Do Stomach-Turning Cover Photos Sell Magazines?
In your wicked Thursday media column: Time gets graphic, the New York Post doesn't know how to apologize, reporters kidnapped in Mexico, even more sex-related troubles for Sumner Redstone, and a PR service is advertising with Fox News' reputation.
- Have you seen the latest cover of Time? It's an Afghan woman with her nose cut off. "What happens if we leave Afghanistan," it reads. That woman won't be bombed, by us, perhaps? That's politics! The media question: can a horrific cover image sell magazines? We'll know in a week.
- Yesterday, the New York Post ran a snippy correction for erroneously reporting that a New York hospital was giving a liver transplant to a confessed wife-killer. Now, Foster Kamer says that the staff thinks someone might get canned because the story turned out to be false. The Post's PR person says no. Perhaps the larger lesson is, don't be snippy in your correction of your own huge error?
- Mexican drug cartels kidnapped three TV news cameramen and a newspaper reporter Monday, and now the criminals are demanding that local TV stations air their anti-police videos as a condition of releasing the journalists. The reporters still haven't been released. Hey drug cartels: just buy an ad.
- Elsewhere today in Media Execs Facing Harassment Claims: P6 says that a former female senior Viacom exec is preparing to sue Sumner Redstone for sexual harassment. This could also be classified as, Further Recent Problems for Sumner Redstone. (But here's one woman who says Sumner didn't pay her money just for being pretty, so there's that.)
- A PR service called "Special Guests," which purports to get you booked on talk shows in exchange for a fee, is using photos of Fox News personalities in its ads, implying that Fox News puts people on the air for money. The company president told PRNewser "I really don't know" whether he needs permission to do that. Okay.

Jake Gardiner, a goals against retrospective, Part III
Cam Charron
September 13 2012 06:18PM
Jake Gardiner was on the ice for 62 even strength goals against last season, and Lord help us if we don't go through each and every one to try and pin the blame on somebody else.
Eight goals to look at, today. We are not, as I expected at the outset, watching plays and noting a Staplesean mis-step by a single player that leads to a goal. What we are watching is the capsizing of five Toronto Maple Leafs in this train wreck of a defensive system. Through Part I and Part II, we have noted two goals against that were the direct result of Jake Gardiner's play.
Goal one today I guess you could say is the direct result of a play made by Jake Gardiner:
It took me a while to note exactly where Gardiner was in this play, because his biggest fault came a little over two minutes earlier, when he tripped Nathan Horton. Horton went down pretty easily.
This next one is also Boston, in James Reimer's first game back. The first of the games that showed Ron Wilson's "planned destruction" of Reimer, according to Don Cherry. Gardiner is out here with Cody Franson and the big line, late in the game, down 3-1:
I've watched this three or four times and can't figure out what's going on. Some part of me thinks that Gardiner tripped in Franson's skate, some part of me thinks that Horton would have been better passing it to Johnny Boychuk, but mostly I think that Tyler Bozak has no clue how to play inside his own blue line. He has a chance to clear, then gets stuck behind Franson.
Conclusion: Tyler Bozak is not a hockey player, he is bad A.I. designed by Electronic Arts.
I looked back prior to the start of this goal. Gardiner permits Brandon Prust to easily exit the zone and he fires a hard pass cross-ice to Sean Avery, and that's where the clip begins:
Gardiner takes the initiative and follows Michael Del Zotto into the corner, switching sides with Luke Schenn, as we've seen before. Schenn leaves Prust alone, choosing to cover the high slot, which I guess is the right play. But he closes in to prevent a wrap-around just as Gardiner does. Joe Colborne is blissfully unaware that his man is now Artem Anisimov, off the bench, one of the better snipers in the league.
I think some blame can be credited to Gardiner for a very soft pinch against Prust in the first place. That permit New York to move the puck forward in the first place.
This one is against Buffalo:
Part of me wants to believe Gardiner just doesn't trust Schenn. The other part makes me think Gardiner made a really dumb play in a close game against a divisional opponent.
Same game:
That is the moment. Phil Kessel falling over is the moment that the Toronto Maple Leafs, and all the hope the 2011 team represented, collapsed. It was December 16, and I was watching it all unfold. I didn't know the ramifications at the time, but this is the first time where there is no semblance of offensive structure. Kessel gains the line, looks for support and has nobody. Forwards are skating backwards. Defencemen are skating forwards, and by the time Thomas Vanek collects the puck, he has over twenty feet of space to work with.
Ever get the feeling that you have no idea what you were doing a little over a year ago? I thought I had left to go to my parents' for the Christmas break the day after the Buffalo game, but that can't be right, because I know I took scoring chances for this Vancouver-Toronto game, a day later, at my old Kamloops apartment.
Somebody ask Luke Schenn if he knows where Chris Higgins was a little over a year ago. The rest of the 'D' looks structured, but on the failed exit, it looks like Schenn thinks Higgins is going to go behind the net and start a cycle. He guessed wrong.
I looked a little further behind. Gardiner hit Tim Connolly with a beautiful, crisp outlet. Connolly returns the favour by falling in the offensive zone and allowing the Sedins to break out 3-on-2-and-Joey-Crabb. Crabb falls over and, well, you know how Justin Bourne always stresses gap control?
Alex Burrows, with the puck, has three options. Pass it to Daniel Sedin, who could hit Kevin Bieksa going to the net, or cut out the middleman and pass it to Kevin Bieksa who is primed to go right to the net. He cuts out both middlemen, going to the top of the slot himself. It is also a beautiful shot.
Last one today, I promise. This one was the real "silencer" on the night. Gardiner has a very good shift here actually, weaving through two guys and getting the puck deep for Tyler Bozak, who throws the puck in front for Kessel but misses:
Gardiner hustles back, but this goal here is just a case of a pressing team leaving themselves open and Jannik Hansen making a good play to get around Dion Phaneuf.
So what are we learning here? That Jake Gardiner is a good little player on a bad hockey team?
September 14 2012, 10:00AM
Enjoying watching these, Cam. Good chance to walk through the situations, the goals, the team-mates, see what the kid did right and wrong, what looks to be rookie mistakes and what's teachable.
What I'd say - in his defence - is that:
1. He had some world-class bad defence being played around him. WE've already watched video of bad goals given up by Gus, Schenn, Bozak, Liles and others. And there'll be more where those came from.
2. When I looked at the in-game situations, what we've already seen some, but I know it increased rapidly, is how much Wilson came to rely on him to chase the scoreboard when the Leafs were down. Gardiner had overwhelmingly positive ratings on offense, so Wilson would throw him out, shift after shift, to try and catch up. So I suspect we're gonna see more of those goals where he's skating like a fury to get back into the play - and often not because he's made bad pinches and such, but just because, he was told to gamble.
On the other hand, it's clear that he hasn't had the physical size or strength to be ABLE to take the body or make the plays when it's in tough, down tight. He was one of the lightest defencemen in the league to start with, and likely lost weight as he went through a marathon season (for him.) Some smallish defencemen learn to use their eyes, their stick, and their positioning to handle these cases, but I don't think Gardiner has yet learned to master that style. So he has some learning to do.
Part of this may simply be because.... he's a converted forward. Defence just isn't quite yet second nature. So he's gonna need someone to help teach him, or he has to gain some strength, or he needs a sold partner.
But that said, if you just removed the 10 most screamingly obvious, and utterly embarrassing, goals against that came from Gus, Luke, Tyler and company, and readjusted Gardiner's stats accordingly, his stats move up into the top 1/2 of the league's defencemen, so.... not all bad.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Ferron City Council heard an update concerning the golf course expansion project at their regular meeting. Proposals are in and opened, the only thing the project is waiting for is the permit from the Bureau of Land Management for construction to begin.
The golf course is operating on an existing permit which encompasses most of the expansion project as well. A small portion of the new nine is outside the existing permit boundaries. A permit is required to do work on that parcel of land. In the beginning of the expansion process, the BLM assured the golf course committee the permit would not be a problem. Now, three years later, the permit has not been issued.
Ferron City Council did award the preconstruction services contract to Nielson Construction of Huntington. Nielson's will meet with the engineers and the golf course advisory committee to discuss some considerations which need to be completed before the award is made for the construction portion of the expansion.
When the permit comes through, the construction contract will be awarded. In a previous meeting, Bryan Barton of Jones and DeMille Engineering said the last date for the construction to begin is April 15. "We would really like to begin construction before April 1 to meet the seeding deadlines," said Barton. "If this project is not completed this year, the costs could exceed the budget."
In other business conducted by Ferron City Council, one new business license was issued. A discussion concerning proposed improvements to the Fairgrounds building was heard. Some of the improvements suggested were to repaint the inside, enclose the water heater, install doors on the storage room, lower the ceiling, and take out the bleachers. Most of these improvements are for cosmetic reasons to make the building more pleasing for rentals.
Another building was discussed. Mayor JoAnn Behling said she feels the city hall belongs to the residents of Ferron and they should be allowed to rent the building for family or business functions. The council discussed new rental fees and conditions and agreed to allow the residents of Ferron to use the facility. More specific information can be obtained by calling city hall.
Councilman Michael Behling stated new school zones signs are needed around the elementary school. He also informed the council he is researching automatic water meters, the type which can be read electronically.
Councilman Trent Jackson said spring cleanup will be held on April 25 or May 2. The committee is still discussing the event and will finalize decisions as it draws near. He also stated the town is in need of a person to run the youth baseball program which is slated to begin in May.
Councilman Ronny Bloomer said he is working with Mark from Gilly's to bring an up and coming country artist to perform in Ferron. This may be an opportunity for a free concert as this artist is coming to Utah to perform at the Black Hawk Arena in Salina. More details will be discussed at a later date. Bloomer has also worked with the Co-op and purchased 14 pens and a new show ring for the sheep barn.
In the public hearing held by the city council, the approval to open the budget from 2008-2009 was given. Following the public hearing, the resolution was adopted to make adjustments to balance that budget. Some funds have come in for the youth city council and that income needs to be added. Other revenue that was not collected in the form of scholarships which were declined need to be added back into the budget. A grant received by the fire department will also be added into the revenue.
The next Ferron City Council meeting will be held Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. at city hall.

"Saving for More"
By DK from Olympia, WA
We built a Craftsman style home with beautiful wood wrap around the windows. These blinds were perfect! The easy install compression design was just what I needed the blinds look great and are very secure. I bought the room darkening shades and they are also great insulators. We immediately felt a difference in the warmth of the bedrooms where they're installed. I'm saving up for more.View this product

But Odd has a knack for finding himself in the path of trouble no matter where he goes — even among the eccentric monks in their sanctuary and with his steady spirit companion, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, at his side. For a killer is stalking the ancient holy halls, and Odd is about to meet an enemy who eclipses any he has yet encountered.
Odd number: don't miss the first two audiobooks in this series, Odd Thomas and Forever Odd.
©2006 by Dean Koontz; (P)2006 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.
"The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is Koontz's most likeable creation." (The New York Times)
"An irresistibly offbeat mix of supernatural horror and laugh-out-loud humor." (Publishers Weekly)
"Odds are you will LOVE this book!!!"
I am an avid Dean Koontz reader & fan. So of course I have already read the first & second "Odd" books. I liked them & considered them to be entertaining though I was not necessarily a big "Odd" fan.
BUT!...This 3rd book in the series was absolutely wonderful. There are several passages that are nothing less than poetic prose; not sappy or gratuitous but enchanting. Odd was much more genuine & witty in his humor & in his observations. Though very good at figuring out where things are going, the last few chapters strayed from the assumed path & captured my complete attention to the immediate written word. During this time I was not thinking ahead to what, more than likely, was going to happen.
This book is more about the humanity of people than the inhumanity of Dean Koontz's monsters. He has transcended his "formula" & expanded his range. For this I am very grateful. I can not wait to see more of this from him.
To put it simply....Brother Odd Thomas & Dean Koontz's writing made me feel really, really good! Lighter in heart & spirit as well.
White Sulphur Springs, WV
"Dorky & Loveable"
Odd is great reading when no actual thought is necessary. You gotta love this character, his adventures are hilarious, and it's nice to take a break from "heavy literature" and just read a nice little story like Odd Thomas stories sometimes.
"not bad"
Again not as good as the first. The plot line is better than the second book, but does not match the first book. Characters are better developed than the second book, but the evil is very difficult to visualize and understand. I would have preferred sticking with ghosts and exploring the bodocks a bit more.
"Odd, but terrific!"
I enjoyed the first two Odd Thomas books so much that I couldn't wait until Brother Odd came out. Dean Koontz's use of vocabulary is amazing. I often wonder what kind of mind can conceive the stories that Koontz writes. Brother Odd has an interesting interaction between accepted religion and Odd Thomas' gift, which adds a new twist to the Odd Thomas series. I look forward to more Odd Thomas novels!
"The odder the better!!"
I don't understand some of the reviewers, I love Koontz and this is one of his best. I can't wait for Odd's next story. I am glad to see that tons of foul language is not needed to write a great novel. King's getting more foul mouthed and Koontz is getting cleaner. Thanks Dean, Keep up the good work. Maybe you are on an spiritual journey along with Odd. Enjoy the journey!!
I enjoyed this book but not as much as Forever Odd. If you enjoyed the other Odd Thomas books you will probably like this one too. After viewing the author's Web site and his 20 reasons for writing Odd Hours I decided to ship the last book in this series.
"Another good "Odd" one from Koontz"
If you are looking for light suspense,a little humor and just a fun read. The Odd Thomas series is your best bet. I found Dean Koontz several years ago with Fear Nothing and have been hooked ever since.
"Whatever Happened to Baby Odd?"
I adored Odd Thomas the first time I met him in the original novel. He was quirky, fun, earnest, and kind. In this latest novel, he's become self-righteous and rather rigid. I was surprised at how Koontz seemed to insert diatribes against everything from the ACLU to unions to euthanasia every chance he got. Oh, and don't forget about science. I respect Mr. Koontz's right to his political beliefs (come to that, I respect Odd's rights too) but it's hard to like a character who has gone from complex to monologic. After this latest installment, I don't think I have the fortitude to meet an even older and more rigid Odd in the future. I liked the younger, more open Odd too much.
"Koontz at play"
The Odd Thomas series are, I believe, Dean Koontz at recess- weaving a wierd, humorous tale. This lighthearted approach is a bit of a departure from some of his other works. Brother Odd may be a bit predictable in plot, but the story is still great fun. This reader has done the entire series, and on this book his characterizations and voices are so well done I "forgot" I was listening to a book- I so thoroughly felt I was listening to Odd himself narrating his adventures. Probably best if you listen to these in order.
"wonderful story"
this was only my third (but by no means last) Dean Koontz Audiobook (after the first Odd Books) and I really loved it very much. I especially liked the reference to the two novels by Kate DiCamillo who are one of my absolute favorite audiobooks.
David Aaron Baker did a beautiful job as narrator as he always does.
A highly recommendable Audiobook !

Friday's ice causes windshield woes
BRISTOL, Tenn. - It's a job many of us were dreading Friday night and Saturday morning, we're talking about scraping your windshield. But taking short-cuts to get on the road sooner, can wind-up costing you hundreds of dollars.
We checked with Safelite Auto Glass in Bristol, Tennessee and employees say they're especially busy this weekend repairing cracked or scratched windshields from the ice we encountered Friday.
That's because drivers were trying to de-ice their windshield the wrong way.
Here's how employees say you can avoid spending hundreds of dollars on repairs this winter. "Gradually defrost your windshield so that it gradually heats up and it's not extreme temperature change. Don't ever throw hot water on a windshield, it will cause major damage," said employee Nancy Shinabarger.
We've also learned any small cracks you may have on your windshield can spread during extreme temperature changes.

MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian ballet star who most recently played the title role in "Ivan the Terrible" at the famed Bolshoi Theater has confessed that he organized the acid attack on the theater's ballet chief, Moscow police said Wednesday.
Sergei Filin, the artistic director of the Bolshoi ballet, suffered severe burns to his eyes and face on Jan. 17 when a masked attacker threw a jar of sulfuric acid in his face as he returned home late at night. The 42-year-old former dancer is undergoing treatment in Germany.
Star dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko, 29, confessed to masterminding the attack, and two other men confessed to being accomplices, police said in a statement.
"I organized that attack but not to the extent that it occurred," a bleary-eyed Dmitrichenko said in footage released by Russian police.
The Associated Press could not immediately verify whether that confession was made under duress.
Moscow police official Svetlana Kokotova told The Associated Press that investigators believe that Dmitrichenko harbored "personal enmity (against Filin) based on his professional activity."
Bolshoi spokeswoman Katerina Novikova told AP that Filin had been informed about Dmitrichenko's detention, but said the theater would not comment until after the trial.
Dmitrichenko, who comes from a family of dancers and joined the Bolshoi in 2002, has danced several major parts in recent years, including the villain in "Swan Lake." Novikova said on Tuesday that management was unaware of any conflict between him and Filin. However, Channel One state television reported that Dmitrichenko's girlfriend, Anzhelina Vorontsova, also a Bolshoi soloist, was known to have been at odds with Filin.
Dmitrichenko remained in police custody pending a court hearing on Wednesday in which prosecutors will ask the court to have the men arrested. It was unclear whether the three men had lawyers, or when the prosecutors will move for formal charges against them.
The Bolshoi Theater is one of Russia's premier cultural institutions, best known for "Swan Lake" and the other grand classical ballets that grace its stage. Backstage, the ballet company has been troubled by deep intrigue and infighting that have led to the departure of several artistic directors over recent years.
Filin's colleagues have said the attack could be in retaliation for his selection of certain dancers over others for prized roles. Filin told state television before he checked out of a Moscow hospital in January that he knew who ordered the attack but would not name the person.
The alleged perpetrator, 35-year-old Yuri Zarutsky, was arrested on Tuesday in the Tver region north of Moscow, police said. Police had also detained and questioned another suspected accomplice, identified as Andrei Lipatov, who is believed to have driven Zarutsky to the scene of the crime.
Russian news agencies reported that Lipatov had been detained in Stupino, a sprawling Moscow suburb where the Bolshoi owns summer houses used by its dancers and management. Dmitrichenko said in a recent interview that he was managing the Bolshoi dachas in his spare time.
The Bolshoi's general director, Anatoly Iksanov, accused longtime principal dancer Nikolai Tsiskaridze of inspiring the attack. Tsiskaridze, a long-time critic of the theater's management, has denied the allegation and accused Iksanov and his allies of fueling the dispute.
Dmitrichenko's girlfriend was coached by Tsiskaridze.
When contacted by The Associated Press Tsiskaridze texted back: "I have nothing to say..."
Filin is the sixth artistic director at the Bolshoi since the legendary Yuri Grigorovich, who led the dance company for three decades, resigned in 1995 after losing a protracted dispute with theater management. Successive artistic directors have been unable to overcome the resistance from dancers and teachers still loyal to Grigorovich, but Filin was seen as capable of bridging that gap.
The Izvestia daily on Wednesday quoted ballet teacher Marina Kondratyeva as saying that Dmitrichenko had a brilliant career and would not have needed to seek revenge on Filin.
Kondratyeva admitted that his girlfriend Vorontsova had not been given leading parts lately but for a good reason: "How could Filin 'elbow her out'? Tsiskaridze is mentoring and coaching her — but she was just plain fat."
Vorontsova danced for Filin when he worked at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater, Moscow's second ballet company. Russian newspapers said that Filin expected Vorontsova to stay at the theater when she finished doing her apprenticeship but she went to Bolshoi instead — before Filin was hired to work there.
Russian newspapers quoted unidentified ballet dancers saying that Dmitrichenko had a fiery temper.
In a rare public outburst, Dmitrichenko posted an angry comment in November responding to a newspaper review which said his "artistic scope is limited not to mention his physical potential."
Dmitrichenko on the website of the Kommersant daily accused the journalist of bias, calling the writer "a failed performer." Kommersant later took down his comment. One of the screenshots of the detailed remarks read:
"I'm happy, I'm accomplished, I work with the genius of a teacher, I work with Genius, Grigorovich himself!!! What about you??"
Dmitrichenko was due to appear at the Bolshoi in "Sleeping Beauty" on March 16 where he played Bluebird.

The highway above switches back and forth as it climbs up the steep hillside. The much gentler slope of the road makes it easier for vehicles to reach the top of the mountain. The highway is an example of an inclined plane.
What Is An Inclined Plane?
An inclined plane is a simple machine that consists of a sloping surface connecting a lower elevation to a higher elevation. An inclined plane is one of six types of simple machines, and it is one of the oldest and most basic. In fact, two other simple machines, the wedge and the screw, are variations of the inclined plane.
A ramp like the one in the Figure below is another example of an inclined plane. Inclined planes make it easier to move objects to a higher elevation. The sloping surface of the inclined plane supports part of the weight of the object as it moves up the slope. As a result, it takes less force to move the object uphill. The trade-off is that the object must be moved over a greater distance than if it were moved straight up to the higher elevation.
Mechanical Advantage Of An Inclined Plane
The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the factor by which it multiplies the force applied to the machine. It is the ratio of output force (the force put out by the machined) to input force (the force put into the machine). For an inclined plane, less force is put into moving an object up the slope than if the object were lifted straight up, so the mechanical advantage is greater than 1. The more gradual the slope of the inclined plane, the less input force is needed and the greater the mechanical advantage.
Q: Which inclined plane pictured in the Figure below has a greater mechanical advantage?
A: The inclined plane on the right has a more gradual slope, so it has a greater mechanical advantage. Less force is needed to move objects up the gentler slope, yet the objects attain the same elevation as they would if more force were used to push them up the steeper slope.
- An inclined plane is a simple machine that consists of a sloping surface connecting a lower elevation to a higher elevation. It is used to move objects more easily to the higher elevation.
- Less force is needed to move an object uphill with an inclined plane, but the force must be applied over a greater distance.
- The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is always greater than 1, because the machine puts out more force than the user puts into it.
- What is an inclined plane?
- How does an inclined plane make work easier? How does it change the force that is applied to the inclined plane?
- Why is the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane greater than 1?

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) represent an untapped source of capital that could help address the US's current infrastructure funding gap, and its crumbling infrastructure.
The massive — and pressing — need to shore up US infrastructure is undeniable. A dearth of investment in recent years has exacerbated the imperative to act now. In response, some 25 states have enacted legislation to enable private-sector participation in infrastructure projects. These public-private partnerships (PPPs), already commonplace in many parts of the world, combine the best of public-sector governance with the most valuable of private-sector efficiencies. And US investors are beginning to show an increasing appetite for PPPs because infrastructure investments provide relative stability.

Governor's Weekly Radio Address: Talk With Walker
Hi, this is Scott Walker.
As we continue our work on the next state budget, I've been meeting with people throughout the state about what is important to you, and how to reach our goals.
At these events we've held in places including La Crosse, Green Bay and Madison, I laid out my top priorities – creating jobs, developing our workforce, investing infrastructure, transforming education and reforming government.
The input we have received so far has been great. People offered input and suggestions, voiced concerns and asked questions on topics ranging from health care to education.
What I've heard so far is that people want a government that operates on common sense. You want lower taxes and less waste. You want clean air and water, and reasonable regulations for business.
You told me you want an unemployment system that helps people move on and move up.
We talked about the need for more good-paying jobs, and I heard support for investment options for businesses and environmentally sound mining.
You told me you want an education system that allows you to get credit for the skills and the knowledge that you have. We talked about ways to promote manufacturing to the younger generation.
This is a great start. We have more Talk With Walker events planned and I look forward to gathering more information as lay out the financial plan to move Wisconsin forward.
The state partnered with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association to produce and distribute brief radio address once a week. Audio files and a written transcript of this radio address can be accessed on http://www.wi-broadcasters.org and http://walker.wi.gov/Weekly-Radio-Addresses.

The function part of it seems good and obvious. As for the taste, it tastes very similar to hot chocolate powder. I use it in milk to make milk chocolate. Occasionally I add it to my hot chocolate. It doesn't taste very good with just water, hot or cold. I do not have a shaker cup so it doesn't always completely blend but still it blends fairly well. Very satisfied with it and will purchase a second one soon, probably try another flavor.

Creme Lures Spoiler Swimbait 2"
The Creme Spoiler Swimbaits from Creme Lures are the essence of simple effectiveness. Featuring a sharp hook molded into a lead head with a soft plastic body molded around the whole hook/head unit, this creates a simple, easy to use bait, and the soft plastic makes the tail kick actively, which will attract fish, and get bit. These baits are deadly for all kinds of gamefish, both freshwater and saltwater, and are heavy enough to cast a long way and swim deep. The Creme Spoiler Swimbaits are priced quite reasonably, and are tough enough stay together fish after fish. With the hook situated on top of the head, you are also less likely to hang them up on the bottom, which means you can really dredge the deep structure looking for lunkers. However you choose to fish the Creme Spoiler Swimbiats, their realistic looks and swimming action will get bit.

Report from the Field:
Community Policing in the Academy and Beyond
A decade ago, the Somerset County Police Academy, now located at the Raritan Valley Community College, developed a recruit program in which community policing was the underlying foundation. The academyĺs director, Dr. Richard Celeste, a former law enforcement officer, recognized that policing of today ôis about interacting with the public, not shooting guns.ö As a result, he designed a police recruit program that reflects this approach. What makes the Somerset County Police Academy stand apart from the 20 other police academies in the state is the promotion of partnerships and problem solving, both inside and outside the classroom.
In the classroom, police recruits learn the fundamentals of community policing and get a unique perspective from parole recruits who train with them for various blocks of instruction. Somerset is the sole venue in New Jersey for the basic training of State Parole Officers. This is because the New Jersey State Parole Board liked what it saw in the challenging Basic Training Program in Somerset County. In addition, by training police and parole recruits, partnerships between the two disciplines are strengthened and cross jurisdictional contacts established. Like police officers, parole officers need strong communication skills. By learning the core components of community policing, parole officers are able to strengthen their interpersonal skills which is critical to their daily interactions with offenders. And, later, when the parole and police officers are in the field, both benefit from having developed trusting relationships in the Academy.
Highlighting that community policing is not just a classroom experience, the centerpiece of the 6-month program is a Capstone Project. This project requires the police and parole recruits to work with members of the community to identify a problem or community concern. Senior citizens, educators, community members, business leaders, and representatives of the faith community are invited to the academy to participate in the project. Community members, referred to as ôcommunity facilitatorsö are recommended by their local police chiefs and agency heads,and then paired with recruits based on either common interests or jurisdictions. These community facilitators work with recruits as they implement the SARA process (Scanning, Analysis, Response and Assessment) to identify and develop responses to actual community problems.
Recruits receive basic community policing training at the onset of the academy so they can dedicate the remainder of their time to their Capstone Project. Part of the project involves recruits writing a detailed analysis of the identified issue which often results in a 25ľ40 page paper. Along the way, monthly progress reports are submitted to Dr. Celeste as implementation occurs. Many Capstone Projects lead to the development of handbooks, curriculum, and/or strategic plans that recruits can take with them when they embark on their new careers. Past classes have implemented Capstone Projects on issues such as Compstat, Proactive Community Corrections: Do the Numbers Add Up?; Integrations of Parolees and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services; Community Connections; Parole Revocation Analysis; Minority Recruitment; and a Death Notification Handbook.
At the end of the academy, each Capstone team gives an oral presentation, thus enhancing their communication skills while sharing with the class how they addressed their community problem. Since the program was established, approximately 800 recruits have successfully completed a Capstone Project and received their community policing certification.
During the Capstone process, the recruits establish strong working relationships with members of the community. And, the community feels a sense of ownership in their role in the police/parole recruit academy. They also develop a vested interest in the success of the recruits and a greater appreciation for public safety officers.
As Celeste pointed out, ôCommunication skills are criticalö in the law enforcement profession where so much time is spent interacting with the public. ôIn the 1970s, we took the biggest and strongest,ö said Celeste, who has been director of the Somerset County Police Academy for 21 years. ôNow we focus on community interaction and work with recruits to that end. It has had a tremendous impact on the community. They are extremely thrilled to have input in the development of a professional police or probation officer.ö
This Community Policing Success Story was submitted to us by the Somerset County Police Academy. If you have a community policing success story that you think others could learn from, we invite you to send us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. We donĺt need fully developed articles, just a couple of sentences that give the general flavor of your project. If it is selected, our staff will follow up with you to help turn that idea into a story the Dispatch can share.

Such a great fragrance
Just love Gold Leaf... Every time I wear the perfume someone always asks me what I am wearing. It's amazing and works so well with my chemistry. Stopped at a winery in upstate NY and the woman who waited on us was wondering who was wearing that fabulous perfume. I knew it was me and she had to find out where to purchase it. I told her what I had purchased and gave her a sample packet of hand cream I had in my handbag - she will now be a Thymes customer... Great products....

Loving fragrance
I absolutely love this fragrance, which is somehow warm and comforting. And it lasts! I gave my grandson a blanket he had liked and he asked his mother not to wash it because "it smells like grandma's perfume." In other words, it smelled like Goldleaf. That, to me, is a testimonial.

I am just thrilled to have purchased this from Thymes. I first smelled a room spray when I was visiting a store in Florida. I just couldn't get it out of my head. When I returned home, I ordered the Goldleaf Eau De Parfum. I'm so glad I went directly to the company for my purchase. I read reviews on Amazon, and people who bought it elsewhere didn't seem to get the real product. This scent is my very favorite, and I have quite a collection of perfumes. (Now, what to do with the others I just don't reach for any more!?) It's just lovely. So light, refreshing and feminine. I highly recommend this....and I've been falling for some of the samples scents I received. I might just have to try them all.

maturity needed
Please never change or discontinue. 20 stars if possible.
I saw a YouTube review of this that said it appealed to an older crowd. I am personally very weary about category writings about fragrance. Yes, a little girl may love bubble gum scents. But classic true parfum appeals to any age that wants to smell classic and like a grown woman. I absolutely love this fragrance. I did in my 30s and 20+ years later, I still do. And by the way...bubble gum scents that stand the test of time will one day be an "old lady" scent. I simply can't wrap my brain around those kind of thinkers. Dislike? That is your prerogative. I just can't stand the way girls say a scent is granny. Class is class. Always will be class. And to the perfumers who developed this golden nugget? Hats off to you. I can't think of anything like it. It's not worn by every Tom, Dick, and Harriette, which makes it more unique. I JUST BEG...PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE IT. PLEASE NEVER DISCONTINUE IT. You are able to see a tremendous following of this fragrance. The one which put Thymes on the map. That speaks volumes.

Another good shoe from New Balance
"I buy a lot of shoes from New Balance: they are comfortable and reliably fit my arches, which are on the low/flat side. I can generally order a NB size 11.5 and know that whatever I get will fit. And these shoes are no exception!They're comfortable to walk and bike in and they look good. The color scheme fits in well with my office's jeans-and-a-button-down business casual look. Not much else to say!"

Wisconsin, with its 84,000 miles of rivers and 15,000 lakes, is full of places to paddle, float, fish, or just watch and listen. The BLM has a share in all this beauty, since we manage about 500 islands in Wisconsin's rivers and lakes. These are the islands that were omitted from the original land survey back in the 1830s and 1840s. We don't manage all the islands. Many of our islands are close to other state-owned islands or private islands, and it is critical that you determine whether an island is public land before you use it.
These islands are your public lands, and many of them are perfect fishing spots, lunch sites for your next float trip, or even campsites. In years to come, we will likely post signs on some of these islands to make it easier for recreationists to know which ones are public. In the meantime, here is what we ask of you as you enjoy the islands, rivers, and lakes:
1. Practice leave-no-trace outdoor ethics, and leave the islands as you found them.2. If an island has a fire ring, use it instead of making a new one.3. Obey the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources laws and regulations when hunting or fishing.4. Volunteer as an island steward with the BLM. Contact Derek Strohl, firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information, click on the river or lake that you want to explore.

Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond has named his side for Friday evening's Aviva Premiership game against Bath.
Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond has named his side for Friday evening's Aviva Premiership game against Bath.
The Sharks are keen to get back to winning ways in the Premiership having lost their last two Premiership games to Harlequins and Leicester.
Bath have lost only one of their last four Premiership games (Northampton away 23-25) but have not won on the road since Round One, when they defeated Worcester.
In the game at the Rec in September Sharks lost 10-31.
Meanwhile, Bath have made four changes to the side that faced Harlequins two weeks ago.
All four changes come in the pack. Test props Paul James and David Wilson return to the front row following the culmination of the Six Nations championship, where they are joined by another international in hooker Rob Webber who comes back into the starting line-up.
Club captain Stuart Hooper also returns to the starting line-up, with Dominic Day moving to the bench. Hooper partners Dave Attwood, who it was announced this week had extended his contract with the club, in the second row. The abrasive pairing of Francois Louw and Carl Fearns continue on the flanks, with Ben Skirving again taking his place at the base of the scrum.
Peter Stringer, whose loan deal with Bath will now run until the end of the season, and Tom Heathcote continue to build their half-back partnership, with the backline unchanged.
Kyle Eastmond and Matt Banahan link up in the centres once more, whilst Tom Biggs and Horacio Agulla provide speed, agility and power out wide. Nick Abendanon completes the line-up at full-back.
Sale Sharks: 15 Cameron Shepherd, 14 Charlie Amesbury, 13 Johnny Leota, 12 Sammy Tuitupou, 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Nick Macleod, 9 Dwayne Peel, 8 Andy Powell, 7 David Seymour (c), 6 Daniel Braid, 5 Andrei Ostrikov, 4 James Gaskell, 3 Henry Thomas, 2 Marc Jones, 1 Al Dickinson.
Replacements: 16 Tommy Taylor, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Tony Buckley, 19 Fraser McKenzie, 20 Kearnan Myall, 21 Nathan Fowles, 22 Danny Cipriani, 23 Richie Vernon.
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Matt Banahan, 12 Kyle Eastmond, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Tom Heathcote, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Ben Skirving, 7 Carl Fearns, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 3 David Wilson, 2 Rob Webber, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Ross Batty, 17 Nathan Catt, 18 Anthony Perenise, 19 Dominic Day, 20 Mat Gilbert, 21 Michael Classens, 22 Ollie Devoto, 23 Semesa Rokoduguni.
Date: Friday 22 March

- Soak up the atmosphere on a walking tour
- Led by a local guide
- Great overview and orientation of the city
After your Colosseum tour, set off to explore the surrounding area, discovering places that once represented the financial, commercial and political center of Ancient Rome. The main relics and ruins are clustered throughout the Roman Forum, so head inside to wander seeing history set in the site's stones.
Hear fascinating tales about the power and treachery associated with the Emperors of Ancient Rome while seeing the ruins of once-important monuments like the Temple of Caesar. Stop for photos by the white marble Arch of Septimius Severus, and gaze in wonder at the colonnaded Regia – once the home of the Kings of Rome. Other highlights include the Gemonian stairs and Temple of Vespasian and Titus.
Leave the Roman Forum and walk to Capitoline Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome. Stroll around Piazza del Campidoglio, a square designed by Renaissance artist Michelangelo, and gaze down at the sights of Ancient Rome.
Continue into Rome's centro storico, to see all the sights around its historical center. Throw a coin in the impressive Trevi Fountain for luck, and then pose for photos in front of Rome Pantheon – one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the city. Stroll around Piazza Navona, a lively central square, and learn about Bernini, a much-celebrated Baroque sculptor who designed three of the square's fountains. Your Ancient Rome half-day walking tour then finishes in the center of town.

Really enjoyed this tour, Stephanie was a great guide, very informative and interesting
Reviewed by: Meaghan S, February 2017
This tour was very good! Our guide Irene was very nice, funny and informative. She did not waste time and she made sure we all had time to take photos and take in the sights. I would definitely recommend this, especially since the individual ticket line for the Colosseum is extremely long even in winter. Go in a group like this and get in faster/learn more!

Clothing & Accessories
Work, play, fashion, economic class, religious faith, even politics—all these aspects of American life and more are woven into clothing. The Museum cares for one of the nation's foremost collections of men's, women's, and children's garments and accessories—from wedding gowns and military uniforms to Halloween costumes and bathing suits.
The collections include work uniforms, academic gowns, clothing of presidents and first ladies, T-shirts bearing protest slogans, and a clean-room "bunny suit" from a manufacturer of computer microchips. Beyond garments, the collections encompass jewelry, handbags, hair dryers, dress forms, hatboxes, suitcases, salesmen's samples, and thousands of fashion prints, photographs, and original illustrations. The more than 30,000 artifacts here represent the changing appearance of Americans from the 1700s to the present day.

Buffalo Coat
- Description
- Physical Description
- Specific History
- According to legend, this coat was made from the skin of a buffalo killed by Buffalo Bill, and presented by him to Captain J. B. Irvine, Twenty-second U.S. Infantry. Irvine then presented it to Second Lieutenant Albert C. Dalton, Company A, U.S. Infantry.
- General History
- In a life that was part legend and part fantasy, William F. Cody came to embody the spirit of the West. During the Civil War, Cody served first as a Union scout in campaigns against the Kiowa and Comanche; then in 1863 he enlisted with the Seventh Kansas Cavalry, which saw action in Missouri and Tennessee. In 1867, Cody took up the trade that gave him his nickname, hunting buffalo to feed the construction crews of the Kansas Pacific Railroad. According to Buffalo Bill, he killed 4,280 head of buffalo in seventeen months.
- He is perhaps best known for Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, a theatrical extravaganza. His show dramatized some of the most picturesque elements of frontier life. It contained a buffalo hunt with real buffalos, an Indian attack with real Indians, and a grand finale that reenacted Custer's Last Stand, with some Lakota who actually fought in the battle playing a part. The show was enormously successful and traveled the world for three decades.
- From Brigadier General Albert C. Dalton, US Army (Ret'd), written 26th July 1951:
- "This coat was made from the skin of a buffalo killed by the celebrated "Buffalo Bill" (Mr. William F. Cody) at the time he was engaged in supplying buffalo meat to the workers on the Union Pacific Railway, and also to the troops of the United States Army in the same area. The skin was presented to Captain Javan B. Irvine 22nd US Infantry who was a famous Indian fighter and a close friend of Buffalo Bill during the days when he was with the army as a guide and Indian Scout. Captain Irvine presented the coat to then 2nd Lieut Albert C. Dalton 22nd Inf. who served in Captain Irvine's Company "A" 22nd Infantry from May 1889 to Aug 1891---when he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieut and assigned to the regiment for duty as an officer. Captain Irvine retired the same year and on leaving the regiment gave the coat to Lieut Dalton.
- The coat was repaired and the quilted lining put in in place of the old lining in 1910 at the Schuykill Army Factory".

Reviews for this host's other properties
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!

Investors believe there's a more aggressive future in store for the Bank of Japan, and still more weakness for the yen. This is the chief reason the Nikkei Stock Average surged 19.27% in the first quarter, making Japan by far the highest performing developed market at the moment.
With a six-month gain of 39.77%, the Nikkei is riding its longest monthly winning streak — eight — since it ended a string of nine monthly gains at the beginning of 2006.
The measure of how poorly Japan's stocks have fared for a quarter century is also evident in the numbers: The Nikkei ended the quarter down 68.14% from the record closing high reached on Dec. 29, 1989. Figures are from the Dow Jones Market Data Group.
Here in the U.S., WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) was the biggest asset gatherer in the entire ETF market, raising nearly $4 billion. iShares MSCI Japan (EWJ) was 10th biggest, pulling in about $1.4 billion, according to research firm XTF.
Currency impacts make or break a U.S. investor when it comes to foreign stocks, and Japan is no exception. The exporter-heavy WisdomTree fund aims to be currency neutral, although export stocks tend to benefit from a weak yen — as they have this year. This ETF finished the first quarter with a rise of more than 18%. The unhedged iShares fund, which benefits from yen strength, gained a smaller (but still handy) 11.5%.
The less widely owned Maxis Nikkei 225 Index ETF (NKY) rose nearly 11%. The weak yen left the CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY) down more than 8% for the period.
As this blog noted a few weeks back, net inflows into Japanese mutual funds have also enjoyed a heavy pace, reaching a nearly six-year high in February, at $10.83 billion.

Retired and Senior Volunteer Program is a nonprofit organization established to bring together senior members of the community and those in the community who can benefit from the knowledge and experience of those seniors. We have been in Emery County for three years and want to express our appreciation to all those who volunteer. RSVP members serve in a variety of organizations, agencies and institutions designated as volunteer stations. Today's older adults are busy, productive people. They use their experience to mentor children, counsel small businesses, assist at health clinics and teach seniors to use the internet. They want to keep active in ways that make a difference for those in need.
One of our most needed areas of service is with the children in the county. We have a program which allows the volunteers to go to elementary schools and aid the teachers with reading and math. Volunteers listen to the children read and help and encourage them. They also read to the children. Through Volunteers of America, we are able to supply our volunteers with books to give to the children as a reward for their efforts. By the third grade a child is at the reading level they will continue throughout their life. If a child is struggling with reading it is likely to be a struggle throughout their school years and many will just give up. If a person can give an hour or two a week, it will make a major difference in the life of a child.
