James "Whitey" Bulger finally got his due. The man who was the face of organized crime as head of the Winter Hill gang in South Boston in the 1970s and 1980s was convicted today on numerous racketeering charges, including 11 murders. He'll be sentenced Nov. 13, and could get life in prison.
Bulger, 83, evaded the law for 16 years, after an FBI agent tipped him off to his impending indictment. Bulger was an informer for the FBI, and in Bulger's world that – and not murder – was the ultimate offense. He denied he served the FBI, but there was clearly a relationship between Bulger and the bureau. His brother, William Bulger, rose to prominence in the state, but was forced to resign as president of the University of Massachusetts system after he told a congressional committee investigating the FBI-Whitey Bulger connection that he had received a call from Whitey after he fled the state.
Michael D. Kendall, a former federal prosecutor who investigated some of Bulger's crimes, told the New York Times the relationship between Bulger and the FBI was "the worst case of corruption in the history of the FBI. … a multigenerational, systematic alliance with organized crime, where the FBI was actively participating in the murders of government witnesses, or at least allowing them to occur." Another lawyer called the depth of depravity in Bulger's criminal career "stunning." Extortion, execution-style shootings, the exploitation of the weak and the treachery among friends were all hallmarks of the Bulger reign of terror. And he very nearly got away with it all.
Bulger was reportedly the inspiration for the mobster portrayed by Jack Nicholson in the 2006 film "The Departed." Other movies drawn from Bulger's exploits are in the works, and a TV series based on his role as an informant, "The Blacklist," will debut next month.
It's only fitting that the entertainment industry will feast on the bones of this stone-cold gangster, and cast a harsh light on how the FBI enabled his exploits.

Update: Saginaw Township principals discuss pilot test of national assessment to replace MEAP
SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI — Some Saginaw Township schools are participating in a pilot test of a national assessment that is to replace the MEAP and other state assessments beginning in the 2014-2015 school year.
Corinne Edwards, director of learning, curriculum, instruction and assessment, said Saginaw Township Community Schools was invited to participate in the pilot testing of the Smarter Balanced Assessment this year.
"That pilot testing is going on February and March nationally," she said. "...It actually started last week."
Edwards said schools across the country were selected to participate in the pilot testing based upon demographic information "that the consortium that's putting together the new assessment had in mind."
"We happen to have schools in our district that met that qualification, in terms of the demographics they were looking for," she said. "And we were invited to participate, and so we accepted that invitation."
Third-graders at Hemmeter Elementary School and Arrowwood Elementary School are being tested in English language arts at one of the schools and in math at the other, eighth-graders at White Pine Middle School are being tested in math, and ninth-graders at Mackinaw High School also are being tested in math, she said.
"The Smarter Balanced Assessment will become the national assessment," Edwards said. "No longer will there be a MEAP or a Minnesota education assessment, or whatever California uses.... We're all going to go to one national assessment tool, and that's the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium."
Edwards said the national assessment will give schools a clearer picture of what they should be striving for in terms of student achievement.
"When our students leave our respective districts in Michigan, they're competing nationally with students from across the country, as well as internationally, on their college campuses. And so, I think, it only allows for us to get a clearer vision of the target for which we should be shooting, so that our students can go out and be globally successful."
Also, the assessment is done electronically.
"It will be the first time our students are assessed via the computer," Edwards said. "...No more paper and pencil."
She added, "Although, there is some conversation...(about) every district being ready with technology to be able to administer that test with fidelity. So there are discussions about how that might look on a paper, pencil version, but the long term objective is that that assessment will be taken as a computer-based program."
When asked whether Saginaw Township Community Schools are equipped for a computer-based assessment of all students, Edwards replied, "We are moving in that direction. We are currently working with our district technology plan to assure that by the time it occurs we are ready. By our schools participating in the pilot, it gives us an opportunity to know the level of readiness that we need to be shooting for."
Superintendent Douglas Trombley said the national assessment could provide school districts with meaningful data.
"We're all a little apprehensive in how this is going to eventually play out because we have to be prepared to test all students with fidelity," he said. "...I think this has great opportunity...to provide us with meaningful data so that we can learn and grow as a school district. We just want to make sure that as we work through the process that we're prepared."

Gaming Laptops
How to Choose a Gaming Laptop
The top performers in our review are the Gigabyte P35x v3, the Gold Award winner; the ASUS ROG G751JY, the Silver Award winner; and the Velocity Micro Raptor MX70, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a system to meet your needs, along with details on how we arrived at the ranking of our 10 systems.
Traditionally, PC gaming has been synonymous with bulky tower-style cases and high-end hardware; however, gaming laptops flip this convention around. If you don't need a laptop optimized specifically for gaming, other options are available. On one end of the spectrum, standard gaming PCs have the extra space needed for upgrades, and on the other end ultrabooks feature premium processors and storage options in sleek cases designed for working professionals. Elsewhere, Chromebooks and standard laptops can provide functional web browsing and office work abilities in budget-friendly packages.
With dedicated graphics cards and excellent processors, the best gaming laptops offer superb performance in a portable form factor. While they're generally less modifiable than gaming desktops, laptops have upsides in other areas. If you are at a LAN party or have a gaming area with limited space, gaming laptops can be a flexible alternative for PC gaming.
Gaming laptops are commonly available through two major sources. For mainstream buyers, popular PC manufacturers like Acer and HP have gaming-orientated laptop models that have components like dedicated graphics cards and fast processors. Elsewhere, enthusiast manufacturers have more premium offerings for their laptops, including customizable case finishes and deluxe keyboards. Each purchasing approach varies in the detail customization available for your gaming laptop, but both stress high-performance components that excel for gaming.
Gaming Laptops: How We Tested, What We Found
For our evaluations, we selected base configurations for gaming laptops from top manufacturers at a price point of around $3,500 to ensure consistent comparisons. We also ran laptops through a suite of tests to establish the performance ceiling and build quality of each model.
To measure gaming and graphics performance, we used the synthetic benchmark application 3DMark and the game "BioShock Infinite." In-game tests were done at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and comparable high graphics settings. Also, while games are generally more dependent on a graphics card than processor for performance, processing speed is still important for tasks like file compression or video editing. Using synthetic benchmark Geekbench 3, we evaluated the nongaming abilities of each laptop.
Because gaming laptops have demanding performance requirements, portability is generally less of a concern compared to popular laptop subtypes such as ultrabooks and Chromebooks. Still, a well-designed gaming laptop has reliable build quality. Our primary tests included nit measurements to establish the screen quality and battery stress testing.
Our research found several key points worth considering before you purchase a gaming laptop. Because these laptops use high-end parts, battery life will generally be low compared to most laptops or ultrabooks. In addition, popular gaming laptops rely on NVIDIA's GeForce 900 series of mobile graphics processors. Generally, laptops with the 970M or 980M graphics processors provided exceptional levels of gaming performance compared to similar graphics cards.
Top Ten Reviews seeks, whenever possible, to evaluate all products and services in hands-on tests that simulate as closely as possible the experiences of a typical consumer. Our testing used both manufacturer-provided review units and data from our colleagues at Laptop Mag. The manufacturers had no input or influence over our test methodology, nor was the methodology provided to any of them in more detail than is available through reading our reviews. Results of our evaluations were not provided to the companies in advance of publication.
What Else Is Important in Selecting a Gaming Laptop?
Along with a gaming laptop's graphics performance, several other factors are important to consider before you make your purchase. You can find even more information, by reading our articles on gaming laptops.
Picking the Right Laptop for Your Budget
As with any computer purchase, gaming laptops come in a variety of price tiers. Top gaming laptops can handle Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) gaming without issue, but they also frequently come with a premium price tag. By comparison, cheaper mainstream gaming laptops have components optimized for 1080p gaming, which is comparable to current-generation video game consoles.
With their performance-friendly specifications, good gaming laptops can also double as multitasking computers for processor-intensive applications. The amount of money you invest into a gaming laptop ultimately depends on the level of performance you need from the computer.
Size Considerations Before Your Purchase
Laptops are generally designed for mobility, but there are some unique criteria for gaming laptops. Because gaming laptops need components like fast processors and dedicated graphics cards, they often carry additional bulk. With the exception of optimized ultraportable gaming laptops, many models have an average thickness of around an inch. In addition, they generally weigh around 7 to 10 pounds.
Building a Multitasker with Processor Selection
Gaming laptops feature components tailored for fast graphics performance, but this speed can also be harnessed for other uses. Processors are a significant contributor to professional tasks like video or photo editing. If you want your computer to double as a potential desktop replacement, focus on gaming laptops that offer processor upgrade flexibility.
Gaming Laptops: Our Verdict and Recommendations
All three of our top gaming laptops offer effective gaming performance in portable packages. While it lacks the visual design flair frequently used on most current gaming laptops, the Gigabyte P35x v3, our Gold Award winner, has an excellent graphics card and processor options in a compact package. Elsewhere, the Silver Award winner, the ASUS ROG G751JY, uses its sizable frame to fit in high-performance components that offer desktop-caliber performance. Finally, the Velocity Micro Raptor MX70 wins our Bronze Award because it pairs a stellar base configuration and build quality with flexible upgrade options.
We also recommend the Maingear Pulse and MSI Ghost GS60. Both laptops combine excellent gaming-focused specifications with lightweight dimensions that don't sacrifice portability for performance.

We've editorialized several times in the past year about how the economy has affected Brunswick County families.
From residents losing jobs, to those who are having difficulties making ends meet, many residents have found themselves in need. Some need help with food and clothing; others need help paying bills for life essentials like housing and electricity.
The weather recently has added an additional strain on some of the county's cash-strapped residents.
Not many people are wetting a line right now, since it's just too darn cold for most folks to get out after the fish. There might be a few trout or drum around, but if there are, they're pretty safe. Instead, local anglers are preparing for warmer weather and the inevitable burst of the spring fishing season.
Several years ago, I watched a petite young lady pound balls on a practice tee. Her swing was classic, the balls flew long and straight.
The kid was cute, long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, a wide infectious smile. I had a feeling I'd see her again.
Last week, I did.
Lauren Hunt is still petite with that same winning smile, but she's all grown up now. Done with high school and junior golf, she has graduated from the University of North Carolina, where she played on the women's golf team.

Eight Island wrestlers at Mat Classic
The Mercer Island wrestling program sent a young contingent of seven athletes to the Mat Classic state tournament on Friday and Saturday. Although none of the wrestlers made it to the podium, the experience was invaluable for all of them.
Among the seven were two seniors who achieved one of their major goals by just setting foot onto the Tacoma Dome floor.
Islander senior Graham Horgdal entered the tournament with an injury that limited the motion of his right arm and rendered it useless.
"I haven't been the same since I got injured," said Horgdal. "I don't have much strength."
Despite the distinct disadvantage, Horgdal won his first match 6-4.
"I wanted that first win and that was all that mattered to me," said the 189-pound athlete.
But the stress of the match took its toll on the senior captain as he was pinned during the second round at the 1:17 mark. Horgdal found it hard to get control during his third and final match, losing 6-1 to tie for ninth in state.
"It was my goal to make it to state since my freshman year," said Horgdal. "It was the sweetest to make it my senior year, and it was worth all the pain."
Another senior, David Bowman, who qualified for the tournament was held out for not making weight.
The youngest of the Islanders showed that the future of the team is bright, as two freshmen won matches.
Islander Phil Frazier won his first match at 145 pounds, 7-2. The freshman battled through his second match until he was pinned during the final minute of the third round (5:12). Frazier completed his third match, but lost 6-2 to tie for ninth in state.
Blake Johnson was the only Mercer Island wrestler to earn a pin at state in the 130-pound weight class. Following a 2:35 pin during his first match, Johnson came back strong with no time left during the second round. The pin at the 3:59 mark gave the freshman new life, but only for a short time. During the next match, Johnson lost 7-4 to tie for ninth in state.
Islander Colton Knebel got into a battle for points during his first match, but lost 21-15. The ability to score aided the sophomore during his next match as he came out on top, 10-5. The 189-pound athlete had very little time to think about scoring during his final match of the tournament as he was pinned in 52 seconds to tie for ninth in state.
Fellow sophomore TJ Blackburn also proved to be good at scoring points, winning his first match 10-6. But Blackburn came up short on points during the second round at 215 pounds, 11-8. Blackburn's run came to an end with a 4-0 loss, to tie for ninth in state.
Islander Kyle Shanafelt was very competitive at 119 pounds, but lost both of his matches on points, 9-2 and 4-0, to tie for 13th in state.
Mercer Island resident and O'Dea senior JP Bruckner made it to the consolation medal round, but was called for a flagrant misconduct foul and ejected from the tournament without medalling.

Convincing Consumers to Eschew Paper Called Key to Online Growth
That's a takeaway from a new report by Forrester Research that said that e-statement adoption has remained steady the past couple years and takes a look at what's holding some folks back.
The report is based on a survey Forrester conducted online in March and April of this year of 4,630 Americans ages 18 to 88 as part of its North American Technographics Banking Online Survey series.
It found that by some measures, consumers actually were receiving slightly fewer e-statements this year than last, 55% for checking accounts this year compared with 58% in the same months in 2008, for instance. Credit card accounts have the widest adoption; mortgage accounts the least.
"What's holding back wider adoption of e-statements? Across product types, almost 50% of consumers blame it on needing a paper statement for their records," the think firm said in the report authored by analysts Emmett Higdon and Elizabeth Davis.
"The time has come to show users how they can find last year's statement and then save or print a copy," the researchers said.
That especially goes for the large number of consumers who bank online and still get paper statements; in other words, they want it both ways. Forrester recommends financial institutions follow the lead of their peers who already have put an end to that.
"We've seen it again and again, year in and year out: Consumers are convinced that they need copies of statements for 'record keeping' or to file taxes. It's time to set a deadline for your online bankers," Higdon and Davis said, "and tell them that paper will be going away as of that date."
Before doing that, Forrester recommends the following:
Educate your consumers about their ability to access statements from your site.
Give them the option to turn paper back on in the future.
Enroll every customer or member in your alerts services.
Forester also advised stressing the environmental benefits, something half or more of the members of some consumer segments cited as important to them, of paperless statements. And cite the security aspect: e-statements means that documents are secure back at the credit union and not sitting as paper in your house or trash.
And be sure to help your members understand that those e-mail and text alerts are reminders of their bills-so they'll not feel the need cited by many in the survey of getting bills in the mail so they remember to pay.
The education effort also should include some things that are perhaps obvious to credit union managers but not so much to their end-user members.
"Go a step further," the Forrester report advises. "It's not enough to offer a stored PDF; it's time to explain to your customers that the PDF, printed out, is a legal document, just the same as a mailed statement."
A relatively inexpensive financial inducement also just might make the difference.
"A $5 credit would convince one-third of consumers to turn off paper," the Forrester report said. And that number rises to 44% for Gen Y and $39% for Gen X. The holdouts? The 42% of older boomers and 41% of senior citizens who told the Forrester surveyors "I will never give up the paper version."

Forest Grove police fielded three calls about a masked man holding an American flag and wearing a gun strapped to his hip downtown Saturday afternoon, according to the department.
Between 1:10-2:30 p.m., police received the calls about the man, who was at Main Street and Pacific Avenue, said Capt. Mike Herb, a Forest Grove police spokesman. The man, Herb said, wore a V-for-Vendetta mask.
Police responded, Herb said, and the man refused to speak with officers. He appeared to take photographs of the police response with a cellphone.
Herb said officers determined the man was likely exercising his Second Amendment rights. Officers reportedly watched him but did not stop or detain him.
"We did not determine him to be a threat to the extent that he did not have his gun out pointed at anyone," Herb wrote in an email. "It goes without saying folks were alarmed by his actions."
Several people also reportedly took photographs and video of the man.

In a striped sweatshirt and tennis shoes with a backpack slung over her shoulders, Natalia Martinez was happy to stroll the red carpet into Echo Shaw Elementary School Wednesday morning — but she was even more excited for second grade.
"I can't wait to learn again," she said with a smile.
Natalia was one of about 250 students who started school Wednesday at Echo Shaw Elementary. About 80 kindergarteners will join the group next Wednesday.
Principal Perla Rodriguez said the school has welcomed students back with a red carpet for more than a decade, "just to make them feel like the rock stars they are," she said.
This year brings a new uniform pilot program to Echo Shaw. Families are encouraged to participate in the program, but are not required to do so, said Rodriguez.
"I think a lot of parents are going to like it," Rodriguez said.
While the majority of kids didn't don uniforms for their red carpet debuts, Rodriguez expects that by the end of next week, more kids will have caught onto the program — especially students in kindergarten and first grade.
While many first day jitters passed as students met their teachers and sat down beside classmates, Rodriguez said she and her staff are still preoccupied with trying to make full-day kindergarten possible for the continuously growing class of kindergarteners coming next week.
Due to additional kindergarten enrollments in the past week, Rodriguez said the school may reach out to parents to find out if any would prefer half-day kindergarten instead.
"We have some parents who really don't want the full day," she said.
About eight kindergarten students joined the roster in the past week, said English Language Development Facilitator Laura Mannen.
While Oregon schools won't be required to offer free full-day kindergarten until next fall, Echo Shaw had hoped to provide it for all students this year.
"We wanted to be able to provide that full-day experience if we possibly can," Mannen said.

Three sex offenders released in South Kitsap
The Kitsap County Sheriffs Office will hold a community meeting Wednesday to notify the public about two Level 3 sex offenders who will be released and a third who will be re-released from prison soon and plan to live in or around South Kitsap.
The first, Loren Vernon Safly, also known as Loren Vern Jones, is a 28-year-old white male who will live in the 3800 block of West Old Belfair Highway.
According to court documents, Safly was convicted in 1991 of first-degree child molestation after sexually molesting a 7-year-old female relative over the course of two years.
In 1999, Safly was also convicted of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl, and has previous convictions for failure to register as a sex offender, unlawful imprisonment and narcotics-related charges.
He is described as 5-11, 228 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
The second, Michael David Marchlewski, is an 18-year-old white male who plans to live on the 14000 block of Rabbit Lane after he is released on Aug. 31.
According to court documents, Marchlewski has twice been convicted of second-degree child molestation.
The first was in April of 2004, for having sexual relations with an underage female, and the second was in September 2004, for fondling two 13-year-old girls with the aid of an accomplice.
He is described as 5-9, 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.
Deputy Scott Wilson said a third man, Michael Allen Leo Wilkinson, a 24-year-old white male, is also being re-released soon to the SK area as a transient with no permanent residence.
He plans to stay in the West Bremerton and South Kitsap areas, where Wilson said he is frequently observed on foot.
Although Wilkinson was previously released last April, Wilson said the sheriffs office was alerting the public again because Wilkinson was recently serving more time in jail on a non-sex-related offense.
In October 2004, Wilkinson was convicted of three counts of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
In March, he was convicted of second-degree robbery after entering the locker room of a local area pool and robbing five juveniles at knifepoint.
Wilkinson is described as 6-3, 190 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes.
No community notification meeting is scheduled as Wilkinson does not have an approved residence, and is required to check-in, daily, with his community corrections officer.
The Sheriffs Community Resource Officer, Deputy Pete Ball, is available to assist communities in establishing block or neighborhood watch programs and to provide the public with information on personal safety. He may be contacted at (360) 337-7074.
For further information on registered sex offenders within Kitsap County, contact Detective Doug Dillard at (360) 337-5617.

Nee James - a rural upbringing in the Taranaki below Te Maunga Taranaki (known in those days as Mt Egmont) became the lifelong province for this caring and loved woman. From a farm at Tariki the James family moved to another farm near Manaia on the opposite side of Te Maunga. And eventually the family settle in the town of Opunake.
Under the watchful eye and stern control of their father and mother the six James kids played, schooled, worked, married, raised families and eventually died in the provence of their birth and alegiance.
Irene and Len were twins and their bonding and lifetime friendship was strong. In fact, Uncle Len became more a father figure to Irene's sons Bob & Joe. Perhaps the watchful eyes of Grand-dad and Granny James weren't as keen as they hoped because the fertility of the Taranaki soil produced for Irene May s son named Robert James (father Eynon), a son named Joseph James (father Rangihawe) and four other children. The father of these four children - Isabella, Hector, Margaret and Viti (deceased - meningitis) - Hector Walker, adopted Joe but Bob as the elder son remained with Granny James.
Even though she only lived to 44 years of age, died from breast cancer, Irene loved life all her children. Some significant indicators about her life were:
She was a treasure.

More than a dozen road closures remain Saturday morning from flooding in Lycoming and Sullivan counties
Carnival time
Congratulations to the organizers and many community groups who took part in the Turbotville Community carnival last week. It was obvious that a lot of thought and work went into making it a success.
The food, parades, and bands were great, and the fireworks were a big bonus. Even the weather cooperated to make a memorable week.
I hope that everyone will support the Warrior Run Area Fire Department's carnival at the Watsontown Park this week with the same enthusiasm and eagerness. The department serves the entire school district and just built a new fire station in Turbotville to better serve the area. In addition to responding to hundreds of fires, accidents, and other emergency calls throughout the year, the mandatory training is long and rigorous, requiring a real commitment from its members. For example, an Emergency Medical Technician now requires 220 hours of training and costs nearly $1,000.
Becoming a level one firefighter is also time-consuming with approximately 175 hours of training. There are several additional firefighter levels, plus hazardous materials training, as well as special classes for officers. Furthermore, practices are held weekly in order to maintain those skills.
Obviously the increased training requirements make it more difficult to recruit new members and are also one of the reasons that the department felt that it could no longer sustain the tradition of holding carnivals two weeks in a row.
Our firefighters spend countless hours training and responding to calls at all hours of the night and day and in all kinds of weather. They deserve support from everyone in the communities they serve.

Before heavy underdog Beach Channel took the field in St. George for one of the biggest upsets in PSAL football playoff history Saturday, the Dolphins seemed anything but intimidated.
"It's upset time," shouted one of the coaches a few minutes before the opening kickoff. "It's time to get their attention. They don't think we're a threat."
A couple of hours later, those words proved quite prophetic.
Defending city champion and second-seeded Curtis was eliminated with a stunning 8-0 loss to No. 15 Beach Channel — a shocking result that seemed almost unfathomable in the days preceding the first-round contest.
"Our rallying cry comes from the New York Giants ... nobody gave them a chance against mighty New England in the Super Bowl," said Beach Channel head coach Victor Nazario. "How could they keep up? We were in the same boat today ... who gave us a chance against Curtis?"
The 9-1 Dolphins scored on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Ben Burrello to Devon Moore with 5:19 remaining in the first quarter and made it stand up on a rain-soaked field.
Curtis had four costly turnovers, including three second-half fumbles and a pass interception at the goal-line to end the first half. The Warriors were also penalized 11 times for 95 yards.
So despite owning a healthy 284-91 edge in total offense, Curtis made too many mistakes against a tough Beach Channel defense that repeatedly rose to the occasion.
"I'm a little shocked, but that's why you play the games on Saturday," said Curtis first-year head coach Peter Gambardella. "I knew we were a little short-handed (defensive star Dominque Easley sat out with an injury and two-way threat James Ponpon played only the second half) but we had enough guys out there to make plays.
"We didn't make the plays. The bottom line is we lost the game today. Beach Channel executed enough to beat us."
The numbers all tilted in Curtis' favor. Senior running back Naykwan Johnson gained 206 yards on 35 carries, but had two crucial fumbles on consecutive third-quarter carries — after gains of 17 and then 19 yards.
In fact, all three of the Warriors' third-period possessions ended in lost fumbles (quarterback Xzaviah Stone fumbled a snap at the Beach Channel 37 to start the quarter).
And even the one moment late in the game when Curtis seemed to find some life wasn't real. Ponpon fielded a punt and broke free down the left sidelines and appeared to be on his way to a 79-yard touchdown run.
But quarterback/punter Burrello made the play of the game, making enough contact with Ponpon to knock him to the sideline in front of Beach Channel's bench.
The official ruling put the ball at Dolphins' 43 with 4:31 remaining.
"I kept waiting for something good to happen," said Gambardella. "It really never did."
Curtis was frustrated all day trying to get its high-powered offense going. They finished with minus-4 yards passing as Stone completed 2 of 14. The most costly pass of the day came on the last play of the first half. On fourth-and-goal from the 5, Kassim Forbes bobbled a pass which Beach Channel intercepted and returned 52 yards to end the half.
"The more stops our defense made," said winning coach Nazario, "the more confidence we mounted."
The visitors scored on a deep post pattern on their second possession. Moore broke open and Burrello lofted a perfect pass into his hands.
Burrello ran for the two-point conversion, but nobody figured the 8-0 score would stand up over the remaining three-plus quarters.
"We knew we could play football with these guys, but we knew we couldn't afford to make mistakes," said Burrello, who gave Beach Channel favorable field position with punts of 46, 39 and 34 yards. "We played it safe and our defense was awesome. They did what they had to do and we just tried to manage the game."
The Warriors would have preferred a dry field for their no-huddle, spread offense.
"We came out not strong and gave up the game," said Johnson. "Nobody expected this. I can't believe it.
"We couldn't get the ball outside and once they know where we're going, it's not easy to do it. The weather had a lot to do with it.
"Some days are just not going to go your way."
Yesterday was one of those days for the Curtis Warriors

Movie offers a realistic look at senior life
For the majority of our married life (soon to be 53 years), my wife and I have set apart every Friday as our night, which means we typically go to dinner and a movie or theatrical production.
As a result, we've seen hundreds of movies over the years, some of which have been very memorable, and some we try quickly to forget.
Every once in a while, we have the pleasure of seeing a movie that not only provides a great time of entertainment, but is also a wonderful window through which we are able to see the reality of people living life and dealing with the same issues and challenges we all face. Sometimes those people are seniors.
One such movie, that my wife and I recently saw not once, but three times, was Quartet, which featured a great British cast, including Maggie Smith, who is one of our favorite actresses.
By the way, in case you've not seen the movie, it will be available on DVD on June 18.
The setting for this film is one of England's most scenic estates, the fictional Beecham House for Retired Musicians.
As the film begins, it becomes apparent that the residents are quite concerned that the house may be in danger of losing its funding, and they are energetically engaged in preparation for an annual Verdi Gala fund raiser to save their beautiful retirement home.
Quartet centers on four opera singers, two men and two women, who years before performed Verdi Regoletto to standing ovations, but now one of the foursome is determined not to perform.
As the story unfolds, we see character traits and physical limitations that many seniors can relate to.
Wilfred struggles with some issues from a minor stroke he had before coming to Beecham House, although he more than compensates with his flirtatious advances towards some of the staff.
Then there's Cissy, who exhibits ever-increasing moments of dementia, which threatens the quartet's performance.
However, the biggest obstacle to this quartet's reuniting is the relationship between Reginald and Jean.
It isn't long before we discover that Reggie and Jean had once been briefly married, although Jean has moved on (two additional marriages), but Reggie has not. In fact, he still blames her for the failure of their brief marriage. But there is hope.
So here in these four characters we have a microcosm of the life facing many seniors today. A world that is both heartbreaking, and yet, at times, filled with great delight, joy, and fulfillment.
If you haven't seen it already, give Quartet a try. I think you'll not only be entertained, but you may find some new insights into coping with the challenges of aging.
Carl Johnson

I was lost in King's Cross
When I saw you, what a neat car
I had no idea where I was a complete loss
She said, "It doesn't matter son, I'll take care of you"
I was shocked at King's Cross
When you asked me how much I was
I said "Please point me towards Eros or a bus stop"
She said "It doesn't matter, son
I will guide you through if you don't know what to do"
How much for love?
Have I enough for you to show me how?
No, I don't want to hear the story of your life
For I've been bruised enough tonight
But do you want to see the video of mine?

Federal Way falls off top 10 list | Andy Hobbs
Federal Way lost a badge of honor.
The 2010 Census reveals that Federal Way, once the eighth largest city in Washington, has fallen out of the top 10.
With 89,306 residents, Federal Way now ranks 11th in population after being surpassed by annexation-happy cities like Kent, Yakima, Renton and Spokane Valley.
Since 2000, King County's population has grown 11.2 percent to 1,931,249, according to the 2010 Census. In that time, Federal Way expanded by nearly 7 percent.
Federal Way has often leaned on the "eighth largest city" label as a bragging right. The city's former rank carried a dignified status, regardless of whether it was earned. Unfortunately, "11th largest city" doesn't sound as impressive.
Federal Way could annex its way back on the list of largest cities, if being on that exclusive list is important. The last attempt to annex a 4,400-acre area of unincorporated King County (east of Interstate 5) was shot down by voters in 2007. Had it passed, the annexation would have added about 20,000 residents to the city's population — making Federal Way the sixth largest city on the 2010 list, right behind Bellevue.
Better yet, forget about the top 10 list and remember this old saying: It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
Federal Way's so-called fight is right here within the city's borders. Rather than pursuing a spot on someone's top 10 list, let Federal Way work as if there are no lists other than its own.
If there's one road Federal Way must travel, it's the road toward a higher quality of life. Here are a few areas in which the city is moving in that direction:
1. Schools. A new policy in the Federal Way School District has doubled the enrollment of students in advanced classes. Long-term results remain to be seen. Despite criticisms that the policy "waters down" the advanced classes, the silver lining is that more students are exposed to a higher level of learning.
2. Businesses. The South Sound Regional Business Incubator offers resources, training and information to help small businesses succeed. Strong businesses lead to a stronger tax base that benefits residents, roads and schools.
3. Volunteers. Last week's One Day Federal Way, for example, brought together more than 300 volunteers to spruce up three schools that needed it. Volunteers who invest time into making Federal Way a better place to live will always see a return on their investment.
The nationwide self-indulgence from the early to mid-2000s has been replaced with a spreading interest in self-improvement. The key is to nurture this interest in Federal Way.
It's a notion that should top everyone's list.

NEWFIELD — The Mater Dei Nursing and Rehab Center is scheduled to close by the end of the year due to three successive years of reported losses.
Operated by the Diocese of Camden, the U.S. Route 40 facility had specialized in both long- and short-term care for older adults over the past 45 years, including cancer and diabetes care.
According to Martin Idler, the executive director of health services for the diocese, the decision to close down the facility is due to three years of excessive financial loss which was putting other services offered by the diocese in jeopardy.
"This was a very difficult decision to make," Idler said, "but we felt it was necessary to protect the remaining three nursing facilities operated by the diocese."
According to Idler, Mater Dei has incurred annual operating deficits of more than $500,000 in each of the last three years, and the future outlook is even worse.
The decision to close the center was made by a special committee and diocesan administration "after every effort to save the facility had been tried," according to center staff.
"The staff has worked tirelessly to keep occupancy high and expenses low," said Idler. "They have achieved the highest rating of Five Stars, but still the operating losses have continued."
While the property's future is not currently known, the center said that it was looking to "ensure that current residents find satisfactory new care facilities."
According to Ruth Ann Kozlek, the administrator of Mater Dei, the center's next focus will be to find alternative living options for current residents as well as to locate new employment for center staff.

Espinosa, who suffered a broken bone in his right wrist on April 14, had been on an injury rehab assignment with the Syracuse Chiefs since last Thursday.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

We are a professional translation company with experience and a reputation you can trust!
Many businesses use our English to Ojibwe translation services!
Language Marketplace has been providing professional English to Ojibwe translation services to a wide range of clients for many years.
Ojibwa (or Ojibwa)is a language that is spoken in Canada among the First Nations People. The Eastern Ojibwa language has a classification of Algic, Algonquian, Central, and Ojibwa.
Regions Spoken: Eastern Ojibwa is spoken in southern Ontario, north of Lake Ontario and east of Georgian Bay. Also spoken East of a north-south line through the base of the Bruce Peninsula.
Population: Eastern Ojibwa has about 25,000 speakers in Canada, as of 1998.
Alternate Name: Other names for Eastern Ojibwa are Ojibwe and Ojibway.
Brief History: Eastern Ojibwa is dying out in many areas of Canada. There is, however, a concentrated effort, via language teaching in public schools and other efforts, to help reverse this decline. All speakers of Eastern Ojibwa also use English and some also use other varieties of Ojibwa.
Ojibwe, otherwise anglicized as Chippewa, Ojibwa or Ojibway and known to its own speakers as Anishinabe or Anishinaabemowin--is an Algonquian language spoken by 50,000 people in the northern United States and southern Canada.
There are five main dialects of Ojibwe: Western Ojibwe, Eastern Ojibwe, Northern Ojibwe (Severn Ojibwe or Oji-Cree), Southern Ojibwe (Minnesota Ojibwe or Chippewa), and Ottawa (Odawa or Odaawa). Speakers of all five dialects, including Ottawa, can understand each other readily.
Many linguists also consider the Algonquin language to be an Ojibwe dialect, but it has diverged more and is difficult for Western Ojibwe speakers to understand.
As its name suggests, Oji-Cree has borrowed many elements from Cree and is often written in the Cree syllabary rather than the English alphabet. On the whole Ojibwe is among the healthiest of North American languages, with many children being raised to speak it as a native language.
Ojibwe is a verb-based polysynthetic language with relatively free word order.

After a big focus on earnings to start the second-quarter reporting season, the stock market has turned its attention to the increasing struggles in Europe. With the Spanish economy under threat from soaring bond yields and the euro falling against the U.S. dollar, investors moved to what they perceive as less-risky assets, and stock markets around the world sold off sharply. Just before 10:45 a.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrials (INDEX: ^DJI ) were off 184 points at 12,639.
Every stock in the Dow was down. Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) led the way with a 3% drop. Despite its recent announcement of its Surface tablet and the coming release of Windows 8, the software giant faces a lot of uncertainty about its future direction. With partner Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) having had its junk bond rating cut again by Moody's, Microsoft may not be able to rely much on Nokia to help further its attempts to increase its share in the mobile space.
In earnings news, McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) fell 2.5% after its second-quarter profit fell slightly. The fast-food behemoth blamed the strong U.S. dollar for the drop, even as revenue rose a bit and same-store sales jumped 2.7%. If global woes continue, then dollar strength could hit a number of similarly situated multinationals that get a big portion of their revenue from overseas.
Finally, Chevron (NYSE: CVX ) fell more than 2% despite announcing a new natural-gas find off the western coast of Australia. With the exploration conveniently located near where Chevron is planning a liquefied natural gas export plant, the find bodes well for the company's strategy to supply hungry energy markets in southeast Asia.
How to fight Europe's woes
Europe is going to be a problem for investors for a while. But we've gotten through past crises, and there's reason to believe we'll get through this one, too. A long-term focus is essential to keep your eye on the ball. Read The Motley Fool's latest special report, where we discuss three stocks for growth and dividend investors alike.

The Grammy Award-winning band Los Lobos will perform a free concert this Saturday evening, Aug. 11, at the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District's main complex in Beaverton.
The "Groovin' on the Grass" concert, which will also include opening act Pepe & the Bottle Blondes, will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Howard M. Terpenning Recreation Complex, 15707 SW Walker Road, Beaverton. It is part of THPRD's 9th annual Concert & Theater in the Park series, which features eight concerts and two plays this summer.
A typical THPRD concert is family-oriented and performed in a neighborhood park, but Saturday's concert, presented by Widmer Brothers, is a date-night event primarily for couples and staged at the Park District's 92-acre main complex. Food and alcohol will be for sale, but as is the case with all THPRD concerts and plays, no alcohol will be allowed from the outside.
Gates will open at 5 p.m., followed by music at 6. For information about parking, THPRD's shuttle service from the Merlo Road light-rail station, or other details, guests should visit our event page or call 503/645-6433.
Formed in East Los Angeles, Los Lobos has entertained audiences for nearly 40 years with a sound influenced by Tex-Mex, country, folk, rhythm and blues, and traditional Spanish and Mexican music. They have recorded 17 albums, and their 1987 single "La Bamba" (from the movie soundtrack of the same name) was a number one hit.
Pepe & the Bottle Blondes blend Copacabana-style dinner theater with the music and rhythms of Latin America. The band plays popular songs from the '30s to the '60s, but they also do tangos, boleros, rhumbas and sambas.
"We invite our patrons to bring blankets or low chairs and enjoy outstanding music on a summer evening at the Main Field," said Deb Fife, THPRD's concert organizer. "It's free, so get there early for the best seats."
A designated area for quick-shade canopies and large tarps or blankets for bigger groups and families will be provided. For a site map, food vendors, and info on items allowed or not, go here.
Formed in 1955, THPRD is the largest special park district in Oregon, spanning about 50 square miles and serving more than 220,000 residents in the greater Beaverton area. The district provides year-round recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Offerings include thousands of classes, 90 park sites with active recreational amenities, 60 miles of trails, eight swim centers, six recreation centers, and 1,400 acres of natural areas. For more information, visit www.thprd.org or call 503/645-6433.

"American Idol" fans, I know what you're thinking: There is no way Jason Castro will survive tonight on the results show! Just no way. But, and I'm issuing a B-I-G but, what happens if he actually makes it to the next round? The finale?
Here's what I'm thinking: The judges were brutal on Jason Castro, and for good reason. He butchered Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff." and he laughed off forgetting the lyrics to "Mr. Tambourine Man." But I knew they would hammer him. Check out my prediction on my Twitter page, where I say: "Tonight, look for the judges to pick on Jason Castro."
I said that because I believe the judges/producers are trying to set up a David Cook vs. David Archuleta finale.
Syesha Mercado was incredible last night, and the judges were split on her.
Archuleta was OK, but the judges raved!
Cook was mediocre at best, although his second song ("Baba O'Riley") was strong, sticking to his familiar formula of "slow build to start, then rock out." The judges downplayed him a bit.
That leaves Jason Castro. Who let him sing a Bob Marley song? Don't get me wrong, I love Marley. But the whole thing was a disaster before he opened up his mouth.
What does it mean? I think producers/judges are trying to get fans to vote off Jason, keep Syesha in the final three. Then dump her for David vs. David.
"American Idol" producers know that Jason has a tremendous fan base. So, what if the Jason Castro fans rally around him? That would mean the worst case scenario: No more Syesha.
That is where it could get crazy. Jason Castro vs. David Archuleta in the finale? If that happens, "American Idol" ratings for the finale would hit an all-time low. And the producers don't want that!

It's Grand, All Right
Trip Start Jul 08, 2006
106Trip End Sep 03, 2006
We keep on gliding down the hill, now there's the dam, look right, the flags are flying, something mighty here. Then tree-lined streets, and houses, neat and tidy as a pin, cross the river bridge (Columbia is tame, right here below the dam), there's where we'll stay tonight. Turn left into the parking lot, our room is ready. Park in front and haul the cooler in.
Oh look! We can see the dam from here! A patio! And then a laugh. Our patio is 1 x 3, well go outside and stand, I laugh right back
You've got it kid.
Let's go get a shirt! Let's get some ice. It's HOT, it's very HOT, we are not used to such. When will we eat? And where? What time is the show?
Back across the parking lot, the shirts are stacked, a picture of Grand Coulee Dam across the front, MY DAM SHIRT across the top. Andrew giggles at the thought of making such a statement on his chest. Alas, no sizes for the young! Only adult sizes here. We look for other souvenirs, settle for the standard thing, magnets for the front door of the fridge.
Supper in the spot next door, a walk down to the bridge, we rest, and drink our Gatorade. At last it's 10 PM, and dark, so let the show begin.
The spillways open up, the water crashes down, a roar that echos round the hills. The face of the dam turns white, above the moon is almost full
What a sight! The show is 37 minutes long, Andrew know this for a fact. What does water do? Why do we need it? Look around the barren hills, so parched and dry, then look at where the water goes, the green. You know the answer, plain to see.
Andrew claps, the show is over now, let's take our Nutter-Butters back to the room, it's getting late.
Inside, we see the dam, lights side to side, a mile across and higher than the pyramids, just across the street.

Pulaski, VA - Pulaski Police say a 64-year-old man was stabbed and assaulted and is in the hospital with serious injuries.

Rutherford's brother found him Thursday morning after he didn't answer the phone.
Police are investigating.

Glen Myers is out as CEO of IP Fabrics, the Beaverton company he started after he left RadiSys in 2002.
IP Fabrics launched to provide software for a class of Intel network processor, and by 2006 had raised $7.5 million in venture backing. Investors included Ignition Partners, Frazier Technology Ventures and Northwest Venture Associates, along with Intel Capital.
But Intel ultimately abandoned its network processor, and IP Fabrics had to rethink its business.
"That market never materialized the way we thought it would," said Kevin Graves, acting CEO. "We needed to change."
IP Fabrics ultimately created a class of network monitoring software, used by "surveillance solution providers and integrators, service providers, law-enforcement agencies, and other government agencies."
In 2009, IP Fabrics also took on a new owner, Graves said, an unnamed strategic investor.
And last month IP Fabrics' board decided to make a change at CEO. Graves said he didn't know the circumstances behind the decision, or the board's long-term plans for the company.
Meanwhile, IP Fabrics retained its nine employees -- eight of them at its Beaverton offices.
Through Graves, I put in an inquiry to Myers to see if he had more to say on the circumstances of his departure or more to say about his future (he started RadiSys in 1987, and before that had been an engineer at Intel and IBM.) I haven't heard back, but will update if I do.

To the Editor:
We applaud the very objective and real investigative article June 8 by Paul Riede and Mark Weiner. It was well researched and clearly presented the facts about Medicare and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The article clarified the points that certain individuals and both major political parties often use to mislead the public about Medicare.
A couple of points bear repeating:
1) The ACA does not radically change Medicare; in fact, the act challenges providers to become more efficient and live within the funds available.
2) Basic medical and prescription coverage funded through Medicare Advantage (MA) plans will not be cut or eliminated. (The law specifically maintains basic care.) The private insurance companies offering such MA plans will see their present over-generous federal subsidies gradually reduced over 10 years. (Many of us have repeatedly suggested such reductions.) Most of these funds will be used to strengthen other parts of Medicare and other health programs, not cut basic Medicare, as some individuals have claimed.
3) All citizens under or over age 55 will see significant changes to Medicare if the House/Ryan budget proposal passes both houses of Congress. People under 55 will have to face a very limited voucher plan for Medicare. Those over age 55 will have to watch (very closely) what private insurance plans do to their supplement benefits and services.
Granted that the Affordable Care Act is bringing changes to Medicare. Many Medicare enrollees have already benefited from these changes, as the article noted. Medicare must change - to reduce waste, to end some outdated practices (including too many questionable tests/prescriptions), to move into more efficient and effective preventable services and to improve its financial situation.

text: Best of the best GBR scuba itinerary AND total solar eclipse photography(TRAVPR.COM) PORTLAND, OREGON USA - September 25th, 2012 - Reef & Rainforest has just a few open spaces for the Eastern Fields and Far North Great Barrier Reef / Solar Eclipse trip departing Cairns, Australia. Guests will travel November 12-26, 2012 for fourteen nights on the liveaboard Sprit of Freedom. Passengers will be among the lucky few in perfect position to view a total solar eclipse. Professional photographer, Mark Strickland and astronomy professor, Greg Becker will offer expert advice and answer questions while on this exclusive trip. The Eastern Fields Held in highest regard by knowledgeable divers, the Eastern Fields can be found in the Coral Sea, roughly between Australia and Papua New Guinea. Their isolated reefs rise dramatically from 4,000 foot depths to the sun-drenched shallows, allowing the excitement of open-sea diving without going deep. Passengers will stay on the liveaboard, The Spirit of Freedom. The Spirit features electronic stabilizers, wide screen TV/DVD, comfortable lounge areas, a sun deck and spacious cabins with in-suite bathrooms. The atmosphere is more like a private motor yacht than a dive boat. Best of the Best for Scuba Travel When it comes to the Great Barrier Reef, this itinerary includes the "best of" for scuba diving. Whether it's capturing a shot of a massive potato cod at the famous Cod Hole, or marveling at the coral gardens and fish life of the renowned Ribbon Reefs; the magnitude of marine life is amazing. You'll also experience Raine Island. This island is the largest and most important green sea turtle nesting area in the world. As much as 80,000 of the ancient creatures visit this tiny island in a good year, with in-water sightings of over 250 turtles being common during the December peak season. Total Solar Eclipse Viewing If the beauty of Australia isn't enough, this trip includes an opportunity to view a total solar eclipse. Visualize the day turn into night. Feel the temperature drop. Listen to the wildlife tricked into their nighttime routines. Become one with the natural cycle of our neighboring celestial bodies. Trip leader Greg Becker says, "This is an opportunity to witness the grand cosmic clockwork at play in our solar system while situated in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We will discuss the historical ramifications and the science behind the total solar eclipse." Photographers Delight For underwater photographers, there is no better way to advance your skill development, learn how to use your camera than to tap into the knowledge of Mark Strickland. "These group trips allow me to provide individualized instruction, tailoring my advice according to each person's interests and equipment," says Strickland. "I also enjoy sharing my knowledge of marine life, to further enhance guest's enjoyment of the experience." Openings on this expedition are still available. Contact Reef & Rainforest now to reserve your spot on this unique trip. ###
