Classes were canceled for students in all Marion county school districts on Tuesday because of a wintery blast that accumulated approximately nine inches of snowfall by 7:30 p.m.
Accordingly, school districts canceled Tuesday night basketball.
Marion High School's basketball games at Remington have been postponed until Monday, as well as Peabody-Burns High School's games at Elyria Christian School.
Goessel's games versus Little River were postponed until Feb. 13 while Centre's Tuesday night basketball games were tentatively rescheduled for Feb. 27.
No time has been set for Hillsboro versus Sterling games. Hillsboro also canceled school today, as did Marion, Peabody, Centre, and Goessel.
Tabor College also canceled classes for today.
Marion County Sheriff's Department said snowfall in most towns had close to nine inches in accumulation except for Durham, which had about 11½ inches.
The county courthouse and other county offices closed at 10 a.m. Tuesday after County Clerk Tina Spencer consulted with Sheriff Rob Craft and the county commission. County offices were also set to be closed today.
"There is a concern about the possibility of significant drifting," Spencer wrote in an email to county department heads.
Bud Druse with the county road department said that road crews were in "standby for emergency mode" as of Tuesday afternoon.
"If the police, fire department or ambulance need to get anywhere for an emergency we go out and clear those routes to make sure they can get there," he said.
With wind out of the north-east Druse said that all roads had the potential for a lot of drifting.
"Mother Nature is going to do what she's going to do," he said. "With snow sitting we are in big trouble if the wind kicks up."
Marion city electric superintendent Christian Pedersen said he called Westar on-call line to find out why there were so many lapses in power in Marion on Tuesday and was informed that there was a problem with a capacitor at the power plant.
A number of people were out clearing snow from the sidewalks Tuesday morning on Main St. in Marion.
Merrill Schmidt was getting a jump on shoveling in front of Great Plains Computers because he said it makes shoveling easier later.
At Central National Bank Todd Heidschmidt was operating a snow blower.
"I like it better than the manual way," Heidschmidt said. "This way is kind of fun."
City street crew foreman Jeff Harper said that the majority of Marion city workers were also waiting for the snow to stop.
However, some city trucks were keeping routine emergency routes to St. Luke Hospital clear, as well as the main roads leading into and out of town.
Harper said he planned to use a blade attachment that he repurposed from used materials for the city's new front loader.
"I used an old blade we had laying around and built the frame to fit the loader," Harper said. "A normal blade puts the snow in a windrow. This is like a bulldozer blade only with sides, so it boxes up the snow in front of the machine."
Harper said with it snow could then be pushed into intersections for easy removal. The blade can also be detached from inside the cab so the machine operator can hook up other blade attachments.
Postal carrier Ginger Whitney also was out in the elements. She said she is usually comfortable in snow once she gets going, despite walking her whole route.
"I like the snow, but it's just a lot out here," she said. "But if you dress warm it's not bad."
Whitney said the biggest help comes from homes that shovel walkways for carriers whether it is just the steps or the path where they walk.
"That helps tremendously," she said.
According to the National Weather Service cold conditions will continue the rest of the week with highs around 8 degrees Fahrenheit. Figuring in wind chill temperatures it will feel below 0. Once the snow ends, it will remain chilly. North winds should pick up and temperatures will dip to about 5 to 0 degrees.
Today, winds should continue but subside a bit in the afternoon. Wind chills will likely be below 0 all day.
Chilly weather will continue on Thursday, Friday, and into Saturday, as will the potential for snow. A storm may bring in light to moderate accumulation on Friday and Saturday.

Columbia player charged with hate crime
New York, NY – A Columbia University football player has been charged with a hate crime after allegedly assaulting another student and using racial slurs.
Chad Washington, a 19-year-old sophomore defensive lineman from Oakland, Calif., was charged with misdemeanor aggravated harassment as a hate crime. He was arraigned Wednesday and released without bail.
Police said Washington, who the Ivy League university lists as 6-foot-4, 242 pounds, followed the victim from his dorm room early Sunday, pushed him against a wall, grabbed him by the collar, yelled racial slurs and threatened him.
Washington is African-American; the alleged victim is of Asian descent.
Washington's lawyer, Daniel Fetterman, told NBC News the allegations don't reflect what happened.

World's 100 richest gained $241B last year
Their collective net worth stood at $1.9 trillion at the end of 2012, Bloomberg calculates.
The planet's 100 richest people piled on $241 billion to their combined net worth of $1.9 trillion in 2012, Bloomberg reports.
As 77% of American households face higher payroll taxes in 2013, the new year will continue to tilt toward the wealthy.
"Last year was a great one for the world's billionaires," said John Catsimatidis, who owns the oil-and-gas conglomerate Red Apple Group. "In 2013, they will continue looking for investments around the world — and not necessarily in U.S. — that will give them an advantage."
According to Bloomberg's daily ranking of the richest 100, only 16 netted a loss in 2012. Fortune smiled broadly on fortunes in retail and telecommunication, which averaged 20% gains.
Who came out on top? Amancio Ortega, the "mysterious" founder of the Spanish clothing retailer Inditex SA. His $22.2 billion piggy bank fattened up to $57.5 billion.
Bloomberg's index uncovered 54 "hidden" billionaires, including the fourth-richest woman in America, Elaine Tettemer Marshall, 70, of Dallas. She was worth $14.1 billion in 2012, thanks to her 14.6% ownership of privately held Koch Industries, the Kansas-based multinational conglomerate controlled by Charles and David Koch.

I'm getting ready for Zaggi Combat at the Lawrencetown Slope. Now, I don't want to scare anyone, but I'm quite excited about this, and feel quite certain that I will be undefeated and will rein as King of the Slope! Not even Rick will stand a chance against my new wing! I had to bring my custom made combat wing in from overseas and yes, it did cost me an arm and a leg. I have included a photo of it here, taken in the Fairview Terminal. BRING IT ON!
ahemm... I'm not really sure what this is, but it did look photo worthy!

Super Healthy Monsters is a Sesame Street mini-series that debuted in June 2012. The 5 to 7-minute series focuses on activities and foods that keep one healthy. Sesame Workshop produced 26 episodes in English, which initially aired dubbed in Spain on Antena 3 as a Barrio Sésamo mini-series called "Monstruos Supersanos." Around 2011, the segments were also released in Latin America.[1]
Each episode featured framing scenes starring Elmo, followed by newly produced Muppet sketches and on-location film pieces. The film segments aren't retained in airings outside of Spain.
Excerpts from each episode are also available in the Antena 3 webpage, as well as a series of videos with Elmo and Spanish celebrities, such as singer David Bustamante, host Susanna Griso, chef Ferran Adrià and football player Gerard Piqué.
The series features main Sesame Street characters Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster, Rosita, Ernie, Bert, Abby Cadabby and a new Muppet character, Dr. Ruster.
International airings
Select segments have since been incorporated into Sesamstrasse, Plaza Sésamo, Sesamstraat, and Sezamkowy Zakątek as stand-alone Muppet pieces. The episodes also began airing in Dutch as Super Gezonde Monsters, featuring additional material to extend the shows to a 10-minute running time. The episodes of the show has also been dubbed for the Catalan dub Barrí Sésam. The episodes have also been incorporated into the episodes of the 2015 revival of Iftah Ya Simsim.
Some segments were released in their original English on the 2013 C is for Cooking DVD, and a program using the segments was tested in New York City. In 2014, Sesame Workshop announced they would expand the program domestically.[1]

Mathematics is a major achievement of the human mind, a subject with its own structure and elegance, worthy of pursuit for its own sake. On the other hand, mathematics has always been used to help us understand the world and the society in which we live, and with the development of the computer, applications of the mathematical methods of thought have become even more prominent.
At Beloit, we respect and teach both aspects of mathematics. The structure and intellectual appeal of mathematical ideas is central to our courses and curriculum. We stress the relationship of mathematical thinking to other fields of intellectual and practical endeavor. We emphasize the importance of clear and careful expression to mathematical reasoning; our courses involve practice in writing, giving oral presentations, and working on projects as part of a team.
The Major
Most students begin their mathematics course of study with calculus—the quantitative study of change and the mathematical ideas for describing it. Calculus is the cornerstone of further explorations in mathematics. In addition to teaching the fundamental concepts and technical aspects of the subject, we pay particular attention to its historical dimension, to those who developed the subject, and why it mattered to them.
The sophomore year is designed to give students a sense of contemporary mathematics. Normally one course in each term will be chosen from linear algebra, discrete mathematics, differential equations, vector calculus, and probability and statistics. During the junior and senior years, students continue to broaden their mathematical knowledge while pursuing some advanced topics in depth.
Mathematics majors participate in the department's weekly mathematics colloquium, an event that begins with informal interaction between faculty and students and is followed by a mathematical lecture given by a visitor, faculty member, or advanced student. Apart from regularly offered courses, students also have the option of independent study or supervised research in areas of faculty expertise in which we do not usually offer courses.
Professional Exploration
The faculty of the mathematics department make a special effort to develop internship opportunities for mathematics majors and to encourage students to take advantage of such opportunities. Notable opportunities of this sort have included government-sponsored undergraduate research at national laboratories, software conversion, oceanographic research, statistical quality control, database programming, and management training.
Mathematics majors go in many different directions after leaving Beloit. Some go on to graduate school in mathematics; those who have a second major often continue in that field, given advantage by their work in mathematics. Universities entered by recent graduates include Chicago, Duke, Iowa, Michigan, Purdue, SUNY at Stony Brook, and Wisconsin, as well as the University of Chicago for business; Johns Hopkins University for astronomy; and UCLA for anthropology.
Other recent graduates have taken jobs in utility and insurance rate-making, operations research for a trucking firm, household energy modeling for the National Bureau of Standards, engineering flight simulators for the U.S. Air Force, high school and grade school teaching, and all kinds of computer work.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Development Review Board (DRB) next week will draft a final list of requirements the developers of a proposed Staples will have to fulfill if they hope to get the green light to build the 14,600-square-foot office supplies store in The Centre shopping plaza off Route 7 South.
Those requirements, according to DRB Chairman John Barstow, may include a "master plan" depicting The Centre and its relationship with, and impact on, neighboring properties; an agreement between the developer (Middlebury Associates, aka Myron Hunt Inc.) and adjacent property owners on links between their respective parking lots to improve traffic flow in and out of The Centre; and landscaping, traffic island and crosswalk upgrades to improve pedestrian safety in The Centre.
Members of the DRB, during a three-hour hearing on the project on Monday, also asked Chris Hunt of Middlebury Associates to request that Staples slightly alter the location of the proposed store. Instead of having it built directly next to Hannaford Supermarket, some DRB members would prefer to see the store moved slightly south within The Centre, on land that is currently used for parking. DRB officials argued the lost parking spaces could be replaced on the spot currently being eyed for the store. They also argued that modifying the design of the store and bringing it slightly forward would give The Centre buildings a horseshoe-type configuration with a courtyard-style parking area that would be more visually pleasing and potentially safer for pedestrians.
Barstow cited the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, located across the street from The Centre, as an example of a company that ultimately agreed to forego prototype franchise architecture to meet the town regulations on architectural aesthetics.
"Nothing is impossible," he said.
ADDISON COUNTY — There's good news and bad news for Addison County farmers.
The good news is that milk prices have continued to remain strong, giving dairies a good return on their products.
The bad news is that skyrocketing production costs — particularly in the areas of fuel and feed — have all but negated the more robust return for milk.
"The price of milk and the price of inputs are not balancing," said Addison County Farm Bureau President Bill Scott. "The cost of fertilizer has doubled, grain prices are way up and freight hauling is going to be up also because of the cost of diesel fuel.
"It's the same old story," he added. "Everyone is caught up in the cost squeeze, even though the price of milk is up."
Bob Wellington, senior vice president economics, communications, and legislative affairs with Agri-Mark/Cabot, forecast a June blend price of $19.40 per hundredweight for milk, up around $1 compared to the May price. He projects another $1 bump in price for July.
It should be noted that the $19.40 represents the price in Boston; Vermont farmers, when factoring in transportation costs for their project, can expect to receive $18.50 to $19 per hundredweight, according to Wellington. He said the firm June price should be released next week.
The problem for many farmers is that even with milk prices now at around $6 per hundredweight more than three years ago, it's still not enough to keep some farmers afloat.
"Vermont farmers need prices above $20 (per hundredweight) to cover all of their costs, because feed costs are so outrageous, and energy costs," Wellington said. "It's a real problem for farmers."

BRISTOL — Four weeks after a catastrophic, 40-foot fall from the roof of a Middlebury Main Street business, Robert Demic — the patient doctors are calling the "miracle man" — is looking forward to dancing his way back onto Addison County stages in a year's time.
"I'll be tap dancing in a year," said 54-year-old Demic. "That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
Demic tumbled over 40 feet from the roof of Wild Mountain Thyme on June 9 after being knocked from his feet by what he believes was some sort of electrical shock. He was on the roof taking photographs of work he had completed for the business's owner, Paula Israel. The camera dropped to the roof approximately 15 feet from the roof's edge — exactly where Demic was standing at the time of what he believes was a massive shock.
"My memory is of being totally surprised, that I got blown backwards," Demic said.
Israel, who was in her shop at the time, said she felt the building shake and heard "a big thump" — a sound she and Demic believe to have been his body hitting the roof, after which his body continued over the building's edge.
Demic landed feet-first in a small patch of mud on the bank of Otter Creek behind the building close to the falls. When he came to, he said, he was disoriented but soon noticed his right leg was badly mangled and bleeding. He recalled struggling into the Otter Creek, which runs alongside the building, to wash away the blood from his leg — still dazed and partially incoherent.

The fog from the smoke machine is especially thick this Easter morning in Colorado Springs. Green lasers dance across the stage and over the thousands gathered, making no discernible pattern as they slice into the fog. The service this morning is at a fever pitch. A sprawling praise band populates the stage: guitarists and singers, a cellist, a horn section, a dj and turntable, percussionists of various sorts, a keyboardist, a pianist, and a full choir. It's a lot of sound, a lot of light—a lot of a lot.
A lot is the way Easter is announced at New Life Church. You take your standard megachurch service, and you turn it up all the way.
The year is 2006, and New Life has never basked in a brighter spotlight. Ted Haggard, who founded the nondenominational church in his basement in 1984, has been president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) for two years, and he's leveraged the position into a formidable platform. Hardly a Sunday goes by without media—tv and newspaper reporters, documentary filmmakers—roaming the building, or without Haggard delivering a tale of expanding influence. He recounts a conversation with a heady politician, or an interview with a cable news talking head, that lets him redefine the evangelical stance-qua-Haggard on whatever issues are making headlines that week: abortion (con), the environment (pro), immigration (pro), same-sex marriage (con), the war efforts in Afghanistan (pro), and Iraq (super-pro).
Those far outside New Life have taken notice. A year earlier in Harper's, journalist Jeff Sharlet christened it the "nation's most powerful megachurch," observing that "no pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction ...1

SACRAMENTO–California officials overseeing construction of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge agreed this year to pay a public relations company nearly $10 million for services the administration of Gov. Jerry Brown says it knew nothing about, including hundreds of thousands of dollars to conduct tours and produce a video and commemorative book.
The administration said Wednesday that it has ordered the contract's cancellation, after the California Department of Transportation provided records of the contract to The Sacramento Bee at the newspaper's request.
The public relations company, San Francisco-based Words Pictures Ideas LLC, had performed similar work for the state under a separate contract long before the most recent contract was awarded.
"When we found out about it, we canceled it," said Jim Evans, a spokesman for the state Business, Transportation & Housing Agency, which oversees Caltrans. "A commemorative book and a documentary about the Bay Bridge is not a wise use of tollpayer resources."
In addition to typical public relations duties, including community outreach and interaction with the media, Words Pictures Ideas, doing business as MegaProject Studios, was expected to produce "a documentary video and book to highlight and document all events leading up to the opening celebrations," according to a contract document.
The contract was signed by Caltrans in August and approved by the state Department of General Services on Sept. 4.
Evans called the contract "excessive" and said it "wasn't properly vetted at Caltrans headquarters." He said the contract was approved by a district supervisor, Bijan Sartipi, and that the agency is preparing to issue a directive "clarifying that contracts of this magnitude may not be approved at the district level."
Evans said it is unclear what magnitude of contract will trigger a review but that it will be "significantly lower than this contract."
Caltrans officials said Sartipi was in meetings and unavailable Wednesday, and they referred questions to Evans.
The money involved is a tiny fraction of the $6.4 billion project, which is scheduled to open next year.
Dan McNichol, who calls himself an "award winning journalist" on his website, was referred to by Words Pictures Ideas as the "East Span Narrative Writer," at a proposed cost of $46,196 over the term of the contract.
The contract also included $500,000 for book printing.
McNichol, a former spokesman for the Big Dig infrastructure project in Boston, wrote a book about that project, among others.
In a previous Caltrans contract, in which Words Pictures Ideas was a subcontractor, the company billed the state for more than $114,000 in work it said McNichol did as a writer from March to August.
In its most recent project proposal, the company wrote, "Creating a holistic, all-encompassing narrative of the project's history, milestones, tribulations and monumental achievements is an essential component of capturing and preserving the seismic retrofit's legacy."
In the contract proposal, Words Pictures Ideas said it was familiar with the Bay Bridge project, with many employees having worked on it since 2005.
"Since then, we've been in the trenches: responding, innovating, recommending, advising, following when needed, leading when possible through the good days and bad, the moments of crisis and the moments of celebration," the company wrote.
The company also oversees tours of the construction site, which it described as "one of the most effective and popular ways to showcase the project, and educate stakeholders."

Governor Cuomo Announces Buffalo Bills Lease Approved by ESD Board of Directors and Erie County Stadium Corporation
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the Empire State Development (ESD) Board of Directors has approved the adoption of the general project plan for renovations at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park and extension of the current lease with the Buffalo Bills. The Erie County Stadium Corporation (ECSC), a subsidiary of ESD, met yesterday and recommended its approval to the Board. These approvals signal another step toward finalizing the terms of the deal into a formal 10-year lease. In December 2012, Governor Cuomo announced that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) had been signed setting forth the basic terms of an agreement to keep the Bills in Buffalo.
The State remains committed to keeping the Bills in Buffalo, Governor Cuomo said. The approvals by the Erie County Stadium Corporation and Empire State Development mark further progress in finalizing the agreement that we reached last year, so that this iconic team stays in the community a victory for fans and the Western New York economy.
This approval is another step forward, said Erie County Stadium Corporation Chairman and Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Kenneth Adams. The votes by the Erie County Stadium Corporation and Empire State Development are a demonstration of the States and the countys commitment to the Bills continued presence in our community for years to come, and to creating jobs and economic activity.
I am pleased that the Erie County Stadium Corporation and Empire State Development met and approved the basic terms of the new 10-year lease, said Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz. These approvals clear away another hurdle as we move towards ensuring that the Bills continue to be a vital part of our community for many years to come.
Adoption of the General Project Plan is the first step in the legal process for approving the new lease. Additional approvals are needed by ECSC, ESD, and Erie County, as well as the NFL owners, before execution of the legal documents can be completed. The deal is expected to close as planned in late March. The States share of the renovation work is included in Governor Cuomos proposed 2013-14 Executive Budget, which will need approval from the State Legislature.
The MOU signed by the Governor, the Buffalo Bills and Erie County includes a commitment from the Bills to stay in Buffalo for at least the next seven years and $130 million in upgrades to Ralph Wilson Stadium. The agreement also includes the creation of a New Stadium Working Group and Fund to explore the potential for constructing a new professional sports stadium in Western New York in the future.

Otherwise, he offered to return later in the day. Since I wasn't sure, I asked him to send a photo of the plant at the doorway. He was very patient and kind and actually sent several photos to my phone. I decided to allow him to leave the plant at the doorway after he assured me that the weather would be fine to leave the plant outside for about 4 hours. The dish garden in a beautiful basket exceeded my expectations! The flowering plants were fresh and cheery and were artistically arranged with the healthy green plants. My friend, who was grieving the loss of her mother, was so delighted to see such a beautiful gift at her doorway. Her spirits were truly lifted! I highly recommend this company.

Republicans and anti-science ignorance: Nature editorial
Nature, the science magazine, wrote a scathing editorial in 2011, called Into Ignorance. It describes the increasingly anti-science Republican attitude exhibited in pushing their bill to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse-gas emissions, which the agency declared on the basis of reliable scientific evidence to be a threat to public welfare in 2009.
The Science editorial says: "...Republicans on the House of Representatives' energy and commerce committee have made clear their disdain for climate science. At a subcommittee hearing on 14 March, anger and distrust were directed at scientists and respected scientific societies. Misinformation was presented as fact, truth was twisted and nobody showed any inclination to listen to scientists, let alone learn from them."
Republicans increasingly rely on pseudo-scientific fallacies instead of science. For example, this old contrarian/denier canard was trotted out at the hearing: "Melting ice caps on Mars serve to counter evidence of anthropogenic warming on Earth." This is nonsense - see HERE for a reliable analysis.
1. The House hearing:
HERE is the transcript of live coverage of the above hearing including analysis by the climate scientist Gavin Schmidt along with the reporter for Science Magazine Eli Kintisch.
HERE are links to the talks presented at the hearing.
HERE is the web cast of the hearing.
2. Here is the EPA's detailed scientific documentation with a summary rejecting fallacious contrarian/denier arguments used to attack the EPA.
3. HERE is the analysis from Science Progress entitled: House Energy and Commerce Committee Votes for Science Denial; Republican-Controlled Committee Legislates That Climate Change Does Not Exist
4. HERE is more information about contrarian/denier pseudo-science, plus a guide to contrarians is HERE.

The Room
Friday, June 21
1hr 30mins // directed by:Tommy Wiseau // featuring:Tommy Wiseau
Midnite crowds have flocked to attend this show due to its "so amazingly bad it's [spooning] great" charms.
The Room's director, producer and leading man is the mysterious Tommy Wiseau. In the film, Tommy portrays "Johnny", a man who becomes involved in a love triangle when the woman he loves begins sleeping with another man. Johnny is also the mentor of a drug dealing man child, a dog aficionado and possesses an alarmingly unnerving giggle.
Kept as an L.A. secret for half of a decade, The Room has now found its way to the east coast and we here at the Coolidge are bewildered to still be presenting it in all its... uh... publishable words escape us.

In a post on her blog, Hudgens writes, "It's been a while since I've released a track, so I'm so excited to share this with y'all (sic)! Last night I spent some time recording in the studio w/ (with producing team) Rock Mafia & YLA!
"The song's inspired by Spring Breakers!! Here it is: $$$ex – Vanessa Hudgens feat (featuring) YLA!!"

WASHINGTON, May 1, 2007---The Board of Trustees of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has selected thirteen individuals who have performed notable service to the profession of landscape architecture to receive honorary membership in the organization.

Jefferson Ward strolled into The Hook offices a year ago with an inspirational tale about himself. He said he was a former UVA football player who had overcome cancer against serious odds.
Only Ward, who was actually 10 years older than the 34 he claimed to be, not only never played football for UVA, but his real name is Jeffrey, not Jefferson, according to family members.
Ward's latest media coverage is even less inspiring. On December 27, he was arrested and is being held without bond in Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail on charges of drugging and raping an acquaintance.
The woman claimed that she ran into Ward at Club 216, according to a police search warrant affidavit. In the early hours of December 27, she says, he invited her to his apartment for a "party" at which she was the only guest.
Ward offered the woman what he said was Ecstasy, a drug she "willfully ingested," according to the affidavit. After taking the substance, the woman "began to feel funny." She told police she'd taken Ecstasy before, but the drug Ward offered did not have the same effect.
When she awakened, she found her clothes in disarray and Ward having sex with her. The woman claims she tried to get him to stop and attempted to hit him with her right hand, but because she was incapacitated from the substance he'd given her, her attempt was "ineffective," the search warrant affidavit states. She passed out again with Ward continuing to have intercourse with her.
The woman told police that at no time did she discuss, consent, or expect to have sexual intercourse with Ward, that she did not want to have sex with him, and that she tried to get him to stop.
Police arrested Ward around 10pm December 27. Among items removed from his Wertland Street apartment were a bottle of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, a silver and glass smoking device, a slipcover and seat cushions from a loveseat, and two plastic pill bottles.
Police decline to comment on what drug Ward allegedly may have given the woman, but Rohypnol, known as "roofies," is a drug used in date rapes because it sedates, relaxes muscles, impairs psychomotor responses, and may cause amnesia.
The rape is not the only felony charge Ward faces. At the time of the alleged assault he was free on $7,500 bond from a July 9 felonious assault charge for allegedly hitting a man in the head with a bottle at the U-4 lot on Wertland Street. And he has a long list of bad check charges pending in Charlottesville General District Court.
Ward's attorney in the public defender's office did not return calls by press time.
Mac Sloan, manager of Sloan's, where Ward briefly worked, is one of those trying to collect on a bad check. "The first day I met him, I knew he was a bad egg," says Sloan.
A policeman for 30 years, Sloan says he's not surprised by the rape charge. In fact, he'd called police because of Ward's resemblance to a composite drawing of the serial rapist.
Police say Ward is not a suspect in those assaults. "I am absolutely certain he's not connected with the serial rapist," says Sergeant Richard Hudson of the Charlottesville police.
DJ Rushhour is out $300 because Ward paid him by check for an event Ward organized at the Garden of Sheba restaurant and dance venue around Thanksgiving. Rushhour says the check was written on a closed account.
"I can see how you could misjudge how much money is in your checking account, but to write a check on a closed account?" he asks.
Rushhour was surprised about the rape charge. "I could see him writing bad checks, but I didn't think I'd see him on TV for sexual assault," he says.
Ward enjoyed a brief career as DJ Twist on WNRN, where he had worked once a week for the past six months.
"He has a compulsion to fabricate," observes WNRN general manager Mike Friend. "He's a bullshit artist... and he moves right in on somebody's female."
Friend describes how Ward told him he used to work at WHUR at Howard University. "They'd never heard of him," says Friend. "He can barely run the board here at the radio station, and I could tell from the kind of questions he asked that he'd never worked in radio before."
Nevertheless, Friend calls Ward's improvement over three months "impressive." But don't expect to hear him on the air anytime soon. "This is a serious charge," says Friend. "We need to let the legal system go ahead." Then there is the fact that Ward's in jail without bond.
"I guess every small town has one ne'er-do-well," muses Friend. "You have to wonder why he's still in Charlottesville. You'd think he'd be somewhere bigger where everybody doesn't know him."
But, adds Friend, "He's not unlikable. Most con artists aren't."
Another WNRN DJ, Jaz Tupelo, is not impressed by Ward's affability.
"I don't trust him any farther than I can spit, and I haven't from day one," she declares.
Jefferson Ward
Many people thought this early composite sketch of the serial rapist resembled Jefferson Ward, but police say Ward, who's been charged in a December 27 rape, is not a suspect in those assaults.

I am going to guess that it is "Three Minutes Happines" store in Shibuya:Three Minutes Happiness With such low price tags on everything, it's easy to go a bit crazy at this two-story discount shop. Highlights include loads of affordable clothing, a towering bin of cute $2-per-pair underwear, and a bounty of bright hand towels (there are no towels in public restrooms, so everyone carries a reusable one). 3-5 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, 03-5459-1851

All references to the "PC3" apply equally to both the PC3 and X-Pro models.
When in Program Edit, the PC3 allows you to temporarily disable all sounding effects for that program just by pressing the front-panel Effect button (also labeled FX Bypass). This is a great way to quickly hear what the dry unprocessed program sounds like minus all its applied effects.
When working with effects Chains though, it can also be useful to be able to disable a particular effects process within a Chain of effects so you can better hear the result that one effect is imparting.
To do so is equally simple: when you're editing a Program's effects chain (EditChain:Main),
...select any of the boxes you wish to mute and hit the front panel "Effect" mode button. That box is now temporarily muted. The Effect button's LED will light up to indicate its status (red=muted; dim=active).
To unmute, press the Effect button again.
You can do this independently for every box in the chain. When a muted box is selected, the Effect button's LED will light up. By doing so, you can isolate (or solo) a given effect or combination of effects to better audition things.

License Management
Use of the T-VEC toolset is controlled through license management. A valid license is required to operate the tools. T-VEC generates and distributes license keys based on the number of licenses purchased. Each T-VEC tool has a specific license key.
Licenses are managed as node-locked or floating. Node-locked licenses allow operation of the tools on a single specific machine, while floating licenses allow shared concurrent operation of the tools among a group of networked machines. The floating licenses limit the number of machines using the tools concurrently to the number of licenses purchased.
Floating licenses are more flexible as they allow multiple users to share the licenses. For example, two licenses could support five developers as long as only two developers require access to the tools concurrently. Floating licenses can be shared across LANs and WANs.
Floating licenses require the installation of a license manager server to control license usage on the network. The T-VEC toolset uses license management software called FlexLM to implement its licensing.
Obtaining Licenses
License keys are distributed in license files by T-VEC Support. The license file is a simple text file that contains details about each license key. To obtain licenses, contact Support with the target machine's name and hostid.
For node-locked licenses, submit the hostid of the machine running the tools. For floating licenses, submit the hostid of the machine acting as the license server.
Obtaining a Machine's Hostid
A machine's hostid is a unique identifier for that machine. Typically, the machine's hostid is the machine's ethernet address. In rare situations, the machine's hard disk identifier is used as the hostid.
Hostids On Windows
To obtain the hostid on a Windows machine, open a command window (DOS window) and execute the command
ipconfig /all
You should see something like:
The hostid is the Physical Address (e.g. 00-11-22-AB-DC-33)
Installing Licenses
T-VEC support typically distributes licenses keys via email in a license file. The license file must be installed in a location accessible to the machine using the license.
Installing a Node-Locked License
The standard location for the license file is in the license directory located in the T-VEC installation. Generally, this file is named license.dat and is located as follows:
The license file's name and location are not important, but they must be identified to the tools. If the license file is installed in the default location (license directory of T-VEC installation), the T-VEC tools will locate the file automatically. Otherwise, the location of the license file must be identified to the tools.
Specifying License File Location
The location of a license file is specified with the T-VEC License Configuration Tool. Start the License Configuration Tool through Start -> T-VEC -> Utilities -> T-VEC License Config.
Specify the location of the license file through the System or User Settings and click the Set button. Setting the value at the System level applies the value for all users and requires Administrator privileges to set. Applying the value at the User level applies the value only for the current user.
Verifying the license configuration.
The version command in the T-VEC console tool attempts to check out a license after displaying version information. This is a convenience mechanism for verifying license configuration. The version command is specified as follows:
t_vec -version
The output produced by the tool is similar to the following example:
T-VEC Console Tool 3.8.0 Copyright 1996-2008 T-VEC Technologies, Inc. Licensed To: User: User Name Company: T-VEC Installation: 20-4-2008 11:29:3 License File: (T-VEC Specific) C:\T-VEC\license\license.dat (Environment) Value Not Set T-VEC Version 3.3.0 (build 1573) for Windows NT4, 2000, XP T-VEC Compiler 8.3.0 (verified) T-VEC Vector Generator 10.3.0 (verified) T-VEC Coverage Analyzer 4.0.0 (verified) T-VEC Inference Engine 10.1.0 (verified) T-VEC Mapper Generator 2.0.0 (verified) T-VEC Vector Formatter 5.1.0 (verified) T-VEC Test Driver Generator 3.0.2 (verified) T-VEC Cross Comparator 3.0.0 (verified) T-VEC API 3.1.2 (verified) Specification Parser 3.0.0 (verified) Knowledgebase Parser 3.0.0 (verified) Test Vectors Parser 3.0.0 (verified) Mapper Parser 3.0.0 (verified) Requesting license...granted
The final line in the output indicates whether a license was successfully checked out.
Problems or Issues
License server issues may require specific ports to be opened when firewalls are in place. Port 27000 is the primary port, but it may be necessary to open ports 27000 and 27007.
Reference Material
System administrators may be familiar with the Flexlm license management system, but support information can be found at Flexlm User Guide or at the Flexlm Support Website

text: Vancouverite Colleen Rennison's readings of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Robbie Robertson and others often conjure a sweeter, gentler Joplin and, as any good cover version should, frequently puts a new spin on them. A natural country balladeer, Ms. Rennison lets on to her obvious power in an appealingly measured manner, charging songs such as Tom Ghent's "Whiskey, Whiskey" and Sarah Harmer's "Oleander" with a compelling, just-under-the-surface emotional current. Other tracks of note include Robertson's "All La Glory", Tom Russell's "Blue Wing", and the Bobbie Gentry gem "Fancy".

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Safety Dwight Lowery is back in the starting lineup for the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing five games with a foot injury.
Lowery is active for Sunday's game against Tennessee, a good sign for a defense that allowed 527 yards passing last week at Houston.
The Jaguars are without cornerback William Middleton, running back Maurice Jones-Drew, fullback Greg Jones, safety Chris Harris, guard Steve Vallos and defensive tackles D'Anthony Smith and Jeris Pendleton. Middleton (concussion), Jones-Drew (foot) and Jones (foot) were ruled out Friday.
The Titans are without quarterback Rusty Smith, running back Jamie Harper, safety Al Afalava, linebacker Xavier Adibi, offensive tackle Byron Stingily, receiver Lavelle Hawkins and defensive tackle DaJohn Harris. Adibi (knee), Harper (ankle), Hawkins (ankle) and Stingily (back) had been questionable.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has apologised to both the English and Mexican Football Associations over the botched decisions to disallow Frank Lampard's goal against Germany and then allow Carlos Tevez's opening goal for Argentina against El Tri later that same day – despite the Manchester City striker being offside by a country mile.
Blatter also revealed that his organisation (written in the loosest of terms) will re-think it's stance on the introduction of goal-line technology – yep, you heard that right!
The 74-year-old told a media briefing in Joburg yesterday;
"It is obvious that after the experience so far in this World Cup it would be a nonsense to not reopen the file of technology at the business meeting of the International FA Board in July.
Personally I deplore it when you see evident referee mistakes but it's not the end of a competition or the end of football, this can happen.
The only thing I can do is yesterday I have spoken to the two federations [The English and Mexican Football Associations] directly concerned by referees mistakes. I have expressed to them apologies and I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising.
We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology and have first opportunity in July at the business meeting."
Personally, I'll believe it when I see it!

Was 8-weeks old when he arrived on the Yale scene. Pure white puppy. Died at age two while wintering in Florida. Firecrackers set off at the Yale-Harvard game in Cambridge obviously hastened his death....while others contend he couldn't handle the novel experience of watching the blue football team lose to both Princeton and Harvard in the same season.
