Judging by Keys' 7-3 mark this year, it would be hard to argue the success the Cougars are having. But Keys coach Duane Jones has been able to pinpoint some areas that need improving.
His first area of concern: starting strong in games.
"We have to start playing four quarters of basketball," said Jones, whose team rallied from 19 points down to beat Wagoner in overtime on Dec. 18.
So, how does Keys fix its inefficiency early in games?
"It comes more from practice," Jones said. "It's a matter of staying focused in practice and being more intense."
The Cougars hope they solved that problem over the recently-concluded winter break, which offered plenty of practice time over a span of 16 days.
"It was nice to have a winter break where we could get a lot of practices in," Jones said. "We needed some practice time. We played a lot of games [in December], but we didn't get much time to practice with football finishing late."
The Cougars will begin the 2013 portion of their schedule tonight at home against Locust Grove, a team that beat Keys in the only matchup between the two clubs last season.
"They're pretty good," Jones said of the Pirates, who are 4-2. "They have three or four players back from last year, and I think they're one of the better teams in the conference right now."
Keys enters the Verdigris Valley Conference game 4-2 in the league. Locust Grove is 3-2.
"It'll be a tough game after the break for us," Jones said.
Keys girls healthy, ready for 2013
For Mickey Duncan and the Keys girls, winter break was a welcome occurrence.
"It came at a good time for us," said Duncan, Keys' coach. "Since the Catoosa game, we were all sick; we needed some time away from each other."
The rash of illnesses didn't seem to hamper Keys too much, though. The Lady Cougars lost to Catoosa on Dec. 14, but they rebounded to post wins over Vian and Wagoner before heading into the holiday break.
"The break came at the right time," Duncan said.
Next up for the rejuvenated Lady Cougars is the first of back-to-back games with Locust Grove. The two teams will meet tonight at Cougar Fieldhouse before playing each other in the first round of the Locust Grove Invitational on Tuesday.
"It will be kind of tough," Duncan said. "We may try to save some things for the tournament, but we'll see how the game plays out. We would really like to win the first game in the tournament, because we want to play Adair in the next round."
As for Duncan's scouting report on Locust Grove, he said, "They're going to be a team that's going to get up and down the floor. That's the way I like to play, and we'll see if we can pick up the pace of our game and run up and down the floor with them. Hopefully we'll be faster."
Tahlequah girls up to No. 5 in 5A
Four years ago, Tahlequah was at the bottom of Class 5A, looking up at nearly every other in the classification.
As of Tuesday, Tahlequah is near the top of the heap, glancing down at almost 31 other schools in 5A.
When new rankings were posted earlier this week, the Tahlequah girls found themselves ranked fifth in the coaches poll.
Chad Walker's turn-around efforts have certainly been a success.
"Four years ago, when I got here," he said, "we were ranked 30th. Now, we're fifth."
Did the upper-echelon placement catch Walker off guard?
"It was a surprise," Walker said. "...I don't know if we've played up to (the ranking), but by the end of the year, that's probably where we should be."
The ascension in the 5A poll comes after Tahlequah went 1-2 in the Siloam Springs Holiday Tournament. The Lady Tigers blew out Gentry (Ark.) before dropping narrow setbacks to Prairie Grove (Ark.) and Siloam Springs (Ark.).
Now, Tahlequah will travel to Oklahoma City Saturday and take on Bishop McGuinness.
"They're very aggressive," Walker said of the Irish. "They're going to pressure the ball, and they like to drive and kick. I don't think they'll have anyone that can match up with Jhonett (Cookson), but I don't know that for sure."
Irish pose tough test for Tigers
Nothing like getting thrown to the fire for the first time out in 2013. That's the case for Tahlequah on Saturday, when it will play at 5A No. 3 Bishop McGuinness.
"Playing Bishop McGuinness is a great gauge for us and where we're at right now," Tahlequah coach Mike Leafgreen said. "The schedule we've played up until now has prepared us for this game, and it's all steps along the path preparing us for the playoffs."
The Tigers, currently sporting a 3-8 record, has only squared off with one top-10 team this year, and that resulted in a 65-42 loss to Coweta on Dec. 15. But after going 1-2 in last week's Siloam Springs tournament, Leafgreen has reason for hope against the Irish.
"I have a lot of confidence in our guys and them coming out of this weekend having taken another step in the right direction," he said. "If we play well, we'll give ourselves an opportunity to keep it close with a chance at the end."

Today, July 11, is National Collector Car Appreciation Day across the U.S. That means...
Pebble Beach Concours: Best in Show goes to 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne
Peter Mullin, who has about the most beautiful collection of pieces from the art deco movement in the world, now has one more item to add to his collection, the trophy that goes to the Best in Show at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. His 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne took the prize on Sunday.
Mullin has 15 Voisins in his collection, in addition to numerous Bugattis, Talbot Lagos and Delahayes.
"I'm a total French-car nut," he said. "French cars are the ultimate in automotive design, technology and performance."
On Sunday, the judges agreed. But it wasn't an easy decision.
"I thought it would be about like it always is here at Pebble Beach, they get better and better every year, and then you get here and there are over 200 beautiful cars all around you," Mullin said. "I heard, someone said, there were six cars with 100 points each [perfect scores] in our class."
If so, that's really something, since the class had only seven entries. But of course there can be only one winner per class. Pebble Beach now credits runners-up along with the winner. This year, those were a 1929 Bentley Speed Six and a 1938 Talbot Lago, both stunning.
But as every year, there can be only one winner.

Pet Doors to install "Through Glass"
General Information About Pet Doors "Through the Glass"
The first thing to realize regarding an "In-The-Glass" pet door is that you cannot cut tempered glass!! If you attempt to cut tempered glass, it will shatter!
The second thing to realize regarding "In-The-Glass" pet doors from Pet Door Guys is how convenient their system makes installing a doggie door directly through the dual-pane glass of your sliding glass door
Patio Pet Door Company - "In The Glass"Price From: $690.00
Pet Door Guys - "In The Glass"Price From: $549.00

Special Price: $29.95
Special Notices
How do you tell if your glass is tempered? Tempered glass usually has an indicia, or 'bug' as it is called in the trade, in one corner. If you see a bug, the glass is tempered.If you don't see a bug, well.... it may be a plate, which you can cut, and it may not. Older houses are more likely to have plate glass; newer houses probably have tempered. Dual-pane, insulated glass units are almost certainly tempered and shouldn't be cut into anyway. Countries outside the USA would appear to have more plate glass.
Plate glass can be easily cut with a glass cutter. Problem is, it isn't very strong. Some pet doors are specially designed to spread the force over a wide area but they're only meant for cats or for small (and non-hyper) dogs.
The best approach is to have a professional glazier from a local glass shop get you a new piece of glass with the circular cut-out required done for you. This can work for dual-pane glass as well as single pane.
Another way to put a pet door "in the glass" is to replace the glass with 'Lexan'--the generic name is polycarbonate--which looks like glass but which can be drilled and sawed like wood. Use a minimum thickness of 3/16" if possible. Also, look for 'scratch resistant' Lexan.
In addition to glass, these cat flaps are fine candidates for any thin material including plywood or screen.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
Line moves: Packers opened at minus-3, currently minus-3.5.
"Green Bay's injuries include Greg Jennings, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson and three offensive linemen. But we have seen this before with the Packers; overcoming bruises is what they do. In Detroit: Houston, Avril, Houston, Spievey, Delmas, Burleson, Florence and Best round out their laundry list. In looking at point spreads, I believe there is something called 'value fatigue.' A player's absence has its value (PSVAR) immediately (one to three weeks after he's out). But after a while, his loss begins to decrease in importance. My spread for this game would be Green Bay minus-4.5/5."

Floyd Central's quest for its first Shootout title since 2009 fell short at the hands of Kentucky powerhouse Ballard Friday night, 68-55.
The Bruins placed four players in double-figures and their smothering defense forced 28 Highlander turnovers en route to the tournament championship.
"They're so dagone athetlic they can just take certain things away from you and they did that to us tonight," Floyd head coach Kirk Hamsley said. "They're so quick they can make you rush things and we didn't handle that well tonight. They've got a really nice team."
Ballard (13-2) flexed its muscles early by forcing nine first period giveaways and Javonna Layfield poured in 10, including a pair of triples, as the Bruins led 26-15 at the first stop. Tori Kingsley kept Floyd (8-4) in it by scoring nine of her 13 in the first frame.
"It was 17-11 (in the first quarter) and we got to the rim and looked over our shoulder and didn't finish," Hamsley said. "Then they go down and score. Little things like that hurt us."
The Highlanders struggled to find the basket in the second period as a Niki Bruno bucket at the 2:56 mark was the hosts first of the stanza. Ballard forced 10 Floyd turnovers in the second quarter and led by 15 at intermission.
"We wanted to win the first four minutes of the third quarter to get it back down to eight or nine but we turned the ball over right off the bat and that didn't help us," Hamsley said. "I thought they just did a nice job of exploiting us with the big kid [Terra Banks] inside. She played well and really hard. When they need a bucket they can go right to their big kids and get one. We're not going to see anyone quite that big and strong again this year."
The Highlanders came out of the locker room and shot just 1-of-8 in the third, compared to Ballard's 9-of-11. Seven Bruins found the scoring column in the decisive period and the visitors led 61-33 entering the final eight minutes.
"It's hard to practice against the kind of pressure they can put on you," Hamsley said. "They exploited some things we need to do better like blocking out and handling pressure."
Floyd did not go down without a fight and put forth an impressive fourth quarter effort, but it was simply too little, too late. The Highlanders turned up the pressure in the fourth by holding Ballard to 3 of 14 shooting and forcing eight turnovers.
"We won the second half by two and our free throws were good tonight," said Hamsley, whose team hit 24 of 28 from the stripe. "Things were a little different in the second half but he had his main clientelle in there for the most part and we did some better things in the second half."
Floyd was paced by Brooke Hinton's game high 19. Madison Kaiser, who tallied 35 points in the two Thursday games, was held to just five.
"She struggled tonight," Hamsley said of Kaiser. Their athletic ability made her play too fast. She just needed to slow down out there. She's just a sophomore and she does so many good things for us — she just had a tough night. I thought she played hard but she just tried to do too much."
Floyd is back in action Jan. 3 at Meade County (Ky).

Phoenix Sports Writer
Josh Giem said he called his friend Tanner Sheets to talk about the situation at Sequoyah High School on Tuesday after news leaked about eight players being ruled ineligible and head coach Brent Scott suspended by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association.
Giem is a senior linebacker for Hilldale and Sheets is a senior lineman for Sequoyah. The two have been friends since meeting at track meets last spring. Hilldale and Sequoyah are playing Friday at Hilldale for the District 3A-7 championship.
"He's mad about not getting to play," Giem said.
Sheets confirmed he talked to Giem.
"He asked me what was going on and what the deal was. I told him everything," Sheets said, confirming that he was among those ineligible.
Trandon Boylan, a Hilldale senior offensive lineman, said he was in the room during the conversation between Giem and Sheets.
"I would hate not to get to play for the district championship in my senior year," Boylan said.
The action taken against the players and Scott stems from the violation of an OSSAA summer camp participation rule. The rule states that athletes are not allowed to participate in individual camps where players' expenses are paid for by the "school, by school personnel or by any booster group or organization associated with the school, or by any non-family member."
A story in Wednesday's edition of the Phoenix identified seven of eight players suspended. The list, obtained from unnamed sources by the Tahlequah Daily Press, did not include Sheets. The Phoenix has since learned that defensive end Jordan Colburn and offensive guard Ty West, who were mentioned, are not among those suspended.
Those who are suspended are considered among the team's top players.
"We're just going with the flow right now," Sheets said.
Ed Sheakley, executive director of the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association, said his office received identification of the players involved on Wednesday but did not identify them. Sequoyah has not officially released those names.
"We've asked Sequoyah to investigate all of their athletic programs and see if students attended any camps, that they're in compliance with the rules," Sheakley said.
Amid unconfirmed reports that an injunction hearing was being set for 1 p.m. today in Cherokee County, Sheakley said he has not heard of any injunction being filed to allow the players to play. An appeal of the OSSAA's decision will be heard Nov. 7 at the OSSAA's monthly board of directors meeting in Oklahoma City. But unless an emergency hearing is scheduled, the ruling will also cover Sequoyah's final regular season game against Lincoln Christian.
Meanwhile, Sequoyah practices continue. Shane Richardson, the current defensive coordinator, is the acting head coach, Sequoyah athletic director Marcus Crittenden said in a text message.
Randon Lowe, former Muskogee High offensive coordinator, has that same position at Sequoyah.
Regardless of who is or who isn't playing — or coaching — doesn't matter to the Hilldale players, who can clinch the district and gain homefield advantage in the first and quarterfinal rounds of the playoffs with a win.
"That situation doesn't concern us," Giem said. "I'm more worried about us being ready to play."
Meanwhile, it's business as usual at Hilldale.
"We're going to prepare like those guys are playing," coach Chad Kirkhart said. "Whoever shows up Friday night, we're going to play."

Anyone Ever Been On "COPS"?
As of the time of this post, we have 1,118 active members on here. I watch COPS re-runs a lot just for amusement. Just wondering if anyone on here has ever appeared on that show, America's Most Wanted, or anything else. Not me. Closest thing to famous I ever got was when I spilled a beer on John Elway at Panama Red's in Denver. He wasn't happy.
hhhhmmmm are you talking about as a cop or as one of the drunk red necks?? Just kidding, Ive never been on cops but Americas Wildest Police chases took some of our chases and aired them. In one you can here me on the radio and another you see me run in front of the dash cam as I run after the guy who jump and ran after crashing his car.

That counts. Now I can honestly say I know someone famous.
I used to work with a Pittsburgh K9 that used to be on the old COPs episodes.
There was a show on TLC called Sh!t, I forgot the name. Something similar to cops but with Medics. They filmed in Pittsburgh and I was there for a epsiode but I never saw it. Some downtown drunk...

My trailer park was featured on a few episodes of COPS. Me and my sister's cousin, that'd be my uncle's sister in-law through marriage, were part of a DOH-mestic DIS-pute; but ain't married no more. She done slept with uncle Earl which caused the whole ruckus to begin with. See Earl was a hootin' and a hollerin' cause I busted him in the jaw for fornicatin' with my girl. I know he done knew better cause I won her in arm wrestling fair and square. So Earl was arrested for the warrant he had for FTA on a DUI, and for stealin that there pick up truck. I done ran off before the law got there, but I seen it on COPS later on. Well anyhow, my ol' lady done run off with fscf3801 along with my 15 kids, and my 4 dogs. I sure miss my dogs.
Really though... I don't know anyone who has been on COPS, but there is a show coming on July 13 on A&E featuring a guy I know. It is supposed air following Dallas SWAT. He is teaching a SWAT / advanced police tactics class and it shows the class throughout the training and battling with their limitations and coming together as a team. I've seen a pilot and it looks pretty good. It is called Commander Castle.

Call to abolish 'nonsensical' rates hampering Otley businesses
7:00am Friday 9th November 2012 in Local news By Jim Jack, Reporter
An Otley business leader has joined the town's MP in condemning "nonsensical" rates that are hampering the local economy.
The case of Wharfebank Business Centre was cited in Parliament last week as an example of how forcing companies to pay full rates on empty properties can hold back growth.
Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) said current rules were "anti-growth" and drained resources, leaving companies like Wharfebank unable to renovate or modify their buildings to attract more tenants.
Now Ronnie Duncan, chairman of Wharfebank's owners William Ackroyd (Holdings) Ltd, is calling on the Government to overhaul empty business property rates – or scrap them altogether.
He said: "The Government must look again at the current rules.
"To charge full rates on property that's unlettable in the current economic climate is not just unfair, it damages the very core of our business, which is to regenerate our historic mill buildings to provide modernised – and sustainable – office space.
The rules need to be more flexible with exemptions to stop penalising responsible businessesGreg Mulholland MP
"The drain of empty rate taxation not only hampers growth but threatens essential maintenance. If empty rates can't be abolished, then at least extend the exemption period.
"In the current economic climate, three months to re-let an office is just too short. No sooner have you spent money on renovating or adapting than you are hit with the cost of full rates on a property from which you may not have any income for the best part of the year."
Mr Mulholland, pictured right, is calling for a Parliamentary debate on the issue. He said: "The current rules can, in some situations, be unfair and counterproductive, at a time when we need to be encouraging business to drive economic growth.
"Wharfebank, which offers wonder-ful business space in the former Otley Mills, is forced to pay full rates on its properties, even when it has no tenants and is actively seeking them.
"The rules need to be more flexible with exemptions to stop penalising responsible businesses, and these should include the renovation and maintenance of heritage premises, like Otley Mills, which are so much more costly."

Google Android and the Dream Phone
Google's software for mobile communication, Android, is scheduled for release in November along with the Dream ''GPhone."
News about the software is based on official announcements on the developer's platform, and speculation about the hardware is based on test results published by the American testing body, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The mobile platform Engadget first called attention to the simultaneous timing of the software and hardware releases when the company discovered that the mobile telephone ''DREA100,'' from Korean manufacturer HTC, had been granted permission to sell in the U.S. after being tested by the FCC.
The Google handset, which the media nicknamed the GPhone, should reach American stores by November 10, just in time for the holiday rush.
Ironically, a secrecy clause in the FCC document drew attention to the product in the first place. The FCC should have kept the information under wraps until the release. Documents published by the FCC include construction plans that show a so-called "jogball" as the main operating device, similar to the Blackberry.
The German telephone giant T-Mobile, currently the fourth largest telecommunications provider in the American market, is partnered with HTC and Google.
Software intended for the handset has been released by the Google developers as a Beta version, Number 0.9 SDK, and the final version 1.0 is planned for the last quarter of this year.
Dan Morrill, one of the developers, lists some of the more important changes and additions on his blog. "First and most obviously, the new Home screen is included, along with a ton of UI changes for 1.0. Some new applications are included: an Alarm Clock, Calculator, Camera, Music player, Picture viewer, and Messaging (for SMS/MMS conversations.) Several new development tools were added, such as a graphical preview for XML layouts for users of Eclipse, and a tool for constructing 9-patch images," he writes.
A comprehensive list of changes and additions and the free software are available on the Android Developer website.

Woods 42 mower
Last year when I removed and disassembled the belly mower from the Cub, I failed to take detailed photos of the mower because I had a copy of the owners manual among my father's papers. Only just this week, as I started to reinstall the mower did I realize that the manual is not for the same model as the one that I have. My manual is for the 42C-6, but the decals on my mower deck just say Woods 42. Although most of the instructions and illustrations apply to my mower, there are some differences. For instance, the arms (called push channel assembly) on the 42C which connect the mower deck to the mule drive are shown as bolted onto the deck. On my mower, those arms were welded to the mower deck. I was trying to see if in the manuals section there is a manual specific to the model of my Woods mower, but that seems to be inaccessable, due to the recent storm. Is there some way to determine which specific model I have? I basically think that I can reassemble the mower with the instructions that I have, but I would prefer to have a parts listing which is correct for my mower. I am actually missing a couple of small spacers (think fat washers) used in the assembly of the arms. The spacers are nominally 1" OD, 5/8" ID, 7/16" wide. When I took the mower off, one spacer was missing, and the other broke into pieces upon removal. Does anyone know of a source for such spacers?
Since retirement, the things I miss most are the holidays!
Re: Woods 42 mower
Most parts are still available from woods, here is a link to parts manuals,The Cub sites manual server is down from the storm,if you contact woods they will email a copy of what you need for free
Re: Woods 42 mower
The parts I think you are missing are more like a flanged bushing. On the 42C4, the bushing was a Woods part number 484 and used a 5/8 bolt flats and locks.
Our 42C came to us with the tractor in 1969 has the flanged bushing. Would you like a photo and measurements?
Re: Woods 42 mower
Thiggy, does it look like this?
If it does, here is a manual that might help.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: Woods 42 mower
Thanks to tst's referral I was able to order the bushings. ntrenn, the manual that I have for the C-6 looks like the mounting arms may have flanged bushings, but that does not seem to be what I need with mine (which I assume is earlier than the C-6. I would like to know how to determine which my model is.

Long fight for Extended Stay
Looks like investors bidding for bankruptcy hotel chain Extended Stay will need a late checkout. Its owners appear to be back to favoring a bid by Centerbridge Partners and Paulson & Co that just got sweeter.
The investors increased their bid for the chain, topping a rival offer led by the Starwood Group, which unseated them in the first place.
But the group's latest offer may not be the last word on the future of the bankrupt company. A source told Reuters the situation could change again, as an auction for the hotel chain will be held in May.
Extended Stay was bought in June 2007 by an investor group led by David Lichtenstein's Lightstone Group. It sought bankruptcy protection last year with a debt load of more than $7 billion.
In February, Centerbridge and Paulson agreed to invest up to $450 million in the company once it exits Chapter 11. But it was topped last month by the Starwood-led group, which agreed to invest up to $905 million to bring it out of bankruptcy protection.
Will Starwood check out, or extend its stay?

CableCARD™ decoders
- About the size of a credit card, a CableCARD is a plug-in card that is inserted into a slot in your TiVo box so you can receive digital cable channels. CableCARDs are supplied by your cable company and enable your TiVo box to unscramble your cable company's encrypted signal. Once inserted and activated, a CableCARD communicates with your local cable system and delivers all the high-definition and digital cable channels included in your cable TV subscription package.
- If you do not insert a CableCARD decoder into your TiVo box:
TiVo Premiere (500GB): will still receive antenna and standard definition analog cable channels. It will also receive broadband content, as long your TiVo box is connected to the Internet through your home network.
TiVo Premiere 4 or XL4: will receive broadband content, as long your TiVo box is connected to the Internet through your home network.
- See the CableCARD overview
In order to access all of your high-definition and digital cable channels, a multi-stream CableCARD decoder(s) must be inserted into the CableCARD slot on your TiVo DVR. For Roamio, the CableCARD connector can be accessed under the unit.
You must call your cable company to schedule the installation of a CableCARD decoder. Some cable providers allow their customers to pick up their CableCARD at the cable company's local service center and install it on their own. While some cable companies offer CableCARDs to their subscribers for free, others may charge a nominal monthly fee. Contact your cable provider for details.
Federal law mandates that all major cable companies provide CableCARDs to their digital cable subscribers, so if you experience any problems call our Technical Support team at 1-877-367-8486 and we will initiate a three-way call with your cable company to expedite setup.
Cost will depend on the cable operator. Some cable operators offer them free of charge, while others may charge a nominal amount per-month fee to rent.
All major cable companies are federally mandated to support CableCARD decoders. Many cable companies also offer a "self-install" option — you can visit their retail location, pick up a cable card, and install it yourself.
You will need to call your cable company and request one Multi-stream CableCARD decoder (M-Card). Many cable companies require that a technician come to your home to install the card, but some allow subscribers to install the cards themselves. Call your cable company and inquire about their CableCARD installation policy.

Tips for installing a CableCARD into your TiVo DVR
Federal law mandates that all major cable companies provide CableCARDs to their digital cable subscribers, so if you experience any problems call our Technical Support team at 1-877-367-8486 and we will perform a three-way call with your cable company to expedite delivery.
You may use a CableCARD from an earlier generation TiVo box, but it must be a Multi-stream CableCARD (M-Card). Single-stream cards are not supported by TiVo Premiere boxes. Simply move the Multi-stream CableCARD from your old TiVo box to your new TiVo box and follow the instructions on the installation menus that automatically appear on your TV screen.
When going through Guided Setup you can choose to install a CableCARD at that time or to install at a later date. If you don't have your CableCARD yet, choose 'install at a later date' and finish Guided Setup without the CableCARD. You'll be able to watch all of your analog cable channels (TiVo Premiere 500GB only), but you'll need to get the CableCARD to view any digital channels.
If your cable provider requires that they install the card, set up the TiVo box a day or two before your installation appointment. This will allow your TiVo DVR to connect to the TiVo Service and download any software updates that are available.
To help your cable technician with installing your CableCARD decoder, please download and print the following instructions:
TiVo DVR instructions for CableCARD installers
Once you have the card, simply insert it into the CableCARD slot on your TiVo box and the menus to configure the card will automatically display; there's no need to run Guided Setup again.
You must call your cable company to activate your card. Your cable company may refer to the activation process as "pairing" the CableCARD or "binding" the CableCARD.
All of the information they'll need is located on the gray and black CableCARD MMI screen, which appears after you've inserted the CableCARD. This gray and black screen lists the phone number you'll need to call to activate the card. Typically they'll ask for the serial number (Card S/N), the Host ID, and sometimes the 'Data' identifier.
If you subscribe to multiple tiers of cable service, check a few channels in each tier before getting off the phone to ensure the correct cable packages have been enabled (HBO, for example).
The time required for your CableCARD to become active can vary depending on your cable provider, but it typically becomes activated within a few hours. After the card is successfully activated, you can begin watching your digital channels (analog for TP500). A full program guide for the upcoming weeks will be downloaded within 24 hours, or you can connect to the TiVo service in Messages & Settings and perform a manual update to download the latest programming information for your complete channel lineup.

An audit of the Hamilton County Sheriff's department is recommending three issues be addressed. They include: staffing, technology and training.
The report concludes department staff are highly disciplined and resilient but also static and resistant to change. It says the agency, under former Sheriff Simon Leis, became "frozen in time" which prevents it from adopting more modern procedures and practices.

---- — ST. PETER — A St. Peter High School science teacher, who has worked at the school for two decades, has been charged with malicious punishment of a child and assault for allegedly throwing a backpack at a student's head during a class.
The incident was reported to a St. Peter police officer Sept. 27, a day after it allegedly occurred in Robert Shoemaker's ecology class. The criminal complaint filed in Nicollet County District Court does not say who reported the incident.
Officer Thomas Winsell was told a student identified as K.M.B. in the complaint was watching a slide show with other students in Shoemaker's class when the alleged assault occurred. The student, who was 17 at the time but recently had a birthday, said he wasn't feeling well and was tired, so he put his head down on his desk.
Shoemaker, 53, had been talking during the slideshow but stopped talking after the student put his head down, the complaint said. The student reported he heard Shoemaker walk toward him before he was hit on the head with the backpack. Staff at the high school weighed the backpack after the incident and determined it weighed 11 pounds when it was thrown at the student's head, the complaint said.
When the student lifted his head, Shoemaker was "in his face" and yelling at him, he reported. Shoemaker then asked the student if he was a leader on the football team and a leader on the wrestling team. When the student said he was, Shoemaker told him he should be a leader in the classroom as well, according to the complaint.
Shoemaker also asked the student to stay after class to talk to him. During that discussion, Shoemaker told him he had a temper and apologized for throwing a backpack at him, the student reported.
Winsell also interviewed at least four other students in the class, including one who said the victim told him he wasn't feeling well before class. That student also told Winsell he was scared after Shoemaker threw the backpack and started yelling at the victim about being a leader. The other three witnesses also told the officer they saw Shoemaker throw the backpack at the victim's head, the complaint said.
The victim went to the hospital emergency room in St. Peter because he had a headache and a fever. He was treated for a bruised neck and released.
Shoemaker has been a teacher in St. Peter since 1993. Jeff Olson, St. Peter Public Schools superintendent, said Shoemaker's file was still being reviewed, but he didn't remember any past complaints against Shoemaker that resulted in disciplinary action. Olson said there is an ongoing investigation into a current complaint against Shoemaker.
Olson said an attorney has advised him state law prohibits him from commenting about whether Shoemaker has been placed on paid or unpaid administrative leave as a result of the allegations. Olson did say that Shoemaker, who The Free Press spoke to at his home Thursday morning, was on the school's payroll.
During the 2004-2005 school year Shoemaker received the science teacher of the year award from the Minnesota Science Teachers Association. Shoemaker received a master's degree in biology from Bemidji State University and also teaches education classes at Gustavus Adolphus College, according to his biography on the St. Peter High School website.
The criminal complaint was brought to District Court on Oct. 24 by Nicollet County Attorney Michelle Zehnder Fischer, but it wasn't signed by a judge until Oct. 30. Both Nicollet County judges, Allison Krehbiel and Todd Westphal, refused to take the case due to conflicts of interest.
Krehbiel said Shoemaker is a "personal friend" and a teacher for her children. Westphal also said he couldn't take the case because he has a child who attends St. Peter High School and has contact with Shoemaker and his associates.
The case was accepted by District Court Judge Robert Docherty in Brown County. Shoemaker is scheduled to make his first court appearance for a gross misdemeanor charge of malicious punishment of a child and a misdemeanor charge of fifth-degree assault Nov. 19.
Shoemaker declined to comment for this story and referred questions to his attorney, Sarah Macgillis. She did not return phone calls to her office in Minneapolis.

Message from the Master
The Worshipful Company of Bowyers can trace its detailed history back to 1363 when the craft of making longbows first appeared on the list of taxation for the City of London. Prior to that the first bowyer to be recorded is that of Ivo le Bowyre in 1293.
During the hundred years war and the great victories at Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt, when the longbow was at its zenith, the Company enjoyed unparalleled success supplying the medieval archer with the tools of his trade.
Today the Bowyers' Company prides itself with being involved in many charitable and educational activities and upholding the traditions of the City of London by supporting the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs and the Corporation of London in promoting the City in a modern day environment.
I trust you will find our web site interesting and informative and if you would like to know more about us please feel free to contact the Clerk.

North Jefferson News
CORNER — Carbon Hill advanced to 5-1 in Class 4A Area 8 play, after downing a lackluster Corner team 50-39.
An eager was quickly silenced by the play of their Jackets, who misfired on all seven shots taken in the opening quarter to bury themselves in a 11-0 hole early.
"We just didn't play, we didn't play at all tonight," said a frustrated Corner coach Billy Conner.
Brandon Smith led the Bulldogs with a solid 7-point first quarter. He finished with 21 points for the game.
Corner did pick their game up in the second period, and claimed a 16-15 advantage at the half.
"I just asked them to play with a little pride — it's embarrassing when you don't score in the first quarter," said Conner.
The Jackets would be haunted by unenthusiastic play throughout the second half as well. As a result, Carbon Hill quickly reclaimed the lead, padded it and stretched their lead in the final quarter.
Austin Sanford, who earlier in the week recorded a 37-point performance against Curry, struggled early in Friday's contest. His presence was barely known through the first quarter, as he took only one shot, recorded no rebounds and failed to score.
"[Sanford] was lazy at the beginning of the game," said Conner. "He did start picking it up later on, but they did a good job of defending us."
Sanford, like the rest of the team, took the floor for the second period with a bit more fire. He came to life and fueled Corner's second quarter comeback. Sanford ended the game with 21 points and four rebounds.
But offense was hard to come by for the Jackets. Senior Blake Byrd went 2-for-6 from behind the arc while finishing with eight points and six boards. As a team, Corner found success on only three of their 11 attempts from 3-point land (27 percent).
The biggest positive for the Jackets was their free throw shooting. They connected on more foul shots than Carbon Hill attempted. Corner shot 67 percent from the stripe (12-of-18) while the Bulldogs made only four of their 11 opportunities.
The Jackets face Fultondale in Tuesday's first round of the Jefferson County Schools Tournament small-school division at Hueytown.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 2009 – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the appointment of two members to the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board.
Newly appointed are Christopher S. Ross, Beverly, Mass. (Region 2) and Michael A. Bell, San Antonio, Texas (Region 8). They will serve terms beginning immediately and expiring June 30, 2011. Both will be seated at the board meeting Jan. 15-17, 2010.
The National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board is composed of 15 fluid milk processors from 15 geographic regions and five at-large members. At least three at-large members must be fluid milk processors and at least one must be from the general public. The board was established by the Fluid Milk Promotion Act of 1990 to develop and administer a coordinated program of advertising and promotion to increase the demand for fluid milk products.
The national fluid milk program is financed by a mandatory 20-cent per hundredweight assessment on all fluid milk processed and marketed commercially in consumer-type packages in the contiguous 48 states and the District of Columbia. Processors who commercially process and market 3 million pounds or less per month, excluding those fluid milk products delivered to the residence of a consumer, are exempt from assessments.
USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service monitors the operations of the board. It is USDA's policy that membership on industry-governed boards and committees accurately reflect the diversity of individuals served by the program.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272(voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

Mineral Wells Index
By CHRIS AGEE
Local authorities say a vehicle was abandoned at the scene of a crash early Saturday morning in Palo Pinto County.
Department of Public Safety Trooper Gary Rozzell said the 2007 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck was discovered around 2 a.m. Saturday on Turkey Creek Road, just south of Pruitt Lane.
Rozzell said investigators determined the driver was traveling north and exited the roadway in a left-hand curve, striking several trees.
The vehicle is registered to Shiloah Boswell of Mineral Wells, Rozzell said, noting troopers continued to investigate the incident as of Tuesday afternoon.
The driver involved in another weekend crash told authorities he fell asleep before running off U.S. Highway 180 East early Saturday.
According to Rozzell, David Keith Ballard, 44, was driving his 2006 Ford F250 pickup truck in an eastbound lane of the highway about one-half mile east of Pleasant Valley Road.
He said Ballard drove off the roadway to the south and struck several trees before coming to rest facing east against a tree in the bar ditch.
The driver was not transported, Rozzell said.
In a third weekend crash, Rozzell said troopers responded to a one-vehicle rollover around 3:25 p.m. Friday on U.S. Highway 281, just south of Farm-to-Market Road 1195.
He said Christopher James Thompson, 27, was driving a 1992 Ford Explorer southbound on the highway and approached a truck trailer from the rear.
Reports indicate Thompson engaged the vehicle's brakes, causing it to skid and roll onto its roof, coming to a rest facing north.
Rozzell said neither the driver nor passenger, Margrett Ann Thompson, 54, were transported to a hospital from the scene.

ROBINSON – After the worst pair of games of his summer, Kyle Bray needed a break.
