BASKETBALL: Wapak faces unbeaten, state-ranked Defiance
The Wapakoneta Redskins varsity boys basketball team has already faced four state-ranked opponents this season.
Add one more to the list.
Wapak will face perhaps its stiffest test of the season Friday night when the undefeated and state-ranked Defiance Bulldogs come to town.
Defiance is 9-0 overall and 3-0 in the Western Buckeye League. The Bulldogs are No. 8 in Division II and received one first-place vote.
They are outscoring their opponents by an average of 18 points per game and have won all but one of their games — a 60-51 win over the Bath Wildcats — by double digits.
"It's kind of clichéd to say this, but they're the best team we've played all year," Redskins varsity coach Matt Bradley said. "They're 9-0 and state-ranked for a reason. Incredibly unselfish, really good guards. Unlike us, they knock down jump shots consistently. They defend really hard. They're well-coached. Everything you want in a good team, they've got it."
Bradley's words are high praise considering four of Wapak's seven losses this season have come at the hands of state-ranked opponents — Elida, Lima Central Catholic, Ft. Recovery and Ada.
He says the secret to Defiance's success is really no secret at all.
"Every single one of their guys has bought into going all-out all the time," Bradley said. "Watching them on film, they're always in the right spot defensively. They rarely get beat on a box-out. They rarely give up offensive rebounds.
"Offensively, they're always looking for the next guy, always passing up a good shot for a great shot. All the things that are kind of the rules of basketball, if you will, they do them."
Defiance presents a number of threats on the offensive side of the ball with four players averaging in double figures.
Anthony Kidston (6-foot-2 senior) leads the way with a 16.7 points-per-game average. Kidston also leads the team in assists (3.2 per game) and rebounding (6.6 per game).
Josh Scott (6-0 senior) is averaging 13.6 points and 2.8 assists per game. Doug Herrett (5-11 senior) adds 12.3 points per game. And Tory Guilliam (6-0 senior) chips in with 10.5 points a night.
The Bulldogs run a free-flowing offense similar to Wapak's Princeton offense.
Wapak has struggled defensively its past couple game. The Redskins were routinely late rotating to get in position in their 55-38 loss to New Knoxville on Tuesday.
"We've got to go back to basics as far as defensive responsibilities," Bradley said. "Things that I've probably taken for granted as a coach as the year has gone on, kind of back to some things that we worked on at the beginning of the year, where to be in help when the ball is here or over here, defending the post, defending screens.
"I've done a bad job of staying on the little things defensively. Those are some things we'll work on this week."
The Redskins will have senior center Kaleb Vondenhuevel back in the lineup Friday night.
Vondenhuevel sat out Wapak's last two games after undergoing an emergency appendectomy last Monday.
The junior varsity contest tips off at 6 p.m.

Cee Lo Green is embarking on a health kick in 2013 in a bid to slim down.
The Forget You hitmaker is famed for his bulky frame, but he has signed up as an ambassador for eDiets.com in an effort to lose weight ahead of his upcoming Las Vegas residency.
Green will use the company's meal delivery service and he hopes to inspire others aiming to shed the pounds.
He says, "With the strenuous rehearsals and big production of my upcoming Vegas residency Loberace kicking off in February, I've personally committed to making health a habit in the New Year.
"When I decided to make this commitment to myself, I needed a program that would work with my nonstop lifestyle, and eDiets has made it easy and convenient to make health a priority between recording new music, constant traveling and being a father."
Green revealed earlier this year (12) he was planning a major slim down following the deaths of pals Heavy D and comedian Patrice O'Neal.
He told Rolling Stone magazine, "I want to be healthy. I lost a few really good friends... I lost my friend Heavy D recently, and I was friends with Patrice O'Neal... I'm looking at them and noticing the similarities. I've got a young son and I want to be around for him."

Jasper grad Weatherspoon to miss 2014 NFL season
Atlanta Falcons linebacker and Jasper HS grad Sean Weatherspoon will miss the upcoming 2014 NFL season because of a ruptured Achilles tendon, the team announced Tuesday on their website.
The injury occurred while the 2005 Beaumont Enterprise Super Gold First-Team Defense selection was working with the team's medical staff, the announcement went on to say.
"During Sean's run today with our medical staff, he suffered an injury," head coach Mike Smith said in a statement. "We sent Sean to the doctor for some additional testing and evaluation and unfortunately the results showed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon. Sean had been working extremely hard to get back on the field, but regrettably he will miss the entire 2014 season. He will have a procedure done in the near future and we expect him to make a full recovery."
Weatherspoon's held a SPOONFUL OF HOPE youth football clinic last weekend in Sugar Hill, Georgia, according to his website. Through his foundation, he also holds similar clinics in Missouri and his hometown of Jasper as well.
The annual Jasper clinic is slated for June 28. There is no word yet on if Weatherspoon's injury will impact the clinic or not.

Junior hockey reform required
The rather embarrassing attempt at launching a Canadian Hockey League Players' Association may have fallen short but the issues that affect junior hockey remain pertinent.
First and foremost, junior hockey must clean up its education package to players, the promised post-secondary tuition program that is fraught with loopholes, and regularly misunderstood or mismanaged.
While the "slave wages" talked about by those attempting to bring the players under one umbrella may hardly be relevant in this time of professional unpaid internships and apprenticeships, something resembling balance in honorariums paid out should be brought forward by the leaders in the game.
In fact, if CHL president Dave Branch and fellow executives truly want to put an end to any underground movement to unionize players, they can do it on their own by addressing the significant issues involved with the game — including the trading away of teenaged boys in mid-season — and player agents, who have been far too quiet in this area, can have a voice as well.
There is a need for reform.
The failed movement with the wrong people involved doesn't eliminate the problem.
The NHL is destroying everything John Collins has built. Collins is the chief operating officer of the league. He has promoted an event-based NHL and watched league revenue grow and prosper. The Winter Classic has been cancelled. Collins' NHL is no more … Tom Anselmi's first month on the job as head of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd.: Learning to say he's sorry. As in, "I'm sorry for the state of Toronto FC" and "I'm sorry the Winter Classic is cancelled … Rather than appease his clientele by taking arbitrary shots at the media, wouldn't Donald Fehr be well-advised to get on with the business of getting a deal done? The snipes to players only serve to make him look small … While the Stanley Cup is the apparent jewel of the hockey season, when there is a hockey season, five of the six games from this year's final had lower television ratings than the now cancelled Winter Classic … While no one knows where the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be playing their home games next season – probably at McMaster University with temporary stands – the Labour Day Classic will be moved to Toronto … Anybody catch that crazy comeback by Moo U over Queen's in CIS playoff football Saturday? Guelph, led by a pair of former GTHL hockey players, Jazz Lindsey and Carl Trivieri, came back from 22 behind in the fourth quarter for a huge win in overtime to advance to the Yates Cup.
Part of the Blue Jays' off-season plan: 1. Hire Buck Rodgers to manage; 2. Bring Kenny Rogers out of retirement to pitch; 3. Name Steve Rogers pitching coach. 4. Ask Rajai Davis if he would consider changing his first name. 5. Acquire reliever Esmil Rogers from Cleveland … When Alex Anthopoulos acquired Mike Aviles in the strange deal for manager John Farrell, he said he was happy to have him because of the shortage of middle infielders available in the game. Now, with Aviles sent to the Indians, are we to assume his starting middle infield is Yunel Escobar at shortstop and Adeiny Hechavarria at second base? … Among the many reasons the Jays need to name a manager: If you're a free agent with any interest in Toronto, wouldn't you want to know who is managing you before you sign on … Yes, it's possible for Sandy Alomar to leave his place with the Indians as bench coach to manage the Jays, but to date, there has not been a single conversation between Alomar and the Jays. Not an interview, a phone call. If he's their guy, they have a funny way of showing it … Tough time for Mike Ilitch. Not only did his Tigers get swept out of the World Series but he lost his festival of hockey planned around the Winter Classic … I've had meals that had more spice and lasted longer than this year's World Series.
Advice for Georges Laraque: Next time somebody comes to you with a great idea, first find out who's behind that supposed great idea, then politely decline … How weird and twisted is this CHLPA union story: Convicted fraudster Randy Gumbley apparently wanted to heap damage on the junior game because of his longtime dislike of Hockey Canada and CHL president David Branch. Almost comes across like a hockey version of Austin Powers … Every time I write something about the Argos, I get a bunch of emails and tweets from people saying: Why bother? Nobody cares anymore. So a quick fact or two: The Raptors television audience for opening night was an impressive 346,000, the second highest in the history of the franchise. The average Argo TV audience this season heading into Thursday's home game was 661,000 and they did 769,000 for the game. People may not be buying tickets the way they once did but they're watching on TV … I didn't go out for Halloween but if I did I was considering going out as Paulina Gretzky — and failing that Yunel Escobar, with something written under my eyes.
There was celebration in the offices of the Edmonton Eskimos when GM Eric Tillman was surprisingly fired Saturday. Everyone expected Tillman to go. But the timing, one week before the playoff game against the Argos, seemed strange from the outside. Not, from the inside, I'm told … Also weird — Winnipeg keeping GM Joe Mack and coach Tim Burke. Mack has two years left on contract and the Bombers were too cheap to pay him off … Rumours have been around for weeks that Tillman would replace Jim Barker as Argos GM but the Argos insist it won't happen. Barker may still be gone, either way … Have to believe the premature monster raise of DeMar DeRozan will blow up. Four years, $40 million and he still can't shoot a jumper. This has DiSaster written all over it … When NHL players get all excited about getting an escrow payment during this lockout, isn't it the same as getting a tax refund? You can be all pumped up about it but the truth is, all you're getting back is money you've already earned … Yes, Jon Cornish should be applauded for running for more yards than any Canadian in CFL history but he established the number of 1,457 yards playing two more games than Normie Kwong did in 1956. Weird CFL stat: Until 1974, teams in the West played a 16-game schedule while teams in the East played 14 games … Best running season by any Canadian, any league: Rueben Mayes ran for 1,353 yards as a rookie in 1986 for the New Orleans Saints … I'm fascinated to see how the CFL will set up its halftime show for the 100rth Grey Cup, with teen stars Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen there for the kids, Gordon Lightfoot there for the usual Grey Cup goers, and Marianas Trench there for no discernible reason. And 20 minutes to get all that in … Teams are lining up to sign Detroit pitcher Anibal Sanchez. Impossible to predict where he's going but he's going to be one rich fellow when he signs on the dotted line … Happy birthday to the great Howie Meeker (89), Dustin Brown (28), Jimmy Piersall (83), Devin Hester (30), Dez Bryant (24), Domingo Cedeno (44) and Loretta Swit (75) … And hey, whatever became of Nick Bastaja?
Chad Owens has had a most remarkable record-breaking season, with 3,863 combined yards of offence for the Argos, which should make him the hands-down winner of the Most Outstanding Player award in the CFL this season. Or should it? The next round of balloting is due shortly and I'm having trouble voting for Owens. It isn't the yardage total. Here's where I'm bogging down. Owens had 1,328 yards receiving, but just six touchdowns caught. Chris Williams of Hamilton has 1,298 yards receiving, for 11 touchdowns. Owens had 828 yards on punt returns, with no touchdowns. Williams had more yardage and six returns for touchdowns on punts or missed field goals. Where Owens had the big advantage yardage was was in kickoff returns, where he put up 1,588 yards. Williams didn't return kicks for the the Ticats. The touchdown total at the end of the season: Williams 17, Owens 6. And that's not factoring where Anthony Calvillo might fit into the MOP equation, with another 5,000-yard passing season, a first-place finish and a depleted corps of receivers.
It's easy to rip on Norv Turner. It's almost sport, really. The San Diego Chargers disapppoint. So let's blame the coach. At their best, the Chargers had LaDainian Tomlinson running the ball, Darren Sproles coming in on third downs, Antonio Gates and Vincent Jackson and others of reasonable esteem catching the ball and yes, gulp, Philip Rivers has been the quarterback. Well, Tomlinson is long gone and has never been adequately replaced. The Chargers can't run the ball anymore. San Diego messed up on Jackson's contract, lost him in free agency, and really don't have a single game breaking wide receiver. Gates is still Gates at tight end, but he's only caught touchdown passes in two games. And with the dubious Rivers at quarterback and the weapons around him diminished, is all that really Norv Turner's fault? And I ask that as an annual basher of the beleaguered head coach?
Hands up, none of you, who saw the talent laden Los Angeles Lakers starting the season at 0-3. And they say they have an excuse. They haven't been together long enough to incorporate longtime stars Steve Nash and Dwight Howard in a lineup that includes Kobe Bryant and Pao Gasol. Which is their story and for now they're sticking to it. So how do you explain the Houston Rockets, then? They just traded for James Harden, who had no training camp in Houston, put up an NBA-high 37 and 45 points in his first two games for the Rockets, both road wins. You have to admire what GM Daryl Morey has accomplished in a short time. He basically tore up his team from a year ago, added four new starters in a revamped lineup, including Jeremy Lin at point guard, and so far the Rockets will be 3-0 with a win at home Saturday night, opposite the Lakers winless record.

Hey, The name's Zak. I'm pretty much that person that can be random pretty much all the time, sometimes I will be loud and entertaining, and sometimes I will be quiet and not very talkative... I am a brony so deal with it, my favorite pony is Vinyl Scratch. But hey, if you don't mind the way i am, feel free to add me. I do play a bunch of games, including on Xbox, and on PC. I am also an experienced writer and voice actor. However I cannot always put those traits to use due to mine lacking initiative to make a custom story of my own, I do however have the initiative to help others with their projects. I do have a custom story in planning, but it is still early in the works and not even up on this website yet and I will not post it up here until I am about a 1/4 of the way done or so, so I have some good screens and stuff to show. I will reveal the name but that's about it for now. The name to my custom story which is very early in the works is - The Correlations Of A Madman: Prologue.

Tori Spelling talks about her new gig as the executive producer and host of TLC's Craft Wars and how she spends quality time with her children.
You are the executive producer and host of TLC's new show "Craft Wars." Where did the idea for this show come from?
I have been an avid crafter my entire life. It's a huge passion of mine! So, I took a meeting with TLC to discuss doing a crafting related show. They had an idea for a crafting competition show, and I fell in love with the idea. We partnered and made "Craft Wars"!
You have been quoted saying you craft weekly with your children to promote hand-eye coordination. What was one of the last crafts you made together, and how do you make crafting fun and easy for kids?
Crafting is a way of life in our household. My kids love it! In fact, Stella will pick crafting any day over watching cartoons, and I love that. We have an area with a crafting table, and together as a family we craft at least once a week. The latest crafting project we made were glow in the dark painted mason jars to string across the kids' ceilings in their rooms. A crafty take on a nightlight. Looks like stars across the entire ceiling when lights are out.
In your book CelebraTORIal, you talk about planning and throwing amazing parties. What's your best piece of advice for busy moms trying to plan birthday parties for their children?
Make your children a part of the party planning process from the beginning. Ask them for their input on everything from color scheme and theme to party decor and foods. Liam and Stella are always so into helping, and then by the time the party happens they truly appreciate it because they feel so proud that they helped plan it. My kids also love actually setting up too. Stella loved stuffing gift bags and Liam loves setting the tables.
You are now pregnant with your 4th child (Congratulations!). Do you worry about making sure each of your children gets enough attention? How do you keep things fair between kids?
Thanks! I'm very conscious of making sure everyone feels equal when we do things all together and then I always make a point of doing activities alone with each of them as well. Stella and I like having pretend tea parties together and we craft making jewelry and accessories. Recently, we made our own glitter lip gloss from scratch and then packaged them so Stella could give to her friends. Liam and I love getting cozy in bed together and watching an action flick or food show on The Food Network and snacking on ham and cheese sandwiches that we make together. Liam loves to cook just like his chef Dad! Hattie is still so young but still, we make sure to rock her asleep and read to her. She already grabs my cell phone and swipes it with her fingers to try to scroll through my pictures!
How do your kids feel about having famous parents—and how do you keep them grounded?
Liam and Stella don't know that we are famous, but they do understand that we as a family have a TV show and that sometimes we are in magazines. Liam will say, "I'm an actor." They have recently started asking us why people we don't know come up to us and know our names. I explain to them it's because we are on TV. But, as far as being grounded our kids are very grounded. They are very respectful of others and don't take things for granted. I think having a back yard farm has really helped teach them responsibility and valuing life. They help take care of all our animals and love learning about the animals. We also grow our own fruits and vegetables which is such an amazing thing for children to see. They love planting, watering, and then of course helping to prepare the food they've grown. Living a very DIY family life has really helped to keep them out of the Hollywood scene and keeps our family grounded.
With three kids, and another on the way, what is you and your husband's strategy for scheduling alone time or the occasional "date night"?
I'm not gonna lie, it's hard to find the time. When we can, we try to sneak off for a movie or a sushi date, but it's rare. We are total homebodies, so our dates usually happen after the kids go to sleep and we get cozy in bed and put out a bed picnic and catch up on our DVR or watch a movie from Netflix.
Just for fun: What's the last thing one of your children did that made you laugh?
The other day I had my glasses off to clean them and Liam said "Mom, do you see me for who I am?" I paused and was super impressed that a five-year-old was being so philosophical and deep. So I said, "What do you mean exactly?" and he said, "Mom, with your glasses off am I like... blurry all over?" I just started laughing! "YES, yes," I said, "totally blurry."
We gotta ask the million-dollar working mom question: with two TV shows, bestselling books, and a jewelry line, how do you maintain a successful career while raising three little ones?
The simple answer? With a lot of LOVE! I am passionate and madly in love with my family and all the projects I do. I find that if you do what you love, you find the time. It all falls into place and works itself out. I am super busy and grateful for every second of it.

Robot-assisted surgery allows for small incisions because, rather than placing his own hands inside the body, the surgeon controls the arms of a surgical robot that holds very tiny instruments. The surgical field is magnified by 10 to 15 times, allowing for very precise movements. This YouTube video, showing the technology being used to peel a grape, illustrates the precision of the surgery.
Using robotic technology, the Wake Forest Baptist team is achieving equivalent results to the standard open surgical approach with smaller incisions, less pain and less blood loss, fewer complications and shorter recovery times. With this surgery, five or six tiny incisions are made in the abdomen for placement of a tiny camera and surgical instruments. The surgeon directs the robot's miniaturized instruments to remove the prostate gland, while working to preserve the nearby nerves. As with traditional prostate surgery that requires a larger incision, tissue surrounding the prostate is also removed and sent for analysis to make sure there is no cancer outside the prostate. Pelvic lymph nodes may also be removed to determine if the cancer has spread.View a live prostate cancer surgery performed by Ashok Hemal, MD, director of the department's minimally invasive surgery program.

Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month." What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be studied-or even documented-when the tradition originated. Although blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books.
Blacks Absent from History Books
We owe the celebration of Black History Month, and more importantly, the study of black history, to Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Born to parents who were former slaves, he spent his childhood working in the Kentucky coal mines and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He graduated within two years and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard. The scholar was disturbed to find in his studies that history books largely ignored the black American population-and when blacks did figure into the picture, it was generally in ways that reflected the inferior social position they were assigned at the time.
Woodson, always one to act on his ambitions, decided to take on the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History. In 1926, he launched Negro History Week as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history.
Woodson chose the second week of February for Negro History Week because it marks the birthdays of two men who greatly influenced the black American population, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. However, February has much more than Douglass and Lincoln to show for its significance in black American history. For example:

Community Outreach Forum
One of the most important functions of the Office of Community Partnerships focuses on the collaborative work across various County departments and agencies. Beginning in 2003, former-County Executive Doug Duncan's Office of Community Outreach established the Community Outreach Forum, consisting of County department representatives. Through monthly meetings, members work to provide coordinated outreach services to all county residents. Representatives from related governmental entities, including the County Council, Montgomery County District Congressional Offices, and nonprofit agencies also participate in the Forum. Working together to address pertinent community issues, Forum members share timely information about community concerns, collaborate on responses to issues identified as priorities by county residents and maximize the use of County resources.
The members of the Community Outreach Forum represent the diversity of Montgomery County and bring a clear understanding of the county and their respective departments to the Forum. The members are able to articulately represent the stated policies and procedures of Montgomery County to the community and to collaborate with other County departments, non-county governmental entities, and private non-profit organizations in creating partnerships to cosponsor events to celebrate the rich diversity of Montgomery County.
Meeting Notes
We encourage anyone wishing to serve on the Community Outreach Forum to contact us.

Published September 13, 2017
America's finest, indeed. An Irma-related photo of three male members of the Gainesville Police Department has caused such a stir that the photo was updated to note "Officer Rengering is being placed into Cougar Prey Protective Care, similar to the witness protection program for his safety." And they aren't referring to the four-legged type of predator.
The Sunday night post originally simply read, "Officers Nordman, Hamill and Rengering...part of the night crew getting ready to do some work. #Irma." But it's much more interesting reading now, thanks to the 127,000 comments that have been left, some of which "actually made our chief blush," per an update to the post that notes a charity calendar is planned.
The update also specified that while "MRS. Nordman and MRS. Hamill have also enjoyed knowing how millions of women are going crazy over their husbands," Officer Rengering (the one "with the amazing hair") is available.
Some standout comments:

In the mid-Seventies, Brad Elterman was just a teenager from California's San Fernando Valley, not much younger than the rock stars he was palling around with on the Sunset Strip. What set him apart was not only the fact that he didn't drink or do drugs but an ever-present camera that enabled him to take the kind of intimate photographs that rarely exist in the current world of overly managed and manufactured musicians.
"They thought the camera was a novelty," says Elterman, now 55. "Today, everyone is armed with an iPhone and can beam a picture around the world, but this was an age before p.r. and management controlled the imagery."
This story first appeared in the June 27, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
His recently unearthed photos, a few of which have never been printed, are the basis of the exhibit "Factory 77," which opens Thursday at the Kana Manglapus Projects in Venice Beach in Los Angeles. Elterman, who learned how to take pictures in a junior-high elective class and how to develop film at summer camp, recalls borrowing his parents' car to drive to shows at The Rainbow and The Roxy. His first photo, of Bob Dylan performing onstage, was published in 1974. That led to endless nights covering pop, punk and rock bands, including David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, Kiss, Queen, Blondie, the Ramones and ABBA, to name a few. Elterman became friendly with some of his subjects, like fellow Valley teens Joan Jett and Cherie Currie of The Runaways.
"Joan and I would eat huge burgers at a coffee shop called Duke's and play softball in the Valley," he said.
While Elterman obtained photo credentials for many events, such as the 1978 "Grease" premiere after party at Paramount Studios, where he snapped Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, some of his best photos were taken behind the scenes or out of sheer luck. He was turned down for credentials for a Bowie show in 1975, so he cut school one day to camp out at Cherokee Studios, where he caught the singer leaving at 6 a.m.
"Thank god I was turned down, and thank god Bowie didn't stop to pose, or I never would have gotten the shot. I love the movement of it," he says.
Another one of his favorite shots came from a tip. "A friend of mine worked at the Roxy box office and called me up and said, 'Bob Marley is playing a sold-out show tonight, and Ringo Starr is on the guest list. See you tonight and bring your camera.'"
When Elterman showed up, he caught sight not only of Starr, but also John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Starr was using his key, copies of which were only given out to VIPs like Jack Nicholson, to enter the club. The rest of the crowd had to be buzzed in via intercom.
"Being a teenager and having half of The Beatles in front of you, your adrenaline is pumping through your body and you don't sleep for two days," he says.
Elterman left Cal State University Northridge at 19 to tour Japan with teen idol Leif Garrett, then traveled to South America with German pop group Boney M., and toured with the Eagles and Rod Stewart. The gallery show derives its name from a friend who said that Elterman was a one-man "factory" in those days, churning out photos each night. (Elterman is starting a new blog with the same name in which he'll showcase more of these old photos.)
"American magazines didn't pay a lot, so I sent my photos to European and Japanese publications," he says. "I didn't have much competition, because a lot of people were scared to send their stuff overseas because they thought they wouldn't get paid. I would drive to the airport post office every other day to mail my film."
As the son of art collectors, Elterman knew the importance of retaining his copyrights and sold only one-time rights to his photos. Eventually, he turned his attention to other entrepreneurial ventures. In 1980, he formed California Features International Inc., one of the first Los Angeles-based photo agencies to specialize in celebrity coverage. In 1992, he cofounded Online USA Inc., one of the first digital photo agencies specializing in celebrities. The company was purchased by Getty Images in 2000. Six years ago, he cofounded Buzz Foto, which has a distribution partnership with Getty.
"My concept was that, if executed properly, paparazzi-style photography could be iconic and elegant," he says. "The action, fashion and the rawness is what fills celebrity and fashion pages these days. The red carpet is boring and such a blatant hard sell. A photo of a celebrity wearing Chanel walking in SoHo can be gorgeous imagery, and it is the real deal. Many of the fashion houses are purchasing our photographs."
He recently began shooting pop culture again for publications like Purple, and hopes to one day shoot an ad campaign for a company like Urban Outfitters.
"People are hiring young talent to shoot the way I did 30 years ago," he noted. "Today, everything seems so homogenized but back then it was the real deal."
Elterman still keeps in touch with a few of his old subjects, several of whom live in his artsy Beverly Glen neighborhood, such as Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols and Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from KISS, who frequent the same local deli.
"I had not seen Linda and Johnny Ramone for decades, and then one day I saw them in my local supermarket," he says of spotting the punk legend before his death in 2004. "Johnny Ramone pushing a shopping cart was surreal!"
He also reconnected with Jett when "The Runaways" movie came out, and she introduced him to Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who played Jett and Currie, respectively, on-screen. While he is a fan of new talents such as Lana Del Rey and Taylor Momsen, he's not sure if it's possible to have the access he did back in the day.
"Personally, I never considered myself a paparazzo. I did not need to chase anyone down the street for a living," Elterman says. "I can count on one hand the paparazzi-style escapades that I performed, but I was not motivated by greed. I just wanted to take a very candid photograph of an amazing talent who meant so much to me as a kid."


text: The historical mining city is located in the middle of the mountains of Kremnica (Kremnické vrchy), where gold was already mined in the 11th century. The city was mentioned in 1328 for the first time. In 1329 the first silver coins were produced. Later they also produced ducats of gold. The ducats of Kremnica were the best known and most popular coins in Europe. The center is dominated by the castle with a doubled wall and the oldest monument – the roman rotunda of the 13th century. The central building is the gothic church St. Katharina from the 15th century. Only parts of the city wall from the 14th century are remained. The parts show the the red and black bastion and the lower door. Directly at the town market is the baroque trinity column from the 18th century. Other sights of the place are gothic and renaissance houses, the gothic town hall from the 15th century and the Francisacan church with a monastery of the 17th century.

Flamboyant, confident, and controversial, Edith Bolling Wilson was not your traditional First Lady. After her husband, Woodrow Wilson, suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919, she took the reins of government and acted on behalf of her ailing spouse. Historian Kristie Miller looks into the life of the woman known as "Madame Regent" and "the Assistant President" and asks: Was Edith Wilson, in effect, our first woman president?

Cutting PBS and the NEA won't do it
Mitt Romney sat down with Fortune magazine for a pretty interesting interview, which was published today. It's worth your time, and I'll resist the temptation to go through every exchange in detail, but there's one part of the Q&A that seemed especially important.
Romney believes – or at least wants you to believe – that he and Paul Ryan can balance the budget while cutting taxes on the rich, increasing defense spending, and increasing Medicare spending, all without raising taxes on the middle class. Anyone with common sense and a calculator knows such a plan is silly, but Romney says he can pay for his multi-trillion-dollar plan through ending various tax deductions and cutting spending.
Which tax deductions? Romney and Ryan refuse to say – the former governor told Fortune he'll "work with Congress to identify which of the alternative methods we should apply to reduce deductions, benefits, and exemptions." In other words, maybe after voters elect him, Romney will tell voters what he'll do.
And what about the spending cuts? Asked for specifics, Romney told Fortune:
"[T]here are programs I would eliminate. Obamacare being one of them but also various subsidy programs – the Amtrak subsidy, the PBS subsidy, the subsidy for the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities. Some of these things, like those endowment efforts and PBS I very much appreciate and like what they do in many cases, but I just think they have to stand on their own rather than receiving money borrowed from other countries, as our government does on their behalf."
In Grown-Up Land, destroying the Affordable Care Act would make the deficit significantly worse, not better – Obamacare saves the country hundreds of billions of dollars – making this part of the plan particularly incoherent.
But what about the other specifics? Sam Stein explained, "The government spends $444 million a year on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (the parent organization of PBS); Amtrak received $1.56 billion in federal funding in 2010, with $1.3 billion in stimulus funds; while the National Endowment of the Arts lists the current level of federal funding at approximately $146 million."
Looking at a deficit of a trillion dollars, the Republican has a plan to make the budget shortfall significantly worse, then make it ever-so-slightly "better" by nibbling around the edges.
In fairness, I should note that Romney also intends to save a little more by eliminating health care for the poor through Medicaid, and through some vague plan involving shrinking federal programs through attrition.
But even if Romney implemented all of these efforts exactly as he's promising now, would they eliminate the deficit while he also cuts taxes and increases defense and entitlement spending? Of course not.
Anyone who takes this nonsense seriously isn't paying close enough attention. For all his talk about having the courage to make tough calls, Romney's still taking the coward's way out.

Michael Sam #52 of the Missouri Tigers celebrates with fans after the game against the Kentucky Wildcats at Commonwealth Stadium on November 9, 2013 in Lexington, Kentucky. Missouri won 48-17. ; Credit: Joe Robbins/Getty Images
Michael Sam, an All-American defensive lineman from the University of Missouri and a N.F.L. draft prospect, has come out as gay, paving the way to become possibly the first openly gay player in the pro-football league.
The 24-year-old Sam made his declaration to The New York Times on Sunday. At 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds, Sam was named the top defensive player in the Southeastern Conference, thought to be the country's best college football league.
Sam is expected to be picked in the third of later rounds of the NFL draft in May. Does his disclosure positively or negatively impact his draft prospects? Is the NFL, with the league's macho overtones, ready for an openly gay athlete? How are fans reacting?

Graduate Schools
If you plan to continue formal training after graduation, it is wise to consult with members of the staff during your junior year. The departmental bulletin board carries announcements from graduate and professional schools, including notification of scholarships and other aids. The Office of the Registrar houses the most complete collection of catalogues from these schools, which may be consulted there. A Reference Librarian can help you find addresses for graduate admissions offices, if you wish to write requesting a catalogue or other information. At present Professor James Mark Shields (105 Coleman Hall, 570.577.1336, email@example.com) is Bucknell's Graduate School Advising Coordinator, who systematically collects information about scholarships and other general data. The departmental grad school advisor is Professor John Doces, though any member of the department will be happy to advise students on advanced study of political science. The pre-law advisor can be contacted through the Career Development Center. Since these advisors do change, consult the Dean's Office if you have questions.
Applications for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) are available from the academic assistant for the Department of Political Science. Advice about professional schools in management (including public administration) usually can be obtained from the dean's office in the Freeman College of Management (Taylor Hall). Information concerning the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is posted on the bulletin board; fuller details may be obtained from the academic assistant for the Department of Education. It is best to begin planning for graduate and professional school applications spring semester junior year, then you will avoid some of the rush during fall semester senior year when formal applications are normally due.
Career Opportunities
The Career Development Center is an excellent source of information about careers open to liberal arts students; it should be visited early on during your stay at Bucknell: don't wait until your senior year! In addition to the opportunities available through the CDC, some of our graduates have found very interesting and meaningful work using contacts developed during Washington and other internships, for example. The department has in stock complimentary copies of a very useful pamphlet, Careers and the Study of Political Science, published by the American Political Science Association. For your copy, see Mrs. Foster, 265 Coleman Hall.

Shrewsbury have signed Stephen McGinn on loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old Watford midfielder is set to be involved as Graham Turner's side travel to Scunthorpe.
McGinn joined Watford in January 2010 after starting his career at St Mirren, where he made 84 appearances and scored goals against both Celtic and Rangers.
He has made 42 appearances for Watford since arriving at Vicarage Road but has not made a first-team appearance since rupturing knee ligaments in 2011.
The midfielder is hopeful that the move will "get his career back on track" .
"I'm looking forward to getting back playing on a Saturday at 3pm," he told Shrewsbury's official website.
"This is a good league with a lot of good clubs and the standard of training was very good. I was very impressed so I'm looking forward to it."
Turned added: "He picked up an injury at Watford which kept him out action for a while, he's raring to go now and we've taken him on loan until the end of the season.
"He is a good midfield player with a good eye for a pass and he chips in with some important goals."

I LOVE this piece!
Reviewer: Dev Suroop Kaur
This is a gorgeously stunning piece and I totally love it. I've been using pre-release versions of it in my yoga classes and it's a perfect soothing soundscape. Also, I've added it to what I call my 'airplane mix' which is a collection of pieces to help put in me in a peaceful space when traveling. Highly recommended.

Your doctor has prescribed shots (injectable medicine) to prevent or treat blood clots. This medicine is an anticoagulant (an-tihko-AG-you-lent). Sometimes it is referred to as a blood thinner. Along with the anticoagulant medicine, your doctor may prescribe other methods to prevent blood clots. These may include wearing support stockings, doing ankle pumping exercises, getting out of bed the day after surgery, and going to physical therapy. Any or all of these may help to prevent blood clots.
Some common medicines in anticoagulant shots are Lovenox®, Fragmin®, and Arixtra® or heparin. Your doctor will choose the medicine he or she feels is best for you. Some patients may need to take these shots for only a few days until their oral anticoagulant (warfarin or Coumadin®) has time to be effective. Your doctor will tell you how long you need to take your shots.
It is very important to follow the instructions for your anticoagulant shot. You should take your shots at the same times every day. Before you start using an injectable anticoagulant, you or a family member will receive special training to learn how to give a shot. If your doctor has also ordered an oral anticoagulant like Coumadin® or warfarin, you must have regular blood tests to see if your dose needs to be adjusted. If the dose of your oral anticoagulant needs to be changed, your doctor will tell you the new dosage to take.
The blood tests will also help your doctor to determine how long you will need to continue taking shots. It is very important that you keep all your appointments for blood tests and follow-up visits with your doctor.
Follow the guidelines below if you miss a dose of your shot.
If you miss a dose of Fragmin® or Arixtra®, take your usual dose as soon as you remember. If you don't remember until the next day, do not take a double dose. Take your usual dose, and call your doctor.
You will be able to do most of your normal activities while taking this medicine. You need to follow some precautions.
If you have any of the following, call your doctor or anticoagulation provider:
If your doctor prescribes Fragmin®, Lovenox®, or Arixtra® for you, you will receive this medicine in a prefilled syringe. Before giving the shot, make sure that you have:
When you give yourself a shot, look at the diagram (figure 2) and find the letter that is closest to the site where you put the needle in.
Find that letter on the chart to the right and write today's date in the box.
This will help you keep from using the same sites too often.

Rhinopithecus strykeri
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Rhinopithecus strykeri Geissmann, Ngwe Lwin, Saw Soe Aung, Thet Naing Aung, Zin Myo Aung, Tony Htin Hla, Grindley & Momberg, 2011
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Geissmann, T., Ngwe Lwin, Saw Soe Aung, Thet Naing Aung, Zin Myo Aung, Htin Hla, Grindley, M. and Momberg, F. 2011. A new species of Snub-Nosed Monkey, genus Rhinopithecus Milne-Edwards, 1872 (Primates, Colobinae), from northern Kachin state, northeastern Myanmar. American Journal of Primatology 73: 96-107.
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This is a new species of Snub-nosed Monkey from the high altitudes of northeastern Kachin state, northeastern Myanmar. Descriptions are based on a skin and skulls of four specimens obtained from local hunters. The new species is geographically isolated from other Snub-nosed Monkeys and separated from them by two major barriers - the Mekong and the Salween (Thanlwin) rivers.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Critically Endangered A4cd ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Geissmann, T., Momberg, F. & Whitten, T.
|Schwitzer, C. & Molur, S.
The species is listed as Critically Endangered under criterion A4cd. Geissmann et al. (2011) estimated a three-generation period for this species of 18 years, and the time-frame used for this assessment applies to the past three years and is projected forwards for the next fifteen years. The total population size was estimated between 260 and 330 individuals. Based on the interviews with hunters (Momberg et al. 2010), at least 13 Burmese Snub-nosed Monkeys were hunted during 2009. If this figure is extrapolated to three-generation spans (at least 18 years), the rate of loss would be 234 monkeys, or 90% of the conservatively estimated current total population of 260 individuals. Under this scenario, in order to keep hunting success stable with decreasing supply, hunting effort would have to increase. All the evidence on threats indicates that hunting pressure (directed and undirected) is likely to increase considerably in the next few years as new dam construction and logging roads invade the distribution area of this newly discovered Snub-nosed Monkey. The 90% population reduction scenario also implies that will be very little to no population growth, although this may be unlikely, it is very probable that there will be increasingly less recruitment over the next fifteen years as the population declines. Hence an estimated and projected population reduction of more than 80% over the three generation period seems perfectly reasonable for this highly threatened species.
|Range Description:
|The trapping locality of the holotype was determined as 26.431011°N, 98.388941°E (elevation 2,815 m) in the Maw River area, northeastern Kachin state, northeastern Myanmar. Preliminary surveys and notes on habitat associations indicate that the range of the new species encompasses the mountain forests in the watershed area of the Maw River, a tributary to the N'mai Hka River, and forests across the range to the east above the village of Chichitago. The species therefore appears to be limited in distribution to a small area of the Salween-N'mai Hka divide in northeastern Kachin state, northeastern Myanmar. The coordinates of the distribution area are 26.31°–26.51°N and 98.34°–98.61°E.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Myanmar (Myanmar (mainland))
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Geissmann et al. (2011) estimated that there are approximately three to four groups of Burmese Snub-nosed Monkeys, which occur in three distinct parts of the distribution area around Maw River. The first group, distributed north of the Maw River, contains approximately 60-80 individuals; the second group, south of the river has about 80-100 individuals; and a group of about 150 animals appears at the foothills of the snow-capped mountains above the Chichitago village. The total population size was estimated at 260-330 individuals. The generation length of Snub-nosed Monkeys is unknown, however, Geissmann et al. (2011) used the age at first reproduction as a minimum estimate of generation length. In other species of Snub-nosed Monkeys, the average age at first reproduction is 4–6 years in females and 6.5–7 years in males (Li et al. 2003; Liang et al. 2000; Quan and Xie 2002, cited in Liu et al. 2009; Zou 2002, cited in Cui et al. 2008). This gives an average of about six years for the age at first reproduction.
After two years of field work in this area the only direct encounters with this species were by local support staff (twice) and not by any scientists and the presence of the species in the wild was only confirmed through camera traps (one group of eleven including three mothers with infants, and two individual animals on three camera traps in total) over a nine month period (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012). Given the lack of direct evidence, the population size estimates given above are treated as being highly uncertain and as a result, these numbers are not used in the assessment of this species to see if it would qualify as Critically Endangered under criterion C. The lower population estimate of 260 is very close to the required threshold of less than 250 mature individuals; the species would most certainly qualify as Endangered under criterion C1 and C2.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The distribution area is mountainous, and slopes are very steep in most places. The main forest types in the range of the Snub-nosed Monkeys are cool temperate rain forest and mixed temperate forest. Silver fir forest occurs at elevations of 2,745-3,660 m (conifer zone). There is no information how high up the mountains the monkeys go, but the highest mountain in this range is 3,660 m. According to local hunters, Snub-nosed Monkeys spend the summer (i.e. the snow-free times from May to October) mostly at higher altitudes, in mixed temperate forests and conifer forests. In winter, however, when snowfall probably restricts the availability of food, the monkeys descend to lower elevations and may be found closer to villages.
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|The species is hunted for its bones and head (skull and brains) presumably for medicinal purposes. The bones and heads are sold to Chinese workers at the nearby road construction and logging camps, as well as to wildlife traders in Kangfang, the nearest town on the Chinese border (T. Geissmann pers. comm. 2012). It is also hunted for its fur. A bag made out of the skin of a juvenile Snub-nosed Monkey was obtained from a hunter from Htantan on 23 February 2010.
|Major Threat(s):
Snub-nosed Monkeys are threatened by direct and indirect hunting pressures. Animals are hunted and trapped for their bones and heads, but most often monkeys are unintentionally trapped in iron traps that are set to trap deer or wild pigs to supply the local bush meat trade (this has been confirmed by local hunters and there is camera trap evidence of the monkeys travelling on the ground where traps have been set) (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012). Already with the still limited construction work camps, commercial bush meat demand has increased sharply over the last two years (2010-2011) and is set to accelerate (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012). Monkeys may also be caught in traps set for bears (T. Geissmann pers. comm. 2012).
Habitat degradation, due to the creation of roads and other infrastructure is rapidly becoming a major threat. Logging roads have now been built into all the areas occupied by this species since 2009 (some are within 200 m of the camera traps) (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012). With the increased access, the influx of Chinese workers to the area as part of the logging and dam building operations is accelerating and it is expected that when the dams reach the full construction stage there will be at least 10,000 workers employed in this area (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012).
Habitat loss due the impacts of logging is very serious due to large scale mechanical logging (blasting of logging roads, use of heavy equipment and winches, reaching ridges and even peaks) taking place, especially as the largest part of the range area is conifer forest and during the snow-covered winter months the Snub-nosed Monkeys (just as R. bieti) depend on lichens for food (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012). As the logging is effecting most mature conifer trees, food sources especially in winter are becoming scarce. The logging practices are causing serious destruction because logging takes place at high altitudes and even on slopes with more than 70 degrees slope inclination (these areas are accessed using winches and roads are blasted through cliffs). Land slides are becoming increasingly common as a result of the loss of tree cover. The lower mountain broad leaf forest is also impacted by logging (targeting hardwoods) and landslides caused by logging roads. Shifting cultivation reaches from the N'mai Hka river valley up to 2,000 meters, flooding following dam construction will displace shifting cultivation areas in the valley bottom to higher areas, increasing the pressures on the Snub-nosed Monkey habitat (F. Momberg pers. comm. 2012).
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. The area is not yet under Myanmar government control (it is within the ceasefire area with the National Democratic Army of Kachin), there are no border controls, no presence of enforcement agencies, and no rule of law. It is not known if the species is present within any protected areas. There is an urgent need to maintain areas of suitable forest within the range of this species.

Minister for International Development Heidi Hautala will host an international conference, Conflict, Violence and Disaster in the Post-2015 Development Agenda, on 13 March, to discuss the devastating effects of conflict, violence and disaster as well as new post-2015 development goals. The conference is part of the ongoing global consultation process which aims to meet the new development challenges after the deadline for the Millennium Development Goals has passed. Conference delegates will be high-level representatives from UN Member States, NGOs, the private sector and UN agencies.
In 2000, world leaders reached agreement on how the world would be made a better place. Eight development goals were set, and it was decided to achieve them by the year 2015. Of these Millennium Development Goals, three have already been achieved: poverty has been cut in half, the living conditions of slum-dwellers and access to clean water have improved, and as many girls as boys now start school. However, there is still a way to go.
As the deadline approaches, the debate in the international community is accelerating: What are the post-2015 development challenges and how these can be met? The question has been posed in nearly a hundred countries and on all continents; "What is the world we want?" The conference to take place in Helsinki is one in a series of UN-led international dialogues.
Disaster increases poverty and slows down development. The conference in Helsinki will explore the points of convergence between development and conflict, violence and disaster, and will formulate development objectives for influencing them.
The conference in Helsinki is organised by the United Nations Development Programme UNDP, the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office PBSO, the United National Office for Disaster Risk Reduction UNISDR and the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, in cooperation with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.

Perfect for a Bedroom System
I've had the Microvee paired to a couple of Klipsch towers for about a year now and I have to admit that this is the best sounding subwoofer to have in a small room. Seeing that it's only a 6.5 inch driver, it isn't going to hit super low frequencies and take the air out of your lungs, but it will definitely fill in the missing low-end of your system and still get loud when you need it. One thing I love about this sub is its accuracy. I can listen to almost any genre of music with near-perfect sound reproduction. With a tiny footprint and the ability to hook up in almost any system, this is definitely worth the addition to my room setup.

Salvatore's Italian Gardens was the setting on Wednesday, Nov. 7, for the annual Region 12 DECA Installation Dinner. This occasion is the official installation of DECA members for the 15 schools in the Western New York region, and more than 550 students and guests were in attendance. The speaker this year was Corey McGowan, former Grand Island High School DECA president and coordinator of this year's hugely successful Taste of Grand Island/Mural Project. McGowan's message to the membership of DECA was that the club prepared him for his future and gave him an edge over other students because of what he learned from competing in DECA at the regional and state levels. Networking, resume-building and interviewing were all a part of McGowan's DECA experience in high school.
DECA is a business and marketing club with 115 members at Grand Island High School and has even started up a chapter with MaryJane Fonte for eighth-graders at Veronica Connor Middle School this year.
In closing, McGowan recommended joining DECA to students pursuing any career field, in order to help them be better communicators and ready for the world of work.
