Joyce Mae Mills
Joyce Mae Mills, age 89, of Trout Lake passed away Friday morning, Nov. 2, 2012 at Evergreen Living Center in St. Ignace. Joyce was born in Battle Creek on June 4, 1923 to Clare and Kate (Keto McCain) Farwell. Growing up Joyce lived in various places where her father's work as a conservation officer took her family. She shared memories of enjoying roller skating in Crystal Falls down to Fortune Lake to swim, driving to Escanaba, and her dad taking her up the fire tower in Paradise.

Joyce was an exceptional cook and worked in many restaurants in the area, lastly working as prep cook for McGowan's restaurant until she was 79. She was known for her homemade soups, pies, and breads especially Danish rolls and her famous mocha bars she made for her family and friends at Christmas.

Harry Potter - A Hero's Journey
by Karin Hoffmann
A character in a novel who has a 'real' chart? Hard to imagine. Still, a character like Harry Potter whose story has been a bestseller for years, whose destiny is followed by many, is of interest to the astrologer. What is it that makes this story so successful? Well, obviously, fantasy is a popular genre, J.K. Rowling's style is very gripping, and of course, good marketing and the films add to the success story.
Still: I wonder if there is more to it than meets the eye. Rowling appears to hit a nerve with her story of the "magician's apprentice", she touches on collective themes that reach people. The story is about finding an identity and a purpose, finding a place in society, it is about values, about 'good and evil', about meeting one's own shadow, about life and death, and not least it is about love.
So, what about Harry? Can we calculate a chart for the boy? This article is admittedly a very associative journey through Harry's potential horoscope. As the time of birth is unknown, we are entering the realm of speculation. However, I have found fascinating and symbolic coincidences.
Harry Potter was born in 31st July 1980. The place of birth is Godric's Hollow, a town inhabited exclusively by wizards and witches. Muggles (non-magical people) will hardly be able to find it on a map. According to the Harry Potter Lexicon, Godric's Hollow is most likely situated in South Wales, in Glamorgan or Dyfed. For simplicity's sake, I will take a town in the central part of that area: Ammanford. [1]
Now, what is the birth time? There is no reference to the exact time in the books nor in the lexicon, so my colleague and I have played around a bit. Harry is part of the generation with Uranus in Scorpio. A Scorpio ascendant conjunct Uranus? Why not? Harry has black, bushy and uncontrollable hair sticking up at the back - that could suit a Scorpio AC with Uranian influence quite well. He is quite small for his age, which fits with A.T. Mann's description of the 20th - 25th degree of Scorpio. Uranus is at 21°30' Scorpio. Uranus on the Ascendant: Since age one Harry has had a lightning-shaped (!) scar on his forehead. There is hardly anything more Uranian than a lightning bolt ... So, let's assume the hypothetical birth time at 15.25 local time, which places Harry's Ascendant at about 20 degrees Scorpio.
If we look at the transits, we find that Chiron - also known as the "wounded healer" - is almost exactly conjunct the Descendant when Harry receives his wound. This happens on 31st October 1981. The progressed Ascendant has advanced by a little more than a degree and is exactly conjunct Uranus. This is the day when Lord Voldemort forcefully enters the Potter's house and kills Harry's parents. His father - in the chart represented by the Sun - is killed instantly when he tries to protect his wife and child. Harry is left without a male example to follow and to help find his own identity (Sun). His mother Lily then courageously shields her son from Voldemort's curse and sacrifices her life for his. It is her love and self-sacrifice that protects Harry from the deathly curse. With the assumed birth time, Harry's Moon is in the last degree of Pisces, a sign which symbolises like no other sacrifice from love. When Voldemort wants to kill the child, the fatal curse rebounds onto himself. Lord Voldemort loses his body and his power. Harry survives but he receives a permanent wound: a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.
The Descendant in the chart represents the opponent, the 'other', the one whom we meet on a par; and on a par they meet because Harry is the first human to survive the Avada Kedavra curse. The Descendant also marks the cusp of the 7th house, the house of open enemies. Voldemort finds in Harry an opponent who is his equal, despite his young age. This is the beginning of a fated and painful connection between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. The prophecy states: "Neither can live while the other survives". Chiron on the Descendant: the wound is received by 'the other'. [2]
At this time, the progressed Medium Coeli is exactly conjunct natal Jupiter. Harry's future holds a great task which concerns the whole of society, and it all begins on this 31st October 1981. For this task, the "boy who lived" needs a good measure of luck and foresight, and he needs to believe that there is a higher meaning to it all, that he has to live his life purposefully, and that he has to outgrow himself. These are certainly some of the characteristics provided by Jupiter conjunct the Midheaven. And at the same time we can see the toughness and difficulty of the task. With Saturn in the 10th house, Harry is not able to escape his "duty to society" and his responsibility for the part he plays in it. In one of the later volumes, his divinity teacher Sybil Trelawny tells him that he has a "dominant Saturn" and that therefore he will have to face hardship and misfortune.
It is also interesting that on this 31st October 1981, transiting Saturn is conjunct the midpoint of the old and the new ruler of the Ascendant, Mars and Pluto. Saturn, the protector of the threshold, formerly known as the master of death, is placed between aggression and metamorphosis. Through aggression Harry loses his parents, his survival is endangered and his life takes a completely different course. This is a foreshadowing of Harry's duty (Saturn) to fight (Mars) the dark side of the soul (Pluto).
Transiting Pluto and Jupiter, however, are conjunct in the eleventh house: blessing in disguise, and a grand task for the wizarding world, even for humanity, including Muggles, is ahead of him.
But for the moment, Harry is unaware of his fated future, and he spends the next 10 years of his life in the cupboard under the stairs at his aunt's and uncle's house (pure Muggles!). To them he is all but welcome, and his origins as a son of a witch and wizard are not appreciated, even perceived with suspicion. In their eyes, Harry is a "freak", an outsider (Uranus on the Ascendant).
This state, however, cannot be permanent. With a Leo Sun in the 9th house, it is essential for Harry to enter the archetypal hero's journey, in order to find his own core, his own identity. He has to conquer strange and foreign territory, and his most important drive and strongest protection time and again is his confidence in what his heart (Leo Sun) tells him, his trust in his inner fire. And with Chiron transiting the Sun during this year, it is an appropriate time to start. His task, set 10 years ago, is about to begin. Seven times, through seven school years and seven volumes, Harry makes his journey, the departure from home, the adventures and the return - each time becoming a little more mature and grown-up, finding a little more of his identity.
On his eleventh birthday the extraordinary thing happens, and history takes its course. Harry receives an invitation to visit Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For a second time, his life's journey surprisingly changes - or rather: it continues where it stopped when he was one year old.
Saturn, the strict teacher, has entered the third house of learning. It is not surprising that it is an usual kind of learning, as the third house cusp in Harry's chart is in Aquarius - and Aquarius is certainly associated with the extraordinary and eccentric. Transiting Saturn also makes a creative but hard to access bi-quintile to the Midheaven which represents the life's task or vocation.
The North Node of the 1991 solar return chart is opposite Harry's natal Mercury in Cancer in the 8th house. The nodal axis on Mercury completes a T-Square to natal Pluto. Harry has intuitive access to occult wisdom, to mysteries which remain unknown to the ordinary mind; he has faculties which he and his Muggle relatives cannot explain or comprehend. For example, on the occasion of a visit to the zoo, he sets a Brazilian Boa Constrictor free - to the utmost horror of his cousin Dudley. The snake of course being a fitting symbol of Pluto and the 8th house. The transiting nodal axis brings these unusual gifts to light.
In the solar return chart, Jupiter is conjunct the Leo Ascendant, and both of them are in conjunction with Harry's natal North Node. With the nodal axis in Leo-Aquarius (houses 9 - 3), the title of Harry's book of life is "self-realisation through insight". The main task is to develop his own unique identity, his solar creativity, his true Self (Leo), by continually challenging the ideals and ideologies of society (Aquarius). He has to find a balance between his place in the wizarding world and himself as an individual. This life's theme is triggered now.
And: Jupiter conjunct Ascendant in the solar return chart: this is the happiest day in Harry's life. He breaks out from the constrictions of the Dursley's home, and sets out to conquer a new, big, exciting and unknown world.
Solar Uranus trines and Solar Mars conjuncts the natal Midheaven. Uranus brings liberation from the current way of life and indicates a sudden and radical change of direction in Harry's life path. Solar Mars conjunct the Virgo MC acts a starting shot, indicates struggles but also pioneering - in a Virgoan way: Harry always reaches his goals with the gifts of flexibility, quick analysis of the situation and pragmatic use of the available resources; and of course, with a good portion of luck which is provided by his natal Jupiter on the MC.
Also in 1991, transiting Pluto has reached the opposition to natal Chiron. This is the beginning of a long struggle with his opponent - for life and death (Pluto). Wounder and Wounded engage in a struggle for survival, the issues at stake are metamorphosis (of Voldemort who regains his human form, and of Harry who grows a boy to manhood - rather more quickly and intensely than is the case for his fellow students) and letting go (of fear, of power, of innocence). It is a struggle about life and death, and not least about the darker sides of life, the dark sides in oneself which mercilessly penetrate Harry's life. Now is the time to look at an old wound once more, to confront it and finally to accept it, in order to allow change to happen. The theme is also represented and gains momentum through the conjunction of progressed Mars with natal Pluto - the old and the new ruler of the Ascendant finally meet. The theme which started at Harry's birth (represented by the Ascendant) will be dominating the next seven years of his life.
Much could be written about these important years of leaving home and travelling into the unknown, of great adventures with the help of his friends and his mentor Dumbledore, and of coming back home to the place of security. Each year being a story of initiation, a preparation for the last, decisive meeting with Lord Voldemort, with the dark side of humanity, of the soul, a meeting with his own shadow side.
During his last year at Hogwarts, in 1998, Chiron transits Harry's natal Ascendant and Uranus. 17 years after the first encounter, they meet for a last time. In the end, it is a duell between the two "heroes", a painful fight for Harry's own existence, his identity and at the same time for humanity. It is all about life and death, about "I" and "Thou" - no, it is even necessary for both to die in order to regain the balance.
Like Chiron in the myth, Harry chooses death. Why? A part of Voldemort's soul continues to live within Harry. It is only through Harry's death that Voldemort can die as well. After all, the Descendant is the 'other' as well as part of the self. Voldemort is prepared to pay every price to attain immortality. However, what he doesn't know: when the fatal curse he cast on Harry 17 years ago failed, a part of his own soul has passed to Harry. With Harry's death, another part of Voldemort's soul will die. And now Harry gives away his own life, and with it Voldemort's chance for immortality. He gives it from a free heart. The individual who fights for the greater good of human kind (Sun in the 9th house). With transiting Chiron on the Ascendant, Harry is prepared to leave his body (Ascendant), in order to bring liberation for humanity (Uranus conjunct AC!). Only by giving the "I", the physical form, can the "Thou" - Voldemort - finally die. Only by accepting his destiny unquestioningly, can he bring heal the woes of the world. This is Chiron.
Chiron in the myth gives his life to free Prometheus from eternal suffering and is placed by Jupiter/Zeus in the constellation of Sagittarius. Prometheus/Uranus is free, the spirit of humanity and of the individual has defeated the ideology of the "super-human", the pure-blood wizard. The latter could also have been a Uranian-Scorpionic ideal - and it is not by accident that Harry and Voldemort are so closely linked - two sides of a coin.
Now that neither can live while the other survives, the symbol of the wound can be integrated as part of the Self. By accepting the connection with Voldemort, the dark side, and giving his own life, the connection can be dissolved and Harry resurrect. Ascendant and Descendant are integrated, are part of his own identity.
Harry survives. A second time. He survives, exactly because he has given his life voluntarily. Yet another time, the power of self-sacrifice of the Pisces Moon is demonstrated. But this time, it wasn't the mother who has given herself but Harry himself. He has integrated the Moon as part of himself and left the realm of childhood. And at the end of his 7-year-struggle, his hero's journey, Harry emerges with his own, undivided identity. During the whole year transiting Uranus/Prometheus has opposed Harry's Leo Sun in 9.
At the decisive moment, Harry's parents were with him - they accompanied him (in spirit) to the end and gave him the strength to give his life and resurrect. Moon and Sun, mother and father, soul and spirit.

- Niwot High School: Sheriff's office still working to ID suspects in bomb threat, hit list
- Jan 11:
- Bomb-sniffing dogs clear Niwot High following threats, school likely to reopen Monday
- Bomb threat, discovery of "hit list" close Niwot High School
- Jan 10:
- Niwot High School closed until Monday after discovery of 'hit list'
Law enforcement professionals will be visibly present at Niwot High School when classes resume on Monday, principal Dennis Daly notified parents on Saturday.
Daly wrote, however, that despite that presence, "Niwot's teachers and staff will be focused on education excellence and returning the building's learning environment to normal."
The St. Vrain Valley School District canceled Niwot High's Friday classes after a "hit list," reportedly containing 20 to 30 names, was found there on Thursday. That followed a discovery earlier last week of a bomb threat scrawled in a school bathroom.
Daly said in his Saturday letter to parents and guardians of Niwot students that trained professionals with bomb-sniffing bombs had swept the school "and found no indications of explosive materials or devices."
Daly also wrote that the Boulder County Sheriff's Office has gotten numerous tips that its detectives have been evaluating throughout the weekend, and that detectives "are speaking with persons of interest."
The Niwot principal said the school district "has suspended one student until a number of concerns related to the incident have been resolved," but he didn't give more specifics in his letter about what those concerns are or the reason for the suspension.
Sheriff's Cmdr. Rick Brough confirmed in a Saturday night telephone interview that officers "have talked to a lot of people" who might have information that could help in the investigation.
As far as possible suspects, though, Brough said that "I wouldn't say we've narrowed it down to any one person."
Daly wrote that "based on the information and recommendations we are receiving from law enforcement and the extensive security measures in place, Niwot High School is ready to move forward."

Eagle-Net, a quasi-government-run Internet service provider, was originally awarded a $100 million stimulus grant. KUSA-TV in Denver reports the company was notified Thursday that funds are being suspended because of questions over compliance on environmental and other issues.
The company says it is working to answer the complaints.
"We take this very seriously and are working closely with the NTIA (National Telecommunications & Information Administration) to provide this information in order to resume construction as quickly as possible," it stated in a release sent Friday. "Our current customers and community anchor institutions will not be impacted."
Included among the company's community anchor institutions are RE-1 Valley School District, Sterling Public Library and Northeastern Junior College. School districts in Merino, Fleming and Peetz are also served by Eagle-Net, as are schools and libraries across northeast Colorado.
"This suspension is about satisfying all of NTIA's requests for information. To fulfill NTIA's requests, we have been and will continue to provide updated project information to finalize all compliance requirements," Eagle-Net's statement read.
The company noted that the order to suspend construction is not expected to have much impact on its build schedule because the 2012 season was already winding down. However, it said it is "working diligently to get construction started as soon as possible."
Separately, some members of Colorado's congressional delegation have questioned the company's service.
According to KUSA-TV, Rep. Cory Gardner called for the NTIA to suspend stimulus funding for Eagle-Net.
"I hope this is the beginning of answers for Colorado taxpayers," Gardner was reported as saying. "And this is another stimulus funded program that appears to have significant problems in the way that it was run and the way it was managed."
In one case, the company installed a fiber optic line in Flagler in eastern Colorado where two other private companies already have fiber optic lines.
Journal-Advocate managing editor Sara Waite contributed to this report.

There's no stopping Sofia Vergara. The star of "Modern Family" was named the highest paid actress on U.S. TV for the third straight year.
Vergara only pulls in $325,000 for each episode of the comedy series, but she still landed the top spot on Forbes magazine's annual list with an estimated $37 million for earnings from June 2013 to June 2014. The 42-year-old Colombian actress made most of her millions with endorsement deals that include Diet Pepsi and Cover Girl.
"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star Mariska Hargitay retained second place with $13 million. "The Big Bang Theory" actress Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting took third with $11 million.
With the fourth highest earnings were Julianna Margulies of "The Good Wife," Ellen Pompeo of "Grey's Anatomy" and Cobie Smulders from "How I Met Your Mother" with $10 million each. Smulders' former castmate Alyson Hannigan missed joining that trio by only half a million dollars.

There has been much chatter in the genealogy world this week about the British Postal Service Appointment Books just released on Ancestry.
I have done some searches for the main names in my family tree. There are plenty of Dawson's in the area of Yorkshire that I am interested in – so I need to look at those when I have more time.
However, there were only fifteen Espley's plus three Aspley's and two Epsley's. So I have captured all this information in a new table in my spreadsheet.
The Espley's are:-
Wm. – 1894, 1895 and 1896 in Wellington, Shropshire
Jessie – 1910 in Wellington, Shropshire working on the telephones
Wm. – 1913 in Chester
William E – 1922 – the location isn't recorded. Employed as certified wireless watcher.
Victor G – 1933 in Bletchley as Postman manager.
Audrey M – 1935 at the Central Telegraph Office
Victor G – 1935 in Luton and 1937 in Bedford
John S – 1940, location not recorded
Frederick J W – 1947 in Stoke on Trent as a postman
Leslie – 1949 in Southampton
James F – 1953 in Stoke on Trent as a postman
If anyone can identify these particular Espley's I would love to hear from you.

Yankees - 000 101 060 - 8 12 2It was more than a bit odd that while Okajima melted down, Tito had only Papelbon up in the pen. Especially, since he went straight to Timlin in the 6th to put out a fire.
Red Sox - 011 302 000 - 7 13 2
Time of Game: 4:43
Jeemer came in with a 5-2 lead in the seventh and a man on base. Francona was managing the pen exactly right -- bringing in the best guys with the game on the line, completely ignoring what inning they have been "assigned" in the past. But he should have had another arm up -- MDC or Gagne -- alongside Bot.
It doesn't sound like Francona talked about this too much in the post-game interview (according to commenters). On a surface level, his explanation makes sense -- who would expect Jeemer and Bot to give up six runs before recording an out? Anyone wanna bet how long it'll be before that happens again?
But considering his decisions to call on with Timlin and Okajimna, I expected Francona to not be caught with his pants down in the eighth.
Lineups are in comments.

Rail contractors at the ready to aid with Northeast cleanupWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The recovery effort from Hurricane Sandy will be a monumental affair that will last weeks, if not months.
According to a bulletin sent by the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association (NRC), its members are ready to lend their services to the East Coast's passenger and freight rail systems.
Dozens of NRC member contractors and suppliers are already aiding in the recovery efforts of their rail customers. A brief selection of highlights include:
• Amtrac Railroad Contractors of Maryland Inc. is working with the Maryland Transit Administration to clear downed trees and debris from the Frederick branch and replacing crossing gates damaged by high winds.
• K.W. Reese, Inc.. is providing tree removal, debris clean up, track material distribution and washout repair services at multiple locations in Maryland and New Jersey.
• Georgetown Rail Equipment Co. (GREX) positioned their Self Powered Slot work platform at Amtrak's 30th Street Station in Philadelphia in advance of the hurricane and was on standby during the storm and flooding. They are currently doing spot ballast deliveries and will aid in Amtrak's clean-up and return to service. GREX stands ready to assist others as needed with repairs or track assessments.
• RailWorks Corporation is preparing to support NYCT with repairs and clean-up to signals, traction power and track.
• Railroad Construction Co. Inc. of South Jersey is helping the Raritan Central Railroad repair washouts, remove debris from the track and clear trees and brush.
• Sunbelt Rentals is renting large generators and high volume pumps to Amtrak, New York MTA and AMECO related to their efforts with the Navy and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Other NRC members noted their ability to help, including Enterprise Properties/American Concrete Products Co., Inc., which has a large inventory of precast and prestressed concrete products, including pile caps and box girders. Hougen Manufacturing, Inc., can provide Trak-Star Railroad drills, saws, gas impact wrench, cutters and various MOW tools, along with providing and repairing Hougen tools for all users. Orgo-Thermit, Inc., will ship their field thermit welding kits for standard rail profiles within one week of receiving a purchase order. Balfour Beatty Rail, Inc., has offices along the Eastern Seaboard on full alert and ready to deploy as needed by their customers, including their Ground Penetrating Radar services which can help locate any ballast voids or other track deficiencies. The Neel Company can provide its precast T-WALL retaining walls, which are heavy duty modular units ideal for railroad construction that can be rapidly installed. Rhinehart Railroad Construction was actively engaged prior to the hurricane in the preparation work of cleaning culverts and enlarging ditches and worked throughout the storm to keep its customers' tracks open, they are now ready with manpower, equipment and resources to help get the Mid-Atlantic region back on track.

Mark Romanek, who directed Taylor Swift's new "Shake It Off" video, is defending his work against claims it's racist.
"We simply choose styles of dance that we thought would be popular and amusing," Romanek told Vulture. "And cast the best dancers that were presented to us without much regard to race or ethnicity."
"If you look at it carefully, it's a massively inclusive piece," he said. "It's very, very innocently and positively intentioned. And -- let's remember -- it's a satirical piece. It's playing with a whole range of music video tropes and cliches and stereotypes."
Swift has been under fire since releasing the video earlier this week. In the footage, Swift goes through a number of looks and moods, including a ballerina tutu, Lady Gaga-like wig, and more.
Some people didn't like Swift's hip-hop outfit of cutoff shorts, cropped leopard print jacket, and gold hoop earrings, which she wears while crawling underneath a row of twerking dancers.
According to Us Weekly, rapper Earl Sweatshirt slammed the video on Twitter took to his Twitter to slam the visuals.
"Haven't watched the Taylor Swift video and I don't need to watch it to tell you that it's inherently offensive and ultimately harmful," Sweatshirt wrote. "Perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture ... . For instance, those of you who are afraid of black people but love that in 2014 it's OK for you to be trill or twerk or say (N-bomb)."
He knows this ... but he didn't watch it.
Romanek, who's worked on videos like Nine Inch Nails' "Closer," Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream" and others said Swift came up with the concept. "This basic idea was all Taylor's," he told Vulture. "We met and she told me that she wanted to make a sort of paean to the awkward ones, the 'uncool' kids that are actually cooler than the 'cool' kids. She said she wanted to shoot all these styles of dance and then be the individualist dork in the midst of these established genres."
Romanek said Sweatshirt should -- go figure -- watch the video before passing judgement. "In a way, the whole video is just a setup for that moment," he said. "And this is why, I think, if Earl Sweatshirt was open-minded enough to take the four minutes to watch it, he might see what the larger, humanistic, and utterly color-blind message was intended to be."

After more than an hour of debate Wednesday, an Illinois Senate panel approved a medical marijuana bill 10-5, advancing it to the full chamber.
Sponsoring Sen. William Haine, D-Alton, said he could call House Bill 1, which has already passed the House, for a Senate vote as early as next week.
Under the bill, marijuana would be available to people with at least one of 33 specific medication conditions such as cancer, HIV/AIDS and multiple sclerosis to relieve symptoms or side effects associated with prescription medications.
According to Haine, this latest version of the legislation has "much tighter safeguards" than previous versions that have failed in the General Assembly.
HB 1 bars patients from growing their own marijuana — a key provision that's turned undecided lawmakers away in the past, Haine said.
But opponents such as Sen. Matt Murphy, R-Palatine, said soft-pedaling the dangers of marijuana often leads to an increase in recreational use.
Haine and other supporters contend the legislation is designed solely to provide seriously ill people with a potentially safer alternative treatment to highly addictive narcotics.

Buried Husker Treasures Taking 50-Year Nap
Randy York's N-Sider
The Nebraska Athletic Department buried 200 time capsules at the East Stadium historic Gate 20 entrance Thursday, giving media members in hard hats the opportunity to record the event and chronicle historical markers for one of college football's most storied programs. The East Stadium commemorative time capsules represent 50 years of Nebraska football sellouts and will remain there until 2062 – the target year for what could become 100 consecutive years of Nebraska football home-game sellouts.
The idea is to give the next generation of Husker fans the opportunity to compare where we are with the way we were. Fans entering Memorial Stadium through the expanded East Stadium will have a walkway lined with Husker history this fall. A vault of 100 time capsules is now buried on each side of the entrance, and that's just part of the drama. Maggi Thorne, Nebraska's assistant director for Capital Planning and Construction, said fans also will see a very large graphic timeline depiction of Memorial Stadium's history once they're inside the door. "We've been planning all of this for a long time," she said, "and we can't wait to see how our fans embrace some of the other surprises that will go with all of that."
While everyone waits for life to take us back to the future, The N-Sider thought Big Red fans might enjoy some of the "treasures" that were buried Thursday. UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman, for instance, contributed memorable photos, a shirt, an Orange Bowl watch and some personal notes for the 2062 UNL leader to read and analyze. Shawn Eichorst, in his first year as Nebraska's athletic director, buried field passes, photos and personal notes in his time capsule. Nebraska Athletic Director Emeritus Tom Osborne filled his time capsule with a towel, a pennant and various books he thought Husker fans might enjoy reading 50 years from now. Some enterprising contributors wanted future fans to compare technology 50 years apart, so Andy Wendstrand, who works in Husker Athletic Marketing, buried an iPhone 1 with a charger, plus some creative personal notes. Juan Rico, who works in IT, donated an Android phone with a charger, so future technologists can judge which phone was superior.
Historic HuskerVision Lighting Element Buried
One intriguing piece of history buried in a time capsule Thursday was a lighting element donated by Shot Kleen, the assistant athletic director for HuskerVision. This wasn't just any lighting element. It was the first one used when Nebraska introduced big screens to college football in general and Memorial Stadium in particular. If you think that seems like ancient history now, imagine how that pivotal point of leadership might seem in 50 years. Husker Marketing buried hundreds of donated personal treasures, and we're protecting the privacy of the contributors. We can say, however, that all the photos and posters and magazines and giveaways were genuinely appreciated. Those who will see in 2062 what we don't know now includes several hundred youngsters who filled out this Time Capsule Kids Sheet to share their views of Nebraska football's future. If you think you're overly optimistic about Nebraska football, you should see their great expectations. One predicted 50 straight national championships in the next half century. We could tell that was one kid who operated without parental supervision.
The Omaha World-Herald sent us a neat packet that included a T-shirt of Warren Buffett delivering newspapers on a bike (you do know that his Berkshire Hathaway Company now owns Nebraska's biggest newspapers, don't you?). I enjoyed flipping and skimming the World-Herald's special football sections and its personal photos of sportswriters, especially the one that shows Lee Barfknecht, the award-winning scribe who often types his stories from home with his Havanese dog, Tara, sitting on his desk. The Lincoln Journal-Star did not disappoint either, sending all kinds of mementos from past Nebraska football games my way, plus an historic set of playing cards featuring Nebraska football legends and an absolutely wonderful flash drive with photos that future generations can't help but enjoy. One of Barfknecth's beats is Nebraska men's basketball, and Tim Miles made sure that his sport was represented in the time capsule burial because the Huskers are hoping to make history, too. A sold-out 2013-14 season is the first in Nebraska history, and the anticipation to play in one of America's best arenas is already yielding recruiting benefits.
Nebraska Life Skills leader Keith Zimmer supplied a flash drive of photos showing Husker student-athletes making a difference as community volunteers. His staff also submitted a booklet and various wristbands that symbolized their thoughts and causes. Nebraska Academics leader Dennis Leblanc submitted a banquet program, a desk plaque and 300 Academic All-America pins for burial to remind everyone that Nebraska reached that NCAA milestone first. Nebraska Compliance leader Jamie Vaughn offered up the 2012-13 NCAA Manual, which should be highly entertaining reading, even 50 years from now. The same thoughts apply to the Nebraska Student-Athlete Advisory Committee's donation of issues and notes and various papers to describe the top priorities of a student-athlete's daily life.
Workers Bury Tom Osborne Retirement Coins
Huskers Athletic Fund leader Paul Meyers contributed Tom Osborne retirement coins, 32-ounce commemorative cups and card stunts for the next generation to discuss. Training Table leader Dale Kruse showcased photos of how student-athletes are taken care of now, and Nutrition leaders Scott Trausch and Lindsey Remmers buried miscellaneous wrappers and drink containers to compare 2012-13 data with what will be infinitely more detailed statistics in the future, thanks to Nebraska's national leadership in that category. Nebraska Equipment leader Jay Terry offered a football jersey, a helmet sticker, a Taylor Martinez nameplate and an equipment truck model and name badge. Concessions leaders Janell Hall and Rox Rusmussen donated signs, a vendor smock and commemorative cups and wrappers.
Nebraska volleyball leader John Cook donated a medallion for time capsule burial to represent the most successful Husker women's sports program over the last half century (with all due respect to Nebraska women's track and field, softball, gymnastics and basketball). Husker men's gymnastics leader Chuck Chmelka sealed an envelope for the next generation to appreciate Nebraska's NCAA championship performances and Olympic gold medalists. Annette Werschke, who supports Nebraska's Olympic sports, donated an envelope for her grandkids to open in 2062. Lonna Kliment, a director in Marketing, donated miscellaneous items for her "future offspring" to open. Meg Lauerman's UNL Communications staff buried all kinds of publications that will help the future understand the university's story about the past. Hail Varsity, the newest publication showcasing Husker Athletics, contributed a small arsenal of magazines, photos, notes and a black towel that represents one of Nebraska's greatest traditions – the Blackshirts.
By now, you might ask, what did yours truly offer up for posterity? The answer, unfortunately, isn't all that creative. The N-Sider donated some publications that I considered historic, including David Max's book entitled 50 Years of Husker Memories, written by the co-founder of the Husker website that carries his name. David is a good friend and a Husker loyalist who has dedicated much of his adult life to enriching the Nebraska athletic experience for Big Red fans.
Helping Write 'Devaney' Was Opportunity of Lifetime
Thanks to Nebraska football historian Mike Babcock, I also included the front and back covers of the book, Devaney by Bob Devaney and Friends. That book went through five printings, and Mike and I still talk about how fun it was to collaborate with the man who rewrote Nebraska football history almost from the moment he arrived in Lincoln. Babcock and I worked with Coach Devaney and his legendary SID, Don Bryant, along with Lincoln Journal-Star Sports Editor Virgil Parker, our late boss.
Going to Devaney's home one night a week was precious time for all of us. We would ask the Hall-of-Fame coach questions that dated back to his early childhood, and he was more than willing to describe his decision to elevate Tom Osborne to the head coaching position over all the other great assistants he'd hired, many of whom went on to become head coaches at the same Division I level. Hearing Devaney explain his experiences, thoughts and philosophies helped all of us understand why he became one of America's greatest football coaches. It was indeed a fascinating journey of leadership, loyalty and unshakeable faith in each other.
Life was much different in 1962 when Devaney arrived in Nebraska, and it will be even more diverse in 2062. That's what makes all the treasures that construction workers buried Thursday so important. The time capsules housed in two vaults over the next 50 years will tell a legendary story that will help the next generation of Big Red fans remember the past and recognize the present. That will motivate them to do their level best to keep one of most amazing achievements in sports alive – selling every seat in one of the nation's largest stadiums for an entire century, regardless of wind, rain, sleet or snow. Whether the Huskers win or lose is not the overriding question to keep Memorial Stadium full for the next 50 years. The achievement revolves around our famous tagline – There is No Place Like Nebraska. Think about it. Nebraska is the only place in the world that wins even when it loses, and that's because Husker passion goes well beyond the scoreboard. It's part of our mental makeup and reflects who we are and what we stand for. Every true-blooded Big Red fan seems to get all that, year after year, decade after decade, and yes, perhaps even century after century.
The Question: Would You Bet Against Husker Fans?
Odds are not high for Nebraska fans to turn 50 years of sellouts into 100 years of sellouts, but here's the question: Would you bet against Husker fans when they're already halfway down the golden road paved with red brick? Big Red fans everywhere know how sacred the sellout streak is, and they've shown they can band together through the most uncomfortable of circumstances.
I see Nebraska fans shooting for the moon one autumn after another after another. When you think about it, isn't that what separates Nebraska fans from all others? While many might look back at the last 50 years and be totally satisfied, the leaders of America's most loyal fan base are looking ahead to the next 50 years and planning to do everything humanly possible to make sure that the greatest sellout streak in all of sport continues.

-How long it took you to get it installed and what your configuration was to get it working properly
It took around 45 minutes to get it to finally work. About ten minutes was used getting familiar with the instructions and parts.
-The type of gun you're using it on
RT Pro
I'm not sure. My gauge is apparently acting funny.
-Number of breaks/chops and type of paint used
ZERO chops or breaks. I shot only 300 rounds of paint until my tank was empty. But the paint was 2 year old Proball.
-Any problems you encountered
My only problem was getting the carrier back out of the power tube. wesley was on AO chat and told me a pen. I didn't have one handy, so he recommended a small screwdriver - which worked well. Thanks wes!
-Other general comments
I forgot the order in which the carriers got larger. Maybe they should be in the instructions 2.0
My carrier o-rings were also already on the carriers.
My delrin washer wasn't black. Mine was an off-white color. I was kind of confused by the instructions/picture and with what I had in my kit.
Other than that, nice job AGD!
I forgot some info.
I'm using carrier 2.5 with middle spring.
My tank is under 800psi right now, so I think that is why my reactivity isn't very reactive. Anybody else getting funny reactiveness? I'll have to refill to tell for sure.

The Four Winds-Minnewaukan Indians are headed back to the 'Big Show.'
The Four Winds-Minnewaukan Indians are headed back to the 'Big Show.'
Collin Delorme and Trayvon McKay both scored 18 points on Thursday night and helped Four Winds-Minnewaukan pull over perhaps the biggest upset since David knocked out Goliath by grabbing a stunning 66-56 victory in the Region IX Basketball Tournament finals in front of a large crowd in the Devils Lake Sports Center.
Ranked No. 2 in Class B during the regular season, North Star sported one of the state's top players in guard Jake Hagler and had entered the tournament as a heavy favorite to win the Region IV title.
Four Winds-Minnewaukan had different plans.
North Star actually set the tempo for the contest early in the contest. Keyed by a hot start by Hagler, the Bearcats pushed in several quick baskets and raced to a 14-10 advantage.
The Indians, who improved to 20-2 with the victory, proved they could score, too, in the second. Delorme, McKay and senior Austin Longie helped Four Winds-Minnewaukan put together a 16-11 run in the final eight minutes of the first half. The Indians carried a slim 26-25 lead into the half.
One of four seniors on the Four Winds-Minnewaukan roster, Longie pumped in nine points in the contest.
North Star managed to get its offense on track in the third. One of the highest scoring teams in the state, the Bearcats scored 17 points in the frame.
That outburst didn't help the Bearcats much, though. Four Winds-Minnewaukan also tallied 17 in the third and went into the final frame holding a one-point lead, at 43-42.
The Indians, who also picked up a double-digit effort from junior point guard Hadley Smith, broke the game open in the fourth. Four Winds-Minnewaukan managed to shred North Star's press defense for much of the stanza and reeled off a game-clinching 23-14 run.
Smith finished the game with 11 points.
Hagler didn't disappoint anyone with his performance in the contest. The North Star senior almost single-handedly kept the Bearcats in the game by pumping in a game-high 30 points.
Christian Kvilvang also played well for North Star. He finished with nine points.
With the victory, the Indians earned a return to the Class B State Basketball Tournament for the first time since the 2007 season. The Indians will play Region 6 champion Rugby in the first round of the state tournament, which begins Thursday at the Minot State University Dome.
Rugby, 25-1, earned its way into the state tournament with a 54-39 win over Westhope-Newberg in the Region 6 tournament on Thursday evening.
The Carrington Cardinals defeated St. John, 65-63, in the Region IV third-place game Thursday afternoon.
Carrington was led in that win by 21 points from Scott Burnham. Austin Johnson added 11 more.

NEW YORK - The first session of 2013 edition of The Center for Coaching Excellence concluded on Wednesday, June 5 as 32 head college women's basketball coaches completed the invitation-only, two-and-a-half day elite leadership program.
"We are so proud to be hosting year three of The Center for Coaching Excellence at Columbia," said Dr. M. Dianne Murphy, Director, Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education at Columbia University. "This unique leadership program continues to make a tremendous difference for the sport of college women's basketball and the men and women who lead and coach our student-athletes. It is great to continue our partnership with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and the NCAA."
Capitalizing on the resources of Columbia University, one of the world's leading research universities, and the WBCA, The Center for Coaching Excellence provides an unparalleled, exclusive learning experience. Utilizing collaborative and interactive learning sessions along with lectures and panel discussions featuring experts in college athletics, The Center for Coaching Excellence gives college women's basketball coaches valuable networking opportunities with their peers and top industry leaders.
"Nothing revitalizes me more than attending one of our sessions of The Center for Coaching Excellence," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "Spending time with these outstanding WBCA coaches and seeing them learn and expand their skill set is second to none. I didn't think it was possible, but we've made a fantastic program even better."
"I learned so much about myself through The Center for Coaching Excellence," remarked Bobbie Kelsey, Head Women's Basketball Coach, University of Wisconsin. "I thought I knew a lot about communication, and through this program, I realized my areas for improvement and exactly how vital communication is to maximizing your student-athletes' potential. The Center for Coaching Excellence was enlightening. Knowing yourself, and your personal communication style is so important. Every head women's basketball coach, particularly the coaches that are first-time head coaches, should have an opportunity to attend The Center for Coaching Excellence."
"Dianne [Murphy]and Cathie [Siders] have created a learning experience that is unparalleled for head coaches in the game of college women's basketball," said Joe Tartamella, Head Women's Basketball Coach, St. John's University. "The Center for Coaching Excellence is the best professional development program I have been a part of in my ten years of coaching. This program assures that the leaders in our game have the learning tools to grow as mentors, professionals and people. I would recommend that every head coach in our game have the opportunity to experience this invaluable program."
Dr. Cathie T. Siders, a clinical psychologist, organizational consultant and executive coach, facilitated group-learning sessions. Other sessions featured panel discussions from a wide variety of leaders from both the college athletics industry and other sectors of industry.
"For the third consecutive year, I am thrilled to work with the exceptional women and men that steward the game of college women's basketball," said Dr. Siders. "I find our nation's college women's basketball head coaches to be wonderful teachers and mentors, who are committed to the young women on their teams. These coaches appreciate refining their leadership skills to add to their coaching repertoire."
"The Center for Coaching Excellence is very thankful for the tremendous generosity of our friends at the NCAA for enabling us to continue this most important leadership initiative," added Dr. Murphy. "Over the past three days, our basketball coaches have addressed and discussed many of the important topics facing the game of college women's basketball today. We know that the continual success of the game we love is in the very capable hands of our nation's college women's basketball coaches."
Faculty of the June 3-5, 2013 session of The Center for Coaching Excellence included Anucha Browne, Vice President of Women's Basketball Championships, NCAA; Val Ackerman, Strategic Consultant, NCAA and Faculty, Columbia University School of Continuing Education; Rich Ensor, Commissioner, Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference; Jeffrey H. Orleans, Consultant, Alden and Associates; Jody Conradt, Head Women's Basketball Coach Emerita, University of Texas; Stephanie Glance, Head Women's Basketball Coach, Columbia University; Jim Jabir, Head Women's Basketball Coach, University of Dayton; Charli Turner Thorne, Head Women's Basketball Coach, Arizona State University; Jim Delany, Commissioner, Big Ten Conference; Rebecca Halstead, Brigadier General, US Army (Ret.).

Boulder firefighters were able to safely get a father and son out of their house at 3544 Kirkwood Place after it caught fire early this morning, according to officials.
Firefighters responded to the house after a neighbor reported seeing fire outside the house at 1:23 a.m. today, according to Boulder Fire Department spokeswoman Kim Kobel.
The fire then spread to the attic of the house. A father and son who lived in the house were inside sleeping and did not know there was a fire until firefighters were able to evacuate them from the building. Kobel said there were smoke detectors in the house but that they did not go off for some reason.
The father and son were checked out by paramedics on scene and cleared. No other injuries were reported, according to Kobel.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, though Kobel said officials believe the blaze started outside the house before spreading to the house. Kobel did not have an estimate on damages.
Kobel also urged residents to remember to test their smoke detectors and also to change out the batteries.

DURHAM, N.C. – Bryan Adametz was 3-for-5 with four RBI, including two RBI in a four-run first inning, to lead No. 5 NC State past Duke in a 9-1 victory Saturday afternoon at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Adametz was one of four Wolfpack players with two or more hits as NC State totaled 15 on the day. Jake Fincher went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored while Trea Turner added an RBI and a run scored to go along with a 3-for-6 performance at the plate.
NC State (42-12, 19-10 ACC) used five pitchers to hold Duke to one run. Starter Logan Jernigan lasted 4.1 innings, giving up just three hits without yielding a run. Josh Easley (4-2) headed the effort from the Wolfpack bullpen, throwing 2.1 scoreless frames while allowing two hits, walking two batters and striking out a pair to earn the win. Anthony Tzamtzis and Andrew Woeck combined to hold the Blue Devils to one run after the seventh inning.
Duke (26-29, 9-21 ACC) got three hits from leadoff hitter Andy Perez, who finished the season with a team-best .316 batting average. Perez also stole his team-leading 18th base of the season and drove in Duke's lone run with an RBI single in the eighth.
After Duke starter Michael Mattuella (4-4) left the game in the third inning, relievers Drew Van Orden and James Marvel kept the Wolfpack at bay, combining for five scoreless innings.
"Obviously we spotted them a big lead early," said head coach Chris Pollard. "I thought our relief pitching did a great job in the middle innings of holding the game where it was and giving us a chance to get back in the game. We just didn't ever come up with the hit with runners in scoring position until the eighth. We had our chances in the middle innings where a double would've cut the ball game in half and made it a 6-3 game. We just never came up with that hit. I give a lot of credit to Drew Van Orden and James Marvel for giving us five good innings in the middle where we had a chance to battle back in it."
NC State jumped out to an early 4-0 lead in the top of the first and never looked back. Turner singled to start the game, Fincher followed with a double and Grant Clyde and Adametz drove in two runs each to give the Wolfpack the early advantage.
Matuella threw a scoreless second inning, but NC State chased him in the third after a pair of base hits and a walk loaded the bases with no one out. Adametz again came up with the big hit, picking up his third and fourth RBI of the day on a base hit to right center. Van Orden came on and struck out Mangum and Turner to end the frame. Duke's junior right-hander pitched four scoreless innings, permitting just two hits while striking out four.
Following four scoreless frames, NC State extended its lead to 7-0 in the eighth on a Turner RBI single. Ratledge scored on the play after leading off with a double.
Junior Matt Berezo began the eighth with a base hit and scored from second on Perez's base knock to left field.
Mangum's two-run single in the top of the ninth accounted for the final margin.
The loss to NC State marks the end of the Blue Devils' season. Duke will return 25 of 29 letterwinners in 2014, including 11 pitchers.

As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control - all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his cross-hairs.

Ultimately, Transformers: Age of Extinction is not as excruciating as its predecessors. The first Transformers was bad, but not spirit-killing bad. Revenge of the Fallen kicked off that trend, delivering a soulless two-and-a-half hours of nihilistic gear crunching nihilism - a phenomenon that was reproduced, but in sub-lethal doses, in Dark of the Moon. Somehow, even with at least four extra tiers of mindless climax and a post-9/11 motif underway, Age of Extinction manages to be the least offensive of the lot. Maybe it's the absence of Shia LaBeouf, perhaps the colorful robo-voice cast, or even the thinly veiled breakdown of American conservatism that's principally responsible fueling interest. But make no mistake: this combination may well airlift Transformers: Age of Extinction to a surprising altitude of tolerability (especially when considering its egregious 167-minute runtime), but the movie is still pretty darn bad.
The movie bats around themes of progressivism (and, more prominently, anti-progressivism) with no particular margins in mind. Mark Wahlberg plays a lifelong Texan with a distinct proclivity for non-rhotic Rs and a teenage daughter (Nicola Peltz) who he keeps on a tight leash. When he comes face to face with her new boyfriend (Jack Reynor), a 20-year-old immigrant (perish the thought!) from Ireland (is that one of the bad ones?) in one of the film's most mind-boggling scenes representing the upsurge in liberal thinking that lays waste to American values like statutory law. Dopey Wahlberg, a perpetually blubbering Peltz, and the wickedly nondescript Reynor discover and join forces with a Transformer - Optimus Prime, to be precise - who is on a quest to do something. Something to do with humans or Decepticons or Dinobots. Whoever it is (they're all in there), he's trying to avoid them or save them or fight them. His friends come, too. Bumblebee, John Goodbot, and a samurai Transformer so undeniably racist that it stunned me that the voice actor behind the portrayal was Ken Watanabe, and not somebody whose only experience with Japanese culture came from World War II-era Looney Tunes shorts.
The incomprehensibility rages on as the story ropes in inventor Stanley Tucci - a Steve Jobs type - and Senator Kelsey Grammer - a Kelsey Grammer type. As the arguments for and against innovation are sprinkled through a minefield of nonsense, we struggle to understand the sincerity behind director Michael Bay's ultimate message. We also struggle to understand where or when or how any of what happening is happening in relationship to any other place, time, or characters in the movie. The geography of the action sequences (it might be wrong to pluralize this phrase - the second half of the film is more accurately one long action sequence separated by moments of Tucci nebbishing it up) and coherency of the set pieces are sub-afterthought. We see a lot of stuff, but we never watch anything really happen.
With a climax that lasts forever and an abject lack of denoument, the second half of the movie is notably more harrowing than the first. But thanks to the charms of its cast (Tucci has fun and Goodman is endearing... forget Wahlberg, Peltz, and Reynor, though) and a few comically bizarre moments (like a rainstorm of Bud Light bottles or Tucci screaming about math... well, not about math, but... eh, you'll see), Age of Extinction is ultimately... survivable. Not the highest praise you can give a movie, but possibly the highest praise you can give a Transformers movie.

Now. Now I tell you what the hell all the writing has been about.
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about a certain website that shan't be named again because said website acted, possibly, like an ass-hat.
Somebody really liked that post. And other posts. And tweets.
And so it came to pass on one sunny afternoon as I was sitting at home during one of Erin's naps, that City Mama contacted me to ask if I'd like to join a ton of other bloggers in writing about our cities and navigating these burghs with pre-schoolers.
For money. For non-Monopoly money.
I immediately said "woohoo!" and then I read the list of other bloggers who would be writing and I said "woohoo!!" and then she told me how much I would be making and I said "oh. well, money isn't everything." And then she told me that I was going to be the City Editor for Being Savvy Silicon Valley, just one of the many awesome Savvy Source pre-schooler blogs, and I said "resume-woohoo!!!" I should be up and live at some point today, but I couldn't hold in the announcement any longer, so just go ahead and save the link for later perusal if it's not active yet.
I would get to write about local dadventures, and dadventures-to-be. I would get to help parents of pre-schoolers in the Silicon Valley make the area their own.
I was thrilled. And, just like the Oscars, or the invite to the cool high school party, it was an honour just to be nominated. Because, as I've said before, I'm not a writer.
I'm a City Editor. :}
So, please welcome me to the weird world of professional blogging over at Being Savvy Silicon Valley. And while you're at it, go ahead and click over to some of the other city blogs. Learn about your own town from the likes of
Kim Mordecai (Sacramento)
Heather Gibbs Flett (Berkeley/East Bay)
Whitney Moss (Berkeley/East Bay)
Kim Prince (San Fernando Valley)
Amelia Sprout (Minneapolis/St. Paul)
Also, if you'd like to show your support for Backpacking Dad and his pre-schooling Silicon Valley blog I have blog buttons that you can have. If you would like a button for any of the other blogs I can arrange that too (although you can always, of course, ask them :} ).
So go check out my Savvy-blogger friends and Have a Savvy Day.
Say "Savvy" again.

Apparently, it's unwise to mess with Tim McGraw's jeans.
The singer came under fire Friday morning when video from a concert last weekend revealed he slapped a female fan.
The video, released by TMZ, shows McGraw streaming into the crowd via a catwalk during his Atlanta concert July 13 while he performed "Truck Yeah." McGraw's progress is then abruptly stopped by the female fan, prompting him to reach into the crowd to swat her. Security personnel is then seen swarming her.
The singer's rep points to the video as evidence that McGraw was just protecting himself. "At the end of the night during the encore, Tim was singing out in the audience and someone firmly grabbed onto his leg and wouldn't let go as he was moving through the crowd," the rep told Billboard. "He instinctively swatted to try and keep them from ripping his jeans (which they succeeded at doing), and so he could get to more fans who were trying to slap hands with him before the end of the show. He didn't know who had grabbed him and was trying to keep his pants from being torn."
Actually, trying to keep his pants from being torn more. The video also shows the singer had holes in the knees of his jeans before the fan latched onto him.
A close-up video shows McGraw yelling "what the what" at the woman before security escorted her away.
