From The Oregonian of Thursday, Nov. 30, 2000 -- Teacher accused of raping schoolgirl: Police say the victim was related to the accused 43-year-old electronics and math instructor
An electronics and math teacher at Oregon City High School has been charged with raping an elementary school-aged girl during the past year.
Samuel O. Oluwalana, 43, of West Linn was charged with two counts of first-degree rape, felonies that each carry a maximum of 8 years and four months in prison on conviction.
Oluwalana has been suspended from his job with pay pending a resolution to his case. Oluwalana appeared in Clackamas County Circuit Court via television Wednesday. He is being held on $500,000 bail and is scheduled to return to court Dec. 6.
Police are continuing their investigation of Oluwalana. Police did not rule out additional victims but said it was unlikely that Oluwalana victimized his students. However, West Linn police encouraged anyone who thinks he had inappropriate contact with Oluwalana to contact them.
The victim, who is related to Oluwalana, told her mother about the alleged sexual abuse on Sunday, said Sgt. Neil Hennelly of the West Linn Police Department. On Monday, the girl's mother contacted a family counselor, who reported the alleged abuse to the state Office for Services to Children and Families.
Oluwalana allegedly last abused the child Sunday, police said.
Oluwalana has worked at Oregon City High School since the 1998-99 school year. He is married and has five children, ranging from 2 months to 10 years old.
Oregon City school officials said Wednesday that Oluwalana is an excellent teacher who has been instrumental in developing the high school's electronics program. He helped rebuild the program after a fire last month damaged the microelectronics classroom.
"He has been really involved in getting all of that back together again," said Bonnie Webber, director of personnel for the school district.
Oluwalana also teaches math at the high school. Teachers were told about Oluwalana's arrest in a staff meeting Wednesday afternoon.
Oluwalana holds three academic degrees, all from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. He has a bachelor's degree in education with a major in vocational and industrial education, a master's degree in vocational education and a doctorate in education leadership, according to the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, the agency that licenses Oregon teachers.
Oluwalana taught at a boys school in Nigeria from 1983 through 1987, according to state records. From 1989 through 1997, Oluwalana taught in Arizona schools. He came to Oregon in 1998.
Oluwalana has a clean disciplinary record, according to the teacher commission. To receive a teaching license in Oregon, Oluwalana underwent a criminal background check, which turned up nothing, state officials said.
He is originally from Nigeria and is a permanent resident of the United States.
Anyone with information about the case should call the West Linn police at 503-655-6214.

From The Oregonian of Wednesday, April 25, 2001 -- District sues former Oregon City teacher: The action on electronic equipment sales comes as Samuel O. Oluwalana faces trial on rape charges
A former teacher facing trial on rape charges is under investigation for allegedly selling electronics equipment from Oregon City High School, where he oversaw the school's microelectronics lab.
Samuel O. Oluwalana, 43, praised last fall for rebuilding the microelectronics lab after a fire, is being sued by the Oregon City School District on accusations of taking equipment from the high school and selling it for almost $20,0000.
"This was a huge surprise to everybody, including me," said Oregon City Superintendent Barry Rotrock. "He was a very formal, very proper individual that seemed to be very conscientious."
No criminal charges against Oluwalana have been filed, but Oregon City police say the investigation into the former teacher is continuing.
Oluwalana is in the Clackamas County Jail awaiting trial on two counts of first-degree rape. The alleged victim was a child. Trial is set for July 24. He resigned from his Oregon City teaching position March 31.
According to the civil suit filed in Clackamas County Circuit Court, Oluwalana bought electronics equipment on behalf of the school district from Northwest Test & Measurement between Sept. 15 and Sept. 19, 2000.
Then, on Sept. 29, a fire did hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to the microelectronics lab at the high school.
Later in the fall, according to the suit, Oluwalana sold some district equipment back to Northwest Test & Measurement for $19,218.
Oregon City school officials first realized the equipment was missing after Oluwalana's Nov. 28 arrest on rape charges, Rotrock said. Most of the electronics equipment has since been recovered.
Before coming to Oregon City in 1998, Oluwalana was the subject of a fraud investigation in Arizona, where he worked as a supervisor of vocational programs for the Flagstaff Unified School District.
In 1997, he was charged with fraudulent schemes, a felony, in Coconino County Superior Court. He was accused of misappropriating school district grant money, according to defense attorney Bryon Middlebrook.
As part of a deferred prosecution program, Middlebrook said, Oluwalana did not admit guilt. But according to court documents, he agreed to reimburse the district for $13,716, perform as much as 200 hours of community service and receive counseling.
The case was dismissed in March 2000, according to the Coconino County Clerk's Office, after Oluwalana had completed the program.
Rotrock said the school district conducted a thorough reference check before hiring Oluwalana and turned up nothing but positive reviews.
Oluwalana holds three academic degrees, all from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. He taught at a boys school in Nigeria from 1983 through 1987, according to state records. From 1989 through 1997, he taught in Arizona schools.

From The Oregonian of Wednesday, July 25, 2001 -- Ex-Oregon High teacher pleads guilty in child sex case
OREGON CITY -- A former Oregon City High School teacher pleaded guilty on Tuesday to raping and sexually abusing a girl.
Clackamas County Circuit Judge Eve Miller set a Sept. 14 sentencing for Samuel Olusegun Oluwalana of West Linn on one count each of first-degree sexual abuse and first-degree rape. The 43-year-old Nigerian citizen faces a possible maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and $400,000 in fines.
Oluwalana, who holds the immigrant status of permanent resident of the United States, began teaching electronics and mathematics at the high school in the 1998-99 academic year. After the sex-crime allegations came to light in November, he was suspended with pay pending the outcome of the case.
The girl Oluwalana abused is not old enough to be in high school, and there is no allegation that he victimized any of his students.
A civil lawsuit filed against him by the school district is pending in Circuit Court, and a criminal investigation is under way by the Oregon City police. Both are based on accusations that Oluwalana stole more than $19,000 worth of computer equipment belonging to the district.
No criminal charges have been filed. Nor has a civil trial date been set in connection with those allegations, which are detailed in an amended complaint the district filed March 7.
From The Oregonian of Monday, Dec. 3, 2001 -- Ex-Oregon City teacher sentenced for sex crimes: Samuel O. Oluwalana, 44, also faces a civil suit by the school district claiming theft of school property
A former Oregon City High School teacher was sentenced Friday to 14 years and seven months in prison for raping and sexually abusing a young girl.
Samuel O. Oluwalana, 44, pleaded guilty in July to rape and sexual abuse in Clackamas County Circuit Court. He apologized Friday for his actions before Judge Raymond R. Bagley Jr. imposed the sentence.
"I'm very, very sorry," he said, standing before the judge in shackles and a jail uniform. "I know I have caused a lot of trouble. I wish I could take back everything I've done."
Oluwalana was hired by the school district in August 1998 and taught math and electronics. He was suspended after the sex abuse allegations came to light and resigned March 31 of this year.
The Oregon City School District filed a civil suit against Oluwalana in March, alleging he took electronics equipment from the high school and sold it for about $19,000. The school district estimates he sold other stolen equipment for an additional $11,000, said Bonnie Webber, director of human resources for the district.
The Oregon City Police Department is conducting an investigation into those allegations. Webber said she hopes the investigation will be completed so the case can be forwarded to the Clackamas County district attorney's office to determine whether charges should be filed.
Oluwalana was charged with raping the girl, whom he knew, on Nov. 26, 2000, and sexually abusing her between Jan. 1 and Nov. 25 of last year.
His attorney, Bruce Shepley, called a county psychiatrist who has treated Oluwalana to testify about his mental state.
Keith D. Conant, who said he testified at Oluwalana's request, said his patient had been diagnosed with depression and a schizophrenia-type disorder. Oluwalana also was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome, a result of physical and sexual abuse he suffered as a child, Conant said.
Deputy District Attorney Jody Vaughan told Bagley that on one hand, Oluwalana has portrayed himself as a good father and teacher. But Vaughan said Oluwalana also threatened the victim if she told anyone about their sexual relationship.
"He's not the wonderful, kind person he would have you believe," she said.

Marijuana delivery case dismissed against former Snoqualmie man
The King County Prosecutor's Office has thrown out its marijuana-delivery case against former Snoqualmie resident Bryan C. Gabriel.
Gabriel, 28, had been charged last June with a violation of the Controlled Substance Act. Charging documents state that in June of 2009, Snoqualmie Police investigated what appeared to be an illegal drug deal in Covington between Gabriel and another man. Officers arrested Gabriel in July of that year for allegedly selling two pounds of marijuana in that transaction, according to court papers.
Charging documents say Gabriel told police that he had previously been supplying marijuana for medical purposes to 15 patients.
In March, a King County jury deadlocked in the case.
"With consideration to the jury's decision and in the administration of justice, the state is moving to dismiss without prejudice," Deputy Prosecutor Brian Wynne stated in the Tuesday, April 19, motion, which was approved by a county judge and signed by Gabriel's attorney, Kurt Boehl.
Dismissal without prejudice allows for re-filing of the case in the future.
If he had been convicted, Gabriel would have faced a maximum of six months in jail.

TUSCALOOSA -- As it turns out, Anthony Grant's first season as Alabama's basketball coach didn't end differently than the previous two for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama wasn't included Sunday in the NCAA tournament or the NIT, meaning a third consecutive season ended after a quarterfinal loss in the SEC tournament.
For Grant, it was the first time since 1998 that a team he was associated with did not advance to either of the sport's top two postseason brackets. With a record of 17-15 and an RPI rating near 100, Alabama entered Sunday out of contention for the NCAA and doubtful for the 32-team NIT.
One case for the Crimson Tide would have been its strong finish. A string of three victories ended with Friday's hard-fought 73-67 defeat to eventual SEC tournament champ and NCAA No. 1 seed Kentucky. But the damage was already done with a string of close midseason defeats and a 1-6 record during the month of February.
"The postseason brings a different sense of urgency to you because you know you're only promised that next game," Grant said after the Kentucky defeat in Nashville, Tenn. "So I think the sense of urgency that we played with here was probably the best that we've played. Now the trick is to take that and learn from that and let it grow."
There were bright spots in Grant's first season, most notably an early victory over eventual No. 3 NCAA seed Baylor and a renewed commitment to defense that allowed Alabama to finish second in the SEC in scoring defense. But the Crimson Tide played with a short deck after season-ending injuries to forward Demetrius Jemison and guard Andrew Steele.
A struggling offense (11th in the SEC) proved costly as second-half leads seemingly got away on a nightly basis. The most excruciating aspect for Alabama is that it lost four conference games that went down to the game's final possession.
Off the court, the season also included at least three announced suspensions as Grant installed a new "process" for the program. Guard Anthony Brock, forward JaMychal Green and guard Senario Hillman were each suspended for at least one game during the season.
"Coach Grant is a great coach," said Green, a former McDonald's All-American who has indicated he will return in 2010-11. "He's just trying to teach us how to hold each other accountable. He punishes, but it's for the right reasons."
The performance in Nashville mimicked the past two seasons, when Alabama perhaps played its best basketball during the SEC tournament.
After the Kentucky loss, Grant stressed consistency to his team and the need to "compete every night," according to Brock.
"It was just the growth of the whole deal," Brock said of the season. "We had to get used to him and come together as a team, really. That's what he was preaching the whole year. It takes time to grow, but eventually we started doing it. ... Alabama is going to be a real good place. He's teaching all the right things, and that's what it's about."
Despite the turmoil of the first season, Grant said he was encouraged by the final two weeks.
"Probably the biggest thing is we're beginning to understand being a team," he said. "I think that's the beginning of having a chance to win, when there is the trust and respect and accountability for each other out there on the floor."
Sunday's news meant that senior guards Mikhail Torrance, a Mary Montgomery product who led Alabama in scoring this season, and Brock have played their final collegiate games.
Torrance led the Crimson Tide with 15.6 points per game. Hoping for an NIT bid after the run ended in Nashville, he said he hasn't yet seriously considered his next step.
"Coach Grant saved my career here," Torrance said. "I mean, he gave me the opportunity that I didn't have these past three years. I've got to thank him for that."
Otherwise, the Crimson Tide returns forwards Jemison, Green, Chris Hines, Justin Knox, Tony Mitchell and guards Hillman and Steele. Other than Jemison, who was injured during the preseason, all of the above started games this season.
"I see us doing nothing but improving," Knox said. "We learned a lot throughout the season. Coach has been preaching to us all season that it's going to be a process for us. I could see it getting better and better as the years go on."

BOSTON - Josh Beckett will come off the disabled list to pitch for the Red Sox Saturday at Seattle.
The Red Sox play the Mariners in a four-game series beginning Thursday. Franklin Morales and Aaron Cook will pitch the first two games of the series.
Beckett (4-7) is on the DL for right shoulder inflammation.
Manager Bobby Valentine is looking at a six-man rotation until the All-Star break, which is two weeks away. Felix Doubront will pitch the Sunday series finale at Seattle, with Daisuke Matsuzaka going Monday at Oakland.
"It could benefit everyone for us to get a little creative,'' Valentine said.
The rotation now includes converted reliever Morales as well as Cook, who was called up from Pawtucket a bit ahead of schedule because of Buchholz' illness.

It has been a first half of a season where last year's Super Bowl MVP looks like this year's regular-season MVP. Where rookie quarterbacks are grabbing headlines; a rookie coach, from the college ranks of all places, has rejuvenated a once-proud franchise; and the Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals have winning records.
Does anyone even remember the lockout?
So much has happened through the first eight weeks of the NFL season that it's hard to believe some thought there might not even be an NFL season.
Here's a look back and a look ahead as the second half of the season is about to kick off.
Most Valuable Player (offense) – Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay: At this point, it's not even close. Last year's playoff hero in Titletown has been unbelievable through Green Bay's 7-0 start. It's not just his stats, although a 125.7 quarterback rating is pretty impressive, it's everything else about Rodgers. Right now, he's the best player in the game, bar none.
Most Valuable Player (defense) – Ndamukong Suh, Detroit: You could go a lot of ways here, but you know how I feel about awards that use the word valuable, which is why Suh gets the nod over a lot of other players. For instance, DeMarcus Ware's four sacks last week came as his team was getting blown out – not so valuable. Suh has brought an attitude to Detroit that's been missing for about a half-century.
Rookie of the Year (offense) – Cam Newton, Carolina: There aren't many people criticizing the Panthers' No. 1 overall pick any longer. Newton has come in and played as well as any rookie quarterback in a long, long time. His QB rating of 87.1 isn't bad and that doesn't include his ability to get yards with his legs, either. It won't be long (next year?) before the Panthers are contenders again.
Rookie of the Year (defense) – Aldon Smith, San Francisco: The first-round pick from Missouri has shown the 49ers they knew what they were doing. His 6.5 sacks lead all rookies, and is seventh-best in the league. San Francisco has been drafting well the past few years; now they have a coach in place who knows what to do with those players.
Coach of the Year – Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco: You almost forgot the 49ers were even around, all the preseason hype in the NFC West was on St. Louis and Arizona. And then came Harbaugh. It's been eight straight years of non-winning and non-playoff seasons for San Fran. Both of those streaks end this year.
Can Green Bay Lose?: With Rodgers, it's tough to bet against the Pack, but I'm not ready to say they are going to go 16-0. It's probably not even the best strategy to win the Super Bowl. Ask New England. So who takes the Pack down? It has to be a team with a good pass rush, who can also score. San Diego, today, is a possibility. So is Detroit on Thanksgiving. And the Giants will have revenge on their minds in Week 13.
Can Miami win?: I don't think so. If the Dolphins can't beat Washington at home next week, you might be looking at 0-16. Will those old men from that 1972 team pop champagne when that happens? Just asking.
What about Indy?: Two 0-16 teams the same year. Ouch. The Colts' best chance of winning also comes next week when they host Jacksonville the week before they take a bye. At least they won't lose that week.
Three First-Half Surprises – San Francisco, Buffalo and Cincinnati: The 49ers are all but in; the Bills and Bengals have to keep surprising to make the postseason.
Three First-Half Disappointments – Eagles, Arizona and St. Louis: It looks the Eagles might be getting right, but is it too late? It is for those other two. How's that Kevin Kolb trade working out, Cardinals?
Two Teams to Watch in the Second Half – Jets, Chicago: The next two weeks will tell about the Jets when they go to Buffalo today and host New England next week. From there, the big game will be the MetLife Stadium showdown with the Giants in Week 16.
Chicago's next two weeks are interesting as well with the Eagles tomorrow night and a rematch with Detroit next week. After that, the Bears play the entire AFC West in four weeks. They could go 4-0 in that stretch.
Games to Watch the Second Half: Tonight– Baltimore-Pittsburgh; Week 11– Eagles-Giants; Thanksgiving– Green Bay-Detroit; Week 16– New Orleans-Atlanta; Weeks 16 and 17– Oakland-Kansas City, Oakland-San Diego; Week 17– New England-Buffalo.
1. Green Bay 7-0
2. Pittsburgh 6-2

BOSTON - The New England Council, an alliance of businesses throughout New England dedicated to improving the region's economy and quality of life, is urging Congress to extend the current tax rate on capital gains and dividends, rather than allowing them to spike at year's end.
As Congress returns to Washington this week for the lame-duck session, the council sent a letter to each member of the New England delegation urging extension of the existing tax rates, arguing that such an extension would encourage investment in companies that in turn grow, create jobs, and drive the economy.
The council's letter notes that as American companies compete in an increasingly global market, and increased capital gains and dividends tax rates would undermine our nation's ability to maintain our position as a worldwide economic leader. The letter also notes that higher tax rates on dividends will have a significant impact on seniors, as seniors are far more likely than any other investor group to own stocks which pay dividends. In the New England states, over 50 percent of seniors own stocks that pay dividends.
The New England Council, the country's oldest regional business organization, is an alliance of businesses, academic and health institutions, and public and private organizations throughout New England formed to promote economic growth and a high quality of life in the region.

"Chrome 2" gets a speed injection
One of the first things that came out of most reviews when Google Chrome launched 8 months ago was that the browser was very fast. And, especcially compared to my Firefox with a dozen plugins running, the browser really IS very fast. Well, Google believes it wasn't fast enough. So they increased the speed just a little bit more... with about 30%.
Besides the increased speed Google added some more features to Chrome. Most of which were asked for by the public. Features added are amongst others: an Improved New Tab Page, Full Screen Mode and a Form Autofill. Google calls their update "Chrome 2".
Something that was interesting right away with Chrome was the history of most visited websites in the new tab webpage. When opening a new tab you will see the websites you visited most. A feature which Firefox has added also recently. Annoying about this feature was that if you wanted to get rid of that one website which you didn't want showing up in your browser everytime, you couldn't. Google now gives you the opportunity to remove unwanted thumbnails.
The other new options, Full Screen Mode and Form Autofill are features you can expect in a browser if you're working with either Firefox or Internet Explorer. That Google has added them now is nice, but to be honest, they should have been in "Chrome 1" already.
While working on these features, Google also corrected over 300 bugs that caused crashes since launch, so the browser should be a lot more stable.

Earlier this week, much was made of a decision by UNESCO to name Red Bay in Labrador as a World Heritage Site.
The decision was based on the significance of the site's role as a Basque whaling station in the 16th century, and it means Red Bay joins Gros Morne and L'Anse aux Meadows as the only three sites in the province.
It's a feather in the community's cap and an opportunity: it puts the community on the map and could create significant tourism benefits for the town of 200.
Peter Kent, the minister responsible for Parks Canada, said in a news release issued Saturday that the "international designation indicates that the site's cultural characteristics are so exceptional they deserve to be protected for the benefit of all humanity."
But governments are not always successful at maintaining that protection. This province's government had an extensive inventory of provincial parks and scenic sites — until finances got in the way, and many were privatized during the tight financial times during the administration of Clyde Wells. Many of those privatized sites are now an afterthought, rather than highlights of this province's beauty.
Other sites, like an area of alpine plants in the Hawke Hills — the most southerly and easterly location for such vegetation — became natural reserves administered by the province. Except commercial interests found other values for the high elevation.
According to the province's web page on the site, "As early as the 1970s, a site just north of the current reserve was identified for protection under the International Biological Program. Before a reserve was created, some of the plant life there was destroyed by the construction of a microwave network and associated maintenance roads. This further emphasized the need for a reserve to protect a portion of this unique ecosystem."
Other provincial ecological sites, including one that has plants so rare they exist nowhere else in the world, have been threatened, at times, by industries as basic as quarrying.
Even national parks aren't without their threats. Not that long ago, plans to route Muskrat Falls transmission lines through Gros Morne National Park had UNESCO reconsidering the park's status as a World Heritage Site. Then-premier Danny Williams later backed down from the transmission route plan, saying the power transmission corridor would take a more remote and expensive route over the Long Range Mountains.
The current debate over whether to allow slickwater fracking in oil exploration in the Gros Morne area is once again raising questions, and UNESCO is once again monitoring the situation.
"Very clearly this is an issue of concern to us," Guy Debonnet, the UNESCO unit chief for North American heritage sites, told the CBC. "There is a possibility of de-listing the site from the world heritage list. Of course, we are not talking about this issue for the moment. There are also other procedures in the convention."
The last round of provincial budget cuts may not have cut reserves, but it did cut provincial employees who managed and oversaw some ecological sites.
The bottom line is that creating a reserve is a good beginning, but only a beginning. The resolve has to go much farther and last much longer.

Ooo, so pretty!
That's adorable… matching hats for Grandmom, Rae and Caleb!
How cool that is one adorable hat. I still have several scarves I want to finish. I am still working with a size 6 needle I want to work my way to the size 2.5 needles I bought for the fine yarn.
So cute! I have made several hats for the girls with ruffles–free to download pattern from Bernat. There is also another adorable one with flowers (also from Bernat). Totally fun to make and so very very cute!
Really cute hat! The flower is the icing on the cake!
This is adorable. I love it : )
These hats are so cute Mary. Thanks for sharing. Check out this web site for yarn. They have beautiful stuff.

If the onset of the winter season here has you feeling somber, you might want to lighten your mood by spending a couple of hours among the good people in the fictional town of Tuna, Texas.
You'll find them in the production of the comedy "A Tuna Christmas," presented by Not Another Theater Company and skilfully directed by Deborah Pearson.
"Tuna Christmas" is a sequel to the very funny "Greater Tuna," and it has about the same main characters, who live their lives with a hilarious intensity magnified by the town's very smallness.
Tuna is "the third smallest town in Texas," but it has more than its share of shenanigans like lying, adultery, stealing and abandonment, to say nothing of embedded racism and general intolerance.
The key thing, of course, is that in the "Tuna" plays, all the characters are performed by only two actors. The characters must be cartooned to some degree so that their identities will be instantly clear. At the same time, though, they must be lifelike enough so that we can tie them to reality.
In this production, Gerrit Vander Werff, Jr., and Greg J. Hipius do an astounding and persuasive job of switching nimbly into their various roles and giving them just the right edge of realism.
Vander Werff, for example, plays Arles Struvie, the glib announcer on the town's radio station, OKKK, who carries a hip flask at all times.
Within seconds, Vander Werff becomes Didi Snavely, who owns the gun shop. She shuffles around in a long granny nightgown, smoking her pipe and saying things like, "Wouldn't you rather shoot somebody than see them walk off with your toaster?"
Hipius' central role is Bertha Bumiller, a big lady in a shapeless housedress who wins our laughter and sympathy. She has a no-account husband and she's trying to raise three kids, one of whom is having a probation hearing.
"Ah am a desperate woman," says Bertha.
Across the street from Bertha lives the moneyed, ash-blonde Vera Carp (Vander Werff), trim in a black blazer and paisley skirt, who loves to order other people around. But after a brief moment offstage, Vera might morph into the waitress Helen Bedd, or one of Bertha's children, or Petey Fisk, head of the local Humane Society.
Hipius might appear as the burly, threatening Sheriff Givens, or the sensible, good-hearted Pearl Burras, or Joe Bob Lipsey, the artsy community theater director.
Definition of the 22 characters is boosted immensely by various wigs (Karen Procopio) and costumes (credit not available). The speed of costume changes is made possible by offstage dressers Jennifer Pearson and Pam Hipius.
But the quick-change skills in "Tuna Christmas" are in the service of high spirits. Act one, for example, ends with two elderly ladies laughing, singing "Yellow Rose of Texas" and shooting slingshots out a window at a noisy bluejay.
The humor in "Tuna Christmas" comes from its abundant and outrageous satire of small-town life. We seem to be a long way from Grover's Corner and Bedford Falls. Or maybe not.
The grotesque doings in "Tuna Christmas" are matched by a related drive that gives the show depth: we can't help but see that the characters are working hard to make their lives at least endurable, and some of them are actually at times sane and kindly.
I saw the show at a dress rehearsal, and a few bits of pacing could have been sharpened. Especially near the end there are some brief episodes that could have been cut altogether, and a funny but touching courtship scene that needs shortening.
The actors do a good job with the pungent Tuna dialect that makes words seem a lot more profane than they actually are. But the drawl was at times carried to the point where consonants were dropped, obscuring words.
What: "A Tuna Christmas," presented by Not Another Theater Company.
When: Seen at dress preview, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011.
Where: The Locker Room Fire & Ice Banquet Facilities, 528 Hiawatha Blvd. E., Syracuse.
Length: Two hours, including intermission.
Performs through: Nov. 19.
Family guide: Not for younger kids. Ribald humor, profane language and adult themes. Fog machine in one scene.
Information: 446-1461.

Ten months after the Hoboken PD's Community Policing Unit shut down, it reopened, with the eight-man unit moving back into the Hoboken Housing Authority office today.
"Basically it's an outreach to the public," said Lt. Kenneth Ferrante, who heads up the unit. "When you're in a police car day-to-day, you only have a couple of minutes to solve problems," he said. "Here, we're going to be digging deeper to get at the heart of the problem."
"We want to convince the public to open up lines of communication," agreed Sgt. James Marnell, who worked on the community policing program before it was disbanded to move more cops to night patrol.
The unit has divided the city into six sections. Each officer is assigned a permanent beat of about 30-square blocks, which he will patrol daily, either on foot, bicycle or on one of those new T3 scooter things (but mostly by foot, Ferrante says).
"They'll be focused on youths, senior citizens, meeting business owners, heads of condo complexes," said Ferrante.
The Community Policing concept became popular in the late '80s, said Ferrante, and it was brought to Hoboken soon thereafter by former Hoboken Police Chief Carmen LaBruno, who retired Monday.
But in recent years, the unit became more focused on policing festivals and other community events, and lost some of its focus on patrolling a beat. Ferrante said his unit will return the focus to building ties with the community and taking a proactive approach to problems.
The officers were chosen for their experience with community policing programs. Ferrante says he hopes to get more officers added to the unit by year's end. He says he'll put them where they're needed most.
So who's patrolling your neighborhood? Here's the roster:
• Sect. 1: (W. of Willow bet. Observer & 4th): Officer James Barbro (of mounted patrol fame)
• Sect. 2: (W. of Willow bet. 4th and 9th): Officer Anthony Fesken
• Sect. 3: (W. of Willow bet. 9th & 16th): Officer Joseph Mezzina
• Sect. 4: (E. of Willow bet.Observer & 4th): Officer William Oquendo
• Sect. 5: (E. of Willow bet.4th & 9th): Officer William James
• Sect. 6: (E. of Willow bet. 9th & 16th): Officer Joseph Cahill
Ferrante and Marnell will supervise.
So if you see your officer out there, don't be afraid to say hello. Because in community policing, those personal relationships are what it's all about, said Cahill, who policed Hoboken High School for four years.
"Once they got to know you, they would go out of their way to say hello and shake your hand," he said. "Hopefully we'll be able to get back to that."
Some area residents said they weren't sure the program would make a big difference.
"To us, really, I don't think it matters," said Carlos Olavaria, 47, as he played dominoes in front of 310 Jackson St., He said his corner has been pretty quiet in recent years and a police presence doesn't really make much of a difference.
But others said they're happy to see the Community Policing Unit return.
"I think it's a great idea -- we'll have them right next to us," said Naomi Johnson, who has lived at 405 Marshall for 30 years.
"It's a good idea," agreed Oswaldo Sepulveda, 65. "That way everything stays calm."

New Mexico AG Gary King: Other States' Gay Marriages Should Be Recognized Here
Though New Mexico's lawmakers couldn't push through a domestic partnership bill last year, a glimmer of good news: Attorney General Gary King says after reviewing the state's laws at the request of State Rep. Al Park, it's King's professional opinion that out-of-state same-sex marriages should be recognized. Of course that doesn't mean a court can't rule another way, but with that opinion it signals the AG's office would go to court to defend King's stance. Not that any of this changes the mind of Gov. Susana Martinez, whose office says in a statement, "Gov. Martinez made it clear during the campaign that she opposes same-sex marriage. It's important to note that no New Mexico court has ruled on this issue." It's also important to note that such a declaration from the AG is likely to heat up support to constitutionally ban recognition of outside marriages. [photo via]
@Daez: DOMA is Federal.
You'll learn all about the difference between federal and state laws in 8th grade.
DOMA provides that a state is not required to recognize a same-sex marriage validly performed in another state. It does not prohibit any state from recognizing such a marriage.
It defines marriage as between a man and woman for purposes of federal law.


text: I sold a revover, through the forum, and when I went to a gunshop in my area, the guy says he has to hold the gun 30 days and log it into HIS book, before he can ship it to another FFL. Is that true? Because I have shipped handguns before (it has been about a year, and through a different dealer)and have never been told that. I always thought that the dealer was only acting as a "shipping agent" to conform with the requirements of the law. Any comments?

ORLANDO -- Central Florida seems to be a hard basketball team to figure out.
Are the Knights the team that won their first 14 games under first-year head coach Donnie Jones, including wins over Florida and Miami, vaulted as high as 19th in the Associated Press rankings, and was considered a definite NCAA Tournament team?
Or are they the team that has dropped five successive Conference USA games, including back-to-back home losses to East Carolina and Rice?
The difference is not perplexing to UAB head coach Mike Davis, whose team plays the Knights tonight at 6 at UCF Arena in CUSA game that CSS will televise regionally (joined in progress at 7).
"It's conference play and everybody has film on them," Davis said. "You can't be the same team you were in January that you were in November and December."
Davis had a similar experience last season. The Blazers were 12-2 in nonconference games, including a win over eventual NCAA runner-up Butler, but lost five conference games in the regular season and didn't win a game in the C-USA Tournament.
"We were pretty good in December and just OK in January and February," Davis said. "It showed by losing three home games."
UCF (14-5 overall, 1-5 C-USA) still has a chance to get back into the postseason picture but it may be too late for the Knights to re-enter the race for the regularseason conference title. They currently are in last place and trail co-leaders Memphis and UTEP by four games. UAB (14-5 overall, 4-2 C-USA) has sole possession of third place.
One problem for UCF has been nagging injuries to guards Marcus Jordan and A.J. Rompza. Jordan is fighting through a sprained ankle and toe injury and Rompza has a foot injury, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Jordan, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound sophomore who is Michael Jordan's son, has been the team's most consistent scorer. He's averaging 15.7 points per game and has reached double digits in 17 of the team's 19 games.
Keith Clanton, a 6-foot-8, 245-pound sophomore, averages 15.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots per game. He gave the Blazers fits last year with 13 points and 15 rebounds in a 53-49 UAB victory.
UAB has an advantage in preparing for the game with former UCF assistant Mike Jaskuksi on the Blazers' coaching staff. Jaskuksi, who spent the past four seasons at UCF and had a hand in recruiting many of the current UCF players, was in charge of tonight's scouting report for the Blazers.
Another person with Orlando ties is UAB sophomore Dexter Fields. Perhaps the best game of his freshman season came during the visit to Orlando when he hit four 3-pointers and scored a team-best 13 points.
Fields has struggled with his shot recently but did he hit a key pointer that gave UAB the lead with less than three minutes left in the 60-56 win over Marshall on Wednesday. Before that, Fields was 2-of-13 on 3-point attempts in conference games.

HC&S should transition from sugar to hemp
Heartfelt congratulations to Vincent Mina, who received the Malama i ka 'Aina award, and Mahina Martin, who received the Onipa'a award at the Sierra Club annual meeting on Feb. 1.
Mahalo also to the Sierra Club for hosting such an informative gathering.
Maui County environmental coordinator Rob Parsons shared with us that one of the top complaints his office receives is about smoke from cane burning. Rep. Kaniela Ing shared that he is working on getting a working group together with both sides of the cane burning issue present at the table. Mina shared with us the benefits of natural farming and actually passed around some natural insulation made out of hemp and a sample block of hempcrete used as a mildew-resistant building material.
I hope Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. can work with the public, county and state agencies on transitioning from sugar to growing and locally processing organic industrial hemp. It could be used to create environmentally friendly building materials, paper and cloth, and remediate the soil. It would be an innovative way to create more jobs and help our island become more self-sufficient without the controversy that surrounds marijuana. It would also keep agricultural lands and jobs in production.
This is just one suggestion, and I'm sure there are many more so I urge our community to continue to work together and look for viable alternatives where the environment, the economy and the community all come out winners.

Today I am going to tell you about the EFTPS that is provided by the IRS to taxpayers that wish to pay their tax bill with a credit card. It is a simple system that you can sign up for and use year after year to pay your taxes. If you e-file your taxes and no longer wish to pay by check or direct deposit this option may be for you.
EFTPS Fees
The EFTPS does charge a fee but may be worth it for the convenience it provides and allowing you to put the bill on your credit card.
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System is a system that is available to both individuals and business and can be accessed online once you have been enrolled.
If you're thinking about becoming a user of the system then give yourself a bit of time because you will not be able to instantly gain access once you have signed up. Average wait time to be given access is usually one week.
EFTPS Requirements
If you are interested in signing up there are a few things you will need to provide to get setup. The first thing if you're an individual is your taxpayer identification number. If you are a business you will need to provide your company's Employer Identification Number. If you aren't sure what they are you can simply call the IRS and obtain them.
Next you will need the account and routing number of the bank account you are going to use to pay your tax bill. If you do not know this information you can obtain it from a check given to you by the bank. The numbers are listed in the lower left hand corner of any check.
Last you will need your name, address and the name that appears on your IRS tax documents.
The Sign Up Process
Signing up is very simple. Go to the EFTPS page (https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/) and following these steps:
Select Enrollment
Select Individual, Business or Federal Agency.
Fill in the information that is asked of you.
Press submit.
And you're done!
In about a weeks' time you should be given your personal identification number that is provided by the EFTPS. Once you receive this information simply return to the EFTPS website and click "Login". Next click "Need a Password". Enter your tax identification number and the PIN you were given from the EFTPS. Last verify the information that you provided in your setup stage and create a password.
Once you have done all this you are ready to go to the EFTPS main page and make a payment.

By Dan King - Newcastle United Club Reporter
The new season hasn't even started yet, but James Tavernier has already won two trophies since the last campaign ended.
United's 20-year-old defender helped to earn the Trofeu Internacional de Futebol do Guadiana on Saturday night, having already skippered the Reserves to the Hong Kong Football Club International Soccer Sevens title earlier this summer.
A 2-1 win over Braga, following on from Friday's draw with Olympiakos, was enough for Newcastle to win the three-team tournament which is in its 12th year.
And Tavernier - who gave another impressive showing against the Portuguese side - told nufc.co.uk: "We wanted to come here and win every single game and obviously win the tournament, which we've done, and we're the first English side to win the tournament which is really good to know.
"It was a great test for the team leading up to the season. It's been a great trip and the Germany trip was great as well so I've really enjoyed it.
"I'm winning a couple of trophies at the minute and it's a good feeling, winning. That's what I want to do: win every single game that I play and I want the team to win every single game they play so it's great that we've got the winning mentality and can push forward and do well."
While winning pre-season trophies is encouraging, however, it doesn't compare to lifting major honours and the Magpies faithful have had to wait a long time since that last happened on Tyneside.
But with the club competing on four fronts next year - the Barclays Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and Carling Cup - Tavernier has set his sights on trying to finally end that barren run.
"It's the aim every season to go in and try and win a trophy," he said. "You look at the Premier League and try and do well to get high in the Premier League next season, but we're in the Europa League now so there will be a lot more games and more competitions so hopefully we can do well in all of the them."
Not only has the Bradford-born youngster gained a taste for trophies in recent weeks, but he's also enjoying being part of the first-team set-up having also travelled to Germany and Austria earlier this month.
For the past two seasons he has largely been honing his skills out on loan but now, having just signed a three-year contract, he is hoping to break into Alan Pardew's side next term.
And he knows that his versatility could help him to do that. Widely regarded as a right-back for much of his life, Tavernier excelled at centre-back against Braga and Fenerbahce in friendly fixtures.
"From the start, I could play right-back and centre-back," he said. "I've done that through my career, playing both positions, and I feel really comfortable in both positions.
"It's good experience when I'm in there with Colo and the experience I get from him really pushes my game and I'll become a better player with everything I learn from him.
"If the gaffer wants me to play centre-back then I'm happy to play centre-back.
"I want to get in the team as quick as I can and keep my place in the team so I'm just going to really push hard every day we're in and really try to catch the eye, and hopefully I can get in the team soon."

St. Tammany bureau
Ten of the 14 fire departments in St. Tammany Parish on Monday will begin operating under a new consolidated dispatching system that officials say will shorten response times to fires and medical emergencies.
Twelve newly-trained dispatchers, at 7 a.m. Monday, will begin around-the-clock shifts at the parish's emergency operations center in downtown Covington alongside dispatchers for the Sheriff's Office and the 911 emergency telephone system.
Dubbed "UniFire" by local officials, the system will have at least three dispatchers on duty at all times, according to Ray Newton, administrator for the parish's 12th Fire Protection District which serves an area surrounding the city of Covington.
Newton said consolidated dispatching has been a much-discussed concept among local fire officials that started to become a reality when the board that oversees the parish's 911 system in May "decided to put its resources into the concept."
The board made room available for UniFire dispatchers at the 911 headquarters in the emergency operations center. The board also committed $300,000 annually to help pay for the new program. Newton said the 10 fire protection districts in the system also will pay $300,000. Each district will pay a pro-rata share of the $300,000 based on the number of emergency calls handled for each district.
Newton said UniFire is designed to shorten response times to fires and medical emergencies. "And if we can save time, we can save lives," he said. "That's the ultimate goal . . . When all your dispatchers are all in one place, it's just so much easier to communicate and respond more quickly to emergencies."
The system also will result in simultaneous dispatch notices to Acadian Ambulance and fire departments, Newton said.
Currently, the parish's largest fire department -- the 1st District -- which serves the 8th and 9th wards in the Slidell area, handles dispatching for the 11th District in the Pearl River area, the 12th District, the 7th District in the parish's 6th Ward, the 10th District in the Sun area, the 3rd District in the Lacombe area and the 2nd District in the Madisonville area.
The 4th District which serves the 4th Ward, including Mandeville, handles its own dispatching.
The Covington Fire Department, the only municipal department in St. Tammany, has its own dispatch system, which also handles calls for the 13th District in the Goodbee area, the 6th District in Lee Road community; the 5th District in Folsom area, the 8th District in the Abita Springs area and the 9th District in the Bush area.
"It's clearly not the way to do it," Newton said.
On Monday, the 1st District will continue to do its own dispatching and handle calls for the 11th District in the Pearl River area. The Covington Fire Department also will retain its own dispatching system, which will continue handling calls for the 13th District in the Goodbee area.
The other 10 departments will become a part of UniFire.
First District Chief Larry Hess said his Slidell-area department did not join UniFire because it would require an estimated $800,000 adjustment to its communications system. "We're on a different system and it would require a significant expenditure in infrastructure," Hess said. "But in the long run, I do think we will join it at some point in time."
Covington Fire Chief Richard Badon said his department is satisfied with its current dispatching. "Why fix something that isn't broke," Badon said. The department's average response time is 3 minutes and 20 seconds. "It's working well, so there's no reason to change it," he said.
Newton said the 12th District agreed to become the sponsor or "host agency" for UniFire with the 12 new civil service dispatcher put on the district's payroll.
The new dispatchers on Wednesday night graduated from an extensive 12-week training program that included visits to each of the 10 fire departments and going on medical calls with Acadian Ambulance.
"All of the trainees spent time in each department . . . to let them see what goes on on the other end of the line," Newton said. "Most of them are nationally-registered EMTs and all of them are qualified to go on medical calls."

Scouting The Allstate Sugar Bowl
Alabama almost made it back to the BCS Championship game yet again, but a miracle in Auburn prevented that from happening. So, 'Bama and all its eight draft prospects will play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma. The Sooners don't have quite as many pro-ready players, but with a handful of draft prospects, they sure aren't lacking in that area. Alabama has a few guys who will go in the first two rounds and others who could possibly slip. Oklahoma has some solid prospects who could be taken in the middle of the draft but may prove more valuable over time.
Deion Belue, CB
Belue has been a solid corner for Alabama. Belue has good speed but just average cover skills. You can't teach instincts, and not that Belue has none, he just isn't as impressive as other corner prospects this season. Look for him to go in the 4th round.
Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix, SS
Clinton-Dix is the best safety prospect in the draft with his size, speed and ball-hawk skills. He reads the quarterback well and pounces on plays consistently, disrupting receivers trying to make catches and ballcarriers alike. He should be a late first-round pick.
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT
Kouandjio says he is "50-50" between entering the draft or staying in school another season. He's 6-foot-6, 310 pounds and created holes for 227.5 rushing yards per game in 2012 and 207.5 rushing yards per game this season. Along with the rest of the Alabama line, Kouandjio only allowed 1.5 sacks this season on AJ McCarron. If he enters the draft, he could be a first round pick.
AJ McCarron, QB
McCarron is one of the most interesting and puzzling prospects in this draft. He can make all the NFL throws, his football IQ is off the charts, and he rarely turns the ball over. However, he has had the best offensive line in the country throughout his career, he hands the ball off to first-round running backs, and he has pretty good receivers getting wide open for him as well. When pressured in the Iron Bowl, McCarron didn't look as great as he usually does. He has the size and smart decision-making to be a franchise QB on paper, but he's yet to prove he can do it without being surrounded by All-Americans. Expect him to be taken late 2nd/early 3rd round of the draft.
CJ Mosley, ILB
Mosley reminds me a lot of Patrick Willis, a stout linebacker with leadership qualities right in the center of the field. Mosley is a traditional-style linebacker who reads plays well, disrupts them, and has the speed to chase down ballcarriers. He's a complete player with intangible qualities and superb tackling ability. He is the best middle linebacker available and should be selected in the middle of the first round.
Kevin Norwood, WR
Norwood has been Mr. Reliable, McCarron's security blanket. He won't blow you away with his speed but he's got great hands, makes every catch he needs to make and is versatile in his route running. He is the quintessential receiver every team needs. Even though he isn't the fastest nor the biggest receiver available, he will be recognized for his ability to do a lot of things very well. He's a 3rd-4th rounder.
Ed Stinson, DE
Stinson is a solid defensive end with great size and average speed at best. I see him more of an interior lineman than an end since teams are opting for leaner, fast guys rushing off the edge. Stinson can sack the quarterback and stuff the run as well, and he can go as early as the third round.
Aaron Colvin, CB
Colvin is a speedy corner who can cover a team's two best receivers. His play recognition is good, allowing him to cheat forward and stuff runs to the outside behind the line of scrimmage. He has good footwork and may go early in the third round.
Gabe Ikard, C
Ikard is a redshirt senior who has started in all four years of his career. He's been recognized as one of the best centers in the nation and was a semifinalist for the Rimington Trophy this season. He won the Wuerffel Trophy, the Selmon Spirit Award and the Don Key Award for his outstanding play. He's one of the five best centers available in the draft and should be taken somewhere in the middle of it all.
Jalen Saunders, WR
Saunders is one of the smallest receivers in the draft at 5-9, 157. He's put together a great career at Oklahoma, with 198 catches, 3,010 yards and 29 total TDs. He's a great punt returner and definitely will be used as one at the next level, as well as a third or fourth receiver in the middle of the field. Saunders has excellent hands and speed and has great value in the 5th round.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - For every Kevin VanDam, there is a Tim Johnston.
VanDam is the heavy favorite to win the 2014 GEICO Bassmaster Classic, which begins Friday on Lake Guntersville and includes daily weigh-ins at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.
Johnston is at the other end of the spectrum. Both Bassmaster and The BASS ZONE tagged the man from Kalispell, Mont., as the equally heavy long shot to complete the tournament as the winner.
Bassmaster put the odds of Johnston winning the major tournament at 150 to 1. Johnston is taking the distinction in stride.
"I think it makes it kind of fun," he said at Media Day at Regions Field. "You get to talk about it a little bit."

The Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X is a system of sensors placed around an airport and in aircraft that allows air traffic controllers to monitor aircraft as they travel on airport grounds. It alerts controllers when planes may collide with each other or with fuel or other trucks.
Miami is the 20th airport to receive the system through the Federal Aviation Administration's program to bring the technology to 35 airports.
The system "is an important runway safety tool that provides the controller with advanced conflict detection and alerting capability to enhance runway safety," said Marc Viggiano, Sensis' chief operating officer. "The improved situational awareness provides controllers with the insight needed to safely increase the efficiency of runway operations."

Highmark said Wednesday it enrolled more than 181,000 people in Obamacare health insurance plans during the open enrollment period that ended at midnight Monday.
That included 148,003 people in Pennsylvania, 20,131 in Virginia and 13,013 in Delaware.
Highmark is "extremely pleased" with the number of enrollments, and doesn't believe enrollment was significantly held down by the massive problems that plagued the roll-out of the federally-run exchange serving 36 states including Pennsylvania.
"There's no reason to think (applicants) didn't get through if they wanted to get through," spokesman Leilyn Perri said.
Of the overall numbers, Perri said, "I think we actually exceeded our expectations."
Perri said he couldn't yet provide breakdowns on things such as the proportions of enrollees who are young and healthy and those who are older and sicker.
Nor did Highmark say how many of the new enrollees were previously uninsured, or who had their previous coverage canceled because it didn't meet Affordable Care Act requirements.
Highmark said 53 percent of enrollees in Pennsylvania are new members, as are 63 percent in West Virginia and 67 percent in Delaware. These enrollees may have been uninsured or may have been insured by another insurer, Highmark noted.
About 128,000 of the new enrollees enrolled via the federally-run exchange, and the rest enrolled directly with Highmark.
Perri estimated that more than 90 percent of the new enrollees have paid at least one premium — the final step in becoming officially insured.
The Obama administration said national enrollment topped 7 million — the amount expected before the glitches that plagued the exchange for about two months.

They say you can taste the flavours of the countryside where a lamb is reared and certainly this is true of the wonderful lamb we get here in Cavan, close to the Sligo border where the flavour of wild garlic sometimes permeates the meat. Irish lamb is best between March and September.
- 2 racks of lamb (trimmed, ask your butcher to do this for you)
- 50 g fresh white breadcrumbs
- small bunch fresh basil, mint and parsley (stalks removed)
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 225 g fresh spinach (tough stalks removed)
- 25 g butter
- for the red wine sauce:
- 1 tblsp balsamic vinegar
- 150 ml red wine
- 1 tsp light muscovado sugar
- 150 ml beef or lamb stock
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- for the potato gratin:
- 300 ml milk
- 300 ml cream
- 4 garlic cloves (crushed)
- pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- 450 g potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 50 g cheddar cheese, grated
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Lamb is a huge favourite in the resturant and rarely off the menu. They say you can taste the flavours of the countryside where a lamb is reared and certainly this is true of the wonderful lamb we get here in Cavan, close to the Sligo border where the flavour of wild garlic sometimes permeates the meat. Irish lamb is best between March and September.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F/Gas 3).
- First, make the gratin. Heat the milk and cream in a pan. Add the garlic and nutmeg and season well. Arrange the potatoes neatly in an ovenproof dish, making sure the top layer looks really nice and carefully pour the milk mixture on top. Cover with parchment paper and tin foil and place in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove, sprinkle over the cheese and return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is browned and bubbling on top. Keep warm.
- Meanwhile, make the red wine sauce. Heat a small pan and pour in the vinegar and red wine. Boil until reduced by half and then add the sugar, stock and thyme and reduce to a sauce consistency which should coat the back of a spoon. Pass the sauce through a sieve, season to taste and keep warm.
- In another pan, melt the butter over a medium heat and cook the spinach until soft and wilted. Season to taste, drain off any excess liquid and keep warm.
- Increase the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4) and prepare the lamb. Blend the breadcrumbs with the fresh herbs in the food processor for 2-3 minutes.
- Brush the lamb flesh with the mustard and then press the herb crumbs onto the mustard side of the lamb.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and put the lamb in to seal it on all sides for about 2 minutes. Place in a roasting dish and put in the oven for 8-10 minutes if you like your lamb pink in the middle. If you want it more well done, leave it in for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove and leave to rest in a warm place for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
- Arrange some spinach on each warmed plate and add a portion of the potato gratin to each one. Carve the lamb into cutlets and arrange on top of the spinach. Drizzle around a little of the red wine sauce to serve.

To the Editor:
We all read last week about the New York State Thruway Authority laying off 192 full-time employees and the state Canal Corp. laying off 42 full-time employees statewide. What was not reported was that the majority of the 42 employees being laid off at the Canal Corp. are full-time canal lock operators.
The Syracuse Canal Section has 12 full-time canal lock operators and 10 of them are slated to be laid off April 3. This is a month before the time the canal normally opens. How much sense does this make?
These locks required all of the full-time employees plus a seasonal staff to operate normally before, so I suppose this layoff will mean the locks will be open fewer hours each day for boating traffic this season.
By the way, each canal section across the state will be losing full-time lock operators because the layoff targets a specific job title. Call your state senator and assembly person if you feel strongly about this plan.

Alex Hall?
"I did a cannonball," the Browns' newest pass rush hope said Thursday.
The angular linebacker from Division II Saint Augustine's College has gone from seventh-round draft choice to all-Berea in preseason to hopeful savior for the Browns' beleaguered pass rush.
Hall will not only play in his NFL debut against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, he will be counted on as a result of a season-ending knee injury to Antwan Peek.
Peek, who was on schedule to return for the opener from July 31 knee surgery, tore the patella tendon in his right knee at Wednesday's practice and had major surgery Thursday morning, coach Romeo Crennel said.
To fill Peek's roster spot, the Browns called back veteran linebacker Shantee Orr, who didn't make the final roster cut last Saturday.
Orr, in his fifth season, was signed in free agency after Chaun Thompson defected to Houston. He saw time at inside and outside linebacker in the preseason and was supposed to play an integral role on special teams.
It was Hall's meteoric rise that indirectly caused the release of Orr and David McMillan, another linebacker/rusher who never advanced as a prospect.
At the cutdown, General Manager Phil Savage said, "Alex is a guy we were pretty excited about getting on draft day as probably more of a developmental kind of guy. For him to play as much as he has, play both outside linebacker spots, show some rush ability -- he's come a long way in a short time.
"I think we feel he can become a legitimate player. Whether that's now or in 12 months, we'll find out."
They'll find out sooner than hoped.
Without Peek playing a game in preseason, the Browns recorded only two sacks in four exhibition games. That included one quarter in Detroit in which lineman Shaun Rogers repeatedly set up third-and-long situations with run stops, only to see Jon Kitna convert most of them with passes on the run.
"It was unfortunate to lose Peek," Wimbley said. "He was a good player, but we have guys willing and able to step in and perform well."
Crennel said that all the outside linebackers will play in hopes of keeping everyone fresh. The Browns might have to use Willie McGinest, officially the NFL's oldest starting linebacker at 36, more than they had planned.
"We might have to," Crennel said. "He's done that before, too. But I think if we can keep the guys fresh, overall the production will be better."
Certainly, Hall has the opportunity now to make the biggest impact among the depleted 2008 rookie class. He was formally told on Thursday that he was named winner of the Maurice Bassett Award, presented to the Browns outstanding rookie by the local chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America.
"These past couple months have been pretty whirlwindish," said Hall.
He's the only NFL player ever to come out of Saint Augustine's, a small liberal arts college in Raleigh, N.C., whose enrollment, Hall estimated, was about one-half that of his high school in Springdale, Md.
Hall, 6-5 and 250 pounds, holds the school record of 26 sacks in 30 games. He did it playing against the likes of Mars Hill, Carson-Newman and North Carolina Central.
"It is a big difference," Hall said with a laugh. "But I'm ready. It is a really big jump. But they didn't bring me here to sit around and look."
Wimbley, who played in his first game (but didn't start) as a rookie from Florida State, said, "I think he'll be fine. He showed poise in the preseason games. I think he has the ability to play in the NFL or else we wouldn't have kept him."
Linebacker Andra Davis also gave Hall a vote of confidence.
"I think he's doing great," Davis said. "He's a very humble guy. He just comes to work, works hard, he listens well. He's definitely going to have step up now that 'Twan is out. But we believe in him and know he can get it done."
He has to. Either Hall swims after his cannonball, or he sinks.
