Man wanted for violating probation for vehicular homicide
Sheriff's investigators in Ohio believe a man wanted for violating his probation on a vehicle manslaughter conviction may be in the Taft area.
Paul White, 24, was convicted in 2008 of aggravated vehicular homicide in Perry County, Ohio and sentenced to a 3-year state prison term.
White will be featured in this week's Taft's Most Wanted in the weekend edition of the Taft Midway Driller.
White apparently violated his probation and Perry County authorities believe he fled to the Taft area, said Kern County Sheriff's Senior Deputy Josh Nance.
Nance said White was originally from the Taft area and has friends and family in the area, Nance said.
White is a white male standing 5-8 weighing 155 lbs with brown hair and green eyes.
Anyone with information about White should contact the Kern County Sheriff as soon as possible.

Red Sox - 400 100 002 - 7 14 0Wow. After Chone Figgins tripled off Justin Masterson to begin the bottom of the eighth and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly off Jonathan Papelbon, Boston stormed back against Francisco Rodriguez in the top of the ninth.
Angels - 100 110 110 - 5 12 2
David Ortiz pounded Frod's first pitch to deep right. Reggie Willits leapt at the wall, the ball hit in, and then fell out of, his glove, and Flo had a stand-up double. Coco Crisp went in to run before Kevin Youkilis grounded to third. With J.D. Drew at the plate, Frod tried to pick Crisp off second. His throw to Willie Aybar was in plenty of time, but Aybar neglected to tag the Crisp and Ococ slid back in between the shortstop's legs. Drew swung and missed on two pitches and worked the count to 2-2 before crushing a home run just to the right of dead center.
Drew: "I squared it up really nice."
It broke the tie and gave the Red Sox a 7-5 lead. Frod continued to melt down, allowing an infield hit to Jason Bay and a line drive single to Mark Kotsay. Jason Varitek hit into a double play to end the inning.
Bot had come in after Figgins's triple and had retired three straight Angels in the eighth on only seven pitches. Torii Hunter began LA's last gasp with a hard bunt towards third. Youkilis sprinted in, bare-handed the ball and fired to first. One out. Pinch-hitter Gary Matthews popped a full count pitch towards the third base camera pit. Yook ran over, timed his leap, and snared the ball over the heads of the crouching photogs. Then Bot whiffed Howie Kendrick to give Boston a 2-0 lead in the series.
The ninth-inning dugout TBS shots told you everything you needed to know about this series. The Angels were in shock, staring out at the field with glassy, dead eyes. As Frod struggled to get outs in the ninth, they knew they were playing their last home game of the 2008 season. As the Red Sox rolled to their 11th straight post-season win over the Angels, they knew they were finished. (And WTF was with the announcing team of Chip Caray and Buck Martinez? Were they auditioning for jobs as LAA's Hawk Harrelson-type announcers? I watched the last 3-4 innings on mute.)
The game looked initially like a rout, as the Sox scored four times in the first. But the Angels chipped away, scoring one in the bottom of the first, on three straight singles from Mark Teixeira, Vladimir Guerrero and Hunter. Boston made it 5-1 on back-to-back doubles by Alex Cora and Jacoby Ellsbury, but the Angels got that run right back. Juan Rivera walked to start the fourth and scored on Chone Figgins's singled to left.
Matsuzaka walked Teixeira and Vlad to begin the fifth and Hunter singled home Tex. After that, Dice bore down, striking out Rivera, getting Kendrick on a fly to center, and retiring Kendry Morales on a pop to third. But that was the night for Dice (5-8-3-3-5), who threw 108 pitches in five innings, including 61 (!) in his final two innings.
Hideki Okajima pitched a perfect sixth, but allowed hits to Teixeira and Guerrero to begin the seventh. At that point, those two guys were 8-for-8 in reaching base. Masterson came in and got three outs, but not before walking two more Angels (the first on a blown call by the home plate umpire) and forcing in LA's fourth run.
The Red Sox wasted a golden scoring chance in the sixth. With one out, Kotsay reached on Hunter's error on a fly ball right at him in center. Varitek singled, chasing Santana, and Jose Arredondo walked Cora to load the bases. Ellsbury fanned on a slider in the dirt and Dustin Pedroia (0-for-5) grounded to second. Boston also could do nothing with a couple of two-out singles from Drew and Bay in the seventh.
But in the end, Boston dined out on monkey burgers. They get to enjoy another off day on Saturday before getting back to some broom work on Sunday.
Boston 1st:
Ellsbury PF5, Pedroia K, Ortiz single, Youkilis single, Drew double (1-0), Bay home run (4-0), Kotsay single, Varitek P6.Earlier this evening, Tampa Bay beat the White Sox 6-2, to take a 2-0 lead in the other ALDS. The NL is off tonight.

Mike Lowell calls Game 2 "a monster game for them and a tremendous opportunity for us".
The Angels are facing the possibility of heading back to Boston down 0-2. The worst case scenario for the Red Sox has them tied 1-1 with Josh Beckett set to pitch on Sunday night.
Yesterday, Beckett had what Terry Francona called "a pretty aggressive side [session] ... Nothing was cut short. His fastball had some finish to it and he threw all his pitches." Depending on who you asked, he threw either 65 pitches (John Farrell) or 67 (Francona).
[T]he extension that he was able to get with his fastball, the down-and-away area to a righthanded hitter, which is always going to indicate the furthest extension from the throwing arm [was good]. There was no discomfort in the oblique. So provided that there's no concerns coming out of his exam, or a follow-up exam tomorrow, he should be on line for Sunday.So Dice now has a mohawk? I could not find a picture though.
Lowell probably will not be in the lineup tonight. Francona may rest Lowell and play Mark Kotsay (7-for-18 against Santana) at first, moving Kevin Youkilis to third. (More on Yook's great play late in Game 1.)
Mike Timlin says "there's a real possibility" he could retire after this post-season. ... Transcripts of Thursday interviews with Francona, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Mike Scioscia and Howie Kendrick.
A Boston victory tonight would set a franchise record of nine consecutive postseason victories. The MLB record is 12, set twice by the Yankees. ... In the eight wins so far, the pitching staff has a 1.88 ERA. ... A win tonight would also set a major league record for consecutive playoff victories against a single opponent (11).
Starting times for the rest of this series were announced:
Only one other game today:Game 3: Sun at Boston, 7:17 PM
Game 4: Mon at Boston, 8:37 PM
(8 PM if CWS-TBR series over)
Game 5: Wed at Anaheim, 9:37 PM
(8:37 PM if CWS-TBR series over)
White Sox (0)/Rays (1) at 6

With the announcement of the 85th annual Academy Award nominees, host Seth MacFarlane and co-presenter Emma Stone made many Oscar dreams come true this morning. But not all deserving hopefuls made the coveted list. As we try to erase the memory of MacFarlane's lame Hitler joke and enjoy Oscar week, check out some of the biggest snubs and surprises of the 2013 Academy Awards nominations.
Snub – Javier Bardem
When it comes to great performances, it's not the size of the role, but how you use it. As the villainous Raoul Silva in the latest Bond film, Skyfall, Bardem uses every precious moment of his criminally little screen time to craft a surprisingly robust character. Through a series of masterfully conceived monologues, he breathes life into the first Bond villain out for personal vendetta rather than world domination. Like Skyfall itself, Bardem's Silva was better than it had any right to be, and likely overlooked by the Academy for that reason. (-Jonathan Dekel)
Snub – Ben Affleck
After claiming two BAFTA nods just the day before, Ben Affleck was missing from Oscar's best actor race. And even though he's been in front of the camera since the days when ABC was still running after-school TV specials, the last few years have revealed that Affleck's even better behind it. (His 6 career Razzie nods not considered.) Argo might be his most accomplished project as a director, and in a best director category that snubbed several "sure things," Affleck's omission is another surprise. Going into the Oscar nominations, Affleck was already recognized for his work by the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs (for both best director and best actor), the National Board of Review. Plus, there's always the common wisdom that it's much harder to direct yourself than it seems. If there's a silver lining, at least Oscar included the film in its best picture category. (-Leah Collins)
Snub – Looper, The Hunger Games, take your pick of popcorn movies
We get it. It's the Oscars. And every year — with or without the bloated possibility of 10 best picture contenders — it's only going to be certain kind of film that will be considered. Still, in a year where a James Bond sequel was considered to be a serious contender, why not so many other "Hollywood" flicks? If Oscars were awarded for originality alone, then where was Cabin in the Woods, a horror film… No wait, sci-fi film? Let's just say it re-invented the genre and it'd have been nice to see it get a screenplay nod. Or Looper, the Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Bruce Willis time-travelling action drama, or the Hunger Games — all of which featured tighter story-telling than the other flicks that you normally see in the People's Choice Awards ghetto. (-LC)
Surprise – Bradley Cooper
It may be due to his subjective good looks, or his perhaps his academic acumen, but Bradley Cooper routinely gets less than a fair shake as an actor. So it was nice to see the Academy go out of its way to highlight Cooper's manic – in a good way – performance in Silver Linings Playbook. As the audience's flawed widower, Cooper's charming personality perfectly offset his uncomfortably flawed existence, making his performance one of the year's best. (-JD)
Snub – Michelle Williams
Last year, Williams earned her third Oscar nomination, playing Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. It was certainly deserved, but it's another movie performance that haunts us more, one she should have been recognized for this year. In Sarah Polley's Take This Waltz, which arrived in North America theatres last summer (after an initial video-on-demand release in the U.S.) Williams plays an ordinary 20-something from Toronto. She's married (to an emotionally absent Seth Rogen), a little lost in her career. And after a chance meeting with the man across the street, she begins to contemplate an affair. Compared to, say, resurrecting Hollywood's most glamorous icon, you can see why the part's a tough sell (and it's been overlooked almost entirely on the awards circuit). The film's story has its flaws, but Williams, always a skillfully subtle actress, is captivating — even as her character becomes lost in increasingly ugly decisions. (-LC)
Snub – Skyfall
Over the last 50 years we're been classically conditioned to cheer for James Bond. So when the series produced a fitting beautiful tribute to the world's most famous fictional spy, it's no surprise that fans the world over collectively willed the possibility that Skyfall may actually garner a Best Picture nod from the Academy. However 2013 was not be Bond's year, with the nominations proving to be Blofeldian in its underestimation of the vaulted franchise. (-JD)
Snub – Kathryn Bigelow/ Quentin Tarantino
As championed by the late Andrew Sarris, Auteur theory states that the success or failure of a film can be boiled down to the singular vision of its director. As two of the most striking auteurs working in Hollywood, it serves to reason that, as their films go, so too would Kathryn Bigelow and Quentin Tarantino. So when Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained were nominated for Best Picture, it left many in Hollywood scratching their heads when that their visionaries were left off the Best Director nominations. (-JD)
Snub – Marion Cotillard
There are few things Academy voters love more than body disfiguration, which is one of the many reasons (like her consistently strong performance, for example) we were surprised Marion Cotillard's turn as a killer whale trainer who loses her legs in Rust and Bone was snubbed by Oscar voters. (-JD)
Snub – The Hunger Games soundtrack
Where's Taylor Swift?! Where's the Arcade Fire?! The best original song race doesn't throw any bones to the Hunger Games soundtrack. And much as we'd have loved to flag-wave for an Arcade Fire nomination (the Montreal band wrote the sombre and militaristic Abraham's Daughter for the film), it's another snub that riles us to the point of mounting a rebellion. It's just that this particular oversight happened months ago. When the 75-song long list of best original song contenders was revealed in August, it was clear Taylor Swift's conributions to the T-Bone Burnett-produced soundtrack wouldn't be included. (Swifty will just have to wait a while longer for that EGOT.) Though her current smash album, Red, is something of a pop re-invention, Swift's Hunger Games compositions — Safe & Sound and Eyes Open — show off a more intimate performance style. But beyond that, the songs neatly capture the character of Hunger Games heroine Katniss Everdeen. Unfortunately, Swift's songs didn't even get a chance to be "culled" for Oscar because of the quirks of the Academy's rulebook. (If a song doesn't appear in the film, it can only be considered for competition if it runs as the first musical selection of the credits.) (-LC)

What: Pianist Peter Kater and Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai's first concert together in Colorado in more than a decade.
When: 8 p.m. Saturday.
Where: Chautauqua Auditorium, 900 Baseline Road, Boulder.
Cost: $25-$47.50
Peter Kater's career as a pianist started in Boulder, and this city continues to be his muse, nearly 30 years later.
There's something about the mountains and the energy of the city that ignites his fingers on the keys, he says. Since he moved back to Boulder six months ago, he's already composed 11 new songs.
"Boulder has always been a place that has inspired me to write a lot of music," Kater says. "Something about being here, it's like a need. I need to write. I need to play."
This city is where he released his first album called "Spirit" with a concert at the Chautauqua Auditorium, which launched his career, ultimately landing him seven Grammy nominations, more than 100 TV and film scores, many top-10 contemporary jazz recordings and the Environmental Leadership Award form the United Nations -- to barely scratch the surface. Kater is a multi-platinum selling pianist and composer who helped forge the genre of New Age music. You've likely heard his music while watching the Olympics and the Discovery Channel, and listened to his music while stretched out on a massage table.
Kater will honor his Boulder roots tomorrow with a show at Chautauqua -- can you say "full circle?" -- alongside renowned Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai, in the duo's first concert in the state in a decade.
We spent a recent morning with Kater in his Boulder house, while he cooked lunch for his son, and we even got Kater to tickle the ivories for us live in his living room. Here's what we talked about. Check out dailycamera.com for a video.
You started playing the piano around age 7, and word is you were a bit of "trouble" for your piano teachers, because you insisted on playing classical tunes with your own sense of melody, time and structure. What compelled you to do that? And do you have any advice for other kids who may be struggling to fit into the pre-set boundaries of music or art?
It was an innocent rebelliousness. I just didn't want to play the songs the way they were written. In classical music, that's really not cool. I went through three teachers in one year, and I thought finally I was done with it. But my mother kept bringing me to new teachers. I clicked with a teacher who taught me how to improvise, to take any song and play it in any style. That was pivotal. That gave me permission to find my style and express myself uniquely.
I would want other kids to be encouraged to express themselves the way they think is fun and interesting, while learning the foundation. You need to have a balance. You need to have your voice and you need to have the skills to express yourself.
When did you realize this was going to be your career?
I didn't really realize it until after I recorded my first album. I thought that was going to be my only album. Then the producer said, "You'd better start working on the next record." It took me by surprise.
You are considered one of the instrumental artists who spearheaded New Age music. How does a new genre of music come about? What led you to evolve music into something that had never existed before?
I think there's an organic groundswell of something that several people are feeling at the same time, supported by the community that resonates with that, who think, "Wow, that's really cool. I've never heard that before." It just builds on itself, and it has to have a name eventually.
I don't think anyone in the New Age genre likes the New Age title, and for me, I wasn't really crazy about being pigeonholed there either. I wasn't like, "I think I'll write some New Age music." I was writing my music. It's a throwaway category, where stuff goes that doesn't fit anywhere else.
What do you think made you so successful?
Perseverance, meaning I didn't have plan B.
When I moved to Boulder, I encountered a lot of talented musicians. Then all of a sudden, that guy went and took a teaching job, because he couldn't deal with the ups and downs of being an artist. And then this other guy got in trouble and lost his balance and got out of the picture. I didn't have anything else to do, so when times got hard, I stuck it through, and when times got good, I enjoyed it, and when times got hard again, I knew that times would get good again if I just stuck it out, and it kept on going.
The other thing is I was fortunate enough to find my own voice creatively. I really can't do anything but me. I had a distinct feeling and sound that people could recognize.
What have been some of your biggest challenges along the way, and what have been some of the biggest rewards?
One of the biggest struggles has been to really be myself and not be swayed by other people's opinions of what I should do or try. Sticking true to my creative muse, my creative instincts. That has been my biggest struggle -- and my biggest reward. It's the same thing.
So how do you do it, though? How do you stay true to yourself?
It's hard. You have to have a lot of trust. You have to be willing to say, "Well, this is me. Take it or leave it." And who am I pleasing? I'm doing it for myself. When I'm recording a record, when I'm giving a concert, I'm trying to enjoy myself. I'm not trying impress anyone in the audience. I'm not trying to play what they want to hear. I'm all about making myself engaged, happy, interested, involved, because I know if I'm having a good time, if I'm being true to myself, people will pick up on that.
What are some of your favorite TV and film productions you were involved with?
A 13-hour series for the Discovery Channel called "How the West was Lost." It was really intense because it was so dramatic, but it was really easy to write music for it because the subject was so moving.
How do you write a score for a show? What is the process?
They give me the almost completed footage and basic notes, what they're looking for, where. "We need something that conveys the intensity of the battle." So I watch it, and I'm usually moved. I usually hear something, it just kind of comes to me. It's usually my first instinct that I follow. I try not to second-guess myself. It's one of my creative rules. You don't second-guess yourself, trust your first instinct, and never lie to your instrument.
You also have made music to complement the healing arts and therapies. How did you get involved in that?
I was always into getting bodywork and healing modalities. I was getting a massage and people were playing classical music. This was in the early '80s. And I'm lying there thinking to myself, "What does classical music written 100 to 200 years ago have to do with my life and unwinding from my life?" First of all, it's all very metered and structured. It comes from a period of time that is way different that right now; the stresses we have right now are way different than what those people were dealing with. And the music wasn't unwind music. It was societal music. Party music.
I thought, "There's a need for something here." My thought was music for the healing arts should provide a great amount of space and support, without really defining the space, without being too specific. It should create an atmosphere but not too spacey, because you don't want to get lost. It should have a thread of something to follow. And it should feel like it came from the heart, like it's a safe, nurturing space. I started recording what I would like to hear if I was lying on a massage table.
It caught on. I wasn't the only one. Other artists were thinking the same thing at the same time. My theory is creative ideas come down from the universe like raindrops, and people get hit with them at the same time, and whoever responds to it first in a creative, substantial way, they usually reap the rewards. We don't get creative ideas because they're ours. We get creative ideas because it's time.
So what role does music have in healing and wellness?
You can convey things musically that you just can't convey in words, because words are super limited. You can describe the box your feelings are in, but you can't describe feelings. If you're writing poetry, you can get closer. But with music, it bypasses the mind, it bypasses you thoughts, and it gets into places you might resist otherwise. Because words plug you into something someone else said; words are charged, positively or negatively. Whereas music really isn't.
How did you get involved with R. Carlos and how has your partnership with him help evolve your music?
I was in a period of doing contemporary jazz that my heart wasn't really in 100 percent. I did three or four albums in that genre and they were all top 10 albums, but I wasn't happy at all. I wasn't happy in that scene. This friend of mine gave me a cassette of R. Carlos', and I listened to it and thought it sounded really genuine. I started playing the piano along to it. I thought, "That sounds really cool, the piano and the flute." So I tracked him down and called him up, and we played this one song together on one of my CDs that I had played along to. We did a whole record together about a year later.
I realized playing with him was so natural and it connected me back to a part of myself that felt more genuine than the whole contemporary jazz scene. It was an invitation to really be myself on a deeper level.
What can Boulder expect from the upcoming show?
This is our first time playing together on the mainland in over 10 years. It's going to be kind of a reunion. We'll be playing songs from our records and improving new stuff.
What do you hope people get from the music?
Ultimately, a good time. I think what's unique about our music is it's really genuine. It's really authentic. We're really playing from our deepest selves. We're not doing a song and dance, not being flashy, not showing off our equipment, not high tech. We're just two guys who have been playing our instruments for decades, just really being present together, and the music we create usually has a deepening effect on people. They feel like they get in touch with a part of themselves they maybe don't access all the time.
On your website, you said you never wanted to play anything the same way twice. You said, "Being in the moment and spontaneous was and still is very important to me." How else is this reflected in your lifestyle and personality, beyond music?
I think the way I express through my music is an ideal way: it's present, it's spontaneous, it's really true to the moment, it's flowing, I don't resist things. Honestly, I'm not that way in real life. I come against myself and obstacles on the outside, I struggle sometimes. It's an ideal, and I can learn from it. If I could apply how I approach my instrument to how I approach my life and my relationships, which I do try, then there would be a lot of flow.

The Jefferson County Public Library presented its exhaustive zero-base budget last week to the county commissioners, making a case for funding that would help prevent branch closures but could deplete the system's reserves in several years.
County officials, however, scoffed at the idea of allocating a budget that is ultimately unsustainable, urging library trustees to go back to the drawing board and further reduce expenditures. Regardless, the commissioners balked at the proposed closure of the library's three smallest branches — the Conifer, Edgewater and Wheat Ridge locations — a controversial measure that could save up to $695,000 a year, in the event that the library's budget is further reduced.
The library's zero-base budget, which totals between $27,333,491 and $28,380,550, depending on whether all branches would reopen on Mondays, does not include any additional service cuts. However, the system's more than $8 million in reserve funds would have to be expended by more than $2.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
In light of the zero-base budget, a blueprint of financial needs based on a thorough review that ignores the prior year's budget, Commissioner Don Rosier questioned the library board's consideration of the closures. He suggested reducing the library's capital-improvement expenditures by half, a move that would delay and possibly increase building-repair costs in future years. But such a measure would free up enough cash to cover the costs of keeping the three branches open, he said.
"Would you rather do the capital-improvement maintenance in full … or keep libraries open? What's more important?" Rosier said. "There's costs associated with closing libraries. You have to move equipment out. You have to weather-seal."
Library staff disputed the latter assertion, pointing to the fact that the three locations are leased, not owned.
But Conifer Library supporters made their own case at the Aug. 18 library board meeting, contending that only trivial savings would result from the closure.
Only about $200,000 a year would be saved from closing the Conifer branch, an amount too slim to make a tangible dent in the overall budget, for which millions of cuts are projected, supporters said.
"The Conifer Library represents less than 1 percent of the county library budget," said Shirley Johnson, president of the Conifer Area Council and chairwoman of the Jeffco planning commission. "The Conifer Library is certainly the heart and soul of our community, and we ask that you not close it down."
The library, located in Conifer High School and acting as the school's own book collection, serves far too large a geographic area — 23 percent of the county — to be shut down, proponents of the library said. Further, Jeffco Public Schools is facing its own budget cuts, making replacement of the school's library a financial nightmare, some said.
"We all know libraries are the hub of any school; they're also the hub of our community. … Our kids access all the materials," Conifer principal Mike Musick said. "We would be devastated if we lost our library. Imagine a $1 million collection … would be gone in one day."
In the partnership with the school, the library system absorbs most the expenses. Nonetheless, students are required to use library cards and pay late fees, just as patrons do at any other branch. Thus, proponents said, students and faculty should be included in the library's patron-traffic calculation, which apparently does not account for use during the school day.
"With the school day count, Conifer is at 5 percent of Jefferson County Public Library use," Johnson said. "It's an economic and smart use of public funds. … It has been an award-winning model for over 15 years."
Further, the trips Conifer patrons would be forced to make to the Evergreen or Golden branches would be too inconvenient, some said.
"Contrary to popular belief, there are people in need in Conifer," said Karen Verdier, health services director for the Mountain Resource Center. "A lot of people in our community are looking for work, and the only access they have to computers is at our public library. … Driving 30 miles to Golden just to do job searches is very difficult for our clients."
However, the ongoing costs of keeping the libraries open exceed the one-time expenditures for capital improvements, administrative services director Paddy Correia said.
"The capital budget costs are for one year, and then boom, they're done. … The operating cost for these three facilities go on and on and on. Where do we get the money for them in 2014, in 2015?" Correia said. "The library will run out of the spend-able portion of the (reserve) fund in three years or so. Something has to change."
County Administrator Ralph Schell, who approved last year a budget that would have drained $600,000 from the library's reserve to prevent the Monday closures, agreed, at least regarding a need for change. Though the county commissioners set the library's mill levy allocation up to a maximum of 3.5 mills, the library board of trustees ultimately decides how and how much of the revenue is spent.
Even if the commissioners boosted the library's mill levy allocation, a move that could direct an additional $1.4 million into the budget, the system would nonetheless continue to deplete its reserves without cuts in expenses, Schell said.
"That would still make your spending into your reserve over $2 million," he said, noting that the increase might only delay the inevitable. "You might go under that line a little farther out."
It was on that point that the trustees debated the need for a revision of the library's requested budget — an amount based on mill-levy allocation and not the zero-base budget. The zero-base budget is a pilot program the commissioners initiated this year for the library and human services departments. By staff accounts, the pilot has involved hundreds of hours of work and has taken hours just to present to the commissioners.
Earlier this month the library submitted a budget request based on 3.425 mills, an amount substantially higher than the county's current allocation of 3.225 mills. In 2010, the county redirected money from the library's mill levy to the human services fund, a practice that may continue.
"The commissioners at this point aren't telling us their problems or any solutions. … They're nitpicking. They're playing games. And quite frankly they don't understand what we're doing with the $24 million we use to run a library," trustee T.J. Carney said at the Aug. 18 meeting, referring to the library's projected revenue, not expenditures. "We were specifically prohibited from discussing mill levy and revenue sources. … It seems like a very extravagant expenditure … on a pilot project that appears to be uncomfortable for them, too."
Other trustees urged cooperation, at least to a point, taking to heart the system's obvious need for cuts.
"We need to decide how we're going to be sustainable. … Maybe we need to cut more hours; I don't know the answers," trustee Ruth Anna said. "For us to maintain a budget in which our expenses don't exceed our revenue, we really need to talk about that. … We need to be as respectful as we can with our county commissioners. But at some point, I may lose it."
Regarding the mill levy, Rosier, who noted that the zero-base budget was valuable, said in a separate interview he did not yet know if the allocation would fluctuate. The county had yet to compare the individual budgets submitted by each department, he said.
"We'll have to bring all those budgets together … and then look at the overall mill levy," Rosier said. "I can't say if it's going to stay where it is or go up or down."
And despite the proposed capital-improvements cut, suggesting expenditure reductions is the prerogative of the library board, not the commissioners, he said.
Indeed, allocations aside, the library board will decide the fate of the three smallest libraries, part of a point Carney underscored.
"The end of all this is the county telling us the amount of money that we're allowed to spend, and we're going to have to figure out how to spend it," he said.

Taft College falls to Merced
Taft College faded at the end of both halves Saturday in losing a Central Valley Conference basketball game to visiting College of the Sequoias.
The Cougars gave up a 15-point first-half lead, caught up to tie the Giants with two minutes left in the game but ran out of gas.
The score was 65-57 and dropped the Cougars to 4-6 in the conference and 9-16 overall. COS improved to 7-3 and 15-9.
"We went cold again," said head coach Tyrone Taylor, underscoring his team's inability to finish strong. "We were up 28-13, and then we just went cold. We played well in the second half but had a mental breakdown and turnover at the end."
Trailing by two (58-56) with a minute left and possession of the ball, Sequoias guard Vanessa Mancera stole the ball and raced to the other end for a lay-up. She also got fouled and made the free throw to push the lead to five points.
TC countered with a free throw but COS center Emily Fechner, who led all scorers with 18 points, got free in the paint for an easy bucket.
The Cougars were forced to foul and Mancera finished the scoring by sinking two free throws.
The Cougars got off to a fast start on Erica Evans' three-pointer and cruised to a 15-point lead after Zanoria Echols finished a 10-0 run with a short jumper.
That's when the Cougar offense went into a deep freeze.
Latique Walton's three-pointer with 7:06 left in the half ignited a 15-point Sequoias scoring spree that gave the Giants a 31-28 lead.
Echols scored with 1:13 left to close the gap to one point at the break.
TC regained the lead on another Evans three-pointer. After swapping the lead twice, the Cougars pulled into a five-point cushion (42-7) with just under 12 minutes left.
A 7-0 run returned the lead to the Giants and although it was tied five times – the last time at 56 with 2:21 left – the Giants pulled away to avoid the upset.
Echols, playing her final home game along with Schalon Baysinger, Bezait Anbesse and Shelly Gill, had perhaps her best game of the season. She led the team with 15 points, had 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
Evans finished with 13 points and two steals and Ramonique Redding 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
Anbesse scored just five points but led the team with 9 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.
Crystallyn Faletoi had 6 points, Mariyana Smith 5, Gill 4, and Baysinger 2.
The Cougars travel to Lemoore Wednesday to take on West Hills and finish the season Saturday at Fresno.

It Doesn't Get Better in Russia: Gay Teen Sent Into Rehab for Coming Out
A Russian teen was sent to a drug clinic by his "irate traditionalist" father after he told him that he was gay, the Russian newspaper Ria Novosti reported.
Ivan Kharchenko, who lives Moscow, publically came out of the closet when he turned 16 earlier this year. His father placed the teen in rehab for 12 days before friends and supporters broke him out the facility. One of his backers was the Russian human rights activist, Dmitry Aleshkovsky.
Kharchenko's classmates were not surprised by the boy's announcement, the newspaper points out, but his family was crushed. His grandmother tricked the teen into seeing a "witch" who failed to "exorcize the spirit of homosexuality" out of him.
After the bizarre attempt to make Kharchenko heterosexual his father forced the boy, allegedly against his will, to enter a drug clinic.
"I'd rather have you disabled or a vegetable than gay," the Kharchenko's father told local media.
His lawyer Violetta Volkova told the media that the formal reason for sending the teenager into rehab was alleged drug and alcohol abuse but officials could not confirm the allegations. The lawyer also said that the boy was so drugged by the clinic that he could not remember the names of some of his friends. He did manage, however, to put up a sign on his window that said, "I love you" to his boyfriend.
Aleshkovsky led the campaign to free Kharchenko and said that the sending the teen to rehab against his will could be considered kidnapping. Kharchenko is now staying with his mother who had no problem with his being gay.
Police are currently investigating how he was placed in rehab.
The incident follows a recent ruling in St. Petersburg, Russia, where a judge cleared a straight married man from being charged under the city's controversial "homosexual propaganda law."
The law fines people up to $17,000 for the "promotion of homosexuality" and "pedophilia among minors."
Two weeks ago, Sergey Kondrashov, a married heterosexual attorney, was arrested for holding a sign that said, "A dear family friend is lesbian. My wife and I love and respect her ... and her family is just as equal as ours." A judge, however, said there was a lack of evidence in protocol to charge him with the city's anti-gay law.

A three-member panel of judges today heard arguments in the city's appeal of an arbitrator's order reinstating a police officer fired after he pointed a loaded handgun at three teenagers in his neighborhood and struck two of them with the weapon while he was off-duty.
The long-running case arising from the April 2007 incident initially went to an arbitrator who ruled the dismissal of former Worcester patrolman David W. Rawlston was unwarranted.
The city then fired the police officer a second time because he did not have a required license to carry a weapon. A second arbitrator overturned that ruling as well.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme had refused to issue a gun license to the man, citing allegations that he struck the youths with his weapon as well as alleged false statements on his license application.
A Suffolk Superior Court judge upheld the first arbitration decision, leading the city to lodge an appeal with the state Appeals Court.
The three judges hearing the case today zeroed in on the question of whether the appeal falls into the narrow exceptions that allow the court to overturn an arbitrator's decision, which includes an exception for matters of "public policy." The panel took the appeal under advisement.
Tim D. Norris, a lawyer representing the city, argued that excessive force was used by the police officer in violation of the city's public policies as well as federal civil rights protections and said the officer's striking of the two youths with his gun "was not inadvertent."
He said the finding of facts by the arbitrator also concluded that because the officer did not file a police report of the incident and was off-duty, his actions were not undertaken for a valid police purpose.
But Judge Janice M. Berry noted that because it was nighttime and based on the reports from the neighbor who said the youths were in the officer's driveway, the arbitrator found that displaying his gun was "justified."
When she asked what public policy was broken, Mr. Norris said, "He violated the children's constitutional rights by converting or by creating an arrest out of the excessive force that he used."
But Judge Berry said the arbitrator was called upon "to decide what happened and whether that action should result in termination."
Judge Francis R. Fecteau told Mr. Norris that the exception to allow the court to overrule an arbitrator's decision when a public policy is at stake is a narrow one. "You are asking us to substitute our judgment that the arbitrator was incorrect," Judge Fecteau said.
While the judges discussed other cases when a police arbitration was overturned based on the public policy exception, a lawyer for the police union representing Mr. Rawlston argued that in those cases much more egregious actions by the police officer were involved .
"It seems to me the problem is that the case law on arbitration is very difficult to overcome," Judge Berry said to Mr. Norris. She said it might be different if the officer went outside his house "in a vacuum" and pointed his gun at three youths.
"This wasn't just three kids walking down the street," she said.
"This is not that far from three kids walking down the street," Mr. Norris responded.
Peter J. Perroni, a lawyer representing the New England Police Benevolent Association on behalf of Mr. Rawlston, told the judges they would have to ignore the findings of the arbitrator to rule in favor of the city.
"The only way you get there is by the expedience of ignoring the findings of the arbitrator," Mr. Perroni said. He argued Mr. Rawlston's actions "were not egregious at all" and that "the arbitrator analyzed every single piece of this and made the decision. He said I reject the city's repeated indication to paint Officer Rawlston as somehow undeserving of a badge."
The former patrolman has filed a lawsuit in Worcester Superior Court seeking $2 million in damages, alleging interference with his employment contract, violation of his civil rights, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional stress.
The Police Department initially fired Mr. Rawlston in 2008, saying he violated regulations by being untruthful and allegedly committed four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The Police Department also cited conduct unbecoming an officer, incompetence, careless use of a weapon and insubordination.
The first arbitrator in the case ruled in 2009 that the boys were not credible and that the city had not proved its allegations. He ordered Mr. Rawlston be reinstated with back pay.
Mr. Rawlston is now working for the state Department of Correction as a correction officer.

Over the spring break week in March, seven students from Lawrence Technological University participated in the Alternative Spring Break program and went to New Orleans to volunteer at several organizations serving the community.
Alternative Spring Break is a student-run organization that engages students and raises awareness about the issues our communities face across the United States. It is also a student organization that is dedicated to breaking people out of their shells and developing leadership skills.
The students were Elton Tate, Jordan Dedene, Asia Dobbins, Jiali Xu, Leslie Wang, Cheng Zhang, and myself, the president of the LTU student chapter.
We all came together for one purpose, and that was to serve the community. Our motivation stemmed from the knowledge of the struggle here in Michigan and a desire to not only improve Michigan, but the world. When we went to New Orleans we got a chance to help organizations that truly needed the help.
For our first day we volunteered at Arc of Greater New Orleans (arcgno.org), which is committed to securing for people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to develop, function, and live to their fullest potential." We got a chance to interact with one of the individuals and he helped us with separating the beads that are part of the Mardi Gras celebration every year. They separate the beads to recycle them so that the Mardi Gras krewes do not have to make so much and add waste to the world. This gives the individuals there something to do and it gives their life purpose. By our interaction we could tell that they were passionate.
At Kipp, the New Orleans Leadership Primary School, we helped pick up the slack on office work. The kinds of things we did included putting together books, laminating papers, and helping them refill the classrooms with necessary supplies. These tasks were things that would have taken one person days to do but only took us a few hours.
We went to a community center where individuals ages 10-25 go for comfort. They told us their stories and we got a chance to interact with them and see what the director does firsthand. She really is the guiding hand for a lot of the young boys in the neighborhood – when they are doing something wrong in the community, she is the one that handles it. She's a big part of the village that grows young boys into men.
We also worked at Rescue Ranch, which is a place that recues, rehabilitates, retrains and relocates at-risk horses. While we were there we helped clean out the barn – scoop poop, lay down hay, refill water. We also got a chance to create a ditch so that when it rains water does not go into the barn. The interesting part about this place was that it was right in front of a levee. We got a chance to climb to the top and see the water.
The place where we lived for the week was Camp Restore. Our tasks as a group at Camp was to help serve breakfast Monday and help clean up after dinner Thursday night.

Hi Tom, how are you doing?
Do you have detailed pics of the Automag pump handle?
What about measures or a DWG file of it?
Unfortunately, I bought a complete kit from a crook who sent it to me without the pump handle so now it's the only part missing to get my pump mag complete. I've trying to buy a pump handle alone or another kit but just can't find it so I decided to try to manufacture a pump handle myself.
Do you think you could help me?
If you can, my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks a lot,
Why can't you customize the Pro Classic with X-bolt/intelliframe/ult?
You can. Email me at email@example.com
Email me for low prices on ALL AGD Products and more. firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks, email sent.
where can i get a rail?

TRAINING: A day of training for me is a fight gone bad for anyone else
When and why did you start training for fighting? I fought my way out of the womb. I have a twin sister who is 15 seconds older than me and we were throwing blows to get outta my momma's stomach first! I fight to get my daughter back…bottom line.
What ranks and titles have you held? Xplode fight series middleweight champion, King of the Cage superfight champion, Gladiator Challenge light heavyweight champion, Gladiator Challenge middleweight champion, Cajun Fighting Championships middleweight champion, Neutral Grounds absolute champion, international fighting and boxing league middleweight champion. Numerous amateur boxing and BJJ tournament championships, as well as trained in BJJ for 15 years, and a brown belt for last seven years under Bob Bass (1st American black belt under the Machados, 1995 world champion).
Do you have any heroes? My mother and father, my daughter, Bruce Lee (lee jun fan), ALI, Mike Tyson, Eddie Bravo, Chuck Norris, William Wallace, Winston Churchill, FDR, Robert Frost.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? Fighting in the UFC defines my life. I have fought competitively for over 17 years and this is my life's ambition. I will not let the greatest opportunity of my life slip through my fingers. This is my time.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes, I went to college, but due to the birth of my daughter I could not finish my degree completely. Since then, I went to the school of hard knocks and I will get my degree when I retire.
What was your job before you started fighting? I was working as a trainer, construction worker, in vitamin shops and a music store, data entry analyst, salesman for nutrition items, front desk at gyms, furniture store, basically anything part-time because I've fought professionally since I was 17.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? 25-0 MMA, 163 amateur boxing and boxing smokers, 18 amateur Muay Thai fights, tons of wrestling tournaments and BJJ tournaments, too much to mention ...I'm just too experienced, like Jimi Hendrix, ha,ha,ha.
Favorite grappling technique: Too many to mention, but my personal favorite would be a technique I call the torture chamber or the tricep destroyer, maybe the Heisman crank. I got a lot of my own stuff that's effective and amazing. I'm super innovative and creative and I utilize the techniques I create based on proven and tested methods, but I try to push the envelope of originality while keeping my techniques viable and high percentage.
Favorite Striking technique: Any progressive, indirect attack, attack by drawing, single direct attack, attack by counter or combination, but mostly the blitz attack. (If you know what this all is, you know JKD and how to fight well).

Out Facebook Co-Founder Takes Issue With Chris Christie's Gay Marriage Stance
Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook and the publisher and editor-in-chief of The New Republic, has voiced his disapproval of the social media website's CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his support for New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie, ABC News reports.
Hughes, who married marriage equality crusader Sean Eldridge last June, said he found Christie's stance on marriage equality "just really personally frustrating."
"I, for one, have a lot of questions about Chris Christie, particularly because less than a year ago he vetoed a marriage equality bill in the New Jersey State Legislature," said Hughes. "I mean, there are tens of thousands of couples in New Jersey that can't share their love and be recognized under that law because of that decision. I'm not a single issue voter, and I think most people aren't either, but for me personally, it would raise serious concerns about supporting someone like him."
At 29, Hughes is the nation's youngest self-made billionaire. He bought the venerable liberal magazine The New Republic for the purpose of remaking the publication, which launched the career of Andrew Sullivan, as a mouthpiece for social causes to a new generation of left-leaning activists.
On Feb. 17, 2012, Christie vetoed a bill that would have legalized same-sex marriage in New Jersey. Currently, the state allows gay couples to enter into civil unions, which was legalized in 2007.
Hughes' remarks come just weeks before Christie is scheduled to attend a fundraiser hosted by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, at their home in Palo Alto, Calif. This will be the first out-of-state trip the conservative makes in order to raise money for his re-election campaign. NJ.Com points out that Christie has already raised 10 times more money for the primary than his only announced Democratic rival, State Sen. Barbara Buono. Other likely opponents, such as Corey Booker, the equally mayor of Newark, New Jersey's largest city, have so far declined the challenge.
The support of Zuckerberg, the wunderkind whose meteoric success as the founder of the most popular social network in the world was the subject of a hit film, "The Social Network," is at least as important for the imprimatur of a generational zeitgeist as the money he will raise. When Zuckerberg gave an astonishing gift of $100 million to Newark's struggling school system, he immediately inserted himself as a major player in the Garden State's often-byzantine, always-fractious politics.
As Salon notes, a recent poll shows that 52 percent of voters in the Garden State support same-sex marriage while 42 percent are against it. The article suggests that Christie "has to be very careful as he approaches his re-election race. He doesn't have much margin for error when it comes to alienating swing overs," and that voters in the state "are generally fine with gay marriage."
Pundits have been long predicting a presidential run for Christie, who not only managed to win in an overwhelmingly blue state, but whose take-no-prisoners style has endeared him to voters in a state known for "Jersey Shore"-style direct confrontation (memorably self-satirized on a recent news segment on "Saturday Night Live). If he does make a run for president in 2016, the Salon writer points out that he being "known as the New Jersey governor who enacted same-sex marriage" would not go down well with GOP primary voters, who tend to veer directly to the right on social issues.

NEW YORK — In an unlikely battle of sequels, "Thor: The Dark World" bested "The Best Man Holiday" at the box office.
Disney's "Thor: The Dark World" continued its box-office reign with $38.5 million in its second week of release, according to studio estimates Sunday. Opening 15 years after the original "The Best Man," Universal's "The Best Man Holiday" opened strongly with $30.6 million.
Drawing an overwhelmingly female and African-American audience, "The Best Man Holiday" was a surprise challenger for the mighty "Thor." The R-rated romantic comedy, with an ensemble cast including Morris Chestnut and Taye Diggs, debuted with more than three times the box office of 1999's "The Best Man." That film opened with $9 million.
Marvel's Norse superhero, however, has been hammering audiences around the globe. "Thor: The Dark World" made $52.5 million internationally over the weekend, bringing its worldwide total to $479.8 million. With Chris Hemsworth as the title character and Tom Hiddleston as the popular villain Loki, the Thor franchise has proven to be one of Marvel's most successful.
Just as "Thor" approached the half-billion mark, Warner Bros.' space adventure "Gravity" crossed it in its seventh week of release.
"The Best Man Holiday" was the only new wide-release opening over the weekend, as the marketplace clears out for the release of "Hunger Games: Catching Fire." In limited release, Alexander Payne's black-and-white Midwest road trip "Nebraska" opened in four locations with a strong $35,000 per theater average for Paramount Pictures.
Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" was originally slated to open, but was postponed to Dec. 25 by Paramount.
Expected to be one of the year's biggest debuts, Lionsgate's "Catching Fire" will abruptly close the box-office window for "Thor" next weekend. "Catching Fire" opened in Brazil over the weekend, earning $6.3 million.

Nebraska Heads East for Withrow Open
No. 7 Nebraska at Roger Withrow Open
Date: Saturday, Jan. 26 - Sunday, Jan. 27
Start Time: 8 a.m. CST
Teams Competing: Nebraska, Memphis, Ohio State, Tennessee-Martin, Columbus State, UTEP, Alabama-Birmingham
Host (Location): Murray State (Murray, Ky.)
Venue: Pat Spurgin Rifle Range
The No. 7 Nebraska rifle team will travel east this weekend to take part in the Roger Withrow Open, hosted by the Murray State Racers. The invitational began last weekend on Jan. 19 and will conclude on Jan. 26-27 with competition between seven teams. Competition is slated to begin at 8 a.m. CST both days. This year will mark Nebraska's second season competing in the Withrow Open; last year, the Huskers finished second out of eight teams.
Nebraska (8-5, 2-2 GARC) heads into the invitational looking to replicate last weekend's efforts against West Virginia, in which the Huskers fired a season-best 4,661. Teams participating in this weekend's open include NU, Memphis, Ohio State, Tennessee-Martin, Columbus State, UTEP and UAB. The match will also serve as Nebraska's dual match with Memphis in Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) competition.
Huskers Fire Season-Best Against WVU
Powered by a season-high air rifle score (2,352), the Nebraska rifle team shot its best score of the season at 4,661 last weekend against top-ranked West Virginia. Despite three career-best performances by NU air rifle competitors, WVU topped the Huskers with a 4,689 at the Mountaineer Rifle Range.
"I am so proud of the performance of this team," Head Coach Stacy Underwood said. "This sport is a game of millimeters and eventually the small improvements day-by-day yield high performances at just the right moment."
The Huskers shot above their season average in smallbore, finishing with a 2,303 against West Virginia. Senior Janine Dutton led the Huskers, firing a 580 on the morning. Following smallbore, the Mountaineers led Nebraska by a score of 2,324-2,303.
Nebraska exploded on the air rifle range, firing over ten points over their season average at 2,352. NU was paced again by seniors Dutton and Katelyn Woltersdorf, who earned identical marks of 591. Woltersdorf's effort was a career-high and key to NU's performance. Kelsey Hansen added a career-best 589 for the Big Red as well.
The Mountaineers picked up a 2,365 on the air rifle range, sealing their victory at 4,689-4,661. Nebraska's season-best team performance will be key in bolstering the Huskers' chances of qualifying for their first NCAA Championship since 2010.
Surveying the Withrow Open Field
The Huskers will face a total of six teams in this weekend's competition: Memphis, Ohio State, Tennessee-Martin, Columbus State, UTEP and UAB. NU previously saw Ohio State and UTEP in an invitational at OSU this season, holding a 3-0 total record against the two teams.
Six of the seven teams participating in the second portion of the invitational this weekend are ranking in the Collegiate Rifle Coaches' Association Top 20 this week, with seventh-ranked Nebraska and No. 9 Memphis leading the way. Other ranked teams include No. 15 Ohio State, No. 16 Tennessee-Martin, No. 18 Columbus State and No. 20 UTEP.
With GARC Championship competition on the horizon, Nebraska's participation in the Withrow Open will also count as a dual match with GARC member Memphis.
Nebraska Takes Aim at NCAA Championship Berth
With an 8-5 record and a No. 7 ranking nationally, the Nebraska rifle team is in strong position to qualify for their first NCAA Championship since 2010. Under the leadership of first-year head coach Stacy Underwood, the Huskers own a season average of 4,640.8 and a top-three score average of 4,648.7, placing them in the top eight nationally. Following a season-best 4,661 against West Virginia last week, Nebraska will continue to attempt to boost its three-score average with its final two regular season appearances in January and February.
NCAA Championship team berths are determined in a two-step process. The NCAA considers the three highest regular season combined scores with no more than one match at a given site. The average of those three scores is then added to the results of the team's performance at its NCAA Qualifying match. That number determines the teams that qualify for the championships, with the top eight squads earning a bid to shoot in Columbus, Ohio in March.
Up Next for the Huskers
The Huskers will close regular-season action in two weeks, hosting Army in Lincoln for their final match before the postseason. The Huskers and No. 5 Army will square off at the NU Rifle Range on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 8 a.m. CST. Fans unable to attend the match are invited to follow free live stats on Huskers.com.
Beginning on Feb. 17, the Big Red will open postseason action with competition at their NCAA Qualifier in Murray, Ky. NU's performance there, coupled with their three-score qualifying average, will determine whether the team will make an appearance at the NCAA Championships. NU finished third at their 2012 NCAA Qualifier, firing a 4,596 at the Alaska-Fairbanks Rifle Range.
NU will journey to Oxford, Miss. the following weekend for the GARC Championships on Feb. 22-23. NU has a breakout performance at the 2012 conference championship, posting a 4,658 to take third place behind West Virginia and Kentucky. The Huskers will try to achieve a similar result this season, squaring off against West Virginia, Kentucky, Army, Ole Miss, Memphis and NC State at the championship.
The season will close out at the NCAA Championships, held this season in Columbus, Ohio on March 8-9. Team selections will be announced on Feb. 20, with the nation's top eight squads earning bids to teh championship. The NCAA will fill out the field on Feb. 21, announcing individual qualifiers up to a total of 48 competitors (including shooters from qualifying teams).
Nebraska Up to No. 7 in CRCA Rankings
The Huskers jumped one spot to No. 7 in the latest CRCA rankings after firing a season-high 4,661 las tweekend. The rankings, which are compiled based on the top-three score average of each team, saw no movement in the top five nationally. West Virginia came in at No. 1, followed by TCU at No. 2 and Kentucky in the No. 3 position. Alaska-Fairbanks and Army rounded out the top five, coming in at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. Other GARC-member teams appearing in the rankings includ No. 10 Memphis, No. 11 Mississippi and No. 14 NC State.
Freshmen Make Strides
With the regular season drawing to a close, the freshmen on the Nebraska rifle team have made strides in their first year with the Big Red. Alexandrea Lorentz, Marissa Major, Denise Martin and Magdalena Mical have all made improvements in the first part of their season and have competed for spots in the NU lineup.
Lorentz has shown her capability as an individual competitor in NU's meets this season, holding the seventh-highest average in smallbore at 567.8. A competitor from West Anchorage High School and the Borealis Bullseyes, Lorentz contributed to team finishes of second in 2010 and fifth in 2012 at the Junior Olympics in the Precision Team Championship.
Arriving at Nebraska from the Arvada Rifle and Pistol Club in Arvada, Colo., Major has continued to adjust to the competition level of collegiate rifle. She shot her best score of the season against Air Force on Nov. 17, firing a 578 in air rifle en route to a combined score of 1,145. Major finished first in the NRA Junior Three-Position Air Rifle Precision competition before joining Nebraska.
Martin has been a crucial part of Nebraska's declared competitive team, earning a pair of individual titles in the Huskers' upset of Alaska-Fairbanks early in the season. A three-time Washington state champion and a member of the USA Shooting team at the 2010 International Shooting Sports Federation Junior World Championships, Martin is Nebraska's No. 2 shooter in combined scoring average (1,158.6), air rifle (584) and smallbore (574.6).
Mical had her breakthrough performance of the season on Nov. 17 against Air Force, firing her way to marks of 578 in smallbore and 589 in air rifle for a combined total of 1,167. That score was good to give Mical her first combined title as a Husker. Mical finished first in smallbore at the 2011 Florida Junior Olympic Qualifier and was a 2011 Junior Olympic National qualifier as well as the 2010 Florida Metric Prone State Champion.
Stacy Underwood Named Nebraska Rifle Coach
The Nebraska rifle program entered a new era on May 24, 2012 as the team announced former Husker shooter Stacy Underwood as its new head coach. Underwood arrived at Nebraska after spending five years as an assistant coach under Coach Harry Mullins at Kentucky. During her time at Kentucky, Underwood helped the Wildcats to a 48-8 record and five top-five NCAA finishes. UK won the 2011 NCAA Championship while adding one GARC Championship title and two GARC regular-season crowns during Underwood's tenure. Underwood also assisted in the development of 26 All-Americans while at Kentucky.
Prior to her coaching career, Underwood competed for the Nebraska rifle team from 2003 to 2007. She was a four-year letterwinner for NU and a two-time NRA All-American. Underwood was named the GARC Senior of the Year in 2007 and also earned All-GARC honors in air rifle and combined. A team captain in 2004-05, she helped the Huskers to a third-place NCAA finish that season and a fifth-place finish in 2007.
Underwood graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2007, earning a bachelor's degree in education. She added a master's degree in kinesiology and health promotion from Kentucky in 2009.

Semenzato drew a first-round meeting with 25th-seeded and 79th-ranked Tony Lupieri of Baylor, and took the first set by a 6-1 score. After Lupieri claimed the second set, 6-2, Semenzato battled back to win the decisive set, 6-4. The sophomore from Sao Paulo, Brazil improved to 5-0 on the fall after previously winning four matches to claim a singles title at the season-opening Duke Fab Four Invitational.
The 49th-ranked player in the ITA's preseason singles poll and the second-seeded player in the qualifying draw, Hemmeler dropped the first set of his match to North Carolina's Oystein Steiro, 6-3. However Hemmeler then rebounded to take the next two sets, joining Semenzato in the second round.
The second and third rounds of qualifying singles play will be contested Tuesday, in addition to the first and second rounds of qualifying doubles competition. Duke's sixth-seeded duo of redshirt junior Cale Hammond and senior Fred Saba will take the court in the second round after receiving a bye in the first round.

Recipe provided by Epic Roots
1 (1 ounce) clove shallot, finely diced
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon chopped orange zest
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
4 ounces mâche, washed
1/2 pound red or golden baby beets,
roasted and peeled, cut in half
1/4 cup chopped, toasted walnuts
This is a twist on a favorite classic winter salad in France. The roasted beets complement the earthy qualities of the mâche and the orange adds a beautiful color. Combine the shallot, juice, vinegar and zest in a small bowl. Whisk in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and set aside. Toss halved beets with 2-3 tablespoons of shallot vinaigrette. Set aside. Dress the mâche with the remaining vinaigrette. Divide the greens onto four plates, and garnish with beets and toasted walnuts.
