WEDNESDAY, with Oregon State athletics:
It was another 5:30 a.m. practice Wednesday as the Beavers prepared for Saturday's game at Matt Court.
Senior G Calvin Haynes told me, "it's quite a change but we've been working hard and getting our minds back right. Yeah, I think it helps.''
Coach Craig Robinson doesn't see the final score Saturday as the light at the end of the tunnel (if OSU wins) or the end of basketball life as students know it on campus (if OSU loses), but he does say, "it's important, because it's a rivalry game and we haven't been playing well (9 losses in 11 games) at different parts of the games, different times and we need a very good win on the road.''
Robinson praised the plucky Ducks of first-year coach Dana Altman. They have been a pleasant surprise at a school that was bracing for throwaway season.
"That's what happens when people pick you low, it gives you some motivation,'' said Robinson.
"They are really playing well. They have played hard the whole season, watching them on tape and in person when we played them. … it's going to be a tough game. They're playing their first Civil War in their new arena and there's going to be some motivation there. They're going for a season sweep of us, so there will be a lot of motivation for them and we will have our work cut out for us.''
In the first meeting, the Ducks jumped out to a 33-16 lead in the first half before hanging on for a 63-59 win. This is not man bites dog stuff in terms of OSU basketball: the Beavers have fallen behind by double figures in the first half of EIGHT Pac-10 games and lost all eight of them. In the five games OSU hasn't fallen behind by double digits in the first half, the Beavers are 4-1. The only loss was at Washington.
"We took entirely too many three-point shots without working the ball around. That was one of the things we did that led to them getting some breakouts,'' said Robinson.
"And once they got a little bit of a lead, they became very comfortable and then they started making their three-point shots. There's a connection there.
"What we've got to do is we've got to defend like we've been defending. We've been defending very well the last three or four games. Then we have to execute on offense. That's usually pretty much it for us recently. By execute, I mean finish, because we've been running out offense very well and getting very good shots. We've just been missing them.''

Focus On Farming agricultural conference set for Nov. 29
ARLINGTON Farmers from around the county are looking forward to the fourth annual Focus on Farming conference which features national agriculture leaders speaking on issues that fit the theme, From Soils to Sales.
Arlington farmers, Barbara and Rodney DeVol, who own several Dexter cows at Heather Meadows Farm, on Jim Creek Road, are looking forward to the day-long event in Lynnwood, Nov. 29. As is S.J. Gahm who raises about 70 head of lambs at her On the Lamb Farm on Moran Road near Arlington.
Its mostly about networking and sharing ideas, said Gahm, whose day job is as a medical doctor. She also raises dogs to herd the sheep.
Barbara DeVol said the same thing.
Weve been attending the conference since it started and always learn a lot, DeVol said. Its really important that the local government get involved in helping farmers make a living.
Gahm has a specific mission in mind for this years conference.
I plan to talk with other cattle growers about the possibility of starting a butcher co-op here in Snohomish County, she said, adding that there is no USDA approved butcher here, which may impact her ability to sell the organic lamb she raises to restaurants.
We just slipped in at the Bow facility on a cancellation this year, but I dont know if we can count on that, she said.
Another Arlington farmer, Linda Neunzig, is active in coordinating the event through her full-time job representing agriculture in Snohomish Countys economic development department.
This years focus, From Soils to Sales, will give farmers more resources to meet the demands of a changing marketplace and shifting environmental conditions. The keynote speakers include Congressman Rick Larsen who will speak about the U.S. Farm Bill in the Northwest.
Washington State Universitys Chad Kruger will present the morning keynote, Climate Change Impacts on Regional Agriculture. Kruger currently serves as the Director of Outreach for the Climate Friendly Farming Project, which is researching agricultural practices and technologies that reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and provide renewable, biomass substitutes for fossil fuel-based products. And Dr. Fred Kirschenmann, from Iowa State Universitys Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, will speak on Meeting Agricultures Challenges in a Rapidly Changing World.
Breakout sessions include the latest research, methodology and techniques for on-farm efficiency and will explore trends in local and organic farm to market; alternative grains; environmentally friendly nursery technology and bio-energy.
Check-in begins at 7 a.m. and the conference starts at
8 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, at the Lynnwood Convention Center, at I-5 & 196th St. SW in Lynwood.
Admission is $40 and $10 for those under 18 after November 15.
Our partnership with farmers across the region has allowed us to identify innovative ideas and proven strategies to promote agriculture, said Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon.

SOMERVILLE — A 44-year-old Roselle Park man is in the county jail with bail set at $150,000 after he was caught trying to shoplift lithium ion batteries from the Route 22 Home Depot in Watchung.
Store detectives allegedly watched Brian K. Belles of Columbus Place removing the batteries from their packaging and then leaving the store without paying for them at about 2:25 p.m.
When the store detective approached Belles, the accused shoplifter attempted to flee, according to Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey Soriano.
After a struggle, Soriano said, the detective and two store employees were able to take Belles into custody before Watchung police arrived. During the struggle, Belles is said to have threatened to shoot the employees if they didn't release him, but no weapon was found on him. One employee's hand was cut.
The batteries shoplifted had a value of $357.
Belles is charged with robbery.

I have already lost 30 pounds and plan to lose more. I have started considering a mommy makeover after my weight loss. Breast lift w/ Aug, Tummy Tuck, Maybe an Arm Lift and Lipo. What would my goal weight need to be?
I Am 5'2 167 Pounds Right Now and Was Wondering What Would Be the Ideal Weight for a Mommy Makeover? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Mommy Makeover at 5'2" 167 lbs
Mommy makeover may give the best results if you are closer to your goal weight. If you lost an additional 30 lbs, you would probably be close. It is sometimes not practical to lose to goal weight, but a healthy stable weight is always good. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com/Mommy-Makeover-photo-galleries.php
Ideal weight
In my past, I have used the body mass index to help determine this. Everyone has a unique body frame and you have to be confortable with your weight.Keep in mind, it may be easier for you to loose weight after a mother makeover. All the best
Ideal Weight for Mommy Makeover
The question of your happiness post-operatively is more dependent on how you want to look. If you think a goal weight of 130lb is attainable and more importantly sustainable, then yes, go for it. But if that goal is not likely to be achieved, then understand that compromises can be considered.
The key is to know yourself, know your goals, and convey that info to your plastic surgeon. Unfortunately there is not a single formula applicable to every patient or every situation. Best of luck and once again congratulations, keep up the good work !

Measurements and numbers as BMI, fat content%s are very scientific, but an easy method is just taking your height and determining a good weight for your height. Thus at 5"2' are you best to be at 130 pounds? YES! So lose 37 pounds. Doing these math equations are great but better to diet and exercise.
Body Mass Index for best weight to have mommy makeover
It is well documented that patients with a Body Mass Index of more than 30 have a higher incidence of complications from mommy makeover surgery and similar procedures. BMI is a way of relating weight to height (see the link below.) Yours is a little more than 30 right now, but I think ideally you should be closer to 25.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana -- Jordan Matthews' confidence grew with each question.
Like his ascent from Madison Academy to a possible first-round pick, the progress was gradual but noticeable."It has been a blessing," said Matthews, the former Vanderbilt wide receiver. "A lot of people would have said I shouldn't be here, a two-star recruit out of Madison, Alabama, a private Christian school and no one had ever gone Division I from that school before. A lot of people said I should focus on playing basketball or do something else or go to Vanderbilt and get your economics degree and go on Wall Street and work with stocks and bonds.
"But God had a different plan for my life. It is just a blessing and I am just trying to make the most of it."
This year's group of wide receivers is considered one of the best in recent NFL Draft history, and Matthews is part of the reason why.
After a stellar week at the Senior Bowl, Matthews is ranked as high as No. 8 (CBSSports.com) at his position. If that's how the chips fall in the May NFL Draft, he'd likely be a second-round selection.
At 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, he has the measurables NFL franchises covet at wide receiver. He also has the smarts, as he graduated from Vanderbilt with a degree in economics and was lauded by Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage for his request for film of the all-star game's cornerbacks.
"I think I stack up great against every wide receiver here," Matthews said. "I think everybody brings their own type of unique capabilities and I think I have some attributes that are better than other guys and there are some things I definitely have to work on and I am going to continue to work on those things during this whole draft process.
"But if you ask me, I always feel like I am going to best the best. I feel like I am the best guy here."
Matthews only got better during his four years at Vanderbilt, one of the few FBS schools to offer him a scholarship. He worked his way into a starting role by the end of his freshman season and finished the next three years as the Commodores' top receiver.
After amassing 112 receptions for 1,477 yards and seven touchdowns, Matthews finished his college career with nearly every Vanderbilt receiving record and was included on multiple All-American teams.
Still, the attention directed his way isn't on par with some of the other receivers in his class.
"There is nothing wrong with being under the radar," Matthews said. "At the end of the day I only compete with myself. The radar that I worry about is the one that Jordan Matthews is worried about. As long as I go each day and am trying to be the best player that I can be, then I feel like that is going to help me the most."
The knocks on Matthews center on a perceived lack of explosiveness off the line of scrimmage that would prevent him from generating the necessary separation against elite cornerbacks. According to his NFL.com scouting report, Matthews "lets some throws into his body and is not immune to concentration drops" and has "limited creativity and elusiveness after the catch."
Matthews politely, and confidently, disagreed.
"I feel like I have definitely shown my explosiveness," he said. "The scouts, they have all watched the film and I have never been caught.
"I have played four years in high school and four years of college and I still haven't been caught. I know where my speed is and I know I am one of the fastest guys in the country if not the fastest with the ball in my hands."

This is shot of a beach in St. Kitts in the Caribbean. The sister island of Nevis is to the right, shrouded in clouds. If it werenât for the love of travel, I would never have gotten to take this shot, much less actually been there to experience the absolute sheer beauty of the place, and of the day. Thanks to travel, I have been fortunate to have taken many such photos over the last 25 years, enough to fill over 30 albums, several walls and half my hard drive with beauty, romance, history, and relaxation.

Yo ho ho, mateys! I just wanted to reach out into the interwebs to tell you that my friend-4-life Tiffany published a beautiful post today titled "Musings on Gratitude" and I recommend it to everyone. It's inspiring and it reminds me just how lucky I am.
Also I'm here to wish my Moose a Happy Anniversary!
Today is our third anniversary and as a gift to my husband, I made my aunt Pam's incredible peanut butter pie recipe and shoved it into little mini cupcake holders. Then, in an attempt to be cute, I wrote "Happy Hat Trickiversary!" on them because a hat trick in hockey is when you score three goals. It's been three years. Three goals. Get it?
Well, my plan kind of flopped because I had a hard time lining up all of the little pies to spell "trickiversary" so when I gave him a photo of the pies (I wanted to give him the photo first so he'd jump up and down and say, "thank you now please give me those pies!"), there he stood, slowly mumbling, "Happy Hat Tricki…Trickiver…sary?" I had to explain it to him and even after I did, he still seemed a little confused. And then he thought that the gift was the PHOTO and that I had actually made them and ate them without him. He was all like, "Thanks for this photo!" Dude. Come on! I mean I know I eat a lot of desserts but am I really that much of a sweets monster that I would only give him an image of some awesome pies that I made and ate all by myself?
He said that the pies tasted amazing so at least that went well.

We generate optical beams analogous to the Wannier–Stark states in semiconductor superlattices and observe that the two main lobes of the WS beams self-bend (accelerate) along two opposite trajectories in a uniform one-dimensional photonic lattice. Such self-accelerating features exist only in the presence of the lattice and are not observed in a homogenous medium. Under the action of nonlinearity, however, the beam structure and acceleration cannot be preserved. Our experimental observations are in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions.

This One's Going to Last Forever
reflects both the naïve optimism of those who have yet to learn about love and the cynicism of those who feel that by now they should know better.
Clara, a university student working at the
McGill Daily
, discovers that in love and politics, commitment is often more imagined than real. Kelly and Sonya share a bond that has less to do with love than with their dependence on each other and a succession of friends who supply them with heroin. A middle-aged man who performs drive-through weddings dressed as Elvis realizes, as he marries his first same-sex couple, that the only domestic partner he is ever likely to have is his ailing father. But when he ends his latest relationship, an unlikely friendship results.
The characters in these darkly comic stories and novella may be searching for love in all the wrong places, but they are also able to find love in the most unexpected places.

7/22 Extra bases
With Friday's win over the Astros, Carlos Zambrano now is 5-0 with a 1.62 ERA in his last eight starts against Houston at Wrigley. He has 16 wins against the Astros.
* Aramis Ramirez is batting .378 with 25 runs, eight doubles, 13 homers and 27 RBIs in his last 26 games since June 24. He has 247 doubles, seven shy of tying Wildfire Schulte for 14th on the team's all-time list. He also hit his 231st homer, and now is tied for sixth on the team's all-time list with Gabby Hartnett.
* Alfonso Soriano's homer was his 15th and ended a 0-for-18 skid. It was his first since June 19. Has he been pressing?
"Not really," Soriano said. "I've been thinking too much about the situation. We expected to play better and I think I was playing with a little frustration. It's good we had a day off yesterday and I tried to not think about the situation and tried to do my job."
* The Cubs should top 2 million fans on Saturday. They have drawn 1,993,067 so far to Wrigley Field in 54 home dates.

The estate of a Puyallup, Wash., soldier who died in Roseburg in 2008 is suing the federal government for $2 million, arguing that he was too impaired to have been given a three-day pass by the Roseburg VA Medical Center.
According to the lawsuit in federal court in Eugene, Jeffrey Jared Waggoner was given a score of 30 out of 100 on the Global Assessment of Functioning -- a measure of a person's psychological, social and occupational fitness. A score of 30, the suit says, typically indicates a need for inpatient care.
The suit says the 32-year-old veteran of the war in Afghanistan suffered from a variety of physical and emotional maladies, from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to addiction to opioids. At the time of his death, Waggoner was prescribed a cocktail of 19 drugs, including Oxycodone, Clonazepam, Melatonin, Tramadol, Cyclobenzaprine and nicotine. The estate's lawyer, William Savage of Portland, said Waggoner was given a three-day pass and instructions about his medications.
The lawsuit said he checked into the Roseburg Sleep Inn, went across the street to Applebee's, but fell asleep at the counter. An Applebee's manager put his food in a bag and walked him back to his hotel, leaving him at the door to his room.
Savage said the surveillance video shows Waggoner trying to slide his card key in the room's lock, then slumping unconscious in the doorway. The suit says the Douglas County Medical Examiner pronounced his death a result of an overdose of methadone and Oxycodone and asphyxiation, apparently the result of the way Waggoner had fallen.
The Army's own investigation into Waggoner's death found that he shouldn't have been released by the Roseburg VA Medical Center because of his Global Assessment of Functioning score, the lawsuit says.
Tuesday's filing was the estate's third attempt to sue over the Roseburg VA's handling of the case. The first two notices of tort claims were rejected by the government under the Feres Doctrine, which prohibits members of the military from suing the government for injuries incurred while on active duty. That led to Tuesday's filing, Savage said.

Letters| Let's save the North Bend movie theater
As a good citizen of North Bend, I think the theater should never ever shut down.
I know the modern projector costs a lot, so I encourage people to donate money to the North Bend Theatre. Either way, I'd go to the theater even if they played old movies. I personally don't care if the movies are old. If they raise their prices don't blame them, blame the movie industry.
I think many people agree with me even though I'm 9. I like watching movies all the time and the next nearest theater is in Issaquah.

Warmer than normal temperatures so far this year have anglers hoping for a late fall, and it looks as if that is what might happen. October was a bit more streaky than usual, but there are a lot of fish being caught now.
I hate to sound like a meteorologist, but higher than normal water temperatures with a succession of cold fronts followed by sunny days make for great fishing weather, especially if the fish are still biting. Also, strong tides influenced by the moon are having a big impact on local fishing.
Detectives with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office are searching for four black males they say robbed four people at gunpoint at their Shallotte home.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Detective Jayne Todd said four victims reported being robbed at gunpoint by four unknown black males at their Maple Hill Road home around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Each suspect is believed to have been carrying a firearm, Todd said, adding the suspects stole cash.
The following cases were adjudicated over five days of District Criminal Court on Oct. 21, 22, 23, 26 and 27 in Bolivia.
Wednesday, Oct. 21
Judge Marion R. Warren presided over the following cases with prosecutor Cathi Radford and courtroom clerk Lisa Quick:
Terry William Brewer, speeding 64 in a 55 zone, $25 and costs, 30 days to pay; fictitious/canceled/revoked registration card/tag, voluntarily dismissed.
Joey Franklin Bridgers, threatening phone call, voluntarily dismissed, plaintiff to show cause.
It's been a difficult year for some Brunswick County residents. As the economy has suffered, many people have found themselves with reduced hours or out of work altogether.
In Brunswick County, the unemployment rate was at 10.5 percent in September, relatively unchanged from August's rate of 10.6 percent.
Funding for a state program, however, is helping to breathe new life into job searches and skill creation.
Drug agents have arrested a Supply man for his role in the recently discovered marijuana farm in the Green Swamp.
On Wednesday, Oct. 28, agents with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit arrested 54-year-old William James Burney, of 2187 Ridge Forest Drive SW, and charged him with two counts of trafficking marijuana, one count of possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver marijuana and one count of manufacturing marijuana.
A Supply man was killed Friday when his motorcycle collided with an SUV on Kirby Road in Supply.
According to N.C. State Highway Patrol Sgt. T.T. Daniels, the wreck occurred around 2:15 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, on Kirby Road near the intersection of Seashore Road.
Joseph Cross, 33, of North Ridge Drive, was driving a 2001 Yamaha motorcycle west on Kirby Road at about 55 mph, which is the posted speed limit, Daniels said.
Former Sunset Beach town councilman and mayor pro tem Carl Bazemore died Sunday in Asheville following a lengthy battle with cancer.
Bazemore, 81, served three four-year terms on Sunset Beach Town Council, from 1995-2007.
While a councilman, Bazemore was Sunset Beach representative with the Brunswick Beaches Consortium and chaired a South Brunswick Water and Sewer Authority stormwater management program.
Brunswick County's unemployment rate remains high, dropping only slightly from 10.6 in August to 10.5 in September.
Brunswick County's Employment Securities Commission (ESC) Director Eli Smith said workers from across the career spectrum, including those with advanced degrees, are now collecting unemployment insurance.
The town of Shallotte has set impact fees for Internet sweepstakes establishments. The fees are similar to those for other businesses such as doctors' offices.
At last week's pre-agenda meeting, the board of aldermen voted to set fees of $1,100 for sewer and $365 for water for each toilet, after town staff recommending setting higher rates more closely aligned with restaurant impact fees.
"I can't imagine it comes near putting the same burden on facilities as a restaurant," alderman John Kinlaw said.
The stars marked a change of seasons for early man. For modern man, the store shelves mark the changing seasons. We just watched as Halloween turned into Thanksgiving and Christmas on store shelves.
Looking into the night sky you can see the stars marking the same changes as they did long before the stores shelves. The Summer Triangle has moved into the western sky during early evening. The Great Square of Pegasus has moved overhead and a famous bright star is low in the east, we call this star Capella.

Recap: 'The X Factor' Season 3 Finale - Performances
If you're curious, I missed last Thursday's "X Factor" results show due to a weird combination of traffic between Baton Rouge and Natchez, wifi at an antebellum hotel and Slingplayer suddenly deciding to require a new plugin that my Mac OS wasn't prepared to handle.
I wasn't able to do a recap and I chose not to watch the episode, but I did see that Restless Road was sent home, leaving a Final 3 of Alex & Sierra, Jeffrey Gutt and Carlito Olivero. I'm confused by the latter, but it's possible that Simon Cowell is pushing Carlito deeper and deeper into the show in hopes of liberating himself forever from "X Factor USA."
In any case, I'm back for this week's two episodes and then that'll hopefully be it for me and "X Factor." I've said this before, of course, and FOX sucked me back in with Alex & Sierra in the premiere.
8:02 p.m. ET. Apologies for the late start. Slingbox problems again. Technology is a blessing and a curse. I'll catch up later on Pacific time. I think Alex & Sierra perform better when I'm not watching anyway.
UPDATE: Now, on Pacific Time, it's Carlito Time!
Singer: CARLITO OLIVERO
Song: "Impossible"
My Take: Wow. That was just about the most manipulative clip package I've ever seen on one of these shows. Carlito does a Spanish-infused take on Shontelle. The song is very low for its verses and Carlito doesn't have a voice that goes low especially well. He's much better when it gets to the chorus, which is in his range. I was probably wrong to expect more out of this performance based on the raves I saw from the judges when my Slingbox started working.
The Judges Say: The judges, as I already knew, love him.
8:18 p.m. Simon is praising Carlito as my Slingbox kicks in. Let's get to recapping!
8:22 p.m. Yay! I'm in time for Alex & Sierra. And I promise I'll go back and add blurbs for whatever I missed earlier.
Singer: ALEX & SIERRA
Song: "Give Me Love"
My Take: I'm never going to get over my bitterness that "X Factor" wasted Alex & Sierra's one chance at Swell Season on an awful duel with Carlito. But this is very nice as well. Alex even got a haircut. He's looking so neat and professional. Sierra is wearing curtains, but she looks lovely as well. And they're great. They're both very good in their solo moments and the chemistry in the harmonies are blistering. I honestly may buy an Alex & Sierra album. I'm *never* bought an album from an "Idol" or "X Factor" contestant before. Ever. But I'll buy an Alex & Sierra record.
The Judges Say: Kelly tells them that their vocals have evolved through the season. "Y'all sound even better now and that's what this whole journey is about. Any label would take y'all right now," Kelly says. "I'm so absolutely blown away," says Demi, who claims that she's genuinely a fan. Demi particularly singles Sierra out for her growth. "Just to see you every time with something different," Paulina says. Simon says it's been an honor working with them. He says he always dreamt that this show would find an American star to represent the show around the world. Ouch. Sorry, Melanie Amaro and Tate Stevens.
8:41 p.m. More mockery as "X Factor" plays "Falling Slowly" in the background of the "Jeff Gutt Gives Kelly Rowland A Framed Picture of Himself" clip package. Let Alex & Sierra sing it themselves!
Singer: JEFF GUTT
Song: "Dream On"
My Take: It's always important to remember that Steven Tyler is a remarkable rock vocalist. Listen to this pathetic defanged version of the Aerosmith classic and it's impossible to do anything other than miss all of the big notes that Jeff is just skipping entirely. Literally every time the song goes into that Steven Tyler upper register, Gutt just drops an octave. There's absolutely no point. Why not just give him a song that he's capable of singing? Or why not rearrange the song musically so that it's a different song, rather than the same song with the high notes removed? Worst of all, towards the end, Jeff tries going high and the result is shrill and unsuccessful. Dreadful. And three of the judges stand. What was even the point?
The Judges Say: "That was really really great," Demi says, insisting that Jeff took it to a different level. No. He didn't. The audience loves Jeff and Demi and Paulina figure this means that he was awesome. Paulina tells Jeff that he's big and she admires him. Simon believes that Jeff believes he can win the show, calling it "authentic." Simon says any record label would want to sign Jeff. Sadly, this isn't even close to true. What record labels are signing non-winning rockers from low-rated reality shows? Obviously if Jeff wins, he'll get his record deal. But otherwise? Dunno. Somebody may sign him, but *any* record label? No. "Uh-Maze-ing," Kelly says.
8:49 p.m. Up next? Duets with special guest stars.
8:53 p.m. Actually, first we're killing time with an awkward performance by Paulina Rubio. Simon is amused by the excess of the stage show and of Paulina's Black Swan get-up.
8:57 p.m. Carlito is performing with Prince!!! Oh. Prince Royce.
Singer: CARLITO OLIVERO & PRINCE ROYCE
Song: "Stand By Me"
My Take: Prince Royce is, apparently, what Carlito would be if he were better. He's not an artist I know other than in passing. He's got a very sweet, smooth voice. He's obviously much huger with the audience that Carlito is hoping desperately to tap into. And "X Factor" is doing anything humanly possible to tap into that Spanish-speaking audience, since it's an audience that even "X Factor" has failed with entirely. This Spanish-fueled cover of "Stand By Me" doesn't require big vocals and Carlito's performance is agreeably melodic, even if he's upstaged on every shared moment by his celebrity partner. Prince Royce repeats multiple times that Carlito is Latino, just in case you didn't know.
The Judges Say: Prince Royce is sent off the stage, just in case the judges have anything negative to say. Kelly says that it was "really easy" for Carlito, but adds that there are hand-claps all around. Demi says that Carlito has what it takes to become a Latino pop star. Simon calls it "a perfect collaboration" and says Carlito wasn't overshadowed. Paulina says that a million dollar recording contract would change Carlito's life. Shoot, it would change my life, too.
9:04 p.m. Oh. I only missed one performance earlier, it looks like. Given that I didn't start until 8:18, that's a bit hilarious, but I'm sure Paulina and Carlito had lots of nice things to say about working together.
Singer: ALEX & SIERRA & LEONA LEWIS
Song: "Bleeding"
My Take: Leona Lewis is great, but she's here tonight because she's an "X Factor" veteran and "X Factor" seems to have struggled to get finale talent. And, even worse, she's an awful pairing with Alex & Sierra on one of her own songs. Because so much of Alex & Sierra's appeal is their ability to sing directly to each other, throwing in another gorgeous woman throws off the emotional/chemistry dynamic entirely. And the three-part harmonies aren't natural or effective at all. Just in case you think I'm too much of a homer for Alex & Sierra to know when they aren't good... This isn't good. At all. It's a bad miscalculation and it's the reason "Idol" contenders perform with stars in the finale *after* the votes, because it'll be a sham if this ill-conceived trio costs Alex & Sierra votes.
The Judges Say: "Y'all are great. God-doggit," Kelly says, calling it "a nice vocal." Demi, however, felt that it wasn't their best performance and that they were outshined by Leona. Paulina loved it, or something. Simon says Leona Lewis changed the show forever and they can as well.
9:18 p.m. Jeff Gutt's duet is with "one of his heroes." It's "one of the greatest artists ever" according to Kelly. And it is... That guy from Goo Goo Dolls. Welcome, John Rzeznik.
Singer: JEFF GUTT AND JOHN RZEZNICK
Song: "Iris"
My Take: This is a great song choice for Jeff Gutt, because it puts him right in the middle of his '90s wheelhouse. Interestingly, when John and Jeff sing together, it's pretty nice. It's when Jeff is solo that there's some odd affectation. I think Jeff has given much, much better performances in this competition.
The Judges Say: Demi Lovato is star-struck and giddy to be around John Rzeznick. Paulina says Jeff has the "X Factor." Simon calls it the perfect collaboration and song. Simon also notes how "rare" it is to see the "generosity" that the guests showed in giving up their time. That was pretty much an explicit admission that they struggled to find guests, isn't it?
9:28 p.m. When our performers first auditioned, they were AWFUL. Ugly, insecure and plan. Then? Covergirl gave them makeup and soon, they have beauty and confidence and comfort. I may throw up.
9:29 p.m. My favorite part of that commercial was the subtle appearances by the men, who are pretending they're not slathered in makeup.
9:30 p.m. Our last performances are songs that the contestants have sung before. "Falling Slowly"? PLEASE?
Singer: CARLITO OLIVERO
Song: "Maria"
My Take: Oh. Really? This was one of my least favorite "Carlito" performances. And I don't understand why it begins with a fairly long Carlito dance solo. Will Alex & Sierra get a similar dance breakdown? So many dancers bringing the heat around what is a very bland vocal from Carlito, just as it was the first time. I know that having a dancer in a skimpy costume distracting Simon is a good strategy, but Carlito's bleating on the higher notes mostly shows he can't really sing them.
The Judges Say: Kelly's happy. Demi thinks America should vote for him. "You have earned my respect, America's respect," Simon says. "You deserve this recording deal," Paulina says.
Singer: ALEX & SIERRA
Song: "Say Something"
My Take: Boo. I loved this performance as much as the next guy. It had piano and guitar and harmony and many things I love. But come on. "Falling Slowly." Redemption! They do this very well. I'd move Alex five feet closer to Sierra. I'm uncomfortable with the distance between them. I don't care if he has to sit on the piano. It would be worth it. Anyway. Yay, Alex & Sierra. Sorry "X Factor" hosed you with that duet with Leona Lewis. Sierra's added emotion makes this even sweeter.
The Judges Say: "That was even better than the first time," Kelly says. "You never cease to not blow me away," Demi says, Yoda-style. Paulina says that Alex & Sierra speak the universal language. Simon says they're exactly what the show needs and that they deserve to win. Wow. Alex & Sierra got a whole week dedicated to them in Daytona, putting them in the same league with SPRING BREAK!
9:46 p.m. Incidentally: If Alex proposes to Sierra tonight, they win. Otherwise, I'm not sure if they can win. As we learned from Peeta and Katniss, audiences are suckers for a love story. Pull the berries, Alex! Pull the berries!
Singer: JEFF GUTT
Song: "Creepy"
My Take: Jeff is OWNING his '90s side tonight. And the director is OWNING the cut-aways to Jeff's cute son in the audience. For me, this performance is a mumbly mess, but I'm pretty much ready to surrender on "X Factor" for life. If you love Jeff Gutt and his cute son, you'll probably love that performance. The crowd sure does.
The Judges Say: Demi thinks that was amazing. She also thinks America should vote for Jeff. "I enjoyed this performance," Paulina says, calling him "perfect" and "unique." Really? "Perfect"? "Unique"? Simon was happy that millions of people got to see him. Kelly plays the "Jeff Gutt has a cute son" card. Sigh. Well, at least Jeff Gutt is helping Detroit recover from the pain of the cancellation of "Low Winter Sun."
9:56 p.m. So apparently everybody tonight was perfect and flawless and unique and brilliant. I can't believe that we're going to have to watch for a full two hours to get the results.
9:58 p.m. I'll be back in an hour to write about Carlito's first performance.
You know what I think. What did you think?

BAY CITY, MI — A former bank building that served as the accounts receivable and treasurer's office while Bay City Hall was undergoing renovations was razed today.
At about noon on Tuesday, April 1, the white building at 260 Washington Ave., next door to the McDonald's restaurant and across the street from City Hall, was demolished by Midland-based Bierlein Cos. Windy conditions on Tuesday kicked dust around the demolition site.
According to Bay County records, the building is owned by SSP Associates. SSP is also the developer of the Uptown Bay City project, which is being built two blocks west of the former bank building.
The building was sold to Independent Bank on March 23, 2007, by TCF Bank for $500,000. A little more than nine months later, on Dec. 28, 2007, Independent Bank sold it to SSP for $195,000, according to county records.
Al Warr, a spokesman for SSP, said the development firm is demolishing the building to clear the parcel for possible future development.
SSP also owns the medical offices next door between 10th and 11th streets on Washington Avenue.
Following an October 2010 fire that severely damaged City Hall, city employees were set up in temporary offices leased to the city to conduct day-to-day business, including the building that was nearly fully demolished by 1 p.m. on Tuesday. The building was used for residents to pay their utility and tax bills.

I live in Volusia County, central Florida. Late this afternoon I saw what I at first glance thought was a mourning dove perched quietly on the top tier of my birdbath in the backyard. As I looked more closely, I realized that although the bird was dove-shaped, it was smaller and sleeker (slimmer) than a mourning dove. It was also buff in body color, but with a decidedly orangeish/red, sharp, pointed beak. When it preaned and extended its wings, a beautiful pink/coral color was revealed in the feathers under the wing. Its feet were yellow.
I have been unable to identify this bird using any of my North American bird guides. Can anyone help?

This was an outstanding production of one of the great American plays.

For the most part, a powerful cast and a powerful story. Somewhat disappointed in the acting of the two sons, but the remainder of the cast is outstanding.

It was one of the best performed plays I've ever seen.
Big complement and many thanks to the cast!

It was billed as a "Jewish" take on "DoaS"," but aside from occasional "yiddish" fiddle music, there really wasn't anything "jewish" about it. it was the play as it normally is.
Quotes & Highlights
"…a very strong cast…in its highly credible first wrestle with an American classic…. Sharp performances…" —San Francisco Chronicle
As the centerpiece of their new season, Traveling Jewish Theatre tackles an American classic: Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Why is TJT, with its 28-year history of producing original, company-created works and new plays, taking on such a monumental and well-known iconic work? TJT Artistic Director Aaron Davidman says, "Miller's critique of the 'American dream' is more timely now than ever. Using TJT's ensemble approach, we will investigate new dimensions of the play, while absolutely respecting Miller's text."
Davidman will direct, and company co-founder Corey Fischer will star as Willy Loman. Fischer says, "So much has been written about why Miller chose to make the Lomans generic 'Americans'—and leave out his own Jewish background. However, if you think of Willy as a first-generation American Jew, the play opens up in some surprising and beautiful ways."
Fischer adds, "After years of working on new material, there's a different kind of excitement in engaging with a work that has decades of associations and assumptions around it. We hope to challenge what people think they know about the play."
Salesman _also stars new TJT Associate Artist Jeri Lynn Cohen—a charter member of the Word for Word Performing Arts Company, and veteran cast member of productions at A.C.T. and Berkeley Repertory Theater.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Earl Holmes can vividly recall the point of contact with Warrick Dunn inside the one-yard line. He remembers mustering every ounce of strength in his body, employing every last muscle at his disposal to cease the forward progress of the Atlanta Falcons running back.
Holmes has not forgotten how Dunn dropped to the ground, unable to squirm free from the Cleveland Browns linebacker's grasp, or how he joined his teammates at midfield, where the group bounced up and down in celebration on the orange helmet painted into the grass.
Now the head coach at Florida A&M, Holmes reflects back on his last-second tackle, the clinching play on the Browns' goal-line stand in their final regular season game. The win propelled them to the 2002 postseason. The Browns haven't sniffed the playoffs since. Holmes said that fact is "surprising."
But while he occasionally suffers from nightmares about Steelers ball-carriers running wild in the second half of the Browns' AFC Wild Card loss in Pittsburgh the following week, he no longer has the time to reminisce much about his 10-year NFL career.
Holmes will direct the Rattlers, an FCS program that hails from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, into Columbus for a tilt with No. 4 Ohio State on Saturday. He'll do so with former Browns teammate Corey Fuller, Florida A&M's defensive backs coach, at his side.
Instead of playing at Bragg Memorial Stadium, a venue that seats 25,500, Holmes' squad -- an eight-touchdown underdog -- will play in a stadium that holds 105,000. Holmes compared the environment to that of the "Dawg Pound" in Cleveland.
"All I want is for my kids to go out and play the way they've been coached to play," Holmes said. "I don't want to walk in and try to beat 100,000 people. That's not the case. I want them to go out and line up and beat the men across from them."
Holmes did that quite often during his professional career. Florida A&M's all-time leader in tackles spent the first six years of his career with the Steelers. That made the postseason loss in 2002 even more frustrating.
"It was personal for me," Holmes said. "That would have been a lot of redemption for me. We had a great run and we're still the only team since Cleveland came back to play in the playoffs. I always still root for them."
Holmes relocated to Detroit after his lone season in Cleveland. He played for the Lions for three years and joined the Florida A&M coaching staff in 2009. Now he is in his first year as head coach and has the Rattlers at 1-2 through three games.
"It's not where we wanted to be, but we're taking very positive steps, and that's what it's all about," Holmes said. "You have to crawl before you walk and learn to run. During my first year, we're crawling, but we're putting the pieces together. Once this thing happens, it's going to be great for us. We're just going through the growing pains."
The 2002 Browns endured a similar plight. They started the season 2-4 before they "became a team in the second half and found out who [they] were," Holmes said. A 7-3 finish pushed them into the postseason.
On Saturday, Holmes hopes to learn whether he has any NFL talent on his current roster.
"They have a chance to win a national championship," Holmes said of the Buckeyes. "If anybody on our team has aspirations of playing on Sunday, these are the types of kids they're going to be playing against. We'll find out exactly what it takes to see if they have that NFL potential."

Session Law
Chapter 18 AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF BURLINGTON TO ISSUE 8 ADDITIONAL LICENSES FOR THE SALE OF ALL ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES TO BE DRUNK ON THE PREMISES AND 2 ADDITIONAL LICENSES FOR THE SALE OF WINES AND MALT BEVERAGES TO BE DRUNK ON THE PREMISES.Prev Next
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the trial court, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
(a) Notwithstanding section 17 of chapter 138 of the General Laws, the licensing authority of the town of Burlington may issue, within the Northwest Park Planned Development District, 8 additional licenses for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be drunk on the premises and 2 additional licenses for the sale of wines and malt beverages to be drunk on the premises pursuant to section 12 of said chapter 138.
(b) Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, the licensing authority shall not approve the transfer of the licenses to any other location outside of the Northwest Park Planned Development District. A license may be re-issued by the licensing authority at the same location if an applicant files with the licensing authority a statement in writing, from the department of revenue that the license is in good standing with the department and that all applicable taxes have been paid.
(c) If a license granted under this section is cancelled, revoked or no longer in use, the license shall be returned physically, with all of the legal rights, privileges and restrictions pertaining thereto, to the licensing authority. The licensing authority may then grant that license to a new applicant at the same location and under the same conditions as specified in subsections (a) and (b).
Approved January 31, 2008

When I first read this story on the WWL about Kobe telling Coach K on his Sirius XM radio show that he plans to play for Team USA in 2012, I was pretty excited. Mostly because he's already old — 32, but straight out of high school — he'll be older in 2012 — 34; I should have been a math major — and he's got bad knees with a lot of miles on them. So maybe the Lakers' powerhouse won't continue beyond 2012?
This quote then made me a little sad.
"If anything, I'll just be Mariano Rivera – come in in the last two minutes," Bryant said, referring to the New York Yankees closer.
Oh, no. Could there be a more sympathetic role for Bryant than the aging great, past his prime, coming in and hitting big shots and then sitting back down?
He avoids adding wear and tear and still gets the glory.
I suppose ultimately this doesn't affect the Celtics much — after 2012, the KG and Ray Allen days will likely be over, and Paul could easily be our 6th man by then if he slows down in the next couple of years. But I hate the thought of Kobe becoming this clutch assassin off the bench for a team that should be absolutely loaded.

Tonight show skit succeeds with real-life couple
When Jay Leno ventures out of the studio to speak with real people the results are often, well, lame.
Not so for a recent "Tonight Show" segment called "Pumpcast News." The fictional news anchor at the pump (yeah, when did that start?) asks an unsuspecting couple to sing for him. But what follows is an introduction to the world's happiest made-for-primetime couple. »Read Full Article
'Malcolm and Teresa' has trouble finding heart of pair's connection
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article

Banner headlines proclaim the legalization of gay marriage (Jersey Journal, Sept. 28). Same-sex couples want recognition with all the rights afforded unions between a man and a woman. This dilemma can be solved by treating all couples aspiring to wed the same way -- but not in the way currently proposed.
In Europe, a couple intending to wed must be married by a civil magistrate. In the United States, couples intending to wed go to the local authority and get a license to marry. This is not a marriage. The local magistrate can perform that service, but, more commonly, the couples' clergy attests to the contract and performs the ceremony.
The solution is for the state to dispense with licenses, revoke clergy authorizations and require all couples, gay and straight, who desire to wed to apply for and undertake a civil union witnessed by the local magistrate. If a religious wedding is desired, the couple will have to take it up with their pastor.

If you weren't there, you missed some good golf from two young, talented players.
Pszczola, apparently not bothered by the 36-hole match, went to Rockville Links the following morning and fired a strong 74 to qualify for the Long Island Golf Association Mid-Amateur.
The S.I. Amateur championship match began at 7 a.m. and as usual, drew a sparse gallery that consisted of tournament officials, one or two fans and a reporter for the first 18 holes.
We asked veteran Jack Hill, runnerup in 1971 to Len Dahl, about the difference between the Amateur contests of today and those in the early days of the 1950s.
"The crowds," said Hill. "This event drew as many as 500 fans back then and there are photos around to prove it."
Chuck Aloi, who has worked at Richmond County CC most of his life as a caddie and a starter, had the same answer.
"We always had large crowds of golf fans who showed great interest in the Amateur. They were here early and stayed right to the end," said Aloi. "Back in the 1950s we had caddie tournaments that drew a couple of hundred fans."
He remembers those well since he won the caddie championship in 1950.
We know there are many reasons for the sparse turnout. People today are much busier with obligations and errands like driving their children to all sorts of sports activities. A large number of golfers who work during the week would prefer to play their own round of golf on their day off. Also, with so much professional golf on television they would rather settle down in the recliner.
Walking the RCCC course is no easy task for people of age and unless they get a ride in a cart from a member, they'll pass on trudging the golf course. Whatever the reasons, we recall the days when fellow club members and neighbors were up there rooting and even making a friendly wager or two on their buddies or fellow club members.
We are smack in the middle of the busiest competitive golf weekend with players of all ages and genders.
The Staten Island Women's Amateur is scheduled to conclude Sunday at Richmond County CC.
The SIGA Senior amateur began on Friday with an exciting qualifying round in all three divisions. John Gutzeit of RCCC went to the top of the leader board with a round of 71 at Silver Lake and had a strong representation of matured players looking toward the match play segment of the tournament. All 16 qualifiers in the senior class shot under 79.
Mike Young, a Monsignor Farrell HS junior, flashed the talent we had always suspected he had with a strong 74 that included a 3-under-par 33 first nine to lead the boys' division into match play.
The buzz of the day came from the girls' division when Theresa D'Iorio smacked her tee shot into the cup on the 150-yard third hole for an ace. Theresa was 12-1 in matches for Susan Wagner in 2011, is looking forward to her senior year as captain of the golf team and aspired to a career in golf management.
The girls surviving the cut play Saturday in the semis at RCCC. Taylor O'Halloran will oppose Maggie Garin and Christa Golden will take on Theresa D'Iorio. The finals will follow next Sunday.

Taichung pharmacy accused of profiting from price scam
May 24, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
TAIPEI--Lita (利達) Pharmacy Co. in Taichung City is believed to have defrauded Taiwan's National Health Insurance system of more than NT$70 million (US$2.35 million) from 2011 to 2013, Taichung District Prosecutors Office said Friday.
The pharmacy allegedly sold five different types of commonly used medicines at inflated prices to 449 hospitals and other medical institutions in Central Taiwan, the prosecutors' office said, after questioning the company's president, another executive and two employees late Thursday night.
For example, Lita was selling the drug debronc, which is prescribed for respiratory problems, at NT$2 per tablet above the actual cost, according to prosecutors.
They said 80 percent of the debronc tablets sold in Taiwan are supplied by Lita.
In the period December 2011 to October 2013, Lita was colluding with hospitals and other medical institutions to report inflated prices to the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA), raking in illegal profits of NT$71.25 million, prosecutors said.
The pharmacy's president, surnamed Wang, was questioned by prosecutors Thursday night and released on bail of NT$200,000.

NEW YORK — In her first interview since the end of a disappointing regular season for Rutgers football, athletic director Julie Hermann left little wiggle room about the status of the head coach.
Asked directly Tuesday if Kyle Flood would keep his job for 2014 — regardless of the outcome of the Pinstripe Bowl against Notre Dame — Hermann gave a one-word answer: "Yes."
"My goal is for Kyle to take us into the Big Ten," she said before leaving a bowl news conference at Yankee Stadium and heading to meetings for her new conference in Manhattan. "I'm looking forward to it."
Hermann was in the Bronx with Flood, along with their counterparts from Notre Dame and Yankees officials, to discuss the matchup in the Dec. 28 bowl game between the two programs.
On Sunday, she had issued a short statement supporting Flood, who had fired three assistant coaches in the aftermath of a 6-6 regular season. Hermann said Tuesday that she had agreed with the decision, but the moves had been Flood's.
"I've been supporting Kyle all along. He knows that," Hermann said. "He made some decisions about his program, and I want to make it clear to everyone that I agree with those decisions."
Hermann, in her brief remarks at the news conference, said playing in the Pinstripe Bowl "gives us an opportunity to really regroup and take a hard, long look at ourselves."
Those meetings, Hermann said, have already begun.
"Kyle and I have spent a little bit of time and will continue to spend time over the coming weeks (talking) about what we think football needs," she said, "and we're going to drill down on that and do all we can to get ready for the Big Ten."
