Two second-half goals lifted the Creighton women to a 2-1 win over North Dakota State in the Jays' final exhibition game of the season Saturday afternoon in Rosemount, Minnesota.
Down 1-0 after the first half, the Bluejays tied the game on an unassisted goal from sophomore Kirstyn Corder in the 60th minute. Corder beat NDSU keeper Sierra Bonham on a slot kick to the lower left corner of the goal at 59:50.
Just under eight minutes later, Creighton took the lead on a goal by senior Lauren Cingoranelli, who took a pass from freshman Lauren Sullivan and sent it into the lower right corner of the net at 67:47.
CU out-shot the Bison 15-6, including 8-2 in the second half.
Creighton opens the regular season next Friday at Utah State.

I agree on the middle ground, which I suspect is Ryan's position. We need to acquire several SP, but only ones who have the potential to be around in 2015. My hope is they sign Sanchez (only 28 years old) and trade for two young pitchers (Minor, Delgado, Hellickson, Paxton...). Those guys would make us better next year and get some experience for a run by 2015, maybe even 2014. The Twins should avoid any SP past his early thirties. I was pushing for Shields, but now I only think it makes sense if he will sign an extension. I don't want to see Willingham, Span or Morneau leave, but at least we have potential replacements for them. Without pitching we are just spinning our wheels towards another 60-70 win season.

I really don't understand this insistence that Shields needs to be signed to an extension if he's traded for. He's signed until he's 33. Players don't sign 1 yr extensions. He'll be looking for 3 more years particularly since he signed such a cheap deal the first time and this will be his only chance at a multi-year FA contract.
I think most likely the Twins try to get 1-2 of the prospects that the Reds/Braves/M's have to offer.

I agree with the dissent on the either/or position...meaning we either push all our chips to the middle of the table and try to compete next year or resign ourselves to 2015 or beyond. Clearly, the Tigers are better. SP 1-5 they are light years ahead of us. With V-Mart coming back, their lineup will probably be better. At the end of last year, I was not in favor of trading Willingham. Good grief, we needed power and he was it! That said, his value will never be higher and teams like the Braves and Rays have young pitching they would part with. Span's value also won't get much higher. With a surplus of young outfield talent in the minors the Twins can make moves that will improve the team for next year and also build for the future. What would our outlook on the Twins be had THEY made the deal with Miami and not Toronto? We'd have a star shortstop who would fill our leadoff spot, two solid starting pitchers to go with Diamond and an outfielder in Bonifacio that would have stepped in to LF paving the way for a Willingham trade. We have some tradeable assets, the question is how do we use them and how aggressive will be be? Will the best options be gone before we pull the trigger or will waiting improve our leverage. (This is by far the best site to keep up on the Twins with the best bunch of guys sharing their opinion).

Here's the problem. The team's needs now (starting pitching and MI help) will still likely exist in 2015. There's some potential for some help up the middle in the farm system for 2015, but not nearly enough pitching. Essentially that means that they are going to have to make some smart free agent pitching signs over the next two years regardless. I don't know which pitchers are FAs for 2014 and for 2015, but the bottom line is that if they want to be competitive in 2015, that problem is still going to have to be addressed.

It's going to take Terry Ryan and company time to clean up the mess that he inherited from Bill Smith's regime. It was a different philosophy with Smith in charge, and it didn't work, and now they're going back to building the farm system, focusing on instruction and fundamentals. Sadly, the big-league club needs as much work on fundamentals as the Rookie-leaguers.

Good article by Dave Cameron on fangraphs today. "Why I'm not a fan of losing on purpose."
I see this argument a lot as it pertains to teams like the Mets, with valuable walk-year veterans in R.A. Dickey and David Wright. We saw it last year when the A's signed Coco Crisp to play center field. The perceived value of putting a respectable team on the field is quite low, but as the A's showed last year, the actual value of doing just that can be extremely high. We simply don't know enough about the future to say that Dickey and Wright aren't going to be part of the next competitive Mets team. We do not have the forecasting capabilities to look at a 75 win team and tell them that they can't be a 90 win team in the following year.
There's too much variation in baseball for teams to simply accept their most recent record as evidence of their short term future.

MASCOUTAH — With their opponents in a weakened state, the Central Cougars pounced quickly Saturday in the title game of the 36th annual Mascoutah Girls Basketball Invitational.
Senior Maddie Timmermann and sophomore Kendra Wilken keyed a 20-0 run in the second and third quarters and Central held off a late Belleville West rally for a 55-46 win before a large turnout at Mascoutah High School.
The title is the first at Mascoutah for Central since it won three in a row from 1999-2001.
West, coming off an emotional win over 2012 champion Nashville in the semifinals, led 23-16 midway through the second quarter. But when first 6-foot-5 senior Jesheon Cooper and then junior guard Shay Fluker went to the bench with two fouls apiece, the 6-1 Wilken and 5-10 Timmermann took over in the post and the Cougars took over the game.
Central (15-0) outscored West (9-4) 14-0 over the final four minutes of the opening half to take a 30-23 lead.
Wilken, who led Central with 22 points, scored twice and Torre Kohrmann tallied inside in the opening three minutes of the third quarter as Central's lead grew to 36-23.
Fluker ended the run with a free throw with 4:41 left in the third quarter. But by that time Central had a 36-24 advantage
"I was really happy with the way the kids responded. We weren't doing a very good job, at least early, of matching their athleticism. That was something we hadn't seen all year with their quickness and jumping ability,'' Cougars coach Nathan Rueter said. "We were able to get the Cooper kid and the Fluker kid in foul trouble in the second quarter and then we just went to work on them inside.
"We had enough savvy to exploit it without calling time out and talking about it.'
Timmermann, playing with a painful back injury, finished with 15 points for Central, while Kohrmann added 14.
Trailing by as many as 13 points, the Maroons rallied behind Fluker (17 points) and Imani Berry (16).
West cut its deficit to five points on numerous occasions in the second half, but could get no closer.
"If you take out that stretch in the second and third quarters, we outscored them,'' West coach Clayton Fisher aid. "Now who is to say that we wouldn't have done that if they (Cooper and Fluker) were in the game.
"The bottom line is that we've got to learn to stay out of foul trouble.''
Nashville 28, Mater Dei 26
Rebounding from an emotional semifinal loss to Belleville West three hours earlier, the defending Class 2A state champion Hornettes outlasted Mater Dei in the third-place game.
Senior Shawn Rennegarbe scored five of her 10 points and Kiley Pelker added a key 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter for Nashville (13-1).
"There were two pretty tired basketball teams out there,'' Nashville coach Wayne Harre said. "When that happens you are apt to make more mistakes and we made our share. But I was proud of the effort. We did enough good things to get the win.''
Getting six points from Lauren Donnewald, Mater Dei (8-6) led 11-10 early. But when the Hornettes dropped back on defense, Mater Dei couldn't take advantage.
"We just didn't knock down any shots,'' Knights coach David Kohnen said. "When you don't hit shots, defenses are going to sag until you do. We didn't finish.''
Highland 56, Carbondale 43
Olivia LaPorta scored 18 points as Highland (9-4) wore down the Terriers late and breezed to the fifth-place trophy.
Leading 43-38 after three quarters, the Bulldogs got six points from the 5-foot, 10-inch LaPorta in the final period as they broke the game open.
"This was a good day for Highland girls basketball,'' said first-year Bulldogs coach Mike Arbuthnot, whose team finished the tournament 3-1. "We beat a very good (Belleville East) team this morning and then to come back and win against a very good Carbondale team, I'm very pleased.
"With a new coach with a new system coming in this year, it's taken a while for the girls to learn what we want, but we're starting to get it.''
Amanda Ponce added 14 points for Highland. McKena Miller led Carbondale (5-5) with 18 points.
O'Fallon 58, Althoff 43
Senior Jasmine Bonds scored eight of her 22 points to spark an 18-1 scoring run in the third quarter as the Panthers (7-4) went on to capture the consolation title with a win over the Crusaders.
Althoff (6-4) led 28-23 at halftime, but the Panthers' defense tightened in the final period as they broke the game open.
"We would have loved to have won our first game and been in the winner's bracket, O'Fallon coach Ryan Massey said. "But to our girls' credit, they were able to put that loss behind them and come back and beat three quality opponents.''
Ciara Jones added 12 points for the Panthers. Madison Weilbacher and Kyliegh Vaught led Althoff with 10 points apiece.
Central 42, Mater Dei 29
Senior Maddie Timmermann scored 18 points as the top-seeded Cougars won another battle of Breese, this time in the tournament semifinals.
Just three weeks after a 53-30 trouncing at Central, the Knights slowed the powerful Cougars a bit, but couldn't match the inside combination of Timmermann and the 6-1 Wilken, who added 11 points.
A bit sluggish after an impressive quarterfinal win over Highland, Central used a 14-3 run in the second period to break the game open.
The Cougars led 23-9 at halftime.
"That was a key part in the ballgame,'' Rueter said. "We had that nice little run there and were able to open the lead.
"Elite teams are able to find a way to get it done on days when things aren't working exactly the way you want. That's what we did today.''
Avoynna Kampwerth scored 10 points for Mater Dei, which once again baffled its opponent with its tight zone defense. But offensively, the Knights were no match for Central.
"We're getting better,'' Knights coach David Kohnen said. "We just didn't hit enough shots. I was pleased with our effort."
Belleville West 30, Nashville 28
Junior Shay Fluker ended the drama of a tight battle when she made two free throws with 3.3 seconds remaining as the Maroons ended the repeat hopes of the Hornettes.
Tied at 28 and after calling its second time out in the final 10 seconds, the inbounds pass went to Fluker who drove the lane and was fouled by Nashville junior Jordi Harre.
Fluker made both shots and when a desperation attempt fell well short at the buzzer, West had its biggest win of the season.
"We had a couple of options there. Shay could have given it back to Jesheon (Cooper) in the post or she could take it to the basket,'' West coach Clayton Fisher said. "I know it sounds cliche after we win the game. But this a great high school basketball game. It had everything you could want. Two good teams, a big crowd and a game that goes down to the last three seconds. I would feel the same way even if we had lost.''
Early in the third quarter, it looked like West was headed to the third-place game.
Tied at 12 at halftime, Nashville went on a 13-4 run over the first five minutes of the third quarter as Harre, Hannah Young and Emily Thompson all hit 3s, putting the Hornettes up 25-16.
West closed the third quarter with an 8-0 run, setting the stage for a low-scoring fourth quarter dominated by the defenses.
"West is a very quick, athletic team. It's team that we just don't matchup very well against,'' Hornettes coach Wayne Harre said. "We tried. I'm thought we gave a good effort and played hard.''
Highland 57, Belleville East 47
Amanda Ponce scored 24 points and Emily Holtzclaw added 16 points as the Bulldogs reached the fifth-place game.
Brynesha Mosby led East (8-6) with 15 points.
Carbondale 59, Mascoutah 48
Kandace Jones scored 14 points and McKena Miller added 13 as Carbondale edged the Indians in a consolation semifinal.
One of three players in double figures, Maddie Nekola topped Mascoutah with 13 points.

RICHMOND — By late Friday afternoon, Richmond Police had called off the search for a man who led officers on a chase about midday.
Chief Larry Brock said the man, who was stopped by officers for walking along Interstate 75 near Exit 87, was wanted on a Boone County warrant for a misdemeanor.
Brock said the search, which included deputies from the Madison County Sheriff's department and the K-9 unit from the Berea Police Department, was called off due to the nature of the man's charges, saying the resources being used outweighed the offense.
Brock declined to identify the man or give a description because no arrest had been made.
Shorly before noon, an officer saw the man and stopped to tell him he couldn't walk on the interstate, according to Chief Larry Brock.
As the officer was checking his ID, the man ran away toward Richmond Centre. The officer pursued him on foot.
The man ran behind Jack's BP gas station and then into the Logan's restaurant parking lot, according to Bobby Bowen, who said he witnessed the chase.
The man hopped over a fence and ran across the interstate onto Leighway Drive, but then crossed back over I-75 toward Richmond Centre, Bowen said.
At that point, Bowen, who was driving a van, saw the lone officer chasing the man and followed him behind Hastings.
"Something just spoke to me," Bowen said. "It said 'you might need to get involved.'"
He blocked the man in with his van and got out to apprehend him.
The man then jumped off a 15-foot drop behind Hastings and ran toward a nearby barn.
At that point, local law enforcement officers converged on the scene, and the K-9 unit from the Berea Police Department was brought in to track the man.
Scanner traffic during the pursuit indicated the man took off his red shirt and may have injured his leg when he jumped off the small cliff.
Richmond police and Madison County sheriff's deputies tracked him into a wooded area, but he was last seen entering the area near Brookline subdivision, according to scanner traffic.

Thousands showed up at the state Capitol Tuesday to declare their opposition to abortion and denounce a bill in the Legislature that would require insurers to cover it.
The annual March for Life drew somewhere between 4,000 and 4,500 people to Olympia Tuesday, according to crowd estimates from the State Patrol.
Attendance was about normal compared to past March for Life events, said State Patrol Sgt. Jason Hicks.
Demonstrators at the event gathered on the steps of the Legislative Building and the steps of Temple of Justice, with others spilling onto the Capitol flag circle and other areas of the Capitol.
Many in attendance held signs with messages such as Jesus was a fetus, Women do regret abortion and Abortion kills children.
Noreen McEntee Hobson, president of the March for Life, urged attendees to tell their lawmakers to vote against House Bill 2148, which would require insurers to cover abortion services in plans that also cover maternity care. A mandate is not a choice, McEntee Hobson told the crowd.
Several pro-life lawmakers also spoke at the rally, with many asserting their belief that life begins at conception and that insurance plans shouldnt be required to include abortion coverage.
We have to pay attention to life from the natural beginning to the natural end, said state Rep. Judy Warnick, R-Moses Lake. Only God can make those decisions.
The abortion insurance bill, which stalled last year in the state Senate, was given a hearing in the House Health Care & Wellness Committee on the first day of the 2014 legislative session.
Democratic supporters of the legislation often refer to the measure as the Reproductive Parity Act.
State Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley, said during the March for Life rally that the bill isnt about parity at all.
You know what parity they have? Padden asked. The parity they have is they want to equate life with death.
March for Life organizers schedule the event each year to roughly coincide with the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Courts Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion in the United States. The court issued the landmark decision on Jan. 22, 1973.

By Meghan Barr and Denise Lavoie
The Associated Press
TEANECK, N.J. — Relatives and friends of a young man who fired shots in New Jersey's largest mall, trapping terrified shoppers for hours before killing himself, struggled Tuesday to reconcile those actions with a person they described as pleasant and well-liked.
Investigators don't believe the gunman, identified as 20-year-old Richard Shoop, intended to shoot anyone when he began firing at the ceiling and elsewhere at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, about 15 miles northwest of New York City, shortly before the mall closed Monday night. There were no other injuries.
"We think he went in with the intent that he was not going to come out alive," Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said.
News of Shoop's suicide stunned friends and relatives. As recently as last week, Shoop had spoken about a potential new job and seemed especially happy about it, according to a woman who said she had known him since they were little.
"He told me that he was going to get a new job at this TV place and he was going to make good money," Madison Barbarini said. "He told me that he was doing really well and it seemed like he was really happy. Things just don't add up. Why would he do this? It doesn't make sense."
The friend she knew "honestly would never hurt a fly," Barbarini added.
The suspect's brother, Kevin Shoop, told reporters outside their home on a quiet suburban block in Teaneck that his brother was "a great person" who was liked by friends and family and gave no advance warning about what he intended to do.
"He just sadly decided to make an act of — an act of, I guess, self-indulgence — by taking his own life publicly," Kevin Shoop said. "And it's a tragedy to us all. And we're going to now handle matters and deal with them."
Dod Geges, the owner of a pizzeria in Teaneck where Shoop worked for several years, said Shoop didn't show violent tendencies and "was always sad" when he heard about shootings on TV.
Shoop left an ambiguous note with his family that raised concern, however. Molinelli, the prosecutor, would not call it a suicide note, but he said it did "express that an end is coming. It could have been prison. ... It could have been what he did last night. It gave his family reason to reach out to us."
Gov. Chris Christie called the shooting a wake-up call for lawmakers to focus on mental health issues as part of a comprehensive effort to reduce gun violence.
"Obviously that young man went there to end his own life. We may not be that lucky next time," Christie said. "We need to get to the root causes of what drives a young man like that to drive to Garden State Plaza in that condition."
It is not known whether Shoop had any mental health problems. Authorities said he had a drug problem.
Chaos erupted shortly before the mall's 9:30 p.m. closing time Monday when authorities said a man dressed in black and wearing a motorcycle helmet fired six shots. Molinelli said the gun, which was modified to look like an AK-47 assault rifle, belonged to Richard Shoop's brother, who owned it legally and did not give the shooter permission to take it.

Quote:Thanks Sullij - Yeah, I was kind of paranoid about the camera/filter wheel slipping out of the focuser and hitting the ground, so I put a safety chain on one of the 1/4-20 mounting holes on the camera body and connected it to the carrying handle on the SCT. That's the only place in the optical train that is not a threaded connection. I've never had a problem with it but I didn't want to take chances.I lucked out with the shutter - the solenoid is 24V and holds at 4V so it didn't require any interface circuit. The camera driver circuit can supply enough current to operate it and there is a protection diode across the connector so I only had to hook it up. My big issues, as you may recall from my earlier posts, were mechanical - there were several modifications needed to get the shutter to fit in the flange and operate correctly. But it works well and the software runs it without problems.I hope no one minds me doing this, but I want to caution everyone who might open up the camera to take precautions regarding ESD (electrostatic discharge). The CCD and many of the other components in the camera are very sensitive to static and even though it is summertime and usually humid one should be careful. The CCD is a Class 0 device which means that the damage threshold is <250V, which is not very high and some pins, such as the reset gate, are a lot lower. At least wear a grounded wrist strap, and use a grounded dissipative mat if possible. If you use a soldering iron make sure that the tip is grounded. For the shutter pins I'm sure there isn't a problem, but when working on a device that contains sensitive components it is "best practice" to act as if everything is at the lowest class in the device.Sorry, when working on flight components we are positively religious about ESD mitigation so I felt the need to pontificate... --Keith
Quote:Not certian but I think Kevin is still wresetling with the circuit too.

Hey all and Rob and Xin,
I'm trying to order the pre-order book #2. However I'm almost to check-out and I still haven't figured out how to pay with my tool points. The shopping cart page says I have 40 tool points available. Any pointers on how it works? It's been so long since I used the shopping cart I forgot. What's $10 worth in pool points?

Editor's Note: This story was written by our Ocean City Local Editor and we wanted to share these thoughts with our readers in the greater Point Pleasant Borough-Beach area. Point Pleasant Patch is continuing to reach out to FEMA and other government officials to get more information about how flooded residents should proceed as they wait for FEMA's flood maps to become preliminary for this area, which may be in August or September.

With a flood map still in flux and flood insurance premium increases still not set, property owners may have too little information to make an informed decision on whether to rebuild their homes at a higher elevation, according to state officials and local insurance agents.
Record flooding from Superstorm Sandy on Oct. 29 caused billions of dollars worth of damage to the coastlines of New Jersey and New York, and in the aftermath of the storm, many owners are wondering if they will be required to elevate their homes.
This much is known: Emergency rules adopted by New Jersey on Jan. 24 require new and substantially reconstructed (where the cost of restoration equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred) buildings to be elevated in accordance with a temporary Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) map.
The rest of Ocean City's homeowners face a decision based on:
- Where their property falls on the new map: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released the advisory map last month. It recommends elevations at which a property can survive a 100-year storm with relatively minor damage. It also maps Velocity Zones (V Zones), where properties could sustain damage from storm waves of at least three feet on top of flood waters. Recommended elevations in V Zones are higher.
- Whether their flood-insurance premiums will increase dramatically: Shore property owners rely on the government's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which has been billions of dollars in debt since Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and is subsidized by U.S. taxpayers. Legislation approved last year would eliminate taxpayer subsidies and make the program self-sustaining. That means potentially dramatic premium increases for the riskiest policy holders — owners whose properties fall below the base flood elevation on the new FEMA maps.
- How much it will cost to elevate a home: Estimates have varied wildly in the aftermath of the storm.
The problem for homeowners is that all the factors are still variable.
The "advisory" ABFE maps do not yet take into consideration mitigating factors such as dunes, bulkheads and buildings. Some properties could be moved out of V Zones when new versions of the advisory maps are released in late summer and early fall. Preliminary maps for Atlantic County are due in September and for Cape May County in October. At that point, property owners will have the option to appeal before a final version of the maps is approved.
Flood-insurance premium increases for most property owners have not yet taken effect either. FEMA has warned that the potential increases could be significant as the program moves toward a full actuarial basis, particularly for homes below base flood elevation.
But the only rate increases effective as of January 1, 2013, are for "pre-FIRM" construction (built before Dec. 31, 1974) for nonresident property owners (these increases are 25 percent).
More rate increases won't be effective until Aug. 1, when insurance premiums are likely to go up 25 percent annually for property owners until the flood-insurance program is self-sustaining. Properties far below base flood elevation could pay more than $30,000 annually, while properties that exceed the recommendations could pay less than $3,000.
"People are getting very upset over a lot of possibilities and a lot of unknown," said Michael McMahon of Ocean City's McMahon Agency. "We believe a wait-and-see approach is prudent. Unless you are in the design process of a new home or are required to elevate your home due to substantial damage from Sandy, the ABFE maps have no bearing on you at this time."
McMahon said that if property owners are not forced to elevate because of the 50-percent rule, they could benefit from having more information before making the decision.
Read "FLOOD ELEVATION FAQs: New Jersey's Emergency Flood Elevation Rule" (or click on the attached PDF)
See "Guide to Making the Call on Elevating Your Ocean City Property."
Anybody who holds a mortgage on a home in a flood zone is required to carry flood insurance. Buyers of properties in flood zones likely will have to pay the full actuarial flood-insurance rates and won't enjoy the same stepped 25-percent increases as existing policy holders when the changes become effective in August 2013.
"If your property was not substantially damaged, you do not need to take any action now," the state Department of Environmental Protection writes in a FAQ document (see links above) released this week.
"FEMA anticipates some changes to these maps (the ABFE flood maps) for both elevations and zones," the DEP writes. "The ABFEs currently reflect the most accurate modeling, topographic maps and scientific data available. FEMA plans to release updated flood maps over the next six to seven months, which will further fine-tune coastal flood elevations. The regulatory process to finalize the maps could take up to two years."
"Your rates could increase when FEMA adopts its final flood maps," the DEP writes. "If you do not meet its elevation standards, which are likely to be close to the ABFES, your rates could increase even more significantly."
The FAQ from the DEP also echoes what Gov. Chris Christie has been announcing this week — that the state will work to facilitate grants to help provide additional funding for homeowners to elevate their homes:
"FEMA can provide up to $30,000 to cover the Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) with federal, state and local regulations if you have federal flood insurance. In addition, the Christie Administration intends to provide grants to homeowners with substantially damaged homes to help them offset some of the costs of elevation, mitigation and renovation, and intends to announce in the spring the mechanism for such grants. In order to access any additional funding, FEMA requires property owners reconstruct using the best available data."
The state says that even if homes are substantially damaged (requiring elevation), homeowners can live in the structures for up to four years if they take temporary measures to make homes habitable pending elevation.

In Detail
Over the past few years, the popularity of interactive web maps has exploded. In the past, creating interactive maps was reserved for large companies or experts with lots of money. Today, with the right tools, anyone can easily create a web map with little or even no knowledge of geography, cartography, or programming. OpenLayers 3 is one such free, open source, and powerful tool. Providing a robust library, OpenLayers 3 makes it easy to create modern, fast, and interactive web-mapping applications. OpenLayers 3 Beginner's Guide will help you leverage the OpenLayers 3 library to make dynamic maps for the Web.
"OpenLayers 3 Beginner's Guide" is a practical, hands-on guide that provides you with all the information you need to get started with mapping using the OpenLayers 3 library. With this book, you will be able to make your own map and customize its appearance and behavior. You will also see how to integrate your map in other web pages.
The book starts off by showing you how to create a simple map and introduces you to some basic JavaScript programming concepts and tools. You will also find useful resources to learn more about HTML and CSS. Through the course of the book, we will review each component needed to make a map in OpenLayers 3, and you will end with a full-fledged web map application.
You will learn some context to help you understand the key role of each OpenLayers 3 component in making a map. You will also learn important mapping principles like projections and layers. Maps require sources of data as well. so you will see how to make your own data with files and point some back-end servers for mapping. A key part of this book will also be dedicated to building a mapping application for mobile devices and its specific components.
With the "OpenLayers 3 Beginner's Guide" you will learn how to create your own map applications independently, without being stuck at the first stage of learning. You will acquire the information you need to develop your skills and knowledge of the OpenLayers 3 library.

The goal of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology is to develop students' insight into the nature of society, the diversity of cultures around the world, and the similarities that all peoples and societies share. Course work, independent study, and collaborative research work with faculty all provide a basis for later graduate study, as well as for a wide variety of occupations upon graduation.
Students are encouraged to work with faculty members on ongoing research projects; in some cases, these are paid positions. Recent topics on which students did research work with faculty include gays in the military, the nature of family life in China, the archeology of Labrador, the adaptation of women whose mothers took DES and who thus face a significant risk of cancer, the use of mediation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, an update of the birth control chapter for The New Our Bodies, Ourselves, relationships between domestic servants and their employers in South India, the archeology of state formation in Cameroon, and an investigation of social and health influences on Maine's low infant mortality rate.
Among the topics explored in this department: gender and family, law and justice, health and illness, global political economy, population, construction of racial and ethnic identities, the interrelationship of human societies and the environment, social stratification, memory and identity, social movements, urban sociology, discourses of emotion, New England prehistory, and the relationship between culture and performance.
Courses also focus on specific cultures: Africa and African American cultures, Latin America, Native America, the Arctic, China, and South Asia.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — I agree with the person that says there should be criminal charges against companies producing medicines that are killing people. We are told we can't buy medicines from Canada because they're not guaranteed and proven safe. Neither are our medicines and I've never heard a big uproar about the Canadians getting medicines that are killing them, but I have about ours. Is that a two-way street or something? The government and the Food and Drug Association, shouldn't they be taking better care of our people and not worry if we get medicines from Canada? I'm sure canada is not there to kill people. They're our neighbors and our friends. I'd rather trust them than our government.
In regards to the grandparents taking their grandson to church and seeing the parents out playing football with their kids. I apologize that as a father and my wife as a mother, we work five days a week, nine hours a day to to support our kids. Our kids get out of school at 3:30 p.m. When do you want the kids to play football?
To the person complaining about turning the clocks back. It is daylight savings time. It happens every single year and the entire world does it. Based on your call I'd say they need the schooling so much that standing in the dark is the least of their worries. Also who waits for the school bus, at the stop, an hour before it comes?
The newspapers say Obama is going to meet with members of Congress to talk about the "Fiscal Cliff." Of course, we know that he will have the usual "request," in other words, "his way or the highway." He wont give in, but he expects Congress to back down, but he'll accuse them of wanting it to be "their way or the highway"! Strange, isn't it? Not really, not coming from Obama, anyways. Whadda ya think?

Rain has finally begun to subside across areas ravaged by historic floods in Colorado. Some communities and residents remain cut off though with limited supplies due to washed out roads.
Colorado remains under the spell of water. Steady rains Sunday hampered evacuation and rescue efforts and brought renewed warnings to a flood weary Front Range.
Anticipating hundreds, volunteers milled about at an evacuation center set up at Timberline Church in Fort Collins Sunday morning. With heavy rains grounding helicopters in Larimer County, few flood victims were able to make their way to the shelter.
Originally published on Sun September 15, 2013 11:51 am
The floods that have repeatedly inundated large parts of central and northeastern Colorado since Wednesday likely killed more than the four people who have been confirmed dead, officials say. The search for victims has taken second priority to rescue and relief operations, as agencies rush to help people who remain at risk. President Obama has declared a major disaster in the area.
As flooding moves east across Colorado and rains are once again in the forecast, the recovery efforts continue.

With local school names like General John Stricker Middle School and Battle Monument School, it made perfect sense to celebrate Defenders Day and the 198th anniversary of the successful defense of Fort McHenry at Charlesmont Elementary School.
The poignant flag-raising ceremony held on the school's lawn Friday morning was followed by a demonstration of the newly-launched War of 1812 virtual education resource center, warof1812.thinkport.org.
Fifth-grade students, in creating a timeline of the Battle of North Point, were among the first students in Maryland to take advantage of the resource offered by Maryland Public Television.
A Star-Spangled Banner Day
Under a bright blue sky, National Park Service representatives from Fort McHenry, elected leaders, school guests and Charlesmont third-, fourth- and fifth-graders participated in a flag-raising ceremony that included a short but enthusiastic lesson on the Battle of North Point.
Fort McHenry's Ranger Vince Vaise, well-known in the area for his enthusiastic approach to historical interpretation, told the students about a bit of the history in their back yards.
He led the students in several cheers of "huzzah" as he talked about the defense of the North Point peninsula, which slowed down the British troops and bought a little bit of time for the defense of Baltimore.
A case of nerves saw Boy Scouts start to raise the American flag upside-down, but they quickly saw their error and fixed it.
A nearby teacher consoled the scouts and told them it was not uncommon for nerves to cause such a mistake. It isn't often that the students raise their flag in front of a United States senator, a state delegate and the head of Maryland Public Television, among other guests — let alone half of their school peers.
Star-Spangled Learning
After the flag ceremony, fifth-graders filed in to the school's computer lab where they gave a demonstration of an online lesson on the Battle of North Point.
Having already completed a timeline of the War of 1812 on previous days, the students were challenged to create a similar synopsis of the Battle of North Point.
Using a smart board that projected the lesson so all could see it, students went to the board to show their prowess on the technology and to work through the lesson.
The online War of 1812 site is available via Thinkport.org, a partnership between Maryland Public Television and the Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education that receives funding from the U.S. Department of education.
"Thinkport is an exciting project because it demonstrates how students will learn in the future using interactive techniques that will help the understand and experience what the War of 1812 was really like and why it was so important to our nation," U.S. Senator Ben Cardin said in a statement. "This new learning tool is funded by the Department of Education as a way to help history come alive for our students."
At the flag ceremony, Cardin told students that the Thinkport lessons are designed to teach the students in a manner to which they can relate, using technology that is second nature to them.
Education and MPT officials hope the War of 1812 lessons will be used by students, teachers and parents across the country and the globe as the bicentennial celebration of the War of 1812 plays out through 2015.
At Charlesmont, the lessons were received with enthusiasm and excitement.
Students are excited about history because the lessons are "interactive and fun,"Charlesmont teacher Kelly Martin said in a statement.
"Everything I need to teach is right here in one place, including primary resource documents like letters or journals from the war."

The Deer Park Stags, who got a major decision from Aaron Klauder and a pin from Jake Konzal, held off the Orting Cardinals 44-35 in Friday's battle of state wrestling champions.
The Stags, the five-time Class 2A champs, took a 28-23 Billy Marshall defeated Andrew Melot in the 285-pound match. Deer Park got some breathing room after Tysen Jorgensen received a forfeit in the 106-pound match.
Orting, the four-time Class 1A champs, narrowed the lead to 34-29 in the 113-pound bout after defending state champ Fred Green only needed a minute to pin KC Ayers.
The Deer Park wrestling team opens its season this week with a match-up of a pair of 2012 state team champions.
The Stags, the five-time defending Class 2A champs, will entertain Orting on 6 p.m. on Friday.
The Cardinals, who have moved up to the Class 2A ranks this season, are four-time defending Class 1A champs. Last year's team featured (all returning) Fred Green, the 106-pound champion, Austin Dodson, the runner-up at 113 pounds, and Beau Gore, the runner-up at 145 pounds.
In addition to its state title run, Orting finished second the three previous seasons.
The Deer Park Stags could not run and eventually could not hide from the East Valley Knights in Thursday's Great Northern League regular season finale for both teams.
The Stags, who only had one run over more than 9 yards in the game (a 35-yard run by Dalton Hanson in the fourth quarter), could not catch the Knights 35-24.
The loss eliminated the Stags (3-3 in the GNL, 6-4 overall)) from state playoff consideration. East Valley (4-2, 7-3) was eliminated later in the evening after Colville upset league-leading Pullman.
In a match with deep playoff implications, the Clarkston volleyball team defeated Deer Park 5-19, 22-25, 19-25, 25-9, 15-8 on Thursday.
The win improved the Lady Bantams' Great Northern League record to 2-8 while the Lady Stags fell to 1-8.
Clarkston grabbed a quick lead in the first game. A Sierra English kill trimmed the Lady Bantam lead to 9-7. A pair of Jemma Lakewolf kills kept Deer Park close only to have Clarkston close out the game with late kills by Tori Zeimantz and Adriana Arnone.
The Freeman Scotties, staking claim as the top volleyball team in the Northeast A League, took care of the Riverside Lady Rams 25-10, 25-20, 25-18 on Thursday.
The Scotties, behind three kills from Kaela Straw, opened up a 10-1 lead in the first game.
Riverside (5-4 in NE-A play) made a brief run with three straight points behind the serving of Courtney Davis. Freeman, (7-1) however, responded with six straight points to stretch the Scottie lead to 16-5.
Two aces by Straw gave the Scotties a 20-7 lead and were never threatened the rest of the game.
The Deer Park boys cross country team lived up to its No. 3 ranking in the state's Class 2A ranks with a overwhelming 15-50 win over Clarkston on Wednesday in the Stags' lone home meet this season.
Nolan Woodward led the charge over the 3-mile course with a 17-minute, 7-second performance, good enough to lead the field. Teammate Kody Turner finished second (17:16), followed over the finish line by fellow Stags Sam Davis (17:38), Brady Bollum (17:42) and Coltan Boswell 17:45).
The Riverside Rams kept things in balance, especially in the first half, in their home opener on Friday.
The Rams ran the ball 14 times in the first quarter and the same number in the second quarter as they built a 22-6 halftime lead over the Kettle Falls Bulldogs. Riverside stayed with the ground-oriented attack in the second half to cement a 29-6 win in the Northeast A League opener for both schools.
"It's nice to get a league win under your belt, that's for sure," Griggs said.
With the high school football season arriving this weekend (Deer Park is at Chewelah and Riverside travels to Timberlake, both at 7 p.m. on Friday) there are eight rules for high school football players this fall.
The rules, adopted by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), includes requiring a player to sit out one play if their helmet comes off while the ball is live.
In cases where the helmet comes completely off without it being directly attributable to a foul by the opponent, the player will have to leave the game for at least one down.
Zac Farnam, who has given a decade of his football life to the Deer Park program as a player and later as an assistant coach, is heading north this season.
Farnam has taken over the duties of the head football coach at Newport High School.
A Spokane native, Farnam came to Deer Park as a fifth grader and became acquainted with football as a middle schooler. A 2002 DPHS grad, he played quarterback, running back, wide receiver and cornerback under head coach Doug McGill. Farnam was part of the 2000 Great Northern League football championship team.
The first steps in the new look Riverside football program were taken this summer.
New football coach Tom Griggs held a pair of camps in June to allow players to get a chance to become somewhat familiar with the program.
Griggs, who came to Riverside after a one-year stint as head coach at Rochester (Wash.) High School, held a mini-camp at the end of the school year. A more intense one-week camp was held last week.

The power, intensity and drama of desert ultramarathon racing is impressively conveyed in Jennifer Steinman's documentary. Somehow keeping pace with the rare breed of athletes willing to tackle the 4 Deserts race series—which encompasses the Atacama, the Gobi, the Sahara and the Antarctic—the film is a compelling look at what motivates these extraordinary competitors to brave four grueling 250km treks across such inhospitable—but wholly cinematic—landscapes.
Steinman illustrates the distinct perils presented by each of these deserts—they represent the driest, windiest, hottest and coldest places on Earth—and examines the disparate motivations that guide these non-professional athletes. While one competitor is honouring the memory of his late wife, another is celebrating surviving a recent health scare. Thanks to the intimate bond that's created with the intrepid racers, we watch with bated breath as they push themselves to—and frequently beyond—their breaking points.
"Their battles—against the terrain as well as their own bodies and self-confidence—is at the heart of the film, all played out against a stunning series of backdrops…"—Mark Adams, Screen

Barack Obama Celebrates Bill of Rights Day With Support for Indefinite Detention Bill
Happy Bill of Rights Day! I don't know about you, but the White House celebrated in glorious, hypocritical style by issuing a proclamation exalting the "fundamental liberties [that] have shaped our national character and stirred the souls of all who dream of a freer, more just world," right after reversing its position on the National Defense Authorization Act…
Barack Obama has abandoned a commitment to veto a new security law that allows the military to indefinitely detain without trial American terrorism suspects arrested on US soil who could then be shipped to Guantanamo Bay.
Human rights groups accused the president of deserting his principles and disregarding the long-established principle that the military is not used in domestic policing. The legislation has also been strongly criticised by libertarians on the right angered at the stripping of individual rights for the duration of "a war that appears to have no end".
The law, contained in the defence authorisation bill that funds the US military, effectively extends the battlefield in the "war on terror" to the US and applies the established principle that combatants in any war are subject to military detention.
The Obama administration does have a checkered record on civil liberties, but it's important to acknowledge the progress that has been made. For example, when you hear that knock on your door in the middle of the night, it's quite possible that an openly-serving gay soldier will be the one to drape a black hood over your head (kinky!) and haul your terror suspect ass to Guantanamo.
Secondly, while the Bush administration just assumed that the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force empowered them to imprison people without charges, the Obama administration will have these provisions formally codified. Rule of law, baby!
Finally, it's probably only a matter of time before SOPA, PROTECT IP and various other "Internet kill switch" bills shut down whole swathes of the Web where whiny civil libertarians talk about these issues, and then we'll finally be spared the embarrassing knowledge of just how far we done fell.

GMC Acadia Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Carbon Black, Sunroof, and Trailering package are only upcharges. All else is standard SLT-1 equipment
Dealership in Akron, Ohio is offering/telling me this for a purchase price:
Offered Price - $41,363
Doc Fees - $250
Total Selling Price - $41,613
.065 Sales Tax - $2,704.85
Less Rebate ($2,000)
Out the door price - $42,351.35
Edmonds Dealer Invoice shows $40,722. If that is correct (which they tell me is not) , they are starting at $41,363 so I'm starting at $641.00 over invoice.
Your feedback is much appreciated! Great site.
Just bought a 2010 Acadia SLT-1 Red Jewel MSRP $39755 (no additional options). Selling price $37199 (or $35199 with rebate) and we chose the 0% financing. You should (at least) be able to get the vehicle down to invoice price (before TT&L) with little effort and then either apply the rebate or the financing. I worked with the internet salesperson via email.
sonnylax Posts: 1Trying to get a rock bottom price on loaded Acadia SLT-2....
1. Question regarding GMC rebates - Do they apply the various GMC rebates BEFORE or AFTER the tax, tag, license is added? (Makes a pretty big difference when considering a car that is going to cost more then 40 grand.)
2. Question regarding GM Card Rebates - I've got a additional 1800.00 in GM Card rewards to apply to this new purchase. Is this applied BEFORE or AFTER sales tax is calculated.
Seems like both the GMC rebates and the GM Card Rewards would reduce the final price of the car before Tax, Tag, License.

baseballmom97 Posts: 100I'm currently getting ready to negotiate on a 2010 SLT-1 Acadia.
Would it be totally unreasonable to offer $150 over invoice? How much over invoice are most people getting these for right now?
I understand there is another $2000 cash incentive off of the negotiated price as well. Any quick advice would be most appreciated...my '08 Acadia was totaled last week and I need to make a quick deal without the normal amount of time I spend researching cars!
buddy0329 Posts: 1When does GM usually post these figures for the new model year? RIght now they only have the Buick #'s in there for 2011.
How good is the supplier pricing? We'll be going to take a look at the Acadia's over the weekend and I'm trying to determine if the special pricing is at or above invoice.
Before accounting for rebates how much +/- are these Acadia's going for between 2010 and 2011's?

According to MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger reports that the Twins have signed catcher Jeff Clement, a former Baseball America's Top 50 prospect, to a minor league deal. Clement, 28, never gained any traction at the major league level with Seattle and was later traded to Pittsburgh in 2009 for Ian Snell and Jack Wilson.
In the International League last year, Clement hit 16 home runs and 35 doubles (second most in the league) but like a true swing big, miss big type of hitter, he also struck out in 101 at-bats (22% of plate appearances).
Clement was a Twins former 12th round draft pick in 2002 out of his Marshalltown, Iowa high school but chose to attend USC instead.

Lindy USB 3.0 Drives and Docking Station for Linux
USB 3.0 promises up to 5 Gbit data transfers. Manufacturer Lindy now brings two SATA hard drive enclosures and a hard drive docking/cloning station with USB 3.0 to the marketplace.
The new Lindy hard drive enclosures are for 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives, respectively. The 3.5" drive enclosure is in brushed aluminum. The hard disks are accessible by opening the aperture; tools are not necessary, according to the manufacturer.
The docking and cloning station accommodates both disk sizes. Lindy describes it as hotplug capable. The devices differ in their power supplies. The docking station and the 3.5" enclosure have an AC adapter, while the 2.5" is powered over the USB 3.0 cable. Users without a USB 3.0 interface will need the additional AC adapter to power the unit; an adapter port is already provided. All three devices are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
The 3.5" SATA enclosure costs $125, the 2.5" enclosure costs $105 and the docking station costs $89. Lindy promises a driverless installation under Linux as of 2.6.31 and Windows (XP/Vista/7). The devices should be available immediately.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The Wisconsin-Green Bay women's basketball team only owned the nation's longest winning streak for a day.
Now the streak is gone and so are the hopes of the Phoenix to advance in the NCAA tournament.
Green Bay took over as having the longest streak, at 26 straight, when Middle Tennessee lost to Marist Monday.
Then last night, freshman Tina Charles scored 22 points to lead Connecticut to a 94-70 win over the Phoenix in the Fresno Regional of the NCAA tournament.
The Huskies used a 14-2 run to erase a 46-42 second-half deficit and pulled away from there.
Natalie Berglin led Green Bay with 28 points, hitting six 3-pointers.
Green Bay ended the season with a record of 29-and-4.

For The Daily Item
MOUNT CARMEL — Dominic Farronato's future may be at quarterback for Mount Carmel, however, on Friday night the sophomore standout displayed his prowess on defense with a pair of interceptions that helped the Red Tornadoes hold off stubborn Selinsgrove, 24-19, at the Silver Bowl.
The Red Tornadoes were holding onto a 6-0 lead with the Seals driving when the sophomore defensive back stepped in front of an Isaiah Rapp pass on the 10-yard line and followed a bevy of blockers down the left sideline for a 90-yard touchdown that injected the Mount Carmel Area sideline with a much-needed jolt of momentum.
"Dominic studies film all week long and he was waiting for that particular pass play and was right there in position to pick it off," Red Tornadoes' coach Carmen DeFrancesco said. "Our defense was solid all night long and made the big plays when we needed them but give credit to Selinsgrove because they kept battling back."
Treyvon White set up the first Red Tornadoes' score when he intercepted a tipped pass that gave the ball to MC on its own 24. On the first play from scrimmage, he then took a screen pass 21 yards to the 45 and two plays later Kyle Karycki ran for 17. Another screen two plays later was caught by Blake Panko for a 29-yard pickup to the 1 where, on the next play, Zack Wasilewski bulled his way into the end zone for a 6-0 lead.
Farronato's interception return put the Red Tornadoes on top 12-0 and Karycki helped increase the advantage to 18-0 on a 45-yard touchdown romp with 10 minutes left in the half.
The Seals finally got their offense untracked and used a 12-play, 69-yard drive to get on the scoreboard when Curtis Banasiak caught an 18-yard TD strike from Isaiah Rapp on fourth down to trim the Selinsgrove deficit to 18-6.
Neither team could manage to score in the third quarter but the fourth period saw the two squads combine for 19 points. The Red Tornadoes needed every bit of its vaunted defense to keep the Seals from taking the lead while the offensive line provided enough openings to keep drives alive and allow the home team to hold on for the win. But it wasn't easy.
Joe Dormer, who provided the heroics in the thrilling win over North Schuylkill last week, gave the Red Tornadoes what looked like a comfortable 24-6 lead with an eight-yard TD catch with 8:09 left.
Selinsgrove started its comeback with a great tipped pass catch by Dylan Beaver, who kept his concentration on a pass tipped in his direction, and took the ball 70 yards to pull the Seals to within 24-12.
The Seals then executed a perfect on-sides kick and with Rapp connecting with Ben Kahn four times for 37 yards the Red Tornadoes suddenly had Selinsgrove on its three where Conner Liesenfeld went over for the score to cut the deficit to 24-19.
However, playoff-driven Mount Carmel got great offensive line play down the stretch and was able to run out the clock and collect the win.
"We spread the field more in the second half and threw the ball," Seals coach David Hess said. "The onside kick was a big emotional lift but we hurt ourselves with too many mistakes and against a team like Mount Carmel you can't let that happen."
