Sen. Dennis Parrett, D-Elizabethtown, said the Senate committees he will be serving on for the next two years after assignments this week will enable him to advocate for the 10th District and let him be a stronger voice for his constituency.
He especially is pleased, he said, to be named to the Economic Development, Tourism and Labor Committee and re-appointed to the Tobacco Settlement Agreement Fund Oversight Committee.
"As a member of the Economic Development, Tourism and Labor Committee, I will be helping set policy that promotes the standard of living and economic health for not just my district, but the entire commonwealth," said Parrett, who represents Hardin County and a portion of Jefferson County. "I appreciate the responsibility we as committee members must accept as we try to move our state forward in this down-turned economy.
"We continue to be known for our superior horses and our beautiful bluegrass as well as many other attributes – many of which vary from region to region," Parrett said, and expressed an interest in expanding tourism opportunities statewide.
His background in agriculture will be an asset on the tobacco oversight committee, he said. That committee oversees matters including diversification of farms and grant money available to farmers.
Along with these two assignments, Parrett has been reappointed to the Agriculture; Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection; and Banking and Insurance committees.
"My assignments are right in line for my district and for me personally," Parrett said. "I have a deep appreciation for the military and all those men and women who serve or have served our country. I also have a great deal of respect for farmers and the agriculture community."
The legislature convened Tuesday for a brief organizational session, which concludes Friday. Legislators return to Frankfort on Feb. 5 to continue the 2013 legislative session.

G1000 is a project to revitalize and "advise" Belgium's current representative democratic system by complementing it with deliberative democracy. It is a response to the increasing ineffectiveness of the representative democracy system, as evidenced in part by the 2010-11 parliamentary crisis.
The purpose of the 2008 National Performing Arts Convention in Denver, Colorado was to include the inter-disciplinary arts community in a 21st-Century Town Meeting in an effort to construct a common agenda, create a multi-disciplinary infrastructure, and aid artists in advocacy. These goals would ultimately lead to those in the community being able to communicate the importance of the performing arts in the United States of America and having definitive methods for strengthening the future of the performing arts within the nation.

Gay rights advocates in New Zealand have called for a homosexual All Blacks player to openly declare his sexuality.
Broadcaster Steve Gray told the Sunday Star-Times that he was aware there had been several gay All Blacks and that it was time for one to stand up and be counted.
The openly-gay TV presenter even said he had slept with one player, although none from the team have ever come out in the country where rugby is a national passion.
"Everyone always asks what his name was, but I can't remember. I don't know who the All Blacks are. But at the time I checked with a friend and it was totally true," he said.
His comments follow the appearance of English football star Matt Jarvis on the cover of British gay magazine Attitude.
Jarvis, who is married and straight, said it was time gay footballers felt comfortable enough to step forward and that they would receive support from within the football community.
Tony Simpson, chairman of the gay rights group Rainbow Wellington, said he believed that if a homosexual All Black came out he was sure the majority of New Zealanders would back him.
"If an All Black was to come out I think most people would just say 'well, what does that have to do with the way he plays rugby?'.
"Some people will be hostile - some have never reconciled themselves to decriminalisation of homosexuality and try to debate it every time it comes up - but by and large most people have gotten over it," he said.
Former All Blacks centre Craig Innes joined the call for a gay All Black to step forward, saying it would be good for the young gay community to have a rugby role model to look up to.
"I'd admire someone who had the guts to do something like that," he said.
"It would obviously take a very brave person to do it, but if you look at Ian Roberts, who is probably the toughest, meanest Rugby League player to ever play the game, he came out a few years ago and people hardly batted an eyelid."
Roberts, an Australian Rugby League international, came out in 1995.
Gilbert has released a new line of rugby cleats. The Gilbert Virtuo 8S is part of the exciting new product. Check it out.
The entire All Blacks apparel line has been updated for 2013/14. Check out the New Zealand All Blacks polo.

It's Decision Day for Funding of Attleboro Projects
The City Council will vote on borrowing money to build an animal shelter, improve the high school's athletic complex and upgrade a municipal water treatment facility's computer system.
The residents spoke last week, and tonight it will be the Attleboro City Council's opportunity to weigh in on Mayor Kevin Dumas' proposal for the city to borrow $6.2 million to fund three projects, including the building of an animal shelter and improvements to Attleboro High School's athletic complex.
More than 100 people came to the council chambers last week for the public hearing on the loan orders. Nearly all the speakers were in favor of the mayor's proposals, with the one exception being a man who was uneasy about the $1.16 million price tag for the animal shelter.
Several councilors have spoken in favor of the animal shelter and high school projects. Recent behind-the-scenes talk could mean there is at least some concern among councilors about the price of the animal shelter. There has been no buzz about opposition to the high school project for which the city would be acquiring a $3.55 million loan.
The computer system upgrade for the water treatment facility has not been a hot topic of conversation. Although it is a less-sexy project than the others, there is a large amount of money involved. The mayor wants the city to borrow $1.523 million to fund the upgrade.
The meeting will take place at City Hall (77 Park St.) at 7 p.m.

First off, I do support both the Animal Shelter and the new high school complex. I was actually thinking the same thing regarding your comment that there has been such as large buzz around the animal shelter and going through the plans and wanting to remove rooms that they feel are not needed. Why isn't there the same scrutiny for the sports complex project that is about 3 times as much? I have even seen some people comment on the animal shelter, but when asked about their feelings about the sports complex they do not answer. Again, I support both projects, I just do not understand why the same people have not looked at the plans and asked the same questions about the school project. If people's reasonsing is wanting to look where we can save money, I think we should also be looking at the other projects that are up for vote also.
Roxanne Houghton
12:29 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
These two projects have been out there for the public to see for almost a year now. I have to wonder where the people with their suggestions and opposition have been. It is the day of the vote and people want to change plans - change the price - renovate old factories and on and on and on....where have you been? Did you speak at the public hearing? Did you attend the meeting at the High School regarding the track? Did you attend the building commission meetings? It would appear that you didnt. Did you put up a fuss when the money for the plans and designs were presented to the city? Why not? The vote is tonite and hopefully all this ridiculous last minute animosity will be over. The mayor has done his due diligence - everything suggested has been explored. In the future, I would hope that people pay attention to what is going on with city projects - before 4 days before they are scheduled to be voted on.
Just sayin'
2:24 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
In fairness Roxanne - how well was everything publicized compared to the stories written at the 11th hour? Lots of folks are working multiple part time jobs to make ends meet and rely on those who are in leadership positions to make the correct ethical decisions they were elected to make. It does not help to berate people who have questions and dissuade them from being part of the discussion. Why such anger towards a commenter who starts off the comment with "First off, I do support both the Animal Shelter and the new high school complex"??? If you are so passionate why not put this in a POSITIVE light instead of insulting those who want to be more educated about the situation... even if it is too late to make any changes? Why not bring others into the light instead of the back handed insults?

To whom it may concern: Unemployment in Attleboro & Seekonk has gone up. Federal taxes have just gone up and Deval Patrick has promised that state taxes will rise as well. The cost of all these projects will also go up as another year has passed. When your property taxes go up next year, I will say I told you so!
Roxanne Houghton
2:43 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Both projects were highy publisized. Multiple front page stories in our local newspaper - a years worth of public meetings with the Building Commission - multiple committee meeting discussions at our televised city council meetings - the mayor spoke to this before the televised council meetings - multiple stories with pictures, money estimates, plans etc, on Patch. Many writings by the shelter volunteers in both Patch and the Sun. These projects were televised when the capital improvements were presented to the city. There was recently a big meeting - public - at the high school, regarding the track. Mayor Dumas announced his intention to persue these projects at his last inauguration. What else could have been done? Last Tuesday we had a very high profile public hearing. Nobody spoke against anything. To say that there was not enough exposure is confusing. My post above was not directed at anyone specifically. All of us in favor of these projects have tried to keep it positive. Maybe you have not read the ugly - nasty - false "stuff" that has been hurled at us. i will be happy when this vote is over.

Over a millions dollars for a dog park? Can't it be done decently for less?
4:00 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
It's over a million for the animal shelter. The dog park is funded by donations.
Roberta Collins
4:41 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
The dog park has been completed and it was done entirely with donations and volunteers to put up the fencing. Not one penny came from the city or taxes.

Thank you for this correction: it was my error.
A million bucks is still one massive pile of money, though.
Attleboro Resident
4:32 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
So, where is everyone's stance on the Attleboro High School complex project? In my original post I mentioned that only the dog park is being talked about as too much of a cost. Whats the feeling on the $3.5 million dollar price tag? Again I am for this project, I just wanted to gauge people's feelings if this could be cut down a little bit.
Roberta Collins
6:16 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Attleboro Resident - I think that you have confused the dog park with the animal shelter. We are two entirely different organizations. I think that they have been talking about the cost of the animal shelter.
George Glass
5:53 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Are you sure you want to hear my opinion on the HIGH SCHOOL project? Alrighty....
I completely support the complex. IT is necessary for so many reasons that revolve around.. HUMANS!!!! Thousands of people (every Attleboro High student, children, the elderly, recreational sports teams, and most importantly Special Olympics) will will benefit from this project. Not to mention finally having handicap accessibility! Imagine that, my son will be on that field in one capacity or another in a few years and my disabled mother might actually be able to come and watch her grandson play! Unlike the shelter project that will cater to a handful of cats and dog (though very precious). The statement "Attleboro should be ashamed of the animal shelter" should be muted in comparison to the loud voices of the public who dare to dream of having a school complex that we can be proud of and show off to other schools that come to compete. The Students of Attleboro need to have something to be proud of. The schools are good on the inside, it is time for it to show on the outside!
Rob Geddes
12:02 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
I could be wrong, but I think the reason there has not been a lot of discussion about making cuts to the athletic complex is because there is not a lot there that can be cut.
With the shelter, cuts can be made around things like space and amenities like you mentioned. (Whether or not those cuts should be made is a different story). The proposed athletic complex consists of the track, the field, and the bleachers. The track and the field have specific dimensions that need to be met, so there is no way to make cuts to either one. All that's left then are the bleachers and I would guess that the size reduction of the bleachers would have to be significant in order to make a worthwhile difference in the price tag.
The only part of the athletic complex that would have any real cost cutting opportunity similar to what is being discussed for the animal schelter would be the concession stand, but that is being privately funded.
Attleboro Resident
6:28 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Yeah, sorry I was reading other posts that said that and wrote that on accident. I definitely meant the Animal Shelter!

There is $800,000. of debt service being retired this year. That's a loan of more than $10,000,000. These three projects if bonded for 12 years will total approximately less than $700,000. in debt service at current rates. However, rates may change within the time it takes to go to bond. Still, it's predicted that it will not be as high as the debt being retired. No increase in taxes due to THESE three projects. Taxes will always go up within the prop 2 1/2 % allowed.
Jerry Chase
9:35 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2013
There remains the obligation on the part of residents to exert pressure on the "pols" to spend LESS money than before, NOT the same or more.

A new study says losing weight may help.
Researchers found that losing weight can lower episodes by almost half.
The results were not as good for women who didn't lose much weight.
Those who only lost an average of three pounds reduced their incontinence episodes by 28 percent.
Meanwhile, your hormone levels could help doctors when it comes to determining a woman's risk for postpartum depression.
Researchers studied 100 pregnant women; each having blood drawn throughout her pregnancy.
They found when levels of a specific hormone, called PCRH, were high, the woman had a significantly increased risk for postpartum depression.
Researchers say more studies need to be done, but they hope it will become a standard screening test one day.

The area of Manhattan between Houston&Canal, and Bowery&6th Ave. While not very large, Soho has become the definition of what most people think of when they think of Manhattan. Countless upscale/overpriced stores, delis where a sandwich costs more than a steak, and coffee houses far and wide. The number one tourist attraction despite its conplete lack of historical and personal value. While it keeps Manhattans economy booming is exactly what will keep the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Has succeeded in destroying the City from the inside. Jeff: Hey man, we're all goin' out Soho to get some 12 dollar sandwiches and then we'll hit up Starbucks for some 7 dollar coffee.

While they may not be a household name – yet – Solavei is the only cell phone company in the US offering completely unlimited text, 4G data (yes – 4G), and talk for only $49 a month. I know, it sounds almost too good to be true, but believe me, when you're talking about Solavei anything is possible. Backed by industry giant T-Mobile, not only is this an incredibly favorable economic solution, but you're also going to get world class reliability and efficiency when sending and receiving calls and texts or surfing the web. Tough to argue with this as the premier cell phone solution as is – but it gets even better. How would you feel if I told you that you would also be able to earn money just from using and recommending your cell phone service.

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011Sinclair Lewis wrote this political satire of American exceptionalism in the early 1930s, when one in four Americans were out of work and the complacent assumptions he'd ridiculed in Babbitt were rasped away by real poverty. What most Americans assumed couldn't happen on the economic front had happened, and even more had happened in Germany, Italy and Russia, with the rise of nationalist totalitarian regimes. So Lewis aimed his satire at the smug assumption of the American politician and parochial patriot that a despotic, militant, nationalist tyrant and, consequently, organized atrocity, were foreign, or only possible elsewhere.

Christine Minshall Haynes, 92, passed away quietly on Monday, Jan. 9, 2012, surrounded by all of her children, at her home in Boca Grande.
This was as it should be. Recently asked her preference regarding her obituary, she said that she wanted it to state, simply, "She be gone..." This is classic Chris. However, dissuaded from this course by friends and family, who were convinced that a mere three words would not suffice:

As we celebrate Women's History month, we should pay homage to a resolute group of women who deserve recognition during Sunshine Week, another March event. Sunshine Week (March 16-22) calls attention to journalists who courageously brought to light information that governmental and other authorities prefer to keep hidden. Their notable ranks include women who have insisted for nearly two centuries on their right to cover the nation's capital in spite of prejudice against their gender.
I found it pretty interesting that out of all the things Jim Bakker said when he came back to Fort Mill for his Restoration Celebration preaching series, none of it included an apology.
Over the last few weeks, as the deadline for the congressionally mandated budget cuts known as the "sequester" came and went, we got a taste of how difficult cutting federal spending actually turns out to be. The news is disconcerting: thousands fewer food safety inspections, some 70,000 fewer kids in early education programs, people with mental illness losing access to treatment, civilian employees of the military furloughed, ships and aircraft going without maintenance. It's a long and dispiriting list.
The recent experience with the sequester in Washington, D.C., revealed in many ways what is wrong with Washington. But it also contains a silver lining I hope bodes well for the future.
Budget sequestration is as modest a step toward cutting Leviathan as one can imagine. Further progress will be difficult as long as people believe that slashing the size of government conflicts with reviving the economy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The state legislative session is moving along, and the Republican Caucus is making great progress on the bills important to you.
Crocodile tears are flowing again for low-income people. In his State of the Union address, President Obama proposed raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 an hour. A debate is shaping up between those who support the proposal and those who favor keeping the wage where it is today. But there are good grounds – for the sake of the poor – to repeal the minimum wage altogether.
My generation likes to poke fun at the latest group of youngsters for growing up in the Participation Award Era. It's a time when many points are giving for trying and losing as they are for winning.
Valentine's Day was taken over long ago by cards and flowers, candy and dinners accompanied by gifts. It is now a cash-cow holiday for merchandisers. In addition, for many, it has become a day to honor women and girls in a fresh way. V-Day, introduced to the world by Eve Ensler in 1998, demands an end to violence against women and girls.
A few weeks ago, the survey firm Public Policy Polling made headlines when it released a poll comparing Congress's standing to a variety of unloved things. Respondents did prefer Congress to the ebola virus, but otherwise the news was grim: Americans, the survey suggested, have a lower opinion of Congress than of head lice, Genghis Khan, used-car salesmen and root canals.

Brockport, N.Y. -- Alexandra Kogut was killed in her dorm room at The College at Brockport last weekend. This week's cover of the student newspaper, The Stylus, features a timeline of her relationship with her accused killer 21-year-old Clayton Whittemore.
"We spent a lot of time deciding what we wanted to put on the cover," said Cassie Negley, editor in chief of The Stylus.
The paper hit newsstands on Wednesday - that same day an estimated 400 to 500 copies were stolen.
"While they should be voicing their opinions and they can say whatever they want, they shouldn't be taking our newspapers," said Negley. "That is illegal. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't mean you can take it away."
Student government vice president Brian Witmer is one of the students who found the cover (click for full cover) distasteful.
"I would have preferred a celebration of her life," said Witmer.
It was the use of social media that junior Nick Wershing thought needed a closer look.
"You can't keep social media out of it, but you have to edit and monitor what you are actually putting into it and the way you're saying it," said Wershing.
Not so, says Thomas Proietti, scholar in media at St. John Fisher College.
"I think the photographs the images and the fact that they integrated twitter feeds and what not, I think it's beautiful," said Proietti. "I think it's done elegantly, but again I understand those who are not part of the newspaper who criticize."
Not all students saw this week's cover as sensational.
"It's a very creative cover, to see the difference," said Freshman Brianna Corbitt.
"I thought it was very interesting," said Junior Matt Hull. "It gave details to what was going on it wasn't upsetting it was just their way of expressing what happened."
The Stylus has filed a complaint with the campus police regarding the missing papers. They will continue keep the current issue on newsstands.

So, been painting up my MoW STs finally and it's got me thinking. There are many comments here on the boards that MoW need a few perks to push them into the realm of truly useful. Sure, they can fill their place...but only in a limited subset of casters' lists.
My question is, if Man-O-War units got a super-solo similar to Kovnik Joe for the Winterguard, what would you like to see him do? Here's my idea just to get things rolling:
Kovnik Piotr Yarik: 3pts
Hand Cannon: RNG 12, ROF 1, AOE -, POW 12
Glaive: POW 5, P+S 14
- Reach
Master Tactician [Man-O-War Shocktrooper]: While this model is in play friendly Man-O-War Shocktrooper units gain Set Defense (A model in this model's front arc suffers -2 on charge, slam, and impact attack rolls against this model).
Master Tactician [Man-O-War Demolition Corps]: While this model is in play friendly Man-O-War Demolition Corps units gain Relentless Charge (Models with Relentless Charge gain Pathfinder during activations they charge).
Master Tactician [Man-O-War Bombardiers]: While this model is in play friendly Man-O-War Bombardiers units gain Precision Bombardment (Models with Precision Bombardment may re-roll failed ranged attack rolls during activations they aim).
Full Steam (*Action): RNG CMD. Target a friendly Man-O-War model/unit. The model/unit may make a 2" advance.
Into the Breach (*Action): RNG CMD. Target a friendly Man-O-War model/unit. The model/unit gains +2 to all damage rolls for one turn.
Not sure, just some ideas. I think the Full Steam action mitigate the entire "slow" problem of the MOW units, but without going over-the-top. You get 6" Shield Walls with STs, 11" threat ranges from the Demo Corps, and you can do all kinds of stuff with Bombardier shooting with out-of-activation movement. The Into the Breach action gives him a support ability to use when you no longer need the extra movement. The granted abilities are minor perks that fit within the character of the various units, the Bombardiers being the strongest but they are also arguably the weakest overall unit in question too.
I think he might be cheap at 3pts, since he does little by himself, but his buffs are overall less powerful than Joe too because they will affect smaller units and therefore fewer models overall. However, on the flip-side 3pts is a bit expensive for such small units if you're only bringing one MOW unit; so he'd encourage multiple units in the same list. So that's a bit of a hidden cost, because you'd need to spend at least 15pts on 2x min units of the cheaper MOW plus the super-solo.

Syrian rebels — Rebels backed by captured tanks launched a fresh offensive on a government complex housing a police academy near the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday, while the government hit back with airstrikes to try to protect the strategic installation, activists said. If rebels capture the complex on the outskirts of Aleppo, it would mark another setback for President Bashar Assad. In recent weeks, his regime has lost control of key infrastructure in the northeast including a hydroelectric dam, a major oil field and two army bases along the road linking Aleppo with the airport to its east.
Palestinian death — The mysterious death of a 30-year-old Palestinian gas station attendant in Israeli custody stoked new West Bank clashes Sunday, along with Israeli fears of a third Palestinian uprising. A senior Palestinian official alleged that Arafat Jaradat was tortured by Israel's Shin Bet security service, citing an autopsy he said revealed bruising and two broken ribs. Israel's Health Ministry said the autopsy did not conclusively determine the cause of death, but that the bruising and broken ribs were likely the result of attempts to revive the detainee.
Romney is back — Almost four months after his presidential election defeat, Mitt Romney is planning a return to the national political stage. The 2012 Republican nominee is scheduled to appear, with his wife, Ann, on "Fox News Sunday" next weekend. It will be his first televised interview since the November election. Romney also plans to speak next month at the Conservative Political Action Conference, a high-profile forum for conservative politicians.
Raul Castro term — Raul Castro announced Sunday that he will step down as Cuba's president in 2018 following a final five-year term, for the first time putting a date on the end of the Castro era. He tapped rising star Miguel Diaz-Canel as his top lieutenant and first in the line of succession. The 81-year-old Castro also said he hopes to establish two-term limits and age caps for political offices including the presidency — an astonishing prospect for a nation led by Castro or his older brother Fidel since their 1959 revolution.
BP oil spill — With a major civil trial scheduled to start Monday in New Orleans against BP over the explosion of an offshore drilling rig in 2010, federal officials and those from the five affected Gulf Coast states are trying to strike an 11th-hour settlement to settle the case. A lawyer briefed on those talks said that the Justice Department and the five states have reportedly prepared an offer to resolve the two biggest issues central to a series of trials against BP.
North Korea threat — North Korea warned the top U.S. military commander in South Korea on Saturday that if the United States pressed ahead with joint military exercises with South Korea scheduled to begin next month, it could set off a war in which U.S. forces would "meet a miserable destruction." The warning came as the U.S. and South Korean militaries planned to start joint war games early next month. The allies regularly conduct such joint military drills, and whenever they happen, North Korea threatens to deliver a devastating blow to U.S. and South Korean troops.
Voting Rights Act — The Supreme Court will consider Wednesday whether the guarantee of equality in Alabama, and elsewhere in the South, is the same as in the rest of the nation. The court will review — for the sixth time since passage in 1965 — Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, which mandates that federal authorities pre-approve any changes in voting laws here and in eight other states and numerous jurisdictions with a history of discrimination. It has survived each previous time.
NBC ratings — With every passing week, the sudden blossoming of prime-time success that NBC experienced last fall is looking more like a mirage. When the official numbers are completed Thursday, NBC will finish this sweep month not only far behind its regular network competitors, but also well behind the Spanish-language Univision. No broadcast network has ever before finished a television season sweep month in fifth place.

The Community of Sant'Egidio on Friday hosted the 7th International Conference of the DREAM programme. Launched in 2002, the programme is based on a holistic approach to treating HIV/AIDS in ten sub-Saharan African countries.
One of the countries where DREAM has been particularly successful is Malawi. Known as Project Malawi, the government has integrated DREAM into its national HIV/AIDS response and collaborates with an array of international NGOs and faith-based groups.
"The Malawi approach is very unique because it is integrated into the ongoing national HIV/AIDS response, but it has also created a public-private partnership," says Mary Shawa, Principal Secretary for HIV/AIDS and Nutrition at the Office of the President and Cabinet of the Republic of Malawi.
The country now has ten DREAM centres and four laboratories for testing.
Project Malawi still faces challenges, like access to DREAM centres in rural areas and lack of new technologies. But Shawa says that stigma is not one of the challenges.
"I have told my staff, 'Yes we are all HIV-positive,' because in your own family you have lost people, whom we have buried due to AIDS, and you have relatives who are HIV-positive. It means you are living with HIV. So we are all at risk and we are all positive. That's how we tend to overcome HIV stigma."
Shawa went on to say that the Catholic Church has been a strong partner in the country's AIDS response.
"They were the first to start the ART treatment in the country before the government had organized itself to start the treatment," she told Vatican Radio. "A lot of work they have done has been used as learning ground for the ongoing programmes that are taking place now."

In a few months, the K-9 named Yaro will retire from the Galt Police Department after serving for 3 1/2 years with Officer Kevin Tonn.
Tonn was gunned down while investigating a residential burglary on Jan. 15.
On Friday in Rocklin, hundreds of people stopped by a bake sale at the Starbucks on Granite Drive to support the Foothills K-9 Association.
Tonn was elected as a director of the association just weeks before the fatal shooting.
The association raises money to purchase K-9 officers, training and equipment for local officers.
See photos from the sale:
The non profit organization also helps pay for food and medical costs of retired K-9s.
Money from Friday's bake sale will be used to help pay for Yaro's retirement, including a replacement K-9.
The bake sale was organized by Andrijana Krslovic, who attended Tonn's memorial service and hopes to one day be an officer.
"I just really wanted to bring the community together to celebrate his life and to also celebrate these wonderful K-9 dogs that do so much to help our community," said Krslovic.

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points and the New York Knicks finally snapped a four-game losing streak while extending the Philadelphia 76ers' skid to five.
Amar'e Stoudemire added 22 points and J.R. Smith and Raymond Felton had 14 apiece for the Knicks, who beat the Sixers 99-93 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night.
Jrue Holiday had 30 points and Evan Turner added 21 for Philadelphia (22-32). Thaddeus Young, who had been out with an injury nearly three weeks, started and scored 11 points in 36 minutes for the Sixers.
New York took control at the start of the second quarter and led by double-digits for most of the rest of the game.
The Knicks entered the fourth quarter up nine, but quickly boosted the lead. Stoudemire, whose scoring spurt to start the second quarter helped the Knicks open up what had been a close game, scored eight of the Knicks' first 10 points in the fourth to help them go up 87-71 with 8:55 left.
Philadelphia got within 98-93 with 43 seconds left on Spencer Hawes' tip-in, but Turner's shot after a drive rolled in and out on the Sixers' next possession and the Knicks held on from there.
Up 12 at halftime, the Knicks entered the fourth quarter leading 76-67 after a third period that included a quick dust-up that, at least momentarily, jolted a sleepy Knicks crowd.
The Knicks, whom coach Mike Woodson said needed to show more composure after J.R. Smith got ejected in a recent loss to Indianapolis, had a run-in with the Sixers midway through the third.
With less than eight minutes left in the third, Anthony smacked Hawes in the back of the head as Hawes waited for a rebound, resulting in a Flagrant 1 foul call after the play was reviewed. Hawes immediately turned to face Anthony, getting in a small shove, before Knicks center Tyson Chandler protected his star teammate by shoving Hawes hard, moving him away from Anthony. Hawes and Chandler were then separated and both were called for technical fouls.
The Knicks took a 52-40 lead into halftime, with Anthony scoring 18 points to lead them before the break. Stoudemire added 11, including six in the first three minutes of the second quarter that helped the Knicks go on a 17-2 run to take a 41-24 lead.

Good Scanner
Bought this scanner to scan a few large book binders to my computer so i could convert to word and have the ability to cut and paste text. The features say it scan 15ppm but so far it scans about 4ppm double side. Works great mechanically and double side scan is great. My only issue is the scan speed ppm, slow, but steady. Have not figured out how to scan a document as word yet so I just scan PDF then copy and paste as a word document. Overall I like it but thought for $400.00 it would be a little faster than 4ppm.

Big Screen Berkeley: Good old Eurowestern 'Navajo Joe'
If you've been keeping score at home, it should be obvious by now that yours truly isn't much of a western enthusiast. Since I began writing for Berkeleyside three years ago, I've penned precisely one column about this most American of film genres – and that concerned a rather non-traditional example of the style.
There's one subset of the oater, however, that I've always found completely irresistible: the Eurowestern. During the 1960s and '70s, well over 500 Old West adventures were produced on the continent. Most of these films were Italian — hence the mildly pejorative descriptor 'spaghetti western' – but plenty of other countries also got into the act, including West Germany, Yugoslavia, Britain, and France.
Italy, however, was responsible for the vast majority of Eurowesterns, and it's Italy that's the focus of Pacific Film Archive's current series, 'The Hills Run Red: Italian Westerns, Leone, and Beyond'. As the series' title suggests, director Sergio Leone remains the name most of us associate with the genre. Indeed, his reputation is well deserved — there are few films that equal The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West – but he was hardly alone. … Continue reading »

Scott Brown ran a small campaign for a large office — and on Election Day, voters opted for a bigger figure. And so Elizabeth Warren, who was largely unknown to Massachusetts when she kicked off her campaign, has beaten the man who, two short years ago, was hailed as a rising national star.
This defeat shouldn't end Brown's political career. But it should teach an important lesson. Brown started this race with the advantage of incumbency, a substantial war chest, and an aura of nice-guy likability. He squandered those advantages. He failed to anticipate obvious obstacles, while doubling down on tired, tinny GOP stands.
This comment has been removed.
When the dust settles, I hope Brown and the MA Republican party, reevaluate their decision to base his campaign on personality rather than issues. Brown spent much of his campaign talking about Warren's heritage, even though he couldn't prove his assertions that she lied or benefited from it. At the same time he tried to make himself seem important, talking about secret meetings with kings and queens, frequent phone calls from the Obama team, and a bill he wrote that became law - except that all of that was easily proven false - something he couldn't prove with any of his Warren attacks.
Warren talked about issues - not as much fun but things we care about. Brown avoided issues, and said he voted against equal pay for women because "it would be bad for business" then ran ads saying he supported it.
Brown should have won reelection easily, but blew it. I hope others take note of his failing strategy and learn from it.
Senator Brown is what he is. No need to review his missing contact with the voters choosing to demean the real deal, Elizabeth Warren. He was a good lesson in demonstrating that unjustified smearing of your opponent and neglecting the issues is a losing proposition in this state. For those who bought former Sen Brown's view of America and are still nervous about now Sen Warren's focus, please give her a chance. This is a duty of the loyal opposition seeing the results of this election. We must allow this if one sees the considerable majority of Massachusetts want her agenda to succeed. If it does not work out, vote her out in six years. Somehow though I believe the margin of victory for her will only grow over the years. She has earned the people's seat.
She ran an effective campaign, but she didn't "earn" the senatorial seat. Mr. Brown lost the seat because of a general desire in a very liberal, very Democratic state to save the Senate from a Republican takeover.
Warren's about as qualified to be a senator as Obama was to be a president, which is to say, not very. Fortunately, they both had high powered speech writers and campaign consultants to do the heavy lifting for them.
In a democracy, the people get what they deserve, and now we get to see this hard left, anti-business ideologue do what she can do best--talk a good talk, while destroying business opportunity and undermining the incentive to work hard and innovate.
Welcome to the USA, the United Socialists of America, killers of the goose that lays the golden eggs and followers of the Argentina, Greece, and Spain school of economic development.
Scot, you did omit one big advantage for Warren in this election, and certainly cannot be dismissed. She was hand-picked by the White House to run in this race. It was only a few short months ago that the field of grass-roots Democrats in the primary were pushed aside, and the professional political strategists were brought in to package and present a political neophyte to the voters. And I must admit, the consultants did a very good job of selling Ms Warren as a grass-roots candidate, and presenting a very positive image.
While I like Ms Warren, and think she is well qualified to serve us in the Senate, one also has to believe she will have to have a strong sense of loyalty to Obama's agenda and direction, and our state will lose that moderate, independent voice in the Senate. Given the current political climate, and her inexperience in politics, one hopes she remains true to the citizens of this state.
And a quick 'thank you' to the real grass-roots political activists in this state for your efforts. Scott Brown, thank you for your service - you represented this state well. I'll consider you again for the 'people's seat' if John Kerry becomes Secretary of State. To all the Democrats pushed aside in the primaries, please jump in again. Your voice is important. And to Sean Beilat, who was run over by the future US Senate candidate Joe Kennedy, it is to people just like you who make our neighborhoods and communities such a good place to live.
our state will lose that moderate, independent voice in the Senate//////Give me a break. Here's a guy who signed a PLEDGE to a third party shill promising his political discretion away. Is that independant. Also his capmpaign tactics were the worst I have seen in my life. His asbestos attacks were pure lies. I have years of experiance with asbestos and was shocked with his accusations, and avoidance of substantive issues.
Spare us the outclassed part! You have a woman who professed to be an Indian, when it was to her advantage, lied on applications, received most of her fund raising from outside the state. Her and her brother bought houses in foreclosure, and flipped them for profits, all of course commented on and presented fairly by the Globe of course!!!
You had every single writer in the Globe, sans one, hammer away at him, while giving Fauxchohontas a free pass. Does anyone believe Warren is going to be bipartisan? She will make Pelosi and Reid look like moderates! She shares the same traits as the Globe writers, most of them. People who think every word belongs on tablets, they are smarter on every subject, and have contempt for anyone who points out the facts and dares question them! Scott Brown is not one of the elite! He doesn't deserve to be a leader!
Your candidate won, good for you! How about showing some class, and tell everyone that it wasn't going to matter what Scott Brown did, you were going to hammer him!!!! Warren had the Globe asking only one question, paper or plastic, the bag you were going to be in for!!!
Scot - Most of what you say may be accurate, but we all know why Brown lost, and it has nothing to do with what you've said. Brown lost because he is a Republican in a state that doesn't elect Republicans to national office. (His defeat of Coakley was an aberration enabled by low voter turnout and a poorly run campaign). What do you suppose the outcome would have been if Brown were the Democrat and Warren the Republican? No contest.
INCREDIBLE1: "What do you suppose the outcome would have been if Brown were the Democrat and Warren the Republican? No contest." REFLECTION: Huh? How exactly would either make it through the primaries, which are the forges in which a candidate's party identity is hammered into shape? I can't think of too many Dems who'd vote for a Grover Norquist anti-tax slave, and the idea of Republicans nominating a progressive Hahvahd professah...oops, sorry...brain just froze.

Mr. Lehigh: First off, your gal won, my guy lost, congrats.
Second, you are dead on with respect to where Brown fell short. I cringed every time I heard him embrace the simplistic no-taxes argument. It 's not the taxes, it's the big picture economy. That made it way too easy for sensible people not to consider him as a viable alternative.
But outclassed? I have to differ. Elizabeth Warren has not shown herself to be a person of character or warmth. Or sincerity. She was handed a golden opportunity by the national party and she took advantage of it. Now that she has achieved what is likely to be a long-term sinecure I speculate that her attention will wander back to the national stage. I think we are in for a Barbara Boxer-type regime with her. I will miss having a senator show up at events and having staff actually return a call. Hope I am wrong but I doubt it.
Lehigh missed one central point in Brown's defeat - the senator's too frequent failure to air tv ads featuring supporters with credibility, but more importantly, popularity. . . Too much use of the senator's very attractive, but nonetheless not very useful, family, especially his pretty wife with the tv news experience. . . He might be Mr. Nice Guy in his barn coat and pickup truck, but as a voter for him, I had to hold my nose when I looked around my town and saw the number of bimbos and little men driving way outsized pickups. . . Brown's final ad, with its patriotic visual and aural themes, was fairly good, but he didn't offer us much on the military, his experience with childhood predators, an explanation of how he interprets that no new taxes pledge (solid principle or with some flexibility), how he thought a moderate Republican clique within the Senate could bond together and influence such policies as Obamacare, tax system reformation, members' practices within Congress. Brown bragged that he played a major role in passage of a law that prohibits congressional members from benefiting from insider information they obtain on individual stocks. That was a positive he could be proud of - but he didn't offer enough such as that and military/veteran issues while putting on the air too many bland wifey supports him tv ads.
Brown forgot how he was elected the first time. He cast himself as the personification of Mr. Average Everyman with a mission to give the people their seat in big bad Washington. As his visibility increased, the myth was exposed. Though appearing benign and bipartisan, his voting record didn't match the rhetoric. Offering rather odd statements like "I live in a housefull of women" and attacking Warren's heritage was absolutely goofy in a highly educated, center-left electorate looking for a candidate who reflected their socail values. The central Massachusetts/South Shore couldn't deliver enough votes to make up for Boston and the Berkshires votes for the scrappy Warren. Brown needs to brush up on his language skills, deliver a consistent message and cut the trite bromides and he'll do much better when he runs for the Kerry seat! ;-)

Senator Scott Brown's disadvantage was 1) the Democrat machine that supported the Lion from Alice in Wonderland, 2) Globe writers who relentlessly hammered at Senator Scott Brown while chosing to support Warren (regardless of her nasty demeanor, and lies), 3) the Democrat voters who will but any thing labeled 'Democrat' - Like the young Kennedy kid in the SOuth. Go figure.
I suppose there are some who enjoy still kicking the "indian thing" as something important. But those are of course the same kind of people who have led the Republican Party down this dead end of of dismissing, minorities, women, youth. It is that same "white guys are special" crowd. A kind of delusion of grandeur a I know the other side is evil and I'm good. I guess for those who classify themselves as progressive that is great. However, for those of us of independent leanings they will continue to leave us nowhere to go except to the Democratic Party.

The conventional wisdom would be that you and your Richmond friend would pipe down for a day or two after last night's shellacking. He is AWOL of late, but you are very good at getting people to "notice" you. Do you feel important when people "notice" you? Your posts don't seem discouraged at all. Almost energized, like you have a reason to keep on being noticed. I mean, how much fun can you have with an icon of Governor Romney swinging a golf club?
