COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Asked in the immediate and stunning aftermath of Saturday's 26-18 loss to Purdue if he'd seen reason before the game to think his team wasn't ready, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said no.
"That's a tough one because I'm always a nervous Nellie. No more than any other time," Tressel said Saturday.
By Tuesday, that tune had changed. It seemed like everyone inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center practically knew the Buckeyes were going down against a 13-point underdog. Fifth-year defensive tackle Todd Denlinger said he had never seen the Buckeyes take a team as lightly as they did the 1-5 Boilermakers.
"To the extent we saw last week, I've never seen before," Denlinger said. "We didn't have a lot of guys in the film room. We didn't have guys staying after practice trying to get better. There was too much joking during the week."
Denlinger said Tressel tried to get the message across, but it obviously didn't work. He put the problem on the players.
"I'd put that solely on the seniors," Denlinger said. "We've got to focus up as seniors and make sure that we don't let that happen again."
Receiver Dane Sanzenbacher saw it, believing the Buckeyes weren't mentally there. Receiver DeVier Posey saw it, saying the Buckeyes took Purdue lightly. Tressel saw it. And no one stopped it.
"I didn't think I did a very good job of getting them to really understand the challenge we had," Tressel said. "It's hard for people to understand the depth of a challenge, but I didn't think I did a very good job. I didn't sense that from anyone that, man, these guys are good or these guys, man, I can't believe they're not 5-1.
"And that's my job, that's not your job, it's not someone else's job, it's my job to make sure we understand the difficulty of the challenge truly. What's the percent chances of being the national champions, what's the percent chances of being the Big Ten Champion, what are we going to have to do to do that? And I'm not sure I've done as good a job as I need to do helping us understand that those aren't just, oh, shoot, we'll be the champions. There's been a lot of people come through here that have never been the champions, and it's a difficult thing and you've got to understand the difficulty of the challenge."
Also: The Buckeyes are expected to be without injured tailback Dan Herron and injured defensive tackle Dexter Larimore against Minnesota. . . . Tressel said quarterback Terrelle Pryor actually made fewer mistakes against Purdue than he had in some previous games. "From the film-grade standpoint, he probably had less minus plays than he did in the past couple of weeks," Tressel said. "Now that's the good news. Here's the bad news: The minuses that we had were those triple-minuses." . . . The Buckeyes named no offensive or defensive players of the week for the Purdue game. The only awards went to Solomon Thomas for special teams coverage and to some scout team players. . . . Pryor is 2 yards shy of 1,000 rushing yards for his career.

Although Armenians were second class citizens in the Ottoman Empire, they lived in relative harmony with Turks for centuries before the forces of nationalism transformed the situation. Armenians were known as the "loyal group". During these times, although Armenians were not equal and had to put up with certain special hardships, taxes and second class citizenship, they were pretty well accepted and there was relatively little violent conflict. Things began to change for a number of reasons. Nationalism, a new force in the world, reared its head and made ethnic groupings self-conscious, and the Ottoman Empire began to crumble. It became known as "the sick man of Europe" and the only thing holding it together was the European powers' lack of agreement on how to split it up.

complete linked list of the Super Bowl 2013 commercials (excluding TV and movie promos and local ads) in roughly the order they aired. Many of the ads this year were leaked online days or weeks before the game. Tell us which ads were your favorite.
The AP's List of Top 10 Super Bowl Ads of 2013
1. Chrysler's two-minute spot during halftime was a salute to troops and their families. The ad featured Oprah Winfrey reading a letter from the Jeep brand to encourage families to stay hopeful until their loved ones return.
2. Chrysler also scored with a Ram ad that saluted farmers featuring radio broadcaster Paul Harvey's 1978 "So God Made a Farmer" address, which talks about the heartiness of farmers. It ran while documentary-style still images of farmers past and present played.
3. Anheuser-Busch pulled at heartstrings with a spot about a baby Clydesdale growing up and moving away from his farm and his trainer. The horse remembered the trainer after returning for a parade, and raced to hug him.
4. Audi's 60-second ad featured an ending that was voted on by viewers prior to the game. The ad showed a boy gaining confidence from driving his father's Audi to the prom, kissing the prom queen and getting decked by the prom king.
5. GoDaddy's spot gathered a lot of buzz, although a lot of it was negative. The spot showed a close up extended kiss between supermodel Bar Refaeli and a nerdy guy wearing glasses to illustrate the company's combo of "sexy" and "smart."
6. Samsung's two-minute ad showed Seth Rogen ("The Guilt Trip") and Paul Rudd ("Role Models") getting called in to do a "Next Big Thing" ad for Samsung. But Rogen and Rudd are agitated once they realize that they're sharing the spotlight. LeBron James, an NBA basketball player for the Miami Heat, makes a cameo, appearing on the screen of a tablet.
7. Best Buy's 30-second ad in the first quarter starred Amy Poehler, of NBC's "Parks and Recreation," asking a Best Buy employee endless questions about electronics.
"Will this one read '50 Shades of Grey' to me in a sexy voice?" Poehler asks about an e-book reader. When the staffer says no she asks, "Will you?
8. Doritos "Crash the Super Bowl" winners showed the lengths people will go to in order to protect their Doritos. In one spot, a man buys a goat, but when he realizes the goat is eating all of his Doritos, he tries to get rid of him. In another ad, a man and his pals play princess dress up with his daughter to get some Doritos.
9. Taco Bell's ad showed octogenarians sneaking out to go party, causing trouble and winding up in a Taco Bell parking lot eating tacos - just like their twenty-something counterparts might do.
10. Oreo's ad featured a showdown in a library between people fighting over whether the cookie or the cream is the best part of the cookie. The joke? The fight escalates into thrown chairs and other destruction, but because the fight is in a library, everyone still has to whisper - even police called to the scene.

Freedom of speech as protected by our precious First Amendment is among the most valuable rights we are guaranteed as citizens of the United States. We are free to speak our minds, free to voice our opinions — whatever they may be — and free to oppose the very government created by the same document that grants us this freedom.
This is a cornerstone of our dear American democracy, for as President Harry S. Truman once said: "Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of the opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
These days, we often fail to see that the "checks and balances" in the American republic extend much further than the powers of the legislative, executive and judicial branches over one another. In our system of federalism, there is yet a fourth and final check on any branch of the government: the all-powerful voice of the American people. As American citizens, we have the right and the responsibility to ensure our opinions are heard. We are given a powerful chance to do so through our vote, but simply showing up at a polling place once every two years isn't enough. We must be well-informed, open to divergent opinions and motivated to shape our nation through the free exchange of ideas.
As Gen. Douglas MacArthur once famously proclaimed: "No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation."
As Americans, we must take responsibility for the defense of our liberty from threats both foreign and domestic by thrusting off the sense of apathy that has enveloped our country. We must be aware of what is going on in Washington and sufficiently informed to discern for ourselves whether our government is behaving justly, submitting to the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and sufficiently protecting the liberties guaranteed to us by the founders. If the men and women in Washington are doing all of these things, then as the voting populace, we have done well in selecting America's leaders. If, on the other hand, they are not, the blame does not lie with the politicians; rather, we are responsible. We failed to select competent representation for ourselves.
George Bernard Shaw said it this way: "Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve."
If we cringe at the actions of our representatives, the First Amendment protects our right to publicly voice our opinions and, thereby, impact our nation on two levels. Primarily, as constituents, our beliefs have direct bearing on the activities in Washington. Secondarily, we have the power to use our personal beliefs to influence popular opinion, thereby shaping the face of America.
Although President Barack Obama proclaims, "One voice can change the world," the difficulty is in having that voice heard and truly considered by the masses.
Many Americans treat politics as their hobby, avidly seeking out opinions that mirror their own, while disregarding any information that counters what their political camp believes to be true. By tuning into Rush Limbaugh's radio program, watching Fox News broadcasts and reading The Wall Street Journal, conservatives can easily immerse themselves in a world where all they hear regards the merits of Republicanism and the evils of the Democratic Party. Likewise, liberals can escape conservatism entirely by watching only MSNBC, heralding the opinions of Rachel Maddow and treating The New York Times as a substitute for the Bible.
It is this aspect of our polarized society that John F. Kennedy was referring to when he said "too often, we . . . enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." We devalue the expression of opinion when we draw a line through society and adopt an "us vs. them" mentality.
The articulation of our political opinions will hold very little democratic value until we learn to think independently, to expose ourselves to both sides of an argument and to question the "talking points" perfected by spin artists who come out of Washington. We live in a scary society dominated by politics but nearly devoid of civil discourse.
I believe our nation is in dire need of a second American revolution, not one in which we overthrow a tyrannical government, but one in which we, the people, abandon our apathy, denounce Washington's political spin and begin to truly examine our own beliefs as well as those held by the opposition. When we choose, once again, to engage our minds rather than just our emotions in our vital role as citizens, the expression of our opinion will be restored to its proper place of power: as the foundation of American democracy.

Steve Gunn's column, "Just say no when TSA asks you to 'chat'," which shared a recent airport experience, drew 130 responses from MLive and Muskegon Chronicle readers.
It also attracted the attention of the Drudge Report, TheBlaze and numerous other online sites.
Gunn wrote:
Here's what readers had to say.
I came face-to-face with Big Brother the other day, and it was a frightening experience.
He actually presented himself in the deceptive form of a young, attractive female officer, working for the Transportation Security Administration at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
At first she simply seemed chatty and friendly. She looked at my airline boarding pass and noted that I was coming from Denver. Then she mentioned that I was headed from Detroit to Grand Rapids."That's a pretty short flight," she said.
"Talk to my travel agent," I grumbled.
At that point she asked me what my business would be in Grand Rapids.
"I'm headed home," I replied.Then she wanted to know where home was. That's when the mental alarms went off and I realized I was being interrogated by Big Brother in drag.
Frank Koza believes the TSA techinique originated with Israel's El-Al airlines and is excuted better by them as well:
Steve, the technique in itself isn't wrong or unConstitutional, however it was grossly misapplied by an inept bureaucratic agency, but aren't they all.
This is a proven technique El-Al security has been using fairly successfully for decades. DHS has known about it and they even have the story of how El Al uncovered the explosives in Anne-Marie Murphy's luggage somewhere on their website. The fact that it took them this long to put it into this "pilot program" that apparently, from your situation, is totally screwed up from the start shows how inept they are. It's a technique, not a dogmatic stand-alone procedure that they appear to have made it into. El Al doesn't simply ask questions of every 5th passenger or whatever guidelines TSA has put in place for their pilot program. Anne-Marie was subjected to the technique because she was a pregnant Irish girl traveling alone to Israel, certainly not their typical passenger. A few simple questions raised more suspicion. Israeli security experts call it "process profiling", or looking for things out of the ordinary that warrant a little further investigation, which is vastly superior to Americans' demand for racial profiling.
Your response to the inquisition was quite normal for an increasing number of Americans who are tired of being subjected to this type of stuff and should have been met with nothing more than a smile and an "Ok, sir. Have a nice trip home and enjoy your day." That's what El Al security most likely would have done.
GRowler wonders if people remember why these questions need to be asked:
DO you remember 9/11, Steve? Do you really? Shame on you. Behavioral profiling is both appropriate and effective. Nothing to hide then nothing to worry about.Adam Tibble sees the TSA action as an infringement on his rights:
It's scary how easily some people will hand in their civil liberties for overreach that has proved ineffective time and time again. If 9/11 justifies these monstrosities, wouldn't the 30,000 people who die on our roads every year justify GPS tracking of all motor vehicles for speed violations and reckless behavior? No one is forcing you to drive! You could always walk or bike!Have you had a similar experience with the TSA? Do you think it's a necessary evil or an infringement of your rights? Post your comments below or return to the original conversation.
I want my civil liberties back

Hearts & Hammers in need of projects
The members of Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers are ready to get their hands dirty and dig out their tools for their annual spring work day. But here's the thing; before they can start fixing leaky faucets, pulling weeds and repairing roofs, they need to find some faucets, weeds and roofs to work on.
Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers is in its third year. It is a nonprofit organization that helps those who cannot complete their own home repairs or chores due to physical or financial constraints. The work is paid for through fundraisers and donations and comes at no cost to homeowners.
During the month of March, Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers members are asking people to sign up their home repair needs for their work day on May 7. Though requests will be taken through March 29, the members are asking people to call them in as soon as possible to allow for proper planning time. This year, the members hope to take on 20 projects.
Board member Bill Skubi said projects can range from pulling weeds to painting houses to remodeling a deck or entryway to make it safer or wheelchair accessible.
"We'll do just about anything to help make a home more inhabitable," Skubi said.
Projects can only be submitted by homeowners who live within the Coupeville School District boundaries. Skubi said Hearts and Hammers has had some difficulty in the past finding projects to take on because people are too proud to come forward, but he stresses that there is no need to feel that way.
"We're just neighbors helping neighbors," he said.
And in regard to help, the organization is also seeking volunteers and donations to ensure that all of the projects are possible.
"Many hands make for light work," Skubi said.
Though a few of the nonprofit's 11 board members have professional experience as contractors, plumbers and painters, volunteers do not need to have any special building or landscaping skills; all adults and teenagers are encouraged to lend a hand. Furthermore, those who are more comfortable sticking to cooking, cleaning or gardening tasks are welcome to do so.
"Whether it's businesses donating supplies or individual citizens, the community at large steps up," board member Vickie Chambers said.
The volunteers and homeowners will gather on May 7 around 8 a.m. to share a provided breakfast at Living Hope Foursquare Church and then will spend the day working on prospective projects. Around 6 p.m. they'll reconvene from the day's labors and enjoy dinner.
"After a full day of working together, everybody kind of bonds," Chambers said. "It's very celebratory."
The nonprofit's biggest fundraising event of the year will be a concert featuring the infamous Johnny Bulldog. The show will be held at 7 p.m. at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge on Friday, April 1. Advanced tickets cost $20 and will be on sale at Lind's Drugstore and Bayleaf in Coupeville; Wind & Tide Bookshop, Shred Shred Guitar Shop and Whidbey Coffee and Cafe in Oak Harbor; and Bookbay in Freeland. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on the day of the performance for $25.
To help fund the projects in another way, people can send donations to Central Whidbey Hearts & Hammers at 107 South Main Street, Suite C-102, Coupeville, WA 98239. Donations are tax deductible and all proceeds directly benefit the projects. Last year, Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers completed 17 projects on their spring work day costing about $10,000 total.
Submit your proposal
To submit a project or to volunteer, call Central Whidbey Hearts and Hammers at 360-240-2964. A volunteer form and email addresses can be found at www.centralwhidbeyheartsandhammers.com.

BALTIMORE -- Outfielder Brennan Boesch remains day-to-day with his right thumb sprain, but he is headed in the right direction.
"Brennan's continuing to improve," Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said. "His range of motion and strength is continuing to improve. We're going to try to put a bat in his hand today and let him see if he can handle the weight of the bat.
"If he's able to do that then we'll do some tee work and get a better idea where he's at."
Boesch suffered the injury Tuesday while swinging at a pitch in his second at-bat of that night's game against Cleveland. He left the game Wednesday in the second inning and has not played since.
Boesch is hitting .285 with 16 home runs and 54 RBIs this season.

On Monday, a group of 24 disabled veterans will be celebrating the annual holiday in their honor in an especially unique way.
Thanks to a partnership between a the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF), the Allegheny National Forest (ANF), the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) and a number of local sponsors, veterans will get the chance to participate in a "Wheelin' Sportsmen's" Veterans Day pheasant hunt.
According to Kristen Giger, project biologist for the federation's "Beanfields" project being done in conjunction with the ANF, "the 'Wheelin Sportsmen's' program helps those with disabilities get out and enjoy the great outdoors."
Hunters will meet at the Starbrick fire hall. Beginning at 9 a.m., groups of eight hunters at a time will be driven to the "Beanfields" project area to participate in a hour-and-a-half hunt. Three groups in total will be taken out to hunt, with a tentative return time for the final group of 4 p.m.
When the veterans are not hunting, master wood carver Robbie Anderson will be at the fire hall teaching carving.
A number of prizes will be raffled as well.
According to ANF spokesperson Kathy Mohney, the "Beanfields", near Irvine, "is a 120-acre grasslands restoration project."
The project is being undertaken through a stewardship agreement between the ANF, the PGC and the NWTF in which the federation is utilizing a 2010, 183-acre black cherry harvest to implement approximately $1.3 million worth of habitat work.
"Cooperation from all three parties makes restoration projects like this a success," Mohney said. "Given today's economy and the budget cuts that everyone is experiencing, partnerships are more crucial now than ever before if we are to maintain quality wildlife habitat on public lands here and elsewhere."
The NWTF is involved in similar agreements with national forests across the country.
"We came up with this idea some time ago," Giger said. "We at the NWTF felt that this area offered a great opportunity to hold a 'Wheelin' event on one of our habitat enhancement sites. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has been instrumental in much of our restoration work. Additionally, some of those men volunteered their time to help out with this event. The idea is to showcase the partnerships and the work while saluting the heroes who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms, including the ability for us to hunt and fish."
According to Giger and Mohney, the NWTF, PGC and ANF aren't the only partners involved in making the hunt a reality.
Pheasants Forever is supplying dogs and handlers for the day. Ed Burris, Warren County director of Veterans Affairs, and the Erie Vets Center helped find participants. Mike Bleech also helped locate interested veterans and Jones Chevrolet is providing transportation between the fire hall and the "Beanfields".
"Several veterans' organizations and local businesses stepped up to sponsor this event," Giger said.
Mohney agreed, saying, "Without financial backing from the community, an event like this could not take place."
"The mission statement of the NWTF is, 'The conservation of the wild turkey and the preservation of our hunting heritage.' This event really embodies that whole concept," Giger said. "I could not think of a better way to spend Veterans Day than to be surrounded by the true American heroes enjoying God's country."
"It's our way of showcasing the habitat work we have completed," Mohney said, "while saying a very sincere and heartfelt thank you to the veterans who have sacrificed so much to defend our rights to hunt and fish."

News and Notes
- MMAWeekly is reporting that Hermes Franca has left The Armory and he is now in the process of opening his own gym in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The gym will be opening in November. It will be inside of a boxing gym called Palm Beach Boxing Club that will now also house Team Hermes Franca.
The gym can be found at 1611 N. Military Trail, West Palm Beach, Fla. Interested parties can call at either 561-833-2131 or 561-319-6608.
- Ricardo Arona told Tatame that he has not signed with M-1 but he has received offers from organizations in Canada and the USA.
Bablefish Translation:
"I did not close with the M-1. I heard very on this for ai, but I did not receive no proposal to fight against the Stench. Pra you to be sincere I nor know this event", I said Arona, that he intends to still make a fight this year. "It arrived some proposals of Canada, of the States and Japan, but I am waiting best the proposal to still close a fight in December", disclosed the BTT.
Reports surfaced earlier this week that Hardcore Championship Fighting in Canada was interested in acquiring the services of Arona. HCF has been on a tear lately signing the likes of Aleksander Emelianenko, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, and Renato "Babalu" Sobral.
- MMA Madness caught up with Ken Shamrock to get his thoughts on a variety of subjects including his brother, Frank Shamrock.
MMA Madness: Frank has openly stated he's willing to fight you. Is the feeling mutual for you?
Shamrock: Do you want the complete and honest truth?
MMA Madness: Yeah, let's hear it.
Shamrock: Frank is the kind of guy who will only fight someone if he thinks he can beat them. He won't fight me unless he talks enough crap that he gets pushed into it by the fans. He might even price himself out of the fight just to get out of it. He's done that before. He walks around saying he's the Lion's Den guy and this and that. He was probably my third best guy when I was training them all, behind [Jerry] Bohlander and [Guy] Mezger. Also, Frank has problems against people who can take him down and he knows I would take him down. Look at his fight against Renzo [Gracie]! I can knock him down and punch him out. He's my brother and all, but don't think for a second that I wouldn't fight him.
- MMA Junkie has teamed up with "The Bubba the Love Sponge Show" and will become the MMA content provider for the show's official website.

For your listening pleasure here are some
Really Unique and quite Rare LP Records from the 70's & 80's.
Mondo Rock - Chemistry
For more than a dozen years,
Mondo Rock dispensed punchy, craftily professional, adult pop-rock.
Between 1977 and 1991 the Australian charts were enriched and enlivened by their sleek and proficient offerings.
At the heart of Mondo Rock's aural alchemy was the exceptional songwriting talents of vocalist Ross Wilson and guitarist Eric McCusker,
who brought to the group diverse but complementary approaches and executions.
Mondo Rock was formed in 1977.
Their 2nd album 'Chemistry' became one of the largest selling albums of 1980/81,
yielding the hits 'Cool World', 'State of the Heart', 'Chemistry' & 'Summer of '81'.
Mondo Rock continued to produce hits with 'No Time', 'Come Said The Boy' and 'Primitive Love Rites',
until Ross decided to pursue a solo career, releasing the 1989 album 'Dark Side Of The Man' & the hit single 'Bed Of Nails'.
Reviewer: Mondo Rock Website
This album comes from my personal collection (opps, now i have given my age away ;-])

How many times have we longed for Valve to reveal at least a shred of evidence that Half-Life 3 exists (or Half-Life 2: Episode 3, if you prefer)? The thing is they never said a word. No official info or media. Nothing. Hints, rumors, possibly some tidbits that might lead us to believe they haven't given up on the project entirely, albeit nothing concrete.
It appears that Valve's managing director Gabe Newell commented about the company's project "Ricochet 2," which according to reports, doesn't really exist, so now they're saying he was, in fact, referring to Half-Life 3. So, yeah, it's like a code for Half-Life 3 (BluesNews via Develop).
Here's what he had to say:
"In terms of Ricochet 2, we always have this problem that when we talk about things too far in advance," Newell said. "We end up changing our minds as we're going through and developing stuff, so as we're thinking through the giant story arc which is Ricochet 2, you might get to a point where you're saying something is surprising us in a positive way and something is surprising us in a negative way, and, you know, we'd like to be super-transparent about the future of Ricochet 2."
"The problem is, we think that the twists and turns that we're going through would probably drive people more crazy than just being silent about it, until we can be very crisp about what's happening next," he said.
What just happened?

|Apr 23 2012, 08:20 am EDT
So, I guess, Valve just played along and keeps referring that game about 50% of life "Ricochet 2". But, hey, at least they're working on it! Right? Right? *crickets*

(it's Marc Laidlaw's baby, with 15 years of investment; he gave up writing award-winning novels to come on-board at Valve and create Half-Life, it's the only thing he does for them and so long as he's employed there we can consider it fact that Half-Life is alive and well at Valve)
...as others have pointed out, the gap between HL1 and HL2 is now less than the gap between Ep2 and now. And imo, that's a problem.
I understand that Valve is a financially independent studio of perfectionists with no publisher oversight forcing them to make deadlines -- and while for the most part I think that's fantastic, because it ensures artistic integrity -- at some point they need to make sure they don't make the same mistakes 3DRealms made with Duke Nukem Forever.
Taking your time is well and good, but there's still such a thing as taking too much time. There's a window, and eventually it closes... even for something like Half-Life 3.
|Apr 23 2012, 04:02 pm EDT
|Apr 23 2012, 05:40 pm EDT
|Apr 23 2012, 10:15 pm EDT
Or in other words...
Obvious troll is obvious.
Anyway, it should go without saying, but... Valve is never, ever going to bother with a sequel to freaking Ricochet, so Gabe is obviously using codespeak for SOMETHING. If it's not HL3, what else would it be? That it's HL3 is the only logical inference. Every other IP Valve is involved with is currently completely above-board and has no need for such coyness.

Homebuyer And Homeowner Education Seminar
Financing a home purchase or refinancing a current mortgage can be an overwhelming process. Closing costs, credit ratings and creating a household budget that makes home ownership possible can be challenging. Do you already own a home, and are considering a home equity loan or refinancing through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)? In this free, two-part education program – "The Homebuyer and Homeowner Education Seminar" – these topics are presented in a clear and easy way that takes the mystery out of financing or refinancing a home.
This is a two-part program, and will be held on Wednesday, November 13 (Part 1) and Wednesday, November 20 (Part 2) from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County's Education Center, located at 232 Plaza Road in Kingston, New York.

The program covers subjects such as: credit reports and maintaining credit; household budget and its role in home ownership; debt-to-income ratios; mortgage insurance; adjustable rate mortgages versus fixed-rate mortgages; refinancing requirements; prequalifying for a loan; when a home equity loan is the answer; or when HARP is your best solution. These and other topics will be discussed.
The program is presented by Don Doyle, a community educator with over 40 years of experience in banking, personal finance and financial education for individuals and groups.

Marysville teachers take to streets over budget cuts on Feb. 16
MARYSVILLE — The shortened school day on Thursday, Feb. 16, will see Marysville School District teachers taking to the streets to direct the public's attention to state budget cuts such as those that have already necessitated such furloughs.
Students will be released from school three hours early that day, and their teachers will be taking time off without pay shortly after those students are dismissed. All teachers will be off work by about 11:30 a.m., and the Marysville Education Association has asked them to gather at specific intersections along State Avenue between 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., to wear red and hold signs focusing attention on the proposed state budget cuts.
A statement released by the office of Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland noted that this furlough day is a result of the 1.9 percent salary reduction imposed by the state Legislature, and added that the Marysville School District has made $21 million in cuts over the past four years. Cuts proposed by the governor for next year would require another $6 million in cuts to the Marysville School District, which its officials have pointed out would impact property-poor districts such as Marysville much more than richer school districts.
Nyland and Marysville Education Association President Arden Watson reiterated that teachers would remain in their classrooms and continue to teach their students until school is dismissed for the day, and emphasized that all teachers, administrators and support staff who participate in this event will be doing so voluntarily and on their own unpaid time. Administrators and classified support staff may take their lunch time or request leave time off to join the event.
This action was previously scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 18, to raise public awareness during the legislative session, but was rescheduled due to snow closures.
For more information, call the Marysville School District at 360-653-0800 or the Marysville Education Association at 360-548-3446, or visit the Marysville School District website at http://msvl.k12.wa.us.

ORANGE BEACH, Alabama -- City officials will wait until Monday to see what the Tropical Storm Isaac is doing and then decide whether to reschedule Tuesdays election.
"We're in limbo now," said Ken Grimes, city administrator for Orange Beach. "We would reschedule the election if there is a true concern of public safety and an evacuation."
Gulf Shores will meet Saturday afternoon to discuss the latest on storm preparation and the upcoming election.
So far, the SEC BeachFest is continuing as planned this weekend at the public beach on the foot of Ala. 59 and Ala. 182. On Sunday, the fanfare will be open to the public. City officials said the music stages will probably be taken down on Saturday night after the Dr. John concert.

DIVERS BEGIN WORK TO RETRIEVE 'KURSK' CREW BODIES. Russian and Norwegian divers, working in shifts over the past weekend, have cut through the outer hull of the sunken "Kursk" nuclear submarine and removed an industrial rubber coating between the outer and inner hulls. Work on cutting into the thicker inner hull began on 23 October and is not expected to be completed until the following day, according to Russia navy spokesman. However, as weather conditions deteriorate in the Barents Sea, it is feared that the work of the divers may be complicated. Russian Navy Commander-in Chief Vladimir Kuroedov cautioned the diving teams on 20 October not to take any excessive risks in carrying out the operation to retrieve at least some of the remains of the 118 crew members, Interfax reported. Earlier, he had suggested that the operation might not take place at all (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 20 October 2000). Only Russian divers are to enter the submarine. JC

Garrason's Tavern, known for its Moscow Mules and fishbowls, didn't close after all.
Customers were in and out of the bar at 400 Forster Street late Thursday afternoon. The bartender said he didn't know the particulars of why the tavern was still open, but they were doing business as usual.
Owner Rob Fogelman was not available for comment on the advice of his attorney.
The tavern's Facebook page Wednesday afternoon said the bar and restaurant would close at the end of business hours because of economic circumstances. The page post was pulled later in the afternoon and said there was an off-chance the bar would stay open if things went well Thursday at a bankruptcy hearing.

After the Rutgers pep band hit the final few notes of "On the Banks of the Old Raritan" in unison with the remaining student section tonight, Mike Rice turned with his team and headed for the locker room. On his way off the court, he glanced up at the scoreboard. Then he shook his head. He gave it one more look.
Then he wiped his brow.
Before tonight's 62-56 season-opening win over Dartmouth, the Rutgers coach had preached to his young team that winning on the Division 1 level isn't easy. At the end of 40 minutes, that lesson became even clearer. Even at the expense of a few drops of sweat.
"Today was definitely the game that we needed to experience that," junior wing Dane Miller said. "At the end of the day it doesn't matter, but we were favored and Dartmouth came out and played great. They did a good job and that showed them that you have to play at a high intensity. And not just (the freshmen), but all of us."
Recruiting rankings. Promises for improvement. Raised expectations. All of that was left on the cutting-room floor tonight. This young Scarlet Knights (1-0) team was forced to realize the hard way that putting a "W" on the board in college basketball doesn't come with the snap of a finger, even with an opponent like Dartmouth (0-1) — picked to finish dead last in the Ivy League in the league's preseason poll.
"Hopefully we can learn and this can help us in the future," Rice said. "But again, guys were nonchalant. I keep telling them how hard it is to win a Division 1 game. I don't care who you're playing. And I give credit to Dartmouth — they controlled the tempo and gave us some trouble with the looks they gave us."
Things looked good for Rutgers in the first five minutes.
Then came the first media timeout of the evening and the Scarlet Knights began to tighten up. Sloppy passes in transition. Not getting back on defense. Poor shot selection.
All of it had Rice boiling much of the night. This was a night when the famously emotional second-year coach was supposed to keep his calm for at least a half. Instead, his whipped his jacket off a little more than four minutes into the game after a botched play on offense.
"It's very hard (to win)," freshman point guard Myles Mack said. "You're tired after three to four minutes. You get winded and (Rice) takes you out because he knows it's very tiring going as hard as you can."
While Miller led the way with a game-high 12 points, Mack and fellow freshman Eli Carter pitched in nine points each. But — as was the theme of the night — every positive had a negative attached. Collectively, the Scarlet Knights' trio of heralded freshman guards — Mack, Carter and Jerome Seagears — had just three assists to eight turnovers.
"Inconsistent, but you're going to find that," Rice said of his new guards. "That's what you're going to find from those three. I think they're playing really hard and they're trying. And they're trying to embrace the formula and do what we want. But it's just going to be (tough)."
Still, the consistency Rice would like was lacking.
But at the very least, that was part of the lesson that was drilled home on opening night.
"I think we're going to limp until we understand better," Rice said, "how to keep building on a lead or come back. Whatever instance, these guys are new. You don't have those seniors who understand what to do, and they can help police themselves. It's a new experience for all of us."

Writer responds to PSE story
The front page story about Puget Sound Energy's proposed
staffing shifts should be viewed as another indication that big changes in the
utility industry are coming down the road. PSE's current staffing convolutions
are primarily being caused by changes in the way electricity is generated,
transmitted and distributed to end users.
Basically, the generation, transmission and distribution of
electricity are being "unbundled" as part of
the nationwide effort to deregulate the utility industry. This means one
company will generate power, another (Bonneville Power Administration
in our case) will transmit the bulk power from the generating sites to the
distribution utility's local grid, and the local utility will deliver power on
demand to the points of use. Puget Sound Energy is evolving into one of the
local "distribution" utilities because
they have already divested much of their generating resources and BPA is
the recognized transmission agency in the Pacific Northwest.
Is this bad? No, not really. But, it does mean that PSE soon must
make all their profits off only part of their historical piece of the pie. Now
they have no guaranteed rate of return on generation, transmission and
distribution combined. While it is true they still have their legal monopoly on
distribution rights in their service territory, even this is not guaranteed
because big chunks of their distribution business can go elsewhere. This is
evidenced by up to six municipalities currently thinking about jumping
the PSE ship and forming their own public utilities. In other words, PSE
must become competitive in ways they didn't dream of even five or ten
years ago. This means controlling the costs of operating and maintaining the
local grid _ a tough job in an area that is growing as fast as the tri-county
area of the central Puget Sound Basin.
The employees of PSE should stay light on their feet because all
these changes will inevitably affect them _ sometimes adversely. I think they
are about to join the ranks of displaced loggers, fishermen and middle
bank managers. Users of electricity (this means everyone) should stay light
on their feet because the key question in all of this is "reliability." Will it
get better, or suffer? Will the cost of "reliable" electricity increase, stay
the same or go down?
The utility industry is currently spending millions on development
of fuel cells and microturbines that generate power at the point of use.
These technologies don't require an electricity grid. In the near future
individual residences and businesses may be able to choose to generate their own
power on site instead of buying off the grid. The days when good ol' Puget
Power took care of everyone by building an affordable "electricity birthright"
are beginning to erode and even the senior managers upstairs in Bellevue
are operating with a somewhat cloudy crystal ball.

Last week, the esteemed Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research, released a new analysis of the large controlled studies that have looked at whether breast self-exam saves lives.
Their conclusion: "Data from two large trials do not suggest a beneficial effect of screening by breast self-examination but do suggest increased harm in terms of increased numbers of benign lesions identified and an increased number of biopsies performed. At present, screening by breast self-examination or physical examination cannot be recommended.â€
Not surprisingly, the media were all over their new report. And as I read these news stories, and my quotes in them, I was frequently struck both by how many reporters got aspects of the story wrong and by what readers took away from the story, as evidenced by the calls we received and comments logged on media websites.
First of all, this was not a new study. It was a new analysis of the large research studies that have been done on this topic. Secondly, this is not a "new†finding. The Cochrane Collaboration published a research review of breast self-exam (BSE) in 2003 that came to the same conclusion. In fact, it was this review that led the American Cancer Society to update its own BSE recommendations and to call the exam optional.
The new Cochrane review assessed findings from two large population-based trials in Russia and Shanghai. In both studies, the researchers divided the women into two groups. One group was taught BSE. The other was not. The researchers followed both groups of women for about 10 years. The end result: There was no statistically significant difference in breast cancer mortality between the two groups.
The best study, led by Dr. David Thomas at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, was based in China, where women did not have routine access to mammography screening. In this study, one group of 133,000 women underwent intensive instruction in formal BSE. They also received two refresher courses. The second group of 133,000 women had no instruction in BSE. After 10 years, the researchers found there was no difference in deaths from cancers, size of tumors, or cancer stage at diagnosis between the two groups. The only difference was that the group doing formal BSE has more benign biopsies.
While this seems counterintuitive, the problem is mostly semantic. When a woman finds a cancer herself, she refers to that as BSE. When a researcher does a study they are talking about formal breast self exam, the kind that is shown on the videos and takes twenty minutes…the kind that most of us don't do. The women in the control group in the China study also found their own cancers, they just were not doing formal BSE.
What this means is that formal BSE is not better than the normal poking around that we all do.
So the answer is not to stop women from touching their breasts or to report any changes they might find to their doctors—although it appears that is what many women seemed to think the media were reporting. Rather, it means that women do not have to go on a search and destroy mission every month, and that they should not feel guilty if they do not do formal BSE. That's because the research shows that the normal poking around and casual touching that women do of their breasts, or the touching that their partners may do during sex, is as likely to find a cancerous lump as is BSE.
I think this finding angered so many women because women have been taught for years that BSE is something that they can do to "prevent' breast cancer. But BSE was never breast cancer "prevention.†By the time you can feel a lump, it's been there for some time.
We had hoped that BSE would find cancers early before they spread. This idea made sense when we believed that all breast cancers grew slowly until they reached a certain point and started to spread. But the new data suggests that there are many different kinds of breast cancer based on their DNA mutations, some of which grow very slowly and some of which grow quite fast. If you have a very fast growing and fast spreading one, mammography and BSE and physician exam will not make a difference. They also don't make much of a difference if you have a slow-growing tumor that may never spread. It's the middle group where mammography may have its biggest impact.
It's hard to let go of things we hold onto, especially something like BSE. We all know women who swear by it, who say that it was BSE that saved their lives. But as we learn more about cancer, and as we look at the research on BSE, we need to use this as an opportunity to examine what we've been taught about breast cancer and early detection.
What this review really points to is the need for breast cancer research to shift its focus from early detection to finding the cause of breast cancer and how to prevent it. That's the only way were going to truly be able to make a difference in this disease.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - The tailspin continues for the Birmingham Barons, who fell 9-2 tonight to the Tennessee Smokies before an announced crowd of 3,376 at Regions Field.
The loss is the Barons' ninth in their past 11 games and 16th in their most recent 21. The Barons haven't scored more than three runs in just over two weeks.
The top-hitting team in the Southern League did nothing to hurt that stat. The Smokies pounded out 17 hits with eight of those going for extra bases, including a home run by Arismend Alcantara.
The Smokies weren't retired in order all night. Catcher Rafael Lopez was the last Tennessee batter to get a hit, an RBI single in the ninth.
Trayce Thompson hit a solo shot for the Barons in the fourth. In the meantime, the Smokies scored at least one run in every inning from the second to the sixth and added on in the ninth.
Smokies Dae-Eun Rhee starter notched the win to push his record to 5-1. He went seven innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs, striking out three and walking one.
Barons starter Chris Beck (0-2) took the loss. He gave up 11 hits and six runs, five of them earned, while walking one and fanning three.
Tennessee leads the Southern League North Division with a 69-56 overall record, 35-21 in the second half. The second-place Barons fell to 71-56 overall and 27-30 in the second half, 8½ games behind the Smokies.
Birmingham will try to improve its fortunes in the third game of this homestand. Tuesday is UAB Night at Regions Field, which could bring a unique attendance mark.
The Barons are fewer than 5,000 shy of the record for highest attendance in the inaugural season of a new ballpark in the Southern League.

It's a line worthy of a children's story: "There was this rather ingenious RAF wing commander," Roald Dahl once penned, "which was me, you see."
But the author of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" wasn't writing fiction this time. When Jennet Conant's "The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington" commences, Roald Dahl is a slightly aimless young man of 23, without any thought of becoming a writer. A fascinating look into the unpredictable intersections of experience, ambition and friendships that can form the beginnings of an artist, "The Irregulars" explores both how Dahl stumbled into creating a first book and -- an altogether rarer feat -- picked himself up to write a second, a third and a 13th.
After a brief but heroic career as an RAF fighter pilot -- he miraculously survived a Greek campaign where German aircraft outnumbered the British by 60 to 1 -- Dahl was invalided and then assigned an embassy position in Washington in 1942. Always in his RAF uniform, the handsome and towering young man cut a dashing figure, and much of Conant's book covers Dahl's role in lobbying Washington's still-isolationist elite. But Dahl went beyond mere persuasion: he was also a spy for the shadowy British Security Co-Operative.
"All I can say," Dahl was informed by his recruiter, "is that if you join us, you mustn't be afraid of forgery, and you mustn't be afraid of murder."
He wasn't -- and Conant revels in Dahl's friends and colleagues, including such future fabulists as Bond author Ian Fleming and advertising maven David Ogilvy. Sworn to secrecy, they engaged in embassy break-ins, faked documents and a great deal of martini-sipping eavesdropping at Washington parties.
Ironically, Dahl's greatest success as a spy came not through any machinations, but from a children's book. Dahl stumbled into authorship almost by accident, not realizing the talent he possessed, by writing stirringly patriotic flyboy stories for magazines. Encouraged by friends and editors, Dahl went on in 1943 to draw upon his RAF experiences and his upbringing around his parents' Norwegian fairy tales to popularize the imps that RAF pilots liked to blame for mechanical troubles -- mythical creature known as Gremlins.
Eleanor Roosevelt was so delighted with "The Gremlins" that she invited Dahl to stay over at the Roosevelt's Hyde Park estate -- and British Intelligence was so delighted with all the eavesdropping he wired back that he made sure to keep getting invited. "The Irregulars" is particularly good at noting how Winston Churchill -- so utterly dependent on FDR's good graces -- often seemed to have better intelligence on Washington politics than the Americans did. With the 1944 election approaching, pollsters such as George Gallup showed Thomas Dewey perilously close to FDR. A secret telegram to London, however, insisted the polls were wrong: "MY CURRENT ANALYSES INDICATES VICTORY FOR FDR IN MINIMUM REPEAT MINIMUM OF 32 STATES ...." The professional pollsters were wrong; British intelligence was spot-on.
After the war, Dahl and his fellow spies found themselves at loose ends. His writing career wasn't much help, either. With the success of "The Gremlins" -- a movie option purchased by Disney, glowing review in the Times -- Dahl discovered a surprise that awaits all newly minted writers: publication only changes your life for a month or two. After that, the public moves on and the creditors move in. And rent, alas, cannot be paid with old review clippings. Soon Dahl was back to living with his mother in England, broke and spending his days tending livestock.
The story of how Dahl reinvented himself over the next decade into a beloved children's author is briefly limned by Conant and warrants a book in its own right. Dahl's wartime years were a minor chapter in a life encompassing The New Yorker, Hollywood screenwriting and such delights as "James and the Giant Peach." But "The Irregulars" gives unexpected insight into an obscure period that he drew upon in his darkly humorous work.
Dahl even came to appreciate his greatest apparent stumble as a spy: a report he filed in 1944 that the U.S. planned to plant a flag on the moon. Although it sounded like one of his many practical jokes, agent Dahl insisted -- much to the mirth of fellow operatives -- that the report was true. In 1969, the now-famous author received a telegram from his old spymaster.
"CONGRATULATIONS," it read. "YOU WERE RIGHT."

My favorite bits from Good Morning
This Thursday we went to Good Morning - an event hosted by the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship with focus on trends, innovation, and of course entrepreneurship. The event was a great experience and a well needed energy boost for us. Here are some quotes and take home messages from the event.
"Imagination and a smartphone is all you need." — Richard Scase on innovation and entrepreneurship.
"In big corporations innovation is often interpreted as critique." — Richard Scase on why big corporations are dead.
"50% of consumers use some sort of fitness technology." — Bonnier R&D talk on the quantified self.
Another really cool thing was to hear about Bonnier's new app Teemo which is being released in January. The goal with Teemo is to make fitness behaviors and behavior change more social. I think they will do this by incorporate data from popular services like Runkeeper, Jawbone UP and ZEO. I didn't get all the facts but this is basically one of our visions for Viary. We love digital tools that help you get feedback from our efforts and it's great to see that big companies like Bonnier see the potential in this field. To put it short: We're on the right track!
Thanks for the photos Kendra Williams!
