MARQUETTE – Marquette Hockey Central split its four games at the 24th annual Marquette/Iron Range Holiday youth hockey tournament held Dec. 27-29.
HC opened with a 5-3 win over Negaunee KG ReMax as Jon Jason scored all five Marquette goals and Ander Sorenson had a hat trick for Negaunee. Soren Higgins made 11 saves for the winners while Nolan Corwin accounted for 13 stops for Negaunee.

Legion Bantams go 1-1-1
MARQUETTE – The American Legion Bantam AA youth hockey team of Marquette recorded a win, loss and tie against the Gamblers AAA Major team in Green Bay, Wis., last weekend.
The Legion is 16-19-7 overall and 5-1-2 in the Northern International Hockey League, good for second place.
Green Bay scored a 9-2 win in the opener as Spencer DenBeste scored both Marquette goals on power plays, unassisted early in the second period and assisted by Alister Henderson and Branden Campbell midway through the third.
"This was obviously not the way we wanted to start the second half of the year, but after taking six days off for break, we weren't ready to play," Legion coach Brian Nebel said.
The Gamblers scored twice on the power play and once shorthanded as Jack Eyler made 36 saves for Marquette and Brendan Chapman-Jacobs had 21 stops for Green Bay.
Chris LeMire's second goal of the game with just a few minutes to go forged a 3-3 tie in the middle game. Campbell scored on a power play less than six minutes into the game to tie the score after GB took the lead just 12 seconds in.
LeMire then made it 2-1 late in the first on another power-play marker. The Legion kept that lead until Green Bay scored twice in 70 seconds just a few minutes before LeMire forced the tie.
Assists were credited to Kyle Lane, Alister Henderson, Ben Cole and Tristan Ashbrook as Legion teammate Travis Cameron made 27 saves and David Fessenden had 28 for the Gamblers.
"This was a much better game and effort," Nebel said. "We slowed them down, limited the sho, kept our turnovers down and stayed out of the (penalty) box, all things you have to control against a team of this caliber."
Marquette ended on a high note with a 5-2 win even though it didn't take its first lead until early in the third period.
Nick Bink score two goals, the first tying the game 1-1 in the middle of the second period and the other on a power player as time was running down.
Trailing 2-1 entering the final period, Ashbrook, Henderson and Lane scored three straight goals in the first 13 minutes of the third, two coming on power plays.
DenBeste had two assists, while LeMire, Bink, Ashbrook, Shane Ring and Donny Schultz also notched one.
Cameron stopped 26 GB shots as Chapman-Jacobs made 15 saves.
"Again we did the things we needed to do against a very good team, and (the Gamblers) really started to get frustrated and take bad penalties while our guys played it smart.
"Travis really stepped his game up in net."
mBank girls go 3-0-1
MARQUETTE – Andrea Olson had a last-second save as she was one of three goalies that helped the Marquette mBank girls hockey team win three times and tie on Dec. 29-30.
Olson was joined by Lexi Guidebeck and Libbie Doney as mBank beat Copper Country 3-2 and tied 2-2 on Saturday, then defeated Iron River 4-1 and 3-2 on Sunday.
Alex Paquette was Marquette's top scorer, notching three goals and an assist, while Brooke Swajanen had two goals and two assists and Taylor Swajanen three assists.
City Insurance wins two
MARQUETTE – The Marquette City Insurance Sentinels Pee Wee AA youth hockey team won twice in a five-game weekend at the 16-team Paul Bunyan International Hockey Tournament in Bemidji, Minn.
The Sentinels, now with a 29-11-1 record, opened with a 6-2 win over host Bemidji 6-2 Daunte Fortner and Nate Bordson each had hat tricks. Tanner Phillips had two assists; Alec Beauchamp, Alec Olivier and Ted Hoenke had one each; and Dylan Sibilsky made 23 saves.
Marquette lost its next two games, 9-2 to Andover and 9-3 to Grand Forks, as Fortner scored twice and Bordson and Hoenke had single goals. Bordson also had two assists as Tyler Bergwall made 22 saves vs. Andover and Sibilsky 18 against Grand Forks.
The Sentinels couldn't generate quite enough offense and lost its next game, 10-7, to Virginia, Minn. Bordson scored four times, Fortner twice and Luke Beerman once. Carter Peterson was among those with assists as Bergwall split goaltending duties and each made 22 saves.
City Insurance closed the tourney with a 6-1 win over Rogers as Sibilsky made 23 saves for a solid win in net. Bordson scored twice, while Beerman, Fortner, Kobie Guidebeck and Sean O'Connor rounded out the scoring.
Togo's wins three of four
MARQUETTE – The Togo's 18-Under Midgets youth hockey team lost its first game of the season, but still managed three wins during the weekend preceding Christmas.
The Marquette-based team improved to 10-1 overall and 5-1 in Central Upper Peninsula Hockey League games.
On Dec. 22, Togo's swept the Copper Country team in Houghton, 9-5 and 9-4.
Torrey Boyak posted a hat trick and playmaker in the nightcap and finished the day with nine points.
Togo's returned home to face a physical Ontonagon team at Lakeview Arena on Dec. 23. Several Marquette players were injured, though only one didn't return in the same game.
In an opening 6-3 win, Boyak and teammates Jacob Roemer, Bill Mullet, Jacob Kolinsky, Alex Baker and Noah Paquette scored, while those getting assists included Connor Remsburg, Collin Rajala, Cote Marshall and Joseph Knight.
Marquette goalie Adam Dollar was injured in Game 2, but he stayed in and made 32 saves in the Togo's 5-3 loss.
Mullet scored twice and Hayden Rogers once, with Noah Paquette among those getting assists.
Maki stops 54 shots
MARQUETTE – Preston Maki stopped 54 shots to help the Marquette TriMedia Squirt Sentinels pull out the opening game, 5-4, of a four-game series at the Green Bay, Wis., Gamblers on Dec. 22-23.
Brayden Stannard supported his goalie by scoring four goals, while Jacob Peterson added the other and notched a three-assist playmaker. Teammate Hogan Nemetz had two assists, while Cooper Anderson and Andrew Fedrizzi had one each.
The Gamblers turned the tables in the next game, winning by the same 5-4 count. Maki made 39 saves in this game, while Stannard put in two unassisted goals and Fedrizzi and Nemetz had one score each as Joseph Luke had an assist.

The United States' diplomatic relationship with Pakistan is complicated, but critical. The visit by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on July 31 was an opportunity for him to emphasize the positive aspects of the relationship, and to reiterate continued U.S. support for Pakistan.
The Secretary is no newcomer to Pakistan. Rather, he is a household name and widely admired. The Kerry-Lugar-Berman Act of 2009 pledged to Pakistan an unprecedented $7 billion in civilian assistance. Kerry had already visited Pakistan ten times as a U.S. Senator.
Nonetheless, the Pakistani media had speculated on when now-Secretary Kerry would call on the newly elected leadership. The historic May election - the first democratic transfer of power from one civilian government to another in the country's 66-year history - resulted in victory for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
During a joint press availability with Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Advisor Sartaj Aziz, the Secretary underscored our mutual interests by saying that the United States and Pakistan face a common enemy in terrorism.
He emphasized that extremists have failed to bring tangible benefits to the people of Pakistan by asking, "How many bridges have those terrorists offered to build? How many schools have they opened? How many economic programs have they laid out for the people? How many energy plants have they tried to build?"
The Secretary is deeply committed to supporting the people of Pakistan, and he took the opportunity to affirm the long-term U.S. commitment to Pakistan and the Pakistani people.
His sincerity showed when Kerry broke the Ramadan fast with five talented Pakistani women who had participated in U.S.-funded educational programs. The conversation over traditional Pakistani iftar fare (dates, pakora, and samosa) aired live on prime-time TV, as families turned on the television during Ramadan sunsets to hear azan, the call to prayer.
Kerry told the young women at the table, "Each of you have had this special input from your parents, which makes a lot of difference. A lot of kids aren't lucky enough to get that. And so there's a real divide early on. But the other thing is, you've also pushed against resistance [to achieve an education]. You've been so determined to do this."
Environmental Studies student Aqeela Moheen added, "I'm from a very small village, so I think these exchange programs are really changing our minds and our contribution towards our community. I am so proud and so satisfied that I got into environmental sciences that when I go back to my village, I tell other students that there are many other fields, many other opportunities, scholarships; they can go to the United States as part of their university education."
"If you ever come to Washington, come say hello," Kerry invited. "You can do the decorating," Kerry said to Shah Rukh, who runs her own interior design company.
Rukh replied, "When I first came to the State Department, I said 'Wow! Lots of work needs to be done here!'"
"I'm on it," the Secretary said with a laugh.

Sign on the line
MARSHALL – During the 2012 season, the Marshall High School football team led the state in scoring in Class AAAA with 42.9 points per game. Part of that success stemmed from two 1,000-yard rushers in Colton Citrowske and Rhett Struve and a 1,000-yard passer in quarterback Austin Saugstad. A greater part of that six-plus touchdowns per game average was the commanding play of its offensive line.
On Wednesday morning at MHS, two key cogs of that offensive line signed their national letters of intent to play college football, while becoming the latest editions in the growing trend of Tiger linemen to play at the next level.
Offensive tackle Austin Nath inked his commitment to Northern State University out of Aberdeen, S.D., while teammate Alex Werner will be staying a little closer to home signing his letter of intent to play for Southwest Minnesota State University.
Though he was unsure of the exact figure, Marshall head football coach Terry Bahlmann said he thought Nath and Werner to represent the seventh and eighth linemen to sign letters of intent since he took over the Marshall program in 2004, which includes two-time national champion Tyler Gimmestad (an offensive guard at North Dakota State University).
"It's great that the colleges are starting to recognize that we have produced some good linemen," Bahlmann said. "These two guys fall right in line with that. Both of them have been excellent players for us and have put their time in and done what they're supposed to.
"They're two different types of players," Bahlmann added. "Austin is, of course, powerful and extremely strong there. Alex is tall and lean and athletic there. I'm happy for both of them. I know Alex wanted to stay close to home and Austin was getting away a little bit, and now they get the chance to continue their football career and their education."
Werner will be joining his older brother, Nathan, at SMSU, where he will play defensive end. Nathan will be a junior defensive tackle for the Mustangs in the fall.
Along with his time spent keeping defenders out of the backfield for the Tigers, Alex Werner spent an equal amount of time disrupting opposing offenses as a linebacker.
Werner was among the team leaders in tackles, while also racking up a team-high eight sacks for the Tigers' second-ranked defense in 2012. Marshall allowed just 10.9 points per game last season, which trailed only Class AAAA state champion and future Wright County Conference opponent Hutchinson's 9.9 points allowed per game.
It took some time for Werner to crack the starting lineup for the Tigers, earning his first start as a guard during his junior season, but Bahlmann said that Werner, especially, is a prime example of what can be accomplished when a player puts in the time and effort away from the field.
"We believe if kids come in and do the work and follow our program, they're going to turn into good football players and Alex and Austin are great examples of that," Bahlmann said. "Alex is 6-foot-5 and was a little bit of a late bloomer with the weight, but he's about 230 now. His upside is huge with the way he runs and his explosiveness there. I think (SMSU) is going to play him at (defensive end) and I think he'll be a good football player."
Nath, on the other hand, made an immediate impact for the Tigers. As a four-year starter on the offensive line, Nath picked up two Southwest Conference Offensive Lineman of the Year awards in 2011 and 2012.
With the ability to bench press 225 pounds 29 times, Nath is easily one of the strongest teenagers in the nation and garnered interest from from schools like Iowa State, the University of Minnesota and the University of South Dakota. In the end, however, a scholarship and the chance at being a four-year starter swung Nath in the direction of Northern State. Bahlmann is confident in Nath's ability to succeed in Aberdeen.
"Austin's found a good fit at (Northern State)," Bahlmann said. "They're excited to have him and he's probably going to play center or guard there. His bench press of 225 29 times is actually an amazing total for a high school kid. He's benched over 430 pounds in one rep for us here, his strength is an elite area and he's going to come in and be a physical player for them. They think he might have a chance to start as a redshirt freshman."
Both Nath and Werner were All-Southwest Conference selections in 2012, while the Tigers finished the season 9-1 overall, ending their season with a loss to Glencoe-Silver Lake in the Section 2AAAA semifinals.
SMSU was 4-7 overall in 2012 with a 3-4 record in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. Northern State posted a 6-5 overall mark and went 5-2 in the NSIC.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tina Burgundy swimsuit Looks great and feels great Bought it for aqua swim but would wear it to the beach too. November 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Solo47 This swimsuit is attractive and flattering. This suit is true to size, color and description. I was glad to find that it is lined throughout. I bought it for pool exercise, but will be more than happy to wear it at the beach. October 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Michelle52 Great for my water aerobics! I bought this suit for the water aerobics class I take several times a week. I bought it because it promises you can wear it 300 times! The color and fit are flattering and it is very comfortable with adjustable straps. It is comfortable and moves well with my body in the pool. I will be thrilled if I can wear it 300 times! My previous swimsuit was not chlorine resistant and the material began to deteriorate after only 25 times in the pool. July 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Karla Great Top Fit! I am a 34DD and sometimes the tops of suits are not tight enough to be able to move around comfortably (or in an athletic way) without fear of falling out of the top. This suit is supportive and comfortable. The adjustable straps are nice as well. The straps are thick, which make the supportiveness more comfortable. December 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Suitor Nice suit I liked this suit but there was just not enough support in the bust. July 25, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Holly Sent it back Poor fit - the straps were too wide and wouldn't stay up. I practiced swim strokes while trying it on and it surely would've slipped off my shoulders in the pool to do laps. Returned and now looking for racerback. February 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by eastsider comfort, support and durability I have been swimming laps in this suit and it's also flattering enough to wear socially at the pool. For those of us who don't want to show everything, this suit offers a nice style with the twisted top, and adequate coverage on the bottom. If you get the proper size, it will not ride up while lap swimming. Holds up really well to hyper-chlorinated pools. I own 2 of these. October 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Emily the Swimmer Love it I haven't found anything not great about this suit yet. I use it a couple times a week to swim laps at the local pool. It fits well. So far it is durable. It is flattering on a full figured woman. Kudos to TYR. September 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Cyndy in pool therapy Nice suit! Great fitting in bustline. No tummy control. The instructions say "do not wash with detergent" Nicely made. Good quality...too loose around hips. February 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by swimmer Sara Best on line purchase I enjoy swimming laps at a local club, the suit works great! It is very comfortable and I don't worry about it riding up. The only thing I don't like,is that it is a little low on top. December 12, 2011

Officers and Board of Directors
Bringing Proposals to the Board
The Board of Directors is happy to discuss any issue or concern that is appropriate for its consideration. In the interest of efficiency and equity, please consider the following guidelines:
- If you have a concern, consider getting together with a few other members to develop a proposal that remedies the situation. Having the discussion outside of formal meetings helps ensure that the various points of view are considered in the final proposal and makes it much more likely that your proposal would be adopted. It also saves precious time at meetings for other issues that may be just as important.
- Please be considerate of the number of people x duration. E.g., if there are 20 people at a meeting, then every minute of the meeting is 20 minutes of peoples' time spent. Being prepared to explain your proposal in a concise and logical form makes it more likely that there will be time to discuss and act on it.

I LOVED IT! I was skeptical at first when I read other reviews about standing and possibly getting wet, but this show was definitely an experience I will never forget! In fact, I didn't even think about standing and you'll only end up getting wet if you join the others dancing in the 'rain'! You gotta see it for yourself... & don't forget your camera!

Well, I received another oh-crap-call from Lucketts on Saturday. The Painted Empire dresser sold the day after I brought it in.
I guess I wasn't the only one in love with that finish! Here's how I did it…
I've heard about using Vaseline (petroleum jelly) as a paint resist for a while, but I never tried it. On this empire dresser, I pictured layers of blue and wanted to have clear definition between the two colors. This seemed like a good piece to test it out on. I painted the first coat of paint in Flow Blue with the bonding agent added to all of the paint except for what I used on the drawers (I wanted some selective chippiness.) I then rubbed some Vaseline over the edges of the piece and around some of the key holes and other random spots.
I don't think there's a specific time frame to let the Vaseline sit before painting on the second coat, but I decided to wait about an hour to give it some time to dry.
I painted on a second coat, this time in French Enamel without the bonding agent added. I brushed the paint on gently where the Vaseline had been applied. On the drawers where the bonding agent wasn't used, Milk Paint did its wonderful chippy thing…
…and where the Vaseline was…
…total coolness.
When I sanded the piece with a medium grit sanding sponge, the French Enamel paint that was over the Vaseline came off, showing the Flow Blue underneath. That, combined with the chippiness where the bonding agent wasn't used and the places I sanded the paint down to the wood made a very interesting finish that looked as if it had developed over time.
I wiped the surface with a cloth (it was a little gummy where the Vaseline was) and then applied one coat of Furniture Wax.
I can't wait to try this bit of trickery again!

Fast Facts About This Product:
Designed for T-Mobile and Canadian customers, the Tri-Flex C is part of the Enhance series of residential and small business boosters. This completely integrated booster combines Cellular, PCS and the AWS band to dramatically improve 3G and 4G speed. This full-featured booster includes manually adjustable gain control with dials for each band and automatic shutdown for maximum flexibility. Ideal for large homes and small office buildings, warehouses with low cell signal.
How it works: The outside antenna picks up the cellular signal and sends it through the first cable to the amplifier. The signal is then boosted and sent through the second cable to the inside antenna, which rebroadcasts the boosted signal. All of your modems/phones within range of the inside antenna can benefit from the boosted signal wirelessly.
*Many factors will influence the actual coverage area you will see from a repeater, including layout/floorplan, construction, and original un-amplified signal strength. Depending on your situation, you may see more or less coverage than the estimates listed here. It is not possible to guarantee coverage area.

European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
Amina Mohamed of Kenya today formally took up office as Deputy Executive Director of UNEP
Ms. Mohamed, who is also an Assistant-Secretary General of the UN, met with her new staff and colleagues and said she was looking forward to the challenge of UNEP's evolving reform agenda and work programme.
She will also, among her many roles, be providing political and substantive input to Rio+20-the UN Conference on Sustainable Development 2012 scheduled in Brazil next June- and beyond.
Ms. Mohamed, who since 2008 was the Permanent Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs of the Republic of Kenya, said: "The challenges but also the opportunities of sustainable development in the 21st century will in many ways define how nations cooperate and countries thrive over the coming decades."
"UNEP's unique role in analyzing, catalyzing and implementing forward-looking transitions such as the Green Economy will be central to that success. I am delighted to be re-engaging on international issues and joining UNEP at what promises to be an exciting and defining moment in the organization's 39 year history," she added.
Ms. Mohamed concluded: "I also look forward to working with UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner and bringing the perspective of an international diplomat and lawyer from a developing country to his and the organization's work. Kenya is proud to host UNEP and I hope to also bring a greater understanding of UNEP's special role in the lives of the people of Kenya, East Africa and indeed across the globe."
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "We are very pleased to welcome Amina Mohamed on her first day in office. She was the outstanding candidate for the post and a worthy successor to Ms. Angela Cropper of Trinidad and Tobago whose remarkable service and contribution as UNEP's Deputy Executive Director we also recognize today".
"Ms. Mohamed brings a wealth of experience to this position at the national and international level as a distinguished diplomat, lawyer, manager and policymaker working across the sustainable development and environment policy agendas. I look forward to working closely with her in leading UNEP over the coming years," he added.
Ms. Mohamed, whose appointment was announced in May by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, was from 2000 to 2006 the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Kenya to the UN in Geneva.
Her many achievements included being the first woman to chair the General Council of the World Trade Organization, and the first African and first woman to be elected Chair of the Council for the International Organization for Migration.
Since 2008 and as Permanent Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs of the Republic of Kenya, she has played a key leadership role in the political, legal and constitutional reform process.
Born on 5 October 1961, Ms. Mohamed graduated with a LLM in International Law from Kiev State University, and has also undertaken post graduate studies at University of Oxford and the Kenya School of Law.

"Tell me about yourself."
These four words can elevate your blood pressure, open your sweat glands and speed up your heart rate. For most of us, interviews cause stress, worry and trepidation. Fear of the unknown plays a role in that anxiety.
To alleviate some of that stress, the juniors and seniors of Voznesenka created portfolios and practiced interview scenarios. With the support of some Homer agencies, each student then had at least one opportunity to be interviewed and receive feedback to help him/her plan for the future.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the following Homer representatives: Andrea Peterson, city of Homer; Jessie Cashman, South Peninsula Hospital; Kate Mitchell, Nomar; Eric Knutson, Project Grad; Gary Squires, Redden Marine; Jessie Ryan, Kachemak Bay Research Reserve; and Steve Wolfe, Wolfe's Lawns.

Philanthropist Annie Falk, the mastermind behind Palm Beach Entertaining, has been planning parties—for friends and family as well as for charity—for as long as she can remember. If there is one signature element to her soirees, it is the focus on sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients that are organic, sustainably grown and ethically harvested. This chilled avocado soup was the result of a trip to the local market, where Annie found "truckloads" of fresh avocados, just begging to be puréed and combined with crème fraîche and roasted red pepper for a simply chic presentation.
The recipe is featured in Palm Beach Entertaining, a beautiful coffee table book released in September by Rizzoli. All proceeds from book sales benefit the Children's Home Society of Florida.
Chilled Avocado Soup
This is a delicious, simple-to-make soup that gathers all its attention in the decorative aspect: The colors are wonderful, the texture velvety smooth. If condiment squeeze bottles are not in your kitchen, serve the soup garnished with a dollop of crème fraîche and slivers of roasted red pepper. This recipe calls for Espellete pepper, a variety of a chili pepper grown in the Basque region where it is integral to the cuisine.
Serves 6
- 3 avocados, peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped
- 6 cups milk
- Espellete pepper
- 1½ tbs. lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tbs. crème fraîche or sour cream
- 2 jarred roasted red peppers
- 2 medium baguettes, each cut into 16 thin slices
- 4 to 6 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- Hazelnut oil (optional)
Working in batches, puree the avocados in a blender with the milk, Espellete pepper to taste, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a container and chill until ready to serve, at least 2 or 3 hours.
Spoon the crème fraîche into a condiment squeeze bottle. Puree the red peppers in the blender and spoon into another condiment squeeze bottle.
Brush the baguette slices with the olive oil and toast until golden brown. Drain excess oil on paper towels and set aside.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls or soup plates. Alternating between crème fraîche and the roasted red pepper puree, decorate the soup by drawing circles, beginning in the center with a small circle and keeping the spacing between the circles even as possible. Using a skewer or wooden toothpick, "cut" the circles by drawing 6 to 8 lines from the outer circle to the center circle to make the design. Garnish with a drop of hazelnut oil, if using, in the center. Serve with the toasted baguette slices.

Clonidine, SSRIs, SNRIs and gabapentin reduce hot flushes in women with a history of breast cancer; relaxation therapy may have a mild effect in the short term

As treatments and early detection of breast cancer improve, the number of women affected by the consequences of treatment increases. Menopausal issues, such as hot flushes, may affect the majority of these women. Hot flushes may also be more troublesome in the context of breast cancer. At the same time women who have had breast cancer are advised not to take hormone therapies, which are the most effective treatment of this problem, and many are reluctant to take medications following a cancer diagnosis. Nursing staff are frequently called on to advice women in this position as to how to manage their hot flushes and therefore need to keep updated as to the latest evidence around effective and safe interventions. However, there is a large amount of literature on a wide range of potential interventions, and …

ResearchDiet and Lifestyle Studies in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
We have a strong interest in the influence of diet and lifestyle on outcomes among patients with colorectal cancer. While much research has focused on the impact of host factors on the risk of developing colorectal cancer, little data are available to suggest how these factors impact on treatment-related toxicities or long-term outcomes among patients already diagnosed with the disease. Using databases from large oncology cooperative group trials, the Nurses Health Study, and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, we have analyzed the influence of diet and lifestyle on outcomes in early-stage colorectal cancer patients. We have been involved in studies of physical activity, diet, smoking, obesity, weight change, COX inhibitors and vitamin D in colorectal cancer survivors. Based on these studies, I am the principal investigator of a national randomized trial (CALGB 80702) that will test celecoxib as adjunctive therapy to standard treatment for stage III colon cancer. The trial is under development with the National Cancer Institute.
I serve as a Project co-Leader for the Gastrointestinal Cancer SPORE of Dana-Farber / Harvard Cancer Center. We are studying molecular pathways associated with sensitivity and resistance to monoclonal antibodies against the epidermal growth factor receptor for colorectal cancer.
Finally, I am involved in mid-stage testing of novel agents for colorectal cancer. I have served as the principal investigator and co-investigator on multiple phase I / II trials

Good form of magnesium

Magnesium glycinate is a good absorbable form to get your magnesium without getting the runs.
Seems to be free of magnesium sterate
Posted by Reviewer1499149 on Sep 14, 2012
It is hard to find supplements free of magnesium sterate. I'm not sure what is in the "vegetable capsule", so I hope that it doesn't include the mag.sterate. Since I'm not sure about the capsule, I am giving it only 4 vs 5 stars. This is good stuff with NO after-taste.

redox, would you mind sharing what formulation you used for this pizza? pics are great, but they are even better if people know what they are looking at.
Chicago BobThanks for the kind words. I've gotta say that this is one of my favorite pizzas so far. I'll have to try it with sausage next time.
OK great redox, glad you like it. I hope you can get the sausage I have talked about here....http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,23471.0.html
OK great redox, glad you like it. I hope you can get the sausage I have talked about here....http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,23471.0.htmlAlso, not sure if I gave you a good TF on that recipe. I've made them so long I just go by weight...your pie here actually looks quite thick. If you do a 16in again please try about 15-16oz dough instead of 18. Sorry.
What?! I made a Chicago Thick Crust Pizza! I'll make an adjustment the next time I try one, although this one was mighty tasty.
I've always felt that Loowaters' generic dough (thickness factor of 0.09) is a *bit* too thick. I think a thickness factor of 0.07-0.08 is just about right for my liking.
Trust me, it gets even better as you go thinner.Forgot what sauce you used redox...was it puree based?Bob
I got ambitious and tried Red November's pizza sauce, going the whole MAE route. It's very good but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. I used 6 in 1 tomatoes. What sauce do you use?
heck of a nice 1st pie redox!!! cant wait to see your next one! hey what does the MAE route mean? thanks!!
member November's sauce recipe uses quite a few ingredients and is very detailed, uses expensive fresh cherry tomatoes too...it is awesome sauce.
Bob,I have tried November's sauce and don't recall using fresh cherry tomatoes. Maybe you might be thinking about Les's sweet sauce that uses fresh grape tomatoes.Norma
Absolutely correct Norma...thank you. I remember trying Les's great sauce after seeing how much you liked it.Dang...your memory is way better than mine Norma, thanks. I used to have a really good memory...people would always say..."boy, you remember everything Bob! "Guess I'm getting old darn it! I hate it when that happens......
If redox isusing novembers red sauce #2 (or whatever its called), the herbs and spices are moistened and nuked for 2 min at 30%. so redox likely means Microwave Assisted Extraction.
thanks gang! I learned a bunch of new stuff tonight!
redox, I use a real basic diluted puree with only several different spices.I can tell by looking at the recipe, Garvey's sauce would serve you well. There are a couple items on there you could probably omit if you don't have them and I'm sure it will still be great(the paparica and marjoram). Hope Garvey doesn't get mad at me tinkering with his recipe, I'm just trying to make this easier for you to try. Also, you could use a little extra oregano if you don't have the "Italian Seasoning blend"http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,17662.msg171274.html#msg171274

End of the Day Routine
- Grades: 3–5
As I mentioned in last week's post, the brain likes clean beginnings and clean endings. In the video you had a chance to see all the organized enthusiasm that begins a typical day in Studio 24. This week we will take a look at how you can successfully wrap up a day of learning in ten minutes or less. This post contains a video demonstrating the fast-paced flow of the end of our school day.
Photo: Studio 24 students before heading inside for the Wrap It Up routine.
The brain can either pay attention or make meaning, but it does not do both simultaneously in an efficient manner at all. The purpose of an end of the day routine is to signal the brain that it is now time to start making meaning of everything that it learned during the day. The Wrap It Up segment in Studio 24 puts an exclamation mark on the day and allows the brain to shift into an after school frame of mind. Here is a breakdown of our Wrap It Up routine.
If you have trouble viewing the video, you may also check it out on YouTube.
Agenda Ten minutes before they are allowed to get their coats I go over the agenda from the day. Students write down in their personal agendas any homework they may have. On the board I write anything that needs to be included in their agenda. I like to initial each student's agenda to show that I looked to see if the essential information was written down. While I am quickly doing this, the students need something to do . . . enter Roses and Thorns. Note: I also have them rate how their personal day was in the agenda on a scale of one to ten. If a child rates their day as a six or less, then I am sure to follow up with them before they leave. See video above.
Mind Map We take a few minutes to update our weekly mind map with things we learned, events that occurred, or activities we completed throughout the day. A mind map is a visual representation of our week. I save all of these weekly mind maps for the last week of school. I place them around the room in chronological order. Then the students do a memory walk. With a little bit of Kodak commercial music in the background, you will often get some tears shed. Note: Tony and Barry Buzan have a book with tips on how to successfully mind map. See a close up example at the end of the video above.
Roses and Thorns Essentially, this is a modified, upper elementary version of Show and Tell, but it goes much faster. About six students get a chance to share a rose or thorn in the three minutes it takes me to get around the room to sign the agendas. I choose the first student and each student thereafter is chosen by the student who just got done sharing. A "rose" is something that went well for them that day. A "thorn" was something they didn't particularly care for. Photo of rose courtesy of www.freedigitalphotos.net.
Gems / Ops After I am done signing agendas, we reflect upon the day. I ask for three gems. Gems are things that went well for the class in terms of behavior or efficiency (example: We received a good report from Miss Gaughan, our art teacher.). After the three gems are given, I ask for three ops. "Ops" is short for "Opportunities for Improvement" (example: We could have been more focused during our social studies lesson.). See video above.
Whatcha Gonna Tell Yo Momma? I came up with this idea to combat the "nothing" answer to the age old question of "What did you learn in school today?" I ask for three specific items that we learned during our time together. They know they should remember at least one of these items to tell their mommas when they get home. See video above.
Rate the Day Finally we quantify our day with a number. A perfect ten means we had an awesome day in terms of focus, respect, responsibility, and efficiency. A zero means it was the worst day ever. Anything less than a six means privileges will be revoked on the following day of school . . . so be prepared! Initially, the students think every day is a perfect ten. After about a month, they tend to be pickier with a ten than I would be. Note: After the first month I do this segment in Spanish to keep it fresh and to reduce a bit of anxiety about middle school foreign language classes. I also use the phrase "quantify your day" because sneaking in the vocabulary word quantify makes them own the vocabulary word. See video above.
Off the Air We shut off the learning sign that we turned on at the beginning of the day.
C-Ya Dance With a little help from 'N Sync, we end our day with a dance choreographed to a portion of "Bye Bye Bye." See video above.
Favorite Game To help out the janitors we play our favorite game of "Stack Your Chairs!" See video above.
All that in ten minutes. Yes, it is a lot. Yes, it takes awhile to get into the groove. Don't attempt to teach the whole routine at once. Layer it!
Pack Up / Handshake Check Out We pack up and wait for the dismissal bell. At that point we do the class secret handshake again so I can mentally check each kid off my list as they leave.
For more tips on how to energize your classroom with routines and novelty throughout the day, I would suggest Classroom Activators by Dr. Jerry Evanski. He knows his brain research and lists many practical applications in his book.
What wrap up routines do you do in your classroom that you would like to share?
Definitely a wrap,
Director Vasicek
The video won't play. It's says that it is private. Please help.
Mr.V (if you are reading this,
I would like to say that you were and are one of my best teachers. Now i am talking to other teachers in the U.S. Brent taught me things that i don't even think was in 4th grade learning. I am in adv. math and he taught me almost that 4 of all the units. Mr. Vasicek has made some poor choices but power can get get to your head. I can spend hours telling you about him but I can't. If you have been teaching for less than 5 years I would recommend reading his blogs. That is all I have to say.
Thank you for teaching me,
Lexie B.
As a future teacher, I love finding advice from current teachers. This video is absolutely excellent. It seems like a great way to end the day.
Thanks for sharing!
Kaitlyn~ I think you will truly enjoy it. The dance puts a nice punctuation mark at the end of every day. ~Brent
I really enjoyed learning about your daily wrap up!! I think it is so important that the students take responsibility for what they learn throughout the day! I teach Kindergarten and would love any tips on how to modify an end of the day wrap up for my little ones! THANKS!!!
Well, I have never taught kindergarten, but I do know there is a CD put out by Gemini with some fun songs that the kindergarteners might enjoy. One of the songs is called "Bye Bye." http://www.geminichildrensmusic.com/ I might try to incorporate that. Probably a 3 minute clean up song. A 1 minute Bye Bye song (that includes them saying good bye with a handshake or high-5 to their friends). And a 3 minutes get your coat and back pack song.
I find music is a great way to manage kids without sounding like a nag. Within a few weeks of establishing the routine the kids learn exactly when a song is about to end. If you, the teacher, are consistently ready for the next action when the song ends, then they will know to be ready by the last note of the song. Watch a future blog for the ways I use music in my classroom.
Great question. Brent
WOW!... as a new teacher this year I've been having a tough time getting into an end of day routine and this is definitely motivating. I'm going to see if my Grade 3/4s can handle this. Thanks for the AWESOME video and ideas that I will carry throughout my teaching career.
I did a similar routine in first grade. If I can do it. You can do it. Make it your own and have fun with it. The more you own it, the more the kids will. Thank you for reading!
amazing, i would like to do something like that with my students... i´m from Costa Rica and i teach English but it´s kind of difficult to teach a foreing language...could you give some tips of how to do it, i am a new teacher but i will love to see my students to love English and more than that, to use it!!
Thank you for reading the blog. My advice is to pick a portion of your day where you can consistently use some foreign words (as in the video). Use these words all year long and they are bound to stick. Thanks for reading! ~Brent
Brent ~ you are truly an amazing teacher. I love watching you in action. ~Allie
Thanks, Allie. I learn something new every day. Brent
Brent- I really like your "rate your day". My class this year is a tough one and I am going to try that. Do you take away or give them anything for getting a certain number over a period of time?
Rose, Thank you for the question. If their day is less than a 6, then privileges are removed the following day. Permission to get paper, to use the restroom, and to sharpen pencils must be granted. Learning is strictly out of the book (no demo's or experiments). There is no morning Hoopla, no music, etc. The students call this Serious Tie Day because I wear my business tie and not a fun tie. Afterwards, I put the tie on the wall as a reminder of the day. In the future all I have to do is pretend to reach for the tie and the room calms down.
If they earn a 10 (we average about one a month), then a reward is in order. We do Red Ticket Drawings (where I raffle off prizes), iPod Day, extra recess, or a particularly fun experiment.
I really make them earn those 10's. When they get one they truly feel accomplished. Going for 10, Brent
Hmmm.. Nice artcile and video. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Thank you for reading. Brent
Your class looks like so much fun! I love how you manage to spruce up even the most potentially mundane activities and routines. :) Your tips are "gems".
Sparkle & shine, Amanda
Thanks. When I make the boring things fun for me, then I think the attitude is contagious. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Shined and sparkled, Brent
Another hit! Thank you for sharing!
Would it be possible for you to share videos with us of your Waka Waka and Bye Bye Bye dances? I'd love to get some ideas on choreography from you! Thanks!
Eileen, Thank you. And, unfortunately, I am unable to show you the full dances with the music as it would violate copyright laws. My best advice is to watch the videos and pick out the easier moves to teach your students...or come see it in action live.
Keep on dancin', Brent

Healthy Living
Water vs. Soda
Liquid Candy
Soda pop is liquid candy. It's a sweet treat to be enjoyed occasionally, but most people cannot fit it into a healthy diet every day.
Soft drinks (soda, "fruit" drinks, sweetened teas, sports drinks, etc.) are the largest source of refined sugars in Americans' diets. Would you ever sit down and eat 16 teaspoons of sugar? That's how much sugar is in a 20-ounce bottle of soda. That's more refined sugar than you should eat in a day (for a typical kid eating about 2,350 calories, health experts recommend eating no more than 13 teaspoons of refined sugar a day).
Kids who drink more sodas and other soft drinks eat more calories and are more likely to be overweight. The calories you drink don't seem to register as well as the calories you eat from solid food. So when you add a 20-ounce soda to your lunch, you probably won't make up for it later by eating 250 fewer calories of solid food.

Glazed Barbeque Shrimp
- Oil or nonstick spray, for greasing
- 1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought
- 1/3 cup apricot jam
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Special equipment: 6 metal skewers
- Barbecue Sauce:
- One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, optional
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grate with oil or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Barbeque Sauce, apricot jam, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Toss two-thirds of the sauce with the shrimp, and reserve the remaining one-third for basting. Skewer the shrimp through the head end and the tail end, so the shrimp are skewered in two places, the top and the bottom.
Transfer the skewers to the grill. Close the cover and cook for 1 minute per side. Baste the shrimp with the reserved sauce, close the cover and cook until the shrimp are opaque and well glazed, 30 seconds per side.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, vinegar, molasses, ketchup, onion, brown sugar, ginger, salt and pepper, garlic and jalapeno, if desired. Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.

Old GloryPosted Friday, July 20, 2012, at 2:35 PM
A few columns back, I wrote about our flag. As a matter of fact, when I checked the archives, it was in July of last year. Here it is a year later, and for whatever reason, my thoughts are once more running in that direction.
I did a little refreshing of my memories from school via the internet concerning our precious flag. We all know our flag represents liberty, freedom, pride, and Betsy Ross. Speaking of Betsy, she has always been credited for designing our flag, but there has also been controversies as to how much input she actually had in the design. Regardless of whom or how many were involved, they did a beautiful job.
Our flag has gone through many changes before it actually became the flag we all know and love today. Actually, from my reading, it took a very long time, from Jan.1,1776, till Aug. 21,1960.
Wherever we look, we can see her flying; from federal and state buildings, schools, hospitals, court houses, post offices, private businesses, homes and parks. She adorns the face of postage stamps and travels the world over. She sits on top of Mt. Everest and flies on the moon.
I learned there are different theories as to the meanings behind the designs of our flag. We know that the thirteen stripes represent the thirteen British colonies and the fifty stars represent the fifty states. In a book "Our Flag", published in 1989 by the House of Representatives, it is said that
the white signifies purity and innocence, red represents hardiness and valor, and blue, the color of the chief, signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice. Also, from the book, the stars are a symbol of the heavens and the stripes a symbol of the rays of light emanating from the sun. She has gone with us through wars, she flies at half staff at the death of special people.
In my opinion, the most touching of all is when she is folded, ever so gently and compact, then placed in the arms of wives, mothers, fathers, husbands and other loved ones at the death of one who has served our country.
My mother was given one when Dad was placed at rest and it means so much to me. "Old Glory" and Dad, along with millions of others, fought together for the rights and freedoms we have today.
It sickens and angers me to know of what they fought for so gallantly is in such danger today of being taken from us in so many ways. It tears me apart every time I hear of someone who dishonors her by burning, tearing into pieces or stomping on her. I don't express a lot of political thoughts, but I do have very strong feelings about what our country has always stood for and what is happening today.
The following story is one of my favorite stories about our flag.
During the 1908 summer Olympics, the flag bearers were asked to "dip their flag to King Edward VII". Our flag bearer was team captain, Martin Sheredan. When another flag bearer refused to dip his flag, Mr. Sheredan joined him and made this remark. "This flag dips to no earthly king."
We still have men and women who feel this way and I applaud them. These are the ones, including you and I, who will, with the help of God, return our country to her original status and to the freedoms that have been fought and died for.
This column, my hats are off to Betsy Ross and all the others, including George Washington, who gave us our flag to help us through tough times and to help us remember, "from whence we came."
See ya next time somewhere in a korner.

Kathleen is a resident of Dexter. She was born in Indiana, but her parents moved their family back to the Dexter area when she was three. Other than three years she and her husband, Collin, lived in St. Charles, Mo. and ten years in Birmingham, Alabama, she has spent her life in Dexter. As you can tell, Kathleen is a people person and believes in giving credit to whom credit is due. Thus, the reason for her hero/heroine column every other week in Kathleen's Korner. As you can tell, she also like to have fun, most of the time at her own expense. Kathleen (Grubbs) is a 1964 graduate of Dexter High School and invites her friends to her "Korner."

Doing a cover of song can be risky business. There is the constant threat for comparison, and if the cover does not live up to a certain standard in comparison to the original, most people do not even give it a second thought. With that being said, here are some covers/remixes/arrangements that I find do a great job of updating an old idea into a new product. These new renditions are not necessarily better than the original, but they do seamlessly incorporate another person's work into the new artist's own style to make an interpretation of the song that is worth our attention.

Help save those little fish
To the Editor:
With reports of large numbers of 6- to 10-inch walleyes being caught in Fairmont lakes, area fishermen are encouraged to catch and release.
To save these released fish, it is suggested to use a small jig rather than a plain hook that is more easily swallowed. Like Manitoba law, pinching the barbs down allows easier hook removal and reduces release mortality.

I notice a white discharge from my vagina after sex...what is it?
I've been sexually active since I was 16. Since the first time I had sex ⎼ and every time after that, only with sex ⎼ there's a white discharge from my vagina. The discharge is kind of thick and smooth, and there's no unusual odor. Is there something wrong with me?

NEIL BROWN, Executive Editor
Our decision not to publish at story last November was a close call. We decided to hold off. Here's why.
In the days before the September primary, this newspaper was tipped to allegations about the personal life of Republican gubernatorial front-runner Charlie Crist, including a charge that he was involved in a paternity dispute over the birth of a girl 17 years ago.
Although it was just before the primary and we understood that his political enemies might well be behind it, we vigorously pursued the story. The moment we had a story that we believed was fair to the attorney general and that went no further than the facts we could substantiate, we published it. That happened the day before the primary.
We deliberated extensively before publishing that story. Newspapers are reluctant to run controversial stories so close to an election, when the subject has little time to react. Still, we decided to publish a story we were convinced was relevant, accurate and fair. In fact, the St. Petersburg Times was one of only three newspapers to print the paternity story, though many others had much of the same information.
In short, we try whenever possible to publish what we know rather than keep it out of the paper.
Meanwhile, on the political blog that we host, called The Buzz, anonymous politicos of all stripes were making even worse - and so far unsubstantiated - allegations about Crist. That had become a regular occurrence on our blog and others where anonymous postings are a fixture. So as our paternity dispute story was hitting the streets, the blog was full of accusations that we were either sabotaging the Crist campaign or protecting the St. Petersburg native by failing to print rumors about him.
Which brings us to the Mark Foley scandal.
Last November, we chose not to publish a story about how the Republican congressman sent cryptic, though arguably inappropriate, e-mails to a former congressional page from Louisiana.
Let's be clear: The e-mails we obtained were not at all sexually explicit. As Tom Fiedler, my counterpart at the Miami Herald, said, they were "ambiguous." Further, the page had provided Foley with his e-mail address voluntarily and had acknowledged in an e-mail to a friend that he initially had no suspicions about the congressman. We later tracked down the page, who told us that the e-mails made him uncomfortable. We also interviewed another page who had received e-mails from Foley and found nothing inappropriate.
Still, the Louisiana page had forwarded the e-mails to a congressional staff member asking for guidance. The Foley exchange - including the request for a "pic"- seemed creepy. Was I being paranoid? the page wanted to know.
Our decision not to publish was a close call. We decided to hold off. Why?
I led deliberations with our top editors, and we concluded that we did not have enough substantiated information to reach beyond innuendo.
We were unsuccessful in getting members of Congress who were involved in the matter or those who administer the House page corps to acknowledge any problem with Foley's ambiguous e-mail or to suggest that they thought it was worth pursuing.
And we couldn't come up with a strong enough case to explain to a teenager's parents why, over their vehement pleas to drop the matter, we needed to make their son the subject of a story - and the incredible scrutiny that would surely follow.
It added up to this conclusion: To print what we had seemed to be a shortcut to taint a member of Congress without actually having the goods.
We paid for that restraint last week when we got scooped by an anonymous blogger - not a reporter - who posted the ambiguous e-mails on a Web site titled Stop Sexual Predators. When Foley's election opponent seized on it and called for an investigation, ABCnews.com ran with the story. That provoked former pages to come forward with the stunning set of sexually explicit instant messages that led to Foley's resignation and a tidal wave of political fallout.
Nobody in the news business likes to get scooped. We're not happy about it. We're also not alone.
The Miami Herald had the same e-mails. In Washington, several other mainstream news organizations apparently have had the ambiguous e-mails (which had been making their way around the Capitol corridors for some months), yet took a pass on publication. That's absolutely not an excuse from our perspective. It simply reflects that our judgment, agree or disagree, was not an unusual one.
Knowing what we know now, our judgment seems much more debatable than it did at the time. Our journalistic intentions were honorable, but second-guessing our performance is absolutely fair game.
In the wake of the Foley story, we're reviewing what we did. After we opted not to publish, should we - the top editors of the paper - have had a fuller discussion on whether there was a smoking gun, and what would it have taken to find it? Instead of pursuing a Palm Beach County congressman little-known to our readers, we decided to focus on local issues and politics and other investigations.
But as we take a fair bit of heat for our journalistic restraint, it's worth noting the dynamics of the modern media marketplace. The Foley scandal broke with a raw posting not guided by journalistic convention or rules of credibility. This posting yielded an important story. But so many other allegations are aired online with little regard for accuracy and fairness. The political online world is full of those who trade in rumor and gossip, tout the instances when they were right, but pay little price for the mountains of information that prove to be false and hurtful.
That's not the standard we aspire to at our flagship newspaper. We will always try to publish information when we can stand fully behind it, but our standard of fairness and credibility, even in a scandal like the Foley case, needs to mean something. Even if it slows us down.

JJ Luna's personal privacy blog. In 1959 he moved to Spain's Canary Islands to begin a then-illegal educational work that included secret meetings in remote mountain forests. Although pursued by General Franco's Secret Police, he maintained his privacy via a false identity and was never caught. When the Spanish dictator moderated Spain's harsh laws in 1970, Luna was free to come in from the cold. However, he remains in the shadows to this day. He is currently an international privacy consultant.

"Dear Abby" gives the wrong answer in today's column
"Honestly mistaken in Plano, Texas" explained that she'd accidentally dialed a couple of wrong numbers. When no one answered, she just hung up. However, both times, the persons she'd called later called her back.
""The first time," she wrote, "it was an irate mother demanding to know why I was calling her kid's cell phone. She threatened to call the police .... " The second caller also was angry with her. "Honestly mistaken's" question was how to respond when this happens again.
Abby's answer was just to apologize the next time. That was not the best answer, right? If you've been following this blog, you already know the answer. It is so obvious that I'm going to let one of you readers post the answer as a comment, below. :-)

She shouldn't have accepted the returned phone calls in the first place, I propose, after glancing at the incoming numbers and determining that she neither recognized nor wished to speak with the callers.ReplyDelete

The answer; don't pick up the phone for a caller you don't know.ReplyDelete
If they can't talk to you, then there is no dialogue, and you can't get dragged in too deep or otherwise incriminate yourself.
A legitimate caller will leave a message. Someone who wants to give you a problem won't. Since it's pretty hard to give an answering machine a hard time.
I'd hate to embarrass myself with the wrong answer but shouldn't she attempt to make her number not visible from caller ID? Then there is no call backs, and no apologies.ReplyDelete
- DonnieJuly 9, 2012 at 10:50 PM
I'll go out on a limb here: have the phone company block outgoing caller ID?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 9, 2012 at 11:47 PM
If the answer is to use a blocked cell number, that translates to, "no one will answer their phone when I call them" (I never do). If, instead, the answer is to leave your phone off when not in use, it doesn't work for those of us who use our cell for business (gotta answer those calls). It's a tough call either way though.ReplyDelete

Don't answer the phone if you don't know who's calling, or are not expecting any calls.ReplyDelete

She should have called on a cell phone that did not have her true name or address attached.ReplyDelete

I use a prepaid cell phone withReplyDelete
none of my personal information attached.
Also, if I find myself getting unwanted calls
from the same number, I add that
number to the "Contacts" of my phone and
give it the name "Do Not Answer" or "DNA" so that
shows up if the phone rings and
I know not to answer the call.

The answer I was looking for was to use Caller ID Blocking. In the rare case where some friend will not answer such calls, I either start with *82, or else I leave a message.ReplyDelete

*67 blocks my #ReplyDelete
Also, a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th cell fon is not that much more for privacy and security.

Our stupid phone company randomly 'unblocks' our unlisted phone number. The only reason I know this is if I call someone I know, and they sometimes say, "Hey, your name and number showed up this time!" So, just a little tip to beware, blocked/unlisted doesn't always mean what they say.ReplyDelete
If you accidentally pick up a call you don't want, just do what I do and keep saying, 'Hello? Hello? Sorry, I can't hear you. Bye', or start speaking a foreign language or just mutter gibberish. Also, you have to keep calling a number before the cops will put a trace on it (at least in Pennsylvania). I wish we didn't even need a phone!

Even better: now knowing what the mother has made known, that the phone belonged to a young kid, pretend to be his teacher, having called about his son being drunk at school, and watch HER now being all embarassed and apologatic. Or, better yet, tell the mother off about something SHE is supposed to have done ("your son told me you force him to drink alcohol!") and enjoy her being lost for words.ReplyDelete
Hihihihihi.... Only joking, leave them alone.
Do as JJ Luna says.
