Highlights from Arkansas:
Meta stuff: Still working out the kinks on this feature. There shouldn't be 30-second ads in the future (just 15-second ones). The plan is we'll get to pick certain highlights to be included, and that these will be available as soon as a few hours after each game. Also working on not having such an ugly branding banner on the top there.
Also taking suggestions for what we should call it and what else we can do with it. We don't really have time to do entire video UFRs but maybe video picture pages or something? What're you interested i?
Dear Diary Catbreads Math for Charity
"Have you ever wondered what our current Michigan basketball roster would look like as an old-school 1970s hoops squad?" --FabFiver5. More hoops wallpapers by jonvalk, et al.
'Tis the Season. So I meant to take a picture of this but you guys filled filled a poor woman's entire office (as in the computer is on top of an Amazon box) with gift donations for Adopt a Shelter, which is tomorrow. I still need some volunteers if you're free in the morning and wanna help throw a Christmas party for homeless kids.
I also inadvertently opened the flood gates for good causes going on this holiday season.
- Athletic Angels: This is Barwis (eeeeeeee)'s foundation that is doing something similar to the above but is donation-based, providing a catered dinner, clothes, and some toys for impoverished kids in metro Detroit. Their party is next Thursday. Video of the 2010 event.
- Merit: David Merritt stopped by to plug his new venture that's kinda like those feel-good shoes everybody has nowadays, where they make fashionable clothing and 20% of every purchase goes toward a scholarship via the Jalen Rose thing.
- Big House Big Heart: Brandon responded in AA.com about the Big House Big Heart Champions for Charity run he nixed, explaining he'd rather the university run it than a for-profit organization. People in this thread say the profit is small but I don't know where those #s are coming from; the greatest evidence that Brandon is just being a grinch is the event's director is all like "if they want it they can have it and we'll do all the work anyway; it's for charity!"
- People for Hoops Information Against Starving Dylans: UMHoops did their annual drive to keep them viable and made their it. I miss the old hardwood look but love everything else they've done with that place. Now about that photo above…
Bacari calls them his motivating shoulders. There's one floppy-haired coach's head that's still unused next to (director of basketball operations) Travis Conlan on the far right and FabFiver is taking suggestions; I vote S&C coach Jon Sanderson.
Yeeeeah. This man is going to kill me. Just like our dominating Big Ten team is going to murderate a puny SEC team, says ClearEyesFullHart in his Arkansas preview. BIG TEN! That's it for the cagers in the diaries, now back to the world where our conference has five 'N's.

text: I just moved into a new house in Finksburg Maryland which included a 1 year Home Warranty from HMS National. I was concerned before even moving in and had posted some messages on this forum because the HVAC is a Goodman. I had always heard Goodman was at the bottom of heap but had improved some as of late. My HVAC is 8 years old and I tried to turn it on for the first time and their is no power all to the Thermostat. I got out my Volt meter and found a blown 3AMP AGC type fuse on the control panel in the inside unit. I installed a new 3 amp fuse and it blew in about 30 seconds. I can smell the transformer windings burning at it was hot to the touch. I know a short somewhere has caused the tansformer get hot. I would guess the tech will just swap out the Control board. If I continue to have problem s I want to get a new unit. Has anyone ever worked with HMS before? Will they let me pay extra to get a unit of my choice? I know we can't discuss proces here but about how much more would a Trane unit be than a replacement Goodman? Also Does anyone work in the Finksburg area that could work with me. HMS told me to call Combustion and Cooling. I don't know them at all.

ROSEMONT, Ill. (AP) — Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips says college athletes need more than just a voice when it comes to issues that affect them. They need a vote.
"That has to happen," he said.
But unionization?
"I know it's not the right mechanism for change nationally," he said.
While Phillips opposes unionization, he hopes the discussion leads to changes that give athletes a greater say — including a vote — when it comes to their welfare, their health and their safety.
That's one of the biggest issues hanging over the college landscape, with former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter leading the push to form the first union for college athletes. And as Big Ten administrators gathered at the conference's headquarters on Tuesday, Phillips made a few things clear.
He supports the motives behind the push to form a union. He just doesn't think it's the way to go.
A regional director of the National Labor Relations Board ruled in March that they are university employees, giving them the go-ahead. Northwestern appealed. Players voted last month on whether to form the first union for college athletes, but the result is not known because the NLRB impounded the ballots pending the appeal and a possible court fight.
"It goes against all that is what we believe is right in the landscape of college athletics," Phillips said. "We're not the minor leagues. When 98.7 percent of your student-athletes don't go on to play professional sports ... college athletics is college athletics. Is it in the right place? It's not in the right place, but we're going to hopefully work to get it to the right place. But does that mean you drastically change the dynamics and the relationship of what college athletics is supposed to be?"
Phillips doesn't see a need for a third party to come between athletes and coaches and administrators. He also warned unionizing would lead to higher costs and a decrease in scholarship opportunities.
But he is adamant that athletes need more power. Simply putting them in advisory roles is not enough.
"Let's get them ... in a position where they're allowed to vote and make a difference," Phillips said. "They're living the experience. Why wouldn't we listen to them? They know more than we do about their day-to-day experiences as student-athletes."
Supporters say a union would help athletes obtain better compensation, medical care and other benefits. The day before Northwestern football players cast their ballots, the NCAA's board of directors endorsed a proposal to give schools in the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC more power to address such issues for its athletes, including adding the full cost-of-attendance in scholarships, expanded health insurance, additional help with academic and career counseling, and providing money for the families of athletes to travel to NCAA tournament events. A formal vote is not expected until August.
"I think that we've got to find a way within the reform effort to find us some autonomy to do things a little bit differently given our situations," Nebraska AD Shawn Eichorst said.
Critics say the governing body is only moving on those issues now because of the possibility of unionizing. But NCAA officials have noted these issues have been on the agenda for years and got bogged down in the approval process.
Either way, steps are being taken. The discussion continues, with the union decision looming.
"It's been discussed to a degree, but some of it seems to be at this point out of our hands at least for a certain amount of time," Minnesota AD Norwood Teague said. "We follow it, are concerned about it, want it to work out."
Phillips said there's "zero" angst on his part about the union decision and that he's "at peace" with a process that thrust his school into the spotlight no matter how it plays out.
He said he's "really proud" of Colter and the players for bringing the issues to the forefront, for helping drive the discussion, for being a catalyst for change at the national level.
"Areas of welfare and health and safety, those are the right kinds of things for us to be talking about," he said. "So I think there's some really good and positive residual that's occurred from the conversation about unionization."

Heres the story-
Right after xmass 09 went and got it from Battle Grounds WA and towed it all the way to Ellensburg and got straight to work on it. All i knew was it needed a new alt so i went for the 100amp GM and made it fit in there. Started up but would die after 10 seconds
Eventually i traced the problem through the fuel system to a clogged line in the tank, nothin a little compressed air couldnt fix. And ever since she has ran great! Especially after replacing the clutch.
Ive taken her on a few trips up manastash ridge for a little fun and was amazed at how well it could do completely stock.
Currently i just got some new drilled yota rims from backcountrycrui (thanks Mike!) and put on some 27in snow tires that use to be on my impreza wagon. Fit great and with a little trim and bash there is almost no rubbing.
Right now she is in the exhaust shop having that redone, cat back with glasspack. And i have a weber in the mail!
Future plans are to go for 6in lift, steel bumpers, 5 speed swap when im tired of or brake the 4 speed, and get some general grabber at2 tires.
Anyways enough blabberin, here are a few pics from yesterday back in south hill

Why don't you describe a holiday or festival in your country? (Don't hit me!)
How about taking one of the drab topics they tend to select in exams, like our old friend the environment, and give it a twist, so do something on why pollution is a great things- it will enable you to recycle useful language around the topics they choose, while escaping the utter tedium of another essay on a dull subject.

It's finally here, summer vacation. Of course it is great to be done with classes, but I miss RIT. I miss working at admissions, i miss javas, and I really really miss all my friends. It's tough living with people for so long and getting so close to them, because you expect them to just be around all the time. Now that it is summer they're all gone. Thankfully most of them are in Rochester so I can go and visit.
Of course i have summer plans of my own that i need to be home for. This summer im working as an electrical engingeer at a company here in syracuse, and I'm also working at Syracuse University. All this work should keep me busy and hopefully make the summer go by fast.
p.s. eventhough im not at admissions i will continue to write!!!

On Jan. 8, the Portland City Council's Public Safety, Health and Human Services Committee took action that should shock anyone who cherishes the freedom our country was founded to protect. By a unanimous vote with no public opposition, the committee endorsed a new law to criminalize smoking in more than two dozen public parks and squares throughout the city. If passed by the full council next month, the new edict will add these areas to the 2008 list of 50 city-owned athletic fields and playgrounds where smoking tobacco is already a criminal offense punishable by a $50 fine.
Among the downtown gathering places on the expanded list are Monument Square, Longfellow Square, Congress Square, Tommy's Park, Post Office Park, Lincoln Park and the Eastern and Western Promenades. Off-peninsula areas include Deering Oaks, Payson Park, Baxter Woods and Riverton Park. (At this week's meeting, the city's legal department also confirmed that, contrary to an assumption held for the past five years, the city-owned Riverside Golf Course is an "athletic facility" where police should also be patrolling for smokers — perhaps working undercover as "golfers.")
You may have noted that I mentioned the "freedom" our country holds dear, not "freedoms." That's because our enlightened modern political leaders and judges have consistently affirmed that, though the supernatural being who created humankind endowed us with three unalienable rights, the right to "life" trumps the rights to "liberty" and "the pursuit of happiness" every time, even when the latter two are combined in the act of enjoying a smoke (which our ignorant founding fathers did all the time, even indoors).
After all, if you don't have life, then the other two rights aren't much use to you. And the scientific evidence is clear and irrefutable: Stray wafts of secondhand smoke can kill people almost as surely as stray bullets. In 2010, U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin released a report that states there is "no risk-free level of exposure" to tobacco smoke. "Inhaling even the smallest amount of tobacco smoke can also damage your DNA, which can lead to cancer," Dr. Benjamin declared.
Scoffers and doubters should note that Benjamin is not only a surgeon and a general but also a vice admiral who commands a force of 6,500 "uniformed public health officers" (so described on surgeongeneral.gov) stationed around the globe to fight vices like smoking. She wears a very impressive coat with numerous medals and gold sleeve-rings on it, and somebody once gave her an award for being a "genius." So put that in your pipe and … well, never mind.
What's shocking about the committee's vote is that it does so little to protect our most precious freedom. For example, what's the point of legally securing the air that happens to be blowing in Monument Square during any given minute when one can be exposed to deadly puffs on all the sidewalks that lead to the square?
The city's 2008 law not only protected playing fields, trails and playgrounds, but it imposed a 20-foot smoke-free buffer zone around all those places, 24/7/365. The law for parks and squares does not include a buffer, so someone can stand on the Congress Street sidewalk that runs along Monument Square and huff butts all day long. If there's a southeasterly breeze, hundreds of innocent bystanders could be (indirectly) slain.
That's only one of many gaping loopholes in this lifesaving law. When Portland's first outdoor smoking ban passed five years ago, I wrote an open letter to city officials alerting them to the dangers of an even deadlier scourge: secondhand snot. As I pointed out at the time, state officials wisely require sneeze-guards on salad bars.
"If chickpeas and bacon bits deserve legal protection from exposure to secondhand snot, why not people?" I wrote.
I'm still waiting for an answer.
And what about motor-vehicle exhaust? When I walk around downtown, I inhale a heck of a lot more of that than secondhand smoke. Is there a "risk-free level of exposure" to tailpipe emissions? I don't think so.
In the interests of fairness and public health, the police shouldn't just be targeting the teenagers, hipsters, homeless people and retirees who smoke in public squares. All smokers, drivers and sneezers who do not use handkerchiefs should be banned, fined and otherwise banished from our healthy community.
My only fear is that Portland's police force isn't large enough to tackle the task. We need some of Dr. General Admiral Benjamin's federal vice troops on the streets. I urge President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and other committed foes of tobacco to send us the help we so desperately need.

NORRISTOWN — In a joint press conference Tuesday, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman and Berks County District Attorney John Adams announced the arrest of six Mexican Nationals in connection with a high level of methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking operation dubbed "Breaking Bad."
The investigation began in December of 2012 and continued until the last member of the six-person operation was arrested on Monday.
According to Ferman's office, the operation began when an undercover Montgomery County detective began an investigation on suspected drug dealer Jose Dejesus Montilla, 37, with no known address. During the detective's first meeting with Montilla in December of 2012, Montilla allegedly offered to sell the detective one pound of crystal methamphetamine for $27,000. During their first meeting, Montilla sold the undercover detective 28 grams of crystal methamphetamine for $1,800.
"That was significant at the time because this undercover detective was posing as a cocaine dealer, not a meth dealer, but this particular trafficker was really trying to push the sale of methamphetamine," Ferman said.
According to Ferman, there had not been an overwhelming demand for methamphetamine in the region, but through different investigations, authorities learned different drug dealers were trying to open a market in the area.
Officials in Montgomery and Berks counties thought this interaction was of such significance that they put together a task force including the district attorney's offices in Montgomery and Berks counties, the Drug Enforcement Agency, The Department of Homeland Security and local police departments.
Between January and August of 2013, the undercover detective and Montillo allegedly had multiple conversations regarding large quantity sales of methamphetamine and made other drug deals. They had discussions of how they were cooked and prepared. At the end of August they discussed making a large sale.
On Aug. 31, Montilla agreed to sell the undercover detective a pound and a half of crystal methamphetamine for $43,000. The detective met with Hector Hugo Cucuas, 30, of Douglassville, in the parking lot of Zern's Farmers market in Douglass (Mont.) Township. According to the district attorney's office, Cucas accepted partial payment for the 1.5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine. Eloy Solorio-Flores, 39, of Reading, and Alder Hernandez-Solorio, 34, of Santa Rose, Calif., were also at the transaction to keep watch.
Ferman pointed out that $43,000 is the wholesale price of the drug, but once on the street a pound of crystal methamphetamine can be sold for up to $120,000.
At the scene of the transaction, police recovered the crystal methamphetamine, a loaded handgun, and seven cellphones including cellphone records which linked Cucuas, Flores and Solorio to the transaction. All three were taken into custody by the Montgomery County District Attorney's Narcotics Enforcement Team.
Montilla and Juan Carlos Morales-Soria, 26, no known address, were later arrested by Berks County detectives. Alejandro Ruiz Cabrera was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police on Monday. According to court records, after their arrests, police were able to determine that Cucuas is familiar with the violent Mexican drug cartel La Familia Michoacán because the cartel required his family to pay a street tax based on the square footage of their home in Mexico. Montilla had been illegally living in the United States and says he is from Michoacán. In 1997 he was detained and taken back to Mexico. Sometime after that he came back to the United States illegally. Morales-Soria was deported back to Mexico in 2004 and according to court papers, has since been living in the U.S. illegally. Flores, originally from Timbiriche, is a legal resident of the U.S.
"They are looking to create that market for this poison in our community," Adams said. "We know once they come in, it will be very near impossible to get rid of them.
"We have seen this growing trend with meth in our county and it's disturbing and we need to stop it as soon as possible."
Ferman said that although the dealers' operation took place in Berks and Montgomery counties, she believes the drugs were made in Mexico and later smuggled into the country.
"You're dealing with individuals with direct ties to Mexico. The drugs are somehow brought into the country by means we are not aware of," Ferman said.
All six defendants were arraigned Tuesday at District Justice Maurice Saylor in Gilbertsville. Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Kelly Lloyd will be prosecuting the case. Each of the defendants faces multiple charges on drug, weapons and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

Submission + - Survey finds 97% climate science papers agree warming is man-made | Dana Nuccite (guardian.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes: A meta-study published yesterday looked at over 12,000 peer-reviewed papers on climate science that appeared in journals between 1991 and 2011. The papers were evaluated and categorized by how they implicitly or explicitly endorsed humans as a contributing cause of global warming. The meta-study found that an overwhelming 97.1% of the papers that took a stance endorsed human-cause global warming. They also asked the 1,200 of the scientists involved in the research to self-evaluate their own studies, with nearly identical results. In the interest of transparency, the meta-study results were published in an open access journal, and the researchers set up a website so that anybody can check their results. From the article: '... a memo from communications strategist Frank Luntz leaked in 2002 advised Republicans, "Should the public come to believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue in the debate" This campaign has been successful. A 2012 poll from U.S. Pew Research Center found less than half of Americans thought scientists agreed humans were causing global warming. The media has assisted in this public misconception, with most climate stories "balanced" with a "skeptic" perspective. However, this results in making the 2–3% seem like 50%. In trying to achieve "balance," the media has actually created a very unbalanced perception of reality. As a result, people believe scientists are still split about what's causing global warming, and therefore there is not nearly enough public support or motivation to solve the problem.'

The environmental agency that polices the North American Free Trade Agreement
Tuesday said that it intends to investigate the United States government
for failing to enforce the federal Clean Water Act against coal-fired
power plants with respect to mercury discharges to air and water.
The Secretariat of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC)
of North America issued a notification recommending to the CEC Council
that a factual record be developed for a submission by U.S. and Canadian
environmental groups that claims the U.S. government is allowing these
power plants to emit mercury in violation of the Clean Water Act.
The Secretariat will prepare a factual record in connection with the
submission if the Council, by a two-thirds vote, instructs it to do so.
The Council, the CEC's governing body, is composed of the top environment
officials of Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The submission was filed with the CEC Secretariat on September 20, 2004
by the Sierra Legal Defence Fund and Waterkeeper Alliance, on behalf of
Friends of the Earth Canada, Friends of the Earth-US, Earthroots, Centre
for Environmentally Sustainable Development, Great Lakes United, Pollution
Probe, Waterkeeper Alliance, and the Sierra Club.
"Under President [George W.] Bush, the EPA has become simply a taxpayer
funded industry lobbyist group, working hard every day to strip environmental
protections from the American people," said Scott Edwards, legal director
of Waterkeeper Alliance.
The submitters claim that emissions from power plants in 10 states -
Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia - represent almost 60 percent of
U.S. mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants and that the alleged
failure to enforce the Clean Water Act in those 10 states is "reflective
of the broader problem in the U.S."
In its response, filed on April 25, 2005, the United States government
contends that the relevant facts and law do not support a conclusion that
it is failing to effectively enforce its environmental legislation. Government
attorneys argued that pending domestic judicial proceedings preclude further
Secretariat review of this matter.
After reviewing the submission in light of the United States' response,
the Secretariat notified the Council that it considers the submission
to warrant the development of a factual record.
The Secretariat determined that the submission raises central questions
that the response leaves open regarding the United States' enforcement
of the Clean Water Act in connection with discharges of mercury from coal-fired
power plants to air and water.
The notification states that a factual record is warranted to develop
and present information regarding the submitters' assertions that the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is failing to effectively enforce
the Clean Water Act in the 10 highlighted states by issuing or renewing
NPDES permits - or allowing states to issue or renew such permits - that
allow for point source discharges of mercury that cause or contribute
to non-attainment of water quality standards for mercury in the receiving

Local malls, Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack and Bristol Mountain are among the area businesses that are closed this afternoon due to blizzard conditions.
Today's severe winter weather warning has forced many area businesses to close their doors.
A blizzard warning issued by The National Weather Service called for heavy snowfall, strong winds and poor visibility. The weather advisory will remain in effect until 5 a.m. Thursday.
All three major shopping malls in the area, Eastview, Henrietta and Marketplace, closed all stores at noon today.
Wendy Roche, the marketing director for Eastview Mall in Victor said Wilmorite Properties, which owns the malls, makes a uniform decision for all three locations. All three malls will reopen at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
"The general manager monitors the weather conditions and what the forecast is, and if a state of emergency is issued," Roche said. "The safety of employees is a top concern. If customers are not coming here we don't want employees coming in."
Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack in Farmington also closed at noon today and will reopen at 8 a.m.
Even a local business that revolves around snowfall will be closing today. Bristol Mountain Ski Resort will close at 3 p.m. due to poor road conditions. The mountain will be open tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Other area businesses chose to continue operations despite the storm. All Wegmans locations will remain open today, although many are working with a limited number of employees.
"We provide an essential service and we recognize that," Wegmans spokesperson Joe Natale said. "We provide food and drugs and people rely on us for that. The stores do not close and will not close due to weather."
Natale said many Wegmans stores are operating with a "skeleton staff" and management puts a lot of effort into ensuring the safety of employees. For example, if an employee travels farther to work than other employees, they may not have to come in to work. Also, she said, the store can make arrangements for employees who commute longer distances to stay at a hotel near the store.
Area Wegmans stores were extremely busy yesterday as residents prepared for today's blizzard. The stores were also busy early this morning, Natale said, but business has died off significantly as the weather continues to worsen.
"We had adjusted our orders in anticipation of being very busy yesterday and that played out as expected," Natale said. "By the end of the day, naturally, some stores did begin to run out of some items people always stock up on before the storm. All stores replenished overnight and are fully stocked tonight."
Natale said those items that ran low yesterday were the expected essentials including bread, milk, eggs and batteries.
While many businesses remain open on Main Street Canandaigua, an employee at Mac's Philly Steaks told Messenger Post she hasn't seen many cars on the road.
"Main Street looks like a ghost town," Mac's employee Lindsay Mantz said.
Business, however, remains steady at the restaurant. The bank next door, which remained open this afternoon, brings a lot of people in to the shop, Mantz said. Most of their business today, she said, was from customers who walked to the restaurant.
Ontario County Sheriff's Office has issued a travel advisory for all Ontario County roads and highways until 10 p.m. Wednesday, recommending no unnecessary travel.

The water and electric lines are in and the final paver stones are being laid on Ashland's Calle Guanajuato, which has been closed since last fall for a major renovation.
Project organizers say the popular scenic walkway behind Plaza shops and along Ashland Creek will be ready for outdoor restaurant seating and the Lithia Artisans Market during the May 2-3 weekend.
The new concrete pavers blend grays with light pinks in a herringbone pattern and create a meandering, 8-foot-wide walkway that matches the contour of Ashland Creek, said Rachel Dials, recreation supervisor for the Ashland Parks and Recreation Department.
A grand opening celebration will be held in May, with restaurants and craft people invited to present special food and attractions. Elected officials will give speeches.
There will be a "substantial completion" meeting with the contractor, Kogap, the day before.
The market and outdoor seating normally start April 1, but the project was delayed by weather and unexpected encounters with old building foundations, Dials said.
Archaeological work on the site was finished by November 2013, with many Indian flakes and artifacts found, along with bits of pioneer refuse. The site was a pioneer midden, or dump, in early years.
The paver project was started because of unsafe surfaces and multiple pedestrian mishaps on the walkway, said Dials. Since it was already being torn up, the water and electric departments took the opportunity to replace aging wires and pipes.
The parks department spent $286,600. Water lines cost $75,800 and electrical ran to $25,300, she said.

Calle nears completion
The water and electric lines are in and the final paver stones are being laid on Ashland's Calle Guanajuato, which has been closed since last fall for a major renovation.

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Shoulder Work At 'Copper Cliff' - sols 3159-3165, Dec. 12, 2012-Dec. 18, 2012:
Opportunity is working at "Matijevic Hill" (named in honor of Jake Matijevic) at the inboard edge of "Cape York" on the rim of Endeavour Crater. There, the rover has been conducting in-situ (contact) science measurements at a location called "Copper Cliff."
On Sol 3160 (Dec. 13, 2012), Opportunity began taking images with its Microscopic Imager (MI) for a mosaic of a surface target. Partway through the activity, the rover's robotic arm experienced a stall in the shoulder azimuth joint. This has been seen a few times before when the arm is commanded to move at a slow rate, but not the slowest rate. Magnetic detents normally hold the motor armature when unpowered, and under certain slow-rate conditions they are able to restrain the armature from spinning. At higher rates, the armature has enough momentum to keep spinning, while at the slowest rates a higher stall threshold is used. Activities on Sol 3162 (Dec. 15, 2012) confirmed the joint is OK, and an offset placement of the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) was completed.
On Sol 3165 (Dec. 18, 2012), Opportunity bumped about 18 feet (5.5 meters) to the west to reach a new set of surface targets in this Copper Cliff area. The rover will likely continue in-situ investigations in the area through the coming holiday.
As of Sol 3165, the solar array energy production was 533 watt-hours with an increased atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.955 and a solar array dust factor of 0.607.
Total odometry is 22.02 miles (35438.37 meters).

SWARM STOPPERS: Rain may bring swarm of mosquitoes; Wagner provides prevention methods
COLUMBIA CITY — Recent heavy rains have primed Whitley County to be a possible breeding ground for mosquitoes.Scott Wagner, Whitley County's environmental health specialist, said as the temperatures rise, standing water will become attractive pools for mosquitoes to hatch."Typically the mosquitoes that bite and transmit the West Nile virus start moving when the temperatures get above 65 degrees," Wagner said. "Although we haven't had those kind of temperatures yet, we will be getting warmer and it's time for people to start thinking about mosquitoes."Moving water, such as streams, deter breeding activity, but Wagner said it is the small puddles and rain water collected in artificial containers that becomes the concern."With all the rain, it is easy for these pockets of standing water to accumulate," Wagner said. "Now is the time to be thinking about getting rid of that standing water and preventing mosquitoes breeding there."Purdue University Professor Emeritus of Entomology Ralph Williams told an area newspaper that bad mosquito seasons are not new to Indiana, but even with the large amount of rain received, there is nothing to "panic about yet."To read the rest of this story, see the April 27-28 issue of The Post and Mail.

WASHINGTON — They may not agree on much else, but there's a change to Medicare that President Obama and Republicans both support: Expand a little-known law so more retirees that the government considers well-off are required to pay higher monthly premiums.
It's on the short list in the budget talks, raising $20 billion or more over 10 years.
That could come as a shock to many seniors who would have to pay the higher premiums and consider themselves comfortably middle class, yet by no means wealthy.
It happened to Tom James. He and his wife recently got an official notice that they will have to start paying more for Medicare next year, about $1,000 for the two of them.
James is among some 2 million beneficiaries currently facing higher ''income-related'' premiums for outpatient care, or Medicare Part B. If the budget proposal goes through, that number would grow over time to 20 million.
''I was blindsided,'' said James, a retired bank examiner who lives near Philadelphia. ''The camel has got his nose in the tent now, and the question is how far do they want to go with that?''
Income-based premiums were introduced for outpatient care under President George W. Bush and later expanded to the prescription benefit, or Medicare Part D, by Obama's health care law.
How would it work?
First, the current income-based premiums would be ratcheted up. Those surcharges are assessed on a sliding scale, and kick in for individual beneficiaries making more than $85,000, or $170,000 for couples.
Second, the number of beneficiaries who have to pay higher monthly premiums would be gradually expanded by a few hundred thousand people each year. That would be done by extending a temporary freeze on the income thresholds at which the higher premiums are assessed.
Without adjusting the thresholds for inflation, the share of beneficiaries on the hook for higher premiums would keep growing from 5 percent currently until it reached 25 percent, or 1 in 4 people with Medicare.
Backers of the idea — Obama administration officials, prominent Republicans in the House and Senate, and nonpartisan specialists — say it's foolish for Medicare to keep subsidizing people who can pay their own way, particularly when the program faces long-range financial problems.
Medicare serves about 50 million Americans, including seniors and disabled people. Half have annual incomes below $22,500.
Polls show that Americans clearly prefer raising premiums on wealthy beneficiaries as opposed to a general increase. However, few people are aware that the government is already collecting higher premiums from some beneficiaries. Very few know the details. ''I think wealth is in the eye of the beholder,'' said Tricia Neuman, a Medicare expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. ''This premium affects people with incomes starting at $85,000, but in the discussion over taxes $85,000 is not generally considered high income.''

Lunch truck driver charged with drunk driving in Stamford
Published 11:21 pm, Thursday, February 28, 2013
Staff Report
STAMFORD -- A pistol-packing food-truck driver was charged with driving under the influence after he allegedly sideswiped a car Tuesday morning and had trouble standing and holding on to his money when he pulled into a construction site, police said.
Douglas Voytrshark, 54, of 471 Rutland Road, Milford, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and driving while under the influence.
Police were called by a woman parked on Stillwater Avenue Tuesday just before 9:25 a.m. The woman had parked her red Toyota Rav 4 outside the Stamford Market where she was picking up her mother. When she came out five minutes later, the entire side of her car had been sideswiped by a passing vehicle, Sgt. Richard Barbagallo said.
At the scene, police spoke to a witness who said he heard a crash from his second-floor apartment and saw a lunch truck driving off.
While police were talking to the witness, a call came in to 911 dispatch reporting that an inebriated lunch truck driver had just pulled into a construction site at the corner of Spruce Street and Finney Lane.
When police got there they found Voytrshark wobbling on his feet and told him to sit on the bumper of his Piece of Cake food truck while they investigated the scene.
A worker at the construction site told police that Voytrshark wheeled his truck on to the property and proceeded to dig his front bumper into a pile of construction gravel. Voytrshark was having trouble standing and kept dropping his money to the ground as he made change for customers, Barbagallo said.
When police spoke to him, he was slurring his words and was unable to utter a coherent sentence, Barbagallo said.
Police looked inside the truck where they found Voytrshark's fanny pack, which contained a loaded .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol and medications.
Beer cans were found strewn around the cab of the truck, Barbagallo said.

2005-06 Women's Basketball
Rose-Hulman 81, Bluffton 56
Rose-Hulman remains perfect in HCAC with 81-56 win over Beavers
By: Chase Cupples, sports information assistant
December 9, 2006
TERRA HAUTE, Ind. - Poor shooting by the Bluffton University women's basketball team and the play of Engineers' standouts Rebekah Forsyth and Suzy Carlson kept the Beavers winless at Rose-Hulman on Saturday, December 9, 2006, as the Engineers took control in the second half for an 81-56 victory. Bluffton stands at 0-8, 0-3 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose improves to 8-1 overall with a spotless 4-0 mark in the HCAC.
Lindsay Bush (Howard/East Knox) scored the first points of the game on the Beavers' first possession. Katie Tharp answered with a layup on an assist from Suzy Carlson. The Engineers missed twice on their ensuing possession but they got both rebounds and found Carlson for the open trifecta.
A pair of foul shots by Angie Lee (Mt. Blanchard/Vanlue) and Vicki Auer (Cincinnati/ Roger Bacon) gave the Beavers a three-point lead, 10-7, six minutes into the game.
The Engineers then went on a six-point run with a jumper by Katie Tharp followed by two foul shots and a basket by Suzy Carlson.
A three-pointer by Angie Lee tied the game at 13 with 11:46 to play in the first half.
The Engineers responded with a 12-0 run which included six foul shots and three baskets.
Tanya Rickenberg (Paulding/Paulding) knocked down a triple and a layup and Amanda Bell (Napoleon/Liberty Center) freed herself in the paint, making the score 30-24 in favor of the Engineers at the 3:07 mark.
Bluffton went scoreless during the last three minutes of the opening stanza as Rose took a 34-24 lead into halftime.
The Engineers used tremendous foul shooting to their advantage by making 15-of-16 in the first half for an impressive 94 percent.
Much like the first half, Lindsay Bush scored first on a jumper. Two minutes later, she found the hoop thanks to a Tanya Rickenberg assist. Angie Lee and Vicki Auer both got the three-ball to fall, making the score 52-43 midway through the second half.
Carlson and Forsyth went to work late in the game, leading the Engineers on a 29-13 spurt over the game's final nine minutes to help Rose-Hulman secure an 81-56 victory over the Beavers while improving to 8-1 and 4-0 in the HCAC.
Bluffton was led by Tanya Rickenburg with 14 points, three steals, and three assists. Rickenberg is currently third all-time at Bluffton with 1,027 career points and she trails Paula Slaughter by only 32 for second place. Freshman Vicki Auer also hit double figures, knocking down a career-high 13 points on 2-of-3 shooting from three-point range and 7-of-11 from the free throw line. Angie Lee also made two triples, adding 10 points. Amanda Bell picked up three steals.
The Beavers return to action when they travel to Case Western Reverse on Saturday, December 16, 2006. The contest is scheduled to tip-off at 3 p.m.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale junior varsity football team beat Milford Academy 45-32 Sunday afternoon at Clint Frank Field.
Milford Academy got the only points of the first quarter, scoring on a nine-yard touchdown run but failing on the two-point conversion attempt.
Yale took the lead at 8:57 of the second quarter on a 44-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Eric Williams to freshman tight end Leo Haenni. Junior placekicker Parker Toms' extra point put the Bulldogs ahead 7-6.
On the ensuing kickoff sophomore tight end Austin Carter caused a fumble, and Haenni returned it 16 yards for another touchdown. That put Yale ahead 14-6.
An eight-yard touchdown run by junior tailback Everett Johnson with 1:19 remaining in the first half made it 21-6. A 68-yard pass helped set up a three-yard touchdown run for Milford Academy with 42 seconds remaining, and after another failed conversion Yale held a 21-12 lead. The Bulldogs got a 39-yard field goal from Toms with one second remaining to go into halftime up 24-12.
Milford Academy drove to the Yale one-yard line on its first drive of the third quarter, but a fumble there was recovered by sophomore cornerback Keith Hawk, who had an open field in front of him and took off 99 yards for a touchdown. Yale led 31-12.
Milford Academy responded with a 99-yard play of its own, taking the kickoff back for a touchdown with 8:45 left in the third. The conversion failed again, leaving Yale's lead at 31-18.
The Falcons scored again on a 31-yard touchdown pass, getting a two-point conversion on a pitch to close within 31-26 with 7:31 remaining in the third.
That was as close as Milford Academy would get for the rest of the game. Sophomore defensive back Roger Kilgore III returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown late in the third to make the score 38-26 Yale. A two-yard touchdown run by junior tailback L.J. Hunt with 6:12 to play gave Yale a 45-26 lead. The big play of the drive was a 30-yard run by Johnson that got the ball to the Milford 10.
Milford Academy scored a late touchdown on a 20-yard pass with 1:51 remaining, and after another failed conversion the score ended up at 45-32.

Every once in awhile, it's fun to find a new piece of Boulder's past.
I've long been familiar with Settlers Park, where I had focused on the gold prospectors thought to have camped in the shadow of Boulder's own "Red Rocks," in 1858. I recently returned to the park with an interest in Boulder's early water supply.
During my latest trek, I stumbled across the site of the city's first reservoir. It started with some library research, followed by a hike on the city-owned property.
In February 1859, when the early prospectors founded the Boulder City Town Company, they drew all their water from Boulder Creek. Within a few months, those who decided to remain in the frontier town began digging irrigation ditches and forming ditch companies.
Getting water to the residents took time. Farmers Ditch flowed out of Boulder Canyon and crossed Mapleton Hill. The ditch was completed in 1862, but a decade passed before three of Boulder's leading businessmen laid wooden pipes to carry water from the ditch to the town's main streets. Pipes then led into the houses of owners who had requested the service.
For a more dependable water supply, Boulder residents voted overwhelmingly in 1874 to build a publicly funded storage pool, known as the Town of Boulder Reservoir. Completed a year later, it was 160 feet higher in elevation than downtown Boulder and was filled by the newly dug Town of Boulder Ditch.
From the reservoir, water flowed downhill through an 8-inch-long, curved, cast-iron pipe to 12th Street (now Broadway), where it connected to water mains, as well as to fire hydrants on city streets.
"Boulder can already claim to have better water works than any city in the Territory," the Colorado Banner wrote in 1875, a year before Colorado became a state. "The pressure is enough to throw it over any house that ever will be built in Boulder."
At the time, water rates cost homeowners $10 a year for a house with five rooms or fewer. Each additional room added an extra dollar to the bill.
I knew from newspaper articles that, by 1878, Boulder's water mains had been extended throughout most of the downtown area. And, as the city outgrew its first reservoir, it constructed a second one near the mouth of Sunshine Canyon. However, I still was curious as to the site of the first reservoir.
Maps drawn within the next few decades showed the reservoir's location near the towering Red Rocks. But where was there a level space? My crude overlay of a historic map on a modern-day topographical map showed the only possible spot, which was a short walk up what's called the Anemone Trail.
The trailhead to the park (and to the trail) is at the west end of Pearl Street at its junction with Canyon Boulevard. After I crossed Farmers Ditch and bore to the left, I went up a gradual incline. Then the reservoir site (now filled in and behind a small earthen berm) opened up in front of me. It is as flat as a football field, but not as big.
The history mystery was solved.
