The Central Connecticut women's lacrosse team fell by a single goal in its season opener on Friday night at Lafayette. The Blue Devils (0-1) and Leopards (2-0) played a close game with neither team able to lead by more than three goals at any time.
Senior Meaghan McCurry led CCSU with four goals in the game. Her first score of the game was the 100th of her career. McCurry is just the third CCSU player to reach 100 career goals and she finished the game second on CCSU's career list with 104.
Trailing 1-0, the Blue Devils got on the board with a goal by McCurry at the 26:46 mark in the first half. MCCurry's goal came off a pass from senior Mackenzy Ryan.
Two minutes later senior Betsy Vendel gave CCSU its first lead of the season with her first goal of the year. Freshman Elyse Malecki delivered her first career assist on the score.
After a pair of goals by Lafayette, CCSU tied the game at 3-3 on McCurry's second goal of the season at the 14:06 mark. Senior Betsy Vendel followed with her second goal 90 second later to give CCSU a 4-3 lead. Vendel pushed CCSU's lead to 5-3 with her third goal of the game. This time it was sophomore Andrea Tarsi with the assist.
The Leopards scored a pair of goals late in the period to tie the score. The CCSU defense was shorthanded for both of the goals by a pair of yellow cards.
Ryan got the Blue Devils on the board at the 27:47 mark of the second half with a free position goal. Two minutes later McCurry picked up her hat trick and extended CCSU's lead to 7-5.
Between the 25:18 and 20:49 marks Lafayette scored four straight goals to take a 9-7 lead.
The Blue Devils cut into the Leopards advantage at the 15:51 mark when McCurry and Ryan teamed up for the second time in the game. McCurry's goal was her fourth of the game.
After two more goals by Lafayette, CCSU scored again when Vendel passed to Healy for CCSU's ninth goal of the game.
The Blue Devils pulled to a single goal deficit on Ryan's second goal of the game, a free position goal with 3:34 remaining in the game.
Unfortunately, the Blue Devils were unable to score again and Lafayette held on for a 11-10 victory.
Sophomore goalkeeper Morgan Tullar made 11 saves for the Blue Devils. She also had 4 ground balls.
CCSU was led by McCurry's four goals and three from Vendel. Vendel added an assist and Ryan had two goals and two assists to also total four points. Ryan also controlled a team-high five draws.
On defense, junior Ashley Olhausen caused three turnovers and senior Cierra Ward collected a pair of ground balls.
The Blue Devils return to action on Wednesday afternoon against Stony Brook. The game is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Arute Field and is CCSU's home opener.

Exceeding early afternoon predictions, Marvel's "The Avengers" earned $80.5 million at the domestic B.O. Friday, the second highest domestic opening day gross of all time behind "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II."
This figure includes an $18.7 million Thursday midnight take.
Internationally, the actioner has already earned $414.8 million, the highest int'l gross for a Marvel property, and this frame should mark a significant boost in that figure with the pic opening in overseas behemoths China and Russia ("Avengers" opened in 39 int'l markets last week).
The "Harry Potter" conclusion is outpacing "Avengers" by $10.5 million, and while it likely won't upset that record-holding order by Sunday, it stands a good chance of outperforming "The Dark Knight," current second placer with $158.4 million.
The key will be appealing outside of fanboy communities, which "Avengers" is capable of with kid favorite characters like the Hulk, and on repeat business from avid enthusiasts. And with 77% of screens playing the pic in 3D, it should see a healthy boost from the format.
On Friday, 3D constituted 60% of "Avengers'" take. Additionally, the actioner is seeing an even split between auds older and younger than 25, with almost two-thirds of auds male. Pic received an A+ Cinemascore.
Behind the superheroes, Sony/Screen Gems' "Think Like a Man" maintained a healthy hold with $2.7 million Friday for a domestic cume of $67.7 million. Following that, Warner Bros.' "The Lucky One" grossed $2 million, and Universal's "The Five Year Engagement" earned $1.7 million.
Fox Searchlight opener "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" opened in 27 locations with a per screen average of $7,298. Pic lands Stateside this frame after an int'l run accruing $70.4 million.

Hyderabad, Feb 20 (IANS) The two-day nationwide strike called by major trade unions evoked mixed response in Andhra Pradesh on the first day Wednesday, affecting financial services and coal mining. However, there was not much impact on transportation.
Bank services in Hyderabad and the rest of the state were totally paralysed as over 70,000 employees of public sector banks joined the strike. Work in insurance companies was also hit. Post offices also remained closed.
Coal production came to a halt in the mines of state-owned Singareni Collieries, with 65,000 workers across four districts of Telangana participating in the strike. Company officials said the strike would hit two lakh tonnes of coal production a day.
Police stepped up security at mines in Karimnagar, Khammam, Warangal and Adilabad districts to provide security to those who want to work.
The strike has also hit Vishakapatnam Steel Plant, another major public sector unit in the state. Over 10,000 permanent and contract employees of the plant joined the strike.
The shutdown also hit work at Vishakapatnam port, with employees staying away from work Wednesday.
Most of the buses of state-owned Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) plied normally in most places as National Mazdoor Union (NMU), the biggest union did not join the strike.
Autorickshaws were off the roads in Hyderabad and other towns in the early hours but most of them returned later, providing relief to commuters.
A section of employees of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) also joined the strike, which is likely to have an impact on sanitation in the state capital. The workers took out a rally in support of their demands.
The two-day strike has been called jointly by the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), Indian Trade Union Congress (INTUC), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC) and other such central organisations.
The trade unions are demanding concrete measures for containing inflation, steps for employment generation, universal social security, and making the minimum wage Rs.10,000 per month, along with daily allowance.
The trade unions took our rallies in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Tirupati and other places to highlight their demands.

Linux Compatibility on BSD for the PPC Platform: Part 5
Pages: 1, 2, 3
Emulating the U-dot zone
gdb was able to load, present its prompt to the user, and it was able to display the online help, but it was not possible to do anything actually useful with it. It was even impossible to launch a Linux program. This was not suprising because the Linux
ptrace() system call emulation was not yet implemented for the PowerPC.
In Unix systems, the
ptrace() system call is used almost exclusively by debuggers such as
gdb. It provides facilities for reading or writing the CPU register values during the program execution, stepping the program, and reading or writing the memory allocated to the traced program. All these operations are requested through
ptrace() commands such as
SETREGS, and so on. You can have a look to the
ptrace (2) man page if you want more information about
ptrace() commands.
ptrace() emulation is split into two parts. On one hand, a machine-independent part, located in
sys/compat/linux/common/linux_misc.c, and on the other hand, a machine-dependent part
linux_sys_ptrace_arch(), activated through the
LINUX_SYS_PTRACE_ARCH macro in
linux_sys_ptrace_arch() function is located in
sys/compat/linux/arch/powerpc/linux_ptrace.c for the PowerPC. The machine-independent part can handle some commands, such as reading or writing to the traced process memory, by calling the NetBSD native
ptrace implementation:
The machine-independent part of
ptrace() emulation,
linux_sys_ptrace_arch() should ideally implement the
GETFPREGS, and
SETFPREGS. The easier way to write the
linux_sys_ptrace_arch() function for the PowerPC was obviously to pick up the i386 version, and change what was really machine dependent. This includes all reference to CPU registers, and all references to data structures that do not exist on the PowerPC, for instance, the
u_debugreg field of
struct linux_user.
Operations on registers are quite straightforward to implement. Linux binaries expect reading and writing through a
pt_regs structure, defined in Linux's header
linux/include/asm-ppc/ptrace.h. The job is to get the registers and rearrange them appropriately.
The two tricky operations that help reading and writing the user structure are
PEEKUSER and
POKEUSER. Before explaining how we emulate these two commands, let us first introduce the user structure, also known as the U-dot zone.
When running several processes at once, the Unix kernel needs to maintain some information for each process. This process information is split into kernel-memory-based and user-process-memory-based parts. The kernel part of the information is stored in the
struct proc, which is defined in
sys/sys/proc.h on NetBSD. This structure contains data that must remain in main memory at all times (kernel memory is never swapped out). Kernel-based process information includes, for instance, the user owning the process. That information must always remain resident in main memory because we do not want a
ps -aux to cause some pages of each swapped out process to be reloaded into main memory.
The user-based, or "userland", process information is called the user structure. The information contained in the user structure is only needed when the process is running. On NetBSD, the user structure is defined as
struct user, in
sys/sys/user.h. On Linux, this is the
struct user, defined in
linux/include/asm-ppc/user.h. In kernel code, user structures used to be named "u", and therefore accessed in C through the
u.<field> syntax. Hence the "U-dot" name.
The NetBSD U-dot zone is rather small, because most of the fields in this structure were moved to other locations, including the kernel stack or
struct proc. On the other hand, Linux stores lots of information in the U-dot zone, such as text, data, and stack location and sizes. It also uses the U-dot zone to save user values of CPU registers of the traced process when entering kernel space. Linux's
gdb reads the U-dot zone to get and set the register values of the traced processes. For reading, this works because the traced process is stopped when
gdb does the operation.
gdb reads the latest values of the traced process registers before it was stopped and the CPU entered kernel space, saving the registers in the U-dot zone. For writing, it works because when the kernel runs the traced process again, it will restore the modified registers from the U-dot zone.
Now, let us examine how
PEEKUSER and
POKEUSER are emulated in NetBSD.
These two
ptrace() commands are used with three other arguments: the PID of the traced process, the address of the target field in the U-dot zone relative to the beginning of the U-dot zone, and a data field, used for write operations. As you can imagine, it is not trivial to emulate operations on the U-dot zone, because they involve manipulating fields of the U-dot zone that do not exist in NetBSD's U-dot zone: registers, stack location and size, and so on. We therefore have to check the target address, and return a value from another place in the kernel depending on the target address.
LUSR_OFF macro helps. It returns the address of a given field in the U-dot zone. Here is the definition of
LUSR_OFF, from
#define LUSR_OFF(member) offsetof(struct linux_user, member)
And here is some code that emulates reading the stack size, code location, and stack location from Linux's U-dot zone. As you can see, we grab the revelant information from locations in the
struct proc (
p is a pointer to the
struct proc of the current process):
if (addr == LUSR_OFF(u_ssize))
*retval = p->p_vmspace->vm_ssize;
else if (addr == LUSR_OFF(start_code))
*retval = (register_t) p->p_vmspace->vm_taddr;
else if (addr == LUSR_OFF(start_stack))
*retval = (register_t) p->p_vmspace->vm_minsaddr;
And here is a code snippet that emulates reading traced process registers from the U-dot zone:
error = process_read_regs(t, regs);
/* (snip) */
if (addr == LUSR_REG_OFF(lnip))
*retval = regs->pc;
else if (addr == LUSR_REG_OFF(lctr))
*retval = regs->ctr;
else if (addr == LUSR_REG_OFF(llink))
*retval = regs->lr;
ptrace() implemented,
gdb was able to start the traced program, but there was a remaining bug that made it unable to get a backtrace or to trace the program. We will examine the problem in the next section

Current Law Students / Re: Tales of tales« on: March 27, 2012, 03:46:55 PM »
One final point: among those who support the doctrine of Eternal Recurrence some say, it has an ethical and moral dimension. If one is to come and live this very life over and over again, one should try to live it in a way that one wants to come and relive it. That is, they tell us: "One should live it to the utmost, and without leaving anything regrettable." [...] However, it is not even necessary to conduct a controlled social experiment to see how this doctrine affects the majority of mankind. A social experiment several millenniums old, is still going on. Just look at India, a country that has lived under the shadow of karma and reincarnation for the longest time. It is a nation where Brahmins, the highest caste, have systematically ruled and dominated the whole society and kept the Sudra or chandala, (untouchables) as their footstools, without any hope, or dream of salvation.
Fatalism, or karma, does not tell people to live life to the fullest. It simply states one must accept ones fate, unquestioningly, and live it. If one accepted this philosophy one would have to say: "If I have already lived this same life many times before, and there is nothing for me to change, why talk to me about living life to the fullest? If my previous life was lived to the fullest, I will live it to the fullest again this time. If I have not done so in previous lives, then there is nothing I can do about it now. I am totally powerless." This is the logical result of Eternal Recurrence, or what we might correctly rename as: The Doctrine of Despair, which reduces human life to that of a marionette or puppet, where the strings are forever held in the hands of fate, creating a total paralysis in the mind of the individual and society. So, from either the scientific, or the moral and ethical standpoint, this is a philosophy of doom, and there is nothing much going for this doctrine. It is a totally bankrupt worldview.
[...] As for the ethical view of this philosophy, Nietzsche might not have known what poverty and squalor this fatalistic religion had brought to India. Otherwise, we don't believe he would advocate such an evil system to be introduced into European thinking. If, however, he knew full well of the paralyzing social effect of this doctrine in India, and still advocated it, then this would further prove Nietzsche's evil genius. Since his whole philosophy was centered on weaving the myth of the "Superman" and the "Super race," to rule over the earth, was he perhaps paving the way and preparing a moral code for the rest of us, the chandala, to accept and live by -- Eternal Recurrence? This could perhaps, explain why he considered it as a very crucial part of his philosophy? In that case, he meant it to serve as the final nail that would hold down the lid of the coffin he created. History, however, bears witness to the fact that it was the very "Superman" and the "Super race" Nietzsche created with the myth of his philosophy that were buried in, and nailed in that very coffin -- Hitler and his followers.
Interesting take, grass! The Eastern religions undoubtedly rely much more on "non-existence" vs. "existence," "absence" vs. "presence," "holes" vs. "fullness," such that one begins to think what is the whole point of acting, of being "active," in life - I was reading the other day, a post here about that Sartre kind of philosopher, who's literally saying, "suicide is an option in the real sense of the word" - the guy who's writing during the days of being captured by the Nazis and @ # ! * e d in the ass regularly?!
I mean, don't get me started with the French, with Philippe Pétain proclaiming the defeat of France by Germany, without any resistance at all, offering that lousy excuse that "Paris would be destroyed"? With the French whores entertaining the German soldiers during the War years and then claiming they had "class"? So, I wouldn't be surprised with the idiotic Sartre contemplating suicide versus some kind of showing the other guy that he stood for something!
From what I see, there are, in fact, parallels between Eastern philosophy and existentialism! Western people are not used to this kind of stuff, are we?! The Western philosophy is more about "action," rather than "inaction," "doing," rather than "being done." Please tell me if I am wrong!
Come on, they say Nietzsche was a repressed homosexual who could not act on his feelings, and went on to write tales of tales of stuff about the "ascetic" and the like ... doesn't that tell you something about someone who's trying to run from himself and is not fully able to?!

A state-of-the-art water recycling facility build adjacent to the Geelong refinery is reducing Geelong's drinking water demand by around two billion litres a year.
The water recycling plant produces Class A recycled water suitable for industrial use in Geelong's northern suburbs.
The plant uses cutting-edge treatment technologies including biological treatment, ultra-filtration, and reverse osmosis.
Construction began on the plant in March 2011. It was officially opened in April 2013.
The plant is built on industrial land adjacent to Station Street, Corio. The site borders crude oil storage tanks at the Geelong Refinery.
The construction site has been revegetated with indigenous plants, and is set back from the street to minimise visual impact.
The Northern Water Plant uses a biological treatment process to breakdown sewage. Naturally occuring microscopic organisms digest the sewage under ideal conditions.
The treated water is further refined through ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis systems, removing microscopic particles and resulting in high quality Class A recycled water. For more information see our videos, below.

"Since there's no such thing as flat, round hot dogs"
Well, you *could* take a half-inch thick slice of a big smoked & cooked Lyoner-style sausage and fry it lightly, dress it with ketchup, mustard, and a chunk of a cucumber/pepper relish, and place it in a bun. That'll give you what the Swedes call "parisare" (meaning "someone from Paris"). This random blogpost has a decent photo:
(invented in the fifties, apparently, inspired by a sandwich served on a late flight from Paris to Stockholm).
But the burger dogs looks pretty yummy as well. Happy 4th of July, y'all.

As I write this from the Living Hell Known as San Diego, your reference in the posting to "The City" (capital "T," capital "C") made me homesick. Only a true San Franciscan refers to The City as The City.

I had a similar thought. However, around here (Buffalo, New York), we call it a fried bologna (or Irish steak)sandwich.

My father and I have been making these for years. We call them 'long neck burgers' and they are a huge hit. Nice video.

The burning question to me is: do they cook faster because of the larger surface area? The perennial problem at a bbq is that hot dogs are less valued than burgers but cook 2-3 times more quickly.

what other ways can we cook the burger dog cos i dont have the griller?

ScareSchool, great question! Chef John is away on a well deserved vacation, so I will be answering questions meanwhile. If you don't have a grill, you can prepare the burgers in a cast iron skillet or a regular skillet directly on your stove.
You could also broil them in your oven. Good luck!

Chef John,
9 was browsing some bad infomercials and found that they're using your burger dog picture for this thing called the "Ham Doggie", a generally useless kitchen gadget to make the burger dogs like yours...
its on hamdoggieoffer dot com, i thought i'd just let you know they used your picture without your permission.

Submission + - Oracle vs. Google: Who Owns The Java APIs? (infoworld.com)
snydeq writes: "Fatal Exception's Neil McAllister sees Oracle's suit against Google boiling down to calling dibs on the Java APIs, and if the court agrees, this will be bad news for developers everywhere. 'Oracle's argument is roughly akin to me claiming that because I own the copyright to a book of commonly used English phrases, publishers of Shakespeare need to pay me royalties. If it holds true for Java, it will hold true for any programming language, from any source. That could radically change the relationship between developers and platform vendors,' McAllister writes. 'For one thing, it raises questions about programming language licensing. If the most basic language APIs can be copyrighted, would that not in effect make any program written in any language a derivative work of that language's APIs? How would that work in practice? Who would developers have to pay? What rights would they have to sign away?'"

Sir Alex Ferguson will be looking to cement his side's place at the top of the Premier League table when Manchester United take on Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The leaders head into the game against the struggling Black Cats off the back of last Sunday's dramatic derby triumph over reigning champions Manchester City, while Martin O'Neill's men are in good spirits their 3-0 victory over Reading at the Stadium of Light on Monday night.
Sunderland will also take confidence from the fact they travel to Manchester this weekend with the only manager to have won twice at Old Trafford with two different clubs during the Premier League era, though in order to make it a hat-trick of victories, they will have to quash the threat posed by frequent tormenter Robin van Persie.
With seven goals in nine appearances against the Wearsiders, the Dutchman will be looking to add to the 14 goals he has scored already for his new club this season, as his partnership with Wayne Rooney in attack continues to blossom.
Manchester United have kept only three clean sheets in the league this season, but could be boosted in defence by the return of captain Nemanja Vidic, who has been sidelined since September following knee surgery.
Jonny Evans is likely to make way after he came off with a hamstring injury against Manchester City, and he joins midfield duo Nani and Anderson on the treatment table.
Anders Lindegaard is available again after he missed the clash at the Etihad Stadium to be with his wife who gave birth last week, but David De Gea could keep his place in goal after an impressive performance.
Manchester United starting XI:
De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Carrick, Cleverley Valencia, Young; Rooney, Van Persie.

How Does My Doctor Know I Have Breast Cancer
If you're having symptoms of breast cancer or have something suspicious that has shown up on a previous test, your doctor will want to follow up. Your doctor is likely to ask you questions about these things:
- Your medical history
- Your family history of cancer
- Any exposure to other risk factors, such as high doses of radiation
In addition to asking questions, your doctor may also perform one or more of the following exams or tests:
- Clinical breast exam
- Mammography
- Ultrasound
Each of these tests is described in detail below.
Clinical breast exam
Feeling your breast can help your doctor figure out the size and texture of any abnormalities. Noncancerous lumps, called benign lumps, often feel different from cancerous ones. First you will remove your clothes from the waist up. Then your doctor will look to see if your breasts have changed in any way, such as in shape or size. As you sit and lie down in different positions, the doctor will feel for any lumps. If your doctor feels a lump, you may need other tests, such as a mammogram or ultrasound.
Mammograms are quick and easy, though the test itself may be uncomfortable. You undress from the waist up, covering your upper body with a wrap provided by your doctor. Then you stand in front of an X-ray machine. Tell the staff if you have trouble standing so they can help make you more comfortable. A technician, usually a woman, will help position your breast on the X-ray plates. The plates squeeze together to flatten the breast so that the X-ray machine can get a clear picture of the breast tissue. The pressure of the plates may pinch a little, and the positioning of your body can be uncomfortable, but it usually lasts for only a few seconds. Tell the technician how you feel and she will help you find a position that is as comfortable as possible. The whole process lasts about 20 minutes.A mammogram is an X-ray of your breast. It can give the doctor important information about a breast lump. Some facilities use digital mammography, which also uses X-rays, but collects data on the computer, instead of on film. If something looks unusual, more mammograms or other tests may be needed.
You'll be more comfortable if you schedule your mammogram about a week after your period. Your breasts may be tender during menstruation and the time leading up to it, which can make the test more uncomfortable.
To make sure that you get the most reliable results, follow these tips:
- Don't wear deodorant or body powder on the day of your mammogram. It can show up as dark spots on the X-rays and interfere with the radiologist's ability to check the condition of your breasts.
- Stand perfectly still during the mammogram. If you move, the results might be blurry, and then you'll need to have those pictures taken again.
- If you've had previous mammograms or biopsies at another facility, bring a list of the dates and locations where these were done. If possible, bring the actual mammograms themselves. It's a good idea to get these from your old facility if you decide to switch to a new one.
- Choose your mammography facility with care. Your facility should have a prominently posted FDA certificate stating that it meets the required standards of safety and quality. If it doesn't, you have every right to ask to see it. If they don't have this certificate, go somewhere else. Try to have your mammograms at the same facility each year. The longer a facility does your screening, the more familiar they are with your records, and the more likely they are to catch any changes.
You should have the results within 10 days. If there's a problem, you'll hear from the doctor within 5 working days. If you don't hear anything, don't assume that no news is good news. Follow up.
An ultrasound uses sound waves to find out whether a lump is solid or filled with fluid (a cyst). This exam may be used along with mammography. During an ultrasound, your doctor or a technician spreads a thin coating of lubricating jelly over the area to be imaged. A hand-held device called a transducer directs the sound waves through your skin toward specific tissues. As the sound waves are reflected back from the breast tissues, the patterns formed by the waves create a two-dimensional image of the breast on a computer. The test doesn't take long and is painless.
How your doctor uses these test results
These exams may help your doctor decide whether or not you need any more tests or treatment. If any of these test results suggest that cancer may be present, your doctor may need to remove a small amount of breast tissue, usually with a needle. This is called a biopsy. A doctor will suggest doing a biopsy when something suspicious is found in one or more of the tests above.
If you've been seeing your primary care doctor for screening up until this point, your doctor may refer you to a surgeon or another doctor who has experience with breast diseases and biopsies to perform the procedure. A biopsy is the only way to definitively diagnose breast cancer.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) He's battled kidney problems all his life, and even had a kidney transplant once before, but the family of a Lexington teenager says he needs another transplant to save his life.
This weekend, a fundraiser is being held in his honor to help raise money for medical expenses.
WKYT's Jordan Vilines has the story:
Pull up a chair next to 16-year-old Braxton Upthegrove and you'll quickly learn a lot about the Henry Clay Sophomore.
You'll learn how, in some ways, he's just like other teenagers. "Some days we stay after school for basketball practice and learn the plays," Braxton told us.
You'll also learn many ways he's not like other teens. "I'm responsible for taking my medicine and getting myself hooked up at night."
Since Braxton was born, keeping him healthy has been an uphill battle.
"At age four, he went into complete kidney failure and had his first transplant at six. He's 16 now and two years ago that kidney failed due to illness," said Braxton's mother, Michelle Upthegrove.
Even though Braxton's name is now on a list in three regions, time is ticking but the family is still holding out hope.
"We are going to reach somebody at some point and it's going to be through the things like we are doing this Sunday and its going to happen."
This Sunday at Austin City Saloon, folks who Braxton's family has never even met will host a fundraiser for Braxton.
"I just like the people who are helping me out and trying to find me an organ donor."
"This event coming up is through total strangers, we have never met them. They put it into place and they are handling everything just because they heard his story," Michelle Upthegrove says.
And hopefully, this 16-year-old's story about perseverance and perspective will inspire others--- others who may even be able to save Braxton's life.
Braxton's fundraiser will be held this Sunday, November 10th, at 1:00 at Austin City Saloon in Lexington.
The event was organized by Tony Moore and will feature musicians from Kentucky and Ohio. Donated items will also be auctioned off.

EVO 83 or 91
for the new season I'm planning to buy an EVO 83 or 91 as my standard wave board. The problem is I'm still doubting which one to buy. These days I'm sailing an old F2 wave 85L of 2002. With my waight of 91 kg this board is ok when the conditions get above 21 knots. Below it feels like it'll never gonna plane.
I mostly gonna use the board in the following conditions:
- sailsizes 4.7, 5.4, 5.8
- wind 18 till 30 knots
- mostly dutch north sea conditions (crumbly wave of 1,5 till 2,5m)
For the next year I prefer to use one board in all conditions. The problem is that I think the 91 really gets to big if I want to use it in 4.7 conditions with 25-30kn of wind. So my main question for the 91 is: Can I handle the heavier wind condition with this board? (looking at my weight)
The 83 looks to small for me when it comes to light wind conditions. I'm not sure of this because the concept of the board differs a lot with the 85 F2 wave I'm using now. So my main question for the 83 is: Am I not to heavy to use this board in light wind conditions? (18kn, 5.8)
It would be really nice to get some advice at this point. Thank you very much.
Greetings, Stefan van der Putten

RE: EVO 83 or 91
Hi There,
I am 73kg and always use the Evo 83 when I go wave sailing my sail sizes are from 5.0 down to 4,5 here on the island of bonaire we usually get wind 15-30 knots and the evo 83 it's perfect for me.
Sooo since you are 91kg my opinion is go with the evo 91 you will have a blast when the wind is low to mediun and when you use a smaller sail you won't feel a big diffrent. because the board still feels good.

RE: EVO 83 or 91
While I'm much ligher myself, I still belive the E83 is useable with a 5.8 in 18 knots at 91 kilos. It will definitely be a low volume solution and you will notice this at standstill for sure. But once going (even below planing) and especially on a wave, you will notice the E83 is very, very efficient. The E91 will surely be a far better board for 5.8 conditions, but it will also be harder to handle and feel less natural once you're powered up.
But as an all round wave board, I think the E83 will be it. I think it will blow you away in powered up 5.4 and in 4,7 conditions and handle the 5.8 noticeable better than the F2, I think. If you're sailing lots of 18-20 knot sailing and are willing to make performance in these conditions a big priority, the 91 is it. Even at my sub 70 kilos its possible to handle with a 5.0 so I don't think you will have too much aof a hard time of it with a 4.7.

RE: EVO 83 or 91
I weigh 83 kg and although my Evo 92 is my most used board, I prefer my 5.8 on my Evo 80. So I agree with Ola that for your specifications I would go with the E83

RE: EVO 83 or 91
A lot of the small guys don??t seem to realise how it is to weigh +90kg. I??m 92 kg and would definitly go for the 91 as a one board solution. I use a 91 liter 60 wide board from 4.2 to 6.2. I think it??s better to go for a bigger board and then use a smaller sail. IF you choose the 83 you will have to use the 5.8 a lot of times when you could go sailing with a 5.3 and the 91. It??s more fun to ride waves with a smaller sail.

RE: EVO 83 or 91
Hi Doby,
With my 83kg and history of arguing with the "small guys" I am finding it different to be lumped in with them. I do agree with your point that with someone who is heavier needs to go with a larger sail as I am typically 1 - 2 meters bigger than my friends; however I think that your point on more fun to ride the waves with a smaller sail is preference. I would prefer the 5.8 on my E80 then my 5.3 on my E92 as I find that set up more manoeuvrable and fun. But then I sail my 9.0 Superfreak with my Aero 117 in the waves when others are raving about their small sails on the new Maui longboard revolution. So if we all give our perspective perhaps everyone can go with their preference.

RE: EVO 83 or 91
Doby: good you're setting us light weights straight. But seriously, many 90+ sailors do use the EVO 83 and many use the 91. It's a matter of how you want to compromise, and that depends on style, skill, conditions etc and its very hard to say which boards is THE ONE.

RE: EVO 83 or 91
I couldn't resist commenting on the weight thing. About 2 1/2 years ago I was up at about 88kg, but currently I'm weighing in around 70kg. Despite the significant variance, things really aren't that all that different for me now. I still pretty much use the same sail sizes for the conditions, but I should point out that I've always preferred using somewhat larger sails than many. The thing I do notice though is that I can get away with a little less board volume when the conditions are up and down
However, in the real world, I do realize that the real big guys over 100kg really do have to size everything up, particularly board volume, otherwise they're suffering big time if the wind lightens. Given a focus on wave sailing, especially in the best conditions where lighter wind usually offers the cleanest shape, I think bigger guys need to target a bit more board volume to get the most versatility. This becomes even more important in onshore type conditions where getting out makes things a bit tougher. The good thing about many of todays wave boards is that the manufacturers are now making real wave boards that offer sufficient volume for bigger sailors.

Mark Gregory, 38, of Spartanburg has opened a franchise for the faith-based landscape management firm The Ground Guys, headquartered in Waco, Texas.
A local landscaper hopes to claim some new turf.
Mark Gregory, 38, of Spartanburg has opened a franchise for the faith-based landscape management firm The Ground Guys, headquartered in Waco, Texas.
Gregory, who has 24 years of experience in the industry, will cater to residential and commercial customers in Spartanburg County, offering a spate of services that span everything from pulling weeds to building rock walls.
"I'm so excited to be able to bring The Ground Guys concept to Spartanburg," said Gregory, former owner of Guardian Professional Horticultural Services Inc. off John Dodd Road. "The systems they have in place are amazing. That's what really attracted me to the company. It allows me the support I need to focus on my horticultural background."
Gregory said he has hired four employees and hopes to double that number over the next few months. In the future, he plans to expand his services to Greenville County.
The Ground Guys concept is based on five core values: clean, shiny trucks; friendly, uniformed personnel; a 3-hour callback guarantee; state-of-the-art equipment, sharpened daily; and quality control reports delivered monthly.
Gregory said he became interested in horticulture after taking a class at Dorman High School when he was 14.
After graduating from Dorman in 1992, he went on to get an Associate's Degree from then Spartanburg Technical College.
Gregory continued his education at Clemson University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry, with a minor in horticulture.
He lives in Spartanburg with his son Andrew, who is 8 years old. He attends Restoration Church of Spartanburg and participates in the church's People Who Care Center, giving away free meals every Tuesday and Wednesday to those in need.

Goffstown teacher honored with prestigious math educator award
GOFFSTOWN — Lynn Tassi, a seventh-grade teacher at Mountain View Middle School, is passionate about her work and wants students to see the fun in learning math.
Because of Tassi's passion, creativity and innovation in teaching math, she won the 2014 Richard C. Evans Distinguished Mathematics Educator Award on March 17.
Tassi said while she is grateful to receive the honor, the award holds a special meaning for her.
"Dr. Evans was my college professor and adviser. I hold him in such high esteem," said Tassi. "He was so innovative and inspiring. He was very patient and easy to approach, and very supportive."
When Tassi was pursuing her degree in kindergarten through elementary education with a minor in math at then-Plymouth State College, she learned elementary functions and teaching methods from Evans. He retired from the university in December 2006, after more than 40 years as a mathematics teacher.
Tassi, of Dunbarton, strives to instill a love of learning math in her students as she tries to develop their confidence through hands-on tools and different learning techniques, she said.
"I want them to leave me knowing they can do it and strive as much as they can achieve. I know it's high expectations, but I hope I can be as infectious as Dr. Evans was to me," she said.
Principal Wendy Hastings said Tassi has been a wonderful teacher in her 19 years at Mountain View Middle School — Tassi's first job out of college.
"Lynn is infectious, bright and motivated. Lynn exemplifies great teaching," said Hastings.
"The Mountain View Middle School community is so fortunate to have such a dynamic, student-centered professional on our staff. She helps teachers in this building move with the times so teaching is up to par."
As award recipient, Tassi receives $500, which may be used at her discretion; a plaque; a free, one-year membership to the New Hampshire Teachers of Mathematics association; becomes an honorary board member for one year with an invitation to attend quarterly board meetings to help design and implement activities for members; an invitation to present at the spring conference in 2015; she may contribute articles for the quarterly newsletter; and is encouraged to develop professional development opportunities for teachers.
"I do what I do because I love what I do and I strive to improve daily and yearly," said Tassi. "I'm very grateful to be able to have been an educator for this school district for the 19 years I've been here."
Past recipients include: 2008, Greg Superchi, Lisbon Regional High School, Lisbon; 2009, Stephanie Wheeler, Henry Wilson School, Manchester; 2010, Greta Mills, Hanover High School; 2011, Dr. Beverly Ferrucci, Keene State College; 2012, Christine Downing, Newport School District; and 2013, Lisa Gingras, Nashua High School South.

The Environmental Finance Center (EFC) of Syracuse University recently issued a RFP for rural communities to conduct an asset management inventory for their water or waste water systems. The program will award mini-grants of up to $5,000 to provide rural municipalities with the proper tools and resources to fully conduct an inventory. An asset management inventory can serve as a useful first step for creating an asset management plan, which can then be used as a decision-making tool to aid municipalities in the development of a capital management plan.
All proposals must be received by 5 pm on January 3, 2014. Awards will be announced no later than February 1, 2014. Work must be completed by August 31, 2014. For more information, visit the EFC website.

Susan Swanson showed no emotion when a jury convicted her of impaired driving causing death and leaving the scene of a deadly accident.
After less than 10 hours of deliberations, the jury presented the verdict to a courtroom filled with members of Alejandro Salinas's family. Salinas is the man Swanson hit with her car when he was walking along Grand River Avenue in Meridian Township during the early morning hours of July 31, 2002.
Swanson quickly exited the courtroom and posted 10-percent of her $20,000 bond after she heard the verdict. She remarked, "I'm very disappointed," as she left the courtroom.
Swanson's attorneys say it's too early to know whether they will appeal the case. They did talk to some of the jurors in the case after the trial was complete.
Meanwhile, prosecutors say Swanson now faces up to fifteen years behind bars when she is sentenced in November.
Salinas's family members hugged and cried in the hallway outside of the courtroom. They say they breathed a huge sigh of relief when the jury read the guilty verdict.

When Manuel Gomes first arrived in Boston eight years ago, his future looked grim. He emigrated with his mother and two brothers, leaving other brothers and sisters home with family in the small island of Cape Verde off the western coast of Africa. Gomes spent his first few years in a small Dorchester apartment. Like many kids, he sought camaraderie. "I did not speak English and, with my new group of friends, I found myself getting into trouble a lot," explained Gomes.
Manuel is not the only young person in our city that has found trouble. Sometimes faced with few options other than the immediately visible and the deep teenage need for acceptance, kids get in over their heads quickly. Year in and year out, summers bring a rash of violence in troubled Boston neighborhoods — often with tragic results, both for the young men and women finding themselves the perpetrators of such crime and for the innocent standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. And this summer is unfortunately no different, with reports showing a spike in violence already.
The only way to shift away from the violence is to build an alternative culture, a culture of mentoring and positive leadership development. For years, summer jobs and programs have provided Boston's at-risk youth with positive opportunities in which to invest their time. However like most years that funding is at risk in the Massachusetts Legislature. Recognizing that funding challenges will continue, there are other ways we can collaborate to provide meaningful learning opportunities for students outside of the classroom. First and foremost, we can't become desensitized to the frequency of violence and we must remain vigilant about being part of the solution toward creating safe havens so desperately needed by today's youth.
The Catholic Charities Teen Center at St. Peter's does and has been doing exactly that for the past 10 years, serving as a safe haven for adolescents in one of Dorchester's most troubled areas — the Bowdoin Street/Geneva Avenue area. Through critical outreach efforts and extensive programming, the Teen Center has been successful in helping to interrupt the rapidly expanding cycle of violence. Specifically, 92 percent of the Teen Center members pass the MCAS and TOEFL tests, 92 percent graduate high school, less than one percent have been arrested and none have been killed. This is all the more dramatic when considering that the local public high school has a 41 percent graduation rate and ranks 330 out of 339 in state-wide MCAS scores; and Dorchester has Boston's highest juvenile arrest rate, and violent crime rate.
Realizing that providing a safe physical location isn't enough, the Teen Center works to engage kids through a variety of innovative programming like academic support, dance, theatre, music production, and karate. In addition, the Center seeks to attract kids as young as middle-school with unique offerings such as the boxing program overseen by DEA agent Paul Doyle. One of the most important effects of the program comes from the interactions between teens and the police officers. The kids see officers in a different light and perspective when they're working together, with some expressing interest in joining the force as a career, and the officers gain insight into the realities these young people are facing on a daily basis.
In addition to the important partnership between the Teen Center and the Boston Police Department, this program is a also an example of the need to form meaningful relationships with kids at a young age so as to stem violence and get kids vested in being on the right path. By reaching kids at a younger age, the hope is that a greater and lasting impact can be made.
As for Manuel, he started going to the Teen Center not long after he arrived to Boston. It wasn't until two years later when he received his first report card as a freshman at Boston International High School in Dorchester highlighted with A's and B's that he "stepped back and found hope." Manuel now is a student at Bridgewater State University and today he has a path planned — one of his choosing — filled with empathy, resiliency and perseverance.
Manuel is a young man who could have fallen into the cycles of violence to which so many are victim. But he is a shining example of how the investment of time, mentorship and education can allow young people to excel to their highest potential. We can't be numb to realities or daunted by funding shortfalls. All parties — community and civic organizations, schools, city and state government, educators, parents, businesses and the list goes on — need to come together in partnership to address the challenges in the summer and beyond.Deborah Kincade Rambo is president of Catholic Charities of Boston.

The Ohio University Alumni Association's (OUAA) Greater Charlotte, N.C., Chapter Network hosted its 10th annual Charlotte Networking Week Feb. 21-23, 2013. The three-day event connected 43 current OHIO students with 80 OHIO alumni who provided professional shadowing opportunities, employer site visits, panel discussions, networking sessions and a "Living in Charlotte" tour.
The Chapter's annual Alumni Banquet capped off the week and included a keynote address by Tim Reynolds, founding director of the Robert D. Walter Center for Strategic Leadership in the College of Business (COB). Reynolds earned his bachelor's from OHIO's COB in 1987 and has 25 years of corporate experience leading Fortune 500 companies.
"It was an incredible networking opportunity that allowed me to connect with a number of OU alumni," Carole Ivan, a senior in the COB, said. "It just proves that whether you graduated in 1970 or 2012, you'll always be a Bobcat and willing to help any fellow Bobcat."
Charlotte Networking Week was established to bring current students together with alumni living and working in Charlotte and is an opportunity for students to learn about an area that is home to more than 1,700 OHIO alumni.
"I've been to Charlotte Networking Week a few times and this year takes the cake. The alumni panels were engaging and helpful, and the banquet allowed me additional time to interact with Bobcat alumni," said Nykki Chihil, a senior in the COB. "With my best friends at my side, we realized Charlotte is the best place Bobcats go when they have to leave Athens and 'grow-up'."
Planning for this year's event was led by outgoing Chapter President TJ Simonik, a 2007 COB graduate, and current Chapter President Jackie Volkmann, a 2008 COB graduate.
"I couldn't be more proud to work with such dedicated and talented alumni who tirelessly volunteer their time, talent and treasure in such a meaningful way to help future alumni on their path to career success," Dawn Werry, OUAA interim senior director, said. "It's an honor to meet such focused and engaged students who take their future so seriously."
The week featured teacher shadowing as well as company visits to and/or shadowing opportunities at American City Business Journals, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Carolina Panthers Stadium, Container Graphics Corp, Duke Energy, Electrolux, Exopack Advanced Coatings, Premier Healthcare Alliance and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Alumni panel discussions covered media, public relations and journalism; finance and accounting; information technology and project management; and industry sales.
"This past week was an eye opening opportunity to view my future in my career after talking to alumni during the career panels," said Cameron Clinger, a junior in the COB. "Shadowing and viewing companies was extremely helpful for creating the necessary objectives to achieve a position in Charlotte N.C. The welcoming hospitality from Alumni was very pleasant for me, and I cannot thank you enough."
To participate in next year's Charlotte Networking Week or for more information about opportunities to connect with OHIO alumni, contact the OUAA at 740-593-4300 or email@example.com.

AMD's Trinity
It has been a busy spring for chip maker AMD. In May, AMD launched Trinity, the code name for its second-generation A-Series processors that it is positioning as a low-power, graphically superior alternative to Intel's Core i5 Ivy Bridge parts. Trinity does exceed the graphics performance of the prior generation Llano processor, and it has been optimized for notebook gaming and multimedia playback with a thermal design power of 17 watts, compared with the 25-watt TDP of Llano. The Core i5's TDP ranges between 45 and 77 watts.
In June, AMD announced that it had inked a deal with processor-IP rival ARM to license Cortex-A5 cores for use in AMD's own x86-based processors. The alliance is part of a new AMD initiative to integrate Cortex A5-native TrustZone security into AMD's 2013 mobile processor lineup. The move parallels Intel's strategy to integrate security into its hardware platforms.

Hello guys, first of all I would like to introduce my self.. My name is Jason I'm not a web developer I'm an SEO specialist for about 3 years now.

LAKE PLACID - Lake Placid High School students will take to the stage this weekend to perform "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," adapted by J. Michael Straczynski.
Senior Tony Miller, director of the play, was busy preparing the actors at Tuesday night's dress rehearsal. Miller said he chose "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" because he has always wanted to direct a classic fairy tale.
"Originally, I wanted to do 'Alice in Wonderland' or one of the classic fairy tales," Miller said. "So this was a good number. I had done it before when I was younger."
The play is a senior project for Miller and is the second play he has directed this year. In September he directed the school's annual murder mystery.
It is the fifth play for ninth-grader Laine Ridenour, who is set to fill the leading role, Snow White. Senior Trevor Knapp will be the prince and senior Veronica Zayonc the evil queen.
Ridenour said learning the play so far has been a lot of fun and she felt very lucky to get the part.
Cheryl Megliore, mother of ninth-grader Paige Megliore, was the student chaperone during the rehearsal.
"My daughter will play one of the witches, the apple-bearing witch," she said.
She said it has been a wonderful experience watching Miller direct.
"I've known Tony since he was in nursery school," she said. "He's always been in the arts."
She added that the play is really coming together.
"Snow White" will run 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2 in the high school auditorium.
Admission to the play is free, but donations will be collected for the school Drama Club as well as Miller's AP environmental project.

T.J. Lane, 17, appears in Juvenile Court in Chardon, Ohio, on Thursday. He is charged in the Feb. 27 Chardon High School rampage that left three students dead and two students seriously wounded.
AP Enlarge
CHARDON, Ohio — A 17-year-old boy will be tried as an adult in the Ohio school shooting deaths of three students, a juvenile court judge ruled Thursday.
Authorities say T.J. Lane admitted firing at students sitting at a cafeteria table at Chardon High School east of Cleveland on Feb. 27, killing three students and seriously wounding two.
Geauga County Juvenile Court Judge Timothy Grendell ruled that Lane should be tried as an adult.
The judge said he found probable evidence in all six charges for which Lane is charged, including aggravated murder charges. He rejected a defense request to release Lane on a $500,000 bond and said Lane would pose a risk to flee and a safety risk to the community.
At a hearing Thursday, a police officer testified that Lane admitted killing the victims but didn't know why he did it. Sheriff's Deputy Jon Bilicic said that Lane was wearing a T-shirt with the word "Killer" when he was arrested about one mile from the school.
One of the first officers at the scene, Chardon Patrolman Matt DeLisa, testified that he found the victims near a cafeteria table with lots of blood around.
Lane could face life in prison if he's convicted. Minors are not eligible for the death penalty in Ohio.
Had his case been routed to juvenile court, the maximum possible penalty would have kept him jailed until he turned 21.
Grendell previously found the teenager mentally competent to stand trial in juvenile court, where he was charged with three counts of aggravated murder and two counts of attempted aggravated murder. Grendell said the ruling on mental competency may not be used in other legal proceedings, meaning the issue may be revisited in adult court.
A psychiatrist had testified Lane suffers from hallucinations, psychosis and fantasies, but that none of the symptoms detailed in a mental evaluation would prevent him from understanding the case against him and helping in his defense. The psychiatrist said he saw no evidence that Lane was faking mental illness.
Lane attended an alternative school for students who haven't done well in traditional schools; he had been at Chardon waiting for a bus.
Joyce said Lane has admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to the high school and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, though Joyce apparently has ruled out theories involving bullying or drug dealing.

Twitter stock is trading at $45.69, which reflects a 75.7% rise from the $26 offering price.
The newly-minted public shares of Twitter (TWTR) opened at $45.10 per share, well ahead of conservative predictions.
Twitter sold 70 million shares in its initial public offering, raising $1.8 billion after the offering price was set Wednesday night. At a price at or above the opening, the profitless social media darling has a rather astounding market value of somewhere above $31 billion.
To determine the value of a company like Twitter without earnings, investors and analysts are calculating a multiple relative to sales. That metric now reflects a significant premium to companies like Facebook (FB), LinkedIn (LNKD) and Yelp (YELP). Sterne Agee analysts calculate that at a $27 price, Twitter's multiple of enterprise value to estimated 2015 sales is 11.8 times, compared to 8.5 times for high-growth peers.
Yet many Wall Street analysts are quiet today, despite their penchant for publishing on the slightest corporate news. Those whose firms are involved in the offering may be limited in what they can say. But others aren't going out on any limbs in the first hours of the IPO, or didn't bet on a $40-something price.
"Twitter would make more sense between $18 and $20. A $31 billion market cap is really too much. For investors, pick your price. Wait until the February or May lockup expirations. Many venture capitalists, founding investors, will be wanting to sell their shares," said Hilary Kramer, chief investment officer at A&G Capital in an interview on Bloomberg at noon today. "You will see Twitter bottom out as Facebook did, and then come back."
"I believe you will see the banks support Twitter in the 40s today."
No one wants to see Twitter shares flop a la Facebook – traded on the NASDAQ — in its public offering. It was one of the largest IPOs in history, but the shares fell to earth from their initial highs.
Twitter stock didn't start trading with the rest of the New York Stock Exchange listings at 9:30 a.m. Market makers were busy matching buyers and sellers. Bloomberg intially reported the Twitter bid was $40 and ask, $44. At around 10:30 a.m., NYSE officials said the stock could open "between $45 and $47," according to the Wall Street Journal.
For constant updates on Twitter, the markets and finance team at The Wall Street Journal is blogging live.
MarketWatch has advice on what retail investors should be thinking about trading an IPO dominated by institutional investors.

When I type into the "Comments" field of the form, and click 'send', the email that I receieved contains all of the information that I filled out, EXCEPT for the information in the comments field.
this is what is written in the tpl_birthday_club_default:

Am I missing something as "Comments" information is not being sent to me? (All other text fields are fine, except for this one)

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) -- There are currently more than 21,000 people in the Wisconsin Prison System.
And right now there's a new push to get a significant number of those inmates out from behind bars and into treatment programs.
A new study calls for $75 million of the corrections budget to be spent on inmates with drug and alcohol problems.
On Tuesday, WEAU 13 News spoke with JONAH, a local faith-based group that's part of the study.
JONAH is part of a group called WISDOM.
The faith-based organization just completed a year-long study of Wisconsin prisons and found there are thousands of non-violent inmates who could be better helped with treatment.
The goal of the 11 by 15 Campaign is clear.
Cut the Wisconsin prison population in half to 11,000 by 2015.
How can they do it?
The study from WISDOM and Health Impact Partners has some possible solutions.
"A lot of people who are currently in prison, we can trace their offenses back to issues related to mental health, drugs or alcohol," said John Stedman, an organizer with JONAH.
Stedman said the study shows those types of non-violent offenders can be better helped with treatment or diversion programs.
"The outcomes are better, there's less recidivism, families are kept intact. To send an appropriate or eligible person through a treatment alternative or problem solving court costs about 1/4 of what it costs to incarcerate them," Stedman said.
He said current specialty courts and programs could be beefed up.
But he said prisoners would still have to be held accountable by seeing programs through and keeping a job.
Eau Claire County Sheriff Ron Cramer said the county has already invested in front-end programs; deterring re-offenders and making sure the non-violent don't stay long at the jail.
"Do we have the people you and I are fearful for that are going to reoffend? And the answer is yes. We've eliminated a lot of people in these programs," Cramer said.
The sheriff said his department has been working closely with groups like JONAH to develop better treatment programs.
"All of a sudden this model goes to Chippewa, Dunn Counties and out, there will be less people probably going into our state prisons," Sheriff Cramer said.
Stedman said the next step is convincing lawmakers to take action.
State Rep. Kathy Bernier of Chippewa Falls said she supports cost-cutting programs like these.
Messages for State Senator Kathleen Vinehout were not returned.

Two years ago, a great restaurant opened in your neighborhood. It was, oddly, called Arkham Asylum. You had your doubts--previous Batman restaurants just haven't been very good. But critics and fans agreed: Arkham Asylum was terrific, and the three course meal it offered was one of the finest meals you've had in a long time.
Now, Rocksteady Studios has prepared a follow-up. Batman: Arkham City offers so much more--it's not a restaurant, but a ritzy casino buffet.
At first, the options presented to you are entirely overwhelming. Where do you even begin? You gorge yourself on everything laid out in front of you. As you lie down, you unbuckle your belt, thinking "maybe I've eaten too much." Yes, you're a bit sick. You're happy--but you fondly recall Arkham Asylum, and realize that as decadent as this buffet was, it wasn't the chef-prepared experience you had years ago.
Bigger isn't necessarily better, and Arkham City--the game--is testament to that. Its biggest selling point--being able to explore an open world as the world's greatest detective--is also at the heart of the game's biggest weaknesses. Mere moments after starting the game, you're given free reign to explore most everything Arkham City has to offer. Your utility belt too is nearly filled right from the start, fully empowering you as the Batman right away.
While Arkham Asylum veterans will have no problem jumping in, I couldn't help but miss the carefully directed experience that the first game offered. I have no idea how approachable the game will be for newcomers, as the game offers little handholding. Even the "AR tutorials" aren't much help, as the game gives you scant instruction on how to actually play these sequences. There are the occasional prompts that highlight which gadget you're supposed to use, but expect a lot of trial-and-error guesswork as you stumble through the open world. Combat can be especially problematic, given the game's complete lack of direction on how the scoring and combo system actually works. (ProTip: Don't button mash!)
Every "improvement" made to Arkham City comes with a mark against it. The constant flow of side quests do add variety to the game, but make for a stilted narrative experience. Sure, you can ignore the pleas for help from the various "political prisoners" trapped in the city, but would Batman really do that?
The tech is far more ambitious in Arkham City, rendering not only an open world, but dozens of enemies at once. You will be fighting entire mobs of enemies--an impressive feat, to say the least. However, this enhancement makes Batman's "FreeFlow" combat system less effective. It can be frustrating when you intend to hit one enemy, but unintentionally hit the shielded commander next to him. Would Batman really do that? Probably not.
BOOM video 10822
Perhaps the most glaring shortcoming is the addition of Catwoman. Relegated as pack-in DLC, her side-story is dull, breaks the pacing of the main campaign, and ties into the narrative in the laziest way possible. Playing as Catwoman is fun, as she plays rather differently than the Dark Knight, but your excitement over her missions should be muted.
It's easy to note the flaws, if only because of how tightly constructed its predecessor was. Arkham City may not be as memorable, or as well-executed, but it's far from a bad game. Rocksteady has produced yet another terrific Batman simulator. Gliding off a building, cape outstretched, kicking a goon off a ledge is still exhilarating. The numerous face-offs (and partnerships!) with iconic rogues will get any Bat-fan excited. Also, you get to punch a shark in the face.
Arkham City: the restaurant may not win any Michelin stars, but you'll walk away from it, belly ready to burst. In an era of four hour copy-paste campaigns, having a game that's too big for its own good is quite the wonderful problem to have.
Disclosure: This review of Batman Arkham City is based on a retail Xbox 360 copy of the game, provided by Warner Bros. Interactive.
