Charlotte 49ers Athletics:
The Charlotte 49ers are UNC Charlotte's NCAA Division I athletic program. Members of Conference USA, the Charlotte 49ers boast 17 NCAA sports. Male sports are baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Female sports are basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball.
Charlotte began play in NCAA Division I in 1970-71. Just seven years later, in 1976-77, it toppled three nationally-ranked foes on its way to the 1977 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, becoming the youngest program to reach the Final Four.
Charlotte joined the Sun Belt Conference in 1976-77, moved to the Metro Conference in 1991-92 and joined Conference USA in 1995-96. The 49ers participated in the Atlantic 10 Conference from 2005-06 to 2012-13 and then rejoined Conference USA in 2013-14.
Charlotte added its first NCAA football program in 2013. Football played as a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Independent in 2013 and 2014 before beginning competition in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in C-USA in 2015-16.
Charlotte boasts final four finishes in four of the five decades in which they have competed at the NCAA Div. I level: 1970s (Men's Basketball, 1977), 1990s (Men's Soccer, 1996), 2000s (Golf, 2007), 2010s (Men's Soccer (2011). The 49ers men's soccer team was the NCAA Div. I National Runner-Up in 2011.
Why the 49ers: Charlotte's athletic teams are nicknamed the 49ers in honor of the importance of the year 1949. The city of Charlotte first opened a temporary school of higher education in 1946 (Charlotte Center of the University of North Carolina) to handle the influx of servicemen returning from the war. In 1949, founder Bonnie Cone successfully fought to make the school a permanent institution. Thanks to that can-do attitude and pioneering spirit, and in honor of the importance of the year 1949, the school's athletic teams were nicknamed the 49ers -- a nickname that was adopted in 1962.
Gold Ties: While the 49ers nickname was brought about by the importance of the year 1949 and had nothing to do with the gold rush of 1849, it should be noted that the first gold discovered in America was found in the Charlotte area, less than 20 minutes from campus in 1799. Charlotte's mascot, Norm the Niner, is a gold miner, by trade.

Designer and founder Dierdre Roffoni created XIRENA based on her years of travel to the hippy town of Formentera, Spain. Inspired by the carefree lifestyle of the island, a collection of chic, modern, and sexy separates was born. In designing XIRENA, Dierdre draws from lingerie and swimwear to create a line that can be worn at home, on the go, or lounging on the beach. The simple shapes combine bold prints, vivid color, and metallic accents; these elements continue to act as the building blocks for the line season after season.

Huskers Gear Up for New Arena
Lincoln - Members of the 2013-14 Nebraska women's basketball team decked themselves out in hard hats, protective lenses and construction vests for their first tour of the new Pinnacle Bank Arena on July 25.
The Huskers, who will move into the new downtown arena in the historic Haymarket district for the 2013-14 campaign, toured their spacious locker room, team room, athletic medicine room and equipment room, after walking into the main arena for the first time.
Throughout the tour, members of the 2013-14 team posed for group photos. The 2013-14 Huskers on the tour were led by returning starters Jordan Hooper, Emily Cady, Hailie Sample and Rachel Theriot. Hooper, a two-time All-American and first-team All-Big Ten forward, recently returned from Russia after leading the USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team to a gold medal.
Juniors Brandi Jeffery and Katie Simon, sophomore Sadie Murren and all three of NU's incoming freshmen - Allie Havers, Hannah Tvrdy and Esther Ramacieri - all were wowed by the new arena.
The 2013-14 Huskers were joined on the tour by 2013 seniors Lindsey Moore and Meghin Williams. Moore, a first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Lynx, returned to Lincoln late Thursday after helping the Lynx to victory in their final game before the WNBA All-Star break. Williams is working as a student in the basketball office while completing her bachelor's degree.
Husker Sports Network radio play-by-play personality Matt Coatney also toured the facility with the team.
Nebraska opens regular-season play at the new arena on Friday, Nov. 8 against perennial Pac-12 power UCLA. Tip-off between the Huskers and Bruins is set for noon.

Dear Editor,
On receiving news of the three Veterans being denied by the Tallahassee politicians, I am not really surprised.
I have been actively crusading (for) recognition for Lance Cpl. Buessing - for what seems like years. I was VFW Commander when Lance Cpl. Buessing's funeral was in Cedar Key.
The question I leave with you, (is) from my heart. What if young Brian would have dragged his feet the way Tallahassee is dragging theirs?

More than 100 people signed up for an effort last weekend to help clean up Liberty State Park in Jersey City after the park sustained unprecedented damage to many of its buildings and spaces during Hurricane Sandy.
While some facilities in the park were expected to reopen last week, including a restaurant, marina, and the Grove of Remembrance, others will likely be closed for several months while the full scale of the damage is assessed and then repaired.
With approximately four million visitors each year, Liberty State Park is New Jersey's most popular state park, according to Lawrence Hajna, a spokesman with the Department of Environmental Protection.
The park includes views of the Statue of Liberty, beautiful unobstructed views of the New York sky line, and is home to Liberty Science Center, a marina, a nature center, and Empty Sky, New Jersey's 9/11 memorial.
According to Sam Pesin, president of the Friends of Liberty State Park, Sandy's "tidal surge brought five feet of water into the now ruined historic [Central Railroad of New Jersey] Terminal's first floor. The Nature Interpretive Center had flood damage. Mold is setting in. The Liberty Walk promenade was damaged. A third of the pavers were blown away. The Jersey Avenue footbridge connecting Liberty State Park to…downtown was pushed 30 feet from its location and is [currently] unusable."
'Some parts of the park may be closed for six to nine months.' – Robert W. Rodriguez
The hurricane, and the wind and water that came with it, have significantly hurt the park's infrastructure, Rodriguez said,
"We suffered significant damage to our structures – the terminal building, bathrooms, the Nature Center," Rodriguez said. "It's considerable damage that we're talking about. There's complete infrastructure that has to be [rebuilt]."
Assessing the damage alone, he said, will continue well into January.
"Some parts of the park may be closed for six to nine months," Rodriguez added.
The Liberty Science Center did not sustain major damage and has already reopened to the public.
An 'anticipated' need for helping hands
Park officials expect that cleanup days will be planned in the future. Anyone interested in rebuilding or assisting the park should check the Liberty State Park website often at www.LibertyStatePark.org.
Friends of Liberty State Park can be reached through its own website at www.folsp.org. The organization will also post updates about the park's progress and volunteer opportunities in the coming weeks and months.

A judge ruled Thursday that prosecutors have enough evidence to proceed to trial in the case of a Boulder police officer accused of planning to murder his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend.
Five-year Boulder police veteran Christian McCracken, 32, of Frederick, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and felony stalking after police say he stalked his ex-girlfriend, a Boulder police dispatcher, and planned to kill her new boyfriend.
At a preliminary hearing Thursday, Detective Sgt. Tom Trujillo testified how McCracken told his roommate, a fellow Boulder officer, about going by his former girlfriend's Broomfield apartment April 26 and seeing her being intimate with a male Boulder dispatcher.
McCracken told his roommate he wanted to kill the new boyfriend but said, "I would never do that," Trujillo said.
The roommate later found McCracken had gone to the Boulder police station and picked up his service pistol, Trujillo said. The roommate asked McCracken to give him the gun, which he did, along with ammunition, Trujillo said.
McCracken told his roommate that his plan was to come up behind the man and shoot him in the head while his ex-girlfriend watched, then go into the mountains and kill himself, Trujillo testified.
The roommate drove McCracken to Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette, where he voluntarily checked in for a mental health evaluation.
Defense attorney Chris Griffin noted that McCracken had an assault rifle he kept at a separate residence that he could have much more easily obtained if he wanted to kill the new boyfriend. He contended that simply picking up a gun from a police station did not mean McCracken had "taken a significant step" toward murdering the man.
Boulder County Judge Norma Sierra ruled there's enough evidence for the case to proceed to an arraignment hearing, scheduled for Aug. 3.
McCracken had been on leave from the police department since August, when he suffered a serious head injury while attempting to arrest a suspect outside of The Sink on University Hill.
He remains in jail on a $510,000 bond.

On New Year's Day during the past seven years, the nurses at Avista Adventist Hospital's New Life Center here wondered if their hospital would welcome Boulder County's Baby New Year.
"We had some close calls; we thought we were the first one," said Cheryl Nelson, a charge nurse at Avista Adventist.
It didn't end up that way. During that time, the county's first baby was born at other area hospitals and typically at Longmont United.
This year, it was different.
At 57 minutes after midnight, Tuesday, Jan. 1, Katya Solis-Hernandez, the 7-pound, 12-ounce daughter of Alejandro Solis and Gloria Ortiz-Hernandez, was born at Avista Adventist.
Six minutes later, Mason Benbrook was born at Longmont United. The first babies of 2013 for Exempla Good Samaritan and Boulder Community Hospital were born at 2:42 a.m. and 6:48 a.m., respectively.
"It's pretty cool," Avista's Nelson said.

Orangutan, Borneo (USNM 145305)
Orangutans are great apes and one of our closest living relatives. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many orangutans in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 145305 (http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7252518), is a adult male orangutan from the island of Borneo, Indonesia (Pongo pygmaeus). It was collected by W.L. Abbott in 1907 near the Sempang River, Sungei Matan. The Male weighed 175 lbs with a head to body length of 968 mm. While standing, the orangutan measured 1400 mm tall.
This is a CT scan of the cranium of USNM 145305. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living relatives, the apes, available in 3D for education and research.

When it comes to weaning, humans are weird.
Our closest relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas, breast-feed their offspring for several years. Some baby orangutans nurse until they are 7 years old.
But modern humans wean much earlier. In preindustrial societies, babies stop nursing after about two years. Which raises the question: How did we get that way? When did we make the evolutionary shift from apelike parenting to the short breast-feeding period of humans?
Scientists combed the fossil record for clues, but they came up empty until one researcher decided to play tooth fairy.
Manish Arora studies tooth chemistry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. He knows that teeth hold many secrets.
"You can almost visualize tooth development in terms of growth rings that you would see in a tree," says Arora.
Like tree rings, the layers of enamel and dentin that accumulate day after day mark the passage of time. And the compounds in the enamel can tell scientists a lot about the tooth owner's early growth and development.
But Arora was looking for something very specific: a marker in the tooth that would reveal the timing of weaning. So, he meticulously recorded the breast-feeding habits of women and their babies.
Years later, when the children started to place their lost baby teeth under their pillows, Arora was there to collect them. Luckily, this tooth fairy stand-in had a research grant.
"They do get a small reimbursement for every tooth they donate," Arora says.
When Arora and his colleagues started to analyze the chemical makeup of the teeth, they noticed an interesting pattern in the distribution of the element barium.
"During the period of breast-feeding, the barium levels in teeth were higher," Arora says. "At weaning, the levels of barium in teeth started to drop."
Barium is calcium's cousin (it's in the same column on the periodic table), and it goes where calcium goes. Over the years, it accumulates in our bones. When a mother begins nursing, some of that barium migrates into her breast milk and eventually into her baby's teeth. Arora had found his marker.
He could take a tooth and tell when that tooth's owner stopped nursing. His colleague Tanya Smith, who studies human evolution at Harvard, knew just the tooth to test first.
"It's a first molar tooth from a Neanderthal from a site in Belgium called Scladina," Smith says.
The tooth is 100,000 years old and perfectly preserved. Analyzing the tooth's barium distribution, the researchers determined that this Neanderthal started weaning after about 7 months, and then transitioned to a mixed diet. At 15 months, the barium signal dropped abruptly, as if mother and child had been separated.
The results were published in Nature.
Smith says applying the same technique to other fossilized teeth will help paint a clearer picture of the evolution of human weaning. The shorter nursing times would have given mothers the freedom to reproduce more frequently and gather food for the group. Now we're a step closer to finding out when and how this shift happened.
Arora adds that there's another important application: studying human nursing today. Most breast-feeding studies are questionnaire-based and can be foiled by the faulty memories of their subjects. But with Arora's method, scientists have access to a dental record that always tells the truth.
Over the past few years, research has taught us a lot about Neanderthals, about their red hair and their blood type and their genome. And now we're learning about their breastfeeding practices. As NPR's Adam Cole reports, figuring out Neanderthals' nursing habits will help us understand our own evolution.
ADAM COLE, BYLINE: Manish Arora just had triplets, and he loves watching his newborns learn and grow. But sometimes his fatherly pride is expressed a bit scientifically.
MANISH ARORA: I've already started recording a lot of data on my babies.
COLE: Specifically, he's interested in the development of their teeth. That's because Arora studies tooth chemistry at the Icahn School of Medicine in New York City.
ARORA: Teeth develop in a very interesting and very systematic manner.
COLE: Arora's triplets began to form teeth in the womb, creating a new layer of enamel and dentine each day.
ARORA: You can almost visualize tooth development in terms of growth rings that you would see in a tree.
COLE: Like tree rings, those tooth layers mark the passage of time. A very prominent line marks the stressful moment of birth, and the composition of those layers holds clues about the baby's nutrition and development. But there's one important piece missing.
ARORA: There wasn't a useful, objective biomarker for breastfeeding.
COLE: Scientists, whether they study human development or study human evolution, wanted some sort of signal written in the enamel that said: Here's when the baby stopped nursing. So Arora set out to find one. He meticulously recorded the breast-feeding habits of women and their babies. Years later, when the children started losing their baby teeth, Arora was there to collect them.
He and his colleagues took thin slices of the teeth and blasted them with lasers to vaporize chemicals for analysis. They started to notice a pattern in the distribution of the element barium.
ARORA: During the period of breast-feeding, the barium levels in teeth were higher as we had predicted. And at weaning, the levels of barium in teeth started to drop.
COLE: Barium is an elemental cousin of calcium, and over a lifetime, it accumulates in our bones. That barium ends up in breast milk, and eventually in baby's teeth. Arora had his marker. He could look at a tooth and identify the time of weaning. His colleague, Tanya Smith, who studies human evolution at Harvard, knew just the tooth to analyze first.
TANYA SMITH: This tooth, it's a first molar tooth from a Neanderthal from a site in Belgium called Scladina.
COLE: The tooth is 100,000 years old, but it's perfectly preserved. By analyzing barium levels in the molar, researchers found that its owner started weaning at about 7 months, and then transitioned to a mixed diet. The results were published in the journal Nature. The study is a first step towards figuring out an odd difference between humans and their closest relatives, the great apes.
Chimpanzees and gorillas stop nursing after four years. Humans living in preindustrial societies stop much sooner. So the big evolutionary question is this...
SMITH: When, in our past, do we see this shift?
COLE: Smith hopes that analyzing more fossilized teeth will provide the answer. The evolution of early weaning was important. Shorting nursing times would have given mothers the freedom to reproduce more frequently and gather food for the group. As for Arora, he can't wait to study the teeth of his own kids. His wife has signed off on the idea.
ARORA: She's only concerned that the teeth be allowed to shed naturally, and I don't, you know, nudge the process along.

You must be on the of the lucky ones citizen (or a big time donor).
I'm with taxpayer. Written on more than one occasion and nothing back. At least others send out form letters with the standard "thank you for your concern... or I voted this way because..."
Nothing at all from Burr.
#7 Oct 12, 2010
I think ms marshall will do best to make sure the money continues to flow downhill into the hands of the needy, like me, so i can continue to live without bothering to find a job. our debt isn't that bad yet so lets spend, spend, spend. we don't want someone that will stop us from bleeding our children dry, so vote for the democrats. i know we all want to vote for burr, since he gets overseas funding, but i think the democrats do an admirable job of getting their fair share from the chinese. and why would i vote for someone that would be against using tax money to subsidize abortions? why would i vote for someone concerned with the national debt? why would i vote for someone that's against socialized medicine? why would i vote for someone who believes in the prudent use of our natural resources? I'm not, I'm voting straight democrat.( considering the party, maybe i should say i'm voting a gay democrat ticket)now if i can just get my lazy, fat butt up off the couch to actually go vote ...

I got an immediate response from him, but it was a typical politician response that left me more frustrated than before I sent him the letter.
#10 Oct 12, 2010
I have written Mr. Burr on five separate occasions, and the one reply I received was in response to my questioning his lack of a vote on a very important issue. His reply was a standard form letter with a photocopied signature.
#11 Oct 12, 2010
I don't know. I don't know anything about any of the candidates. Where can you find what each one stands for?
I sure see lots of mudslinging ads from Jeff Miller. Instead of constantly putting down Heath Shuler, why don't you just tell people who you actually Do stand for?
I don't know you from Adam, Miller, so you ought to educate people what you are all about, not to be constantly putting down your opponent.
#12 Oct 12, 2010
By casting my ballot for Burr I am going to vote against Barack Obama who I consider the WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. He has pulled the wool over our eyes with his pretty boy smile and good speaking voice. He has driven this country so deep in debt we may see the American economy come crashing down. In just 2 years the Obama administration with help from the Democratic leadership in congress (Reid and Pelosi) has spent more and created more debt for the American taxpayers to pay back than THE LAST 4 ADMINISTRATIONS COMBINED!!!
I just don't like Elaine Marshall. She is in Obama's corner and would be a Harry Reid-Nancy Peloski ass kisser if elected. And let's face it. We already have one ugly woman senator from NC. Elaine has that dried up prune eating, regular shit every morning bitch look. WHY IN HELL DO WE NEED TWO BUTT UGLY WOMEN FROM NC IN THE US SENATE????
Like most Americans I am fed up with Washington and especially the idiot in the White House who has put this country so deep in debt the whole economy might come crashing down.

Why would any sane person vote for a Repuglican after what they have done to our nation and our military? For 30+ years they have worked to stagnate or lower wages, remove all benefits from workers jobs, move all liveable wage jobs overseas, reduce the Federal Income, thereby growing $12 Trillion in Deficits with $500+Billion in interesat each year, start and bungle two useless wars, waste $3 Trillion in Iraq, divide the nation using Fox Noise and Limbaugh, spreading hate, resentment, prejudice, intolerance and racism. WHY would anyone want to be a Repuglican, they must hate themselves and translate that to hating the American Dream and America. Plus, they are all hypocrites, ie, Newt, Rudy, McCain, Palin, Ensign, Boehner, Beck, Limbaugh, et al. Repuglicans need to be told, "NO" at the ballot box, vote Democratic, at least they try to help average, working Americans. Remember who brought US NAFTA, the American Free Trade Agreement, repeal of Glass-Steagall which caused the financial crisis, along with deregulation of the financial institutions started by Reagan in 1981 and first causing the S&L Fraud. Repuglicans are more dangerous than Al Qaeda, the Taliban (which Reagan and Daddy Bush created, funded, trained and left in charge of Afghanistan), Russia and China combined, they are the "Domestic Enemy" of America and it's future.
#14 Oct 12, 2010
you never worried about the debt when Bush was starting 2 wars under lies,
most of the debt was digging this nation out of the hole Bush put us in
#15 Oct 12, 2010
No more Dems! They are taking us down the path of ruin!
#16 Oct 12, 2010
And just what do you think you'd get from Ms. Marshall? A personal visit? LOL.

It won't be just the Beyonce show after all.
Nicki Minaj, who on Aug. 20 released her new video, for "Anaconda," will join Ariana Grande and Jessie J to open the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, MTV announced Wednesday.
The trio will perform their new song "Bang Bang" for the first time live. Later in the show, Minaj and Grande also will have solo performances.
MTV earlier this month confirmed that Beyonce will perform at the show, and speculation immediately started about her possibly being the opening act. Beyonce also leads the talent with eight nominations and will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
Other performers include 5 Seconds of Summer, Usher, Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift.
MTV announced the celebrity presenters, too. Topping the list is Kim Kardashian, wife of rapper Kanye West. Joining her will be Gwen Stefani, Demi Lovato and three actresses from the Netflix series "Orange is the New Black."

Red Sox - 000 100 000 - 1 5 1Lester retired the first 16 batters and finished his night with a career-high 13 strikeouts, but he was ineffective in the eighth inning and Terry Francona left him out on the mound far beyond any common sense. Lester (7.2-4-5-1-13) threw a season-high 124 pitches.
Mariners - 000 002 03x - 5 4 1
For me, this was the most infuriating loss of the season. Losses affect us in different ways. Some can be shrugged off -- everything goes according to plan, but the players are human so there will be poorly located pitches, strikeouts, bad hops, whatever. Others can be stunning (literally) or demoralizing, while others provoke anger.
I haven't been this pissed off while a game unraveled in a very long time. With games like the ninth-inning meltdown last Thursday, there is a helpless -- "why is this happening and will it stop anytime soon?" -- feeling, where everything is in its place, but things do not go well.
Tonight was a game where Francona's decisions seemed to run counter to what he almost always does. When we see the exact opposite of what we have come to know (and respect) about this team occurring, that's when the blood boils.
Lester trailed 2-1, but had allowed only one hit through the first seven innings. Milton Bradley tripled to right-center on pitch #104, but Lester came back to strike out Josh Bard for the 13th K. After a visit from John Farrell, the infield was playing for a possible squeeze -- and that's exactly what happened. Jack Wilson put down a perfect bunt on a 1-1 pitch that was at forehead height -- he even had to hop a little to make good contact. The bunt was too far out in front of the plate for Kevin Cash to field and Lester's only play was to first. Seattle led 3-1. Here is where I would have pulled Lester.
Michael Saunders ran the count full, then lined a single off what looked like Lester's left foot. Tito and the trainer came out, but Lester waved them away. He seemed fine. The injury visit did not count as a trip to the mound, but it was the ideal time to make a move. Manny Delcarmen had been warming up. But Francona left Lester in.
He walked Ichiro on five pitches -- now, Tito? -- then gave up a first-pitch double down the right field line to Chone Figgins. It was now 4-1 and Seattle had runners on second and third.
Finally, in came Delcarmen. He walked Franklin Gutierrez to load the bases, then hit Jose Lopez to force in a run. (He had allowed his last six batters to reach base.) After ball 1 to Justin Smoak, Farrell came back out to chat. MDC's next pitch was crushed to deep right and J.D. Drew caught it maybe 5-7 feet from the wall. A grand slam would not have surprised me in the least.
Why did Francona leave Lester in so long? And if he was so wary of using Delcarmen, then why get him up at all? [Maybe he offered some reasons in his post-game comments.]
Adding to the frustration was the fact that the Yankees had lost to the Royals 7-4. The recent inability to gain any ground in the East has been annoying:
Sun 0718: Yankees win 9-5, Red Sox lose 4-2So the Sox lost ground on two days, missed two opportunities to gain ground, and treaded water on two days. The only time they cut into the lead was on an off day for New York.
Mon 0719: Yankees off, Red Sox win 2-1
Tue 0720: Yankees lose 10-2, Sox lose 5-4 (10)
Wed 0721: Yankees win 10-6, Red Sox lose 6-4
Thu 0722: Yankees win 10-4, Red Sox win 8-6 (13)
Fri 0723: Yankees win 7-1, Red Sox win 2-1
Sat 0724: Yankees lose 7-4, Red Sox lose 5-1
And so Boston remains 7 GB, while the Rays beat Cleveland 6-3 are are 3 GB.
Pauley has pitched only 15 innings for the Mariners this year, three relief appearances followed by two starts. He appears to play in the majors in even-numbered years only, as his other time in with bigs was with Boston in 2006 and 2008.Scutaro, SS

And two perfect innings from Ramiro Mendoza. ...It took a little while to get going -- this game was not the instant spark it is remembered as (Boston went 7-6 over their next 13 games) -- but from August 10 to September 4, the Red Sox were 20-4!
This game could really turn this team around. They played hard Friday, but fell short. Today, they stormed right back after both the fight and the Yankees' 6-run 6th and puts several runs on the board. ... I'm ready for a 20-4 run. I believe! How about you?

LOWELL -- Throughout Julie Simmons' life, her dad, Jim Fairweather, has always been bursting with energy, demonstrating his zest for life while coaching her softball team or fixing things around the house.
But Simmons says in recent months, she has seen her 59-year-old father's vibrancy slowly slip away because of a genetic kidney disease that has progressed to the worst stage and makes it hard for Fairweather to sleep.
Fairweather is seeking a kidney transplant so he can live for many years to come.
The Sun recently caught up with Fairweather, a civil engineer living in the Belvidere section of Lowell, to learn more about the disease that has left him in need of a new kidney, as well as to hear about his family's efforts to find a donor for him.
Q: When did you learn you had kidney problems?
A: I found out I had polycystic kidney disease when I had some kidney stones in the 1980s. It is a genetic disease, but it usually reveals itself in your 40s and 50s. Typically, there is a 50-50 chance it won't affect your lifestyle and you won't need a transplant. Unfortunately, I progressed beyond just having to manage my blood pressure.
Q: What does polycystic kidney disease do to a kidney?
A: Your kidney grows cysts, and the kidney turns into a big bag of pus-filled cysts. Then the kidney cells are getting pushed out of the way, and it starts to become one gigantic cyst. They say the kidney is roughly the size of a clenched fist. Mine is the size of two clenched fists because of the multiple cysts.
Q: How has the disease affected your day-to-day life?
A: Until a few years ago, I was told if I just managed my blood pressure, I would be fine. But two years ago, fatigue set in. I'm just chronically tired. You go to bed and wake up tired. You just don't feel right. More recently, I'm starting to get nausea and a few other things, like shaky hands. I also used to run every day, but I can't anymore.
Q: How quickly do you need a new kidney?
A: I'm at the point where I should be chemically hooked up to a machine in the next few months, but I'm trying to stave off dialysis as long as possible. They say a transplant is better pre-dialysis. Once you go on dialysis, you pass away after a few years or you get a kidney transplant. I'm on a national deceased-donor list, but the wait could be two to three years.
Q: What is your outlook about your future at this point?
A: I'm thinking positive. I'm trying to live as much as I normally can. I'm keeping on keeping on.
Q: Could any of your family members donate a kidney?
A: For different reasons, my three siblings all have conditions that rule them out. My son cannot donate a kidney because he also has polycystic kidney disease. My hope is my daughter is compatible with my son if he needs a new kidney at some point.
Q: What has your family done to help you find a donor?
A: My daughter set up a Facebook page to try to help me find one. I really appreciate what she has done, and I am so grateful for the people who have responded to her. It makes me feel good to know there are so many great people out there.
Q: How many people have come forward from the Facebook page?
A: There have been at least 20 people who have offered to be donors, but they either have had pre-existing conditions prohibiting them from donating or work in occupations preventing them from donating. I want to thank anyone who has volunteered, and I have been very grateful for the people who would consider doing such a thing. If all I needed was a big heart and the right blood type, I'd be all set.
Q: What blood type do you need a donor to have?
A: I'm Type-A blood, so I can get As and Os, either plus or minus. My insurance company will cover all the testing necessary and the transplant procedure if it gets to that point.
Q: What should people do if they're interested in seeing if they could donate a kidney?
A: They can contact my daughter, Julie, through the Facebook page she set up. She will correspond with potential donors to see if there is anything that might preclude them from donating, and if not, go from there.
The Facebook page Julie Simmons set up is called "A Kidney for My Dad, Please." You can search for it in Facebook or go to www.facebook.com/ AKidneyForMyDad.

Can I get the same info for a micromag? 1st gen, if that makes a difference.
Such a sham(e).
What is the size of the ball bearing in the saftey and the switch in the E-Mag?
Also, a little off topic, what color(s) anno did the flatline 4500 reg come in?
i got a RT ULE Custom 2 days ago, i put air on it and all the happened was air came out the barrel. if you can tell me anything that i can do besides sending it back i would greatly be thankful. it also has a ULT installed.
NOT!!! Acording to techs at Proteam. The on/off pin is shorter.

So black, if I have Emag #538, does it have the .725 pin? It's one of the first emag valves. Then to get an x valve to work in my mag I just need a .712 pin?
I recently had a talk with Athomas about the sear rod lengths. I asked if it was safe to adjust the rod so it'd be closer to the back position in emode on my emag. He said it'd be fine.
I was kind of surprised to hear that so I pm'd him back asking if he thought it was safe to do it on Emags but not any other mags. He said no, you can adjust the rod in any gun, just it must NOT hit the trigger. And that people say not to change it because morons would do just that(make it hit the trigger) and screw up their gun.
I currently have mine adjusted a lot farther than what the stock length is. It still works perfect, hybrid is much easier to use, and is a lot faster now as well.
What are your thoughts on this?

can i get the specs in metric for the classic mag please? my caliper does not measure in .005inches, thats just silly, lol
huh? Ok, so my RT pro ule, which came with an X-valve should have a .750" pin. What would happen if I replaced it with on from a standard RT pro, .765" The reason I asked is I recently got a replacement on/off from a local store, and although the gun works, it takes a long time to reseat the trigger, resulting in chuffing if I dryfire too fast.Originally Posted by BlackVCG
If you got your Pro from the factory, check your velocity and tune your Level 10.
i picked up a on/off pin and its .712.ive got a brass top on/off,would it work if i just added an extra oring?just on top of the other one?
hmmmm, why not just try it. i cant see it ruining anything.
~not liable for any damages incurred as a result of my advice~
i think i found the problem with my emag.my trigger rod was way too short and i was going to lengthen it and it adjusted way too easily.how do i tighten the threads?
Gun and specs
minimag/ x-valve/ intella frame/ 12v warp feed/ dynaflow adjustable hp reg
-on/off assembly has upper quadring
-on/off pin .735 due to the quadring and desired rapid response trigger feel. .740 would not cycle and .725 was leaky and way to fast.
-Level X bolt(not really a big fan but i keep trying. I should run a roto, no warp and a level 7)
-input pressure 950psi at 13bps(estimation)
-input pressure 1100psi at 18+bps
-if problems occur go back to all stock specs( this includes the level 7 bolt and use the specs from AGD). if problem is solved then start rebuilding the marker piece at a time till the problem retuns. if problem prissiest then the gun has ben modified in some way to change the tolerances like a paint job instead of anno, or something.
hope this helps someone
how do you kno which on off pin to use? is the the valve or the rail or body?

Somebody asked if I could do another technical report, like "that neat one on the numbering system on the copyright page". I feel some people need to get out more, especially in winter.
On the other hand, I just heard from someone else who was steaming because they bought a collectible book bound in full Morocco, through eBay, and got a book bound in cloth. "Is there a difference?" asked the seller.
There's a difference.
So your basic book of ordinary Book fair donation is either, to use the terms most preferred by people making out receipts, a hardcover or a paperback (never a papercover or a hardback: I don't know why. Maybe it's a regional thing.)
Paperbacks have bindings of stiff paper. They are also sometimes referred to as being "in wraps". A book "in self-wraps" is a sort of deluxe paperback which has dustflaps like a hardcover in a dustjacket. Some paperbacks, by the way, have been issued in dustjackets as experiments over the years. A few of these are wildly sought after by collectors. Most of 'em aren't. To tell which is which, just donate 'em to us and then check the Collectors' Table come July.
It's the hardcovers that shows wild variations. You have basic hardcovers that we all know and love, with or without their jackets. These are sometimes referred to as "cloth" or "boards", because modern hardcovers are made by applying cloth over heavy cardboard, while the original grandfathers of the hardcover were actually bound in wooden boards. You are allowed to donate old books bound in wood any time.
SOME books are advertised as being in "contemporary boards". These are usually really old books, and this just means they have their original covers. Some owners rebound their books so everything would match or because the original boards were starting to fall off. Sometimes the replacement boards are NICER than the originals, and some collectors like those better, while others sniff and demand only the originals. This is the sort of thing we leave up to the customer.
And SOME books are in "calf" or "contemporary calf" or "Morocco" or "half leather" or "three-quarter leather" or…and, friend, if you are advertising a book, you better get it right.
"Leatherbound" means the whole cover of the book is leather, except maybe for a paper label on the spine to show the title. "Calf" means the same thing. "Contemporary calf" means it was bound that way when the book came out. "Morocco" means pretty much the same thing, though it generally indicates a highly polished leather with a hard shiny surface, frequently in some non-cow color: blue or red or green or such. "Morocco" also generally means "Expensive".
Not every book bound in leather or even Morocco is bound in GOOD leather, of course. Cheap leather will be quick to dry out and fall apart, as will good leather that has just been sliced really, really thin or simply badly cared for. It will often turn into what is known as "ooze calf", a special type of leather known for leaving its decaying bits in brown or red streaks on the palms, sleeves, cuffs, what-have-you of the reader.
"Quarter leather" takes us into math. It indicates a book where the backstrap (or spine, to those less precise) of the book is leather, and that the leather extends one-eighth of the way across the front and back boards (covers). The corners of the covers are also clad in leather, and extend an eighth of the way in from their end, adding up to leather extending along one-quarter of the top edge of the cover. Get it?
Good, because this makes the others easier to understand. "Half leather" means the leather extends one-quarter of the way in from each end, adding up to half the top edge being in leather. "Three-quarter leather" means the leather extends three-eighths of the way in from reach end. And "full leather" gets us back to "calf".
I find I am too exhausted to go on to books bound in plastic, books bound in stainless steel, or books bound in palm leaves, all of which I have handled over the years. It's almost enough to make me wish for that digitized library of the future, where everything will be on one plastic chip, which will look like all the other plastic chips. Except for those of you who will HAVE to put them into leather holsters. Oh, we're off on the road to Morocco….

In-Progress At Pocono: Sprint Cup And Nationwide Action
There is a big weekend of racing on tap. Three series are racing on three different racetracks in three different cities.
SPEED kicks-off the coverage with Steve Byrnes hosting Sprint Cup practice at Noon Eastern Time. Byrnes will be joined by Jeff Hammond and Larry McReynolds in the announce booth. Veteran Matt Yocum will work with TNT's Ralph Shaheen reporting from the garage area.
After the practice is over, John Roberts will be along with NASCAR Live at 1:30PM. Bob Dillner and Hermie Sadler will be his reporters for this show.
Then, for the first time ever, the Sprint Cup Series qualifying will come along without the NASCAR on Fox gang. This time at 3:30PM, it will be Steve Byrnes calling the action with Hammond and McReynolds alongside. Down in the garage area will be the TNT team of Marty Snider and Lindsay Czarniak.
The ESPN2 guys will sneak-in one hour of Nationwide practice at 6PM. Dr. Jerry Punch, Rusty Wallace and Andy Petree will be in the booth. Jamie Little, Shannon Spake and Dave Burns will be in the garage area.
This post will serve to host your TV-related comments about the early action of Friday. To add your comments, just click on the COMMENTS button below and follow the directions. The rules for posting are located on the right side of the main page. Thanks again for taking the time to stop by.

Do you have any idea who's handling the production truck duties for the Cup practice and qualifying sessions during these TNT weekends? Is this just a TNT production with Speed logos or do they have some other individuals handling the Friday and Saturday duties?
Assuming this isn't the Fox production truck, it will be very interesting to see how this production truck handles practice and qualifying. I sure hope it's much better than ESPN's pathetic efforts that completely ignore the on-track action, and that we will still see all of the cars' entire qualifying runs with the TiVo style format.
I really wish ESPN would embrace the TNT method to covering NASCAR weekends. I love the fact that TNT just shows up on race days for their big ratings numbers and leaves practice and qualifying to the dependable auto racing network - Speed Channel.
The fans have been the biggest losers in ESPN's half-hearted efforts to cover practice and qualifying sessions. Not just because of the terrible production ESPN does for these sessions, but because once Indy goes around will be inexplicably faced with morning practice blackouts and weekly tape-delays of Happy Hour once college football season starts (remember the weekend last year when Happy Hour got pushed to like 1 AM and STILL got bumped back later in the morning by a pre-emption for Baseball Tonight?).
Let Speed Channel handle every practice and qualifying session like they are this weekend. PLEASE.

certainly hope everyone up at long pond is ready for the incredibly hot and humid weekend: temps in the mid-90s and humidity almost the same. welcome to eastern pennsylvania in the summer.
that being said: it can have an impact on the drivers and teams if they haven't hydrated enough prior to hitting the track. and the track itself will be a major contributor to the qualifying process.
batchief: i have become a BIG truck fan of late and that was my question also. jd? any advice?

Did speed change their scoring banner a little? It looks as if the car number graphics are different. Maybe it is just me.

It's sort of strange to see there being an overlap in coverage later today.....with Cup qualifying on Speed eating 30 minutes into ESPN2's coverage of Nationwide practice. I wonder if Cup qualifying will actually take that long with just 45 cars entered.

Sure would enjoy hearing more driver's interviewed during this practice session.
From a "competition" standpoint, seems like the teams and NASCAR would start using these practice sessions with more emphasis on "race" type situations.
The COT has proven to be less than stellar under race conditions. The COT needs more "practice" with cars around it.... for now the only time other cars are around the COT is on race day and it gives us fans a boring race with little passing for position.
I'm surprised to see SO MANY single car runs in this Pocono practice session.

I dont know if the production truck folks are reading today.....
But, i've been getting a video "hiccup" alot today. Audio isnt effected, but the video will stutter for a quick second from time to time.
I watch on DirecTV if that helps. But I have also noticed this at nearly every track this year.
Is it some kind of radio / communication interference at the track ??
Just wanted to let ya know.

the TNT crew is handling the practice and qualifying sessions but they are using the SPEED look. This is just like Fox did during their half of the year.

That speed shot on top of the wall in Turn 3 has had a constant problem with the video this whole session.
Almost looks like a loose cable or kink in the cable. Every time is Pans....the video goes all funky.

i was also having that video "hiccup" that ken mentioned. i'm on comcast outside philly.
and, now that we've mentioned for the umpteeth time since practice started that busch is running all 3 series this weekend, can we backpedal a bit on it for the rest of the weekend? we get it, we get it. and there are other stories to be told.
in all seriousness, it's beyond understandable now. i get it: he's leading the cup, he's running everyone else off the tracks right now but c'mon! it needn't be "all busch all the time", does it? at what point does the media coverage of the story become the story itself? are we there yet?

red- I thought Long Pond was up higher and did not have such high temps & humidity? I do recall 1 year at least 15 years ago when 1 of the Pocono races (2nd 1 I believe) had to be red flagged for fog.
- June 6, 2008 at 2:03 PM
- red said...
hey richard in nc: yep, long pond is in the mountains so the temps are a bit lower. and fog has been a factor for more than one race at that track. there is usually a good breeze that comes across and that helps. but its still scheduled to be hot and humid as the weekend progresses.
(and now i'm wacthing f-1! excellent.)

I am also weary of all Kyle...all the time...in all three series. No escaping. Since he is in all three series I think he has bypassed all the Jr talk and all the Danica mania talk from the last year :(
I remember when I used to enjoy the Trucks race more ...sigh...not that I hold a grudge he wrecked JB towards the end of that one truck race or anything....

Interesting how they're doing practice on ESPN2.....Punch and Rusty are calling it from the infield booth Bestwick is normally in. And it looks like Petree and Jamie Little are handling the duties of pit reporters. Must have a limited staff on hand.

Why is ESPN hosting practice coverage from the Pit Studio instead of the booth?
- June 6, 2008 at 6:11 PM
- Mike said...
ESPN2 may regret televising this practice session. With there being a final session later this evening, it doesn't appear too many cars are going to get out on the track during this first session with as hot as it is.

Okay, this time I will TRY to type coherently. It's been a long hot day here, getting to 100 tomorrow.
Anyway, I thought the Speed gang did a nice job showing the Sprint cars qualifying, as well as with the pit road interviews.
If there are horrendous typos in this post, please don't tell me.

Ken - I get that same hiccup and have been all year. It always seems to happen when they change shots. It also seems to be when the camera shot goes from a shot of the corner to the straight away. The image freezes for a split second then changes to the next shot.
Do you have HD?
I have DirecTV HD.

It is interesting to see that Nascar Now is up against tracksidethis evening. I don't remember that happening before.

They're definitely using this practice session to promote the Belmont Stakes (which will be broadcast on sister ABC on Saturday). Especially when talking about Kyle Busch going for his own Triple Crown.

haus20 -
Yep same thing here.
I've been on DirecTV HD all year and I've experienced that same video problem quite a bit.
I noticed the same thing when they switch shots, but for some reason, today at Pocono, that Turn 3 speedshot had video problems while it panned from left to right.
Would be cool if we get some kind of confirmation from FOX / SPEED TV what the problem is or was.

Tremendous qualifying coverage. It was great to see every second of every car's entire qualifying run thanks to the TiVo style format. It was great to see the focus of the broadcast remain on the session they are there to televise (unlike the ESPN method of skipping on-track action to show full-screen video packages and having the booth have long-winded conversations about anything but the on-track action). It was also great to see the entire screen filled with the on-track action (unlike the ESPN method of putting it in a tiny box surrounded by ridiculous line graphs and driver stats).
If TNT's production of qualifying today is a sign of things to come Sunday I will be thrilled. Great start.
To address earlier concerns, yes DirecTV's Speed Channel HD always seems to have video freeze-ups throughout anything they cover - Raceday, practice, qualifying, etc. Hopefully someone fixes that problem soon.

I was not thrilled with Steve Byrnes on this broadcast. I've noticed that on a lot his shows he seems to really get off on making the other panelists laugh, and he is the first to let out a huge belly laugh at the slightest comical comment (where others might only chuckle softly), as well as his own jokes. Maybe it's just me, but I started obsessing on the big guy's laugh and his constant attempt at joke-making during the last TWIN, when it seemed like him and Waltrip were running off some inside jokes over and over again that no one else could get. Well, the big laugh showed up again today during qualifying. It would make a good drinking game, but instead I had to turn on the mute and just watch the throttle/placement graphics.

@haus20--I don't recall this type of conflict either, but I miss most since my DVR is dual so it can record 2 channels at the same time.
I actually had a rare triple conflict tonight--Trackside, NN and For Race Fans Only. Since there's a Trackside replay, I told it not to record that so it recorded FRFO (which *normally* doesn't start until 8 eastern) and NN since there wasn't a replay for it. Dan H. is on vay cay so Dan W. filled in tonight :).

Celebrated astronaut Scott Carpenter, whose 1962 flight into space marked only the second time an American had orbited Earth, will be brought back to Boulder to be memorialized in the city where he was born and grew into an eventual living legend.
Former Sen. John Glenn, who preceded Carpenter by a matter of months on the first orbital flight by a U.S. astronaut, is expected to deliver the eulogy of his former colleague and friend at the Nov. 2 ceremony at St. John's Episcopal Church, 1419 Pine St.
Carpenter died at a Denver hospice on Oct. 10 due to complications from a stroke. He was 88.
A number of former astronauts will serve as honorary pallbearers during the ceremony and other dignitaries are expected to be in attendance, said Mike Murphy of Murphy & Associates Funeral Directors in Boulder. He said a list of those planning to be there won't be finalized until next week, but invitations have gone out to Colorado's congressional delegation.
The funeral, which is scheduled for 11 a.m., is open to the public. Carpenter, a former naval aviator, will receive military honors before his body is cremated and buried at his family's ranch in Steamboat Springs.
Murphy said St. John's seats around 550 people, though a portion of the church will be reserved for dignitaries, family members and friends. A chapel on the property that holds up to 120 people and a parish hall that can accommodate another 150 or so will be available to those who wish to attend, with audio from the funeral piped in.
Police will block off Pine Street in front of St. John's, while three nearby churches -- First United Methodist, Trinity Lutheran, and Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church -- will make their parking lots available to funeral goers.
Murphy said the public will have two closed casket visitation opportunities at St. John's on Nov. 1 -- the first from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and the second from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Carpenter was born in Boulder in 1925 and graduated from Boulder High School in 1943 before briefly attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. He joined the Navy's V-12a training program, designed to help train pilots during World War II, and served for 10 years with the branch before being chosen in 1959 by the newly formed National Aeronautics and Space Administration to be part of its first astronaut group.
Carpenter was one of the last two survivors of the original Mercury 7 space program. Glenn, 92, is the other.
Carpenter's May 24, 1962 flight in space is remembered for its high drama during re-entry, when the key instrument that tells the pilot which way the capsule is pointing malfunctioned, forcing Carpenter to manually take over control of the landing. He also found himself dangerously low on fuel.
NASA's Mission Control, which had lost contact with their astronaut, announced that Carpenter would overshoot his landing zone by more than 200 miles. The grim news prompted CBS newsman Walter Cronkite to solemnly inform his audience: "We may have ... lost an astronaut."
But Carpenter managed to orient himself by simply peering out the space capsule's window. The Navy found him in the Caribbean, floating in his life raft with his feet propped up.
Carpenter's forays into space ended then, but his explorations continued several years later when he completed a 30-day stint in the ocean as part of the Navy's SeaLab II program. He retired from the Navy in 1969, founded his company Sea Sciences Inc., worked closely with Jacques Cousteau and dove in most of the world's oceans, including under the ice in the Arctic.
Carpenter returned to Boulder last year to attend the rededication of the Boulder park bearing his name and to mark the 50th anniversary of his orbital flight.

But the feel-good campaign ended on the Lady Bulldogs' home field Thursday night, as top-seeded RHS was shut out by second-seeded Jefferson City Helias 1-0 in the championship game of the Missouri Class 2 District 10 Tournament on Kiwanis Field at the Bray Sports Complex.
After suffering the first losing season in program history in 2012, Rolla ends a solid 2013 with a 16-5 mark and ranked No. 9 in the final Missouri Class 2 regular-season state poll.
Helias (14-8), ranked No. 8 in the state poll, will meet Union (17-5) at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Union in Class 2 Sectional playoff action. Union defeated St. Francis Borgia 5-0 in the District 9 Tournament title game on Wednesday.
Helias will be trying to get back to the Class 2 Final Four after finishing third in last year's Missouri Class 2 State Tournament.
The Lady Bulldog lineup got extremely thin early on Thursday.
Having lost one key starter to suspension earlier in the month, Rolla freshman forward Emma Laney went down with a knee injury 10 minutes into Thursday's contest and didn't return.
That left Rolla without the forward threat it needed to go with junior Nicole Howard. And that allowed Helias to tilt its defense even more toward Howard, who was a 30-goal scorer this spring.
And Rolla simply didn't have enough firepower to match the Helias Lady Crusaders.
The Lady Bulldogs' best scoring chance came with around two minutes left in the first half on a scramble in the box.
Rolla's freshman keeper Katie Hudson kept Helias off the scoreboard until junior midfielder Becky Roberts fired a shot about 20 yards out into the right corner of the goal with 18:06 remaining in the game.
There would be no other scoring.
"She's a legit player," said RHS head coach Mike Howard of Roberts. "We struggled all night with her. She got a good look and finished it.
"But I'm proud of our girls; that was a very good Helias team. They can flat out play. By the end of the game we were really getting thin, having lost three starters. Losing Emma early in the game put us in a hole."
Rolla loses four seniors but will return a strong core for next season.
"We'll have another year of experience," Howard said. "Just getting healthy will be key.
"I think our girls wanted to get Rolla girls' soccer back to where it used to be and this season was a very good step in that direction."

There's a Valve interview on VG247 talking with Valve's Chet Faliszek about life at Valve, and what they are up to, including a discussion of VR tech. On a related note, GamesIndustry International has a response from Chet to yesterday's rumor that Nexon was bidding to acquire Valve, to which he responds: "There's no thoughts about that - everyone likes working there, we like working together we like the culture we have and the way it works because of all the parts of it. We're not changing any of that, we're pretty happy. We're doing OK." When asked if he could explicitly deny the rumor, he responded: "Yeah!"

A Montegut man has died nearly a week after he crashed his SUV in an effort to avoid a golf cart driven by a teen who had been drinking, police say.
A Montegut man has died nearly a week after he crashed his SUV in an effort to avoid a golf cart driven by a teen who had been drinking, police say.
Cleveland Towns, 63, died Saturday afternoon, six days after he was hospitalized in critical condition, State Police Troop C said Sunday.
Charges are expected to be upgraded against the 18-year-old Chauvin resident Katelyn Duplantis, who was driving the cart along a darkened stretch of La. 24 about 2 a.m. May 5, police said.
She was charged with negligent injuring, and a breath test found her to be over the legal limit, according to police.
Authorities said they will discuss the matter with the Terrebonne Parish District Attorney's Office before deciding what the new charges will be.
Towns was driving north when he encountered the golf cart, police said. He swerved the Oldsmobile Bravada he was driving to avoid an E-Z Go Golf Cart, which was also traveling north.
His SUV ran off the road and hit a tree, which sent a branch through windshield, according to State Police who noted Towns was not wearing a seat belt.
He was transported to Terrebonne General Medical Center and eventually to University Hospital in New Orleans, where he died, authorities said.
A passenger with Towns was wearing a seat belt and was not hurt, police said.
Results of a blood test on Towns are pending, and the crash is under investigation.
It's against the law to drive most golf carts on the road, primarily because the slow moving vehicles can't safely share the highway with cars and trucks, authorities said. The crash that killed towns has prompted police to crack down on the illegal use of golf carts on local roadways.

Arma 3 will be exclusive to Steam, according to project lead Joris-Jan van't Land. He says that the goal as set by the Bohemia Interactive CEO is to release the game in 2013, and feels that "without going Steam-exclusive, we would not be able to release Arma 3 in 2013."
In a lengthy dev blog post, van't Land says that the Steam DRM and distribution network will help the company, while touting features like automatic patching to make the experience smoother for players. You'll need to run the game through Steam, but it will support an Offline mode. The post also notes that boxed copies will be available in most regions, but they'll simply be Steam codes in a retail package or possibly contain data to speed up the installation. Finally, van't Land suggests "there was a very real chance there would be no Arma 3 this year" without the Steam support, so even without the features he feels it's worthwhile to hit their goal.

NucleoBond Xtra Maxi and Maxi Plus are a new generation of anion exchange plasmid purification kits based on the patented NucleoBond technology. The typical yields of >1,000 µg of ultra-pure plasmid DNA can be obtained in about half of the time compared to other Maxi kits based on anion exchange chromatography. The entire plasmid purification procedure takes 80 min with NucleoBond Xtra Maxi and 34 min with NucleoBond Xtra Maxi Plus.
NucleoBond Xtra Filters: Specially designed column filters are supplied inserted in the NucleoBond Xtra columns, allowing a convenient and time-saving parallel clarification of bacterial lysate and loading onto the column—minimizing the risk of clogging.
NucleoBond Xtra Columns: The enlarged columns lead to lower silica resin beds and enable faster flow of lysate and buffers through the columns, allowing for a fast purification. The improved silica material is based on the anion-exchange group MAE.
NucleoBond Xtra Buffers: Optimized buffer compositions lead to improved alkaline lysis and increased column flow rates. Get more DNA in a shorter processing time.
NucleoBond Xtra Finalizers: Finalizers are provided with the Plus kits. The NucleoBond Finalizer technology replaces the tedious and time-consuming centrifugation step that follows every isopropanol precipitation of diluted DNA samples.

BELVIDERE — Belvidere schools' standardized test scores hovered around the statewide average again this year, but that doesn't mean students aren't improving academically.
The state's Board of Education raised the success bar for the 2013 Illinois Standards Achievement Test, which is given to third- through eighth-graders, to better align with exams given to high school students to measure college and career readiness.
The state also introduced more Common Core State Standards questions into this test, which educators view as more rigorous, said Matt Zickert, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
These two factors caused the district's ISAT scores to drop from 82.1 percent of students who met or exceeded the Illinois Learning Standards in 2011-12 to 57.2 percent in 2012-13, according to report cards listed on the School District's website. The state performed around 82.5 percent in 2011-12 and 58.8 percent in 2012-13.
"Staying even or getting better may be a pretty positive thing because it's a harder test," Zickert said.
Lincoln Elementary School made the greatest gains academically, shrinking the gap between its performance and the state's.
According to the 2011-12 report cards, 69.9 percent of Lincoln students met or exceeded the Illinois Learning Standards, compared with the state's 82.5 percent. The most recent data show that 55.4 percent of Lincoln students met this mark while 58.8 percent of students across the state did.
Principal Beth Marchini said her team changed the way it addressed the needs of students who were falling behind.
Interventionists used to pull students from science and social science classes to spend extra time on math and reading. But educators didn't target the specific reasons why students weren't understand the concepts.
Now students are broken into groups, like those that focus on maintaining information or enrichment, to address what's causing the misunderstanding. Teachers also altered their problem-solving process to better monitor this group's progress.
"We make sure the intervention they are receiving matches exactly what they need," Marchini said.
