BLACKSBURG, Va. —
Alyssa Thomas was nursing an injured hand last season and had to watch as then-No. 8 Maryland lost 75-69 on its homecourt to Virginia Tech, the same undermanned Hokies team that won only six other games all season.
She left no doubt what her presence might have meant in her first crack at the Hokies on Sunday.
The reigning ACC player of the year had 26 points, a career-best 18 rebounds, six assists and three blocks, leading the No. 10 Terrapins to a fast start and a dominating performance throughout in a 74-45 victory against the Hokies.
"Today was all about pride for us and just last year, we went out and didn't play the way we want to play against them," Thomas said. "Today was to kind of let them know we are Maryland."
The Terrapins (13-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) won for the ninth time in 10 games. Maryland went ahead by double figures on three free throws by Katie Rutan 8:23 before halftime and the Hokies never got within single digits again.
"When you are running uphill against a team that talented, it's hard," said Virginia Tech coach Dennis Wolff.
Thomas had 15 points and 11 rebounds by halftime.
"Obviously to watch A.T. tonight just showed what makes her special," Maryland coach Brenda Frese said, adding that it's a luxury for her to be able to plug the 6-foot-2 Thomas in at any position and know the ball and team are in good hands.
"That's the first time I've seen her," Virginia Tech coach Dennis Wolff said. "She's a power forward-sized guard."
Uju Ugoka scored 12 points and Monet Tellier had 11 for Virginia Tech (7-9, 1-4), which lost its fourth straight.
Thomas and the Terps were focused from the start, with Thomas scoring the game's first six points. Maryland also blocked several shots in the early going, and that surely contributed greatly to Virginia Tech's shooting woes.
The Hokies missed 12 of their first 14 shots and shot 27.9 percent (19-68) overall.
"We just focused on making shots tough for them," Thomas said.
The Terps' size remained a factor the rest of the way.
"It just kind of made us alter our shots just a little bit, just enough so that they would bounce out," Tellier said. She scored 31 in the victory at College Park, Md., last season, but missed 13 of 17 shots in the rematch.
Virginia Tech also went the first five minutes before scoring on Porschia Hadley's putback.
Leading just 15-9 after 12 minutes, Maryland used a 13-3 run to open its lead to 28-12. Tierney Pfirman started it with a 3-pointer, Rutan hit three free throws and Tianna Hawkins finished it with a jumper.
Hawkins scored 14 for Maryland, and Rutan and Pfirman each had 11.
The Terps' lead was 37-22 at halftime, and after Virginia Tech closed to within 43-31 with 15 minutes to go, Malina Howard hit a jumper from the free throw line, Pfirman had a three-point play and Howard followed a Hokies turnover with a 3-pointer, pushing the lead back to 51-31, and all suspense was gone.
The Hokies forced 22 turnovers, but turned them into just 12 points, and had 18 offensive rebounds, but just six second-chance points.
Hawkins 7-13 0-2 14, Pfirman 4-7 1-1 11, Thomas 8-17 10-12 26, DeVaughn 0-0 0-0 0, Pavlech 0-1 0-0 0, Austin 2-3 0-0 5, Howard 3-5 0-0 7, Adams 0-0 0-0 0, Rutan 3-4 3-3 11. Totals 27-50 14-18 74.
Young 0-2 0-0 0, Ugoka 5-13 2-5 12, Campbell 2-6 0-0 4, L. Evans 1-4 0-0 2, Tellier 4-17 3-6 11, Wilson 1-2 0-0 2, Fenyn 3-9 0-0 6, N. Evans 1-7 2-3 4, Kiss-Rusk 0-1 0-0 0, Hadley 2-5 0-1 4, Lloyd 0-2 0-0 0. Totals 19-68 7-15 45.
Halftime—Maryland 37-22. 3-Point Goals—Maryland 6-8 (Rutan 2-2, Pfirman 2-3, Austin 1-1, Howard 1-1, Hawkins 0-1), Virginia Tech 0-8 (Wilson 0-1, Fenyn 0-1, Ugoka 0-1, Young 0-1, L. Evans 0-1, Tellier 0-3). Fouled Out—Hawkins. Rebounds—Maryland 43 (Thomas 18), Virginia Tech 33 (N. Evans 7). Assists—Maryland 19 (Thomas 6), Virginia Tech 9 (Fenyn, Wilson 3). Total Fouls—Maryland 16, Virginia Tech 15. A—1,674.

No matter where they're from, Gilt Edge Baptist Church is making sure everyone knows college is attainable.
The Jeffersonville church will host its first College Day on at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the church, 1713 Green St., Jeffersonville. Monica Horton, a youth leader at the church, said students and parents will learn the ins and outs of getting into a college and how to pay for it.
"One of our students didn't know the first thing to do, like with the ACT test," Horton said. "Even though it's in the schools, they just need to have some discussion. We just saw a need with our kids based on some of our conversations with them at church, as far as how they're not prepared it's time."
Victor Vinson, pastor at the church, said sometimes students in poorer areas feel like they'll never get out of their circumstances, but he hopes the information session will empower them to push themselves.
"I know the community we're in allows young kids to feel like college is out of their reach, whether it's for financial reasons or family reasons," Vinson said. "We want to open their eyes that they can qualify for college too, that their environment doesn't dictate what they're able to do."
Horton said representatives from Indiana University Southeast and the University of Louisville will talk to students about how to prepare for college, but parents will also have the opportunity to fire off questions.
"Its not just limited to high school students," Horton said. "We have some of our older teens who have never gone to college, but now are thinking about attending. It's also geared toward the parents."She said whether it's filling out Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms or seeing how to apply fort scholarships, parents and students can get a better grasp on how to get ready for life after high school.
Vinson said it's also good to bring the colleges to the community in case families may not have Internet access or the ability to drive to colleges for information.
"We're looking out to open up doors for individuals who are not able to get into schools in our region to get the information they have on scholarships and admissions," Vinson said. "It's great to be able to talk to a rep face to face so you can find out about schools you're interested in so you can pinpoint what's the best fit for you."Along with face to face conversations, materials from other area colleges will also be available for parents and students to take home and review.

The most gory scene that I have come across is, and yes it is Final Destanation 3, where Lewis Romero is pumping the weights and is eventually has his head crushed between the heavy weights and blood flys in all directions, causing the small droplets of dark red blood to drool down the crystal white walls, horror on all faces, cut short by the two main characters not giving a damn and walking to their car, how nice.

After Benefiting From Voter Furor Over Economy, Conservatives Prioritize Divisive Social Agenda in States
Charles Monaco on December 2, 2010 - 12:47pm
The morning after Election Day, conservative candidates across the country woke up to find themselves the beneficiaries of an historic national wave of voter anger over the state of the economy and record unemployment. Exit polls and other surveys unanimously showed that jobs and the economy were by far the primary issues on voters' minds as they cast their ballots - while they simultaneously revealed no mandate for a conservative economic agenda that would hurt working families.

Yamaha introduced its FZ motorcycles to the United States in 2001. The line is based on its R1, which is Yamaha's most powerful street bike and can travel in excess of 190 mph. The FZ is considered the tamed-down version of the R1 due to its less powerful engine. The Japanese manufacturer produced two models of the FZ in 2008: the FZ 1 and the FZ 6. The engine size is the major difference between the two versions. The FZ 1 has a 998 cc engine, while the FZ 6 has a smaller engine at only 600 cc. They also come in different colors. The FZ 1 is available in red and gray, with anodized aluminum forks that gives them a copper hue, while the FZ 6 comes in purplish blue and black. The FZ line is known as the FZ Fazer in Europe. FZs with smaller displacement engines are available elsewhere around the world; this naked bike is particularly popular in India.
Yamaha describes the FZ 6 has having ""sport soul, street spirit,"" noting it is an all-around motorcycle that ""combines exciting performance and great style with an incredible level of riding comfort."" It is designed to be a commuter motorcycle as well as a touring bike for leisure hours. The FZ 1, which Yamaha refers to as a ""serious sport bike,"" has high footpegs, which, when combined with seating position, tend to be uncomfortable and cramped for riders. However, riders say this position provides good cornering when riding on twisty roads. Both models have a standard instrument panel with backlighting that can be adjusted.

Oct. 15, 2012
New Orleans - Tulane senior quarterback Ryan Griffin has been named the College Sports Madness Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in leading Tulane to a 27-26 come-from-behind victory over C-USA rival SMU at home this past week.
Griffin returned from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for three games and completed 17-of-32 passes for 302 yards and three touchdowns, including a 16-yard score to sophomore running back Rob Kelley with 35 seconds remaining, to lead Tulane to its 27-26 Conference USA win over SMU last Saturday at the Superdome.
Following a blocked field goal by Tulane junior defensive end Julius Warmsley, Griffin took the field and immediately found redshirt-freshman receiver Marc Edwards wide open down the middle for a 79-yard touchdown. It was the longest pass play of Griffin's career and the longest by Tulane since 2004. Griffin's first touchdown came on the opening drive when he found Kelley for a 31-yard scoring strike.
Three other Green Wave players have also been honored as senior Eric Jones and the junior duo of Ryan Grant and Zach Davis were named to Phil Steele's 2012 Mid-season All-Conference USA teams.
Jones, a right offensive tackle from Hoover, Ala., who was named to the third team, has started all six games this season and has started 29 of 36 career contests. In last week's win over SMU, Jones anchored an offensive line that helped pave the way for Griffin's 302-yard and three-touchdown passing day.
In his first season as a regular starter, Davis was a second team selection. He has started five of six games at middle linebacker and ranks second on the squad for tackles with 41 (28 solo) and is tied for third for tackles for loss with 3.0 and has two sacks. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native also has one interception and a pass break-up on the year. Davis' best game was against ULM with a 12 tackles and an interception.

That depends. Since we base Fair Purchase Price on actual transactions, some vehicles are too new to establish a history, others have low current dealer inventory, and still others have low sales volume overall. Rest assured - when we can post a Fair Purchase Price, we do.

The Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD trucks are Chevrolet's line of heavy-duty pickups meant for hauling big loads and other applications where power is the priority. Like its GMC twins the Sierra 2500 HD/3500 HD and heavy-duty rivals from Ford and Ram, the Silverado HD comes in a variety of trims, from just-the-basics to versions with leather interiors and premium sound systems. Also like its rivals, the Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD can be had with a gasoline or diesel engine, the latter of which has exceptional – but not class-leading – towing capacity. For 2013, a bi-fuel system is available on the 2500 HD that can run on gasoline or compressed natural gas, the latter of which has the potential to provide cost savings depending on where fuel prices go.
If you've been a longtime Chevy Silverado HD fan and it's time to trade in your old rig, the features in the 2013 model should help you remain loyal. For those looking to potentially save fuel costs, the compressed natural gas option may make the Silverado 2500 HD more tempting.
Even the most powerful Silverado HD won't grant you bragging rights when it comes to towing ability and torque. In the never-ending quest for "best in class" for those stats, the leader (at least for 2013) is the Ram 3500 with its 30,000-pound max trailering capacity and 850 lb-ft of torque.What's New for 2013
A bi-fuel system is available on 2500 HD models with the 6.0-liter engine and extended cab. With it, the truck can run on regular gasoline or compressed natural gas (CNG). Also, the Duramax 6.6-liter V8 diesel engine is now available on 3500 HD chassis cab models.Driving It Driving Impressions
After testing several Silverado HD trucks with gasoline and diesel engines, long and short beds, and in various trim levels, we found all exhibited a firm suspension, good steering ability, and a fairly compliant ride. We are particularly fond of versions with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 under the hood that boasts 397 horsepower and a stout 765 lb-ft of torque. When pulling a 10,000-pound trailer, the 2500 HD had no qualms whatsoever. The 3500 HD model with that engine can pull 18,000 pounds in conventional towing, and 23,100 in fifth-wheel setups. The diesel engine is a bit loud, but once inside the passenger compartment much of the noise is mitigated.
This feature on diesel models works by progressively restricting the engine's exhaust, depending on speed and grade of descent, to help slow the truck using compression braking.
Available on 2500 HD extended-cab models as an $11,000 option, this system enables the Silverado to run on traditional gasoline or compressed natural gas. The CNG tank takes up some bed space near the front, but can potentially save you money by using the alternative fuel.
The 2013 Chevy Silverado HD's interior varies widely depending on what trim and cab configuration you choose. A base WT model with regular cab, for example, seats three on a vinyl bench and has few frills, not even power windows. It's made to be exactly what its initials stand for: a work truck. Extended-cab models, meanwhile, expand passenger count to six with a rear bench. Crew cabs are also configured to seat six or, with individual front seats, five. Foremen, meanwhile, can appreciate the premium, leather-lined accommodations of LTZ models. When properly equipped, the Silverado HD can serve as a rolling office thanks to multiple power outlets and the option of becoming a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.
The 2013 Silverado HD comes in two flavors: the 2500 and 3500, representing 3/4-ton and 1-ton models. Though each shares the boxy overall element of the Silverado 1500, these heavy-duty versions are even bolder with a larger chrome grille and a raised power-dome hood. The even-heavier-duty 3500 models can be had as a dualie with a pair of dual rear wheels. If you plan to park your Silverado HD in the garage, make sure it can fit. Even with a regular cab, at 225 inches, the Silverado HD is more than two feet longer than the Chevy Impala full-size sedan. Crew-cab versions with a long box, meanwhile, measure 259.1 inches, or over 21 feet in length.Notable Standard Equipment
In base WT form, Silverado HD models won't exactly baste you in luxury. These are work trucks through and through, and part of that work will be cranking your own windows unless you pay for the option or upgrade. However, the base models are equipped with a powerful V8, 4-wheel antilock disc brakes, stability control, air conditioning, cruise control, an AM/FM stereo, and a heavy-duty handling/trailering suspension package. LT trims add features such as power windows/doors, a CD player and premium cloth seating. Top-line LTZ models come with steering-wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth, Bose premium sound, leather seats and a heavy-duty locking rear differential. All 3500 HD models get the locking differential and heavy-duty trailering equipment.
All trims of the 2013 Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD can be had with the more powerful Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel engine, as well as 4-wheel drive in place of the standard rear-wheel drive. Other options vary by trim, and range from power windows and door locks in base models to a rearview camera and heated and cooled leather seats in top trims. Creature-comfort options include a touch-screen navigation system and premium audio, while work-related add-ons include an EZ-Lift tailgate, snow-plow prep package and dual 125-amp alternators. 2500 HD models with the 6.0-liter V8 and extended cab can be equipped with a bi-fuel system that enables the engine to run on gasoline or compressed natural gas.
Two engines are available on 2013 Chevrolet Silverado HD models: a 6.0-liter gasoline V8 that's flex-fuel capable, or a 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 that can run on B20 biodiesel fuel. For 2013, the gasoline engine can be modified as a factory option to also run on compressed natural gas (doing so lowers power output). In addition to offering much more power than the gasoline engine, the diesel offers an exhaust braking feature to help slow the truck on descents. To reduce emissions, the diesel engine uses a urea-based fluid in a 5.3-gallon tank that needs to be replaced every 5,000 miles. Both engines are linked to 6-speed automatic transmissions, with a heavy-duty Allison 1000 available for the diesel. The EPA does not rate the fuel economy on heavy-duty trucks such as the Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD.
6.0-liter V8
360 horsepower @ 5,400 rpm
380 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: N/A
6.6-liter turbocharged diesel V8
397 horsepower @ 3,000 rpm
765 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: N/A
A base 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD with regular cab has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at just over $30,000. Load up a 4-wheel-drive 3500 HD with a diesel engine (a roughly $7,000 option alone) and all the trimmings, and you can double that price beyond the $60,000 mark. The Chevy's starting price is in line with those of heavy-duty truck rivals from Ford and Ram. Before buying, be sure to check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for the 2013 Silverado HD. The Silverado HD's resale value runs right in line with the Ford F-Series Super Duty and Ram 2500/3500, with residuals varying a bit depending on trim level and cab configuration. In general, diesel models have a slightly higher resale value vs. those with gasoline engines.

Honk: This traffic sensor makes him smile
By JIM RADCLIFFE
Q. I thought you might like this. In the left-hand turn pocket on northbound Jamboree Road, turning onto Tustin Ranch Road, the traffic-signal guys have a great sense of humor. I took this picture of the design they made with a sensor loop in the asphalt. I also attached a recent photo showing that someone added to the figure. When I s

Some readers want 65-mph drivers to scat from carpool lanes
Q. Dear Honk: First off, I look forward to your column and enjoy reading the interesting/funny questions and equally informed answers. That was right up until today (June 20) and the response to the "Let faster cars go around you in carpool lanes, CHP says" question. Instead of just moving over to let people pass, th

Q. I saw a paramedics' van sitting in an auto repair shop. I noticed that the light bar was removed, but the two emergency red lights up front are still in place. Also, the paramedics company name was removed but "AMBULANCE" was still on both sides of the van. What's the law on decommissioned ambulances? &nda

Q. Dear Mr. Honk: I keep my speed at around 65 mph in the carpool lanes when driving with my husband, only to have people behind me zoom around (even if there's those solid lines) and then get in front of me, because they want to go a lot faster. And I rarely ever see a California Highway Patrol officer. Am I incorrect in thinkin

Parking in the middle of a street is not OK
By JIM RADCLIFFE
Q. Is it legal for a semi-truck to just park in the middle of the street for an extended period of time, say 20 to 30 minutes, to load or unload? I've seen it happen here in town, and certain cretins seem incapable of navigating a large lot, or are too lazy. This can block others from getting into a business's lot.

Getting stranded at a light

Q. Dear Honk: A pet peeve of mine is the many traffic-signal sensors that fail to detect medium-weight motorcycles.

Is there any quality check made before

Plenty of the fine folks out in Honkland have roadway pet peeves. Honk asked readers to pass along theirs, and here are some: • "People too close behind me bugs me the most," said Linda Williams of Laguna Hills. "I leave a lot of space ahead of my car." • "Drivers not using th

Why can't Caltrans just stripe a new lane?
By JIM RADCLIFFE
Q. Dear Honk: The northbound I-405, from the I-5 to Culver Drive, goes from seven lanes to six to five, and then back to six and five. There is plenty of already-poured concrete to re-strip this section to a constant six lanes. Every workday morning, starting at around 7 a.m. and running to past 10 a.m., there is stop-and-go traffic, which ne

Recent Newfoundland and Labrador Reviews
I stayed at Beauty by the Bay with my parents for 5 nights in July and had a great time. The owners are very friendly and helpful, the house has been well renovated and is very comfortable. It's about 20 mins walk to downtown and the same to Signall Hill. Highly recommended!
The cottage far exceeded our expectations with every amenity necessary. Your property manager, Desmond, was helpful and delivered us losters one evening on request. Bauline is a lovely, quiet village and our deck views of whales and icebergs were awesome. We enjoyed the short drive into St. John`s and many day trips around Avalon. The O`Brien`s whale and puffin watching boat trip was a highlight. We`ve already recommended the property as it was through friends having stayed there in the past who told us about your cottage. We`d love to return in the future.
40 minutes from downtown St. John's so ideal if you want to do day trips to the city but would prefer not to stay there. This house is extremely beautiful and comfortable. The care and thought put into this home is evident, The view from the main sitting room is lovely and there are lots of trails to explore near by. The hosts have been excellent in responding to any questions I had and very accommodating. I would recommend this house to family and friends in a heartbeat.

Mobile and Console News - June 13, 2014
On Monday, it was announced that Hard Mode will be coming to mobile Terraria!
There is currently no concrete release date for this long-anticipated update, but 505 Games has said that this is something which they have been "working on behind the scenes for a long time now", so it probably won't be too far off!
The news post on Terraria Online was rounded out by the teaser image to the right, courtesy of 505 Games' Twitter.
Additionally, it was announced that Terraria will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One! Some of what is known about these versions thus far is shown below:
- PS4 version will have cross-save and cross play functionality with PlayStation Vita
- All 1.2 content will be included, along with "brand new functionality"
- Release is currently slated for "later in 2014"
You can read more about this story on TO here.
v22.214.171.124 Working Changelog - May 13, 2014
With v1.2.4 released, the next major update we have to look forward to is likely the "Lunar Update", which will become the major focus for the Terraria team once 1.2.4 is "bug free and released".
In the meantime, Cenx tweeted a link to working changelog for v18.104.22.168! This document will be updated as changes are made to the game, so keep an eye on it!
You can read the full thread on Terraria Online here.
v1.2.4 Nearing Release - April 20, 2014
According to a post made by Redigit earlier today, PC v1.2.4 is in the final polishing and testing phase and should release within the next two weeks!
He accompanied this announcement with a video showing off a new addition in this update which has been teased at before, but never revealed: minecarts!
The post ended by talking a bit about the much-anticipated "Lunar Update", which is currently being worked on by Re-Logic's spriters. After the 1.2.4 update is released, Redigit, Solsund, and Yoraiz0r will work on the coding side of the update.
You can read the whole story at Terraria Online here.
Update: As of May 8, Terraria version 1.2.4 is now live! Pages for this update will be created over the next few days, so feel free to help out!
Console 1.2 Release Date - April 14, 2014
Good news Terrarians!
The long-anticipated port of the 1.2 update for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PS Vita now has a confirmed release date of Thursday, April 17, 2014!
In case you missed it, this teaser for the update was released back in February.
For further reading, you can see the official announcement on Terraria Online here and the changelog for this update here.
- "Good evening Terrarians! 1.2.4 is officially underway and I would like to announce the first new mechanic that will be seen in this update; Fishing! Fishing will be used to get new vanity, random items/loot, ingredients for new alchemy potions, and some other fun goodies.

In the Old Testament, a man whose faith was severely tested by Satan, with God's permission. Job was the most prosperous and happy of men, who faithfully praised God for God's goodness. In order to get him to curse God, Satan destroyed all that Job owned, killed his children, and struck Job himself with vile sores from head to foot. False friends of Job's suggested that he should abandon his beliefs (see Job's comforters). But even in absolute misery, Job would not curse God, saying instead, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: blessed be the name of the Lord." As a reward for his steadfast faith, God healed Job and "gave him twice as much as he had before."
Note: Figuratively, any long-suffering person can be said to be "as patient as Job."
persecuted, an Arabian patriarch who resided in the land of Uz (q.v.). While living in the midst of great prosperity, he was suddenly overwhelmed by a series of sore trials that fell upon him. Amid all his sufferings he maintained his integrity. Once more God visited him with the rich tokens of his goodness and even greater prosperity than he had enjoyed before. He survived the period of trial for one hundred and forty years, and died in a good old age, an example to succeeding generations of integrity (Ezek. 14:14, 20) and of submissive patience under the sorest calamities (James 5:11). His history, so far as it is known, is recorded in his book.

- Senators want more answers from the General Services Administration on how it is controlling its wallet. Leaders of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee have asked acting General Services Administration chief Dan Tangherlini to respond to 41 new questions. The senators cite concerns that GSA headquarters does not oversee regional offices adequately when it comes to spending. In the past, regional heads have approved their own travel and expenses. The lawmakers have asked the agency to respond by the end of the month. (Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee)
- Rural post offices avoided the chopping block last week, and now your downtown post office has also gotten a stay of execution. The Postal Service announced yesterday that about 600 urban and suburban post offices that were slated for closure will now remain open. It has backed off its plan to close nearly 4,000 post offices, which would have happened today. The Senate has offered an $11 billion cash infusion to keep the Postal Service afloat. But Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe says that falls far short of what it needs in the long-term. Without congressional intervention, the Postal Service will default on its Treasury debt this fall. (Federal News Radio)
- Pentagon leaders hope 1,000 suppliers sign up to share cybersecurity information. The Department got White House approval expand its pilot program of 36 companies. DoD's goal is to improve cybersecurity in the defense industrial base by exchanging threat information in a secure way. DoD will send threat information to the companies' internet service providers. The ISPs will then be able to stop the threats before they reach the companies. Homeland Security is involved too. It maintains the threat database and makes it available to the participating ISPs. (Federal News Radio)
- Big Blue is helping federal buildings go green. The General Services Administration has hired IBM to install monitoring and control technology in 50 federal buildings. The buildings will feed energy consumption data to a central dashboard, so they can all be controlled from one location. GSA estimates energy savings will amount to 15 million dollars a year. Among the 50 buildings covered will be the Ronald Reagan Building and the FAA's headquarters in Washington. Also the John F. Kennedy Federal Building in Boston and the Everett Dirksen building in Chicago, both completed in the 1960s. (Federal News Radio)
- An IT shakeup at the Social Security Administration suffered from a lack of planning, according to GAO auditors. Social Security closed down its chief information office in June. It gave its Office of Systems responsibility for managing IT. GAO says Social Security did not foresee some of the challenges that occurred and did not have a game plan for overcoming them. (Government Accountability Office)
- Justice is blind, and so, apparently, is TSA. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was flagged for extra screening by airport security on Friday. A freelance journalist recognized the 89-year-old statesman, but TSA agents didn't. They subjected Kissinger to a full search. The journalist told the Washington Post that Kissinger didn't ask for any special treatment and even cracked jokes with an aide. (Washington Post)
- NOAA says it is turning the corner on ending overfishing and rebuilding U.S. fisheries. Its annual report card shows 2011 was a record-breaking year. From Bering Sea snow crab in Alaska to summer flounder in the Atlantic, six species that had been overfished returned to target levels. NOAA keeps a Fish Stock Sustainability Index, which is like a Dow Jones for fish. It has risen steadily for 11 years now. The agency credits what it calls a science-based management process with annual catch limits and accountability measures. Still, 1 out of 5 species remains overfished. (NOAA)

State your full name.
(laughter) This is an interrogation … Ron Corning. C-O-R-N-I-N-G.
Not Ronald? Not Ronnie?
It's actually Ronald.
Middle name?
Originally you're from?
Calais, Maine.
Tell us a little bit about growing up in Calais, Maine.
What do I say about Calais? I think when I grew up there were maybe 5,000 people. Slightly less. 75 people in my graduating class. Maybe 350 in my high school. Working class mill town. You know, my dad … my dad worked in construction since he was 17 years old. Worked his way up. So you know, very working class, blue collar. Not a huge number of kids went to college. So sort of the odds were stacked against you for a full four-year college education. The odds are further stacked against you to leave the state and the odds are really stacked against you if you have some lofty idea that you're gonna be, you know, a TV journalist or a broadcaster, so I kind of kept that to myself to be honest.
Well … and that's actually the next question. Did you want to be an on-air journalist growing up?
I did. I was always inspired by that. But I seriously kept it to myself. I didn't really share it with anybody because I thought I'd not be taken seriously.
What was your first job, ever?
First job was bagging groceries at the IGA. Summer of my 15th birthday… I actually take that back, my first job was the summer that I was 13, no 14, and we were still at the lake, but five miles away. There was a blueberry farm and I raked blueberries for four weeks in August.
How was that?
Brutal. They are low to the ground and you have what looks like a dustpan with prongs on it. And there's an inverse handle and literally you're down like this the entire time and you're scraping up and then when you fill the rake you hold the rake up to the wind, and you let the wind kind of blow some of the leaves out into a bucket.
But later, this thing with TV, maybe still could happen?
Oh, it was always right there, but I entered school premed. Because I was very interested in science and medicine, and I thought that at least it was a reasonable thing that you shared with people that you were gonna go off to premed and maybe be a doctor or be a dentist. The idea of doing better in my hometown was to become a professional. Lawyer, doctor, dentist – sort of standard. So I went off with that. But in the back of my head, I was thinking, hmm …And actually, the spring before I graduated from high school … and as I was making a decision where I was going to school, I was at an orientation and went to a workshop … and I was sitting there and they used as an example about how Wheaton was a liberal arts school and they wanted you to study your education – something that interested you academically. And then they would help you connect the dots and see how that translated into an occupation or into a field. And they'd help with internships to kind of connect the dots. And they literally used as an example a girl who was a psychology student who was interested in journalism and got an internship with CBS News in Washington with Lesley Stahl who was an alum of the school. And right there it sort of dawned on me. … So I started at school, doing some stuff with the sociology department. They had a documentary film course so I started taking that. Then based on some stuff I shot on my own I put a tape together and got my first internship at the NBC station in Providence, Rhode Island. That was it. I was in the door.
So, let's fast-forward, Dallas, Big D…
Well, you know, it's been kind of an interesting road here. I moved around the local markets. I got a seminational job on The Buzz, then I get recruited for ABC and then I was hosting "Good Day, New York" for the FOX affiliate.
So what do you think about Dallas, the station?
It's great. It's interesting when you work with people who've worked here forever. This place is top-notch.
Your favorite place to hang out in Dallas so far?
… I don't want to sound cliché. I like the new Gloria's at Lemmon and Cole. It's close to home. It's a place you can take people when they come to town and you want to show them Tex-Mex … but it's more modern. I'm kind of a foodie, I guess.
Is there a place you haven't seen yet but you want to?
I've done a lot already. I think I want to try out the BBQ scene. I've been to Fort Worth, I've been to the stockyards. Been to Southfork, been to the book depository museum. You know, I think there's a lot to be offered in terms of art and culture. The museums I definitely want to explore.
What's the best part of the job? Except the hours.
[sarcastically] Oh, the hours of course by far are the best! The best part is that I get the sense that this is a show that the station has really rallied around and they've entrusted us to just be who we are and do our thing and watch it take shape. It's not very often that you have a platform like this. Where they're just willing to sort of let it be organic to a certain degree.
Nap? Or Red Bull?
Ohhh, a nap, always a nap! I choose a nap over everything else. Honestly, there's nothing better to me than sleep. Even when I worked regular hours. Just by nature I'm a napper. I've always believed in it.
Is it crazy waking up that early?
You hope that people in the morning give you a little bit of leeway because they know you're operating on five hours of sleep. It's not normal, it's kinda grueling to get up at that hour but that's the trade-off.
Okay, now the fun stuff. If you were a superhero, what would your special power be?
Who doesn't want to fly? Especially with the traffic around here.
Guilty pleasure?
What's my guilty pleasure … I could watch Chopped and talk for days about it.
And if you were a dog, which breed would you be?
I'd want to be Oprah's cocker spaniels. Not just any particular breed, but her cocker spaniel.
Ron Corning, the movie. Who plays Ron Corning?
Someone slightly stupid and a little goofy? Who's a younger Tom Hanks?
Three words about Ron Corning. Go.
Here I am.
