EAST LANSING -- Michigan State sophomore defensive end Shilique Calhoun after scoring two touchdowns against South Florida was named Big Ten defensive player of the week on Monday, adding to his list of honors.
Calhoun was also named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for showing versatility with that performance and the previous day was recognized as the Walter Camp Football Foundation's national defensive player of the week.
The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Calhoun has scored three defensive touchdowns in two games, becoming the first Spartans defensive player to do so in a single season since linebacker T.J. Turner had three in 1999.
Calhoun scored on a 4-yard fumble recovery and 56-yard interception return, capitalizing on the pressure South Florida faced from Michigan State's pass rush that forced the turnovers.
This season, he leads the Spartans with four quarterback hits. He had two more of them against South Florida along with two tackles for losses and a sack to become Michigan State's first Big Ten defensive player of the week since Tyler Hoover in 2010.
Hoover was the defensive tackle who forced the fumble that Calhoun scooped up and scored.
"Through camp we discussed being able to score on defense," Calhoun said Saturday. "Even if our offense is good, even if they're doing great, we still wanted to make that another aspect of our game was to be able to score on defense. Being able to create touchdowns, so we were very excited for the challenge and we were looking forward to it. And to see it all play out after all that practice is mind-blowing."

City looking at Browns, Dash Points
By ERICA HALL
Staff writer
City officials are collecting data on unincorporated Browns Point and Dash Point areas near Federal Way and are preparing a comprehensive plan amendment for Pierce County to help smooth any future potential annexations in the area.
Federal Way City Councilman Eric Faison, a city Land-Use and Transportation Committee member, said data such as tax revenue could help residents there decide where theyd want to annex to Tacoma or Federal Way or if theyd want to annex at all.
The data available also will help city officials understand how much it would cost to provide services in the area and how much revenue the residents there would offer in taxes, officials said.
The unincorporated Dash Point and Browns Point areas of Pierce County have been on the Federal Ways annexation radar for some time. But in October 2002, officials dropped the idea of adding them to Federal Ways potential annexation area.
The 2,000-resident, low-density area is steep, rugged and difficult to serve, city staff told the Land-Use and Transportation Committee then. In addition, the committee was facing Pierce Countys December deadline for comprehensive plan amendments.
But Faison said the committee never abandoned the idea completely.
We previously tabled it, we didnt kill it, he said. The terrain and stuff was not material.
At a recent committee meeting, members asked city officials to prepare a rough estimate of the potential tax revenue for the city if the residents wanted to annex, Faison said.
As it turns out, Federal Way doesnt have to amend Pierce Countys comprehensive plan, but city officials are going to, anyway, out of courtesy.
Designating the Browns Point and Dash Point areas for potential annexation into Federal Way would make more sense than Tacoma because the areas are closer to Federal Way, officials say. But Faison emphasized the city doesnt have designs on Browns Point and Dash Point.
All were doing is saying the pieces are in place and that residents in the areas have options. They could stay in Pierce County or go to Tacoma, or to Federal Way, he said.

Hello. Do not rename the article and do not add new categories to the articles about the game. Lord Vóldemort 06:05, July 1, 2015 (UTC)
re: merge
I am aware of the variations of the games and how they're different in some ways, hell I've even done video game walkthroughs and let's plays on my youtube channel for several of the variants. My point is that the articles that detail the variations don't really add anything to the wiki as a whole and the information included on them would be better served on its main video game article, so that the information is easier to find. The differences with each games could reliably be mentioned through a section called "Differences", where you make note of the differences between each (eg, differences between pc, ps2, ps1 etc etc). And I have no idea why you are bringing up Wikipedia at all, I never mentioned it. --Sajuuk 09:33, July 21, 2015 (UTC)

GTA Europe
Posted 03 April 2005 - 03:52 PM
Hi, everyone I'm currently putting together a team to make a mod including London, Dublin and Rome in a total conversion mod for San Andreas. The plot rotates around 3 gangs, the London gangsters, Italian Mafia and IRA.
Does anyone want to help, 3d scratch moddelers, mission modders and anyone that knows anything about editing paths will be needed.
Planning [~~~~~-------]
Modding [Awaiting SA PC]
The GTA E Project.
1. Aim
2. Planning
3. Maps
4. Work Graphics
5. Progress
6. Staff
Thus, the title, GTA Europe is aiming to be a total conversion mod, changing GTA SA into cities from Europe. The only city to definitely be done is London.
London will comprise of a Westminster section, though the layout will not be geographically correct as anyone can work out that landmarks in cities are generally not very close, so we will have No. 10, The Millennium Eye, Parliament and Big Ben close together. We'll also have urban areas in the city, and the bridges like Big Ben connect to opposite shores. Now you're probably wondering how the hell, are we going to get any level of realism to this? Well, the answer is that I'll be using Pro/Desktop, an incredibly easy to use 3d tool, which allows high levels of precise detail, then I'll export to VRML>3ds>DFF and do the textures.
Plot revolves around a 25 year old London taxi driver that gets caught in the middle of a shoot-out between the London Gangs and the Police, now he's on the police's wanted list and if he's ever seen by the London gangs, he's attacked. He has to worm his way out of trouble, and also get back at the man that caused him the trouble in the first place. His only friend was put in hospital by the gangs.
Part 1. MAP. Work out basic maps, these will be just basic images, a maybe a few basic 3d models. With annotations and photos of source images.
Part 2. RESEARCH. Take photos and sketches of landmarks to be included, also any additional notes needed.
Part 3 SOME MODELS. Some models will be made in 3ds and Pro/D, assuming the converters will be available. (otherwise we're screwed.
Part 4. CLEARANCE. Clear out all the giant chunks of SA that won't be in it. For example, missions, model loads, maybe models as well. So that we have a very skimmed down version. Aim being to get it to just be a block which you spawn on, with nothing else, then we can build up the system, later adding back the crucial things like paths, ped spawning, weather etc. This is just to make it easier to work with, so the map.
Part 5. ISLAND BASES. Bases of islands will then be made, with holes in the right places for underground areas.
Part 6. BUILDINGS. Notably landmarks, then the more urban areas.
Part 7. RESTORE. Put back in the crucial items mentioned above.
Part 8. MISSIONS. Do the missions and skins.
Part 9. BUG Checking and anything I've forgot.

To the best of my knowledge, which is as a result of being closely involved and now managing www.GTALondon.com, STM is not willing to go back into partnership with anybody, as that was the reason the original GTA London mod fell apart.

And not a single fuck was given that day.

This time on the italy side as I just recieved an email from the italian leader, they now have 6 or 7 modders and have completed the colloseum, (which I still need to edit, as they don't know how to do the damage), and St Peters (you'll have seen as the place of the Popes funeral). At the moment I'm currently making big ben, from some nice blue prints I've found.

There is no "freedom of speech" in forums, yes you can say what you want but in the end what the mods say gos. This is not a democracy.

Microtherm® â the hidden success factor
Perfect design relies on perfect components and success often comes because of the hidden components that play a small but significant role. In many defence and aerospace applications around the world, the key to performance optimisation is often the use of Microtherm® insulation.
So what makes Microtherm® insulation the perfect component for defence projects? The answer is a combination of exceptional performance, adaptability in shape and formulation, suitability for diverse environmental conditions, and the global technical / engineering support from the Microtherm® organisation.
Typhoon Eurofighter Microtherm® fire protection and instrument shielding in cockpit.
The excellent thermal performance of a microporous insulation is well known. The technical article, "Not all microporous insulations are the same" outlines the theory of heat transfer and how to block it. The article, which is available to download from this web site, also provides a technical explanation of why Microtherm® insulation is so exceptionally good, even in comparison with other competing microporous insulation products from other manufacturers. It is this very high performance standard together with a technical background stretching back more than 40 years that combine to maintain the position of Microtherm® as the clear market leader.
When the formulation for Microtherm® was first patented in 1965, it became immediately apparent that there was huge commercial potential for a thermal insulation that could be used at high temperatures at as little as one quarter the thickness of conventional insulation materials, and yet could still perform more efficiently. Nowhere was this more of interest than in the cutting edge technology of aerospace and defence applications where designers constantly struggle to minimize size and weight.
Microtherm pioneered many of the design concepts still in use today.
A 35 year old photograph of a British Aerospace flight recorder, an early example of the use of Microtherm® in compact and easily portable component design.
Since the 1960's the Microtherm Group has been in the forefront of "black box" thermal protection systems using a combination of the best insulation available plus a phase change material as a safety heat sink around delicate electronics. They now provide insulation for voyage and accident data recorders for all forms of transport including ships and trains as well as aircraft.

Key features of microporous insulation materials
- Extremely low thermal conductivity to maximum rated temperature.
- Wide temperature range - cryogenic to + 1200 °C (2192 oF).
- Fibre free - environmentally safe.
- Blocks Infra-Red radiation.
- Organic content lower than 1%.
- Low density.
- Very low shrinkage at 1000 oC+ (1832 oF).
- Ultra thin insulation thickness.
- Can be accurately shaped, moulded, and machined.
Benefits of microporous insulation materials
- Optimum solution where space is limited.
- Allows ultra-slim design.
- Provides passive fire protection.
- Easy to install - fully "tailor made" solutions can be supplied.
- Helps to reduce thermal signature of military vehicles, ships, helicopters, etc..
- Helps to achieve energy savings.
- Environmentally friendly and safe to use.
- Fully engineered solutions are possible.
- Helps to save weight.
- Non combustible and creates zero smoke and toxicity.
Microporous insulation - the Microtherm® range
- Panel: Glass cloth covered rigid panel that can be supplied in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses, and densities. A hydrophobic version is also available.
- Block: Bare block material at a selection of densities. A unique hydrophobic version is available that can withstand full immersion in water for long periods of time without losing thermal performance. Block can be CNC machined.
- Moulded: Specially developed moulded parts including moulded pipe section (MPS) to fit tightly around pipes of various diameters. Can be either covered with glass cloth or a high temperature resistant coating.
- Flexible Panel: Flexible, quilted panel that exists in various versions. Densities and covering materials can vary to best suit the final use. Aeroguard® is quilted flexible panel to aerospace standards. Flexible panel also available in slatted form for pipes and cylindrical shapes.
- Microtherm ®FreeFlow: Pourable microporous granules for rapid filling of intricately shaped closed containers. The granules, with a low consolidation ratio, can be simply poured into a container to provide microporous insulation protection.
The remarkable versatility of the product range has meant that Microtherm® thermal solutions have universal application. The availability of rigid, flexible, and granular forms have enabled designers to take advantage of microporous protection wherever compact, lightweight thermal insulation is required.
The table below gives a selection of applications but these represent only a small part of the usage of Microtherm® in aerospace and defence around the world.

大型植物化石に基づく新生代の古気候変遷と気温 [in Japanese] Cenozoic climate and temperature on the basis of plant megafossils [in Japanese]
Access this Article
Search this Article
Climatic factors controlling plant growth and distribution, and methods of paleoclimatic reconstructions based on plant megafossils are briefly reviewed. Of the two basic methods, the nearest living relative and leaf physiognomy methods, the latter provides more reliable interpretations for older fossil assemblages consisting of many species whose taxonomic affinities are uncertain. As evidenced by leaf physiognomic characters and other geologic informations, overall trends indicated by Japanese Cenozoic floras are changes in temperature under the humid climate. Estimated temperature curves are provided by leaf margin analysis of dicotyledons for these floras. Around the Early/Middle Miocene boundary is the warmest period during the Miocene. The plant megafossil evidence for this warm period indicates a warm-temperate climate : mean annual temperature is less than 20℃ and mean annual range of temperature is nearly the same as or greater than that of the present. The result is inconsistent with that by pollen and molluscan assemblages, and possible explanations for this discrepancy are given.

Prospects, All-Stars, & Arizona Wrap
John Steinberg from the Brewers has this feature about Kentrail Davis, who wrapped up his Arizona Fall League season yesterday, on the John & Cait…Plus Nine blog.
"For me, it is an honor to be here," said the 23-year old. "Obviously, the Brewers believe in me and believe in what I can do. I am very happy to have this chance to show everyone a little more of what I can do. It is a good opportunity for me to show the organization that I can hit good pitching and play with the best."
Davis is 5-9 and weighs 195 pounds; he uses his athleticism and speed at the plate, on the base paths and in the outfield.
"I just go out there and play," said Davis. "If it is hitting, or stealing a bag, or running a ball down in the outfield, I use that athleticism and my ability to prove I can play."

Former Rattlers Nathan Adcock ('09) and Jeremy Jeffress ('10) are with Surprise, one of the teams that will be in the AFL Championship Game on Saturday.
MiLB.com has a list of their top 15 prospects in the Arizona Fall League. Two of them are Brewers prospects; One gets a writeup:
16. Jed Bradley, LHP, Brewers: The No. 15 overall pick in June's Draft joined Hultzen in Peoria here and there was a little bit of a split about this southpaw. He might have slightly better pure stuff than Hultzen, but not as much polish. He didn't pitch much — he had a groin issue early — but he did show hints of the repertoire that made him one of the better college arms in the Draft class.
Scooter comes in at #24, but does not get a writeup.
MiLB.com also put together Brewers Organizational All-Stars for the 2011 minor league season.
Here is the team. Click through for the full article. I'll pull out the extended writeups on the players who spent part or all of 2011 with the Timber Rattlers.
C: Martin Maldonado ('09)
1B: Mat Gamel
2B: Scooter Gennett ('10)
3B: Taylor Green ('09)
SS: Yadiel Rivera ('11)
Shortstop — Yadiel Rivera, Helena (74 games), Wisconsin (32 games): Rivera celebrated his first full year in the Minors with a Pioneer League postseason All-Star selection. Selected in the ninth round of the 2010 Draft, the shortstop hit a combined .236 with nine homers and 43 RBIs over 106 games.
He also smacked 16 doubles, legged out eight triples and scored 53 runs. No shortstop in the system had more homers, triples or RBIs than Rivera, who struggled in his first look at the Midwest League but looked much more comfortable playing rookie ball in the second half.
"He's got great potential, and he's playing guys who are two, three and four years older than he is," said [Reid] Nichols. "He's still growing. He's an inch or two taller than he was at the start of spring, and he's going through some changes with his body that he's adjusting to. He's got some leverage in his swing, and he's at the right place at the right time defensively. The game slows down for him. I think he'll be average across the board with the bat and above-average defensively."
Added [Darnell] Coles: "He's something special — 6-foot-3, maybe 6-foot-4. He may outgrow shortstop. He's got some kind of easy power. If you watch him take batting practice, he almost swings like [16-year Major League veteran] Wally Joiner. He doesn't swing very hard, but the ball jumps off his bat. He's a special talent."
OF: Brock Kjeldgaard ('09)
OF: Khris Davis ('10)
OF: TJ Mittelstaedt ('11)
T.J. Mittelstaedt, Wisconsin (113 games): After appearing in just 45 games in his rookie season in the Arizona League last year, Mittelstaedt spent all of 2011 in the Class A Midwest League. He hit .293 and drew 76 walks, giving him a .410 on-base percentage that ranked second in the league.
The 23-year-old, who hit in every spot in the lineup, smacked a dozen homers, swiped 28 bases and scored 72 runs. He predominantly manned left field, but he also saw time in right, at second base and as the team's designated hitter. Completing his utility makeup, Mittelstaedt also pitched in two games, tossing a scoreless inning on each occasion.
"T.J. has done a great job coming in as a guy battling for a position, but he's shown our organization that he can take pitches, take close pitches, work the count, see a lot of pitches per at-bat and help the guys behind him and the guys in front of him," Nichols said.
"He's a fantastic utility guy who swings the bat well," said Coles. "He puts the ball in play. He's a headsy player like Willie Bloomquist. He plays every place well, he understands when to bunt and he reads the game well."

Baseball America has their list of the top 10 prospects in the Brewers System. From Tom Haudricourt's introduction:
Milwaukee didn't need much help from the minor leagues [in 2011], though third baseman Taylor Green parlayed a big season at Triple-A into a late-August callup and a spot on the postseason roster. After dropping to 30th in Baseball America's rankings following the Greinke and Marcum deals, the farm system rallied in 2011 and showed some promise for the future.
The Brewers won't necessarily have openings for them, but Green, outfielders Logan Schafer and Caleb Gindl and righthander Michael Fiers have proven themselves in Triple-A and could help at the major league level in 2012. Righthander Wily Peralta, the orgnization's No. 1 prospect, allowed just seven runs in five Triple-A starts at the end of the season and isn't far behind.
The list (with Rattlers alumni in bold):
1. Wily Peralta, rhp
2. Taylor Jungmann, rhp
3. Jed Bradley, lhp
4. Tyler Thornburg, rhp
5. Scooter Gennett, 2b
6. Logan Schafer, of
7. Cody Scarpetta, rhp
8. Taylor Green, 3b/2b
9. Jorge Lopez, rhp
10. Jimmy Nelson, rhp
One other news item to pass along in this post. Baseball America's Prospect Blog has the players release by Milwaukee in the last week. There were a few Rattlers on that list.

Arizona Fall League Report (Games of November 2)
Scooter Gennett ('10): 3-for-4, RUN, RBI
Kentrail Davis ('10): 1-for-4
Adam Moore ('06): 1-for-3, RUN
The game story from MLB has this little bit on Scooter's day:
Javelinas leadoff man Scooter Gennett, the Brewers' No. 4 prospect, and No. 9 hitter Ryan Jackson (Cardinals) each went 3-for-4. It was the second straight three-hit game for Gennett, who raised his average to .383, while Jackson struck out on four pitches in the eighth inning to fall a homer shy of the cycle.
AFL All-Stars
The Arizona Fall League announced the rosters for their "Rising Stars" game. The game will be held on November 5. November 5 may have been here before they were done announcing the rosters on twitter.
Anyways, there are a few former Timber Rattlers who were named to the West squad.
Nathan Adcock, who is on twitter as @NathanAdcock47, and Jeremy Jeffress are both playing for Surprise in the AFL this fall and were announced as part of the team.
Jed Bradley is not an ex-Timber Rattlers player – but he is a 2011 Milwaukee Brewers first round draft pick. He is also on the West squad.
As coincidence would have it all three of those pitchers, um, pitched in AFL games yesterday.

The Australian Baseball League and the Puerto Rican Winter League both start this week. Jamie McOwen ('07) is back in Australia. I have not seen a full roster for any of the teams in either league yet. When I know, you'll know.
Rough day for ex-Rattlers
Tough day for Scooter Gennett ('10) in the Arizona Fall League. The Peoria Javelinas beat Phoenix 7-5 in 11 innings.
Scooter went 0-for-5 with an RBI, a walk, and three strikeouts.
Logan Schaefer, a fellow Brewers minor leauger, also went 0-for-5 in that game.
But, that all pales when compared to the night for Mark Lowe ('05). When he was a Rattler, Lowe made 22 starts and went 6-6 with an ERA of 5.47. In 103.2 innings pitched, Lowe allowed 107 hits – 12 homers – walked 49 and struck out 72.
Lowe has joined a club with Pat Darcy, Charlie Leibrant, and Mitch Williams as the other members. All four pitchers have given up "walk-off" home runs in Game Six of a World Series.
Carlton Fisk's 12th inning homer at Fenway Park gave the Red Sox a 7-6 win over Cincinnati in 1975.
Kirby Puckett's 11th inning homer at the Metrodome gave the Twins a 4-3 win over Atlanta in 1991.
Joe Carter's 9th inning homer at Skydome gave the Blue Jays an 8-6 win over Philadelphia in 1993.
I found an AP article with comments from Lowe
Rangers' Lowe wanted Game 6 in his hands
"If you don't want to be in that situation I was in as a pitcher," Lowe said, "you're in the wrong business. This is what I've worked for my whole career and I was where I wanted to be."
Too bad his pitch wasn't.
Lowe's change-up drifted over the plate and Freese tattooed it to center field, the winning homer sending the record crowd of 47,325 at Busch Stadium into a delirious frenzy. The homer gave St. Louis a dramatic 10-9 victory and forced the first Game 7 in the World Series since 2002.
"I didn't have the results I wanted," Lowe said, "but tomorrow's a new day and I could get in there and get a big out and nobody remembers this game. That's baseball."
I hope that Lowe does get another chance, but history says probably not. Neither Darcy nor Leibrandt got a chance to redeem themselves in the Game 7 that was played the next day. Williams did not get the opportunity because Carter's home run ended the series.
However, the way the Rangers bullpen was used up last night, he may.
Speaking of last night's game. I am not sure how many of you are into Win Expectancy Graphs, but take a look at this over at Baseball Reference. The graph shows how likely it is that one team will win the game. The line moves on each play. The more the line swings to one team, the more likely that team is to win the game.
To put it in words:
After Neftali Feliz struck out Ryan Theriot for the first out of the ninth inning, the Rangers win expectancy was 96%.
After Josh Hamilton hit his home run in the 10th, the Rangers win expectancy was 93%.
Just head over and look at the roller coaster.

This piece has been up over at Bernie's Crew for the last couple of days, so it's about time I put a link to it here. I'll put Jim's introduction here, but you'll need to click the link to see how pitchers in the Brewers Minor League system are lined up by certain categories.
Every year, members of the media and fans spend far too much time breaking down the ERA of minor league pitchers.
I have yet to talk to a scout who legitimately believes ERA illustrates much of anything in terms of talent in a young pitcher. It's all about the projectability of the stuff, the skill set on the mound, and the relative age to his opponents.
Pinpointing the ultimate projectability of a pitcher's repertoire is an artform that is often honed, but never mastered. It's not as objective as simply standing in the scout's section of the ballpark with a radar gun and logging velocity readings. It's about understanding mechanics. It's about understanding what could be there, rather than what already is.
One of the easiest ways to grab a snapshot of the Brewers' minor league system is to categorize them according to the three main skills on the mound: ground-ball percentage, walk rate, and strikeout rate.

Nationals starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann pitched six shutout innings, Jayson Werth hit his fourth home run of the spring as Washington beat the New York Mets 3-2 on today.
Werth led off the fourth inning with a shot over the left-field wall to help back Zimmermann's best start of the spring. The right-hander allowed two hits, struck out two and didn't walk a batter.
Mets starter Jon Niese gave up two runs on five hits and a walk in six innings. He struck out six.
The Mets scored in the seventh when Lucas Duda tripled to drive in Jason Bay, who returned to the lineup after sitting out two games with a bruised hand when he was hit by a pitch Sunday against the Nationals.

HARVEST, Alabama -- The Harvest-Monrovia Water Authority has lifted its mandatory water conservation order.
Because of the recent rainfall and cooperation by the authority's 14,700 water customers, General Manager Roger Raby said water storage tanks are at normal levels for the first time in a month.
In a news release sent this afternoon, the authority said it has ramped back to Level 2 voluntary restrictions. Customers with even-numbered addresses are asked to water their lawns on Mondays and Wednesdays only; those with odd-numbered addresses should use their sprinklers on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.
While the authority is asking customers not to water outside at all on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Raby said no fines will be issued.
"Although we have received rain the past few days, we do not want the customers to get a false sense of security concerning the tank levels," he said. "We are still in drought conditions with rainfall 4-5 inches below average for this time of year."

HOLYOKE -- A city development board has taken back a vacant lot at Pleasant and Hampden streets that entertainment venue owner Eric Suher has owned for 7 1/2 years but failed to develop.
"We agonized for a long period of time, recognizing, certainly, that the economy in '08 took a spiral downward that was beyond any business person's capability," Carl Eger, Jr., chairman of the Holyoke Economic Development and Industrial Corporation (HEDIC), said Thursday.
But the board's patience ran out, and members voted 5-0 Monday to buy the lot for $1 and advertise for another developer, he said.
That step exercised a process known as a reverter, which lets a city or town reclaim a property after a certain period and seek another developer to prevent an area from getting stagnant.
Suher received a half a dozen extensions from HEDIC over the years to try to build up the site across from Peoples Bank. But he said he was unable to find the right retail or office tenant to fulfill his goal of building a "great looking building."
"Several strong tenants" who initially committed to the lot withdrew when the economy tumbled, he said.
"Finding the right mix of tenants to support this type of project was the only way it would have been prudent for me to invest the money necessary to properly build on this site. Having the pressure of a reverter doesn't necessarily allow for the right project, but I understand HEDIC's desire to see the project underway," Suher said.
Suher, a Holyoke native, owns numerous properties in the area, including the Mountain Park concert site here. He also owns the Iron Horse Music Hall, Pearl Street nightclub and the Calvin Theatre, all in Northampton.
HEDIC board members who voted to take back the property were Joseph M. McGiverin, Matthew A. Mainville, David M. Bartley, Kenneth A. "Kip" Foley and Eger., the chairman said.
Member Michael Murphy was absent and member David G. Healey, an engineer who has done business with Suher, abstained, Eger said.

Syracuse, NY -- The lawyer for murder suspect Ronald Meadow sought to leave no stone unturned this morning in demanding evidence in the 29-year-old case.
Ed Menkin sent a letter to County Court Judge Anthony Aloi requesting an order for the District Attorney's Office to give him more information.
DA William Fitzpatrick said he'll prosecute the case personally if it reaches trial. And there's every indication that it will.
But today, Assistant District Attorney Robert Moran told the judge that Menkin had everything prosecutors had. But Menkin, while saying he believed prosecutors were acting in good faith, pushed for more.
At one point, Moran argued that "there was no basis" for ordering prosecutors to hand over everything, noting he would anyway.
"There is a basis: I'm ordering it," Aloi responded. He noted the unusual nature of a case so old.
Meandow, 60, was accused of murdering his estranged wife, Colleen, in her Syracuse apartment in 1985. Ronald Meadow was not charged until December 2013 after prosecutors said DNA evidence connected Meadow to the strangulation.
Meadow's first lawyer, James McGraw, lambasted the evidence as constituting "one of the weakest cases I've seen." He noted that hair on the belt believed to be the murder weapon did not belong to either Ronald or Colleen Meadow.
The DNA authorities used to tie Ronald Meadow to the killing came from under Colleen Meadow's fingernail, McGraw said.
Now Menkin, another longtime lawyer, is proving just as skeptical as McGraw was. Among his demands are the victim's complete toxicology and autopsy reports, photographs and any recordings made of police interviews.
Menkin said he guessed there were recordings made due to the detailed nature of the police report.
The evidence in the case is voluminous: it spans three decades and extends to a court ruling in Georgia, where Ronald Meadow was living at the time of his arrest last year.
Menkin noted that he was entitled to anything that was "discoverable" by the DA's office.
"If they don't have something that's discoverable, they have to go find it," he said.
Meadow is due back in court June 16. He is free on $450,000 bail, but must remain in the state.

Rep. Ron Marsico, R-Lower Paxton Twp., issued a statement explaining why he supported the transportation funding plan that the House Transportation Committee approved today that would raise $2 billion more a year to fund transportation projects around the state.
That additional money will come from uncapping the oil franchise tax that will likely add up to 28 cents on the cost of a gallon of gas, along with other increases in fees, fines and taxes.
He said: "I believe it is a good compromise to raise the much-needed dollars to address our state's 4,700 deficient bridges and roughly 8,000 miles of roadway that are in extremely poor, unsafe condition. Obviously, this is an area of great concern to me because it is a matter of public safety. We cannot continue to ignore the problem. It is time to step up and make the tough decisions about how we are going to rectify this enormous problem.
"Even though I am supportive of the overall concept of the bill, some concerns remain, which I hope will be addressed once the legislation is considered by the entire House. For example, I was disappointed that we were unable to address the issue of prevailing wage in this bill and the huge effect it has on our state's municipalities. Local governments have been calling upon the General Assembly for quite some time to provide meaningful prevailing wage reform so that they are finally relieved of some of the onerous burden that has been upon them for far too long. I intend to continue pushing for relief in this area.
"I know that this is a bi-partisan effort, and I feel this bill addresses the critical issue of adequately funding Pennsylvania's infrastructure. It was important to move this legislation along and I am pleased that we were able to do that today.
"This is an issue that we must resolve immediately. Further inaction will only jeopardize safety and affect our state's economy. For me, that is simply not an option."

Team 1
New Mexico, 52 miles, NM 35 to Caledonia Trailhead
Ken Haag knew his CDT assignment would kick his butt. The five-day section through New Mexico's Gila National Forest and Aldo Leopold Wilderness is known for its poor signage, downed trees, and scarce water. And with Truth or Consequences (the nearest town) a four-hour drive from the trailhead, he realized he couldn't count on help should anything go awry. By the time Haag, a pharmaceutical sales rep and former Army captain, joined team members Matt Feeney, Steve Taranowski, and Jason Childre at a remote ranger station, he'd steeled himself for the worst.
The first few miles were gravy. The late May weather was mild, the mountain forest thick and fragrant, and the trail faint but discernible. But beyond 10,015-foot Reed's Peak, the CDT's high point in New Mexico, the hike turned hellish. Haag's team entered a vast burn where jackstrawed piles of downed trees littered the landscape. Scrambling over, under, and around them was "like tackling a military obstacle course," Haag says. Carrying nine liters of water apiece, they staggered under 60-pound loads. At first, they counted each downed tree out loud to pass the time. At 300, Haag kept track in his head. Two days, 25 miles, and 600 uprooted stumps later, they arrived at their vehicle, exhausted and amazed at how trail-less the CDT can be. "These mountains are positively beautiful," says Haag, "but this section is in terrible shape." The few markers they spotted were broken or fallen, and the deadfall in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness was almost impassable. "If they're going to call it a trail," says Haag, "then it needs to be a trail."
Through the ordeal, Haag gained three new friends; the team is planning annual backpacking reunions. Even better, he reports, "I can tell my grandkids I helped map the CDT."
Team 40
Idaho/Montana, 65 miles, Bannack Pass to Bannock Pass
Downed trees weren't a problem for Dwight Worthington, but he gave up trying to count the wildlife he spotted along his team's five-day segment from Idaho's Bannack Pass to Montana's Bannock Pass. "Plus, we had good views, nice campsites, and no one on the trail," says Worthington. His wife, Marita, and friend Darrel Wharton joined the team, along with three llamas, two horses, and two dogs.
Thanks to the pack animals, which each hauled about 60 pounds of food and gear, "we ate pretty good," admits Worthington. They also helped alert the team to the presence of wildlife: Camped near Deadman Lake (at 8,000 feet on day one), they followed the llamas' gaze to a big bull moose. Later, they watched 300 elk grazing along the Montana border, and spied a lone bull frolicking in the snow. Worthington even glimpsed a wolf above Tex Creek.
Dwight and Marita have llama-packed Idaho's backcountry for 23 years, but mapping their favorite wilderness presented fresh challenges. "It was fun not knowing exactly where the trail went and having to search for it," Worthington says. In the end, the rewards far exceeded the effort. The team enjoyed clear skies and big mountain vistas. They skimmed grassy ridgelines and sat atop the Divide. They gazed over a sea of snowcapped peaks and basked in complete solitude. And they paused longer than usual to appreciate a stirring view when the morning sun lit up the granite faces above their third camp. "A long mountain hike is like drinking a good aged wine," says Worthington. "You don't hurry it."

UNION TWP. — When the Union Township Committee meets tonight, Wednesday, one of the items of business will be honoring a North Hunterdon High School junior who lives in the township.
Mayor William Bischoff is to present a proclamation to Gary Pyner Jr. for his efforts to help a classmate who was choking.
According to a report in the school newsletter by Principal Michael Hughes, during a cafeteria study hall, Gary performed the Heimlich maneuver to aid the classmate. This happened last Sept. 21.
"I saw him having a hard time breathing so I knew that I had to help," he told Hughes. Gary explained that he had taken emergency and first aid training including the implementation of the Heimlich procedure because he felt it was important to know.
"Gary is an unsung hero!" Hughes wrote. "We recognize and appreciate his quick response to the situation in helping his fellow classmate."
The Township Committee meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 140 Perryville Road.

As a new resident in Teton Valley, I've found VARD to be a very strong resource for residents, landowners, and developers. VARD advocates for sustainable development and natural resource protections. Their work with partners on both sides of the Tetons exemplifies their cooperative and collaborative programming to achieve conservation outcomes in our community. Their work on replatting subdivisions, their input and attendance at local meetings and their communications and education of the public is terrific. They work hard for landowners and the public, protecting property rights, improving property values and our way of life in Teton Valley. Keep up the good work! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback and thank you for volunteering!

I'm thinking today about Ben Burtt and the tour of Smokey Hollow we took back in 1997.
Ben died two weeks ago in Ohio, where he'd moved last year. Before that the Burtts lived on Smokey Hollow Road, near Jamesville since 1969. They built the house, along the rim of Smokey Hollow, a piece of land we're told used to be one of the busiest in Onondaga County.
That was when the hollow was home to limestone quarries.
Ben was a major resource, for me and hundreds of others in Central New York. He was a professor emeritus of chemistry at Syracuse University, but Ben's hobby was birds. He became an expert on the subject. Ben's column on birds ran in the Syracuse Newspapers more than 50 years. Best I can figure his last column appeared in Star's Magazine in 2011. It was about owls.
Ben was 91.
In 1997, I'd called Ben to ask him about Smokey Hollow. He offered to take me for a walk through the ruins, which were his neighbor. He knew his way through the overgrowth, a thicket of trees that had grown up over the years. A beautiful stream (Rust Creek) runs along the gully's floor; there are two small waterfalls.
I remember how jaunty Ben looked that day, dressed in sneakers, white shirt, tie and a straw fedora. He explained, as we bushwhacked in, that the hollow took its name from smoke that rose from the limestone kilns of stone, where the limestone was turned into lime and plaster.
On the way in we passed a chlorine shed for the East Syracuse village water supply, which came from these hills. The village taps springs in the hollow.
Ben knew plenty about plants, too. He pointed out the giant hogwood in the hollow, which he said had been planted by the late Emil Jessen, who ran Evergreen Mart. Emil owned the property where Arthur Fritz, Ben's neighbor, lived. He said Emil got the seeds in Europe and spread them along roadsides in his travels. The flower, he explained, "is like a huge Queen Anne lace."
Ben said there had been a railroad spur into the hollow years ago. I tried to imagine hundreds of quarrymen cutting stone and the wood fires burning limestone down to a powder used in plaster and concrete. This went on until 1904, according to local histories.
The hollow had eight kilns. Ben led me to the remains of one, which might have been the sole survivor of the industry. It lifted more than 20 feet to the rim of the quarry.
"They say the stone for the Jamesville Reservoir dam came from this quarry," Ben remarked.
Actually, Onondaga County is big enough to support two Smokey Hollow Roads. The second is in the town of Lysander. It has a lot of spooky lore attached to it. Also, it's a pretty good spot for bird-watching. Historians tell us the name connects to fog rising from a swamp out yonder.
I consulted with Ben again in 2008, when we talked about the empty purple martin bird apartments at the Erie Canal Museum. He'd interviewed someone who'd seen the original house next to the Erie Canal back in 1885. We're told the first "wedding cake house," the work of master carpenter John Masso, stopped drawing martins when it was removed during renovations at the Weighlock Building.
Ben said the birds used the house when it was next to water, where they feasted on water bugs. Once it was gone for a while, they never came back. A replica house was put up in 2008; the canal water's gone, of course.
Ben Burtt's son, Ben Jr., is a much-honored sound engineer out in Hollywood. He's said he captured a lot of the sounds he reengineered for films such as "Indiana Jones" and the "Star Wars" series at Smokey Hollow. Ben Jr. is among Ben's survivors, who also include his wife, Dorothy.
A memorial service is planned for the summer.
Nat's birthday party
I wrote about Nat Tobin and his wife, Eileen, proprietors of Manlius Art Cinema, last fall. In an email, they tell me they're planning two, free screenings at the old movie house April 1. The event celebrates Nat's 20th anniversary running the Manlius picture show, which was built to show films in 1918.
We marked Manlius as the oldest house in Onondaga County.
On that Sunday in April, the Tobins will show a director's cut of "Cinema Paridiso," voted the best foreign language film (Italian) in 1989. They describe the film as celebrating "youth, friendship and the everlasting magic of the movies." It's about a film projectionist.
Nat says he was inspired by the headline written for the column, "He's Living Cinema Paridiso."

The most Viral song in the world this week belongs to Shakira. Her cover of the classic Catalan track "Boig per Tu", which appears on her new self-titled album, tops the chart. It's a popular song on a popular album by a popular artist, but as always, the Viral Chart uncovered more than that. This particular track is so Viral because it's controversial: political tensions between Catalans and the rest of Spain have been bubbling up in recent weeks, and many are viewing Shakira's choice to include a song written in Catalan as political endorsement. Whether or not that's true, this is certainly a track that everyone's talking about and the Viral Chart is, again, the best chart in the industry to show that!The Black Keys come in at #2 on the Global Viral Chart this week with their new track "Fever". They announced a new album, Turn Blue, last week and this is the first single from that album. Future Islands continue their viral run this week; "Seasons (Waiting on You)" is up a spot #4-#3 and the momentum behind this track shows no signs of slowing down.
US Highlights:
At this point, "Dark Horse" is anything but an underdog. The track spends its 11th week in a row at #1 in the US, the longest such streak of the past year.John Legend's ballad "All of Me" is slowly closing the gap. Streams of the track increased by about 40,000 last week, which was good enough for a second week at #2. It currently sits about 40,000 streams behind "Dark Horse" (which had a big decrease this week), so next week might be the week that Perry's reign at the top comes to an end. Watch this space to find out what happens!The rest of the Top-5 is unchanged this week as well: Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" spends its second week at #3, "Pompeii" by Bastille is #4, and "Let It Go" from the Frozen Soundtrack is #5.The Black Keys' "Fever" debuted at #1 on the US Viral Chart, showing that fans are clearly excited and ready for Turn Blue's release. Big Scary, the duo from Australia, takes the runner-up spot on the chart this week. Their track "Twin Rivers" can be found on the Twin Rivers EP, which was released exclusively on Spotify last week. Another newcomer to the chart, Sylvan Esso, is at #3. This is the side-project of Amelia Randall Meath (from the band Mountain Man), and her track "Coffee" got heavy media coverage when it was released last week.
UK Highlights:
"Rather Be" continues its run at the top of the UK Spotify-50 this week; it's #1 for a ninth week in a row. John Legend's "All of Me" is coming up strong, though, streams of that track increased by about 150,000 last week and jumped the song four spots #6-#2. Legend is still about 40,000 streams behind Clean Bandit, but if it keeps up this momentum it could be the track to end the "Rather Be" run at the top."Dark Horse" drops a spot #2-#3, and Route 94's "My Love" (which, like "Rather Be", features Jess Glynne) drops #3-#4, both to make room for "All of Me"'s strong week towards the top. We'll have to wait for that Jess Glynne 1-2 punch in the top two spots, but being featured on 40% of the UK Top-5 isn't so bad either. Sam Smith rounds out the Top 5 with "Money on My Mind", we'll need to see if his performance on SNL this weekend bumps up his streams at all.The most Viral song in the UK is "Fever", but closely following at #2 is a track called "Hideaway" by newcomer Kiesza. This track is blowing up in the UK in a big way, and we expect this track to make the "viral crossover" into the Spotify-50 in no time. —Follow @SpotifyArtists on Twitter and sign up to the Artist Services Newsletter for regular updates on best practice, product updates, financial information and other useful information for artists and their teams.

Nick Haycock was left pondering what might have been after his Development Squad surrendered a two-goal lead, before ending up on the wrong end of a 3-2 Barclays Under-21 Premier League defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur.The evening had begun so well, with skipper Dan Potts and then Sebastian Lletget handing the Hammers a commanding 2-0 advantage at the interval.But once Spurs had seized the second-half initiative, West Ham were unable to wrestle back control, succumbing to a deflected Simon Dawkins goal, Lewis Holtby's stunner and a controversial late Shaquile Coulthirst winner. In all, it amounted to a frustrating outcome for the U21s boss, who bemoaned a host of missed chances in the first half and a lack of leadership in the second.
He told West Ham TV: "It was a game of two halves. We were unlucky not to come in four, five goals to the good. That's being realistic. "[We've had one] cleared off the line. Paul McCallum has had a great header, he should score, he knows that. He's had a dink over the 'keeper which was easy for a technical player, which he is and he score those goals. And then Elliot has just dragged his shot wide of the post with his left foot, after some great movement.
Dan Potts celebrates his opener with Sebastian Lletget and Blair Turgott
"At half time, [I told them] keep doing the same, don't drop too deep, make sure you retain possession when we can and we didn't do that! "We defended too deep, we gave too many aimless long balls and then when it went up it didn't stick. They looked a little bit more resilient in the second half, and a bit more aggressive in their defending, which helped them get back in the game." While there can be no argument that Spurs enjoyed the upper-hand after the interval, Haycock was justly aggrieved with the manner of the visitor's three goals, not least the 86th minute winner.
He continued: "A deflected goal for the first one, a great strike from a German international, and then, disappointingly, making no excuses, but the winner's offside. We've just seen it. It's a great bit of skill from the kid to dink it over us, but it's offside and I thought over the course of the game a draw would probably have been a fair result. "We've had the elation of winning in the last five minutes, we've now got to deal with the disappointment of losing in them too."
Frustrating though it might be, Haycock knows that Friday's difficult second half, was due, in part at least, to a lack of experience. The returning George McCartney departed the action after the hour, with the Hammers losing their way somewhat thereafter. "George McCartney's playing and the instructions were 60 minutes, so we brought him off after the hour. I think that change affected us slightly, but they've got to learn to deal with that sort of thing. If you're not right for 95 minutes you're going to get punished.
"I don't think we had the leadership in there to have the confidence to play. That's the disappointing thing, because at 2-0 you should control the game and we allowed them to control us a little bit. "Had Kevin Nolan, Mark Noble, or James Collins been playing tonight, at 2-0 up, they don't let a team back in it. They're the fine details, we'll make sure that's the message and we'll be ready for Newcastle."

The morning traffic snarl that crawls north along the Windan Bridge doesn't bother me so much today.
More Perth:
Rather than sitting stationary between bumpers, I'm idling ever-so-slowly below, tracing the Claisebrook shoreline in a kayak. And although it's only 8C, I'm hooked into the hypnotic rhythm of paddle strokes, my muscles warmed by energy expended.
I drive over the Swan River twice a day, to work and then home, and I've done it thousands of times, rarely thinking about the beauty or texture of this ribbon of life that sluices the metro area into rough halves. But now I'm taking time out to get a feel for the Swan with Leonie Cockman from Water Wanderers and a couple of her friends from the Ascot Kayak Club.
Earlier, we'd set off from a sliver of beach, where Nile and Nelson streets meet, in new crimson sea kayaks each named for a famous redhead.
"Julia" had been left at home; today we are cruising with "Bette" and "Shirley". A hint of glitz on the Swan, I think as I grapple with a long velcro skirt, trying to pull it over my legs and up to my chest while keeping my life jacket in place.
"It's not a glamorous sport, is it," says Leonie as she watches me contort. I will later be glad of the protection my skirt gives me from the cold river water that slips off my oars.
A veteran of 10 Avon Descents, Leonie started her tours in June and with the scenic Swan as a "playfield" and her knowledge of the river, they should go well. Leonie has kayaked across the vastness of Canada and paddled down the Mackenzie River in to the Arctic but it is our very own Swan that is her home ground.
And as we sweep into Claisebrook Cove, now edged by townhouses and restaurants, she talks of how little Claise Brook once drained the wetlands of what is now the northern suburbs and was a pantry for indigenous people.
"It's funny how we talk of reclaimed land as if it was already once ours to use," Leonie remarks. And she has a point.
But although the city has long since encroached on the river, much of the Swan is sandwiched between long, thin strips of park - a bastion for runners and cyclists. Dolphins frequent the waters, corralling fish in the shallows, and birds are at home there, too.
As the sun rises higher, light glinting off ripples in the river, a pelican takes to the sky.
Heavy and languid, it just clears the cove bridge. On the rocky shore, a trio of cormorants are more graceful, standing tall as they hang glossy black wings in the wind.
And then out of the warmth, we slip into the chill concrete shadow of Windan Bridge, a rush-hour reality check. On the near bank the Old East Perth Power Station is a monument to the derelict and to beigeness.
My peak-hour panorama is of the graffiti-scrawled part of the building - this bland facade is a new look for me.
But that's true, too, of the more agreeable parts of the river. Of the little wooden jetty slapped gently by the waters, of the stooping eucalypt canopy and of the pelicans, shags and fat little ducks that live and die by the Swan.

EUCLID, Ohio — A masked man walked into a bar, asked for a drink, tried to rob the bar at knifepoint and then tried to hide from police in nearby shrubbery, police reports say.
The man police found hiding in the bushes on Friday near the Bench Lounge bar on Lakeshore Boulevard, Roger A. Veverka Sr., 54, of Euclid, faces a first-degree felony aggravated robbery charge in Euclid Municipal Court.
Bond is set at $100,000 and his case will be reviewed by a Cuyahoga County grand jury.
Witnesses told police Veverka walked into the bar about 2:15 a.m. wearing a gray zip-up mask. The bartender, who was counting the money in the cash register for the night, told police she quickly shut the drawer and asked Veverka what he was doing, police reports say.
The woman said in a written statement to police that Veverka ordered a drink, which she refused. He then asked to use the restroom, police reports say. The woman asked him to take off his mask, and the man quickly walked behind the bar and started waving a knife, police reports say.
The bartender called for her boyfriend who was in a back room and jumped over the counter, police reports say. Both ran outside. Police reports say Veverka unsuccessfully tried to open the cash register by pressing several different buttons.
The bartender's boyfriend yelled to the man that the police were coming, police reports say. Veverka, according to police, ran out of the bar and again waived the knife at the two.
The bartender's boyfriend followed the man and saw him hide in nearby bushes. When police arrived, the boyfriend pointed the man out to police, who arrested Veverka, police reports say.
Police found the mask and knife near the shrubs, police reports say.
