Western Michigan University's men's basketball team clobbered Division-III Alma, 109-50, with four Broncos taller than 6-foot-6 scoring in double figures against a roster than didn't have anyone above 6-5.
But the magnitude of this intended mismatch served only as the avenue for WMU (2-4) to take care of a few pressing issues — its need for a "feel-good" outing, as coach Steve Hawkins put it, and to give its playing rotation a chance to begin to morph into its later-season form. Because, five games in, two players expected to play vital roles remained essentially out of the mix.
By the end of Saturday's 59-point win, sophomore David Brown and junior college transfer Caleb Dean had done enough to answer a couple questions and raise a few more.
Brown, playing for the second time in three games after missing almost a month with a severe ankle sprain, scored eight points and had two steals and an assist in 18 minutes.
Dean, whose early season struggles included being left home during the team's trip to Wisconsin-Milwaukee, tallied 14 points and nine rebounds three days after showing the first signs he may contribute with nine points in a loss at Towson.
Both are again part of the discussion for minutes in games against foes that don't resemble the Gull Lake High School varsity, four years older.
WMU vs. Detroit
When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, University Arena
Records: WMU 2-4, Detroit 5-4
Tickets: $18, $16 and $12; 888-4-WMU-TIX
TV, Radio: WKZO-FM (96.5)
Broncos coach Steve Hawkins said of Brown: "I thought he knew probably going into it, by the way he played, that he was fighting for playing time, because he didn't take anything for granted. Defensively, he was out there all over the place."
Demetrius Ward has started all five games at the off-guard to this point and doesn't look willing to give up the position. He's averaging 10.8 points and 4.8 rebounds and hitting 35 percent of his 3-point attempts, while splitting his 30 minutes per game between both guard spots. It appears as if the bulk of Brown's time will come from elsewhere.
"There may be games where David Brown may get 12 to 14 minutes as he gets into it," Hawkins said. "There may be other games where he gets 22-24 minutes of play, because of what we need at a given time or how he's playing or how our matchups are. What that does to Alex (Wolf), what that does to Hutch (Nate Hutcheson), some of that depends on Juwan (Howard Jr.)."
Some of what happens with Hutcheson and Howard might have been determined by Dean, who Hawkins said "is pretty close to" locking up the backup power forward spot behind Flenard Whitfield, meaning Hutcheson and Howard would no longer be used there.
Hawkins is considering occasionally using a lineup with Ward, Howard, Hutcheson, Dean and Whitfield to maximize the combination of size and athleticism.
"There's a lot of interchangeable pieces, which is the way we want it," Hawkins said. " ... This thing is far from settling itself down. And it's going to sound strange to say, but I don't think that I want to get into a really, really predictable pattern. Because I don't think we're there yet.
"With this particular group, we may need to make sure playing time keeps them motivated, keeps them wanting to play well, otherwise somebody else behind them is ready to go. You saw David Brown step out today and play really, really hard. I think that's something I want to continue to sort of dangle in front of our guys. I think we need it, especially this early in the season."
Brown is simply happy to be part of the conversation again.
"Seeing the ball go in a little bit, I feel like that helped me a lot," Brown said, after he hit 2 of 5 3-point attempts Saturday. "I was sitting out for so long and I was so anxious to get in and I saw those first couple shots go in, and then going over to the sideline and seeing my man David Kool over there, just telling me, 'Keep shooting it ...'
"Once that shot went down, I felt like I could make any shot."

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed its arguments opposing Alabama's bid asking the U.S. Supreme Court take up a piece of the state's immigration law blocked by the lower courts.
Alabama has petitioned the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments on the legality of the state immigration law's ban on harboring, concealing or transporting illegal immigrants or encouraging an illegal immigrant to stay in Alabama.
The state has argued the ban complements federal law.
The filings are part of the ongoing legal battle between the Justice Department and Alabama over the state's far-reaching immigration law that was passed in 2011 by Alabama's first majority Republican legislature.
Much of the law has been blocked by federal courts in Birmingham and Atlanta, but the courts have approved of state law that gives police power to run immigration checks during traffic stops and other law enforcement contact and a provision requiring proof of lawful immigration status before obtaining a driver's license, business license or building permit.
Alabama did not ask the Supreme Court to take up other portions of the measure that have been blocked, such as a ban on contracts with illegal immigrants or the collecting of immigration data from new public school students.
Alabama Solicitor General John Neiman said last month that the Supreme Court grants review in very few cases each year and Alabama wanted to offer up its best argument for review. He said they believe the harboring challenge provides that and it is a question of national interest, with several states adopting similar measures.
Neiman said Friday Alabama will likely file its reply to the Justice Department brief by April 2 and the Supreme Court is likely to rule by April 15 whether it will take up the matter.
In its filing the U.S. Department of Justice argues immigration law is chiefly the province of the federal government as the high court ruled last year in its Arizona immigration law decision.
The filing also argues the state's efforts also can have the effect of interfering with federal law.
"The court of appeals also correctly concluded that Section 13 (Alabama's harboring provision) stands as an obstacle to the operation of federal law," the Justice Department argues. "In some instances, it imposes new criminal penalties for conduct that Congress has made criminal under federal law, while in others it criminalizes conduct that Congress has not made illegal."
The filing says that in the Arizona decision the Supreme Court found that a state cannot pursue its own policies of immigration enforcement with state criminal laws that "seek to supplant or elaborate upon" the regulation already enacted by Congress.
The harboring provision was denounced by three large Alabama churches, when the state's immigration law was passed in 2011. Leaders of the state's Episcopal, Roman Catholic and United Methodist churches filed a lawsuit seeking to block the measure, arguing it would criminalize ministering to some in their congregations.
The measure was blocked at the district court and appeals court levels, chiefly due to what the court found were parallels to federal law.
Alabama's filing requesting to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court disputed those findings and said 10 other states have adopted similar measure so the high court should take up the question to resolve confusion.
"The Eleventh Circuit did not send Alabama and other States back to the drawing board for another try, giving them an opportunity to tailor the provisions more narrowly to address some limited concern," Alabama argues in the filing's conclusion.
"The court instead held that States simply lack the power to regulate their citizens' conduct in this important field. The Eleventh Circuit was wrong, and States should have this power. But whether they do or not, they deserve to know now, rather than having to wait for years of costly, controversial litigation to provide a definitive answer."

BATON ROUGE -- In his 30 years as Orleans Parish criminal sheriff, Louisiana Attorney General Charles Foti endured plenty of moments in the local limelight. But he stepped on the world stage of news events Tuesday when he announced the arrest of a doctor and two nurses for allegedly administering lethal doses of painkillers to four patients at Memorial Medical Center on the third day after Hurricane Katrina.
CNN broke from its coverage of the Lebanon crisis to carry the live report from Foti's news conference, telling a story that served as a grim reminder of the misery caused by Katrina combined with the emotionally charged issue of mercy killings.
"To me, it was done to have a national and international effect, to take a bow for the investigation, " said Rick Simmons, the attorney for the accused Dr. Anna Maria Pou. "My client's presumption of innocence was trampled on."
As a statewide elected official, Foti now faces the inevitable skepticism about his political motivations and handling of a high-profile case. His office maintains that it has strong evidence, has followed the right procedures, and has gone out of its way to avoid exposing the accused to unnecessary media attention.
Given the compelling facts uncovered by the attorney general's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, Foti would have been accused of corruption and favoritism on a grand scale had he not proceeded to make the arrests, said Foti's spokeswoman, Kris Wartelle. His critics would have been legion, she said.
"They would have been screaming politics all over the place, " Wartelle said.
Comment in the past week on talk radio and in letters to the editor suggests that the reaction to Foti's probe cuts two ways. On one side, people are dismayed or angry at the idea of medical professionals making what they see as arbitrary decisions to end people's lives during the Katrina crisis. On the other side, there is disgust that a year after the storm, doctors and nurses who toughed it out in area hospitals are being accused by officials who, at every level of government, are seen to have poorly managed the disaster.
Pou and nurses Lori Budo and Cheri Landry, who are all accused of second-degree murder, were arrested in private Monday night, thereby avoiding the kind of photo and video coverage of suspects in handcuffs that often splash a big crime story. Foti wanted the arrests to be private, Wartelle said. A New Orleans judge subsequently released them on their own recognizance. Their attorneys have said the arrests were unnecessary, given that the women were prepared to surrender if charged.
They have not been formally charged with a crime. Under Louisiana laws of jurisdiction, it is now the responsibility of Orleans Parish District Attorney Eddie Jordan to decide how to proceed, and he has said his next step will be to ask a grand jury to look at the evidence. Jordan is not obligated to pursue second-degree murder charges, or he could charge the women with more serious or less serious crimes.
The chain of events this week has led to accusations that Foti was dumping the case on Jordan and walking away with the credit for cracking open a probe that may not have yielded enough hard evidence to result in convictions. But Foti says he has not washed his hands of the investigation or even of the prosecution.
If Jordan asks the attorney general to join the case, Foti's office has lawyers specialized in the field who will lend assistance, Wartelle said.
Still investigating
Foti's office is continuing to investigate deaths at Memorial, a major Uptown hospital that was mired in floodwater and without running water or electricity by the time staff and patients were evacuated three days after Katrina struck. More than 40 dead bodies were retrieved from the hospital, state health officials said.
According to an affidavit from the attorney general's office, the three accused women intentionally killed four patients by administering lethal doses of the depressants morphine sulphate and midazolam on Sept. 1, as an evacuation of the facility was mobilized. Those patients needed acute medical attention but were not terminally ill and could have been evacuated, Wartelle said. One of the patients was a 380-pound man who had already survived an evacuation to the hospital from a Chalmette (Katrina photos: The early days in St. Bernard ) nursing home.
There were additional potential homicides at Memorial, and the investigation of those is ongoing, Wartelle said. "Dozens" of tissue samples from those dead show "mysterious levels" of drugs that should not have been in the patients' bodies, Wartelle said.
The affidavit says three medical professionals who were on the scene and claim that Pou said on Sept. 1 she was going to give lethal doses of drugs to some patients. The affidavit does not say whether those witnesses tried to stop Pou. It makes a case that Pou and the nurses had the opportunity and sought private quarters to carry out the injections with vials that were readily available. At the time, rescue teams were marshaling a full evacuation of the hospital that was sure to be stressful on sick patients. The dead were being left behind.
A story that ran Sept. 11 in the London Daily Mail quoted an unnamed female doctor in New Orleans admitting she injected morphine into patients who were dying and in agony in a hospital as it was being evacuated. "In some cases the drugs may have speeded up the death process, " the doctor was quoted as saying. "This was not murder, this was compassion. They would have been dead within hours, if not days."
Wartelle did not say whether the story would be used as evidence.
Simmons said his client would have surrendered herself to authorities and that the sudden arrests were unexpected and unnecessary. Foti could have coordinated the case with the district attorney beforehand to determine whether actual charges would be made, Simmons said.
Because Pou has been booked but not charged, Simmons must deal with a legal limbo while trying to develop a defense. He said Thursday he needs medical records in the case but might be denied access to them until charges are filed.
Lots of political clout
Even by Louisiana political standards, Foti is a colorful public personality, traipsing about the state for meetings and speeches with his trademark unlit cigar hanging from his perpetually smiling lips. He was the inspiration for a recently filmed pilot for a fictional television series called "The General."
Foti was a prosecutor for the city before becoming sheriff in 1973. He remade the sheriff's office and ruled its 7,000-inmate jail with a swagger that often caused controversy but never seemed to cost him much political capital.
Foti brought an unconventional style to the attorney general's office in 2004, creating a new employment application that even staff already on the payroll had to fill out. It contained questions about applicants' race, age, tattoos, scars and birthmarks that ruffled the government workers' feathers. Labor lawyers said the questions were not illegal but could have increased the agency's vulnerability to charges of job discrimination, and the application was changed.
Foti plans to run for re-election next year and had $971,724.32 in his campaign coffers at the end of 2005, according to his most recent campaign filing. At 68 he is admittedly hard of hearing, but he appears fit and moves with a quick step.
A Democrat with a large number of Republican admirers, Foti needs only to keep his pulse beating to win re-election, said Bernie Pinsonat, a pollster with Southern Media and Opinion Research.
"Nothing's a cinch, but he's the next best thing to it, " said Pinsonat, who doubted that a serious challenger would get into the race.
State Republican Party Chairman Roger Villere said he would favor a GOP member as attorney general, but Foti "seems to be doing a good job, " he said. The Memorial hospital investigation was "the right thing to do, " Villere said, but he urged Foti to avoid the appearance of a witch hunt and a negative image nationally for Louisiana.
Follow-through important
The hospital case could have a bearing on Foti's reputation in the long run. His office has been involved in a number of cases resulting in arrests for fraud, including bilking money from individuals or the public assistance system during the storm recovery. But since Katrina, Foti has built up a mountain of highly visible and as yet unfinished investigations, leaving him vulnerable to the accusation that he's all bark and no bite.
St. Bernard Parish gave him jurisdiction to prosecute St. Rita nursing homeowners in the deaths of residents who were not evacuated before Katrina. Foti hopes to convene a grand jury on the case in the "next few weeks, " Wartelle said.
The attorney general is conducting a larger investigation of 13 nursing homes and eight hospitals where deaths occurred related to Katrina. The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has developed a case on one of those nursing homes, which Wartelle would not name. The case will soon be turned over to Jordan, she said.
Foti's consumer protection unit is investigating the Humane Society of the United States, a highly regarded animal-assistance group that helped finance and operate the huge pet-sheltering operation after Katrina, for possible misuse of private donations. The society said it has done nothing wrong and hopes the inquiry ends soon.
Among the more laggard investigations is Foti's long-awaited report on the Crescent City Connection incident, in which Gretna police stopped a crowd made up primarily of black New Orleanians from evacuating into Jefferson Parish after the storm. The attorney general jumped into the racially charged issue last fall but has yet to produce any conclusions. Foti is "preparing to give the result" of the report to Jordan, Wartelle said.
What about the corps?
It's the cases Foti is not pursuing that rile some critics. Mississippi's attorney general filed suit against insurance companies to compel them to pay for Katrina water damages that the insurers say are not covered, a problem plaguing property owners in Louisiana as well. But Foti has not done likewise on behalf of Louisiana policyholders.
Wartelle said the attorney general's office is "meeting on and considering" the insurance matters.
Louisiana political commentator and lawyer C.B. Forgotston said he wishes Foti would answer Jordan's complaints about the criminal justice workload in the city by helping the district attorney prosecute some of the criminals in New Orleans' jails. Most of all, Forgotston said, he would like to see Foti pursue a criminal case against the Army Corps of Engineers for its work on the levees that were breached during Katrina, flooding the city and St. Bernard Parish.
"If the general is really interested in pursuing the most heinous crimes committed after Aug. 29, 2005, he should look at the crimes committed against hundreds of innocent citizens by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, " said Forgotston, whose home was flooded. "While I welcome the general to the war, I would prefer that he arrive with the cavalry."
Wartelle said the attorney general's office is working with various teams of investigators to examine the levee faults.
The Memorial Medical Center case gives Foti a chance to show his crime-fighting stripes, Pinsonat said. That's an image that attorneys general in Louisiana like to project, especially because the predominant duties of the office are in reality more akin to those of a corporate lawyer, he said. In the long run, Foti's reputation may be defined by his handling of the post-storm investigations.

Brewers considering adding a reliever
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke had little time Wednesday to savor the fact his club had baseball's best record by a full three games. There were injury reports to gather on his banged-up position players, and pitch charts to pore over for a hard-worked bullpen.
The good news was that shortstop Jean Segura is expected back in the lineup Thursday in Cincinnati, according to Roenicke, after missing four starts with a facial laceration, and that third baseman Aramis Ramirez should be back, according to Ramirez, after missing two starts with a bruised left elbow.
Left Right fielder Ryan Braun remained day-to-day with a right rib-cage strain, and the same status applied to a slew of Brewers relievers, who have pitched remarkably well and alarmingly often during the Brewers hot start.
Four extra-inning games in the span of 10 days didn't help. Neither does the fact the Brewers are still being cautious with 22-year-old Rule 5 Draft pick Wei-Chung Wang, who pitched only three times in the team's first 27 games.
"We need to worry about it," Roenicke said. "[Brewers special assistant Craig] Counsell, when he gets in here a little bit, we need to talk about some things. We can't keep saying we're OK if the starter goes deep. You're still having to cover some of the innings."
Kyle Lohse on Tuesday delivered the Brewers' Major League-leading 22nd quality start, but the relievers are nonetheless piling up innings. Only 20 big league relievers had been used at least 14 times through Tuesday, and the Brewers have three of them. Closer Francisco Rodriguez entered the day tied for the Major League lead with 16 appearances (all of them scoreless) and was deemed unavailable on Wednesday. Left-hander Will Smith finally allowed a run Tuesday in his 15th appearance. Tyler Thornburg went two innings Tuesday for his 13th consecutive scoreless appearance, and has pitched 14 times.
"We'll try to figure out what we can do to ease this," Roenicke said. "We hate to go shorter on the bench, because we're so short already, but it would be nice to have another arm in here."
A potential move would be dependent on the health of Braun, Ramirez and Segura. The Brewers have so far avoided assigning Braun to the disabled list, and Roenicke did not indicate Wednesday whether that was still a possibility. Utility man Elian Herrera has options, but his versatility is very valuable to the Brewers in their current state. Second baseman Rickie Weeks has contributed little, but is due more than $9 million for the remainder of this season.
Among the relievers available at Triple-A Nashville are Rob Wooten, who is on the 40-man roster and has already appeared for the Brewers this season. Another right-hander, Donovan Hand, is pitching well but is not on the 40-man roster. If the Brewers want length, they couldd call-up top prospect Jimmy Nelson.
Whether or not the Brewers adjust the roster before Thursday's game in Cincinnati, they could have a move to make Saturday when outfielder Logan Schafer's DL stint expires. Schafer had been on rehab assignment at Class A Brevard County, and was advanced to Nashville on Wednesday.

Want to watch Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce hit the hard court this Saturday night? You won't find these Boston Celtics playing on Legends Way. Head across the river to Cambridge, where Rondo, Pierce and other NBA players - including Kevin Durant - will play a charity game at Harvard University. The game, which starts at 6 p.m. at Lavietes Pavilion, will raise money for Boston charities, including for meals for the less fortunate this holiday season. Tickets are $50 each. To order tickets, call (617) 495-2211.
Meanwhile, remember Allen Iverson? The one-time NBA All-Star who last played professionally in Turkey and who reportedly refused to play a supporting role for teams in Detroit, Memphis and Philadelphia? Seems the 36-year-old, 6-foot-tall superstar would gladly sit on the bench for the Boston Celtics, according to media reports.
And if you're looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for the Celtics fan in your family, a company named Perfect Timing (I kid you not) has just released its 2012 Boston Celtics calendars. Just wondering if the calendar has the previously planned schedule for next season printed in its pages. Maybe that's why the calendar has already been marked down from $13.99 to $11.89. Perfect timing, indeed.

Honoring Through Service
Blog Categories:
Community Renewal
On September 11, 2009, I was honored and privileged to commemorate the heroism of those who lost their lives during the terror attacks by engaging in service and volunteerism as part of the first officially recognized September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
In joining President Obama, the First Lady, and the thousands of volunteers across the country who participated on this historic day, I was inspired to continue my mission to empower through service. I was thrilled to learn that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama traveled from the White House across the Anacostia River to my disadvantaged DC Ward 7 community.
Just a few blocks from Lincoln Heights, one of the largest public housing developments in Washington, D.C., the President and First Lady joined AmeriCorps members and volunteers in painting a Habitat for Humanity home. I felt an undescribale energy just knowing that the President of the United States of America was a few blocks away from my home working to improve my community.
As for myself, I commemerated the day by serving with the students of the DC Scores Program at the Arts and Technology Academy (ATA). Just as I was gaining momentum to serve, these students were the fuel to my fire. I partnered with various organizations to improve the conditions of the school through outdoor beautification such as reconstruction and painting. Most importantly however, I motivated today's youth and tomorrow's future through words of encouragement, support and by leading by example.
I spoke with some of the youth about their experience and asked them "What does community service mean to you?" One responded by saying "Community service means making your area better". I asked another student, "How does it make you feel when you do community service?" She said, "It makes me feel very very very good, because I'm helping!"
DC SCORES inspires youth to lead healthy lifestyles, be engaged students and become agents of change in their communities. This after-school youth development program combines soccer, creative writing, and service-learning for 700 students in 23 elementary and middle schools in the District.
The visions of smoke rising from the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001 are visions I will never forget. The faces of the youth and the memories created on September 11, 2009 captured the essence of my experience participating in the first September 11 National Service and Remembrance Day. The pictures will serve as a reminder of the strength that I posses and my ability to strengthen others.

LEONI TWP. MI – Leoni Township officials are offering a financial incentive for residents along Flansburg Road to hook-up to the township's sewer line.
A public hearing on the issue has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Township Hall, 913 Fifth St.
In July, the Leoni Township Board of Trustees unanimously voted to extend the township's sewer line to encompass Classic Tuning Inc. in the amount of $165,000.
The company is headquartered on East South Street in the township and the line will run in front of homes located along Flansburg Road from South Street to Catalpa Drive.
Although township ordinance states homeowners living within 200 feet of any extended sewer line are required to connect to it, the board made an exception and are not requiring the connection.
For residents that do choose to connect to the line within six months, the township will not charge the $2,100 tap fees and will also offer a 10-year payment plan of 2 percent interest for the $3,288 grinder can.
"Since we're doing it for the company, we are not forcing others to hook-up but are offering them an incentive," Leoni Township Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager John Zang said.
Those who do not to hook-up to the sewer line now, but choose to after six months will not see any of the incentives, Zang said.
Leoni Township Clerk Michele Manke will be sending a letter to residents along Flansburg Road outlining the incentive this week.
Township officials have said they would like to see Classic Turning Inc. continue to expand in the township — and hope the sewer line extension is an incentive.
The company left a previous location in the former Eaton Corp. Argyle Street facility in Blackman Township. Equipment from that facility went to the company's 32,000-square-foot headquarters in Leoni and also to a new 15,000-square-foot facility on James McDivitt Drive near W. Michigan Avenue and M-60 in Sandstone Township.

I'm a busy crafter who loves to use bright colors and anything that's unexpected! My kids keep me busy as a bee, but I don't mind. They are the reason I craft. I love putting those great memories in scrapbook form for all to see and for future family members to adore.
A few of my other favorite things to do include baking, all things sports, altering things in my home, and photography. You will often find me making cupcakes with my kids and trying tons of recipes in the kitchen. You can find out even more about me over on my blog "Any Occasion: A unique mix of creativity."

Beyond the Fear of Data Disaster
What would you do if a disaster wiped out your ability to do business? Do you have a business continuity plan? Do you have an IT disaster plan? If not, your business could be in serious trouble should a natural or human-caused disaster strike. Orion Integration Group, Idaho's only full service technology integrator, is hosting a seminar to educate business owners and staff on how to get beyond the fear of disaster and on to building a better business. This event is free of charge, but registration is required by Nov. 20, 2012. While most people understand the importance of backing up their businesses data, this seminar will teach the owner to understand if their business is adequately prepared for disaster – whether because of Mother Nature or through human error. Leading backup and disaster recovery experts share what really matters when disaster strikes, what questions you should be asking yourself, and how to get ready for that inevitable day when your data and business are at risk.

A Halifax Police officer faces charges related to offences alleged to have occurred in Lantz, Hants County, as well as in Halifax and Dartmouth.
Nova Scotia's Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) announced April 24 it had laid new charges against Const. Chris Mosher.
The 30-year-old now faces four new counts of breaching release conditions by possessing alcohol.
The charges relate to matters alleged in Hants County and the Halifax Regional Municipality.
SIRT started an investigation into the matter in December 2013 as a result of information received from a member of the public. Ron MacDonald, the independent director of the team, is responsible for all decisions on charges and the laying of a charge
The final report can be found here.
No court date for Mosher's appearance has been set at this time.

ALPINE TOWNSHIP, MI -- A 25-year-old Belding man wanted in connection with a West Michigan crime spree -- a stabbing and robbery in Wyoming and carjacking in Greenville -- has been caught in New York state.
Kevin Michael Seely was found in Little Falls, NY, after authorities "developed an address" where he might be located.
He was arrested without incident, said Steve Hetherington with the U.S. Marshals office in Grand Rapids.
Seely is being held in the Herkimer County Jail.
His capture comes as police also captured Daniel Edward Leussenkamp Jr., 25, and Kimberly Ann Wonsey, 20, as they came out of a unit at York Creek apartments in Alpine Township on Wednesday afternoon.
Hetherington said police received a Silent Observer tip that Leussenkamp and Wonsey could be located at York Creek.
Related: Two of three suspects wanted in Wyoming stabbing, crime spree caught by feds
Police were conducting surveillance on an apartment when the two came out. Police ordered them to surrender.
Wonsey did so, but Leussenkamp ran and made it as much as a half-mile away before police apprehended him.
Hetherington credited the arrests to good police work and cooperative efforts with state police, U.S. Marshals, Grand Rapids Police, Rockford Police and Kent County sheriff's deputies.
A large police presence was at the York Creek complex on Wednesday afternoon.
The trio is suspected of taking part in a Saturday, July 19 stabbing and robbery of a 50-year-old man at Jim Williams Motel on S. Division Avenue in Wyoming.
They also are wanted for the alleged carjacking of a woman in the Meijer parking lot in Greenville, then forcing her to drive to a Greenville park as one person held a screwdriver to her neck.
Police also say they may be involved in a break-in of a home in Mount Clemens, near Detroit, then the robbery and assault of a woman in the home.
Hetherington said warrants have been issued for armed carjacking by Greenville police.
Leussenkamp also is held on a parole violation. Wonsey is in the Kent County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

Clay, NY - Onondaga County sheriff's deputies closed a portion of Route 57 in Clay during the evening commute home today because of an accident involving a Verizon utility truck and a car.
The road closed shortly after the crash, which was reported about 4:30 p.m. Traffic was detoured for more than two hours. The road reopened around 7 p.m.
Here is what happened, according to police and fire officials at the scene:
Bianca Valentino, 18, of Liverpool, was driving a 2003 Subaru south on Route 57. Witnesses told deputies that Valentino's car was in the median of the road "for a while" as she waited to turn left into the Kwik Fill Red Food Mart, Sheriff's Sgt. Carl Kruger said.
Valentino then suddenly turned left to enter the gas station parking lot and collided with a northbound 1996 Ford utility truck owned by Verizon, Kruger said.
The front of Valentino's car hit the front fender and driver's side door of the Verizon truck, driven by Daniel Leddy, 39, of Bethpage, Kruger said.
From the marks on the road, deputies said they believe Leddy swerved to avoid a crash, but Valentino was already too far into her turn. The Verizon truck, which had a bucket on the top of the vehicle, was top heavy, Kruger said.
The Verizon truck rolled onto its driver's side and came to rest next to the utility pole, Kruger said. National Grid arrived at the scene, but the utility pole was not damaged, he said.
New Verizon FiOS boxes and cable equipment were strewn all over the road, and hydraulic fluids spilled onto the road after the crash. Verizon sent crews to the scene to retrieve the equipment, Kruger said.
Moyers Corners volunteer firefighters worked around the spill and helped Leddy, who was trapped inside the Verizon truck, Moyers Corners Battalion 1 Fire Chief Steve Zaferakis said.
Firefighters extricated Leddy, who was wearing a seat belt and trapped inside, from the Verizon truck, Zaferakis said. Leddy suffered a broken nose and facial cuts, Kruger said. He also complained of head, neck and back pain, deputies said.
Valentino complained of neck and head pain, deputies said.
NOVA Ambulance took both Leddy and Valentino to Upstate University Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

If you're nervous about standing up in front of a stadium filled with people and singing the national anthem, then the scene Monday night at Ron Tonkin Field probably wasn't for you.
The Hillsboro Hops held auditions for people wanting to sing the national anthem during the 2014 baseball season. There were about 45 people who showed up for the auditions. From small and young to a whole choir from Intel, each entry sang the U.S. or Canadian anthem.
The Hillsboro Hops will make their home debut on Wednesday, June 18, with a series against Salem-Keizer. The Hops are the Single-A baseball affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hillsboro's season, which opens on the road Friday, runs from mid-June to early September.

KickStart by aciid
Kick players with a custom message until the server has finished starting up.
I developed my plugin, KickStart for our server after noticing that some plugins on 1.3 seem to take longer to start up, during this time we noticed that if parts of some plugins (for instance WorldGuard region flags) hadn't fully loaded players were able to bypass any protection they offered. KickStart can be used to combat this problem, and can also be used to optimise the startup of your server since theoretically the server should start up a little faster if it doesn't have to deal with players joining during this time.
This plugin has 2 modes, its primary mode (enabled by default) is to check the interval between each server tick at a configurable rate, checking to see if the interval meets the target threshold, this check will be carried out a configurable amount of times until all checks have passed meaning the server's ticks are stable. Players will be kicked with a custom message until that happens. All of these values are defined in the config.
The second mode is just a simple "Kick players for x amount of seconds upon server startup".
Newest plugin version: v0.7
Compatible with: [1.3.1-R2.0]+
Commands & permissions:
- kickstart.bypass
Bypasses kickstart plugin, only if enabled in config!
/ks or /kickstart toggle
- Reload config and toggle plugin on/off (player only)
- Requires kickstart.toggle or OP permission!
### Target threshold is the percent of max tps the server needs to pass the check ### Default 10 puts the threshold at 90% (100-10), equal to 18/20tps (20 - 10%) target threshold: 10 ### Check interval in ticks, when the plugin should calculate tick delays. ### Should not be set below 10. Default value is fine. check interval: 40 ### Amount of times the target threshold has to be beaten. This will be checked ### on each interval defined above. target match: 5 ### If set to true, the server must pass all tick checks cleanly without failing ### in between, if one check fails the count is reset to 0! Recommended! consecutive: true ### Enable this to use the feature below. If disabled then feature above will be used instead. Use seconds: false ### How long players will be kicked for after server start, in seconds. Delay in seconds: 30 ### The message that players will be kicked with when joining during server startup. Kick message: Server is starting up please try again in a few seconds! ### Enable this to see tick check fails/passes as they happen in console. Extra output: true ### Enable this to allow OP and players with permission to bypass KickStart ### (NOT RECOMMENDED) Allow bypass: false
Quote from KickStart v0.6:
+ Added to mcstats.org's Plugin Metrics
Quote from KickStart v0.6:
+ Added option to bypass for players with OP or permissions. Disabled by default
If enabled, plugin will use PlayerLoginEvent instead of AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent!
Quote from KickStart v0.5:
+ Added custom target threshold for TPS feature
+ Added log extra TPS output option
+ Added consecutive option (reset count if a single check fails)
- Removed unused onPlayerJoin listener
Quote from KickStart v0.3:
+ Added new default TPS feature;
+ Configurable check interval & amount of times to reach threshold (-10%)
Quote from KickStart v0.2:
+ Added custom kick message (set in config)
+ Added custom delay (set in config)
+ Added more tries/catches to avoid errors.
Quote from KickStart v0.1:
Created plugin! Feature: Kick players for 20 seconds on start up!

hi stucking, How do you create a plugin like can u send me a link -grabra
Tux2 Nov 08, 2012 at 01:19 UTC - 0 likes
On line 141 of KickStart.java you have the line: KickStart.this.getServer().getScheduler().cancelAllTasks(); which kills all tasks. Fix this error as it is killing quite a few plugins in their tracks when they start up threads. The proper way of killing your tasks is this way: Bukkit.getScheduler().cancelTasks(this);

If you didn't take the time to read how my plugins work, don't expect me to take the time to diagnose your stupidity.
If updates to my plugins depended on donations, they would never update. Donate!

text: A Colonoscopy Showed I Had Colon CancerDown the street from Grant Medical Center sits a law school. For years, a man shuttled employees and students from a nearby parking lot to the school. He later became a security officer for the school. He loved to tell jokes to those who rode on his shuttle or passed by his security desk. Many people came to enjoy the fun-spirited man who made them laugh each day. They knew him as Joe Adams, a shuttle driver and security officer.Grant Medical Center knows Joe Adams as a survivor. In June 2007, Joe came to Grant for a colonoscopy and was subsequently diagnosed with colon cancer. Two months later Joe underwent surgery. It was not long after surgery when Joe went to see Shakir Sarwar, MD. Dr. Sarwar prescribed a chemotherapy regimen and Joe spent two months visiting the Grant Infusion Center. Joe relied on his family for most of his support. His co-workers were also a great support to Joe, especially when he returned to work only 17 days after his surgery. I Beat It Once and I'm Not Giving UpNearly two years later, Joe returned to Grant for an annual screening and was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer to the lung. Once again, Joe turned to Grant for his cancer treatment.Today, Joe continues to receive treatment for his diagnosis. He no longer works and has no insurance coverage. Joe feels supported by everyone on his care team. This includes the staff of the Infusion Center, his family, his patient advocate, Jamie Harness, and his physicians."The staff in the Infusion Center has definitely impacted my treatment," Joe says. "I feel very comfortable asking anyone about my treatment. The whole staff has been great to me.""My patient advocate has made a big difference in my life. I would not be getting chemo if it were not for Jamie." My Patient Navigator Helped Me With Treatment ExpensesGrant has provided many resources to Joe, some of which he describes as making a big difference in his life. Joe was referred to the Patient Advocate and Support Services (PASS) program, which connected Joe with Jamie. "My patient advocate has made a big difference in my life. I would not be getting chemo if it were not for Jamie." She also helped Joe apply for financial assistance, which he now receives. In addition, she obtained drug assistance approvals, helping with Joe's medication expenses. "The drug assistance helps immensely," states Joe. "If it was not for that, stuff would just pile up on me."Overall, Joe describes his experience at Grant Medical Center as comfortable. "I'm confident in everyone there. When they tell me what I need, I do not have to question it."I'm a Cancer SurvivorJoe Adams is more than just a shuttle driver or security officer. He is a cancer survivor. Grant Medical Center's Cancer Care team not only treats Joe's cancer, but they focus on treating Joe. With the help of specialized physicians, experienced staff and patient resources, Joe remains a fun-spirited person and continues to offer humor to those around him.

DETROIT – A look at the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series:
Western Conference
(1) Vancouver vs. (8) Los Angeles: The Canucks won the Presidents' Trophy for the second year in a row, after a bit of an early season hangover from losing to the Bruins in the Cup finals. They expect to have leading goal-scorer Daniel Sedin (concussion) back and they're deep everywhere. Goaltender Roberto Luongo might have a short leash, with Cory Schneider playing so well. Kings' goalie Jonathan Quick had a 1.96 goals-against average and 10 shutouts, but doesn't get much support from a team ranked 29th in scoring, despite a strong core of forwards. The Kings haven't won a playoff series since 2001 against the Red Wings.
Khan: Canucks in 6.
Savage: Canucks in 6.
(2) St. Louis vs. (7) San Jose: Were the offensively-challenged Blues exposed down the stretch, going 4-4-4 in their final 12 games? They rank 14th in scoring among playoff teams and lack a go-to star forward. But they don't give up much, leading the NHL in GAA behind a strong defense and one-two goaltending punch of Brian Elliott and Jaroslav Halak. The Sharks are a hard team to figure, a supposed Cup contender that struggled to make the playoffs. They boast three 30-goal scorers (Logan Couture, Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski) but lack secondary scoring. Still, a dangerous, if not unpredictable, team.
Khan: Sharks in 6.
Savage: Sharks in 7.
(3) Phoenix vs. (6) Chicago: Coyotes coach Dave Tippett continues to maximize what appears to be minimal talent. Former Red Wing Ray Whitney, at age 39, lead Phoenix with 77 points. Former Tampa Bay castoff Mike Smith has had a tremendous season in net and probably won't melt down in the playoffs like Ilya Bryzgalov did. The Coyotes, who always seem to be living on borrowed time, haven't won a playoff series since moving to the Desert in 1996. The Blackhawks might have found their groove, going 12-2-4 in their final 18, all without their best player, Jonathan Toews (concussion), who's due back in this round. Chicago's defense and goaltending (Corey Crawford) are suspect, but it has too much firepower (Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa) for Phoenix.
Khan: Blackhawks in 6.
Savage: Blackhawks in 6.
(4) Nashville vs. (5) Detroit: Was the Red Wings' late-season slide (7-11-4) simple due to their rash of injuries? Or is it a sign of deeper problems? And will they be able to overcome their shoddy road record (17-21-3), which ranks 15th among playoff teams? When healthy and clicking, Detroit has the talent and depth to go a long way. Special teams will be huge; it's an area Nashville (No. 1 on power play) has a decided edge. The Predators beefed up late in the year by adding Alexander Radulov, Andrei Kostitsyn, Paul Gaustad and Hal Gill, raising expectations for a team that was strong defensively and in goal. The Red Wings' postseason experience could be the difference in what is expected to be a tight, hard-fought series. The Predators didn't win their first series until last year.
Khan: Red Wings in 7.
Savage: Predators in 6.
Eastern Conference
(1) N.Y. Rangers vs. (8) Ottawa: The Rangers stumbled a bit down the stretch, going 10-9-1 in their final 20 games. But they have high-end forwards in Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards, good depth, and most importantly, perhaps the best goalie in the league in Henrik Lundqvist. The Senators surprised many by making the playoffs under first-year coach Paul MacLean, the former Detroit assistant. But they rank last among playoff teams in goals against, and that will get them nowhere this time of year.
Khan: Rangers in 6.
Savage: Rangers in 5.
(2) Boston vs. (7) Washington: It was a strange hot and cold season for the defending Cup champion Bruins. It's hard to repeat (last team to do it was Detroit in 1997 and '98), but Boston has the talent, depth, size and goaltending to make another long run. The Capitals are the most disappointing team in the league, one that went into the tank after a 7-0 start and looks unmotivated a lot of nights. But they're also a dangerous club with tremendous talent (Alexander Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Alexander Semin) when they feel like playing.
Khan: Bruins in 7.
Savage: Bruins in 5.
(3) Florida vs. (6) New Jersey: Far and away the least-exciting series. That seems to be the case often with the Devils. They're far from flashy, but very efficient under former Florida coach Pete DeBoer. New Jersey could be a sleeper. It has star power (Ilya Kovalchuk, Patrik Elias, Zach Parise), one of the all-time greats in goal (Martin Brodeur) and the best penalty killing in the league. Revamped Florida ended the NHL's longest playoff drought (10 seasons) and is seeking its first series win since its surprising run to the Cup finals in 1996. The Panthers, led by former Red Wings prospect Tomas Fleischmann's 61 points, don't stand out in any category and will have trouble scoring.
Khan: Devils in 6.
Savage: Devils in 7.
(4) Pittsburgh vs. (5) Philadelphia: The Keystone State rivalry will be an entertaining series with a plethora of storylines, following the bad blood between the teams (and their coaches) late in the season. The Flyers will regret finishing one point ahead of New Jersey to draw this tough matchup. The Penguins feature the likely Hart Trophy winner in Evgeni Malkin and former MVP Sidney Crosby, who had 25 points in 14 games since returning from a concussion. They went 17-4-1 in their final 22 games. The Flyers, led by likely Hart finalist Claude Giroux, have plenty of offense, but their defense is suspect and Bryzgalov has much to prove.
Khan: Penguins in 7.
Savage: Penguins in 6.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A game between Ohio State and TCU in 2009 almost was scheduled but then fell apart. The home-and-home series between the Buckeyes and Horned Frogs announced today for 2018 and 2019 shows how much college football has changed.
Ohio State will visit Fort Worth on Sept. 15, 2018, with TCU coming to Columbus on Sept. 21, 2019. The Buckeyes already have a home game with Cincinnati scheduled for Sept. 8, 2018, while this is the first announced game for 2019.
All this fits with Ohio State's new scheduling philosophy, and it certainly seems possible that another major conference opponent will be added for those seasons. A schedule that would include Cincinnati, TCU and another high-profile team among four nonconference games wouldn't be bad at all.
In 2007, the Buckeyes and Horned Frogs nearly scheduled a game for 2009. TCU wound up going undefeated during that regular season and finishing fourth in the final regular season BCS standings. If the Horned Frogs had beaten the Buckeyes in Columbus, it may have impressed the voters, and computer ratings, enough to get them into the national title game.
As I wrote in 2009, an associate AD at TCU told me the Buckeyes were very interested in that game, but it fell apart over logistics. That would have been a single game at Ohio Stadium. And at that point, Ohio State, "for obvious reasons" had no interest in a regular season game at TCU.
That was then.
Now, Ohio State is looking to beef up its schedule, TCU is part of the Big 12 and has been in the national title picture for several years, and the Horned Frogs are touting their $164 million stadium renovation.
This also gets the Buckeyes back to Texas for the first time since beating the Texas Longhorns in Austin in 2006, which is a plus for the OSU fans in Texas and the potential recruits down there. Starting with the Class of 2015 recruits, who are current sophomores, Urban Meyer will be able to tell them the Buckeyes will play a game in their homestate.
Fan are already asking whether this game could wind up at Dallas Cowboys Stadium in nearby Arlington, a football palace which has been hosting a college football kickoff game for several years, including Alabama-Michigan this season.
A lot can happen in six years, and even with the renovation, the capacity for Amon Carter Stadium is under 45,000.
Wherever the game is, so far, Ohio State's new scheduling plan looks pretty good.

Although Jimmy Forrest is well known for composing and playing the huge R&B hit "Night Train" his bebop tenor sax playing ranks among the best. This 1959 session features the very first recording of guitarist GRANT GREEN who later went on to Blue Note records. These were also early recordings of drummer Elvin Jones who was yet to join the legendary John Coltrane Quartet. The less than gentle title of this album should give you a gleaming insight to the hearty type of offering enclosed; uninhibited mainstream bebop.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Mobile city officials on Tuesday announced a significant drop in revenue and warned of impending budget cuts.
Income from business license fees was down 18 percent compared with the first quarter of last fiscal year, likely a result of slow sales and shuttered storefronts, said city Finance Director Barbara Malkove.
At the same time, General Fund revenue from sales and use taxes ran 6.3 percent behind projections, according to numbers through January.
Chief of Staff Al Stokes said he would deliver recommended cuts by the end of March to Mayor Sam Jones.
"We are going to do what we have to do to balance the budget because we are obligated by law to do so," Stokes said.
Stokes invited City Council members to suggest areas where the city could make cuts.
"We don't anticipate having all the answers," he said. "We know we do not."
Malkove announced the drop in license fee revenue to the council at its Tuesday meeting.
Jones, who has cancer, was out of town for medical treatment, according to the city.
The city's 2010 budget anticipated a drop in business license revenue, but nothing approaching the collapse reflected in the latest financial report.
The city in its first quarter collected $19.3 million in business license fees, compared with $23.5 million last year.
Malkove said that some businesses, during this difficult economy, might simply be late in renewing their licenses.
Stragglers, though, can only explain part of the shortfall.
License fees are based on sales, so when businesses make less money, the city makes less money, Malkove said.
A state-mandated change in the way the city assesses business license fees may also account for some of the decline.
Under the old rules, a single store that had several "businesses" -- for example, a grocery that also had a pharmacy -- had to buy a separate license for each.
The new rules now call for a single license to cover everything, as long as none of the store's smaller business aspects contribute more than 10 percent of overall sales.
The city entered this fiscal year, which began in October, having already made some budget cuts. At the time, Jones announced he would leave certain positions vacant in order to save about $12 million.

In November, the state Department of Motor Vehicles unveiled the new "Empire Gold" license plate design and said motorists would be required to buy them starting in April.
The cost to car owners would have been $25, up from the current $15 fee. There would have been an extra $20 charge to keep the same letter and number combination.
Paterson pitched the program as a way to create $130 million in revenue and get rid of old plates with worn reflective material. He backed down after public protest.
The New York State Association of County Clerks helped fight the plan, delivering boxes of petitions to Paterson's office late last month with more than 106,330 signatures protesting it.
The state will move ahead with the new license-plate design, Paterson spokesman Morgan Hook said.
When supplies of the current design run out, probably around April 1, the state will start making the new blue and gold plates, which are cheaper to produce than the current plates, Hook said.

SAN JOSÉ, CALIF. – Concerned over several recent dog attacks on children and adults in the area, Supervisor Ken Yeager called for strengthened local protections against potentially dangerous dogs. Today, the Board of Supervisors enacted policies to bolster owners' responsibility for their dogs' actions.
"We shouldn't wait for a more serious tragedy to strike in our unincorporated areas before we react," said Yeager. "We need to be more proactive in preventing serious injuries to our residents."Today's Board action expands on the County's existing dog safety laws. Specifically, the new law:
Furthermore, the County will explore new voluntary measures to reduce dog bites and attacks, including:
Under existing law, the County's Animal Care and Control Department has the power to declare a dog as "potentially dangerous" if it shows a pattern of aggression toward people or other domestic animals. The expanded law will allow staff to identify "potentially dangerous" dogs sooner and require owners to take preventive measures against attacks. This includes proper home confinement, use of a leash and muzzle by an adult who can handle the dog while on walks, and adequate liability insurance.Through service agreements with twelve private veterinary clinics, the County funds a voluntary Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program. Currently, that program also offers limited free spay/neuter surgeries for pit bull-type dogs. Expansion of that program will encourage even more responsible dog ownership. The County of Santa Clara accepts donations to its Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program through its web-site at www.countypet.org.While making dog owners more responsible is critical to reducing dog attacks, public education is also important. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention research has found that adults and children can learn to reduce their chances of being bitten. A 1998 pilot program by the Nevada Department of Agriculture that taught first graders proper behavior when interacting with dogs brought incidents of dog bite victims seeking medical treatment down by 11%. A similar program in Santa Clara County could prevent even more injuries."My goal from the beginning was to protect our residents from dangerous dogs," said Yeager. "In the end, we have a law that is comprehensive and effective."The dog population in unincorporated Santa Clara County is estimated at 20,300. Animal Care and Control officers investigate approximately 110 reported incidents of dogs biting humans each year in unincorporated Santa Clara County. Approximately one to two of those bites per year are unprovoked and severe. Language for the new ordinances must be heard by the Board of Supervisors two more times. The laws will take effect 60 days after that.

Writing poems about visual art is a rich and trenchant genre. The practice — it is called ekphrasis — dates to Homer and continues through W. H. Auden to (for example) Monica Youn's wonderful piece on a famous art theft, "Stealing 'The Scream.'" In line with this, Stephanie McKenzie has produced a volume of works dedicated to two renowned and remarkable painters and the possible tangents running between them. In 1901, Emily Carr travelled to France, where she may, or may not, have seen Vincent van Gogh's exhibition at the Galerie Bernheim Jeune. Such a tantalizing gap in biographical surety only adds resonances to the references Carr would make to his character and work. "I have been reading the life of Vincent Van Gogh," she wrote, "poor chap, so strong and so weak!" These poems are about the artists, their process of painting, and specific works: Woman with a Mourning Shawl (after Van Gogh) It is not the shawl but the right eye, panicked pointed. It knows of mourning but more of fear. Your fingers? Gnarled children. If I could kiss you, it would be the brow. Give you sleep. Their structure often includes an introductory quote, something written by or about Carr. The poems are short and spare, the spacing precise. This echoes Carr's own brisk, bull's-eye-accurate observations: "Everyone is tremendously alone in this world when it comes right down to the core and there are so few cores that match." This murder mystery is Mike Martin's second in what looks to be a series, with Grand Bank's RCMP officer Sgt. Winston Windflower on the case of another mysterious death. This time, two children playing on a beach have discovered a body in the water (at "the T," as the stretch of beach is locally known): An hour later, the beach was littered with police and emergency vehicles along with a few dozen gawkers who'd heard the noise from their nearby cabins along the shoreline. Two RCMP officers in fluorescent vests were stringing yellow police tape from two wooden posts about a hundred yards apart. Corporal Eddie Tizzard was shooing the onlookers back from taking a closer look at the tarpaulin-covered lump on the ground behind the tape. There's no ID. It is a young male, wearing a wedding ring — and with a small fortune in American bills sewn into his jean jacket. And then a second body turns up floating in the ocean. As the case expands, and seems connected to some large-scale drug dealing, Windflower's own workload picks up pace and influence. Fortunately, the ever-loyal Tizzard is a reliable and helpful assistant. Meanwhile, Windflower's romance with the alluring, red-haired Sheila Hillier, proprietress of the Mug-Up, is gathering strength and sparks, even as it encounters a challenge or two. And at the same time, Windflower, a Cree from Northern Alberta, finds his roots in Grand Bank are growing deeper than ever: He gazed out at the lighthouse, long a symbol of the port of Grand Bank, a beacon to distressed ships at sea. He couldn't believe it when he heard the other day that they were thinking of taking it down. It hadn't been an active lighthouse for many years but to him at least it was the real symbol of Grand Bank. Not the Tidy Town sign on the way in or even the Grand Bank Health Centre. The lighthouse was a symbol of the glory days of the Grand Bank schooners and the Bank Fishery, the most profitable fishery in the province's history. But he sure wasn't in charge around here was he. There are some flaws. As with the first book ("The Walker on the Cape") the editing is very spotty. There is word repetition, even within a single sentence, as well as punctuation errors, misused words ("supply train" for "supply chain") and too many clichés. But that might not be a big deterrence. People won't come to this book for perfect grammar. They want the thoughtful mystery, the location and scenery — with the wind and fog and harbours and precious summer days — the meals Windflower creates and enjoys — fried cod and scrunchions, scallops with rosé sauce, peanut butter cheesecake — and they want to spend time with the hardworking, optimistic, curious-minded Windflower. Joan Sullivan is a St. John's-based journalist and editor of The Newfoundland Quarterly. Her column returns Aug. 31.

Rob Beidler played by all the rules
About two and a half years ago I was a walk on at the Glen Eagle golf course in Arlington. As it turns out, Rob Beidler was a walk on. We had never met before but teamed up and played 18 as a twosome. Our conversation during the game turned to his pending campaign for Snohomish County sheriff.
We talked about his qualifications, some of his plans, his education and his career path. I was immediately impressed. But even more impressive was his integrity with his golf game. Rob played by all of the rules. Not just the 90 degree cart rule or the repair your ball mark rule but the real rules of the game.
He took no mulligans, or gimmees and even added a stroke on one hole because he grounded his club in a sand trap. This is one honest guy. Because of what I saw in him that day I did two things Ive never done. Write a letter to a newspaper for a politician and make a political contribution.
I think he will make a good sheriff.
Thanks for letting me share my experience with Rob.

text: Welcome! I find the more scientific support for primal/paleo living fascinating, though somewhat beyond my grasp. I think one of the reasons that Mark doesn't link to more studies and papers is that there simply aren't any. Or at least very few. There are tons of blogs out there that may link to more studies etc though. You can find some of them through the forums (I think there are some in a sticky thread in Meet & Greet, and the Resources and Research threads usually have links to good information).

Nick Cave hasn't played electric guitar for years and his primitive, grinding approach to the instrument inspired the name of the band and the thrashing, primal, punky noise it spits out on its debut album. With Bad Seeds Warren Ellis (violin, keyboards, bouzouki, guitar), Martyn Casey (bass), and Jim Sclavunos (drums) given permission to take the music anywhere they wanted to go, Cave began improvising lyrics and Grinderman took off on leathery wings like a rabid bat trying to escape or maybe embrace oblivion. While the band wails, Cave snarls like an intoxicated lothario, using sexual frustration as a metaphor for all the aggravations and limitations we face as we age. The violent, brutal squall of tunes like "Get It On," "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to Mars)" and "Love Bomb" prove Cave has no intention of going quietly into that good night. Grinderman delivers an invigorating blast of manic rock 'n' roll energy that's all too rare these days.

|[TowerTalk] One Man Tower / Versatower
|"Gavin Taylor GM0GAV" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
|Wed, 18 Feb 2004 21:47:18 -0000
Versatower is an English product that was made by a company called Strumech. I think production is now being continued by Francis & Lewis who are a big commercial tower manufacturer. Versatowers have been around for many years, they make free standing crankups up to 60ft and guyed crankups up to 120ft. 90% of G hams who have a tower will be using one of these, I think quite a lot have been sold into Europe also. I use a freestanding 60ft and hope to add a 80ft guyed soon. Great product, but getting pretty expensive now. 73 Gavin GM0GAV ----- Original Message ----- From: "David L.

Do you have a wait list?
We rarely have a wait time of more than a few days although we are seeing increasing numbers of students. The best time to come to the Counseling Center is at the beginning of the semester. Students will be scheduled with a therapist as soon as an opening becomes available. Emergencies and crisis are dealt with immediately or as soon as possible depending on the nature of the situation.
