Mendon falls in state semifinals to Beal City
With every kill, every game and every match, the Mendon volleyball team grew as a unit this year.
On Friday afternoon, that growth, at least for this season, came to an end.
"I don't ever want to feel like this again," Mendon's Loryn Baughman said after the team's semifinal loss to Beal City at Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek.
The thought was echoed among the team as the Lady Hornets ended their season, falling 3-1 to Beal City. The Lady Hornets had stormed their way to Battle Creek, fueled by a tremendous crowd in every single match they played. That energy was matched by the team each time they took the floor.
During the MHSAA playoffs Mendon hadn't lost a single game until Friday. All the intensity finally came to an end, but the Lady Hornets certainly went out fighting.
Yes, reaching the Final Four was definitely a goal for this team when the season began, but many left Kellogg Arena unsatisfied with the outcome.
"I thought we came into the match real nervous and we couldn't shake it," Mendon head coach Kathy Trenary said. "I think it was the whole atmosphere and we couldn't relax and find that point of relaxing but also playing hard. We just couldn't control our emotions and play our game, which was unfortunate."
Trenary has won three state titles as the head coach of Mendon, so losing on the brink of playing for another one certainly stings. Yet, she also understands that losing is part of the game. Her team, albeit not wanting to let go of the special season they had built just yet, understood that too.
"Obviously we wanted to win state, but to get where we got, I am absolutely honored," lone senior Amanda Lovell said after Friday's match. "I couldn't be happier than to have played with this group of girls. It was a great season."
Much like Trenary spoke of in regards to nerves, Lovell agreed it had something to do with Friday's match.
Beal City seemed to be able to harness theirs while Mendon was unable to capitalize.
"I think the nerves got to us and they (Beal City) were able to calm down and stay focused on what they needed to do in order to get the job done," she said. "They serve/received and passed well, which definitely helped them."
This will be Beal City's first time in the state finals.
Head coach Kelley David played in the state semifinals for Beal City a few years ago and is in the first year guiding the program as its coach.
"It's a pretty neat experience, I lucked out having a really good group to start off with," David said. "They've been working really hard and I'm really proud of them. It makes it really fun for my first year."
Mendon won the opening game, 25-15. It was close at 16-13, but Mendon was able to take control of the game and get one leg up in the match.
After the game, Beal City's players looked a bit concerned, but were able to channel those emotions and come out firing in the second game. They led a tight one early, but pulled away to win a convincing 25-13 second game.
"The girls were nervous in the first game and this is an environment they've never been in," David said. "After the first game the nerves were gone and we really came hard in the second game. We kept pushing and that's what we needed to do. We played really well today."
The Lady Aggies won the third game 25-21 and earned a spot in the finals with a 25-17 win in the fourth and final game.
"They (Beal City) played all-around more relaxed and they made smart decisions," Baughman said. "We had some pivotal errors and it just wasn't our day."
Mendon junior Alexis Russell agreed with Baughman.
"Honestly, I think today we never really made it to playing our style of game," Russell said. "If we had played the way we love to play, we'd have been fine. But we weren't able to find that today and it cost us the game."
As angry and upset as they were to have come so far and lost, the Lady Hornets still know this was a special season. They finished with 48 wins and lost only seven matches. Yet, the one and final loss in that record is the one that will hurt the most.
They all agreed that the hurt will push them even harder coming into the next volleyball season.
"We had high expectations wanting to make it here this year," junior Brooke Howard said. "I feel like if we come back next year this will push us to make it even farther. We need to look back at this and learn from it."
Trenary, who has been on the good and bad side of playing in Battle Creek, confirmed to her players that it wasn't going to be easy. They know it won't, but the experience of playing in the Final Four certainly will help.
"Being here, for the kids that come back next year is big," Trenary said. "It may take one time to get used to the atmosphere here, so that's good. This loss will sting and they will remember it. But, we can use that as energy to move forward."
The energy was there all season and especially in the playoffs. Mendon routinely played with a lot of emotion and that helped them win several matches along the way.
There were even glimpses of that energy bursting through in Friday's semifinal, but in the end, Beal City played tough enough in key spots to win.
David said she was proud of her team and gave a lot of credit to Mendon. However, the Beal City team now knows that they have to forget about Friday's win and re-group to play in the finals today.
"This is an amazing experience, we've never had a girl's team get to the finals," David said of her squad. "It's an honor to come here to Battle Creek. We knew that if we won this game, we'd be making history for our school and that was big for us."
The win pushes the Lady Aggies to play Battle Creek St. Philip today in the finals.
St. Phil has won six straight state championships and has been in the final match 12 straight seasons.
The last time St. Phil didn't play in the state finals was Mendon's last volleyball championship in 2001. That year, Trenary's group defeated Adrian Lenawee Christian.
Lovell, in her final match for Mendon, finished with 11 kills, 21 digs and five blocks. Howard had a team-high 14 kills, adding 11 digs and four blocks. Russell had eight kills and seven blocks while Jordan VanOss had four kills and 12 digs. Cierra Furlong and Baughman both had one kill. Baughman tossed out 35 assists while Jackie Friel had 14 digs and led the team with four aces.
Trenary isn't ready to guarantee her Hornets will be back in Battle Creek this same time next year, but she knows they are going to put in the work to make a great effort in trying to get to Kellogg Arena again.
"They get the message right now," Trenary said from the interview room on Friday. "Living with this for a year — that's not fun. Many of them will be heading into basketball and that will help. But coming back next year, we don't need to say much. They have a lot of determination to be at the top. They won't forget this."

Open Stock Firmware LS-XHL
- 1 Important
- 2 Why a new page for the XHL?
- 3 Is this working for the CHLv2 also?
- 4 What to do first in case of upgrading from 1.10?
- 5 How to get the executables from release 1.10 if you already upgraded to 1.20?
- 6 How to get telnet working in 1.20
- 7 How to get telnet working in 1.24 or any other LS-XHL or LS-CHLv2 version
- 8 How to convert the data partition from XFS to EXT3?
Please read the complete guide, even if you already have a box with firmware greater 1.10. Only the chapter about the conversion of the filesystem is optional. Everything else is NOT.
The tool acp_commander is used. You can find the readme here: http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/TOOLS/ALL_LS_KB_ARM9/ACP_COMMANDER/README .
You will find the link to the library further down this guide.
What will you have to do during this guide?
- You will have to copy some files to your LS onto a share named "share".
- You have to get access to the LS via acp_commander in interactive mode.
- You will have to use some Unix commands to copy files and to set file mode bits.
There is a guide for the VL which will work for the XHL as well.
Why a new page for the XHL?
Unfortunately to open the firmware of a XHL depends on the release of the firmware currently running on the machine.
The XHL firmware above release 1.10 do NOT contain telnetd or sshd anymore. So acp_commander can not enable telnet access due to the lack of the executable. Unfortunately acp_commander cannot detect this and erroneously reports success.
If you have firmware 1.10 or lower, you should be able to follow the hints in Open_Stock_Firmware to get telnet access, except that you should not use the addons.tar, because the executables within will NOT work on the LS-XHL. You do not need the addons.tar for enabling telnet access. But with firmware 1.20 luck is not on your side.
Even worse for version 1.24 this will not work at all, because the acp_commander is not working anymore. You can connect via acp_commander but you will not be able to execute any command although you will not get error messages. You will have to open the firmware by flashing a new firmware which you "opened" before manually. I wrote a small guide which you can find below.
Attention: What ever you do, you do it on your own risk
Is this working for the CHLv2 also?
The LS-CHLv2 has the same CPU as the LS-XHL. It differs in CPU frequency and amount of memory. So the executables should be interchangeable (the GPL source from Buffalo for the XHL and CHLv2 is identical -> it is the same directory at their server).
There are already several success stories for following this guide to "open" the LS-CHLv2.
What to do first in case of upgrading from 1.10?
If you want to upgrade the firmware from 1.10 to something newer, you should take care of some things before, or you will loose the ability to get telnet access to your XHL.
The assumption is, that you have a share called share and you already opened the LS for telnet access using Open_Stock_Firmware.
- You already should have acp_commander.jar. If not: http://downloads.nas-central.org/TOOLS/ALL_LS_KB_ARM9/ACP_COMMANDER/acp_commander.jar.
- Save some executables from the 1.10 firmware:
mkdir /mnt/disk1/share/xhl cd /mnt/disk1/share/xhl mkdir bin cp /bin/su bin/ mkdir -p usr/local/bin mkdir -p usr/local/sbin cd /mnt/disk1/share/xhl/usr/local/sbin cp /usr/local/sbin/telnetd . cp /usr/local/sbin/sshd . cd /mnt/disk1/share/xhl/usr/local/bin cp /usr/local/bin/ssh* . mkdir -p etc/init.d cd /mnt/disk1/share/xhl/etc/init.d cp /etc/init.d/sshd.sh .
Now you are prepared to upgrade to 1.20 or higher.
How to get the executables from release 1.10 if you already upgraded to 1.20?
Get the firmware release 1.10 from Buffalo: http://www.buffalo-technology.com/support/getfile/?lsxhl-110.zip
Unpack the zip and unzip hddrootfs.img then. Use the password:
Now you can copy the extracted executables to your XHL share.
Alternatively you can download this file: http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/xhl-110-telnet-ssh-clearaddon.tar.gz
It contains the executables and a patched (unnecessary binaries removed) addons.tar which you can copy into your acp_commander directory. The excutable "su" is still part of this, in case you already used the addons.tar from acp_commander (via automatic download). It also contains the optware bootstrap file for the Marvell Kirkwood feed.
Copy these files to your share "share". The directory structure should look like this on "share":
xhl/usr/... xhl/bin/...
How to get telnet working in 1.20
The assumption is, that your XHL is already running firmware 1.20 and that you are aware of handling command line executables and stuff like this, if you are used to a Unix flavor. For the windows noobs I will add some windows hints also.
- Disable the XP/Vista/7 firewall or you will get sockettimeout errors.
- Start a command line via "Start" - "Run" - "cmd.exe". Everything else is done within the command line window.
- Ensure you have a valid java installation by checking the version:
java --version
- Change to the place where you placed acp_commander.jar (I assumed it is on c:\tmp\xhl\) via:
cd \tmp\xhl
- Get into an interactive acp_commander session (all commands will be executed as root in interactive mode and all parameters are necessary):
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <XHL IP address> -ip <XHL IP address> -pw <password of the web admin user> -s
example: java -jar acp_commander.jar -t 192.168.1.10 -ip 192.168.1.10 -pw secret -s
- In interactive mode you should do the following (attention: cd does not work in interactive mode!):
cp /mnt/disk1/share/xhl/usr/local/sbin/telnetd /usr/local/sbin/ ln -s /usr/local/sbin/telnetd /usr/sbin/telnetd cp /mnt/disk1/share/xhl/usr/local/sbin/sshd /usr/local/sbin chmod 4555 /bin/su echo "telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd /usr/sbin/telnetd" >> /etc/inetd.conf chmod 644 /etc/profile reboot
Now your XHL should reboot. After a minute or so, you should be able to telnet to your XHL using the user admin (the same admin you use to access the web configuration of your XHL).
I haven't found a way to let root login via telnet, but you can simply call
su -
after logged in as user admin, to switch to user root (do not forget the "-" or you won't have any PATH environment set!).
The installation of the addons.tar is identical to the non-XHL LS-PRO except that /bin/su will get overridden by a version within the addon.tar which is not working properly. So you have to get into the acp_commander interactive mode again after the installation of addon.tar. Do the following:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <XHL IP address> -ip <XHL IP address> -pw <password of the web admin user> -s cp /mnt/disk1/share/xhl/bin/su /bin/ chmod 4555 /bin/su
Now you should have telnet access to your XHL. Have fun!
How to get telnet working in 1.24 or any other LS-XHL or LS-CHLv2 version
Due to the circumstance that buffalo changed a third time the way to "open" a firmware, I decided to make a guide which will help others to open any firmware version.
Update 22.05.2010: I verified that the guide below works for 1.26 also. The Buffalo LS-XHL 1.26 firmware is a "multi-box" firmware. It covers the XHL, CHL, SL, WXL and WSXL in one firmware.
How will it work?
We will patch the firmware directly before we update the firmware of the box. Nevertheless you can use this method for "opening" the same version of firmware you are already running on your box.
Some executables are missing within the latest firmwares. I collected the missing executables from the 1.10 firmware and put them into a single tar file. http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/OpenFirmware/executables.tar.gz
To make the patching easier, I wrote a small script doing the "whole" work. http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/OpenFirmware/open_firmware.sh
Update 15.03.2010: Updated open_firmware.sh due to problem to switch to superuser (su returned permission denied).
Update 16.03.2010: Updated open_firmware.sh to handle RAID systems in emergency.sh also.
For emergency purposes, I added the call to a script into a script started at bootup of the box. It is called in step 4 of the rcS via a standard Buffalo mechanism (/etc/rc.d/extensions.d). The advantage of this is, that you can put a script onto the "share" share and simply reboot the box to have the possibility to execute commands as the superuser.
The script to place on the share "share" is named "emergency.sh".
I made some examples for the usage of the emergency script.
One to reset the root password to empty. http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/OpenFirmware/freerootpw.sh
One to enable the ssh daemon. Of course you can call this script as well on the box directly when logged in as superuser. http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/kenatonline/OpenFirmware/enablesshd.sh
Update 16.03.2010: Updated enablessh.sh to handle RAID systems also.
Just copy one of this scripts to the share "share" and rename them to "emergency.sh". Take care that you set the execution bit of the script for superuser at least!
Be aware that this script gets executed EACH TIME you reboot. So remove the file after the reboot, if it is a One-Shot one ("One-Shot" means: it makes no sense or harms something if run more than once). So it makes no sense to leave the freerootpw.sh as "emergency.sh" there, because the password would get reset after each reboot!
Bells and Whistles
Each *.tar file and each *.key file can get included into the patched firmware. Just put the files in the same directory as the firmware zip and the open_firmware.sh script. For root access in firmware 1.33 you must add at least one root key to get access (ssh-keygen as root and copy the .ssh/id_rsa.pub file to the script directory as id_rsa.pub.key).
The *.tar can contain anything you like to have within the firmware. The file will be unpacked in the virtual root directory of the hddrootfs. So if you want to have an additional file ending in "/usr/sbin" of the firmware, you have to put it into "usr/sbin/" within the tar file.
The *.key files will get added into the "authorized_keys" file of the superusers ".ssh" directory. You can then use this keys to connect as root via ssh.
The step by step guide
Download the firmware zip from Buffalo. Then determine the password which has to be used to unpack the hddrootfs.img. A list of possible passwords can be found at Create_a_custom_firmware_image#Collected_passwords.
Edit open_firmware.sh and replace the value of the PASSWORD variable with the matching password. Take care to use a Unix-aware editor.
Unpack exectables.tar.gz so that you get executables.tar.
gunzip executables.tar.gz
Start a Linux Live CD on your PC (or take you regular Linux box).
Start a terminal window in Linux and become user "root".
sudo bash
Copy the firmware zip, the open_firmware.sh script and the executables.tar into one directory.
Make the script executable.
chmod 700 open_firmware.sh
Start the script with the name of the firmware zip as parameter.
./open_firmware.sh LS-XHL-fw124.zip
Please check for error messages during this! An error message saying "No file '*.key' found" is harmless and means that you have not provided a ssh keyfile for integration. After a while (depending on the speed of your PC) you can find the patched hddrootfs.img in directory "unpack/open".
cd unpack/open
Save the file to an external destination, because you have to leave Linux and to go to a Windows environment (Buffalo offers the Updater for Windows only). Back in Windows, replace the hddrootfs.img of the original firmware with the one from "unpack/open".
Edit the LSUpdater.ini and add this:
[SpecialFlags] Debug=1
Start the firmware updater of Buffalo.
Click left on the two golden rings on the upper left.
Choose the menuitem "Debug(D)...".
Depending if you update from an older version or just open the same version already installed on your box, you have to choose "Force update", "Do not check version".
If you want to overwrite the same version, deselect "Update BOOT", "Update KERNEL" and "Update initrd". You don't need them, because you changed the rootfs only.
Click on "OK".
Verify the settings on the dialog, that you are updating the right box.
Click "OK".
The firmware will be transfered to the box. The box will restart. The blue LED will blink steadily. Then the orange LED will blink the sequence two times long and five times short during the update (this is I25 = firmware update). Then again the blue LED will blink steadily.
After a minute, the blue LED will stay on and you should be able to connect via telnet (or ssh). For login via telnet, use the user "admin". This is the same user (and same password) as the user "admin" you use to login to the Web interface. The complaint about a missing default realm for user admin is caused by a missing kerberos configuration file. If you do not use Kerberos, you don't have to care about this. If you use Kerberos, you will know what to do. ;-)
In principle, this should work with ALL kind of Buffalo firmwares (so this is not restricted to LS-XHL or LS-CHLv2). Of course, if your box has a different kind of CPU, you maybe need different executables. But due to the "Bells and Whistles" this is no problem. Just leave out the executables.tar I provided and place your own tar-file with the appropriate executables into the same directory you placed the open_firmware script.
The internals of the script open_firmware.sh
The script creates a directory structure like this:
unpack ori ROOTFS open
Directory "unpack" is used to unpack the original Buffalo firmware. In directory "ori", the hddrootfs.img will get unpacked. In directory "ROOTFS" the unpacked hddrootfs.img (it is packed twice!) will get unpacked and patched. In directory "open" the resulting hddrootfs.img will get created.
The assumption is, that the original firmware unpacks into its own directory with a name starting with "ls". If this is not true for your firmware, adapt the "unzip -P" in line 19 accordingly.
In line 43-46, the emergency script gets created into directory "etc/rc.d/extensions.d". This directory is used by Buffalo for scripts which should get started in a later stage of the bootup. Why haven't I patched the "/etc/init.d/rcS" instead? Because I wanted to change as few original files as possible. And just for starting scripts during bootup, you don't have to patch /etc/init.d/rcS.
In line 48, telnet gets enabled in inetd.conf.
In line 50, root login via ssh is enabled via a small sed command.
In line 52-53, sshd gets started via the same mechanism we used for the emergency script.
In line 56-58, su error "permission denied" is fixed.
In line 62, an error message due to a wrong filemode during login is prevented.
In line 65-68, correcting missing libraries. Buffalo uses libraries within PAM, which are not provided by them. This links should solve this problem.
In line 71-74, extracting ALL *.tar files located in the starting directory (the one containing the script itself) into the directory "ROOTFS".
In line 76-83, extracting ALL *.key files located in the starting directory (the one containing the script itself) into the directory "ROOTFS/root/.ssh" into a file named "authorized_keys". This is necessary to connect via ssh as user root using public/private key encryption.
In line 86-88, creating of the patched hddrootfs.img into the directory "unpack/open".
How to convert the data partition from XFS to EXT3?
At least with firmware release 1.20, the firmware can handle a ext3 formatted root filesystem as well as a ext3 formatted data partition without "patching" anything serious.
The information of the format of the root filesystem and the data partition seems to be stored in non-volatile ram. There are two applications handling the reading and writing to this storage, named dumpnf and setnf.
If one looks into the initrd.buffalo, he can find a dirctory /root/.nas_features which contains preconfigured information for different linkstation models.
For the following operations you should login as root (su -).
To ensure to take the right information we dump the current content of the storage to a file:
dumpnf > /etc/nas_feature
Now edit the file /etc/nas_feature and change the following setting:
To prevent error messages when putting the settings back, also delete the line containing "NAS_FEATURE_VERSION".
Now one can format the data partition (/dev/disk1_6 aka. /mnt/disk1), but do not forget to save the data before, because you will loose everything on this partition.
umount /mnt/disk1 mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/disk1_6 mount -t ext3 /dev/disk1_6 /mnt/disk1
Now you should restore your saved data.
The last thing we have to do, is saving the changed settings into the non-volatile ram:
setnf < /etc/nas_feature
Atfer a reboot, one should check with:
that he gets this:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on / type xfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) /dev/ram1 on /mnt/ram type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,data=ordered) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/disk1_6 on /mnt/disk1 type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
The last line is the important one. It says the format is ext3. Voila.
To change the root filesystem from xfs to ext3 is analog to the former stuff, but one has to get into EM mode to access the partition sda2.
The setting to change is:
Because I decided to change only the filesystem of my data partition to ext3, I do not explain the change of the root filesystem in detail.

The other day, I was at Walmart and near the restrooms, there are photographs from Neosho's past.
The other day, I was at Walmart and near the restrooms, there are photographs from Neosho's past. There was a photo of the Neosho National Fish Hatchery, the Newton County Courthouse, the Neosho Square and two others that caught my attention: Neosho's Drive-in Theatre – located near Edgewood Bowl — and the Orpheum Theatre, located near Charley's just off of the Square.
These two theatres bring back fond memories of my past. I can't tell you the number of movies we saw there when I was growing up. I remember seeing "Superman" at the Orpheum, with my dad and brother on a Sunday afternoon. We stood outside in line for at least 30 minutes, waiting for the doors to open. Being young kids, before we left the house, my parents surprised us with a Superman action figure with a red cape, removable red boots and it actually looked like Christopher Reeve. When we did get into the theater, there was a concession stand near the entrance. As one got their drinks and popcorn, they walked through some big red curtains, and moved toward the seats. At that time, there was even a balcony (and no, I never did get to sit in the balcony). Anyway, every row would even have a two-seater at the end.
I remember other movies we saw there including "Star Wars," "Close Encounters", some Disney movies and later on in life when I was a teenager, one of the last movies that I saw was "Moonstruck" – twice in one weekend.
The drive-in was also a great place. In the summer, it was a Higdon family favorite. We loaded up coolers filled with soda pop, mom made popcorn, dad loaded up the truck with lawn chairs and the four of us headed to Neosho. I remember there were times Greg and I played on the playground swings at the front of the drive-in, prior to watching the movie. When it was time for the movie to start, they had a cartoon or even, a commercial with the popcorn box dancing telling the fellow moviegoers to purchase items from the concession stand.
Today, the Orpheum and the Neosho Drive-in are gone. There is a drive-in near Carthage and for Neosho, we do have B&B Theatres Neosho Cinema 6 which, from time to time, Tina and I will go out for a movie. I am glad that we do have movie houses like that. It gives us a chance to see movies, and eat some theater popcorn and candy.

At 2:10 p.m. today, a report was made of an alleged armed intruder driving through the Butler Community College campus.
At 2:10 p.m. today, a report was made of an alleged armed intruder driving through the Butler Community College campus.
"Someone thought they saw someone driving through campus with a gun hanging out the window," said Ryan Entz, executive director of marketing communications at Butler. "We aired on the side of caution and issued a lockdown."
That lockdown remained in place as all of the buildings that were open at the time were searched, which took about 15 minutes, said Marshall Matthews, Butler director of safety and security.
At about 3 p.m. the all clear was given after no sign of the intruder was found in any building or on campus.
Authorities were looking for a 1980s Ford pickup that is cream colored with a red stripe, last seen heading north on Haverhill Road.
The security department did receive information on a person who resembled the subject, but after following up they found that incident, which was about half a mile wast of the college, was unrelated.
"We're extremely fortunate because as you know all college campuses are wide open," Matthews said. "We always have to remain vigilant and prepared."
Matthews said the incident is still under investigation.

Saints striker Rickie Lambert said there was no need for goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga to apologise to his teammates following his blunder against Norwich.
Gazzaniga allowed a tame free-kick from Robert Snodgrass to sneak by him at the near post last night, handing the Canaries a 1-1 draw at St Mary's.
Lambert, who had given the home side the lead, revealed that the 20-year-old cut a dejected figure in the dressing room after the match.
"He didn't have to apologise to us," said Lambert. "You could see he was disappointed.
"He has done really well the last few weeks and it was a just little lapse in concentration.
"He is more disappointed than us and these things happen. It is how you respond to it."
The draw meant that Saints extended their unbeaten Premier League run to four matches.
However, they have also slipped back into the relegation zone.
Lambert admitted he was frustrated that the team had failed to seize the opportunity to win a third consecutive game.
"I am definitely frustrated not to get the three points," said Lambert, whose goal marked his sixth strike of the season.
"I thought we played really well in the first half and I thought we were definitely going to win it.
"We've come in disappointed at half-time and felt we could have pushed on in the second half.
"We haven't managed to do that so, yeah, I am disappointed."

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
There is no screening test for stroke, but your annual physical should provide an assessment of your stroke risk. Assessment of stroke risk includes:
- Blood pressure measurements
- Blood tests to measure cholesterol and glucose levels
- Body weight checks, such as checking your body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference
- Questions about your lifestyle habits, such as eating, smoking, exercise, and alcohol use
If you are at high risk for having a stroke, your doctor may want to complete tests on a more frequent basis.

Rated 4 out of 5 by katherine lorraine from Love the colors I was very pleased with this dress when I received it in the mail. The fit was great! However I did buy it a size down and I had no problems with extra bunching! I think it's a great dress for the beginning of fall! The colors are beautiful !

Rated 4 out of 5 by hot hot hot from I''m OK with it!! I purchased this dress online and the final product was completely different from what was shown on the model at the time. I didnt like how it fit at 1st because the waist section was a little weird but then I decided to fit it with a wide belt Instead and it was much better. Husband liked it and I wore it to the office and received compliments. Fits true to size.

Rated 1 out of 5 by valentina_4 from Not impressed "I loved this dress online but when I tried it on in store I fell out of love. The material isn't as nice as it looks in the picture, and the fit is kind of awkward for me. It seems to bunch up in the mid-section but it doesn't do that in the picture (probably because the model has her arm up). The back of the dress is very pretty but like I said, in person it is not the same. Colors are not as vibrant as I thought they would be. Not my favorite at all!"

Pseudoscorpions, also known as Chelonethida or False Scorpions, are an understudied order of arachnids. While not well known, Aristotle made note of pseudoscorpions as did the luminaries Linnaeus and Hooke (Micrographia 1665), and today they star on YouTube. Pseudoscorpions are found throughout the world in a wide range of microhabitats including leaf litter, animal nests, under rocks (even in the intertidal zone), beneath bark, and among the pages of books. One reason many are unfamiliar with pseudoscorpions is their size, most measuring less than 5 mm. This ancient lineage, the fossil record dates to the Middle Devonian (380MYA), currently comprises 25 families, 439 genera, and 3385 species.
Dissertation Research
Synsphyronus (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones: Garypidae) is a genus of pseudoscorpions found throughout Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia (Harvey 1987). Currently, there are 24 described species but the diversity is much greater (unpublished data). This group has been collected beneath bark, in leaf litter, and under rocks in mesic and xeric regions. Specifically, I am interested in the origin and diversification of lineages that are endemic to the granite outcrops in southwestern Australia. Only one species, Synsphyronus elegans, has been described from the outcrops, and until recently it was known only from its type locality.
My research objectives include:
• to assess the diversity of Synsphyronus on the granite outcrops of southwestern Australia
• to describe species discovered on the outcrops
• to infer phylogenetic relationships among the rock-restricted lineages in southwestern Australia
• to estimate a species level phylogeny
I have been fortunate to have had three field seasons since starting my dissertation. During my 2004 and 2006 field seasons, I visited over 100 outcrops in southwestern Australia, sampling from the ~70 populations discovered. My sampling suggests that the diversity of Synsphyronus in southwestern Australia is greater than previously recorded. I traveled across Australia to localities recorded for twelve of the 22 Australian species of Synsphyronus during the Australian winter of 2008.
Ultrastructures of the Chelicera
Ultrastructures of the chelicera, including the serrula exterior, serrula interior, and flagellum blades, are taxonomically informative characters; I imaged these structures using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The serrula exterior and interior teeth are heteromorphous. I have discovered papilla-like structures on the tips of the serrula exterior teeth. The serrula exterior is thought to be a grooming organ and the function of these ultrastructures warrants further exploration. Garypids typically have three spinose flagellum blades; the distal-most blade being the longest. The Synsphyronus samples I imaged had three blades (the flagellum shown is abnormal with only two blades). Many of the blades had structures that were more peg-like than spinose.

Nuclear Genes
I have successfully isolated four nuclear genes (elongation factor 1- subunit α, wingless, actin 5C, and Internal Transcribed Spacer regions 1 and 2) from pseudoscorpions. I have designed new primers and modified published primers.
wingless, (wg)
The wingless primers used, wg1MP_F3 and wg1MP_R3, are modifications of those designed by Brower & DeSalle (1998) for use in beetles (pers. comm. M. Richmond).
wg1MP_F3 5' GAR TGY AAR TGY CAY GGC ATG TCS GG 3'
wg1MP_R3 5' ACY ICG CAR CAC CAR TGG AAI GTG CA 3'
Internal Transcribed Spacer regions 1 and 2 (ITS1, ITS2)
The ITS universal primers I used are found in Ji et al. (2003). I modified CAS28sB1 for use in pseudoscorpions.
CAS18sF1 5' TAC ACA CCG CCC GTC GCT ACT A 3'

Mitochondrial Genes
I recommend you visit Susan Masta's webpage Arachnid Mitochondrial Primers at http://web.pdx.edu/~smasta/primer_pages/Primer_front.html. Two other sources for mitochondrial primers are the classic paper Evolution, weighting, and phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial gene sequences and a compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers (Simon et al. 1994) and the more recent publication Incorporating molecular evolution into phylogenetic analysis, and a new compilation of conserved polymerase chain reaction primers for animal mitochondrial DNA (Simon et al. 2006).

Attorney General Beau Biden announced today that his office has arrested two men for Theft and Conspiracy in a bid to defraud AstraZeneca.
Attorney General Beau Biden announced today that his office has arrested two men for Theft and Conspiracy in a bid to defraud AstraZeneca. An investigation by the Attorney General's Special Investigations Unit revealed that Mitchell Guard, age 45, a Project Engineer for AstraZeneca's Fairfax location, and David Ragolia, age 55, a foreman for the DiSabatino Construction Company and site manager for its activities at the AstraZeneca Fairfax location, conspired in a scheme to complete extensive home improvements at Guard's Hockessin home and to charge the work to AstraZeneca.
"Stealing is a crime with damaging consequences, whether the victim is an individual or a company, and we're acting to ensure that everyone obeys the law," Biden said.
The Attorney General's Office opened its investigation after receiving a report last year from AstraZeneca of questionable financial transactions. During the time period during which the fraud was committed, DiSabatino Construction company and AstraZeneca had entered into a Master Services Agreement under which DiSabatino was the sole source contractor for construction activities at the AstraZeneca Fairfax campus. Under this arrangement, Guard initiated construction projects on-site through Ragolia, who assigned the work to DeSabatino employees and sub-contractors.
The investigation revealed that Ragolia, of Bear, instructed DiSabatino employees and other sub-contractors to make significant home improvements to Guard's residence over a period of time, and that DiSabatino employees and sub-contractors were assigned to work full-time at the residence from March, 2010 through July, 2010 to complete the work. The home improvements included a kitchen renovation, the addition of a sunroom and 3-car garage, basement finishing, installation of new siding and windows, painting, and the purchase and installation of an HVAC unit, appliances, and bath fixtures.
Upon the completion of their work to the Guard residence, investigators learned that Ragolia directed subcontractors to submit their receipts and invoices to DiSabatino Construction Company. The investigation also revealed that Ragolia, in turn, submitted invoices for the materials and the labor that was performed at Guard's residence to AstraZeneca. In total, more than $400,000 in improvements performed at Guard's residence were fraudulently billed to and ultimately paid by the pharmaceutical manufacturer before the scam was discovered.
As a result of the investigation, arrest warrants were issued charging both men with one count of Theft of more than $100,000 and Conspiracy. Both defendants turned themselves in to Special Investigators in the Attorney General's Office on Friday, February 22. After being arraigned in JP Court #20, both men were released on $6,000 unsecured bond.

BMF was founded in 1999 to encourage more people to get active in the great outdoors.
It quickly became the UK's number one choice for group, outdoor exercise because its fun but challenging group classes are suitable for all abilities and are led by military-trained professionals, all year round, in any weather conditions, in almost 140 different parks all over the UK.
Our members have experienced life-changing results, made new friends – and made friends with the mud too! But don't take our word for it, here's 43-year-old Liz, a mother-of-two, to tell it like it really is:
"You don't realise how hard you're working because the class is broken up into lots of different activities. But you push yourself harder than you would if you were doing a workout on your own because you want to keep up with the person next to you. But, really, it's you against yourself and there's absolutely no disgrace in coming last. No, the instructors don't shout at you. There's plenty of banter and there's nothing like hearing your bib number being called out to spur you on when that voice in your head is saying, "I can't do any more!" You really can. Everyone encourages everyone else. Some of us wear activity trackers which show you cover up to 3 miles and burn up to 700 calories a class!"
Find out more about the benefits of training outdoors here and for more stories about our members, visit our BLOG.
Here's what some of our other 15,000 members have to say:
"I saw an advert on Facebook for a free BMF trial session, and thought, why not? Got nothing to lose, except my breath. When I got there, to my surprise (and relief) I saw lots of people of all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities. The bib system means that the super sporty people go off and get the workout they need, while beginners like me work with people of a similar fitness. Now when I go, I tell the newbies: "This is your hardest session. If you can do this one, you can do them all."
Melissa Knight
"I thought I was fit doing three body combat and four gym sessions per week. Now I'm really fit! BMF gives you confidence. You feel so chilled and relaxed after a session. Also, you laugh a lot and it just feels so damn good! I couldn't imagine not doing BMF."
Alison Kiely
"I have done three sessions and am behind all the blues, but I absolutely love it! I have given up my gym membership, and am determined not to be fat and fifty."

A leader in the Missouri General Assembly on Friday expressed cautious optimism that legislators this year will pass changes to the state�s school-transfer law that local officials say are badly needed.
�It�s early, so I�m hopeful,� state Rep. Mike Cierpiot said at a legislative breakfast held Friday morning by the Blue Springs Chamber of Commerce. Cierpiot, R-Lee�s Summit, is the assistant majority floor leader in the House.
Legislators convened this week, and Cierpiot said the school-transfer questions would be one of three issues that would take up the biggest parts of legislators� time in this session.
Under state law, students in an unaccredited school district, such as Kansas City�s, can transfer to another district in the same county or an adjoining county � at the expense of the unaccredited district. Officials argue that could lead to a large wave of students that could overwhelm accredited districts while making things worse, financially, for a district such as Kansas City.
�For our districts this could be devastating, and it could be devastating for Kansas City, losing thousands of students,� said state Rep. Sheila Solon, R-Blue Springs.
Cierpiot said legislators tend to be split on education issues, those who side with teachers and education establishment and those who favor significant school reforms.
�Both sides are geared up. Both sides are heard from,� he said. �Both sides can kill something. It�s easier to get something killed than to get it passed.�
But Cierpiot said he sees hope in a bill filed by Sen. David Pearce, who usually aligns himself with educators. That bill, like others, would let accredited districts establish caps on classroom sizes and in effect declare an overall student capacity and then not be compelled to take students beyond that number. His bill also would call for accreditation by school, not district, and let Kansas City students in failing schools transfer into ones that are succeeding.
�Some of them are doing very well,� Cierpiot said.
He said legislators in the reform camp have indicated they might be OK with Pearce�s approach.
�So I�m hopeful that we can use that as a starting point. ... because it�s something that we really need to do,� Cierpiot said.
Solon added, �That is the biggest issue facing lawmakers from Kansas City and St. Louis.�
Cierpiot said the other two major issues will be cutting state income taxes and taking up proposals to restructure and perhaps expand Medicaid, one of Gov. Jay Nixon�s highest priorities.
�But the Senate is telling us that they have no interest (on Medicaid),� Cierpiot said, �so I don�t know what we�re going to do with it.�
Nixon and legislators have disagreed this year on state revenue projections for the budget year that begins July 1, and Republican legislators are still upset with the Democratic governor�s decision last year to withhold funds in case an income tax cut was enacted over his veto and revenues fell. The veto held up, and the funding was released.
This year, Republicans are making another run at a tax cut, but only if state revenues overall are still going up. Cierpiot said legislators will likely pass supplemental spending bills, directing money to schools and universities.
� ... but we want to make sure the money is there,� he said.
Solon said she favored a simpler approach.
�I believe we need to cut taxes,� she said.

The Tecumseh city council on Monday authorized the city manager to enact water restrictions for the city whenever he feels the time is appropriate.
The Tecumseh city council on Monday authorized the city manager to enact water restrictions for the city whenever he feels the time is appropriate.
City Manager Jimmy Stokes told the council he feels like they should look at restrictions now, as both Shawnee Twin Lakes and Wes Watkins Reservoir are getting lower by the day.
The city of Tecumseh currently purchases treated water from the city of Shawnee, which pulls its water from those two sources.
Councilors said they assumed Tecumseh residents would follow whatever restrictions are set in Shawnee, but Stokes said he feels Tecumseh residents need to be more mindful of their water use.
"Sometimes I feel we need to be stricter," Stokes said, adding Shawnee only has to sell Tecumseh up to 663,000 gallons per day.
"We push that some days in the wintertime," Stokes, said, worried about usage increasing as they go into spring.
"I understand people want to have shrubs, trees and pretty flowers…but I want to live and you gotta have water to live," Stokes said. "We need to make sure we conserve our water."
Stokes talked about one Tecumseh resident who reuses her dishwashing water for use on her flowers.
"She grew up in a time when she had to do that…she's very conscience of water," he said, adding water is not as easy to come by these days.
And with drought conditions, "water's not cheap and there's' not much of it," Stokes added.
The council voted unanimously to allow Stokes to make any future restrictions as needed.
Before the meeting ever got under way, new Ward 1 Councilor Linda Farris took her oath of office for the seat. She was appointed last month to succeed the retiring Lou Sutterfield.
In other business, the council held two public hearings involving possibly declaring two homes on 13th Street as public nuisances.
In the matter involving 1509 N. 13th, the property owners had representation by a Shawnee attorney to question and define the problems of junk and derelict cars. The code enforcement officer said the problems in question had been cleaned up of that day so the issue was dismissed.
In another issue for 1110 N. 13th, the property owner told the council her home was a 40-acre farm so there are items there not associated with city lots. Code enforcement has been working with her on an unused and dilapidated trailer on the property as well as many vehicles that aren't running. After a year working toward a cleanup there, the council voted to give her 45 days to get the trailer hauled off the property and will send her a formal letter outlining the action needed.

Late last night, Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4 - sort of. It's got a custom 8-core AMD x86-64 processor, 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, and a custom Radeon-based graphics chip. It's also got additional chips to offload specific tasks like video (de)compression (livestreaming is built-in!), and there's a large focus on streaming games, but most of it is "an ultimate goal" instead of a definitive feature. It won't play PS3 discs (but will eventually stream many PS3 games), and, while there's some weaselwording involved, second hand games are safe. The biggest surprise? The console itself wasn't shown because it's not done yet. No joke. No price, no release date (other than somewhere before the holidays).

Huge snowfall cripples midwest
EDITOR'S NOTE: The National Weather Service office from Pleasant Hill, Mo. reported that Randolph County received about 6-inches of snow by 6 a.m. today, and an additional 4 to 6 inches could accumulate by nightfall.
The overnight snowfall was mixed with rain and as a result tree limbs and power lines are sagging, with some residents of the county area have reported power outages including Huntsville. At 7:30 a.m. a power line was reported down along County Road 2275, located southwest of Moberly near the Knights of Columbus Paradise Park.
Most all schools within at least 60-mile radius of Randolph County cancelled classes for today, several businesses are closed, and many special evening activities for tonight have been postponed or cancelled due to the wintry weather.
The Missouri Department of Transportation issued an urgent "no travel advisory" for all motorists – unless it's for an emergency – for the duration of recent snow storm through at least Wednesday mid-morning as MoDOT and other local crews work to clear roadways for a more safer and better travel.
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The second major snowstorm in a week battered the nation's midsection Tuesday, dropping a half-foot or more of snow across Missouri and Kansas and cutting power to thousands. Gusting winds blew drifts more than 2 feet high and created treacherous driving conditions for those who dared the morning commute.
About 40,000 people in northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas awoke to no power as heavy, wet snow weighed on power lines. Kansas City, Mo., was in a state of emergency as blinding snowfall — made worst by sustained gusts estimated at 30 mph or higher — made car and truck traffic too dangerous. About 8 inches of new snow had fallen on parts of the Kansas City metro area as the sun rose Tuesday.
Flights in and out of Kansas City International Airport were canceled, schools, government offices and businesses across the region were closed. City buses were getting stuck.
Numerous accidents were reported in the area, and Mayor Sly James declared the emergency in an unwanted encore to a major snowstorm that dumped nearly a foot of snow on his city just five days earlier. He urged residents to stay home, given that the new storm was expected to dump nearly a foot of new snow on the city.
"This one has the potential to be quite serious," James said.
A strong low pressure system fueled the storm, which also included heavy rain and thunderstorms in eastern Oklahoma and Texas.
The storm knocked power out to thousands of homes in Texas and Oklahoma and was blamed for the death of a 21-year-old man whose SUV hit an icy patch on Interstate 70 in northwestern Kansas and overturned Monday. In Oklahoma, a person was killed after 15 inches of snow brought down part of a roof in the northwest town of Woodward.
In the Texas Panhandle, wind gusts up to 75 mph and heavy snow had made all roads impassable and created whiteout conditions, said Paul Braun, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation. A hurricane-force gust of 75 mph was recorded at the Amarillo, Texas, airport. The city saw the biggest snowfall total in Texas with 17 inches.
Motorists were stranded throughout the Texas Panhandle, with the NWS in Lubbock reporting as many as 100 vehicles at a standstill on Interstate 27.
Schools and major highways in the Texas Panhandle remained closed for a second day Tuesday. State officials said they hoped that stretches of Interstate 40 near the Oklahoma border, which have been closed since Monday morning, would reopen by Tuesday afternoon. Whiteout conditions further impeded efforts to clear roads of more than a foot of snow in western Oklahoma early Tuesday.
Texas Tech's men's basketball team stayed overnight at a hotel in Manhattan, Kan., after playing Kansas State on Monday night, rather try to drive back to Lubbock. Also late Monday, officials with Oklahoma State University announced it would be closed Tuesday due to the weather.
The American Red Cross opened a shelter Monday night in Woodward, Okla., for stranded travelers. It also told its volunteers and workers in Kansas City to be prepared to help in the case of power outages or large numbers of stranded travelers.
Area hospitals closed outpatient and urgent care centers, and the University of Missouri canceled classes for Tuesday. The Missouri Department of Transportation issued a "no travel" advisory asking people to stay off affected highways except in case of a dire emergency.
Meteorologist Mike Umscheid of the National Weather Service office in Dodge City, Kan., said this latest storm combined with the storm last week will help alleviate the drought conditions that have plagued farmers and ranchers across the Midwest, and could be especially helpful to the winter wheat crop planted last fall.
But getting two back-to-back storms of this magnitude doesn't mean the drought is finished.
"If we get one more storm like this with widespread 2 inches of moisture, we will continue to chip away at the drought, but to claim the drought is over or ending is way too premature," Umscheid said.

Leavenworth authorities are following up on a report that a man had a knife placed to his throat by a woman who wanted her gas money back, a police spokesman said.
Leavenworth authorities are following up on a report that a man had a knife placed to his throat by a woman who wanted her gas money back, a police spokesman said.
The victim, a 21-year-old man, was able to protect himself from the woman and another assailant by locking himself in his vehicle and calling 911, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
The incident was reported at 2:43 p.m. Friday in the 200 block of Dakota Street.
The victim reported to police that he was approached outside of his apartment by the woman and a man.
"The female displayed a knife and held it against his throat," Nicodemus said. "She demanded money from him that she had given him for gas."
When the victim refused, the other man reached into his waistband. This suspect threatened to shoot the victim if he didn't get into a car with him.
"The victim believed he was reaching for a gun," Nicodemus said.
The victim jumped into his own truck and locked the door. He then called 911.
Nicodemus said the suspects tried to get into the victim's truck. But they ended up leaving in the male suspect's car before police arrived.
"We were unable to find the suspects," Nicodemus said.
He said the victim identified the woman.
The deputy chief said police will follow up on the case as much as they can. He expressed concern about the victim not being available to follow through with the case. The victim indicated he plans to move to California.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 2)
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
1959 Fleer Ted WilliamsTed Williams was one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game ! The 'Splendid Splinter' played from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 all with the Boston Red Sox. He missed 1943 thru 1945 due to military duty when he was a pilot during the wars. For his career he hit .344 with 521 home runs. Ted Williams was one of the biggest stars baseball has ever seen, and his baseball cards remain very popular and valuable.
Ted's rookie card was in 1950 Bowman and he was exclusive with Bowman from 1950 thru 1954. In 1954 he also allowed Topps to make his cards which they did from 1954 thru 1958.
In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps and assumed the star Ted Williams would be retiring, put out an entire 80-card set of cards highlighting Ted Williams and illustrating his life both in and out of baseball. Williams decided late in the fall to resign for another year perhaps damaging the sets impact. Today these cards remain extremely popular with most of the cards in teh set still quite affordable.
There is one very rare card in this set, #68 picturing Ted with Bucky Harris.
UNFORTUNATELY Topps had Bucky Harris under exclusive contract and
Fleer had to quickly halt production of this card making it a significant
SHORT PRINT. Only a few made it out to the public. This card is quite rare,
hardly ever seen and a plain old simple checklist making it the perfect
candidate for counterfeiting.
Other interesting cards are those that picture Ted with Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Sam Snead and Jim Thorpe. In addition, cards of Ted fishing or with his airplane are also very popular.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams baseball cards Checklist and Prices
1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

For 30 years, Wreck-It Ralph has played the villain inside an arcade video game. Each time a child puts a quarter into the machine, he starts smashing a high-rise apartment building. As the residents begin to panic, out pops "Fix-It Felix" with his magic hammer to repair the damage Wreck-It Ralph has done. At the end of the game, Ralph is banished, while Felix is showered with praise and given a bright, shiny medal.
The only problem is, when the arcade closes and all the characters inside the games come to life, similar to "Toy Story," Ralph still is ostracized, and he's beginning to grow tired of feeling so lonely. He wants to escape from the "bad guy" label, and he longs to have friends and be accepted like Felix. So, Ralph decides to break the rules and venture outside his own video game and into "Hero's Duty," a modern first-person shooter game, where he hopes to win a medal of his own. However, things don't go quite as well as he planned, and his actions threaten not just his own game, but all of the other games in the arcade.
Disney's Oscar-nominated animated movie "Wreck-It Ralph" was released on DVD this week, and it's a clever, charming film that appeals to both younger viewers and adult gamers who remember going to arcades when they were kids. If you didn't get a chance to catch it in theaters, it's well worth renting.
Ralph's journey takes him inside several different video games in the arcade, including "Hero's Duty" and a candy and dessert themed racing game called "Sugar Rush." Inside "Sugar Rush," Ralph meets a character named Vanellope von Schweetz, a "glitch" who isn't allowed to race in the game. Though Vanellope drives him crazy at first, their eventual friendship causes Ralph to rethink his purpose inside his own game and to make peace with Fix-It Felix.
My favorite part of "Wreck-It Ralph" was, without question, the visual effects. The animation is colorful and eye-catching, and I loved how the film makers created a unique environment for each video game. Wreck-It Ralph's own game reminds viewers of some of the early video games with simple graphics, such as "Pac-Man," and "Hero's Duty" represents today's slickly-designed, high-resolution games. The soundtrack of the film also is fun, very reminiscent of classic video game music.
While there are plenty of great cameos from famous video game characters � Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog and Q*bert are just a few � Wreck-It Ralph introduces some memorable new characters, as well. Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) really isn't a villainous "bad guy," and while he may have a temper, he also has a lot of heart. Jane Lynch voices a tough, take-no-prisoners soldier named Sergeant Calhoun from "Hero's Duty" who shoots off commands and insults as fast as she fires bullets, and Jack McBrayer is humorous as the dedicated and occasionally a bit too earnest Fix-It Felix, who develops a crush on Calhoun.
One concept I wish the film makers had explored a little more is the impact of the shift from simpler games like Pac-Man to today's complex first-person shooters, and how home gaming systems have drawn customers away from arcades. With intense, fast-paced modern video games, we've perhaps lost some of the innocence and fun of those early games. This idea is touched on a few times during the film but never really fleshed out.
While "Wreck-It Ralph" doesn't pack quite the same emotional punch as Pixar's "Toy Story" films, I still very much enjoyed it. "Wreck-It Ralph" is a creative and fun film, and a treat for anymore who loves classic video games.

Some Lafourche Parish parents are criticizing a school program that rewards students for good behavior as unfair and inflexible, while school staff and other parents maintain the system is fair and effective.
Some Lafourche Parish parents are criticizing a school program that rewards students for good behavior as unfair and inflexible, while school staff and other parents maintain the system is fair and effective.
The complaints concern the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports system.
Each school creates its own system, determining what a student must do to earn rewards and what rewards are offered.
Some parents say the rules for their programs don't take into account students with special needs or circumstances.
Sharon Dufrene, for example, said her grandson, Ty Johnson, wasn't allowed to participate in the Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports programs at Lockport Upper Elementary School because of missed class time.
Ty has nephrotic syndrome, a chronic kidney condition that forces him to regularly miss school for doctors' visits.
"In my mind, they're discriminating against him because of his disability," Dufrene said. "He is a good student with no discipline issues, and he makes good grades."
The school's system rewards students for attendance. Students with solid attendance records were invited to a party during school hours and given free time.
Ty was disqualified from the party because of his absences, even though they were excused, Dufrene said.
"I know the program isn't supposed to be about punishment," Dufrene said. "But when he's in the classroom doing busy work while his classmates are having a party, it seems to him like he's being punished for his condition."
Dufrene has asked the School Board to change its policy to allow Ty to participate but has so far been unsuccessful. She started an online petition on the website Change.org. That petition has so far gathered more than 300 signatures from around the world, including many parents who claim to face similar problems.
Ray Bernard, the school system's child welfare and attendance supervisor, said his office frequently gets complaints from parents upset that their student didn't get Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports rewards. He emphasized that schools aren't punishing students who don't receive the rewards.
"This is a way to encourage good behavior, not a way to punish anybody," Bernard said.
Bernard said children who miss school for legitimate medical absences aren't punished for those absences. Even if a student misses more than the maximum 11 class days, the school system often grants exceptions.
"We certainly work with students and their parents so that we're not hurting anybody who has a legitimate reason to miss school," he said.
Bernard pointed out that every school has to send out a notice to parents with the rules for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports.
"Everybody knows what the rules are going into it," he said.
Other parents said the program often misses students who work hard and behave well but don't achieve top grades.
"To me, it seems all they are worried about is 4.0 kids and that's it," wrote Rhonda Billiot on Facebook. "They have parties for the kids that meet benchmarks on tests. If my kid doesn't meet the benchmark, he has to go somewhere else."
But other parents said they think the system is useful.
"The PBIS did a tremendous job on my child," said Caseylynn Loupe. "He's learned that he isn't rewarded for bad behavior, and it's made him work that much harder."
Staff Writer Matthew Albright can be reached at 448-7635 or at email@example.com.

A community garden planning meeting will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Mar. 4, at the MSU Extension Ionia Office, 50 E Sprague Rd. in Ionia. The meeting is open to existing community gardens, new community gardens, and anyone who just wants to learn more about community gardens.
By Penny Beeman
The American Community Gardening Association (ACGA) suggests that community gardens offer a number of benefits to a community, including:
• Improves the quality of life for people in the garden
• Provides a catalyst for neighborhood and community development
• Stimulates social interaction
• Encourages self-reliance
• Beautifies neighborhoods
• Produces nutritious food
• Reduces family food budgets
• Conserves resources
• Creates opportunity for recreation, exercise, therapy, and education
• Reduces crime
• Preserves green space
• Creates income opportunities and economic development
• Reduces city heat from streets and parking lots
• Provides opportunities for intergenerational and cross-cultural connections
The ACGA says a community garden can be urban, suburban or rural. It can grow flowers, vegetables or community. It can be one community plot, or it can be many individual plots. It can be at a school, at a hospital, at a church, or in a neighborhood. It can also be a series of plots dedicated to "urban agriculture" where the produce is grown for a market.
Community Food Network
One in six people in the U.S. don't know where their next meal is coming from. Here in our community, we are lucky enough to have the Community Food Network (CFN), a collaborative of individuals, local businesses and organizations in Ionia and Montcalm counties who are helping community gardens and food pantries work together to ensure that no one goes hungry in the two-county area. Anyone who wants to help with community gardens or distributing food to those in need are welcome to join.
Fresh fruits and vegetables grown in local community gardens are distributed to families in need through local food pantries, soup kitchens, and other distribution resources. Volunteers pick up produce from the gardens, sort and package the produce into family size portions and deliver it to food pantries. Food pantries then distribute the available produce to clients who need help. Other distribution resources include the food truck run by Feeding America and local soup kitchens.
In 2009, volunteers contributed more than 935 hours in community gardens and provided more than 34,155 lbs of fresh produce to local food pantries.
The CFN was started in 2009 in Ionia County with seven gardens that raised produce for local food pantries. In 2010, the network increased to 12 community gardens, three of which serve as educational gardens for youth. In 2011, the Community Food Network grew to include Montcalm County and added four more community gardens to the network.
The Community Food Network works with a number of organizations, including the United Way and Volunteer Connections of Montcalm-Ionia Counties, MSU Extension and its Master Gardener programs, the Ionia County Health Department and the Mid-Michigan District Health Department. The CFN is a recipient of the Volunteer Generation Fund from the Michigan Community Service Commission and Volunteer Centers of Michigan.
If you live in Ionia or Montcalm County, and would like to get involved with community gardens, visit the website at www.ioniahost.com/garden for garden-specific information and other resources, or volunteer.liveunitedm-i.org for volunteer opportunities near you.
Check out the CFN's new blog at communityfoodnetwork.blogspot.com. It's for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date on what is taking place with community gardens, food pantries, or other hunger issues.
A community garden planning meeting will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Mar. 4, at the MSU Extension Ionia Office, 50 E Sprague Rd. in Ionia. The meeting is open to existing community gardens, new community gardens, and anyone who just wants to learn more about community gardens. If you are looking for ideas, tips or tricks, please join us for this planning meeting for your chance to learn what other gardens are planning for 2013.
