You are all getting upset about nothing... these people only seek attention. Halle's fame is gradually fading and she's exposing her body to regain it and u all her helping her wit it. The fact that she looks 21 doesn't mean she has to act like a child though... It saddens me to see our role model behave stupidly... I honestly hope her children sees this one day and say, "mummy why did u embarrass us"Delete

The SJA volleyball team got the season off to a great start with a three games to none victory over Luverne last Thursday.
The SJA volleyball team got the season off to a great start with a three games to none victory over Luverne last Thursday.
The matches were not close as the Saints won 25-13, 25-11 and 25-16. The Saints also demonstrated a capability to spread the offensive and defensive tasks around. Many of the players got kills, serves, digs and the other statistical categories.
For the first game of the year the Saints started four juniors Liz Reckow, Katy Hedlund, Emily Bottem and Brenda Cervantes. Sophomores Julia Beckius and Allison Brandts also took the floor for the first serve.
Junior Lindzey Hanson rotated in almost as another starter. Lindzey usually replaced Katy when Katy was rotating to the back row. Lindzey served instead of Katy and provided a defensive presence along the back line.
Of Lindzey's play Head Coach Steve Chapin said, "I liked the defensive play of Lindzey Hanson in the back row. She brought a calming presence to the floor when she was out there."
On the team's overall play the coach said, " It was a fun night. I really thought some of the uncertain things about this team became a lot more clear tonight.
"The serve receive group of Cervantes, Beckius, Brandts, and Reckow really looked pretty good. We still can improve, but it was a great start."
Julia Beckius got seven of the team's 21 kills. Liz Reckow had four and Hedlund, Bottem and Cervantes had three each.
As will most likely be the case for the next two years, Emily was the assist leader. She had 21 of the team's 22 assists.
On the serving part of the game Coach Chapin said, "I really liked the aggressive serving with the 20 aces we had."
Several of the Saints had great success serving the ball. Overall the team had a serving percentage of .844. Emily was 13 for 13, Lindzey served at .917 and Allison and Julia served at .889. Allison and Julia had six aces each. Liz and Lindzey had three aces each. The Saints had 20 total aces.
Besides serving well, the Saints displayed an ability to play long points if necessary. The Saints were able to keep the ball alive and usually won those points.
In the digs category, Julia and Lindzey had five each and Allison had four. The team had a total of 25 digs.
Katy Hedlund had two solo blocks and a block assist. Emily and Allison each had four block assists.
Coach Chapin said, "It was nice to see a net presence with several blocks and that forced a real change to the offense of the Cardinals."
Julia Beckius led the Saints in the number of successful service receptions with eight and a percentage of .889. Allison was perfect with seven for seven. Brenda Cervantes had four receptions, Liz Reckow had three and Kaleigh Evans had two receptions.
Summing up the first game of the season the head coach said, "Overall it was a great team effort.
"Lots of things to work on, but it was a fun way to start the season."

Boonville's Radio Shack to close Feb. 9
After 16 years of owning and operating Boonville's Radio Shack, Mark Livingston has decided it is time to close the store. Livingston said it has been hard to compete with online purchases that can be much cheaper than purchasing them at his store. Livingston will focus on satellite installation, and installation of other electronic devices. The store's last day will be February 9.
"We have studied our business model for some time and have come to the conclusion that right now is not a good time to be in the retail electronics business. All retailers are seeing more customers shopping online," Livingston said.
This entire week, Livingston has marked down all items in the store at 50 percent off as he tries to sell everything in stock. By Wednesday afternoon a number of items have been sold out but the store by no means is empty.
As for many businesses in Boonville, Livingston offered a personalized experience, helping an individual find whatever they needed.
What inventory that does remain after the February 9 closing will be sold at an auction in March.
Livingston will work full time what he has been doing on a part time basis.
"I will continued to do my Dish Network installation and wiring, sales and services," Livingston said.
"I enjoy being able to go out into the community and people's homes, and helping them solve whatever problems they may have," Livingston said. "I enjoy having the flexibility of being out and about."
Livingston will said he will miss the people he sees at the store the most.
"I have enjoyed meeting everyone and doing what I am doing. It was just time to make a change," he said

TRAINING: I wake up at 7 am Monday to Saturday and my day consists of 2-3 sessions throughout each day. I have a set schedule that mixes up sparring, wrestling, strength & conditioning, jiu-jitsu and pad work. The intensity of the sessions varies; everything is planned for peak performance when fight day comes.
When and why did you start training for fighting? Van Damme influenced me a lot, and where I was living you had to defend yourself from the other kids. I started martial arts when I was around seven years old. At the age of 14, soccer became my life and not until the age of 22 did I find MMA.

"Wise men" hand over report on situation of the EU road transport market
Gradual opening of domestic road transport markets to cabotage should be considered as a key step towards completing the Single European Transport Area says a report handed over to Vice-President Kallas today. The High Level Group on the situation of the EU internal market for road haulage, chaired by Prof Brian T Bayliss, identifies the main obstacles as well as a series of recommendations in the field of road transport to the creation of a Single European Transport Area.
What is road cabotage?
Cabotage is the domestic transport of goods in a country by a haulier registered in another country. The rules on cabotage and access to the international road transport market for EU registered and other carriers are laid out in Regulation 1072/20091.
What are the current rules?
According to the Regulation, hauliers may carry goods without restrictions from their country to another or between two Member States, even if these Member States are not their country of registration.
Hauliers are however still limited when they wish to go from one point to another in a Member State other than the one where they are registered. In this case, called cabotage, hauliers are restricted to three transport operations in the seven days following an unloaded international carriage. These rules have been applied since May 2010.
What is the problem?
The EU road haulage market is dealing with a series of problems such as:
What is the High Level Group proposing?
The High Level Group is proposing a flexible and gradual opening of national road transport markets, to be flanked by measures to restore the attractiveness of the sector, ensure that rules are applied fairly and that innovation can be promoted. In particular, the Group recommends that two different types of cabotage be introduced:
What are the benefits?
The High Level Group considers that this set of measures would allow a step-by-step opening of the market, increasing flexibility of operations and competition in national markets, whilst ensuring fair competition and avoiding a 'race to the bottom' in social norms. More flexibility would allow hauliers and shippers to optimise fleet management and reduce empty runs, thereby reducing emissions and fuel consumption whilst improving the competitiveness of the overall economy which relies on efficient logistics.
What are the next steps?
The Commission will consider the High Level Group's conclusions in its own report on the situation of the EU road haulage market, to be published in 2013. On the basis of this report, the Commission may also present a legislative proposal to review Regulation 1072/2009.

We've rolled through the National League East, West and Central divisions, identifying players to shy away from in fantasy baseball drafts for the 2013 season. Now it's on to the American League. Let's get started in the East ...Nate McLouth, OF, OriolesMcLouth finished strong with the Orioles last season, batting .268/.342/.435 with seven home runs, 18 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 55 games after being released by the lowly Pirates in late May. It was a glimpse of the old McLouth, and the fact that he's only 31 years old certainly works in the favor of this being a legitimate comeback tale. But we'll wait for the paperback edition. McLouth had a .210/.322/.328 batting line between the start of 2010 and end of 2011 with the Braves. He homered just 10 times in 609 plate appearances over that span and stole only 11 bases in 15 attempts. McLouth was given a one-year, $2 million free agent contract by the Baltimore front office this winter and is expected to serve as the Orioles' primary leadoff man in 2013. But you can find a much safer bet for production at fantasy baseball's deepest position.Adam Lind, DH, Blue JaysLind told reporters last week that his struggles in 2012 can be attributed to a miscommunication between (former) Blue Jays manager John Farrell -- who was preaching patience -- and (former) Blue Jays hitting coach Dwayne Murphy -- who was asking Lind to be aggressive at the plate. But that sounds more like a convenient excuse than anything. Lind has posted a .246 batting average and .296 on-base percentage in 1,508 plate appearances dating back to the start of the 2010 season. Which leaves his breakout 2009 campaign as a serious outlier in what has been a disappointing overall major league career. Lind continues to get chances with the Jays, but they have their sights set firmly on the playoffs this year and are likely to make a quick change at designated hitter if Lind can't get it together. J.P. Arencibia is the better option at DH.
Clay Buchholz, SP, Red SoxBuchholz was a force in 2010 when he posted a 17-7 record, a 2.33 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP over 173 2/3 innings for the Red Sox. But he was limited to 82 2/3 frames in 2011 because of a structural issue with his lower back and posted an underwhelming 4.56 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 189 1/3 innings in 2012. That one successful season has kept him in high regard and he's sure to be selected at some point in most standard mixed fantasy leagues this spring, but we would let another owner take that plunge. Buchholz struck out just 6.1 batters per nine innings last season -- a lower rate than guys like Jason Marquis and Jerome Williams -- and his career K/9 in the major leagues is just 6.7. If a pitcher's ERA and WHIP aren't exceptional and he can't provide value in strikeouts, that pitcher is going to carry little worth in leagues with normal fantasy scoring. And it's too difficult to predict win totals right now in Boston.
For more expert analysis and a range of awesome features, check out the 2013 Rotoworld Online Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide. And put your fantasy baseball league in good hands with our friends at Yahoo!
Luke Scott, DH, RaysScott slugged 14 home runs and tallied 55 RBI in just 96 games last season for Tampa Bay. Extrapolate that out to a normal full-season workload and you have an impressive set of counting stats. But let's dig a bit deeper. Scott owns a paltry .226 batting average and .291 on-base percentage in 580 plate appearances since the start of the 2011 campaign and has totaled 134 strikeouts in that span. He does not possess good plate discipline and he's not a great contact hitter, which leaves him exposed to pitchers that have enough control to take advantage of his cold zones and keep him off balance in the box. Scott will catch a few and send them flying, but his power comes in inconsistent stretches and he doesn't carry enough position flexibility in standards fantasy formats to make that inconsistency palatable. The Rays gave him a one-year, $2.75 million free agent contract this winter and are going to start him at DH this season. We wouldn't do the same in a mixed fantasy league.John Lackey, SP, Red SoxLackey is fully recovered from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and ready to return to the Red Sox starting rotation after missing the entire 2012 campaign But it's hard to be all that excited for what's ahead. Lackey registered a brutal 6.41 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 160 innings for Boston in 2011 and a 4.40 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 215 innings in 2010. In all, he has a 5.26 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 375 innings since leaving Anaheim for a five-year, $82.5 million free agent contract following the 2009 season. Lackey has been a bona fide fantasy ace in the past, but he's not even worth drafting in mixed fantasy leagues this spring. The 34-year-old right-hander will have to string together several productive starts to warrant a waiver wire pickup.James Loney, 1B, RaysThis one is pretty obvious, but Loney carries a good deal of name recognition and that can sometimes lead to a late-round pick in casual fantasy drafts. Don't be that guy. Mock that guy. Loney lucked into a couple of high-RBI seasons during his time with Los Angeles, but he's a .269/.322/.386 hitter since the beginning of the 2010 season and he has reached the 15-homer plateau just once in his seven-year major league career. The 28-year-old first baseman tallied just six homers and 41 RBI in 144 games between the Dodgers and Red Sox last year. Loney scored a one-year, $2 million contract from the Rays this winter and is going to have an everyday job when the season opens. But we're betting it doesn't last long.Ricky Romero, SP, Blue JaysRomero boasts a nice arsenal of pitches and has been dominant at times over the course of his young four-year career. But he's a wild pitcher with a run of recent injuries and we don't love that combo. Romero walked 105 batters in just 181 innings last year for Toronto and owns a troubling 3.9 BB/9 since breaking into the majors during the 2009 season. He also had arthroscopic elbow surgery on his left (throwing) elbow in late October and received platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his knees last summer. The 28-year-old southpaw has ample talent and many believers, which is why he's being hailed as a potential fantasy sleeper in certain circles. But it's not necessary to take such risks when putting together a strong 2013 fantasy rotation. The position is strong enough this year and you're better off spending late-round picks on younger, healthier fliers.

Hi Everyone!
I thought I would post this reminder of our next upcoming Genealogy Program at the Schaumburg Township District Library.
There is no pre-registration required in order to attend the program. There is no fee charged to attend. Anyone can attend this program. You do not have to be a library card holder with the Schaumburg Township District Library in order to attend.
Here are the details of our upcoming program for Tuesday evening, April 12, 2011:
The Genealogy program will be held on Tuesday, April 12,2011 at 7:30 PM in the 2nd floor Classroom. The guest speaker for the evening will be Robin Seidenberg. Robin will present a program titled "Mining for Gold – Online Historical Newspapers".
Newspaper research should always be considered by the genealogical researcher. Today's world of expanding digital newspapers that allows us to more easily search is an even more important resource to consider to use to discover the stories of our ancestors. Robin will give us some tips on where to find these resources and how to best use these online newspapers.
Robin is a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild. Robin currently serves as executive vice president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois and president of Lake County Area Computer Enthusiasts. She has been studying her family history since 1997.

As far as the joke goes, "kids today are exposed to so much crazy shit that their parents don't know about," it's basically the same as when SMBC did it two years ago (at some point someone should catalog all the times xkcd has had the same joke as SMBC and put it in one place.)
That said, the joke is executed about as well as can be. Some people were criticizing the phrasing etc, but I actually think - given the gross terribleness of a kid talking about double penetration - the writing is not bad on this one. The word "gosh!" at the end is important, it serves to portray the child as a pinnacle of innocence, and contrast with the clearly not innocent sentence he's just said. The only text that doesn't feel right is the father's; if you are embarrassed by something or at least want to keep it secret, I think saying "no don't look at that!" or "give that back!" is more likely than "I am going to say exactly what this thing is, for the benefit of outside readers looking in on my life!" But I guess that's what happens when you have to explain through text what you have drawn.
Kirk will be writing the next post (unless things go horribly wrong) which is good because I need a day to catch up with all the commenting and e-mailing and such that have been happening around these parts.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Day two of the NCAA East Preliminary Round meet in Jacksonville, Fla., concluded with junior Elizabeth Kerpon advancing in the women's open 200.
Kerpon, a native of Coppell, Texas, automatically qualified for Saturday's 200m semifinal with a third-place finish in the sixth and final heat of the competition. Kerpon, Duke's school record holder at the distance, clocked a time of 23.77.
By advancing, Kerpon has an opportunity to qualify for the national championship in Eugene, Ore. The top three finishers in each heat, as well as the next three fastest times, advance to the NCAA Championship. Kerpon is slated to compete in the second of three heats at 7:50 p.m.
Earlier in the day, sophomore Megan Clark nearly qualified for her first NCAA Outdoor Championship meet, placing 14th with a clearance of 13-7.25 (4.15). Clark faced her share of adversity during the competition. After clearances at 12-9.50 (3.90), 13-3.50 (4.05) and 13-7.25 (4.15), inclement weather postponed the competition.
While warming up for the restart of the event, Clark's pole snapped. After collecting herself, Clark made three attempts at 13-9.25 (4.20), but was unable to clear the height. The Fort Benning, Ga., native concludes the season with both the outdoor and indoor school records in the pole vault.
In the 800, sophomore Anima Banks placed sixth in her heat and 14th overall, falling two positions shy of the NCAA qualifying standard. Banks, who clocked a time of 2:06.00, advanced to the semifinal of competition with a time of 2:06.81 in the preliminary round Thursday.
The Blue Devils return to competition at noon with the men's pole vault.

The Boulder County Sheriff's Office this afternoon lifted a fire ban that previously applied to a vast portion of the county's western foothills.
Recent rainfall and cool temperatures have resulted in conditions that are closer to normal for this time of year, according to a news release from the sheriff's office that announced the end of the ban.
Additionally, the long-term forecast indicates continued moisture that should result in higher fuel moisture that should significantly limit a large wildfire's ability to grow, officials say.
Sheriff Joe Pelle enacted the ban in mid-June, citing high temperatures and dry conditions across Colorado at the time.
The ban, which prohibited all open sources of fire, including cigarettes, covered all unincorporated Boulder County areas bordered by Colo. 93 and U.S. 36 to the east and Colo. 72 to the west between Coal Creek Canyon Drive to the south and South St. Vrain Drive to the north.
The town of Lyons also has rescinded its fire ban, according to the sheriff's office.
Permits are still required to burn slash piles or perform broadcast burns in Boulder County. Permits can be obtained online or in person at Boulder County Sheriff's Office headquarters, 5600 Flatiron Parkway, Boulder, CO, 80301.

Falcons earn back-to-back state finals appearances
The script is similar, but Constantine fans are hoping for a rewrite of the final scene as the Falcons face Ithaca for the second consecutive season in the Division 6 state finals 4:30 p.m. Friday.
The Yellowjackets took advantage of some Constantine miscues in the second half to turn a tie game at halftime into a 42-14 win to capture their second consecutive state title.
"We put the ball on the carpet too many times in the second half," Falcon coach Shawn Griffith said.
Constantine (11-2, just like last year) had seven fumbles, but only lost one, which turned into a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
A recovery came on a critical fourth down play that resulted in a loss of yardage and a turnover on downs. Two plays later, Ithaca (13-0, just like last year) was in the end zone with a 21-14 lead and the Yellowjackets started to pull away.
The turnovers could have been because of the magnitude of the contest.
"We've done a much better job of focusing this year," Griffith said of this weeks' practices. "Last year, we were hyped up to play in the finals. This year it's not just playing in (the game), it's playing for a state championship."
Senior quarterback Tommy Reed missed last years' game with an injury. Junior Andres Montoya filled in for Reed.
"He battled as well as he could, the game was 14-14 at halftime," Griffith said. "We need to maintain drives and put points on the board."
The uncertainty may have also been an issue.
"We were still 'Is he playing or not?'," Griffith added.
The Falcons believe that Reed will be able to exploit some things they saw in last years' final.
"They've got to have better play on defense than last year, there's some things we can do to take advantage," Griffith said. "Tommy will see those things and can be a difference maker."
The quarterback position is also the key for the Yellowjackets, behind junior Travis Smith, who has one state title under his belt. He has thrown for 39 touchdowns and run for another 14.
"He's the guy you've got to concentrate on, running and throwing," Griffith said.
Constantine's defense will also need a better effort to end the Yellowjackets 41-game winning streak and quest for a third straight championship.
"We didn't tackle well last year," Griffith said. "We did a good job reading keys and made some big plays in the first half and early in the second."
Ithaca spread teams out and attempts to take advantage of their skill in the open field.
"We need to play better in space," Griffith said. "You'll be in trouble if you can't play in space against them."
The Yellowjackets haven't seen the Wing-T in a year and Griffith hopes the lack a familiarity for them, and the confidence the Falcons have for it, will allow for some good drives.
"They haven't seen our offense since last years' final," he said. "We have to have success running the ball and controlling the clock."
Keeping the game close could also be in the Falcons favor, as Ithaca has had quite a few blowouts.
"Other than Shelby and Carrollton, they haven't had to put up much of a fight against most teams," Griffith said. "Some teams were close at halftime."
The Shelby game was last week's semifinal contest, which Ithaca won 31-14.
"They were able to intercept them three times," Griffith said of the Tigers defense.
Ithaca defeated Carrollton, 33-21, in week six. Other than that, the Yellowjackets have won by at least 28 points in every other contest. The have scored 638 points, while allowing 83.
"Their offense compares to Watervliet because of all the weapons," Griffith said. "The defense compares to Schoolcraft, but bigger. They're physical and run to the ball. It presents some difficult challenges for us."
Constantine has a nearly 2-1 margin scoring 593 points this season, while allowing 299.

HTML5-based games development and optimization company Ludei has announced 3D support for its game development platform. The resultant technology proposition here is the potential for developers to deliver WebGL 3D games to "virtually" any mobile device.

- Overview: Cloud Operations Platfom for AWS
ReportsMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
"We've already made HTML5 cross-platform 2D game development a reality," said Ludei CEO Eneko Knorr. "Now we are unlocking the door for the thousands of web game developers who want to publish great 3D games on mobile and reach consumers through the most popular app stores. Our 3D rendering allows today's most popular mobile devices to run a 3D HTML5 game with the same great user experience and performance that native gamers are used to."
NOTE: Ludei will support 3D game development via the open WebGL standard. WebGL is the browser equivalent of OpenGL, the industry standard for deploying 3D animated games.
The kronos.org specification for WebGL is as follows, "WebGL is an immediate mode 3D rendering API designed for the Web. It is derived from OpenGL ES 2.0, and provides similar rendering functionality, but in an HTML context. WebGL is designed as a rendering context for the HTML
Canvas element. The HTML
Canvas provides a destination for programmatic rendering in web pages, and allows for performing that rendering using different rendering APIs. The only such interface described as part of the
Canvas specification is the 2D canvas rendering context,
CanvasRenderingContext2D. This document describes another such interface,
WebGLRenderingContext, which presents the WebGL API."
The addition of 3D rendering on the Ludei platform means (for the first time) that WebGL runs on every iOS and Android device, so developers don't have to worry about which devices currently have built-in 3D support to handle their complex HTML5 mobile animated games. Ludei says that today, 3D game developers, including those that historically publish console and PC games, can use its technology to deliver their 3D titles cross-platform to Google Play, Apple App Store, and elsewhere.
Supported destinations currently include the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon NOOK, Chrome, and FirefoxOS markets, as well as Pokki and Intel AppUp.

- 2 CU-Boulder students arrested for feeding pot brownies to classmates, professor
Arraignments for the the two University of Colorado students accused of sickening a professor and seven classmates with pot-infused brownies in December were delayed at a hearing in Boulder District Court Friday morning.
Thomas Riccardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19, are now scheduled for arraignment on 18 felony charges each on March 1. Both of them are free on $5,000 bond and are out of state. Their respective lawyers entered appearances on their behalf after Cunningham and Essa had their appearances Friday waived by Judge Roxanne Bailin.
According to police and court records, Cunningham and Essa brought marijuana-laced brownies to their history class as part of "bring food day," but did not tell anyone else in the class that the brownies were laced with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
Later that day, assistant professor Celine Dauverd and several students complained of symptoms including dizziness, anxiety and loss of consciousness. Dauverd and two students were hospitalized after ingesting the brownies.
CU police said both Cunningham and Essa subsequently admitted the brownies contained marijuana.
Both were charged with with eight counts of second-degree assault and eight counts of inducing the consumption of a controlled substance. The also face one count each of conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to induce consumption of a controlled substance because they are alleged to have worked together.
Each of the second-degree assault charges, Class 4 felonies, carries a possible prison sentence of two to six years, while the inducing consumption of a controlled substance charges and the conspiracy charges, all Class 5 felonies, carry possible prison sentences of one to three years each.

Look at that: Another year, another birthday for me, as much as I hate being predictable. One thing you learn about being born on this date is that it's the day before JFK's assassination, as it is always in the news around now. The other thing you learn is that the 22nd is the earliest day that can be Thanksgiving in the U.S., and this is one of those years. This isn't a big problem, and it certainly wasn't like a kid born near Christmas as I grew up, but it does mean that my celebration today will include such choice moments as cleaning bathrooms and bathing doggies to prepare for company tomorrow.

Cal women beat Kansas
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Layshia Clarendon scored a season-high 28 points, one of five California players in double figures, and the eighth-ranked Golden Bears beat No. 19 Kansas 88-79 on Friday night. Gennifer Brandon added 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Golden Bears (9-1), who matched the best start in school history. Talia Caldwell made all five of her shots and had 12 points. Reshanda Gray added 13 and Afure Jemerigbe scored 10. Angel Goodrich had 21 points to lead the Jayhawks (9-2), who were playing their third road game. Carolyn Davis added 16 points, Natalie Knight had 13 and Chelsea Gardner 12. Brittany Boyd sank a layup in the final seconds of the first half, giving Cal a 42-35 lead at the break. It was the most points allowed by Kansas in a half this season. The Golden Bears, who have started the same five players in every game, used an 11-0 run to overcome a strong Kansas start and open a seven-point edge. Both teams shot better than 50 percent in the first half. Cal took advantage of its 12 offensive rebounds for a 16-6 advantage in second-chance points. Kansas played its 94th game against a Pac-12 opponent, although 88 have been against former Big 12 rival Colorado. The Jayhawks have played Cal more often than any other Pac-12 foe aside from the Buffaloes. The Jayhawks, who last played the Golden Bears five years ago, fell to 2-19 under coach Bonnie Henrickson against teams ranked in the top 10. Cal leads the series between the schools 4-1.

A first-degree murder charge was filed Monday against a 35-year-old Glenwood man in connection with the death of his infant son.
In October, Jason Mathew Curtis was initially charged with child endangerment, neglect of a dependent person and willful injury after investigators from the Glenwood Police Department and Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation determined he was responsible for the July 14 death of his 5-month-old son, Jackson.
According to court filings, Jason Curtis and his son were alone in the home he shares with Chrissy Vyborny and their children on the morning of July 14, when he called the Mills County E-911 center, stating his son Jackson was not, or was barely, breathing. Jackson was found unresponsive with no heartbeat or pulse and his skin a bluish color by first responders from Glenwood Fire and Rescue. Jackson was taken to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs where he was pronounced dead at 11:44 a.m.
While at the hospital, Jason Curtis stated Jackson was being treated for an upper respiratory infection and the medication was causing him to react negatively. Jason Curtis went on to say he gave Jackson his medication that morning, fed him and laid him down for a nap. When he went to check on his son some time later he said he found Jackson barely or not breathing at all.
After Jackson was pronounced dead, a CT scan was taken of his head, and doctors identified areas of hemorrhaging on the outside of his brain consistent with injuries of child abuse delivered by an adult.
The Iowa Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy of Jackson. The cause of death was found to be head injuries and the manner of death was ruled homicide.
At the time of the July 2011 incident, Curtis Jackson was on a two-year supervised probation for an incident that happened in July 2010 with his then four-month-old daughter, In that incident, Curtis and Chrissy Vyborny, the biological parents of the girl, pleaded guilty to charges of child endangerment resulting in serious injury, a Class C felony.

Through the month of December the art of Granite Falls resident Tamara Isfeld will be displayed at the K.K. Berge Gallery.
An opening night reception will be held this Friday, December 7 from 7:00 to p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Through the month of December the art of Granite Falls resident Tamara Isfeld will be displayed at the K.K. Berge Gallery.
An opening night reception will be held this Friday, December 7 from 7:00 to p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Isfeld says that she has always known that art would play a definitive role in her life. As a youth she initially attended school for commercial art before returning two decades later to obtain a degree in Arts Education. Over the past 10 years she has taught in the public school system and is presently the art instructor for Renville County West.
Isfeld works through multiple mediums including graphic art and sculpture, but primarily she expresses herself through acrylic paint.
"Most of my work has a relation to place––rural farm scenes remembered while growing up in southwestern Minnesota and also time spent living in South Dakota. I'm influenced from personal human experience as a daughter, wife and mother," she said.
Isfeld's artistic talents have also been employed by a number of local institutions. A few examples include the Granite Falls Kiwanis Club and Clarkfield Area Charter School who commissioned her to design and paint the Kiwanis popcorn stand as well as the CACS gym, respectively.
Isfeld has dubbed gallery showing "God's Whisper" as a tribute to the moments of peace experienced during her artistic journey while creating with "a clear mind and sense of spiritual purpose."
"Typically a walk in nature gives me the inspiration for the works, and I prefer to blend this with the common everyday human experience, showing moments that are often taken for granted," she said. "I hope you can take a moment during this busy holiday season to hear the whisper through my paintings."
Following Saturday's opening night reception, Isfeld's works will be available for perusal and/or purchase during regularly scheduled gallery hours, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

A study led by researchers at the University of Colorado has determined that the pace of planet warming in the first decade of this century was slowed by volcanic activity, and not by industrial activity in Asia, as was previously believed.
Previous research in 2009 had suggested that an increase in stratospheric aerosols tied to a 60 percent increase in sulfur dioxide emissions over China and India had negated about 25 percent of the global warming that scientists attribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
That cooling effect occurs when sulfur dioxide emissions rise 12 to 20 miles to the stratospheric aerosol layer of the atmosphere. There, chemical reactions create sulfuric acid and water particles that reflect sunlight back into space.
Now, research led by study author Ryan Neely, conducted as part of his doctoral thesis at CU, has shown that global warming from 2000 to 2010 was tamped down by sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions, not industrial emissions in China and India, where such activity has greatly increased in recent years.
"It's good to know this is coming from volcanoes; its a natural thing, and it's not something we're doing as a planet," said Neely, who is now a post-doctoral fellow in the advanced study program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
The 10-year window addressed by the study did not see massive activity on the scale of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, which erupted in 1991 in the second-largest volcanic event of the 20th century. Still, there was sufficient volcanic activity in the 2000s from the tropics to Alaska that made an impact in the stratosphere.
The new research piggybacks on a 2011 study led by Susan Solomon, a former scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who is now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which showed that stratospheric aerosols -- without isolating their source -- offset about one-quarter of the greenhouse-effect warming of Earth in the past 10 years.
To determine what was contributing to that, Neely said he realized, "You couldn't do it from observations alone. It's all intermingled, and you can't separate the two sources easily. It was going to take a very specialized model that no one has done before."
CU's Janus supercomputer was pressed into service to conduct seven computer runs, each of them simulating 10 years of atmospheric activity linked to both coal-burning activities in Asia and to volcanic emissions around the world.
Each run required about a week of computer time, utilizing 192 processors, enabling the team to isolate coal-burning pollution in Asia from aerosol contributions tied to volcanic eruptions.
Neely said the work would have taken a single computer about 25 years to complete.
The fact that the emissions from industrial activity on the other side of the planet is not affecting temperature fluctuations tied to particulates in the stratosphere, Neely said, does not mean that all those human-caused emissions are good for the environment.
"A lot of people would take it that way," he said, "but it's bad for other reasons -- for acid rain reasons, and just for putting pollution into the atmosphere, and not to mention all the carbon dioxide they're emitting, when they burn all the coal," he said.
In a news release, study co-author and CU professor Brian Toon said, "The biggest implication here is that scientists need to pay more attention to small and moderate volcanic eruptions, when trying to understand changes in Earth's climate.
"But overall, these eruptions are not going to counter the greenhouse effect. Emissions of volcanic gases go up and down, helping to cool or heat the planet, while greenhouse gas emissions from human activity just continue to go up."

BOULDER -- Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett won't pursue further investigation of complaints that Boulder County commissioners have illegally been trying to intimidate voters to get them to support a property tax-supported subdivision roads paving district.
As many as a dozen rural residential subdivision residents have alleged -- in complaints filed with the Colorado Secretary of State's Office and reviewed by Garnett's office -- that the commissioners have committed that misdemeanor crime.
That intimidation, according to those complaints, came in county letters and brochures sent to more than 10,900 subdivision property owners about a proposed property tax that the county says would cover most of the costs of rehabilitating unincorporated Boulder County's deteriorating paved residential subdivision roads and would pay for the ongoing costs of keeping those roads in good shape.
On Wednesday, however, Garnett wrote the people who'd filed complaints that "after carefully reviewing the alleged facts and applicable law, my office has concluded that, for a variety of reasons governing prosecutorial discretion in Colorado, no criminal charges are appropriate in this matter."
Vincent Hirsch, who lives on 1023 Deer Trail Road and who -- along with his wife Linda -- was one of the people who'd filed the formal complaints -- said of Garnett's position: "I knew that was going to happen."
Another of the complainants -- Milton Marasch, of 144 Sentinel Rock Lane -- said he'd gotten an email from the Colorado Attorney General's Office that such issues are a matter of local governments' jurisdiction, and not the state's.
"We recommend continuing to work with the appropriate local agencies to resolve this matter," the attorney general's staff wrote Marasch on July 29.
Marasch, who said he's lived in the Boulder Heights subdivision for about 28 years, also sent a letter about the repaving controversy to Gov. John Hickenlooper's office, "although I haven't heard back from them."
Marasch said Thursday: "I'm not sure what to do next ... It looks like nobody in the state is looking out for the people in the state."
Garnett said Thursday that he and his staff had looked into the complainants' objection to the commissioners' position that if voters don't approve the proposed permanent subdivision paving public improvement district and the new property tax levy, the commissioners will go ahead and create a local improvement district.
A LID would last for only 15 years, but affected subdivision properties would be charged annual fees to cover road rehabilitation costs over that 15-year period.
The complainants said in materials submitted to the Secretary of State's Office in July that the Boulder County commissioners "are attempting to intimidate the voters" by stating that the LID would be formed if voters don't approve the PID taxing proposal.
Garmett said Thursday, however, that he and his staff had concluded that the commissioners' stated plans don't amount to "something the criminal justice system can help with" and shouldn't be prosecuted under the state's voter intimidation law.
He said the state law is intended to deal with "threats of force or other improper threats" that might "keep someone from actually exercising their right to vote."
Hirsch, who said he's lived in the Boulder Heights subdivision for almost 32 years, said that in the wake of Garnett's decision, "the strategy we should take as homeowners is to vote it (the property tax-supported PID) down."
Then, Hirsch said, "whey they try to impose an LID, we'll sue them."
Marasch complained that the commissioners "are refusing to even think about" funding subdivision rehabilitation from elsewhere in the county budget.
The original election complaints against Commissioners Cindy Domenico, Deb Gardner and Elise Jones were filed with the Secretary of State's Office on July 19. On Aug. 5, Stafanie Mann from that office's Elections Division wrote the complainants that they were alleging a criminal violation, something the secretary of state doesn't have the authority to investigate, and that the Boulder County District Attorney's Office "is best equipped to investigate this complaint."
Mann sent copies of her letter to the Boulder County District Attorney's Office, and Garnett wrote the complainants that his office had received their letters requesting the investigation.
Garnett wrote in his Wednesday letter that his decision against pursuing a criminal investigation "is final," although he wrote the complainants that "I understand that you may not agree with that decision."
He said that if the complainants want to challenge his decision, they can, under state law, seek a Boulder District Court judge's review of the complaints and the DA's refusal to prosecute.
Colorado's voter intimidation statute says it's illegal "for any person, directly or indirectly, by himself or by any other person in his behalf, to impede, prevent or otherwise interfere with the free exercise of the elective franchise of any elector or to compel, induce or prevail upon any elector either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election ... or to give or refrain from giving his vote for any particular person or measure at any such election."
Anyone convicted of violating that voter intimidation law could be fined up to $1,000, or ordered to serve up to one year in jail, or sentenced to both a fine and a jail term.
Said Garnett: "Nobody should ever hesitate to file a complaint with my office on anything, and whenever we get a complaint, we will review it very thoroughly, as we did in this case."
Boulder County commissioners are scheduled to decide on Sept. 3 whether to put the public improvement district property tax proposal on the Nov. 5 election ballot.

Public Service Commission grants rate increase.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri's Public Service Commission announced Wednesday it had approved a $260 million rate increase for Ameren Missouri in its latest rate case.
The average Ameren customer will see an increase of about $10 per month on their bills.
According to a release from the PSC, the case "marks the state's historic transition from an electric system based on load growth to one founded on energy efficiency and new resources."
The rate approval implements various efficiency changes contained in Senate Bill 376, also known as the Missouri Energy Efficiency Act.
Ameren had sought about $115 million more in its initial filing. The PSC decision also includes $89 million in various programs and incentives aimed to reduce costs on customer bills.
