TUSCALOOSA | Thanks to the inaugural success of the Success Prep Freshman Academy at Oak Hill School, the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education this week approved expanding the academy to sixth through 12th grades.
TUSCALOOSA | Thanks to the inaugural success of the Success Prep Freshman Academy at Oak Hill School, the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education this week approved expanding the academy to sixth through 12th grades.
Because of the size of the expansion, the board also approved increasing Oak Hill's faculty and staff by 10 people and officially relocating the school to the former Stillman Heights Elementary School building in the West End, which is being occupied by University Place Elementary School.
University Place Elementary will move back into its own building this summer after the damage it sustained from the April 27, 2011, tornado is fully repaired.
"They're doing a wonderful job at Oak Hill already," said Harry Lee, a board member. "They're first-place in chess and in robotics. Now this will just give them better surroundings."
Linda Harper, principal of Oak Hill, said the Success Prep program's achievements have been phenomenal and that she's looking forward to expanding the program.
"Success Prep Freshman Academy is designed for students in need of additional instruction and support to help them become successful 10th-graders," Harper said. "It's for students who've been held back, and it's an opportunity for them to get on grade level. It's also for students who are 17 or older who have 10 or less high school credits."
Students need 24 credits to graduate high school in the Tuscaloosa City School System.
"The program is modeled after the Urban Prep Academy in Chicago, which has a 100 percent graduation rate, a 100 percent black male student enrollment and a 100 percent four-year college and university placement," she said.
Harper said when the 15 students who enrolled in the academy this year started, their math scores were far below state and national standards. Now 94 percent of the students' math scores are either meeting grade-level standards or are above them. She said the academy was able to turn around the students' math scores because the faculty formed strong relationships with students and their parents, and because they required that students master their math lessons before being allowed to move to the next subject.
"If a student didn't master a subject, I had the teacher teach it to them all over again," Harper said. "We also gave them an Algebra I class and an Algebra I lab so they got a double dose."
Harper said the faculty formed strong relationships with students by showing them that they were valued and respected. They also let students know that they expected them to achieve at a high rate.
"I think our children know that our teachers believe in them and that they're going to support them, respect and love them," she said. "When they know that, they want to give you their very best.
"We make deposits into them by celebrating them and commending them before we make withdrawals from them when there's a discipline problem or a lack of effort. It's give and take, but it all comes from love."
Harper said another key to the program's success is its flexibility. Each student's schedule is individualized, which allows the academy to focus on the skills students need to improve on the most. That flexibility also allows them to give students community service projects, teach them chess and robotics, bring in weekly motivational speakers, hold weekly open mic performances and take them on college tours and educational field trips.
"It's about showing them the community, helping them understand their importance in the community and how they affect it," she said. "We try to expose them to things that in a traditional school setting would be hard to do."
Harper said the academy could not have been successful if it wasn't for her staff of highly qualified and experienced teachers who genuinely cared about their students and believed that all of them could succeed.
Niquisha Summerville, a 14-year-old Success Prep student, said she went from making F's in math to A's because of the academy.
"I'm making A's now because they made it easier," Niquisha said. "They break it down more over here, and if you don't understand it, they'll teach it to you in a different way.
"I love all my teachers here, and I feel that they care about me. I didn't believe I could get an A in math before I came here. I believe I can get an A in any subject now because I've seen that I can do it."
Harper said Niquisha qualifies to take honors math next school year.
The Success Prep program is accepting 60 new students for the 2013-2014 school year. Forty-five of the openings in the program will be for high school students and 15 will be for middle school students. To get into the program, students must be recommended by their school counselors. They'll then be screened by a Success Prep review team that will conduct interviews with the students and their parents.
Students who are admitted into the program will have their performance monitored through a graduation tracking system.

Chekhov's gun
Chekhov's gun (Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed; elements should not appear to make "false promises" by never coming into play. The statement is recorded in letters by Anton Chekhov several times, with some variation:[1][2][3]
- "Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there."[3][4]
- "One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn't going to go off. It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep." Chekhov, letter to Aleksandr Semenovich Lazarev (pseudonym of A. S. Gruzinsky), 1 November 1889.[5][6][7] Here the "gun" is a monologue that Chekhov deemed superfluous and unrelated to the rest of the play.
- "If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired. Otherwise don't put it there." From Gurlyand's Reminiscences of A. P. Chekhov, in Teatr i iskusstvo 1904, No. 28, 11 July, p. 521.[8]

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University women's volleyball team opened their match with Conference Carolinas rival Lees-McRae College on a mission as they looked to stay undefeated in league play. The Tornado opened the match with a 25-16 victory, but dropped the second set 25-19. King the rebounded to take the final two sets 25-12 and 25-19 for the 3-1 victory.
Maribeth Kern registered back-to-back kills at the start of the match, and Summer Kremer gave King a 7-2 advantage with her first of 15 kills in the match. The Tornado (15-3, 6-0 CC) held an 8-4 lead when the Bobcats (1-17, 0-6 CC) started to comeback. Lees-McRae evened the set at 9-9 with a service ace, and Angela Morse followed with a kill to give Lees-McRae the lead. Trailing 14-12, Kelsey Griffitts ignited the Tornado offense with one of her four kills in the set. King rolled off nine straight points, capped by a Kremer kill to take a commanding 21-14 lead. King went on to take the set 25-16 behind a .435 attack percentage in the frame.
Lees-McRae came right back with a counter punch in the second set, however. The Tornado quickly jumped out to a 5-1 lead following a Payton Tipton service ace, forcing a Bobcat timeout. The Bobcats then started their comeback, and finally evened the score at 12-12. In all, the Bobcats used a 13-2 run to gain the lead, and eventually take the set 25-19.
In the third set, King started fast again as Griffitts gave the Tornado an early 7-2 lead with a kill. The Tornado then used a 10-3 run to stretch their lead to 20-9. Kremer registered all three of her kills in the set on the run while Kern added two kills. After another Tipton ace gave the Tornado a chance a set point, Kern ended the 25-12 set win with her fourth kill of the frame.
The fourth set may have been the tightest set of the night as both teams traded points early in the frame. The score was tied at 17 before King began to pull away. Olivia Underwood and Kremer registered back-to-back kills that forced a Bobcat timeout. Another Kremer kill and a Kern ace followed to force another Lees-McRae timeout as King held a 21-17 advantage. Griffitts capped the 5-0 spurt with a kill on the other side of the break, and Kremer put King up 23-18 with another kill. Tipton served up another ace to give King a chance at match point, and Grace Underwood ended the 25-19 fourth set win with her third kill of the match.
Kremer posted a team-high 15 kills while Griffitts was the only other Tornado to reach double figures with 10 kills. Griffitts continued to hit at a high clip as she only made two errors on 17 attempts for an attack percentage of .471. Olivia Underwood dished out a team-high 36 assists while Tipton posted 12 digs. Kern also reached double figures with 10 digs to go along with nine kills.
King will be in action again on Wednesday when they host Limestone College at the Student Center Complex. First serve is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

Projects Galore
I've been working on several projects since my last real post. It's overdue for an update, and it has certainly been interesting. I had setup a CVS Server, to house my software projects. However, since I've been using SVN at work, and that has been the evolution from CVS, or maybe GitHub. So I have been setting up a remote SVN Server for my robotics and other project codes. The server has been setting up, but been playing around with hardening the Server (ie. Firewall, etc.). I'm still playing around with the settings, and testing, but I'm almost there, and will be fully functional real soon.
I have been experimenting with the GPS Module I have acquired, and the sensors for Max (ie. Ultrasonic/IR). It has been fun. I've also been experimenting with the Odometry sensors, on a test jig, and tuning the ccts. Some other experiments are with Linux, and Android as they may apply to Robotics.
I have also created a couple of Arduino boards, and playing around with how small I can build it. If I have some sort of SMD or QFN Package, that would be cool. It's fun, and more like a challenge, but…been there, done that. So maybe I'll create a PCB prototype, or just modify my prototype AVR board to accommodate the Arduino design. You can check my latest prototypes in the HERE.
The Sun Bots Site is being redesigned, and will also have more updated pictures and info, pertaining to the latest, of the latest…There are a few features in mind, and some new directions I want to take the group/club, but we'll see…
At The Learned Nerd (TLN) Makerspace, we are looking into working on some other projects, including Guitar Amp, Arduino projects, Odometry, Metal Detectors, and lots more.
Sensor Fusion, Machine Learning, Algorithms, AI, Robotics for several new applications, etc…There are lots more in the works, but that's all for now. I will update again soon…ABCYA! Hope you'll come back soon…y'here?

Digoxin Oral
(di jox' in)
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Digoxin is used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It helps the heart work better and it helps control your heart rate.
HOW should this medicine be used?
Digoxin comes as a tablet, capsule, or pediatric elixir (liquid) to take by mouth. Digoxin is usually taken once a day. The pediatric elixir comes with a specially marked dropper for measuring the dose. If you have difficulty, ask your pharmacist to show you how to use it. It is important that you always take the same brand of digoxin. Different brands of digoxin have different amounts of active drug and your dose would need to be changed.
Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take digoxin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Digoxin helps control your condition but will not cure it. Continue to take digoxin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking digoxin without talking to your doctor.
Are there OTHER USES for this medicine?
Digoxin is also used to treat heart pain (angina) and may be used after a heart attack. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS should I follow?
Before taking digoxin,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to digoxin, digitoxin, or any other drugs.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially antacids, antibiotics, calcium, corticosteroids, diuretics ('water pills'), other medications for heart disease, thyroid medications, and vitamins.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had thyroid problems, heart arrhythmias, cancer, or kidney disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking digoxin, call your doctor.
- talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking this medication if you are 65 years of age or older. Older adults should usually receive low doses of digoxin because higher doses may cause serious side effects.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking digoxin.
- you should know that this medication may make you drowsy. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
- remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication.
What SPECIAL DIETARY instructions should I follow?
Your doctor may recommend a low-sodium (low-salt) diet and a potassium supplement. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a list of foods that are low in sodium and high in potassium. Follow all diet directions carefully.
What should I do IF I FORGET to take a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause?
Digoxin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- dizziness or lightheadedness
- drowsiness
- vision changes (blurred or yellow)
- rash
- irregular heartbeat
Some side effects may be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- upset stomach
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- loss of appetite
- swelling of the feet or hands
- unusual weight gain
- difficulty breathing
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
What should I know about STORAGE and DISPOSAL of this medication?
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
What should I do in case of OVERDOSE?
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What OTHER INFORMATION should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will need to determine your response to digoxin. You may have electrocardiograms (EKGs) and blood tests periodically, and your dose may need to be adjusted. Your doctor may ask you to check your pulse (heart rate). Ask your pharmacist or doctor to teach you how to take your pulse. If your pulse is faster or slower than it should be, call your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I combined two of Sakizo's sketches of Celes for reference and kind of ended up with... whatever this is. Bodice laces up the back, pants lace up the sides, boots do what boots do. There is a curtain and an entire shoebox of trim in this costume. Sword is from my first Celes, which has survived 9 years, 3 moves, a broken hilt, and a flood, and is my favorite prop that I have ever made. I will be buried with that thing.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I will never understand how antique gold spandex manages to photograph bright banana yellow, but that's okay, because I was just so happy to finally make another Celes costume after 9 years. She will always be my favorite FF girl. Tess is my gorgeous Terra.

The Movie Club 2005
Now that we have lamented the state of the Fray and extolled the flourishing Internet culture of formidable twentysomething movie lovers, all that remains is a last flurry of self-congratulation. Well, maybe one thing after that ...
Jonathan, I don't remember Scott's letter to Variety at all—which means that it's not why he's in the Movie Club. (If I'd seen it, he'd have been invited years earlier.) Anyone who doesn't read him in the L.A. Weekly is missing the next irreplaceable critic. (And he's a twentysomething, too.) Jonathan, I look to you (and your books) as a guide through this new world of DVDs—in which the buried treasures have been bubbling to the surface with breathtaking frequency. Your note about living-room film societies is something I hadn't considered. Having just shelled out for a widescreen HDTV (no, I'm not a zillionaire—this is my first new TV in 20 years and it's for work, i.e., tax-deductible), I'm thinking of hosting monthly movie clubs myself. I've already been a guest (via phone) at one that my mom and dad belong to—I tried to put Chinatown in its historical context (both the '30s, when it's set, and the '70s, when it was made) for a group that included the rabbi who'd bar-mitzvahed me. And Scarecrow—I mean, Tony. You've classed up this place since you first leapt onto the scene—via Slate, readers might recall.
And now the hard part.
In the summer of '96, Slate's first New York editor, Judith Shulevitz, was brave enough (you don't know how brave) to give me a shot at writing for this nebulous new magazine in this nebulous new medium. (My first review was of Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio.) I could never have dreamed of the adventure to come—the generous colleagues, the passionate readership, and the freedom (no space limitations, no dead trees) to go where inspiration (or lack thereof) took me. Posting my e-mail address from the start, I was blindsided by the abuse, humbled by the lucid exceptions, and downright befuddled by the praise—until I gradually learned to relax and dig the whole crazy Internet circus. I also learned to linger online for an hour after posting each review for the inevitable slew of e-mails pointing out egregious errors of fact that could quickly be expunged from the public record.
To build that kind of readership, to see this magazine find its form and flower, and, in the same nine and a half years, to get married and have two little girls who beggar my limited arsenal of adjectives … Well, my cup runneth over, spilleth onto the floor, and raineth down on the neighbors below—a sign that it's time to let someone else move in and refurbish the joint. I don't know who that will be—only that I'll be wildly jealous. This is a precious space.
My future columns will also be online, just a click away, but I will not be so ill-mannered as to link to that site here. And someday, perhaps, if I work hard and suck up to the right people, I'll be lucky enough to be invited to join the Movie Club.

VAL DI FIEMME, Italy (Feb. 26) – Liz Stephen (E. Montpelier, VT) powered into the top five in the 10k individual skate at the FIS World Nordic Ski Championships. This marks her best ever individual result, earning the top finish for the U.S. Ski Team and providing an historic best for the women's team in the event. Adding even more momentum to this year's World Champs, Stephen's teammates all finished within the top 30. Jessie Diggins (Afton, MN), Holly Brooks and Kikkan Randall (both Anchorage, AK) finished 23rd, 27th and 30th respectively. Norway's Therese Johaug took the top spot.
Liz Stephen powering into the top five in the 10k individual skate at the FIS World Nordic Ski Championships. (U.S. Ski Team - Sarah Brunson)
Liz Stephen
I would have been really psyched with a top ten and to actually have met the top five goal - which was definitely the far-reached one - I'm pretty ecstatic. I couldn't have done it without the team behind me. The first person that gave me a hug was Holly [Brooks] in the finish zone. The entire team was there afterwards. I'm so lucky to be a part of something so big right now.
I'd never skied [the course] as a skate course before. We always do it as a classic on the Tour de Ski, so I was psyched to be able to skate up those hills and just kept channeling the Tour de Ski energy and vibes. Heck, it's World Championships, there's pretty good vibes here with Kikkan and Jessie getting the win the other day. The mood of the team is outstanding right now - lots of energy kicking around.
I felt the body kind of coming this week and new feelings that I haven't really felt all season. I woke up today thinking it was going to be a good day and I'm glad it was.
Kikkan Randall
Today was a tough one for me personally. I felt like I was missing the power and capacity I had in my distance skating earlier this season. I was probably a little fatigued from the team sprint two days ago and since I haven't done very much distance skate racing since the Tour, my aerobic system may have been a little asleep.
It was still however a spectacular day as my teammate Liz Stephen was 5th in the world, just 8 seconds off the podium! I've been training alongside Liz for a few years now and have witnessed how hard she works. She has been reaching new levels this season, including skiing the 2nd fastest time up the Alpe Cermis on the Tour's final day, and she is so deserving of this amazing result. Her finish today is the best ever U.S. women's distance finish in a major championship! The whole team came out to the awards this evening to cheer her on.
The U.S. Team has some incredible momentum right now and it's so much fun to be a part of. We've got another team event coming up in 2 days and we're so excited. We have six strong women on the team right now. It's going to be a difficult decision to pick just four. But no matter what happens, we're all in this together!

Food Processors Pack In for 2010 Pack Expo
As a solo effort, the packaging show had lots of partners.
Pack Expo didn't seem to suffer any as a solo show for the first time in 14 years. The huge packaging show took up three of Chicago's McCormick Place's four halls, just over a million square feet of space and drew an estimated 44,294 visitors in its four-day Chicago run that began Oct. 31.
Both attendees and exhibiting companies were up slightly over the previous (2008) Chicago Pack Expo, which included Process Expo.
While Pack Expo remains paired with the Converting & Package Printing Expo, this was the first show in years without Process Expo, which paired itself with the Institute of Food Technologists' show this year and will be going it alone next year.
Pack Expo did maintain a "processing zone," where processing equipment vendors were centered. And the Grocery Manufacturers Association staged a concurrent Manufacturing Excellence Conference, focusing on operational reliability, product safety and sustainability.
Some other features of the show:
- The Showcase of Packaging Innovations, sponsored by Dow Chemical Co., displayed award-winning packages from 19 organizations from around the world.
- Project 2020: The Consumer Experience, sponsored by DuPont, explored packaging developments and concepts likely to occur over the next 10 years.
- National Confectioners Association sponsored Confectionery Pavilion, which was a hub for confectionery-related suppliers.
- The Reusable Packaging Association also sponsored a pavilion and hosted educational sessions and workshops.
Pack Expo returns to Las Vegas next fall, Sept. 26-28, 2011, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Some exhibitor highlights from the show:
A-B-C Packaging Machine Corp. debuted its Model 70 partition opener/inserter. It's a dual servo-powered partition handling device that requires no tools for changeovers. The twin servos drive the partition indexing/opening and inserting, blending these two independent steps into one harmonious action that ensures gentle handling for smooth opening, precise placement and efficient case packing. Lateral stabilizers square the partition after opening to "lock" the partition's interlocking panels and ensure smooth insertion into the waiting case or tray. Changeover time is reduced up to 70 percent, largely due to a design that requires no tools or change parts for a complete range of partitions.
The new CEIA THS 21e metal detector from Heat and Control (pictured right) was designed to conform to traceable event recording guidelines under FDA Title 21. It continuously tests and calibrates itself to maintain peak inspection performance. Single- and three-frequency models feature a new electronic platform for stability. A stainless steel casing and keyboard and conformal coated circuit boards allow for IP65K washdowns. One-button sensitivity preview provides an estimate of the size and contaminant material that the metal detector will be expected to identify. Easy-to-use Auto-Learn system accurately scans products in one pass, reducing set-up time and inspection errors.
Key Technology and Abco Industries announced an alliance that makes Key the sales representative for Abco food machinery in the U.S. and some of Canada, while Abco will take over manufacture of Key's Turbo-Flo Steam Blancher. The Key machine blanches and cooks potatoes, vegetables and fruits with lower energy requirements. Key also launched a new business, Integrated Solutions Group, to offer its engineering and project management experience and to embrace third-party equipment.
Reiser (www.reiser.com) featured live demos of its packaging equipment, including its Repak Horizontal Form/Fill/Sealers used for meats, dairy, fish, fresh-cut produce and convenience foods. Repak RE20 is a cost-effective solution for cook-in applications. Unlike vacuum packaging, which requires costly cook-in bags, it uses significantly less expensive rollstock film. Repak uses the rapid air-forming method, which maximizes the distribution of film into critical areas such as corners. This allows package engineers to choose thinner forming films with potential cost savings of up to 20 percent. There was also a demonstration of the Ross S45 Traysealer for Vacuum Skin Packaging for customers looking for a VSP packaging solution without the high cost of purchasing other equipment.
Sealed Air's Cryovac division (pictured right) introduced trap-printed film, providing processors, retailers and foodservice operators an opportunity for enhanced merchandising and branding. It's for high-speed liquid packages, 3-24 oz., running on Onpack vertical form-fill-seal systems. Multi-layer coextruded films have been laminated with print between the layers, allowing the outer film to be in direct contact with food, such as those used in meal kits or paired with raw meats. Ron Cotterman, executive director of sustainability, was on hand to explain the SmartLife sustainability program, an initiative to raise awareness about how packaging can advance a company's sustainability mission. Starting with Sealed Air's own manufacturing processes and walking customers through material selection, optimizing material use, performance and end-of-product life issues, Sealed Air can help customers improve their sustainability.

Mark Lane rolls a 300 at Starlite Lanes.
Mark Lane knows there's some luck involved in bowling a 300 game.
After 11 straight strikes in his first game Monday night in the Men's Night Out League at Starlite Lanes, Lane threw what probably was his worst ball of the game when it mattered most.
But somehow, Lane said he was able to make all the pins fall down for his first-ever 300 game.
"I buried the first 11, but I was pretty lucky on the last one," Lane said. "I got it out there far enough (to strike)."
It was the fifth 300 game at Starlite this year, following Jeff Bartholomew, Lane Peterson, Dean Brungardt and Skip Wilson.
Lane, who carries a 188 average for the Online Trading Academy team, has made runs at 300 in the past, but never got past 279, which he has achieved three times.
"I kind of had my doubts (about ever bowling a 300)," he said.
Lane, who is employed at Hospira, was trying not to watch the board early in the game, but realized he was perfect going into the 10th.
"I was pretty nervous (from the 10th on)," he said. "It got pretty quiet at the end."
Lane finished with 643.

A pimping suspect was arrested in Novato after allegedly beating and dragging a 19-year-old prostitute in the street Friday.
Vincent Rondel Cleveland, 24, of San Francisco was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of robbery, kidnapping, pimping, assault and other counts. His bail was set at $1 million.
The case began at about 11 a.m., when Novato police received a report of a man and a woman fighting near South Novato Boulevard and Stone Drive. The man drove off before police arrived.
The woman identified the man as Cleveland. She told police he was her "pimp" and that she also had a relationship with him, said Novato police Lt. Oliver Collins.
The woman said Cleveland punched, kicked and beat her, then dragged her toward the car in an attempt to kidnap her. Then he allegedly stole her cell phone before leaving the scene.
Police arrested Cleveland after seeing him driving on Ignacio Boulevard near Alameda del Prado.
The woman was treated for injuries from the alleged assault.

Buffalo native and movie director Steven Bernstein returns to Buffalo
Western New Yorkers are invited to attend a special screening of the film "Decoding Annie Parker" on Thursday, Sept. 26, with partial proceeds benefiting the Familial Ovarian Cancer Registry at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. The film's director, Steven Bernstein, is a Buffalo native who will return to Western New York for the film's screening prior to its nationwide release. Funds from the event will also support BRCA Gene Awareness Inc.
"Decoding Annie Parker," starring Helen Hunt, tells the true story of two remarkable women: Berkley-based geneticist Dr. Mary Claire King and Annie Parker (played by Samantha Morton), each touched by hereditary breast cancer in her own way. Parker battles the disease, while King's genetic research leads to the discovery of the BRCA1 breast cancer gene.
Women who have inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes face a much higher risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer compared with the general population. King's discovery changed the way many in the medical community approached breast cancer, and provided solace to families who, generation after generation, lost their mothers, wives and daughters to the disease.
The show will take place at the Dipson Theater in Amherst. Bernstein and Annie Parker, the patient the movie portrays, will be among the crowd at the screening. In addition, following the screening, attendees can participate in a special Q-and-A with cancer experts in the field.
"BRCA1 or 2 mutations account for about 20 percent to 25 percent of hereditary breast cancers and about 5 percent to 10 percent of all breast cancers. These mutations are also estimated to account for 15 percent of ovarian cancers," said Ermelinda Bonaccio, M.D., director of the mammography center and assistant professor of the department of diagnostic radiology at RPCI.
"It is important to educate people about these mutations because those who carry the BRCA1 or 2 gene do have options available to manage their risk. Bringing this screening to Buffalo aids in further educating our community about the significance of these genetic links," said Bonaccio, who will be moderating the Q-and-A after the movie screening.
Roswell Park Cancer Institute is home to an ovarian cancer registry - the largest collection of family histories, medical records and blood samples in the world - which is used to further understand the genetic basis of ovarian cancer so that new treatment and prevention strategies can be developed.

For Immediate Release
The Los Angeles Clippers announced today that they have signed free agent center Byron Mullens. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Mullens, 24, joins the Clippers after spending the last two seasons in Charlotte, where he averaged a career-high 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in 53 games (41 starts) in 2012-13. The Ohio native has appeared in 144 total games in four NBA seasons with Charlotte (2011-2013) and Oklahoma City (2009-2011) and brings career averages of 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.1 minutes per game to Los Angeles.
Originally drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, Mullens was acquired by the Thunder on draft night and played in 26 total games for Oklahoma City before being traded to Charlotte on Dec. 19, 2011 in exchange for a 2013 draft pick.
The 7-foot Mullens played one season at Ohio State University, earning a spot on the 2008-09 Big 10 All-Freshman Team as well as winning the 2008-09 Big Ten 6th Man Of The Year Award for averaging 8.8 points and 4.7 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game.
A star at Canal Winchester High School in Ohio, Mullens was a member of the 2008 McDonald's All-American Team.
Last season, Mullens set career-highs in 3-pointers made (66), attempted (208) and percentage (.317) despite missing a stretch of 19 games from December 22 – February 4 with a left ankle injury. He also established new career-highs in total rebounds (337) and assists (81) with the Bobcats in 2012-13.

Black & White Stripes
I've been in the market for a black-and-white striped rug, but while searching for inspiration photos I keep loving what happens when the pattern comes off the floor. On walls and upholstery, black stripes add a graphic punch and textural variety while matching basically every possible color.
Where do you like it best, as a bold all-over statement, or an unexpected accent?

Community Club seeks funds
WHAT IT IS: Members of the Saranac Community Club are raising funds for the purchase of a new two-sided, multicolor LED sign that will allow non-profit organizations, churches, Saranac Community Schools and the club to announce special events, news and emergencies within the village. In addition, the sign will display the time of day and the temperature, and will have an auto sensor to dim its light at night.
Saranac Community Club President Don Benjamin and vice president Doug Borup said they are excited for the sign and believe it will be a great asset to the village in order to help communication.
Located just past the depot on Bridge Street, Borup said the 2-by-7.5-foot sign from Strain Electric from Grand Rapids is expected to reach across the road at the height of 30 feet. It mostly will be controlled by a computer in the village office, he added.
The club is looking to raise $27,000 for the sign, and so far they have raised just under $7,000. Borup said the club members also will be applying for a grant through the Ionia County Community Foundation, and he hopes they will have the funds needed by spring.

Shinichiro Miki:
He voices Kisuke Urahara, which is one of my favorite anime characters. His voice is one of those laid back voices, but can change tones immediately to become caring, soothing, smart-ass, unamused, or passionate. You can pick his voice out in a crowd anytime with ease - and rightly so, I am sure he has plenty of practice projecting his voice since he has more than 200+ characters under his belt, and is the singer for the four man band, Weiss.
(Currently watching Codebreaker and knew he was voicing Hitomi right away!)

Providence guard Ledo will enter NBA Draft
Providence, RI – Providence guard Ricky Ledo never played for the school because of academic issues, and apparently never will suit up for the Friars.
The freshman has declared for the NBA Draft and will forego his four years of collegiate eligibility. He did not play this season after the NCAA ruled him academically ineligible.
"I want to thank Providence College for the opportunity to be a Friar," said Ledo in a statement Tuesday. "As much as I wanted to play for the Friars and help the team win a Big East championship, I felt I could not pass up this opportunity to enter the NBA Draft now. I had a great experience this season and ... I appreciate all the support from the college, the fans, my teammates and the coaching staff, especially coach (Ed) Cooley. I love my teammates and I will always be a Friar."
Ledo, a Providence native, did practice and worked out with the squad during the season.
"We want to wish Ricky all the best and thank him for his efforts this season," said Cooley. "Ricky is one of the most talented players that I have had the opportunity to coach. I am sure he will enjoy a very productive professional career."

With the excitement of Homecoming in the air, the University of Redlands football team provided its own fireworks by downing the visiting Panthers of Chapman University in a 32-13 decision in Saturday's Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) game in Ted Runner Stadium. Behind the relentless effort of the Maroon and Gray offensive line, senior running back Brad Crisanty (Granite Bay, CA) spearheaded the victory with a career-high 217 rushing yards to go along with 106 return yards, highlighted by a 93-yard touchdown return.
Senior defensive back Nick Kido (Honolulu, HI) got things started with his first two interception grabs of the season on the Panthers' opening drives. After the second pick, Redlands took full advantage of opportunity and notched its first touchdown of the night. Senior quarterback Chad Hurst(Dixon, CA) connected with sophomore wide receiver James Ramirez (La Verne, CA) for 38 yards and the first down at the Chapman 17-yard line, which set up senior wide receiver Peter Adams' (Laguna Niguel, CA) scoring reception.
Minutes later, the game appeared to be headed for a back-and-forth battle, as Chapman put together a 13-play, 86-yard drive to the house to even the score.
However, Crisanty took the wind right out of the Panther sails, when he returned the ensuing kickoff for 93 yards to the promise land, making it 14-7 before the end of the first quarter.
Both squads' defenses stepped up to quiet the scoring in the second frame. The only successful effort came on 23-yard Bulldog field goal by junior kickerKevin Grady (Seattle, WA) that followed up a seven-play drive to the Chapman six-yard line.
With the Panthers moving the ball on their subsequent possession, they opted to go for it on fourth-and-five, but the Bulldog defense squandered any chance of a first down. Junior defensive lineman Steven Locke Jr.(Barstow, CA) and junior linebacker Erik Wiersma (Bellflower, CA) registered the critical tackle for the Maroon and Gray, returning the ball to the Bulldogs on their own 34-yard line.
On Chapman's next possession, senior linebacker Jordan Garcia (Carlsbad, CA) stepped up with three big plays, including a pass break-up on third-and-long. He finished the game with a team-high 14 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss of eight yards.
The third quarter included much of the same, as Redlands converted the only score when Grady split the uprights on a 34-yarder with 8:48 left on the clock. Grady was also instrumental throughout the game by pinning the opponents deep in their own territory with precise punting and kick-offs.
As a result of Redlands' stellar defense, the Panthers managed only one drive to go beyond four downs during this stanza. This effort ended on an eight-yard sack by senior linebacker Sean Woods (Victorville, CA), giving the ball back to the Bulldogs.
With 9:20 to go in the game, Redlands initiated a drive from its own 45-yard line, with Crisanty carrying the ball 47 yards in just two attempts. This set up a 12-yard rush by freshman running back Curtis Tanquary (San Jose, CA) into the Panther end zone for the 26-7 advantage. Although the Bulldogs' two-point conversion came up short, they held the lead and the momentum for the remainder of the game.
Senior defensive back Scott Payton (Sammamish, WA) made sure of it by putting the icing on the cake when he nabbed an interception pass and ran it back 25 yards for the score. This was Redlands' fourth pick of the night and the ninth in the last two games.
Although Chapman mustered another six points, the Maroon and Gray's win was never in question.
As a result of tonight's triumph, Redlands (3-3, 3-1 SCIAC) sits in a three-way tie for second in the SCAIC, joining Chapman and the University of La Verne. The Bulldogs look forward to hosting Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges on Saturday for Senior Night at 7 p.m. in Ted Runner Stadium.

In January 2002, many Microsoft software development groups prompted "security pushes" to find ways to improve the existing security code. Under this directive, the Trustworthy Computing (TwC) team formed concepts producing the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).
Established as a mandatory policy in 2004, the Microsoft SDL was designed as an integral part of the software development process at Microsoft. The development, implementation, and constant improvement of the SDL represents our strategic investment to the security effort. This is an evolution in the way that software is designed, developed, and tested and has now matured into a well-defined methodology. Our commitment for a more secure and trustworthy computing ecosystem has also inspired the creation of guidance papers, tools, and training resources available to the public.

News Release 12-150
Patient Successfully Evacuated From Antarctica
August 9, 2012
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
A medical evacuation flight bringing a patient from the National Science Foundation's McMurdo Station in Antarctica arrived safely in Christchurch, New Zealand at approximately 3 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, Aug. 9.
Upon arrival, the patient was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Due to medical confidentiality, NSF has no additional comment on the patient's status.
NSF decided earlier this week to fly the patient out of Antarctica to receive treatment that is not available at McMurdo. The medical facility at the station is equivalent to an urgent-care center in the United States and is not equipped for the type of procedure that was being contemplated.
Kelly Falkner, the acting director of NSF's Office of Polar Programs, expressed the gratitude of the U.S. Antarctic Program, which NSF manages, to government agencies in Australia and New Zealand that provided the vital assets to make the evacuation possible.
She noted that "this is an excellent example of the benefits of longstanding cooperation with our Antarctic partners, Australia and New Zealand in particular."
The Australian Antarctic Division, which manages Australia's Antarctic research program, provided an A319 Airbus to transport the patient as well as the aircrew and medical support staff aboard the plane. The Royal New Zealand Air Force contributed search-and-rescue coverage, which is integral to any medical evacuation flight at this time of year.
Winter is coming to a close in Antarctica, but daylight is minimal and restricted to midday twilight, and temperatures are extremely low.
An additional passenger was also permitted to leave McMurdo Station aboard the medical evacuation flight because of compelling personal circumstances.
NSF manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, through which it coordinates all U.S. research and the necessary logistical support on the continent and aboard ships in the Southern Ocean.

State Sen. Joe Kyrillos (R-Middletown) said now is not the time for legislators in Trenton to hang their hats on the passage and signing of the Economic Opportunity Act.
With Gov. Chris Christie having signed the incentives bill into law Wednesday afternoon, Kyrillos said he hopes Republicans and Democrats will now find common ground to address New Jersey's tax structure, which he said is noncompetitive.
"We compromised to create more opportunities for New Jersey families," Kyrillos, one of the bill's sponsors, said in a statement released after the bill signing. "This should be the bridge to comprehensive tax reform that New Jerseyans have been waiting on for far too long."
His statement also referred to remarks that Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) made on the Senate floor last week related to the high cost of doing business.
"With more Democrats now realizing the issue, the chances that this Legislature will finally fix this state's noncompetitive tax structure are much better," Kyrillos said.
But Lesniak says to him, it sounds like Kyrillos "is throwing down a lot of hot air for political purposes right around election time."
If a real discussion on tax reform were to take place, Lesniak said he'd start right off with enacting a millionaire's tax — an income tax surcharge paid by the state's wealthiest residents — that Kyrillos has previously opposed.
"I believe in fair comprehensive tax reform across the board," Lesniak said.

Juan Roman Riquelme has spoken of his happiness at having had his contract suspended by Boca Juniors, and says he is not interested in what Diego Maradona has to say after the Argentina legend questioned his motivation.
The 34-year-old has not played for Boca since their Copa Libertadores defeat at the hands of Corinthians, announcing his desire to leave the club.
And the Xeneizes president, Daniel Angelici, confirmed on Friday that Riquelme has been allowed to have his contract suspended, meaning that he is now officially on unpaid leave and free to sign for any team outside of Argentina.
"I've left the club and I'm happy with my decision. My last match was a Copa Libertadores final," the former Barcelona playmaker announced at a press conference.
"I'm not interested in whatever that guy [Maradona] says. I won three and I lost that last one which I also wanted to win. I'm a man who always keeps his word. I have fulfilled all my dreams as a player.
"From now on I'll just be a Boca fan and I'll wish them well. Now it's time for Leandro Paredes to shine. He is 18 years old and is a great player. I don't want to stay and stand in his way.
"I feel I play better than before. So if you have a team, just let me know and we'll kick a ball about."
Current Barca star Andres Iniesta revealed this week that he remembers the time he spent with Riquelme fondly, and the former Villarreal star was quick to return the compliment.
"Andres is a good guy. I was there when he made his debut at Barcelona when he was only 16. I used to hang around with him a lot during my time there.
"I have a lot of admiration for him. It makes me happy that Iniesta remembers me."

The federal government has not ruled out legal action over the NSW government's decision to build homes in the flight path of Canberra Airport, Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says.
In its plans for the $400 million venture, the O'Farrell government on Tuesday approved the rezoning of the Tralee Housing Development to allow 2000 new homes south of Queanbeyan
But the federal government says the development will stymie its own plans for Canberra Airport.
Mr Albanese on Wednesday said court action remained a possibility and he had written to the NSW government, appealing for a reversal of the decision.
Canberra was the only airport in an Australian capital city that had a flight path free of housing development, Mr Albanese told reporters in Perth, while unveiling plans to improve aircraft noise monitoring in the city.
"You only have to talk to residents under the flight path who live in houses here in Perth or other capital cities to know that if you had a situation ... (like Canberra), it would be a pretty dumb idea to retrospectively fit housing under the flight path," he said.
"The NSW government has actually changed its planning zoning for under the flight path at Canberra Airport to allow housing development.
"That doesn't make any sense at all."
Mr Albanese said infrastructure that didn't have an impact on communities was a precious resource that should not be given away.
"So I'm very disappointed with the NSW government's decision," he said.
"We're looking at all of the options available to the commonwealth in order to intervene in this, and in the meantime, I've written to the NSW premier and planning minister asking them to reconsider this very bad policy decision."

Promotional products offer long-term benefits, such as motivation and recognition, that extend way beyond the idea of goodwill.
Years ago, when companies purchased promotional items, there was often a feeling of bribery attached to the gift. The idea was, I'm giving this to you so that when you need something, you will come to me for it - sort of an understanding of an obligation down the road. In a sense, it was a way to establish "goodwill" with a business partner.
Today, businesses are smarter. Promotional products are no longer just thought of in terms of the goodwill they yield, but in the solutions they provide. Businesses are no longer willing to just spend on advertising, every penny that is expended has to be calculated to produce a return on investment.
This doesn't mean that companies don't have goodwill in mind when deciding how to spend their advertising budget, it's just that goodwill is not enough. Goodwill is the constant. It's always a part of it. It is the one basic starting point for every promotion.
If you give a promotional item with a basic message, the goodwill is the basic starting point. A program is nothing more than getting the particulars in place to get the message delivered.
Getting that message delivered cost efficiently is where promotional products work best. All other advertising involves waste. Promotional products are a targeted medium so the goodwill and the message get to the very person for whom it was intended.
If half of your advertising was wasted, then that means the half that did get to the potential customer has a heavier burden on it to meet the goal of the return on investment. With promotional products, since most can be directed, the burden of the return is far less.
