|Climbed the Signalkuppe in 1982 and spent 2 nights up at the Margarite Hut, up on the summit. The low atmospheric pressure was apparent when one of my companions opened a container of milk powder, which then erupted like a mini-volcano, plastering him in milk powder from head to foot.

|From the Sella hut we went over Il Naso (4100 meter) on to the Monte Rosa trail. In good but windy conditions we traversed the Parrotspitze before reaching the Margherita hut on top Signalkuppe. Coming next morning there was no visibility and we had to cancel Zumsteinspitze and Dufourspitze and instead delicately find our way down the Grenzgletscher to the Monte Rosa hut in poor visibility.

While electronic eyeballs may eventually be a solution to restore sight for the visually impaired, or even to enhance vision for those with normal eyesight, they still are very crude and may have a long way to go. In a classic race between electronics and biotechnology, it appears that biotechnology may have caught up with an incredible solution to restoring vision.
Scientists and the University of New South Wales in Australia cultured corneal stem cells on extended wear contact lenses. They then cleaned the corneas of three patients -- two of whom were legally blind and one with limited vision (they could read the biggest row of the vision chart) -- and had the patient start wearing the lens.
Amazingly, within 10 to 14 days the stem cells had reentered the cornea and began to recolonize it. UNSW's Dr Nick Di Girolamo describes, "The procedure is totally simple and cheap. Unlike other techniques, it requires no foreign human or animal products, only the patient's own serum, and is completely non-invasive."
The two legally blind patients can now read the top row of a vision chart, while the vision impaired patient can read enough of the chart to get their driver's license.
The technique still has unknowns. While the patients have regained vision, lasting for over 18 months, there's a chance the gains won't last. While the cornea has no blood supply and gets its oxygen from the air, but it remains to be seen whether the blind patient's tear fluid is sufficient to sustain the new eye tissue in the long term.
Still, Dr. Di Girolamo says the technique looks promising and holds promise even to patients with damage to both eyes. Dr. Girolamo states, "One of our patients had aniridia, a congenital condition affecting both eyes. In that case, instead of taking the stem cells from the other cornea, we took them from another part of the eye altogether – the conjunctiva – which also harbors stem cells."
Corneal diseases are a leading cause of blindness. According to the World Health Organization, damage to this delicate organ causes 1.5 million people to lose sight in one of their eyes every year.
The UNSW team is looking to expand the work to cover other types of ocular damage. Previous research by other teams has shown that stem cells could potentially be used to grow entire eyeballs. They also believe the technique could be applied to regrowing skin and other damaged tissues.

Puig sidelined for second game by thumb injury
By Earl Bloom / Special to MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- Yasiel Puig was not in the Dodgers lineup for the second game in a row Tuesday night because of a left thumb injury, but manager Don Mattingly said the outfielder "is still kind of day to day" and might be available in some capacity against the Tigers at Dodger Stadium.
Mattingly said Puig, who also missed Sunday's game against San Francisco, was going to be fitted with a splint so he could do baseball activities.
"He's going to hit inside, and he can throw," the manager said.
Carl Crawford started in left field, Matt Kemp in center and Andre Ethier in right.
Mattingly said he was not sure how Puig could be used, if at all, in the opener of the two-game series. Puig was available to pinch-run Sunday but did not enter the game.
Federowicz recalled, in starting lineup at catcher
LOS ANGELES -- Tim Federowicz, just recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque by the Dodgers, caught right-hander Dan Haren on Tuesday night against the Detroit Tigers.
No. 1 catcher A.J. Ellis underwent left knee surgery Tuesday and will be out four to six weeks. Drew Butera, 30, caught Sunday against San Francisco and will likely share the job with Federowicz, 26, in Ellis' absence.
"There's no pressure -- I've been a starting catcher my entire career," said Federowicz, who's been in 66 games for the Dodgers over the past three seasons. "I know what it takes."
He said he expects to be the primary catcher with Ellis out but hasn't told been told that. Manager Don Mattingly said that, with the team's abbreviated spring for the Australia trip, Federowicz was sent to Albuquerque to get the at-bats he missed in the exhibition season.
"We'll see how it works," Federowicz said.
Ellis, already hurting before he was thrown out on a close play at the plate Saturday against the Giants, gave Federowicz a heads-up with a text message.
"That's the kind of guy he is," Federowicz said. "He said he'll be in tomorrow, and I'll get to talk to him then.
"I've been studying A.J. and how he prepares for a game -- that's what I want to work on. Defense will be my main focus."
Federowicz said he's ready for the challenge.
"Absolutely," he said. "I've been ready for a while. It sucks, the circumstances, but that's the way the game is."
Right-hander Zack Greinke gave Butera a ringing endorsement Sunday after their first game together turned into a 6-2 Dodgers victory.
"He's a defensive specialist, he can catch as good as anybody in baseball," Greinke said. "A.J. calls a great game and is outstanding defensively. It's just that Drew is as good as it gets."
Butera said: "That's nice of him to say. He made it very easy on me."
Neither catcher has hit much in the big leagues. Federowicz has a .227 career average over 176 at-bats; Butera, son of former big league catcher Sal (1980-88), is at .180 over 500 MLB at-bats. The Dodgers want defense first though, which they feel the two will provide.
"We have some guys who can step up," Mattingly said. "We feel like Fed and Drew are capable."
Asked if the rest of the Dodgers lineup should be able to cover for the defensive-minded catchers, Mattingly said: "I think we should be able to. We're capable of scoring more. We'll see what we'll get."
Beckett expected to start finale against Tigers
LOS ANGELES -- It likely won't be official until sometime Wednesday, but right-hander Josh Beckett will make his first Dodgers start of 2014 that night against the Detroit Tigers at Dodger Stadium.
Beckett again tested the ankle he tweaked Friday during a rehab start before Tuesday's game and said it's fine.
The 2003 World Series MVP is on the disabled list because of a right thumb injury. He pitched into the fifth inning Friday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga before coming out after he tried to field a bunt. Beckett completed a normal bullpen Sunday, and he said the arm is fine and the ankle didn't bother him.
"We haven't announced it yet, but he looks like the guy" to start Wednesday, manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday.
Beckett is coming off an injury-shortened 2013 and underwent surgery in July to remove a rib and alleviate a nerve problem.
The Dodgers would need to activate Beckett from the DL and make a corresponding roster move before Wednesday's finale of a two-game set.
Billingsley OK; scary pop was only scar tissue
LOS ANGELES -- The sensation that Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley felt while pitching Sunday in a rehab start was scar tissue breaking in his surgically repaired elbow and not a major setback in his comeback from Tommy John surgery.
"Guys coming back from any surgeries have scar tissue," Billingsley said Tuesday before the Dodgers played the Tigers at Dodger Stadium. "Sometimes it pops, sometimes it doesn't."
The pop he felt in his second inning for Class A Rancho Cucamonga against San Jose came on a curveball, Billingsley said.
"It was just scar tissue breaking, like cracking your neck," he said. "It didn't hurt when it happened, it didn't hurt after it. It didn't feel like pain I had in previous injuries."
But, Billingsley said, he'd never had scar tissue break before while actually pitching, so he was concerned and asked to be taken out of the game. He returned to Dodger Stadium on Sunday night, where Dr. Neal ElAttrache examined him and gave him the thumbs-up.
"I didn't know what it was before I got back here," Billingsley said. "One of our trainers was with me, and he told me it looked OK to him."
Billingsley will take a few days off from throwing before resuming rehab. He's scheduled to make four more Minor League starts.
"I had the adrenaline going [Sunday]," he said. "I was just glad to be out there, to compete. It's great to be back -- well, almost back -- competing."

OK, I have a button that when pushed, performs various tasks (gets info from an XML file on an http server actually.) Before it does that I want it to show some output (for example, "please wait, getting file"). However... it's not doing that.
Here's the button:And here's the onclick handling code:Code:// // buttonGetName // this.buttonGetName.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(41, 38); this.buttonGetName.Name = "buttonGetName"; this.buttonGetName.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(128, 23); this.buttonGetName.TabIndex = 0; this.buttonGetName.Text = "Get line-in name"; this.buttonGetName.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.buttonGetName_Click);LineInName() is a function that actually connects to the HTTP server, sends a request, and recieves a request (which then gets output to textBoxName) - unless it's an error, which is then handled.Code:// if get name is clicked... private void buttonGetName_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { labelInfo.Text = "Getting name..."; // WHY DOES THIS NOT HAPPEN?! labelHTML.Text = ""; // or this actually. string SoapAction = "SOAPACTION: \"urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AudioIn:1#GetAudioInputName\""; string Data = "<s:Envelope s:encodingStyle=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\" xmlns:s=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">" +" <s:Body>" +" <u:GetAudioInputName xmlns:u=\"urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AudioIn:1\" />" +" </s:Body>" +"</s:Envelope>"; string name = LineInName(SoapAction, Data); // if error, display, otherwise show line-in name if (name.Substring(0, 6) == "ERROR:") { labelHTML.Text = name; labelInfo.Text = "Error."; } else { labelInfo.Text = "Got name."; textBoxName.Text = name; } }
Basically, I want to click buttonGetName, then I want labelInfo to show "Getting name..." (and clear labelHTML too) - and then access my LineInName() function. However, it's taking a while to get the file and giving no feedback while it does this.

However, it is unlikely the issue will be decided Thursday. Instead, aldermen will probably just conduct the first reading of the ordinance, as prescribed by state law. Then, the council would hear the second and third readings of the ordinance at its next meetings in February and March.
Then again, aldermen may consider the zoning change for the property at South Vancouver Avenue and West Main Street and vote.
Aldermen and Mayor Bill Eaton have differing perspectives of why they should or shouldn't go ahead and give the project a green light.
Alderman Randy Horton told The Courier he was 100 percent against it in the beginning. Horton said he has changed his mind since the ordinance transitioned to a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
"The PUD creates an opportunity for debate and for the two sides to work it out," Horton said. "Walmart addressed a lot of the prior issues such as noise and lighting."
Horton said this pertains to limiting the hours of heavy traffic, truck unloading times, and the usage of LED lighting.
"I want three readings," he said. "I oppose efforts to dispense with three readings. Certain neighbors would feel better about Walmart being there if we avoid errors and mistakes, although it has happened in the past. Also, we have to settle the Walmart issue; we're overlooking the 1 cent sales tax proposal."
Alderman Seth Irwin said the zoning has met some requirements for the PUD, which require the project must be of "the same nature as the surroundings and must meet six criteria contained in the ordinance."
"I am concerned because the original zoning is for light [small] office. That is an issue for me." he said.
Irwin explained he doesn't know how all six criteria will be met, but when they are, he will be glad to consider the merits of the proposal. The first-term alderman said Walmart has not done its job convincing the council.
"They have not gotten to the merits because Walmart has not met the procedural threshold," he said. "I am concerned with the way the proposal was couched and how Walmart representatives tried to impress us with landscaping when, in fact, the PUD requires it."
Martin Irwin said not knowing whether or not the PUD is legal has affected his voting decision.
"I have had a fairly difficult time with this all the way down the line," he said.
The plan should have started as a PUD when it was proposed, Irwin said, adding he would love to have a Neighborhood Market in Russellville, but possibly in another location. He said he is concerned about why it was not originally presented as a PUD.
"We must do what is legal," he said. "The application may not comply with the ordinance and, if so, the City Council should deny the petition."
Irwin said he has heard arguments in favor of the issue, with some saying competition is a good thing.
He believes every ordinance should have a three-time reading, he explained.
As an option, he would make a motion to suspend the three readings and ask for an emergency vote, if there is a council majority.
"But I am probably 53/47 toward a no vote today. I will know more by next Thursday," he said.
"Walmart has given the best picture possible," said Irwin, "but the roads were designed for residential use by the neighborhood."
He would like to see the Neighborhood Market built off State Highway 7, north of Interstate 40.
Irwin said he is concerned most about the long-term interest of the city. This affects incomes and cash flow, and he wants the jobs, but Walmart could have been better prepared.
Alderman Garland Steuber feels he has all the information needed to vote.
"I would like to see the council suspend the rules and vote. There is no point in having three readings, and my basis for this is jobs," he said. "The property will be rezoned some day, and right now the property is not residential anymore. The city put a road there."
When that happened, Steuber explained, the city told residents the road would increase property values, and it did. Walmart wants to put its store where the customers are.
"When someone buys a home next to undeveloped property, they have to expect it to be developed eventually," he said. "Walmart is offering a better deal than someone else might in the future. This would be hard for another company to do."
According to Steuber, this is a clear issue. It is not about whether or not there are enough grocery stores or pharmacies. The main issue is whether or not the property is suitable to be rezoned. Some people are trying to influence him to vote against it, he said.
"But, it is not in the best interest of all the people of Russellville to vote against it," he said.
He is afraid the issue is not going to pass but feels the vote is going to be close.
"We've been working with Walmart for several months," Eaton said on his way home from the Arkansas Municipal League conference in Little Rock. "We have gone through a series of changes and the situation evolved with information gathering."
The mayor was critical that the issue wasn't resolved by the council in December because aldermen were not willing to cast a vote.
"This is an evolved process, but the point is, this had come to the council during last year's meeting and the aldermen who left were reluctant to vote," he said.
The new aldermen are trying to process the information provided by Walmart, Eaton said.
"My personal perspective, if it does come to a vote, I am prepared to cast the deciding one," he pointed out. "I reserve my voting information until the meeting. I'm holding that information because of the possibility my perspective will influence the other aldermen."
Eaton said he thinks if there are any unanswered questions, they should be asked. Then, what is 30 days in the overall scheme of things?
"We need to get it right, even if it takes one more reading." he said.
The mayor said getting second opinions from other engineers outside of the those who represent Walmart is a good idea. He said he hopes aldermen will make decisions not based on a personal perspective. He also hopes for no individual agendas.
He said some have attempted to persuade council members to look at it from a personal perspective. Eaton believes the aldermen will do what's best for the city of Russellville.
Aldermen Mark Tripp, Richard Harris, Freddie Harris, and Spence Roberts didn't return phone calls for comment. Tripp was attending the Arkansas Municipal League conference in Little Rock.

The following people appeared during felony bond hearings Wednesday at the Pope County Detention Center. Their names, ages, anticipated charges and bond amounts are listed. If charged, they will appear April 16 in Pope County Circuit Court.
• Cheri Colston, 58, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia — $30,000.
• Lorene Ward, 42, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia — $30,000.
A vehicle driving eastbound on Interstate 40 was stopped near the 83 mile-marker Tuesday. The trooper reported the driver, Colston, and her passenger, Ward, both appeared nervous and gave conflicting stories. After getting consent to search the vehicle, the trooper found three suitcases full of high-grade marijuana, totaling approximately 31 pounds.
Street value for the marijuana was estimated at over $49,000.
The trooper stated Colston admitted to transporting the marijuana upon arrest.

When it comes to a military presence in Silicon Valley, most people think of Moffett Field in Sunnyvale.
Less well known is the Almaden Air Force Station atop Mount Umunhum, which closed in 1980.
Established by the Air Defense Command, the facility sat 3,486 feet above the Almaden Valley and was in active operation from 1958 to 1980.
While it's been forgotten by many, Basim Jaber is working to keep its memory alive.
Jaber is a volunteer archivist and founder of the U.S. Air Force 682nd Radar Squadron Veterans Association, and on Jan. 26 he will give a two-hour presentation on the history of the station.
Jaber will share photographs and artifacts from the active Cold War operation there from 1958 to 1980.
His talk is free and takes place from 2 to 4 p.m. upstairs in the Fire House at History Park, 1650 Senter Road.
While admission to the park is free, city parking at the site is $6.

John Lithgow and Alfred Molina: Two Old Friends Play Lovers
Though actors John Lithgow and Alfred Molina have been friends for more than two decades, they worked together for the first time last fall on "Love Is Strange," which just premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
In the film, the actors play Ben and George, a married couple struggling with both external factors, such as a job loss (due to their decision to marry) and subsequent apartment loss, and internal factors, such as the strength of their relationship.
"Successful marriages have been built on a lot less than what we've got as friends," Molina says, "so when it came to applying it to a movie marriage, it just fell into place so beautifully."
Lithgow agrees. "I just knew it was going to be easy and extraordinary. We would just make such a great old married couple, and we did."
The film explores Ben and George's relationship "at the other end of the age spectrum, where not a lot of attention is given," Molina adds. "You very rarely see stories where you've got two men in the early winter of their lives."
The actors sat with the WSJ to discuss "Love Is Strange," working on both independent and studio films, and their friendship.

Stuckin what model gps?
That's the problem, Basecamp will only read maps on the GPS memory, not the card. Not sure why that's happening, it should be able to read whats on the card. Should probably open up a trouble report with Garmin on that.
Garmin etrex 30.
You guys thing downloading it to the sim card is messing it up for me? The guy at Garmin said it would run better if the maps were downloaded to the card and not to the GPS itself. Just cant get the smaller roads to show up on Basecamp.
Albie if it's a legacy product (more than five years old) Base Camp won't necessarily see it.
thanks Albie. I was going to send the card back but he said to use it. my Maps still come up on the GPS just not the base camp. When opening up a trouble report do i do it all online or call them?
I'd do it online, calling can be a real PITA. I'm gonna do it also, figure the more people that complain maybe the sooner they get it fixed.
That's because only the base map is showing. Try going to map products in the heading line and open it up and see if your new maps are there.
Can you put up a link to the web page i need to be on? i have the hardest time on there web site. Wanted to email them about a return and keep getting asked ?'s i could not answer and i could not get to there email.
You need to log into the My Garmin page and then click on the My Support tab. Since you use your own log in and password I obviously can't link it for you.
I think i found it. Thanks. I am not a computer person. i just sent them the problem.
It won't access ANY of the maps including the latest CN or Topo maps when I have them installed on the card. If I install them directly to the GPS memory then it allows me access to them.
Also, you can actually SEE those maps on the card in the My Garmin Devices column, but you can't find them under the pull down menu for Currently Displayed Maps.
So your having the same problem when u download to ur card only Albie? Are u getting the error message when u plug in ur gps?
Nobody takes their pooter to the kitchen and krapper:huh
Morning Gents!
Here's a shot of what I'm talking about Charlie, I've got the Topo 24K and CN 2013.30 loaded on the GPS, then I have TOPO 100K and CN 2013.20 on the SD card. I can only access the 2 maps on the GPS mem, but not the 2 on the SD card.
I don't get any error messages, I just can't use the maps on the card.
Well its nice to see it might not just be me then.
If the maps all fit on the GPS with room left over is there a reason to have the card? The guy at garmin said it would run better with the maps on the card.
Well, you either have to move the maps to the GPS memory or load them up on your PC if you want to be able to use them in BC. Since you probably only need a couple blocks from CN (unless you plan on doing a lot of long road trips) the mapset should easily fit on your on your GPS.
it says the US maps are 1466mb My gps will hold 1839mb. Is that enough room to have left over? I am re downloading it to the GPS right now so i can look on Basecamp at smaller roads. Going to leave it on the chip right now and see if it will work.
I still like mapsource much better than base camp..

Thanks for watching
Not sure if this is 205 or not, but dude's got skills.

That is damn funny - thanks for the laugh to who ever made it.

Best of Bike Trial.

I am no trials rider, wish I had a fraction of that skill...
But that Non-stop malarkey is contrived nonsense. Holding/regaining balance, and repositioning at a standstill has always been a part of the toolkit of a trials rider hasn't it?
If it wasn't broke then why fix it?
Actually, no. Trials was originally no-stop and remained that way for many decades.
Oh bugger. Rather gave away my ignorance there didn't I?
I'll get my coat.
Doesn't mean you're wrong though.. Why do they go back to the old rules? I think it will limit the riders.
All good. Can anyone tell what year stop rules were first introduced?
...and as a related question, when were disc brakes introduced?
Without looking it up somehow... I'm thinkin 90

Optimistic Phillies among teams to watch Wilson throw
By Todd Zolecki / MLB.com
ST. LOUIS -- With a strong performance this week in St. Louis and Detroit, the Phillies could be buyers before the July 31 Trade Deadline.
If they perform poorly, it seems likely they will sell.
The Phillies still believe they have a chance to make the postseason, which is why they will watch free-agent relief pitcher Brian Wilson throw Thursday in Los Angeles. Wilson is 15 months removed from Tommy John surgery. He threw Monday for the Giants, but Thursday's session is expected to include numerous teams looking for bullpen help.
The Phillies certainly are one of them. Their bullpen entered Tuesday's series opener against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium with a 4.36 ERA, which is the third-worst mark in baseball.
Phillies place reliever Savery on 15-day DL
ST. LOUIS -- The Phillies on Tuesday placed another relief pitcher on the disabled list.
Left-hander Joe Savery landed on the DL with stiffness in his left elbow. The club recalled left-hander Raul Valdes to take his place.
Savery last pitched July 13, throwing a scoreless inning in a 13-inning victory over the White Sox. He is 2-0 with a 1.38 ERA in 10 appearances.
"He was having trouble with his elbow," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
Valdes was 1-0 with a 7.65 ERA in 10 appearances earlier this season with the Phillies before being demoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He pitched as a starter with the IronPigs, going 3-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 12 starts.
Braun's lofty stats vs. Phils suspect amid suspension
ST. LOUIS -- Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun has caused nightmares for plenty of pitching staffs in his big league career, but none in the National League like the Phillies.
His 1.120 OPS in 186 plate appearances against the Phillies is his best mark against any NL team. It also is the ninth-highest mark against the Phillies by any player in history. Of course, those numbers fall under serious suspicion once he accepted a suspension through the remainder of 2013 for violations of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
"I'm for cleaning up the game," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "I want everything about it good. Baseball is something that I love and respect. It's been tremendous to me. I want it played right. I like both teams to play right. I like to see good players. Basically, I just want the game clean."

can somebody with photoshop skillz put a knicks jersey on JR
Don't they already have real pics of him in O&B?
As for our defense, we don't defend the 3-pointers like we should, it could be a problem for us against the Heat tomorrow night if they start hot early behind the arc.
Once Shumplesworth comes back we'll have great perimeter defense
OMG i was sweating bullets and then JR gave us an early Christmas Present....these are the games that if we win, we'll have home court advantage at the end of the year
Just got home from the game. Jr's buzzer beater was amazing to see in person.
Somebody get that Heat thread started ****!

Gardner makes first career start in right field
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
BOSTON -- As Brett Gardner tells the story, it was getting into the late innings of a Grapefruit League game at a place called Chain of Lakes Park in Winter Haven, Fla., once the spring home of the Indians.
Joe Torre was still at the helm of the Yankees, and the manager pointed down the dugout bench in Gardner's direction, saying, "Hey, kid. Can you play right field?"
"And I said, 'Yes sir!' and I went out there," Gardner recalls, with a smile. "It shouldn't be too bad."
Gardner made his first Major League appearance as a right fielder on Wednesday against the Red Sox, a nod to the expansive outfield in that area and the relatively small amount of real estate to patrol in front of the Green Monster in left.
Manager Joe Girardi explained that he wanted to find a way to have Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury and Alfonso Soriano all in the same outfield, with Carlos Beltran serving as the designated hitter because Soriano has played a little bit of left field at Fenway.
"I don't really think it'll be too tough for [Gardner] to adjust, because he's played center and left," Girardi said. "He's used to the angle when balls are hit that way, because he has played center, too. I don't expect it to be a tough adjustment for him. It's going to be a little different, but I'm confident he'll make it fine."
Gardner said that he worked out in right field on Tuesday at Fenway, paying attention to how balls kick around in the corner near the Pesky Pole and in front of the bullpens.
"It's something I knew was a possibility," Gardner said. "I wasn't sure what they were going to do with it. I feel like I'm prepared; just get ready and when they hit it, go get it. Pretty simple."
After 'nightmare' 2013, Jeter feeling refreshed
BOSTON -- Maybe the most encouraging thing that the Yankees can say about Derek Jeter so far this season is that he has looked like himself, which is a refreshing change from the self-described "nightmare" campaign that the captain endured last year.
Jeter entered play on Wednesday batting .298 (17-for-57) with three doubles and four RBIs, and he had reached base safely in each of his first 15 games of the season. He was riding an 11-game hitting streak, which ended with an 0-for-4 collar in the Yanks' 5-1 loss to the Red Sox.
"I feel all right. I'm getting better and better," Jeter said. "This is a game that you need to play every day. It took me a while to feel good, but I'm getting there. I've still got some more progress to make."
Jeter was limited to just 17 games last season; he was in the lineup playing shortstop and batting second on Wednesday for his 16th game of the 2014 campaign.
Jeter had reached base safely in his last 21 games dating back to Sept. 2, 2013, which was tied with the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista for the longest active streak in the Majors.
"I told you, if he was healthy, I thought he'd play well," manager Joe Girardi said. "It was just a matter of how healthy he was going to be, and for the most part, he's been healthy this year. So I think it's kind of what we expected."
Mired in slump, Solarte held out of starting lineup
BOSTON -- Yangervis Solarte is in his second offensive slump of the month, which prompted manager Joe Girardi to give the rookie infielder a day off on Wednesday against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Solarte is hitless in his last 14 at-bats, striking out three times in Tuesday's 9-3 victory and dropping his batting average to .303 (20-for-66). Solarte also had an 0-for-11 skid earlier in April.
"I don't sense that he's pressing or anything. I think he's happy with the at-bats," Girardi said. "Sometimes I've been telling Brian Roberts, he hasn't been too smart lately, lining out all the time.
"It happens. It's part of the game. Sometimes they even out. Sometimes they don't."
Solarte lined out in his last at-bat on Tuesday and has not taken his offensive drought into the field, turning in a pair of nice plays at third base in the Yanks' most recent victory.
Assistant general manager Billy Eppler recently said that Solarte's ability to come out of the first skid showed the organization something.
"I think we've had a good amount of games played. He's been tested in some situations," Eppler said. "He's kind of already gone through a little bit of a lull -- he's had that kind of moment where, to use an NCAA reference, your three-point shot gets lost for a second. He got it back. The tools and the ability to use those tools are there for this guy to be a Major League player."
Nova asks to get second opinion on right elbow
BOSTON -- Ivan Nova has requested that noted sports orthopedist Dr. James Andrews offer a second opinion on his partially torn right ulnar collateral ligament, the Yankees said on Wednesday.
Nova was examined on Tuesday by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad at New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York, where an MRI arthrogram confirmed the original diagnosis of a partial tear -- an injury that often leads to Tommy John surgery.
The recovery time for Tommy John surgery would be approximately 12-18 months, knocking Nova out of action for the rest of this year as well as the beginning of next season.
Nova sustained the injury during an April 19 start against the Rays at Tropicana Field and has been replaced by left-hander Vidal Nuno in the rotation. Nova was 2-2 with an 8.27 ERA in four starts for New York this season.
Bombers bits
• Infielder Brendan Ryan (cervical spine nerve) is continuing to work out at the Yankees' complex in Tampa, Fla. The Yankees have talked about getting Ryan 50 to 60 at-bats before activating him. Girardi estimated that Ryan has had about 20 at-bats so far, and he could be activated in a week to 10 days.
• Catcher Francisco Cervelli (right hamstring strain) is in New York and is performing some light activity, but otherwise is not close to baseball activities. Cervelli was placed on the 60-day disabled list on April 15, retroactive to April 14.
• David Ortiz's home run off Masahiro Tanaka on Tuesday traveled 482 feet, according to ESPN Stats and Info. That makes it the longest home run by a Red Sox batter in the last nine seasons.
• On this date in 2000, Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams become the first pair of teammates in Major League history to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game. The Yankees defeated the Blue Jays, 10-7, in Toronto.

SNOW HILL – Over 10 years after beating a man to death with a tent spike near the set-up for Sunfest at the Inlet parking lot in 1999, it appears convicted killer Robert Sutton, Jr., sentenced to life in prison for the crime, might be attempting another shot at redemption.
Nearly six years have passed since the last significant activity in the case, but it now appears Sutton might be making a renewed bid for post-conviction relief. In a letter addressed to the Clerk of the Circuit Court last week, the convicted killer is seeking a timetable for a possible attempt at another hearing in the case.
"Could you please write back to me and give me an exact date that I must file my post-conviction petition by to be within the deadline of the 10-year rule?," reads Sutton's letter to Clerk of Circuit Court Stephen Hales, who this week forwarded the request to the Office of the Public Defender's Collateral Review Division, which will ultimately make a determination about the timetable.
Around 6:30 a.m. on April 30, 1999, the body of Thomas Lynch was discovered in the Inlet parking lot near the large tents that had been erected for the upcoming Springfest celebration that year. Also discovered near the body that morning was a large, metal tent stake, which appeared to be covered with blood. The trail of evidence eventually led to Sutton, who killed Lynch in a botched robbery attempt after a sordid night of drinking and other illicit activity.
Sutton was eventually charged with first-degree murder in the death of Lynch and a Worcester County Circuit Court jury convicted him after a wild trial during which Sutton abruptly dismissed his public defender and proceeded as his own counsel at the close of the state's case against the advice of the court. Sutton was ultimately sentenced to life in prison, but he later challenged the conviction in the state Court of Special Appeals.
Sutton's appeal was based on questions related to the handling of his original trial, not the least of which was his contention the Circuit Court erred by allowing him to waive his right to counsel and represent himself in the proceedings. Sutton also challenged the lower court conviction because he was not allowed to call certain witnesses. He also challenged the conviction because he believed the jury was biased by the admission into evidence his prior, unrelated convictions, which he believed influenced the jury against him, among other things.
In June 2001, the Court of Special Appeals upheld the Circuit Court's conviction, ruling against the Sutton on the half a dozen or so points upon which he based his appeal Nonetheless, Sutton was successful in his petition for post conviction relief, citing the same perceived problems with his original trial he presented to the Court of Special Appeals. In April 2004, a post-conviction relief hearing was held in Worcester County Circuit Court with Sutton again representing himself in the proceeding, despite the fact it was one of the very problems with his original trial on which he based his appeal.
The 2004 post-conviction hearing was not without its own share of drama. After the court ruled against Sutton's bid for post conviction relief, his girlfriend at the time of the murder was arrested on the courthouse steps for allegedly trying to smuggle hacksaw blades to the convicted killer in jail through the mail. She was later cleared of the charges when it turned out to be a prank promulgated by the couple's mutual friend.

Scholarships for Minority Students
|Gemma Hodge, a participant in both the NIH and McNair summer research programs for undergraduate
For many important reasons, it is vital that technological fields attract and retain students from currently underrepresented minorities. Although Clarkson has made significant strides in diversifying its campus community during the past decade, the costs of a first-rate technological education remains a barrier to attracting and retaining minority students.
A $5-million scholarship endowment from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation will assist Clarkson in providing more opportunities for these students.

Hi Everyone,
I am Alejandro, I work at Bangor University, North Wales analysing shells. Last week we have received a batch of freshwater mussels from USA and we have found something quite interesting. On the top of one of the shells (Lampsilis sp.) there was a rocky aggregate made of pebbles and sand grains attached to the shell. When I removed it and looked under the microscope I saw what it seems to be a mouth opening and an anus opening. The "teeth" in the structure seems to be bioformed though I do not think they belong to the actual animal rather than being some kind of solidified mucus. Inside of the case we can see a coppery coloured head and what it seems a pair of jaws and some appendices when we looked through the anus oppening. I think it may be a larvae of Glossomatidae though I am not an expert on insects. I would be quite interested in knowing what it is and I thought it could be also interesting to show the case shape because I have not found a picture describing its structure in internet.
Best regards,
Hi Alejandro - yes it's certainly a caddisfly case and sounds like the occupant is still in there. I cannot identify further but it does appear that in this case (no pun intended) the larva appears to have been rather ambitious in its selection of stones - perhaps its bravado.

By Charles K. Trainor
The current economic climate is challenging. When budgetary demands rise, state aid is reduced, and interest rates are extremely low, school districts may be tempted to abandon their investment policies to increase earnings. Some may reach for opportunities even when they do not fully understand the transaction.
This may have been the case when five Wisconsin districts faced severe financial pressures in 2006. With retirement costs skyrocketing, they wanted a safe investment that would generate enough income to fund retirement benefits.
The districts were presented with a seemingly ideal opportunity. Adding to some cash on hand, they borrowed money from a German bank doing business in Ireland. Next, they purchased $200 million of collateral debt obligation, which is a derivative investment constructed from a portfolio of fixed-income assets.
According to news reports, the investment prospectus was three inches thick. Within that document, the securities were described as "synthetic," suggesting that reselling the security would be extremely difficult due to the investment's complex structure. It was also noted that the investment was rated "BBB" by a rating agency, indicating only a medium level of safety.
Board members asked if the investment was safe. The sales representative verbally assured them that the investment would generate the expected quarterly income.
The prospectus was examined carefully only after last year's financial turmoil erupted, and the true nature of the investment risk was revealed. In September 2008, the districts filed a lawsuit in Milwaukee County Circuit Court against the foreign bank and the local investment broker. At the time the lawsuit was filed, the investment had lost $150 million.
Valuable lessons can be learned from this ill-fated transaction.

text: I was at the baseline when the other side hit a drop shot. I took a sudden step forward, and felt a snap/pop in my calf. It wasn't a terrible pain, but was uncomfortable enough to not be able to play anymore. I knew I had pulled it. Next morning, the calf has tightened up significantly and I have a pronounced limp. It looks like I will be watching movies all weekend. There is no visible sign of any injury. No swelling. No discoloration. I assume this is a mild tear. Anyone ever do this? Is this serious? What can I expect? Will I be able to work on Monday?

Butterfly Mimicry Is Based on Elegant Genetic Switches
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Two species of passion-vine butterflies share the same wing patterns and coloring, which some scientists believe provide "some of the most striking examples of adaptation by natural selection."1 But specifically how these patterns emerged through natural selection has not been worked out in detail. So an international team of scientists sought more specifics by examining the Heliconius butterflies' genes, and what they found was unexpected.
The researchers compared the genomes of the two Heliconius species to see whether the same genes in each were responsible for the identical wing coloring and patterns. They observed that the butterflies had obviously "undergone rapid speciation and divergence."2 But the often-touted mechanism for adaptation―natural selection―predicts that variation leading to divergence should develop slowly. It would take a long time for single mutations to be selected out of an interbreeding population, and then for that mutant trait to eventually become fixed into a population.
The speed with which these butterfly wing patterns were expressed in stable populations does not seem to fit the old formula. Instead, the study's "results imply that despite the many thousands of genes in the genome there are only one or two that are useful for changing this colour pattern."2
The researchers did not detect many differences among genes that specify core body and cellular processes. Thus, according to co-author Chris Jiggins of the University of Cambridge, "It seems like evolution might be concentrated in quite small regions of the genome―or hotspots―while the rest of it does not change very much."2 In other words, the key to unlocking a storehouse of wide-ranging variation potential is simply the alteration of just one or two out of many thousands of genes.
The idea may be somewhat new to evolutionary thinking, but this concept has been a theme within creation thinking for a long time. The "hotspots" or keys that unlock certain trait varieties appear to be strategically organized for just that purpose. Also, why would "natural selection," or any other broadly applicable natural principle, only apply to one or two genes while ignoring the vast majority of the organism's DNA?
In addition to the passion-vine butterflies, rapid and regulated variation has been observed in dog fur texture,3 dog sizes,4 and other canine breed-defining features.5 Similar patterns were found in African cichlid fish,6 human skull shapes,7 columbine flower colors,8 finch beaks,9 fruit fly development,10 and snail shell sizes.11 In every case, the variation is referred to as "evolution" in the various scientific studies and media reports, but in no case does it follow evolution's supposed pattern of mutant selection.
Imagine a boulder placed on the edge of a cliff. When tipped over the edge, it breaks into pieces as it strikes obstacles, each piece fragmenting again and again. No resulting fragment will be exactly alike, but all of them share the same chemical essence even though they have lost the original boulder's potential to express the same wide variety.
In a like manner, passion-vine butterfly wings, and many other visible patterns among life forms, appear to have been set up at one point in time with the potential to diversify, multiply, and fill various environments, while still maintaining their distinct, recognizable types. This speaks to precise engineering, not undirected natural forces.

Was curious if there's any warning when brake pads need to be replaced like the squealer on car pads or how you go about checking them. I can kinda tell the front wheel pads look ok but not able to get a visual on the rear. New to this forum and tried to do a search for break pad wear but got every topic except brake pads! Bob

One avid basketball fan was caught on camera "digging for greatness" by grabbing a "ball" and slam-dunking it from its location in the "air up there"!
During the TNT's network broadcast of the basketball game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Knicks, commentators Kevin Harlan and Chris Webber continued their narrative of the game as one fan was making some shots of himself after going for some gold… in his nose!
Yes… a man was caught on camera digging in his nose and then… well you will see what he does afterward.
Needless to say that the video is becoming a viral sensation that folks are really "picking apart". (Boom)
No word yet on if the Trail Blazers or Knicks will hire the spectator as a three-point pickin' player…
Do you faint at the gross? Well take a look at the video anyways…

The Old Bailey has lost faith in George Michael, with a judge warning him that he faces jail after pleading guilty to his latest drug offense.
The troubled pop star fessed up Tuesday to charges stemming from a July 4 incident in which he was found next to his Range Rover after it had crashed into a London shop. The judge suspended his license and told him a jail sentence may be waiting for him
Appearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court, Michael admitted driving under the influence of drugs and possession of pot following the wee hours crash, where police say they found him "spaced out" and with dilated pupils.
"It is a serious matter. Your driving was extremely poor and there was an accident," Judge Robin McPhee said, adding that Michael has already had one conviction.
Three years ago, Michael was found slumped over the wheel of his car, which was blocking an intersection.
Michael, 47, whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou, spoke only to enter his pleas and confirm his identity. The former Wham! lead singer needed help from police to get through a swarm of photographers and cameramen as he arrived at the court.
After crashing into a shop, the singer climbed out of his auto and waited for cops after the 3:30 am incident, according to the Daily Mail. It was just the latest in a string of scrapes for Michael, one of the biggest stars of the 1980s. In 2007, he was arrested in London after drivers complained he was blocking the road. He pleaded guilty to driving while while under the influence of drugs and was banned from driving for two years and sentenced to community service.
At the time, he told the BBC that he smoked too much pot. Absolutely I would like to take less, no question," he said. "To that degree, it's a problem."
But he added, "I'm a happy man and I can afford my marijuana so that's not a problem."
Last year, he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence when his Land Rover hit a truck. Back in 1998, he was arrested by LA cops in a park restroom and later pleaded no contest to engaging in a lewd act.
The Grammy award winner has sold an estimated 100 million albums as a solo artist, churning out such hits as "Careless Whisper" and "Faith."

|Failed attempt
|It was July of 1995. We hiked in over Kearsarge Pass to Vidette Meadows. The mosquitos were far worse than anything I later experienced in the Alaskan interior during my honeymoon. It was a struggle to breathe! The next day we hiked to East Lake. The crossing of Bubbs Creek was quite dangerous--water to crotch level. I set out the following day by myself up the East Ridge. I took Secor's description a bit too literally and followed Ouzel Creek for way too long. The route I took was class three in many places, which was fine but it slowed me down. After the heavy winter, there was still too much snow to follow the correct route. I made it up to the last steep section before the summit ridge and had to turn around. If I hadn't turned around my partner would have started trying to find me in the dark. It was so frustrating! A bear tried to break into our tent at Kearsarge Lakes on the way out.
It was a very stressful trip which my partner didn't really want to be on.
I really want to go back to this area though!

A 14-year-old Dover student died late Friday at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock after hanging himself Wednesday morning in a school restroom.
Few details about the incident are available from Dover School District or the Marshal's office.
Authorities responded to the suicide attempt early Wednesday morning and Dover City Marshal Rodney Pfeifer praised the school Friday for their quick response and handling of the situation.
"School staff, in my opinion, did everything they could possibly do," Pfeifer said Friday. "They did it by the book. They responded promptly as soon as it happened and then made counselors available to students and staff."
Benchmark exams were canceled Wednesday for seventh- and eighth-grade students in Dover and school administrators were careful to shield the identify of the student to protect a younger sibling who also attends school in Dover.
Students continued Benchmark testing Monday morning and Superintendent Jerry Owens said counselors are still available to students and faculty in the wake of the student's death.
Owens said research suggested continuing school as normal as possible was best for the students and that calling unnecessary attention to the situation could actually have adverse affects.
"Our primary goal is still to respect the family and safe-guard our students," Owens said. "This event was tragic and everyone, our students, our faculty and the entire community is grieving. We want to allow the natural grieving process to occur and aid our students in anyway possible."
Owens asked that the public be respectful of the student's family and allow them privacy and a time to heal.
The funeral will be at 2 p.m. on Friday at the First Baptist Church in Dover and burial will follow at Oak Grove Cemetery north of Dover. Visitation is from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday at Shinn Funeral Home in Russellville.
Pfeifer said the young boy's body was transfered from Arkansas Children's Hospital to the Arkansas State Crime lab for further investigation.
"It is standard procedure in all suicide cases," Pfeifer said. "They will release their findings to us at a later date. This tragedy was felt by the entire community and I know everyone has the family in their prayers."

For all the veteran improvisational comedy star power in Christopher Guest's winningly eccentric HBO mockumentary "Family Tree," it's somehow strangely appropriate the breakout character is a monkey puppet.
The bluntly spoken, if somewhat glum, Monkey – or Monk, for short – has emerged as the most honest character on a show where a comedic pitfall-filled quest to dig into family roots masks a bittersweet search for a sense of self.
"Family Tree" caps its eight-episode run Sunday as the, by turns, oddest – and perhaps most realistic – depiction of family life on TV, Monkey and all.
"Family Tree" stars Chris O'Dowd as Tom Chadwick, a sweet, down on his luck, Irish Londoner recently dumped by his girlfriend and fired from his job as an accident investigator. He inherits what looks like a box of old junk from a grandaunt. But he sees the items – pictures, buttons and other knick-knacks – as pieces in the puzzle of his fractured life.
This being a Christopher Guest production, the clues lead to misunderstanding, disappointment – and plenty of laughs. Tom's discovery his great-grandfather was a celebrated stage performer is tempered by the revelation that fame came playing the back end of a mule in a pantomime horse act. In the season's most hilarious sequence, Tom fills the back half of his great-grandfather's costume for a Monty Python-esque race into humiliation.
Tom's mission later takes him to California, where he meets U.S. relatives, chases a false lead that he's part Native American and participates uncomfortably in a Civil War re-enactment, where a short would-be Lincoln fights a height-appropriate version of the 16th President ("This is a civil war – can you try and be civil?" Tom scolds a Confederate re-enactor).
The largely improvised show is buoyed by some of Guest's stable of regulars, dating to the "This is Spinal Tap" days. Michael McKean plays Tom's father, who is obsessed with broad-humored 1970s British sitcoms – offering funny shows-within-a-show and exhibiting a trait that spans different branches of family. The living relatives Tom discovers are as flawed as their all-too-human forbearers.
Ed Begley Jr. portrays a conspiracy theory-minded American cousin who is convinced an ancestor played a role in the assassination of Lincoln (who, incidentally, was killed while watching a play called "Our American Cousin"). Fred Willard is his un-PC lout of a neighbor. Guest shows up as an oddball southern cousin with a possible dark secret.
Guest's newest players, though, prove the standouts. O'Dowd imbues Tom with a sad-sack likableness. An energetic Tom Bennett shines as Tom's endlessly enthusiastic, if dopey, pal Pete. Nina Conti does double duty as Tom's sister Bea, and her ever-present alter ego, Monkey ("She's in denial," Monk says of Bea, " but fortunately, I have access to the truth").
Conti elevates Monk beyond cheap laughs, bringing a strangely compelling poignancy and humanity to the dour felt figure. Monkey gave us one of the funniest moments of the season – an inappropriate ventriloquism act at a Greek wedding ("It's nice to see you here despite the economic downfall") – and its most poignant (Monkey Skypes Tom to solemnly tell him Bea's been fired from her – or rather, their – bank job).
The mix of the absurd, occasionally tinged with sadness, marks vintage Guest, recalling the "Waiting for Guffman" dreamers reaching for the stars, and the "Best in Show" competitors, lusting for vicarious glory. Only Tom is seeking his vicarious glory through his lineage, instead of pets.
Monkey, of course, is no pet and is deeply embedded in the Chadwick DNA. The puppet's fate is at the center of Sunday's finale. Check out a clip below as we hope Tom doesn't find all that he's looking for, if only to give us another season of "Family Tree":

It's time for the Cowboys' offense to step up and bail out the defense
IRVING — On those afternoons and evenings when the Cowboys have won this season -- and some when they didn't -- it has been common for key players on offense to thank the defense for keeping the games close to give them a chance to win.
Now, it's time for the offense to return the favor.
We're not talking about some government bailout here, unless there is a federal program that distributes inside linebackers the quality of Sean Lee and Bruce Carter to teams in need.
No, this is about a Cowboys offense that struggled to get out of its own way over the first three months of the season needing to take the lead over these final four games.
There is evidence the offense is better equipped to assume this responsibility than at any point since it opened the season against the New York Giants. This assessment includes but goes beyond the 38 points the Cowboys put up against a Philadelphia defense that, to be kind, is suspect.
Quarterback Tony Romo has completed 69 percent of his passes for an average of 317.4 yards over the last five games. He has thrown 10 touchdown passes and only two interceptions in that span.
Receiver Dez Bryant has caught 29 passes for 475 yards and six touchdowns over the last four games.
DeMarco Murray rushed for 83 yards in his return against the Eagles, which is more than the entire Cowboys ground game scraped together in four of the six games he missed.
In terms of health, guards Mackenzy Bernadeau and Nate Livings are in better shape than they were to open the season in the Meadowlands. So is tight end Jason Witten, who is nearly four months removed from suffering a lacerated spleen.
"I was talking to my Dad and he was like, 'You know, this will be interesting. This might be the healthiest game on offense all year,'" Romo said of a conversation he had with his father, Ramiro, before Sunday's win over Philadelphia.
"I'm not sure if that's accurate, but usually when my dad tells me something, it's pretty good."
The Cowboys gained 417 yards against the Eagles and were 9-of-14 on third down for a season-high 64 percent conversion rate.
It was needed. A Philadelphia team that averaged 16.7 points entering the evening scored a season-high 33 points. Rookie Nick Foles threw for 251 yards and a touchdown while rookie Bryce Brown ran for 169 yards and two touchdowns as the Eagles racked up 423 yards.
"We were struggling, obviously," defensive coordinator Rob Ryan said. "That goes without saying. It's tough identifying exactly what we're going to be best at with the situation we're in.
"We're not making excuses. We battled back. We won. Thank God for our offense."
Injuries aren't an excuse, but they're a reality. Lee and Carter aren't the only casualties.
Defensive end Kenyon Coleman and safety Barry Church join Lee and Carter as starters who won't return this season. Slot cornerback Orlando Scandrick could return if the Cowboys beat the odds and make the playoffs. Nose tackle Jay Ratliff was inactive Sunday for the sixth time in 12 games.
"I never knew it was going to be as difficult as we made it look," Ryan said of the win over the Eagles. "It shouldn't be that difficult. We should have been better than that. That's on me.
"Hell, we'll get it fixed. We've got to fix it. We've got to play better. And we will.
"We'll figure out what we can do best with what we have."
The defense has kept the score close for most of the season as the offense worked through its issues. Now, it appears injuries have pushed this defense to the breaking point.
The offense must step up.
"Picking each other up, regardless of what the adversity is, whether its injury, you don't play well, you don't make a first down, you give up a touchdown, whatever those things are, you always want to respond," head coach Jason Garrett said.
"It's a team game. You don't play each of the units in and of themselves. It's all interdependent. You do try to rely on each other when things aren't going well. That's one of the things really good football teams do. You pick each other up throughout.
"In this case, our defense is a little bit banged up. We had some issues slowing them down a little bit, but again, we don't talk a lot about injuries. We talk about getting the job done.
"We've got to find a better way to do the job this week against Cincinnati."

Now 53, he has started working full-time at a restaurant he owns in Paragould — a barbecue business that's been in his family for years. Even though he plans to put all his focus into the business for the next six months, he is hopeful that he'll be able to return to education.
Taylor said he worked for 28 years and retired on Oct. 1 from the assistant superintendent position at the Valley View School District. That was on a Monday.
"Tuesday, I was here all day cooking," he said.
The new restaurateur said he is eager to cook. He is interested in offering new lunch specials at Couch's such as homemade stew, white beans and cornbread, chili, and barbecue bologna. He also tries to avoid wastefulness — leftover biscuits are used to make bread pudding.
"I've always been able to cook," he said. "I enjoy cooking, and I think I'm pretty good at it."
Taylor's work will help give the restaurant manager some time off, he said. Couch's employs 25 full- and part-time personnel.
While working at the Valley View and Buffalo Island Central school districts, Taylor served as eighth-grade American history teacher, 12-year basketball coach, junior and senior high school principal, dean of students, transportation director, athletic director and assistant superintendent.
Taylor said he was basketball coach at Buffalo Island Central for nine years, and the teams under his direction were state champions twice. He also coached basketball at Valley View for three years.
He said he is proud of his accomplishments at the district, implementing incentives for academic success and establishing one of the first computer labs at a district in partnership with the Valley View PTA. Taylor said that with the help of the faculty, Valley View had some of the first lesson plans online.
"We were on the cutting edge there," he said.
Valley View also got a head start among other districts in starting teacher observations, Taylor said.
"They observe other teachers so they can be better teachers," he said.
Valley View Elementary School Principal Pam Clark said she worked with Taylor for years, including a time when both were history teachers.
"Gaylon will be greatly missed at Valley View," she said. "He was always someone here you could depend on to lend a helping hand and always worked to support our faculty and staff."
One of the most rewarding objectives for Taylor was to compose "one of the best coaching staffs" around, he said.
"I wanted to be able to have opportunities for kids so they could be able to compete," Taylor said. "That's what makes me tick — to provide kids with opportunities to excel and seeing teachers do the same. You empower them, they get ownership. They get ownership and they're set for success."
Taylor has an advantage stepping into the restaurant business: His parents opened Couch's 27 years ago. Taylor's late brother took it over from them and built the existing building on the south side of Paragould on U.S. 49. Taylor purchased the business from his brother, he said.
The 10,000-square-foot facility seats 285 customers and Taylor sees many of them. He tries to begin work at 8 a.m. and closes the kitchen on most days, he said.
Yet Taylor is quick to say, "I retired so I can get back in (education)." He plans to keep up with education trends and news, including the Common Core curriculum. He plans to look for a job as a superintendent in May, less than a year into his retirement.
"A lot of people said, 'Why leave in October?' I had to get to the point to where I could retire," he said. "I feel like there's a void. I still want to be a superintendent. The bigger the challenge, the more I'm up for something like that."
Taylor and his wife, Sandra, have two daughters: Emilee, a senior at Valley View High School, and Sarabeth Vasgaard, a certified public accountant in Fayetteville.

There's a new No. 1 team in the Pac-12, according to the updated team rankings released on Wednesday.
Arizona State made the biggest jump of any team in the rankings, leaping from No. 22 to No. 17 overall, and in the process, bypassing Arizona, which moved from No. 18 to No. 19.
Six Pac-12 teams are now in the rankings, with the addition of USC at No. 39. Stanford fell back one spot to No. 26, due to Penn State's rise, while Oregon remains at No. 29, and UCLA rounds out the rankings at No. 40.
Trending up: Red and gold in the Pac-12 South.
Sure, it's not really red for either program, but whether it's the maroon of Arizona State or the cardinal of USC, those two programs shined on the recruiting trail this past week. Few teams anywhere are as hot as Arizona State, which added six commitments --including two four-stars -- in past week. The haul featured three defensive linemen, two running backs and an offensive tackle. But if any Pac-12 program can challenge the Sun Devils over that same period, it's USC, which added three four-star commitments and a three-star cornerback since last Wednesday. The Trojans are the newest Pac-12 program to appear in the updated class rankings, as USC checks in at No. 39.
Even though those two programs have been hot over the past week, it seems slightly unfair to leave this category without mentioning the fact that a case could be made for virtually every Pac-12 program. Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, Washington and Washington State all received verbal commitments from important recruits over the past week, in what was an incredibly successful seven days for Pac-12 coaches on the recruiting trail and hosting official visitors.

(CBS News) A new television ad released Sunday by Mitt Romney's campaign challenges President Obama's leadership, saying that he is unable to lead even his own party.
At a meeting with then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during stimulus negotiations, Pelosi "hit the mute button" and "went on with the meeting, ignoring the president. Not even listen to what he had to say," the narrator in the ad says.
The ad points to a passage in a newly-released book by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward on the inner-workings of Washington over the past few years.
"If he cannot lead his own party, how can he lead America?" the narrator asks.
Pelosi released a statement in response to the ad, calling it "an act of desperation."

Yes. All of our over-the-range (OTR) microwaves are certified by Underwriters Laboratories for use over a gas range.
Unlike other metal objects, the metal rack included with your microwave is specially designed for safe use. The design takes into account the pattern of microwaves to prevent arching and sparks. For example:
• The plastic spacers which hold the rack in place are engineered to keep it from arching against the microwave's sides.
• The rack's tines and outer edges are engineered to form a fully enclosed object, avoiding the open ends that lead to arching.
No other metal objects, including pans, utensils, etc. are approved for use inside a microwave.

If your microwave model has a glass tray or turn table, then follow the instructions printed on the popcorn label and place the bag on the turn table. In some instances, if you have a metal turn table (instead of glass), you do need to set the popcorn bag on a popcorn/bacon plate. This plate will lift the popcorn bag off of the microwave's metal turntable, which can otherwise interfere with the metal contained in the popcorn bag.
