Today at DragoArt.com we will learn a simple way to draw the dragon's talons and how to draw the incredible and complicating dragon hands/claws. Everyone knows how to draw a claw right? In these step by step instructions on this tutorial I will show you how. There are varieties of dragon hands…for now I'll call them dragon paws. I mix them with a lizard's, feline's, birds, monkeys, and human's paws/hands and feet. You can mix them up in a whole different of sorts. I usually mix mine up with lizards, birds and cats all together. A lizard's paw is long, bony, and has sharp talons. The same thing goes for a bird except they have large and lumpy scales on their fingers and toes. A cat on the other hand has a paw that has paw-pads underneath and their fingers/toes are stuck together. They also have retractable and hidden talons/claws. I personally love to mix the cat and lizard combination. It makes the creature and dragon have more character. When you draw a dragon paw/foot try focusing on the angle or direction of the foot/paw. I always make a bent directional position of the paws. It takes me a while to proportion the right angles and size of the feet to be able to hold the dragon's body up. I first sketched out this image on my Wacom tablet using the program Adobe Photoshop CS. It took me a while to draw so I made it as simple as possible. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (WIBW) -- A Junction City man has been arrested for alleged sex crimes involving children.
Jordan Young, 25, was taken into custody at the Junction City Police Department at 11:30 AM on Monday, August 13, 2012.
According to Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown, Young was arrested for Aggravated Indecent Liberties With a Child, Attempted Criminal Sodomy and Solicitation of a Child.
Chief Brown would not comment further on Young's arrest.
Last week, Brown confirmed to WIBW that his department is investigating information they received about a local church. He says Young arrest stems from this investigation that is still underway.
Brown issued the following statement to 13 News: "We have received information concerning a church in Junction City that we are looking into."
That is the only information Brown is releasing at this time, calling the case "sensitive" because of the allegations involving children. He is not yet revealing the specific name of the church.
Sources say the church in question is Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church on Burke Drive in Junction City where Jordan Young is reportedly the minister in charge of the church's music. Those close to the church say he also worked in the youth ministry.
Jordan Young is the son of former Faith Tabernacle pastor Edwin Young, who reportedly recently resigned very abruptly.
The church's new pastor, Nathan Dudley, said he could not comment on any allegations or the police investigation, telling WIBW that he does not want to do anything to impede on the JCPD probe but that the church is fully cooperating with authorities. Dudley says he has only been the pastor for several days.
Jordan Young made his first court appearance Tuesday at the Geary County Courthouse. His bond was set at $250,000. Geary County Attorney Steve Opat says Young has been ordered to surrender his passports and is not allowed to have contact with anyone under the age of 21. He was assigned an attorney with the Public Defender's Office. A status hearing has been set for August 21, 2012 at 9 AM.
When asked about the case, Opat reiterated what the police chief said, telling WIBW that the investigation is ongoing.

Cult of Personality
But is this song really speaking in a language we can all understand or is there more to the message?
Take a look at the lyrics:
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of Personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Neon lights, A Nobel Price
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Neon lights a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the Cult of Personality
Hmmmm…..doesn't it appear to you that there is much more going on here than a reference to the Black community?
You have the quotations from John F. Kennedy at the beginning…..Ask not what your country can do for you…..and ends with a quotation from Franklin D Roosevelt….The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. There are also references to Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, and Mohandas Gandhi. Notice the pairings….Gandhi with Stalin and Mussolini with Kennedy…..leaders that are traditionally good paired with leaders that are traditionally bad.
Another reason to go hmmmm…….
Perhaps the next step is to take a look at the group that performs the song. Living Color is a band that formed in 1983 and, is often lumped into the Hard Rock music category. Their music can also be termed as American Funk . Their songs often attack Eurocentrism and racism in American which is understandable since every member is black.
Watch them here perform the song:
But I'm still troubled by the references to various world leaders.
What do the actions of world leaders have to do with Black History?
Clue in on this particular section of the lyrics.
Only you can set me free
I see the things you need me to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me.
Cult of Personality…I exploit you still you love me. Slavery, of course, was exploitation in the worst possible way. While there were some very extraordinary relationships between slaves and their owners, I'm not sure the song's lyrics are taking us in that direction.
Instead, I turn to the terrible things Stalin and Mussolini did….terrible things… yet they were able to obtain and maintain solid power. Their followers were a cult of sorts.
When we examine the media machine that propelled Kennedy and Roosevelt into the White House we see a process of publicity that was so successful both former presidents maintain larger than life personas despite various flaws in their personal and political lives.
Cults of personality actually exist.
A cult of personality occurs when a leader uses mass media to create an idealized or heroic public image using flattery and praise without a balanced viewpoint.
Cults of personality are often associated with dictatorships such as Stalin's. The hero worship surrounding him resulted in grandiose titles such as "Brilliant Genius of Humanity", "Coryphaeus (the leader of the chorus in an ancient Greek dram) of Science", and "Gardner of Human Happiness". The title of murderer would be more appropriate. Like other dictators who found themselves the proud recipient of a cult of personality Stalin was fond of having cities and towns named after him and was notorious for rewriting the history books to follow his version of events., and hang the truth.
Cults of Personality are also associated with regimes or administrations that want to radically change society utilizing revolutionary ideas. That can certainly be said to a point regarding Kennedy and Roosevelt….even Gandhi, of course.
But what does the band have to say about their song? In a recent Billboard interview lead singer Corey Glover spoke about the song with a reference to the Age of Obama. He said, "We were talking about the cult of personality around Ronald Reagan, so it's always weird when people talk about the Age of Obama and 'Cult of Personality' around Barack Obama. You could look at it in so many different perspectives that it loses it's meaning after awhile. And for us, when we play it, we're not thinking about the Age of Obama. We're thinking about us."
Makes sense to me…..rock bands do have cult followings.
Ronald Reagan? Obama? Most certainly.
For that matter a cult of personality can be identified surrounding our very first president, George Washington.
Yes, George Washington.
The cult of personality surrounding our first president began soon after his death as he became the subject of mythmaking via the stories Parson Weems.spun. Remember that cherry tree yarn? Washington loaned his name to various monuments and buildings. One of the best examples of the deification of Washington is seen by thousands every year as they gaze up into the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. The picture I began this post with is the central section of the Apotheosis of Washington by Constantine Brumidi (1865). The section portrays Washington rising to the heavens in glory. The word apotheosis refers to the rising of a person to the rank of a god – the glorification of a person.
So, could I use the song Cult of Personality for a Black History activity. Perhaps…..but, I think I could get much more mileage out of it to head off down the path regarding the song's title, it's meaning, the various ways a cult of personality exists, and how we can avoid them.
I think the discussion would benefit any classroom across the country.
Just take a look at any gossip or political website.....we'll admire and fawn over anything.

Nice and thoughtful post. I like that you include the interview of the band to help explain their thoughts. It's always good to use music/video in a class and this certainly does allow for many talking points. It's a song I hadn't thought of in a while.
Thought the song is older, it nicely relates to today's media which could help teachers connect the past to today.

One of your best blogs IMHO.
One lesson that folks must learn is how dangerous a "cult of personality" can be.
Sadly, our own religion, Christianity, is not immune. Look at Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, for example.
I even know a former associate pastor at my church who had his own "cult of personality" that almost destroyed our church family. Not long after he started his own congregation with about 100 folks from our church, he was charged with (and later plead "guilty" to) child molestation. Even so, I still know people who swear he still didn't do it.
We can all become enthralled with people for various and sundry reasons, but we must realize ultimately that we are all human and thus imperfect. Only one perfect man ever walked the earth... and you know what happened to him at the hands of imperfect people.
- EHT said...
Thanks for the great comments, guys. I appreciate it.
Actually, I thought this piece was all over the place and tried to clean it up, but eventually just posted it as is....
....seems that was the right thing to do reader comments always add so much more to a post than I ever could.
- Micah Williams said...
This is great....I am taking this one home to my husband.
Now that I live in the extreme Deep South (and I do not say that lightly because I was born in Alabama and raised in Georgia)I see this on a day to day basis. In this area they are led around like the blind, by everything that read and hear in the news..... The examples are many but it both shocks and frightens me how they have no apparent opinions about any thing in general. It seems as though I am talking with a robot who can only spout what "the man" tells him to. Politics and religion, topics that I no longer bring up to my local friends...
It's a backwards world I live in...
- Duez said...
Very interesting. While in college, I saw these guys perform @ State College in PA. It was pretty wild. A mosh pit of madness. But, I loved their music, still do.
Catchy song and very deep meaning. As a history major at the time, I was loving this song.
Nice breakdown.
- Custom Term Paper said...
I loved this song it's sooo nice. Thanks for sharing.
Think for yourself. Although the message may have originally been more partisan in the 1980's, the lyric is masterfully written to encompass a more "holistic" view of the ramifications of failing to listen to your inner wisdom, regardless of outside opinions...

Libraries faculty present at SIDLIT
Four faculty members from K-State Libraries gave presentations at the Summer Institute on Distance Learning and Instructional Technology, or SIDLIT, Aug. 1-2 in Overland Park.
Joelle Pitts, instructional design librarian, presented "Flipping the research classroom." Her presentation focused on how librarians and instructors can work together to radically flip the research classroom, providing a more effective, differentiated and personalized research instruction experience than traditional one-shot lectures.
Pitts; Dan Ireton, undergraduate and community services librarian; and Ben Ward, Information Technology Assistance Center instructional technologist; presented "Transmedia storytelling: How we built a massive campuswide game," which described their experiences prototyping, designing and gaining campus stakeholders to build a massive campuswide Alternate Reality Game in conjunction with our campus common read, "Ready Player One."
Marc Nash and Holger Lenz, instructional design residents, presented "Now they've built it... who will come? - An examination of interactive online learning platforms." Their presentation evaluated various massive open online course platforms by price, learning curve and overall design, to determine, which platform best suit the needs of institutions operating under tight budgets and with limited staff.


text: Tuesday, March 25, 2014 USPSTF: More Research Needed on Routine Cognitive Impairment Screenings Though US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) acknowledges that there may be "important reasons" to screen for cognitive impairment for adults over 65 with no recognized signs or symptoms of impairment, 10 years after its last investigation of the issue the group continues to say that more research is needed before it can reach a recommendation about the benefits and risks of the assessments. The recent USPSTF report does not recommend against the screenings and even asserts that some screening tools are better supported by performance data than they were during the group's 2003 review of the issue. However, the overarching message from the report is clear: "the overall evidence is insufficient" for the USPSTF to advise for or against. Within that general position, the task force did arrive at a few related conclusions. Among them: Some drug therapies "have a small effect" on short-term outcome measures for patients with mild to moderate dementia. Caregiver interventions have a "small effect" on caregiver burden and depression. Exercise interventions "are not associated with serious adverse effects." Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEls) can produce adverse effects, some serious. APTA responded to the USPSTF report during a comment period in late November 2013. In a letter based on expert member input, the association noted that a physical therapist's (PT's) screening for cognitive function can "significantly affect how [PT] interventions are communicated and delivered to the patient." While the comment letter did acknowledge that there was insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for the public, APTA input pointed out that a patient's cognitive status "can have profound implications" on treatment approaches and outcomes in settings that involve PTs. Additionally, APTA suggested changes to the report, many of which were incorporated into the final document. One such change: including exercise among the nonpharmacological interventions for adults with cognitive impairment.

Commercial, Personal/Corporate
By Barry D. Desfor | October 1, 2004

It doesn't take a moment or two for anyone in the helicopter industry to know that our business is, and has been for many decades, one of the true "multi-national" businesses. We all know that most countries around the world follow the same standards for the design and construction standards of our helicopters and their parts. The helicopter industry knows most countries have very similar flight-operations standards.
Additionally, we try to convince each other that the manufacturers' service-life limits (for the mandatory time-retirement and/or the overhauls) are "cast in stone" and must be universally applied no matter what the job is, who the owner or operator is, or what the geographic location of the helicopter.
So, if all of this vital information is such common knowledge among us helicopter types, why doesn't my banker know all of this too? If you remember back to the previous article on financing a helicopter, ("Show Me the Money", August 2004, page 38) we talked about how borrowers were in the lenders' area(s) of expertise when it comes time to apply for a loan. That point is still worth remembering: a "banker" (either your lender giving you "cash" or your lessor giving you a lease contract) only wants to be an expert in one business--their own specialty of money-lending.
In this era of specialization and corporate governance, outside "experts" are not only preferred, they are mandatory in many cases. That's right: no matter how well you tell your banker about the virtues of your helicopter and/or your helicopter's current or long-term value, your banker may be required by law to disregard your words of wisdom.
Helicopter borrowers tend to forget (or not calculate) the cost of doing business. One of the biggest mistakes made by those looking for money to make a helicopter purchase and/or re-financing one or more of their fleet is not knowing or understanding the cost of "creating" the loan. Oddly enough, a lender's "cost" is virtually the same for a $60,000 loan for your used Enstrom, or Schweizer, or Hiller (assuming you can get one for that price) as for the $6 million plus loan for a new Sikorsky S-76! Remember folks, the banks and leasing companies are in business for the same reasons you are (hopefully): TO MAKE MONEY! In the process of making money, bankers usually know their costs down to the last dollar, euro or Swiss franc.
The fees you may be charged, whether they are paid "up front" even before you have your money or your lease contract in hand, can sometimes be reduced by going through a "loan broker". How can someone who will obviously be paid a fee for bringing your business to a lender, help make the over all cost of the transaction become LOWER?
Simple--by acting as a "clearing house" and "consolidator" for the bank the broker places your application with, the loan broker adds your business to many others. And he, or she, is supposed to do much of the pre-qualification investigation of you that would have to be done by the bank. By bringing in a volume of "streamlined" applicants to a lender, the broker may reduce the "in-house" costs to the bank, thereby qualifying for a discount that may be passed on to you.
In North America, with the emphasis being on the United States in particular, the watch-word of the day has become: "Corporate Governance." In the wake of multiple levels of gross financial misdeeds, many countries around the world have enacted new financial regulations. These rules (in essence) state:
Lenders must perform their "due diligence" to new, higher standards;
Lenders must insure that the due diligence is conducted by an independent, outside, unbiased source, whose credentials establish him/her/them as an expert whose ONLY business is performing this work.
In many cases, this outside expert opinion must be part of the basis which determines not only how low the monthly loan/lease payments can be, but also what the "buy-out" figure may be at various points in the contract.
Because of the "worldwide" aspect of the helicopter industry, most banks and leasing companies around the globe now follow most of the "due diligence" principles which have become law in U.S.-based transactions. So, whether your loan application is taken in Sweden, in Siberia, or especially if you're applying from beautiful downtown Seneca, NY., your bank will probably need to talk to some "Helicopter Guru," such as at HeliValue$.
If you are dealing with a local banker who doesn't know the difference between an altimeter and his adding machine, the guru's job is one massive education course crammed in a series of phone calls. Giving your banker the "how and why" of your helicopter's worth now and for the years to come is part of the ordinary course of HeliValue$'s business.
The bad news is that you, the borrower, will pay for this service. The good news is that, in many cases, your loan application cannot be processed without at least some services provided by an unbiased outside expert service, so while added costs are understandably annoying, you have to decide if you want the loan or not. While the evaluation and future value "guru" can't vouch for you and your business, the "guru's" professionally prepared information for your banker can often be the difference between a "No" or a "Yes" on your application.
Here's the problem for every would-be helicopter owner/operator around the world, regardless of how big or small their fleet is: You may have explained everything there is to know about your helicopter to your banker or leasing company. You may even be 100 percent correct on every point you've made. But, truth be told, it is likely that none of your opinions may be usable by the banker/loan officer.
The "expert" may have to come in and give the material in a format and presentation which the lender can take to their management and/or board of directors, their credit committee, their asset management group, and/or their legal and accounting staff. Many times, this "expert information" may in fact be very similar to what you have told your bank previously.
One of the essential documents needed by the bank or leasing company is your aircraft's Residual Value Projection (RVP) found in publications such as "The Official Helicopter Blue Book" (and provided free to "Helicopter Blue Book" subscribers or their lender). This is a projection of where, during the term of your loan or lease, your "guru" believes the value of your unit will go. The RVP is usually given as two value progressions. Bear in mind, however, that the RVP may not be what YOU THINK your helicopter is worth to you as a "working ship". Why is this so?
There is no doubt that you can prove what the helicopter can earn once it is in service, but helicopter owners and operators have to remember that the banker most likely does not want to take your place as a helicopter operator! The bank just wants to know: "If something goes wrong and the borrower cannot or will not make the payments, for how much can I, the lender, reasonably and accurately expect to sell the equipment?"
As impractical as it might be, and as insulting as it may be to you, the bank always wants to know the value of your helicopter in the "0-year", which is that "Day/Week/ Month" period of time at the beginning of your contract. We've always wondered: "Why do a deal on anything if they genuinely thought it was going to be turned back to them almost immediately?" There has never been a satisfactory answer, so we continue to give the numbers.
There are up to 20 to 30 factors which are computed by HeliValue$ when preparing an RVP for your bank or leasing company. Not all of the factors carry equal weight. For example, the past resale history of the prior models may not count for much with the current model being analyzed. An excellent illustration is how AgustaWestland Inc. has seriously changed its marketing tactics, thereby preventing the free-fall resale pricing of its latest A109E Power helicopter.
This is good for the manufacturer and the Power's future values, bad for new and used buyers of those helicopters in that there may be few "fire sale" low-priced bargains as there had been with the old A109A-models. Also remember: While the RVP's future values for the helicopter are realistic resale values projected into the future, your banker will probably "give the numbers a haircut". This "haircut" is the margin of value safety, usually a reduction, so they feel absolutely safe and confident that even they can unload your helicopter. Don't get insulted if your lender's values are unrealistically low. There are ways to improve the numbers.
To reduce the "haircut" amount and raise the future values, thereby lowering the monthly payments, some lenders may require the borrower/operator to enroll the machine in a power-by-the-hour program. The best-liked power-by-the-hour programs are those offered by the Original Equipment Manufacturers. The bankers and leasing companies generally like these programs because the actual zero-time since overhaul part is normally available, or there is cash in the escrow account available for each of the power-by-the-hour enrolled parts.
Another factor which appeals to lenders is the fact that, in most cases, a helicopter that has been enrolled in a PBH program (especially if it is the OEM's program) usually has a better chance of reselling more rapidly when compared to a similar unit which was not on PBH.
Since lenders are scared to death about "idle inventory" time, what else can you do to assure your lender that your helicopter will be in "showroom" condition if and when it comes time to sell it?
In the long run, it will be the use of common sense and good business practices that will determine when and how the bank or leasing company will be positively impressed with you. They will want to know a lot about you, your business and how you will take care of the helicopter. The impressions you make on them will probably count more than what a broker or "expert" can do for you.

Cleaned it, put all new stuff in (left a little old water), and a new filter (Fluval 406) etc. I went to the fish store and told them all of this and they recommended I start with 3 goldfish for the 75 gallon tank because it had to cycle. They told me a little about this cycling process but now I am second guessing putting any fish in like they said.
I check the levels when I get to work and when I leave. After the first day the water looked cloudy. The PH appears to be around 7.0-7.2. The ammonia is right around .25 maybe a little under and it is the third day. The sold me ammolock but I have read not to use it.
Nitrate/Nitrite are at 0.
I now understand that I should have waited for the fish tank to cycle before adding fish but it is too late.
So here is my question. Should I act now with an ammonia level just under .25? When should I use ammolock? If I do water changes how should I prepare the water (besides temp and water conditioner).
I will not feed them but every three to four days. Thank you for the help in advance.

Hi all,
what are the best strategies to find cutting edge papers and books on a field of mathematics?
2-3 years ago I had to analyze a time series. I found a paper and showed that to a mathematician who referred me to the REAL state-of-the art method how to do it.
Then I read the book 'Analysis and Probability: Wavelets, Signals, Fractals' by Palle E. T. Jorgensen, which is excellent and a good reference.
How can I find for example the latest advances in (applied) mathematical Logic (modal logic, high order logic, type theory, proof theory)?
How can I find the state of the art advances in time series analysis since mid 2007?
My current strategies are using google search and google scholar to find papers. Or to try to find a good mathematician in a field an ask in person for papers.
Thanks for any Tipps!

Oneida boys volleyball wins Class B title over Living Word Academy
CANASTOTA - First Oneida showed it had no rust, then it showed great resiliance.
The result was the 2013 Section III Class B boys volleyball title.
Coach Rik Ano's top-seeded team routed Living Word Academy 25-13 in the opening game then dropped 25-17 and 25-18 games before rallying to win the last two 25-18, 25-22 to deny the No. 3 seed the title in front of more than 450 very spirited fans.
"That was a great one," LWA coach Joe Reitz said just minutes after Derek Connelly's hit through a block gave Oneida the victory. "I still can't tell if we won or lost."
Oneida (15-3) reached the finals without playing a match as the field featured just three teams this winter. But all three - Vernon-Verona-Sherrill was the other - were evenly matched throughout the regular season. LWA had a semifinal win that went five games Tuesday and it served as a tune-up of sorts. But Oneida went on a 4-0 run early in the first game that featured a Kyle George serve LWA couldn't handle and it gave Ano's team a 5-1 edge. David Kann took over from there with brilliant kills, blocks and an ace to push Oneida's edge to 10-4.
Every time the Lions of Judah (5-7) tried to rally Jessie Morrison, Zach Brown, George, Kann or Tyler Colvin made a play to keep momentum with Oneida. Up 18-11, Oneida used a superb kill by Kann to start a 6-0 run that effectively ended the game's drama.
The second game was even at the start then LWA went on a 9-1 run for a 15-7 edge. Oneida hurt itself on most of the points and Robert Decker added a kill in the middle to help LWA keep pressure on. Jonah Geramia and Sean Meyer had kills to help LWA trade points down the stretch to end the game and even the match.
The third game also started out very even then LWA erased an 11-9 Oneida lead with a 7-0 run. Kann missed a serve and that started the run and Forrest Thompson followed with a kill for LWA. Meyer had an ace later and the closest Oneida came the rest of the game was three points.
Morrison dominated at the net to begin the fourth game and Oneida seized a 9-2 edge as a result. George had an ace in the middle to help, too, and things never got out of hand down the stretch. Morrison hit through a block to get the 25th point and everyone expected a thriller would break the 2-2 tie.
The teams delivered. Decker's play helped LWA go ahead 3-1 then Oneida took control with a 10-3 run. Morrison and Kann had most of the kills off great sets by Colvin and Dylan Dibble added a kill for Oneida off a quick set. Oneida's lead was as big as six points and whittled down to as little as two twice. That's when Kann took over the match with three straight kills. They gave the top seed a 22-17 lead and an error by LWA pushed it to 23-17.
Meyer had a kill to start the Lions of Judah on a run and Oneida made some mistakes to help it. Ano called timeout at 23-20 but LWA got one more point before Colvin had a superb dig to keep Oneida in the next point and a carry by LWA led to the first match point.
A bad set led to a tip that went wide on the next point and suddenly Oneida was ahead just 24-22. Connelly ended LWA's dream of a comeback by hitting through a block for the kill that ended the match and clinched a trip for Oneida to Saturday's state regional championship against Ichabod Crane at Cobleskill-Richmondville High School.
"It was awesome," Ano said after the first title of his young career. "They came out on fire, and they showed character.
"When we clean up the mistakes, we're tough to beat."
Oneida's match against Section II champion Ichabod Crane is at 3:00 p.m. Saturday. Section II's Coxsackie-Athens plays Section III's champ, Mount Markham, at 1:00 p.m. MM (18-0) edged Sauquoit Valley 3-2 with the last game being 32-30.
LWA (5-7): Jonah Geramia 6k; Robert Decker 8k, 2b; Dan Mead 21as, 1b; Sean Meyer 11k, 7b, 3ac; Jesse Mazur 1b, 7as; Forrest Thompson 9k, 8b.
Oneida (15-3): Tyler Colvin 3k, 1b, 1ac, 51as, 3d; Kyle George 4ac, 3d; Dylan Dibble 2k, 2b, 1ac, 5d; Derek Connelly 8k, 12d; Jessie Morrison 20k, 1b, 2ac, 3d; Zach Brown 2k, 1b, 2d; David Kann 21k, 1b, 4ac, 12d; Dan Keck 10d.

Bears rally to top Carolina
Chicago overcomes 12-point deficit in final quarter
CHICAGO — Robbie Gould made a 41-yard field goal as time expired to cap Chicago's rally from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit and beat visiting Carolina for its fifth straight victory.
Carolina (1-6) led 19-7 after three quarters despite its lone touchdown coming when Louis Murphy recovered Cam Newton's fumble in the end zone. The Bears (6-1) rallied quickly, as Jay Cutler hit Kellen Davis in the back of the end zone for a 12-yard score, and Tim Jennings took advantage of receiver Steve Smith's slip on the next play from scrimmage to pick off Newton's pass and race 25 yards untouched for a 20-19 Bears lead.
Justin Medlock's career-long 45-yard field goal – his fifth of the day – deflected off the right upright and through to give Carolina a 22-20 lead with 2:32 left, but Cutler led the Bears down the field quickly to set up Gould's winning kick.
Cutler was sacked six times in the first half and the Bears committed three turnovers before the break but Chicago did not have a giveaway or allow a sack in the second half. Cutler finished 19-of-28 for 186 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
Medlock was 3-for-4 in his career and 2-for-2 this season with a career-long of 32 yards but he was excellent in windy conditions, connecting from 22, 31, 34, 43 and 45 yards.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Newton was 20-of-39 for 314 yards but threw two interceptions and no touchdowns. He has five career 300-yard games. … Jennings' interception return touchdown was the Bears' sixth of the season, a franchise record. … Panthers DE Greg Hardy recorded a career-high three sacks and DE Charles Johnson notched his second multi-sack game of the season.

As Southern Weekly Debate Continues, Foreigners Blamed

As a heated debate outside the gates of the embattled Southern Weekly newspaper in Guangzhou between press-freedom activists and government supporters continued on Tuesday, state-run Chinese media suggested that hostile "foreign forces" were responsible for the growing controversy.
"Support the Communist Party, support Mao Zedong thought, support striking against the traitor media," chanted a group of local government supporters, waving Chinese flags, as they approached the dozen or so Southern Weekly supporters who assembled Tuesday morning outside the newspaper's headquarters.
Tuesday's early gathering appeared to be smaller than demonstrations on Monday, when several hundred turned out to voice support for Southern Weekly, one of China's most respected newspapers, which is locked in a protracted battled with officials over allegations of unjustified censorship.
Supporters of the paper tore down a Chinese flag held up by pro-government demonstrators. One free speech advocate wore a Guy Fawkes mask, while others carried signs that called for protecting Southern Weekly. They waved 5 mao notes (equivalent to 50 cents in Chinese currency) at the government supporters, an allegation that they were paid to protest by local authorities. A shoving match between the sides quickly ensued.
The standoff in Guangzhou followed allegations by the popular and typically nationalistic Global Times tabloid on Monday that some of those most aggressively proliferating information and commentary about the Southern Weekly incident were being actively supported by overseas activists, particularly those with ties to blind legal activist Chen Guangcheng.
The Global Times editorial, which is being widely derided on Chinese social-networking sites, does not explain the connection between Southern Weekly and Mr. Chen, who departed China last year to study at New York University after escaping home imprisonment and seeking refuge at the U.S. embassy in Beijing.
Blaming unrest on foreigners has long been a favorite tactic for embattled government officials. In recent years, party officials have blamed "foreign forces" opposed to the Chinese regime for everything from ethnic unrest in restive western regions of Xinjiang and Tibet to discontent among unemployed Chinese workers. Chinese President Hu Jintao warned in an essay last year that foreign forces were stepping up efforts to westernize China.
Anti-foreigner rhetoric around the case of Southern Weekly recalls similar accusations during landmark land protests by residents in the Guangdong village of Wukan in December 2011. Aggressive coverage by foreign media spurred one local leader to say then the villagers had placed their hopes in "rotten foreign media, rotten foreign newspapers and rotten foreign websites."
The controversy over Southern Weekly is shaping up to be a major test of media freedoms under the new leadership of Communist Party general-secretary Xi Jinping. It centers on allegations that a planned editorial by the newspaper calling for greater respect for legal rights was secretly overhauled at the last minute to read as a puff piece laden with party speak.
The newspaper's supporters are calling for the resignation of provincial propaganda chief, Tuo Zhen. Local propaganda and party officials have declined to comment.

The inquest into the death of singer Amy Winehouse will be reheard, according to a spokesman for Camden Council.
The Back to Black star was found dead at her north London home last year, aged 27.
The move comes after an investigation found Suzanne Greenaway, who oversaw the inquest into Winehouse's death, did not have the correct qualifications for the role.
The new hearing will be at St Pancras Coroner's Court on Tuesday January 8.
Ms Greenaway recorded a verdict of misadventure at the original hearing last year.
She was appointed to the role in July 2009 by her husband, Andrew Reid, who was the coroner for Inner North London, after she had worked as a solicitor and barrister in Australia.
But she stepped down in November when it emerged she did not have the requisite five years' experience in the Law Society.
Dr Reid resigned from his position this month after the Office for Judicial Complaints (OJC) launched disciplinary proceedings against him.
Investigators found he had not "thoroughly" checked his wife had the requisite qualifications for the position.
The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice had indicated their intention to remove Dr Reid from judicial office following the investigation.
But despite being entitled to challenge their decision, the senior coroner decided to stand down.
During her time as deputy assistant coroner, Ms Greenaway conducted 12 inquests in Camden, but worked largely from Poplar Coroner's Court in east London.
According to British law, Ms Greenaway, who also worked as a nurse in Australia, would have needed either five years with the Law Society or five years of experience as a qualified medical practitioner.
She met neither set criteria.
A spokesman for the Winehouse family said: ``The family were happy with the way the original inquest was conducted and did not request it to be reheard.
"This seems to be a matter of procedure and the verdict is not expected to change."

Most Memorable Moment as a First-Year Student? The school's mayday celebration. There was a moon bounce and a cookout on the Hodson green, and it was a beautiful day. It was so nice to see everybody together celebrating one of the school's strongest traditions. it really demonstrated how unified the student body is.
If I was an Animal? I would be a tiger.
One Item You Shouldn't Forget To Pack? Shower flip flops!

Time Crisis 2nd Strike is Namco's latest iPhone adaptation of its popular light gun series – and things are still a little screwy. As an ace super agent hot on the trail of a gang of terrorists, you must tap-tap-tap your way out of dangerous situations against waves of gunmen. But there is a little more to the shooting gallery than tapping the bad guys to death. Using on-screen pedals, you must also duck out of the way to avoid incoming fire and reload your weapons. This adds a slight element of strategy to Time Crisis 2nd Strike. But it doesn't fill the void caused by some weirdly frustrating action.
Each mission is broken down into a series of vignettes, each only 15 or so seconds long. You need to get through each section before time runs out. To finish a vignette, kill everybody in the immediate area. This adds time to the clock, giving you a better chance of making it through all of the areas within that mission. You can burn all of your time if you miss an enemy and have to wait for him to pop back out into the open (terrorists are smart enough to duck away from time to time), so there is an element of pattern memorization here.
Shooting is as simple as tapping an enemy. Some can be taken down with a single shot, but others require you to really cop a feel. Two problems pop up here. One, as you reach across the screen to tap a bad guy, you can inadvertently cover up another enemy who will either shoot you or go back into hiding, leaving you desperately scanning the screen as your clock runs down. The second issue is precision. Some of the bad guys lurk in the distance and can appear very small. This makes them easy to miss. Sure, it's supposed to be harder to hit distant targets – that's kinda the point – but your index finger is not necessarily a precision tool.
I do appreciate that Namco added extra weapons to Time Crisis 2nd Strike like a machinegun, shotgun, and grenade launcher. Using the shotgun, for example, means you don't have to be as precise – but this does not exactly rectify the distance issue because a shotgun is more of a close-quarters weapon. I also really like the pedal system for ducking away from the action to reload. During this time, you lose about 50-percent of your viewing angle and can miss the location of bad guys. That's completely understandable because, well, you're ducking. It's when you miss an enemy because of your hand that Time Crisis 2nd Strike frustrates.
Time Crisis 2nd Strike also includes a competitive mode when you blaze through the main game, allowing you to go for the best scores or times. That's a good extra, too, but because I'm not crazy about the action in the first place, this is not something I foresee spending a lot of time with beyond the review period.
Closing Comments
To be sure, I did not expect Time Crisis on an iPhone to be as fun as it is in the arcade. The visceral thrill of actually aiming and firing at marauders and thugs simply cannot be replaced by tapping on a small screen. But the bottom line is that I just did not enjoy Time Crisis 2nd Strike. I thought it was dull and was shot way too many times because I missed an enemy hiding behind my finger while trying to touch another dude.

text: There are lots of reasons to love Light author M. John Harrison — but one of them is his great vocabulary, according to a post over at Ashville Ink-Slinger. Writer David Mayeux makes the case that "M. John Harrison has the richest vocabulary I think I've ever encountered in an author. His adjectives, especially, come from obscure realms of biology (esp. ornithology), geology, medicine, and what I imagine to be crumbling tomes of cant and argot." And there's a glossary of weird and wonderful terms, that you're going to want to memorize and start using in everyday conversation. Or at least, I will. These are real words in the English language, not neologisms — which only makes them better. [Ashville Ink-Slinger]

Explore John's most dramatic transformations from the show.
In each episode, John employs clever fixes for everyday curb appeal issues.
From the mailbox to the frontdoor, these exteriors really make a statement.
This home has been in Kris' family for generations, it's where Kris spent his childhood and over the years this has become a highly sought-after neighborhood to raise a family. After Kris and Melanie had twin girls, Kris's 90 year-old grandmother decided to leave the house to him and his family. They never could have afforded to move back into this neighborhood without this gift and they are thrilled to now call this their home, but after years of neglect, it's going to take a lot to bring this home back to it's original beauty. The place is definitely the eye-sore of the block. The paint is bland beige, window trim is peeling, the yard is half juniper, half litter box - it's no place for kids to run and play. They are here to stay and for their family and their neighbors, they are hoping the Curb Appeal team can help them turn this into a proud place to call home.
Angelica Mendoza is an Oakland native who takes pride in protecting her community as a member of the Oakland police department. She is a homicide detective, a job that is both emotionally and physically draining, leaving her no time or energy to tackle all that needs to be done to the front of her house. For all the time and energy she spends on her community, Angelica feels it's a shame she can't do one favor for the rest of her block by making her home look as nice as the rest. She was drawn to this neighborhood because it is quiet and beautiful. Neighbors maintain their landscaping and keep up with their curb appeal; she would like to do the same, if not for her, but for her neighbors' sake. She did some work on the inside when she first moved in, but when she really looked at the front of her house - ideas escaped her. The one thing she has managed to keep alive is a tree her mother planted years ago. She would like to hang on to it, but even that is looking worse for wear these days. She needs the help of the Curb Appeal team to do their magic and help her to keep up with her block.
The Villoria family knew they wanted to move into this Oakland neighborhood for the schools and the family-friendly community. They purchased the only house they could afford, bought it as-is, and it needed a lot of work. The inside is now livable, but they haven't had the funds to fix up the front. They are tied closely to their community, and wish they could better represent their block. Their house is the only one with a chain-link fence, a non-existent lawn, and absolutely no color or character. Kimo works as an on-call IT technician, (working all hours of the day with no consistent schedule) while Michelle is an art teacher, and they have 2 kids in school. Their lives are very busy which adds to the reason their front of their house basically looks abandoned. They would love to change that and turn their home into a destination on the block, but they need the Curb Appeal team to give them the jump-start!
When Rachel and Kristy Kinnon decided to start growing their family, they made the choice to move from the hustle and bustle of the city to the suburb of Oakland. They found the perfect charming neighborhood, but the house they could afford wasn't exactly picket fences and all-american charm that they had dreamed. The green-on-green-on-green paint scheme is the reason they've named it their leprechaun home. The previous owners covered the lawn in mulch to prevent weeds from popping up - yet they still have to weed the mulch every few months. The concrete steps look like an after-thought, the house has no particular style, the list of problems goes on and on. They've become fast friends with their entire block and they spend most of their life outside mingling with neighbors and watching their son play with neighborhood kids, but rarely do people hang out in the Kinnons front yard. They need Curb Appeal's help to turn this into a place people want to come and transform it from the eye-sore to the eye-catcher of the block!

text: This is new type of pull buoy system that is easy to use and does not fall off. They are great for all strokes and fasten with velcro. You can develop upper body strength without worrying about sacrificing rhythm or your technique. You can focus on pulling and not onkeeping your legs squeezed together. They encourage long-axis rotation and develop proper swimming angles and balance of stroke.How to Apply and Use RANGS Independent Pull BuoysThe Smarter Pull BuoyDescription:RANGS are neoprene independent pull buoys designed by coach and biomechanist Steve Friederang that wrap around each leg and hold with velcro to free you to swim naturally. Each buoy conforms to your legs, providing the most efficient lower body support. This support then allows you to settle into a front-end dominated rhythm as you develop upper body strength. So, rip your turns, even kick off the wall if you want, knowing that the RANGS independent buoy system will not fall off. RANGS can be used for all four strokes, providing much more natural rotation in freestyle and backstroke, and creating a more streamlined body position in breast and fly. Better for rhythm. Better for balance. RANGS: simply better pull buoys. How to Apply: • RANGS have two sides -- the outside which allows the hooks on the velcro to comfortably adjust to any diameter leg, and the inside, a special neoprene pattern that keeps the buoy from slipping when you swim or make turns. • RANGS also have a front and back -- where the foam conforms to your leg and provides lift. Typically the back side is the side facing the sky or roof and the front faces the bottom of the pool. Reversing this application decreases stability and increases roll. Experiment to see which is best for you. • Place the RANG with the neoprene sticky side toward your leg. Most people place the RANGS as high up the thigh as possible, but experiment to find your ideal center of buoyancy. • Wrap as tightly as comfortable to ensure the buoy won't slip. If it does slip, stop and pull it tighter and lock the velcro in place. • Do the same with the other RANG for the other leg. If you are a swimmer or coach interested in making sure your legs don't bend during the recovery part of the kick in dolphin and flutter, place the foam of the RANG behind the knee and wrap tightly with your leg straight. You will have to kick from your hip both on the upsweep and the down-sweep. Most swimmers learn from this feedback and build the muscles and muscle memory for a proper kick in a short time, and simply swim faster from then on.Principles:RANGS allow swimmers with any body type to customize ideal strokes and gain upper body endurance without changing stroke mechanics. This makes your practices more efficient and more effective, and helps reduce injuries to shoulders and knees which are often negatively affected by poor body position (ie: "flat" strokes). RANGS also help you align with the principles of summation of forces and specific adaptation to imposed demands (the SAID principle).Rinse with fresh water after use and store in your Finis mesh bag in between practices. How to use: For Freestyle and Backstroke: • RANGS encourage rotation. So forget your habit of staying flat when squeezing the old fashioned buoys between your legs. Now you can and you should rotate 40-50 degrees at the shoulders and hips as you pull or swim in freestyle and backstroke. This will provide a great advantage over those who are squeezing their knees against a buoy. • Focus on pulling, not on holding your thighs together. Allow your body to rotate into an ideal position to pull and feel for your ideal center from front to back as well as from side to side. • TURNS: Pick up your kick and perform a single dolphin coming into the wall to raise your hips and pull with your arms. You should be able to see the front wall halfway through your flip while upside down and your knees should be bent allowing your jump off the wall with full force the instant your feet make contact. • Focus on snapping your turns, not on retrieving your pull buoy. Your knees should be shoulder width apart and you should explode into and off the walls. Get your hands in streamline position and your elbows locked with your body in alignment on its side BEFORE the balls of your feet bounce onto and leap your body off of the wall. Dolphin if you wish, again naturally, which means your knees will flex open and shut and you kick up and down. For Breaststroke and Butterfly: • Using RANGS lifts your hips and shifts your center of buoyancy. You can adjust this by attaching your RANGS up or down your leg into the perfect position. Have a coach give you feedback as to where this perfect center is. Even when your legs are exhausted, you can work your stroke because your hips are where they are supposed to be. You may use RANGS in full stroke fly or breast or you may focus totally on upper body power or endurance. • RANGS, used properly, encourage front-end swimming in all four strokes. You should feel as if you are swimming or pulling down-hill, and underwater video should show your hips in exactly the correct position allowing you to conserve energy and to develop power and endurance in the right muscles. • RANGS are perfect for senior swimmers, triathletes, masters, age groupers , fitness swimmers, water polo players, lifesaving applications and even teaching applications (though they are NOT a lifesaving device).

SENDAI, Japan, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Researchers in Japan say brain scans of children who watched TV over an extended period of time showed a negative impact on higher-order brain function.
Ryuta Kawashima, a professor at the Division of Cognitive Neuroscience Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer at Tohoku University, and colleagues said the study involved some 270 children ages 5 to 18 who watched up to 4 hours of TV a day.
The brains of the children and teens were scanned using magnetic resonance imaging.
The researchers used longitudinal follow-up data on the study participants and found prolonged TV viewing was associated with a negative change in verbal abilities and brain anatomy over time.
The study, published in the journal Cerebral Cortex, found extended TV watching adversely affected neural mechanisms such as verbal abilities.
