Roughly 70% of tracked NHL bettors are taking the Vancouver Canucks (26-13-1-6) to beat the Anaheim Ducks (29-11-3-3) in Thursday night's 10:00 PM ET game. The Canucks will be playing at home at Rogers Arena where they are 15-5-0-3 on the year and Las Vegas has them as a -155 betting favorite over an Anaheim squad that has gone an impressive 13-5-2-3 on the road this season.
CALL 800-579-4692–Tonys Courtesy Line
Anaheim Ducks at Vancouver Canucks NHL Free Pick
Vancouver has been one of the hottest teams in the NHL over the last month or so and they've won 7 of their last 10 games while defeating some of the best teams in hockey over that span. The Canucks recently won 3-1 at home against the Chicago Blackhawks in an impressive one-sided win and have won 5 in a row at home while giving up a total of just 4 goals combined in those games.
One thing that supports a bet on the Ducks here is that the road team has won in 5 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings between the Ducks and the Canucks. Vancouver won 5-0 on the road as a +105 underdog in January while the Ducks won 7-3 here as a +136 underdog a week prior. This series is knotted at 1-and-1 and 5 of the last 6 between these teams have gone over their respective totals (Thursday's line is set at 5 goals).
Anaheim had struggled a bit recently while dropped 4 in a row but has since rebounded with back-to-back wins over the Edmonton Oilers. Beating a team like the Oilers doesn't really properly show that a team is back to their winning ways but it's a step in the right direction after the Ducks lost at home against the Colorado Avalanche and the Columbus Blue Jackets during that recent losing streak.
You can pick up our free pick tonight from the NHL pro hockey game between the Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Cancucks by calling Tony T's office line toll free at 800-579-4692.

Hugh William Williams (Scottish, 1773 - 1829)
H.W. Williams was a pupil of the artist David Allan, whose influence can be seen in the quality of his draughtsmanship. Williams was primarily a landscape painter. His friend and fellow artist, Joseph Mallord William Turner, both influenced and admired him. In 1817, Williams traveled to Italy and Greece where he painted the varied landscapes. A decade later, he published Select Views of Greece (1827-29), which earned him the nickname 'Grecian Williams'. He was closely involved in the plans to establish the Scottish Academy (now the Royal Scottish Academy) in Edinburgh in 1826. Williams was one of the few nineteenth century Scottish watercolour painters to find a market for his work in London.

[QUOTE=Dexy;1075863]After reading Fierce Hunter's post about Hagan Daaz I went out yesterday and bought a 500ml icecream tub and ate it all in secret. I don't even like icecream particularly. I hear suggestions about food and it goes into my head and I eat. Does this happen to anyone else? Other people's food habits seem to affect me and trigger me. Insane.
This morning, I had breakfast, my attempt to self-nurture after the icecream. Feeling very compulsive though.[/QUOTE]
God yes. I would make a great drug addict as I have a ridiculously high addictive personality. But I've been somewhat learning to negotiate with myself when it comes to food. If I'm craving like say ice cream I tell myself that I need to eat a regular meal and then if I still need ice cream then maybe I'll consider it. As to if thats a healthy alternative I don't know, but typically I find that I dont need it. But it still is very much a battle, what I wouldnt give to just be able to shut my head off.

AUBURN HILLS -- Before Friday night's matchup with Miami, I asked Detroit Pistons coach John Kuester what was the key to stopping the Heat.
"You're going to have your hands full with them no matter what," Kuester said. "But to me, they get those momentum plays out of transition. I think that's one of those things they use to deflate teams and deflate crowds - how they have the ability to just throw the ball up and have somebody just throw down a great transition bucket. So keeping them in a half-court situation will be important for us."
Kuester went on to explain how he expected to prevent the Heat from getting out in transition.
"We'll need to do some things efficiently offensively," Kuester said. "If you can get them to continually take the ball after made field goals, as opposed to misses and steals, that's going to be huge for us."
Simple enough - take care of the basketball and take good shots. The Pistons were coming into the game with the lowest turnover rate in the league, so Kuester's expectations were hardly unreasonable.
But on the opening possession, rookie Greg Monroe took a Tracy McGrady pass in the high post. He pivoted 360 degrees and started backing down his defender. After two dribbles, he spun toward the basket and looked as if he was going to lob an alley-oop pass to Tayshaun Prince on a backdoor cut.
Instead, the ball slipped from Monroe's hands and landed in the hands of LeBron James, who raced to mid-court and fired a laser to Dwyane Wade for the layup on the other end.
After one quarter of play, the Pistons had already racked up six turnovers, which the Heat turned into 10 points, eight on the fast break.
Despite Kuester's warning, Detroit did a poor job taking care of the ball all night.The Heat finished the game with a ridiculous 30 points on the break - more than double their season average - on their way to a big 106-92 win.
Heat points in the paint low for a reason
The Heat are second-to-last in the league in points scored in the paint, averaging less than 36 per night. Against Detroit, they exceeded that mark, but not by a significant margin, especially when you consider the 30 points scored on the fast break.
Armed with the knowledge that Miami takes the lowest percentage of shots within ten feet of the rim, and the highest percentage of jumpers between 16-23 feet, you could easily assume the Heat settle for jump shots instead of maximizing the dribble penetration skills of James and Wade.
In reality, the pair use dribble penetration to set up open jump shots for their teammates. In the win over the Pistons, the duo combined for 17 assists. More than half of those assists came on kick-out jump shots. Because both James and Wade are exceptional finishers, defenders must collapse to help, leaving Heat players open on the perimeter.
So, yes, Wade and James aren't attacking the basket any less, they're just not using it to only create offensive for themselves.
Daye fights to the end
Despite the game being all but decided to start the fourth quarter, Austin Daye continued to put forth a first-class effort.
Daye knocked down five of his seven shots in the final frame, and added a pair of free throws. on his way to a 15-point quarter. He finished the night with 18, making him the team's leading scorer.
It wasn't just on the offensive end where Daye showcased solid energy. He also put forth a strong effort on defense, including a several-minute stretch where he was responsible for guarding James.
You notice immediately that Daye has becoming more comfortable on the defensive end, learning how to better use his length to stay in front of and bother shooters in isolation. That includes stronger players like James and quick guards like Devin Harris and Tony Parker.
Where Daye struggled, mostly because of his lack of strength, was getting around a ball screens. When James was the recipient of a screen, he was able to get a healthy amount of separation from Daye - certainly enough to pull up for a jumper or find an open teammate.
Had the outcome of the game still been in question, James probably could have also used the space created from the screen to drive the lane and finish at the rim.

To the Editor:
New Jersey and the other states that were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy had to wait far too long for Congress to approve the federal aid that is so desperately needed. Our representatives in Washington didn't give up. They fought for the help that has always been provided in the wake of a natural disaster. And now it's on its way.
It's a lot of money, but I am sure every dollar is desperately needed. That is why I support the idea of Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver to have legislation for monitors to make sure none of the money is lost to fraud or spent the wrong way.
I'm sure the money will be used quickly because the need is so urgent, and that it will be hard for those doing the work to keep a good eye out for abuse. Monitors, with the skills and the authority needed to keep watch on how the money is spent, will be good for those who need the help. This will also be good for taxpayers who are willing to help out but don't want to see any dollars wasted.
I applaud Sweeney for his idea and I sure hope Gov. Chris Christie supports it as well. I know Christie doesn't always accept good ideas when they come from others, but monitors are a good idea that he should take seriously and accept.
Andrea Lombardi
Deptford Township
Editor's note: After this letter was written, Gov. Chris Christie announced an administrative plan for monitors. An Assembly version of the Sweeney-Oliver bill, A-61, was approved by a committee Feb. 7, but Christie has not said whether he'll sign it if it reaches his desk.

Tuesday, November 19, 2013
A handful of residents turned out for a public hearing presented by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). The hearing was presented at the request of citizens who wanted to know more about Williamsburg County's application for demonstration-of-need to expand the Williamsburg County Class Two Landfill located behind the closed Class 3 municipal waste landfill on Gapway Road in Salters. The Class Two C&D (Construction and Demolition Debris) Landfill is nearing capacity. The proposed expansion is for an increase in elevation only from the existing 82 feet to 102 feet. The Class Two landfill does not take in solid waste: rather it accepts waste the department determines as environmentally safe for Class Two landfills. The materials include land-clearing debris such as brush and limbs, rocks and vegetation. Other acceptable debris includes animal carcasses (conditional), PVC, tires and asbestos-containing material. Asbestos (friable and non-friable) is subject to regulation before it is accepted. Once accepted it is disposed in a designated area and covered immediately. The public hearing provided citizens an opportunity to comment on zoning, demonstration of need, consistency with the plans, and buffers for the proposed expansion. Nancy Cave, Coastal Conservation League, North Coast Director attended the hearing. Her questions included clarity on the timeframe when the landfill will reach capacity. "The reason I asked that is there is enormous capacity in the area around Williamsburg County," said Cave. "And Williamsburg County doesn't produce a whole lot of C&D. And I don't think they're going to start producing a whole lot of C&D. We haven't seen enormous growth in the area. So, how many years. What are we talking about?" DHEC Project Manager Justin Koon responded. "I don't know exactly how many years. I do know that two years ago they told us in 24 months they would be full." The facility's current tonnage limit is 4,370 tons per year. The maximum yearly disposal rate can be increased up to 54,370 tons per year. According to Koon, the county has not indicated anything near that amount; however, he said for the last two years they have exceeded their permitted tonnage by a very small amount (but within the 10 percent grace granted by DHEC). Koon cited a 2013 annual report showing 4,773 tons. The report will be published in March. Nesmith resident Tommy Stuckey asked if there is a record of out-of-state waste coming into the county. Koon said of the last three annual reports submitted by the county, none reflected the county accepting any out-of-state waste. Cave pointed to the department's push for a regional approach. "Instead of using this as an opportunity to expand an existing landfill, it's an opportunity to regionalize, it is an opportunity to recycle," said Cave. The problem, according to Julie Blalock, is cost. Blalock said transport cost is different for C&D waste than it is for municipal solid waste and the reason why many counties that closed their unlined landfill kept their C&D landfill open. "It is very costly to transport C&D material - really - any greater distance than 20 miles. It becomes, a lot of time, a hardship for the county." Citizens' comments will be considered before a final determination is made. This portion of the process is considered Phase One. Citizens on the department's mailing list will receive notice of the decision. The department's final decision may then be appealed within 15 days of notice. If Phase Once approved, the department will conduct a Phase Two that includes a public hearing. Additional information can be viewed online at SCDHEC.gov

The once popular and charismatic politician is submitting voter signatures to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to win a spot on the November ballot as an independent candidate.
Coyne was mayor of the city for 20 years before retiring at the end of 2001. His aspirations for higher office were derailed by alcohol problems. In 2004, he hit rock bottom when he violated probation by getting drunk on margaritas at a Mexican restaurant and blacking out nearly naked in a North Olmsted driveway. He went to jail and rehab.
Coyne, 63, says he deserved the criticism he received for his past behavior but he has "no more or no less flaws than others." He said he leads a more disciplined life now and only has a couple of beers when he drinks.
He said he hopes voters focus on his work as mayor, not as a drinker.
"I've got one more good fight in me," he said. "I ran a clean town. I have the experience to turn Brook Park around."
Coyne has been a consultant and lobbyist since leaving public office. He most recently represented Internet cafes, which are under fire from the state legislature.
Coyne tried to make a comeback before. In 2005, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor, challenging his incumbent Mark Elliott, who has been in office since 2002. He is not seeking re-election this year.
Coyne is largely credited with working with Cleveland on airport issues. He helped cut a deal between the blue-collar suburb and Cleveland that led to expansion of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and commercial redevelopment along Brookpark Road.

Update: these are out-of-stock. Amazon has reduced the price from $20 to $4 on a set of 6 of their Pinzon Ana Bordeaux Wine Glasses, by far the lowest price to-date. Shipping is free if you spend $25 and there is no sales tax to most states. These are large 22-ounce glasses meant for Bordeaux and other red wines. "Pinzon" is Amazon's private label kitchen and housewares line. Don't expect this price to stick around for very long.No longer available

Darlene: I first learned of CHF as a pediatric resident, working with Randy Christensen on his mobile unit dedicated to the homeless teens in Phoenix. My work on the Southern AZ project began this past summer in June.
C: What made you want to work for this type of organization?
Darlene: Since finishing my training 5 years ago, I have had a strong desire to work with the underserved in my community. I believe that by increasing a child's access to quality, preventive medical care, we can positively impact his/her future. Through Children's Health Fund, I now enjoy the supportive network of dedicated, compassionate health care providers who seek to accomplish that same goal. Working on the mobile medical clinic has allowed me to provide quality medical care for children who otherwise are limited to only emergent care.
C: What is your favorite part about working on the mobile clinic?
Darlene: Working with families with few resources and who face challenges on a daily basis can be difficult at times. Knowing that we can help, even if in a small way, gives me great satisfaction.
C: What's your favorite thing to do when not working?
Darlene: When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 sons, hiking, listening to or playing music, salsa dancing and traveling.
C: What are the biggest challenges children and families in your region are experiencing in accessing health care and how are you addressing them?
Darlene: One of the greatest challenges our families face is lack of insurance coverage. For many, it is due to cuts in state funding that have left a large portion of children (and adults) uninsured. For some mixed status families (children born in the US to parents who are not citizens), we have learned that they do not apply for Medicaid for their children out of fear. Fortunately, with our sliding fee, we do not have to turn any of these families away.
C: What are some unique programs or events that your program has to offer?
Darlene: Our mobile medical clinic is new to our community, and we have been focusing much of our efforts in trying to inform the community of what we can offer. Families are often surprised when they see that we have an electronic health record system, we can check their child's vision and hearing, give vaccines, perform blood draws and perform comprehensive medical exams. It also gives me great satisfaction to know that we are able to provide care for anyone, regardless of their ability to pay. In essence they can theoretically be our patient for their lifetime. That is precisely what a medical home is meant to be. We just happen to be a home on wheels!

Today is the 12th day of Christmas, which for many folks means it's time to haul the Christmas tree out to the curb and convey it to its fate as mulch or compost, a process most towns are happy to help with — provided you remember to remove all your lights and ornaments.
In Lambertville, for example, trees can be dropped off at the North Franklin Street end of Ely Field through Jan. 20. Residents who want to help Lambertville Public School, however, can ask the sixth-grade class to pick up their trees for a suggested donation of $5.
Pickup dates are Jan. 7, 8, 14 and 15, and can be scheduled by calling (609) 397-0093 or e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, phone number, address, pickup date and instructions on where the tree and donation will be. Donations will support the class trip to Washington, D.C.
In the Princetons, residents are asked to place trees by the side of the road, at any time in the borough, or on the night before the scheduled pickup days in the township.
"This week they went through both sides of town already. Almost every day we're out there," said Larry Churchwell of the borough public works department. He noted that trees should be "as clean as possible."
Residents may alternately drop off their tree at Britton Industries on Bakers Basin Road in Lawrence.
In Hightstown, trees may be left curbside on Wednesdays by appointment only, said
Donna Syx of the public works department. As elsewhere, residents are expected to strip the trees of decorations, ornaments, lights and tinsel.
"We just need the bare trees," she said.
Public works recycles the trees, and the woodchips are used in parks or made available to residents, Syx said.
In West Windsor, Christmas trees are picked up once a week through the end of the month and taken to Britton Industries.
"We handle them just like we handle our yard waste and leaves," public works director Alex Drummond said.
People wishing to drop off their trees should stop by the public works facility at 70 Southfield Road, he said. It's open weekdays 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon.
Robbinsville public works director Dino Colarocco said the township is continually picking up residents' trees for recycling into mulch — but warned that trees that are not stripped of ornaments and lights will be left behind.
"Residents may place their Christmas trees curbside and we will be making rounds daily throughout the township to collect them," he said.
Hamilton follows the same process as Robbinsville, taking the trees to be mulched. Hopewell Borough has no set pickup schedule but public works staff will go out picking up trees as often as three times a week, foreman Rick Smith said.
In Lawrence, tree removal takes place on regular monthly brush collection days, township manager Richard Krawczun said. Trees may also be dropped off at the compost site at 3701 Princeton Pike, contingent on availability of space.
In Trenton, trees are picked up the day after regular garbage collection days, acting public works director Harold Hall said.
East Windsor will collect trees from Jan. 9 to Jan. 13. The township did not return phone calls seeking details.
Officials in Hopewell Township could not be reached, but the town website lists brush pickup dates of Jan. 9 and 17. Pennington officials also could not be reached; the borough website indicates that Tuesday is brush chipping day.

VIENNA (AP) Austrian police have announced the breakup of an international gang dealing in phony health products and said insufficient postage provided the major lead.
British, Hungarian and Austrian police were involved in the sweep that culminated Monday in eight arrests, including the suspected head of the scam in Vienna, police said.
Searches netted more than $170,000 in cash and about 1 million fake pills, worth about more than $13 million.
They told reporters that investigations gathered steam in 2012 after a package was sent back from Austria to Spain due to insufficient postage, and the drugstore falsely listed as the sender went to police.
Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner calls the bust the greatest blow against the trade in counterfeit medicines Europe-wide.

Berryman qualified
I would like to endorse Judy Berryman for Altoona Area School Board.
I have known Berryman for 15 years. She is a hardworking and honest individual who would bring these virtues to the Altoona Area School Board.
The Altoona Area School District is facing new challenges. Several area schools have closed. Teachers, taxpayers, parents and students have to deal with the fallout.
I believe Berryman could help to make the transition smoother. She would look out for the taxpayer by being fiscally conservative, but she would never compromise the educational needs of the Altoona student.
In closing, I believe we need problem solvers to lead our school board and our community forward. Judy Berryman is qualified to do both.

MUSKEGON, MI. – Steve Czerwon knows all about the football tradition at Muskegon Catholic Central.
Czerwon played quarterback under Mike Holmes in the 1990s and has been a part of MCC's coaching staff the past nine seasons.
Now he is taking the reins of the program from Holmes and accepts the challenge to keep it going as the Crusaders' next varsity football coach.
The decision was made Monday for Czerwon to replace Holmes, who retired after last season, capping a run of 25 years as head coach that included six state championships.
"The things that we've done for so many years, we want to keep in place," said Czerwon, a 1995 graduate of MCC. "Football is an identifiable part of the Catholic Central community and needs to stay that way."
Czerwon, 35, was MCC's starting quarterback from 1992-1994 and worked his way up the coaching ladder at MCC. He started out as a junior high coach, moved up to junior varsity and was a varsity assistant last season, working with the offense.
He also served another season on the varsity coaching staff when MCC did not field a junior varsity team because of low numbers.
Now, Czerwon gets his turn at the top spot.
"It's something I've thought about for a while," he said. "I prepared for the next step and this is the next step for me. The fact the next step is at Muskegon Catholic is why I wanted the job."
Czerwon said longtime varsity assistants Mike Ribecky and Scott Fodrocy and junior varsity coach Chris Martinez have agreed to stay on.
"That was part of me taking the job. Some people walk into a new situation," he said. "They're already really behind preserving the continuity. Everybody wanted that continuity to continue."
Czerwon said he plans to follow the same hard-nosed style he learned under Holmes as a player and a coach.
"Mike established himself as one of the finest coaches in West Michigan," Czerwon said. "I was very fortunate to learn from him. Yes, big shoes to fill, but I was fortunate to work for him and learn those ideas."
Holmes feels Czerwon is ready to take charge.
"I believe so. He's certainly put in the time. He's very devoted to Catholic Central and working there as a teacher will be a plus," Holmes said.
MCC has the makings of another strong team next season. The Crusaders lose only eight seniors off a squad that went 9-4 and knocked off No. 1 Mendon in a run to the Division 8 state semifinals in 2012.
"He's coached at every level, so he's got the background in the program and knows what we've been doing," Holmes said of Czerwon. "He plans to continue that and I'm sure he'll put his own twist on it as he develops in his coaching career."
Muskegon Catholic Central athletic director Erich Adams said Czerwon was selected out of nine candidates that were considered.
"He demonstrated by far the most knowledge how the program has been operating for the past 40 years," Adams said. "If any of our coaches would have gone to other schools, the first thing they would be asked would be to implement the things from Muskegon Catholic. So there's not a need to change anything here.
"He has the best knowledge of how our system operates and we have faith he can continue the tradition that we've had," Adams said of Czerwon.
Adams said the first round of interviews were conducted Friday and the final interviews Monday morning. He told Czerwon by noon Monday.
"He was thrilled. He accepted right away and said, 'Let's get to work,'" Adams said. "This is a position he's aspired to for a number of years. I know he has turned down other jobs at bigger schools, but that didn't play into the decision at all. His heart is here. His heart bleeds green and gold. I hope he's someone that's here for many years to come."
Czerwon played quarterback and wide receiver at Saginaw Valley State University from 1995-1998 and got his start in coaching for two seasons under Dusty Fairfield at Ravenna. He returned to MCC as a high school social studies teacher and has had a variety of coaching roles besides football.
He plans to continue in his current role as the varsity head coach for boys and girls track.
Czerwon and his wife, Andrea Mathews, have a daughter, Madalynn, 9.

It looks like Jessica Simpson will be having a very big baby coming in anywhere from eight pounds to fifteen pounds (that's Ellen DeGeneres' guess), but it looks like it will be around ten pounds. If so, that means she will join a very elite list, the list of celebrity moms who have given birth to above average sized babies.
The average is about eight pounds but these ten celebrities? They gave birth to babies from 8 pounds, 9 ounces to 10 pounds, 3 ounces. Check out which celebrities gave birth big babies from Gwyneth Paltrow to Miranda Kerr!
Kate Winslet – A 8 lb., 9 oz. Baby 1 of 10Kate's daughter Mia Honey Threapleton was born in and weighted in at 8 pounds, 9 ounces. Her son Joe Alfie Winslet Mendes was smaller being born at 7 pounds, and 13 ounces.
John Travolta and Kelly Preston – A 9 lb. Baby 2 of 10Their daughter Ella Bleu was born at nine pounds, their most recent addition — Benjamin — came in at about eight pounds.
Camryn Manheim – A 9 lb., 2 oz. Baby 3 of 10After a 15 hour long delivery actress Camryn Manheim gave birth to a 9 lb., 2 oz. baby and reportedly said, "'I can't believe how easy this was!' "
Maria Shriver – A 9 lb., 8 oz. Baby 4 of 10Maria Shriver's son Patrick was born at over 9 pounds. But with a big man like Arnold Schwarzenegger as the dad, of course the baby would be a good size!
Gwyneth Paltrow – A 9 lb., 11 oz. Baby 5 of 10Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple - her daughter not her afternoon snack - came in at 9 lb, 11 oz.
Jane Leeves – A 9 lb., 12 oz. Baby 6 of 10The Frasier and Hot in Cleveland star had a daughter who weighed 9 lbs and 12 oz at birth.
Miranda Kerr – A 9lb., 14 oz. Baby 7 of 10She's so thin and slim, and lost all the baby weight after her son was born so quickly...so it's shocking to think she had a baby that was almost ten pounds!
Meg Ryan – A 10 lb. Baby 8 of 10Meg Ryan told People magazine about filming Courage Under Fire (a Gulf War drama) that, "The male actors were talking about their war wounds -- one broke his arm on the set, another hurt his leg -- and I'm like, 'I had a 10-pound baby a few years ago,' which shut everyone up." Her son, Jack Henry, was delivered by C-section in 1992.
Sean Young – A 10 lb., 3 oz. Baby 9 of 10Her son Quinn was born in 1998 and weighed a whopping 10 lbs. 3 oz.
Jane Kaczmarek – 10 lb., 3 oz. Baby 10 of 10Tied for first place place is Malcolm in the Middle star Jane Kaczmarek.

I tell this story every year. It's a tradition for my birthday, which is June 15. And it has the horrible benefit of actually being true.
On June 15 of an undisclosed year, I turned 21 years old. Until that date, I had never had a single sip of alcohol (this seems crazy to me now, but Rice is not a party school and well, I was always a little bit of a goody two shoes.) Because it was my twenty-first birthday, my boyfriend promised a nice evening out with friends and because it was the first birthday I could legally drink, drinks would be had. The boyfriend promised he would take care of everything. All I had to do was show up, look pretty, and have a great evening.
After work, I drove to the salon where I got fabulized, did a quick round of shopping at the Galleria, and hurried home to get dressed. I had bought a short black dress with fringe on the hem, and new strappy black heels for the occasion. I looked pistol hot and was ready for fun. At 7pm, the boyfriend hadn't shown up or called so I called him.
"I need ten more minutes," he said.
I always tried to be a good girlfriend, so my instinct was to say no problem and chill out. I reapplied lipstick and fluffed my hair. By 7:30, there was still not a peep. I called him again. "Hey, what's up? It's my night, come on!"
"I'm still working," he said. "I just need a few more minutes."
I took a deep breath to cool my jets. It was still early. But I didn't know what time reservations were, or what time my friends had been told to meet. It might be a situation where I could show up and go on with her celebration and wait for the boyfriend to show up. When I called him – again – at 9pm, he said he had forgotten to invite anyone. "So don't worry about that." But, he would be out of there soon. And he promised, he would call a few of them on the way home and they could still have the great evening. By this time, I was upset. It was my birthday. All my birthdays sucked, why did he have to make this one suck too? And he had forgotten to invite anyone? This was just bad; he had obviously forgotten or didn't care that it was my birthday, and now that he knew, he wasn't going to change his course. I was ticked, but still trying to salvage the situation.
Hours passed. By 11pm, I had succumbed to the birthday sobs. I called him nearly hysterical. "I only have an hour left of my birthday. Are you coming?"
"I can't leave yet."
At that moment, I felt utterly ridiculous in my fancy dress and expensive black strappy heels. I felt like it was symbolic of my whole life: that I was always waiting for things that would never come. For the party that would never happen. "What the fuck? Why can't you just take me out to dinner, like you promised?" I hated the whine in my voice, but I also hated the fact that he could not be relied upon to even pretend he cared about my birthday.
"We're still working."
I hung up. I stood very still, hurting with rejection, trying to decide what to do. It was supposed to be a special birthday. Other people had nice birthdays, why couldn't I? Why was it so goddamn much to ask that my goddamn boyfriend take me out to dinner on her goddamn twenty-first birthday? This was bullshit. That's what this was. Bull. Shit. No fucking way.
Without considering the consequences or considering anything other than the fact that it was my birthday and goddamn it, that had to mean something, I jumped in the Porsche and screamed at 90 miles per hour up Memorial Drive to the Enron building, and into the Allen Center Garage. I spotted his car and parked beside it. I swiped my card and went up to the floor where I knew he was working.
There, surrounded by about fifteen other people, was the asshole boyfriend, deeply engaged in work.
I stood in the doorway, in my black fringe dress and strappy black heels, trembling with fury, a magenta shade of Pissed Off. The others looked up. He looked up when he realized the room had hushed. Energy shivered in the air, like the last three seconds before a bomb detonates in a very confined area.
"It's my birthday," I said, struggling to keep my voice level. I was looking at the asshole boyfriend, but everyone felt addressed. "Are you going to do anything?"
The asshole boyfriend did not know what to do. Pacify the crazy girlfriend – who actually had a legitimate claim on his time, since it was my birthday, or continue working? The others in the room had gone dead silent, staring at each other in embarrassed pain, trying to figure out just what the hell was happening.
The jerk boyfriend stood up and grabbed my upper arm like you'd grab the arm of a temper-tantrum throwing three year old, lifting me up to my tiptoes as he pulled me into the corridor. "Go home," he growled. His rage was barely contained; the glitter in his eyes was like liquid death.
I burst into tears. "It's my birthday."
He walked back into the room.
I left the building and sat in her car and wept. It was now after midnight. My whole birthday had gone without any notice at all. Nobody cared. It was obvious to me now that I would not stay with him. If he'd only said he was working on something and couldn't come home, I'd have gone out with my girlfriends and never given it another thought. But the fact that he specifically told me to let him handle it ensured that I didn't even have that choice. Everything felt ruined: my birthday and the fact that the scales had been removed from my eyes about the asshole boyfriend.
I drove to a liquor store and bought, at random, some rum. "What do people drink with this?" I asked the clerk.
"Coke," he said, so I bought a Coke.
At home, I mixed the coke and the rum. It smelled sweet, like something you'd have at a carnival. I took my first sip of alcohol. It was sweet and rich and golden. Barely tasted the alcohol at all.
I was trippin-balls drunk before the first one was finished. After the second one, I fell asleep on the sofa, still in my fringe dress and strappy sandals.
When the asshole boyfriend came home, he didn't wake me. When he left in the morning, he didn't wake me. I finally stirred around noon when somebody rang the doorbell.
I stumbled to the door to see a flower delivery person. He handed me two dozen long-stem red beauty roses. The card said, "Happy Birthday, from the team at Enron."
They were the only ones who had acted with any grace and kindness – and I'm including myself in that statement. That was my only present or acknowledgement that year, and it was priceless. I left the boyfriend, but I still have the card somewhere.

The holiday season hasn't provided a holiday from politics as partisan battles continue in Washington over the so-called fiscal cliff -- the predicament the country will face if tax cuts expire and deep spending reductions are allowed to take effect.
As Republicans and Democrats argue about their tax-and-spending priorities, Americans are hearing a lot about "entitlements" -- programs that primarily benefit retirees. Some say the government can't sustain those programs, and reforming them has to be part of the solution to the country's financial mess.
But are those programs really that bad off, and if so, why? The Plain Dealer looked at the current and projected state of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to address that question.
Monday's story examined Social Security. Tuesday's looks at Medicare, and Wednesday's deals with Medicaid.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Payroll taxes don't just cover Social Security.
They also help pay for senior citizens' hospital expenses through Medicare, the program created in 1965 to spread the cost so retirees and people with disabilities don't go bankrupt paying their medical bills.
Two trends -- health costs whose rise outpaces the growth of the economy, and the coming wave of baby boom retirees -- create a potential problem here. Baby boomer retirements are driving up enrollment by about 3 percent a year, says the Urban Institute, a Washington think tank.
That's why lawmakers of both parties say Medicare, which spent $549 billion in 2011, should be dealt with.
Is the problem urgent?
Medicare's hospital insurance trust fund, which works like the Social Security trust fund, will be out of money by 2024, trustees report. The date would have been sooner, 2016, but for Medicare savings in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
The tipping point could be earlier, depending on uncertainties in economic projections. For one thing, the savings projected in the Affordable Care Act, while plausible, "will depend on the achievement of unprecedented improvements in health care provider productivity," according to the 2012 annual report from Medicare's trustees. In fact, the health care bill was initially projected to add 12 years to Medicare solvency, but that projection was scaled back to eight by Medicare trustees.
For another, doctors are due for a nearly 30 percent cut in Medicare fees in January under existing budget-cutting laws. Physicians say that will make it tough for them to treat Medicare patients. If Congress blocks the physician pay cuts -- as it has done every year since 2003 -- the additional spending will add to Medicare's financial strain.
But before you say this is very bad medicine, consider what FactCheck.org noted in August:
"That's nothing new. In 1980, insolvency was expected in 1994. In 1990, the exhaustion date was 2003. But those dates have been pushed back mainly by repeated tax increases."
Current solvency proposals include pushing back the age for Medicare eligibility to 67 or making wealthier Medicare beneficiaries pay higher premiums or have higher deductibles.
Retire at Your Own Risk
In 2006 The Plain Dealer series "Retire At Your Own Risk" discussed in detail the changes in Social Security and the anticipated rise in healthcare costs.
- July 9, 2006: Changes ahead for Social Security
- July 23, 2006: Baby boomers to face higher health cost
- Aug. 6, 2006: Promises to the elderly could drain other federal programs
Medicare is considered a highly efficient program, cost-wise, spending less per-patient than private insurance plans, according to data from the Congressional Budget Office and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as well as analysts at the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation and the journal Health Affairs.
Democrats such as U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio point this out when critics contend that the private sector would do a better job holding down costs. But even this is in dispute, with the insurance industry saying the savings mask the cost borne by private administrators handling Medicare claims, the government's cost of collecting taxes and what they claim is better patient value for the additional private-sector dollars.
Medicare is a pay-as-you-go program, so it won't ever be completely broke. Workers will still be providing payroll taxes even when the trust fund redeems its last Treasury bond. If nothing else were to change, this would provide enough money to cover 87 percent of seniors' hospitalization costs (after deductibles) in 2024, according to Medicare and congressional projections. The share would drop to 67 percent in 2045 -- not that anyone wants that to happen.
The hospitalization part of Medicare is known as Medicare Part A, and it also covers skilled nursing facilities, home health and hospice care. Part B pays for doctor's services, and Part D for prescription drugs. Medicare also has a Part C, called Medicare Advantage, which operates like private insurance and is in many ways a hybrid of A and B.
Seventy-six percent of the money for B and D comes from general tax revenue, and the rest from monthly premiums that retirees pay. Rising health costs require both sides, the government and the retirees, to pay more. Since the government is in debt already, it must borrow more money or cut something else each time health costs rise.
That is the real threat. Look at it this way: Medicare spending is now equivalent to 3.7 percent of the American economy, and is projected to grow to 6.7 percent by 2026. But that's assuming certain cuts and savings. If health spending is not restrained, Medicare spending alone could represent 10.4 percent of the nation's economy in 75 years, the trustees warn.
"Growth of this magnitude, if realized, would substantially increase the strain on the nation's workers, the economy, Medicare beneficiaries, and the federal budget," they said in their 2012 annual report.
Even if the current projections of holding down costs come true, the prospects for expansion are almost certain.
"So if you add that 3 percent a year in enrollment growth to another 3 to 4 percent in spending growth per enrollee, you get a budget problem," the Urban Institute explained on its website last week.

Thursday's story about social conservatives' bus tour in support of Rick Santorum's presidential campaign and its stop in Muskegon sparked a debate about the abortion issue. Some disputed the pro-life, anti-abortion message being promoted by the group's representatives on the bus, while others claim abortions will eventually become illegal.
Commenter CHARLIE MULE considers abortion a non-issue in the race:
OMG...what a waste...abortions are here and will always be....the only thing they are doing is wasting bus fuel. PERIOD.
Commenter politician believes the current administration is protecting women's rights:
Women have the right to self defense and the 2nd Amendment is there to protect women's health clinics at the doorway to save women's lives. Full health care is a woman's right, period, no matter what male Republican pigs say! Thank God for President Obama and the Affordable Health Care Act to protect American women. President Obama is the true American Christian.
Commenter Kevin Rahe argues that abortion is wrong:
Abortion takes the life of a complete, distinct, living, unconditionally viable and fully human being - just like YOU.
Commenter dunewalker considers the abortion debate to be a life-and-death matter:
The hate continues....... lives saved vs. convenience protected....... there will be, in the end, only one side in the "win column".

text: Postfix DSN support implementation notes ======================================== In delivery status reports, Postfix now properly reports remote LMTP/SMTP server replies with Diagnostic-Type: SMTP, with the Diagnostic-Code: equal to the server reply, and with Remote-MTA: equal to the name of the remote MTA. Of course Postfix still produces the same "informal" error descriptions that it produced before (for example, the error text that appears in the first section of a bounce report). Other error reports are not in the form of SMTP-style replies. - The Postfix LMTP/SMTP client generates Diagnostic-Type: X-Postfix for locally generated errors (host not found, connection timed out etc.). It generates Diagnostic-Type: SMTP only for replies from an SMTP server. - The queue manager generates Diagnostic-Type: X-Postfix for errors that it detects. It also receives error information from delivery agents and reports that information unmodified when it decides to "temporarily suspend" a delivery channel. - The "pipe to command" code in local(8) and pipe(8) produces Diagnostic-Type: X-UNIX, and Diagnostic-Code: text that is taken from /usr/include/sysexits.h or from the command output. - The code that delivers to mailbox produces Diagnostic-Type: X-Postfix and Diagnostic-Code: text that is the same good old Postfix error message that we are already familiar with. Typically these are errno-style reports about locking a file or appending a file.

STATEN ISLAND, NY. -- NEW DORP-- The high-ceilinged, immaculately maintained wine and liquor "supermarket" in the shopping center at 2626 Hylan Blvd. is the largest space of its kind on Staten Island, with almost 6,000 square feet, and its prices are the reason to never again to travel to New Jersey in search of lower-cost bottles, owner Navin Kumar Patel claimed on July 31.
Occupying the site of the former Aida's World of Liquor, the store's name is its address on the Internet: bestwineinny.com.
"Many Staten Islanders have a tendency to think that New Jersey is cheaper, but this is not the case," said Patel. "Our prices are mostly way below anything in New Jersey and Connecticut (and other parts of New York), and even less expensive than big retailers like Costco in New Jersey. People are so happy when they realize this."
The shop's vast wine selection — almost 4,000 different varieties—is "21 percent off the retail industry standard," according to Patel, with the price of each bottle clearly labeled on the shelves. "The price point is the key."
"We're also selling all liquors at low prices," he added. How does he compete, price-wise?
"We buy the maximum quantity from the big distributors, at the same price that a Costco pays them," he explained.
After purchasing Aida's last year, Patel opened for business in July 2012, and began a phased renovation of what he described as a dark, unappealing space.
"It was so old-looking, and I wanted a brand-new, modern look and image," said Patel, 43, who was born in Gujarat state in western India. He is a chemical engineer by education and training, and a Hindu.
He began renovating the space, section by section, while serving customers and building up an impressive inventory that now features almost 4,000 wines, another 75 champagnes and sparkling wines, and 600 varieties of hard liquors.
The end result is spacious and immaculate, with 92-foot-long aisles, and locations of each type of wine and liquor marked with signage. Patel proudly pointed out the "custom-made gondolas," the white metal shelving that displays the inventory.
Most of the shop's customers are wine drinkers. "Sixty to 65 percent of my sales are wine, champagne, and sparkling wine," said Patel, noting that top sellers are red cabernets and white pinot grigios from California producers. "American companies make good wine, especially from California." Given the large number of bottles on the shelves, "I keep the room at a constant 69-degree temperature," he added.
Why does he stock such a huge number of wines?
"I don't want to miss a customer," Patel responded. "And we can get any wine in the world, on special order, within 48 hours."
Patel launched the online component of his business in June, and already has received orders from customers as far away as California and Arizona. "They found me on Google, and I'm getting repeat orders," he said.
If you are curious about how the other half lives, check out the shop's locked, glass-shelved, mirrored cabinet to the right of the checkout counter.
Extravagantly priced bottles for sale include Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac, sold with a red case, priced at $2,339.99.
Hennessy Paradis Imperial Cognac is also display, pricetag $2,199.99. "There are only three bottles of this left in the U.S., and we have one of them," Patel said.
A 25-year-old Macallan malt Scotch will cost you $749.99.
"We get lots of large orders from Wall Street companies," Patel commented.
Other prized possessions include several bottles of famed Bordeaux reds from France, including 1994 Chateau Haut-Brion ($379.98 a bottle) and the winery's 1996 vintage ($490.58 a bottle.)
New customers arrive at the shop through word of mouth recommendations, but Patel believes that its longer hours are another attraction.
Monday through Thursday, the shop is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. On Friday and Saturday, the doors close at 11 p.m. On Sunday, the hours are 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The store offers free delivery anywhere on Staten Island for orders of $125 and up. Free tastings happen every Friday and Saturday, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

text: I have a Yugo M48 that has a dark bore, rest of the rifle looks pretty nice though. I have'nt shot it yet, so I don't really know the accuracy of it. What exactly causes a bore to turn dark, and does it mean the barrel will have to be replaced before it can become a decent shooter? Is it possible to clean/brighten the bore with solvents or it a hopeless cause? As always...thanks in adavance.

Oh dear. It looks like the media is really running with the story that Suri Cruise is becoming a fashion designer because now we're hearing that parents and classmates from her school are apparently pitching her fashion designs. The poor girl just can't get a break! Here's what we're reading:
According to the National Enquirer tabloid, her classmates at a private school in New York are "inundating" Cruise "with design ideas."
"Even some of the parents have gotten into the act," says an "insider" for the magazine, adding, "They've given their kids little scraps of paper with pictures of outfits they've put together.
Are there really a lot of 7-year-olds out there that are aspiring designers already? I don't know. Something smells really fishy with this story. Tell us, do you think this is fact… or fiction?

Our colleagues at Cleveland.com are rolling out a three-part series this week on how Ohio State can get back to a BCS national championship. It's called "Breaking Bama," which makes sense, considering the Tide is the reigning two-time champion and winner of three of the last four.
It could be just as easily titled "Breaking the SEC." This isn't just an Alabama thing, it's a regional thing, considering the league has won seven straight national titles
Of the 10 states that produce the most NFL players per capita, seven are in the SEC footprint, including the top six states.
Combine that fact with the money available through TV deals -- the SEC Network will increase revenues even more -- and it's clear there's just too much talent and too much monetary incentive for the rest of college football to keep up with a fully functioning SEC.
The key phrase here is "fully functioning."
The truth of the matter is that phrase is hardly a given, even with the SEC members' motivation to take advantage of the edge they've been given.
For the past few years, however, the league has clicked on all cylinders better than it has at any previous point in its history.
When you look at the states that produce the most players, the primary programs in those hotbed states -- Alabama, Florida LSU, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas A&M -- seem to be rolling along with coaches who either are iconic (like a Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier or Les Miles), highly respected (Mark Richt) or on the rise (Kevin Sumlin or -- and this is the most arguable name on this list -- Will Muschamp).
If those six programs are all recruiting their bases well (they are), getting their teams coached well (they are) and staying out of trouble (so far, mostly so good), the SEC might be an impossible nut to crack until the deep south stops being the most fertile player producing region in the country.
But If you are a fan from a league other than the SEC, don't feel doomed to second-tier status. Having those six programs all on solid footing at the same time is lightning in a bottle. Truth is, through the SEC's history, the programs with the most access to resources (i.e., players) have NEVER all been clicking on all cylinders at the same time the way they have the last few years.
And these programs won't ALL stay at a peak.
Why not?
Let's peruse some headlines, all from this calender year:
Part of the curse of being in the states with the most future NFL players is you end up with more players ready to leave early to start playing for pay. That dooms you to be a younger team than the mainstream of the sport.
In basketball, we've seen a more exaggerated version of this phenomenon. While Kentucky has largely proven to be the noted exception, the one-and-done trend has opened the door for programs with perhaps a tad less talent, but with more experienced rosters, to compete at the highest level the hoops' post-season.
If the college hoops world were filled with teams like the 1980s North Carolina teams (with James Worthy, Kenny Smith and Brad Daugherty playing four years and Michael Jordan for three) or the 1990s Duke teams (Grant Hill, Christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley, all for four-year stars), there would probably not be an opportunity for a Butler, a Virginia Commonwealth or a George Mason to make a Final Four.
Don't expect early NFL entries to result in Bowling Green winning a national title. But do expect the most talented programs in the SEC -- not just LSU -- to have increasingly younger rosters. That can level the playing field with teams from strong programs in other conferences that have fewer NFL prospects, but more fourth-and-fifth year players.
And while the violation by HaHa Clinton-Dix may be minor, it is an example of a growing (or, should I just say "continuing") problem in the SEC. When you have more players who are headed for pro careers than everybody else, you'll inevitably have more opportunities for those who wish to exploit that talent to surface.
That could mean agent contact. It could mean overzealous boosters or entrepreneurs looking to exploit celebrities on the rise. The Johnny Manziel case is a perfect example of the latter scenario.
Call me cynical, but it's just a matter of time before this ends up being a major problem, as in a major NCAA rules violation, for one of the SEC's power programs. That likely won't be the case with either Clinton-Dix or Manziel, but it seems inevitable.
"Clowney absence surprises Spurrier:" In a league full of future pros, it's inevitable that it will have more than its share of players who are playing for their draft stock more than they are playing for their team.
And while it would be unfair and not necessarily accurate to accuse South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney of this in regards to last weekend's refusal to play against Kentucky because of a rib injury, it's not hard to imagine this issue becoming a problem.
If you have a lot of draft prospects, you may end up with some looking toward April more than October and November. It's human nature and when it surfaces, it could become a team chemistry issue.
Add up those three factors -- all perfectly reasonable scenarios in the context of where the SEC sits right now -- and you'll see a formula for college football's power brokers to be taken down a notch.
Go through those and you'll notice one constant: All the potential threats to the SEC are internal.
When you are the league with the players, the money and the passionate following, that's really the only thing that can stop you.

KINNELON--Police are asking residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity after a recent string of burglaries in the Maple Lake Area.
Between Oct. 20 and Oct. 27, two residences on Kiel Avenue and one residence on Maple Lake Road were burglarized. Police believe the three incidents are all the work of same individual or group of individuals who are burglarizing homes in the morning and afternoon hours.
On Oct. 20, police received a call from a Maple Lake Road resident who reported jewelry and $300 in cash missing from her home. On Tuesday, police received a call from a Kiel Avenue resident who said that somebody had entered his detached garage and removed a leaf blower and chain saw. The next day, police responded to a Kiel Avenue residence after the homeowner reported that somebody broke a window and stole jewelry and cash from the home.
Police are asking people to use common sense when locking up their homes.
"If you have an alarm, arm it," said Lt. John Schwartz. "If you see anything that is out of the ordinary, call police." Anyone with information is asked to call police at (973) 838-5400.

Datsyuk has won the award, presented to the NHL's top defensive forward, the past three seasons. Hall of Famer Bob Gainey of the Montreal Canadiens is the only player who has won it four years in a row (1977-78 to 1980-81, the first four years the award was presented).
Datsyuk played in only 56 games. He ranked 11th in the league with 71 takeaways, was tied for second on the Red Wings with a plus-11 rating and was the club's top faceoff man, winning 54.6 percent of his draws.
The star center has tough competition, particularly from Vancouver's Ryan Kesler, a finalist for the third consecutive year. Chicago's Jonathan Toews is the other finalist.
"I think (Datsyuk) would win it, hands down, if he played all the games," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "I'm not taking anything away from Kesler and Toews. They're phenomenal players.
"I think Pavel's one of the best players in the world. It'll be fun to see who wins."
The winner will be revealed June 22 at the NHL Awards Show in Las Vegas.
"I'm very happy. Now I try to win," Datsyuk said. "It's not easy. I have good competition. Always every year it's harder and harder.
"My teammates helped me. It's not only me."
Nobody appreciates Datsyuk's determined play without the puck more than his goaltender, Jimmy Howard.
"He is so good with his stick, taking away the puck from opposing players," Howard said. "Just when you think you might have him beat he reaches out and extends his stick and he's gone the other way. Some of the stuff he does you're just in pure amazement."
Datsyuk has mastered the ability to sneak up on opponents and swipe the puck.
"That's where it usually starts, where he gets most of his offensive chances from," teammate Johan Franzen said. "He has great speed and is so strong on the puck. He's a smart player. He's tough to play against at both ends."
Kesler, a speedy center from Livonia who scored 41 goals, helped the Canucks record the lowest goals-against average in the NHL (2.20). He is a strong penalty killer and faceoff man who plays physical and blocks shots.
"Every year he play better and better. This season he was unbelievable," Datsyuk said. "It's harder to win the Selke Trophy every year, but I'm happy I'm nominated."
Franzen coming back
The Red Wings will have eight days off between games when they start their Western Conference semifinal playoff series against San Jose on Friday.
That is their longest break since 1999, when they had nine days between games following their first-round sweep of Anaheim. They lost to Colorado in the next round, winning the first two games before dropping four in a row.
"There's always a fine line in how much rest we want," Babcock said. "We've all been antsy, we watched more hockey. It's been fun that way.
"In saying that, we needed the time to get our guys healthy. You might have a little rust early. We'll take that over getting beat up over the last while."
The rest will benefit Franzen, who got in his first full practice Wednesday since he injured his left ankle in Game 2 vs. Phoenix. He said he'll be ready for Game 1.
"It (long break) definitely helps," Franzen said. "It might be almost too long, but it's definitely a lot better than starting to play right away after a seven-game series."
Said Babcock: "It's going to take him a little bit to get up to pace, but I think by the time he's done practicing (Thursday) he'll be ready to go."

BALDWIN COUNTY, Alabama -- Efforts by south Baldwin County economic development officials to market an industrial megasite and rebuild the area after the BP oil spill have resulted in the county being named in two Top 10 lists in Southern Business and Development Magazine.
The Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance announced Monday that the McCallum Sweeney Consulting-certified megasite is one of 10 Southern sites most likely to land the next "Big Kahuna."
Located 45 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, the site is unusually large and has easy access to rail and water transport, as well as jobs training, the magazine said.
"Many of today's mega-size manufacturing projects require megasites of 1,000 or more acres," it said. "Certified megasites, with all due diligence complete, are rare."
The south Baldwin site boasts over 3,000 acres. It was originally considered by startup Chinese company HK Motors, but the company could not secure financing to build its green-energy powered cars.
Today, the site's getting more interest than ever, according to Robert Ingram, the alliance president and CEO. A website created for it a little over a half a year ago has generated a lot of interest from both consultants and potential clients, he said.
"We feel like all the hard marketing work we've done is starting to pay off," he said.
Officials have shown the property five times in the past six months, where last year "we were lucky if we were showing it once" in that same amount of time.
Interested parties are a mix of consultants and domestic and international companies, he said.
South Baldwin was also featured in the article, "Ten real comeback kids in the South," for its successful efforts at overcoming adversity, most recently after the Gulf oil spill.
The magazine noted that a "war room" led by alliance Vice President Bob Higgins and including area mayors, helped a $2.3 billion tourism industry bounce back to its highest level ever after the spill.
Ingram said that effort is ongoing, now under the Coastal Resiliency Coalition moniker, and has received federal grant money that it has used to launch such entities as a Business Support Center.

Canoe Camp sewer plant plans review set
MANSFIELD – Richmond Township supervisors heard about the latest developments in Ed Trask's plans to construct a housing development on property south of the borough near Wal-Mart at their meeting Tuesday.
Township Secretary Deb Kotulka said she had received a call from RETTEW concerning the developments planned sewage treatment plant, necessary because the borough's sewage treatment plant is at or near capacity and denied Trask's request to hook his development in.
"They will be submitting their plans to the planning commission at their April 23 meeting, and engineer Scott Bray thinks it needs to be carefully reviewed with township Solicitor Jeff Loomis," Kotulka added.
David Flesch, who serves on the township planning commission, said the planning module is "more complex than usual."
Trask's trailer park on South Main Street, just up from the site of the proposed housing development is currently hooked up to borough sewer system, "but he could disconnect from that and hook up to his own," Flesch added.
The proposed location of the plant will be along Westgate Road between the Wise property and Martha Lloyd group home, according to Flesch.
In other business, supervisors voted two to one to purchase a new 2014 Dodge Ram 5500 4WD regular cab dump truck $79,082 from Hondru Fleet in Manheim, with delivery in no later than six months.
Supervisor Trish Hall was the lone vote against, saying she would rather shop around for a good used truck.
Supervisors made the decision contingent on their receipt of $253,000 in Act 13 impact fee money expected in July.
Supervisors also:
Designated spring cleanup days as May 3 and 10, with Keystone Mobile shredding from 9-11 a.m. May 3, free for township residents.

Diner 248 kicked off the 2011 Wing Showdown, and the wing fans were out in full force. Rick and Betty Conard drive from Walnutport to Diner 248 for Wing Wednesdays.
"The sauces are great. I like the crispness," Rick Conard says, justifying the 60-mile ride.
The judges also got to meet one of the couples who nominated Diner 248 to be in the Wing Showdown in the first place -- John and Nancy Stover, of Easton.
"They're really meaty, very juicy -- not dry," John Stover says.
John Gougoustamos and sons Stavros and John Jr. opened Diner 248 in 2009. John Jr. says it's the fresh peppers that give their sauces that kick. But they're whipping up batches of homemade creamy, chunky blue cheese to cut the heat. Each judge got to sample the hot buffalo, and Peach Habanero BBQ wings for the showdown.
Wing King -- Joseph P. Owens
Specialty: The official specialty of Peach Habanero BBQ would not typically be my choice of sauces, but I was very impressed with the flavorful combination. A peachy sweetness followed up by a swift, peppery kick. I found this choice to be a pleasant surprise. The owners wanted us to also (unofficially) try another selection, Hot n' Honey. It wasn't as flavorful as I would have expected, but I can understand why it's popular with the masses. It's not overpowering.
Extras: The house-made blue cheese was really, really good, which is a critical side dish. This place always does a good business but is especially busy on Wednesday wing night. The parking lot sometimes gets full, but that says something about the popularity. We were happy to meet several people who said they showed up to be a part of the Showdown.
Wing Nut -- Kelly Huth
Standard: The buffalo wings (Hot to be specific) had a decent crunch to them. Co-owner John Gougoustamos Jr. says their wings get an extra dose of TLC. They're brought in fresh every week, rinsed and dried before getting tossed in flour, peppered with their own blend of spices and baked. Once they're ordered, a batch of already-cooled wings takes a dive in the deep fryer and gets bathed in one of 11 flavored sauces. I liked the baked-fried combo because I often find wings just fried have a big crunch but a weak flavor. These were juicy. My only complaint is that the hot sauce isn't very hot at all. Gougoustamos says if you want the heat, order the 248 Inferno — fresh jalapenos, habaneros and Serrano chiles. Yowza!
Specialty: The Habanero Peach BBQ was hotter than the Hot wings! Even though my fellow cohorts may diss fruit flavors on a spicy wing, I'm all for it. The blend of fiery habaneros is cooled by the peach flavor. The habaneros definitely overpower the other flavors in the sauce — my lips were tingling after two wings. But the subtle nuances in the sauce make it a wing you could just keep eating.Extras: The sauces get a big flavor boost from fresh serranos, jalapenos, habaneros and Thai chiles. "The Thai Chile (wing) has that little zing," says Janet Givnin, of Palmer Township. She, and husband, Kevin, are regulars at Diner 248. "They're nice and flavorful, meaty and never undercooked. (They're) always done right," says Kevin Givnin. But don't fear the flame. Wings are accompanied by homemade chunky blue cheese. This was my first trip to Diner 248 (though my husband and I had our first date at the location when it was Jack Creek Steakhouse and Cantina), but I know I'll be back.
Masked Muncher
Standard: Diner 248 breads its wings. Strike one. Diner 248's
wings are large and clunky. Strike two. Diner 248's hot wings aren't
very hot. Stee-rike three!
These wings are serviceable but nothing special. They'll fill you up and they'll make your nose run, but they won't make much of an impression on true wing connoisseurs. Here's a tip. If you can take several bites out of a wing and still have meat on the bone, it's not really a wing. It's Thanksgiving. Smother that drumstick in gravy, not hot sauce. This review may inflame Diner 248 loyalists, but if just a bit of that heat is directed toward juicing up the hot sauce, this judge will have done his duty.
The Muncher went trick-or-treating and got a pear instead of Reese's
cups. He ordered a beer and someone squeezed a lime in it. He walked
down the soft drink aisle and couldn't find soda without lemons or
cherries in it. So when he heard that a batch of chicken wings was
lathered in peach sauce, he ranted on the over-fruitization of society.
The Muncher's tired of all these fruits all over the place! Actually,
the Peach Habanero BBQ wings brought a burn to my lips. They had decent
flavor, even though they looked like they had been rolled in Smucker's
marmalade. They're worth trying out of curiosity, but the Muncher can't
envision gathering with the fellas to watch football and throw down
plates of peach-coated chicken.
Extras: We'll cut Diner 248 some slack because it had the dubious distinction of being the first judged in the Wing Showdown. But other contestants would be wise to heed these words: No matter what you do, whether you bread your wings or slather them in fruit or prepare them with dirt caked under your fingernails, do not -- I repeat, DO NOT -- skimp on the blue cheese. Don't water it down and don't be stingy with the little plastic cups. Your blue cheese should not maintain the viscosity of chicken broth. It shouldn't be runny or drippy or soupy. A thick, creamy dressing with hunks of blue cheese is part of the overall wing experience and can help to energize an otherwise pedestrian main course.

Mark Schultz describes himself as a movie maven, which helps explain the title of his new release, "Song Cinema."
Schultz, a Dove-nominated Christian singer, will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday at San Jacinto Baptist Church, 801 Tascosa Road. He said in a telephone interview from Olive Branch, Miss., that two of his favorite movies are "My Life," a 1993 film starring Michael Keaton, and "Life is Beautiful," the 1998 film starring Roberto Benigni.
The films are both about men on the verge of death who find creative and powerful ways to communicate their love to their young sons.
"I love going to movies, and I love when you go to a move that captures you and inspires you," Schultz said.
Schultz said he considers "Song Cinema," with songs such as "Kyrie Eleison" and "I Have Been There," to be "10 little film strips."
"I Have Been There," inspired by a sermon Schultz heard, is about how God says to people, "Hey, I've been there, and I'm going to walk you through it."
"It's a song of hope," Schultz said.
Schultz, 31, grew up in Colby, Kan. Schultz's self-titled debut came out in 2000.
When he's not performing, he is youth director at First Presbyterian Church in Nashville. Schultz prefers to see his music career as a ministry rather than a second job. He said young people tell him they're not as interested in material items as they are in forming relationships.
"At the end of the day, relationships are the only things you have, whether it's your relationship with God, your parents or your family," he said. "That's what life is about, and these songs are a tapestry of that."
The Amarillo concert will benefit Samaritan Pastoral Counseling Center, said Twilla Woolsey, executive director of the center.
Schultz will be accompanied by musical acts Ben Glover and Erin O'Donnell.
Tickets are $10 in advance at High Plains Religious Bookstore, Family Christian Stores and San Jacinto Baptist Church. To charge by phone, call 353-1668. Tickets are $12 at the door.
