A wonderful collaboration
HTIBs (Home Theater In a Box) are great because they allow you to outfit your living room with a full-fledged speaker setup for one low price. There's no need to hunt down individual parts, worry about matching pieces, and try to wade through spec sheets to figure out what you need. But, most HTIBs are made by companies that focus on either receivers or speakers. As such, they're not necessarily as well-rounded as you might like your setup to be. That problem is a thing of the past with the DHT-1312BA. This package is a collaboration between Denon (known for their high-quality receivers) and Boston Acoustics (a well-regarded speaker specialist). With the combination of a Denon receiver and Boston speaker set, you get the best of both ends of the spectrum. And it's just as convenient, easy, and affordable as other HTIBs. So what are you waiting for? Turn your entertainment console into a full-fledged home theater today with the DHT-1312BA!
What's in the box?
Included with purchase is the Denon AVR-1312 receiver, Boston Acoustics MCS 160 surround speaker system (4 satellite speakers, center speaker, and powered subwoofer), getting started guide, owner's manual CD-ROM, warranty card, service network list, RC-1158 remote control, 2 AAA batteries for remote, AM loop antenna, FM indoor antenna.

Washington Times Herald
Employees at the Washington Gibco shop on Cosby Road woke to an erroneous media report Friday their shop was closing and 150 employees had lost their jobs.
The report, made by Washington radio station WAMW-AM and FM, was false.
"We are not ceasing operations," Gibco owner Larry Meeks said. "I don't know where this information came from." The information was reported that employees were surprised to learn the Washington shop was shutting down and 150 employees were losing their jobs.
The truth, Meeks said, is the company is idling some of its coal hauling operation due to slowdowns at local mines.
He said eight drivers and two mechanics were given opportunities to work at other Gibco locations, like Sullivan or the Evansville shop.
The drivers are thinking over their situation, Meeks said, and one mechanic has chosen to be laid off.
"We still have operations there," Meeks said. "Each and everyone of those individuals was given a chance to relocate." Meeks said the ship has been in operation since 1993 or 1994 and has good employees in Washington. He wants to keep as many as possible.
"We still have trucks there," Meeks said.
Local Peabody mines, like the one at Corning, are slowing down due to the low price and availability of coal.
According to DLC Media owner Dave Crooks, WAMW is in the process of making a retraction of the story and apologizing to Gibco for the error.

Desperate to Help Ailing Women
January 27, 2008 9:01 PM
Marcia Cross wasn't playing her traditional "Desperate Housewives" character on Capitol Hill last week. Instead, she took on the role of advocate for legislation to stop "drive-through" mastectomies. Ms. Cross joined with Lifetime's "Every Woman Counts" effort to deliver 20 million signatures on petitions urging Congress to act on legislation that would allow women to stay in a hospital up to 48 hours after a mastectomy. At a National Press Club appearance Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., praised the actress, saying she would help to bring more attention to the cause. Ms. Cross said she didn't understand why the legislation was taking so long to pass Congress. "I think it's time to put a fire under it, get it done, put it behind us and have it be one less thing for women to have to think about," she said.

Sherry Norris didnt get to play basketball when she was a student at Bladenboro High School.
She was a cheerleader.
There was a budget crunch in the 60s when I was in high school, so they did away with girls sports, Norris, the Chapel Hill High School girls basketball coach, said recently. Girls were either cheerleaders or majorettes. I didnt get to play team sports.
When Norris arrived at UNC-Chapel Hill, Title IX was just taking effect, bringing an expansion in womens sports.
I would have loved to have had that opportunity like they had when I was in high school. Thats why I got into coaching. Someone had to advocate for girls, Norris said.
Thirty-seven years and more than 1,200 wins later, Norris is still advocating for her sports, her teams, her girls. Shes been honored with the N.C. High School Athletics Associations Toby Webb Coaching Award and last year was named as one of the NCHSAAs centennial 100 To Remember in coaching.
The Chapel Hill girls basketball team has won back-to-back conference championships and 29 consecutive games against league opponents. This years club is 17-0 and is No. 1 in The News & Observer rankings.
Norris team lost in the 4A championship game in 2013, and adding a second state title is a goal for this season. She is the NCHSAAs leader in volleyball victories (732), and her clubs have won a pair of state titles.
But Norris has had to weather the vicissitudes of high school sports. Chapel Hill had to weather a down span in 2008-2010 when the Tigers went 0-20 and 1-19.
Norris husband, Ronnie, (my best coach, she says,) suggested she didnt need the aggravation. Though discouraged, Norris wouldnt quit.
Even with the odds not in our favor, she still came to practice every day with high expectations, and she continued to push us, recalled Sophie Pruden, a senior on the 0-20 Tigers squad.
She didnt let our losses define us as players. Even when we were losing games by a lot, she never let us roll over and stop playing hard.
Pruden went on to play at St. Marys College in Maryland, where shes averaging a double-double and was named her conferences player of the week earlier this month.
Sherry is one of the best to coach both sports in our states history, said former Chapel Hill athletic director and boys basketball coach Tod Morgan, who is now in his first year at Pikeville Aycock.
Sherry is highly competitive and driven to be the best, Morgan said. She will out-work most coaches across the state. She is very passionate about her girls, womens athletics, her teaching, and of course, CHHS basketball and volleyball. I think she is driven to win another state championship in both sports before she retires.
She has no plans to resign, though. She still wants to be an advocate for her girls.

Remembering Jason Collier
Remembering Jason Collier
The Atlanta Spirit family is saddened to report the sudden passing of Hawks center Jason Collier, 28, on the morning of Sat., Oct. 15.
"Jason and his family are first and foremost in our prayers during this difficult time," said Hawks Executive Vice President and General Manager Billy Knight. "Jason was a devoted family man who deeply loved his wife Katie, daughter Elezan (Ella), his parents and siblings. He was also a tremendous friend to the Hawks employees who spent time with him, and a hard-working and dedicated teammate to many NBA players over his five seasons in the league. We will truly miss Jason's personality and his spirit, and he will be in the thoughts and minds of our team and organization forever."
Sending Your Condolences
If you would like to share your thoughts and condolences with the Collier family and the Atlanta Hawks, email us at email@example.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Jason J. Collier Charitable Fund which will provide educational and financial benefits to children in need.

Scroll Down to read some of the many well-wishers who have emailed in their thoughts, prayers and memories for Jason.
There has been a great outpouring of support for Jason, and we thank everyone who has written in to share their feelings.
Here is a sampling of what you had to say:
My name is Harvey Catchings, a former NBA player and education counselor with the NBA/NBPA. I had an opportunity to work with Jason when he was here in Houston with the Rockets. One of the things that I will always remember about Jason......His comedic tone about life. He was truly committed to excelling both on and off the court. It was important that he finished his degree and also make sure that he provided for his family. I remeber pinning him down about when he was going to finish his degree and his answer was, I will get my degree when I get back to the Atlanta area.......! I know that he will be sorely missed by family and friends, but God said that he has provided an incredible number of happy moments on earth.......Now I want him here with me, so I can hear some the jokes that he told here. God bless you all, family and friend. All I ask is that you secure a place for yourselves in heaven, so that you will once again commune with him.........Be Encouraged
Harvey Catchings
NBPA/NBA Career Development Counselor
I am so sorry to know Jason Collier is gone, surely he will be with God in heaven.br> My condelences to his family and HAWKS team.
From Honduras,
Reniery Rivas E.
Dear Collier family,
I would like to send my deepest condolences to Katie, Ella and the entire Collier family. Jason will be remembered first of all as a very good person. We all can learn from Jason how to be a good person. I will pray to God that He will help you in these difficult times.
My husband has been a fan of Jason's since he was at IU, and therefore, I've heard a lot about his game and also about what a wholesome, classy, good guy he is. The NBA needs more Jasons. I was so sorry to hear about his death and can only imagine the suffering that his family is going through. To his wife and daughter, my thoughts are with you on losing your husband and father. I wish you every good thing in getting through this.
A fan in Chicago
To Jason's family and friends,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you in this very difficult time. Jason will be missed by his fellow players and coaches very much. Its definitely hard to lose someone we've seen in NBA games giving it his all.
We Love You Jason
Long time fan sorry to hear, but he is in a better place playing with some of the best old school basketball players in heaven. Keep your head up and take care.
I am truly, and deeply sorry for the loss of Jason!!!
When you think of the ones you love,
You see them smiling and laughing,
They look like angels from above.
And deep into your heart,
They truly are angels,
That's why this is the hardest part.
Tear stained faces all around,
Another young like,
We lay into the ground.
Everyone keeps asking why,
"Why did this happen to our angel,
He was too young to die".
God had greater things in mind,
For this special angel,
So the answer to "why" we'll never find.
So for now all we can say,
Is "Angel we'll be missing you,
Until we meet again someday".
My wife and I want to send our heart felt condolences to the Collier family. We obviously did not know him, but from reading about him he sounds like a tremendous person who will be greatly missed.
Our prayers and thoughts go to his wife, daughter, and family.
May God bless his family and the Hawks organization during this difficult time.

The Collier's Hello family of Jason; I am a nurse at children's healthcare of atlanta and I met Jason at our annual summer games this year and he was so good with the kids. I know they will cherish the memory of that day forever and he is definitely a bright spot in my memory here at Children's. i hope that you all know that he will be remembered always to all that met him and he was a great guy.
Thanks for sharing him with us

He was such a kid playing with our special kids at the Summer Games. I will remember him as the caring, cute, smiling young man playing in the hot sun. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Katie and Family,
My heart is broken for you. Jason was a wonderful human being. He was so proud when he would to talk about you and Ella. Those nights on Todd's Dock, playing guitar, singing horrible renditions of songs, and sharing some great stories. I will cherish them. He was a good man. NBA players should look to him as their role model. Know that he is surrounding you with his spirit. And that God has given him eternal life. We will see you again Jason. Thanks for your friendship!
I had the privelege of having Jason's mom Joyce as my kindergarten teacher in Springfield, OH. My mother still teaches with her and I will always remember when I found out that Jason had passed away. My heart goes out to Katie, Ella, Jeff, Joyce, Julie and Jared, your husband, father, son and brother will be missed, and his family and the families he has touched will forever be changed.
Carrie C.
Springfield, OH
Though I did not know Jason personally, I could tell the type of man that he was. Picture this:
As I sit at the top of the bleachers on a cold, rainy Friday night for a homecoming game, I realize that the man sitting in front of me had to be at least 7 foot tall. This was Jason. He was attending a homecoming game to watch his younger brother Jared play varsity football. He didn't leave early to beat the rush or get out of the rain, he waited until the game was over so he could congratulate his brother. When the game was over, he stood up and began to walk off of the bleachers. Many high school and junior high basketball players had been admiring him from afar during the game, and saw this as an opportunity to meet the gentle giant. They came up and Jason welcomed them as he had known them all his life. He was joking, shaking hands, and giving "high" fives to these complete strangers, all while holding his sleeping daughter in his arms.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Collier family and to all who knew him.
Josh C.
South Vienna, Ohio
As a fan of basketball in general, it always hits hard when you learn of someone with the class and selflessness of someone like Jason ( much like Bobby Phills and Malik Sealy before him) passes away. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and the entire basketball community. RIP #40
I am fortunate to have known Jason since he was in junior high. I am also a graduate of Springfield Catholic Central, where I played Basketball a few years a head of Jason. I have enjoyed watching Jason grow over the years athletically. Jason was a very impressive basketball player, but more importantly he was an impressive human being. I will remember Jason most, not for delivering a much sought after State Basketball Championship to my alma mater, but for always having a smile on his face, and treating everyone with respect and kindness. I am proud to have known Jason, he was able to touch so many lives, in so many different ways. I regret that I did not get a chance to let him know how much pride I had in him, in the way that he represented our school, and our hometown. The world did not lose a basketball player, we lost a great member of our society at large. Thanks for all of the memories.
Ryan M, Dayton Ohio
My deep condolences on the passing of Jason Collier. I am from Springfield, Ohio and our entire community is shocked and saddened by his unexpected passing.
Our prayers are with his wife, daughter and family.
Kerry S.
I want to send my regards to the Collier family for their loss. I also want to thank Mr. Collier for giving me hope as a Hawks fan by playing so hard when the team was an embarassment to watch many nights. Ever since he joined the Hawks, Jason showed fight no matter the odds. He would often be dunked on by Shaq and while that was depressing, it was encouraging to know that we had a center who had enough stones to stay in there and fight it out consistently with the most powerful player in the NBA. THAT is what will stay in my mind about Jason Collier: a man who did not run away from responsibility and who understood it enough to assist those who might have trouble while walking alongside him. Hawks players, stand up and smile for your brother because it's apparent that he would stand up for you.
SPC Anthony Hooker

Im a 15 year old hawks fan and all i want to do is offer my condolences to Mrs. Collier and her daughter. This is a sad day in hawks history and the NBA will deeply miss Jason Collier.
Rest In Peace Mr. Jason Collier

I would like to send my sincere condolences to the Collier family. I met Jason during his senior year at Catholic Central High School. I was a huge basketball fan and enjoyed watching Jason play his senior year before going to Indiana. He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him. Jason was a great role model for students and athletes. After meeting him briefly after a game, I asked him to come to Xenia, Ohio to speak to students in my 6th grade D.A.R.E. Class. He accepted this offer with a great deal of enthusiasm. He visited Xenia on two occasions to meet with my D.A.R.E. Classes. Jason was a very humble young man that really wanted to make a difference on and off the court. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to meet Jason. I can only imagine how many people Jason touched with his kindness during his lifetime. My heart and prayers go out to all of Jason's friends and family.
Captain Scott Anger

My wife and I would like to send our deepest condolences to Katie and Ella.
Your husband and father was a great man. His generosity and kindness touched everyone he met. We were lucky enough to be one of those people and want to thank you for the time that both you and Jason spent with us. The following paragraph is a memory I would like to share, it was the third and unfortunately last time we met Jason.
While Katie, Ella, my wife, and our toddler were playing by our neighborhood pool I asked Jason how he first got into basketball, because of his advantageous height, or that he just happened to love the sport? He told me that since he was a kid he had dreamed of being in the NBA, and he said he remembered placing a NBA poster up on his wall when he was 6 or 7. And now that he is in the NBA, he loves everything about it. He couldn't believe he was getting paid to do something he loved so much. Jason also said he felt too guilty about buying things with his extra money, he felt more comfortable using it to help family and others. It was at that point in time I realized that Jason Collier was larger than life. Most people I know would already have 2 sports cars, etc.,. And this is also when I learned about his love for one of his favorite charities, the "Sunshine Kids".
That day I was wearing my only pair of tennis shoes and Jason asked me if I needed a new pair because they looked like they needed to be replaced. He said he would get me a free pair if I just called him up and let him know my shoe size!
After we left the pool our families drove separately to a Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately I didn't bring my wallet to the pool, so I had to pull over on the way to the restaurant to let Jason know I just needed to turn around quickly to pick up my wallet at my house. Even though this was only the third time he had met us, he offered to buy our dinner, he just seemed to be full of 'nice gestures'.
Jason Collier's generosity and kindness should be imitated by everyone, we're going to miss him and we are still stunned this happened. Our condolences go out to Jason's entire family and Katie's parents and Allison and Matt, who were not only a sister and brother-n-law to Jason and Katie, but best friends.
Darryl and Heather
I remembered seeing Jason in a rockets uniform and wondered if he'd ever spoken to anybody in his life. To me, he was so gentle and to summarize, humble.
I actually heard of his untimely passing on the BBC World Service News on Monday morning.
I had problems initially remembering what he looked like although I was familiar with the name.
I decided to go online and it was then that I could've put face to name.
It's always sad when someone who has his whole future ahead of him is cut down in his hayday.
To his wife, child and the rest of the Collier family, I say cry if you may, but I believe that everything that happens in this life is for a reason. Remember that God has promised another comforter in your time of bereavement.
God Bless you always
James W.

I felt very sad and shocked when I heard about Jason

T1 and T3 are typically rented by organizations at a monthly or yearly rate to connect geographically separated offices for private voice and/or data networking. The high cost of these lines prevents most individuals from leasing them.
About T1 LinesThe T1 standard for data communication was developed by AT&T in the 1960s. T1 leased lines offer the same data rate as symmetric DSL (1.544 Mbps).
A T1 line typically costs $1000 USD or more per month. So-called fractional T1 lines, starting at 128 Kbps, reduce this cost somewhat and can be found in some apartment buildings and hotels where they provide residential Internet access.
About T3 LinesT3 lines are a common aggregation of 28 T1 circuits that yields 44.736 Mbps total network bandwidth. Besides being used for long-distance traffic, T3 lines are also often used to build the core of a business network at its headquarters. A T3 line typically costs more than $3000 USD per month.
Other Circuits
The concept of T2, T4 and T5 aggregated lines also exist in telecommunications, but these are much less commonly used in practice.
Note that T1 and T3 are the names of certain tram lines in Paris, France. These are unrelated to T1 and T3 telecommunications lines.

5 Years of Google Code: Google Doubles Source Code Storage
Five years ago, Google started placing internal projects under a free license and with Google Summer of Code, began its support of the open source scene.
From the quasi-inhouse portal a huge OSS repository has grown, where not only Google, but a multitude of developers worldwide are hosting
their projects. It all began on March 15, 2005 with the URL code.google.com. Since then, the browser giant from Mountain View has published around 800 internal projects on its homepage, including Android, Chromium, parts of Google Wave and numerous APIs.
To celebrate the 5th birthday, Google has treated its subversion server to an update and has also increased source code storage capacity from 1GB to 2GB. In total, Google is currently hosting 240 000 projects. Details to the anniversary can be found in a blog entry from Chris DiBona.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Best Buy Co.'s /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed/quotes/nls/bby BBY -1.88% Richard Schulze may scuttle a plan to take over the company he founded, according to The Wall Street Journal late Wednesday, citing people close to the matter. A lack of support from banks to finance the deal may be driving Schulze, who owns about 20% of Best Buy, to assemble a group of investors to take a minority stake in the electronics retailer, the Journal reported. Shares of Best Buy closed down 2% at $15.12 on Wednesday.

NEW ALBANY — Floyd County is facing a $2.4 million budget deficit, and unless action is taken in the next few weeks, money to fund the government will run out in September.
The Floyd County Council held a special meeting Thursday at the Pine View Government Center to inform officeholders and the public of the situation and what is being done to correct it. Until a plan is unveiled later in the month, Council President John Schellenberger said there would be a county hiring freeze for 30 days.
There is also a spending freeze and each officeholder was asked to cut 10 percent of their budget by the end of the day Monday. The council will look at the recommendations and help make the cuts before coming up with a final plan to solve the problem in a week or two.
"Until we get a handle on the situation, the general fund is frozen, EDIT is frozen and [the] riverboat [fund] is frozen," Schellenberger said. "Once we come up with a plan for savings, then hopefully we can get back on track. We know the situation is frustrating, but we are doing the best we can do."
Schellenberger said there would be no layoffs or furloughs involved in the plan. He also said a committee has been formed that includes Director of County Operations Don Lopp, his assistant and former auditor Teresa Plaiss, and Amanda Ault, the new chief deputy auditor for Floyd County, to help make recommendations to fix the budget problem. He said they already found $2 million in cuts/savings, but another $400,000 will have to be found in the next few weeks.
Council members said the problem began when they received the wrong figures last fall from the auditor's office when they were preparing the 2013 budget. They said they were told they had $11.1 million to work with in the general fund, but only had $9.4 million. They also thought they had $4.2 in CAGIT funds, but in reality had $3.4 million.
"It is not our job to do the work of the auditor's office, but we were tasked to come up with a plan and see what the county's financial state is ... and with the information we received, this is where we are," Lopp said. "The recommendation regarding a hiring freeze is not something done without thought, but it does provide some savings."
Auditor Darin Coddington was absent from the meeting, which also didn't go unnoticed by some council members since his office was at the center of the budget issue.
"With the severity of this, I wonder why we don't have the auditor here," Councilman Brad Striegel said.
The council received notice late last week of the problem from the DLGF. That is when the committee was formed.
A 1782 notice from the Department of Local Government Finance sent to the council states that, "The June settlement error combined with the problems with the additional appropriations and the discrepancies concerning the encumbrances brought forward into 2012 are making financial information as of June 30, 2012, very uncertain. Given the uncertainty of the financial information provided, the safest approach at this point seems to be to let the county do an additional appropriation once a solid Jan. 1, 2013, cash balance can be determined for each fund."
Many officeholders approached the council and said they were in the process of hiring someone for their office, or need to hire someone to fill an upcoming vacancy.
Also, tax bills will soon be sent out by L & D Mail Masters, which costs around $20,000. The council agreed the tax bills would go out on time since that generates revenue. County Clerk Linda Moeller was also in the process of purchasing new voting machines, and that is likely on hold for another 30 days.
Some council members said each situation should be looked at individually until the freeze is lifted. However, Councilwoman Dana Fendley and Councilman Steve Burks agreed that a freeze means a freeze for 30 days.
"Come September we will have no money. That is how serious this is," Fendley said. "It's only temporary so we will have to bite the bullet until we can get our hands around it."
The council will meet in small groups to look at the proposed cuts before meeting March 12 for its regular meeting. Schellenberger said he hopes to be back "in business" April 1.
"We will know a lot more in 30 days that we know today," Councilman Jim Wathen said. "Every department will feel some pain and there is no doubt the public will feel some pain."

The Daily Star
---- — ONEONTA _ She outscored a sectional semifinalist.
A vintage performance by junior point guard Jordan Beers sent Franklin to its first sectional final in girls basketball. She scored 38 points to lead the top-seeded Purple Devils to a 70-36 thumping of No. 8 Southern Cayuga in a Section Four Class D semifinal Tuesday at Oneonta State's Dewar Arena.
Her offensive arsenal appeared to have no limits on this night. From the moment she hit a fade-away 17-footer on the left wing 8 seconds into play to the three-pointer she swished after dribbling right around a screen at the top of the key just before exiting with 1:30 left, Beers had it going.
It's no wonder the sharpshooter has 1,851 varsity points.
Beers, a fifth-year varsity player, will get a chance to add to that number at 4 p.m. Saturday, when 19-0 Franklin opposes Morris (15-4) back at O-State. The seventh-seeded Mustangs defeated No. 3 Davenport, 39-32, in the second semifinal Tuesday at O-State.
"(Beers is) a tremendous player and she handed it to us pretty good," said Southern Cayuga coach Ed Heslop, whose team regularly faces Class B and C competition in the Interscholastic Athletic Conference. "She'd certainly be one of the top players in our league _ if not the top, certainly one of the top. She had one heck of a game."
Added teammate Marisa Cawley: "It's great to watch her. She's an amazing athlete and a great player. We're so lucky to have her on the team. She gets points, yes, but she's also a good team player. If she's off, then another player is going to be on and when she's on, we all get her the ball because we know what she can do."
"On" certainly described Beers' play Tuesday. She hit 6 of 8 shots from the field in scoring 13 points in the opening quarter. That production included two fade-away jumpers, a poke-away steal she turned into a layup, a putback, a pull-up jumper and a soft 6-footer off glass in transition. Oh, and she also snapped a hit-ahead pass that led to a fastbreak basket by Cawley.
"It feels great to get the crowd into and your teammates on the bench into it," Beers said of her fast start. "It just picks up everyone's confidence and it picks up our defense."
Still, SC (12-9) stayed right with the Purple Devils in the first half.
In a 29-second span, Jessie Kopp and Sydney Cullen hit a wing jumper and a baseline three-pointer, respectively, the latter giving the Chiefs a 25-24 lead 43 seconds before halftime.
But Franklin took the lead for keeps 10 seconds later when Cawley inbounded to Paige Fairchilds, who hit a 12-footer in the lane. Then with 10 seconds left in the half, Beers hit a three-pointer from left of the circle off the dribble to make it 29-25.
"In the first half, we were getting people inside and getting drives," Heslop said. "We drew a few fouls and got shots on the inside. In the second half, they just stepped back (into a 2-3 zone) and we did not have a strong outside shooting night."
Franklin's 2-3 zone in the second half turned the Chiefs into a stationary jump-shooting team and they could not find the range.
When Jessie Kopp (team-high 10 points) made a driving layup with 7:40 left in the third quarter, SC trailed, 30-27.
A 14-5 Franklin spurt ensued and Beers played a role in all of it.
She started it with a short floater following a strong drive along the left baseline. Next, came a pull-up jumper from the foul line.
Then she found Mariah McNeilly behind the defense for a fastbreak layup. A pair of Beers three-pointers off the dribble came 32 seconds apart, the latter making the score, 42-31. When she set up Fairchilds for a layup off a bounce pass, the Purple Devils led, 44-32.
"She is playing at a high level," Franklin coach Mike Dutcher said of Beers, who came into the night averaging an area-best 25.5 points. "For people who have seen her play or people who are seeing her for the first time, I think she's made a statement all year that she is one of the top two players in the section. Night in and night out, she proves it against all kids of complex defenses. She's a player."
The first 85 seconds of the fourth quarter produced eight Franklin points and all but ended things.
Beers started it with a coast-to-coast drive that ended with a lefty finish. Haley Downin then got a runner to go along the baseline before Cawley grabbed one of her 16 rebounds and converted the putback. Finally, Beers found the 5-foot-10 Cawley for an inside basket that made it 52-32 with 6:35 remaining.
"We've played her twice now and it seems whatever gym we're in, we're going to shoot well," said Beers, who scored 29 points in Franklin's 56-48 win over Schenevus in the Tri-Valley League final at O-State. "We have a lot of confidence in ourselves."
Cawley finished with 16 points and Downin grabbed 11 rebounds for Franklin, which will attempt to follow its sectional title during the soccer season with one in basketball.
"It's a special, special time in Franklin," said Dutcher, whose team beat Morris twice this season en route to winning the TV West Division title. "One thing they learned during soccer is they play in big games and they win big games. That has carried over into basketball season."

Before we lived in New York City we lived in Portland, Oregon. There we went to a college that was so weird it was recently threatened to be prosecuted as a crack house, and lived a life that was hard to get over after the fact. Low rent, local owned froyo down the block, a foolproof network of thrift shops, free fruits and vegetables literally falling from trees and bushes, cardio-intense but safe bicycling, excellent macchiato microfoam, fresh goat tacos. Blah blah blah, land of dreams! Still, after a while, it felt like we gave every dollar we made making coffee to someone else making coffee. And we left, not because we don't like breathing air that tastes like refrigerated ferns, Brandon "The Rain" Roy or adventure-socks and day hikes, but because there are not a lot of "real" jobs there and we weren't ready to retire before having started. Comedian Fred Armisen and former Sleater-Kinney guitarist/NPR correspondent Carrie Brownstein have jobs and are buddies. Fred's visits with Carrie in Portland inspired a sketch series they did called ThunderAnt that explored and gently butchered Rose City characters. The bits they developed there have now matured and been given a run as a 6-part series called Portlandia that will start airing on IFC this Friday night. We talked to Carrie Brownstein about wet winters, strange storytelling, the world's crush on Riot Grrrl and the blessing of wanting to play music.
You've always lived in the Pacific Northwest. What was it like growing up there and when did you move to Portland?
I was born in Seattle, but my family moved to this suburb of Redmond before I can remember. Redmond was a fairly rural. The whole cluster of towns was called— sort of derisively— the East Side. If you were in Seattle you would refer to us as the East Siders. I did a lot of bike riding as a kid, horseback riding. It was a very beautiful, bucolic place. There was a forest next to my house, and in the '80s they razed the forest and put up an office park called Evergreen Place, and I guess Evergreen was supposed to help us think of trees, even though all the trees were gone. And in the office park was a small building called Microsoft, and of course eventually took over Redmond and it became Microsoft Place, and it became this giant campus that now defines Redmond, Washington. I think that experience informed a lot of things about my life, a lot of my distrust of technology. It was an interesting experience to see a giant corporation transform a fairly sleepy suburb. But I got out of there before it all happened. Then I moved to Olympia, Washington. I went to school at Evergreen State College, I formed my band there. I moved to Portland in 2001 because most of my band lived there. This will be my tenth year there.
I lived in Portland for almost five years and visited recently. In the time since I got there, a lot of neighborhoods have undergone substantial development. What's it been like to watch it grow for a decade?
Growing up around Seattle and going to Olympia, what I appreciated about Portland was that it maintained a small-town feel. In 2001 it felt like the younger sibling to Seattle. Seattle had exploded with the dot-com boom and grunge music, and Portland had maintained its own identity and had actually benefited from being in the shadow of that. In terms of city planning, it learned from San Francisco and Seattle, which really exploded and didn't handle the big changes well. Portland revitalized the downtown instead of spreading out to the suburbs. It's maintained a community-based dynamic despite the fact that it has become more cosmopolitan. Now you can have some of the best food in our country in Portland, and it has a very thriving music and art and film scene, but it still retains real neighborhoods. Almost anywhere you go in Portland there's these micro-communities that have popped up; a strip of restaurants and a bar. But at the same time, there's a huge sense of pride in Portland and abundance of riches that people are proud of but a little embarrassed by. Portlanders tend to be a little bit self-analytical and we feel a little bit guilty for all the good things we have.
It looks like you filmed the show during the part of the year when Portland has amazing long, sunny days. But for most of the year, it's dark and rainy. How would you explain a Portland winter to someone who's never been through one?
I think if you've never experienced damp cold then you don't know how permeating it is. Damp cold chills you to your bones, and there's this way that Portland brings the outside weather inside. It's hard to dress up in the winter because no matter what you put on this horrible Columbia, Patagonia, or North Face coat on top of whatever you're wearing. The leaves and grass and wetness come into your house and all of a sudden everything is soggy and you have a moldy basement. I often will wear my coat until I get into bed. The quality of light in Portland in the winter is so poor, too, almost like this half-opened eye. In the morning it's like the sky is halfway open and in the evening it closes again, but it's never light out. I think of Portland winter as a lot of the reason the art and creativity that comes out of Portland is dark— it has a dark underbelly to it thematically, a lot of it has a kind of depressed, joyless quality to it. Especially music and film.
What are your favorite Portland bands now?
I really like this band called Pancake Breakfast. Portland has a real oddball earnestness to it? You want to be annoyed by the oddball nature, but it's pretty authentic. It's just this guy Mike Midlo and a cast of characters to back him up, they do tap dancing and foot stomping and sing songs about Peterbilt trucks. At the core of it is good songwriting, which to me is what saves it. It's not jokey, there's not a schtick. Every time I see them I feel like I'm peeking into somebody's living room while they're having a family singalong, which is kind of quaint but I think it's cool.

The stagnant U.S. economy has made headlines again, but outsourced sales company Apollo Enterprise Inc. push back and highlights the many positives America is experiencing.
New Jersey (PRWEB) July 03, 2014
The U.S media have been dwelling on negative headlines and facts about the economys growth or lack of growth again, but outsourced marketing company Apollo Enterprise Inc. have hit out at these claims, saying that they believe the economy is bouncing back.
Whilst the media focus on negative headlines last year such as The incredible stagnant U.S economy (published by Real Clear Markets in April 2013) and continue to say were stuck in the muck, Apollo Enterprise Inc believes that the industry is looking promising for 2014. Small businesses are a huge contributor to the economy and since 1995 they have generated 64% of new jobs and paid 44% of the United States total payroll. With the rising number of small businesses opening each year and the number of small businesses growing into larger firms, Apollo Enterprise Inc. believes the economy is showing promise for the next year and will continue to grow and expand at a healthy rate.
We understand the past few years have been difficult for many people and businesses but we are strong advocates of positive thinking. By focusing on what can be controlled and applying a positive mentality to each project we take on, we are able to deliver fantastic results for our clients, says the Managing Director of Apollo Enterprise Inc., Aysha Amjad.
The firm are aware that the media are just trying to report the facts but say that surely dwelling on how stagnant our economic conditions are only produces more negatives. America has experienced plenty of positives this year such as local businesses generating loyal customers that have helped them stay afloat in tough financial times. As well as this, many small businesses provided plenty of employment opportunities and this stimulates the economy.
Apollo Enterprise Inc is a brand new marketing firm located in New Jersey. As start-ups, the firm are proving that it is possible to start new businesses and thrive in the current economic state. The company uses direct marketing methods to promote and market their clients products or services. This means that their sales team talks directly to customers. Consumers value this personalized approach and it enables them to generate extremely successful results. The demand for direct marketing is continuously increasing and the company knows it will continue to grow and thrive as the economy continues to recover.

Peter Cohan, Contributor
I write about tech stocks and the startup economy.
Apple (AAPL) is getting plenty of ink over its court battles — most recently in its negotiations with Google (GOOG) over iPhone patents. Without Steve Jobs to innovate, Apple is trying to win in a court of law what it has been losing in the marketplace.
Apple won a $1 billion in damages from Samsung on August 24 in a California court on a claim that Samsung had "willfully" copied Apple's iPhone and iPads. Apple requested eight Samsung products be banned from the U.S. market. And a hearing on that request is scheduled for December 6, according to AP.
Now Apple is in discussions with Google that have the potential to settle claims that Google's Android violates eight of its patents. In a suit filed in February 2012, Apple asserts that Android specifically violates its patents with features such as "popular Google apps like YouTube, Google Maps and Gmail as well as Google's Quick Search Box that lets users search multiple types of data at the same time," according to the Wall Street Journal.
To stop Google, Apple requested an injunction against Samsung Galaxy Nexus sales but that request was turned down on appeal and should be decided in the next two months. Apple's suit is scheduled to go to trial in March 2014 but the Journal reports that Tim Cook and Larry Page are discussing these patent issues – so perhaps they will come to a settlement.
When it comes to market share, Google's Android has been roundly trouncing Apple. IDC reported that Android smartphone shipments accounted for 68% of the smartphone market to the iPhone's 17% in the second quarter of 2012.
Why is Android beating Apple? If you look just at product features, Laptop argues that the best Android phones have five compelling features that the iPhone 4S lacks:
Will the iPhone 5 — rumored to be released within weeks – have the features needed to win more market share? The marketplace will decide.
But one thing is clear — Apple and Google have very different ways of making money. Apple makes its profits from the wide gap between the price it charges for the iPhone and its costs. Android is designed to help Google make money from mobile advertising.
Apple's iPhone had sales of $22.7 billion in the first quarter of 2012, as Tim Worstall noted, whereas Microsoft (MSFT) revenues were a lower, $17.4 billion. With a profit margin of 35% — the iPhone could generate profit of about $35 billion in 2012.
By contrast, GigaOM estimated that Google's Android advertising revenues were a mere $550 million — a pittance compared to the $2.5 billion Google expects to make in 2012 off of iOS mobile advertising and "in-app advertising through Google's AdMob subsidiary."
While Google's Android revenues look small, it has created a credible competitor to the iPhone — free of Apple's constraints — and that means more choice for consumers.
Without Steve Jobs to mesmerize Apple users, does Tim Cook have any hope of growing iPhone market share through innovation, rather than global litigation?
I am so tired of dumb, pseudo tech journalists saying that Android is trouncing Apple. Comparing Android devices vs. Apple iphone market shares is comparing Apples to Oranges (pun intended). If Apple licensed iOS, then it would be a like comparision. I am sure Apple is happy to be "trounced' with a market cap approaching $625B.
Very disappointing article. First of all, immoral. Does this man not believe in the American system of justice, a trial by a jury of one's peers? Does he not believe that people have a right to their property?
Second, there are a few factual errors:
1. Nobody is buying Android because they can get a better accessorie KEYBOARD. There are plenty made for IOS.
2. For most of the time, Apple was selling as many Iphones AS THEY COULD MAKE. It is only recently that people, waiting for the next phone, are slowing down.
3. There are far more working apps on iOS than Android.
4. While NFC seems nice, does he have any evidence, and can he really argue, that someone would choose their phone based on this? They are probably buying their phone with a credit card that works just fine, thank you.
Biased, and unfactual. Disappointing.
Newsflash to Peter Cohan: Apple is not losing anything in the smartphone market. It's profits have consistently risen. To focus (and win) on market share is to lose the battle entirely (see the story of flash in the pan Moto Razr). And where do you go once you've won it all? Better to focus on high quality, the best user experience, and consistent high margin. It's the margins and total profit that are important at the end of the day. And by all measures, Apple continues to have the lion's share of the profits.
Your title is misleading. Apple is not losing in the smartphone market. RIM, Nokia, Palm/HP, Dell, HTC, Motorola, LG — they are losing in the smartphone market. Any look at the money trail will tell you Apple is not losing in the smartphone market.
What a disingenuous and deceptive article. I guess there is no low a writer can't sink to in the search for eyeballs and clicks. But I'm surprised Forbes allowed it.
Very poor article. Lacks insight, misleads, and even contains a factual error or two.
And by "losing in the smartphone market" you mean "making 73% of all the profits in the smartphone market"?
[Android's] "compelling features"
All those compelling features and still no one can make money except Samsung.
"Without Steve Jobs to innovate…": incorrect.
Why compare Apple to Android? One company against a whole OS…?
Apple wants to stop too many fake batman or copycats out there..Tech companies really copy each other but companies like samsung should be aware of the consequences of stealing technology. If we cannot defend our IP then there is no meaning to IP, Patents, Innovation..
Why can't Android crew try something new…something pathbreaking.. instead of spinning winning formula's and trying to make money. Samsung coming up with a sleek LED…I call that innovation but copying iphone like a kid….shame!
Apple's vision is pretty clear and their products are well integrated into the social fabric.. As it continues to innovate and defend its titles i don't see a reason why it won't gain back it's market share. I really would like Microsoft to enter the foray… it will be interesting!
But Android didn't copy iOS. What part of that don't you get. I recently had a coworker ask for my help with their new Tablet (Android ICS), as they switched from a first gen iPad to the Galaxy Tab 2. It looks and operates completely different!

The Oscars 2010 predictions will continue to flood in right up until the Hollywood awards show kicks off at 8PM EST on ABC this Sunday. One category from the various Oscars 2010 nominees which may be a sealed deal is that of the Best Actor field. It includes strong performances from some Hollywood heavyweights as well as a few new names in the mix as well. Here's some thoughts on the Oscars 2010 prediction for Best Actor award.
The popular choice for Best Actor throughout the other movie awards shows has been longtime actor Jeff Bridges. In "Crazy Heart", Bridges portrays a washed up cowboy country-western singer who is dealing with the fact his friend is playing sellout shows, while Bridges' character is doing small local gigs in bars or bowling alleys. He's also dealing with alcohol problems as well, but his meeting with a female journalist which begins a budding romance may start to turn his life around.Â
Bridges is the favorite due to the fact he's won the Best Actor award for the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild award, and LA Film Critics award all for his role. He may be a sentimental favorite as well, almost like Susan Lucci who was nominated for Emmy's so many times, yet lost. Bridges has previous Academy award nominations for Best Actor in 2000 for The Contender and in 1984 for Starman. He's been nominated for the Supporting Actor award several times as well, including his debut film role in The Last Picture Show way back in 1971, but he's never won the Oscar for Supporting or Best Actor. This could very well be Bridges' big year, and an emotional moment on stage when he accepts his first.
Jeff Bridges is the Oscars 2010 prediction for Best Actor among many critics and fans. He will face strong competition from the likes of Hollywood's finest in Morgan Freeman (Invictus), George Clooney (Up in the Air), Colin Firth (A Single Man), and Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker). While The Hurt Locker may take Best Picture on Sunday, it's also possible that Renner gets the upset victory over Bridges. Renner plays a complex bomb squad soldier who's a bit of a loose cannon, yet still doing his best to diffuse volatile situations over in Iraq. It's also hard to count out all-time acting legends like Freeman or Clooney, but Colin Firth's performance in A Single Man is also outstanding. For now in the Oscars 2010 predictions, Best Actor seems to be a lock for Jeff Bridges. Tune in Sunday to find out!

Edmonds' newest home for the arts, Stunningly Strange Gallery, is now open at 407 Main St. It takes the place formerly occupied by Bellissimo Beauty Bar, which relocated across the street to 402 Main St.
The art gallery, which opened Nov. 15, displays whimsical, surrealistic and mixed media art.
"No matter what age a person is, there is a imaginative side to everyone," said Stunningly Strange owner Kaitlin Phillips Goodey. "I want to show art that is unusual and has a story that resonates with the viewer."
The goal of the gallery is to bring new and fresh art to an active art community. "I want to expose the community to art that goes beyond the traditional," Phillips Goodey said.
The first show in the gallery is her own artwork, which is inspired by fairy tales, playful youth and memories.
Phillips Goodey is a recent master of fine arts graduate from Washington State University, where she explored the stage between youthful imagination and losing one's innocence through photography and figurative clay sculptures.

Did You Know?
Oliver Otis Howard (1830-1909), from Maine, graduated from West Point in 1856. During the Civil War, he fought at Manassas; Fair Oaks – where he lost his right arm; Antietam; Chancellorsville; Gettysburg; Chattanooga; Atlanta; and participated in the march across Georgia. In 1865 he headed the Freedmans' Bureau, which resettled and enforced the rights of newly freed African-American slaves in the South. His interest in their education led him to establish Howard University in Washington, D.C. and Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. From 1886 to the end of his Army career, he commanded the U.S. Army in the Eastern United States from Governors Island.
