Kenny Black doubts Motherwell could afford to re-sign James McFadden
Kenny Black doubts Motherwell could afford to re-sign James McFadden even if he was interested in a return to Fir Park.
Last Updated: 16/02/13 11:51am
McFadden is currently training with Motherwell after leaving Sunderland in January and seeing a potential move to Nottingham Forest fall through.
Sunderland have not ruled out another short-term contract for the 29-year-old, with Black wary of upsetting Motherwell's squad with the addition of McFadden.
"It only makes sense if you have the finances to do it," said Black in the Daily Record regarding a deal for McFadden, who originally left Motherwell for Everton in 2003.
"James is a top player and an experienced international but I don't know if the finances would allow us to offer him a deal.
"We have a number of players out of contract in the summer and I'd love to be able to tie these guys up for next year.
"We would like to keep everybody but due to financial restraints, or other clubs coming in offering better money, that may not be possible.
"Whether James would even be interested in playing for us, I don't know. I'm led to believe all he is looking for is training facilities.
"It's a similar situation to a few months back when he came to get himself fit and earn a move to Sunderland. He's a local lad and we are happy to have him on board. That's as far as it goes."

Panda Energy announced today they've received financing to build the new Sherman plant.
Sherman Economic Development Corporation struck a deal with Panda Energy to build in Sherman back in 2008.
SEDCO President Scott Connell said he's pleased to announce construction is finally getting underway.
"It's about a $350 million investment, which is a very large investment," he said. "And they're also gonna be a a large water customer of the city of Sherman, so it will have impact for the school district, the county, the city, and the college. It's a really great long term investment for the market."
Connell said the plant construction will bring in around 600 jobs over the next couple years. Panda said it'll create more than 70 permanent jobs once it's open.
Panda said the natural gas-powered plant will contribute $1.7 billion to the local economy in the first 10 years and will power up to 750,000 homes.
Sherman Mayor Bill Magers said that income will have a major impact on the city.
"Through property taxes and water, over $1 million a year in revenue for Sherman, Texas," he said. "It's gonna create jobs, gonna create a power facility for growth in the north Texas area. It's a great, great opportunity for all of us here in Sherman."
The plant will be located in Progress Park III, near FM 1417 and Hwy 75. Panda said they plan to have the plant up and running by the end of 2014.
But Magers said getting the plant to locate here was no small task.
"This was a four year effort, everything from negotiating the water price, to making sure that we had the proper quantities, to gas pipelines," he said. "Very, very complicated project."
Magers said the city is just happy to have it official and one step closer to opening for business.
"Someone asked me several weeks ago when I thought it was gonna happen," he said. "And I said 'well when the CEO comes to visit your town, you know you're probably getting good news.'"

I have absolutely zero sympathy and zero warm spot for the Pirates. They're from Pittsburgh and they're all tremendously obnoxious Steelers and Penguins fans who flaunt their Super Bowls and Stanley Cups in your face. They're hardly suffering.
May the Pirates lose for another two decades!
I understand they've had success in other sports, but it's not the same as baseball, in my eyes anyways. The Pirates are a great franchise historically, and it'd be great for our division if they could rise from the ashes.
This Pirates season reminds me of a few Bob Boone teams that were in 1st place through June and faded away. Although I am very impressed with what Clint Hurdle has done with that club, they are still missing some pieces and their young players are still developing. I certainly wouldn't dismiss them.
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
They were never a good team. Their "run" was a pure product of luck, and as many of us predicted, their luck has run out.
However, the Reds luck still hasn't turned around, so I've been nothing but dead wrong about them.
They're still clearly far away from competing with the big boys. But if they continue to invest in the right areas, they stand a fighting chance.
Go Gators!

COLUMBUS, Ohio - - The Ball State men's volleyball team saw its 2012 season come to an end with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-15) loss to defending national champion Ohio State Wednesday night in the semifinal round of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Tournament in Columbus, Ohio.
With the loss, the Cardinals end the season with a 14-12 overall record. The 10th-ranked Buckeyes improve to 21-8 and will host No. 7 Lewis in the MIVA Tournament Championship match Saturday at 7 p.m. at St. John Arena.
Junior opposite attacker Greg Herceg (Lakewood, Ohio/St. Ignatius) led the Ball State attack with eight kills, while adding three digs, an ace and a block assist.
Redshirt sophomore middle attacker Matt Leske (Highwood, Ill/Highland Park) added five kills and a team-high three block assists, while posting the other BSU ace in the match.
Rounding out BSU's top attackers were sophomore middle blocker Kevin Owens (Fishers, Ind./Cathedral) and junior outside attacker Larry Wrather (Lake Bluff, Ill./Lake Forrest) with six and five kills, respectively.
Ohio State's Shawn Sangrey paced all attackers with 15 kills, while posting a .419 (15-2-31) hitting mark. Two other Buckeyes added six kills, including Mik Berzins who led all players with 11 digs.
OSU held the Cardinals to a .022 (28-26-93) hitting mark for the match, while connecting for a .392 (37-6-79) rate of success on offense. The key to OSU's defense was its 19 total team blocks, including 10 (one solo and nine assists) from Grayson Overman.
The BSU defense, which entered the match as the league's top blocking team, only managed four team blocks in the loss. OSU also held a 34-31 edge in digs and a 5-2 advantage in aces.
With Ohio State leading 4-1 in the opening set, a kill from BSU's Leske gave the guests a brief moment of life as the tied the score at 4-4. Unfortunately, OSU answered with the next five points and never looked back, winning the game 25-14 on a Peter Heinen service ace.
Ohio State surged out to another 4-1 lead in the second set, only to have the Cardinals battle back within one at 8-7 thanks to back-to-back block assists both involving Leske. After falling behind 13-10, the Cardinals turned to Leske again as he provided a kill and an ace to draw back within one at 13-12. However, OSU would take control from there, out-scoring Ball State 12-6 down the stretch to win the set 25-18.
For the third consecutive set, the Cardinals found themselves in a 4-1 hole to open the third. The Buckeyes would add four of the next six points and go on to win the frame 25-15 and the match 3-0.

Matt Walters isn't completely sure when he realized he wanted to own his father's deli.
It could have been when he was 8 years old and cleaned out his parents' kitchen cabinet so he could pretend to have his own store in the basement.
There was also a time, at one and a half years old, when his mother dressed him up for Halloween with a white shirt and black apron, like his dad's deli uniform.
But one thing's for certain, although he has two brothers, it was always decided that he would succeed his dad.
"There was never a question of who was going to take over either," Matt said. "They knew I wanted to do it and they went their separate ways."
He started working in the 42-year-old Douglaston Deli on Douglaston Parkway near Northern Boulevard 19 years ago, and will soon take it over from his dad, Richard, who plans to retire this year.
Matt has been learning how to operate the deli since he began his job there at 15 years old. Today the combo still works side by side at certain times of the day.
They don't have defined roles, but the pair works in tandem to make sure customers receive their orders as soon as possible. With a certain quickness that comes with experience in the food industry, one takes orders, the other preps the food, which includes classic roast beef sandwiches and German style potato salad made fresh every day.

While the neighborhood may have transformed in various ways since the deli opened, the store hasn't changed much, and therefore holds a good relationship with the community. Matt plans to run the deli the same way as his dad.
"When people come in here they're not a number," Matt said. "We know them by first name and we've built up a lot of great relationships with customers around the area."
Matt has no idea what's in store for the next 42 years, but hopes the deli can stay in the family.
"I have a daughter that's a year and a half old," Matt said. "She might be the next owner of the deli."

The book Titus, of the New Testament is the 56th chapter in the typical Bible and is basically sets of guidelines for how people should act. It doesn't have much in the way of tales being told throughout it, but instead delves into guidelines for what is good and what should be taught to certain groups.
Titus is a small book and can be deemed very similar to both 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, as they all follow the same lines and are rather short, being a few pages each. It is immediatly past Both Timothy's and may be considered a mere reprint of them.
Chapters in Titus
Chapter One
The book begins primarily with a bit of Proselytism and then just downright insult. The insult is presumably against those of jewish faith, as the ones Titus refers to are 'those of the circumcision group'. This sort of thing is quite uncommon and Titus would seem to be one of the only books in bible that preaches this. The book describes how they are dishonest and states that they preach their god for personal gain, which amusingly is no more true than christians of whom this is common.
Chapter two
This part is labeled 'What must be taught to various groups', or a variant of this. It tells of what should be taught to groups (young and old, men and women) and goes on to tell of what slaves should act like. The things said about slaves are unsurprising and can be seen in many other chapters. Slaves are told to be true to their masters and not to steal, but to please them to make god more attractive.
Chapter Three
The third chapter, labeled 'Doing what is good' (again, maybe a variant of this), tells of how people should follow authority and why jesus saved humananity. The final part to the third chapter is set out as somewhat of a letter, presumably from jesus, and tells everyone to make their best efforts to reach 'Nicopolis' during the winter. A similar message is brought up at the end of 2 Timothy but may not include the same characters.
Titus would seem to have been written by the father of Titus, who is not named in the book.
The book of Titus is a rather pointless addition in hindsight. Many of the things told of in it are explained away in other books, such as parts of the old testament and especially in both Timothy's. It doesn't contain violence and only seems to contain a small portion of insult, although obviously offensive to some, is not as bad as some other pieces of scripture. As previously stated, it does not have much in the way of tales, and only really mentions gods work in chapter three.

LA CROSSE, Wis. — Three veterans of the Carleton College men's track and field team looked to improve upon their season-best marks at Thursday's UW-La Crosse Qualifier, one of 11 "last chance" meets across the country this week.
Marcus Huderle (Sr./Eden Prairie, Minn./Eden Prairie) ran to a sixth-place result in the 3000-meter steeplechase, posting a time of 9:39.57. Coming into the day, his time of 9:12.47 posted at the MIAC Championships ranked No. 18 in the country. While the top 22 women in each event advance to nationals, on the men's side it is only the top 20 for each event, so Huderle will keep his fingers crossed throughout the week in hopes of making his third career trip to the NCAA Championships.
Adan Nunez-Frausto (Sr./Phoenix, Ariz./Brophy College Prep) saw his collegiate career come to an end after he placed 13th in the hammer throw. His best measurement of 49.36 meters (161 feet, 11 inches) of the afternoon came on his first attempt. He was ranked No. 40 and did not move up on the national list.
Jonah Barry (So./Madison, Wis./Madison West) established a new personal best with a time of 3:58.79 while finishing 10th out of 32 racers in the 1500-meter run. That time ranks outside the top 50 nationally.
The list of individuals participating at the NCAA Championships will be posted on NCAA.com on Sunday, May 18.

|View printer-friendly version
Santiago, Chile, August 9, 2012– LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, ("LATAM Airlines Group" or "the Company") (NYSE: LFL / IPSA: LAN / Bovespa: LATM11), the leading airline group in Latin America, today reported its preliminary monthly traffic statistics for July 2012 compared to July 2011.
System passenger traffic increased 7.9% as capacity rose 2.9%. As a result, the Company's load factor for the month increased 3.9 points to 83.6%. International passenger traffic accounted for approximately 49% of the month's total passenger traffic.
Domestic passenger traffic in LATAM Airlines Group´s Spanish speaking operations (Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia) rose 24.7%, as capacity increased 22.4%. As a consequence, the domestic passenger load factor increased 1.5 points to 81.8%.
Domestic passenger traffic in Brazil rose 10.1%, as capacity decreased 1.4%. As a consequence, the domestic Brazil passenger load factor increased 8.5 points to 81.4%.
International passenger traffic rose 2.6%, while capacity increased 1.6%. Accordingly, the international passenger load factor for the month increased 0.8 points to 85.8%. International traffic includes international operations of both LAN and TAM on regional and long haul routes.
Cargo traffic for LAN declined 4.5% as capacity decreased 2.8%. As a consequence, the cargo load factor decreased 1.2 points to 68.1%. The decline in cargo capacity is related to the drop in cargo traffic that was driven by weaker imports into Latin America, partially offset by strong demand for commodities from South America.

On Jan. 26, 2010, New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who has since admitted to administering a bounty program within the New Orleans Saints defense, appeared on Nashville's 3 Hour Lunch radio show on 104.5 The Zone to discuss the upcoming Super Bowl between the Saints and the Indianapolis Colts while extolling the finer points of his coaching philosophy.
(Exactly What Appears To Have Happened)
Below is a short montage of audio excerpts from the WGFX-FM interview accompanied by video of some of the more notorious hits on star NFL quarterbacks made by defenses coordinated by Williams over the years.
During the interview, 104.5 The Zone co-host Blaine Bishop said to Williams, "You may the first coordinator to have knocked out three Hall of Famers."
In response, Williams said, "I sure hope so, you know how that is Blaine. I'm not going to apologize for it either .. You kill the head the body will die."
Bishop was a defensive player coached by Williams from 1993-2000 when both were with the Tennessee Titans.
Williams was also asked by 104.5 The Zone 3 Hour Lunch co-host Clay Travis if he had cautioned the Saints defense about roughing Peyton Manning in the upcoming Super Bowl after the New Orleans defense coordinated by Williams was flagged and later fined for multiple personal fouls against Vikings quarterback Brett Favre in the NFC Championship game the week before.
In response, Williams said, "I'm not going to worry about that and here's the deal. When you put too much of that type of worry on a warrior's mind, he doesn't play all out. If it (personal foul on the quarterback) happens it happens. The only thing you'd like for me to say is if it happens you hope he doesn't get back up and play again."
After the response by the Saints defensive coordinator, Travis said, "wow."

sugar cookies
all that said, i'm going to torture myself a bit and post some cookies i made over the weekend. a friend just got engaged (congratulations sharon!) and asked me to make cookies for her engagement party. each one got wrapped up with a little note that said, "will you be my bridesmaid?" (or groomsman, depending.) i had a lot of fun decorating them, each a little differently.
i had a moment of panic when i woke up to make them, realizing that i have tons of sugar cookie recipes and wasn't sure which would be best for this kind of decorating; i decided to go with betty crocker, always reliable, and sure enough the dough was perfect. here's the (slightly modified) recipe:
1 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 t raspberry flavor
a couple pinches ground vanilla beans
pinch of salt
1 egg
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 t cream of tartar
1 t baking soda
a friend of sam's owns a company that makes and bottles natural flavorings, and when she heard i was a pastry chef she very generously bestowed me with a basket full of many of her offerings. i've been waiting for a chance to try them out - this summer seemed way too busy (and hot) for baking - so i subbed in raspberry flavor and ground vanilla beans. the flavor was so good that i used them in some macarons later that day, too - subtle, and REALLY raspberry, not some weird fake-tasting concoction. it can be so hard to find good, unusual flavors, and her shop has tons of them, and at super affordable prices. /end shill.
start the butter, sugar and flavor in your mixer; beat them together until nice and fluffy and white. add egg (preferably at room temperature) and mix just until combined, then add the flour, tartar and baking soda all at once until it comes together in a dough (mix as little as possible.) refrigerate for at least an hour, until the dough is nice and firm.
preheat oven to 37roll it out until the dough is about 1/4 inch thick - they'll puff up a little when they bake. i then decorated mine with fondant i dyed and some royal icing i made. voila!
hope everyone had a great weekend!

Those are gorgeous!!! I'm gonna pretend that the 'Rachael' one was meant for me.ReplyDelete
If you're looking for me, I'll be at my mailbox, drooling in anticipation....
But seriously, that's so sweet of you to do. Do you have to say 'no' to people a lot? When people find out I do photography, it's like, "Oh! I know what'd make you happy! On your free time (what free time?!??) I bet you'd love to spend 12 hours snapping the photosesh I've been wanting to do!" Granted, it's usually something awesome and fun but... a girl needs a magazine and coffee day.
Did you eat any of the cookies or is that against your cleanse?
yum yum yum. i can see the vanilla in the cookies, i bet they were delish. i wouldn't have wanted to eat mine though... unless i could have also eaten someone else's. just one cookie is never enough.ReplyDelete
How adorable! Lucky Sharon! (And wedding party).ReplyDelete
I love trying new biscuit recipes but you definitely can't get raspberry flavouring here. We never have anything! Think the closest would be orange or lemon which could also be quite tasty.
these are so cute!!ReplyDelete
Amazing. I'm always impressed by cookie decorating skillz. A friend of mine bought me some cute shapes for my birthday and I didn't have the heart to tell her I've never used a cookie cutter in my adult life.ReplyDelete
I've been thinking of doing a juice cleanse (for similar reasons) Wondering what your recipes for THAT are...
Bake, channel a the gamines of the past, cook like a fiend, AND have the willpower to cleanse like that?ReplyDelete
Are you a superhuman or what??? ;)
The cookies are divine!
They are absolutely adorable!!!!ReplyDelete
What a nice way to celebrate your friends engagment <3
I think that those are the cutest coockies I've ever seen and I'm sure they look delicious! My adorable husband bake cakes every week...maybe I should try to juice cleanse formula as well...BTW, I really like your blond pixie cut!ReplyDelete
cookies look awesome!!!ReplyDelete
If you have been drinking alot you should try taking milk thistle...it's a all natural supplement and i highly recommend it. It cleans out your liver...it's great. You can get it at GNC or CVS or Rite Aid...basically where ever they sell vitamins.
These are adorable! They look like they were fun to decorate. Are the pearl waist and red tie for the maid of honor and best man? Awwwww =)ReplyDelete
Aww, I love them! What a cute idea! I bet they tasted awesome too!ReplyDelete
I have heard wonderful things about juice cleanses but I have absolutely no willpower. I think I would give up after 4 hours. You are a brave and strong gal. ;)
these are so freakin adorable, love them!!ReplyDelete
these are so sweet, i love them!ReplyDelete

SOURCE: Enterprise Holdings
November 14, 2012 11:00 ET
ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwire - Nov 14, 2012) - For the first time, Enterprise Holdings, which owns and operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands, captured the top three rankings in the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 North American Rental Car Satisfaction Study(SM).
The study, which surveyed leisure and business travelers who rented vehicles at North American airports, ranked Enterprise Rent-A-Car highest in customer satisfaction in the industry, followed in order by National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car. With the industry customer satisfaction scores at their highest in seven years, all three brands finished above the industry average and improved their scores from the prior year, with the Alamo brand showing the most improvement in ranking year-over-year.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car ranked highest for the eighth time in the past nine years and received the highest score in all six categories: costs and fees; pick-up process; rental car; return process; reservation process; and shuttle bus/van. Enterprise performed particularly well in the category of cost and fees -- scoring 26 points higher than any other brand -- reflecting the value offered by the brand. In addition, Enterprise and National ranked highest among business travelers, who tend to be more critical of their rental car experience than leisure travelers.
While the Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand has consistently ranked high on the J.D. Power and Associates study since it originated in 1995, National and Alamo have gradually moved up the rankings since Enterprise Holdings' 2007 acquisition of the two brands.
"Since acquiring the National and Alamo brands, we have focused on providing consistently exceptional service to customers across all of our brands, and set a goal to have all three ranked highest in the J.D. Power and Associates study," stated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew C. Taylor, whose family owns and operates Enterprise Holdings. "This unprecedented achievement is a tribute to all of our hard-working employees -- they truly deserve all the credit for this recognition."
Now, just five years after the largest acquisition in the history of the car rental industry, all three brands are ranked in the top three by the study, which surveyed more than 12,000 business and leisure customers. Since the company's founding, the Taylor family has made the Enterprise brand synonymous with customer service excellence. When Enterprise Holdings acquired National and Alamo, it began applying its proven method for measuring customer satisfaction across all three brands.
"While we've invested heavily in the Enterprise, National and Alamo brands to bring customers new technology, new vehicles and new loyalty programs to make the rental experience better, we know that things as simple as a smile, eye-contact and a positive, can-do attitude from our employees are what really differentiate us," added Taylor.
Enterprise Holdings' three brands collectively lead with approximately a third of the airport rental car business in the U.S. and Canada. Enterprise Holdings also owns and operates more than 1 million cars and trucks, making it the largest car rental company in the world measured by revenue, employees and fleet. In addition, the company's annual revenues make it one of the largest companies in the travel industry, exceeding many airlines, cruise lines, hotels, tour operators and online travel agencies.
About Enterprise Holdings
Founded in 1957, Enterprise Holdings is the most comprehensive service provider in the car rental industry, operating -- through its regional subsidiaries -- the Alamo Rent A Car and National Car Rental brands as well as its flagship Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand in North America. The company also operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand in the UK, Germany and Ireland, and a franchise network that operates the National and Alamo brands throughout the Americas. Enterprise Holdings recently acquired Citer SA in France and Atesa in Spain, and made a strategic investment in China-based eHi Auto Services.
Enterprise Holdings' worldwide network includes more than 8,200 neighborhood and airport locations, with 6,000 offices located within 15 miles of 90 percent of the U.S. population -- and more than twice as many locations as Enterprise Holdings' nearest U.S. competitor. Ranked No. 15 on the Forbes list of America's Largest Private Companies, Enterprise Holdings is owned by the Taylor family and is the only investment-grade company in the U.S. car rental industry. This news release and other announcements are available at the Enterprise Holdings press room.

Investigators in Effingham County have discovered part of the body of a missing Savannah man in the home of the suspect who was gunned down after holding a woman hostage Friday in the Rincon area.
The partial remains of Charles Ray, a Savannah man who went missing New Year's Eve, were discovered by police late Friday evening in the home of Chad Moretz, 34, of Rincon. Moretz was gunned down by the Savannah SWAT team Friday after holding his wife Kimberly Moretz hostage in their Whitehall Ave. home for almost five hours.
Effingham County Sherriff's Office spokesman David Ehsanipoor said in a press conference Saturday afternoon that authorities believe Moretz is responsible for Ray's death. Other partial remains of Ray's body were also discovered in a storage unit in Jasper County, S.C., Ehsanipoor said.
Authorities received information that a body may be inside the home during the process of Friday's hostage standoff, Ehsanipoor said.
After securing a search warrant and locating the partial remains in Moretz's home, investigators say they appear to match the body with that of the remains found earlier in Jasper County, S.C. An autopsy has confirmed that the remains found in S.C. belong to Ray.
Moretz's wife, Kimberly, and her brother, Kevin Lambert, 38, of Fla., have both been charged with concealing a body and are being held in the Effingham County Jail.
Kimberly Moretz had previously been taken to Memorial University Medical Center Friday evening for minor injuries related to the hostage situation.

Reviews forSpinach Cheese Swirls
My Review
Average Rating
"This is just a Basic Italian Recipe Passed Down Through Centuries in ITALY ... I was looking for something to help me remember how to Saute the Spinach since my mother is NO LONGER WITH US ... A person needs to know HOW TO COOK to make it ... I saw these reviews and I'm sure they only know how to BURN WATER ... That person Below needs a good lesson in Spinach or Talk to Popeye the Sailor"
"Threw hqlf of this away. We didn't care for it at all. IF I try something like this again, I will try the French bread instead of pizza dough. And, still trying to figure out what spices might make it taste better. I love spinach, love spinach pizza, and was really looking forward to this. We even used spaghetti sauce for dipping. Didn't help."
"I didn't have any frozen spinach, so I used canned (with liquid squeezed out). I also made my own pizza dough. I made half the recipe with spinach and then tried making the other half with pepperoni instead of spinach. I added some Italian seasoning to that one. I really enjoyed both of them."
"I discovered this recipe years ago and it is wonderful. It is always requested at family gatherings. I don't change a thing. We love it."

"This recipe was great the only thing I'll do different next time is add ricotta cheese"

2004-05 Men's Basketball
Bluffton University 59, No. 9 Hanover College 55
By Ben Risinger, sports information director
January 8, 2005
The Bluffton University men's basketball team (7-4, 1-0 HCAC) defeated No. 9 Hanover College (10-3, 1-1 HCAC) 59-55 on Jan. 8.
Bluffton is now on a four-game winning streak and broke Hanover's 26-game Heartland Conference winning streak that they had carried over the past few years. The victory is the Beavers first over Hanover since Feb. 3, 2001, when they defeated the Panthers on the road 73-72.
Junior Scott Bergman (Elmore/Woodmore) led both teams and tied his career high with 29 points. Sophomore Michael Anthony (Ohio City/Delphos St. John's) posted 17 points, four steals and six rebounds. Sophomore Eric Schwieterman (St. Henry/St. Henry) ended the afternoon with six rebounds and four assists.
The Panthers led the contest for most of the first half as Bluffton tied the game
five times before taking the lead at the three minute mark 24-21. At halftime the
Beavers held a narrow lead 26-24. Bluffton came out strong in the second half as they
led until the six minute mark when Hanover's Ben Lye hit a quick jumper to take back
the game 48-46.
The Beavers would not be outdone as Bergman hit his second three-pointer in a row three minutes later (2:45 mark) to help Bluffton take back the lead for good 55-52. The final outcome would see Bluffton win their 2004 conference opener 59-55.
Bluffton University will be back in action on the road on Monday, Jan. 10, as they travel to Manchester College. Tip off for the contest is slated for 7:30 p.m.

Stuffing a PS3 and an Xbox 360 Into a PC Case 96
An anonymous reader writes "A man identifying himself as 'Timofiend' has posted a detailed walkthrough of how he built an impressive case mod that fits both a PlayStation 3 and an Xbox 360 into a mid-tower computer case. He used one of the newer Slim 360 models hooked up to an ATX power supply, and one of the bulkier old PS3 units, with its standard power supply as well. After arranging the internal boards, persuading the two optical drives to fit and loading up on fans to prevent overheating, he wound up with a very cool (and functional!) blend of gaming platforms."

A 60-year-old man was found dead Monday morning at a homeless shelter in Pontiac. Oakland County sheriff's deputies were dispatched at 7:10 a.m. to the Hope Warming Center in the 200 block of Baldwin after a worker noticed the man was not breathing in bed. STAR EMS workers administered CPR to the man, but revival attempts were unsuccessful. Detectives are investigating, but did not find evidence of any suspicious activity at the scene.
Teen arrested after chase
A 19-year-old Pontiac man was arrested after leading sheriff's deputies on a chase that spanned three blocks. Deputies attempted to pull the man's vehicle over around 2 a.m. Tuesday on Emerson Avenue, near Baltimore Avenue. The vehicle sped off until it reached North Perry Street, at which point the driver struck a curb, causing damage which disabled the vehicle. The suspect and a passenger then ran from the vehicle. Deputies were unable to find the passenger. A second passenger remained inside the vehicle and answered deputies' questions before being released. The driver is charged with fleeing and eluding and also had an active warrant for carrying a concealed weapon. His vehicle sustained heavy front-end damage, but no injuries were reported and no other property was damaged.

I've launched a new support group (email list) for owners of SM- affected cavaliers or those with related diagnoses (hydrocephalous, the occipital malformation but clear for SM) -- this will become the primary support board connected with the SM Infosite (noted below) though this board's own SM forum will also be available, of course.
Here's some further information:
To view or join the new list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CKCS-SM-support/
CKCS-SM-support is intended for owners of affected cavaliers who are seeking an open and unrestricted discussion environment to ask questions, share information, and join a community of other affected-dog owners.
This list has been created as a sister list to the CKCS-SM group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CKCS-SM , which has general SM discussion) and is affiliated to the SM Infosite (http://sm.cavaliertalk.com).
Everyone is very welcome to join and to participate, but as the list is supportive in nature, its focus is more specifically directed at the owner of affected dogs than at a general audience interested in learning more about SM. For the latter, CKCS-SM is probably more suitable.
This is not a closed or heavily moderated group, which means your posts are not screened by moderators before they are posted, and the list is open for public viewing. If a topic seems more appropriate to CKCS-SM, moderators might recommend bumping it over there! :^) But the intention is for the list to be open, welcoming, encouraging of discussion, supportive of different perspectives, and especially, supportive to people with affected dogs however they may choose to manage the condition.

Two things wrong. A browser that bypasses these errors and bad webmasters.

If you are a new user of Cbus Member SuperSite,  click here to get started.
Naturally, the missing  throws an error.
When reading your UA-string, such a website gives your corresponding version of page. Pages differ in some content, or sometimes page simply refuses to work if proper UA not found.

Fully recovered McCarthy opens D-backs chapter
By Steve Gilbert / 12/12/12 6:00 PM ET
PHOENIX -- When he flew to Pittsburgh last month to be examined for any lingering effects from the trauma he suffered when he was struck in the head by a comebacker on Sept. 5, Brandon McCarthy admittedly was wary.
The process challenged him physically and mentally to test multiple areas of his brain, particularly the parts that were affected when he was struck by a line drive off the bat of Angels shortstop Erick Aybar.
"I was sort of hesitant as to what I could do or what I was capable of, and then once they pushed me through it, I realized actually I think I'm fine," McCarthy said. "Ever since that day, I haven't been restricted by anything. I've felt no symptoms. Really it's become as much of a non-factor as something that major can be. I've resumed full workouts with no limitations. Haven't had even the slightest hint of a setback."
What appears to be a full recovery made the D-backs confident in signing the former Oakland A's right-hander to a two-year, $15 million contract in the wake of last week's Winter Meetings.
McCarthy passed a physical administered by the D-backs earlier this week and said, at this point, he is under no physical limitations.
"I came through that two or three days of testing to where everything was extremely normal -- where I tested right where I would have if I hadn't had the incident," McCarthy said of his examination at the University of Pittsburgh. "I expect it to keep going to where it's just something that happened in the past."
There were plenty of suitors for McCarthy, who was 8-6 with a 3.24 ERA in 18 starts for the A's in 2012. What helped separate the D-backs from the pack was the familiarity McCarthy had with players like Trevor Cahill, Cliff Pennington and Brad Ziegler, all of whom he played with in Oakland.
In addition, McCarthy has family in Tucson and Scottsdale, so he is comfortable with the area.
Oh, and there's also the fact that he likes the D-backs' chances of being successful on the field. McCarthy joins a rotation that also includes Ian Kennedy, Cahill and Wade Miley, with the final spot being filled by one of the team's young pitching prospects.
"Actually, a big thing is it's a team that is so close to being so competitive and two years ago was an extremely competitive team, and I think all the ingredients are there for that," McCarthy said. "A really deep starting rotation, there's a lot of good offensive talent there, especially young talent. There's some good defensive players. I think you have everything you're looking for in a team that can possibly make a deep run and possibly win the whole thing."
McCarthy is known for being a good presence in the clubhouse, thanks in part to his humor.
In fact, McCarthy was even thinking up funny tweets he could send out while he was in the ambulance being rushed to the hospital after the Sept. 5 incident.
While he's close friends with Cahill, the two have distinctly different personalities, with Cahill being extremely quiet.
"If Cahill's the biggest personality you have on the staff, which I can't imagine he is, then you're hurting in that regard, because that guy is too quiet," McCarthy said. "So that's the one thing I try to do is bring him out of his shell and make him uncomfortable. He's told me nothing but good things about the other guys on the staff. I'll try to get in there and make fun of as many people as I can and hopefully not be hated and try to fit in."
A couple of years ago, McCarthy altered his mechanics a bit in an effort to reduce the number of fly balls he allowed. The change in arm angle, D-backs GM Kevin Towers said, gave McCarthy better life on his pitches.
By getting hitters to keep the ball on the ground, McCarthy has become better suited for a ballpark like Chase Field. Located at the second-highest altitude in the Majors, balls in the air tend to carry at Chase, making it a challenge for fly-ball pitchers.
"I think more of an emphasis of getting the ground ball is something that will help me, but it doesn't mean that it's a guaranteed victory there," McCarthy said of Chase Field. "A tough park is a tough park. It's still the emphasis on making pitches, making quality pitches. There is no fear of the stadium. A lot of that is talking to Trevor. You're going to give up home runs, you're going to give up some things that are a little bit cheap, but when you throw well, you're throwing well, and that will exist in basically any ballpark."

For University of Montana Western senior basketball guard Kristen Luedtke, her juggling act is quite a bit more complicated. By Wally Feldt [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="154" caption="Kristen Luedtke and her son Hudson."][/caption] The secret to success for student athletes competing on the collegiate level is learning to juggle academics and athletics. For University of Montana Western senior basketball guard Kristen Luedtke, her juggling act is quite a bit more complicated. In addition to school work and basketball, Luedtke and her husband Matt Luedtke are the parents of two toddlers, Maddie, age 4 and Hudson, age 3. Matt is a 2008 graduate of Montana Western and an assistant coach for the Bulldog men's basketball team. Together, the young parents balance a daily schedule that would make most people dizzy. Kristen's list of responsibilities includes practices, film sessions, weight training, class and homework, which is not to mention the constant demands of caring for two young children. "The question everyone asks is 'How do you do it?'" Luedtke says with a smile. "It is kind of a juggling act and can be crazy. I think when we are both done and life slows down a bit, we'll look back and say 'Whoa, look what we did.' But now, it just seems easy and normal for us." Luedtke is also quick to point out the support and help that she and Matt receive from their parents and "Western" family is a key ingredient. Luedtke, a Montana native, was an all-state performer in both basketball and volleyball at Butte High School. She began her college career at Miles Community College in Miles City, Mont. where she earned all-conference honors. She soon met Matt, and before long the two married, had their two children and Luedtke's college career seemed over. It was nearly four years before Luedtke returned to the court after a prompting from Montana Western's former women's coach Kevin Engellant. Matt had finished his playing career at Montana Western and after a couple of years of professional basketball in the Continental Basketball League he was back in Dillon, Mont. completing his degree and coaching the Bulldog junior varsity team. He joined Steve Keller's staff for the 2006-07 season. Kristen says the encouragement and support her husband and Engellant provided allowed her to once again pursue her love of basketball. "It was always in the back of my head to finish my career," Luedtke explains. "I knew I had two years of eligibility left. I knew if I didn't I would have that regret, but my kids come first. I curbed by basketball feelings by playing city league with other moms who had played college basketball. But the coaches kept asking me to go out. I just didn't know if I wanted to. I had never been away from my kids, ever...A year went by and I didn't play. Kevin asked again at the start of last season and I said no again. Then, in November, I decided to play and went and talked to Kevin again." Luedtke began on the women's junior varsity team and by the time the Frontier Conference season began, she moved to the varsity roster. "I talked to Kevin about just practicing so I could get back into shape," Luedtke adds. "He said I could take my time and get comfortable and maybe be ready to play with the varsity by conference. It was important for me to earn my spot on the varsity team." Last year, Luedtke played in 14 games and averaged nearly three points per game. This season, she is now a starter and is averaging eight points and five rebounds per game. Current women's varsity coach Cara Cocchiarella is happy that Luedtke is a member of the team. "The best thing Kristen brings to our program — and on a daily basis — is a very competitive spirit and intensity on every play," Cocchiarella says. "Just through her effort alone, she makes us a better team." Academically, Luedtke is majoring in social studies with a related area of psychology. Following in her mother's footsteps, she wants to be an addiction counselor specializing in treatment. "I have always been interested in psychology but wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it," Luedtke says. "My mom is an addiction counselor and tells me about her job and it is so interesting to me." [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="240" caption="The Luedtkes. From left, Maddie, Matt, Kristen and Hudson."][/caption] As a mom herself, Luedtke is her own role model for Maddie and Hudson. She is also a source of inspiration for her husband Matt, her biggest fan, supporter and ally. "I can't say enough about her as a mother and a wife," he said. "She is everything and more to me and the kids." A typical day in the Luedtke house may sound complicated and busy to an outsider, but to them, it's just another day. The day starts early at the Luedtke house. After breakfast, Matt goes to work while Kristen plays with the children. When Maddie and Hudson are occupied with activities, Kristen works on her homework. She then helps the children with their own education counting, writing and other learning activities. Lunch is followed by practice for Kristen. After practice, dinner is followed by baths for the kids, reading and finally sleep for the busy family. The day doesn't leave much time for reflection, but the young mother, wife and student athlete says forward momentum is the key to her and her family's success. "Busy yes, hectic yes, but we don't think about it," Luedtke says. "We just do it."

Learning to Teach: A Descriptive Study of Student Language Teachers in Taiwan
Studies have shown that many training programs are relatively ineffective in preparing prospective teachers for classroom teaching. Such findings suggest that teacher training programs might require improvement and that prospective teachers should be more thoroughly assessed during the training period. This study examined the learning process of a group of EFL teachers during their practicum at elementary schools. Our findings indicate that prior language learning experience and peer student teachers play a critical role in this period. Overall, the results suggested that student teachers would benefit from greater integration between field experiences, practicum, and lecture courses, which would enable the students to link teaching theory and practice more effectively.

Swoboda Inc. jewelry is fairly new to me. I love semi-precious gems, but I am not a big fan of uncut highly-polished baroque-shaped stones that Swoboda is so famous for. However, its jewelry designs are beginning to grow on me, and this snake bracelet was the pinnacle of this new-found love. I love snake motifs on jewelry and the color (and stone) combination on this piece was interesting. It is adorned with genuine peridots, opals, and a pair of rubies for the eyes. I know very well that this is a rare piece; it is unsigned and comes with its original paper tag. This means that the bracelet was designed before 1966, after which all their jewelry were signed 'SWOBODA' or 'SWO'. This bracelet was from the personal collection of Nate Waxman, who became a partner in the company until it ceased operations.

Six Southwest Florida appraisers were sanctioned by the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulations last year.
Two gave up their licenses voluntarily. Two had their licenses revoked, one had his license suspended and another was put on 18 months probation.
Here is a list of the appraisers and the punishment they received:
Alan S. Sherman, Sarasota, license revoked.
Sherman initially told the DBPR that Multiple Listing Service data was used to complete an appraisal and then later said MLS data was not used.
In his appraisal, he failed to adjust for the fact that one of his comps was larger than the subject property and he did not explain why an adjustment was not made. He failed to report that another comp was located on a canal. He provided a workfile to the DBPR that did not include adequate data to support his opinions and conclusions.
Lori Ann Wickes, Port Charlotte, license revoked.
Wickes failed to adequately describe the listing history for the subject property. She listed incorrect bath and bedroom counts for various comparables and neglected to include a photo for one of the comps. Wickes failed to comply with uniform appraisal standards and failed to use reasonable due diligence in completing the appraisal.
Robert A. Miller, Sarasota, $2,000 fine, 30-day suspension and 30 hours of continuing education.
Miller failed to comply with uniform appraisal standards and to exercise reasonable due diligence in preparing an appraisal. He failed to disclose a previous sale of the subject property and $18,000 in concessions for a comparable sale. He also created neighborhood boundaries that did not surround the subject property.
Jim Ehrenfeld, Port Charlotte, $1,000 fine, 18 months probation and 30 hours of continuing education.
Ehrenfeld failed to exercise reasonable due diligence in preparing an appraisal.
Sam Ignoffo, Punta Gorda, voluntarily relinquished his license.
Robert H. Laney, Bradenton, voluntarily relinquished his license.

"Greener" Materials Science
Schiffman and her team are engineering new materials for a wide range of biomedical and environmental uses including antibiofilm coatings, nanofiber scaffolds for wound healing, and membranes that can selectively remove contaminants.
Schiffman (Chemical Engineering) is the first recipient of the Professor James M. Douglas Early Career Faculty Development Award, established "in honor of Professor Douglas' research innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and ability to tackle complex problems using innovative and non-traditional approaches to achieve results." Douglas, a long-term faculty member and department head, cut a distinctive path through the process design community in chemical engineering. He pioneered a rational approach to design, embodied in a systematic design method that altered the well-established belief that no one could teach process design without years of experience.
Schiffman is carrying on this innovative tradition, utilizing the intrinsic properties of renewable biopolymers and bioactive products to synthesize novel nanostructures and new materials for biomedical and environmental applications. Polymers derived from natural sources have inherent qualities, which often make them superior to synthetic polymers. They are antibacterial, biodegradable, biocompatible, can chelate metal ions, and have coagulation capabilities. For example, Schiffman uses particular plant derivatives that exhibit a wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity. By analyzing the chemistry, processability, and biological functionality of these agents, Schiffman and her research team are engineering and characterizing new materials for a wide range of biomedical and environmental uses including antibiofilm coatings, nanofiber scaffolds for wound healing, and membranes that can selectively remove contaminants.
To improve the separation technology currently employed to purify drinking water, Schiffman recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to improve ultrafiltration membranes. In this project, Schiffman and her team will employ polycationic nanofibers mats to make the ultrafiltration membranes antifouling. This separation technology is vital for drinking water purification plants and a broad range of industries, including blood filtration/treatment, protein purification, and metal ion recovery.
With the Douglas Award, Schiffman and her team will continue their research into polymer hydrogels that can resist microbial contamination. Instead of relying on antimicrobials to kill the bacteria, Schiffman's innovative approach optimizes the physical properties of polymer materials. Delaying the onset of biofilm formation is imperative due to the high mortality rate that microbes impose to both immune-compromised and critically-ill patients. Her research holds the potential to transform wound treatment in the medical field, exemplifying the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of the Douglas Award.

#1 Constitutional Amendment to curb spending
03-31-2011, 07:24 PMRepublicans want to mandate balanced U.S. budget

WASHINGTON, March 31 | Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:41pm EDT
(Reuters) - All 47 U.S. Senate Republicans, seeking fiscal discipline in big-spending Washington, proposed on Thursday an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require a balanced federal budget.
A number of such efforts have failed over the years. But backers are hopeful this one may succeed amid an unprecedented push to trim the federal deficit, projected to hit $1.4 trillion this year.
"It's long past the time that we stop spending money we don't have," said Senator Lamar Alexander, a member of Republican leadership. "Requiring that we balance our national budget is a logical step in that direction."
To become law, proposed constitutional amendments must be approved by two-thirds majority votes in the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then ratified by three-quarters of the 50 states.
"The whole thing is a long shot," said Dan Ripp of Bradley Woods, a private firm that tracks Washington for investors.
"The framers (of the Constitution) designed the amendment process to be difficult on purpose," Ripp said.
Under the Republican proposal, the requirement for a balanced budget would go into effect five years after ratification.
It would permit limited exemptions, such as during a time of war. The proposed amendment would also require a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate to raise taxes.
Since the Constitution was ratified in 1789 as the supreme law of the land, just 27 amendments have been approved, the last in 1992.
A balanced budget amendment passed the Republican-led House in 1995, but fell short in the Republican-led Senate.
Democrats now control the Senate, 53-47. So far, none of them have embraced the Republican balanced-budget proposal. (Reporting by Thomas Ferraro, editing by Eric Beech)
We need a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Today, all 47 Republican Senators introduced a Constitutional amendment that would require the president to submit a balanced budget every year, require Congress to pass a balanced budget, cap government spending to 18% of GDP, and require a supermajority of Congress to increase taxes or raise the debt limit.

Yeah, expect Boehner and the rest of the RINO's to jump right on this.
Bonehead is already backing down on the spending cuts pledge after trimming a whopping 10 billion off of a 4 trillion dollar budget (that is about 1 quarter of 1 percent) and you really think or believe that this incompetent boob is going to actually put limits on the golden cash cow?
I wish them the best of luck and support their efforts, but I'm not holding my breath.
Before Bohner even gets a chance to screw this up he'd need a 2/3rd's majority of the Senate to go for it. Unless a companion is introduced in the house, where I don't think the it will muster 2/3rds of the House no matter what Bohner does."In England a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived."

I can't see it going anywhere in Congress either. Though there is another method of getting an Amendment done, might be time to use it

The temperature rose to a record-high 99 degrees today in Boston as Bay State residents slogged through steam bath-like conditions on the sixth day of a sizzling heat wave.
The record was broken at Logan International Airport shortly before 1 p.m. The previous record for the day was 98.
After a warm, muggy night the heat will be on again Saturday, propelling the mercury again into the 90s. Severe thunderstorms will then move in during the afternoon and evening that will whip up strong winds, dump buckets of rain, and hurl lightning. Those storms will usher in a period of cooler weather, forecasters said.
"Lightning, of course, is the biggest threat. These could have some strong damaging winds with them, as well," said Glenn Field, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton. "If you're under one of the storms, it will be pretty strong."
Other hot places in the state today included Westfield and Norwood, which recorded 98 degrees, and Bedford, Fitchburg, Marshfield, Plymouth, and Springfield, which saw temperatures rise to 97.
With the high temperatures combining with stifling humidity, the weather service advised residents to avoid prolonged work in the sun and to instead shelter in air-conditioned environments.
Boston-based Quality Roofing Co. took the advice to heart, giving its workers, no strangers to the blistering sun, the day off.
"It feels like 130 degrees on a roof today," said project manager Abdul Yahya. "No crews are roofing today. They are all inside."
Tonight will see a slight chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, while the majority of the state should stay dry, according to the weather service. Heat and humidity will remain uncomfortable tonight, with temperatures only dropping to the upper 70s.
Temperatures will moderate slightly Saturday, with Boston reaching 94 degrees.
Saturday's thunderstorms could begin as early as noon in northwestern Massachusetts. Primetime for the rest of the state will be between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., Field said.
In Southeastern Massachusetts and on the Cape and islands, the storms are expected to arrive on the later side, and much of the day could be good for beachgoing, he said.
"Elsewhere, after 2 or 3 in the afternoon, keep an eye on the sky," Field said.
A cold front will approach the state from the Great Lakes region Saturday evening, bringing an end to the heat wave after seven days. Sunday will be sunny and dry, with seasonable temperatures in the low 80s. Humidity levels will decrease Sunday, with comfortable temperatures in the mid-80s expected through Wednesday.Jasper can be reached at email@example.com or on Twitter @Jasper_Craven

I work remotely as well. It's tough, tough, tough, and I don't even have a family to take care of! When I'm up against a hundred-odd small assignments to read or thirty-some papers to grade, the laundry becomes fascinating. I realize that I need to scrub out the oven, or the fridge, or both. I decide for some reason that it's a good time to go grocery shopping (again). In short, it's very difficult for me to get anything done with work when I am distracted by my home, and it's tough for me to get home things done when I need to work. (Grading becomes strangely appealing when I realize that I've dropped yet another spoon into the garbage disposal and need to fish it out before I can run it.) For me, I really, really need to have a space that is for work only. That is the only way that I can really not drive myself nuts trying to balance things. Because I don't have an office set up, I'll usually run to the local library with my laptop. If you're able to take your work somewhere out of the house, that might be a good idea. It will make the line between "work time" and "home time" a lot clearer for you. If that isn't a possibility, then do whatever you can to make "work time" clear at home. Get into your work clothes. Set up your computer and your documents in a corner somewhere so you can't see the state of the house, kick any family members out of the room, and get to it. It might help to set a timer so you are scheduling breaks. Set the timer for half an hour to an hour. When it pings, take a few minutes. Get up, make a cup of tea, pet the cat, make sure the kids aren't dyeing the dog purple, etc. When your break is up, go back to work. It's a real challenge for some people (I'm one of them). Sometimes, I like the flexibility, but other times, I really wish my home was my sanctuary and a place for relaxation. Being in a space that is devoted to conflicting responsibilities is very challenging for me.
What are you having a problem with? Are you tempted to watch TV/ answer personal phone calls? Or is your spouse/ kids interrupting and you are looking for etiquette approved ways to tell them to stay away from you during working hours? Are you looking for polite ways to tell your boss not to call you after hours/ at weekends/ how to tell him you are overwhelmed?

HAWLEY - Although the college student claims it was a "joke," a comment made in reference to Columbine led to the closing of Lackawanna College Lake Region Center Thursday, Feb. 7.
The school occupies the third floor of the Hawley Silk Mill.
Trooper Daniel Kimes, Pa. State Police at Honesdale, said that the female student, who was not identified but said to be from the Lake Region area, made the comment to another student in class during the day on Wednesday. Another student later quoted her by posting the comment on his Facebook page, adding "can you believe" what she had said.
Another classmate in turn read this on Facebook and alerted their teacher at about 9 p.m. that evening, Trooper Kimes said.
State Police were contacted and the investigation began. The trooper said that the female student who allegedly made the comment was interviewed, insisted that she was joking and there was no substance to it.
A statement issued by Lackawanna College on Thursday morning reported that the Lake Region Center of Lackawanna College would be closed that day due to an "abundance of caution" following the verbal threat made by the student.
College officials, in consultation with the State Police in Honesdale, made the decision late Wednesday evening to close the Center. Only the Lake Region Center was affected. The College's Scranton, Hazleton, Towanda and New Milford Centers continued to operate under normal schedules. It was anticipated the Lake Region Center would operate on a normal schedule Friday, Feb. 8, college officials said.
"Although the case continues to be investigated, a female student has been identified as the source of the alleged threat. She has been removed from class pending the outcome of the investigation and Lackawanna College will act in accordance with its published Student Code of Conduct. Charges will be filed by the college if the investigation warrants," the statement from the college reads. "Lackawanna College has zero tolerance for any threatening behavior and plans to fully cooperate with local authorities in prosecuting this case, as warranted."
Paul Strunk, Vice President for College Advancement, commented, "Even really good kids do dumb things from time to time, but we have to do what we have to do. It can't be taken lightly."
There is a consequence for actions. Strunk noted that closing school the next day disrupts nearly 250 students who had paid for instruction, and teachers who had made lesson plans and now need to catch up. On top of that, Friday had the potential of being a "snow day" with classes cancelled due to a storm.
In this day and age, Strunk observed, one has to be careful even how they jest.
The Wayne County District Attorney's Office was notified, Trooper Kime said, adding that additional students needed to be interviewed.
Trooper Kimes stated that a search of the building was not made. Late in the evening, business tenants in the Hawley Silk Mill were notified by e-mail of the security issue at the college, and in a second email that night, reported that the situation had been cleared.

They are some of the biggest, most expensive, and most unique homes on the market here in Eastern Carolina and we have an inside look for you.
Pitt County Realtor Connie Corey showed us one magnificent two story home in Greenville that isn't the most expensive, but she says is one of the largest in Pitt County.
She says, "This house is right at 6,500 square feet. It features five bedrooms, 5-1/2 full baths, formal living, formal dining, family room. It has 4 four fireplaces, a pool. It's a large home but its a cozy home."
With hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings, the house provides a spacious and open floor plan. Inside the downstairs master bedroom is a fireplace, bathroom with his and hers sinks, a walk-in closet, and a private patio. Upstairs has five more rooms, each one filled with multiple windows, along with another fireplace and a shared balcony that overlooks the family pool.
Corey says, "It was previously listed at $949,000 and now its listed at $875,000."
If you want something with a water view, an 11,000 square foot mansion in Beaufort County will certainly catch your attention. Built in 2006 for boat builder Reggie Fountain, the five bedroom, six and a half bathroom house is equipped with 17 TVs, including a big screen in the movie theater room, which is just steps away from the fully equipped gym.
Realtor Tom Atkins says, "Each of the 12 rooms is individually heated or cooled with heat pumps. The whole house has a 400 horse power generator which will power the house for a month and a half if it were to lose power."
The house is three stories, including a garage. But if you don't want to use the stairs, there's always a private elevator.
Atkins says, "There's nothing like it in Eastern Carolina. It's listed at $2,995,000.
In Craven County located off a quiet dirt road in New Bern sits a gated 1-1/2 story home, that is anything but modern.
Realtor Tay Roberts says the uniquely designed floor plan was built in 1961. The countless windows throughout the house allow natural light in, giving you a perfect view of the five acres of land that surround the home.
Roberts says, "It was designed especially for this lot, whereas part of the house is built over a ravine and it is unique in all the natural light."
The downstairs, just as open as the upstairs, offers a fourth bedroom and bathroom. Patio doors lead outside to the play yard for children and a private boat dock.
Roberts says the home has only been on the market for a few weeks, but if you're thinking this open floor plan is your dream buy, get your wallets ready because it's listed as one of the most expensive homes in craven county.
Roberts says, "It's on the market for $1,800,000."

Mentoring and travel assistance grants to attend super computing conference available for UH graduate and undergraduate studentsUniversity of Hawaiʻi
High Performance Computing Outreach
Larry Wiss, (808) 956-9393
Information Technology Services
HONOLULU — Mentoring and travel assistance grants are being offered by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for their joint high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis conference, Super Computing 2008 (SC08), which will take place November 15-21 in Austin, Texas.
The Broader Engagement grants are available to undergraduate and graduate students who are enrolled full time for at least one semester during the 2007-08 academic year, and are at least 18 years of age. Faculty and young professionals will also be considered.
SC08 is committed to broadening the engagement of individuals from groups that have traditionally been under-represented in high performance computing, and the SC08 Broader Engagement initiative will award participation grants to provide travel assistance to Native Hawaiians, Pacific islanders, Alaska Natives, Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, women and those with physical disabilities.
"Successful applicants for travel assistance grants will have access to unprecedented opportunities through the SC08 Broader Engagement initiative," said Tony Baylis of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, SC08's Broader Engagement Chair. "Our mentorship program plans to provide hands-on learning, while connecting students with leaders in high performance computing and related fields. For the right individuals, this can be a career changing experience."
Dr. Susan T. Brown, Director of High Performance Computing Outreach for Information Technology Services at the University of Hawaiʻi, is working with Baylis on the Broader Engagement Committee. She noted that, "In past years, grants from this program have enabled several University of Hawaiʻi faculty, staff, and students to attend an SC conference. It's an excellent opportunity for personal and professional growth in all areas of any super computing career."
SC08, sponsored by the ACM and IEEE Computer Society, will showcase how high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis lead to advances in research, education and commerce. This premiere international conference includes technical and education programs, workshops, tutorials, an exhibit area, demonstrations and hands-on learning.
Applications for SC08 Broader Engagement travel assistance grants are being accepted through August 15, 2008. In addition to complimentary conference registration, grant recipients will be reimbursed for expenses associated with SC08 lodging and transportation, up to a pre-determined amount. More information, including a link to the application form, can be found at http://sc08.supercomputing.org under the "Conference" tab.
