Parsnips are pretty gnarly looking, but nothing compared to a few other root vegetables out there, so if you're new to adding slightly less known roots to your diet, I would suggest this be one of your first. It resembles a carrot, but it's flesh is white and I usually find them a bit larger than carrots, with a more distinct taper. They also have a slightly sweeter taste, especially when cooked, but if they are more mature they can sometimes even be a bit spicy. You can eat them raw or cooked, in pretty much any way you would a carrot, they're a pretty versatile root.
Parsnip Chips / serves 4, unless you have a large appetite, as we do, then it serves 2
It's important to slice these pretty thinly and as evenly as you can. If you have a mandolin, use it, but a sharp knife and some patience works too. These are not as crispy as potato chips, but they were still seriously addictive (I probably could have eaten the whole parsnip if Scott wasn't around).

I suppose there's no hard rule, but something close to, 'be a super famous world-class athlete, get a very hot girlfriend.' Jenson Button, recent Formula One World Champion certainly scored pretty high up the sexy celebrity girlfriend food chain with Japanase-Spanish mixed model, Jessica Michibata, and, yes, of course, there is a yacht involved in this story. Damn you celebrities and your hot girl-catching yachts!
Jessica Michibata flashed the uppers, the lowers, the frontals, the rears, and most everything else between in some skimpy bikinis clinging as I would to her sextastic hot body over the weekend in the South of France. Sometimes, life is unfair, but at least we get to ogle. Enjoy.

Steiner Binoculars have been a top choice for hunters, birders and military professionals for over 50 years because of their rugged dependability, quality lenses, and thoroughly-tested quality. Binoculars by Steiner are German-engineered optics, with options available for most binocular applications today, from hunting, birding and nature observation to high stress activities like watersports or military operations. Steiner focuses on continuously advancing the sports optics industry, with their innovative rubber armoring, waterproofing to depths greater than most other binoculars, and lens coatings that provide unbelievable light transmission. The Steiner Nighthunter XP High Definition Lens coating in particular provides the brightest images in night binoculars anywhere, giving you the best chance to spot elusive game at dusk and dawn, when other binoculars might let you down. Be sure to look through the catalogs to the right for more information on the design, technology and materials in Steiner Binoculars.
Steiner Binoculars are made keeping two things in mind: innovation is key, and quality cannot be compromised. Just because there have been great strides made by Steiner over the years doesn't mean they allow the quality to slip. All the fancy bells and whistles in the world don't matter without great glass ground and polished to perfection before being treated with advanced lens coatings, a tough body and an ergonomic design that feels great to hold for long stretches of time. Fortunately, Steiner-Optik Binoculars have all these qualities in spades, which has allowed them to add new features, such as an integrated compass, which is one of Steiner's numerous innovations. With their binoculars now available in over 45 countries, Steiner has grown from a company of one man in 1947 to over 300 individuals today, all working together to make the best possible binoculars for you.

Andrew Garfield Movies
Andrew Garfield
arrived on the Hollywood scene in the mid- to late 2000s, with supporting roles in a pair of big-screen releases: he performed alongside
Robert Redford
Tom Cruise
, and
Meryl Streep
's directorial outing
Lions for Lambs
(2007) and then signed for a part in
Terry Gilliam
's fanciful morality tale
Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
(2009). But it turned out to be another 2009 project that gave him his breakthrough when he earned strong reviews for his work in the Red Riding trilogy. He parlayed that into an impressive 2010 when he starred in the Never Let Me Go, and played the co-founder of Facebook in David Fincher's The Social Network. Hot from that, he signed to play Spider-Man in a reboot of the successful superhero franchise. The first film in that new series hit screens in summer of 2012. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) and writer Alex Garland (28 Days Later) team up to adapt Remains of the Day author Kazuo Ishiguro's introspective sci-fi novel about a group of unsuspecting boarding-school students who make a horrifying discovery about themselves. Sheltered teens Kathy (Carey Mulligan), Ruth (Keira Knightley), and Tommy (Andrew Garfield) all grew up at a remote English boarding school, and now they're hungry to explore the real world. Their dreams of freedom are soon stifled, however, upon learning that they are nothing more than clones created specifically for organ harvesting. Now, in addition to confronting their own mortality, all three must come to terms with a lifetime of emotions and unfulfilled longings while pondering their true purpose for being. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven) teams with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) to explore the meaning of success in the early 21st century from the perspectives of the technological innovators who revolutionized the way we all communicate. The year was 2003. As prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the Internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became mired in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall. Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout. And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur might have let his greed eclipse his better judgment. The Social Network was based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Set in the present day, director Terry Gilliam's fantastical morality tale follows the traveling show of the mysterious Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) -- a man who once won a bet with the Devil himself, and possesses the unique ability to guide the imagination of others. Many centuries ago, Dr. Parnassus won immortality in a bet that found the malevolent Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) coming up short. While few would be foolish enough to try their luck against the powers of darkness a second time, Dr. Parnassus did precisely that -- this time trading his mortality for youth on the understanding that his firstborn would become the property of Mr. Nick when the child reaches his or her 16th birthday.
Flash-forward to the present day, and Dr. Parnassus' daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole), is about to celebrate her sweet sixteen. Dr. Parnassus is desperate to save his little girl from her fiery fate, so when Mr. Nick arrives to collect, he senses the good doctor's malaise and cooks up a wager too enticing to refuse: Dr. Parnassus and Mr. Nick will each compete to seduce five souls, with possession of Valentina going to whoever manages to complete the task first. As the competition begins to heat up, a mysterious man named Tony (Heath Ledger) appears. Could Tony be the one man capable of helping Dr. Parnassus win the competition and save Valentina? While the sudden death of prominent Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus player Heath Ledger in January of 2008 left Gilliam and company scrambling to find a means of salvaging the film -- which was already well into principal photography at the time -- the cavalry soon arrived in the form of Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, who each serve as alternate-dimension versions of Tony when the character crosses through a paranormal mirror. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Red Riding: 1980
The Red Riding Trilogy continues in this sequel that picks up six years after the events of the first film. The Yorkshire Ripper is continuing to prey on the young women of a dead-end town, and the local police have proven completely ineffective in solving the crimes. When Manchester detective Peter Hunter (Paddy Considine) arrives in Yorkshire to investigate, he discovers a number of inconsistencies in the official report, and begins to suspect foul play. Unfortunately for both Detective Hunter and the growing list of victims, the local police seem unusually tight-lipped about the case. Perhaps their refusal to aid Detective Hunter in his investigation has something to do with his previous visit to Yorkshire in 1974, when he rubbed the local authorities the wrong way while investigating a shooting. As Detective Hunter delves deeper into the case, it becomes increasingly obvious that incompetence isn't likely to blame for the lack of progress made by Yorkshire police. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Red Riding [Film Series]
This most unusual film project from Britain - which clocks in at just over 5 ½ hours - actually consists of three separate features, each by a different director and done in a unique style, recounting the search for the notorious Yorkshire Ripper - a serial killer who terrorized the female population of Yorkshire, England on and off between the mid-1970s and the very early 1980s. Screenwriter Tony Grisoni and directors Julian Jarrold (1974), James Marsh (1980) and Anand Tucker (1983) shape the material into an epic chronicle not simply about the Ripper, but about the depravity that lurks on all levels of society, turning up most potently in the interworkings of law enforcement, big business, clergy and organized crime. The trilogy originally aired on Britain's Channel Four network, but received a theatrical and on-demand release in the United States courtesy of IFC Films. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Red Riding: 1983
The Red Riding Trilogy draws to a close in this installment that finds Detective Chief Superintendent Maurice Jobson (David Morrissey) realizing that the Yorkshire Ripper may still be at large, despite the fact that someone has already been convicted of the heinous crimes. When a young girl is abducted in an incident that bears a chilling resemblance to the crimes of the Yorkshire Ripper, Chief Superintendent Jobson is forced to consider the possibility that he helped to put the wrong man behind bars. Meanwhile, local solicitor John Piggott (Mark Addy) stumbles onto evidence of a massive cover up, and wages a one-man mission to uncover the truth.

Adapted from author Philippa Gregory's historical novel of the same name, director Justin Chadwick's atmospheric period drama follows the fierce competition between sisters Mary (Scarlett Johansson) and Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) to win the affections of Tudor king Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Anne and Mary Boleyn are under pressure from their father and uncle to help maintain the family's rich legacy and ensure their further prosperity by winning the affections of none other than the king of England (Eric Bana). But life in the royal court is far different than it was in the countryside where these two sisters were raised, and before long their bid to earn the love of the king has transformed two once-happy sisters into bitter rivals. At first, it appears that Mary has triumphed in winning the king's favor by becoming his mistress and bearing him an illegitimate child. Despite her early success, however, Mary has underestimated just how clever and cunning her sibling can truly be. Not only does the relentless Anne manage to edge aside her sister in the eyes of King Henry, but she also succeeds in averting his gaze from his wife, Queen Catherine of Aragon, as well. Mary is driven by genuine affection for King Henry, while her sister Anne has only kept up the charade in a desperate bid to become the queen of England. Now, the growing chasm between two sisters is mirrored on a larger scale as England becomes divided more than ever before. As the consequences of their actions threaten to alter the course of an entire nation, these two sisters will ultimately discover that the only place they will find true strength and loyalty is in family, and that no matter what the consequences they will forever be bound by blood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man looking to shed his former identity in order to move beyond his traumatic past discovers that the past and the future are inexorably linked in director John Crowley's feature adaptation of a novel by author Jonathan Trigell. Terry (Peter Mullan) is a caseworker whose job it is to help people create new lives. His latest charge is a young man with a troubled past who eventually decides on the new name Jack (Andrew Garfield). Jack has decided to start a new life in Manchester, where no one is aware of his sordid history. As Jack begins his new job in a new town, he quickly catches the attention of beautiful co-worker Michelle (Katie Lyons). While Michelle's advances are unmistakable, Jack remains somewhat awkward in his new skin and the initial encounters between the pair are somewhat clumsy. Later, as the two new lovers begin experiencing the thrill of connecting with a kindred soul, Jack performs a heroic feat that finds him celebrated as a local hero, and it begins to look like he has successfully made the transition into his new life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

African-American Culture is Topic of Upcoming MiraCosta College Conference
Hundreds of students from throughout Southern California are expected to attend a series of Feb. 8 workshops at MiraCosta College that will focus on African-American cultural issues.
The United Black Student Conference, dubbed Leave Your Prints on History, is part of the Oceanside Campus's Black History Month celebrations and will include free food and entertainment. High school and college students from Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles and San Diego counties have been invited, said Dr. Bruce Hoskins, a MiraCosta College sociology professor who is organizing the event.
Workshops will include: "Who's Allowed to Use the N-word"; "The New Jim Crow – The War on Drugs and America's Incarceration of Black Men"; "Writing Your Truth – Exploring Spoken Word Poetry"; and "How to Make a Million Dollars."
The day will include video clips of historic events in recent African-American history, including the inauguration of President Barack Obama and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. The San Diego Slam Team will be reciting an hour of spoken word poetry and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. Step Team also will perform.
What's the point?
"We want to get African-American high school students excited about coming to college," Dr. Hoskins said. "We want to let them know about the topics we explore and what we have to offer. We want to give the students who show up a better understanding and a stronger sense of African-American history and culture."
Registration for the conference begins at 7:30 a.m., and the workshops get underway at 8:30. Online registration is also open at
. The first 100 people who register will receive a free t-shirt, and the first 150 who register are guaranteed of getting a free lunch.
The United Black Student Conference is the latest in a series of MiraCosta College efforts to foster an inclusive atmosphere on campus. It will be followed March 22 by the annual Hermanos Unidos/Brothers United HUBU Conference, which is aimed at providing an opportunity for young men to discuss strategies to overcome educational and personal challenges that affect men of color in higher education. The HUBU conference aims to motivate and inspire students through topics that address real life issues.
MiraCosta College also sponsors a
program with the Oceanside Unified School District. GEAR UP is an acronym for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness. It enables MiraCosta and the Oceanside Unified School District to work with and track students at Cesar Chavez and Jefferson middle schools through their first year of college.
It pays for counselors and tutors to work closely with some 1,000 students and their families until the youths get into college. Students also will have access to various resources and will be eligible for future scholarships from the MiraCosta College Foundation.
MiraCosta College is located at 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside.

The ran -- the closing last week at a five year high the start of the earnings season.
Weighing on investors' minds -- joining us now the for the kind of give us a full cost Bob Kaiser S&P capital IQ vice president Bob thank you for being here.
I thought I'd read my mistaken that the the estimates of the next round of the earnings were -- -- Back on October 1 and they've been ratcheted down and down and down when it comes to.
You know earnings growth why is.
They've ratcheted down quite a bit now beginning of October -- looking for basically doubled their digit earnings growth in the fourth current 10% 103 point 4%.
Right on top revenue growth so big cut its huge -- I think just a rationalizations.
Expectations given that the economy is still remains relatively -- and we're still dealing with.
Large amounts -- -- you know -- Fiscal clip which could -- his current market are most -- drag.
Well you know we've we've been taking a really big picture view of the fiscal cliff -- -- and we've always thought that it -- is unthinkable that we go over the course.
-- that the consequences of -- to mortgage.
And congress unfortunately dealt with first step which was the tax policy tax code.
And -- -- equal more uncertainty with what they're underground.
And it's just a huge question mark and we've been looking for congress -- sort of wrap this up -- And produced a report what we've been referred to as a stimulus for -- trying to boost confidence and optimism in the economy.
And frankly congress doesn't -- -- there are two very strong start it's what we look at sectors that you think we'll have some positive results which ones feel like.
Can consumer discretionary financial -- be very strong this year but that's going to be predicated on the economy continuing to build momentum around the housing sector.
And it really -- We're taking -- cautious two week we have yes and he could end up at 16100 this year okay based on more of the same the economy continues to grow about Obama doing along and a half percent exactly.
But the fiscal cliff when everything's said and done he recalled the cliff but it's tightening its fiscal tightening -- and you have to ask yourself what's going to offset fiscal tightening.
And the Bernanke fed is already doing everything they can -- they've gone all in on housing.
So we're looking to signals from the housing sector starting in February and march when he -- -- -- There will -- -- is seasonally slow but by February march we should start to get some clear signals as we put the put behind us if the economy is gonna ramp up.
And start to produce that double digit earnings growth at the end of this year.
Which was originally expected showed a quarter pulling out not to companies have a lot of cash on hand at that they -- -- waiting to you know invest in capex and and and hiring what have you but.
It's 2% payroll tax hike hurts everyone -- so that must -- consumer discretionary and in some formal fashion it well unless.
You know if it's 2% readjustment of the payroll tax yet and a wealthier households are gonna pay a bit more let's just that that the consequence of this political situation room.
But the economy the housing sector could yet be a huge engine of growth you know if it doesn't get -- rails.
And it really comes down to confidence and what the economy and particularly the unemployment rate is going to do.
Because we're bumping along -- to seven point 8% unemployment rate for resumes moving lower at 75 by June July August something like that.
You have reasonably how things gonna do better in housing can overcome.
The fiscal right machinery interconnected it very much so -- -- uninteresting gets -- special thank you so much for thinking about it.
Thank you.

Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration celebrate 75 years, with a Mass by Bishop Kicanas
Sunday, November 21st, 2010The Benedictine Sisters arrived in Tucson, Arizona from Missouri in August, 1935 (when the population here was only 39,000) and have been praying and worshiping for 75 years since then. Bishop Gerald Kicanas officiated over their celebratory Mass today at their chapel at 800 N. Country Club. Concelebrants were Rev. Pat Crino and Rev. Miguel Mariano. (see correction below in comments)
Bishop Kicanas spoke of St. Benedict's teachings saying that he believed that "God is present in every human being, that every person is a gift of God". He also preached that "community is important, all can be a family/household in Christ." The Bishop emphasized that Benedict taught that we need to "seek God above all", as these Benedictine sisters have done for 75 years in Tucson.
What I found particularly moving in today's Mass was hearing the sweet, lovely voices of the Sisters' Choir, especially singing the communion song's lyrics "worthy are the ones who believe to receive the goodness of God."
"The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration are a contemporary monastic community with a distinctive dedication to the Eucharist." Their information card states that they "serve the Church through our contemplative prayer, and witness to God's presence in our world through community life, hospitality and a ministry of the Word"…
The monastery was build in 1940 by local architect Roy Place, who is perhaps best known for his 1928 Pima County Courthouse downtown. This monastery has also been called "The Pink Rose of the Desert".
The St. Benedictine chapel is open every day, all day. Learn more about them at www.tucsonmonastery.com, phone 520-325-6401, email: email@example.com. They have very nice items for sale in their gift shop, which is also open every day.
I wrote about them last November, 2009 when they hosted the Tucson Boys Choir concert there (click here).

New U.S. Trailer for Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
by Matt Goldberg Posted 196 days ago
You may have seen the U.K. trailer for director Edgar Wright's The World's End previously, but the new U.S. trailer has now been unveiled with plenty of new footage to scope out. The story centers on five childhood friends (played by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan, Paddy Considine, and Martin Freeman) going through an epic pub crawl in order to reach the fabled pub, "The World's End". But as they make their way to the pub, they discover that the fate of humankind is on the line. The humor seen in the U.S. trailer is just as sharp and funny as the jokes in the U.K. trailer. Also, after rampaging zombies in Shaun of the Dead and cordial fascists in Hot Fuzz, killer robots feel like a natural antagonist for the conclusion of the "Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy".
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film also stars Rosamund Pike. The World's End opens in the U.K. on July 19th and in the U.S. on August 23rd.

Thursdays have become the official after-work night for gathering for foosball at Wolverine. It's possible that Tuesday might be better because the crowd is larger on Thursdays. We'll try it for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Thanks to Nate and Micah, the new table was installed last evening and is ready for action. While it's a coin-op, we're going to leave it "no charge" to encourage new people to try it.
A Friday (May 6th) happy hour get-together is being planned at Wolverine. If we can get enough people to sign-up, we'll have a small DYP tournament. If you would like more info, visit our Facebook page.

Who Knew Vinyl Could Be Cool!
Friday, August 29th, 2008I had no idea that the world of vinyl wall art/decals are endless with fantastic choices. You could just go crazy and wouldn't even have to pick up a paint brush. Wall "art" that anyone can do and anywhere, too. Favorite places to use this handy art is a nursery (easy removal when baby grows up and ducks become super heroes), dorm room or apartment where the landlord says "no paint", and your boring white walled office.
Vinylwallart.com has eclectic wall decals that could be incorporated in your new baby's nursery or child's room. If your child's nickname is "little monkey" look what vinyl art could be in his/her room. Look at all their kid decals for fun!
Zozoliving.com has over-sized graphics in a variety of colors like sky blue, brown, orange, lime, magenta, yellow, and custom colors. I am always looking for good design that is affordable and fresh. The paisley graphics have many fresh colors and are inexpensive even for the college student. This would be great in a dorm room to personalize the space and make it feel more like home.
Sometimes our offices are sterile looking and need to be more hip and add some life to those boring walls. Here are some office pics from flickr that I would love to add in my office.
I am loving vinyl!!!

From the October 24, 2009 Pajamas Media
October 24, 2009
by Kacie Marano
Jeremiah Norris
The media and government policymakers are abuzz over the possibility of health cooperatives replacing the public option in the current health care reform debate. Earlier this month Hudson Institute convened perhaps one of the only public forums to discuss the pros and cons of such a proposal. Left and right agreed that health cooperatives are not the answer for health care reform.
Even the neutral Congressional Budget Office, in their recent score of the Baucus health proposal, agrees: "The proposed cooperatives had very little effect on the estimates of total enrollment in the exchanges or federal costs because, as they are described in the specifications, they seem unlikely to establish a significant market presence in many areas of the country or to noticeably affect federal subsidy payments."
The biggest problems with cooperatives relate to structure. According to Robert Rosenberg — former CEO of the first health cooperative in Washington, D.C., Group Health Association (GHA) – reasons for his organization's failure included internal problems such as naïve management, inability to secure investment capital from banks, the entrenchment of unions, and the costs imposed by a high option model. In addition, external forces such as the onset of competition in the 1980s from large national groups such as Kaiser Permanente, constraints of the structure of health care, and lack of competitive edge to control hospital costs also helped doom the GHA. While health cooperatives can be successful — as evident from health cooperatives in Washington State, Idaho, Minnesota, and Wisconsin — they aren't a promising model upon which to build a national network for improving access to health care throughout the United States.
Conservative critics of the idea are equally dismissive. A major criticism is the unrealistic ambition to simply restart cooperatives, an idea that will prove next to impossible to break into the current market. Others are wary that the health cooperative rhetoric is simply the public option with a different name. If the government provides the capital to front end cooperatives, if the government picks the people to spearhead the venture, and if the government controls the rates, then what really is the difference?
Despite the long history of health cooperatives in the United States, there are only two remaining health cooperatives in the entire country. Yet this poor record has not stopped the Senate Finance Committee from putting forth $6 billion to help restart more cooperatives. This may seem like a lot, but in reality it is far from enough to make health cooperatives a viable competitive solution. Even if they can work in specific locations, they are unlikely to establish enough of a competitive presence within the health care market. This is largely because of the near impossibility of mass replications of cooperatives, regardless of how much money is being put in. The basis of the cooperative concept is community ownership and control. For instance, members elect the board of directors from among the membership. If the government subsidizes them with $6 billion in seed capital, would they still be cooperatives in anything other than their name? Would they not be too big to fail, requiring public takeover and ownership?
It seems what the health cooperative and overall health care reform bills have succeeded in doing is forging together liberals and conservatives united in disagreement. While it is nice to have diverse people agree on issues, an agreement that an idea will fail won't revamp the health care system. This rare agreement must beg a larger question. If so many people agree that health cooperatives and the current health reform bills in Congress are so wrong, why is the Senate Finance Committee still offering $6 billion in subsidies to breathe new life into cooperatives — unless it is to morph them into the public option at a later date?
Health cooperatives are not a means to a positive end, but simply another finger in the dam of health care. Why, then, are they still a possible solution? Perhaps because the health care debate has moved long past a time for logic and has progressed into the political weeds.

Livingston County Sheriff John York will not seek re-election
Posted at: 02/19/2013 11:38 AM | Updated at: 02/19/2013 10:23 PM
After decades of serving his community, Livingston County Sheriff John York says he is not seeking re-election, ending a 44-year career in law enforcement. He made the announcement to his staff Tuesday.
Sheriff York tells News10NBC he is looking forward to spending more time with his grandchildren once he finishes his term.
York joined the Livingston County Sheriff's Office in 1969. Twenty years late, he became Sheriff.
Sheriff York is endorsing his undersheriff, James Szczesniak who officially announced Tuesday that he is running for sheriff.
This sets up another battle among Livingston County republicans. Livingston County Sheriff's Investigator Thomas Dougherty is running as a republican candidate as well.
Last year, two republicans tied in the republican primary for Livingston County District Attorney, causing a three way race.
Democratic candidate Greg McCaffrey won and was able to keep his spot as District Attorney.

In this miniseries, NOVA examines how a simple instrument, the telescope, has fundamentally changed our understanding of our place in the universe. What began as a curiosity -- two spectacle lenses held a foot apart -- ultimately revolutionized human thought across science, philosophy and religion. The series takes viewers on a global adventure of discovery, dramatizing the innovations in technology and the achievements in science that have marked the history of the telescope. This tale of human ingenuity involves some of the most colorful figures of the scientific world -- Galileo, Kepler, Newton, William Herschel, George Hale and Edwin Hubble -- leading up to today's colossal telescopes, housed in space-age cathedrals or orbiting high above the Earth. Now at the center of an international space race, a new generation of ever-larger telescopes is poised to reveal answers to longstanding questions about our universe and, in turn, to raise new questions. The conclusion.
