Message from WHSAA Commissioner Ron Laird
With the forecast for this Thursday and Friday still looking ominous, we are rescheduling the State Tennis Tournament for next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Please realize this is not what we enjoy doing, however, with the fact we are using 19 outdoor courts on Thursday and Friday, there is no way we can move all of those matches into the five indoor courts and have a quality State Tournament.
I know this is a hassle whenever a schedule is changed. We only do this as a last resort.
The Red Grade Grind to be held on October 5th. This will be the 36th running of the event.It starts at 9:00 a.m. at the last parking lot at the end of the pavement as you head up the Grade.
Rain or Shine. No entry fee. 2000' elevation gain in 3 miles. Runners and bicycles welcome.
Any questions, can contact Curt Schwamb 307-672-5416
LADY BRONC SWIMMING - The Lady Bronc Medley relay team set a new school record last Saturday team members are Mackenzie Dougherty, Emily Speigelberg, Payton Brilz and Gretchen Dougherty.
Head coach Brent Moore says it was a tremendous performance. And he says not only for the four team members but it really helped jump start the rest of the team for the meet.
The Lady Broncs host a double dual with the Casper schools and Moore says the dual with Kelly Walsh should be very competitive.
The weather conditions were unfavorable, the Sheridan College Men's team placed 3rd this weekend behind the University of Wyoming who won the event and Gillette College. The Women's team placed 5th this weekend.
The weather conditions were cold and rainy on Friday and with no facility to move the rodeo too, the coaches and judges decided to postpone the rodeo on Friday.
They were able to have the whole long round on Saturday, with the help of Devon Smith, Cody Wulff and the Sheridan College Rodeo team the rodeo went off without a problem.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing
so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may
allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation following
combination chemotherapy in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic
syndrome .
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine overall and leukemia-free survival of patients with acute
nonlymphocytic leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome treated with busulfan and
cyclophosphamide (low-risk patients) or cytarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide
(high-risk patients) followed by allogeneic or syngeneic bone marrow transplantation. II.
Compare the therapeutic effects of these cytoreduction regimens with those reported in the
literature for similar patients who undergo syngeneic or allogeneic marrow transplantation
following cytoreduction that includes total-body irradiation. III. Determine the early and
late toxic effects produced by these chemotherapy regimens in this patient population.
OUTLINE: Low-risk patients (those in first complete remission (CR) who achieved CR with 1
course of chemotherapy) are treated on Regimen A. High-risk patients (those in second or
subsequent CR who required more than 1 course of chemotherapy to achieve first CR or those
with myelodysplastic syndrome) are treated on Regimen B. All patients undergo diagnostic
lumbar puncture prior to beginning therapy and fluid is examined for CNS disease. Patients
receive methotrexate IT along with the tap. Prior to initiation of chemotherapy, patients
with CNS disease present on diagnostic lumbar puncture receive methotrexate IT every 2-3
days until lumbar puncture shows no leukemia cells and then 1 additional dose. Cytoreductive
chemotherapy begins 3 days after the last dose of methotrexate. Regimen A: Patients receive
oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -7 to -4 for a total of 16 doses and cyclophosphamide IV
over 2 hours on days -3 and -2. Allogeneic bone marrow is infused on day 0. Regimen B:
Patients receive oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -9 to -6 for a total of 16 doses.
Patients receive cytarabine IV over 1 hour every 12 hours on days -5 and -4 and
cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -3 and -2. Allogeneic bone marrow is infused on day
0. Graft versus host disease prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV continuously on
days -1 to 28 followed by a taper of oral cyclosporine until day 180. Patients receive
methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11. CNS disease prophylaxis: Patients receive 5 more
doses of methotrexate IT weekly beginning between days 50 and 70. In addition, patients with
history of CNS disease receive 1 dose of methotrexate IT monthly for 1 year. Patients are
followed frequently during the first 100 days, at 6 months, 1 year, and then annually
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 2.7 years.
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: The following hematologic malignancies are eligible: Acute
nonlymphocytic leukemia in one of the following categories: In complete remission In early
relapse Newly diagnosed FAB types M6 and M7 Myelodysplastic syndromes including:
Refractory anemia with excessive blasts Refractory anemia with excessive blasts in
transformation Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia Secondary acute myeloid leukemia
Transplantation priority given in decreasing order of: First remission Second remission
Third remission Early relapse, with priority further reduced for: Refractory response to
platelet transfusion Severe infection within 6 weeks prior to referral History of major
organ pathology or insult (hepatitis, renal damage, pulmonary disease, cystitis, etc.) CNS
disease allowed but priority status for transplantation lowered Donor Criteria: Sibling or
matched related/unrelated donor required Donor priority as follows: Monozygotic twin
Genotypical or phenotypical HLA-A, -B, -C, and -D match Match at any 2 loci (A, B, Dr) on
the other haplotype ABO-compatible donor preferred Marrow processed to eliminate
mismatched erythrocytes if ABO incompatible In case of multiple donors, priority is: ABO
compatibility Age over 18 Same sex No physiologic, psychologic, or medical
contraindication to donation procedure No increased anesthetic risk due to pre-existing
illness HIV negative
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 6 months to 60 years Performance status: No preterminal or
moribund patients Life expectancy: No severe limits on life expectancy due to diseases
other than leukemia Hematopoietic: See Disease Characteristics Hepatic: Bilirubin no
greater than 2.0 mg/dL Transaminases no greater than 3 times normal No severe hepatic
disease Renal: Creatinine no greater than 1.5 mg/dL OR Creatinine clearance at least 60
mL/min No severe renal disease No history of severe cystitis with cyclophosphamide
Cardiovascular: LVEF at least 50% No symptomatic cardiac disease Pulmonary: FEV1 and FVC
at least 75% of normal No severe pulmonary disease Other: HIV negative No severe
personality disorder or severe mental illness No condition (such as substance abuse) that
would markedly increase the morbidity and mortality of transplantation Criteria of
hepatic, renal, cardiac, and pulmonary function and mental illness are used only for
initial screening of potential candidates; patients who do not meet these criteria may
still be eligible at the discretion of the transplant team

The organisation was embroiled in a bribery scandal in 2011 when Blatter's presidential rival, Mohamed Bin Hammam, was accused of offering members of the Executive Committee cash in exchange for votes.
Bin Hammam was recently banned from the sport for life following a number of failed appeals, while CONCACAF president Jack Warner, who had been subject of a number of accusations over corruption throughout his 11-year reign, resigned and was therefore assumed not guilty of any wrongdoing.
It was the latest in a long line of accusations to be levelled at football's governing body, with some stretching back to when Joao Havelange ousted Stanley Rous as president in 1974.
But Blatter believes that such episodes will be a thing of the past now that Fifa has taken steps to clean up its act, as long as every member body under its rule plays their part.
"The congress in 2011 decided that we shall have a look at three different matters," he told Al Jazeera. "One was transparency in finances, one was to improve the organisation of the ethics committee, and the third was to have a better governance in all the organisations in football.
"We are now in the last phase of this implementation. In 2013, at the next congress, we will be at the end of this reform process. What is already done is that we have a special committee for audit and compliance, we now have a special committee for ethics that has two chambers - one investigatory and one adjudicatory - and we are at the end of some changes in statutes.
"This is the top of the pyramid, if we want it to work through the whole pyramid this must be installed at all the national associations and in the confederations.
"This must come. Fifa, with 300 million people, cannot just have one tribunal or one control system at the head. It's like in any country, you have to go to all the provinces and all the communities.
"It is done, but now it has to be applied. It is easy to control football when it is played on the field, because you have a referee, you have a time limit and you have boundaries. But outside the field of play you have no referee, you have no time limit and you have no boundaries.
"Football cannot be responsible for all the villainy that happens in the world. Now it is said: 'If something is wrong, it's football', 'If there is corruption, it's all football', 'If there is violence, it's football'. No. Because football is part of our society, and this game is so popular, we are victims of all the villainy, and we must fight against that. But it cannot just be from the top, it must come from solidarity."
Despite his confidence that he is winning the fight against corruption, the 76-year-old admitted that while Fifa has 'independent' figures sat on its disciplinary boards, Transparency International, a company that purports to be a "global coalition against corruption", refused to work with the organisation.
"We have independent chairmen on these committees," he continued. "Totally independent chairman - paid by Fifa.
"I had a long discussion with Transparency International. They had another view how to develop our ideas."

Key findings of IPCC report on climate change
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international body established by the U.N. in 1988, presented a summary of its latest assessment on climate change on Friday. Here are the key findings:
— Global warming is "unequivocal," and since the 1950′s it's "extremely likely" that human activities have been the dominant cause of the temperature rise.
— Concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have increased to levels that are unprecedented in at least 800,000 years. The burning of fossil fuels is the main reason behind a 40 percent increase in C02 concentrations since the industrial revolution.
— Global temperatures are likely to rise by 0.3 to 4.8 degrees C, or 0.5-8.6 F, by the end of the century depending on how much governments control carbon emissions.
— Most aspects of climate change will continue for many centuries even if CO2 emissions are stopped.
— Sea levels are expected to rise a further 10-32 inches (26-82 centimeters) by the end of the century.
— The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing mass over the past two decades. Glaciers have continued to melt almost all over the world. Arctic sea ice has shrunk and spring snow cover has continued to decrease, and it is "very likely" that this will continue.
— It's "virtually certain" that the upper ocean has warmed from 1971 to 2010. The ocean will continue to warm this century, with heat penetrating from the surface to the deep ocean.

A ramp up in marketing that boosted sales last quarter led Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) to report better-than-expected third-quarter earnings on Wednesday and increase its full-year outlook for the second time this fiscal year.
The Victor, N.Y.-based maker of Robert Mondavi and Ravenswood wine reported net income of $110 million, or 58 cents a share, up 4% from the year-earlier period.
Continue Reading Below
Excluding one-time items, Constellation earned 63 cents, beating average analyst estimates of 55 cents in a Thomson Reuters poll.
The results, coupled with tax benefits, led the vintner to lift its fiscal 2013 outlook to a range of $2.10 to $2.20 a share, excluding special items, from an earlier forecast of $2.00 to $2.10. The projection is above the consensus' $2.07 EPS estimate.
Constellation said the $1.85 billion acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in Crown Imports, first announced in June, is still expected to close in the current calendar quarter. The deal will give it full control of U.S. distribution for Corona Extra.
In a statement, Constellation CEO Rob Sands said the acquisition will solidify the company's position as the largest U.S. multi-category suppliers across the alcohol beverage segment.
"The year is unfolding as we expected and we are on track to meet our financial and strategic goals for the year," he said.
Constellation continues to experience strong marketplace momentum across its beer, wine and spirits portfolio and was well positioned during the key holiday season, Sands added.
Revenue for the three-month period was $767 million, up from $701 million a year ago and topping the Street's view of $751.8 million.
Constellation said wine and spirits net sales grew 6% on an organic constant currency basis, partially offset by higher promotional expenses.

Learn How To Sound Like...Jack White (The White Stripes)
Last week the White Stripes' new album, "Icky Thumb", went straight to number One in the Charts, proving they are still one of the most popular acts in the world today. Since they first struck stardom with hit-single "7 Nation Army", one thing many guitarists would like to know is how to sound like Jack White. Here's how...
The secret weapon of Jack White is his pedalboard, which has been subject of several discussions on web-forums, ever since they became famous. Fortunately for us mere mortals, his setup is very simple and he doesn't use anything too rare or obscure as far as FX pedals go:
MXR Micro Amp >> Digitech Whammy >> Electro Harmonix Big Muff >> Electro Harmonix POG.
The MXR Micro Amp is used to boost the signal whenever he needs it – some sources say it's on at all times.
Jack White's main distortion is the classic Big Muff Fuzz pedal, which now has been painted red.
He uses the Digitech Whammy for solos (2 Octaves up) and that's one of his trademark sounds – the crunchy Big Muff and the Digitech Whammy at the same time... most of Jack White's solos are played like that.
Jack also uses the Digitech Whammy with the Octaves down setting, to make his guitar sound like a bass on "7 Nation Army". As you can see, it's a very versatile pedal.
The POG is one of EHX's newest pedals, and was used for the guitar sounds on "Blue Orchid", the first single from their previous album "Get Behind Me Satan". It's unknown if he uses it for anything else.
Jack White also uses two other pedals, but which have nothing to do with his sound: the Boss TU-2 Tuner, and a pedal to cutoff the signal, to mute his guitar whenever he needs it.
Here, things get a bit more complicated...up until recently, when he started playing Gretsch guitars, Jack White only used old, obscure guitars – not even particularly good! Such as the Montgomery Ward Airline, which used to be sold in department stores in the USA in the 60s.
Well...if you can't get hold of one on Ebay, the best idea is to get a good retro-style guitar. But it must be red, obviously, like all his guitars! Here's our sugegstions:
- Reverend Charger
- Fender Toronado
- Gretsch Power Firebird
- Gretsch "Billy Bo" Jupiter Thunderbird
- Ibanez Jet King II
- Danelectro 56 Pro
He also uses a Semi-Acoustic, 335-style guitar for some more bluesy numbers. A good and cheap suggestion would be the red Tanglewood TH502 guitar Simple, cheap, sturdy and effective...
Jack White's favourite amp is a super-rare Silvertone model, but he also uses a Fender Twin Reverb. In an interview for Guitar Player a few years ago, White said:
"The Silvertone is really rare," says White. "It took me five years to find it, and now I have two. The Silvertone gives me the crunch-and the crunch that comes from those six Jensen speakers is amazing-and the Twin gives me the reverb. I run both amps all the way up. I used to get upset because of that theory you get from sound guys-you know, 'Turn it down onstage and we'll pump you through the monitors.' I don't trust that. I need my amps pointed at me full blast. That's a weakness of mine, but I have to have it. I mean, it's just me and Meg up there, so the guitar has to be strong."
If you're looking for a more affordable alternative to the Fender Twin, you might like to try the Fender Blues Junior, which has the classic Fender tone and reverb in a small – but still quite loud – 15-watt amp.
Though, we must say, the Fender Pro Junior 60th Anniversary Woody (Above, right) is simply..."totally" White Stripes! You can bet Jack White would love it!
If you want a crunchier amp, but can't get a Silvertone, then try the Orange Crush 30R, that should give you all the crunchy sounds you need to get your Jack White tone nailed!
That's it!
We hope this info will have helped you to get the sound you want!

After nearly five years at Northern Illinois, Jeff Compher was introduced as East Carolina's new athletic director Wednesday afternoon in Greenville, N.C.
According to the Associated Press, Compher agreed to a five-year contract worth $415,000 annually plus performance bonuses. He will begin his duties at East Carolina on May 1. NIU has not yet announced an interim athletic director. Compher made $284,000 annually at NIU.
"I would like to thank the search committee, the members of the Board of Trustees, and especially Chancellor (Steve) Ballard for this outstanding opportunity to lead the ECU Athletics Department," Compher said in an ECU news release. "North Carolina has always been home for our family and the city of Greenville holds a special place in our hearts. We look forward to getting to know the student-athletes, coaches and staff as well as the many fans and supporters of ECU athletics."
Compher, 53, is replacing Terry Holland, who retired earlier this year. He will oversee a program that is a member of Conference USA, but will join the Big East (as it's currently known) in football in 2014. Compher has ties to the state as he spent 2000-04 as Western Carolina's athletic director and worked in various positions at N.C. State for 13 years. He was an assistant athletic director in Raleigh from 1986-92.
During his time in DeKalb, Compher hired two football coaches as well as a men's and women's basketball coach. He also oversaw the start of construction on the $9.5-million Chessick Practice Center.
"I would like to thank President Peters, the student-athletes, coaches and staff for the opportunity to lead the Huskie Athletics Department. I am also very grateful to the generous donors, alumni and fans who have helped build a tremendously successful athletics program," Compher said in an NIU press release. "My family will miss the many good friends we have made here and appreciate how the community accepted us over the last five years."
Compher hired Dave Doeren in December 2010, and watched him go 23-4 in two seasons at the helm of the NIU football program. Doeren took the North Carolina State job Dec.1, the day after the Huskies won their second consecutive Mid-American Conference championship.
On Dec. 2, 2012, Compher replaced Doeren with Rod Carey, who had been the team's offensive coordinator. The same day, NIU became the first MAC school to earn a BCS bid, as it was announced the Huskies would take on Florida State in the Orange Bowl. Florida State would go on to defeat NIU, 31-10, on New Year's Day.
"I am really happy for Jeff and his family, but sad to see him go," Carey said in a press release. "He's been a great leader for NIU and has taken us to places we haven't been before as a football program and as an athletic department. I have the utmost respect for Jeff and his wife, Cathy."
Twelve of the 16 current head coaches in the Huskies' athletic program were hired by Compher. In addition to Doeren and Carey, coaches Compher brought to DeKalb include men's basketball coach Mark Montgomery and women's basketball coach Kathi Bennett.
Montgomery has gone just 10-49 in nearly two seasons at the helm of the men's program, while Bennett is 34-55 with the women's team.
Construction on the Chessick Center began in 2012, and the facility is scheduled to be finished sometime this fall. Last month, Compher told the Daily Chronicle he expected the facility to be completed around October – before NIU hosts the IHSA State Football Championships.

The Walrus Says
"After we left the gulf of Maine, we headed south until we were around Washington, D.C. Then, we went due east across the Atlantic, hitting 30-foot swells along the way. We went through the Azores, and then the straits of Gibraltar. There were ships all around us in the straits, the radar looked very congested with all of the traffic.
"We made a good impression in Marseille, right off the bat. We needed to take a bus from the port to Viewport, which was where most of the shopping and restaurants are. No one had exact change for the bus, so we created a huge traffic jam of angry Frenchmen trying to figure out how we were going to pay the fare. Once there, it went a lot smoother, especially if you are with someone who speaks the language. We visited a couple of old forts, a lot of cathedrals. A couple of people visited the prison Chateau Dief, which is where the "Count of Monte Cristo" was filmed. One of the cathedrals that we went to was on top of a hill that overlooked the entire city. It offered a gorgeous panorama.
"In order to get to Kiel, Germany, we needed to head north out of the straits, go through the English Channel, up around Denmark and then down into the Baltic Sea. When in Kiel, we visited a restored German Uboat. While at a street bratwurst stand, I saw something called a bier bike. It is like a portable bar that sits eight to a side, where the patrons pedal, and get served beer from a keg.
"On our way to England, we went through the Kiel canal so that we didn't have to go around Denmark. On the first day there, we stayed in Portsmouth, where we took a tour of the H.M.S. Victory, which was very interesting seeing how sailors of old lived. They had tributes to Lord Nelson on the ship, where he was shot and even the water barrel that contained him after the battle of Trafalgar.
"On our way back across the Atlantic, we were tested on our knowledge of the engine room by having to point out where certain systems on the ship are.
"Our last port was Portland, Maine, where some midshipmen left the ship for visits home. We stayed aboard and some parents joined us for the passage back to Castine.
"On the way, we did a lot of reminiscing about our journey."
Thanks, Eric. You and your dad may some day ship out together.
A sad note with a happy ending from Andrea and Chris Russell:
"You may remember doing a story for the Walrus a few years back about Rusty the Doberman after he was lost at Ft. Getty. It's with great sadness that I am writing to you now. We lost Rusty Saturday, June 5, at the grand old age of 14. This was quite old for a big dog (90 pounds).
I thought you should know only because so many people knew Rusty – at the post office, Mary would always ask about him. Haven't been in lately though.
And, of course, there is Charlie Shaffer, who 'rescued' him. Maybe now they are 'chilling' together.
"We did get another dobe from Doberman rescue. Farrah is a 1-year-old stray from N.Y. The complete opposite of Rusty – a petite young girl. She is bringing us joy after our sadness in losing our great friend!"
Mim brought home a bag of books from the library sale last week and as I was thumbing through a paperback, a photo – evidently used as a bookmark – dropped to the floor. It is a delightful picture of a laughing baby in a gray jumper with unreadable letters on the top left side. He (?) is being held by a pretty girl with short dark hair, wearing a gray jacket. The photo was developed by Walgreens on Sept. 12, 2006. If it rings a bell with anyone, call me at 829-2760.

Elizabeth Mancini and Peter Pemantell say that last week's poser is "Summertime Summertime." Elizabeth adds that the song was originally sung by The Jamies.
Tonight's the night for an evening of music and lots of laughs for the young set.

And, come back to the library Saturday from 10 to 11 a.m. and participate with magician Debbie O'Carroll as she introduces some of the amazing and legendary creatures of children's literature. Play a game with the elusive Lake Champlain monster, meet Slewfoot Sue – a cowgirl who rides a catfish – and participate in the magic of a weather-predicting groundhog.
Both programs are free and open to the public for school-age children and their older companions.

Mary Wright, artistic director for the Jamestown Community Theatre, invites you to welcome an Oompa Loompa or other stage luminaries into your home. The JCT is in need of space to store costumes. There is a need for at least 200 square feet, and more would be welcome. If you have space in your home or place of business and can help out, call Annie McIntyre at 474-2140.
Mary reminds everybody to mark their calendars for the JCT's auditions for its November musical, Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella." Mary says that this version is not Disney, and requires adults in many roles. In addition, there will be a chorus that will sing some lovely Rogers and Hammerstein music. Large, medium and small roles are available for all ages, and some good roles will require less rehearsal time. Auditions are at the Jamestown Golf Course on Wednesday, Aug. 11, at 6 p.m. for seven-year-olds through adults who are auditioning for chorus and/or small roles. Those 7 through 16 must recite a memorized poem or monologue of 8 to12 lines. Those 17 and older have no advanced preparation.

Aaron Paul: 'Need For Speed' Star
Aaron Paul holds hands with his fiance Lauren Parsekian as they leave the Sayers Club on Tuesday (October 30) in Los Angeles.
The 33-year-old Breaking Bad actor and his fiance were in good spirits, laughing and full of smiles.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Aaron Paul
Aaron will star in the DreamWorks adaptation of the popular video game franchise, Need For Speed, THR reports.
The action film, set for a February 7, 2014 release, will be "rooted in the tradition of the great car-culture films of the '70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise."
It was just announced that Imogen Poots is in negotiations for the female lead.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. dollar tumbled below 104 Japanese yen Thursday as stocks sold off and Treasurys gained.
The yen strength was "more of a risk-aversion story," said Richard Franulovich, chief currency strategist for the northern hemisphere at Westpac Banking Corp., pointing to price action in stocks and bonds, as well as drops in some emerging-market currencies.
Preliminary results from HSBC's monthly survey of China's manufacturing sector, which showed a surprise contraction, also helped weigh on risk appetite, he said.
The dollar USDJPY, -0.11% dropped 1.2% to ¥103.18 from ¥104.48 Wednesday. The yen can often strengthen in the face of economic uncertainty, in part because it's seen as a safe haven, and in part because investors tend to unwind carry trade funded in yen when risks to global growth rise.
U.S. jobless claims inched up by 1,000 to 326,000 last week, compared with economist expectations of 330,000 claims on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to a MarketWatch poll. The more-reliable average of new claims over the last month fell by 3,750 to 331,500.
Other data released Thursday included the U.S. flash purchasing managers' index, which slipped to 53.7 in January. Homes sales rose 1% in December, pushing 2013 sales in total to the highest level in seven years.
In all, data due ahead of next week's January meeting of the Federal Reserve aren't likely to sway the central bank's monetary-policy decision, said HSBC currency strategist Robert Lynch. Investors broadly expect the Fed to announce another $10 billion reduction in its bond purchases to $65 billion a month. The Fed in December decided the economy was strong enough to withstand a slight withdrawal of monetary stimulus, announcing a cut of $10 billion in bond buys effective January.
The ICE Dollar Index DXY, -0.02% a measure of the U.S. unit against six other major currencies, dropped to 80.442 from 81.185 late Wednesday in North America. The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, -0.03% a rival measure of dollar strength, fell to 74.04 from 74.45.
The euro EURUSD, +0.0435% jumped to $1.3691 from $1.3548 late Wednesday, and the British pound GBPUSD, -0.1220% rose to $1.6633 from $1.6576.
Data showed the manufacturing PMI for the euro area rose to a 32-month high in January, beating analysts' expectations and providing further evidence the region is recovering. Germany's manufacturing PMI rose to a 32-month high of 56.3, beating analyst expectations, while France's manufacturing sector continued to contract, albeit at a slower pace than in December. A level above 50 signals expansion.
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney on Thursday indicated that interest rates won't need to rise immediately, even as the unemployment rate sits right above the 7% threshold set out by the bank for a consideration of rate hikes.
Meanwhile, the dollar USDCAD, +0.1382% rose to 1.1098 Canadian dollars from late Wednesday's C$1.1085, and well above the C$1.0977 reached on Tuesday.
The selling began Wednesday after the Bank of Canada issued what some economists described as a relatively dovish statement, as it kept its policy interest unchanged.
RBC Capital Markets senior currency strategist Sue Trinh said Thursday that the Canadian currency "remains an outcast," even as Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz denied in a subsequent interview that the central bank's reference to the "persistent strength of the Canadian dollar" meant policy makers saw the currency as overvalued.
"While [the Canadian dollar's] selloff looks overdone in the context of the move in outright yields, there were some epic moves in short end spreads with key cross markets," Trinh wrote.
The Australian dollar AUDUSD, +0.4361% saw a sizeable drop after the Chinese manufacturing data, falling to 87.64 U.S. cents from 88.52 U.S. cents the previous day.
An International Monetary Fund official said Thursday that the Bank of Japan doesn't need to ease further as long as the country makes progress in meeting its 2% inflation goal.

Hello guys,Colorsublime is finally online colorsublime.com/
On this website you could try online many ST2 themes before downloading your favorite ones for free.
Enjoy it!
Nice site! And many themes! Thanks!
Maybe you will be interested in this site as well https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/color-scheme-editor-for-sublime/7777/1You could integrate to each other
Wow what a cool idea... we need to discuss about that but let's keep in touch
Awesome gianluca!I think u are italian like me...XDOne tecnical / OT question...For which part of the site u have used node.js?
keepup the awesome work!!!!
Fantastic website! I LOVE being able to preview the themes before downloading them and trying them out.
Did notice a few things though...1) I went through all of the themes and noticed that they seemed to repeat about halfway through. "monoindustrial" is one that I saw at least twice while going through the list. I'm using the latest build of Chrome on Win 7.2) It would be really cool if the preview would save your language choice from preview to preview.3) Any chance you can add a SQL preview? I doubt, however, that very many people use ST2 for SQL or PL/SQL...
You rock!! Bryan Lott
we use node js to parse and convert all the sublime text 2 themes into Ace javascript files@MystickPhoenixthanks for your feedback
we will fix the problem as soon as possible ( probably it is not the only one )
It is not in our TODO list at the moment but we will think about that
We will add new languages in our themes preview and probably SQL will be one of them
This might be interesting to you guys:
Our 20 person developer group was recently asked to comment on what color scheme they used, and why. 18 chimed in with more or less advanced arguments, but most importantly they chimed in on what scheme they actually liked using over extended periods of time.
Consensus is that the most comfortable scheme is one extremely close to what is provided by Sunburst (we have a vs.net theme that basically replicates Sunburst.)
Aesthetically, just about everyone loves it. Interestingly, only one out of eighteen preferred a light-background scheme, which was surprising to me.
Out of curiosity, what scheme do people in here prefer?
P.S. Great site! I love trying out new schemes.
So people who work/code professionally in an office environment prefer working on a dark background during the day? That is interesting. Yeah I can see working with the dark background during night hours, but during the day that would hurt my eyes.
As far as a darker background scheme, I like the Birds of Paradise theme.joebergantine.com/werkstatt/bird ... r-textmate
Research says the opposite, so does our experience. Try it before you make conclusions.
I like the Dark Orange scheme that comes with the Phoenix theme.
Nice, restful shades, without assigning a different colour to every little thing — so no "angry fruit salad" effect
Not sure if this is or isn't a feature yet (or planned), but it would be great to know what other's prefer and use (especially as a newbie to the scene), so a rating and popularity system would rock. Perhaps this could fit in under the preview (tone down the size of the buttons for room); but you guys'll figure it out.
Pretty awesome idea and well executed. Props.
Hi ausprog,honestly the "love button" is already in the code but it is commented and so is not displayed yet. We have planned to create a rating system.. stay tuned
Love it!.. how do you "remove" an installed theme? Manually delete them from the "Colorsublime - Themes" folder?

The University of Rochester was named a Top Military-Friendly University in Military Advanced Education's 2014 Guide to Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities. The guide, which is available in print and online, provides potential students with information about institutions that give back to military service members.
"It's gratifying to receive recognition for our commitments to veterans and their families. But we would do it anyway. It's simply the right thing to do," said Jon Burdick, vice-provost for enrollment initiatives and dean of admissions and financial aid.
In recent years, the University has provided increased financial resources for vets by joining the Yellow Ribbon program and creating the Rochester Pledge Scholarship. By providing full-tuition scholarships to qualified, post-9/11 veterans, Rochester Pledge has helped ease the financial burden for veterans wishing to attend several of the University's schools and colleges. Since the scholarship's inception, the number of veterans enrolled at Rochester has increased slowly, yet steadily; 32 veterans currently study on campus.
Last month, the University expanded its resources and support services through the creation of the Veterans Alliance, a new affinity group on campus. The group will provide networking, mentoring, and support for veteran and active military members from across campus and at all academic levels. A new Veterans resources guide also will provide vets a single place to look for information on the many offices and departments they may interact with throughout their academic careers.
Among the attributes considered in evaluating institutions for inclusion in Military Advanced Education's guide are the flexibility of online learning options, extent of transfer credits accepted by degree level, on-campus ROTC, Servicemember Opportunity Colleges (SOC) participation, on-campus active duty/veteran assistance, the support provided to the families of servicemembers, faculty trained in veteran reintegration issues, presence on military installations, and full-time counselors trained in veteran-specific mental health concerns, to name a few.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — A civilian appeals court has now reversed the verdicts of the only two Guantanamo Bay prisoners convicted in trials by military tribunal, casting a shadow over proceedings set to resume this week at the U.S. base in Cuba for the men accused in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
A federal appeals court on Friday threw out the military commission conviction of Ali Hamza al-Bahlul, who was charged with providing material support to terrorism and conspiracy for making propaganda videos for al-Qaida. That followed the dismissal in October of the conviction of Salim Hamdan, a driver for Osama bin Laden.
Al-Bahlul and Hamdan were the only prisoners convicted in a trial by the tribunals known as a military commission. The five other convictions of Guantanamo prisoners came through plea bargains.
There are two pending death penalty cases at Guantanamo: one against a prisoner accused of orchestrating the attack on the USS Cole in 2000, the other against five men accused of planning and aiding the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the recent reversals have raised new questions about the use of military commissions in complex terrorism cases.
"The fact that no conviction can stand up on appeal does not bode well for the military commission system," said James Connell, a lawyer for Ammar al-Baluchi, a Pakistani who is one of the five charged in the Sept. 11 attacks.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Friday overturned al-Bahlul's November 2008 conviction. In October, the court overturned Hamdan's August 2008 conviction. In both cases, the reasoning was the same.
The court determined that before enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which authorized the tribunals for the terrorism suspects at Guantanamo, only violations of the international law of war and pre-existing federal offenses were subject to trial by military commission, a special court for wartime offenses. The court said the charges of material support for terrorism and conspiracy did not meet that standard.
The Justice Department let the deadline to appeal the Hamdan ruling expire, perhaps because he has already been released after serving his 5 ½ year sentence and is back home in Yemen with his family. But the government said it disagreed with the ruling in court papers and is likely to challenge the al-Bahlul ruling.
A Pentagon spokesman, Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, said "the al-Bahlul ruling has no bearing on the substantive merits," of the Sept. 11 case, which will be the subject of a four-day pretrial hearing scheduled to start Monday.
But the reversals hang like a cloud over the proceedings since the Sept. 11 case is vastly more complex than al-Bahlul or Hamdan, which were portrayed by officials at the time as warm-ups to the more significant prosecutions.
"It just shows just how shaky the entire military commission system is," said Andrea Prasow, an attorney for Human Rights Watch who was part of the defense team when Hamdan was convicted at Guantanamo in August 2008.
The cases couldn't be much more different. Hamdan was a relatively minor figure, dismissed as a "small player," even by the military judge who presided over his trial. Al-Bahlul, now serving life at Guantanamo, didn't even mount a defense.
The Sept. 11 case features five defendants facing the death penalty for charges that include nearly 3,000 counts of murder for their alleged roles in planning and helping orchestrate the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Their May 5 arraignment was an unruly 13-hour spectacle, drawn out as the defendants refused to use the court translation system and ignored the judge, and any eventual conviction would face a multitude of appeals.
"Men's lives are on the line," Prasow said. "I think that's all the more reason for the government to proceed very cautiously and make sure that it is confident that it has a firm legal basis upon which to pursue these charges."
Already, the Hamdan and al-Bahlul cases are creating confusion in the Sept. 11 case.
The chief prosecutor for the Guantanamo tribunals, Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, sought to withdraw the charge of conspiracy in the Sept. 11 case, leaving seven charges against them.
"There are significant litigation risks attendant to proceeding with the joint conspiracy charge as a separate and stand-alone offense in the subject case," Martins said in a motion released Friday.
But then his recommendation to withdraw the charge was overruled by Convening Authority Bruce MacDonald, a retired admiral who oversees the military commissions, who said the conspiracy charge was still under judicial review.
The debate over the conspiracy charge won't be at issue at this week's hearing. A judge set the four-day proceeding at the base hear arguments on about two dozen defense and prosecution motions that must be resolved prior to a trial that is likely at least a year away.
Among the motions is one from lawyers for the five defendants, who include self-professed terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, requiring the U.S. government to preserve the secret overseas prisons where the men were held, and subjected to harsh interrogations, before they were taken to Guantanamo. Those prisons, they argue, are potential evidence for claims that the prisoners were subjected to torture.

Four to Receive Clarkson University Inspirational High School Educator Award
Potsdam, N.Y. -- Four Clarkson University seniors have nominated teachers and a guidance counselor, who will be honored as the 2008 Clarkson University Inspirational High School Educators in May.
Each year, Clarkson seniors are invited to nominate a secondary school educator whom they feel has had a significant effect on their lives and helped guide their higher education decisions and career pursuits. The award recognizes these educators for their influential and lasting impact on their students and in their field of education.
Melissa S. Randall of North Rose, N.Y., who is majoring in business & technology management, and global supply chain management, nominated her former high school English teacher at North Rose-Wolcott School, Barbara Briscese of Wolcott, N.Y., because she genuinely cared about her students' successes, not only in the classroom, but outside of the classroom as well.
Rebecca L. Worthington of Stafford, N.Y., who is majoring in business & technology management, nominated her former high school social studies, economics, and U.S. history teacher at Pavillion Central School, David Dickson of Brockport, N.Y., because of his dedication and encouraging words, and always pushing his students to achieve the goals they never thought they could reach.
And Marissa Ainsworth of Gansevoort, N.Y., who is majoring in interdisciplinary engineering & management, nominated her former high school guidance counselor at Schuylerville Central School, John Guay of Middle Grove, N.Y., because he combines his creativity and enthusiasm for his students by inspiring them to pursue areas they did not think were possible.
Early in the spring term, graduating seniors at Clarkson submitted nomination forms that outlined their reasons for choosing the particular teacher, how the teacher influenced the student and an actual situation in which the teacher demonstrated characteristics of an outstanding educator.
This is the 19th consecutive year that Clarkson has bestowed this award. "Some high school educators are successful in motivating students and helping them to harness their capabilities and creativity in a quest to discover where their strengths lie, " said Clarkson University Vice President for University Outreach and Student Affairs Kathryn Johnson. " We, as a university, rely on those educators and their valuable guidance to our prospective students. We are proud to honor those who have given selflessly so that these students could have the best education possible."
The Inspirational High School Educator award recipients will be honored at a dinner on May 10 and recognized by University President Tony Collins in his address to the class of 2008 during the commencement ceremony the next day.

SNHU's revolution: A bold experimentEDITORIAL
April 28. 2013 12:10AM
Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester has the insular world of higher education buzzing. On April 16, SNHU was notified by the U.S. Department of Education that the university's experimental competency-based education program had the federal government's official approval. The way Americans experience college might change forever.
A traditional college degree is based on spending two or four years in classes, then passing exams that produce transcripts full of letter grades. The costs at SNHU are around $50,000 for a two-year degree, $110,000 for a four-year degree. With the approval of the university's new competency-based model, students will have the opportunity to earn a two-year degree for about $5,000. Instead of tallying their classroom instruction time, the university will assess the students' knowledge and skills.
"For the first time in the history of American higher education, federal dollars will support a degree path based on what you have learned, not how long you have sat in a chair," SNHU President Paul Leblanc told this newspaper.
The university is calling this initiative the College for America. Available only through participating employers, eventually it will be opened to the public.
This is not New Hampshire's first foray into competency-based education. During Gov. Craig Benson's term, state Board of Education Chairman Fred Bramante pushed hard to have competency-based education and real-world learning introduced into the public school system. He succeeded, which allowed some very innovative experiments. But the public K-12 education system being what it is, these changes have been slow to spread.
Higher education is a different beast. It is highly competitive. Good (and bad) ideas can spread quickly. Already administrators at other colleges and universities are considering following SNHU's lead. It is too early to call this a revolution, but Leblanc's experiment definitely is noteworthy.
"What higher education has historically been able to do with great precision is tell the world how long a student spent on a topic, not what they have actually learned," Leblanc said earlier this month. "So when an employer gets a transcript in front of them, and sees the student got a 'B,' all that tells them is that the student did better than a student who got a 'C,' but they don't know what the student actually learned. When they get a transcript from CFA, they will see 120 competencies that define very precisely what a student knows."
The appeal for employers is obvious. Students should be attracted by the dramatically lower prices and the opportunity to go at their own pace. Is this the long-sought answer to the ever-rising price of higher education? It is far too early to know. But it is an experiment with promise, and Leblanc deserves credit for conducting it.

ATLANTA - Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials say those who spend money on outdoor recreation in the state have added more than $5.5 billion to its economy.
Department spokeswoman Melissa Cummings said in a statement Wednesday that results of a survey showed the number of people participating in Georgia's outdoor recreational activities has increased by more than 400,000 since 2006.
Cummings says Georgia's figures were included in the 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, which is conducted every five years by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Cummings says state and federal organizations use the survey to plan and manage outdoor and wildlife-related recreation programs.
The department released the findings ahead of National Hunting and Fishing Day, which is Saturday.

And it was more of the same after the restart as France kept the relentless pressure on to maintain their unbeaten record.
The omens were there from the very first minutes as France had a shot at the posts, only for Sandrine Agricole's penalty to fall short.
But the visitors didn't have to wait long to get on the scoreboard as Shanon Izar made space for wing Marion Lièvre to race clear.
Scotland were livng dangerously as full-back Steph Johnston's clearance was charged down by Izar. The hosts' defence initially held firm but was finally breached again as a rolling maul saw N'Diaye touch down, Agricole converting.
And moments later the France No.8 had her second try as she bulldozed her way over, Agricole once again adding the extras.
The tries kept flowing for France as hooker and captain Gaelle Mignot was the next to go over following a powerful maul, with lock Assa Koita joining her shortly after.
And Camille Grassineau got in the act to give the visitors a comfortable 38-0 lead at half-time.
Scotland came out after the break with renewed vigour and forced France into making several penalties early on.
But they were their own worst enemy shortly afterwards as a fumble saw replacement Lise Arricastre score with full-back Christelle LeDuff converting.
LeDuff then got a try of her own to bring up the half-century for France, before the full-back was called on to convert an Izar score.
Back rower Koumiba Djoussouvi brought up France's tenth try, LeDuff converting, before replacement Jessy Tremoulière rounded things off with a score at the final whistle.

Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, who was then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory, as well as an audiophile and professional drummer. Lee discovered that wires of different constructions produced varying degrees of audio performance when hooked up to loudspeakers. From this discovery, he developed a high performance speaker cable, named it Monster Cable, and literally created an industry. The invention of Monster Cable created a new product category that revolutionized the audio market. Prior to Monster Cable, most stereo systems were wired with ordinary "zip-cord," the same cable used for electrical household and lamp wire. Their inferior construction and cheap materials restricts power, dynamic range and clarity in the lows, mids, and highs.
Lee chose the name "Monster" because it sounded strong and powerful. It became an immediate hit with consumers. In fact, the name Monster Cable is so synonymous with high quality and high performance, customers often assume that any cable they purchase in reputable stores would be Monster even though there are other cable brands.
Monster is now the world's leading manufacturer of high performance cables that connect audio/video components for home, car and professional use as well as computers and computer games. Monster Cable is an indispensable component for music lovers, audiophiles, recording studios, sound professionals, musicians, custom-installers and home theatre enthusiasts. Monster's audio cables increase the clarity, dynamics and power of the audio signals that travel through them. Monster video cables deliver the sharpest, clearest picture possible with naturally vivid color from traditional and digital television, projectors, home theatre and satellite systems. Monster Game products lets enthusiasts enjoy the ultimate gaming experience by maximizing sound and video quality of a gaming system. Monster Power, a division of Monster Cable, delivers cleaner AC power to A/V components and computer products and high joule surge protection for maximum performance.
Monster Headquarters Monster's New Product Development division draws upon years of audio design and critical listening experience, to create the innovative, high performance cables and accessories that make Monster the leader in the industry.

Texas Nurse Acquitted of Felony Charge for Reporting Doctor
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
February 12, 2010
Feb. 12—A Kermit nurse did not commit a felony by reporting concerns about a doctor to the state medical board, a West Texas jury decided Thursday.
The jury of six men and six women deliberated for about one hour before reaching their verdict in a case that had drawn national attention. After the verdict was read, each of the jury members went over to the nurse and hugged her, courtroom observers said.
Texas nurses and association leaders said the verdict was a show of support for Texas nurses as those who are in the front lines of patient safety.
"It's wonderful news for us," said Clair Jordan, executive director of the Texas Nurses Association in Austin. Without such a vote of confidence, she said, "there would have been a chilling silencing of a very strong voice for patients."
The Texas regulatory boards for doctors and nurses had both admonished prosecutors for charging nurse Anne Mitchell.
Mitchell, who worked as the compliance officer for Winkler County Memorial Hospital, was charged with misuse of official information after she and another nurse, Vickilyn Galle, the hospital's quality improvement officer, reported their concerns about Dr. Rolando Arafiles Jr. to the Texas Medical Board.
Mitchell reported what she considered a pattern of improper prescribing and surgical procedures. The two nurses did not sign the letter. But after the medical board contacted Arafiles as part of its investigation, he turned to the Winkler County sheriff, who got a search warrant and seized the nurses' computers.
Had Mitchell been found guilty, nurses would have been hesitant to blow the whistle in cases that involved potential harm to patients, said Kathy Thomas, executive director of the Texas Board of Nursing.
The Texas Medical Board had told prosecutors that it was improper to put Mitchell on trial for reporting her concerns.
Sheriff Robert Roberts, a friend of Arafiles, said the nurses circumvented hospital policy for reporting bad medical practices because of what he called a personal vendetta against Arafiles. He also said that the nurses didn't seek patients' permission when they sent medical records of 10 patients to the board. The records did not include the patients' names.
The hospital fired both nurses.
Both were indicted for the felony charge, but the case against Galle was dropped before Mitchell went on trial.
Many nurses had complained that the case was retaliation for Mitchell's blowing the whistle on the doctor.
Laura Fletcher, a nurse and an optometrist in Bedford, said that "it's a travesty of our judicial system that medical professionals are being prosecuted for doing their job according to the law."
Nursing schools throughout the state have been using the case in their course studies with students, reminding them of the duty of every nurse to report possible wrongdoing.
The Texas code of ethics for nursing and the Texas Nursing Practices Act both say that it's a nurse's duty to report unsafe care, whether it's from a doctor or a pharmacist who prescribes the wrong type of medications.
But the prosecution tried to prove that Mitchell used confidential information to try to harm Arafiles. The Texas Medical Board, however, told the county and district attorneys that complaints it receives are confidential and that under federal law the board is exempt from patient privacy laws.
The medical board has not made a final determination in its investigation of the complaint. Arafiles is still practicing medicine, Jordan said.

Paterno kin: Victims not served by removing statue
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The family of late coach Joe Paterno says the removal of his statue from outside Penn State's football stadium "does not serve the victims" of the sex abuse scandal that has engulfed the university
A family statement issued Sunday only hours after the 7-foot-tall statue was removed said the only way to help victims was to "uncover the full truth."
The NCAA announced Sunday that it would be issuing sanctions against the university whose top officials were accused in a scathing report of burying child sex abuse allegations against now-convicted retired assistant Jerry Sandusky.
Family members said in the statement that the report by former FBI director Louis Freeh was "the equivalent of an indictment ... and an incomplete and unofficial one at that."

It goes without saying that "Creepshow" is one of the most popular horror anthologies around. It's definitely one of my go-to movies for the Halloween season. Director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King bring us 5 tales of terror in a tribute to the EC comics of the 1950's.
J. J. Abrams has a new project in his pocket and get this; it sounds weird! Who'd have guessed, right? This time around, he's tapping into the old make out game 7 Minutes in Heaven as two teens go into a closet to make out for five minutes, only to find all of their friends dead when they emerge.
If you're a horror blu-ray collector, you'll finally have a highly sought after title in your collection on August 31st. Details have emerged on "The Evil Dead" blu-ray release including two all new 1080p transfers and full 5.1 surround.
Need some vampire fiction in your life? Put down those sappy glitter novels, there's another author in town with some bona-fide street cred; Adrienne Barbeau has a fang story to tell you in "Love Bites", the sequel to her successful novel "Hollywood Vampyre".
Unless you've spent the last month in a cave, you're well aware that "Piranha 3D" is ready to infest theaters this week. In order to kick up their marketing once again, the cast of the movie has released a a new video to plead their case to the Academy on why the film should be nominated for an Oscar.
Do you remember that 80's nugget "Motel Hell"? You know, the one with the beef jerky? We'll never see a remake of that flick and that's okay. IDW Publishing is releasing a comic book version of the story to fill the void! Note: If you felt a void by the idea of no more "Motel Hell", you may want to see a doctor.
If there's one that I love almost as much as horror, it's cartoons! Sure, I could write off my love of the animated art form as a by-product of having a kid, but I like you readers. I really don't want to lie to you. I just love them. Blame Bugs Bunny!

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A Missouri gravesite honoring an American crew whose plane crashed during the Vietnam War was being unearthed Tuesday in an effort to finally identify whose remains are buried beneath the single tombstone, and who was left behind.
The remains of some but not all of the 10-man crew, whose plane crashed over a mountain jungle in Laos in 1969, were buried together nearly four decades ago at a site in Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery near St. Louis. After years of requests by relatives of the fallen crewmen, the remains are now being removed for DNA testing.
"It is our hope to soon provide much needed and long awaited closure for these families," said Maj. Tracy Bunko, a spokeswoman for Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations.
Military experts believe only five or maybe seven of the men's remains are buried at the gravesite, which is marked by a tombstone bearing the names of all 10 crewmen.
Paul Clever, whose father was among the killed airmen, has spent years researching the fatal mission and crash — including traveling to Laos last year with his wife — and believes the Air Force made a critical mistake by quickly listing the entire crew as killed in action. That, he said, hampered later efforts to recover the remains of his father, Staff Sgt. Louis Clever, and his fellow crewmen.
"They just conveniently accounted for them without the evidence," Clever said, adding that the plane's fuselage — where he believes some remains could have been found — wasn't recovered because it was deemed too risky. Clever said he was told it was hoisted into a truck by metal scavengers in 1982.
"Those remains are lost forever," he said.
But he graciously welcomed Tuesday's work at the cemetery and drove from his home in Memphis, Tenn., to watch the disinterment. Despite the agency's past mistakes, Clever credits the Defense Department for moving forward to try and identify the remains buried at Jefferson Barracks.
"When push came to shove today, people at the highest level said, 'We're going to make as much of this right as we can,'" Clever said. "Boy, isn't that a breath of fresh air?"
Bunko said DNA samples were taken from the men's relatives and will be compared to the remains during testing at a Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command lab in Delaware. She said it wasn't clear how long the testing could take.
But once the process is completed, she said, the Air Force would work with crewmen's families to honor and bury each man individually.
The crew's plane went down on Feb. 5, 1969. The wreckage wasn't found until three months later, and search crews were only able to find a few scattered skeletal remains that were later buried together in a single casket.
Clever said his father spent 13 years in the Air Force and that his final mission involved top-secret work intercepting radio signals.
He said the crew departed Pleiku in central Vietnam for Laos, just weeks before the before the second Tet Offensive, mounted chiefly by the North Vietnamese. Supplies were already moving along the Ho Chi Minh trail, creating a situation those in the plane knew was dangerous, Clever said.
"When they took off they knew they were going to a very bad place," Clever said. "They (the North Vietnamese) were protecting their line of logistics."
When the plane failed to land as scheduled at an airport in Vietnam, a search was launched. Nothing was found in the original six-day search — no one knows exactly why the plane crashed.
The other crewmen have been identified as the pilot, Lt. Col. Harry Niggle, a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam; co-pilot Maj. Homer Lynn; Maj. Robert Olson, a navigator; Capt. Walter Burke, a third pilot; Master Sgt. Wilton Hatton, the flight engineer; and four others: Staff Sgt. Hugh Sherburn, Staff Sgt. Rodney Gott, Sgt. Clarence McNeill and Sgt. James Dorsey Jr.
The military hasn't released details about the men.

So Dale, when do they start determining the makeup of the comet? And are they really just going to attempt to do that solely based on photographic reference, or is the orbiter probe thingee collecting any fragments or samples as well?
Deep Impact craft may get second mission:BOULDER, Colo., July 5 (UPI) -- Scientists were evaluating Tuesday whether the Deep Impact Flyby spacecraft is capable of embarking on a second comet interception. Jubilation over Monday's successful launch of an impactor device into the comet Tempel 1 turned to cold analysis for scientists at NASA and Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation in Boulder, Colo., which manufactured the two-part spacecraft.Ball Deputy Director of Programs in Civil Space Systems Monte Henderson told Space.com engineers were attempting to determine how much dust and debris from the collision hit the Flyby craft.If little damage has been done, Henderson said the craft could be redeployed to send it on a 3.5 year cruise to Comet Boethin, which orbits the Sun every 11 years. It was discovered Jan. 4, 1975, during a routine comet-hunting scan by the late Rev. Leo Boethin of the Philippines.Based on fuel and trajectory, the redirection would have to take place before July 24, Henderson said.
Russian astrologist sues NASA for Deep Impact.Russian astrologist Marina Bai has filed suit in a Moscow asking for 8.7 billion rubles (311 million U.S. dollars) because,she claims, the NASA Deep Impact mission damaged her business by altering her ability to provide accurate horoscopes, harmed her "system of spiritual values," and will "interfere with the natural life of the universe." "It is obvious that elements of the comet's orbit, and correspondingly the ephemeris, will change after the explosion, which interferes with my astrology work and distorts my horoscope," Bai was quoted in the daily newspaper, Izvestia. NASA has refuted similar accusations by pointing out that this impact is only a new addition to many previous collisions already on the comet. On July 4, NASA successfully crashed a probe into the Temple 1 comet in hopes the debris kicked up in the resulting explosion could shed light in the building blocks of the early solar system. The lawsuit, originally filed in June, has not yet been scheduled for an initial hearing, according to Russian authorities.

It wouldn't be fair to say that President Obama is dumb, but I think it is accurate to say that he is a goof. Thus his style, formerly described as analytical…cerebral…aloof…now appears deer-in-the-headlights clueless. The Drudge Report, in the unfair but funny style that it sometimes adopts, contrasts our President with Russia's de facto ruler:
That's unfair, but this isn't: why can't Obama be a man and admit that his predecessor, George Bush, deserves credit for the surge that has made possible the troop withdrawal for which Obama desperately takes credit? Byron York documents the Obama administration's contortions on Iraq:
At Monday's White House briefing, spokesman Robert Gibbs gave reporters a preview of President Obama's speech on Iraq. Obama will apparently take credit for withdrawing U.S. troops — "We are completing a drawdown of almost 100,000 troops that…many did not think was possible," Gibbs said — but is unlikely to acknowledge any special role played by George W. Bush's troop surge. …
"Does he believe that President Bush deserves any credit for the surge, laying the groundwork for troop withdrawal?" a reporter asked Gibbs.
"I'd point you to the many comments that the president has made throughout a number of years about the role that increasing the number of our troops has played, just as a Sunni Awakening has played, just as a better political environment has played," Gibbs said. "I think that the president will get a chance to talk about a lot of that."
Later, another reporter tried again. "Does the president believe the surge worked?"
"The president always believed that you would change part of the security situation by vastly increasing the number of troops," Gibbs said. "But again I think it was important — and the president was criticized for this throughout the campaign — and that is saying that we were not going to accomplish all of what needed to be done in Iraq simply militarily, that there had to be a political accommodation. We understand, again, that if you look at what happened with the Sunni Awakening, there were a whole host of factors that led us to a point in which the president can make good on his commitment to take almost 100,000 combat troops out of Iraq, to fundamentally change our mission in Iraq, to put the Iraqis in the lead for not just their security but their politics and their future. And I think that's what's ultimately tremendously important."
Later, another question: "Why not give President Bush credit for ordering the surge?"
"Again…I'd be happy to circulate the president's comments that go back to 2007 and go back to 2008 on this," Gibbs said.
Since Gibbs says it is important to examine Obama's old statements on the surge, there is this, from January 2007: "We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war," Obama said on CBS' Face the Nation. "And until we acknowledge that reality, we can send 15,000 more troops, 20,000 more troops, 30,000 more troops. I don't know any expert on the region or any military officer that I've spoken to privately that believe that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground."
A few months later, in July 2007, Obama told an audience in New Hampshire, "Here's what we know: the surge has not worked."
By January 2008, with the surge working, Obama revised his remarks at a debate in New Hampshire: "Now, I had no doubt — and I said at the time, when I opposed the surge, that given how wonderfully our troops perform, if we place 30,000 more troops in there, then we would see an improvement in the security situation and we would see a reduction in the violence."
One can debate whether Obama is a terrible President–I think he is–but I don't think anyone can deny that he is an unmanly jerk.

How to Replace the iPhone 3G Digitizer
A digitizer is a device used to translate standard analog information into computer-readable digital data. On the iPhone 3G the digitizer is connected to the glass touch screen and takes the information that is entered into the phone and converts it into something that the iPhone can understand. If you are experiencing trouble with the performance of your iPhone and want to replace the digitizer, you can do it yourself with a little bit of patience and a lot of care
- Things You'll Need: SIM removal tool, Jeweler's screwdriver, Suction cup, Heat gun, Tweezers, iPhone digitizer adhesive strips, 3G glass and digitizer
- Turn off the iPhone and remove the SIM card from the top of your iPhone with the SIM removal tool that came with your phone. Use a jeweler's screwdriver to remove the two tiny screws on the bottom of the phone
- Place a suction cup on top of the glass on the front of the iPhone and lift it up. Grasp the sides of the phone in order to allow the glass to lift up from the phone frame
- Swivel the glass and the screen upward to expose the three wires connecting them to the rest of the phone along the top edge. Pull out the wires labeled 1 and 2 to disconnect them
- Remove the wire labeled 3 by pushing the small latch holding it in place until the wire lifts away from the circuit board of the iPhone. Pull the glass and the screen away from the rest of the phone
- Pull the sides of the front piece away from the LCD screen and lift the screen out of the glass front. You will have to wiggle the screen a little to get it out of the clips holding it down
- Turn the front of the phone over so the Home button is facing up and the digitizer is on the underside and apply heat from the heat gun for 3 minutes all around the black edges. Avoid letting the heat get onto the Home button to prevent damaging it
- Pull the glass and the digitizer away from the plastic frame piece until they are completely separated. You can hold the frame with a towel as you remove the glass, as the pieces will be very warm from the heat gun
- Use your finger and tweezers to pull away any remaining glue or sticker adhesives that were left behind when you removed the glass and the digitizer
- Lay the new iPhone digitizer adhesive strips in place on the front of the plastic frame by peeling off the protective backing. You will see the cut-out shape of the strips and know which one goes on which end of the frame
- Smooth out the strips with tweezers to make sure there are no pockets of air and that the strips are placed straight on the frame
- Peel off the clear protective film along the top and bottom edges of the new glass on the front side. You should leave the rest of the film pieces in places to prevent fingerprints from getting on the glass
- Take off the remaining protective films from the adhesive strips using the tweezers to expose the sticky upper side
- Put the glass down on top of the frame, lining up the hole in the glass with the Home button. The digitizer should go through the frame and be on the underside while the glass rests on top of the frame touching the adhesive strips
- Take off the remaining film pieces from the new glass and replace the LCD screen onto the back of the plastic frame, behind the new glass
- Connect the wires from the screen back onto the phone in the reverse order that you removed them. Make sure the clip for wire 3 latches onto the phone, and then push in wires 2 and 1
- Press the plastic frame and the glass back down into the phone and replace the screws on the bottom. Check that the screen is firmly pressed down before the inserting the screws
- Put the SIM card back into the phone and restart the iPhone
Tips & Warnings:
- Aways buy the glass and the magnetizer together as they are very difficult to separate and work with individually
- Opening your iPhone may void your warranty if you are still covered by one
What is a Touch Screen Digitizer?
A touch screen digitizer is the part of a personal digital assistant (PDA), phone or monitor that allows you to touch the screen with a stylus or your finger and input data directly. You can touch icons to activate them, or you can even use handwriting recognition to input text on some touch screens. Others use virtual keyboards to input data. Using a stylus, which has a smaller and more precise tip than a finger, you are activating a much smaller area of the digitizer. This, in essence, gives you a finer line and the perception of more writing space.
- Input: The digitizer is a thin, clear film over your device's display that tells the device exactly where you have touched the screen. It is made of two layers of film that contain conductive points in them. They are held slightly apart by a thin, non-conductive mesh. When you press against the film, it completes a circuit where you touch and tells the device those coordinates
- Smartphones: The digitizer is the main or only input device for some of today's smartphones. Apple's iPhone and the Palm Pre are good examples of the use of a digitizer. Their highly graphic operating systems use various gestures or patterns of touch to mean different things. A touch and swipe to the side can turn a page or change screens while a tap can activate a function
- PDAs: Like smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) sometimes include a keypad, but more often rely heavily or completely on the touch screen digitizer for input. Windows Mobile and Palm devices both have methods of entering text into the device using the digitizer
- Text Entry by Gestures: The original Palm text entry system called Graffiti used gestures to decide what letters you were using and you had to learn to print the letters a certain way. A stroke down and a tap at the top created a lower-case 'i' on the screen. The Windows version uses a more sophisticated recognition system to find patterns that look like letters
- Point-of-Sale (POS) Applications: Point-of-sale (POS) applications are another broad area where touch screen digitizers are used. In this use, they are applied to a full-sized computer monitor to create a touch screen. The two films are larger and often not as precise as their smaller cousins on phones and PDAs. They are acting basically as the mouse in the POS application, so the clerk can press virtual buttons. The precision involved in handwriting recognition is not required in this application
How to Clean Touch Screen:
- Power off the touch-screen device
- Use distilled water or non-ammonia-based glass cleaner to dampen a soft, lint-free cloth
- Do not use a paper towel or bath towel which can scratch the touch screen
- Do not apply liquid directly to the touch screen--always apply it to the cloth. Make sure the cloth is damp but not wet
- Wipe the touch screen gently with the damp cloth to remove dust and oils
- Use a dry lint-free cloth to remove excess moisture from the screen if necessary
- It is now safe to power on the device
Package Included:
- 1 x LCD Touch Screen Glass Panel Digitizer for iPhone 3G
