March 9, 2013
The silence in room 401 created peace and serenity.
Former Bears guard Revie Sorey suffered a massive stroke on March 25, 2012, leaving the once eloquent and enthusiastic community leader barely able to utter a word. I visited my rehabbing friend Thursday at the Warren Barr Pavilion on Oak Street. We sat in comfortable silence for about an hour.
Sorey, 59, a hulking and athletic lineman who blocked for Walter Payton from 1975-83, sat slumped in a wheelchair next to his bed, head bowed, body decimated.
He looked up as I announced myself at the entrance of his room and his eyes brightened as he appeared to recognize me. I knelt down to offered a lingering hug, then presented him with three signed books about the Bears that I have written over the years. As he struggled to secure each book with his one functioning hand (left), I pointed out passages that referred to him and pictures of former teammates he might recognize.
The quiet was broken about 45 minutes later as cheerful nurses entered to insert a feeding tube.
The Brooklyn-born Sorey, who played for Jack Pardee, Neill Armstrong and Mike Ditka, gained greater stature in my eyes as educational director of the Ada S. McKinley Community Services Center for 12 years.
I remember being invited by Sorey to attend special 7 a.m. breakfasts conducted by that organization, during which at-risk students received college scholarships and thanked the man who helped make it possible. Sorey also served as educational director of Special Olympics of Chicago.
I remember Sorey telling students: "Truly the weapon of choice right now is education."
I walked around his room Thursday to observe the get-well cards, flowers, mini-footballs and pictures on the wall that friends had displayed for him. There was a picture of Sorey with the late Bears safety Dave Duerson. Another photo depicted Sorey with former teammates Dan Jiggetts and Noah Jackson jogging in from an afternoon practice outside the old Halas Hall in Lake Forest. Another photo of Payton and former Bear Dave Williams hung on a wall.
My mind drifted back to the time I interviewed Sorey several years ago as he gleefully described the pride he took in blocking for Payton.
"It was incredible," Sorey said then. "If you just got in the way, you made a good block. And I happened to throw a couple of get-in-the-way blocks. And he made me look outstanding. Whenever we ran a sweep, I figured we could get at least 10 or 15 yards. If he broke it, that was gravy."
Then, in the blink of an eye, my attention shifted back to the stark reality of Sorey sitting there silently, struggling to turn each page of a book.
Sorey suffered an initial mild stroke in 2002 without losing consciousness. He received assistance from Dr. Stefan Humphries, also a former Bears offensive lineman, who flew to Chicago from Colorado where he had been a rehabilitation specialist. Humphries is now medical director at St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute in Spokane, Wash.
Signs of dementia and memory loss were evident in Sorey before he suffered his strokes, according to his longtime friend and caregiver Anita Efron. He spent about three months in the hospital last spring following the stroke before being released to the rehabilitation center.
Sorey's wife of 20 years, Suzy, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer on April 16, 2011, at the age of 59. Quite understandably, Sorey was heartbroken.
"It was devastating for all of us," Efron said by phone. "We all had spent every holiday together, every birthday together. It was a very, very close relationship."
Anita and her husband, Mort, encouraged Sorey and his son, Trace, to leave their Glen Ellyn home and move in with them in Chicago after Suzy died. Anita oversaw all of his medications and his special diet because of Sorey's myriad health issues before the massive stroke.
"I noticed his memory loss and different behavior," said Anita, not quite sure what to make of any possible connection with the discoveries of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) found in the brains of deceased former NFL players such as Duerson.
Although his long-term prognosis remains in doubt, Sorey continues to undergo physical and speech therapy, and friends and well-wishers are encouraged to visit him.
As a football star at Illinois, Sorey had met Anita and Mort and they remained friends for life. Mort is a long-time attorney and Revie asked him to represent him after the Bears drafted him in the fifth round in 1975.
"We became best friends and Revie became the godfather of our children," Anita Efron said. "And down the road, when he got married, we became godparents of Trace. Trace is 20 now and going to school at Harold Washington. He has a little part-time job and he is doing extremely well."
As my visit with Sorey drew to a close, I stood up and promised to return. He nodded as I patted him on the shoulder. I wondered what was going through his mind. I know he stirred up memories in mine.

2012 BTB Awards: Biggest meltdowns
The BTB Awards are our look back at the best — and worst — of the tennis season. Today we examine the 10 meltdowns, tantrums and outbursts that defined the season. Can't we all just get along?
[2012 IN REVIEW: Report Card | Surprises]
1. David Nalbandian bloodies a linesman at Queens: Player tantrums are usually humorous outbursts that we can all sit around and laugh about the next day. This one wasn't. Facing Marin Cilic in the final at the Queen's Club in London, Nalbandian violently kicked an advertising board into a line umpire's shin, drawing blood and justifiably earning a disqualification. He added to the awkwardness by railing against the ATP in his postmatch interview.
"Sometimes we feel so much pressure from the ATP trying to play so many tournaments," Nalbandian told the crowd, which began to boo. "No, no, no, hear this one. In wet conditions and ATP doesn't do anything to us. Today I do a mistake and I have to play like that. I agree I do a mistake, but everybody do a mistake.
"There is a lot of rules, and sometimes [ATP] don't do anything. The rule book is very big. And I can tell you that ATP do a lot of mistakes, a lot of mistakes to the players and nothing happens. So that's why players disagree to ATP."
Nalbandian was fined the maximum $12,650 (and stripped of his $57,350 in prize money) for the incident, which led to a police investigation for assault.
2. Bernard Tomic takes it out on the turf: It was a problematic year for the young Aussie. Under pressure to defend his 2011 Wimbledon quarterfinal appearance, he cracked. And so did his racket. He lost in the first round to David Goffin and was booed off the court after smashing his racket repeatedly, causing damage that the Wimbledon grounds crew had to scramble to repair. He was fined $2,500 and got a rare talking-to from Wimbledon officials, who told the 19-year-old that type of behavior would not be tolerated at the All England Club.
3. Elena Vesnina and Sania Mirza stand up to injustice: In the women's doubles quarterfinals at a testy Australian Open (more on that below), Vesnina and Mirza went ballistic after the umpire failed to rule on a clear double-bounce on match point. As Mirza glared at Liezel Huber — who claimed she didn't see the double-bounce — Vesnina railed against the umpire, Carlos Ramos. "Are you kidding me?" Vesnina said. "Carlos, it was two bounce! What happen with the umpires at the Australian Open? You always want to get into fights with the players. It's unbelievable what you're doing."
A few points later, Mirza rifled a forehand right at Huber that left the American on the ground. Mirza and Vesnina went on to finally convert on match point.
"We won that match, like, twice," Mirza told her partner as they walked off court. Vesnina responded, "No, we won it three times."
4. Marcos Baghdatis destroys four rackets in four minutes: Maybe it's the Australian heat, the excitement or the inherent crankiness from coming within a few feet of Vegemite every year, but the Australian Open yielded more memorable outbursts than any other tournament. Here's crowd favorite Baghdatis destroying four rackets on a changeover with eerie calmness. The eruption worked for a bit. He came back to take the third set before losing to Stanislas Wawrinka 7-6 (3), 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 in the second round.
5. Bernard Tomic has daddy issues in Miami: Poor Tomic is a repeat offender on this list. This was one of the more bizarre tantrums of the season. During his loss to David Ferrer, Tomic was so put off by his father-coach John's negativity that he actually asked chair umpire Cedric Mourier if he could have him removed from the stadium.
6. Serena Williams cries during changeover: Virginie Razzano's first-round upset of Williams at the French Open was a shock to everyone, including Serena. Razzano had just rallied from 1-5 down in the second-set tiebreaker to even the match and as Williams sat on the changeover, she began to cry. That insight into her mental and emotional fragility made her Wimbledon triumph a month later even more remarkable.
7. David Nalbandian throws water on Australian Open official: To be fair, Nalbandian was completely wronged on this call. He had just earned a break point at 8-8 in the fifth set against John Isner when Isner fired a serve down the tee that was called a fault. Chair umpire Kader Nouni overruled the call to give Isner the break-point-saving ace and then refused to let Nalbandian challenge because he took too long to ask for it. Really? You make that call at 8-8 in the fifth set? Nalbandian understandably lost his cool and called the supervisor, causing a long delay.
But the real news out of this blowup was what didn't get captured by the cameras. After losing 4-6, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5), 10-8, Nalbandian reportedly threw water on an Australian Open staff member, incurring an $8,000 fine.
8. Victoria Azarenka's Olympic fit: Ah, the Olympic spirit. After rolling through the first set of her opening-round match against Romania's Irina Camelia Begu, Azarenka was down a break in the second. On break point, Begu served a ball that Azarenka got her racket on, but it was called long. Begu challenged, and the serve was ruled in. Umpire Julie Kjendlie made the right call, giving the point to Begu, as the linesman's out call didn't affect Azarenka's return.
Azarenka disagreed. Vehemently. And she got the rule wrong, to boot. "No way," she said. "I touched the ball. You cannot do that. I touched the ball, I hit the ball, he calls it out. What are you talking about?
"What the hell are you talking about? Do you knows the rules or no? It's not your first time. You always mess up. Can you frickin' learn a little bit?"
9. Caroline Wozniacki loses it at the French Open: Wozniacki was getting absolutely shellacked by Kaia Kanepi in the third round when she stopped play for a ball she thought was out. The umpire misread the mark — NBC replays showed it was clearly out — and Sunshine went about as bonkers as the affable Dane could. "The ball is clearly out. You can't just sit there and be so arrogant," she said, chastising the umpire. "If we had Hawk-Eye, you would be so frickin' embarassed." Wozniacki kept it going for more than four minutes, calling out the supervisor and even questioning the umpire's education level. Which was kinda funny.
10. Roger Federer tells French fans to "SHUT UP!": Let's face it, if Roger Federer just flicks his hair wrong during a match, it's news. So when he got angry at the crowd for calling out in the middle of a rally during his French Open quarterfinal match against Juan Martin del Potro, it went viral. Though let's be honest: Who hasn't wanted to yell "SHUT UP!" at the French Open crowd?
Did we miss one of your favorite outbursts from the season? Let us know in the comments.

June 11, 2009 - Meg Alexander
I finished my book last night, and I feel almost as though I have said goodbye to an old friend. After about two years of reading little bits and pieces every night, slowly making my way sentence by sentence, digesting as much as my brain could, I completed Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
Normally I am a fast reader, zipping through a book in one to two days. For instance, I once read the Lord of the Rings trilogy, plus the Hobbit, in a weekend.
This book was a completely different experience for me, and a good, challenging, growing one that I hope will stay with my the rest of my life.
"What is it about?" people would ask me before. And I struggled to give them a concise answer. The book covers so very much, and summarizing doesn't always come easily for me. But last night, at 2 a.m., after I had stopped crying over the end of this amazing memoir, I realized this book is about zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, particularly if you look at motorcycle maintenance as an analogy for life. It's about the importance of a job well done. It's about quality and excellence and an emanating, all-encompassing passion for goodness and truth. It's about zen and the path of enlightenment and appreciating the journey as you go, rather than focusing only on what lies ahead. It's ... amazing.

© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- A city resident found sensitive documents listing Albany Police Department officers' names and social security numbers in trash bags in an alley near West Residence Avenue Monday.
The discovery led to an Internal Affairs investigation into the files and who put them in the alley, police officials said.
The bags were not picked up by trash removal employees because they were not in a trash can, said police spokeswoman Phyllis Banks.
The resident, Brian Duncan, turned the files over to a television station instead of the police.
That wasn't the procedure Police Chief John Proctor would have liked followed, he said. He is all too aware that previous police administrations could have been suspect in residents' eyes.
"He (Duncan) thought it was in his best interest to share it with the media before he shared it with us. I am hopeful that we can get beyond that at some point in this community," Proctor said. "I have none of that connectivity to the old guard here. I want to do the very best and what's right for the community."
Duncan could not be reached by phone Tuesday night.
Based upon what he has learned, Proctor opened an internal investigation. The Internal Affairs Unit is investigating the alleged involvement of police Capt. Ernest Williams, who lives near where the bags were found.
The disposal of the records may have broken state laws regarding proper disposal of documents or police procedures. When the investigation is over, Proctor said he will take proper disciplinary action if needed.
"I take a look at a completed investigation and look at if state law was violated or policy," Proctor said. "We'll go on from there."

Lane Kiffin now a strength for USC, not a hindrance; more Mailbag
Story Highlights
Trojans coach Lane Kiffin has proven he's more than a headline-maker
West Virginia's preseason hype largely stems from its big bowl showing
Widespread sanctions could result in too few teams being bowl eligible
The calendar has turned to August, which means preseason polls are nearly here, and it's a 99.9-percent certainty the top spot on each ranking will go to either LSU or USC. After a two-year hiatus, and while still in the midst of NCAA sanctions, the Trojans have returned to their annual role of short-list national title contender. But unlike in the past, their head coach is no longer a primary reason.
In fact, many probably view him as a hindrance.
Stewart, USC is receiving a lot of preseason attention as one of the favorites for the national championship. No question the Trojans have a lot of talent coming back from a team that performed well last year. But, in your opinion, is Lane Kiffin a good enough football coach to lead them to a championship? How much of last year's success can be attributed to player talent as opposed to Kiffin's coaching?
-- Jake Dawson, Reynolds, Ill.
I know there's a large contingent of you that doesn't want to believe it, but after bungling his first season at Tennessee, Kiffin is blossoming into a very good college head coach. Obviously he hasn't won anything of consequence yet, but there's plenty of evidence to suggest he knows what he's doing.
First of all, Pete Carroll didn't leave behind a finely tuned roster on his way to Seattle. Carroll and his staff made recruiting mistakes near the end of his tenure, and the talent drop-off was evident when the program went from producing 11 combined first- and second-round draft picks in Carroll's last two years (2008 and '09) to three in the two springs after he left. Attrition and the NCAA's transfer freedoms left Kiffin well short of 85 scholarships during his 8-5 debut season. It's a credit to his and his staff's recruiting prowess that USC was able to restock in such a short time, but it still took some serious coaching to get to 10 wins.
Last year's Trojans were incredibly young. By season's end they were starting eight first- or second-year players. Even when those youngsters are as gifted as receivers Robert Woods and Marquise Lee, there's bound to be growing pains, and USC looked fairly average during the first half of the season. But all a coach can ask for is that his team get consistently better, and the Trojans did just that. The defense allowed 17 or fewer points in five of their last seven games, and Matt Barkley and the offense were virtually unstoppable aside from an unfortunate end zone fumble in triple overtime against Stanford.
USC may not win the national championship, but I don't envision coaching being its downfall. I had two major preseason questions about the Trojans. One of them, running back depth, magically turned into a big strength with the addition of Penn State's Silas Redd. However the other, an inexperienced defensive line, looms even larger in the wake of starting defensive end Devon Kennard's torn pectoral muscle. USC's season may come down to its two possible meetings with Oregon, the one team in the country against which the ability to rotate fresh linemen is essential. Remember, USC is still under sanctions and still down 10 scholarships from its competition. The Trojans may or may not be able to overcome that, but Kiffin will manage the situation as well as any coach could. Really.
As a West Virginia alum, I'm excited about all the preseason publicity the Mountaineers have garnered, but I'm wondering how much is warranted and how much is a product of the Orange Bowl victory. This is still a team that was blasted by Syracuse, needed three late-season close victories to win the weak Big East, has numerous defensive changes in personnel and coaching and is making a huge step up in competition. Is WVU really a legitimate Big 12 title contender or should I anticipate something more along the lines of an Alamo Bowl berth instead?
-- Chris Errington, Largo, Fla.
Every year there's at least one team that gets a bump in the preseason rankings from a particularly impressive bowl showing, so it should be no surprise that the first team ever to score 70 is enjoying a particularly hefty spike. Big 12 media members were so deferential to the newcomers that they picked the Mountaineers to finish second to Oklahoma in their preseason poll, making them the only team besides the Sooners to earn multiple first-place votes. Chris is right, though: The Orange Bowl has made everyone forget that West Virginia finished the 2011 regular season 9-3, in a three-way tie for first in the Big East and behind five current Big 12 teams at No. 22 in the final BCS standings.
There's no question Dana Holgorsen's team has the makings of a lethal passing attack; I agree with those same media members' choice of Geno Smith over Landry Jones as the Big 12's top quarterback, and Tavon Austin and Steadman Bailey may be the league's two best receivers. But in the Big 12, unlike in the Big East, WVU is now one of many teams that can zing the ball around and score in a hurry. I'm skeptical of the Mountaineers' ability to stop the others. Last season WVU finished dead last in scoring defense during Big East play (28.9 points per game), in a conference where no team other than WVU averaged 30 points. In the Big 12, six did. And that poor average came before WVU lost longtime coordinator Jeff Casteel and first-round pass-rusher Bruce Irvin.
West Virginia's games should be highly entertaining. But in terms of wins and losses, I have a hard time believing the Mountaineers will post a better record in their first year in a tougher conference than they did in their last year in the lighter one.
Alabama QB AJ McCarron is often referred to as a "game manager." Is it better to be a "game manager" or a "system quarterback"?
-- Keith, Enterprise, Ala.
It depends -- are we using "game manager" as a compliment or a criticism? I've seen both.
I'll admit it, I didn't fully appreciate McCarron's contributions at the time last season. Like most people, I associated Alabama with a powerful running game and a dominant defense, so it was easy to think McCarron mostly stayed out of the way (at least until the BCS championship game, where he shined). In reality, McCarron was a highly effective quarterback all season. While he threw for a relatively modest 2,634 yards, McCarron averaged 8.03 yards per attempt, good for 24th nationally, and higher than some surprising names (Matt Barkley, Kirk Cousins and Aaron Murray among them). Throw in a 66.8 completion percentage and a 1.52 interception percentage (about the same as Robert Griffin III's 1.49), and you could argue McCarron excelled in his team's chosen system as much as some of those other "system" quarterbacks whose offenses throw more often. It goes without saying, then, that he was also an outstanding game manager, but I'm guessing most people who reference him that way aren't doing so as a compliment.

by Frank Turner Hollon, MacAdam/Cage, 2012; 223 pages, $20.
"The Book of Neil" contemplates the return of Jesus to our contemporary, self-absorbed world. It ponders what He might do to have us silence our cell phones, turn off our tablets and look away from Honey Boo-Boo — in essence, what He would have to do to be "seen."
"The first time I saw Jesus was on the fourteenth hole of Crystal Creek golf course on a Friday afternoon around 3:30. He was part of a threesome ahead of us ... I tried not to stare." So begins the wildly comic first chapter, in which Frank Turner Hollon introduces Neil, one of his book's four voices.
Neil is a discontented husband and father whose wife, especially, "has an unquenchable need for more. More money. More square feet of living space. More shoes. More everything." No wonder Neil readily agrees to help Jesus rob a local bank.
Jesus' plan is to let Neil keep the money they steal. All He wants is make an appearance in the media, which seems to keep people from talking to — not at — each other. The robbery is a way for Him to be seen as someone other than a deranged preacher on a street corner.
At this point, Hollon could have moved "The Book of Neil" into the wildly comic terrain he unearths in "Life is a Strange Place" and "Austin and Emily." Yet the book becomes not literary experiment, not satiric stunt, not cautionary caper. It subtly transforms itself into a sincere, deeply felt contemplation on what faith means to a world that increasingly embraces fragmentation. Hollon astonishes us by making "The Book of Neil" a sympathetic look at people who are as desperate for hope in this world as Neil is.
Three others also narrate their "gospels." Edwin, the police chief, cannot understand the family tragedy that continues to haunt him. Chris, the New York Times reporter covering the "Jesus Bandit" story, cannot believe in the existence of any greater power. Becky, the teller whom Jesus robs at the bank, cannot resist giving Jesus a home in her basement, hoping his presence will relieve the lack of symmetry in her life.
Frank Turner Hollon is represented in nearly every contemporary genre, police procedural to mystery, comic novel to children's book. Now he gives us parable, and again he refuses to judge any character, no matter how unseemly.
Surely, "The Book of Neil" is a bequest to us from Hollon, a contemporary writer anxious for us to possess the same understanding and compassion he himself has for the characters populating every one of his novels.
His is a gospel to embrace.

Q. What does Washington's Law Against Discrimination say about discrimination based on sexual orientation?
ESHB 2661 was signed by Governor Chris Gregoire on January 31, 2006. ESHB 2661 adds sexual orientation as a protected class in Washington State.
Sexual orientation nondiscrimination became effective and part of the Washington State Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60) on June 8, 2006.
The new law (RCW 49.60.040) says sexual orientation "means heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, and gender expression or identity. As used in this definition, gender expression or identity means having or being perceived to have a gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior, or expression, whether or not that gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior, or expression is different from that traditionally associated with the sex assigned to that person at birth."
Q. Does this law only protect gay people?
No. Everyone has a sexual orientation and everyone has a gender identity. Everyone will have equal protection under the law with regard to sexual orientation. Although gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals are statistically the most frequent targets of sexual orientation discrimination, the law protects heterosexual persons from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation as well. For example, the law will protect a heterosexual person who is discriminated against in employment because he or she is heterosexual.
Q. Does Washington State condone homosexuality or same gender marriage?
No. In fact, the law (49.60.040) specifically says, "This chapter shall not be construed to endorse any specific belief, practice, behavior, or orientation. Inclusion of sexual orientation in this chapter shall not be construed to modify or supersede state law relating to marriage."
Q. What is "gender expression or identity"?
Gender identity or expression is defined in state law as "having or being perceived as having a gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior, or expression, whether or not that gender identity, self-image, appearance, behavior, or expression is different from that traditionally associated with the sex assigned to that person at birth."
An interchangeable term you may hear is "transgender." This term is a common umbrella one for a broad range of people who experience and/or express their gender differently from what most people expect – either in terms of expressing a gender that does not match the sex listed on one's original birth certificate, or physically changing one's sex (transsexuals). It also includes people who are cross-dressers or otherwise gender non-conforming. Gender identity and expression also includes males and females who do not express their gender in stereotypically masculine or feminine ways – e.g. through dress or behavior.
Applicable to insurers
Q. What is the responsibility of insurers with respect to sexual orientation?
Sexual orientation, which includes gender identity and expression, is not a permissible consideration in insurance. Insurers may not refuse to issue or cancel or decline to renew insurance coverage on the basis of sexual orientation, nor may insurers offer different amounts of benefits payable, terms, rates, conditions, or types of coverage on the basis of sexual orientation.
Q. May an insurer discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation where bona fide statistical differences in risk or exposure have been substantiated?
No. Although state law allows insurers to use actuarial distinctions in coverage on the basis of sex, marital status, or handicap, no such exception exists for sexual orientation. No discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is permissible.

Bro. George opened to I Kings 15:16-24, "Will You Fizzle, Flop, or Finish?" As we read, God told Asa to remove the sacrifices from the high places but he didn't. He thought nothing of it. Do we do the same? We pick our battles if we worship God or an idol. Truth or lies. Reality or Fantasy. Obedience or Rebellion. You see we are given the ability to choose for ourselves.
Satan places obstructions in our path. He uses apathy to prevent us from achieving more but it can be overcome by the spirit. Satan will bribe us, he will misplace our trust causing us to mis-spend God's tithes. For when we spend God's money on ourselves or the latest electronic device then we have failed him. No two ways about it. God is there for us but we have to be here for him. He knows all, He sees all.
We closed welcoming David and Casey Winkles by statement and David will be leading our music as Tim Zimmerman focuses as Minister of Education. Lastly but most important, we welcome another body into the baptismal waters! AMEN!!

Christopher Dale Grayson, 31; Audrianna Triana Swink, 22; and Justin Javarius Cleveland, 24, all from Anniston, were charged with first-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony.
Anniston police Capt. Allen George said on Aug. 4 police were dispatched to AJ's Sunset Bar and Grille on the 1500 block of Hillyer Robinson Parkway. George said a woman tried to use a fake $100 bill at the bar. The bar's security detained the woman until police arrived, he said. While officers were questioning the woman, a man tried to use another fake $100 bill, the captain said.
Both suspects, who were identified as Swink and Cleveland, said they didn't know the money was counterfeit, George said. Swink and Cleveland also told police they didn't know each other, he said.
The following day, police received a report from The Smoking Moose on the 1200 block of Noble Street that employees discovered 14 counterfeit $100 bills were used at the bar on the night of Aug. 4, George said.
Police reviewed surveillance video footage from The Smoking Moose, George said, and identified Swink, Cleveland and Grayson as the suspects. George said another arrest could be pending in the case.
All three suspects were released by this morning on bonds from the Anniston City Jail. Swink was charged with two counts of possession of a forged instrument, a felony, and her bond was $20,000. Cleveland is charged with one count of possession of a forged instrument, and his bond was $10,000. Police charged Grayson with possession of a forged instrument as well as attempting to elude police and third-degree criminal trespassing, both misdemeanors. Grayson's bond was $10,800. Court appearances are scheduled for Sept. 16.

>Racing>marathon flip flop record
This just seems a little wrong. My feet start to hurt after a mile in flip flops.
2014 goals: don't get injured
I'm told it's all about the kind you run in. I've got a buddy who runs in Nike Celso flips who just finished a trail 60K in them. He swears by them, and tells me if I ever try a pair, I'll never buy huaraches again.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
2:46 says it's right...
"Many friends have asked if I'll do it again and my answer has been a resounding 'no,'" Levasseur said. "If someone breaks the record, I will simply congratulate them."
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject.
He looks very healthy.
Do anybody feel some marathon runners not healthy? I mean they look so skinny like lack of nutrition. I know they are very strong and lean.

You mean that skinny cadaver look that fast marathon runners have? Yeah, they are actually healthy too.
I thought this thread was about a particularly long presidential debate.

How much small ball will the Celtics play?
|Posted by shawn cassidy on October 1, 2012 at 11:55 PM
The Celtics have the best point guard to execute small ball. Throughout the 2012 playoff run. The Boston Celtics played small ball most of the time. They lost Jermaine O'neal (good riddance), and Chris Wilcox mid-way through the year in 2012. The Celtics were limited with bigs, or at least bigs that could produce after they lost JO, and Wilcox. The Celtics signed guys like Ryan Hollins, and Sean Willimas before the playoffs, but they had many liabilities. So the Celtics had no choice but to play small ball.
"We played a lot of small ball last year, with Paul at the 4 and Mickael Pietrus [at the 3], but obviously we have Jeff this year, a couple other guys, so, we can mix it up a little bit more this year, as far as depth," said Rondo.
The Celtics had great success with small lineups last year. This season the Celtics have even more guys that can contribute through small ball. Jeff Green,and Lee are two additions that could send the Celtics over the top on that front. Doc's been expressing with this seasons versatility on the roster. Rivers has mentioned he'll give some heavy thinking on mixing-and-matching units that allow Boston to give other teams issues.
"[Rondo] will be very happy. We put [the small lineups] in yesterday, but we didn't work on it. Today, almost exclusively, we'll have small lineups on the floor," said Rivers. "We're going to change them all around, so that will be fun. This is the first year that we've actually really worked on it. We're going to work on it every day."
The Celtics will have a lineup ready for any occasion. The Celtics can go big, or small. Whatever they need to do, they can do with the depth this season.

The thing is, we should be able to go big too, especially if Darko works out at all.

Make Rondo happy!!!

Will be able to go big with many lineups. Or small teams need to fear that.

Georges Méliès (December 8, 1861 – January 21, 1938), full name Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès, was a French filmmaker famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest cinema. He was very innovative in the use of special effects. He accidentally discovered the stop trick, or substitution, in 1896, and was one of the first filmmakers to use multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color in his films. Because of his ability to seemingly manipulate and transform reality through cinematography, Méliès is sometimes referred to as the "Cinemagician."
Méliès was born in Paris, where his family manufactured shoes. He had two older brothers, Henri and Gaston. Before making films, he was a stage magician at the Theatre Robert-Houdin. In 1895, he became interested in film after seeing a demonstration of the Lumière brothers' camera. In 1897, he established a studio on a rooftop property in Montreuil. Actors performed in front of a painted… read more

Harper Government Invests in Water and Wastewater Projects on Reserve
WINNIPEG, Feb. 17, 2014 /CNW/ - The Government of Canada is committed to working with First Nations to support strong and healthy communities. Through the Economic Action Plan 2014, the Government of Canada is delivering on its commitment to address water and wastewater issues by extending the First Nation Water and Wastewater Action Plan (FNWWAP) with further investments of $323.4 million over the next two years.
These new investments will build upon the concrete action the Government of Canada has taken to support First Nation communities in improving water and wastewater infrastructure. This includes the recent passage of the Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act, enhanced capacity building and operator training, and the protection of public health.
These investments will continue to support the comprehensive long-term plan to improve drinking water and wastewater systems on First Nation lands, founded on four pillars: enhanced capacity building and operator training; enforceable standards and protocols; infrastructure investments; and protection of public health.
Quick Facts
"Improving water quality in First Nation communities is a priority for our Government and I am extremely pleased that EAP 2014 includes $323.4 million over two years to improve water and waste water infrastructure in First Nation communities. Our Government will continue working with First Nations towards our shared goal of ensuring that First Nations have the same access to safe, clean drinking water in their communities as all other Canadians."
Bernard Valcourt
Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
"Our Government is committed to ensuring that First Nation communities have access to safe drinking water. Through continued investments in the First Nations Water and Wastewater Action Plan, we are working with First Nations to monitor and provide advice on drinking water quality and support for wastewater programming, including public health inspections and public education in First Nations communities."
Rona Ambrose
Minister of Health
"MKO and the Island Lake First Nations are pleased that Budget 2014 commits $323.4 million over the next two years to bring clean running water into more homes in the Island Lake and other MKO First Nations. The additional investment in retrofitting homes with indoor plumbing and in water and wastewater treatment systems will enhance the health and well-being of everyone living in these First Nations. The additional investments through the First Nations Water and Wastewater Action Plan will also result in positive economic impacts through retrofitting and construction projects in the communities. MKO looks forward to making future investments in community water and wastewater lines that will connect all homes to clean running water and to wastewater treatment systems."

Comments On Dec 02, 2013:after wiring in the harness and all the necessary tusk switches we found we wanted to have the tail light turn on with the head light switch but it is wired for the running lights to be on when the switch is turned on yellow and black leads. I had to run a new wire to the red wire on the tusk rear brake light harness with (2) 6 amp diodes from radio shack wired each one to the high and low head lights this way they could not back feed and make all the headlights work regardless if high or low switch is on. Now we can run the running lights with the high and low switch and off when we don't want to be seen while ridding in low light conditions. The brake works regardless this way you use the brake in traffic and it work if you forget to turn on the running lights. The yellow and black wire up front is the common link for the entire wiring harness we just plugged them into them selves, we had a master switch installed for the power lead.

Comments On Nov 16, 2012:I have wired 2 bikes now with this harness and it works great. Ive wired a kx450 and a crf150r to make them street legal in AZ. This harness makes it much easier, especially if you are wanting to add turn signals, rear light, etc. HIghly recommended.

Comments On Oct 12, 2012:It took me around1.5 hrs to hook everything up. I bought everything tusk, and everything was just a plug and play, easy to follow instructions, would HIGHLY recommend!

Comments On Aug 14, 2012:Approximately 6 months and 1000 miles with no trouble. The install was simple, all the parts are good and wires of adequate length. It would be nice to have one switch for power and control's as two take up too much bar space. The battery life is surprising (unless you leave the power on). I have been charging once a month and have had no depletion problems.

Comments On Jun 05, 2012:I used this as a wiring harness for my custom street legal kit. I used Tusk control, piaa horn, custom LED blinkers, and a Tusk flasher relay. I had to cut and splice a bit because I didn't use all Tusk parts, but it was well worth the money to have a harness already wrapped up, plugs on, and ready to go. I'd buy again.

Comments On May 12, 2011:A very nice kit. I live in Nevada and the kit is a little short on equipment. You need two mirrors and three reflectors. The stock mirror is just for show not very safe to see whats coming up behind you, like a full size pickup and the driver is on his/her cell phone at a stop light. The wiring for the high and low beam switch takes a little time to figure out. I made my own aluminum brackets for the front turn signals and mounted them to the top triple clamp bolts. Horn bracket was bent 90 and mounted on the right top triple clamp bolt. I tried to mount every thing behind the headlight but not on the head light faring. A little trimming to the signal relay and bolted it to the silver bracket behind the light. So when i remove the light nothing is attached to it. Replace the rear fender with an 05 YZ450. I bought the Kenda DP tires because they where cheep, but man I am impressed on how they work for the money. I have gotten 55 and 45 miles to the gallon so far after 400 miles. I am running a 15 front and 50 rear sprockets, good for 60-65 cruising speed. Topped out about 90 with this gearing, ordering a 41 and 47 rear to see what they do with the stock 14 and 15 front. Need a larger tank too, only get about 70-100 miles to a tank, depends on how you ride. I can't stay out of the throttle!

Comments On Nov 11, 2010:I have to say, I am so impressed with Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.
This kit was very well priced and the instruction videos on YouTube are perfect. It took an hour or two to install the kit and it functions perfectly. I watched the video in my garage on my laptop while I did it and it answered all the questions I had about cable routing, etc.
I researched a bunch of other dualsport kits for my 08 WR450F, but this one had great reviews and was so well priced I bought it. One great thing about this kit is that it is completely stand alone from my WR's electrical system so it's easy to remove if you wanted to because you don't have to hack into your existing harness, etc.
I have to replace my fork seals next and again, the videos have given me the confidence to do this on my own instead of going to the shop.
Thank you RMATVMC!!!

Not sure about the Seattle area, but every supply house (Ferguson, Winnelson, Kemper, etc.) here in Cincinnati carries a dual check backflow preventer. Ask for a 3/4" Watts Series 7 dual check valve.
As far as the silcocks go, you can install a hose connection vacuum breaker on them.
Check on Watts Regulator's website. www.wattsreg.com/products/
You can do a search for the Series 7 and the vacuum breaker. I tried to post links to both pages, but for some reason I cant. Both products are there however.
Good luck!

Dr. Mabuse's House of Fun
Pithy, very pithy.
Weblogs such as this make me cringe in my inadequacy, with my little pathetic weblog carrying only daily life of a mad housewife and beach bum.
Very well written weblog by an astute individual, but not for the easily frustrated or the functional illiterate.
Gritty design that navigates well, with loads of excellent links that flow with the style of "edrants.com".
The section titled "High School Search Requests" brought back old school memories best left forgotten for me. That's why I use an alias on the web.
"But if Suzanne is reading this blog (or anyone else for that matter), there's an e-mail link at the top right-hand corner of the screen." gave answer to how to get in touch for the "anyone else" (namely Me, who was reading this blog), but I was afraid he would not only bite, but review MY blog(s), or sic "Tom" on me.
The section entitled "German Language Lessons" had me screaming with laughter at the thought of Ed checking his lower anatomy for "doopups"-ness.
Rant on, Ed! You've got a new reader...

My name is modelname
This suite is awesome. It is much thicker than your traditional suite. It is double lined in front AND back! I think this suite will last a long time!
I typically wear a 32, but a 32 in this suit was way too small. Be cautious with size when ordering.
I used this suit for teaching swimming lessons and swim club. The sizing on the suit is slightly larger than a Speedo Endurance (which I view as a little small), but it has better rear end, leg, and back coverage which is a must for swimming lessons. It is a polyester suit, so there isn't much give when putting it on, but once it is on it feels great! The only issue that I have come up with it so far is that the lining is made out of a stretchier material, and if you aren't paying attention, the black lining may stick out around the leg openings. The colors are very vibrant, I had ordered the Pink and was pleasantly surprised at how bright it actually was. When I get my next suit it will be this one again and you can't beat the price. Happy enough with this suit to want to wear it for my next triathlon!
Works great for my 8 year old daughter''s twice a week swim practice.
Good swimsuit, fits well and coverage is great.
Good deal for the price tag, but not for me.Not having purchased this brand suit before, I have no comparison. This one fit small, a little high cut in front, low in back, and thin material. Not being a racer, or even experienced swimmer, I don't know if these are desired qualities in a suit...or if I ordered the wrong size.As always, custmer service, from website to door, was great! I hope I find the right suit in my next order.
Both of my girls are using this suit for their regular season high school meets and they love it!
My daughter uses this suit for swim practice and meets. The polyester hold up great. This particular Sporti suit came in solid royal blue, which is her team color. The actual team suit is made from Lycra, which doesn''t last long when used regularly in the pool. The team suit is also three times as much money, which makes this suit a great bargain.
Nice practice swimsuit, comfortable and well designed.
Simple, classic suit, but smaller than other Sporti styles previously ordered.

Conventional wisdom says that when the government expands the money supply, the money descends on the economy in a uniform blanket. This is incorrect. The money is injected into specific locations causing hot spots or 'cones.' Mr. Maybury explains a system for tracking and profiting from these cones, for locating genuine money-making opportunities, and for avoiding those which are false or dangerous. Includes step-by-step instructions, and clever illustrations that make the system easy to understand. Explains how to cope with recessions and avoid unemployment. This book is the second sequel to Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? and should be read after The Money Mystery. Can be used for courses in Economics, Business, Finance, Government and History. Ages 14 through Adult.

I have been buying these bandages for about a year, they made of quality material but inexpensive enough that I can throw them away without feeling guilty. I have RSDS in my whole left arm, I suffer from hypersencitivity also. I use the bandages to cover up that whle area to keep it from rubbing it anywhere, and these bandages don't hurt me either.1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

About 250 students from high schools across the state put their firefighting skills to the test during the 10th annual Fire Science Muster in Glendale.
"Here's like the culmination of their entire school year where they've learned all their fire science techniques and they get to show it off today," said Capt. Darrell B. Wiseman with Phoenix Fire Department.
Fire science students from all around the state took part in the competition.
It's a team based relay where each student gets to do one sequence of events--and timing is everything.
During the first part of the competition, they suit up by putting on the fire fighting gear, then it's time to put on the breathing equipment, run a water supply from a fire hydrant--and it doesn't stop there.
Students had to pull a 150 firefighting attack line and perform a simulated rescue.
"I think a big part that's challenging is running because you have all this heavy gear on, trying to run with steel toed boots that are hard to run in," said Hyland Boswell with Apollo's fire science.
Some future firefighters say competitions like this give them a head start on the type of skills they'll need on the job.
I've never realized how hard a firefighter has it and how much danger they put themselves in," said Boswell.
But this competition is more than just about being a firefighter.
"We're just not talking about being firefighters because not everyone's going to be a firefighter. There's everybody from dispatcher to fire prevention engineers," said Wiseman.
The winning team took home a traveling trophy and a new appreciation of a day on the job.
We want these people to be on top of the technology and this is the generation to do it," said Wiseman. "You can ask any instructor out here, we're just like proud parents."
Sunrise Mountain High School and Liberty High School took first place for the boys team and
the girls team from Franklin Fire and Police High School also finished first.

There were certainly goals on Sunday, but here we take a look at a few of the other important figures that made our meeting with Aston Villa such a one-sided affair…
The eight goals we scored matches the margin of victory against Wigan Athletic on the final day of the 2009/10 season. Yesterday we had seven scorers, on that day only five.
Chelsea dominated with 26 attempts to Villa's seven, and 17 of those 26 coming in a one-sided second half.
Of the nine in the first half, we hit the target with five and scored with three. Villa's only shot on target during the 90 minutes brought a superb save from an otherwise unworked Petr Cech.
We completed 457 of our 559 passes, a rate of 87 per cent, and boasted 56.5 per cent possession against Villa.
Since Rafa Benitez arrived, he has encouraged the side to be more direct in the final third, and a reflection of our dominance is that despite this, we still attempted 191 passes in that area, the most since we beat Norwich 4-1 in early October.
Despite the margin of victory, Villa completed more crosses into the box, with four, than we did - just three. Fernando Torres did however head us in front after just a couple of minutes.
Villa were caught offside five times to our three, suggestin Benitez's side dealt well, as planned, with the counter-attack.
Chelsea committed just six fouls all afternoon, Villa 11, and neither side received a yellow card. Perhaps that shows just how little competition there was on the day.
Ramires had two shots, put them both on target, and both ended up in the net. Branislav Ivanovic also converted his only effort.
David Luiz, playing in midfield, attempted four shots, more than any other player on the pitch. He was also important defensively, making six interceptions, four more than anyone else.
Cesar Azpilicueta attempted 76 passes, more than any other player, and completed 68. David Luiz was also highly influential, completing 64 of his 74. Ashley Cole misplaced only two of his 59. These three were able to get forward and influence attacks more than they would have expected in a tighter contest.
