Glentehøj (kite hill)
Glentehøj is a very well-preserved megalithic tomb built approx. 3200 B.C. The grave-mound itself is round, approx 5 m high and 30 m wide.
You enter the megalithic tomb from the south side through a 4 m long passage. This passage has 5 upright megalith support stones on each side and 4 cover stones whereas the tomb itself has 7 support stones on each side and 5 very big cover stones.
The lenght of the tomb is 9 m, and the width is 3 m at one end and 1,5 m at the other end.
Glentehøj belonged under the Halsted Convent, but in 1826 it was excavated by E.C. Kamla who was the private tutor to Count Reventlow.
Glentehøj was restored in 1925 and on January 1, 1983 the mound was handed over to the Storstrøm-county.
You enter the megalithic tomb by a footpath from the parking ground at Glentehøjvej, where you will find a notice-board with detailed information.
Bring along a torch or a candle.

Councilman Charles Germershausen, a Republican, plans to challenge Taylor, a fellow Republican, as either a write-in Republican candidate or as an independent in the November election, the newspaper reported.
Additionally, Paul Chase, a former councilman, Russell Corrao, a zoning board member, and William Zuckerman, a longtime member of the fire department, will run in June as a GOP write-in for one of two council seats expiring on Dec. 31, the newspaper reported.
Earlier this month, the governing body appointed Taylor acting mayor after Mayor Scott Eveland resigned.
Taylor was later appointed interim mayor and his running mate in the GOP primary, Thomas Michalowski, was appointed to the council, Florham Park Patch reported.
As previously reported by NJ.com, Democrats have fielded John Upton and Peter Nicolas for the June primary, both of whom ran unsuccessfully last year.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
this song is pretty cool, the melody is nice, the violin is also pretty cool but the bass is too loud for me (literally), but the bass is perfect (no distortion, follow a certain melody etc)!!!
Glad you like it.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is tight. I felt like the "echo" of that beat was off at first, but I like how it sort of comes together. I usually like when a song does that. That upped the epicness by 100%. The only gripe I have with it is, well I really like how the tempo raised at the end, and I wasn't paying attention to the time bar. So I was thinking "Oh snap this is really about to be intense," but then when it ended it felt like I had just run into a pole... Lol. Still a really great track though!
Ha... Yeah... this wasn't a serious project at all, just something to keep the creative juices flowing, even if just a little bit.
Glad you could enjoy it though.

N. Jackson fire victim identified
YOUNGSTOWN – The Mahoning County Coroner's Office has identified one of the victims of the early Sunday morning fatal fire in North Jackson as 75-year-old Audrey L. Lundsford.
The identity of the second victim, believed to be Jeffrey Todd Davenport, Lundsford's adult son, cannot be confirmed until dental analysis is completed, according to a news release issued by the coroner's office on Tuesday. Until then, the coroner's office has listed him as a "John Doe."
The dental analysis was scheduled to be performed today by Dr. Robert Johnson.
Coroner David M. Kennedy reported that Davenport's remains, which were badly burned, suggest smoke inhalation as the cause of death, and that no trauma was found on his body. Toxicology results are pending.
An autopsy on Lundsford was to be performed today. The coroner's office reported her remains showed no evidence of trauma.
Jackson Township fire crews were called to the home on North Duck Creek Road near Silica Road shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday.
A dog and a parakeet also died in the fire.
Officials said the blaze started in a corner of the garage and then spread to the rest of the house, but investigators have not yet determined a cause. They said that they did not find any working smoke detectors at the residence.

BATON ROUGE -- Teach for America is placing 115 new teachers in south Louisiana classrooms in the fall.
Officials said Thursday that will nearly triple the number of new teachers it brought to the region last year.
Sarah Young, development manager for Teach For American South Louisiana, said the program placed 40 teachers into schools in south Louisiana during the 2008-09 school year. Those 40 teachers will return for the upcoming school year, bringing the number to 155.
Michael Tipton, executive director for Teach For America South Louisiana, said the region will experience the second largest increase in incoming corps members of all Teach for America regions.
State Superintendent Paul Pastorek, in a Teach for America news release, said Teach for America provides "fuel to change the economy of South Louisiana."

Fraud, Pinecrest Drive: A woman reported April 7 that her nephew, 18, applied on Instagram for a job last month and provided his potential employer with personal and checking account information -- with the aunt further noting that his is attached to her account as well. There have since been several fraudulent transactions accessing her account, which has since been frozen by her bank. Detectives are now working with the bank.
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Orange Place: A Warrensville Heights woman came to the police station on April 5 after her daughter, 17, had been charged with OVI/impaired driving when she left a hotel party and struck a utility pole. The mother wanted to press charges against a friend's older sister, 28, from Windsor, whom she accused of smoking marijuana with her daughter before she crashed her car. The suspect was interviewed at the hotel and declined to give a written statement to police, other than to say that the marijuana was not laced with any hallucinogens, as the girl's mother alleged.
Disturbance, Orange Place: Police advised a Shaker Heights woman, 39, and a Cleveland man, 36, about misuse of 911 emergency dispatch late on April 1 following a dispute over a 25-minute wait at Bahama Breeze. The woman, who turned 40 after midnight, reportedly followed a manager into the kitchen, asking her to step outside, at which point several employees held her back from entering. Police told her it was a restricted area and she would have to take it up with corporate offices, then thought they had sent her on her way -- before they realized she and her companion then called 911 to reiterate their grievances.
Fraud/Insufficient checks, Miles Road: A Mantua landscaper may be charged with passing bad checks after Romano & Sons Nursery turned over the matter of a $1,422 bounced check over to police earlier this month. The check was written by a landscaper for materials last year, and subsequent attempts to cash it on both the Romanos' and the suspect's account have been unsuccessful.
Theft from building, Orange Place: A Twinsburg woman reported April 6 that she left her $300 Samsung Galaxy phone on a table at Red Lobster restaurant the day before. and when she quickly realized she didn't have it and went back in, it was gone. She tried calling her number but the phone was already turned off. A Red Lobster manager planned to meet with employees and the victim has also contacted T-Mobil.
Warrant served, Emery Road: A Lyndhurst woman, 36, was pulled over just before 9:30 a.m. on April 5 on a felony warrant from the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office, and was taken to the county jail without incident.
Marijuana possession, Orange Place: After police responded after checkout time on March 31 to a complaint from management at the Extended Stay America South about a guest who still owed them $45 after his credit card declined, they went up to the room of the Centerville man, 23. There, they smelled marijuana and saw about 2.6 grams sitting in plain view on a counter when he opened the door. He was cited, and made good on the $45.
Unruly juvenile, Emery Road: Police received a call on the morning of April 7 from a woman who said her daughter, 12, was being disrespectful and refusing to go to school. Police took the girl to Brady Middle School and advised her on the way to listen to her mother.

As one of the world's fastest growing economies, China is becoming a critical player in global business and a major cultural influence. In Transylvania's newest language program, students can develop Chinese conversational skills and practice reading and writing in the language, while learning more about the enchanting, enduring culture and its people.
Transylvania does not currently offer a major or minor in Chinese language. However, students interested in Chinese language and culture can minor in Asian studies.
China is the second largest economy in the world.
China is one of the largest trading partners of the United States.
Many U.S. companies do business in China and have long-term investments there. Business leaders are looking for people who can speak Chinese and operate successfully in a Chinese cultural context.
One-fifth of the planet speaks Chinese. Mandarin Chinese is the mother tongue of over 873 million people. It is spoken by over 1 billion people around the world, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world.
In addition to the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, Mandarin Chinese is also spoken in the important and influential Chinese communities of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, and Mongolia.
A large number of the key terms of Mandarin Chinese (such as the terms for state, health, science, party, inflation, and even literature) have been formed as translations of English concepts.
The basic word order of Chinese is subject–verb–object, exactly as in English.
Chinese has a relatively uncomplicated grammar. Unlike French, German, Spanish, or English, Chinese has:

Even though I am not their biggest fan, I still felt like Van Halen deserved much better than this effort.
If you're an obsessed Guitar Hero junkie like me, you probably have a list of bands you're hoping Activision will turn to for standalone Guitar Hero titles. Slayer, The Pixies, and Led Zeppelin are among many others that top mine own personal wishlist; Van Halen, on the other hand, isn't. I'm not a particularly big fan of their music and I was disappointed that they were chosen over bands more worthy and deserving. That didn't stop me from squeezing a few cheap thrills out of their standalone expansion, but the slapdash effort did little justice to Van Halen's music.
What's most disappointing about Guitar Hero: Van Halen is that you play as the older, present-day version of the band members for most of the game. Rather than reveling in the big hair, tight neon spandex, and over-the-top guitar showmanship of the band in their prime, the game forces you to play as the aging rock dinosaurs of today. It isn't until the last tier of songs that you finally get to play as the band in their full cheesy old school glory and beating the game does unlock the classic version but that's a feature that should have been available from the start.
The lackluster presentation also makes the game feel more like a glorified track pack than a true homage to a band once known for some smokin' guitar rock hits. GH: Metallica were both loaded with animated scenes offering story tidbits about the bands, some historical info on their musical careers, and other cool extra goodies for hardcore fans. You don't really find much of that at all in GH: Van Halen. There's a stock Van Halen-themed loading screen, some authentically designs arenas to rock in, a smattering of lame pop-up video trivia, lyrics sheets, and a cute mini-game where you play some of Eddie Van Halen's signature guitar licks but it doesn't do a good job of archiving the band's history. The barebones presentation really hurts the game and the opportunity to showcase Van Halen's place in music history was wasted.
But the music is spot-on at least. Of the 45 songs included, 25 are Van Halen cuts and they will definitely give veteran players some finger cramps on Expert. Unfortunately, the remainder of track list is padded by songs from random bands like The Offspring, Third Eye Blind, and YellowCard who don't fit the overall theme of the game. In fact, an overall lack of cohesiveness is a common theme throughout the game and you can't help but wonder what the point of it all was. Activision mailed out a free early copy of the game to people who pre-ordered Guitar Hero 5 a few months before the street date and it feels like they rushed Guitar Hero: Van Halen in order to use it as a freebie. That's unfortunate because those extra months clearly would have been much better spent putting enough polish to do the source material justice. Even though I am not their biggest fan, I still felt like the band deserved much better than this half-arsed effort.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Football is a game where ordinary men who happen to have the ability to kick a ball are showered with praise, global adulation and grotesque quantities of cash. Inevitably, this kind of lifestyle is going to lead to some diva-style behaviour.

Lennon: Kayal's my top boy
Comeback king: Celtic's Biram Kayal (left) got the better of Lee McCulloch in his first Old Firm derby at Ibrox
Neil Lennon, the Celtic manager, praised Israel midfield Biram Kayal following his match-winning display in his first Old firm derby.
The former Maccabi Haifa player had endured an injury-ravaged start to his career in Scotland since signing in July but produced a tigerish display in midfield in the 2-0 win over Rangers at Ibrox.
Lennon said: "He did exactly what we thought he was capable of. We brought him here because he is good at breaking the play up and strong in the tackle.
"I thought he did that brilliantly. He was a bit rusty to start off with, which is understandable given the length of time he was out for. But once he found a foothold in the game he was absolutely magnificent.
"We haven't had a player like that for a while, especially away from home, who can dig in, break play up and put his foot on the ball. He did that well."
This was the greatest match of my career
Kayal, 22, enjoyed the pressure-cooker atmosphere in front of a packed house in his first start in almost three months.
"I've been in some great games in the Champions League but this was the best of all. It was a dream. Until you've experienced such a game you don't know how huge this derby is. I'm happy about the victory, especially because this was my first derby. This was without doubt the greatest and most enjoyable match of my career."
Speaking before the midweek game at Hamilton, he said: "This victory was very important for us and our season. We are going for the title and it gives us a great psychological boost."
Kayal also spoke about his frustrations recovering from surgery. "I was out for 70 days and it was very hard. You are away from the team and every day you are working hard from nine to five to get fit and healthy again. It is very difficult when you are in a foreign country and don't have the support of your family and friends."
The Bhoys recently bolstered their squad with the addition of Freddie Ljungberg. Kayal is relishing the prospect of linking up with the Swedish star. "I used to love watching him play for Arsenal when I was a kid. It will be an honour and privilege to play with him."

Bidding on the leathers begins at $1,500. All bids – in confidence – can be emailed to: firstname.lastname@example.com The entire amount of the winning bid will be donated to the American Red Cross and earmarked for "Hurricane Katrina relief."
"My heart truly goes out to the people affected by this recent natural disaster," said Carr. "I've been in shock sitting her and reading the paper, watching the images on TV – feeling all along I had to do something. So I've decided to donate my '04 championship Ford Quality Checked team race leathers – the same ones I wore when I clinched the title – to the American Red Cross relief efforts going on in the areas that were most affected by Hurricane Katrina. Again, from my heart, I have got to know a lot of motorcycle people that live in the south, many of whom are big fans of flat track, and this is a way that I can give back to them in a time of need."
As for his racing, Carr enters this weekend's Springfield Short Track and Mile doubleheader with a 15-point lead (192-177) over rival Kenny Coolbeth, despite crashing this past race at Sedalia, Mo. Carr's done the math and says that if he can come out of Springfield nine points ahead of Coolbeth, it's all over.
"If I gain nine points on Kenny this weekend, in any combination of finishes, I'll have a 23-point lead going into Du Quoin, and I would win the tie-breaker," said Carr.
But the AMA's tightest premier division series points chase of the summer will be tricky for Carr this weekend as he has to jump from a short track to the mile this weekend at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. Nonplussed, Carr feels he's at his best when the pressure's on – like it will certainly be this weekend.
"Everybody wants to see a close points chase, and I feel dirt track has given that to its fans better than any other AMA property this summer," said Carr. "I hope to break it open this weekend and clinch it."
Carr will have to open with, admittedly, his weakest flat track event – short track. Though he says that his longtime mechanic, Kenny Tolbert, has a more difficult task ahead of him than Carr feels he does.
"If anything, this weekend's races are harder on the crews, the crew chiefs and mechanics," said Carr. "We riders get to do the fun part."
The contrast of this weekend's races is like no other in AMA racing. In a four wheel perspective it's almost like going from a go-kart race to running a NASCAR Cup race the next evening. But for the veteran Carr it's just a matter of, as he says, "Flipping the switch."
"When it's time to go, it's time to go," said Carr. "It's not difficult for me or the other riders in the series. Our systems are trained to race and that's what we do."

BOSTON – KC Fussell, of Monson, a junior and political science major at Amherst College, showed leadership very quickly among his fellow interns on Beacon Hill this summer.
Fussell had the honor of acting as a student host to introduce Joe Bellil, vice president of public affairs for Easter Seals Massachusetts, as part of the 2013 Legislative Interns' Summer Speaker Series in late July.
Since mid-June, Fussell has been interning for state Sen. Stephen M. Brewer, D-Barre, chairman of the Senate Committee on Ways & Means, who represents the Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire and Middlesex County Senate District.
After discovering his affinity for politics and government early in his high school career, Fussell has been focusing on his political and governmental interests. While pursuing his academic interests, he was looking for an opportunity for first-hand government experience as his second year of college came to a close.
Having met Brewer at his high-school graduation less than two weeks after his hometown of Monson was struck by the June 1, 2011, tornado, Fussell thought of his senator while looking for opportunities for government experience. As a legislative intern, he has composed bill summaries, worked with constituent issue groups, and attended committee hearings.
"What I enjoy about working in the Statehouse as an intern is that I get to take part in, observe, and experience activities in the Statehouse that I never would be able to learn about had I not been given this opportunity. In addition to the quality of the activities I have taken part in while at the Statehouse, the quality of the people I come in contact with on a daily basis is truly outstanding. Everyone I have worked with from long term staff to summer interns are remarkable people," said Fussell.
"I have greatly appreciated the work KC has been doing in our office. He has brought a great attitude of enthusiasm and dedication to every project he has undertaken. I am very grateful for all his work, he has been a great help to everyone in our office," said Brewer.
The speaker series, sponsored by the Legislative Education Office, gives high school and college students interning in the Statehouse the opportunity to hear members of state government, Beacon Hill professionals, public sector employees, and staff talk about their roles in the legislative process. As a student host, Fussell presented a brief biography on guest speaker Bellil to his fellow interns and several state government staff members.

To the editor:
I just finished reading the excellent article that Marsha Stanley of AdkAction.org wrote for the Adirondack Daily Enterprise about the serious decline in monarch butterflies. It was very informative. I particularly enjoyed it as it brought back memories of the times when my third-grade classes studied the life cycle of the monarch. At the beginning of each school year we would head out on a hunt to find a few eggs that had been laid on milkweed in order to perform our classroom experiments. And each year, here in Connecticut, it became more and more difficult to find milkweed plants.
Over the years, I have also noticed the decline in the numbers of milkweed plants in the Adirondacks and particularly as I walked along Panther Mountain Road in Coreys. They used to flourish everywhere on both sides of that road.
Getting this information out to the public is key, and reaching out to schools sounds like a great way to start. The article listed so many ways to help restore their population. I hope that this movement catches on. I'll be looking for those seed packets when I travel back to the Tri-Lakes area this spring so I can begin to help.
This effort also reminds me of the lovely children's book, "Miss Rumphius," by Barbara Cooney. Miss Rumphius, as a child, was taught by her grandfather to make the world a more beautiful place. So when she grew up she scattered lupine seeds wherever she went, thereby beautifying the New England countryside. Hopefully the results of this AdkAction initiative that you have published will not only beautify our area, but will help restore this fragile monarch population.

DiNapoli's Office Completes Audit of the Village Of Celoron
New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced his office completed the audit: Village of Celoron – Controls Over Cash Disbursements.
"As Comptroller, I'm committed to using the audit process to make sure state and local governments run as efficiently as possible," DiNapoli said. "These audits are tools governments should use to better protect taxpayer dollars. The Village of Celoron failed to establish effective internal controls over its cash disbursements. This is not good for the town or its taxpayers. The village should implement policies and procedures to ensure payments are supported and the use of village credit cards is controlled."
DiNapoli's auditors found that the board did not have cash disbursement, claims processing or credit card policies in place. Further, written procedures had not been established to address these functions. Claims for payment should include the original invoices submitted by vendors for goods or services furnished to the village. Auditors from DiNapoli's office found evidence of approval in the board minutes and noted that board members had signed individual claims as part of the audit process.
However, several board members indicated that although they audit and approve claims prior to payment, the process has not routinely been as thorough as it should be. In addition, village officials could not account for several items, totaling $1,615, that were purchased with the credit cards prior to April 2009. These items included a laptop computer, wireless router, income tax periodicals, a wellness planner and flashlights.

Local volunteers and Hudson County Board of Elections poll workers said voter turnout for the special election for state senator was dismal this afternoon in Union City.
"This is the least I've ever seen," said Yeuris Taveras, 28, who has volunteered at Union City polls since last year. "It's like ten people per hour. That's pretty bad."
Cory Booker, the Democratic Newark mayor, Steve Lonegan, a Republican former mayor of Bogota, and several independent candidates are vying to fill the unfinished term of Frank Lautenberg, who died in June. The polls close at 8 p.m.
As of 4:20 p.m., 161 Union City residents in Districts 2 and 3 of Ward 4 had cast their votes at Jose Marti School at 1800 Summit Avenue.
Theresa Padovano, who has volunteered at Union City polls for over ten years, said not many knew about the election.
"It wasn't really publicized," she said. "Nobody really knows about it." Taveras added that some local residents who came in to vote did not even know who was on the ballot.
Juan D. Rivera, 50, who has worked for the Hudson County Election Board since 1996, said voter turnout had been much better in past elections.
"Few people are coming out to vote today," he said. "Not many know there's a special election for senator."
Lilian Leng, a secretary who works in West New York, was one of the few voters at the school. Leng voted for Cory Booker.
"He looks like a nice man," she said. "He tries to speak Spanish."

Dog stands guard over deceased owner's grave for six years:
"Capitan, a German shepherd, reportedly ran away from home after its owner, Miguel Guzman, died in 2006. A week later, the Guzman family found the dog sitting by his grave in central Argentina.
Miguel Guzman adopted Capitan in 2005 as a gift for his teenage son, Damian. And for the past six years, Capitan has continued to stand guard at Miguel's grave. The family says the dog rarely leaves the site."
But this is what really gets me, along with the picture above:
"During the day he sometimes has a walk around the cemetery, but always rushes back to the grave. And every day, at six o'clock sharp, he lies down on top of the grave, stays there all night."
Man's best friend. Love.

FLINT, MI – Flint Emergency Manager Darnell Earley opened the doors of City Hall to the mayor's State of the City address Wednesday -- two days after Mayor Dayne Walling had left the building following the speech.
City officials sent out the order to news media on Thursday, March 6. As of early afternoon, the order had not been posted to the city's website with the rest of the orders.
The city did not say why the order was signed after the address. City officials sent out statements detailing the speech on Feb. 13 and on Feb. 28.
The last order posted to the city's website is from Jan. 31.
Earley declined comment through a city spokesperson on Thursday.

Seventh-ranked Newman cruised past No. 10 Archbishop Hannan, 7-1, Wednesday night in a Division III regional playoff match-up at Lupin Field.
Senior Tyler Edell and junior Kiley Ezell lead the Greenies charge with two goals each, ending the Hawks' first ever post-season playoff run.
The Greenies (15-5-0) beat the Hawks earlier in the season by a score of 2-1, but with their sights on advancing in the Division III playoffs, it came out tonight with a different strategy in mind.
"We put them away quick tonight, and that's the playoff plan," Edell said. "We had the discipline to come out strong and get the quick goals to put them down. Our season is on the line every game we play now, and that has made us step up in a lot of ways."
The Greenies wasted no time traveling in to Hawk territory, striking early with a one-on-one shot by Edell. Edell dribbled to the goal drawing Hannan's goalkeeper Emily Marcotte off her line, as Edell shot Marcotte slid backwards scissor-kicking the ball out of the goal coming up with an amazing save.
But the Hawks weren't so lucky the next time the Greenies marched down the field. Edell quickly created another opportunity for herself in the 3rd minute when received the ball on a break-away and shot high, lobbing the ball just out of Marcotte's reach to put the Greenies on the board, 1-0.
The Greenies struck again in the 16th minute when Anna Huger dribbled into the box launching a shot that ricocheted off a Hannan defender Taylor Bacas and went into the goal. Minutes later Ezzell scored her first solo goal of the night, beating the Hawks goalkeeper with a shot deep into left corner of the goal.
The Greenies continued to dominate the first half and the Hawks found it increasingly difficult to make it past mid-field. The Hawks made one short-lived trip into the Greenies territory in the 20th minute, shooting and missing. The Greenies' defense allowed the Hawks to cross md-field just three times in the first half and limited it to just one shot on goal.
Ezell scored her second goal of the night in the 26th minute on break-away to make it 3-0 Greenies.
In the 34th minute Edell tallied her second goal of the night off a beautifully played through ball, beating a diving Marcotte putting the Greenies up 4-0 headed into the intermission.
The Hawks tried to hit back in the second half with a more aggressive offensive strategy, crossing into Greenies territory three times early in the half. But the Hawks couldn't produce, missing three attempts on goal; shooting wide, straight to the keeper and off a Newman defender.
The Greenies would go on to score three more times in the second. Frances Sperling scored off an assist from Tyler Edell in the 45th minute. Sophie Andry scored in the 51st minute highlighted by a perfectly placed corner kick from Ezzell. Sasha Lasky scored in stoppage to give the Greenies an 8-1 advantage.
The Hawks' Katie Dittman was finally able to get one past the goalkeeper in the 70th minute, but it was too late to stop the Greenies.
"It was a great win for us tonight," Newman Coach Jen Kritch said. "I asked the girls to attack hard and early, and they did that scoring in the first five minutes of the game. We have been slow coming out of the gate in the past, but tonight I think we remedied that, and looking forward to the next game against our rival Sacred Heart."

Coach Tighes team faces tough state matchupUPDATED 6:47 PM CST Nov 22, 2013
One of Iowa's most winning coaches faces a team that has won its last 56 games.Video Transcript
THE GUY'S A LEGEND. THERE'S NO, YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT. Hundreds of high school coaches prowled the sidelines this fall-- But only one of them was coaching ten years BEFORE J-F-K was shot. The legend at St. Edmonds found himself in the middle of another milestone today- at the UNI- Dome, where Eric Hanson has the story. Making it to the state championship game is a big accomplishment no matter what community you're in. But especially when you're the folks in green at Fort Dodge St. Edmonds. BECAUSE IN THIS CROWD, SURE THEY'RE PULLING FOR THE TEENAGERS ON THE TURF-- Quick cheer nat? BUT THEY'RE ALSO DEEPLY INVESTED IN THE GRANDPA ON THE SIDELINES. Heck, he's almost like a grandpa to us too, the parents. DICK TIGHE'S BEEN A COACH FOUR TIMES LONGER THAN HIS PLAYERS HAVE BEEN ALIVE. In this state, he's a legend. IN A GAME YOU ONLY PLAY 9 OR 10 TIMES A YEAR, HE'S WON 413. THE MOST EVER IN IOWA. DADS'LL TELL YA' HIS LESSONS IN X'S AND O'S ARE ROCK SOLID. But he teaches so much more beyond that. And being true to themselves and just going out and giving your best effort. You don't have to be flashy, just go out and do the right thing whether it's on the field or off the field. Our kids just absolutely love playing for this guy. EVEN THOUGH HE'S 83 YEARS OLD. He's had a little trouble with his legs this year so he sits in a golf cart but he still has enthusiasm and energy he's always had. TO HIS TEAM IN THIS CHAMPIONSHI P GAME? It's special to them but it's very special to him. BECAUSE DESPITE 6 DECADES OF SUCCESS, HE'D NEVER LED HIS OWN TEAM TO THE TITLE GAME - UNTIL TODAY. It's a lot more fun to be down on the field playing games than up in the stands. We've had a lot of experience up there watching games. IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE COACH WHO HADN'T LOST A GAME ALL SEASON TO REALIZE TODAY WOULD BE DIFFERENT. Yeah, we just ran into a buzz saw. ASK WHETHER HE'LL BE BACK FOR SEASON 61 AND HE'LL JOKE-- I don't know. It's pretty early to say. I'd like to get home first. BUT EVEN HE ADMITS HE CAN'T IMAGINE SPENDING A FALL WITH A CUP OF COFFEE AND A LA-Z-BOY. He'll coach forever. ERIC HANSON, KCCI 8 NEWS, IOWA'S NEWS LEADER.

Capito co-chair of coal caucus
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito said colleagues from states that don't produce coal need to know the mineral's value in energy production and the economy.
Capito, R-Charleston, announced this week she again will serve as co-chair of the Congressional Coal Caucus for the 113th Congress, along with Reps. John Shimkus, R-Collinsville, Ill., and William Enyart, D-Belleville, Ill. Local Reps. David B. McKinley, R-Wheeling, and Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, Ohio, also are among the 65 members of the Congressional Coal Caucus.
"We are really about trying to educate other members about coal and the vital uses of coal – not just as an energy source, but its role in our economy. They also need to see there are jobs from other industries that are related to the coal," Capito said, citing the electric and rail industries. "You form a caucus to make your voices louder and stronger."
The caucus plans to call in expert witnesses to give presentations to members and their staffs, she continued.
"We find it is useful to talk about the economic implications and security issues involving coal and how it contributes to our energy and manufacturing base," Capito said. "Some people don't have states that mine coal – and for them, coal has taken on a negative connotation. We have to educate people about the power of coal."
She sees the caucus as "a rapid response team" poised to fight if needed against stricter regulation of the coal industry and coal-fired power plants.
"We have to play offense in terms of providing scientific-based education," Capito said. "At the same time, we have to play defense and make sure policies moving forward are not damaging to coal areas or states."

Turn "Three's A Crowd" Into "Three's A Party" With These Simple Rules
Threesomes are not like regular sex — they require both imagination and sensitivity. If you plan on having a threesome, you need to go into the situation with some idea of what you're going to be doing, you need some threesome rules.
Understanding these basic threesome rules will help you avoid some common mistakes that typically prevent you from getting the most out of your ménage à trois. There are various types of threesomes that you can enjoy, but we're betting that you're hoping for the type with two women, one of whom is likely your bisexual or bi-curious girlfriend or wife. What follows are the basic threesome rules on how to handle such a delectable, and potentially sticky, sexual situation.
You're going to have sex with two women and all three of you have your own rules and limits, so understanding and respecting one another's comfort levels should be a top priority when you're establishing your threesome rules.
Rule No. 1 - Establish the rules
Because your relationship with your woman will likely be affected by this new experience, you need to be absolutely clear on which acts she's comfortable with — and what to avoid doing — in advance. She may tell you that she's uncomfortable with the idea of you penetrating another woman or even pleasing another woman orally.
You must respect her limits. Remember that each woman may suddenly feel jealous, so try your best not to shut either woman out and always give more attention to the woman with whom you have a relationship — this is an extremely important threesome rule.
As well, you may end up feeling jealous if you're not the center of attention. Just keep in mind that the object of the game is to share sex between three people.
Also, remember that although some people try to drink their way to bravery for a threesome, drunken sex usually ends up being bad sex. If you want to have a cocktail or two to loosen up, that's fine, but no more. You want to be at peak performance.
Rule No. 2 - Be as giving as you canAlthough you may be hoping that the two women will give you 100% of their attention, the truth is that they're there to please each other just as much as they're there to please you. You may end up feeling ignored and should do your best to get over it. The best way to approach this situation, and an important threesome rule to follow, is to forget your feelings for a moment and try to be as generous with your hands and mouth as you can.
Pleasure in one-on-one sex goes back and forth, but in a threesome it's more of a cycle that moves from person to person. So be patient; focus on turning both women on and the attention will come back to you.
Whatever pleasure you get in a threesome is a treat, so instead of expecting anything in particular (like getting oral sex from both women at once), enjoy everything that comes your way.
Keeping your hands moving and knowing when to penetrate are important threesome rules...

"Managing the portfolio and ensuring that IT is aligned with the business—that's absolutely critical. We need to ensure we're prioritizing properly alongside the business."
CIOs must effectively manage IT delivery to achieve corporate strategies and goals. It's a complex job that requires understanding key business drivers, investing in the right IT initiatives, managing service quality, and maintaining a lean cost structure to be competitive in the marketplace.
Senior executives and CIOs need the right IT governance processes and tools in place to be able to answer questions such as:
Daptiv for IT Governance offers end-to-end IT governance capabilities so IT can be managed as a business. Daptiv enables a structured approach to managing IT portfolios, including formulating strategy and business priorities, monitoring implementation of project portfolio investments, and managing operational and financial aspects of IT.
Daptiv for IT Governance provides the following capabilities:
The first step in managing IT demand is to aggregate and understand all incoming work, including projects, enhancements and non-project work. Daptiv provides a best-practice project scoring model to allow quick evaluation without suffering "paralysis by analysis". Portfolio optimization tools and scoring bubble charts allow the PMO to prioritize and shape the incoming demand in alignment with corporate goals and objectives.
A prioritized list of IT investments needs to be mapped to the available resource capacity to prevent resource contention. Non-project demand for ongoing operations are planned using workspaces for pre-allocation and time tracking, revealing true availability for project work. Capacity planning reports quickly identify capacity overloads, while the capacity planner application provides what-if analysis, allowing PMO's to answer "when", and not just "if" a project can start.
Daptiv starts with capacity planning, but then provides allocation tools, including Team Manager and Resource Allocation reports, to help resource managers with allocation decisions. Project managers then assign these resources to individual tasks, and users log their time using Daptiv's web-based timesheets. Daptiv provides views and reports to roll up allocated, task, and actual time to provide visibility and decision support to all levels of management.
Daptiv tracks project portfolios, application portfolios, service portfolios and more. Portfolio components, including projects, operations, service catalog items and requests and application attributes, can be assigned and tracked in multiple portfolios. Dashboards show traditional project portfolio status, as well as reports to show how all work, including ongoing operations, breaks out by configurable attributes like Business Unit and Investment Class.
What's IT's value to the enterprise? Daptiv provides executives with insight into this question using several elements. Benefits scoring and tracking shows the value of projects, including non-financial benefits, on an apples-to-apples basis. Service portfolios roll up this and other data into business-oriented capabilities. Application technical and business value is tracked using application value and reported in reports targeted for a variety of audiences.
Manage project execution for multiple project methodologies, including waterfall, iterative, business process improvement, Agile, Six Sigma and more. Roll all project types up into unified portfolios. Daptiv's project templates allow customers to provide pre-defined tasks, documents, and artifacts for each methodology—giving the project manager everything they need to get started.
Agile is now a mainstream methodology for software development in IT. Agile status data including all stories and their status can be viewed in Daptiv workspaces and project-level status indicators are automatically calculated. Agile project status is used in project status reports and burn-up charts. Agile data is then rolled into the portfolio reports to provide for a comprehensive project portfolio of all project types.
Material expenses and labor costs need to be budgeted, tracked, and adjusted during the life of a project. Daptiv tracks planned and actual expenses or a more sophisticated three-tiered model can be used for tracking capital orders, purchase orders, and invoices. Labor cost estimates and actual costs are calculated using Daptiv's built-in labor rate functionality and combined with material expenses for a complete picture of project finances.
Visibility into application inventory, let alone making upgrade and sunset decisions, is a challenge for most IT organizations. Daptiv provides specialized workspaces to create or import comprehensive application lists. Business and technical value are evaluated, and performance and incident data are imported through Daptiv Connect. Bubble-charts and application portfolio dashboards and reports allow IT executives and architects to evaluate the entire portfolio and make appropriate decisions.
While IT manages applications and hardware, business thinks in terms of services like "communications" and "financial transaction processing". Daptiv provides business-termed capability workspaces as a container for defining and controlling business services. These capabilities roll up into higher level service portfolios. Applications, projects, and non-project workspaces are all tagged with capabilities to provide for advanced service portfolio management.

at 'Next Top Model' show
Tyra Banks has pretty much blown up her show, "America's Next Top Model," firing her co-stars/judges, including J. Alexander, Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker.
Alexander, Manuel and Barker had been with the show since it started on UPN in 2003.
Alexander, the runway coach, served as a judge from 2005-2009. Barker, a photographer, has been on the panel since 2004, and Manuel served as the photo shoot director since the series began.
The show has had its lowest ratings the last two seasons, which certainly had some -- OK, a lot -- to do with the changes, which not everyone took all that well.
"Good luck to whoever (replaces me). I would imagine it's a tricky thing to replace someone who's going on their 19th season," Barker said. "Who knows if this is going to work? I don't necessarily think it's a good idea. ... Maybe it will work. Maybe it won't. I wish them luck."
'Pregnant' man separates
from his wife of nine years
Thomas Beatie, who was living in Bend when he gained a fame of sorts by becoming the world's first known legal man to give birth (something he has done two more times), has split from Nancy, his wife of nine years.
Thomas Beatie revealed the breakup with Nancy during a taping of the syndicated TV show "The Doctors" in which he also said he had undergone a final female-to-male gender reassignment surgery, unnecessarily pointing out that Nancy "hasn't seen the new me yet."
Thomas Beatie began life as a woman and legally switched to a male identity, while preserving his female reproductive organs. He made headlines in 2007 when he gave birth to a child and the couple eventually moved from Bend to Arizona.
in drink-tossing incident
It's hard to tell how much -- if any -- trouble Lindsay Lohan is in this time.
LiLo, who for some reason thought going to the nightclub at The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood was a good idea Wednesday night, either threw a drink at another club-goer or had a drink thrown at her, depending on who you choose to believe.
One witness, who happens to be a friend of the non-Lohan person involved, said Lohan threw a drink when the other person said, "You go clubbing with your dad?"
But another witness, in this case the dad, Michael Lohan, said not only did his daughter refrain from any libation-hurling, but that she was actually the one who wound up all wet.
At this point, police would love to talk to the principals, but no charges have been filed.
'I Am Legend' director gets
sequel of 'Hunger Games'
Francis Lawrence, who directed "I Am Legend" and "Water for Elephants," will direct "Catching Fire," the second film in the "Hunger Games" film franchise.
Also being considered to replace Gary Ross, who did the first movie but wasn't interested in doing the sequel, were Bennett Miller ("Moneyball"), David Cronenberg (also known as the Baron of Blood, seriously, so an unusual choice) and Alfonso Cuaron ("Y Tu Mama Tambien," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban").
Miller's desire to make "Foxcatcher," a passion project of sorts for the director, may have been the deciding factor. "Foxcatcher" may begin production in December, which would have put Miller in a bit of a scheduling pinch because "Catching Fire" is set to start filming in the fall.
Disney executive Rich Ross
The mega-flop that was "John Carter" has claimed a high-profile victim, with Disney movie studio boss Rich Ross stepping down.
Ross had the top job for 2 1/2 years, charged with cutting costs and developing hits.
And he didn't accomplish either, with the loss from "John Carter," estimated to be as high as $200 million, the very expensive last straw.
"The best people need to be in the right jobs, in roles they are passionate about, doing work that leverages the full range of their abilities," Ross said. "I no longer believe the chairman role is the right professional fit for me."

As the Portland Timbers continue their preseason tournament tonight against Portmore United, a Jamaican club, nobody would blame fans for being nervous. The 2013 season was close to perfect. "Now, the Timbers will have a massive target on their back each time they take the field," says John Strong, NBC Sports' lead Major League Soccer announcer.
The team made the MLS playoffs for the first time, after two years of disappointment. It went from blowing leads to mastering comebacks. New coach Caleb Porter's possession-oriented game plan got a lot of the credit for the team's turnaround. "It's easy on the eye," ESPN soccer columnist Jeff Carlisle says. âAnd you like to see that kind of style rewarded.â
If the Timbers thrive this year, the team's early struggles will be regarded as merely a teething period. If they flounder, though, Porter's first season will seem a fluke.
Here are some factors that could decide which storyline plays out this season.
Three reasons the Timbers could be even better this year:
No World Cup players.
The World Cup comes around every four years and vacuums the biggest stars out of MLS, then spits them back out a month later, exhausted and unfocused. This year, each of the major contenders for the title will lose a key man to the cup, except Portland. In both of the past two World Cup years, the MLS Cup winner's players logged zero World Cup minutes.
Two team newcomers can pass.
Portland has signed players who fit into Porter's passing-centered approach. In the preseason, two players signed from Argentina—striker Gastón Fernández from Estudiantes and center back Norberto Paparatto from Tigre—stood out for their shrewd passing. Both told reporters they signed with Portland because Porter sold them on the Timbers' style. "He talked to me about his style of play," Paparatto told MLS's website Jan. 28. "I was very much interested in the opportunity to come and play for him."
Darlington Nagbe could be improved.
MLS named Nagbe the best young player in the league last year, and it's easy to see why. The 23-year-old Liberian's squat, powerful build allows him to take the ball past players at will, and his shooting and passing are deadly. Thing is, he still thinks he has room to improve. "I feel like my possession game is good, but I could be more dangerous and take more chances, take more risks," he told the MLS website.
Three questions the team still needs to answer:
What's behind the Great Wall?
Last season, the central defensive partnership of Mamadou "Futty" Danso and Pa Modou Kah earned them the nickname "the Great Wall of Gambia," although ESPN'S Carlisle thinks one reason they were so impressive is that Portland's ball control masked their deficiencies. Both are over 30, old for soccer. Nevertheless, the Timbers got rid of three center backs in the offseason, signing only Paparatto. That puts the Timbers a couple of injuries from desperation.
Can Fernández and Diego Valeri connect?
MLS has a history of success with insouciant, creative players from Argentina. Valeri led the Timbers in goals and assists in 2013, making him the latest superstar in that mold. But with Valeri absent in the preseason, Fernández took his spot as the team's playmaker and looked like a natural. Much will depend whether they can strike up a relationship—or just get in one another's way.
Will team doctors see more of Steve Zakuani than the Timbers Army does?
The Timbers gambled when they signed Zakuani from Seattle in the offseason. He might not be the same player who scored 10 goals in his first season with the Sounders. A Colorado Rapids player shattered Zakuani's leg in 2011, and since then the Timbers' acquisition has spent more time on the injured list than on the soccer field. "If he's back, what an awesome addition," Strong says. "If not, they have plenty of other quality players at his position."

Defining "News photographer" for the future
London, England
By Russell Boyce
During recent photography workshops we have been running, many of those attending described themselves as "a professional photographer working in the news business" while others described themselves as "photojournalists". The title "Photojournalist" is an occasionally abused title but for those professionals who are attending our courses who communicate their picture stories to a sophisticated audience I think it's quite fair for them to describe themselves as a photojournalist.

Dwight Howard is now a member of the Houston Rockets—this we know.
What's not as highly publicized are all the reasons he left the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most storied franchises in all of professional sports.
Despite the allure of L.A., the chance of future championships with Kobe Bryant, and the team looking at substantial cap room after the following season, Howard spurned the Lakers for H-town.
So, why did D12 do this to a team as attractive as the Lakers and join a Rockets team that hasn't won a title in almost 20 years?
Let's take a look.
