Those who haven't heard of Lake Oswego pastry chef Kyra Bussanich, owner of Kyra's Bake Shop (formerly known as Crave Bake Shop), clearly have some catching up to do on the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" show. Bussanich, who graduated from Aloha High School in 1996, has won the network's competition twice with her gluten-free goods.
Now Bussanich, 35, has compiled her favorite recipes into a cookbook called "Sweet Cravings: 50 Seductive Desserts for a Gluten-Free Lifestyle." She talked with the Leader recently about her obsession with creating new recipes, how inspiration strikes and championing the gluten-free cause. Answers have been edited for clarity and brevity.
Q: How did you get into gluten-free baking?
A: When I was 20, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease (a chronic gastrointestinal illness), and I didn't do anything other than the meds that they gave me for several years ... and I felt terrible. In my mid- to late-20s I decided, "I'm not going to live like this."
The doctors were at the point where they didn't know what else to do for me, and they wanted to take out my colon. And I said, "You are not going to cut into me. I will try everything else first." So I tried acupuncture, I tried going gluten-free, and gluten-free really gave me back my life.
Q: Why baking?
A: I've always loved to bake - ever since I was a little kid. When I was young and I'd have friends spend the night, we would make brownies and cookies after my parents went to sleep. And so this is something that I've always really enjoyed doing. I have a massive sweet tooth, so that's part of it.
And it's much easier to find soups and salads that are gluten-free than it is to find a really good pastry that's gluten-free. So there was definitely that need. There was nothing out there like this when I went gluten–free eight years ago, or I would not have this business. I solely did it for selfish reasons, because I wanted to eat something delicious, and I figured maybe there's a person or two out there also who wants to eat something that tastes good.
Q: What's your favorite product right now?
A: That's like asking me to choose which is my favorite child! The cinnamon rolls are always fantastic, especially on a cold morning like this, they're super warm and gooey, and we'll heat them up for people. ...
And it's really fun with the cupcakes. Right now we have more of our more standard flavors and so my favorite cupcake flavor might be the hot fudge sundae filled with vanilla bean pastry cream. I just love changing things up. I mean there's a reason we have over 100 flavors of cupcakes, because I get bored easily and I want people to have something new to experience.
Q: Was there a shift in your customer base that came with "Cupcake Wars"?
A: Up until about three years ago, people would say, "Oh that's gluten-free, no thanks. I know what gluten-free stuff tastes like. "And I would say, "No, you haven't had my gluten-free stuff." ... Cupcake Wars – The whole reason why I did it was I wanted to show that gluten-free didn't have to mean the death of flavor and texture. It could be delicious and beat regular cupcakes. I felt like I wasn't just championing my shop; I was representing everybody out there who's gluten–free.
Q: Do you have a favorite flour to work with?
A: Millet flour. I love millet flour. ... It has a really creamy, nutty flavor to it. It's really great. It's like a very fine cornmeal, almost, in terms of the flavor. It's fantastic in scones and bread dough. I don't use it in every product. I do use it a lot in cinnamon rolls, scones and cookies.
Q: Are you ever worried that someone's going to stumble upon your secret flour blend for your cupcakes?
A: No, I mean, I give away some of the secrets in my cookbook. I have some "Cupcake Wars"-winning cupcakes in the book, we have our cake mixes, and I'm constantly coming up with new ideas. ... I will always have more ideas than what's in the book.
Q: What is your process like for coming up with something new?
A: I come up with a lot of stuff in the shower. I dream a lot of flavors. I'll wake up thinking, "Okay, I want to do a lemon cream cheese crumb bar with blackberries." You know, that type of thing. I'll wake up and I'll have this idea, and I'll say, "Hey, here are the components." And I'll build it from the bottom up.
Q: Do you think people are becoming more open to different food choices?
A: I do, and I think people are becoming more interested in what they're putting in their bodies and the connection between what they eat and how they feel, and they're paying attention to that. And I think all of that has helped us.

Second half is a tough one for Bucs
KINGSTON Aaron Lawrence has Davids size and Goliaths heart and it shows on the basketball court. The Kingston High Schools varsity boys basketball player, all 5 feet, 5 inches of him, managed to sink 18 points during the Buccaneers home 86-48 loss to Fife (Tacoma) on Jan. 8.
And yes, he always plays like that.
The game was close at the half, with the Bucs leading 31-30. In the second half, the Fife Trojans dominated, outscoring them 56 to 17.
Its been a rocky first year for the Bucs, who have started with a 0-8 record and are still searching for that first elusive win. For now, Coach Tim Olson is satisfied with his teams continuous progress. He saw major headway in what he described as a really intense practice prior to the game.
Were just beginning to understand the roles on the team. Were struggling with consistency, he said.
He thinks the key to their first victory will be playing strong until the last buzzer.
Its a 32-minute game. We played well for 16 minutes, he said.
It will also help matters to have senior guard Jack Clearman back on the court. Clearman had to sit out a majority of Tuesday nights game with an ice pack on his hand. Clearman, whos been battling a thumb injury all year, started the game, but his thumb was bothering him so badly that he had to be benched after scoring only three points.
Hes taking things day-to-day, Olson said.
While the Bucs are still struggling to find their groove on the court, there is one area that theyve got down pat: they play with heart.
Ive never once questioned their intensity or heart. I know theyre giving me everything theyve got, Olson said.
Lawrence is a prime example of a player with heart.
He plays a lot bigger than he is, Olson said of the scrappy sophomore. He has the heart of a lion.
Lawrence doesnt see his height as a disadvantage on the court. To him, theres no difference between him and the Fife players, no matter the shortest Fife player on the roster towered a full six inches above Lawrence.
I just come out ready to play. I play as if all people are as small as me, he said.
On the other hand, being smaller does lend a certain stealth quality Lawrence readily takes advantage of.
I can weave through people easier, he said.

New year, new hope for SU women's team
By Chris Wagner / The Post-Standard
October 16, 2009, 7:14PM
Unlike last year's media day, there were no grandiose predictions of undefeated seasons and national championships. But that doesn't mean Syracuse women's basketball coach Quentin Hillsman is down on his team.
Conversely, the fourth-year coach sees a 16-player roster that is among the strongest and deepest in his short tenure. It's also 100 percent healthy – a far cry from last year's injury-plagued squad.
"I feel that we have a complete team," Hillsman said Friday at the unveiling of his 2009-10 team in the shiny new Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center. "We have very good point guard players, very good wing players and very good post players. We're going to be very deep – probably as deep as we've been since the year (2008) we went to the NCAA Tournament – and that's what's very encouraging."
There's evidence to support his optimism.
The team returns four starters from last year's 17-15 squad that made it to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. They are led by seniors Nicole Michael and Vionca Murray and juniors Erica Morrow and Tasha Harris.
The bench, which was a weak point all last season, will be bolstered by speedy point guard Lynnae Lampkins, power forward Troya Berry and all-purpose player Juanita Ward. All will be suiting up for their second seasons for the Orange, with Ward, a junior college transfer, in her senior year.
The keys to the team's success, however, may be Liverpool High School graduate Tyler Ash and a host of newcomers.
Hillsman has currently pegged Ash, a 6-foot-2 wing player, into his starting lineup. This comes after a freshman year when Ash struggled to transition to the college game while trying to learn up to four positions.
Hillsman said Ash, who averaged 9.4 minutes, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 points per game last year, has made enormous progress in the off-season. He credited most of it to maturity.
"I think her mentality has changed," he said. "I think her attention for detail has changed. I think her respect for the college basketball game has changed. When you dominate so much (in high school), I think you think you'll come into the college game and do the same thing."
The shoes Ash will be filling are those of Chandrea Jones, who graduated as the program's all-time leading scorer. But Hillsman is confident the local product will succeed.
"Tyler is such a gifted basketball player," he said. "I've seen her play four positions. And when you talk about a player that can put the ball on the floor, a player that can really shoot the ball and can defend two to three positions on the floor, I think she is going to do a very good job filling some of the rebounding voids and scoring voids for us."
The other biggest change on the team is the depth it now has in the post. Last year, Murray, who was hobbled by a strained calf muscle much of the season, was the team's lone true post player. Now she will have help with the arrival of solid-bodied freshmen Kayla Alexander (6-4), of Ontario, Canada, and Shakeya Leary (6-3), who played scholastically for New York City powerhouse Murry Bergtraum High School.
Alexander may be the biggest impact newcomer.
"Kayla is tremendous," Hillsman said. "She can run with some of the guards. When you see her on the floor and see what she does, it's game-changing."
The coach also cited freshman wing players Carmen Tyson-Thomas (Philadelphia) and Elashier Hall (Greenbelt, Md.) as players who will receive ample playing time.
But the core of the scoring duties may still fall to the veteran, two-headed threat of Nicole "Slinky" Michael (14.7 ppg) and Erica Morrow (15.7 ppg). Michael, a senior, is within range of leaving as SU's all-time leading scorer and rebounder.
"It's exciting for us and exciting for her to be able to hopefully reach these accomplishments and to get some of the credit she rightfully deserves," Hillsman said.

DURHAM, N.H. -- Kate Keagins (Bay Shore, N.Y.) tallied five points and Shaunna Kaplan (Framingham, Mass.) recorded her 100th career goal in the University of New Hampshire's 17-8 victory against Binghamton University in America East women's lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at Memorial Field.
UNH, which has won five of its last six games, improved to 9-4 overall and 3-1 in America East. New Hampshire's 1985 women's lacrosse team was honored at halftime in recognition of the 25th anniversary of winning the NCAA national championship; 13 of 18 student-athletes from that team, as well as head coach Marisa Didio, were in attendance.
Binghamton lost its third consecutive game to fall to 1-11 overall and 0-4 in the league.
Kaplan entered the game with 98 career goals and reached the 100-goal milestone with the second of her two goals in the game, which gave the Wildcats an 8-3 lead at 4:34 of the first half. She also had an assist for a total of three points.
Keagins finished with two goals and a career-high three assists for a game-high five points; the UNH America East Player of the Game also have a team-high five caused turnovers and one ground ball.
Five other 'Cats netted multiple goals. JoJo Curro (Amherst, N.H.) scored three goals -- and also had an assist -- while Allie Bratton (Windermere, Fla.), Amber Casiano (South Windsor, Conn.), Ilana Cohen (Andover, Mass.) and Allie Duclos (South Windsor, Conn.) each scored two goals. Duclos was also credited with a career-high two assists to finish with a personal best of four points.
Kate Gunts (Wilton, Conn.), in her first start since March 9, made nine saves and that included six in the second half. Curro, Kaplan and Jess Cassotis (York, Maine) each recorded three ground balls while Duclos had a team-high four draw controls.
Binghamton was led offensively by Beth Moore (4g) and Kimberly McGeever (3a). Moore was credited with six ground balls, six caused turnovers and three draw controls and was the Bearcats' America East Player of the Game. Emily Miller played the initial 43:58 in goal and exited the game with the Bearcats trailing 14-5; she made six saves. Erin O'Donnell played the final 16:02 and also finished with six saves.
New Hampshire quickly built a 3-0 lead with three goals in just under two minutes. Casiano opened the game scoring at 28:09 on a low shot from the left wing. A pair of Bearcats' failed clear attempts -- BU committed 16 turnovers on 26 overall clear attempts -- led to the next two UNH goals. Kaplan corralled a ground ball in the offensive zone and drove down the left side of the fan for a goal at 27:01. Moments later, a Keagins' stick check forced a turnover along the right sideline. She quickly advanced the ball to Jenny Simpson (New Canaan, Conn.) and her pass set up Cohen's high shot that sailed into the goal at 26:12.
The visitors called time out at that point and scored three of the next five goals to pull within 5-3. Liz Zuern, off a feed from McGeever, scored the first of her two goals of the day to trim the deficit to 3-1.
Duclos, on a free position from the top-left of the fan, fired a shot into the upper-right corner to reestablish a three-goal advantage, 4-1, at 18:07.
Moore lifted the Bearcats within two goals on a shot from the top-left of the fan at 16:57, but UNH scored 70 seconds later to extend the lead to 5-2. Keagins, who was awarded free position on the top-right of the fan, quickly passed the ball low in front to the cutting Simpson, who scored from close range.
BU's Kristen Stone scored on a high free-position shot from the top of the fan at 14:06 to advance the score to 5-3.
UNH scored the next three goals to build an 8-3 advantage. A quick sequence of passes set up Curro's goal at 11:52. From behind the net, Simpson passed the ball to the right wing, where Kaplan immediately found Curro in the middle of the fan for a 1-timer into the net and a 6-3 lead. Duclos struck again at 10:15 when she maneuvered from the middle of the fan to the right and then cut back to the center before placing a high shot inside the right post. Kaplan then netted her milestone 100th career goal at 4:34 on a drive down the middle of the fan and a shot high on the right side of the net.
Binghamton closed within 8-4 at 2:48 when McGeever set up Moore's second goal of the game.
Ally Stager (Reading, Mass.) was awarded a free position in the waning seconds of the first half and, from the top-right of the fan, fired a shot inside the near post to give the 'Cats a 9-4 lead heading into halftime.
UNH scored the opening four goals of the second half to build a 13-4 advantage. Bratton collected a ground ball off BU's failed clear and scored an unassisted goal at 25:18. The Wildcats scored the next goal in transition as Keagins, on the top-right side, moved the ball diagonally across the fan to set up Casiano's goal from point-blank range at 20:57. UNH then pushed the lead to 12-4 when Cohen one-timed Duclos' pass from behind the net into the cage and Bratton's second unassisted goal of the half capped the four-goal spurt at 19:12.
Moore, once again on a pass from McGeever, made the score 13-5 at 16:43. Keagins converted Duclos' pass into a goal 41 seconds later to push UNH's advantage to 14-5. Allie Sabitus cut from the left side and doubled back to score a Bearcats' goal at 10:30 that lifted the visitors within 14-6.
Curro scored an unassisted goal in traffic in the middle of the fan at 8:20 and then set up Keagins' goal at 7:10 to give the Wildcats a double digit lead, 16-6. Curro one-timed a pass from Keagins for a goal at 1:55.
Moore and Zuern scored free-position goals in the last minute of play -- at 28 and 14 seconds, respectively -- to close the scoring.
UNH finished with the edge in shots (33-29), ground balls (24-19) and draw controls (16-10) while also committing fewer turnovers (30-32).
Simpson extended her point-scoring streak to eight games, which is the longest active streak on the team. Kaplan has a point in six straight and Keagins has scored a goal each of the last six games. Bratton has scored two goals five of the last six games.
New Hampshire returns to action April 24 at home against the University at Albany. The Senior Day game begins at 1 p.m.

MONSON - The School Committee will open up its search for an interim superintendent to external candidates, with the hope that the position will be filled by Dec. 1.
The committee, which met Wednesday night at Quarry Hill Community School, discussed the timeline for an interim replacement for Superintendent Patrice L. Dardenne, who will retire at the end of the year.
Committee Chairman Jeffrey D. Lord said after the position was posted within the School Department, one internal applicant applied, and three letters of interest from outside candidates also were submitted.
The names of the individuals who applied were not disclosed because they are not at the finalist stage.
Committee member Joel Keller said the committee needs to thank the internal candidate for applying.
External applicants will be accepted until Oct. 5, and the committee scheduled a meeting for Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. to review the applications.
"We'll see how it goes once Oct. 9 happens," Lord said.
The committee did not make a decision regarding how it will address the search for a permanent superintendent.
Dardenne was hired in 2009; he has said he wants to pursue new opportunities in his retirement.

- Making the internet work for you
- Step 1 – Before you connect
- Step 2 – Making the connection
- Step 3 – Register your computer and other devices
- Step 4 – Using the connection
Making the internet work for you
Welcome to the University of Washington! We are glad that you are here, and we want to help you get connected to all the computing resources that the University provides to you. This guide is designed to make connecting your computer to the UW network as painless as possible. UW Housing includes UW residence halls and UW-owned apartments.
Your UW Housing room is equipped with access to the high-speed campus Ethernet network. This gives you fast access to email, UW Libraries, the MyUW website, UW class pages and information on the Web anywhere in the world. To connect your computer to the campus network, you need:
- If you are in a residence hall that does not have UW-IT managed wireless, you will need a computer with a 10/100/1000Mbit/s Ethernet port and a cat-5 Ethernet cable.
- If you are in a residence hall where UW-IT provides wireless service you will need a computer with a wireless card that supports any combination of 802.11a/b/g/n.
- Software available on the Securing Your Computer page provides all the virus protection, terminal session and file transfer software you need to securely connect to and use UW computing and networking services.
- If you are living in a triple, the room may not have enough wall jacks to provide one connection per person. For these rooms, you can check out a hub from the residence hall desk.
It is important that you know that the Internet is not always a safe place. Having high-speed access to the Internet is an important advantage for you in your studies. However, it also means that others have high-speed access to YOUR computer, YOUR files, and YOUR data! You need to take the steps in this document to protect yourself against viruses and other "bad" software being installed on your computer.
Step 1 – Before you connect
There are important steps that you should take BEFORE you get a working network connection. You'll want to be sure your computer has:
- Working, and up-to-date, antivirus software installed
- All the available operating system updates installed
- Been configured to automatically KEEP these up to date
The Secure your computer page provides all the virus protection, terminal session and file transfer software you need to securely connect to and use UW computing and networking services.
Step 2 – Making the connection
Connecting to the UW-IT managed wireless network
If you live in a new residence hall or one that has been newly renovated, you will be able to connect to the UW-IT managed wireless network. To do this, you will need to have a computer with a wireless card that supports any combination of the 802.11a/b/g/n protocols.
- StepsActions
- Turn your computer on and wait for it to boot up.
- Make sure your wireless is activated and then view the available wireless networks. You should see the "University of Washington" wireless network.
- Select the "University of Washington" and set the following properties.
- No authentication
- No encryption
- Connect automatically when this network is in range
- DO NOT select "Connect to a more preferred network if available"
- At this point your computer should make the connection to the UW wireless network and you should be able to reach UW resources.
- To reach off-campus resources proceed to "Register your computer and other devices."
Residents are not permitted to have their own wireless routers in areas where there is UW-IT managed wireless available. See the Wireless Routers in UW Residence Hall Rooms page.
Connecting to the wired network in your room
|Only use the wired network if the "UW Housing" wireless network is unavailable or if your computer does not support wireless.
Plug the Ethernet cable into the ORANGE wall jack.
- StepsActions
- You DO need a cat-5 Ethernet cable long enough to reach from your computer to the Ethernet wall jack. It will look like a fat phone cable. Cables can be purchased at the University Book Store.
- Your computer DOES need a functional Ethernet (10/100/1000Mbit/s) port.
- With your computer powered OFF, plug in one end of the drop cable to the ORANGE colored wall jack (see above) and the other to your computer's Ethernet port. Be careful here, it is probably your one big chance for a mistake. The OTHER wall jack is for your telephone, and won't work for Ethernet, even though the cable might fit.
- Turn on your computer, and start browsing the Web!
If this did not work, then
- StepsActions
- Check to make certain that you have plugged your Ethernet cable into the ORANGE wall jack.
- Check to make certain that you have plugged your Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your computer and not into your modem port.
- Check that your Ethernet port is configured properly. If you've previously configured your computer's Ethernet port to use something other than the usual defaults, you might have to set it back to the defaults. The most important setting is to "use DHCP" or "Obtain IP address automatically." You should NOT use a network IP address that you have previously typed in from some other network (like AOL or Comcast), nor should you guess at an IP address. Also, be sure to select "Obtain DNS server address automatically."
- If you are living in a triple resident room, you won't have enough wall jacks to provide one per resident. In this case a "hub" can be used and should be available at your Residence Hall desk.
If you are still having problems, then
- StepsActions
- Check to make certain that your Ethernet cable is not defective. Try using a different Ethernet cable.
- Very rarely, but it happens, you might have a bad Ethernet port on your computer. You should check your warranty and have your computer serviced.
- If you get stuck, don't hesitate to telephone the UW Information Technology Service Center at 206-221-5000.
Step 3 – Register your computer and other devices
Once you have a connection working, you will be able to connect to UW websites such as the UW Home Page. However, when you try to connect to an external website (such as Google ), you will be asked to register the device that is using Wi-Fi or connecting to the wall jack (usually your computer).
- StepsActions
- Enter a URL to some site external to the UW (such as Google ).
- You will be prompted to enter your UW NetID and password. Doing so will register your UW NetID as the owner of the computer, as identified by its hardware address (also known as the MAC address, it is a unique number identifying that specific device).
- For most computers, the process will detect your hardware address automatically. For some devices that you intend to plug into your wall port, you will need to find their hardware address yourself and manually enter it.
- Until this step is successfully completed, anyone using the wireless router (also called a Wireless Access Point or WAP) will only be able to access on-campus sites.
- If there is no UW-IT managed wireless in your room and you are setting up a wireless router see the Wireless Routers in UW Residence Hall Rooms page.
- You can now use the computer to access Internet sites on- campus and beyond.
Step 4 – Using the connection
Confirm that you have completed STEP 1 and that you have antivirus software installed, active, up-to-date, and configured to automatically update.
Confirm that you have configured your computer itself to perform automatic updates of the operating system:
If you are running Microsoft Windows, then you might also want to install an antispyware program and regularly scan for spyware.

President Barack Obama will visit the New Orleans area on Friday, Nov. 8, for what a White House official described as "an event on the economy."
The official said Obama will discuss "the importance of taking measures to grow the economy and create jobs by increasing our exports."
The White House did not immediately release more details.

Here's a solid example of New Orleans citizens pooling together to get an explanation.
Residents of the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods, just north of the French Quarter, inundated the Metropolitan Crime Commission with e-mails calling for an investigation into the New Orleans Police Department's 5th District.
The e-mails are a direct result of an Aug. 5 hit-and-run that left a resident, David Gordin, seriously injured and in the hospital. The driver left the scene, but not before Gordin's friend and business partner, Rhonda, took down the man's license plate number.
Rhonda, who asked that her full name not be disclosed, said she called 911 when the accident happened and later reported the incident several times to 5th District NOPD officers. She also spoke with the department's lone hit-and-run officer, Lucien Sunseri.
In between waiting for return phone calls, she happened to spot the driver in her neighborhood and even followed the person, upon the NOPD's suggestion, to find out where he lives, Rhonda said.
In her version, the police did ask her to identify the driver, but she did not feel comfortable doing so at that time because officers told her they would not take him into the station.
"I don't know why the police are here if they're not here for me," Rhonda said.
That is the end of the story, for now. Gordin is mostly bed-ridden and will require rehabilitation as soon as his limbs and doctors allow, she said. To date, police have not interviewed Gordin and no arrest has been made in his case.
In her frustration, Rhonda encouraged residents Aug. 19 through a Marigny-Bywater listserve to e-mail the Metro Crime Commission (MCC) with their concerns.
That same day, MCC's John Humphries told NOLA.com he'd already received dozens of e-mails. By Tuesday, Aug. 26, MCC President Raphael Goyeneche told the site his organization received "tons," with a total count surpassing 100.
"We get stuff that gets referred to us all the time, but very rarely with this type of volume," Goyeneche said. "Look at the work we've been doing for years in Mandeville (relating to city government waste). We haven't gotten this type of response from the Mandeville issue."
The non-profit, New Orleans-based citizen watch dog group has forwarded the e-mails and other information to NOPD Superintendent Warren Riley and City Council members Jackie Clarkson and James Carter, whose district includes the Marigny-Bywater. Clarkson and Carter were not immediately available for comment.
The New Orleans Police Department's Public Integrity Bureau would not speak about the case without approval first from the New Orleans City Attorney's office.

We will never know how it feels to be alive
To have stars in the sky form symbols that show me how to survive
I'll never learn the code to break down fear
I'd bring about the end of the world to be sure you were here with me
Heaven holds nothing that I need to know
Now the sky is breaking down, falling just for show
To reverse this inversion would turn everything inside out
I'd tear apart time and space to know what they're about
We will never know how it feels to die in our dreams
To rip the wings off angels to show them, things aren't what they seem
I'll never know why it hurts so much to care
I'd bring about the end of the world to be sure you are here with me

Yeah, I know, I should be focusing on the campaigns or the politics of handing $700 billion in taxpayers money over to Wall Street, but I do love Top 10 lists.
So I couldn't resist this one, from the Congress for New Urbanism, of the top 10 freeways that ought to be demolished and replaced with surface boulevards. No. 1 on the list: Seattle's Alaskan Way Viaduct. All I can say is that, here in Portland, we got rid of our highway on the West side of the Willamette River years ago and replaced it with Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Seems to have worked out okay.

The Martian dust storm provides one of the most spectacular examples of transient meteorological phenomena in the solar system. While most Martian dust lifting events are local in scale, tens to hundreds of kilometers, some are regional storms thousands of kilometers in size, and a few have been observed to initiate global dust storms that shroud the entire planet. Large dust storms represent the most dramatic component of the Martian dust cycle - one of the three main cycles determining the climate on Mars. They can generate significant perturbations of the global climate, increasing mid-level air temperatures by tens of degrees Kelvin. These storms can be categorized as major storms. Observations before Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) indicate that classical major dust storms originate in the southern hemisphere during the "dust storm season" of southern spring and summer (Ls=180-360). It was suspected that the dynamics of major dust storms involve feedback between the atmospheric circulation and radiative heating of lofted dust. However, there has been little success in providing mechanisms to explain the origin and/or transience of major storms. Recently, a new category of major dust storm has been identified, with dust lifting initially associated with northern-hemisphere fronts, and involving flushing of dust from the northern to southern hemisphere. Such "flushing" dust storms are mainly observed in mid northern fall and mid northern winter. We present a mechanism for the development of these storms, including natural explanations for diurnal, seasonal, and interannual variability of the storms. Dust flushing from the northern hemisphere requires coherence and cooperation between three major dynamical systems: baroclinic storms, thermal tides, and the Hadley circulation. Once dust is flushed into the southern hemisphere, accumulation of dust in the Hadley convergence zone will greatly increase the strength of the circulation, leading to major dust storm. These results provide not only a coherent picture of major storm development and transience, but also an example of cooperative interaction of Mars' major dynamical systems over planetary length-scales.

Several years ago, I was introduced to Boxing Day by a Canadian friend who was visiting during the Christmas holidays.
He explained that the holiday is observed on Dec. 26 in Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It was said that the holiday developed because servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but they were given the following day off.
Employers would present them with gift boxes filled with money as a "thank you" for work performed during the year. (Perhaps it was the forerunner of giving extra holiday tips to hairdressers, barbers, doormen, porters and others who perform personal services throughout the year.)
Because Dec. 26 is the feast of St. Stephen, some historians tell us that the poor boxes in churches were opened on that day, and the coins were distributed to the needy.
Currently, the day is associated with horse races and football games in the United Kingdom, and it's also a day for visiting friends and family.
Our Canadian friend explained that during those visits, it's not uncommon to be offered leftovers from Christmas Day celebrations.
"I especially like to make pork or turkey sandwiches with the leftover cranberry sauce," he said, laughing.
Hey, I'm the queen of leftovers. Whenever I have part of a pork roast hanging around the fridge, I make a pot of pork and turnip fricassee.
Leftover turkey goes into tetrazzini or gumbo. Cranberry sauce is wonderful on biscuits, cornbread or toasted French bread. Leftover white rice and the gravy from the pork roast make a delicious rice dish.
Pork and turnip fricassee
Makes 4 to 6 servings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup chopped yellow onions
¼ cup chopped green bell peppers
¼ cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 pound turnips, peeled and cubed (about 2 cups)
¾ pound cooked pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Combine the oil and flour in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, make a dark brown roux. Add the onions, bell peppers and celery. Season with the salt and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the turnips, pork and the broth. Stir to mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from heat, add the green onions and serve over cooked white rice.
Turkey tetrazzini
Makes about 4 servings
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ cups chicken broth (about)
1 (4-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, undrained
2 tablespoons chopped pimientos
2 cups cooked, chopped turkey or chicken
6 ounces cooked and drained spaghetti or fettuccine
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a skillet, combine the butter and flour over medium heat and stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth. Add the salt and black pepper. Slowly add the broth, stirring until the mixture thickens. Add the mushrooms and the pimientos. Stir to combine.
Lightly oil a two-quart casserole. Make alternate layers of turkey, spaghetti, mushroom sauce and cheese. Sprinkle the top with the bread crumbs. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Serve immediately.
The gravy from pork roast is a favorite of mine, but you also can use gravy from roasted turkey or chicken in this next recipe. Skim off any excess grease before using. (Put the container in the fridge and when the gravy is chilled, simply spoon off the semi-hardened grease that has risen to the surface.)
Mama's pork gravy and rice
Makes 6 servings
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice
2 celery ribs (with leaves), chopped
8 bacon slices, fried crispy, drained and crumbled
1 cup sliced white button mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped pimientos
¼ cup chopped green bell peppers
¼ cup chopped green onions
½ cup (or more as needed) pork gravy
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan over low heat, adding the pork gravy until everything is well moistened. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
A friend brought me a delicious pound cake soaked with rum, and although it was wonderful served with sweetened whipped cream, I used some of it to make a small trifle.
Cut the cake into small cubes and arrange in one layer in the bottom of a deep bowl. Make a batch of Jell-O instant pistachio pudding and spoon it over the cubed cake.
Top with whipped cream, toasted pecans and chocolate curls. Cover and keep chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

[[caption-width-right:358:[-Misfit [[TrueCompanions best buddies]], '50s style!-] ]]
->''"You're tearing me ''apart!''"''
-->-- '''Jim Stark'''
Teen drama from TheFifties in which JamesDean, NatalieWood and Sal Mineo deal with {{Angst}}. Notably averts the TeensAreMonsters mindset of the era. The film is directed by Creator/NicholasRay.
Dean is Jim Stark, a TroubledButCute 17-year-old with a messed-up home life. His mother (Ann Doran) prefers to move whenever a problem comes up rather than confront it and his father (Jim Backus) is a HenpeckedHusband who lets her do as she pleases. As a result, the Starks are constantly moving around and have just arrived in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles as the film opens. At his new HighSchool, Jim befriends John "Plato" Crawford (Mineo), an AmbiguouslyGay innocent. Jim immediately finds himself up against Buzz (Corey Allen), the local JerkJock, but takes somewhat more kindly to Buzz's girlfriend Judy (Wood). Needless to say, she later becomes Jim's girlfriend. Most of the movie takes place on a night after a chicken race gone horribly wrong.
There is a "''Rebel Without A Cause'' curse". The film's three main stars (Dean, Wood and Mineo) all met tragic deaths at a young age, Dean before the film even opened.[[note]]They were 24, 43 and 37 years old, respectively, when they met their ends.[[/note]]
!!Provides Examples Of:
* AdultsAreUseless: In some scenes.
* AfterActionPatchUp: Jim's father attempts to patch up his knife fight wounds but Jim runs out quickly again.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Famously with Plato towards Jim, whose interest looks like a PrecociousCrush. WordOfGod is that he told Sal Mineo to look at James Dean "the same way Natalie does" - and there was even a kiss between them scripted.
* BerserkButton: You shouldn't have called him 'chicken.'
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Plato is dead, but Jim's dad vows to be a stronger dad from now on, and Jim's parents seem to be on the road to being better parents.]]
* BlatantLies: Jim responds to his grandmother's line that everything will be fine with...
--> "Now, granny, if you tell any more lies like that, you're gonna turn to stone."
* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler:Being only implied to be gay doesn't protect Plato from this trope.]]
* ChewingTheScenery: Jim. "You're tearing me ''apart!''"; "I got the bullets!" Everyone else occasionally chips in as well. Of note is Judy's reaction when [[MundaneMadeAwesome the phone rings]].
* ColorMotif: Red is a reoccuring color throughout the movie. Jim's iconic red jacket and Judy's red lipstick both represent their disconnection with society and lack of strong role models. Theres even a subtle case with Buzz right before the game of chicken that [[spoiler:leads to his death.]] Before they do it, Jim asks Buzz something the lines of "Why are we doing this?" and Buzz, responding with something along the lines of "What else is there to do?" opens his jacket up while shrugging, and you can see the inside is red showing they are NotSoDifferent.
* CoolCar: Jim drives a 1949 Mercury Coupe.
* CoolLoser: ''James Dean'' is a high school outcast.
* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Jim can be counted on to do the opposite of anything an adult says. Now, if his putz of a father was strong enough to fend off his wife, his son might be capable of being a respectable member of adult society -- but not in this lifetime.
* CosmicHorror: The Planetarium sequence is entirely filled with this. The light show and cold scientist voice assures the young audience that the universe is vast and empty and human lives and civilization is meaningless in the long run.
-->'''Plato''': Tell me Jim, will the end of the world come at night time?
-->'''Jim Stark''': No, at dawn.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Jim is portrayed as a violent and menacing, if not downright ''villainous'', figure in the promotional posters, no doubt to capitalize on the fact that AllGirlsWantBadBoys. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. See NiceGuy for more details.
* CreatorCameo: Creator/NicholasRay is the doctor who appears at the end.
* CymbalBangingMonkey: Jim is seen playing with one during the opening credits.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Possibly of teen delinquency films of TheFifties and also the generation gap between the "Greatest Generation" and the "Baby Boom" though neither of the terms existed at the time. Showing that children who live under the shadow of the atomic bomb and a formless universe and the lack of a great cause to fight war, no longer quite connect to their parents generation. (Though really Jim's generation should be the "Silent Generation," who experienced WWII in childhood.)
* {{Delinquents}}: The leads aren't this, but rather just misunderstood by their parents and struggling for their own identity. The gang meanwhile are a straighter example, although Buzz gets a line that says they do what they do mainly because they're bored.
* DysfunctionJunction: American families are dysfunctional, teenage gangs are dysfunctional, and the alternative idea of community of friends where Jim, Judy and Plato briefly engage for a few hours falls apart in confusion and mayhem because HumansAreFlawed. ''Rebel Without A Cause'' anticipated both TheSixties and the end of the sixties.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Jim, Judy, and Plato are all hauled in by the cops at the same time, with their interviews revealing their problems at home.
* {{Existentialism}}: ''Rebel'' was one of the few mainstream American films to explore this concept. The Planetarium sequence entirely revolves around this. The universe is [[CosmicHorrorStory vast and empty, Earth is just a tiny part of this unfathomable vastness, and if and when the world ends, it will not be missed in the wider cosmos]], AdultsAreUseless and children more or less have to turn to each other to form their own community, first in self destructive gang fights, and later a community of friends that still end up falling apart because of their own confusion and jealousy.
-->'''Jim Stark''': If only I had one day in my life where I didn't feel confused, where I felt like I belonged.
* GameOfChicken: Between Buzz and Jim. The game (called "chickie run") is to drive towards the edge of a cliff and see who will jump out first.
* HenpeckedHusband: Mr. Frank Stark, Jim's dad.
* InNameOnly: Other than the title, the film nothing to do with the 1944 nonfiction book ''Rebel Without a Cause: The Hypnoanalysis of a Criminal Psychopath''. The producers liked the title and took nothing else.
* InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: Jim's class goes takes a field trip to a planetarium, where they listen to a lecture about how small and unimportant Earth is in the grand scheme of things.
-->In all the immensity of our universe and the galaxies beyond, the earth will not be missed. Through the infinite reaches of space, the problems of man seem trivial and naïve indeed, and man existing alone seems himself an episode of little consequence.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: The kid that [[spoiler: Plato shoots]] in the mansion. Sure, he was [[spoiler: shot in the chest]]. He was also trying to help corner and possibly kill Plato and/or Jim.
* KnifeFight: Between Buzz and Jim. One of the earliest depictions, at least in a delinquent youth context.
* LapPillow: Jim and Judy, as seen in the above screenshot.
* MenDontCry: Averted in the ending. Jim bursts into tears in his father's arms after [[spoiler: Plato is shot by the cops]].
* NiceGuy: In stark contrast to how to promotions made him out to be, Jim is a decent, gentle, sensitive and kindhearted boy who unhesitatingly befriends, and stands up for the meek Plato on his first day of school, takes care of people who have shown him kindness, and has enough of a conscience left that he practically leapt to take responsibility for the death of his drag-race opponent... Though still narcissistic enough to expect to cut to the front of the line at the precinct.
* NobodyCallsMeChicken: Calling Jim chicken is is guaranteed BerserkButton.
* NoNameGiven: Judy's last name is not revealed.
* ParentalAbandonment: Plato's father left when he was still an infant, and his mother is always going on out of town trips, leaving him in a [[{{Mammy}} black housekeeper]]'s care.
* ParentalIncest: Subverted with Judy and her father, in that the attempts to deny even the appearance of incest destroy the normal expressions of affection. He refuses to show affection for Judy, stating that she's "getting too old for that kind of stuff," and when she kisses him, he slaps her.
* PoliceAreUseless: Played with. Detective Ray Fremerick appears to be the OnlySaneMan at the start, and treats the delinquent teens with respect. Jim even goes to [[spoiler: try and report Buzz's death]] to him for this reason. The police who show up at the house later in the film however make things worse [[spoiler: by stunning Plato, causing him to run out. Not knowing that his gun is unloaded, they shoot at him]].
* PopTheTires: Buzz does it to Jim' car with a knife to provoke Jim. This eventually leads to a KnifeFight.
* PrettyInMink: Jim's mother and grandmother wear mink wraps.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Ray Fremick, whose first name is the last name of the film's director, Nicholas Ray. Coincidence? You decide.
* RebelRelaxation: TropeNamer.
* RevisedEnding: An alternative ending was shot in which Plato falls from the tower of the planetarium.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Plato and Jim.
* ShirtlessScene: Jim gets one while he's changing after his knife fight.
* ShootTheDog: In his first appearance, Plato is at the police station for literally shooting puppies.
* SleepingSingle: Judy's parents, as you can see [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_v27hJrrgr_A/SOa74n_q6sI/AAAAAAAAUO4/G4gUZsiSrd4/s1600-h/T-226553.jpg here]].
* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler: Plato.]]
* TeensAreMonsters: But only because there are no adults to properly guide them. Or as the film shows, the teenagers have unrealistic expectations about their parents which they cannot really fulfill, and the parents are forced to embody that unrealistic concept because of the generation gap. It's about people realizing that HumansAreFlawed.
* TenderTears: Jim weeping [[spoiler: for the death of Plato.]]
* TokenTrio: The three leads.
* TrueCompanions: Jim, Judy, and Plato, as seen in the above screen shot.
* UnbuiltTrope: This film was critical of the TeensAreMonsters trope right as it took form in TheFifties. It's also a good deal more serious than the teenage movies that followed.
* WorthyOpponent: Deliberately parodied in this legendary exchange between Buzz and Jim:
-->'''Buzz''': I like you.
-->'''Jim''': Then [[LampshadeHanging why are we]] doing this?
-->'''Buzz''': You've got to do ''[[ForTheLulz some]]''[[ForTheLulz thing]].
* YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb

Kibbutz Merom Golan
Merom Golan Tourism - Kibbutz Merom Golan
Kibbutz Merom Golan is situated in the northern part of the Golan Heights and was the first Israeli settlement founded on the Golan, on the 14th of July 1977, following the Six Day War. Merom Golan was established by young people from older, established kibbutzim who came to settle Merom Golan and the Golan Heights. The establishment of Kibbutz Merom Golan was the lever that propelled forward modern day settlement of the Golan.
Today, some 600 kibbutz members and residents live on Merom Golan, on the slopes of Mount BenTal at a height of 1171 meters above sea level. To the north of the kibbutz lies the Baron Pool nature reserve and to the south east is Mount Avital Nature Reserve. The name "Merom Golan" in fact refers to its geographical location.
Weather: during the summer months, the weather is cool and comfortable. Autumn is a cold period of the year and during the winter it is even colder and snow is a regular occurrence. Spring is a joyous time when the whole area bursts into color with flowering wild plants.
Merom Golan is the focal point of the northern Golan. The kibbutz has a resort village, Merom Golan Tourism, with 46 luxurious cabins, 32 ground floor guest rooms, the Gaucho Restaurant, a riding stable, quad bike excursions, and an animal corner, a swimming pool and many arts and crafts activities, studios and galleries.
Kibbutz Merom Golan has a dining room that provides meals to residents of the Kibbutz and guests at the resort. The Kibbutz also hosts the Avital High School and a medical center serving the area. Additionally, there is a dental surgery, an alternative medicine center and a supermarket. The northern branch of the Golan Community Center is situated at Merom Golan and the community enjoys a wide range of recreational and cultural activities, some organized locally and others as part of the Golan Community Center.
Financially, Merom Golan operates in a number of areas:

The Detroit Lions have confirmed that they have signed defensive tackle Grady Jackson to a three-year deal. The 36-year-old Jackson is expected to replace Chuck Darby in the starting lineup and will be used primarily as a two-down run-stopper.
The move was made to improved Detroit's porous run defense; the Lions had the worst-ranked overall defense in the NFL in each of the last two seasons. The signing of Jackson could make Darby expendable because the Lions have several young players who should get a fair amount of playing time.
Lions president Tom Lewand said the Lions will continue to be selective throughout the free-agent process. The Lions, who also will be in the market for a veteran backup quarterback, are continuing talks with several free agent cornerbacks, including Jabari Greer and Chris Carr.

A diode-pumped single-pass amplifier system relying on two grazing-incidence Nd:YVO4 slabs was developed to increase the energy of low-repetition-rate pulses from a decimated low-power cw mode-locked oscillator. Single-pass unsaturated gain up to 1.3×105 was achieved, and amplified pulses of 10-µJ energy and 8.0-ps duration were obtained. Efficient second harmonic generation (SHG) at 532 nm was achieved, as well as traveling-wave parametric conversion in the range 770-1020 nm (signal) and 1110-1720 nm (idler).

From classic white slingbacks to a pair of seriously outré Alexander McQueen sandals, this season's bridal shoes bring the party.
Duchess Kate's lace sleeves may have gotten all the attention at the Royal Wedding, but we also loved the hand-embroidered lace Alexander McQueen pumps she wore. But if "classic princess" isn't really your cup of tea, put an edgy spin on the lace look with one of these naughty-but-nice styles.

DisAbility Connections will have room to expand its selection of medical equipment by purchasing and renovating a former dry cleaning business.
Aided by a $466,000 grant from President Obama's stimulus package, the Jackson nonprofit earlier this year purchased a small brick building across from its facility at 409 Linden Ave.
The nonprofit supports disabled Jackson County residents in their efforts to lead independent and productive lives.
Volunteers were busy working in both buildings late last week with landscaping and clean up work, hoping to complete renovations by the end of June.
Executive Director Lesia Pikaart said the federal grant is spread out over two years, and aside from the renovation work, the money will be used to help retain at least four staff positions and to change those positions from part time to full time.
She said the nonprofit also asked Consumers Energy to complete an energy audit of both buildings. Some of the remaining funds will be used for efficient lighting and insulation.
"We are trying to do things that will have a long-term benefit," Pikaart said.
Lora Bigcraft, the agency's durable medical equipment coordinator, said the funding is welcome and much needed.
The medical equipment "closet" they had been using was small, cramped and packed to the ceiling. A small corner of the room was used by employee Don Keith to fix the equipment when it was brought in.
Bigcraft said Keith makes needed repairs to equipment, especially the motorized wheelchairs. He can take them apart and repair them, or use the remaining working parts from several chairs to create one working wheelchair.
"He can fix anything," she said.
A small garage area adjacent to the closet was used to store the supplies the Jackson Rotary Club uses to build wheelchair ramps.
Once renovations are complete, the equipment in the cramped closet will overflow into the garage area.
Using the garage space will nearly double the agency's storage space, Bigcraft said. Inside, they store beds, wheelchairs, commodes and other medical items.
"We have a lot of hospital beds, and they take up a lot of room," she said.
When people need a piece of equipment, they can rent it from the agency.
In the past, the agency had to get rid of some items because there was no room to keep them, she said.
The Rotary Club supplies will then be moved across the street into the back half of the new building.
The front half of the new building will be called "Fix dis," and it's where Keith will work in a much larger space to repair the medical equipment people donate to disAbility Connections because their family can no longer use it.
"We're very excited," Bigcraft said. "It's going to be awesome."

HARVEST, Alabama - Sparkman senior Chris Merkel pitched a complete game, giving up only one run on three hits to beat No. 4 Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa 3-1 and complete a sweep in the Class 6A semifinal series.
The Senators (38-12), who won 9-0 in the opening game, advanced to the state championship round next week at Montgomery's Riverwalk Stadium against either Baker or No. 7 Spain Park.
"After what happened to me last week in Game Two (a 4-3 loss against Mountain Brook), I just had to come out strong and prove to my team and to everyone that we deserve to be here", said Merkel. "It feels awesome to know that your team has confidence in you and believes in you no matter what you did your last time out."
Sparkman scored two runs in the top of the fourth that turned out to be the difference. With two outs and runners on first and second, Connor Stokes crushed a double to left center that scored Jared Howell and Brock Anderson for a 3-1 lead.
Merkel was lights out the rest of the way, giving up only an infield hit and striking out two of the last three batters in the seventh inning to close out the Patriots (40-12). Stokes finished 3-for-3 and also drove in a second-inning run.
Keith Holcombe was 2-for-2 for Hillcrest. Starter Braxton McFerrin went five innings in the loss, scattering four hits.
In game one, the Senator's bats were red hot, knocking out 12 hits and nine runs. Brock Anderson went the distance for the shutout, striking out six batters.
"It's a lot easier to pitch with a lead like that. You just throw strikes and let your defense do the rest," said Anderson. "I trust in my stuff and my teammates to back me up."
Holcombe went 4-for-4 at the plate but couldn't find his groove on the mound. He gave up seven runs in five innings for the Patriots.
Sparkman head coach Kellen Greer was excited for his team and very pleased with his pitching and defense.
"Pitching and defense make the difference when you get this far and in any game really," he said. "I just told my guys 'Heck of a job.' They are great competitors who have sold out to be the best and now we have two more wins to get in Montgomery next week."

Tonight's a little tricky for interim Knicks coach Mike Woodson.
There are two games left in the season and his team can finish anywhere from sixth in the Eastern Conference to eighth. If New York can beat the Los Angeles Clippers at Madison Square Garden tonight and the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday while the Orlando Magic lose their final two games, then the Knicks would finish sixth, avoiding a potentially devastating first-round matchup with the Chicago Bulls (should they finish eighth) or the Miami Heat (should they finish seventh).
But the Magic are hosting the lowly Bobcats tonight, and that means there's a very good chance that the Knicks won't have any shot at the sixth seed. After all, Michael Jordan's team has lost 21 straight games.
So the question is, should Woodson play for the win tonight and tomorrow night? Or, if he sees that the Magic pull ahead early against the Bobcats, could he let his foot off the gas a bit and rest stars like Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler?
Chandler missed Sunday's win to rest his body but he's definitely going today.
The most-likely scenario is that Woodson will go for the win against the Clippers—Tuesday's practice had a playoff atmosphere and he's maintained that he wants to actively prepare his team for the postseason—and, assuming they do that, let the backups play more on Thursday in Charlotte.
The Philadelphia 76ers can potentially take the seventh seed from the Knicks, but that's all dependent on them winning their final two games and New York losing tonight and tomorrow night. Doug Collins' team has two remaining road games, one against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight and another one in Detroit against the Pistons on Thursday.
And since the Bucks are now out of the playoff picture, it's doubtful they'll put up much of a fight against the 76ers.
The bottom line is, the Knicks players need to win tonight to hopefully get a little rest on Thursday.
Of course, the Clippers are just a game out of the third seed out West, so they still have something to play for as well.
In some good news, Woodson told reporters that he believes Jeremy Lin could return from his torn meniscus should the team make it to the second round.
"I'd like to think if we were able to get out of this first round, he should be ready to for the second round, I would think," Woodson said, as quoted by Barbara Barker of Newsday. "Again, it's not for me to determine that. He's got to come to us along with the doctors and say that the knee feels fine and he's confident that he can cut and do the things he once did then we'll put him back in uniform."
Who's hot: It's been so long since anyone could write this, but Baron Davis s coming off a great game in Sunday's win over the Hawks. He played 31 minutes, scoring 13 points thanks to a 3-of-4 mark on 3-pointers, and he dished out 10 assists. Davis had missed the two previous games with a stomach bug and has been inconsistent this season because of knee, hamstring and back issues. But if that's what a well-rested Baron Davis looks like, Woodson might want to give him a day off before the playoffs start.
Who's not: J.R. Smith is either hot or cold, and over the last two games, he's been cold. Smith made just 7 of 19 field goals and attempted only two free throws over that time. Making matters worse, he had three turnovers in Sunday's win, which is high for a guy who's averaged just 1.3 turnovers per game this season.
Where and when: The 34-30 Knicks and 40-25 Clippers will tip-off just after 8 p.m. on ESPN.

Michigan State guard Russell Byrd has yet to score this season after two games this season coming off a summer spent gaining confidence and getting healthy. Coach Tom Izzo is expected to get the redshirt sophomore more playing time beginning today so the Spartans can begin to look at him as a shooter and reliable option off the bench.
But will Byrd, one of Michigan State's team captains, come through with a breakthrough performance? He said he has improved athletically and defensively since undergoing three surgeries on his foot. Now is the time to see what Byrd can do.
What do you expect Byrd to do when given a chance to play more minutes?

Dear Dr. Gott: For years I have had an ear infection treated with antibiotics and cortisone. My new doctor has prescribed prednisone. The druggist was hesitant to fill this prescription for internal use. Please advise if it is safe for a middle-ear problem.
Dear Reader: Some patients with repeated middle-ear infections (otitis media) suffer from allergies that cause the normal tubes, which vent the middle-ear chambers, to close. This can set the stage for bacteria to grow and cause pain, as well as the possibility for permanent damage. Cortisone (and similar drugs, such as prednisone) may help counteract such an allergy.
While the usual treatment for otitis media is antibiotics, I can understand why your previous physician prescribed cortisone as well - and why your present doctor has chosen to give you prednisone.
Because this is not standard practice, and prednisone can cause side effects (such as diabetes and osteoporosis), I can also understand the pharmacist's reluctance to dispense such a powerful drug.
I do not know whether you need such "double therapy."
Ask your new doctor about this and request that he speak to the pharmacist.
You need to have the situation resolved. Another suggestion: Make an appointment with an ear-nose-and-throat specialist. I think that a second opinion is in order.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my health report, "Ear Infections and Disorders."
Other readers who would like a copy should send a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
Dear Dr. Gott: My 4-year-old daughter has a high level of iron in her blood. I was told at the baby clinic that there is no medicine she can take for her problem. Should I bring her to another facility?
Dear Reader: Yes, you should.
Your daughter may have an iron overload (hemochromatosis).
This is an inherited disorder of iron metabolism.
Because of a genetic abnormality, patients with hemochromatosis store too much iron in their bodies, leading primarily to serious heart and liver diseases.
The diagnosis is made by blood tests.
Treatment consists of phlebotomy (removing excess, iron-rich blood) and chelation (medicine to absorb the extra iron and allow the body to excrete it).
In my opinion, your daughter should be examined by a pediatric hematologist (blood specialist) because - barring a laboratory error - your daughter may need close monitoring and therapy.
Should your daughter be diagnosed with hemochromatosis, I suggest you contact the Iron Overload Diseases Association, 433 Westwind Drive, North Palm Beach, FL 33408-5123, (561) 840-8512, or e-mail them at email@example.com.

Freedom Newspapers
ROSWELL — Without the pressure of playoff possibilities and with any spoils of victory limited to what transpired on Colt Field, the Portales Rams had one of their most dominant performances in recent memory.
The Ram offense controlled the ball and the defense controlled the field in a 39-0 rout over New Mexico Military Institute to give a happy ending to a disappointing season.
"After being in the playoffs for the last three years, and playing for the state championship last season," Portales coach Glen Johnson said, "the kids returning had loads of pressure on them. They came out without any pressure and they showed the kind of football players, the kind of football team they are."
The Colts needed a win and a Lovington loss to claim District 4-3A's second playoff spot, but neither happened. Lovington defeated Ruidoso 72-28 to win the district title and the Ram defense made sure the Colts never got on track.
Portales took a 6-0 lead on the opening drive with a 6-yard run from Chris Carter, then added a quick score when a botched NMMI punt started the next Ram drive on the Colt 15.
Cole Parrish scored on a 2-yard plunge, and the Ram defense took over from that point on. The Colts, averaging 30.9 points, were held to 109 yards of offense.
Senior defensive end Ricky Rivas admitted it got hard at times to keep focused with Portales winning easily, but he said the memory of nearly being shut out by Lovington last week was more than enough motivation.
"We wanted to go out and have some fun since we're not playing for anything," Rivas said. "We wanted to destroy someone, have some fun."
Senior quarterback Seth Clabaugh didn't have jaw-dropping numbers — 179 yards rushing and two scores and 72 yards passing with another touchdown — but he and his teammates strung together several drives and controlled the ball for 28:22.
The Rams punted only once and had one turnover — a fumble by Chris Carter, who relieved Clabaugh at quarterback with 5:30 left in the fourth.
Without the need to be conservative, the Ram offense completes several long passes and gave NMMI coach Dwight Burns a little more than he and his team expected.
"They were better than what we saw on film," Burns said. "Clabaugh connected on some crucial plays to give them momentum."
With Portales' pass defense playing well — junior Tyler Rutherford had three near-interceptions on long passes from Colt quarterback Ryan Najar — the Colts became a one-dimensional team, running the ball even with a huge deficit.
"(Najar) wasn't throwing the ball very well and they weren't protecting him," Burns said, defending his choice to run the ball. "Let (fans) figure out stuff to say Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. They'll have something to say."

Graffiti art for hire
Salem graphic design artist Rustin Rapp creates a mural depicting downtown Salem events and places, such as the Salem Super Cruise and a poker run, on the wooden barricade in front of a building owned by Scott Cahill on East State Street. Cahill commissioned Rapp to paint the graffiti mural as part of Murals of Salem, an organized effort to place murals on Salem buildings. Two additional murals will be done on the old Center building on East Second Street and the Moonstone Massotherapy building, also downtown. Rapp said it's a way to show that not all graffiti is vandalism. The mural will remain until the remodeling of the building is complete. Other murals in Salem include two historical murals by Salem artist Robert Schuck and one by Salem area artist Krista Lowry and her sister Kerry Franzen. (Salem News photo by Mary Ann Greier)

Girl, man hurt in State Route 3 wreck
A 14-year-old girl and a 24-year-old man, traveling in separate vehicles, were injured Tuesday during a State Route 3 collision near the Chico Way exit.
The wreck occurred amidst heavy rains as Daniel R. Wakefield, 24, slowed his 2006 Ford F-350 pickup truck in the southbound lane of the highway and was rear-ended by a 1992 Jeep Cherokee being driven by Jennifer K. Hulse, 36.
Wakefield was hurt in the wreck and transported by medics to Navy Hospital. Also hurt was Rylan Hulse, 14, who was a passenger in the Cherokee and was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the Washington State Patrol. She was transported to Harrison Hospital for treatment.
According to a state patrol collision memo, the cause of the wreck was speeds too fast for conditions on the part of Hulse who will be charged with following too close. The state patrol said that drugs or alcohol did not play a role.
The Ford pickup being driven by Wakefield had reportable damage, but was driven from the scene. The Cherokee also had damage, but was impounded to Bremerton Towing.

BRIDGETON — City council has been trying to get a raise ever since Gov. Chris Christie wiped out a $7,000 health package when he took office.
Despite refusing to take the $3,000 raise himself, Mayor Albert Kelly refused to deny the members of council with a veto.
He vetoed a similar raise last year.
"As long as council said the raise would not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2015, I said it would give the voters a chance to have their say,'' said Kelly, who was operating on no sleep since Sunday night because his church is in charge of supplying volunteers.
"I'm not taking the raise, no way,'' said Kelly. "I've never been a proponent of that.''
The terms of the raise will give council president a raise from $7,500 to $10,500.
The other four council people will all get $3,000 raises to $10,000.
Some have called it a 42 percent raise.
But Councilman Mike Zapolski said it will be 15 years since council's last raise, so it is really isn't a 42 percent hike.
"I don't think anybody here would work 15 years for that,'' he said at the council meeting where it was passed.
Councilman Bill Spence said it would mean more people would be willing to run for office in the city.
"And when Christie took away the health benefits, it meant a $7,000 decrease,'' he said.
The only council person to vote against the raise was Jack Surrency.
It won't matter to him because he is running for county clerk against Republican Gloria Noto in November, so his tenure will be over when the raise takes effect.
Coucnilman Dennis Thompson was absent when the vote was taken, stirring the pot even more.
Had Kelly vetoed the proposal, it would have taken four votes to override him, and Thompson would have been the deciding vote.
Only Kelly knows who he will pick to run on his November slate.
"I haven't talked to council members yet,'' he said last week.
He said he knows that anyone on council he doesn't pick will probably run against him, perhaps as independents.
But no one has even ventured a guess as to who would run against the popular mayor.
Kelly served four years on council in the minority before running for mayor last time.
In doing so, he took both Gladys Lugardo-Hemple, Spence and Thompson off Mayor Jim Begley's ticket.
The second Begley slate was wiped clean.
"I got one check with the health benefits,'' said Lugardo-Hemple, who in mid-term replaced Celeste Riley, now an assemblywoman.
Lugardo-Hemple said it is hard to attend so many fuctions while in office, including fundraisers, when tickets range from $35 to $100.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Catherine Paradiso and Sebastian Franco, both of West Brighton, were recognized as the volunteers of the year by the Staten Island YMCA at the YMCA of Greater New York's 159th Annual General Assembly and Volunteer Recognition Ceremony at the Grand Hyatt, Manhattan.
Ms. Paradiso, who is the chief clinical officer for the Staten Island Physician Practice, was named the Staten Island Volunteer of the Year. Through her leadership of the Staten Island YMCA Counseling Service branch's Committee of Management, the unit has grown to provide programs at the Prospect Park branch.
In addition, its New Americans Welcome Center is reaching out to hundreds of Island immigrants.
The YMCA Counseling Service Branch offers treatment services for adults and teens, prevention services for at-risk youth, and counseling services for children, adolescents and teens who have been affected by a family member's addiction.
Franco, 17, was named the Top Youth Volunteer of the Year.
A member of Leaders Club, Franco has been instrumental in a twice-yearly food drive with the local food pantry, and he's been a driving force in rallying Island teens to speak out and get engaged in their community through Youth & Government and Teens Take the City.
The Staten Island YMCA is dedicated to building healthy and confident children, adults, families and communities. In scores of neighborhoods across the boroughs, the YMCA makes accessible the support and opportunities that empower nearly 57,000 Staten Islanders -- including 23,000 kids and teens -- to learn, grow and thrive.
Supported in part through contributions to the Strong Kids Campaign, the Staten Island YMCA provides membership assistance and scholarships to programs like summer camp, child care and teen activities, so that no one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
