Warning of Thin Ice
Two motorcycle riders in their mid-20s are very lucky after drag racing on ice at Thompson's Lake that gave way. Authorities say they hit a soft patch and one motorcycle went into the frigid water but the rider was able to scurry away, according to Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple.
Now, authorities are urging the public to use caution when going out onto lakes and other bodies of water due to thin ice.
The two men, a 25-year old from Coeymans and a 23-year old from Selkirk, were uninjured but arrangements needed to be made to remove the motorcycle from the frigid water, Apple said in a press release. Additionally, the NYS Environmental Police were called in to assist with clean up.
With such a cold stretch during the early part of the season, many people believe that the lake ice is thicker than what it really is, Apple said. Ice conditions are always difficult to predict, but recent warm weather has drastically melted the ice and weakened the stability on lakes in Albany County.
"Everyone was rescued unharmed and never actually entered the water," Apple said. "People need to be aware of their surroundings and added that everyone who does venture onto ice should have proper buoyancy protection such as life vests."

Archaeologists locate wreck of Confederate gunboat
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-5400
A University of South Carolina archaeologist has found the wreck of C.S.S. Peedee, a Confederate gunboat that was destroyed by Confederate forces so it would not be captured by Union forces, in the Pee Dee River.
The discovery comes 18 months after underwater archaeologist Chris Amer confirmed the presence of two of three cannon from the gunboat in the river: a Confederate Brooke rifled cannon and a Union Dahlgren smooth-bore, 9-inch shell cannon near the Confederate Mars Bluff Navy Yard.
"This isn't a boat resting neatly on the river bottom," Amer said. "The remains are as messy as the history that put it there. Together, the wreck and cannon tell a story about the little known but very important role that inland Confederate naval yards played in the Civil War. Hidden along interior rivers, the naval yards let Confederate forces build and protect gunboats and support vessels."
Amer said that after an unsuccessful three-week search in July to determine whether the elusive third cannon was hidden under the Dahlgren or under a handful of artillery shells on the river's bottom, he returned in September to follow up on clues about the Peedee's location.
The clues included some data from downstream that he gathered in 2009 and a personal account by a man who claimed that he witnessed a salvage operation of the Peedee in 1954.

Fox News Inverts Evidence To Link Mental Health With Mass Murder
Blog ››› ››› BRIAN THORN
Fox News' Martha MacCallum exaggerated the relationship between mental health and gun violence by suggesting advocates for stronger gun laws focus on the few individuals with mental health conditions who commit mass killings instead of the widely available weapons that they used.
On the February 5 edition of America's Newsroom, MacCallum pushed the debunked myth that mental health is a common variable among violent criminals by listing recent mass shooters. MacCallum highlighted four perpetrators of mass shootings, and said, "You look at the people who've carried out these heinous crimes and killed so many innocent children. ... All of these have mental health issues." MacCallum went on to criticize President Obama for focusing on stronger gun laws rather than mental health in his policy response to the Newtown, CT, mass shooting.
By limiting her sample to just a few high-profile criminals, MacCallum ignored that those with mental health conditions represent a small percentage of perpetrators of violent crimes. In fact, studies have shown that people with mental health conditions are more often the victims of violent crime than the perpetrators.
According to the National Journal, "96 percent of violent crimes -- defined by the FBI as murders, robberies, rapes, and aggravated assaults -- are committed by people without any mental-health problems at all." From the National Journal:
Although people with serious mental illness have committed a large percentage of high-profile crimes, the mentally ill represent a very small percentage of the perpetrators of violent crime overall. Researchers estimate that if mental illness could be eliminated as a factor in violent crime, the overall rate would be reduced by only 4 percent. That means 96 percent of violent crimes -- defined by the FBI as murders, robberies, rapes, and aggravated assaults -- are committed by people without any mental-health problems at all. Solutions that focus on reducing crimes by the mentally ill will make only a small dent in the nation's rate of gun-related murders, ranging from mass killings to shootings that claim a single victim.
Paul Appelbaum, a psychiatrist and the director of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons' Division of Law, Ethics and Psychiatry, has said that "most gun violence is just not committed by people with mental illness." Likewise, Dr. Richard A. Friedman, writing in The New York Times, noted that "there is overwhelming epidemiological evidence that the vast majority of people with psychiatric disorders do not commit violent acts."
On the February 4 edition of Fox News' Hannity, guest Ann Coulter made a similar argument to MacCallum's, listing the recent Alabama kidnapping by Jim Lee Dykes and the slaying of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle before blaming gun violence on "the ACLU and the liberals who will not do anything about the mentally ill." Coulter then went on to misrepresent the scope and efficacy of universal background checks, claiming "everything they are telling you they can do about guns is a lie."
President Obama's plan to protect communities from gun violence approached the issue from multiple angles, including increasing mental health services, improving support for those at high risk for mental illness, and training additional mental health professionals.

Why would Orvis take the world's best fly rod and change it? The answer is simple. They are driven by constant improvement. Put this rod in your hands and feel the rush. You'll completely understand.
You see that brown trout gently sipping sulphurs in the back eddy over there? He's not going to catch himself. Tie on a cripple, put on some floatant, and make sure you have this Helios 2 in your hands. The rest is academic. Lighter in hand than the original Helios, and with unrivaled tracking ability, this medium-action 5-weight feels just as home on the Madison or Snake as it does on that little brook running through the woods by your house. This all around trout fly rod will handle flies, fish, and rivers—large or small—with equal aplomb and sensitivity. Proudly made in Manchester, Vermont.

Perform an accurate moisture test
When epoxy paint on garage floors peels up prematurely, the problem is most likely caused by too much slab moisture. Unfortunately, the widely used plastic sheeting test (taping a sheet of plastic film to the concrete and checking for condensation droplets after 24 hours) isn't reliable. A better method is to use calcium chloride–based testing kits (about $40 for the three kits you'll need).
For the most accurate results, conduct the test during the spring when the soil is damp and low humidity is forecast. Dry air draws moisture up through the concrete, so you'll be getting "worst case" results that time of year. Place two of the test kits at least 5 ft. away from walls, and the third test kit in the middle of the floor. Follow the surface preparation instructions to the letter. That means you'll have to grind off about 1/32 in. of concrete to remove any surface sealers or hardening agents (Photo 1). Once you've ground off the top layer, use the pH test liquid and strips included in the kit to determine the acidity (pH) level of the freshly exposed concrete. The pH level should be 6.5 to 7. If yours isn't, check with the paint manufacturer to see if its paint will stick.
If the pH level checks out, leave the test sections open to the garage air for 24 hours before starting the test. Place the calcium chloride dish in the test areas and apply the sealing dome (Photo 2). After the chemical absorbs moisture for 60 to 72 hours, cut openings in the domes and remove and seal the dishes. Then mail them off to the testing lab for analysis (included in the kit price).
The maximum amount of water vapor penetration is 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. If your results show more than that amount, don't even consider applying epoxy or any other paint-type coating to your floor. Instead, live with your old boring concrete or consider a snap-together tile floor.
However, if your tests hover around the 3-lb. mark, your results are borderline. Consider calling in a professional testing lab to conduct a more rigid (and accurate) test. Find one online or in the yellow pages under "Testing Laboratories."
For moisture tests, search online for "calcium chloride moisture tests."

One of them actually says to me, "well if you had enough bad experiences with black people you would understand why someone would use that word." I had to remind her that my father was murdered by an African American man and at no time did it occur to me to become racist. She didn't say anything after that other then it not being that big of a deal.
I thought the world was at a consensus that racism is always bad and a big deal. I guess I was wrong. I feel so uncomfortable around them now.

description: Cheetahs usually hunt alone. But in this video, 2 male cheetahs join together to attack prey much larger than themselves.

title: Cheetah Hunt

transcript:
Seasonal rains bring renewed life to this parched land, attracting a herd of wildebeest, eager to feast on the succulent, sweet grasses that grow in the rain’s wake.
Over one and a half million wildebeest make this trek each year—part of the Great Migration that takes the beasts through Kenya and Tanzania.
But the journey is not without peril. And today’s stopping place happens to be within the territory of two young male cheetahs.
Cheetahs are normally solitary creatures, living a nomadic life. However male cheetahs, especially litter-mates, will sometimes live together in “coalitions,” and maintain a territory.
They hunt together, and can bring down larger prey than they would if hunting by themselves.
Well known as the fastest land mammal, cheetahs can go from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds. Fast enough, when lucky, to overtake a lone wildebeest.
The two males size up the situation, bobbing and weaving through the wildebeest, as the wary grazers step out of the way of the big cats.
Without warning, the cheetah bolts and locks onto his intended target. Its hunting partner joins in, and the struggle to bring down the hapless wildebeest ensues.
A cheetah kills its large prey by grabbing the victim by its throat and suffocating it.
Despite their speed and agility, they are successful hunters only about half of the time.
In the end, success is with the cheetah brothers. The rest of the wildebeest herd looks on—they do not come to the aid of the downfallen.
The cheetahs will enjoy their meal—and many others like it during this time of plenty. But soon, the rains will end, and the herd will again move on…as this great migration continues.

By Newman

Love, Love, Love this shoe, so much that I bought three pair. Perhaps my only complaint is that with a single pair of socks, the velcro strap doesn't feel secure/tight enough. That MAY be me.But in every other aspect, this is a terrific shoe, and in fact, if I used a second pair of socks, I may not have any problems.As usual, HS gets it done.Karen,Sequim, WA
Good Quality for the Price !
By Letylocks
from Hamilton, Ontario Canada
The shoes are very comfortable and the lining is soft enough that you don't have to wear socks. However, the strap is just a little too high on the instep of my foot and tends to rub against the top of my foot near the ankle.
Terrific shoe!

Thrombocytopenia is any disorder in which there is an abnormally low amount of platelets. Platelets are parts of the blood that help blood to clot. This condition is sometimes associated with abnormal bleeding.
Thrombocytopenia is often divided into three major causes of low platelets:
- Not enough platelets are made in the bone marrow
- Increased breakdown of platelets in the bloodstream
- Increased breakdown of platelets in the spleen or liver
Your bone marrow may not make enough platelets if you have:
- Aplastic anemia
- Cancer in the bone marrow such as leukemia
- Cirrhosis (liver scarring)
- Folate deficiency
- Infections in the bone marrow (very rare)
- Myelodysplasia
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
Use of certain drugs may also lead to a low production of platelets in the bone marrow. The most common example is chemotherapy treatment.
The following health conditions cause increasedbreakdown of platelets:
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
- Drug-induced nonimmune thrombocytopenia
- Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia
- Hypersplenism (swollen spleen)
- Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
You may not have any symptoms. General symptoms include:
- Bleeding in the mouth and gums
- Bruising
- Nosebleeds
- Rash (pinpoint red spots called petechia)
Other symptoms depend on thecause.
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. The following tests may be done:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Blood clotting studies (PTT and PT)
Other tests that may help diagnose this condition include:
Treatment depends on the cause of the condition. In some cases, a transfusion of platelets may be required to stop or prevent bleeding.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome depends on the disorder causing the low platelet counts.
Possible Complications
Severe bleeding (hemorrhage) is the main complication. Bleeding may occur in the brain or gastrointestinal tract.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your healthcare provider if you experience unexplained bleeding or bruising.
Prevention depends on the specific cause.

The new Hobart brand campaign — "It's the tie that binds" — is celebrating the tie that binds science and people in an industry that is about getting jobs done right. From the filler metals customers use to the relationships developed on the journey to find the right filler metal solution, the campaign reflects the commitment and passion to helping customers make their projects a reality.
"Filler metals are more than just a component of welding. They are the very tie that binds Hobart customers with the creation of some of the most distinctive and instrumental things that impact the world in which we live — making our world a more secure, more dynamic and more exciting place. Having a connection to our customers is at the heart of the partnerships we create, and at the heart of our collaborative approach to welding," said Rich Thompson, vice president of marketing Hobart. "Hobart is proud to be a part of every creation its products help customers bring to life."
Filler metal customers visiting the new Hobart brand campaign site can begin the process of finding their individual welding solution one of three ways:
1) Request a free Hobart filler metal sample to experience firsthand ways to achieve faster, more productive welding.
2) Request to speak with a Hobart welding specialist, who can provide valuable feedback and product recommendations based on individual applications.
3) Request free product literature to help evaluate product specifications and more.
While visiting the site, filler metal customers can also learn about welding solutions found by other Hobart customers — including Bad Boy Mowers and more — via videos of their success stories. Customers can also find out about the newest Hobart filler metals to address their welding needs.

SE Powell Boulevard between 13th and 21st avenues reopened Sunday morning, May 19, a day ahead of schedule. Construction crews have been working around the clock since Friday night to place nine girders for the vehicle and light rail overpasses as part of the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Project. The work was performed around the clock to minimize the impact to the public. This is the last scheduled full closure of Powell for light rail construction, with the new overpass for northbound SE 17th Avenue is scheduled to open this fall.
Economic benefits of the project - creating jobs
• 384 firms are/have worked on the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Project, 107 of which are minority/women-owned and emerging firms (DBEs).
• 2,914 direct jobs as of April 10 (1,981 on-site construction; 933 professional and technical).
About the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Project
The 7.3-mile project is the region's sixth MAX construction project to be built and extends from the terminus of the MAX Green and Yellow lines at Portland State University in Downtown Portland to South Waterfront, SE Portland, Milwaukie and North Clackamas County. About the project:
• 7.3 miles
• 10 stations
• The first of its kind multi-modal bridge will carry light rail, buses, bikes, pedestrians and a future Portland Streetcar extension over the Willamette River, but no private vehicles.
• TriMet's share of the $1.49 billion project is less than 5 percent.
• Opens in September 2015
• Expands the MAX system to 60 miles and 97 stations

Job Search Pet Peeves: How Job Seekers And Recruiters Make A Bad Impression On Each Other!
Upload your resume
and have employers find you!
July 1, 2014
Below are the biggest irritations job seekers have with recruiters and the major annoyances recruiters have with job seekers.
We've conducted an informal poll and found some of the pet peeves that job seekers have about recruiters and ones that recruiters have about job seekers.
Job seekers' pet peeves
Recruiters who don't follow up.
Recruiters who don't return calls.
Recruiters who provide poor or inadequate information.
Recruiters who mislead, or who string you along, promising a position that doesn't materialize, a salary that doesn't materialize, etc.
Recruiters who are initially really keen on talking to you, then afterwards won't tell you why you didn't get the job.
Recruiters who won't give you a chance.
Ads that say "no calls."
Employers who write vague job descriptions and then tell you that you don't meet the qualifications – how do they know?
Employers who write excessively long job descriptions that say nothing specific.
When the process moves too slowly—particularly with no explanation about why.
When you're told you're over-qualified.
When you are really qualified, had a really good interview, and have really good references, but still don't get the job. (And if you ask, all you hear is that they hired someone else.)
When you respond to a job post and are told that the position is no longer available.
Recruiters' pet peeves
Emails, resumes, and cover letters that make the job seekers look unnecessarily bad (e.g. those with spelling errors or grammatical errors, those using sloppy slang like "u r" instead of "you are").
Job seekers who can't spell their own job correctly (e.g. "technitions").
Job seekers who send in resumes and have no idea about the employer to which they are applying.
Job seekers who have poorly constructed resumes, making it difficult for a recruiter to read them (e.g. font size or style, clutter) or to tell what the person actually does (e.g. hiding important information, not including important information, filling their resume with jargon).
Job seekers who don't provide contact details on their resume or who provide out-of-date contact details.
Job seekers who are dishonest.
Job seekers who are evasive, who won't give straight answers to questions.
Job seekers who don't express their strong interest in money in a polite way.
Rudeness—particularly callers who are arrogant, rather than confident.
Job seekers who have unrealistic expectations (e.g. salary, hours, position their background merits) in general, and those who have unrealistic expectations and then criticize the hospital for not being able to meet these expectations.
Job seekers who won't take "unqualified" for an answer.
Job seekers who ask questions and then, rather than listening to the answer, speak over you.
Lack of cooperation in forwarding necessary documentation or information.
Job seekers (both qualified and not) who call a second (or third) time, pretending that they haven't called before.
Job seekers who continue to spell the recruiter's name incorrectly, despite ongoing email communications.
Job seekers who think that mandatory items on a job description don't apply to them, or that items clearly stated as non-negotiable on a benefits package can be negotiated.
Job seekers who don't return calls.
Job seekers who don't give an employer the courtesy of simply saying by phone or email, "Thank you, but I'm no longer interested."
Job seekers who call you daily (or more than daily) when you have told them that you will get back to them the moment you have an update for them. (Or who keep calling back when you've told them more than once that the hiring manager is away for two weeks so you won't have any new information for at least two weeks and a day.)
And from the international recruitment area: Job seekers who call up for information about Country X, and then say obnoxious things about Country X, and "Why would I ever want to work in Country X?!"
Think these things don't happen? They do! So when you're applying for your next
healthcare job
, or when you're looking to
hire healthcare staff
, make sure that you don't become a "statistic" and make sure that you avoid doing anything that could be cited in our next informal poll!

uhh.. im pretty thatll piss off a lot of people
So what it's mean, 3GS will be garbage ???
It makes no sense because ATT is still marketing the 3gs. Lately ive seen the 3gs commercial more that the iphone 4. But like mentioned above apple likes the green and really wouldnt care of 3gs owners getting mad. But i would rather have a jaibroken 3gs with 4.2.1 than a 3gs 5.x.x that will make my phone laggier like the ios4 did to the 3g.
how do u "Thanks" a post in this new forum?
i wouldn't "Thanks" this post, just like all of your recent posts, Michael. Your posts have been from desperation not a good story. You jump on whatever you can even if it's as HORRIBLE and PROBABLY UNTRUE as this.
If ANYTHING the 3G will be incompatible.
Please, I'm not one to hate just PLEASE stop posting useless ish.
I can see a couple reasons to do this, one as stated would be to continue to make money. Another would be that maybe the 3gs can't do the things needed for the new OS. How about front cam/8mp cam necessities? how about retina display necessities? How about processing speed? How about all the other new things it will come with? Saying it is ignorant to abandon an old model is naive. That's like saying, " I'm gonna buy one computer and it will last forever". Not so! At some point, it just can't keep up and it's time to let it go. Nobody said the 3gs won't still be usable, just stay on the newest version that it supports, no bid deal. Other than what you read, you won't know what you are missing anyway. :?
I like how pissed off everyone gets. There does come a time when Apple will need to get rid of the old to continue on to make a better operating system. I don't think that this will happen as stated in the article. While I'm no Apple prophet I bet we would see a release of iOS 5 in it's full glory for the iPhone 4 and newer, and a dumbed down version for the 3Gs which is what we saw with iOS 4. Some of you guys give Apple so much grief when in general they are great to their customers! Best customer service I have ever received and that includes customer service for anything I've had to deal with. Not just computers.
Time to sell the iPhone 3Gs.
I don't see what the big deal is with this.. No new updates is all. The phone still works.

Ready for Linux Fest Northwest
The disks are burned, the stickers are being printed up, and the presentation still needs tweaking, but for all intents and purposes I'm ready for Linux Fest Northwest, which takes place this weekend at Bellingham Technical College.
Next to the Southern California Linux Expo — which will turn it up to 11 at SCALE 11X in February 2013* — Linux Fest Northwest is the best show on the West Coast. Collectively and in choral harmony, I can hear all of you saying, "What about OSCON?" True, OSCON is the biggest of the West Coast shows, bringing out all the big guns, both in FOSS personalities as well as in software and hardware. There are many excellent presentations offered every year at OSCON, however with the show growing to the commercial entity that it has become, there's a slickness to it that has a tendency to leave many visitors adrift in a vast sea of marketing.
Not so Linux Fest Northwest: It's in its 11th year in Bellingham, Washington — essentially Microsoft's backyard — and from the ground up it an all-community affair, completely run with a volunteer staff that puts on an outstanding show on what seems to be the Pacific Northwest's best weekend of weather. The classrooms at Bellingham Technical College are ideal for presentations and the expo floor is big enough to be interesting but small enough not to be too overwhelming.
I'll be presenting on Saturday morning — Greg DeKoenigsberg and I switched times so he could give his presentation on Sunday — on "An Intro to CrunchBang" in Haskell 103. Be there or be square. Also there's a CrunchBang Birds of a Feather meetup on Sunday morning as well. The CrunchBang booth — which will also feature some ZaReason hardware — will be in the center of the room diagonally across from where the raffle will take place.
So if you're in the Pacific Northwest, you should head over to Linux Fest Northwest. You can sign up at the LFNW link above (it's free, but you have to sign up for a badge), and head over to the show.
See you there.
*Truth in advertising: I have a vested interest in SCALE since I'm the publicity chair. But even if I wasn't, I'd still think SCALE is the best show on the West Coast. Frankly, I think it's the best show in the hemisphere and I'm beyond proud to be a part of it.

Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

The Mutech Corporation has created their Gamma Base on what used to be Alcatraz Island. Their attempts at creating computer intelligence has backfired, as the AI they've created has taken over the computer systems and is threatening the world! Deep in the fortress is a gamma bomb, and your goal is to penetrate the fortress to destroy the bomb before it can be used. But be careful, for many Deathbots are guarding the maze-like passageways leading to the bomb!
Gameplay is from an overhead point of view; you'll need to find your way through the various passageways to reach the gamma bomb (located on the 8th level) and diffuse it. In addition to doorways and walls, transporters can also be found in the maze. These will instantly teleport you to a new location, and on many levels you will need to figure how to use them correctly to get past otherwise dead ends. Different types of Deathbots guard the passages; and you'll need to use the various weapons you find lying about to get past them, before they destroy you. You have a limited amount of energy. Each time you are hit by enemy fire or by a Deathbot, your energy depletes. Lose all of of your energy and a life is lost. And of course, each level ends with a large boss Deathbot. Good luck on your mission!
Strap into the cockpit of the Cobra – the most powerful tank ever built – and experience first-person VR combat across neon-scarred sci-fi landscapes in an explosive campaign for 1-4 players.

The bitter taste of defeat in the district semifinals may still linger a bit for Chiefland High baseball coach Kyle Parnell, but the big picture tells the veteran mentor that 2008 was still something special.
When you finish 18-4, you have to be doing a lot of things right.
Parnell is mighty proud of the accomplishments of this year's bunch when he looks back at the number of quality players he lost to graduation in 2007.
"We came in with new players in six of the nine positions," said Parnell, who was 19-7 in 2007.

Two men rescued from capsized boat
(Auburn Twp., Geauga County) -- Two men who were believed to be fishing on Geauga County's LaDue Reservoir ended up in the water Thursday morning when their boat capsized, and they were rescued by a passing state trooper.
Mike Cardeman, the assistant fire chief in Auburn Township, tells WTAM 1100 that they got a call about 8:15 a.m. Thursday that a state trooper on the US 422 causeway over the reservoir saw the men in the water after their boat apparently capsized. The trooper threw a rope to the two men and pulled them to shore along the causeway.
Auburn fire crews then responded to finish the rescue. Cardeman says the two men checked out okay medically, and were not sent to the hospital. He says they were fortunate, given that the men had been in the water about a half hour, and hypothermia could have eventually set in. He also says that the reservoir's waters can get rough fairly quickly, making it a lot more dangerous than boaters may think.
The boat belonging to the two men was washed up against rocks along the causeway, and will be recovered later.

Eric Schmidt Sounds Off on How Google is Beating Apple, and Other Topics
Jason Mick
December 13, 2012 6:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Former CEO defends Google using Caribbean tax shelter
While Q3 smartphone sales numbers are slightly deceptive as the much-anticipated Apple, Inc. (
iPhone 5
was yet to launch, it's hard to deny that Google Inc. (
) brightly outpaced its rival
in unit sales
, with Google's Android taking 72 percent of the market, versus a mere 14 percent for Apple. In a new interview, former Google CEO
Eric Schmidt
says that equated to 1.3 million Android smartphones activated a day, a key to Google outselling its rival 5-to-1.
I. Google v. Apple == Microsoft v. Apple Computer?
He compares his company's war against Apple to Microsoft Corp.'s (
) successful campaign against Apple Computer back in the 1980s and 1990s. He
remarks to
, "This is a huge platform change; this is of the scale of 20 years ago -- Microsoft versus Apple. We're winning that war pretty clearly now."
To Eric Schmidt, the sales triumph is vindication of Google's decision to give away Android to third party OEMs, versus Apple's policy of zealously possessive in-house efforts. Comments Mr. Schmidt, "The core strategy is to make a bigger pie. We will end up with a not perfectly controlled and not perfectly managed bigger pie by virtue of open systems."
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt claims Apple is repeating its own painful history.
[Image Source: The Sydney Morning Herald]
As for his company's and the general economy's outlook, he says he sees signs for optimism in the Chinese recovery. But he warns that
the so-called "fiscal cliff"
-- a series of automatic tax increases and spending cuts -- could kill a similar emerging recovery in the U.S.
He warns, "It will be tragic for the country if the sum of the government can't resolve this. You can think of what's going on as one set of special interests versus another, and a big fight and they all have to feel like they've been heard."
He sees Europe as another soft spot, saying that region will struggle to recover as southern nations like Spain, Italy, and Greece dangle on the edge of financial insolvency.
II. Schmidt on Gov't Regulation, Taxes
Mr. Schmidt defends his company's decision to shuffle $9.8B USD to a shell company in Bermuda
to escape $2B USD in taxes
from countries like the U.S., UK, France, and Australia.
He comments, "We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways. I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate. It's called capitalism. We are proudly capitalistic. I'm not confused about this."
Schmidt says nothing's wrong with Google using a tax shelter. [Image Source: Hook Worldwide]
On the topic of spectrum crunch, which AT&T, Inc. (
) and others
have bemoaned
, Mr. Schmidt says it is a real problem, but that smart antennas may be able to help. He comments, "[True] all the modeling says the existing strategy will run out of cellular bandwidth in 2016 or 2017. [But] today you get dedicated bandwidth on your phone, and your phone doesn't say, 'Ah ha! I can go over here or over up here.' Smart radios can do that."
Google+ was also plugged by the former chief executive, which calls a "viable competitor to Facebook", thanks to its 100 million active users.
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Um, no. You got frozen because you were talking about a religious figure, which is not allowed at all. So I'm guessing you tried to appeal your warning, instead of just following the rules, and you were frozen.
...When I was a wee tike, 14 years old. xD I got a warning because I got reported for talking about Jesus, SOOO In my smart head...I started an argument with the Administrator!... I got banned the next day. But hey, I got them extreamily mad, because I literally confused them with my advanced skills in knowledge, and I guess they just couldn't win the fight, SOOO they banned my account, afraid to lose.
Wusses. =P
They didn't freeze you because you were "too smart for them"

First account - She was scamming. She deserved it.
Second Account - She was posting chain letters. She should be smart enough to know better.
Third Account - She though it was funny to quote the band camp line from American Pie.
Shes so far managed to keep her fourth out of trouble. /facepalm
I have managed to get myself into religious debates on there before, never once had a warning. I've been lucky. The moderators are not very consistent about banning and suspending. Sometimes it seems as if they do nothing, and other times they bring down the ban hammer so fast you can't blink.
These days I only go onto zap my pets with the lab ray now when I remember, I don't chat.

The second season of performances at the Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center has begun. The 2012-2013 season is filled with an exciting and diverse selection of programming, including the new Americana Series featuring county, bluegrass, folk, and gospel performers, as well as Broadway musicals, improvisational comedies, and award-winning poets.
The season kicks off with a performance by the Mallarme Chamber Players, a flexible ensemble of professionals based in Durham, N.C., whose mission is to enrich the lives of the community through outstanding chamber music. The performance will be held in the Black Box Theatre at 2 p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 29.
Performing in the Black Box Theater at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, is Allan Wolf. Wolf performs poetry from memory with a theatrical flair and in the tradition of Appalachian storytellers with just a simple table and chair onstage. He opens with a high-energy poem chosen especially for the audience at hand, followed by a montage of shorter pieces in a wide variety of styles and subjects. Tickets for this event are $18 for adults and $8 for students.
On Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m., Fiddler on the Roof, one of the great works of American Musical Theatre, takes the stage. This story of a father who must choose between his daughters' happiness and the beloved Jewish religious traditions that keep the outside world at bay, includes such classics as "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" and "If I Were a Rich Man." Tickets start at $48.
On Oct. 27, the Fairfield Four will appear. The group is the most distinguished proponent of traditional African American a cappella gospel singing today. Best known from their appearance in and on the soundtrack of the 2000 hit film, O Brother Where Art Thou, the group will take the stage of the PAC at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $28.
The Performing Arts Center's October events conclude with An Evening with Frank Vignola on Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. This performance from the extraordinary guitarist Frank Vignola, careens across the musical spectrum from jazz standards to opera, classic rock to contemporary pop, Latin to R&B, classical to swing, with even a smidgen of boy band choreography tossed in for a good chuckle. Vignola has worked with Madonna, Wynton Marsalis, Tommy Emmanuel, the Boston Pops, and guitar legend Les Paul. Tickets start at $23.
Tickets for all the shows may be purchased at www.fmupac.org, via telephone at (843) 661-4444, and at the FMU Performing Arts Center Box Office. Telephone and personal ticket sales are available Monday through Friday between 12-5 p.m. Subject to availability, tickets may be available for purchase at the door.
The PAC is located in downtown Florence at the intersection of Dargan and Evans Streets.

NFL Draft > 2011 Prospects > RB > Noel Devine
Noel Devine Scouting Report
|West Virginia Mountaineers
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'8 - 176 lbs.
2011 NFL Combine Results
|Bench press
2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Noel Devine, RB, West Virginia
There is no doubt that Noel Devine is one of the most exciting running backs in all of college football. However, NFL teams will look at his 5-8, 176 pound frame and wonder where he will fit in their system. That means Devine should probably return to West Virginia for his senior season, but he still has one more game during his junior campaign to show his stuff. Devine is known for randomly having a huge game; if that happens on New Year's Day against Florida State in the Gator Bowl, NFL scouts will think twice about passing him over. Devine's abilities have always been well known, but during his freshman campaign he had to share the ball with quarterback Pat White and running back Steve Slaton. Normally that would not leave many carries for a little freshman, but Devine carried the ball 73 times for 627 yards and six scores. That is an average of 8.6 yards per carry. In 2008 Slaton was off in the NFL and Devine proved that he could be more than just a change of pace back. He carried the load and ran for 1,289 yards on 206 carries. The story has been the same so far in 2009 as Devine finished up the regular season with 1,297 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Devine's size will be an issue, but this a player that can be a second back and a kick-off returner in the NFL right away. If he does go to the NFL, he should be a second round selection.

Prediction: 1st Round
Well Noel devine didn't get drafted he should have. Most people think he's to little but if he's so little how does he bench over 400 lbs. I don't understand it because Darren sproles is little to but guess what he got drafted. It's the same thing for jock sanders from West Virginia he should've got drafted to because the same reason. I just don't understand why him and jock sanders didn't get drafted.

'But from afar there was a distinct difference, as the black puck seemed to stand out well on its powder-blue backdrop, especially when it slid along the orange ''blue'' lines. ''I think the orange lines really stood out,'' said Rochester forward Derek Roy, who watched the game from the press box after he was given the night off. ''I think that was a positive. But overall, it didn't look that much different. It looked like everyone adapted and everyone liked it.'''

Wingate, N.C. - Lindsay Shaeffer was undefeated on the afternoon and Claire Dillman finished up the regular season undefeated in conference singles action, but the Tornados were unable to top the Bulldogs in falling at the WU Tennis Complex on Friday afternoon, 6-3.
The Tornados fall to 14-7, 7-2 in conference play, while Wingate improves to 19-1, 9-0 in SAC competition.
Shaeffer and Lindsay Hostetter put the Tornados on the board early, defeating Kara Stasikelis and Kelli Ferguson on court no. 1, 8-6. Wingate rallied to take the next two points as Morgan Winston and Olivia Poole topped Jennifer Nyman and Elise Labus, 8-6 and Ali Evers and Samantha Alschlager gave Wingate the lead with their 8-6 win over Dillman and Michelle Prata.
Evers put Wingate up 3-1 with her three set win over Hostetter on court no. 2, winning 6-0, 3-6, 6-3. Shaeffer evened up the singles scores with her 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 triumph over Stasikelis and Dillman improved to 9-0 in conference action with her three set thriller over Winston, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 to tie the match up at three apiece.
However, Wingate would take the final three singles matches, with Ferguson winning in two sets, while Poole and Helen Goreski won three-set battles to end the match.
The Tornados earn the three-seed in the 2011 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament, falling in the tiebreaker to Mars Hill due to their loss to the Lions earlier in the season. Brevard will face six-seed Tusculum College on Wednesday, April 20th, with doubles competition at the Rock Hill Tennis Center set to begin at 1 p.m.
Singles competition
1. Lindsay Shaeffer (BCW) def. Kara Stasikelis (WIN) 5-7, 6-3, 6-4

Hospital Stay
I am wondering when I should start preparing for my hospital stay. When should I start packing. I'm a little worried about not being ready in case the baby decides to come early but I don't want to pack to soon. It's not a very important question but I was just wondering what advice some of you had. Thank you.

Hi Lovelyjoy02,
Our resident midwife, Jane, suggestions that you start thinking about what you'll pack for the hospital at 34 weeks. That's about 1 1/2 months before baby is due.
She is often asked the question "what do I take to the hospital?" so she posted a whole list here on her website.
One thing that you may find helpful is laying items out on the bed in a spare bedroom or in the corner of a room. This way you can easily see what you have as you start to collect what you'll take to the hospital. You can also use some items like underwear, night clothes or address book as needed.
I never packed a hospital bag because I had all 5 babies at home and figured that if I needed to be transferred, that my midwife and husband would bring what I needed to the hospital for me but I've since learned that it's always a good idea to be prepared... just in case
Warm Regards,

'"I love our team and I love our players," Mair said. "When you look at the young players we've signed to long-term contracts, you can see that Darcy and upper management believe in those players. It would go against the plan to deviate and start bringing in new players because we missed the playoffs by two points."'

Regier: Sabres veterans on the spot
'"I think our fans like watching players like Derek Roy, Thomas Vanek, Jason Pominville, Ryan Miller, Patrick Kaleta and Paul Gaustad," Regier said. "The fans appreciate what those players bring. They know we missed the playoffs two years in a row after going to the conference final twice in a row. We're not a young team but we are continuing to develop this group of players. We're pushing hard for them to grow together and care for each other, take responsibility for themselves and their teammates."'

I have Windows 7 64bit – Microsoft Office 10.Whenever I go to Excel or Word and try to send something by email, I get the following message: "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action, please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Program control panel."
I use Gmail as my email, and have tried to create an association in default program but to no success, please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you.
It's not you, it's Windows. When you try to send a document from Word or Excel, the program looks for an e-mail program like Outlook. Microsoft Office doesn't know how to connect with a web-based mail client like Gmail.
You could buy a "helper" program like Affixa to help your Windows programs communicate with webmail. However, the easiest solution is to simply save your document on your computer, then open up Gmail and attach the document to the message you wish to send.
Hope this helps – Cynthia

Topic: My VERY naughty kitty
I think my kitties went into a big funk while I was in the hospital and Hans spent most of his time there with me. I have to share because it is too funny...
Our new little boy started doing his number 2's on the bathroom floor in front of the litter box. My poor dad who gags at all things pooh related picked up 4 presents in one day.
And Monkey's most naughty behavior, he pawed off 3 keys off my husbands laptop and then tried to get a fourth one while my dad was online. I dont think Hans finds it as funny as I do.
Normalcy has returned to catland now that everyone is home and poops are all in their proper place. Life is good.

By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press
It's May. Memorial Day and the end of the school year are in sight. Suddenly, you're thinking about a summer vacation. A little planning — and some insider tips — can save you a lot of money. Whether you're booking airfare, a car rental or a hotel room, there are questions you should ask first.
Air travel
Q: When is the best time to buy airfare?
A: There is no overarching rule, but generally the sweet spot for buying is four to six weeks before you travel. Prices are highest eight to 10 weeks and two to three weeks in advance. However, start your search earlier, if possible. Learn what fares tend to be on a route so you can jump on a deal when one appears. Timing it right can save a family hundreds of dollars. And remember, with most fares you now have 24 hours to cancel for any reason. Use that to your advantage.
Rental cars
Q: Do I need rental car insurance?
A: The rental firms sell collision damage waiver (CDW) insurance for up to $25 extra a day. It offers protection from theft, vandalism or other damage. It's a major source of revenue. Decide whether you need this insurance long before you get to the counter.
Your personal insurance policy likely covers rental cars. It probably also extends liability insurance to your rental, which you also need. But confirm this well ahead of time with your insurer.
Many credit cards offer rental car insurance. Some offer primary insurance. Most only cover what your personal insurance does not. And cards have plenty of exclusions. If you are renting for more than two weeks or traveling to Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Australia, Italy or New Zealand, you might not be covered. Exotic and luxury cars, some vans, motorcycles and SUVs aren't covered.
Your card probably doesn't cover the rental company's "loss-of-use" fee — a surcharge for the revenue lost while the vehicle is in the shop. Some personal insurance policies cover this, some don't.
Pay for the rental with the card that gives you the best protection. Debit cards typically don't offer the same coverage.
As for liability insurance, if you don't have a personal policy you should probably buy this extra coverage, which costs a few hundred dollars. Or if you rent frequently, insurance companies will sell you annual non-owner car insurance policies.
Q: How can I save a few bucks on my stay?
A: Ask about extra charges. Parking at some hotels might be $10 a night, while big city hotels can charge in excess of $50. Internet access might cost $10 a day or more. Many big hotels also have a mandatory resort fee — that includes Internet, phone calls and use of the pool — that can run $25 a night or more.
Look for savings on food and drink. Hotel chains such as Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express offer free breakfasts. Others offer free bottled water in the room.
Join the frequent guest program. Omni, Fairmont and Kimpton all give program members free Wi-Fi — even those who have yet to spend a night. Fairmont gives its members free access to its health clubs. Kimpton gives a $10 credit toward snacks in its minibars.
Big chains typically run summer promotions. They offer loyalty club members rewards like a $25 gas card or a free future night after just two stays.

Bowling for Addition
When you don't want to wear rented shoes at the bowling alley, try whipping up this homemade water bottle bowling set! Help your first grader improve his math skills while having hours of fun at the same time. Play this on a family game night, a rainy day, or at a party and it's sure to bring a smile to everyone's face. This game is great for all ages!
Click to find similar content by grade or subject.
What You Need:
- 10 assorted clean, empty plastic water or soda bottles
- White paper
- Scissors
- Clear tape
- Permanent marker
- Lightweight ball (volleyball, tennis ball, etc). If you're desperate, you can use an orange or grapefruit!
- Notepad and pen
What You Do:
- Cut wide bands out of the paper for each soda bottle, and number each one with different point values from 1 to 10.
- Wrap one strip of paper around each bottle, and have your child tape it down for you.
- Arrange the bottles in a triangular shape at the end of a long hallway or uncarpeted room, with one pin in the front, two behind it, three behind those and so on.
- Divide a page in the notepad into columns, one for each player. Write each person's name at the top of the column so that you can keep score of everybody's points.
- Now play! Take turns rolling the ball towards the pins and see how many you can knock over in one try! Count up the numbers on each pin that gets knocked over and recruit your child to help you keep score so he can practice his addition. Whoever gets the most points wins! Make some victory snacks to enjoy together when the game is over.
- If you want to make the game a little more challenging, try filling the bottles with a small amount of sand so they're harder to knock over!

Thread: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
"Unable to perform duties to the abilities of other runningbacks"
Which is true but Ouch! Harsh
Although I have a hard time believing he doesn't realize that his contract was also a major reason.
Re: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
Yikes, they gave him a letter when he was cut with that message
Bit classless if true.
Maybe classless is the wrong word, it hurts anyway
And he was compared to the other running backs. He doesn't say running backs around the league, just the running backs
Rice ok but not up to the level of McClain and Parmele? Realy?
I wonder if Kevin Byrne or someone in the team will reply on this
He was cut, why not send him away on a good note and wish him well
Re: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
Well, first all, my internet connection's shit so I didn't watch the video, but I think the Ravens were wrong if they thought R Williams was an upgrade over Willis. Now, obviously, Williams was more cost effective so I think therein lies the reason for their decision, but based solely on ability, it's hard not to say we'd be better w Willis over Ricky.

Re: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
I don't know for sure, but it is possible that when you cut somebody under contract you have to give a reason and this is standard language for "we are cutting you." Ricky Williams is not better than Willis, but he does a great job as a back up and is over a million dollars cheaper than Willis.
Willis being released had more to do with the Ravens salary cap and the fact that Rice is the man than anything to do with Willis' abilities.
Re: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
I'm at work and can't watch the video, and I'd be curious to hear someone with a little behind the scenes knowledge, but on the face of it, this strikes me as a procedural thing. As in, we have to officially notify you in writing that you're being cut, and we have to have an official reason other than salary being too high. Seems to me Willis is just using this as a motivational exercise. Personally I don't think the Ravens did him wrong or owed him anything more than that, he didn't perform up to the cost of the picks spent to acquire him, nor the contract he had while he was here. Tempest in a teapot if you ask me.Never get in a fight with a pig; you both get muddy, and the pig likes it...

Re: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
Harbaugh told at some point this season early on, which at that time seemed a bit strange.. that McGahee was the one they wanted back if it was possible, not the more popular Heap, Gregg and Mason. The CAP did not make it possible.
Re: What The Ravens Tolds McGahee
He earned $3.6million in 2010, while Rice earned $600k. I don't why he's talking smack about the Ravens organization. The coaching staff lengthened his career by splitting his carries with younger players. Plux, the club paid him like a starter even though he wasn't.
Have a nice time in NE, buddy. I hope your team wins, so the Ravens get another home playoff game after they dispose of the Texans.After 5 years of early exits, the journey is finally complete.
