Moyer to Have Surgery
Jamie Moyer wants one more shot.
He announced on The Moyer Foundation's Facebook page yesterday he plans to have surgery on his left elbow, which he injured in July with the Phillies and injured again this month pitching in Winter Ball. It is believed he is having Tommy John surgery tomorrow, which would give him the opportunity to try pitching again in 2012.
"We are cautiously optimistic superman will make a comeback!" he and his wife wrote on the page.
Moyer turned 48 on Nov. 18, so he would be heading into 2012 Spring Training at 49.
It would be an interesting story to watch.
Moyer, who is a free agent, went 9-9 with a 4.84 ERA in 19 starts this season before he injured his elbow during a July 20 start in St. Louis. Moyer rehabbed the elbow with his eye on competing for a job somewhere this upcoming spring. But his plans derailed when he injured his elbow again during his first Winter Ball start.
Bored at Work on Monday?
It could be a quiet week for the Phillies other than Jayson Werth declining salary arbitration tomorrow, which is expected and should not be made into a big deal. But I would think things could pick up next week during the Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
In the meantime, I'm sure you're looking for something to read regarding the Phillies so here's a look at the Jose Contreras deal, if you're interested:
2011: $2.5 million
2012: $2.5 million
2013 club option: $2.5 million or $500,000 buyout.
Performance bonuses: $50,000 for 50 games pitched; $50,000 for 55 games pitched; $50,000 for 60 games pitched; $100,000 for 65 games pitched; $100,000 for 70 games pitched; $100,000 for 30 games finished; $100,000 for 35 games finished; $100,000 for 40 games finished; $250,000 for 45 games finished; $250,000 for 50 games finished; $500,000 for 55 games finished; $500,000 for 60 games finished.
Award bonuses: $50,000 for All Star; $100,000 for World Series MVP; $50,000 for League Championship Series MVP; $100,000 for Rolaids ($75,000 for second; $50,000 for third); $25,000 for Gold Glove; $25,000 for Silver Slugger.

REYNOLDS TOWNSHIP, MI - A 44-year-old man was injured Monday after a pin-in crash with a semi truck in Montcalm County, police said.
The man, from Morley, was hospitalized with nonlife-threatening injuries after rescuers extricated him from a Buick Regal following the crash about 7:34 a.m. along M-46 near Edgar Road.
Howard City police said a Freightliner semi truck driven by a 51-year-old Levering man pulled out of the M-46 Truck Stop, 19674 W. Edgar Road, and turned westbound on M-46 in the path of the Buick traveling eastbound.
The Buick struck the rear axle of the trailer, causing the dual axles to rip off and the trailer to fall to the ground, police said.
Rescue personnel extricated the driver from the Buick.
Police cited the driver of the semi for failing to yield the right of way.
The collision closed a portion of M-46 for three hours.

LAWRENCE — A Hamilton woman was hit by a car and killed Friday night at the intersection of Brunswick Pike and Bakers Basin Road, police said.
Tess Roach, 43, was attempting to cross Brunswick Pike on foot when she was hit by a 2002 Honda Accord traveling in the northbound right lane at 10:11 p.m., according to Lt. Tom Ritter.
The driver of the vehicle was Kuokow Chu, 46, of Lawrence. Summonses have not been issued yet.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor, Ritter said. There is a crosswalk and a traffic light at the intersection, but he said it's unclear who had the right of way.
Lawrence police are investigating, with the assistance of the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office. Anyone with information about the incident can call (609) 896-1111.

Member Country Activities for Japan
In 2014, the total installed wind capacity in Japan reached 2,788 MW with 1,941 turbines, including 49.6 MW from 26 offshore wind turbines (Figure 1). The annual net increase was 119 MW. Total energy produced from wind turbines during 2014 was about 5.1 TWh, which corresponds to 0.5% of national electric demand (965.2 TWh).
Japan's wind power market has yet to take off. Currently, the biggest obstacle is the procedural delay due to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures applied to all wind farms over 10 MW since October 2012, which takes about four years to complete. Only ten projects totaling 203 MW have completed the process, although there are 88 projects totaling 6,226 MW are still in progress.

Whew! The first weekend of LaughFest is in the books, and I don't know about you guys but my funny bone is fairly worn out after attending multiple shows this weekend.
LaughFest, which celebrates laughter for the health of it, runs for 10 days—March 6 through 16—meaning there are lots more laughs and events to experience. Knowing that, I've spent countless hours strengthening my funny bone to prepare. I'm ready for more, and I hope you are too.
With a full week and weekend still ahead for the seriously funny festival, here are some more noteworthy shows still on the schedule.
April Macie and Brad Williams
Appearing together at the Orbit Room on March 11 are April Macie and Brad Williams. Macie travels the world collecting stories and experiences that she tells in humorous, relatable tales to audiences worldwide. As a finalist on NBC's 'Last Comic Standing', she's gone on to appear on 'Talk Soup', 'The Howard Stern Show', 'E! Entertainment', and many more programs.
Williams brings a high-energy routine to the stage. He was even labeled as "Prozac with a head" by Robin Williams. He has a great ability to make humorous observations on his disability of being a dwarf, and is sure to leave you laughing as he covers relationships, sex, and race.
The show is free (but still ticketed. You can pick up your ticket at LaughFest Central) and starts at 8 p.m.
LaughFest's Best
What makes LaughFest's Best great is it's a grab-bag of funny, featuring an assortment of local, regional, and national comedians. It's a perfect opportunity for those unable to attend multiple shows to experience a sampling of comedians from across the festival. So get your ticket for this secret line-up of comedians set to take the stage on Thursday, March 13 at the Pyramid Scheme—you never know whom may take the stage. Tickets are $10, but those with a valid college ID can get tickets for $7 at LaughFest Central.
Jen Kirkman - 'I Seem Fun' live podcast taping
While Jen Kirkman's first two shows quickly sold out, tickets still remain for the live taping of her podcast, I Seem Fun. This improvised podcast features Kirkman weaving small observations into bigger stories relating to her past and present. She will give you unfiltered thoughts on anything from her life to what's happening in the world. The taping is at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 14 at McFadden's. Tickets are $17.50.
Jeff Allen
With over three decades of performing under his belt, Jeff Allen is one of the premium clean comedians working today. He'll bring his humor, which often centers around marriage and living with teenagers, to the Dimnent Chapel at Hope College on Saturday, March 15 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $22.50.
Helping to close out the festival on March 16 is Sinbad, one of Comedy Central's top 100 stand-up comedians of all time. He's had audiences rolling in laughter for two decades now with his story-telling abilities. With tickets still remaining, seeing Sinbad is a can't-miss opportunity as his performance is bound to be a highlight of this year's festival. His show is at 4:30 p.m. at the Fountain Street Church. Tickets are $32.50 and $39.50.
These five shows are just touching the surface of what remains this week and into the weekend for LaughFest. For a full list of events, visit laughfestgr.org.

How to Prepare Your Vehicle for a Road Trip
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
Summer is a great time to hit the road for a memorable car trip, but you need to do a little bit of planning ahead before you jump in the car. Taking some or all of the following steps can help you prepare your vehicle before your trip, so you can help prevent potential car troubles along the way and arrive safely at your destination.
1. Schedule a vehicle checkup a few weeks before your trip
Allowing ample time to have your car checked before a trip may come in handy if a filter, belt, or other automotive part needs to be ordered before your departure date. Your mechanics should check the battery, windshield wipers, brakes, and tires, and top off all fluids.
2. Double-check your vehicle the day before your trip
The day before you hit the open road, do a last-minute check of your vehicle's windshield washer fluid, lights, tire pressure, engine oil, and coolant. Doing this extra check will help you ensure that your vehicle is as ready as you are for your trip, and will also give you peace of mind before you even pull out of your driveway.
3. Keep your vehicle's important documents handy
Gather all of the important documents for your vehicle, such as proof of registration, car insurance information, and the manual, and tuck them safely away in your glove box. If you happen to get pulled over by a cop or have a small vehicle malfunction, having these documents handy will help you be prepared.
4. Have emergency equipment on hand
Before starting your trip, make sure that you have emergency equipment in the trunk of your vehicle, such as a tire iron, spare tire, jack, flashlight, first aid kit, blanket, and jumper cables. If your car battery dies or you get a flat, you'll be better prepared to fix the problem and continue to your destination without adding too much time to your trip. If you are a member of a car club or have emergency roadside services through your insurance carrier, a credit card, or the vehicle manufacturer, you should also bring the contact information along in case you need professional assistance.
5. Don't forget the map
If you travel with a map, you should map out your route beforehand to get an idea of your travel time, distance, and anything you may encounter along the way, such as rush hour traffic. If you prefer to travel with a GPS, make sure it is charged and has your destination and any stopping points programmed into it before you leave. You should also pack a map with your route mapped out, just in case your GPS loses connection or malfunctions before you complete your trip.
6. Pack snacks and drinks for the trip
Your vehicle isn't road trip ready without a bag or cooler full of snacks and drinks. Pack several bottles of water or other drinks, along with your favorite travel-friendly snacks, to avoid frequent stops and curb any between-meal cravings.
Finally, don't forget to book a stay at a Country Inns & Suites By Carlson hotel along your route. You can even save up to 25 percent at participating hotels when you book and pay at least 14 days in advance with our Advance Purchase Rate.
Are you a frequent "road tripper"? Tell us how you get your vehicle ready for a trip in the comments section below.

P. Wintour and W. Woodward
Guardian, March 1st 2001, p. 13
As part of a drive to raise basic literacy skills, government is proposing that, as a condition of receiving benefit, the illiterate unemployed or claimants on the New Deal be required to attend basic reading and writing courses.
T. Hyland and D. Musson
Education and Training, vol. 43, 2001, p. 25-29
After two years of operation, the New Deal for Young People has been extensively evaluated both by official government and independent researchers. In future the NDYP will need to target more difficult clients with problems of illiteracy, drug abuse and criminal records. This means that more time will need to be allowed at the gateway stage to deal with severe basic skills and motivational problems and stronger links formed with post-school vocational education and training.
N. Timmins
Financial Times, Feb. 28th 2001, p. 4
Research has shown that Employment Action Zones deliver twice as many jobs for the long term unemployed as the conventional New Deal for the over 25s, and at the same cost. The government therefore has plans to extend the contracts for the zones, if it wins a second term in office.
L. Britton
Working Brief, no. 121, 2001, p. 10-12
Research shows that some claimants were discouraged from using the ONE pilot services by fears about being forced into work. While there is substantial evidence that the tailored service offered by ONE personal advisers was helpful and liked by participants, there is no evidence that the schemes have diverted a significant number of clients away from benefits and into work.
Education and Employment Committee
London: TSO, 2001 (House of Commons papers. Session 2000/01; HC 48)
Identifies two significant barriers to the recruitment of unemployed people: inadequate skills on the part of the unemployed an indirectly discriminatory recruitment practices on the part of employers. Proposals for overcoming these barriers include: expansion of opportunities for work trials and placements; more post-placement support; evolution of the Employment Service into a demand-led agency serving employers and the unemployed equally; and expansion of the role of employers in employment assistance.
J. Kelly
Financial Times, Mar. 8th 2001, p. 5
Discusses government plans to address skills shortages including a tough new approach aimed at getting the "hard to employ" back to work. Gordon Brown has hinted that there maybe a new tax credit regime for employers or employees. Details are also about to be published regarding support for employer led initiatives and better workplace training.

CityWalk is really...something. You don't have to pay to see CityWalk, so it's nice if you just want to check it out without dropping serious cash (other than parking). It's so bright and shiny and loud! I will say, even though the movie theater is a bit expensive (it is LA), they did have a nice discount during the summer months.

New stores, homes and parks in Poulsbo in 2014 | 2014 Forecast
By BECKY ERICKSON
In looking forward to 2014, the City of Poulsbo must emphasize where we have come from in prior years. We must acknowledge where we have succeeded and where we still need to strive for success.
Our successes include multiple years of balanced budgets without using operating reserves, a reinvigorated downtown, the resurgence of community pride as typified by the Norseman statue, and protection of our environmental resources while increasing business activity. But where will we need to work harder for our community in 2014?
We will need to work hard to promote more businesses, better roads, parks that are well maintained and safe, increased police presence in our neighborhoods, and always fostering the community spirit of Poulsbo which is the life blood of our community.
The work of reinvigorating Viking Avenue has been ongoing for several years. We are seeing success with the relocation of Fishline to the Poulsbo RV property and hopefully Sound Brewery into the old Ford dealership. Can we find a permanent home for the Poulsbo's Farmers Market along Viking Avenue?
The new Safeway store will open this spring. Kitsap Transit will begin to build their new north end park and ride lot on north Viking Avenue. The CVS pharmacy continues to move forward at Highway 305 and Hostmark. The City will be holding a community meeting on Jan. 27 regarding what should be done with the old City Hall site. What is the community vision for this property? Please attend and express your opinion.
Most are aware that we have a drug problem in our community. Our problem is no worse than many communities that surround us. We, in Poulsbo, face our problems and work toward solutions. Our action plan is moving forward. We have made multiple arrests, increased patrols in our neighborhoods, reached out to neighboring jurisdictions to coordinate support, formed community watch groups, and are reviewing data to see how our actions are working. We are seeing positive results and will continue with a zero-tolerance policy for drug abuse in our community.
Two new parks are on our horizon, both along the Noll Road corridor. At the intersection of Mesford Road and Noll Road, there will be a 1.25-acre active recreation park with play equipment. It will be furnished much like Lions Park on 6th Avenue. Along Lemolo Creek, there will be a new 10-acre park associated with the Mountain Aire subdivision which will start in the spring.
We in Poulsbo live in a joyous community. New community events for 2014 include a February weekend visit by a large boating group, featuring hydroplane pilot Chip Hanauer. In July, we will host the Kitsap Humane Society Pet Walk, with a pet parade down 6th Avenue and Fjord Drive. We will continue the successful Viking Avenue Tree Lighting the day after Thanksgiving, with even more lights and music. Can we hope for another Viking statue on Highway 305, a Bride for the Norseman?
I will continue my open office hours, every Saturday morning, 9 a.m. until noon, no appointment required. Please come and talk to me. Tell me your concerns and ideas. City government works for you.
Happy New Year!
— Becky Erickson is serving her second term as mayor of Poulsbo.

January 10, 2012
The Department of Ecology has invited the public to comment on the proposed Agreed Order covering additional work that is part of the overall clean-up strategy for the Longview site. This Agreed Order requires the completion of a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for the site, and replaces a 2007 Agreed Order issued to Northwest Alloys and former Longview operator, Chinook Ventures. Millennium Bulk Terminals Longview, LLC (MBTL) is a party to this proposed Order. The Order requires investigation and sampling of 10 new areas on the site and establishes an enforceable schedule to complete the RI/FS for the site. Northwest Alloys and MBTL expect to deliver the draft RI/FS to Ecology for review by late March 2012.https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/gsp/Sitepage.aspx?csid=11796

Review: Alice in Bomberland
SonicBOOM listened to users, and has updated Alice in Bomberland to provide a brand new control scheme. You can still use the old method, but now you can just tap to jump, and hold your finger to move in that direction. You're able to tap anywhere on screen instead of the small control inputs previously. The controls were the only original problem, and now that they're fixed it really improves the quality of the game. You used to lose lives because of not being able to use the controls properly. Now you'll make it through this wonderful experience. I think Alice in Bomberland is still a should buy even with the control update. If you even remotely know of Alice pick up this title today.
The title pretty much speaks for itself, you are Alice, in Wonderland, and there are bombs going off all over the place. So in essence, you "really" are in Bomberland...get it? A tad literal and a bit lame on the puns, but a very fun and entertaining game nevertheless.
Since the game is based on the Lewis Carroll novels, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass it of course features famous quotes and poems from the book. Most of these must be unlocked as you progress through the game. As I said before, you can unlock all kinds of stuff like developer commentary and an endless mode as well. The artwork included in the game is original and comes from acclaimed children's book illustrator Mark Meyers. Alice's character in the game is drawn by David Hellman who is the visual artist from Braid. The app has over 48 different challenges throughout 8 different settings. There are also 11 songs on the soundtrack too.
The Good:
The visuals in the game are amazing and they fit the style and themes of the Alice in Wonderland world perfectly. If you want a game to show off the vibrancy of the iPhone, this is it. I love the simplicity of this one. You basically just avoid different stuff and that's about it. Sure there are different items to get and different levels, but that's the basic premise and it works really well here.
The Bad:
I really enjoyed this little game. My only issue with this app would be the control scheme. You move the character up and down, left and right, from the bottom of the screen. It's a very small part of the screen and you can tend to go out of the control area if you're not careful. As timing is everything here, it can get a bit frustrating from time to time. It's not a huge deal breaker and once you get the hang of things it's not so bad, but I can image it would be difficult for those of us with large thumbs.
The Verdict
If you like Alice in Wonderland and simple, casual games, then this is the app for you. The look of the game is stunning and it's a fun little app that is great to kill a few minutes of your day with.

Dordt College News
Justin Vander Werff named Outstanding Faculty Advisor
August 1, 2014
Dordt College engineering professor Justin Vander Werff has been awarded Outstanding Faculty Advisor by Region 7 of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Region 7 encompasses the ASCE sections that include Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming, and Colorado.
Vander Werff is humble about receiving the honor and believes the award says more about Dordt students than it does about him. "This really speaks to what our students are doing in ASCE," he says noting that students are involved heavily in the society, making connections, participating in events, and attending conferences and meetings. Vander Werff is also thankful for the contributions of engineering professor Joel Sikkema, who has been serving as a co-advisor for ASCE since he began working at Dordt two years ago.
Serving as the Dordt College ASCE faculty advisor, Vander Werff emphasizes that his role is "advisor, not leader. The faculty advisor shouldn't be the energy of the club. As new people cycle through, I try to be the 'memory bank' and counsel the new students, helping them learn from those who have graduated."
His students, who nominated him for the award, say that he is quick to help, offers reliable support, and demonstrates a Christian approach to engineering.
"Professor Vander Werff always puts his students first," said civil and environmental engineering student Emily Riihl. "He's enhanced my own college career by providing great advice when needed and by showing me what it means for your faith to impact your work as an engineer."
Dordt's ASCE club is involved in a number of activities and projects each year including the Concrete Canoe Competition, the Adopt-a-Highway program, a recycling program on campus, assisting in hosting engineering job fairs, and hosting civil engineering speakers on campus.
"Dordt takes a unique approach to engineering; we know that civil engineering is a very servant-oriented profession," says Vander Werff. "We provide for the needs of society and help people in a hands-on way."
Dordt College is one of only a handful of Christian colleges that has been fully accredited for more than 20 years. Student can earn an engineering degree with concentrations in biomedical, chemical, civil and environmental, electrical and computer, and mechanical. Since 2000, Dordt's overall industry and graduate school placement rate for engineers is 98 percent (90 percent in major).

Our family enjoys watching birds from our windows, and we want to landscape with the best plants to attract them around our home. What do you suggest? S.C., Tiverton, RI
A wide range of trees and shrubs produce fruit that persists and appeals to birds. Among the favorites throughout New England are blueberry (Vaccinium), evergreen and deciduous holly (Ilex), flowering crab apple (Malus), viburnum, roses, chokeberry (Aronia), and shadbush (Amelanchier). While several other species provide lots of food for birds, stay away from invasives such as Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), Orien-tal bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), multiflora rose, or burning bush (Euonymus alatus). These plants can be spread by birds into natural areas and become dominant, all too quickly forcing out more desirable native plants.
As you travel around your area, try to take note of those plants that retain their berries and attract wildlife — some of these could be appropriate for your yard. A public park or botanical garden can be instructive because they often label their plants, and of course, your local garden center can make expert recommendations.

Liverpool, NY -- Marc and Dawn Ascioti raised $5,600 for the Patterson family that was injured in the crash that the took the life of wife and mother Meagen Patterson.
Patterson, 34, died in a head-on crash Nov. 24 on Route 57. A drugged driver swerved across Route 57 and hit the Patterson family's car, according to law enforcement. Patterson's 14-year-old son, Justin Root, her husband, Lance Patterson, and the couple's two daughters, Olivia Patterson, 10, and Sophia Patterson, 2, were seriously injured.
The Ascioti's own Ascioti's To Go Specialty Market in Liverpool and on Dec. 22 the family hosted a meatball fundraiser called "Have a Ball." Meatballs were $1.
"It was awesome and amazing," Dawn Ascioti said.
The market sold more than 5,000 meatballs.
"People were buying 30 to 50 at a time," she said. "They were buying them faster than we could make them. We sold 600 pounds of meat."
The owners designed the fundraiser for children with a face painting and a visit from Santa.
"We're very thankful for everyone who helped and volunteered," Dawn Ascioti said. "It was amazing. I couldn't believe how many people came."
Donations are still being collected for the family through the Patterson Family Trust set up by Friends of the Patterson Family.
Donations can be made online by credit card, debit card, or PayPal on the family's donation page. Contributions by check should be made payable to the "Patterson Family Trust" and mailed to: Patterson Family Trust, P.O. Box 63, Syracuse, NY 13201.

HourlyLess than 30 hrs/week
Expert Level
Start DateNovember 13, 2013
I'm looking to use the Twitter and Facebook APIs to search for all posts that are within a 3 month period - 1 April to 30 June, posted in New Zealand and about a variety of specific keywords which I will give in an interview.
We just need the raw data in a excel or CSV. We are happy to talk about other out puts. The key thing is to get the data from those platforms.
We've tried getting people to manually search for these posts but it's not as effective as we want. This is why are wanting to try using the APIs to get all the raw data.
We use Skype for most communication. We expect to be able to text chat most of the time, but we can also have a voice call when needed. Being able to have a conversation in English is critical. The interview for this job will be a voice call via Skype. We will not hire anyone we can not have a voice call with.
Our biggest concern is high quality work - fast AND accurate work. We expect quick turn around BUT it also needs to be bug free. The cost is not our biggest concern. We aren't looking for the cheapest job. We ARE looking for the highest quality job.
We do not allow manual time. It will be turned off in the job, and it will not be accepted. We have found that when visibility on the work gets a better outcome for both you and us. We insist on all time being tracked using the work diary timer.
We require that we have direct communication via skype with the actual developer doing the work, or with someone who can get answers within 3 mins of us asking. We've found that dealing with development coordinators causes miscommunication and takes to long to get outcomes. We are happy to include others in all skype chats so you have visibility, but we do insist on working directly with the actual peson doing the work.
Please reply with 'sunshine' at the top of your message so we know you read all the way through. We will automatically delete any application that doesn't do this.

Web Site: Task 24 Integration of Wind Hydro Power Systems
About 450 GW of hydropower capacity is operating in the IEA Wind Member Countries along with approximately 92 GW of wind power capacity (2008). Because of the natural variability of wind power production and the inherent uncertainty in its prediction, integrating wind power into utility operations typically increases the amount of generation reserves required as well as the need for flexible, rapidly responding generation resources. Since hydropower is a generation resource that is generally quite flexible and able to provide reserves, many utilities are making use of these characteristics to help meet the balancing needs due to wind power. This approach raises many questions concerning economics, overall benefit to the electrical system, impacts on hydropower operations, and more. To address some of these questions, seven IEA Wind countries participated in Task 24 in 2008. A final report will be issued in 2009.
The specific objectives of the task are as follows:
To establish an international forum for exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences related to the integration of wind and hydropower technologies within electricity supply systems
To share information among participating members concerning grid integration, transmission issues, hydrological and hydropower impacts, markets and economics, and simplified modeling techniques.
To identify technically and economically feasible system configurations for integrating wind and hydropower, including the effects of market structure on wind-hydro system economics with the intention of identifying the most effective market structures.
Four types of case studies were conducted by the participants: grid integration, hydrologic impact, market and economics, and simplified modeling of wind-hydro integration potential. While many case studies may involve all four of these topics, some studies only addressed and shared information related to one or two. Each case study in the Final Report will address problem formulation and assumptions, analysis techniques, and results.
As the breadth of these case studies indicates, integrating wind and hydropower can be quite complex. Figure 1 provides a conceptual view of the relationships of wind, hydropower, and the transmission balancing area along with "surrounding" issues for a case study in the Southwestern United States.

Last night . . .
I peeped through this wreath . . .
before walking through this door . . .
to enter . . .
this foyer.
Before me I saw multitudinous displays of bountiful beauty and countless caloric delights.
And why was I beholding that Christmas beauty and consuming those Christmas calories?
It's because last night was our Second Annual Ladies' Christmas Party at Miss Libby's. And yes, this is the same Miss Libby who loaned me gorgeous, antique jewelry for Nathan and Meagan's wedding, taught me to dance for said wedding, hosted Sarah's 17th birthday tea party, and danced with Steve in some of our recent musical events at church. She is a grand southern lady in every sense of the word.
(Sorry I don't have her picture to post; she doesn't love having her picture taken.)
But I took pictures of some of our other ladies. This is Mary Ann Sherwood, our church's associate pastor opening a gift. (Libby made sure everyone went home with at least two gifts.)
It was lovely to spend time with a group of wonderful ladies in surroundings that fed the creative, beauty-loving parts of our soul.
And it was especially lovely for me to have so much gorgeousness to photograph. I was in beauty beholding, calorie consuming, photo taking heaven.
Merry Christmas!

Why should hazelnuts get all the attention? Peanut butter and chocolate is a classic combo, and it's utterly simple to make a spread just like Nutella using the jarred peanut butter and chocolate chips in your cupboard. This smooth, creamy chocolate-peanut butter spread is like a peanut butter cup you can spread on toast. We plowed through a batch, and have plans to mix up more to fill jars and give as holiday gifts – far less fussy than homemade candies and other confections, and very well received.
Start with equal amounts of creamy or chunky peanut butter and chocolate chips – if you want to get fancy, use good-quality chopped dark or semisweet chocolate.
Put them into a glass or Pyrex bowl together and microwave for about a minute.
Stir until smooth – the lumps of chocolate will work themselves out with the heat of the peanut butter.
Once chilled, it will firm up but should have the spreadable consistency of Nutella. If not, warm it again with another spoonful of peanut butter, stirring again until smooth.
Pour into jars, refrigerate, and serve. Yum.
And please, do try to share. 'Tis the season for giving.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
The Grand Wega is an outstanding television that is surprisingly of a high quality for its low price.
While flat-panel displays like plasma and LCD tend to hog the limelight, there are other big-screen TV options that provide high-quality output without the sky-high price tags - namely, rear-projection television (RPTV). If your last encounter with RPTV was with one of those beastly, bulky things of days gone by then you'll undoubtedly be stunned by Sony's latest addition to its RPTV line-up, the Grand Wega.
The range consists of three models that vary in screen size with 42, 50 and 60 inches available. They're all in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, feature a high-definition 720p resolution and we were pleasantly surprised by the relatively diminutive size of our 50-inch test version. Measuring just 403mm deep, it's considerably slimmer than a standard CRT television. And in a direct comparison with a 43-inch plasma on a table-top stand the Sony RPTV occupied only a marginally greater area. There's no denying, however, that this is a big TV, and it still managed to block a considerable amount of light from the window it was sitting in front of - but it will take up less space than you might imagine.
As far as being a plain old television goes, the Grand Wega is as well equipped as one could wish for. It has dual tuners for picture-in-picture viewing, superb audio (not only has Sony fitted its proprietary S-Master digital amplification system typically found only in their high-end audio gear but they've also found room for a decent, built-in subwoofer), Teletext, Nicam stereo, Memory Stick reader (to view your digital camera pics on your telly) and a fast, responsive menu system.
But it's as the centrepiece of a well-decked-out home theatre system that the Grand Wega really comes into its own, and picture quality produced by the 3LCD engine is up there with the best. The Wega Engine - Sony's video processing wizardry that strives to eliminate video artefacts like digital noise and enhance contrast and sharpness - does an exceptional job on broadcast TV images, while DVDs look quite stunning.
The Incredibles is my DVD of choice at the moment, and on the Grand Wega it retained that ability to make jaws drop previously seen on the likes of Pioneer's PDP435HD 43-inch plasma, while old favourites such as The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and The Fifth Element showed off all their respective glories in great detail. There was absolutely no sign of false contours (also referred to as quantisation errors, when what should be a smoothly graduating colour change is broken into bands of colour) and it handled both bright (the desert scenes in The Fifth Element) and dark (most of ROTK) scenes well. Blacks are very good, although not quite as good as the near perfection of the aforementioned plasma display and not quite as good as, say, a decent DLP projector. Since both of these examples cost considerably more than the Grand Wega, this presents no reason to deter us from laying down the plastic for one of these TVs. Contrast is good enough to create the preferred illusion of depth in an image, which is all we can ask really, especially at this price.
To top all this goodness off, Sony supplied an HD signal generator and a sample disc to test the high-definition component of the Grand Wega. And boy, was it a sight to behold. So crisp, so detailed, it was a tantalising glimpse of an HD future we will all be able to embrace over the next few years.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

After the noon mass, St. Joseph's School children, altar servers and members of the Confraternity of Christian Mothers paraded through the streets of Rosebank in a long-standing parish tradition.
Members of the Holy Name Society carried the statue.
"The annual feast and procession with the statue of Saint Joseph the Worker is a wonderful occasion in the life of the parish," said the Rev. Michael T. Martine, pastor since 2009.
The associate Rev. Antonio Ferrer also participated in the procession.
"It is the continuation of a tradition started long ago and is a reminder to the parishioners and the people of Rosebank of the Italian heritage of the parish as well as the many sacrifices made by the Italian immigrants who built St. Joseph's parish," Father Martine said.
"We gather each year to continue to ask for God's abundant blessings upon our parish and its parishioners through the intercession of our patron saint."
The parish was founded in 1902 by Italian immigrants to minister to people of their heritage on Staten Island.
The congregation is a national parish which has no boundaries.
On June 5, the parish will hold a 2 p.m. mass of thanksgiving in honor of police officers and other law enforcement personnel and members of the armed forces.
During this mass, a statue of St. Michael the Archangel, hand-carved and from Rome, Italy, will be dedicated and blessed by Father Martine.
St. Joseph's Church is located at 171 St. Mary's Ave. For information, call 718- 816-0047.

I'm Kami, the greeter cat. When someone comes to the shelter, I'm the first cat they see. You'd think that would give me an edge for getting adopted, but that's not true. I've been here over a year now – that's a long time especially since I'm only three years old. Of course, I've got the impeccable social skills that are required for the job. If everyone is talking loud, it's ok. Noise doesn't bother me. If someone brings in their dog or kids, I don't mind. Do you need to be entertained while you're waiting? Just watch me play hide-and-seek under the table cloth. If I'm feeling especially silly, I will run figure eights through the reception area. Then, when it's quieter, I will sit next to you in the hopes that I'll get some petting. I give my favorite people little kitty kisses.
So, I'm perfect, right? I'm unflappable, entertaining, and an excellent companion. You're thinking what's the catch? Do I have a terminal disease or have some bad habits? No and No. There's just one thing. It's a small thing really. I don't like other cats very much. I'd prefer to be an only cat, if I had a choice. I suppose if there were another cat in the household and it ignored me, I could cope. But I want to be the center of attention. Why would you need anyone else when you have me!
There's another thing I have to confess. I'm getting depressed at the shelter. They try to make my life normal, but it's not like having a real family and a real home. I've never slept in a human bed or had the same people in my life every day. The cats I share my space with are always changing too. Don't think I'm boring but I want to be a part of a regular family. I know I'm getting a little overweight, but food is always there long after the staff and volunteers go home, so it has become my friend. I promise I could work off a pound or two with some play time and a larger space to live in.
If you'd like to meet me, stop by between 11am to 4pm Monday through Friday or on Saturdays from 12pm to 4pm. Sundays get very lonely for me because the shelter is closed to visitors. Check the Animal Aid website for more information or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Nigel Rogers of suburban Harrisburg's Capital Punishment Boxing Club captured a Pennsylvania Golden Gloves open class title in impressive fashion Saturday night at Philadelphia's Front Street Gym, knocking out defending 178-pound champ Aaron Wright with 1:17 gone in the opening round.
"It is [exciting]," said Capital Boxing Club trainer Jose Martinez. "Even the Pennsylvania Golden Gloves president Lola [Cariello] came over to our corner when Nigel was still in the ring and she said, 'You know you just beat the defending state champ. You just knocked out the defending state champ.'
"We were like, 'We knew that, but we were ready for that guy.'`"
And Rogers (8-3), who has won eight of nine bouts since aligning with Capital, obviously was ready for Wright. Ironically, in his last fight in Philly, Rogers also scored a first-round knockout to win a Mid-Atlantic championship and earn a trip to the USA Nationals tournament in Fort Carson, Colo.
The 24-year-old Rogers, who lives in Lewistown, now advances to the National Golden Gloves tournament April 30-May 5 at Casa Blanca Resort in Mesquite, Nev.
Rogers will be the first Harrisburg-based male fighter to compete at the National Golden Gloves since Josh Bowles reached the quarterfinals of the 2009 tournament in Salt Lake City. Bowles, like Rogers, trains at Capital.
"That's real good, real good," Martinez added. "I'm really excited."

Bethlehem police are asking for the public's help in nabbing a suspect who stole 39 storm grates throughout the city.
Police said the storm grates weigh more than 100 pounds each and were removed some time between 3 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m. today. The grates, valued at about $250 each, usually are stolen to be sold for scrap or to weigh down items being sold for scrap so that the seller gains more money in return, police said.
Police said the public needs to be vigilant walking around the city, noting a hole could be exposed from a missing grate.
Police are asking anyone who may have information about the thefts to call Bethlehem Police Detective Jason Fulmer at 610-997-7682 or Bethlehem Police Detective Lieutenant Mark DiLuzio at 610-865-7672.
Police are urging the public if they see anyone tampering with a storm grate -- or any city property -- to call 911. Information needed by witnesses includes the description of the people involved, car make/model/color/license plate and the suspects' direction of travel.

Tell us what you thought of 'Trance'
As I wrote in yesterday's best-to-worst overview of Danny Boyle's filmography, the otherwise cutting-edge "Trance" is something of a trip back in time for the Oscar-winning British director -- a return to the slick, sprightly genre filmmaking he routinely practised before "Slumdog Millionaire" and "127 Hours" elevated him to prestige status. That's not to say the film is a triumph. As eye-and-ear candy, it pretty irresistible; as psychological thriller, for all its convoluted structuring, I thought it shallow, rather silly stuff. (You can read my thoughts in more detail, for Time Out, here.) Still, there's much fun to be had here, and our colleague Drew McWeeny was more seduced than I was.
Expect a good time, then, but don't expect a third straight Best Picture nomination for Boyle. (A Best Cinematography nod for Anthony Dod Mantle's molten vision of modern London, however, would be well-deserved.) If you see it this weekend, be sure to check back and tell us what you thought -- and do vote in the poll below.

Park Hall by Simmons Beautyrest Mattress Name Comparison
Jake called to get the cross-reference names for the Simmons Beautyrest Park Hall sold at her local Macy's store. I looked it up and it is the same as our Lincolnton in the Beautyrest Collection. This is a '2012 Simmons Classic" mattress and all mattresses in that level have the same amount of coils but as you move through the Classic Levels the differences are the added comfort materials. The Lincolnton is at the top of the food chain in the classic line up with the most and best comfort materials.
Don't pay more than you must for a mattress. Do you homework and get the lowest delivered price. Shop locally when you can but if all else fails, buy online to protect your pocketbook. The Mattress Experts offer free advice and guarantee the lowest price. Call us at 877-454-3211 for more information.

College football coaches make so many scholarship offers it feels like they are dropping them from hot air balloons.
If you thought coaches believe in safety in numbers, Andy Drukarev, a writer from the Cardinal Sports Report, a satellite site of Rivals.com that covers Stanford athletics, has confirmed your suspicions.
First, let me say kudos to Drukarev.
He must have locked himself in a room for a few days to research an article that indicates the number of football scholarships offered to the upcoming class of 2015 by schools that finished in the AP's final 2013 top 25 rankings.
He also researched how many offers were made to the class of 2014 using the same AP poll, citing how many players were signed by the top 25 schools and how many offers were made per signee.
The data for the story was based on the rivals.com recruit database as of last Sunday.
According to Drukarev's sweat and toil, LSU has made 138 offers to the class of 2015, a rather conservative number compared to Louisville coach Bobby Petrino.
So far, Petrino has made 300 offers to prospects in the class of 2015, far and away the leader of last year's AP top 25 schools.
With that many players offered by Petrino, his recruiting spiel probably sounds like the opening to the old "Mission Impossible" TV series and most recently the MI movies.
Petrino to recruit: "These are some offenses I've had in the past at Arkansas and when I coached here before at Louisville. I prefer a tall, physical quarterback who can usually throw for close to 4,000 yards in a season, someone who's able to make quick decisions at the line and read a defense as he takes the snap. A quarterback in my offense is like getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari. This offer will self-destruct in 10 seconds, so make a decision right now. Good luck, son."
No other school even approaches Louisville's offer total. There are only two other programs that have more than 200 offers to the class of 2014 - Wisconsin (237) and Alabama (204), both schools on LSU's schedule this season.
What's fascinating about the scholarship offer research is it's more proof that college football needs an early signing day.
If there were an early signing day, maybe coaches wouldn't toss out scholarships offers like Snickers bars on Halloween. Maybe with the recruiting process fast-forwarded, coaches wouldn't have time to make so many offers.
Many coaches offer a player a scholarship just because a rival school offers them. The coach that comes in with a late offer may not sign the kid, but it makes a good impression if that coach recruits a kid from that same high school or even the same family in the future.
The position of SEC head coaches is that they don't want an early signing day. But because there seems to be a national push towards one, they unanimously agreed at the league's business meetings in Destin late last month that they would want an early signing day the first Monday after Thanksgiving.
That day is always the Monday before the SEC championship game, and such timing would make for an interesting dynamic for teams playing in the title game.
Wonder Alabama coach Nick Saban and his perpetual game face would feel about holding a press conference on early signees just days before his biggest game of the year to date?
"We're happy with our early signees, but they won't help us in this week's game," Saban would say. "Next question."
Atlantic Coast Conference coaches voted in May they'd prefer an Aug. 1 early signing day. Though Arkansas coach Bret Bielema voted with his SEC brethren for the post-Thanksgiving date, he'd rather take the ACC route.
"I'm a huge proponent if it's in the summer," Bielema said at the spring meetings before the final vote of solidarity. "The early signing day at that time allows a player who commits to you after his sophomore or junior year to sign before his senior season. Then nobody can recruit him or touch him.
"The high school coach is happy because the kid has a scholarship, and there aren't a bunch of visiting college coaches showing up at high schools and trying to get players out of class to talk to them. The kid is relieved he can concentrate on his season.
"If there is a December signing day, there are also some high schools that play their state championship games that week. Do you think a kid is going to be distracted that week and sign a scholarship?"
An argument against an August date is the scenario if a recruit signs early with a college that fires its head coach at the end of the season, or if that head coach leaves for another job. What if that recruit wants out of the scholarship because he loved the head coach and the staff that just got canned or left?
"Maybe there can be appeal process in those cases for summer signees," Bielema said.
Right now, college sports has much bigger fish to fry than pushing an early signing day.
But there's no doubt the amount of early scholarship offers revealed by the Cardinal Sports Report story indicate the earlier a recruit wants to sign, the better it is for all involved parties.
At the very least, it might even save recruiting costs for those college coaches who have to babysit committed players for more than a year.

The editorial comment in The Post-Journal on Friday, Jan.13, caught my eye. It begins "Americans ought to have the right to join labor unions and support them. But they also should have the right to say no to organized labor."
My coworker and I have been forced to join a collective bargaining unit we did not want to join.
I hold a position of school nurse at Chautauqua Lake Central School and on Oct. 31, 2011, the local teachers union filed a petition with the Public Employee Relations Board (PERB) to have the two school nursing positions added to their union without our knowledge or consent.
While we made every effort to stop this action once we found out, and the Taylor Law (Public Employee's Fair Labor Law) clearly states (section 202) public employees have the right to refrain from forming, joining or participating in employee organizations, it apparently doesn't apply to us. The recent ruling by the administrative law judge ruled in favor of placing our positions in the local teachers union.
I have learned many of the local union members did not know about this petition either, and their organization's name is on it.
Union dues will be deducted from our pay after we sign a voluntary agreement to have them withheld. But if we don't sign the form, the union can petition to have us fired because we are not complying with the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining unit the district has (voluntarily!) agreed to recognize.
How voluntary is this?
Today we were advised by a co-worker (union member) that we need to get on the negotiating committee and tell the board we need a couple thousand dollars more in our pay to cover our losses.
Let me restate this. My coworker and I are suppose to demand more pay from the local taxpayers of our school district so the union can take some of our pay for their dues because we have been forced to join an organization we did not want to join.
How fair is this to the local taxpayers?
We fought hard to prevent this from happening. We understand how this benefits the union. What we don't understand is how NYS public employee labor law favors union positions over public employee rights.
We have no voice, no choice and no benefit, and the local taxpayer foots the bill.

University of South Florida offensive lineman Danous Estenor is credited with saving a man's life by performing an incredible feat of strength -- lifting a 3,500-pound Cadillac Seville up to free a trapped tow-truck driver that had been working on the car.
According to a report in the St. Petersburg Times, Pedro Arzola became trapped under the automobile when it luched forward as he was working under it. Arzola's wife, who had been in the tow truck, screamed for help just as Estenor was parking his car to go into a nearby restaurant.:
"I just see his legs," said Estenor, 21, a child of Haitian immigrants from Palm Beach. "The car is crushing him. He's not moving. I'm thinking, 'Oh, God, this guy is going to die.' "
"I tried to lift the car, and when I first tried, it didn't budge. I backed up. I don't know. But I felt this energy come, and I lifted it. I don't know how, but somebody pulled him from the car."

A federal judge on Tuesday postponed the sentencing of businessman Hendrikus "Hank" Ton until May, so that he can first testify against River Birch landfill executive Dominick Fazzio in a trial scheduled for April. The delay was expected after Ton and the government last week asked to postpone his Jan. 24 sentencing.
U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo moved the date to May 30.
Ton pleaded guilty in October to his role in a payroll fraud scheme that helped his oil-field supply companies evade almost $3.6 million in taxes from 2006 to 2010. Prosecutors accused Fazzio of using his accounting skills to help Ton in the scheme. Under his plea deal, Ton agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
Fazzio has said he's innocent and is ready to go to trial April 1. But the government is hoping Fazzio will turn against his bosses, River Birch co-owners Fred Heebe and Jim Ward, who are the main targets in the investigation. Heebe and Ward have said they did nothing wrong and have not been charged with a crime.
Ton, who admitted to one count of conspiracy and one count of willful failure to collect and pay employment taxes, faces up to 10 years in prison. Maximum penalties are rare for first-time offenders, however.
Ton's attorney, Kenneth Polite, said last week that Ton is expected to testify at Fazzio's trial, an assertion prosecutors expressly stated for the first time in the joint request to delay Ton's sentencing. But Polite said investigators had not yet debriefed his client.

Ageless, face-painted rockers KISS will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday night, but the honor hasn't come without controversy.
Lineup changes are always a tricky issue with the fickle Hall of Fame -- who gets inducted, and why -- and two current KISS players, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, have not been included alongside founding members Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. The latter two remain in the band, which continues to be a fireworks-laden touring act.
KISS has downplayed the honor in interviews and won't perform on Thursday night.
"The Hall of Fame can barely stomach us," Stanley told Vulture this week, though the four original members are still expected to accept the award. Guitarist Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) will induct them.
I interviewed KISS in 2012 as the rockers announced The Tour -- a joint run with Mötley Crüe -- and Thayer, who was born in Portland and remains a local presence, was quick to point out his KISS longevity.
"I've been the guitarist of KISS for 10 years," he said at the time -- making it nearly 12 now. "We still have the fire and the desire and the passion to do it."
Other acts in this year's Hall of Fame class include Nirvana, Cat Stevens, Hall and Oates, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Gabriel, Andrew Loog Oldham, Brian Epstein and the E Street Band.

Remembering Mom on Mother's Day
She sat quietly in my office, looking out the window with sad, far away eyes. A tear rolled down her cheek from time to time as she spoke. "Mom's been gone over a year now. I don't know what's wrong with me – I had been doing so good. I should be over this by now. Everybody tells me I need to let go and move on. But inside I'm screaming NO WAY!"
The anticipation of Mother's Day can take motherless daughters to this valley of grief. And, sometimes, there is just no reasoning to how grievers get to this place. But regardless, many people find themselves there tearfully recounting how they have gone "backwards in their grief"
"Mom's been gone over a year now." (Or a month, or six months, or two yearsit really doesn't matter how much time has passed.) Grief just does not conform to some arbitrary timetable. Each person's grief process is unique, just as each person's relationship with their mother was unique. The roles your mother served in your life may be very different than the roles someone else's mother served in their life. Maybe your mother was your best friend. She could have been your trusted financial advisor. Maybe she consulted with you on your gardening challenges advising where to plant a certain flower so it gets the optimal light it needs. What if she was your cheerleader, encouraging you in whatever goals you set for yourself? These are all additional losses. And while others may tell us "time heals all wounds," it's not enough to just let time pass. We each need to figure out what this mourning looks like for us and actively walk our way through it.
"I don't know what's wrong with me – I had been doing so good." The anticipation of special days like Mother's Day (or her birthday or your birthday) can cause us to grieve in a more intense way. Reminders of Mom permeate our every sense. You hear her favorite song on your car radio and your tears make it hard to drive. You see her picture flash across your computer screen in the digital slideshow screensaver and you lose all concentration for the task you're working on. You smell the scent of her perfume as you walk down the hall at church and just want to yell, "Why couldn't they cure my mother?" You feel the touch of the soft yarn on your arms as you snuggle in the afghan she crocheted, not wanting to leave your home to meet up with your friends. You taste the sweet spicy flavor of the homemade ginger cookies that you've baked every month since her death and feel that familiar emptiness in the pit of your stomach. You are back in the depths of grief. But we need to gently remind ourselves that grief is not linear – there are dips, sometimes many of them. This is normal.
"Everybody tells me I should let go and move on. But inside I'm screaming NO WAY!" Maybe you should listen to your inside. Instead of letting go, how can you maintain a connection with your mom? No, it won't be a connection of physical presence, but how do you keep her as part of your life and still endeavor to move forward with your life? Just as an alumnus wears the clothes of their college to honor and remember their school, you may want to wear clothes, jewelry or perfume to remember and honor your mom. You could incorporate your mom's beliefs, values or philosophy of life into how you live your own life. Maybe Mom always helped unfortunate children, so you decide to contact a local school and offer to pay for the field trip of a child who might not otherwise be able to attend. Maybe you create a ritual of homemade pizza every Friday night because that's what she fixed every Friday night when you were growing up. These rituals help us to symbolize that our mom's spirit is still an essential part of our lives. In these things, you are creating a new relationship with your mom that is part of your life now, in the present.
It's too hard to say goodbye to someone who has been a part of your life from the instant you were conceived. Tom Attig, author and speaker on grief-related topics, tells us "Mourning, properly understood, is not a process of severing ties with those we love." Instead, it is "a transition from loving in presence to loving in absence." So, by all means don't let go, continue to love.
On Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m. to noon Hospice of the Panhandle Grief Support Services will be offering a Mother's Day Brunch for Motherless Daughters. We know this can be a difficult holiday for women whose mothers have passed away. Your mother did not have to be a hospice patient, and all women are welcome regardless of how recently or how long ago your mother has died. Together, we will enjoy brunch, a presentation, a memorial craft and a special time of remembering and honoring your mother.
If you are unable to attend, please allow us to mail you some ideas for remembering and honoring your mom that you may want to do on your own. To register for this free program or to request free information, please call Jennifer Newman at 304-264-3902, ext. 1112.
– Cindy Burdette, LSW, LPC, NCC, is a grief counselor with Hospice of the Panhandle and has been with the organization since 1993. She specializes in helping women who are grieving the loss of a mother or child.

A three-alarm fire did major damage to a Central City grocery store Tuesday night, but no one was injured, according to the New Orleans Fire Department.
View Larger Map
The blaze, believed to have started in an adjacent single-story shotgun, spread through the home's walls and into a crawl space that ran the length of the Loyola Food Store at 3233 Loyola Ave.
Fire officials arrived on the scene around 9:40 p.m. to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the two-story wood-framed grocery store and the shotgun.
The owners of the grocery told fire officials that the shotgun and some apartments on the store's second story were all vacant or under construction. The store had closed for the day just a couple of hours before the fire, the owner said.
Twenty units and 65 firefighters responded to the blaze, which was brought under control at 10:29 p.m. Both, the business and residences, were unoccupied at the time of the fire.

Kirkland Reporter announces new publisher
Andrea Southern has begun work as publisher of the Kirkland Reporter.
Southern succeeds Mike Walter, who was the publisher for the former Kirkland Courier and Kirkland Reporter since 2001. Southern will serve as the regional publisher of the Kirkland, Redmond and Bothell/Kenmore Reporter newspapers.
Originally from Jamaica, Southern is now getting a taste of the Kirkland life.
The newly-appointed publisher of the Kirkland Reporter will surely be busy guiding the three Sound Publishing Inc. papers, and she's up to the task armed with extensive experience in the newspaper and advertising fields.
"I'm committed to supporting the Kirkland community with continued, quality, local coverage and involvement," Southern said.
Josh O'Connor, vice president of East Sound Newspaper Operations, Sound Publishing Inc., says he is "very pleased to have Mrs. Southern join the Kirkland Reporter.
"Andrea is a dynamic leader that brings proven results to our business. In addition to being an excellent communicator, she is very strong in revenue and sales development. Andrea's commitment to community will be a huge asset to Kirkland."
As publisher of the Redmond Reporter since 2007, she has guided the paper to success through many innovative and lucrative changes like the annual Best of Redmond contest and the Women in Business event. Both the Redmond and the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter newspapers won a number of Washington Newspaper Publishers Association awards under her leadership, and she also fostered strong alliances with the city, the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary. She hopes to forge a solid connection with those Kirkland officials and groups, as well.
Southern moved to the U.S. to pursue a communications degree at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
Due to her husband's job, she moved to the Seattle area and began working in advertising at her local paper. She quickly advanced to outside sales where she excelled and won a number of WNPA awards.

SAGINAW, MI — A Saginaw Township man accused of sexually assaulting a young girl faces a mandatory 25-year sentence.
Robert E. Thomas, 23, is charged with five counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct against someone under the age of 13.
Thomas, who last lived at 2777 Erna, is charged with sexually assaulting the girl, 12, from April 1 through May 14 in various locations in Saginaw County.
First-degree criminal sexual conduct, the most serious of sexual offenses, involves penetration and carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. When the victim is under the age of 13, the mandatory minimum sentence is 25 years.
In arraigning Thomas on June 7, Saginaw County Chief District Judge M. Randall Jurrens entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and ordered him held without bond. Thomas remains jailed.
Thomas is scheduled for a June 19 preliminary hearing before District Judge A.T. Frank.
