Big Bear's $18 lift ticket offer may have caught your eye, as it should. This week's sale, which shaves $42 off the regular price, runs for 48 hours, starting at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Is there a catch? Well, isn't there always?
The $18 lift tickets, the lowest price offered at Snow Summit or Bear Mountain since 1983, is bundled with lodging, so you must stay overnight. At discount prices (lodging is 25% off as well), that's probably not a deal breaker. But be forewarned.
There are about a dozen rooms at $69 per night midweek available with the package, and another dozen or so rooms at $79, says marketing director Dan McKernan
With the 25% discount, they would be $51.75 and $59.25 per night, respectively.
Options include a variety of venues: rental homes, resort lodges and rustic cabins.
The offer is good for overnight stays Sundays through Thursdays and lift tickets can be used Mondays through Fridays. There is a limit of two lift tickets per reservation.
A limited number of these packages are available. Holiday blackout periods will also apply.
The $18 lift ticket and discount lodging offer must be mentioned at the time of booking.
Reservations can be made online from 10 a.m. Wednesday to 10 a.m. Friday, or by phone at (800) 424-4232 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday.

St. Johns County 4-H youth wall hanging quilts will be exhibited in the Rotunda Gallery located in the St. Johns County Administration Building, 500 San Sebastian View.
The exhibit will be on view through April 18.
For the past eight years, St. Johns County 4-H youth, ages 9 to 18, have had the privilege of attending 4-H Quilt Camp.
This week-long event has allowed youth the opportunity to learn the valuable skills of quilting.
Through the generous efforts of 4-H volunteers and the St. Augustine Piece Makers Guild, St. Johns County 4-H youth have practiced the "Learn by Doing" motto of 4-H as they designed, cut out and sewed together a quilted wall hanging each unique in it's own way.
Since 2007, the young quilters of St. Johns County 4-H have exhibited their quilts in the Young Quilt maker's category which is a non competitive category at QuiltFest, an annual event featuring more than 450 quilts from the southeast held at the Prime Osborn Convention Center in Jacksonville.
The St. Johns Cultural Council is hosting this exhibit in the St. Johns County Administration Building. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The display is part of the Art in Public Places project of the Cultural Council, funded in part by the State of the Arts License Plate funds.

Detailed discography.
Have you ever put an album into a player and been shocked as a surge of intensity, both beautiful and at the same time disturbing hits you like nothing before? You're mesmerised, finding it hard to believe that this is a man, relying on little more than his relentless, pounding rhythmic guitar playing and his own dark, rich, voice.

Son House 'At Home' The Legendary Rochester 1969 Sessions
DOCD-5148 Son House At Home 1969 Rochester recordings.
Son House, vocal guitar, bottleneck slide guitar.
Includes Evie House, tambourine.
Mississippi Country Blues
Informative booklet notes by Bob Groom.
Detailed discography
When back in 1964 Nick Perls, Dick Waterman and Phil Spiro searched the Mississippi Delta region for clues as to the whereabouts of legendary blues recording artist Son House, they first drew a blank. Finally, in Robinsonville - where Robert Johnson first played blues in a juke joint - they got a lead which eventually took them right back to New York State. In June of that year, they arrived at Son House's home in Rochester's riverfront Corn Hill neighbourhood, almost a thousand miles from Mississippi! The informal recordings of Son and his wife (who plays tambourine and gives a spoken message) on this CD were made by Steve Lobb at their Rochester home in 1969, just prior to Son's second European tour. They remind us of the remarkable return to music of one of the very greatest of all the many Mississippi blues singers.Continued...

Sony has revised its fiscal year forecasts today, accounting for recent market shifters like the network hacks and Japanese earthquake. "As of today, our current associated costs [related to the PSN/SOE hack] for the fiscal year ending March 2012 are estimated to be approximately 14 billion yen [$171.4 million*] on the consolidated operating income level," reads the investor call script. The estimated cost includes identity theft programs, the Welcome Back program, customer support, security improvements, legal experts, and revenue decreases.
The estimate warns that while it hasn't received any confirmed reports of identity theft or credit card fraud, those "key variables" could impact the costs. The company also isn't including the possible costs of the class action lawsuits, since the suits are so early and estimating the outcome would be difficult.
The impact of the Japanese earthquake is more severe, with Sony estimating a 150 billion yen ($1.83 billion) hit to operating income for FY2012, with an additional 17 billion yen ($208.1 million) in the fiscal year that ended in March. This is due to a new life insurance policy provision, decreased sales, and "idle facility costs at manufacturing sites." The latter point stands out, since Sony's Jack Tretton implied that the upcoming NGP may not launch in all territories this year due to quake damage -- a comment that was quickly denied by a Sony spokesperson.
Sony also has to repair some machinery, equipment, and buildings, totaling roughly 11 billion yen ($134.6 million), but expects almost all of the costs to be recovered by their insurance policies.

PEORIA — A 19-year-old Peoria man said he was shot at Sunday afternoon.
He told police that shortly before 4 p.m. he was taking out the garbage from his apartment in the 2800 block of West Ann Street when he noticed a male standing outside. After the resident threw away his garbage, the male pointed a handgun at him and fired once. The resident, who was not hit, ran into his apartment and called police.
Police found one shell casing at the scene. The victim described the gunman as black, 15 to 17 years old, 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded jacket and dark jeans.
No arrests had been made as of Tuesday in the shooting.

Policyd v2 (codenamed "cluebringer") is a multi-platform policy server for popular MTAs. This policy daemon is designed mostly for large scale mail hosting environments. The main goal is to implement as many spam combating and email compliance features as possible while at the same time maintaining portability, stability, and performance. Its features include detailed policy and group specification, access control, helo/ehlo checks (helo randomization prevention and RFC compliance), SPF checks, Greylisting, Quotas, and Amavisd-new integration.
vmodemd is a telnet server designed to run old DOS BBS systems and door games. It listens for incoming TCP connections on a defined port, does a minimal telnet handshake if needed, and then starts to proxy all data to a PTY which is bound to a dosemu virtual serial port. vmodemd supports any number of virtual modems, can display customized banners if all modems are busy, can terminate a serial app when a telnet connection is unexpectedly dropped, and run custom scripts before passing control to dosemu, allowing you to pass relevant data like incoming IP address to the DOS app.
Gmagick is a PHP extension to create, modify, and obtain meta-information of images using the GraphicsMagick API. GraphicsMagick prides itself as the swiss army knife of image processing. It works with over 88 major formats including DPX, GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PNM, and TIFF. Gmagick consists of a main Gmagick class, a GmagickDraw class that is in effect a drawing wand, and a GmagickPixel class of which instances represent a single pixel of an image (color, opacity).
The primary aim of the Gtk+2 panel project is to provide a panel that reuses whatever is available (if it is not overkill) in the obvious way, such as subclassing GtkWidget instead of implementing applets, or by using a GtkBuilder file instead of defining a new format to customize the panel. This approach gives some additional advantages for free: you can use common tools in uncommon ways. Above all, you can use Glade to design your own panel. All the dependencies apart from GTK+ are (and hopefully will be) optional.
SMRadius is a high performance pre-forked RADIUS AAA server. It features a highly configurable backend engine supporting flexible data specifications. Its primary goal is to provide an extremely flexible authentication platform which may serve a large number of industries, including ISPs and WiSPs.

Not many players could access the Sixense MotionPack DLC for Portal 2. Why? Because it required the Razer Hydra PC Gaming Motion Sensing Controller, which costs well over $100. It was an expensive proposition for just ten levels of new Portal 2 content.
There's a new way to access that content, however. It will be available on PS3 later this year, thanks to an upcoming patch which will add PlayStation Move support to Valve's critically acclaimed puzzle shooter.
The free title update will add Move support for the entire game, letting you aim and shoot with mouse-like speed. Adorably, the orb on the Move controller will dynamically change color to match the color of the portal your gun will shoot.
On top of the title update, Sixense is also adapting their MotionPack DLC for distribution over the PlayStation Network. Unlike the patch, this will be a paid offering--although Sixense hasn't figured out a price yet. These challenge maps will showcase more of the Move's functionality. In addition to being able to aim, the game will track the 3D movement of the motion controller. You'll be able to pick up boxes, for example, and place them far away by moving your controller closer to the TV. You'll also be able to rotate the angle of portals, and perform other tricks unavailable in the main campaign.

John Lewis 'leaks' Apple iPod refresh details, say reports
Actually, no it didn't
Claims that UK department store chain John Lewis today let slip what Apple is preparing for the annual September iPod refresh are bollocks... probably.
We were there when the besuited buyer of audio products for the chain's 29 shops and online business said he didn't know what Apple was planning to announce but was making a wild stab in the dark based on rumours, "noises we're hearing" and - not unreasonably - what Apple has shown with the iPhone 4.
To whit, he believes the iPod Touch will get a flash-equipped 5Mp camera that can take HD video. It may also have a front-facing camera to allow owners to engage in the practice known as "FaceTime".
The new Touch will feature enhanced accelerometers and a gyroscope, the buyer believes.
The John Lewis man didn't say as much, but we expect Apple will give the gadget a more iPhone 4-style design, too. And iOS 4.
All this prompted immediate whoops of scoop joy among the many younger hacks there gathered, but that doesn't change the fact that the 'revelations' were the guy's intelligent speculation.
He didn't forecast what the Cupertino company will do with the Nano or the Shuffle, so we think he's taking a punt based on the iPhone 4 specs and how iPhone components have, in the past, made it down to the Touch.
In that respect, he's likely to be correct. But if he's proven correct, it's savvy guesswork, not inside information. ®

ATLANTIC CITY (AP) — Score it Marty Small 3, New Jersey Attorney General's Office 0.
A judge on Friday allowed a lawsuit by the Atlantic City Councilman alleging malicious prosecution by the state to continue.
Small was charged with — and acquitted of — election fraud twice in three years. He's suing the attorney general's office, alleging the state knew it had no evidence against him but prosecuted him anyway because officials were angry about the first acquittal.
The state argued it and its officers are entitled to immunity for acts carried out in their official duties, which a deputy attorney general described in court as normal and proper.
Small's lawyer says the councilman deserves compensation of up to $1 million for humiliation, legal fees and lost wages.

FRAMINGHAM - Governor Deval Patrick said today he was relieved that the state escaped serious damage from Hurricane Sandy, but he emphasized that he is keeping close watch on the utilities, which are in the process of restoring power to some 225,000 customers.
Crews for National Grid, NStar, and Unitil were at work in nearly every corner of the state, seeking to repair damaged lines.
Patrick said that overall Massachusetts had fared far better than New York and New Jersey. The state fared so well, in fact, that Patrick said Massachusetts will see if it can send resources to New York and New Jersey.
"We are very, very fortunate indeed, " Patrick said in a news conference at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency bunker in Framingham. He said there was "no place where there is devastation.''
He added, "I'm relieved, that's for sure.''
Patrick said he and state regulators were watching carefully how efficiently the utility companies restore power, and how clearly they communicate their plans to their customers. Some utilities are facing million of dollars in fines for what state officials have called poor responses to storms last year.
"Now is the time for them to perform,'' Patrick said. "We have to see how that goes and make a judgment when we see how it goes.''
As of 11:30 a.m., 161,149 National Grid customers, 55,526 NStar customers, 341 Unitil customers, and 8,885 Western Massachusetts Electric Co. customers were without power, according to the companies' outage status websites. The 225,961 customers affected was down from 272,107 as recently as 11:30 a.m. today, and down from the number at mid-evening Monday, which was about 385,000.
Patrick said the state has dispatched damage assessment teams around the state, and that he expects to have a more detailed picture of Sandy's impact on the state later today. He said utilities are performing their own damage assessments now.
The power outages were most heavily distributed in coastal communities, which were batterred by high winds and storm surges, and in leafy suburban communities
For all its intensity, Hurricane Sandy is now officially over. Bill Simpson, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said bands of showers are expected throughout today, generated by the weather system that was once Sandy.
Simpson said the showers — and today's midday high tide — together are not going to be severe enough to renew concerns about flooding in coastal or low-lying areas of the state. Temperatures today will reach 70, well above the seasonal norm of somewhere in the 50s, he said.
"The winds are pretty much diminished,'' Simpson said. "All of our issues are coming to an end this morning.'' At mid-morning, golden sunshine peeked through the clouds in some areas, a far cry from Monday's gunmetal-gray, angry skies.
Boston's public school system and many others around the state opened this morning, but dozens of other public school districts remained closed or had delayed openings.
The MBTA, which shut down at 2 p.m. Monday, resumed service at 5 a.m. today with some cancellations and changes in services. Transportation Secretary Richard Davey told reporters that all regular services on the T had resumed, except for a section of the Green Line's D line branch that passes through a heavily treed section of Newton.
Logan International Airport is open, but passengers are being urged to check with airlines to make sure their destination airports are also open.
In Boston, 30 street sweepers have been deployed to shovel debris, according to Dot Joyce, spokeswoman for Mayor Thomas M. Menino. The city has responded to more than 500 reports of downed trees, with the highest concentration on side streets in West Roxbury, Joyce said.
Officials responded Tuesday morning to a report in Roxbury that a building on Harrison Avenue had lost its roof. Overall the city fared well. There have been no reports of major damage or flooding.
Courthouses, which were closed around noon on Monday, will reopen at noon today.
In Fall River, one of the areas that were expected to be hard hit by the coastal flooding, Mayor William A. Flanagan said official had taken the weather forecast very seriously.
"We're a coastal community, and were very concerned for those in Mount Hope Bay and along the Taunton River," he said.
Flanagan said officials were expecting wind gusts between 60 to 80 miles per hour, flooding, and storm surges of three to seven feet.
A mandatory evacuation for those living along Atlantic Boulevard was issued as Sandy neared, but Flanagan said some still stayed behind with their homes.
"The cleanup process has begun," Flanagan said, adding that schools were canceled for a second day.
Flanagan said the area near Battleship Cove saw the most flooding. Although water levels near Atlantic Boulevard were high, water never made it to the homes that were evacuated. "We did not receive the destruction we were prepared for, but we were prepared and we were ready," he said.
In Waltham, close to 20 families were homeless after severe winds from Sandy ripped off part of the roof of an apartment building.
The Lexington Street building lost part of its roof at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, said Paul J. Ciccone, Waltham fire chief.
The roof became "became detached and did, in fact, blow off part of the building," Ciccone said. The damaging winds left a gaping hole in the rear of the roof, allowing heavy rain to fall inside. An inspector deemed the building unsafe.
The storm had previously knocked out power to the apartments. The families living in the apartments were able to arrange other shelter on their own and no one was injured. The building owner is making arrangements to repair the damage, he said.
In Orleans, the city and state were working to repair a stretch of Route 28 that had been undermined by flooding. Route 28 was closed in the area near Tar Kiln Road.
Sandy made landfall in southern New Jersey and it cut a destructive path nearly 1,000 miles wide, causing massive disruptions throughout the Northeast. It was classified as a post-tropical cyclone, rather than a hurricane, by the time it hit the New Jersey coast at around 8 p.m. Monday, the National Hurricane Center said.
The powerful late-season storm, which killed nearly 70 people in the Caribbean, brought the Bay State to a near-standstill. As most people hunkered down at home, major roads were half-empty, public transit shut down, and schools, malls, and businesses were closed.
As Sandy moved toward the coast, the Category 1 hurricane packed winds up to 90 miles per hour, and forecasters said it could stand as the largest hurricane in New England history. Its air pressure — an indicator of the storm's power — was the lowest ever recorded in the area.
Wind gusts of more than 60 miles per hour were reported in Brookline, Milton, Lawrence, Barnstable, Falmouth, and Fairhaven on Monday afternoon. Winds around 81 miles per hour were reported in Wellfleet just after 2 p.m., and a buoy off Cuttyhunk recorded a gust of 83 miles per hour.
By about 11 p.m. on Monday, the winds from Sandy had subsided but heavy rains continued to pound the region overnight.Martin Finucane of the Globe staff contributed to this report. John R. Ellement can be reached at email@example.com.

Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova thinks Jose Mourinho is lucky to be still in charge of Real Madrid.
The Camp Nou boss claimed he would have been sacked if the Catalan club had fallen 18 points behind their rivals from the Santiago Bernabeu in the title race.
That is the difference between the sides after Barcelona defeated Malaga 3-1 at the weekend and Real Madrid could only draw 0-0 with bottom club Osasuna.
Barcelona are now 11 points clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga asnd are yet to lose a game, winning 18 out of 19.
Asked if he felt there was no way back for los Blancos in the championship race, Vilanova insisted nothing was over yet, before then hinting that his counterpart at the Bernabeu was perhaps fortunate to still be in charge.
The 43-year-old articulated this by suggesting he would not be long in his role Blaugrana boss if their roles were reversed and it was Mourinho whose team was 18 points in front.
"No," was his initial response to the title race question, quoted by Spanish newspaper AS.
"But if the situation was the other way round, I wouldn't be here to answer that question."
Mourinho could see this as something of a dig at Real Madrid's recent poor league form, but Vilanova also said the current champions were by no means out of the race and warned his Barcelona players that they had to stay focused.
"Madrid are capable of winning every game in the second half of the season and we are capable of losing those points," he added.
"We are not talking about four games, there are a lot of games left. I know that things can change very quickly. As soon as you lose two games, you look worse as a coach."
Mourinho and Vilanova have a history of conflict as both were banned after a ruckus between the sides in last season's Spanish Super Cup, where the former Chelsea boss was seen gouging the then Barcelona assistant manager.
However, both have said the incident is now forgotten and there is no longer problem after Mourinho accepted responsibility for the incident.

The journey from prospect to major league baseball player is one that can take many paths, often with plenty of stops along the way. Usually, it takes several years — Bryce Harper being a notable exception — even for the best players.
The journey from prospect to major league baseball player is one that can take many paths, often with plenty of stops along the way. Usually, it takes several years — Bryce Harper being a notable exception — even for the best players.
Wil Myers made quite a splash in his first week with the Tampa Bay Rays and the Thomasville native did what many people expected.
The Rays didn't bring Myers up through their farm system. They traded for him, a tried and true method for an organization — exchange established players for major prospects. The Kansas City Royals drafted Myers and now he should be a fixture in the Rays outfield for years to come.
Chaz Frank will soon get his team assignment from the Toronto Blue Jays and when that happens Davidson County will have three players in the minor leagues. It will be interesting to see how they progress.
Many thousands of prospects don't make it to the major leagues or even come close. So many things have to go right. Probably the biggest one is avoiding injury. That's what ultimately derailed former Ledford and Catawba star David Thomas, a 14th-round draft pick by the Oakland A's in 2009. Thomas had all the tools to go to the major leagues but retired from baseball last year.
Former North Davidson and University of North Carolina standout Levi Michael is in his second year with the Fort Myers Miracle, the Class A-Advanced franchise of the Minnesota Twins. It has been somewhat of a struggle for Michael, who began the season on the seven-day disabled list. The second baseman is hitting .234 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 42 games. Last year, he batted .246 but was trending upward at the end of the season.
As a first-round draft pick of the Twins, Michael will get plenty of time to develop. The Twins have a lot of money invested in him.
Justin Livengood, the former Ledford and UNC-Wilmington pitcher, is an amazing success story. Livengood went from giving up baseball for three years after high school to being a 10th-round draft pick of the San Diego Padres.
And now he is being paid to play baseball — and the success hasn't stopped.
Livengood is far away in Oregon playing for the Eugene Emeralds, a short-season Class A team. In his first three appearances, Livengood hurled 4 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out eight. Not bad at all.
Frank is a scrappy outfielder who swings a good bat and has good speed on the basepaths. He's a classic leadoff hitter and wherever he goes, nobody is going to outwork him. Thomas had a lot of the same attributes.
The Blue Jays thought enough of Frank to draft him in the 20th round, so he will get his shot.
There will be more in the years to come — Jordan Ramsey almost certainly next year and Landon Lassiter two years from now.
Perhaps one or more of them will make it all the way to the top.

Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul is likely to miss the majority of his side's race for fourth spot following an injury in an Under-21 match.
Kaboul sustained a serious knee injury during Tottenham's opening day of the season clash against Newcastle and was looking likely to make a return to the first team later this month.
However the French defender played just 48 minutes of the reserve tie at the Salford City Stadium before being replaced by Jack Barthram after suffering yet another injury scare.
Villas-Boas had hoped Kaboul would be available for their clash with Manchester City on Sunday following William Gallas' injury to his calf during their Europa tie against Basel.
The Portuguese manager said at the start of the month: "Injuries come at bad times, but most of the players who are out should only miss a couple more games."
Despite Kaboul's setback, Tottenham's defensive injury crisis looks to be diminishing with Michael Dawson, Jan Vertonghen and Steven Caulker all returning to full fitness.

The Death Certificates have been uploaded. Happy hunting!
The Death Certificates have been uploaded. Happy hunting!
Let's talk a little genealogy, shall we?
I updated the GEDCOM last night. We are quickly approaching the 31,000 mark. How cool is that? Check it out and see if you can find anything you might need for your own research.
I am going to try to sit myself down and post the nearly 50 death certificates I have waiting to find their way onto wemightbekin. It's just a matter of discipline really. Hang with me please.
Also, I was contacted this weekend by a Mr. David Connelly with some wonderful information on the family of William Thomas and Nora Ann Stephenson Avery. He has his family tree hosted on Ancestry.com. Hopefully he will see this here and invite you all to come see it.
My work on Four Oaks Town Cemetery is still continuing. I want to finish fleshing it out like Rehobeth but, since it is sooooooooo large, it is taking quite a while to accomplish. Again, bear with me please.
I'll be heading to Carolina this weekend for the Byrd Family Reunion. It will be a real quick trip but I'll get to spend some time with the Great Prophetress Helen (a.k.a. Aunt Joyce) so that's always a good thing.
Have a great day and I hope you all find lots of reasons to smile.

(June 7, 2012)– The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, during their monthly meeting today, approved a notice of intent to establish consistent regulations for the use of yo-yos and trotlines on Black Lake, Clear Lake, Prairie Lake, Caddo Lake, Chicot Lake, D'Arbonne Lake and Lake St. Joseph.
Concerns related to the use of yo-yos and trotlines have been voiced for years in some areas, with most complaints being very similar. Untended gear interfered with the recreational efforts of other anglers. Regulations, enacted through legislative action, addressed those concerns but were not consistent, thus creating angler confusion.
Recent legislative action rescinds the existing regulations on the previously mentioned water bodies. This Notice of Intent will replace them with a uniform set of regulations.
Interested persons may submit written comments relative to the proposed rule by August 7, 2012, to Mike Wood, Office of Fisheries, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, P.O. Box 98000, Baton Rouge, LA 70898-9000 or via email at email@example.com.
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.
For press inquires, contact Ashley Wethey at email@example.com (225) 765-2396.

Rod Bretches, the former Loveland police officer convicted of possessing child pornography and videotaping a woman in the shower without her consent, was sentenced Monday to 16 months in jail, plus 15 years of probation and intensive therapy.
Eighth District Court Judge Stephen E. Howard said that while Bretches' status as both an ex-policeman and sexual offender will render him highly vulnerable to harassment by other inmates, it would have been inappropriate to not give a jail sentence.
"The circumstances are, in my opinion, horrendous," Howard said.
Bretches, 49, must turn himself in by Friday at 5 p.m. His sentence requires he spend the first six months of his sentence in the county jail, though he may become eligible to spend the remaining 10 months on outside work release.
He was originally arrested in May 2012 after colleagues at the Loveland Police Department began investigating Bretches following a woman's complaint that he had secretly videotaped her showering and then shared it online. Police searched his home and found videos and photos depicting child pornography, in addition to online messages between Bretches and user name "masterbill69" suggesting the shower taping was premeditated.
"You need to grow some ... and start taking pictures," masterbill69 wrote in June 2011. "I want action, wimp."
Bretches' attorney, Denver-based criminal defense lawyer Jonathan Willett, argued against a jail sentence by citing his client's "troubled" and "broken" childhood. In his youth, Bretches rarely spent more than one full year in the same place and was often subjected to abuse from his mother's numerous sexual partners.
The non-consensual videotaping of a Loveland woman, Willett argued, "is not so much indicative of Mr. Bretches' general view of sex," but rather that, "he is a product of some of the negative behaviors that he experienced as a child."
"When you're a little kid and you're subject to this kind of abuse, you don't think rationally," Willett said.
The lead prosecutor, Erin McElroy, said the pretext of Bretches' actions does not rebut his "bad character."
"It doesn't matter who the woman in that video is," McElroy said of the peeping Tom charges levied against Bretches. "It is truly about the defendant. It's a window into what's going on in his mind."
Bretches' defense was buoyed by testimony from three women, all of whom described Bretches as a caring man always willing to assist others. In her testimony, Loveland's Christine Weston said she would put Bretches "at the top of my list" for babysitting her grandchildren.
"He's not a detriment to society," she said.
The only testimony presented by the prosecution came from the victim.
Bretches took the stand near the end of the two-hour-long sentencing, and he appeared contrite and ashamed.
"I would do anything to take it back," he said, fighting tears. "I will be working diligently on all problems I had going on with me. My goal in life is to continue on with counseling to see where I got off track. I got myself into this mess, and I'm going to work to get myself out."

Those that chose to fish had to dodge around rain and storms about every day, and on some days just adapt to staying wet with all day rain. We needed the rain and now that we got it, maybe we will get into our routine summer pattern.
Inshore, the morning high tide gave the best opportunities for a shot at redfish. Fish from 17 to 28 inches were caught off island points and under the mangroves around Buck key in the southern Sound and Wood Keys to the north. Also in south Matlacha Pass, fish were caught on both the east and west wall within a half mile of Matlacha. Rapala Twitch N Rap lures worked well off the Island Points and cut herring or pinfish soaked on bottom worked best under the bushes. A few mangrove snapper up to fourteen inches were also taken on the cut baits.
The trout report was spotty, with the best fishing reported near the Gulf passes, on the beach, and in Charlotte Harbor near Bokeelia. Artificials including Skitterwalks in a chrome or chartreuse pattern and DOA Glow Shrimp took trout up to 20 inches early in the mornings. Live baits including pinfish, pilchards and thread herrings suspended under a popping cork was a better choice from mid-morning on. Spanish mackerel, bluefish and small sharks can also be expected over the same inshore grass flats with the trout.
Weather washed out offshore fishing most of the week; boats are reporting Red snapper in depths from 130 to 180 feet over structure with cut sardines working best for bait. Amberjacks and barracuda over deeper wrecks and scattered red grouper from 60 to 90 feet, grunts, porgies and mangroves snapper were also caught from near shore structure from 30 to 50 feet.
Sharks... and lots of them — that's what many anglers are reporting. It is summer time and that means sharks of all sizes in Southwest Florida. I spent a lot of time fishing the late afternoon tides and we found plenty of action on sharks. We caught sharks from three foot blacktips to nine foot lemons and also several bulls to six feet. The fastest action was with the blacktips, they averaged three to four feet and there are a lot of them out there. I forgot how good they are on the table when properly prepared. We invited a three-foot blacktip home for dinner and introduced it to some beer batter. Not only did that little guy provide a lot of firm white meat, it was delicious.
All our sharks were caught on cut bait including ladyfish, mullet and catfish tails fished on bottom with no weight. A simple single strand 80-pound wire leader with a 6/0 Owner circle hook is all the rigging you need. This set-up on a 40-pound rig was light enough for the blacktips, but also heavy enough for the big ones... although we did need to pull anchor and chase the big lemon before we were spooled.
If you don't want to mess with the big sharks — I really don't blame you if you don't — then you can lighten up more. A large pinfish fished live under a bobber or balloon also works great on the blacktips.
This coming week will again give us some good late day tides for sharking, I prefer to fish the outgoing the last two or three hours until the sun sets. Summer is passing quickly and before you know it the kids will be back in school. Wait until the afternoon thunderstorms clear out and load up the family and take them fishing. Not only will you get in some great family time, you will get to enjoy a beautiful Southwest Florida sunset... and maybe catch the shark to remember for a lifetime.
If you have a fishing story or for charter information, please contact us at 239-283-7960 or www.fishpineisland.com. Have a safe week and good fishin'.

Espn HS conducted a great interview with Shane Morris

That's what I come to expect from De La Salle grads. Warren pride!
The fact that he's a baller is just a bonus to me he's probably been our best recruiter this year!
Is he throwing that ball 60 yards from one knee?
ESPN stating that he was throwing 80 yards (upright)!
All star competition a couple years ago I'm pretty sure our boy Devin also could heave one 80+ yards. I think a lot of people forget how good of an arm he has and IMO he's the next big thing and will fit nicely in this system. All the boy needs is some snaps.
Why did they say 4 months to national signing day?
I'm gonna guess the video was about 3 and 1/2 months ago.
This is an old clip from the recruiting show from a few months ago. The interview might be recent, but the video is not. It was posted on here a while ago.
I have an honest question.
I don't know a lot about Warren De La Salle's WRs and such, but are Shane's low completion %, and yards a direct result of them, good DB play, poor system, or what? They were raving about his accuracy and such just didn't know if receivers dropped balls left and right, or they played receivers who could really cover.
I do believe we have been thinking similar things, yessir, I do.
It's probably not good DB play (even in the NFL, cover guys are hard to find), but he probably has mediocre WRs.
His Offensive Line was... well, not helpful.
One of those that's causing heachaches to Shane right now, won't be after him forever. Our own Matt Godin of Catholic Central is one of the guys tormenting Shane currently, so I agree with you, hats off to the talent in the Catholic league.
No more Biggs either.
Question for those in the know or watched some De La Salle games this year: Are their wideouts somewhat lacking? I know Shane has a big arm and is fairly accurate, but according to those stats at the bottom of the page, he only completed 52% of his passes.
....and I couldnt agree more.....this kid should be referred to as "The Senator".
You want to think about Tressel every time someone refers to Shane Morris?
Has decent receivers but Morris' high rating comes from his performance in camps this past summer. In 7 on 7 camps he was very accurate and I believe his team won a coveted Florida camp. I know his offensive line was not as good as some thought and Morris had to bail out of the pocket and throw on the run a lot. So if WR were not very talented and OL was not blocking well I could see his stats being on the downside. His HS team had a decent year but not great.
Hope he commits here
I wouldn't worry about that too much. When a kid helps the school recruit and calls other recruits on his own, telling them to come to Michigan, I think its usually a pretty good sign. And it's still over a year until his NSD.
Are you being serious? Because I'm pretty sure he already committed. Quite a while ago actually. If you mean you hope he signs with Michigan, then I would have to say you have very little to worry about. Shane is about as Blue as one could be.

Nearly two-thirds of American voters believe that human population growth is driving other animal species to extinction and that if the situation gets worse, society has a "moral responsibility to address the problem," according to new national public opinion poll.
A slightly lower percentage of those polled — 59% — believes that population growth is an important environmental issue and 54% believe that stabilizing the population will help protect the environment.
The survey was conducted on behalf of the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity, which unlike other environmental groups has targeted population growth as part of its campaign to save wildlife species from extinction.
Special report: Beyond 7 billion -- bending the population curve
The center has handed out more than half a million condoms at music concerts, farmers markets, churches and college campuses with labels featuring drawings of endangered species and playful, even humorous, messages such as, "Wrap with care, save the polar bear."

June is here Iowa's pheasant hatch is at its peak. So what can
"This year, unfortunately, we are predicting a decline in bird numbers," says Todd Bogenschutz, a DNR upland wildlife biologist. "Our pheasant population typically shows increases following mild winters and dry, warm springs. This past winter, while starting mild, ended with a vengeance."
Many bird enthusiasts were hoping a warm, dry spring would offset the snowy winter. Unfortunately this year's nesting season (April/May) has been record-setting for cold temperatures and rainfall. Statewide, nesting season rainfall was 15.4 inches, and temperatures were 4.1 degrees cooler than normal. Iowa's pheasant population has never seen a spring this wet since they were established in the state back in the 1920s.
Based on this weather data, Bogenschutz predicts Iowa's statewide pheasant population will be lower than in 2012. However, Bogenschutz says the DNR's August roadside survey is the best gauge of what populations are. The DNR will post its August roadside numbers on the DNR webpage www.iowadnr.gov around September 15. Those with e-mail can sign-up on the DNR's website to be notified when the roadside survey has been completed.
The DNR makes pre-season pheasant population predictions each year based on winter and spring weather conditions as reported by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The predictions are correct about 8 years out of 10.
Progress is being made on habitat for pheasants, says Bogenschutz. Iowa was awarded a new continuous CRP program targeted specifically for pheasants. The program is called Iowa Pheasant Recovery (CP38) with 50,000 acres available. The DNR also works jointly with Pheasants Forever chapters in Iowa to enhance pheasant habitat across the state. Iowa landowners are encouraged to visit a DNR biologist or USDA office for more information on pheasants and CRP.
