The BNI
Brent Turrentine hits a drive on No. 3 while Frank Marra looks on at Grandview Country Club.
- The BNI
Familiar names stand atop BNI leaderboard
David Hunter, the director of the 34th BNI Memorial Tournament, sponsored by First Community Bank, may not have known the exact scores to fill in, but the names at the top of his leaderboard could have been put in place before Saturday's opening round even began.
Tournament allows brothers to spend rare time together
When Register-Herald photographer Rick Barbero called his brother, David, in 2002 and invited him to drive the 526 miles from Rochester, N.Y., to Beckley to participate in a golf tournament, David, 55, must have thought his younger sibling was losing his mind.
- BNI scores, tee times
34th BNI golf tournament begins today
It's a celebration. It's a family reunion and it's a stroll through some of the area's most scenic spots.
Oh. And there's also a golf tournament.
Dates set for BNI golf tourney
The evenings are growing longer, and the sun is shining brighter.
It must be time for golf.
Final Scores
Scores after the final round of the 33rd annual Beckley Newspapers Memorial Golf Classic:
Reece's focus will shift soon
It would be easy to assume that winning a third BNI Memorial Golf Classic title would be the highlight of the summer for Brandon Reece.
Stage is set for an exciting conclusion to tournament
Strategy is a critical aspect of sports.
1st competitive round at Brier Patch was no trouble for Waters
Golf is not an easy game, even if some might make it seem that way.

They are terrific party favours for a princess party. I took out the shoes and used them as place holders at everyone's seat. I added in some princess pencils a pack of cards and a sharpener to replace the missing shoe. The colour of the box worked for boys as well. I just added in a crown, a small lego kit from the Kingdoms collection and a ring pop.

That's awesome re: the ice cream! I'll definitely have to dip into that. I think I will also be filing IFR (tail number 12657) because my instructor will be joining me also. I'm planning on bringing a carrier with me but let me know if I don't need to. See you at 2:00 Saturday afternoon at KOXI!
Becky - I think Campbell airport in Grayslake is probably closest to you? If so, I can fly into Campbell. Let me know. I'm guessing the flight time from KOXI to Campbell is between an hour and an 1:15 depending upon the route we take. I will text u when we're leaving KOXI (probably around 2:15-2:30 so should be to Campbell by 4).

An Adventurous Animal Spirit
3.5 out of 5 popcorn buckets
Director: Cameron Crowe
Writers: Aline Brosh McKenna, Cameron Crowe, book by Benjamin Mee
Cast: Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Elle Fanning, Thomas Haden Church, Colin Ford, Maggie Elizabeth Jones, John Michael Higgins
SYNOPSIS: A widower moves his troubled son and carefree daughter to a run-down house and zoo in the Southern California countryside in an attempt to make a fresh start in their lives.
REVIEW: The last major film project brought to the masses by Cameron Crowe was the so-so 2005 Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst Elizabethtown. The Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire writer/director returns to the big screen after six years to bring us the story of writer and adventure junkie Benjamin Mee who moves his kids out to the Southern California countryside to fix up a run-down zoo and fix up his relationships with his son and daughter. 27 Dresses and I Don't Know How She Does It scribe Aline Brosh McKenna assists Crowe to Americanize Benjamin Mee's book.
In the Benjamin Mee book, he uproots his wife and two children to the English countryside to fulfill his dream of refurbishing a zoo. While making repairs to the property, his wife falls ill with a brain tumor and passes away. In the film version Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon, Contagion) has already lost his wife to her illness and struggles to handle his morose son Dylan (Colin Ford, Push) and spirited daughter Rosie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones, Footloose (2011)). When Dylan is expelled from school, Benjamin decides to uproot his family and move them into a house that sits on a property that includes a dilapidated zoo with hundreds of exotic animals. Seeing the possibility of an adventure that could reconnect him with his son, Benjamin sinks all of his savings into the zoo, its animals, and the staff in an experiment that may leave him and his family in financial ruin. Benjamin's accountant brother Duncan (Thomas Haden Church, Sideways) tries to talk Benjamin out of the project at every turn, but Benjamin pushes on with the help of zoo keeper Kelly Foster (Scarlet Johansson, Iron Man 2), her niece Lily Miska (Elle Fanning, Super 8), Robin Jones (Patrick Fugit, Almost Famous), and enclosure designer Peter MacCready (Angus Macfadyen, Braveheart). Standing in their way to success besides money and a proper zoo re-opening is MacCready's nemesis and USDA inspector Walter Ferris (John Michael Higgins, Bad Teacher).
We Bought A Zoo is a tender and real portrait of the lengths a father will go to keep his fractured family together and safe. So many can relate and reflect on the aftermath of the tragic loss of a loved one. Matt Damon does his utmost to bring gravity to every hard decision his character needs to make, while keeping the spark of hope alive. Together with Colin Ford as his angst-ridden son forced to the countryside zoo and Maggie Elizabeth Jones as his wide-eyed adventure-ready daughter, Damon unites the audience on their journey. Scarlet Johansson excels as the hard-working but sensitive zoo keeper, desperate to keep thriving the animals she has spent years caring for. But the humans are only part of the story.
As the Mee family tries to hang on to their fragile family, they still need to try and get a rundown zoo in good enough shape to pass inspection for a grand re-opening. Rosie decides to foster the hatching of peacock chicks. Benjamin takes on the responsibility of the care of an aging and ailing Bengal tiger, projecting his own frailties onto the large cat. Dylan, on the other hand, withdraws to his sketchbook to pour his feelings onto its pages through pencil and marker.
Lions, tigers and a bear, oh my! We Bought A Zoo will keep you rooting for the Mee family and the zoo staff throughout. Can father and son work out their differences? Can Benjamin come up with the fortitude and finances to get the zoo running again? Walk a mile in a bear's paw prints to find out.

Is it wrong that most of the articles I completely skip nowadays and just go straight into commenting like I read the whole thing? No? Whew, that was a load off my shoulders. It must be hard for the regular bloggers to think of stuff (correction... baseball related stuff) to blog about. Usually when I feel the need for a blog it has nothing to do about baseball, not really anyway.
Its time for a revolution. We as members need to take over the blogs and articles section from current
We are in the middle of an 8-game losing streak which has seen the Twins outscored 51-22 and completely inept at times. The starting rotation is in shambles and managed to make it through just 29.1 innings in these games with only 2 starts getting past the 5th inning. Needless to say, the offense hasn't been much better. A bad starting rotation and an anemic offense amount to losing games in bunches.
How do we fix it? Luckily for the 3 people that read this,I know all the right answers.

So I was curious the other about my believed ineptitude of the Twins at the DH position. So I looked up basically the last 10 years of position specific hitting. Surprisingly, the Twins have utilized the DH pretty well. Obviously, they are not Boston with David Ortiz, but it hasn't been Rondel White numbers either.
In the recent history, they had Thome which clearly boosted their numbers. For a few years they were right at the top of the league! I stopped a second, made sure I was looking
The first step in realizing you have a problem is admitting to it right? Well, apparently the next step either doesn't exist or is locked away in Gringott's to never see the light of day. Thing is, I'm an elitist. Whew. That was more difficult than it seems... actually, na not really.
I have a problem reading nonsense and tolerating irrational or outrageous (deemed by me of course) thoughts. Its not that you don't have a right to post about anything you want, its just that you are probably
Trevor Plouffe is going on a rehab assignment and will be back with the Twins on Monday if all goes well. He was quoted today saying only direct pressure applied to the nerve bothers him, and they have figured out a way to avoid this happening. On one hand, I'm worried for the people along the 1st base line in Rochester tomorrow, and on the other I will be smashing F5 to see if he hits a HR. It has almost been an entire month since he has been out of the line-up, so I want to retouch his break-out
Ok, I'm starting off my blogging here with a top ten list... No big deal, since we're on the internet all of our tact and self-respecting ways (maybe just respecting ways in general) get thrown out the window, or lost in transition to the keyboard.

New Paranormal Show on Animal Planet/The Haunted
Posted 04 December 2009 - 12:36 PM
The latest entry is The Haunted on Animal Planet. Yes, Animal Planet. Its about spirit dogs, ghost cats and spectral lemurs (okay, I made that one up) and the places they haunt. In the style vein of Discovery Channels A Haunting, this new show seems nicely done. Its about quality storytelling, and I hand it to Animal Planet here. The storytelling is good.
Live pets are also heavily featured as The Haunted explores the theory that animals are sensitive to paranormal activity. From their About page
Animals are commonly believed to be more sensitive than humans. According to psychics, they are capable of sensing spirits that cannot be seen or heard by even the sharpest minds. THE HAUNTED chronicles true, chilling and terrifying stories of animals and their owners who are experiencing the unexplainable.
Check it out for yourself at http://animal.discov...tv/the-haunted/ If you watch their video clips, you have to get past their sponsor ads. But if youre used to hulu, its not so bad. Theyre short.
Their next episode is on December 6th at 9pm CST. Add this to the line-up and Im never going to get out of the house. Bliss.
By the way - All opinions here are mine. If I could get a sponsorship from Animal Planet to flog their show, youd hear me shouting joy from the rooftops.

I saw the one with the horses and I liked that one... I know it's all for entertainment. I think spirits just want you to know that they are there and that you are going to take care of the place they loved so dearly... Acknowledge them and don't be afraid and I believe that things will settle down. To me it's a thing of mind over matter.

Just curious if anyone else watches this show... I was watching the most recent episode (I set my DVR to record them) this morning and they are really into the whole demon thing. And I was laughing my head off because they said that they caught an orb on video and it was obviously dust (it was very flat and transperant) and the priest on there doing the exorcisim said that orbs fall into two catogories... Demonic and Angelic. *rolls eyes* Why is everyone so into demons and think that every malevent haunting means there is a demonic presence?
yes, i catch this when i can; there was one about a candle shop that was really interesting; it's entertainment

They put a lot of extra graphics and stuff in at random times to try to at the "scary" affect, and I think they do that more than they actual try to prove the paranormal phenomena. And sure, animals could be sensitive to it, but how can we prove that? Animals can't speak english...so they can't tell us whats going on. If a dog randomly starts barking, well call me crazy but I'm pretty sure most dogs do that. They kind of jump to conclusions about silly little things, that's my opinion anyone. If someone thinks differently I would like to hear what they have to say...

Title: Shake the Feathers
Project Director: D. Shane Barnett
Target Population: American Indian/Alaska Native
Age Group: Adolescents, Adults
The Shake the Feathers project seeks to bring HIV/AIDS prevention, intervention, and care services to one of the most at-risk populations in the country. The project focuses on high-risk youth, injection drug users (IDU), men who have sex with men (MSM), lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and two spirit (LHBT-TS) populations. This project is a collaborative effort between Native American Health Center, Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits and Native American AIDS Project. The target area for the project includes the Northern California counties of Alameda and San Francisco and urban metropolitan areas of Oakland.
The objectives of the project are to: increase knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS; change behavior and utilization of HIV/AIDS services; increase the target population's access to health care services; and mobilize coalitions and community networks within the Native American community to improve awareness and knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The project utilizes a holistic model that combines culturally appropriate health education and outreach, rapid HIV testing, primary care, mental health services, social networking, and a cultural wellness model to reduce the rates of HIV/AIDS in the Native American community. In this model, prevention, intervention and treatment are linked in an integrated support system that uses culture, community and spirituality as a foundation for service delivery. Activities include: development of HIV prevention curricula; annual dissemination to individuals through cultural wellness workshops; development and dissemination of culturally age appropriate health education materials; assessment and provision of risk reduction counseling to 150 individuals yearly; referrals to primary medical and mental health care; and HIV testing of 100 individuals referred to medical, psychological or preventive services. Shake the Feathers events are conducted in San Francisco and Oakland to mobilize coalitions and community networks within the Native American community by generating follow-up, spin-off events such as health fairs, presentations and forums.

Owner Drawing The String Grid
For StringGrids with simple content the default drawing action is sufficient, but when various aligns or different colours need to be included in the stringgrid, drawing code must be written in the OnDrawCell event to support owner draw. Owner draw does not need to be specifically set (as one has to with a TListBox), one just places drawing code...

Another one is the state image and yet another one the normal/selected image. What to do when more images are needed for a node...

Crypting Your Delphi Application INI (Configuration) Files
In most of my Delphi applications I'm using INI files to store configuration options. For one particular situation I wanted to somehow hide the content of the INI file. Yes, INI files are not to be used to store critical data, but in this case I only simply wanted to have a no-eye situation. Let's see how to crypt and uncrypt INI files.

Since it can take some time until the control renders its content - I have found myself looking for an Active property...
Using Margins and Padding Properties in Delphi's VCL
One of the neateast new properties (in Delphi versions 2006 and up) you can find in the Object Inspector are the Margins, Padding and AllignWithMargins. For me, there's no user interface like the one you can set up using just a few panels, their Align property and now with the help of Margins and Padding the UI gets even better.

ViewOnly property is a mix of Enabled and ReadOnly where the control with ViewOnly set to true will not be grayed, will be read only but a user will not be able to set the input focus to the control. Class helper to add the ViewOnly property to all TWinControl descendants.
Extending TCustomEditControls (TMemo, TRichEdit) with a ViewOnly property
In Delphi, descedants of the TCustomEdit type, like TEdit, TMemo and TRichEdit, expose two properties you can use to make the editor not-editable: ReadOnly and Enabled. How about a ViewOnly property that would be a mix or Enabled and ReadOnly where the control with ViewOnly set to true will not be grayed, will be read only but a user will not be able to set the input focus to the control?
Disabling Container Child Controls when Enabled property changes
When an edit box or a label is placed on a panel, in a Delphi application, if the Enabled property for the panel is set to False, the label and the edit box will *not* appear grayed - as you would expect! Here's a quick fix.
Implementing "Cancel All Edits" for a Configuration-type Form in Delphi
Configuration forms often have a cancel button used to revert any edits to the edit controls back to original (initial) values. Here's how to implement such a mechanism in Delphi applications.
Understanding Owner Drawing in Delphi
Owner Drawing - an excellent way to improve the look and feel of your Delphi application by changing the control's standard appearance.
Approaches to Automatically Testing Visual Delphi Components
The main difficulty in testing visual Delphi components is simulating mouse and keyboard events and testing the appearance of the components. This article described a method to automate the mouse and keyboard and to compare screen-captures of the components with previous versions that are believed to be correct.
Using and Understanding the TCoolBar Delphi Control
Make your application user interface cool with Delphi's TCoolbar component. It's like a toolbar, except that you can place *anything* you want on it.
How to Search for Files and Folders (matching a mask)
Stop. This is the one and only solution to file searching. Use Delphi to find any file in any directory and/or subdirectory that match a certain mask. Start searching.
Create your own Windows Explorer using Delphi's File and Directory controls
The Win 3.1 Delphi components palette group includes several components that enable us to build our own custom File Open or File Save dialog box. The components are TFileListBox, TDirectoryListBox, TDriveComboBox, and TFilterComboBox. Let's see how we can build a simple File Navigating dialog box with these components and just a few lines of code.
What are Delphi Components?
Components are essential elements of the Delphi environment. It's crucial for every Delphi beginner to understand what VCL (Visual Component Library) has to offer.
Generic Solution to Coloring the Focused Entry Control
Generic solution to changing the background color (and other properties) of the focused (selected for input) Delphi control. Learn how to exploit the powers of the RTTI, OnEnter and OnExit events of a Delphi control along with the TScreen's OnActiveControlChange event to provide a more user friendly application interface.
TScreen Object Demystified
Coding the TScreen object, obtainer of all information about the current state of the screen in a Delphi application.

Learn how to access a group of design-time created components - by storing the components in an array.
Basic Clipboard Operations (Cut / Copy / Paste) using Delphi Code
The Windows Clipboard represents the container for any text or graphics that are cut, copied or pasted from or to an application. This article will show you how to use the TClipboard object to implement cut-copy-paste features in your Delphi application.
How to Mimic Office 2007 Rich Menus using Owner Drawn Delphi's TMenuItems
A sample Delphi application that demonstrates how you can make your menu items take on the new look of the Office 2007 - doing rich menus using owner drawing techniques.
Understanding Drag and Drop Operations in Delphi
Delphi makes it easy to program dragging & dropping into our applications. We can even drag and drop from one form to another or from Windows Explorer to our application, or from-to what ever we want, as you will see.
Advanced Mouse Processing in Delphi Applications
More sophisticated Mouse techniques. Is mouse Present? Handling OnMouseEnter, OnMouseLeave. Restrict movement, Set Position, Faking clicks, etc.
Monitoring Mouse Activity in Delphi applications
Is the mouse over a component? Was a mouse button pressed? Which button was it? Did the user release a button, which one? Exactly where inside the form is the mouse? Did the user move the mouse out of the form into another form?
How to make the Enter key work like Tab in Delphi applications
Pressing the Tab key moves the input focus to next control and Shift-Tab to previous in the tab order of the form. When working with Windows applications, most users intuitively expect the Enter key to behave like a Tab key.

Quick Reports Tutorial
Extensive tutorial on printing with Quick Report components and Delphi.
Streams, streams, ... TStream
A stream is what its name suggests: a flowing "river of data". A stream has a beginning, an end, and you're always somewhere in between of these two points. Learn about using the TStream class in Delphi: how to use stream objects to read from, write to, or copy information stored in a particular medium.
Actions: Lights...Camera...Action!
With an ActionList, we can group and manage "actions" (event handling code) between different components and even re-use them among different applications!
Using Collections
Collections are used for managing lists of items. However, unlike the TList or the TStringList classes, collections manage items that are of the same type. Two common examples of collections are the Panels property of TStatusBar and the Columns property of TDBGrid.
Controls Demystified
Using components is easy. This article helps understanding Delphi controls deeper.
Dynamic Arrays: The TList Class
The TList class is most often used when you need an array whose size can change at run time.

Resizing the Drop-down List of a TComboBox
"Can I resize the drop-down list of a TComboBox so that I can see the complete text of its items?"
TFileStream: Saving List Box Data at Runtime
How do I save data entered in a list box at run time without resorting to a text file or having to deal with the overhead of a table?
Add Custom Sorting To Delphi's TShellListView Control
By design, Delphi's TShellListView sorts files (and folders) ascending by their name. There's no "OnCompare" event you can handle to change the sort order or the column (name, type, date modified, size) used for sorting. Here's how to implement custom sorting in shell list view.
Add A Grab Bar To The TSplitter
The TSplitter Delphi control does a nice job of allowing the user to resize user elements like panels on a form to make the the user interface more flexible. A nice to have for a splitter would be to have a grab bar - and here's how to easily paint one on all your splitter - without having to redesign your user interface.

On April 10, life changed in an instant for Maplewood resident Chris Hansen.
While rollerblading with his two dogs at a park near his home, he had an accident resulting in severe brain injuries.
Hansen, who grew up in New Hope and is an Armstrong High School graduate, says he doesn't remember what actually happened the afternoon of April 10. However, others have helped him piece together the details of what led to his severe injury.
An avid member of the dog rescue community, Hansen left his work at Lakes Area Realty the afternoon of April 10 and went rollerblading with his two dogs. One dog, Jeffrey, was an abused rescue dog Hansen was fostering.
"We think he [Jeffrey] got upset seeing another dog, got twisted up and tripped me up," Hansen said, saying that he was told he fell backward and hit his back and head on the pavement.
"I was told I had taken my rollerblades off and was wandering around," he said. His dogs ran away, with Jeffrey taking off toward the other dog and the other dog eventually found at Hansen's home.
Others have told Hansen that he wasn't responding after the incident, police were called and he was transported to Regions Hospital in St. Paul.
The brain injury Hansen sustained during the accident left him not only hospitalized, but also in an induced coma while his brain continued to swell. One of his multiple surgeries included removing part of his skull to allow his brain to swell, according to Hansen as well as complications leading to his lungs and kidneys failing during the weeks in the ICU.
Weeks after the injury began, Hansen began recovering and eventually woke up to see his mother and girlfriend, "not sure what happened" and ""still not sure why I was there," he said. Nearly a month after the accident, he was moved from the ICU and began his rehabilitation process and coping with the pain. As he prepared to return home two months after the accident, Hansen was told that during his hospitalization his father had passed away and about the loss his dog Jeffrey due to the accident.
Hansen continues to move forward with his recovery, continuing with therapy, appointments and changes in his lifestyle – with injuries continuing to heal.
"Hopefully, one day it [the pain] will go away," he said.
As a former hockey player and youth coach in St. Louis Park, his career and involvement in dog rescue, he was used to an active lifestyle.
"I'm more appreciative to be alive and have what I have," said Hansen of life after the accident. "This has changed my life."
With the loss of Jeffrey, Hansen and his girlfriend later decided to bring another foster dog into their home – Raisin. "I needed it because of what happened to Jeffrey," he said of fostering. "It energizes me – gives me a kick in the ass to know that its not all about me."
At 44-year-old old, Hansen says that he takes it one day at a time and "not everyday is great."
"Whether its good or bad, that's for me to decide," he said.
The Benefit
Hansen said it has been "overwhelming" the number of people that have reached out to him since the accident, stating, "it's meant everything to help me get through."
Several friends from the dog rescue community decided to coordinate the "What the Helmet" fundraiser Oct. 19 at the Maple Tavern in Maple Grove to help Hansen and raise awareness on the importance of helmets.
"We will have raffles and an auction – and yes, guests are encouraged to wear helmets of all sorts (hockey, biking, motorcycle),"said St. Michael resident and former Maple Grove resident Jenna Berneck, the founder of Rovernight Network, board member of Adopt Me Dog Rescue. Others coordinating the event include Sue Bergeson the president of Adopt Me Dog Rescue and Kim Kallestad, Chris' girlfriend and board member of Adopt Me Dog Rescue.
Information on the Friday, Oct. 19 event can be found on the "What the Helmet" Fundraiser for Chris Hansen website here.

BOSTON (AP) — The 19-year-old charged with the Boston Marathon bombing, his throat injured by a gunshot wound, wrote down answers to the questions of investigators about his motives and connections to any terror networks.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's answers led them to believe he and his brother were motivated by a radical brand of Islam without major terror connections, said U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
But the written communication precluded back-and-forth exchanges often crucial to establishing key facts and meaning, said officials who cautioned they were still trying to verify what Tsarnaev told them and were poring over his telephone and online communications.
Tsarnaev was interrogated and charged Monday in his hospital room, where he was in serious condition with the throat wound and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway.
The charges came just hours before a memorial service for one of the three people killed in the bombings, 23-year-old Boston University graduate student Lu Lingzi.

Water Pump Replacement ~ 2000 Silverado
I've got to replace my waterpump in my 2000 Silverado this weekend,,
it has the 6.0,, anything special i need to look for?,, I would think it should
be pretty much like my old 5.7 ,,, just thought i would ask ...
thanks Rhonda
If you did it on 5.7 L then you should not have and issue doing it on your 6L. Just a heads up, there are 2 different water pumps for the 5.3L, I don't know if that also holds true for the 6.0L, one has a thermostat that is replaceable by itself, with the other you have to replace the thermostat and housing together. When I did mine I had to make multiple trips to the parts store to get the correct thermostat for mine. Look at a parts store website like autozone and you should see both there. The guys at the part store have no idea that there are two. I would get the one that matches your current one and replace the thermostat also. I would make sure that you do not put a fail safe thermostat in it. Here is a quick video on the replacement. The hardest part with mine was getting the clutch fan off.

I literally just did this last weekend in my 2000 5.3L.
For getting the clutch fan off, what the Youtube link above shows is a good approach, assuming that your serpentine belt is still attached (mine was not).
If yours also is not; make sure to hit the fan nut with some PB Blaster, grab a large enough wrench (1.25+, I used a large adjustable), and use a Strap Wrench (or similar) to provide tension around the water pump pulley to oppose the motion you are applying to the fan nut. You can try to hold both an squeeze together, or rest the Strap wrench against the water neck housing and lightly tap the Adjustable Wrench with a hammer (like in the video).

From staff reports
Kaleb Porter tallied 17 points to lead four players in double figures, and Pittsburg State made enough free throws in the final minute to beat Dixie State 67-63 Wednesday night in the final game of the Las Vegas Challenge at Orleans Arena.
The Gorillas (9-1) led most of the game but trailed 63-62 after Zach Robbins' jumper with 1:25 remaining.
Marky Nolen's layup put PSU back in front with 1:02 to play, and Dixie State's chance to regain the lead ended with a JaVon McGee steal. McGee was fouled and hit one free throw for a two-point lead with 37 seconds left.
The Red Storm missed a game-tying layup with 26 seconds left, and a free throw by Nolen with 26 seconds left and one by Courtney Ingram at 12 seconds gave the Gorillas their final margin.
Nolen contributed 12 points, seven rebounds and three steals for the Gorillas. McGee scored 11 points and grabbed 14 rebounds — six off the offensive glass — and Ingram had 10.
Steven Larson led Dixie State with 15 points.
Pitt State women bounce back
The Pittsburg State Gorillas women's basketball team rebounded from Tuesday's loss to crush the Dixie State Red Storm 81-58.
Pitt State's Lizzy Jeronimus paced the Gorillas with 20 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals — all team highs. She was 6-of-12 from the field and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line.
Kylie Gafford added 17 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots, while Hailey Roderique scored 13.
Morgan Westhoff made 3-of-4 3-point goal attempts for nine points.
The Gorillas led 42-32 at halftime and continued to pull away in the second half.
Pitt State (7-3) made 24-of-61 of its field goals and 26-of-34 free throws.
Dixie State (6-5) was limited to 19-of-61 from the field and committed 20 turnovers. The Red Storm also made only 13-of-21 free throws.
Kaylah Miller and Mandy Munns led Dixie State with 14 points each.
The Gorillas lost 82-73 the day before in Las Vegas to the Academy of Art. Pitt State shot better from the field and the free-throw line but couldn't slow down the Academy of Art's offense, which received 23 points from Regina Camera and 20 from Jordan Roberts.
The Gorillas are idle until Jan. 3 when they entertain Nebraska-Kearney.

STANISLAUS COUNTY — Stanislaus County leaders approved designs Tuesday for a major jail expansion despite questions about how the county will pay for the daily costs of housing and feeding a larger inmate population.
Stanislaus is forging ahead with the $89.5 million expansion at the Hackett Road complex to incarcerate low-level offenders who are now the county's responsibility because of public safety realignment in California.
Other counties have turned down the state construction funding or are considering less costly jails.
Supervisor Terry Withrow was concerned the new jail facility, with up to 552 beds, will become a drain on county resources, taking local funding away from other purposes. It's expected to cost the county an additional $7.7 million a year just for the 72 new deputies to watch the inmates.
"I was hoping you could pull me off the cliff," Withrow said. "Tell me we will be OK here."
County staff said the project provides the best bang for the buck and deals with liability issues that dogged the state prison system.
The plans, approved on a 5-0 vote, call for a locked facility with up to 480 maximum-security beds and 72 beds for inmates with medical problems or mental health needs. A separate building will house a day reporting center for people on probation, as well as classrooms for rehabilitation and treatment programs.
The initial plans had 384 jail beds in the maximum-security units, but architects believe it's possible to increase the units by 96 beds without going over budget.
County officials foresee budget problems when the project is completed in the second half of 2016. Sheriff Adam Christianson said the facilities could open in phases as operational funding is available. Or the county could close the antiquated 396-bed jail in downtown Modesto and move personnel to the Hackett Road center.
Supervisor Bill O'Brien said the county should stay focused on adding jail capacity to ensure a safer community. The expansion will push the county's jail capacity to about 1,800 beds, which is 300 more than in 2007. With the current 1,226 jail beds, the Sheriff's Department is forced to release dangerous people who should be serving time behind bars, officials said.
"It's up to the board to figure out how to finance the operations," O'Brien said. "If we stay focused on additional jail beds, it will be better for the community."
Supervisor Jim DeMartini said the county needs to consider the costs to the community when criminals remain on the streets to steal and commit other offenses.
The state will cover $80 million of the project through lease revenue bonds. The county has committed $9.5 million in local funds.
The Record newspaper in Stockton reported in June that San Joaquin County scuttled a 1,280-bed jail expansion that was expected to cost $70 million a year to operate. One Bay Area county has explored low-cost modular jail buildings.
Christianson said that using cheaper facilities could subject the county to liability. He predicted the prison reform lawyers who filed lawsuits over conditions in state prisons will be watching how counties manage inmates.

CHARLESTOWN — After an ugly 56-38 loss to New Washington earlier in the week, Charlestown needed a strong comeback performance on Saturday.
The Pirates overpowered Henryville — a team that earlier upset New Wash — in a 58-39 victory at the Charlestown Sports Complex.
"It was very important to come back out and prove to ourselves that we could be a better team than we were against New Wash," Charlestown junior guard Kaitlynn Henning said.
"Our players just needed to bounce back," Charlestown first-year coach Michael Prichard said. "If we played like we did against New Washington, it was going to be a long season. It was hard to watch. I'm glad we bounced back."
Henning led the 2-1 Pirates with 22 points, running the fast break with efficiency and knocking down a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter when Charlestown outscored Henryville 16-8 to clinch the victory.
"I like to set the tempo fast and get the offense going," Henning said. "If I have to slow things down, I will. But I like the up-tempo."
"She's really important on our team," senior Megan Brooks said of Henning. "She sets the tempo. You can always count on her to finish."
Henryville coach Josh Conrad said Henning leading the Charlestown fast break — and his team's inability to stop her — was the key to the game.
"We gave up 16 points in transition, layups," he said. "It's blatant that we're not getting back on defense and they're just shooting layups. Whenever you go into a game with two good teams competing against each other, that puts you at a disadvantage right away. We didn't get back very well."
The Pirates led from start to finish, grabbing an early 7-4 lead on a Justice Burden 3-pointer. They pushed the lead to 13-7 before Henning nailed a 3-pointer at the first-quarter buzzer.

Publication Details
Reducing Mortality Related to Adverse Events in Children
2012; 59 (6): 1293-?
Since the launch of the 100,000 Lives Campaign by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), preventing medical adverse events to reduce avoidable mortality has emerged as a central focus for health care providers, institutions, regulators, insurance companies, and patients. Evidence-based interventions targeting the 6 interventions in the campaign have been associated with a reduction in preventable hospital deaths in the United States. The generalizability of the IHI's campaign to the pediatric population is only partly applicable. Pediatric experiences with rapid response teams and preventing central-line infections parallel the published experience of adults, with promise to significantly reduce preventable pediatric mortality.

An F-16 plane in the middle of a training exercise landed safely at Des Moines International Airport Thursday afternoon after its engine sensor detected a malfunction.
The plane flew around the area beforehand to burn off excess fuel. Five emergency vehicles responded to the runway after the plane landed. No one was injured in the incident.
The Iowa Air National Guard says the plane's engine problem does not appear to be significant.

The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Arnold Palmer bought Bay Hill Club & Lodge because he loved the golf course and wanted it for his own, not having any idea where it all would lead.
Now his name adorns a PGA Tour event that has been a staple of the Florida Swing for 35 years. It's also carried by two hospitals that specialize in children — one named after his late wife, Winnie, and where more than 93,000 babies have been born since 2006.
Oh, and he's having dinner with Kate Upton this week.
"Did you see this?" Palmer said, holding up the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue with Upton on the cover. "She's coming here. Did you know that?"
He put it back on his desk, gave it one last look, and then grabbed a stack of papers to place over the magazine.
"I better cover this up," he said.
He grinned. The man is simply timeless.
How a supermodel wound up at Bay Hill explains so much about the 83-year-old Palmer, who built his kingdom by being a man of the people.
The manager for Upton is Lisa Benson, whose father is from Punxsutawney and used to regularly play golf with Palmer at Latrobe Country Club. She was looking for a job at IMG, which, in addition to managing sports and entertainment, also represents top models. Her father talked to Palmer, who talked to IMG to arrange an interview. She got the job and years later connected with Upton.
Upton grew up in Melbourne on the central coast of Florida, and her parents were huge Palmer fans. Given the back story, Upton thought it would be a great idea to come to Bay Hill, meet with Palmer and see the work he is doing with the hospitals. She also plans to take part in a social media campaign involving the "Arnold Palmer" tea drink.
So in a roundabout way, a casual round of golf leads to dinner with a supermodel?
"That's been a fun deal," Palmer said when he finished telling the story.
There have been thousands of casual rounds like that for Palmer, whose passion for golf never dies. There have been more friends than he can count. There are probably more stories like this, all because he takes an interest in people.
"It's easy," Palmer said. "And I love it."
A staff member came into the room and mentioned two men who were outside the office and wanted to say hello. One was Seth Jones, the editor of Golfdom magazine who recently interviewed Palmer for a project he was working on.
"Well, bring him in," Palmer said, rising from behind his desk with a broadening smile. Dressed in slacks and a pink shirt, Palmer made sure the two men met everyone in the room and made small talk for a few minutes before closing with that powerful handshake and a smile. "Nice to see you guys," he told them.
He sat back down at his desk and picked up a sheet of paper. It was a letter to David Frost, who won the Toshiba Classic on the Champions Tour the day before.
"Congratulations on your strong performance in the Toshiba Classic," he said, reading the letter aloud. "He's playing pretty good."
Talk about a tradition like no other. For years, Palmer has written a note of congratulations to the winners on every tour every week.
Palmer looked down at his desk and found two index cards that had been marked up, and then started rattling off numbers. The 443 beds in the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies. The 13,000 babies born last year alone. The only high-level trauma center in central Florida dedicated to children. More than 3,500 employees and 450 doctors employed by both hospitals.
"That's just a few of the things that we are pushing," Palmer said. "It's a big deal. We'd like to be the No. 1 children's hospital in the world for children and women."
Could he have imagined any of this when he first showed up at Bay Hill in 1965 for an exhibition and fell in love with the place?
"Hell, I didn't have anything in mind except getting a golf course and hitting balls," he said with a laugh. "And it worked."
An assistant came back into the office. Some Japanese photographers were hoping to take his picture. They were outside his door and when Palmer saw them, he rattled off his best Japanese greeting. His voice was animated. The words probably didn't come out the right way. It didn't matter. They all laughed together and Palmer wrapped his arms around one of them and gave her a big hug.

Weatherford Democrat
— By SALLY SEXTON | email@example.com
Karl Moore grew up amid the oil rigs in West Texas. But his journey through military took him overseas and back, before he settled in Weatherford.
Below is his written version of the trials of the U.S. Air Force:
I had just graduated from high school in the summer of 1966 and all was good then. I had just landed a great job and was not thinking about the future.
All of that changed in July, when I received a letter from Hazel Petty, the executive director of the local draft board, to report to Abilene. I was to take a physical for the draft.
Two weeks after the physical, I received orders to report to Abilene for induction into the U.S. Army. I knew it was my time to do my duty and to serve my country. Fortunately, my boss had a son in a similar situation as mine.
Roger had joined the Air Force and his parents said he really enjoyed it.
I called Roger to see how he was doing and to get his thoughts on the Air Force. The conversation helped persuade me to join the Air Force.
I informed my parents of my decision to join and by Sept. 2, I was on my way to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. I have five other brothers, but for various reasons, they were not drafted and did not go into service.
My twin brother [Charles], being married with a child, decided to join the Air Force 18 months later.
In September, I was sworn in to the United States Air Force, which would become my home for the next few years.
After basic training, I was sent to Security Police Training School at Lackland.
Following basic, I received orders to report to Homestead Air Force Base in Florida, about 25 miles south of Miami. Assigned to the 8th Air Force 19th Bomb Wing Security Police Squadron, I walked the flight line for about four months. I was then assigned to training for a year, then to base law enforcement for 10 months.
Because of my hearing, or lack thereof, I was reassigned to the Supply Services Squadron — first the Clothing Sales Store, then to the Salvage Yard.
During that time, Homestead Air Force Base was designated as a Tactical Air Command Fighter Training Base. Because of this designation, my status opened up for deployment to anywhere.
Within three weeks, I received orders to Da Nang Republic of Vietnam and a 30-day week of vacation. I was to report to the 366th SVC Sq. (PACAF) APO SF 96337. Our squadron designation was the 366th gun fighters.
I was assigned to the Ration Breakdown Warehouse. Our job was to deliver food, including fresh vegetables, frozen and canned foods, to the four dining halls every other day. On the days we weren't making deliveries, we would go to the Naval Depot at the Port of Da Nang to pick up supplies and return to the base, unloading our trucks for the next day's shipments to the dining halls on base. Sundays were our only days off.
Having an off-base pass, we were destined to explore the surrounding areas, but all of the areas that we traveled were safe zones, guarded roads and trails.
We would go over to Monkey Mountain, a marine encampment on the side of a mountain overlooking the South China Sea. We would also go to Marble Mountain, where the Army encampment was located.
On the way to visiting these encampments, we were able to see how the Vietnamese people lived and worked. Their homes were made of clay bricks, plywood and cardboard. The cardboard was from the pallets that came from some of the Air Force supply ships, used to bring supplies to the men and women in the service. Sometimes the homes were built only from the cardboard.
On Mondays, it was back to work.
Nights were sometimes the worst. Da Nang was called Rocket City because of all of the rocket attacks through the years. The base was hit by rocket rounds fired from the mountains surrounding the base. This would happen two or three times a week and sometimes, a month would go by before we would be hit again.
The night before I left Vietnam, there was a rocket attack and a fuel tank, holding about 500 gallons of jet fuel, was hit by a rocket, creating a huge fire ball.
I thought to myself, "this could be the end," but things quieted down and we were able to fly out of Vietnam around noon the next day.
On Feb. 2, our airplane flew from Da Nang to Hawaii, and we flew from Hawaii into Norton Air Force Base in California, where the next day, I was discharged.
Six of us had rented a taxi to take us to Los Angeles International Airport, where we caught flights to our different destinations.
I returned to my hometown of Odessa, where I went to work in a chemical plant that produced plastic, some of which was used to make Tupperware products.
For the remainder of my career, I worked in and around the oil field in West Texas until my retirement in 2008, when I came to Weatherford.

Dear editor,
A well-known and disheartening fact is the issue of teenage drug abuse. This issue spans across many different areas of substance abuse. Many are aware of the typical marijuana and alcohol abuse, but you might be shocked to know that the 2012 Missouri Student Survey reported over 11.1 percent of Missouri teens using prescription drugs for recreational reasons. The most commonly used drugs are substances such as Xanax, OxyContin and Vicodin.
Extreme danger lies when these substances are mixed together. When taken together, the effects from the drugs are crossed and overdose risk increases, which may result in brain and/or respiratory failure.
The problem with combating this form of substance abuse is that when caught with medication, it is easy to just say it belongs to a family member and you are just transporting it for them. To some extent this is actually true. Many teens who abuse these drugs obtain them from their parents or grandparents medicine cabinets. Other places teens might get their hands on the medication are: from friends, the trash can, or even the pharmacy. You may be wondering, "How do they get the medication from the pharmacy?" The answer lies in the fact that Missouri is the only state not to have a prescription drug monitoring law.
It makes virtually no sense why Missouri is the only state not to have this legislature. What this law would do if passed is allow medical professionals to keep an accurate record of what and how much prescription medication is taken out from the pharmacy to a single individual. Lee's Summit CARES intern Emily Benigar, shared in an article, "Missouri has the seventh highest drug overdose death rate in the country, a majority of which are from prescription drugs. Without a prescription drug monitoring program in our state, this drug abuse trend will continue to grow."
This dilemma in Missouri must be solved to protect the lives of its citizens. We can make this happen by pushing for a prescription drug monitoring law and getting it passed through Missouri legislature.
Kyle Rampetsreiter
Lee's Summit North High School senior

The CCCC Veterinary Medical Technology program was the first of its kind in NC. Since 1974 the program has been accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association's Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA). Graduates are recognized leaders in their field. Departmental instructors are leaders in the veterinary community. Equipment used in the program is plentiful and state-of-the-art.
Characterized by a bright and enthusiastic nature, successful VMT students are focused on learning. The typical student tends to be an independent person with valuable experience working in a veterinary clinic.
Often students have a background in the sciences coupled with their love and concern for animals. They work well in teams and understand the importance of professional behavior.
The VMT program exposes students to a variety of animals including rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, cattle and horses. In addition to extensive hands-on lab experiences, the program also uses numerous teaching models and demonstrations. Since it is a medical program, uniforms are required and all students have animal care responsibilities. The faculty is dedicated to animal healthcare and teaching. They are an experienced group of well-educated professionals, including two licensed veterinarians and veterinary medical technicians.
A variety of job opportunities awaits graduates of the VMT program. Employers include private veterinary practices, research facilities, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic laboratories, zoos, wildlife rehabilitation centers, state and federal agencies, veterinary teaching hospitals, and specialty and emergency practices.
Students enrolled in the program study nutrition, diseases, anatomy, radiology, parasitology, pharmacology, dental, surgical and clinical procedures, anesthesiology, lab techniques, and office practices. The program has a diverse animal population, a large dog and cat ward, on-campus labs and an off-campus large animal facility.
The instructional program features guest speakers from the NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine, representatives from pharmaceutical and research facilities, and from specialty hospitals, as well as members of the NC Veterinary Board. Students are invited to attend meetings and continuing education seminars sponsored by state veterinary associations. Students in the VMT program are encouraged to join the student chapter of the North American Veterinary Technician Association and the North Carolina Association of Veterinary Technicians.
The program is designed to be completed in two years and is offered exclusively during weekday classes at the Lee County campus in Sanford, NC. Since the college is non-residential, students are individually responsible for their finances and housing.
Students successfully completing the Veterinary Medical Technology Program will be able to:
