The Sleepy Eye girls cross country team won the Conference Championship on Oct. 15 in Winthrop.
The boys and girls teams traveled to Winthrop Golf Course to compete in a cold, rainy, but successful Conference Meet.
The girls team won the Conference Championship, after eighth grader Brianna Polesky finished first place while Mary Joyce finished second place in the race. The team took first with 25 points while MVL and SCMC took second and third. Polesky's finish also earned her the Conference MVP award. Both Jenny Lax and Cassidy Hacker earned All Conference honors by finishing fifth and seventh. Meanwhile, Emily Schumacher earned All Conference Honorable Mention by placing tenth.
For the boys, junior Stephen Joyce put it into high gear over the final half mile to move from fifth and finish third in the race, which puts him on the All Conference team. Joyce led the Sleepy Eye boys to a third place finish among the four teams.
"I was very pleased with the effort shown by all of our runners," Coach Scott DeMaris said. "It was a great time for Brianna to capture her first win in a cross country race. The third place finish for Stephen is his highest ever in a varsity race as well."
Previously, the Sleepy Eye cross country team traveled to Madelia Golf Course on Oct. 10 to compete in one of the last meets of the season.
It was a sunny, 75-degree day where eight area teams ran the mostly flat course at the golf club. The Sleepy Eye girls team took fourth place overall. Polesky led the pack with a nine-place finish out of 84 runners. Her time was 17:04 for the 4K course. The next four finishers were Hacker, Schumacher, Mariah Salfer and Lax. The four ran well together and Salfer had her best race so far this season.
For the boys, junior Stephen Joyce ran the 5K in a time of 19:21,which got him a 28th place finish. The boys took seventh place out of eight teams.

Having a great time playing as She-Ra. I really hope they continue with the updates.
Voted for Evil-lyn.
Everyone needs...must go vote for Evil-Lyn.
Hsss should not be a boss over Evil-Lyn, Skeletor's #1 lieutenant. Hsss was not even in Filmation, THE media for MOTU.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
Hsss and the Snake Men were in MYP, which this game takes some influence from. You even fight MYP Snake Men in this game.

I voted for Evil-Lyn! I want all three villains in the game though...and more!
I agree with some comments I saw too, that it would be nice if She-Ra had Madame Razz and Broom instead of Orko. I would also like them to hide Lookie in each level too, which you have to find and would give you some She-Ra lore. That would be awesome!
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
But Evil-Lyn has been in all media forms from both cartoons to comics, and the feature film. That's makes her more worthy if a spot in this game over 2nd tier villain like Hsss. Not to mention that the game is a bit of a sausage feast, She-ra helps but more females are needed.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
I imagine Evil-Lyn just floating around and throwing magic spells as weapons.
I imagine Hiss will have a cool transformation sequence and striking snakes coming out of his body.
Hiss gets my vote.
"I reject your Prince Adam and replace him with the original barbarian from the jungle."

Man...I so want to play.
This really gives me hope for a console release. She-Ra & a new boss just make the game bigger, which would justify the more expensive price tag. PSN sure isn't going to sell it for a buck. Just a few more updates, c'mon! I really want to play this with a controller.

Begging someone to post some pictures of She-Ra, Swifty and the Crystal Castle in this thread. I don't have an Ipad. Can I download it for a regular Mac laptop?

She -ra Glitch , I was playing trying to remember about jumping to a certain area and end up and over a wall or something. Had to Run all way to the end stuck in the ceiling , then I was able to get out. Now I know for in Mario this was cool, I was kinda sad I missed a whole level, lol all is good just had to replay it.
I hope its Classics Hiss and not that Egypto-Hiss...

Every time I try to play as She-Ra the game crashes and boots me out. Anyone have the same problem?
Please watch my videos!
I've just completed the game as She-Ra - amazing, amazing fun! Lots better than He-Man, IMO. Some of the combos are just awesome. As you get further and further into the game, the backflip becomes really useful, particularly in dodging blows from the skeletons and Horde Troopers. I found the glitter wave really useful against the wizards too.
Real fun gameplay - great touches of nostalgia and completely addictive. I'm hooked!
He-Man on Battlecat next, I presume!

How about just "the AGD .45 frame". Because quality doesn't need a fancy name.
Oh well, maybe I'll win on the random drawing part :-)
Okay... I am incredibly uncreative, so I just want to say something nice about AGD to get entered in the random drawing. As nice as an RT sounds, I love my mini, and a warp and double trigger frame would round it out perfectly. Airgun Designs Rocks!!!
i think the AGD 2x Blade trigger is a good name. u dont really have to have a great name for it as long as it performs well, which im sure it will becuz anything AGD makes performs excellent!
AGD Sickle Grip
Hybrid Species
Double Tail
Blade Runner
Quick Shot
Boost Trigger
Ergo Trigger
Sure Shot
AGD's tirgger frame... nuff said. Seriously though.
Idea:sales pitch
-The speed demon. "even the slowest trigger finger will burn with it..."
-cocker rocker. "Automags forever!"
-Tantalizing trigger times two. "always alliteration for awesome accessories..."
by the way if i "stole" anyone's im sorry, i really didn't want to read ALL of them...
-THE double trigger. "This is it, get one."

heres my nice thing tom! I think you guys are great and i love your products and sevice. when i first got my mag a had 1 question about the bolt. i called up the service line and a got a quick and snappy resoonce with in seconds. i love your company and cant wait to think of next.
ps. tom you invened the lamp shade i had no idea! you see another great innovation form agd!
"your dangerrous!!" -IceMan
AGD Exorcist (it turns heads)
Here are a few I thought up.
Advanced Grip Design
This name is simple, yet speaks for itself. The A Is the key word. Advanced. Advancement in a product is what you would expect from any company, especially a company that keeps its customers in mind when developing high quality products, such as Airgun Designs.
AGD Factory .45 Frame
*edit* Rip-fire Grip This one has a little more Pizazz than my other ones.
I will keep it short and simple, and may add more later.
[This message has been edited by Bigzamboni (edited 07-23-2001).]
Ok Mr. Kaye, you've used this name before, and I doubt many people will remember it...But.....
My ideas are the following
Airgun Designs "Panther 2x Frame" - Speed to the second power (reminds us of AGDs clever beginnings with the panther)
Automag Ino (As in inovation)
Airgun Designs "Lightning" - All that will be seen is paint
Airgun Designs "Firewave" - Fire a wave of paint from your Automag.
Airgun Designs "Speedster" - Run circles around the competition with your new 2x trigger and automag, brand new innovations from AirgunDesigns
Automag "Blitzkrieg" (or blitz) - Suprise your opponents with our new looking trigger frame!
Automag "Frame to the second power" - twice the speed, twice the quality of the compeditors
Automag "dualie" frame - Dual trigger system from AGD! Run over the competition!
Airgun Designs "Engrage" frame - Make your opponents mad at your faster rate of fire from your automag!
Airgun Designs "Photon Frame" - Photons + Warp Feed = speed of paint squared
Airgun Designs "Blade Runner" trigger frame - Blade trigger compatible! Run this new blade trigger around the competition.
Airgun Designs "Predator" trigger frame - Stalk your opponent with twice the quality and twice the pain(t)!
Airgun Designs "Smack" trigger frame - Smack your opponents with new rates of fire!
I can go on and on with ideas for you, Tom! I really really would like one of these ideas to be on your frame because a great frame deserves a great name!
AGD Dream Weaver...i have no clue just popped into my head...
I'm tired of going through all the names posted and decided to do something different.
I like hitman's suggestion of ELF or Enhanced Link Frame. It's descriptive of the product, sticks in the mind and is a fitting salute to the members of AO. You could even call those grips which come with the blade style trigger an "ELF BLADE". Consider this my nomination for hitman to win this contest.
Go with it AGD, I think it's a winner.

The Tom-Tom.
Well my only idea and hopefully it hasent been said yet is the: Tx2 Frame.
Good luck to everyone.
I've always admired AGD's love of the sport and it's players. For example, at every major tourny I've gone to, a bog old Airgun Designs Semi was there, filled with spare parts and friendly techs offering repairs for free. It simply does not get any better than that. I also admire AGD's innovation! The Warp Feed is revolutionizing the way we play paintball........when you want the very best look to Airgun Designs

Antonio Cromartie Deletes Twitter Page So We Can All Have Fun
There are a lot of ways you can interpret Cromartie's last Tweet.
Twitter isn't for everyone and Cromartie has stirred up some controversy for several of his Tweets in the past, so maybe he just doesn't want to put his foot in his mouth anymore.
Ironically, Cromartie deleted his Twitter the same day that Terrell Owens went on Dr. Phil with his multiple baby mamas to argue over Child Support and being a good father.
It led to T.O. looking like this.
T.O. has 4 kids by 4 women, Cromartie has 10 kids by 8 women. Hope he watched T.O. and does a good job managing his finances during his last years in the league, so he isn't the next contestant on that Dr. Phil screen.
Cromartie is now happily married to his wife Terricka (some of her photos below).
Just to think if he never did this on Hard Knocks casual fans maybe would have never learned about Cromartie Kids.

Starts midnightcommander and allows you to detach the console; use ctrl-\ to detach
Then at a later time you can reconnect using
dtach -a /tmp/wires-mc
In my experience dtach works much better for programs like irssi, mutt, mc, aptitude than screen does.
search the newest *.jpg in the directory an make a copy to newest.jpg. Just change the extension to search other files. This is usefull eg. if your webcam saves all pictures in a folder and you like the put the last one on your homepage. This works even in a directory with 10000 pictures.
Using the grep command, retrieve all lines from any log files in /var/log/ that have one of the problem states
This will create a 10 MB file named testfile.txt. Change the count parameter to change the size of the file. As one commenter pointed out, yes /dev/random can be used, but the content doesn't matter if you just need a file of a specific size for testing purposes, which is why I used /dev/zero. The file size is what matters, not the content. It's 10 MB either way. "Random" just referred to "any file - content not specific" Show Sample Output
Makes any files in the current directory (and any sub-directories) group-readable. Using the "! -perm /g=r" limits the number of files to only those that do not already have this property Using "+" on the end of the -exec body tells find to build the entire command by appending all matching files before execution, so invokes chmod once only, not once per file.
Makes it easy to add keys to new ppa sources entries in apt sources.list
Now to add the key for the chromium-daily ppa:
launchpadkey 4E5E17B5
Show Sample Output
Useful if you have to put together multiple files into one and they are scattered across subdirectories. For example: You need to combine all .sql files into one .sql file that would be sent to DBAs as a batch script. You do get a warning if you create a file by the same extension as the ones your searching for. find . -type f -name *.sql -exec cat {} > BatchFile.txt \;
There are two ways to use "here documents" with bash to fill stdin:
The following example shows use with the "bc" command.
a) Using a delimiter at the end of data:
less-than less-than eeooff bc
> k=1024
> m=k*k
> g=k*m
> g
> eeooff
b) using the "inline" verion with three less-than symbols:
less-than less-than less-than "k=1024; m=k*k; g=k*m; g" bc
One nice advantage of using the triple less-than version is that the command can easily be recalled
from command line history and re-executed.
PS: in this "description", I had to use the name "less-than" to represent the less-than symbol because the commandlinefu input text box seems to eat up the real less-than symbols. Odd.
Show Sample Output
You need sysstat and gawk for this to work. Show Sample Output
This set of commands was very convenient for me when I was preparing some xml files for typesetting a book. I wanted to check what styles I had to prepare but coudn't remember all tags that I used. This one saved me from error-prone browsing of all my files. It should be also useful if one tries to process xml files with xsl, when using own xml application.
In the above example all files have 4 lines. In "file1" consecutive lines are: "num, 1, 2, 3", in "file2": "name, Jack, Jim, Frank" and in "file3": "scores, 1300, 1100, 980". This one liner can save considerate ammount of time when you're trying to process serious portions of data. "-d" option allows one to set series of characters to be used as separators between data originating from given files. Show Sample Output
find all email addresses in a file, printing each match. Addresses do not have to be alone on a line etc. For example you can grab them from HTML-formatted emails or CSV files, etc. Use a combination of
to filter them.
Show Sample Output
Search for the string "search" and replace it with the string "replace", on all files with the extension php in the curret folder. Do also a backup of each file with the extension "bkp".
Good for summing the numbers embedded in text - a food journal entry for example with calories listed per food where you want the total calories. Use this to monitor and keep a total on anything that ouputs numbers. Show Sample Output
This command will open up the two files in FileMerge on OS X. You can also compare two directories.
opendiff directory1 directory2
NOTE: FileMerge is a part of the OS X Developer Tools, available on the install disc.
Tells sort to ignore all characters before the Xth position in the first field per line. If you have a list of items one per line and want to ignore the first two characters for sorting purposes, you would type "sort -k1.3". Change the "1" to change the field being sorted. The decimal value is the offset in the specified field to sort by.
If you're users have ever asked your script to email their reports in separate attachments instead of tar'ring them into one file, then you can use this. You'll need the mailx package of course. In Unix you'd want to add an additional parameter "-m" (uuencode foo.txt foo.txt; uuencode /etc/passwd passwd.txt)|mailx -m -s "Hooosa!" firstname.lastname@example.com
Uses process signal to play next selection
Pressing ESC then * will insert in the command line the results of the autocompletion.
It's hard to explain but if you look the sample output or do
echo ESC *
you will understand quickly.
By the way, few reminders about ESC :
- Hold ESC does the same thing as tab tab
- 'ESC .' inserts the last argument of last command (can be done many times in order to get the last argument of all previous commands)
Show Sample Output
curl doesn't provide url-encoding for 'GET' data, it have an option '--data-urlencode', but its only for 'POST' data. Thats why I need to write down this commandline. With 'perl', 'php' and 'python', this is one liner, but just I wrote it for fun. Works in Ubuntu, will work in all linux varients(I hope it will work in unix varients also). Show Sample Output
This will extract all of the urls from a firefox session (including urls in a tab's history). The sessionstore.js file is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/{firefox profile}

The United Way of Leavenworth County Tuesday reported the final result for its 2012 campaign following the end of the organization's fiscal year.
The United Way of Leavenworth County Tuesday reported the final result for its 2012 campaign following the end of the organization's fiscal year.
Nancy Bauder, the executive director for the organization, said the human service agency took in a total of $350,000 this year, falling short of the $390,000 goal it had set before the beginning of the campaign in September 2012.
Bauder said realizing that the campaign was going to fall short was personally disappointing for her, considering the organizations — from Catholic Charities to the Alliance Against Family Violence — that benefit from the United Way.
"Our agencies need so much more," she said.
Bauder said she also had expectations for her second campaign a director, especially given that in her first year, the United Way exceeded its goal of $375,000 with contributions of more than $390,000.
"After we did so well last year, I thought we were going to break $400,000 this year," with early returns outpacing those from 2011, she said.
Bauder said the shortfall should not be perceived as a reflection on the work of volunteers who helped spread the message of what the United Way does to businesses and other organizations. Instead, she said perhaps one of the biggest factors in the decline of contributions this year is what for years has been one of the organization's most reliable funding sources — the Combined Federal Campaign, which is comprised of contributions from federal employees and is collected separately from the Leavenworth County campaign. Bauder said cutbacks in the federal workforce might have led to the decline in CFC contributions this year, though some federal agencies — like the Eisenhower Veterans Affairs Medical Center — saw increased participation.
"Here, it was down by $20,000 to $30,000," she said of the CFC, and reportedly down even more in places like Topeka. "That was huge."
At the local level, however, was something of a silver lining — individual contributions from Leavenworth County residents increased this year over last year by 38 percent. In a letter to the community about the final result, Bauder wrote that payroll deduction contributions among Leavenworth County employees increased 300 percent this year. First State Bank and Trust in Basehor and Frontier Community Credit Union each experienced 100-percent participation in the payroll deduction program.
"The individuals that gave, gave a lot more," she said.
The United Way will recognize those volunteers and contributors during the organization's annual meeting April 10. She said the United Way, which is also now deciding how to allocate the contributions among the more than 20 member human-service agencies in the county, will start to talk about next year. The strategy is likely to mean the United Way will be spreading its fundraising efforts out — continuing to reach out to the communities of the county's southern end and encouraging more companies all over to offer payroll deduction.
"We do kind of know what to expect now," she said.

The No. 12 ranked Luther College Wrestling team improved to 5-1 after posting wins over Waynesburg (PA), No. 3 Messiah (PA) and Elmhurst today at the Gator "Boots" Duals. Luther hosted today's eight team duals at McGavock High School in Nashville, Tennessee. The Norse added an exhibition win over the University of Central Florida club team 40-6 to cap off the afternoon.
The Norse opened the day with a 26-7 win over Waynesburg College, highlighted by major decision victories by No. 6 ranked Evan Obert at 133 and No. 7 ranked Jayden DeVilbiss at 184.
In the second dual of the day, Luther defeated Messiah 28-7. The Norse grabbed the momentum at 125 with an overtime victory by Garrett Wangsness over No. 7 ranked Lucas Malmberg. Luther won eight of the 10 matches, including a come-from-behind fall by DeVilbiss to clinch the victory.
The Norse won nine matches in their final regular dual of the day defeating Elmhurst 37-3. Luther earned bonus points thanks to falls by Obert at 133, Garrett Bonte at 165 and DeVilbiss at 184. Nick Pearch added a major decision victory at 197.
Luther concluded the day by defeating the Central Florida club team 40-6. The Norse received falls from Obert at 133, Dakota Gray at 141, Cody Orr at 149, Eric Moreno at 174 and DeVilbiss at 184. Nick Scheffert earned a major decision at 125.
Because UCF is a club team the victory does not count towards Luther's overall record. The matches do not count towards an individuals season record as well.
Five Luther wrestlers went undefeated today. This group included Wangness at 125 (3-0), Obert at 133 (3-0), Blake Letney at 157 (3-0), Bonte at 165 (3-0), DeVilbiss at 184 (3-0) and Pearch at 197 (3-0).
The Norse have now won five consecutive dual meets and will return to action after the Christmas break at the Knox Duals in Galesburg, Ill., Saturday, Jan. 4.

I'll say it. I'm not scared.
I haven't been overwhelmed with our off season acquisitions.
I'm not that excited about Cassel. I just feel there should have been more pressing needs dealt with first. There were a lot more weaknesses, in my opinion, that should have been addressed. I would have much rather kept our high second round pick.
I feel like all we have been signing have been a bunch of fringe, special team players.
I also noticed that if anyone even hints on this board that they aren't completely satisfied with all of Pioli's decisions that they are quickly shouted down and sometimes told they are not true Chiefs fans.
Get excited if you want, but I'm not drinking the kool-aid yet.
How do you feel?

Kenny Thompson is known as a mentor and tutor to students at Valley Oaks Elementary School in Houston, Texas. But Thompson is also gaining national recognition for going above and beyond the call of duty.
The volunteer learned that more than 60 students with delinquent meal accounts were receiving smaller lunches of cold cheese sandwiches. Upset, he wiped away their negative balances with $465 of his own money.
Thompson has worked with the school for 10 years. He told a local TV station that he would not have thought to check for these negative balances until he read a story about a school in Utah . Uintah Elementary School in Salt Lake City found itself in the headlines last month for throwing away the lunches of students whose meal payments were delinquent. Parents and politicians alike took to the airwaves and social networks in outrage.
"They don't need to be worried about finances," Thompson said to NBC affiliate KPRC TV about the elementary schoolchildren. "They need to be worried about what grade they got in spelling."
With Thompson's generosity, the students might be able to focus more on school — and perhaps perform better. Multiple studies link nutrition to classroom performance.
The school assured Thompson that, at least for the week, all students would receive a full lunch regardless of whether some of their accounts move back into the red.
"I'm like, 'Wow. I know that's probably a situation at my school, and the school my son goes to, and the other schools I mentor at,'" Thompson told KPRC. "So I came in and inquired about it."
Thompson says the students will now be spared the embarrassment of eating a reduced lunch in front of their peers. The mentor said in some cases, students would avoid the lunch line precisely because of this. "When I left the building knowing that they were getting fed, they didn't have that stress, [it was] the best money I ever spent," he said.
The cost for a student to eat lunch at Valley Oaks is about 40 cents a day.

Larson Alone Worth Price of V-Ball Scrimmage
Randy York's N-Sider
Let's have a little fun for a few minutes. Pretend you're John Cook, Nebraska's legendary volleyball coach who's counting down the days before his Huskers move into what he envisions to be the planet's most captivating volleyball facility – a transformed Devaney Center that will show glimpses of the old NU Coliseum yet, at the same time, display state-of-the-art flashes of style and new technology. The curtain will go up on this uniquely Nebraska facility at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24.
It's the annual Red/White Scrimmage, 13 days before the Huskers launch their 2013 home-court schedule with a full-fledged commemoration of the new Devaney facility with a volleyball court named after Terry Pettit. Since the entire season is a sellout in a facility roughly twice the size of the Coliseum, you have one golden opportunity to show volleyball fans across the state your new home.
How do you make an ordinary scrimmage a spectacular event? How do you feed the faithful force of fans and still accommodate the fabulously curious devotees who didn't get season tickets? You do what John Cook always does. You dream big and come up with a scrimmage matching a young, talented team against a roster of seasoned, accomplished veterans, including two former Huskers who made the USA Olympic team. Talk about a perfect way to make friends, influence people and break in an extreme makeover all at the same time. Where else can you pay $10 for a reserved seat and $8 for a spot in the standing-room-only area and see Olympians Jordan Larson and Nancy Metcalf on the same team? Where else can Husker Olympians join the likes of All-Americans Gina Mancuso, Lauren Cook and Brooke Delano and team captain Jordan Wilberger Sauer?
Once Shy Kid Now World-Class Competitor
We all know the season-long focus will be on the 2013 Husker Team, but what a great way to usher in a new era in a flagship sport and enjoy a fun-filled evening with everyone who would be touched. That would include, of course, the alumni who paved the way to prosperity, the coaches who continue to recruit nothing but the very best and the intensely loyal fans who have sold out 181 straight matches over 12 consecutive years. Everything about this varsity vs. alumni scrimmage screams cool, but at the top of that list is Larson. Her presence alone makes the scrimmage worth the price of admission. It's been fun watching how Larson's Olympic experience has helped transform her from a quiet, relatively shy small-town Nebraska girl to a confident but still humble world-class competitor.
Anyone who missed John Baylor's recent radio interview with Larson can rest easy. The entire interview is at the top of this column in four segments. We break it down that way to give Nebraska volleyball fans plenty of time to pour a glass of iced tea or lemonade before listening to the one-time little girl who grew up in Hooper, Nebraska, dreaming about becoming a Husker. It won't take long for you to understand how a quiet but driven dreamer became an All-American at Nebraska, a starter on the world's No. 1-ranked Olympic team and a superstar on the top pro team that's won three consecutive championships in Russia.
Huskers No. 1 in Recruiting, No. 10 in Poll
Baylor, the gifted voice of Husker volleyball, knows Larson well enough to cover her life from childhood to present tense, so his interview on the Husker Sports Network is a nicely woven audio book that somehow manages to look back and ahead at the same time. And really, that's why I recommend listening to their compelling interview and then buying a ticket to see Larson and fellow Olympian Metcalf team up with four dynamic recent Huskers. What a treat for the No. 10-ranked AVCA preseason team with the nation's No. 1 recruiting class. And what a treat for all Big Red volleyball fans lucky enough to see it.

Voices from Husker Nation
Great story and I agree that John Baylor is a hidden treasure in this state. I have season tickets to the Devaney (FINALLY!) and will miss listening to John's great radio coverage, but will be listening to him during away games. Jordan Larson is magnificent. I hate that I have to miss that pre-season game on Aug. 24. I would love to see Nancy Metcalf, Jordan and the other ex-Husker greats, but it's my granddaughter's 4th birthday/adoption party, and I probably shouldn't miss that. I am going to every other game at the Devaney this year!!! Pamela Holmes, Lincoln, Nebraska

Ihnen Earns Second Academic All-America Award
Lincoln - Nebraska wrestler Josh Ihnen captured first-team Capital One Academic All-America honors when the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced its men's and women's at-large teams Thursday, June 6.
Ihnen, an All-American on the mat for Coach Mark Manning's wrestling team in 2012, became the 70th two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American across all sports for the Huskers.
The senior from Sheldon, Iowa, was a four-time NCAA qualifier for the Huskers, including an eighth-place finish at 184 pounds as a junior 2012. He finished his senior year with a 27-8 record and fell just one match shy of claiming All-America honors for the second straight year. He became the 21st wrestler in Husker history to amass 100 career victories.
Ihnen was a two-time academic All-Big Ten selection as a finance major, and he earned his bachelor's degree in December of 2011. He competed as a graduate student for the Huskers in both 2011-12 and 2012-13. He was a three-time NWCA All-Academic selection, while his 3.87 GPA helped Nebraska post the second-highest wrestling team GPA in the nation (3.32) by the NWCA in 2012-13. The Huskers were honored as the NWCA's No. 1 GPA team in 2011-12.
Ihnen earned the fourth CoSIDA Academic All-America award in the last three years for the Husker wrestling program, after Tucker Lane claimed back-to-back awards in 2011 and 2012. Ihnen is the fourth two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American in Nebraska wrestling history, as the program has produced eight awards since 1997.
Ihnen helped pushed Nebraska's nation-leading total across all sports to 304.
Nebraska's 2012-13 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans (5)
- Rex Burkhead (Football), Sr. - First Team
- Josh Ihnen (Wrestling), Sr./Gr. - First Team
- Gina Mancuso (Volleyball), Sr. - First Team
- Sean Fisher (Football), Sr. - Second Team
- Emily Wong (Women's Gymnastics), Jr. - Second Team

The year's wild weather from little precipitation during the spring and summer to damaging wind storms makes the No. 2 top local story of 2012.
Warm winter
The early winter months of 2012 brought unseasonably warm temperatures and little snow, with Kirksville Public Works addressing street repairs and pot hole fixes on January 3 rather than their usual snow plowing duties.
On Feb. 1, exactly one year after the 14 inches of snow fell on Kirksville in 2011, the forecasted high was in the 50s.
There was such little precipitation during January that it wasn't until mid-February that the city experienced its first significant snow fall and storm.
The lack of snow melt in the spring months contributed to the summer's drought.
Dry, windy summer
The summer continued the trend of wild weather, with a damaging windstorm moving through Northern Missouri Feb. 29 with 50 to 70 mph winds.
The storm knocked out power for about 4,000 Adair County residents at its peak and damaged several local businesses including Faith Lutheran Church, toppling its cross.
The rest of the summer was dry and hot, with drought conditions reaching "D-2" levels on the four-level scale.
Gov. Jay Nixon declared a State of Emergency due to drought conditions in September, paving the way for federal assistance.
Little snow so far
The trend of unseasonable weather has continued, with little snowfall recorded so far into mid-December.
The region braced on December 20 as Winter Storm Draco moved across the Midwest region, dumping several inches of snow in the Kirksville area days after temperatures in the 50s.
The winter months as a whole were a stark contrast from the blizzards of 2011 which shut down the city for at least a day and prevented U.S. Postal Service deliveries, with continued concerns the lack of snow melt will again lead to drought-like conditions for farmers this upcoming summer.

They want answers about alleged hit list and information about shooting suspect. It is the first step towards filing lawsuit
A Bakersfield attorney representing the parents of a 16-year-old Taft High student critically wounded in a Jan. 10 classroom shooting wants answers to questions about the alleged gunman.
Daniel Rodriguez has filed a claim seeking access to information regarding accused shooter Bryan Oliver, who is widely rumored to have had a "hit list" and made other threats to harm students.
Administrators reportedly denied such a list existed when asked by faculty during a meeting after the shooting and before classes resumed.
Despite the denial, stories of a hit list last year and threats allegedly made by Oliver during the holiday break have persisted and were a focal point of last week's meeting with concerned parents.
The claim filed by Rodriguez is the first step in filing a lawsuit against the district.
Interim Supt. William McDermott, Principal Marilyn Brown and Vice Principal Rona Angelo are named in the claim filed Wednesday.
Angelo may be the only administrator familiar with the purported hit list and other threats because McDermott did not work for the district and Brown was not the principal last year.
Mark Richardson served as both superintendent and principal and likely would have had a role in any investigation to a hit list.
McDermott said state and Education Code privacy laws prevent district officials from revealing any information from Oliver's file.
Rodriguez and the victim's mother, Leah Cleveland, did a series of media interviews Wednesday afternoon to publicize the legal action and provide an update on Bowe's condition.
He's been moved from the intensive care unit at Kern Medical Center where he has been treated for a blast from a .12-gauge shotgun witnesses say Oliver brought to Ryan Heber's second period earth science class that day.
Leah Cleveland said her son continues to recover but the road to recovery will be a long one.
"He's on the road to recovery, and he's happy to be alive," she said. "In a few days they will make an evaluation to see when he can be released."
He still has shotgun pellets in his lungs and liver, she said, and will not only be dealing with the physical aspect of his injuries but the emotional trauma as well.
"Long term, who knows," she said of his recovery, adding he should be able to come home within a week or so.
She provided details about the day her son was shot, saying Bowe remembers being shot, blood pumping from his chest with every breath and the trip to the hospital by both ground and air ambulance.
Cleveland was kept in a medically induced coma until recently.
Rodriguez said the claim he filed is designed to get answers.
"We're not getting any straight answers and the only way we're getting any straight answers as to whether they dropped the ball is to sue," he said. "The only way we can get that is through a court order."
Taft High officials had no comment.
Meanwhile, Oliver is scheduled to make a court appearance on Feb. 20. He is being held on $2 million bail.

The purchase of a software package for $60,000 by the Camden County Commission that was questioned in 2011 is making its way back into the news.
The purchase of a software package for $60,000 by the Camden County Commission that was questioned in 2011 is making its way back into the news.
The county has severed their agreement with the company that provided the software and technical support and has withheld the last $7,000 payment.
In 2011, the bid was awarded to HCPS Software, a company based in Licking, Mo.
HCPS was the only company of the two solicited by the county to submit a bid on time. One of the owners of the company was a well-known name in Republican campaign circles during the 2010 elections.
The purchase was questioned by the Lake Sun after issues were raised about the bidding process and the relationship between the Presiding Commissioner Kris Franken and one of the owners of the company.
At the time, county officials defended the purchase of the software for payroll, purchasing, accounts payable and receivable but less than two years later, they have decided it makes more sense for the IT department to handle it.
Franken, who along with Camden County Clerk Rowland Todd spearheaded the purchase, said the reason Camden County ended the contractual agreement with HCPS is because since the agreement was signed, "we have hired new talent in our Information Technology Department that is capable of doing the same kind of work."
As the IT department was analyzing the way the purchasing, accounts receivable, accounts payable portion of the program was structured, they identified several ways that they thought they could improve on the original design, according to Franken.
"After discussion, we decided that if we could save some money from the original agreement that we should get out of the contract and proceed internally and realize the cost savings while producing a more focused product." he said. "It is not uncommon to realize ways to improve a project and focus it on your specific needs once it has begun and to pursue that direction if the opportunity exists."
As far as the payroll system is concerned, Franken said he felt there are some issues that need clarification.
According to him, the previous company that the county paid monthly to administer payroll, had major errors every pay period with regard to accruals of leave and benefits, and often had errors on check amounts.
"This is the issue that prompted the county clerk to look into this project, and it also gave us the opportunity to put the payroll, purchasing, accounts payable and accounts receivable all on the same platform and also allow us to go virtually paperless," he said. "Even in large private companies, issues arise when you have a complex payroll system that has so many potential deductions and accrual rates based on elective choices and time in service. The HCPS system, while not perfect, has improved the situation."
Franken said even though the county terminated the contract, they continued to provide support for the payroll system when needed.
Associate Commissioner Cliff Luber said problems with the software and complaints from employees using the program lead to the county's decision.
"Statements ranged from not being user friendly, to they didn't think it could do what was promised," Luber said.
Members of the commission at the time of the purchase were Kris Franken, Bev Thomas and Thom Gumm.

The Honeywell VRN2ET3S2A PICV 1-1/2 Inch 40gpm Threaded Control Valve with Top Plate. This valve is a pressure regulating control valve, it is a certified product manufactured by Honeywell. It is designed to keep the necessary flow rate through the valve by controlling the pressure drop across the control valve seat. It prevents an overflow or underflow when conventional two-way valves in multi-zone systems open or close. The actuator adjusts the control valve to the requisite flow based on heating or cooling load requirements. The Honeywell VRN2ET3S2A PICV 1-1/2 Inch 40gpm Threaded Control Valve with Top Plate works independent of supply pressure. If system head pressure changes, the built-in diaphragm controller accounts for the changes which results in preserving the flow required by the control system without using the actuator, while maintaining 5% precision at published pressure ratings. This Honeywell VRN2ET3S2A PICV 1-1/2 Inch 40gpm Threaded Control Valve with Top Plate is recommended to improve energy efficiency while reducing your maintenance costs of closed loop heating systems and various ventilating and air conditioning systems as well.

Though he�s not instantly recognizable with his hair bleached blond-white in �The Fifth Estate� (which opens Friday), it�s clear that�s Benedict Cumberbatch playing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from the moment he speaks a line of dialogue. The rich, deep, melodious baritone voice gives him away. Moviegoers have been hearing it a lot in recent years: in �Atonement,� �Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy� and �Star Trek into Darkness,� and TV viewers have been enjoying his modern take on a certain deductive detective in the British series �Sherlock.� But Cumberbatch, 37, started on the stage, getting great notices for roles in �A Midsummer Night�s Dream,� �Hedda Gabler� and, just last year, a production of �Frankenstein� in which he regularly switched between playing Victor Frankenstein and the creature. Cumberbatch recently spoke about his career and taking on the part of Assange at the Toronto International Film Festival.
It�s been reported that you tried to meet with Julian Assange before starting, but he didn�t want anything to do with the film and refused. How did you approach the part?
I didn�t want to impersonate him, I wanted to interpret him. There�s an acreage of footage online. A lot of it is formal, of him in presentational mode, of him arguing or being interviewed or talking about particular issues to do with WikiLeaks. But the film investigates the man in the more private mode of friendship and the working relationship with [his WikiLeaks associate] Daniel Berg, as well as stories of him off camera and very much out of the public eye. I guess that was the harder part.
The film portrays him as being passionate about his work but doesn�t show him in a very flattering light. Any guesses on what he�ll think of the film and your portrayal?
I really don�t want to venture what his reaction�s going to be. I�m not a betting man, but I imagine he won�t particularly want to support the film. But I�m not a mind reader, even though I tried to get into his mind to a certain degree for a certain period of his life. I think that we show a man and his idea, and the integrity and sacrifice that he had to pursue to see that through. I think we show the achievement of WikiLeaks between 2007 and 2010 � electoral reform in Nigeria, the exposure of corruption in the banking systems of Iceland and parts of Western Europe, Tibetan suppression by the Chinese. And then the massive dump of [American military] information in 2010. I think there�s a lot to celebrate about his achievements, and the perspective it shows on what he managed to do and how he managed to do it.
Assange is still holed up in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London. How do you think the situation will be resolved?
I don�t know. I�m not a legal expert; I�m an actor. I wouldn�t like to venture what might or should happen. It�s very complicated, and it has to do with dealings and goings-on behind closed doors. I don�t have access to any kind of information or perspective that would shine a light on some sort of certain truth about that. What I�d like to see is the man able to carry on doing his work as the founder of WikiLeaks. Beyond that, due process has to take place in whatever way, shape or form that happens.
Are you as good with computers as Assange appears to be in the film?
Actually, I�m very computer illiterate. I interface with easy, user-friendly kinds of software on sleek-looking hardware without really understanding what the workings of computers are. So it was fascinating to explore that aspect of Julian and learn about his pioneering work in computer programming and hacking. It was an education but not one I took to naturally.
Could you speak about making the transition from theater to screen acting?
I genuinely believe that they feed off each other. You can take theatrical moments into cinematic moments, and vice versa. I don�t know if having a theater background changed my approach to film acting in any particular way, but I was really lucky to begin in theater. You have the wonderful, amazing discovery period of a rehearsal time, which is a luxury in the film world. But most directors on most [film] projects, including this one, do try to carve that out, so you can experience a preparation and a level of experimentation and failing and getting up again and failing, before you�re in front of a camera.
What draws you to a role?
As much as it�s your choice as an actor, variety is a prerogative. That�s kind of my guiding principle when I do get the opportunity to choose � to keep myself guessing, to challenge myself to do things I haven�t done before, and hopefully an audience hasn�t seen before. I�ve been very lucky.

The Quarter Moons remind me of how clumsy I was as a girl. I skinned my knees at roller skating. I had a hard time keeping my balance while learning to ride a bike. I could fall just by walking on a sidewalk, when for no reason at all, my ankles would suddenly give way. My body, it seemed, often misread the situation, moving out of rhythm with the surrounding world. Even now, at the Quarter Moons, when situations are inherently wobbly, I am often that girl again, misreading the moment, gawky and out of step with the surrounding whirl.
Quarters neither buoy us with the fresh-start feel of a New Moon, nor do they dazzle us with Full-Moon-style illuminations. At the First and Last Quarter Moons, we're at a half-way point in the waxing and waning hemi-cycles. The Moon is half-lit, which means the Sun and Moon are at right angles, in the astrological relationship known as a "square". This is no resting place. Squares mean change - or you'll fall out of rhythm with a turning world.
You can see why I might feel wobbly. Like most people, I like the idea of gowth. But my nerve falters at the reality of change. And that's what the Quarter Moons have taken as their territory. They shift tempo on us, marking the moment for more challenging steps. Stumbling at the new beat, we can find ourselves suddenly down on the path, our psychic knees skinned.
I do my fair share of this. Over the past year, I've gone from an urban corporate world to a self-employed country life. I moved from my California dream home into my partner's Oregon house, the one with questionable feng shui, the one he bought with his ex. Yes, it's surrounded by pear orchards, has gorgeous views, and my dog can now chase cows, but it's different. Shopping, cooking, cleaning and sleeping with a man is different. And having three sudden children to step-parent, along with my son, is definitely alien. Everywhere I turn, there's new ground; especially at the Quarters, the ground is shaking. Dane Rudhyar calls Quarter Moons "crisis" times.
"Moon phases help us decide our wise next steps. Whatever occurs at the Quarter Moons, we're invited to see it as two forces in conflict. Something wants to move; something else resists. This tension seeks its release in change, involving struggle, or assertive and decisive action."
When I first began Moon watching, it seemed more logical to look for lunar influence in the outer world instead of the inner. I made a study of it. During the cycles I observed, Last Quarter Moons fell on weekends. On the following Mondays there were reports of near-record weekend murder tolls in my county, close to the numbers reached during the LA riots.
I found similarly disturbing events at First Quarter Moons - violent fights, high-speed chases, bomb threats, crashing cars, trains or planes. I wasn't surprised by what I observed. I expected to see traumatic events when the Sun and Moon were square. Squares bring conflict, tension and collision. And there it was, right on TV.
I lost my enthusiasm for correlating Moon phases with world and local events when I noticed the nightly news was happy to report murders, bomb threats and car chases at any and all Moon phases. I now consider my early research specious. I found what I was expecting to see. To prove that Quarter Moons bring a more volatile, dangerous world, one must don the neutral hat of a statistician, record a fixed set of traumatic events across all Moon phases, then observe whether they indeed spike at the Quarter Moons.
In the world of statistics, what doesn't happen is just as significant as what does. Therefore, a well-designed study would also account for all the quiet citizens who refrain from violence at the Quarter Moons. If the Moon's influence is really there, why doesn't it inspire all of us to grab a hammer and start breaking windows?
I'm not a statistician by nature. And it seems that many of my fellow astrologers are in the same boat. A few scientific souls have attempted Moon phase correlations, but none of the results have proven conclusive.[1] Until they are, we should move cautiously before pronouncing which events each Moon phase will bring.
So what do we make of Sun-Moon squares? Increasingly, I've found it more realistic, and valuable, to see the lunation cycle not as cause for events but as context for understanding them. Here astrology takes us into the invisible world, a place where most astrologers feel quite at home. We're invited to understand process and motivation rather than calibrate outer results. We're also free to apply this information to anyone who needs it, not just those who react in the expected ways. It offers a perspective that can make otherwise inscrutable or seemingly random twists of fate more meaningful. Moon phases help us decide our wise next steps.
Whatever occurs at the Quarter Moons, we're invited to see it as two forces in conflict. Something wants to move; something else resists. This tension seeks its release in change, involving struggle, or assertive and decisive action. Forces in square don't work together easily. One blocks or thwarts the other; the other must reorient its direction to get what it wants. Squares bring stress-and a potent thrust of energy that makes necessary changes possible.
What changes are favored is indicated by whether the square waxes or wanes. During the waxing square of the First Quarter we're motivated to build, to achieve a new structure. We're attuned to problems in the outer world, something that requires us to take new action. During the Last Quarter's waning square, we're prompted to find a new direction. The "something wrong" is generally inside, the change required a mental adjustment, some shift in our thinking, our intentions, or beliefs. Rudhyar called the waxing square a "crisis in action" and the waning square a "crisis in consciousness".
If we don't like the sound of the word "crisis," we might be soothed by what astrologer Sylvia Carroll says about squares: "The square does not feel unpleasant unless the energy backs up on you. Tension here can feel exhilarating as long as it is flowing in action and not dammed up. It is only frustrating when you have no outlets to apply the tension."[2]
Finding proper outlets is particularly tricky with the Last Quarter phase. Case in point: an inner city shooting during one Last Quarter Moon was against a 19-year-old woman in a wheelchair. The reason? Her assailant was lost-an apt enough metaphor for a crisis in consciousness. He stopped her for directions, yet when she couldn't help him, he shot her. We tend to drag the outer world into our inner quagmires all the time, particularly at the Last Quarter.
"Our perception needs cleansing at the Last Quarter. Our field is clogged with residue from our growth cycle. A less inward and thoughtful period, the waxing Moon drags in its wake immoderate desires, faulty judgements, misguided ambitions. Having been so attuned to the outer world, we may have behaved in ways that won us social approval, but took us away from our innermost selves. 'Is that all there is?' we may find ourselves asking. The underlying desire is to reconnect with our essence."
My favorite image for the Last Quarter Moon is the "solo spinout". You know, the lone car discovered upside-down or flipped on its side by the edge of the road with no evidence of collision. The crushed car bleeds with mystery. What happened, we wonder... What threw the driver onto his brakes, what wrenched the steering wheel out of his hands? There is a recognition, rising against our naive hope that the roads we drive will always be safe, straight and smooth: the soul drives an invisible road, that can, when you least expect it, suddenly diverge from the public one. And so it is with the Last Quarter, out of nowhere we can find ourselves unhappy, even desperate, turned upside-down, with no clear reason why.
Something inside wants to redirect us, to change our course at the Last Quarter Moon. That's the tension. We can move willingly in the new direction or pull back. During a spinout, most people instinctively slam on the brakes and steer against the spin. But experts advise the opposite: Don't brake. Turn into the spin. So it is with the momentum of the waning cycle. Things are changing. Go with it.
At the Last Quarter we're closer to the coming New Moon than we are to the New Moon that launched the current cycle. Whatever it was we were trying to build in the waxing weeks, we've either already accomplished or gotten new information that can alter our future course. But the future isn't here yet. This is a transitional time. There is something more to do before the new cycle arrives. Often the work is about letting go. Letting go of unhelpful people, places or things, misguided dreams, attitudes or behaviors-whatever it is that holds us back.
Few people like being advised to let go. As a counseling astrologer, this is the moment I feel as if I'm offering a spoonful of castor oil, "C'mon, this is good for you! It will make you feel lighter, less encumbered, more alert and awake! Release that thing and you'll be stronger!" This isn't undreamed-of news, but nobody likes it much. After all, we only hear it when we're still holding on.
"Your spirit needs to follow the changes happening / in the spacious place it knows about," writes Rumi.[3] "There, the scene is always new, a clairvoyant river of picturing, more beautiful than any on earth." We're between worlds at the Last Quarter. There's the earthy one that's falling away-and the possible one that's beckoning, brighter and more beautiful, if only we'd make room for it. When we don't, cautions Rumi, the world grows full of people who display our problems, "As one thinks the room is spinning/ when he's whirling around." Thieves see only thieves, hopelessness finds more hopelessness, truth keeps evading liars.
Our perception needs cleansing at the Last Quarter. Our field is clogged with residue from our growth cycle. A less inward and thoughtful period, the waxing Moon drags in its wake immoderate desires, faulty judgements, misguided ambitions. Having been so attuned to the outer world, we may have behaved in ways that won us social approval, but took us away from our innermost selves. "Is that all there is?" we may find ourselves asking. The underlying desire is to reconnect with our essence. In burning away the unfortunate by-products of the waxing period, we create an earth-bound version of that spacious place our spirit knows. We gift ourselves with the required room to start over at the next New Moon.
We must "essentialize" in the Last Quarter, drawing closer to our core. This is, as Sylvia Carroll recommended, a positive outlet for the square's stress. Cleaving to our spirit is a more exhilarating project than just letting go. Scrubbing away what doesn't suit us feels good. This approach is particularly comforting during the long three-to-four years of a progressed Last Quarter period. We're moving on. Of course this psychic renewal is also worth doing monthly at every Last Quarter phase, whatever longer progression we're in.
"Last Quarter Moons are society's pivot team, helping us see the dead cultural structures that need to be torn down, while pointing to the brave new worlds that lie just around the corner. They're born revolutionaries, at odds with any empty authority. Last Quarters enter their progressed New Moon before the age of fifteen. And so, younger than those born in all phases but Balsamic, they see the world with perhaps fresher eyes, are inspired to abandon social norms, and know their own minds before many of their peers know theirs. They're ahead of the curve."
Doing this requires trust. And so the Moon patiently models for us how cycles work. She acquires light and form, then she relinquishes it. She builds, she lets go, and, renewed, she builds again. Cycles are fluid, ever-changing and natural - unlike the standard date-boxes on our calendars. When we follow the Moon, we eventually sense each cycle as an animal in the wild senses time, as circumstances that favor - or block - this or that activity. When we surrender to this flow, we may seem particularly content or even lucky to others, but all we're doing is harmonizing with the nature of time. Whenever we find ourselves in a situation that has grown past benefit, we can apply the lessons of the Last Quarter Moon. Caught in an economy on the downturn, for example, we can nonetheless feel ready and purposeful, given what the Moon has taught us to do: We can simplify our lives to what matters. We can scrub off the excess. We can let our spirit go less encumbered to that beautiful picture ahead of us.
During one Last Quarter Moon, Linn called. She'd just had a terrible argument with her mother. With Pluto in her (maternal) 10th house and ruling her Ascendant, Linn has had many power struggles with her mom - over her appearance, over her sexual preference (Linn is gay), over what she's doing with her life, over whether she loves her mother enough. Linn was sexually abused as a child and had recently revealed this. At first Linn's mom was sympathetic, but during their recent argument, she did exactly what Linn had always feared: she blamed Linn, not the perpetrators, for the abuse.
Issues tend to erupt at the appropriate lunar phase. Even before looking for transits or progressions in a natal chart, considering the phase in the lunation cycle when a client calls can help plot our way through the event. Given this crisis came at the Last Quarter, was it time for Linn to be assertive, to press through the conflict and try to get her mother to understand her, like she'd been trying to do for years?
My advice, it turned out, was the same as her therapist's. The Last Quarter is a time for letting go, for bringing your life in line with what you deeply know to be true. Linn needed to acknowledge that although she deserved better from her mother, she was probably never going to get it. It was time to release that fantasy and admit the truth of their relationship. It was painful, but doing so freed up psychic energy, made space for renewal and empowerment. The ghost of her mother's disapproval had been haunting Linn for most of her life. This Last Quarter Moon brought a powerful opportunity to exorcise it.
Linn was born in the Last Quarter phase. Last Quarter Moons are society's pivot team, helping us see the dead cultural structures that need to be torn down, while pointing to the brave new worlds that lie just around the corner. They're born revolutionaries, at odds with any empty authority. Last Quarters enter their progressed New Moon before the age of fifteen. And so, younger than those born in all phases but Balsamic, they see the world with perhaps fresher eyes, are inspired to abandon social norms, and know their own minds before many of their peers know theirs. They're ahead of the curve. Little wonder that alienation also runs strong in them.
Inflexibility is the blessing and curse of Last Quarter births. Rudhyar calls them "seeds" of the future order. "Seeds are very tough on the surface, and their main external attribute is unalterability. They are built on the principle of bare necessity and uncompromising self-perpetuating strength."[4] This steely determination is useful when you see a green future while the world is still painted brown, but it may not make you popular. As mythologist Joseph Campbell suggested, sometimes "'What will they think of me?' must be put aside for bliss."[5]
This is a tricky point. Whether we're born at the Last Quarter, or find ourselves in this phase by progression or transit, it's wise to submit our inflexibility to a healthy self-interrogation. Are we holding on to a compelling truth - or to a habit that no longer serves? Are we responding to a visionary call, firm as seeds, or merely resisting change?
"Cycles keep returning us to familiar ground, so we might be newly creative there. We're given plenty chances to change. Particularly during life periods when we might make great leaps forward, it's wise to mark the Quarter Moons. These are the turnstiles to changes we claim we want to make."
You may have heard the story of the devout believer caught in a flood. She was convinced God would save her. She ignored the state trooper advising evacuation, waved away a rowboat and a helicopter, sure of God's aid. She eventually died, and was more than a little peeved when she arrived in heaven. "Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "I sent you a trooper, a rowboat and a helicopter!" It was a solo spinout. Her belief in God needed reorientation and expansion. Resisting that, she drove towards death instead of her next New Moon.
Cycles keep returning us to familiar ground, so we might be newly creative there. We're given plenty chances to change. Particularly during life periods when we might make great leaps forward, it's wise to mark the Quarter Moons. These are the turnstiles to changes we claim we want to make. I've watched the Quarters plenty in the past year, noting each time how the struggle between my resistance and future-leaning is going. It hasn't been easy. But I've discovered some guiding principles that seem to help (though I suspect in the coming year I'll have to find a few more). In the meantime, as one pilgrim to another, I'll leave what I've found so far with you.
Quarter Moon changes are almost never what you think they'll be. Forget whatever bright changes you planned to make. They're likely a thinly disguised version of what you've already been doing. And if you thought the Moon wanted to change somebody else instead, discard that expectation too. Rather, when you're facing something extremely uncomfortable, that's not at all what the you-that-you-thought-you-knew would ever have done, then: Surprise! That's the step you need to take.
Quarter Moon changes rarely arrive as dramatic events. They're sly that way. They don't show up with a marching band, blowing horns and beating drums. They slip soft as moonlight into our lives, changing the tempo through more subtle means. Look for their new rhythm in uncooperative or critical people, things not working out, things that make you feel lonely, angry or sad. It's easy to miss these moments as personal change timers. That's why most of us just feel itchy at the Quarters and wonder why the same problems keep happening to us again and again.
Quarter Moons bring two choices: act or refrain. It's simple. You've either got to do something you've never done before or stop doing something you've always done. The general lunar rule is that you should take new action at the First Quarter and you should stop and rethink your moves at the Last Quarter. But since we're discussing change, don't get too comfortable with general rules.
Make friends with your resistance and fear. Maurice Sendak has a wonderful story about a boy with a monster in his bedroom closet. At night the boy drags his dresser in front of the closet door, gathers up his army men, his guns, his stuffed animals and his flashlights. Then he quakes in his vigil, night after night, until exhausted, he finally opens the closet door. The monster roars weakly, then whimpers. Trembling, he crawls into the boy's bed; after that, everyone gets a good night's sleep. Whenever we need to change, there are monsters of resistance and fear in our closets too. Say hello. Get to know them. Bring them into bed with you until they fall asleep. Their power to halt your growth will disappear. And your Quarter Moons will be gloriously productive.

Remembering Clarks Most Magical Moment
Randy York's N-Sider Blog
The Official Blog of the Huskers
The death of Ken Clark, one of Nebraska's top running backs of all time, has been confirmed. Clark, 46, died of a heart attack Saturday in Minneapolis, according to his cousin, Stephanie Clark. Tom Osborne, Clark's head coach and now Nebraska's Athletic Director Emeritus, issued a statement through media relations this afternoon. "Ken Clark was an outstanding player for our football team, and he was a very consistent and durable running back," Osborne said, adding that Clark led the team in rushing in both 1988 and 1989, and ran for more than 3,000 yards in his career, while averaging better than six yards per carry. "Ken was quiet, but he became a very strong leader on our football team," Osborne said. "He was very tough physically and mentally. Ken graduated from Nebraska after his playing days were over and spent much of his life working with young people. He will certainly be missed and remembered by all who were associated with him."
Clark was featured on the cover of Nebraska's 1989 Media Guide (above) as a Heisman Trophy candidate, meaning, of course, that even those of us who have never met or been associated with Clark still knew of him. Personally speaking, his name is still etched in the minds of some friends of mine who live in Kansas City – friends who graduated from Missouri, Kansas State, Oregon State and Eastern Michigan and were seeing their first game ever inside Memorial Stadium. Clark made that game an extraordinary experience.
We bought six tickets in the North Stadium for college football's showdown of the week – No. 7 Nebraska hosting No. 10 Oklahoma State, led by Barry Sanders, the leading Heisman Trophy candidate at the time and still one of Rex Burkhead's foremost role models. Most national attention for this mid-October blockbuster focused on Sanders. On the drive to Lincoln, my buddies asked who Nebraska's top running back was, and when they didn't recognize the name, they indicated they wanted Nebraska to win that day but they also wanted to see Sanders post some serious numbers to make the game more memorable.
Clark Outperformed Heisman Winner Sanders
Both wishes came true, but no one could have guessed that in his first year as Nebraska's starting running back, Ken Clark would out-rush Barry Sanders, who went on to win the 1988 Heisman Trophy. Before we describe more details in the highest scoring game in Memorial Stadium history, please pause and take the next 45 seconds to hit Kent Pavelka's call on Nebraska's first offensive play in that unforgettable 63-42 Husker win over the Cowboys. Clark dazzled everyone with a 73-yard touchdown run that was so remarkable – and I'm not kidding here – that Pavelka described Clark taking a hand-off from Steve Taylor and going so far left that he was at the 30, 32, 33 and 35-yard lines before ending up in the opposite end zone. The film shows Clark disappearing into multiple defenders before re-emerging and taking it all the way to the house. The play will remind you of Tommie Frazier's signature touchdown run in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl win over Florida. Check it out on this OSU YouTube game video.
"Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!" Pavelka shouted. "Holy cow! Unbelieveable!"
Indeed. On Nebraska's first play from
scrimmage in that historic game, Clark broke three tackles at the point
of attack and then pushed the first button on a scoreboard that became a
pinball machine. It was Clark's most magical moment in a mystical game
that still seems more like a fairy tale than a Top Ten showdown. Pavelka
found the right words within a second of that shocking beginning. "Ken
Clark does his Oklahoma State Barry Sanders imitation!" he said.
The good news is, that imitation kept going and going and going, and Clark's electrifying touchdown lit the fuse. I couldn't resist watching the entire first quarter of one of Nebraska's craziest games ever - a game the Huskers elected to play in the afternoon instead of at night on television. Clark had three touchdowns in the game's first 18 minutes and 18 seconds. Thanks to a 35-0 first quarter and Clark's quick touchdown in the first three minutes of the second quarter, college football's Showdown of the Week looked like it might become the Rout of the Season. We all looked at a scoreboard that read Home 42 Visitors 0. "Where's Barry Sanders?" one of my buddies joked. "Is he hurt?"
Less than three minutes later, Sanders scored a touchdown and two minutes after that, he scored another one. Sanders then scored two more second half TDs to keep the winning margin respectable. The only other game in Nebraska history to duplicate the 105 combined points in that 63-42 game was the Huskers' 77-28 win over Arizona State seven years later.
Clark Was All-World Against Oklahoma State
Let the record show that on a special autumn
afternoon a quarter century ago, Ken Clark did more than imitate Barry
Sanders, the nation's leading rusher who went on to become perhaps the
best running back in NFL history. Clark outperformed Sanders, who scored
four touchdowns that day, but most were makeup scores in a game that
got away from the Cowboys in the first 15 minutes. Sanders rushed for
185 yards on 35 carries. Clark rushed for 256 yards on 27 carries and
scored three touchdowns that put the heat on early. In three years
against Oklahoma State, Clark was all-world, rushing for 422 yards,
averaging 7.4 yards a carry and scoring seven touchdowns.
Clark's 3,037-yard three-year rushing total puts him No. 7 on the Huskers' career rushing chart. He trails Mike Rozier, Ahman Green, Eric Crouch, Roy Helu Jr., Rex Burkhead and Calvin Jones. The rest of the top 10 is I.M. Hipp, Lawrence Phillips and Dahrran Diedrick. Talk about special company. If you don't know as much about Clark as you remember from the others, there's a good reason for that. Clark, it appears, was every bit as elusive with the media as he was for opposing defenses.
To drive that point home, I suggest you read Mike Babcock's phone call to Clark nearly 25 years ago to understand why Nebraska football's foremost historian decided to write about Clark's general disdain for reporters and the attention that came with his success. "He wasn't looking for the limelight," Husker All-American Broderick Thomas told Babcock this morning. "A ball under his arm was his favorite thing .. a fine running back. Good guy, quiet; that was Ken. Most people would say he was very quiet."
Perhaps that's why Ken Clark, like Barry Sanders, let his vision and his legs do all the talking.

LAKEWOOD — Gymnastics in the Jeffco League is like a stacked deck, loaded with highly skilled, competitive gymnasts, which makes for a great show at state. But at league competition it makes for a downright spectacle.
The Jeffco League gymnastics championships was held at Bear Creek High School on Oct. 20. The conference finals are just a primer for regionals, which will be held Oct. 26. Teams have to qualify their gymnasts at regionals if they want a shot at state, but there are so many variables that make getting to state nerve-wracking.

Welcome to XMLBeans
What is XMLBeans?
XMLBeans is a technology for accessing XML by binding it to Java types. XMLBeans provides several ways to get at the XML, including:
- Through XML schema that has been compiled to generate Java types that represent
schema types. In this way, you can access instances of the schema through
JavaBeans-style accessors after the fashion of "getFoo" and "setFoo".
The XMLBeans API also allows you to reflect into the XML schema itself through an XML Schema Object model.
- A cursor model through which you can traverse the full XML infoset.
- Support for XML DOM.
For a more complete introduction, see the XMLBeans Overview or Getting Started With XMLBeans.
For more details on XMLBeans see the XMLBeans Wiki pages or the XMLBeans documentation (the Documentation tab on this website).
Release: Apache XMLBeans 2.6.0 (August 14, 2012)
Latest release files are available.
Few of the improvements in this release (for a more complete list of changes see CHANGES.txt).
- Add new xml option CopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain used for copy. This fixes the scenario when copy and access (ex. selectPath) are used in a multithreading environment.
- Entitize \r when not in pretty print, this helps with maintainig \r entities
- Update durations to latest spec.
- Fix for compiling schema that contains complex type with simple content that has facets defined in the base simple type
- Introducing a default maximum entity replacement limit of 10kb, it can be controled by using the option XmlOptions.setLoadEntityBytesLimit.
- Added multiple entry points and refactored code for xsd2inst code.
- Many synchronization and stability bug fixes
Note: Starting with XmlBeans 2.6.0, binary files are compatible with JDK1.6. Sources are still compatible with JDK 1.4. When using JDK 1.4, xmlbeans-qname.jar is required on classpath of your application alongside xbean.jar.
Getting Started
Start off with your own stuff.
If you want to get right to it with your own XML schema and instance, follow these basic steps:
- Install XMLBeans.
- Compile your schema. Use scomp to compile the schema, generating and jarring Java types. For example, to create a
employeeschema.jar from an employeesschema.xsd file:
scomp -out employeeschema.jar employeeschema.xsd
- Write code. With the generated JAR on your classpath, write code to bind an XML instance
to the Java types representing your schema. Here's an example that would use
types generated from an employees schema:
File xmlFile = new File("c:\employees.xml"); // Bind the instance to the generated XMLBeans types. EmployeesDocument empDoc = EmployeesDocument.Factory.parse(xmlFile); // Get and print pieces of the XML instance. Employees emps = empDoc.getEmployees(); Employee[] empArray = emps.getEmployeeArray(); for (int i = 0; i < empArray.length; i++) { System.out.println(empArray[i]); }
Read a tutorial.
Read our tutorial to get a sense of XMLBeans basics.
Read documentation and other information.
On our documentation page, you'll find links to several topics that describe XMLBeans features and how to use them. You'll also find links to Javadoc reference on the XMLBeans API.
You can also check out the FAQ, which is updated with new answers as they're needed.
Don't forget the XMLBeans Wiki, which collects lots of valuable information.
Check out the samples.
