Alumni Spotlight
Kent State is going to spotlight an alumni from the ATP on a regular basis. Out first Alumni spotlight is Jeremy Ford. Take a look what he learned from KSU ATP and what encouragement he gives to our students.
Jeremy Ford, ATC, LAT
1. What is your full name and what are your current credentials?
Jeremy Ford, ATC, LAT
2. Where you living right now and what are you up to these days?
Currently live in Akron (Portage Lakes) and am working on my MBA
3. What did you do immediately following your time at Kent State University up until now?
I started working at Salem High School teaching a Vocational AT program and covering all athletics.
4. Tell me about how your time as an athletic training student at KSU prepared you for your future.
It taught me time management skills.
5. What are some favorite memories of being an athletic training student at KSU?
If I told them, John would not be happy! The best was being able to spend four days in Arizona when I traveled with Women's Volleyball. It is so much nicer than Ohio!!
6. What is your worst memory of being an athletic training student at KSU?
Finding out on a Thursday night that I had to travel the next day because another student was busted for playing flag football after telling Dr. Peer he missed class and a test because he was "sick."
7. What is the FUNNIEST thing that happened while you were an athletic training student at KSU?
Messing up Steve Nordwall's desk (Assistant AT at the time) when he was traveling. If anyone knows Steve, he does not like a messy desk. His expression was priceless and his anger was hilarious!

Study more.
9. What advice would you give to our current students in the ATEP?
Stop complaining about the hours, there is nothing you can do about it! Don't be afraid to take control and work with the athletes. You will make mistakes, but this is the best way to learn. Don't rely on others to tell you what to do.
10. What is your family life like now? What hobbies are you involved with these days?
Great, I live with my girlfriend and we have a cat. I enjoy listening to books on CD because I'm to lazy to read. My time is consumed with work and school so hobbies are mostly on hold right now. When there is time, I enjoy taking short trips with my girlfriend Tara to big cities like Chicago and New York.
11. What are your plans for the future?
Get my MBA and begin a career in administration in the hospital setting.

"I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with our wedding programs! Everything about this program from the colors to the font and the paper was amazing. Our photo went well with the blue/green color option and we were impressed with the attention to detail. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"These programs are gorgeous! I didn't do anything crazy to the design, I simply made one of the text boxes bigger through a designer and they were super helpful! I saved myself such a headache ordering these instead of making them myself. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!"
"Our wedding programs turned out beautifully. I love that they match the rest of our stationery and how we were able to personalize them. We changed the font a little and made it larger. It was easy to type up the inside of the program and line it up the way we wanted. We also added a picture on the back that looks wonderful- very clear and the color is great. The paper is nice and thick, not flimsy at all. I would definitely recommend these!"
"I love this beautiful vintage look and to have the ability to include pictures inside! One thing that would have been helpful is to have preset questions inside the program for those of us who are unsure how a program really is supposed to look!"
"The wedding programs turned out great & the quality of the paper was really good! I was amazed at how fast that we recieved the programs in the mail! The only part of the program that I did not like is that the back is blank and that you cannot add any photos. Otherwise, this is a great program, thanks for doing such a great job paper divas!"

Boyfriend, others accused of home invasion
Date: July 7, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
A woman's boyfriend is accused of orchestrating a home invasion in which she was the victim.
Brandon Best, 24, allegedly convinced Alyssa Harnisch, 22, and her boyfriend, Justin Bachner, 23, to break into the victim's home, tie her up and steal several items.
The crime occurred June 26, at 7868 Holiday Drive.
Detectives discovered surveillance video of the scene, which showed Best driving a getaway car for Harnisch and Bachner. Deputies who searched Harnisch and Bachner's residence found the stolen items, as well as shotguns used during the home invasion.
Best and Harnisch were arrested, but deputies are still searching for Bachner. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office at 861-4900 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 366-TIPS.
Bachner has previous arrests for underage drinking, a DUI and driving with a suspended license. Best has a reckless driving arrest on his record. Harnisch had no previous criminal arrests in Sarasota County.

Gov. Terry Branstad will head to a Des Moines high school to sign an education reform bill into law.
Branstad plans to sign the bill in the auditorium of Des Moines North High School on Monday morning.
The education plan approved by the Legislature includes more basic school funding for the next two academic years, as well as increased money for districts that adopt a program to raise minimum teacher pay and offer leadership incentives. A task force will review teacher evaluations and some restrictions on home-schooling will be lifted.
Branstad made education reforms a priority of the legislative session, arguing that Iowa's public school system has gradually fallen from among the best in the nation to middle of the pack due to years of complacency.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
The beer pours a deep, dark black color with a frothy tan head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has an earthy black malt scent with some chocolate hints. There is no trace of hops in the aroma. The taste is good as well. It has a rich, malty flavor that is full of black and chocolate malts. It is dry and quite earthy. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a good porter. It's nothing special, but it drinks well. It has good flavor and aroma.

First had: on tap at their brewpub
Not at all retired, the "1535 Pearl Street Porter" was one of my favorites from Mountain Sun, even if there was nothing necessarily distinctive about it. Poured opaque black with a tan head that left some nice lacing on the glass. Roasty aroma, dark malts, dark chocolate, some coffee, earthy; no hops to speak of. Same on the taste buds: roasty, rich, dark malts, a touch of coffee/cocoa bitterness. Smooth and easily drinkable, and on the heavier end of being medium-bodied.

I think this is the same a Pearl Street Porter, so here it goes. A dark brown near black color with a tan head. A mix of roasted dry malts and some sweet chocolate. The taste is also quite toasty and has a well balanced hop bitterness. Good crisp body with a dry finish. An excellent beer to wash down one of their burgers.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
1535 arrived in a shaker pint glass with a deep mahogany hue and a small whipped coco head. The head fell to a patchwork blanket and left good lace.
Molasses and espresso dominate. A hint of licorice is at work too. Bitterness is mild and has a black tea bite to it. All the flavors linger through the finish. The dense body is a touch too fizzy for my tastes.
Overall, a really nice Porter. It has a nice complexity and avoids the Stout-light theme of many American Porters I've had. 1535 is a very solid effort.

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pearl Porter pours a dark brown with red bricking. It's opaque.
Flavor: it's definitely 'roasty' lots of that kind of flavor in this brew.
Aroma: The smell is of roasted nuts & perhaps coffee. This is a dry drinking porter and quite tasty. I'd recommend it.

4/5 rDev +7.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a mostly opaque, dark reddish-brown with a persistant, dark tan head.
Smell: Aroma of roasted and chocolate malts, along with subtle hints of smoke and licorice.
Taste: The flavor is rich and bittersweet with lots of roasted malt character. A fair amount of chocolate malt plays second fiddle to the roasted malt. I detect some smoke and licorice as well. The bitterness is a bit laid back, which is derived from roasted malts, rather than hops. Finishes like it began, clean and full of flavor.
Mouthfeel: Fairly thick in body, with a rich mouthfeel. Finishes firm and dry. Quite clean, like all of Mountain Sun's brews.
Drinkability: This is a damn good porter that would be fantastic on cask. More please...
Just for the record, 1535 Pearl is the address of Mountain Sun.

I think that Rti system would do you for a while! If I had the extra cash...I'd probably upgrade my HT to RTI-A9s, etc. Get myself a Pioneer Elite SC-07 or the newer equivalent, and maybe some Parasound amps or Carver, and be done with HT.
I would then experiment with the RTI-A9s and an HT bybass...pick up an Adcom 750 pre-amp and upgrad the Front Parasound amp to a Halo 21 (also ass. with Parasound). And see what that did for 2 channel.
The A9s are actually the most 'musical' of the Rtis as well as being the biggest and bad A$$ of the series--reaching down to 30hz with 3 X 7" woofer cones and a huge box...they out-weigh the M70s by almost 20 pounds!
Sorry I didn't check back here Land..
Yeah...getting a great sub and a power amp would automatically make almost any system sound better. For example...I bought a used Adcom GFA 555 and hooked my M70s up to it through a Denon AVR 2807...INSTANT difference...all of a sudden....more bass, more detail, more imaging than the speaks with the Denon alone...
Also I need to make a correction below, I meant to say Dynaudio Speakers....Dynaco does amps mostly!
If you heard some decent towers with a good power amp behind them, even your Onkyo might be OK as the pre/pro....check out Parasound, Rotel, Nad, Cambridge Audio, Carver, Adcom amps, etc. when you make your listening journey!
Even with a 5000 dollar budget you're better off buying a used power amp and perhaps upgrading the speaks... Polk Rti-A9s are formidable towers when powered by a good external amp! I think you would like those.
So basically what you're saying is if I use my system primarily for HT, If I added say an SVS sub to it that would be my biggest improvement? Thanks!
Hey LandShark,
I really think that Polk Rti-A9s are a wonderful HT speaker to use as R/L....they're much larger than the M70s...and can belt out BASS when powered with a nice amp. I'd get the large center and I do like the new Pioneer Elite ICE-amps quite a bit. But a new Onkyo 3000 or higher or older 876 or 906 would also do the job.
But some people like the NEW Def Tech slim-line MYTHOS towers which have a powered sub built into each tower and metal dome tweeters. You can HEAR those at any MAGNOLIA Best Buy. That's where I would GO to here some higher end speaks...some are now also carrying the Polk Rti-line, I think.
Also listen to some of the DefTech Powercubes (subs).
Also, track down mantis (Dan) on this site...he installs HT for a living and has a Pioneer SC-07 I think! And has either gotten the Mythos towers or is going to. He's a good source and has heard a ton of stuff.
Dynacos are also good HT towers!! Do a google search

There are a bunch of words that come to mind when I think about summer—"beach", "flip flops", "sunscreen", "mosquitoes", and, especially here on Long Island—"hot" and "tomatoes". Back in the 1920s, perhaps I myself would have been referred to as a "hot tomatah" (or possibly "tomater") by some swell fella who thought I was the bee's knees, but in today's world, a hot tomato pie calls to mind a melting, mouthwatering, fragrant combination of tomatoes, cheese and herbs presented in a rich, crumbly, buttery golden pie crust. I'm telling you, if I had a choice between making out with a dapper sugar daddy or scarfing a piece of this pie….well, I'd make out with Daddy-O, but the pie would be a gosh-darned close second.
This dish is traditionally a southern favorite, but since luscious, ripe tomatoes are in abundance in summertime, I don't see any reason that this can't be a local favorite up North here as well…especially since the recipe contains almost all of the elements of that quintessential Long Island favorite, that long-standing gastronomic tradition on which every, single kid on this great Island is weaned upon as soon as their first tooth comes in—PIZZA!!! Only this kind of pie is in a quite different, albeit delectable, design. While you may be reluctant to turn on your oven in the heat of the season, it's totally worth it for the ooey, gooey, deliciousness of this lip-smacking pie….so just crank up the air conditioning for a bit and bake away!
4 large red, ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 9-inch frozen pie crust, pre-baked for 12 minutes
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ lb of shredded cheese, I like a combination of aged cheddar and Gruyere, but any melting cheese will do
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large garlic clove, minced fine
1 tbsp minced fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread mustard evenly on bottom of prepared pie crust after it has cooled slightly. Then, sprinkle a small amount of the cheese across the bottom to cover. On top of the cheese, evenly place slices of tomato in one layer and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on more cheese, then another tomato layer and season, then more cheese, then finish the top with the last of the tomatoes (save the prettiest, most perfect slices for the top) and season again. In a small bowl, combine mayo, Parmesan cheese, garlic and thyme until thoroughly mixed. With a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, spread an even layer of mayo mixture over the top of the tomatoes, kind of like frosting a cake. A bit of tomato can peek through, but the top should be mostly covered. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and bubbly. Let the pie rest for 15 minutes to set before slicing into wedges (so all the hot cheese and juicy tomato won't run out), and serve with a side of mixed greens dressed in a simple vinaigrette or your favorite salad.

So far in the Patch "Census Stories" series, we've looked at several communities that have grown since 2000. Last month, the series focused on.

Here are the other cities we've looked at so far:

- grew by an incredible 321 percent between the last two census counts.
- In this story, Joe looked at how economic setbacks relate to population.
The big picture: a split personality?
As a recent transplant to the area, I can't help but feel there is a split personality aspect to life in metro St. Louis. On the one hand, many St. Louisans seem to never have considered living anywhere else. They love their Cardinals, rave about Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, flock to the Saint Louis Zoo and happily brave Highway 40 and other roadways to commute for work, shopping, school, leisure and life in general.
On the other hand, many of those same St. Louisans--when asked where they are from--will reply sheepishly, almost apologetically, about their hometown.
Another part of the area's split personality disorder is the city vs. the county, which dates back to the big split of 1876. The city is the hub, featuring major cultural, educational, corporate, medical and recreational institutions, as well as resurgent neighborhoods that attract young professionals. Then you have the more than 90 municipalities that make up St. Louis County, many of which are also home to major organizations, educational entities and businesses of all shapes and sizes. Last fall, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch did an excellent series examining this fractured landscape and how it may be undermining economic progress for the region. There also seems to be more talk about reuniting the city and the county.
Earlier this year, I was part of a brainstorming session Innovate St. Louis organized. It's an organization with the following mission: "to better collaborate and help build the entrepreneurial eco-system necessary to make the greater St. Louis region an international hub of innovation and entrepreneurship."
The people around the table represented businesses big and small, nonprofits, marketing and public relations, journalism, law, science, culture, education and more. As we talked about ideas and challenges related to making the region more attractive to creativity and entrepreneurship, the latest census data came up a few times.
The city itself is shrinking, although many cool neighborhoods there are blossoming (think Soulard, Tower Grove, and Shaw). St. Louis County is shrinking slightly. St. Charles County is growing a lot. (Again, I point to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which did a great "big picture" look at the numbers and trends after the census numbers for Missouri rolled out in February.)
Where do you live and why?
What do the census numbers say about life in the St. Louis metro area? Here at Patch, we decided to look at the data for many of our communities and ask local leaders and residents what they think, why they live where they live, and what challenges and opportunities arise when people move into town or leave.
If you want a town-by-town look at Missouri population numbers, check out the U.S. Census Bureau's American FactFinder. Simply select your community, and the program does the rest.

Biscayne National Park
Perched on the shore of Biscayne National Park, the lighthouse at Boca Chita Key was built in the 1930s by one of the island's former owners. When the observation deck is open, the views become even more dramatic, as you can look over the water to the Miami skyline.

Yewwo :)
I've been searching all over the place (other than eBay outside of Polk's store) and I can't for the life of me find a MicroPro 4000 sub for sale anywhere, let alone at a reasonable price.
Since my primary music venue happens to be video game music, I'd love to have a second 4000 for a stereo sub setup, as in most VGM tracks (even some recent ones), each channel is often forcibly stereo separated, making a stereo sub setup something of value to me.
Best I've been able to find so far is the MicroPro 3000 for about $850 at Polk's eBay store. I'd love to find the 4000, preferrably under $1k since I got mine originally from J&R Music for $900 a couple years back.
If anybody can offer some assistance, I would greatly appreciate it! :)

Pierce Transit riders will see more cuts this fall, when 34 percent of service will be reduced.
The Pierce Transit board voted 6-2 to adopt cuts in service that will affect weekend and holiday service, plus weeknight service within the transportation district, according to the Tacoma News Tribune.
Reductions aren't as drastic as initially proposed on the election ballot, with most mid-day or peak hour routes still functional.
Some on the Pierce Transit board considered making these cuts in June, rather than September, to save more service hours overall. However, the TNT reports that bus operators have been quitting at an accelerated rate since the transit levy failed in November. The amount of vacancies put pressure on the board to move forward with cuts sooner than anticipated.
How do you feel about this change in service? Tell us in the comments.

Hayes was a leader of the Reconstruction era, whose contested election eerily parallels the election debacle of 2000. The disputed election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden, in which Congress set up a special electoral commission, handing the disputed electoral votes to Hayes, brings recent events into sharp focus.
Hans L. Trefousse, Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, is a specialist in the history of the Civil War and Reconstruction. He is the recipient of various grants, including a Guggenheim Fellowship. The author of biographies of leading figures of the period as well as works on the Pearl Harbor attack, he is now working on a book on the reputation of Abraham Lincoln during his administration.

Over and over, visitors to the Allegheny County Election Division heard the same refrain Tuesday morning:
"Elections division, how may I help you?"
"Elections division, please hold."
From their headquarters Downtown, that constant jangle was the only way elections division workers could gauge that Tuesday was shaping up to be a busy Election Day around Allegheny County, Division Manager Mark Wolosik said.
"You hear the phones ringing off the hook," he said.
The most-frequent questions?
Most callers asked to confirm if they were registered to vote or where their polling places were located, he said.
By mid-morning, division workers had fielded enough questions to prompt Wolosik to issue the office's prediction: It would be a brisk voting day in the county and elsewhere around Western Pennsylvania.
Wolosik said the office estimates that 70 percent of about 925,000 registered voters in Allegheny County would head to the polls to cast a vote.
No problems with voting machines or voter ID issues were reported through the day, elections officials said.
In Eastern Pennsylvania, election authorities at mid-day were reporting numerous challenges over questions over voter fraud and Voter ID issues. Closer to home, however, Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Judge Jeffrey A. Manning said no election-related challenges had been heard in court.
"Not a thing," he said. "It's been quiet. Very quiet."
By late afternoon, however, the court did issue an order extending the deadline for submitting absentee ballots from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. That decision came after elections workers spent much of the day processing requests for emergency absentee ballots.
Assistant County Solicitor Dennis Biono said "hundreds" of people submitted requests for ballots because a medical or other emergency prevented them from making it to the polls.
Biondo said that while requests for emergency absentee ballot requests are typical during a presidential election year, this year is the "first time we got this many." Otherwise, the day was "uneventful," according to a court clerk.
The only hiccups of note: at least three polling places—in Ross Township, West View and Cranberry—did not open on time.
Some West View voters said they were turned away when they arrived at 7 a.m. to vote at the West View Towers senior complex because an elections judge was late.
One voter said she arrived there at 7:20 a.m. but was greeted by a poll worker who yelled at her to go away, saying the poll was closed "until the judge gets here." That poll opened at 7:45 a.m.
It wasn't immediately clear what delayed the opening of the poll in Ross or the Cranberry East 3 poll at the Cranberry Municipal Center, which opened at 7:15 a.m. Butler County Bureau of Elections Director Shari A. Brewer was not immediately available for comment Tuesday morning.
Around the region, Wolosik's prediction proved to be on the money as voters queued in line early to fill out their ballots as soon as polls opened in Western Pennsylvania.
Polling places in Moon Township were packed with voters making quick stops on their way to work, although the pace slowed later in the morning.
Democrat Ernie Trello stood alongside Republican John Jakubec at McCormick Elementary in Moon. The two may be friends, but on Election Day they campaign for opposite parties.
The two have stumped alongside one another at the polls before, and they described significant turnout this morning at the Beaver Grade Road polling location.
"There was a line down the sidewalk when the polls first opened," Trello said just after 9 a.m. "It's slowed down but it's been steady all day."
Another line of voters snaked out the door when the doors opened at Jefferson Elementary School in Mt. Lebanon, which houses two polling places. On Moffatt Street outside, voters queued in line for high-demand parking spots, and they'd stuffed the box of an exit pollster by 8 a.m.
Inside the school, a group of enterprising parents of fifth-graders took advantage of a coffee-swilling captive audience by setting up a tempting bake sale and hawking pumpkin bread, cake pops, Rice Krispie squares and chocolate tarts to those in line.
Lines at polls moved swiftly in nearby Scott Township, even though a few residents required the use of provision ballots rather than machines at the Scott Township Park pool and recreation center, poll worker Sue Chbala said.
"It moved pretty quickly," said voter Duronda Pope. "The other machine was beeping. The person on the machine forgot to hit the confirmation button. The
woman here ran after her, but they couldn't find her."
Outside the center, Terry Cassidy handed out Democratic ballots.
"I have three sons, 26, 24 and 19, and I want to show them the
process" Cassidy said. "I always tell them if you don't vote, you
don't have an opinion."
To the east in Forest Hills, the polling place at the fire station on Ardmore Boulevard already had more voters by mid-morning than it saw come through all day during the May primary election.
"It's been a really good turnout today," said poll worker Linda Mallick.
As of 10:15 a.m., 155 residents had cast their ballots, compared with
137 by the time the polls closed at 8 p.m. in May. The borough's Seventh
District has 740 registered voters.
"We're hoping to get 70 percent," Mallick said, noting only 17 percent voted in the primary.
Another poll worker who wouldn't give her name said she was amazed that "Everyone seems happy," despite the contentious atmosphere of the election season leading up to Tuesday.
Poll workers at the Verona Presbyterian Church in Verona said they, too, started the day strong.
"We had 32 voters in the first 35 minutes," poll worker Kier Ewing said. As of 9:20 a.m., about 75 people had cast their votes.
Nearby in Plum, 270 voters had passed through Plum High school by 10:10 a.m., and a line stretched out the door. Poll workers said they'd expected a lull at 9:30 a.m. but didn't get it.
Next door in Oakmont, one voter reported being No. 103 by 9 a.m.
In the North Hills, one voter said he waited in line for an hour and 15 minutes to vote at North Way Christian Community in Wexford. Other voters, via Twitter, reported crowds at the Pine-Richland Youth Center in Richland Township.
At at least 60 people queued to vote in Disticts 2 and 3, although there was no line for District 1 by mid-morning in the community that traditionally supports Republican candidates.
"I think there will be a good turnout on the Republican side. I think the enthusiasm is there," said newly appointed School Director Marc Casciani.
Also around the region, supporters of numerous candidates took to various high-vantage points for one final shot at swaying the opinions and snagging the votes of passersby.
In Wexford, Val and Al Akner were out early despite the chilly morning, holding signs designed to catch the eyes of passing motorists on Route 910 just before the ramp to Interstate 79 at the Wexford exit.
What brought the Bradford Woods couple out at 7:30 a.m. on a 25-degree morning to brandish signs that read, "Don't Be Fooled Twice. Vote Obama Out" and "Don't Believe The Liberal Media"?
"The overwhelming desire and need to save this country for my children and grandchildren and four great-grandchildren," Val Akner said, as drivers honked their horns. The couple has 22 grandchildren.
The Akners have been campaigning for congressional candidate Keith Rothfus of Sewickley, who is facing Democratic Rep. Mark Critz in the race for the 12 District. Val Akner said she fears the country will not be the same for her grandchildren as it was when she was growing up.
"I don't want to sound like I'm on a soapbox, but this is so very important," Val said as she waves to passing motorists.
Fellow Rothfus supporter George Beren, also of Bradford Woods, joined them with a huge Rothfus campaign sign.
"Usually, we're a mob scene—a well-behaved mob scene," Val said, adding about 15 campaigners also had been at the same spot Monday.
Most, if not all, are from Rothfus' campaign headquarters, she said. Their group has been moving around the area to high-traffic areas, and reaction from motorists has been good, she said.
"We're getting a lot of honks, even without our honk sign," Val Akner said, smiling.
Beren, too, said he was not campaigning for himself but for his grandchildren.
Sign brigade coordinater Bob Hoffman of Franklin Park, said volunteers have been stationed with signs at various locations: the Sewickley Bridge; along McKnight Road, at Routes 910 and I-79 in Wexford; along Route 8 at Wildwood Road and Huntz Tavern; on Camp Horne Road in Ohio Township; at the "Mae West" bend of the Parkway East; and elsewhere in Westmoreland and Beaver County.
Hoffman said the sign brigade organized itself in 2010 to support then-relatively unknown Rothfus in his earlier, unsuccessful bid to unseat U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire., who in turn was unseated by Critz. Hoffman said he's also driving people who need a ride to the polls Tuesday.
Even with voting underway, campaign offices continued to bustle around the region as supporters of various candidates pressed on with efforts to increase turnout and sway the undecided.
At President Barack Obama's headquarters on West Liberty Avenue in Dormont, canvas directors Christa Maier and Chris Maggio encouraged volunteers to go door-to-door and ask residents if they had voted.
"I believe in Obama because I was on my mom's health insurance. I wouldn't have coverage if it wasn't for the new healthcare," said Maggio, of Dormont.
In Canonsburg, Maggie Zuraw prodded volunteers at Obama headquarters to tie literature to doorknobs in a get-out-the vote effort. Zuraw said she grew up in a Republican family but has voted Democrat for the last 50 years because "I believe in taking care of people." Zuraw said.
"(Republican presidential candidate Mitt) Romney himself said that it would take 10 years to bring the economy back," she said. "Obama has only had four years."
Throughout Western Pennsylvania, Democratic and Republican voters alike predictably opined that their candidates of choice would be the winners after Pennsylvania's polls close at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
In at least one community, however, voters got a hint of how their community was trending. At the Romney was beating Obama at mid-day in the confection election.
Each sale of a candidate's cookie likeness counted as one vote. As of mid-day, Romney had attracted 57 percent of the votes.

You didn't! I'm just glad I didn't have the cup of coffee tilted just yet.
While there were some good points for each guy to take away from this fight, it mostly showed that neither is demanding to be a top challenger in the division. Jake was dealing with a big/strong guy and worked to control the fight, though too much fence time between the two.
I actually had Woodley winning too. I call BS
For a second I thought Woodley had switched to the Cesar Gracie camp.
Woodley's gameplan or lack there of, made no freaking sense to me. Everybody and their mother knows Shields can only KO the guys on Bully Beatdown. He has 3 TKO's his whole career.. more then likely ground n pound and I doubt he really hurt them ref stoppage due to lack of self defense. Woodley has great wrestling and if he knew Shields couldn't take him down, why not wing it and take him out? Its Woodleys own fault he lost that fight, it was his to have and he just stood there letting Jake jab him.

Yup. Woodley was also noticeably breathing heavier. Shields, however, didn't slow down much...which would give the indication that the body shots Woodley was landing weren't all that effective.
Saying he stopped all 18 takedowns doesn't mean you won that battle as Jake was the one still pushing the action. Yes it was a close fight, but nobody whipped anybody's ass as I saw it. I personally thought Jake won just over he had more control of were the fight was.
Also the one judge having it 30-27 Woodely was bull to me, but I've seen worse wins given/taken
For me, I would have liked to throw more punches.
That's why he lost.
Woodley: '100%' believes he won
Woodley: '100%' believes he won - Mixed Martial Arts News
Although the bout between Jake Shields and Tyron Woodley at UFC 161 was rather uneventful, if it still the job of the judges to pick the correct winner. Most watching, including UFC President Dana White, thought that Woodley had done enough to win, but the judges saw it the other way for Jake Shields. Sherdog.com posted a video interview with Woodley and got his opinion on the fight:
I said he wasnt going to take me down and I meant that. He tried 18 times; he got zero takedowns. From a statistics standpoint I was pretty overwhelmed with the fact that I was 64% on punching, I kicked him and dropped him to the ground twice, and I spinning back fisted him and he got zero takedowns. For me, I would have liked to throw more punches.
Do I believe I won the fight? 100%, but as a person thats been petitioning and hunting down a world title, that type of performance for myself, I have to be able to let it go no matter if its Jake Shields or who it is. I made him miss so many punches; I just want to watch the video again, he missed almost 80% of his punches.

Anyone who has played the new Angry Birds Go! Game on their favorite mobile device might notice the similarities between Rovio's racing app and a certain Nintendo property featuring plumbers in caps and mustaches zooming around a track.
Those similarities may not be close enough to summon Nintendo's lawyers, but they bring to mind a question that has come up since smartphones and tablets gained popularity as gaming devices: Why won't Nintendo make gaming apps for other mobile devices? Why no "Mario Kart Racing" for iPhones or iPads?
"It's a topic that comes up all the time. It's a debate that's constantly had," said Nintendo of America president/chief operating officer Reginald "Reggie" Fils-Aime during a wide-ranging interview with KING 5 News. "We recognize that there are a lot of smartphones and tablets out there, and so what we're doing is we're being very smart in how we use these devices as marketing tools for our content."
That means special gaming messages and video content. But what about a little gameplay?
"We're also doing a lot of experimentation of what I would call the little experiences you can have on your smartphone and tablet that will drive you back to your Nintendo hardware," Fils-Aime said. "It's largely going to be much more marketing activity-oriented, but we've done little things where there's some element of gameplay – a movement, a shaking, something like that."
Despite that tinkering, Fils-Aime said Nintendo is committed to the kind of user input that's only available via company-made devices. Most mobile gaming companies, he added, are also faced with challenges when it comes to monetizing their efforts.
"We believe our games are best played and best enjoyed on our devices," he said, "and so the full game play will only be on Nintendo devices."
Porting Mario, Luigi, "The Legend of Zelda's" Link and other favorite Nintendo characters might help the company regain the mojo it had when its original Wii console transformed the industry in 2006. The idea of motion-control gaming was a hit with families and others looking for more interactivity in their leisure time. In seven years, the Wii has sold more than 100 million units worldwide, with 40 million of those purchased in the U.S.
The tablet-based Wii U, launched at the end of last year, didn't enjoy the same heights of success. Despite that, Fils-Aime says it's premature to label the console as a failure. "We still have a few more years to go. But the key to driving the installed base of a system is having unique proprietary experiences that can only be played on that system."
Fils-Aime admits that those experiences came much later than Nintendo wanted, and he uses the new Wii Fit U game as an example.
"This is a game we wanted to launch in the first quarter of this year, not the first quarter of 2014," he said. "The delay in some of this key software is really what's been difficult for us. What I can tell you is that we have a very strong pipeline coming."
In addition to "Wii Fit U," that pipeline includes new editions of other longtime franchises like "Mario Kart 8," "Super Smash Bros," "Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze" and "Wii Sports Club Golf." That last title, along with Wii Fit U, use accessories from the original Wii: the Wiimote motion control remotes and the Wii Fit foot board. Backwards compatibility with previous games, along with the mix of old and new gaming systems, are advantages Nintendo has over rivals Sony and Microsoft, who didn't support PS3 and Xbox 360 games when their recently-launched consoles, Fils-Aime said.
"We know those devices (Wiimotes and Wii Fit boards) are still in the home, and we know that offering that type of value is critically important."

If you find that you are booting this from a device like usb or iso and you select quick dban option without selecting drives all attached drives will be wiped. That said I did get errors trying delete standard sata drives in some pc's that wouldn't get wiped and ended up using a Ubuntu Live CD and the format "write 0's" option under the Disks program to work. So I am guessing there are some error conditions where the dban operation can fail. Though the upside of using this program is for the multipass and the speed so if you get it working its clutch.
Does exactly what it says on the tin..... Excellent as for R4545 why would you keep 40k$ worth of important software on a couple of USB sticks... whilst erasing all data from a PC - school boy error.... heres some help isohunt.to lol
Not sure what part of "Wipe all disks" was unclear to r4545, but it sounds to me like it worked exactly as described. Nice to see an update - my old copy of DBAN 1.0.4 was getting a little long in the tooth.

LACEY, Wash. - Each passing day makes Solomon Metalwala more anxious.
"It's a very sad thing," said Metalwala.
Metalwala's two-year-old son, Sky, was reported missing on November 6. Members of the group Search and Seek have paid close attention to news story about the toddler's disappearance.
"He was in his car seat. His mom ran out of gas. She left him in the car, and went to go get gas. She came back. He was gone," said Sharon Mitchell, a Search and Seek volunteer.
"I don't think the story adds up. There are definitely a lot of loopholes in it," said Jennifer Mau, the coordinator for Search and Seek. "We are here to find that one loophole and get him home."
From Oregon to the Canadian border, Search and Seek volunteers plan to spend the next two days passing out flyers with information about Sky along the I-5 corridor.
"The holiday travel season is definitely a big reason for this," said volunteer Amy Walcott, who started passing out flyers Tuesday night.
At this time, when many people are focused on traveling to family, volunteers just want to bring one back together.
"If it was my kid out here I would want every single person out looking for her, so that's why we do it," said Mau.
"Everybody just opened their hearts," said Metalwala. He added he's hopeful this holiday effort will help find Sky.
