A spokesperson for the Houston Police Department says a Beaumont man shot himself at IAH terminal B because of a love loss.
A statement issued by the Houston Police Department says around 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Carnell Marcus Moore, 30, of Beaumont, suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head and a gunshot wound to the his right chest. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene. His cause of death is pending autopsy results from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.
A police report by HPD Homicide Division Sergeant B. Harris and Senior Police Officer M. Waters says Moore drove to the passenger arrival area of Bush Intercontinental Airport's where he parked his pickup truck and went upstairs to the passenger departure area, carrying a suitcase. About 1:30 p.m., witnesses reported he cleared the immediate area of civilians and then produced a pistol and fired twice into the ceiling. A nearby Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent on-duty ordered Moore to drop his weapon. When Moore refused, and instead raised his weapon, the special agent on-duty, fearing for the safety of the citizens in the terminal, discharged his duty weapon one-time, striking Moore in the right shoulder. Almost simultaneously, Moore shot himself in the head. The firearm used by Moore was recovered as well as an unfired AR-15 rifle. The rifle, along with a suicide note and cartridges were found in Moore's suitcase.
No one other than Moore was reported injured.
The police statement says investigation revealed Moore was distraught over a love interest in Beaumont. After confronting her earlier in the week, he left Beaumont on April 30 and checked into a Houston hotel, where he stayed until Thursday's incident.
As investigators released at a news briefing this morning (May 3), the suicide note read:
"Here in the last hour, I yield to mercy when this could have turned out bad. Jehova found a path to my heart, that love would conquer anger. The monster within me was getting stronger and while I could not save myself I could spare others. (name redacted) I love you so much. Peace is within sight. I ask that authorities handle my disposal."
The Houston Police Department was assisted in this investigations by numerous agencies, including the FBI Houston and FBI Beaumont, The Office of Homeland Security, the Beaumont Police Department and the Harris County District Attorney's Office.

Miami Twp. festival expands to two days
MIAMI TOWNSHIP It has grown so large that township officials have made Midsummer at the Meadows to a two-day event.
The festival in this Clermont County township will take place 6 to 11 p.m. July 12 and from 2 to 11 p.m July 13 at Miami Meadows Park, 1546 Ohio 131.
Kim Laing, community relations coordinator for the township, said township officials expanded the event because of growing crowds during the past three years.
In 1999 it was planned as an opening celebration for the park. But it attracted 5,000 to 6,000 people.
It was such a huge success that the trustees and (township administrator) Dave Duckworth thought, "Let's turn this into an annual event,' Ms. Laing said.
In 2000 it was called Midsummer at the Meadows and attracted 8,000 to 10,000. Last year it attracted 12,000 to 14,000.
It's a chance to explore the township a little more, to get into the park, Trustee Mary Makley Wolff said. It's a chance to play, a chance to enjoy what your community is about. It's a way to create some sense of community for Miami Township.
Among the highlights:
Taste of Miami Town ship, featuring at least a dozen restaurants.
Kidz' Fun Zone, featuring magic shows, petting zoos, games and an obstacle course. Wristbands are $5 per child and provide unlimited access.
Little River Run Car Show, 2 to 6 p.m July 13, featuring a display of hot rods from around the area.
Concerts with Gary Puckett at about 8:30 p.m. July 12 and with Paul Revere & The Raiders, about 8:30 p.m. July 13.
Rozzi's Famous Fireworks following the Paul Revere concert.
There is no charge for parking or general admission to the event.

Samsung Expected to Announce Camera Optimised Smartphone
Published on: 14th Apr 2014
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Samsung seems preparing to launch a new smartphone optimised for camera users, or maybe something else entirely different.
A simple tweet from the company's official Twitter account advertised a press event in Singapore later this month that seems to be used to show off something branded as a K-product.
What hints at a camera feature is that they say to "kapture the moment", which spelling aside, is a photography term.
This could be the expected announcement of a zoom version of the Galaxy S5 to match that of the Galaxy S4 Zoom that was announced last year.
The press event takes place on the 29th April.

Blow To Stamford: UBS to Eliminate 3,000 Jobs at Connecticut Office.
Troubled Swiss Bank UBS will eliminate 3,000 jobs at its Stamford, Connecticut office as part of a reduction of 10,000 jobs in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States. The financial giant has endured a string of troubles, most of its own making, and continues to face international inquiries on its role in a vast scheme of interest rate rigging.
In 2011, Democratic and Working Families Governor Dannel P. Malloy agreed to give UBS $20 million to keep some of its jobs in Stamford. The taxpayer-financed arrangement for the financial giant did not anticipate the latest UBS revival plan. The New York Times has more on the billions in costs UBS expects to save with the painful overhaul.

…time for a Father's Day Resolution?
(c) 2016, Davd
Father's Day this year, i plan to be with one of my sons, and his sons… and a few other relatives. One of the grandsons has a birthday this week, and that will get some attention, but the grandson's "main party" will be on Saturday. It's not that different, the day i expect, from Father's Days when i was a grandson and my father and grandfather were honoured.
Sadly, it is much less common than it was 60-70 years ago. When i was the boy rather than the middle generation father or [now] the grandfather, most children had fathers who lived under the same roof with them, who they saw every day, who assigned them chores to do, and often worked with them; he took them to church, out fishing, to the circus or a ballgame… even to libraries and museums.
In those years, Father's Day was a Sunday when the father in the household got priority, and also put some effort into making the day fun for the rest of the household, especially the children. It was a variation on, not a departure from, normal family life.
Now, too many households are fatherless… and not to be nice where that might conflict with the truth, there will be a significant number where a man who doesn't get to father the children day-to-day, is put through a "Father's Day" routine that unlike the Father's Days i remember, is a departure from rather than a variation on normal family life. It may sometimes be better than nothing; it is much less than fatherhood…
… and fatherhood is where men and their children thrive. Children with fathers do better, achieve more, do and suffer less harm, than fatherless children; and Hancock [2007] gave several statistical specifics, with citations to sources of that and what were then recent years;1 i last accessed his article this week.
Instead of giving women incentives to leave marriages and deny children the benefit of their fathers, "society" should be giving women (and men) incentives to be monogamous and faithful. Separating fathers and children should be ordered only when a wrongdoing2 has been proven3. For that matter, marriage promises should be taken seriously when made! and applications to break them other than "for grievous fault" should not be rewarded financially nor with the care of any children involved.
(For clarification: In stating the case for fatherhood, for fathers living with their children day-to-day, i am not trying to extol the "nuclear family" pattern that was also common in my boyhood years. The ideal family household should have three generations present, sometimes four, and a total of ten or more members. It was the convenience of employers and "labour mobility", not family well being, that nuclear family housing served.)
A father is a man who rears the children he has sired. In North America and most or all of Europe, those children normally all have the same mother (where "normally" is based on the "normal" promises of lifelong marriage, which were mostly kept in my boyhood years but today, are not kept by even half the couples who say them.)
If a man rears children he did not sire, he is a stepfather. Step-fathering is an honourable, even noble work; and the fact he has less in common genetically with those children than he would have if he had sired them, makes the job a bit more difficult. Being biologically close facilitates understanding one another.
If a man has sired children but does not rear them, he isn't fathering; and "sire" is probably the best word to use to describe his relationship to those children. It is also the usual word for the male progenitor in animal breeding. Those sires often get for their human owners, a "stud fee," and never to my knowledge is a bovine, canine, equine, porcine, … sire or its owner required to pay any equivalent of "child support".
The notion that a human sire should pay "child support" might make sense if that sire married, or promised to marry, the mother, and then wasn't faithful to his word. It might make sense if a mother's whole working strength went to caring for and rearing children and their sires could expect to benefit from those children when they are grown. It makes precious little sense when the mother has a good job and the sire has no fatherly relationship to the children.
When the sire's relationship to the children is limited to having got their mother pregnant, Ian Fleming, in a James Bond story set in Japan, provided a name more accurate than anything implying fatherhood: "cock tax". Barbara Kay was more polite in writing about the Marotta case, in which a man who provided sperm to enable one of a Lesbian couple to become pregnant was then ordered to pay support for the resulting child, but she made much the same point: The State, rather than support a single or Lesbian mother, will require the sire to do so, however little of a father he may be.
No fair. Which is to say, "cock tax" is not fair if a man promised a woman no support and provided only sperm.
Maybe Mr. Marotta should have collected a Stud Fee. Maybe many readers who think of helping a woman get pregnant, or worry that a woman will make a deliberate contraceptive "mistake" and do so, should say during the process leading up to intercourse, that they charge a Stud Fee. Which is not to approve breeding children as if they were calves or piglets. Maybe calves and piglets grow up well enough without fathers… and maybe we don't want children treated like cattle and pigs.
Children—even puppies (Mowat, 1963)—do better when they have fathers.
Mere sires are not fathers… and apart from the misuse of Child Support orders, that's not good for society. Fatherless children don't do as well, statistically, as children with fathers. Hancock [2007, cf. Millar, 2009] has been mentioned; Brown [2013] concurs.
Fatherhood, what's more, seems as natural to humans—and wolves (Mowat, 1963)—as motherhood, eating, and sleeping. Fathers separated from their children miss them. Children separated from their fathers miss them. Children who have the benefit—and enjoyment—of fathers in their lives, do better. The safest place for children, in general, is with their natural fathers4.
Fathers are not perfect—nor are mothers, nor children. If the nuclear family left children worse off for lack of grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin and other extended family relationships, the fatherless family leaves them still worse off. Larger families seem to make individual members' imperfections less damaging. Restoring fatherhood, and for that matter extended family relationships, will do far more good than harm.
The least we should aim to do, is have more children living with their fathers, fewer children fatherless, a year from now.

1. Hancock reports that:
‣ 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) — 5 times the average.
‣ 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes — 32 times the average.
‣ 85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes — 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)
‣ 80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes —14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)
‣ 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes — 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)
‣ 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes — 10 times the average. (Rainbows for All God's Children)
The citations are his, most likely to sources from 2005-2007 or shortly earlier.
2… by the father …
3. Perhaps a further condition for demonstrated risk might be added, if good replicated research showed that risk of serious harm to children could be accurately forecast. Statistics show that men other than fathers, even mothers, are a significantly greater danger to children than their fathers. The say-so of a woman who is vexed with or weary of something in her marriage or cohabitation, should be treated as more likely showing her own inadequacies.
4. There is, one should perhaps admit in anticipation of dispute, a minority of men who aren't fit to be fathers. Likewise, a minority of women aren't fit to be mothers. Best if those unfit to be parents, are identified before they reach sexual maturity, and either persuaded to abstain from sex, or if that persuasion is not likely to succeed, perhaps even sterilized. It's not as if Planet Earth were underpopulated with humans.

Longest Wall of Fire-world record set at Yuma
Air Show
YUMA, Ariz., USA --The
Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma created a 15-story
wall of flame nearly two miles (10,000 feet) long-setting
the world record for the Longest
Wall of Fire.
Photo:The longest wall of flame soared
into the sky at the Yuma Air Show, causing thick smoke to
cast a shade over the air field and thousands of spectators.
-photo by Laryl Hancock (enlarge
Event organizer Roger Lopez, the
Marine Corps Community Services marketing director. says the
Wall of Fire was made up of dynamite, electric blasting
caps and 20,000 feet of detonation cord. A bomb squad coordinated
the blast along the stations flight line.
World Records guidelines for the Longest
Wall of Fire state that the fire wall must be continuous
without gaps for at least five seconds, with flames reaching
at least 40 meters high.
The inferno was the finale of a day filled
with daring flights by aerobatic pilots, skydivers and military
jet fighters.
A Marine dropped the plunger setting off
the charges as a flight of replica World War Two Japanese
Zeros buzzed the runway. The Zeros, along with a few Kate
Bombers, had just finished re-enacting the Dec. 7, 1941 attack
on Pearl Harbor, which they dubbed "Tora, Tora, Tora!"
The previous world record for the longest
wall of flame was a 6,636-foot wall of flame set in 2007 at
the Indianapolis Air Show.

The Bud Moore-prepared 1972 Ford Torino. Photos courtesy Russo and Steele.
Though best known for its NASCAR prowess, Bud Moore Engineering spent three seasons in the highly competitive world of Trans-Am racing, taking the championship with Ford Mustangs and drivers Parnelli Jones and George Follmer in 1970. The lessons learned in Trans-Am, particularly in regards to building competitive small-block V-8 engines, would pay big dividends for Bud Moore as the team returned to NASCAR competition for the 1972 season. Though the Bud Moore-prepared 1972 Ford Torino failed to capture a Winston Cup Championship, it represented the start of a new era in NASCAR racing, and the death of the big-block V-8 in stock car competition. That should make the car appealing to fans of both stock car racing and Ford Motorsports when it crosses the block in Scottsdale, Arizona, next month.
Just as emission laws and engine downsizing were impacting the design of new production cars, they were impacting NASCAR rules and regulations as well. Moore believed the small-block Ford 351 Cleveland engine could be competitive in NASCAR's Winston Cup series, so as an experiment for the 1972 season, the team built a 1972 Ford Torino and entered the car in nine races, with four different drivers. Though the car failed to take a single victory (or for that matter, a podium finish), it proved reasonably competitive with a fourth-place finish in Atlanta with driver David Pearson at the wheel.
For 1973, Moore negotiated a sponsorship deal with fuel-additive manufacturer Sta-Power, allowing him to hire 1970 NASCAR champion Bobby Isaac for the entire season. Though Isaac retired early in the season's first race at Riverside, a second place finish at the Daytona 500 showed that the combination of car and driver was capable of producing podium finishes. Through the next 17 races, Isaac delivered 11 top-10 finishes, including five in the top five. Things went wrong at Talladega, in August of 1973. When Ramo Stott's engine exploded on the track's back straight, it dumped oil across the surface and produced a smoke screen that hindered driver visibility. The result was a 21-car pileup that led to the death of racer Larry Smith, who was reportedly killed by a minor impact with the wall after tearing the padding from his helmet to make it more comfortable. Just a few laps later, Isaac pulled into the pits and exited the car, supposedly saying that an ominous voice in the car warned of his own death if he continued with the race. Shaken, Isaac walked away from the sport that had made him its champion just three years before.
Though Isaac's retirement from stock car racing would only last until the 1974 season, it still left Bud Moore Engineering without a driver for the season's remaining eight races. Enter series rookie Darrell Waltrip, who'd made his debut during the 1972 season, but was still eager to prove his potential. Waltrip drove the Bud Moore car for five of the last eight races, delivering a single top-10 finish and a string of DNFs.
Darrell Waltrip poses with the car in 1973.
The Bud Moore Engineering 1972 Ford Torino to be offered in Scottsdale was used as the team's super speedway car during the 1972 and 1973 seasons. Following the conclusion of the 1973 season, the car passed through a series of owners, including Ron Spohn of Monroe, North Carolina. Spohn campaigned the car in local ARCA races for a brief period, then stored it until 1986, when it was sold to Bill Bradford of Huntsville, North Carolina. Bradford funded the car's restoration by RACEtorations in Gastonia, North Carolina, and debuted the restored car at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in July of 1998.
Purchased by its current owner in 2011, the car has been campaigned in vintage events such as the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival and has been used for pre-race activities at selected NASCAR races. Its 351-cu.in. V-8 produces 475 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, and bolts to a top-loader four speed transmission that was new at the time of the car's 2011 sale. To ensure safety on the vintage racing circuit, the Torino has received upgrades to its fuel, cooling and brake systems, bringing it up to modern standards.
Authenticated by Bud Moore and his son Greg, the car is described as one of the most well-documented historic stock cars in existence, and Russo and Steele states the car is "believed to be the last remaining Bud Moore Torino." The auction house expects to see a selling price between $150,000 and $200,000 when the car crosses the stage on January 18.

These were the cars that made NASCAR not the cookie cutter cars of today, I wonder if any of todays drivers could drive one of these cars for 500 miles.
Im SO with you Paul!
TODAYS "STOCK" cars are SO BORING!
I love the shape of these cars. That's why I have one . It is next on my list of restorations.
Given the physical conditioning most of today's drivers claim, with their "workouts and physical trainers" on the payroll, I'm certain they would be up to the physical challenge, but I imagine they would never win a race from coming back to the pits to "make this thing handle". I think the mental strain to drive one of these would knock most drivers today out of commission. Just my .02
They might complain about the handling and lack of power steering. Dale Jr. used to have a show called Back in the day where he would run the old cars around the track a bit and then comment on them. Apparently he's a big fan of the old sleds.
Jr. consider's himself a historian of the sport.he grew up around it and should know something of it.the Cleveland motor has some weak spot's that came up but the engine builder's dealt with them as they surfaced.
Bud Moore Engineering also had a hand in the one-year factory Trans Am Group 2 campaign of the Mercury Cougar during 1967, with drivers Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, Ed Leslie, Fred Lorenzen, etc.
It would really be cool to return to these old days when NASCAR raced real cars, not today's cookie-cutters with decals for headlights. Over-formulation and regulation has made for boring parades. Same thing with F1
def. agree on F1
I enjoyed the sport back in the 60's and 70's much more than today. Back then the "S" in NASCAR seemed to mean something.
Many of the old cars – from what most of us old enough consider the golden era of stock-car racing – run at vintage events, as the lead photo shows: that's a Sears Point/Infineon vintage race. The money and rules packages nowadays, the safety advancements, the current body styles, and time itself have pretty much precluded seeing a return of those days for the mass market, but the sensory pleasures are available at vintage events.
Around 1981 I was working in the Parts Dept. at a Ford dealership and was driving a 72 Ranchero.
I hopped it up a bit with a 351 Cleveland and a "shaker" hood scoop from Torino Cobra.
In the parts microfiche there was a part number for a "heavy duty NASCAR" rear sway bar for a 72 Torino. Did a dealer search and found someone had one in their stock the next province over.
They were happy to get rid off it and man did it ever tighten up the rear end on my Ranchero.
this is a long shot but any chance you have a part number record of the HD NASCAR rear sway bar you discovered? Sounds like you were in Canada at the time as well. I own a '72 Ranchero!
'70/'71 with their pointed front fenders were the best designs.
While in the Air Force, I hit a deer [on base] with my '71 2-door hardtop. The Security Policeman, didn't want to bother 'with the paperwork,' so, since it was bow hunting season, he wrote it up as an arrow kill. He said….'well, your front fender is pointed.'
And I was lucky…I was travelling about 50 mph at impact. The '500' fender had a small bolted on piece forming the 'point' where the fender and bumper met. The bolted piece was pushed up about one half inch, and repair consisted of a couple taps with a rubber body mallet.
That being said, every time I see one these coke bodied Torino's used by the Bud Moore team, all I can think of is the 'striped tomato' used on the Starsky and Hutch TV series.
I agree with many of the poster's above that the cars had much more personality in the 50's 60's and 70's and even early 80's when they were far closer to regular production pieces, certainly made it more fun to watch. I will also add that the driver's (and crew chiefs) has much more personality back then as well so overall it was a much more interesting sport to follow. However I have to strongly disagree with those of you who think the driver's of today couldn't cut back then! Good race driver's can adapt to the conditions and machines they are driving no matter what type of racing they are doing. I submit they are all the sum of their natural talent, intelligence, mental toughness and experience. I count the Gurney's, Hill's, Clarks, Fangio's etc as my all time favorites but am confident that many of today's top drivers in any facet of the sport could have found success back then also. Now to confuse my post even more—did Bud Moore get a weight break for running the smaller motor??
From paragraph 2: "Moore believed the small-block Ford 351 Cleveland engine…"
I have never heard the Cleveland called a small block before. The small block 351 was called the Windsor as far as I know. Have I missed something?
R. Henry, here's more proof that Ford considered the 351 Cleveland a small block:
both 351 w and Cleveland use the same bellhousing. the m motor's use the 429-460 bellhousing pattern.
The 351C is a small block, The 351M, & 400 not only use the 429 – 460 bellhousing bolt pattern (requiring the use of a different bellhousing/ or transmission) But also share the 429 – 460 engine mount. Different than the 351C, 351W, 289, etc. Making it a difficult, but not impossible engine swap if looking for more cubic inches…
the 351m/400 have a unique motor mount setup diferent from the 385 blocks, but the bellhousing is 385 series (370/429/460) there were also a few 351m blocks cast with a small block bellhousing pattern in 1974 but I have only seen pictures of one. the 351c was only until 1974, although many people think that their 351m is a "c".. bane of every parts guy back in the day.
oh yeah I forgot. ford had the austrailian casting's which were thicker and had more nickel in them for strength and durability.
Is it me or are there a lot more features on various race cars lately? They seem to get a good amount of response from the posters, but I for one am not oh so interested in these cars.
Toivo, it's just the luck of the draw. As the auction houses start to preview lots for sale in Scottsdale next month, we try to pick cars that have a story. Coincidentally, more of these have been race cars as of late.
I think you'll like the auction preview we have running this morning.
So how did he get 475HP out of the 351C ??
How to get 475 HP out of a 351C?
start with a good 11:1 compression, flat tappet solid lifter cam .69 lift 108 duration and a 750 Holley atop a strip Dominator intake feeding a set of polished iron 4V Cleveland heads, dumping out though a good set of 1-7/8″ or larger headers.
then pull one spark plug off.. 🙂 ~blizz
Sorry… the 351C used the same motor mounts as the 351/302 motors. You are thinking of the 351M that used the big block (429/460) mounts.
That's part of racing history. Glad to see it still looking great. That's what racing was back then. Looking more like the street cars. Finally they realized that is what helps sell cars. Race Sunday, sell on Monday. That's why I bought a 72 Torino back then. I also used 351c for my drag racing years. Done right they do give the other brands a run for there money.
Hope NASCAR is reading these comments. Generic race cars and dominant multi-car teams are the primary reason you can walk up and buy good seats on Sprint race day at any track. It's not the economy keeping fans away.

- Description
The Lascaux Retarder and Ultra Retarder slow down the relatively fact drying of acrylic paints and increases their working time (the Ultra Retarder up to three times more than the regular retarder). Adding them also reduces the evaporation speed of the water portion and has the effect that any acrylic paint that has already dried can still be solubilized with water or a fresh application of paint for about an hour (with the Ultra Retarder even more hours!). This can be particularly useful when engaging in the wet-in-wet technique. Please note that the retarder will also of course lengthen the time required for your paint coat to completely dry.
Both of these painting mediums will not change the hue of your paint; the Ultra Retarder only changes the viscosity of your paint a small amount.
These retarders are only for use when painting on non-absorbant substrates. We do not recommend their use outdoors because the paint will stay soft and water-sensitive for a longer time, which increases the chances that in the case of rain your paint will tend to swell to a troublesome degree.

As healthcare marketers we often say vague things like "social media is a conversation" but what we really mean is, unlike traditional marketing and communication which were uni-directional, social media is a two-way discussion medium. Not only can hospitals communicate with patients but patients can also communicate with doctors and with each other!
In general, this type of communication is great — patients and physicians form personal relationships and become part of a community around the hospital brand and service lines. However, we have to be careful because when we open the conversation to anyone, we can invite negative criticism and we need to be prepared to deal with it. Here's a quick guide to dealing with negative feedback on your social media toolkit.
The first step in dealing with negative commentary on your social media networks is to determine what type of feedback you have received. "Negative feedback" comes in a different "flavors" and each type is dealt with in a different type of response. Determining and understanding which type of feedback you are facing is an essential step towards choosing how to mold the appropriate response.
:: Straight Up Problem :: A patient or referring physician may have a problem with your hospital or service and may have published a list of what what went wrong. This type of feedback is very negative and paints your hospital in a very poor light. On the other side, this type of feedback can be very helpful in exposing genuine problems that need to be dealt with and gotten rid of.
:: Constructive Criticism :: The best type of criticism to receive is when the feedback comes with a suggestion attached. Many patients— including the most loyal ones, will use Twitter, Facebook or your blog to suggest ways in which you can improve your facilities, service or care. While this feedback does point out flaws, it can be very helpful to receive.
:: Warranted Attack :: While the negative comment itself may not be merited, the issue that initiated it has merit in this type of feedback. You, your physician or your nurse did something wrong, and someone is angry.
:: Wildcat :: This is an annoying type of negative feedback! The difference between a wildcat & a warranted attack is that wildcats have no legitimate reason for being angry at the hospital. This feedback is a waste of everyone's time!
Now that you have decided the type of feedback you have received, the next step is to decide on the right type of response.
The first rule in responding to criticism is to always stay positive. Avoid fueling the fire and adding more negativity to the social conversation by letting your hospital be drawn into a public brawl with a patient. This will ultimately reflect poorly on you, your service and the hospital … and it may also inflame the situation!
When dealing with a Straight Up Problem, your response is critically necessary. Whether your response is personal or a public message depends on how widespread the problem is and how many people are discussing it. But regardless, if a serious problem exists, steps should be taken to fix it and patients should be notified that those steps are being taken and they are being listened to. Note :: there will be times when such tough criticism is the result of a "perceived problem" rather than an actual problem (e.g., someone who just doesn't like the method by which you do a certain procedure.) My advise is this type of complaint should also be given a formal response, even if only to say, "Thank you for bringing it to my attention, but here's why we do it that way."
Constructive Criticism may also requires a formal response. Implementing the suggestion provided will build patient loyalty and trust by responding to negative criticism with positive messaging. Dont forget to thank those patients who took the time to provide you with a suggestion.
Warranted Attacks are much tougher to tackle and solve as they are more likely to involve other groups in the hospital. Try to remember that this type of criticism, as harsh as it may be to read, has a base in a realworld problem. It is best to respond quickly and with a positive vibe (example response :: thank the commenter for their feedback and assure them that steps are being taken to correct the problem or mitigate their issue).
The last type of negative feedback, Wildcat, is the only category which does not require a response to rescue your hospital's reputation. To be honest, it is almost better not to respond to Wildcats! This type of commentary is not really "feedback" and is designed to bait you into an unnecessary and perhaps even reputation damaging brawl. Ignore this type of feedback and remove from your Facebook page.

DNS, FireFoam, adaptive mesh
Hi everybody,
I had a look at all the possibilities offered by OpenFoam and FireFoam, It seems very open and interresting. But I have never runned OpenFoam. I would like to know if you think that it is possible to :
-modify FireFoam to do DNS of laminar flames ( I am quite sure that this is possible removing turbulence-liked source terms and the turbulence model)
-Use the adaptive mesh modules to track the flame front of a growing laminar fire. I would like to implement a sensor of the flame front and refine the cells around it, and derefine the previously refined cells which are not concerned by the flame front any more.
Thank you very much.
Hi François,
I have a similar need regarding refining and coarsening meshes close to the fire front. So far I don't have an answer for you, but I'll keep you posted if I find out a way to do it. I would appreciate if you can do the same. Right now I'm working in joining fireFoam to chtMultiRegion, but I will move on shortly.
Hello Paul,
In the end, we didn't choose that option and we are using the original fireFoam. But I am interested in knowing what you did with that anyway.
Thanks for your post
Hello François.
As is, fireFoam doesn't fit my needs, as the solid is represented as a BC. So I'm using chtMultiRegion to represent the solid as a region and fireFoam as the fluid region. My goal is to represent a surface wildland fire.

Fifty Talk Radio Hosts, Members of Congress, and Law Enforcement Gather for Live Capitol Hill Immigration Broadcast May 8 and 9
May 07, 2012, 10:00 ET from Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
WASHINGTON, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Fifty talk radio hosts from around the nation will broadcast their programs from the Phoenix Park Hotel on Capitol Hill on May 8 and 9, discussing immigration policy with members of Congress, state legislators, law enforcement officials, and other policy experts. Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2012 is organized by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the nation's oldest and largest immigration reform organization. The event is designed to provide listeners in all 50 states the opportunity to participate in an important national policy debate about immigration in advance of this year's elections.
Hold Their Feet to the Fire has been held annually since 2006. Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2012 will focus on efforts by the Obama administration to carry out an unlegislated backdoor amnesty for millions of illegal aliens under the guise of "prosecutorial discretion," and Congress's failure to respond to the usurpation of its authority to make immigration policy.
Talk radio hosts will also examine the likelihood of new state measures intended to discourage illegal aliens from settling or remaining in those jurisdictions. The U.S. Supreme Court is widely expected to uphold key provisions of Arizona's immigration enforcement law, S.B. 1070, which would provide clear guidelines for other states.
Credentialed media are invited and encouraged to attend Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2012. Radio hosts, expert guests, and spokespeople for FAIR will be available for interviews to discuss all aspects of U.S. immigration policy.
WHEN: May 8 and 9 from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
WHERE: Phoenix Park Hotel 520 North Capitol St. NW (corner of Massachusetts Ave.)
WHO: 50 talk radio hosts, dozens of members of Congress, state legislators, law enforcement, activists and other policy experts.
SOURCE Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)

Welcome to The Rocking Sheep Company!
We've been making the wooly alternative to the rocking horse since 1992.
We're proud to have created a product of the highest quality and have found homes for our flock with families all over the World.

Made from natural materials, they're sturdy enough to withstand years of active play and beautiful enough to live with, keep and pass on to future generations.
Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow...
... and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go!
Our Guarantee
We want our rocking sheep creations to be 'ambassadors' of our work for many years to come. If after years of use the fleece fitted to our rocking toys becomes worn or damaged we will replace this on a nominal 'at cost' basis by post. If the woodwork/lacquer etc. suffers scrapes & knocks etc. we will freshen up the lacquer and repair any damage at any time, for life, yes, in other words...
A Lifetime Guarantee
Can we get fairer than that? All we ask is, if required, you arrange to deliver your rocking sheep back to our workshop and arrange collection when any work is complete. there will be NO charge for this service.

I'm still reading Dune, but I wanted to talk about something that's come up recently that has me thinking. It's about authors and their views and actions.
Is it appropriate to support an author of a book if that author holds views or has done things in their personal life that you don't morally agree with?
A good example would be Orson Scott Card, the author of the very popular sci-fi novel Ender's Game and it's sequels. Enders Game has been adapted into a movie that will be released later this year starring Harrison Ford and will ultimately make oodles of money.
The problem is that Card very vocally and publically opposes same-sex marriage and donates oodles of his own money (which he makes by writing books and having those books get turned into movies) to National Organization for Marriage. Card is a board member of that crazy organization.
So aren't we, by supporting Ender's Game, supporting Card, which in turn supports marriage inequality? That's not cool with me.
I have another example in mind, but since I don't know all the facts, I won't go into it. It involves violence against women. However, I'll just say that from what I do know of the situation, I won't be reading the person's book now.
I can't help but think that there are plenty of books I've read and their authors probably do lots of things I don't agree with. I can't help that, but when I DO know what they're doing and they do so publically, I can't support them. So I will be skipping Ender's Game this winter. I hope you will too.

Despite being the largest piece of the trade publishing pie,
there's a lot of good stuff to read out there that isn't Romance. And I try to get through as much of it
as possible*. Funnily enough,
though, much of the other fiction I read tends to have some sort of romance in
it somewhere. Sometimes it might
be between secondary characters.
Sometimes it's in the background.
Occasionally the relationship doesn't work out.
But it's there.
It makes sense, when you think about it. Relationships make the world go around. Whether personal or business, whether intimate or casual, making and refining connections to other people is one of the prime human activities. And in the hierarchy of those relationships, finding a romantic partner is pretty high. Naturally, that preoccupation sinks into our fiction, regardless of genre.
Take Fantasy, for instance. In my daily life, as managed of an SFF bookstore, I'm surrounded by it. And a great many Fantasy novels contain romantic relationships. I'm not talking about the rise of the new subcategory of Paranormal Romance (which Stephanie Meyer did not invent, though she did make it more financially viable): I'm talking about novels shelved in the Fantasy section that are more than a little concerned with romantic relationships. There are a lot of them. And many of the best were written by Sharon Shinn.
Shinn is an amazingly hard-working woman. A full-time journalist, she spends her days writing and editing for professional and trade magazines. Work on her fiction is relegated to the evenings and weekends. Since her debut in 1995, that intense schedule has produced twenty novels, a novella collection, and a number of short stories (George R.R. Martin, are you paying attention?) That debut novel was The Shape Changer's Wife, a slim and gorgeous fable that was nominated for the Campbell Award, won the Crawford Award, and heralded the arrival of a major talent in the Fantasy field.
What's the difference between a fantastic Romance and a romantic Fantasy? Possibly how deeply embedded the fantastic element is in the narrative. If you could remove the magic and essentially tell the same story, it's a Romance. Twilight, for instance, would be arguably the same story if Edward was simply a rich townie, and Jacob the local hot boy from the rez. Sure, there might be less fur and blood, but the particulars of the relationships between the characters would be unchanged. But Shinn's novels don't operate like that. The magical constraints of her worlds are absolutely essential, both to the story and to the relationships between her characters.
And such wonderful worlds they are. Some novels are set in a series – though 'linked set' is a better term, because each book tells a separate story – but many have been single story creations. Most are Fantasy novels, though at least three are Science Fiction. One of those, Heart of Gold, is an excellent place to start (though difficult to find these days). It's a story of culturally inculcated racism and sexism, bioengineering, terrorism, and attempted genocide. Sounds like fun, huh? When I first started the book, I was a little skeptical: such big problems can't be easily solved. But I needed have worried; only her prose was easy, and that because it was so beautiful, I gulped it down whole. But despite the complex nature of the conflict, Heart is also the story of the triumph of thought over fear, and the human desire to be more, to be better than one is or thought it possible to be. And at the same time, it's a remarkable love story because of, rather than despite, the differences between the characters.
In a semi-recent guest post on the Odd Shots blog, Sharon talked about Fantasy and Romance. She gave what I thought was an excellent description of the difference between the two genres: "I've heard it said of fantasy-romance books that if the last paragraph is about the magic, the book is predominantly a fantasy; if the last paragraph is about the lovers, it's a romance." Here, then, is the start of the last paragraph of Heart of Gold:
"Tonight," she said, and not another word. But even as she left the room, he was with her; walking the silent streets, she felt him beside her. She saw the city, heard her own footfalls, with his senses; and she knew that would be the way of it from this day forward, no way to disentangle, not need to, no desire.
*Except for Horror. Too scary. Horror's on it's own.
Chris Szego also recommends the novella 'Blood' in Shinn's Quatrain collection, which is set in the same world.

Rachel Pukall firstname.lastname@example.com
The life of an academic student is full of stress, pressures and the hassle of time management. Add graduate school to the equation, and some students become completely overwhelmed. Having only an undergraduate degree is becoming not enough to land the well-paying jobs of the future.
"There was always the expectation that I would go to college because I want to make sure I have a good and stable life. Once I was here, I started off as a different major, and now where I'm ending up I'm finding that as I get farther in my career, a master's is required," said Emily Zahasky, a student majoring in communication with an emphasis in interpersonal/ organizational communication and a minor in psychology.
Zahasky has applied at a few places but would like to get into Northwest Missouri State for grad school.
Nick Boehm, a senior majoring in communication with an emphasis in public relations, is going to Colorado State for grad school.
"I'm absolutely thrilled and very excited," Boehm said. "I think my biggest worry is my assistantship just because I've never done extensive teaching. I've done a little bit here and there, but I don't have a ton of background in teaching, so that's a little nerve-wracking, but I'm sure I'll get used to it."
Boehm decided on going to grad school about a year ago but didn't get really serious about it until about six months ago.
"I decided to go to grad school because I'm interested in health communication. For health communication, it's usually a good idea to have a graduate degree," Boehm said. "I'm interested in it primarily because I feel like it's a good way to help people and there's a lot going on in that industry right now."
Boehm is almost finished with the whole application process, which he found to be the most nerve-wracking part.
"I think the most stressful thing is the waiting game that you have to play. You have to ask teachers for recommendations, you have to take the GRE and wait for your score, and you have all this stuff you have to type up and send in, and then you have to wait for the admissions decision," Boehm said.
The GRE is short for the Graduate Record Examination, which students have to take in order to get accepted as a graduate student at a college or university.
Zahasky agrees that the waiting is the most stressful part.
"You work really hard, you study a lot for your GRE, and you try to make sure that you're yourself in the interviews, but the best face of yourself for them. You just hope that they like you and that you're qualified to be in there. It's just the stress of waiting because I did everything I can. There's not much I can do right now," Zahasky said.
Zahasky's biggest worry is that she won't get in. She's also slightly worried about being prepared for the extra work load of grad school and going to a different university.
"You have to make all new friends, learn all the professors, the advisors, who to go to when you need something—and it's just different in general," Zahasky said.
With the end of the semester fast approaching and grad school right around the corner, both Boehm and Zahasky seem excited to start this new chapter in their academic careers.

Mailchimp integration will be a new feature for version 12.0. MailChimp helps you design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results. It's like your own personal publishing platform.
The integration with PHP Point Of Sale will be customer, employee, and supplier list management. From each of these modules, you will be able to select a person and choose the lists to subscribe them to.
It is really simple to setup; you will simply enter a mailchimp api key from the store configuration page, and it is instantly available. If you already have people in PHP Point Of Sale that are in mailchimp, this will be automatically detected.
I hope this feature will be helpful to many small businesses. Please let me know your thoughts.

Mark Frost, who created TV's Twin Peaks with David Lynch, takes the plunge as a feature director with this overheated but high-style mystery about the commingling of sex and politics on the Louisiana bayou. Like Peaks, Storyville uncovers the dark past of an American family. The resemblance is heightened by evocative location photography by Ron Garcia, who made Washington State such a presence in the Peaks pilot. Otherwise, Frost goes his own less surreal way in this well-timed morality tale about election hypocrisy.
James Spader again dons his preppie-prince mantle, this time to play Cray Fowler, a pampered scion of an old political family who is being groomed for Congress. Since Cray's wife (Justine Arlin) fucks around, his former love (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer in a frenzy of eyelash batting) offers comfort. It's up to Cray's uncle, played by Jason Robards with the pungency of fine bourbon, to keep the family skeletons from rattling. Grandfather was involved in a land scandal, father was a suicide, and mother (Piper Laurie) is a lush. But a secret video of Cray's energetic one-nighter with an aikido instructor (a zowie Charlotte Lewis) hangs a Gennifer Flowers albatross on the candidate and leads to blackmail. Until Storyville degenerates into tawdry soap opera, Frost does some much-needed damage to the scourge of puritanical cant.

In the early 1990s, leaders in Alabama identified the need for more primary care physicians in the state, and in 2005, after years of coordinating activities to accomplish this goal, formed the Alabama Medical Education Consortium (AMEC), a 501(c) organization to help increase the production of these physicians across the state through the osteopathic medical education system. AMEC conducted a feasibility study which demonstrated that more than 60 percent of osteopathic medical students chose primary care careers as compared to 20 percent of allopathic medical students.
Over the next five years, AMEC built an extensive osteopathic teaching network in Alabama to provide third and fourth year training to medical students and created a Physician Pipeline to recruit Alabama students for enrollment in out-of-state osteopathic colleges. This required developing partnerships with 10 out-of-state colleges of osteopathic medicine, 26 state colleges and all state community colleges. In partnership with out-of-state Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, AMEC established an educational infrastructure that represents substantial clinical resources to provide clerkship rotations for Alabama students, as well as students from other states, enrolled in their programs. This educational infrastructure continues to expand and now includes over 400 Alabama physicians from communities throughout the state and 47 hospitals that include 15 core teaching sites and 42 educational sites.
After careful research and examination, AMEC and the Houston County Health Care Authority, the operator of Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC), determined that it would be feasible for the state to develop its own college of osteopathic medicine to address the shortage of primary care physicians in the state. Thus, the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM), a non-profit, private institution, was established in May 2010.
ACOM received its Private School licensure from the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education in December 2011, and provisional accreditation with the ability to recruit students from the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation on July 1, 2012. ACOM is building a free-standing facility in Dothan. Construction was completed in May 2013, and the college celebrated its historic grand opening on July 29, 2013. ACOM's inaugural class began classes on August 5, 2013, and will graduate in 2017.

Replacement: None. There is no direct replacement for this motor driver. This page is for reference only.
The jrk 21v3, from Pololu, is a versatile, general-purpose brushed DC motor controller that supports a four control interfaces: USB, TTL asynchronous serial, PWM and 0-5V analog voltage. The broad operating range (5V to 28V) and continuous output current (3A, 5A peak) allow this board to control most small DC brushed motors. Analog voltage and tachometer (frequency) feedback options allow quick implementation of closed-loop servo systems, and a free configuration utility (for Windows 7, Vista, or Windows XP) allows easy calibration and configuration through the USB port.
The jrk 21v3 is the smaller of two jrk motor controllers. For a higher-power version, see the jrk 12v12.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" just released its latest and final trailer for the potential summer blockbuster set to be released May 17. The latest "Star Trek" movie installment starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain gives fans maybe the most dramatic look at the new film. We also have some possible spoilers surrounding the new movie below.
In the video trailer, James T. Kirk is the focal point, shown going after Cumberbatch's character John Harrison despite warnings against the idea. It looks as though Kirk may be holding himself accountable for getting his shipmates in some trouble. Could Captain Kirk be in over his head in the latest "Star Trek" movie? It seems as though Kirk may end up letting his partners down.
Along with the movie's brand new trailer (watch below) new posters were released for "Star Trek Into Darkness." Some of the posters look pretty awesome and will probably get fans even more excited for the movie's release.
This poster shows Zoe Saldana's character Uhura ready to spring into action.
Check out this cool movie poster featuring Spock!
This movie poster features the main villain of the movie played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Finally, Chris Pine as Captain Kirk.
If you don't want to read about potential spoilers for "Star Trek Into Darkness" then you can stop reading now. There have been plenty of rumors surrounding Cumberbatch's evil character John Harrison and his ultimate role in the movie franchise. Most of the rumors following the new movie surround speculation that "Harrison" is actually well known "Star Trek" villain Khan.
In a possible spoiler from Shockya.com, a "trusted source" is telling the website that Cumberbatch's character John Harrison will reveal himself to be Khan in "Into Darkness." Via Trekmovie.com, during a scene where Harrison is held prisoner at the Enterprise, he reveals his identity as Khan Noonian Singh. You can believe these possible spoilers if you want, but it looks like we won't get actual confirmation until the movie comes out this summer.© 2018 Mstars News, All rights reserved.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Finova Financial, the industry's first cloud and mobile-based consumer lending platform transforming the title lending industry, announced today that its CEO, Gregory Keough, will be discussing "The Future of Non-Bank Consumer Finance" at the 3rd Annual Lend360 at the Chicago Marriott Magnificent Mile in Chicago Oct. 6 at 11:15 a.m.
"There are 26 million Americans who are 'credit invisible,'"
The only conference connecting the entire ecosystem of the online lending spectrum, Lend360 brings together thought leaders in finance and technology to lay the groundwork for the future of the industry.
"There are 26 million Americans who are 'credit invisible,'" notes Keough. "Traditional financial institutions fail to provide relevant services to these Americans, leaving them to the mercy of an alternative financial services market that has historically preyed upon them more than it has helped them. We hope to break that model and help consumers back to financial health and credit worthiness."
Committed to having a positive social impact by solving the problem of the traditional title loan 30-day debt trap, Finova created a totally new and different type of loan. Finova's Car Equity Line of Credit (C-LOC) saves consumers up to 70% off the cost of traditional auto title loans and helps consumers rebuild or establish good credit by offering instant online pre-qualification, more time to repay their loan, payment-against-principal with every payment, and reporting to major credit bureaus.

Tales of Xillia: The Four Spirits Are Strong With This One
Before I get into Tales of Xillia, I dare you, DARE YOU, not to say that headline in Yoda speak.
You know you want to.
Fine, back to business. This would be a full on review, but unfortunately for me about 50% of the way through my PS3 (a refurbished original style one) decided to die on me, and because I didn't have my files backed up on a flash drive, I lost all of my saved data.
Cue the Debbie Downer sound.
While, thankfully, I got a sleek and slimmer version of Sony's console swapped out for it, unfortunately there was nothing that could be done for my lost save, and while I truly enjoyed my time with the game, it might be a minute before I can play my way back there and beyond. That said, I had a great experience with Tales of Xillia, and I feel like talking about it.
While I wouldn't call Xillia a slow start, its not quite lightning fast either. Depending on which character you pick, either Milla or Jude, the game starts you in a different location, but ultimately the two end up together for most of the adventure. Still, I love the idea, and hopefully this will be expanded upon for Tales of Xillia II.
One of the hallmarks of any JRPG worth its salt is the... let's call it "uniqueness" of the squad you control, and Xillia delivers a well-rounded, if not spectacularly different, group of heroes. There are several stand outs, such as Milla, Leia, and Alvin, and Jude actually does grow on you over time, but Teepo is a poor replacement for Repede and should be banished to the island of misfit sidekicks. Even if the other characters fall neatly into their respective roles, what Namco Bandai does extremely well in almost every Tales game is make the banter and camaraderie between them all so entertaining, not to mention endearing, that you can't help but love them. Even someone like Teepo, who is just pixelated hate bait, goes from a papercut to just a hangnail. Annoying yes, but at least it's not bleeding.
The combat has always shined in Tales games, and it excels here too. The Artes system contains some slick abilities, and being able to link with a partner during combat, each with a different boost or ability, livens things up. For example, when Milla is linked with Jude he will heal you if knocked down. If she's linked with Alvin and an enemy is blocking he will charge up and knock the enemy out of its defensive stance, allowing you to knock him into the air. Each set of characters also has artes that can be comboed and linked, allowing for some devastating and graphically impressive effects.
While we're on the subject, this game is beautiful, as are the animated cutscenes that pop up throughout. The art is distinctly stylized, but I love that sort of thing. The game also allows you to customize your characters in some unique ways, including random things like dog tails and stuffed dragons. I admit I had alot of fun with this, and its nice to see that the game doesn't take itself too seriously.
As for the story, the game has a solid premise (up until the great PS3 crash of 2014 anyway, and no, I'm not being dramatic) to get things going, and there is one point in the game that I admit blindsided me, as it was something that I truly didn't expect. That event actually leads to some nice character moments, but other than that I can't say I was too surprised with how things progressed. What truly keeps your interest is the likable cast. You end up caring about what happens because you care what happens to them. You care that party member who will remain nameless recovers, you care about Jude and why he constantly takes abuse from his dad (who, spoiler alert, is a giant tool). You care about the fact that someone should tell Alvin it's 80 degrees outside so stop wearing the scarf! Okay, maybe not that one, but you get the point.
For those who haven't experienced the game, do yourself a favor and grab it as part of PlayStation's 14 for 14 sale, going on now. The game is $20 and just $10 for PS Plus members, so there really is no excuse. You'll love the combat, you'll laugh out loud a few times, and you'll be left with a fantastic gaming memory to start 2014.

Yes they do! After reading them over they will stay in your head, if need be keep reading them over and over again! And then after that its like you have this sort of emotional boost that stays with you & helps you out. I suggest you look up Louis Hay :)
I have found that one man's lie is another man's truth. Winners write the rules, ask any Native American. As for the elections, I really saw no choice, I knew one liar, thot I'd vote for the other and see if he could lie just a bit less. But it saddens me to see the country take a 3rd world path so happily, or maybe just blindly. Just glad I have "my" world and that I can stand the test for another 4 years, looks like vengeance is a great reason to vote. But the political landscape will be forever changed in the USA, I just hope the lines drawn do not become boundaries for new countries-I'd have to move and then,...., well I'd be back in Germany in a heartbeat-even poor there would be better than well off here if it all falls down. Bless the Beast. -S in SC
Yes they help.
Thats a yes.
short answer - yes.

Fergus Falls girls basketball team headed to state semifinals
MINNEAPOLIS – The Fergus Falls girls basketball team was not going to leave state with the same sour taste in its mouth from last season. Bailey Strand and the rest of the Otters were going to make sure of it.
Led by Strand's 23 points, five rebounds and five assists, second-seeded Fergus Falls reached the state semifinals with a convincing 61-52 victory over unseeded Kasson-Mantorville in the Minnesota Class 3A state quarterfinals Wednesday at Mariucci Arena.
"I definitely didn't want what happened last year to happen again, so it was a motivating factor," said Strand, who scored the Otters' first 11 points of the game.
Around this time last year, Fergus Falls was unexpectedly knocked out of the state tournament after a 79-78 double-overtime loss to Monticello. And as the Otters and KoMets battled back and forth for the first 18 minutes, those familiar feelings were coming back for Fergus Falls as it held a slim two-point lead at halftime, 31-29.
"It leaves such a sour taste in your mouth when you don't win your first game," said Otters head coach Brad Strand. "But you expect in a state tournament game for it to be a one-point game. You might be up. You might be down."
Making matters dire for Fergus Falls was the absence of senior post Anna Monke, who was charged with three fouls in just two minutes of play in the first half. With Monke riding the pine, Kasson-Mantorville's 6-foot-2 freshman post Kristin Scott capitalized with 10 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks before intermission.
"She's good. It was tough (guarding Scott) because she's big, and I don't usually guard the biggest girl on the other team," said Otters post Kristin Traiser. "We needed Anna."
KoMets head coach Ryan Haraldson added, "We knew they were big, but we have a kid who's a little bigger inside. We're pretty balanced … so we had to make sure we used everybody and were aggressive out there."
In the locker room, Coach Strand had a challenge for Monke.
"I told her, 'You have to play 18 minutes in this half,'" Brad said.
Using a zone defense to help keep Monke in the game, the Otters limited Scott to one field goal in the second half.
"We just have a really good zone," said Traiser, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds, "and it really helped protect Anna, so we needed to run that kind of defense."
With the KoMets' biggest threat neutralized, Fergus Falls took a 47-37 lead with 7:05 remaining on a putback by Bailey Strand. Kasson-Mantorville got no closer than seven points the rest of the way.
Brianna Rasmusson had 16 points, eight rebounds and three steals for the Otters, and Devonie Smith came up with eight points and five boards in the victory. Scott finished with 12 points and 17 rebounds for the KoMets (25-6), while Taylor Miller (13), Cori Kennedy (10) and Danika Hodgman (10) each finished in double figures.
After a premature end at state last year, Fergus Falls (29-1) will play for a spot in the Class 3A championship at 2 p.m. Thursday against third-seeded Marshall, which beat Chisago Lakes 68-44 on Wednesday.
"We were just so happy when we saw the clock hit zero, and we knew we got this one," Traiser said.
Half: FF 31, KM 29
KM (25-6): Miller 5 0-0 13, Wiebke 0 2-2 2, Kennedy 3 2-2 10, Hodgman 3 4-7 10, Scott 6 0-0 12, Pingel 0 1-2 1, Worden 2 0-2 4, Glawe 0 0-0 0, O'Brien 0 0-0 0. Totals 19 9-16 52.
FF (29-1): Smith 1 5-6 8, Traiser 4 3-6 11, Strand 9 3-3 21, Rasmusson 5 4-4 16, Monke 0 3-6 3, Reinertson 0 0-0 0, Sawtell 0 0-0 0, Seland 0 0-0 0, Johnson 0 0-0 0. Totals 19 18-25 61.

Morrison romance never had a chance
One of my colleagues confided that she had a thing about Jim Morrison when she was young.
This had come up in a conversation prompted by the passing of his Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek.
Alas, she never got together with the charismatic singer. She was left to ponder what might have been.
What kept them apart?
1. Geography. (My colleague grew up in the East, while California was Morrison's base of operations.)
2. Other people. (Morrison was involved with a variety of other women.)
3. Substance abuse. (Morrison had a drug problem.)
4. Age. (My colleague was significantly younger than the often shirtless singer.)
5. Timing. (Morrison died when my colleague was 3.)
6. Cruel fate. (Sometimes you can stare and stare at an album cover -- a certain Carly SImon record comes to mind -- and, no matter how hard you wish, your fantasies fail to come true. Darn it all.)
7. Justice. (My colleague would never say this, but she's too good for the Lizard King.)

Dear Friends,
As you may recall, in June of 2014 I agreed to stay on as Dean of Science on a more permanent basis, dropping the "interim" qualifier on my job title. You can thus look forward to hearing more from me in this capacity over the next several years.
In this issue of Science@MIT, Institute Professor and Nobel Laureate Phil Sharp tells us about the ways in which MIT scientists have shaped Kendall Square. The area looks entirely different now than it did when I arrived here in 1980. Back then, it was a decaying, unsafe industrial zone; now it has become a beautiful mecca for technology, largely due to its proximity to MIT. With the additional attraction of the affiliated Whitehead and Broad Institutes for biomedical and genomic research, Cambridge has become a world-wide center for biotechnology.
Companies started by MIT faculty have attracted other biotech firms to become a part of the vibrant community that has grown up nearby. We are proud of the extraordinary ways our faculty and alumni precipitated the growth of this incredible 21st century industry that will revolutionize the way we live and understand ourselves.
Additionally, Sharp looks ahead to make the case for the convergence of many scientific and engineering fields around the life sciences – a trend which he argues will be a necessary approach to future research and development if we are going to solve the major problems of our time. Although convergence is a national and international phenomenon, MIT has played an important leadership position in the movement. Our own Department of Biology soared to prominence through the convergence of physical sciences and biology in the middle of the last century.
I hope you will be inspired by EAPS graduate student Jimmy Gasore, who is in Rwanda building the first high-frequency climate observatory station in Africa. The ultimate goal of the station is to accurately measure greenhouse gases on the continent – a continent that covers a fifth of the world's land and which, until now, has been a glaring missing piece of the data we need to understand the climate change puzzle. This project, which will put Africa on the climate-change grid, has been a joint effort of the Rwandan government, MIT faculty and students, and individual alumni and donors who support our activities.
Speaking of support for science at MIT, we are most pleased to introduce the new Fundamental Science Investigator Award (FSIA), a bold approach to the problem of reduced federal funding for our scientists. Cindy and John Reed '61 (XV), S.M.'65 (XV) have generously provided the funds to establish the first of what we hope will be a number of very special awards to support research in the School of Science. Through the vantage point of the MIT Corporation, which John chaired from 2010 to 2014, and through his work on various committees throughout the Institute, he came to the conclusion that MIT needs to provide more support for basic scientific research. I completely agree, and am deeply appreciative of John and Cindy's philanthropic support for science. To all of our donors who support the School of Science, I thank you.
As always, I look forward to hearing from alumni and friends of the School of Science. You can reach me at email@example.com.

|Nectarines — one of those fruits that are only good in season (photo credit: Tori Luther)
Summer is almost over, but more about that tomorrow. Right now, before it ends, here is what I wish everyone in the northern hemisphere would do:
- Taste — Get your hands on a tomato. Any version grown in somebody's backyard is what you are after. Eat it any way you like, but TASTE it, really taste it. Savor. Love.
- Feel — The Husband says my range of temperature tolerance is about two degrees, 70-72 degrees, to be exact, and there is justice in what he says. But, today, revel in the delicious fact that you are warm ENOUGH when you are outdoors. The chill in the air this morning reminded me how soon that will change for many of us. It is wonderful to be able to go outside so EFFORTLESSLY — no coats, scarves, gloves, boots to tug on. I am going to appreciate that today as I work outside in the heat.
- See — Green, green, but with a tiredness that presages Autumn, hazy skies, storm clouds
- Listen — In our Tiny Town, this is the time when the cicadas' whirring is being replaced by the crickets' chirping. The birds still sing, but the insects have taken center sound-stage.
- Inhale — Mown grass, growing things, blooming things, LIVING things

1. Create textures and shades - add tights, or a fluffy sweater, or a jeans shirt, or a mix of all of those things! Leather in general wears great when paired with interesting textures.
2. Play up the prints - go for dots, florals, stripes... Whatever you have on hand! Generally smaller prints work better, but feel free to experiment.
I made a short video explaining the outfits:
Hope you will find it useful :). Cheers!
