The Onion will be an online-only publication in Denver after next week's print edition is published, as has happened in other cities, an official with the satirical weekly newspaper said Wednesday.
The move comes after The Denver Post ended its partnership with the Onion, and said it will stop printing it after Jan. 31.
"I would recommend that any of our faithful print readers transfer their allegiance to our Web version," Onion president and chief executive Steve Hannah said. "They will not be disappointed."
The Post formed a partnership with The Onion in 2010 and managed advertising sales, printing and distribution for its Denver-Boulder office.
Hannah said The Onion's website saw dramatic growth in 2012, doubling its views from June to December.
The Post was one of several outlets that partnered with the Onion. Markets in Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Minneapolis-St. Paul saw their last print editions roll off the press in 2012.

- -- Kimbotha 16:37, 25 October 2006 (CEST)
- While collecting the components to try and start build a cross compile toolchain I found an set of nfs kernel modules and the nfs kernel daemon here (http://downloads.linkstationwiki.net/terastation/kernel_modules/). These seem to load fine on my TS (with a change to the /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server to allow rpc.mountd to start). Will try and run some tests on >2GB files when I have some on there to work with.
Software for the TeraStation
I will add small software packages as .tgz here for you to install onto the TeraStation.
As a rule, you should be able to use most Debian PowerPC packages built for woody. Use ftp to access ftp.de.debian.org (or another mirror), go to pub/debian/pool/main/ and to the directory named with the first letter of what you are looking for, there you should find a directory for the package; download a suitable version (should have "woody" and "powerpc" in the name), unpack it on a Debian box using "dpkg-deb -x package.deb name-of-temporary-dir", remove any clutter (man pages) from your temporary directory, create a tar file and copy it over to the TeraStation.
(NB I wanted to upload a .tgz but the Wiki didn't let me, saying that .tgz was not an accepted image format. --Fred 12:05, 12 Dec 2005 (CET))
A small ssh server. home page
The install package (108k) already contains the proper links to have it start on boot, and it contains two keys for the server. Maybe you want to generate your own set of keys.
Just extract the .tgz as root into the root of your TeraStation:
dmin@HD-HTGL113:~$ sudo -s Password: root@HD-HTGL113:~# cd / root@HD-HTGL113:/# tar -xzf /mnt/array1/share/dropbear.tgz
generate your own set of keys:
root@HD-HTGL113:/# rm /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key root@HD-HTGL113:/# rm /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key root@HD-HTGL113:/# dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key Will output 1024 bit rsa secret key to '/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key' Generating key, this may take a while... Public key portion is: ... root@HD-HTGL113:/# dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key Will output 1024 bit dss secret key to '/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key' Generating key, this may take a while... Public key portion is: ...
and reboot.
Can i setup publick key authentication on dropbear. If so can someone give me an example. I was able to upgrade the firmware succesffully on the Terastation Pro. I am planning to do a Public Key Authentication on my mac and use rsync for backup using ssh protocol. Any ideas? Thanks a gazillion, Naven
Yes you can: Create a key on your Linux/Unix workstation with: ssh-keygen -t rsa The public and private key will be automatically saved to the directory .ssh in your homedir.
Next: copy the text from id_rsa.pub and connect to your Terastation as root.
On your Terastation: - mkdir /root/.ssh - vi /root/.ssh/authorized_keys - paste the text you copied in the step before - save the file
Now you can connect to your Terastation by using public key authentication
Midnight Commander
For a description on how to install, see Midnight Commander.
Aaron explains how he converted his TeraStation to an ETH-disk and gained Encryption, NTFS Support, and Windows Share Management by using an additional Windows system.
It is possible to modify the TeraStation's Samba install to properly map the System, Archive, Hidden, and Read-Only attributes for files (not directories). This modification will require you have Telnet access to your TeraStation as per the modifications previously mentioned.
The general approach is this. The /etc/samba/smb.conf file contains Samba's configuration settings. To map the attributes, we need to add the following to the global section or to the individual shares:
map hidden = yes map archive = yes map system = yes create mode = 771 directory mode = 770
We also need to remove the "force create mode" and "force directory mode" entries. Unfortunately, just modifying the file is not enough because every boot, a script calls /sbin/teractrl -k which overwrites the configuration file. I noticed that most of the scripts also called /usr/local/bin/mkrsconf.pl afterwards to setup the rsync config for backup purposes, so I piggy back on that script to rewrite the Samba configuration.
Make a backup of your existing mkrsconf.pl file, and then replace the original with the new file content I have below. If you're working in Windows, you can copy the file to one of the shares under /mnt/array1, just be sure to use a UNIX compatible text editor if you don't want your newlines to get messed up. Then you can copy from there to the /usr/local/bin folder via Telnet to overwrite the original file.
The other thing you'll need to do when you're done is update all of the attributes on your existing shares since previously everything was probably created with 777 permisions, which will result in all of your files now showing up as hidden, system files. You can change the permissions from Telnet using chmod, or you can do it from a Windows Command Prompt using the attrib command.
Also of note, TeraStation generated files are created by "root", so with group permissions adjusted now you may not be able to modify attributes of files like backup logs. It's probably not necessary though as you can still read/write the content, but if you need to, you can either take care of those from Telnet by doing a chown to change the owner, or you can modify the script to also add:
force group = root force user = root
I haven't tested the latter scenario, but I understand it will force all content on disk to be owned by root and have all share access performed as root. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds. Check out this link for more information: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_03.html
Why these extremely useful features weren't on by default I don't know. Here's a link to the modified file. Be sure to rename it to mkrsconf.pl on your side!
One word of caution, for most configurations I think I'm picking up all of the required entries from the system configuration files. But, it's entirely possible you may have a configuration parameter that isn't currently read by the script. If so, please note the discrepency, let me know so I can update it, and make sure you update your copy to pick up the extra parameter if you need to use it in the mean time.
Once you've replaced the file, just type "reboot" from the Telnet prompt and when your TeraStation comes back up, you should have the ability to change file attributes. This will allow you to use real backup programs that make use of the Archive attribute for incremental backups.
--Aaron 23:58, 10 Mar 2006 (CET)
I have noticed the chown and chmod on the TS were not compiled with large file support, so if you may get something like the following if you try and change the permissions on a large file:
# chown kimbotha:hdusers ./hdc-20060305.img.bz2 chown: ./hdc-20060305.img.bz2: Value too large for defined data type
# chmod g+w ./hdc-20060305.img.bz2 chmod: ./hdc-20060305.img.bz2: Value too large for defined data type
Luckily, perl is compiled with large file support so some equivalent commands would be:
# perl -e 'chown 1002, 100, "hdc-20060305.img.bz2";'
# perl -e 'chmod 0775, "hdc-20060305.img.bz2";'

OK, [1]. This contains the kernel modules, the utilities and the startup files for kernel NFS.
Then, because the symlink that is /var gets overwritten:
cp -a /var/lib /mnt/ram/var/lib mv /var /var.old ln -s /mnt/ram/var /var
Edit /etc/exports to match your setup, then reboot or run the init files by hand:
depmod -a /etc/init.d/portmap start /etc/init.d/nfs-common start /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
Problems with NFS may arise, please see the discussion page for details.
Having just spent several days trying to get NFS working I can give a few tips. If you can write to the NFS share, but have problems reading from it (transfers stall or terastation randomly reboots) try disabling jumbo packets. If the jumbo packet size on all your machines doesn't match than UDP transfers such as NFS wreak havoc with the terastation. I now have the 2.03 firmware and user mode NFS (from debian PPC) working smoothly. An alternative solution would be to use TCP rather than UDP for NFS, but not all NFS implementations support this.
Alternative to NFS
After following in the foot steps of other NFS experimenters, I tried compiling my own NFSD module with TCP support. I was using the 2.4.20 kernel which comes with the OpenTera 2.12 firmware hack.
After finally getting the toolchains and code compiled, and after a battle with symbol names (the TS uses the "versioned" symbols suffixes), the NFSD w/ TCP had horrible performance and would stall out quickly. I had to reboot it once which threw the TS into it's nightmarish 12 hour raid consistency check.
My motivation for adding NFS support was so that I could perform rdiffbackup's to back up a "live" linux machine. I didn't want to loose file attributes and permissions through SMB/CIFS shortcomings.
Another alternative, while not the highest performance, but /will/ achieve the same results is to create an EXT2/3 or XFS binary image on the TS. Mount the location containing this image via smb, then use loopback to mount the FS image file itself.
I did the following: Set up a new folder for sharing called "foo", then telnet to the TS
cd /mnt/array1/foo dd if=/dev/zero of=foo.ext2.bin bs=1M count=100000 mke2fs foo.ext2.bin
Switch to your linux "client" machine:
mount -t smbfs -o yadda,yadda //ts/foo /mnt/foo.smb mount -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop0 /mnt/foo.smb/foo.ext2.bin /mnt/foo
do your work on /mnt/foo. When you're done:
sync umount /mnt/foo umount /mnt/foo.smb
I ran into one small problem, however. Performing dd as 'myroot' on the TS left me with incorrect owner and permission bits. Come to find out the default coreutils don't support large files. I had to install midnight commander to do the 'chmod' and 'chown' --AxMstrLP 06:55, 11 February 2007 (CET)
Missing rpcinfo? After installing nfsd_terastation.tgz "tar -C / -xzf nfsd_terastation.tgz" the initialization script "/etc/init.d/nfsd-kernel-server" references "rpcinfo" and fails to start rpc.mountd because rpcinfo is missing and the parameters for rpc.mountd are wrong.
Edit the nfsd-kernel-server file and set the option on line 22 to:
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--no-nfs-version" or RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--nfs-version"
Note line 39-40. It uses RPCMOUNTDOPTS to build an options line for rpc.mountd. Simply put on line 22 RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--nfs-version" and when you start the server, it will run "rpc.mountd --nfs-version 3".
If you get a "Permission Denied" when trying to mount an export, check to see that the reverse DNS entry resolves correctly for the server trying to mount. On the terastation, update your /etc/hosts file (optional) and create a script to reset this file every time the server boots. /etc/rc.d/init.d/networking overwrites this file.
I put in "--nfs-version 3" as I only want v3 support. I am still testing this. -- Kimbotha 10:45, 26 October 2006 (CEST)
--status: Please note that I have personally had a HUGE problem with the NFS CLIENTS when using this server. There seems to be a large degree of "retransmissions" and I/O problems as a result of communicating with the nfs server. (Run "nfsstat" on the client). If there has been any updates to the server, I'd wish they would be published! Perhaps I'll just fall back to using "smbmount" Also, this server appears to have only UDP support. NFS Clients complain with "nfs over UDP causes data corruption" (ick). -- 12:00, November 24 2006 (SGT)

Create your own Terastation cross toolchain
Note: If you want a nice structured build environment, try the ELDK instead.
- Get prepared with the appropriate files:
- Crosstool v. 0.42 Crosstool Website. Extract this to a working location.
- A kernel config file from the Linkstation Wiki site. Put this file in the crosstools directory.
- Create a powerpc-603e.dat file in the crosstools directory:
- KERNELCONFIG=`pwd`/powerpc-603e.config
- TARGET=powerpc-603e-linux-gnu
- TARGET_CFLAGS="-O -mcpu=603e"
- GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--with-cpu=603e --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=603e"
- Create a build shell script in the crosstools directory:
- #!/bin/sh
- set -ex
- TARBALLS_DIR=/tmp/downloads
- RESULT_TOP=/opt/crosstool
- export TARBALLS_DIR RESULT_TOP
- #GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++,java"
- GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++"
- export GCC_LANGUAGES
- # Really, you should do the mkdir before running this,
- # and chown /opt/crosstool to yourself so you don't need to run as root.
- # mkdir -p $RESULT_TOP
- # Build the toolchain. Takes a couple hours and a couple gigabytes.
- eval `cat powerpc-603e.dat gcc-3.3.6-glibc-2.3.2.dat` sh all.sh --notest
- echo Done.
- A couple of things to note here. The Terastation stock gcc/glibc is 3.3.1/2.3.2. The gcc crossbuild #:of 3.3.1 requires a couple of extra patches to compile and 3.3.6 compiles cleanly. It's unlikely #:that something would specifically require 3.3.1 so I used 3.3.6.
- Also, note that the java language is not built. It does not compile without error in the crossbuild. #:It's probably trivial to get it to compile, I just quit trying because I don't currently have a use #:for it. If you get it to compile, please post the patch here.
- Start the Build
- First create the /opt/crosstools directory and make sure your compiling user (hopefully not root) has #:access to write files there, then:
- ./powerpc-603e.sh
- (Go have a beer, or six. This will take awhile. On my 1.4 GHz machine, it takes roughly 4 hours #:(hey, just be happy you're not building it on your wimpy TS). It will use about 2 GB of disk space #:as well.)
- First create the /opt/crosstools directory and make sure your compiling user (hopefully not root) has #:access to write files there, then:

Using a 3rd party Cross Toolchain
Recently, I've been using the Embedded Linux Development Kit toolchain from Denx Software Engineering. This is a FREE cross-platform toolchain with support for a number of target CPUs (including the PPC 603e in the Terastation). The complete system is managed by RPM, including the cross-build process. The base toolchain comes with quite a few "ready to install" RPMs for your target platform.
I'm using the 3.1.1-2005-06-07 version as it most closely matches the libraries already on the Terastation.

Building code on the Terastation using Gentoo
This is a quick and dirty way to get a working gcc build environment on the Terastation itself.
Due to the size of the Gentoo base layout, we don't want to do this on the root filesystem, or we'll fill it up. The easiest thing to do is create a new shared folder called (for example) gentoo under /mnt/array1.
Download the 2004.1 stage3 ppc tarball from one of the Gentoo Mirrors. You will need to look in the releases/historical/ppc/2004.1/stages/ppc/ directory for stage3-ppc-2004.1.tar.bz2. Put this in the gentoo folder.
cd /mnt/array1/gentoo tar xpjvf stage3-ppc-2004.1.tar.bz2 mount -t proc proc ./proc
Copy some files over:
cp /etc/fstab etc cp /etc/passwd etc cp /etc/group etc cp /etc/resolv.conf etc cp /etc/hosts etc
Now chroot into the Gentoo environment:
bin/chroot . /bin/bash source /etc/profile
At this point, you should have access to gcc, nano, ssh, and a host of other useful tools - certainly enough to download tarballs and build applications. I've succeeded in building unfs3, openssh, and a bunch of other apps this way. Note that anything you build must either be run from inside the chroot'd environment, OR you must resolve any additional library dependencies by copying new required libs into /lib on the real root filesystem.
I did try unsuccessfully to get the whole Gentoo portage system working - which would be pretty sweet, but I kept running into problems which I think are due to the 2004.1 release being so old. Unfortunately later versions of the stage3 tarball don't work because its libs are designed to work with a 2.6 kernel.
Open SSL and Open SSH and use Winscp (Putty) to Access with Windows
Download WinScp and Putty Download Opensshand Open SSL and grops
- Unrar it and transfer openssh-3.0.2p1.tar.gz and openssl-0.9.6e.tar.gz and groups.gz to the TeraStation by copying it to the share.
- Untar both into the root directory of the TeraStation.
- Untar groups.gz to /bin
- Edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/ssh and remove the # from line 14 which mentions AUTOKEYGEN.
- The following commands make it automatically start on boot and also start now:
cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ ln -s ../init.d/ssh S30ssh /etc/rc.d/init.d/ssh start
If you've done all the steps correctly then OpenSSH should be running and also start each time you reboot the TeraStation. The version of OpenSSH that was compiled for the Kuro Box actually has a security flaw which was corrected in newer versions of OpenSSH. And now you can Access from Windows too your Tera with Winscp and make Tunnel with Putty. You can trick some Firewall with Putty and Tunnel :-)

Welcome to the AFC Target thingamajig for week 9. Below you will find target numbers and names of National Football League players smushed together in a somewhat coherent manner. And then some words of my own making that correspond to those names and numbers. But before that, I thought you might want to look at the target leaders for the first half of the first half of the season compared to the second half of the first half of the season. Do those words make any sense whatsoever? Well, if you have any questions ask me on Twitter because that's where I sleep (so be as quiet as possible).
Target/Game Leaders
To start saving space I'll be showing you the last 6 weeks of targets on each individual player. I'm also changing the parenthesized number from total targets to targets per game. That should help even that number out for players that have missed games because of injury or bye weeks.
Baltimore Ravens
Anquan Boldin: 7-12-10-6-7-BYE (7.3), Dennis Pitta: 7-2-4-5-8-BYE (7.1), Torrey Smith: 10-10-4-4-13-BYE (7), Ray Rice: 5-11-3-4-5-BYE (6), Jacoby Jones: 4-7-2-3-2-BYE (3.3), Ed Dickson: 2-0-1-2-5-BYE (2.4), Vonta Leach: 3-2-2-1-0-BYE (1.7), Tandon Doss: 0-2-1-0-1-BYE (0.7), Deonte Thompson: 0-0-0-dnp-dnp-BYE (0.4), Bernard Pierce: 1-0-0-1-0-BYE (0.3)
The Ravens took the bye week to get Joe Flacco waxed.
Buffalo Bills
Steve Johnson: 11-10-10-11-7-BYE (9.1), Scott Chandler: 4-8-6-3-4-BYE (5.1), Donald Jones: 6-3-4-4-5-BYE (4.6), C.J. Spiller: 2-2-1-5-6-BYE (3.1), Fred Jackson: dnp-3-1-6-11-BYE (4.2), T.J. Graham: 5-8-3-3-1-BYE (3.5), Tashard Choice: 5-1-dnp-0-dnp-BYE (1.4), Brad Smith: 0-2-1-0-1-BYE (0.8), Dorin Dickerson: dnp-2-dnp-dnp-0-BYE (0.5), Corey McIntyre: 2-0-0-0-0-BYE (0.3)
The Bills took the bye week to find a new nickname for Super Mario.
Cincinnati Bengals
A.J. Green: 11-9-13-12-6-BYE (10.6), Jermaine Gresham: 7-5-6-8-5-BYE (6.3), Andrew Hawkins: 4-3-13-5-4-BYE (5.9), Armon Binns: 3-5-6-5-dnp-BYE (4.8), BenJarvus Green-Ellis: 1-3-2-1-1-BYE (1.9), Brandon Tate: 0-0-1-1-1-BYE (1.1), Cedric Peerman: 0-0-0-8-0-BYE (1.1), Ryan Whalen: dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp-7-BYE (7), Brian Leonard: 1-1-2-1-dnp-BYE (0.8), Orson Charles: 1-1-0-2-0-BYE (0.6), Marvin Jones: dnp-2-dnp-2-0-BYE (0.8), Mohamed Sanu: 0-0-0-dnp-3-BYE (0.8)
The Bengals used the bye to disavow all ties to Cris Collinsworth.
Cleveland Browns
Greg Little: 4-10-2-5-7-5 (5.5), Josh Gordon: 6-1-8-4-10-5 (5.1), Trent Richardson: 7-6-7-3-2-1 (4.2), Ben Watson: 8-6-3-5-3-4 (4), Chris Ogbonnaya: 3-4-4-2-4-3 (3.7), Jordan Cameron: 7-6-2-4-2-4 (3.2), Travis Benjamin: 4-5-dnp-dnp-5-0 (3.3), Jordan Norwood: dnp-10-9-dnp-dnp-dnp (9.5), Mohamed Massaquoi: 3-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp (6), Josh Cooper: dnp-dnp-dnp-3-8-1 (4), Alex Smith: dnp-dnp-dnp-0-dnp-3 (2), Josh Cribbs: 1-2-0-1-0-1 (0.9), Owen Marecic: 0-0-0-2-0-dnp (0.7)
The Chargers game was good for a Browns' win and Trent Richardson's return to health and fantasy relevance. That was about it. Josh Gordon remains the number one targeted receiver, and is the only semi-trustworthy receiver on the team.
After watching Trent Richardson go through plenty of ups and downs this season, it's good to take a look at his overall fantasy production. He currently is seventh in fantasy points for running backs. This is what happens when you have a running back who gets goal line carries and receptions, even when they are going through multiple injuries.
Denver Broncos
Eric Decker: 11-9-8-9-BYE-6 (8.3), Demaryius Thomas: 11-6-11-2-BYE-9 (8.1), Jacob Tamme: 10-6-11-2-BYE-4 (6), Brandon Stokley: 6-2-3-4-BYE-2 (3.7), Joel Dreessen: 5-3-4-7-BYE-2 (3.6), Willis McGahee: 2-6-6-5-BYE-2 (3.4), Lance Ball: 3-2-0-0-BYE-0 (1), Matthew Willis: 1-dnp-0-1-BYE-1 (0.8), Ronnie Hillman: 1-2-1-0-BYE-1 (1), Virgil Green: dnp-dnp-0-0-BYE-3 (1)
The Broncos continue to roll under Manning's example and direction, but the true break out talent for them this season has been Demaryius Thomas. He is currently neck and neck with Eric Decker in targets and has just one more reception than him, but he has 679 receiving yards to Decker's 484 and just one less touchdown even though Decker has 12 red zone targets to Thomas' six (three in week 8). Thomas has averaged 8.2 yards after the catch (4th in the league) to Decker's 3.1. Decker, as predicted, is the possession receiver while Thomas is the play maker and that should continue.
Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen split pass routes about evenly, but Tamme saw two more targets and actually caught two of them. Tamme continues to lead in this battle, but not enough to be a safe fantasy play.
Houston Texans
Andre Johnson: 4-6-6-12-10-BYE (7.4), Owen Daniels: 5-6-5-5-10-BYE (6.9), Kevin Walter: 6-3-6-4-6-BYE (4.4), Arian Foster: 1-2-4-3-5-BYE (3.6), James Casey: 3-5-5-2-2-BYE (3.3), Keshawn Martin: 4-3-0-6-2-BYE (2.6), Garrett Graham: 4-1-0-5-2-BYE (1.9), Ben Tate: 0-2-dnp-0-0-BYE (1.5), Lestar Jean: 1-dnp-dnp-0-0-BYE (0.6)
The Texans took the bye to read Arian Foster's poetry.
Indianapolis Colts
Reggie Wayne: 15-BYE-20-10-11-11 (13.1), Donnie Avery: 9-BYE-8-12-6-7 (8.6), Coby Fleener: 2-BYE-9-6-2-3 (5.1), T.Y. Hilton: 8-BYE-9-4-5-6 (5.5), Dwayne Allen: 6-BYE-5-4-2-5 (3.3), Kris Adams: 1-BYE-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp (2.7), Vick Ballard: 0-BYE-1-3-1-1 (1), Donald Brown: 1-BYE-2-dnp-dnp-1 (1.2), Mewelde Moore: 1-BYE-dnp-0-0-2 (1), LaVon Brazill: 0-BYE-0-1-1-1 (0.7), Nathan Palmer: dnp-BYE-1-2-0-dnp (1)
Reggie Wayne is averaging 13.1 targets, 7.7 receptions and 108.1 receiving yards per game. Those are all tops in the league. He's had trouble getting into the end zone, but thankfully he has a nice schedule ahead of him and should be able to up his touchdown numbers, with Miami, Jacksonville, New England, Buffalo, Detroit, Tennessee, Houston (tough), and Kansas City on the horizon.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Justin Blackmon: 5-10-8-BYE-4-8 (6.4), Cecil Shorts: 2-5-3-BYE-10-12 (5.9), Mike Thomas: 3-2-8-BYE-3-7 (3.9), Marcedes Lewis: 1-3-7-BYE-3-7 (3.7), Rashad Jennings: dnp-1-0-BYE-9-8 (3.8), Maurice Jones-Drew: 2-5-3-BYE-0-dnp (3), Laurent Robinson: 1-1-dnp-BYE-dnp-dnp (4.2), Greg Jones: 3-4-0-BYE-0-0 (1.4), Kevin Elliott: 0-0-3-BYE-1-2 (1.2), Zach Potter: 0-0-1-BYE-1-0 (0.6), Montell Owens: 0-0-0-BYE-0-dnp (0.5), Jalen Parmele: 0-0-0-BYE-1-1 (0.3), Micheal Spurlock: 0-0-dnp-BYE-0-2 (0.3)
Hey! We finally have some relevant target news from Jacksonville. Alert the media. Stop the, uh, "post" button from being clicked. Cecil Shorts is on fire. In his first five games of the season he had 19 targets and in his last two he's had 22. That's more in less time I think. Plus he's averaging 20 yards a reception on 20 receptions, which equals 400 yards. I'll now have those round numbers stuck in my head forever, but will continue to forget how old I am.
Kansas City Chiefs
Dwayne Bowe: 16-12-8-9-BYE-6 (10.3), Dexter McCluster: 4-4-0-8-BYE-8 (5.6), Tony Moeaki: 3-4-1-2-BYE-8 (4), Jon Baldwin: 4-5-3-5-BYE-2 (3.6), Jamaal Charles: 8-4-3-3-BYE-3 (3.6), Shaun Draughn: 3-5-1-4-BYE-2 (2.7), Steve Breaston: 3-1-0-0-BYE-1 (1.4), Peyton Hillis: 1-dnp-dnp-dnp-BYE-1 (2), Steve Maneri: dnp-dnp-0-5-BYE-dnp (2.5), Jake OConnell: dnp-0-0-0-BYE-3 (0.5), Cyrus Gray: 0-1-1-0-BYE-0 (0.4), Nate Eachus: dnp-dnp-0-2-BYE-0 (0.7)
The Chiefs just won't stop being horrible. They have two amazingly gifted offensive players along with some amazingly gifted defensive players and it all adds up to horrible. I don't know how you can trust any of them at this point, but it's extremely difficult to sit Jamaal Charles because he is just too good. You can't expect him to only get eight looks a week, hopefully.
Miami Dolphins
Brian Hartline: 9-19-5-0-BYE-6 (8.4), Davone Bess: 7-12-6-9-BYE-9 (8), Anthony Fasano: 10-5-4-6-BYE-2 (5), Reggie Bush: 1-1-2-7-BYE-1 (3.1), Charles Clay: 0-1-5-2-BYE-1 (1.9), Daniel Thomas: 2-1-1-dnp-BYE-2 (1.8), Anthony Armstrong: 6-0-0-0-BYE-dnp (1.8), Jorvorskie Lane: 1-0-2-2-BYE-0 (0.9), Marlon Moore: dnp-dnp-0-3-BYE-1 (0.8)
The Dolphins are a weird team. They can look like fantasy gold one week and fantasy mold the next. While destroying the Jets last week, only three roster spots got to double digit fantasy points, the defense, Dan Carpenter and Daniel Thomas. And it's been pretty much slim pickings since Brian Hartline's huge week four. And I think this is just the way it's going to be.
They do have a fantasy friendly schedule for running backs coming up with Indianapolis, Tennessee, Buffalo, then tough Seattle, New England, San Francisco, and then back to easy in the fantasy playoffs, with Jacksonville and Buffalo again. That's good news for Reggie Bush, but he did see a big dip in time on the field last week while Daniel Thomas got all the short yardage and mop-up duty. It's concerning, but I'm still fairly high on Bush with this schedule.
New England Patriots
Wes Welker: 10-11-15-14-8-9 (10.4), Brandon Lloyd: 12-7-5-12-8-4 (8.6), Rob Gronkowski: 3-11-5-8-9-13 (8), Aaron Hernandez: dnp-dnp-dnp-9-7-dnp (6), Danny Woodhead: 2-2-1-5-4-7 (2.8), Julian Edelman: 7-dnp-dnp-dnp-2-2 (3.8), Deion Branch: 3-0-2-4-2-1 (2), Stevan Ridley: 1-0-0-2-0-0 (1.2), Daniel Fells: 0-2-2-2-0-0 (1), Shane Vereen: dnp-2-0-0-1-1 (0.8), Michael Hoomanawanui: 1-0-dnp-dnp-0-1 (0.3), Kellen Winslow: 2-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp (2), Brandon Bolden: 0-1-1-0-dnp-dnp (0.3)
The Patriots set a record with 17 consecutive games totaling 350 or more yards last week in London. That means they put up more consistent yards than The Greatest Show on Turf. And that is good news for fantasy players like us who own Patriots players.
Brandon Lloyd had his worst target game of the season (insert sad noise). He also only caught two passes (insert even sadder noise). Wait, there's more? What's that you say? He caught both for touchdowns!? Holy Gronkowski!
And speaking of The Gronk, he's back on his touchdown tear, having caught four in the last two games, while also leading in targets. Those things do coincide at least some of the time.
New York Jets
Jeremy Kerley: 3-3-9-6-11-11 (6.4), Stephen Hill: 7-dnp-dnp-3-7-7 (5.3), Jeff Cumberland: 6-5-4-1-1-dnp (3.7), Chaz Schilens: 3-3-5-4-3-5 (3), Dustin Keller: dnp-dnp-dnp-1-7-11 (5), Shonn Greene: 2-0-2-0-9-5 (2.4), Bilal Powell: 5-3-4-2-dnp-dnp (2.8), Clyde Gates: 1-0-3-dnp-dnp-11 (3.2), Patrick Turner: dnp-5-dnp-dnp-dnp-dnp (2.5), Jason Hill: dnp-dnp-2-1-0-dnp (1), Konrad Reuland: dnp-dnp-1-0-1-1 (0.8), Lex Hilliard: dnp-dnp-0-0-1-1 (0.3), Jonathan Grimes: dnp-dnp-0-dnp-1-1 (0.7)
Jeremy Kerley, Dustin Keller and Clyde Kates had 11 targets each, um, Gates. Mark Sanchez threw the ball a whole lot, 54 times actually, and completed one touchdown and one interception. Just think if he had a decent backup.
Stephen Hill, Chaz Schilens and Shonn Greene each had 29 yards receiving. If we look further into this game's numbers, I'm pretty sure we find Amelia Earhart.
It's hard to garner much from this game. I'm not going to jump on the Clyde Gates bandwagon quite yet and his "emergence" is a little worrisome for Kerley's recent "emergence." Kerley has a better track record this season, but when it comes down to it, the only guy I'll feel decent about is Dustin Keller, because he is one of the few players that I know without a doubt that Sanchez trusts.
Oakland Raiders
Denarius Moore: 10-8-BYE-9-8-8 (8.5), Darren McFadden: 2-1-BYE-4-7-6 (6.4), Brandon Myers: 4-2-BYE-7-10-3 (5.3), Darrius Heyward-Bey: 5-dnp-BYE-2-7-3 (5), Rod Streater: 2-2-BYE-3-4-5 (4.1), Marcel Reece: 5-8-BYE-1-6-0 (3.6), Derek Hagan: 4-5-BYE-4-1-1 (3.1), David Ausberry: 1-2-BYE-2-0-0 (1.3), Mike Goodson: 0-3-BYE-1-1-0 (1.1), Juron Criner: dnp-3-BYE-0-1-2 (1.2), Richard Gordon: 1-dnp-BYE-dnp-dnp-0 (1.2)
Denarius Moore is averaging 8.5 targets a game, which is great for a deep threat like him. His skill set is perfect for stretching the field, but he's now getting some higher percentage passes that allow him to take advantage of his running skills. His after the catch yardage ranks ninth in the league at 6.5.
Brandon Myers ranks sixth in receiving yards for tight ends, but just can't get into the end zone. I would predict that he'll start finding the end zone soon, but his target numbers fluctuate a little too much for me to bank on it.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Antonio Brown: 11-BYE-10-10-8-6 (9), Mike Wallace: 11-BYE-8-4-15-9 (8.3), Heath Miller: 9-BYE-5-9-8-6 (6.7), Emmanuel Sanders: 4-BYE-7-6-2-5 (5.1), Isaac Redman: 3-BYE-0-5-dnp-dnp (2.2), Chris Rainey: 2-BYE-1-1-1-2 (1.4), Jonathan Dwyer: 1-BYE-dnp-dnp-0-1 (1.6), Jerricho Cotchery: 1-BYE-1-0-1-dnp (1), Will Johnson: 1-BYE-0-1-1-2 (1), Baron Batch: 2-BYE-0-1-1-1 (0.7), Rashard Mendenhall: dnp-BYE-3-1-dnp-dnp (2), David Paulson: 0-BYE-1-1-1-0 (0.4), Leonard Pope: 0-BYE-0-0-0-1 (0.3)
Heath Miller still leads all receivers, not just tight ends, with red zone targets. His 16 targets beat out Marques Colston's 15 and Rob Gronkowski's 14. And his six red zone touchdowns are only topped by James Jones' seven. To put his red zone targets in perspective, he ranks 54th in targets per game while Colston is 10th. Teams might want to think about covering Miller in the red zone (so Antonio Brown can get some friggin touchdowns!).
San Diego Chargers
Malcom Floyd: 9-3-8-5-BYE-7 (6.6), Antonio Gates: 7-3-7-10-BYE-4 (6.5), Ronnie Brown: dnp-3-5-4-BYE-8 (4.8), Robert Meachem: 7-2-4-7-BYE-3 (4.1), Ryan Mathews: 8-2-8-5-BYE-4 (5.4), Eddie Royal: 3-5-5-5-BYE-dnp (3.8), Dante Rosario: 1-0-1-1-BYE-5 (1.9), Curtis Brinkley: 2-dnp-dnp-0-BYE-dnp (2.8), Randy McMichael: 1-0-0-2-BYE-0 (1), Jackie Battle: 0-4-2-0-BYE-0 (0.9), LeRon McClain: 0-1-0-0-BYE-0 (0.7), Richard Goodman: 0-0-0-2-BYE-0 (0.3)
I'd say the biggest news, besides the ineptitude of the Chargers last week, is that Ronnie Brown still lives and he's stealing all of Ryan Mathews' targets! Well, not all of them, but enough to make me scooch into the fetal position and dry my eyes out every night. Brown is actually second in receiving yards for running backs and is averaging 9.5 yards per reception compared to Mathews' 7.4. I still believe Mathews brings a completely different dynamic to the screen game than Brown, but it's hard to rail against Norv Turner on this point, especially when there are so many others we could point to.
One of those being the four targets Antonio Gates saw in Cleveland. Yes, it was a wet and windy day, but Gates was coming off his best game of the year and the Chargers needed to throw short to medium distances to combat the wind. So for some reason Dante Rosario had more targets.
Tennessee Titans
Kendall Wright: 11-8-11-8-3-5 (7.5), Nate Washington: 3-5-7-10-8-6 (6.1), Jared Cook: 4-4-8-4-5-4 (5.1), Kenny Britt: 11-dnp-5-11-6-5 (6.7), Damian Williams: 3-2-3-3-4-1 (3.5), Chris Johnson: 2-2-1-4-2-3 (3), Craig Stevens: 7-2-4-2-1-3 (2.6), Darius Reynaud: 0-0-1-0-2-0 (0.9), Taylor Thompson: 0-1-2-1-1-0 (0.8), Quinn Johnson: 1-1-1-1-1-1 (0.8), Lavelle Hawkins: dnp-1-dnp-dnp-dnp-1 (1.5)
Kendall Wright was the lucky one this week with a touchdown that should have been Kenny Britt's, but all in all, there weren't many yards to go around for receivers. And Matt Hasselbeck has thrown six touchdowns in five games and has averaged 224 yards passing per game. If you aren't one of the chosen few to get into the end zone, your chances of having a good fantasy day are slim and nil.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Junior Steven Gasparini broke the program record twice in the 200-yard individual medley and senior Ben Hwang earned a spot in the championship final of the 50 freestyle to lead Duke Thursday on the second day of action at the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Swimming & Diving Championships. The Blue Devils also set a number of personal records, turning in best performances in 14 out of 17 swims on the day.
The Duke men are in seventh place through the first seven events of the championship meet with a total of 91 points, including points earned from junior Nick McCrory's first-place finish last week in the 1-meter springboard diving competition. Virginia is atop the team standings with 256 points, followed by Virginia Tech (217) in second and Florida State (205) in third.
In the first event of the evening, senior Ben Hwang, senior Adam Flur, freshman Sam Skinner and sophomore Stefan Knight combined for a season-best mark of 1:19.32 in the 200-yard freestyle relay, placing the squad seventh in the conference. In addition, Hwang's leadoff swim of 19.97 surpassed the NCAA provisional standard in the 50 freestyle.
Freshman Kevin Butz represented Duke in the bonus final of the 500 freestyle, overcoming Derek Pridemore of Florida State to win the heat and take 17th overall in a personal-best time of 4:27.13.
"He really stood up and raced well this morning," said head coach Dan Colella. "Coming back tonight, we talked about his race strategy. We talked about being a little more composed going out, not expending as much energy in the first part of the race and it paid off. That is a lifetime best and I am extremely proud of his performance tonight."
After breaking a four-year old program record in the preliminaries of the 200 IM with a 1:47.80 swim, junior Steven Gasparini came back Thursday night to eclipse his own record at 1:47.65. Gasparini was eighth 100 yards into the consolation final but moved up to third in the back half of the heat to finish 11th in the conference. The Harrisburg, Pa., native also earned a pair of NCAA 'B' cuts with his performances.
"We are really proud of the way Steve raced this evening," Colella said. "It was great swim this morning going in a 1:47.8 and he is a real competitor. For him to come back and swim the way he did and stay composed - he was a little behind at the 100, but he had a strong back half. We talked about it this morning and he really wanted to work on the last 50. That is what he did tonight and that is what made the difference."
Hwang picked up more points for Duke in the 50 freestyle, advancing to the championship final with a personal-best and NCAA provisionally-qualifying mark of 19.77 during the event preliminaries. The evening session saw the Duke senior tap the wall at 19.80 to finish seventh, while sophomore Stefan Knight joined Hwang in registering an NCAA 'B' cut with a personal-best 20.06 clocking in a 19th-place showing. Senior Adam Flur came in 23rd at 20.49 after notching a best time of 20.38 in the preliminaries.
The Blue Devils started off the morning's preliminary session with several personal-best performances, including a best time by sophomore Michael Donnalley in the 500 freestyle (4:29.76). In the 200 IM preliminaries, junior Hunter Knight (1:50.44), junior Tyler Fleming (1:50.59), sophomore Tyler Toren (1:50.73) and freshman Victor Chen (1:56.78) all posted personal-bests, as did senior Jim Zuponeck (20.63), senior Ted Minturn (21.36) and sophomore Clay Sanders (23.20) in the preliminaries of the 50 freestyle.
"We are really excited that out of our 14 swims this morning, 13 of them are lifetime bests," Colella said. "I think that has the guys very excited about the upcoming few days. In the coming days, we have some big opportunities and I think they are ready to capitalize on some of those opportunities."
The 2012 Men's ACC Swimming & Diving Championships continue Friday, March 1 at 11 a.m. with the preliminaries of the 400 IM, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke and the 100 backstroke. Finals in five individual events and the 400 medley relay are slated for 7 p.m. at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - University of Maryland outscored Duke 6-3 in the fourth quarter to earn a 16-10 victory over the No. 3 seeded Blue Devils in the NCAA men's lacrosse semifinals at Gillette Stadium. The Terrapins scored six unanswered in the final frame to advance to the NCAA title game against top-seeded Loyola.
Duke finishes the 2012 season with a 15-5 overall record. The Blue Devils advanced to the NCAA semifinals for the sixth consecutive year and for the eighth time overall. Maryland improves to 12-5 and moves onto the championship game for the second straight season.
"We'd like to congratulate the University of Maryland, their players and their staff on a terrific performance," head coach John Danowski said. "They were certainly up to the task today, and I thought they were terrific in many phases of the game. I think we were disappointed. If I have time to look back, I'm just so emotional and so close to the game, I don't know if we played as well as we think we're capable, but that may have been due to the University of Maryland and how well they played. We know that by maybe looking at the film. I'm very proud of my guys. Very proud of the way they fought, you know, tried to give it a run."
Justin Turri led all Duke scorers with two goals and an assist, while Robert Rotanz also netted two goals. Eight different Blue Devils scored in the game, including Eddie Loftus and Andrew Vekstein late in the fourth quarter. CJ Costabile finished with a goal, eight ground balls and went 10-of-21 at the faceoff X.
The Terrapins were led by Kevin Cooper's one goal and four assists, while Drew Snider posted four goals. Maryland goaltender Niko Amato made 10 saves in the victory.
Maryland jumped out to a 3-0 lead, holding Duke scoreless for 13:30 to start the game. The Blue Devils rallied back to make it a one-goal game with a pair of goals from Josh Dionne and Robert Rotanz in 1:03 to end the first quarter trailing 3-2.
The Terrapins' offense was a model of efficiency in the second quarter, scoring four goals on five shots. Defensively, Maryland held Duke to just two goals and took a 7-4 lead into the break. Duke was able to pull the game within one at 4-3, but the Terps pushed its advantage back to three at 6-3 and added the seventh goal with 13 ticks left in the first half.
Duke had four different goal scorers in the first half as Dionne, Rotanz, Costabile and Christian Walsh all netted scores.
Maryland, leading 7-4 at the break, jumped all over the Blue Devils in the third quarter. After holding Duke off on a pair of man advantage opportunities, the Terrapins added two scores for its largest lead of the game, 9-4.
Facing a five-goal deficit, the Blue Devils started to mount a comeback midway through the third quarter. Turri netted his first goal of the game at 5:08 of the third and junior Josh Offit added a goal 1:10 later to make it a 9-6 contest.
After Maryland responded with a goal to go ahead four again, Turri put up another tally to pull the Blue Devils within three heading into the final 15 minutes of action.
Duke quickly made it a two-goal game 1:26 into the fourth quarter as Rotanz raced past the Maryland defense and fired a shot over the shoulder of Amato. The two goals were the closest the Blue Devils had been since it was 6-4 with 3:13 left in the second quarter.
Trailing by two, Duke seemingly made it 10-9 as Walsh got loose on the doorstep, but he was whistled for stepping in the crease to keep it a two-goal spread.
Maryland took advantage of the call and Snider responded just over a minute later to put the Terrapins in front by three again, 11-8. The Terrapins added a couple more before getting a few empty net scores for the 16-10 victory.
Loftus and Vekstein both came off the bench to get scores late in the game, their first career goals in NCAA Tournament play.
Maryland scored 16 goals on 29 shots, while Duke had 10 goals on its 32 shots. The Blue Devils won the ground ball battle, 27-23 and won 15-of-28 faceoffs overall. Duke was 1-for-6 on extra man opportunities. In goal, Dan Wigrizer had seven saves in 52 minutes of action.
Duke has won 15 games in a season six times overall and five times under head coach John Danowski ... Justin Turri finishes his career with 29 career points in NCAA Tournament play ... Robert Rotanz led all Duke midfielders with 40 goals, a Duke single season record for a midfielder ... Rotanz's 10 goals in the 2012 NCAA Tournament are tied for fifth all-time in Duke history.

However, people noticed how much YA1 improved in her number. Apparently, YA1 gave it her best effort during practice as she knows that YA2 is the better dancer. Of course, neither wanted to be upstaged by the other. After the number, someone asked YA1 if she hit elbows with YA2.
YA1 responded with "No way! Yuck!" Well, her spontaneous says that she is still much affected by what transpired between her and YA2. At this point, whatever YA1 and YA2 had will never be back to how it was. YA1 seems to be really hurting deeply. The question is when will YA1 wake up "'moved on" by what happened.

According to the Hymns and Carols of Christmas Web site, Irving Berlin wrote White Christmas for the film "Holiday Inn." It was one of more than a dozen songs Berlin penned for the film.
Berlin reportedly had doubts about White Christmas. But Bing Crosby, one of the stars of the film, was sure it would be a hit. He proved it: Crosby's recorded version went on to sell more than 30 million copies.
More than a decade after "Holiday Inn" was released, it inspired the movie also called "White Christmas."
White Christmas won an Oscar in 1942 as best movie song. One other song from the "Holiday Inn" soundtrack, Easter Parade, also is familiar to most of us. (It also led to a same-named movie.)
But other songs from "Holiday Inn" are not as well known. Probably, only the dedicated film fans or Berlin buffs know:
I'll Capture Your Heart
I Can't Tell a Lie
Say It With Firecrackers
I've Got Plenty to be Thankful For
But almost all Americans are familiar with White Christmas.
By the way: The Holiday Inn motel chain did take its name from the movie. The first Holiday Inn was opened in Memphis, Tenn. in 1952 by Kemmons Wilson. (Source: American Hotel and Lodging Association.)

A simple suggestion, look through the AGD web site at the parts listings... do you see any outrageous names for products or add on parts? The only name you'll see that comes close to being outrageous is 'nubbin'. Tom, like any sensible engineer with a head full of complicated ideas, likes to keep things simple, names typically define a function or an items appearance.
A few examples of what I'm talking about here...
Warp Feed (the fastest loader out there, "Warp speed, Mr. Scott.")
Flatline Regulator (no velocity spikes, a flatline like a dead man on a heart monitor)
Z Grip (what it looks like mounted to the marker)
With that in mind, here are my submissions...

There are many words used throughout in the English language that can be pronounced differently. Each with a root of it's own, some more defined than another. So if we start reaching, well... we can reach pretty far!

"I love the architecture of old Europe, with all the buildings hundreds of years old," said Pearl Ziegenhagen of Clements last week; whenever she paints in places like Greece, Italy, France, or Africa, "My favorite places are quaint, off-the-beaten-track places — kind of like Clements...."
"I love the architecture of old Europe, with all the buildings hundreds of years old," said Pearl Ziegenhagen of Clements last week.
"My favorite places are quaint, off-the-beaten-track places — kind of like Clements. It's too hard to paint in a city, with traffic all around you and people walking by."
Former farm wife Ziegenhagen made her first trip abroad to paint in 1989, when artist friends went on a trip to England.
"I was a fairly young widow, and every couple of years I'd go on another trip," she said. "I was born in Springfield and never expected to travel, so I've been very fortunate to do what I've done."
In the past quarter-century, Ziegenhagen has sketched, photographed, and painted in Norway, Sweeden, Russia, South Africa, Greece, and four times in Italy.
When she is painting on site in other countries, the natives "love to come over and look over your shoulder," Ziegenhagen laughed. "When you put some color in, they're always so impressed. In Europe, I think they appreciate the arts more than we do here."
Ziegenhagen's interest in art started when she was a high school student in Springfield.
"I took an art correspondence course in high school, then I married a Clements farm boy and had a family," she said. "There wasn't much time for art after that."
Eventually Ziegenhagen was able to take a class in watercolor, and her old interest came roaring back.
Ziegenhagen's most recent art excursion was to eastern Europe, to Croatia, site of centuries of battling by Serbians and Muslims.
"A lot of places were devastated by the wars, but I think the people are trying to get along now because they want the tourists to keep coming," said Ziegenhagen. "Croatia is a vacation spot in Europe, sort of like Italy."
One of Ziegenhagen's favorite paintings was of an apartment building near her hotel. Almost 2,000 years ago, it was originally part of the Roman emperor's palace.
The two week excursions take up to 25 artists at a time.
"We find a location, spend a few hours there, then move on," Ziegenhagen said.
With so little time in each location, Ziegenhagen says she "basically tries to get a sketch on the (watercolor paper), then I finish them when I get home."
The sketch done on location might only be a few squiggles drawn with a fine-point waterproof marker.
For colors, Ziegenhagen uses both her memory and photos she shoots on location.
However, the photos are only a jumping off point —- the art of drawing is in part the art of selection.
"When I get to a new location, I always have to walk around a bit and look around. Sometimes you can look in every direction and find something to paint, there's so much."
Although she paints in acrylics also, she limits herself on the trips to watercolor, since the materials are so much easier to carry around.
"I need to fit everything into one suitcase," she explains.
Half the fun of going on group tours is seeing how all the different artists respond to each location in his or her own way. Some painters might try to squeeze an entire landscape onto a canvas, while others might spend the whole time trying to capture the look of one leaf.
Ziegenhagen's art recently has been influenced by a trip to France, where she saw caveman art tens of thousands of years old.
"That has inspired me to do some abstractions based on the cave art," said Ziegenhagen. "They've been very popular; I've sold many of them."
When she returns from her trips abroad, Ziegenhagen takes out her sketched watercolor paper and recreates what she saw.
She paints in the most common of places — her kitchen table of her house in Clements.
"When company comes over I have to put away all my paintings," she laughed.

Two bills introduced in the Legislature would give charter schools greater freedom to open and operate in Kansas, where the schools have struggled to find a foothold.
Two bills introduced in the Legislature would give charter schools greater freedom to open and operate in Kansas, where the schools have struggled to find a foothold.
Kansas currently has 15 charter schools, which are publicly funded but generally operate independently of school districts. The state had 37 charter schools just three years ago. Most of those that closed cited financial difficulties.
The bills before the House and Senate are strongly influenced by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, sometimes quoting word-for-word from its model legislation, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/ZSQKMX ).
Charter school proponents say they offer parents a choice to send their children to schools that offer innovation and options and introduce competition into education.
Opponents contend charter schools aren't held to the same standards as public schools and often turn away or expel difficult students, who become the responsibility of public school districts.
The legislation proposed in Kansas would allow lottery admissions and bar charter schools from discriminating, although they would be able to turn away special-education students if they don't offer the services those students need.
The legislation also would allow independent groups, such as a university or county government, to create a charter school and monitor its progress, while the schools are run by other groups. It also would give charter schools exemptions from state laws and regulations, including graduation requirements and curriculum standards.
Charter schools also would no longer need school boards to receive funds. Instead, they would receive a portion of state aid that would otherwise have gone to the local board but wouldn't receive local funding, meaning that charter schools would have lower budgets. However, they could accept grants and donations.
The schools also would be exempt from professional negotiations laws involving teachers and would be allowed to offer different themes and specializations, including single-sex schools, but not religious schools.
Kansas Policy Institute, a free market group, supports the legislation, although it would prefer that charter schools have access to more public education funds, lobbyist Dave Trabert said.
The Kansas Association of School Boards, however, believes the legislation is unconstitutional because the state Constitution requires the State Board of Education to oversee public schools and elected school boards to operate them, the Capital-Journal reported.

FLUSHING, N.Y. – Junior Hanna Mar fell to No. 22 Anett Schutting of California in the quarterfinals at the USTA/ITA National Indoor Championship on Friday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y. After winning her round of 16 matchup earlier in the day, Mar was unable to advance in the tournament, and now owns a 13-3 record this fall, including a 5-2 slate against ranked opponents.
In the round of 16, Mar jumped out to an early lead against No. 41 Katie Le of Santa Clara, and topped Le, 6-3, 6-4. In the quarterfinal, Mar, who is ranked 35th in the preseason polls, was unable to slow Schutting, eventually falling, 6-1, 6-1.
While Mar was representing the Blue Devils in New York, three Blue Devils went undefeated at the Kitty Harrison Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C. Senior Mary Clayton, junior Marianne Jodoin and sophomore Annie Mulholland all advanced to the semifinals of their respective brackets after each winning two singles matches.
In the White Draw, No. 27 Jodoin had her serve broken early in the match against Karli Timko of Mashall, but was able to rally to claim the match, 6-2, 6-4. In the quarterfinals, Jodoin cruised past Steph Falcon of UNC-Greensboro, 6-1, 6-1 to advance to the semifinals on Saturday, where she is slated to face Anik Cepeda of William & Mary.
In the Blue Draw, No. 44 Mary Clayton bested Illinca Stoica of Virgina Tech, 6-2, 6-3 before dropping Marshall's Dominik Zaprazna, 6-3, 6-1. Clayton is slated to face Tessa Lyons of North Carolina in the semifinal match on Saturday.
Annie Mulholland, who is also in the Blue Draw, overcame early struggles to defeat Maria Voscekova of Marshall, 6-2, 6-3 in the opening round before downing Maria Fuccillo of Virginia, 6-3, 6-2. Mulholland is set to face Lauren McHale of North Carolina on Saturday at 1 p.m.
In doubles action, the duo of Clayton and Mulholland outlasted Niltooli Wilkins and Alex Whitehead of UNC-Greensboro, 8-6 in the first round and are scheduled to play Dominik Zapranzna and Maria Voscekova of Marshall on Saturday at 9 a.m.

The original 'silent' days of 1260 AM radio
Local sets up online radio station with KYLC-inspired programming
Apr 5, 2013 | 2 Comments |
(Ossie Bladine/News-Editor) This morning, Vern Isbell submitted the following to the Open Source blog:
KLYC is still silent, I set up an internet radio station playing a lot of what KLYC played! It's commercial free. Anyone can listen.
I have no budget. I sent email to Brian Ericksen and left voicemail to Stella if I could get some KlYC imaging mp3's to use.
Otherwise it's just me streaming a couple thousand oldies!
This afternoon Managing Editor Steve Bagwell forwarded me a YouTube video, uploaded on DraggingTheGut's page, that is a silent video showing the original days of 1260 AM radio.
As reported in the News-Register last month (blog version here), the station has broadcast since 1949, when it was founded by brothers Jack and Phil Bladine (grandpa to me), co-owners of the Telephone-Register, originally under the call letter KMCM.
The closure of KLYC was a sad announcement for many people - and not just locals. The day it was publicly announced, I received a call from a Portland gentleman who had just heard the news. "That's what all my car club buddies and I listen to when we get together," he said. "Portland radio is all the same ... we're sad to see it go."
There's obviously a large population who still digs the Golden Oldie classics that KLYC programmed. Thanks to Vern for setting radio station so we can at least listen at our desks while we work.

The Newton High School girls' basketball team followed one of its best shooting nights of the season with one of its worst, falling to Bishop Miege 56-41 Friday in the semifinals of the 37th Newton Invitational at Ravenscoft Gym. Miege, 10-3, faces Olathe Northwest at 6 p.m. today in an all-Johnson County NIT final. Newton, 9-2, plays Kapaun-Mt. Carmel at 4:30 p.m. for third place. Miege was 19 of 29 from the field, seven of 10 in the second half. Newton was 15 of 39 shooting, nine of 29 for the first three quarters. "They're a very good team," Newton coach Randy Jordan said. "They're a legitimate state title contender. I didn't think we came out with as much passion as we did last night. Last night was an emotional win. We can't use that as an excuse. We got hung up in their screens. I tried switching them — sometimes we did, sometimes we didn't — so I finally called a time out and told them to just fight through them. They run their stuff very well. We didn't defend it very well. Late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter, we played with more passion. We just had no answer for them, and we have to figure it out." Miege was led by Sydney Vaughn with 22 points, hitting eight of 12 from the field, including three of four 3-pointers. Vaughn is the first double-digit scorer against Newton in the last six games. Lexie Hughes added nine points. Newton was led by Abbie Lehman with 16 points, hitting seven of 14 from the field. Taylor Stahly added 10 points, eight in the second half. After seven lead changes early, Miege went on a 10-2 run to lead 17-10 at the end of the first quarter. Miege hit three 3-pointers in the period. Newton was two fo nine from the field. Newton got caught trading twos for threes in the second quarter, allowing Miege to lead by 11 at the end of the quarter, 29-18. Miege was 12 of 19 shooting in the first half, four of eight from 3-point range. Newton was five of 20 shooting in the first half, missing all five 3-point attempts. Miege put things away with a 15-2 run to start the third quarter, aided by four Railer turnovers. Stahly hit the Railers' first trey with 4:40 remaining in the game. "I thought tonight, we got the looks we wanted," Jordan said. "The shots we were making last night were not going down tonight. We took some bad shots in the first half. We addressed that at halftime." Newton plays in the third-place game for the first time in three years, "(Kapaun) is a very good team too," Jordan said. "They have a lot of size and a lot of speed. They will try and take you off the dribble. We just have to do a much better job of closing those drving lanes down."

Nine days after brutal murder in Kirksville, authorities confirm victim's identity.
Nine days after a horrific murder rocked northeast Missouri, local authorities have managed to confirm the identity of the victim in the Jan. 6 slaying at Village 76 apartments and amended charges have been filed against the man accused of murder.
Adair County Coroner Brian Noe said the victim's name was Willis Edward Meredith, though he also went by the name "Jake Steadman."
It was not immediately known if that was an alias or if Meredith had legally changed his name.
Noe said the final confirmation of Meredith's identity came from family located in Kansas. They were able to provide details and locations of tattoos on Meredith's body, Noe said.
The coroner was uncertain if results of a fingerprint comparison had been returned. Authorities had been waiting for verification of the man's identity via fingerprints, having sent a set to the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) last week. Noe indicated the body's condition made a visual confirmation of identity impossible.
Paul R. Potter, 49, of 169 Valley Forge Drive, was originally charged with a class A felony of second-degree murder, a class C felony of tampering with a motor vehicle and a class C felony of arson.
According to a press release from Adair County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Wilson, new information in the case has led to amended charges. Potter is now facing a class A felony of first-degree murder, a class C felony of tampering with a motor vehicle, a class C felony of arson, an unclassified felony of armed criminal action, and a class B felony of burglary.
The new charge apparently stems from an interview between Kirksville Police and Potter, where Potter allegedly waived his Miranda Rights and proceeded to state he entered Meredith's apartment out of anger. He told police he brought several knives with him and stabbed Meredith in the head and face.
The documents do not state if Potter said why he was angry. Witnesses at the scene said Potter referenced a belief Meredith had somehow harmed his son.
It is alleged that Potter stabbed Meredith multiple times, resulting in Meredith's death. Court documents also state Potter dismembered Meredith's body and later threw human arms at witnesses.
Potter and others were standing outside their apartments at Village 76 late Jan. 6 as the Kirksville Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire. During that response, Potter allegedly attempted to drag another resident into his apartment, which was also on fire.
Potter reportedly set the fires in an effort to conceal and distract from the murder scene.
New documents released Tuesday say Meredith's body was found at his residence at 170 Valley Forge Drive. An autopsy preliminary defined "sharp force wounds to the left lung and heart" as contributing to the cause of death.
Results of a toxicology panel are pending.
Potter is currently jailed on a $1 million bond. His preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday morning at the Adair County Courthouse.
Noe was not able to confirm Meredith's exact age or date of birth. He did say Meredith was born in Iowa and moved to Kansas City at some time before eventually relocating to Novinger.
Novinger residents said the man they knew as "Jake" arrived sometime in the mid-1970s and lived there for about 30 years.

The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim's father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can't change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life-so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think.
To get showtimes, enter your location to find theaters showing this movie in your area.
Writer and director Richard Curtis has made a career out of making films about love: falling in love, falling out of love, first dates, heartbreaks, and everything in between. About Time takes a slightly different approach to the subject, by combining a time travel-based romantic comedy with a story about the importance of family and living your life to the fullest. It's the latter part of the film that really makes About Time stand out from all of the rom-coms in his repertoire, and its release is perfectly timed to give audiences a warm, fuzzy feeling to combat the family conflicts that rear their heads around the holidays. Think of it as Curtis' answer to August: Osage County.
After a disastrous New Years party, the endearingly awkward Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) finds out from his father (Bill Nighy) that the men in their family have the ability to travel through time. As with all time travel films, the rules are laid out from the beginning: Tim can only go into his own past, never to the future, everything he changes in the past causes a change in the future, and he must go into a small, dark space in order for the traveling to work ? although, some of these rules get bent or even broken over the course of the film in order to better suit the narrative that Curtis wants to tell. And so, with that instruction, Tim is off, intending to use his power to find the love of his life.
The first half of the film is typical rom-com fare, instilled with enough wit and warmth to make it stand up to Curtis' other films. Gleeson is wonderfully charming, selling both the awkwardness and the humor of the failed courting of his sister's friend, Charlotte (Margot Robbie). Of course, once that goes terribly wrong, it's only a matter of time before he meets-cute with Mary (Rachel McAdams) on a blind date, and woos her, only to lose her... and then win her back through the graces of his gift. The film never addresses the implications of Tim using his power to manipulate Mary, leaving the morality in the formation of their relationship a bit of a grey area. However, McAdams and Gleeson do a good enough job of portraying their growing love that it's easy to push those tricky issues out of your head... at least until the credits roll.
As Mary, McAdams is capable and charming, and carries the role the best she can. Being a rom-com veteran works to her advantage here, as she tries to imbue Mary with all of the warmth and personality that the other characters have. Unfortunately, there?s something that feels missing from the character, and even though McAdams and Gleeson have wonderful chemistry and a rapport that saves their scenes, Mary is never quite as magnetic as the film wants you to believe. Additionally, Tom Hollander is terribly underused as Harry, Tim's foul-mouthed curmudgeon of a roommate, who not only provides the bulk of the film's laughs, but also serves to balance out the lightness and happiness of the rest of the film with some well-placed cynicism.
But McAdams and Gleeson are enjoyable enough to watch, and Curtis' script sweeps you into their love story, but it's once their future is assured and the film begins to focus on Tim's relationship with his family that the movie excels. The strength of the film is the relationship between Tim and his family ? in particular, his father and sister, Kit Kat (Lydia Wilson). Nighy and Gleeson play off each other perfectly, with the perfect amounts of sentiment and sarcasm in their dialogue. Nighy's character is both incredibly specific to the film and open enough for the audience to project their own idealized father figure onto his place, and he manages to imbue every line he speaks with affection for his son and the world around him. Their relationship is an easy one, and it gives the film most of its warmth and happiness. Their chemistry is what holds the film's narrative together and it's because their scenes are so enjoyable to watch that it gives the f

So the camo nut warmers on PV are still intact and in place. This is day 3, so I'm up by 50% already. In addition, the pink nut warmers in Polson Park (with the hand-written request to allow them to stay in place) have been respected. Even as the park workers cleared out all the dead plants, tilled the soil and planted bulbs, they left the nut warmers in place. How considerate!

Sky's the Limit for James Bond
LOS ANGELES -- James Bond's "Skyfall" has extended its worldwide box-office rule to North America, hauling in a franchise-record $87.8 million in its first weekend at U.S. theaters.
Adding in $2.2 million from Thursday night previews at IMAX and other large-format theaters, "Skyfall" has taken in $90 million domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That lifts the worldwide total for "Skyfall" to $518.6 million since it began rolling out overseas in late October. Internationally, the 23rd Bond flick added $89 million this weekend to raise its overseas revenue to $428.6 million.
The third installment starring Daniel Craig as British super-spy Bond, "Skyfall" outdid the $67.5 million U.S. debut of 2008's "Quantum of Solace," the franchise's previous best opening. "Skyfall" more than doubled the $40.8 million debut of Craig's first Bond film, 2006's "Casino Royale."
"Skyfall" already has passed the $407.7 million overseas total for "Quantum of Solace" and by Monday, it will top the $432.2 million international haul for "Casino Royale."
The Craig era has reinvigorated one of Hollywood's most-enduring franchises, whose first big-screen Bond adventure, "Dr. No," debuted 50 years ago.
"It's quite a testament to Bond, considering it's the 50th anniversary. What a great anniversary present," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony, which produces the Bond films along with MGM.
"Skyfall" was the weekend's only new wide release, but Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" had a huge start in a handful of theaters. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president, "Lincoln" took in $900,000 in 11 theaters for a whopping average of $81,818 a cinema. By comparison, "Skyfall" averaged $25,050 in 3,505 theaters.
"Lincoln" centers on the months leading up to the president's assassination in April 1865, as he maneuvers to pass the 13th amendment abolishing slavery and end the Civil War. Distributor Disney will expand "Lincoln" into nationwide release of about 1,600 theaters Friday and may widen the film further over Thanksgiving week.
The film has strong Academy Awards prospects for two-time directing winner Spielberg, two-time acting recipient Day-Lewis and the rest of the cast, which includes Oscar winners Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
"The performances are some of the greatest of recent time," said Dave Hollis, head of distribution for Disney. "I don't know if you're ever going to think about it again without seeing our actor as Lincoln. Daniel is extraordinary in the role."
"Skyfall" took over the top spot at the weekend box office from Disney's animated comedy "Wreck-It Ralph," which fell to No. 2 with $33.1 million, raising its domestic total to $93.7 million.
While "Skyfall" marked a new high for Bond's opening-weekend revenue, the film has a long way to go to match the biggest audiences 007 has ever drawn. Adjusted for inflation, Sean Connery's 1965 Bond adventure "Thunderball" would have taken in an estimated $508 million domestically in today's dollars, with its 1964 predecessor "Goldfinger" not far behind at $444 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
The Bond films over the last two decades have come in around the $200 million range domestically in inflation-adjusted dollars.
Still, Craig's Bond is setting a new critical standard for the franchise. While "Quantum of Solace" had a so-so critical reception, "Skyfall" and "Casino Royale" are among the best-reviewed Bond films, with critics and fans enjoying the darker edge Craig has imprinted on 007.
"'Skyfall' is to the Bond franchise what `The Dark Knight' was to the Batman franchise," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "By taking it to a whole other level, this is a different kind of Bond that can be taken really seriously."
Directed by Sam Mendes, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind "American Beauty" and Craig's director on "Road to Perdition," "Skyfall" continues the current franchise's exploration into the emotional traumas that have shaped Bond's cool, aloof manner.
The film reveals secrets out of the past of Bond's boss, British spymaster M (Judi Dench), and pits 007 against a brilliant but unstable former agent (Javier Bardem) who's out for revenge.
Hollywood remains on a brisk pace this fall as the busy holiday season approaches. Overall domestic revenues totaled $172 million, up 26 percent from the same weekend last year, when "Immortals" led with $32.2 million.
For the year, domestic revenues are at $9.1 billion, up 4.3 percent from 2011's, according to Hollywood.com.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "Skyfall," $87.8 million.
2. "Wreck-It Ralph," $33.1 million.
3. "Flight," $15.1 million.
4. "Argo," $6.7 million.
5. "Taken 2," $4 million.
6. "Here Comes the Boom," $2.6 million
7. "Cloud Atlas," $2.53 million.
8. "Pitch Perfect," $2.5 million.
9. "The Man with the Iron Fists," $2.49 million.
10. "Hotel Transylvania," $2.4 million.
