Bucky confidential
My most fond memory involving Benny Bronco: a U.C. Davis/SCU football game at Buck Shaw, circa 1984. After a UCD touchdown, a couple of their male cheerleaders came over in front of the SCU student section to do pushups for every point they had on the board. Benny, in good spirits, sat on one of the cheerleaders' backs. The cheerleader, thinking there was a male inside the costume, came up swinging. Witnessing this, Rich "psycho" Genoff, the head groundskeeper at Buck Shaw, starts pounding the UCD cheerleader to the resounding delight of the SCU student cheering section. I don't remember if UCD scored again, but their cheerleaders stayed on the other side of the field for the rest of the game.

I was a cheerleader for SCU 1978–80. At that time Mary McFarland '80, a.k.a. "Mary Mac," was Benny Bronco. She was indispensable in entertaining the crowd. She was extroverted, entertaining, a good sport, as glam as a mascot can be, and a good colleague for us cheerleaders. She got more attention than we did and certainly could get the crowd going. Being Benny probably helped her prepare for her job right after college, which was entertaining on a cruise ship. The article was a fun read.

|Live Bronco: Benny and Pat Carr '66
The Redwood
Thanks for a great article on Bucky Bronco. It conjured memories of the fleeting era of "Benjamin B," to my knowledge the only live equine mascot in the history of the University. The photo here, from the 1966 Redwood, shows Benny Bronco and yours truly scooting across Buck Shaw Stadium during one of the football games.
I had bought a young quarter horse colt from my grandmother, originally a cowgirl from Saskatchewan. I arranged with the Rally Committee at Santa Clara to pay for Ben's "room and board" at Alum Rock Stables, and to spring for horse trailer rentals when we conveyed him to football games. I "blanket broke" Ben—but he was high-strung and strong. He could tow an entire section of folded, empty bleachers across the stadium unassisted—as proven one night when I tied him to a bleacher section and went to the snack bar to get a hot dog, only to be alerted by the roar of the crowd as I returned and saw him charging across the field.

Why women professors?
Thank you for your article on the women professors [in the spring SCM]. As an undergraduate and law student, I had wonderful professors of both sexes. Some favorites were Eleanor Donohue J.D. '84, M.A. '85, Sister Gemma Neunzling, Marcia Frederick (Lifeboat), and Cynthia Mertens.
I served as an adjunct professor in the '80s, teaching family law. I love the students and their enthusiasm; they offered a wonderful challenge and gave great insights into common perceptions about legal rights.

Eleanor Long taught me that when doing research, it was not enough to dig deep enough to prove that you were right. You had to be willing to dig deep enough to find out if you were wrong. A lesson worthy to be remembered in all walks of life.
Fernley, Nev.
Working with Janice Edgerly-Rooks of the biology department got me interested in research, and her mentorship inspired me to apply to graduate school. I love the path my life has taken, and I owe so much of that to Janice. Now that I'm also a professor here at SCU, I try to model Janice's passion for science and similarly pass the joy of research along to my students.
Chair, Dept. of Environmental Studies at SCU
Barbara Kelley '70 is a wonderful magazine journalism professor I had during my time at SCU. She showed genuine interest in my improvement as a journalist. Her enthusiasm for the trade is one of the reasons I am at the U.C. Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism today. Also, since graduating, I—and a ton of other women—have particularly benefited from her book and blog that she writes with her daughter, Undecided. It's an excellent ongoing conversation about the trials of women in the modern world and the choices that haunt and hoist us.
Jagienka Drweski was my freshman acting teacher. She was able to pierce straight to the heart of a person, situation, idea, or motivation with ease, all while having a smile on her face. She was much more than an acting professor; she offered a great example of how to live with sincerity and without fear.
I entered SCU without a declared major and signed up for an introductory political science class as part of my overall requirements. When Professor Jane Curry would start a lecture, the people, places, and events came alive; she actually did know many of the Eastern European power brokers throughout the region and flew there regularly to participate in the ongoing transition of Eastern Europe from a closed, socialist system to an open, democratic one. She explored psychology, history, economics, and art through the lens of political science. Her insight has had a great impact on how I see the complexities of the world.

Opening new doors in the Philippines
Beautiful, just beautiful. I cried watching the video and looking at the photos from the Philippines [in Mission Matters, Spring SCM]. That wall mural is fantastic, and such an affirmation of the dignity of the people of Manila. And Suzy's comfort of Thelma—bless you all.
Rockport, Mass.
I'm one of the Filipino staff here at SCU and I'm very touched by Thelma's story. Thank you for the kindness that you showed her.

Reunion reflections
|1941 football team scoring a win. The Redwood
The recent 70th reunion of the Class of '41 will probably be our last. It was a unique class: The total student body was about 500 during the Great Depression; tuition was $1,000 per year, including room and board. Our class started with 150 and graduated 100. Eighty percent boarded, and the whole student body had dinner at 7 p.m. in Nobili Hall. It was prepared and served by local Portuguese women. At the far end were "training tables" for 45 football players. If we had a
glass of milk, they received a pitcher, and everything else was in proportion. After classes, they spent two hours of strenuous practice on Ryan Field under coach Buck Shaw. They were mainly Irish from the Mission District and Italians from North Beach with a smattering from around the state. They regularly defeated Stanford, Cal, UCLA, St. Mary's, USF, and visitors from Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas, climaxing as Sugar Bowl champions.
We also had a great basketball team, coached by George Barsi. The "Magicians of the Maplewood"—Bruce Hale and Marty Passaglia, the first fast-break forwards—turned pro, as did Bob Freerick at guard.
Ours was the last class with organized freshman hazing. I wore a beanie for six months, which I didn't mind at all, but there was also physical harassment. Two sensitive fellows dropped out as a consequence.
We were the last class to graduate before World War II. There were two years of compulsory ROTC, wearing woolen blouses and breeches from World War I and wrap-around leggings. The two French 75 cannons were never fired, but we did a lot of marching. We all went into the armed services. About a dozen did not return. Of flyer fatalities, four died during training, a statistic not known to the general public.
Our small classes taught by dedicated professors provided an excellent education. The most valuable subject I ever studied was a course in logic taught by Fr. Austin Fagothey. I hope logic is still a required subject for all Santa Clara students.
|Grand reunion: Becky Villarreal and William F. Cahill '61
While at Santa Clara for the Class of 1961's 50th, I found myself at the corner of Franklin and Lafayette looking south and trying to re-create in my imagination the wonderful looming form of The Ship—a building that, in a heavy wind, during thunderstorms, during earthquakes, etc., creaked and groaned like an old wooden sailing vessel. I remember how, in 1958, I was on stage there and became conscious of the great array of ropes, lines, curtains, and panels that hung down above and to the left and right of the stage. A complex set of apparatus hung high above the stage: great wooden wheels, pulleys, and gears. From the vantage of the second floor, the theatre auditorium and stage seemed a great ship's hold. The huge wooden walls bounding the hold to the west and to the east were the hull, the doors on Franklin the prow, the stairs rolling up to those doors were the waves of the sea. The ropes, lines, curtains, and panels suspended there seemed a great set of sails, for a caravel maybe, stored vertically in the hold from where they would be shot up fully masted into the sky somehow when the right time came.
After the William Gianera Society luncheon in October, I fell in with some members of the Class of 1956, and in their company also was Becky Villarreal, the 2011 Louis I. Bannan, S.J., Award winner. As she and I talked, it came out that in the fall of 1957, when I—as a freshman—bought my Santa Clara jacket, she was the one who had sold it to me! I wore that jacket, leather arms much patched, to the Gianera luncheon and still had it on.

Sugar Bowl sweetness
|Frank "Mississippi" Smith
My father was Frank "Mississippi" Smith [part of the 1937 Sugar Bowl team mentioned in the winter magazine]. He died in 1999 in California's Napa Valley. He was the seventh child in a family of 12. He was born and raised in the little town of Picayune, Mississippi. From the stories he told, his boyhood rivaled that of Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn. Once his father made him a shoeshine kit to help earn a little extra money. He would take his shoeshine kit to the local barber in Picayune and polish shoes. He had a raccoon in a cage to attract customers. He mastered the shoeshine rag—he got to where he could pop a boogie-woogie rag that not only shined the shoes of his customers but also made them feel like dancing as they walked away.
During the Great Depression, he sewed a $20 bill into the lining of his coat and hopped on a freight train headed for California. In San Luis Obispo he worked for his aunt; there was a football team, so grandpa joined and would play after work. One day a scout from the University of Santa Clara offered him a scholarship to go to Santa Clara. So he enrolled in the Mission University. When Buck Shaw took his team to New Orleans to play in the Sugar Bowl, my father had his own rooting section because so many of his family were there. We heard many stories of that game; I used to think there might be a little exaggeration. However, one day he came back from a Santa Clara reunion with a videotape of the 1937 Sugar Bowl game. Then we saw that all those stories were true.

A connection she treasures
I am writing on behalf of my mom, Rose Jones. She recently mentioned to me that she missed receiving the wonderful Santa Clara Magazine in the mail each quarter. At 94 years young, she takes pride in that my dad, J.M. (James Moran) Jones '38, graduated from the School of Engineering. Though he's been deceased for several years, and Mom is afflicted from age-related macular degeneration, she has looked forward to receiving and reading the magazine. ("The print isn't that small that I can't read it.") This says a lot about being part of the Bronco family. So, if we can get her back on the mailing list, to receive her copy of Santa Clara Magazine, that will be awesome! Thank you for such a well-established publication that we enjoy reading and sharing with others.
My dad's younger brother, P. T. (Patrick Thomas) Jones '39, also was at SCU when my dad was. I grew up Bronco, as when we were kids, my dad would bring us to the campus—and in those days, the highlight was the huge cross in front of the Mission, with the hedge shaped in the letters of SCU in front of it. We have lots more family history with Santa Clara—this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Two and a Half Men Returning for Season Eleven, Minus Half a Man
Angus T. Jones is no longer a regular.
Looks like Angus T. Jones's rant against his livelihood ("Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth. Please.") paid off — while Two and a Half Men will forge ahead to an eleventh season, Jones won't return as a regular cast member. According to Deadline, "he may do guest-starring appearances." Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer each signed one-year deals. They're TV's highest-paid actors, with Kutcher having earned $700,000 an episode for season ten, and Cryer making a tad less.

U.S. financial regulators will boost scrutiny of banks' commodities holdings and use their authority to pursue evidence of fraud and manipulation, the heads of two agencies told lawmakers today.
"We're a market regulator overseeing the commodity futures, swaps markets and have clear authority to police markets for fraud, manipulation and other abuses," Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler said at a Senate Banking Committee hearing where he testified alongside Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Jo White. "We will use those authorities appropriately where we see abuses and pursue it."
Gensler and White, who said she would ask the SEC staff to weigh changes to disclosure requirements, responded to questions raised by Senator Sherrod Brown about whether markets and consumers are being harmed under rules that permit lenders including JPMorgan Chase & Co. to own and trade commodities. New York-based JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank, agreed today to pay $410 million over claims that it manipulated power markets in 2010 and 2011.
"It seems like there's a huge amount of conflict of interest and a huge amount of market manipulation and it doesn't seem like much action," Senator Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat, said in a follow-up to questions from Brown, an Ohio Democrat. "When these prices go up it's a huge tax on the economy whether it's in the price of a beer can or aluminum siding."
Revenue Generator
The 10 largest Wall Street banks generated about $1 billion from physical commodity units in 2012, and about $5 billion from commodity derivatives and financing, according to data from analytics company Coalition Ltd. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. ranked No. 1 in all commodities revenue, including derivatives, followed by JPMorgan.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were in the commodity business before converting to bank holding companies during the 2008 credit crisis. The New York-based companies are permitted under a 1999 law to keep commodities businesses they were in before 1997.
The Federal Reserve said this month that it will review a decade-old decision letting banks trade commodities seen as complementary to banking. JPMorgan said on July 26 that it will sell or spin off commodity holdings including warehouses, stakes in power plants and traders of gas and coal.
Gensler, declining to comment on specific investigations, said his agency has legal authority to pursue manipulation of markets for metals and other commodities. His agency has sent letters to companies asking them not to destroy documents relating to warehouses registered by exchanges such as the London Metal Exchange or Chicago Mercantile Exchange, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Bloomberg.

Back in 1981 Sammy Hagar had a big radio hit, singing, "There's only one way to rock." When it comes to setting up a digital music server, however, there's most definitely more than one way. There's hundreds of ways, but most of us want something simple. Digital audiophiles go to great lengths to turn laptops or old towers into music servers, running them through digital-to-analog converters to boost the sound and then using any number of ways to stream the music to an audio system. The drawback of such an approach means that you have an extra computer, and that it always has to be turned on, and so on. A better solution, in my mind, is to bring all aspects of computer audio together into a single server, player and streamer. And that's just what the Olive Opus 4 Hi-Fi Digital Stereo does. It makes its easy for anyone to corral a large music collection and access it from a single point and call it good.
The Opus 4 has a lot going for it. First, it sports an elegant design, with an angled face and a top decorated with a printed mosaic of musical styles. The chassis is cast from aluminum, which gives it some heft and also assists in reducing operating noise and vibrations. Olive touts that it can be stacked atop traditional stereo receivers – and it can and comes with padded feet – but I'm anti-stacking altogether. Keep it isolated and you'll have no scratched surfaces, no unwanted heat dissipation or other unintended audio nasties. The Opus 4 looks great and fits in nicely with a home audio/theater system. It looks like a piece of audio equipment instead of an external hard drive. Second, it's simple to setup and use. You don't need to a computer or a bunch of extra wires and connections to get the Opus 4 up and running. The back of the unit is equipped with a pair of RCA analog outputs for connecting the Opus to an amplifier or receiver. Optical and coaxial digital outputs make it possible to run the Opus through an external DAC. Although Olive has fitted the unit with a good-sounding DAC of its own, I'm confident that a stand-alone DAC could take the sound to a new level.
Second, it's easy and fun to use. Getting the Opus 4 up and running took about 30 minutes. The only parts to fiddle with are the supplied WiFi antenna, power cord and remote control. The unit walks you through setup and makes connecting to wireless router a snap – just make sure you have the router password handy. I connected the Opus 4 to an amplifier via the RCA outputs, adjusted the volume and was soon listening to music. My review unit came ready with a bunch of music spanning multiple genres, so I was able to dial in to everything from Beethoven and Michael Buble to Eric Clapton and John Mayor.
Third, memory is upgradable. It wasn't too long ago when 100GB seemed as big as the solar system; not so now. We're now in the Terabyte age, and for those like me with massive music collections it's possible to fill a 1 or 2 TB drive with uncompressed music files. The Opus I received for review had 500 GB of memory, which is sufficient for most households. Such a system can hold approximately 812 CDs in WAV format, 1,433 in FLAC and 8,957 in respective MP3 and AAC formats at 128 kbit/s. Currently, the Opus 4 is offered with either a 500 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB drive. Even a music junkie would have a task to fill the 2 TB, holding some 5,778 CDs in FLAC format. But it would be fun to try!
If you'd rather watch paint dry than load a bulging CD collection into the Opus 4, Olive can help. The company offers a preload service, including the first 100 discs free of charge, whereby your server will come filled and ready to play. Purchase an Opus 4 online and choose the preload option. Bundle your CDs on a spindle, package and send to Olive using a supplied shipping label, order and tracking number. Olive will digitize your collection, converting the music to FLAC. The discs are also tagged with relevant music information (album, artist, song etc.) and album artwork. Visit http://www.olive.us/products/preload_process.html for complete pricing details.
According to Opus, the hard drive is "cushioned in 8 layers of noise canceling padding." A passive cooling fan eliminates noise from a spinning fan. I can assert that the unit operates in glorious silence. That's been one of the driving arguments for a hard-drive based music server versus a CD player – any CD player – that the digital bits will playback without noise associated with the working mechanisms of a CD player, no matter the build quality or price. The Opus 4 can also multi-task, which is a huge timesaver when you want to listen to music and fill the drive at the same time. It can take many hours to load the system and it's nice to have music playing while performing the task. I suspected that the Opus 4 would bog down when asked to do two things at once, but it performed without issue every time I loaded a disc while music played. It encodes MP3 at either 128 kbit/s or 320 kbit/s, AAC at 128 kbit/s, as well as FLAC and WAV. I went with FLAC as my default encoder, as it offers uncompressed CD quality while taking up about half the space as WAV files.
The front display is actually a high-resolution (480 x 272 pixels) 4.3 inch, color LCD touchscreen that is also controllable via remote. Music can be sorted by artist, album name, album art, genre and more. Once you load the Opus 4 up with albums, it's pretty cool to scan through the library via album artwork. Bring an album's artwork to the forefront and press OK on the remote to access the songs.
Although the CD info came through on some rather obscure recordings such as Nic Jones' Penguin Eggs and Focus' Hamburger Concerto, it was far from perfect. I'd estimate that 20 percent of the discs I tried to load came up empty in regards to album info. Inputting this information with the touchscreen's keyboard is an option but not one I'd likely entertain for more than a handful of discs.
A USB port makes it easy to backup the data on the Opus' drive to an external hard drive. I didn't try this, but the owner's manual suggests the process can take several hours – time well spent, though, to protect your music library. You can also transfer music stored on a computer directly to the Opus via the USB port by dragging and dropping files.
As much as I like the design of the Opus 4, its remote control is a bit disappointing. Compared to the Opus 4, it's rather pedestrian, a plastic control that can be a finicky responder. I found the touchscreen to be more consistent and responsive to commands. The 500 GB Opus retails for $1,499, and at that price should come with a better remote. The good news is that Olive offers a free app (iMaestro) for the iPhone or iPod Touch that turns the respective piece into a remote with full functionality of the LCD display. That app looks very cool.
Internet Radio
I was recently in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and while driving around the city I tuned into the local classic rock FM station. Beyond the Steve Miller and Lynyrd Skynyrd tunes that every rock station has played to death were a handful of songs that I had never heard before. The station placed a heavy emphasis on Canadian artists and broadcast several tunes that I wanted to know more about. Unfortunately, my timing was off and I either missed or there was no back-announcing of tracks. It was a drag hearing music that I would have likely purchased but couldn't get artist info. That's not a problem, though, with Internet radio and another reason for keeping the Opus 4 turned on. Unlike subscription-based satellite radio services such as Sirius or XM, the Opus 4 can connect to thousands of commercial-free digital radio stations without charge.
The choices are practically endless and adding a new station is as easy as typing in the URL. You can browse by Public & Info Stations for college, community, public, sports and talk radio. Tune into stations by region for broadcasts from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, China, France, India, Japan, Russia, Spain and beyond. Or, find music by genre including 50s-90s, bluegrass, blues, classical, folk, jazz, lounge and many more, each selection opening a new window and presenting dozens of individual streams. I'm a huge fan of Celtic music, so I dabbled with the different stations under that umbrella. Within 10 minutes I found a song that I had never heard and really liked, but unlike my Thunder Bay experience or analog tuners in general, the artist and track information was displayed before me. I recognized the artist – fiddler Ashley MacIsaac – but not the tune – "Sleepy Maggie." I was hooked. It's a great way to explore and discover new music, and the sound quality is excellent. If you like surfing the Web for Internet radio, you'll love the Opus 4.
The Opus 4 comes ready for wireless (802.11g) and wired (Gigabit Ethernet) connectivity. It also , and supports WEP and WPA encryption (up to 128-bit). Olive makes a companion product called the Melody 2 Hi-Fi Multi-Room player, which when used in conjunction with the Opus 4 enables users to stream music wirelessly to 10 different Melodys. Not only that, each Melody can play a different song. So if you have a handful of the players throughout the house, the Opus 4 can serve as a master music library, letting you listen to Mozart in the office, Metallica in the living room and Marvin Gaye in the bedroom.
Final Thoughts
Tucked inside the Opus 4 is a high-resolution DAC that's a pretty good performer. To get the best from the Opus 4, I recommend connecting it to a quality amp or receiver, and certainly to good speakers. Like a better CD player, the Opus 4 will expose a poorly recorded CD just as it will let an expertly recorded disc's sound shine through. I really like the unit's quiet operation, having a ton of tunes at my fingertips and a display that shows me what's happening. It's easy, fun and as one of my friend's said, "That thing is cool as Sh.." Well, I don't think Olive will use that line in its ad campaign, but, yes, it's cool. Extremely cool.

Is your car or truck up to the challenge of driving in inclement weather?
No matter what part of the country you live in, whether Snow Belt or Sun Belt, now is the time to make sure it's ready for the onslaught. Here's what you should check:
TIRES: People ignore their tires until one goes flat. But nothing else affects your car as much as an under-inflated tire.
Cold weather causes tires to lose air pressure, so it's a good idea to check. The proper amount is not listed on the tire; it's posted on the driver's side front door jamb on most newer cars and trucks.
While you're at it, check the tread. Take a penny and place it upside down into several places across the tire. If the top of Abe Lincoln's head is showing, it's time to replace the tire.
Also, check the state of the tread itself. If a tire is worn on both edges, it is under-inflated. If it's worn in the center of the tread, it's overinflated. If you spot cups or dips in the tread, it is usually a sign of worn parts. Have the suspension or steering systems checked.
Finally, if your car has summer performance tires, consider replacing them with winter tires.
BATTERY: As the temperature drops, more juice is required to get your car or truck started each morning. Replacing your battery ahead of time is beneficial in two ways: You can buy a new one on sale, and you won't be left stranded.
Deciding when to replace it is simple. For example, if you have a 36-month battery, you can expect three years of trouble-free charging. But as the 36-month mark approaches, think about replacing the battery a bit shy of that point instead of waiting until the last minute.
Also, have your car's alternator, voltage regulator, belts and connecting cables checked.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WASHER FLUID: If the wipers are streaking, replace them. Also, if you dilute windshield washer fluid with water, use it up. Replace it with pure washer fluid that won't freeze below 32 degrees.
COOLING SYSTEM: If you can't remember the last time your vehicle's cooling system was flushed, check your records. Then, look at the owner's manual. Flushing the system removes sediment and rust particles to prevent clogging. Be sure to use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze to water. Also, be sure to use the proper antifreeze. Many newer vehicles specify a new, longer-life engine coolant, not the traditional green type. Finally, replace any dried-out, cracked hoses.
LIGHTS: Seeing and being seen is important in nasty weather. Have a family member or friend stand outside the car, to make sure all the vehicle lights work: headlights, fog lamps, tail lamps and turn signals.
BRAKES: When roads are coated with rain, sleet and snow, stopping distances increase. If your last vehicle check showed your brakes to be marginal, or the brakes squeal when coming to a stop, now is the time to get them checked and/or replaced.
DEFROSTER: Do all of your defrosters work? This might seem like an insignificant item — until you need it.
CLEAN YOUR CAR: Getting your car cleaned and detailed does more than remove the accumulated salt, sand and grime of summer. A great wax job seals the paint and preserves the finish.
Inside, a clean car is a pleasant car. Wipe down all surfaces. For leather surfaces, use a leather cleaner and moisturizer to prevent cracking. Clear out the glovebox, center console and rear cargo area. Vacuum the seats, carpet and headliner.
You'll have the peace of mind that a new life form isn't spawning under the seat.
BE PREPARED: A breakdown, flat tire or other inconvenience can occur at any time.
Pre-assembled emergency and first aid kits are available at auto parts stores, but you might want to build your own. Be sure to include screwdrivers — Phillips and flat-head, pliers, socket wrenches, duct tape, electrical wire tape, electrical wire spray, WD-40, flashlight with extra batteries, coolant hose repair kit, a small fire extinguisher, tire gauge, road flares, spare fuses, foam tire sealant or a portable air compressor, jumper cables, rain gear, work gloves, roadside assistance phone number, a disposable camera (to record accident damage), spare fluids and nonperishable food.
Also, consider adding kitty litter (for added traction under a slipping tire), a flashlight, work gloves, a small shovel, a windshield scraper, jumper cables, a first aid kit, cloth or paper towels, drinking water, nonperishable snacks and a blanket.

NC hospital treating TB patient who walked out of SC hospital
NC hospital treating TB patient who walked out of SC hospital
Health officials say a homeless man with tuberculosis who walked out of a South Carolina hospital is now being treated in North Carolina.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Robeson County Health Department officials said 57-year-old Louis Rainone was brought by ambulance to Southeastern Regional Medical Center on Wednesday.
Tracy Jones, epidemiology supervisor with the Robeson County Health Department, said officials have notified the state's Division of Public Health about the case. State officials couldn't be reached immediately for comment.
Rainone left the hospital in Columbia Tuesday night. He had been undergoing treatment since May for the contagious bacterial lung disease that can be spread through the air.

Skip to comments.Obama does a little Christmas shopping on "Small Business Saturday" [Vomit Bag Alert]
Posted on 11/26/2012 9:20:29 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
Hoping to encourage other Americans to participate in "Small Business Saturday" as an alternative to big chain-friendly Black Friday, President Obama today visited an Arlington, Va., bookstore to cross some items off his family's Christmas list.
Accompanied by his daughters Sasha and Malia, the president journeyed across the river to One More Page Books, which the White House described as an "independent, neighborhood bookstore." After consulting his Blackberry for an apparent holiday wish list, he purchased 15 children's books before even browsing the store.
(Excerpt) Read more at m.cbsnews.com ...
I can see how the press would be confused here. Obama wasn't shopping. He was just delivering another two feet of government regulations.
what a splendid idea for the little people to emulate
I do believe next weekend I'll have the chauffeur take me and the kids to a small independent bookshop (aka a hobby business) and buy some books next Saturday, then home to finish off the leftovers of 6 Thanksgiving pies and an organic brine soaked turkey
Obamugabe's hatred of small business is apparent in his Obamacare and regulations....his charade doesn't fool me.
I saw the logo for "Shop Small" over the weekend. It obviously came from the same design shop that created the "Obama Brand," so this is their brainchild. I find it strange that he is promoting "small businesses," considering those are the ones that ObamaCare will put out of business first.
You would THINK the fake journalists at some network would be curious about that...
Are we allowed to say that Obama was "Christmas" shopping? I thought the liberals have told us we need to mindful that there are many holidays this time of year, and you should call it "holiday" shopping because those who don't celebrate Christmas will be offended otherwise.
Would it be bigoted to think that Obama celebrates Kwanzaa?
Using Communism to help the middle class is like using Nazism to help the Jews.
I can't stand that s***-eating grin Oblamer always has on his face.
He celebrates himself and nothing more.
It took about 4 years since phase I of the meltdown started for anyone (in big govt or big business) to get around to suggesting that we should be encourage people to buy at local small businesses.
It took them that long to put together 1 piece of the puzzle, a piece that's obvious.
The elites that advise and control politicians are about as stupid as humans can get.
And that's who the nation is under control of.
This campaign, I believe, came out of big business, not the White House. I know AMEX had a campaign. Since AMEX is a Morman outfit, putting 2 and 2 together, it would appear that it was a campaign put together in hopes that Romney would have been elected and it would be the beginning of trying to jumpstart something. At least it shows there are a couple of neurons firing in somebody's brain. The Obama administration, on the other hand, has absolutely no clue, even about their true objective of transitioning America into the one world government of the elitists, CEO's, academia, etc.
Their failures will ultimately hurt themselves the most; they just do not have a clue. It's funny, IMHO. Decent citizens simply eventually vomit out tryants, laws they don't like, oppression, etc., yet the Hillaries, Jarretts, Rices, etc., are so haughty they can't just shut up and get a real job.
Hillary, tells us the details about what really happened with those cattle trades.
You and me both. i can just imagine what's going on in his warped, nasty mind while he's grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Wells Fargo's (NYSE:WFC) consumer banking site was undergoing a denial of service attack on Tuesday that triggered intermittent disruptions for some users.
Continue Reading Below
The attack, which mirrors similar ones that have temporarily downed the sites of major U.S. banks like J.P. Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), comes three weeks after a group claiming to be aligned with Islamic terrorists threatened to unleash a fresh round of attacks.
"Today we've seen an unusually high volume of website traffic which we believe is a denial of service attack," a Wells Fargo spokesman told FOX Business.
The San Francisco-based bank said a "vast majority" of customers were not impacted and their personal information remains safe. For those having difficulties accessing the site, it is encouraging them to try logging on again, calling the disruptions "usually intermittent" and apologizing for the inconvenience.
The al-Qassam Cyber Fighters posted on popular forum PasteBin.com earlier this month declaring new attacks on nine U.S. bank sites until a video mocking prominent Muslin figure was removed from Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) YouTube.
The same group took the credit for a series of relentless DDoS attacks in the fall.
The attacks tend to do little outside of temporarily impacting a site's usability. Customer's funds and personal information usually aren't compromised in such attacks.
FoxBusiness.com's Adam Samson contributed to this report.

Royal Mail wins court order to halt strike but threat of action still looms
Members of the Communication Workers Union were set to walk out from October 19.
The Royal Mail has won a court injunction halting a planned 48-hour strike by postal workers but still faces the threat of industrial action before Christmas.
Members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) were set to walk out from October 19 after voting massively in favour of industrial action in a long-running row over pensions, pay and jobs.
It would have been the first national walkout since Royal Mail was privatised four years ago.
Royal Mail argued in the High Court that the union was in breach of its contractual obligation not to call for strike action until an agreed external mediation process was held.
Mr Justice Supperstone granted the order, saying: "I consider the strike call to be unlawful and the defendant is obliged to withdraw its strike call until the external mediation process has been exhausted."
The Royal Mail said the mediation process will take close to Christmas to be completed, and may be longer, but CWU officials warned that industrial action could still take place before Christmas.
General Secretary Dave Ward said: "The company are deluded if they believe their court room politics will resolve this dispute. Instead the company's actions will have the complete opposite effect.
"Postal workers' attitude towards the company will harden and it makes us more determined than ever to defend our members pensions, jobs, service and achieve our objectives.
"Unless the company significantly shifts its position on a range of issues and we can quickly conclude a good agreement for our members then strike action is inevitable.
"We walked into the court today with a massive 90% yes vote for strike action – we walked out of the court today with a massive 90% vote for strike action.
"We want an agreement and will comply with the injunction to undertake further external mediation. But sooner rather than later Royal Mail Group will have to confront the harsh reality that they are completely out of touch with the views of its workforce."
Deputy General Secretary Terry Pullinger added: "We saw today that Royal Mail Group would rather spend time, money and resources playing politics than engaging with this union to reach an agreement.
"Our members are square behind the CWU and from this moment we are putting Royal Mail on notice of further action should the mediation fail.
"We will use the mediation process to seek an agreement but also to galvanise support amongst our members and the public.
"If Royal Mail Group are not serious about reaching an agreement we will not hesitate to call strike action immediately after the mediation period closes."
Royal Mail said: "The court's final injunction means that any strike action before the dispute resolution procedures have been followed would be unlawful.
"We will now make contact with the CWU as a matter of urgency to begin the process of external mediation. The mediation process will take close to Christmas to be completed, and may be longer.
"The first step is selecting a mediator acceptable to Royal Mail and the CWU from a panel that was agreed by both parties under the Agenda for Growth.
"The Agenda for Growth is a balanced agreement which gives significant protections to Royal Mail employees. In return, the CWU committed to an industrial stability framework with defined processes and strict timescales to resolve disputes. We want to use them to do just that.
"We are very committed to working closely with the CWU in order to reach agreement as a matter of priority."
Speaking outside the court, Mr Ward said there was now a timeframe for a round of external mediation, adding: "We believe that still means we can take action before Christmas."
Gill Furniss, shadow minister for postal services, said: "Royal Mail's decision to take the dispute to the High Court – and today's ruling – are extremely disappointing.
"CWU members voted by a momentous 89.1% in favour of industrial action in defence of secure pay, pensions and the future of the service.
"Despite this setback Labour will continue to support Royal Mail workers in their fight for decent pay and conditions."

UPDATE: MNsure Says New System Running Smoothly
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Officials with Minnesota's new online health insurance marketplace say the system is running smoothly on its first full day of operation after a bumpy start the day before. Shoppers themselves are reporting mixed experiences.
MNsure spokeswoman Jenni Bowring-McDonough says consumers created over 2,500 accounts by midafternoon Wednesday. She says the website is averaging 2,000-3,000 concurrent users, and is averaging 30,000-50,000 hits per hour.
She says MNsure expects figures at a later date for how many people have enrolled for coverage.
Consumers still report some glitches. They include David Berge, a pastor with two young children in Shoreview, who says he tried unsuccessfully at least 10 times to create an account. His high-deductible plan expires at the end of the year, so he wants answers about his options soon.

There are several games on both of my iOS devices at any given time from just about every genre. But there are only a few games I go back to on an almost daily basis and that's because they are fun, addictive, and a great way to keep in touch with friends and family.
These "casual" games are turn-based and require you to connect with a friend to start playing -- there is no single-player option with this collection. They have also been around for a while, but that's kind of the point: these are the games I continue to play because it only requires a couple of minutes to take my turn and send it to a friend. While it is sometimes a pain to go in and complete my turns (especially when life gets busy), the overall experience of competing with your friends and family is a good one and acts as a way to stay connected, even in our busy everyday lives.
This week's collection of apps is all about connecting with friends with casual games. The first plays like an old table-top classic, with modern extras that keep the game fun. The second is a color-matching game where you lay down groups of three tiles for points. The third is a dice game where you'll take turns with a friend to get specific dice rolls.
Scramble With Friends (iPhone|Android - 99 cents), from Zynga, has enjoyed much success in the iTunes App Store with classic Boggle-like gameplay, and it's a game that I go back to regularly on my iPhone.
As in Boggle, the object of the game is to find as many words as you can in a jumbled grid of letters by connecting adjacent letters to form words. You can form words vertically, horizontally, and diagonally by touching a letter and swiping across more letters until you complete a word. You have 2 minutes to find as many words as possible. There's nothing new here for anyone who has played classic Boggle, but Zynga's familiar interface and social-networking site connectivity make it easy to jump in and start playing with your friends from wherever you are.
Scramble with Friends lets you sign in through Facebook, then shows you who in your friend list already has the game. From there, you can quickly invite a friend to a game and play your first 2-minute round. When you're done, simply wait for your friend to play a turn and it's back to you (just like Words with Friends). You play three rounds to compete for the highest total score.
As Scramble with Friends has evolved, new extras have been added to kick the game up a notch. Before beginning a round, you can select from four Power-Ups to give you a leg up, and your opponent has the same options. The freeze power-up stops time, giving you more than the allotted 2 minutes to find a few extra words. The inspiration power-up actually shows you the location of three words you have not yet selected. If you choose Scramble, you can mix up all the tiles. The latest power-up to the party is Vision, where the game challenges you to find three words, and, once found, give you 15 seconds of extra time. These bonus power-ups add a little something more to the classic game of Boggle and keep the action interesting.
Using a tried-and-true classic word game as its starting point, an intuitive interface, and easy game matching, it's no wonder Scramble with Friends is a big success in the iTunes App Store and on my iPhone. I think anyone who likes word games like Boggle should immediately download this well-polished title.
Matching with Friends ($2.99, full version - Free, ad-supported version) is another Zynga app that lets you play a turn-based game with a friend on the iPhone only. But instead of playing a word game, this time you'll be strategically placing matching colored blocks on a game board, then sending your move to a friend.
Like Scramble with Friends, Matching with Friends makes getting connected with people easy. Upon launch you'll be asked to sign in through either your Facebook or Twitter account. Once logged in, you can search for other players from your friends list or get automatically matched with a random player.
I started up a few games when Matching with Friends was released, and I'm still playing with the same people now. Immediately when I started, I found the colors vibrant, the controls easy to understand, and the bonus alerts self-explanatory. The only difficult thing about Matching with Friends is how to describe the gameplay.
The game is a little confusing at first, but it teaches you the ropes, letting you play a short single-player game to show you the basics. The object is to use your three sets of three jelly cubes and match them with the colors of the jelly cubes on the board. You can rotate your three cubes to match up better with cubes on the board (touching more cubes of the same color) and to land on multiplier tiles for big points. When you're done placing all three sets of three cubes and you're satisfied with the positioning, you end your turn, sending your moves to your opponent.
Each turn plays out in the same way, but there are a few variables that add to the fun. You can swap your jelly cubes for different color variations that might work better with what's on the board, and you also have bonus items like a bomb that can get rid of a colored cube (or group of cubes) that doesn't fit with your strategy.
What the gameplay and bonus items amount to is a challenging strategy game that requires thought, but quickly becomes second nature as you try to formulate the best move possible for the most points in each turn.
If you haven't tried Matching with Friends, check out the free, ad-supported version linked to above. Once you start getting the hang of matching up colors and increasing your multiplier, I think you'll be hooked like I am.
Dice with Buddies (iPhone|Android - $1.99) is another great casual game, but this time you're playing a turn-based game similar to Hasbro's Yahtzee. As with the other games you can play with friends, family, or match up with a random opponent, but there is no single-player option.
The game plays almost exactly like Yahtzee. In the beginning you have a clear board that you'll slowly fill up with each turn. The dice rolls required to finish your board are laid out with die numbers in the upper section of the board (number of threes or fives for example), and more complex combos in the lower section (four of a kind or large straight). With each turn, you get three rolls of the dice, but you can select specific dice to hold, then roll the remaining dice to get a better hand. Though it's a little hard to explain, Yahtzee players will feel right at home, and it's much easier to just start playing to get the hang of the game.
Dice with Buddies might be the least involved of this collection, and you'll get through turns extremely quickly after only a couple of games. But something about rolling the dice and trying to get the best scores for each category is wildly addictive, and I think most people will agree that it's one of the better casual turn-based games available.
Like I said at the outset, none of these games are new, but instead are old standbys that keep you coming back on a daily basis. If you're looking for a great way to connect up with a buddy and play some casual games, I recommend all the games in this collection.

Shut out all night at the Golden Globes, the historical drama "12 Years a Slave" eked out the night's top honor , best film drama, while the con-artist caper "American Hustle" landed a leading three awards, including best film comedy.
David O. Russell's "American Hustle" had the better night overall, winning acting awards for Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence . Best picture was the only award for "12 Years a Slave," which came in with seven nominations, tied for the most with "American Hustle."
Awards were otherwise spread around. Matthew McConaughey took best actor in a drama for his performance in the Texas HIV drama "Dallas Buyers Club." Leonardo DiCaprio, a nine-time Golden Globe nominee, won his second Globe for best actor in a comedy for his work in "The Wolf of Wall Street." Alfonso Cuaron won best director for the space odyssey "Gravity," a worldwide hit and critical favorite.
The night's biggest winners may have been hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, whose second time hosting the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Beverly Hills, Calif., ceremony was just as successful as last year's show. Fey concluded the night by toasting the awards as "the beautiful mess we hoped it would be."

Preston family caught up in camera mystery
Preston - When the digital camera was first discovered Wednesday by a tree service crew, Chelsea Ennis' first thought was "creepy," after realizing the camera was capable of shooting video.
The camera, attached to homemade rigging with several battery attachments and a swiveling holder, had likely dropped out of one of the trees being limbed by the workers outside her parents' home off Quinebaug Drive.
"We thought the worst at first … that someone had put this in the tree," Ennis said. "You never know what people are trying to look at."
Her sister's boyfriend, a police officer, added a theory about a criminal casing the family's home and tracking their routine in preparation for a future burglary.
The family quickly dropped the voyeur and burglar theories, however, after finding out the camera still contained a memory card with 76 benign images.
It was a mystery begging to be solved. She and her family now can't help wonder who the people in the photos are and where the images were taken.
The series of images start from within a vehicle, as if someone attached it to the dashboard. A person's blurry face is visible in one photo. There are pictures taken at ground level, and the camera later rises, capturing aerial shots of a forest, a farm with a barn and a nearby river.
The time stamp places the photos in January 2012, and the scenery might very well be Connecticut, she said.
Gale Ennis, Chelsea's mother, got a chance to look through the photos Wednesday evening and thinks she has identified a farm off of Route 2 in North Stonington.
Aerial photography is becoming more common as cameras are made lighter and people explore ways to get them aloft, whether by kite, remote-controlled helicopter or balloon.
"It appears it was made to hang off of something," Chelsea Ennis said of the camera. "It's almost like someone put up a balloon. … Maybe it hung from the balloon and somehow broke loose."
Gale Ennis said a man in one photo appears to be holding something attached to a string, lending credence to the kite or remote-control theories. She thinks the apparatus may be too heavy for a balloon.
"What were they trying to do? We would love to find out who owns the camera," Gale Ennis said.
Those questions and how the camera ended up in her yard remain a "neat little mystery."

Venezuela gathered foreign allies and thousands of supporters in an impromptu inauguration for the gravely ill and absent President Hugo Chávez in an example, critics say, of how the president and his allies have bent the democratic system to suit their purposes.
Nothing shows the extent of Chávez's grip on power quite as clearly as his absence from his own inauguration Thursday.
It's possible he may die. But his death wouldn't be the end of the revolution. Of that I'm sure.
- Jaime Salcedo, a Venezuelan farmer
In many ways, it looked like the sort of rally the president has staged dozens of times throughout his 14 years in power: The leader's face beamed from shirts, signs and banners. Adoring followers danced and chanted in the streets to music blaring from speakers mounted on trucks. Nearly everyone wore red, the color of his Bolivarian Revolution movement, as the swelling crowd spilled from the main avenue onto side streets.
But this time, there was no Chávez on the balcony of Miraflores Palace.
It was the first time in Venezuela's history that a president has missed his inauguration, said Elias Pino Iturrieta, a prominent historian. As for the symbolic street rally, Pino said, "perhaps it's the first chapter of what they call Chavismo without Chávez."
Yet in the crowd outside the presidential palace, many insisted that Chávez was still present in their hearts, testifying to his success in forging a tight bond of identity with millions of poor Venezuelans.
The crowd chanted: "We are all Chávez!" Some wore paper cutouts of the yellow, blue and red presidential sash to show they were symbolically swearing in themselves in, in Chávez's place.
Those in the crowd raised their hands and repeated an oath after Vice President Nicolas Maduro, Chávez's designated successor: "I swear by the Bolivarian Constitution that I will defend the presidency of commander Chávez in the street, with reason, with the truth!"
"Viva Chávez!" Maduro said. He called for a round of applause for the president's Cabinet ministers, saying they were starting a new term, and he said of Chávez: "He's in a battle."
The Venezuelan leader, normally at the center of national attention, is so ill following a fourth cancer surgery in Cuba that he has made a public statement in more than a month, and has not appeared in a single photo. Officials have not specified what sort of cancer he suffers or which hospital is treating him.
The opposition, limping off of two recent electoral defeats, seems powerless to effectively challenge him, and critics see their impotence in the battle over his new inauguration as an example of how the president and his allies have, both previously and now, bent the country's democratic system to suit their purposes.
Despite opposition claims that the constitution demands a Jan. 10 inauguration, the pro-Chávez congress approved delaying the inauguration and the Supreme Court on Wednesday endorsed the postponement, saying the president could be sworn in before the court at a later date.
Opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado called that move a "well-aimed coup against the Venezuelan Constitution" and echoed other critics' suspicions that foreign allies are influencing events in Venezuela: "It's being directed from Cuba, and by Cubans," she told The Associated Press.
Opposition leaders called for protests on Jan. 23, the anniversary of the fall of the country's last dictatorship in 1958.
But it is unclear how much support the opposition's complaints can generate amid an outpouring of public sympathy for the ailing president, and with Latin American neighbors either supporting the government's stance or reluctant to step into Venezuela's domestic affairs.
The government invited foreign leaders to add political weight to Thursday's event, and they filled a stage in front of the presidential palace as Maduro addressed the crowd and called it a "historic event."
A recording of Chávez singing the national anthem suddenly appeared, and his followers sang along. At the end, his voice boomed: "Long live the Bolivarian Revolution!"
Sitting beside Maduro were presidents including Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Evo Morales of Bolivia and Jose Mujica of Uruguay. The government said officials from about 20 other nations were on hand.
Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman said President Cristina Fernandez was traveling to Havana on Thursday to see Chávez.
Some raised the possibility of Chávez's death, though no one uttered the word.
"There's a man who's fighting a battle for his life, who is in all of your hearts," Mujica told the crowd. "But if he isn't here tomorrow, unity, peace and work, dear friends."
While the visiting leaders spoke, fighter jets thundered overhead, flying low. Members of the Cabinet waved to them, and the crowd went wild waving flags. One of the warplanes did a roll.

Upward Bound Program Excites and Prepares Students for Success in College, Life
Dannielle Wright of Bridgeport says she's proof that the Upward Bound program at Sacred Heart University helps students not only get accepted into college, but to succeed once they're there.
A University of Bridgeport freshman working toward a career as a child advocate, corrections officer or other human services profession that provides hands-on care and services to needy populations, Wright, 18, spent all four of her years at Bridgeport's Central Magnet High School participating in Upward Bound — a federally funded college preparatory program that in the 23 years it's been at Sacred Heart University has provided academics, tutoring, counseling and cultural and social enrichment to more than 1,500 students.
Thanks to a recent grant from the U.S. Department of Education, the program will this year be able to increase the number of young people it annually serves from 55 to 63. Youths from low-income homes, or who will be the first in their families to attend college, are the focus.
"Upward Bound was a huge learning experience for me," said Wright. "It meant that sometimes I'd be doing school work while my friends were just hanging out, but it was really important for my future and my success in college right now. Now while some of my classmates are just learning concepts and hearing terms for the first time, I'm already familiar with them. For me, a lot of freshman year so far has been more review, which has let me focus on adjusting to college life and those subjects that are new."
It's Upward Bound's summer session that provides the components Wright is referring to — six intensive weeks of academic classes that range from creative writing and U.S. government to public speaking, chemistry and psychology 101. They are taught by experienced area high school teachers. During the school year, the program meets twice a month on Saturdays, providing workshops on goal setting, SAT preparation, self-esteem and self-defense, alcohol and drug awareness and other topics designed to "whet teens' appetites for an amazing and productive life beyond high school," said Carylanne Rice-Ehalt, director of the program.
During the fall and spring college semesters, Sacred Heart students join the program as volunteers, working with Upward Bound students as tutors and mentors.
"The focus of Upward Bound has changed over the years, going from a program focused on keeping kids in high school to one that really prepares them for entry and graduation from college," Rice-Ehalt said. "Upward Bound today is about opening up teens to new opportunities and experiences and guiding them toward all the many possibilities of life provided by education.
"One of the many benefits of our program is its location at Sacred Heart," she continued. "It exposes teens to what college is all about. Because they come to Sacred Heart to take summer classes and take part in fall and winter workshops, college isn't just a concept. It's a reality. And as part of the program, we make sure we expose them to everything that goes along with it, including the application process and financial aid."
Savannah Brown, a high senior who's been involved in Upward Bound since her freshman year, said she wrote, edited and perfected her college application essay with the help of program teachers over the summer. "I have friends at school right now who are struggling to even figure out what they want to write the essays about, and mine is all done," said Brown, whose older sister also took part in Upward Bound and now attends the University of Connecticut. "I'm not sure yet where I want to go to college, but I know that wherever I go, I'm prepared and will excel. Because of Upward Bound, I have tons of new friends, structure year-round, and my brain never takes a break. My goal is to be a neonatologist and work with premature babies."
Open to students as early as the summer after they graduate from eighth grade, participants must either live, or attend school, in Bridgeport and be in need of academic support. All participants receive free, year-round bus transportation and, during day-long programs, a full lunch from the Sacred Heart cafeteria. Added program components include college visits, parent workshops and — a particular highlight for both Brown and Wright — enrichment trips to New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and other locations.
"I never would have gone to any of these places without Upward Bound, and they were all incredible," Wright said. "At first I was mad at my mother for making me come to this program. I wanted to sleep during the summer and hang out with my friends. But then I made so many new friends at Upward Bound and realized that it was helping me think out of the box, get ready for life and that my teachers really cared."
Statistics say Upward Bound students become more critical and positive thinkers, make better life choices and are four times more likely to earn a college degree. But Rice-Ehalt is quick to point out the benefits that aren't always so documentable: "I loving seeing kids' eyes light up when they walk into a Broadway play or see Boston for the first time; when all of a sudden they really see what college is all about and start to get excited about the possibilities of where their lives can take them. Each one of these kids is special to me, and the teachers that I work with feel the same way. All of us are motivated and excited to be part of this program."
Students interested in learning more about the Upward Bound program at Sacred Heart or attending can speak with their guidance counselor of fill out an online application form.

Highs today reached into the upper 60's this afternoon with ample sunshine. Fine weather for early February.
Tonight under mostly clear skies and calm winds the temperatures are going to drop down close to freezing. Expect a chilly start to your Superbowl Sunday.
But also expect a super day weather wise. We expect lots of sunshine and highs getting into the upper 60's. For those getting to a Superbowl party the weather is fine for travel. Pregame starts at 1:00pm on CBS 11, kick off is at 5:30pm. CBS is the proud host of the largest television event of the year.
Clouds will be coming in during the late day and evening from the west. These clouds bring with it rain chances on Monday.
I expect to see some light rain around overnight into Monday morning. The morning commute could have some wet roads. The shower activity will increase as the morning goes on, the best chances of this light rain (amounts will likely stay under .10″ in most places) will be east of DFW:
Take a look at rain chances for north Texas on Monday and you notice quickly how the eastern half enjoys the better chances:
Rain chances will return late Thursday and linger into the weekend. It appears that February is off to a mild start; we expect highs in the 60's through the period:

This is Cassie! She is our new beautiful APBT girl! This poor girl was dumped right after she pumped put a litter of pups. As you can see she's a short little stocky girl. Can't say exactly how tall she is cause she never stops with the pitty wiggle. She's a bunch shorter than my guy who's 20in. She is incredibly friendly! She loves all people even kids! She behaves very well around other dogs but would not be suitable for a multiple dog household. We think she's less than two years old. She's housebroken, crate trained, and walks well on leash. Her foster mom uses positive reinforcement training with her and says that she responds very well. Check this gem out!!!

I actually said "oh God!" out loud. ( I read the entire post first then scrolled down to the pix) she is GORGEOUS. That is a GREAT stance and even after the "wean-n-dump" she has a great coat and decent muscle tone. Eyes are clear and "thoughtful" with solid black nose and good clean rims around eyes...dang! dare I say... she appears relatively well-bred... or have I just been subjected to too much BYB scatterbred pit mix madness? Lucky you- I LUV her. And great bio on the behavior-home needs

Research in community psychology is differentiated by its goals, its methods, and the topics addressed. It is action oriented, with the overarching goal of leading to real change in our institutions, communities, and societies.
The (In)compatibility of Diversity and Sense of Community, by Zachary Neal and Jennifer Neal Watling, explores the hypothesis that diverse neighborhoods may lack the characteristics necessary for a strong sense of community, while neighborhoods with the dense social networks that support sense of community may routinely lack diversity.
The research was published in the March, 2014 issue of the American Journal of Community Psychology and highlighted in The Atlantic: Cities publication.
