Holiday spirits are up but budgets are down, and that makes the celebratory month of December a challenge for gastronomes and party people. There are ways around that sky-high New Year's Eve price tag, especially if you head for places in their low seasons.
The White Barn Inn, a Relais & Châteaux property in the Maine tourist town of Kennebunkport, is priced for an elite clientele during summer, but is more affordable in winter. Simply forget about sun and sand. Pack a parka and enjoy the charms of this exceptional inn and dining room at discounted rates.
The White Barn's dining room, under the direction of executive chef Jonathan Cartwright, is the only AAA Five-Diamond and Mobil Five-Star restaurant northeast of New York City. Cartwright is planning a decadent dinner with dishes like truffle ravioli, pheasant with foie gras and his signature Maine lobster dish. During the second seating, the price includes unlimited Champagne for the entire evening. There will be a three-piece band, party hats, tiaras and noise makers.
Even the least expensive rooms at the White Barn Inn are divine. Try the Traditional Room, with its New England antiques, hand-painted furniture, plasma televisions and Hypnos mattresses, like those used by Britain's royal family.
If you have had a taste of the sublime White Barn Inn, liked it and want to stay in the area, consider an affiliated property. The Beach House Inn is a sumptuous mini-version of the White Barn with the added attraction of an oceanfront setting on the outskirts of Kennebunkport. Here, too, the decor is elegant, the rooms splendid and the ambience genteel.
Breakfast and afternoon tea are part of the deal, and New Year's Eve dinner will be served at a restaurant owned by the White Barn people, so you can expect top quality. Grissini's is a stylish northern Italian bistro that serves gourmet pizza and pasta, grilled chicken, hangar steak and lobster ravioli. The Dec. 31 gala will include an opera recital, lobster and shrimp risotto, grilled tenderloin and quails.
The best pastime at The Beach House Inn is snuggling into a chintz sofa and gazing out at the moody Atlantic. However, for adventurers, the inn is offering a Cold Weather Surfing Package with lessons on how to conquer the chilling ocean swells. You'll want that steaming afternoon tea afterward. It's served with chocolate chip cookies baked at the White Barn Inn.
Closer to home, Auberge Handfield creates charming, lively celebrations for Christmas and New Year's Eve with a soupçon of Old Quebec. The vintage inn on the Richelieu River is known for gourmet cuisine at relatively moderate prices, especially during winter, its low season.
Only a 40-minute drive from Montreal, the auberge is pure country - a century-old farmhouse with age-darkened knotty pine walls, a huge fireplace in the dining room, china cabinets filled with treasures and plates embossed with the Handfield crest.
"We call our holiday dinners réveillons - an old French word that really means late-night party," said Pierre Handfield, the third-generation owner. "We start in the afternoon with a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh and then warm up at a bonfire with hot chocolate or a shot of caribou."
Later, guests dress for cocktails, dinner and dancing to a one-man band. Handfield is definitely not stuffy: at midnight on Dec. 31, guests form a conga line and shimmy and shake through the kitchen, finishing off with a festive glass of sparkling wine.
For New Year's Eve, called the Soirée St. Sylvestre, executive chef Nicolas Simard is crafting a feast with delicacies like foie gras, lobster and filet mignon. The Christmas menu will feature standing rib roast, stuffed turkey with cranberry sauce, tuna or venison.
Brunch at Handfield is a big deal every Sunday, but especially during the holidays when the buffet will feature roast beef, leg of lamb and eggs Benedict. As a nod to the traditional Quebec cuisine with which Handfield built its reputation in the 1940s, brunch also includes tourtière, old-style meatballs and baked beans with maple syrup.
This isn't your grandmother's Handfield. It has evolved into a comfortable, unpretentious resort with 38 newly renovated rooms scattered throughout large cottages and a modern wing attached to Spa Les Thermes. Some rooms have river views, whirlpool tubs and fireplaces.

Posted on April 10, 2013
What can be fun is when you get a donation from someone who's in the business. We went into a wildly expensive apartment once upon a time, and had our brains boggled by the sight of hundreds of cheap paperbacks on dark, built-in bookcases. Looking more closely, we found that what we had were all the books published by a particular paperback house between about 1958 and 1975, the years the owner had worked for the company. Most of them had never been read, because she'd worked on the books while they were being produced and didn't NEED to read the final product. She had just put them on the shelf as a souvenir of where she'd been, and then gave them all to us.
And what was something like that worth? Well, not a whole bunch: the company hadn't published many authors who turned out to be collectible. The two or three that did certainly paid for our gas and our time, but it was more a matter of being able to say "Wow!" as we looked it all over.
I was pricing records again last night and opened a couple of boxes which had been packed by a man involved with a company that designed album covers. So, naturally, he wound up with a collection of LPs he never bothered to open: the music inside didn't interest him but he helped make the album. This collection of LPs from the mid to late 1970s will bear a little more research. Who knows what a pristine, never-opened copy of "Barry Manilow: Live!" might be worth to the right collector?
Of course, when I sell things like this, the question always comes up: Why? Why would anybody buy something for which the main attraction is that it has never been opened? If it's a book, you can't read it, and if it's a record, you can't play it. Because once you do that, you no longer have a pristine unopened item. (In the comic book world, the phrase is "You got eyetracks all over it!") If you want to preserve the value of what you just bought, you must NEVER, NEVER use it. So why bother?
Well, you can get some use out of it by bragging about it. "See that? That is a bottle of the very first version of Diet Dr. Pepper, and it has never been opened." After all, how many other kids on the block have one?
The most amazing sale I ever had along those lines was a rare and unusual item: so rare and unusual no one had any idea what it was worth. Return with me briefly to the thrilling days of yesteryear and I'll describe it.
In 1930, the Lakeside Press in Chicago produced beautiful editions of four iconic American books: Herman Melville's Moby Dick, Edgar Allan Poe's Tales, Richard Henry Dana, Jr.'s Two Years Before the Mast, and Henry David Thoreau's Walden. The one you really want is Moby Dick, produced in 3 volumes in an aluminum slipcase with illustrations by Rockwell Kent: you can get a run-of-the-mill copy for about $5,000, but a really good one will take you into five figures. The others will run you $300 to $500 each.
Lakeside was part of the R.R. Donnelley & Sons publishing empire (see the Guinness Book of Records) and when their archives moved to the Newberry, many duplicate items were sent down to the Book Fair. Among these was a bundle wrapped in old blue paper and taped up with old packing tape, on which was stamped "Poe. Tales." It obviously dated from around 1930, and had to have some connection with that quartet of great books.
But what was it? It hardly seemed big enough to be the book and, in any case, why wrap a single copy of the book, no matter how nice it was, in blue paper and leave it in a drawer for over seventy years?
I showed it to the first Lakeside collector who happened through, hoping for guidance. He reached for his pocket. "I have to have it."
I held it behind my back. "First, tell me what it is."
"I have no idea," he said. "But I bet nobody else has one."
He counted out a number of small but significant pieces of paper. I asked him once, some years ago, if he had ever opened it. He shook his head, a little ruefully. For all we will ever know, some joker at the Lakeside Press just wound blue paper around a rubber eraser, taped it shut, and rubber stamped those two words on the wrapper.
It was a good sale, I guess: neither of us will ever know who got the better bargain. But someday, when the kryptonite wears off, I'm flying over to his house to try my X-ray vision on that bundle.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Pray for snow.
That's about all Southwestern water users can do as the drought-stricken Colorado River enters what figures to be its most important snow season in recent memory.
After 14 years of record drought, it will take an unusually wet year — one like the basin saw in 2011 — to stave off the first-ever water shortages on the overdrawn river and slow the decline of its two main reservoirs.
Lake Mead, the source for 90 percent of the Las Vegas Valley's water supply, has seen its surface fall by more than 100 feet since the drought began. Current projections call for it to lose another 25 vertical feet of water and sink to a record low by November 2014.
Should the lake keep falling from there, it could force the shutdown of one of two intake pipes used to deliver water to the valley. The Southern Nevada Water Authority is rushing to complete a new $817 million intake that will draw from the deepest part of the reservoir, but the complicated project is unlikely to be finished until late next year or early 2015.
"This is an alarming trend, and one that we would really like to see come to an end," water authority spokesman J.C. Davis told the Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://bit.ly/15PQXWa). "Even if we have an 'average' year on the Colorado this year, Lake Mead is projected to continue falling. In order to make a significant dent, we would need at a minimum something on the order of 150 percent of normal."
Almost all of the river's flow starts as snow that collects in the mountains of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming from November to late May. Lake Powell, on the Utah-Arizona border, fills with that water in early summer, rising sometimes by a foot or more a day as the snow starts to melt and water flows downstream.
The federal water regulators mark time on a similar schedule with a water year that runs from Oct. 1, when the first snow begins to collect in the mountains that feed the river, to Sept. 30, when the last of the runoff hits Lake Powell.
"We're just into the 2014 water year now," said Angus Goodbody, water supply forecaster for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Portland, Ore. "Usually by the end of October is when the seasonal snowpack is starting to build. It will be interesting to see what happens."
At least one commercial weather service is predicting a white winter where it will matter most.
Pennsylvania-based AccuWeather is forecasting a wet, snowy season in the Northwest, the Rockies and in California, where heavy precipitation in December and January could help fill reservoirs drained by dry conditions in that state.
"I think this can definitely alleviate some drought issues," said Paul Pastelok, a long-range forecaster for AccuWeather.com.
Just don't get your hopes up quite yet, Goodbody said. "I'd be reluctant to put a whole lot of stock in forecasts like that. They're fairly low-skill."
Long-range forecasts for the Rockies are tricky because the mountains rest between two areas generally influenced by the El Niño and La Niña weather phenomena. It's even more complicated right now, Goodbody said, because the climate is in what he called a "neutral phase" between El Niño and La Niña.
But the stage is set for a good winter on the Colorado.
The heavy downpours that triggered devastating floods in eastern Colorado last month also soaked the headwaters for the river, moistening soil left parched by the long dry spell. Goodbody said that could allow more snowmelt to flow down into the river system rather than be absorbed by the dry ground.
The flow of water into Lake Powell was more than twice what it normally is in September, which is the driest month of most water years but ranked as the third wettest of water year 2013.
That's almost unheard of, Goodbody said, and it serves to illustrate just how unusually wet September was and how unusually dry it was during the rest of last year.
The stakes are high this snow season, and not just for southern Nevada. The Colorado supplies water to more than 30 million people across a region that produces roughly a quarter of the nation's gross domestic product.
Under normal conditions, Lake Powell releases at least 8.23 million acre-feet of water a year downstream to Lake Mead for use by Nevada, Arizona, California and Mexico. This year's release was cut to 7.48 million acre-feet, the lowest amount ever, to slow the decline of the upstream reservoir.
Each lake is now more than half empty, and the combined amount of water left in them is nearing its lowest point since Powell was filled for the first time.
Even in an average year, the Colorado does not carry enough water to fill the allocations parceled out decades ago to seven Western states and Mexico.
Nevada's annual share is 300,000 acre-feet, or about 2 percent of the total. If the Las Vegas Valley went one year without using any water from Lake Mead, the impact on the reservoir would be a rise of about 3 feet.
One acre-foot of water is more than enough to serve two average valley homes for a year.
"Under the most likely scenario," Davis said, the release from Lake Powell to Lake Mead will be cut to 7.48 million acre-feet again next year, pushing Mead even lower.
The only thing that can change that now is snow.

Leave it up to a kid who doesn't know much about the deeply-rooted rivalry between Columbine and Chatfield to score the winning goal in a game that meant so much to both schools.
Mickey Salva, a sophomore who transferred from Chattahoochee High School outside of Atlanta, Georgia, scored the game-winning goal in overtime last Wednesday night, which gave the Chatfield boys hockey team a 2-1 Class 5A Foothills Conference victory and bragging rights on the ice.

This is part of a series of daily blogging prompts entitled Fearless Females created by Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog in honor of Women's History Month which starts today, 1 March 2010.
Here are the prompts – consider honoring your female ancestors by posting at your genealogy or family history blog!
* March 3
Do you share a first name with one of your female ancestors?
Perhaps you were named for your great-grandmother, or your name follows a particular naming pattern. If not, then list the most unique or unusual female first name you've come across in your family tree.
We pause for the discussion on Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, to be able to answer the question of the day. However, it does "honor' a female ancestor. This time, my Great-Grandmother
As with many Quaker families, naming patterns exist down through the generations. I am one of them.
For those that know me, may know that I go by my middle name, not my first name. AND I have "III" or 3rd at the end of my name. Because my family lived on the same property as my paternal grandparents, I guess, I was to be called by my middle name, like my grandfather. My dad, was called by his first name.
Looking back, my Grandfather's Grandfather was named Henry Wilson Worthington. So, we know where my grandfather, my father, and I got our first name from. BUT, where did our middle name come from? Oh, this will take a minute, but will get at the question of the day.
My grandfather's parents died in Kansas in the 1890's and he, and his next younger brother and sister were put on a train from Kansas to Philadelphia, where they were met (but there is a long story here) and were taken to New Jersey, to live with their Grandmother, Elizabeth Willits Worthington.
In doing some research in the 1900 Census, I knew where I should have found my Grandfather. I knew that he graduated from the Moorestown Friends School in 1907. So, he should have been in NJ 1900 Census. Didn't find him. (At the time I did the search, not all names were indexed).
A little frustrated in not being able to find him nor his grandmother, I checked my notes on her to find that she had been married a second time. Searching for Elizabeth with a different surname, I found her.
Elizabeth Willits was married to Henry Wilson Worthington. They had Samuel, Sarah, Jeremiah Willits, Henry Wilson, Jr., Elizabeth Farnum, and Nathan B. Leads as children. Still no hint about where Russell fit in. The other names or parts of names can be explained looking at the family structure.
Looking at these families, Grandfather Samuel's second sister married a Henry C. Russell, whose father was Henry Russell, of Ireland.
Most of the Russell's are buried in the Friends South-Western Burial Ground in Philadelphia.
So, to answer the question, my name was handed down from the marriage of Elizabeth Farnum Worthington.
So, the mystery of how we (three) got our names was answered in a family letter, not in my possession, after a "dear friend".

INKSTER, Mich. (AP) -- A 113-year-old woman from the Detroit area became the oldest person in the U.S. when a Florida woman of the same age died last month.
According to the Gerontology Research Group, Jeralean Talley of Inkster is the third-oldest person in the world. She earned the title of oldest American when Elsie Thompson of Clearwater, Fla., died March 21, just weeks before her 114th birthday.
Talley was born May 23, 1899, in Montrose, Ga. When asked why she thinks she has lived so long, Talley lifted her arm and pointed to the sky, telling the Detroit Free Press "Don't ask me. Ask Him."
The Gerontology Research Group verifies age information for Guinness World Records. It says the world's two oldest people are 115 and live in Japan.

ERIE -- Christine Appel's oldest sons were born with her mechanical and athletic skills, but she will never know where her youngest son got his long eyelashes.
"People say he has my eyes and I'll take it even if it's not true," Appel said. "Unless we say something, people would never know he's adopted."
Michael, 4, moved in with the Erie family as a foster child when he was 10 months old and was adopted by the Appels in 2010.
Fostering was more of a means to an end for Christine Appel, who said she always wanted to adopt but never thought she could be a foster parent.
The thought of bonding with a child and then having to give them up was too much to bear until some of the parents from her son's kindergarten class changed Appel's mind.
"Going into it the foster care part of it wasn't what we were interested in," Appel said. "We were interested in adopting, but, OK, we'll suffer through this because the end is good, but I think when Michael is a little older, I'd like to foster again."
The Appels were confronted with their biggest fear in 2009 when they were asked to take in a little boy for two weeks during an emergency.
Six months later, the family said goodbye to their first foster child when he was placed with his estranged sibling. Michael arrived a few months later.
Now, Appel said life with three boys -- Zach, 11, Graeme, 8 and Michael -- is fun, busy, loud and pretty typical.
"I'm not a foster mom anymore, I'm just a regular mom, trying to carve out my little moments of sanity," she said.
Appel's Mother's Day will likely be filled with family time and a lot of noise, but Longmont mom Rosemary Cady is expecting a quiet Sunday.
Her oldest son, Balacs, wished her a happy Mother's Day last weekend, which is when the holiday is celebrated in his home country, Hungary.
The family adopted Balacs, 18, while doing church work abroad, Cady said. Balacs was 14 when he was taken in as a foster child by the Cadys, who adopted him before moving back to Colorado.
Unlike Cady's younger children, Balacs calls her by her first name and refers to his birth mother as "mom."
"It's definitely different than my relationship with my younger kids, but he's still our child," Cady said. "He's a lot more independent than my younger ones but he still needs the same love and care that the little ones do."
There is no special characteristic or unique ability that makes a good foster or adoptive mom, the women agreed.
Regardless of the situation, Appel said, love is what children need the most.
"I think moms know, it's all about loving your kids for who they are," she said. "Michael may have those mysterious eyelashes, but he is still one of us and nothing will change that."

Duke Results l Complete Results
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The men's and women's middle distance and distance groups served as the highlight as the Blue Devils closed out the Armory Collegiate Invitational Saturday, February 2 in New York, N.Y. The men's 4x800 had the top finish of the day finishing in second place with a time of 7:30.24. The quartet of sophomores Henry Farley, Kyle Moran and Nate McClafferty along with freshman Michal Filipczak finished one tenth of a second behind winner Columbia and claimed the fourth fastest time in Duke school history.
Earlier in the day, senior Mike Moverman raced in the championship division of 3,000 meter, setting a personal record by completing the distance in 8:07.91 for third place overall. This mark also places him fourth on Duke's all-time list.
On the women's side, Duke sophomore Kelsey Lakowske, who earned All-America honors in a break out cross country season this fall, led a trio of Blue Devils in the women's 3,000m finishing in 9:41.38 to finish third in a competitive field. Senior Esther Vermeer was right behind her, finishing in 9:45.17 in fourth while Jessie Rubin finished in fifth with a time of 9:47.49.
In the women's 800m, freshman Anima Banks had another impressive race early in her Duke career, crossing the line fourth with a time of 2:07.64. Senior Cydney Ross was directly on her heels finishing in fifth with a personal record time of 2:07.77. The two women's times placed them third and fourth on Duke's all-time list. Sophomore Abby Farley also competed in the event placing twelfth in the field with a time of 2:12.55.
The women's 4x400 finished in fourth place in the collegiate division with a time of 3:46.15. The relay was led off by sophomores Lauren Hansson and Alexis Roper and also included junior Hannah Goranson and sophomore Elizabeth Kerpon. The time run by the quartet was the fastest of the season so far and placed third on Duke's all-time list.
Duke will return to action next weekend, February 8-9 with most of the team traveling to the Virginia Tech Elite Meet in Blacksburg, Va. Also, a handful of Blue Devils will travel west to compete in the Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash., on the same days. For more information, check out www.GoDuke.com .

John has been on UAB's campus for seven years. In that time, he received his B.A. in English and is currently finishing his thesis requirement for his MA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. John has focused much of his research on the "outlaw" culture and the study of violence in literature. His poetry thesis focuses on the tensions between the two sides of his family entitled Hell Raisers and the Holy Rollers.
When asked what inspired him to choose UAB for his graduate studies, John explained, "As an undergraduate, the faculty and staff here at UAB, especially in the English Department, were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated to making me a better student and a better person. After talking with some of my friends at other universities, I realized how fortunate I was to have such wonderful mentors. I knew that continuing my studies at this university would be a rewarding experience and that I would have the guidance I needed to take my work to the next level."
Academic awards and honors John has received at UAB have been numerous. He was inducted into Sigma Tau Delta as an undergraduate. As a graduate student, he feels fortunate to be awarded the Gloria Goldstein Howton Scholarship in Creative Writing and the Samuel B. Barker Award for Excellence in Graduate Studies.
John believes his most rewarding experience at UAB would have to be working with the high school students in the Ada Long Creative Writing Program, which is held every summer at UAB. "I have always believed that a good teacher learns as much from his students as they do from him. I definitely feel that this is the case with the Ada Long program."
John's two greatest influences at UAB have been Tony Crunk and Dr. William Hutchings. "Tony Crunk has been the biggest influence on my creative writing. He has not only taught me how to be a better writer, he has opened my eyes to why writing is so important. His guidance has been priceless. On the literature side of things, I would definitely say that Dr. William Hutchings has been the biggest influence. He has been pushing me to excel from day one and he is probably one of the most intelligent people I know."
What's John's advice for other graduate students? "Work hard to keep your grades up, but remember that true learning is about more than a GPA. Put your knowledge to use. Participate in events like graduate research day, conferences, etc. In addition, see if you can get involved in your community. It will remind you why you love to do what you do."
After graduating, John plans to teach for a year while putting together applications for PhD programs and a few law schools. After that, he would like to return to Birmingham and give back to the community that has given so much to him. "There have been a lot of people that have helped me over the years and I want to be in a position to do the same for others. There are a great many talented people living in this city that are waiting for someone to believe in them and give them an opportunity to excel. I hope to be able help some of these individuals get that opportunity."
John is the recipient of the 2007 Samuel B. Barker Award for Excellence in Graduate Studies at the Master's Level.

Jacobson Gives a Stirring Nagurski Speech
Buried in the avalanche of all the college football awards shows on national television was a stirring speech in Charlotte, N.C., from Nebraska's first of an NCAA record eight Outland Trophy winners. When Larry Jacobson accepted the 2012 Bronko Nagurski Legends Award, it was "inspiring and heartfelt from one of college football's true legends," said John Rocco, president of the Charlotte Touchdown Club. "We had 950 people in the room, and you could hear a pin drop. Larry conveyed so many important things in an unbelievably humble manner. He gave credit for his many past accolades not to himself, but to his teammates and his coaches! In every aspect of Larry's speech, it was always about The Team!"
Jim Hertwig, CEO for the Florida East Coast Railway, the presenting sponsor of the Legends Award, echoed what Rocco shared with me. "The evening was amazing," Hertwig said, "and it was an extreme pleasure having Larry and his family (wife Kathy and daughter Amy) at our table. Larry spoke from the heart and amplified an important theme. Over the decades, we all learn that life isn't really about "me". It's about everyone around you. It's about the teammates you played with, the relationships you form, and the bonds you share. That's what creates success, and that's what transcends time. Larry's message was very powerful for our record audience, and it was important for both the young and the old to hear."
Jacobson: Did Someone Call the Wrong Number?
In thanking Rocco, Jacobson admitted that when he was called and informed of the award last spring, "I thought John had gotten the wrong Larry Jacobson," he said. "When I saw the list of past recipients, well … let's just say it's still hard to believe I was standing up there in front of that group of people and the Football Writers Association of America, which voted on the award."
A star defensive tackle on Nebraska's back-to-back national championship teams in 1970 and 1971. Jacobson was a pioneer for the Huskers. He was an All-American, an Academic All-American, a first-round NFL draft choice and a trailblazer for all who followed his lead, including Ndamukong Suh, who shared those same accolades and went beyond, including winning his own Nagurski trophy immediately (not the Legends award).
Jacobson is quick to point out that every honor that came his way "wouldn't have been possible without the exceptionally talented players who were my teammates and the icons who were our coaches," he said. "I mean, I played with Johnny Rodgers, who won the Heisman, and played right next to Rich Glover, who won the Outland, plus a Lombardi (the next year)."
On the Same Staff: Devaney, Kiffin, Alvarez, Osborne
"We had such coaches as Bob Devaney, Monte Kiffin, Barry Alvarez and Tom Osborne – all on the same staff!" Jacobson said. "Just last year, Sporting News magazine named our 1971 team college football's best of all time. Twenty-five players on that team went on to play in the NFL, and you have to remember there weren't nearly as many pro teams then as there is now."
In Jacobson's era, the Big Eight was the nation's most powerful conference. "In 1971, we finished first in the final poll, Oklahoma second and Colorado third," he pointed out. "We had three shutouts in '71 and only three teams scored more than one touchdown against us while we were scoring from 31 to 55 points every game. The only game we trailed in all season was against Oklahoma, and we're still proud about that game being routinely referred to as the Game of the Century.
"I'm often asked what I remember most," Jacobson said. "For me, it's my teammates, and they're also what I miss the most. Over the years, I've come to sincerely appreciate the bond we developed as we played together in the trenches. We picked each other up and were determined not to let anyone beat us. It's all about working together toward a goal – to be the best in the nation – that I cherish the most. In the past few years, when I've had the opportunity to be on the sidelines, it brings back just how hard players have to work and how much they have sacrifice to get to the top."
A Meaningful Message: Dream Beyond the NFL
Rocco and Hertwig relished Jacobson recognizing the accomplishments of all Nagurski award finalists and encouraging them to be student-athletes. "Remember the importance of working hard in the classroom," said Jacobson, who could speak from experience on why that was so important for him.
"We all know that football is an aggressive sport and even with precautions, everyone is always one injury away from not being able to play anymore," Jacobson said, explaining how his accounting degree became infinitely more important than his awards on the field.
"As it turned out, in my fourth year with the New York Giants, I suffered a career-ending injury," Jacobson said. "But with my degree, I was able to go back to Nebraska and enjoy more than 30 years as an investment advisor before retiring from Morgan Stanley."
Jacobson ended his speech telling the Nagurski Award finalists that he looked forward to watching them play in the NFL. But if their football careers are cut short or they do not play professionally, he's confident they will apply the same competitive principles they learned from football to succeed in life.

firstname.lastname@example.com�LITCHFIELD � The Litchfield City Council began discussion Tuesday night on updating the city�s recreation plan.
�The current plan, registered with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, is set to expire next year.
�City Manager Doug Terry said the city needs to think long-term when it comes to making its recreation plan.
�Terry recommended hiring Jones & Henry Engineers to develop a new recreation plan for the city that would span five years.
�We are unique because we have a swimming pool,� said Terry. �We need to make it a priority because we have past and present citizens that are interested in helping with projects.�
He said having a plan would give people who want to donate the confidence to do so.
Jamie Harmon, a professional engineer with Jones & Henry, was on hand to answer questions from the board.
She said the key aspect of creating a new plan is to get the input of citizens. The plan would also feature an inventory of all the parks and recreation facilities in the town.
To qualify for state grants the city must have an improved recreation plan from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
�The idea is to start getting ready for next year�s grant cycle,� Terry said.
The board tabled the approval of hiring Jones & Henry Engineers after learning that the development of the plan would cost the city $6,500. The city would also have to pay for each grant application the firm files for them.
The board also discussed the purchasing of a 1986 Sunvac Street Sweeper from the Village of Quincy. After much discussion on the issue the board approved the purchase of the street sweeper for up to $6,000.
For a number of years the city has contracted with an independent contractor out of Quincy to sweep the city streets. The independent contractor retired, leaving the city looking for other options.
Terry said the street sweeper was in good conditions for its age, with only a few repairs needed.�
Several of the board members questioned why Quincy was selling the unit. Terry reassured them that the unit was a good buy.
�I�m not going to buy a piece junk; I don�t have the staff to do so,� Terry said.
Mayor Ed Smith said he thought it was a good move to purchase the piece of equipment.
The board also approved the spending of up to $30,000 to replace the West Saint Joe lift station. The money was budgeted in the 2012-13 budget.
Terry said it is something that needs to be replaced.
The only other piece of business on the agenda was the approval of a resolution for the city�s deficit elimination plan for Major Street Fund.
Board looks at city's recreation plan

Who really pays the costs for sports fields?
The Nov. 24 article about the master-plan finalist contained the following message: "Sports teams that use park-maintained soccer fields will be asked to bear 50 percent of the upkeep costs." Does anyone see what's wrong with this idea? Don't we already pay ALL of the costs? If not, then who is?

Avenue Barber Shop All cuts and styles for men and boys
If you think the days of fades and buzzes are a thing of the past, then you haven't been to the bright and clean new barber shop in town, Avenue Barber Shop - aptly named for its location on Warwick Avenue. Kristin and Keri, once barbers/stylists at the former "Trim" barber shop at this same location, know how to cut men's hair, and they will give you the VIP treatment when you arrive at this welcoming new shop. Here you will find any men's cut, color or style you could want, from today's hip "Temp" (also known as Pauly D's "do" from the Jersey Shore) to the traditional "High & Tight" cut. This shop offers affordable, manicured cuts for men and boys of all ages.
Using Woody's and Club Men, products made exclusively for men, Kristin and Keri will cut or color your hair to your exact specifications. They are experienced barbers who are skilled in all men's cuts, including fades, buzzes, scissor cuts, and even Straight Razor cuts - a technique not often done by women barbers. As an added bonus, each cut is accompanied by a scalp massage and shampoo - for no extra charge. The gals here will also trim those beards and mustaches so you are ready to take on the day. They will also wax brows for those men who are "manly" enough to know when their eyebrows need a more controlled look. Soon, Kristin and Keri will be introducing "straight razor" face shaves as well - so stay tuned!
Avenue Barber Shop offers great rates on their cuts and colors. Men's haircuts are $17 (including that great scalp massage and wash!), boys under 12 and those in the "65 and wiser" age bracket are only $10. With an appointment, a color treatment is only $35. As a special thanks to our men in uniform - including those in military, fire or police departments, your rate is only $10 as well.
Kristin and Keri are excited to welcome all former "Trim" customers back to this convenient location on 782 Warwick Ave. Right across from CVS, The Auto Zone and Wendy's, with easy in and out access and ample parking, this is a great spot to get all your "to do" items checked off in one trip. With great prices and walk-in availability, you can't go wrong here at Avenue Barber Shop.
Hours here are Tuesday through Friday, 10 am to 7 pm, and Saturdays, 9 am to 3 pm. Appointments and walk-in are welcome. Cash only, please. You can call them at 467-2919 for directions or to make an appointment. Gift certificates are also available.

Jack Bailey began this series on the history of Oak Ridge High School basketball last week and brought us from a state championship in 1961 to the state tournament in 1963. In this concluding article, Jack provides us insight into the drama of the winning of a second championship in three years.
In Oak Ridge's opening test at the state tournament, they faced an outstanding Franklin, Tenn., team. Before an "almost delirious crowd of 6,000" at the Vanderbilt Fieldhouse in Nashville, Kenny Campbell nailed two free throws with five seconds left in overtime to win the game, 48-46.
Defenderfer led the team in scoring with 19 points. Defenderfer hit late field goals at the end of the first, second and third quarters to keep the game close. He also hit a short field goal at the end of regulation, but the buzzer had barely sounded so off they went into overtime. No one scored in overtime until Campbell made his two free throws with five seconds left.
Oak Ridge advanced to the state semifinals by winning over Kittrell, 53-45. Oak Ridge, with its trademark tough defense, held Kittrell to only 31 percent on their field goal attempts. Edwin Connelly had perhaps his finest game of the season with 18 points, including 12 of 13 shooting at the free-throw line, and eight rebounds.
Oak Ridge then handily defeated Memphis Overton, 44-35, to set up the championship game against Murfreesboro. Murfreesboro sported a 33-1 record and was a slight favorite in the finals.
In a magnificently played and thrilling basketball game, Oak Ridge defeated Murfreesboro in overtime, 38-36, to claim its second state championship in three years. There were 7,400 fans on hand at the Vanderbilt Fieldhouse, with an estimated 2,000 Oak Ridgers in attendance.
Many fans described it as "a perfect game." Oak Ridge only turned the ball over twice and the Murfreesboro Tigers lost the ball only three times. Only four fouls were called against Oak Ridge and just six fouls against Murfreesboro, which indicated just how good the defenses were for both teams.
However, the Tigers did not have an answer for senior guard Kenny Campbell, who had a game for the ages. He scored 29 of his team's 38 points. Murfreesboro had come back from a 33-28 deficit with less than four minutes left in regulation and managed to tie the score with only 46 seconds to play.
The score was tied at 36 all when Bud Defenderfer, "like he was jumping for his life," according to one account of the game, grabbed the opening tip of overtime. He then passed the ball to Kenny Campbell, who then weaved in and out of the Tiger defense for nearly the full three minutes of the overtime period.
With less than 10 seconds to play, he moved into position and hit a game-winning short jump shot with only three seconds left on the clock. Murfreesboro missed a last second attempt and the Oak Ridge Wildcats were state champions — again! Oak Ridge finished with a 16- game winning streak and a final record of 27-4.
"The little guy" mentioned at the beginning of this story, now stood as the "tallest 6-footer in state tournament history," according to reporter Bob Gilbert. His "exploits Saturday night rendered useless the adjective 'sensational' as he led Oak Ridge to the 1963 crown."
In that same article, Coach Ira Green said, "Campbell was on. He's the team's floor leader and he called on himself. If it had been another player, Kenny would have called on him to shoot." Asked if he ever thought the Wildcats were in trouble during the game vs. Murfreesboro, Campbell smiled and simply said, "Nope."
Coach Green said Murfreesboro was "absolutely the best team we faced all year." Perhaps the key to victory was a change Coach Green made at mid-season. He switched to a suffocating zone defense and reeled off 16 wins in a row and won the state.
In addition to the capacity crowd at the game, it was also televised on a Nashville TV station. Larry Munson, who was at Vanderbilt at the time, called the game.
He later gained fame as the voice of The Georgia Bulldogs for more than 40 years. One of his radio partners at Georgia was Bob Yongue, the play-by-play announcer for WATO radio in Oak Ridge from 1958-'63, who left soon after this game to take his new position in Athens, Ga.
The Wildcats received a tumultuous welcome back to the city when they arrived in Oak Ridge Sunday afternoon, March 17, 1963. A mile-long motorcade escorted them to the ORHS gymnasium.
According to The Oak Ridger edition of March 18, the electric moment for the 2,500 fans jammed into the gym was when Coach Ira Green prefaced his introduction of the team by saying, "…And these are not boys, they are men!"
Green went on to introduce Team Captain Bud Defenderfer, noting he had been a real leader. Defenderfer, in his remarks, said, "I have spent six years with some of these boys and three years with the others, and that time could not have been spent with a better bunch of boys."
Green then acknowledged "our exceptionally fine center, Bill Ramsey — that dandy little guard, Billy Atkisson — the biggest post man in Tennessee if measured in guts, Ed Connelly — and Kenny Campbell, who had recently picked up a new nickname of "Spider."
The Oak Ridger editorial on March 19 praised the Wildcats for their victorious season, noting that, "squeaker after squeaker," the Wildcats won. But this was no fluke state championship.
"Champs are what the Wildcats are … unexpected, unheralded, unranked … but also unbeaten. The wire services have holes in their polls."
In a conversation with Kenny Campbell, now an attorney in Nashville, he mentioned that he, Atkisson, Ramsey and Defenderfer all started first grade together and played ball together for many years, so they knew each other really well. Kenny also said a contributing factor to the '63 win was the fact that Kenny's Dad took all the starters to the 1962 State Tournament in Nashville. That experience gave them the confidence and determination that they could win in '63. Finally, Kenny said he thought they should have won three straight state championships because the 1962 team was perhaps the most talented of them all and Captain Howard Hay was such a great leader on that team.
Clifford Smith, a long-time teacher and coach at old Jefferson Junior High School, is now retired and still living in Oak Ridge. He reminisced recently about the boys who were on the 1963 team. He first met some of them when he taught an art class at Pine Valley Elementary School, which was the last period of the day.
He then worked with some of the boys on basketball fundamentals, proper warm-up drills, etc. He later coached many of them when they were in the eighth grade at Jefferson in the 1958-59 basketball season. "They were all good kids and it was a good team to coach," he said.
Smith coached 14 years at Jefferson and this team was probably his best team. They compiled a 14-1 record that season, with their only loss coming to Christenberry Junior High School by two points. Ron Widby, who is mentioned elsewhere in this article, scored 19 points to almost single handedly beat Jefferson.
Another interesting story from Clifford related to the eighth-grade team. After they had such a great season, he told them, "you are going to win a state championship someday." He attended the final game when ORHS was victorious in 1963 and saw the team after the game, and they reminded him that he had predicted they would win a state championship someday.
Seven members on the 1963 team played for Smith at Jefferson, including four starters; Defenderfer, Campbell, Ramsey and Atkisson. Reserves Bob Cantrell, Charles Tye and Larry Robinson also played on that eighth-grade team.
Smith helped lay the groundwork for the outstanding ORHS state championship teams of 1961 and 1963.
Bud Defenderfer is also still a resident of Oak Ridge and he was asked for his thoughts about Coach Green. He smiled and said "there certainly were not very many humorous moments around Coach Green.
"He was very strict and they had a very disciplined team and style of play … protect the ball, careful passing and look for a good, open shot. It was very quiet on bus rides to away games. Coach wanted us to be very focused and concentrating on the game we were about to play."
Coach Ira Green was named Coach of the Year by The Chattanooga Times. Oak Ridge won the Litkenhouse Ratings state championship in football in the fall of 1962.
The 1963 ORHS tennis team, with Kenny Campbell and basketball reserve Bob Cantrell included, captured the state tennis crown. That gave the ORHS Class of 1963 a remarkable three state championships in one school year.
ORHS won basketball, track and football state championships in the calendar year of 1961, but this was a first for any class, perhaps in the state, to claim three state titles in one school year.
It also was the end of a golden era in ORHS sports.
From 1952-1963, Oak Ridge won state championships in track in 1952-53, 1956-58 and 1961-62. They won football in 1956, 1958 (and a mythical National Championship), 1961 and 1962. They won basketball in 1961 and 1963 and capped it off with the tennis state championship in the spring of 1963. A remarkable 14 state championships in 12 years. They would not win another state crown in any sport until 1975.

Last year, it was the 9/11-themed drama "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" that provided the biggest head-scratcher. This year, the shocks and surprises in this year's 85th Academy Awards nominations were more abundant.
Here are the five biggest surprises:
1. Quvenzhané Wallis in the best actress category. Oscar pulled the same-old, same-old in the best supporting actor category and chose former Oscar veterans. But they showed some moxie by nominating the young and gifted Wallis, so incredible as a Hushpuppy in "Beasts of the Southern Wild." In fact, this was the year young actors delivered exceptional performances -- from Tom Holland in "The Impossible" -- to Wallis. At least one landed a nom. Hushpuppy, we love you!
2. Behn Zeitlin and Michael Haneke knocking out other odds-on directing faves. OK, that's cheating a bit, but both Zeitlin ("Beasts of the Southern Wild") and Haneke ("Amour") -- considered long shots in major categories -- beat out the heavily favored Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty") and Ben Affleck ("Argo"). Both were big surprises, as were the Best Picture noms the films garnered. Can't argue with either choice, though, as they were excellent films.
3 Jacki Weaver for best supporting actress in "Silver Linings Playbook." Weaver rode the coattails of other nominees in David O. Russell's charmer about two troubled souls who tango well together. As a woman dealing with the men in her life that have OCD issues, she was understated yet terrific. Nice to see this "Animal Kingdom" star back in this category.
4. Joaquin Phoenix landing a much-deserved best actor nom. Undoubtedly, his was one of the best performances of 2012, yet going into the final lap of the nomination process it looked like "The Master's" star's searing work as a disturbed World War II veteran would be ignored. Kudos, Oscar, for doing the right thing.
5. "The Waiting Room" passed up in the best documentary category. Bay Area filmmaker Peter Nicks' bustling documentary showed the bitter-pill reality of health care through the prism of the strapped emergency room at Oakland's Highland Hospital, encapsulating a major crisis. But apparently it didn't have the right prescription for Oscar.

If anticipation of the next family BBQ leaves you feeling hot under the collar, no sweat. A BBQ doesn't have to dish out the calories and fat. Here's how to make your next summer soiree a bit on the lighter side.
BBQ's invariably mean hot dogs, hamburgers, coleslaw, fresh corn on the cob, potato salad, and an array of cookies, brownies, and ice cream. Sound good? Well, with a little recipe magic you can whip up a lower fat, higher fiber BBQ that is satisfying, delicious, and healthy.
The first place to start is the grocery store. There is a big nutritional difference between a regular hot dog and a lower fat, lower salt version. Ball Park Fat Free Franks and Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Franks are two brands that have taken out the fat, lowered the sodium, and still make you feel like you're standing at home plate. By making a hot dog switch, you can spare yourself about 130 calories and 16 grams of fat per dog! Of course, you can always throw a few veggie dogs on the grill for your vegetarian niece. Tasty and cholesterol free, Yves Veggie Cuisine Fat-Free wieners are big hit with the teens.
Same advice goes for hamburgers. Buy lean ground beef or turkey, and load up on the fixings. By adding a pile of lettuce, tomato, and some grilled red onions, you add a bit fiber to help fill you up faster. You can also try a veggie burger for variety. The Morningstar line of faux meats is a sure home run.
Besides buying whole wheat buns, serving iced tea instead of sugar-laden soda, and upgrading your trans fat greasy finger potato chips to an olive oil crusted sweet potato chip, you can trim your menu by slimming down your sides. Try a French style potato salad marinated with white wine, mustard, tarragon, and olive oil, or a Greek potato salad dressed in a low fat yogurt sauce with dill and mint. Both will save you the cholesterol and saturated fat of traditional egg and mayonnaise dressing.
Coleslaw can be a colorful, low saturated fat and fiber packed addition to any meal. Keep the coleslaw honest by dressing it with rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, ginger, and a touch of sweetener. The Asian flavor will wow your guests with its authenticity.
Baked beans are good... but a chick pea salad with fresh parsley, lemon juice, and garlic is better. Baked beans can be loaded with added sugar. Keeping beans on the menu means more fiber and a low fat source of protein. A colorful black beans salad with red pepper, corn, and cilantro will perk up any party table and keep you slim in your swimsuit.
What about dessert? Fresh fruit is a staple during summer months. Topping it with homemade whipped cream can be a delightful and healthier alternative to brownie a la mode. Focusing on fruit based desserts ensures a bit of nutrition even in dessert. Watch out for pre-made pie crusts filled with trans fats. Whole Foods sells a trans free frozen pie crust that saves the time of making it from scratch.

I like it, except I still like the little swoosh from Shartley's design. I think the boxing off of the bottom looks too much like the Borg shatnerball shirts, but, thats my opinion.

I like enough to buy one. You can never please all people, so you have to shoot for the majority. My only fear is that I will look like a reptile out on the field.
Everyone that gave their input on this, thank you. It's about time that an AO jersey is going to get made.
Fred, when will these be done? I might just stop by their factory and pick mine up.

Fred, I know that the primary design, but can you put up the others too? There were a few that had ideas I liked in them. Specifically, like I mentioned, the swoosh design at the bottom. thanks!
This design is much better than anything I've seen so far. Shartley's design is also great as well.
Why do we have to settle for one design over the other. Since we're not receiving any appreciable discount, why not post 2 or 3 designs that people can choose from? When you contact CSG to order, you indicate the art work you want and you're all set. That way, if you like the CSG version or the Shartley version you get what you the buyer wants. I don't think we're ever going to get concensus for one design so why not have several 'offical' designs.
It shouldn't be about getting credit for coming up with the idea or picking the design it should be about getting AO members what they all want. A nice AO jersey we'll all wear with pride.
well, as a suggestion; If this goes to a poll (the different designs, which it should), only post them one color each. We all know we can order different colors, but, it'll keep the space down. Again...BRING BACK THE SWOOSH!
2000, I kinda disagree. I think there should be only one, BUT, I think the designs, like I said, should all be posted and voted on. Perhaps even mixing and matching designs. We have waitied a while for this; I'm sure another week or two wont hurt
Since these jerseys are gonna be custom why can't we have multiple ones? They all have the same basic design so it'll look semi uniform, but I really like the swoosh.

After looking at the 2 designs I agree with the swoosh .. it gives it less of a chest protector look ...lol
both great designs ...

I like what fred and Littmag posted. If the swish is the same as shartley's, it works for me.
Lets vote and have only one jersey. That way we will all have the same look on the field. That is what we want is the 'instant recognition' isn't it? As well as supporting AGD, we will be recognized as AOers.
I also like the idea of a personal graphic on one of the shoulders or on the front on the left or right shoulder. Maybe with your AO nick as well.

I like both designs but I think the ones Fred posted look a little better. Whatever goes along the bottom, be it swooshed or straight, won't really matter as most of us wear packs of some kind that will cover it up and bunch the fabric up anyway. If we did'nt wear packs and starched the jerseys flat as a board it might be more of an issue, in my opinion, but since we don't........
Nice job on all the designs.

I like the swish version but I'm not sure about the back. My number is 5 so it would fit but the 22 looks too big and forget it if you have a three digit number.

I don't really like the looks of it too much, something about it, not really sure what it is. Looks funky. Probably not worth $60 imho
Although i do like how the colors are faded in the "swoosh" version. Toss a gray and black one up there please
However, i'm not sure i like the stripe down the arm saying automags or whatever, I was thinking of putting on a AGD patch on one of the shoulders, or perhaps i could put it down near the waist line.....
Why don't we push for a LARGER discount. We will be ordering more than ANY other team out there. What team has 2000+ members....
Not saying everyone on AO is going to get them, but I can see at least 50 of these being sold.
Oh and Fred, can you ask him to change User Name to.

I like both designes, I am kinda favoring the swoosh one myself with the faded colors but either one is fine. I would like to make sure there is a AGD logo or something on it, much like the first one.

DARKER colours. Especially the red.
Well, I got some email from Jamie,
Since there is demand for both styles, it looks like they will be able to do both the Shartley-Swoosh and the angled lines.
I personally don't care too much for the swoosh in its current form, but perhaps it can be refined.
There is a problem pointed out to my by CSG about the fades, they won't look that great the way Shartley has made them, something to do with the sublimation process. that's how it was explained to me, don't hate me.
I personally like Shartley's sleeves better with the stretched keyhole holding the text.
and, a good point was made, that you'll be wearing packs over these, and that they look much different in 3d when there is a body in them.
This is interesting... since the actual background is the same as what CSG had, all I did was darken the colors. Only on the sleeves did I add any shadowing or altering of the basic design.Originally posted by Fred

So, if what you see in mine can't be done, neither can theirs... don't believe me? Take a good look at the latest one they came up with and then look at mine.... there is no difference but the darkening of the colors. So, if indeed they ARE going to be darker when printed, they should actually end up closer to what my "computer" images look like.
Just something to think about...

NEW YORK — This summer a despicable trend is extending its tentacles beyond the five boroughs of New York City. First, Momofuku Milk Bar, the New York pastry shop, opened a branch in Toronto. Then, Calexico, a Brooklyn-based taco joint, announced plans to expand to Philadelphia. Fans of corn cookies and Baja fish tacos might see these developments as a good thing. But Momofuku Milk Bar and Calexico are expanding the availability of more than inventive desserts and Cal-Mex. They're also colonizing new lands with a fad that's already exceeded the boundaries of good taste: selling food named after crack cocaine.
To be fair, people have been saying their favorite foods are "like crack" since long before Momofuku Milk Bar's sugary Crack Pie and Calexico's chipotle "crack" sauce made their debuts. Some of the earliest instances of the metaphor I could find in writing were on message boards in 2003 and 2004: Jokesters described breakfast burritos, barbecue sauce and green chili salsa as having properties like those of the stimulant. Gradually the obnoxious phrase made its way into Yelp reviews and recipe comments. Soon yoga instructors and skateboarders were being quoted in print publications comparing Pinkberry frozen yogurt and Krispy Kreme doughnuts to crack.
And Momofuku Milk Bar and Calexico aren't the only restaurants that have formalized the abhorrent metaphor on their menus. As New York magazine cataloged in its pages last year, "Now the mean streets of New York are rife with 'salted crack caramel' ice cream, 'pistachio crack' brittle, 'crack steak' sandwiches, and 'tuna on crack.' " After tasting all the foods in the city that proudly wore this mantle, New York deemed Ample Hills Creamery's salted crack caramel ice cream — a deep brown, obscenely rich frozen custard that sends Brooklynites queuing out the shop's door and around the block — the "crackiest crack food in town."
Saying that a food is "like crack" — or doing away with the "like" and using "crack" as an awkward adjective — is intended to be an edgy way of emphasizing how instantly gratifying it is, and how difficult it is to stop eating it once it's in front of you. Unfortunately, all it really does is demonstrate how out of touch and callously classist foodie culture has become.
Is a steak sandwich bad for your health? Absolutely. Does caramel ice cream taste so good that it induces cravings in some people? You bet. Do sweet, fatty foods like Crack Pie light up the same pleasure centers of the brain that are activated by addictive drugs? Sure — in rats, at least.
And yet food is not like crack in several significant ways. None of the foods touted on menus as being like crack is illegal. None of them produces an intense, euphoric, consciousness-altering high when you eat it. None of them induces paranoia, psychosis, erratic behavior, or seizures when you consume too much of it over the course of a few days. None of them scars your lungs, making it difficult to breathe, if you make a habit of eating them over the long term. And none of these foods is so physically addictive that it has the potential to ruin your health, finances and relationships.
Yes, I understand that comparing food to crack is supposed to be hyperbolically absurd, funny because it's exaggerated, a slightly more colorful way of saying that a food is habit-forming. (As B.R. Myers put it in his epic takedown of foodie-ism in the Atlantic a couple of years ago, "Hyperbole . . . remains the central comic weapon in the food writer's arsenal. It gets old fast.")
The problem with the joke is that crack addiction isn't funny. The rise of crack cocaine's availability — and the brutal, racist war on drugs that ensued — tore inner-city communities apart in the 1980s and 1990s. And although sales of the drug aren't what they once were, gang violence associated with crack trafficking continues to make some urban neighborhoods nightmarishly unlivable. There is no quicker way to display your ignorance of and indifference to the misery of poverty in America than to say that your favorite dessert is "like crack."
How many people who smirk when they order a piece of Crack Pie have ever met anyone who smokes crack, let alone smoked it themselves? The social and economic chasm between the kind of people who buy $10 sundaes at Ample Hills Creamery and the kind of people who buy $10 crack rocks is impossible to ignore. Why don't foodies who wish to express the intense sensual appeal of a certain food compare it to a drug that they have some firsthand experience with, like alcohol, marijuana or even powdered cocaine? Probably because it's obvious to anyone who's chugged beer, taken a hit of marijuana, or done a bump of cocaine that their effects are pleasurable in very different way from how food is pleasurable. Crack is the drug metaphor of choice among food worshipers precisely because it's alien to them. To someone who swoons over a "crack cookie," crack is an abstraction, a vague stand-in for "intense, addictive pleasure." These foodies never consider the fact that crack abuse is a devastating problem for some people, because they never have to.

A baby gorilla at the San Diego Zoo saw its family for the first time since birth.
The little gorilla was born March 12 via a rare emergency cesarean section. It then contracted pneumonia, but was well enough to take its first trip out of the veterinary hospital to meet other members of the gorilla troop, including mother Imani.
The re-introduction will take time, and it may be a bit before the baby physically goes back to its mother. Keepers held onto the baby and let troop members come see her through a protective barrier early Friday morning.
