Objective: To compare long-term functional outcome trajectories of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who survive with those who expire more than 5 years postinjury, using individual growth curve analysis.
Design: Secondary analysis of data from a multicenter longitudinal cohort study.
Setting: Acute inpatient rehabilitation facilities that are current or former TBI Model Systems.
Participants: Individuals 16 years and older with a primary diagnosis of TBI.
Main Outcome Measures: Glasgow Outcome Scale–Extended; Disability Rating Scale.
Results: Individuals in the TBI Model Systems who expire several years after injury demonstrate worse functional status at baseline and a steeper rate of decline over time as measured by both the Glasgow Outcome Scale–Extended and the Disability Rating Scale. There was significant variability in each growth parameter (P < .05) for both instruments. A reduced model was built for each outcome, including all covariates that related significantly to the growth parameters. An interactive tool was created for each outcome to generate individual-level trajectories based on various combinations of covariate values.
Conclusion: Individuals with TBI who die several years after injury demonstrate functional trajectories that differ markedly from those of survivors. Opportunities should be sought for health management interventions to improve health and longevity after TBI.

FLINT, Michigan — A jury on Friday found Dantrell D. Conerly not guilty on all counts in the 2005 shooting death of Bar'Ontay Bradshaw, according to Genesee Circuit Judge Geoffrey L. Neithercut's office.
A hunter found Bar'Ontay's body after the 16-year-old had been missing for nearly six weeks.
The jury acquitted Conerly of first-degree murder, armed robbery and felony charges.
Defense attorney Frank J. Manley said the jury couldn't rely on testimony in the case from of Conerly's father, a convicted felon who testified against his son.
"There was no physical evidence," Manley said. "No fingerprints, no DNA, no hair fibers. They never found a weapon. They never produced any physical evidence whatsoever... The defendant's father testified against him and we were able to show the jury that his testimony should not be believed."
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton acknowledged the shortcomings of the witness.
"The jury complimented our efforts but were not impressed with the key witness who was the father of the defendant and himself a convicted felon," Leyton said in an email. "Unfortunately, we can't choose our witnesses."
Conerly spent two years in jail awaiting trial.
"He was very gratified that this ordeal was over," Manley said.
But Conerly isn't yet a free man. He remains lodged in Genesee County Jail, facing a separate charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
A pre-trial hearing in that case is scheduled for Friday in Neithercut's courtroom.

SALEM, IN, Sept. 26 – Season championships will be on the line when racing returns to Salem Speedway on Sunday afternoon, October 2nd.
The Scott County Visitors Commission Season Championship event marks the final points race of the year for all four Salem Speedway divisions – Lucas Oil Super Stocks, Dave & Deb's Winner's Circle Great American Stocks, Global Assembly Pure Stocks and Six Sigma Front Wheel Drive Stocks.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The school system's policy on the distribution of religious information is very clear.
It is not allowed.
However, the practice has apparently been different than the policy and attorney Eric Farris is concerned that would open the district up to possible litigation.
On Tuesday, a policy was presented - and rejected - to school board members that would allow the distribution of material at the middle and high schools but not at the elementary school level.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Mount Washington Elementary kindergartner Ryan Robertson, 5, doesn't have a pilot's license, but with a remote control in his hands he can fly a helicopter just like a pro.
Since he was 3 years old Ryan has immersed himself in the world of RC helicopters, spending at least two hours a day practicing maneuvers.
"As soon as he gets off the school bus it's the first thing he does," said Ryan's dad, Todd Robertson.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - If the Bullitt County Public School Board follows a recommendation from its superintendent, property owners will be paying a little more on their tax bills in October.
With state funding shrinking, superintendent Keith Davis will recommend that the board accept an increase in the real property tax from 55.2 cents per $100 of assessed value to 57.6 cents.
On a $100,000 home, the increase would be $24.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Taxpayers in Bullitt County won't have to worry about paying increased rates when bills are delivered next month.
However, that decision to keep the real property tax rates the same will result in the county receiving $181,000 less revenue in the coming year.
Bullitt Fiscal Court members unanimously agreed to keep the real property tax rate at 9.3 cents per $1,000 of assessed property. On a $100,000 home, the county would receive $93 in taxes.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Residents of Lakes of Dogwood are not unique.
But they are the latest in a series of complaints over the years about issues such as vandalism and thefts.
Much of the blame over the years has been pointed at juveniles who are running the streets of Shepherdsville at all hours of the night.
With that in mind, Shepherdsville city attorney Joseph Wantland was given the task of looking at past ordinances and developing a new one which would include a curfew for juveniles.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Thanks to some extra money sent down from Frankfort, several county streets will be resurfaced.
LEBANON JUNCTION - A much awaited and much needed water main project will soon be underway in Lebanon Junction.
CLERMONT - "In the spring of 2008, we discovered that there was going to be an addition to our family and that Camden was going to be a big brother. We were shocked at the first ultrasound to find that I was carrying twins!" said Debbie Crowe.
Ambitious, well-prepared and mature students with a strong interest in a skilled trade apply to attend the CRC (Career Readiness Center). 30 ninth graders and 30 sophomores were accepted for the 2011-2012 school year.

At AERA and AEC we are dedicated to making this our best year ever. We resolve to spend this year analyzing all of our departments, protocols and equipment and making whatever changes are necessary to ensure that we are offering the best possible care for our patients and clients, while providing the best possible work environment for our employees.
On a personal note, many of us (along with most of the country) are a little uncomfortable with the weight gain that occurred due to holiday indulgences and are resolving to lose weight and get into better shape. Please consider including your pets in that resolution.
Obesity is a major cause of health problems in dogs and cats today. As easy as it is to want to indulge that wagging tail and those pleading eyes that assure you they are starving, our job as responsible pet guardians is to do the right thing for our pets. Extra weight places extra stress on all the organs of the body leading to a variety of diseases and also causes injury to joints and ligaments. Ultimately those extra pounds will result in decreased quality of life and a shorter lifespan for your pets.
Did you know that an extra 5 pounds of weight on your cat could be equivalent to you being more than 60 pounds overweight?
Did you know that feeding one small cookie to your dog could be the equivalent of feeding an entire hamburger to a human?
We all know that portion control, healthy food choices and exercise are the way to go for ourselves. The same principles hold true for your pet! You can find an enormous amount of information on how to transform your pet and add years on to their lives, as well as read some great success stories at Hills Weight Management.
On the Hills site you will find lots of helpful information such as....
- How to determine if your pet is a healthy weight or needs help
- How to get started reducing down your pets weight in a safe manner
- Games and exercises you and your dog (or cat) can do together for fun and fitness

You were telling me about the parade that used to happen in Overtown. Tell me about the parade.
Yeah, we used to have a parade, ah, FAM-U. At the time it was FAM-C. And, ah, they would come down, just before they're big game. You'd have the big, ah, Orange Blossom Classic as such. I mean and it was literally, ah, a weekend of excitement. Everyone would get up for it. I mean, ah, all the students came back and we usually had Blacks coming from all the country to come to this game.
Let me stop you right there. Our audience will not know what FAM-U is. So, when you say FAM-U, say Florida, A&M University. Start again.
Yes, we used to have a parade, ah, for Florida AM, University.--
Go ahead.
We used to have a parade, ah, just before Florida A&M University's big game each year called the Orange Blossom Classic. And it was really a major event in this community. I mean, ah, Blacks came from all over the country to see this game. Ah, it was just a, business was just alive, ah, all the businesses made a lot of money because they had, the restaurants were all active and hotels were, were filled with guests and, ah, I mean it was a very exciting time in the community. And it was a tradition each year, ah, it was during the time that Miami was segregated and the main was occurred. So we had the Orange Bowl Stadium would be, ah, really at two sides. I mean one side would be Whites and the other sides would Blacks. I mean, but, it had a larger, quite a White audience during the segregation than it does now. I mean it was just a major event in this city.

The school must vacate 21 football victories from 2005, 2006 and part of 2007.
On June 11, 2009, Alabama was sanctioned, fined $43,900 and placed on probation in 16 sports. Six days later, it announced that it would appeal the vacation of records penalty.
Up to 201 Alabama student-athletes were found in violation of received impermissible benefits by obtaining textbooks for themselves or their friends to which they weren't entitled. An internal investigation identified 22 student-athletes -- including seven football players -- as "intentional wrongdoers."
Other appeals considered recently by the NCAA have been denied.
In its original ruling, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions claimed Alabama's "abysmal" and unprecedented history of so many infractions cases justified vacating records.
Alabama countered in a written rebuttal that such statements were "overreaching." Alabama argued there is no NCAA bylaw or precedent that allows victories to be vacated as a result of being a "serial repeat violator, as the Committee on Infractions described the school.
Alabama was 10-2 in the 2005 football season, including a Cotton Bowl victory over Texas Tech. It was 6-7 in 2006 in the final season under coach Mike Shula. The first five victories in a 7-6 season in 2007 -- coach Nick Saban's first year at Alabama -- must be vacated because players who were ruled ineligible participated.
In addition to football, the vacation of records penalty affected the Alabama men's tennis and men's and women's track and field programs.

Here is the novel that admirers of Charles Baxter's earlier work, the luminous novel First Light and his many award-winning stories, have been waiting for. Calling on his gift for revealing the unexpected dangers just below the surface of ordinary life, he focuses now on the Michigan town of Five Oaks and that precarious border where personal love and social responsibility intersect. At the center of Shadow Play is a Faustian contract made when Wyatt Palmer, the young assistant city manager of Five Oaks, meets up with a former classmate, Jerry Schwartzwalder, an ominous modern version of the devil. Now rich, Schwartzwalder presents a business deal too good for Wyatt to refuse: he will bring a chemical plant to the economically depressed area, but the town must look the other way if a few people are hurt in the bargain. The deal is made and the town prospers, but soon a sacrifice, personally devastating and unsuspected, is required. Wyatt, now desperate, becomes a dark force himself. In breaking free of his part of the deal, he moves toward an act of violence that brings the novel to an almost unbearable pitch. Wyatt's own narrative counterpoints the lives of the people around him. There's his wife, Susan, an expert in magic and balance; Cyril, his ne'er-do-well cousin and his shadow self; and Alyse, the business colleague whose sexual irony attracts Wyatt. His drifty mother, Jeanne, with her secret language, aids him in shedding his old self. And, most important, there is Ellen, Wyatt's aunt, who has concluded that God, everywhere present but totally indifferent, watches us through pure curiosity - and who is writing her own Bible to prove it. Shadow Play goes to the heart of the moraland spiritual contracts being made everywhere in the name of comfort and prosperity. Heedlessness is here - in the human realm, toward nature, and even toward the objects we create and discard - but so is the possibility of transcendence. At novel's end, a state of mysterious joy

Hi there, I'm loading up my senior year schedule. At the end of the year (spring 2004) I'll for sure take 3 AP tests, and if I think I can handle it, I might end up taking another 2-3 more. However, by the time I take the APs, I'll have already been accepted to colleges, and have mailed in my letter of intent to whichever one i choose. Besides getting some college credit, does taking APs help get more scholarship money? What are the other benefits for taking the tests so late?

Voters could soon be required to show photo identification at the polls before casting their ballot on Election Day.
Two measures before the state House State Government Committee would require "proof of identification" through a government-issued drivers license or ID card (House Bill 934) or through a potential new voter registration card that contains a photo (House Bill 647).
Proponents at a hearing today said that showing ID would reduce voter fraud and ensure not only that the person voting is who he says, but also that no eligible vote is "stolen" by someone illegally voting in place of someone else.
Many people look for ways to "beat the system," but requiring photo ID to vote is one way to prevent that from happening, said Michael Bekesha, an attorney with Washington, D.C.-based Judicial Watch.
Opponents, however, said requiring photo ID puts a new burden on voters, especially the elderly, minorities, people with disabilities and those who live in urban settings and don't need a drivers license.
They also said that because the state would provide the IDs for free (to prevent the requirement from being considered a "poll tax"), the measures could cost the state as much as several million dollars. They cite costs to issue the ID cards, renew them and re-issue them when people move or change their name.

Tracking Hispanic Family History
Author: George Ryskamp
Editor's Note: The following has been excerpted from The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy, edited by Loretto D. Szucs and Sandra H. Luebking, Chapter 16, "Tracking Hispanic Family History," by George Ryskamp.
Hispanic immigration to the United States has been much more extensive than is generally recognized. Spaniards settled the Caribbean islands and Mexico more than a century before the English settled Jamestown in 1607. The earliest Hispanic settlers within the area of the United States were those who settled Saint Augustine, Florida, on the eastern end of the continent in 1565 and New Mexico, on the western end, in 1598. The Spanish colonial period represents only the beginning.
Immigration continues to this day as hundreds of thousands of Mexicans, Central Americans, and South Americans, as well as Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and others from the Caribbean islands continue to come to the United States. Many of them could ultimately trace their roots through those American countries to Spain. Others would find that their roots beyond those countries are not Spanish but Native American, French, German, Eastern European, Italian, African, and Portuguese. For just as the United States has been a melting pot, so have been the countries of Central and South America.
Before the end of the colonial period (around 1820), an estimated 12 million Spaniards emigrated, primarily to Mexico and Central and South America. The immigration that followed in the next century, however, was considerably greater. Of a total of 54 million people who emigrated from Europe to the American continents between 1820 and 1920, 20 million went to Latin America-primarily to Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and Uruguay. Large numbers of them came from Italy, Spain, and Portugal. The flow of immigration did not stop with the Great Depression. From 1946 to 1957, 1.75 million immigrants traveled to Latin America, primarily from Italy and Spain. Spanish immigration was not, of course, entirely to Latin America. Many Spanish, among them large numbers of Galicians, Basques, and Andalucians, went directly to the United States. Still others never reached the Americas and found themselves settling in Australia.
These immigration patterns are particularly interesting because immigration from South America to the United States continues to this day. From 1820 to 1906, approximately 20,000 legal immigrants arrived from South America, and from 1907 to 1926, 77,000 more arrived. It is estimated that from 1951 to 1975, 421,000 South Americans went to the United States. These numbers do not include the extensive immigration from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Central America. Mexico alone is estimated to have contributed, between 1900 and 1930, 2 to 3 million immigrants, half of whom entered the United States without documents. In the 1980s, Cubans, Salvadorans, and others fleeing from political oppression and civil war streamed across the border with the larger flow of others who came for economic reasons.
Often, a search for Hispanic ancestry leads ultimately to Spain, but it is equally likely that one, two, or more generations settled in the countries of Central America, South America, or the Caribbean. Some authorities include Portuguese within the Hispanic population. There have been extensive migrations from Portugal to Brazil and the Azores as well as to the United States.
Unless his or her Hispanic immigrant ancestors came within living memory, the greatest challenge to the family historian often is identifying the place of origin in the mother country. Fortunately, there are many good records available to Hispanics that can reveal such a place. Nothing is more exciting than a discovery that ancestry leads to Mexico or bridges the ocean back to Spain. Whether the mother country is Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, Spain, or another Latin American or European country, the types of records to be searched and the process of searching those records remain basically the same.
George R. Ryskamp, J.D., AG is associate professor of history at Brigham Young University, member of the Academia Americana de Genealogía, author of numerous books and articles, and international lecturer.

Everyone dreams of owning something giant, but few dream of owning a gumball machine. And yet when you put both dreams together you're left with one of the most ridiculously desirable items in the world.
No, your eyes do not deceive you; the little girl in the photo really is wearing a dress made from one of Barry Chuckle's old sweatshirts. But forget about fashion because the
Giant Gumball Machine
next to her is flipping enormous. At over
6.5ft tall and 3.5ft wide
, this truly awesome vending machine holds
(yes, 20,000!)
one-inch gumballs
, making it an attraction in its own right. Om-nom-nom!
Thanks to its
huge capacity
and jaw-dropping size, the
Giant Gumball Machine
will pay for itself in…well, it'll pay for itself sooner or later but we're too busy chewing jaw-exhausting gumballs to get the calculator out.
The point is, despite its considerable price tag, this humungous contraption is not as ludicrous a purchase as you/your financial advisor might think. Plonk one in your store, foyer or forecourt and customers will flock from miles around to see it in action. It's like Alice in Wonderland meets Willy Wonka by way of a reverse shrink gun accident at a cartoon carnival. Or something like that.
Speaking of action, punters won't have to wait around for their yummy gummy treats because the Giant Gumball Machine features an über efficient Beaver mechanism, an industry standard that will devour cash and deliver balls till the cows come home. Indeed the only thing you need to worry about is how best to heave home all that lovely loot.
Of course you could always buy the Giant Gumball Machine for non-commercial purposes and stick it in your undoubtedly impressive pad. But that would be a bit like putting a log flume in the bathroom – ie: completely brilliant. So go on, put your money where your mouth is, by gum!

The festivals I'm talking about are Volksfest, the Gretna Arts and Crafts festival and Ponchatoula's 8th annual Strawberry Jam'n Toast to the Arts Festival. There all great, exciting and perfect for the family.
The best part: most of them are inside or have tents. So, when you hear that the weather is going to be rainy--no fear, you'll be under cover.
So go have fun this weekend and relax, because you've earned it after two long Jazz Fest weeks.

NEW YORK - The former Knicks executive who is suing coach Isiah Thomas for sexual harassment alleged court papers that Thomas urged a cheerleader to flirt with referees and guard Stephon Marbury cursed at her, according to a report in today's Daily News.
Anucha Browne Sanders, a former senior vice president of marketing and business operations, filed documents to answer the Knicks' attempt to have her lawsuit dismissed.
In the papers, which were unsealed Friday, Browne Sanders alleges cheerleader Petra Pope told her that Thomas encouraged Pope to flirt with officials before a game against the Nets in 2004, the Daily News reported.
"What she told me was that Isiah asked her to go into the referees' locker room and make them happy," Browne Sanders testified.
She also claimed in the documents that Marbury directed an obscenity at her after she complained about the player's cousin - who was also employed by the team - had made graphic sexual comments to her staff, the Daily News reported.
The New York Post reported that Marbury, in a January deposition, acknowledged calling Browne Sanders a derogatory name.
Marbury is not a defendant in the lawsuit.
The Knicks said in a statement the lawsuit was "riddled with fabrications," the newspapers reported.
Browne Sanders, 44, a former Northwestern basketball star, filed a lawsuit last year, claiming she was fired "for telling the truth" while going through internal channels to stop the harassment. She has accused Thomas of telling her he was "very attracted" to her and "in love" with her and tried to kiss her.
The 44-year-old former Northwestern basketball star is seeking reinstatement to her job and unspecified damages.
Thomas and Madison Square Garden are listed as the defendants in the lawsuit, which charges them with sex discrimination and retaliation. Madison Square Garden said she was fired because she "failed to fulfill professional responsibilities."

Louisiana has been pushing to get more low-income children covered by health insurance, and that worthwhile effort is paying off. The percentage of uninsured children fell to 3.5 percent in 2011, according to LSU's Public Policy Research Laboratory.
That's a historic low and translates into 16,190 fewer uninsured children since 2009, the last time that the health insurance survey was done.
The 2011 results show a drop from 2009, when 5 percent were uninsured, and an even steeper decrease from 2003, when the state Department of Health and Hospital's commissioned the first survey. That year, the survey concluded that 11.1 percent of Louisiana children were not insured.
The survey, which is done every two years, is based on 10,000 Louisiana households and 27,000 residents.
Increasing the number of children who are covered is a significant public health accomplishment. Children with health coverage are more likely to get preventive care such as regular well checkups and immunizations. They're also more likely to get prompt treatment when they are sick. Giving more Louisiana children a healthy start in life should help them enjoy healthier lives as adults.
The state has been making a concerted effort to increase awareness of the Louisiana Children Health Insurance Program, known as LaCHIP, which provides health care coverage through Medicaid to children of families with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level. In the 2011 survey, 75 percent of those who responded knew what LaCHIP was, compared to just 43.1 percent in 2005. The state's outreach has increased the percentage of children getting health care coverage through Medicaid or LaCHIP from 43.4 percent in 2009 to 47.6 percent in 2011.
Louisiana's progress in this arena was recognized by the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Kids Count report, which noted that the state had surpassed its enrollment goals for LaCHIP.
The state also expanded health care access through the LaCHIP Affordable Plan, which allows families with incomes of up to 250 percent of the federal poverty level to get coverage for their children.
It also streamlined enrollment. Children who are eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are now automatically enrolled in Medicaid, which has the same eligibility requirements. That change resulted in 7,875 children getting enrolled in Medicaid.
The 2011 survey shows that fewer children are slipping through the cracks in the health care system, DHH Secretary Bruce Greenstein said. That's an encouraging improvement.

The WPIAL is home to many great football teams, great traditions, and great coaches.
This Thursday evening, two of the WPIAL's best coaches will match wits in a match-up that may resemble a chess match more than a football game.
When Art Walker, Jr. and his North Allegheny Tigers (3-0) travel down US Highway 19 to battle Jim Render's Upper St. Clair Panthers (3-0) in a WPIAL Thursday night football showcase, you can bet a darn good football game is going to follow.
History, though, indicates different.
North Allegheny is 0-6 in games against Upper St. Clair since 2002. NA has lost 4 of those games by 3 touchdowns or more, and the only loss decided by one possession came in 2002 when the Tigers fell 16-13.
NA fell twice to USC last year by a combined margin of 40-10. In the 6 meetings, North Allegheny has been outscored 177-33, or 29-5. The Tigers lost their Week 4 match-up with the Panthers last season 16-7 in Wexford and then dropped a WPIAL AAAA semi-final 24-3 in a game which USC dominated defensively.
Granted, NA may not have lost last year's regular season meeting if it hadn't lost starting quarterback Mike Locke with a badly injured shoulder. Locke hurt his shoulder in the Woodland Hills game in Week 3, a 21-0 loss. But the Tigers ran a two-quarterback platoon on their way to the Northern Five Conference title and a WPIAL semi-final run. Locke returned for the Woodland Hills' quarterfinal and led the Tigers to a 24-17 win.
The Tigers, just for good measure, avenged the 21-0 defeat to Woodland Hills a little bit more last week, destroying the turquoise and black 47-0, forcing 7 fumbles, and getting a 3-touchdown performance from back-up quarterback Jeff Greco, one of the guys who spelled Locke during his shoulder injury. Greco ran for 2 scores and caught another as the Tigers rolled the Wolverines, who haven't began a season 0-3 since 1992.
Of course, the success of Upper St. Clair has been well-documented. The Panthers are currently tied for the longest-active win streak in the state with Wilson Area at 19 games. USC hasn't lost since the 2005 WPIAL AAAA quarterfinals, when Woodland Hills upended the Panthers 28-15.
Jim Render, of course, has been a mainstay with Upper St. Clair now going on almost 3 decades. Render could be considered one of the "deans" of the WPIAL with all of the coaching success he has had. He coached and won a Big 33 Classic. He has been to 10 WPIAL AAAA championship games, winning 5, including a 5-year stretch in which his Panthers reached the title game held at Three Rivers Stadium consecutive years. He won his first WPIAL title at Heinz Field last season over Penn Hills. He's coached in 4 PIAA AAAA state finals, winning in 1989 and 2006 and falling in 1992 and 1997. Render owns a 3-0 all-time record at Hersheypark Stadium, and only 1 other WPIAL coach is unbeaten in multiple appearances in Hershey (South Park's Tom Loughran).
Maybe it matters that USC lost Pat McShane, battering ram Dane Conwell, kicker Alex Romanis, and receivers Taylor Everett and Adam Chrissis to graduation. Then you look on the sideline and see the 29-year veteran head coach who owns a 318-99-6 career record standing there with his signature scowl, and you realize everything's going to be fine.
Unless you're matched up against him.
It's been different names, same results for the Panthers this season. Grant Serdy replaced Dane Conwell, and rolled up 131 rushing yards against Connellsville last week in a 41-0 victory. Serdy also returned the opening kickoff of the second half 95 yards for a touchdown. USC, in typical USC fashion, did not score a touchdown via the pass in the Connellsville win, but two weeks ago, against Fox Chapel, it seemed Render pulled out all the stops.
Quarterback Shane Brennan, replacing Pat McShane, simply went bananas on the Fox Chapel defense, completing 10-of-13 passes for 182 yards and 4 touchdowns. Rarely did USC even attempt 10 passes in a game last season, let alone complete 10 in a game. In fact, the most passes USC attempted in a game was 10, against Bethel Park, and McShane threw 3 touchdown passes in that game.
The chess match, Thursday night style, will undoubtedly be the best match-up that District 7 has to offer, coaching-wise and team wise, if you like power football and fast-moving football games with few pass attempts.
Will North Allegheny finally defeat USC in this decade? Will USC push its win streak to 20? Who will blink first in fighting for sole ownership of the state's longest win streak?
We'll know in 3 days.

It's looking like Matt Barkley will be one tweaked hammy away from a shot at redemption.
Michael Vick appears set to start at quarterback when the Eagles face the Giants on Sunday. Vick has missed the Eagles' past two games with a hamstring injury. Nick Foles, who started in Vick's place, is almost certain to miss Sunday's game with a concussion. He's still miles away from being cleared to play.
That leaves Barkley within a realistic scenario of making his second NFL appearance. He threw three interceptions (four if you count the one that was by negated by a penalty) on three drives in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He'd welcome a chance for atonement.
"I don't believe in therapy," Barkley joked. "Just get back and do it. It's always good to get back on the field after a loss and make corrections from last week and move on to the next week and make corrections. It would be good to get back on the field."
Temperatures Sunday are expected to be in the 50's with an accompanying brisk fall wind. It's not unrealistic to think Vick and his hamstring don't make it through the entire game. Hamstring injuries can sometimes be tricky. Vick has been able to practice for the past two weeks, but has yet to let it loose and run at full speed. Who knows how that will turn out when he does, especially in a game situation.
Barkley's been getting some first-team reps this week as a precaution. Nothing outrageous, just the handful of snaps that the backup quarterback normally receives. It's the same as the past two weeks when Barkley worked as the backup to Foles.
It didn't pay off in the game. Barkley admittedly made too many poor decisions. He's hoping to have learned from the rough first outing, and confidence doesn't appear to be a problem.
"I know what I'm capable of," Barkley said. "I know what I can do in this league. I'll learn from those throws, especially in a clutch situation like that when I kind of felt I'm trying to win the game with a play or whatnot."
After taking a step back and watching the film, Barkley appears focused on the positives. He thought he threw the ball accurately, had good timing and made "a lot of great decisions" aside from the few plays which proved costly.
What threw him for a loop was that Dallas surprised him by playing a lot of zone late in the game. The Eagles had been seeing mostly man coverage earlier in the game and in previous weeks (Tampa game withstanding).
Regardless, the Eagles expect better. They're holding the fourth-round pick to high standard. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was not willing to chalk it up to inexperience or rookie jitters.
"No, we don't expect bad play from anybody, no matter how old they are," Shurmur said. "We expect them to go out and perform well. That's what we expect. If there are bad plays or bad games, you do what you can to correct it."
Barkley may get that chance sooner rather than later, maybe as early as this week. Hopefully it goes better than his NFL debut.

The contents of both pages are the same, so I think Marlow Drive should redirect to Marlowe Drive, or deleted altogether. I am not positive that Marlow Drive does not exist in the game, so I am not officially asking to delete it, but I think someone should look into this. Nebiksrazu (talk) 12:56, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Cloud. This page should be renamed "El Nuevo Siglo Supermarket". If you look closely at the photo of the storefront, you should see this. "El Nuevo Siglo" would translate to The New Century from Spanish. Thanks in advance! RageQuit (talk) 23:20, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
The Lost and the AoD
I never said the Angels of Death were in GTA V. I said it is likely that San Andreas is divided between the Lost and the Angels, with the AoD controlling the north (San Fierro and surrounding areas) and the Lost controlling the south ( Los Santos and Blaine County.) This would mirror the divide between the real life Hells Angels and Mongols in northern and southern California respectively. Besides, GTA IV and V share thesame fictional universe, and it is mentioned in GTA IV on the in-game internet that the AoD hold territory in San Fierro and in fact that their first chapter started there.

GTA 5 Discoveries
I am unawares of all the rules for posting on someones talk page, so please forgive me if I break any rules. I just wanted to let you know I have discovered 2 underwater wreckages, 1 Air Plane, similar to the Jumbo Jet/Enormous Cargo Jet, broken in several pieces a small distance form Paledo Bay. Also, as of a few minutes ago, I have discovered a sunken Cargo Ship near Ft. Zancudo. The ship is to the right of the Tunnel, near the small penninsula that goes out to sea, and is on the side closer to LS and farther from Paledo Bay. I have no pictures, but I discovered these with the Submersible you use after purchasing the Nuclear Waste Cleanup Facility. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask them on my page here *Haven't made one yet* or go to the MLP wiki, you can message my talk or find me on the Chat. Have an excellent day friend!

About the Vandal
I was checking the wikia activity and I was not expecting what I saw. You and Smashbro8 really have a bad time with that guy last night, I didn't see what the vandal posted, but I can imagine how gross it was. I think the wikia should allow patrollers to block users, especially since you is the staff member most active here and Smah is also aplling to be a patroller. What happened last night could have been prevented much more easily. 558050 Talk 8:56, 30 April, 2014 (UTC)
It's impossible to get rid of him entirely unofrtunately. We'll just have to ignore him, not react, revert his edits, block any accounts he makes, and move on. He'll get bored eventually, a reaction is exaclty what he wants. Don't let it get to you mate. Tom Talk 17:04, April 30, 2014 (UTC)

GTA Myths Wiki
No, it shouldn't be deleted. Now that we're no longer affiliated with them, my suggestion is to just ignore and forget about them. Let Sasquatch say what he wants, I do sympathize with his frustration and nobody should be allowing his words to bother them. He's unlikely to convince any editors to forsake GTA Wiki let alone enough to make a difference, and he's not the only editor on that wiki either, they shouldn't be punished because he lost his temper. Again, he was a great editor on this wiki for a long time and even if he flamed out I don't think it's right to kick dirt on him. Let it be. Jeff (talk·stalk) 02:08, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

Can you provide information on second closings? The Road Home department called me back in May and asked if I would like to speed up my closing date by accepting my grant award now and then return at a later date for a "second closing." I have been calling the post-closing department for months and nobody will return my call. I am entitled to and am qualified for the remainder of my money and on my original closing paper, but it does state that I am to return for a second closing.
Unfortunately, we don't have information on the status of second closings, which usually come about as part of the Road Home program's appeals process.
If an applicant disagrees with the award calculation, the homeowner can choose to go to closing and receive the current award amount. If The Road Home determines that the homeowner should receive additional funding after their file is reviewed by the Resolution Team or Appeals Office, the Road Home will disburse funds at a second closing. If additional documents are not required of you, the second disbursement will be mailed directly to you in lieu of holding a second closing.
We're not sure what phone number you've been calling, but the Road Home number we have for homeowners who have questions after their initial closing about a second closing can call (888)¥401-9110 or e-mail postclosing
My aunt died in the flood after Hurricane Katrina. I was heir to her home, but I did not live in the house at the time of the flood. I have had my interview with Road Home and after several months of waiting, I received a letter offering me $45,000, saying the value before the hurricane was $75,000. It said that I could sell the house to them at that price or get that amount to use for repairs or I could appeal. I had comps run for my aunt's home. Three comps averaged out a selling price of $114,000 before Katrina. Several more months have passed since I appealed and now I've received a letter -- a Notice of Ineligibility -- because I didn't live in the house during the storm. I hope you can give me some guidance.
The best suggestion we can offer at this point is that you file a formal appeal in writing to the Road Home Appeals Office.
All appeals must be submitted in writing to The Road Home Appeals Office. Before submitting an appeal, you must first attempt to resolve issues by working with The Road Home Resolution Team.
The Appeals Office will only accept communication that is mailed to The Road Home Appeals Office. Faxes, e-mails, telephone calls or other methods of communication will not be accepted as an appeal. When submitting a Road Home appeal, your letter or document must include the following information: Full name of all homeowners/applicants; complete address; application ID number (beginning with 06HH); signature of applicant or co-applicant telephone number(s); specific reason for appealing The Road Home decision.
Additional information can be submitted to support your appeal claim. All information related to your formal appeal must be mailed to: The Road Home Appeals Office, P.O. Box 4669, Baton Rouge, LA 70821.
All official communication from the Appeals Office will be provided in writing through certified mail. All decisions will be made by an Appeals Board based on the information included in your application, award calculations made by The Road Home, program policies and documents mailed with your appeal.

A Florida wind developer is moving ahead with plans to erect a 66-turbine commercial wind park in Bay and Tuscola counties, and says the project would represent a $250 million investment in the area.
Other statistics released by officials with NextEra Energy Resources include 30-year estimates for the project's impact:
- $15 million in property tax payments;
- $20 million in payments to 75 landowners;
- $25 million in salaries and benefits to 10 employees who will operate the park;
- $30 million in the purchase of local goods and services by the company.
"So far, it's been positive," Scott Hawken, NextEra's project director, said of the reaction from area residents. "We think people are coming together a lot more."
Since plans were announced late last year, the company has reached agreements with about 10 landowners in Bay and Tuscola counties to install wind turbines on their property, Hawken said.
Agreements will need to be reached with a total of 75 landowners to allow for the project, including some in Saginaw County's Blumfield Township, to allow for transmission lines.
Each 1.5-megawatt, General Electric turbine will require about one acre of land, including access roads, and landowners will receive a share of proceeds from the sale of the electricity generated.
Each turbine will stand almost 400 feet tall, from the ground to the top of the blades, Hawken said.
Bay County's Merritt Township held a town hall meeting this week about the project. About 100 people came out to ask questions and voice opinions.
"They are concerned that it could change the landscape forever and ever," said David Schabel, supervisor of Merritt, a farming community. "Other people say if we can get money for the township and the county and the state, that's a good idea, too."Bay County Executive Thomas L. Hickner said he hopes the community will embrace the project.
Hickner said NextEra needs to take steps to address any concerns over noise and other impacts, and should consider sharing royalties from the park with all residents, not just those with wind turbines on their land.
"The economic impact would be very positive, as would the amount of property taxes that would be collected," Hickner said.
Hawken said the project continues to generate questions from residents, and NextEra is doing its best to keep people informed.
Those with questions can call company spokeswoman Mary Wells toll-free at (866) 284-7080. The company also plans to hold public information sessions in Bay and Tuscola counties in the spring.
"We haven't heard anybody saying 'Get off of our property' or 'No way,'" Hawken said.
NextEra hopes to begin construction in the spring of 2011 and complete the project by year's end.
Schabel said Merritt officials still are working on an ordinance for windmills, which will govern how far they can be located from homes, among other things. He said he couldn't say if he's heard more positive or negative comments from residents about the project.
The Tuscola Bay Wind Energy Center, as it's being called, will be considered a 100-megawatt project. But Hawken said he expects the "net capacity factor" to be about 35 percent of that, meaning the site will generate about 35 megawatts a year on average.
NextEra estimates 150-200 construction jobs will be created during six to eight months of work, and six to 10 full-time employees will be needed to operate and maintain the center over 20 or so years.
"We try to hire as many of them locally as we can," Wells said. "I would expect, in this area, we will not have a shortage of skilled tradespeople."
The Tuscola Bay Wind Energy Center would be the third commercial wind park in the area, with two others in the Thumb.
NextEra operates more than 75 wind sites in the United States and Canada, but none in Michigan. The company added 11 sites to its fleet in 2009, Wells said.
While the company continues to meet with landowners, the next phase of the project will be environmental studies on possible impacts to bird and bat populations, Hawken said.
"It's something we do as standard practice," he said, adding that there's no state requirement.
NextEra already has met with state environmental officials about the project, and will need permits from local townships, according to Hawken. The company installed a wind-measuring tower in Tuscola County's Akron Township about a year ago and plans to install another one in Merritt Township in the next couple of months.
Power from the project will be sent to the grid, and NextEra already has talked with Consumers Energy and DTE Energy officials about providing green power to the utilities. Michigan has a renewable portfolio standard that requires companies such as Consumers and DTE to get 10 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2015.
Hawken said NextEra was attracted to the Bay City area by Michigan's RPS goals and average wind speeds.

Harrison Hospital plans name change
Harrison Memorial Hospital is refocusing its identity, changing its name to Harrison Medical Center in an effort to reflect the facilitys transition from a community hospital into a first-rate regional health provider.
In a statement, Hospital President and CEO Scott Bosch said Harrison Medical Center best describes what we are becoming. People also feel the term medical center implies a technologically advanced facility that reaches a larger geographic base and offers a wider variety of services than a community hospital does.
Spokeswoman Patti Hart said the hospital will soon decide whether to revise our corporate identity and create a new logo, or just change the lettering on the logo that now exists.
Also in development is a strategic communication plan, in order to enhance the public perception of hospital.
This will include an effort on Bainbridge Island, where residents gravitate toward the large Seattle hospitals for care.
People on Bainbridge dont know a lot about us, she said. Its not that they dont like us. We need to do a better job marketing to that area and telling our story.
Hart said the hospital intends to strengthen its services in four basic areas: Cardiac, orthopedic, mother/baby and oncology.
Harrison Hospital was founded in 1942 and now has branches in Bremerton, Silverdale and Port Orchard.
A not-for-profit hospital, it employs a staff of 250.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - George Mason trailed by as many as 14 points in the game, but the Patriots rallied for a decisive 56-51 victory over Drexel Thursday night in the Daskalakis Athletic Center. Drexel, tied for fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association entering the contest, dropped its second straight league game, falling to 10-10 overall and 6-4 in conference play. Mason improved to 11-10 and 5-5 with the triumph.
Taleia Moton scored a game-high 28 points recording her fourth consecutive game of 20+ points as Janaa Pickard, playing in front of her home crowd, chipped in 13 for the Patriots. Moton tied her career-high at the charity stripe, going 12-for-14 including a 5-of-7 effort over the final 1:13. Pickard finished the game with six rebounds, two steals and two blocks.
After scoring 29 of Drexel's 31 first half points, Hollie Mershon and Kamile Nacickaite were held to a combined eight points in the second half. Mershon capped the game with a team-high 23 points as Nacickaite contributed 14 to the scoreboard. The team's leading scorer, Nacickaite was scoreless from the field in the final 20 minutes as Mershon connected on two field goals.
Drexel kept the visiting Patriots off the scoreboard for the first four plus minutes of action, opening a 6-0 advantage before Mason knotted it up at 6-all on a Pickard layup inside the 14 minute mark. Nacickaite drained a pair of triples bookending a Pickard trip to the charity stripe for a 12-8 Dragon lead at 13:11. Coming out of the second media break, Mershon rattled off the next 12 points for Drexel pushing the Dragons out to a double-digit lead at 24-13 with 6:38 to play.
Talisha Watts cut the score to a single-digit deficit hitting a layup before Moton closed out the half connecting on two at the charity stripe for the 31-23 Drexel advantage. Drexel saw offensive outputs from only three players in the stanza led by Mershon's 17 points, while Nacickaite hit three of the Dragon's five triples for 12 points in the period. Mason was limited to a 28.6 percent shooting effort from the floor to Drexel's 40.7 percent.
Pickard opened the second half for Mason, draining a trey immediately out of the break. After Mershon hit a jumper for a nine-point Dragon lead, Drexel would score two points over the next 12 minutes as the Patriots used a 10-0 run to take its first lead of the contest following an Easter jumper from the left wing at 10:24.
After Nicole Jones broke the run, Moton scored another seven unanswered over a three minute span, handing the Patriots 47-41 margin as the clock hit 4:36 to play. Tyler Hale sliced the score to a four point margin with a jumper at 3:26, but the Patriots closed the final three minutes going 9-for-11 from the free throw line to seal their first conference win on the road, 56-51. After shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the arc in the first half, Drexel was stifled in the second, hitting 1-of-13 (7.7%).
The win marked only the second win for Mason at Drexel and first since February 13, 2003.

Off the hook
September 16, 2009 - John D'Agostino
New York state's budget deficit continues to grow ... and everytime you look it is someone else's fault, especially the current Albany leadership and Gov. David Paterson.
Paterson may not have the best ideas -- and deserves plenty of ridicule for decisions he has made during his 16 months as governor. But let's not forget the person who really left this mess -- George Pataki.
In 1994, nobody knew Pataki except for the fact he was the anti-Gov. Mario Cuomo. He would be good for business community, chop taxes and turn the state around.
Easy to say before he took office, but his results from 12 years were dreadful. Upstate population continued to decline as businesses continued their exodus.
He never had on-time budgets and was the king of spending increases and tax hikes.
In all, Pataki was a pretender. A do-nothing guy who never really took responsiblity for anything. Heck, the only time he made a trip to Chautauqua County was to endorse an area fellow Republican -- Cathy Young or Greg Edwards -- when they were running for office.
So sure. Blame Albany for the mess we're in. But know that Paterson is not totally at fault. The governor before Spitzer left no legacy -- and very few achievements worth noting.
In fact, you could make a good argument that the years with Pataki were much worse for Western New York than the years Cuomo was in the governor's chair.

For many organizations, storage remains a complex challenge, even with top talent managing the resource. Without storage, the virtual environment cannot operate, as there would be no place for the machines to exist. Moreover, without a properly configured storage infrastructure, a company's IT assets are wasted and business services will be negatively affected. To that end, this paper focuses on the storage portion of the virtualization dynamic. Specifically, we will delve into nine storage concepts that should be understood by the modern virtualization administrator.
At the inception, you may be the apprentice of the storage configuration and optimization, but by the end, you will be the master.

To the Editor:
Now that Paul has climbed to first place in the polls here in Iowa, despite the complete lack of media attention, the establishment hacks are all screaming in one accord that Iowa doesn't matter all that much. Doesn't matter? So your vote doesn't count after all, we were just pretending it did. At least when it comes to a candidate who threatens to knock over the rotten apple cart in Washington.
Two out of three people who have won in Iowa have gone on to win the nomination. It is an important testing ground to see how well a candidate can organize and generate enough boots-on-the-ground enthusiasm to be a serious contender against the current regime. If all the other candidates are dead ducks, incapable of generating any kind of steam from within their own party, what chances have they got in the long run on the national stage? Very little if any, and polls have coincidentally shown that Paul fares best against Obama.
A NBC-Marist Survey, conducted between November 27-29, shows that Paul polls strongest against Obama, both tied with 42 percent. Newt and Romney would lose to the president. The survey shows that Paul has support outside the GOP, which any Republican will need to score a victory in November next year. Paul leads Obama 42 to 35 percent among independent voters, even siphoning off some democratic voters disenfranchised with Obama's false promises.
So much for these paid for pundits who claim a Paul victory would only hurt the GOP. The numbers tell us just the opposite, any vote for one of these Big Government, Obama-care authoring, Carbon Tax pushing, Banker Bailing out RINOS would be a vote for Obama.
Only Ron Paul can generate the kind of grassroots passionate support needed to beat the billion dollar man.
