Is this justice?: The 'adult-time' law burdens children already handicapped by poor parenting Last of four parts Wednesday, March 21, 2001 By Barbara White Stack, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
Christopher M. cleaned up well for his trial for armed robbery before Common Pleas Judge Timothy O'Reilly.
Unlike many teen-age defendants who show up in oversized T-shirts and sagging jeans, Christopher dressed in a gray suit, combed his hair straight back like James Dean and hung a cross around his neck.
Unfortunately, he couldn't clean up his parents, who joined him on Sept. 9, 1997, in O'Reilly's courtroom.
His mother, Roberta, arrived in red Allegheny County Jail fatigues and silver ankle shackles because she'd violated her probation for drug possession.
His father, William, who had his own record for drug possession and driving while intoxicated, went to court with stubble on his face and 80 staples in his skull to repair injuries he'd suffered when he had rolled over a truck he'd been driving without a license. Christopher had skipped six months of high school in 1996 to care for his father after the crash.
In the back of the courtroom sat Christopher's 15-year-old brother and 9-year-old sister. They depended on 16-year-old Christopher's earnings as a basement waterproofer to support their family.
Because he was accused of a serious crime -- armed robbery -- Christopher had became one of the 129 Allegheny County teen-agers charged as adults during the first year of Pennsylvania's "adult time for adult crime" law.
The law was meant to take the state's worst juvenile criminals off the streets and put them in prison, but it often has scooped up children like Christopher who are more deprived than depraved.
Many of the teens charged that first year had lives as tragic as Christopher's.
Unhappy inheritance
In order to obtain some information about these teens that is normally confidential, the Post-Gazette agreed not to disclose their full identities. For that reason, and because those whose cases were transferred to the juvenile system do not have criminal records for those offenses, the newspaper is using only first names and last initials of those whose stories are told.
More than half -- 52 percent -- had been abused or neglected. Christopher was among them.
In addition, at least 40 percent were the children of criminals. Eight, including Christopher, had two parents with criminal records. And that's an incomplete count because a third of the youths did not list two parents' names on police and court papers.
Gov. Tom Ridge, who supported the get-tough legislation that treated Christopher as an adult, acknowledges that many of the teens affected were victims of abuse. "These kids didn't have much of a chance from the get-go because they didn't have much of a family," he said.
As both a prosecutor and a defense attorney in Erie, he had researched teens' backgrounds. "Your heart bleeds for these kids," he said, "because the environment in which they were raised was polluted with drugs, violence, abuse which they observed and abuse directed to them as victims. Are we surprised that their response at age 15 is not rational or normal or peaceful?"
No prior record
Though his hearing before O'Reilly would go steadily downhill, Christopher had been lucky in court up to that point.
His biggest break was that the prosecutor had agreed to his request that his trial be moved from criminal court to juvenile court. So now he faced O'Reilly, a juvenile court judge, who would send him to reform school if he was convicted instead of an adult prison.
It helped that he had no juvenile record, was only 15 at the time of the crime and wasn't accused of holding the gun during the robbery. The prosecutor decided Christopher deserved the chance to benefit from reform school.
But Christopher is an exception. In general, Pennsylvania's "adult time" law has made it harder for a teen with no previous record to get a trial in the juvenile system.
One study showed that in 1994, before Pennsylvania's "adult time" law, only 7 percent of teens transferred to criminal court were first-time offenders. After the law, more than half of the children tried as adults in 1996 -- 53 percent -- were first-time offenders.
Though Pennsylvania sends to adult criminal court only youths charged with serious felonies, other states are much more liberal. As a result, nationwide, of the juveniles tried as adults and incarcerated, nearly 40 percent went for nonviolent offenses such as burglary, car theft and drug possession in 1997.
Shay Bilchik, executive director of the Child Welfare League of America, is among the critics who say "adult time" laws have gone too far. "There is an overuse of the transfer of kids into the criminal system. These are kids who do not belong there," Bilchik said.
One such child, Bilchik said, was Anthony Laster, a mentally retarded and nearly deaf boy from Bilchik's home state of Florida. Shortly after Laster's mother died in 1998, Laster, who was 15, asked a 14-year-old boy in his special education class for lunch money. When the boy refused, Laster reached into the classmate's pocket and took $2. Laster spent the next 48 days, including his first Christmas without his mother, behind bars, charged with robbery as an adult. Only after cameramen from "60 Minutes" arrived in Boyton Beach to film one of Laster's hearings did the prosecutor drop the charges, freeing the boy from jail.
A former prosecutor, Bilchik has met children who have committed unconscionable crimes. He knows the juvenile system cannot save all of them. But, he said, the decisions about where to try children should not be made by wholesale groupings, where all 15-year-olds charged with aggravated assault go to criminal court. Instead, he said, decisions should be made based on individual children's backgrounds and circumstances.
A mother's tale
Christopher's circumstances included a recent stint in a homeless shelter because his family had been evicted from the hotel where they had been staying. By the time of his trial, they'd rented an apartment, but didn't have a phone.
His lawyer would tell the judge about that later, but first, the victims of the hold-up and his partner in crime, Adam Flint, testified against him.
Flint was 18 at the time of the robbery, just five days before Christmas in 1996. He was too old to get a transfer to juvenile court. He arrived at Christopher's trial in jail fatigues and shackles, having already been sentenced to five to 10 years for this robbery and another one.
Flint wouldn't testify until the judge threatened to hold him in contempt, after which he said he was the man with the gun and Christopher was his "companion."
A gas station clerk testified that he was mopping the floor at closing time when he turned to find a silver pistol pointed at his face. The robbers wore baseball caps pulled low and bandannas pulled up over their noses, but at one point, Christopher's bandanna slipped, and the clerk got a look at him.
Christopher, the clerk said, handed him a plastic bag and told him to fill it with cash from the register. He said they got away with about $100.
Then Christopher's mother took the stand. Before she could profess her son's innocence, she had to explain her shackles and fatigues.
She was only in jail, she said, because she had failed to report to her probation officer after she moved. And, she assured the judge, "I am addressing my drug problem."
She said that on the night of the robbery, she had dropped Christopher and Adam off at Adam's house. Then, she said, she and her husband drove to a bar across the street from the gas station and noticed police already at the station. She contended Adam and Christopher wouldn't have had time to walk from Adam's house to the gas station and rob it before she and her husband arrived by car.
The prosecutor, Eric Woltshock, was perplexed. Hadn't Adam just admitted under oath that he'd robbed the station, Woltshock asked. If he'd had time to walk to the station, the prosecutor demanded, "wouldn't Chris have been equally able to make it?"
Christopher's father told the judge that Christopher was a good boy who'd never been in trouble. "He was just truant. He missed school ... so he could stay by my side" after the truck accident. In fact, Christopher was absent for 110 days of his ninth grade year, after which a judge ruled he was a victim of neglect and ordered his parents to get him back in school.
William conceded under questioning by Woltshock that he had a financial interest in trying to make sure Christopher wasn't convicted and sent away. "After the accident, Chris became the breadwinner in the family," he said.
Then, as the prosecutor argued that the judge should convict Christopher, William reached over the chair in front of him, where he'd placed a black duffel bag and a newspaper.
One of the courtroom's deputy sheriffs, Thomas Merks, demanded, "What are you trying to do?"
Before William could answer, the deputy grabbed him and hauled him out of the courtroom.
There was a pocket knife folded into the newspaper.
Merks charged him with possession of a dangerous weapon in a courtroom, disorderly conduct and possession of an instrument of a crime. He was arraigned and held on $10,000 bond.
He would join his wife in the Allegheny County Jail that night.
Children twice failed
While not all the juveniles charged under the new law have as pathetic a story as Christopher, the law is "sucking in kids who are playing out tragic lives," said Edward Mulvey, professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh and an expert in mental illness and juvenile justice.
Christopher was at least fortunate that one of his parents showed up at all of his hearings. Some of the abused and neglected teens charged as adults stand alone in court, with no one to cry for them, no one to bail them out.
Some have been in and out of foster care for years, and aren't sure how to contact a birth parent.
One was Rufus P. He and his two younger brothers had been taken from their mother when he was 8 because caseworkers found no food for them in the house. Two years and three foster placements after that, a juvenile court judge sent the three boys to live with their father. Nine months later, the judge moved them again when their father was charged with molesting his girlfriend's daughter.
Rufus confessed to robbing a pizza delivery man at knifepoint and then beating him. He remained in adult court under the new law, and was sentenced to five to 10 years. He then joined his father in state prison.
Another was Kevin W., who had been taken from his crack-addicted mother when he was 7. A school nurse reported that he was covered with bruises and scars and had a buckle-shaped mark on his chest. He often cared for his 5-year-old and 1-year-old sisters while their mother was out. They did not eat routinely, the caseworker told the judge.
When he was 15, Kevin was in a group of five boys when one of them pulled a gun and demanded money from a 13-year-old boy. Kevin's case was moved to juvenile court, where he pleaded guilty to criminal conspiracy and was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.
A study by the Child Welfare League of America of 9- to 12-year-olds arrested in Sacramento, Calif., found foster children were 67 times more likely to be arrested than children raised by their own parents. "These kids have markers on them," said welfare league Deputy Director Michael Petit.
Retired Illinois Judge Thomas Hornsby, a past president of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges, said children's problems need to be fixed the first time the court sees them -- when it declares they're dependent because they've been abused or neglected. "First the kids come in as dependents, then as status offenders [such as truants or runaways], then as delinquents. We fail them each time. Then they commit crimes and end up in the adult court and prison. You can't talk about delinquency without talking about dependency."
Once they're delinquent, most people's sympathy for them ends, however.
They were pitiable when they were punched by their fathers at 10, but not when they are 15 and punch someone else. "Dependent kids and delinquent kids are often the same thing," said Mark Soler, president of the Youth Law Center in Washington D.C.. "But we are not willing to provide help and services for delinquent kids."
Bilchik, of the Child Welfare League in Washington D.C., said society's policies toward juvenile offenders are upside down. "We have poured millions into getting tough with kids because we fear them. If we really loved our kids, we would pour money up front to prevent abuse and neglect."
A broken family
Immediately after Christopher's father was hauled out of O'Reilly's courtroom for having a knife, the judge found Christopher delinquent -- the equivalent of a "guilty" in adult court. O'Reilly asked the probation officer for a recommendation for sentencing.
The officer suggested boot camp or an after-school program called The Academy.
Christopher's lawyer, Helen M. Lynch, asked the judge not to send him away. "He is the sole support of his family," she said.
"Tragically, he supports his family," prosecutor Woltshock shot back. "It may not be good for him to have that responsibility ... He needs to be rehabilitated."
Christopher protested. "I don't think he knows what is in my best interest. It should be up to me. I have a little sister to take care of. I have a little brother at home and my father ..."
Woltshock cut him off. "Your father was just arrested with a knife in his possession," he told the boy. "What kind of family is he going back to?" he asked the judge.
Lynch kept pleading. "He has made one big mistake. ... If you take him, his 9-year-old sister and brother will be alone tonight."
But O'Reilly didn't want the 16-year-old to have to raise a family. "I think he needs to be removed from that situation. I think this robbery had to do with that same situation -- a struggling family," he told Lynch.
"Boot camp is for wise guys. I don't see this kid as a wise guy. I think he needs the benefit of the on-grounds educational component of The Summit" -- a residential reform school.
As deputy sheriffs cuffed Christopher and took him out of the courtroom, his brother and sister remained in the back. Lynch tried to persuade child welfare caseworkers who'd sat through the hearing to allow the children to go live with an uncle.
The 15-year-old pleaded with them to let him go home. Crying, he assured them he could care for his sister by himself. He'd lost his parents. He'd lost his brother. He begged them not to take his sister from him.
But they did. They placed the children in separate group homes.
After eight months at The Summit, Christopher was moved to a group home called Circle C. He was permitted to go home to his parents four months later, in August 1998. His brother and sister returned home three months after that.
Christopher enrolled in a technical school and has managed to stay out of trouble since.

Suppose I have a XML file and its schema, I want to generate a Java Object tree that is like the original XML schema but slightly different. So I guess I can use DOM or SAX to do the work. If I use JAXB or Castor I may have it problem as I want a different Object struture..
So without knowing too much about XML, here is what I am thinking --- Can I use some XML stylesheet stuff to "alter" the original XML and generate a XML that matches to my desired object struture ? If that's possible, then the second step is to use JXAB or Castor to work on the altered XML file and get the object tree. Does this make sense ?

Yes. However, you will have to author the modified XML Schema that JAXB needs. XSLT will only transforms documents (transformation of the XML Schema would require a separate XSLT � there is no point to that).
For an intro to XSLT see
sample chapter 15
from Elliotte Rusty Harold's
XML 1.1 Bible
Writing complex style-sheets can be difficult as XSLT is more like a functional programming (FP) language (rather than procedural or object-oriented). Also it is easy to produce transforms that do not perform well (until you start thinking in FP terms)

Sculptor Rita Dee creates eloquent works of art depicting horses from found driftwood. She writes equally eloquently about her training, process, and inspirations. Rita Dee wrote to ENM the following.
"I have always loved horses; my parents finally gave in and gave me one when I was 12 years old. We learned the hard way what not to do with a horse! I have a wonderful husband (of 30 years) and five patient and understanding children. My youngest daughter and I ride every day. Everyone in the family enjoys riding.
Driftwood sculpture by artist Rita Dee. Photo by email@example.com
I begin each piece with the position of the legs and then the whole piece is worked together like a spider web. It is very frustrating each time I begin because it does not look much like a horse. Once the form of the horse begins, then the personality starts to form, and I have a blast working on it. The music that I listen to is very important also. I listen to a wide variety from Gregorian Chant and classical to sound tracks from Hollywood Westerns to good old Cowboy music.

Electrochemical performance, biocompatibility, and adhesion of new polymer matrices for solid-state ion sensors.
Ammonium and potassium ion-selective membranes formulated with PVC/hydroxylated PVC, polyurethane/hydroxylated PVC, and moisture-curable silicone rubber matrices are studied in an effort to extend the lifetime of solid-state ion sensors through improved membrane adhesion. The PVC/membranes exhibit electrochemical performance equivalent to that of conventional PVC membranes in terms of slope, detection limit, and selectivity. The polyurethane- and silicone-rubber-based membranes have better adhesion to silicon nitride than do PVC or hydroxylated PVC matrices. Incorporating a silanizing reagent (silicon tetrachloride) significantly improves the adhesion of the polyurethane matrix. The use of silicon tetrachloride in membrane matrices also enhances the electrochemical stability of the interfacial potential between ion-selective polymer-matrix membranes and silver epoxy inner reference electrodes of solid-state sensors. The biocompatibility of the polymer matrices is examined via radiotracer protein adsorption studies and whole blood clotting time measurements. The polyurethane- and silicone-rubber-based membranes exhibit less overall nonspecific protein adsorption than the PVC or hydroxylated PVC matrices.[1]References

Have you read MammyWoos blog? What do you mean no?! Get yourself over there right now, just make sure you come back! Go on, I'll wait…
Ok, done?
I've been reading MammyWoos blog for a while now and I have to admit to being a little bit in love with her. Her writing, her shoes, her devastating wit – hell, how could I not have a girl crush on this woman?!
She writes so bravely, frankly and with a fabulous dark humour about her own battles with postnatal depression and I applaud everything she does.
A few days ago and a new post popped up in my reader, this is it. I settled down with a cup of tea to read, and by the time I had got to the end of the bottom of my mug and the end of the post my world stopped spinning for a second.
Jesus Christ woman, you're RIGHT.
Thanks to MammyWoo and her (possibly gay) therapist, I had a mini breakthrough. I saw things from a new angle, in a different light. A few sentences put a whole new spin on things and I am going to read them every day until I can get my muddled thoughts straight.
If your child became poorly with an illness out of his control, how long would you punish him for?
And if you wouldn't punish him for being ill, write down all the things you would do.
Write down five reasons why it is time to stop punishing yourself.

The only hope you have really is to wash it out with de-natured alcohol and allow to dry.
You would have to confirm the output with a 'scope, I don't have the info on the erm280, it could be 5v TTL or 1v p/p sine wave.
my five axis grinder is fitted with a rotary encoder from heidenhain (erm280). Controls are fanuc 160i.
I think we may ve gotten some oil into the encoder area. and were getting following alarms
1. Pulse Miss
2. Over Current etc,
We cleaned the encoder without dismantling it.
The axis tries to find a position as soon as we press the Jog button (when the machine is started). When we press the B Axis button to try to jog it... it is either locked and gives and OVC alarm. or it momentarily rotates at high speed and generated a Axis Excess Error.
any idea of what is causing this.
also how do i clean the area betweent the reader and the ring. The gap is too small. We may have some oil there. But is this the cause.!!!

hey Al thanks for the info....we finished cleaning the rotary drum and the encoder reader with the alcohol.
Unfortunately we had to remove the encoder to be able to clean it correctly. it contained moisture and bit of oil.
Also the surface has straight lines...very light tho as if it was lightly rubbing on the drum or something (which is impossible with the two strips on the side).
but now after mounting (using a .15mm gap filler as advised) the encoder does not display the change in reading when we manually rotate the B Axis by hand. Nor are we able to move the axis using MPG handwheel. All other four axis show change in readings and can be moved in MPG JOG and home conditions.
But the Baxis when trying to jog, oscillates in +/- direction and causes a 436 : Soft Thermal (OVC) alarm after which we have to restart the machine.
And yes we have checked the 5V supply and it is pretty good!!!

Advance to the Rear
Union Colonel Brackenby (Melvyn Douglas) and his second-in-command, Captain Heath (Glenn Ford), attempt to command a rather inept cavalry unit during the Civil War.

In spite of their ridiculous slapstick antics, they manage to carry out their mission. This comedy was based on Company of Cowards, a novel by Jack Schaefer. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

Ironside: Split Second to an Epitaph, Part 2
In this second half of a two-part story (originally telecast as a single two-hour episode), Ironside (Raymond Burr) is in the hospital awaiting an operation that may cure his paralysis--or bring about his death if things go wrong. In typical fashion, the detective is able to put aside his own worries and solve a number of problems facing his fellow patients. Meanwhile, a homicidal drug thief steps up his efforts to bump off Ironside, who is the only witness to his most recent killing. The huge guest cast includes Joseph Cotten as the chief surgeon, Troy Donahue as a priest, former child star Margaret O'Brien as a patient, and future Jaws costar Lorraine Gary as a nurse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

During the early days of World War II, while the United States was massing its forces for the war, England hastily plans commando raids against the German forces to keep them at bay until America's troops enter the war. As a part of this plan, the Allies create the 1st Special Service Force to plan and carry out an attack on Norway in order to tie up the German forces. This commando force of Canadian soldiers and American GIs is headed by Lt. Col. Robert T. Frederick (William Holden), a paper-pusher given his first field command. Antagonism immediately erupts between Canadian Maj. Alan Crown (Cliff Robertson) and American Maj. Cliff Bricker (Vince Edwards). But Frederick utilizes their mutual dislike as a basis for a rivalry that turns this rag-tag group of misfits into a disciplined fighting force. But now that Frederick's men are ready to fight, Frederick receives word that the Norway mission has been canceled. After appealing to Washington for another assignment for the commandos, the brigade is sent on a patrol near the German lines in southern Italy. The brigade captures an enemy-held village and is then given the seemingly impossible task of taking Mt. La Difensa. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Time for Giving is the British title for the American comedy film Generation. This exercise in late-sixties "mod"-ness is based on William Goodhart's Broadway play, which originally starred Henry Fonda. David Janssen takes over Fonda's role as the harried father of rebellious daughter Kim Darby. It was bad enough when Darby married kooky Peter Duel and moved to Greenwich Village. Now Darby is pregnant, and she and her husband insist upon partaking of that new hippie craze known as "natural childbirth," dispensing with the aid of an obstetrician. Fortunately for the Establishment status quo, Darby's husband gets cold feet, and loyal family doctor Carl Reiner is brought in when the kid is ready to come out of the chute. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lost Flight
In 1966, producer Frank Price came up with a TV series concept about a group of people lost on an uncharted island who are forced to carve out their own civilization. No, it wasn't Gilligan's Island, but a more serious endeavor titled
. When the pilot episode didn't sell, Price put the idea on the back burner until 1969 when, in collaboration with writer Dean Riesner, he dreamed up the two-hour pilot film, Lost Flight. This time, an airliner captained by Steve Bannerman (Lloyd Bridges) crashes on a remote island in the Pacific. Among Bannerman's fellow castaways are Gina Talbot (Anne Francis), Merle Barnaby (Billy Dee Williams), Glenn Wallup (Ralph Meeker), Jonesey (Andrew Prine), Charlie Burnett (the character who gets killed off early, played by Michael-James Wixted), and, as the resident troublemaker, Eddie Randolph (Bobby Van). Given a one-shot telecast in early 1970, Lost Flight didn't fly as a series...nor did Price's like-minded effort, 1976's Stranded. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This Savage Land
This Savage Land is the story of the Prides, a pioneer family homesteading in 19th century Kansas. Barry Sullivan and Kathryn Hays play the mother and father of the Pride brood, with Andrew Prine and Brenda Scott as the oldest children (Prine and Scott had been married and divorced before the cameras began turning). The plot covers the westward trek from Ohio to Kansas, early tussles in a hostile town, and the courtship and marriage between widower Sullivan and fellow homesteader Hays, whose father is murdered by vigilantes. Made for television, This Savage Land was originally telecast September 12 and 19, 1966, as the two-part inaugural episode of the weekly TV series The Road West. Both parts were packaged into a theatrical feature to take box-office advantage of George C. Scott, here guest-starring as the vigilante leader. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A founder and prominent citizen in the town of Lincoln, Chisum is slow to act when ruthless land baron Lawrence Murphy (Forrest Tucker) moves in on several local businesses and takes them over. By the time Chisum and his ally, fellow rancher Henry Tunstall (Patrick Knowles), decide to go to the law, Murphy's already bought and paid for influence there, as well. The only recourse left to the cattlemen is to take Murphy on in all-out range war that embroils everyone in the county, including Tunstall's hand Billy the Kid Bonney (Geoffrey Deuel) and his comrade Pat Garrett (Glenn Corbett). Screenwriter and producer Andrew J. Fenady based the script for Chisum (1970) on his own short story, a very loosely fact-based account of Chisum, Billy the Kid and their involvement in the Lincoln County wars. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Night Slaves
James Franciscus and his wife Lee Grant take a vacation in a faraway, fogbound village. Before we get a chance to ask "Why not go to the beach?" Franciscus awakens suddenly in the middle of the night to see several of the villagers compliantly boarding trucks; among these glassy-eyed passengers is his own wife. The trucks drive off into the mists. The next day, Franciscus is the only person who remembers this strange occurrence. The title of this TV movie should give you a good idea of what's afoot. Night Slaves is a 1970s spin on the old Shock Theatre favorite It Came From Outer Space. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Anderson Silva Wants Jon Jones Superfight in New York at 190 Pounds
Anderson Silva appeared disinterested in a superfight with UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, but he appears to be coming around to the idea of competing in what would be one of the biggest fights in MMA history.
Jorge Guimaraes, Silva's agent, recently stated that his client does not believe a belt should be on the line in a potential fight with Jones, though he is considering the possibility of a 190-pound superfight in New York sometime in late 2013 (via SporTV, h/t MiddleEasy.com).
The UFC has been battling to have MMA legalized in New York state for years, though UFC president Dana White appears more confident than ever that his promotion will be able to hold an event in the Empire State in the near future.
If White's beliefs have backing, a Silva superfight could come to fruition at Madison Square Garden for the UFC's 20th anniversary in November, whether it be against Jones or welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.
Before fighting either of those fellow titleholders, Silva will likely defend his middleweight belt, as confirmed by Guimaraes. All signs point to that title defense coming against Chris Weidman, who is undefeated and coming off of an impressive knockout win over Mark Munoz.
Will Anderson Silva fight Jon Jones in 2013?
Nothing is set in stone as far as New York being able to hold MMA events in 2013 or the champions signing a contract to fight one another, but things appear to be coming together at the right time, and that could mean the most highly anticipated fight in MMA history is now only months away.

River Valley built a big lead and then had to fend off Ridgedale for a 74-62 non-league boys basketball win Thursday night.
Coaches can always find something to fault after a game, but Marion Harding girls basketball coach Evan Geyer did not have much to chew on after his

There were a couple of occasions this fall when River Valley High School junior cross country runner Kayla Radcliff wasn't sure how she would fare.
His stat line may say otherwise, but Sam Thompson's game has never been more productive.
I'm the Cleveland Browns' worst nightmare ... a fan without hope.
Deer hunting is over for many outdoorsmen. They've already taken one during archery time or the first days of gun season or just don't care to hunt them.
Ridgedale's boys basketball team improved its record to 3-1 with a 71-63 triumph at Mount Gilead on Saturday.
Brandon Allen and Austin Terrill both netted 20 points Monday to power North Union's boys basketball team past host Triad 81-62.

Boys high school basketball results are as follows:
OK, we should be numb to this kind of pain by now.
The Bowl Championship Series came calling once again for Ohio State, albeit not the game the Buckeyes wanted.
They had a pair of 100-yard rushers for the fourth straight game, played turnover-free ball, converted on all four of their red zone opportunities, scored 24 unanswered points, led going in the fourth quarter ...
Michigan State shook up the BCS title chase again Saturday night.
At worst, the front five battled the Spartans to a draw in the trenches. Braxton Miller had good protection most of the time and, if anything, waited too long before deciding to run.
Urban Meyer finally has his own chapter in the pantheon of Ohio State coaching disappointments.
Ridgedale's girls basketball team notched its first win of the season and handed Northmor its initial loss of the campaign with a 38-31 decision Friday night.
Connor Cook, the kid from Hinckley spurned by Ohio State, is the starting quarterback for Michigan State. Denicos Allen, the kid from Hamilton snubbed by Ohio State, is the No.1 tackler on the nation's No.1 defense for Michigan State.
It was a tale of two halves Friday night at River Valley and Pleasant's good half was a little better than its bad half.
The text buzzed into Mickey Marotti's phone sometime during the BCS National Championship Game. Urban Meyer was in south Florida.
Ridgedale's boys basketball team handed Wynford its first loss of the season with a 77-75 decision in overtime Thursday night.
College notes highlight Marion natives who are making an impact in college sports. Stats are through Wednesday. Several teams did not compete in the past week because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Matt Green distributed the football all over the place with his hands and his feet this fall for the River Valley football team.
This isn't a conspiracy worthy of Oliver Stone or even Jerry Seinfeld. There are no grassy knolls. No second spitters. No enigmas wrapped in a mystery tucked inside a riddle.

This season has been a huge disappointment for the area I hunt, and I know many others feel the same way. During bow and firearms seasons I saw a total of 6 does! I hunt near Wisconsin Rapids and my family owns four properties that total about 135 acres. I hunted every weekend of bow season in the morning twice and evening once, for about 2.5 hours per sit. Now if you ask me I would say that seeing 8 does and only 4 bucks plus a few button bucks is pretty poor! During the rifle season between 6 people we only shot two deer, a buck and a doe. I only saw 6 deer, all does. I stand hunted, drove and still hunted for 5 days, covering all of our property! During bow season I never had a shot at a doe, and now the area is in Earn A Buck watch. So,.... I have decided that if my zone is EAB next year I will not shoot any deer, because if there are so few deer and I have to kill 3 deer (A doe and her two fawns of next season) to harvest my buck it is not ethical. As a sportsman I realize that I would only be doing more damage to an already decimated deer herd! I don't know who the hell the DNR is kidding but there are not near as many deer as they try to tell us there are.
Please let me know what you think about these things, I am kind of lost as to what to do to solve the problem on my own. Thanks.

Foot ulcers pose a serious chronic problem for people suffering from diabetes and diabetic foot. These open sores on the foot are very difficult to heal, and they often reappear again and again in the same areas of the foot. Diabetics who have been treated for chronic foot ulcers build up resistance to antibiotic treatments. They risk massive infection and even amputation. While the best treatment is always preventative (diabetics should be constantly on the look out for small abrasions, ingrown toenails, calluses, blisters and corns that could lead to foot ulcers), an old treatment for dealing with tough infections is making a comeback. Maggot debridement therapy � yes, I mean maggots as in fly larvae � provides a viable alternative to traditional antibiotics.
The treatment is applied as follows:
The maggots are placed in a sealed shell-like bandage that lies over the wound. The dressing allows air to flow in and out (so that the maggots can breathe!) and the wound itself acts as a kind of �ground floor�. Most treatments are applied for a period of two days because as the maggots eat they grow and attempt to leave the wound. People with severe infections will require several two-day treatments.
Maggot debridement therapy has a few advantages over the more traditional surgical approach. First of all, maggots work continuously during the two-day period to rid the wound of the dead infected tissue. A physician has a one-time shot to clean out the wound, and often additional dead or diseased tissue forms between visits. Surgeons are also not as precise as maggots when it comes to removing only dead or diseased tissue. The human eye has its limitations and often manual debridement with a scalpel results in additional bleeding or increased size of the wound. The larvae, on the other hand, have no limitations when it comes to leaving the healthy, viable tissue alone. Maggots also are useful for people who have frequent infections, like diabetics, and who have built up a resistance to antibiotics. Not only are maggots a promising and long-term alternative to antibiotics, scientists also believe that the material they secrete into the wound possesses antimicrobial properties. Maggots clean the wound of dead tissue and disinfect the area all in one process.
While the best method is to avoid foot ulcers to begin with, the return of maggot debridement therapy is an exciting development for diabetics who suffer from the chronic infections of diabetic foot.

The selloff in restaurant stocks kickstarted by tepid Q3 reports from Chipotle and McDonald's...
The selloff in restaurant stocks kickstarted by tepid Q3 reports from Chipotle and McDonald's has analyst banter focusing in on which names investors should jump on with the sector getting battered. Brian Sozzi sees Dominos Pizza (DPZ -2.8%) as sitting in oversold terrioty , while Morningstar thinks Burger King (BKW -4.7%) and Wendy's (WEN -2.7%) could ride improved menus to surprising results.

This news story has 4 comments:
Raykroc is correct in his two points, but on the other hand, WEN is at a 10-year low and is partially through a revamp. Plus, aren't most of Wendy's outlets in the Americas, meaning they are less exposed to the Eurozone issues that McDonald's is? If Wendy's retooling and brand repositioning works, then it has nowhere to go but up. But I could see it dropping a little more in the short term. The key is whether the changes Wendy's is making to it's look and menu will be so far reaching that it shows up on the radar of those who eat at Chipotle or the Cantina Bell menu at Taco Bell. Even if it doesn't appeal to that crowd, it wouldn't take much to woo customers from McDonald's, taste-wise. Wendy's already serves better tasting food.
As for cost averaging down, the only real question is what made you buy it at the higher price? If you still feel good about the reasons that prompted that sale, then yes, buy more now. If your faith in the company's management has lessened, then don't.
About cost averaging, here's an interesting angle:
I agree with this in general, but then, I'm partial to contrarian views. I've just begun looking at Wendy's, personally, but I like it because I think the market is about to contract for a while, and possibly the global economy, too, and I think things like WEN or SBUX will continue to do well because what they sell is relatively cheap. People can, however, put off purchasing a new iPhone . . .

Older women have more trouble with their feet than younger ones, often because fat pads on the bottom of the feet tend to deteriorate in the aging process. Many foot problems for older women can be alleviated simply by wearing properly fitted, well-constructed shoes that provide cushioning and have a soft, flexible upper that will conform to the shape of their feet. Shoes made of leather that "breathes" can also reduce the possibility of skin irritation.
Soles should be lightweight, with enough flexibility and shock-absorbing quality to provide solid footing and not be slippery. Low-heeled shoes provide greater stability, more protection for the feet, and greater comfort. Because older women often have circulatory problems, they have a special need to keep their feet warm in cold weather, to prevent frostbite or chilblains. Most importantly, keep walking and moving around every day so that all the systems in the legs and feet remain stretched and circulation stays healthy.

Monday Edition
A French economic advisor's tongue-in-cheek attack on corporate culture went largely unnoticed when published in May. Corinne Maier's Bonjour Paresse (Hello Laziness) is subtitled The Art and Necessity of Doing the Least Work Possible for Your Employer, and her employer is not amused. The author's upcoming disciplinary hearing has both the press and the unions coming to her defense. One U.K. article calls the book "an elegantly written call to arms to the 'neo-slaves' of middle management ... condemned to dress up as clowns all week and waste their lives in pointless meetings." (If you parlez francais, this article in Ici will tell you more.) Mme. Maier's next book may well be Bonjour, Reprint: The Art of Letting Your Employer Prove You Were Right.
