|Three Seahawks Reach Semis At Wake
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – Three players reached the semifinals of their respective brackets as the UNCW men's tennis team opened action Friday at the Wake Forest Fall Tennis Invitational.
The Seahawks went 8-4 overall in singles and split a pair of doubles matches as 17 teams convened for the bracketed event at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex.
Senior Rafael Aita, sophomore Santtu Leskinen and senior Matt Kealy each advanced to the semifinals in singles action for the Seahawks.
Aita, the 2013 CAA Player-of-the-Year, raced past Iowa's Jonas Dierckx, 6-2, 6-4, in his first match of the day in A2 Singles and the top-seeded player from Lima, Peru, stymied Penn State's Alex Fennell, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, to reach the semis.
Leskinen, meanwhile, also won a pair of close matches in B2 Singles. The Helsinki product outlasted Wake Forest's Nicky Kunz, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, and then upset No. 1 seeded Luke Synn of Furman, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10), in a thriller.
In D2 Singles, Kealy received a bye in his first match before coming from behind to beat Liberty's Guillem Seconell, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, to make the semifinals.
In other matches, junior Sam Williams went 1-1 in A1 Singles, losing to Duke's Josh Levine, 6-2, 6-4, and defeating Furman's Matt Browne, 6-2, 7-6 (2), and junior Zach Hublitz outlasted Penn State's Michael Reilly, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, before narrowly losing to Duke's Cale Hammond, 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3).
Sophomore Christian Van der Burgh won his first match in C2 Singles over UNC Charlotte's Francis Pare, 6-4, 6-1, but dropped a 7-5, 6-2 decision to South Carolina State's Khalil Naji.
Play continues Saturday in both singles and doubles at the home of the Demon Deacons.

The annual Hope Center of Greenville banquet will take place on Saturday, with former Naval Special Warfare Officer Clint Bruce as the guest speaker.
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas and raised in Dallas, Bruce was a standout football player at the United States Naval Academy lettering for four years and named captain of the '96 Aloha Bowl Champion team.
After graduating from the United States Naval Academy, Bruce had brief stints in the NFL before entering the elite Navy SEAL community. Upon completing BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) training, he reported to SEAL Team 5 where he had the opportunity to deploy in various positions of command and leadership with three consecutive SEAL Platoons.
Bruce is the founder and president of Trident Response Group, a global intelligence and advisory group headquartered in Dallas. He lives in Dallas with his wife and two children.
The meal will be prepared by Chef Lucas Kiowski and Greenville ISD Culinary Class. The program will feature patriotic music by the low local low brass group, Trombonium Sinfonium, as well as music by Jill Eng.
"Our theme will focus on patriotism, especially honoring military veterans," Hope Center Director Jerry Speight said. "We look forward to having a number of veterans with us for the program."
The Hope Center is a non-profit organization that focuses on reaching out to the underprivileged and the needy. They provide lifeskills training in their computer labe every week at no charge, classes that have helped many local individuals find work.
Donations for the meal will be welcomed and an opportunity will be given to support the work of the Hope Center. The dinner will be at the Family Life Center of First Baptist Church, located at 2615 Crockett Street and will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The event is open to the public.
To RSVP, email the Hope Center at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Weatherford Democrat
— By LARRY M. JONES
Quite regularly, I receive in the mail various solicitations from the alumni association of my old college alma mater. Rarely do I actually open and read them. They normally go directly into "File 13."
I made an exception this past year. A representative called me asking that I update my personal contact information for an alumni directory to be published later in the year. I complied with their request and provided them with more information than even the National Security Agency (NSA) knows about me. In addition, I received an invitation to purchase a copy of the directory, which ranged from a deluxe gold embossed leather bound "coffee table" edition on down to a CD containing names of classmates within five years, plus or minus, of my graduation date for a mere 30-something dollars. Being little more than the price of a cup of Starbucks "coffee," I thought it would be nice to see what happened to a few of my old college friends.
For whatever the reason, I have kept up with few of my classmates from my later college years. I suppose this is partially because I went to a large "take a number" public college rather than a smaller, more personal church-supported or private Ivy League university. It seems that each of the last few presidents has had cabinet-level positions for every one of their old Ivy League college buddies. My wife's sister-in-law, Linda, graduated from Howard Payne University in Brownwood, and they must have the world's most active alumni association. From stories she tells of their annual reunions and email exchanges, several of them may possibly be joined at the hip.
I received my unadorned, plain-Jane CD directory last month, and I eagerly whipped it into my computer to see what had happened to my old college friends. I found quite a few of them listed, and several had provided personal and contact information. After almost 50 years, it was great to get an update on these old classmates, their families, their career paths and the accomplishments of many of them. Several of them had long and successful careers as teachers and school administrators, some operated small businesses, several became farmers/ranchers and I saw a couple of others who were also retired military officers.
There were no real surprises in the directory, but I was especially delighted to see the listing of one particular classmate, Patricia, who was a bit more than just a friend. Her brother, Jim, a retired vocational agriculture teacher in Howe, Texas, and I were dormitory roommates for a year, and her oldest brother, Glenn, was a graduate assistant instructor of mine.
Regrettably, I learned that he had been killed in an automobile accident about 15 years ago. They had also grown up on a sandy-land peanut farm and, like me, they sought the better life through education. After almost a half a century, I was pleased to learn that Pat is living the good life near Sacramento, Calif., playing golf several times a week and enjoying her children and grandchildren.
Catching up with my past through this alumni directory was a wonderful trip down memory lane – much better than unexpectedly having my past catch up with me.
Larry M. Jones is a retired Navy commander and aviator who raises cattle and hay in the Brock/Lazy Bend part of Parker County. Comments may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Several individuals associated with Iowa State University and two local executive directors spent a good part of Monday brainstorming on ways to improve signage in Appanoose County.
Joyce Bieber, Chamber executive director, Tod Faris, AEDC executive director and five individuals from Iowa State University conferred at Chariton Valley Planning & Development office before touring parts of Centerville in the afternoon.
Specific areas selected to tour were city park, Lelah Bradley, soccer complex, the Levee, reservoir and downtown.
The tour was a way for the ISU specialists to gather information for analysis to generate ideas on where and what signage would be needed to improve a visitors journey through Centerville.
Faris said Centerville is not unique, as many other small Iowa towns also lack adequate signage to direct a visitor to a specific location.
The ISU experts are scheduled to return to Centerville in the near future to present their findings.

To the editor:
There has been a lot of talk in Amesbury recently about using "branding" to overcome the city's image problem that makes it difficult to attract business development and has left our home values depressed. An editorial in this paper last month noted that"any attempt to brand Amesbury has to deal with the powerful perception that its tax rate is among the highest in the state," but it left out entirely the equally important fact that our school system does not rank on par with our tax rate. We would feel a lot better about having the eighth highest tax rate if our school system was the eighth best in the state, wouldn't we? But, then again, if our school system was the eighth best in the state, our town would be much more attractive and our tax rate would be considerably lower.
The quality of a town's school system is the foundation of its "brand." No glossy logo, catchy slogan or amount of marketing can make people want to live and invest in a town that does not support, even demand, excellent schools. Good public schools are not only the cornerstone of our democracy and the responsibility of all members of our community, they increase property values and attract investment.
Unfortunately, the Amesbury Public Schools have faced budget crisis after budget crisis for as long as I can remember. As we struggle each year to pass a budget that meets our minimum mandates, we increasingly leave behind our most promising students — the students who would be capable of enhancing our brand by achieving high test scores, gaining admittance to top colleges and succeeding — and giving back — in their post-graduation lives.
This year, the high school band, a vital part of the Amesbury community and, yes, Amesbury's brand, is in danger of being eliminated. No more Memorial Day, Veterans Day or Santa parades. No more pep band to build spirit at football games. This would be yet another layer of disservice to our best, brightest and hardest working kids. Class sizes for non-special education students are big, our teachers are demoralized, and it is difficult for students at the high school level to find appropriate classes to fill their schedules.

To the editor:
This is an open letter to NOAA, northeast administrator John Bullard, and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service:
I am still in shock from Wednesday's meeting.
I don't know what I am supposed to do? I have a $7,000 boat payment a month, along with insurance, dockage and all the other bills that go on and on, along with all of the domestic bills, college for two boys, house mortgage etc.
I have one of the newest draggers in the fleet, and I am — or was — one of the so-called haves in the whole have and have-not scenario that some fishermen have named us. I have always stuck by the service (NOAA) and understand that they have a very tough job and will never make everyone happy. I fully understand that we need to protect our valuable resource, but with all this, there will not be any fishermen left — or buyers.
I can see it now: buyers are already looking elsewhere to get the supply of fish they need. And this country doesn't need more imports of fish.
I really hope Congress or somebody cares enough to fix this somehow. I am absolutely appalled that anyone can even think about charging me for a observer; this is something the government wants, not me. This is just taking every little bit of profit we might have and completely ruining our chance to possibly make it through these tough times.
I beg of you to either cut the observer program by 50 percent so that NOAA can pay for it, or ask Congress, since they won't give us any economic relief.
Please try to do what you can. Our fishery depends on it.

The sample is just five preseason games, and you wont see the Charlotte Bobcats slapping the floor Duke-style, but something is sure working about this teams defense.
The Bobcats clobbered the Philadelphia 76ers Thursday in the annual Cool School exhibition 110-84. Key stat: The 76ers scored just 49 points through three quarters.
By games end, Philadelphia shot 37 percent and committed 23 turnovers. The 76ers are a bad team that played without several of their better players. But the Bobcats are guarding with consistency and purpose.
For the preseason (3-2), theyre allowing 81.4 points and 39 percent shooting. New coach Steve Clifford is reluctant to pronounce this defense a finished product, but he likes what he sees.
Were getting back in transition, were not fouling and were protecting the paint, Clifford said.
It starts with the players wanting to do it. Thats not a coaching thing. We help them with a style of pick-and-roll defense, but it still comes down to them.
Then Clifford offered a caution: The toughest part (about NBA defense) is when LeBron (James) has got the ball at the top (of the key), and then what do you do? You dont get that in the preseason.
Cliffords point that the superstars arent breaking you down for long stretches in exhibitions is valid. But so is the progress this team is making defensively. Shooting guard Gerald Henderson, the longest-tenured Bobcat, sees a difference he says started over the summer.
Weve got a group of guys who love to play, love to compete and are tired of losing, Henderson said. We all like each other and that matters (to synergy).
I think every practice, every game and every shootaround weve taken seriously. Were improving every day.
Points in the lane and free-throw attempts seem a good indicator: In seasons past the Bobcats frequently gave up 50 points in the paint. Thursday they scored 50 there, while allowing the 76ers 36. The Bobcats blocked 12 Philadelphia shots Thursday, including center Bismack Biyombos four.
They did all that without fouling: The 76ers took 18 trips to the foul line to the Bobcats 36. And that wasnt a one-game thing: For the preseason, the Bobcats have attempted 158 free throws to opponents 86.
Clifford mentioned point guard Kemba Walker as a player whos clearly improved defensively. At 6-foot-1 and 184 pounds, it can be a challenge for Walker to hold up physically defending pick-and-roll. But hes been effective so far this preseason.
Maybe Im just putting more effort into it, said Walker (13 points and five assists). (Clifford) has been teaching me ways of not getting hit, of getting around the pick.
Like Clifford, Walker isnt pronouncing the defense fixed just yet, but he likes the trend line:
Were staying disciplined, were talking to each other and were getting stops.

The U.S. men's hockey team has waited four years to get another shot at Canada in the Olympics. The chance comes Friday.
The North American powerhouses will meet at noon in the semifinals, with the winner going for gold against the victor in the Sweden-Finland semifinal. Neither team has lost, but the Americans have had an easier time proving their dominance.
So who will win? Canada, which beat Team USA for gold in 2010? Or the Americans, who are out for revenge?

I write about success, leadership and communications.
Walk into any Apple Retail Store when it opens in the morning and you might notice that all of the new MacBook Pro notebooks with retina display are positioned at exactly the same angle. Employees who open the store use an iPhone app as a level to tilt all the screens to exactly the same angle (the Simply Angle app is a popular choice to measure degree of inclination). How Apple positions the angle of computer screens is just one of the fascinating nuggets of information I learned after spending one year researching the Apple Store experience (read about the Apple "5 steps of service" in this previous column).
The Apple Store pays attention to every detail. You might think that Apple positions all its notebook computers for aesthetic reasons. That's partly true. The tables are uncluttered and the products are clean. But the main reason notebook computers screens are slightly angled is to encourage customers to adjust the screen to their ideal viewing angle—in other words, to touch the computer! It's also why all computers and iPads in the Apple Store are loaded with apps and software and connected to the Internet. Apple wants you to see the display for yourself and to experiment with apps and web sites to experience the power and performance of the devices. Customers in an Apple Retail Store can spend all the time they want playing with the devices and using the Internet—nobody will pressure them to leave.
Multisensory experiences build a sense of ownership. Interactivity—what I call the 'multisensory experience'—is built in to every aspect of the Apple Store experience. For example, trainers who teach customers how to use Apple products in "One to One" workshops do not touch the computer without permission. Instead they guide customers to find the solutions themselves. You see, the Apple Store was never created on the premise that people want to buy stuff. Instead Apple discovered that by creating an ownership experience, customers would be more loyal to the brand.
The Apple Store was designed to create an ownership experience from the moment a customer walks through the door. When Steve Jobs gave a tour of the first Apple Store in 2001, he said that all computers were connected to the Internet. "You can go up to any computer and start surfing, go to your personal web site, or do whatever you want to do on the Internet." The devices have changed but you can still walk up to any product in the store and start using it—read books on the iPad, discover apps on an iPod Touch, listen to music on an iPod, or play games on the new MacBook Pro. The ownership experience is more important than a sale.
The difference between Apple and Best Buy. The first time I brought my two young daughters into an Apple Store, a sales associate (Apple calls them 'specialists'), encouraged my girls to touch and play with an iPad. Once he showed them how to use a Disney Princess coloring app, it was over. My girls didn't want to leave and to this day they want to go to the Apple Store every time we visit the mall. The Apple Store made a connection with my daughters because they made it easy for them to touch the products, encouraged them to do so, and let them play with the products for as long as they wanted.
Walk into a 'big box' retailer and you often find the opposite scenario. The devices are turned off and the screens are black. It should be no surprise that some of these retailers like Best Buy are in financial trouble and looking for ways to improve the customer experience. They might start by visiting an Apple Store. As I was writing this column, I realized that my daughters have never asked me to take them to Best Buy even though I've purchased items for them at the store several times. But they want to return to the Apple Store just to play with the devices. You see, Apple has learned what many other businesses are just beginning to figure out—make it fun for people to connect with your product using all their senses.
Build-A-Bear turns a commodity into childhood memories. Multisensory experiences can work for any product, not just computers. Build-A-Bear Workshop is a global company with 400 locations that offers an interactive, multisensory experience. Children participate in the actual creation of their stuffed animals. Think about it. Stuffed animals are sold everywhere (I know because I often return from my trips with stuffed animals for my daughters). Yet Build-A-Bear has won the hearts of millions of children by turning a commodity into a treasured childhood memory. That's why Build-A-Bear is not called a store, but a 'workshop.'
Our brains love multisensory experiences. The more you engage your customers' senses, the more likely it is that they will engage with your product on an emotional level and reward you with their loyalty. So the next time you walk into an Apple Store, pay attention to the smallest details. You might learn something valuable about building loyal customers.

Why Amazon Can't Make A Kindle In The USA
A very interesting observation! Now that I think about Apple and Build-A-Bear…and compare this to professional experiences, we use multisensory effects in humble professions too: teaching, healing, & community service in many ways….
It was exactly this "don't touch the machine" attitude of Sony Salesman that drove me away from the Sony Vaio I made my mind to buy and in the process of discovering alternatives, ultimately landed a MacBook Pro in 2007. I thank the Sony people even today for that. 2000 USD is big deal in India for me. I was going to shell out that much for that Sony machine and they dont want me to even touch it, whereas when I landed at the Mac shop, they let me use the machine to my satisfaction even in a small town of India before I actually bought it. I was sold completely, and I am still loyal to the brand for its greatly innovative products.
This article (and Kamesh's comment about Sony) really nails the success factor for Apple.
Apple rigorously examines consumer needs and designs simple solutions based on core consumer benefits. The strength of their approach becomes obvious when compared to other (past) category leaders.
This became obvious when the Mac was launched and WYSIWYG was the benefit. Drafting a document on a Mac versus a PC was a ridiculously easy experience. And it forced PC users to defend why it was better to have to go into code to format the document. This only reinforced why early Apple users felt better about their purchases.
Apple commands its stock price not because of sexiness but because they understand the human desire for intriguing yet intuitive brands. And they embrace how much "brand" truly extends beyond a product into their entire way of doing things.
Steve Jobs left quite a legacy for marketers to follow. Imagine what we could do if everyone challenged the status quo and fought for meaningful benefits for our customers.
Rand Pearsall
I'm not sure I understand. I'm still trying to figure out why a particular angle of the screen would be more seductive than another. Is it just the fact that the laptop is open that makes us feel free to adjust it? Does it have to be open to over 90 degrees? Being able to play with the gear at Apple stores is a well known attraction.
first, I think it's aesthetics.. all the laptops lined up the same way just looks nice.
second – it could be the way they're set is at a less than optimal viewing angle, so people HAVE to touch the screen in order to see the best image.
My guess is that at 70 degrees, it captures the attention of people walking past the store who are at a certain distance with the apple products. When objective number 1 is achieved where these people are drawn into the store to take a look at the computers, they will then have to adjust the screens so that it fits the angle when they're standing next to the tables, which in this case creates ownership experience as Carmine has mentioned.
I know Apple tries to create a standard set of directives for its retail distributors, but I don't think experiences are the same everywhere. Just ranting because of the attitude of one of the staff at the recent Apple store I went to is horrendous.
The brilliance of Apple's marketing goes beyond its stores, as Micah Solomon wrote in his guest post, "Four Things Every Compsny Can Learn From Apple."

Gear Review: Palsa Pinch On Floats Strike Indicator
Author: Trouts Staff
I was first introduced to the Palsa Pinch On Floats strike indicators while fishing the Yampa River tailwaters below Stagecoach State Park. This was probably 10 or more years ago, a time when the yarn poly-vee was as good as it got...at least, so I thought! While sight fishing a decent run, holding a few wily rainbows, I noticed that whenever my massive "ball of yarn" came over them that they would move to the side. Once my rig had drifted through, yep you guessed it, they would move right back. Absurd I thought, fish can't be that smart. That was one of my first introductions to highly educated trout that were sensitive to both indicators and split shot. Upon my realization, I voiced my frustration to my buddy just upstream. He had the solution, Palsa Pinch On Strike Indicators...his were white. Since that day, even with the advent of the varying sizes/colors of the Thingamambobber, I've carried Palsa Pinch On Indicators in my bag.

The U.S. Postal Service will announce the end of Saturday mail delivery this morning, according to Fox News.
"What's being reported is one of those things that we are looking at as another possible cost-cutting measure," said Michael Miles, spokesperson for the Atlanta District of the USPS. "So for now it's part of a study that we are looking at over the next five years to reduce our costs."
Saturday mail delivery will end in August. The move, which does not affect package delivery, is expected to save $2 billion annually, the report indicated.
On Tuesday, The Huffington Post reported that Hallmark Cards, Inc. has hired lobbyists who will ask Congress to keep Saturday delivery and consider other cost-saving measures. According to the report, postal workers say the move could result in the loss of 80,000 jobs.
"It's just another one of those things we are looking at too," said Miles.

CHEROKEE — A month removed from an intense primary fight, Republicans sought to unite behind U.S. Senate candidate Thom Tillis at the party convention Saturday, even as the divisions remained visible.
Democrats met the same day in Raleigh to organize an effort to help re-elect U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, as the party seeks to retain one of its few statewide posts and recovers from a leadership dispute that crippled the party earlier this year.
In Cherokee, from a stage at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort, Tillis said he appreciated the primary, saying "it gave us a great opportunity to talk about the things that we as conservatives believe in."
The House speaker appealed directly to Republican activists for support, emphasizing the stakes in the race and the real target.
"But now is the time to bring the battle to Kay Hagan," he said. "With a majority in the U.S. Senate, we can slow this president down. … We can begin to repair this nation."
In Raleigh, Hagan touted her record in Washington, not mentioning President Barack Obama once, instead attempting to link Tillis to the outside groups helping to boost his campaign.
"That's why the stakes are so high this year," she said. "It's a clear contrast – my work to put North Carolina first or Mr. Tillis who has shown he will pick the special interests over our families every single time."
The top-ticket race took center stage at both events because North Carolina's contest is among a handful that could tip the partisan balance of the U.S. Senate.
More attention focused on Republicans, given the primary battle and the convention location. The party amended its platform to soften the language on gambling, as 4,000 glimmering slot machines whirled one floor below.
The gambling facility, operated by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, is thriving after the Republican-led legislature and former Gov. Bev Perdue approved a new gambling compact in 2011 that allowed live table games and video poker. The tribe has given about $1.3 million to Republican and Democratic candidates since 2004.
Brannon a no-show
Some Republicans cited the casino and remote location for not attending. A number of other prominent Republicans – including U.S. Sen. Richard Burr and members of the state's congressional delegation – opted to attend a fundraiser for U.S. House Speaker John Boehner in Greensboro.
Republican Party officials said only a handful of locations in the state can accommodate a meeting for roughly 1,000 people. About 630 attended the first convention in the western part of the state in recent years.
Saturday's event drew two 2016 presidential contenders – Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee – who reinforced how important the primary is to the power struggle in Washington.
"Electing (Tillis) to the U.S. Senate means we can retire Harry Reid as the majority leader," Jindal said at a luncheon event.
Before Tillis spoke, four of his former rivals took the microphone to endorse him, but his chief challenger, tea party favorite Greg Brannon, did not attend.
The fault lines from the race were visible throughout the convention.
"As for the U.S. Senate race, I think right now it's a tossup because Thom Tillis only got 45 percent of the vote," said Bobby Crawford, a 28-year-old Wilmington delegate. "I think really he has to get the tea party and the libertarian wings of the party on board with him."
Like Crawford, Gates County delegate Dede Hill supported Brannon. Both said they will vote for Tillis but not actively campaign for him.
"Kay's got to go," Hill said, standing near one of the many "Congratulations Thom Tillis" signs at the convention. "I will honor the Republican Party, but I will not break my back to get him elected."
Other Republicans voiced strong support for Tillis. "We took a vote at our district convention ... to support whoever won," said Jennifer Conner of Macon County. "I think everybody is so on board it's not even a concern."
In an interview, Tillis said his campaign is reaching out to the supporters of other candidates. "All we have to do is make them aware of our record," he said. "I think it's an agenda that mirrors very much what we think we need to do in Washington. And I think at the end of the day the greatest unifier is the failure of Kay Hagan."
'Moral Mondays'
Across the state in Raleigh, Democrats approved resolutions to support the "Moral Monday" protests and congratulate the Obama administration for a successful roll-out of the federal health care law.
Held at the Raleigh Convention Center, the convention attracted Democrats from 75 of the 100 counties. Organizers said between 600 and 700 people attended.
Later in the evening, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas congresswoman, addressed about 380 Democrats at the party's Jefferson-Jackson dinner.
Democrats expressed cautious optimism about their chances in November, saying the key is to educate voters about Tillis' record in the House, such as votes to revoke tenure for teachers, lifting the moratorium on fracking and refusing to expand Medicaid health coverage for low-income residents.
"I think independent voters will be scared of what could happen at the national level because of what they've seen happen at the state level," said David Conner of Cary.
Education was the first issue mentioned by Attorney General Roy Cooper in his speech. Cooper is exploring a bid for governor in 2016.
"People are paying attention to what's happening in Raleigh," he said. "They're giving teachers more students than they can teach, and less pay and respect than they deserve."
Saying the state had been "hijacked by extremists," Cooper urged the crowd to elect Hagan and looked ahead to 2016 in saying it would be "the battle for the heart and soul of North Carolina."

Mark Twain Elementary School was a hub of activity on Wednesday and Thursday evening, July 23 and 24, as Westerville Caring & Sharing volunteers gathered to fill dozens of book bags with donated school supplies and personal hygiene products. The organization's annual Back to School project helps hundreds of Westerville students each year.
The Westerville City School District is piloting a Health Heroes Flu Vaccination Clinic for the State of Ohio. The event will take place on September 10 and 11 at 23 sites throughout the district – all school buildings, plus the Early Learning Center and the Transportation Complex. The goal is to reduce absenteeism for students and staff.
On Wednesday, August 6, during the week of back-to-school registration and schedule pick-up, Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) will be providing a convenient opportunity for Westerville City Schools students to get required immunizations and other medical services through its Care Mobile.
Students in the Westerville City School District who will be riding a school bus for the first time this fall are invited, along with their parents or guardians, to attend the annual First Time Riders open house, which will be held at Whittier Elementary School from 9:00 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, July 29. Whittier is located at 130 E. Walnut St in Westerville.
As required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA 2004), the Westerville City School District is conducting the annual Child Find campaign to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities from birth through age 21, residing within the school district. This includes Westerville children with disabilities who are homeless, wards of the state, or attending nonpublic schools, regardless of the severity of the disability.
Families whose children will receive transportation services for the 2014-15 school year may obtain transportation information and bus schedules online the week of August 4, 2014.
Senior citizens who live in the Westerville City School District are invited to pick up their 2014-2015 Superintendent's Gold Appreciation Card.

Overloaded backpacks are weighing down some students.
While doctors say there is no evidence of heavy backpacks causing permanent damage, they are concerned about the pain kids are enduring, especially the younger ones.
"There are studies that show that kids are carrying heavier weights than what we recommend are having more back pain issues, and they're showing up in our clinics and even our emergency rooms with complaints of back pain," says orthopedic surgeon Dr. Laurel Blakemore.
Doctors recommend students only carry up to 15 percent of their body weight.
Experts say it's important for the backpack's weight to be distributed evenly.
That means not putting al the weight on one shoulder and avoiding totes or messenger bags.
The bag should not fall more than four inches below the waist and the shoulder strap anchor points should be one to two inches below the top of the shoulders.

The 2011 KTM 990 Supermoto was introduced in two models; the offroad model and the sport model. The KTM 990 Supermoto T is the sport model, while the KTM 990 Supermoto R is the offroad version. The main differences between the two are that the sport model offers a slightly lower seat and a slightly larger fuel tank for longer highway travel between fuel stops. Both bikes are manufactured in Austria and are offered at just shy of $14,000.
The 2011 KTM 990 Supermoto R is considered a great looking and even better performing bike right off the showroom floor. With carbon heat protection shields and the tank and seat creating an optimal seating situation, the bike not only looks good and is comfortable. It also performs well at higher speeds and in various conditions.
In regard to appearance, the 2011 KTM 990 looks like a hybrid between a dirt bike and a road bike. The frame is similar in shape to a dirt bike, but the forks and road tires give it an on-road look. KTM claims that the 990 Supermoto is one of the best all-around bikes on the market- perfect for offroad fun or daily commuting in the city. It is rather stylish and competes well in its segment in areas of performance and comfort. Moreover, the KTM name has become synonymous with build quality and top-of-the-line engineering, so buyers can feel confident in its reliability.

The Herald-Tribune
Officials at Uni-Ref Inc., a refractory products manufacturer, announced plans Nov. 28 to relocate its headquarters from Sharonville, Ohio, to Brookville, creating up to 50 new jobs by 2015, reported Indiana Economic Development Corp. spokesperson Katelyn Hancock.
The company, which is a subsidiary of United Refractories Co., McMurray, Pa., will purchase and renovate a 270,000-square-foot facility on a 23-acre campus at 8031 Golden Road. The facility will be fully operational by early next year.
Dan Hasler, Secretary of State and IEDC chief executive officer, said, "It is not by accident that the national trend of companies relocating work to Indiana continues despite the slow national economy. By choosing the Hoosier state as the home of its headquarters, Uni-Ref re-affirms Indiana's reputation for low taxes, high-quality production and talented workforce."
Uni-Ref, which currently employs 55 associates at its Ohio and Pennsylvania facilities, plans to begin hiring new production, warehouse and quality control associates in Brookville next year.
Fred Daniels, Uni-Ref vice president of operations, explained, "There were numerous reasons for choosing Indiana as our new location. The No. 1 reason was the business-friendly environment and lower tax base for businesses. The support from local Hoosiers and the Franklin County Economic Development Corp. also made it easy to choose Brookville as the location for our new headquarters."
Founded in 1983 in Sharonville, Uni-Ref manufactures a heat-resistant material that makes up the protective linings of high-temperature furnaces, reactors and other processing units. The ISO 9001-certified company has grown its business to include customers around the world in the foundry, steel, aluminum, cement, lime and power industries.
IEDC offered Uni-Ref up to $500,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $70,000 in training grants based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. Franklin County will support the project through additional incentives at the request of the Franklin County Economic Development Commission.
"The addition of 50 new jobs is a shot in the arm for Franklin County," said county Commissioner Scott McDonough. "We are thrilled that Uni-Ref has chosen Brookville for its headquarters and look forward to a long-standing relationship with the company."
Uni-Ref is the 12th company this year to make plans to relocate operations from a neighboring state to Indiana, accounting for more than 780 new jobs and more than $30.7 million capital investment.

Class Mammalia
Order Carnivora
Family Procyonidae
Bassariscus sp.—Ringtails // Bassariscus astutus—Ringtail // Bassariscus casei—Case's Ringtail // Procyon sp.—Raccoons // Procyon lotor—Raccoon // Procyon rexroadensis—Rexroad Raccoon
Procyonids are medium to medium-large mammals generally considered to be omnivores, though the Ringtail veers to the carnivorous side.
Three species of procyonids occur in our regions: Bassariscus astutus (Ringtail), Nasua narica (White-nosed Coati), and Procyon lotor (Raccoon). The coati barely enters into our region today in southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. It is unknown from the region as a fossil. The Raccoon, though quite widespread today in our region, is represented only by a single record at the margin of the region. In contrast, Ringtails are common in both the modern-day region and as fossils.

Synonyms. Bassariscus sonoitensis Skinner 1942.
Ringtails are common inhabitants of the Southwestern roughlands, from low desert to montane forests. They also are fairly common members of late Pleistocene faunas. These agile members of the Raccoon family tend to be somewhat more carnivorous than Raccoons. They are at home wherever there are climbable surfaces, easily scaling near-vertical rock faces. They are known to occasionally venture beyond the twilight zone of caves.

Bassariscus sonoitensis was described from Papago Springs cave, Santa Cruz County, Arizona (Skinner 1942). Czaplewski et al. (1989) used radiometric dating to determine that the age of the deposits predated the late Wisconsin, thus suggesting that perhaps B. sonoitensis was ancestral to B. astutus. Harris (1990b) examined the relationship between B. sonoitensis and B. astutus, arriving at the conclusion that the former should be considered a synonym of B. astutus, although possibly deserving of temporal subspecific status based on it being characteristically within or near the upper limits of the present populations on the characters of tooth length and width and of robustness of muzzle.

Despite numerous records of fossil Raccoons to the east and to the west, and despite the presence of Raccoons in the central portions of our region today, they are absent as fossils from the center of our region. Our only record on the east is from Blackwater Draw, where several taxa otherwise known from east of our region show up in the fossil record. The most likely reason for this pattern is eastern forms moving up the gallery forests typical of the drainageways. They appear again in the fossil record along the western edge of the region.
The evidence strongly suggests recent invasion for most of the central region, probably as a result of human occupation of the area with the resultant food supply in the way of crops and garbage. Current distribution seems to be concentrated in river valleys and mountain forests in the vicinity of towns and campgrounds.

It turns out Uranus has a cosmic companion as it circles the sun from nearly 1.8 billion miles away. Scientists have detected a trojan an asteroid-like object that shares a planets orbit moving ahead of the ice giant.
The discovery of 2011 QF99 was reported in August in the journal Science. And it was found almost by accident.
Mike Alexandersen, a doctoral student in astronomy at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, wasnt looking for a trojan. Nor was he studying Uranus.
He and his colleagues were surveying the trans-Neptunian region of the outer solar system, hoping to see what kinds of orbits the objects there followed. (Studying the patterns of objects orbits in the region helps scientists understand how the solar system formed some 4.5 billion years ago.)
As Alexandersen and the team examined images snapped using the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope in 2011 and 2012, they noticed one object that was moving across the field of vision more quickly than the others. It was an indication that the object was closer to Earth than the rest.
Seeing something that moved the way 2011 QF99 did was a shocker.
The scientists had expected to see objects known as centaurs, which often move toward the center of the solar system along quirky paths. But over the course of a year of observations, they realized this particular space rock was traveling in an orbit very much like that of Uranus.
That made it seem more like a trojan, gravitationally bound to its planet. The mysterious object also oscillated the same way a trojan would.
It was, in fact, a trojan, said Alexandersen, who added that team members were certainly not anticipating finding something as cool as this.
Whats in trans-Neptunian region
University of California at Los Angeles planetary scientist David Jewitt said that the trans-Neptunian region is the source of all sorts of objects hurtling about the solar system, providing a rain of stuff cascading inward toward the sun. As they move about, they get caught up in planets gravity either getting hurled away or thrown further inward.
Chunks that float around in the zone of the giant planets are called centaurs. Those that make it into the inner solar system, heating and vaporizing in the suns heat, are known as comets.
Trojans are the bits that get captured in particular locations in a planets orbit where gravity from the sun and gravity from the planet interact to lock them in place.
Some trojans around Mars, Neptune and especially Jupiter are permanently bound to their planets, and have been for billions of years. Others, like 2011 QF99 and Earths trojan 2010 TK7, are only temporarily trapped in their orbits.

About a half dozen Clarkstown residents commented positively on a petition by Wolfe Landing, LLC for a zoning change at Tuesday night's town board public hearing. Wolfe Landing requested a zoning change from laboratory office district to active adult residence, which the town board approved.
"There is a need for this type of housing," said one West Nyack in support of the rezoning. Another said, "Now there is a place for us to go."
Several of the speakers said they lived at the nearby Eden Rock complex, built by the same developer. It is a 34-unit active adult residence designed for 55 and older.
The approved rezoning applies to a parcel of 8.3 acres on the south side of West Nyack Road. The developer's plans are for 43 two-bedroom units in two story duplex and triplex buildings. In the resolution approving the zoning change, the town stipulated that seven of the units have to be affordable units and the developer is required to "contract with a qualified agency to administer, maintain and oversee the sale of affordable units.
The resolution included a statement from Town Principal Planner Joe Simoes, which he had been made at a planning board meeting in September. He said the rezoning was appropriate for reasons including "vehicular access (West Nyack Road and Medical Park Drive) and pedestrian access (existing and newly built sidewalks to west Nyack Hamlet Center) and is near public transportation (Eden Park bus stop), medical care (Palisades Medical across the street) and recreation (JCC)." In addition to getting planning board approval, the project had a State Environmental Quality Review.
According to the resolution, the developer is required to pay $1,600 per unit to help defray the costs of the West Nyack Revitalization Program. The resolution notes the market rate units are projected to cost approximately $485,000. The affordable units must be priced for someone whose income is 80 percent of the 2011 Rockland County Media Income of $101,700. The affordable units would be sold for about $325,000 to people earning $81,360 annually.
Several years ago, the town board created the Active Adult Residence (AAR) zone, an unmapped floating zone. The purpose of the AAR is to provide housing for people 55 years old and older throughout Clarkstown.
The topic of senior housing will come up again in November. The board scheduled a public hearing for Thursday, November 10 at 8 p.m. on a proposed local law to amend chapter 290 of the zoning law "with respect to Hamlet Center senior housing."

Republicans in the Senate passed the Photo ID bill for the third time.
So that means Democrats will have to introduce their own set of election reforms as a separate bill.
Democrats held a press conference earlier today to unveil how they would change the election system to prevent voter fraud.
The Republican bill would require you to show a state issued photo ID before you are allowed to vote.
Senate Democrats say the bill targets traditional democratic voters like the elderly, African Americans, and Latinos.
"I think one cam draw a conclusion that they're not trying to encourage people to vote, they're trying to suppress the vote," says senate minority leader Judy Robson.
Governor Doyle has vetoed similar bills twice in the past two years, saying they would disenfranchise many elderly and poor voters.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Legislation that would increase the fine for not wearing a seat belt is scheduled to be heard by lawmakers on Tuesday.
The Senate version is to be heard first in the Senate Finance Committee, and the companion bill is scheduled for later in the House Transportation Committee.
Currently the penalty for not wearing a seat belt is $10. Under this proposal, the fine would be $50.
Sponsors say the measure is simply to encourage people to buckle up.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Greetings on another spectacular summer night at ... oops, it's Oct. 24. Easy to forget with this great weather. Another sunny, 80-degree day and another perfect night for the World Series as we get set for Game Five at Rangers Ballpark.
We have an off day tomorrow in St. Louis and it's supposed to be 82 there, which is terrific considering how it rained and rained and we froze in Games 1-2 as the temperatures got down into the 30s. I endured some frigid winds and rain to get to my trip up the Arch last week, and I'll probably enjoy a little walk in the park tomorrow.
As for Game Six on Wednesday? Good lord. The temperatures are going to be in the mid-50s and there's an 80 percent chance of rain all day. It doesn't look good at all but things are fine for Thursday and Friday so all of us covering this series are bracing for an extra off day in St. Loo.
Roger Staubach just got a big roar with the first pitch, down and away and scooped by former Rangers pitcher Kenny Rogers (who by now probably washed his 2006 vintage pine tar from his hand). As for the anthem: Demi Lovato? Ugh. Terrible.
---Mike Harrington
Cardinals lineup: Furcal, ss; Craig, rf; Pujols, 1b; Holliday, lf; Berkman, dh; Freese, 3b; Molina, c; Schumaker, cf; Punto, 2b.....Carpenter pitching
Rangers lineup: Kinsler, 2b; Andrus, ss; Hamilton, cf; Young, dh; Beltre, 3b; Cruz, rf; Murphy, lf; Napoli, c; Moreland, 1b....Wilson pitching.
End-1st: The first pitch, a ball from Wilson to Furcal, came at 7:09 CT and it's 72 degrees. It feels warmer. Very nice. On the third pitch, Furcal lines a rocket right into the glove of Beltre at third -- just like he did to lead off the first inning last night. Bizarre. Wilson pitches 1-2-3 first, getting Pujols for the third out on a line drive to center field that saw the Cardinals give their star the green light on a 3-0 pitch. Pujols is 0 for 11 in Games 1-2-4-5 of this series. Of course, there's that matter of Game Three.
Mid-2nd: The Cardinals must not have liked me cracking on the offense as they've gotten to Wilson -- who. is. working. sooooooooo. slowly. -- to take a 2-0 lead. Wilson opened with walks to Holliday and Berkman, then gave out a one-out RBI single to left to Molina (right), which Murphy booting and dropping the ball in left for an error that allowed Berkman to third. Schumaker then grounded to first to Cruz, who dropped it while eyeing home and had to step on the back as Berkman scored. Murphy then redeemed himself with a sensational play for the final out, a headlong dive to his left Ron Swoboda style, to snare Punto's liner and save another run. Cards lead, 2-0. Early lead for Carpenter. It was a 30-pitch inning for Wilson after an eight-pitch first.
End-3rd: Wilson continues to struggle and even made an error, flipping Furcal's topper past Cruz at first. After a sacrifice, an intentional walk to Pujols helped the get the Rangers out of the inning as Holliday grounded into a 5-4-3 DP with runners at the corners. Texas then came back to break through against Carpenter in the bottom of the inning as Moreland, batting 2 for 23 in the postseason, sent a one-out bomb to right, a 424-foot laser into the upper deck. Cards lead, 2-1.
Mid-5th: We're halfway home with the Cards still up, 2-1, but the Rangers are using the walk-Albert strategy to perfection. They've done it twice, giving Holliday a chance with five men on base, and haven't given up a run. This was a 24-pitch inning and No. 100, a full-count offering to Holliday with the bases loaded ended up as a routine grounder to short, leaving the Cards 1-7 in RSP situations tonight.
Wilson got in trouble by giving up a leadoff single to Schumaker and a four-pitch walk to Punto that brought Napoli to the mound (left). You wonder how long he is for this game. But the folks here are happy as we head into "Deep in the Heart of Texas" time. Wilson at 100 pitches, just 52 strikes. Survival mode, but certainly not the way to get a big payday in free agency either.
Mid-6th: Wilson is mercifully out of the game but with no further damage. He gave up a one-out single and was relieved by Scott Feldman, who gave up a single to Molina. A Schumaker grounder sent runners to second and third but Punto struck out to end the inning. The Cardinals are 1-9 in RSP situations and have left seven. Wilson went 5 1/3 innings, allowing four hits, two runs (one earned), five walks and three strikeouts. He threw 108 pitches, 57 strikes. Ugly. But he survived.
End-6th: And the Cardinals' lack of run production is officially haunting them now as the game is tied. With two out and nobody on, Carpenter hung a 75-mph curveball and Beltre was waiting for it, corkscrewing himself into the ground and even going down on his right knee to golf it into the seats in left. Carpenter then gave up singles to Cruz and Murphy and got a visit from pitching coach Dave Duncan. Napoli got the crowd jazzed with a long drive but Schumaker hauled it in near the 407-foot sign in center field. Game tied, 2-2.
Mid-7th: Allen Craig has been great in this series but what did he just do? He walked with one out off Alexi Ogando and tried to steal second with Pujols batting. I don't care if he's safe or out, that was just stupid. In this case, he was out and the Rangers still went ahead and walked Pujols. Holliday singled him first to third, taking second as Pujols forced a throw home and Berkman was walked intentionally. Freese then lofted the first pitch for a fly to center and Texas escaped again. St. Louis' damage tab: 1-10 in RSP situations with 10 LOB -- eight in scoring position.
End-7th: La Russa shows faith in Carpenter, keeping him in against Hamilton with two out and a man on first. Faith rewarded. Fly ball to center on the first pitch. It was Carpenter's 101st pitch. I say he comes out for one more inning. Game remains tied at 2-2.
End-8th: The Cardinals played with fire too long but not driving in runs and they got burned. Napoli did the damage with a two-run double to right-center with the bases loaded. He's got nine RBIs in the series and is the leader in the clubhouse for MVP honors. The Rangers lead, 4-2, and they're three outs away from the series lead.
IT'S OVER: Neftali Feliz gets the save, striking out Pujols in the ninth in the process, and Texas has a 3-2 lead in the series with a 4-2 win. See you Wednesday in St. Louis.
