleeps Like a Champ [Watch]
Taylor Swift's new kitten Olivia Benson is pretty much the most adorable thing happening on the internet these days. She's tiny and fluffy and awesome, and when she sleeps, she really conks out.
Swift shared a video of Olivia on Instagram, adding the witty caption "Not even kitten right meow." In the clip, the baby feline is laying on the singer's stomach in the most uncomfortable looking position, one that almost seems impossible for any cat to get into. But that didn't stop her..
"I'm on the plane. This is happening," the star says. "I don't even know how this is happening. But it's happening. She's a really aggressive sleeper."
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer announced the addition to her family of two (which includes her longtime cat friend, Meredith) a week ago. And just like any proud parent, Swift has been blowing up social media with pictures and videos of her baby as of late. Olivia is named after a character on Swift's favorite TV show, 'Law and Order: SVU,' whom she has long admired.
The tiny white kitten is quickly stealing the hearts of Swifties around the world. And Meredith better watch out -- Olivia Benson is turning out to be the cat's pajamas.

State water officials are warning that low water levels in reservoirs across the state should be a warning that conservation measures might be necessary to get through next year.
With little chance for record-rain conditions to develop in the Pacific this winter, the Fresno Bee reports that ( https://bit.ly/1ap2YBP ) the state could be headed for trouble.
Mike Cowin of the state Department of Water Resources said a drought has not been declared, but water managers will face a challenge if 2014 is dry.
Pine Flat Reservoir in the Fresno County foothills is at 16 percent capacity and most of the state's other large water-storing reservoirs are well below average. California is coming off one of the driest winters on record.
Most of the state's water comes from the Sierra snowpack.

Pocono Mountain East senior Ray Nicosia was the lone area wrestler to earn a top seed for this weekend's District 11 Class AAA Tournament at Liberty High School.
Pocono Mountain East senior Ray Nicosia was the lone area wrestler to earn a top seed for this weekend's District 11 Class AAA Tournament at Liberty High School.
Nicosia (12-1), a returning District 11 silver medalist, earned the top seed at 152 pounds. Last year he went on to earn a state sixth-place medal at 145.
Three area wrestlers earned second seeds — East Stroudsburg South's Colby Ems (20-1 at 126 pounds), Stroudsburg freshman Jake Jakobsen (24-10 at 152) and Pleasant Valley's Mike Benner (21-4 at 285).
Action kicks off Friday at 4 p.m. with a pigtail round, followed by the quarterfinals and the first round of consolations.
Wrestling continues Saturday at 9 a.m. with the second round of consolations, followed by a 10:30 a.m. semifinal round. The finals will start at 7:15 p.m.
The top five finishers at each weight will qualify for the Northeast Regional Tournament March 1-2, also at Liberty.
Last year 22 wrestlers from the area qualified for the region tournament and seven reached the state tournament.
Nicosia finished sixth in Hershey, while Pleasant Valley graduate Michael Dahlstrom finished sixth at 126 pounds.
Two-time state qualifier Kenny Yanovich (28-2), a junior at PV, is the third seed at 113, behind top seed and defending state champion Ethan Lizak of Parkland, and No. 2 seed Evan Fidelibus (26-9) of Easton.
Ems is looking to earn his second trip to states. The Cavalier junior was fourth at 120 pounds at the district tournament a year ago.
Benner was a regional qualifier last year at 285 and won two bouts, but did not reach the state tournament.

Social Security Administration explains ammunition purchase
The Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of Inspector General's new Web blog on Aug. 16 sought to defuse news reports about its plans to purchase substantial amounts of handgun ammunition.
Reports in conservative news sites the week of Aug. 13 highlighted the SSA's request for pricing quotes for 174,000 rounds of .357 Duty Carry Sig 125 grain bonded JHP hollow point bullet ammunition. The agency posted its request on Aug. 7 at the FedBizOps.gov Website, which led to media speculation about why the agency wanted so much hollow point ammunition.
The SSA's OIG said the ammunition procurement follows all federal rules for ammunition purchases and will be used by its 295 special agents and supervisory special agents who work in its 66 field offices throughout the country. Those agents, said the OIG's "Beyond the Numbers" blog, are charged with full law enforcement duties, including executing warrants and making arrests when laws governing its programs are violated.
"Our investigators are similar to your State or local police officers. They use traditional investigative techniques, and they are armed when on official duty," it said.
In another post on the blog, the agency said in the first six months of Fiscal 2012, its agents closed 3,804 investigations—about 16 investigations per agent. Most of those, it said, involved disability payment fraud.
News reports questioned why the agency needed hollow point ammunition, which can cause more damage than regular bullets.
"Media reports expressed concerns over the type of ammunition ordered. In fact, this type of ammunition is standard issue for many law enforcement agencies," said the OIG. "OIG's special agents use this ammunition during their mandatory quarterly firearms qualifications and other training sessions, to ensure agent and public safety. Additionally, the ammunition our agents use is the same type used at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center."
The agency emphasized that its agents needed to be armed and trained to handle not only investigations of security fraud, but to respond to threats against Social Security Offices, employees and customers.
Threats against federal agencies are not uncommon. The SSA's office in Ft. Smith, AR was shut down briefly after it received a threat on July 31, for instance. The head of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration estimated in 2010 that his office handled more than 1,200 threat and assault case referrals from the Internal Revenue Service between 2001 and 2008.
The OIG said protecting its facilities and personnel is critical because the SSA is processing more applications than ever, meaning more traffic in its offices. "Employee and visitor safety is the highest priority for OIG, which, together with the Federal Protective Services and local law enforcement, has jurisdiction over SSA workplaces."

For what he claims is his final feature, anime master Hayao Miyazaki didn't make things easy on himself.
"The Wind Rises" is a biopic about Jiro Horikoshi, a mild-mannered aeronautical engineer who was devoted to designing Japan's first metal fighter planes. There are sliderules aplenty and all the talk about wing strut stress and flush rivets you could ever want to hear. To add to the fun, there's also a remarkably innocent romance with the tubercular painter who became Jiro's wife. And, oh yeah, this guy ended up creating the Mitsubishi Zero, a machine which took more American and other Allied lives than I care to research.
Sounds like the stuff of surefire cartoon entertainment, huh?
Well, let me just say that "Wind Rises" may be Miyazaki's most gorgeous film ever. Grounded in reality for the most part (Jiro's dreams of flying machines provide the fantasy elements that run rampant through Miyazki's "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke" and other great works), it's depictions of 1930s Japan rival some of that culture's famous woodcuts in craftsmanship and detail. Nature is especially well-rendered, and wind isn't in the title for nothing – it swells and gusts in endless ballets of invisible ingenuity.
There is other action, too. Plane crashes, of course, but also the terrifying earthquake that leveled much of Tokyo, and the subsequent firestorm that destroyed whatever was left.
The film can't help dragging in places by nature of its wonkish subject matter, but it always does so ravishingly. As for that annoying political thing, Miyazaki throws a couple of anti-fascist bits into the story, and in the few scenes when war is actually referenced, the emphasis is on its pointless devastation.
Whether or not that's enough is a question written on the wind.
Check back for updates from AFI Fest and more reviews by Los Angeles News Group reporter Bob Strauss.

The Medical Center Electrophysiology Laboratory is active in all aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with cardiac arrhythmias or abnormal heart rhythms. Cardiac arrhythmias occur when the electrical impulses in the heart that coordinate an individual's heartbeats don't work properly, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly.
Evaluating cardiac arrhythmias
Sometimes people have occasional, irregular heartbeats that may feel like a fluttering or racing heart. However, some heart arrhythmias may cause worsening medical conditions or be life threatening and need medical evaluation and treatment by an electrophysiologist. An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist who has additional education and training in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms.
Conditions that can be evaluated by an electrophysiologist include slow heart rhythms, fast heart rhythms, syncope (fainting spells or near fainting spells) and skipped heart beats. Another condition is atrial fibrillation, an irregular and often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow to the body. During atrial fibrillation, the heart's two upper chambers (the atria) beat out of coordination with the two lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart.
Electrophysiology Testing
Electrophysiology testing is a procedure that evaluates the electrical system of the heart, diagnoses the type and location of rhythm disturbance and guides treatment. To locate the abnormal heart rhythm, an electrophysiologist uses the CARTO™ XP Navigation System to create three-dimensional maps of the heart. Precise electrical activity is color-coded to assist in diagnosis of the arrhythmia displayed on the anatomical map.
Treatment options
Heart arrhythmia treatment can often control or eliminate irregular heartbeats. Some treatments can also help prevent sudden cardiac death and provide advanced treatment of congestive heart failure.
Treatments depend on the type of arrhythmia that a patient has. The Medical Center Electrophysiology Laboratory offers the following treatment options:
- Radiofrequency ablation to treat and cure fast heart rhythms (for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, i.e. Wolfe-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Atrial Flutter, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Premature Ventricular Contractions)
- Pacemaker implantation to treat slow heart rhythms
- Defibrillator implantation to prevent sudden cardiac death
- Biventricular defibrillator implantation for the advanced treatment of congestive heart failure
- Loop recorder implantation to evaluate unexplained fainting spells
- Cardioversion to shock the heart back into normal rhythm
Cardioversion is a procedure that restores a normal heart rhythm for people who have fast or irregular heart rates. The patient is connected to an electrocardiogram monitor that measures the electrical activity of the heart; the monitor is also connected to a defibrillator. An electrical shock is sent to the heart at a precise point during the heart rhythm cycle in order to convert the fast rhythm to a normal one.
- Tilt table testing to evaluate syncope
A tilt table study is a diagnostic test for unexplained episodes of fainting or syncope. During this procedure, the patient lies on a special table that is elevated from a horizontal position to a vertical position in an attempt to cause syncope. The patient's blood pressure and heart rate are monitored to evaluate changes during the procedure. Learn more about tilt table studies.
Causes of abnormal heart rhythms
While an arrhythmia can strike anyone at any age, the condition is particularly common among older adults. The cause is often unclear. But experts have found that an arrhythmia can sometimes result from:
- Blocked arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease)
- Scarring of heart tissue (such as from a heart attack)
- Changes to the heart's structure (such as from an enlarged heart)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Diabetes
- Overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)
- Caffeine, tobacco, heavy alcohol use, or drug abuse
- Medications (such as cough and cold medicines, over-the-counter dietary supplements, appetite suppressants, and herbal treatments)
- Stress

MIDDLEBURY — Local planners and developers joined the Douglas administration last week in panning a House-passed affordable housing bill they said was more of an anti-sprawl measure that would not substantially boost the state's stock of low-cost homes.
The bill, which received final approval in the House on Wednesday by a 79-61 tally, proposes to create economic incentives and streamline the Act 250 permitting process for developers proposing projects containing at least 20-percent affordable housing in and around designated downtowns and villages.
The bill also amends criterion 9L of Act 250 in a manner that opponents believe will make it harder to develop housing in rural areas and communities that don't yet have designated downtowns and villages.
"I don't doubt that the intentions of the bill are worthy, but the unintended consequences will be just the opposite of what it's hoping to accomplish," said Bill Sayre, a Bristol resident and leader of Associated Industries of Vermont, an organization that advocates for public policy that protects the "private enterprise economy" in the state.
Sayre and other opponents of the bill argue that it may actually make it harder for developers to build affordable housing — even at the monetary threshold prescribed by the legislation. That threshold is 80 percent of Vermont Housing Finance Agency's limit for new homes, which translates to $219,200 in Addison County — an amount that many argue is too high to be considered affordable. The legislation calls for the units to remain 'affordable' for at least 15 years.
Officials in communities that have designated downtowns or villages note there is little room left in, or around, those areas in which to create new housing, let alone at an affordable price.

BRISTOL — While some towns have struggled to find people to serve on various boards and elected offices, 11 Bristol residents have expressed interest in seats on the planning commission, with only two incumbents leaving. In fact, a total of 39 town residents have indicated interest in positions on eight town boards and committees.
Selectmen will interview the candidates at a special meeting on Monday at 7 p.m. in Holley Hall. They may make decisions regarding the candidates then, but Selectwoman Sharon Compagna said appointments, an annual activity after March town meeting, will probably not be made until the regular selectboard meeting on March 31.
Compagna attributed the increased interest to the fact that an application form for volunteer positions was included in the town report.
Others say the ongoing controversy over plans for a gravel pit on land south of downtown Bristol has apparently spurred greater civic involvement, particularly on the planning commission.
Town administrator Bill Bryant said other municipal groups attracted "not that level of interest," getting far fewer applicants per seat than the planning commission. The Revolving Loan Fund board, for example, only received four new applicants in addition to the seven members up for reappointment to one-year terms.
There are nine seats on the Bristol Planning Commission, each with a three-year term. Two of the members whose terms are up have expressed an interest in continuing, according to Bryant: Stan Livingston and Jim Peabody. Diane Heffernan, the third member whose term is up, isn't interested in serving again, and Bunny Daubner is stepping down even though her term isn't up until 2010, citing family health issues, Bryant said.
BRIDPORT — The Bridport Grange Hall will receive a $15,680 cut of $196,000 in federal money recently secured by Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., for senior centers in four counties.
Bridport Grange Hall became eligible for the money as host of the Bridport Seniors Group. The hall also serves as a distribution point for the local Meals on Wheels program (see related story this page).
The Champlain Valley Agency on Aging will receive the grant money. Leaders of the Bridport Grange and Bridport Seniors Group will together discuss how the money will be spent on improvements to the building.
Jim Morse, an officer with the Bridport Grange, said the building could use work on its dining room floor and its parking amenities. Visitors currently must park alongside the road or off-site.
"It sounds really good," Morse said of the grant award.
Debbie Plouffe, another officer of the Grange, said the organization has been able to make other important repairs to the building thanks to special fund-raising events and fees garnered by the facility. Those repairs have included new windows, a new furnace, painting and insulation for the walls.
Seniors use the Grange Hall at least twice a week, primarily for meals and socializing, Plouffe said.
When announcing the grant last week, Sanders said the importance of senior centers, like Bridport's, should not be underestimated.
"Senior centers in Vermont play a great role in making sure that older Vermonters receive the nutrition, socialization and health care they need," said Sanders. "Unfortunately, many of these senior centers are located in older buildings that need infrastructure improvements."

After an hour long conversation with the Hughes family of Sharkey�s, I felt nearly as frustrated as they. James, managing owner, repeated the same clear distinction between the homeless and those he considers �bums.� I was surprised to find that the Salvation Army makes this same distinction, but by another name.
As I sat inside Sharkey�s listening to the threats the family has received since the firestorm began, there lay human excrement and liquor bottles outside�again. The real chaos came one evening as a man sat eating dinner there. He watched as a vagrant urinated on the front of the building. James said the next day, this same diner returned with the now notorious T-shirts. It seems this patron is also the entrepreneurial owner of the T-shirt printing company.
Still angry from the prolonged disrespect of vagrants, James and crew wore the T-shirts to that evening�s City Council meeting. Little did they know this was a closed session meeting and they would not be allowed to attend or voice concerns.
James also noted that all the many times he called the police about the abusive vagrants, only a handful of times did he actually call to make a report. It was usually to inform officers someone had been removed and to be on alert of them. James argued that if a formal complaint or report for every incident were made he would lose customers. Who wants to eat at a place with flashing blue lights or constant police presence? But police presence may be what is needed here.
I feel for both the merchants and homeless. Small business is hard enough and these people have their entire lives invested in their businesses. On the other hand, I lost my dear, homeless half-brother last year when a car struck him. He struggled for years trying to get back on his feet.
The actual �bums� James and those shirts referred to are a small criminal element of the downtown homeless population -- a group of four or five, ages ranging from 18-25 years old. Asking other merchants on Main about similar problems, I was told there had been issues, but by only a few.
Broken windows and such have been problems, although most of the homeless have passive and even neighborly relationships with many merchants. Salvation Army Director Mark Hunter said of their population that there are the families and individuals out of work or receiving treatment that are trying to get back on their feet. Then there are the addicts and alcoholics that refuse treatment, many of whom suffer from mental illnesses.
Among the Salvation Army shelter, As One Ministries Day Center, Crisis Assistance Ministries, Goodwill and other missions, there are avenues provided to access IDs, medicine, computers for resumes and job searches. But for those still in the throes of addiction or seriously clouded by mental illness, the options are few.
Pathways is available for treatment, but it must be requested. Being a family accessible shelter, Salvation Army does random drug and alcohol testing. Except for the cold weather shelter provided when temperatures reach 40 degrees and lower, one must be free of substances to enter. But what can be done about those �gap� individuals, especially if some are being destructive? No one seems to have an answer for this.
A mandatory medical detox shelter and mental health assessment center would seem to be the answer. But since the Ragan administration�s defunding of such mental health facilities in the theoretical �small government� reshaping, these no longer exist in any numbers.
Greenville, S.C. has a beautiful, historic, revitalized downtown. Like us, they have a �No panhandling� law. They also have active foot patrol officers and surveillance systems in place. Gastonia leaders would do well to concentrate some resources in these areas. And stronger foot patrols would mean a proactive approach and quicker resolution to problems without chaotic blue lights deterring customers.
In addition to feeding everyone, the Salvation Army also has open rest rooms and a daily open-period for their shower facilities from 12-3 p.m. Even those �gap� homeless, regardless their condition, can go in during this time, shower and get a change of clothes. This is news to me, and to the merchants as well, I assume.
The Salvation Army is in nearly constant need of toiletries and the pantry runs low frequently. Why don�t the downtown merchants collaborate with the Salvation Army for customer donation drives in return for store discounts? Maybe quarterly drives would be feasible.
The Olive Garden sends dinner once a month with some of their employees to serve. Maybe some of our downtown restaurants could rotate a monthly service as well. Even before speaking with The Salvation Army, Sharkey�s told me they were interested in participating in positive collaborations that would bring relief to the homeless situation. They already hire hourly and �chore� type help from some of the homeless and even suggested percent- of-profits type events.
Closer collaboration between merchants and The Salvation Army would mean making merchants aware of the services they can direct the homeless to. I see an opportunity for unity, community, goodwill, promotions and to show others that Gastonia really does care.

Trey Songz Reminds Us How Hot He Is in the Latest GQ – Hunk of the Day
Anyone picked up the latest issue of GQ? Well, this time around you should 'cause Trey Songz got himself a nice little spread in there, looking suave as hell. The photos aren't available online yet, so now's the time to run to a newsstand and find out exactly what we're talking about. (Or, we suppose, you can just wait that extra week or so until it hits the web.)
Trey's GQ pics were a much needed reminder of how sexy he is. We already knew this, but lately he's been getting upstaged in the news by Chris Brown and that singing president of ours. He's also proving himself to be quite the style icon. (Maybe even more stylish than Kanye West. Is that blasphemous to say?)

It was Saturday, March 25, 1911. The work week was ending at the Triangle Waist Company factory in Lower Manhattan, and the men and women who operated the sewing machines and cut the cloth were pushing away from their tables, with some anticipating a night on the town and all looking toward to their one day of rest.
On the 8th floor, flames suddenly leaped from a wastebasket under a table in the cutters' area.
While workers frantically struggled with pails of water to douse it, the fire hopscotched to other waste bins and snared the paper patterns hanging from strings overhead.
The fire spread quickly — so quickly that in a half hour it was over, having consumed all it could in the large, airy lofts on the 8th, 9th and 10th floors of the Asch Building, a half block east of Washington Square Park.
In its wake, the smoldering floors and wet streets were strewn with 146 bodies, all but 23 of them young women.
The Triangle shirtwaist factory fire, as it is commonly recorded in history books, was one of the nation's landmark disasters, a tragedy that enveloped the city in grief and remorse but eventually inspired important shifts in the nation's laws, particularly those protecting the rights of workers and the safety of buildings.
The tragedy galvanized Americans, who were shaken by the stories of Jewish and Italian strivers who had been toiling long hours inside an overcrowded factory only to find themselves trapped in a firestorm inside a building's top floors where exit doors may have been locked. At least 50 workers concluded that the better option was simply to jump.
Triangle was one of the nation's largest makers of high-collar blouses that were part of the shirtwaist style, a sensible fusion of tailored shirt and skirt. Designed for utility, the style was embraced at the turn of the century by legions of young women who preferred its hiked hemline and unfettered curves to the confining, street-sweeping dresses that had hobbled their mothers and aunts.
The company had become notorious two years before when its owners, immigrants themselves, managed to withstand a 13-week industry-wide strike, without giving in to demands for better conditions and union representation.
The fire accomplished what the strike could not. From the city's grief sprang government investigations and transformative legislation, first in New York State and then the nation.
In New York a state legislative commission was formed to study the fire and the safety of factories. The commission was led by two unlikely reformers, the Tammany Hall politicians Robert F. Wagner and Alfred E. Smith. Aware of the public outrage, they spearheaded changes in state legislation to require fire sprinklers, fire drills and unlocked and outward-swinging doors, and inspired a bill limiting work to 54 hours without overtime.
Leon Stein, author of the definitive history, "The Triangle Fire" (ILR/Cornell University Press, 1962), noted that the commission's first year of work "resulted in the addition of eight new laws to the labor code; it produced twenty-five new laws the following year, and three in 1914."Wagner and Smith's work helped them vault respectively to the United States Senate and the governor's mansion.
That reform spirit also made its way to Washington, where the National Labor Relations Act, also known as the Wagner Act, was passed in 1935, assigning rights to workers, including strengthening their right to organize.
And by a striking serendipity, one of the fire's onlookers was 30-year-old Frances Perkins, who had been having tea at a patrician townhouse on Washington Square and heard the wail of fire engines.
Perkins, who was part of the New York commission, went on to become Franklin Delano Roosevelt's secretary of labor, the first female cabinet member. In that job, she helped craft federal laws that limited working hours nationally and the age children could work, set floors on wages and inaugurated the social security system. Years later she said the New Deal was"based really upon the experiences that we had had in New York State and upon the sacrifices of those who, we faithfully remember with affection and respect, died in that terrible fire on March 25, 1911."
Perkins pledged that the victims would never be forgotten. And, indeed, labor unions and their descendants every year mark the anniversary of the fire at the former Asch Building (now called the Brown Building, which houses science laboratories and classrooms for New York University) by reciting each victim's name with the toll of a bell, and chalk outlines drawn on the sidewalk where so many bodies fell.
But six of the 146 had never been identified. The day those "unknowns" were buried by the city in the Cemetery of the Evergreens, on the border of Brooklyn and Queens, had been the culmination of the city's outpouring of grief, as hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers turned out in a driving rain for a symbolic funeral procession sponsored by labor unions and other organizations, while hundreds of thousands more watched from the sidewalks.
A century later, a researcher, Michael Hirsch, finally put names to each of the six. And so in 2011, at the centennial commemoration of the fire, the names of all 146 dead would finally be read.

If you stand back, way back, and squint your eyes really hard, you might be able to recognize shapes within the shimmering mirage that is the future. The images are fleeting and momentary but a sense can be gained of what might lie ahead.
Some believe our country is 'lost,' that takers now occupy the majority position over the makers - and government by the people will become government for the takers. All 50 states have launched secession petitions. Yet America has never been fully formed, and may never be, so 'lost' is relative. Transition is a more appropriate term, with fear of lost liberty driving protest. Trepidation is not without foundation, for one need only turn and squint across the pond.
A fifth year of trillion-dollar spending deficits and a fourth year without a budget will bring an unprecedented third downgrade of our federal credit rating. The noise may be enough to start the fiscal avalanche that will obliterate our very shaky economic recovery. It won't matter if the party of blame can make the charge stick to the party of obstruction - we will all be buried. Eventually we'll dig ourselves out, but the realization of prosperity lost for another decade will drive survivors to adopt measures of sensibility.
The president stated, "Top down doesn't work, from the middle out does." Yet some things are best governed from the top, like national defense and certain aspects of natural resource management. But we tip sideways when too much power is concentrated in our federal government, just as we do when wealth is concentrated in the hands of too few. Ironically, the president's analogy applies to Obamacare, a bite that will prove way too big for Washington, D.C., to chew. Repeal of this monstrous bill is unnecessary, for in the long run the very insured will come to understand it is not what they bargained for and demand reformation. The future lies not in the abolishment of Obamacare, but in the heroic act that ensures it will be more than an unsustainable empty promise. As the states establish their insurance exchanges we discover part of the solution: Let the states drive the program from the middle out.
Squint, and myriad possibilities begin to appear. To better achieve economies of scale, states begin to form closer partnerships and even merge. Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine become New Vermaine. More states will adopt referenda allowing casual drug use, resulting in increased tax revenues and declining crime rates. Similar resolutions will be passed permitting and recognizing same-sex marriages. In spite of dire predictions, society will refuse to collapse. The USA, Mexico and Latin America will draw ever closer, sharing goods, people and heritage.
The hand of God will be seen in the process of evolution. Religious tolerance will continue to expand, especially for those with 'live and let live' tenets. Those that profess 'live and let die' doctrines will become more and more spurned. Even a strained compromise on abortion will eventually be established. Polarization will continue to diminish as mutual respect and individual liberty again flourish.
These, and many more shadowy things will begin to take shape in our near future. Exactly how they materialize will be up to those willing to stay and do the hard work, demanding faithfulness to foundation principles. Those that leave, in body or spirit, forgo participation in the greatest experiment ever undertaken.
