Eating healthy doesn't have to mean endless lunches of limp salads with fat-free dressings. Simple substitutions in meals you make can cut down on fat, calories, sugar or salt without sacrificing flavor. In many cases, taking an all-natural approach adds more flavor than the traditional or prepackaged recipes you may know with no added time or expense. Here are 5 easy ways to put a healthy spin on the foods you're already loving:
1. Swap in Greek yogurt
Many fruit-on-the-bottom style yogurt cups are full of sugar, and some use gelatin to make it thick. Non-fat Greek yogurt, however, is sugar-free, and it's thick because it's strained, which is why it's packed with protein (that means it keeps you feeling full and energized). Try going Greek for breakfast or a snack -- you can add fresh fruit if you're still craving a bit of sweetness. Or, embrace its natural sourness and use it instead of sour cream to top your quesadillas or tacos.
2. Cut down on salt
Eating healthier isn't just about cutting fat and calories. Too much sodium in your diet can raise your blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease. But reducing your salt use doesn't have to mean cutting flavor. Substitute different seasonings and spices, like garlic powder, fresh herbs, or smoked paprika, and try cooking with different peppers like poblanos, habaneros, or cachuchas for a little added kick.
3. Trade your ordinary eggs for Eggland's Best
Eggland's Best eggs come from hormone-free hens that are fed an all natural, vegetarian diet. In fact, Eggland's Best eggs have 25% less saturated fat, twice the Omega-3, and more Vitamin E, D, and B12 compared with ordinary eggs. So whether you're making an omelet or baking a cake, take advantage of the added nutrients.
4. Ditch the mayo
It's tangy and tasty, but mayo is also loaded with fat and saturated fat. Instead of smearing it (even it's low-fat cousin isn't so good for you) on your sandwich, try different relishes, mustards, or hot sauces like ají criollo. A jalapeño relish or mustards of different spice levels also make a zingy tuna salad, and using mustard to make your egg salad gives it a deviled egg effect without having to evenly slice and scoop out the eggs.
5. Spritz it up with some Seltzer
Plain seltzer water has no calories or sugar, so using it to cut your favorite fruit juice makes a great alternative to sodas or even to drinking straight-up fruit juice (and it spares you the aspartame of diet soda, too). You can also use your fizzy fruit juice or a store-bought flavored seltzer with the alcohol of your choice as an alternative to sugary cocktails mixes.

The gymnasium-bath house complex covered 23.000 square metres. It's built in the "Imperial Style", implying that it is symmetrical along one axis, with at one end a central hot house (caldarium). It is supposed to have been completed in the middle of the second century AD . It has been repaired and modified through the following centuries, until it was abandoned following the Sassanid invasion in 616.

An iconostasis (also iconostas or icon screen) is a screen or wall which serves as a stable support for icons and marks the boundary between the nave and the altar or sanctuary. The term can also refer to a folding, portable set of icons. There has been historically and continues to be a vast range of styles for iconostases: Some are simply two icons of the Theotokos and the Lord; the most complex, cathedral icon screens have multiple tiers with many icons per tier. The iconostasis is perhaps the most distintive feature of Byzantine rite churches. It evolved from the Byzantine templon, originally a small rail without icons that marked the boundary between the nave and the altar.
A typical layout
A number of guidelines or rubrics govern which icons are on which parts of the iconostasis, although there is some room for variation. There are also guidelines for who should enter or leave the altar by which door. These guidelines were developed over the course of many centuries, with both theologically symbolic and practical reasons for them.
Though they vary in size, shape and number of icons, the following is a basic layout of an icon screen which one might find in typical parish church.
- An icon of the Theotokos with the Lord. This indicates the beginning of the end of time, the time of our salvation.
- An icon of The Lord, usually as All-ruler (Pantocrator), the just judge of all our works. This indicates the end of all time, the awesome day of judgment.
- Icon of Saint John, the Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptizer of the Lord.
- Icon of the patron of the temple, or of its patronal feast.
- The holy doors (or the Royal Doors). These usually are a diptych of the Annunciation. Sometimes they may also have the icons of the four evangelists.
- North door (the north and south doors are often called "deacon's doors"). This will usually depict a deacon, usually St. Stephen the Protomartyr, or an archangel, usually St. Michael.
- South door. The same as above, though if a deacon is depicted, it is usually St. Philip or St. Lawrence, and if an archangel, usually St. Gabriel.
- These icons (when present) are usually saints especially near to a parish or nation, such as Ss. Nicholas, George the Trophy-bearer, Demetrius the Myrrh-streaming, Sergius of Radonezh, Andrew the First-called, Herman of Alaska, or Seraphim of Sarov.
- This is usually the icon of the Mystical Supper, the last supper our Lord ate with his friends and wherein he instituted the Eucharist.
If there is a second tier, it will usually contain icons of the Twelve Great Feasts. Other tiers will depict the patriarchs, prophets and apostles.

One Thornton police officer answering a call of a man wielding a bat and knife tried to stop the suspect with a Taser, but when that failed his partner shot the attacker to death, authorities say.
The name of the 31-year-old dead man has not been released pending notification of family members, Matt Barnes, Thornton police spokesman, said .
He was taken to a local hospital where he was declared dead.
The officer who fired a fatal shot has been placed on routine paid leave while the case is investigated, Barnes said.
Police were called around 7:30 p.m. after the suspect allegedly threatened neighbors with the bat and knife and was yelling, Barnes said.
Immediately after the two officers arrived at 2642 East 98th Pl. and climbed out of their patrol car, the man charged after them, swinging his bat, Barnes said.
The officers repeatedly yelled commands for the man to stop and put down his weapons but the man kept coming, he said.
One officer fired a Taser at the suspect, but the weapon didn't stop the man.
At that point the second police officer fired at the suspect and killed him. Barnes said he does not know how many shots the officer fired.
That is under investigation by the Adams County Critical Incident Team, he said.
Investigators are also trying to determine why the Taser didn't stop the man.
"Sometimes the probes don't engage or the person rips them out," Barnes said. "It's too early in the investigation to know."
One witness told The Denver Post through Twitter that he heard more than three shots fired in the area of Yorkborough Park Friday night after police searched the area with dogs for someone.
The dead suspect had a prior drunken driving arrest in 2008, Barnes said.

Brian T. Finney, a graduate of Hendersonville High School, is making his mark as a writer and actor in Los Angeles.
About Finney's one-man stage adaptation of Joseph Conrad's The "Heart of Darkness," now playing at The Actor's Gang Theater in Culver City, Calif., Charles McNulty of the Los Angeles Times says, "His performance adapts a simmering tone that threatens to erupt into a full boil." Another reviewer says of Finney, "He is Marlow; the narrator, the voyager. He becomes every character."
Although "Heart of Darkness" became a reality only recently, the process of its creation, like most artistic endeavors, has come about slowly. It began, Finney explains, with a personal commitment to read some of the classics he had missed in school. When he read Conrad's story of the ravages of corporate greed, he was struck by the novel's timeliness as well as Conrad's rich, vibrant language and sense of place.
"I first read 'Heart of Darkness' around 10 years ago," writes Finney in an article about his play in the Huffington Post. "I was thrilled by the journey to the Congo and up the Congo River, a place unknown to Europeans. I loved Conrad's dry irony describing the absurdity of the company which employed Marlowe. I was fascinated by Conrad's words in explaining 'the horror,' the final words spoken by the character of Kurtz."
About four years after he read "Heart of Darkness," while on tour in Melbourne, Australia, Finney attended a performance by the Japanese Butoh dancing troupe called Dumb Type. All aspects of the performance fascinated Finney, particularly a lone, naked light bulb swaying back and forth on stage. That single image inspired him. "It reminded me of the anchor light on a mast," says Finney, who began to imagine the possibilities of a stage version of the classic existential novel.
He began to work on the adaptation, going through several versions, taking Conrad's already tight prose and continuing to cut it into a manageable form for the stage. Working with longtime friend and colleague Keythe Farley, director of "Heart of Darkness," Finney produced the first draft last year when artistic director and founder of The Actor's Gang, actor Tim Robbins, approached the veteran members of the company and asked them an exciting question. After complimenting them on the wonderful work they had done for him through the years, Robbins asked, "What do you want to do?"
Without hesitation, Finney knew the answer. He wanted to produce "Heart of Darkness." Robbins agreed to give the play a try, starting with a "zero budget production, just to see," says Finney. The results were positive, and the theater began to plan a full production.
Opening this April, "Heart of Darkness" has been a great success. First meant to close May 18, the run has been extended to June 1.
The success of "Heart of Darkness" is allowing Finney to broaden his role in the socially conscious mission of The Actor's Gang by using Conrad's 19th century journey down the Congo and "the horror" of it to highlight the same horror that exists today. In his author notes for the play, Finney writes, "The horror continues, but instead of being silent, as Marlow chose to do, we must speak about it. The horror won't end if nobody knows it exists."
Although Finney admits that he's thrilled with the success of "Heart of Darkness," it is only one of many triumphs in a distinguished career already spanning decades.
And it began in Hendersonville.
When Finney was in junior high school, he first became interested in theater through his brother Andrew, six years his senior. Tom Orr, longtime English and theater teacher at Hendersonville High, remembers both brothers and how they found such joy in theater. "They could do anything with props," says Orr, "just having a wonderful good time finding play in performance."
When Orr first encountered the younger Finney, however, there was a shyness about him to which Finney himself admits, but Orr soon recognized a "wonderful wry sense of humor — and creativity."
Through high school, Finney continued to grow as an actor, performing in many plays and winning competitions.
"Brian taught me an important lesson," Orr recalls. "Don't overlook the people sitting in the back row."
Ironically, Finney credits Orr with helping him find his passion, saying, "Mr. Orr was one of those teachers who changes lives."
Following high school, Brian followed his brother Andrew to the North Carolina School of the Arts, where he studied for two years before heading out West to Seattle. There he and some of his fellow students from the School of the Arts established the Annex Theatre that still exists today. While Finney worked on a short film in LA, The Actor's Gang heard about his work and asked him to come join the company. That was more than 20 years ago.
Although Finney holds TV and movie credits, including appearances in television series like "Grimm" and "Modern Family," as well as movies such as "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," it is The Actor's Gang where he does his most significant work.
Finney speaks enthusiastically about the work the nonprofit does with disadvantaged children and teens through its free after-school acting classes, summer camps and pay-what-you-can performances of Shakespeare in the park. The theater's slogan — Entertain, Educate, Empower — is also evident in its program called the Prison Project, bringing The Actor's Gang's trademark style of theater to California prisons.
Finney explains how the company uses a style of theater popular in Italy, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries, called Commedia dell'arte. "We teach four basic emotions: happy, sad, angry or afraid. We train them to be in one of these states," says Finney, explaining that many inmates have never truly touched these basic emotions. In an interview with CBS Los Angeles, Zach, an inmate who has been through the program says, "You find out who you really are. You feel free."
Fully immersed in acting at work, Finney continues his connection to the theater in his personal life. Finney is married to actor Ashley Gardner, best known as the voice of Nancy Gribble on the animated show "King of the Hill." Also, their twins, Jesse and Virginia, are active in summer camps and after-school theater programs, continuing a tradition of educational theater begun many years ago in a little town in the mountains of North Carolina.

I'm sure some of you would love to install and use Photoshop on your Linux box. So while I prefer using GIMP, I will still show you how to install Adobe Photoshop inside Linux with the help of Wine (not the alcoholic drink) just in case your photo shop classes or jobs require you to setup and use it. On this tutorial, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" and Photoshop CS4.
Now let's get started and install Adobe Photoshop on Ubuntu Linux:
* Downloading and Installing Wine
The first thing that you should do is to install Wine. Using the Linux terminal, add the WineHQ APT repository with this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
To download and install Wine on Ubuntu, just click HERE.
A pop-up will appear, just click "OK".
After installing Wine, you will have to download and install a few more packages. One of which is winetricks.
winetricks is a simple script to download and install various redistributable runtime libraries sometimes needed to run programs in Wine.
winetricks is a simple script to download and install various redistributable runtime libraries sometimes needed to run programs in Wine.
To get winetricks and the other needed packages, just copy and paste this command:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
Now install them:
sh winetricks msxml6 gdiplus gecko vcrun2005
You should also install Microsoft TTF fonts:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
Before we will install Photoshop CS4, we will have to download a .dll file. Get atmlib.dll from HERE.
Extract the zip file and copy atmlib.dll to c:/windows/system32. To do this, go to Applications menu -->Wine -->Browse C:\ Drive, then navigate to windows -->system32 and paste atmlib.dll there. After that go to Applications menu --> Wine --> Configure Wine. Inside the Libraries tab, add atmlib.dll and click on "Apply."
* Installing Photoshop CS4 on Ubuntu
You can now run the Photoshop CS4 installer via Wine with this command:
LANG=C wine Setup.exe
Note: you may need to add the path to your installer
Just install Photoshop the way you do it on Windows and you are done.
* Running Photoshop CS4 on Ubuntu
You can now start using Photoshop by going to Applications -->Wine -->Programs, and then selecting Photoshop CS4. Have fun, but don't forget to try GIMP :-)

Congress is coming perilously close to leaving Washington, D.C., without passing a farm bill. It is vitally important that a new five-year farm bill to be signed into law before Jan. 1, 2013 for the following reasons.
- Thirty-seven programs that were included in the 2008 Farm Bill did not include baseline funding beyond Sept. 30. In order for these very important programs – five of which of which deal with conservation efforts and eight are related to renewable energy production – to continue, funding must be authorized in a new farm bill and they will continue to be dormant after Jan. 1.
- Major dairy programs – including Milk Income Loss Contracts (MILC) and the Dairy Product Price Support Program (DPPSP) – expired with the end of the 2008 Farm Bill. If no action is taken on the farm bill by Jan. 1, federal dairy policy will revert to 1938 and 1949 law. This would result in a parity-based government-backed price of about $38/hundredweight for milk. Although farmers may benefit in the short run, the longer-term effects of a government buy-up of dairy products would be damaging to the dairy industry and consumption patterns.
- Further challenges related to commodities will arise at the first harvest of the 2013 crop year in late spring, when winter wheat will be also be subject to 1938 and 1949 law. Commodities harvested thereafter would be subject to parity pricing structures that are not in step with today's economy.
- There is no permanent disaster protection program in place, even as most of the counties across the nation were declared agricultural disaster areas by the USDA at some point during 2012, and 55% of the nation's pasture and rangeland rated in poor to very poor condition.
- Like any business, farmers need certainty in today's challenging economic times. Further delays in writing a five-year farm bill are problematic as farmers try to plan for the future or to secure credit. Agriculture employs 16 million Americans and Congress must provide some stability for those farmers, ranchers and rural businesses.
- An opportunity to make major reforms to farm policy will be lost if no action is taken by Jan. 1. Both the House Agriculture Committee and the Senate versions of the farm bill eliminate the much-criticized direct-payments program, which pays crop farmers regardless of whether prices are high or low. If that program were extended for just one year, it would eliminate at least $5 billion of the $23 billion in budget savings in the Senate-passed bill. Congress can preserve those savings by passing a five-year farm bill this year that ends the direct payments program.
For these reasons, we stand united in support of a new five-year farm bill; any temporary extension would be a short-sighted, inadequate solution that would leave our rural America crippled by uncertainty. If a new farm bill is not passed by the end of the year, even deeper effects will be felt by all sectors of agriculture that will jeopardize the long-term viability of farm and conservation programs.

Virginia police deliver recovered playground sign back to Stonington
Mystic — "It's about Gracie and Chase."
Those were the words of Herndon, Va., police Lt. Jim Moore Wednesday afternoon after he and Detective Michael Croson had driven seven hours to turn over the purple peace sign stolen from the playground behind the Ocean Community YMCA that is dedicated to Grace McDonnell, one of the children killed in the Sandy Hook massacre.
A second sign had been taken from a playground in Mantoloking, N.J., dedicated in memory of Chase Kowalski, another child killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
After Grace's sign was taken on May 6, Stonington Detective Sgt. David Knowles conducted a computer-based investigation and was able to identify the address of the man now charged with stealing signs from two playgrounds dedicated to Sandy Hook victims.
After identifying the address on the afternoon of May 27, Knowles alerted Herndon police early the next morning. They quickly obtained a search warrant for the residence of Andrew Truelove, 28, and recovered the signs on May 30. Truelove admitted during questioning to taking the signs, according to Herndon police.
"This is not about the Herndon or Stonington police department. It's about Gracie and Chase and that's why we're here," Moore said during a press conference in front of the Stonington Police Department, where the two signs were on display.
Knowles, who hugged Moore and Croson when he met them for the first time Wednesday, said the investigation was the best example of cooperation between police departments and the media to solve a case that he's seen in his 28 years as an officer.
Knowles said it was a great feeling to play a role in recovering the signs and to be able "to say to everybody, we got the signs."
Stonington Police Chief J. Darren Stewart said hundreds of people volunteered to help build the playground, which opened April 27, and everyone was saddened by another senseless act when the sign was stolen. He said Knowles, who heads the department's detective division, was "all over the case from day one and was determined to solve it."
He said the identification and arrest of Truelove and the return of the signs were the result of good old-fashioned police work, computer technology and "help from our new friends in Herndon, Virginia."
Because the sign was replaced at the playground last week, the recovered signs will be given to the parents of Grace and Chase, according to Stonington police Capt. Jerry Desmond.
He said it was important to not only police but the communities involved to solve the case and support the memorial efforts to honor the victims of Sandy Hook.
Desmond added that the investigation remains open. It will be up to the New London County state's attorney office to pursue larceny charges against Truelove and decide whether to extradite him from Virginia, where he has been held on charges in unrelated cases since May 26 — four days before the search of his home uncovered the signs.
After the theft, someone claiming to have taken the sign called McDonnell's mother and called the shooting at Sandy Hook a hoax. Earlier this month, Moore said photos of the stolen signs along with a "disturbing rant" surfaced on the website thedailybanter.com, a response to writer Chez Pazienza's column condemning the theft in Mystic. The author claimed to have stolen the signs and taunted the parents of the slain children. In photos on the website, someone is holding up their middle finger in front of the signs.
Pazienza assisted police with their investigation after Truelove told him he was behind the thefts.

During this time of Easter, people should reflect on themselves and things around them. We read about everything going on in the world.
I pray that people read this with the love and urgency intended.
Jesus died to save us. God gave us free will. He accepts us right where we are. He can't wait forever, though, because He promised Jesus would return, and God keeps His promises.
As told in Revelation, seven seals will be opened. It seems some already have been opened.
The first seal releases the spirit of deception. What happened to truth in advertising?
Responsible authority no longer acts responsibly, but greedily and selfishly.
The second seal releases the spirit of bloodshed. There always have been wars, but the actual "spirit of bloodshed" is seen in daily "entertainment" and news.
The third seal releases famine and disease. Flu and other diseases are resisting antibiotics.
No one knows exactly when Jesus will return, but He will return.
People must ask themselves what side they want to be on.
I believe people should tell Jesus that they want to be His friend and treat Him like one.
Healthy relationships are give and take. Find a church that follows the Bible, rather than one that seeks to change it,
I wish a happy Easter to all.

While Nancy Cope may feel as if she has been robbed as same-sex marriage is increasingly recognized as a civil right, supporters of same-sex marriage have long felt robbed because of the unnatural monopoly religion has had on the concept of marriage.
I'm referring to her Jan. 8 letter to the editor, "Words' meaning stolen."
Cope's construction of marriage as solely the province of religion is evident when she writes, "God designed this union to be so special that new life is produced as a result — a baby."
Does Cope believe atheists have a right to marry? What about those who choose not to procreate?
As is evident, Cope's conception of marriage is one entirely derived from her religious beliefs and, as such, has no place in this debate.
Marriage is simply a specific type of contractual agreement between consenting individuals, and government's role is simply to enforce the terms of the contract, not stipulate who the parties are to the contract.
If Cope and other religious individuals wish to have a religious ritual surrounding instances of this contract that comply with church dogma, that is their right and is a separate issue that has no bearing on the fundamental at stake.

Great News from the Yellow Medicine County Museum: We have finally finished archiving the birth records for Yellow Medicine County from 1870 to 1910.
Great News from the Yellow Medicine County Museum: We have finally finished archiving the birth records for Yellow Medicine County from 1870 to 1910.
We have archived over 13,000 birth records. Consequently, genealogists and other researchers can access these records via our county website or can come to our museum to look at the information.
Birth records for these years were never shared between Yellow Medicine County and the State of Minnesota. Therefore, the state does not have them on the State Birth Records Website. However, this will change because I will be e-mailing the State Historical Society a copy of the data-set. They will then integrate the new information with the birth records they already have on file. Therefore, for the first time ever one can access birth records from 1870 to 2000 via either the county or state websites.
To look at the birth records from 1870 to 1910 login to Yellow Medicine Counties' website and go to departments where you will choose the Yellow Medicine County Museum, then click on the birth records i-con. The data set runs with Microsoft Excel. Consequently if you do not have Microsoft Excel on your computer you can use to link to Microsoft Excel that we have provided to look at the birth records file. If you have questions call Brian at 320-564-4479.
Thanks to Dennis Pederson at the county courthouse for setting this website up for everyone. I would also like to issue a huge thank you to the ladies who helped me on the project: Paulette Grieger, Jane Remiger, Carol Sheveland, Barb Schueler, and our financial officer LouAnne Kling. Thanks to all these ladies their editorial and financial help.
In August, the museum is sponsoring a cultural heritage day where representatives from each cultural group in the county can come and display ethnic foods, dress, music, dance or anything else related to their culture. Consequently, we are looking for people from the following cultural groups to man a table or booth: Dakota, Norwegian, German, Swedish, Czech, and Hispanic or Latino. Anyone interested in sharing their cultural heritage with the public please call Brian at the aforementioned number.
We have marked our Yellow Medicine County History books, both Rose and Narvestad, down in price from $80.00 to $60.00. They would make a great present for anybody interested in history or for those wanting to discover their ancestors. This is a permanent markdown, so drop by the museum and pick up a copy of either or both books and save $20 a piece.

Lions barely lose at Turner while Leavenworth swimmers progress at Shawnee Mission West
Five points is all that separated the Lansing boys' swim team from beginning the season on a winning note.
The Lions traveled to Turner Thursday, where after a bushel of events the boys in red lost 86-82.
"This meet was a way for us to see where we are at the beginning of the season," Lansing coach Josh Floetke said. "We saw some exciting performances, and also saw some things we need to work on."
Some highlights from the Lions first meet included Jack Bresser placing second in the 200 free, Chase Martin winning the 500 free and Matt Holden capturing second in the 100 free.
In the 100 back, Stephen Szmed won second and Eli Dossey came in third. Szmed also recorded a personal best in the 200 IM where Luke Lozenski and Dion DePaolis all finished five seconds from another.
Jack Hecht and Dossey placed two and three in the 50 free while Lozenski and Dossey earned second and third in the 100 butterfly.
Martin and Tavano placed third and fourth in the 100 breaststroke and were two seconds off personal bests.
"I am excited to see that some of our returners are making times close to where they left off last season," Floetke said. "I am also excited to see many of our newcomers showing a lot of promise."
Lansing will compete again at Turner on Dec. 12 at 4 p.m.
"A couple of these kids came to us with experience, but some are posting respectable times in there first ever competition," Floetke said. "The team as a whole has a very positive attitude, and I am looking forward to an exciting season."
Leavenworth continues progress at SM West
For the second day in a row, the Leavenworth boys' swim team competed on the road and saw positive marks.
"I was pleased because our times are getting better," Leavenworth coach Willis Willmeth said. 'We are still figuring out who we are going to swim in what events, but it's coming. I think we can get faster with some technical work on turns and stuff like that, but this is a good start."
Participating in Shawnee Mission West, the 200 medley relay team of Clayton Gubler, Ryan Hill, Duncan Robinnette and Josh Camerena won second overall.
Carsten Defore then did the same in the 200 free, as did Camerena in the 50 free and the 4x100 free relay team of Camerena, Gubler, Defore and Landry Hodges.
Two Pioneers claimed first place times — Hill in the 100 breaststroke and Defore in the 500 free.
Ben Schatzel was fourth in 200 IM, Camerena won second in the 100 free and in the 200 free relay Jacob Walker, Hodges, Carson Owens and Hill recorded a second-place mark.
"We mixed up some kids tonight and put them in different events to give us an opportunity to see how they did, and some kids did some good things," Willmeth said.
Leavenworth will compete at Shawnee Mission East at 4 p.m. Dec. 10.
"It's been a good start to the season and we are pleased," Willmeth said. "We have eight more weeks to get better and that starts next week."

Doing more with less is what the city of Cortez is now doing with its police department
Two additional Cortez Police officers have been patrolling the streets after a shuffle was made following the retirement and resignation of two supervisors.
Cortez City Manager Shane Hale said a lieutenant and a sergeant retired or resigned from the police department and were replaced by two patrol officers.
Hale said Police Chief Roy Lane made the recommendation to have more patrol officers rather than filling the open administrative positions.
The result, he said, is that a few people in the police administration are taking on additional work and duties.
He also said the hiring of two entry level patrol officers rather then replacing the retired administrators resulted in a cost savings for the city.
The city manager said if another lieutenant were to resign from the police department that position would likely have to be filled.
Hale said this shuffle occurred last year when Lane approached him about the idea.
Hale said Lane's recommendation made a lot of sense.
"Putting more people on the streets keeps the community safer," he said. "We are doing this without costing the city any extra money."
The Cortez Police Department currently has one individual in the Colorado Police Academy, and Hale added it is pretty common to move people around in the department, as it is an ongoing thing for officers to leave the department or switch positions for a variety of reasons.
As an example, he pointed to former school resource officer Diane Fox who is now a police dispatcher.
Hale said more pay would just be one factor on why a Cortez Police officer may consider moving to another location. Other factors on why police officers leave the department include spouses accepting jobs in different communities, and many wanting to move back to their home state.
"But certainly pay would be one of the factors," Hale said, adding police officers are in high demand because of the training and skills they have acquired throughout their careers.

Auditor General blasts 'liberal' toll-free turnpike travel
Pennsylvania Auditor General Jack Wagner has recommended the indebted Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission stop granting employees personal toll-free travel and take other related action, according to a news release.
A "liberal and inadequate" policy resulted in 7,000 commission employees and vendors getting free rides on the turnpike between January 2007 and August 2011, the release stated.
It resulted in at least $7.7 million in lost toll revenue, according to the release.
It comes as the commission is "in danger of collapsing" under debt, which has risen about 200 percent to about $7.8 billion amid increased borrowing due to Act 44 of 2007.
The act requires the commission to pay the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation about $450 million per year, according to the release.

The city of Cortez sales tax for 2012 was better than 2011, up 4 percent with still one more month to go, according to figures released by the city.
In the first 11 months of 2012 retail sales increased by 7.2 percent going from $7.8 million to $8.4 million.
The increase was not totally unexpected as the Cortez City Council budgeted a 5 percent increase in sales tax in its 2012 budget.
Finance Director Kathi Moss said she expected the figures to hold since December - because of the holidays - is a busy shopping month.
Lodgers tax also increased for the first 11 months of 2012 going from $151,000 to $156,000 - a 4 percent increase from 2011.
Moss said a 4 percent increase is not a big one, and she thinks the increase is the result of Cortez being a pass-through destination with inexpensive motel rates when compared with Durango.
The month of November was an extremely good one for tax revenue with purchases increasing by 7.86 percent, going from close to $682,000 to more than $735,000 last month.
While the sale of automobiles got off to a slow start in 2012, the purchases picked up dramatically in the last two months.
In October sales tax from vehicle purchases increased by more than 49 percent with an extra $16,000 going into the city coffers.
In November the vehicle sales nearly doubled at a 97 percent increase. Figures released by the city show the numbers went from $36,600 in December 2011 to $64,700 last month.
Moss said the city receives these taxes once the consumer purchases their license plates, which they have 60 days to do so. Because of the time lag she suspects a lot of the vehicles were purchased by the tribal money that members received from the federal government in a lawsuit settlement.
Restaurants suffered a hit in November when compared to the same time in 2011 with a decrease of 8.5 percent.
Moss said while restaurant sales were down, fast food establishments saw an increase in business, leading her to believe that the Thanksgiving holiday was the reason why people out and about decided to get a quick bite to eat rather than take the time to eat at a restaurant.
Home repairs or lumber business dropped almost 13.5 percent.
The box stores of Walmart, City Market and Safeway saw a slight increase at 5.43 percent, which Moss attributed to shopping for the Christmas holiday and Black Friday.

EMSWORTH — Some fish are worth the wait.
Zach Spangler bided his time with some baseball buddies as they fished by the Emsworth Dam on the Ohio River.
The sun had set, it was past 11 p.m. and Spangler had nothing to show for the Monday night of fishing.
"We were about five minutes away from calling it a night," said Spangler.
But Spangler's rod, anchored down by a 10-pound rock, began to move.
Actually, it took off.
Spangler ran it down and soon realized a strong and quite stubborn fish had fallen for the dead bluefish bait on the other side of his 20-pound braided line.
"I grabbed the rod and it took about 25 minutes to reel it in. I had to be really careful the whole time," said Spangler. "I would get it close to shore and then it would swim back to the middle of the river. ... It was nearly pulling me in."
Spangler — a recent Seneca Valley graduate and Kent State baseball recruit — eventually reeled in the largest flathead catfish he has ever laid eyes on.
His friend, Justin Dattilo, went into the water and pulled out the behemoth by the mouth.
"We were fishing for flathead catfish, but I wasn't expecting that," said Spangler. "A guy who has been fishing there for a long time said it was the biggest one he's ever seen before.
"I could barely lift up the fish," he added. "I could fit my entire head in its mouth."
They threw the fish onto their scale to see just how big it was, but it didn't provide much help.
"Our scale almost broke," said Spangler. "The scale only went up to 40-something pounds, but it was 50 at least."
The official Pennsylvania record for a flathead catfish is 48 pounds, 6 ounces. However, Spangler explained most people wouldn't report such a catch and after much consideration, the group decided to throw it back.
"I'm sure there's been 50-pounders caught before. There's no point in killing a catfish just for that reason," he said. "We debated keeping it and turning it in. It was the middle of the night and we didn't want to have to kill it and try to find a place to keep it, so we let it go.
"It was hard to throw it back," he admitted. "I wanted to keep it, but it would have been such a hassle."
It was Spangler's fourth time fishing at that spot, but the first time he caught something.
The largest catfish he had ever previously reeled in was about 15 pounds.
Spangler — who has been fishing since he was 3 years old and goes about four times a week over the summer — doesn't expect to see another one like Monday night for quite a while.
"Not for a very long time," he said.

FORT COLLINS A 40-acre wildfire burning in gusty winds and warm weather in northern Colorado was threatening homes west of Fort Collins on Friday and prompted about 50 people to leave the area.
The fire started burning near the visitors center in Lory State Park near the scene of a large wildfire last summer that burned 259 homes and killed one person. Firefighters were also battling another smaller fire nearby.
Blackened areas from last years High Park Fire were visible about a quarter-mile beyond the latest, larger fire, which was spreading along the western edge of Horsetooth Reservoir in an area that didnt burn last year.
Crews appear to have made some progress stopping the fires advance toward homes to the north and were focusing on the fires southern end.
Authorities abruptly closed off access to one neighborhood that was in the fires path but had not yet been evacuated, blocking residents trying to get in to check their property or retrieve pets and possessions.
Mark Martina, a mortgage broker, was heading home to get his dog when he reached the roadblock not far from his house.
Its unbelievable, he said. Its pretty ridiculous to shut things down and not let anyone know.
Angela Dietrich, whose home was not in the fires immediate path, said the smoke was so bad she couldnt see her yard from inside the house.
She said she was amazed the wildfire sprang up so early in the year.
This is a really bad start, she said.
Poudre Fire Capt. Patrick Love said aircraft have been requested to fight the fire, but he doesnt believe any are available.
I dont think theyre in the area. Not this time of the year, he said.
Messages left for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, werent immediately returned.
Temperatures reached into the 70s along Colorados Front Range, record-breaking territory for March. Part of Horsetooth Reservoir, however, is still frozen over.
Colorados wildfire season also started in March last year.

Mojave Desert : Barstow
Barstow [18] is a city in the southern desert of the state of California. The city's location at the junction of Interstate 15 and Interstate 40, as well as its position on the old Route 66, make it a frequent pit stop for travelers passing through on their way to more exotic destinations.
Get in
By air
Barstow itself does not have commercial airline service. The closest commercial airport is LA/Ontario International Airport (IATA: ONT) [19] about a 1 hour 14 minute drive south of Barstow on Interstate 15, passing through Victorville en route.
By car
Interstate 40 and Interstate 15, both major cross-country highways, intersect in Barstow. I-15 comes from Southern California to the south and the Las Vegas area to the north. I-40 comes from Northern Arizona. The historic (but decommissioned) Route 66 also passes through.
By train
By bus
Greyhound has a bus station here in Barstow
Get around
By foot
The downtown area of Barstow is small enough to easily get around by walking.
By car
Main Street, L Street, Rimrock Road, and Montera Road encircle Barstow, while Barstow Road bisects the city.

The Neosho wrestling team, ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 3, spent the Christmas weekend in Illinois, where they brought home fourth place as a team at the 52nd William 'Red' Schmitt Holiday Tournament.
The Neosho wrestling team, ranked No. 1 in the state in Class 3, spent the Christmas weekend in Illinois, where they brought home fourth place as a team at the 52nd William 'Red' Schmitt Holiday Tournament.
The Wildcats, who finished between Archer and Lincoln-Way West, brought home a team score of 409 points. Rounding out the top-five team scores for the tournament were: 1, Christian Brothers (Memphis, Tenn.) 665; 2, Lincoln-Way Central 598; 3, Archer 594.5; 4, Neosho 478.5; 5, Lincloln-Way West 409.
Nate Rodriguez, the No. 20 wrestler in the nation according to InterMat Wrestling rankings, suffered his first defeat of the season in the 132-pound championship match where he fell to Chris Wilkes of Whitfield (Ill.) in a 5-2 decision. Rodriguez pinned his previous seven opponents and pushed his overall record to 31-1 this season. Wilkes, meanwhile, is now 21-1.
River Buttram also brought home second place at 120 pounds. Buttram decisioned Christian Brothers' John Santi 3-1 in the semifinal before falling to Cahokia's Leslie Williams by the same score in a thrilling overtime match for the title.
Kyler Rea, meanwhile, finished third at 113 for the Wildcats after falling to Staley's Trey Nelson in a 3-2 semifinals decision. Rea rebounded, however, to decision Johnathan Doyle of Aurora West, 5-2 in the third place match.
Other individual results for the Wildcats were: 106 pounds, John Williams (eighth place); 126, Dakota McGarrah (10th); 138, Jason Box (17th); 145, Kyle Hostetter (ninth); 152, Chance Branstetter (14th); 160, Garrick Fausett (18th); 170, Austin Hailey (seventh); 182, Jacob Brock (ninth); 195, Ben Elledge (ninth); 220, Christian Lopez (fifth); 285, Aaron Clardy (sixth).
Wildcats coach Jeremy Phillips said the team showed growth during the course of the tournament, but that improvement must continue to be made before the team can truly be considered the best in the state.
"We wrestled well at times, and struggled many times to win the big and or close ones," Phillips said. "We showed good growth from day one to day two. We, I believe, have a lot to take away from this opportunity and use in our preparations for our peak performance we hope to have in the end when it matters most.
"Our training and preparations will come from evaluations from this tournament and the (Kansas City) Stampede. As a coaching staff, we have stressed that our number one ranking in the state is inaccurate and that we must work to completely buy in the next month and a half."
Phillips said he revised the team motto to one that reflects the direction and attitude the team needs to take moving forward.
"I revisited our motto," he said. "Fortitudine Vincimus — which is Latin for 'by endurance we conquer,' to get our kids to understand that hard work will beat talent if the investments are made. I truly feel that will be the key to winning critical big matches in the district and state tournaments.
"We must train to be able to go harder, longer. So the next few weeks we will invest to be the best."

If any of you have ideas about how to make a gray Ford Tempo look like a nativity scene or some other winter wonderland prop, I would appreciate hearing it.
Over the past three weeks or so, I have had all three of the Krause modes of transportation in the shop for one reason or another, and, quite honestly, the news on all of them has not been all that great.
It started with our Tempo – the car I drove to work for much of the year, which was later taken over by my oldest.
I had actually hoped to get that car fixed up enough that she could take it to school, but the work necessary to get that car in good enough shape to be confident in its reliability became more expensive than the car is worth.
That philosophy has become a pattern in the Krause garage.
The Tempo now sits being driven very little, and that means it may just be the world's largest winter decoration. (If any of you have ideas about how to make a gray Ford Tempo look like a nativity scene or some other winter wonderland prop, I would appreciate hearing it.)
A couple of weeks ago while on a brief vacation (remember when the snow fell), I knew I had to do some work on the vehicles – the kind of work I thought I could do myself.
Before you laugh yourself from your favorite reading position, know I do have a few skills, or at least I thought I did.
As I changed the oil in the Oldsmobile, I noticed the oil plug was turning much easier than I recalled it turning the last time I changed the oil.
What I discovered is the socket wrench was not turning the oil plug at all. It was just turning.
Yes, folks, I had stripped the plug so badly there was no way I was getting that off.
So, a second visit to the mechanic followed, and what began as a simple oil change led to nearly $200 in repairs.
The very next day I opted to just forget the oil changing on my own thing and took the van to the shop as well.
Another stripped plug was discovered, and another call from the mechanic meant I had a choice to make.
Would I go to the bank for a loan to fix everything that was wrong, or would I accept the fact that my 1997 Chrysler Town and Country with 300,000 miles may have served its purpose.
So, now the Krause clan has what I would consider about one-and-a-half vehicles it can drive, and after Christmas the serious work of finding something new is going to commence – that is if we can hold out that long.
So, if any of you were looking for a nice gift to give to your favorite newspaper editor, a vehicle that can seat seven, gets good gas mileage and won't break down every five minutes is certainly at the top of the list.
Having a heavy duty oil plug is likely a necessity as well.
The school music season kicked off in the local school district this past week, and I was glad to be at the middle school band concert this past Thursday night. The bands certainly kicked off the season well, and I am looking forward to hearing even more great music in the weeks to come. I want to encourage you to come out and support your school's music program by attending other upcoming concerts. The next one is Dec. 4 when the middle school choirs perform. Check out your school's Web site to find out when students are going to be performing.
This is one of my favorite times of the year.
I hope to see you at an upcoming concert.

The theme for the month at Hendersonville Health and Rehab has been NASCAR. The outside wall and windows of the dining area are covered in NASCAR-related themes.
And to celebrate that theme, the medical facility brought in NASCAR royalty.
John Earnhardt, cousin of racing legend Dale EarnhaStoryName:H0518Earnhardt, entertained a crowd on Friday afternoon. Earnhardt, an Edneyville resident, is the pastor at Seventh Day Adventist Church on Upward Road. He shared stories about growing up with his famous cousin, who died in a crash in February 2001, but also shared his own testimony.
Earnhardt also serves as a chaplain on the NASCAR circuit. He told the crowd that he skipped a weekend in Charlotte to come and speak to them.
"I'd rather be here with you than at the race track," he told them, to applause.
While Dale Earnhardt was getting into racing, John was living life in the fast line with drugs and alcohol. He came home one night and his wife was sitting on the bed reading a Bible. He asked what she was doing and she began reading scripture to him.
That moment changed his life. He went outside and prayed for God to change his life.
With alcohol and drugs behind him, John Earnhardt began a new life that led to him being an ordained pastor in 1979 — the same year that Dale was winning NASCAR's Rookie of the Year.
While Dale was earning the nickname "the Intimidator," John Earnhardt was busy earning the nickname, "the Evangelator," he joked.
He didn't just share stories about his life with Dale, but mentioned his interaction with other drivers on the circuit. People in the stands were interested in an array of drivers including Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Jimmy Johnson and Tony Stewart.
The crowd interacted and chimed in with their own stories. Their smiles are why Earnhardt does the speaking engagements.
"Whenever I can help somebody or encourage somebody, that's what it's all about," he said. "(Using NASCAR) is just a neat way to share."
Sandy Anderson, a social worker at the rehab center, was thrilled at how the event turned out. She found Earnhardt through a friend and reached out because it fit perfectly into the center's theme.
The center is raising money all month for the "Drive to End Hunger," which is a program through the Jeff Gordon Foundation that provides food for seniors who have to decide between medicines and meals each month.
"They can't afford both," Anderson said.
To donate to the cause, call the rehabilitation center at 828-693-8600 or email Anderson at email@example.com.
Reach Millwood at 828-694-7881 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The New Castle County Courthouse will be closed for business Feb. 12 to complete the investigation of the events that transpired Monday.
The New Castle County Courthouse will be closed for business tomorrow, February 12, 2013. In view of the need to complete the investigation of the sad events that transpired today, to repair the facility, to allow the Capitol Police to prepare for reopening, and to otherwise ensure that the Courthouse can function at full efficiency, it would be imprudent to open tomorrow. The goal is to open for business on Wednesday, February 13, 2013. All other courthouses will be open for business as usual tomorrow.
"The violence today has saddened and horrified all of us. I know I can speak for our entire judiciary in thanking the Capitol Police for risking their lives to protect as many of our citizens and employees as they could. Right now, the interests of justice require that we allow law enforcement and the Department of Justice to do their jobs and to have complete control and access to the Courthouse tomorrow. We also want to make sure that the needs of our employees, jurors and witnesses who were present in the Courthouse are met," Chief Justice Myron T. Steele stated.
"Today's tragic attack was not a random act of violence, but rather the result of a longstanding child custody dispute that has lasted in the Delaware Courts for several years. Thanks to the bravery of the Capitol Police officers who responded, and were wounded in the process, a greater tragedy was averted. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of this crime and their families." Attorney General Biden states.
"First, I want to express my deepest condolences to the victims of this shooting. Second, I want to express my appreciation to all of those from the law enforcement community who have been working so hard today. A short while ago, I spoke with each of the Capitol Police officers who were shot. I thank God that they are both doing OK. I let them know how grateful we are for that and how much we appreciate their outstanding service to the citizens of our state. I have also spoken today with Secretary of Safety and Homeland Security Schiliro, State Police Superintendent McQueen, and Capitol Police Chief Jopp. I am grateful to them and their personnel for all they are doing. While this shooting is notable for the fact that it took place inside a state courthouse, there are some aspects of this incident that are, unfortunately, all too common. I am saddened that two more brave members of our law enforcement community have been injured in the line of duty. I am also saddened that this appears to be another example of a domestic situation that turned deadly. So while there is much focus on this incident today because of the circumstances, it should not detract from our focus on domestic violence or from our appreciation and apprehension for the thousands of men and women in law enforcement who take chances on our behalf every day." Governor Jack Markell stated.
For employees, jurors, or other witnesses who desire counseling and help, additional information will be available on the state judiciary's website later today, at courts.delaware.gov

Posted on June 6, 2012
There were apparently a few people who LIKED the peek behind the curtain I gave them in the column where I discussed whose life goes into the Biography section and whose does not. There weren't enough to encourage me to do a full series defining each of the categories at the Fair. (We're moving all the manuals on Photoshop from Computer to Photography this year, if that information helps you sleep at night). But I thought I might just introduce the subject of Samuel Pepys.
We discussed good old Sam and his diaries twenty years ago or more, and came to a determination on the burning question he presented. Do the Pepys diaries go under Biography, since they obviously make up his life story)? Or does he belong with the lives of Defoe and Milton, down the aisle in Books & Authors? Is a person author enough to go into Books & Authors even if the book that made him famous was his own diary?
Yes, friends, it was decided that the diaries of Samuel Pepys would go into Books & Authors. It can be argued either way, I suppose, but somebody had to decide. We decided, and that was that, right? But policies have a way of sneaking up behind you when you're bending over a banana box. If Pepys qualifies for his diaries, where do we put Anne Frank?
Decisions, decisions: we've had suggestions that she go to Judaica, World War II (we don't even have a World War II category), Children (because the book is frequently assigned in middle schools), and even Religion. Or should she follow Pepys into Books & Authors? (And be careful, kumquat cupcake, because I'm holding Frederick Douglass's autobiography in reserve after you've decided. Hey, these are the joys of a Book fair Manager.)
Okay, time's up. We put Anne Frank into Books & Authors. And we put Frederick Douglass into African-American Studies. Our reasoning is that Douglass made himself famous through his work for the African-American population, not so much by writing that autobiography.
This doesn't mean that if you come to the Book Fair in the middle of the weekend, you will never find Douglass in Biography or Anne Frank in Judaica. Sometimes we have so many copies of a book that we spread it around all the categories it might conceivably fit, extending your chances of finding a copy. And sometimes the restockers, using their best judgment, put a book in a category other than the one where it started. This harms nobody in particular, so far as I can see.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must just decide what to do with all these books on Mary Magdalene and her role in the history of the Holy Grail, and then decide which of these books on Joan of Arc go into Religion and which into Biography, or History. Say, and these books about the life of the Tsarevitch Alexei after he escaped the Russian Revolution need to find a category. And….
No wonder I'm always out of sorts.

Christmas is only days away. What is your favorite Christmas memory?
Frances Camp: "I know there is a Santa Claus because at the age of 10, we all went to Emanuel Lutheran Church on Christmas Eve, which we did every Christmas Eve and when we got back very late, Santa Claus had already been there and left me gifts and my parents were with me all of the time, so it had to have been Santa Claus.
Jerrie Townsend: "My mother used Ivory Snow flakes to make snow for our Christmas tree."
Savanna Stroble: "My Mom would place oats to track Santa Claus's reindeer."
Jamie Milliken: "Going to my grandparents' house and eating breakfast with my grandfather."

I am wondering what happened to them as well. They were supposed to have a first run of the Endeavor for the XF100 around April 17. I have called and e-mailed several times since then, and there have been no replies. JC had a phone mail message a few weeks ago that said that they would be on Easter vacation until May. Last week I think his message said he was taking an opportunity for some time off in early May. Still, it seems strange that they are essentially offline for all this time.
I recently ordered a housing with one of their dealers in the States and was told everything is backed up due to the vacation time, I guess it was plant wide???? I sure hope they start shipping soon, I am putting a trip on hold until the housing arrives.

I'm hearing rumors that they have ceased operation.
Does anyone know if that's true?

Does anyone have any definite information about Amphibico?
I'm hearing rumors that they have ceased operation.

I just got a housing from them about 60 days ago and I had some phone numbers for staff there so I gave them a try. The phones are working but everyone has a full voice mailbox. This would be very sad but it doesn't look good.

I have sad but confirmed news, Amphibico has ceased operations at this time and is for sale or looking for an investor.
I ordered a housing from Submerge Camera in Mid April, Submerge has been keeping in touch with me through out this ordeal. The latest news from yesterday was that the sales person was in contact with the owner and their order was shipping out this Friday. They indicated that there is a new owner in the works. Also Submerge indicated that they will be an official repair and service center for Amphibico.
Hopefully since I did purchase my housing with a company here in the states if for some reason the housing is not available, I will have options.

Yes confirmed SAD NEWS. I received this email from Amphibico today "....since April 21st Bank recall our loans that forced the owners to closed-shut down the Amphibico division...If you placed an order after that date and we can complete it, you will be contacted soon as we plan to honored parts and warranty service still.
thanks you for your friendships and understandings regards"

After talks and evaluation of the situation, Submerge Camera will not be a repair facility for Amphibico. We just would not feel comfortable being a reresentative of the line with so much instability at this time.
We hope to see a recovery for Amphibico as they have been a well respected mfg. over the years.
If they do come back maybe thier first new housing can be called the Phoenix.....
