Titanium prices,
aerospace industry,
Michael Matz,
787 Dreamliner,
wind turbines
The rising price of oil and the aviation industrys need for lighter, more-fuel-efficient aircraft are brightening the outlook for the global titanium industry.
At any given time, between 40 and 60 percent of the titanium metal shipped globally is used in aerospace and aviation, according to Michael Metz, president of the North American arm of the worlds largest titanium metal producer, Russias VSMPO-Avisma Corp.
And as the titanium industry heads into the final quarter of 2012, the aviation market looks especially promising because the worlds airplane builders are introducing new aircraft that have the potential to transform civil aviation. Boeing Co. has rolled out its new 787 Dreamliner and already has more than 800 orders for the fuel-efficient twin-aisle aircraft. Airbus SAS, the major European aircraft manufacturer, is introducing its wide-body A350 family of aircraft in the second half of 2014. Both the 787 and the A350 rely heavily on carbon fiber in their airframe construction.
Theres a lot more titanium used in carbon-fiber aircraft, said Metz, who is president of the International Titanium Association. Theyre much more titanium-intensive.
A typical Dreamliner uses an estimated 180,000 to 225,000 pounds of titanium, which has titanium producers anticipating increased orders into 2013 and 2014. In our world, Metz said, the airplane market right now is pretty good.
The 787 and A350, which can carry as many as 250 to 300 passengers, depending on configuration, will serve as replacements for the Boeing 767 and the Airbus A330 when they begin dominating airline fleets later this decade.
Much of the spike in new aircraft development has been spurred by oil prices that since 2010 have consistently stayed above $100 per barrel. Less than 10 years ago, oil was $25 a barrel, and all of the fleet in use today was designed more than 10 years ago, Metz said. The airlines just cant compete (using) older-technology aircraft.
Metz said that aircraft manufacturers have been using more titanium in the production of newer models of older aircraft ever since the price of fuel started rising. A current Boeing 737, the workhorse of many airlines such as Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co., is much more fuel-efficient than a classic 737 thanks to the increased use of titanium. High-strength, low-weight titanium parts also will be important in the new Airbus A320neo, due out in 2015.Boeing currently is producing three-and-a-half 787s per month, but the Chicago-based aircraft manufacturer has told analysts it expects to increase production to 10 per month by next year. For Metz and others in the titanium metal business, thats a significant increase in demand.
While the aviation industry is a promising growth market for titanium metal, it is hardly the only source of demand. Corrosion-resistant applicationschemical processing plants, water desalinization units, and nuclear and fossil-fuel electric generating stationsare the next biggest market for titanium metal. But the corrosion-resistant market has a more problematic outlook as 2012 enters its last quarter, Metz said. The corrosion-resistant market is more dependent upon the chemical process industry, and that is not experiencing any kind of robust growth.Metz said that the industrial market for titanium metal took a pretty big hit in the 2008-09 recession. We are making less houses, less cars, less of a lot of things than we did four or five years ago, he said. There is probably some titanium in that manufacturing plant that made those consumer goods.
The electric power generation industry is a major consumer of corrosion-resistant titanium, but while the worlds power consumption grows each year, not all of that power comes from nuclear or fossil-fuel generating units that require titanium metal. Metz noted that the United States and many European countries are encouraging the use of so-called green energy, such as solar power and wind turbines, and few alternative-energy technologies are major consumers of titanium.
An even bigger threat to titanium is the slowdown in the market for baseload coal-fired steam electric generating plants that produce more than 750 megawatts of power per unit. Chinas recent slowdown has impacted the market for coal-fired generation in one of the worlds biggest economies, and worries about the role of coal in global warming have hurt the market for baseload coal units in the United States and other developed countries, where increasing regulatory burdens have hampered utilities efforts to add such units. For example, Charlotte, N.C.-based Duke Energy Corp.s baseload coal gasification unit near Edwardsport, Ind., is more than $1 billion over construction estimates and is still not online, in part due to added regulatory burdens.
Domestic utilities have been attempting to add generation with combined-cycle gas turbine units that typically are rated in the 100-megawatt range and leave a considerably smaller carbon footprint than coal. The discovery of major new shale gas deposits in the United States is creating the potential for gas-fired generation to replace coal-fired generation.
But Metz pointed out that most of the replacement gas energy plants are much smaller and will take decades to supplant coal. There is some skepticism about shale gas in our industry, he said. Are we going to move from 10 percent of the market today to the 70 percent of the generation market that coal has? Thats not likely anytime soon.
Another major utility consumer of titanium metal is the nuclear power industry. But the failure of the nuclear plant at Fukushima during the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami has thrown the future of nuclear power into question.
Given the problems afflicting the baseload fossil-fuel electric power generation market and the chemical processing market, current activity is definitely lower than in recent years, Metz said, especially when its compared to the build rates for the aviation marketplace. And the corrosion-resistant and aviation markets together represent approximately 80 percent of the customer base for titanium worldwide.
But there are alternatives. Some 20 years ago, a recession in the aerospace industry convinced titanium producers to actively pursue other markets, including the health-care and even sporting industries. Producers quickly began research to position titanium in what it called second-tier markets.
The use of titanium in a wide variety of medical applicationship and knee replacements, dental implants, artificial hearts, trauma systems and the likeis a good example. Medical-grade titanium alloys began replacing stainless steel and aluminum for surgical procedures and implants in the 1990s; today, as many as half of all orthopedic implants are made of titanium.
And with an estimated 8 million to 10 million joint replacement surgeries performed in the United States over the past decade, those numbers can add up. One major orthopedic medical device manufacturer, which reported recently that anywhere from 0.5 to 2 pounds of titanium are used in a typical implant, consumes approximately 800,000 pounds of titanium each yearroughly what Boeing consumes in a week for 787 production.
Medical application is a nice, growing part of the market, and there is good stuff happening, Metz said, but noted that it accounts for 5 to 10 percent of the market at besta far cry from the aviation industrys 40 to 60 percent.
Lightweight with a high strength-to-weight ratio and the ability to absorb shock and dampen blows, titanium also is used to make bicycles and sports equipment such as baseball bats, hockey sticks and golf clubs.
Titanium is generally used where economics give you a performance advantage, Metz said. In airplanes, its the strength-to-weight ratio. In industrial applications, its life cycle costing. When you swing a titanium golf club, the ball goes further. You are paying for performance at the end of the day.
From a macro perspective, Metz is ending his term as ITA president feeling optimistic about the industrys future, particularly based on the strength of the resurgent aircraft construction industry. All of the major players in the business are showing profits, he said. The industry, in general, is healthy. There is a lot of capital investment on the strength of potential growth. And there is room to expand production in existing facilities.

The Grayville School Board's old guard quickly found itself at loggerheads with the newcomers Monday, May 20.
The Grayville School Board's old guard quickly found itself at loggerheads with the newcomers Monday, May 20.
Voting on the first real issue it considered, the board deadlocked twice before going behind closed doors to resolve the impasse in executive session.
The stalemate developed as the board considered bids from Sensitrol and Vanguard for fire alarm and security alarm inspection, monitoring and maintenance.
After spending two hours and 45 minutes in executive session, the board finally emerged to approve a multi-year deal with Sensitrol without dissent.
Supt. Sarah Emery said the district presently uses multiple vendors for each facet of the program. "It makes sense to have one vendor, and it would save us some money," she said.
If such a contract had been in place last year, it would have saved the district nearly $4,000, she said, primarily for the replacement of cameras, heat sensors and other such equipment. Maintenance and replacement of equipment was included in both bids.
"We all want to keep our children safe, but we could spend an infinitive amount and not really do it," said one of the new board members, Vanessa Fullop. She questioned if everything in the proposals was necessary.
Emery said most of the items are required by law, except for security systems.
"We want to try to provide the most secure environment possible," she said, pointing to a recent nighttime attack perpetrated on a custodian and warning the board it could be liable in such a situation.
"I don't feel comfortable," said another new board member, Robert Armstrong. "I need time to sit down and digest this." Emery did not later the pricing information came in too late to be included in the packets mailed to board members in advance of the meeting.
"We've got the numbers in front of us," said holdover member Teresa Mitchell.
"We need to do something," said another holdover, John Gray.
"What's the hurry?" asked Armstrong. Gray replied the work should be done while school is out for the summer.
"It's going to be out for a while," Armstrong said.
Fullop then motioned to table the matter and Armstrong seconded. Board President David Hall joined those two in voting to table while Gray, Mitchell and holdover member Charles May voted in opposition.
New board member John Stockton is employed by Vanguard and abstained, creating a 3-3-1 deadlock.
Emery advised Hall the board should continue voting until a motion was approved.
Gray then motioned to accept the Sensitrol bid, gaining a second from Mitchell. Again, a 3-3-1 vote resulted.
Emery ended the affair by advising the board to consider the matter in executive session.
Patrick Seil of The Navigator objected and Emery cited an exemption to the Illinois Open Meetings Act she placed on the official agenda: "emergency security procedures if actual danger exists to the safety of employees, students, staff or public property."
Seil said he would contact the newspaper's attorney in the morning.
Esther Seitz, a First Amendment attorney with the Springfield firm of Craven & Craven, said it appears the board erred by discussing the matter in closed session.
She maintained "the exemption cited was wrong, and there was no justification for secrecy since this had already been discussed in open session."
The contract with Sensitrol is a five-year pact with a provision for no cost increases throughout its length, Emery said. The cost to the district is $3,012 annually.
The board approved an amended budget for the 2013 fiscal year without dissention.
Emery said the district did engage in deficit spending, as expected, but is "doing better than we anticipated if these numbers stay."
She noted the district did tap reserves in its education fund and transportation is "not as low as we anticipated." However, the operations and maintenance account is down to $52,876, and "that is getting low," she added.
The amended budget is on display in the district office and will be the subject of a public hearing prior to the board's July 24 meeting.
Looking to maximize the operations and maintenance fund dollars, the board will seek a state maintenance grant.
The grant provides a dollar-for-dollar match for up to $50,000 in expenditures, Emery said. The deadline to apply is May 31.
Emery said repairs to the boiler at Wells Elementary School would be the "major project" in the application.
Glen Givens, a technician with Hampton Refrigeration Service, Inc., of Evansville, Ind., who services the heating system, warned the board the boiler-installed in 2007 but grafted on to an incompatible existing system-will cause "serious, serious problems" within five years. The building, he said, "is going to need a mechanical refit."
He advised board members to begin researching a hot water system and to consider placing rooftop package air conditioning over each classroom in order to meet federal interior air quality standards.
At the moment, the board needs to have steam traps in the building inspected and it is likely several will need to be replaced, he said. "That will get you another wintertime," said Givens.
Custodian Adam Roesch said the system "is back to that spot we were in 10 years ago," before the present boiler was installed.
Other items that need to be addressed include refinishing the gym floor, construction of a new "time-out room" at Wells, installation of hand dryers in restrooms, repair and replacement of exterior lighting, installation of new security locks in classrooms, bleacher maintenance and installation of an air conditioning system for the offices at the junior/senior high school.
"If we can get free money, why wouldn't we," said Mitchell. The board gave unanimous approval to a motion to submit a grant application.
In other business Monday night:
• Terry Haywood and Logan Bell were employed as a summer maintenance workers following the executive session.
• The board accepted the resignations of Sherry Bowland as a cafeteria worker, Johnathon Marion as a teacher's aide and Rachel Attebury as junior high softball coach. The board also accepted the retirement of cook Esther Martin before adjourning at 11:35 p.m.
• The board voted without dissent to renew a cooperative football program with the Edwards County district.
• Approval was given for a volleyball camp to be conducted in the school gym this summer by junior high coaches Kim Milligan and Tricia Myers.
• Dr. Melissa Crow, Wells principal, reported the pre-kindergarten program received a rating of 3.56 out of a possible 7 in a state assessment. Most of the program's shortfalls were facilities-related, she said, such as restroom doors being too narrow to be handicapped-acccessible. "We have a really good pre-kindergarten program," she said. As for the facilities, "You have to do with what you've got to work with," she added.d
• Crow noted the district's curriculum must shift to "common core" standards this next school year, which will be "much more stringent." She warned there will be many changes in the curriculum. "It will be tougher, but I think our stdents can do it."
• And Emery reported the Midland Trail Conference is shifting the circuit's baseball season from the fall to the spring, which will bring the league in line with Grayville.

The Kresge Foundation has awarded a $300,000 grant to Lawrence Technological University to consolidate four programs that it already has in Detroit and add additional programs at a new design center in Detroit's Midtown area.
The LTU Center for Design + Technology will anchor a new commercial building that Midtown Detroit Inc. will build at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Willis Street. Construction will begin later this year for a three-story commercial building that is scheduled to open in fall 2014.
LTU's College of Architecture and Design has long-standing relationships in Detroit's urban core, and currently has four programs operating in the city:
• Detroit Studio, located in the New Center area, has been providing design support for neighborhood and community-based projects in Detroit since 1999. The latest student project is the development of a master plan for Rouge Park on the west side of Detroit.
• detroitSHOP is an urban design studio in the renamed Chrysler House in downtown Detroit. Most recently, the studio, working in cooperation with Quicken Loans and Bedrock Ventures, has undertaken projects in the central business district and along the M-1 transit corridor.
• Studio Couture is a storefront exhibit space on Woodward Avenue in downtown Detroit. It exhibits the work of LTU design students, as well as artists in the Detroit region and national exhibitions. Additionally it offers lectures and panel discussions surrounding the topics of architecture, design and urban issues.
• A satellite classroom located in Ponyride, a design studio, recently converted an underutilized parcel into an urban miniature golf course built with reclaimed materials.
"Having all LTU's Detroit projects and academic programming under one roof will provide synergies that will make all of the programs stronger," said Amy Green Deines, associate dean of LTU's College of Architecture and Design. "This new prominent location on Woodward Avenue will lead to more opportunities to engage organizations and groups that are working to rebuild and rejuvenate the city."
The first phase of approximately 8,000 square feet will provide space for these four programs, as well as Studio[ci], an LTU research lab that draws on the expertise of professional architects, urban designers, and civil, mechanical, and environmental engineers. Additionally, this phase will implement a K-12 educational outreach program.
The second phase of approximately 6,000 square feet will provide space for other LTU programming, such as the makeLab, which provides digital fabrication services for a wide range of design projects.
Lawrence Tech has a long history of student engagement in projects in Detroit and many other southeast Michigan communities. Frequently, the student work helps community groups, businesses, residents and civic leaders evaluate and develop new ideas and solutions.
"We continue to work with professional partners to facilitate positive community change. We have educated and will continue to educate designers and innovators who will change the course of Detroit and the region," Deines said.
The Kresge Foundation is a $3 billion private, national foundation that seeks to influence the quality of life for future generations through its support of nonprofit organizations working in its seven program areas: arts and culture, community development, Detroit, education, the environment, health, and human services. In 2012, the Board of Trustees approved 410 awards totaling $130.5 million; $150.3 million was paid out to grantees over the course of the year.

Boonville Community Foundation moving forward
BOONVILLE — A new entry into the charitable scene in Boonville, the Boonville Community Foundation seeks to match local donors to causes they care about most.
Rather than being a competitor for charitable dollars, the Boonville Community Foundation ("BCF") seeks to enhance charitable giving in the community by creating long-term sources of revenue for most any charitable purpose.
According to Kate Fjell, Special Project Assistant for the City of Boonville, "The Boonville Community Foundation promises to be a great way to channel a donor's charitable gifts."
Instead of the common image of a foundation as a single silo of money provided by a primary donor that is then directed by a board for specific, board-defined purposes, a community foundation is composed mostly of numerous permanent funds established by donors for various purposes for the long-term benefit of the residents of a defined geographic area, such as Boonville.
Grants from Community Foundation funds are often advised by the donors, who create specific funds which match their charitable interests. For example, a donor who has deep commitment to early childhood education can establish a fund that will be used solely for that purpose. Or a donor who has many charitable interests can establish a donor-advised-fund, from which the donor recommends grants on an ongoing basis to a broad array of needs. Such a fund is an effective, low-cost alternative to a private foundation—with much less hassle and reporting requirements.
The BCF is an affiliate partner of the Community Foundation of Central Missouri, which has its office in Columbia, MO, and which provides the back-office work for BCF. The BCF was started in April 2012 with two main funds donated by the City of Boonville for future granting to charitable needs. Two additional funds have been established by independent Boonville citizens, one dedicated to the renovation of the Katy Bridge crossing the Missouri River in Boonville, and the other a donor-advised-fund for family charitable giving.
John Baker, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Central Missouri, says that he is "delighted by the prospects of enhanced charitable giving and philanthropy in the Boonville area as a result of starting up the Boonville Community Foundation. Every city in Missouri deserves the opportunity to give and receive from a local community foundation. They can make so many terrific things happen for communities."
One of the specialties of the Boonville Community Foundation is its ability to receive alternative gifts such as appreciated stock (publically traded or closely held), land, artwork, jewelry, and more, to fund a charitable fund, which may then be granted to charitable causes. A community foundation enables local citizens to keep the wealth of a community in the community for that particular community's needs and enhancements. The only limits to a community foundation's positive impact are the charitable hearts and creative minds of the citizens of a geographic area.
While the City of Boonville initiated the BCF partnership with the Community Foundation of Central Missouri, the BCF is in the process of being turned over to a local board of directors who will make all decisions regarding the Foundation independently from the City. The BCF is designed to be of and by the citizens of Boonville.
If you have questions about the Boonville Community Foundation, please contact Kate Fjell or John Baker.

WASHINGTON — Colorado stands to lose $85 million in federal funding and will suffer an $810 million hit to economic activity from defense-related spending cuts this year if Congress does nothing in the next few days to avert federal automatic spending cuts that will kick in Friday.
About 12,400 Colorado defense civilians could be furloughed, customs lines at Denver International Airport could lengthen, some small airports could be shuttered because there would be no air-traffic-control facilities, and the state's meat and poultry plants could temporarily shut down because of a shortage of federal inspectors, according to estimates of impacts from state and federal agencies.
The so-called sequester will cut about $42.5 billion from defense discretionary spending and another $42.5 billion in domestic discretionary spending this year.
It was originally passed as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 after a "super committee" couldn't reach a deal to cut $1.5 trillion over 10 years from the federal budget.
If allowed to continue, the sequester is designed to chop $1.2 trillion from the federal government over 10 years.
Those deep cuts would affect, among others, the people who maintain Fort Carson; breast-feeding and nutritional support for poor mothers; immigration and border control; and the hours national parks are open.
Almost 4,000 fewer Colorado special-education students would receive support, 700 Colorado kids would lose access to school-readiness programs, and more than 100 teachers funded by Title I money could lose their jobs.
"The two biggest things I'm worried about are the job losses," said Gov. John Hickenlooper, in Washington, D.C., over the weekend at the National Governors Association meeting.
"But the largest impact is in our local municipalities, all the federal funds that come to the state and then we ship them out and they affect people locally," Hickenlooper said. "The sense of uncertainty that this all causes. When there is uncertainty, people don't buy, people don't hire."
Forcing their hand
The sequester was designed to be so unattractive that it would force action from lawmakers. Neither Republicans nor Democrats think its haphazard cuts are an ideal way to reduce federal spending.
But the politicians in this town are still at an impasse, and most are not optimistic that there will be any sort of deal in the next four days.
"Unfortunately, it now appears that the country will experience the painful and sweeping automatic budget cuts because some in Congress are not interested in the balanced, deficit-reduction approach that Coloradans want," said Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat. "Once the public sees the effects of these cuts, I am confident that Coloradans and people across the country will push my colleagues to stand with me and pursue a balanced, bipartisan plan to reduce our deficit."
Over the weekend, the White House rolled out reams of local data on how states could feel the burden of the budget cuts.
President Barack Obama and Senate Democrats have proposed a deal that blends cuts with tax increases. Republicans are insisting that any sort of deal cannot raise taxes.
Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, proposed an idea last week that keeps the levels of cuts the same for the Defense Department but allows the defense secretary to be more discriminate about how the cuts are made.
"I think it needs to be done in a smarter, more targeted way," Coffman said. "I agree with the spending levels; I just think across-the-board cuts, the indiscriminate across-the-board cuts, is just bad governance."
As it stands, the Defense Department's operations will be affected in bases across the country, including Fort Carson, Buckley Air Force Base and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Fort Carson employs about 3,000 Department of Defense civilians, who would likely be put on unpaid furloughs starting in April. The base has already told its facility contractor, Kira, that its contract may be pared by 50 percent.
"Our command is deeply concerned about this; our civilians, they support our soldiers, they support our families, they maintain our readiness," said Lt. Col. Armando Hernandez, who is with the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson. "In 10 years of war, the civilians have been an integral part of our success."
Longer DIA waits
Other Colorado offices that will be affected by the sequester were seeking answers over the weekend about how the cuts could be felt. It is unlikely anything drastic would happen right away — if at all — and the biggest impact will likely be felt over several months or several years if Congress keeps it intact, several agencies said.
At Denver International Airport, waits to get through customs could increase by 50 percent and waits to get to the main terminal could increase — because the Transportation Security Administration will likely face furloughs.
"We are obviously watching this very closely as we know our federal partners will be impacted by this," said DIA spokeswoman Stacey Stegman. "Still, there is nothing prescribed about how the airport will be impacted, as we know that impacts could vary. We trust that our federal agencies will make the right decisions."
At Denver Public Schools, financial officers have prepared for a 7 percent — or $4.5 million — cut to its federal programs next school year. Most affected would be Title I, which mostly benefits poor and special-needs children.
Next school year, DPS is prepared to absorb the costs with savings, but if the cuts continue, there will likely be a reduction in force, said David Hart, chief financial officer.
"Smarter" cuts
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, agrees with the cuts — in dollar amount, just not in methodology. He said the Senate should pass a House-driven measure to let the president decide where the cuts should go.
"Giving the president ... authority to make cuts that are smarter than are currently laid out would go a long ways and wouldn't affect public priorities as long as it was carried out in a way that is best for the American people," Gardner said. "But I think if we can't find three pennies out of a dollar in waste and fraud, we'll never be able to start deficit reduction."

Scripture: Mark 10:1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him and as was his custom, he taught them.
Observation: We see that Jesus had some "customs." In Luke 4:16, the custom mentioned is reading from the scriptures.
And we know that Judas knew where to find Jesus, because it was his custom to pray, and the garden was probably a favorite prayer place of Jesus.
In the verse above we see that teaching was a customary thing for Jesus to do. They called him, The Teacher. People may have come to Jesus for many reasons, but it was his priority that they left with better understanding. They would have something to think about and discuss on their trip back home.
Application: What are the customary things in my life? When people think of me, what comes first to their mind?
Prayer: Lord, with prayer and the word strong in my life, may people know that it is customary for me to do what pleases you. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Select a 2013 Ford Super Duty F-250 SRW trim level
2013 model year changes
Ford's commercial-oriented Super-Duty trucks return for 2013 with plenty of small changes. Among them is an improved braking system, including a larger parking brake and bigger front and rear brake rotors. The gross vehicle weight rating has increased to a class-leading 14,000 pounds. Other changes include the addition of a new Platinum series model, which features a perforated mesh grille with satin chrome surround and other exterior touches, while inside you'll find premium wood grain surfaces, a heated leather steering wheel and more. Ford's exclusive SYNC with MyFord Touch is new for 2013. It's standard on Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum models. The system includes an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen display, with access to climate controls, phone, entertainment, and navigation features, along with voice control. The display also shows view from the rear backup camera. New exterior colors include Blue Jeans Metallic, Kodiak Brown Metallic and Ruby Red Metallic.
Competitive comparison
Flexibility for commercial use; tougher than standard full-size trucks; class-leading tow ratings; Power Stroke diesel's 800 pound-feet of torque; full roster of safety features
Special features for 2013
The F-Series Super Duty trucks bear a resemblance to the ubiquitous, best-selling F-150 pickups. These Super Duty models are made to serve an especially pure purpose -- to reliably, safely and confidently haul heavy loads or heavy trailers, day after day. What's surprising is that these workhorses are actually quite comfortable -- and almost luxurious -- inside. Ford boasts that their PowerStroke diesel engine is the most powerful diesel pickup engine on the market and that the Super Duty F-350 DRW (dual rear wheel) model has a best-in-class payload (7,110 pounds) and fifth-wheel tow rating (22,700), as well as a best-in-class conventional tow rating of 17,500 pounds.
Now available with new colors, the 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty is a full-size pickup truck available in regular and extended cab trim levels. The F-250 is powered by a standard 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 385 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. For upgraded performance, Ford offers an optional 6.7-liter turbocharged V8 diesel engine that produces 400 hp and a whopping 800 lb-ft of torque. All engine and drivetrain options, RWD and 4WD, are paired to the Ford TorqShift® 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, specifically designed to handle extra torque. Conventional towing capacity is limited to a maximum load of 14,000 lbs. Features include roof clearance lights, 18-inch wheels, 5th wheel hitch kit, AM/FM radio with a CD/MP3 player, power equipment, stowable bed extender, rearview camera, steering wheel audio controls, and a remote start system. Safety is comprised of standard front airbags, standard curtain airbags, traction control, advanced stability control, trailer sway control, hill start assist, hill descent control, electronic locking rear differential, anti-lock braking (ABS), and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS). The F-250 Super Duty is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

EUGENE, Ore. – Senior Brian Atkinson concluded his career as a member of Duke's track and field team in spectacular fashion Wednesday, garnering Second Team All-America honors after placing 14th overall in the final of the 10,000 on the opening day of competition at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Ore.
In addition to garnering All-America honors, Atkinson placed first out of the four ACC competitors in the contest, crossing the line in 29:48.11. He also finished fourth out of the 12 East region participants.
"[Brian] ran smart, he ran tough, and he got it done," said Duke's Director of Track & Field Norm Ogilvie. "It worked out, and he definitely made it with room to spare. It was just an outstanding race for him. I'm really proud of him, and you just have to feel great for him to know how much better he did against the guys from the East."
In front of 9,165 spectators at historic Hayward Field, Atkinson hoped to follow a similar strategy to that of his preliminary round race, positioning himself toward the front of the field, staying connected with the pack, holding a steady pace, and ultimately maintaining a cushion that would allow him to remain in contention for a top-16 finish (the All-America requirement).
With a pack of four runners pulling away from the rest of the field by the first mile, 12 positions remained for those hoping to earn All-America honors. Rather than attempt to go with the leaders, Atkinson placed himself solidly in the middle of the field, clocking a first mile of 4:38.84. Atkinson displayed his consistency, running a nearly identical time over the second mile, going through in 9:18.90 and sitting in 15th place. The field established an honest pace early in the race, with Atkinson passing the 5,000-meter mark in a time of 14:36, on pace for a 15-second personal record.
Although temperatures seemed a moderate 75 degrees at the start of the race, the weather played a factor in the later stages of the event as the pace slowed considerably for those in the chase packs. No stranger to uncomfortably warm conditions as a native of Melbourne Beach, Fla., Atkinson remained composed, averaging under 74 seconds per lap over the fourth mile and allowing just one lap over 74 seconds in the fifth mile. Over the second half of the race, Atkinson held his position before moving into 14th and securing his status as an All-American.
Atkinson, the third 10,000m runner in Duke history to garner All-America honors at the distance, concludes his career with a personal-best time of 29:27.85 (run at the Raleigh Relays in March), which ranks fourth on Duke's all-time list.

I was expecting the flavor of a sweet red pepper to complement a glass of wine, but the red pepper was the spicy kind. Delicious in their own right, but not subtle enough for a glass of wine. Try it instead with a beer or Marguerita. They're great!

The winter storm and icy conditions moving through the South caused teams to postpone games
The winter storm and icy conditions moving through the South caused teams to postpone games scheduled for this week, including Wednesday night's showdown between No. 8 Duke and North Carolina.
Less than two hours before the announcement, school officials had said the game would be played.
However, North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in a statement that Duke's bus could not get to the Blue Devils' Durham, N.C., campus to pick up the team for the 11-mile ride to the Tar Heels' arena in Chapel Hill.
Cunningham said the move was the "best decision to make at this time."
The game was rescheduled for Feb. 20.
Atlantic Coast Conference policy states games can go on as scheduled despite bad weather as long as the teams, game officials and operations personnel necessary to run the contest are on site.
Georgia Tech officials, like their ACC brethren in North Carolina, had said Tuesday that their game against Boston College on Wednesday would be played because the Eagles and the officials were in Atlanta.
But as the storm worsened, the game was postponed until Thursday with officials citing safety concerns.

Posted on September 12, 2012
So then, chocolate chip chutney, if we covered rubber bands on Monday, what shall we talk about today? Yes, that's right: paper clips!
Say, don't make faces like that. You had your chance to click on the picture of the big 125 exhibit, and you chose something with Book Fair content instead. Oh, your mouse slipped? Happens to me all the time. Keep looking for mouse galoshes on eBay, but apparently only Prada makes them, and those aren't wide enough for Newberry mice, which have very broad feet. Why, every time somebody spots one, they point and cry "EEEEE!"
Where were we?
Paper clips have been used as bookmarks practically since their invention. The really big advantage to paper clips as bookmarks is their ability to double as a thumb guide. A paper clip is less likely to fall out of the book than a paper bookmark, so all you really need to do is run your thumb along the edge of the pages and pull at the lump of metal. In fact, I have had books donated in which the original owner actually used a dozen or so paperclips for just that purpose, putting one at each chapter.
But paper clips can never, at least to a seller of books, be considered ideal for marking your place in the book. For one thing, they bend the pages. This is true of most thick bookmarks, especially the metal ones. But the design of the paper clip makes it ideal for bending the page in a very small area, and very deeply. This creates a groove which nothing can remove.
Further, given time, they rust. These new stainless ones even seem to rust, or tarnish anyhow, given time. And rust does a lot of good on a page. It glues the paperclip in place. It marks the page with red marks, so that even if you do remove the paper clip, the mark remains forever. And in many cases it makes the page more brittle, so that if you remove the paper clip, sometimes that bit of page comes with it. (Post-It Notes and their imitators, do not bend the page or rust but, given time, will fix themselves so firmly to the page that they also will remove the paper when you try to pull them loose.)
The only time paper clips fail to cling forever to the page is when they have been used to attach something important—a note from the author or a check from the publisher—to the front free endpaper. Then, because I try to charge more for that little piece of paper, they let it drop free the first time a customer opens the cover.
Of course, the alternative, which I find in a lot of books from before the advent of paper clips, is a straight pin, which bends the page, rusts, AND stabs the poor, unwary Book Fair manager. And for some reason blood—even mine—is hardly a good selling point. Better to go with rust: same color, doesn't attract vampires.
NEXT: Something else on your desk with the rubber bands and paper clips.

PHILADELPHIA - With little on the line until next week, Chip Kelly didn't rest his starters until they finished whipping the Chicago Bears.
Nick Foles threw two touchdown passes and LeSean McCoy ran for two scores in the Philadelphia Eagles' 54-11 rout Sunday night of the Bears - a matchup of first-place teams with opposite stakes.
Chicago's loss sets up two winner-take-all games for NFC division crowns next week.
The Bears (8-7) came in needing a win to clinch the NFC North and secure the No. 3 seed while Philadelphia was just trying to stay healthy. But the Eagles (9-6) played like the team trying to lock up a playoff berth.
Now the Bears must tie or beat the Packers (7-7-1) at home next week to win the North.
The Eagles (9-6) have to tie or beat the Cowboys (8-7) in Dallas next Sunday to win the NFC East and complete a worst-to-first season under their rookie coach. Once Dallas rallied to beat Washington earlier in the day, the Eagles knew they were only playing for a No. 3 seed even if they win the division.
Still, Kelly played all his guys,
Foles was 21 of 25 for 230 yards, and set a franchise record with a completion percentage of 84.0. In only nine starts, Foles has 25 TD passes and two interceptions. He was replaced by Michael Vick midway through the fourth quarter.
By that time, fans were chanting: "We want Dallas!"
McCoy, trying to become the first Eagles player to lead the NFL in rushing since Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren in 1949, ran for 133 yards and leads Kansas City's Jamaal Charles by 189 going into the last game.
Bryce Brown had 115 yards rushing, including a 65-yard TD run.
The Eagles dominated from the start.
Trent Cole sacked Jay Cutler to force a three-and-out on Chicago's first possession, and the Eagles went right down the field and scored when Foles hit Riley Cooper going across the back of the end zone on a 5-yard pass.
Bradley Fletcher then forced Devin Hester to fumble after a 36-yard kickoff return and Cary Williams recovered at the Bears 39. Foles connected with Zach Ertz for 27 yards and McCoy ran in from the 1 to make it 14-0.
The Bears went three-and-out again and Foles drove the Eagles 72 yards, tossing a 10-yard TD pass to Brent Celek on third down.
Cedric Thornton tackled Matt Forte in the end zone for a safety and a 26-3 lead in the third quarter. McCoy then ran in from the 1 to make it 33-3.
Chris Polk had a 10-yard TD run in the fourth quarter and Brandon Boykin returned an interception 54 yards for a score to make it 47-11.
Chicago's only TD came when Cutler tossed a 6-yard pass to Brandon Marshall on the final play of the third quarter.
Cole had three of Philadelphia's five sacks on Cutler, who hadn't gone down more than three times in a game previously this season.
Bears seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs returned to the lineup after missing seven games because of a fractured shoulder. He wasn't much help.
The Eagles racked up 514 yards.
The Bears had a chance to secure a division title because Green Bay lost to Pittsburgh and the New York Giants eliminated Detroit from playoff contention.
Bears report card
Passing offense: F
Jay Cutler was sacked five times, but he did accumulate 222 yards, just enough to pass Sid Luckman for No. 1 on the all-time Bears passing-yardage list. Still, he was off, and so were his receivers and his linemen.
Rushing offense: F
Matt Forte (nine carries for 29 yards) had five carries for six yards through three quarters. It wasn't all his fault; the whole offensive machine fell off track in this one.
Passing defense: F
A third-quarter tipped interception was all they could muster, and Nick Foles (21-for-25 for 230 yards) had a 131.7 passer rating.
Rushing defense: F
LeSean McCoy (18-133 with two TDs) was just part of it as Philly gashed the Bears for 283 yards on the ground.
Special teams: D
Devin Hester's early-game fumble was a huge momentum swing and the key play of the game.
Coaching: D-
Marc Trestman and staff either didn't have this team ready or allowed it to relax after losses by Detroit and Green Bay.
Overall: F
The Bears could have clinched a division title. Instead, they didn't look like they could beat a Matt Flynn-led Packers game in the do-or-die finale next Sunday. And it will probably be an Aaron Rodgers-led Packers.

What: Curling clinics
When: Sundays in January, various times
Where: Boulder Ice Rink, 1801 13th St.
Cost: $25
More info: bouldericerink.com
The granite curling stone barreled from one end of the Boulder Ice Rink to the other.
"Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!" yelled members of team "Curl Me Maybe" on Thursday night. "Wait, don't sweep! Don't sweep! Stop sweeping!"
Too late. The 25-pound curling stone crashed into the wall. The team then issued a collective groan while their competitors, The Klunkers, prepared for their next throw.
For the first winter ever, the Boulder Ice Rink is giving Boulderites the chance to learn a new icy sport -- curling. The rink will host curling clinics each Sunday in January and a five-week curling league on Thursday nights, complete with costumes, curling-themed team names and friendly competition.
Because special curling changes must be made to the ice, rink manager Cindi Indermill said there will be no drop-in play.
"We offered it this year just as a way to make the ice more inviting," Indermill said. "Sometimes people aren't enthused about ice skating or broomball, so this was something we thought might be more appealing."
Four players on the same team participate in each "end," the curling term comparable to an inning in baseball: one thrower, two sweepers and one skip. The thrower -- who actually slides the stone -- pushes off from a foothold, or "hack," with the stone in one hand, his or her legs in a deep lunge.
The two sweepers begin directing the stone by brushing vigorously in front of it. The skip stands in the "house," or the concentric circles at the other end of ice where the stone comes to rest. He or she provides instruction and strategy for which direction the stone should move and how fast or slow it should slide.
Joe Seufert, who will help teach the rink's curling clinics, learned the game with a little help from the Denver Curling Club.
A former ice hockey player, Seufert said curling required many of the same skills as chess.
"There's a lot of math and strategy," he said. "You have to anticipate your opponents' next move."
Because the rink is smaller than a regulation curling court, curlers will play with a junior stone, which weighs 25 pounds as opposed to the full-sized 42 pounds. The granite stones are stored in a special "stones only" freezer near the ice rink to maintain their temperature.
A special machine called a pebbler places individual drops of water on the ice, which creates bumps and canyons on the ice. This allows air to flow beneath the stones, which helps them slide, Seufert said.
Indermill said many employers have approached her about using curling as a teambuilding exercise because it requires collaboration, problem solving and strategy.
Kristen Salo, who directs a team of five employees at the University of Colorado's University Memorial Center, tries to plan an activity for her staff once a semester.
One morning in January, Salo and her crew tried curling.
"I don't know if we'll be professionals in the Olympics or anything, but we had fun," said Salo. "It was trying something new. We were able to laugh with one another and challenge ourselves."

Kim Saunders carried her knowledge and love of the sport of volleyball to the coaching side in her first year at the helm of the Waynesboro Maidens program. Apparently, a lot of people noticed.
Kim Saunders carried her knowledge and love of the sport of volleyball to the coaching side in her first year at the helm of the Waynesboro Maidens program.
Apparently, a lot of people noticed.
Saunders, a key player on Maiden teams in the late 1980s and early 90s that played in two state tournaments, was named Mid-Penn Capital Division Coach of the Year on Wednesday, a surprising and satisfactory end to a turn-around year for the Maidens varsity team. Saunders guided Waynesboro, picked to finish eighth in the division, to a 10-8 finish and a fourth-place finish in the Capital Division with a 9-7 record.
"Kim was a coach on the floor whenever she was playing," said former Waynesboro head Waynesboro girls volleyball head coach Jay Heefner, who led the Maidens for 20 seasons and guided them to three appearances in the state tournament, including a third-place finish in 1991. "I said before to people that when we took a time out, the first person I would ask what was happening was Kim. She just had a tremendous vision — not just on the floor, but she could also see what was coming down the pick. She could see the game from sideline to sideline and endline to endline.
"She could have been a coach right out of high school. She was just unique. I have tremendous respect for her. She was one of my favorite kids of all time. She played hard; she commanded respect from her former players."
Junior setter Megan Biesecker was picked to the First Team, while senior Dori Kozain was a Second Team selection and juniors Sierra Davies and Zoe Harris earned honorable mention.
"I was extremely humbled to get even a vote for our program," Saunders said this morning. "It says a lot. I don't take this as an award for myself. I take it as an award for our staff and our program. Their commitment and willingness to learn and put on the court what we were teaching — obviously people noticed. It gives us a lot of momentum in the offseason to carry over to next year."
The players
The Maidens lose just two seniors, including Kozain, a major reason the team won 10 matches. Kozain accumulated a team-high 161 kills and added a team-best 45 blocks during the season.
"Dori grew by leaps and bounds this year," Saunders said. "She stepped up her game, adding a variety of attacks to her arsenal. She had an amazing blocking ability. We are definitely going to miss her. She got to play in the senior all-star game the other night and she had three kills and a block."
Biesecker, playing in her first-ever season as the team's setter, didn't just take full advantage of Waynesboro's strength along the front line. She orchestrated many of the kill opportunities with precision passing.
"She was a rock," Saunders said of her rising senior setter. "She kept us in it night after night. Her love for the game, her willingness to be a team player and allow the team to be successful definitely made the difference."
Davies excelled at another specialty position as the team's libero. The junior led the team in digs with 215 despite missing some early games due to illness.
"Sierra came back very strong," Saunders said. "Her serve-receive led us. She was willing to throw her body all over the court. I look for her to continue to grow and be a true force for our defense."
Also back will be Harris, whose signature cross-court kill was a thorn in opposing team's sides during the season. Harris was a double threat, posting 149 kills on offense and 143 digs on the defensive side.
"Zoe works hard," Saunders said. "She can pull a huge kill out of her bag whenever she needed to. She did a lot for us passing and hitting. She was definitely versatile in that we could run her in the middle or the outside and she could perform for us."
The coach
Saunders was recognized over coaches of teams that finished higher than Waynesboro, that being co-champions Gettysburg and Greencastle-Antrim, and West Perry.
"First of all, it's a great honor to be recognized by your peers," said Heefner. "That, to me, is the highest honor you can receive."
Though Saunders, a 1991 WASHS graduate, didn't envision herself coaching her alma mater, when the opportunity presented itself, she applied and was hired to be the coach during the summer — giving her little time to implement her coaching philosophy and get to know the players. Her assistant coach (Mark Hollen) wasn't approved by the WASD until August.
"I definitely thought I'd be coaching in college or somewhere," said Saunders, who served as a volunteer coach for the Waynesboro middle school team last year. "It's a complete honor to follow in coach (Jay) Heefner's footsteps. He was such an influence in my playing days. He spoke at our banquet. Just to be able to begin to rebuild the legacy he left is a complete honor."

Sheriff, commissioner, team up to clean up and target illegal dumping.
Cleveland County Sheriff Joe Lester and Cleveland County District 2 Commissioner Darry Stacy are working in partnership to "Clean-up Cleveland County."
With the collaboration of the City of Norman and the City of Moore, Stacy and Lester will target illegal dump sites and littering problems in District 2.
Employees of Commissioner Stacy and Sheriff Lester will be attempting to locate, investigate and insure clean-up of illegal dump sites that are so costly to the county taxpayers.
Illegal dumping and littering are problems that require a partnership of collective governments, citizens and organizations.
Cleveland County tax payers foot the bill each year for costs associated with illegal dumping. The amount adds up to thousands of dollars. Littering and dumping pollutes land and waterways. It is also a crime.
Stacy initiated the partnership to bring teeth to the problem of dumping in the county. "Littering and illegal dumping is unacceptable and against the law," Stacy said. "We have a beautiful county and we owe to our children and future generations to keep it that way. This is an issue that affects us all."
Lester said he is excited to begin the process. "I'm so impressed with Commissioner Stacy's desire to address this problem," Lester said. "It is so nice to have another elected official willing to help us as we deal with this on-going problem. I know we will have great success in District 2."
District 2 and sheriff's employees will combine their individual duties and skills in this effort. The goal is to eliminate as many dump sites and littering issues as possible.
Sheriff employees will work to gather the necessary evidence for criminal prosecution for violators. District 2 employees will assist in the clean-up of dump site and littering in that district.
Anyone who observes someone littering or dumping illegally may call CCSO at 701-8888 or the CCSO Tips Line and report the crime.
Citizens can also contact District 2 at 366-0200. When reporting an incident, please include the location, time and date, description of the violator and vehicle if possible.

It's not high blood sugar, heart disease, or stroke that most often puts people with diabetes in the hospital. It's their feet.
"Foot wounds are the most common diabetes-related cause for hospitalization," says David G. Armstrong, D.P.M., Ph.D., a podiatric surgeon in Chicago. Foot wounds in a person with diabetes can also lead to amputation, he says.
"Fortunately, people with this disease often can prevent these life-threatening wounds with daily foot examinations," Dr. Armstrong says.
Here's what you can do to help prevent foot problems:
Take care of your diabetes. Work with your health care team to keep your blood glucose in your target range.
Look over your feet daily. Check for sores, cuts, bruises, and toenail changes. Use a mirror to look under your feet if you need to. "Call or see your health care provider if you have cuts or breaks in the skin, have an ingrown nail or if your foot changes color or shape, or becomes less sensitive," Dr. Armstrong says. "See your foot-care specialist immediately if you detect a new lesion or if your foot becomes swollen, red, or painful."
Ask your doctor about personal dermal thermometers for your feet. "These newly available devices are like glucose monitors for the feet," says Dr. Armstrong. "People can change their activity by checking their skin temperature just as they dose their insulin by checking their glucose."
Wash your feet daily. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water, and dry your feet very carefully, especially between the toes. Use talcum powder to dust your feet to further reduce moisture. If the skin is dry, use a moisturizer—but not between the toes.
Wear shoes and socks at all times. Never walk barefoot, even in your home. Wear comfortable shoes that fit well and protect your feet. Check inside your shoes before wearing them to make sure the lining is smooth, and there are no objects inside. If your doctor tells you you're at high risk, he or she may recommend a specific shoe type.
Don't smoke. Smoking can cause decreased blood flow to the feet and make wounds heal slowly. Many smokers with diabetes need amputations.
Finally, "ask your doctor to check your feet every time you go for a visit," Dr. Armstrong says. "The potential for foot problems leading to major health issues is significant. Doing everything you can to prevent them is as important as monitoring your glucose."

In just two years, English singer Ed Sheeran has gone from the small stage to the big league.
The 22-year-old earned a gold album with his 2011 debut, "+," and his Top 20 hit, "The A Team," was nominated for song of the year at the Grammy Awards, but his biggest achievement comes this week: He is performing three shows at the famed Madison Square Garden.
Sheeran is part of a breed of newer and lesser known acts who are able to sell out top venues, even if they aren't pushing millions and millions of albums and singles like Eminem and Justin Timberlake, or dominating with chart-topping tracks and radio airplay like Katy Perry or Rihanna.
Pop-rock band Passion Pit, who released their sophomore album last year, sold out MSG earlier this year, and the Weeknd, the eerie, reclusive R&B singer, performed two sold-out nights at Radio City Music Hall to a feverish crowd this month. Gotye, though he had last year's biggest hit with "Somebody That I Used to Know" and a gold album, performed at the 9,000-seat Radio City after playing NYC's Terminal 5, with a third of that capacity, six months prior. And the English indie band the xx, critically acclaimed but fairly unknown outside of the music industry, performed two shows at Radio City last month.
"We played the Mercury Lounge like a year and a half ago, and to go from like a 150-capacity venue to, I think it's 18,000 at MSG — it's cool," said Sheeran, who will play his first sold-out MSG on Tuesday.
For that he might thank his fans on Twitter — where Sheeran has more than 8 million followers — and the support of Taylor Swift and One Direction, whom he opened for and collaborated with.
"With social media playing an increasing role, it's possible for an artist to go from totally unknown to significant enough popularity to sell an arena like Madison Square Garden," said Gary Bongiovanni, the president and editor-in-chief of concert trade magazine Pollstar.
Omar Al-Joulani, Live Nation's vice president of touring, echoed Bongiovanni's theory.
"(It) definitely feels like artists can have a quicker run to selling out more venues mostly because it's easier to get noticed these days because you can go straight to your fan base," he said. "Whether they have radio or not, (these artists) have very big online followings."
Al-Joulani added that while other emerging acts have sold top venues in the past, "it just seems to be happening more often now."
Imagine Dragons and fun. — whose mainstream breakthroughs are recent though they both formed in 2008 — have gone from small theaters to top-billing venues in a year, aided by back-to-back hits and platinum-selling albums. Imagine Dragons, whose hits include "Radioactive" and "It's Time," will launch an arena tour in February that includes dates at the American Airlines Center in Texas and the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J.
Moderate ticket prices are another reason these musicians are able to sell out venues: Imagine Dragon's tickets won't price higher than $70 — and that includes service and facility fees. In comparison, upcoming shows for Justin Timberlake and Cher at the IZOD can go as high as $224 and $174, respectively.
"The hardest thing to do as an artist ... is when you try to sell an appreciable number of more tickets than you have in the past while taking the ticket price to a new level," said Al-Joulani, who books shows for Imagine Dragons, Jay-Z and Swedish House Mafia. "What we've done with Imagine Dragons is we've upped the venue size, but we haven't gone crazy with the ticket price."
Sheeran, who is working on his sophomore album, will also perform at MSG on Friday and Nov. 7; the most expensive ticket is $64.10 with fees. While the singer-songwriter is charting his own success, others have given him a boost: He was the opening act on the North American leg of Swift's massive "Red" tour and collaborated with the country-pop star on the recent Top 40 hit, "Everything Has Changed." Sheeran also co-wrote songs on both of One Direction's albums and has hit the road with the boy band.
"In (Sheeran's) case, for everyone — the promoter, manager, his agent — it was a gut instinct. The time was right," said Melissa Ormond, the entertainment president at the Madison Square Garden Company, which owns MSG and Radio City.
While these budding acts have the opportunity to play large venues, Bongiovanni advises caution.
"They can demonstrate the commercial potential and sell tickets, but can they do a show that will leave people satisfied and wanting more?" he said. "You get offered a lot of money to play these big halls and it really takes someone with good management and good instincts to say, 'I'm not ready at this point.'"
Imagine Dragons' manager said he and the band have had conversations about where and when to play particular venues and territories.
"We're not trying to play the biggest rooms we can and we wouldn't do it because we know we can sell it out. It's not about trying to make as much money as we can," said Mac Reynolds. "It's about looking at the trajectory and where we're at and what feels appropriate."

Seven student-athletes from the Big 12 have been named to the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-District ® Men's and Women's At-Large Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). These teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
West Virginia and Oklahoma led all league schools with two selections from conference-sponsored sports. WVU senior swimmer Jenelle Zee and sophomore swimmer David Palley both boasted 4.00 GPAs. Zee is a Long Valley, N.J.-native majoring in Pre-Criminology while Palley, a Civil Engineering major, hails from Walnut Creek, Calif. From Oklahoma, sophomore gymnast Rebecca Clark (3.76 GPA in Accounting) and Big 12 Rower of the Year Nicole Furmanek (3.93 GPA in Elementary Education) were both honored.
Kansas State women's tennis junior Petra Niedermayerova, TCU men's golfer Eli Cole, and Texas Tech women's golfer Kim Kaufman were also named to the at-large teams.
While the Big 12 does not sponsor Rifle, WVU also had two student-athletes from the sport selected to the academic teams--senior Petra Zublasing and junior Thomas Kyanko.
The Academic All-District ® teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. First-team Academic All-District ® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America teams programs since 2011.

FRANKLIN - In the 1800's, New England wool "hook" rugs functioned as carpets during the summer and became blankets atop beds in the winter.
But today, Franklin's Laura Salamy's creates hook rugs that are pieces of art and displayed on walls, floors and tables.
Her colorful custom-made pieces range from bright floral designs that include sunflowers and poppies, a gecko, geometric designs, a multi-colored sun, birds and a fluffy white snowman.
Salamy started the craft nearly 10 years ago after taking a community education class at Franklin High School. And yes, Salamy said, artists who make hook rugs are called hookers.
"For some reason I took to it," she said. "I really liked it. It was like I was coloring with wool."
In traditional hook rugs, wool is used. But because of the expense and the lack of availability, Salamy said she started to experiment with other fabrics for her creations.
She has used everything from cotton T-shirts, jeans and novelty yarns.
"I used an old bathing suit in one of my rugs," Salamy said.
Her inspiration comes from inside her head, drawings done by children or a client's specific request. She has never used a pattern, but rather her own imagination and artistic talents, she said.
Once an idea is formulated, Salamy draws the design onto a piece of fabric backing.
"The rugs used to be done on burlap, but that breaks down with humidity," she said.
After her design has been traced out, she gets her fabric strips ready and creates a kit specific for each piece of art.
Then it's time to start hooking.
"I use a hook that looks like a crochet hook, push through the fabric backing and pull the loop of fabric up through the backing. The holes in the backing make it easy, you can do it straight, zig zag and create the different textures you want," Salamy said.
The last part requires some sewing. A thin piece of tape is sewed onto the perimeter to ensure that the rug holds its form.
"A rectangle will stay a rectangle," Salamy said.
It's an art form, she said, that anyone from a child to senior can do.
"I met an 86-year-old woman at a show who was going blind but still was hooking," she said. "I've also watched kids do it."
For Salamy, when working on a project, she is in her Zen place. She works on her rugs at night after she's been working all day as director at the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry in Bellingham. Once day turns into night, she turns on her favorite television show and gets to work.
"I pretty much do it every day, unless my neck hurts," she said.
It takes her approximately four weeks to complete a 20-inch by 30-inch piece.
She has also started her own business, "High on Hooking." Salamy takes custom orders and is willing to take on any size project
After completing a project, she said it isn't hard to part with the piece because she's already thinking about what she's going to make next.
"I can always remake one if I really like it," she said.
Next year, after Salamy's daughter Elisabeth graduates from high school, she and her husband Tom, and dog Tynan, will pack up and move to New Mexico.
There, Salamy said she hopes to carry on the New England tradition of hooking and teach classes to the locals.
For those in the area interested in learning the craft or checking out Salamy's handiwork, they may contact Salamy through her Facebook page at, https://www.facebook.com/HighOnHooking or visit the Association of Hooking Artists (ATHA) at www.atharugs.com.

AYER -- Selectmen stripped colleague Frank Maxant of his vice-chairman title, 4-1 Tuesday night, saying he violated board policy by using his title in a complaint to the Attorney General's Office.
The board had scheduled an executive session to discuss "pending litigation," which is legal under the state's Open Meeting Law. Maxant, in an email to colleagues Friday, said there was no lawsuit pending, and therefore Tuesday's session would be illegal.
Maxant accused selectmen of violating the meeting law last year, because they met with Building Inspector Gabe Vellante about several properties that had been targeted for code enforcement.
On Friday, Maxant emailed Town Administrator Robert Pontbriand, his landlord Hugh Ernisse (targeted by the board for enforcement actions on his two Ayer properties), and Nashoba Publishing, complaining about the proposed meeting and accusing members of "elder abuse." He followed that on Sunday with an email to the attorney general, asking if the office could "head this off at the pass?"
"My colleagues' intent is to scheme ways to deny these targets the quiet enjoyment of their properties. The motivation is some neighbors' opinions about the properties' appearance," said Maxant. "The new target is a farmer in his 70s operating a pig farm alone, with a new housing development on the hillside above.
Ernisse's initial email angered Selectman Christopher Hillman, who wrote: "It only seems to be a problem when we are talking about your boyfriend Ernisse."
Hillman then accused Maxant of violating executive-session rules by sharing the town attorney's interpretation of a new sex-offender residency law, which had only been discussed in closed session. Hillman alleged Maxant has a conflict of interest in sitting in on matters relating to Ernisse.
"Who do you represent again?" he wrote.
Hillman told Maxant to invite property owners for Tuesday's board meeting "and tell them to bring their A game because you have not even come close to seeing mine!"
Due to a reported scheduling conflict with town counsel, selectmen did not discuss "litigation strategy."
In open session, Fay suggested that Maxant's use of his official signature in the attorney general email violated the board's policy, stating that a member "should not make any representation to anyone on behalf of the board unless and until the board takes an official position on the matter."
Fay also alleged Maxant violated a separate selectmen's policy to "uphold the intent of executive session and respect the privileged communication that exists in executive session." In doing so, Fay alleged Maxant has "shown himself to be unworthy of the position of vice chairman."
Maxant maintained he could use the signature, and argued it is clear that he was complaining to the state as an individual.
Selectman Pauline Conley said she was "offended" by Maxant's allegation that the board intended to meet behind closed doors and victimize senior citizen property owners.
Board members voted to remove Maxant as vice chairmen, with Maxant dissenting. Fay sought a nomination for a new vice chair. Maxant nominated Conley, who was approved unanimously.

Jax Worriors Build:
This whole idea started when I realized I had one part for this build. AGDJon sold a few of his parts from his collection and it included a prototype E-mag Battery mount. I quickly snatched it up, but I really didn't have a purpose for it. Fast forward a few months and I recieve a milled e-mag frame with the battery terminal area milled out. What would I do with a battery mount and a milled gripframe? (I think it was a sign from the AGD gods ....)
My idea was to "recreate" the modified e-mags AGD made for the Jax Worriors 10+ years ago. When I think of AGD paintball teams, the first one that comes to mind is the Jax Worriors. I think it would be a really fun project to base my build off of such a historical AGD paintball team. Lately, I have been on a kick with trying to recreate a few of my dream guns from back in the day. I slowly started to gather the rest of the parts and I think I'm pretty close to sending it out for a few modifications and anodizing.
There were a few different types of modified e-mags, but I decided to base my build off of the "no-rise" version.
Parts List:
-Vert RT Barrel
-Vert Dye BoomStick*
-Vert S/S No Rise Body
-RT Sight Rail
-Emag Valve - (Thinking about Laser Engraving it)
-ULE E-mag Rail with ULE Wings.
-John Sosta GripFrame
-AGDJohn Prototype Battery Holder
-(2) Viewloader Foregrips*
-Drop Forward
-CCM Fitting
*The Jax Worriors were sponsored by both Dye and Viewloader.
Color: Gloss Black to Olive Green with a green argo trigger. (Caustic Customs)
Mods: Luke Custom Milling for the foregrip, and ULE milling in the gripframe. (Luke's Custom)
Special Parts: S/S Body sandblasted with a Viking pattern (Similar to Celtic Knots) (Caustic Customs)
Special Parts: SPD Custom Designed Jax Worriors E-mag grips with the logo of the team (Stinger Paintball Design)

|Moral :
|This episode features a nit common to all stories involving an invisible character - how can Geordi see while he is invisible? Even assuming that the alien transmogrification of his body has repaired his eyes, light must hit your retina and be absorbed in order to allow your brain to percieve things around you. If you are invisible, then the light is passing around or through your retina so you should be blind. Also, if Geordi is invisible to the ship's internal sensor systems then how come the transporter system can lock onto him in order to beam him down?
|Great Moment :
|Geordi's analysis of the shadow on the holodeck is a creepy and highly effective scene, which even makes sense from a technical point of view.
|Body Count :
|One, Lieutenant Hickman, when his shuttle burns up in the atmosphere. Others just turn into a lizard permanently.

|Having gained a first name, Alyssa, a few episodes ago, Crusher's nurse gains the surname Ogawa in this episode.
Mona Grudt, who plays Ensign Graham in this episode, is a Norwegian actress and model who won the 1990 Miss Universe pageant, the first Norwegian winner.
