Sunday 21st December – The final and most important handicap of the year is the traditional Ken Dixon Christmas handicap, Swinsty, 11am start.
Tuesday 30th December – Annual away day to Threshfield, near Grassington, followed by (optional) food & drink at the Devonshire Arms, Cracoe. Expect approx six-mile run, although some brave souls sometimes do the Wharfedale Half-Marathon route. Meet near Wharfedale RUFC, Wharfeside Avenue, at 11am.
Friday 23rd January - Annual presentation evening at Korks; further details to follow.
Sunday 23rd November – Clowne Half-Marathon
Posted by admin in News & Results on November 24, 2014
Howard Jeffrey reports from the Clowne Half-Marathon:
The Clowne Half-Marathon is a popular race and fills up early so I booked my place a long time ago and as the date approached I realised it was on Jacqueline's birthday. Agh… major faux pas! Quite an important milestone one as well, so I crossed it out of my diary. For her birthday, my son had booked a ''hairdo' for her (yes, I know Sunday… right?). Obviously she had to go and she suggested I could perhaps do a race while she was there… saved! Read the rest of this entry »
Saturday 22nd November – West Yorks. Cross Country Race 3
Posted by admin in News & Results on November 22, 2014
Report from the hon. handicapper.
The third race in the league took place round the muddy fields next to Cliffe Castle in Keighley. The mud together with a steep climb on each large lap made it tough going, although the distance was a little less than usual, at approx 6.5 k for the senior men's race.
Caron Ralph was off first for the seniors and ran well finishing 62nd in 26:14. Katie Walshaw glided over the mud to win the race by half a minute or so in 18:27.
The seniors men's race was four large laps, finishing with a shorter lap of the flatter section of the course. The hill on the larger lap was split into a couple of zigzag climbs and after a short section after the climb, the trickiest part of the course was negotiating a right hand turn, against the camber of the slope and there were several falls here. I was surprised to finish 18th, 27:08, behind Frank Beresford's excellent run for 5th, 24:49. Antonio Cardinale did amazingly well to stay on his feet all the way round running in his road shoes! finishing 147th 45:53. Unfortunately the road works on the Bingley bypass caused Ian & Shane to turn back as it was pretty much gridlock through Bingley and Riddlesden. The 3rd different winner in this season's races was Dominic Easter, Leeds City, 24:05. See full results here. Cross country good for the soul? see report from Saturday's race in the Guardian here.
Sunday 16th November – Preston 10 mile road race
Report from Tamara Weatherhead: Stumbling around in a mixture of measured panic and bewilderment, I dragged the kids out of bed at 7am, deposited them with the grandparents in Clitheroe, and made my way to south Preston for the Preston Harriers' 10 mile road race. I felt safe in my anonymity miles away from Otley. I was surrounded by strange accents and exotic-sounding clubs: Penny Lane Striders, Astley and Tydesley RR, Wesham RR and Spectrum Striders. So I decided to pay my money and get my number. The last individual open race I did was, erm, well over a year ago, so I was a tad apprehensive – but figured I didn't have to tell anyone if it went horribly wrong. Unfortunately, just before the start I bumped into Mark Hall. Oh dear, I'd have to try and make a decent job of it.
It's basically a flat race around two 5-mile laps, including a scenic stretch along the A59 dual carriageway to Liverpool. I have moaned many a time about running laps because it's boring, but what do I know, as I don't run many races? My panicked brain sprung into action: the first lap I could take fairly steady, knowing I could then push it on the second because I knew exactly what was coming. Brilliant idea having laps! In reality, I still don't have much of a race-head so I was pretty even all the way round, with a little flourish at the end to make sure I got 4th lady, 79th overall, 1st FV45 in a pleasing time of 66:39. Mark finished way ahead of me, obviously, 18th overall and 2nd MV50 in 58.34 – which I thought was pretty good. The winner was Tom Charles from Trafford AC in 52.14 and 1st lady, 42nd overall, was Hannah Oldroyd, UK Net Runner in 1:02:28. Full results
Really enjoyed the race, easy one to make a come-back on I couldn't fault the set-up: loads of helpful, polite marshals before, during and after the event, very well organised. Thank you Preston Harriers!
Sunday 16th November – Abbey Dash
Report from Jamil Parapia: The Abbey Dash 2014 was the last in the Run Britain series and unbeknownst to me was actually the English 10k Championship. This would explain the very strong field that it attracted. The rain had eased by the time people arrived in Leeds although this left slippery conditions on the roads and pavements leading to Kirkstall and back. From a personal point of view this was a return to the Abbey Dash after an absence of 7 years so I was intrigued to see how it had grown to a gargantuan race attracting nearly 10,000 runners. To be part of an event of such enormity is quite inspiring. Apart from Mike Burrett of Leeds City who finished just ahead of me I barely knew any of the elite men.
The Abbey Dash tactics are quite simple. Try and run the same pace for about 9500m, including negotiating the ridiculous leg through the Vue cinema village and a 360 degree turn in the middle of the road. If you have mananged not to trip over the other thousands of participants, unleash a final push over the "hill" and collapse on the line with hopefully a personal or season best. There were fine performances from a number of Otley runners including bests for Richard Smith, Nicola Lee, Sara Elliott, Ann Yeadon and Toni Midgley and 2nd claimer Tom Potter. Tom Midgely also equalled his lifetime best. Well done to all.

Saturday 15th November – Full Tour of Pendle
Report from President Podd: John Armitstead gave me a lift to Barley on Saturday, where we met Matt John. All there to run the Full Tour of Pendle, 17 miles and 5000ft of climbing – more than the three peaks! Very muddy and foggy made this hard race even more challenging, but we all got home, Matt, John and me, Matt Podd. A lovely suffer fest and only 7quid and you get a class T shirt. Results to follow.

Saturday 15th November – Harriers v Cyclists
Report from the Hon. Handicapper.
This is one local fell race, (5.3 miles / 945ft), I've watched several times, but never run actually raced. Several Otley members I lined up at the bottom of the steep farm field adjacent to the Leeds-Liverpool canal near the Fisherman's Inn, Bingley. The race goes through a couple of muddy farm fields, on to Shipley Glen, the summit of Baildon moor, a loop round the summit and back to the popular spectator spot at the road crossing. From there it's the reverse of the first couple of miles back to the finish. The slippery conditions were to the advantage of the runners with the 1st 10 counting, the harriers scored 93 to the cyclist 142. A top event all round, well worth giving a go.
1st overall (cycle) was Rob Jebb, 35:43, followed by Andy Peace (c). 1st harrier in 3rd was Andy Brown and first lady (harrier) was Victoria Wilkinson 40:07, all Bingley H. 1st for Otley was Bob Addey, (c), 6th in 38:33, followed by Sam Stell (h) 11th 39:40, myself 12th 39:53, 67th Andy Hunt 47:06, 104th Laura Clark 49:47, 160th Bob Baker 56:08, 161st Caron Ralph 56:33, 202nd Lisa Maughan 1:03:19, 215th Don Buffham 1:09:45 and 225th Antonio Cardinale 1:24:18. Richard Hamer dnf'd on his mountain bike after a few falls causing bike & injury problems.
As ever lots of photos on woodentops here, full results here, a race history & videos here and one for 2014 here, stick it out till the end for a few good falls & Antonio.
Runner of the Month for October 2014
Shared between Liam – ah ah, ladies first; Sara Richard and Liam Dunn. Sara took part in the Harewood Trail Race, the Horsforth 10k and the Yorkshire Marathon, finishing in 4:17:56 and beating Liz Fawcett, Billy and Emma Jones in the process; before beginning this month with the White Rose Ultra.
As for Liam, only two races in October; the Bradford 10k, where he came second to September's runner of the Month Tom Midgley. Liam also took part in the Punchestown 10k, near Dublin, while in Ireland for a wedding; and in his own words: "This was a bit naughty as it meant I missed the church service but made it in perfect time for (the best bit!) the wedding reception in Galway". Tut tut!
Congratulations to both, and we mustn't forget a special commendation for Frank Beresford who had another busy – and successful – month.
Sunday 9th November – Dalby Dash 10k
Report from Howard Jeffrey for this and the Leeds Park run:
I had felt jaded during the week after the Guy Fawkes 10 and could not gear up to do any speedwork in the week. Got the 'call to arms' for Saturday to support one of my second claim club mates at Valley Striders, Roy Huggins, who was doing his 250th park run at Hyde park. Good excuse to do some speed (and fiddle de dee to tomorrow) and try out my new minimalist racing flats ( all 2.3 ounces of them! Mizuno Universe 5 so named because they are the lightest in the Universe ..geddit?). Whilst warming up for the park run I felt so jaded that I nearly went home; even the shoes felt a bit insubstantial. No, I was there so I could always jog round. Come the start and when we got moving I actually felt great, the shoes were also imperceptible and my target for the day of 20 minutes pretty well hit at 20.03 and the bonus of first o/60 with 79.97% effort (the best to date). Calves a bit stiff for the rest of the day but I kept stretching and could 'always jog' the Dalby Dash if I had to!
I went up to Dalby Forest to do the 10K Dash today. Cloudless blue sky, sunshine without wind, perfect cool temperature in a picturesque part of the world. What could be better? Even had a new pair of minimalist trail shoes to try out. Back in the Otley AC vest again and the only one ( I recommend it). The course is 500m slightly down then 3.5K up a moderately steep private tarmac road on which I held my own, I think due to the cycling I now do. Surprisingly my ears 'popped' before I got to the top which normally only happens at altitude! Then… not to everyone's delight but certainly mine…4.5K of downhill (on well compacted, dry trail). Yesterday's blast forgotten I flew down the hill in passing mode (shoes were awesome) and kept up the momentum to the finish in 36th place out of 375 first o/60 in 41.36. The race was won by Mike Burrett of Leeds City in 32.14. First Lady Heather Tuffs ('Unattached to York'!) in 40.02. Full results on ukresults.net here.
Note of caution: I have been progressing towards minimalist footwear for 3 years. My old running shoes now seem like Frankenstein boots by comparison but I did not do it from one day to the next. I had reasons and it has worked for me. I won't go into details here but happy to explain to anyone if interested.

SUGAR LAND, TEXAS — Imperial Sugar Co. has completed the sale of its 50% interest in Wholesome Sweeteners, Inc. to an affiliate of Arlon Group, a private investment group. The net proceeds of $60.4 million in cash are subject to adjustment upon determination of Wholesome Sweeteners' closing date working capital.
Formed in 2001, Wholesome Sweeteners previously was a 50/50 joint venture between Imperial Sugar and Edward Billington and Son, Ltd. of Liverpool, England. Wholesome Sweeteners supplies organic natural, unrefined sweeteners, including those certified as Fair Trade, to the North American market.
Imperial Sugar said net proceeds of the sale were used to reduce borrowings under its revolving line of credit. Outstanding borrowings under the credit agreement were $7.8 million after receipt of the sales proceeds. Imperial Sugar expects to report a gain on the sale of about $38 million in its fiscal third quarter ending June 30.

Call the Capital Health Center for Oncology today to make an appointment.
"There really wasn't just one person that impacted me specifically. It was everyone."
"I couldn't think of a better place to be."
"Through the excellent care I received, I have become a 'raving fan' of Capital Health and especially the care of Dr. Steven Johnson."
"Miracles do happen and this one happened at Capital Health."
"I thought I would have to travel to Philadelphia many more times. But then I found Capital Health and it's practically right in the neighborhood. It all worked out perfectly."
Rather than have Albert transferred to one of the hospitals in nearby Philadelphia, his wife chose to have him sent to Capital Health's Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center for more advanced care.
As Diana recalls it, "little did I know I was placed in the hands of the most competent doctors: Dr. Vez and Dr. Liebman."
"Now that I've discovered this level of technology that's this effective for prostate cancer, I want to help spread the word...."
"If anything happened to someone I knew, I'd tell them to go to Capital Health."
Linda says her experience as a breast cancer survivor at the Capital Health Center for Oncology allowed her the opportunity to witness firsthand what she calls an example of "great camaraderie and a great culture of communication."
"I would have never thought to come to Trenton. Now, I am so grateful I was brought to Capital Health."

When it was determined that Robert had prostate cancer, he researched all of his options. Then he found Capital Health's CyberKnife Center.
"I had never heard of Capital Health before. I'm blessed that I wound up there."
"For the four months that we were in the hospital, we developed a close relationship with our doctors and nurses. I called them my guardian angels as well as my daughter's."
A biopsy is a procedure done to remove tissue or cells from the body for examination under a microscope. Some biopsies can be done in a doctor's office, while others need to be done in a hospital setting. In addition, some biopsies can be done with a local anesthetic to numb just the area. Others may require sedation or even full anesthesia where you are completely asleep during the procedure.
Biopsies are usually done to find out if a tumor is cancerous or to find the cause of an unexplained lesion, mole, infection, or inflammation.
A biopsy can be done in various ways, depending on the type of specimen needed. Tissue samples are usually small and taken from tissue that appears changed in structure, such as a tumor.
Endoscopic biopsy. This type of biopsy is done through a fiberoptic endoscope. This is a long, thin tube that has a close-focusing telescope on the end for viewing. The scope is passed through a natural body orifice (for example, rectum or mouth) or a small incision. It is used to look at the organ in question for abnormal or suspicious areas so that a small amount of tissue can be removed for study. Endoscopic procedures are named for the organ or body area to be viewed or treated. The doctor can insert the endoscope into the gastrointestinal tract (alimentary tract endoscopy), bladder (cystoscopy), abdominal cavity (laparoscopy), joint cavity (arthroscopy), mid-portion of the chest (mediastinoscopy), or trachea and bronchial system (laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy).
Bone marrow biopsy. Bone marrow aspiration or biopsy involves taking a small amount of bone marrow fluid (aspiration) and/or solid bone marrow tissue (called a core biopsy). The tissue is usually taken from the back of the hip bones to be examined for the number, size, and maturity of blood cells and/or abnormal cells.
Excisional or incisional biopsy. This type of biopsy is often used when a wider or deeper portion of the tissue is needed. Using a scalpel (surgical knife), a full thickness of skin or all or part of a large tumor may be removed for further examination. The wound is sutured closed (with surgical thread).
When the entire tumor is removed, it is called excisional biopsy. If only a portion of the tumor is removed, it is called incisional biopsy. For instance, excisional biopsy is the method usually preferred when melanoma is suspected. Both types of biopsies can be done by using local or regional anesthesia. If the tumor is inside the chest or abdomen, general anesthesia is used. Under some circumstances, surgeons will take an excisional or incisional biopsy that goes immediately to the pathologist while the patient remains under anesthesia, ensuring complete excision of a tumor.
Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy. This type of biopsy involves using a thin needle and syringe to remove very small pieces from a tumor. Local anesthetic is sometimes used to numb the area, but the test rarely causes much discomfort and leaves no scar.
FNA is not used for diagnosis of a suspicious mole, but may be used to biopsy large lymph nodes near a melanoma to see if the melanoma has spread. Breast and thyroid tumors are examples of tumors that may be studied through FNA. A computed tomography scan (CT or CAT scan) may be used to guide a needle into a tumor in an internal organ, such as the lung or liver. An ultrasound or other study may also be used for guidance of the needle.
Punch biopsy. Punch biopsies involve taking a deeper sample of skin with a biopsy instrument that removes a short cylinder, or "apple core," of tissue. After a local anesthetic, the instrument is rotated on the surface of the skin until it cuts through all the layers, including the dermis, epidermis, and the most superficial parts of the subcutis (fat).
Shave biopsy. This type of biopsy involves removing the top layers of skin by shaving it off. Shave biopsies are used to diagnose some basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers as well as other skin lesions, but they are not recommended for suspected melanomas of the skin. Shave biopsies are also done with a local anesthetic.
Bone marrow
Gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestines)
Lymph nodes
After a biopsy, the tissue specimen is sent to the lab to be examined and analyzed. The time is required to get results back varies depending on the type of tissue and the tests being done.
Capital Health is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Focus on All Hunt Seat
Hunt seat, which evolved from fox hunting, is terminology used in the U.S. and Canada to refer to a style of forward seat riding commonly found at American horse shows. Along with Dressage, it is one of the two classic forms of English riding. Hunt Seat horses are judged on their movement, way of going, manners, and conformation.

It is a slow part of the season but this past week there has been some good reads on the back door dealings in college football. Of course it is all coming out while we are once again speaking of paying players and compensating them for their "time."  I just look forward to the season starting even if it's more than four months away.
With that in mind, let's get into some of the news and action from this past week.
1) I talked about "the Bag Man" earlier and 'they' had a great read about the men who run college football behind closed doors. The article deals with the men who "buy" college football players and run the payroll.  It was a good read and confirmed what we all think … college football players are already getting paid.
The Bag Man brought up a point that even if we paid college football players 40k a year, then guys will still be getting money on the side. I hope one day that we can get these guys some "immunity," and let them tell their stories of all the deals they made to buy players and how they out paid their rivals to land a top recruit. "Every school is doing it," it's just a matter of how much they are paying out.
2) The NCAA has a rule about banning teams from the post season when they have low test scores and are not getting the results from the athletes off the field in the class room. UNLV just got hit with 1-year post-season ban due to low test scores. For a school such as UNLV, it probably will not matter since they are lucky to win five or six games a season.
Imagine this happening to a school like Alabama or FSU. That, basically, would waste a whole season for them. UCONN basketball was banned from post-season play because of this rule, and once they were allowed back into the tournament, we all saw how that turned out.
Hearing of rules like this makes me think the NCAA needs to tweak their rules a little but then again, this is a good one because it allows the NCAA to put the "student" back into "student athlete!"
3) WOW, huge news out of Missouri! They just kicked their top wide receiver, Dorial Green-Beckham, off the team. He was the top recruit of the 2012 class and was performing on the field but had some recent run-ins with the law off the field.
Coaches are under such pressure to win and usually just suspend a player for a few games and move on … especially in the SEC! Good job on Missouri's coach for sticking to the rules and letting his players know that just because you're a football player, doesn't mean you're able get away with whatever you want! Missouri is going to miss him but it is for the best!
So we are just humming along here in the off season. Got to see my Gators play their spring game today. The offense scored some points — let's hope that can carry into the fall. If not, Muschamp will be looking for a new job come January! Anything more than 6-6 will be a miracle from God for Gator fans.
We also have the Northwestern Unionization effort still humming along. Â Should be interesting to see what direction that goes since players are torn on the voting.
Has your favorite team had their spring game yet? If so, how did they look?  Did it get you excited for the fall? I know I'm ready for the season to start!

Skyline seeks new team identity
June 24, 2014
After winning back-to-back state championships, the Skyline High School football program didn't have the glorious ending it expected for the 2013 season.
The Spartans cruised to an 8-1 regular-season record and the Class 4A KingCo Conference Crown Division title, but lost to Federal Way in the first round of the state playoffs.
Practices are underway in preparation for the 2014 campaign, and the Spartans are hungry for redemption. But seventh-year head coach Mat Taylor wants his players to establish their own identities, and not just look to replicate the program's seven state title-winning teams.
Jake Heaps transfers to Miami for senior season
June 17, 2014
The University of Miami announced June 15 that former Skyline High School quarterback Jake Heaps has signed a financial aid agreement and will transfer to the Atlantic Coast Conference school for his senior season — his third college team.
Heaps will be immediately eligible and is expected to compete for the starting job for the Hurricanes, who ended the spring with an uncertain quarterback situation. Projected starter Ryan Williams tore his ACL in April and is not expected to be ready for the start of the season.
Heaps spent the past two years at Kansas, starting nine games last season. He will graduate at the end of June, making himself eligible for the 2014 season for what will be his redshirt senior season.

The tryouts will take place at Crossfit Bellevue, 13425 S.E. 30th St., Suite 2C. Players must register in advance at http://eastsidejcfootball.com/registration.
Chris Bennett is out as Eagles' football coach
January 14, 2014
Issaquah High School football coach Chris Bennett was informed late last month that he would not be retained for next season.
Coaches work off year-to-year contracts. Bennett said he was taken by surprise when informed of the decision.
"To be honest, I was just told that my contract was not going to be renewed and when asked why, I wasn't given a reason," said Bennett, who compiled a 44-23 record in six seasons, along with an appearance in the 2008 state-title game.
Freshmen phenoms

Fast forward to their first year at Liberty High School. Three of them have competed among the top athletes in the state, while the fourth has found a place on a varsity squad that rarely makes room for freshmen.
Former Issaquah QB earns awards
January 7, 2014

Bergman passed for 3,225 yards and 27 touchdowns, both single-season records for the school.

December 31, 2013

Grant Gellatly earns All-America honors
December 17, 2013
The postseason accolades for former Issaquah football star Grant Gellatly continue to pile up after his record-breaking season at Cornell University.
Gellatly, who switched to wide receiver in college, set Cornell single-season receiving records with 91 catches for 1,224 yards and also hauled in eight touchdowns in his senior year.
Shortly after he received All-Ivy honors, Gellatly was named to a slew of national lists honoring outstanding athletes.
The senior receiver was named to the Beyond Sports Network Football Championship Subdivision All-America second team.
Former Issaquah star earns collegiate honor
December 10, 2013
Former Issaquah High School running back Grant Gellatly earned first team All-Ivy honors in his senior year at Cornell.
Gellatly, who switched to wide receiver in college, set Cornell single season receiving records with 91 catches for 1,224 yards and also hauled in eight touchdowns.
He led the league and ranked second nationally in receiving yards per game (122.4) and receptions per game (9.1).
He had a school-record 10 career 100-yard receiving games and two 200-yard games in his career and was a Capital One Academic All-District first-team selection.

The price of oil began to fall again on Friday, giving up most of the gains it had made the previous day in the first rally in two weeks.
Benchmark U.S. crude for August delivery was down 54 cents to $102.37 a barrel at 0815 GMT in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract closed up 64 cents at $102.93 a barrel on Thursday.
Oil prices shot up in the last month to a 10-month high over concerns that strife in Iraq might disrupt supplies. However, they have since been easing back down as al-Qaida inspired militants' gains in Iraq did not affect oil exporters.
Also putting downward pressure on prices is the prospect of a sudden return of Libyan oil to the global market. Libyan exports have been all but cut off over the last several months because of labor and political strife that has shut ports and disrupted production. Agreements with local militias are now expected to open two ports, and a major field restarted production Tuesday.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils, fell 47 cents to $108.54 on the ICE exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading:
— Wholesale gasoline fell 1 cent to $2.947 a gallon.
— Natural gas added 1.7 cents to $4.137 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil was down 0.5 cent at $2.889 a gallon.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. One out of eight women will develop it during her lifetime, and because of that, doctors have made a lot of progress in treating it.
If caught early, there are several life-saving options, and doctors are continuing to look even earlier. "We're focusing on prevention now. We have two medications that are approved by the FDA to be used in high risk women to reduce their risk of breast cancer. The problem is there are side effects to those medications, and only one of them can we use in women before menopause. Sometimes medications are the way to go, but we'd like something safer," said Dr. Jayne Charlamb, the Upstate University Hospital Breast Cancer High Risk Program Director.
That's why 200 hospitals across the country are studying whether vitamin D could reduce a woman's risk for developing Breast Cancer.
"Our bodies typically don't get a lot of sunshine, our bodies typically don't make enough vitamin D. So it's something everyone should at least be mindful of and talk to their health care providers about supplementing. So we're not talking about a scary medication here," said Charlamb.
The study will start with a mammogram to act as a baseline. Then one group of women will be given a high dose of vitamin D once a week. The other group will get a traditional dose on a daily basis. And the end of a year, there will be another mammogram to measure the results.
"We'll be looking at her breast density sort of as a marker of her risk of breast cancer and also obviously following for any risk of breast cancer," said Charlamb.
While doctors will follow patients for at least a year, it will be several years before the findings are published. However, researchers are optimistic.

WAYNESBORO, Va. (WHSV) - New details have been released as police continue to investigate the death of Waynesboro Police Reserve Captain Kevin Quick.
As more information comes to light, those who worked with Quick said one thing the details don't change is that Quick is gone.
Court documents and search warrants have begun painting a picture of what happened to Quick.
The Daily Progress reports that investigators believe Quick died on February 1, the night he went missing, and that the killing doesn't appear to be linked to Quick's role as a reserve police captain.
This information provides a small amount, if any, solace for his brothers in blue.
"Of course, it doesn't change the fact that Kevin's still gone. So it's just another little bit of information that we're receiving. There's probably going to be much more to come when trials start happening and indictments come down. I guess we're just kind of prepared for a very long process at this point," said Sgt. Brian Edwards with the Waynesboro Police Department.
Edwards also said this case changes the profile of the victims normally associated with cases like this.
"In this case, it was a 45-year-old male, of fairly decent build. So what it does is it proposes more questions than gives us answers," said Edwards.
Edwards said the bottom line, the details don't change the fact that Quick is gone.

Arlington school officials, with passage of the district's $663 million bond package, aren't the only ones coming off a weekend win.Statewide, voters approved 84 percent of the $6.2 billion in bond packages on ballots in local elections Saturday, according to initial results listed on the Texas Association of School Business Officials' website. Arlington made history when 69.7 percent of voters favored the the district's all-or-nothing bond package to build new facilities and update campuses. The multimillion-dollar bond proposal was the largest in Tarrant County history, yet it only drew about 8 percent of eligible voters.The low turnout is not a surprise when it comes to local elections, political analysts say, and big bond issues typically pass."I think the response validates the support for the Arlington school district and the work that is being done to ensure that all students reach their academic potential," Superintendent Marcelo Cavazos said."The community is engaged with the school district in the process as we meet the needs of all the students," he added. "This is an affirmation of the work that our teachers and our staff and our board is focused on."Surpassing Arlington in voter-approved bonds was the Cypress-Fairbanks district in Harris County. On Saturday, 68.7 percent of voters approved a $1.2 billion bond package for new facilities, technology, transportation, safety and security. Other districts including Frisco, Northside, Round Rock, Pflugerville, La Porte and Manor passed nine-digit bond packages. "School districts are trying to catch up, and they have had a hard road for the last five years with funding cuts," said Joe Smith of TexasISD.com. "They didn't get to keep up with their needs and now they are trying to meet the needs."Smith, a former Hudson school superintendent, formed TexasISD.com, which compiles election results and other education news from media reports statewide.Smith said it's not surprising that the big districts got the big bucks they asked for because they are "preparing or working on a bond all of the time.""Every time the state cuts funding they don't do away with the kids and the needs, and districts need to make up for that," he said. "That's what's happening in a lot of these places. It's a hefty burden."Too big a burden?Some say the burden is too much to ask taxpayers to carry. James Quintero of the Austin-based conservative think tank Texas Public Policy Foundation said the recent election revealed a need for more education and engagement on the part of conservatives."I don't think we as conservatives really did an effective job explaining to voters that this is an unwise expense," Quintero said.He said groups like his must simplify the government jargon that surrounds public finance so voters really know what they are getting into."Conservatives can break down these very complex ideas into consumable items for your average Joe," he said.Quintero said the most effective message conservatives can spread is to establish the link between debt and taxes for the public.But Smith said all-or-nothing anti-tax movements out of Austin don't have a lot of clout."I don't think those statewide movements fit these local elections," Smith said. "I haven't found a bond issue they've supported yet."False choicesRoss Kecseg, director of the Dallas-Fort Worth office of Empower Texans and Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, said that is not necessarily the case."Both sides can be guilty of the 'all-or-nothing' false choice," Kecseg said.He added that "average people" in school districts don't want their taxes going up but aren't aware of all the propositions on the ballot."You have a minority that stands to benefit, but a majority that has to pay for it," he said.Only two districts that asked for more than $100 million in bonds — Wichita Falls and Marshall — had bond packages rejected Saturday.Preliminary results show that 55 ut of 73 bond packages passed in Texas, Smith said. Besides Arlington and Cy-Fair, the largest approved bond proposals are:• Seventy-seven percent in Frisco approved t$775 million for 14 new schools and facility updates. • Sixty-five percent in San Antonio favored Northside school district's $648.3 million package for six new schools and updates to facilities and transportation.• Round Rock voters approved three propositions for $299 million for two new schools, fine arts venues and technology updates. The major $234.2 million proposition to address high growth garnered 65 percent of the vote.• About seventy percent of Pflugerville voters approved $287 million for two new schools and safety and security updates.• Fifty-four percent of La Porte voters approved $260 million to rebuild a portion of a high school and replace an elementary and sixth-grade school.• Sixty-one percent of voters in the Manor district passed $124.9 million for two new schools, high school additions and transportation.

Applying for a Mortgage after a Bankruptcy
By understanding the requirements to get a mortgage after a bankruptcy and by carefully rebuilding your credit standing, you can apply for a loan and buy a home.
Figure out your estimated monthly mortgage payment by estimating your loan amount, interest rate, and time period.
By understanding the requirements to get a mortgage after a bankruptcy and by carefully rebuilding your credit standing, you can apply for a loan and buy a home.
Traditional mortgage down payments have always been 10 to 25 percent of the total purchase price of the property. more
It is possible, although difficult, to obtain home equity loans for people with bad credit. The tightening of credit requirements in the wake of the banking and credit crisis have made banks less willing to extend credit terms to borrowers with bad credit. A homeowner who has a bad credit rating will need to do a lot of work to convince a lender that he/she is creditworthy and responsible enough to obtain that loan. more
It is important to understand the truth about home equity loans so that you don't run into future problems. Lenders may not tell you the entire story when you seek to borrow on the equity of your home. Before you consider taking this step, consider the following information about home equity loans. more
These loans are insured by government-backed companies and make it more affordable for first-time homebuyers and lower income families to get into the housing market.
Select a loan type best suited to your needs.
Sales of existing U.S. homes rose for the second month in a row, according to the National Association of Realtors, aided by super low interest rates and a stronger economy. Total existing-home sales increased 1.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.26 million last month, up from 5.18 million in September and up 2.5 percent from one year ago. Sales have reached their highest pace since September 2013. At the same time, the number of existing-homes on the market fell 2.6 percent from last month to 2.22 million units. At the current sales pace, that represents a 5.1-month supply, the lowest since March. Still compared with October 2013, inventory is up 5.2 percent. The median price rose 5.5 percent from the previous year, increasing to $208,300. That marks 32 straight months of year-over-year price gains. "Sales activity in October reached its highest annual pace of the year as buyers continue to be encouraged by interest rates at lows not seen since last summer, improving levels of inventory and stabilizing price growth," said NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun. "Furthermore, the job market has shown continued strength in the past six months. This bodes well for solid demand to close out the year and the likelihood of additional months of year-over-year sales increases." Mortgage interest rates fell to their lowest levels in more than a year, according to Freddie Mac. The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate conventional mortgage dropped to 4.03 percent in October, down from 4.16 percent in September and the lowest average since June 2013. More good news for the housing market: the percentage of distressed home sales fell into single-digit territory in October. Foreclosures and short sales made up just 9 percent of all sales, down from 10 percent in September and down from 14 percent a year earlier. more
