State Treasurer Distributes Unclaimed Cash (Oct 09, 2012)
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma treasurer's office says it handed out more than $250,000 in unclaimed cash and stock to nearly 500 people at the Tulsa State Fair this year.
Oklahoma Treasurer Ken Miller says that's how much money was found for people who visited the treasurer's booth at the fair and conducted searches through the office's unclaimed property database.
Treasurer employees discovered more than $259,000 in unclaimed property after workers conducted more than 3,350 database searches at this year's fair. The largest find was $32,000 from the sale of stock for a man in Grove.
Miller said Oklahomans can also search for unclaimed property on their website, www.treasurer.ok.gov .
Last month, Miller's staff found more than $190,000 for more than 600 visitors to the Oklahoma State Fair in Oklahoma City.

This is my new favorite bear video.
What we have here is a silly black bear who has somehow gotten its head jammed into an old-timey milk can, which I find amusing because A.) hey bear, I didn't think you guys were big fans of milk, and B.) I didn't know old-timey milk cans were still used for anything other than being converted into planters by moms who want their garden to have a certain rustic feel. But anyway.
So this dumb bear is just stumbling around a corn field with a milk can on his head when two cool dudes on a forwarder show up to help him. A forwarder is a giant-ass vehicle that lumberjacks use to move around felled trees, and it basically looks like a real-life transformer. It is the absolute biggest, most bad-ass machine that two bros could decide to use to rescue a bear with a milk can stuck on its head, and that's exactly what happens in this video. I like to imagine that these guys use their forwarder to solve every problem. "Hey, Brad! I can't get this jar of pickles to open, can you go grab the forwarder?"
And the best part is, everything works out perfectly! "That worked just like clock work, by golly!" shouts one of the bros. You said it, man.

The simplest answer is filmmakers' lack of imagination, of course. But as Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon explain in their memoir -- an indispensable Christmas present for any would-be screenwriter who'd sell his grandmother and soul to get a Lexus -- the most successful writers TRY to be unimaginative. They live to sell concepts that can be expressed in a dozen words or less, and Hollywood producers revere them.
The book's title is "Writing Movies for Fun and Profit," and the words "Fun and" have been crossed out with a red pencil. (It comes from Touchstone Books and costs $23.99. Even if you have no intention of prostituting yourself in Hollywood, you'll get $24 worth of laughs.)
These guys know whereof they speak. They have worked on "Night at the Museum" and its sequel, the Jimmy Fallon/Queen Latifah turkey "Taxi," "Herbie Fully Loaded" and "The Pacifier," which along with their other films have collectively grossed more than a billion dollars. They're now collaborating on "Hell Baby," described this way on IMDB: "An expectant couple who move into the most haunted house in New Orleans call upon the services of the Vatican's elite exorcism team to save them from a demonic baby." Nuff said!
What makes their book so entertaining is that they speak truth so bluntly. Most of us assume moronic movies are failed attempts to do better work, but their theory is the opposite: Hollywood strives to make movies as bland, derivative and free of novelty or daring as possible, in order to appeal to the widest possible audience. That audience often can't tell the difference or doesn't care, so everyone involved goes home rich. (An example: The $177 million U.S. gross for the brain-dead "Night at the Museum 2.")
Their book offers frank, funny advice about real situations: joining the Writers Guild of America, entering arbitration over credits, what to do when your movie goes into turnaround (i.e. the person who fought for you at the studio gets fired, and his replacement hates you). You could use it as a guide to breaking into the business, while laughing over chapters with titles such as "I'm Drinking Too Much: Is That a Problem?" and "Why Does Almost Every Studio Movie Suck Donkey Balls?"
The book's depressing if you take it seriously, because it implies that thousands of people who might otherwise be at least slightly creative have devoted themselves to feeding you junk food. But as long as audiences buy that junk food cheerfully, why should they make anything else?

What a great blessing to this country it would be if Hollywood ran its course and ended.

There is no incentive for the big studios to make good movies anymore. If you make a movie, and market/hype it well, with a weekend or two of sales (at $12+ per viewer) you make money, regardless of what the movie is about, or if it is any good. A year later, the studio does it again with rentals and they profit again. Lower ticket prices and force the big studios to make good movies, to make a profit.

They're right. That's why 99% of movies are basically the same. Pick up a book on screenwriting and they tell you how to write to the formula. I don't remember the last time I was surprised by a Hollywood movie. Years of watching them means that, even if you are not consciously aware of the formula on which they all are based, unconsciously you recognize the plot (same one as the last movie you saw) and know exactly what is going to happen. If you have something original, it hasn't a chance - and no, I'm not a frustrated screenwriter, just a frustrated movie watcher.
On another note, the three comments before mine are just sad. What has this hateful bile got to do with the post?

The simplest answer is that all movies don't suck, but if we believed all your reviews, we'd think they did. Some movies do suck, and it's like you wait for those to review, instead of looking at what's worthwhile.
I've actually stopped reading most of your reviews. I don't think you know how to critique a film.

Audiences like the familiar. It is not too hard to figure out but it gets muddled when a film tries to appeal to too broad an audience. These films become incoherent because they operate on a buckshot philosophy instead of delicately layering of themes and references. Wait for the video or find a critic you trust before you spend your cash.

I'm a movie buff, I read a lot of critical reviews, and Larry Toppman is one of the best in the business. We're lucky to have him here in this cultural backwater.
Mr. Gump above was correct - where does this disgusting bile come from? There really needs to be more moderation on these comment boards. Or at least make people - mostly hate-filled freeloaders I'm guessing - prove they subscribe to the paper before they're allowed to leave comments. They ruin the comment sections for the rest of us who know how to act in a civilized manner and are trying to contribute to a worthwhile discussion.

Omegle is the logical endpoint of a ubiquitous global network: a single-page website whose sole function is to connect strangers in one-on-one conversation. Upon visiting the site, you are put through to an unseen interlocutor within a few seconds, and then left to do what you will with this temporary channel of communication.
It's Twitter-like in its elegant simplicity, and another of those oh-so-obvious ideas that makes a programmer wince at not having thought of it earlier. And, given the manifold denizens of the net, the outcome of a conversation is entirely indeterminate.
My experiences with it so far have ranged from a pleasant chat with a college student from Derby (on food, education, and getting lost) to a trolling aggressor attempting to cast spells on me ("i summon EPIC INFERNO"); I gather that the system is being put to use for some sort of player vs player game-playing. Another party left rapidly upon discovering that I was not female, simultaneously honouring some equivalent to Godwin's law that states that any online conversation with strangers will inevitably include a mention of paedophilia, lesbians, or 'cyber' (in this case, all three).
No authorship is given, but a brief whois suggests that the person behind the site may be Leif K-Brooks, an excellently-monikered teenage coder from Vermont. Nice work, Leif!

When you've suffered a workplace injury, it can be difficult to move forward with your life. Your days are often consumed with doctor's visits, medical bills, pain management, and worries about missed work days and paychecks. The last thing you need during this stressful time is to navigate the confusing world of workers compensation on your own.
A Forceful Advocate for Injury Victims in Albany and Upstate New York
It's my goal, as Paul Giannetti Attorney at Law, to make your post-injury life easier by being a forceful and skillful advocate for your rights. Over the past 20 years, I have helped hundreds of accident, injury and disabled victims in the Albany area obtain the full workers' compensation benefits, Social Security disability benefits, and other compensation they're entitled to under New York State and federal law.
I want to help you, too. I am dedicated to offering compassionate, personalized attention to my clients, and obtaining for them the full and fair compensation they deserve. If you or a loved one has been hurt or disabled on the job, call me at (866) 868-2960 or contact me for a free consultation.
Helping You Obtain the Benefits and Compensation You Deserve
Under New York law, employees injured on the job are usually entitled to workers' compensation payments without regard to fault. But that doesn't mean your employer or their insurance company won't fight to deny or limit the amount of compensation awarded to you.
You deserve an experienced workers' compensation attorney who fully understands your rights under New York law and is ready to battle for every cent to which you're entitled. That's what you get in me. On a practical level, you can also count on me to:
- Guide you through the workers' compensation application process
- Help collect medical evidence to prove your injury or disability
- Vigorously represent you at Workers' Compensation Board hearings, proceedings and appeals
- Fight for interrupted, terminated or survivor benefits
- Work quickly so the compensation process won't be jeopardized or unduly lag
- Give my undivided, personal attention to your case
- charge legal fees only if you receive compensation for your injuries
I'll also investigate whether you might be entitled to financial relief from other sources, including Social Security disability and personal injury claims against third parties. If you have a valid claim, I will pursue all appropriate legal remedies to help ensure that you are fully compensated for your injuries, and that your standard of living will not decline due to your injury or disability.
Extending a Hand to all Injury Victims
I work exclusively with individuals who have been injured or disabled on the job, as well as those who have been injured in non-workplace accidents. These injuries may include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Skull fractures
- Amputations
- Lifting or bending injuries
- Construction accident injuries
- Motor vehicle accident injuries
- Slip and fall injuries
- Vision or hearing loss
- Occupational diseases, (i.e., Carpal Tunnel, repetitive stress injuries, exposure to toxins, etc.)
Contact Paul Giannetti for a Free Consultation Today
If you or a loved one has been injured at work in the Albany area or in upstate New York, call (866) 868-2960 or contact the workers' compensation law firm of Paul Giannetti for a free consultation. You pay legal fees only if you receive compensation for your injuries.

Wanted: Experienced vertical cavers who can act for a caving movie
: Film crew (lighting, continuity, sound, sherpas, etc)
I am planning on producing a fictional (but based on a true story) movie on caving. The program will be around 40 minutes long and requires five male and/or female actors. Since there are a lot of scenes that have speaking parts, I need cavers who can 'act' in a realistic manner. I plan on doing 'auditions'.
Most of the filming will be in a specific cave (Greenbrier County, WV), but some will be done outside. The cave is wet and will require wetsuits. It is also vertical with 3 short (maximum of 40 feet) waterfall drops (mostly out of the water). A good portion of the filming will take place deep in the cave with travel time of 2 to 3 hours (one way). Film trips will last upwards of 12 to 15 hours and will involve swimming in some places.
I plan on filming in the fall of 2017 – August and September time frame. The cave floods, so trips and timing will be somewhat dependent on the weather. Filming will not be done in one or two days – it will take a number of trips into the cave to capture all the required scenes. Anyone who is interested would have to be able to commit to a very flexible schedule next fall.
Any help would be on a volunteer basis only. This is a very low budget movie, but there may be some perks as to equipment in order to maintain continuity. Your name in lights, free copies, and a few dinners are definitely included as an inducement.
Please contact David Socky if you are interested in helping out. Email: email@example.com, cell phone: 540-529-1591.

Slideshow: Serving children with disabilities in India
Twenty years ago, parents of children with disabilities in India had almost nowhere to turn. Since then, what began as one small school has become a game-changer.
We have it on good authority that one child can change history. There is no doubt that Moy Moy did that for my family; many say she did it for the city of Dehradun in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, too.
When my husband and I adopted Moy Moy, she weighed just shy of two and a half pounds. Her mother had gone into premature labor while on a bus. The bus pulled over and Moy Moy was born on the side of the road, then wrapped in a shawl and left at a local hospital. When we brought her home two weeks later, we had no idea how drastically our lives had just changed.
Moy Moy's disabilities revealed themselves to us gradually: In addition to the cerebral palsy she was born with, she has a degenerative condition which has progressed slowly over time. Now 23, she uses a wheelchair, eats through a tube, and speaks only with her eyes.
But our faith teaches us that suffering, when accepted and embraced, can be redemptive. Moy Moy's disabilities inspired me to start a school for her in 1994, as there was no school I would have considered sending her to in our town at that time.
It was meant to be a neighborhood initiative. But one thing kept leading to the next, and before long, our little school had become a mini-empire with seven centers, 120 staff, hundreds of children receiving an education and therapy every day, thousands of parents, health workers, and teachers trained, and a national policy-level presence.
It is a revolution—one that is desperately needed in India—where the government is only now beginning to acknowledge the extent of the problem. Most disabled children are excluded from school, nearly 75 percent of disabled adults are unemployed, and there are virtually no accessible buildings or transportation. By partnering with the government and dozens of like-minded progressive organizations across India, we are beginning to change that reality.
Named for an inspiring local teacher, the Latika Roy Foundation's vision is an inclusive world where children grow up together and disability is just one part of their full, exciting lives.
Here is a slideshow of some of the daily activities that happen at Latika Vihar school. Make sure you don't miss the captions that accompany each photograph.

Checking in on… the MWCPosted by Brian Goodman on January 19th, 2011
Andrew Murawa is the RTC correspondent for the Mountain West and Pac-10 Conferences.
A Look Back
San Diego State and BYU continued to get separation from the rest of the pack this week, adding three more wins between them and hurtling us one week closer to an epic matchup between the two favorites in Provo on January 26. While BYU's one game this week was a big 25-point win over intrastate rival Utah (more on that game later), the Aztecs posted the two most impressive wins of the week, getting a home win over UNLV in a slugfest before traveling to New Mexico and getting a 10-point up-tempo win in perhaps their toughest road trip of the season to date (which is saying a lot for a team who has now won 11 games away from the Viejas Arena this season).
Team of the Week: San Diego State – We've pointed out in this space before that sometimes this season, the Aztecs have been guilty of not giving great effort against some of the lesser teams on their schedule. They've been known to come out of the chutes a little slow. And while they've killed people on the offensive glass, they have been less than impressive on the other backboards at times. None of that was a problem this week. The Aztecs controlled the boards on both ends of the floor against UNLV on Wednesday. They fought and scrapped and harassed Rebel players from the opening jump to the final buzzer in scraping out a six-point win. Then on Saturday, used a completely different up-tempo, fast-breaking, three-point drilling style in overwhelming the Lobos in one of the toughest places to play in America. Kawhi Leonard, Malcolm Thomas, and D.J Gay were all on top of their games this week, and with Duke being upset on Wednesday, the Aztecs now own the longest winning streak in the nation, with a 19-0 record.
Player of the Week: Kawhi Leonard, Sophomore, San Diego State – Let's get one thing straight right out of the gate. In a week where Jimmer Fredette posted 47 points, four rebounds, six assists, and two steals on 16-28 shooting with six threes mixed in there, I don't for a second feel bad about handing the Player of the Week award (and all the glories that accompany it) to someone else. Especially when that someone else posted two dominant double-doubles in one of the tougher back-to-back sets of games of conference play. Leonard averaged 17 points and 16 rebounds this week, and those numbers alone are impressive enough. But throw in four assists in each game. Throw in a total of 16 trips to the line on the week. Throw in harassing defense that limited guys like Philip McDonald and Tre'Von Willis – guys listed in their rosters as guards – to a combined 4-16 from the field for 15 total points, more than eight below their combined average, and you'll see why Leonard is right there with Fredette in the race for the MWC Player of the Year.
Newcomer of the Week: Drew Gordon, Junior, New Mexico – This. No, really. Check this out. That alone had me abusing my TiVo remote's rewind-button repeatedly on Saturday evening. In a game chock full of spectacular plays, that one was beyond the pale. Aside from the highlight reel stuff, Gordon was absolutely dominant in that game, playing his best game as a Lobo, and really, his best game as a collegiate. Against the hyper-athletic Aztec frontline, Gordon kept his Lobos in the game by drawing fouls across the SDSU frontcourt and scoring at will with a combination of feathery-soft jump hooks and athletic putbacks on his way to 23 points and 14 boards. After taking some time to get comfortable with his new squad, the UCLA transfer averaged 19 points and 15 rebounds this week, and while the Lobos are looking up at .500 in conference play, the combination of Gordon and senior point guard Dairese Gary could be a scary proposition down the stretch.
Game of the Week: San Diego State 87, New Mexico 77 – Have you checked this out yet? My goodness. Down the stretch, this game wasn't exactly a nailbiter, but there was so much great basketball in this game that I wouldn't mind going back and watching this one again. Aside from Gordon's crazy dunk, there was Leonard throwing down a sick dunk on one possession, then coming back down on the very next possession and knocking down a confident three in the face of a Lobo defender, a pair of plays that had to have the NBA scouts in attendance drooling. Then there was the Gay/Gary duel, which made me realize how much I am going to miss those two bulldogs after a couple more months. Gay was outstanding, knocking down seven threes (including a runner at the half-time buzzer to cap a stellar stretch), but also getting to the line with ease and handing out a steady four assists along the way. Then there was Gary's 23 points, seven assists and four threes as he and Gordon did everything possible to keep the Lobos within striking distance. While the game was never in doubt down the stretch, the play in the meat of the game was enthralling. Last year, the teams' roles were pretty much reversed, with UNM off to the fast start in the front half of the season and SDSU just beginning to round into shape at the start of conference play. When they met in a classic semifinal matchup in the MWC Tournament, it was SDSU riding steady improvement through February and March who was able to rise up and grab the MWC automatic bid. Don't be surprised if SDSU and New Mexico meet in the 1/4 matchup in this year's MWC Semis with the Lobos needing to win to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, and don't be surprised to see another classic battle.
Game of the Upcoming Week: New Mexico at UNLV, 1/12, 1PM PST, Vs. – With San Diego State and Brigham Young well-established as the favorites in the conference, this is a battle between the next tier of teams. After starting out an impressive 9-0, the Rebels have now lost four of their last nine games and are in need of a confidence-boosting win. The Lobos currently sit at 1-2 in the conference and have yet to score a major win on the season – a win in Vegas on Saturday would be their first big notch on their potential NCAA Tournament resume. But beating the Rebs at home is easier said than done. They'll need Gordon to reprise his dominating play this week and exploit a somewhat soft UNLV underbelly, while Gary will need to withstand the harassing Rebel defensive pressure on the perimeter. For the Rebels, it would help if they could find someone to knock down a couple perimeter jumpers. With so much on the line for both teams, this could be a rockfight.
Power Rankings
1. San Diego State (19-0, 4-0): We've talked about Leonard and Gay above, so it's time to check out some other Aztecs here. First, senior Malcolm Thomas has been a great frontcourt pairing with Leonard. He doesn't need a lot of offense run for him to be effective, he's plenty capable of converting his nearly three offensive rebounds per game into easy offense and he converts a high percentage of his shots from the field. He brings it on a consistent basis on the defensive end, getting after the defensive glass while also blocking more than two shots a game. Then there's senior Billy White, who has been quiet of late. He blew up for 30 points and nine rebounds as the Aztecs made a name for themselves early in the season against Gonzaga, but since then he has been quiet. He has scored in double figures just twice in the last month and hasn't grabbed more than five rebounds since before Thanksgiving. While White doesn't need to be a big scorer or rebounder for SDSU to be effective, they do need consistent contributions out of him for them to live up to their potential. If he can get back to being an effective third option offensively (behind Leonard and Gay), SDSU's got a deep March run to look forward to.
A look ahead: The Aztecs host Air Force on Wednesday before getting a bye this weekend in advance of next Wednesday's colossal trip to BYU.
2. BYU (17-1, 3-0): So, yeah, there was that Fredette 47-point outburst. It was real, and it was spectacular. But it's just Jimmer. You almost expect those kinds of performances out of him by now. 34 here, 39 there, 22 is a bit of a slow night, make up for it with 49. Ho hum. Oh, and he broke the 2000-point plateau in his career at BYU in the Utah game, and it is not out of the question that he could catch Danny Ainge for the all-time mark. Well, we've got 12 more regular season games worth of Fredette and you better get a glimpse of him whenever you can at this point. There are worse ways for a basketball fan to spend a couple of hours. While Fredette's big game got all the ink, four other Cougars scored in double figures against the Utes, including Jackson Emery who went for 20 and hit a couple of milestones as well, breaking Ainge's all-time steals record and hitting the 1000-point mark in his Cougar career. On Tuesday night, BYU notched a 26-point win over TCU in which each of their five starters scored in double figures for the second straight game.
A look ahead: After a slow week last week, BYU makes a sneaky-tough trip to Colorado State, a game in which head coach Dave Rose will need to make sure his boys aren't looking ahead to the visit from the Aztecs.
3. UNLV (14-4, 2-2): The Rebels bounced back from their loss at SDSU with a 12-point win at Air Force. Playing without senior Tre'Von Willis, who missed the game with a knee injury, the Rebels played uninspired ball for most of the first 30 minutes and found themselves trailing by five at the under-eight timeout. But they picked things up defensively down the stretch, held the Falcons scoreless for over six minutes and knocked down their free throws in the end to earn a tough road win. Chace Stanback led the way for UNLV with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Derrick Jasper grabbed 11 more rebounds and handed out six assists.
A look ahead: The Rebels host Colorado State and New Mexico in a pretty tough one-two homestand. Willis is expected to be a game-time decision for the CSU game on Wednesday.
4. New Mexico (13-5, 1-2): While the Lobos have been unable to gather up any momentum to this point on their schedule, you can see this team is starting to get dangerous. Everybody around the conference knows how good Gary is, but now with Gordon beginning to play lights out, the Lobos have two major offensive threats, each of whom is effective on the defensive end. Freshmen wing Kendall Williams and center Alex Kirk have each turned it on at times over the last couple weeks, but each is still susceptible to inconsistency. Then there's junior Philip McDonald, who remains a bit of an enigma. Head coach Steve Alford relegated him to coming off the bench in their seven-point home win over Colorado State this week, after a series of lackluster performances. However, he responded against the Rams by posting a career-high-tying 27 points. Figuring that McDonald had taken the hint, Alford put him back in the starting lineup against SDSU and he was relatively invisible again, missing all five of his field goal attempts and posting just six points. It's anybody's guess where he goes from here, but he'll need to get going for the Lobos to make a run at an NCAA Tournament bid.
A look ahead: Road trips to Utah and UNLV loom; a road sweep is a dream scenario, a split is perfectly acceptable (although at some point, they'll need to win some road games against quality competition), and an 0-2 week dooms the Lobos to NIT contention.
5. Colorado State (12-5, 2-1): After dropping the game at The Pit, the Rams returned home and took care of TCU in a solid game. Sophomore point guard Dorian Green (15 PPG) and senior forward Andy Ogide (13.5 PPG, 8 RPG) were the big names this week, but the head coach Tim Miles has to be wondering what happened to Travis Franklin. Since the senior scored 67 points in three games in Hawai'i during the Diamond Head Classic, he has only scored a total of 51 points in the last six games and he has only attempted five field goals per game over that span. He picked things up in the TCU game, going for 14 points on five-of-nine shooting, but the Rams could sure use a more longer-term contribution from Franklin.
A look ahead: CSU travels to UNLV on Wednesday, then hosts BYU on Saturday. Good luck.
6. Air Force (10-6, 1-2): After taking the middle of the week off, the Falcons hosted UNLV on Saturday and were golden for about 32 minutes. Unfortunately, over the next seven minutes they were, well, the opposite of golden. They failed to score for 6:35, gave up a 13-0 Rebel run over that span, and never recovered. While there were any number of factors that contributed to their loss (beyond, you know, not scoring for 6:35), the Falcons struggled most in two areas: rebounding and free throw shooting. While their inability to rebound effectively was not a surprise, their 12/25 shooting from the line was glaring, given their 71% clip prior to the UNLV game.
A look ahead: The Falcons travel to San Diego State on Wednesday for an interesting one. Air Force will likely get killed on the glass, because Air Force always gets killed on the glass and SDSU always kills people on the glass. But, the Falcons will ugly the game up, keep the numbers of possessions to a minimum, and if they can make their shots, could hang around for 30 minutes or so. Or they could lose by 40. Who knows? After that they return back home to host Wyoming in a game that even the most die-hard MWC fan could be excused for missing.
7. Utah (8-10, 1-3): Here's the thing: a 25-point home loss to the hated in-state rival is never a good thing. Letting the hated in-state rival's stud guard go for 47? Worse yet, all that happening in the last matchup as conference foes? Pretty disastrous. But, underneath all of that, there were little signs of good things around the Ute program this week. Jim Boylen's club bounced back from that loss to whip Wyoming on the road. Junior center David Foster, last year's MWC Defensive Player of the Year, has now played 25 or more minutes for three straight games, something that had only happened one other time all season, and in the process he blocked eight shots and grabbed 23 rebounds. And junior wing Will Clyburn continued his strong season with 47 points, 16 rebounds and six threes on the week. But, turnovers continued to haunt the Utes, most obviously in the BYU game when they turned the ball over 22 times and forced just five. While the problems with the Utah program extend beyond the point guard play, that position is a pretty good microcosm for their struggles: between juniors Josh Watkins and Chris Kupets, there are three more turnovers than assists on the season.
A look ahead: Utah hosts New Mexico, then travels to TCU on Saturday.
8. TCU (10-9, 1-3): The Horned Frogs won at home and lost on the road last week, knocking off Wyoming and losing to Colorado State. The line of the week definitely came from Ronnie Moss, posting 27 points, ten rebounds (not bad for a 6-2 guard), four steals and six threes against Wyoming. Point guard Hank Thorns also made a splash, totaling 19 assists on the week, while freshman forward Amric Fields contributed 14.5 points per contest. The Frogs followed the ten-point loss at Colorado State with a rough road trip to BYU to start this week and headed back to Fort Worth with a 26-point loss for their effort. Moss did go for 27 points again and Thorns had ten more assists, but the game was never competitive.
A look ahead: The Frogs welcome Utah into the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum on Saturday in a game which should help clear up the bottom of the MWC standings.
9. Wyoming (8-10, 1-3): I like to be positive around here. Sure, there are always some negative stories around college basketball, but college hoops fans generally don't like to dwell on those things. We want to take about kids maturing into good players, coaches getting the most out of their student-athletes and the fun and excitement surrounding the sport we love. In that spirit, I'd like to take you back a couple of weeks ago when Francisco Cruz hit a buzzer-beater for an upset win over New Mexico that lifted the spirits of an entire program, albeit briefly. We can get to this week's two losses by an average of 17.5 points and the news that junior Afam Muojeke – the team's leading scorer from last season – will miss the remainder of this year with a ruptured patellar tendon, at some later date.
A look ahead: Wyoming gets the middle of the week off, then travels to Colorado Spring for a meeting with Air Force on Saturday.

MTV News' James Montgomery picks Embryonic as #2 album of 2009
The Flaming Lips - Embryonic was recently named the #2 album of 2009 by James Montgomery of MTV News!
"The album on which the Lips take all the good will they've built up over the past decade and jettison it out into space, Embryonic is a dissonant, disturbing thing, all fuzzed-out guitars, churning low end and muttered, barely there vocals, with the occasional animal noise (courtesy of Karen O)..."

EMBRYONIC is #8 in Billboard this week!
For the first time in the band's 26 year career, the Flaming Lips have scored their (our) first top 10 album. "Embryonic" debuts in the Billboard Top 200 this week at #8 and we couldn't be more thrilled. Wow!
I would just like to extend a most sincere thanks on behalf of everyone in the band....not just to the people who bought the record this week (though an extra special thanks does go to you), but to every Flaming Lips appreciator on the planet Earth. It's been an incredible 26 years, of which I am proud and honored to have been a part for the past 7, and we quite simply couldn't do what we do without you. I'm sorry if this sounds cheesy, but I am sort of in a state of shock right now and it really is the truth.
Again, from the bottom of all of our hearts, thank you! We hope to see you somewhere out there on tour over the next couple of years or at the March Of 1000 Flaming Skeletons in Oklahoma City this Saturday.....or anywhere, really. Wherever you are, you're always in our hearts.
Humbly yours,

BROWNSBURG, Ind. -- Nationals Notes from Jim Luikens' Reporter's Notebook at the 59th Annual Chevrolet Performance NHRA U.S. Nationals
Speaking of the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, next year will be the milestone 60th Annual edition.The NHRA is planning a number of special, theme-park-style attractions that will bring to life some of the biggest and most historical events in the history of the "Big Go." It was also announced that a year-long anniversary sweepstakes held by Candlewood Suites will award a trip for two for the grand prize winner to the 60th Anniversary race.
This year's race itself played out in four acts. Act One was Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday until about 5 PM when conditions were very hot and very humid. In fact, Saturday was the hottest day of the year in Indianapolis with a recorded high of 96 degrees. Around 5 PM a cold front moved through the raceway bringing with it wind, rain and lightning of memorable proportions. The result was three hour rain delay and a 20 degree drop in temperature that led to Act Two. Mineshaft conditions and very impressive elapsed times followed for the Fuel Funny Cars that completed their qualifying round Saturday evening. Act Three was Sunday when overcast conditions led to cooler temperatures and Act Four closed out the event on Monday with more (relatively) cool conditions in the lower 80s.
The Capco Contractors team used this event to introduce Billy Torrence as a teammate to his son, Steve Torrence, in a second Capco car. When T/F qualifying was completed Steve stood third in the field with a fine 3.812 elapsed time and his father was sixth in his debut performance with a 3.823-second elapsed time. When each driver won their first round the elimination ladder paired them together for the second round. Young Steve took the win when dad had brake failure on the burnout. Steve then parlayed that victory into a final round appearance for the second day in a row. Monday's T/F final matched the same two competitors that had met in the final round of Sunday's Traxxas Shootout. For the second day in a row the result was the same as Chad Langdon reigned victorious over Steve each day.
Tim Tindle, in a second Danny Rowe P/M Camaro, supplied the only heart-stopping moment of the weekend when he impacted the left guard wall near the finish line. Despite vaulting over the wall Tim was able to eventually extract himself from his badly-damaged car and walk to the ambulance.
Former NHRA Fuel Funny Car World Champion Bruce Lawson was here making exhibition passes in his newly-recreated USA-1 1968 Camaro. It is the nicest recreation of a historic drag car that I have ever seen. In fact, I would dare bet that the new car is nicer than his original Camaro ever was. In exhibition runs Bruce recorded a best elapsed time of 7.35 seconds at 184.93 miles per hour.

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign striker Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid, the Barclays Premier League club have announced.
The Spain international had long been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and now the Blues have confirmed they have met the buy-out clause for the 25-year-old.
"Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Diego Costa, with Chelsea meeting the buy-out clause for the Spanish international," read a statement on the club's official website.
Brazil-born Costa netted some 35 goals for Atletico last season as they won the Spanish title and reached the Champions League final, where they lost in extra-time to Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old emerged as the leading summer transfer target for Blues manager Jose Mourinho, who was determined to add some firepower to a squad which came up just short behind Manchester City and Liverpool in the Barclays Premier League and were knocked out of Europe in the semi-finals by Atletico.
It is believed the transfer fee will be in the region of £32m.
Defender Ashley Cole has left Chelsea this summer at the end of his contract, along with England midfielder Frank Lampard.
However, former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas was signed from Barcelona on June 12, the day before Spain crashed to a 5-1 defeat to Holland in their opening World Cup match in Brazil.
Earlier on Tuesday, Chelsea announced goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer had signed a new one-year contract.
The former Australia international, 41, headed to Stamford Bridge last summer on a free transfer from west London neighbours Fulham to offer back-up to Petr Cech and went on to make 12 appearances – including the semi-final against Atletico after injury to the Chelsea number one.
In a statement on Tuesday night, Atletico said Costa had sought a move to Chelsea but the club had insisted on receiving his full buy-out clause.
"Diego Costa communicated at the end of last season his will to be transferred to Chelsea and today the two clubs have reached an agreement for which the London club must pay the full amount set as the buy-out clause in the contract between the player and the club," the statement said.

Handling and assembly technology
Many industries such as automotive, electronics, metal, machine tools, and medical engineering can be identified as the driving force behind handling and assembly technology. They rely heavily on automated handling and assembly processes that in turn contribute to streamlining high quality and accuracy and improving productivity and PSDI times. Developing more intelligent machines by using a larger number of sensors leads to new applications, improved quality assurance, and even more flexible production. At an early stage, SICK recognized the trend towards implementing more intelligence and functionality in the field level, making its sensor technology ideal for meeting the requirements of handling and assembly applications.

More than 100 alumni, faculty, or staff members from the Institute of Optics have started 160 companies over the past 60 years. The event will bring together many of them, or living relatives, for a series of talks and panels.
Two keynote speeches will be given by Jim Wyant, founder of WYKO and 4D Technology, and Susan Houde-Walter, founder of LaserMax. Panel discussions will include "What I wish I had known," "Why start a company," and "Developing, growing, and selling."
TIME, DATE AND PLACE: 1 5 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 13, in Gleason 318/418, University of Rochester River Campus.
ADMISSION: Free and open to the public.
FOR MORE INFORMATION & RSVP: email@example.com or 585-276-8343.
BACKGROUND: Over the past year and a half Duncan Moore, vice provost for entrepreneurship and Rudolf and Hilda Kingslake professor of optical engineering, and his colleague, Susanna Virgilio, have been tracking down and connecting with alumni, faculty, or staff members from the Institute of Optics who have started their own companies. They have identified 120 founders of approximately 160 companies. About a third of these companies were founded or are located in Rochester, others span the US, and some are located internationally one in Japan and several in India.
Moore explained that some of the founders started several companies, some started companies outside of the optics industry, while others left a firm they thought they would stay with for the rest of their life to risk everything by starting their own company. All of them have different reasons for starting a company, but they share many influencing factors, including people and experiences at the University of Rochester. For example, many refer to Bob Hopkins, former director of the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics and a University alumnus, as an influence.
The gathering will also allow these alumni to come back and see what has developed at the University of Rochester. Moore notes that the University has grown over the past 60 years, offering exciting options to optical students, especially to those who want to explore entrepreneurial paths more. Current optics students and students interested in entrepreneurship will have a chance to meet and hear stories from these experienced entrepreneurs.

NEW YORK—Bowing to pressure from PETA and other activist groups to abandon animal testing, the Revlon Corporation announced Tuesday that, effective immediately, all new products will be tested on plant life.
"Before any Revlon product is placed in the hands of U.S. consumers, I can assure you that it will have been thoroughly safety-tested on a wide range of flora," said Angelique Christopher, a spokesperson for the cosmetics giant. "No lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, concealer, foundation, mascara, nail polish or makeup remover will hit store shelves without first being put through a rigorous battery of on-plant tests."
Christopher concluded her remarks by pouring a bottle of Revlon Intense Therapy nail conditioner on a fern.
Under the new program, the mice, rabbits, pigs and monkeys that for decades were a staple of product-testing will be replaced with poinsettias, African violets, philodendrons and cacti.
"To determine whether our new Revlon SureHold hair spray is safe for human use, we will take a rhododendron, remove it from its natural soil-based environment, and strap it into a leather restraining harness," Revlon researcher Warren Gilbride said. "The plant's leaves will then be scraped raw and soaked in SureHold, and the spray will be injected into its stem and poured into its flowers. The effect of this treatment on the overall health and well-being of the plant will be meticulously recorded, and the product's likely effect on humans will be extrapolated from the results."
Added Gilbride: "A plant's stamen is remarkably similar to the human eye."
With Tuesday's announcement, Revlon joins a growing list of corporations turning to plants as an alternative to animal testing. For years, Bristol-Myers Squibb has tried out its new drugs on philodendrons. Since May 1998, Benjamin Moore has tested for toxicity in its paints by placing fume-filled gas masks over English ivys. And just last week, the Chrysler Corporation announced it would begin using geraniums in crash tests.

Many days when I am sitting at my desk charged with thinking about suspension bills, my mind wanders to other things. Why does my family own so many washcloths shaped like farm animals? Am I too old to wear a shirt fashioned from synthetic feathers? What should I do with all this leftover salmon?
The last question vexes me often, as I am always long on lovely, expensive salmon, due to the incipient pescetarian's love of the fish. The bottom line is that no matter how delicious any fish recipe is, its re-heated version is usually not that great.
Enter Salmon Kedgeree. This is about as weeknight friendly as a recipe can get, because it involves left over protein, spices and stuff that you probably have laying around (and ingredients that you can skip and not be worse for the wear), and one pot, unless you are making fresh rice, which I did.
Here is the drill: get home, say hello to whomever happens to be waiting for you, and mix up a gin rickey while you put up some rice. (deensiebat wants you to use long grain; I chose basmati.) Then you move in a linear fashion along with the recipe, chopping up your onion, garlic and ginger while your mustard seeds pop, and grabbing the various other things it calls for, too.
If you don't have turmeric, or cilantro, you will survive. I think even a cook strangely remiss in garlic ownership can make this dish, the only thing you really cannot live without are the mustard seeds, which give this dish its special nutty flavor, and obviously the curry paste.
If you have a curry paste you like, go ahead and use it, but making your own is fast and simple and may yield a better result, as will making sure your rice has some moisture left, otherwise the only thing that can really go wrong with this dish might, which is that it can be a tad dry (add a little broth if needed).
There are so many flavors at work here, and given the match of a healthy blast of salmon, this may be your perfect Monday night meal. Or you can have it for breakfast, as is apparently a tradition in England, even though the dish, which always consists of flaked fish, originates in India. Best case scenario: make it on Tuesday. That way you can eat it while watching Glee.

SULTAN — The city of Sultan is hosting its fourth annual Safety Fair at the Downtown River Park on Saturday.
Mayor Carolyn Eslick said the event is made possible in part through a state Justice Assistant Grant and the efforts of the participating agencies.
"As Mayor, I'm proud to be part of an event that teaches our children to be safe and have fun at the same time." Eslick said in a statement.
The goal of the Safety Fair is for children and adults to have fun while learning about hazards and steps they can take to protect themselves and their families.
The fair is to be held from noon to 4 p.m. It is free and everyone is welcome.
This year's event promises several new activities, such as a 911 practice telephone and a simulated "smoke house" that will teach children and adults how to escape a smoke-filled house.
Snohomish County Search and Rescue will bring the rescue hovercraft and and the search and rescue helicopter to the park. The helicopter is to arrive at 1 p.m.
McGruff, the crime-fighting dog mascot, will be there, along with information on gun safety; child ID cards and fingerprinting; fire department safety displays; bicycle registration, an inspection and safety rodeo; and tours of the Department of Emergency Management command vehicle.
The annual event is sponsored by the city, Snohomish County Fire District 5, Sheriff's Office, Search and Rescue, Washington State Patrol, Sultan School District and Frontier Communications.

Florida State pass rusher Tank Carradine didn't disappoint NFL scouts during today's Pro Day in Cincinnati.
In a display of significant progress since undergoing surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in December, a source said Carradine ran the 40-yard dash between 4.75 and 4.85 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.63 seconds. Prior to his injury, Carradine had run the 40-yard dash in the 4.6 range.
It's been 135 days since Carradine underwent knee surgery.
The Seminoles' standout defensive end-outside linebacker weighed in at 273 pounds.
Although originally scheduled to attend, the Super Bowl champion Ravens weren't among the 11 NFL teams that attended the workout. The workout was attended by the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts, according to a source.
Carradine is regarded as a potential first-round draft pick, and his draft status hinges heavily on the condition of his surgically repaired knee.
Carradine has been working out in Houston with the same physical therapist who oversaw Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's remarkable recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Carradine has visited several teams, including the Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. He also met with the Ravens at the NFL scouting combine.
Projected as candidate to convert to outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense after playing defensive end for the Seminoles, the 6-foot-4, 276-pounder is excited about the Ravens' interest in him and the possibility of perhaps joining a front seven that already includes Pro Bowl outside linebackers Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil.
"I would feel great about it," Carradine told The Baltimore Sun. "I would fit right in with those guys because they're impact players. I can be that guy who has ability and can learn from those guys and bring a lot to the table.
"I like the 3-4 a lot because I'm able to do more, show more. I'm able to stand up. I can see more. I can recognize pass and run better when you stand up. I'm able to be in space, drop in coverage and play inside receivers. I feel real good about the 3-4. I've played in a 4-3, but I can play in a 3-4. I can play either scheme really good."
Carradine was unable to work out at the combine.
He bench pressed 225 pounds 32 times at the Seminoles' Pro Day where he didn't run or do positional drills.
"I can run full speed," Carradine said. "In Indy, I was just starting to run. Now, I'm full-speed. I'm not cutting all the way. I'm still in the process of ACL healing. I'm not cutting all the way. I'm making slight cuts, but I'm taking it up another notch and trying to get back all the way as fast as I can. I'm not rushing, but April 20 is very important. I don't want to do so much where I have a setback, but I want teams to be able to evaluate how I do."
Including the Ravens, Carradine had 17 formal interviews at the combine. That included the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders.
In 11 games last season, Carradine recorded 11 sacks and 80 tackles. He had 16 sacks as a sophomore at Butler County Junior College in Kansas and 16 1/2 sacks in two seasons after transferring to Florida State.
Carradine has the right role models, saying he tries to pattern his game after the Chicago Bears' Julius Peppers and the Cowboys' DeMarcus Ware.
"They're going to get a hard worker, a guy who runs to the ball and is effective against the run and effective against the pass," Carradine said. "I'm always inthe backfield, always chasing the quarterback and making plays on the other side of the ball. I bring a lot to the table. Teams will be very excited and say, 'This is a guy who will be in our system for a long time because he knows how to get things done.'"

Sarah Currie lives in Ottawa, Ontario
I changed jobs this week. On Monday, my first day, when I should have been primarily concerned with learning the office microwave-cleaning rota and orienting myself to a new Xerox print centre, I was a little preoccupied. At 8 pm on Sunday, I found out that my father had fallen, broken his hip, undergone emergency surgery, and was in isolation in a hospital in southwestern Ontario. Details were fuzzy. Hospital staff would not share much with my aunt, my father's sister. He had managed to call her on Sunday morning, 24 hours after his fall, once he had come round after anaesthesia. He needed her to go to his house to make sure my mom was okay. My mom wasn't answering the phone.
Unanswered phone calls are not uncommon at my parents' house. My father is quite hard of hearing, after spending 37 years as an infantry officer. My mother tends not to answer the phone because she is self-conscious. She has a severe cognitive disability ...continue reading

Q: What is the difference between a retention pond and detention pond?
Peter – Harrison, AR
A: A retention pond holds a specific amount of water indefinitely. The pond is designed to have drainage leading to another location to keep the pond from overflowing during heavy rains, but otherwise the pond is intended to always be full. You'll frequently see these types of ponds in commercial properties or subdivisions, often with decorative fountains in the center.
A detention pond, or "dry pond," is a low-lying area that temporarily holds water until the water drains to another location. It is not filled with water all the time. A detention pond is generally used for flood control when large amounts of rain and storm water runoff could cause flash flooding if not dealt with properly.
Poor maintenance of either type of pond can create unpleasant odors, nuisance insects, algae blooms, and an unkempt area. Due to the nature of runoff having exceptional amounts of nutrients, using natural products such as Pond Logic® Eco Boost™ or Pond Logic® Muck Away™ can help control these flash floods of nutrients.

Jon and Kate Gosselin's marriage is over according to Kate's brother, Kevin Krieder. Kevin says in an explosive new interview with RadarOnline that Kate shows more interest in her fame as a TV personality, speaker and author than she does as a mother, her brother and sister-in-law.
The 32-year-old brother of the reality TV mom, said that his sister has a selfish agenda focused more on boosting her career than her family. He said that the show's depiction of Kate as a do-it-all mother who cooks and cleans is "all for the cameras," and the reality TV couple's claim that they are raising their family all by themselves is a "snow job."
Krieder also claims that Jon fears his wife of nearly 10 years was having an affair with her married bodyguard, Steve Neild, as we reported earlier. (Kate confessed she and Jon might split in a new interview with People, in the same interview she says she is "horrified" by any allegations suggesting she and Neild are romantically involved; TLC refused comment.)
Kevin continues on saying, "Jon came to our door one day and told [Krieder's wife] Jodi he suspects it's Steve the bodyguard, and he feels that he's getting the bad rap," Krieder says. "He feels that Kate's not being faithful either." Nothing nicer than your own family member throwing you under the bus, Kate must feel super about her brother's comments to the press.

Pagosa Springs double murder: hitchhiking couple shot, strangled
It was a story of urban-myth proportions, only it happened near a picturesque town in the southwest corner of Colorado near the New Mexico border.
A young couple hitchhikes through Pagosa Springs, gets picked up by four men who shoot the man and gang rape and strangle the woman.
The story would have as many twists and turns as the San Juan River near which the remains of the two young people were found 32 years ago. Since 1982, there has been a decades-long effort to identify the two young homicide victims.
The case would still only be recounted by elderly folks in and near Pagosa Springs if a retired federal agent George Barter hadn't moved to town five years ago and heard the tale himself.
Most of the following story is recounted based on details from Barter, who was later hired by the Archuleta County Sheriff's Department as an investigator and currently serves as a reserve cold case investigator.
Because of Barter's investigation, the story of the murdered couple is no longer a myth. It's the basis for an ongoing double-homicide investigation, one that has already led to the identification of one of the young victims.
Earlier this year victim's parents, who had been grieving for more than three decades for a son who went AWOL from the U.S. Navy, now knows that child's fate and has brought his remains back to their home in Georgia.
The murder mystery began on Sept. 19, 1982.
On that day a rancher named Frank Chaves was riding his horse when he saw what looked at first like a football in the water.
As he got closer it became clear that what he was looking at was really a foot that was bobbing in water near a sand bar on the south shore of the San Juan River.
The foot was attached to a decaying leg and body. Much of the rest of the body was a skeleton. It was the remains of a woman who had died about a month earlier.
A scrap of paper in her pants pocket had the name of a New Mexico woman with her phone number.
On Oct. 22, 1982, another rancher found the skeletal remains of a man. His bones had been scattered nearby on the north bank of San Juan. The bones had been gnawed on by coyotes.

Man Finds Plastic Noodles in His Package of Noodles [VIDEO]
We take it for granted that what's in the packages we buy at the stores is what's actually in the package when we get it home. A California man recently bought a package of Asian noodles and discovered the packing company included plastic noodles in the bag along with the real thing.
The man made a video of it and posted it on YouTube Friday, which has been seen more than 3 million times, and he demonstrates the difference in the noodles by lighting them with a lighter and the results are undeniable. He says he's going to write the company a letter to the company, something tells me they're probably aware of their little problem by now!
Granted you can't tell the two noodles apart in the video, we all just need to be aware of what we're eating before we eat it!
