Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said an award being named in honor of one of his captains was long overdue.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said an award being named in honor of one of his captains was long overdue.
So, this past week the sheriff announced the William A. Kepley Meritorious Service Award will be given to deputies who go above and beyond their duties. DCSO Capt. William A. "Bill" Kepley was wounded as a patrol deputy in 1996 while responding to a call in the Midway community.
"We felt like he was sort of overlooked at the time," Grice said.
The award stems from an incident in November 1996 when Kepley responded to an elderly woman's house. The sheriff explained a 20-year-old man was attempting to rape the woman. She identified the suspect, Grice said, and Kepley encountered the man, who shot him in his left leg. Kepley was out of work for about 10 months, and a rod was placed in his leg.
"It's truly an honor," Kepley said. "It really is. It's been a while. You try to let stuff like that be bygones, but it's nice when you are appreciated for it."
Kepley, a 1986 graduate of Lexington Senior High School, has been with the sheriff's office for about 20 years. He is the captain of the DCSO Civil Division. Kepley is married to wife Sherry, and they have two grown children, Tiffany and Molly. While Kepley was injured after the shooting, the incident resulted in him being assigned to the civil division, and he was able to work a schedule during the day.
"It's been a blessing — really," Kepley said of the 1996 incident. "I don't think I would be where I am today if it hadn't happened. It put my family at ease."
Not only was Kepley's award announced this past week, Grice also said four deputies would receive the award for two incidents from this year.
Davidson County Detention Center Officers Thurmon Gallimore, Tiffany Stirewalt and David Dillard were on duty in May when a woman attempted suicide in the jail. Grice said the deputies were able to stop the suicide, perform CPR and take her to the hospital. The sheriff said it's his understanding the woman has recovered.
Antonio Jefferson, a DCSO civil deputy, also received the William A. Kepley Meritorious Service Award for stopping and assisting a Winston-Salem Police Department officer earlier this month who was trying to make an arrest. Jefferson, while in his personal vehicle, was on his way to work when he saw a female WSPD officer having a hard time arresting a man. The sheriff said the female officer was arresting the man for possession of cocaine, had one handcuff on him and was struggling. Grice said Jefferson's efforts saved an escape and injury to the Winston-Salem officer.
"We want to recognize he was doing what we expect," the sheriff said. "He was doing what I appreciate and what I expect of my folks."

Prospress necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 93 design presentati da 31 designer.
For thousands of years, the Golden Koi has represented both adversity and prosperity. This oversized Goldfish spends much of its life struggling in a swim upstream. But if a Koi reaches the "Waterfall Gate" at the end of the stream, it is transformed into a powerful "Water Dragon". At least, that's the legend.
Can you craft a clever logo that captures the spirit of prosperity that this legend conveys?
This logo will become the visual figurehead of Prospress.com, a soon to be launched online marketplace. Ideally, the logo should represent prosperity in an aesthetically clever, yet simple manner.
The target audience for your creation are startup mavericks. They have seen more startup logos than they care to remember. This logo should be one they care to remember.
You don't need to include a water dragon or any other element from the introduction. That was just to set the scene. :)
But the design does need:
- Clever factor.
- Simple, yet impactful representation of a Koi or some variation of a Goldfish or fishes.
- "Prospress" in a font that will make even a typography snob feel warm inside.
- Preferably a gold & red colour scheme, in a flavour of your choosing.
- Vector format preferred.
The 'clever' factor of the logo is very important. It's hard to define what the clever feature should be, really anything that gives the viewer an "ah" moment once they see it. Something like the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo, or the a to z arrow/smile in Amazon's logo. Google can show you many more examples of clever logos.
The rest, I leave up to your artistic genius.

This is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull regularly in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I've said on Twitter and elsewhere, often in a state of extreme alcoholic refreshment or severe sleep deprivation, and put them on a t-shirt.
Previously, this was a weekly gag. Summer was a bugger, and made us shift to monthly, and autumn is only looking slightly better. So we're shifting to fortnightly. Until I either run out of dumb ideas or Ariana's brain explodes.
So, at the top and the middle of the month, I'll post the new shirt here, and you can peer at it more at http://www.cafepress.com/electrophonic.
Anyway. I present to you the sentiment I wake up with on most mornings: T-Shirt Of The Fortnight #002: LIFE:
This will go very nicely with our LOVE t-shirt, offered again.
We also now offer, at the same link, a great many perennial "legacy" items, which will be added to on a largely random basis. For instance:
Thank you for your kind attention.

I've always excelled at vision tests. Whenever I've taken one – either at the Department of Motor Vehicles or ophthalmologist - I have always aced the bottom line, reading it out without hesitation.
As I've gotten older, I've found that I need a little help here and there so I have a pair of reading glasses, but I don't use them all the time. In other words, generally my eyesight is pretty good.
So it was with great alarm that I stood inside the polling station last week trying to read the ballot. Are they joking us with that thing? Who wrote that? Ant-Man?
As I stood inside P.S. 97, ballot in hand at my polling station, I looked around at people laboring over their own ballots. The guy next to me held it out at arm's length and squinted. No good. He placed it down flat on the polling table and bent over. Not much better.
Meanwhile, I was having just as much success. Eventually, I spotted the person I was planning to vote for in the main election and was able to muddle through from there. But forget about voting for judges, I had a headache by the time I got to that. And only the Marquis de Sade in a bad mood could have designed the back page with all of its proposed constitutional amendments.
Now, typically, the font size of the text you read in a newspaper or a magazine is somewhere between 10 and 12 points. The text you are reading right now in the Leader/Observer is 10.5 points.
The text on the New York City Election Ballots was six-point font, nearly half the size of the words you are reading right now. And where do you usually find such small print? At the bottom of advertisements, where they print all the stuff they don't want you to read.
Six-point font is what they use when they are legally obligated to tell you that the product they're selling might give you numbness, periodic blindness, explosive diarrhea, and violent fits of coughing. Six-point font is all the stuff a shady lawyer doesn't want you to read before signing.
And even if you manage to read the ballot, it doesn't really get much better. They bring you over to a fancy machine that sucks up your ballot and says thank you. That's it? I don't know about you, but I don't walk away from this process with a whole lot of confidence that my vote was counted.
Our city can't keep the lights on in a park that's being stalked by a rapist. It took the city months of complaints to take care of a house spewing urine and feces out onto a sidewalk 100 feet away from a nursery school. Our country spends millions and millions of dollars and years of programming to develop a website that doesn't work.
Suddenly, we're supposed to expect that this machine can flawlessly read our votes?
This Monday, we all spent time reflecting on the great sacrifices the men and women in our armed forces have made to allow us the freedoms we have. As the old famous poem says, "It is the veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote."
Let's honor their sacrifices by doing a better job with the rights they fought so hard to secure.

Prophecy is a tricky thing. Usually, when we use the term prophetic we mean that someone is challenging structures of sin and oppression. I am not writing about that kind of prophecy. I am referring to those who experience direct visions or voices from God. I know God can and does work in this manner, but my default posture is to be quite wary.
I have experienced several instances of this kind of prophecy in Catholic parishes. At one parish the head of a music group kept changing the music minister's selections during Mass. When challenged, his response was, "I believe in prophecy," meaning apparently that he believed God was telling him to change the music on the spot. St. Paul had a similar problem with unruly members of the assembly in Corinth. "The spirits of the prophet are under the prophet's control," he told them (1 Cor 14:32). Translation: Control yourself and fly right.
I also remember a prophet who channeled Jesus and the Blessed Mother every Wednesday night at a local Catholic church. Her spiritual coin lost a bit of value after she prophesied that half of California would be swallowed up by the ocean. She also told her followers that God wanted them to buy extra groceries for the refugees who would be coming. Some believers actually did buy surplus food.
In this week's first reading, Moses predicts that the Lord will raise up "a prophet like me," whose words the Lord will put into his mouth. If he is an authentic prophet, then Israel is commanded to listen to him. Anyone who does not listen will answer to God personally. But if he is not an authentic prophet, "he shall die," God threatens. In the verse just after this reading, Moses gives only one criterion to determine a true prophet: "If his oracle is not fulfilled…the prophet has spoken it presumptuously" (18:21).
The context of Moses' instruction is a contrast between how Israel comes to know God's will and the Canaanites' methods, including child torture, casting spells and consulting ghosts (vv. 10-11). Instead of these Moses anticipates authentic prophets. We recall with awe and gratitude the ministries of Isaiah, Jeremiah and all the powerful prophetic voices through Israel's history.
Moses' criterion is, however, not terribly helpful in the moment. If someone proclaims God's will, you will know only after the fact (if then) whether he was an authentic prophet. Perhaps this is one reason Deuteronomy seems rather lukewarm on prophets. They are mentioned only one other time, and this as an example of false prophets (13:1-6). It is safe to say that Moses had much more confidence in the Torah than in prophets.
Still, we should not dismiss what Moses anticipates, especially since it directly applies to Jesus. In the Gospel, Jesus enters the synagogue and teaches the people. There he encounters a man with an unclean spirit, which he rebukes: "Quiet! Come out of him!" It immediately and dramatically does so. Twice in this short reading Mark tells us that the people were amazed at what Jesus taught. Mark focuses not on what Jesus said, but rather on his power and authority. The crowd's response to Jesus is: "What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands the unclean spirits and they obey him."
With Jesus the problem of not knowing whether a prophecy will eventually come true or not seems to be solved. Jesus' words cause what they say, and on the spot. He began his preaching with "the kingdom of God is at hand," and immediately we see the kingdom unfold before us.
Prophecy is a tricky thing. Moses knew that, but he assured God's people nonetheless that "a prophet like me will the Lord, your God, raise up." Jesus shows that God is true to his word and then some. For we have One who is far greater than Moses (Heb 3:1-6), someone we should utterly trust, someone whose power makes what he says happen.

Renovated Ben Franklin Museum reopening in US
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia museum dedicated to the city's most famous Founding Father is reopening after nearly two years of renovations.
The new Benjamin Franklin Museum will welcome its first visitors Aug. 24.
The 7,000-square-foot (650-sq. meter) underground facility had opened in 1976 at the downtown site where Franklin's house once stood.
By 2011, many displays and exhibits were broken or dated. The facility closed that fall to undergo a $15 million refurbishment funded by a public-private partnership.
The new museum features artifacts, computer animation and interactive displays. The location also includes a ghost structure outlining the size of Franklin's three-story brick house.
The National Park Service says the museum's official grand opening celebration is scheduled for Sept. 19.

When it comes to CRO and optimization in general, we're constantly thinking about how to grow our numbers and scale the business. Using various techniques and tools, we push forward to acquire more customers and generate more revenue.
So, it's great that businesses want to generate more revenue and grow, but customers don't really care about that. There are many competitors out there selling the same stuff and trying to grab their attention. How do you convince your visitors to invest in you?
If your answer is "we have amazing features" or "we're cheaper than our competitor", allow me to stop you right there. You're doing it wrong.
Research done in the past 35 years shows that emotions "powerfully, predictably, and pervasively influence decision making" ( Lerner et. al. ).
In fact, recently, neuroscientist
FOOTWEAR Sandals Cult 5UW0H
studied individuals who had brain damage in the area that generates emotion. When asked, these people found it difficult to make even simple decisions, such as what to eat (pasta vs. a sandwich).
The research highlights the fact that those who base their marketing on pure logic and reason are doomed to only go so far because they do not understand what truly motivates people's decision making processes –
Preowned Crocodile heels Balmain 2ZKNzECPjd
"Hence, in order to have anything like a complete theory of human rationality, we have to understand what role emotion plays in it." — H. Simon, 1983, Reason in Human Affairs
Marketing, and CRO specifically, is more than just analyzing data and understanding online behavior or leaks in a funnel. It's about understanding people's decision making processes, and catering to emotional needs. Appealing to them on an emotional level and helping them rationalize their decision making process. It is our job as marketers to drive logic where emotion lays.
When we buy something, we don't purchase a "product", a special price or features; we purchase an experience and a better version of ourselves.
The only way to optimize your funnel, increase sign ups, create a better user flow or even a better product is to constantly ask yourself, "What's in it for my customer?" and, "How can I cater to their needs?"
Many brands are trying to convert your customers, which is why before asking people to subscribe to your newsletter list, for example, you must have a clear strategy that shows customers exactly what's in it for them. Why should they choose you over others?
For example, below are two very common emotional triggers that turn visitors into customers:
1. Belonging – One of the most common and well-known strategies for signing people up to a service or a mailing list, for example, is giving people a sense of community and exclusivity. Humans are social creatures who love to feel like part of a group and customers often purchase products in an attempt to feel part of a specific group.

In popular fashion the
Eligio Mens Derbys Sioux d8feokuB
style of clothing, worn by such rock performers as David Bowie and Marc Bolan , was very influential, particularly in the United Kingdom. The designer Elio Fiorucci had a very similar look. His boutique in Milan sold such things as brightly colored rubber boots, plastic daisy sandals, fake fur, and Pop Art -inspired jackets.
During the 1970s a new generation of menswear boutiques sprang up, aiming to change the decor, rituals, and customer base of a traditionally 'difficult' trade. To sell fashionable clothes to a young man at the end of the 1960s was still, in many circles, tantamount to questioning his masculinity. Men's appearance changed more in the 1970s than it had done in a whole century. Many of the fashion designers who revolutionized the male look owed a lot of their innovations to Pierre Cardin: narrow shoulders, tight-fitting lines, no tie, no interfacing, zip-up boiler suits, waisted jackets or tunics, sometimes no shirt. Work clothes supplied inspiration for a less formal style, encouraging designers to look beyond the traditional suit and, for example, adopt a unisex look or investigate the massive supply of second-hand clothes. Sometimes this kind of male dressing-down, often denounced as 'hippie', gained formal recognition as a deliberate look. At certain other times, as part of a retro movement, designers introduced a revival of 1930s elegance. The unearthing of old military clothing, preferably khaki and from the United States; English-style shoes; Oxford shirts; immaculate T-shirts; tweed jackets with padded shoulders; brightly colored V-neck sweaters; cashmere-printed scarves draped around the neck all imposed a certain uniformity on the casual beatnik look of the male wardrobe at the end of the 1970s.
Also significant are the developments in Italian fashion that happened during the period. In the course of the 1970s, as a result of its ready-to-wear industry,
confirmed its status as second only to Paris as a center of international fashion. The 'alta moda' preferred Rome, the base of the couturiers
, and
tassel detail sandals Black Sanayi 313 HpI3ztcG
. Capitalizing on the dominant trend of anti-fashion Italy offered a glamor that had nothing to do with the dictates of Parisian haute couture. While profiting from a clearly defined style, Italian fashion was luxurious and easy to wear. The two most influential Italian fashion designers of the time were probably Perforatedstar lowtop leather trainers Givenchy GVhURGRd
and Mens Launch 4 Gymnastics Shoes Brooks XH5RyOuni
. Giorgio Armani produced his first collection for women in 1975. From the outset, the line was dynamic, urban, and understated, androgynous in inspiration. Armani offered a restrained style that greatly appealed to the increasing population of women who now had access to the world of work and occupied progressively more senior positions within it. This was only the beginning of a tremendous career, which came to fruition in 1981 when Emporio Armani was launched. In 1957 Mens Zoom Live Ii Multisport Indoor Shoes Nike b3b4Ugwl9n
opened the menswear boutique Hitman in Milan. A man of taste and discernment, in 1976 he presented his first collection for women. Two years later, he launched his first perfume. In linking the career of a successful industrialist with that of a high-quality designer, Cerruti occupied a unique position in Italian ready-to-wear.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 6, 2007) - Despite the cold temperatures at Metro-Kiwanis Park, the Buccaneer bats were on fire Friday afternoon as they combined for 23 runs on 22 hits, including seven home runs en route to a key series sweep over conference foe Belmont. The Bucs belted a school record five home runs in a 10-2 rout over
With temperatures in the high-30's/low-40's, the Bucs did not let the weather affect their play as they improved to 18-20, 5-3 in the A-Sun with the sweep.
The Bucs put the pedal to the metal early by jumping out to a 4-0 in game one, thanks to three-run homer by junior Briana Knight (Brier, Wash.) in the first inning. Knight's homer marked her first of the season and second of her career.
The softball continued to fly out of the park as Cat Zyskowski (
The Bruins scored their second run in the fifth inning when Heather Grossnickle sent one over the left field fence, but Vercoe forced Meghan Pipkin to ground out to short for the final out of the game. The sophomore hurler allowed two runs (one earned) and scattered three hits as she picked up her ninth win of the season. ETSU's first four batters combined to go 6-for-11 (.545) with two home runs, five RBI and seven runs scored in game one.
The fun continued for ETSU in game two as they pushed runs across the plate in all four innings, and knocked off
It did not take ETSU long to tie up the game as Gaynord led off the bottom half of the inning with a home run to right-center, marking her second of the day. Amanda Haverman (
After plating three more runs in the second, the Bucs opened the game up with a five-run third. Cheniece Cason (
Darci Gilbert (
Just like in game one, the top of ETSU's order produced nicely in the nightcap as the first five Buc batters went 12-for-19 with a triple, two home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored. As a team, ETSU hit .431 (22-51) on Friday, and Gaynord finished a perfect six-of-six.
The Bucs will look to keep their offense rolling as they take on Lipscomb Saturday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m., at

County libraries celebrate National Libraries Week
ARENAC COUNTY — The Arenac-Iosco District Library (AIDL), which has branches in Standish, Omer and AuGres, is celebrating National Libraries Week April 13-19 and inviting county residents to join in the fun.
Stephanie Olson, District Director for the AIDL, said National Libraries Week is a time to "recognize that public libraries are the last vestiges of free speech besides the media.
"You pay taxes to support the library," Olson said, but added that services offered at libraries are free. "You don't have to pay to come in to use the Internet. You don't have to buy the books. … There's just all these things you'd have to pay for at other places."
And to celebrate the services of public libraries, the Friends of the Mary Johnston Memorial Library, the AIDL branch library in Standish, are going to give library-users a chance to win free gifts.
"They (Friends of MJML) are doing drawings each day. … The drawings will be based on if you check out a book [that day]," Olson said, adding that to check out a book, clients must first have a library card. Each day of the week will produce one winner, and winners will receive a $25 gift card to Barnes & Nobles bookstores purchased by the Friends.
Olson said National Libraries Week may also include an open house at any or all of the branch libraries: MJML, the AuGres Community Library, and the Omer Library.
"If we have an open house, we (AIDL) can show them (library users) how to request their books online," Olson said, adding that the District can also expose uses to new features of the branch libraries, including e-mail notifications of requested books, e-mail warnings of when the books are approaching due date, and Web site features.
The Web site, www.ioscoarenaclibrary.org, is undergoing some new modifications itself as the District is adding what Olson called "Really Simple Syndication," which will alert readers of new books that will be hitting the shelves in District libraries.
"We do an end of the month new book list for non-fiction and fiction adult books. … [Really Simple Syndication] will be for kids books too," Olson said. "Lists of new books can be broken down and narrowed down. … We're hoping it'll make it much easier to do things."
Olson said changing checkout period is also back, and by popular demand.
"We're going to be changing it to three weeks from two weeks," Olson said, adding that many District library clients voiced concern about not being able to get books back on time due to their busy schedules.
But before April 13-19, Olson said the District may more improvements.
"Maybe by National Library Week, we'll have added some new features," she said.
For more information on National Library Week and what's going on at local branches, visit www.ioscoarenaclibrary.com or call 989-362-2651.

STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office apprehended three men suspected of opening fire on a central Stockton home early Tuesday, authorities said.
STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office apprehended three men suspected of opening fire on a central Stockton home early Tuesday, authorities said.
The drive-by shooting occurred about 2 a.m. in the 1400 block of North F Street, deputies said. A maroon Nissan Altima traveling east on East Francis Street drove slowly past the residence and someone inside the vehicle fired two shots, striking two windows on the north side of the home, authorities said.
Deputies attempted to stop the car moments later when they located it near North Sierra Lane and John Street, but the driver of the Altima refused to stop, the Sheriff's Office said. A 2.2-mile pursuit ended when the Altima became disabled on the railroad tracks near North B Street, officials said. During the pursuit, the suspects threw a .40-caliber firearm with an extended magazine out of the vehicle, authorities said.
The suspects, identified by the Sheriff's Office as Jaime Toscano, 29, Anthony Morones, 32, and Emmanuel Jessop, 27, attempted to flee on foot, deputies said. All three were taken into custody, authorities said. Inside the vehicle, deputies found a large quantity of marijuana, officials said.
Toscano, Morones and Jessop were arrested on suspicion of shooting at a dwelling, possession of a loaded firearm, shooting a firearm from a vehicle, possession of a large-capacity magazine, evading a peace officer, resisting arrest, drug possession and drug sales, authorities said.
STOCKTON - A Crime Stoppers tip led police to a suspected killer Wednesday, authorities said.
Community Response Team officers were searching for Brian Oth, 19, shortly before noon when they spotted him on foot near East Bianchi Road and Greensboro Way, authorities said. Officers approached Oth and ordered him to put his hands up. When he refused to comply, a police dog was deployed, officers said.
The dog took Oth to the ground and officers took him into custody, police said. Oth, who was found in possession of a stolen firearm, was arrested on suspicion of homicide, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Police Department.
Oth was the last outstanding suspect wanted in connection with the death of Marshawn Black, 22, who was shot and killed Nov. 30 at an apartment complex in the 6400 block of North West Lane, police said. Sister and brother Sarim Chabb, 32, and Sarth Chab, 27, pleaded not guilty to Black's murder last month in San Joaquin County Superior Court.
Oth was located a day after police released a photograph of him and announced that a $1 million warrant had been issued for his arrest.

I want you to hum along with me to the tune of the theme song from Gilligan's Island:
"A Three Hour Class!! A Three Hour Class!!"
Just how much can one get done in "A THREE HOUR CLASS?!" ((A Three Hour Class!!))
Amazingly, quite a bit!
Boxy Stars is one of those that goes together so quickly and looks so different depending on what fabrics and values you have chosen to go where. I loved it done in 30s fabrics, I loved seeing the batik variations, and the one that was Christmas themed…and the ones that were joint projects with the blocks being destined for Quilts of Valor ---
Some only got one block done, but many parts well on the way for more --- some got two or three blocks done, and all will be fabulous!
Take a look at what we got up too in our "THREE HOUR CLASS!! our THREE HOUR CLASS!"
And the fun continues! We've still got Friday, Saturday and Sunday yet to go ----
I think I'm going to need a nap! :cD

Randy Travis was released from a Texas hospital Wednesday after spending more than three weeks in treatment for congestive heart failure and suffering a stroke.
The 54-year-old country singer departed the Heart Hospital at Baylor Plano and entered a physical therapy facility, his publicist said.
"Thanks to all the fans and friends for your continued prayers and support as Randy continues on the road to recovery," his fiancé Mary Davis said in a statement.
Travis was hospitalized July 7 at Baylor Medical Center in McKinney, Texas, with congestive heart failure related to presumptive viral cardiomyopathy, a condition in which a virus attacks the heart muscle and causes the heart to beat slowly or even stop. He suffered a stroke and underwent surgery July 10.

Women's Health
Are Birth Control Pills Safe for My Age?
I am a 43 yr old woman with a family history of heart disease and in good general health. I felt like I was having perimenopausal symptoms (spotting between periods, irritability, night sweats), so I asked my gynecologist to prescribe birth control pills. I took them for 2 months and was still having spotting, so he changed my script.
How safe is the pill in a woman my age and how long should I stay on them? I have noticed my mood and night sweats have improved, but my breasts are more tender/sore. I am concerned about the risk for heart disease as well as breast cancer.
Thank you for your information.
In general we consider that the use of oral contraceptives is safe for women up until menopause as long as the woman is not smoking, has normal blood pressure and no underlying significant medical issues. The research studies regarding breast cancer indicate that oral contraceptives do not seem to increase the lifetime chance of getting breast cancer. However, women who are currently on oral contraceptives have breast cancer diagnosed more often. This may be because they have more frequent exams or because the cancer is already there and the pills make it grow faster. Breast tenderness is a normal side effect of pills. Some studies show that there is a slightly higher risk of heart attack in women using pills as they age. The risk of having a heart attack for a reproductive age woman over 35 years of age is about 10 per 10,000 women; it may increase to 40 per 10,000 in women using oral contraceptives in this age range. Hypertension and smoking add significant more risk than pills.

Budget ballot recount to be held in LitchfieldBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
March 18. 2013 10:21PM
LITCHFIELD - An election recount will be conducted today to verify the results of Warrant Article 4 on last week's town ballot.
The warrant article, which requested voters approve a town operating budget of $5,045,145, was rejected by a vote of 601-597. Because the budget failed, a default budget of $4,974,847 was implemented.
However, at least 10 registered voters requested a recount on the warrant article, according to a posting on the town's Facebook page. The town clerk's office will be closed today to allow for the election recount.
"We are looking for registered voters interested in volunteering in the recount," the post said, asking individuals to contact Town Clerk Terri Briand at 424-4045, ext. 244., to volunteer.

Staples White Office Chair. Online furniture shopping is a very important thing that can be done to beautify your house with new furnishings. The features of online furniture shopping have certainly nailed the actual fact that is superior and supreme set alongside the common furniture shopping from a physical store. Choosing the right wood can be an art alone, and fashioning a stylish furniture piece using traditional carpentry bones that is really as strong and strong as you need it to be is an indicator of your master-craftsman. This is actually the quality only achievable with handmade furniture, irrespective of where it is made.
Few learn how to buy furniture properly. You should invest some time online, and make a few decisions from the furniture websites you see. Then go to the showrooms offering your alternatives and try the furniture out. That's how to buy furniture. Furniture, especially solid wood furniture, plays an essential role in emanating a pleasurable and peaceful atmosphere in your house. However, while every person wants to own solid wood furniture to deck up their homes, few are aware in what furniture to buy.

Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing has launched the new "Screw Conveyor Components & Design Manual Version 2.20." This new manual allows users to conveniently calculate the type of industrial screw conveyor to best suit their specific needs.
"Partnering with our customers by allowing them a tool to design their own system results in a collaborative effort and a better final product," said Jeff Baxter, director of operations at Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing.
By using the following steps, in conjunction with the coordinating tables and graphs, manual users will be able to estimate the specifications for a horizontal screw conveyor:
• Establish conveying requirements
• Identify the material and the corresponding material code
• Determine conveying capacity, conveyor size, and speed
• Calculate required horsepower, select motor size
• Determine the recommended size of components
• Check torsional ratings of components
• Check deflection, thermal expansion, and abrasion
After the initial screw conveyor design is completed, Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing can then provide a more thorough design, including stress analysis, etc., that are beyond the scope of this engineering section. Final specifications should be established with the assistance of Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing's engineering department. Customers who do not wish to perform these calculations will still have the option of simply filling out a spec sheet and the design will be completed for them.

Blessed be God, who lives for ever. – 8th June 2013
Tobit called his son Tobiah and said to him,
"Son, see to it that you give what is due to the man
who made the journey with you; give him a bonus too."
So he called Raphael and said,
"Take as your wages half of all that you have brought back,
and go in peace."
Raphael called the two men aside privately and said to them:
"Thank God! Give him the praise and the glory.
Before all the living,
acknowledge the many good things he has done for you,
by blessing and extolling his name in song.
Honor and proclaim God's deeds,
and do not be slack in praising him.
A king's secret it is prudent to keep,
but the works of God are to be declared and made known.
Praise them with due honor.
Do good, and evil will not find its way to you.
Prayer and fasting are good,
but better than either is almsgiving accompanied by righteousness.
A little with righteousness is better than abundance with wickedness.
It is better to give alms than to store up gold;
for almsgiving saves one from death and expiates every sin.
Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life;
but those habitually guilty of sin are their own worst enemies.
"I will now tell you the whole truth;
I will conceal nothing at all from you.
I have already said to you,
'A king's secret it is prudent to keep,
but the works of God are to be made known with due honor.'
I can now tell you that when you, Tobit, and Sarah prayed,
it was I who presented and read the record of your prayer
before the Glory of the Lord;
and I did the same thing when you used to bury the dead.
When you did not hesitate to get up
and leave your dinner in order to go and bury the dead,
I was sent to put you to the test.
At the same time, however,
God commissioned me to heal you and your daughter-in-law Sarah.
I am Raphael, one of the seven angels
who enter and serve before the Glory of the Lord."
"So now get up from the ground and praise God.
Behold, I am about to ascend to him who sent me;
write down all these things that have happened to you."
Responsorial Psalm Tb 13:2, 6efgh, 7, 8
R. (1b) Blessed be God, who lives for ever.
He scourges and then has mercy;
he casts down to the depths of the nether world,
and he brings up from the great abyss.
No one can escape his hand.
R. Blessed be God, who lives for ever.
So now consider what he has done for you,
and praise him with full voice.
Bless the Lord of righteousness,
and exalt the King of ages.
R. Blessed be God, who lives for ever.
In the land of my exile I praise him
and show his power and majesty to a sinful nation.
R. Blessed be God, who lives for ever.
Bless the Lord, all you his chosen ones,
and may all of you praise his majesty.
Celebrate days of gladness, and give him praise.
R. Blessed be God, who lives for ever.
Gospel Lk 2:41-51
Each year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover,
and when he was twelve years old,
they went up according to festival custom.
After they had completed its days, as they were returning,
the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem,
but his parents did not know it.
Thinking that he was in the caravan,
they journeyed for a day
and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
but not finding him,
they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions,
and all who heard him were astounded
at his understanding and his answers.
When his parents saw him,
they were astonished,
and his mother said to him,
"Son, why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety."
And he said to them,
"Why were you looking for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
But they did not understand what he said to them.
He went down with them and came to Nazareth,
and was obedient to them;
and his mother kept all these things in her heart.

Chuck Baldwin tells it straight
Oh, boy, does he ever. If one reads this article and still insists on voting for Romney as the "lessor of two evils", or whatever, then one has the comprehension capacity of a turnip.
An excerpt:
"As I have noted in previous columns, the differences between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are miniscule on virtually every salient issue. They both supported TARP; they both supported Obama's economic stimulus package; they both supported so-called assault weapons bans and other gun control measures; Obama has an "F" rating from Gun Owners of America, while Romney has a "D-" rating from GOA; neither man supports a balanced budget; neither man opposes foreign aid; they both supported the bailout of the auto industry; they both have a track record of being big spenders; they both fully support the Federal Reserve; they both oppose a full audit of the Fed; they are both supporters of universal health care; both men are showered with campaign contributions from Wall Street; neither of them wants to eliminate the IRS or the direct income tax; both men are on record as saying the TSA is doing a "great job"; they both supported the NDAA, including the indefinite detention of American citizens without due process of law; they both supported the renewal of the Patriot Act; they both believe that the President has "executive power" to assassinate and kill; both support the "free trade" agenda of the global elite; they are both soft on illegal immigration; they both support NAFTA and CAFTA; they both have a history of appointing liberal judges; they both believe the President has the authority to take the nation to war without the approval of Congress; and neither of them has any qualms about running up more public debt to the already gargantuan debt of 16 trillion dollars."

Winners include: Cheryl Orr, Diana Boyd, Ann Marie Weber, Sheila Lamirand, Karlene Smith, JoAnn Blowers, Richard Ekstrom, Jim Frans, Mary Kay Berger, Sandra Hubble, Sara Brandstrom, Jon Orhanen and Eddie Lancour.
• Fran Weber, leading scorer for the Emeralds as they completed a 4-4 record this year, was named as a first team end on the All-Great Lakes conference football squad last week. Weber was also the leading pass receiver, and handled the extra point kicking chores for the Emeralds. Tackle Mike Sheppard, guard Rich Hoholik and halfback Murray Patz were all named to the second team, while center Paul Harris received honorable mention.
• Senior halfback Kenny Blowers was the leading ground-gainer for the Manistique Emeralds this year, statistics compiled by student manager John Wood revealed this week. Blowers gained 455 yards in 77 attempts for a 5.91 yard average, and score one touchdown.
• Coach Rudie Brandstrom's Emerald cagers will open a 16-game basketball season next Friday night. Hopes are high that the locals will be a strong contender for league honors this year, as eight lettermen return from the squad that posted a 7-6 conference mark last season, and was 10-8 for the season. Brandstrom will put a tall squad on the floor, as nine members of the 13-man varsity squad measure six feet or more.

• Manistique will have a hockey and skating rink this winter, or at least that was the conclusion at the meeting of the County Board of Commissioners last Monday night. Elvin Hepker, speaking before the board, reaffirmed the City of Manistique's intention to pay an equal share of the costs of installation of water lines to the County Fair Building. He stated he had assurance from City Manager Bob Risik that this was still the case. The confusion over funding the project started when the original location of the Fair building was moved from in back of the county Medical care Facility to a spot farther back on the lot. This put the expenses of running water and sewer lines to the building considerably higher than had been originally estimated.
• "I'm pretty elated," admits Donald Ott of Intake Park Rd. Ott, who is personnel supervisor at Inland Lime and Stone, won $15,000 in the Michigame lottery last Friday. "It didn't have much impact right then it was like it's unreal," said his wife Lois. The couple won $50 in the lottery "long ago" and got a Michigame subscription form at that time. Ott decided to use the form with part of his social security number for luck. They won nothing that year, so the next year Lois decided to try part of her social security number. That decision was worth $15,000.
• The first perfect score of 300 bowled in the 18-year history of Lakeview Lanes was recorded last Thursday by Terry Chartier. Chartier, who was bowling for the Maytag team in his first night of league action, bowled a 685 series for the night, while his team finished with 2,897. The last perfect game in Manistique came in 1940 by Fran Kasun at the Elks Club.

Federal beer waste regulations could have cost NH brewers millions
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
Smuttynose Brewing Co.'s new brewhouse on Towle Farm Road in Hampton features new equipment imported from Germany. (COURTESY)
Proposed federal regulations that threw a multimillion dollar scare into New Hampshire's growing brewing industry appear to be on the verge of being scuttled by the federal Food and Drug Administration.
Brewers get rid of grain left over in the brewing process by selling it or giving it to farmers with dairy cows and beef cattle. The FDA is proposing new food safety rules for animal grains and would have included the spent brewing grains in those rules.
Critics said the FDA was pushing the concept that "good enough for humans is not good enough for a cow" into federal regulations.
Bill Herlicka of White Birch Brewing Co., of Hooksett, president of the Granite State Brewers Association, said the proposal would put millions of dollars worth of grain out of the reach of farmers and resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in added expense for brewers to get rid of the waste from the brewing process.
"This practice of donating spent brewers' grains has been going on for the past 20-plus years with no ill health effects reported by farmers or consumers," Herlicka said.
The result of the federal tinkering, brewers claimed, would have been higher costs for grain disposal, which would trickle down to consumer prices. A big casualty would be the foods which define casual American cuisine — cheese, burgers, beer and ice-cream.
Bovine diets would suffer as well.
"The grains are malted and then boiled with water to draw off the sugar and that is what is fermented," said Chris Thorne, a vice president with the Beer Institute, an industry trade association. "The spent grain is a very nutritional and highly valued seed product ... the grains have all the fibers, essential oils and proteins that you want to feed to your animals."
The industry response has the feds waving a white flag.
Michael Taylor, the FDA's deputy commissioner for Foods and Veterinary Medicine, said the agency heard worried brewers from New Hampshire and elsewhere complain that the requirements would increase the cost of doing business but would not improve food safety.
"That, of course, would not make common sense," Taylor said in an official blog posting this week. "We're not going to do it."
New Hampshire brewers, who were battling the proposed rule through trade associations, say it's the right decision.
"This outcome accentuates the importance of self-advocacy and calm, clear communication," said J.T. Thompson, a spokesman for Smuttynose Brewing of Hampton.
Thompson said advocacy in Washington by New Hampshire's U.S. Senators, Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, helped change the course of bureaucratic regulation. "We appreciate their willingness to correct (the rule) so that we can keep working with our farmers and feeding cows."
The rule-making was initiated last October under the influence of the federal Food Safety Modernization Act, a law signed by President Obama in January 2011. The law, the first change in food safety laws since 1938, was touted as shifting the focus of FDA enforcement from responding to incidents of food contamination to preventing them.
New Hampshire's small breweries stress the quality of their products, which are often more expensive to make than those sold by national brewers. Competition would have meant a competitive disadvantage.
Many of New Hampshire's wide assortment of micro- and nano-breweries often just donate the grain to farms, saving the expense of storing or shipping it elsewhere. Typically, it is loaded in a trailer or storage container, and the farmers come and haul it away.
Herlicka and other brewers were initially worried that their choices would come down to drying and packaging spent grain or hiring commercial haulers to dispose of it. Both that would have been expensive because brewing plants are not set up to package grain, and rubbish haulers receive hefty cartage and tipping fees.
Chris Thorne, a vice president with the Brewing Institute, an industry trade group, said the actual proposed rule included no requirement for drying and packaging, but would add millions in additional costs, depending on how much grain a company uses.
Making beer takes a lot of grain.
Thompson said each of the 1,000 batches of beer Smuttynose brewed last year used 2,500 to 3,000 pounds of dry grain.
"At the very least, we'd have to find a place to put all that," Thompson said. "That's a lot to deal with — that's a couple of tractor-trailer loads a week."
Right now, much of the spent grain from Smuttynose ends up at a Chichester farm that raises beef cattle. A single farmer handles whatever the brewery can provide.
Smuttynose recently moved into a new facility in Hampton that was designed to push spent grain into trailers that the farmers hauled away. If the government had gone forward with the new rules, it would have been disruptive as well as expensive.
"We'd either need (a huge) compost pile or to make arrangements to dump hundreds of thousands, if not millions of pounds of spent grain, into landfills," Thompson said. "It's a waste."
The National Craft Brewers Association, which represents 2,000 brewers that make products in relatively small batches, said the FDA was trying to solve a problem that doesn't exists.
Putnam, the FDA spokeswoman, said the agency will have new draft regulations out by summer.
"We anticipated some of these issues when we requested comment on the proposed rule and are already reviewing the extensive input received from brewers and others," Putnam said. "We are confident we will find a common-sense solution."
Beer brewing has been a growth business in New Hampshire, and now ranges from the huge Anheuser-Busch brewery in Merrimack to corner nano-brewers that have turned beer-making back into a mom-and-pop business, all of which would be hit by the added costs, and none of which is quite understood why.
"I was at a craft brewers conference in Denver, and this was a big topic of conversation," Thompson said. "I never heard anyone say 'There was that one time where a whole boatload of cattle died' — cows are designed to digest complex fiber like that; that's what cows are designed to consume."

Opposition to tar sands oil grows in North CountryBy SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Special to the Union Leader
April 23. 2013 11:59PM
RANDOLPH - Days after spearheading a Stop the Toxic Tar Sands event in Randolph, Corry Hughes of Jefferson was feeling optimistic.
Not only did she think the speakers at the potluck picnic, held Saturday at the Durand Lake Recreational Area, made a persuasive case for not allowing the transportation of diluted bitumen oil through the local pipeline, but she had just received Gov. Maggie Hassan's statement on the matter.
Hassan called for the State Department to do a thorough environmental and permitting process before allowing the flow of tar sands oil in the pipelines owned by the Portland Pipe Line Corporation. In a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Hassan asked him to protect the state's environment and economy.
"The state of New Hampshire has limited authority over pipelines that cross state borders and therefore relies heavily on federal review and regulation. It also receives little or no benefit from their presence in the state. However, should anything go wrong with such a pipeline - a leak or worse - New Hampshire's taxpayers bear the responsibility and cost of cleanup," Hassan wrote.
"Moreover, the residents of the five towns through which the decades-old pipeline crosses - Lancaster, Jefferson, Randolph, Gorham and Shelburne - are likely to suffer the most direct impact of any spill or leak. It is also likely that our rivers and streams would bear the brunt of the environmental impact of a release, threatening the vital tourism industry and natural resources on which the entire state relies."
"I'm thrilled," Hughes said. "The message is getting out."
She got involved in the effort, which includes environmental activists and residents of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, after researching tar sands. "The more I read, the more I said, this is not a good idea."
The Portland Pipe Line Corporation has said it has no immediate plans to transport Western Canadian crude.
"While we do not have an active project to reverse the flow in either of our pipelines, if there is a demand for doing so in the future, we will consider it," the company said in a statement late last year.
"However, please be assured that if we ever embark on a major project to change the current use or flow direction of our pipeline system, we will engage in open discussions with our pipeline neighbors, the public and the appropriate regulatory bodies to explain our plans and, where required, to obtain necessary approvals well in advance."
The 236-mile pipeline runs through the three northern New England states and the province of Quebec.

James Riley
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 150
Born: 10/27/1982
Age: 30
Hometown: Colorado Springs, CO
Previous Club: Chivas USA
Acquired from Chivas USA on February 14, 2013 in exchange for a 2015 second round Supplement Draft pick.
D.C. United today announced that the club has acquired defender James Riley from Chivas USA in exchange for a 2015 second round Supplemental Draft pick. Riley, who tied goalkeeper Dan Kennedy for most minutes played (2,880) last year at Chivas USA (32 games played/games started), will join the Black-and-Red immediately in Lake Mary, Fla.
"We are excited to be adding a quality defender in James," said D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper. "James has over 200 games played in MLS, and his experience will help solidify our backline."
Although, I will miss SoCal incredibly. I am excited for the next chapter. On a flight now leaving LA to join DC United!— James Riley (@JamesRiley7) February 14, 2013
Riley, a Colorado Springs, Colo., native, was drafted by the New England Revolution as the 21st overall pick in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft. In his first year as a professional with New England, he appeared in 23 games (12 starts) and tallied one goal and three assists. Since then, Riley has played with the San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC and Chivas USA, where he was a regular for all three clubs. During his time with Sounders FC, Riley helped lead the team to three consecutive Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups. Riley has played over 2,000 minutes every year since 2007. Over his eight-year MLS career, Riley has logged 17,401 minutes, with two goals and 16 assists to his name.

Charles Krauthammer takes a clear-eyed look at the issue of amnesty for Sunni insurgents. Krauthammer is spot-on — Sunni elements fighting against the coalition forces should receive amnesty in exchange for giving up their fight, if that's what the elected government of Iraq decides will best promote national reconciliation and reduce the bloodshed. The amnesty would not extend to al-Qaeda which, by definition, cannot be part of any national reconciliation.
Krauthammer is also on the mark when he notes the hypocrisy of certain Democrats. On the one hand, they vote for troop withdrawal, which would likely hand victory to those who have been attacking American troops. On the other hand, they try to score political points against President Bush by attacking an approach that would merely grant these forces amnesty in exchange for capitulation.

The Midori MD Notebook Blank A5 is made of Midori's signature paper. The cream MD Paper pages are bound with the "Gakari" stitching method which enables the notebook to open entirely flat, no matter what section of the notebook.
What we love most of this Midori MD Notebook Blank A5 is its clean and simple design. Crisp pages with the exposed spine and the 176 pages make this notebook a lot of value for its money.
MD Notebook is also available in Grid, Lined and Cotton and in sizes S, M and L.
Midori has developed covers for its MD Notebooks, in plastic, paper and leather.
MD Paper is Midori's pride when it comes to the art of making paper. Being a stationery manufacturer from the 1950's, MD Paper can be described as part of their blueprint. Ever since Midori made MD Paper in the 1960's, they have not stopped the process of improving the quality. The result is paper that will not stain, or bleed and is fantastic to write on, especially with a fountain pen.
Not only the paper itself has been developed carefully, also the method of binding deserves special explanation. The MD Notebooks are bound by means of stitching; a large sheet of papier is folded into a bundle of 16 pages. Then, such bundles are bound with thread. This method enables the notebook to open entirely flat, ensuring ease of writing, without a bumpy middle.
To honor this method of binding, Midori has left the cover uncovered, so its spine exposes the cheesecloth tape, which is used to reinforce the bounded paper. The MD notebook comes with a wax paper cover.
Counts 176 MD Cream pages
Features a "Gakari" binding of 11 x 16 folded pages, wax paper cover, Kaga Silk bookmark, an index seal
Weights 258g

Special to Copper Area News
It seems that as each generation comes along volunteerism is slowly, but steadily, disappearing from our society. The idea of volunteering to help neighbors and friends dates back thousands of years but today is scarcely even considered to be of any value whatsoever by many . Or, it is seen as "a waste of time because it doesn't do anything for me."
We live in a cradle-to-grave mentality" world now where people just call 911 and someone comes without considering where those firefighters, EMTS and Paramedics, and rescuers come from. They show up in trucks with lights and sirens and take care of you. Who are they? They are your neighbors…
Over 70 percent of fire departments in America today still rely on volunteers to make their departments have enough staffing to protect the people they are responsible to serve. Some departments pay small stipends to their volunteers to encourage their involvement but the vast majority still pride themselves on true volunteers that give selflessly to their neighbors without reimbursement. You see for them its pride in being able to help their community.
A volunteer fire department is one of the hardest yet most challenging volunteer opportunities in which you could ever be involved. However, it takes time away from family to help neighbors or strangers…and most importantly…the ability to follow orders. The quasi-military structure serves a purpose in the fire service…it could save your life! Firefighting is one of the most dangerous occupations in America so because of that it is also a very strict environment. It is not a democratic society nor is it a debating club. If you ignore, or try to debate, a command, and you fail to follow it immediately…you could end up DEAD….end of story. It is not a "coddle me and hug me" environment. It is all about serving your community and neighbors with no expectations!
It takes compassion, commitment, denial of self and a deep desire to serve for the right reasons. It also takes hard work because the training is demanding and time-consuming yet this training is what will save your life. We at Pinal Rural Fire Rescue value our staff of committed volunteers but we need more! EMS has become one of the primary missions of the fire service and we are one of the few departments in the Copper Corridor that has Paramedic-level service so we have lots of opportunities for those that like the medical side of things.
Not everyone wants, or is physically able, to be a firefighter. However, there are many other jobs that you can fulfill…Driver/Pump Operator, Emergency Medical Responder or EMT, Community Educator, Fire Prevention, and the list goes on. It takes a LOT of volunteers offering a little bit of time away from their families to make it all work. What we value most are those volunteers that want to do what it takes to make the whole department serve those we protect. If you do not live around us then check with your local volunteer fire department. Bet they could use you in some way!
For volunteer opportunities with Pinal Rural Fire Rescue, you can contact us at 520-465-5300 or just stop by the station on Wednesday nights at 6:00 p.m. when we have training. It is located at 15062 Highway 77 in Mammoth.

text: Ok I have quick question. I have reinstalled a new domain on a 2003 server. Then moved all of the servers across. Now my problem is that I have Trend Micro installed and all of the clients show as disconnected. So I put in a logon script to update trend clients every time you login. The updates are working fine but the clients are still disconnected. Is there anyway of reconnecting the clients without reinstalling trend micro server.

BracketRacket: Big over little, have over have-nots no coincidence in NCAAs
Welcome to a special academic-themed edition of BracketRacket, your one-stop shopping for all things NCAA on tournament game days. Ohio State fans may want to go directly to item No. 2. Everyone else begin here:
March Madness isn't just about basketball. It's not the only championship this month. It's not even the only one that makes heavy use of a pool.
In case you missed it, Ohio State, with a basketball team plenty good enough to cut down the nets in New Orleans, just won the U.S. Collegiate Synchronized Swimming championship. Neither is a coincidence. Decide for yourself whether that's a good thing.
On the one hand, if we want Olympians in minor-minor sports, they have to come from ' and train ' somewhere. And you can't do better than Ohio State. On the other, the Buckeyes nudged out tiny University of the Incarnate Word to win, and almost-as-small Lindenwood finished a distant third. Those two, combined, probably could squeeze into the OSU cafeteria.
When we spoke to NCAA boss Mark Emmert last week, he said one of his toughest tasks was keeping the playing field level when teams that spend $5 million a year play those that spend $150 million. He's got some good ideas, and a few will make it into his "State of the NCAA" speech on the eve of the Final Four.
Then the pages they're printed on will be rolled up and used to light the pipes of the university presidents who control the NCAA and keep Emmert on a short leash. To save paper ' and breath ' Emmert simply should hand out the synchronized swimming results and walk out of the room.
But this really isn't about synchronized swimming; it's about what you saw on the court last night. After a couple of stunners Friday night, the remaining members of college basketball's 1 percent managed to pull off their gloves, a few just in the nick of time.
Ohio State over Gonzaga. Kentucky over Iowa State. Indiana over VCU. Marquette over Murray State. Louisville over New Mexico.
Big over little, have over have-not.
That's no coincidence, either.
Put down your pencils and go to the 1:30 mark for an a capella version of "One Shining Moment" here: http://apne.ws/yUOSdf
CBS, eat your heart out.
Schooling wasn't the starting point when AP golf writer Doug Ferguson stopped PGA Tour pro Brandt Snedeker (Vanderbilt '03) on the course the other day. March Madness was.
Snedeker talked up Vandy's game against Harvard as the "Battle of the Book," and the "Battle of the Nerds." Mercifully, he didn't trot out the "Harvard of the South" comparison, which is what grads from good schools in every region of the country say, even though their Harvard counterparts never, ever return the compliment. Anyway, what Snedeker said next nearly wiped the smirk off Ferguson's face.
"I think you'd be surprised how many guys go to Vanderbilt for the right reason, They go for the education, and use athletics to get it."
Ferguson practically worships Oklahoma, so you can guess where this was headed.
"You went for an education?"
Snedeker wasn't kidding. "You think I went to that powerhouse just to play golf? Got a free education out of it."
So, yes, a scholarship can be a wonderful thing. Even got a free meal on free ride myself once. A pal at Missouri who was a third-string defensive end snuck me into the Friday-night-before-a-big-game-dinner at a local hotel. Inside, 16 oz. steaks were stacked at eye level, and mashed potatoes overflowed what looked like a life raft. The coaches just winked.
Now, with so much TV dough being thrown around, everything at the big-time programs is strictly business, and players get fed as carefully as astronauts. Yet the percentage who go on to make a living in the pros hasn't changed much. And they still don't get paid anything close to what they're worth.
So study hard, kids. Or take up golf.
Instead of picks, we're going to recap AP college basketball writer Jim O'Connell's record so far.
But first a question. It comes from my No. 2 son, who graduated from Indiana and never ate a meal there his parents didn't pay for: "Why do you hate the Hoosiers?"
O'Connell's reply, selectively edited: "I picked the tournament game by game. Being such a genius I went for a rogue Final Four pick and Wichita State to win. They were gone by the time I had my first hot dog Thursday. Finished the day 9-7. Improved Friday to 10-6. I have no teams left in the South. I heard the guys at the Hall of Fame were unscrewing my name off the wall. (His plaque is inside. Really.)"
"I picked New Mexico State in the second round because a (former) assistant coach friend of mine saw them and said they were good enough to win. So I figured I would look smart if a 13 beat a 4."
He conveniently forgot about picking VCU to beat Indiana last night, but who's counting after this pledge: "Indiana will now be my pick in every game through Monday night in New Orleans."
So the Hoosiers got that going for them. Which is nice.
Friday's stunning upsets by No. 15 seeds Norfolk State and Lehigh highlighted what, by one measure, was the little guys' biggest day ever in the NCAA tournament. The sum of the seed numbers that won Friday was 126 ' 14 higher than the previous record of 112 from March 14, 1991, the day that 15th-seeded Richmond ousted No. 2 seed Syracuse.
With both the Spartans and Mountain Hawks bidding to become the first 15 seed ever to reach the Sweet 16, STATS notes that Norfolk State faces the longer odds. Teams from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference are 1-93 versus the powerful SEC since the start of the 1997-98. Their only win came when Morgan State tripped Arkansas in a 2009 regular-season game. Compared to that history, Patriot League champion Lehigh's quest against the Atlantic 10's Xavier looks more like a current-events exam. Three Patriot League teams beat schools from the A-10 just this past season, including Lehigh's 78-60 victory at Fordham in December. Xavier, meanwhile, had much tougher go of it against Fordham, escaping 67-59 the next month.
"The Toronto Raptors." ' Charles Barkley's answer to TV seatmate Greg Anthony's question "Who do you think can beat Kentucky, Chuck?"
"It goes in every time. Every time," Indiana coach Tom Crean on whether ESPN showed too many replays of the 3-point buzzer-beater by Christian Watford that handed Kentucky its first defeat in the regular season.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was discharged Wednesday from a New York hospital after treatment for a blood clot on her brain, the State Department said.
"She's eager to get back to the office," Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philippe Reines said in a statement, NPR reported. "Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery."
Clinton, 65, who checked in to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Sunday with a blood clot -- apparently caused when she fell and suffered a concussion -- had been seen earlier Wednesday walking to a waiting van outside the hospital, driven by her security detail, the New York Post reported.
Clinton was treated with blood thinners during her hospital stay and was expected to make a full recovery, doctors have said.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton had been working from her hospital bed, even though she hasn't been seen in public since Dec. 7.
"She's been quite active on the phone with staff and taking paper, etc.," Nuland said.
Clinton fell at her Washington home last month after suffering dehydration because of a stomach virus. The illness forced her to cancel some foreign travel and testimony before Congress.
