CARRBORO – Carrboro Board of Aldermen candidate, Kurt Stolka says, if elected, he will work to activate the Town's public spaces better in an effort to have an outlet to get your voice out.
"We don't have a lot of social equity in our town," Stolka says. "You go to Weaver Street and you can see that. There's only a certain kind of people that show up there. And it's a great resource for people to meet at, but we're not making it inviting to the entire community in all income levels."
WCHL's Ran Northam spoke with Stolka about his seeking election to the Board of Aldermen and how he believes he'll best serve you.
***Listen to the Interview***
Five candidates are contending for three seats on the Board of Aldermen.
Stolka says he wants to be a new voice for the Board.
"There's not a lot of representation for someone with a young family," Stolka says. "There's people who have been here a long time and young people, but I think there needs to be a better voice for people with families that don't have a lot of time to care about what might affect their kids."
Between now and Election Day, we'll be previewing each of the candidates one-on-one.

"Improving the Greenfield rail line will create construction jobs now and make permanent upgrades attracting new companies to Highland County and allowing existing ones to expand markets and ramp-up production," U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said.
In March, Brown urged the EDA to approve the Village of Greenfield's grant application. In April, EDA notified the community of deficiencies in its application and though significant improvements were made to address the deficiencies, the application was denied in July. After working with Sen. Brown's office to strengthen the application and a September meeting where representatives from Brown's office urged EDA to move forward, the application was approved.
The $2,262,787 EDA grant will allow the Village of Greenfield to move forward on structural enhancements to the line that runs from Greenfield to Midland. The improvements will provide regional manufacturers with more reliable transportation options and allow the region's industrial manufacturing cluster to grow.

Three UVM Students to Study Abroad on Gilman Scholarships
- 12-18-2012
- By Britten Elaine Chase
Three University of Vermont students have been awarded prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarships. The Gilman is a nationally competitive award given to accomplished students with financial need who wish to study abroad, and it seeks to support students as they prepare themselves to become active and engaged citizens in an increasingly globalized world.
Addie Halligan '14, an environmental studies and green design major Portland, Me., received an award. Halligan will spend the spring of studying in Copenhagen, Denmark. Achaleke Taku '14, a double economics and film studies major, received an award to study in Belgium during the spring semester. Originally from Yaounde, Cameroon, Taku came to UVM from Tuscon, Ariz. Corey Tondreau '14 was awarded a Gilman to study in Madagascar for the spring 2013 semester. Tondreau is a wildlife biology major from Rochester, N.H.
The three UVM students received a total of $16,500 in study abroad scholarship money from the Gilman awards for the fall 2012 semester. A fourth UVM student also received the award but has since had a change in study abroad plans.
The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to diversify the kinds of students who study abroad and the countries and regions where they go. The program provides awards that allow American undergraduate students who receive federal Pell Grant funding at a two-year or four-year college or university to participate in study abroad programs worldwide. Award recipients are chosen through a very competitive application process.
In 2011, the Institute for International Education ranked the University of Vermont fifth in the nation among public doctoral universities for the percentage of its undergraduate students -- 32.5 percent -- who participate in study abroad programs.
Since 2005, when the university put a centralized fellowship outreach and support program in place, 99 UVM students have won or been finalists in the country's most prestigious and competitive competitions, including the Fulbright, Rhodes, Goldwater, Marshall, Udall, Truman, Madison, Gilman and Boren Overseas scholarships.

So, a couple of weeks ago, I attended the Morris and Seneca 7-on-7 passing session held at Morris Community High School.
The headline was "A curious football first," and at the onset, I mentioned that it was "fairly certain that the two have never engaged in any football activity" before that day.
Three days later, I got an email from Sam Marshall letting me know that the Redskins and Fighting Irish had indeed met on the football field before.
"I don't know how to start this but I was reading your article about Seneca and Morris playing 7-on-7. The article stated that Seneca and Morris never played a football game against each other," he said. "Back in 1984 the freshmen played against each other at Morris and it was a good game. Morris won 8-0 scoring with 2 or 3 minutes left in the game. I don't know if you care or not just letting you know."
Well Sam, I do care. In truth, this is the kind of thing that sets me off on a fact-finding mission to flush out details.
The first thing I did in researching this column was to grab my senior yearbook. It just so happened that I graduated from MCHS in 1985, which means the 1984 football season was in there — including the freshman team. I knew that Old Man Dergo was the coach but it was pretty cool to run down the list of players on that team. Amongst those were Kevin Feeney, Jeff Reents and Eric Werden, all of whom I have stayed in touch with over the years. Details of the game are vague at best.
"I looked in my yearbook and did not see anything as far as schedule or results," Werden said. "I don't have any memory of that contest but I have to believe that if it did happen is was a J.V. or some sort of 'B' game."
As I later found out, it was a regular freshman game for Seneca and a "B" game for Morris.
Reents also could not remember details of the game, even though he was one of the Redskins' leading tacklers in the game. Instead Reents, the head football coach at Wilmington, shared his memories of playing for Old Man Dergo.
"I loved playing for Coach Dergo," Reents said. "He did a great job of getting us started in the Redskin program as freshmen. He was always very truthful with you as a player, and I enjoyed listening to all of his stories."
Feeney is the current principal at Wilmington. He shared a lot of memories about playing on that team and that year in particular.
"I don't remember a whole lot about that particular game. I can give you a little more information about that team. The freshman head coach at the time was coach Dergo (George's dad) and the assistant was Tim Kukman. Overall, we had a really good group of guys that made a four-year commitment to the Morris High School football program," Feeney said.
"Players like Jeff Reents, Rob Stapp, Wes Fleetwood, Jason Clemons, Brett Davis, Dave Bennington, John Bryant, Brent Pierce, John Evans, Jim Watson, Marty Benson, Bubba Baker, Jim Washburn, Kent Pelligrini, Mike Hansen, Brett Steele and Buddy Mitchell were leaders on that team.
"Like all coach (Dan) Darlington teams, each year we improved as a football team. Our senior year we won the conference championship going 8-1 during the regular season. The biggest victory our senior year was against heavily-favored Plainfield, who had six Division I football players on their team — led by John Ivlow. We won the game in overtime stopping Ivlow on the potential game winning 2-point conversion at the 1-yard line. That was the first time our class beat Plainfield in high school — they beat us freshman, sophomore and junior years. They were a ton.
"We lost to Providence Catholic in the first round of the playoffs (they were also 8-1). That was back in the day when teams were not seeded entering the playoffs. Providence went on to win their first state championship that year. They were led by Pete Bershich, who went on to play linebacker for Notre Dame and the Minesota Vikings.
"As a freshman group In 1984, we were all inspired by the varsity team that won the state championship that year against Benet Academy. I remember that senior group as freshman not winning a single game. I was fortunate to have two brothers playing on that team — Mike (sophomore) and Jim (senior). The 1984 season was a great experience for all of us."
Marshall said that he remembers the game quite well since it was a true David and Goliath experience for the Fighting Irish.
"I was on the Seneca freshmen team that played against Morris," Marshall said. "I remember thinking 'We're playing Morris, this will be fun. The school is so much bigger than us, can we even play against them?' I think the score shows that we did play with them. Like I said it came down to the last 2 minutes of the game before Morris scored. It was a hard fought game the whole way."
Seneca's freshman coaches that year were Doug Evans and Don Brown and that freshman team went 3-1, beating Reed-Custer, Coal City and Plano that year.
I actually pulled out the old Morris Daily Herald microfilm and researched the one and only time Morris and Seneca played a real football game on the gridiron.
'Skins top Seneca 8-0 in freshman 'B' game
Brad Coop rushed for 77 yards in the game's only touchdown as the Morris Redskins blanked Seneca on Monday.
Coop scored a touchdown on a 4-yard run midway through the fourth quarter and Kevin Feeney, who rushed for 45 yards in seven carries, ran in the extra two points.
As a team, Morris rushed for 186 yards.
Doug Bennington, the Morris quarterback in the first half, completed 4-of-7 passes for 34 yards. Jim Washburn, the second half quarterback hit 2-of-3 passes for 12 yards.
Leading Morris in tackles were: Dan Chapman, Tim Clubb, Kevin Feeney and Jeff Reents. Each had three solo tackles and three assists.
"Our defense was great," said Morris coach Gehrig Dergo. "We stopped them on the (Morris) 5, 6 and 8-yard lines.
Dergo said Seneca is a good team.

Hamilton's Beautiful Royal Botanical Gardens | News
One might not think of Hamilton Ontario as a very green city, but in that you would be wrong. The city is lush with natural surprises, and the Royal Botanical Gardens are a prime example of the wealth of habitat surrounding the city. Begun in the 1930's as a Great Depression project, the RBG is now a National Historic Site and the largest botanical garden in Canada. It is also home to a diversity of plant and animal life unique to the region,including a number of endangered species. Nick Kondrat is the RBG's Manager Of Communications." Aside from being a botanical garden,we're 2700 acres of land , 2300 of which are natural lands that include over 30 kilometers of nature trails, bird watchers and wildlife watchers, it's really a paradise for them."
The hub of the Gardens is the RBG Center, a labyrinth of green knowledge that offers a number of attractions, from flourishing indoor gardens to public programs and exhibits.Kondrat explains.
" The public programs that we have year round, be they dinosaur programs, art programs,nature lover programs, there's a number of courses that people can enroll in, we're really known for that in this region."
Spreading like a vine from the RBG Center, the gardens extend to the surrounding countryside, with a number of other sanctuaries growing around the center. There are over 1100 different species of plants flourishing in the gardens, some found nowhere else in Canada ! The sanctuaries are a key link in preserving the habitat along Lake Ontario and beyond, and extend the RBG's education from the classroom to the field.
" You can leave from RBG Center," says Kondrat " We have an Arboretum and nature center that many trails come off of from there, you can spend a whole day on our trails, seeing so many different types of wildlife tracks, deer,birds,there's just no end of things to see."
Education and the RBG go hand in hand, the knowledge imparted ensuring the future of the center and the lush land around it. The center has been educating generations for over 60 years ! " It's part of our mandate to not only embrace our environment and cultivate our gardens, we want to teach as well, and we have generations of families that have been coming to RBG, and using our education programs." Kondrat says.
The Royal Botanical Gardens are just one natural attraction in a city that's full of emerald gifts for those willing to explore. It's a well kept secret only a short trip from Western New York. Kondrat encourages WNY'ers to make that trip.
" A lot of people aren't familiar with the Hamilton-Burlington region, would think as they drive across the QE and look to their left, it's just an industrial region, but really, there's more waterfalls in this region than you'll see anywhere else,
as I mentioned we're part of the Niagara Escarpment, we've got so many natural lands around here, we're a bird watcher's paradise, a wildlife watcher's paradise,a hiker's paradise, there's so many different things to learn and do and see in this region."

So, apparently, WoTC/Hasbro has surrendered the RPG license for Star Wars to Fantasy Flight Games. The new RPG is now in an open Beta test and copies were sent out to game stores this past week. Looks like FFG is sold out online, so the best bet is to call around your local game stores and see if they have any.
I've been playing and GM'ing Star Wars since back in '87 with WEG. I have a lot of fond memories of the WEG system, and D20/Saga was kind of a letdown for me. So, I have mixed feelings about this new game. However, after reading through the copy I managed to snag, some of my fears are alieviated.
-Multi-dice system similar to Warhammer Fantasy, with symbols rather than numbers. The beta book came with a sticker sheet to convert various dice and there's a handy table that's clearly marked if you want to use conventional dice before the specialized ones come out. There's also an iOS/Android dice roller app for $5 in the stores.
-There's going to be three 'core' books, Edge of the Empire being the first and focusing on the fringe characters of Star Wars, set in the classic Rebellion era. The next book will focus on Rebellion characters and the third book will focus on Jedi and the Force.
-There's a limited amount of Force ability detailed for character creation, appropriate for the Rebellion era. There's no system for making full Jedi or Jedi in training yet. Think of it as the start of 'Star Wars Galaxies', where players have to muddle through to discover and develop Force abilities; there's no training or mentors yet.
-Talent Tree system where you spend XP to get Talents related to your Career that can boost your dice rolls or remove hindrances to your rolls.
-'Destiny Pool' where the players roll at the start of each session to determine how many and what kind of Force Points are in the pool. Players use Light-side points, GM uses Dark Side Points. When a point is used, it flips Sides, so after a player uses a Light Side point, it becomes a GM-usable Dark-Side point and vice-versa. An interesting system for building towards a heroic climax by enduring the bad stuff the GM tosses at you.
-An 'Obligation' system where all characters start with some kind of Obligation, be it a debt to a Crime Lord, a Wookie Life Debt, or the responsibility of providing support for your family. The more Obligation the players take on as a group, the greater the chance that someone's Obligation will come up in a session, causing stress for all the PC's.
-PC groups start off with a ship, but with very little in the way of extra funds unless you want to take on more Obligation. PC's start with 500 credits and a good blaster pistol costs 500 by itself.
So, initial opinion: promising. I approve of starting off with the Classic Rebellion Era setting and severely limiting Jedi and Force powers right off the bat. Similar to the WEG approach, Force use and Jedi are supposed to be rare and something special, and the new game really makes you work at being a Force User, rather than a simple level system. The focus of the game is obviously in the new 'narrative' style of game design philosophy, creating mechanics to bring drama and role-playing to the forefront rather than pure dice rolling. The layout of the book is pretty straightforward and easy to follow, with only a few hiccups (it took me a while to find out where starting cash for PC's is). A good mix of PC alien species (Bothan, Gand, Rodian, Trandoshan, Twi'lek, and Wookie), along with the option to play a Droid PC. The dice mechanics are fairly straightforward, with attribute and skill dice providing successes and advantages and opposing dice creating canceling failures and hindrances.
All in all, I'm looking forward to what FFG has in store and revitalizing my old Star Wars games.

Several bullet-ridden homes in Midway, Florida are about to get a much-needed facelift. Two Tallahassee investors have purchased an entire block of homes with hopes of turning eyesores into safe havens for residents.
For the last two years Debra Murray and her family have been living in a two-bedroom house. She says the walls in the kitchen have been falling apart, and to make matters worse, she's using a bucket to trap water from underneath the sink.
"I told my husband when income tax time come we're getting out of here. I can't afford to pay no 300 dollars here living in something I never own, I just can't do it," says Debra Murray, a substandard housing resident.
Jimmi Ellis and his partner, Donna Decker, have now purchased the eight homes and eight-bedroom apartment complex in "High Bluff Village" with hopes of transforming these badly damaged homes into safe havens for residents.
"It's a lot of work here, it's almost overwhelming and what we need to do is go into the house that are abandoned and start to restore and renovate them," says new homeowner Donna Decker.
"Cheap rent doesn't mean an unfit place to live. These people work hard for their money when they come home they should have a home they should be proud off," says Jimmi Ellis, also a new homeowner.
The majority of these homes at are vacant, and folks have been using the property to discard empty bottles forming a sea of trash in the area. These new owners hope to transform this misfit into an ideal place for residents like Murray and her family, similar to Soul Garden in Tallahassee.
Owners hope to begin repairs on some of the homes within the next week.

I think it would be a good move. He could play CB at times but probably mostly play safety. Would really give us a ton of versatility in the defensive backfield. He would allow ET to play some nickel cb in some situations and allow Kam to play some linebacker in other nickel/dime situations.

Reviews forCandy Corn Quesadillas
My Review
Average Rating
"Tasty, but really heavy. We ate them as a dinner. Would definitely just eat one slice as an appetizer next time."
"a good recipe, especially when you have a quesadilla maker!! The chicken mixture tasted great!"
"This recipe was DEILICIOUS!!! I love how festive it is for Halloween and the whole family loved them! I could eat this everyday. The only thing I did different was cook the shredded cheese in with the chicken filled."
"Absolutely delicious! The sweetness from the barbecue sauce and corn was a nice balance to the spiciness of the salsa and smokiness of the cumin. This would be fun to serve for October football viewing! Pair it with a microbrew and you have a winner! Forget the 7 Layer Bean Dip!"
"I just received my Sept./Oct. 2013 issue of TOH & was so excited to see this recipe! What a cute idea!"
"I plan on making this at Thanksgiving along with some little eatable sweet pumpkins. I give this 5 stars for being so creative, I'll tell you how it comes out and what my family thinks of them at Thanksgiving. Thanks!"

Kamp Kiwanis is truly the place every summer where a child can be a child.
Kamp Kiwanis is truly the place every summer where a child can be a child.
Whether it's arts and crafts, canoeing, hiking, swimming or sitting around a campfire, youths will have the opportunity to experience outdoor camping activities for a week. With that new experience comes a fresh face as the director this year — Courtney Walker, who served as a counselor at the camp for the past five years. A new set of counselors also are working this year.
"It's going to be a new experience," Walker said. "I like it more than a counselor. I'm not just responsible for one cabin of kids. I'm now doing the behind-the-scenes work. I have more of a say. Everything is on me, which makes it harder, too."
Walker, 21, said when Jane Seuberling stepped down as director last year, she wanted someone who would be able to keep the traditions going. With Walker entering her last year at East Carolina University in the fall, the camp is helping her prepare for her science education degree because she wants to be a teacher. The 2010 North Davidson High School graduate looks forward to the camp each year.
"It's going good. Everything has been good," Walker said. "I like being around kids and helping them have a good time. These kids look forward to it all year long. They get real excited."
Between last week, this week and next week, more than 150 youths from all parts of Davidson County are scheduled to attend the camp. Campers, who have been selected by the Davidson County Department of Social Services, arrive Sunday and leave Saturday mornings.
The campers stay in cabins and participate in activities such as bowling, making tie-dyed T-shirts, singing around a campfire, telling scary stories and showing off their talent in a showcase. They even had visits from the police, fire and the emergency medical services departments. The students' engagements center around team building and responsibility.
"It's fun and (there are ) lots of things to do," said Southwood Elementary School rising fifth-grader Christian Russell. "Everybody has at least three activities to do. It's challenging every day."
Lorencia Bush, a rising sixth-grader at Tyro Middle School, has attended Kamp Kiwanis for the past three years. This will be her last year being eligible to attend.
"I like to swim and eat the food," she said. "I like camping out with the counselors. It's fun meeting new people and being with some of your old friends."
The Lexington Kiwanis Club has sponsored the camp since 1928. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for youths aged 7 to 11 years old to experience outdoor camping, interaction with Kiwanis members and a variety of other activities. The club uses proceeds from the Davidson County Agricultural Fair in September to provide the camp at no charge to children.
"It's good meeting new friends and being with old friends," said Brooke Hemric, a rising sixth-grader at Lexington Middle School. "It's exciting. I'm looking forward to the scary stories and talent show."

The saga of the Montauk Beach House is headed to the East Hampton Town Zoning Board of Appeals following a determination by the town's head building inspector, Tom Prieato, that it has expanded certain uses without approval. In a letter sent on Friday to one of the resort's owners, Chris Jones, Mr. Prieato said the questioned uses should be shut down immediately. The Beach House has appealed.
The Beach House, which renovated the old Ronjo Motel on Montauk's South Elmwood Street, opened in late June amid much fanfare. It has 33 rooms, couches and lounges in the pool area and on an upper deck, a Jacuzzi, a women's clothing shop, and a bar. It is Mr. Prieato's opinion that the renovation plans did not indicate a shop and that the bar was intended for "guest services" not the general public.
"The code is gray, at best," Mr. Jones said this week. "It puts owners of a property in a position where there is no right or wrong, only shades of gray."
Mr. Prieato's letter also noted the creation of the retail shop in what had been a shed without approval. "These are serious issues, and you are directed to cease the operation of the same, since it is in violation of the [town] code and to avoid further enforcement proceedings," the letter states.
"The code is far from perfect and this will give us a chance to clarify," Richard A. Hammer of Biondo and Hammer, an attorney for the Beach House, said yesterday.
"Has the bar exceeded accessory use and, if so, we need to know what are the ground rules, what does the code mean?"
Mr. Hammer said that he submitted a Freedom of Information Law request to the town fire marshal's office in an attempt to find out what that office's inspections have shown operating there over the past 40 years.
"What constitutes an accessory use?" Mr. Hammer asked. If an accessory bar is limited to the hotel's customers, and a friend were on the premises, "can the friend sit down for a drink?"
"We can't operate a resort without guest amenities. You can't run a resort like that," Mr. Jones said yesterday.
Patrick Gunn, an attorney who is head of public safety for the town, said yesterday that he supports Mr. Prieato's determination. The town attorney's office will take the next few days to assess any future actions, he said.
Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson congratulated the Beach House's owners at its opening festivities, saying, "This baby has been delivered today." The town board's decision to sell a portion of a public alley that runs through the property to the Beach House for $35,000 without first having the land appraised had stirred political controversy. Mr. Wilkinson and others have hailed the resort for helping the Montauk economy.
On Tuesday, Mr. Jones said, "We have partnerships with the surf shop, the bike shop, the Bake Shop, the T-shirt guys, all the local businesses. It's sad that people aren't talking about that."

With over 200 posts tagged "Obama," I can trace how I reacted to him at various points in time beginning with his speech at the Democratic convention in July 2004:
Now here is a speaker I can stand to listen to. He's modulating his voice and he seems to have the speech memorized, so he doesn't have that awful teleprompter stare. He places some emphasis on personal responsibility. Parents need to turn off the television!...There are many references to hope. Ha ha. That's funny now. Quite banal: Why didn't increased exposure to the same banalities become horrifyingly insipid? Strangely, that first post seems to be something I could have written last Tuesday night. But there is nevertheless a trajectory. My second assessment of Barack Obama — over a year later — is very negative, close to a pledge never to vote for him, written the day the Senate confirmed John Roberts:
Obama does a great job delivering the speech, even though the words of the speech are quite banal. There are many references to hope. The speech is blessedly short. Cheers, waving sign
Great! Roberts is confirmed by a margin of 78 to 22. As to those 22 Democrats who voted no, they have openly embraced an ideological view of the Court from which they can never credibly step back. For them, appointing Supreme Court Justices is a processes of trying to lock outcomes in place, and we shouldn't believe them if in the future they try to say otherwise....Obama (and Clinton) are on the list, and a few days later I get into a big debate with Amba over whether Obama's reasons for voting no were someone special and different from all the other politicos. Amba was "impressed [with] his civility and collegiality towards those with opposing views" and "surprised at the intensity of [my] venom." I was immune to the Obaman rhetoric:
I hope no one on that list is running for President.
To me, it doesn't matter what the written justifications his lawyers wrote out are. Those are not the actual reasons. As writing, it amounts to the same blather I heard throughout the hearings....But I can't go on like this today. As I said, it's a weekend project.
I'm sure he has excellent lawyers and speechwriters working with him, setting up his career. They take the tone that it is advantageous to take. The bottom line for me is what it is for all of the no-voting Senators. There was no decent reason to oppose [Roberts]....
I'm a fan of no politician. I'm sure plenty of them are decent enough as they ply their trade, and I'm willing to believe Obama is decent enough, but he's an ambitious man with a highly skilled staff.

*soothes Viper*
"actwally some people like my theories on wimmin in olden days"
They (a select few) think I should be in a mansion with servants and doing something more productive like being a kept woman who eats bon-bons and complains about the help.
I will get a stick and hit them in the face if you like?
I friggin *adore* you. How could anyone *not*? They'd have to be stoopid or complete mentalists!
I'm just shitty about replying, especially in this thread. I like to vent my angst here and then walk away from it for a bit. Sort of like a stray dog taking a poo.
Dude, I am right there with you. Hey, maybe you and I are emotional/creative twin buddies at the moment!
(Or at least partly rubbish. EVERYONE can't hate me! )
I was talking with another "very busy person" friend, and my conclusion is that it was down to stress. You push yourself too hard, something's gotta give, and I think with me (and probably you) it comes out as emotional weirdness and paranoia.
(Which, incidentally is NOT helping the bloke sitch. He loves me! He hates me! He wants my babymaker! He's taken out a contract on my life!)
There. Better?
Have a kip. If you can.
Think of how much more awesomeness there would be in the world if we had the time we need and didn't have to haul our awesome arses into jobs every day.
What?! You feeling no better for that?!
I'm crumbling away into nothing.
Ugh, sounds exactly the way I feel. Only instead of doing stuff about it I sit around eating chocolate mousse and listening to Leonard Cohen.
If I'm thinking of the right person, Leonard Cohen is REALLY not going to help. Choco mousse will, tho. When rubbed all over Indiana Jones. See, you put the mousse on him to ward off the Ancient Evil of Choctasia-

True! And anyway, they must get that all the time. It's just one of the things you have to deal with in May-December relationships. And if she was older than she looked, she was probably complimented. So no harm, no foul!
Obviously my constantly listening to sad music doesn't help a great deal. Must try and listen to more songs of niceness of a morning.
But then I realised it was not in fact the man, merely a magazine cover.
Maybe in the 65 to 78 age range.

I've been working on a new report for about five days, but for a dozen reasons, the last of which was a better football game than I expected, I haven't had the time to wrap it up. Hope to have it out tomorrow morning.
It's already 2,400 words, and may be just half done.
Course, Texas will probably make a trade today, and I'll have to toss the report into the circular bin. I'm not expecting a trade, but then again I probably wouldn't have predicted that Paul Harvey would be the mad men and women's star last night.
So plan on four or five thousand words in the next day or two, bundled up in one email that will take too long to read and may not resonate with you any more than the stupid Coca-Cola desert commercials, but then again I'm spending about $11 million less than Coke to throw it out there.
In the meantime, with a hearty scram to another lousy 100-day football intermission, here's a thousand words from the great Louis DeLuca of the Dallas Morning News:
Tick tock.

Man shot by Ohio police is charged with stabbing 4Man shot by police is charged with stabbing 4 at Ohio office building; attack called random
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ' A man accused of stabbing four people at a downtown office building before he was shot on the street by a police officer has been charged with four counts of felonious assault, authorities said Thursday.
John W. Mallett was armed with three knives when he entered a downtown office building that housed a career college and other offices Wednesday afternoon and stabbed four men, the first an employee of Miami-Jacobs Career College, police said. Other people intervened and took away a knife the man was using but didn't realize he had others, police said.
Columbus police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner said the attack appeared to be random. The 37-year-old Mallett has no criminal record in Columbus.
An aunt in Columbus reported to police that she thought the suspect was Mallett, Weiner said. She told police he was mentally ill and had been off his medications.
"We have no link as to why he went there," Weiner said.
Mallett lived in Nashville for 10 years until a month ago when he came to Columbis, police said.
Two of the victims worked for the college, one was a student and another worked for the attorney general's office, Weiner said.
Student John M. Desir was in stable condition Thursday, while school employee Donte Dunnagan was in critical condition.
Weiner said attorney Jeff Maloon was also in critical condition, though a message sent to employees at the attorney general's office said Maloon was alert and talking to his family.
Gerald Dowe Jr., also an employee at the school, was treated for minor injuries and released from the hospital. Weiner said Dowe returned to the building to help officers with their investigation.
A knife was recovered inside the school, and two knives were found near the attacker outside after he had been shot. Police wouldn't describe the knives except to say they were bigger than pocket knives.
One officer used a stun gun on the attacker at around the time another officer shot him, Weiner said.
The attacker had a knife in each hand when he went at officers, said Jim Gilbert, president of the local Fraternal Order of Police.
Multiple shots were fired at the man by the officer who was closest to him, Gilbert said. The officer, who has been on the police force for 15 years, "did what she had to do," Gilbert said.
Officer Deborah S. Ayers was on her downtown patrol assignment of a year and a half when she got the call and arrived first, followed by numerous other officers, Weiner said.
Columbus officers responded within a minute of 911 calls Wednesday to a "very chaotic scene" with people screaming, Gilbert said.
"Many citizens' lives were saved today because of the quick actions, quick response of the Columbus police officers that responded," he said.
Ayers was taken to a hospital with a minor knee injury suffered as she was backing away when the attacker approached her, Weiner said.
Jason Jackson, who works at Gordon's Gourmet in the building lobby, said he heard that someone had been stabbed, so he ran out of the building. When he went back to see what was happening, he saw the attacker outside.
"He had a knife, and the police had just pulled up, and they're saying, 'Sir, you need to stop. You need to just put the knife down.' He wouldn't," said Jackson, of Reynoldsburg. "They drew guns. 'Sir, please put the knife down.' And he kind of lunged at them, so they shot him."
College spokesman Chuck Vella said everyone must sign in before entering the admissions office. He said security personnel are at every campus of the college, which has five other locations around Ohio.
The for-profit trade school offers classes in massage therapy, security and investigation, criminal justice and court reporting. It was closed Thursday.
The college is owned by Delta Career Education Corp., based in Virginia Beach, Va. A receptionist at the company on Wednesday said no one wanted to talk about the stabbings.
The company's website said it has 37 campuses and 16,000 students nationwide.

The PlayStation 3 Slim already had an ability penalty of -35 Geekiness because of its lack of the "Install Other OS" option, and now the regular PlayStation 3 will follow in its footsteps. A PS3 firmware update, scheduled to land April 1, will disable this option on regular PS3s as well. This, dear readers, is what we in the business call a "testicle move", especially since only a few weeks ago, Sony bold-facedly claimed the feature would not be removed.

Firmware version is no where near number stated.
Not a PS3 owner myself, but I thought firmware was currently at 3.something...
Its a good way of finding out how peaved people would be before you do it. Ie testing the waters.
That's an interesting experiment... and sadly I'm almost believing you could be correct. It's close enough to April 1 that they could pull this off.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" by the Numbers
Aug 07, 2007
The US publisher for the Harry Potter series, Scholastic, announced that more than 11.5 million copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh book in J. K. Rowling's series, have been sold in the during its first ten days of release. The book, which sold more than 8.3 million copies during the first 24 hours of its release, also increased its total US print run to 14 million, up from the original 12 million copies Scholastic was slated to print prior to the publication. From the press release:
Scholastic was printing copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows right up to the final hours prior to release and, with pre-orders and reservations climbing at an incredible pace, the Company was able to print enough additional copies to be in position for re-supply following the launch. The additional copies brought the total number of the U.S. edition in print for the seventh book to 14 million.
Currently, Harry Potter titles and the deluxe edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hold eight spots on the USA Today bestseller list. In the U.S. alone, there are currently 140 million copies of the seven Harry Potter books in print.
To date, over 350 million copies of the seven books in the Harry Potter series have been sold worldwide.
On a related note, online retailer Amazon.com revealed the final numbers for pre-orders of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

About two million Americans suffer from multiple sclerosis -- a disease that currently has no cure. Doctors are now testing a drug that will add an effective new form of therapy to what is currently available.
Art Coscuna is a big football fan. Three years ago, he was forced to put his playing dreams on the shelf.
"I was just walking, and all of a sudden, my right foot, and up my right side, went numb. I just stopped and said, 'This isn't right.' I turned to go back to my car and I collapsed," said Coscuna.
Coscuna has MS, a disease in which the immune system attacks nerves -- affecting muscles, coordination and balance. Medications are limited in controlling the disease. Art's neurologist, Marco Rizzo, M.D., Ph.D., enrolled him in a study on an experimental drug called antegren.
"The hypothesis is that this antibody keeps the immune system from entering the spinal cord and brain and wreaking destruction," said Dr. Rizzo, of Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn.
On an MRI, the brain of a healthy person appears uniformly gray. The MRI of a person with MS has white spots -- lesions from inflammation and scarring that result in nerve damage.
"Those patients on the drug antegren had significant improvement in MRI scans compared to those patients who received placebo," Dr. Rizzo said.
That's good news for Coscuna.
"They said, 'It will take time. It will come back. The nerves got to find a new route to run, but it's not something that's going happen overnight,'" Coscuna said.
Antegren is part of a new class of drugs being tested for treating both multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease -- both are diseases thought to be the result of a malfunctioning immune system.

Firefighter for a dayPosted: Updated:
GLENDALE -- Firefighters battle fires and save lives every day. But few people realize how much training and effort goes into being a firefighter.
Well, Good Morning Arizona's Ryan O'Donnell got to suit up for a first-hand look Friday morning, as he and other members of the media and Glendale City Council got to become "firefighters for a day" with the Glendale Fire Department.
Participants were able to take part in a live house fire experience, learn about burn towers and ladder trucks, and even how to drive a fire truck in monsoon conditions.
"Sometimes you have to go 40 to 50 miles an hour to go to a call," says Glendale firefighter Michael Young. "And sometimes during monsoon season when it rains, it gets slick and changes the conditions for a driver."
Ryan suited up in a full uniform, and one of his first training tasks was to go into the 'search and rescue simulator'.
"When you get on scene, we have to search for victims; that's our number one priority is life safety," Young says. "This simulates conditions that we see. It's much different than a movie. It's completely blacked out in there. Lots of smoke."
Ryan even attached a camera to his helmet and gave viewers a birds-eye view of what he saw inside the simulator, and what firefighters experience in a real fire.
Later, Ryan got behind the wheel of a fire truck on an emergency driver course, learning all the same techniques and maneuvers that firefighters must learn.
"We teach them to be comfortable with the rig that they're in ," says Captain Richard Franklin of the Glendale Fire Department. "That way they're prepared to take on any emergency situation."

Arsenal have been handed a transfer blow in their pursuit of Spanish striker Fernando Llorente.
The Athletic Bilbao star is out of contract at the end of the season, and has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent months. Manchester City and Chelsea have also been tracking the player, according to reports.
However, Metro cite Italian reports when claiming that Juventus have made a £3 million offer to bring the player to Serie 'A', and that negotiations could be concluded by the weekend.
The paper goes on to claim that the 27-year-old's desire to play in Italy has proved to be a decisive factor, and that Bilbao are ready to cash in rather than lose the player for nothing when the current La Liga campaign concludes.
It's another transfer blow for Gunners chief Arsene Wenger, with targets Demba Ba, David Villa and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar all unavailable to the north London outfit.
However, the Arsenal boss has today admitted an interest in Napoli star Edinson Cavani, whilst Atletico Madrid star Adrian Lopez has also been linked.
The Gunners have two weeks left to complete their transfer business in January, whilst securing the future of Theo Walcott is another issue on the club's agenda.

Codemasters teased a while back that it was returning to Race Driver: Grid as part of its renewed focus on racing games, and now we have a bigger tease. Codies has released a teensy little trailer showing the Grid emblem with a big fat "2," hinting to expect a reveal on Wednesday, August 8.
Careful scrutiny of the teaser trailer leads us to believe that cars will return in this sequel to the car-driving game. Grid was released back in 2008 and not followed up since, but mention of its name still sparks happy memories for many amaxophiles.

Press release 178/2013
26 August 2013
A responsible and human rights-based foreign policy also serves Finland's interests, Minister for International Development Heidi Hautala stressed on 26 August when addressing the Finnish ambassadors convened in Helsinki.
"We get bad news weekly about persecution of those defending human rights, and civil society is under increasing pressure in many countries. This news does not come from some reality of its own but from the same countries with whom we are engaged in wide-ranging foreign policy. For this reason, human rights and foreign policy cannot be kept separate," she stated.
The Minister pointed out that development policy and development cooperation are making great strides in implementing the human rights perspective in practice. Groups in the weakest position receive the greatest emphasis in this work. Hautala stressed, however, that global problems are not solved by development policy alone.
"It is not sustainable if development cooperation must be used to maintain the health care system in a developing country while at the same time enterprises minimise their payment of taxes in the country in question, or if the country's own agricultural production is not profitable owing to tax-subsidised EU agricultural exports."
Hautala said that these issues play a key role in planning the post-2015 global development goals. It is difficult to find agreement if developing countries believe that industrialised countries are only pursuing their own interests. According to the Minister, Finland would be well placed to act as a bridge builder between the North and the South.
"We must also be prepared to change all of the practices that cause and maintain poverty and inequality. At the same time, we have to look in the mirror: Earth cannot sustain our current production and consumption practices."
Finland's objective already at present is to free developing countries from their dependency on aid. For example, Finland supports the development of good governance for natural resources so that the benefits of natural resources are distributed fairly and to the advantage of the country's own citizens – and do not flow out of the country. This work is also done in so-called fragile states suffering from conflicts or recovering from them, where the role of Finland's development cooperation is growing.
In her speech, Minister Hautala also stressed the importance of transparency. She noted that the authorities and civil society in Finland have a long history of good cooperation; this also holds for the Foreign Ministry. Hautala considers it important that the policy of transparency is continued and developed further.
"In the spirit of Open Aid, we will soon launch a section on the Foreign Ministry's website where everyone can see, more easily than before, where and how development funds are spent," the Minister stated.

If my math is correct, I believe we have about 16 more wonderful December days until Christmas. I also know that the true spirit of Christmas is not about getting and giving gifts; however, it sure is cool any way you look at it.
It is time we take a look at what this outdoorsman wants for this Christmas ... and maybe, just maybe, I'll touch on something you may want also. Then you can cleverly make sure that that special someone sees this article and voila, Christmas morning nirvana. Just like that, man.
Right off the bat, the first thing this ol' boy would just love to see is a Go Pro Camera. These things are the cat's meow. They are very small cameras and they mount on nearly anything. Just imagine having one of these bad boys mounted to your bow when you draw on your next monster buck. Or, maybe on the front of your dirtbike on your next trail ride. Who knows? All I know is these things are awesome.They come in high-definition or standard, and are very easy to upload and edit. You can check 'em out by going to gopro.com on the web and watching the video.
Whattaya mean you haven't seen these ... you been living under a rock or something? Come on, man. By the way, these cameras run about 200 bucks – so they are affordable, as cameras go.
Next up on CatMatt's old Christmas wish list are the fine custom catfish rods from Pole-Kat. Now, these things are just plain bad to the bone. Just imagine surprising the special fisherman or -woman in your life on X-mas morning with a rod specially built for them. Then imagine being able to do that for only 75 smackers.
You can slide you dentures back in, I ain't lying. Just imagine a 40-year-old kid running circles around the tree when they open up this finely tuned piece of fishing weaponry. Loaded with stainless steel guides, spined by a professional, with their name on it and wrapped with their favorite color scheme. Are you kiddin' me? This is a guaranteed home run.
Now, you can get your hands on one of these bad boys by contacting me at email@example.com. I will put you in touch with the man himself, William (a.k.a. Pole-Kat), a disabled veteran who spends all his time building these masterpieces. It is a definite win-win proposition.
How about a massage up at Small Town Massage, Hair and Care in Prophets-town? After a long year of climbing trees and settin' hook, a massage is just the perfect thing. For more information, contact them at 815-537-9090.
You may want to buy that special someone a gun (while we are still allowed to have them). Head to Rigler's in Rock Falls or Rock River Outfitters in Oregon. Either one of these fine dealers can get you exactly what you need ... that is, if you trust your special someone enough to buy them a firearm
(just sayin'). You can reach Rigler's at 815-625-3319 and Rock River Outfitters at 815-732-9999.
Last, but not least, how about absolutely rockin' Christmas morning when that guy or girl wakes up to a gift certificate with yours truly to go fishing for cats this upcoming season right here on the mighty Rock? Yes, I know, it is a shameless plug; fortunately, I am OK with that.
As for the great outdoors, it looks like we may have some snow in the forecast, so get outside and build a snowman or escape to the peace of the white woods or rub some snow in each other's faces or ... hey, just do something.
Go Catfish!

Truck movements from Boral's hard rock quarry at Dunmore could jump 50 per cent under a proposal being considered.
The company is seeking to modify its existing development consent to increase the size of the quarry by two hectares and also increase the amount of product hauled from the quarry by road.
The change would allow material approved for road haulage to rise from 1 million tonnes to 1.5 million tonnes a year.
At present there are 110 truckloads of material taken out every day. The company's environmental assessment (EA) said the extra 500,000 tonnes would mean an extra 55 truckloads daily.
During peak periods the change would generate an extra 10 vehicle movements an hour - six heading north and four heading south.
"These additional traffic movements would generate less than a 0.2 per cent increase in traffic on the Princes Highway northbound and a 0.15 per cent increase southbound for either total daily or peak hour traffic," the EA stated.
The EA concluded that the extra 55 truckloads a day would "have minimal or negligible impact on the existing road network".
The company's EA said that rail transport "is currently not feasible due to terminal and rail pathway capacity constraints".
While final approval for the modification proposal rests with the NSW Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Shellharbour Mayor Marianne Saliba said residents would get a chance to voice any objections.
"If there are any objections, council would then have to put up some kind of report to the minister on what the issues are," Cr Saliba said.
"If there was serious concerns, council would not be recommending that it be approved."
Cr Saliba said the extra 55 truck movements was a concern for council.
"It would certainly be a concern to me and a concern to the councillors as well," she said.
"Traffic movement would certainly be an issue.
"I've always got concerns about truck movements because I want to see the state government put in that extension of the F6 south, bypassing Albion Park Rail, because that's a terrible bottleneck during peak times."
Cr Saliba added that it was a positive sign that Boral was looking to expand the quarry, because it provided job security for employees as well as economic benefits to the region.
"We would have to weigh up all of the relevant concerns of the community against the benefits of having that business continue operating in the Shellharbour area," she said.

LEWISTON, Maine (courtesy Bates College sports information)-- The Brandeis men's tennis team, playing its second-straight match without its usual number one player, junior captain Steven Milo (Woodbury, N.Y./Syosset) suffered a 9-0 loss to host and 15th-ranked Bates College today.
The Bobcats (5-4) and the Judges (2-6) are ranked eighth and 10th, respectively, in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's most recent Northeast Region rankings, which came out March 15.
Bates doubles teams have gone undefeated for five straight matches.

Oceanographer Bidigare Named ARCS Scientist of the Year
UH Manoa professor honored for excellence in research and teachingUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Public Information Officer
Kate Wester, (808) 956-9095
Along the way, Bidigare has been involved in numerous discoveries
- that ammonia secreted by zooplankton sustain phytoplankton
- that a whole deep-sea animal community could live off toxic hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide because bacteria in their gills converted methane gas to nutritional organic compounds
- that ocean plants use their pigments to create their own sunscreen by blocking the detrimental effects of ultraviolet radiation
- that satellite measurements of plant pigments can be used to gauge the productivity of ocean eddies and fronts and monitor the health of fisheries.
"We measure the concentration and kinds of algae that feed the fisheries that feed us," he says. "It's the things you can't see that are the most important."
Bidigare has been remarkably productive since earning his PhD from Texas A&M in 1981. He has spent 600 days on 20 different research ships and a submarine, conducted research from the Atlantic to the Pacific and Gulf of Maine to Gulf of Mexico, averaged eight publications in peer-reviewed journals per year and secured $4 million in extramural research funding over the past decade. He is a member of professional organizations related to geophysics, oceanography and phycology, and reviews grants for federal funding agencies and manuscripts for scientific journals.
It was this research record combined with the opportunities he creates for a new generation of scientists that earned him 2003 Scientist of the Year honors from the Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Honolulu Chapter.
"As an organization that raises money for graduate students in the sciences, we were impressed that Dr. Bidigare has supervised five undergraduate space grant fellows and served on the committees for 31 masters and doctoral students, three of them ARCS scholars," comments Helena Sena, president of the Honolulu chapter.
Bidigare is the 21st UH researcher to receive the ARCS Scientist of the Year award and the sixth member of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology faculty so honored.

Facebook is adding a fitness tracking app to the company's store of acquired companies.
Moves, a self-desribed "all-day activity diary for smartphones", announced yesterday that Facebook had agreed to acquire the company and app.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
In an announcement on Moves' website, the company said it would be working with Facebook on "building and improving their products and services with a shared mission of supporting simple, efficient tools for more than a billion people,."
For the time being, Moves will continue to operate as a standalone app, and the company said it has no plans to change that or "commingle data" with Facebook.
The buy comes as Facebook continues to strengthen its position as a mobile company. On Wednesday, Facebook report first quarter earnings that counted 1 billion active mobile users. Meanwhile, mobile accounted for 59 percent of Facebook's ad sales.

Both left Mexico early in their development, both had troubled stays with north London clubs and both suffered in the media from the stigma of questions about whether they had the mental toughness and maturity to make it in the Premier League.
This summer, the trend continued when the duo moved on to La Liga - Vela to Real Sociedad and Dos Santos to Mallorca.
The transfers offered opportunities for the 2005 Under-17 World Cup winners to put their club careers back on the rails. The Mexican forwards would be bigger fish in smaller ponds compared to at Arsenal and Tottenham and would live up to the hype that Mexico fans have continued to believe.
Or so went the theory.
Since then the parallels have started to dry up. The disparity in fortunes this season between Dos Santos and Vela has been clear.
On Saturday in Mallorca's 1-0 home loss to Athletic Bilbao, coach Joaquin Caparros hauled his club's major summer signing off after 72 minutes with his side already down. Dos Santos had been anonymous on the left wing, almost a bystander in a home game that represented the kind of occasion that the Mexican had been brought in to turn around and to produce moments of magic to propel Mallorca up from last season's eighth place finish to the European places.
The worst of it is that Dos Santos seems to be lacking confidence. He missed a penalty in the Copa del Rey midweek against Sevilla and his withdrawal Saturday can only do further damage.
Injury problems have hampered Dos Santos, but he has still managed to play 10 games, failing to find the net in each and only really making the desired impact in his debut.
Dos Santos' last league goal came back in May 2011, a worrying statistic considering the player isn't far off his 24th birthday and is shouldering a large burden of expectation for the national team.
Straight after Mallorca's 14th consecutive winless game on Saturday, Vela's Real Sociedad kicked off. In contrast with Mallorca, Sociedad was attempting to extend its six-game unbeaten run in a tough away trip to Granada's Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.
The game was far from a classic and Vela, playing mostly on the right wing, was not able to reproduce his fine form he has kept up most this season. But when the time came for Real Sociedad coach Philippe Montanier to make attacking changes with the score deadlocked at 0-0, it was Vela he left on.
That's because, unlike Dos Santos, Vela has lived up to his billing as his team's attacking focus, scoring almost exactly a goal every two games for the Basque side this season and providing many a headache for La Liga defenses.
"I can still give more to this team and I'm going to work until I do just that," Vela told the press in San Sebastian last week.
Such words indicate a new-found sense of maturity and responsibility in Vela, who has been accused previously of lacking those very qualities.
In essence, Vela seems to have found a home, whereas Dos Santos is still not looking comfortable at his new club and the coach that brought him, Caparros, could well soon be sacked.
The irony in all of this is that when World Cup qualifying starts up again next year, Dos Santos is an indisputable starter for El Tri under Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre, while Vela has no guarantee of even being in the squad.
The underlying tension between De la Torre and Vela has been well publicized, but needs to be reconciled because Vela is no longer a prospect, but a key player about to enter what should be the peak years of his career.
On the other hand, Dos Santos needs yet more time to get out of a club rut that is becoming increasingly disconcerting.

Digging deep for a cause
Few people really enjoy fundraising.
It's understandable. Who in these times feels comfortable asking total strangers, no less their friends and family members, to hand over money to a cause they know little about and doesn't directly affect them?
Yet it happens all the time; whether to help someone in a personal fight against cancer, to preserve open spaces or the bay, to guard the Constitution, help veterans, feed the hungry, build housing for the homeless and aid children everywhere. And that's just a smattering of the thousands of causes seeking support.
All sorts of activities have become means of raising funds. There are golf tournaments, sailing regattas, dinners, 5K walks and runs, raffles, dances, read-a-thons [especially popular with elementary school students], swims, like that from Newport to Jamestown, and long distance bike-a-thons.
It all adds up to a lot of money.
According to a report based on tax returns by the Giving USA Foundation and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, American individuals, corporations and foundations contributed $298.42 billion in 2011, a 4 percent increase from the $286.91 billion they gave the year before.
What inspires such philanthropy?
We think part of that answer can be found right here.
On Saturday, about 150 people raised close to $25,000 at the first ever Rhode Island Polar Dip at Oakland Beach. The event, put together in a few short weeks, was spearheaded by Christina and Becky Hendriques and their parents John and Carole.
The Hendriques didn't go hat-in-hand from one friend to the next. In fact, the emphasis was not on handing over money but what those funds could do. The family has personally seen what Camp Sunshine means to families caring for a seriously ill child. At the camp's Maine location, all immediate family members of a child up to the age of 18 enjoy a week of activities and board and lodging at no cost. The Hendriques' daughters were first to volunteer at the camp and participate in the Polar Dips that raise about $90,000 annually. Their parents soon found themselves committed to the cause. Wanting to help and knowing your efforts can make a difference are surely motivators, and that feeling resonated with others who also wanted to be members of the team effort.
Saturday's dip offered another perspective on the reasons for giving.
The Collins family also teamed up to raise funds. They know from personal experience what Camp Sunshine can do. Rhode Island media extensively covered Zachary Collins' battle against neuroblastoma. Zachary, his parents and his siblings went to Camp Sunshine and, as the camp's name implies, that visit energized and renewed family bonds and their outlook. Zachary did not win his fight with this brain cancer but that camp visit and their memories of it remain a bright episode in a long and dark ordeal.
For the Collins, the dip was a chance to give back.
And then there's the matter of jumping into the water at the coldest time of year: How does that fit in? Isn't it enough to open one's wallet without the freezing? Obviously, many of those who pledged and let others jump in for them thought so. Those who took the dip could be considered daring, hardy or crazy. Maybe it takes all of those to take the plunge.
But for the committed, it's not just money; it's about demonstrating your commitment.

WERNERSVILLE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania have released the name of a man shot and killed by police officers after a gun battle along train tracks.
State police in Berks County on Sunday identified the man as 20-year-old Jonathan Rutkowski of Wernersville.
Police responded shortly before 8 p.m. Saturday to a report of a man walking with two guns stuck in his pockets.
They say he refused to drop the guns and fled to the Norfolk Southern tracks, where he aimed both guns at officers, who fired.
Police say he took cover behind a large metal signal control box and aimed at them again.
After more gunfire he went down, but approaching officers said he was still pointing one of the guns at him, so they fired again, killing him.

(MCT) GRANITE CITY, Ill. — Up to 10 workers were injured Thursday morning in an apparent gas explosion at the American Steel plant in Granite City, authorities said.
Granite City Assistant Fire Chief Jim Snelson said gas ignited near a grinding machine shortly before 8 a.m. CST Thursday.
Three of the 10 workers were in critical condition Thursday after being flown by medical helicopters to St. Louis-area hospitals, according to hospital staff. At least one of them was burned and others may have suffered inhalation burns.
Seven of the workers were being treated for smoke inhalation at Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City. A hospital spokeswoman said their conditions ranged from "stable to guarded." Three of the workers were released Thursday.
Mercy Hospital St. Louis in Creve Coeur was treating two of the patients, said Bethany Pope, a Mercy spokeswoman. Both were in critical condition.
American Steel Foundries is a division of Amsted Rail Co.
No one from the company was available for comment Thursday. Scott Hassall, business manager for Electrical Workers Local 309 that represents some plant employees, said the blast was in an area where the plant produces bolsters, or heavy central frames for railroad car wheel trucks.
Hassall said he could not talk about the incident but could only explain what the line produces where it happened. He said the plant casts the bolsters and then finishes the cooled product with grinding machines. He said the explosion occurred where the grinding, or finishing, takes place.
He said his members were in the plant talking with investigators, which is why he didn't yet want to discuss the accident.
The workers at the plant also are represented by the United Steel Workers, Machinists, and Pattern Makers unions.
Karl Armstrong, assistant area director for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration office in Fairview Heights, Ill., said an inspector has been dispatched to the plant to begin an investigation.
In August 2005, two American Steel workers were burned after molten steel spilled from a tub inside the plant. The day of the incident, a company spokesman described the workers' burns as "superficial."
Staff writers Tim O'Neil and Joel Currier contributed to this report.

COLLEGE STATION, May 7, 2013 – Texas A&M University will receive collegiate licensing's top award for the "one brand" approach that propelled the university to among the nation's hottest college brands during the past year.
The International Collegiate Licensing Association (ICLA) will present Texas A&M with its 2013 Synergy Award Program of the Year at its annual meeting in Orlando, Fla., in June.
"We received the most nominations in the history of the award, and Texas A&M was unanimously selected as the program of the year," said Martin Ludwig, president-elect of ICLA. "I am very pleased Texas A&M was selected for the 2013 Synergy Award, our association's highest honor. As the licensing industry continues to evolve and our association continues to grow, this award has become much more competitive."
The Texas A&M brand hit the national stage in 2012 with entry into the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and with quarterback Johnny Manziel becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.
Texas A&M's Business Development team of Rosa Rodriguez, Shane Hinckley and Kyle Pope has won the top Collegiate Licensing Award for 2013
"Aligning with the nation's top athletic conference gave us the opportunity to tell the Texas A&M story in a unified manner to new audiences nationwide," said Shane Hinckley, interim vice president for marketing and communications as well as assistant vice president of business development. "It's an honor for Texas A&M to be recognized by the country's premier collegiate licensing organization."
Hinckley led the integration of the university's business development efforts with the institution's marketing and communications teams to provide a cohesive brand for the entire university, not just athletics.
Under Hinckley's leadership, the university's licensing revenues increased by 27 percent in 2012 (and by 144 percent since 2008), propelling Texas A&M to 15th nationally in ICLA rankings, based on more than $60 million in sales of Texas A&M-branded items. In addition, the university expanded its brand into new areas, including clothing and accessories for Xbox avatars and branded elements in the popular Facebook game Cityville and flowers from FTD.
"Shane and his team helped new audiences learn about and respect what Texas A&M stands for," said Jason Cook, the university's senior associate athletic director, who until recently served as Texas A&M's vice president for marketing and communications.
Hinckley oversees new and existing business opportunities associated with Texas A&M, with responsibilities that include the on-campus bookstore, the state license plate program, its beverage relationships with Pepsi and sideline apparel with Adidas, and numerous other business and marketing opportunities across all divisions, colleges and units of Texas A&M. The university works with about 650 vendors.
Hinckley, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Utah State, came to Texas A&M in 2008 and has more than 20 years of retail and business experience.
Other business development staff are Rosa Rodriguez, who oversees all artwork submissions regarding use of various Texas A&M trademarks, and Kyle Pope, collegiate licensing and program manager for The Texas A&M University System, which includes 10 other universities, seven state agencies and a health science center.
"I cannot say enough good things about the work Kyle and Rosa have done," Hinckley adds. "Rosa has reviewed more than 12,000 artwork images the past year that have been submitted to our office, and Kyle has been instrumental in enforcement efforts protecting our trademarks as well as managing projects to help promote the brand. This award would not be possible without their very hard work this past year."

Hudson County Sheriff Frank Schillari announces re-election bid
Hudson County Sheriff Frank X. Schillari has announced that he will run for re-election as a candidate in the Democratic Primary this June. Schillari is seeking his second term as sheriff.
He was the first sheriff in the history of Hudson County to introduce a 24/7 patrol program that provides round-the-clock protection, while at the same time reducing overtime, by reassigning desk duty officers to the streets.
Two years ago, Schillari waged a bitter battle to be sheriff when the county's Democratic establishment withdrew its support from then-Sheriff Juan Perez and decided to back Schillari instead. Perez responded by switching political parties and registering as a Republican. Each man won his party primary in June and then faced each other in the general election in November 2010.
Hudson County Democratic Chairman and Bayonne Mayor Mark Smith said he is happy to support the sheriff's re-election bid. "Sheriff Schillari has worked hard and proven his worth as a concerned and compassionate leader who cares about our citizens' safety," Smith said.
Schillari has also been endorsed by Hudson County Executive Thomas DeGise and North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco, who also serves as a state senator.
A career law enforcement officer, Schillari is a U.S. Navy veteran and retired Secaucus Police Sergeant. Before being elected sheriff he served as an undersheriff for 13 years. Schillari, a native of Jersey City, currently lives with his wife in Secaucus.
April 1 is the filing deadline for candidates who plan to run in the political party primaries in June.

Former superstar and current WWE commentator John 'JBL' Layfield has said that he hopes CM Punk will 'come back' to the ring.
35-year-old Punk - real name Phillip Jack Brooks - has traditionally been one of the biggest names in the professional wrestling business in recent years, featuring in a number of the WWE's biggest storylines, showcases and pay-per-view events.
However, he has not been seen by fans on-screen since January, with his enthusiastic hometown supporters in Chicago bitterly disappointed when he did not appear at Allstate Arena on Raw this past Monday night.
Despite the mystery surrounding Punk's apparent sabbatical, JBL evidently wishes the best for his former opponent and hopes to see him come back whilst insisting that he does not have any facts to share on the situation.
"I don't know any facts on CM Punk - I had the honor of wrestling Punk in his first main events in WWE, including a cage match in Madison Square Garden," he wrote yesterday on his blog.
"I have always enjoyed Punk and being around him, I certainly wish him the best-hope he comes back, but whatever happens my best to him."
With Wrestlemania - the WWE's biggest annual event - now just a matter of weeks away in New Orleans, it appears that the situation with Punk is no closer to being resolved.
Would you like to see Punk return or do you think he is done for good? Let us know below, WWE fans...
