The Tennessee Titans have agreed to terms with defensive end Kamerion Wimbley on a multi-year deal, wasting little time after being rejected by Peyton Manning. Terms of Tuesday's deal were not announced.||||||| General manager Ruston Webster said in a statement he liked Wimbley coming out of Florida State as a defensive end in a 4-3 defense, a role Wimbley will play for the Titans. The 6-foot-4 Wimbley has 42.5 career sacks. The 13th pick overall in 2006 had 11 sacks as a rookie in Cleveland. He had 16 sacks in 32 games as a linebacker in Oakland the past two seasons before being released last week.
The Oakland Raiders have told linebacker Kamerion Wimbley they will release him one year into a $48 million, five-year deal. Agent Joe Linta said in an email Friday that he was unable to work out a new contract with general manager Reggie McKenzie so the Raiders decided to cut Wimbley instead.||||||| Oakland gave Wimbley the big contract last summer. He got paid $5 million in 2011 and is still guaranteed an additional $6.5 million from the Raiders. The team would have been on the hook for $4.5 million more in 2012 if Wimbley was on the roster Saturday, as well as an additional $13 million in guaranteed money for the rest of the deal. Wimbley had seven sacks, 21.5 quarterback knockdowns and 9.5 hurries last season, according to STATS LLC.
The Oakland Raiders have agreed to a five-year, $48 million contract with Wimbley.||||||| Wimbley had been set to play for the $11.3 million franchise tag tender before agreeing to the long-term deal Monday. Wimbley will be guaranteed $29 million in the deal, while the Raiders get additional room under the salary cap.
The Oakland Raiders have used the franchise tag to keep Wimbley under contract for 2012||||||| The Raiders originally hoped to use a $3.5 million buyback option to keep Wimbley under contract for next season. But Linta says that deal violated the NFL's rules prohibiting base salaries rising more than 30 percent in a year. That led to the Raiders decision to use the franchise tag, which is projected to be worth about $10 million. Linta says Wimbley is open to negotiating a long-term deal to stay in Oakland.
Wimbley is making sure his addition in a trade from Cleveland isn't overlooked.||||||| Wimbley had four sacks in the first half of last week's exhibition win at Chicago, overwhelming Bears starting left tackle Chris Williams with speed and moves the Raiders haven't had since Derrick Burgess' Pro Bowl years in 2005-06.

Results for USAC Ranking system
I'd like to ask all promoters who plan on sending results into USAC for the national Results and Ranking program to send me their results file before sending it into USAC. Since I have more complete access to the full USAC database and I can often get license information for riders that isn't available in the database file promoters can download from USAC. Also I can make sure the results are properly formatted and has the right category Info so that the results can be used in the ranking system. If we are going to send in the results to USAC the least we can do is make sure our riders are getting the proper credit for their results. PLus if I upload the results for you then I get to deal with the name and License typos that have to be corrected before the USAC system will accept the results.
Also riders please make sure that you use the exact same name when you register for a race as what's on your license. It causes problems if your license has your name as James Smith and you use Jim Smith on your race entry form. The USAC computer isn't smart enough to know that James Smith and Jim Smith are the same person. Same goes for Robert vs Bob, Bill vs William etc. If you have a profile set up with an online Reg company please make sure your profile Info matches what your USAC license is in terms of name used and club and category.
Please note I can't change the results in terms of you think you should have been placed in 10th and the results have you listed as 20th. In most cases once everyone has left the race site the results are locked and don't get changed. In a few rare exceptions if full results were not published at the race site on race day some changes might be able to be made but these changes have to be authorized by the Chief Judge who worked the race and depends on the Chief Judge having the Info to show there was a mistake. Also note that at road races it may take a couple of hours for the full results to be published. In these cases you should either be prepared to wait till the results are published to verify your results. If you can't wait then make sure you have a teammate or friend check your results for you. If the results published online don't match with what was published at the race site then the Chief Judge should be consulted to see if there was a late change to the results or if there was a transcription error. If there was a transcription error then those errors can be fixed after the fact.

RALEIGH — Rebecca Vazquez said the tree that flattened her kitchen was a not-so-subtle eviction notice.
Vazquez, 47, has lived for more than a year in a well-established homeless camp in South Raleigh in a 25-acre stand of trees owned by First Citizens Bank.
At the end of October, the bank hired a forestry contractor to thin out the woods across the street from the bank's South Raleigh data center, representatives of the bank said. The contractor cut two trails into the woods that stopped right at two of the four camps on the land. Then the contractor cut down trees that fell on the camp, tearing the tarp off Vazquez's kitchen and knocking down the wall of an improvised shack where her camp-mate lived.
"It's not construction, it's destruction," Vazquez said.
A spokeswoman for First Citizens Bank acknowledged that the bank wanted the homeless camps gone but said the contractors were not targeting the camps.
"We have to get equipment into that property," Barbara Thompson said.
For homeless settlements, the camps were on the high end. Vazquez, at first glance, defies homeless stereotypes.
She's neatly dressed and well groomed. Her campsite, which she shares with another camper, is neat and clean with amenities that include a drip shower and limited electricity from car batteries.
Some of the other structures in the camp include small cabins built of scrap wood. Neighboring campsites are neat and well maintained with little clutter.
They're established, comfortable and clean.
Vazquez said most of the residents aren't heavy drinkers and keep as much as they can to themselves.
Even with the low profile, First Citizens wants them gone.
Thompson said First Citizens had tried to evict the squatters with no luck.
Nearby businesses have complained, one person was stabbed in the camp and there has been at least one fire.
The bank has posted no trespassing signs in an effort to vacate the property.
"It's a safety issue," Thompson said. "It's something we're very concerned about."
Vazquez thinks the bank is being aggressive in its efforts to evict the squatters.
"Those trails come straight to the camps and stop," she said.
Since 2004, Raleigh police have had an established procedure to remove homeless encampments. Owners usually ask police in writing to help them evict residents of the camps. Police coordinate with counselors and give agreeable homeless people a day or two to pack up. The rowdy ones may get arrested.
The police haven't been to this camp, according to Alice McGee of Church of the Woods, a homeless advocacy group. McGee is looking for a place for Vazquez and the other camp residents to stay.
As of Tuesday, Vazquez had not heard from the bank or the police.
McGee said there are about 120 encampments in Wake County with residents trespassing on private land. When the property owners discover them, McGee coordinates with police and other services to find new homes for the evicted.
As the county is developed, she said, it's harder to find places where people can set up camps.
More than 3,000 people are thought to be homeless in Wake County, though as many as five times that number are considered at risk -- doubled up with family or sleeping on the couches of friends.
Though Wake County's homeless population is smaller than in 2001 and 2002, county planners have identified homelessness as a serious problem. In 2005, Raleigh officials began a 10-year effort to "effectively end homelessness" by attacking such problems as substance abuse, mental illness and domestic violence.
McGee has tried, with little success, to broker a deal with First Citizens on a schedule for vacating the property.
For Vazquez, it might not be a problem much longer. Since the trails were cut, she has landed a job; she hopes to find her own place by the end of next month.
"She might get a home for Christmas," McGee said.

I still find it amazing that I have been married one year and nine months. (I have always been a late bloomer! - My wife and I met sixteen years ago.) At that time, I was one of two Associate Ministers of a 1550 member church in West Houston. My duties in the church were to be the Minister of Evangelism, Youth, Pastoral Care and Singles. It was through the Evangelism program that I first met Sandra. I organized teams of people to go out on Tuesday nights to visit the folks who had attended one of the Sunday Worship Services. Sandra was one of those people I visited.
Most of the time, United Methodist Ministers are appointed to serve in churches. But at that time, the Senior Minister was given the right to hire Associates to serve with him. I interviewed in February but after some prayer declined the offer to go to the church. Three months later, after an acute glaucoma attack, Doctors recommended that I move to Houston. I found myself calling the Pastor to see if the job was still open. During the most painful time in my life, I had to be driven to the interview, because I was on pain killers. I interviewed again and accepted the position. It proved to be one of my most difficult assignments of my ministry. The staff was difficult to work with, the church was in constant turmoil and I was busy with more work than one man could do for six long years and 8 eye surgeries.
Today, I look back at that time differently because it was there, that I met the woman who became my wife. My purpose and God's purpose were completely different. The purpose of that appointment was not to accommodate my medical needs but to bring Sandra and I together. She has changed my life. Six months after our wedding we moved to Orange, bringing about a major change in Sandra's life. She left a 19 year position, with a law firm in Houston, and has found a new purpose in her life. She has found her gifts and joy, to be a teacher of high school Spanish. She loves her students and her work. Sandra and I feel blessed to have the work we have. Jesus said in Matthew 6 that your purpose in life should be to love God and to love people. When you can do that in your career and life, you find it all a joy.

Nine members of a pro firearm group recently walked through downtown Kent, handguns on their hips, to promote Ohio's open carry gun law.
The group, called NEO Carry, held a similar walk in downtown Akron. During the walks, members simply stroll through populated urban areas handing out fliers about the group and state gun laws.
Brett Pucillo, a Kent native who now teaches in the Youngstown City School district, is a co-founder of the group. Pucillo is the man carrying the camera whose voice you can hear on the video.
Pucillo said the group's goal is to promote education, and they plan to offer classes ranging from gun safety to the basics of shootings taught by instructors certified by the National Rifle Assocation.
"One of the biggest questions we get is 'Why do you do this?' ... I refer to a quote from the NRA: 'A right is like a muscle; if you don't exercise it, you will lose it,'" Pucillo said in an email.
The Kent walk was originally scheduled for Dec. 16, just two days after the deadly shootings at an elementary school in Newtown, CT. NEO Carry rescheduled the walk to Dec. 23, 2012, at the recommendation of Kent City Councilman Garret Ferrara.
The video shows the group, which notified the Kent Police Department in advance of the event, meeting near Buffalo Wild Wings and then walking past businesses on Franklin Avenue, Main and Water streets.
Kent Safety Director William Lillich circulated information among downtown business groups prior to the demonstration to inform business owners of the potential for members of NEO Carry to walk into their stores while carrying handguns.
"The police department has no reason to feel that this organization presents any threat to the community," Lillich wrote in the advisory to business groups.
Ohio law does not regulate or prohibit residents from openly carrying firearms. Though private property owners or tenants can post notices prohibiting firearms on their premises, as many Kent businesses do.
Pucillo said that most people were distracted by holiday shopping and paid little attention to the group as it walked through downtown last month.
"Many people did not notice that we were even carrying our firearms," he said. "We passed out over 50 fliers, and the majority of people did agree to take a flier, although fewer people were willing to stop and discuss our group than in Akron. Some people were surprised to learn that open carry was legal, but hardly anyone seemed to mind."
Kent Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lori Wemhoff said she heard from a few business owners who were grateful to receive advance notice of the event, but she didn't hear any complaints afterward.
"I never heard a thing about it," she said.
Click on this link to see a list of Kent businesses that welcome or prohibit firearms.
NEO Carry, founded in 2012, has 110 members and 125 followers of its Facebook page. The group also maintains a YouTube channel.
Pucillo established the group with his brother in 2012, according to its website, to "promote the second amendment, gun rights, and the legal carry of firearms through public demonstrations, law enforcement partnerships, online resources, firearm training courses, and education."
NEO Carry differs from larger, statewide groups such as the Buckeye Firearms Association because they focus their educational and outreach efforts in local communities, Pucillo said.
"This is not to say that we do not work with other local and state groups," he said. "Buckeye Firearms, Ohio Open Carry, and Ohioans for Concealed Carry all work together in an online presence to promote each other's organizations and spread as much education about responsible gun ownership as possible.
"The northeast Ohio communities that we have interacted with so far have been welcoming of our group," Pucillo said. "We have received the cooperation of both Akron and Kent police departments, and they seemed to appreciate us informing them of our walks beforehand. This saves them from any undo alarm in the case that someone might call the station frightened at having seen a firearm."
NEO Carry plans more walks similar to the one held in Kent in other Northeast Ohio communities but most likely not until after the winter. The group also is working with individuals in southwest and northwest Ohio to establish similar organizations.
When approached by people critical of the group or its actions Pucillo said they try to respond politely to questions or criticism.
"We simply thank them for their time and continue walking," he said. "For those that are inclined to start a conversation on the subject ... We listen to their views and when they are done talking, we try to dispel as many myths as possible and give them proven facts."

DURHAM — As Leslie Holliday watched her son Blair lead the Blue Devils into Wallace Wade Stadium two hours before their game against N.C. Central, she could have cried.
She could have cried because two months ago her son was pulled unconscious from the waters of Lake Tillery after a July 4 accident. He was in a coma after a helicopter took him to UNC Trauma Center. Since then, her son has moved from inpatient to outpatient therapy, relearning how to walk and talk, at the Sheppard Center in Atlanta. The rehabilitation hospital specializes in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord and brain injuries.
But Leslie Holliday didnt cry Saturday because she didnt want to embarrass her son, she said. Instead, she gave him a hug as he walked by in his black suit and purple-checkered tie.
Its exciting, she said. Im so happy.
Blair is so blessed.
Its the first time Leslie, who lives in Sherman Oaks, Calif., had come to a Duke game, and it was a pleasant surprise. Originally, the plan had been for Blair to watch Duke at nearby Georgia Tech on Nov. 17. But Blair changed that.
Hes beat his goals, so were here today, were early, and were excited, she said. He has a long way to go, but we just wanted to share where he is with our family, and thats here at Duke.
The support has gone both ways. Jamison Crowder, who was riding the watercraft that hit Blair, said Leslies support has helped him as well.
When I first came in contact with her after the incident, his parents were real welcoming, they were real warm and gave me great warmth, Crowder said Wednesday when he heard Blair was coming. They didnt try to act like it was my fault. They knew it was an accident, and they were just trying to comfort me.
No words could express what it meant to Leslie to watch Blair walk alongside teammates Conner Vernon and Desmond Scott from Towerview Drive into Wallace Wade Stadium and then out to the middle of the field as an honorary captain for the coin toss. Nothing could.
Not even tears.

The University environment can be exciting and challenging. It also can be highly stressful since you may face academic pressures as well as demands from family, friends, and loved ones at the same time. While we work with students who may be experiencing a crisis, our goal is to help you deal with your concerns before they develop into more serious problems.
Qualified, caring staff
Counseling Center services are performed by psychologists and counselors, counseling interns, and counseling practicum students. All full time staff members are licensed mental health practitioners and services are always performed by those whose skills and training are appropriate to the task.
The Counseling Center is a department within the division of Student Affairs. Our objective is to provide services not just at the Center, but also to the entire ASU community. Center staff members provide lectures and workshops at sites across campus, in the residence halls, and to student organizations. Counselors are also available for consultation to academic departments and other University offices. In addition, staff members frequently teach courses offered through the College of Education and University College.

Westchester County will be administering the Civil Service exam for Police Officer on Nov. 17, but those interested in taking the test must apply by June 26.
Applications and announcements may be picked up in person from the Department of Human Resources, 148 Martine Ave., Suite 100, White Plains, or downloaded from the department's Web section: http://www.westchestergov.com/hr.
The test will be administered at various locations within the county. It is given once every four years, so those who want to be police officers must take the exam now or wait until 2016.
Those who pass the test are put on a list in order of test score. The list is used to hire police officers as positions become open. The Westchester County Department of Public Safety and all local police departments with the exception of Yonkers, White Plains, New Rochelle and Mount Vernon hire from this list.
There is also a separate test for Police Officer/Spanish Speaking. Applicants who are bilingual in Spanish are encouraged to file for both examinations, requiring two separate applications and fees. This language proficiency examination is described in detail on the official announcement for the test. The exam application fee is $50.
Westchester County's Commissioner of Human Resources Kerry Oristano said her staff has visited local colleges and criminal justice programs, as part of its effort to publicize the exam.
Applicants for the police exam must, at the time of the examination, and for at least one month prior to the exam be legal residents of Westchester County; and possess a high school diploma or GED. They may not be over the age of 35 unless they are a veteran of the Armed Forces as defined by New York State law.
Police officer candidates cannot be appointed until they turn 20, but can take the test before then.
For more information, contact the county Department of Human Resources at email@example.com or call 995-2123.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Sunday night's Washington Redskins-Dallas Cowboys NFL matchup drew the network's highest-ever overnight rating for a primetime regular-season game, NBC Sports /quotes/zigman/89307/delayed/quotes/nls/cmcsa CMCSA -0.67% said Monday. The contest, a 28-18 victory for Washington that determined the final playoff spot in the NFC, earned an 18.3 rating and 30 share in the 56 largest U.S. markets, according to preliminary Nielsen data. NBC's broadcast got the best overnight rating for a regular-season primetime game on any network since a 1997 Denver-San Francisco matchup on "ABC's Monday Night Football." The game drew a 44.6 rating and 68 share in the Washington D.C. market, the highest primetime rating in that area since Nielsen began using People Meters in 1987. "Sunday Night Football" is the No. 1 television show in primetime during 2012-13, and one of the main reasons for NBC's success in the first half of the season.

text: Members of the McAlester Swish AAU/MAYB boys 14-up traveling team proudly display the medals they received on June 9 in Owasso. After assembling a team from 5 local area schools, Coach P.J. Parker's determination began to pay off as the boys hit the road in the Tulsa area during the months of April, May and June. Unlike most teams the boys face, they haven't played together for years, but they are proof that with enough practice and the right coach, anything is possible. They won second in their first tournament in Tulsa back in April. This was followed by going back to Tulsa on May 4-5 and taking first place before even playing their last game of the event. They had won all of their games by a large enough point spread and were the only undefeated team there, and were named champions before playing their final opponents of the weekend. They ended the month of May with a tournament in Owasso on Memorial Day weekend. They returned to Owasso the weekend of June 8-9 to take on some great Tulsa area teams. The boys came in second after falling to the top seed in the tournament by just 6 points, and had beaten the same team the day before by 2 points. The boys practice at least twice a week in the McAlester area. Pictured are the players who showed up for the finals on June 9 in Owasso and are front row from left, Billy Morgan representing Haileyville; Bryson Hale representing Wilburton; Chaseton Bolding representing Savanna, and Tanner Coffee representing McAlester; and back are, Jaylen Irvin, Chase McNutt representing McAlester; Coach P.J. Parker and Zayne Goode representing Stuart. Team members not pictured are, Layne Braswell, Rashard Rushing and Marion Cristwell representing McAlester. The team is going to host a local AAU/MAYB tournament July 19-21 in McAlester. Any team interested in entering should contact Coach Parker at 254-251-8727. This will be the only AAU/MAYB recognized tournament in Southeastern Oklahoma. The entry fee will be $150 per team and is for boys ages 14-up. This should bring some teams that are very exciting to watch to the McAlester area. A special thank you goes out to the following businesses and individuals for helping the boys raise money for uniforms and tournament entry fees, Edwards Law Firm; The Trophy Shop/Ink Its; Cathey and Associates; Harris Auto Sales; Buck Wilson Body Shop; Stuart Farm and Ranch; Roger Davis; Lance Fields; Jack Emerson and LA Ranch. Anyone wishing to help these boys continue entering tournaments may also contact Coach Parker or any player to make donations. They are now in the process of trying to raise money for shooting shirts and to pay for places to practice. Coach Parker has plans of keeping this team together as they travel through their high school years and to continue representing McAlester in tournaments nation-wide.

Fall Fishing
Scott is a fisheries biologist with The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, he says many anglers miss out on one of the best times of the year to fish. "Fall fishing is, to me, one of the best times to fish in West Virginia, although it's probably one of the least fished times because everyone is shooting their bow, getting ready for bow season, it gets bypassed, especially later in the year. We get into September or October, but really as the water cools down, this is some of the best fishing of the year."
It really is nice, it's warm, but not hot, and the water's moving pretty good...but not too fast, and the fish are biting. All it takes is a little patience.
"As the water cool downs, the fish are going to be up on the surface. You're going to be able to fish top water baits, but fishing's still fishing. Some days, like today, it's been a little slower early on, but it's going to be the same. Be prepared with your jigs to fish deep if you need to." says Scott.
The most important thing to remember is to be safe, only fish parts of the river you're familiar with because the rapids can sneak up on you. Just putting forth the time and effort to fall fish is also key.
"The biggest tip is just go fishing. Put your bow down, your gun down and give up a day of hunting to go hit the river. This time of year the water's low, so just be aware of your surroundings. Safety wise, wear your life preservers, things like that, but it's an excellent time to be out fishing." says Scott.
Take it from me, the fishing's great this time of year, and you could wind up with the river to yourself. People pay big bucks to come to WV to do this and you can do it for nothing.

For the past few years, our practice's kennel business has been declining. I recently learned that an employee pet-sits for
clients on the side. The other day a client approached me in an exam room asking if I was the employee who offered pet sitting.
When I told him we board pets at the clinic, he said, "Oh dear, I hope I don't get someone in trouble." In fact, the moonlighting
employee gave him a tour of our kennel just last week. I realize some people want a more personal approach, but the fact that
the pet sitting is a secret going on behind the owner's back bothers me. Help! —Blindsided by boarding
The solution is simple: Bye, bye, employee. In my opinion, this is worse than stealing. This employee is using your practice's
business model to line her own pockets.
It is acceptable for an employee to approach the practice owners with a business plan for a petsitting business for the practice's
clients and offer to share the rewards with the practice. It's the fact that she's doing business behind your back that causes
a myriad of other problems. For example, if other employees know about the business, this puts them in a double-bind—they
may not want to snitch, but they may feel their ethics are compromised.
Next, follow up with a letter to clients apologizing that they've been put in the position of being offered personalized home
care without your knowledge and explaining you're willing to explore offering this service through legitimate channels at
your practice.
Finally, it's important for practice leaders to call a practice meeting to explain why it's unacceptable for employees to
offer a service that feeds off the practice without the owner's permission. Develop a script together for how you'll answer
questions from clients about the ex-employee and the boarding services she offered. As a team, you'll need to focus on rebuilding
the practice's legitimate boarding services. —Shawn

DERRY — A local woodworking business is helping students build a successful school year.
American Pride Woodworking has taken on a challenge to help collect much-needed school supplies for students in the area.
American Pride owner Frank LeBlanc wants to help the community.
His woodworking students, residents at the nearby Granite House transitional living facility on West Broadway, built storage bins that are now located at area businesses and organizations to hold the school supply donations.
Pinkerton Academy woodworking students also contributed their efforts and painted the wooden bins.
LeBlanc said schools got on board and submitted supply lists of things that were needed throughout the school year.
With budget cuts, donating supplies was a good way to help.
"We talked to the schools," LeBlanc said. "They were very interested."
He also enlisted the help of Community Alliance for Teen Safety and its director Sue Centner to help promote the cause in the community.
Helping the community is nothing new to this Derry-based business.
LeBlanc's small woodworking shop on West Broadway offers more than just construction lessons on how to build a box from wood.
Last fall, American Pride Woodworking students also created handcrafted wooden book bins that were donated to children in need in the Concord area.
LeBlanc said he will continue the school supply drive indefinitely and hopes people will stop by the specified locations to donate what they can.
School supply donation bins are located at: Granite State Police Supply, 50 Haverhill Road., Windham; Derry Municipal Center, 14 Manning St., Derry; Rig A' Tony's, 38 West Broadway, Derry; Maine Drilling and Blasting, 88 Gold Ledge Ave., Auburn; Benway Johnston, 35 Crystal Ave., Derry; Community Alliance for Teen Safety, 1 Hood Road, Derry; Church of Transfiguration, 1 Hood Road, Derry; and Brownell Insurance, 5 Nashua Road, Londonderry.
Supplies being collected include pencils, pens, colored pencils, spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, zippered binders, two-pocket folders, 1-inch three-ring binders, 1 1/2-inch three-ring binders and ruled notebook paper.
For additional information call American Pride Woodworking at 489-8918, visit americanpridewoodworking.com/outreach or visit on Facebook.

We Are Knox...
Vincent Singleton '03
Director, Film Collective Productions
Instructor, Chicago Filmmakers Co-op
Psychology Major
Vincent Singleton did a lot in four years at Knox College -- majored in
psychology, played three sports, studied abroad, drew cartoons for
the campus newspaper, worked an internship in law enforcement, led a student club, and got his start in filmmaking.
Not long after graduating from Knox in 2003, Singleton found himself in charge of a team of horses, as well as a team of people who'd never ridden horses before, and, because he was making a film, it all had to look real.
Working on his master's degree in cinema at Columbia College in Chicago, Singleton had decided to make a short film about one of the Buffalo Soldiers -- black regiments, primarily Civil War veterans, who fought in the Indian Wars in the American West from the 1860s through the 1880s.
Singleton's film The Forgotten West, a 15-minute drama about a fictional Buffalo Soldier officer, premiered in February 2006 and appeared on television in May 2007 as part of BETJ's Best Shorts Program. Singleton credits his Knox roots as part of his success.
"Knox was where I learned that my passion was filmmaking," he says.
At Knox, Singleton made videos with fellow students John Dick and Joe Mohan. One was an action short; the other was an hour-long documentary on social dynamics, called What We're Not Doing. He also created a documentary on homelessness in Barcelona, Spain, where he studied through Knox's off-campus program.
"The freedom that I felt to explore all of my interests in a supportive environment was crucial to preparing me for the challenges I've faced so far in my filmmaking and other freelance work," Singleton says.
The Forgotten West was followed by The Porter, a short film about three generations of families and their attitudes toward the legacy of home ownership. The Porter won the Chase Legacy Film Challenge in July 2009, a national competition for emerging filmmakers and sponsored by BlackFilm.com, Kodak, and HBO.
Singleton currently lives in Chicago, where he directs films, commercials, music videos, and documentaries through his company, Film Collective Productions.

Some#one Like You is the second single from Adele's second album '21' (2011) which like her first album '19' (2008) was named to reflect her age. The song was written by Adele and Dan Wilson and two music videos were created. Both music videos were well received by critics due to their simple approach.

Jason Oberholtzer, Contributor
I write about charts, data visualization and all things Internet
Today, The Huffington Post published an article by Amanda M. Fairbanks titled The Lost Generation. As the only person on the Forbes roster who is part of this generation, I suppose it's my duty to weigh in. Apologies if there is anybody under 25 writing for Forbes of whom I am not aware (Shoot me an email; let's listen to rap music, play Pokémon, and troll Chat Roulette, or whatever else we kids do these days…).
I've read a lot about my generation. I've read psychological profiles, sociological musings, journalistic pity pieces, and op-ed piles of condescension. Unfortunately, I haven't read much written about my generation by somebody from my generation that was particularly incisive. Here follows a column that will in no way alter the previous sentence.
The death of Osama Bin Laden marked the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the unnamed decade. Common names are The Two-Thousands, The Ohs, The Naughties, Noughties, Aughties, Oughties, or The Aughts (my preference). Whatever name one prefers, the decade ended without an official culturally embraced title. Pluralistic or noncommittal, it is with names, rather than a name, that the decade will be defined.
Those of us who came of age in the last ten years are saddled with a similar overabundance of titles. First came Generation X. Then came Generation Y/The Millennials/The Net Generation/Generation Next/Echo Boomers, and finally, for those of us who graduated college in the current recession, The Lost Generation. If Generation X was the undefined, the generation that follows is the over-defined.
Another name given to us is the Peter Pan Generation. It is not a particularly flattering sobriquet, meant to reflect the perception that we are having trouble "growing up" in a traditional sense. Some say that this definition is based purely on the economic realities of our time, i.e. the recession has made it hard for this generation to enter the working world with the relative ease of previous generations and has sent us back to our parents' houses, delaying our transition into adulthood. Some take a more sociological approach, explaining the increasing age at which the rites of adulthood are performed as a reaction to the mistakes of the previous generation, e.g. we marry later because so many of us are children of divorce.
There is some merit in both these explanations of how this generation has picked up the Peter Pan label, but they don't mitigate the condescension remaining in the word choice. Embedded is the perception that my generation does not want to grow up, and therefore is childish, churlish, and shirking our responsibility–Peter Pan did not remain attached to his childhood because he had trouble picking up work or because his parents lived in separate houses. Rather, he chose to remain a child, and symbolizes both the idealization of our youth and our fear of adulthood.
I reject any notion that my generation is afraid. However, I think it is fair to suggest that a generally mistrustful view of adulthood has become more common, and for defensible reasons. One can make a case-by-case argument that every institution we have been taught to hold in esteem has, in the last decade, given us ample reason to question their integrity.
The Church (already struggling to connect with progressive youth) is still dealing with the fallout of widespread pedophilia scandals; The Military is stuck in two unpopular wars (to be clear, the general opinion is that this reflects on the leadership and on the institution itself, not on the soldiers) in which a decisive victory seems to be impossible; The Government is viewed with such cynicism that being able to "run as an outsider" is a more important quality than "being literate," –corruption is expected, fidelity is antiquated and politics play out like a gladiatorial event where campaign promises are "moves" and "countermoves" to which no elected official is held accountable; and finally, The Market has been handled so irresponsibly that we now have Amanda M. Fairbanks writing about us as The Lost Generation.
Certainly, these institutions have dealt with crisis before, challenges to their integrity are not new. However, one great injustice has influenced my generation's perception of adulthood and has made it more difficult to have faith in the attendant milestones. We grew up during the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
Now please excuse me while I speak in generalities and on behalf of many.
Osama Bin Laden has actively defined my generation, and the decade in which we have grown up. The attacks on 9/11, of which he was chief architect, welcomed us to the adult world. Most of us watched the television in our classrooms or from our entry-level jobs, young minds consuming the imagery of previously unfathomable devastation, hatred, chaos and loss.
We did what all young people do in a crisis and looked for leadership. We looked to the adults in our lives and asked them to make things okay, to assure us that the world still made sense. We asked for justice. We came together and shouted "U-S-A!" confident that the greatest country in the world would take care of us. Then, things started going wrong, and kept going wrong.
Mr. Oberholtzer,
Although I am not under 25, in age that is, some suspect that my IQ though, I feel obliged to respond. I would note that over-generalizing and under-estimating the young people of any given era is a long standing tradition, one thousands of years old. The original "Lost Generation" were the young people of the 1920′s who were (rightly) highly cynical of society after the horrors of the First World War and the social chaos that followed. It is the same generation that passed through the Great Depression. At the beginning of WW II this generation was considered weak and flabby, physically, morally, and intellectually. Writers at the time thought they were not up to the tasks at hand. Today of course some call them "The Greatest Generation" – although I have never anyone of that generation say so.
So buck up, when your time comes, you too will wonder and despair for a future dependent upon the wild and and callow youth.
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint." Hesiod – c. 700 BC
I read this article and the original huff post one.
I don't know if I count as the 'Lost Generation' but I at 20 and planning graduate next year plans to do another degree are looking seriously hinky as British fees have gone up 300% to £9000
(The average UK wage comes in at around £25k to £27 http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=285)
My total debt for 2 degrees will be splashing around loudly in the £50k ball park.
27 and more debt than years lived, maybe not.
My brother graduated 3 years in the height of the recession and suffered the blow. Although he found full time work. The statistics for American youth hold true for British youths. He had to accept less money, unrelated to his degree and less intellectually challenging.
Politically the Education and Employment departments are a minefield of broken promises, ill thought out policies and angry crowds.
It seems like our generation is suffering from a government and media of iconoclasts. All the last bastions of standards from literacy being paramount in education to policies actually being followed through are slowly being destroyed.
In Britain it is hard to swallow these large fees knowing that the people implementing them went to university for free in the 70s and 80s on the tax payers crisp notes. Now we have over qualified bus drivers and shelf-stackers and an unelected government.
All the recession has shown is that social mobility is stagnating. The idea that going to university and getting a degree secure a good job is now rubbish, chaff in the wind.
Who knows with the decade that never was -naughties, aughties or zeros- now over maybe we will see a slow shift. A step towards recovery, moving towards growth and positivity like a alcoholic with a hangover. After all the markets, like many things are cyclical.
I look forward to saying the same thing in 20 years time.
I feel like the world-weary vet two days away from retirement imparting wisdom that I'm sure will be disregarded by a heedless rookie charge (not that I'm that old, or you're necessarily heedless), but as someone who has cut her digital punditry teeth on the Gen Y thing, I maintain that it's a rabbit hole not worth diving down. The stereotypes get stale and dissecting them becomes beyond banal and always in the back of your mind is the knowledge that none of this really matter post-25 and that you will very soon hit an age when being fascinated by the youthful zeitgeist makes you feel older than dirt. But what do I know? I'm gonna get shot in a liquor store hold-up gone awry right before my sweet departmental pension kicks in, anyway.
Still up for pokemon, though.
So, I'm 26- I was 16 on 9/11, graduated high school in 2003, earned my bachelor's degree in 2007, before the economy went south. I moved across the country for a good job with a fortune 500 company, where I still work.
I agree with you on a lot of what you say of our generation, though it is impossible not to paint with too broad a brush. I speak only of the productive class in this generation. I suspect we maybe account for 60%.
We the producers of this generation have different expectations than prior generations:
- We don't expect (as you mentioned) to have a wonderful standard of living thrust upon us. We know we'll have to build it ourselves.
- We don't expect social security to be there when we retire.
- We expect to pay for the profligacy of our predecessors.
- We don't expect there is such a thing as unbiased media coverage of anything, we know we have right and left news sources, and so we look at both of them and figure out on our own who is BSing us.
- We don't expect our nation to ever be united in purpose for a period of more than 3 days.
- We expect that in our lifetimes, we will again have to deal with an unfriendly world super-power.
- We were generally told that words count, and to trust what we were told. We've learned to distrust words, and judge based on results.
Uh, I'm 58 and I could have written that at your age. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
It's not accurate to say that previous generations entered the employment market with relative ease. Maybe in the 60′s when there was full employment, but I left school in 1983 in the middle of the worst recession since the war and what at the time was record youth unemployment that has only recently been exceeded.
Larax / larathelogophile talks of people in the 70s and 80s going to University free on the taxpayers crisp notes, but don't forget that back then only 6% of British people went to University. Now it's 45%, roughly equivalent to the number of people who left school with any qualification at all in the 80′s.
No wonder we've got overqualified bus drivers, when the main purpose of sending people to University now seems to get people into debt as early as possible in their working lives. It's certainly not because there is a call for more people with degree-level education, and if less than 50% of people could get an O-Level 30 years ago and now the same number of people can get a degree, either the standard of education has rocketed or the barriers have been lowered to the point where the qualification is so downgraded as to be effectively worthless.
We also had Thatcher hectoring us that there was no such thing as society, and that it was everyone for themselves. Rich yuppies waved their wads of cash in our faces, and we watched in helpless dismay as the Government violently smashed the unions and took away freedom after freedom from the British people.
It's also important not to overstate the significance of 9/11. During the 70s the IRA detonated bomb after bomb after bomb on the British mainland, which was nothing compared to the carnage of the Blitz experienced by my parents generation. Remember the British people lost as many innocent citizens as died in 9/11 EVERY DAY FOR 18 MONTHS during the worst of the Blitz, and the Germans hardly fared any better. 150,000 people died in one night in Dresden in 1945.
There's also Vietnam, Korea, Suez, the Bay of Pigs, Bosnia, Rwanda, World Wars 1 & 2, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, – carnage is nothing new and it didn't get invented by Osama Bin Laden. He's just a convenient bogeyman. If you think justice was served by the cold-blooded slaughter of that washed-up old has-been, then you are very much mistaken.
Neither is the concept that you can't trust politicians new, or that the Church is full of paedophiles. Or moving back home with your folks when your money runs out.
You're dead right that the so-called "Lost Generation" is the same as all that have come before. Each generation thinks that it's angst, it's suffering, and it's disillusionment with the discovery that the world isn't the nice place they once believed it was is unique. Each generation thinks that it will be the generation that turns the tide of human stupidity. And each generation goes on to repeat the same mistakes that were made by previous ones.
If this generation thinks that they will be the ones to "clean all this up" then good luck to you. 30 years ago, we thought it would be us. I only hope you're right.
Hey Jason,
I am 30 and very interested in Sociology, especially within the Evangelical church. If I were to tag a name to our generation, I would call it "The Entitled Generation." This generation has been damaged by parenting that focused more on a child's feelings than instilling the discipline that define the overall morals and ethics we establish in our daily choices.
Instead of learning from the generation before us, we assume we know it all and should also be in charge of other people. We want people to work on our terms instead of helping others and we want respect without working to gain any.
We want to create meaning but do not want to spend more than five minutes establishing any sort of legacy. It seems like this generation either does not know how to take responsibility for their actions or simply does not care to.
Generations gain stereotypes for their overall actions and I do feel that this generation has a chance to redefine their labels and make something great out of themselves; it will take a lot of work and people to stand up and challenge others to shift their paradigms. Those people tend to get damned from the get-go and neutralized because they don't fit the comfortable status-quo many in this generation seem to embrace.
All that to say, I loved your article but have some different views. Glad I found your blog.
As a fellow member of our generation (although only 22) I completely agree with what you have said. I read the Amanda Fairbanks' article first and then yours and I think your analysis is dead on. Most poignantly you point out why we are optimistic "because we've been planning on being the ones to clean all this up for years." I don't think we can emphasize this point enough. We grew up being told that we were special while witnessing that everything else was "complicated" and "fallible". It is only natural for us to take the mantle of responsibility upon ourselves form an early age.
I was in the crowd in front of the White House and tried my best to articulate my thoughts the following day. I wrote them down for others to see and my work published them to give a perspective as I worked right outside the White House. I wrote "Not until last night when I rushed down to the White House, swung from the gates on Pennsylvania Avenue, and chanted with my fellow human beings did I realize what an oppressive layer of fear [Osama Bin Laden] had created. Like coming up out of the fog, I can truly see how expansive it was. My fear has been lessened and I feel a sense of relief. … We rejoiced in the streets because collectively we all felt this relief. … Until this point in my life I could never truly understand the joy of V-day but last night I think I tasted a glimpse."
I also hope that this is the last you have to write on this subject.
PS. Here is the full link to my post: http://blog.davidbbaker.com/2011/05/how-great-the-sadness-how-sweet-the-joy/
I believe that any statement made towards our generation tends to come out generalizing. I think the inability to stereotype us is our stereotype. We are layered. The minute you discover something about US, you are surprised with something you didn't expect and we are not willing to sit back and allow you dissect, we are moving, because we have got a world to change. I will say this. What you say is what you see. If all you say is this generation is Lost, MySpace, etc. then that is what you see, but if you see our generation as Creative, Passionate and Alive, than that is what you will see.
Each new generation must find its footing just as surely as a baby must learn to stand on its own two feet and walk. It is a natural cycle that takes whatever time is necessary. The institutions that exist do so because they still serve a useful purpose for enough people to justify their existence. We can all learn from one another both old and young and everyone in between. Sometimes we must give it some time.
As eniolaanna said, it's probably this generation's huge variance that makes it so difficult to classify. In the last 20 years, so many marvellous inventions have become so commonplace in so much of the world that people with unusual interests can, rather than ignoring or hiding them, find communities of people with remarkably similar interests. Technology connects us so much now, and our culture is no longer defined by what the TV or the radio say it is.

Cinematique Presents: "The Hunt"
The Hunt is a disturbing depiction of how a lie becomes truth when gossip, doubt and malice are allowed to ignite a witch-hunt that soon threatens to destroy an innocent man's life. Mads Mikkelsen won the Best Actor Award at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival for his penetrating portrayal of Lucas, a former school teacher who has been forced to start over after overcoming a tough divorce and the loss of his job. Just as things are starting to go his way, his life is shattered when an untruthful remark throws his small community into a collective state of hysteria. As the lie spreads, Lucas is forced to fight a lonely fight for his life and dignity. (Rated R, 115 min.)

|atomic clock
An extremely precise clock whose rate is controlled by a periodic process (such as vibration, or the absorption or emission of electromagnetic radiation) that occurs at a steady rate in atoms or molecules. The standard atomic clock is based on the vibrations of cesium atoms and is so accurate that it would gain or lose less than one second in three million years. Atomic clocks are used to help track satellites, run navigation systems, and study movements of the Earth's crust.

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Design Ideas: Flipbookit
If you are old enough, you might recall the sound of those old flap signs once common in train stations. Flipping from Chicago to Detroit, they made that gentle clack-clack-clacking sound.
Last year, artworks by Janet Zweig based on those signs were installed at the eastern end of Wisconsin Ave. Instead of shifting from the name of one destination to another, the mechanical signs featured cinematic sequences with silhouetted figures.
As pedestrians approach the kiosks, installed on electrical poles, the artworks activate and short scenes of pedestrian encounters play out across three motorized flap signs.
Meanwhile, a couple of kinetic artists from California started playing around with the technology, too. Mark Rosen and Wendy Marvel began making mechanical flip signs – they call them flip books – based on the motion studies of Eadweard Muybridge. They used antique radio boxes from old prop planes for the boxes and created a little motor to make the books go.
People loved the works in the galleries where Rosen and Marvel showed them, but the flip-book artworks were expensive and available only in limited editions. People weren't taking many of them home.
So, Rosen and Marvel had a brainstorm. They'd develop an inexpensive kit that could be produced in larger numbers and that could be customized with people's own imagery. The artists teamed with a manufacturing designer and former Disney imagineer, Steven Goldstein, to bring the kit to life.
Then they took their project to Kickstarter, where they asked for $5,000 but got $137,567, including from many people who will get one of the very first flipbookits.
The cinematic scenes for Zweig's "Pedestrian Drama" were made in collaboration with Milwaukee's creative community, and the scenes create an open-ended narrative from one sequence to the next. The possibilities are endless, as Zweig intends to return and change up her mini street scenes over time.
What I love about the flipbookit project is the way it opens possibilities in a new way. It puts the technology into the hands large community of enthusiasts. It'd be easy to imagine a whole community of flip-book makers taking this art form to a different place.
It's also a lovely blend of new and old technologies. People might take photos and movies on their phones only to print out the images and turn them into hand-cranked movies, like a penny arcade.
The basic kit, which comes with 24 frame cards, a heavy cardboard box and a hand-crank mechanism, is $43. There are more elaborate versions with motors as well. For more information go to www.flipbookit.net.
Incidentally, I asked the flipbookit team and Zweig if they were aware of each other. They were not – but seem happily interested in one another's work now.
Mary Louise Schumacher is the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic. Follow her on Twitter and Facebook. She brainstorms ideas for this column with 25 Milwaukeeans on Pinterest. Photographer Stephanie Bartz and Mike Brenner, of Brenner Brewing, spotted the flipbookit.

I remember watching Mr. Walter Disney demonstrate how they used to make cartoons back in the old days. They drew similar looking cartoon characters on each page of a pad of paper so that when you flipped through the pages quickly, each page formed a motion picture. Thus you could watch old fashioned cartoons just by flipping the pages.

The overscoring of both Russian ladies throughout the competition was ridiculous. What irks me more is those saying that Yuna was careful or skated not to lose. Frankly, I didn't see it, and I think programs that are a little more intricate and less obviously triumphant always get tagged with this. I agree that Adelina had that aggressiveness that crowds often like at an Olympics, and Yuna's tango does not have that uplifting ending (not that this crowd would have cheered it anyway). Adelina had a wonderful skate, no doubt one of her best ever, but the GOEs and PCS were so inflated that I can't even bring myself to argue.
That being said, Yuna was wonderful, and gracious in defeat. I wish her all the best. I think her fans can take a lot of comfort in her performance and what a classy lady she is.
