Many onlookers and spectators expected Saturday�s season opener between ECU and Old Dominion to be an offensive showcase.
That it was in a 52-38 Pirates� victory.
GREENVILLE � Many onlookers and spectators expected Saturday�s season opener between ECU and Old Dominion to be an offensive showcase.
That it was in a 52-38 Pirates� victory.
What was not expected were the career-best statistics posted by two ECU junior stars.
Quarterback Shane Carden was 46-of-54 (85 percent) with 447 passing yards and five touchdowns.
Carden broke his own school record of 439 passing yards that he set last season against Marshall.
�I had no idea that I was close to the record,� Carden said. �Someone mentioned to me after the game that I had broken the old guy�s record and I said �well I guess the old guy wasn�t good enough.� I just want to continue to grow and get better and hopefully I can break it again next week.�
Carden was locked into a quarterback duel with Old Dominion�s Taylor Heinicke, who put up 338 yards through the air on 38-for-51 passing and three touchdowns.
Between the two gunslingers, 105 passes were thrown with zero interceptions.
Lost in all of the offense was that ECU benefited from two fumbles that were returned for touchdowns, that turned out to be the 14-point difference in the game.
�One thing we learned last year is that whether it is a special teams play or their offense making a big play against our defense, we as an offense can�t control any of that,� Carden said. �All we can control is what we do on the field. We have to do that and control what we can control and play the best offense we can play.�
Carden�s favorite target in the win, Justin Hardy, tied his career best with 16 catches and set a new career high with 191 receiving yards.
�It felt great to be able to have my career high here at Dowdy-Ficklen in front of our fans,� Hardy said. �Shane (Carden) was great tonight and having him as a starting quarterback from the beginning and after we got accustomed to each other last year, we have a great connection.�
Hardy�s 191 receiving yards in a single game ranks only behind Terry Gallaher in ECU history, who had 218 yards versus Appalachian State in 1975.
Hardy also moves into second place all-time in receptions at ECU with 168, 100 catches behind all-time leader Dwayne Harris, now of the Dallas Cowboys.
ECU coach Ruffin McNeill was quick to complement his quarterback after his record-setting performance.
�Shane�s gift is his footwork and his ability to extend plays. You have to have that nowadays as a quarterback,� McNeill said. �You won�t make it just sitting in one place, teams are too good.�
For Hardy, McNeill said that his performance was a testament to how much he has matured and how hard he has worked in the Pirate offense.
�Justin (Hardy) does what a receiver is expected to do in this offense when they mature,� McNeill said. �What he was able to do tonight shows his maturity and how hard he works in this offense.�
The Pirates (1-0) have a quick turnaround before a Thursday night game at home at 7:30 p.m.
They will take on the Florida Atlantic Owls, who were crushed 34-6 by Miami in their opener. The game will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

Before & After: An Orange Stenciled Accent Wall
Though Chancie liked her grouping of orange artwork, she wasn't always crazy about all the individual pieces and felt that the wall needed something extra to make it pop. She was hoping to use wallpaper, but when she realized that it wasn't in her budget she created a bright stencil pattern instead.
Initially she wasn't sure about the high-contrast pattern, but after minimizing the amount of art on the wall she grew to love the playful color in the room. Applying the stencil was labor-intensive, but far less pricey than the four rolls of wallpaper she would have needed instead. To see more of Chancie's original wall, see our post on Grouping Artwork by Color.

STOCKTON - Like it or not, take it seriously or not, laugh at it or not, Stockton is back in the Top 10 on Forbes' annual list ranking America's most miserable cities.
STOCKTON - Like it or not, take it seriously or not, laugh at it or not, Stockton is back in the Top 10 on Forbes' annual list ranking America's most miserable cities.
Bankruptcy and a record-breaking year of homicides will do that. Stockton is No. 8 on the 2013 list. The city, 11th last year, topped Forbes' rankings in 2009 and 2011.
Mayor Anthony Silva isn't laughing.
"Stockton has endless opportunities and potential," he said. "The people here are wonderful. The local economy is struggling a bit like a lot of places, but we're going to get out of it.
"My goal is to get off all those lists."
Silva pointed Friday to another ranking - the worst-run cities in America, compiled by 247wallst.com. Stockton is No. 3 this year.
"Probably, right now, we deserve to be on those lists, but our goal is to get off them," the mayor said. "On my business cards, I've taken off the 'All-America City' wording. Hopefully we will earn it again - maybe we'll earn it again two years from now.
"I've got to be optimistic."
In its description of the city, Forbes said, "Stockton became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy protection last year. The city is burdened with the highest foreclosure rate in the U.S. and ranks among the five worst for unemployment and crime."
A national Misery Index was first developed in the 1960s by economist Arthur Okun. It combined the impacts of joblessness and inflation.
Forbes has added to the criteria. Under the guidance of senior staff writer Kurt Badenhausen, the magazine measures violent crime, unemployment, foreclosures, taxes, home prices, commute times, weather and residential migration. The survey looks at the 200 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Stockton, with 297,000 residents, is the nation's 63rd largest city, according to the latest U.S. Census estimate.
Forbes proclaimed Detroit the most miserable city for 2013, saying its "problems continue to multiply, sadly."
Miami, No. 1 a year ago, dropped out of the Top 10, while two of the nation's largest cities - No. 4 Chicago and No. 10 New York - made the list.
Last year, Sacramento was fifth in the country. The state capital didn't even make the Top 10 this time around. Modesto, however, is ranked fifth on the 2013 - three spots above Stockton.
Said Forbes: "Foreclosures continue to plague Modesto with 6,859 foreclosure filings in 2012, according to RealtyTrac. It represents 3.8 percent of homes, which is the third highest rate in the U.S."
No. 6 on the list was Vallejo, another California city to have declared bankruptcy and just emerging from that fiscal black eye.
Silva took no comfort in the misery of either Modesto or Vallejo.
"In order to change Stockton's image, we need to do more than bulletin boards and websites," he said. "We need to do something bold to attack crime - we need innovative things and more police officers on the street. We need to make our streets safer.
"There's a lot of work to be done right now."

With interest rates arguably at their lowest levels in 5000 years amid weak economic growth, investors and policymakers are questioning whether the long-term, natural rate of interest will be persistently low and constrain returns across asset classes. Saker Nusseibeh, Chief Executive, and Eoin Murray, Head of Investments at Hermes Investment Management, take a closer in look in their white paper, Breaking with (un)convention - asset allocation for a future with lower market returns, and believe that this has profound implications for institutional investors with long time horizons.
Institutional investors' current and future decisions about which asset classes they should favour, and the methods of implementation, will be pivotal. Nusseibeh and Murray argue that long-term investors will need to make a radical response.

Mountain High Family Dental & Orthodontics
elevated dentistry
We Are The Best Choice For All Of Your Family's Dental & Orthodontic
Needs In Park City.
A "higher" standard of dentistry, from the quality of our practice to the elevation at which we practice our dentistry… leading us to this 'elevated" positioning. We practice a "higher" standard of dentistry - supported by everything from the dentists themselves to the state-of-the-art new offices, so we want to utilize the double-entendre of "elevation" in a manner similar to how Utah has positioned itself as 'Life Elevated'.
Mountain High Family Dental & Orthodontics
elevated dentistry
This is a positioning that MHD&O can "own" in Park City and position beautifully against the competition. The idea would be to incorporate the two words into the logo/signage itself, and expound upon what "elevated dentistry" means in our marketing.
Families, with primarily adult/females the key decision maker in whom the family trusts for their dental needs. This is a very competitive, upscale market with many choices in dental practices, so we want to differentiate ourselves with an eye-catching, contemporary yet beautiful logo that plays off of our name, Mountain High, and our positioning, "elevated dentistry."
We are looking for a clean, simple, eye-catching logo to represent our "high standard" dental practice. We would love the logo to incorporate a "mountain" feel or graphic, and also to show how the positioning statement of "elevated dentistry" will work within the logo (it's our intention to always use the tagline with the logo, so it can be below or separated, but we still want to see a type treatment). No cartoons or characters please. Clear, typeface, simple and bold - stands out but not too fancy as this is a medical profession in an upscale town.
We will need all files for print (.ai (CMYK) as well as web format (.jpg and layered .psd (RGB). We also intend to animate the logo and have it come to life in local TV, so anything you can do to help us with that upon delivery is much appreciated!

Lin Wellford's Painted Garden Art Anyone Can Do
Ok, so it is not actually a 'new' book (2007) but it is oh so cute! Lin Wellford has been writing books for years about painting rocks, but this one is by far the most fun for your garden. She takes the regular rocks, blocks, borders and stones that you can find at any home garden center and turns them into fish, alligators, iguanas, caterpillars, elephants, flowers, turtles and many other things as well. My favorite is the fish pond, all the beauty and none of the maintenance. One of the best features of this book is how easy it is to follow her directions and do it yourself. She gives step-by-step instructions and even has stencils in the back of the book. So if you want to jazz up your yard or garden come by the The Library at Birmingham Botanical Gardens and check it out.
The Library at The Gardens is open Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and Sunday 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. Click here to learn more about how you can participate in the Thyme to Read book club, exploring the larget horticulture library in the nation or email Hope Long at email@example.com or call 205-414-3931.

Propellerhead\'s Teaching Music with Reason
This product provides a new way of teaching music in the classroom and incorporates 21 ready made lesson plans with all the necessary background reading the teacher needs, i.e. no background of teaching music with computers or with Reason is necessary!
The package also includes Student booklets for the students with lesson plans and special \"How to…\" guides which step by step explains what to do. The material is written in such a way that no flicking in the manual is needed and everything (even the student pages) is included in the Teacher's resource file. This also means that it's very easy to bring your whole music teaching plan with you wherever you go, to do lesson preparation or go through a lesson plan in advance.
The resource file also includes assessment sheets for tests and grading of each student. Specially written music ensures that the students will work with music they are used to listening to and enjoy!
The included Adapted versions ensure the focus of the students providing them with a reasonable sound bank with a few sounds of each type. Having a huge sound bank would make the students look for sounds instead of doing their tasks during the lesson.
The Adapted version also ensures that each song opens with only the relevant modules visible and the rest folded away for further focus from the students. All in all this package will provide teachers with a new, easy to use, fun to teach tool that will make a big difference: -Music lessons will never be the same!

As opposed to Football I Game Day, 2011, which would mean you've downloaded the original Mattel Electronics game onto your iPad and you're either playing or waiting for someone else to run across the screen several times to score a touchdown, prompting that electronic tune that seemed to be a TD dance unto itself.
Could see a lot of that tonight.
FIU vs. North Texas on Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium.
Preseason projections: The Sporting News picks FIU as the outright Sun Belt winner. Sports Illustrated says FIU, Troy and Louisiana-Monroe all hit the line 8-4 overall and 7-1 in the conference. Lindy's and Athlon both take Troy with FIU second, Athlon's predicting FIU with a 6-2 conference record and 7-5 record overall. Conversely, North Texas is picked as high as third (Sporting News) and as low as eighth (Lindy's) with SI and Athlon's both putting them sixth at 4-8 overall and 4-4 in conference.
The game: The first 4,000 in the house get a free football schedule magnet to hold those pizza coupons on the door until late the first weekend night after they expire, when you rediscover them because you've got the munchies and Triscuits aren't getting it done.
The significant number for the North Texas offense is 299.6. That's the average poundage of their offensive line starters, a number dragged down by 275-pound center J.J. Johnson and left tackle Matt Tomlinson, 6-5, 298, who might be their best lineman. The Mean Green will keep handing the ball to 5-9, 209-pound Lance Dunbar and try to punk FIU with power and bulk. If this results in long drives that suck the life out of The Cage, well, that's the point, now isn't it? With 6-4 Derek Thompson at quarterback, expect North Texas to make a few plays off the scramble as well as the play action pass. FIU's defensive speed won't be tested as much as the quickness of the front seven. North Texas will put up more than the 10 points of last year's 34-10 FIU win.
But it won't be enough.
North Texas' new defensive coordinator Clint Bowen was the DC at Western Kentucky last year, where an OK Sun Belt defense held FIU to 28 points in a 28-21 FIU win. Tonight, like a stud poker player slowly pulling cards from his sleeve, FIU reveals what they've learned of this expanded version of the offense over the last year. Once the Golden Panthers get the Mean Green going with runs at the defensive ends, look for them to occasionally go back the other way with quick, play action hitches and screens. Don't bet against them, from there, setting up a hitch-and-go bomb.
"21 (North Texas cornerback Royce Hill), I know he's a great cover guy," FIU's T.Y. Hilton said. "He loves bump-and-run. He's got great speed."
So do FIU's receivers. Wesley Carroll completes only 13-to-15 passes, but he averages around 18 yards per completion. A kickoff return touchdown ignites pandemonium late, but an interception return for a touchdown not long after puts North Texas next to Glass Joe. FIU gallops to a 47-24 win that's not as easy as the score makes it look.
To paraphrase an ex-girlfriend, that's one black man's opinion. I surely could be wrong.
The NCAA approved two hardship waivers in two days earlier this week. The second one allowed Salt Lake City native Lewis Walker, who played in 24 games over two seasons with Hawaii, to play this season after transferring to Utah. The first one put tight end Mike McFarland, from the Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area, closer to the field for South Florida after leaving Gainesville. According to the St. Pete Times, McFarland cited a family illness as why he wanted to be closer to home.
Does this mean the NCAA's feeling like Don Corleone on his daughter's wedding day and be willing to let running back Daquan Hargrett and/or wide receiver James Louis do their thing for FIU this year?
Don't know, but Hargrett's one more of what FIU already has -- a short, fast back you use as part of a rotation. Louis, on the other hand, is a true talent. That he didn't play at Ohio State -- kind of a good football school with a tradition of tremendous college wide receivers -- as a freshman doesn't dim that he would be a dynamic addition, once he gets into football shape and hold of the offense.
A few recruits will be floating around The Cage at Camp Mitch on unofficial visits Thursday. Look for the official visits to start with the Saturday night games. No word on any more early commits -- yet.
The Herald's preseason football sections came out today. Please realize the deadlines on those were over a week ago, thus affecting the prognastications and the accuracy of several other details. Writers rarely get excited about what they scribble for the special sections and this is no exception as far as me and what I wrote. OK Apple Jacks reading, not up to Real Reading Room standards.

At some point within the next hour or so, owners will vote on the suddenly-controversial rule that would prevent offensive and defensive players from initiating contact with the crown of the helmet in the open field.
As we mentioned last night, the current expectation is that the proposal will be tabled until May, which means it could be passed in May, it could be voted down in May, or it could disappear.
Coaches have concerns about the rule, but the coaches don't make the rules. As the coaches learned three years ago, when owners changed the overtime rules for the postseason while the coaches were playing golf.
The problem from the coaches' and players' perspective, as Vikings coach Leslie Frazier explained it Wednesday morning at the NFC head coaches' breakfast (during which the coaches don't really get to do much breaking of the fast), is that players operate on instinct. When running backs in the open field have to consciously consider about how they'll initiate contact, they may not ever get to the open field.
For the league, letting this specific cat out of the bag becomes problematic if the cat can't be controlled. With the NFL concerned about future litigation from present players, it doesn't help to talk openly about a proposed safety chance and then to not implement it.
So it's a dilemma. A conundrum. And potentially, a cluster made of fudge.

Virginia State High School Tennis Champ Comes Out
Virginia AA State High School Tennis Champion Mikey Drougas has come out as gay in an inspired message posted to friends and fans on Twitter. According to Drougas, he hasn't received a single negative response since coming out last week.
"I guess I don't really know how to start this note," Mikey wrote. "Not really even sure why I am writing it to you all. Whatever the motivation, I'm so blessed to say what I am about to on my own terms."
"Not fitting stereotypes is nice sometimes," he continued. "I have been able to avoid a lot of ignorant bullshit growing up. I'm very lucky in that respect. Maybe I feel an obligation to speak up and not stay in the shadows anymore or maybe it's because I am starting to feel comfortable in my own skin. Never in my life have I ever felt truly open or free, through this note I see liberation at the end of the tunnel. That's dope. I wouldn't be the person I am now without the angels who heard my story two years ago and accepted me for who I am. You are always with me as a friendly reminder that it does indeed get better even when darkness is all I see."
Congrats, Mikey!

Kevin Carmony, the former CEO of Linspire, is quite direct about the news on his blog.
This will end up being a completely insignificant event for Linspire shareholders, and the end for Linspire customers. I predict this was done to: 1) help Robertson drain the company of its cash and resources. When I left Linspire, we had a very profitable year and the company had millions in the bank. I predict Robertson has moved this money to himself, family, and his other companies, leaving Linspire's minority shareholders with nothing. 2) help Robertson save face by issuing a "Linspire Acquired by Xandros!" press release, instead of living with the public humiliation that Linspire failed under his leadership. Such a press release will of course be meaningless, unless the acquisition was substantial. As a shareholder, I will eventually find out. 3) Give Xandros (also seemingly on life support) a press release, and perhaps some way for them to spin this to investors to raise money.
To me, I'm not really sure if I really even care - in fact, I'd be surprised to see many of you care at all. Xandros and Linspire seem to have added little to the Linux desktop world in the end, and while both of them had a few strong points, they were in the end eclipsed by Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. While Xandros may have made some good press by coming pre-installed on Asus' EeePC, it didn't give them a truly massive boost in revenue stream. "The company is not making money hand over fist it has been realizing "a very nice revenue stream from its Asus systems"."
All I have to say: feel free to wow me.

There are two repeater sites in the Davidson County Sheriff's radio system. One for the North (Midway), and one in the South on a mountain near the Flat Swamp area. Both repeaters output on 460.075 with a 162.2Hz PL. The North repeater has a PL input of 162.2 Hz. The South repeater has a different INPUT PL, but the same output PL. Some of the older DCSO HTs have a PL switch on the top marked N/S. The newer DCSO HT's have both repeaters programmed as separate channels but the older DCSO HT's transmit on a different PL to acess the repeater.

The medical field is awash in digital images. Doctors rely on X-rays, CT Scans, MRIs and standard digital images to make diagnoses and to teach students. But cluttered databases pose a challenge to medical professionals using these resources and for information technologists who create the systems.
"One of the problems of having all these images is how do we retrieve them?" says Anne Haake, professor of information sciences and technologies in the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences. "There is a real need to make those images useful. It's all part of the push to use computers to improve the way medicine is practiced."
While on sabbatical at the National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine, Haake saw the need for image databases built on input from the intended end-users and designed from the beginning with flexible interfaces. To address this, Haake is applying funding she won from the National Science Foundation and the NIH to develop a prototype database using input from dermatologists on images of skin conditions. The NSF is funding visual perception research using eye tracking and the design of a content-based image retrieval system accessible through touch, gaze, voice and gesture; the NIH portion will be used to fuse image understanding and medical knowledge.
Focusing on dermatology draws on Haake's previous experiences as a developmental biologist at the University of Rochester, where she conducted skin research before pursuing computing and biomedical informatics.
Joining Haake is Cara Calvelli, M.D., a former UR colleague and a professor in RIT's physician assistant program. Calvelli has recruited dermatologists, residents and physician assistant students for the project. She is also helping to properly describe the sample images, some of which come from her own collection.
Haake's team includes Jeff Pelz, co-director of the Multidisciplinary Vision Research Laboratory in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, who is leading the eye-tracking effort; and Pengcheng Shi, director for Graduate Studies and Research in the Golisano College, who is providing expertise in image understanding. Graduate students Sai Mulpura, Preethi Vaidyanathan and Rui Li are also instrumental to the project.
According to Haake, bridging the "semantic gap" is the challenge facing researchers working in content-based image retrieval. Search functions can go awry when computer engineered algorithms trip on nuances and fail to distinguish between disparate objects, such as a whale and a ship. Building a system based on the end-user's knowledge can prevent semantic hiccups from occurring.
The project will explore eye tracking as a way to identify what an expert finds perceptually important. Watching where a physician looks when making a diagnosis can reveal the key regions in an image. Pairs of 16 dermatologists and PA students viewed skin conditions in 50 different images displayed on a monitor. A device attached to the monitor recorded the physicians' eye movements as they lingered on the critical regions in each image. At the same time, vocabulary mined from audio recordings of the physicians' explanations to the students will form the common search words in the database.
Identifying the relevant features in the images provided by Calvelli and Logical Images Inc., a Rochester-based company, will help Haake's team improve the accuracy and efficiency of retrieving images from the database. Algorithms based on the eye-tracking data will compare similarities and differences in subject matter, color, contrast, size and shape—what the dermatologists focused on during the eye-tracking observations.
"This is very specialized for dermatology, but the one thing we want to establish is that this may be a better paradigm for developing systems in terms of involving the end-user in the development of these systems and some of the methodologies," Haake says.
"The best way to learn is to see patients again and again with various disorders," says Cara Calvelli, M.D., dermatologist and professor in the physician assistant program. "When you can't get the patients themselves, getting good pictures and learning how to describe them is second best."
"All the research organizations these days are looking for interdisciplinary collaboration," says Anne Haake, professor of information sciences technology. "And the real reason is because there's too much expertise in all these different areas that needs to come together. No one person can do it. It's not just that it's fashionable; it's really needed to have in-depth expertise in all these areas."
"For many years computing/technical people have said we can write algorithms such that it will work," says Pengcheng Shi, director for Graduate Studies and Research in Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences. "But people start to realize that machines are not all that powerful. At the end of the day we need to put the human back into it. What are the physicians looking at and how are they looking at it in order to make their decisions?"
"People move their eyes 150,000 times a day, but you don't spend time thinking about where you will move your eyes next and you don't waste any memory remembering where your eyes have been," says Jeff Pelz, co-director of the Multidisciplinary Vision Research Laboratory in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science. "You just move your eyes to the next place you need information and a fraction of a second later you move them again."

As rumored, Virgin Mobile USA, a subsidiary of Sprint, will become the second pre-paid carrier in the United States to offer the Apple iPhone without a contract, the company announced today.
Starting June 29, customers can purchase an 8GB iPhone 4 for $549, or a 16GB iPhone 4S for $649 — the unsubsidized prices for these handsets. Virgin Mobile's Beyond Talk plans will start at $30 per month, which includes 300 minutes of talk time, unlimited text messaging and "unlimited" data. (Virgin Mobile's unlimited data is actually limited to 2.5GB per month, with throttling on speeds for those who surpass their data allotment.) The $40 tier ups the talk time to 1,200 minutes, while the $50 offers "unlimited" everything.
On Tuesday, rumors surfaced that Virgin Mobile would receive the iPhone soon. That news, first reported by MarketWatch, arrived on the heals of Leap Wireless' pre-paid wing Cricket announcing its own no-contract iPhone. Cricket offers only one plan: $55 per month for unlimited text, talk, and data (which is limited to 2.3GB per month). While the plan is slightly more expensive than Virgin Mobile's, the cost of the phone makes up for it: Just $400 for an iPhone 4, or $500 for an iPhone 4S. Cricket's pre-paid iPhone deal starts June 22.
While the math is not entirely clear, and depends greatly on what kind of user you are, pre-paid could work out to be significantly cheaper than on-contract plans from the Big Three carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint). Cricket estimates that customers who use its service could save between $400 and $1,600 per year. Considering those numbers, pre-paid seems to us at least worth a look.

One tiny thing I wanted to mention about Windows 8: ever noticed how context menus in Metro appear above the mouse cursor instead of underneath? I'm assuming this is done because of finger input (by opening above, your finger and hand doesn't cover the menu), but with a mouse, it's just plain weird. Fun little detail though - shows you how much thought has gone into the touch aspect of Windows 8.

Deer hunters are heading into this fall's general rifle season not knowing if their favorite haunts even will be open to them.
Dastardly, dry backwoods conditions have enticed commercial foresters in Jackson and Josephine counties to close public access to more than a quarter-million acres, locking some traditional deer camps out until rains finally quell fears of wildfires.
Forecasts don't have that happening before next week's start of the general rifle season, meaning Rogue Valley hunters will be flocking to high-elevation, national forestlands to get cured of buck fever.
"If the private lands are still closed, hunters will be rushing to public lands, which means they'll have to go up high," says Mark Vargas, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Rogue District wildlife biologist.
"It's not just here," Vargas says. "It's from the coast all the way up the Cascades."
Hunters will start heading high Saturday, Sept. 29, when the general buck-deer season for rifle hunters opens, triggering the unofficial start of the fall hunting season.
Thousands of hunters are expected to plunk down the $24.50 for a buck tag in what remains one of Oregon's best and most popular general-season opportunities for big-game success.
In the Rogue, Evans Creek and Dixon units, the Cascade buck season runs from Saturday, Sept. 29, through Oct. 12, then takes a hiatus for the weeklong, general Roosevelt bull-elk season before returning Oct. 20 and running through Nov. 2.
Applegate Unit hunters fall under the coast buck season, which runs Sept. 29 through Nov. 2.
Deer hunters head into this season with a ratio of 33 bucks per 100 does in the Rogue Unit. That's way up from last year's ratio of 19 bucks per 100 does and equal to the ratio of 2010.
The unit is Jackson County's most-hunted in part because of easy access and some of the biggest blacktails the West has ever seen.
The Applegate Unit has 37 bucks per 100 does heading into this season, up one from 36 bucks per 100 does last year. The Evans Creek Unit's ratio is 29 bucks per 100 does.
Conditions fluctuate annually, and the yearly success rate for Rogue Unit rifle hunters in general seasons hover around the point where one in four or five hunters tags a buck.
But last year, hunter numbers and efforts dropped off from 2010, though their overall successes saw a slight increase.
In the Rogue Unit, 5,858 hunters logged 38,005 days afield toward racking up a 17-percent success rate — up from the 13 percent during the dismal 2010 season.
"Last year was more traditional," Vargas says. "The deer did what they normally do, and hunters intercepted deer in their normal places."
That's one reason why hunters usually get out of the general-season hunt exactly what they put into it.
Blacktails are brush-lovers, and they prefer not to live along roadways. So hunters need to beat feet for better odds of finding a buck and eschew the all-too-common practice of driving backwoods roads and venturing only after deer that are spotted from the road.
So-called "road hunting" once was popular and effective in places like Southern Oregon. But decades of reduced logging have allowed brush to grow high and reduce windows into the forest.
During the early season, hunting high ridges in the lower parts of summer range could put hunters into chunks of the region's migrating blacktail herds. But conditions will be tinder-dry and difficult for stalking, so hunters could take a cue from their Midwest brethren and find a nice tree or large rock to perch themselves on and wait for the animals to come to them.
"It all comes down to whether the deer behave and the weather cooperates," Vargas says.
Hunters also need to find good food sources to find deer. And this year, that could be a little easier than years' past in the oak savannahs of Southern Oregon.
"The acorn crop in most areas is exceptional," Vargas says. "There should be good forage for deer. I haven't seen an acorn crop like this in six or seven years.
"It's not going to make much difference in the early season," Vargas says. "But later in the season, it'll concentrate deer more in those acorn areas."
Deer hunters might have to take much higher road
Deer hunters are heading into this fall's general rifle season not knowing if their favorite haunts even will be open to them.

The most unfortunate aspect of the disastrous Affordable Care Act rollout is the black eye it's given to big government ("White House to revive Obamacare PR push," Dec. 3). It will be more fashionable than ever among politicians of all stripes to decry government solutions to our problems and romanticize private sector panaceas.
I don't see some magical convergence of private sector forces coming together to fix our roads and bridges or to keep you and me from having to foot the emergency room bills of the uninsured or to find cures to AIDS or cancer or to make sure that inner city kids have a shot at a decent education. Amazon and Google can't be bothered.

Wanted: fishermen put a dent in pike epidemic
Pend Oreille River targetedWashington state wildlife officials will ask anglers to help control the advance of voracious and predatory northern pike toward the Columbia River.In a story from the Associated Press, fishery managers in the next few months plan to enlist fishermen to remove as many of the northern pike as possible from the Pend Oreille River, the route the species is following from Idaho and Montana.Studies conducted with the Kalispell Tribe of Pend Oreille County and Eastern Washington University show a dramatic decline in native minnows, large-mouth bass, yellow perch and other fish species that inhabit the 55-mile Box Canyon Reservoir.Fish biologists have traced the movement of northern pike into the Pend Oreille River from rivers in Montana, where they were stocked illegally, according to the AP story.Last spring, Canadian anglers reported catching them in the Columbia River near its confluence with the Pend Oreille River, just north of the border between Washington and British Columbia."Non-native northern pike are high impact predators of many other fish," said John Whalen of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. "We are increasingly concerned about future impacts to native trout and other species, including salmon and steelhead."That's a big concern. If northern pike start spreading down the Columbia River, they could create significant ecological and economic damage."Earlier this year, the department held public meetings in Spokane and Newport to discuss options for controlling northern pike.Regardless of what other methods are used, anglers represent the major line of defense, Whalen figured. There are no daily catch limits on northern pike in Washington state.The agency proposed changing fishing regulations to allow anglers to fish with two poles in the Pend Oreille River. The department also proposed stripping the northern pike from its designation as a "game fish," while continuing to classify it as a "prohibited species" that cannot lawfully be transported to state waters."Anglers could keep fishing for them, but the change in designation would signal that the priority is to control the spread of northern pike and their impact on native fish species," Whalen said.

While Google Glass isn't a mainstream product yet, it does face an expensive issue: it needs a Bluetooth tethering connection at all times. It gets its data through tethering, and as you know, a tethering plan costs a good chunk of money. Sure, Google Glass itself was $1,500, but look further into the future. Is it easy to justify buying an accessory just to have to pay for that tethering plan every month to use it? For many, that's an extra $20 a month.
The newest software update to Google Glass gets rid of that tethering requirement, now allowing the MyGlass app to send data directly to Glass without needing to tether it. This is an awesome feature which will allow you to use Google Glass without paying for a tethering plan. I'm sure it'll also annoy some carriers, but hey, it helps the consumer! Google Glass isn't a smartphone, it's an accessory and shouldn't need tethering.
It's interesting to see Google ignoring the interest of carriers to bring a better user experience to its users. It's not often that companies do that, but it's what should always happen. US carriers have far too much power over manufacturers.
So if you own a pair of Google Glass, let it update itself and go update the MyGlass companion app! You'll get this new functionality and can call in to cancel that pesky tethering plan.

In China, Hidden Risk of 'Shadow Finance'
State Banks Could Share Liability for Defaults, Analysts Say
TAIYUAN, China—Facing the loss of his business when the government decided to nationalize small coal-mine operators for safety reasons, Wang Pingyan went on a buying binge.
The farmer-turned-entrepreneur figured that to stay in business, he had to get bigger, say former employees and others familiar with his business. Since state-owned banks were reluctant to lend to him—a common problem for private businesses in China—he turned to private investors. In total he raised about 5 billion yuan ($794 million), according to these...

A Personal Information Management Scheme Using Shared Labels and Implication Links
Gaurav Dubey and Xiaolong Zhang
Tuesday, 8:30am
The tree-based file management scheme is universally deployed as a personal information management approach; however, it has several weaknesses. In this paper, we identify and discuss some of the weaknesses of the tree-based approach: these include conceptual fragmentation, conceptual non-comprehensiveness, entry point restriction, and enforced ordering. After describing some previous attempts at building alternative schemes for PIM, we propose our own scheme, based on shared labels and implication links. Location ad- dresses consist of unordered sets of labels, and each location has connections to other addresses that are subsets and super- sets of the location's address. Implication links can be used to capture implication relationships between concepts: specifying a link from one label to another means that the first label will automatically be accompanied by the second in addresses. We discuss the components of the new scheme, in addition to methods for manipulating it. We describe the ways in which the new scheme addresses the problems identified with the tree-based approach. We also present a mockup of a proto- type application for browsing information spaces based on the new scheme. To conclude, we discuss future research directions, including theoretical analysis, implementation, and testing.

The West Memphis Three HBO Paradise Lost Purgatory: Victims Parents Plea For No Oscar, Call Film Cruel Hoax
Beverly Hills, CA- Following an announcement that The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is considering the HBO documentary Paradise Lost III : Purgatory, as one of 15 submissions being considered for an Oscar in the documentary category branch of AMPAS, chaired by Rob Epstein- Todd and Diana Moore took action.
The Moores are the parents of James Michael Moore, one of three eight your old victims murdered on May 3, 1993 along with Chris Byers and Stevie Branch. Within days of an exclusive series on the murders appearing on www.blinkoncrime.com which included the discovery of potential new evidence; the nearly 18 year old case that resulted in 9 previous convictions of three suspects took a radical turn.
On August 19th Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols and Charles Jason Baldwin pled guilty to the murders of all 3 children via an Alford plea and were immediately released from jail as convicted murders on parole.
Paradise Lost III produced by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky follows it's predecessors I and II, released in 1996 after the initial convictions of the West Memphis 3.
Berlinger is a member of AMPAS, and has produced several unreleased documentaries of Hollywood A- listers including Charlize Theron, Hugh Jackman, Oprah Winfrey and Cameron Diaz.

Ducks blank Stars
Dallas, TX – Viktor Fasth made 26 saves to record his third shutout of the season and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Dallas Stars, 4-0, on Monday.
It was the first of three games over five days between these two Pacific Division rivals.
Bobby Ryan had a goal and an assist for the Ducks, who have won two of three and sit second in the Western Conference. Corey Perry, Matt Beleskey and Teemu Selanne also lit the lamp.
"He made big saves," said Anaheim head coach Bruce Boudreau about Fasth. "We weren't perfect tonight, we had break downs, and I think all Viktor did was frustrate that team. I've been on that end, whether it's a player or a coach. That was the big thing. We didn't want them to get one because we thought that would really energize them."
Kari Lehtonen stopped 26-of-29 shots for the Stars, who went 2-3-0 on a five- game homestand. They sit three points behind the Blues for the eighth spot in the West.
"Obviously the result isn't what you want," said Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan. "We didn't lose, we got beat. We got beat. We had enough there, if we would've capitalized, to win."
The Ducks' offense got going at the 10:13 mark of the second period. Ryan beat Lehtonen with a wrist shot from the left circle.
Over two minutes later, Perry put in a rebound off a shot from the point to extend Anaheim's lead.
Beleskey lit the lamp with 4:58 remaining in the middle stanza. His initial backhand attempt was denied at the near post by Lehtonen. However, Beleskey stuck with it and flipped in the rebound from in front.
Selanne's empty-netter with 28 seconds left sealed the deal.
Game Notes
The Ducks lead the season series by a 2-1 margin ... Anaheim closed out a four-game road trip on Monday ... This will mark the second time in the Ducks' history that they will play three in a row during the regular season against the same team. Anaheim went 1-0-2 over a three-game span versus the Phoenix Coyotes on March 2-6, losing a pair of shootout games on the road before a home victory ... The Ducks acquired forward Harry Zolnierczyk from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward Jay Rosehill.

Weighing in at 7 lbs., 13 oz. and measuring 21.5 inches long, Russell arrived at 7:59 p.m.
"We are overjoyed and overwhelmed at the amount of love that ushered our baby into the world," Day, 35, and Ellis, 32, tell PEOPLE.
Their son draws his name from the family tree — Russell comes from Ellis's side and also honors a departed friend, while Wallace comes from Day's.
The Horrible Bosses star and Ellis, who recently guest-starred on New Girl, married in March 2006.

Indiana Secretary of State's Office Collects and Donates Toys for Afghan Children
Contact: Jim Gavin
(Indianapolis) – Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita and his staff are spreading holiday cheer halfway across the globe – to children in war-torn Afghanistan. The office has been collecting toys for Afghan children during this holiday season and is shipping them to American armed forces serving in Afghanistan to distribute.
While on his Department of Defense-sponsored trip to Camp Eggers, Afghanistan, in October, Secretary Rokita met Lt. Cmdr. Ronald Willy, a Navy doctor from Kokomo, Indiana. Lt. Cmdr. Willy told Secretary Rokita that the best way his office could assist servicemembers during the holidays would be to donate toys that troops can distribute to Afghan children while on humanitarian missions in the local Afghan communities.
"Many of the Afghan children we encounter, even in the capital city of Kabul, have no toys, and maybe have never even seen manufactured toys" said Lt. Cmdr. Willy. "I have witnessed hospitalized Afghan children frightened of stuffed animals when they are first presented to them. But the children are obviously delighted once they discover the toys are for play. And there is nothing more fun for U.S. troops here than to provide just a bit of happiness to the children."
So far, Secretary Rokita and his staff have already shipped more than 20 pounds of stuffed animals, yo-yos and other small toys to Camp Eggers, in Kabul, Afghanistan. A second larger shipment will be sent this week.
"The fact our troops would rather we send them gifts they can give others, and not keep for themselves, shows the compassion and character of our service men and women," said Secretary Rokita. "It is comforting to witness the generosity and selflessness of the people that protect our country. We cannot thank our military members enough for their service and sacrifices."
Secretary Rokita was one of five secretaries of state invited by the Department of Defense to travel into Iraq and Afghanistan to inspect the military absentee ballot process and meet with troops and military voting representatives prior to November's General Election. The delegation also visited wounded soldiers at Landstuhl Air Force Base in Germany, the military casualty hospital that serves as the primary medical evacuation destination for U.S. troops participating in Iraq and Afghanistan military operations. During the holidays last year, Secretary Rokita and his office collected thousands of pre-paid phone cards for wounded soldiers recuperating at Landstuhl.

OCZ Agility Series 120GB SSD Review
Solid state drives (SSDs) are no longer what would be considered "new" technology, but rather a technology that continues to evolve. Just about everyone has heard the horror stories about the early non-Intel drives having stuttering problems and poor write performance due to the early Jmicron controllers. Fast forward to the present and you have a whole different situation. The introduction of the INDILINX controller changed the way SSDs perform. Sure you had massive speeds and almost nonexistent access times before, but now you also have a smoother running drive that ultimately makes for a better experience. OCZ has been on the front lines of this story and has done a great job educating the masses on its support forums about the ins and outs of the SSD. OCZ makes more than a few series of SSDs, which include the Vertex series for performance and enterprise users, the Agility series for mainstream users, and the Value series for a more economical entry point into the world of solid state drives.
The Agility series 120GB SATA II 2.5 inch form factor drive is based on MLC NAND flash technology and sports an impressive list of performance ratings, with read speeds of up to 230MB/s and write speeds of up to 135MB/s. Furthermore, it's a large enough drive to do double duty as a single drive in a system, as long as you don't go overboard with the amount of installed programs. However, if you do need more space, a 250GB drive is available. This drive comes with a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) rating of 1.5 million hours, so in reality, there should be no issues with warranty for a failed drive, as the MTBF equals a whopping 171+ years. Let's see if the OCZ Agility delivers the goods and whether it can improve the computing experience.
Closer Look:
The front panel of the packaging for the Agility series 120GB drive shows a representation of the enclosed solid state drive. The front panel also lists some of the features of this drive, such as faster SATA II access times, lower power consumption, RAID support, and shock resistance - all features that make this drive ideal for a portable PC. The back panel lists the specifications of the Agility series drive - up to 230MB/s reads and 135MB/s writes, with sustained writes up to 80MB/s. Shock resistance and the MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) are impressive at 1500G (.5ms) and 1.5 million hours, respectively. I think it's meant to last a lifetime or two!
Tucked neatly inside the box, the OCZ Agility is inside a flip-open package that is a block of dense foam to protect the drive while being transported. The Agility drive is also enclosed in an anti-static bag, protecting it from any accidental electro-static discharge. Accompanying the drive is the requisite installation manual / warranty info, just in case you have trouble installing the drive or need the services of OCZ to repair or replace your drive!
The OCZ Agility comes with an impressive list of features and performance numbers, so let's see just what makes this drive tick.

Cable television first came to Redmond in the 1960's when Vista Television Cable, Inc. began installing coaxial cable lines via utility poles in many of the city's newer neighborhoods. By the late '80's, most citizens living or working close to a public right-of-way could contract with the cable operator for cable service, and many did. Currently, about 83% of Redmond households are cable subscribers.
As of 2008, most of the city is served via fiber optic lines installed by competing cable television providers, Comcast and Frontier.
In December 2002, the City of Redmond negotiated a new cable franchise with Comcast that will be in effect for the next ten years.
In September 2008, the City negotiated an additional 10 year franchise with Frontier.

Canaries Homer Three Times But Fall In Rubber Match
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- After having their best month of the season in July, the Sioux Falls Canaries opened August with a 7-6 loss in the rubber game of three-game against the Trois-Rivieres Aigles at Sioux Falls Stadium on Thursday night.
The Canaries (30-41) lost their only interleague series of the year with a Can-Am League opponent.
The Canaries rallied from a four-run deficit on the strength of three solo home runs from the middle of the lineup, but Aigles closer Nick Sarianides shut down the Canaries in order in the ninth inning for his 11th save.
Jared Clark hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, his 15th of the year and first since July 9, and Tim Pahuta pulled a ball over the right field wall in the sixth for his league-leading 20th round-tripper of the year.
And Reggie Abercrombie rocketed a no-doubter for his first home run with the Canaries in the eighth.
Trois-Rivieres (31-38) never trailed after Drew Miller led off the third inning with a solo home run to break a 3-3 tie. Brett Flowers later doubled and scored on an error, and David Cooper added a run-scoring single. Flowers added an RBI base hit in the fourth for a 7-3 margin. He finished 3-for-5.
Mitchell Clegg (4-4) suffered his first loss as a starter since July 15. He surrendered seven runs, five earned, on nine hits in five innings. He walked four and struck out two.
Four Canaries relievers – Kirk Clark, Jack Van Leur, Jordan Whatcott and Alan DeRatt – held Trois-Rivieres scoreless over the last four innings.
Jeff Shields (7-7) earned the win for Trois-Rivieres, allowing five runs, four earned, on eight hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out one.
J.P. Ramirez led all Canaries hitters with a 3-for-5 attack, and Van Stratten went 2-for-5.
The Canaries open a three-game home series against the Kansas City T-Bones at 7:05 p.m. on Friday at Sioux Falls Stadium.

A single-family home in a remote section of town was destroyed by fire this afternoon.
Firefighters were called to 33 Barney Road about 12:30 p.m. and arrived to find the house engulfed in flames.
Assistant Fire Chief John Crote said the house was 2 1/2 stories and the lone occupant escaped safely. There were no injuries but the home was a complete loss.
Firefighters were challenged by a lack of water in the remote area of Barney Road, which is a narrow dirt road. Mutual aid from Holland, Brimfield, Monson, Stafford, Conn., and Staffordville, Conn., was called in to assist and shuttle water using tanker trucks.
Some heavy equipment stored near the house was also damaged. The fire marshal is headed to the scene to assist in the investigation. The listed owner of the home is Paul Giza.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::

Yeah. God, in His infinite wisdom, saw fit to inhabit the earth with a lot of really nasty creatures. It is hard to imagine what He had in mind when He created brain eating amoebas.On a much less serious note, in first grade, when my daughter came home from school with head lice, I found myself in one of those fancy salons that specialize in removing the nasty little bugs from the heads of itchy school children. One father, who sat and watched as a patient women combed a never ending supply of lice out of his daughter's long hair, asked the "technicians" questions about the role that head lice play in the ecosystem. Apparently, according to the head lice removal staff, they have no predators, other than humans. And then consume nothing other than human blood, and survive nowhere other than the human scalp. And this is the God that loves us so? And God made sure that head lice made their way on to Noah's Ark, so that they would survive to torment countless generations? THIS is the God worshipped by billions?
This isn't true. Birds are more susceptible to lice than humans. While humans do have an inherited degree of lice, lice's only victim is not humans.Birds have it worse than we do.-Nam

Suffolk University's Student Affairs Office is leading a Global Leadership exchange in Barbados during spring break, providing students with an opportunity to meet Barbadian students and political figures who can offer their unique perspectives on leadership and government.
A select group of twelve students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, will embark on a five-day trip to meet students from Barbados colleges and universities.
They will learn what it is like to be a college student in a different country -- particularly Barbados -- and meet Barbadian student leaders who will offer their perspectives on leadership.
"Part of leadership is having different perspectives," said David DeAngelis, director of student leadership and involvement. "Hearing the different perspectives will shape students' values and morals in life."
Students also will tour Parliament, the George Washington Museum and the History and Culture Museum as they learn about the government, culture and history of Barbados.
The leadership experience offers another path for students who seek an enriching vacation-time experience. The University also sponsors Alternative Spring Break trips that focus on service.
DeAngelis expects that learning about another culture and conversing with college students from a different country will provide Suffolk University students with broader views on leadership.
"It's an experience that is not likely to be forgotten," he said.
