'Star Wars Uncut' online & excellent
Modern fan films are special children of the Internet, powered by thousands of people creatively collaborating and sharing because of their love of a special subject. Like "Star Wars."
And the recently released "Star Wars: Uncut" project, which is the fruit of more than two years worth of work, is available for your viewing pleasure.
"Star Wars: Uncut" is crowd-sourced fan film transforming "Star Wars: A New Hope." By splicing together selected 15-second clips filmed by fans worldwide, the Uncut organizers have created something wildly unique yet familiar at the same time. The feature-length film, available on YouTube, runs more than two hours long and includes scenes crafted from techniques including stop-motion animation with action figures, computer-generated images and costumed live-action antics.
"Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted," the Uncut staff writes in its YouTube post. "Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable."
The producers note that although their effort has been featured in documentaries and conferences for years, the feature release last week is the culmination of all that effort. And they suggest over their Twitter feed that viewers watch "Uncut" and the original "A New Hope" side by side for maximum nostalgia.
"Star Wars: Uncut" is below.

The Independent
Pam Johnson is thankful that she can enjoy another Thanksgiving meal with her family, even if it's in a rehabilitation center.
She's also thankful for friends, and prayers from those friends.
And another day of life.
Johnson, a 56-year-old Ashland businesswoman, had her life turned inside-out on Nov. 3 when she was involved in a horrific automobile accident on Ohio 73 that took the life of an Ohio man who was the passenger in the other vehicle.
Michael Newman, the driver of the other car, drove left of center and struck Johnson's vehicle head on. Her car and the box trailer she was towing went off the right side of the roadway and struck a ditch. Newman's brother, Casey Newman was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene.
Michael Newman was tested at the scene and alcohol is suspected as a factor in the accident, according to the police report.
Johnson's injuries miraculously were confined to her right ankle but the command fracture has her in rehabilitation at Kingsbrook Life Center. Her foot is scarred with several huge pins coming out of it.
For a woman always on the go, Johnson's life has come to a sudden and shocking stop. This was her busy season, when her store — Pam's Primitives in the Ashland Town Center mall — was going to be its busiest. This was supposed to be the best time of the year — "The time of the year you wait on," she said — but in a split second it became the most frustrating and painful time of the year for her.
"I saw him swerve and he came back over (the center line)," she said. "It was so instantaneous and in slow-motion. I felt like I was in a Dodge-em car. The airbags went off and I asked God to forgive me of my sins. I thought this was it."
She never lost consciousness but when she reached down on the floor for her cellphone, she felt a biting pain in her ankle that was nearly unbearable. A second later she was holding her dangling ankle in her hand.
A man who was two cars back of her on the highway had already called police and emergency responders. He had called police seconds earlier to report the driver who was swerving that eventually caused the accident that resulted in the death of his brother, who was thrown from the car.
The man came up to Johnson's vehicle, patted her on the arm and talked to her in a calming tone until emergency responders arrived.
"I never did find out who he was," she said. "I want to because I want to thank him. That man came to my comfort. He was like an angel."
The man, according to the police accident report, is Roy Glenn of Lucasville, Ohio.
Johnson said her chest was hurting at first but it was probably because of the airbag's impact. Then she told the man, "My ankle is killing me!" That's when she reached down and felt the jagged edge of a bone that was jutting out.
"I'm usually weak around that kind of thing," she said.
When the emergency responders arrived, they found that an artery had also been severed and she was losing blood. She even heard them mention partial amputation. "I thought 'I can't lose my leg.'''
Pam had called her husband, Dave, and mother, Mary Potter. They quickly made their way to the accident scene.
"It made Dave cry and you know what a tough guy he is," Pam said of when her husband saw her ankle for the first time.
Pam Johnson was driving a 2011 Ford Expedition and the other driver was in a 2007 Kia Spectra. Her big vehicle probably saved her from further injuries, she said.
"I would not be sitting here. I'm good everywhere else," she said. "I was heavily bruised but that's already better."
When her mother received the news, she said fear went through her. "I'd lost my son nine months ago (to a heart attack) and it was such a devastating, heartbreaking thing. I didn't think I could go through it again. I think, through that, God prepared me for this. It's so scary to think of how close we came to losing her."
Mary Potter has been doing a lot of running for her daughter, who is confined to bed or a wheelchair for the time being.
Pam was rushed to Southern Ohio Medical Center and then transported by ground to Cabell Huntington Hospital where they operated on her ankle. "I went straight into surgery," she said. "I said 'Please don't cut my foot off. Give me a chance.' When I got out of surgery and woke up, the first thing I said was 'Do I have my foot?'''
The answer was in the affirmative although the future of the foot may depend on how the healing and rehabilitation goes, she said. Johnson understands it's going to be a long journey to recovery.
"I asked the doctor to write me a prescription for a new house," she said. "We have a split foyer. It's going to be a long road."
While she was in SOMC in the trauma center, Pam was a little woozy. They had to tear off her UK national championship shirt. "I said 'Are you cutting my UK shirt?' They said 'Yes, but don't worry you can buy another one.'''
Spoken like a true UK fan.
Pam Johnson has always been a sports fan. Her boys, Matt and Chris, were star athletes for the Ashland Tomcats. Both of them played basketball and Matt also played football not only for the Tomcats but also Centre College. Dave and Pam didn't tell their sons until the day after the accident because it was so late.
"We didn't want them driving all night," she said.
But Matt and Chris became her biggest cheerleaders when Pam stood up on her left foot after the accident.
"That was last Saturday, both boys were up there," she said. "They were cheering me on. I've always been so proud of them and cheered for them when they played. When I looked over and saw them cheering for me, it made me feel so good. They'll never know how good."
Pam Johnson, a Sunday School teacher in the ladies class at Westwood Christian Church, doesn't rule out divine intervention for her safety. And she doesn't rule out the prayers of God's people for her rapid recovery, which is going "better than expected."
"I can feel it (the prayers)," she said. "People tell me I'm on the prayer list of so many different churches. I know God saved me. He saved me once (spiritually) and he saved me again (physically) that night."
Johnson said the care she has received at SOMC, Cabell Huntington and Kingsbrook makes her realize how lucky she is to live in an area that has outstanding medical facilities. She takes nothing for granted anymore — not friends, not her job, not family, not church, not where she lives, not anything. Each day is a gift that she plans to savor. Co-workers, business associates and those caring friends have showered her with attention, flowers and prayers. It's been overwhelming at times, she said.
"I'm so thankful to be alive and that I wasn't hurt any worse," she said. "I'm thankful for doctors, friends and family. It makes you realize what's really important. I know it wasn't my fault but I feel so bad that someone was killed (in the accident). I never wanted to be involved in something like that."
What's important today is sitting down with her family at Kingsbrook for Thanksgiving dinner – catered by Bob Evans. They will give thanks that they are all together. This busy time of year has become one of true thanksgiving for the Johnsons.
Heavenly baked ham never tasted so good.

Fairmont Senior High School's lacrosse standout Maddie Craig had a Saturday to remember when the Polar Bears thumped Trinity East, 18-9.
In the game, Craig wove her way through the opposing team's defense and tallied a total of four goals.
Because of her play, it opened up more goals for her teammates, which in return, led to the huge victory.
For her efforts, Craig is the latest Times West Virginian Multi-Media Good Sports Player of the Week.
The 2-2 Polar Bears will be back in action at home against Buckhannon-Upshur on Wednesday.

Tuesday night area voters will have a chance to learn more about local political candidates in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Canton.
The Candidates Night at Canton High School will feature both the 17th state House and 8th state Senate district candidates.
The 8th District Senate seat is currently held by Canton Republican Kevin Witkos. Canton Democrat Dan Seger is challenging.
Tim LeGeyt of Canton, also a Republican, is the 17th District representative. Democrat David Peña of Avon is challenging for the seat.
Such nights really give voters a chance to hear the candidates answer questions about issues and go well beyond what's said in political advertisements or messages, said Gina Magennis, co-president of the league.
"It's really important to bring these forums to the public," Magennis said.
For the event, audience members will have the chance to submit proposed questions on index cards. Questions should not be personal about a candidate but rather one each can answer, Magennis said. Three league members, a Democrat, Republican and Independent, will decide which questions to present. There may not be time to ask them all, Magennis said.
Meg Gaines, a league member from Simsbury, will moderate the event.
The event will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16 at Canton High School, 76 Simonds Ave., Canton.
Those wishing to submit questions may want to arrive a little early to keep the event on schedule. Magennis said the league does plan to end on time so people can get home to watch the presidential debate.
For those unable to attend, the event will be recorded and broadcast on Nutmeg TV (Comcast Channel 5) at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 and Oct. 30.
The Canton league currently has 44 members. Men and women from the Farmington Valley and of all political persuasions are welcome to join. Find out more at http://canton.lwvconnecticut.org/index.html

NCEAS Project 3242
Synthesizing the new vegetation ecology
- David W. Roberts
|Further Information
|Sabbatical Fellow
|1st August 2000—31st July 2001
|Participant List
Vegetation ecology is a science of breadth and significance in both pure and applied aspects. Vegetation is the dominant component of terrestrial ecosystems across the globe, and vegetation ecology provides the theoretical, conceptual, and analytical basis for understanding the composition, structure, and diversity of this vegetation. The most recent synthesis of the field is now a quarter century old, and a large number of significant advances have been made in fields that underlie vegetation ecology, as well as in vegetation ecology itself. I propose to achieve a new synthesis of vegetation ecology by developing a comprehensive theory of vegetation in space and time, emphasizing the operational aspects of analytical and predictive models for both space and time. This synthesis will integrate work in population biology, physiological ecology, dynamical systems theory, modern statistical analysis, and simulation modeling.

Assault Suspect 'Kisses & Tells'
One Cranston man apparently doesn't adhere to the "don't kiss and tell" mantra when he literally tried to kiss an officer. According to reports, the 50-year-old man assaulted his pregnant girlfriend. When police arrived, he told them his name was Eshu and, according to one officer, "began talking about things that didn't make sense." After he allegedly admitted to hitting the woman, officers brought him to the police station, where he refused to get out of the car and instead began blowing kisses at officers. As police attempted to fingerprint the man, he grabbed one officer's face and tried to kiss him, saying that he needed to "cleanse" the officers.
Karma or Coincidence?
Earlier this year, a Narragansett man stumbled upon an iPhone while out for a walk and turned it into the police department. The following day the man, Douglas McLaughlin, was elected to the Narragansett Town Council.
You Wouldn't Like Him When He's Angry
No one likes to be made fun of – especially one 21-year-old from Middletown who was arrested this week. According to the man, he went to his ex-girlfriend's house to retrieve some of his belongings and was greeted by her new boyfriend. According to reports, the man "lost control" after the new boyfriend started making fun of him, so he allegedly punched him in the face, threw a chair at him and destroyed a Verizon electrical box. According to the ex-girlfriend, it wasn't the first time he had "lost control." Two weeks prior, he allegedly choked his ex-girlfriend, though he reportedly told officers that he did not choke her as hard as he could have.
"I'm Going to Find You and Crush You!"
One Newport man was more than displeased with a customer who refused to pay him. According to reports, the customer told police that the Newport man was supposed to do work on his boat but didn't complete it, thus he did not pay him in full – causing the other man to allegedly send him a few harassing messages and calls. And by few, we mean more than 100 … in less than three days, according to reports. A good portion of those messages came after police warned him to stop contacting the man, to which he replied he would continue to contact the man and didn't care if he'd be arrested. In one message, the man said, "I'm going to find you and crush you! It may be a day, week or year!"

It is known by a lot of names, among them smack, horse, brown sugar, dope, H, junk, skag and skunk.
Its most common name, though, is heroin. By any name, it is an insidious, addictive, deadly drug.
We mention it as we recognize the superlative police work involved with the arrests during the past three months of six New York City and Otsego County residents alleged to be major traffickers of this terrible poison.
The arrests culminated a two-year effort dubbed "Operation Dial Tone" by the Otsego County Sheriff's Office, the Albany office of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Oneonta Police Department and county District Attorney John Muehl.
On Dec. 7, sheriff's deputies Keith Sheldon and Michael Stalter stopped a car for an equipment violation and asked the driver and two other occupants if they had visited New York City lately. They said no, but Sheldon noticed New York City parking tickets on the dashboard, and Stalter saw a syringe in the inside door handle.
Sheldon's K-9 dog "zeroed in" on a gaming console and baseball cap in the back seat. A search of the car assisted by DEA agents and Oneonta police officers discovered 209 heroin packets, valued at $8,180, in the console and a small amount of crack cocaine in the cap.
Daniel P. Parrotte, 24, of Mount Upton, Eric Doherty, 22, of Unadilla, and Azar K. Hughes, 24, of Oneonta were arrested for third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and fourth-degree conspiracy, both felonies, along with other charges.
Three other substantial heroin arrests followed, including that in February of Anays Garcia, 25, the girlfriend of major drug trafficker Jose "Flip" Rodriguez, who is serving a 40-year sentence at the Downstate Correctional Facility in Fishkill.
Garcia was arrested when she visited Rodriguez, and she faces charges connected with directing the heroin trafficking operation from New York City to Otsego County. She could spend the next 54 years in prison if convicted.

Check out Dave Robinson's front page story today about the broken promises made by the area's industrial development agencies.
The report the story is based on doesn't look too kindly on any of the suburban IDAs, but especially not Amherst.
Erie County's largest town gave out the largest amount of tax breaks over a five-year span (nearly $700,000) but came through on just 11 percent of the jobs the projects promised to create.
The various projects that received taxpayer subsidies were supposed to create 155 jobs; they created 17.

The Lone Star Rodeo is back, and city leaders are hoping the event is a cash cow!
That's because roping in cash is important to everyone who counts on police and fire services in the city of Logan.
The rodeo means fun, but it's not all about horsing around. What's at stake for the city of Logan is a black and white issue. More people in the stands means more protection for the cowboys and cowgirls in the city of Logan.
The city's police and fire department are taking the bull by the horns when it comes to fundraising. The goal is ten thousand for each department.
The fire department wants to buy a thermal imaging camera. Cameras like the one used in St. Albans cost around $30,000 dollars. The cameras help to find people in a burning home.
The police department wants to spend its share on cruiser computers.
More safety for everyone, means an entire community pitching in.
It's an appreciation that goes both ways.

Scheuring Speed Sports Signs Multi-Year Agreement With BRP/Ski-Doo Racing
Aurora, MN - Scheuring Speed Sports recently announced a multi-year racing partnership with BRP/Ski-Doo Racing.
The partnership will feature four of the most dominating racers aboard the company's race-specific 2011 Ski-Doo MXZx 600RS snowmobiles. Drivers Robbie Malinoski and Andrew Johnstad return as Scheuring's Pro racers. In the Semi-Pro ranks, Scheuring will have two top caliber drivers to be announced soon.
"This partnership allows BRP to put some of the strongest drivers of the race circuit on the most advanced engineered Ski-Doo race sleds to date," Ski-Doo Race Manager Jeff Goodwin said.
In addition to the Amsoil Championship Snocross Series, Scheuring's team will compete in the 2011 Winter X Games in Aspen, CO, the Amsoil Eagle River Snowmobile Derby, USCC cross country races and other selected events throughout North America.

"We fully support all manufacturers' involvement in snocross racing and appreciate the opportunity to further strengthen our partnership with a great company like Ski Doo."

The Conservative Conversion Machine
by Chris Bowers, Fri Mar 25, 2005 at 07:47:56 AM EST
Next, the child will likely attend public school, an institution conservatives have sought to control by taking over local school boards in order to introduce creationist textbooks, establish abstinence-only sex education and excise any lesson plans tolerant of homosexuality. And while activists seek to influence local curricula, right-wing think tanks advocate fully dismantling public education through vouchers and other ruses.
If our hypothetical student goes to college she will finally, for the first time, come face to face with a progressive worldview. Higher education stands as the only institution in American life today with a significant progressive presence. In classes, in clubs and in dorms, students are exposed to progressives and their views. Not surprisingly, Kerry won college-educated women by nine points, and all voters with post-graduate degrees by 11 points. And while he lost college-educated men, the trend lines are promising. He managed to do four points better than Gore.
Since college enrollment continues to climb, and the economy increasingly puts a premium on post-graduate degrees, this bodes well for Democrats. Conservatives realize this #### in their armor, which explains why their attacks on higher education are so ardent.(...)
Let's say, though, that our hypothetical youngster doesn't go to college, and instead enters the workforce. If her job is unionized, she will immediately be exposed to progressive ideas about fairness and workplace democracy, but the odds are overwhelmingly against her holding a union job. Over the last 30 years, unionization has fallen from more than 35 percent to less than 12 percent of the workforce due to, among other things, a sustained attack by Republicans on the right to organize. From the instant the National Labor Relations Act passed in 1935, the business class has recognized that unions are the most direct means by which working-class voters are brought into the left. Being in a union has an even more dramatic effect on voting behavior than college. Kerry won two-thirds of union members, and among working-class white voters, a group Kerry lost by 24 points, he won a majority of those in a union.And these are only some examples. Toss in the Right Wing Noise Machine and the extensive evangelicizing of conservative churches, and it all adds up to a conservative movement heavily bent on reaching new converts, and a liberal movement that is comparatively ineffective at doing the same.
This situation is untenable for progressives, liberals and Democrats. I have repeatedly argued that our only way out of our current electoral problems, long-term, is for the number of self-identifying liberals to close the gap on the number of self-identifying progressives. Clearly, this is never going to happen if conservative mechanisms for persuasion and conversion remain so much more powerful and prevalent in almost all areas of everyday life: in the media, at your job, in your place of worship, even in school. No one solution, such as increasing union density, developing a Left Wing Noise Machine or organizing the religious left will be enough. Unless we counter and surpass the Conservative Conversion Machine on all fronts, we are pretty much doomed. Grow liberalism, or we will remain in the minority for two generations.

BATON ROUGE -Louisiana's flu activity has spiked in recent weeks and continues to be widespread. According to the state's most recent influenza surveillance data, flu symptoms accounted for more than 20 percent of the state's doctor visits last week, up from 12 percent the previous week. The state's seasonal flu activity is most prevalent in North and Central Louisiana and in the Baton Rouge Metropolitan area. Click here to view the 2011 influenza surveillance reports.
Because of the increases, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals is strongly encouraging all residents who haven't already done so to protect themselves and their families by getting a seasonal flu vaccination. Each year, the flu kills more than 36,000 Americans.
"It's not too late to vaccinate," said Dr. Frank Welch, director of the state's immunization program. "The flu shot only takes a few days to be effective, and people are usually protected completely within 7-to-10 days of getting the flu vaccine. Vaccines are the best preventive measure we have to help fight the spread of this illness, and we encourage everyone to get their seasonal flu shot to help protect not only themselves, but their families and friends as well."
This year, the CDC recommends everyone older than 6 months get the flu vaccine. This year's flu vaccine will protect against both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 virus. Medical studies show getting the flu vaccine has proven to be very safe and effective in preventing people from catching the flu.
While everyone should get a flu vaccine, vaccination is especially critical for certain groups of people who are at a higher risk of developing flu-related complications. Those groups include:
"Vaccination is also important for health care workers, and other people who live with or care for high-risk individuals to keep from spreading flu to people who may be especially susceptible to the virus' effects. This includes anyone who works with babies younger than 6 months of age, who are not eligible for the vaccine themselves," said Dr. Welch. "This year's vaccine is plentiful and available at many places, including health care providers, pharmacies, some employers and Louisiana's parish health units."
In addition to getting the vaccine, DHH encourages the public to take other preventive actions to stop the spread of the flu:

Register-Herald Sports Writer
Of the top five Class AA teams in the state, three are in Region 3. Of those three, only one is promised a trip to Charleston.
No. 1 Bluefield, No. 4 Westside and No. 5 Wyoming East, along with underdog PikeView, will all be in action tonight with a trip to Charleston and the state tournament on the line.
Perhaps no team has a tougher road to the championship than the No. 1 team in the state.
The Bluefield Beavers and Wyoming East Warriors will engage in their third battle of the season at 7 p.m. inside the Beaver-friendly confines of the Brushfork Armory in Bluewell.
The previous times the two squads met, Bluefield walked away victorious. Unlike their first meeting, a 75-56 beatdown in New Richmond, the Warriors took it to the Beavers the entire night. Bluefield only won on a D.J. Edwards basket with 5.4 seconds remaining in the game.
For the Warriors to be victorious, they'll need to stop the hot backcourt duo of Anthony Eades and Lykel Collier. Eades and Collier combined for 49 points when the two squads met on Jan. 11. However, Collier was almost non-existant in their Feb. 19 victory, being held to only five points.
While Wyoming East may not be receiving the accolades it had been earlier in the season, it would be foolish to look past the No. 5 team in the state.
The Warriors' eight losses have come from some very stiff competition. They've lost to Class AAA No. 2 Woodrow Wilson twice, Class AA No. 1 Bluefield twice, No. 3 Robert C. Byrd once and three times to No. 4 Westside.
n n n
While Bluefield and Wyoming East will be sure to be a battle for the ages, Westside's trip to the capital city may be only slightly more than a walk in the park. They'll host PikeView tonight in Clear Fork. It will be the first meeting this season between the two schools.
The Renegades — and their "Renegade Rowdies" faithful — are among the hottest teams in the state. The No. 4 team in Class AA has rattled off nine straight victories — including three over county rival Wyoming East — since falling to No. 1 Bluefield 67-56 in the opening round of January's Big Atlantic Classic.
Part of that hot streak can be credited to the hot play of Corey Bowles. The junior guard has averaged 22 points in his last four games.
However, much of Clear Fork will be praying that Bowles' injured ankle will be better for a run at states, which was injured in the first quarter of the Wyoming East game last week. After the game, he said it was "terrible," but has been rehabbing it through the week.
Westside's Levi Lambert, Justin Cogar and sixth man Will Fox should be able to spark the Renegade offense should Bowles be unable to go.
PikeView's 6-16 record may not be indicitve of the talent the team has. The Panthers have 9 players on their roster over 6-foot tall, including 6-foot-5 senior Zach Meadows. The height could create a matchup problem for the smaller, guard driven Renegade team.
Tipoff will be at 7 p.m.

Scott Radcliff, AIA, ACHA, NCARB, LEED AP, project architect for Hasenstab Architects, has received the American College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA) Board Certification in healthcare architecture.
Akron, Ohio (PRWEB) July 02, 2014
Scott Radcliff, AIA, ACHA, NCARB, LEED AP, project architect for Hasenstab Architects, has received the American College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA) Board Certification in healthcare architecture. This certification is earned by architects specializing in healthcare design.
Radcliff, who has been with Hasenstab Architects since 2009, has more than 12 years of healthcare design experience specializing in simulation design, pediatric and neonatal environments, and facility planning. ACHA certification has always been a professional goal of his, Radcliff said.
Throughout my career, Ive had the privilege to work alongside multiple members of the ACHA, Radcliff said. Through my interactions with each of them and their mentoring, I developed a great respect for their high level of expertise and passion for healthcare design. I consider it an honor to join them in their pursuit to improve healthcare environments.
Radcliff has served as project architect for a variety of healthcare projects including Ashland University College of Nursing Simulation Design Center and the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare Campus Expansion. Most recently, Radcliff worked on the $180 million Critical Care Tower for Akron Childrens Hospital.
My experiences working on projects at Akron Childrens have allowed me to refine my planning, design, detailing, and operational understanding of these types of facilities, Radcliff said. As both a parent and a healthcare architect, I empathize with the customers and bring a unique perspective to the design of neonatal and pediatric spaces.
The ACHA provides Board Certification for architects who practice as healthcare specialists. In order to become ACHA certified, candidates must provide extensive documentation outlining their experience, multiple peer and client references, as well as pass a computer-based examination to demonstrate their skills and knowledge level.

The Oklahoma State University women's tennis team gained confidence with a second-place finish at the Big 12 Tournament. At 11 a.m. Saturday, the Cowgirls hope to use that confidence when they face Long Beach State in the NCAA tournament in Los Angeles.
"It was a great motivator for the team," OSU coach Chris Young said. "It showed our team can play with anybody in the country. Baylor has been a dominating top 10 program for the last several years. It's been a benchmark for other teams in the league."
The 49ers (21-3) won the Big West Championship, losing only two matches the entire tournament. Young said they will definitely be a tough opponent.
"(Long Beach State) knows how to win," Young said. "They've won a lot of close matches. They haven't lost in two months so I'm sure they are very confident going in. They've been to multiple NCAA tournaments, so it's nothing new for them. ... Their doubles is good, so it will be really important for us to get that doubles point and rely on the depth all throughout our lineup."
Oklahoma State (15-8) beat TCU 4-2 and Baylor 4-3, which it lost to earlier in the season. The victory over Baylor was the Cowgirls' first over the Bears in 12 years. No. 6 singles player Karyn Guttormsen earned the clinching victory in three sets.
"That was a big win for her," Young said. "She lost to the girl when we played before. We knew Baylor was going to put the same girl against her. Karyn lost the first set in a tiebreaker and it would have been easy for her to feel like it wasn't her day. So she rebounded and put up a good second set and was up 5-1 in the third set. It should definitely give her some confidence."
The Cowgirls fell to Texas in the championship.
Oklahoma State is also sending an individual doubles team as Malika Rose and Kanyapat Narattana received an at-large bid. Young said they are deserving.
"They started off ranked really high in the preseason and knew they had a chance if they played well throughout the season," Young said. "We haven't had a singles or doubles player since I've been here. ... They beat the number three team in the country and that should give them confidence that they can compete against anybody."
If the Cowgirls win they will likely face No. 7 UCLA. Young said he hopes his squad will have that shot.

Somewhat to the contrary we have been shown that how close a unit is to leveling is something that is knowable. Wanda said the woman chosen to kill Ossomer was selected because she was "close to leveling". Now, maybe this is specific to Wanda and decrypted but we have no evidence either way.

New York's homicides drop by 19.6% while Chicago's homicides rise by 15.6%"The number of murders this year will be lower than any time in recorded city history," Bloomberg said Friday in a statement announcing that homicides in the city this year had fallen to 414 the fewest since it started keeping such statistics in 1963.About the same time Friday, Chicago police were trying to get the message out that their city hadn't actually recorded its 500th homicide this year, as was being reported. A few hours later, they had to backtrack and acknowledge that, yes, in fact, "the city has seen its 500th homicide for 2012."That's right: There were more homicides this year in Chicago than in New York, a city with three times the population. That means Chicagoans were proportionally 3.7 times more likely to be homicide victims than New Yorkers were in 2012:
New York didn't just reduce homicides it reduced them by 19.6 percent. And Chicago didn't just have more homicides it had 15.6 percent more.Both figures are extraordinary. Last year, homicides fell by about 4 percent in New York, exactly in line with other U.S. cities with populations greater than 1 million, according to FBI figures. They fell in Chicago by just less than three-quarters of 1 percent.While there's always the chance that the changes are just statistical flukes, two concrete factors appear to be at least partly responsible: money and priorities.
New York's police budget held steady in fiscal 2012, at about $4.6 billion.Emanuel, facing a $300 million budget deficit, by contrast cut $67 million from the $1.3 billion police budget a 5 percent reduction that was down from his original proposal to cut police funding by 15 percent.While Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the cuts would help the police department become more efficient, Jens Ludwig, a criminal justice expert at the University of Chicago, said it was difficult "to think that you could have budget cuts like these and have no impact on crime and other aspects of public life."
The other factor is commitment, Ludwig said. "New York City seems to be exceptionally focused on getting illegal guns off the street," he said.
"New York City has taken that idea seriously for illegal gun carrying, recognizing that illegal guns on the street greatly increase the risk that an argument turns into a murder," he said.Kelly, the New York police commissioner, stressed that point Friday, saying his officers had taken 8,000 weapons "out of the hands of people we stop, 800 of them illegal handguns." "We're preventing crimes before someone is killed and before someone else has to go to prison for murder or other serious crimes," he said.
Bloomberg made a similar point, singling out what he called the city's renewed commitment to Operation Impact, a 2003 state initiative that pairs new police recruits with veteran officers in specific high-crime areas. The city's participation "reflects our commitment to doing everything possible to stop gun violence," he said.Left unmentioned was the city's controversial stop-and-frisk policy, which allows officers to search someone as he or she exits a private building if they have a "reasonable suspicion" that the person is likely to commit a crime.
I hate being # 1" The hardest thing about disarming an armed suspect is not slipping on your own shit "

Coming Soon: $500 for Every Newborn?
Proposed legislation would start every American on a path toward savings.
Imagine a world where every baby received a trust fund at birth. It might sound like a fairy tale, but being born into money—or at least into a $500 savings account—could soon become reality for all children born in the United States. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would give each newborn just that, with the goal of promoting savings that would later be used for education, a first home, or retirement. Here's what you should know about the ASPIRE ("America Saving for Personal Investment, Retirement, and Education") Act:
[Slide Show: The Top 10 Fall Deals.]
How would this program work?
The ASPIRE Act would give each child born in the United States a $500 savings account. Recipients could then use that money once they were older to pay for education, a first home, or retirement. Low-income children would receive additional funding, and all participants could add to their accounts over time.
Would it really help people save more money? Five hundred dollars isn't much.
The purpose of the accounts, says Reid Cramer, director of the Asset Building Program at the New America Foundation, is to get people invested in their future. "Having an asset has the potential to change the way people think and plan for their future, and sometimes those effects can be generated just from small asset holdings," he says, adding that it's possible for people to build up significant savings over time. The ASPIRE Act also pairs the creation of the accounts with financial literacy programs in schools.
Indeed, pioneering research by University of Michigan professor Michael Sherraden suggests starting individual savings accounts for lower-income people can lead them to feel more confident about the future. Recipients of such accounts also report feeling that they have greater control over their lives, including the ability to plan for education and retirement costs. Further studies have shown that owning assets is associated with greater empowerment and civic participation, increased income, and positive educational outcomes.
Why not just give the money to low-income people who really need it?
Entitlement programs that benefit everyone, such as Social Security and Medicare, tend to enjoy more widespread support and therefore last longer. Programs aimed exclusively at lower-income groups, such as welfare programs, often attract more controversy and receive less political support.
"The important thing is that everybody gets an account," says Cramer, and that it's opened automatically so families don't need to take much action. It would still be a progressive program, he adds, because as the ASPIRE Act is currently written, poorer families would receive additional funding.
[See also: Credit Card Fees: 5 Things You Should Know.]
Don't we already have a lot of policies in place that encourage savings?
Yes, but they tend to mainly help people with higher incomes. According to Sherraden, two thirds of retirement tax benefits go to households that earn incomes of $100,000 and higher. Policies that encourage homeownership, such as tax deductions on interest payments, similarly benefit those who can already afford to purchase homes. Other savings systems, such as 529 accounts for college savings, depend on parents opening the accounts and making deposits. The ASPIRE Act is different because each child would have an account and receive an initial deposit.
Has this been tried anywhere before?
Yes—in Great Britain. Since September 2002, children born in the United Kingdom have received a $500 savings account, just as the ASPIRE Act would provide in the United States. Recipients can withdraw the money after the age of 18; unlike in the proposed U.S. version, there are no restrictions on how they can spend the money. About one quarter of the recipients add extra money to the account, and, according to calculations by Cramer, most of the accounts go up in value so they are worth over $600. (The money is invested in a diversified portfolio of stocks, much like college savings, or 529, accounts in the United States.) Since the program's first enrollees are now only 7 years old, it's too early to say how they will spend the money once they turn 18.

"This product is AMAZING! I have used so many hair treatments in the past but this one has to beat all of them out of the water. My hair feels so soft and shiny I couldn't believe it. I have been coloring and bleaching my hair for so long that I used anything to make it feel the way it used to again. It says to leave in for 20 minutes, but what I did was massage it all in my hair put it in a bun and leave it in over night for the super deep conditioning. I could do without the smell, I mean its not that bad, I mean if it's going to make my hair feel nice then I can deal with it. I highly recommend this to any ones hair is dried and warn out.

Which Technologies Add The Most Value To Small Businesses?
The ways in which small businesses use technology can be central to their success, right from business start-up to operations over a period of months and years.
One self-inflicted problem that small businesses tend to encounter is a lack of spending on technology, be this through a lack of funds or understanding, which ultimately holds them back from seeing the very best gains in efficiency and profitability, for example.
We looked at the technology that small businesses should use most readily in order to fuel growth and be as successful as possible.
POS Platforms
While point of sale (POS) is something limited to use by retailers and perhaps other sales businesses, the potential that it brings is such that it would be wrong not to look at it here.
Going for a platform that can be used on a mobile basis is the key, as you are then not limited to selling in one location, which is what happens if you commit a large sum of money to a software firm to install a system in your shop.
Look for as many 'bells and whistles' as possible so that you have analysis of your business, knowledge of best sellers, profitability, and everything else that you need to know to make your operation better.
Social Media Software
Many large businesses are increasingly dedicating more of their marketing resources to social media, and there is no reason why smaller ones shouldn't do the same.
We don't want you sitting in front of a computer all day updating your Twitter feed yourself, however, so that means investing in social media software. A service such as Hootsuite is not expensive, and will help you reach your audience when you need to, helping you to grow in the background while you concentrate on selling and product development.
Mobile Devices
Yes, we mentioned these in terms of POS, but there is far more to a mobile device that just selling. Downloading the best apps that will help you to manage your business means that you can have all of the information you need at your fingertips while tasks happen in the background.
Apps that will help you to succeed include customer relationship management platforms, that can be synchronized with your calendar to tell you when calls need to be made or a regular order needs to be fulfilled. Financial applications will enable you to gather your numbers together quickly and easily without the use of an accountant, saving you time as well as money.
Website Hosting
One of the most powerful tools in the whole business world is a website, especially if generating sales online is a key component of your overall strategy. Being successful online can depend hugely on the power of your server, especially if you are using your site to sell products or to encourage customers to submit enquiries so that you can call them back.
When it comes to technology for your business, you might feel that you cannot afford to invest in certain products, but when looking at it closely, you will soon realize that you cannot afford not to. Discover the products that will add real value to your business for the long-term, and you will soon be sitting back and enjoying the benefits.
Robert Rayford is an online content writer passionate about small business and technology, specifically how software and platforms such as POS can be developed to be tailored more towards small businesses to a greater extent.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Police are warning homeowners across south Charlotte after thousands of dollars worth of valuables have been taken from homes over the last couple of months.
Officers have seen a spike in thefts lately, and contractors and other visitors allowed into the home might be behind at least some the break-ins.
One home in the 1200 block of Chandler Place in the Providence Park neighborhood of south Charlotte was robbed of $18,000 worth of family heirloom silver, kids games and jewelry. The theft occurred sometime in July, and the owners say they had several workers over to the home for repairs.
"At first I thought, did I move them," asked homeowner Sarah Winchester-Sikes. "I have four kids and we have a tendency to re-arrange things."
Over the next couple months, Winchester-Sikes noticed more items missing. That includes last week, when she called police to her house.
"I opened a drawer and that's when I noticed my parent's silver was gone," she added.
Winchester-Sikes says no one broke into her home and there are no keys missing. She says a handful of contractors have been to the house working on various items because the house is older and needed a few things fixed.
She was home most of the time contractors were there but was busy watching her kids instead of the workers. She also says there were two times when a contractor was there when she was gone.
About a mile away in one Foxcroft neighborhood a woman reported her $6,000 diamond engagement ring was stolen while paint contractors were in and out of the house during a project. The police report indicates the robbery took place sometime in April but it was just now reported.
The two south Charlotte thefts are on top of five other residential burglaries in the last week at homes on Providence Road, North Wendover Road, Ellsworth Road, Beal Street and Greentree Drive.
Everything from computers to video games, jewelry and cell phones were taken, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department reports.
Police have increased patrols in those areas and urge people not to let their guard down if guests are working in their homes.

The Plattsmouth Park Board is asking you to contact the police department if you see anyone vandalizing the parks.
Rhylander Park has had a recent streak of incidents involving breaking off of tree limbs, trashing the restrooms, trashing the playground, etc.
The Cassgram reports that Plattsmouth Park maintenance workers have been spending considerable time each morning cleaning up from the day before.
"Considering the cuts the department has had to endure, it is even more of a hardship to keep the parks a nice place for all," says a Park Board statement. "We ask the help of local citizens by calling the police if they see anything suspicious."

Attention summer 2014 COMSC students!
Please take one (or more) of the following brief surveys. They are anonymous, and they help inform the department about the effectiveness of our teaching methods. There are surveys for the beginning and the end of each semester, and they are exactly the same, enabling us to measure how much learning took place.
It is not necessary to show the receipt to your instructor unless specifically asked to do so. So check with your instructor about that. And thanks for your participation!

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is condemning the killing of a 13-year-old boy who was allegedly shot by a neighbor.
Barrett also is promising an investigation into how police treated the boy's mother after her son was gunned down last week.
Darius Simmons was fatally shot after taking out the garbage. Seventy-five-year-old John Spooner is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in Simmons' death.
Police say Spooner waited for them to arrive and told them he shot Simmons. But Bishop Tavis Grant, national field director for the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition, says police questioned Simmons' mother, Patricia Larry, for two hours and searched her home, while her son lay dead in the street
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/NYedGT) reports community members met Friday with the mayor.
