BAY CITY, MI — Dreams do come true as students at All Saints Central Middle School in Bay City presents Disney's "My Son Pinocchio: Geppetto's Musical Tale."
Or do they?
Thirty young thespians, under the direction of Tom Cole, are coming together to perform the classic fairy tale, which is based on the 2000 Disney made-for-television movie, "Geppetto," starring Drew Carey, and was originally written by Italian author Carlo Collodi and popularized by Walt Disney in his animated feature film in 1940.
The show hits the stage May 2-4 at the St. Hyacinth auditorium, 2306 S. Monroe St. on Bay City's East Side. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 2-3, and 3 p.m. Sunday, May 4.
Tickets are $10.
The story centers on Geppetto — played by seventh-grader Brett Greathouse — as he tries to convince the Blue Fairy — played by eighth-grader Lauryn Yonkey — that she has made a mistake by turning the wooden marionette Pinocchio (played by sixth-grader Caitlyn McIngvale — into a real boy. You see, in this version of the story, Geppetto does not like the way Pinocchio has turned out and wants his original wish reversed.
The Blue Fairy, who never makes mistakes, reluctantly agrees to consider his request by reversing time to go back where it all began to see if Pinocchio will be saved from the evils of Pleasure Island and Monstro the Whale or go back to his original wooden state.
Several new characters help Geppetto with this dilemma, including a group of Fairies in Training — eighth-graders Erin Emmrich, Brooklyn Flores and Nicole Wolfe and seventh-grader Emily Huiskens — and Professor Buonragazzo — eighth-grader Asha Calahan — and his son, Junior — eight-grader Viktoria Carr — who, with a flip of a switch, can manufacture the perfect child, "Satisfaction Guaranteed."
"The score is a lot of fun and the book contains a poignant message about parenting," said Tom Cole.
Tickets for the show are available at All Saints Central Middle School, 217 S. Monroe St.; The Sweet Boutique, 816 Washington Ave.; and at the door.

Asthma is one of the leading chronic childhood diseases.[vi] The symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, chest pains, and lack of sleep, all of which negatively influence children's quality of life and limit their activities.[vii]
While asthma is a controllable disease, poorly managed asthma can result in emergency-room visits, school absence for children, missed work for parents, and high health care costs. Figure 2 shows that, in addition to low birth weight, children who were ever homeless between ages one and five were more likely to have asthma at age five than at-risk or stably housed children. Approximately 17% of stably housed and at-risk children had asthma, while 23% of ever-homeless children suffered from the condition. Although the exact cause of asthma is unknown, research has linked the disease to environmental and behavioral factors related to housing instability (see "In Context: Poverty and Health").
Health Care Utilization
Lacking a regular source of health care is detrimental to child health and often results in unnecessary expenditures. Children who have regular doctors and dentists are less likely to experience serious illness and to use hospital emergency rooms for health care than those who do not (see "In Context: Poverty and Health Care Utilization," page 3). Housing instability threatens routine and preventive care; as Figure 3 shows, ever-homeless mothers reported almost double the rate of hospital emergency-room visits of their stably housed counterparts during the focal children's first year (1.6 vs. 0.9 visits).
Figure 4 reveals that children who ever experienced homelessness received dental care less often than stably housed children. While 86% of stably housed children and 82% of children at risk of homelessness had seen dentists in the past year at age five, only 76% of ever-homeless children had received oral care. Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children, and oral health care ranks as the greatest unmet child health need.[ix]
Lack of appropriate dental care can lead to pain, infections, sleep deprivation, dysfunctional speech, and compromised learning and growth and result in missed school for children, absence of work for parents, and costly emergency room visits.[x]
There are clear differences in health status between children who experience housing instability and those who maintain stable housing. Children of unstably housed mothers have low birth weight more often than their stably housed peers. Children who ever experienced homelessness are more likely to have asthma and to visit emergency rooms than those who are stably housed. Ever-homeless children also visit dentists less frequently than those who are stably housed. These results suggest that the health of children who experience housing instability is compromised from an early stage.
Differences in maternal health and behaviors contribute to this child health disparity. Health policy targeting poor and residentially unstable populations should include education and outreach campaigns that focus on primary and preventive care as well as disease management. The needs of this group should be made part of the existing national discussion over expanding insurance coverage and improving access to high-quality pediatric and dental care.
The snapshot of poor families presented in this brief reveals distinct differences in health outcomes and health care utilization by housing status. Future topics explored in this series will include differences in maternal and child characteristics by race and nativity.
In Context Poverty and Health Care Utilization
Inadequate and inconsistent health care is harmful to child health and expensive for families and society. Children who have continuous primary care or a fixed source of medical attention are more likely to receive preventive care and adhere to prescribed medication and less likely to visit emergency rooms or be hospitalized.[xi] Primary pediatric care, including routine and preventive attention, is the most cost-efficient and effective option for improving health outcomes. Up to half of all emergency-room visits, which contribute greatly to public health care costs, are avoidable with improved access to primary care.[xii] Poor child health also strains family resources and has the potential to precipitate housing instability by pushing poor families deeper into poverty.[xiii]
Health insurance is not the primary differentiating factor in health care utilization: most poor and homeless children are publicly insured through Medicaid.[xiv] While provision of health insurance is necessary, it is not sufficient to maintain good health and does not guarantee appropriate care. Unavailability of providers, inability to make copayments, transportation costs, and foregone earnings may lead to lower utilization among children in lower-income families.
Poor parents may lack knowledge about the importance of child health conditions, especially oral health and dental services.[xv] Further, Medicaid-participation rates, specifically among dentists, are low nationwide. Dental providers may be discouraged from treating Medicaid patients due to low reimbursement rates and administrative requirements.
[vii] Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder characterized by attacks of impaired breathing. A child was categorized as having asthma at age five if his/her mother reported one or more of the following: that a medical professional had diagnosed the child with asthma, that the child had an asthma attack in the past 12 months, or if the child had required emergency/urgent care for asthma in the past 12 months.

What has angered Muslims in Afghanistan, leading to the protests?
Florida pastor Terry Jones, who made news in September when he threatened to burn a Koran, had faded into the background. On March 20, Jones and his small congregation "put the Koran on trial" and concluded by burning a copy, although there was little notice then.
Jones, 59, had considered the possibility that burning the text might elicit a violent response and that innocent people might be killed. In his characteristic drawl -- a slow-motion delivery that seems incongruous with the church's fiery rhetoric -- the pastor said the church also debated whether to shred the book, shoot it or dunk it in water instead of burning it. He has been accused by those who intervened in September of breaking his promise not to burn the Koran -- a point he concedes. "If you want to be technical," he said, "I guess we broke our word." He added, "We thought twice about it." But in the end, his desire to shed light on what he calls a "dangerous book" won out. The Koran was burned in a spectacle streamed live on the Internet. To reach out to Muslims overseas, Jones included Arabic subtitles. (Washington Post)President Barack Obama says Jones is wrong to burn the Koran, but he condemns the Afghan protesters' reaction, calling the killings of U.N. staff "outrageous."
President Obama says desecration of any holy text is an act of "extreme intolerance and bigotry," but it does not justify killing people. A UN official says the blame belongs squarely with Jones.
Earlier, the head of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (Unama), Staffan de Mistura, said during a visit to Mazar-e Sharif that the only person who could be blamed for the violence was the American pastor. "I don't think we should be blaming any Afghan. We should be blaming the person who produced the news - the one who burned the Koran. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from offending culture, religion, traditions." (BBC)
Muslims have many rules for handling the Koran, so Jones' actions are considered very offensive by Islamic believers.
Meanwhile, Jones remains defiant about burning the Koran and says he plans to protest in front of an Islamic center in Dearborn, Mich., on April 22, Good Friday. Both Christian and Muslim leaders in Dearborn want him to stay away.
So far, even in the light of recent events, Jones shows no signs he will (stay away). In a statement he voiced not a hint of backing down and a staggering lack of self-awareness. "Muslim dominated countries can no longer be allowed to spread their hate against Christians and minorities," Jones stated. (Mail & Guardian, London)
"It's important that the world and nation know that this particular individual and these actions are not representative of our community," Lowe said. In a statement, the mayor wrote: "I condemn the violence in Afghanistan and any hateful actions of Terry Jones and his followers that may have provoked that violence. The thoughts and prayers of our community are with those injured and killed, as well as their families and loved ones." (Gainesville Sun)

Bad Girls Antiques celebrates 20 years of originality
NORTH BEND - No doctors or licensed therapists actually work at Bad Girls Antiques, but for 20 years the people there have been dishing out a winning prescription.
Known locally for its logo "Retail Therapy for the Wayward Woman," this treasure of an antique shop located at 42901 S.E. North Bend Way in North Bend has a rich history worth the intrigue of its name.
Joanne Marie Klein originally purchased North Bend Secondhand with her husband Brian Suttie. Klein, a native of Virginia, originally came to the Snoqualmie Valley with no interest in antiques.
After the purchase, Suttie managed the shop while Klein continued to work full-time at a commercial photography company. When that endeavor went out of business, Klein made the move into the unknown realm of antiques and collectables. She would become more involved in the fate of the business than she ever imagined.
A divorce ended her marriage but sparked something inside of Klein. With a newfound attitude toward the antique business, Klein decided about eight years ago that she wanted to take the business to the community with new vigor. It was a feeling she was experiencing in her personal life as well.
"After the divorce and the decision to go completely antique in business, my behavior at the time led to the name of my business," Klein said.
Diane Chrisopherson, a faithful business partner and employee of Klein's, dismissed the name Bad Cats Antiques and Bad Girls became a legend.
Klein's initial distaste for antiques stemmed from her childhood.
"As a child I hated antiques. I was completely uninterested and became bored with the thought of it because bottle collecting was very common when I was young," she said.
As an adult, Klein realized the vastness and wonder of the antique business, which has helped establish Bad Girls Antiques as one of the the best shops on the Eastside.
What makes Bad Girls Antiques different, Klein said, is a completely different approach that could be considered unique not only for a local store, but for antique businesses throughout the state.

Final: Ducks 3, Devils 2, OT
• Jaromir Jagr worked some late magic to help the Devils at least get a point in their 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks, who are second in the Western Conference. The Devils' leading scorer, Jagr made a beautiful setup that led to a game-tying, power-play goal 14:58 into the third period by Andy Greene. Jagr skated in on the right-wing side with the puck, then made a perfect backhand pass past three Ducks defenders to Greene, who scored from the slot for a 2-2 tie.
• The Devils' penalty killing, 6th best in the NHL heading into Friday, did the job again killing off all 4 Anaheim power plays. Defensemen Andy Greene and Anton Volchenkov each were on the ice for more than 5 minutes of the Ducks' 8 minutes in power plays.
• Adam Henrique stole the puck after the Devils lost a faceoff in their end, then made a pretty pass from the lower left circle to the slot to set up a wide open Michael Ryder, who buried a shot past Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller 4:15 into the second period for a 1-0 Devils lead.
• The Devils had lots of zone time in the early going and held Anaheim without a shot on goal until 9:41 into the game.
• RW Michael Ryder scored the Devils' first goal, his fifth in his last 9 games after beginning the season with 5 in his first 27.
• Cory Schneider made a big save on Anaheim sniper Cory Perry halfway through the first. Perry entered the game third in the league with 22 goals, but was held to three shots and no points.
• Schneider let in the winning goal 2:37 into overtime on a wraparound by Kyle Palmieri, a Jersey native who set up the Ducks' second goal and was named the game's No. 1 star.
• Schneider, who was victimized by a bad break on the Ducks' second goal, nevertheless stopped just 21 of 24 shots and fell to 4-7-5 in 16 starts.
• With the game tied 1-1 in the third period, Palmieri skated around Devils D Marek Zidlicky near the right circle in the New Jersey end, then flipped the puck weakly toward the goal. It ended being batted into the net by Ducks F Mathieu Perreault after caroming off the right skate and then the left of Devils rookie D Eric Gelinas.
• Gelinas was one the ice for all three Anaheim goals and finished with a minus-3 in 16:41 of ice time.
• The Devils led 1-0 late in the second, but ended up losing 2-1 to miss a chance for their second three-game winning streak of the season and even their record.
• Stephen Gionta, a center, lost a faceoff in the Devils zone cleanly to Teemu Selanne, a winger, and two passes later Anaheim had the game tied 1-1 on a slapshot from the top of the left circle by defenseman Cam Fowler, his 4th.
• The Devils had a terrible night on draws, losing 60 of 100 faceoffs. The biggest culprits were No. 1 center Travis Zajac, who dropped 14 of 23, and Patrik Elias, who won 5 of 16.
• RW Michael Ryder and C Adam Henrique hit posts on great scoring chances in the first period.
• RW Damien Brunner, entering the night with 4 goals in his last 4 games, suffered a lower-body injury in the first period that ended his night. The Devils offered no update after the game other than saying Brunner was being checked out medically.
• Schneider was whistled for delay of game in the first period, his second minor penalty of the season and his career.
• Devils coach Pete DeBoer made a game-time decision to play F Tim Sestito on the fourth line instead of F Cam Janssen, who had dressed 10 games in a row. Sestito was a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game against Ottawa after playing 7 in a row following a call-up from the AHL.
• The Devils begin a two-game, Washington-to-Chicago roadtrip Saturday night. They're 3-1-3 in the second half of back-to-backs.
• Henrique has 2 assists in his last 2 games after a stretch in which he had no goals and 1 assist in 6 games.

MADISON HEIGHTS -- The first indication Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand might have a tough sell if the team selects Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford instead of Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft happened moments before he stepped to the podium Monday afternoon to reveal the team's new fiercer logo and script lettering.
He barely had begun speaking to several hundred fans jammed into a suburban Dunham's Sports store when the public referendum occurred.
"Cur-ry! Cur-ry!" the fans chanted.
It wasn't so much a plea, though. It felt more like an eruption.
The second time it happened, Lewand, attempting a bit of sarcasm, told the audience: "I'm gonna pretend that sounded like Bar-ry!" Not much laughter.
The third time it happened, it just got louder and louder.
Lewand, not learning his lesson the first time, tried to silence the support for Curry by stepping to the microphone and offering up the name of offensive tackle Jason Smith, another possible candidate for the top pick.
No laughter, period.
After a moment of silence passed, the fans made sure one last time that Lewand and every other member of the Lions staff in attendance heard them:
"Don't draft Staf-ford!"
You look at Internet polls, read message boards, listen to the radio, and it comes through loud and clear that Curry is the people's choice to lead the metamorphosis from an 0-16 laughingstock into a team respected for a change.
"Hey, the fans know what they want," said Lions outside linebacker Ernie Sims, whose eyes lit up at the prospect of having Curry as a teammate. "If we draft him, I'll be more than happy to see him out there playing beside me."
Curry is, in fact, everything the franchise needs.
The 6-foot-2, 254-pound Curry is a sure tackler with 4.56-second speed in the 40-yard dash -- fastest of all linebackers at the NFL scouting combine in February -- and is regarded by most experts as the best all-around talent and "safest" pick in the draft.
He also appears to have impeccable character.
So far, with all the scrutinizing that happens in the pre-draft process, no one has found anything bad to say about him. There doesn't seem to be an ounce of Terrell Owens, Plaxico Burress or Jay Cutler in him.
It's not just lip service, either.
After he had been invited to attend the draft proceedings, Curry surprised 12-year-old leukemia survivor Bryson Merriweather at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., last week with an offer to join him in New York. The former youth football tight end from Madison, Ala., will spend Saturday afternoon seated at Curry's table along with Curry's mother, fiancee and siblings.
The clincher, though, for Lions fans happened this week.
Curry told NFL.com's Pat Kirwan on his Sirius radio show Tuesday he would accept a discounted deal from the Lions -- less than the $57.5 million ($30 million guaranteed) that former University of Michigan offensive lineman Jake Long signed for as the No. 1 pick of the Miami Dolphins last year.
He even reportedly has agreed to terms with the Lions.
In the meantime, Lewand and general manager Martin Mayhew imposed a Friday deadline for getting Stafford to agree to terms -- perhaps at a discount, too -- or they would threaten to get Curry's signature on a contract before the draft.
It tells us a couple things about the Lions.
The all-or-nothing pick, Stafford, is Lewand's and Mayhew's first choice regardless of popular sentiment. The safe pick, Curry, who embraces the challenge of resurrecting the NFL's bottom-ranked defense, is treated as a consolation prize.
If it's so close between them, why not play it safe?
In his remarks to fans Monday, Lewand stressed the importance of the updated logo and script lettering being "tougher" and more reflective of the "transformation" under way within the organization to give the fans a team that makes them proud.
It seems to me that Curry has all those qualities, and more.

Bonney Lake High sophomore drowns in Lake Tapps
On-scene reporting from Brian Beckley.
The last day of school ended in tragedy Thursday with the drowning death of a Bonney Lake High School student.
Sixteen-year-old Quentin Boggan was with friends on the Allan Yorke park dock when he fell into the water. Witnesses on scene said he was underwater for 3-5 minutes before being pulled shoreside.
Bystanders began CPR before East Piece Fire and Rescue arrived on scene to continue resuscitation. Rescue workers were able to regain a pulse, and the boy was attempting to breathe on his own when he was transported to St. Joseph's Medical Center in Tacoma. He died shortly thereafter.
Boggan had just finished his freshman year of high school.
A fellow student wrote on his Tumblr page: "This afternoon my school lost a life. The last day of school is supposed to be a happy and fun time and it was until we learned that Quentin Boggan was pronounced dead at teh hospital after nearly drowning in the lake near my house. I didn't know him very well, but the death hits me hard. It was his last day of his freshman year, there aren't many details, but he and his saddened family will be in my thoughts and prayers."
More details as they arrive.

Some parents are upset that strapless dresses have been banned from an eighth-grade dance at Readington Middle School and plan to take their dress code protest to the school board tonight.
Charlotte Nijenhuis, a mother of a student, told the Courier News of Bridgewater that she spoke to the Readington Middle School principal, who told her such dresses distract boys.
Nijenhuis says it's neither a woman's nor a girl's responsibility to control a man's or boy's behavior.
The board meeting is at 7:30 tonight at Holland Brook School, 52 Readington Road, Whitehouse Station.

Joke Issue
Due to their stellar record of dropping boxes, Princeton's student-run Moving and Storage Agency is nearing a major acquisition deal with San Francisco-based file storage service Dropbox, sources intimately familiar with the negotiations confirmed Thursday.
But one potential roadblock remains, according to a Dropbox source who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the negotiations. Dropbox is apparently "very concerned" about the recent decline in the number of lost item claims filed by Moving and Storage Agency customers.
"Our Board of Directors will need to be convinced that these kids will be true Dropboxers, and the record isn't looking good," the source said. "I mean, they only damaged four items last year, and didn't even lose any. They're clearly not dropping enough boxes."
In previous years, the Moving and Storage Agency received anywhere from 10 to 20 lost items claims.
"That's what really got them on our radar," the source said. "Losing 10 to 20 items? That's a lot of boxes being dropped. When we read that, a lot of us really thought they had what it takes to work here."
But Moving and Storage Agency Director Calec Crush '14 appeared confident about the deal's prospects when reached for comment on a Saturday night in Cottage.
"Suck it, USG!" he screamed.
The acquisition is a clear step up from the Agency's previous attempt to merge with the USG's Summer Storage Coalition.
"Our goal is to just make sure the service is of high quality and at a reasonable cost for students," USG president Shawon Jackson '15 said. "Dropping boxes? That sounds like the exact opposite of what you'd want from a storage agency."
"Nonsense," Dropbox spokesperson Ana Andreescu said in a statement.
"We here at Dropbox are experts at storing items, albeit digital ones. However, we believe dropping boxes is the best strategy to go about storing items in the physical world as well. We look forward to welcoming the Moving and Storage Agency onto our team, as they share the values of true Dropboxers," Andreescu said.
The acquisition will expand the funding available to the agency, which has found its resources taxed due to over-enrollment in the Class of 2016. With recent comments by President Christopher Eisgruber '83 suggesting the size of the student body may increase in the near future, the agency determined now would be the best time to prepare.
"We want to make sure we're prepared to drop every student's boxes, no matter how many that may be in the future," Crush said.

Since its opening in 2010, NOLA City Bark is continually recognized as a model dog park in the Greater New Orleans area. In fact, it's one of the most popular destinations for canines and their human companions seeking an enjoyable and safe outing at the beginning, middle or end of the day.
On Aug. 24, NOLA City Bark will hold its bi-annual 101 Donations fund-raising event to bring additional enhancements and improvements to the park. "South of the Border" is the theme of the event, which will be held from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Arbor Room in City Park. The Arbor Room is located across the street from NOLA City Bark and adjacent to Popp's Fountain. Co-chaired by Nola City Bark founder Jackie Shreves and board member Sue Guarisco, the fund-raiser will feature music by The Fleas and The Prescriptions, a silent auction and raffle, food from City Park Catering, and a variety of delectable desserts and libations.
The goal is to raise $60,000 for various structural improvements including the addition of a walkway and gazebo in the small dog area, as well as upgrades/repairs to waste cans, sod and sand pit areas in both small and large dog areas.
"The dog park's annual permit fee does cover weekly maintenance costs," said Shreves. "101 Donations ... pays for general wear and tear in addition to a variety of needed upgrades. The pups keep us busy."
The auction items feature an assortment of items including a Steve Martin wire sculpture, jewelry, vacation packages, and a variety of gift baskets and certificates for restaurants, fashion, fitness and beauty services for humans and canines, and the ever-popular Blue Dog print.
In celebration of the theme, suggested attire is fiesta-themed or dressy casual.
In addition to ticket purchases, people can support the event by becoming a sponsor and have a 'dog' or 'bone' bearing their name, placed on the dog park fence. Tickets range from $101 per person to various sponsorship levels ($500 to $5,000). For more information, and to purchase tickets, go to www.nolacitybark.org, or call/visit the dog park office, 504.483.9377, 1 Palm Drive in City Park, daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please note that the event is for two-legged patrons only.

ROLFE - Decades after the last students left, rows of old wooden desks still fill the dark interior of the Roosevelt No. 7 School.
Chalkboards upon which young scholars once scratched out mathematics problems cover the walls, and an upright piano sits near the front of the lone classroom.
The schoolhouse in Rolfe's Streit Park is a monument to an old method of education in rural Pocahontas County, but community leaders want to get the building cleaned up so that it can be a site for special events. Next year's 150th anniversary of the city's founding is providing increased incentive to complete the job.

Three rows of antique desks fill much of the space inside the lone classroom of the Roosevelt No. 7 School at Rolfe's Streit Park, along with an upright piano. Community leaders are working to restore the 1920s-era building so that it can be the site of meetings and special events. The building was moved to the park from its original rural location in 1979.
"Our objective is to get it restored and have it open for visitors," said Glenn Markley, a Rolfe resident involved in the effort.
That initiative got a boost recently when the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs awarded Rolfe Enrichment a $4,000 grant. That money will help pay for some windows designed to look like the ones that were in place when the school was in use.
Markley said some needed roof repairs will be done within the next two to three weeks.
The school, built in the early 1920s, was originally southwest of Rolfe in rural Roosevelt Township. Children in first through eighth grades attended class there.
After its days as a school ended, the part of the building that once held coal or corn cobs to fuel the stove was used as a grain bin.
The school was donated to the Rolfe Park Commission in 1979 by the Frances Sefcik family, which owned the property the building was on. The plan at that time was to have the Rolfe Lions Club restore it. However, the restoration did not happen as planned.
"It was brought in with the best of intentions," Markley said. ''Hopefully, we can get reinvigorated and make it a usable facility in our town."
Once it's completed, the building may be used for history presentations and civic club meetings.

I'm sure I have my numbers off a bit, but as I recall, most A/B pax aircraft are pressurized to the same air pressure that you'd experience if you were standing on a mountain about 8000' high. And I seem to recall that one of the 787's selling points was that it would allow a higher interior pressurization, equivalent to an altitude of about 7,000'.
Someone recently told me that these number had changed recently and that all pax aircraft are now pressurized to a greater pressure than they were a few years ago. Frankly I'm very skeptical of this but figured I'd ask here since you all are sure to know.

Arctic Blast, Snowpocalypse, The Storm of the Century...whatever name it goes by, the series of triple storm threats hitting the Portland/Vancouver metro area since last Sunday have certainly thrown local families for a loop! I grew up here and have never seen this much snow, much less accumulating all within a week!
So what's a Portland parent to do when you, your partner, your pets and your kids are all hunkered down in the same space (are these walls closing in? is our home suddenly smaller?) for so long? If you can dig your way out, as we were finally able to do, and get to the main streets, here are a few of my favorite places that have let me know they are open during Arctic Blast/Snowpocalypse/Storm of the Century:
If you've read this blog, you know I adore this place. From it's sustainable practices to its open kids space to its tasty brews and eats, I adore it from head to toe. And they're open! Not only that, but they've opened a keg of their Cask Bourbon Barrel Aged DOA just to help you weather the storm with a smile. I wonder if they have a couch on which I can crash... Be sure to call them at 503-232-4677 or check out their site before heading over to double check their hourswww.hopworksbeer.com
The fabulous ladies of Noble Rot want you to know that they are open as well and invite you to warm up with one of their amazing wines and wonderful nibbles. This is one of my favorite wine bars in Portland, and if you're able to get away for an adults only night out (I wouldn't bring the kids here, dear friends), then this is a great place to cozy up and regain your senses from the insanity at home.
Looking to get that last minute shopping done? Black Wagon at 3964 N. Mississippi is open! From Small Paul attire to Vans shoes, they've got the hippest clothing for your little trendsters. They're also super cool people who will make you smile and brighten your day during this crazy storm. Call 866-916-0004 or visit www.blackwagon.com
Preparing for a storm means loading up the pantry with lots of chocolate - around 4 pounds, if you live in my household. But if you've exhausted your sweets supply or just need to get a good candy fix go check out Sweets Etc in Multnomah Village. They've got chocolates and candy gifts for you and all of those last-minute gifts! 7828 SW Capitol HWY, Portland. www.sweetsetc.com.
More than ever, please remember to call ahead to any of the above mentioned businesses to be sure they are open before you make the trip! Stay safe out there, and happy holidays!

AT&T will be the exclusive service provider in the United States for PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), Sony Computer Entertainment's (SCE) next generation portable entertainment system. The PlayStation Vita system offers a combination of rich gaming capabilities and social connectivity that will bring users closer to each other and closer to their gaming experiences wherever they are.
Blurring the lines between interactive entertainment and reality, PS Vita provides unparalleled portable gaming experiences with dual analog sticks, front and rear cameras, front multi-touch display, multi-touch rear pad, GPS, six-axis motion sensors, and three-axis electronic compass. The speed and coverage of AT&T's mobile broadband network will ensure that PS Vita users will remain connected to content and each other on the go. PlayStation Vita customers with an AT&T service plan will also have free access at more than 24,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide.
"AT&T's mobile broadband network excels at delivering data with high speeds nationwide, which is what we need for powering the social and connectivity features built into the PlayStation Vita portable entertainment system," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America. "PlayStation Vita will give users the opportunity to engage and connect with one another while delivering the kind of rich and immersive gaming experiences unimaginable on any other portable device on the market today."
"AT&T consumers are accustomed to being the first to have access to the most cutting-edge mobile technologies available on the market today," said Glenn Lurie, president, emerging devices, AT&T. "We are thrilled to continue this legacy as the exclusive provider for PlayStation Vita in the U.S. market. By pairing the nation's fastest mobile broadband network and the nation's largest Wi-Fi network with this highly anticipated portable gaming device, PlayStation Vita users will experience a new era of portable gaming that will connect their entertainment and their lives more closely than ever."
AT&T wireless connectivity will enable infinite possibilities for PlayStation Vita users to "encounter," "connect," "discover," "share" and "play" with friends on the go. Within the device are a range of social networking features that provide unique, next generation portable entertainment experiences, including a new application called "near" and an interactive interface called "LiveArea."
Developed specifically for PlayStation Vita and pre-installed on each system, "near" will allow users to find out what other PS Vita users in their vicinity are currently playing and what titles are most popular in the area. Users can meet with friends and new players virtually - regardless of what games they are playing - simply by sharing their game information across PlayStation®Network on the go via AT&T's mobile network, or when they're at a Wi-Fi hotspot. "Near" also enables location-based gaming features such as "gifting," in which a user can access virtual game-related items that other users are sharing, through checking in at geographic locations that others have also visited. The virtual items can include content unlocked from games, such as character costumes, weapons and treasures. Sharing these items between users adds a unique dimension to the portable gaming experience on PlayStation Vita while enhancing the social connectivity among the PS Vita community.
"LiveArea" is an interactive space for each PlayStation Vita software title in which users can access the latest information for games through PlayStation Network. Additionally, users will be able to view an "Activity" log that is constantly updated with accomplishments from users who are playing the same game, which in turn can trigger active real-time communication among users. The AT&T wireless network will enable "LiveArea" users to connect to their games on the go.
The PlayStation Vita system will have both Wi-Fi and 3G/Wi-Fi models in the US for $249 and $299, respectively. Additional details about AT&T data plans and pricing will be announced later.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cavaliers center Tyler Zeller had an appendectomy Friday at the Cleveland Clinic after he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. He remains hospitalized and there is no timetable, yet, for his return, the team said in a release.
Zeller was in Cleveland instead of with the team in Orlando on Friday for the preseason game against the Magic because he was rehabilitating a left hip flexor strained, suffered a week earlier in the Cavaliers' intrasquad scrimmage.
The 7-foot second-year player averaged 7.9 points and 5.7 rebounds last season.

As trade unionists, anti-cuts campaigners and health workers demonstrate in protest at planned health reforms, Lord Owen warns that the NHS could be unrecognisable in 10 years' time.
Please wait while this video loads. If it doesn't load after a few seconds you may need to have Adobe Flash installed.
The "block the bridge" protest was described ahead of the event as a "spectacular act of mass civil disobedience".
The location of the protest was symbolic: Westminster Bridge links one of London's biggest hospitals, St Thomas's, and the Houses of Parliament where peers will debate the NHS reforms.
The controversial health and social care bill is due to go before the House of Lords on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, ahving made it through the Commons after some redrafting.
The government says the bill would open up the NHS to "healthy competition", equalling more power to the patient and better care.
Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham said the bill "unpicks the fabric of the NHS, takes the 'N' out of the NHS and turns it into a free-for-all, a huge postcode lottery".
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union, said: "The government's health and social care bill represents the gravest threat to the NHS, one of our nation"s finest achievements, since its foundation."
Last week more than 400 experts sent an open letter to the House of Lords urging peers to vote against the bill. Dr David McCoy, associate director of public health for inner north west London, told Channel 4 News their concerns were prompted by fears about the commercialisation of the NHS in England.
"It means opening up the private sector to the market by making everything provided to the NHS subject to competition," he said.
But Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, addressing the Conservative Party conference in Manchester last Tuesday, said he would never preside over a health service that was "fragmented, privatised or undermined".

'Unrecognisable' in 10 years' time
Crossbench peer Lord Owen, who is a doctor, told Channel 4 News that if the health and social care bill was passed, the NHS would be "unrecognisable" in 10 years' time. He said the bill was far more far-reaching than people understand.
"The NHS stands for some ethical and altruistic elements in society," he said.
(The bill) effectively will mean that there will be a commercialisation of the health service. Lord Owen
Lord Owen conceded that the Lords could not wreck the bill and could only aspire to improve it. But he warned that as the bill stood, the health secretary was "abdicating from practically every power".
He said the NHS was "overall understood to be under democratic control - there is answerability, and people have to look to parliament. And by and large, parliament has protected the national health service."
He continued: "It is privatisation... It effectively will mean that there will be a commercialisation of the health service, and the values will be that of the market."

Pickens Archery Team headed back to national tourney
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources sponsors the Archery in the Schools Program for all fourth through 12th graders in West Virginia.
WVAIS is part of the National Archery in the Schools Program, which teaches students "target archery" skills.
Three years ago, Pickens School started the program under the direction of coach John Parsons and has had great success.
Each year, Pickens has had archers qualify at the state tournament to participate in the National NASP Archery Tournament held in Louisville, Ky.
The 2013-2014 school year has been no exception.
The Pickens Archery Team attended the ninth annual State Archery in the Schools Tournament at the Charleston Civic Center on March 29. All 13 archers, ranging from fourth through 12th grade, were able to shoot at the event due to qualifying as a high school team in the state virtual
Qualifying teams must have 12 to 24 members (with four of the opposite gender) in each division. The divisions are elementary ( fourth and fifth graders), middle school (sixth through eight grade), and high school (ninth through 12th grade).
If a school does not have 12 to 24 archers in a specific division, they are allowed to group students together from each division, but archer must "shoot up" to the highest grade of the archers.
Before this year, Pickens School has had less than 12 archers on the team. But for the 2013-2014 school year, the team had 13 members with four elementary, five middle school and four high school archers.
To qualify for the state tournament, each school in West Virginia must participate in a virtual tournament. During the second annual 2014 WV Virtual Archery Tournament, Pickens School qualified fifth in the state as a high school team and was able to have all 13 members shoot at the state tournament.

WYCKOFF — Two pets died and three people were treated for smoke inhalation in a two-alarm house fire on Monroe Avenue early Sunday, a township fire official said.
Firefighters rushed to the scene, near High Street, shortly before 3:30 a.m. and found flames shooting from the second floor front and left side windows, according to Assistant Chief Tim Brock of the Wyckoff Fire Department.
The flames were brought under control about 30 minutes later, Brock said. The three residents suffered smoke inhalation, but were later released from the hospital.
Brock said two pets were killed. It was not clear what kind of animals.
The blaze was ruled accidental, but the specific cause could not be determined, he added.
Mutual aid fire crews from towns including Ramsey and Mahwah also assisted in the township.

The best way to deal with sports injuries is to keep them from happening in the first place. Think of avoiding injury as just another part of playing by the rulebook. Knowing the rules of the game you're playing and using the right equipment can go a long way toward preventing injuries.
Common reasons why teens get injured playing sports include:
There are two kinds of sports injuries:
If you think you've been injured, pull yourself out the game or stop doing your activity or workout. Let a coach or parent know what happened in case you need to see a doctor.
Call a doctor when:
You can get a sports injury anywhere on your body. Here are some key points to know about common sports injuries.
Serious head and neck injuries happen most often in athletes who play contact sports (like football or rugby) or sports with the potential for falling accidents, such as horseback riding and gymnastics.
Head injuries include fractures, concussions, contusions (bruises), and hematomas. A hematoma is bleeding or pooling of blood in or around the brain caused by an impact to the head from a fall, forceful shaking of the head, or a blow to the head.
Neck injuries include strains, sprains, fractures, burners, and whiplash, which is an injury to the neck caused by an abrupt jerking motion of the head. Neck injuries are among the most dangerous sports injuries.
Never try to move someone who may have a neck injury. A mishandled neck fracture could lead to permanent paralysis or even death. Keep the injured person still with his or her head held straight while someone calls for emergency medical help. If the person is lying on the ground, do not try to move him or her.
Most back injuries are caused by twists or overexertion of back muscles during bending or lifting movements. Back injuries are most common in contact sports like football and ice hockey, or in weightlifting, rowing, golf, figure skating, gymnastics, and dancing.
Injuries to the sex organs usually affect guys more than girls because the penis and testicles are outside the body and are more exposed. Injuries to the uterus or ovaries are rare, but breast injuries are a common complaint among teen girls. As the breasts develop, they often can be sore, and a blow from a softball or a collision during field hockey can be painful.
Hand, finger, and wrist injuries can happen after things like a fall that forces the hand or fingers backward, or a direct blow. As with other injuries, hand and wrist injuries are most common in contact sports, such as football, lacrosse, and hockey, or in sports like gymnastics, field hockey, rowing, and basketball where the fingers, hands, and wrists are at risk.
Feet and ankles are particularly vulnerable to injury in sports that involve a lot of running. Another reason for foot injuries is wearing the wrong shoes, especially if someone has flat feet, high arches, or other foot differences.
Your first question after a sports injury will probably be, "When can I play again?" This depends on the injury and what your doctor tells you. Even if you can't return to your sport right away, a doctor or physical therapist might have suggestions and advice on what you can do to stay fit. Always check with your doctor before trying any activity following an injury.
A rehabilitation program also can help you stay fit as you recover. If rehabilitation ("rehab" for short) is part of your treatment program it might include exercise, manual therapy from a physical therapist, and ultrasound or other technology to help relieve pain and promote healing.
When you've recovered, you might need new protective gear to protect an injured body part. This can include modified shoes, tape to provide extra support, or additional padding to protect against a direct blow.
To help prevent reinjury, be sure to warm up before practice and games. Take it slow when you first get back to your sport and gradually build back up to your preinjury level.
Most importantly, know your limits. Check in with your body: if a previously injured area (or any body part) begins to hurt, stop right away and rest. Get help from a doctor if the pain continues. Pain is your body's way of saying something isn't right.

@middleagespread: What ugly faces.
***Before anyone starts ragging about my post, let me beat you to the punch…
"TOQs. Always negative".
Oh, here's another; "Jealous much?".
Maybe one more; "Try going to the gym once in a while".
All wrong. I'm not fond of that I-just-put-my-mouth-in-a-vacuum-hose-trying-to-appear-rough/sexy look.
Eff it. Tracy, you're just a bit*h today…!
…spoils it that they don't look like they're havin' any fun…jeez…
Tracy, I think what you meant is you don't like their facial expressions. I get that. These are very handsome men, though. They're not ugly at all. The photographer might have directed them better.
@Tracy Pope: only 1 guy has a face that isn't great. all of them have great bodies.
@throwslikeagirl: @middleagespread:
That is my point. I think they have great bodies. The expression, NOT their actual facial features, is what I am referring to.
There are a few models I've seen that this seems to be their go-to facial expression. The guy with the beard does it a lot but not always. It always strikes me as the face of a fearful man.
Oh dear, that almost sounds like another regular on here who has had many aliases…

Your Westmont
By Scott Craig
From Fire Storm to Storming the Field
Dave Wolf, Westmont head men's soccer coach, has already begun creating new memories after losing his home in the Tea Fire. Less than four days after his family's home in the Las Barrancas neighborhood was reduced to ashes, Wolf led the Warriors to a stunning 2-0 upset victory over #5 Azusa Pacific Nov. 17 to capture the Golden State Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Championship.
Wolf was home alone when the fire began as a glow at the Tea Garden arches. He called his wife, Jill, who was with their children and asked what she wanted him to take when he evacuated their home. He grabbed some important documents and stuffed animals for his children, but didn't have time to retrieve the family's home movies before retreating to the home of Johan Frisell, assistant men's soccer coach.
After the fire destroyed eight structures on the Westmont campus and 15 faculty homes, officials at Azusa Pacific agreed to postpone Saturday's championship game until the following Monday. Fire officials escorted Wolf and his players onto the closed campus Saturday so the athletes could gather their uniforms and cleats, which remained in locked residence halls.
More than 600 Westmont students and alumni made the trek to Azusa to support the team at the game on Monday. President Gayle D. Beebe and Read Sheard, vice president for information technology, drove down as well. "I wanted to see our students," said Beebe, whose home was spared on La Paz Road. "They played their hearts out for Dave. It was one of the most epic sports events I have ever been a part of. It was a great distraction for an hour and a half."
Following the game, hundreds of Westmont students stormed the field, congratulating the players by creating a human tunnel with their arms, similar to an AYSO soccer game. Westmont has earned an automatic berth in the NAIA National Championship Tournament and will host Holy Names University at an undetermined location Saturday, Nov. 22.
Practice Makes Perfect
Students hastily rose from dinner in the dining commons, leaving plates of untouched food, when they received an electronic emergency alert telling them to evacuate to the gym. All students, faculty and staff got the notification. This was nothing new for Westmont students who practice these types of drills several times a year. But this was the real thing as the Tea Fire raced onto campus. About 800 Westmont students, including several dozen high school seniors on campus for Preview Days, checked in at the gym, where an emergency shelter was being established. The college's county-approved fire plan specifies that students shelter in place at the cinder-block gym as opposed to clogging the narrow, windy Montecito roads with cars and buses. The emergency notice went out at 6:04 pm; by 6:15 pm all the students were in the gym and accounted for. This quick action prevented any deaths or injuries from the fast-moving fire.
The college's emergency response team, made up of faculty and staff members, meets every month to rehearse emergency scenarios for various disasters. Troy Harris, Westmont director of risk management, and other staff are also actively involved with the Montecito Emergency Response & Recovery Action Group (MERRAG), a network of trained volunteers who work and/or live in the Montecito area. Members are prepared to respond to a community disaster during the critical first 72 hours following an event.

He then got at of the car, climbed over the railing and threatened to jump. ESU officers grabbed and secured the man at 7 a.m. He was brought to Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze.

Marysville Getchell junior found dead June 18; cause of death under investigation
MARYSVILLE — The cause of death of a 17-year-old Marysville student who was found unconscious by her friends on June 18 has yet to be determined, according to Marysville police.
Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux acknowledged that detectives are investigating the case as a possible overdose, due to the absence of outward signs of trauma, but noted that toxicology reports on the case have yet to be released. He added that a medical condition hasn't been ruled out as the cause of the girl's death.
Because the girl was a junior in the Bio-Med Academy at Marysville Getchell High School, Marysville School District officials notified other students' parents of the girl's death by letter on June 20, and are making school counselors and the district's crisis team available to any students or staff members in need of support.
"The impact of this tragedy will be felt differently by each child," the letter read, which was signed by the principals of all four of Marysville Getchell's Small Learning Communities. "As a parent, you will best know how to support your child as he [or] she works through the shock, grief and fears in facing this death. [...] We all feel a tremendous loss — it is never easy to lose any child and will hold family and friends close in our hearts at this sad time."
According to Lamoureux, police received a 9-1-1 call at approximately 2 p.m. on June 18 from the parents of the young people who had hosted a party of their peers at their house on the evening of June 17. The girl was one of their guests, and after the young people who live at the house were unable to wake her up on June 18, they summoned their parents. The girl was pronounced dead on the scene.
Although Marysville police have been interviewing people who were with the girl on the evening of June 17, Lamoureux emphasized that there are no suspects in her death. He also warned that not all of the rumors surrounding the girl's death, that have been circulated by young people online, are accurate.
Marysville School District officials currently have no information on any funeral or memorial services, but plan to make it available upon request or as they receive it.

Album: ... And They Shall Take Up Serpents
Genre: Rock
Bruising minds burning thoughts over matter
Your knees hit soil you touch me not
Curdled opinions form mindless babble
From evolved me the pity is not
Elevated threshold of pain
Masterpiece of the unsane
Miles away from the next to be
Successors of pure violent misery
Grind down to human
Resist against pleasure insist on pain
I disregard the soul in me
Along with it I replace pity
I pity none
I pity you

This trunk is part of a collaboration between Saint James (maker of the Breton shirt, aka the stripe shirt Picasso wore all the time) and Le Slip Francais, a high-end French loungewear maker. The capsule collection as a whole is made up of traditional, nautical-inspired pieces made entirely in France, and this trunk in particular was designed the old-school way with a short hem and a drawstring waist. In other words, it's the kind of swim short James Bond would reach for when hitting the French Riviera.

MONTGOMERY, AL -- An appeal filed by a private bookstore seeking the names and addresses of incoming first-year students at the University of Alabama in Huntsville was denied Friday by the Alabama Supreme Court.
The high court, upholding the ruling of the Madison County Circuit Court, said Off Campus College Bookstore, was not entitled to the names under Alabama's Open Records Act.
The store filed its request in May 2006 and again in May 2007, adding the school's president as a defendant. UAH denied both requests on the grounds that the information was protected by the federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
The store sells books, school supplies, and other products, primarily to postsecondary students at UAH, and also to students at junior colleges and other postsecondary schools in the Tennessee Valley.

Well, thank you, Army Corps of Engineers.
The Corps has agreed to let industry and others in the state continue to use water from Lake Sakakawea at no charge for now. The Corps told state leaders it will continue to issue temporary, free permits for oil industry users and others while it gathers public comment and other information on what a reasonable fee for water users would be, a process that could take 18 months to complete. But, the Corps, said, eventually it plans to charge for using surplus water from Lake Sakakawea.
That's unacceptable, and state officials immediately promised to fight the Corps' decision. Their position is simple:?The water in the state legally belongs to the state, and therefore the Corps cannot and should not charge users for the water.
The state's congressional delegation also says the state was promised the ability to use Missouri River water in exchange for losing land to create Garrison?Dam, and the Corps now wants to change that agreement, some 50 years later.
A lot can happen in 18 months. While the Corps gathers information, the state and will continue to oppose the plan to charge water users. We expect to win.

oh man, my mom innundated me with the ancient meaning and uses of the word cunt and it's derivatives when i was way young and it still squicks me out to use it in context, as in referring to my parts. i'd no sooner call it a cunt than i would a yoni or flower, gah.
the only time i will use it is in a severly derogatory context. like the french use the names of holy relics as curse words, taking it totally out of context is blasphemous. so, using it to refer to anything other than girly bits = the worst possible thing to say.
i guess i feel comfortable using it in that context because i Have one and therefore own the word in a sense. but i would never use the "n" word because i'm not dark enough to be considered black and so don't and could never own that word at all in any context except for an insulting one. huh, interesting discussion.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Mayor Bill de Blasio blasted as "idiotic" a published report saying he'd throw NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton "under the bus" to appease the Rev. Al Sharpton after the July 17 chokehold death of Eric Garner.
The report, published on DNAinfo.com Tuesday, was headlined, "De Blasio Would Dump Bratton in Showdown with Sharpton, Sources Say."
During a media event Wednesday, hizzoner denied that he'd drop Bratton when a reporter brought up the DNAinfo story.
"I have a high-pain threshold when it comes to untruths being told in print, but this is ludicrous. It's inappropriate. It's idiotic," de Blasio said. "I don't know how many times I've said we have the finest police leader in the United States - and I believe that in my heart. I think Bill Bratton is doing an extraordinary job. So, I'm kind of sick of this notion of let's make everything about personalities and conflict.
"We are blessed to have Bill Bratton as our commissioner and he's doing a great job. And he and I are absolutely united in our approach to fighting crime and bringing police and community together. We share a vision of bringing police and community together. That's why stops are down. That's why marijuana arrests are down. That's why you see efforts like the Interrupters being fostered and supported along with the cooperation of the NYPD. So I would wish that people would not talk to unnamed sources and would actually ask me. I'm quite available to answer the question."
His mention of "the Interrupters" is a reference to a group of community activists who try to mediate street disputes before they boil over into violence or gunplay.
The DNAinfo piece, citing unnamed sources, called de Blasio and Bratton's relationship "tentative from the outset," and contended that Sharpton's presence at the table with de Blasio and Bratton during a City Hall summit highlighted the tension between the two.
Sharpton's presence at that summit has angered several current rank-and-file police officers and retired officers, many of whom still bitterly remember his role in the 1987 Tawana Brawley scandal.
Sharpton helped advise and served as a spokesman for Ms. Brawley, then 15 years old, who claimed she had been kidnapped and raped by a gang of white men that included a police officer and a prosecutor. A grand jury concluded that Brawley made the story up.
At a press conference last week, Patrolman's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said of Sharpton, "He shouldn't have the right to sit at the lead table at City Hall and stir up the streets where it becomes dangerous for police officers."-- Associated Press material was included in this report.
