Video: North Olmsted: 15-year-old killed in overnight hit-skip
NORTH OLMSTED -- A 15-year-old North Olmsted High School student was killed in an overnight hit-skip traffic incident in North Olmsted.
The accident was reported on Brookpark Road, between Great Northern Boulevard and Columbia Road, around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.
Bruce-Malik Wayne Adams II, 15, of North Olmsted, was found in the eastbound lanes of Brookpark Road. The driver and car involved were not at the scene when police arrived.
A family friend tells Beres that Malik was returning a cell phone to Walmart when he was struck and killed.
Family members say Malik was wearing a dark shirt and red shorts when he was struck. Some shoppers and merchants complained that this stretch of Brookpark needs better, brighter street lighting.
Police say there is little doubt that the driver was aware of what happened.
North Olmsted Police Capt. Mike Kilbane said, "From the impact, yes, the driver would be aware something was struck."
Police and Malik's family and friends are urging the driver to turn himself in.
Family friend Larry Burkhalter Jr said, "Reveal yourself. It's the Godly thing to do. Turn yourself in...we should not be burying our kids. Our kids should be burying us."
Crimestoppers has offered a reward for information regarding this incident.
Kilbane is asking anyone with information or any witnesses to call police or Crimestoppers at 216-252-7463.
Administrators at NOHS had guidance counselors available to talk with students.
Brookpark Road was closed for a time overnight.

Yeah, apart from Samit who was a joke, I thought England bowled adequately well that session. Most days, Swann/Anderson would have a wicket each or at the very least a wicket.

Rand Paul: GOP Can't Confuse Military Might For US Strength
Rand Paul: GOP Can't Confuse Military Might For US Strength
Disney Unboxes the Force to Drive Buzz for 'Star Wars' Toys
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul told conservative activists Friday that hawkish Republicans have mistakenly concluded that U.S. military intervention is a sign of American strength. Paul said at a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, "[Former President Reagan] believed in strength, but he also believed in peace. Our reluctance to conflict should not be misjudged as a failure of will." Paul has long been in contrast with many in his party for largely isolationist views on foreign policy.
When technology and geek culture enthusiast Chris Pirillo purchased his iPhone 6 last year, he rushed home to broadcast himself unboxing the item live on YouTube. The video has garnered nearly 50,000 views and is part of the growing craze of 'unboxing' that is a centerpiece of a live global Walt Disney event, starting on Wednesday evening in Australia, to unveil new toys from its December movie "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." The goal? To drive up excitement ahead of "Force Friday" on September 4.
Hillary Clinton has unveiled a $10bn plan to help contain substance abuse across America, as the nation grapples in particular with a growing opioid crisis that in some states cost more than 1,000 deaths last year. The Democratic presidential candidate on Wednesday laid out an approach to tackling both drug and alcohol addiction that shifts the emphasis away from incarceration and toward treatment, and would bolster preventative programming at the state and community level. Clinton's plan would notably invest $7.5bn in funding toward new federal-state partnerships over 10 years.
Jarrod Haschert 's dreams are coming true! The United States Marine Corps member gained some fame last week after his invitation to Ronda Rousey on Facebook went viral. Haschert asked Rousey to be his date to the Marine Corps Ball, which is in December, because she is his No. 1 "celebrity crush." Ever the considerate gentleman, Haschert understood that timing could be tricky because of Rousey's training ahead of her fight against Holly Holm. Luckily for Haschert, it was rescheduled to November, so she can make it! In a video posted on TMZ, Rousey says, "I actually can go but I don't know how to hit him up and say 'I want to go with you!' I would go for sure." Not only does she enthusiastically accept his invitation, she also implies that he's her type, telling the photographer, "He's cute!"
Ronda Rousey said she would take a night off from training, and now acting, to dance and party at a Marine Corps Birthday Ball. A marine posted a video on his Facebook page confessing that the MMA fighter is his "celebrity crush." He then said he would love to take her to his December ball. Rousey, the reigning UFC woman bantamweight champion, responded a few days later with a yes...but on a few conditions. She said he must be a gentlemen, and that he has to get dates for three of her friends as well.
The State Department released another tranche of emails from Hillary Clinton's private server late Monday. The release – which contained 7,000 pages of emails sent and received from 2009-2010, about topics ranging from Middle East policy to a controversial Rolling Stone cover story about American general Stanley McChrystal – is the latest monthly instalment of messages that Clinton turned over to the State Department from her private "homebrew" server. The emails didn't just touch on policy. Many branched into politics, including a rather strange memo from influential Clinton ally David Brock on how to impeach supreme court Justice Clarence Thomas. Brock, who currently leads several pro-Clinton Super Pacs, raised issues with Thomas's confirmation hearings in 1991.

Buccaneer volleyball defeats The Citadel 3-2
Sunday, November 10, 2002JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (November 10, 2002) - East Tennessee State head coach Deane Webb celebrated his 30th birthday with a 3-2 victory over The Citadel Sunday in Brooks Gym. With the win, ETSU improved its season record to 8-19 (6-12 SoCon), while the Bulldogs fall to 7-22 overall and 0-18 in league play. "Every time we are on the court we expect to win no matter who we are playing," Webb said following the match. "This was a game that we should've taken care of business a lot earlier, but we were just going through the motions - I was pleased we were able to focus and get the job done." The Buccaneers controlled much of game one with a 30-19 decision, but The Citadel evened the match with a 30-27 win in game two in comeback fashion. The Bulldogs started their rally in the second game after a kill by Samantha Parisi (Thessaloniki, Greece) tied the game at 24-24 and garnered their first lead of the match on a blocking error by the Buc's Rachel Shifflet (Axton, Va.). ETSU battled back to tie the game, 27-27, before The Citadel regained the advantage before escaping with a 30-27 victory. The Bulldogs came back after the break and dominated game three. They led by as much as 11 points before a kill by Lindsey Hodge (Summerville, S.C.) clinched the 30-23 win. In game four, the Bucs regained the momentum with a 30-19 victory, before managing a 15-7 win in the decisive game five with a team hitting percentage of .667. "We were a little flat at times, but I we picked up the play after the third game," said Webb. "Nicole Ryan (Etiwanda, Calif.) and Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) did an excellent job of increasing the intensity, although collectively we didn't always put forth our best effort." Ryan smashed a match-high 20 kills on 38 attempts and only four errors for a hitting percentage of .421, while Steidle had 13 kills and a hitting percentage of .360. Meghan Connolly (Solon, Ohio) and Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) finished the match with 12 kills each. Allen also led the team with three service aces and five block assists. Freshman setter Renee Vesey (Paw Paw, Mich.) tallied 49 assists. Connolly led the Bucs' defensive effort with 14 digs followed by Karen Freeburg's (New Castle, Ind.) 13 digs. Stefanie Farris (Wasilla, Alaska) led the Bulldogs with 17 kills, while Nicole Mantu (Corona, Calif.) and Audra Ritchie (Findlay, Ohio) had 13 and 10 kills, respectively. Setter Katie Livingston (Newberry, S.C.) dished out 46 assists. Farris and Mantu each led The Citadel with 11 digs and Amber Davis (Colorado Springs, Colo.) registered five block assists and one solo block. ETSU continues its current home stand with a match on Tuesday, Nov. 12 versus the Tennessee Volunteers. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in Brooks Gym.

When beautiful scenery inspires the artist within, capture every exquisite detail with the compact Cyber-shot RX100 II. You'll enjoy extraordinary light sensitivity, breathtaking image quality and beautiful background defocusing thanks to a newly developed 1.0-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor and f/1.8 lens.
Extremely high sensitivity and remarkably low noise are achieved by Sony's massive new 20.2-megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS sensor. Its back illumination technology collects light more efficiently and combines with image processing advances to bring noise to unbelievably low levels–equivalent to noise one stop lower sensitivity in the renowned RX100 II.
Legendary Carl Zeiss® optics and unrivaled Sony imaging technology merge in a compact, high-performance lens that offers supremely accurate performance, powerful 3.6x (28-100mm at 35mm equivalent) optical zoom capabilities and an enormous f/1.8 aperture with almost perfectly round seven-blade diaphragm for beautiful background defocusing.
Touch your Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera to create a connection. No setup is required beyond downloading the free PlayMemories Mobile app to your device. Made possible by NFC™ technology, once connected, you can remotely control the camera's shutter release from your mobile device and instantly receive the captured image via Wi-Fi®.
Sony's BIONZ™ imaging engine employs powerful algorithms to transform data captured by the CMOS sensor into beautiful images with accurate color, rich tonal gradations and minimal noise. It brings out the beauty of images captured at high ISO settings–up to ISO 12800, which surpasses the RX100–and handles the most demanding tasks with precision.
A Multi Interface Shoe lets you attach wide-ranging accessories for photo and movie shooting. These include an electronic viewfinder, powerful external flash unit and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi Terminal.
The 3.0-inch, 1,229k-dot Xtra Fine monitor displays scenes extra clearly, even in bright sunlight. It can be tilted up to 45° downward to shoot over crowds or up to 84° upward to capture pets eye to eye. You'll enjoy clear, faithful reproduction thanks to WhiteMagic™ wizardry, which combines white and RGB pixels to boost brightness and visibility.
Simply rotate the control ring around the lens to adjust camera settings with ease. It turns smoothly and steplessly with clear feedback on the LCD to provide precise, intuitive adjustment usually reserved for SLR cameras.
Your favorite functions are only a press away thanks to the easily customizable Function button. Just press to access, then adjust parameters with the control ring. You can assign up to 7 functions from a list of 17 possibilities.
Whenever you find a perfect combination of camera settings for a certain type of shooting situation, you can save it in memory by using the Memory Recall mode. Should a similar situation arise, you can immediately activate the saved combination via dial. This mode can memorize up to three groups of settings (including exposure modes, shutter speed, Drive mode, ISO, White Balance, Metering modes and more).
Now it's easy to achieve exactly the look you desire. Just rotate the rear control dial to intuitively fine-tune properties of your image in real-time on the screen. This Photo Creativity interface lets you adjust Background Defocus, Color, Brightness and Vividness as well as overlay these multiple effects.
Bring out the character of your scene by selecting the Standard, Vivid, Portrait, Landscape, Sunset or B/W mode. You can also fine-tune contrast, sharpness and saturation (where applicable) to suit your personal preference.
Picture Effect transforms your photos and videos into unique works of art from within the camera. Fulfill your creative vision with 13 modes, including Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color and High- contrast Monochrome. Real-time preview is available for most effects.
Take full advantage of the bright lens and sensitive sensor to create movies of breathtaking quality with extremely low noise, even in dark environments. Movies are recorded at Full HD resolution at 60p for supremely smooth playback or 24p for a more expressive cinematic look. You can also enjoy the unlimited manual creative freedom of P/A/S/M modes.
Save an expertly trimmed, beautifully balanced composition in addition to your original image, whether you're shooting a single- or two-person portrait, snapping a close-up, or capturing a moving subject with tracking focus.
You can always capture the ideal moment and facial expression, even when recording sporting events and other fast-moving action, by shooting continuously at approx. 10 frames per second (speed varies depending on shooting conditions.)
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake blur during handheld still image shooting. When shooting movies, Optical SteadyShot (Active Mode) enhances stabilization and compensates for rolling camera shake.
The MF Assist function enlarges the image approx. 8.6x or 17.1x to allow super-fine tuning of the focus. The Peaking function highlights the sharpest in-focus areas of your image –even when not using MF Assist–to clearly show what is focused.
Auto HDR expands the dynamic range of images from darkest shadows to brightest highlights. Dynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) similarly adds details to the highlights and shadows, and can be used when photographing moving subjects.
Shooting flexibility even extends to aspect ratios. Depending on your scene and artistic vision, you can capture still images in your choice of 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 or 1:1 aspect ratios.
Grid lines on the LCD support more accurate horizontal and vertical alignment of the camera with walls, streets and other elements in your scene. Select from three: Rule of 3rds Grid Line, Square Grid Line, and Diagonal + Square Grid Line. For extra assistance, use the Dual-axis Digital Level Gauge to check for camera roll and pitch.
Step Zoom lets you swiftly select any of 5 commonly used focal lengths (28, 35, 50, 70 or 100mm) by simply turning the control ring.
Shoot breathtaking panorama photos with ease via Sweep Panorama. Simply sweep the camera either vertically or horizontally to create sprawling cityscapes or majestic landscapes.
PlayMemories Online uses the cloud to put all of your photos and videos at your fingertips, no matter where your life may take you. As long as you have an internet connection, you'll never be too far from the moments that mattered. Your TV, smartphone, PC, tablet, or other entertainment device becomes a mobile media center, and PlayMemories automatically balances quality with resolution to maximize playback regardless of the size of the display.
The RX100 II supports Sony's TRILUMINOS color, allowing you to view photos and movies in rich, natural colors on any TV equipped with a TRILUMINOS display. The expanded color spectrum lets you immerse yourself once again in those unforgettably colorful moments, from the azure shades of a shimmering blue sky to the rosy flush of a baby's smile.

DURHAM, N.C. – Graduate student Cherry Seaborn fired a goal in double overtime to lift the seventh-ranked Duke field hockey squad to a 2-1 victory over visiting California Friday evening at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium. The Blue Devils (9-2, 1-0 ACC) came from behind to tally their fourth consecutive win while improving to 3-0 on the season in overtime contests.
"Cal's defense played great, goalkeeper played great, and really challenged us," said head coach Pam Bustin. "We weren't as sharp as we could have been. However, going into overtime, I was really proud of the team's mentality. They play smart and they play with the certain will to win."
The two teams battled through a scoreless first period with Duke placing five shots on goal. The Blue Devils were unable to convert in the opening frame despite some good looks at the cage, including an extended run down the field and feed by Seaborn with five minutes to go.
"I think momentum is on our side right now, coming off of two Friday night games that have gone into double overtime," Ross said. "It's really important for us to stay focused and not let fatigue set in, and just keep our mind on the mission."

Organized for the HolidaysTuesday, December 6th, 2011
Are you feeling the frenzy that tends to creep up around this time of year? I think we all start out with the desire to stay on top of it all, but sometimes we get derailed with all of those requests for our attention. One of the quickest ways stress creeps in is the lack of organization that comes from not having an actual plan in place for everything from wrapping the gifts to entertaining a small crowd.
I asked my friend Jen, the the super momma blogger behind I Heart Organizing to offer up some advice for those of us who get that anxious feeling during these busy times ~ Jen has so many great ideas for everyday storage solutions around the home, I thought she'd be the perfect guest to offer some encouraging suggestions for staying organized through the holidays and beyond.
Please welcome Jen and her advice for staying organized during this season!
"Hi everyone! Jen from IHeart Organizing here today to share a couple of my favorite holiday organizing tips and tricks! Let's face it, the holidays can be an extremely chaotic and busy time! From activities to decorating to entertaining, it seems as though there is always something going on. I am a big believer that with a little organization; you can make it through all of the craziness with a smile on your face.
Have your gotten your first holiday card in the mail yet? They are sure to start coming in daily, so now is the time to start thinking up fun ways to keep them on display to enjoy them throughout the entire course of the season.
A few festive ideas are to clip the cards to decorative ribbon, pin them to a pretty memo board, string them from twinkling strands of lights or create a Christmas tree collage right on your favorite focal wall. When the holidays wind down, whether you choose to hold onto the cards or recycle them is always a personal choice, however, a great way to preserve all of those family photos you received is to create a dedicated holiday album that can be added to year after year.

Portfolio Problems
For some odd reason, I can't get one of the images in my portfolio to display properly. All of the images display at full size, except for the page from "The Mystery of the Manse" that I inked. That one page is displaying at about 200%. I may have to rebuild the whole gallery, which is a pain, but I do want my work to present well.
I should just delete the image, seeing as how I only inked it, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. Mike Moss, the artist who drew the page did such a great job–to date, I still believe that this is some of his best work–but, maybe the sizing issue is a sign.
Update: The media uploader changed my file names. I used double-dashed in my file names and the software changed them to a single dash. For the Haunted Mansion page, I manually updated the file by copying it into the directory on my server and I didn't rename it to match the given names of the other files.

Speaking at the event Mr. Atul Singh said, "At Coca-Cola India, it has been our endeavor to promote grassroots level sports by associating with tournaments at the school level. It is a proud moment for us that our very own talent from the Coca-Cola Mir Iqbal Hussain Under-16 tournament - Uttam Rai –will now be training at the Colorado Rush Soccer Development Academy. This recognition for talent at the grassroots level is very encouraging as India prepares to take the leap to the next level with the sport. We hope that there will be more recognition and many more opportunities from international clubs and associations for the talent in this country. We are certain that with his immense talent and potential and passion for the game, Uttam will earn recognition on the international stage."
Hailed as the next Baichung Bhutia of Indian football, 16-year old Uttam Rai has a list of accomplishments to his name. Uttam was first spotted as a young 13 year-old at the Coca-Cola sponsored 32nd Mir Iqbal Hussain Trophy (MIHT) in the year2009 which was a significant stepping stone in his career. CC MIHT enabled Uttam to cement his position in the U-14 national team. Arguably the best youth prospect of India, he has set a dazzling record with his prodigious footballing skills and has been as regular with the national squad ever since he was selected for the India U-14 team in 2010.
Mr. Tim Schulz, President &CEO, Rush Soccer, said, "We are looking forward to Uttam Rai's visit to the United States. India is an emerging country in the world of football and we are honored to be a part of her growth. The partnership with Libero Sports and Rush has been in place for some time but to hear that Coca-Cola will be involved is huge. Coca-Cola is a big player and they can get things done."
While Uttam's stint at the Academy lasting 6 months would be extremely technical in nature, a broad overview of his trip would include:
- Integration of Uttam in the Rush Academy set-up and acclimatization
- Familiarize him with the culture and customs at the Academy, its players and technical staff
- Expose him to professional scouts with the possibility of playing professional football
According to Sukhvinder Singh, Managing Director, Libero Sports, "It is heartening to see Coca-Cola India continuing its support to young footballers from across the country. We are also pleased for Uttam who will now be able to train with international coaches and many other talented footballers at the Academy. This is a great example of the results that could be achieved by sustained and synchronized efforts of key stakeholders working towards a common objective."
The Coca-Cola Mir Iqbal Hussain Trophy has acted as a robust platform for young football talent of the country to come forth and showcase their best. With participation from over 2500 schools, across 75 cities in 27 states, the tournament has proved to be a raging success with youngsters across the country.

The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
On July 27, 2011, renowned evangelical John Stott passed away at the age of 90. His work was an influential voice in conservative evangelicalism. In honor of Stott's work in promoting "balanced and thinking biblical faith", we feature an audio excerpt from Stott's address "Genesis 1: Called to Full Humanity".
Throughout the last 150 years or so, the interpretation of the creation account in Genesis 1 has been a point of contention within the Christian as well as the scientific community.
Dr. Timothy Keller beautifully unravels the first three verses of Genesis 1 in his sermon titled, "Before the Beginning." From these first verses, three fundamental truths are established.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In this paper, theologian John Wesley Wright reviews Connor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea, a work that deeply explores the integration of Darwinian evolutionary theory and Christian faith.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
The literary conventions employed in Genesis chapter 1 mark it out, not as a scientific document describing material origins, but as a theological polemic against surrounding ancient Near Eastern pagan religions. Creation language here and elsewhere in Scripture is not about establishing scientific origins of material substance and structure but about covenantal establishment and worldview.
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
Falk's paper asks evangelical Christians to explore whether they are propping up a bubble that they, not God, have created, thereby isolating themselves from the world of academics. The essay describes five layers that may play a role in unnecessarily blocking entry, or reentry, of agnostic scientists into the realm of evangelicalism.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.

KHTS AM-1220 is more than just a radio station. We are immersed in our community, Santa Clarita.
Our station has created numerous ideas that have become annual events. Our trip to Sacramento is one of those events.
The idea started with a conversation between then State Assemblyman Keith Richman and station owner, Carl Goldman at a charity event in 2005. Assemblyman Richman felt most of our community leaders didn't have an understanding of the challenges our state legislative officials faced in Sacramento.
The two thought it would be a great idea to invite a number of community leaders to visit Sacramento and learn about these challenges. Thus, the Sacramento Road Trip was created.
With the assistance of Valencia Acura owners, Don & Cheri Fleming, along with Carl's wife and co-station owner, Jeri Seratti-Goldman, the Sacramento Road trip became a reality.
In March 2006 a group of 35 community leaders road up to Sacramento on a bus. The journey became the first annual road trip. KHTS AM-1220 broadcast interviews throughout the ride.
The group spent two days meeting with politicians, administrators and other State leaders. For all, it was an enlightening event and word quickly spread throughout the Santa Clarita Valley about the success of the event.
The group decided to add lobbying to their efforts in 2007, based on the successful efforts put together by the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce with their annual Washington DC lobbying journey. Cameron Smyth had replaced Keith Richman as Santa Clarita's local Assemblyman.
He became instrumental in joining KHTS radio and Valencia Acura as sponsors for the Sacramento trip, and in arranging for meetings with key State Officials.
On May 14, 2007 sixty-five community leaders joined the 2nd Annual Road Trip. The group focused on local education and transportation issues, including important items for Santa Clarita elementary schools, junior high and high schools and College of the Canyons.
The group also addressed one of the leading transportation issues impacting our Valley, expansion of carpool and truck lanes on Interstate 5.
Our 2008 trip added Water as a critical issue, along with education and transportation.
This year's trip is our 10th Annual KHTS Sacramento Road Trip on March 16th and 17th, 2015. We now take 110 community leaders. Our issues include education, water, high-speed rail, worker's compensation, business retention and health care.

Fairfax County Police say Tysons Corner, with its densely compacted malls, office buildings, hotels and surrounding retail establishments, already creates unique law enforcement challenges. With four new Tysons Corner Metro stations slated to open in December, police are now looking at how they will cope with expected increases in crime.
According to a presentation made to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors earlier this month by police Captain Daniel Janickey, commander of the McLean District Station, the Tysons Corner area only houses 19,000 residents but boasts a daytime population of 250,000 people who daily inhabit its 33 million square feet of office space and nearly 4,000 hotel rooms. The two Tysons Corner malls receive in excess of 23 million annual visitors.
Gerald Gordon, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, recently said that Tysons Corner is rapidly overshadowing the District of Columbia and becoming the new epicenter of the Metropolitan Washington, D.C., region.
"Tysons Corner is the new downtown," he said last week at a panel discussion hosted by the Tysons Corner Regional Chamber of Commerce. Tysons Corner was issued its own postal zip code in 2011.
With the advent of Metro adding to this already congested area, Janickey told supervisors that based on anecdotal research conducted with mall property managers, hotel, restaurant and transportation leaders and the Metro Transit police, he expects an increase in area assaults, robberies, thefts, destruction of property and stolen vehicles once Metro opens.
"When you have an increase in population you will also have an increase in crime," said Fairfax County Deputy Chief of Police Ed Roessler, who accompanied Janickey at the presentation.
Janickey told supervisors that significant amounts of crime at Tysons is already committed by offenders living outside Northern Virginia, including organized crime rings from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, as well as D.C. residents who, after being arrested, admitted to coming to the area by train to commit crimes.
Janickey added that the advent of the new Metro stations to the area will necessitate seven-day police coverage of the area. Roessler and Janickey estimate that the McLean District Station, currently staffed by 132 officers and 28 staff members, would need about 33 new positions, including 24 officers and another parking enforcement officer, preferably by the first part of 2014, to effectively accomplish this.
According to Roessler, in addition to a short-term need of additional officers, the long-term impacts of Tysons' expected population increases over the next 40 years also will redefine how police will approach the area's urbanization.
"Tysons Corner will ultimately need its own police station," he said. "In addition, one-officer patrols will have to evolve into two-officer patrols, and we will have to begin initiating training in 'vertical policing,' which means officers will learn to effectively respond to increased calls on high floors of office and apartment buildings, as those in large cities do. We need to evolve with the urbanization of the Tysons Corner area, and maintain rapid response times within that atmosphere. "
Toward that end, the Fairfax County Department of Public Works is already exploring the possibility of Tysons Corner being the target for the county's first "fully urban" police station, which would be designed to be potentially housed in a mixed-use commercial/residential/retail environment, but still be able to allow police the resources they will need.
"We are strictly in an exploratory phase at this point, but we are looking at it," said county spokesman Brian Worthy. "Public Works is working with architects and police station design consultants who have done this in other cities."
According to Roessler, the future urbanization of Tysons Corner will usher in a whole new era of policing.
"Essentially we will go from having one-officer vehicle patrols to having more officers on bicycles, Segways and increased foot patrols," he said. "A new urban station will also allow visitors to walk in when they need us, and allow officers to walk out the front door and start patrolling when they need to."

Posted in Dr. Ying Competition
Emily Sotherland took home the grand prize from the Dr. Ying Science Competition in 2007. At the time, she was a junior at Merit Island's Edgewood Jr./Sr. High School when she became the Ninth Annual winner of this competition at the Orlando Science Center.
Emily's project was entitled "Modeling Artificial Surf Reefs and Their Ability to Create Surf Waves While Inhibiting Beach Erosion." Through her research, Emily was able to show that a V-shaped artificial surf reef could inhibit beach erosion and create better waves for surfing. She won the $5,000 grand prize plus $1,000 prizes for her teacher and her school.
This was only one of the remarkable research entries recognized at a previous year's competition. This year is sure to bring out more amazing talent from the Central Florida community. The Dr. Nelson Ying Student Science Competition will mark its 12th year in collaboration with the Orlando Science Center on April 23, 2010.

Behold the junior senator and tea-party hero from Kentucky, best known for citing the U.S. Constitution, Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, and Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
On Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul threw his support behind legalizing the millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S., signaling his determination to expand his following beyond the tea party movement as he positions himself for a 2016 presidential campaign. Just two years ago, Paul was pushing to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
Paul's first major speech on the topic came the same day the Iowa Republican Party announced he would headline their annual fundraiser—a coveted stage for auditioning presidential candidates—and one day after a Republican National Committee report embraced immigration reform as a way to boost the party's appeal with Hispanic voters. Paul's speech to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Washington was striking not for its policy details—in fact, they were quite fuzzy—but for the obvious charm offensive it represented toward the fastest growing part of the electorate.
"I think his goal is to appeal to a broader audience," said Sal Russo, a chief adviser to the Tea Party Express and a longtime Republican strategist. "Immigration is not a defining tea-party issue like spending and debt, and there is a wide spectrum of viewpoints on it. I think it's a political winner."
Paul is not fluent in Spanish but he slipped into the language several times during his speech, drawing applause from the Hispanic audience for his above-average pronunciation. The senator from Bowling Green, Ky., also reminded the audience that he grew up alongside many Hispanics in Texas.
"Immigration reform will not occur until conservative Republicans like myself become part of the solution," he said. "That is why I'm here today, to begin that conversation."
Though Paul disagrees with some key provisions of the immigration-reform plan backed by a bipartisan group in the Senate, the partial endorsement from a tea-party conservative was enthusiastically praised by some of those senators as well as immigration advocates.
"He killed it," Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Reform, said of the speech. "The more people like Senator Paul are engaged in the debate, the more the conversation moves forward. He has credibility with tea-party conservatives like no one else."
Paul's speech was also noteworthy for its departure from his libertarian father's legacy. Former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas took a hard-line stance against illegal immigration, demanding tighter border security; banning illegal immigrants from public schools, hospitals, and social services; and calling for an end to birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants. Last month, he called the bipartisan plan in the Senate a "bad deal." So by veering from that script, the younger Paul signaled his hope to be taken more seriously than his father, a twice-failed presidential candidate who was frequently marginalized as a fringe ideologue. (The younger Paul said Tuesday after the speech that he would rethink his opposition to birthright citizenship if immigration laws were overhauled.)
Paul's stock has been rising in recent days. He captured national attention and his colleague's praise with a 13-hour talking filibuster and won the straw poll at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference. But his lack of experience on the national stage was apparent Tuesday as his speech created widespread confusion over whether or not he backed allowing illegal immigrants to earn citizenship.
Though Paul did not use the words "pathway to citizenship" he didn't rule it out in his speech, either. He backed allowing undocumented workers to live and work in the U.S. permanently without requiring them to return to their home country, but he said, "We also must treat those who are here with understanding and compassion without also unduly rewarding them for coming illegally.... My plan will not grant amnesty or move anyone to the front of the line." Media outlets from the Associated Press to The Huffington Post initially reported that Paul did back a pathway to citizenship. Even Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Senate immigration subcommittee, was under that impression. "The consensus continues to grow in favor of immigration reform that contains a path to citizenship," he said in a written statement.
Paul's office objected to the early reports and arranged an afternoon conference call. Unfortunately, Paul didn't completely clarify his position during the call, complaining that the debate was trapped in murky and polarizing phrases and words like "pathway to citizenship" and "amnesty."

The Czech Republic has much to offer tourists. Culture lovers will be attracted by the Baroque towns and mediaeval castles. Nature lovers will enjoy the thousands of kilometres of paths, mountainous regions and national parks. However, the main attraction is, of course, still Prague.
Prague is beautifully situated on the Vltava River and is the main cultural and historical attraction of the Czech Republic.

UOP, Petronas to Collaborate on Natural Gas Processing Technology
8:42 AM MDT | September 26, 2012 | Deepti Ramesh
UOP, a Honeywell subsidiary, says that it will collaborate with Petronas, on natural gas processing technology. The joint development program is focused on technology to overcome challenges faced by producers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), as the pair will seek to monetize natural gas more economically by moving gas processing from onshore facilities to ships that will moor closer to offshore gas fields, UOP says. The program will center on advanced carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption technology to improve the reliability of equipment used to remove contaminants...

Hello Millerwelders! I am a student at Sacramento State University writing a research paper on Occupational Noise. Honestly, I appreciate your answers very much as welders. So by now you're probably already wondering...well what is my paper all about? very simple, I am trying to know if regardless of whether you are bothered by noise at your work, it may still affect your physical health in some manner. I'm sure a lot of you have personal experiences as welders so please share.
I have five short questions and I am just looking for as much replies as I can get. These are my short questions:
1) How long have you been working as a welder?
2) Do you find yourself shouting to be heard while welding because of the noise?
3) As a welder, does occupational noise bother you?
4) Since you've started welding, have you experienced any symptoms of hearing loss, like ringing in the ear, pain or been diagnosed with any sort of heart disease by your physician?
5) At work, do you use any form of hearing protection when working to control noise?
Thank you for your responses

Survey for welders
Ok, I just have to do this because it won't leave my mind unless I do it.
1) 15 years - Since Vo-tech school
2) Yes - When I worked for companies before becoming self-employed, I would have to shout to make myself heard because no one would listen.
3) Yes - I should not have to deal with being yelled/screamed/cussed at because I did what I was told and the foreman screwed up, even after (#2) I shouted at him stating this would happen
4) Sometimes my voice box goes out from screaming at dumbasses that never should have been hired to begin with.
5) I quit, now that I'm self employed it is a much quieter and less stressful.
And yes, these are legitimate answers.

Same answer I gave your question over on the Hobart forum;
"So, you have a grand total of two posts. You want information from welders for a research paper, but other than using this forum to do legwork for you you haven't voiced even a faint promise of providing any useful information in return. I guess college course study has devolved sufficiently since I was a starry eyed kid that now hearsay is good enough to be considered research. Is this for a Human Resources degree or pre-law? Nearing the end of my career in the trades, I've seen studies such as yours many times and never to the benefit of the worker. Management and their lawyers seem to care far more on how to place the blame for worker injuries squarely on the workers shoulders and divest themselves of any and all responsibility. Your research paper would make a fine addition to their depositions. Good luck in your pursuits, but I want no part of it."Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

1) 23 years
2) I always yell for effect.
3) Yes, especially the noise from non-welders.
4) Yes, 60% loss of hearing in the 400 hertz range.
5) Yes, I try to strike an arc as fast as possible and ear plugs...

In that spirit, I will give:
1) Too many years to count
2) I don't have conversations while I'm welding. If I need to speak to someone I will stop welding, lift my hood and look at the person.
3) It used to. I wear earplugs now.
4) Hearing no. I caught that young enough to avoid any permanent damage. Heart disease ... does high blood pressure count? Your question gives me cause to be curious as I have never associated heart disease with welding before. Perhaps you are thinking about electromagnetic fields. I will search that a bit.
(See WyoRoy? He/she already gave something.)
5) Yes, earplugs. Sometimes I use double hearing protection (muffs over plugs) in really loud situations like if there is a Vac-Truck or other noisy equipment operating nearby.

[QUOTE=WyoRoy;295946]Same answer I gave your question over on the Hobart forum;
I'm an Occupational Health and Safety Major and its for a community health class.
If Management is investigating accident or injuries and placing blame on workers, regardless of who is at fault, if you are injured on the job, you should get compensated. If the worker was negligent to not follow safety rules, company may discipline him but still he/she has to get compensated. Maybe you've seen many times company lawyers getting away with this and you are pissed off but there is nothing I can do other than to tell you that you can also always file a complaint with OSHA and they may send their staffs to your work place unexpectedly to inspect your working conditions. You also have a right to copies of injury/accident logs or reports from your employer and if you have not been requesting them, please do so. When they are investigating next time, if you have a union, have union representative present and that way blames don't get easily shifted easily when you have no copy of what their lawyers etc found out. May that was helpful, I don't know.
Matrix, in response to your post, a study of 6304 workers between 1999 and 2004 revealed that people who work in very noisy environments have higher risk factors for CHD and other cardiovascular problems.

I'm also fairly conversant as to the meanderings of the typical Occupational Health and Safety man. When I began work on the job 34 years ago the rule book fit in your back pocket and was less than a 1/2" thick. After 34 years of progressively promoting safety the industry safety and health staff now have us carrying a 3" thick, 15 lb. safety encyclopedia. the industry didn't get any more complex, just the need for the health and safety staff to keep their jobs. I can't blame them since the type of individual that now fills that position has no other recourse than to seek out and terminate employees for infractions in order to appear useful to upper management. Gone are the days when a safety and health member actually knew how to mitigate safety problems from real life experience.Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

2) You have to shout if you talk while welding the hood muffels your voice. And its noisy in the shop so for someone to hear you you got to shout.
3)Not really
4)Some hearing loss,ringing in the ears, no ear pain,no heart disease.
5)No. Why? Old school pipe welders get tuned into the sound as well as reading the weld puddle.
Hope this helps, but i would ask a few more questions, shop work or construction? Age of the welder and family history of hearing loss.WELDCKR

There are many variations on the theme of a peanut butter pie. Some are so dense and sweet that they are Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ported into a pie crust, mixing cream cheese with peanut butter to create a cheesecake-like density. Others whip the PB into a mousse-like filling. Some use smooth PB, some use crunchy, some make their own. Purists maintain that a peanut butter pie should be strongly flavored of peanut butter and nothing else, with a light consistency (think peanut butter pastry cream). Most everyone will agree that the crust should be chocolate! Some use cookie crumbs, some make a chocolate tart dough. Variations include lining the base with ganache and toasted peanuts.
A very rich pie made with a plain pastry and pecans bound in a rich filling of eggs, brown or white sugar, corn syrup and vanilla. Sometimes Bourbon is added. It is traditionally garnished with whipped cream. Chocolate pecan pie uses chocolate wafer crumbs for the crust, and optional chocolate morsels in the filling. Pecan pie is a 20th century invention; no recipes have been found dated earlier than 1925; earlier references to pecan pie, dating back to the 1800s, used a milk-based custard. According to FoodTimeline.com, The Fannie Farmer Cookbook and The Joy of Cooking did not include recipes before 1940. The Karo Syrup website claims that the pie was invented by the wife of a Karo corporate sales executive in the 1930s. Try these recipes for sweet potato pecan pie with Jack Daniel's (instead of Bourbon) and Bourbon pecan pumpkin pie.

PHYLLO or FILO DOUGH or PHYLLO PASTRY
Phyllo (FEE-low) is the traditional dough of the Greek and Middle Eastern cuisines, for sweet and savory pastries including the famous baklava (with honey and nuts) and spanakopita (spinach and feta). Phyllo means "leaf" in Greek, and refers to the many tissue-thin leaves (so thin you can read through them), or sheets, of pastry dough that comprise the dough. Traditionally, the dough was made by hand by gently rolling, stretching or pressing it into the ultra-thin sheets. Now it is made by machine and available ready made. In preparation for baking, the dough is brushed with butter or oil; it must be worked with quickly as it dries with exposure to air. It can be cut into sheets and layered in a tin, cut into individual rolls or rolled up as one large roll. See also puff pastry and strudel.

A pie is a pastry with a sweet or savory filling (cream, custard, fruit, meat, pudding, meat, vegetable). Sweet pies are generally served as dessert and savory pies as the main course or appetizer. Pies can have bottom crusts only, top and bottom crusts or, as with deep dish pies, only a top crust. The crusts are sloped, not straight. Crusts are crisp and flaky, and made from a variety of recipes, depending on the desired effect.* Pies are served straight from the dish in which they were baked; as opposed to tarts, which are removed from the baking tin. See pastry and the difference between pies and tarts.
*A pie crust is traditionally made of flour, salt, cold water and a shortening: butter, lard, vegetable shortening or other fat. Some recipes use a combination. The goal is a crisp, flaky crust.
The most basic pie crust is made with flour and water; fat can be added to make a finer pastry crust. Medieval cooking texts refer to the crust as the "coffin"; a pie crust with very thick walls was often used as the cooking receptacle—no pie plate needed. These tall, straight-sided pies appear in Dutch and French paintings; meats, fruits and sauces were layered inside. Later, tin pie plates appear, although poor housewives made do with soup bowls, dinner plates and pots—the origin of the "pot pie"; the pot later gave way to deep-dish pie plates.

Plain pastry is made from pastry flour or all-purpose flour, salt, and a fat, which can be butter, lard or vegetable shortening. The ingredients are cut with a pastry blender or two knives (or even with fingers) until it is in bits the size of peas; then the bits are sprinkled with ice water and lightly patted—never kneaded, which makes a dough too tough for tender pastry—into a ball. The ball is chilled and rolled out. Leftover scraps of dough can be used to make cheese straws.

PUFF PASTRY or CHOUX PASTRY or PÂTE À CHOUX or
Puff pastry is a light, flaky and tender pastry made by mixing flour, salt, chilled butter (or other fat) and water to form a dough. This is the process to make short pastry as well, however with puff pastry, the dough is then layered with butter, then rolled it out, folded into thirds and letting it rest.
This process, which is repeated 6 to 8 times, produces a pastry comprising hundreds of layers of dough and butter. When baked, the moisture in the butter creates steam, causing the dough to puff and separate into hundreds of extremely thin and delicate, flaky layers. Puff pastry is used for delicate pastry like cream puffs, éclairs, napoleons and some danish pastries; for sweet and savory pies and vol-au-vents; for cookies such as palmiers; and for breakfast breads such as croissants and pain au chocolat. It is also used as a wrapping pastry for dishes en croûte.
