What Matters Most
Listen at 11:20am all this week for your tip from Star One Credit Union
Here are your "Money Matters" tips sponsored by Star One Credit Union.
If you're planning to get a loan to buy a house or car, your credit score will greatly affect how much it will cost. the lower your credit score, the higher your interest rate will be. You can improve your credit score by always paying your bills on time, because one late payment could hurt your credit rating. Secondly, pay down your existing debt, because more debt could mean a lower credit score.
Many of us don't think about taxes until the deadline is upon us, but smart tax planning is something we can all do to save money. For example, opening an individual retirement account is a great way to reduce your taxes while saving for the future. When you put money into an I.R.A, you reduce your taxable income. A financial institution, like a credit union, can help you.
Every year nearly ten million people are victims of identity fraud, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself. Many companies offer the option of receiving your statements online. An online statement is far safer and can't be stolen from your mailbox, delivered to the wrong address, or taken from your trash. Plus, secure log-in means you, and you alone, have access to your confidential information.
Many people live in their homes for years, and never remodel them until it's time to sell, so they never get to enjoy the results. That used to make sense when interest rates were relatively high, but today's interest rates are some of the lowest in years. So improve your home now and enjoy it for years to come with a low-interest home equity line of credit.
When it's time to buy a new car, spend time researching which loan is best for your needs. The right loan can help you buy more car than you thought you could afford. For example, if you get a four-year loan, your monthly payment will be much higher than if you get a six year loan. Get a longer term loan with no prepayment penalty that you can pay off ahead of time if your income goes up.

New figures show container cargo rose by more than 17% in May at the Port of Long Beach, with some of the highest volumes in nearly three years.
Empty containers were up 10.2% to 131,017 TEUs. With imports exceeding exports, empties are sent overseas to be refilled with goods.
Import volumes are the highest since August 2010, and overall and export volumes are the highest since October 2010.
For the first five months of 2013, cargo container volume is up 17.2%, including 19.3% more imports, 12.2% more exports and 18.9% more empties. These increases are in part due to the larger ships calling at the port more frequently and the addition of service lines starting in the last part of 2012.

More Details about GNC Shortened Sports Seasons
Submitted: 04/04/2013
Story By Joe Dufek
Play Video
- As we first told you on Wednesday, weather conditions forced several changes to the upcoming seasons for the Great Northern Conference.
On Thursday morning, GNC Commishioner Scott Winch sent out a memo outlining the changes.
� Golf � Any of the seven conference meets that are canceled due to weather will not be made up.
� Track � Invites will not be made up, Conference Meet will still take place in Antigo on May 16th.
� Girls Soccer � 2nd round of scheduled games will count towards the conference standings. The second round starts on May 2nd for girls soccer. Any games played prior to this will be considered non-conference events.
� Baseball/Softball � Double headers (will start at 5:00) will be scheduled on the second round conference dates. If all seven schools play all twelve conference games then conference champion will be determined by the records of the schools in those games. In the event that all seven schools don't play all twelve games, due to weather, the first game played against another school will be counted as the conference game.
� May 11th will be set aside as a make up day for softball, Medford and Antigo have agreed to be host sites if schools need to play more than one team on that day. Teams that play at each of these sites will split the cost of umpires equally.
� May 18th will be set aside as a makeup day for baseball, Antigo and Tomahawk have agreed to be host sites if schools need to play more than one team on that day. Teams that play at each of these sites will split the cost of umpires equally.
The Athletic Directors met with Winch Wednesday in Tomahawk. The meeting took about three hours, going over all possible scenarios.
Although all of the schools in the GNC are effected, Northland Pines, Lakeland, and Rhinelander were considered to be in the worst shape for their athletic fields. Rhinelander's Hodag Park alone had around 12 inches of snow on their baseball diamond.

From the football field to the recruiting world, Valencia (Calif.) safety Tedric Thompson has been a busy guy since the season ended.
He holds six total offers but says his top four is Fresno State, Minnesota, Hawaii and Colorado. At the end of November, Thompson and his mother saw coaches from Fresno State and Minnesota during in home visits.
"Coach Sawvel from Minnesota and coach McDonald and coach Peterson from Fresno State all came for in homes," Thompson said. "It went well with both. My mom liked both of them and that was a big thing for me. Everything they said my mom and I wanted to hear and we really liked all of them."
Shortly after in home visits, Thompson hit the road and took his first official visit to Fresno State. He says the experience was unforgettable and he liked what he saw.
"It was great," he said. "It's a great campus, it's not too far away and biggest thing I really liked was watching the players play and how the db's and the defense interact with each other. They really looked like they have fun and the coaches get involved in practice. I could really see myself playing in a program like that."
Not only did the Bulldogs impress Thompson on the field but off of it as well. He wants to major in sports medicine, and a brand new sports medicine building is under construction on campus.
"They're building that and are going to start working on the weight room afterwards so I really liked Fresno State."
Looking ahead to other visits, Thompson says he will official to his other top schools beginning at the New Year. He also added he has been receiving some good advice from his older brother, Cedric Thompson, who plays at Minnesota.
"He told me you really have to focus on seeing yourself there for four years and to not just get caught up in the moment with everything."

Young backs Vunipola for England honours
ESPN Staff
December 24, 2012
Wasps' Billy Vunipola produced another eye-catching display in his side's Premiership victory over Sale Sharks © Getty Images
London Wasps boss Dai Young has tipped in-form No.8 Billy Vunipola for an England call-up ahead of the Six Nations.
The 20-year-old has earned rave reviews this season and Young believes he is on course to join his brother - Saracens prop Mako Vunipola - in the England set-up where Gloucester's Ben Morgan and Leicester's Thomas Waldrom are currently vying for the No.8 shirt.
Speaking in the wake of Wasps' 25-18 victory over Sale Sharks on Sunday, Young was full of praise for Vunipola. "Billy was outstanding for us, he's been in that vein all season," he said. "It's hard to believe he's only 20 and I believe he's ready for an England call up as he won't let anyone down."

Police warning after sheep targeted
Published at 11:19, Monday, 31 December 2012
POLICE are urging farmers to be vigilant following the slaughter and theft of sheep.
The call follows three incidents in just a few days across rural north and west Cumbria.
Livestock owners are being encouraged to check their stock regularly and report any suspicious sightings of people in and around their land.
On Thursday a passerby made the grisly discovery of four sheep heads on a roadside verge in the Appleby area.
A police spokesman said it was not clear whether the animals found near the sewage works had been butchered for their meat.
On Friday, 63 sheep were also reported missing from a farm at Plumpton between Carlisle and Penrith.
The police spokesman also said he understood that sheep had also gone missing in Dearham in west Cumbria.
He added: "The message is to be aware and lock up your sheep because there are incidents of theft and injury to livestock."
The crimes have also been reported to Cumbria Farm Watch, an extension of the Neighbourhood Watch movement aimed specifically at the farming community.
Incidents of the kind seen at Appleby are quite rare in Cumbria, but have increased nationally as meat has become more expensive.
Keith Twentyman, an adviser with the NFU in Carlisle, said: "Thankfully, it's not a big problem across the county but just one incident is too many.
"We can only speculate about where this meat ends up whether it goes onto the black market or is used in pet food.
"It's a horrible thing to do. While members of the public would be horrified by this, farmers feel just the same. They hate to see animals suffer and they have strict codes of practice for looking after them."
There were three similar incidents in Cumbria this year where animals were slaughtered for their meat in the fields.
Police continue to urge people to stay alert and report sightings of suspicious activity as they continue to try to tackle all types of rural thefts.
Anyone with information about the latest crimes should call police on 101. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Rural security advice is also available from www.cumbriafarmwatch.co.uk.

You are using the wrong yardstick. Ain't no thing is perfectly reliable. What matters is whether an automated system will be more reliable than the alternative -- human doctors.
Commercial aviation has a pretty good safety record while relying on autopilots. Are you quite sure that without the autopilot the safety record would be better?
whenever the system spits out, "No diagnosis found".
And why do you think a doctor will do better in this case?
I was going to say "doctor's don't have the option of not picking the diagnosis", but that's actually not true; they just don't have the option of not picking a treatment. I've had plenty of patients who were "symptom X not yet diagnosed" and the treatment is basically supportive, "don't let them die and try to notice if they get worse, while we figure this out." I suspect that often it never gets figured out; the patient gets better and they go home. (Less so in the ICU, because it's higher stakes and there's more of an attitude of "do ALL the tests!")
I find that the signaling aspect maybe accounts for 20-30% of the phenomenon.
I think that about 20-30% of the time (off the top of my head), my good conversations happen late at night because we stay up late because we're in a good conversation. But more often, we stay up late because we just don't want to go to sleep, and then it is like 3 in the morning, and something about it being 3 in the morning triggers good conversation.
It would be interesting to test what actually about "it being late" triggers the good conversation. For example, you could test to see if it is tiredness, or time of the day, or how many hours it's been since you woke up.
I think reduced inhibitions that come with tiredness might help here.
Whereas I'm pretty much always underconfident
That's a bit of self contradictory statement, isn't it? (People can be unassertive but internally very overconfident, by the way).
So you have that patient, and you have your idea on the procedures that should have been done, and there's doctor's, and you in retrospect think you were under-confident that your treatment plan was superior? What if magically you were in the position where you'd actually have to take charge? Where ordering a wrong procedure hurts the patient? It's my understanding that there's a very strong initial bias to order unnecessary procedures, that takes years of experience to overcome.
I suspect it's one of things that look very different from the inside and from the outside... None of those arrogant newbies would have seen themselves in my description (up until they wisen up). Also, your prototype here is the heroic responsibility for saving the human race, taken upon by someone who neither completed formal education in relevant subjects, nor (which would actually be better to see) produced actual working software products of relevance, nor other things of such nature evaluated to be correct in a way that's somewhat immune to rationalization. And a straightforwardly responsible thing to do is to try to do more of rationalization-immune things to practice, because the idea is that screwing up here has very bad consequences.
Other issue is that you are essentially thinking meat, and if the activation of the neurons used for responsibility is outside a specific range, things don't work right, performance is impaired, responsibility too is impaired, etc, whether the activation is too low or too high.
edit: to summarize with an analogy, say, driving a car without having passed a driving test is irresponsible, right? No matter how much you feel that you can drive the bus better than the person who's legally driving it, the responsible thing to do is to pass a driving test first. Now, the heroes, they don't need no stinking tests. They jump into the airplane cockpit and they land it just fine, without once asking if there's a certified pilot on board. In most fiction, heroes are incredibly irresponsible, and the way they take responsibility for things is very irresponsible, but it all works out fine because it's fiction.
So you have that patient, and you have your idea on the procedures that should have been done, and there's doctor's, and you in retrospect think you were under-confident that your treatment plan was superior?
I'm not sure that the doctor and I disagreed on that much. So we had this patient, who weighed 600 pounds and had all the chronic diseases that come with it, and he was having more and more trouble breathing–he was in heart failure, with water backing up into his lungs, basically. Which we were treating with diuretics, but he was already slowly going into kidney failure, and giving someone big doses of diuretics can push them into complete kidney failure, and also can make you deaf–so the doses we were giving him weren't doing anything, and we couldn't give him more. Normally it would have been an easy decision to intubate him and put him on a ventilator around Day 3, but at 600 pounds, with all that medical history, if we did that he'd end up in the hospital for six months, with a tracheotomy, all that. So the doctor had a good reason for wanting to delay the inevitable as long as possible. We were also both expecting that he would need dialysis sooner or later...but we couldn't put him on dialysis to take water off his lungs and avoid having to intubate him, because he was completely confused and delirious and I had enough trouble getting him to keep his oxygen mask on. Dialysis really requires a patient who stays still. We couldn't give him too many medications to calm him down, because anything with a sedative effect would decrease his respiratory effort, and then he'd end up needed to be intubated.
Basically, it was a problem with so many constraints that there was no good solution. I think that my disagreement with the doctor was over values–specifically, the doctor thought of the scenario where we intubate him and put him on dialysis on Monday as basically equivalent to the scenario where we delay it as long as possible and then end up intubating him on Thursday. Whereas to me, latter, where my patient got to spend four extra days writhing around, confused and in pain and struggling to breathe, was a lot worse. I think nurses are trained to have more empathy and care more about a patient being in pain, and also I was seeing him for twelve hours a day whereas the doctor was seeing him for five minutes. And I was really hoping that there was a course of action no one had thought of that was better...but there wasn't, at least not one I was able to think of. So the guy suffered for five days, ended up intubated, and is probably still in the hospital.
What if magically you were in the position where you'd actually have to take charge? Where ordering a wrong procedure hurts the patient?
I would be terrified all the time of doing the wrong thing. Maybe even more than I already am. I think as a nurse, I basically have causal power a lot of the time anyway–I point a problem out to the doctor, I suggest "do you want to do X", he says, "Yeah, X is a good idea." That's scary, despite the presence of a back-up filter that will let me know if X is a terrible idea. [And doctors also have a lot of back-up filters: the pharmacy will call them to clarify a medication order that they think is a bad idea, and nurses can and will speak their opinion, and have the right to refuse to administer treatment if they think that it's unsafe for the patient.]
There may be Dunning-Kruger effect though...
I don't know about the medical context but in the software context, the "heroically responsible" developer is the new guy who is waxing poetic about switching to another programming language (for no reason and entirely unaware of all the bindings that would need to be implemented), who wants others to do unit tests in the situation where they're inapplicable or do some sort of agile development where more formal process with tests is necessary, and fails to recognize unit testing already in place, etc.
He puts himself and his need to be the hero of the project's story ahead of the needs of the project, which is irresponsible, he doesn't actually take time to critically evaluate his own proposals before making them (not fun), which is again irresponsible. His need to heroically save the project is more important than the success of the team. People like him are the starters of those 90%+ start-ups that fail, wasting other people's money and time.
But in his own mind he's the only responsible person on the whole team. The tech lead spents his near-deadline weekend going over thousands lines of other people's code and fixing up other people's bugs? Doesn't register to that new guy, it's still just him.
Eventually most people grow out of that mindset. (I'd dare say most people exhibit some of such behaviours for at least a short period of time. )
This may indeed be a failure mode that new people on teams are prone to, and maybe even something that new people on teams are especially prone to if they've read HPMOR, but I don't think it's the same as the thing I'm talking about–and in particular this doesn't sound like me, as a new nurse who's read HPMOR. I think the analog in nursing would be the new grad who's carrying journal articles around everywhere, overconfident in their fresh-out-of-school knowledge, citing the new Best Practice Guidelines and nagging all the experienced nurses about not following them. Whereas I'm pretty much always underconfident, trying to watch how the experienced nurses do things and learn for them, asking for help lots, and offering my help to everyone all the time. Which is probably annoying sometimes, but not in the same way.
I think that there is a spirit of heroic responsibility that makes people genuinely stronger, which Eliezer is doing his best to describe in HPMOR, and what you described is very much not in the spirit of heroic responsibility.
A discussion of heroic responsibility
[Originally posted to my personal blog, reposted here with edits.]
You could call it heroic responsibility, maybe," Harry Potter said. "Not like the usual sort. It means that whatever happens, no matter what, it's always your fault. Even if you tell Professor McGonagall, she's not responsible for what happens, you are. Following the school rules isn't an excuse, someone else being in charge isn't an excuse, even trying your best isn't an excuse. There just aren't any excuses, you've got to get the job done no matter what." Harry's face tightened. "That's why I say you're not thinking responsibly, Hermione. Thinking that your job is done when you tell Professor McGonagall—that isn't heroine thinking. Like Hannah being beat up is okay then, because it isn't your fault anymore. Being a heroine means your job isn't finished until you've done whatever it takes to protect the other girls, permanently." In Harry's voice was a touch of the steel he had acquired since the day Fawkes had been on his shoulder. "You can't think as if just following the rules means you've done your duty. –HPMOR, chapter 75.
Something Impossible
Bold attempts aren't enough, roads can't be paved with intentions...You probably don't even got what it takes,But you better try anyway, for everyone's sakeAnd you won't find the answer until you escape from theLabyrinth of your conventions.Its time to just shut up, and do the impossible.Can't walk away...Gotta break off those shackles, and shake off those chainsGotta make something impossible happen today...
The Well-Functioning Gear
I feel like maybe the hospital is an emergent system that has the property of patient-healing, but I'd be surprised if any one part of it does.Suppose I see an unusual result on my patient. I don't know what it means, so I mention it to a specialist. The specialist, who doesn't know anything about the patient beyond what I've told him, says to order a technetium scan. He has no idea what a technetium scan is or how it is performed, except that it's the proper thing to do in this situation. A nurse is called to bring the patient to the scanner, but has no idea why. The scanning technician, who has only a vague idea why the scan is being done, does the scan and spits out a number, which ends up with me. I bring it to the specialist, who gives me a diagnosis and tells me to ask another specialist what the right medicine for that is. I ask the other specialist – who has only the sketchiest idea of the events leading up to the diagnosis – about the correct medicine, and she gives me a name and tells me to ask the pharmacist how to dose it. The pharmacist – who has only the vague outline of an idea who the patient is, what test he got, or what the diagnosis is – doses the medication. Then a nurse, who has no idea about any of this, gives the medication to the patient. Somehow, the system works and the patient improves.Part of being an intern is adjusting to all of this, losing some of your delusions of heroism, getting used to the fact that you're not going to be Dr. House, that you are at best going to be a very well-functioning gear in a vast machine that does often tedious but always valuable work. –Scott Alexander
Recursive Heroic Responsibility
Heroic responsibility for average humans under average conditions
I can predict at least one thing that people will say in the comments, because I've heard it hundreds of times–that Swimmer963 is a clear example of someone who should leave nursing, take the meta-level responsibility, and do something higher impact for the usual. Because she's smart. Because she's rational. Whatever.
Fine. This post isn't about me. Whether I like it or not, the concept of heroic responsibility is now a part of my value system, and I probably am going to leave nursing.
But what about the other nurses on my unit, the ones who are competent and motivated and curious and really care? Would familiarity with the concept of heroic responsibility help or hinder them in their work? Honestly, I predict that they would feel alienated, that they would assume I held a low opinion of them (which I don't, and I really don't want them to think that I do), and that they would flinch away and go back to the things that they were doing anyway, the role where they were comfortable–or that, if they did accept it, it would cause them to burn out. So as a consequentialist, I'm not going to tell them.
And yeah, that bothers me. Because I'm not a special snowflake. Because I want to live in a world where rationality helps everyone. Because I feel like the reason they would react that was isn't because of anything about them as people, or because heroic responsibility is a bad thing, but because I'm not able to communicate to them what I mean. Maybe stupid reasons. Still bothers me.
Anecdotally, it doesn't feel like I get overall improved functioning from caffeine, but I can use it to gain control of when my high-alertness and low-alertness periods will happen. This is 100% a must for the kind of shift work schedule I'm doing right now, which definitely was not intended for humans. I usually consume caffeine at work only and minimize it on my days off; ideally this adds up to consuming it on 4/9 days, in practice more because I take overtime. I take longer breaks whenever possible. Caffeine is pretty much what allows me to function during 12 hour night shifts.
I think that maybe if I could completely remove the effects of current caffeine dependence, I might be able to handle 12 hour day shifts (7 am-7 pm) caffeine free, but I'm not sure about that. Caffeine helps smooth out dips and slumps in my circadian rhythms, and I need all of the alertness I can muster to take care of humans on ventilators.
Wow this post is pretty much exactly what I've been thinking about lately.
Saving a person's life feels great.
Yup. Been there. Still finding a way to use that ICU-nursing high as motivation for something more generalized than "omg take all the overtime shifts."
Also, I think that my brain already runs on something like virtue ethics, but that the particular thing I think is virtuous changes based on my beliefs about the world, and this is probably a decent way to do things for reasons other than visceral caring. (I mean, I do viscerally care about being virtuous...)
Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptangya Zoooooooom Boing Ni!
I'll be going by Regex. I stumbled upon this site due to a side story from the MLP:FIM fanfiction Friendship is Optimal: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/62074/friendship-is-optimal which is a bit weird, but I guess I'm weird. Yes, I like small candy colored equines. Ponies are my lifeblood.
My life history in a nutshell: Highschool was spent mostly figuring out how terrible middleschool was and realizing my ability to control my environment. Learned basic coding, drawing, and organization skills. Found a path in life due to the launch of the Curiosity rover. Robots were cool. Installed Linux.
I am currently a college sophomore pursing mechanical engineering: I've been inspired to create robots. Despite going for a ME degree I have more computer knowledge. My preferred OS is Linux, but I'm not skilled enough with it yet to do much beyond what I can do with Windows.
I am quite interested in personal development, hence why I am here. A lot of the thought processes here seem to mirror my own far more than I've seen elsewhere, so there was kind of a "these are my people" moment. I have been lightly reading the site, but there is just so much I've been doing it in bits and pieces and digesting it as I read.
I am also an artist of sorts, but I can't do much beyond basic line art and sketching. Drawing from my imagination is much more difficult than copying something in front of me. I've had better luck with using programming to make patterns, but I like the ability to produce an arbitrary image by hand. Getting there.
I am very good at organizing information (depending on the need), but I often fail to actually progress beyond that point and do anything with the knowledge gained. This is paralleled with the fact that I have a habit of hording media rather than watching it.
I sing aloud to myself as I walk down the street. Whatever comes to mind. Very fun. I probably am a little inconsiderate of those around me when doing so, but I like to think I am adding a bit of mystery to their day. They'll ask "what was all that singing about?" and never know. I also like smashing piano keys in whatever order sounds pleasing at that moment. More fun.
I am interested in polyphasic sleep, and can currently fall asleep for a short nap basically whenever I please and reduce "core sleep" (aka the long 8 hour sleep block becomes a 4 hour block if I take 2-3 twenty to thirty minute naps during the day), but I didn't go all the way to remove the core sleep.
I consider myself "smarter than average," but now try very very hard not to judge people based on their intellect. I recall once uttering the statement "better to be intelligent than a skateboarder" (I was convinced one cannot be both) in middle school to someone who later became a friend of sorts. This was because I had (still have?) a bit of a superiority complex, but also because I failed to understand where he was coming from and I had (have?) a tendency to misrepresent others in my mind to a significant degree. I have no doubt that those tendencies still lurk out of view.
Regardless of how high or low I might compare to others I want to become better than I am.
I'll be around.
Ensure that you have trained enough for the next challenge, because it is the training that will see you through it, not your agenty conscious thinking.
Spent the last 5+ years of my life trying to do this, specifically for the role of Nurse (and Lifeguard before that). It's been fairly successful, and even generalizes a little–I am frequently the Person who Gets Shit Done in non-nursing contexts.
I'm not sure that the competence/learned skill routines/martial arts for rationality aspect is the same thing as "Being Responsible For This Shit." The former is something that takes years of doing hard things over and over, training the right mental motion the same way you'd train the physical motion. Almost all the things that actually make me a competent ICU nurse fall into this category.
The latter is something that can change in a day, with the right mental reframe. (Example: I usually basically never volunteer to drive places, although I've learned how–I'm not super comfortable and I don't have to. Then I was The Person In Charge of logistics for a large event, and hardly anyone else could drive, and I was responsible–so rather than spend a ton of energy convincing other people to drive places for me, I just got in the car.)
The two skills are probably related and probably correlated–for example, I suspect that many people have trouble taking on the role of "Person In Charge" because they have low confidence in their ability to actually take the right action and make things better rather than worse. (Given that in plenty of situations, taking the wrong action confidently is worse than doing nothing, that may be justified). Acquiring competence in one area, like nursing, brings confidence, and I think that's the thing that generalizes to the rest of my life, rather than any of the specific routines and skills and dealing-with-emergency templates that I've spent years training. It feels like I have a good understanding of which situations actually require very little skill, where the main thing is having the necessary confidence to speak. (Then again, I'm not sure I could distinguish this from "having ingrained a skill to the point that it doesn't even feel like a skill anymore.)

DEFINITION of 'Not For Profit'
A not for profit organization is a type of organization that does not earn profits for its owners. All of the money earned by or donated to a not for profit organization is used in pursuing the organization's objectives. Typically not for profit organizations are charities or other types of public service organizations. Generally, not for profit organizations can apply for a tax exempt status so that the organization is not subject to most forms of taxation. Donations made to a tax exempt not for profit organization may also be tax-deductible for the donor.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Not For Profit'
Except for the distinguishing feature that a not for profit organizations does not distribute profits to it owners, many non-profits have much in common with for-profit organizations. For example, while some not for profit organizations use only volunteer labor, any sufficiently large non-profit is likely to require a staff of paid full-time employees, managers, and directors. Indeed, since not for profit enterprises wish to accomplish their objectives in the same way as for profit enterprises, business tactics and management techniques honed in the for-profit world often work well in not for profit organizations as well.

The armies of the undead took to the streets of Camp Verde once again Sunday. Actually, "armies" might be a bit of a stretch; the zombies were actually outnumbered by the princesses, ninja and vigilante crime fighters.
But unlike Bruce Wayne, most of these superheroes had their parents in attendance. Convenient, since many of them were too small and/or distracted by the spectacle to pay attention to proper bag-handling skills when waiting for candy distribution.
It was the annual Trick or Treat Main Street event, one of the only remaining public celebrations still sponsored by the town, now in its fourth year.
"I think this is great," said Marilyn Paulsen, a Valley of the Sun resident visiting her sister and taking a moment to watch the parade of costumed children and adults meandering along Main Street. "It's great to see all the children out like this."
The street was closed off by those men and women with the most realistic costumes of all, the deputies of the Camp Verde Marshal's Office. A close second in the realism category went to "scruffy weekend newspaper reporter who could stand to get a little closer to a razor before handing out candy."
Organizers were initially concerned whether or not holding the event on a Sunday, the first time it's happened since the town started closing down Main Street on Halloween, would affect participation and turnout.
Those concerns seemed to be unfounded, as not long into the event individuals, groups and organizations faced the problem of running out of candy.
"It's been great so far," said Lynda Moore, recreation supervisor with the town's parks and recreation department. "A lot of people have been running out of candy. Next year I think we should have double the amount of candy."
At South Verde Technical Magnet School, aka South Verde High, the entire building was converted into a house of horrors, an occasional scream emanating to startle the assorted Iron Men and witches gathered on the street outside.
It cost $3, $2 with a canned good, but it all went to support the school, said Samantha Phillips, a volunteer working the front door.
Phillips had one child who graduated from South Verde and currently has two daughters who still attend the school.
"We've had good turnout," Phillips said. "I'd say it's been a success."

Who's Watching the Watchdog?
In just one year, attacks have doubled on government observers contracted to collect catch and bycatch information from commercial fishing fleets.
Observers are the only independent source of data we have for tracking catches, monitoring quotas and recording harmful activity. They're contracted under NOAA, an agency within the Department of Commerce that conducts environmental research.
But the agency has ceased collecting data on reports of harassment or interference supposedly because it lacks resources to investigate these matters.
Without observers, we truly have no way of knowing laws implemented to protect sea life and habitat are followed. So we've got observers in place to protect marine life, but who's protecting the observers?

Christian Rich - Say My Name
Artist: Christian Rich
Featuring: Colin Munroe
Producer: Christian Rich
Album: Arcade
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 11 votes )
It's been almost four months since we've heard new music from Star Trak affiliates and The Decadence creators Christian Rich - who for the record are comprised of twin brothers Kehinde "Rich" Hassan and Taiwo "Christian" Hassan and are not "that Christian Rich dude" – so fans eager to get some lush boardwork back into their lives should be more than a little excited to hear the duo's brand new single Say My Name. True to form, on My Name Rich craft an electro based beat that somehow manages to be simultaneously stimulating and mellowed out, a sonic background that vocalist Colin Munroe (fresh off his Booth approved Prince cover I Would Die 4 U) is more than comfortable operating in. The result? Yet another entrancing record guaranteed to please the ladies, and the guys intent on pleasing them. Those that missed out the first time around should cop The Decadence right now, as well as keep an eye out for their upcoming album The Arcade, which will "most likely" include Say My Name. Keep it locked for more details

Just like winter, hot stove season appears to be arriving early this year. Somewhat lost in all of the hubbub regarding Giancarlo Stanton's record-breaking deal is Russell Martin's five-year, $82 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. Though it is heavily backloaded, this still ranks as the third-largest catching contract currently on any club's books […]

About an hour after I named Russell Martin one of the bargains of this free agent crop, the Blue Jays removed him from the pile, signing him to a five year, $82.5 million contract, according to Ken Rosenthal. This was slightly higher than the 5/$75M I'd guessed in my predictions, and quite a bit higher […]

Officer: General, in all my years of covering top secret discoveries with sheets, I've never dramatically revealed anything as shocking as this. DUN-DUN-DUUUNNNN!There is something hidden under a large, white sheet. You don't know what it is, the characters don't know what it is, but sooner or later, you will. It is inevitable. Equally inevitable is that when whatever it is behind the curtain is revealed, there will be a great deal of pomp behind removing it. It will be shot in slow motion from four different angles. There will be a collective gasp. This is an important moment. This is the Dramatic Curtain Toss. All this will never take into account the actions an average human being would be most likely to take upon stumbling across something hidden under a big white sheet. Most people would first lift a part of said sheet so that if it turns out not to be of any particular interest, everything can be put back in order smoothly, rather than, you know, wasting four hours trying to get the damn thing back up. Not to mention the fact that tossing the curtain in a dramatic fashion might easily get you covered in a two-inch thick layer of dust as well as have all those precious but long forgotten pots, that were posted on top of the wardrobe years ago, smashed into pieces. A relative to the Dramatic Unmask and subtrope of The Reveal. This can come at any time in a story. Curtain Camouflage is especially prone to it. Any number of reactions may follow.
