TROY – Roseville and Troy Athens were deadlocked at 37 late in the third quarter and it was anybody's game.
"How quickly things change," Roseville coach Sean Hansen lamented Tuesday.
Tim Shayoka scored 20 points and Troy Athens used a monumental second half run to beat Roseville 68-43 in non-league boys' basketball action Tuesday night.
"In the second (half) we were determined that we would be the aggressor," Athens coach David Scott said. "We had a nice rally in the third quarter. I think our defense and intensity picked up."
With the scored knotted 37-37 late in the third quarter, the Red Hawks engineered a 31-6 run the rest of the way to close out resilient Roseville.
"We came out in the second half and played as a team," Athens senior center Jeff Koch said.
Koch, a 6-foot-9 center, canned a 3-pointer to give Athens a 56-39 bulge midway through the fourth quarter - the largest lead of the game to that point.
Koch, pronounced Coke, finished with 11 points.
"We still got work to do, but it's good to be 2-0 at home (Athens beat Troy last week)," Koch said. "We have a week off before we play at Pontiac (next Tuesday)."
The Red Hawks (2-1 overall) led 39-37 when Shayoka – a crafty ball-handling sophomore guard - converted a three-point play after being fouled on a driving layup to give Athens a 42-37 advantage.
"We talked about it at halftime how we had to bring more energy," Shayoka said Tuesday. "It feels real good."
Junior guard Michael Williams (13 points) put the Red Hawks up 51-38 when he scored five straight points, including a 3-point dagger midway through the fourth.
Roseville called a timeout, but it was too late as the Red Hawks seized control of the game.
"Composure," Roseville coach Sean Hansen said Tuesday. "We didn't execute on offense in the second half, and I would guess we turned over the ball a lot. When you don't defend and turn over the ball that's not good."
Elijah Collier scored 14 points for the Panthers (1-2), while Marcus Hudson added seven points and Andre Goodhand had six. All 13 roster players played for the Panthers.
"I like that we played hard," Hansen said. "Our effort was there. But this is a learning process for us."
The first half saw nine lead changes and five tied scores as both teams battled hard on both sides of the ball.
"The second half was about defense," Scott noted. "Roseville pushed us hard in the first half. I thought they played hard. They took it to us."
Athens slowly crept away as a 25-4 run was highlighted by the splendid guard play of Williams and sophomore Devin Terry (7 points), who also dished off four assists for the Red Hawks.
Scott noted that his leading scorer entering the game was John Van Hoef, a 6-foot-5 sophomore center, but the Athens' coach also noted he has a deep bench filled with youth.
"We are young," said Scott, whose team will move up from the Oakland Activities Association Blue and into the OAA White Division this season.
"We have eight sophomores up and down on the roster," he said. "Tonight we had five (sophomores) play."
Athens sophomore Corbin Vrij, a 6-5 forward - got the start, while fellow sophomore Zak Spryzak played some key minutes on Tuesday.
"We're very young," admitted Shayoka, one of the 'Super Sophomore Class" for Scott. "We're going to build off this."
The Panthers, who travel to Fraser on Thursday, shot 12-of-19 from the free throw line.
Troy Athens, who plays at Pontiac next Tuesday, was 8-for-14 from the charity stripe.
"It's a long season – each game should be special," Scott said. "(But) we still got a ton of work to do."
ROYAL OAK 46, DETROIT UNIVERSITY PREP 43: Doc Naismith might have cringed, but coach Mike Massucci's Ravens prevailed in a physical, hard-fought affair.
"It was a typical early season game," said Massucci. "Things got pretty tough at times. I was proud of our guards. Both Andrew Glenn and Blake Hairston made some really good decisions."
Hairston, a senior guard, scored 21. Glenn, another senior guard, added 10 points. Another senior guard, C.J. Montgomery, drilled a triple with 40 seconds to play as Royal Oak reclaimed the lead. He scored six.
On Saturday, Royal Oak defeated Clarenceville 51-41 in the Keener Classic at Country Day. In that game, senior center Joel Gorbold scored 18, while senior guard Devin Carmen tossed in 10 points.
Royal Oak (2-1) entertains Detroit Summit Academy Friday night.
SHRINE 55, OAKLAND CHRISTIAN 53: Connor Francek scored 18 points, and Cameron Cavazos added 12 points in the win for Shrine (1-1). Chris Polite tallied 15 points for the Lancers (1-1).
BERKLEY 58, REDFORD UNION 43: Johnathan Radner led Berkley (2-0) with 13 points in the win. J'son Williams had nine points, and Alex Agbay scored eight points for the Bears.
LAKE ORION 72, FERNDALE 57: Chaz Miller scored 27 points and hauled in 18 rebounds for the visiting Dragons.
Ferndale, which trailed 39-32 at halftime, started the second half with a fast 11-4 run to erase the halftime deficit in just two minutes, thanks to quick baskets from Aaron Rice and Pharoh Johnson early on in the third quarter.
Ferndale finished with 10 3-pointers for the game, including five from Johnson, who finished with a team-high 21 points, while Rice finished two points shy of a double-double after recording 11 assists for the game.
MADISON 61, ANCHOR BAY 56: A tie game going into the fourth quarter was eventually decided at the charity line, said Anchor Bay coach Bob Jolet.
"They really cleaned up in fourth on free throws," Jolet said. "It was a very good basketball game, and our boys played hard, I'm proud of them."
In the fourth quarter, Madison was 9-11 on free throws. Davon Payne led the Eagles with 29 points.
Logan Merrick's 15 points paced Anchor Bay with Jack O'Shea chipping in 12 and Ryan LaRose adding 11.
Girls Basketball
FERNDALE 71, HAZEL PARK 42: It was a sweet 16 celebration for Ferndale's Micaela Ellis and Antoinette Miller. Both players scored 16 for the Eagles.
For Hazel Park, junior guard Stephanie Toma finished with 15 points and three rebounds. Junior center Dominique Coleman tallied 16 points and 13 rebounds, while junior captain Dana Moore-Sylva, a forward, finished with five points and two rebounds.
On Friday, Hazel Park welcomes Royal Oak.
ROYAL OAK 62, SOUTHFIELD 33: Dallas Porter scored half of her 16 points in the third quarter as she helped lead the Ravens to victory.
All-state senior guard Sami Stormont scored 19 and yanked down 16 rebounds despite being hounded by a box-and-one defense.
"I focused on my rebounding. Points are never important for me. I'm never worried about them. They just come as they come. The most important was just taking care of the ball, and getting my teammates involved," said Stormont, who scored the final bucket of the first half, and the first of the second half, then led the Ravens on a 10-0 run to start the fourth before taking a seat on the bench.
Southfield was paced by Kierra Washington's 10 points.
BERKLEY 50, OAK PARK 9: Leah Brickner scored eight points and snatched eight rebounds for the winning Bears (3-2, 1-0). Teammate Hannah Mulcahy scored eight.
LAKE ORION 45, TROY ATHENS 35: Nicole Krier scored 14 points for Lake Orion (1-4, 1-3 OAA White). Taylor Hill scored 13 points for Troy Athens (0-5, 0-4 OAA White).
STONEY CREEK 46, TROY 39: Maria Zandi scored 16 points for Stoney Creek (4-0, 2-0). Rachael Zelmanski scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds for Troy (1-4, 0-2 OAA Red).
BLOOMFIELD UNIFIED 3, ROYAL OAK 2: The winning goal came with less than a minute to play in the third period.
Scoring Royal Oak's second goal was junior Evan Fall on an assist from Quinn Fall, a freshman.
"It was an exciting game," said Craig Ward, the Royal Oak coach. "I believe in the first period they got us, and in the second we got them."
Bloomfield led 1-0 at the end of the first period. The score was knotted at 2-2 late in the third period.
The Royal Oak line of Patrick Boucard, Mike Christie and Kevin Trumble played well.
The Ravens host Crestwood at the John Lindell Arena Wednesday.

I can't speak for everyone at Evernote, but, personally, I think Google Chrome rocks the house. And today, we have a very cool Google Chrome tip to share with you.
Searching Evernote with Chrome
Google Chrome's address bar doubles as a search bar, which makes it really easy to search various sites without actually going to them first. Now, you can add Evernote as a search engine in Google Chrome and search your notes from anywhere. Here's how to set it up:
- Go to the Preferences (Mac) or Tools>Options (Windows) menu
- Click on the Manage button in the Default Search section, in the Basic tab on Windows
- Click to add a new search engine
Type the following:
- Name: Evernote
- Keyword: Evernote.com
- URL: http://www.evernote.com/search?q=%s
That's it. To use it, type "evernote.com" into the search bar and hit Tab—Chrome will auto-complete the URL, so you can hit Tab as soon as "evernote.com" pops up. Now, do a search. This will take you straight into Evernote.
Don't forget about the Web Clipper
Google now supports extensions on both Windows and Mac, which means that everyone out there can take advantage of the Evernote Web Clipper extension. If you had an earlier version of Chrome for Mac installed, you might need to first re-install the latest version of Chrome.
Also available in Firefox
You can set Firefox to do this too.
- Click on Organize Bookmarks in the Bookmark menu
- Add a new Bookmark
Type the following:
- Name: Evernote
- Location: http://www.evernote.com/search?q=%s
- Keyword: Evernote (or whatever is easiest for you remember)
Now you can simply type the keyword that you set into the address bar, followed by a space and your search. For the example I used in the video, you would type: "Evernote fried rice"

I'm pretty new to Java, I've tinkered with it a little off and on but am a beginner for sure. I do have many years of experience with Basic, Fortran, Pascal, and C++, but just as a hobbiest and am currently pretty rusty. I have one question and would appreciate some direction with some web programming I would like to create and use as guide as to what I need to learn first within Java.
First, and I have to admit that I didn't do much searching before posting this, I was wondering if there is a JDK that can be used with an iPad? Much of what I end up doing will be on a Windows-based pc, but it would be convenient at times to work with an iPad.
Second, I have setup and maintain 22 weather stations throughout Northern Utah and the data from these stations are posted to several web locations, including an FTP site. I'm assuming since I'm dealing with an FTP server vs an http server that Java is the way to go for what I'm wanting to accomplish.
I've developed an Excel spreadsheet that queries 22 different files on the FTP server that contain two columns of weather element information. The first column contains the label of the specific weather element and the second column contains the value or data. The spreadsheet imports the entire (current) "table" in and then I'm able to create other "pages" of data comparison between stations.
I want to make this a web-based thing instead of Excel-based, not to mention have the flexibility to do some other thing with it as we'll. I really need some direction from experience Java programmers how I might best approach this and that will help define my course of study of the language, hopefully bypassing the traditional "Hello World" lesson and how to perform basic arithmetic.
If anyone wants to see or experiment with the files I need to read and extract from, this is one of the 22:
Thanks in advance for any replies.

THE release of fresh video footage showing Australian hostage Warren Rodwell alive a year after his kidnapping in the southern Philippines gives some hope that a deal might be struck for his release, according to some experts.
''It's encouraging to know that he is still alive,'' said regional analyst Professor Damien Kingsbury of Deakin University on Thursday.
''It's very positive that [the kidnappers] have shown a video and I think that means there is some seriousness to a discussion about a negotiation for his release. I would say his chances are probably slightly better than even at the moment.''
Neil Fergus, a former Australian intelligence officer who now runs private company Intelligent Risks, also saw the video as ''some cause for optimism'', although not necessarily proof a deal was near.
Rodwell's family members in Australia were keeping quiet on Thursday and Foreign Minister Bob Carr would only say Canberra was ''assisting Philippines authorities where appropriate'' and that it was in ''regular communication'' with the family.
However, there is mounting criticism that the federal government is being too cautious in its public pronouncements.
Australian policy is not to pay ransom money, the primary source of income for the militant Islamic Abu Sayyaf group, which snatched Rodwell from his home in the seaside town of Ipil on December 5 last year.
But Fergus said the government should send a message to Rodwell's kidnappers about Australia's aid dollars in the region.
''It would be helpful if the Australian government could convey some messages about the nature and extent of Australian aid going into Mindanao and the fact that their continued holding of Rodwell may place in jeopardy those programs,'' Fergus told Fairfax Media.
''Abu Sayyaf should know … that we do care about Mr Rodwell as an Australian citizen.''
An independent researcher on counter-insurgency in the Southern Philippines, Bob East, also says more publicity would boost Rodwell's chances of survival.
''If the coverage goes quiet, whichever group that has him might think he's not worth anything to them,'' East said.
Rodwell, 54, a former soldier who has spent many years in Asia, was snatched by half a dozen gunmen posing as policemen and is reported to have been taken to Basilan Island, off the Zamboanga Peninsula.
The kidnappers have demanded a $2 million ransom.
At the time of his capture he had reportedly recently separated from his second wife, a 28-year old Filipina, Miraflor Gutang.
The new two-minute video appears to have been shot on December 16, and shows him clutching a copy of a local newspaper dated the previous day. Looking gaunt and sounding tired and in poor spirits, he says he has been in captivity for 378 days, that ''something is happening but I don't know when'' and he holds ''no hope at all for being released.''
''I do not trust the Abu Sayyaf, I do not trust the Australian government,'' he said. ''I just don't trust anyone. Personally, I don't care.''
His open criticism of Abu Sayyaf has led some observers to speculate that he might have been sold to another group.
Counter-terrorism expert Professor Clive Williams, of Macquarie University, said the mountainous terrain of Basilan was notoriously difficult for the Philippine army to penetrate and that many of its villagers were loyal to Abu Sayyaf.
''I think it's only going to be resolved through negotiation,'' Williams said.
''Realistically there is not a lot of prospect of a rescue operation.''
Last year a Senate inquiry recommended eight options for how the government should handle such kidnappings, including the option that DFAT inform the family about ''engaging a private kidnap and ransom consultant''.
''One of the most compelling messages coming out of this inquiry was the importance of government agencies, especially DFAT, exercising greater care, consideration and diligence in the way they deal with the distressed families of a person kidnapped and held for ransom overseas,'' the committee reported.
Over the past decade 19 Australians have been kidnapped, mostly from Africa and the Middle East.
Rodwell is the only Australian kidnapped in the Philippines.

This summer, a common ritual will be observed at boat ramps up and down the country as thousands of Kiwis back trailers into the water, launch a boat and whizz off for some sea action.
Of all the ways we like to get afloat, getting into a 4-8 metre powerboat is by far the most popular. According to industry estimates there are about 170,000 of these craft out there - a number exceeded only by the flotsam of 250,000 dinghies, kayaks and windsurfers we mess around in and on at weekends.
Those numbers add up to a seriously big local manufacturing sector, by some accounts New Zealand's biggest.
But the businesses making New Zealand such a powerboat powerhouse are not big corporates or offshoots of multinationals. Almost invariably they are family affairs, run by committed, inventive engineering types who love what they do.
Paul Adams is one of them. A Southlander who rolls his "Rs" with the best of them, Adams founded Stabicraft 24 years ago in an Invercargill workshop, where he and colleague Bruce Dickens built their first boat.
Its characteristic design was born in the tough seas of Foveaux Strait, says Adams.
"It was based around a couple of clever fishermen in the local port of Bluff, who had the idea of an aluminium pontoon boat versus a rigid hulled inflatable. [They thought] `This rubber thing, we're always fixing it, it's not durable. Aluminium would solve a lot of the problems'."
Since then Stabicraft has become synonymous with the aluminium pontoon - its snub-nosed, angular boats clearly built for practicality more than looks.
"Some people can call it ugly," says Adams good humouredly. "But there is something about it that's kind of `stealth', that people like. It gives them a sense of confidence I think."
Ugly or not, the concept has helped Stabicraft become one of New Zealand's biggest trailer boat manufacturers. Adams estimates 8-9000 New Zealanders are buzzing about on a Stabicraft, as well as more than 1000 boaties overseas.
But some years have been tough - 2009 in particular, when Stabicraft had to lay off 13 people, reducing its staff to 47.
It was "a very difficult time," says Adams, "but we had to do it only once, and I think we made it as painless as we could for everyone."
But from those depths, business has improved and, at the end of 2011, conditions are looking better than they have for a long time.Read more at http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/6196980/Boat-builders-on-crest-of-a-wave

Elizabeth Berkley Performs 'Saved By The Bell' Inspired Dance On 'Dancing WIth The Stars'
Nigel Campbell | October 15, 2013
We're so excited!!
Elizabeth Berkley served up some Saved By The Bell realness on Monday's Dancing With The Stars when she reenacted her iconic "Jessie Spano"-caffeine pill-induced-"I'm so excited! I'm so scared" sequence...which naturally led into a jive dance routine to The Pointer Sisters hit!
She's a sport for doing it--and we're grateful. Now if only we could get a full on Zack Attack musical reunion with the rest of the gang!
What did you think of Elizabeth Berkley's trip down memory lane?

Diets that prescribe stitching a wire mesh to your tongue, binge drinking, and passing a feeding tube through the nostril in order to pump a liquid formula into the stomach, rate as some of the worst diet plans -- ever.
Plastic tongue patch diet
This procedure involves a plastic mesh patch sewn onto the tongue, making eating solid foods so painful you have no choice but to adhere to a liquid diet. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Nikolas Chugay had seen the procedure done in Latin America, especially Venezuela, so he introduced it in the U.S. four years ago at a price of $2,000 a pop. Diet includes an exercise plan and a daily drink of 800 calories.
Tube feeding diet
Brides-to-be, want to squeeze into that strapless wedding gown in 10 days? One terrible diet scheme is the K-E Diet (short for Ketogenic Enternal Nutrition), which promises to help you drop weight quickly by being fed through a feeding tube. Through the tube, dieters are fed a carb-free mixture of protein, fat, and water, adding up to only 800 calories a day.
Drunkorexia diet
Basically, a diet based on alcohol and little else. Experts find that as many as one in six U.S. college women skip meals to get drunk faster and "make room" for alcohol calories, with three times as many women reportedly engaging in what's dubbed "drunkorexia" than men.
6 Weeks to OMG Diet
The diet calls for skipping breakfast, exercising first thing in the morning after drinking black coffee, then sitting in a cold bath to encourage the burning of stored fat until 10 a.m. Snacks and fruits are off limits, foods are protein-heavy and carbs can come from cola or broccoli.

TEMECULA Members of the Great Oak boys basketball team have spent many hours practicing and playing in their home gym.
They've no doubt seen the banners honoring current and former Wolfpack league champions in a variety of sports.
Next season, the honor will also be theirs.
Senior center Justin Sadler had 23 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, and senior forward Patrick Sniff added 12 points and 15 rebounds, leading Great Oak to a convincing 72-51 victory over visiting Murrieta Mesa on Thursday night.
The Wolfpack (17-8, 8-2) captured their first Southwestern League title with the win.
"Coming back next year and seeing that banner will be a great feeling," said the 6-foot-7 Sniff. "I'm looking forward to coming back and seeing it hanging in the gym."
Before this season, Great Oak had never finished better than .500 in league play.
"We've come a long way since May," said Wolfpack first-year coach Robert Hickey. "We kept improving. The mark of a good team is playing their best basketball at the end of the year, and I think that's what we're doing."
Great Oak may have played its best game Thursday.
"Tonight, we got the ball to the post and it turned out well for us," said Sadler, who is every bit of the 6-6, 235 pounds that he's listed on the roster. "They tried to double team us, but that just left it open for our other guys to get to the hole even better."
Mesa tried everything to get defensive stops. The smaller Rams pressed and double teamed the post.
The Wolfpack always had an answer.
"We spaced the floor, and we took down their press pretty easily," Sadler said. "That left a lot of space for our guys to get the ball into us, and for us to get those easy layups."
Mesa defeated Great Oak by three points two weeks ago.
"We beat them on the boards tonight," Sniff said. "Last game, they probably outhustled us and outrebounded us, so our big thing was on the boards."
The Wolfpack led by four points after one quarter, and 14 by intermission.
An 11-3 run to start the third quarter pushed Great Oak's lead to 23. And all that was left after that was finding the best spot on the wall to place that banner.
"My teammates made it a whole lot easier for me," said Great Oak sophomore guard Latrelle Franklin, who chipped in 14 points, seven assists and two steals. "They did their part, and I did my part, and we're going to roll together."
The Rams (16-11, 6-4) also made terrific strides this year. In only their third varsity season, they entered Thursday's game with a chance to win the league.
But it was not meant to be.
"They played harder than us," said Rams senior guard Khalil Sharpe, who scored a team-high 14 points. "We came out flat. Our defense was off, our shots were off."

BOULDER – On a cold, snowy Colorado night, if the guys from the desert needed a blanket, their hosts were happy to oblige. The Buffaloes draped themselves over No. 9 Arizona, smothering the Pac-12 Conference's highest-scoring team and leaving a delirious Coors Events Center with a resume-enhancing, think-Big-Dancing 71-58 win.
As nasty as CU's defense was in limiting Arizona to its lowest point total of the season, the offense provided by sophomore Spender Dinwiddie and freshman Xavier Johnson was Valentine's Night sweet for the Buffs. Dinwiddie finished with a game-high 21, Johnson with a career-high 19.
But they had loads of help in different areas. Sophomore guard Askia Booker added 10 points, two assists and three steals, and junior Andre Roberson contributed seven points and a game-best 13 rebounds to move past Cliff Meely into second place (978) on the school's board list.
"It was a great atmosphere for college basketball," CU coach Tad Boyle said. "The whole state of Colorado can be proud . . . this had nothing to do with revenge, but everything to do with respect for Arizona. They'll win a lot of games as the season unfolds, but we will, too."
Particularly if the Buffs continue to play 'D' as they have over the past month. The Wildcats came into the game averaging 76.2 points a game and featured two of the league's top nine scorers in Mark Lyons (17.5) and Solomon Hill (15.4). Lyons got 11 points, Hill 12 on Thursday night as the Wildcats were limited to 42.3 percent from the field.
CU entered the night as the Pac-12 leader in scoring defense (64.2 ppg) and field goal percentage (40.6). But Boyle said his team's defensive effort on Thursday was nothing short of a milestone in his time at CU.
"From start to finish, yes," he said. "We made them work for everything. When we have a break down defensively now, our players know it and it burns at them, which is a great sign. We were dialed in – and we made some shots."
"Some," indeed. The Buffs checked out at 50 percent from the field, including 59.1 percent in the second half when the Wildcats cut a 15-point deficit to nine on two occasions and closed to within six with 10:35 to play. Dinwiddie scored 19 of his total in the final 20 minutes and added a career-best seven assists.
Of his assists, Dinwiddie said: "I didn't play too much different . . . I have got to give thanks to this person (Xavier Johnson); he made a ton of shots, a bunch of threes. Without him I don't get those assists, a lot of those are him."
The Buffs finished nine of 17 from behind the three-point arc, with Johnson going four-for-five and Dinwiddie two-for-five. Freshman reserve Xavier Talton each hit their only three-point attempt and Booker was good on one of his four trey tries. Talton's trey was only his second of the season, but it was undoubtedly his biggest, coming after Arizona had closed to 45-39.
In winning its fourth straight and sixth of its last seven games, CU (17-7, 7-5) avenged its 92-83 overtime loss in Tucson on Jan. 3. Arizona (20-4, 8-4) lost its second consecutive game and was shoved out of a first-place Pac-12 tie with UCLA and Oregon.
The Buffs, defeating a Top 25 team for the second time in three games, improved to 11-1 in the CEC this season and went to 42-5 at home under Boyle. CU won 48-47 at No. 19 Oregon a week ago.
On Valentine's Night, the CEC was the place to be. The sellout crowd (11,120) included John Elway and former Buffs linebacker Matt Russell, now Elway's right hand man with the Broncos; former CU kicker Mason Crosby (Green Bay) and his wife; and former Buffs hoopsters Alec Burks (Utah Jazz) and Shannon Sharpe.
With the building's decibel level cranked past deafening, they watched a first half that saw CU start by missing consecutive layups on consecutive possessions, then settle in and stifle Arizona.
By halftime, CU had matched its largest lead of the first 20 minutes, with its 30-23 advantage produced by a 10-3 run over the half's last 6:12. Johnson and Booker got the surge started with back-to-back treys, followed by Shane Harris-Tunks' baby hook and a Roberson stuff.
Johnson (12) was CU's only player in double figures, but the Buffs' defense allowed the offense any slack it needed. No Arizona player reached double figures in the first 20 minutes, with Lyons and Angelo Chol managing six points each.
The second-half start was nothing like the first for the Buffs. Scoring the half's first eight points – three free throws by Dinwiddie, a Dinwiddie stuff and a trey by Roberson – they went up by 15 (38-23) with 17:52 to play.
The Wildcats needed a timeout – and maybe it helped. They got their first points of the half on a trey by Lyons, then another by Nick Johnson and cut the Buffs' lead to 38-29 with 16:05 remaining.
CU's answer: a long triple by Dinwiddie as the shot clock wound down and a step-back jumper by Booker. The Buffs' lead went to 14 (43-29), but the Wildcats got two of three free throws from Grant Jerrett and a Lyons layup to close to 43-33.
Arizona pulled as close as six points (45-39) before Talton drained his trey, Dinwiddie following with a spinning layup, then adding a triple to restore a 14-point (53-39) Buffs advantage with just under 10 minutes to play.
Boyle lauded Booker for urging his coach to leave Talton in. "I was ready to put 'Ski' in, but 'Ski' said let him (Talton) go," Boyle said. "I played him another three or four minutes . . . when you've got players like that, putting their best interests behind the team's, you've got a chance to have something special. I'm proud of 'Ski;' that wouldn't have happened last year."
A layup by Talton 2 minutes later pushed CU ahead by 15 (56-41), giving the Buffs their largest lead of the night. Over the final 7 minutes, Arizona trimmed its deficit to nine points twice, but Johnson answered the second surge with back-to-back treys. When Booker hit a one-handed leaner, CU had another 15-point lead (68-53) with 2:38 remaining.
The Buffs had watched a 17-point lead evaporate in Tucson, but no way it would happen in the rematch. All that remained was for the CU student body to rush court – and this time no one questioned whether it was justified.
CU hosts Arizona State Saturday (7 p.m., ESPNU), and Boyle said the Buffs need another shot of Thursday night's CEC energy: "We need that same kind of atmosphere; they (fans) were part of this victory."

Louse Collectors and Collaborators
Public Engagement and Bats
Bats are perhaps one of the most misunderstood of all mammals because of their nocturnal and secretive lifestyle. They often are the subject of myths that impair their reputation. To help dispel their bad reputation, we often engage the public in field trips to sample and inventory their local bat fauna. This provides a unique opportunity for local kids and adults to learn the benefits and importance of bats in their own backyard.
University of Florida Bat House & Bat Barn
View to the the world's largest occupied bat houses
The most common species living here is the Brazilian free-tailed bat, Tadarida brasiliensis. The Southeastern bat, Myotis austroriparius, and Evening bat, Nycticeius humeralis, also live in the structures.
Public Engagement and the Mammal Collection
Museum specimens are frequently used to give presentations on a range of subjects including biodiversity, conservation, and form and function. These presentations have been given at public libraries, schools, the Lubee Foundation, and Powell Hall by graduate students in the Reed Lab and by Candace McCaffery, collection manager of the Mammal Collection. The Mammal Collection also provides specimens to be used in educational displays in the lobby of Dickinson Hall. By using museum specimens to give public presentations, we can raise awareness and appreciation of global biodiversity and promote a shared concern for conservation between the general public and researchers.

Men's Golf Wraps Up SEC Championships
Associate SID
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - Led by a 1-over par round of 71 by senior All-SEC and All-America candidate Sang Yi, the Tigers wrapped up the 2012 SEC Men's Golf Championships in 11th place overall following Sunday's final round held at the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club.
Yi carded four birdies and five bogeys on his round to wrap up the championship with a 54-hole score of 7-over par 217 to tie for 31st place on the individual leaderboard.
A native of Carrollton, Texas, Yi saw his run of five-straight top-10 finishes snapped as he teed off for the first round on Friday with Top 10s in each of his five previous tournament starts this spring.
Yi helped the Tigers move up one spot in the final team standings as they finished in 11th place overall on the weekend with a 54-hole team score of 37-over par 877. That includes a score of 17-over par 297 in the final round following scores of 16-over 296 in the first round and 4-over 284 in the second round.
After teeing off in Sunday's final round with a commanding 11-stroke lead, No. 8-ranked Alabama posted a 2-over par 282 for the day while claiming the 2012 Southeastern Conference Championship by six shots over No. 3-ranked Auburn with a winning 54-hole score of 12-under par 828. The Crimson Tide captured its first SEC title since 2008, and its third team championship in tournament history.
Auburn was the only team to break par in the final round with its team score of 3-under par 277, but could not overcome an 11-shot deficit to its rival entering Sunday's action.
The Florida Gators followed in third place with a 54-hole score of 1-over par 841, while Georgia earned a fourth-place finish at 10-over 850 and Arkansas rounded out the top five in fifth place at 15-over 855.
Alabama freshman Justin Thomas made it a clean sweep of SEC titles for the Crimson Tide as he took the individual championship with a winning score of 7-under par 203, including a 2-under par 68 in Sunday's final round. Thomas earned an automatic First-Team All-SEC selection with his victory, as he became the first Alabama golfer to claim the SEC individual crown since Michael Thompson in 2008.
Thomas trailed Alabama teammate Bobby Wyatt and Tennessee standout Rick Lamb by a single stroke as he teed off in the final round in third place on the leaderboard. He took the title with a score of 2-under 68 on Sunday after opening with rounds of 2-under par 68 on Friday and 3-under par 67 on Saturday.
Wyatt posted a 1-over 71 in the final round to finish two shots behind Thomas as the SEC Championships runner-up, while Lamb fell back into sixth place at 3-under 207 with his 3-over 73 on Sunday.
Freshman Stewart Jolly added a 3-over 73 toward LSU's final round score as he tied for 39th place overall at 9-over par 219 in his SEC Championships debut. Sophomore Andrew Presley posted a 6-over 76 in the final round to tie for 42nd place at 10-over 220, while senior Austin Gutgsell added a 7-over 77 for LSU in the final round to tie for 44th place overall at 11-over 221 for the weekend.
Sophomore Franco Castro wrapped up the championship in 60th place in the final individual standing with his 54-hole score of 24-over par 234, including an 11-over par 81 during Sunday's action.
With the 2012 SEC Men's Golf Championships now in the books, the 17th-ranked Tigers await a selection to NCAA Regional play in the coming weeks. LSU looks to qualify for the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships for the third-straight season with a top-five finish in NCAA Regional play which is slated for May 17-19 at one of six sites across the country designated by the NCAA.
Teams finishing in the top five of the final team standings at each of the six NCAA Regional sites will get an opportunity to compete at the 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships being held at Riviera Golf Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., from May 29-June 3.

Mild weather on the Plains
Across the Corn Belt, cold weather covers the upper Midwest, where Thursday morning's low temperatures dipped to 0° or below as far south as northeastern Iowa. Dry weather and below-normal temperatures cover the remainder of the Midwest, except for some snow showers in the lower Great Lakes region.
On the Plains, a few snow showers are spreading across Montana. Dry weather covers the remainder of the nation's mid-section. Meanwhile, warm weather is returning to the central and southern High Plains, where Thursday's high temperatures will generally range from 65 to 80°.
In the South, a Freeze Warning is in effect Thursday morning across much of Georgia. However, temperatures remained safely above the freezing mark in Florida's citrus belt. Elsewhere in the South, cool, dry weather prevails.
In the West, rain and snow showers stretch across the northern tier of the region from western Washington to the northern Rockies. Farther south, colder air is overspreading California and the Great Basin, accompanied by isolated showers. In contrast, warm, dry weather prevails in the Southwest.
A disorganized storm system beginning to affect the western U.S. will cross the Southwest on Friday and reach the central High Plains on Saturday.
During the weekend, the system will move northeastward into the Midwest. Early next week, a cold front associated with the storm will traverse the southern and eastern U.S., accompanied by showers and thunderstorms.
During the next 5 days, precipitation totals of up to an inch can be expected from the Southwest into the Midwest, while rainfall could locally exceed 2 inches in the Mid-South. Northwest of the storm's path, late-season snowfall can be expected from the central Rockies into the upper Great Lakes region.
A brief surge of cool air will trail the storm, but by early next week, temperatures will quickly rebound to above-normal levels across the western half of the U.S.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for colder-than-normal conditions across the eastern half of the U.S., except for near- to above-normal temperatures in New England. Warmer-than-normal weather will prevail in the West. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation across roughly the southern half of the nation will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather across the nation's northern tier.

The lights are on
Mass Effect was one of the most action-packed space odysseys we've ever experienced, and it has at least two sequels that look to up that ante in nearly every way. Whether you are new to the universe or an experienced explorer, feel free to pull up a chair
In the Mass Effect games there have been some amazing characters for you to recruite. So who's your favorite and least favorite in ME1 or 2 even if they didn't survive. Personally my favorite was Wrex and my second was Garrus at first but I wasn't able to save Wrex in the first game before *SPOILER* Ashley shot him so I started to take a liking to Garrus and after I realized *SPOILER* that he was Arckangel in the second he became my all time favorite! And my least favorite is probably Jack.
Wrex is the best character in the series so far. Tali is a close second.
Kaiden is the worst character. He has the same voice as Carth Onasi and is just as big a whiner.
If you bred HK-47, Shale, Chai Ka and Wrex, the gaming world would explode from sheer badassery.
I agree. Every playthrough I have, Kaidan is the one who stays behind on Virmire. He just never gave me a reason as to why he's worth any of my time.
As far as favorites go, Tali, Mordin and Garrus are definitely up there. However, I'd have to say my favorite is... the entire ME2 team. Every single one of them really contributed so much to the story, and I really felt like I got to know each and every one of them. It was like being a part of a cohesive unit that moved effortlessly to eliminate any and all foes. I can't narrow it down and point to one character and label them my favorite, because every one of them was a great addition to the story, and I'm glad they were at Shepard's side.
I have to go with Wrex and Tali, but Mordin is also up there, the problem is that he dies too easily and is useless in the suicide mission. But Kaidan definitely is the worst character.
I would agree with everyone so far i personal picks would ahve to be Grunt or Wrex (pending on which game i am play at the time) and Tali... and yea Kaidan is just boring and really give you know reason to want to save him in the first game
Wrex and Grunt, but I killed them both AH! I can never keep Krogans alive even if they are my favorite species in the game. I hope I get another in ME 3.
Wrex, and Grunt, for me. I absolutely love and adore them. Jacob's a tank if you level him up right. I don't mind Garrus or a good biotic.
"Iba se ori egun Ìlà arun, Ìwò arun, ariwa arun, gusuu arun, egun orun, egun ayie, ase."
The Holy Trinity of GIO:
GIO Usage Guidelines, Newcomer Cheat Sheet, Site Feedback
ME1: I never felt like it mattered much who you brought, though Ashley and Wrex were nice for their immunity.
ME2: I used Miranda a lot since sentinels are awesome support characters. Samara/Morinth had a nice combination of offensive abilities, too.
ME3: Liara and James or Ashley way more than any others. Liara's cooldowns are so low that you can just spam biotic explosions. As for James/Ashley, I felt that the soldier characters were much more powerful offensively this time around.
ME1: I've always felt one of the weaker aspects of the first game was that none of its characters were very interesting. Wrex and Tali were the only ones with a trace of a personality.
ME2: I actually liked a lot of the characters in the second one. Zaeed was an all-around ***, always loved listening to his take on events. Jacob was also quite likable, and I thought Legion was quite interesting.
ME3: This game had more interesting characters than the first one, and part of that was because of how you got to watch them grow, but I didn't feel like the squad was as interesting as the second one, but then the second entry was practically all about the squad. Javik and James were good additions to the cast, though.
Grunt and Garrus, a great sniper/berserker team, and then paired with my biotic Shepard, unstoppable.
Didn't like Grunt too much at first, but I am doing an Infiltrator build, and he is priceless.
"I'm a dude, playin' a dude, disguised as anotha dude! You a dude that don't know what dude he is!" -Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder
Tali. I'm not sure why, but she's my favorite character.
Read with caution:
I didn't mind Tail too much either, but she ended up killing herself in 3 for me...
I like thane, jacob, and garrus.
Miranda, Jack, and Tali.

Shortly after graduating from college, Paul (Mathieu Amalric) receives word from his mother Odette (Michele Gary) that his father (Roger Souza) has been diagnosed with cancer and doesn't have long to live. Paul decides to come home for an extended visit, and while he's happy to become reacquainted with his mom, he has issues with his father and isn't sure how to approach him. After several years away, Paul is shocked at how much the countryside has changed; developers have been buying up property in the area, and suburban subdivisions are replacing the family farms he remembered. Paul renews his friendship with Thierry (Fabrice Cals), who was his best friend as a boy, but he soon finds this is another area where things have changed; Thierry's girlfriend these days is Odile (Lauryl Brossier), who confesses to Paul that she was infatuated with him when they were schoolmates years ago, and while he's quite smitten with her, he doesn't want to betray his friendship with Thierry, who is growing visibly uncomfortable with their casual affection. As Paul must come to terms with his relationship with his father, he also has to face the reality that his father's death will mean the end of the family's farm -- a prospect that bothers Paul more than it does Odette. Amour D'Enfance was screened at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, where it was shown as part of the Un Certain Regard series.

Submission + - Lyto Camera Lets You Shift Focus After Shooting (gizmag.com)
Zothecula writes: For those of us who grew up with film cameras, even the most basic digital cameras can still seem a little bit magical. The ability to instantly see how your shots turned out, then delete the ones you don't want and manipulate the ones you like, is something we would have killed for. Well, light field cameras could be to today's digital cameras, what digital was to film. Among other things, they allow users to selectively shift focus between various objects in a picture, after it's been taken. While the technology has so far been inaccessible to most of us, that is set to change, with the upcoming release of Lytro's consumer light field camera.

White 9 wedding offers comforting last moments
A wedding moment to remember: From left, Porter, Wollison and Labourene
Wedding bells were ringing through the hallways of White 9 on June 24 when Susan Wollison and Richard Porter exchanged their vows in the inpatient room of Susan's mother, Marcia Labourene. The impromptu wedding, originally planned for June 27, was rescheduled at the suggestion of the MGH palliative care team caring for Labourene, 91, who was struggling with a debilitating pulmonary disease. Labourene and her daughter worked with the staff of White 9 to arrange the wedding so that Labourene would be able to witness her daughter's nuptials in person, something very important to both mother and daughter.
"This is the best thing I could ever give to my mother," said Wollison. "The fact that she was able to be here to witness how much love Richard and I share and that we will be forever happy was her biggest gift to me."
The groom's lifelong friend John E. Ligums, a justice of the peace, flew to Boston from Houston to officiate the ceremony with a Bible provided at the last minute by MGH Chaplaincy. In addition to the beaming mother of the bride, eight other family members of both the bride and groom attended the bedside ceremony. Sadly, Labourene, who had shown a renewed sense of happiness following the wedding, died July 8. She proudly said at the wedding, "This means the world to me. To have my entire family gathered with me is the best gift ever."

'Once Upon a Time in the West,' 1969
Sergio Leone filled his best Western with performers whose charisma holds the screen, even though they have Monument Valley as their competition. Indeed, he sculpts his four principals to such a hard edge that they could form a movieland Mount Rushmore: Claudia Cardinale as the widow who owns a watering hole near the first transcontinental railroad; Henry Fonda as the sleek, flinty-eyed badman who tries to drive her off; Jason Robards as the grungy outlaw who defends her; and an electrically laconic Charles Bronson as the Man with the Harmonica (pictured). Leone deploys the character actors Jack Elam and Woody Strode with a sardonic precision that transforms their one big scene -- a train wait punctuated by dripping water and a buzzing fly -- into a paradigm of comic irritation. The conquest of space -- the hidden theme of Leone's early Westerns -- emerges here full force. The camera tracks beyond the railroad and captures the conquering heroes (and menacing villains) in outsize closeups. The cinematography combines with the majestic Ennio Morricone score and the nonpareil actors to make this the ne plus ultra of spaghetti Westerns: the Iron Horse Opera.

Liam Hemsworth Worried That Miley Cyrus Is Partying Too Hard
Uh oh. It's no secret that Miley Cyrus likes to party, seeing as its gotten her into some trouble in the past. But now it may be getting her into trouble with her boyfriend, 'The Hunger Games' star Liam Hemsworth.
Us Weekly reports that Cyrus' habits are making her Aussie man a little uncomfortable. "She gets pretty crazy," a source told the mag.
A refresher: Cyrus was recently photographed leaving a marijuana dispensary, was infamously caught on video smoking salvia and has admitted (then backpedaled from) to being a stoner. So what antics actually worry Hemsworth?
"She's always out in skimpy outfits and writhing on Liam," the source dished. "Sometimes he looks embarrassed for her." Yikes! Considering Cyrus may have been nervous about losing her man to fame, this can't be helping matters. The source added that while Hemsworth loves the 'Can't Be Tamed' singer's "fun-loving side … He gets concerned too."
We're guessing he wasn't thrilled about that penis cake, either. But we're willing to give the former 'Hannah Montana' starlet the benefit of the doubt. Just like Hemsworth had to lose weight to play Gale, maybe Cyrus is just staying in character for her part in 'LOL.'

The United Way of Henderson County says it has moved beyond being a charity and is now assuming the role of a community change agent.
The United Way of Henderson County says it has moved beyond being a charity and is now assuming the role of a community change agent.
Beginning with its 2014-15 funding cycle, the nonprofit has shifted its focus to encourage agencies to address by 2025 six community goals:
-- Increasing kindergarten readiness by 65 percent,
-- Improving school success of economically disadvantaged students,
-- Decreasing the number of individuals living in poverty by 30 percent,
-- Increasing affordable housing,
-- Reducing the percentage of obese adults and children,
-- And encouraging healthy youth behaviors.
United Way Marketing and Communications Coordinator Kristen Freeman said that in the past, programs and organizations received funding based on their ability to address a community need, but there were no measurable results required.
"Beginning with the 2014-15 funding cycle, we asked all agencies to look at how they could not only continue addressing a community need, but also partner with us at achieving one of our six target goals as described in HC 2025," Freeman said in an email to the Times-News.
Executive Director Ruth Birge said the United Way spent 20 months working with the school system, hospitals, local doctors and housing entities to identify their biggest areas of need.
"We actually collaborated with all of those folks and tried to find exactly the areas that they were trying to work on," Birge said. "For example, it is extremely important to the school system to have children ready to attend kindergarten, so that's when we did 'kindergarten readiness.' We found out there was about a 10 percent discrepancy in economically disadvantaged children in reading when they did the testing in the third and the eighth grade; that's something they wanted to dwell on, so that's when we came up with 'school success.'"
With changes to the job market locally, many have transitioned from manufacturing to service industry jobs, which Birge said has created a real need for financial literacy and security, since many families are earning less than they were before.
"On the health side, we went to prevention," Birge said. "We really thought that we needed to be working at prevention; with heart disease and diabetes rampant, we really thought that that's what needed to be done."
Birge said United Way is focused on education and prevention, which she hopes will lead to reaching its HC 2025 community goals, and United Way will continue to support basic needs and crisis support services.
"If we don't teach kids to read and we don't keep people healthy so they can actually go get a job and take care of themselves, then what exactly is it we're doing? So that's where HC 2025 came in," Birge said.
Many Henderson County nonprofit leaders say they have been preparing for the changes in funding that come along with HC 2025, and have been working to identify other sources of funding to supplement any reduction in money from the United Way. Because of UWHC's focus on the six goals in HC 2025, some organizations will see less funding for 2014-15 for programs that do not align with those goals.
UWHC received more than $1.7 million in requests for funding this year, but was only able to allocate the $914,528 received in donations.
"This means that on average, an agency requesting funding for the 2014-15 year only received around 50 percent of their request," Freeman said in an email to the Times-News. "Some agencies did not receive any allocated funds, while others received more than 50 percent. Ensuring that the limited number of dollars that UWHC has available to allocate is invested in programs that can make the greatest impact in our community as a whole has become the main priority of UWHC."
Among the nonprofits that received less overall funding from the United Way for the coming year are the Children and Family Resource Center, Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County, Thrive, the Free Clinics and Four Seasons Compassion for Life.
The directors of those agencies said they anticipated the funding shift associated with HC 2025 and are working to develop other fundraising sources.
Elisha Freeman, executive director of the Children and Family Resource Center, said UWHC's funding only makes up about 8 to 10 percent of her agency's overall $1.2 million budget. Although that money is huge for the programs it serves, like many nonprofits in the area, CFRC has a stream of revenue from private donations as well as grants to help cover costs.
This year, Freeman said the center has increased its funding goal by 23 percent and hopes to raise $400,000, which is back to CFRC's pre-recession goal amount. The increase in fundraising would cover the gaps in funding between all of its revenue streams.
"The demand (for our programs) is still really high, and there is not as much recovery there, but we saw the average gift size of our donors increase last year from the year before," Freeman said. "So I think for some parts of our community, the recovery has happened, and it's a little bit slower for those people in need."
Kevin Lauritsen, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County, said the club is starting to identify individuals and grant makers who will be able to help them fill funding gaps to continue serving the club's children and families.
"The next big fundraiser for us is the Women's High Tea in September, and then we've got the Fazio Invitational Golf Tournament at the very end of September," Lauritsen said. "Those have been on our plate for years and those are the two biggies coming up."
Thrive Executive Director Kristen Martin said she's been working with UWHC for the past two years in preparation for HC 2025, and the two organizations have had a very open relationship about the shift in UWHC's priorities for its funding.
Since Thrive primarily serves adults through its Abundant Wellness Program, Martin said she had anticipated a reduction in funding, and the nonprofit is planning a new fundraiser for the spring as well as identifying other grant opportunities.
"Children are our future, as the saying goes. If we can make it so folks don't need our services that we have in the future then, obviously, I would love for us to not be treating adults with severe mental illness that are still illiterate," Martin said. "I am their nonprofit campaign chair, for the United Way, and we're still very much collaborative and working together."
Pat Sells, acting director of the Free Clinics, said that even though the clinics experienced a reduction from previous years in funding from the United Way - and saw an increase in the number of those needing their services – the nonprofit will continue to provide the same level of service to the community this year. There will be no changes to its offerings.
"It's not a very big difference," Sells said. "It is a very small part of our budget, so we're applying for funding through other sources, and we anticipate receiving those."
Sells said the Free Clinics are currently gearing up for a summer concert by the Kruger Brothers, a band with bluegrass, folk and classical music elements, playing at 4 p.m. Aug. 14 at the Champion Hills Clubhouse, which will offer a light supper buffet and cash bar.
Dot Moyer, board chairman for Four Seasons Compassion for Life, said UWHC and Four Seasons work very closely together, and Four Seasons fully understands and supports UWHC's efforts.
Four Seasons' Heart Song program, a bereavement program for youth, did not meet the goals of HC 2025 and in turn did not receive UWHC funding for 2014-15.
Through the program, children learn about their grief from the loss of someone close to them and develop strategies that help them work through the process. Heart Songs provides education about children's grief processes and offers support for grieving children in individual and group settings. All programs offered by Heart Songs are free of charge.
"The Heart Songs program is really one that we're trying to get the community to understand how important it is to provide these services to children who have had these major losses, and a lot of them are not our patients' families," Moyer said. "They are just children in the community who have lost someone in a car accident or any number of things who never really come into Four Seasons until we go out and find them and give them the services that they need."
Moyer said Four Seasons would like to grow the program and intends to do so as it looks to garner community support.
For more information on Heart Songs or to register, call Susan Bumgarner at 233-0334.
Another organization that had a dramatic decrease in United Way funding is the Salvation Army.
Volunteer Coordinator Cheryl Gudger-Thompson said that because of two changes to the Salvation Army's leadership this past year, the organization missed its opportunity to apply for UWHC funding.
"It was out of the United Way's hands, and we're already working diligently with them to get into the next cycle. We had looked at the 2025 plan and understand how that's going and support that," Gudger-Thompson said.
She said they are looking into new grants as well as the possibility of a new fundraiser.
"We're hoping for local donations because we're going to need them," Gudger-Thompson said. "We're hopefully going to do some extra food drives as well to try to get more food in, because that is one of the places it would have covered is our food pantry."

A growing number of complaints about neglected animals are piling up at the Winnebago County Animal Services Department. Most of the complaints are filed by concerned neighbors, and the complaints often lead to the removal of several animals and sometimes criminal charges.
Carla Swimelar is one of several residents in this southside neighborhood to call animal services and police with concerns about this home. Complaints are about dozens of cats roaming in and out of the house and a terrible smell.
"I guess it was really bad. I mean one of the officers puked yesterday. Twenty three years on the job and the first time he's ever gotten sick going in a house," says carla.
Police and animal services investigated. On Monday afternoon, they removed two dogs, at least seven cats and the carcass of a dog.
Gary Longanecker is the director of Winnebago County Animal Services. He says in June alone, county animal services have removed pets from five area homes for negligence and health hazards.
"We feel it's a significant health risk to certainly family members but we're also very concerned about the animal welfare," says Gary.
Neighbors in this part of the city are glad to see the pets go and a condemned sign on the door of this home. But cats still lingered at outside and that's a big concern for an animal lover like Carla Swimelar.
"Half of them stay inside bad weather and everything. If you're going to have that many animals have a proper place for them," Carla adds.
Investigate these situations, and many times pet owners face criminal charges of animal abuse and neglect.

Parents, staff and community members discuss Island school safety
by Jessica Brophy
At a public forum held before the start of the monthly school board meeting on Wednesday, January 2, more than 20 parents, staff and community members aired concerns about school safety.
The forum was held as a response, in part, to the December 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. There, an armed individual broke into the school and killed 20 children and six adults before taking his own life.
Superintendent Mark Jenkins said the meeting was planned to allow the public to voice concerns about school safety on the island in light of that incident. Jenkins assured those present that safety protocol and lockdown plans are in place at both schools. Details of such plans are not publicized, as they would compromise their effectiveness. Elementary school principal Mike Benjamin said he had been contacted by law enforcement about setting up a walk-through of the school to discuss safety.
Jenkins said that while the Sandy Hook incident may be on everyone's mind, it is more typical for violent events at the school to involve irate parents, or parents involved in custodial issues or potentially abusing substances.
The majority of the discussion focused on the elementary school's potential safety weaknesses.
Jessica Gillen, who works at the elementary school as an ed. tech., said her primary concern is the central entrance. Those entering the front entrance have immediate access to the second floor, as the stairwell is located in the entrance.
Benjamin said building onto the entrance was a possibility.
Teacher Judy Rhodes said sometimes parents are offended when staff asks them who they are or what they are doing in the school. Benjamin said that in the wake of the Sandy Hook incident parents might be less insulted.
Elementary school Administrative Assistant Tiffany Dauk voiced a similar concern. "It's my job to know who's in the building," said Dauk. Visitors are supposed to check in with the office, but some people don't. Dauk said she's also concerned about the policy of allowing parents down the halls in the morning to drop off students at classrooms, as a parent could stay and the front office would not know the parent is still in the building.
Parent Shelley Graves asked whether a locked door with a system of buzzing in had been considered. Parent Amy Vaughn said having visitors wear a bright sticker might be a way to quickly identify someone who has checked in with the office.
Carol Bolton, who described herself as a "parent and now grandparent" of children in the school, asked whether there was something that Islanders could do to be prepared for a violent incident at the schools, as the response time of law enforcement can be 45 minutes or more.
Building on Bolton's comments, Stonington Fire Department captain Ryan Hayward said the schools should involve the local fire departments and the Memorial Ambulance Corps. "They're your first responders," said Hayward. "They're the first line of defense."
Benjamin said the Deer Isle Fire Department does a walk through of the school every year.
Hayward said he thought it would be a good idea to involve Stonington's fire department as well, as Stonington—and perhaps the Sedgwick Fire Department—would likely be called to the scene as well in an emergency situation. "I've never had a tour of the school," said Hayward, a parent who also coaches basketball in the elementary school. "There are guys on the department who maybe have never been to the school, who wouldn't know where to go."
Vaughn asked whether there had been a lockdown practice. Benjamin said such practice typically only involves staff training. Some audience members said they thought students should practice; another said sensitive students might be negatively affected by such drills.
There was some discussion of training and arming a select number of staff with non-lethal weapons meant to stop an attacker. Other suggestions included installing surveillance cameras, new shades for classroom doors and windows, more support for office staff, and a visual system for alerting law enforcement on the grounds or outside about the status or occupancy of a classroom during an emergency.
Teacher Mary Rees-Nutter said it was important to keep thinking about safety as budget planning begins. "The last few years, it's been scrimp, scrimp, scrimp," said Rees-Nutter. "We need to really talk about what our priorities are."
Jenkins noted that Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown had locked doors, and strong safety protocols. While it is important to improve safety, not every situation can be planned for. Jenkins said this would not be the last public forum on the issue, and the school board plans to take up the issue over the next several school board meetings.
