It's so warm and dry right now in the Central Sierra, some bears that normally hibernate in the coldest depths of winter are active, out and about, and looking for food.
A cinnamon-colored mother bear and her cubs have been spotted and photographed in the Tuolumne River watershed, near the Hetch Hetchy entrance station to Yosemite National Park, and a smaller, light-brown bear has been seen in the Merced River watershed around Yosemite Valley.
Bears are awake and active in early February, snowpack is melting, people are sunbathing and thinking about swimsuits, and the current heat wave that started more than a week ago is supposed to carry on past Valentines Day next week.
"As far as we can tell, the next week and half looks dry, and probably longer as well," Tom Dang, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento, said Tuesday. "The last rain in Sonora was Jan. 25. This streak of 60s or greater started Jan. 28."
One local record for the daytime high temperature was tied Sunday when it was 69 degrees in Groveland, equaling a mark set in 2009, Dang said. The two hottest early Februarys on record in Sonora since 1902 were in 1962 and 1965, when it was at least 5 degrees warmer each day than it's been so far this February.
It's not unusual to have warm, dry spells in winter in the Central Sierra, Dang said. Even in extreme wet winters like last year, there were brief breaks from storms and cold. But the current heat wave is the second one so far this winter, counting one in December, which was drier than normal.
Water supply
Many of the Golden State's major reservoirs, including New Melones and Don Pedro, are more than 80 percent full due in part to the near-record wet winter a year ago. But snowpack for the Central Sierra this week showed snow water equivalents of just 5.8 inches, 30 percent of average for the date Feb. 5.
Tom Haglund, general manager for Tuolumne Utilities District, says there's still a lot of winter left for more storms and colder weather. But if warm, dry trends continue, conservation measures may be in store for 44,000 people who get their water from TUD.
Current snowpack in the South Fork Stanislaus watershed that includes Pinecrest Reservoir is similar to what it was in early February 2014 and 2015, Haglund said. Thanks in part to last winter, reservoir levels are quite a bit higher this year compared to the same date in 2014 and 2015.
"For the time being, this storage is providing us some buffer as we monitor the weather," Haglund said. "It is important to note that even as dry as conditions were in 2014 and 2015, Lyons and Pinecrest reservoirs did eventually fill and spill."
Feb. 1 storage at Pinecrest was 3,000 acre-feet in 2014, 6,200 acre-feet in 2015, and it was 10,500 acre-feet a few days ago. Hopefully that means Pinecrest will fill and spill this spring, in spite of the current heat wave.
"We are still short of snow for this year however, we do have a few months left where we normally do receive precipitation and snow," Haglund said. "If we get anywhere near normal amounts in March, April and May, then Pinecrest is likely to fill and spill this year as well."
If forecasts and conditions continue to remain dry through about March 1, Haglund said, people at TUD may begin to alert customers of water supply conditions and possible water conservation measures.
Bears awake
Yosemite National Park staff put photos of active bears on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook over the past weekend.
"Be aware: Some bears are still active at lower elevations in the park!" park staff posted.
Black bears don't always den in the winter, park staff said in their post. If food is available year-round, many bears decide to skip their winter naps. Pregnant sows always den because they give birth during hibernation to protect newborn cubs during their first few weeks of life.
Asked Tuesday for perspective on how the early February heat wave is affecting bears and other animals, John Buckley with the Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center called from Yosemite Valley.
"Here in Yosemite today, it's T-shirt weather, people are in shorts," Buckley said. "In the sun it's incredibly warm. Over in the shady side of the valley it's cooler, some people are in down coats. It feels like about 70 over here."
On Monday this week, CSERC staff set up wildlife cameras in several locations in the Stanislaus National Forest to try to keep track of Pacific fishers, ringtail cats, American martens and other special status species.
They are fur-bearing animals with very thick coats that tend to hang out where it's coolest in the Central Sierra, Buckley said. They choose to minimize their exposure to heat, and none of them hibernate.
"This exceptional weather is affecting wildlife," Buckley said. "When it's warm weather, the bears don't stay hibernating. They're moving around."
'Heat wave in winter'
People will see bears in Yosemite and other places, Buckley said. They'll come out because they're hungry. In some Stanislaus National Forest communities, and even down into the foothills near New Melones, bears will be out at lower elevations.
"This is truly like a heat wave in winter," Buckley added.
For bears at elevations of 7,500 feet, 8,000 feet and higher, the current warm, dry spell is less intense and it's more likely they are still hibernating.
The challenge for active bears right now is finding enough to eat when food is limited. One of the reasons they hibernate in winter is because food supply is typically scarce.
"It can be stressful for them this time of year because they're struggling to find fresh, green growth and acorns from last fall," Buckley said. "The limited food means it's an added stress for species that have to go through a long time without eating. Now they're out and about and they've got to find food because they're moving around and burning more calories."
It's so warm and dry right now, and so much snow is melting, some people are talking about whether Tioga Pass will open early.
"Back in the drought we had access to Tioga Pass in late January," Buckley said. "It could happen again. It's so exceptionally warm right now, and there's very little snowpack at the moment and that could melt off fast."
A National Park Service list of Tioga Pass closing and opening dates going back to 1980 shows the latest closing date was Jan. 17, 2012. The earliest opening date for Tioga Pass since 1980 was April 29, 1988. Warren Alford with Caltrans District 10 in Stockton says the earliest opening for Sonora Pass was April 8, 1977. The earliest opening date for Ebbetts Pass was March 28, 2003.

NYCC '10 | Godzilla returns to comics at IDW
Today at the New York Comic Con, IDW announced that everyone's favorite Japanese city-stomping giant monster, Godzilla, will return to comics in February 2011. Although they didn't announce the creative team, they did show off one of the book's covers by Goon creator Eric Powell (right).
And he'll be joined by some of his friends from the movies, including Mothra and Rodan. "We wanted Godzilla to return to comics, but this time we wanted him to have some company," Chris Ryall, editor-in chief for IDW Publishing, told MTV's Splash Page. "I think fans will be pleased with the monster guest appearances, which will really offer something for every fan of these films. There are the classic characters, but there are also a few surprises, too."
Of course this isn't Godzilla's first foray into comics; he's appeared in Japanese manga, as well as series from Marvel and Dark Horse in the past. I guess we won't see him fight the Avengers this time around, will we?

Masterchef Australia – Gary Mehigan Says Take It Back To One Day A Week – No Need To Hit The Panic Button Just Yet
It appears that there has been some talk on the Masterchef Australia set about this series current ratings with even the judges giving their opinion on what to do.
Gary Mehigan has suggested taking it back to one night a week.
He told the Daily Telegraph:
MASTERCHEF judge Gary Mehigan says Channel 10 will need to consider scaling back the hit reality show to once or twice a week if it wants the brand to survive.
The chef added that Ten may want to consider scaling the show back gradually to just one episode a week to keep the format fresh.
"The problem we have at the moment is that for three months of the year we've got a whole lot of brilliant TV and then the rest of the time we've got repeats and American crime shows," he said.
"I think if MasterChef is to have a future, you have to be able to do something so that viewers get excited about it coming back – maybe first taking it to four days a week. Then maybe eventually it will be on one day a week."
Mehigan said he and fellow judges George Calombaris and Matt Preston had been reminding each other about their pact "not to become dickheads" on set.

Totally agree RR! With –
1. Head to head immunity pin contest: chef v amateur, cooking dishes they haven't done before. PERFECT.
2. Masterchef Professional: Top Chef is my favourite of favourite reality shows. I think this would have huge potential in AUS. Maybe even as next year's season of Masterchef instead of amateurs. Would shake things up but keep loyal viewers happy too!
I don't think it should be cut down to once a week… half the fun of Masterchef is that it does consume your life for three months, against your will.
- 2 Daze { 06.11.12 at 4:08 pm }
I for one, would lose some interest if MC was shown only once a week. Agreed, every night is sometimes a bit laborious eps. trying to catch up if out, etc. Agree RR, the editing does seem better and tighter – not so pointed as to who will win or lose the following night. Shame George has been anchored in, have enjoyed his natural enthusiasm and antics (Season 1 eg).
Wonder why they proclaim themselves to be dickheads, they have years of experience in the culinary industry and need to wear that proudly!
- 3 Sue { 06.11.12 at 4:09 pm }
I love the idea of the professional chefs going head to head!
Big fat NO to only once per week though, I like how often it is on! It keeps us going, keeps us involved.
I'm really liking this season.
- 4 Dunbi { 06.11.12 at 4:26 pm }
Agree – no to once a week – just wouldn't hold the same amount of interest. Yes, I would very much like to see the guest judges having a say in the elimination cook offs. I wonder who Rick Stein would have put last, I felt he was the most disappointed with Kylie's team.
- 5 Maryann { 06.11.12 at 4:51 pm }
Once a week won't work, it would go on far too long. I think they should can the immunity challenge. I think it can ever be really fair and is unnecessary. I also think the time slot is wrong. I for one hate the 7 pm start I would prefer 7.30.
- 6 littlepetal { 06.11.12 at 5:13 pm }
Maybe should be 3 episodes per week. Would also prefer it to be 7.30pm instead of 7m.
I thought George still bounces up and down and there is too much bad acting from the judges. Should have some new judges. Get rid of these 3.
- 7 PollyB { 06.11.12 at 6:15 pm }
Get real, get viewers. Currently 6 nights for 3 months(?), thats 13 weeks, thats 78 weeks at 1 night a week!!!!! Less recaps, no showing the house, no showing george serving the food, no ammunity challenge. Maybe we are down to 52 eps, 4 eps for 13 weeks.
- 8 brain dead dave { 06.11.12 at 6:25 pm }
At that rate it's gonna take a year and a half to decide the new Ma$terchef. Three footy seasons. Gary's got the brain of an escargot.
How about chopping down Jowl$y's mindless tension building pauses when there's about to be a cull?
- 9 Georgie { 06.11.12 at 7:23 pm }
There'd be more than one broken relationship if they string it out for any longer than 3 months.
Ditch the dross – clean and lean. Start with 12 instead of 24, three nights a week at 7.30pm. Too many interruptions for people any earlier than that.
To expect to win ratings five or six nights a week when there's so much RTV is simply unrealistic.
- 10 Moonstruck { 06.11.12 at 9:06 pm }
Agree that once a week is a really bad a idea. All they have to do is get rid of the immunity on Tuesday. Friday is the least watched of masterchef and as it has no impact on the competion it could easily go.
And they should back to 20 and not show the top 50. They only started the top 50 to milk the masterchef Gravy train. MC has. Even going for over a month and there are still 18 contestants!!!!!!!
MKR increased the number of nights it was being shown and it did it no harm.
Maybe Gary is trying to get some talkback chatter happening??????
- 11 littlepetal { 06.11.12 at 9:50 pm }
If MC want to have more publicity, they will start to leak out some juicy goss.
- 12 Moonstruck { 06.11.12 at 10:13 pm }
Maybe that will be ten's next move Littlepetal.
Not all the chefs are on the same page about the show though. See Matt moran's views
Really strange comments by Gary given they have just announced another Masterchef for this year.
- 13 Maz { 06.11.12 at 11:01 pm }
Agree. They need to move it back to 7.30. Who gets home in time for 7.00??
Don't mind Masterclass but they need to have some recipes where the ingredients are readily available.
There were higher expectations going into S4, We expect the contestants to have the MC basics mastered. Not "I have never baked a cake before.'
- 14 Moonstruck { 06.11.12 at 11:11 pm }
You're right maz especially about "I haven't cooked a cake before."
And although they may be good in type of cooking ie Mexican, they need to know the basics of other cuisines.
- 15 EH { 06.11.12 at 11:42 pm }
Littlepetal – Ben & Kylie? Mindy & the bi-chick (still not sure who she is?), may be another similar smartphone gate ala Matt later on? But yes, agreed with you that there isn't enough juicy goss this year
- 17 Lesley { 06.12.12 at 8:01 am }
7.30 pm start, 3 nights per week, smaller amount of contestants and lets have contestants that have an all-round cooking experience eg "I haven't cooked a cake" etc.
Gary Meighan and Matt Moran to go surplus to requirements
- 18 Andy Pandy { 06.12.12 at 8:39 am }
Just get rid of the immunity and the boring Friday night masterclass, that will save lots of time. Get all contestants to cook the the same dish , judges not to watch them being cooked, and then do a blind taste test every time.This will stop the judges having a favourite as has been obvious this time. Also give more airtime to the invisible contestants such as Wade and Mario.
- 19 lilli { 06.12.12 at 9:12 am }
Please don't switch to one day per week. We have that in New Zealand as well as a Top 12 and the lack of competition and practice shows – the amount the contestants in Australia go through makes the food they come up with much more interesting, and gives them a chance to pick up some skills so that when it comes to the finale they are well-oiled machines. I think they should join the Masterchef NZ and Masterchef Australia series together so there is a bigger pool of people (hence talent) to pick from, a wider market, one set of production costs, and varied backgrounds, so it just stays more interesting. I think that MCA has got a great variety of challenges; great variety of guests; they just need some new contestants (even if just one or two people from NZ made it into the mix, i think both shows could improve – getting rid of the dead weights that seem to make it into the top24 each season)
The first season did so well because it was fresh and different.
The second season had a really interesting mix of people with different specialties so the food was always interesting (Adam, Alvin and Marion all cooked totally different Asian flavours; Jono was very technical; Skye very health concious) and they were all very good at what they did.
The third season's mix of people didn't seem as varied. They didn't seem to have the same technical skill, and apart from Kumar and Billy, they mostly looked white and same-y, so it felt like less variety. Plus they dumped Cleo so soon, she was a really interesting character, and one the audience could easily warm to.
This season is more varied with people etc, but I just don't think some of them are as talented as they should be…Ben seems a nice guy but considering Mexican is his specialty, I definitely think he should do better (Aaron was way more creative with his Mexican in season 2). Amina is great – brings new cuisines into the mix; Audra's baking and general good food sense are all attractions. Downside: Dalvinder is gone; Wade & Mario don't look like they'll be stars (though Mario is definitely on the screen more with the melting moments and bollywood dance) and Andrew HAS GOT TO GO (he has performed badly so much, even the last episode can't make me think better of him…my own personal bias).
Sorry for the long comment, but that's my opinion…hmm, all this talk of food has made me hungry

I like the Friday master classes. Immunity should be changed around so that either Gary, George or Matt M. is the mentor while the visiting chef is the sole judge in "blind" tasting (though Matt P can be there so he or she doesn't have to soliloquy). Less chance for "favouritism" then.
- 22 littlepetal { 06.12.12 at 3:30 pm }
I still don't fall for the 'blind' tasting. The judges will definitely know who cooked which dish. Can't stop the production crew from telling them beforehand.

Ballast Point: So Much More Than Sculpin
- October 11, 2017
You may think of San Diego-based Ballast Point Brewing as the "Sculpin brewery," and you'd have good reason. Sculpin – and Grapefruit Sculpin, Pineapple Sculpin, Habanero Sculpin and new Unfiltered Sculpin – blew up big in the past three years. People grabbed it in bottles and cans, drank it on draught, and talked about it all the time. People who were brand new to craft beer suddenly thought they knew everything about it. The only thing they really knew was that they liked Sculpin. They didn't know anything about Ballast Point.
And that makes sense. Sculpin was the breakout beer for Ballast Point, the one that transformed them from a great local brewery to one whose beers were in demand across the country. It's a great story, and one you can tell your customers to get them hooked on the big fish – Ballast Point's entire portfolio.
The Ballast Point Story
Most craft brewers began as homebrewers. But the company that became Ballast Point, has its roots in the homebrewing business. The brewery's founders launched Home Brew Mart, a retail operation selling ingredients and equipment to homebrewers. It was a way they could make money to support their homebrewing "habit". The store just celebrated its 25th year in September 2017.The brewery came four years later...and eight years later, in 2004, two Home Brew Mart employees helped their homebrew club win the Club Of The Year award in the National Homebrew Competition.
Those two employees, Doug Duffield and George Cataulin, brewed gold medal-winning beers, both in the IPA category, and when they looked at each other's recipes, realized that they were strikingly similar. In 2005, Ballast Point specialty brewer Colby
Chandler worked with them to meld the two recipes into one beer, one of the very first "juicy" IPAs, where the fruity notes of Simcoe and Amarillo hops came out over the typically bitter and piney hops of the West Coast style. Chandler created Sculpin as we know it today. It blew up, and everyone wanted it.
Ballast Point 2.0
That's a good story in itself, but there are two very important additional pieces to it. First, it reminds us about what kind of brewery this is. It's no secret that the folks at Constellation Brands, importers of Corona and other Mexican beers, spent big money to acquire Ballast Point. There was a willing buyer and willing sellers, who after more than 20 years in the business decided the time was right to move on.
"Hey, it's the American dream," Colby Chandler reminded an Australian journalist during a recent trip to the land down under. "Constellation wants to get great liquid to consumers. That helps the industry as a whole. As a brewer, that's my goal, too."
It's worth reminding your customers that the brewery hasn't really changed. Ballast Point is still experimenting with flavors, in a very balanced and culinary way, and they still do small-scale, draught-only beers in their southern California facilities.
And Chandler is still brewing beer. He makes two or three different brews every week at Ballast's 'R&D' restaurant in San Diego's Little Italy. The company may have been purchased, but it continues to stay fresh and open to new ideas.
Beyond Sculpin: The Victory at Sea Series
Which brings up the second point: it's a lot more than just Sculpin! Ballast Point has always had a full range of beers, from easy-drinking session types like their Bonito Blonde and Even Keel Session IPA to IPAs like Sculpin and Manta Ray and big beers like Victory At Sea Imperial Porter. Your approach with the customer could mirror the brewery's approach to a new account: lead with Sculpin, establish the quality of the beer, and then follow up with beers for different occasions.
That's why a few beers from Ballast Point should be of particular interest to you right now. One you probably already know: Victory At Sea (VAS) Imperial Porter. This hugely flavorful and light-denying dark beer accents the roasted coffee notes of dark malts with a cold-brewed addition of San Diego's own Caffè Calabria coffee, and smooths it off with a hint of vanilla. It's big, but like all Ballast Point beers, it's balanced. The brewery suggests pushing this opaquely black beer hard at the Winter Solstice, December 21st, the "Darkest Day of the Year." VAS may not be on your average customer's radar, but if they like Sculpin, that's a great intro to this huge glass of black thunder.
And there are two flavor additions to Victory at Sea this year: Coconut and a Peanut Butter version (you know there are customers for that one!).These are fantastic beers – perfect for rich, celebratory holiday meals, from Halloween to Valentine's Day.
The Discovery Series
Sculpin and VAS might be too much for some customers. As in too much flavor or maybe just too expensive. That's why Ballast Point has a new Discovery series that includes beers from 4-6% ABV, with a more approachable flavor profile and a more affordable price point. These beers introduce customers to the brewery (or even to the craft category).There are familiar brands in the series, like Mango Even Keel, Bonito Blonde, and Longfin Lager, but there's a new one, too: Fathom IPA.
Fathom is the kind of beer you might find yourselves going back to: a solid IPA. Not a flavored IPA, or a "juicy" IPA, not a double or a session IPA and not a cloudy "New England" IPA, Fathom is the kind of IPA the West Coast brewers built their identity on: bitter with a malt backbone, enveloped in a cloud of citrus and pine hops aroma. Classic stuff your customers may have yet to discover.
It's All About the Beer
Who owns a brewery should not be more important than who makes the beer, and how it tastes. It's time to focus on the liquid. That's where Ballast Point shines. The brewery started with people who were all about making great beer and they still think that way. They still run the Home Brew Mart and are very much connected to homebrewing. Colby Chandler's work is proof of that.
Complete with "Tasting Room & Kitchen", Ballast Point's new Daleville, Virginia brewery lets foodies and beer lovers experience the San Diego craft beer scene in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Ballast Point: Selling the Portfolio
Take your customers on a journey through the Ballast Point lineup. Begin with the Discovery series, then watch them trade up to the Flagship and Explorer series.
Anchored by Fathom IPA and Bonito Blonde, these flavorful, lower ABV, attractively priced beers will "hook" customers on Ballast Point.
• Fathom IPA
• Bonito Blonde
• Mango Even Keel Session IPA
• Longfin Lager
• Rotating Seasonals
• Ballast Point Variety Pack

WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 17, 2014) - Members of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) met today with President Barack Obama,
Vice-President Joe Biden and senior members of the administration to
discuss 2015 enrollment issues under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The
meeting was called by the White House to focus on the end of open
enrollment in 2014 and preparing for the 2015 open enrollment period.
"Today's meeting was an important opportunity to reiterate that states are
best equipped to balance the access, cost, and geographic variables that
exist in their distinct markets," said Adam Hamm, NAIC President and North
Dakota Insurance Commissioner.
"The first open enrollment period provided valuable lessons, but more
importantly, positions us to better anticipate potential issues, address
them efficiently and coordinate oversight in a way that benefits both
consumers and carriers," added Monica J. Lindeen, NAIC President-Elect and
Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance.
The meeting, which took place in the State Dining Room, was an opportunity for
regulators to discuss ongoing challenges they see in their markets and
coordinate with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the
administration to find solutions. State regulators expressed concern about
the lack of insurance regulatory expertise with HHS Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius' departure and recommended that the appointment of a permanent
director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight
(CCIIO) be done quickly, and that the new director should rely on the
expertise of state insurance regulators as decisions are made.
NAIC CEO Senator Ben Nelson attended the White House meeting along with 43
chief insurance regulators from across the country. The President,
Vice-President, HHS Secretary Sebelius, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) Administrator Marilyn Tavenner, CCIIO Acting Director Mandy
Cohen, and other senior administration officials were in attendance.

This weekend Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio is coming to you from Paris, France. We've already told you how you can restore castles in France and now we're focusing on the French language. This week's voluntourism spotlight shows you how to learn French while volunteering in Africa. Check back every Wednesday for more voluntourism opportunities and tune into Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio on Saturday for more information.
Often volunteer travel can be the gateway to a second career working on the ground in developing nations. Did you know that being proficient in French opens up the door to doing significant volunteer work in Africa? Africa has over 30 French-speaking countries and a shortage of French-speaking development professionals.
If your long-term plan is work for organizations like the United Nations, Medecins Sans Frontieres, or The Red Cross in French-speaking Africa and Haiti, the Humanity Exchange has volunteer programs in both Benin and Cameroon, where you can learn French while also giving back.
In Ouidah, Benin, volunteers can work in a variety of community development and educational programs including teaching dance and the arts, working as a public health education or helping to teach at trafficked or vulnerable children.
In Douala, Cameron, volunteers work in community develop, assist local orphanages, provide aid for disabled children, and work as a HIV peer educator.
Since 2009, the Humanity Exchange has given volunteer on the ground experiences in international development. The organization hosts 50 volunteers a year with a focus on small integrative experiences. The minimum program is two weeks, though most volunteers work on average two to three months.

The Eminence Warriors traveled to Williamstown Thursday night to take on the Demons and prevailed, 60-52, for their first victory of the season. The Warriors were able to do so despite not having Dre Wright available due to a minor back injury and trailing at halftime.
Williamstown opened with the first three points of the game on a field goal and free throw before Kris Dixon scored inside for the Warriors.
The Eminence Warriors hosted the Gallatin County Lady Wildcats Dec. 4 in their second district matchup of the season and fell by 17 after getting off to a good start.
The Warriors opened up a 9-4 lead early in the first period after Lexi Tillett hit a layup, Tavi West nailed a 3-pointer and Aaliyah Bailey scored on a put back finished of the 9-2 run with two free throws.
When the visiting Western Hills Wolverines hit a free throw with 2:52 left in overtime it was their first lead since going ahead 5-3 early in the first period.
For the host Henry County Wildcats things looked grim as they lost a large second half lead and three starters were sitting on the bench with five fouls.
It looked even worse for the Wildcats 20 seconds later when Western Hills blocked an outside shot, recovered the ball and scored on a layup to make it 64-61 with 2:32 left.
The Henry County Lady Cats hosted the Kentucky Country Day Bearcats Nov. 29 in their season opener and broke open a close game in the first quarter in route to a 54-23 win.
Katherine Buckler got the Lady Cats started with a 16-foot jump shot to open the game. Savannah Medley then stole the ball and scored on a layup to make it 5-0 just 27 seconds into the game. But KCD came back with six straight points to take the lead.
After Ella White scored on a put back, the Bearcats regained the lead with a dirve to the basket.
The Eminence Warriors got their first victory of the season Saturday against the host Trimble County Lady Raiders after trailing at halftime.
The Warriors led 10-4 at the end of the first period but could have had a bigger lead, according to EHS Coach Jerry Skeeter.
"We played well in the first period but we missed a lot of easy shots," Skeeter said.
The Eminence Warriors opened the season with a home game against the Gallatin County Wildcats Nov. 27 and lost 74-47.
The Warriors were without their leading returning scorer, Josh Dotson, for the game. Dotson is nursing a back injury.
Gallatin County took advantage of the shorthanded Warriors and jumped out to a 19-0 lead. The Wildcats had four steals that they converted into layups and hit three 3-pointers in the opening onslaught.
The hoops season is under way with all four local teams completing their first games by tonight.
What can we expect from local teams this season?
That's a good question. Both girls teams have a lot of returning players and some new faces and losses that will help and hurt.
As Saturday approached I began to think about the fact that my vacation was about to end and that my oldest daughter was about to head back to college.
So when she put forth the idea of going to see a movie on Saturday I was totally on board. We both agreed that the 1:30 start time looked like the best bet for both of us.
Later, I noticed that would mean that I would miss the UK/U of L football game. There was no way I was backing out of quality time with my girl so I just set the DVR and decided that I could watch the game later.
EMS defeats Trimble, Henry
The Eminence Warriors middle school boys basketball team swept the Trimble County Raiders Nov. 14.
The seventh grade team defeated the Raiders 51-29 with Bladin Malone leading the way with 17 points.
The eighth grade team defeated Trimble 29-28.
The seventh grade team defeated Henry County 45-37 on Nov. 16. Elijah League led the way with 13 points.
There were plenty of highlights for local fall sports teams this year. District titles, better than expected performances and exciting games all made this an enjoyable season for Henry County and Eminence high school fans.
The Henry County girls soccer team had their best season ever with 12 wins, four losses and one draw. They also won just the second district title in the program's history.

It is especially designed for underclass students, and is recommended for students who will be pursuing degrees or careers in teaching, law, business, administration, or politics, and others who are concerned with communicating effectively with the general public. Each week three hours are devoted to small section meetings which focus on communication principles and application of these principles to problem-solving in public speaking settings. Course topics include audience analysis, source credibility, stage-fright, techniques of persuasion, and ethics. The ultimate purpose of the course is to encourage more effective communication by providing students with instruction and experiences which help them to be at ease before audiences and which encourage them to develop and present messages which have maximum audience impact. (Storey)
103. Media of Mass Communication. Not open to seniors. I and II. (4). (SS).
This course examines (1) the political, economic and historical context in which American mass media of communication perform, (2) the structure and functioning of the broadcasting, newspaper, magazine, book publishing, sound recording, and film industries and (3) the effects of these media on contemporary society and culture. Communication 103 serves as an introduction to advanced-level departmental media-related courses. One discussion section per week. Grading is based on discussion section assignments and three one-hour examinations. Two texts constitute required reading: Hiebert, Ungerait and Bohn, MASS MEDIA IV, and Lowery and DeFleur, MILESTONES OF MASS COMMUNICATION RESEARCH. (Buckley and Stevens)
250. Information Gathering for the Mass Media. Comm. 103 and concentration in Communication. (3). (Excl).
This course teaches the strategies used in seeking information and evaluating its validity in a number of mass media applications, including journalism, broadcasting, marketing, media research and public relations. The basic approach combines research methods used by librarians and journalists in a problem-solving model that applies to many tasks in the information industry. Institutional, human, library and data base sources are examined. A computer game helps introduce the search strategy model. The course will be taught with two lectures and a lab, and will make use of several short weekly assignments. There will be a midterm and a final, plus a final project. Students should be sophomores and Communication concentrators. The course may be taken prior to other writing courses in the Department, and is strongly recommended as a prerequisite to Communication 302. There will be assigned course pack readings and texts. (Marzolf)
290. News Writing. Comm. 250 and sophomore standing. (3). (Excl).
This course teaches the fundamentals of journalistic writing for newspapers and general audiences. The ability to type is essential.

It considers the types of artistic efforts that go into the making of a motion picture by emphasizing the roles of the director, the editor, the cinematographer as well as the roles of music and composition. The course traces the development of the motion picture from a primitive tool to a sophisticated art form. The latter part of the course is devoted to a selection of various films that illustrate genres, approaches to motion picture art: fantasy, neo-realism, the documentary film. An effort is also made to explain some of the more recent developments in film beginning with the experimental film and concluding with the animated film. There is a midterm examination and final exam. A written review of a contemporary film is required. There is one major text and one supplementary text. The course format is unusual in that the film medium itself (in the form of short clips, slides, etc.) is used to the largest possible extent in presenting the course material. Students who expect to pursue the film-making course sequence should take this course as early as possible, preferably during the freshman or sophomore years. (Beaver)
400. The Media in American History. Comm. 103, 202, and upperclass standing. (3). (SS).

As an overview of contemporary issues involving the economic performance of mass media industries, this course investigates attributes of the media marketplace that influence the nature of the competitive process. (Buckley)
405. The Media and the Arts. Comm. 103 and upperclass standing. (3). (HU).
Communication 405, Media and the Arts, is an exploration of the relationship between the arts and the mass media. Students will study the way various forms – theatre, dance, music, architecture, and the fine arts – are reported and critiqued in newspapers, magazines, and on TV as well as the ways the arts and the media effect each other. Because students will need an understanding of the emphasized art forms in order to appreciate what is written about them, the nature of each will also be examined. The course will center on four assigned art events, plays, concerts, exhibits, etc., that students will attend outside of class. In conjunction with these events, many related, in-class activities are planned: guest lectures by reviewers and artists, films, and demonstration. Readings will include selections from scholarly works on criticism, basic works on the arts, and local and national newspapers.

(Bloomberg) -- It finally happened: Rackspace is getting acquired.
After years of seemingly endless takeover speculation and at least one failed strategic review, the cloud-services company announced on Friday that it's selling itself to private equity firm Apollo Global Management for $4.3 billion. Now that the long-envisioned deal has finally been sealed, is it one that shareholders can be happy about?
Apollo is paying $32 a share for Rackspace. That's only about $2 more than where the stock closed on Thursday, but a 38 percent premium to its share price before takeover speculation started heating up (again) at the beginning of the month. It's also about a 30 percent premium to its average price in the year leading up to today's announcement. For what it's worth, $32 a share is exactly the price targeted by Wells Fargo analyst Gray Powell as an appropriate LBO valuation.
Rackspace's takeout value is much lower than the mid-$40s price tag that analysts said was reasonable back when the company explored a sale in 2014. Back then, discussions with CenturyLink -- a provider of landline phone service -- faltered because of a disagreement on price, people familiar with the matter said at the time.
A few years of diminishing optimism for Rackspace's earnings and sales potential amid competition from cloud-services behemoths like Amazon has since brought the price down. But investors should still be pleased. It's a better price than what Rackspace likely would have been able to achieve on its own anytime soon.
From Apollo's perspective, it's getting a decent deal as well. Sachin Shah, a merger arbitrage strategist at Albert Fried, notes that Apollo is paying a lower premium relative to Rackspace's unaffected price than it has, on average, put forward for the other buyouts it's undertaken recently. At about 6 times Rackspace's projected Ebitda for this year, the valuation is on the low end for the industry.
Rackspace checks a lot of the traditional private equity boxes. There's room to add debt to its balance sheet and its free cash flow is strong and steady. Under private ownership, Rackspace will be in a better position to revamp its business. The company is shifting its focus toward helping companies shift their IT operations to competitors' cloud services, as opposed to continuing to duke it out with Amazon and crew.
This is one persistent takeover story that seems to have found a generally happy ending.

Getting many likes on a social site like Instagram would definitely mean good for anyone doing business and this is why it would be important to struggle and employ these tips as shall be discussed hereafter to get your business growing through Instagram.
Hashtags usage
The use of hashtags cannot be ignored neither is the massive effect of using hashtags gainsaid. Well, many people have immensely benefited from using hashtags of social sites to promote their profiles and this is a great deal of a tip that one must consider executing. However, not just any hashtag will work for you but the popular ones like #photooftheday which is commonly used in social sites like facebook.

If you hear a plaintive wailing emanating from Florida today, it isn't the senator I'm calling "Narco Marco" trying and failing to reach his rumoured prescription meds off a high shelf with his EZ Grabber reaching aid.
It is instead the gibbering GOP establishment watching the campaign of their handpicked golden boy collapsing faster than a handful of grandmas fleeing a Jeb Bush event (That would actually be quite slow, but you get the idea.) Yeah, in case you hadn't heard: Little Marco is out.
Rubio took a drubbing last week in important states like Michigan. No doubt he spent the weekend consoling himself with Pet Shop Boys albums and a strongly mixed chocolatini, readying for the big fight in his home state of Florida. Marco is obviously in the closet about his inability to gain traction anywhere besides Minnesota.
No one's surprised Rubio got schlonged in Florida today — least of all regular dog-walkers at Miami's Alice C. Wainwright Park.
Where did it all go wrong? It's hard to know for sure, but I think I have an idea of what might have driven his lacklustre debate performance: Marco displays all the symptoms of someone with ADHD.
First, there is his constant need to drink water, which Donald Trump famously mocked. You'd think someone from Florida would be accustomed to hot temperatures, but not Rubio. A dry mouth and a subsequent need to constantly hydrate, are, of course, side-effects of ADHD meds.

The real kicker, though, is that Rubio was caught live on camera at the last GOP debate, consuming an unknown substance that looked very much like a pill.
ADHD medication would also explain other problematic aspects of Rubio's performance. ADHD medications like Adderall are great at keeping you focused and awake, but they can also make you talk too quickly, repeat words, and stumble when thrown sudden questions. Sound familiar?
Trump-supporting Redditors who observed the GOP debate also smelled a rat:
Also explains the dry mouth, repeat talking, fast talking, loss of focus, hesitation trying to think of a response, and seemingly memorized responses.
If your on adderal you can study great. You can focus on something like work great. You can talk fast. What you become pretty poor at though, is thinking of something on your own quickly in response to a sudden question. It's why students on adderal often get more time in exams, it takes longer for them to answer even though they are more focused. In other words, it explains the Robotisms.
Source: have adderal prescription
Several other responses from Redditors experienced with ADHD medication can also be found in the thread. The combination of symptoms and apparent pill-popping is impossible to ignore: Rubio is almost certainly on medication of some kind, and given the symptoms, my money is on ADHD.
The state of Marco's campaign got increasingly grim toward the end. I understand they took to playing a modified version of 'Marco Polo' at his appearances, in which a blindfolded Marco gamely chases after supporters in nearly empty halls who answer "Rubio!" when he calls out his first name.
Narco Marco has a lot in common with Hillary: neither of them can pull off a public appearance without being severely medicated. Starting with his infamous water break during the response to Obama's state of the union speech, to his current behaviour during debates including sweating, cottonmouth, and interrupting other speakers, perhaps he should try a debate or two without the pill-popping if he ever runs again.
If it's true that "once you pop you can't stop," Narco Marco should at least be upfront about it. He wants to be President, after all! Among the Floridian Latinos I've bedded, which is a statistically significant slice of the population, Trump is called "Papi" and Marco is called "El enano con ojos vidriosos" — or, "the glassy-eyed dwarf."
Think about how Trump would handle things if he needed to pop some pills like many believe Narco Marco did in the video above. He'd make a show of it. He'd dare the chattering classes to comment on it, and in general would own it. I mean, like, literally own it. He'd use Trump-brand ADHD pills.
There have been other issues and missteps by Rubio. Certainly there are questions about his sexuality. I wish the only parallel between Marco and El Chupacabra was their Hispanic origin and not their legendary ability to suck the life out of stronger mammals. Some have said that Rubio only ran because he misunderstood what a "GOP establishment circle-jerk" was.
@Nero I feel bad for Little Marco but at least he has his 2nd career to fall back on. pic.twitter.com/kG65sDzsBx
— Greg (@RoninGreg) March 16, 2016
Rubio has received bad advice how to battle Trump, and has made some laughable attempts to out-Trump him, going far beyond the bounds of decency in the process. Marco likes to make fun of Trump's hands, a typically catty move common in the gay community (Marco honey, the feet are a better predictor of what a man is packing).
Trump makes fun of Marco's vote counts and event attendance. If we look at his past, the foibles aren't new. It took Marco 20 years to pay off $100K in loans for law school. In lawyer terms, that's like taking a decade to pay your friend for his ADHD pills he gives you. Maybe Marco did that too!
It's Rubio! #Florida https://t.co/9yV80Xwpun

Anyway, as I say, I feel awful. While a continuing Narco Marco campaign might have been mollifying for the party elites content to suffer election loss after election loss, it would have been hilarious for the alt-right. Imagine some of the fun things we could have looked forward to! Marco announcing his running mate is a guy named "The Machine" — since you don't use real names in the club.
Marco committing to build a border wall, as long as it is made out of foam and has a great sound system every hundred yards. Bill Clinton famously got in trouble for his haircut budget. 20 years later, would we even bat an eye at Marco's Astroglide bills?
All joking aside, Senator Rubio is Cubano Obama: he has done nothing but work for the government and he hasn't done anything of note in the senate, except sell out the American people with the Gang of 8. Incidentally, like me, Marco lost his virginity to a gang of eight.
And the hits keep coming! Most recently, Romney came out against Trump like a prizefighter. What happened to the meek Mormon mouse of 2012? I hate to assume some illicit affair but isn't he essentially saying "NO ONE TREATS MY MAN THIS WAY"?
I think we can all come to terms with the fact that Marco Rubio will never utilize all of Jack Kennedy's secret Whitehouse date rooms with gentleman callers, but that doesn't mean he has reached the end of his usefulness on the campaign trail, both as a nostalgia moment for the GOP elite, who barely cling to sanity, and the alt-right, which considers him Trump's court jester.
Now Daddy has blown Rubio away in Florida, I almost feel bad. I wanted Narco Marco to stay in the race! He was the great Cuban hope of the GOP establishment, who were counting on him to mule their globalist agenda to rank and file Republicans who mistakenly think their party is for a strong America with a robust economy.

It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I am writing this blog tonight. I appreciate all the calls, notes, messages and encouragement to continue the blog. However, I am not able to write about Ray yet. I am still unwilling to accept his loss.
Tonight's blog is written about Lisa York Montgomery, Ray's CNA for the past year. Tomorrow will be Lisa's last day working for us. I am grieving over Ray and I am grieving that I am losing Lisa too. I believe that her love, her devotion, her professionalism, compassion and dedication to her patient, is one reason I was able to keep Ray with me this past year.
Lisa is smart, personable and dedicated to her patient. She is diligent and observant about every little thing that occurs with her patient and she is ever mindful of their best interest. I am keenly aware that there are far too many incidents of patient abuse and neglect and there are many incidents of theft. I was not happy about having to open my home to a stranger. I worried about what we had disappearing and I had a couple of people come who I sent away immediately. Lisa's honesty is beyond reproach. She was always on time and never missed a day of work.
With Lisa, I never had to worry. She didn't have to be told what to do, she knew what to do and she did it with a smile. Even though Ray's speech was impaired from the stroke, his mind was clear. Lisa always talked to him, not around him, which happens far too often in hospitals.
If any of you know of anyone who needs a CNA to care for their loved one, please contact me. I would like very much to help Lisa find a new job and a new patient who would thrive on her care and devotion, as my beloved Ray did. God graced Ray's life, and mine, with Lisa. If you don't need a caretaker for your loved one, please pass this along to someone who might. Thank you.

Our Cart Path Pledge To You
We don't like keeping carts on the paths any more than you do! Because of this, we pledge to you that we'll be "off the cart paths" during our In-Season time period for as many days as possible.

This voucher will be valid on any future day through the 2018 season and the standard rate for that day will be the single rate paid.
Our goal is to issue as few of these vouchers as possible, and to reward golfers that support The Palmer Course at Stonewall Resort!
We've recently introduced The King's Course, a short course which overlays the existing Palmer Course but has a unique set of tees that allows youth, beginner golfers and skilled players alike the option of a 2,600-yard short course.

It would not be an RIT spring break if we didn't get pounded with some kind of winter storm. Of course, action in the athletics world is at its peak, with postseason for winter sports in full swing and the spring sports officially underway.
The men's hockey team (17-11-6, 15-8-5 Atlantic Hockey Association) will play in its first postseason contests as a Division I this weekend in a best-of-three series against Holy Cross. RIT is the #2 seed in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament, while Holy Cross is #9. Information for this weekend series can be found here. Come and support the squad, as two wins this weekend lifts the Tigers to the Blue Cross Arena next weekend.
RIT comes into the weekend on a roll, riding a five-game unbeaten streak (3-0-2). Last weekend, RIT knocked off Bentley by identical 5-2 scores to close out the regular season. On Friday, an unlikely trio led the way, while Anton Kharin scored twice on Saturday.
Simon Lambert earned Atlantic Hockey Player of the Month for the second straight month and third time this season.
RIT's women's hockey team (19-6-0), ranked #5 nationally, has a shot to make its second straight NCAA Tournament with a good showing at the ECAC West Tournament in Plattsburgh this weekend. All four teams in the tournament are nationally-ranked, which shows how strong the top of the ECAC West is.
Three RIT wrestlers will compete at the NCAA Championships this weekend. It is the first time RIT has had three wrestlers compete at the tournament since the Reagan Administration.
Four men's hoopsters earned All-Empire 8 honors.
The RIT women's basketball squad (12-12) wraps up its season this week as they compete at the ECAC Upstate Championships. It is the second straight postseason berth for the squad. Three Tigers earned All-Empire 8 accolades.
Mike Hardbarger of the track and field squad broke a school record for the third straight week and was named Empire 8 Athlete of the Week, while the Tigers had a good showing at the New York State Championship.
LaKeisha Perez broke her own 55-meter hurdle record, leading the Tigers at the State Championships. Perez was also the Empire 8 Athlete of the Week.
Senior Quinn Donahoe picked up his second straight Empire 8 Diver of the Year honor, while Jeff Kaemmerlen had a tremendous weekend at the New York State Championships. Seven athletes earned All-Empire 8 honors.
The RIT men's lacrosse team opened its 2008 season with a win over Gordon on a typical early March day in Western New York. RIT, ranked #15 in the current USILA.com poll, faces its first tough test on Wednesday, at #10 Roanoke.
While lacrosse is still thawing out from last weekend's game, both the baseball and softball teams start their 2008 seasons down south. Baseball is in Myrtle Beach, while softball competes in Orlando.
Something tells me neither team is sympathetic for the rest of us who had to scrape a 1/3 of an inch of ice off our cars this morning.
As a relative newcomer to RIT, I am amazed at the enthusiasm and support the entire community shows for the men's hockey team. I know from the number of games I attended that the crowd at Ritter acts as a 'seventh man' and has been a major factor in the team's success. Here's hoping we can take that spirit on the road all the way to the NCAAs.

Very nice
Nice quality, super comfortable. love the way it looks wearing it. great as a maternity dress, hope it still fits after the baby is born
The dress was great for our Mexico beach vacation
The dress was great for our Mexico beach vacation. It arrived just in time before we left so no time to wash, easy to pack, easy to slip on (and off), and looked sexy. Fit was great for my 6'1" tall wife. It did shrink significantly in length once it was washed/dryed after we got home, now it is more of a knee length dress unfortunately. But for the price, we got good use out of it and my wife will still continue to wear as a short dress.
Five Stars
Loved this dress ..got compliments all night!!
Very cute plaid shirt/dress
My daughter loves this outfit - she has only had it a week but has worn it at least three times - it looks adorable on her.

Mission trip to help in Mexico
Volunteers, supplies, donations sent to Chihuahua after drought
June 5, 2008
Steamboat Springs — There are three vans leaving Steamboat Springs tonight headed for Chihuahua, Mexico, to help victims of drought, famine and poverty.
The Steamboat Christian Center has organized its eighth mission trip to the area to offer items and services donated by local businesses and residents. The group has a lot planned for the nine days it's gone.
This year, the group is venturing farther into Mexico than ever before. "We've always dreamed of going up into the mountains, about five hours west of Chihuahua City, into the Sierra Madres on the rim of Copper Canyon," said Troy Lewis, pastor at Steamboat Christian Center. "This is where the Tarahumara Indians live, and from what I hear, is as Third World as it gets."
Their destination is Coreache, a village of about 450 people. There is a children's center there with a dorm where children can stay during the week. The group plans to fix up the school and the school director's home.
"This year we have a medical team and a construction team going with us," Lewis said. The teams are made up of people from across Routt County with various skills and backgrounds.
There are six people on the medical team who will set up a clinic for the week to treat minor ailments such as colds, cuts, burns and broken bones.

Pam Nettleton, a nurse at Yampa Valley Medical Associates, spent the past few months collecting spare supplies to take on the trip.
"I'm hoping we can offer a little something that can bring comfort to someone who needs help," Nettleton said.
The construction team will build the second floor of a school, and the 10 teenagers in the group will spend their time painting and playing games with children.
"I'm hoping we can reach out to them, even though we don't speak the same language," Caitlyn Berry, 15, said of her second mission trip to Mexico with Steamboat Christian Center.
"Last time, it was such a reality shock to see kids at the orphanages with no parents. I never see kids without parents. I was so grateful to come home to a family," Caitlyn said.
