The 2007 Artist Series exhibits the complexity and

famous for. Its bouquet has intense aromas of cassis, fig and plum followed by complex notes of vanilla, forest floor, and a "dusty" quality that is often found in fine Cabernet Sauvignons. Full bodied with excellent mouthfeel and rich, well-structured tannins that give way to a lasting finish. Delicious now, this wine will continue to improve for at least a decade.

Local business offers winter mountaineering course
Published on Wed, Dec 9, 2009 by
Tara Nelson

Anyone who has looked up at Mount Baker from a distance may have wondered what it might be like to summit the smoldering, snow-covered giant or ski down its pristine backcountry slopes.
Fortunately, such adventures don't have to be out of reach for those of us who aren't career athletes or professional mountaineers. With a little physical training and minimal backpacking experience, even armchair recreationalists could find themselves conquering a mountain as part of a guided trip. And what better place to start than one's own backyard?
"Everybody in Bellingham sees Mt. Baker and a lot of people don't realize that is attainable for pretty much anyone who wants to spend a little bit of time to get in decent shape," said Coley Gentzel, a guide with the American Alpine Institute in Bellingham. "That's not to say it won't feel like work. But it is very doable for the average person. That's one good thing about moderate mountaineering, it's very accessible to a lot of people; it's basically walking uphill for many hours at a time, which most people are pretty capable of."
The organization offers a variety of guided mountaineering trips in 16 states and six countries around the globe from South America to Africa and Antarctica. But founding owner Dunham Gooding says some of the best terrain is located right here in the North Cascades area where AAI conducts many of their avalanche safety courses, backcountry skiing excursions, and water ice climbing during the winter months. Gooding said it is the area's access to wilderness and proximity of to major population centers, complexity and diversity of the microclimates, not to mention the sheer beauty of the North Cascades, that make Washington stand out among other regions.
"It's the perfect location for the base of an international guide service," Gooding said. "There are tremendous opportunities throughout the year for planning and backpacking in the summer and climbing, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. The variety is great and the accessibility is excellent."
"Places like the Sierra-Nevada Mountains and the Rockies have glaciers but they are little and they don't exhibit the complexity of big mountains because they're so tiny and they don't move around much," he said. "But at Baker, the things you see here and learn how to cope with are the same things you'll find in the biggest mountain ranges in the world so you can expose people to everything. You can take the skills and knowledge you acquire here and go anywhere in the world."
The organization was founded in 1975 as the Mount Baker Guide Service under the Gooding's direction. Since then, it boasts nearly 30 guides and completes an average of 15 trips per year. It has also won rave reviews from media establishments such as Forbes Magazine, USA Today, Men's Journal and The New York Times, which called it "The Harvard of climbing schools."
Most winter mountaineering courses require participants to have a minimum of one overnight backpacking experience under their belt, but others, such as the level I and level II avalanche safety courses, are taught in the classroom and during day trips within the Mt. Baker Ski area.
The avalanche safety courses are geared for backcountry users such as snowboarders, skiers, snow shoers or, as Gentzel put it: " basically anyone who wants to go walk around in the snow during the wintertime."
Snow camping trips, meanwhile, (also called winter mountaineering), are scheduled on a private basis as requested and can be tailored to individuals and groups. For example, last year Gentzel said he arranged a private winter mountaineering trip as a sort-of baby shower for a group of six women, one of which was pregnant.
"It was an interesting concept," Gentzel said. "We took them out and taught them how to make snow caves and how to set up a tent in the winter. They all had summer backpacking experience and were fairly proficient skiers and they had a blast."
The organization is also one of a few local agencies to offer guided water ice climbing trips during the winter months. Although thought by many to be a "fringe"-type of outdoor activity, Ice climbing can be one of the most challenging and exciting winter pursuits. Because it is formed from frozen waterfalls and seeps, it is a sport that may be pursued in many venues throughout the country. The course is offered on its own or as a two-day segment within a comprehensive winter skills program and is often conducted within the Mt. Baker ski area at Pan Dome Falls or Table Mountain, near Artist Point.
Most of their courses, however, are taught during the summer. Gentzel said their most popular trip is a three-day adventure to the 10,778-foot summit on Mt. Baker and offers stunning views of the Cascades, British Columbia and the San Juan Islands.

Quit Smoking: A Guide
Thinking about quitting, preparing to quit, quitting and staying quit.
Think about why you want to quit. Decide for sure that you want to quit. Promise yourself that you'll do it. It's OK to have mixed feelings. Don't let that stop you. There will be times every day that you don't feel like quitting. You will have to stick with it anyway.
Find reasons to quit that are important to you. Think of more than just health reasons. For example, think of:
Write down all the reasons why you want to quit. List ways to fight the urge to smoke, too. (You will find tips for coping later in this guide.) Keep your list where you'll see it often. Good places are:
When you reach for a cigarette you'll find your list. It will remind you why you want to stop.
Your body gets more than nicotine when you smoke.
There are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke. Some of them are also in wood varnish, the insect poison DDT, arsenic, nail polish remover, and rat poison.
The ashes, tar, gases, and other poisons in cigarettes harm your body over time. They damage your heart and lungs. They also make it harder for you to taste and smell things, and fight infections.
Here are some examples of reasons to quit:
Smoking's impact on others
Even a little second-hand smoke is dangerous.
Second-hand smoke can cause cancer in non-smokers. It can also cause breathing problems and heart disease. People who breathe second-hand smoke get colds and flu more easily. And they often die younger than those who don't breathe it.
Pregnant women who breathe second-hand smoke have many risks:
Children who breathe second-hand smoke have troubles too. They are much more likely to have breathing problems such as asthma. They also get more ear and lung infections (like pneumonia).

Re: Claypova in Rome: Veni, vidi, vici. The Sequel ...
I have an interesting hypothesis.
I just read on Wiki that Maria and Hogstedt started working on 2011, and since then Maria has only met Serena twice. Which brings me to the theory that Hogstedt and Maria haven't come up with a strategy to beat Serena since the two don't play much often. However when they do, Maria always gets murdered. It seemed that it wasn't their priority to beat Serena since they started working together. I think they focused more with coming up with a strategy to beat Assarenka judging by the recent beatdown - I think they finally have the right strategy to beat her.
But now that Maria has been beaten by Serena for the second time since Hogstedt coached her, I think this is the heads up/wake up call/turning point in which Hogstedt will start to focus more on coming up with a strategy to beat her. I think it will take like 1 or 2 more losses before they finally get it right.
What do you guys think?

All probability defied and obeyed at once: Bucks 105 – Cavs 102
Category: Recaps
|Ersan Ilyasova, SF 27 MIN | 1-8 FG | 1-2 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 3 PTS | -7Pretty pedestrian effort out of everyone's favorite hard working power forward. Ilysova was getting a lot of shots that he usually gets, he just wasn't making them. He did take a charge late that was crucial in holding the Cavs off, so points for that, Ers.
|Tobias Harris, SF 13 MIN | 2-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 4 PTS | -21Harris couldn't follow up his impressive season opening effort against the Celtics, despite having the smaller Kyrie Irving on him most of his 13 minutes on the court. But it was hard for Scott Skiles to want to keep Harris out there given how productive Mike Dunleavy was.
|Samuel Dalembert, C 10 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | -10Dalembert was painfully slow in attemping to guard the pick and roll all night long. He was burned by the Irving/Anderson Varejao pick and roll on back to back plays to start the second half, was immediately pulled for Larry Sanders and never returned.
|Monta Ellis, PG 36 MIN | 8-20 FG | 6-8 FT | 2 REB | 4 AST | 23 PTS | -13Ellis started out hot, hitting 7-10 FG in the first half. The heat didn't carry over into the second and he made just 3-10 FG after the long break. He was able to help control the offense while Brandon Jennings took kind of a back seat for a majority of the game and was able to get to the line a good number of times. Saturday's Ellis was certainly better than the preseason and the opener against the Celtics version.
|Brandon Jennings, PG 37 MIN | 5-13 FG | 2-2 FT | 4 REB | 13 AST | 13 PTS | -1413 assists again, matching his career high for the second time in this season's two games. Jennings was constantly pushing the ball and finding teammates for easy baskets on fast breaks and bust outs. He wasn't very aggressive for most of the game, as Cleveland stuck a much larger and more than capable of hanging with Jennings quickness wise Alonzo Gee on him for the majority of the game, to Milwaukee's surprise. But Jennings pointed out after the game that the Bucks can simply let Ellis do a lot of the show running when such situations occur.Oh, and Jennings hit the game winner with no time left on the clock. That was a plus. How unlikely was Jennings make? Before that shot, in the past three seasons when the Bucks were down by three or less or tied with 10 seconds or less left in a game, Jennings was 2-19 FG (1-13 3FG). Wow.
|Ekpe Udoh, PF 23 MIN | 2-4 FG | 1-2 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 5 PTS | +8Seriously Ekpe? 23 minutes and not one rebound? I don't even get it. He does his other stuff well, but this blows my mind.
|Larry Sanders, PF 30 MIN | 8-9 FG | 1-2 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 17 PTS | +19More is coming on Larry, as Saturday was quite an evening for him. He stuck around the hoop and dunked, but also attacked the basket with a couple drives, one of which involve a spin move and left-handed hook shot. He was all over the place, very active on the glass and a defensive factor too. One of his finest games ever.
|Beno Udrih, PG 17 MIN | 5-10 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 5 AST | 11 PTS | +20Udrih and Dunelavy helped sparked a bench that torched the Cavs. His spin move into a layup in the second quarter was once of the nicest moves the Bucks have had in a couple seasons. Through two games, we're seeing a lot of the same stuff out of Udrih that we saw last season, except with better shooting!
|Mike Dunleavy, SG 35 MIN | 10-12 FG | 3-5 FT | 12 REB | 6 AST | 29 PTS | +24The 29 points are unexpected, but they come with the 6-7 3FG territory. It's the 12 rebounds and six assists that really paint the picture of how active Dunelavy was on Saturday. When he's able to mix and aggressive floor game with unconcious shooting like he did Saturday, it hardly seems fair. It's like he's playing the game on a lower difficulty level or something, it just comes so easy and he's so crisp.
Four Things We Saw
- Bench, bench, bench, bench, bench. Milwaukee's reserves outscored the Cavs backups 62-15. 62-15!! The Cavs starters, led by Irving kept this close for most of the game, but Milwaukee's bench was too much for Cleveland to overcome. This game was a pretty clear illustration of the depth the Bucks had been talking about throughout training camp.
- Kyrie Irving was a terror, with 27 points and seven assists and a now forgotten basket that tied the game with .7 seconds left in the game. Milwaukee struggled mightily with him on the pick and roll all night, especially when Anderson Varejao started hitting mid-range jumpers in the third quarter, opening it up more for the young point guard. He looked like a Chris Paul/Derrick Rose dynamo type all night long.
- After such stingy defense against the Celtics, Milwaukee struggled to defend the Cavs on Saturday, largely because of the play of Irving. Unlike Rondo, Irving is the offensive centerpiece of virtually everything Cleveland does and he led them to 102 points on 47% shooting. Both of those numbers are higher than Coach Skiles wants to see this season. Defending opposing point guards was a problem the Bucks had last season and it affected all of their schemes on Saturday, as players had to continually rotate out of position and Cleveland capitalized with plenty of open looks.
- But that shot from Jennings though. Goodness.
- Logic indicated the Bucks would topple the Cavs after taking out a better Celtics team on Friday, but no one thought it would be very difficult. Skiles warned that the Cavs would be coming to play hard after being embarrassed at home by the Bulls the day before and they came out with great fire. This was a game of runs that seemed like it was going to come down to one team making just a few more plays. Well, the Bucks made at least one more play and now sit 2-0.
About the Author (Author Profile)Jeremy Schmidt writes the Milwaukee Bucks blog Bucksketball. He founded it in January of 2009 because he hated his job. It's like basketball, but with Bucks instead of basket. I know ... I'm sorry. He might come off as a bit negative, but I'm really not so bad. He just wants the Bucks to succeed, so he points out areas where they are coming up short. Someone has got to do it and he's ornery and opinionated enough to take on that task.

When did Larry Sanders learn to play basketball all of a sudden?
No kidding! Who is this imposter dressed up as Larry Sanders?
That's what I've been thinking, but this Larry Sanders impostor can stay!!!
You gotta feel good for him; it was so obviously mental, and now he seems to have confidence.
I've been as big a Larry Sanders critic as anybody these past couple of years, but I am so glad he's finally coming around. I've always said if he dials back some of his antics, plays like a PF/C and learns to catch the ball, he could be the next Tyson Chandler. I'm honestly more excited to see what he could develop into moreso than Brandon Jennings.
I've been waiting for that game from Sanders for two years now. Respect to him for how hard he's working on the mental aspect of his game.
I was a big fan of the Sanders pick when it happened, but he seemed bent on proving me wrong the last couple years (and this years' preseason, what up with that?), but man he looks good so far. When he and Udoh are out there, watch out son! Forget the Jennings and Ellis nickname, we need a Sanders/Udoh name. Sandoh? Uders? Yous is talking crazy and I likes it.
The bash brothers..like from mighty ducks
Nail biting games are so much fun when BJ pulls off a buzzer beating win! Because the Bucks bench is better than Cav, an overtime would have been okay, but that win…WOW!
It was so great to see the enthusiasm. The crowd yelling for Larry when he fouled out. Gotta love Milwaukee! Larry and teammates all grinning from ear to ear. Jennings buzzer shot and his dancing across the court. Teammates all hugging. Fans jumping out of their seats.
Now THAT'S a season opener!
Jennings last shot was a thing of beauty Larry Sanders is finally starting to look more comfortable hope that continues good start to the season 2-0
This was probably the best (or 2nd best) Buks I've ever been to. I was there for the last playoff game when we beat the Atlanta Hawks at home (game 3 or 4), but last night was awesome! We played like we were really jet-lagged or very tired….but we won in the best way possible!
Also the B.S. call that fouled out Larry, and the BC just start shouting "Larry!!!" It was almost like the game stopped. It was incredible!!
I've been defending Larry Sanders for as long as I can remember. It feels good to watch him start to back up what I've been saying. To the rest of you who wanted him out of Milwaukee…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwWPt7zoI8U
I'm disappointed (but not surprised) that espn didn't even have the story on the front nba page.

Jury duty can cost you
Everyone grumbles about the boredom and the bad coffee. Ever thought about the financial hardship?
- I've been injured in an auto accident. (The case we were to have looked at involved lost income and "enjoyment of life" after a crash.)
- I write for MSN Money. (The guy doing the suing was in the securities industry.)
- The guy's attorney just didn't like my face. A friend of mine joked, "You look like you're ready to acquit."
Another potential juror said that her boss won't pay her for jury duty -- or for the two days she spent in the jury assembly room.
Anybody out there OK with losing two or more days' salary?
An unforeseen 'emergency'
When we think about an emergency fund, I bet most people envision car repairs, doctor bills or job loss. I'll admit that "jury duty" never appeared on my radar screen.
Here in King County, Wash., jurors get $10 a day plus mileage or bus fare. A bunch of us won't even get that because we agreed to donate it to a courthouse child care center. (The place is set up for kids who are called to testify, or for those whose parents or guardians have courthouse business.)
- Bing: Jury duty
Those other two women dodged the bullet, too. But they're still out two days' pay.
It could happen to you
Make no mistake: I understand that jury service is important and I do take it seriously. I've been called twice during my life and served once, for a purse-snatching trial. (Incidentally, I didn't vote to acquit.)
That said, consider jury duty as just one more reason to build an emergency fund. This is especially true for those who, due to unemployment or underemployment, are just about keeping the books balanced. What would losing two or more days' worth of salary do to the bottom line?
Maybe you think you can't afford to save money. In some cases that's true. Some people are so rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul strapped that they really can't spare a dime.
However, some of us only think we can't afford to save. We forget about the morning coffees, the mid-afternoon sodas, the Friday pizzas, the little extras on the cell phone plans. It's only a few bucks, we reason. What good would that do?
You'd be surprised. See "An emergency fund out of thin air" and "9 sneaky tips for saving more" for some examples of how people turn chump change into financial peace of mind. So build a cushion and then treat yourself.
And if you're not willing to give up your daily java? Savor it while you can, because they're probably not providing free coffee in the jury room.

As many Iraq/Pakistan/Afganistan and Vietnam veterans plus all the military retirees should be exempt from jury duty. We have served our country in a war zone. Some of us have limbs left behind those places, but most Americans, or they want to be called Americans persist on getting
everybody to go to jury duty. I have yet to see and CEO, CFO of a large company go to jury duty.
I have written my congressman to present a law in Congress so that every State in the Union exempt all military retirees w/20 plus years and all recent war vets with a minimum of six months
of in-country duty. I collect military retire pay and have to work as self employed to make end meet and having to go to jury duty would hurt tremendously.

You never paid close enough attention to the "part" part.
You were young (too young!) and in love when you walked down the aisle, nervous and sparkly-eyed. "For richer, for poorer" were just words. "For better, for worse." Marriage has its ups and downs; everybody knows that. No problem.
Then ... "In sickness and in health, until death do you part."
Whoa. That's a long way away, right?
For author Becky Aikman, it wasn't. Blindsided by the early death of her husband, she explains how it takes a small village to raise one's spirits in the new book "Saturday Night Widows."
Life was not supposed to happen that way.
Becky Aikman's husband, Bernie, was supposed to become an old man one day. They were supposed to retire together, travel together, spend weekends sharing a newspaper and watching the sun set.
He was not supposed to die young.
But he did, and once the shock had softened a bit, Aikman tried finding support at a widows group. There, she learned that she was decades younger than those peers and that they seemed to resent her. She was uninvited to return.
Years later, once returned to normalcy and newly in love again, Aikman decided to learn more about herself and her widowhood. She asked around and found five young widows, all who agreed to Aikman's "plan" to support one another for one year.
"We would share our stories, and we would share one story," said Aikman.
Widowed just months, Denise was raw from her loss and would need the tenderest support. Dawn was "pure confection," a beauty with two small children to raise. Homebody Lesley was starting a relationship that gave her hope. Marcia, a lawyer, "never cracked." And Tara was holding extra hurt about her husband's death.
For one year, through tears and giggles, spas and shopping, "zingers" and memories, the five women leaned on one another, tiptoed together through a minefield of dating, met milestones, and helped one another heal.
It was only a year, but it was time enough to learn that "sometimes things turn out exactly right."
Often desperate, sometimes feisty, partly hilarious, and warm as a fleecy blanket, "Saturday Night Widows" is a surprisingly feel-good, girl-bonding, which-role-will-Meryl-Streep-play-in-the-movie kind of a book. And I loved it.
Though there are a few continuity confusions, Aikman tells a story of sharp loss, fog, love, and fighting one's way to a new normal. She does it through a year spent with five onetime-strangers who were also "too young" to be widows, their separate situations, and their emotional repair.
Along the way, Aikman looks at scientific studies on grief here and in other cultures, and how both genders deal with loss.
Did I mention that I loved this book? I did, for its humor, its help, and for its heart.
This is obviously not a dark memoir, and I daresay it's not for your widowed granny, either. It's sad, it's happy, and, in fact, once you start "Saturday Night Widows," you won't be able to part with it.
"Saturday Night Widows," by Becky Aikman, copyright 2013 by Crown, is 337 pages and sells for $26.

Who are the coaches??
He got snubbed for parker not aldridge. There are 2 extra guards and 3 extra front court players. Lee had more of a chance since Harden and Westbrook are locks.
All-star game is for entertainment more run and gun style no way should a slow soft center like lopez be in there. I think Jr deserved all-star more than tyson and who the hell is paul george lol.
I honestly don't think Curry deserved a spot over anyone except Dwight. And I love Curry.
If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

Everyday Practicality
Like every Bentley grand tourer, the Continental GT Convertible is a true driver's car: it is rewarding and exhilarating whether you're driving around town or across a continent. Above all, it offers supercar performance and handling whatever your mood or road, with no sacrifice of practicality.
The advanced all-wheel drive gives reassuring grip in slippery conditions, while Continuous Damping Control adapts to different conditions and delivers a flat, calm ride.
Inside the cockpit every control, including the intuitive new touchscreen, is within easy reach. Detail touches make a difference for everyday ownership: the door pocket includes a special recess with space for a bottle of water. An enclosed storage area ahead of the gearlever is illuminated with LEDs, ideal for a wallet or phone. And slotting into the centre console, a detachable case for sunglasses or keys that's personalised and trimmed in the same hide and veneer as the car it belongs to. It's a delightful finishing touch to a car that's designed to be driven and enjoyed every day of the year.
For those cool summer evenings or crisp spring mornings, Bentley's engineers have developed an extra inducement to enjoy hood-down motoring. With the optional neck warmer feature, a discreet vent in the seat just below the headrest provides a stream of warm air to take the chill off your drive. When a convertible looks this good hood down, you'll want to enjoy it all year round. And with seats like these, you can.

An epidemiological study by Fardet et al. (CME, p. 491) of British general practice patients who received oral glucocorticoids showed that patients who received these drugs were seven times as likely to attempt suicide as were patients with the same illness who did not receive steroids (figure). The increase was most prominent in younger people. Mania and delirium were also significantly more common, particularly in older men. Neuropsychiatric effects were more common in patients receiving higher doses and those with previous mental disorders. Brown (p. 447) notes in an editorial that this is the first large-scale study of the effects of steroids, with over 300,000 patients exposed to the drugs.
Neuropsychiatric effects of glucocorticoids vary by patient age and sex (Fardet et al., p. 491)
Hospitalized elderly patients with delirium have increased connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate as observed by Choi et al. (p. 498), as well as reduced connectivity with dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons. After 6 days of antipsychotic drugs, patients' symptoms decreased by half. Dopaminergic and cholinergic functional innervation was also restored. However, the abnormal cortical connectivity continued, consistent with early partial resolution of delirium but persistence of significant cognitive psychopathology. Gaudreau (p. 450) points out in an editorial that there has been only one well-controlled therapeutic trial for delirium since 1996 and notes that a surrogate consent procedure made this research possible for these gravely disabled patients.
A placebo-controlled study of 100 outpatients with mixed heroin-amphetamine addiction showed that implanted naltrexone, designed to block opiate effects for 8–10 weeks, led to 52% of patients remaining in treatment and 38% having urine samples free of both drugs at 10 weeks, compared to 28% remaining and 16% drug free for the placebo implant. Tiihonen et al. (p. 531) report that use of other substances, such as alcohol, did not increase. The number needed to treat, i.e., number of patients who have to be treated for one to benefit, was three. In an editorial, Penetar (p. 455) points out that a puzzling aspect of the study is that craving decreased in both treated and placebo groups, even though remission rates differed. Naltrexone did decrease euphoria in patients who continued to use amphetamine.
Zanarini et al. (p. 476) describe the course over 16 years of borderline and other axis II personality disorders. Nearly everyone achieves remission of symptoms, but the time to remission is much slower with borderline disorder. Only half the borderline disorder patients, compared to most of the other axis II patients, ever achieve full psychosocial recovery, and relapse is common. Obesity is also common, probably because of medications. Soloff and Chiappetta (CME, p. 484) note that failure to achieve psychosocial recovery is associated with increased suicide attempts. In an editorial, Paris (p. 445) points out that psychiatrists who see very sick personality disorder patients in crisis are often surprised that the long-term outcome is better than the outcome for bipolar disorder.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder affects 2%–5% of premenopausal women. Criteria proposed for DSM-5 include the occurrence of at least five symptoms in most menstrual cycles during the past year, such as affective lability, irritability, depressed mood, anxiety, loss of interest, lethargy, changes in appetite or sleep, loss of control, or bloating. These symptoms need to begin the week before and improve a few days after menses onset. Other exclusion and inclusion criteria are described by Epperson et al. (p. 465). Response to serotonin reuptake inhibitors as well as to oral contraceptives containing the progestin drospirenone is noted.

Reports vary, but anywhere from 44 to 65 people were homeless Sunday, following a fire in the city's North End.
The Red Cross reported 15 families were affected and investigators told CBS 3 that they believe it is arson.
CBS 3 cameras arrived to the scene shortly after Midnight at 2764 Main St. It was two hours in and flames could still be seen shooting from the roof of the buildings.
Later Sunday morning, the fire was out, but the damage was clearly done. In all, three buildings were heavily damaged.
Dennis Leger, aide to Fire Commissioner Joseph Conant, estimated it to be in the range of $500,000.
"My daughter called me and told me the building was on fire," said resident David Rios. "So I came dramatically down the block and thank God they were all out and safe."
Rios and his family of six had lived on the third floor of one of the buildings for the past three years. This is not the first time they have had to overcome adversity.
"We have been through a lot," Rios stated. "We moved down here. We have been through a shelter, a shelter program, and then we moved to this building. But we are going to make it out of this one."
Leger said no firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze.
Two women who lived in the building were taken to the hospital, but have since been treated and released.
For the Rios family, there is strength in numbers.
"This is another step, another hurdle that we can go over with the whole family," said Rios. "Because without family, you are not going to do it, you know what I mean?"
With investigators believe that it was a set fire, the Springfield Fire Department is asking for the public's help in tracking down the person or persons responsible.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Arson and Bomb Squad at 413-787-6370.

News and Events Details
Ryan Nelson obtained his degree in Economics and Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance, upon his graduation from UW-Superior in 1997. From the time he first began attending college, Nelson's interests were already pulling him towards a career in banking. He explains, "Money movement, the stock market, and the economy in general have always been an interest of mine." His love and dedication to the field brought him many great opportunities, and he now is working as the Assistant Vice President and a Risk Manager at US Bank in downtown Minneapolis.
After finishing his studies at the university, Nelson found his first professional job working with TCF Bank in Edina, MN, where he held the position of a Consumer Loan Officer. From there he moved to US Bank in Duluth and spent a few years there, first working as a Personal Banker but eventually being promoted to Branch Manager. Nelson's final move brought him back to the Twin Cities area where he began working with one of the divisions of US Bank and was eventually placed into his current job as a Consumer Banking Risk Manager while also holding the position of the Assistant Vice President.
As a Risk Manager, Nelson's main job is assessing the threats that could potentially come out of a specific situation and working out a way to efficiently manage those risks or evade the risks altogether. This deals with numerous areas of banking such as whether or not to approve certain loans or bank accounts, and figuring out the best way to go about dealing with new regulations placed on the bank by the government. He reveals, "I think being flexible [and] being able adapt to different situations has really helped me." Nelson has some tough choices to make on the job, but he is successful because he "[has] the confidence to make a decision and stick by it." Because he works
with so many different facets of the bank, Nelson never gets bored while on the
job, and he enjoys being able to help the customers with their needs and help
the bank in its success.
One challenging aspect to his job, however, is fighting the misinterpreted ideas about the company based on factors that are outside of the company's control. Nelson comments, "The current regulatory environment in banking is tough and the entire banking industry's reputation has taking a negative turn the last few years. Some of it deserved most of it not." It is a tough job to make a positive name for the company when there are already so many false representations of the bank being circulated by the public. It is also frustrating for him to deal with certain expectations in the workplace. Nelson explains, "My biggest complaint is having to make changes that don't make
business sense because a regulator/regulatory body doesn't agree with how we are doing it." Nonetheless, Nelson still greatly enjoys his work with the bank, and he loves being able to have a part in its success.
Nelson's time spent at the university was a great contributor to his later career success. While he was attending college, Nelson was a member of the UW-Superior baseball team. He credits this experience, along with his time spent on other sports teams throughout the years, for leading him to success in his professional career. Reflecting on the impact it has had on him, he says, "I believe being part of a team or group is a very valuable experience as you move out of college and into the job market. Being able to work together toward a common goal is extremely important."
For his specific field, Nelson also feels that his Economics and Finance classes from college were especially helpful for his job, since they were directly applicable to his daily work. His other classes that he took for his major and minor were also a perfect fit for the line of work he ended up in. He understands the importance of getting an education beyond high school and how strongly that impacts the potential to obtain a professional job.
Nelson knows that the chances of getting the dream job right out of college are slim, but he would advise others to just get some experience and be patient. He recommends, "First of all, get your degree…After that, just get in door with a bank, work hard, and do a good job. The opportunities will come." For those who are looking to stretch their career potential to its limits, Nelson would suggest looking into whether or not the company you work for offers financial aid for graduate school. Many companies are willing to help ease the burden of tuition for those going back to school to further their education. This is because they want have the most knowledgeable employees who can help their company to success.
In Nelson's position, however, he does not believe that having a master's degree is a necessity. At the same time he would certainly never discourage anybody from pursuing a higher degree. He comments, "Without one you may start a little lower and make less money but you can make that ground up if you are smart and work hard. Experience can be the great equalizer."
Looking to the future of banking, there is certainly still room for growth. A couple of years ago there was only one other person working with risk management at the bank with Nelson. Since then, the job has already expanded greatly, and there are now thirteen more people working in that specific job position. Nelson certainly enjoys what he is doing on the job and hopes to continue working in this area of the bank in the upcoming years. He states, "US Bank has been a wonderful company to work for and I hope to spend the rest of my career here." No matter where Nelson ends up in the company, there is sure to be a bright future for him.
Ryan Nelson was interviewed as a part of the Career Services Day in the Life project. His full interview and those of other UW-Superior alumni can be found on the Day in the Life website, http://www.uwsuper.edu/career/students/day-in-the-life.cfm.

Mr. Fish, a straightforward teacher, is completely uninterested in the details of the world inside Fidgety Bram's mind and does whatever it takes to make Bram do things the "right" way. Bram's parents struggle with finding a balance between their son's happiness and his adapting to Mr. Fish's ways.

Shared custody agreement recognizes dogs as family members

OMG be glad you did it your way. My ex-husband and I figured we'd wing it. We fought ALL THE TIME over our Doxie. ALL THE TIME. He let her get fat. Didn't take care of her. He thought I didn't feed her enough. Only one good lesson came out of it, I'm glad I divorced him.

Great topic. When my husband and I divorced our german shepherd mix went with him initially. He'd had Jack since a pup and I came along later; Jack was strongly bonded to Charlie. I cried and missed Jack terribly but knew he was in good hands. Several years later Charlie. accepted a job out of the country and Jack came to live with me in his final four years. I was so glad to be able to give Jack a stable, quiet life as a senior dog. I was in a relationship again and Sal fell in love with Jack right away. When C. returned to the US he agreed that Jack had a better living situation than he could give at the time. The divorce was not amicable, rather it was distant neutrality, but our love for that dog was the only thing that kept us in communication. After Jack died, I informed Charlie and the communication ended. It makes me cringe to think that adults would sell a dog and split the money if they couldn't agree on living terms with the dog. That is not an action motivated by love for the animal.

Women's Empowerment takes on making 1,200 desserts for Thursday's gala
The smell of chocolate truffles, orange cream and strawberries flooded the KVIE commercial kitchen Wednesday morning as Women's Empowerment graduates were hard at work. Making 1,200 desserts for 550 people was no easy task, but the 10 women took on the challenge with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.
The desserts are for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Independence Gala that benefits Women's Empowerment, a Sacramento non profit that helps homeless women find jobs and housing for their families. The gala is Thursday from 5:30 – 9 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt, 1215 J St.
The women worked diligently to make the perfect cheesecake bites from a recipe of one of the graduate's great grandmothers. Tray after tray of chocolate truffles and orange-cream cheese cupcakes came out of the ovens while frosting was stirred by hand. Jovial voices bounced around the room while hand mixers turned on and off as they whirled batter quickly around glass bowls.
"Women's Empowerment is a safe haven," said Ann Gamble-Turner, a graduate of the Women's Empowerment job readiness program. "I thought I was all alone, but at Women's Empowerment I found women who could relate to my experiences. These women are making their desserts with every ounce of love that they've got…Talking about it makes me emotional," she added.
Many of the women who enroll in Women's Empowerment are homeless, unemployed and have come from histories of violence, abuse, drugs and poverty. Women meet others in the program who can relate to their experiences and offer encouragement as they work to create a new future for themselves and their families.
Gamble-Turner said she is happy to be a server at the gala this year and is so proud of the women who are graduating from the program. Gamble-Turner described herself as a Women's Empowerment cheerleader who found her second chance in the program. she was offered a new start in the program after living as a homeless woman in Sacramento and having faced years of poverty and hardship.
"The women making the desserts today are women who love food and love to cook," said Lisa Culp, executive director of Women's Empowerment. "Making desserts this morning and serving dinner tomorrow night are a part of their training to become ServSafe certified."
Every restaurant must have at least one employee with a ServSafe ceritification to ensure that the food facility is following food safety standards. This certification will make these women more competitive candidates when they apply for jobs.
"We try to equip women with confidence and skills they can use in the workforce. Preparing them for a real job means they will be able to provide for their families," Culp said.
The menu for Thursday night was not available Wednesday.
The Women's Empowerment graduates and those who are in the program now will serve food to guests and recent honored graduates.
Thursday night the Grand Hyatt will be preparing watermelon salad, smoked pork shoulder, jambalaya and red velvet popsicles for the gala.
Wednesday morning the kitchen was filled with loud laughter, emotional moments and busy hands. Hard at work, the graduates were in "go" mode as they pulled together to make more than 1,000 desserts in just a couple of hours.

Flagstaff police are looking for suspects behind two separate wildfires that were quickly extinguished.
Firefighters discovered a wildfire Friday morning burning on a slope in the area of N. Izabel Street and E. Sixth Avenue along the Flagstaff Urban Trail System.
Three juveniles were seen in the area just before the fire was reported, authorities said.
The second fire was reported Saturday morning in a wooded area behind Little America.
Three transients reported waking up and finding the fire burning around their campsite, firefighters said. Most of their personal property was destroyed.
One transient suffered minor burns to his foot as he tried to extinguish the fire.
Both fires were turned over to the Flagstaff Police Department.

Since debuting in the summer of 2006, CM Punk has formed a cult-like following never
before seen in WWE. And along the way, whether he's admired or abhorred, there has
always been one constant surrounding the Second City Savior: Controversy.
Punk's controversial demeanor turned scandalous in the summer of 2011 when the
Superstar threatened to leave the company with the WWE Championship following his title
opportunity against John Cena at Money in the Bank. Prior to
the match, Punk let a few verbal "pipe bombs" explode in
the direction of WWE management, particularly Mr.
McMahon. According to Punk's now-famous tirade,
McMahon only makes money in spite of himself and
surrounds himself with glad-handing, nonsensical
yes-men like John Laurinaitis. Punk also took shots at
McMahon's family, referring to Stephanie McMahon and
Triple H as his "idiotic daughter and doofus son-in-law"
respectively. This bold move did not earn him Employee of the
Month status but certainly raised his profile to astonishing
new heights. (Continue Reading ») |
(Photo Gallery »)
As promised, Punk won the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank and
immediately left the company, marking one of the most uncertain periods in WWE
history. Punk later re-signed with WWE, stating he wanted to be a beacon of
change within the sports-entertainment industry. And he equally yearned for the
return of WWE ice cream bars.
Prior to the controversial summer of 2011, Punk used his power of persuasion
and superior intellect to become one of the most in. uential leaders of his time.
First as the prophetic head of the Straight Edge Society and later as the leader
of the New Nexus, Punk had Superstars and fans alike . ocking to him, hanging
on his every word.
Punk has also proven to be equally successful in the ring. In addition to being a
multiple-time WWE Champion, the Voice of the Voiceless has also captured two
Money in the Bank briefcases. Both times, he used his guaranteed title
opportunity to claim the World Heavyweight Championship, first from Edge in
June 2008 and later from Jeff Hardy in June 2009. Punk is also a former ECW,
Intercontinental and World Tag Team Champion.
It would appear that CM Punk is no longer affiliated with WWE as his profile on WWE.com was transferred to the
Alumni section on Tuesday.
It has been widely reported that Punk's contract with WWE would expire this month and that it's unlikely that he would
re-sign with the company.
Approximately one hour after news surfaced of this, Punk wrote on Twitter, "Nope, thank YOU.Thanks for all the help and
support through the years. Health and happiness above all.Don't ever take any shit from anybody."
Punk is eager to start a new chapter in his life, one that he revealed via Twitter to fans.
"Starting a band, a podcast, and a fire. One of these is true. (Okay, two)," Punk tweeted on Sunday.
Meanwhile, WWE continues to promote Punk as their 2012 documentary on the Straight Edge Superstar, CM Punk - Best in
the World, premieres tonight on the WWE Network at 9:00 p.m.
(See 30+ Photos of CM Punk with AJ Lee »)
Over the years, many WWE story arcs and events have been dropped or altered due to injuries, disputes with and between the
wrestlers, executive meddling and various other reasons. WWE's recently released WWE 50 hardcover book chronicling
the sports-entertainment organization's history reveals another angle that almost came to fruition - a wedding between
CM Punk and Serena.
Fans may recall the Punk-led Straight Edge Society, a villainous alliance in WWE that appeared on SmackDown in 2010.
The concept behind the group was based around the straight edge lifestyle, which promotes and abides to discipline -
primarily no smoking, drinking, or drugs. The group acted as a militant organization, denouncing all people who don't live
the straight edge lifestyle, even those who also abstain from substance abuse. New members were required to shave their
heads, which signified a "new beginning." When SmackDown moved to its current home on Syfy in October 2010, the
debut episode was supposed to have featured a wedding with Punk and Serena. However, before the angle could take place,
Serena was released from her contract for not "living out" the Straight Edge Society gimmick in public. Punk, a real-life
straight edge follower, condemns Serena's off-camera behavior in the book.
"The debut of SmackDown on Syfy was supposed to be a huge wedding, me and Serena. God knows Vince loves weddings,
back to Uncle Elmer," recalls Punk. "But she tanked the whole thing: I can't say it enough. I don't want to sit here and boo
boo face and bash Serena, but what she did can't be undone. I've gotten apologies and all that, but you can't believe
somebody who'd lie to your face. I'd ask her if she'd been drinking. She'd say 'no.'
"'Okay, I'm not your dad. I'm not your counselor. I can't control you. But you told me you were going to do one thing, and
you did the opposite,' I said. It lead to her getting fired. Wake up! But I wish her the best."
In the time since her release, Serena struggled with a serious concussion suffered in late 2011 that put her out of action.
Fortunately, she has since recovered and is regularly competing again on the independent circuit.


text: 2700 Pillsbury Avenue Post from volunteer Nick Steffel: There's a giant house a block or two away from mine that I've been wondering about. It's massive — a huge two-and-a-half story house on a huge corner lot with a facade of old yellow brick. I wondered who would have built such a massive and ornate house. A railroad baron? A bootlegger? The answer turned out to be much more contemporary than I thought. According to the building permit cards in Special Collections, it was built over the winter of 1888-1889 by Samuel Wallace at a price of around $7,500. The house appeared to be an investment on Wallace's part. He was real estate partners with Robert Blaisdell Jr., whose father Robert Blaisdell Sr. was one of the city's early pioneers and the namesake of Blaisdell Ave. just one block over. The house is listed for sale in ads in the Minneapolis Tribune beginning in 1892. With an asking price of $18,000, it describes the house as "modern in every way" with "splendid architectural design" and a large corner lot. Unfortunately for Wallace, a financial panic hit the country in 1893 caused in part by excessive speculation. Wallace's 19th century version of "Flip That House" went awry and, according to the Minneapolis phone directories from the era, he wound up living in the house instead of selling it. Things may not have gone very well for Wallace after that. In 1898 Wallace placed a classified ad seeking "[s]everal men with pluck, money, and brains to corral gold lands in Alabama." An article in the Minneapolis Journal from 1904 said Wallace was convicted to 60 days in jail for stealing a bicycle. As for the house, it changed hands several times in the decades after Wallace owned it. In the 1950s it was coverted from a single family home to a 5-plex and it remains a multiplex today.
