In case you haven't noticed, cats are quite independent creatures.
Take "Lucky" Lucy for instance. I guess you could call "Lucky" The Helena World's mascot sort to speak. We adopted her. Or should we say she adopted us. She wasn't found in the usual manner such as being adopted from an animal shelter, found on the side of the road, or even given to us.
In case you haven't noticed, cats are quite independent creatures. Take "Lucky" Lucy for instance. I guess you could call "Lucky" The Helena World's mascot sort to speak. We adopted her. Or should we say she adopted us. She wasn't found in the usual manner such as being adopted from an animal shelter, found on the side of the road, or even given to us. Of all places "Lucky" found herself literally suspended between Heaven and Earth perched at the top of a utility pole in front of the office. She was named "Lucky" because a brave utility worker managed to coax her from the pole with a can of cat food. She was quite "Lucky" that she didn't fall. She has resided at 417 York Street ever since. If you visit our office you probably will find her all curled up in someone's chair or being petted by one of us. Usually, she mischievously plays with various items around the office and quickly heads for cover when she thinks she's been caught doing something wrong. Right at quitting time Monday evening, "Lucky" was nowhere to be found. We searched each office and under most of the desks. Normally, she responds when called but not on this occasion. Fear gripped us as we began to think that she might have wandered out the front door without being noticed when a customer was entering or leaving the office. Eventually, she was found playing under the tables in a closed off portion of the building. "Lucky" is not my first experience with an independent cat. Many moons ago, when I was in grade school, my family was selected for "cat adoption." Several consecutive days, we heard this loud "meowing" coming from our back porch. When we looked out we saw this beautiful orange and white cat. We surely thought it must belong to someone because it was too well groomed. After a few days, Mom couldn't take it anymore and she began putting out milk for the frequent visitor. Now, Mom was not an avid animal lover but she would not for one minute let one starve to death, so she began giving the cat scraps from the table. Soon, we were buying cat food for the new family pet. From the beginning it was obvious "Pretty Boy", as we were affectionately calling the old Tom, was at least partially used to the great indoors. Repeatedly, he would attempt to enter the house when visitors came to the door. Mom would have none of that until late one rainy night we heard a distant cry of what sounded like a baby. We looked high and low but could not tell from where the cries were coming. Dad finally spied "Pretty Boy" sitting atop a fence. The yard was soaked and the cat wouldn't climb down. Dad waded through the yard with water more than an inch deep. From then on "Pretty Boy" was a part-time house cat. He didn't want to stay inside all the time. He would leave the house in the dead of night and sometimes not return for days on end. On more than one occasion, he came home battered and bloody. You had to wonder if he survived the fight what the other poor cat must have looked like. For a short period of time, this cat ruled the roost. He had his own chair on which he slept most of the daytime. He didn't mind letting you know that was his chair and that he preferred that no one sit there even if he wasn't occupying it at the time. Cats are so different than dogs. While they certainly like attention and like to rub up against you but the leg of the kitchen table will do just as well thank you very much. Unlike dogs, they are loyal only to the person that is taking care of them at that time. "Pretty Boy" didn't live to a ripe old age – too much fighting. One day he went under our house and died. Dad had to crawl under the house to bring out his lifeless body for burial. It was like losing a member of the family. I didn't have any more experiences with cats until "Lucky" Lucy came around. A little black kitten adopted Mom and Dad after I left home. Mom named her "Spooky" because she found her on Halloween Night. There may be some truth to the old myth about bad luck and black cats. Mom had never suffered a broken bone in her entire life until one night she nearly tripped over "Spooky" in the kitchen. She swiped at the cat with her foot to get the cat out of the way to avoid falling and broke her great toe in the process. "Spooky" didn't stick around long. She vanished as mysteriously as she first appeared. It may also been a Halloween night.

It looks like new Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre might get his wish.
San Jose State named Ron Caragher head coach Monday to replace MacIntyre, who was hired last week by CU. The decision strengthens the possibility that MacIntyre will be able to bring the majority of his coaching staff with him to Boulder.
San Jose State defensive coordinator Kent Baer, who is serving as interim head coach for the Spartans' bowl game Dec. 27 against Bowling Green in the Military Bowl, was a candidate for the head coaching job. Now that the position has been filled, it seems likely Baer will be the Buffs' defensive coordinator.
MacIntyre said during his introductory press conference in Boulder that he hoped to bring most of his San Jose State staff with him, including Baer as defensive coordinator, Brian Lindgren as offensive coordinator and Jim Jeffcoat as defensive line coach.
Baer was one of 29 nominees for the Broyles Award this season. The award was established in 1996 and recognizes the top assistant coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Broyles was a finalist for the award in 2002 when he was defensive coordinator at Notre Dame.
MacIntyre won the award in 2009 when he was the defensive coordinator with Duke. MacIntyre said last week he did not expect to announce the makeup of his coaching staff until after the San Jose State bowl game unless events unfolded allowing him to assemble the staff earlier.

Chris Romer joined a fairly exclusive club last week. Along with Dale Tooley, Norm Early and Ari Zavaras, he's now one of the can't-miss front-runners for Denver mayor who fell to lesser-known opponents each of the last four times the office was truly up for grabs.

Over the last couple weeks, the Rotoworld staff has taken a division-by-division look at some players whose arrows are pointing up for 2013. Fantasy risers, if you will. The American League East, Central and West and National League East have already been covered. Now it's time to focus on the NL Central.
Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Cubs
The Cubs' brass waited as long as they could before promoting Rizzo from Triple-A Iowa this past season, but a .345/.408/.702 batting line with 23 home runs over 69 games could only be ignored for so long. Rizzo continued to mash upon arriving in Chicago, hitting .321/.367/.571 with eight homers over his first 29 contests before finally cooling off a bit in August. Rizzo's struggles against left-handed pitching (.208/.243/.356) are worrisome, but there's no doubting the 30-homer potential here even if he isn't great against southpaws.
Aroldis Chapman, SP/RP, Reds
Chapman started the 2012 campaign as the Reds' setup man in front of Sean Marshall, but he took over the ninth-inning gig in mid-May and never looked back, going on to post a 1.51 ERA while striking out an absurd 122 batters over 71 2/3 frames. Despite the fireballing left-hander's success as a closer, the Reds wisely plan to shift him into the rotation next season, assuming he holds his own in spring training. The chances of Chapman's 2011 control issues cropping up again are higher in a starting role, and he'll also be under an innings limit. But, the upside here is limitless, and he'll have plenty of fantasy value even if the Reds eventually decide to move him back to the bullpen.
Allen Craig, 1B, Cardinals
Despite boasting a career .308/.369/.518 batting line with three 22+ home run seasons in the minors, Craig was never all that highly thought of in the prospect community, mostly because he didn't have a defined position to cling to. After being used at six different spots on the diamond by the Cardinals in 2010-11, Craig settled in as the regular first baseman in 2012, and he did what he's always done throughout his professional career – hit. "The Wrench" batted .307 for the Cards while hitting 22 over the boards and driving in 92, and he likely would have reached 30 bombs and 100 RBI if injuries didn't limit him to 119 games. But while the injury bug has bitten Craig a few times, just one of the ailments was major, and it was a fluky one that occurred when his knee caught the post of a fence in Houston. As long as he stays healthy, Craig should take another step forward in 2013.
Shelby Miller, SP, Cardinals
Ranked by Baseball America before the season as the No. 8 prospect in the game, Miller's star faded a bit in the first half of 2012, as his ERA and home run total kept rising and his refusal to use his secondary pitches created frustration within the Cardinals' front office. Miller righted the ship, though, putting up a 2.88 ERA and 70/7 K/BB ratio over his final 59 1/3 innings at Triple-A before receiving a September call-up. He posted a 1.32 ERA while striking out 16 over 13 2/3 innings for the Cards, putting himself in position to possibly compete for a rotation spot next spring, depending on the health of Jaime Garcia's shoulder. Even if things don't shake out his way in spring training, Miller is poised to be part of St. Louis' starting five soon, and he has loads of potential.
Jean Segura, SS, Brewers
Segura spent much of 2012 at Double-A in the Angels' organization, but after arriving in Milwaukee in the Zack Greinke trade, he played just eight games in the minors for the Brew Crew before receiving a call-up. The 22-year-old didn't hit for power with the big club, failing to go deep in 163 plate appearances, but he hit a respectable .264 while also swiping seven bases. It was enough to convince the Brewers that he's ready for primetime, as they've slotted him in as the everyday shortstop for next season. Though he's not the most patient of hitters, Segura boasts a career .313 average in the minors and has pilfered 139 bases over 399 games. He might not help much in other areas, but he could easily steal 30+ bases next season.
Jeff Samardzija, SP, Cubs
When the Cubs announced last March that Samardzija would be part of their rotation, it was met with much skepticism. After all, the right-hander posted a 4.30 ERA and 6.3 K/9 rate in the minors when he was used mainly as a starter, and he's often had problems with his control. The Cubs' move paid off big-time, though, as Samardzija turned out to be the team's best starter, posting a 3.81 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 180/56 K/BB ratio over 174 2/3 frames. He was particularly strong down the stretch, boasting a 2.58 ERA while striking out 80 over 73 1/3 innings. The former Notre Dame wide receiver has plenty of momentum heading into next season.
Starling Marte, OF, Pirates
The Pirates suffered through nearly four months of subpar production from their corner outfield spots before deciding to give Marte a shot in late July. The 24-year-old homered on the first major league pitch he saw and provided offense in spurts for the Bucs down the stretch, ultimately settling for a .257/.300/.437 batting line with five home runs and 12 stolen bases. Marte is an impatient hitter whose K/BB ratio will probably always be ugly to look at, but he's also a guy with 20/20 upside.
Honorable Mention
Carlos Gomez, OF, Brewers
Gomez rather quietly belted 19 homers in 2012 while stealing 37 bases. A repeat isn't terribly likely, but there's definite fantasy value to be had here.
Michael Fiers, SP, Brewers
Fiers faded down the stretch as he tired and teams got used to his unorthodox delivery, but we can't ignore 135 strikeouts in 127 2/3 innings.
Marco Estrada, SP, Brewers
The overall numbers didn't match up with the peripherals, which means Estrada, who put up a sick 143/29 K/BB ratio over 138 1/3 frames, could be had at a discount.
Trevor Rosenthal, SP, Cardinals
Rosenthal lit up the radar gun as a reliever down the stretch in the regular and postseason, but his future is probably in the rotation.
James McDonald, SP, Pirates
McDonald was demoted to the bullpen after a rough stretch in the second half, but we haven't forgotten about that 2.37 first-half ERA.
Todd Frazier, INF/OF, Reds
Frazier was a jack of all trades for the Reds in 2012, but he'll settle in at third base in 2013 and has 25-homer potential.
Homer Bailey, SP, Reds
The former top prospect thrived in his first full year in the Reds' rotation, posting a 3.68 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 168 strikeouts while adding a no-hitter to his resume.

LGBT-Friendly Mosque Set to Open in Paris
A gay Muslim man is set to open Europe's first LGBT-friendly mosque in Paris at the end of the month, ABC World News reports. The creator of the mosque, which will openly accept gay and transgender worshipers, is prepared for criticism and controversy but calls the place of a worship a shelter.
"We need to have a safe space for people who do not feel comfortable and at ease in normal mosques," Ludovic Mohammed Zahed told ABC News. "There are transgender people who fear aggression, women who do not want to wear head scarf or sit in the back of the mosque. This project gives hope back to many believers in my community."
He went on to say that that mosque will be called "The Unity" and that common prayer is "one of he pillars supporting the proposed reforms of our progressive representation of Islam."
The mosque will operate out of a Buddhist temple in a neighborhood outside of Paris and will focus on "accepting everyone as equally God's creation. I hope straight men will pray together with gay men and women, everyone," Zahed said. He added that he will keep the location of the mosque secret because of security concerns.
Islamic traditions will be practiced at the new mosque, such as Friday prayers, known as Jumu'ah, with a few additions: The Muslim marriage contract, Nikah, will also bless same-sex marriages. Additionally, Janazah, or Islamic funeral rights, will be performed for those who have been denied the rights on Sharia law because they are members of the LGBT community.
"It is a safe place to worship. Our imams will talk on any taboo topic," Zahed said. He added that he will be one of the three prayer leaders along with a female French convert to Islam and other man who is currently being trained.
"Current Islamic ethics may condemn this sexual orientation but in fact nothing in Islam or the Koran forbids homosexuality," he said. "Indeed, for centuries, Muslims did not consider homosexuality to be the supreme abomination that they do today."
Zahed, an Algerian PhD student writing his thesis on Islam and homosexuality, claims that renowned Muslim poets wrote about handsome boys, and while many interpreted their works to be metaphors for loving God, some saw their works as references to gay relationships. Zahed says homosexuality only became criminalized under European colonialism.
"From the 10th to the 14th century, Muslim society used to be a far richer mix of the legal, the rational and the mystic," Zahed told ABC. "They looked at sexuality as one aspect of life's many possibilities, and they saw in it the hope for spiritual insight."
The Unity is the first mosque to welcome the LGBT community in Europe but there are said to be 21 other similar mosques in the U.S., Canada and South Africa. In most Islamic countries, however, LGBT citizens live in constant fear of attacks, both from mobs and the government.
Zahed, who is the first gay man to marry in a Muslim ceremony in France, said he was inspired by the work of Muslims for Progressive Values in North America, a group that practices prayer without any restrictions on gender. He went on to say that if the Prophet Mohamed was alive today he would approve same-sex couples getting married.
Last year, Daayiee Abdullah, 57, became one of only two openly gay imams, or Muslim leader, in the world. At the time, he maintained also that the Quran doesn't condemn homosexuality, the Daily Caller reported.
"For anyone who's an LGBTQ Muslim, I want them to understand the Quran's promise is for all of humankind for all of human time," Abdullah told the website. "Our society was very different 1,500 years ago. Human conditions remain the same, but the way we approach them now is different."
In 2007, a documentary called "A Jihad for Love" was released and examined the coexistence of Islam and homosexuality. The critically acclaimed film has a 90 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

A 14-year-old boy managed to escape the clutches of a would-be abductor on the evening of Oct. 15 and flee to his South Jeffco home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office reported that the incident occurred near Falcon Bluffs Middle School between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Monday in the 8200 block of West Toller Avenue.
The teen, who was walking home from a friend's house, said a man in a dark blue or black sedan began following him and then stopped the car and shouted "Hey!"

A man featured in a surveillance video of a burglary of the Qdoba restaurant on Nov. 24 was identified by his former employer and several other people who saw the photo in local media reports.
Joshua Gibson was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of second-degree burglary, felony criminal mischief, misdemeanor and petty theft. According to police, he forced his way into the restaurant on Clover Basin Drive early in the morning on Nov. 24, attempted and failed to get into the cash register and then stole a calculator. His former employer recognized him in publicized surveillance photos and confronted him with it, police reported. Gibson is wearing a uniform in the photo.
He replied with an expletive and said, "I am going to jail," according to police.
Cmdr. Jeff Satur said tips from the public were vital to making the arrest.

DRACUT -- A pair of local attorneys with significant name recognition in Dracut have entered the race for two seats on the Board of Selectmen, expanding the field of candidates to five.
Tami Dristiliaris and Gilbert Nason will join previously announced challenger Tony Archinski on the April 30 town election ballot, vying against incumbents Cathy Richardson and George Malliaros. Unlike Archinski, Nason and Dristiliaris are first-time candidates.
Dristiliaris, 52, said the primary reason she is running for selectman is because of a "lack of leadership" she sees on the board. She said selectmen should have been much more proactive in searching for a new town manager to replace Dennis Piendak, who for two years has been planning to retire in November.
"This board still really doesn't have a plan in place. They've hired a consultant group to tell them how to go about finding candidates for a town manager, when it is something they could be doing on their own."
If elected, Dristiliaris will speed the process of finding Piendak's replacement to allow for more of a transition period, she pledged.
"We need to have a town a manager in place well before Dennis is scheduled to leave, and right now it doesn't look like that's going to happen; it's taking too long. I believe I could move the process along and bring it to a resolution quicker."
Dristiliaris said a similar lack of foresight and leadership occurred when it came to remaking Town Hall, with selectmen acting only after the town was sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Dristiliaris has been married for 34 years to husband George, and they have four grown children and three grandchildren. In addition to her law practice, she is a registered nurse and adjunct professor of nursing at Middlesex Community College. She is also president of Dracut Library Foundation, Dracut Food Pantry volunteer, and board member of the Salvation Army in Lowell and Merrimack Valley Food Bank.
"People know who I am in town, and I know them. They know I'm a hard worker, a business person, someone whose family attends a lot of town events," said Dristiliaris. "Anybody who knows me knows that I'm a hard worker, a driven person who gets things done."
Gilbert Nason, 45, said he became motivated to launch his first candidacy for political office in December in response to the Dracut selectmen's divided vote on giving town employees New Year's Eve day -- the Monday before New Year's -- off. Cathy Richardson's decision to cast her solo opposition vote was an example of the sort of divisive partisan politics that he detests, Nason said.
"New Year's fell on a Tuesday, and they were going to have to open up Town Hall for the one day before, and one of the selectman (Richardson) said, 'Too bad,' " recalled Nason, who agreed with Selectman Joe DiRocco's motion to close Town Hall on Monday. "(Richardson) was putting partisan politics before people."
Richardson had said before the vote that awarding a free vacation day to town employees was unfair to residents who work in the private sector and are required to use personal vacation time to have New Year's Eve off, herself included.
"There's not enough bi-partisan decision-making today, I believe," said Nason.
Nason is a lifelong Dracut resident and former convenience-store owner. He is married with three children, ages 22, 13 and 10. He has been practicing law for a year, having passed the bar last February, he said.
Another reason he's running is to lead an effort to expand the town's commercial tax base, he said.
If elected, Nason pledged to be readily accessible to Dracut residents through social media.
"I want to give an easy way to get in touch with me and air their opinions so I'll have an idea of exactly what my constituents want," said Nason.
Nason said he is hoping to self-finance his campaign to minimize the number of contributors he would later feel indebted to in office.
Also, if elected, Nason said he will refuse the annual $2,000 stipend paid to board members.
"I'm not going to take it. I'll either donate it to the school district or a scholarship," said Nason. "When it comes to serving as a selectman in a small town, I don't think anybody should be taking the pay."
Selectmen voted Tuesday to reschedule Town Election from May 6 to April 30 to coincide with the special primary election to fill John Kerry's seat in the U.S. Senate. The deadline for residents to return nomination papers to run for town or school office is March 12.

The Rolla Daily News conducted a six-question survey online Thursday and Friday to get a feel for what our readers think about guns and President Barack Obama's $500 million gun control plan.
The Rolla Daily News conducted a six-question survey online Thursday and Friday to get a feel for what our readers think about guns and President Barack Obama's $500 million gun control plan.
We took the numbers from the RDN poll and compared them with the results of a nationwide Gallup poll. Here is what we found.
Not surprisingly, Rolla-area residents like their guns. They really like their guns. Of the 219 people that participated in the survey, 80 percent say there is a gun in their home. Nationwide, the Gallup poll indicated only 43 percent of American households have guns in their home.
"It is simple, the guns in a law abiding citizen's possession is actually a crime deterrent," wrote Shane Walter on the Rolla Daily News Facebook page. "The only people gun control will hurt is the lawful owners.
Criminals will always have guns and methods to achieve their goals. Controlling guns merely gives them a larger opportunity."
Of RDN survey takers, 25 percent have a concealed carry permit. Of those who do not, 43 percent are considering getting one, while only 31 percent say they have no interest.
When asked if federal gun laws should be made more strict, less strict, or kept as they are, 61 percent believe they should be kept where they are (Gallup: 34 percent); 22 percent feel they should be more strict (Gallup: 58 percent) and 17 percent believed they should be less strict (Gallup: 6 percent).
One hundred percent of people commenting on the RDN Facebook page believed — for various reasons — that gun control is not the way to decrease gun crime. In fact, many believe these crimes will go up with an increase in gun regulation.
"It will cause crime to raise," commented Doug Sarchette. "It has in every other situation that there has been gun control. The more gun control the higher the crime goes."
"Crime will continue and possibly get worse if home owners were not able to protect themselves or stop crimes in progress,' wrote Benjamin Lee Gates Jr. "They could possibly get injured or killed in process! I believe my right to own a gun protects your right to say what you will about guns!"
Only 16 percent of those responding to the RDN poll said increased gun control would make them feel more safe.
Seventy-eight percent of those responding to the RDN survey believe Obama's plan infringes on their Second Ammendment rights.
The question that divided readers the most was "Which of the following do you think is the main cause of gun violence?" The majority (28 percent) believed mental illness was to blame, followed by popular culture influences — violent movies, TV, video games, etc. (22 percent), poor parenting (20 percent). The availability of guns was last, with 11 percent of the vote. Nineteen percent of people answered "other."
Travis Queen offered his opinion on how to put an end to gun crimes, "The trick to reducing crime? Make the punishment fit the crime and arm all law-abiding citizens to the teeth, so criminals will be shaking in their boots. Simple. Effective. Straight-forward. Proven."

Coe picked up the first point of the day with an (8-3) win at No. 2 doubles, but the other two doubles matches were tightly contested. Ramesh Karki and Quinn Foley battled back and forth with Coe's Noah Sprinkel and Curtis Newman before dropping an (8-5) decision at No. 1. Matt Bellio and Sean Brown also played a close match at No. 3, falling (8-6) to Sean Stokstad and Michael Janssen.
Karki lost the opening set 6-1 to Sprinkel at No. 1 singles, but rallied to win the second set by a 6-4 count. Trailing in the third set super tie-breaker 9-6, Karki once again fought back and won the match (1-6, 6-4, 13-11). Nick Mozena and James Ayer both had close first sets at No. 2 and No. 4 while Torstein Jystad lost a third set super tie-breaker to Stokstad (0-6, 7-5, (10-8)) at No. 5.
Luther drops to 6-8 overall and 0-1 in the IIAC.

Here we are in the throws of winter and I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like temperatures will never get above freezing again.
I'm the kind of person who doesn't usually get bored. There's just so much to do and especially since the internet came along there are more things to do than ever before.
I try to stay informed as to what is going on in our country and the world so winter is a great time for that. But if one's suffers from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) watching the news may not be for you. I do suffer from SAD but I feel the need to stay informed regardless
Right now the focus is on gun control and I'd like to just share my two cents. It didn't used to be a politically charged topic and I am not addressing the issue in a political statement. I just want to say, guns are our constitutional right to have and the reason they are is so we can protect ourselves from a tyrannical government.
Growing up I never thought about that. I only thought about guns as a tool used to put meat on the table and maybe an occasional target shoot or a re-enactment of civil war or the "meets" they used to have where every one dresses in period dress (buck skin and coon skin hats) and sees who's best at shooting and loading black powder or ax throwing. Things like that.
When I took my safety course it was for deer hunting or other critters I may be lucky enough to get. So far in my life all critters that ran in front of my shot gun were safe. Now give me a pistol and it was another story but that was for fun I never hunted with a pistol although my late husband did.
Now the world has gone nuts. Since 9/11 we've had so many freedoms taken away OR just made it plan inconvenient to travel by air or cross a boarder without a huge hassle. I use to go to and from Canada without a wrinkle. Now I need a passport. OK, I can understand all of that. When we're flying we are at the mercy of that conveyance. And every country should have the right to have some control of who comes into their country.
But now, taking away our ability to protect ourselves is just plain wrong. When we have more reason to protect ourselves than ever before. OH I know they haven't taken them away YET but if our doctors are going to be questioning us about how many or what kind of guns we have after having to register them all in the first place, can taking (or trying to take) them totally away be far behind?
When will the government learn that you can not legislate morality or common sense, and when will they realize that only criminals break the laws whether it be with a registered or non registered gun or a bomb made out of house hold products or a box cutter or what have you. By taking away or limiting a citizen in the ability to protect themselves will only accomplish one of two things. And neither of them will be good, preventing us from protecting ourselves or making us a criminal.
It's the person behind the weapon, no matter if it's a knife, bomb, gun, poison or a ball bat. Taking them away will not keep someone with ill intent and with no regard for the law from doing what ever they wish to do to someone and when that someone is defenseless how much easier will it be to do what they want.
I would like to see the law makers make a crime involving a gun be a life sentence or something severe enough that even if they only committed an armed robbery and didn't hurt any one they'd still get the big message, guns will put you away for life or a long time. That way the citizen can still protect themselves. It may be a deterrent, in some cases I believe it would. But it may make some stop and think….if that's being done much these days.
Just my two cents on the matter…maybe this one is worth 3…or…1 depending on your point of view.
I just pray that wiser minds would prevail.

Celtic Autoharp Book/CD Set. (35 Celtic tunes arranged for all standard Autoharps using notation and tablature). By Karen Mueller. For Autoharp/Chromaharp. Solos. Celtic/Irish. Multiple Levels. Book/CD Set. 56 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.95529BCD). ISBN 9780786608539. Celtic/Irish. 8.5x11 inches. This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. The majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. The book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.

Before determining all your new Pennsylvania tax responsibilities, you must consider both where you live and where you work.
For more detailed information on taxation, go to www.poconorecord.com, go to "Special reports" and click on "Taxing Questions."
Pennsylvania has a statewide sales tax of six percent, though many food and clothing purchases are exempt from taxation. It can get a bit tricky, however, since some food items are tax-free in a grocery store, yet are taxable if bought from a convenience store.
Pennsylvania has a $1-per-pack tax on cigarettes and a gas tax of 26.6 cents per gallon.
Pennsylvania has a "flat" income tax of 3.07 percent on personal earnings. It's called a flat tax because, unlike most other states, Pennsylvania taxes the same percentage of income for all residents. There are no brackets obligating those who earn more per year to pay a higher percentage of income tax than those who earn less - the rate is 3.07 percent for everyone.
Pennsylvania also doesn't allow any income tax deductions. You can't reduce your taxable income by deducting what you spent on child care or paying the mortgage, like you might on a federal or many other state income tax returns.
Pennsylvania allows local municipalities and school districts to collect and split a 1 percent earned income tax, in addition to the state income tax.
East Stroudsburg, Stroudsburg, Pocono Mountain and Pleasant Valley school districts - and the municipalities within their borders - jointly assess the 1 percent earned income tax and split the proceeds. You owe the 1 percent earned income tax unless you fall into a special category of exempt commuters.
If you happen to live in Stroud Township, your local earned income tax bill is 1.25 percent, with the additional quarter-of-one-percent going to a township fund for open space preservation.
In some cases. Most residents who commute to work in New York State or Delaware and pay income taxes there, are exempt from paying state and local income taxes in Pennsylvania. Those are the only two border states that don't have reciprocal tax-sharing agreements with Pennsylvania. So local commuters employed in those states are allowed to deduct income taxes paid there from income tax owed in Pennsylvania.
But it doesn't necessarily mean you will owe nothing in Pennsylvania state and local income tax. Since New York, for instance, taxes a lower percentage of earnings for those who have less income, a low-income New York worker may actually have less tax taken out there than would otherwise be owed in Pennsylvania. If so, Pennsylvania requires you to pay them the difference between what was paid in New York and what would be owed in the Keystone State.
Those commuters also owe state and local income tax on income not taxable in New York or Delaware but taxable in Pennsylvania. For instance, salary or wages diverted into a retirement plan in New York is tax-deferred there but is still taxable in Pennsylvania. So those residents are required to pay Pennsylvania state and local income tax on that portion of their earnings.
Yet another category of commuters is exempt from paying the local earned income tax - those who live here but work in the city of Philadelphia. State law enables you to deduct the 3.91 percent city wage tax there from the local earned income tax you would otherwise owe here. Sorry, but you Philadelphia workers are still obligated to pay the full Pennsylvania income tax.
Income tax responsibilities are a bit less complicated for most other commuters. If you commute to work in a state that does have a reciprocal tax-sharing agreement with Pennsylvania - New Jersey, for instance - then arrangements are made by New Jersey tax officials to collect the state income tax from your employer, through payroll deduction, and send it to Pennsylvania revenue officials.
That courtesy doesn't extend to the local 1 percent tax. If you commute outside the county, then it is your legal responsibility to pay the local earned income tax through whatever private or public tax collector handles it in your community. Many call the local earned income tax "the Berkheimer tax", after the private agency that collects it in many Monroe County communities. But different locales hire different collectors.
Keep in mind that even if you commute to The Big Apple or another location where you don't owe the 1 percent local earned income tax, you're still required to fill out the local EIT paperwork annually.
This annual local tax is applied to most county workers at the municipality in which the person works, with the local rate varying from $10 to $52 per year. The tax is typically deducted from one paycheck per year.
In most cases, a worker employed in two municipalities that assess the emergency services tax - someone holding multiple jobs in dual locations - isn't required to pay more than $52 per year. First priority is given to the political subdivision where the person is principally employed.
The vast majority of tax proceeds go to the municipality where you work, with the local school district getting $5 of the total. Municipalities must use the EMS tax either to reduce property taxes or to fund law enforcement, fire protection, ambulance or other emergency service.
In 2005, at least five Monroe County municipalities had an EMS tax: Stroudsburg's rate was $40, Paradise Township imposed a $30 tax, and East Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono and Delaware Water Gap set it at the maximum $52. Some municipalities exempt part-time workers whose annual earnings are less than a specified amount.
To find the current rates, check with your local employer or the municipal government in the community in which you work. Anyone who is asked to make more than $52 in annual payments of this tax should contact Berkheimer Tax Administrator - the tax collection agency used by most local municipalities - or the Pennsylvania Revenue Department for help in straightening it out.
If you're a homeowner or own other property in Monroe County, you must pay school district, county and municipal property taxes based on the assigned value - or assessment - of the property. Some localities also have a property tax to support the local library.
The county has an assessment office whose job is to evaluate the size and condition of the property, and of amenities of structures to arrive at common comparative values. It is those values that are the basis for property taxes.
Monroe County last completed a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of all county properties in 1988 to arrive at common comparison values. All new structures built since then, or more recent improvements of older properties, are given assessments based on the 1988 values, in an effort to have a uniform comparison.
Once the property is valued, Monroe applies its pre-established ratio of 25 percent of value to set the final assessment. A home valued at $100,000, for instance, is assessed at $25,000. And that $25,000 is the basis for assessing property taxes - the millage.
If a school district's tax rate is 95 mills, then that $100,000 home, assessed at $25,000, will produce a school tax bill of $95 per $1,000 of assessment, or $2,375 total.
School and municipal tax bills go out to property owners at different times of the year.
Property owners may challenge an assessment they believe is unfairly high compared to other properties, by appealing to a three-member county assessment board by Sept. 1 of each year. It is suggested that owners first examine their property record filings at the county assessor's office in Stroudsburg, and check the values assigned to each amenity and the sizes involved. It may turn out that you have a deck, garage or other structure that isn't included in the assessment, and your challenge is likely to bring a county inspection that could result in you actually paying more in taxes.
Remember, the assessment is the property value that serves as the basis for taxation - but it isn't in itself a tax. A high tax bill may be the result of an excessively high assessment, or it may merely mean the county, municipal and/or school tax rates (the millage, which can't be appealed) are producing the high bills.

Difference between revisions of "Minorca"
Revision as of 19:41, 29 December 2012
Minorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands, located to the northeast of Mallorca and is the least overrun and most tranquil of the Balearics. Due to its unspoilt beauty, it allows the more adventerous the opportunity to discover new charms and experiences. Despite its smaller size among other Spanish islands, the number of beaches that Menorca has equals the number of beaches that can be found in Mallorca and Ibiza combined. The possibility of having a beautiful beach largely to yourself in the summer, combined with alfresco dining and peaceful holiday resorts, makes Minorca a highly desirable place to visit.
The harbour at Maó, the island capital, is the second largest natural deep water port in the world - the largest being Pearl Harbour. The whole island is a European Biological Reserve and Unesco Biosphere Reserve aiming to preserve environmental areas. More than a 75% of the territory is protected. You can watch some of the last turtles of the Mediterranean, birds and protected species.
An identifying sign of Minorca is its fascination with horses. All things centre around horses and the people love them. Minorca has its own race of black horses. In all the festivities the horses and their "caixers" (riders) are the centrepieces. The "Cami de Cavalls" is a pathway surrounding the island for horse riding and it was used in the past for defence of the coast by horse.
Minorca is a relatively quiet island which means that more wholesome, family fun holidays are geared towards this island. If you prefer a more vibrant night scene, head to nearby Ibiza or Mallorca for a bustling city atmosphere.
If you do take time to explore the interior you will discover a wealth of of interesting and historic landmarks from El Torro the highest point on the Island to the most significant prehistoric sites at Trepucó and Torre d'en Galmés.
To this day no one is certain of the significance of these prehistoric monuments in the form of Taulas, T shaped stone formations thought to be spiritual sanctuaries; Talayots which are stone towers that local people believe were once used as look-out points. There is little evidence to support these theories about Menorca's prehistoric past nor the original function of these breathtaking creations . Taulas are named after the Menorquín word for table. (Menorquín is the local dialect of Catalan which is widely spoken on the Island. Menorca is by far the richest place in Europe for sites of prehistoric settlements, mostly dating from the Talaiotic Period, which was the period of civilisation between 2000 and 1000 BC. The term Talayot is believed to originate from the Arabic atalaya meaning "watch tower".
Another feature of prehistoric Menorca, and one of its most famous monuments, is the communal burial structure known as a Naveta. The best example of such a structure is close to the former capital Ciutadella. Just to the east of the town is the Naveta d'es Tudons which dates from around 1300 BC it is believed to be the oldest roofed building in Europe. It gets its name from its shape which is like an unturned boathape of an upturned boat. You enter via a small low entrance which gives access to a roomy interior which measures 46 feet in length, 21 feet in width and up to 13 feet in height. When it was first excavated in the 1950's there were the remains of some fifty bodies confirming that it was used as a burial chamber.
Since prehistoric times the Island has been controlled by the Romans, Moors, Catalans, Spanish, French and English. All these nations have left their mark on the Island and monuments to visit from Sanisera, the archaeological site close the port of Sanitja on the north coast of the island to the ruins of the Fifth Century Bascilica on the beach at Son Bou.
So here we are back at the beach where we first started. Hardly surprising when you consider that you can drive from east to west in an hour and north to south in about 45 minutes.
During the 18th Century, Minorca was a bone of contention among the British, French and Spanish powers. This was due to the Port of Maó, the finest natural harbour in the Mediterranean, and one of the best in the world, which could protect the largest fleets of the time in their entirety. The Utrecht Treaty, signed in 1713, gave place to the first British presence on Minorca, which lasted until 1755. The first British Governor was John Campbell (Argyll) nominated by the Queen Anne. Richard Kane ,from County Antrim in Ireland, the second British Governor, is still fondly remembered for his effective support of agriculture on the island; he introduced the cultivation of the apple, promoted cattle breeding and built roads and reservoirs which are still in use today. The Scottish Col.Patrick Mackellar (Argyll) was the chief engineer of Minorca and responsible for the main constructions of the british legacy. The main contribution of Mackellar was the design and construction of Georgestown (Es Castell) near to Sant Felip fortress at the entry of Mahon harbour.
There were two later periods of British presence on Minorca, from 1763 till 1781 and 1798 to 1808. The British left more than their earthworks and ramparts behind. Things as varied as the growth of Maó, which enthusiastically accepted the opportunities for trade and the abolition of the Inquisition,, the traditional woodworking and boat building techniques and designs and Minorca's most popular drink, gin.
The Golden Farm, a summer house near Maó, is one of the symbols of British presence on Minorca, perhaps as much as the bow and sash windows still to be found in the capital's old part quarter.
Son Granot is a Georgian style house built during the British presence on Minorca and is where Mackellar lived. This building is the second symbol of British presence and is considered a monument. Now the house is totally restored keeping the original concepts of XVIII century and it is a pretty land hotel and restaurant at the entry of Mahon harbour. It is the first house(red and white) you can see arriving by ship.
The locals speak a form of the Catalan language called Menorquí. It is a language not easily understood by Spanish speakers. However all the inhabitants also speak Spanish. Additionally most speak English to a reasonable standard, especially in the tourist areas.
Get in
Regular flights are available directly to Mahon from mainland Spain and the sister islands of Ibiza and Mallorca. Regular scheduled services are available with Monarch from Birmingham, Manchester, London Luton and London Gatwick. Easyjet and British Airways also operate flights from some major and regional UK airports.
Minorca's airport is served by buses to Mao (Euro$1.50, 15 min) every half hour from around 6AM to 10PM and then hourly to midnight. The bus stops at the bus station, the Estacio Maritima and a couple of other intermediate points.
Regular ferries from both mainland Spain and Majorca are also available. Modest-sized cruise ships occasionally visit. They primarily use the deep harbor of Mahon, which offers highly scenic views of homes, hotels/resorts and historic structures and fortifications.
Get around
Taxis are the most popular form of transport and there are many car rental companies to choose from.
There are numerous agents and companies specialising in car hire in Minorca - both at the airport and in resorts - although it may be prudent to organise it from home before you arrive to avoid disappointment during peak periods.
Most of the Western beach towns are served by buses leaving from the main Plaza in Ciutadella. Other buses leave from Ferreries, Alaior and the largest bus stop on the island is that one in Mao, it serves Sant Lluis and then all of the beach towns in the East. Son Bou is reached from Alaior. The main bus route which serves Mao, Alaior, Es Mercadal, Ferreries and Ciutadella runs along the centre of the island.
Most buses leave hourly and are very inexpensive, at around €4 to €5 to travel between Ciutadella and Mao.
Minorca has its share of beautiful coastline that deserves recognition. Minorca beaches[12] are generally not crowded, so finding a nice relaxing spot of your own is not hard to achieve. The closest decent beaches to the capital are Es Grau to the north and Platja de Punta Prima to the south. Both are connected to Mao by local bus. There are around eight buses a day to Punta Prima. Other beaches of note are:
Numerous operators offer glass-bottomed cruises around the harbor next to the ferry terminal. Rutas Maritimas de la Cruz is the most fun and very recommendable.
Minorca is packed with good restaurants whose menus especially feature fish and seafood. Minorca also has a great variety of bars and cafes, some open for 24 hours a day.
Minorcan Gin
On Minorca there were a great many junipers, (there still are), and in the harbour lay the British fleet. The twain met and Ginet was the result, a spirit far removed from the Spanish and Mediterranean traditions and with notable difference from the English Gin.
It is a kind of cross between London Gin and the Mediterranean spirit, invented in Minorca. It was very successful and was drunk throughout the British Fleet and it surprised more than one distinguished visitor to declare "the best of the sprits found in Europe today" was historian Vargas Ponce's opinion on visiting Minorca in 1781.
The major difference between London Gin and Minorcan Ginet, is that Minorcan ginet is based on a spirit distilled from the grape, as is usual in the Mediterranean, and not on a cereal based spirit. The juniper now comes from the mainland, but the distilling continues to be done in old copper stills. The spirit rests in oak barrels cured in gin so that the end product does not take the colour of the wood.
Gin is found all over Minorca, drunk neat or in a mix. One such mix, named Pomada, is created by adding bitter lemon. It's the drink of choice during the many fiestas which take place throughout the summer on the island.
Bars Nightlife in Minorca is low key compared to nearby Mallorca or Ibiza. For a drink with a waterside view, head to the waterfront which is where the majority of bars are situated.

"Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin" lead stars Gerald Anderson and Maricel Soriano had problems on the set during the taping of the said teleserye last week. On their scene together, it was alleged that Gerald had a hard time getting the right acting required of him by the director. As a consequence, said scene had to be re-shoot over and over again, something that pissed off Maricel. The multi-awarded actress, couldn't help herself and blew her top. She allegedly shouted at her co-star, blaming Gerald for the delays. She was so emotional that she walked out of the set soon after. Gerald tried to pacify her and made amends but the actress was inconsolable. She left, making Gerald feel so dejected and disheartened. There are talks that the actor now refuses to do the project with her.
As of this writing, there is no final word yet from ABS-CBN as to the fate of one of their newest and most- awaited teleseryes this January.
Both Gerald and Maricel are contract stars of ABS-CBN, with Gerald under Star Magic and Maricel with Viva management.

Check out the Spring 2013 issue of Housing & Home Environment News
Posted by Jim Gunshinan on June 27, 2013
Got this in my email and thought I'd share. Very good article by Joe Laquatra on the current serious lead hazards that may shock you into action and other great stuff—including from Home Energy's Alan Meier, from the folks at Cornell University:
Click here for a PDF file that contains the Spring 2013 issue of Housing & Home Environment News (HHE-News), the Extension Newsletter for the Department of Design & Environmental Analysis (DEA) at the College of Human Ecology, Cornell University. We are lucky to have articles from 3 guest authors for this issue, so there are a total of 5 articles:
Joe Laquatra, Professor at DEA, has a very informative article about lead in household products. This is a must read for anyone working with parents of small children.
We have an article provided by the National Fenestration Rating Council on how that organizations informational label helps consumers determine which windows will be most energy efficient when they are purchasing new or replacement windows.
Saikat Paul, a visiting Fulbright Scholar from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kharagpu, India, has provided an article about the need to strengthen our efforts in making our buildings and communities more energy efficient and sustainable as a method toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Alan Meier, the Senior Executive Editor with the national print publication, Home Energy has allowed us to re-print an article he has authored that reveals data showing energy consumption for heating and cooling U.S. Home no longer accounts for the majority of energy consumed by U.S. homes. Meier notes that this is a victory and a challenge, the challenge being to re-double our efforts in reducing electricity consumption by home appliances and plug loads.
And DEA Extension Associate Mark Pierce has an article about how to calculate the energy intensity of your own home.
As always, Extension/Community Educators are encouraged to re-publish any of these articles in Extension Association News Letters or make them available to local print media outlets (please give full credit to article authors when doing that). If you want copies of any of these article in MS Word format, contact Mark Pierce (email@example.com).
We hope you find this issue of HHE News informative and interesting.

Robert Griffin III & Others Attend Jay Z's NFL Draft Party (Photos)
For a lot of these young men, getting drafted will be the highlight of their careers.
While some will go on to stardom, others will be busts or just marginal NFL players, so they better get it in while they can (while saving their money). The day you are drafted everyone loves you, but when training camp starts you have to prove you were worth all the trouble.
Robert Griffin III was the number two overall draft pick of the Washington Redskins during Thursday night's NFL Draft … which nets him a big contract and HUGE perks … like VIP treatment from Jay-Z during his NFL Draft party at the 40/40 Club.
RG III, Trent Richardson and Quinton Coples were just of the picks in attendance. The guests dined on signature dishes from executive chug Mike Shand — including wings, chicken fingers, BBQ pulled turkey sliders and classic beef slides.

Sole, Dover – Atlantic Ocean
Dover Sole are a fast growing species of bottom fish, reaching a size of 70 cm and living up to 40 years. They are found from the North Sea south to northwest Africa and into the Mediterranean Sea. Dover Sole have a medium abundance overall, though population size varies between regions.
They are caught by a variety of fishing gears including bottom trawls and gillnets. Although bottom trawling is generally damaging to the seafloor, most Dover Sole, particularly around the UK, are caught in mud and sand habitats, which are relatively resilient to any damage. Bycatch from Dover Sole fisheries typically involves other fish that live on or near the seafloor like cod, gurnards and flounders.

Special from the Levy
County Sheriff's Office
As another summer comes to an end, our children prepare for their next adventure in their Levy County School. On Monday they will begin this timeless ritual, their first day back. Children will face new challenges, making new friends, new teachers and for some, a new school.
Among this change comes danger. Children are at increased risk of injury from motor vehicle crashes, bicycle-related mishaps and pedestrian accidents.
Traffic patterns change as parents, bus drivers and the children themselves, rush to school. Increased congestion around the schools' entrances and exits become the focal points for law enforcement and citizens alike who try to navigate in and out of the school zones, all the while trying to hurry. It is time for everyone—motorist, parents, educators and students—to improve their traffic safety practices.
The Levy County School Board bus division is completing all the last minute safety inspections on the buses. Law enforcement will be watching as buses make the scheduled stops and pick up children.
Motorists are reminded of the traffic laws and dangers associated with this. School buses make multiple stops each morning, most of which are not part of everyday driving.
Most child-related injuries with school buses occur during the time they enter or exit the bus. The danger zone children extends 10 feet from all sides of the bus. Motorists need to be aware of this and be especially mindful of the warning lights on the buses.
"Operation Safe Start" was started three years ago. For the first three days of school, each school will have a uniformed deputy assigned to greet the children and assist the staff.
Resource Officers, Volunteer Citizens on Patrol (COPS) and uniformed patrol deputies will be monitoring the school zones and bus stops in marked and unmarked vehicles looking for traffic violations.
All parents, educators and students are urged to travel safe and be alert to the dangers.
