| Random acts of kindness’ spread in area
The next kindness stop was the Savage Elementary School.
"We gave a talk in front of the kids, and then each student received two flowers. One to keep and one to pass on," Badt said.After Savage, Badt and other members of RSVP and CIA went to the Fairview Elementary School and talked with the fourth-grade class about the importance of sharing kindness to everyone. "We actually got to take the kids uptown, and gave them flowers to hand out to random people they saw," Badt said.If you received a flower or a card, if someone was kind to you or made you smile, did you keep that bit of love to yourself? Or did you pass it on? It could be a smile or a phone call; just pass it on in the spirit of human charity. It really makes a difference.reporter@sidneyherald.com

Avoidant paruresis ('bashful bladder' syndrome)
Avoidant paruresis (also known as 'bashful bladder' syndrome or psychogenic urinary retention) is a social anxiety disorder that involves the inability to pass urine in the presence of others. Avoidant paruresis can start at any age and affects mainly boys or men, although girls and women can also suffer from it. The frequency of the condition is difficult to estimate, but surveys suggest that up to 7 per cent of the population may have paruresis, and this figure could be an underestimate. Why do some people get avoidant paruresis? The cause of avoidant paruresis is unknown, although a combination of inherent biological factors and factors in the patient's social environment seem likely to play a part. What are the symptoms? Being afraid or unable to urinate when others are nearby.
Mary-Kate Olsen's minder's saw Heath Ledger first: witness
Heath is unconscious. I don't know what to do!" Ms Wolozin screamed in her first call to Olsen, police reportedly said. Olsen, who has an apartment around the corner from Ledger's - but who was in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival at the time - replied: "I'm sending my private security there." When Ms Wolozin then found Ledger had turned cold she called Olsen again, saying: "I think he may be dead." Rather than suggest she call 911, Olsen said: "I already have people coming over." A police source reportedly said later: "So, why wasn't the first call to 911? People who work for the stars are consumed with how things appear." It has been suggested the bodyguards may have "cleared" the scene. No illegal drugs were found in the apartment. Results of toxicology tests from a post-mortem are not expected for a week.
Blache replaces fired Williams
The Redskins survived all of that to make the playoffs for the second time in three years but bowed out in the wild card round to the Seattle Seahawks.
Williams, who led the defense to three top-10 seasons in his four seasons with Washington, was the clear choice of the players and the rest of the staff to be Gibbs' heir apparent.
However, there was friction between Williams and Snyder during their three meetings. A source said Williams hurt his case by implying he could have done some things better than Gibbs during their four seasons together. That could have prompted Gibbs to not fight as hard as he could have for Williams.

Reshaped Braves aim toward spring training
With that swing, you want the kid to just lash line drives all over the place, like he did last year. As one or our astute regulars, Mr. Baseball, points out in a comment Monday night (after this original post), batting Kotsay second would invite teams to bring in lefty relievers to face Kotsay and the switch-hitters behind him. I can see where Cox might view it similarly, so here's my other option: Escobar, 2. Johnson 3. Chipper, 4. Teixeira, 5. Francoeur/McCann, 6. Francoeur/McCann, 7. Kotsay, 8. Diaz/B. Jones. Yes, my OTHER lineup also has a lefty batting second. Just the way I see it, one of these lineups seems right to me, at least the top four in one of these (bottom half, order can be tweaked a bit here or there). Because despite the lefty thing, it's worth noting that Kotsay's career average/OBP/slugging are almost identical vs.
