CHELTENHAM — Three is greater than two. It's not just a first grade math problem but the story of a first round state playoff matchup between Upper Dublin and Archbishop Carroll. The three-point shooting of Carroll would allow them to create distance from Upper Dublin and win the game 54-43 and advance to the next round.
The teams came out of halftime with Carroll clinging to a slim two-point lead. The beginning of the third quarter featured a span where the Patriots hit a three following a Cardinal deuce on three out of four ensuing baskets.
"Early in the second half they came out of the locker room on fire shooting the ball and we were doing a good job executing getting lay ups, we were getting twos, they were getting threes," Upper Dublin coach Morgan Funsten said.
The three balls were not just falling for Carroll solely in the third quarter. The Patriots scattered nine three-pointers throughout the entire game. The sharp shooter of the night was freshman Jess Carney, whose 12 points all came from three-pointers.
"They have four girls on the court who can knock down the three at all times," Funsten said. "It's tough when you're going against two Division I players and then they have a lights-out shooter in Carney, who's going to make you pay if you pay too much attention to the two stars."
The star of the game was Upper Dublin's Regan Gallagher, who dropped a game high 21 points and added 11 rebounds.
"I really wanted to win, but it was all team work. I couldn't have scored without (my teammates') passes or without everyone else," Gallagher said.
"She is the perfect player. She listens to every word (I) say and does exactly what (I) ask her to do," Funsten said.
Both Funsten and Gallagher, a transfer from Mount St. Joseph, were new additions to the Cardinal team this season and used the commonality to thrive off of each other.
"It was nice to have somebody else (new to the program). I was new, she was new and I think it helped her in terms of she was not the only new one and I think it helped me in terms of I wasn't the only new one," Funsten said.
"He's awesome, we're really close. He's really easy to talk to, he knows what he's doing (and) I'm really looking forward to having him next year," Gallagher said.
Upper Dublin's season ends with an exit in the first round of the state tournament but Funsten realizes the special team he got to be a part of in his first season as the Cardinals head coach.
"I'm not naive to think that every year I'm going to get a team like this," Funsten said. "My message to them was to tell them how proud I am and I thanked them for making me feel so welcomed."
Upper Dublin: Goff 4 0-0 8; Spector 2 0-0 5; Gallagher 10 1-1 21; Rothfeld 3 0-0 9; McAneney 0 0-2 0; Linus 0 0-0 0; Senior 0 0-0 0; totals 19 1-3 43
Archbishop Carroll: Gantz 1 3-4 5; Curran 6 2-2 16; Costantino 2 4-6 8; DeRogatis 1 1-4 3; Carney 4 0-0 12; Stover 3 1-2 10; Johnson 0 0-0 0; Filippelli 0 0-0 0; totals 17 11-18 54
Three- point goals: Stover 3, Carney 4, Curran 2, Spector, Rothfeld 3
Upper Dublin 9 11 11 12-43
Archbishop Carroll 15 7 15 17-54


text: The Washington Demon boys started slow but got things going in the second half to beat Keokuk in the opening round of the post season last night. The Chiefs led early 7-2 but the Demons had it tied at 11 going into the second and went in at halftime up 23-17. The Cheifs would come out in the third and recapture the lead but there was a swing where Isaac Gardner hit a three, got a slam dunk after a Demon steal, then a violation on the inbound gave the Demons back the ball and he hit another three. An Alex Vogel buzzer beater three to end the third quarter sent the Demons into the final frame up 46-40 and the Demons 19 points in the fourth and won 65-57. In the game Isaac Gardner scored 20 points hitting four threes and scored his 1,000th career point becoming the fourth Demon to do so and Smeins says it looks like he did so in a shorter time frame only playing three years. Nic Williams had a big night in the post with 19, and Alex Vogel who has the career assist record had 13 points with two threes and went 10-10 at the free throw line. The Demons are now 16-6 and they face Mount Pleasant on Thursday in Burlington. Mount Pleasant beat Fort Madison 61-33. That game started a little slow too, with Mount Pleasant only up 20-14 at halftime.

Lame duck session
The Democrats took a pounding in the US mid-term elections. Before the new Republican majority takes power in January, there will be a final 'lame duck' session of the Democratic majority Congress. The Democrats will try use their majority to push through favored legislation. One of the issues they'll be dealing with is the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy concerning gays in the military.

Harper Kamp said the Bears are ready to put Sunday's
60-57 70-57 loss at Colorado behind them and focus solely on their regular-season finale at Stanford.
But first . . .
"Everyone is really disappointed," the senior forward said of Sunday's loss that knocked the Bears out of a first-place tie. "I think I'm mostly disappointed in my own leadership in that game. I don't feel like I led the team the way it needed to be. Whether it was saying enough or just leading by example, we played really too soft. We weren't the team we normally are.
"It comes down to leadership when that kind of thing happens. It's my fault . . . it's me and Jorge (Gutierrez) as the seniors. We've got to make sure that doesn't happen."
Specifically, Kamp said the Bears were subpar defensively.
"That's the most important part. That's not acceptable," he said. "There's going to be times when shots aren't falling. You're going to miss things, they're going to make you take tough shots. But there's no excuse for letting them blow by you in transition and letting them get by you the whole game and get layups.
"I was pretty excited about the game and I was expecting more from myself and my teammates. We didn't play together like we should. And we didn't play hard enough."
Kamp said he didn't talk with Gutierrez about his first scoreless game in more than two seasons.
"Neither one of us really cares about that," Kamp said. "We were just disappointed we played the way we did and we lost the game in that fashion."
Sophomore Allen Crabbe said the Bears had a great practice Tuesday and anticipated the Bears will prepare with renewed vigor this week.
"We need to have a good week of practice and work on the things we didn't do so well at Colorado, which was our defense," Crabbe said. "We didn't have enough energy, we didn't play together as a team, help each other on defense. Colorado was just ready for that game."
The Bears may not know until Saturday, when first-place Washington visits UCLA, whether they still have a shot at stealing a piece of the Pac-12 title. Kamp said he believes Cal's practice is scheduled during the 11 a.m. time slot of the UW-UCLA game.
"Maybe coach did that on purpose," he said. "Not watching the game maybe will be best. Just focus on our game. That'll probably be the key in preparing ourselves."
Crabbe agreed.
"We're better off having practice, (to) focus on what we need to do. If we come in second, we come in second," Crabbe said. "We had an opportunity and we slipped up. We really can't blame anybody else but ourselves for not going out Sunday and playing hard. They outplayed us. We got what we deserved."

Experiencing the best of Portugal, we start in Lisbon, a ramshackle mix of glorious old and fun-loving new. Salty sailors' quarters and wistful Fado singers mix with ornate architecture to recall the glory days when Vasco da Gama and Magellan made Portugal a world power. Then we head for the south coast of your travel dreams-the Algarve. We explore the Land's End of Europe-windy and historic Cape Sagres before savoring pristine beaches and arm-wrestling octopi in the sleepy fishing village of Salema.

What a shame that...
people are viewing this (Jews and non-Jews). It gives them another reason to look negatively at our religion; plus it diminishes the actual holiness that is integral in each of the holidays that G-d has blessed us with. I don't like to criticize. I like a good laugh (I am a humor writer), but this is mockery.
(4) Phil, May 28, 2014 5:24 AM
Reminded of similar joke
(2) Baruch, May 27, 2014 2:47 PM
Ha ha?
"Humor" comes from the same Latin root as "Humility" and "Humidity". Humor, like rain and dew, can enhance and enrich wisdom. Humor, like humility, offers perspective, a step back to allow us to see what's ridiculous and absurd, to laugh at ourselves and the frailties of the small and the mighty. Like any "Mida", it can be abused, too. Abusive humor can drown the profound and arrogantly cheapen the greatest parts of life. Some of these Jewlarious clips accomplish the former, though this one seems to me to be more of the latter. I felt that the satire here conveys that the miracle of Channuka is a silly, improbable story. Further, Jews overdo it with their frequent happy holidays and the amount of time they ask to take off for holidays that lack substance. But maybe I am reading into it too much. I am usually a good sport and laugh wherever I can, which I did do here. Notwithstanding, it was an instinctively uncomfortable laugh, which is why I bothered to think this out. Anyone else see this?

Krejci banged up by glass
Center expected to play Game 2
One moment, David Krejci was upright on the TD Garden ice, celebrating Chris Kelly's overtime goal in Thursday's 1-0 Game 1 win over the Capitals. Seconds later, after a loose pane of glass flattened him from behind, Krejci was lying on his stomach.
Krejci likely will be in the lineup for Game 2 Saturday afternoon at the Garden, but his neck was sore enough to keep him off the ice for Friday's practice at the Garden. Coach Claude Julien decided to nix Krejci's practice after consulting with team trainers.
"He's scheduled to play [Saturday],'' Julien said. "It's really not that big of an issue, even though it seems to be right now. He's fine.''
Krejci's condition could have been worse. He was facing the Washington net when a 121-pound acrylic sheet, 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide, was jarred loose by celebrating fans. The pane fell forward, struck Krejci in the neck and shoulder area, and knocked him to the ice.
"It was a fluke accident,'' Julien added. "It's unfortunate. In a way, we're kind of fortunate it wasn't worse than what it is. With the weight of that glass, it could have been a lot worse. It could have been a lot more damaging. But he's fine. We probably dodged a bullet there.''
As Tim Thomas and Brad Marchand approached to check on their teammate, Krejci got to his feet and skated off the ice.
"I looked at what happened. I didn't expect that to happen,'' Krejci said. "I got up and skated away.''
Krejci also needed stitches to close a wound under his nose. At 18:27 of the first period, Jay Beagle opened a gash by high-sticking Krejci.
Rich Peverley, who had been the right wing on the first line in Game 1, replaced Krejci at center during practice. Jordan Caron assumed Peverley's position. Caron was a healthy scratch for Game 1. He had been the extra forward on the fourth line during practice prior to Game 1.
The first line didn't create much offensive pressure in Game 1 during five-on-five play. Krejci had zero shots in 20 minutes 19 seconds of ice time. Milan Lucic landed just one shot in 18:33 of action. Two of Peverley's four shots came on the power play.
But the Bruins can't afford to lose their most offensive-minded center. They are already without first-line right wing Nathan Horton (concussion). On Friday, they practiced without two-thirds of the No. 1 line that started off the regular season.
In Game 1, the Bruins managed only one goal against Braden Holtby. The Washington rookie turned back 29 shots, including 17 in the second period.
Holtby was at his best in the first 40 minutes, when he should have been his most nervous. With each save, Holtby looked more confident. On Kelly's winning goal, defenseman Dennis Wideman appeared to get a piece of the center's shot.
As sharp as Holtby was in his NHL playoff debut, the 22-year-old could count on his teammates. The Capitals hammered the Bruins on the forecheck. In the neutral zone, Washington gummed up passing lanes. In their zone, the Capitals got in front of shots and blocked as much rubber as they could.
"That team, you can see they're committed to defense,'' Brian Rolston said. "They did a really good job in the neutral zone. Their D were standing up on us. We really couldn't make plays through the neutral zone.''
The Bruins attempted 62 shots. Only 30 were on target. They missed the net on 10 attempts. The Capitals blocked 22 shots. Roman Hamrlik led the charge with five blocks. Troy Brouwer was credited with four blocked shots.
"They are very good,'' Benoit Pouliot said of Washington's shot-blocking abilities. "It's one of their main things. I thought they did a great job. They had a lot of blocked shots. It's a matter of getting the puck through. It's not easy. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. Worst comes to worst, we have to put it off the boards back there. The forwards will get it. It's something we'll have to work on.''
During the regular season, the Capitals blocked 640 shots, sixth-most in the league. Blocks can be a deceiving stat. Six of the top 10 shot-blocking teams missed the playoffs, indicating they spent too much time without the puck in their zone.
The Bruins were satisfied with the quality of their scoring chances. But with some tweaks, they should free themselves up for better looks on Holtby.
"The one thing they did well, to their credit, is that they did a lot of shot blocking,'' Julien said. "More than I've seen them do in the past. But that's playoff hockey, right? You've seen guys get out of their comfort zone and do things they don't always do during the regular season. I thought they did a great job of that. We've played teams that enjoy blocking shots. We've just got to make sure we're capable of getting those shots through and finding those open lanes so we can make it to the net.''

ATLANTA — Cam Newton threw two touchdown passes, Greg Hardy had a team- record four sacks and the Carolina Panthers clinched the NFC South title by beating the Atlanta Falcons 21-20 on Sunday.
The Panthers (12-4) clinched a first-round bye and home-field advantage for at least one game as the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Seattle beat St. Louis 27-9, meaning Carolina will only get home field advantage in the divisional round.
Carolina set a team record by sacking Matt Ryan nine times. The defense also produced a touchdown on Melvin White's 7-yard interception return in the second quarter.
Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez had four catches for 56 yards and was honored at halftime in his final regular-season game. He has announced plans for retirement.

Michael B. Nifong, the Durham district attorney, made the decision after learning on Thursday that the woman who complained of rape could not be sure that she had been penetrated with a penis, a distinction that would determine whether what happened to her meets the legal definition of forcible rape in North Carolina, according to court papers filed today.But kidnapping and sexual assault charges remain.
When she was interviewed on Thursday by an investigator from the district attorney's office, the woman said she was penetrated from behind while she was bent over with her face toward the floor, but did not know with what, according to a person close to the investigation who would only speak on condition of anonymity.
A week ago, a laboratory director admitted in court that in the wake of an agreement with Mr. Nifong, he had violated his own procedures and withheld results showing that none of the lacrosse players' DNA had been found on or in the accuser's body.That does look terribly suspicious.
"This comes a week after it was shown they intentionally withheld exculpatory evidence on DNA tests," [defense lawyer Joseph B.] Chesire said. "That begs the question of the extreme coincidence of the timing in which these two things occurred."

FULLERTON, Calif. – The four-time national champion Cal State Fullerton baseball program has been selected to represent the United States at the 2015 World University games from July 3-14 in Gwangju City, South Korea.
The World University Games is the American term for "Universiade," an international multi-sport event organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). The Universiade, which began in 1959, is an international sporting and cultural festival, staged every two years in a different city around the world, representing both winter and summer competitions.
"I want to express my sincere gratitude to President García and Director of Athletics Jim Donovan for their support and diligence in securing this amazing opportunity for the Cal State Fullerton baseball program," third-year head coach Rick Vanderhook said. "I am thrilled that our student-athletes will have the honor of representing the U.S. at the 2015 World University Games. I am also very excited for the educational experience this event will provide for our players on and off the field."
USA Baseball had the first opportunity to field an All-Star team, but declined, leaving BTI Events to field a team from a university based on the organization's team selection criteria.
"From my perspective, a team of All-Stars was selected—it just happens to be composed entirely of outstanding Titans whose efforts in the classroom and on the field reflect our campus community's commitment to 'reach higher' in all that we do," University President Mildred García said. "I am proud of all those who had a hand in bringing this unique honor to fruition and look forward to our players representing not just Cal State Fullerton at the 2015 World University Games, but also the CSU, the state, and the nation."
BTI Events took over management of the World University Games in 2011, and this will be the first time that the sport of baseball will be represented since then. The host city must select the standard 12 sports, and then can add other sports to the games. Gwangju City chose to add baseball because of its popularity in South Korea as well as the country's historical success in the sport.
In January of 2014 at the NCAA Convention, Donovan met with Nels Hawkinson, Executive Director of BTI Events for the 2015 World University Games and Championships. Hawkinson informed Donovan that USA Baseball would not be selecting an All-Star team, and BTI Events would be looking for a university to represent the U.S.
Twelve top collegiate baseball teams in the U.S. were given the opportunity to express interest in representing the U.S. in the World University Games, and Cal State Fullerton stated written interest within the seven-day time period.
BTI Events issued Fullerton a 14-day exclusive window to sign an agreement to represent the U.S., and Cal State Fullerton was able to meet that deadline to ensure the team's participation.
Former Cal State Fullerton outfielder Ashley Van Boxmeer was one of 17 players that helped lead the Canadian Women's Softball Team to the gold medal at the 2007 World University Games in Bangkok, Thailand.
In addition, Cal State Fullerton Athletics Hall of Fame member Nancy Dunkle captured a silver medal for the U.S. women's basketball team in 1975, while former Fullerton women's basketball head coach Billie Moore served as an assistant coach to the U.S. team during 1973 World University Games. Former women's basketball player Brenda Martin competed for the U.S. in 1977.
Former Cal State Fullerton gymnasts Patti Mirtich, Susan Archer-Pennefather, Julie Goewey, Tami Elliott, Roni Barrios, Taunia Rogers, and Heidi Geier also competed.
In 2013, the Kansas State women's volleyball team participated in the World University Games along with the men's and women's tennis teams from USC, Cal women's water polo and UCLA men's water polo.
The 2015 Summer Games in Gwangju City, South Korea will have U.S. representation in up to 21 sports by 550 people which will be, by far, the largest American team in the history of U.S. participation in the Games. By contrast, the 2013 American team had 400 athletes and staff in Kazan, Russia.
The U.S.A. won a total of 40 medals at the 2013 Kazan Summer Games, finishing sixth in the world. Many now-famous athletes have represented the U.S.A. in previous WUG competitions prior to gaining stardom in the Olympics and professional sports. These include such elite athletes as Michael Johnson (Track), Charles Barkley and Larry Bird (Men's Basketball), Matt Biondi and Michael Phelps (Swimming), and Lisa Leslie (Women's Basketball).
The following 21 sports competitions are open for U.S. representation in South Korea:
Athletics/Track and Field
Football (Soccer)
Gymnastics (Artistic)
Sport Shooting
Table Tennis

Fr. James R. Blaney, OMI, 76,
Fr. James R. Blaney, OMI, 76, died on December 4, 2013 in Sitka, Alaska after a brief illness. At the time of his death he was serving as the pastor of St. Gregory Nazianzen Catholic Church in Sitka.
Fr. Blaney, a member of the missionary religious order of priests, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, was born on July 30, 1937 in South Boston, Mass. The son of John Blaney and Anna O'Sullivan Blaney, he grew up on the grounds of the maximum security state prison in Charlestown, Mass where his father was the Deputy Warden.
In 1965, he and his twin brother, Joe, were ordained together as priests at St. Bridget's Church in South Boston by then Cardinal Cushing of Boston. He celebrated his first Mass on May 23, 1965 then was assigned to work in parishes and hospitals and prison ministry in the midwest and the south.
In 1988, Fr. Blaney was assigned to the Diocese of Juneau where he first served as the pastor of St. John's-by-the-Sea parish in Klawock on Prince of Wales Island. During his tenure in Klawock, Fr. Blaney worked closely with Sr. Laeticia Lariviere, IHM. While serving there he oversaw the construction of a new parish church which incorporated into its designs elements of Alaska Native art and spirituality. While pastor in Klawock he was adopted into L'eeneidí , the Raven/Dog Salmon house of his adoptive mother, the late Clara Peratrovich. She gave him two Tlingit names, which translate as "Eagle at Dawn" and "White Top." He is survived by his adoptive father, Alva Peratrovich, and adoptive sister, Chickie James and adoptive brother Marvin George, of Klawock and Roberta George of Ketchikan.
After 12 years serving in Prince of Wales, his next assignment in 2000 was to serve as pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Haines and St. Therese Catholic Church in Skagway. In 2004 his assignment changed again and he became the resident pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Hoonah and served as the priest for the parish of Yakutat and the missions of Gustavus, Pelican, Kake, Tenakee, Elfin Cove and Excursion Inlet.
In 2006 he was assigned as pastor of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Petersburg and St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Wrangell. When Fr. Pat Casey came to serve in the diocese as pastor of St. Catherine's in 2007, Fr. Blaney continued to serve as pastor of the parish in Wrangell. He returned to Haines to pastor Sacred Heart Parish again and then was transferred in 2011 for his final assignment as a pastor in Sitka.
Preceding him in death was his father John A. Blaney, mother Anna Blaney, his twin brother, Fr. Joseph Blaney and his sister Claire Blaney. He is survived by his sister, Mary Blaney Johnson, living in Port Orchard, Wash.; brothers Paul Blaney of Massachusetts and John F. Blaney of New York; sister Margaret Quirk of Massachusetts; and nieces and nephews on both coasts.
The Most Reverend Edward Burns, Bishop of Juneau, presided in Sitka at a Funeral Mass at Centennial Hall on December 10.
Following the Mass of Christian Burial in Tewkesbury, Mass., Fr. Blaney will be buried next to his twin brother, Fr. Joe.
In lieu of flowers, the Blaney family requests that contributions be made to St. Gregory's Catholic Parish in Sitka.

This bull crap is stooping as low as it gets Now that everyone has a right to carry a gun, maybe we ought to bring back dueling…
Scott Brown Blasts Kathy Griffin for Calling Daughters Prostitutes
Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts lashed out at comedian Kathy Griffin for describing his two daughters as "prostitutes."
Griffin, host of Bravo's TV "My Life on the D List," made the comments on Bravo on July 13. When two CNN reporters showed her a photo of Brown with his daughters, Ayla and Arianna, Griffin let loose an explosive sound-bite.
"Scott Brown, who is a senator from Massachusetts and has two daughters that are prostitutes," Griffin said, according to Fox News. (Which I would ordinarily discount if it weren't for the video clearly from the segment in question. Wih Faux News' record of lying and using fake videos, there just isn't any way you can trust anything they present without checking first)
Brown did not the see the funny side.
On Friday, the Republican released a statement denouncing both Griffin and Bravo.
"People can call me any name they want, but families are off limits," he said. "I love my daughters Ayla and Arianna very much, and any parent would be proud to have them as children. Kathy Griffin and Bravo ought to be ashamed of themselves."
Brown has even found support from an unlikely source. Representative Barney Frank, a Democrat from Massachusetts, wrote a letter to Griffin saying her choice of words was "terrible."
"What you did was wholly unfair and inappropriate," Frank said, according to The Hill. ""I think it's possible to have fun, and even to poke fun at people in my businesses, without this kind of completely unfair attack."
For the record, Brown's daughters seem like some pretty sharp young ladies, one in Med School, and the other a reporter.
Sen. Vitter: Rachel Maddow Looked Like a Woman a 'Long Time Ago'
Senator David Vitter (R-LA), the conservative "family values" lawmaker, has a problem with women. His fondness for prostitutes is well documented, as well as his hypocrisy. And this past week, Vitter shamelessly pandered to his fringe base, by lending credence to the birther conspiracy that President Obama is an illegal alien. He was just getting started. On Friday, Vitter appeared on a right-wing talk radio station in Louisiana, wherein hemocked MSNBC host Rachel Maddow for not looking like a woman. This man is a U.S. Senator and he behaves like a buffoonish frat boy. After receiving criticism, Vitter apologized to Maddow.
Let's take a trip down hooker memory lane. Married and a father of four, Vitter was forced to admit to a "serious sin" of paying for hookers, when it was revealed that he was a frequent customer of the DC Madam. There were also allegations that Vitter frequented brothels in New Orleans, a scandal that plagued him during his campaign for the House.
And there is the more recent issue of Vitter's decision to keep an aide on his Capitol Hill staff to work on women's issues. The aide, Brent Furer was arrested in 2008 for menacing and stabbing his girlfriend, while he held her hostage, as he asked, "Do you want to die?" Vitter asked for Furer's resignation, only after the media uncovered his background. And Vitter later tried to parse words and deny that Furer worked on women's issues.
Have to admit one thing, Rachael was pretty cute in High School, and I don't think the short hair does much for her.

WELD COUNTY — A Colorado Department of Transportation spokesperson confirmed that a snowplow hit a teenager walking in Weld County on Sunday.
CDOT told 9News it happened on Highway 60 near Milliken, just west of Weld County Road 3.5.
The 16-year-old boy was awake and responding when he was taken to the hospital. He was in serious condition.

The year was 1973 — 40 years ago. What were we doing? OMG, we didn't know what that meant, nor did we know what type of impact BFF, LOL or SMY would have on texting because we didn't have cell phones. Gas was 40¢ a gallon, a dozen eggs were 45¢, hot dogs were a $1 and the average yearly income was $12,900 per year. Stranger than that, Hanes Mall did not exist. Best of all I was a teenager … wow, hard to believe.
The year was 1973 — 40 years ago. What were we doing? OMG, we didn't know what that meant, nor did we know what type of impact BFF, LOL or SMY would have on texting because we didn't have cell phones. Gas was 40¢ a gallon, a dozen eggs were 45¢, hot dogs were a $1 and the average yearly income was $12,900 per year. Stranger than that, Hanes Mall did not exist. Best of all I was a teenager … wow, hard to believe.
The other good thing (besides me being a teenager) about 1973 was the excitement in downtown Tyro with the opening of Stamey's Barbecue. Now please don't think that we hadn't had places to eat until then. We had the small café which used to be across from the current Stamey's location and beside the café was a fabric shop run by Mrs. Freeman. There was an eating establishment where West Davidson Hair Cutters is now, but for some reason not many folks ate there, never really knew why. Some of the local grocery store owners in Tyro such as Bruce Koontz and Rabb Walser would fix a bologna and cheese sandwich or a tomato sandwich and sell you a carton of milk for 50¢. But nothing brought excitement to Tyro 40 years ago like the opening of Stamey's Barbecue.
Stamey's served many purposes. They sold that original, delicious pit cooked barbecue that everyone loved and the famous Dragon Burger, but they also offered a place for folks to gather and discuss the events of the day. Stamey's has sponsored a variety of sporting teams over the past years which enabled our children to participate in a multitude of sports. Never was there a time when a team was turned away if there was a need.
Our community has lost some very special folks during the past 40 years and most can remember exactly where they sat and usually what they had to eat while visiting Stamey's. We miss their faces and the many stories they shared. We remember C.W. Long, Willie Hugh Mason, Floyd Shoaf, Doc Trollinger, Archie Davis, Jewell Peck, Canola Potts, Bill Simerson, Kirby Greene, John and Nancy Lyon, Chubby Trollinger, Ed Miller, Grady Miller, Hubert and Lucille Wilson, Charles Church and the many others that have left an impact on Tyro and the friends they left behind at Stamey's over the past 40 years. So thank you to Stamey's Barbecue: Dan, Nancy, Scoot, Matt, Joey Poole, Mary Jo Poole and the late Helen Stamey for 40 years of dedication, service and support to the Tyro community.
STEM camp set
The Dragon STEM Science Camp will be held from 8 a.m. until noon each day July 15-19. Students will be involved in hands on science activities inside and out. Cost is $40 which includes a snack. Contact Keith Stanek at email@example.com, Shelly Leonard at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can call the school at 853-7795. A minimum number of participants is needed to have the science camp, therefore pre registration are required. Campers must have paid and registered by July 1. If for any reason the camp must be cancelled we will reimburse any funds paid in advance.
Library has many activities planned
On July 10, the West Davidson Public Library will have digging machines from Sink Farm Equipment along with Billy Simerson giving demonstrations. July 15 they will host a special storyteller who will come to take the participants on a Safari and July 22 is movie night for grades K-5th grade. Showing at 6 p.m. will be the movie, "The Fantastic Mr. Fox." Anyone can participate in the summer reading program if you are birth to a rising 5th grader.
Playgrounds will host childcare again
Davidson County Parks and Recreation Department will once again offer a four-week summer playground at five of our county's elementary schools. Tyro Elementary will be one of these locations and the program is open to children ages 5-12.
The camp is open from 7:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Registration is on a first come, first served basis. The cost is $5 per child per week and begins July 8.
Tyro Elementary is also a feeding site for the county so the campers attending will eat lunch free. Campers will have days filled with arts, crafts, table games, special events and many a surprise or two. For more information about this playground camp or others in the county call 242-2959.

Land Bank signs MOU
The Land Bank of Taiwan (土地銀行) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Shanghai-based Bank of Communications (交通銀行) to forge ties with the Chinese bank and lay a foundation for its expansion across the Taiwan Strait.
Under the MOU, which was signed on Tuesday, the two banks are expected to explore a wide range of business cooperation, including in the areas of corporate financing, trade financing and interbank lending.
The Taiwanese bank, which has opened a branch in Shanghai, is now preparing itself for the launch of yuan-denominated services at its branch in China.
In March 2010, the Land Bank launched yuan services at its Hong Kong branch, and it has offered similar services through its offshore banking unit since November last year.
Green Energy revenue plunges
Green Energy Technology Inc (綠能科技), the nation's biggest solar wafer maker, said on Tuesday that revenue sank 42 percent to NT$381 million (US$13 million) last month from NT$662 million in August.
The company attributed the monthly decline in sales to its decision to take no orders at low prices.
As a result, the company's factory utilization rate fell to 50 percent last month from the previous month, according to a company statement.
In the third quarter, Green Energy's revenue plunged 31 percent to NT$2.02 billion from the NT$2.92 billion it reported in the second quarter, which the company said was mainly because of falling prices.
Export growth forecast may dip
Yuanta-Polaris Research Institute (元大寶華研究院) said on Tuesday that the nation's export momentum may carry over to this month from last month but the growth will be smaller, despite the fact that companies are entering their peak purchasing season.
The Taipei-based think tank said the economies in China and the US have been improving gradually since the US launched a third round of quantitative easing and Europe implemented the Outright Monetary Transactions program, which will help Taiwan's exports this month.
The institute's remarks came after the Ministry of Finance said on Monday that the exports hit a 14-month high of US$27.17 billion last month, which represented a 10 percent monthly growth and an annual increase of 10.4 percent.
The ministry's figures showed total exports during the first nine months were still down 3.9 percent year-on-year at US$223.56 billion.
The institute forecast a slight quarterly increase in fourth quarter exports.
Procurement meetings go well
A series of procurement meetings held both in Taiwan and online on Tuesday, including meetings targeting foreign government agencies and Muslim markets, resulted in substantial levels of new business, according to the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA, 外貿協會).
The nearly 1,000 procurement meetings held between overseas buyers and Taiwanese vendors generated US$350 million in business, TAITRA said in a statement.
At least 500 buyers, including Bukhamseen Holding Group of Kuwait, Marathon Electric India Private of India and Pensonic Industries of Malaysia, are expected to come to Taiwan as part of the campaign, TAITRA said.
China offers shipping help
Beijing will offer tax, financing and insurance support to the People's Republic of China's private shipping companies to help them compete in overseas markets as carriers contend with losses and a plunge in freight rates.

(when public)
I don't feel like typing so I'll paste wikipedia. Luckily they had it in ENglish:
But I'll type the important bit.
In 1189 Yoshitune and his counterpart Benkei were surrounded by Yoritomo's soldiers. Yoshitsune's brother, Yoritomo had finally got him. Yoshitune retired to the inner part of their hideout the Koromogawa no tate to commit seppuku, while Benkei was fighting off the troops. But it was one against.. well, alot, and mighty benkei could not defend them all. He was shot by tons of arrows, and finally, died. But amazingly, he was still standing.
This became to be known as Benkei no Tachioujou. (The standing death of Benkei)
I couldn't really 'stab' my minifig with arrows so I didn't put anything. the fire of Benkei is taken from this pic:

Werner Herzog Talks One Shot, Tom Cruise: 'He Means Business'
Renowned for his prolific, fearless filmmaking, Werner Herzog is in fact nothing if not a polymath: Opera director, guerrilla film-school proprietor, diarist and author, septi-continental gadabout, and actor for hire (among other interests). It's this latter quality that he and I discussed briefly today as he made the rounds for his new capital-punishment doc Into the Abyss -- a diametric opposite to the biggest onscreen gig he's taken to date.
Word came down last month that Herzog would co-star in One Shot, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie's adaptation of the bestselling thriller by novelist Lee Child. The ninth in the series of Child's thrillers featuring ex-military investigator Jack Reacher, One Shot centers around the tough guy's attempt to hunt down the cold-blooded sniper responsible for five murders in a small town, and as if the project didn't attract enough notoriety for having Tom Cruise as its leading man and co-producer, McQuarrie intensified the spotlight by casting Herzog as Reacher's trigger-happy adversary known simply as The Zec.
The role will supply Herzog with his highest-profile screen performance yet, one about which we spoke today in New York.
So I've read that you're acting again?
Yes, I am acting again. I'm fairly good as an actor when it comes to roles of hostile or dangerous guys, or violent and debased and dysfunctional characters. And of course, since this is a big Hollywood film, they have studied my performance in other films. So I was not involved in any casting; I was just invited.
Why do you think that was?
Because I'm good! You see, when it comes to an expensive film, you can't fool around and make a choice of somebody who is known as a filmmaker. If you are bad as an actor, it may really damage the film. So they apparently took a very close look -- I mean, the director, the producer, Tom Cruise -- they took a good look at what I am onscreen as an actor.
But why do you think you're so good at it?
I don't know. Well, I like everything that has to do with cinema: writing, directing, editing, acting... Just everything. And of course I know what I should do and what I should not do. I wouldn't accept a part in a movie where I thought I couldn't manage it. In a way, for example, this is why I accepted a guest part in The Simpsons. And I'm good in there. I'm the voice of the plastic bag in Ramin Bahrani's film Plastic Bag. And I'm good in Harmony Korine's Julien Donkey Boy.
Cruise is an interesting actor to me -- someone who's never directed, but who's instead worked with some of the foremost filmmakers of the last half-century: Kubrick, Scorsese, Coppola, Spielberg, and many others. Have you met him?
What do you think of his regard for filmmakers? Do you think his wanting to work with you in this context was because he probably wouldn't have the chance otherwise?
No, he does not work with me. He works with the director, Chris McQuarrie. I'm only a partner in crime onscreen. But let me try to describe him: Yes, he has worked with some very, very good -- very good -- serious filmmakers. But what strikes me is that sometimes you can tell from five miles' distance: "This is a professional man. He means business." He's extremely well-prepared, very good to work with, very respectful -- a very kind human being. And you can tell, strangely enough, from five miles' distance.
McQuarrie aside, being on this set is probably as close to working with you as Tom Cruise is going to get, considering the films you make.
Not necessarily, because the kind of films he has been into -- like Mission: Impossible -- I'm convinced that... I don't even know who made Mission: Impossible. Who directed Mission: Impossible?
The first one was Brian De Palma.
OK. Brian De Palma is certainly the better director than me.
If I had tried to make Mission: Impossible, I wouldn't have come up with a film as intense as Brian De Palma. I mean this very film, for example. There are other people who do that better.
Fair enough. In any case, you're looking forward to this?
Yes! I'm going to have a good time. And I love Pittsburgh. My first time ever in America was Pittsburgh; I chose Pittsburgh. I left my scholarship that I had after four or five days, and then I was literally homeless. I was picked up by an absolutely wonderful family and became part of a household of six children between 17 and 27. I was adopted -- I was literally adopted from walking in the street a the outskirts. So I have seen the best of America. I've seen it right away.
Drop back by Movieline next week for more with Werner Herzog about Into the Abyss.

| Resonant Tunneling of Fast Solitons through Large Potential Barriers
Abou Salem, Walid K. ; Sulem, Catherine
We rigorously study the resonant tunneling of fast solitons through large potential barriers for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in one dimension. Our approach covers the case of general nonlinearities, both local and Hartree (nonlocal).
| Similar Sublattices of Planar Lattices
Baake, Michael; Scharlau, Rudolf; Zeiner, Peter
The similar sublattices of a planar lattice can be classified via its multiplier ring. The latter is the ring of rational integers in the generic case, and an order in an imaginary quadratic field otherwise. Several classes of examples are discussed, with special emphasis on concrete results. In particular, we derive Dirichlet series generating functions for the number of distinct similar sublattices of a given index, and relate them to zeta functions of orders in imaginary quadratic fields.
| Casselman's Basis of Iwahori Vectors and the Bruhat Order
Bump, Daniel; Nakasuji, Maki
W. Casselman defined a basis $f_u$ of Iwahori fixed vectors of a spherical representation $(\pi, V)$ of a split semisimple $p$-adic group $G$ over a nonarchimedean local field $F$ by the condition that it be dual to the intertwining operators, indexed by elements $u$ of the Weyl group $W$. On the other hand, there is a natural basis $\psi_u$, and one seeks to find the transition matrices between the two bases. Thus, let $f_u = \sum_v \tilde{m} (u, v) \psi_v$ and $\psi_u = \sum_v m (u, v) f_v$. Using the Iwahori-Hecke algebra we prove that if a combinatorial condition is satisfied, then $m (u, v) = \prod_{\alpha} \frac{1 - q^{- 1} \mathbf{z}^{\alpha}}{1 -\mathbf{z}^{\alpha}}$, where $\mathbf z$ are the Langlands parameters for the representation and $\alpha$ runs through the set $S (u, v)$ of positive coroots $\alpha \in \hat{\Phi}$ (the dual root system of $G$) such that $u \leqslant v r_{\alpha} < v$ with $r_{\alpha}$ the reflection corresponding to $\alpha$. The condition is conjecturally always satisfied if $G$ is simply-laced and the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial $P_{w_0 v, w_0 u} = 1$ with $w_0$ the long Weyl group element. There is a similar formula for $\tilde{m}$ conjecturally satisfied if $P_{u, v} = 1$. This leads to various combinatorial conjectures.
| Constructions of Chiral Polytopes of Small Rank
D'Azevedo, Antonio Breda; Jones, Gareth A.; Schulte, Egon
An abstract polytope of rank $n$ is said to be chiral if its automorphism group has precisely two orbits on the flags, such that adjacent flags belong to distinct orbits. This paper describes a general method for deriving new finite chiral polytopes from old finite chiral polytopes of the same rank. In particular, the technique is used to construct many new examples in ranks $3$, $4$, and $5$.
| Non-Existence of Ramanujan Congruences in Modular Forms of Level Four
Dewar, Michael
Ramanujan famously found congruences like $p(5n+4)\equiv 0 \operatorname{mod} 5$ for the partition function. We provide a method to find all simple congruences of this type in the coefficients of the inverse of a modular form on $\Gamma_{1}(4)$ that is non-vanishing on the upper half plane. This is applied to answer open questions about the (non)-existence of congruences in the generating functions for overpartitions, crank differences, and 2-colored $F$-partitions.
| A Bott-Borel-Weil Theorem for Diagonal Ind-groups
Dimitrov, Ivan; Penkov, Ivan
A diagonal ind-group is a direct limit of classical affine algebraic groups of growing rank under a class of inclusions that contains the inclusion $$ SL(n)\to SL(2n), \quad M\mapsto \begin{pmatrix}M & 0 \\ 0 & M \end{pmatrix} $$ as a typical special case. If $G$ is a diagonal ind-group and $B\subset G$ is a Borel ind-subgroup, we consider the ind-variety $G/B$ and compute the cohomology $H^\ell(G/B,\mathcal{O}_{-\lambda})$ of any $G$-equivariant line bundle $\mathcal{O}_{-\lambda}$ on $G/B$. It has been known that, for a generic $\lambda$, all cohomology groups of $\mathcal{O}_{-\lambda}$ vanish, and that a non-generic equivariant line bundle $\mathcal{O}_{-\lambda}$ has at most one nonzero cohomology group. The new result of this paper is a precise description of when $H^j(G/B,\mathcal{O}_{-\lambda})$ is nonzero and the proof of the fact that, whenever nonzero, $H^j(G/B, \mathcal{O}_{-\lambda})$ is a $G$-module dual to a highest weight module. The main difficulty is in defining an appropriate analog $W_B$ of the Weyl group, so that the action of $W_B$ on weights of $G$ is compatible with the analog of the Demazure ``action" of the Weyl group on the cohomology of line bundles. The highest weight corresponding to $H^j(G/B, \mathcal{O}_{-\lambda})$ is then computed by a procedure similar to that in the classical Bott-Borel-Weil theorem.
| On a Conjecture of Chowla and Milnor
Gun, Sanoli; Murty, M. Ram; Rath, Purusottam
In this paper, we investigate a conjecture due to S. and P. Chowla and its generalization by Milnor. These are related to the delicate question of non-vanishing of $L$-functions associated to periodic functions at integers greater than $1$. We report on some progress in relation to these conjectures. In a different vein, we link them to a conjecture of Zagier on multiple zeta values and also to linear independence of polylogarithms.
| Pointed Torsors
Jardine, J. F.
This paper gives a characterization of homotopy fibres of inverse image maps on groupoids of torsors that are induced by geometric morphisms, in terms of both pointed torsors and pointed cocycles, suitably defined. Cocycle techniques are used to give a complete description of such fibres, when the underlying geometric morphism is the canonical stalk on the classifying topos of a profinite group $G$. If the torsors in question are defined with respect to a constant group $H$, then the path components of the fibre can be identified with the set of continuous maps from the profinite group $G$ to the group $H$. More generally, when $H$ is not constant, this set of path components is the set of continuous maps from a pro-object in sheaves of groupoids to $H$, which pro-object can be viewed as a ``Grothendieck fundamental groupoid".
| The Cubic Dirac Operator for Infinite-Dimensonal Lie Algebras
Meinrenken, Eckhard
Let $\mathfrak{g}=\bigoplus_{i\in\mathbb{Z}} \mathfrak{g}_i$ be an infinite-dimensional graded Lie algebra, with $\dim\mathfrak{g}_i<\infty$, equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form $B$ of degree $0$. The quantum Weil algebra $\widehat{\mathcal{W}}\mathfrak{g}$ is a completion of the tensor product of the enveloping and Clifford algebras of $\mathfrak{g}$. Provided that the Kac-Peterson class of $\mathfrak{g}$ vanishes, one can construct a cubic Dirac operator $\mathcal{D}\in\widehat{\mathcal{W}}(\mathfrak{g})$, whose square is a quadratic Casimir element. We show that this condition holds for symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. Extending Kostant's arguments, one obtains generalized Weyl-Kac character formulas for suitable ``equal rank'' Lie subalgebras of Kac-Moody algebras. These extend the formulas of G. Landweber for affine Lie algebras.
| Nonabelian $H^1$ and the Étale Van Kampen Theorem
Misamore, Michael D.
Generalized étale homotopy pro-groups $\pi_1^{\operatorname{ét}}(ċ{C}, x)$ associated with pointed, connected, small Grothendieck sites $(\mathcal{C}, x)$ are defined, and their relationship to Galois theory and the theory of pointed torsors for discrete groups is explained. <br> Applications include new rigorous proofs of some folklore results around $\pi_1^{\operatorname{ét}}(ét(X), x)$, a description of Grothendieck's short exact sequence for Galois descent in terms of pointed torsor trivializations, and a new étale van Kampen theorem that gives a simple statement about a pushout square of pro-groups that works for covering families that do not necessarily consist exclusively of monomorphisms. A corresponding van Kampen result for Grothendieck's profinite groups $\pi_1^{\mathrm{Gal}}$ immediately follows.

We throw some light on the question: is there a MAD family (a maximal family of infinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, the intersection of any two is finite) that is saturated (completely separable i.e., any $X \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is included in a finite union of members of the family or includes a member (and even continuum many members) of the family). We prove that it is hard to prove the consistency of the negation:

I didnt like Bana and I think Rufalo did a good job, but Norton IMO was the best.
Just watched Hulk with Eric Bana and that brought me and my daughter to discuss this.
Of course she is going for Ruffalo and I have to agree. Though no one has done a bad job as the Dr. B.
I didnt like Bana and I think Rufalo did a good job, but Norton IMO was the best.
I know this is not a popular opinion but I like the Bana movie better than the Norton version.
Ruffalo was great in The Avengers.
I just liked it better. I thought Norton, whom I like a lot as an actor, was too whiny. also thought the whole Polar watch/heart monitor thing was ridiculous and gimmicky.
the Bana version, while too slow and even existential at times, I thought did a great job portraying the origins of Banner's uncontrollable rage, which is what ultimately gives him his superpowers.
No love for Bill Bixby - Lou Ferrigno?
I was always partial to the tight bell-bottoms he wore.
Oh wait . . . you guys wouldn't be looking at that.
The Bana Hulk was the worst film, but the scene in the desert while he was flying (jumping) and then fought the tanks was the best scene of Hulk in any film.
Then Norton.
Then Bana.

You don't even want to know how my English teacher pronounced Arkansas
Quote from: Melle on April 24, 2013, 11:58:16 AMYou don't even want to know how my English teacher pronounced Arkansas Oh, Melle. Enquiring minds want to know. (Gets out a soda and puts popcorn in the microwave).
I never found it weird because I grew up with them but in NJ we have towns called Brick & Wall. My friend from Texas finds it amusing we name towns after building materials.
It kind of sounded like Dorothy had encountered a very stereotypical pirate in Oz. As in:"Wherrrre ya from, matey?""Kansas!""ARRRRRR, Kansas!"
We had a French lady working with us for a while. She insisted that Illinois (Ill-in-oy) should be pronounced 'Eel-known-wah'. In French that was fine but Illinois isn't French.
ETA I can't believe nobody's mentioned Ugley yet - a very charming village not too far from where I grew up that never failed to elicit giggles on driving through.

As soon as Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reported the news, I knew what the response was going to be.
"He's not ready."
"He's soft."
"See you in the D-League."
"Maybe he should have asked Jordan Williams for some advice."
What Wojnarowski reported is what we all expected was coming since the Maryland Terrapins lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NIT semifinals two weeks ago. Center Alex Len will forgo his final two years of eligibility and enter the NBA Draft. Wojnarowski noted Len will hold a press conference later in the week in College Park to make the news official.
In fairness, the news has been "official" roughly since the Terrapins tipped off against Kentucky at the Barclays Center this past November. On that night, Len went off for 23 points and 12 rebounds while working to hold Wildcats freshman phenom Nerlens Noel to just four points.
That Nerlens Noel is still expected by many to be the #1 pick in the NBA Draft despite the fact that there's no guarantee he'll be able to return from a torn ACL in time to start the 2013-2014 season.
If you shut down a guy that is thought to be the #1 pick despite a torn ACL, you're probably going to be in pretty damn good shape to end up a top pick yourself. But if Alex Len's uneven play for most of the 2012-2013 season left anyone questioning where his stock sat, he addressed that swiftly just after Valentine's Day.
On February 16, Len went toe-to-toe with another expected NBA Lottery pick. In his showdown with Duke's Mason Plumlee, the Terps' big man scored 19 points and pulled down nine rebounds while limiting the Blue Devils' first team All-ACC center to just four points and three rebounds.
Fans who rushed the floor after Maryland's win that night at Comcast Center might as well have asked the Ukranian big man if they could borrow money from him this summer. A scout in attendance that night told me that while he wasn't completely sold on Len's game, he knew the soon-to-be former Terp wouldn't be falling out of the Top 10 in the Draft.
I never sensed that Maryland fans were particularly hopeful that Len would decide to pass on money in favor of another year's worth of seasoning, so I was understanding of why the reaction wasn't particularly disappointing Sunday night.
I also understand many of the responses about Len's "readiness" to make the jump to the NBA. I saw the same player who lacked the physical toughness to use his over seven foot frame to go right at defenders on many occasions. I saw the same guy that appeared a little too willing to settle for jump shots in post-up situations. I saw the same guy that looked like he might have the talent to be an All-American but who instead seemed to forget when games were scheduled to tip-off in ACC play.
I question Alex Len's "readiness" about as much as the rest of you, but I understand why scouts believe he's capable of still making improvements at the next level.
Inexplicably, Maryland's win over Duke provided a bit of a blueprint for what scouts see in Len as a pro. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is as stubborn as he is successful, choosing to keep Plumlee (and a couple others) matched up one on one with Len instead of doubling him. At the next level, Len will be more likely to see similar styles of defense, especially considering the longer three point line and greater amount of available space on the floor for offensive players to use.
Combine that with the fact that Len proved himself to be a strong defender and capable rebounder and it's much more easy to understand why NBA types believe Len's collegiate production might not be indicative of what he has to offer at the pro level.
Moreover, I'm a bit troubled by how dismissive Maryland fans have been about Len's departure. Len's 12 points and eight rebound averages don't seem particularly significant until you remember Maryland averaged just over 60 points per game as a team during ACC regular season play. For all of Len's struggles, he equated to about a fifth of their overall offense and did much more defensively.
Maryland also loses Senior big man James Padgett this offseason, meaning they will return with sophomores-to-be Charles Mitchell and Shaquille Cleare up front to combine with incoming Michigan transfer Evan Smotrycz and incoming freshman Damonte Dodd. The inexperienced group will be expected to carry the load, but more importantly wings Dez Wells and Nick Faust will be needed to carry the offensive load with more consistency.
The loss of Alex Len may by no means be damning to the Terps' chances of reaching their first NCAA Tournament since 2010, but dismissing the significance is can only be an attempt to justify the acceptance in a fan's own mind. Maryland is not only not even remotely better without Alex Len, they are most certainly a worse team today than they were when they fell to the Hawkeyes at Madison Square Garden.
So fare the well, Alex Len. I'll always be thankful for this.
And also very much so for this.

Interaction Between Neighborhood Change and Criminal Activity, 1950-1976: Los Angeles County (ICPSR 9056)
Published: May 27, 1998
Principal Investigator(s):
Solomon Kobrin; Leo A. Schuerman
Version V3
This study was conducted in 1979 at the Social Science Research Institute, University of Southern California, and explores the relationship between neighborhood change and crime rates between the years 1950 and 1976. The data were aggregated by unique and consistently-defined spatial areas, referred to as dummy tracts or neighborhoods, within Los Angeles County. By combining United States Census data and administrative data from several state, county, and local agencies, the researchers were able to develop measures that tapped the changing structural and compositional aspects of each neighborhood and their interaction with the patterns of juvenile delinquency. Some of the variables included are annual income, home environment, number of crimes against persons, and number of property crimes.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's 2011 Annual Report of ATV-Related Deaths and Injuries, Nebraska ranked 36th for reported ATV deaths from 1982-2007; with 86 total deaths or an average of 5 deaths per year. Since 2007, the state has averaged 7.5 deaths per year for 30 ATV related fatalities.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's 2011 Annual Report of ATV-Related Deaths and Injuries, Nebraska ranked 36th for reported ATV deaths from 1982-2007; with 86 total deaths or an average of 5 deaths per year. Since 2007, the state has averaged 7.5 deaths per year for 30 ATV related fatalities.
Through its ATV Safety Training Program, the Nebraska Safety Center at UNK hopes to reverse the upward trend in ATV fatalities through basic safety training for youth and adult riders. According to Dennis Holtz, CDL/AG Safety Pillar Manager, "As ATV use continues to rise in popularity in the work place and as a recreational vehicle, safety education is important for all riders, especially youth in reducing fatalities." Insurance costs may be less for riders who have taken an ATV safety course. Contact your insurance provider for more information.
The Nebraska Safety Center is committed to providing affordable ATV safety training for all ages. Class schedules for this summer will be announced soon.
When riding an ATV remember these GOLDEN RULES:
· Always wear protective gear – especially a helmet – when riding ATVs. Many ATV injuries are head injuries. Wearing a helmet may reduce the severity of these injuries. Select a helmet that is certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation. Wear over-the-ankle boots, goggles, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt to protect against injuries from rocks, trees, and other debris.
· Do not drive ATVs with a passenger or ride as a passenger. ATVs are designed for interactive riding – drivers must be able to shift their weight freely in all directions, depending on the situation and terrain. Interactive riding is critical to maintaining safe control of an ATV especially on varying terrain. Passengers can make it difficult for drivers to control the ATV.
· Do not drive ATVs on paved roads. ATVs are difficult to control on paved roads. Collisions with cars and other vehicles can be deadly. According to the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety, since 2004, 26 fatalities have occurred on public roadways.
· Do not permit children to drive or ride adult ATVs. Nationwide, children are involved in about one-third of all ATV-related deaths and hospital emergency room injuries. Most of these deaths and injuries occur when a child is driving or riding on an adult ATV. Children under 16 on adult ATVs are twice as likely to be injured as those riding youth ATVs.
· Do not drive ATVs while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs impair reaction time and judgment, two essential skills for safe ATV use.
· Take a hands-on safety-training course. Training teaches drivers how to control ATVs in typical situations. Drivers with hands-on ATV training have a lower injury risk than drivers with no formal training.
For more information on ATV Safety Courses offered by the Nebraska Safety Center, contact Dennis Holtz (308) 865-8562 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reuters's Liana Baker and Jonathan Stempel this afternoon report that Cisco Systems (CSCO) has sued TiVo (TIVO) over patents held by the latter for digital video recorders, or DVRs, citing a court filing from Wednesday, claiming TiVo won't fairly license.
The complaint, the authors note, accuses TiVo of refusing to license its technology to companies such as Cisco, which sells set-top boxes through its acquisition several years back of Scientific Atlanta. TiVo, Cisco alleges, doesn't want to "impede TiVo's capacity to bring — and ultimately settle — lawsuits over its patents, a key source of revenue."
Cisco wants the patents that TiVo has alleged against Cisco to be voided.
TiVO shares this afternoon are down 47 cents, or almost 6%, at $8.06. Cisco shares are off 31 cents, or 2%, at $16.02.

New Program Connects Vermont Teachers to UVM Science Research
- 06-30-2014
- By Amanda Kenyon Waite
"Who's ready to get muddy?" Professor Ellen Marsden grins, rubs her hands together and bounces a little on her feet. As dubious an invitation as that may seem, consider her audience: a group of middle and high school science and math teachers looking to get their hands dirty digging into UVM research.
Moments later, the teachers are crowded around a work station on UVM's Lake Champlain research vessel, the Melosira, sifting zebra mussels from a muddy bucket, sorting them, separating the dead from the living and arranging them in groups according to their approximate age. The data they're collecting are part of an effort to take stock of the existing spread of the invasive, nonnative mussel. Scientists believe that zebra mussel populations will decline in Lake Champlain soon, but that's not good news. A more harmful invasive may soon arrive, the quagga mussel, and replace and exceed the zebra mussels — an unfortunate change that's already under way on the Great Lakes.
The work of the 11 Vermont teachers doesn't end, though, once the buckets are sorted. That's just the jumping off point to a conversation about how science practice — and first-hand experiences like they've just had — can be brought back to their classrooms. They came to UVM in late June for the pilot year of the CREST program, the Champlain Research Experience for Students and Teachers, created by Regina Toolin, associate professor of science education.
A main goal of CREST is to help teachers implement the latest changes in the way science is taught nationally as recommended by the Next Generation Science Standards, released in 2013. Vermont was one of 26 lead state partners in the national project, which, boiled down, renews emphasis on science practices and lessens emphasis on memorization of content. Watching scientists in action and participating in the work themselves gets the teachers' ideas flowing for how to incorporate those experiences and implement the standards' other key features when school starts in August.
One of those other key features of the new standards are "crosscutting concepts," or ideas found across the sciences — for example: cause and effect, patterns, stability and change. Environmental science, Toolin says, is a perfect focus for the CREST program, since the environment is also an area of study where the sciences converge — from chemistry to biology to geology.
In addition to research on the lake with Marsden, the teachers ventured out on Shelburne Pond with Jason Stockwell, director of the Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Lab, to learn about that body of water's intense blue-green algal blooms. Returning to the lab at the ECHO Center, they considered the data related to temperature, time, depth, and oxygen levels, applying those crosscutting concepts to a real-world problem they had just paddled canoes through.
Essex High School science teacher Tory Couture, who registered for CREST for a chance to think more about the integration of the new standards in her classes, says the week-long program is a refreshing take on professional development. "You're not just talking about pedagogy; you're doing it."
That's the heart of the program, according to Toolin, who asserts that, "In order for students to do it, teachers have to experience it." As part of the program, the teachers are creating their own projects to implement in the coming school year, with curricular support from the program's six faculty members from disciplines including education, computer science and natural resources.
It's also a goal of the program to improve STEM education at Vermont schools serving low-income populations. CREST has funding from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) through its GEAR UP program, which supports 53 Vermont schools that meet federal income requirements. GEAR UP funds a number of initiatives that encourage students to pursue post-secondary education. This is the first time it's partnered with a STEM-specific program.
"What we're hoping is that students will get excited about STEM careers," says VSAC's GEAR UP manager Laurie Berryman, acknowledging the ripple effect the energized teachers, representing eight schools around the state, will have on their students. By funding CREST, Berryman says, "We get to make a change where it counts — by changing the culture of schools."
Burlington High School teacher Molly Heath is a believer in the hands-on science education modeled at CREST. Reflecting on the trip to Shelburne Pond, she acknowledges what was true for her and what is likely to be true for her students: "You have a connection," she says. "You've seen it, you've experienced it — you're invested."

I want to play some PC games on my Macbook Pro, and my school provides us with a copy of Vista Business. However they're only giving it to us when school starts (5+ weeks). Therefore I'm considering installing my older copy of Windows XP SP2 on my notebook so that I can play my games. When my school finally gives us our Vista Business, I'm planning to store all my game files to an external HDD, wipe out the entire XP partition, install Vista over it, then putting back all my game files.
Do you guys think this is fine? Will I face any problems?
Should be just like doing a clean install of vista.mike

You will likely need to reinstall your games, not just copy them over. Many Windows applications use shared DLLs that they place in the Windows or Windows\System(32) directory. In addition there are usually registry entries that will need to be updated. This is what the setup programs do.
If you are trying to keep profile information from your games (levels, preferences, etc.) that's a different story and dependent on each game. Some store their data in your My Documents directory, some in the Local Settings directory tree, others in the registry. If that's your concern you should check the forums of the different games you have for advice on moving an installation of that particular game.--David

I know this wasn't your question, but I would really recommend sticking with XP if you can run the games you want to play on it. I started out using XP for games and later "upgraded" to Vista. Vista is such a drain on energy resources that none of my games played as well. (FPS rates were down over 25%) So I switched back to XP. I have no plans to switch back to Vista unless some program requires it, which I don't expect any time soon as Vista is not very popular."Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others"

Why not upgrade XP to Vista? Then all your apps and settings will be intact.
Vista has a profile migrator I helped my retired neighbor put his old data from an old XP machine onto a new Vista machine. Both machines have to be on the same network. I don't know if the migrator works on same-machine cases though.This has to be one of the best threads ever in MF history...
Cherokee This gets my vote for most innovative thread on Mac-Forums... ever.

Congo DR midfielder Zola Matumona says his side must rediscover the mentality they possessed in 2006, when they reached the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations under coach Claude Le Roy.
It is the first time they have qualified for the tournament since that wonderful year for the Leopards, but a turbulent period on and off the pitch, with three different coaches taking the reins after Le Roy's 2006 departure has not helped matters.
The Frenchman is back at the helm now, however, after taking up the post following Robert Nouzaret's surprise departure in 2011; three days before a crucial 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Senegal.
"We're not in any sort of position to be making demands," Matumona told Fifa's official website.
"We mustn't forget everything we went through after Claude left in 2006.
"We need to listen to what the coach has to say, as he's already proven to our country that he know's what he's talking about.
"Reaching this Africa Cup of Nations is proof of the good work that's been done for over a year now, so now we've got to show we know what we're doing and stay fully focused in every match.
"The fans may have plenty to say, but we've got to concentrate on playing. If we all start thinking we're stars, we won't achieve anything. We've got to stick to that mantra. If Claude can't help us do it, nobody can.
"We're only a small footballing nation, so we shouldn't put too much pressure on ourselves. The most important thing is to rediscover the mentality we showed in 2006.
"I just know that if we achieve something positive [in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations], we'll go on to reach the World Cup."
Congo DR were drawn in Group B alongside Ghana, Mali and Niger. They begin their Africa Cup of Nations with a clash against Ghana on January 20.

Robbins Umeda LLP Announces an Investigation of Jefferies Group, Inc.
Nov 13, 2012, 15:32 ET from Robbins Umeda LLP
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights firm Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law by members of the board of directors of Jefferies Group, Inc. (NYSE: JEF) in connection with their efforts to sell the company to Leucadia National Corporation (NYSE: LUK). Concerned shareholders who would like more information about their rights and potential remedies can contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at (800) 350-6003, email@example.com, or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111014/ROBBINSUMEDALOGO)
On November 12, 2012, Jefferies and Leucadia announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Leucadia will acquire Jefferies through a stock-for-stock transaction. The total value of the deal is approximately $2.56 billion based on Jefferies's closing stock price on November 9, 2012. Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation focuses on whether the members of the board of directors of Jefferies are undertaking a fair process to obtain the maximum value possible for shareholders, or, instead, seeking to benefit themselves. Under the terms of the deal, holders of Jefferies common stock will receive Leucadia stock valued at $17.66 for each share they own. The $17.66 per share offer price represents a premium of only 23.7% based on Jefferies's closing price on November 9, 2012. As recently as April 10, 2012, Jefferies traded above the offer price at $18.00 per share. At least one analyst from JMP Securities has set a price target for Jefferies of $19.00 per share. Jefferies stockholders will receive 0.81 of a share of Leucadia common stock for each share of Jefferies common stock.
Further, following the completion of the merger, Jefferies's Chief Executive Officer Richard Handler will become the Chief Executive Officer of Leucadia, as well as one of its directors, and will also remain Jefferies's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman; Jefferies's Chairman of the Executive Committee, Brian Friedman, will become Leucadia's President and one of its directors, and will also remain Chairman of the Executive Committee of Jefferies. In addition, upon the closing of the transaction, four members of the board of directors of Jefferies will join the Leucadia board of directors. Further, on September 20, 2012, Jefferies reported its results for the third quarter of 2012. For the quarter, the company reported net revenue of $739 million for the third quarter of 2012, a 45% increase over the company's net revenue of $509 million for the same quarter a year ago. Given these financial results, Robbins Umeda LLP is examining the board of directors' decision to sell Jefferies now rather than allow shareholders to continue to participate in the company's continued success and future growth prospects.
Robbins Umeda LLP attorneys highlight that Jefferies shareholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit against the company to secure the best possible price for the company's shareholders and the disclosure of material information to shareholders so they can vote on the transaction in an informed manner.
Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.
