Jared Estes told Marion residents he did not want to give advice, but let his story paint a picture of how drinking and driving affects even the least expecting of people.
Part of a Marion County town hall meeting Tuesday sponsored by the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, Estes spoke about his recovery after a drunk driver crashed into him, killing his wife and injuring other passengers in 2005.
Estes met his wife Paige at Bucklin High School as a homecoming candidate his senior year. Paige was a junior cheerleader that happened to be announcing the names of the candidates.
Jared had actually won, but Paige announced the wrong name.
The two got to know each other afterward, which Jared then asked her to the dance, and much later, her hand in marriage.
Estes told those in attendance about his years of surgery after the accident, and his sympathy toward the friends and family of the man that caused the accident.
He was in a coma for weeks after the accident, and did not learn of his wife's death until he woke up.
He suffered burns to 50 percent of his body and lost his right ear. He now wears a glove and sleeve that covers his right arm, as well as a hat that covers burns to the right side of his head.
At one point, calcium had formed over his inner-right elbow to the point he had to get surgery, where his arm had to be broken so he could bend it.
Estes spoke about the lows of re-learning how to walk and eat, while grieving for his wife and waiting for his burns to heal.
Afterward, members of Marion law enforcement presented information to give a better awareness of underage drinking and substance abuse.

When railroad enthusiast Tim Branner learned about a collection of newly refurbished Pullman cars running between Chicago and New Orleans, he knew he'd found the perfect way to celebrate his 50th birthday.
"My wife and I like to travel long distance by rail once a year or so to decompress," said Branner, of Windsor, Conn. "We usually ride from somewhere on the East Coast to Chicago, but we were looking for something special to do for my birthday and our wedding anniversary. We'd considered going to New Orleans on a different line, but when we heard about these Pullman trips, that decided it."
Pullman's Chicago roots run deep. The Pullman Palace Car Co., founded in the 1860s in what now is Chicago's Pullman neighborhood, introduced first-class sleeper cars to the world, and during its 1930s heyday the company's philosophy emphasized that how you got there was just as important as where you were going. To that end, Pullman pioneered luxury train travel in America with unsurpassed accommodations, white-tablecloth dining, exemplary service and upscale decor.
Unfortunately, the Pullman company fell on hard economic times in the decades after the Depression, and operations ultimately ceased in the 1960s. Sad at the thought of seeing these majestic cars permanently parked in a museum or simply left to languish, Iowa Pacific Holdings President Edwin Ellis came up with a better plan.
"The concept for present service began to develop in 2010, when Iowa Pacific was able to acquire the heavyweight Pullman car Poplar Summit," said David Ortiz, manager of the reservation call center for Pullman Rail Journeys. "Ed and his colleagues discovered how many cars suitable for restoration were still around."
Iowa Pacific owns 70 Pullman cars rescued from various freight yards and backyards throughout the country. After a series of painstaking renovations (some with price tags reaching upward of $1 million per car), passengers can once again ride in style aboard 10 of these iconic vessels. Ortiz said four more cars should be ready for service in 2014, and restorations are planned for a dozen others. Eventually, the fleet will have 40 fully restored sleeping, dining and lounge cars.
In the spirit of staying true to Pullman's original vision, not a detail has been skipped in the refurbishment process, from the Illinois Central color schemes on the exteriors to the throwback drink holders in the art deco lounge car (the ashtrays are for looks only, of course). Modern amenities such as updated shower facilities and Wi-Fi have been added for passenger comfort and convenience.
To launch Pullman's triumphant return to the rails last fall, Pullman Rail Journeys announced a schedule of two round trips running each week between Chicago and New Orleans. The one-way ride spans slightly more than 900 miles and 18 hours, with southbound trips departing Chicago's Union Station on Tuesday and Friday nights, returning from New Orleans on Thursday and Sunday afternoons.
Passengers have the option to catch the train back to Chicago after a whirlwind 22 hours in the Big Easy or to stick around for an extra few days. Riders may make their own hotel arrangements, or Pullman representatives can offer recommendations and packages.
Additional destinations are in the works; routes to New York are scheduled to start in spring 2014.
The Pullman cars attach to the back of regular Amtrak trains, but customers have the exclusive run of the sleeper cars, dining car and lounge car.
What impressed Branner and his wife, Lisa, most was the level of service.
"That's really what distinguished this trip for us compared to other lines we've traveled on," he said. "You really feel like you're riding on your own private train. When you arrive, the porters greet you personally, take your luggage and show you around. After that, all you have to do is sit back, look out the window and relax. Everything is taken care of."
"We've chosen to limit our capacity to 60 passengers on any given trip, because we believe this is the maximum number we can provide with the level of service that is our goal," Ortiz added.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner, passengers order from a menu for fine-dining-caliber meals served in a 90-foot domed scenic dining car. All meals (even beer, wine, spirits) are included.
Dinners begin with an old-fashioned relish tray that features Pullman's signature pickled watermelon, followed by salads and entrees of beef tenderloin, roast chicken or salmon. Breakfast options include hearty plates of steak and eggs, praline French toast and corned beef hash.
Drinks and snacks are available any time, and porters hop to fulfill special requests 24 hours a day.
Caveat emptor: All but the A-class sleeping accommodations are extremely close quarters, and the constant swaying motion of the train may deter travelers prone to motion sickness.
Branner, though, can't wait to do it again.
"I plan on bringing my parents next time," he said. "The most memorable ride I ever had was the first time I got on a train when I was 5 years old. This trip was right up there with it."
For info or reservations, contact Pullman Rail Journeys at 888-978-5563 or travelpullman.com. Prices range from $2,850 one way for a premium A-class master suite for two (full private bathroom, shower and double bed) to $500 for a top bunk D-class single berth.

…Then The Party Came To A Crashing Halt
Let me state the obvious in terms that Republicans can relate to. The GOP is losing market share and they have a bad brand. With a large field of Republican wannabe Presidents all trying to claim the mantle of Reagan, yet Pat Buchanan is on television saying that Republicans in DC are driving Reagan Republicans "straight back to the Democratic Party," I'd say the GOP is in trouble. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of folks.
I've always given credit to the Bush administration for being politically astute, but as is usually the case, any credit extended to this incompetent group may turn out to be too much. Bush is left with an approval rating consisting solely of his base, yet he has decided to take on immigration reform in such a way as to increase the number of immigrant workers coming into the country at a time when jobs are becoming more and more scarce. The question that immediately comes to mind is why?
As far as I can tell, the main objective of this administration has been to increase profits of the biggest corporations and the wealth of the richest Americans. Apparently, creating a permanent under underclass that will provide a continuous stream of low-wage workers for industry that has come to rely on it to maximize their profits is worth pissing off the last 28% of Americans still propping up the Bush Presidency.
George W. Bush has used fear mongering as a preferred method of gaining support for what would otherwise be unpopular policies, and it has a been pretty successful tactic thus far. I find it amusing that he is now caught off guard by the venom with which his most gullible victims are reacting to his, in their mind, completely incomprehensible stance on immigration. These people are amongst the last Americans still supporting the continued occupation of Iraq because they have been tricked into believing that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11, and they have bought into the threats that "if we leave Iraq now, they will follow us home." Now that Bush has stirred up their fears that "the others" are coming to blow up our cities, it's kind of difficult to get them to swallow the idea that letting in more "others" from across the border is a good idea. Oops.
In a related story, The RNC has fired all of their telephone fundraisers and closed its phone center. The RNC says it's because of outdated equipment, but the fired workers tell a different story, they say that fundraising has dropped off significantly and the Party faithful are in full revolt over the immigration bill and are refusing to give money. Again, couldn't happen to a nicer group of folks, not the fundraisers in the call center but rather the fear-mongering, self interested and greedy Republicans that have shaped policy for their own political and financial gain, the good of the country be damned.
Republican voters are disillusioned and unhappy with the slate of candidates they currently have to choose from. Fred Thompson is hoping to slide into the race and inspire the base in a way the current field has been unable to do. He's an actor, so he may be able to schmooze his way into the nomination of his Party, but in the end, Republican voters will be as disappointed with him as they have been with the rest. It's only a matter of time before the vast majority of voters who have ever leaned Republican will realize that the candidates aren't the problem. The GOP and what it stands for has simply become outdated. What this country needs most right now is optimism, hope, innovation and real ideas to get us moving in the right direction so we can rejoin, and hopefully lead, the world again and that sure as hell isn't going to come from the status quo Party lead by a bunch of old white guys with 20th century mindsets.
The Republican Party is all smoke and mirrors. Mitt Romney cooked the books in Massachusetts in order to make it look as if he turned a deficit into a surplus, but that can appear to happen when you overestimate the deficit, shift money from one place to another, don't contribute to the "rainy day fund" (as mandated by Massachusetts law) and defer payments until after you leave office. Rudy Giuliani made a strategic blunder by placing the emergency command center in the one place in NYC that was most likely to be attacked (and did), yet somehow managed to make his walking through the rubble of his city to get there, appear brave rather than stupid. John McCain, a man who not long ago reportedly considered switching Parties, has positioned himself as the most radical neo-con of them all. Fred Thompson is being billed as the Bible belt's golden boy, but what kind of paragon of Christian morality marries a woman young enough to be his grandchild?
The American people are tired of smoke and mirrors, fantastical thinking and policies based on wishful thinking. We're looking for representation, not a false prophet. We've been saddled with one of those for the last six and a half years. No more throwbacks, we're moving on.

Detailed STBB to pump conversion tutorial
This is a basic stacked-tube-blowback (STBB) to pump conversion tutorial. This conversion should work with any STBB including Spyders, Brass Eagles, Piranhas, ZAPs and Draguns. Although I haven't done this mod, I've read enough tutorials (listed as references) to figure out what makes the marker work. When finished, your marker should go from this:
to this:
Basic functions.
Putting it all together.
Resources and references.
Completely round valve pin. The easiest to use are Dragun The One valve pins and Trilogy Sport Autococker valve pins, but are hard to find. Wulf created one out of a threaded rod from a rifle cleaning kit. Vikingshadow modded the stock valve pin by roughing up the flat areas, covering them with JBWeld, sanding the JBWeld down to match the pin itself, and then lightly polishing the modded pin to allow for smooth travel in the valve body.
Courtesy of Fubarius:
Fully round valve pin on the left, stock valve pin on the right.
Slotted striker. This will have to be cut with a Dremel/rotary tool or milling machine. The slot needs to be long enough to allow for the bolt to slide into a fully uncocked position while the striker is still cocked.
Courtesy of Fubarius:
Slotted striker on top, stock striker on bottom.
Note: your slot does not necessarily have to go past the o-ring.
Pump handle & arms. These can be home made or you can use the PMP Trilogy Autococker Pump Conversion Kit.
Basic functions:
This section is to explain what each modification does to make the pump marker functional.
Modifying the valve pin. A standard STBB valve pin allows air to flow not only into the bolt, but also allows the air to push the striker back and recock it. Using a completely round valve pin will eliminate the flow of air into the lower tube (blowback), thus keeping the striker from automatically recocking.
Modifying the striker. Cutting a slot into the striker allows the striker and bolt to move independently. First, the bolt will be cocked and uncocked to load the ball into the chamber. This will also cock the striker. Then the pull of the trigger will release the striker even when the bolt is in the forward (uncocked) position. The striker will open the valve (via opening the gap between the valve body and cup seal) and allow the air to flow up through the hole in the top of the valve and into the hole in the bottom of the bolt, thus projecting the paintball out of the barrel.
The pump handle. The pump handle simply allows you to manually recock the bolt without taking your hand off the marker.
Putting it all together:
First, you need to take your marker apart enough to take out the valve pin and striker. Replace the stock valve pin with the completely round one. Then replace the stock striker with the modded one, if you didn't mod the striker that originally came with the marker. After you have reassembled the marker, attach the pump handle and connect the pump arm(s) to the bolt.
There are many ways to create a pump handle. Some people use PVC pipes, cans, or whatever else they have lying around. The cleanest way though is the Trilogy Autococker Pump Conversion Kit from PMP Industries. The pump handle threads into the low pressure chamber (LPC) or front plug opening of most STBBs. Vikingshadow's Spyder Sonix and Fubarius' VL Charger use this method. For home made pump handles, you have two options: under-barrel cocking or barrel cocking. The first method involves the pump handle being located under the barrel, while the second involves some kind of pipe being slipped over the barrel like a sleeve. bequickorbedead uses a combination of the two by attaching rings that slide over the barrel to the top of the pump handle. In his bolt action rifle mod, RTisgood uses the bolt from an actual rifle to move the Spyder bolt and cock and load his marker.
How you attach the pump handle and arm to the bolt is up to you. Some people put a metal plate behind the bolt and connect the pump arms to the plate while others connect the pump arm directly to the bolt with JBWeld or by tapping a threaded hole in the bolt, threading the end of the pump arm, and screwing the arm into the bolt. Here are a few different methods:
~Metal plate:
~Bolted to bolt
~Glued to bolt

Re: Detailed STBB to pump conversion tutorial
Everything seems fine on my end. Even read it twice. Im glad the trilogy pump kit bolts on other the the rod. I was going to get an adapter made for LPC ot 2k+ frt blk screw so I could use any kit.
Re: Detailed STBB to pump conversion tutorial
Dang - you beat me to it. I think it's kind of funny that people are starting to use me as a reference, haha! Hey, Mom! Look at me, I'm famous!
One thing you might add is that it's extremely difficult to find a round valve pin. T1 pins are nearly nonexistant anymore - at least in my two weeks of searching I couldn't find any. The Trilogy valve pin does NOT get sold separately - you have to buy a valve (IF you can find it) and it's about 30+ bucks. BTW - the PMP industries doesn't have the valve you mentioned above.
I just modified my valve pin with JB weld. What you need to do is rough up the flat part of the stock valve with some sandpaper - get it good and rough so the stuff will stick to it. Then mix equal parts of the JB Weld - it sets up fast so don't be lazy! Get a relatively good amount on the pin and try to form it somewhat to be round (the better you get it, the less you have to do later.) Wait until it's almost set up completely according to the directions, and then sand it smooth, trying it in your valve to check the fit. Make sure it's not too tight, but not loose either. Then, let it set up the rest of the time and polish it a little bit - not too much because it WILL take off more material.
Nice work!

Re: Detailed STBB to pump conversion tutorial
XD I made a pump this exact way over a year ago. the thread's somewhere in the custom shop I think.
The way I did my pump arm was easy. a piece of pvc pipe, with one arm on the right side (single detent) and a bolt going through a half backed imagine (so the bolt goes through the imagines bolt holes that are already there) works pretty well too like that (it would work without modifying the body too!)
jb welded the pin and slotted my striker. I had a bit of bounce last time I aired it up a year ago because the jb weld wasn't quite thick enough and I think I still had the oring on too. Took only about one hour to make the whole thing too.

UCLA Anderson Presents Fifth Annual Entrepreneurship Program for Veterans
Teaches skills necessary to create and sustain a business
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA Anderson School of Management is offering its fifth annual Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) from June 16 to June 24, 2012. The program, which currently enrolls 24 students, is designed to assist veterans who have endured a service-related disability with a foundation in entrepreneurship and the steps necessary to create and sustain a business.
Since its inception at UCLA Anderson, 77 graduates have utilized the fundamental tools procured during the program to advance business ventures and opportunities in industries that range from mechanical services and public relations to hospitality.
"We are proud to see the success graduates of this program have achieved," said Alfred E. Osborne, Jr., Senior Associate Dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management. "Returning to civilian life can be challenging. EBV provides veterans with the necessary skills and mentorship to thrive as entrepreneurs and business owners."
The program is divided into three phases: a self-study segment facilitated through an online learning platform during which students develop their business ideas; a nine day residency at one of the universities where they are trained on the process of business ownership through workshops and lectures from top entrepreneurial faculty; and twelve months of continuing consulting and mentorship from EBV faculty experts.
"EBV synthesizes everything you learn in an MBA program into a three month process, providing a comprehensive understanding of entrepreneurial principles from business planning and marketing to technology and operations management," said Joel Mjolsness, a retired army colonel and 2010 EBV graduate, who currently serves as regional sales director for northern California commercial business at Dell Inc. "I have always worked in the technology sector and UCLA EBV gave me the tools to continue to grow and succeed in the industry."
The program was founded at the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University and has since become a national consortium of schools throughout the country, including UCLA Anderson, Florida State University College of Business, Mays Business School at Texas A&M, Krannert School of Management at Purdue University, University of Connecticut School of Business, E.J. Ourso College of Business at Louisiana State University and the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University.
Each year, select EBV alumni return to provide guidance and support to their fellow veterans.
"Attending EBV taught me critical skills in business acumen, such as forecasting and business planning, that really helped take my company to the next level," said Amy Sufak, 2009 UCLA EBV graduate and president of Colorado-based Red Energy Public Relations. "My successful EBV experience motivates me to 'pay it forward' and return each year to teach, mentor and inspire my fellow veterans."
Through the generous support of its sponsors, EBV is a free program to veterans.

From The Associated Press:
The struggling San Jose Sharks acquired forwards Daniel Winnik and T.J. Galiardi from the Colorado Avalanche on Monday for forward Jamie McGinn and two prospects in a move to bolster their depth and penalty killing.
San Jose also acquired Anaheim's 2013 seventh-round pick previously held by the Avalanche in the deal that came just before the NHL trade deadline.
The Sharks just wrapped up a 2-6-1 road trip that knocked them out of first place in the Pacific Division and into seventh place in the Western Conference with 71 points. San Jose trails first-place Phoenix by two points in the division race and is just three points ahead of Colorado and Los Angeles for the final playoff spot in the conference.
The recent struggles contributed to the need to make the deal. The Sharks allowed 35 goals in the nine games, including nine in 31 power plays for the opposition. San Jose is the third worst penalty killing team in the league this season at 77.4 percent, a problem that has plagued the team all season.
Winnik, who turns 27 next month, is a proven penalty killer who had the second most short-handed ice time for Colorado before the trade. He has five goals and 13 assists in 63 games this season. He has 34 goals and 62 assists in five NHL seasons with Phoenix and Colorado and will be eligible to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Galiardi, 23, has eight goals and six assists this season and is known for his speed as a skater. He has 33 goals and 39 assists in 171 career games with the Avalanche.
The Avalanche added a physical young forward in McGinn, who was fifth on the Sharks with 12 goals and also had 12 assists. McGinn, 23, has 27 goals and 22 assists in 204 career games.
Colorado also added two key prospects in forwards Mike Connelly and Michael Sgarbossa. Connelly, 22, is in his first year as a pro after helping Minnesota-Duluth win the NCAA title last year. He has 10 goals and 20 assists in 40 games for Worcester in the AHL. Sgarbossa, 19, has 41 goals and 43 assists in 57 games with Sudbury of the OHL.

Take a countryside ride on the Queenstown Trail
From Arrowtown to the Shotover Bridge return. Highlights include Historic Arrowtown, art galleries, tree-lined avenues & Thurlby Domain's stone ruins.
No matter how many times you've made the drive between Queenstown and Arrowtown, you may well have missed the incredible local secrets around Speargrass Flat and Slope Hill Roads. These quiet country lanes and trails are home to breathtaking architecture, tree-lined avenues, historic galleries and cafes.
Here, the magnificent colours of the South Island come to life (you'll quickly see why these roads are such a favourite with the makers of car commercials)! Start your day of culture in Historic Arrowtown with a visit to local Arrowtown galleries - Nadene Milne or Arrowtown Art Gallery are both great.
Fortify yourself with coffee and a treat from Provisions Café or Mondo and set off on a ride that will literally take your breath away.
Head to the start of this ride at the Arrowtown River Carpark and follow the signs - you'll come across the Christina Roach Gallery in an historic stone cottage and David John Gallery, just opposite on Manse Road. Both within a few minutes ride from Arrowtown.
The trail through iconic and peaceful Millbrook Resort is well-signposted. Slow down and take in the gorgeous architecture and landscaping – and make a mental note to stop in on the return journey. One of the favourite local views on the trail is from the top of Christine's Hill. From here, Lake Hayes twinkles in the foreground, with the appropriately-named Remarkables Mountain Range in the distance.
A detourat the bottom of Christine's Hill left onto Speargrass Flat Road reveals more of Queenstown's magnificent architecture and art. Be sure to stop in at the old dairy factory for a visit to the Thomas Brown Gallery on your right. Marvel at the stone and schist craftsmanship dotting the landscape. Historic Thurlby Domain with its exquisite trees and tumbledown stone ruins, is a popular wedding venue and a real favourite with photographers.
Turn back along Speargrass Flat Road until you reach Shopehill. From here you have a choice about which route to take to the Shotover Bridge. Ride via Slopehill Road and enjoy this tranquil country lane diversion which has some short sharp hills or for a flatter ride, carry on west along Speargrass Flat Road and follow the signs to the historic Shotover Bridge which is an attraction in itself with 360 degree photo opportunities!
If you're tempted to continue on to Queenstown or Gibbston or Lake Hayes, just follow the signs. Otherwise, head back to Arrowtown.
Heading home, Christine's Hill will test your fitness but can be walked in around 10 minutes.
Over the hill and you've arrived at Millbrook – you're spoilt for choice - a well-earned massage or spa treatment, perhaps a round of golf? Or settle in for a late lunch or cocktail in the Hole in One Bar and arrange for your well-rested body (and bike) to be transported back to Arrowtown or your final destination for the day. Or get back on your bike for the easy 10 minute downhill bike ride to Arrowtown.

GENEVA, Ohio -- Paced by individual victories by sophomore Robby Creese (Mount Airy, Md.), freshman Brannon Kidder (Lancaster, Ohio), and senior Casimir Loxsom (New Haven, Conn.) the Nittany Lion men's squad placed third overall in a hotly contested race for the team title, Saturday (Feb. 23) at the Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championships at the SPIRE Institute. Creese, Kidder, and Loxsom led a bevy of outstanding performances by the Nittany Lions, who scored 87 points - just off team champion Wisconsin with 90 points, and Illinois in second with 87.50.
A mere four points separated the top five programs in the team race, with Nebraska following the Nittany Lions in fourth with 86.66 points, and Minnesota rounding out the top five with 86. The 87-point total was the highest indoor conference tally in program history, while the third-place finish is tied for the Nittany Lions' best-ever Big Ten indoor standing, along with the program's third-place showing in 2009. Including Friday's victory in the distance medley relay, the Nittany Lions also set a new standard for conference champions in the single season, with three individual titles and one relay gold, bettering the previous program best of two in a single indoor championship.
Loxsom, who has already been on a record-setting tear this season, outdid himself yet again, winning the men's 600 meters in a sizzling school-record 1:15.42. Loxsom's performance - which was the first victory in the men's 600 in program history - was not only enough to better his own Penn State record, but now stands as new Big Ten, meet, and facility records. In fact, the senior's effort is the fastest ever run by an American, the best ever clocked by a collegian, and the third-best time ever run in the event indoors.
After anchoring Friday's DMR victory, Creese once again proved to have one of the best finishing kicks in the business, outlasting a stacked field over a furious last 200 meters, to break the tape at 4:01.51 and become the Nittany Lions' first-ever Big Ten Champion in the men's mile. The sophomore now has three Big Ten titles to his credit, having anchored the winning men's DMR a year ago, to go along with his two gold-medal performances in 2013.
Kidder would turn in a wire-to-wire win in the men's 800, crossing the finish line in 1:49.73, leading a stellar effort from the Nittany Lion contingent in the event. Kidder, who led off the men's DMR on Friday, headlined a 21-point showing from the Nittany Lions in the half mile final, followed by fellow freshman Za'Von Watkins in third at 1:50.32. Sophomore Ryan Brennan (Chester, N.Y.) - another member of Penn State's gold-medal DMR - followed in fifth place, stopping the clock at 1:50.65. Senior Ricky West (Toronto, Ontario) rounded out the scoring, taking seventh overall in 1:50.79. With Kidder's victory, the Nittany Lions have now won five of the last six indoor 800 titles, including victories in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
The Nittany Lions saw some of their greatest point production in the sprints and hurdles, thanks to a second-place standing from junior Brandon Bennett-Green (Philadelphia, Pa.) in the 400 meters. Following a stumble with less than 200-meters remaining, Bennett-Green maintained his composure, and sprinted to a silver-medal finish in a season-best 46.82. Bennett-Green would also assist on the third-place 4x400-meter relay, along with teammates Bernard Bennett-Green (Philadelphia, Pa.), Loxsom, and Matt Gilmore (Philadelphia, Pa.). The squad clocked 3:08.56 in the event final - just off the Lions' season-best 3:08.03. Also coming up with a scoring finish in the sprints and hurdles was sophomore Sancho Barrett (Amityville, N.Y.), who clocked a lifetime-best 7.91 to take seventh in the 60-meter hurdle final.
Sophomore Brian Leap (Bellwood, Pa.) also posted a lifetime best on the day, turning in an effort of 50-10.25 (15.50) to take bronze-medal honors in the triple jump - his first-career Big Ten podium performance. Adding to the Nittany Lions' point haul in the jumps were senior Sean Reilly (Lagrangeville, N.Y.), and junior Jon Hendershot (Nazareth, Pa.), who both tied for sixth in the high jump via a clearance of 6-11 (2.11).
Coming up big in the field events was redshirt-junior Will Barr (Urbana, Ohio), who reset his own school record to take fifth in a highly competitive men's weight throw competition. Barr's toss of 68-05.75 (20.87) bettered his own Penn State best of 67-11.75 (20.72), which he set at the SPIRE facility two weeks ago. The junior's performance also moves him to 12th on the NCAA descending order list.
Senior Sam Masters (Columbia, Mo.) was also a clutch member of the Lions' roster, scoring an eighth-place finish in the men's 5000 meters - his second scoring performance of the weekend. Masters held his own in one of the most outstanding races of the championships, going 14:08.69 in the 5K, after competing in the 3000 meters less than 24 hours earlier.
The Nittany Lions will be back at it again next weekend, traveling to both Virginia Tech and Notre Dame for "Last Chance" competitions. Qualifiers will then proceed on to the NCAA Indoor Championships, which are slated for March 8-9, at the University of Arkansas.

Our favorite part from the book is when Fester Smudge got rescued from a toilet bowl because we thought it was funny. The character that we liked the most was Fester Smudge because he was the funny victim. We think the Principal from the Black Lagoon is like this book because they both have people that are really nice, but have bad things told about them. We also liked this book because the main character always got scared by the custodian.
We recommend this book to all children that are starting school even if their parents read it to them because they shouldn't think their custodian is a monster. People of all ages could also read this book because the words aren't hard to read. You could laugh at this book because most of it is funny.

2 suspects arrested on multiple charges
Staff writer
In the early morning hours on Sunday, Peabody police officers responded to a report of burglary and theft at a residence at 711 N. Chestnut St. in Peabody. The investigating officers took a report of several items missing from the residence, including a bag of frozen meatballs.
During the course of the investigation, a second call came in from the Coneburg Inn with information about another burglary and theft. The missing items included a bag of frozen chicken gizzards, a bag of frozen hash browns, and a bag of frozen mozzarella cheese sticks.
Several hours later, police received information from the public that a suspect matching the description of the thief had been seen in the general area of northwest Peabody. With the help of officers from the Marion County Sheriff's Department, the suspect was pursued on foot.
The suspect was apprehended and a short time later a second suspect was found at a nearby residence and he also was apprehended. Both were booked into Marion County Jail.
The first suspect arrested was Lucas Tullis, of El Dorado. Tullis was charged with burglary and theft, possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell or distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell or distribute.
The second suspect arrested was Brice Wright, also of El Dorado. Wright was charged with burglary and theft.
"All of the items taken from residence on Chestnut were recovered," Peabody Police Chief Bruce Burke said. "The case is solved. The theft case at the Coneburg Inn is also solved and charges in that incident will be forthcoming.
"While we don't usually encourage private citizens to get involved in situations like these because of the potential for danger, we certainly do appreciate the members of the public who turned in helpful information in a timely fashion so the information could be acted upon," he added. "The assistance from the Marion County Sheriff's Department also helped us cover and search the area quickly and make the arrests. We appreciate their help."

Well, you can try reading the manga because it ends differently there. Moreover the anime misses some stuff from the manga, and certain events play out differently in the anime. But for what's it worth, the anime is a good purchase, and you really can't go wrong with GTO. If I'm not mistaken, the manga author actually once tried to imagine --
Spoiler for ending of anime:
I guess he found the idea amusing enough to actually use it for the anime.
However, just like the anime, the manga --

I easily put GTO on my list of favorite animes. I really enjoy the series: It was funny, had romance, even had some action in it. Perfect combos of genre's. I especially love Urumi Kanzaki and her "classroom terrorism" I borrowed the series from my friend but I only bought the 4th disc because I enjoyed the Urumi Kanzaki arc.
*Update* Since tokyopop released a 1st and 2nd Semester (seasons) box set that aren't rare and are easy to find (and they are only 40 bucks each at bestbuy) Each boxset comes with 5 disc completing the series (the disc are just like if you were buying them separatly). Anyways, the series is one of my favorite animes. Nothing is changed about my favorite character, it is still Kanzaki, and she has a bigger role in the second season. It is hard for me to tell which part of the series is my favorite
Spoiler for events in the second season:
thank you for your time

One of the best animes ever. FACT. The ending seemed premature and thats because it actually is. Onizuka is perhaps the coolest ever person and the anime has a 90's feel about it for some reason, which perhaps its meant to because he seems like he grew up in the 80's. People complain about the animation but its still at a decent enough quality and the openings are amazing quality, never seen such a cool, artistic feeling opening. Forgot the names but the dork who ends up with that girl bullying him, I iwsh more time was spent with them two at the end. I am deffo going to get all the manga and prequel.

Great Anime
I first saw some eps of GTO years ago when it was on SciFi channel in the UK, when they stoped showing them ( was on friday midnight to 3 or 4 am i think ) i was pissed cuz i saw alot of good anime which included GTO, also ninja scroll, macross, akira and alot more.
I have recently started getting ahold of all the old anime i can remember ( which is hard since it was so long ago lol ) but i remembered this series easy since it was one of the funniets i had seen.
I defenatly recommend it, as for the animimation quality... since i watched the anime on Scifi years ago it doesnt bother me and i think its fine. As for the english dub ..tbh i dont no, i always watch the anime in japanese with english sub, sounds much better.
Im still watching it atm i have never seen the whole series since scifi only showed about 5 eps of any series befor changing ..kinda dumb really but still.
Iv read what u'v all said about the ending and tbh even though i havnt seen it myself yet, that kinda ending is fine to me, the endings i hate is when main characters die or its so confusing your head explodes ( points at Divergence Eve & Misaki Chronicals )
anyway yea ..great anime

HI back again
Since my last post iv watched GTO and some other series and iv been trying to find them to buy from Play.com ...
Iv noticed that theres 'GTO 2nd Semester' coming out end of this month .. please tell me its a sequal ? iv got all 43 eps dl'd atm as was ready to order them of Play.com when i saw this.. just seeing this new 2nd Semester ready for release has given me hopes that its a sequal ..any of you heared anything about it ? or is it simply a re-realease of GTO ?
Persoanly since there are 10 vol's of GTO on play.com which i think contain all 43 eps ( 4 eps per vol roughly ) this must be a sequal ..in which case i cant wait ..its 5 discs total running time of 625 minutes which is around 20-25 eps so im guesing its basicaly a OVA sequal not much more info on it at play.com atm so cant tell whats actually on the disks .. but looks promising
If anyone has any solid info on this let us know ..im sure everyone would love to see a sequal to GTO...

In all honesty the 2nd the part of GTO manga wasn't that good. And some of the students stories was done too fast. The only good part was how the Miyabi ending was handled and the Anime already covered that. You can't go back and say the final few eps never happened.

Three-Million-Year-Old Kangaroo Teeth Illuminate Ancient Australian Climate main content.
Three-Million-Year-Old Kangaroo Teeth Illuminate Ancient Australian Climate
by AMNH on
by AMNH on
In Pliocene-era Australia about 3 million years ago, massive marsupials, including giant wallabies weighing up to 250 pounds and rhino-sized grazing herbivores (diprotodontids), walked—or sometimes hopped—the land.
Today, those "megafauna" are extinct, many species having disappeared around the time humans arrived in Australia, perhaps 40,000 to 50,000 years ago. Researchers have long wondered whether humans led to the animals' disappearance—or whether climate change could be the cause.
A new study analyzing the teeth of extinct plant-eating kangaroos and other marsupials in southeastern Australia during the Pliocene era (about 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago) adds information that could help answer the question. The study was led by Dr. Shaena Montanari, a comparative biologist and a recent graduate of the Museum's Richard Gilder Graduate School, and was published last month in the open access journal PLOS ONE.
The chemical analysis of 3-million-year old fossil teeth from southeastern Queensland reveal that the climate there was likely not as arid as previously thought.
The enamel of animals' teeth holds a chemical record of what they ate: while trees and shrubs have a certain carbon isotope ratio (due to C3 photosynthesis), grasses have a different one (C4 photosynthesis). In the study, the fossil-teeth studied indicated the animals ate a mixture of both types but mainly C3 plants, which indicate a wetter, "subtropical," environment, says Montanari.
"It is vital for us to understand what types of environments Australian megafauna thrived in during the Pliocene," adds Montanari, who is currently a visiting postdoctoral scholar at the Museum's Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics and has just begun a 3-year research and lecturer position in Frontiers of Science at Columbia University. "Obtaining detailed environmental records from this time can help us find the drivers of the subsequent extinctions of many of these large marsupials."

TAKING CINEMATIC VIEWING TO NEW HEIGHTSThe Samsung Smart Plasma TV F8500 is the ultimate picture you've been waiting for and the best performance we have to offer. It starts with the new Super Contrast Panel, which delivers unprecedented brightness, the deepest black levels and precise colors and clarity. We've also added Cinema Smooth to give anything you watch film-like smoothness, no matter the original motion quality. These advanced picture features bring out every high definition detail of your favorite movies, sports and shows. And you'll have no problem finding your favorites or discovering new ones with our new Smart Hub - a faster way to navigate TV content. This intuitive central menu organizes and personalizes your entertainment world into five panels: On-TV, Movies and Shows, Social, Apps and a panel for your personal photos, videos and music.
Swipe between these panels using simple hand gestures and even use S-Recommendation with Voice Interaction to ask things like "what action movies are on?" The S-Recommendation search engine will find your favorite TV shows, movies and stored content - making what's on TV an easy choice. You can also share photos and videos from your compatible smart devices to your TV - or use your smartphone and tablet to watch what's on your TV. The design marvel continues with the beautiful brushed metal frame with curved lines that elegantly rests on a complementing stand. The F8500 is our newest commitment of meeting the highest expectations.
Super Contrast Panel: Whether watching a beautifully shot movie or sporting event the new Super Contrast Panel gives your TV picture incredible brightness and contrast. Larger Red/Green/Blue sub-pixel color areas within the panel create a picture that rivals LED TVs for brightness. To further improve the already impressive Plasma TV black levels, the Super Contrast Panel combines two key innovations. The Real Black Pro filter improves deep black levels in bright room conditions, and Adaptive Reset Control does the same for darker rooms. The result is deep, rich colors and spectacular contrast.
Real Black Pro: Through a technology advancement to both the hardware and software of the TV, viewers can experience a richer picture quality with deeper blacks, bolder color, and higher contrast . By improving the reflection reduction properties of the panel, combined with improving the reset pulse algorithm in the software, users can get the most cinematic viewing experience with the Real Black Pro.

600Hz Subfield Motion: Samsung Plasma TV generates a frame of video at 600 times a second. The result is smoother images with unprecedented picture quality, especially beneficial when viewing sports and fast action movies.
Cinema Smooth Plus Cinema smooth adjusts the frame rate of the panel for displaying 24fps source movies on Blu-ray Disc, dedicated 24p cable and satellite channels at this native frame rate. The resulting video characteristic is a smoother and more natural film like experience. Content originated in 24p but delivered to the TV at 30fps or 60 fps may have inherent motion judder, Samsung's Motion Judder Canceller smooths video content affected by poor processing.
Wide Color Enhancer Plus: Enhances hues by expanding the color range for a more vivid viewing experience especially beneficial when watching older film productions and non high definition content.
Clear Image Panel: The clear image technology feature provides anti-reflection for a better viewing experience. The single layer panel structure eliminates the production of dual images and blurring, especially at off angled viewing.

The facilities here are absolutely first-rate. There are numerous rooms designed for individual or small group practice, large rehearsal rooms, a state-of-the-art computerized keyboard lab and performance spaces that few universities can rival as far as acoustics and design.
Professor William Kenny, music, says one of his favorite things about teaching at Bucknell is that students from all areas of the University participate in its music program. Whether they are engineering, arts and sciences or management majors, one thing they have in common, he says, is a love of music and a desire to perform it a high level. "That's part of what makes Bucknell so special," he explains.
And perform it they do, in magnificent spaces that range from the Weis Center for the Performing Arts to the Natalie Davis Rooke Recital Hall, an intimate venue that's perfect for piano, voice and instrumental solo and small ensemble recitals. Other performance venues include Bucknell Hall and Rooke Chapel, where the Christmas Candlelight Service is an annual community and campus favorite.
"The facilities here are absolutely first-rate," Kenny says. "There are numerous rooms designed for individual or small group practice, large rehearsal rooms, a state-of-the-art computerized keyboard lab and performance spaces that few universities can rival as far as acoustics and design."
As chair of the Department of Music, Kenny works with his colleagues to ensure that students have access to the world-class musicians and performers that are brought to campus by the department and by the Weis Center for the Performing Arts. "Not only do our students get to see the performances," he says, "in many cases, they also get to take master classes with these exceptional artist-teachers. It's an opportunity many music graduate students and professional musicians would envy."
Kenny's courses have included everything from Conducting, Instrumental Methods, Music Theory, Jazz History, Brass and Percussion Methods, and Orchestration. He also teaches French horn, conducts the University Symphonic Band and, for many years, directed the University Jazz Band. "I'm always thrilled when graduates contact me, often years after leaving Bucknell, and tell me they are still playing or that they've unpacked their instrument again after years away from it," says Kenny. "Music can offer a lifetime of rewards. I hope all my students get a sense of that."

Students agree that "New England Law is the true Boston gem." – Princeton Review (online 2010)
If you ask students or graduates of New England Law | Boston what most impresses them about their education, nearly all of them will begin by talking about the law school faculty. They will describe their law school professors as knowledgeable, well qualified, and unusually devoted to teaching and accessible to students.
Full-time legal faculty members share the benefits of their academic credentials and high-level practice experience. Because New England Law is located in the heart of Boston, adjunct faculty are drawn from a pool of outstanding practitioners, including more than a dozen judges. U.S. Supreme Court justices also bring their point of view to the classrooms of New England Law. Justices Antonin Scalia, Harry Blackmun, and Anthony Kennedy have guest-lectured on constitutional law, and Justice Scalia and Chief Justice Roberts have taught in the school's International Human Rights Program in Ireland.
Read more about the full-time faculty.
Give your mind a workout with these faculty favorites.

quote:Originally posted by The Famous Druid: quote:Originally posted by Xanthine:They want something in return for the taxes they pay.A very good point.The total tax burden in Merkinistan is about the same as here in Oz, but you get so much less for it.One aircraft carrier would pay for an awful lot of hospital beds...
quote:Originally posted by Xanthine: They want their jobs back. They want their 401Ks back. They want their college savings back. They want their cost-of-living-adjustments and raises back. They want something in return for the taxes they pay. And since they know who's in charge, they're marching on Wall St. instead of the Capitol.I'm impressed. I thought we'd have to fall much, much lower before something like this happened.ETA: this could all end rather abruptly if good jobs (ie, the kind that pays better than minimum wage and comes with benefits) started reappearing. There's a reason why FDR implemented the CCC during the Great Depression. Idle hands breed revolutions.
quote:Originally posted by TheMoMan:Me Thinks that true campaign reform might help. Like all Candidates must reveal all donors, so the voters will know who the candidate owes favors too.
quote:OWS looks like exactly what it appeared to be from 20,000 feet, despite the claims of many in the media and other so-called "punditry." It's a group of very pissed-off ordinary citizens who [...] know damn well they got serially screwed, but they're not sure exactly how. They know who did it though, and have identified the correct targets for their wrath. [emphasis Denninger's]
quote: Dont worry about endorsing the Occupy Wall Street movement (all the diverse elements involved wouldnt even endorse each other!), but rather engage it.

Catholic Identity
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University are Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts colleges founded and enriched by Saint Benedict's Monastery and Saint John's Abbey, respectively. These academic communities are dedicated to the intellectual, spiritual and ethical formation of all their members, and to academic excellence in the search for truth. The founding and ongoing inspiration of these institutions is the Catholic intellectual tradition, in the context of Benedictine values and spirituality.
The intellectual life of these campuses embodies and affirms the harmony of faith and reason in addition to the dignity of each person, both of which are central to the Catholic tradition. There is a profound commitment to exploring how faith and reason are mutually enriching and challenging in understanding the human condition and in the full development of the human person. As Catholic and Benedictine, we support and actively encourage freedom and enthusiasm for exploring the truths of faith, for intellectual and scientific inquiry of all types and for active dialogue about the interactions among these. Members of the two learning communities are challenged and encouraged to integrate the skills of the academic life with a life of faith.
The Catholic intellectual tradition has developed over the centuries, enriched by resources and debates which have arisen from both within and without. This tradition has long held that truth is too vast for any one tradition to fully encompass it. Thus, those who stand in other faith traditions are no strangers here and are cordially invited to witness to the truth as they see it. There is a place here also for those who do not consider themselves a part of any religious tradition, but who devote themselves with passion and integrity to their disciplines, learning, teaching and to the search for truth. The Catholic identity of these schools is more than just a matter of religious sponsorship or the personal faith of some members of the intellectual community, important as these are. It is a home for intellectual and personal engagement with the ideas and traditions of Catholic culture and thought. It is also and equally an identity that commits itself to and practices Benedictine hospitality and an ecumenical welcome extending to all who enter the intellectual community as persons of principle and seekers of truth.

The Crissaegrim were home to the great Eagles of Thorondor.
The Crissaegrim formed a part of the southern Echoriath, the Encircling Mountains of Gondolin.
It was here that Thorondor, Lord of the Eagles lived, and from here he watched for spies in the vale of the River Sirion. Indeed, the Eagles were the chief source of information to Turgon and the Gondolindrim.
Its name is Sindarin for "Cleft Mountain Peaks", but in Tolkien's stories it is usually referred to as the "Eagles' Cleft" or "Abode of Eagles" because the peaks were inaccessible from the ground.

Perhaps on their web site. It all sounds a bit like someone who spills coffee on themselves and sues the establishment because the coffee was too hot. This has been an eye opening read.
