History in the Making
A recent trip along the back roads of East Texas led us to a quick stop at the Rusk County Depot Museum which had tons of history on display in the form of documents, antique equipment and restored buildings. There is way too much to cover in one blog entry.
I also didn't have a lot of time for this stop so I spent most of it strolling the grounds to check out the old buildings. One thing I learned was that I was genuinely interested in knowing how brooms were made. I honestly didn't know this until I came here.
All right, so brooms don't grow in the wild...we've learned that today but there's an even bigger lesson to take away here. In my opinion the most memorable building on the location is the "Arnold Outhouse":
Sure, it may not be as exciting as the See-Thru Bathroom in downtown Sulphur Springs but it is historically significant. So much so that it has its own Historical Marker:
The marker reads:
"Prominent Henderson businessman and civic leader John R. Arnold moved his family to this property in 1908. He added a second story to the home (razed in 1966) that already existed at the site. He also built a number of structures around the property, including this outhouse. It was larger than most standard outhouses of its day, and the milled pattern on the door and window facings matched that of the large Arnold house. The Arnold Outhouse is preserved to illustrate part of the lifestyle of 19th and early 20th-century Texans."
But that information is no substitute for witnessing an outhouse firsthand:
Yes kids, that's how it used to be. This was the best case scenario for getting your "thinking done." Ask your grandparents why there are catalogues and corncobs in there.
And when you start thinking about how bad the world is now, I would encourage you to always look on the bright side. Despite political, economical and environmental turmoil...at the very least...we get to poop inside. And sometimes that makes all the difference.

Homemade brandied cherries are a simple and delicious way to dress up your cocktails.
1 lb. sweet cherries, pitted
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
2 tsp. lemon juice, fresh-squeezed
1 stick cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup brandy
Tools: cherry pitter, saucepan, ladle, jars with lids
Wash and pit the cherries. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except the cherries and brandy and bring to a rolling boil. When the liquid begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium. Add the cherries and simmer for 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat, add the brandy and let cool. Transfer the cherries into clean jars and refrigerate, uncovered until cherries are cool to touch. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Stanczyk 's position has been overrun! I was trying to write a blog, but the course of events has been running at EXTREME Internet speed so much of this blog post may be "old news" to you — but in case its not, this is very exciting news!
According to a Polish website (The National Digital Library of Poland) …
URL: http://nac.gov.pl/node/682
- By mid-year (2013), they plan to digitize 2.3 Million historical (>100 years old) vital records.
- This will happen in two phases: March, June
- This PDF file (see link) lists 40 pages vital records from MANY parishes (a few synagogues too):
- It appears the plan is to digitize about 1.37 Million records by March and the remainder (another 1 Milliion) by the end of June.
These are actual church record images! I hope they plan on digitizing records from the Kielce Archive (please do PACANOW, BIECHOW, SWINIARY, BESZOWA, ZBOROWEK, KSIAZNICE and STOPNICA parishes).
Can anyone detail the plans for JUNE yet? Unfortunately, the 1.37 Million records in March are NOT from the KIELCE archive or any parish where Stanczyk's ancestors resided?
Do not forget about GENETEKA database in the meantime:

Thanks in advance for any answers from our genealogists resident in Poland!

SAN DIEGO, July 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OncoSec Medical Inc. (OTCBB:ONCS), which is developing its advanced-stage OMS ElectroOncology therapies to treat solid tumor cancers, announced it has received notified body certification to the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) 13485 standard for the "design, development, manufacture, and distribution of electroporation devices." The certification confirms the company's Quality Management System (QMS) and that the company's manufacturing processes are controlled, documented and compliant with the stringent requirements set by the European Union.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110314/MM64943LOGO)
"The ISO certification is a significant accomplishment and an important milestone for OncoSec. Certification affirms that our QMS meets the highest standards and strengthens OncoSec's commitment to product quality and development," said Punit Dhillon, President and CEO. "With this certification in place, OncoSec is now one major step closer to obtaining the CE Marking necessary for commercialization in Europe."
Companies receiving the ISO 13485 certification must demonstrate an ability to provide medical devices and related services that consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements. Achievement of ISO certification offers customers and suppliers an additional level of confidence in the quality and reliability of OncoSec devices, as well as the company's commitment to continuous improvement. OncoSec's review was performed by SGS, a world leader among notified bodies in inspection, verification, testing, and certification.
OncoSec's electroporation device, the OncoSec Medical System (OMS), is currently being used in three on-going clinical trials for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In addition, the OMS has been used in Europe in Phase IV clinical trials for the treatment of head and neck cancer and cutaneous and subcutaneous skin cancers.
About OncoSec Medical Inc.
OncoSec Medical Incorporated is a biopharmaceutical company developing its advanced-stage OMS ElectroOncology therapies to treat solid tumor cancers and metastatic disease. OMS ElectroOncology therapies address an unmet medical need and represent a potential solution, for less invasive and less expensive therapies that are able to minimize detrimental effects resulting from currently available cancer treatments such as surgery, systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy and other treatment alternatives. OncoSec's core technology is based upon its proprietary use of an electroporation platform, the OncoSec Medical System (OMS), to dramatically enhance the delivery and uptake of a locally delivered DNA-based immuno-cytokine (OMS ElectroImmunotherapy) or chemotherapeutic agents (OMS ElectroChemotherapy). Treatment of various solid cancers using these powerful and targeted anti-cancer agents has demonstrated selective destruction of cancerous cells while sparing healthy normal tissues during early and late stage clinical trials. OncoSec's clinical programs include three Phase II clinical trials for OMS ElectroImmunotherapy targeting lethal skin cancers. More information is available at www.oncosec.com.

Have you ever wondered just how far and how frequently your ball travels during a game of pinball? Have you ever wanted a record of a particularly high-scoring game? Graphic designer Sam Van Doorn modified a pinball machine that does more than just record the highest scores: it records every path the ball travels over the course of your game.
For his STYN installation, Van Doorn built a simple pinball machine with a small twist. Posters can be fitted over the table so that, at the end of your game, you have a unique representation of your game. (It's not clear from his write up whether the ball itself contains a pigment or if there's pigment underneath the poster.) Van Doorn's goal was to create a pinball machine that functions as more than just a game; he wanted to transform the machine into an art-making device, one in which the final design is based on the interaction between human and machine. Of course, he notes, the better your pinball game, the better the poster you create in the end.

We are working hard to revamp our house in order to prep it for sale later this year. Which means, at the moment, my dining room is actually in my living room while we redo the floors. I'm sitting on my sofa staring at dining chairs, extra toys, shelving, and a ton of craft supplies scattered willy nilly. I need some organization inspiration!
As I work on this house, I'm enjoying dreaming up lots of plans for the nexthouse. At this point, I can still pretend the home we find will have walk-in closets everywhere and an endless amount of storage.
But since that's probably won't be the case, I'm trying to prepare ideas now to make every ounce of storage as usable as possible. The five projects below all fit that bill – making the most out of space that might otherwise be wasted:
1. Under Stairs Storage, from Joat-London
2. Craft Closet for Kids, from Better Homes and Gardens
3. Shoe Boxes as Drawer Dividers, from Real Simple
4. Vegetable Drawers, from Dering Hall

Welcome to the Ethics Program website where you can meet our faculty, learn more about our undergraduate programs, and get additional information about the role our program plays as part of Villanova University's Augustinian mission of transforming hearts and minds.
The Ethics Program community comprises three permanent faculty, three post-doctoral Catherine of Siena Fellows, an administrative assistant and undergraduate student workers. Additional faculty from Theology and Religious Studies, Philosophy, Humanities and Augustinian Traditions, and the Center for Peace and Justice serve the program through teaching and administrative service on our steering committee. We are proud to be an interdisciplinary program that works with interested parties from around our great university.
Villanova University believes that issues of ethics and values are at the heart of every human endeavor. With this in mind, the Ethics Program offers an introductory course in ethics (ETH 2050) that is a required course for all students in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the School of Business.
In addition, the Ethics Program provides both a concentration and minor that is available to students in all of the University's undergraduate colleges. These offer students opportunities to pursue in depth an intellectual discipline that studies human character and conduct—whom we ought to be and what we ought to do. Both the concentration and the minor promote a greater understanding of ethics as a discipline from theological and philosophical perspectives, and both contribute to Villanova's character as a Catholic, Augustinian university.
In addition to academic offerings, the Ethics Program sponsors co-curricular and extra-curricular events such as the annual Undergraduate Ethics Symposium, the Ethics Bowl, Ethics for Lunch, and the annual Ethics Lecture.

Most tax credits issued by the state to film production companies end up being sold to brokers, which then resell them at a profit to financial firms, other corporations, and wealthy individuals to slash their tax bills.
At least 96 percent of the $265 million in tax credits used to attract movie and television productions to Massachusetts were sold by the film companies between 2006 and 2010, according to the state Department of Revenue.
The incentives are so generous - rebates of up to 25 percent of production costs in the state - that most film companies do not end up owing nearly enough in taxes to use the credits. So they sell them at a discount, fueling a booming industry for brokers, accountants, and savvy taxpayers.
The trade in credits is sparking new criticism of the economic development program.
"The public assumes that the film tax credits are going to the film industry to bring jobs - not to Walmart,'' said Deirdre Cummings, legislative director for the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group, an advocacy organization based in Boston. "I think the general public would have a problem with that.''
Companies and individuals use tax credits to reduce tax bills. For example, a $1 million credit reduces a company's tax payment by that amount.
But most film companies do not owe enough in state income taxes to use the credits, so they typically sell them.
A production company that is awarded $10 million in tax credits might sell them to a broker for $8.7 million. The broker then sells the credits to a financial company that owes state incomes taxes for a bit more - say for $9 million, earning the broker a $300,000 profit. The financial firm can then claim the full $10 million in credits on its tax return, saving $1 million.
The practices were highlighted last month when prosecutors charged a Cape Cod filmmaker, Daniel Adams, with fraudulently obtaining $4.7 million in credits for the films "The Golden Boys'' and "The Lightkeepers.''
Prosecutors said Walmart Stores Inc. and Bank of America Corp. bought the credits through a broker to reduce their taxes.
The companies do not report how much they earn in Massachusetts or pay in taxes in the state. The state Department of Revenue generally does not disclose how much individuals and corporations pay in taxes because of confidentiality laws.
Bank of America declined to comment. Walmart said it "makes every effort'' to comply with state laws.
Other companies confirmed they buy film tax credits. One of the largest insurers in the state, Hanover Insurance Group of Worcester, has purchased "small amounts'' of tax credits in recent years. Kahn, Litwin, Renza & Co. Ltd., an accounting firm with offices in Boston and Providence, buys film tax credits to help clients lower their tax bills, said Robert D'Andrea, a principal with the firm.
Officials in Governor Deval Patrick's administration declined to say whether the governor supports film and other transferable tax credits, which can be sold to investors. A state commission is studying the issue, and the administration is awaiting the findings, to be reported in April, said Alex Zaroulis, a spokeswoman.
"We are focused on making sure the tax credits work,'' she said.
Massachusetts, one of about three dozen states that provide film incentives, began offering tax credits in 2006 to lure movie and television productions to the state, create jobs, and boost the economy.
The incentives have helped to attract major feature films such as Ben Affleck's movie "The Town'' and increased film production spending in the state by more than $300 million from 2006 to 2010, according to the Revenue Department.
The competition between states for film productions has been fierce in past years. Massachusetts, for example, adopted its tax credits just months after Rhode Island launched a similar program.
Film incentives are not the Bay State's only transferable tax credits, which are frequently used to help nonprofits and small companies not yet earning significant profits.
The state allows companies to sell credits for so-called brownfield development on former industrial sites; historic rehabilitation; building low-income housing; and manufacturing medical devices. This fiscal year, the state expects to spend more than $200 million on transferable credits, including $80 million for film companies.
Critics say the state could save millions of dollars a year by converting the tax credits to a grant program that provides direct subsidies equivalent to the 87 percent value that film companies typically receive. That would cut out brokers and buyers who pocket the rest, estimated by the state at $33 million over five years.
Such a system would allow the public to know who benefits from the subsidies. For the most part, the names of tax credit buyers are kept secret because of privacy laws.
"They are essentially a grant,'' said state Senator Jamie Eldridge, Democrat of Acton, "so the state government needs to have a more transparent process for making decisions about whether this is a good use of taxpayer dollars.''
Many brokers and film companies, however, say the current system works fine.
In Somerville, Powderhouse Productions Inc. churns out television programs for several networks, including "Dogs 101'' for Animal Planet, "Extreme Engineering'' for the Discovery Channel, and "America's Wildest Roads'' for the Travel Channel.
The company has gotten several million dollars in state film tax credits, selling most of them to Coastal Capital Advisors LLC in Boston, which then peddles them to companies looking to cut their tax bills.
Coastal would not disclose its buyers.
Tug Yourgrau, Powderhouse's president, said the credits have helped his production company become one of the biggest in New England and triple employment to more than 100 since 2006.
"It's Miracle-Gro,'' he said.

text: ARLINGTON, Texas -- Nelson Cruzs case for a spot in the All-Star game just got a little stronger. Cruz hit a grand slam, Nick Tepesch took a shutout into the sixth inning and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 10-5 on Friday night. With the All-Star rosters set to be announced Saturday, and likely no Texas players among the starters for the first time since 2007, Cruz sent his 21st homer into the bullpen in left-centre field to make it 6-0 in the second. Cruzs fate is in the hands of Detroit manager Jim Leyland, with a combination of player and fan voting making the final choice. He is hitting .268 and leads the team in homers and RBIs (65). "He certainly deserves it," said manager Ron Washington, who had Leylands job the previous two years after the Rangers went to the World Series. "I do believe Jim will make the right decision and the players will make the right decision." David Murphy and Adrian Beltre also homered for the Rangers, who won the first American League game in Arlington between the in-state rivals and beat Houston for the 10th time in 11 games overall. Tepesch (4-6) had five strikeouts the first time through the Astros lineup and had a career high of nine by the fourth inning. The rookie right-handers previous best of eight strikeouts came in his last win -- nine starts ago against the Astros on May 12. Lucas Harrell (5-9) walked four in the first two innings and three of them scored. Cruzs homer came after consecutive walks to Ian Kinsler and Murphy. Elvis Andrus also was aboard on a one-out single. New Astros president Reid Ryan had a front-row view of just how far his last-place team has to go to become a contender. He was sitting next to his dad, Hall of Fame pitcher and Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan. The younger Ryan couldnt have been pleased by what he saw in the fourth inning. With two outs, Brett Wallace barely had to move before dropping a popup by Cruz near first base. Beltre followed with a shot off the foul pole in left for his third homer in six at-bats and No. 17 on the season. "The effort and focus is definitely there," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "That goes without question with these guys. Its one of those things weve played good teams that have played well and we have not played our best baseball. We just need to clean it up, play solid baseball." Tepesch, who had a 12-1 lead before the bullpen struggled in a 12-7 win in Houston in May, was up 10-0 when he once again had trouble getting outs the third time through the order. Four straight Astros reached to start the sixth, capped by a two-run double from Chris Carter that knocked out Tepesch. Carlos Pena and J.D. Martinez singled before Ross Wolf got a flyout and turned a double play on a soft liner back to him from Matt Dominguez. Tepesch was charged with four runs and seven hits in five innings to go along with his nine strikeouts. Opposing batters are hitting .158 the first time they see Tepesch in a game, but .465 the third or fourth time. "All in all, he threw the ball well," Cruz said. The Rangers had scored one run in the first inning over their previous 25 games when Murphy hit a drive into the Texas bullpen in right-centre after Kinslers leadoff walk. It was Murphys 10th homer and sent the Rangers to their highest scoring game since they beat Detroit 11-8 on May 19. "We know what were capable of as an offence," said Murphy, who was moved up to No. 2 in the order despite hitting just .221 because of a recent slump by Andrus. "Its been up and down a little this year. Were trying to finish strong (before the All-Star break) and tonight was a great way to do that." Harrell, who was the losing pitcher when Texas ace Yu Darvish came within an out of a perfect game in the second game of the season, walked six to bring his season total to 53 in 103 2-3 innings. The Rangers had just five hits while scoring nine runs -- seven earned -- against him. "You walk six guys, youre going to give up a lot of runs," said Harrell, who gave up just one run in six innings in the loss to Darvish. "I couldnt throw a breaking ball for a strike." NOTES: Cruzs grand slam was his sixth at Rangers Ballpark, a record, and second this year. He also did it on April 21 against Seattle. ... Astros C Jason Castro had two hits and an RBI. ... Manny Ramirez, the 41-year-old slugger who signed a minor league deal with Texas this week, will serve as the designated hitter when he plays his first game for Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. ... Rangers RHP Kyle McClellan accepted an outright assignment to Double-A Frisco and is expected to report Sunday. ... RHP Alexi Ogando (right shoulder inflammation) is set for his first rehab start Saturday at Round Rock. Hes on the DL for the second time this season. Air Max 270 España . The 43-year-old closer, in his 19th and final big league season, has said hed like to play the outfield. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says hes thinking about allowing Rivera to do it this weekend, when the Yankees finish their season with a three-game series at the Houston Astros. Comprar Air Max Baratas .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. http://www.tiendasairmaxbaratas.com/zapatillas-air-max-97.html . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Air Max 97 Baratas Mujer . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. Nike Air Max 720 Hombre Baratas . The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed.

Here's another sign of economic recovery. This chart shows the year-over-year change in vehicle miles traveled in the US.
For October, total vehicle miles traveled were up over 2% from last October, representing the biggest jump since the financial crisis. (Via Calculated Risk)
The rise is probably a combination of the economic recovery and the big decline we've seen in gas prices of late.
Meanwhile, the big trend in vehicle miles traveled continues to be one of a secular plateau.
For year, total car travel only went up, but for the past several years it's moved sideways, probably due to a combination of societal shift, aging, and gas prices. Here's the long-term chart:

Over the past 16 years Dottie Lessard has proven to the world that transplants do work! She underwent a life saving double lung transplant in 1994 and an equally critical kidney transplant in 2002.
At 6 weeks old, Dottie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and doctors told her parents not to expect her to live past 2 years of age. When Dottie reached 2 years old, doctors told her parents she would not make it to first grade. Dottie had a better idea. Today, at 43, Dottie is one ferocious athlete with an insatiable appetite for life with every intention to compete in athletics and in life at the highest level possible. She has defied all odds. Dottie has won several Gold Medals in the U.S. Transplant Games, carried the Olympic Torch through Boston and has been acclaimed as one of Boston's Exceptional Women of the Year. Bryant Gumble of HBO Real Sports featured Dottie on his show after following her for two years while Runner's World Magazine honored her with their prestigious "Heroes of Running Award". She has been featured in other sports magazines as a "Top Inspirational Athlete".
Dottie considers it a miracle to be alive. Her first book was released with high praise on May 26, 2010 titled "Seven Letters That Saved My Life" (available on http://www.amazon.com & http://www.barnesandnoble.com )
People seeking inspiration, working professionals, people overcoming or dealing with challenges (physical, emotional, etc). Maybe facing an organ transplant or fighting for a promotion at work. Could be a stay at home mom or career woman. Concerned spouse, family member or friend seeking encouragement for a loved one.
I really love my logo from my old website: http://www.conceptcage.com/DottiesW…index.html
Recently we have updated the site but need the logo to corrospond with the new look. New site address: http://www.dottielessard.com
It is important to me that the words "Live Life Fully" remain in the logo.
The only aspect of the logo that I would like to see change aside from the color scheme is the two heart shapes at the tail of the phoenix. I would like them removed. The end result being a sharp logo that is congruent in quality with my new site and color scheme.
I would like to have the following high res files if possible:
vector file
and specifically an image that fits in the top left of the new site where it currently has a stock logo and says "Synthetik". As a part B of this project, I would like the updated logo and then my name "Dottie Lessard" next to it in a way that would plug right into that part of the site.
Thank You!!!
PS If I really like the work there are a lot of projects I will be needing design help with in the near future!
PPS due to some questions we've gotten we're game for logo redesign submissions in addition to what was originally asked for, if this gets competitive we'll up the prize again.

BALTIMORE - Midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday's Class 1A North Region playoff game, Manchester Valley's football squad came to the crossroads.
A swarming Reginald Lewis defense and a couple of penalties had forced the Mavericks into a fourth down and 24 yards-to-go situation.
No problem.
Senior quarterback Dom Frank calmly dropped back and found wide receiver Zach Heron down the left sideline, just a step ahead of the Lewis defense. Frank threw a pinpoint pass that was hauled in by Heron for a 33-yard gain and a crucial first down.
Three plays later, Frank's 6-yard touchdown run proved to be the difference as the fourth-seeded Mavericks scored a thrilling 20-14 victory over top seed Reginald Lewis before a vocal crowd at Baltimore Polytechnic's Lumsden-Scott Stadium.
"It was a play that worked earlier in the game, and I thought, why not go to it again?" said Maverick head coach Tony Shermeyer. "They weren't covering the wheel route. We were having a lot of trouble with our pass protection, so we went with a full-house backfield and max protection.
"Dom made a nice throw, and Zach made a nice catch."
By winning the first playoff game in the school's four-year history, Manchester Valley earned a spot in the regional final. On either Friday night or Saturday afternoon, the Mavericks (8-3) will face second-seeded New Town (9-2) for the right to advance to the state semifinals.
"It turned out to be a great game," said a smiling Shermeyer. "At the end, we were able to come up with some big plays, and that shows our senior leadership. Their athleticism, especially on defense, gave us fits. We were lucky that we have an athletic quarterback. Dom can make plays with his feet."
Frank made the biggest play with his arm. But the Frank-to-Heron long-distance completion that turned the tide wasn't the first gamble that paid off for Shermeyer and his team.
Trailing 8-7 in the final minute of the first half, Manchester Valley moved to the Falcons' 14-yard line on consecutive pass plays. Frank hit wide receiver Chad Kolper for a 36-yard gain, and Joey Bien made a diving catch of a tipped pass for a 16-yard pickup with just one second left.
Bien's catch moved the Mavericks' into field-goal range at the Lewis 14-yard line, but Shermeyer and his staff decided to go for the touchdown. Frank hit senior wide receiver Tyler Cherigo on a slant pattern with no time remaining to give the Mavericks a 13-8 lead at the break.
While the Manchester Valley offense made several big plays, the defense did an outstanding job all afternoon. Led by Brendan Flaherty and Jake Fernandez, the Maverick defense held a Reginald Lewis offense that averaged nearly 39 points per game during a 9-1 regular season to just two touchdowns.
Manchester Valley did an especially fine job on Falcon running back Donnie Neal, who had run for at least 100 yards in 19 consecutive games. The Falcons' workhorse was limited to 65 yards on 22 carries, and posted just one run of more than nine yards.
"We came into the game with the idea that he wasn't going to beat us," Shermeyer said. "We did a nice job getting penetration, and whenever he (Neal) made a cutback we were able to get there and make the tackle. He runs low to the ground and is hard to tackle, but our guys did a great job."
The game started slowly for both teams. After a scoreless first quarter, Cherigo gave the Mavericks a spark when he returned an interception 66 yards to the Lewis 28-yard line.
Six plays later, Frank's two-yard run over the left side of the line gave Manchester Valley a 7-0 lead with 11:01 left in the first half.
"The ball was right there, and I had my lead blockers all the way down the field," Cherigo said of his momentum-changing interception.
The Falcons, who won nine straight games after losing to North Hagerstown in their season opener, took advantage of the second of Manchester Valley's four turnovers to take the lead. A fumbled punt was recovered at the Maverick 11-yard line, and Neal took it from there.
After the senior gained nine yards on first down, he ran untouched into the end zone to put Lewis on the board. Neal's two-point conversion run gave Lewis an 8-7 edge that lasted until Cherigo's touchdown catch on the last play of the half.
With Manchester Valley slowing their running game, Reginald Lewis took to the air. On its third drive of the second half, quarterback Tayvon Queen found wideout DeQuan Thomas open deep and hit him in stride for a 58-yard touchdown to give the Falcons a 14-13 lead that lasted well into the fourth quarter.
Manchester Valley started its fateful drive at its own 46-yard line. Frank gained 14 yards on two carries, but then the Mavericks started going backward. Fullback Aaron Roy, who finished with 35 yards on seven carries, was tackled for a four-yard loss.
After a Maverick holding penalty, a sack of Frank by Lewis' Nay Sutton, and a false start infraction, Manchester Valley was stuck at third down and 41 yards to go. Frank scrambled for a 17-yard gain, but the Mavericks still looked to be in a desperate situation at fourth-and-24 before Heron's wheel route and Frank's pinpoint pass changed everything.
The long completion seemed to deflate the Reginald Lewis defense. The Falcons jumped offsides, and Frank followed with a 4-yard run that put the Mavericks inside the 20. A pass interference penalty on third down gave Manchester Valley a first down at the 6-yard line, and Frank completed the 54-yard drive on the next play when he powered in for the winning touchdown.
"We just wanted to get a couple of chunks of yardage and then get the first down," said Frank of the game-winning drive. "We converted, which was the best part about it."
Westminster dominates; South Carroll falls
Elsewhere, the results were mixed for Carroll teams on Friday night.
Westminster, the top seed in Class 4A North, overwhelmed Blake of Montgomery County 51-7. South Carroll, in the playoffs for a county-record fourth straight year, was blanked 38-0 by top-seeded and defending state champion Middletown in the Class 2A West semifinals.
Westminster's lopsided win improved the Owls' record to 11-0, and set up a regional final showdown with Sherwood this Friday night at Ruby Field.
The Warriors (9-2), who hail from Olney in Montgomery County, defeated Catonsville 26-7 in the other semifinal.

An attorney for the Republican Victory Fund, an independent expenditure committee created by Senate President Steve Pierce, gave Sen. Frank Antenori a sharp rebuke for allegedly asking Pierce for help with his race, a violation of state laws prohibiting coordination between campaigns and independent expenditures.
Michael Liburdi, who is representing the Republican Victory Fund, said Antenori left Pierce a voicemail about a week ago asking that the committee make expenditures in the Legislative District 10 Senate race, where the fiery Tucson Republican faces a tough race against former Democratic Rep. David Bradley.
In a letter Thursday, Liburdi warned Antenori that such coordination is illegal. He also told Antenori that, by asking Pierce for money, he barred the Senate president from actually spending money to help him in LD10.
"Your voice mails (sic) to President Pierce have now, as a matter of law, completely foreclosed any possibility that RVF would even consider such an expenditure," Liburdi wrote.
Antenori, however, said he never asked for help from the Republican Victory Fund. He said he only asked Pierce for help in a general sense as a sign of GOP unity, and never once mentioned the independent expenditure committee. He said he also called House Speaker Andy Tobin and asked for general help as well.
"I called Steve Pierce as a gesture to Steve," Antenori said. "All I did was say, 'I need help.' And I didn't even say I need help from the (Republican) Victory Fund. I said, 'Hey, I need help. Can you help me? As the Senate president, I need help.'"
Antenori has been targeted by several independent expenditure groups that are working to elect Democratic candidates. As of Thursday, those groups had reported spending more than $187,000 to defeat him.
So far, the only outside spending on his behalf is $802 from Americans for Responsible Leadership, a group that has drawn scrutiny from California courts for giving $11 million to a committee there that was then used in the campaigns for two ballot measures in that state.
Antenori, a former Green Beret special forces soldier with a penchant for being blunt, accused Pierce of steering Republican Victory Fund money away from candidates who don't support his re-election as Senate president. Antenori is supporting Sen. Andy Biggs' bid for the Senate presidency.
"It is a veiled and futile and weak and pathetic attempt to make an excuse for making sure that three Republicans that would not have voted for him for Senate president do not get elected to the Senate," Antenori said of the letter.
Pierce, R-Prescott, has faced similar criticism for not helping Legislative District 8 Senate candidate Joe Ortiz and Legislative District 9 Senate candidate Tyler Mott, as well as for spending heavily in the Legislative District 16 GOP primary to help Sen. Rich Crandall defeat fellow Republican Rep. John Fillmore.
Antenori also said Liburdi's letter was meant to give Pierce an excuse for not spending money to help fellow Republicans who don't support him. Antenori said the letter was timed to shield Pierce from criticism at a Thursday evening meeting of the Maricopa County Republican Party's executive committee, which was scheduled to vote on a resolution backing Biggs for the Senate presidency and backing Sen. Steve Smith, who is running for the House in Legislative District 11, for the House speakership.
The Pinal County Republican Party recently approved a resolution backing Biggs and Smith, as well.
Many political observers expect Antenori to lose in the Democratic-leaning LD10, which covers eastern and part of central Tucson.
Liburdi would not comment exactly what Antenori said to Pierce in his voicemail, or respond to Antenori's assertion that he didn't mention the fund or ask for an expenditure in LD10.
"The letter speaks for itself," Liburdi said. "Everybody knows that Steve Pierce is affiliated with that fund, so this was the appropriate response."
Liburdi said he planned to send similar letters to other candidates, as well, though he wouldn't say who.
When the Republican Victory Fund waded into the LD16 Senate primary, where it spent $52,730 on attack mailers against Fillmore, Pierce fended off criticism by saying he had no control over the committee's strategy or where the money was spent. He said his only role was in raising money for the committee.
Antenori questioned how a request for help from Pierce could be construed as attempted coordination if Pierce has no control over expenditures.
Pierce could not immediately be reached for comment.

Alameda distiller helps make absinthe legitimate again
Alameda distiller is first in U.S. to sell drink forbidden for 95 years
It was the drink of choice for 19th century painters, poets and writers.
Vincent van Gogh sliced off his ear while sipping it, Edgar Degas and Pablo Picasso painted it, French poet Paul Verlaine cursed it as he lay dying in his bed.
For nearly 100 years, the United States and many other nations banned it.
Absinthe. "It leads straight to the madhouse or the courthouse," declared Henri Schmidt, a French druggist urging his own countrymen to outlaw the green liquid in the early 1900s, which they did.
Now it seems that no one can remember exactly why it was prohibited. Some say it was the chemical thujone found in the herb wormwood, used to make absinthe, that affects the brain. Others say it was a plot by the wine industry to put the popular spirit out of business. And there are those who believe it was a case of baseless hysteria, not unlike "Reefer Madness," the 1936 propaganda film about marijuana.
Earlier this year, a lone Washington, D.C., lawyer took on the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau in an attempt to lift the ban. After some legal wrangling, the agency agreed - with some limits.
Last week, St. George Spirits of Alameda received the news that, after seven applications, the federal agency had approved its label, the final obstacle before going to market. On Monday, the small artisan distillery sold its token first bottle, becoming the only American company since 1912 to sell absinthe in the United States. Then the staff took a moment to celebrate.
"We made champagne and absinthe cocktails, which rapidly degenerated into just sipping absinthe out of the bottle with crazy straws," said Lance Winters, a 42-year-old master distiller at the seven-employee company.
For 11 years Winters experimented, adding a little of this and little of that. No matter how close he came to perfection, each new batch had to be dumped down the drain to comply with federal dictate. But come Dec. 21, St. George will begin selling 3,600 bottles of its Absinthe Verte. That's too few to distribute to big chains, so for now the company will offer it at its Alameda tasting room and at limited liquor stores for $75 for a 750 ml bottle.
The 25-year-old company, started by Jorg Rupf, a German distiller who moved to the Bay Area to attend law school, is most known for its Hangar One vodka, but it also makes single-malt whiskey, grappa and a number of eau de vies.
From the beginning, absinthe was Winter's baby. The brewer-turned-distiller liked the challenge of blending his grape-based brandy with locally grown herbs like wormwood, absinthe's most important - and controversial - ingredient, plus tarragon, basil and mint. Winters also uses anise and fennel.
"Absinthe is really complex," he said. "There are a lot of powerful botanical ingredients all fighting for dominance. So you strive for balance."
St. George will compete with three other absinthe distillers - the Swiss Kubler, French Lucid and the Brazilian Absinto Camargo. All have begun importing the licorice-flavored spirit into the United States in recent months. It was the Kubler distillery that hired attorney Robert Lehrman to end the prohibition, while Lucid was the brainchild of Ted Breaux, a New Orleans chemist who reverse-engineered an old bottle of absinthe to devise his formula. He worked with a French distillery to reproduce it. All have paved the way for U.S. distillers to sell their own perfected versions of the drink, which are likely to hit the shelves soon.
Lehrman said Yves Kubler, who produces a few hundred thousand bottles of absinthe a year, saw a real market for the spirit here and was eager to tap into it. So in 2000, Lehrman started making inquiries of federal regulators only to determine that the fight would be a tough one.
"When something has been banned since 1912, it's hard to get it undone," he said.
But Lehrman persevered. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau officials said they were willing to accept absinthe formulas that fall under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations that the drink contain no more than 10 parts per million of the chemical thujone, but the word absinthe on the bottle's label had to be small and used with a qualifier like St. George's Verte or Kubler's Swiss Absinthe Superieure.
Lehrman said thujone in mass quantities "is bad stuff," but small amounts are found in a number of herbs, ingredients and materials, including sage and cedar, and are considered fairly harmless. More notable is absinthe's high alcohol content, typically 120 proof or more, about 50 percent higher than vodka and whiskey.
"Look, absinthe is bad the way Jack Daniels is bad, the way Skyy Vodka is bad," says Lehrman. "The worst component is the alcohol. If you drink too much, something bad will happen."
But in 1905 the Swiss government was convinced that it was absinthe alone that turned a law-abiding citizen into a homicidal maniac. After Jean Lanfray, a 31-year-old laborer, killed his pregnant wife and two children, the Swiss government banned the spirit. Although Lanfray had sampled a bottle of absinthe before breakfast that morning, officials failed to take into consideration that he had also consumed Creme de Menthe, cognac and soda, more than six glasses of wine and a cup of coffee laced with brandy, says Barnaby Conrad III, the San Francisco author of "Absinthe: History in a Bottle" (Chronicle Books, 1988; the publisher is not affiliated with this newspaper).
Conrad, an artist and journalist who traced the downfall of absinthe in his book, says the drink became synonymous with the degeneration of the world's most famous bohemians, from Van Gogh's infamous ear cutting to Verlaine's debaucherous sprees of sex and rage.
Even Oscar Wilde was quoted as saying "After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."
But Conrad says absinthe was probably the least of these artists' problems.
"Van Gogh suffered from schizophrenia, a disease that went way back in his family, and Verlaine was a raging alcoholic," he said.
The author believes that absinthe merely became the scapegoat of politicians. Its controversy was probably fueled by the wine industry, which was threatened by the popularity of absinthe.
But the mystique of the famous liquid only adds to its allure, says Conrad, who has sold more of his books in the last five years than in the first 15 of its existence. Many young enthusiasts entranced by its folklore have tried ordering absinthe on the Internet, hoping not to get caught. Some modern-day moonshiners even tried distilling it at home.
"It's the forbidden fruit factor," says the author.
And that, he says, will certainly help sales.
"Just because you drink absinthe doesn't mean you're going to become a creative genius," Conrad warns. "But it will tickle your imagination as it tickles your brain cells."
Why the mystique?
Modern absinthe got its start as a medical elixir in the late 18th century but became immensely popular as a drink in the mid-1800s, especially among the avant-garde.
Edgar Degas created his famous painting "L'absinthe" of a woman sitting in front of a glass of absinthe, and Pablo Picasso painted "The Absinthe Drinker" during his blue period. Ernest Hemingway is said to have been a consummate absinthe drinker and was known to have a glass or two before running with the bulls.

Nattily dressed in suits and ties, a group of students from Dighton and Rehoboth made their case.
The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School Mock Trial Team recently won its first division championship in a statewide competition organized by the Massachusetts Bar Association to help educate students about the justice system. On Friday, the 14-student team from D-R fell to a team from Wayland, but remained proud of their accomplishments in the competition this year.
"It's incredible to see the team grow from the bottom, starting at the first trials, to one of the top 16 teams in the entire state," said Brendan Henrique, a 17-year-old junior who co-captains the team. "It's the farthest any D-R team has ever been. It was a lot of hard work and effort. It's incredible to see everyone grow."
The mock trial completion entails a mock trial based on an actual case that has been tried before, and the winner is decided typically by a lawyer or an actual judge who rates student performances as lawyers, prosecutors and witnesses participating in direct examinations, cross examinations and other parts of the simulated deliberations. Out of 127 participating schools across the state, the Dighton-Rehoboth team was one of the last 16 teams in the state remaining in the tournament before Friday's loss.
"It's a great thing for the school," said Jacquelyn Tremblett, the Dighton-Rehoboth teacher who coaches the team. "There is a lot that goes into it. It's complex and time consuming. They have to do a good job. We have a lot of theater and drama kids to come on and play those roles. The attorneys are the kids that have the strong interest in law who really want to be able to do more of the analytical stuff."
The case that they argued on Friday was a civil case, involving the story of a man who piloted a plane at a county air show and died, resulting in his son suing the manufacturer over an alleged faulty design.
Alan Boudreau-Fine, an 18-year-old senior, said he is considering becoming a lawyer, but regardless of that, the mock trial team is beneficial to anyone who participates by helping them cultivate critical thinking and public speaking skills.
"It's good practice," said Fine, who, like Henrique, has been on the team for three years. "You really go through a lot of information and pull out the facts that are important. It's fun. But it takes a lot of prep. We do a lot of work studying the facts of the case and building our arguments. If you are interested in law or public speaking, it's really fun."
Fine said that, "it's a little hard ending on a loss, but this is definitely the best the team D-R has had since I've been here."
Tremblett said this year was their first division championship, which sprung them into the final 16. Tremblett said the group also received coaching from two attorneys, including Taunton-based Russell Wedell and Dianne Lawlor.

On exam, the patient had subcutaneous emphysema on the dorsum of the hand and circumferentially all the way from the wrist to the shoulder. There was no erythema, tenderness, or fluctuance. The wound was clean and dry without evidence of infection. There was no pain with range of motion at any joint, and the compartments were soft (indeed, squishy). The patient was afebrile and well-appearing, and the white count was normal. An MRI of the extremity was obtained:
I apologize for the poor resolution -- for some reason I could not download the nice high-res images. The black spots under the skin, between muscle groups, and (weirdly) around the bones is air. According to the radiologist, there was no evidence of fasciitis, or any other inflammatory/infectious process.
A general surgeon, a hand surgeon, and an internist spent a while puzzling over this with me. The big concern was that gas in the soft tissues is the hallmark of certain very bad infections -- think gangrene and the so-called flesh-eating bacteria, which are terribly life-threatening. The patient didn't look infected, but being diabetic and on steroids and nearly 90, they sometimes don't show you the evidence of infection. The MRI was more definitive that it was probably not infected, but if not, then how the hell did all that air get up there?
Ultimately, we played safe, admitted him for IV antibiotics and observation. My theory was that the cut on the palm was acting as a sort of ball-valve mechanism where each time he opened and closed his hand, he pumped a little more air into the palm, which then tracked up the arm as more and more air got insufflated.
People are weird.

Audis are either finely crafted German luxury cars or glorified Volkswagens, depending on your opinion. This opossum, however, thought an A4 was a house and nested in the engine bay, scaring the hell out of a tech doing regular maintenance.
We'll let him tell the story:
Guy came in for his 5,000 miles service......only took 3 belly pan bolts off and...BAM!...possum falls in my lap....looks at me like "WTF!?" and takes off across the shop hiding in some other guy's toolbox.
...scared the crap out of me... I still cannot understand how it built a nest and lived there for some time, guy drove with the possum wherever and got it back home, possum must have gotten out and went back in there (heck it built a nest)....
Oh yeah, i screamed like a little girl :)
I gotta read the fine print in my contract, I'm pretty sure it did not say anything about servicing any possums.
Lol the funny part is that i actually wrote on the warranty line (on the work order) "PERFORMED 5K SERVICE, FOUND LIVE POSSUM WITH NEST IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DISCARDED POSSUM AND CLEANED UP AFFECTED AREA."
We certainly wouldn't want to find one of these nasty marsupials in any car, let alone chilling out in the nose of a brand new Audi. We can only imagine the ribbing this tech will be getting. [QuattroWorld]

Hangover Helper: Fried Cabbage Vareniky at Varenichnaya in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn
Just what the doctor ordered.
The Russians may be the most experienced drinkers-to-excess in all of Europe, so you'd imagine they have a hangover cure or two up their sleeves. My favorite is a hair of the dog drink, a variation on the Bloody Mary in which you swap out the tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and ice for more vodka. Visit any Russian cafe on a weekend (or, frankly, a weekday) and you'll see a table halfway through a fresh bottle of BYO vodka as they eat their lunch.
So that's one reason to make the trek to Brighton Beach the morning after some overindulgence.
The other is the sweet, starchy comfort of Russian dumplings, with toothsome skins and soft fillings at once pleasantly mild but intense in flavor. Vareniky, which are slightly smaller than your average pierogi, are my favorite, and are at their best when simply boiled. Sure, fried skins are more flavorful, but I find they get in the way of the Slavic dumpling's textural harmony. The fried cabbage vareniky ($6.50) at Varenichnaya allow for the best of both worlds: sweet, caramelized cabbage filling in a slightly chewy boiled wrapper. This is comfort food to be sure, but it's also an especially fine example of Eastern European dumplingcraft.
A handsome pile of vareniky comes topped with candy-sweet caramelized onions; be sure to order some sour cream on the side. If a meal of vodka and boiled dumplings sounds too sparse for your tastes, round it out with a glass of the house compote (not-too-sweet fruit cocktail juice). It's not the best in Brighton Beach, but it'll do in a pinch. All the more with a slurp or two of vodka added. Hey, when in Moscow...
