ALLENDALE -- Losing four consecutive times to its chief conference rival easily could have turned into a mental roadblock for the Rockford girls cross country team.
Instead, the Rams outlasted Grand Haven on Saturday to win their ninth Division 1 regional championship in 11 years.
Rockford grabbed three of the meet's first five places and finished with 44 points for the victory. Traverse City Central was second (55) and Grand Haven was third (63).
All three teams qualified for next Saturday's state meet at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.
The regional title reverses Rockford's trend of tough losses to Grand Haven. The Buccaneers narrowly edged the Rams in the OK Red Conference dual and conference meets as well the Michigan State Invitational.
Rockford coach Ben Watson said the near-misses might have helped his team Saturday.
"It's been our goal to beat Grand Haven. We knew if we could beat them, we would be one of the best teams in the state," Watson said.
"It was a neutral course and, the last two times, we lost on their home course. Psychologically, it may make a difference, at least that's what we told the girls in practice."
Grandville sophomore Sammy Mondry won in 18 minutes, 39.5 seconds. The Rams' top finisher was Taylor Manett, who finished third.
Rockford had five runners in the top 18. Grand Haven's Claire Borchers was second (18:57.8).
"I wasn't really expecting (to win). I thought maybe top five," Mondry said. "There's pressure, but I ignore it. I don't focus on people. I focus on points on the course. That's how I get through it mentally."
Grand Haven won the boys regional title with 56 points, 16 better than runner-up Rockford.
Traverse City West's boys also qualified for the state meet by finishing third.
Grand Haven coach John Tarr said he told his runners to forget Rockford beating the Buccaneers in the conference meet.
"After we beat them in the dual, they came at us at conference," he said. "We told our guys not to worry about that, to worry about our own race. We gave them target times and what we needed to do to be in it, and they did it. We probably didn't run our best times, but we ran our best race."
Rams boys coach Andrew Martin said the rivalry between the Buccaneers and Rockford has made both teams better. Although Grand Haven won the OK Red dual meeting, the Rams continued a streak of 15 won or shared overall titles after beating the Buccaneers in the conference meet.
"It's probably one of the best years I've seen," Martin said. "It's one of those things where the times are spread really close and it makes both of us better. You always like to win, but you also want to be better."
Grand Haven's Joe Duff won with a time of 16:10.4. The Buccaneers had three runners in the top 10.
Other top runners included Kenowa Hills' Jeff Bajema, who was second (16:19); Rockford's Spencer Gerber, who was third (16:26); and Grand Haven's Ryan Duff, who was fifth (16:40).

Surf the Bar at Turtle Bay Resort
Turtle Bay Resort is renowned as the only resort destination on Oahu's Fabled North Shore. The location is a flashpoint of global surfing, and the hotel plays host to the legendary Hans Hedemann Surf Center.
Given the hotel's close connection to surfing, the luxury beach hotel has paired up with Surfer the magazine to launch Surfer the Bar. Surfer is a partnership between Turtle Bay and Surfer magazine, the global bible of surfing culture. The drink of choice here is a 16-ounce pint of ice-cold beer, many of them local small-batch brews. The food is fresh, flavorful, sometimes spicy Hawaiian comfort food.
Surfer the bar has a stage for Hawaiian musicianship. In addition to scheduled performers, Surfer has quickly become a showcase for new talent as well as a platform for surprising, impromptu performances by celebrity musicians who like the Surfer vibe. Surfer the bar is also a screening room for international and local Big Wave filmmakers, documentarians and photographers who consider Surfer to be the perfect venue for sharing their craft with an appreciative audience who want to see the beauty, majesty and danger of the sea through the eyes of those who know it best. It is a studio for live webcasting of some of surfing's biggest pro events and up-close-and-personal musical concerts. It is also a soapbox for TalkStory, a centuries-old Hawaiian tradition roughly meaning "to converse informally and openly as good friends do."
Even if you've never caught a wave, spend enough time at Surfer the bar and you'll feel as if you are a hanging ten hero.

Our daily round-up of the latest news in personal finance
Mortgage lending picked up in May after a sharp slump in April, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) reported today, before cautioning that house prices are still likely to fall in the second half of the year.
Gross mortgage lending in May was an estimated £12.2 billion, 24 per cent higher than April's £9.9 billion, according to the CML.
Lenders expressed relief that the marked dip in mortgage activity seen in April, following the end of the stamp duty holiday for first-time buyers, appeared to have been brief. Mortgage advances for first time buyers were up 43 per cent from

Mother's day is just around the corner…..(hint, reminder, wink wink). Here's great card that any Mom would love to receive. I stamped & embossed the large rose from the now retiring Fifth Avenue Flower 3x on card stock vellum. Before I cut the the flowers out, I used my brayer and added Wisteria Wonder ink on the back of the vellum. I used my heat gun to help dry the ink, but be careful, this will heat your embossing power, so you might be better off inking the vellum first, then stamp & emboss. This sentaments come from two different stamp sets, Teeny Tiny Wishes & Loving Thoughts.
**Remember ** – the Occasions Mini is comming to an end on April 30 (that's only a few day's!!!) If you have something from the mini that you want, you should get it now……we have no idea if anything will be carried over to the new catalog. Click here to place your order on-line now, or e-mail me.

The Final Environmental Indicator Inspection (EI) Report was submitted in December 2003. Since this submittal, Koppers has focused on a former surface impoundment where elevated levels of Naphthalene were detected in existing monitoring wells. Koppers entered into the PADEP Act 2 Program to address the impoundment. An investigation ensued and subsequently an Act 2 Final Report was submitted on October 10, 2006 and was approved on January 9, 2007. PADEP approved the clean closed status of this impoundment meaning it was no longer a concern.
Based on further review of the EI report, EPA, PADEP, Koppers, and Beazer met on October 30, 2008 to discuss comments and options for satisfying remaining Corrective Action obligations at the facility. The focus was primarily on a former spray irrigation field, a waste storage pad, and noted releases from an Aeration Basin. Koppers performed an investigation on June 3, 2009 in these areas to supply current data. A Soil Sample Summary Report was submitted on April 30, 2010 and is currently under review.
EPA will decide if additional information or sampling at the facility is required to determine whether or not the environmental indicators have been met or if corrective action is required by the facility.
The Koppers Inc. Susquehanna Plant is located at 50 Koppers Lane, just off of Route 405 in Montgomery, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. The areal extent of the site is approximately 157 acres, however a portion of the plant was sold in the late 1980s and operations were and are performed on only approximately 99 acres since the Facility was built. The remaining portion of the land was agricultural in use. The Koppers Susquehanna Plant was built in 1971 to serve the Penn Central, Reading and other eastern railroad lines, now the ConRail System, for track maintenance and upgrading programs. The facility's product lines include pressure-creosoted railroad ties, bridge timbers, switch ties, and crossing panels.

Now, workers in the county's tax office are working to sort, study and defend the 3,127 appeals that have been filed by Gloucester County property owners.
"It's a lot more volume," said Robyn Glocker-Hammond, the county tax assessor, who said last year the county received about 1,800 appeal forms, and just 900 the year before.
More than 2.6 percent of property owners in the county have filed appeals this year, with 2,464 residential owners opposing their assessments.
Only 372 tax appeals have been filed in Salem County, about 1 percent of total property owners. In Cumberland County, 562 appeals were filed, which accounts for less than 1 percent of taxable properties.
While the economy has a lot to do with the increase in tax challenges, Glocker-Hammond said the county-wide property revaluations are the main culprit of the influx.
"They are more sparse counties than we are," she said. "And they haven't had the number of revaluations we have had."
In 2010, the first round of revaluations began with Glassboro, West Deptford, National Park and Swedesboro, which led to significant jumps in the number of appeals filed when the new assessments kicked in.
This year, the county expects to finish its last round of reassessments as part of its regionalized revaluation initiative.
Of the 3,000 appeals filed, Monroe Township had the most, with 950 appeals, many filed by residents in the Holiday City community, Glocker-Hammond said. Deptford was right behind with about 430.
"Some people file because they didn't let the revaluation company in," Glocker-Hammond said.
Appraisal Systems Inc. was hired by the county three years ago to complete the revaluations. Glocker-Hammond said many homeowners make the misstep of not letting the appraiser into their home. But keeping them out contributes to inaccurate data.
"Sometimes people don't want anyone on their property. They think it's their right to privacy," Glocker-Hammond said. "They should let them in. Then you will have accurate data. If not, you're forced to estimate."
When a tax appeal is filed, the tax assessor's office reviews any information — usually comparable property sale prices — and completes another study.
"Then we have some type of dialogue: Verbal, on the phone, or by sending them a stipulation of settlement that we will see them at the hearing."
Appeals hearings have already begun, with the county board of taxation hearing only 40 of about 70 cases on the docket Tuesday, according to Glocker-Hammond.
"Some people didn't show up," she said.
The appeal petitioner has the best chance to win an appeal if he or she can "overcome the burden of proof," meaning it's the property owner's responsibility to be prepared for the hearing.
"They should hire an appraiser or find [comparable] sales on their own," Glocker-Hammond said.
But the property owner should make sure the sales are real sales, she said. Sales between a parent and sibling, foreclosures and short sales don't count.
Plus, the sales used as proof must be between October 2010 and October 2011.

A week in reviews: 11 - 15 NovemberPocket-lint
Mid November and there's only one thing on most people's minds: the imminent Xbox One and Playstation 4 launches. In the UK we have to wait a little longer than America does for the PS4 launch, but we've been playing around with the final machine's user interface and playing games ahead of the official launch.
Before our final review of next-gen consoles hit the site, however, it's been a rip-roaring week full of content. The 10th annual Pocket-lint Awards shortlist was announced, full of plenty of tech gems throughout. Public voting is now open, so head on over and cast your vote.
Despite all that business we've been busy testing out the Nexus 5 affordable smartphone from Google, along with the latest Android KitKat 4.4 operation system. There's the palm-friendly Panasonic Lumix GM1 which has also impressed us, Adidas Smart Run watch which showed a stack of potential but fell on the battery hurdle, among other tablets - the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX and Advent Vega Tegra Note 7, no less - a set-top box streaming device from Western Digital, and a pair of lovely Bowers & Wilkins over-ear headphones. The "should I get the Air or the Pro?" MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display has also been through the Lint review process.
And to finish off the week we've not only been chatting to Shane Sutton, British Cycling coach and Team Sky performance advisor, but have been testing out Team Sky's official support car, the Jaguar XF Sportbrake.
Next week it's Xbox One worldwide launch week, so the tech hotplate will only continue to glow yet hotter. Whew, exciting times all round.
Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display (late 2013) review
Quick review: Compared to the MacBook Air the 13-inch Pro offers a better screen and the potential for more power. The payoff is that you'll get shorter battery life and a heavier product, and it's still not as graphically astute as its 15-inch brother. If this is a laptop for the home and little else, you'll enjoy the power the Pro brings and the screen resolution too, knowing full well that a power socket is never that far away.
Pros: Powerful, great screen, good design, brilliant battery life
Cons: Have been issues with a number of elements (now fixed), not as powerful as some would like, glossy screen, no discrete graphics, this or the Air?
Price: from £1,099

Adidas miCoach Smart Run review
Quick review: As a dedicated sports watch that you only use on training runs the £300 Adidas miCoach Smart Run smart watch is fantastic. The interface is clear to read on runs, the granular detail that you can access through the miCoach website superb, and the ability to get your heartrate bpm without wearing an uncomfortable chest strap a really great feature. But there's a massive issue: the battery life is awful. So bad, in fact, that it's barely fit for purpose as a sportswatch.
Pros: Heart rate without wearing a chest strap, easy to read, customisable display, music playback via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi auto syncs runs data
Cons: Battery life is awful, docking station needed to charge it
Price: £300
Full article: Adidas Smart Run review
Western Digital WD TV Play review
Quick review: At £50 we think the price makes the WD TV Play a great deal. This little set-top box supports portable hard drives, 1080p content, BBC iPlayer and Spotify which, typically, you'd end up paying out more cash for elsewhere. While a lot of fuss is made about the Sky Now box, which costs just £10, we'd rather pay £50 and have the extra features provided here - and that's despite experiencing some slight hiccups.
Pros: Tiny, lower power use, cheap, great picture quality, good range of useful apps, USB input, built-in wireless, plays pretty much everything
Cons: A bit slow to navigate menus, bug sometimes crashes device and needs restart to recover
Price: £50
Full article: WD TV Play review
Advent Vega Tegra Note 7 review
Quick review: The Advent Vega Tegra Note 7 is one of the best affordable 7-inch tablets on the market, particularly if you're a gaming fan or like to use a stylus. If you haven't used a stylus the functionality of this one will have you addicted in no time. There's little negative to throw at the Vega Tegra, but of all the specs it's the screen resolution that sticks out. Sort that out in version two, trim the weight and we'll have a near-perfect tablet.
Pros: Top gaming graphics, DirectStylus is great, excellent cover (sold separately), good battery, plenty of power, pure Android OS, affordable
Cons: Could be a little lighter, needs more high-end games, resolution doesn't beat the competition
Price: £180
Full article: Vega Tegra Note 7 review
Bowers and Wilkins P7 review
Quick review: Perhaps the first and most impressive thing when taking the P7 pair out of the box is the feel: the weight, the soft leather, that brushed-aluminium and steel construction - all of which exude an aura of class. Then you put them on and things get even better - that all-important sound quality, which is everything you'd expect from Bowers & Wilkins, a brand that constantly strives for perfection and will only release a product when it's ready, not when it's fashionable to do so.
Pros: Gorgeous design with quality materials, not too ostentatious for over-the-ear headphones and can be worn out and about, superb audio performance with all types of music and movies
Cons: Some sound leakage outwards means you'll be sharing with those in your immediate surroundings, hardly budget (but they don't look or sound it)
Price: £329
Full article: B&W P7 review
Amazon Kindle Fire HDX review
Quick review: If you're after a good quality tablet that performs well, with a great display, plenty of power, at a good price and you're more interested Amazon's content than having the latest apps, then the Kindle Fire HDX may well make you very happy. If you're looking for an experience that brings the familiarity of your Android smartphone, you may want to consider a straight Android tablet instead.
Pros: Great display, plenty of power, great sound quality, competitive price, some interesting software features
Cons: Lack of Google Play support means very little parity with the rest of Android, design might not be for some, no native movie/TV downloads from Lovefilm is a limitation
Price: £199 (with offers)
Full article: Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch review
Nexus 5 review
Quick review: There's a lot packed into the affordable Nexus 5. For the money, you get a display that rivals devices that cost some £200 more, and a chipset that is, in many cases, more powerful. In addition to that, you have a Nexus device, meaning it's uncluttered by bloat and first in line for Android updates. There is, however, still plenty of merit in other flagship devices; the choice now, is just that little bit harder.
Pros: Value for money, display, lots of power, Android KitKat brings some exciting new elements
Cons: Camera performance leaves a little to be desired, battery performance could be better, the design and build might divide opinion
Price: £299 (16GB)
Full article: Google Nexus 5 review
Android 4.4 KitKat review
Quick review: The Nexus 5 is the first device to introduce the latest version of Android, better known as KitKat. It makes some important changes under the hood and introduces lots of new features, although much of the update is a nod to future potential. The build should benefit older devices as and when the update becomes available, but we don't like everything - such as the Hangout and SMS integration. For now, though, the fruits of how far Android will push things we'll have to wait out on.
Pros: Google Now and home screen tweaks draw services together, lots of potential for future, translucent UI elements look great, nod to lower spec devices will be good
Cons: Some of the changes don't go far enough, leaving us wanting more, apps tray is too static and needs options, integrating Hangouts and SMS could be confusing
Price: £free

Sony HMZ-T3W personal 3D viewer review
Quick review: There is no doubting that the HMZ-T3W is impressive. You'll probably have a good giggle at the accompanying pictures because - and by all accounts - whoever wears this device will look like an idiot. Throw all inhibitions out of the window, though, and it's a great viewing experience, albeit an expensive one.
Pros: Amazing picture
Cons: You'll look like an idiot, only 720p
Price: £1299
Full article: Sony Personal 3D Viewer review
Panasonic Lumix GM1 review
Quick review: The Panasonic Lumix GM1 is an utterly brilliant little camera. It sits on the fence between compact and compact system cameras yet gleefully sticks its tongue out at both sides. It's rare that a product feels like a hybrid of ideas and yet succeeds with such greatness - the GM1 is a clear, outstanding exception. Given the choice of a GM1 or a similar price high-end compact camera we don't even need to think for a second about which we'd go for. The GM1 wins out every time.
Pros: Small size, lightweight, decent build quality, fast autofocus, great images particularly when considered against high-end compacts, fair price, Micro Four Thirds lens system makes for versatile product, pinpoint focus mode
Cons: Poor battery life, 1080i not p video capture, no hotshoe, no viewfinder possible, accidental touchscreen presses not uncommon (can be turned off though), faux leather finish won't impress all
Price: £629

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 3.0 Diesel S Portfolio review
Quick review: Handsome, quick, spacious - the Jaguar XF Sportbrake in its 3.0 Diesel S trim is a good demonstration of how the right spec and format can make a car. Well equipped, with some well-resolved design qualities, it's also good to drive. Only a cabin and interface that are both showing their age let the side down.
Pros: Standard kit count, looks, good to drive, Meridian sound system, performance with economy, all round "feel-good" demeanour.
Cons: Doesn't feel as modern as an Audi, cabin feels slightly dated, touchscreen interface still not the best, lacks a few clever "family estate" features
Price: from £51,505 | £55,818 as tested

Tonight we have a tasty treat for you! I brought in two Wahoo loins and just finished cutting some beautiful steaks. This fish, called Ono in Hawaii or Peto in the Caribbean, has a lightly colored flesh with a slightly sweet and mild flavor that works well with being grilled and goes excellently with a creamy butter sauce. In an homage to its home waters and as an accent to its flavors we will be drizzling the steaks with a pineapple beurre blanc. This is a treat you shouldn't miss.
Our Fish Fries tonight feature a regular favorite and a slight twist on another. We have a half pound of hand-breaded Bluegill fillets, one of our most requested offerings, and, of course, our Beer Battered Haddock. The twist is that we are using Lake Louie's Tommy's Porter as the base for our Beer Batter. This dark, fully flavored beer makes a tremendous batter with a different, though equally excellent, flavor profile from our normal batter. Both come with steak fries, Cole slaw and tartar sauce, and both are great for a snowy February evening.
To finish the evening we have some excellent desserts. We have worked at making many of them in-house, or having Mariner's pastry chef make them (and she is AWESOME!), and we take great pride in our creations. The piece I want to tell you about tonight is our Double-Chocolate Bread Pudding. We use Sassy Cow Heavy Cream in the preparation of the dessert and serve it either warm or cold, depending on your preference. If you are a chocoholic like me, you will fall in love with this gooey and comforting dish, but don't take my word for it, come in and give it a try.
See you soon,
Chef Adam

To the Editor:
David McCullough Jr.'s ''You're Not Special'' graduation speech to the Wellesley (Mass.) High School graduating class was sobering and realistic, and probably would not appeal to the Syracuse educational community.
McCullough, an English teacher and graduation speaker, mentioned to the class that ''You've been pampered, doted upon, helmeted, bubble-wrapped ... and you are not special. There are 3.2 million students graduating from high school across the country. On a literal level, your dress, cap and gown is a one-size-fits-all, and your diplomas are not exceptional - except for different names.''
In an underlying tone he is also criticizing teachers from an ''insiders'' view, saying teachers have helped to raise students in an atmosphere of thinking they are special, when their accomplishments do not indicate they are special, except to the teachers and parents.
McCullough has the qualities of a gifted teacher, making students accountable with a no-nonsense approach that helps students face themselves realistically, without the la-la land approach. There are too many frivolous doings in schools that waste a lot of time. The main arena is the classroom - a place to learn and discover with critically thinking students and realistic teachers. All schools systems are not capable of this direction.

The Los Angeles Clippers withstood a 42-point barrage from Carmelo Anthony to defeat the New York Knicks 102-88 on Sunday afternoon, getting the bad taste of a 22-point loss at Miami out of their mouths.
Jamal Crawford led the Clippers with 27 points, Chris Paul put in 25 and Blake Griffin recorded a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds and hit a couple of huge jumpers late in the game.
Los Angeles built a double-digit lead early on, but the Knicks battled back and eventually went ahead in the third quarter. However, the Clippers dominated the fourth, outscoring New York 31-18 as their guards held off the Knicks defense.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The state House of Representatives on Thursday could give final legislative approval to a plan that in effect could impose a state ban on abortion, supporters and opponents say.
"My first hope is that it will prevent abortion in Alabama," said state Sen. Phil Williams, R-Rainbow City, the sponsor of the plan, Senate Bill 301.
The bill passed the Senate in May and is on a tentative House voting agenda for Thursday, which will be the last day in this year's regular session of the Legislature.
The bill says the term "persons" as used in state laws shall include "any human being from the moment of fertilization and implantation into the womb."
Opponents said that, besides challenging abortion, the bill likely would have wide-ranging effects on state law dealing with property rights, inheritance, taxes, crimes such as manslaughter and in many other areas.
"If passed, it would effectively ban abortion throughout Alabama. It would, also, likely engender any number of lawsuits trying to figure out what on earth it means on other aspects of state law," said Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, a staff attorney in New York for the Reproductive Freedom Project of the American Civil Liberties Union.
She said the bill, if passed, might even subject a woman who had a miscarriage to investigation for manslaughter or another crime. "Any time a woman had a miscarriage, she could face a criminal investigation," Kolbi-Molinas said.
Williams, who is a lawyer, disagreed. "There is no crime for a natural event such as a miscarriage," he said. "It's the same as if a child got sick and died due to a disease; no one is going to hold that parent responsible."
"If someone purposefully aborts a child, that's a different story altogether." Williams said.
Lawsuits would follow
Jared Shepherd, an attorney for the ACLU of Alabama, said the organization would sue to block implementation of Senate Bill 301 if it were to become law, since it would be a "direct challenge" to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that legalized abortions nationwide.
State Rep. John Merrill, R-Tuscaloosa, who sponsored a bill similar to Williams' bill, said he would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned some day by the U.S. Supreme Court, and Senate Bill 301 could be the vehicle to prompt a challenge of the ruling.
Merrill and Kolbi-Molinas both said no state now has a law like Senate Bill 301.
Rep. John Knight, D-Montgomery, said the state likely would be in court defending the bill if it became law. "We don't have a whole lot of money to be defending something like this," he said.
'Unknown impacts'
Knight also said the bill could have broad, currently unknown impacts on hundreds of other areas of state law where the word "persons" is used, and might affect child support payments or claiming dependents to reduce income taxes. "I think it could affect almost anything," Knight said. "Just go down the line; it's just so broad."
Rep Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, agreed, and said the bill could raise a host of questions, small and big, if it becomes law.
"If I go to the movies, do I have to buy two tickets if I'm pregnant? On my IRS forms, do I now claim a fetus as a dependent? Can I buy life insurance on that fetus?" Todd asked. She added that the "obvious question" is whether a woman who miscarries could be charged with a crime.
Williams said, "There are a lot of tangential arguments, whether it would broaden the scope of things like inheritance and tax deductions and property rights. I see those as frivolous arguments designed to impede the process" of passing the bill.
"First of all, issues such as inheritance or tax deductions or property ownership all involve an intent and ability on the part of the person to make use of or enjoy them," he said. "To say that a fetus should have a property right in a piece of real property or should have the ability to use a bank account left behind by a (dead person) is basically a silly argument."
Rewrite suggested
But Clarke Forsythe, senior counsel for Americans United for Life, a nonprofit law and policy organization in Washington, said he thinks the bill should be rewritten "to more specifically focus on protecting the developing human being."
"I support the goals" of the bill, Forsythe said. "I wonder, though, whether all the circumstances have been anticipated in which this might be applied."
"If the term 'person' in the Alabama code is used thousands of times, you just can't anticipate the different contexts," Forsythe said, adding that he thinks a Missouri law on the rights of "the unborn child" would be a good model for an Alabama bill.

Hi, welcome to GTA Wiki. Thanks for contributing to the User talk:The Tom page, and for taking interest in the wiki. Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything, or as alternatives, leave a post on a forum, or refer to the Help pages. -- McJeff (Talk) 05:37, August 3, 2012
- First off you are all miserable pieces of shit. What I have done on the GTA V Wiki is create a healthy space where people can stop by and not be harassed, bullied or mercilessly persecuted for haveing a differant opinion than others.
You were never harassed, bullied or mercilessly persecuted for having a difference of opinion, you were blocked for breaking rules, the way you spoke to staff was completely unacceptable, so you were blocked. We're all open to a healthy debate and to other peoples views but you put your views across in an unacceptable manner.
- Between Jeff (doesn't belive in God, why would he belive in gta myths, or anything of faith for that matter), extremo (third world nit-witt that can barely formulate a sentance and doesn't know a thing about US copyright laws) and yourself (a vindictive little brat that runs this wiki like a dictator) you have all created a following of misfits to belive that I'm some sort of bad guy.
Jeff's religious views are not the reason we don't allow myths on the Wiki, we don't allow them because they're speculation, and all the evidence is from mods. Extremo has much better English than you, he can spell sentence and I actually just told him that he shouldn't of added source links as the problem was resolved. I'm not vindictive I just follow the rules and punish those that don't, as any good Wiki staff member should, the fact that you blocked me on your Wiki for telling you to follow Wikia rules shows how much of a "vindictive little brat" you are. The editors of this Wiki believe you are a bad guy because of your actions, I've told them nothing.
- I blocked 2 people on my wiki today, one for harassment and the other (third world) for spamming your wiki on my pages which all have been rewritten and are not in violation of any wikia rules. FYI all the pictures I get are either from myself or off the internet, THE GTA WIKI DOES NOT OWN THE IMAGES ON THE INTERNET. Don't send anymore of your henchmen to harass me or spam on my wiki or I will have wikia up your ass.
Like I said I told Extremo that you had every right to remove the source links as you had removed the copied information. The majority of the images you have got from the internet are actually from the GTA Wiki, you've obviously gone in Google images and it happens that our images appear there. And as for the other images that aren't from our Wiki, well someone does own them so you should follow the copyright laws by including a source. I've never asked anyone else to get involved, I solved the situation with the copied info myself, it just happened that other users saw what I saw and tried to act on it. Tom Talk 10:49, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
- Listen here Joshua, I'm a Filipino but I can speak English way better than you. For example you can't even spell "belive" in a right way or "aggree". I think it is YOU who is considered "Third World" because not only your spelling is fallacious but your grammar is also worser than an idiotic living person. Also I doubt that you speak in a polite manner beacuse of your previous behavior of speaking offensively to an admin who all he did is undoing your "inaccurate" edits which are yet to be confirmed.
- And for any reasons you might have reword those content (if it indeed belonged to you) but the images you add all belong to this wiki and seems like Grand Theft Wiki as well, in which they must have a source. Every images that belonged here and in the other wiki (to be specified for a person like you: Grand Theft Wiki) must have a source and without that, it is still considered plagiarism. And who do you think you are that are supported by Wikia? Wikia will support us because this wiki is the most hosted. ExtremoMania Talk To Me This Way 12:09, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

WATERLOO TWP., MI – A man who fled from Michigan State Police and hit a police vehicle head-on was arraigned on several felony charges Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Girolamo Anthony Marinello, 46, of Utica, was arraigned in Jackson County District Court on several charges, including assault with a dangerous weapon and malicious destruction of police property, both a four year felony.
Michigan State Police Sgt. Greg Jones said that the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon stems from when Marinello struck a police vehicle.
Reports state Marinello allegedly hit the police vehicle on purpose.
The incident happened Monday, Feb. 11, when a Michigan State Police trooper from the Lansing post attempted to stop Marinello in Ingham County near the Jackson County line.
A press release states Marinello fled into Jackson County, abruptly changed directions and purposely struck the state police vehicle head on. The crash happened on Neu Road in Waterloo Township. No injuries were reported.
Marinello refused to exit the vehicle, and with the assistance of Stockbridge Police officers, he was removed from the vehicle and arrested.
Marinello also faces charges of third degree fleeing and eluding, a five-year felony; resisting and obstructing a police officer, a two-year felony; and reckless driving, a 93-day misdemeanor.

Nick Gruber's (Real) Tell-All Book Reveals Juicy Details Of An "Epic Lovemaking Session" With Calvin Klein!
Remember when Nick Gruber told Michael Musto last week that the rumored tell-all book he was writing about his relationship with Calvin Klein was nothing more than "false information"?
Well, it's real, and a copy of the book proposal has found its way into the hands of one lucky Post editor.
This is the book that landed Gruber a glossy spread in October 2012's Page Six Magazine, only to be abandoned and shrugged off as if it never happened. "I was never gonna write a book," he told Musto after Klein funneled a boatload of hush money into his checking account. "I never would do something like that or hurt someone I love."
The proposal, published by the Post this morning, is a doozy. From detailing the finer points of an "epic lovemaking session" between Gruber and Klein (he's never had sex with men for money) to explaining how he became a male escort (even though he's never been a male escort), the whole proposal is almost too much to take in one sitting.
That's why you have us. Allow us to point out the finer lines of this stunning proposal—but before we do, you've been warned that the line "the pair made love in a famous French church" is printed below. Hopefully you haven't eaten lunch yet.
How Nick Gruber became a male escort:
Gruber never questioned this transient, grifter existence until he met fashion icon Calvin Klein. After vandalizing vacation homes in McCall, he returned to California, where his mother was living. Gruber, then just barely 18, was at the welfare office picking up his mother's food stamps when "an overweight and unattractive man" approached him in an encounter that would soon change the course of the poor, wayward teen's life.
Oh wait, we meant "model":
Despite Gruber's recent statement to Gawker that he was "never once in [his] life" an escort, the proposal says the man insisted Gruber could forge a career as a model.
"Later of course I found out that this is a typical, cliché come-on line to get you into the escort business," the proposal says. Gruber had no interest in having sex with men, but he soon learned he was every gay man's fantasy, which he would parlay into his alter ego — and some nice pocket change.
Oh behalf of every Sean Cody model past, present, and future:
"Some gay men love the idea of seducing a straight guy, and that, I would come to discover was a big part of my appeal."
Sounds totally legit:
He met now-deceased porn producer Vaughn Kinsley, who was "well known for supplying hot young boys to the rich and famous in Los Angeles."
Kinsley, according to the proposal, promised to find him a "sugar daddy," and later informed him that Calvin Klein had seen a photo of Gruber in nothing but a green jacket and was taken with him. Klein's name, synonymous with a global fashion empire, meant nothing to the teenager.
Once he touched down in the Hamptons, a limo was waiting to usher Gruber to the home of Klein's ex-wife, Kelly.
There, Klein greeted Gruber at the door wearing a short-sleeve shirt and sweatpants.
"Hi, I'm Calvin, come on in."
Klein took him on a tour of the home before showing him the guest house, which was filled with lit candles and a roaring fire.
According to the proposal, the pair had an epic lovemaking session.
"Not to sound arrogant, but I really think Calvin first started to fall in love with me that night," the proposal says.
Just for kicks:
"The next morning, Klein took Gruber to the Ralph Lauren store."
"Penchant for public sex":
Gruber's metamorphosis became a pet project for Klein, who proceeded to make him over in his likeness.
The couple embarked on a European vacation, where the besotted Klein "pressures" Gruber to profess his love for his older boyfriend. (And showed his penchant for public sex — the proposal claims the pair made love in a famous French church.)
Nick's allowance, because you've always wondered:
According to the proposal, Gruber camped out in the Greenwich Street apartment, seeing his older suitor on weekends. When Klein stopped giving Gruber his $10,000-a-month allowance, the one-time escort said he returned to turning tricks to support his louche lifestyle and partying ways, which included bedding a mogul's daughter and another's (female) personal assistant.
To wrap up the epic piece, the Post includes the greatest quote about Nick Gruber ever, courtesy of ex-boyfriend John Luciano. "The refreshing part of Nick is that he was very open about who he was and not ashamed," he said. "To me that was one of the best parts of Nick. I don't know who is advising him. They are trying to turn a cook at Applebee's into a top chef at Per Se."
How about this image remake? It's one for the books!
Repeating yesterday's comment: Ugh, not this guy, AGAIN!
I think Queerty is part of his new PR campaign.
So Klein buys a hooker and then thinking that he is Richard Geer in "Pretty Woman" sets about trying to clean the guy up?
I have news for Calvin Klein, if the hooker ever gets their lives together the first thing I imagine they would do would be to dump the 100 year old guy paying them for sex.
In the words of the immortal Cristal Connors…You're a whore darlin.
Hasn't this already been a movie?
The way this story is playing out seems very orchestrated. And Queerty is definetly on the payrole….but I guess I shouldn't complain if I keep clicking on the storylines. I feel dirty…..
"he soon learned he was every gay man's fantasy……"
Ah, I don't think so.
Curious that he left out the parts that involve CK being into bondage, as in he being the one tied up. Curious the discretion.
O.M.G you guys.. I just love this story lol. It's like a gay soap-op. I can't get enough of Mr Gruber. I only wish somehow I was casted in this crazy messy soap.
gzzz omg you guys what part would I play. Hhhmmm…oh! maybe I can play Mr Klein's personal assistant. That way I could really be in the thick of it lol…ooo I just love it.
I was having a terrible day until now. I almost cried when i say the price for my school books this semester and all my classes suck. But this story really made my day. Hhhh all in all it has been a great summer with Nick Gruber.
I kind of find it gross when elderly men like Klein or Heffner are getting kids ( and that's what they are) in sexual relationships. Kinda creepy.
According to John Luciano, "epic lovemaking" would be in the "legend in his own mind" category.
@B Damion: Books are expensive. I just swiped my partner's credit card and stopped worrying about it.
Oh, btw, Grub is by NO means every gay man's fantasy. Some of us like real, gay men. Oh, and seducing a straight boy is by no means a fantasy of any self-respecting gay man. Straight boy drama (especially the ones who would go gay for pay) is 1,000,000 times worse than gay boy drama.
Another thing that people have to understand is that this went on in NYC. That $10,000 is about $100 anywhere else, especially to CK.
This book goes straight to the 99 cent bin.
I remember in years past when people would tell me that Calvin Klein is straight. I would laugh so hard, and they'd have this upset look on their face. He doesn't look bad for 70. His prostitute boyfriend is really low class ass though. Didn't Calvy give him enough money without him having to stoop so low as to kiss and tell?
Ive seen this movie before…
Not every gay man' s fantasy , not mine, he is fat and ugly, my feet are prettier than his face
"Gruber's metamorphosis became a pet project for Klein, who proceeded to make him over in his likeness."
ALWAYS the sign of a perfectly healthy, perfectly normal relationship.
@B Damion: Yeah I wish I didn't care but its too funny. My books were 400 bucks! What they hit you for?
Jeez, are y'all trying to make me sick?
Queerty if you're on that disgusting person's payroll, at least let us know.
You're aware that absolutely 0% of your readers care about this guy? Please stop posting anymore stories about him.
Really, I just came here for the comments, but "every gay man's fantasy"? Not even if I were on whatever the hell Miley was on Sunday night.
OK….wait….he was at the welfare office, picking up his mother's food stamps??? its a
good thing Nick isn't Black. The bigots on queerty would be all over it like white on rice….but he's white and this is queerty so no one has made a peep about it. Typical
Several things, some of which have already been said but I'll reiterate them. Nick is not every gay man's fantasy as he is not mine at all. Would I f— him, maybe if it were easy enough. Next, I too come here only for the comments as the story is ages old and really uninteresting. What would be interesting is Jan Michael Vincent's REAL Hollywood experience as that story has never been told. I do recall the blonde boy who was a fixture at Calvin Klein's Pines home years and years ago who looked quite similar to Nick. Last, Canon was so insightful, were Nick Black, I agree the bigots would in fact be all over this and the comments would be quite different. So much for race doesn't matter any more. Queerty, can we move past this story and get on to something people care about reading?
@Cannon: $10,000 a month? It must be nice to be a generically attractive young white gay dude.
Nevermind, I just looked up pictures of this guy and he is not cute. What am I missing?
@Scribe38 ..O.M.G..my books came to a devastating total of $639. Insane right? I would gladly take Mr.Klein's black card right now. lol.
Oh yes, because the commenters have been SO nice to him on here. lol The guys been called a whore, ugly, stupid, etc…
@Cam: Give Cannon a break. He just tuned in and saw that a white boy said he went to the welfare office to collect food stamps. Somehow he construed there to be racism here because no one said crap about it and that's only because he was white. Lol
@Geoff B: Well, if it's someone's fantasy there's always his porn work. I've not seen it though and have 0 interest of ever seeing it.
A wrinkled billionaire narcissist and a twinkie opportunist prostitute. Snore…
Loool, with each passing day, this sounds like it might make a good LifeTime or LOGO movie.
From Welfare to Whorefare: The Nick Gruber* Story.
Coming to a small screen near you shortly.
*Thing is not my fantasy, not in a 1,000 years.
What everyone seems to be missing is that Nick Gruber is a very damaged individual who needs a good therapist and a real job. He thinks he is getting what he wants, but he is being exploited at every turn.
@tdx3fan: Yeahhhh, no–that's totally elitist and ridiculous. I lived in NYC for 3 years. It's very possible to live in NYC on a modest salary.

Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park opens May 1
PARKERSBURG – Beginning May 1, the Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park will open for the 2014 season as visitors begin taking sternwheeler rides to visit the restored mansion and tour the historic island.
Park superintendent Matt Baker said the 2013 season was a positive one, with high attendance throughout the summer.
While the weather was often rainy, Baker said most of the weekends were clear and drew good attendance throughout the season.
"It's also attributable to our special events," he said. "We had a lot more special events, dinner cruises and things like that which give people new reasons to come out."
With the opening of the island on May 1, visitors can board the Island Belle Sternwheeler at Point Park in downtown Parkersburg for the trips to and from Blennerhassett Island.
Boat ride tickets will be sold at the Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History at Second and Juliana streets in downtown Parkersburg, two blocks from the docking area at the city floodwall. This year's season will see a $1 increase in boat ride tickets, but no other changes, Baker said.
The rates are: museum admission $4 for adults and $2 for children ages 3-12; boat ride, $10 for adults and $8 for children ages 3-12; mansion tour, $4 for adults and $2 for children ages 3-12; and wagon ride, $5 each for all ages.
In a program that began in 2012, a couple of discounts will be available to visitors. Sundays are "Senior Sundays" with seniors age 60 and older getting $1 off boat tickets and $2 off museum admission. A military discount will give $1 off boat tickets every day for active military members, as well as $2 off museum admission.
Beginning May 1 and running through early June, the island will be open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5:30 p.m. Sunday. The museum will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
The hours will change at various times throughout the season. The island is usually closed on Mondays, but will be open on Memorial Day and Labor Day. The museum will be open on Mondays by appointment only.
For information or directions, call 304-420-4800 or online at www.blennerhassettislandstatepark.com.
In 2013, Baker said the former ticket booth near the floodwall entrance was leased out as a concession stand. Continuing that program this year, the stand will sell food items and refreshments during the island's hours of operation and will also be open during special events downtown like the Point Park Music Series, depending on the concessionaire's plans and abilities, he said.
The main feature of Blennerhassett Island is the reconstructed Blennerhassett Mansion, which is furnished with many artifacts owned by Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett or coming from that period.
Other artifacts and items can be seen on display at the Blennerhassett Museum, which features three stories of exhibits, a video display telling the story of the Blennerhassetts and a gift shop.
Visits to the island provide visitors with the opportunity to take mansion tours guided by docents in period clothing and take narrated wagon rides. There are also bicycle rentals, a gift shop and a concession stand. A volunteer-operated golf cart is also available for those with mobility issues.
The Hardly Able Carriage Co., owned by John Smith of Ellenboro, W.Va., will return for another year of offering the wagon rides on the island. The company also provides wagon rides at North Bend State Park using wooden wagons hand-built by Smith and his family.
The Island Belle is also available for charters when not involved in transporting visitors between Parkersburg and the island. A number of specialty cruises and activities have remained or have been added to the schedule for this year, he said.
"We're expanding the operations of the Belle a lot this year," Baker said.
Beginning in June, Blennerhassett Island will also bring back some popular programs, including the Island Frolic and the Sundae Sunday cruise. Additional dates are planned for the popular "Brunch with Margaret" program, Baker said.
The first special event of the season will be the annual Rendezvous on the River from May 7-10. Pioneer re-enactors will set up camp on the island and show how early settlers and pioneers lived with authentic camps, demonstrations and period dress.
In June, the island's annual West Virginia Day Celebration is being expanded, Baker said. In addition to the annual birthday cake program on June 20, additional activities are planned on June 21-22 including a Civil War encampment with battle re-enactments, he said.
"We will also have a Civil War-era baseball team playing against some of the re-enactors," Baker said.
Last year, Baker said the island added monthly nature hikes on the first Saturday of each month from June through October. Those hikes proved very popular, he said, and will be returning this season. The tours will focus on a variety of things, including songbirds, trees, a nature treasure hunt, bugs and river ecology. A special "moth night" will be held in July.
"They were very kid-friendly and family-friendly," Baker said of the nature hikes.
Over the past several years, park employees have been restoring the historic Putnam-Houser House, which was transported to the island from Belpre. The Putnam-Houser House was completed in 2009 and is open Fridays through Sundays this summer. Tours are free and will be guided by docents. A donation box is available with proceeds going to help maintain the historic home.
More volunteers are always needed on the island and in the museum. Volunteers can work in the gift shops in both places or learn to be docents and give tours of the mansion. For mansion docents, training and period clothing is provided.

Car impounds now longer for suspended drivers
"There was a time in Island County when getting your car impounded by law enforcement meant that you lost the use of your car for a couple of days and had to pay a small fine to get it back.Now, with the imposition of a new state law, getting caught with a suspended license can cause drivers to lose their cars for good. Since October, Washington State Patrol troopers have been impounding cars for a minimum of 30 days every time they have come across a driver with a suspended or revoked license. At the price of $25 a day for the impound, drivers face a bill of $850 or more when they go to pick up their cars -- which can be more than an impounded car is actually worth.The longer impound makes the roads safer, according to State Patrol Chief Annette Sandberg. Statistically three times more likely to be involved in collisions and less likely to carry liability insurance, unlicensed drivers are targets under the new law.Sergeant Darrin Grondel, the trooper handling public information related to the new impound law, said locking away someones car will make the roads safer.Its a matter of traffic safety, Grondel said.Sheriff impounds arent so lengthyThe Island County Sheriffs Office wants to protect the public as much as any other agency, however it does not impound cars for as long a period of time as the State Patrol. Counties and cities may adopt the state impound law, or use their own, as Island County has done. For a first offense on a suspended license, the county impounds a car for 72 hours. Most other violations call for the 72-hour or a 10-day limit. Sheriff Mike Hawley said using longer impound periods not only uses the law to punish an unlicensed driver, but economics as well. During a 30 or 60-day impound, fees and fines can easily surpass the value of a car. With every day that passes, it becomes less and less likely that a cars owner can afford to get it back.A majority of the cars were impounding run between $1,000 and $2,000, Hawley said. When impounded cars fall out of the economic reach of their owners, Hawley said government walks a thin line on the issue of private property rights. That is one reason he wants to see the countys impound law to differ from the state law.It was my view, the way it was written ... it was too draconian, Hawley said.Suspended drivers seen as menaceBut the State Patrol has its view, too, and backs up its stiff stance with statistics that show drivers with suspended licenses to be a greater menace on the road than the average driver. For example, in 1993, 27 percent of the 120 suspended drivers involved in fatal DUI accidents had prior DUI convictions. That is compared to 1.7 percent of the 713 drunk drivers with valid licenses involved in the same type of collision.Sgt. Grondel acknowledged that having two different statutes in force in Island or any other county can be a headache for the courts when they enforce patrol citations. But the new law makes procedures for a suspension arrest clearer than before. In the past, impounds were not mandatory, nor was there a hold period on impounded cars. That left a good deal of decision-making to the troopers and often negated the punishment factor an impound is supposed to carry.Towing companies find law painfulWhile it is plain that drivers affected by the new law are not going to be happy about it, the other affected parties -- towing companies -- may also be taking a negative hit. Gordy Simmons, owner of Clintons Simmons Towing, said he puts 25 to 30 cars in his impound yard every month at the request of law enforcement. Many of them are there because they have been involved in accidents or have been abandoned at the side of the road. And they often stay there for a long time, especially the abandoned cars. It is common for the owner of a run- down car to fill it with trash and park it on a public road, said Simmons, just to get rid of it.Its getting to be a real pain, he said. I have threatened to quit towing for the county.The new State Patrol regulations will add to that pain, as Simmons will have to hang onto cars longer, often until the daily impound fines exceed the value of a particular car. Then he is stuck with another junk vehicle and all the paperwork it takes to either become the de facto owner prior to auction, or to haul it to a wrecking yard.The county and state do have mechanisms built into their impound ordinances that make them more user-friendly. An appeals process designed for hardship cases can keep a car out of impound if the actions of one driver in a family might take away others only access to a car. Hawley said the point to having a suspended/revoked license law is to punish a driver, not his or her family. Under state law, only a spouse of a driver arrested for a suspended license violation may go into the appeals process.The one place on South Whidbey where a driver caught with a suspended license may not lose his or her car is in Langley. According to Police Chief Bob Herzberg, the city does not have an ordinance that requires a car impound when a driver is caught with a suspended license, nor is the police department required to follow the state law."

2014 Farm Bill Streamlines, Consolidates Conservation Programs
The 2014 Farm Bill has streamlined key conservation programs while strongly investing in conservation programs offered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service. The bill provides about $3.4 billion for fiscal 2014 for NRCS-administered programs.
The Farm Bill continues to provide financial and technical assistance for farmers and forest landowners in Vermont wanting to put conservation to work on their land through the NRCS' Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
Under the new bill, EQIP absorbed the former Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program (WHIP). The resource priorities and goals of WHIP to enhance wildlife habitat are now part of EQIP.
The agency's key easement programs have also been merged into a new program called the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). The new program includes the former Wetlands Reserve Program, Grasslands Reserve Program and Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program.
"The new Farm Bill continues to give farmers and forest landowners the tools they need to address resource concerns while helping the environment," Vermont State Conservationist, Vicky M. Drew, said. "NRCS is moving swiftly to get the consolidated and expanded programs implemented."
To learn about technical and financial assistance available through conservation programs, visit your local USDA service center. For more on the 2014 Farm Bill, visit www.nrcs.usda.gov/FarmBill.

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Good morning and welcome to your daily look at what's happening in Flint and Genesee County.
While the game of chess has pieces with names more reminiscent of medieval times than modern days, it's drawn the interest of students at Clio schools from children to young adults for more than three decades.
Thursday, April 17, for the first time in nearly 50 years, Flint and Genesee County won't have a long-term contract in place for buying water from Detroit. The water will still flow, but they'll pay a premium without a contract.

Actually, the headline's a lie. I didn't actually go to Toronto, I was just there in mind and spirit.
Anyway, another loss tonight against the Blue Jays brings about a question I never wanted to ask: How many different ways can I express the same emotions? Frustration, rage, embarassment -- couple them with the occasional dose of optimistic "don't worry, it'll be fine when we hit Tampa Bay" thinking, and I'm pretty much a mess.
The anchor, again, was the offense. I'm sorry, but when a 90-win team heads out to face a sub-.500 team (the Jays were 74-75 before reeling off three straight wins against Boston), we should be able to expect more than five runs in the series. Yet that's what the Sox produced -- even though they didn't have to face Jays ace Roy Halladay at all during the series.
Put it this way: There's very little Sox fans can take away from this series with Toronto and say, "Yeah, that'll help the team down the road." The bullpen coughed up leads, Tim Wakefield struggled in his start and Clay Buchholz picked up his first Major League loss last night.
In fact, the only thing Sox fans might be able to take some solace in is if Terry Francona remembers how miserably Eric Gagne failed to reward his "trust," as Joy of Sox notes today.
On another note, the Yankees won again last night, giving them 12 wins in their last 14 games.
Of course, you'd know that if you've seen the regular heckling in the comments over the last few days by "resoxlosers." Guy's like Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show, except funnier looking, I imagine.

Robot Rivalry between Arlington and Marysville-Pilchuck
ARLINGTON — A new rivalry is forming between two high schools, but it's not on any sporting field — it's in the classroom.
More specifically, it's in robotics.
"They did really well for a rookie team last year," said Shaun Hensler, a Marysville-Pilchuck graduate and former robotics team member who now volunteers his time with Arlington High School's team. "It's kind of a friendly competition."
Although both school teams are competing against each other, that hasn't stopped either group from helping each other out while working toward a common goal, which is taking home first prize in the FIRST Robotics Competition in March 2010 at Key Arena in Seattle.
Building on previous experience, members of both school teams are beginning to gear up for this year's annual robot build season, which begins in January and culminates in the competition.
The event requires teams to design and construct a robot that can complete a specific task. The robot that can do that job the best is crowned the winner.
"Last year I drove (our) robot, and it's crazy because there are literally thousands of people watching you and wanting you to fail or win," said Michael Calkins, Marysville-Pilchuck senior and this year's team leader. "The pressure shows you what kind of person you are."
Last year, the event required teams to build remote-controlled robots that could collect plastic balls.
Marysville-Pilchuck's team tied for second place, while Arlington placed 32nd of 64 teams.
"Last year, we were on an ice-like field and we had to get as many balls in opposing teams' trailers," said Ray Grice, president of the Arlington club. "There's no one perfect design, so you see a lot of different styles of robot. I remember seeing one that looked just like a turtle."
This year's 'game,' as students refer to it, will be announced Jan. 9. Participating teams will then have six weeks to design and construct their robots. Clubs can either purchase a kit offered by organizers, use their own parts, or any combination of the two, said Arlington club mentor Glenn Frable.
"Right now we're experimenting with old parts that we didn't use last year," said Frable, a volunteer for the club who also works in airplane systems computing for Boeing. "Up until the kickoff event, it's all just preparation."
In addition to the students learning technical skills, robotics students learn how to work as a team to solve problems, said Brett Sarver, career and technical education director at Arlington High School.
Sarver said last year the Arlington team spent four weeks trying to get their robot to work. After no success, Sarver said one girl on the team simply asked him how to do it.
"I said 'I don't know,'" Sarver said. "It's like she thought I was holding the answer back from her."
Once the students realized that there was not a simple answer, they began to have success, he said.
In addition to working on the technical side of building a robot, such as programming or engineering, the Arlington and Marysville-Pilchuck teams have team members strictly devoted to business and public relations.
Brittney Schopf, a senior at Marysville-Pilchuck, said she doesn't know much about programming a robot, but that hasn't stopped her from becoming the team's public relations leader.
Her duties include making banners, printing T-shirts and writing thank you letters to sponsors.
"There are so many different components to it," Schopf said.
Marysville-Pilchuck started its robotics club during the 2007-08 school year and Arlington followed suit last school year. The Marysville team has about 30 members in its club, while Arlington has 22.
Both teams are looking to build on their respective finishes this year.
"Last year we had to really teach students," said Grice. "This year students are more confident. We don't have set people doing different tasks — we're encouraging people to step up and try new things."
Both after-school clubs are currently soliciting donations and sponsors for their teams. For more information, contact either Marysville-Pilchuck mentor Mike Fitzpatrick at 360-658-0734 or Sarver at 360-618-6300.

The time according to atoms
An extra second in 2012
With this atomic definition of time, we are faced with two times: we still have astronomical time, the one we experience every day if you like, which is the legacy of the definition based on the rotation of the earth. And then there is atomic time, which is completely independent of this rotation. We therefore have what is known as universal time (UT), based on the rotation of the earth, and international atomic time (TAI), provided by the average of a set of several hundred atomic clocks distributed worldwide. This average is calculated by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in the suburbs of Paris. The two times will drift over time since the first one is based on a phenomenon that slows down on average while the second one is far more stable and regular. If we measure exactly 24 hours on an atomic clock, you will note that during this lapse of time, the earth hasn't quite completed its rotation. This is the reason why a 'leap' second has to be added from time to time (or removed if, for instance, the distribution of masses on the surface of the earth were to momentarily accelerate its rotation!). This is what will happen this year, in 2012: the last minute of the last day in June will have an extra second: after 23:59:59, 30 June, GMT, it will be 23:59:60, and only 00:00:00, 1 July, one second later. Here, the difference between the two time scales will once again fall below a 0.9 second. Since 1972, 24 leap seconds have been added to maintain the coincidence between the two types of time. The correct TAI time is thus called Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It has the dual advantage of having the accuracy of TAI while remaining synchronised with the earth's rotation, i.e., with UT.
The Liège clock
The first atomic clocks were created at the end of the 1940s, but these trials weren't conclusive. This was to change in the mid-1950s, with the recourse to caesium atoms, or isotope 133 to be exact, which isn't radioactive. "In principle, any kind of atom can be used in atomic clocks", Thierry Bastin points out, "but when people started making them, they selected atoms (caesium, rubidium and hydrogen) that emitted in a range of well-mastered frequencies, i.e., microwaves." While caesium atoms were the first to be used and undoubtedly remain the most frequent, hydrogen clocks (called hydrogen masers [Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation]) appeared at the beginning of the 1960s, offering greater stability. The clock developed by the University of Liège belongs to this category.

My mom and I were abandoned. We were both very scared but we got lucky when Animal Aid took us in. My mom was very protective of me and I love her a lot, but you know, she's a mom and you can only have so much fun with your mom!
I got even luckier when another kitten the same age as me came to live with us. His name is Reggie. We were instantly best friends and started playing together and getting into all sorts of kitten trouble (you know, like jumping on the coffee table and knocking off all the magazines). We love each other so much that we sleep together with our paws wrapped around each other. Since neither of us had other littermates to hang out with, we are especially happy to be together. Everyone says we are an adorable pair. Of course, we'd really like to go to a new home together so we'd never have to be apart.
We'll still be in a foster home for a bit longer, but if you want to find out more about us or how you can visit us, go to the Animal Aid website or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Check out the photo below to see my baby picture and my pretty mom, Isabelle. She's looking for a home too. She's kind of old though: She was born way back in 2010!

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Motorists will endure 24 extra hours of a left-lane closure on northbound U.S. 131 at the westbound I-96 interchange.
John Richard, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Transportation, said the lane was expected to reopen at noon Thursday, but crews need an extra day to work.
"They're just going over there and fixing some bad chunks of concrete, basically," Richard said, adding they're also "repairing some joints."
The closure went into effect Sunday at noon, and now is expected to wrap up at noon Friday.
The lane closure has not led to an interchange closure. Motorists are, however, dealing with an interchange closure from southbound U.S. 131 to westbound Ford Freeway.
That closure, which will be lifted at 3 p.m. today, is in place to replace soil contaminated by diesel fuel spilled during a fiery semi-truck wreck last week.

Empty Bowls 2011
On behalf of the Robert Langen Art Gallery, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the Waterloo Potters' Workshop for their enthusiasm and willingness to collaborate with us as a second venue host for Empty Bowls 2011.
Hosting this initiative proved to be a wonderful community building experience for all students, staff and faculty at WLU. Not only did we raise $4,000 in support of The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, but we raised awareness of the issues and concerns surrounding hunger in our Region.
The positive feedback from this event has been tremendous - from interest in learning more about workshop members to those wanting to give their time to the food bank. Not to mention a flood of pleads to have the event become an annual Laurier tradition.
Lastly, a special thank you to those who purchased tickets - your support helped to inspire us to remember the importance of giving back to our community!

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas -- The Little Rock, Ark. man charged with fatally shooting a 15-year-old girl who vandalized his car says he only meant to scare the teens when fired shots at them.
Willie Noble, 48, told police he ran out of his house and starting shooting when the group of teenagers returned early Saturday morning after hitting his car with eggs, mayonnaise, leaves and toilet paper, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.
"Mr. Noble stated he was not trying to shoot anyone, he was just trying to scare them," Little Rock police Detective Brad Silas wrote in his report.
Adrian Broadway, 15, was fatally shot in the head when she and six of her friends drove to Noble's home in an ongoing prank war, the newspaper reported. Another teen, Dshone Nelson, 18, suffered minor cuts due to broken glass.
Noble is charged with first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated assault and one count of committing a terroristic act. He is being held on $1 million bond.
