The Associated Press
MIAMI — Stephen Morris threw for two early touchdowns, both set up by Virginia Tech special-teams miscues, and Miami took a step forward in the chase for the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division title by beating the Hokies 30-12 on Thursday night.
Duke Johnson had a 7-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and finished with 217 all-purpose yards for the Hurricanes (5-4, 4-2), who snapped a three-game slide.
Logan Thomas had a 73-yard scoring run on a quarterback draw for Virginia Tech (4-5, 2-3), which lost to Miami for just the third time in the last 10 meetings. The loss also ensures the Hokies' streak of eight straight 10-win seasons will end this year.
The win puts Miami a half-game ahead of Duke and North Carolina in the Coastal race, though the Tar Heels are ineligible for postseason play, including the ACC title game.
The Hokies and Hurricanes are two of the best teams on Thursday night — a combined 34-8 record entering the game, Virginia Tech with a 19-5 mark, Miami 15-3.
And the Hokies were 25-2 in ACC games played in November.
Now, they're 25-3, all three losses coming to Miami, and the Hokies had plenty of chances in this one.
Virginia Tech outgained Miami 421-347, ran 82 plays to the Hurricanes' 58, and still lost. A blocked punt led to one Miami touchdown, a big return by Johnson set up another, and that was about all the offense for the Hurricanes.
Thomas was 19 for 37 for 199 yards and two interceptions for the Hokies, and rushed 22 times for 124 yards. Morris completed 13 of 28 passes for 170 yards.

NORMAN — Cleveland County's unemployment rate fell from 4.6 percent to 4.1 percent from October to November 2012, state officials said today.
Statewide, the jobless rate in Oklahoma shows that each of the state's 77 counties experienced a decline in the unemployment rate in November. Neighboring McClain County dropped from 4.7 percent to 4 percent, and Pottawatomie County dropped from 4.8 percent to 4.4 percent.
The figures from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission show that the lowest unemployment rates were 2.2 percent in both Ellis and Dewey counties in western Oklahoma, followed by 2.4 percent unemployment in both Beaver and Roger Mills counties.
The highest rates remain in southeastern Oklahoma with an 8.9 percent jobless in Le Flore County and 8.5 percent in Latimer County.
The commission report that the Oklahoma City metro area unemployment rate stood at 4.5 percent, down from 4.9 percent in October. The Tulsa metro unemployment fell by a half percent to 5.1 percent, and the Lawton jobless rate dropped from 7 percent to 6.4 percent.
Rates dropped below 7 percent in 192 cities. That's the first time since the recession ended that more than half of large cities had rates below that threshold.

Not wanting to waste an egg, I was tempted to just use one whole egg rather than the two eggs whites. I ended up mixing up the recipe as directed and I'm glad I did--I can only think it was the egg whites that were responsible for the wonderful soft and chewy texture of this cookie. Because the candy bar chunks melt during baking, some of the cookies end up somewhat misshapen, but they're so peanut buttery delicious I would hardly say it matters.
These were a huge hit at our house and my mom even asked me for the recipe. Besure to not over bake them though or they will get tough. Other things I discovered you have to leave them on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before you move them to a cookie rack to finish cooling. Do not leave large chucks of candy on the outside of the dough balls or they will not work well. Do not eat while still hot or the candy will burn you, warm is good though. I also ended up with closer to five dozen rather than two so prepare to make a lot.
New Favorite Cookie Alert! I doubled this recipe (10 Butterfingers!) and I'm glad I did because I would have cried if the guys ate all of these while I'm at work tomorrow, but now I'm also a little nervous because I can't stop eating them and there might not be any left by the time I go to work tomorrow and they know I made a double batch so that would be pretty embarassing. Mine turned out a little flat, but I like flat cookies, so thanks for the recipe!!! UPDATE 3-19: I bought a CASE of Butterfingers yesterday and I'm getting down with this recipe again today. I forgot to mention in my earlier review that you need to let these guys cool on the baking sheet or they will fall apart. Thanks! :)

McALESTER —
A McAlester man who text-messaged a police officer to attempt to buy methamphetamine pleaded guilty recently in Pittsburg County District Court.
Matthew Norvel Gunion, 37, pleaded guilty Jan. 28 to charges of attempted possession of a controlled dangerous substance and unlawful use of a communication facility.
He was fined $385 and ordered to complete District 18 Drug Court. Upon successful completion of drug court, the charges will be dismissed. However, if Gunion does not successfully complete drug court he will be sentenced to serve 10 years in the custody of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
According to court records, McAlester police officer Shawn Delana received strange text messages on his city of McAlester issued cell phone — someone was looking to buy methamphetamine.
Unsure of the identity of the text message sender, and unclear about how the texter got his cell phone number, Delana went along with the text messages in stride, according to a police affidavit.
The text-message sender informed the police officer that he was sorry for contacting Delana out of the blue, but his two usual drug hookups were "missing in action," the affidavit states. The text message sender wanted to buy $50 worth of methamphetamine in "shards," the affidavit states. The text-message sender also agreed to pay an extra $10 for Delana's "trouble."
Delana set up a sting operation and set up a meeting with the unidentified text-message sender, the affidavit states. Delana called the texter's phone number and set up a meeting. Since the two had never met before, the text-message sender described what he would be wearing so Delana could easily identify him when they met, the affidavit states.
McAlester police showed up at the meeting and arrested Gunion, who had the cell phone and $60 in his pocket, the affidavit states.

I'm looking to upgrade stuff by the end of the year. A newer pre-amp would be nice. Right now i have an Adcom GTP-400. Now this is not the most respected pre, but it is not bad at all, has worked 100% since new. I'm thinking of going with a GFP-565. There pretty easy to get and the prices are about 250-350. The reason for that is i'm looking for a pre with a good phono section. I don't want to have the extra phonopre sitting in the rack, nor pay the money for it. Now "Stereophile mag" really liked this pre, and the Phono section. They said it was the best Phono section and overall pre they had heard in the 1K range (and thats in 1990 dollars..LOL) Now the only better pre then this (from Adcom) would be of course the 750. BUT, you not going to get that for $350, and it has no Phono section.
Now i'm probably going to pull the SL-1600 TT out of the closet, and go back to listening to some LP's. Now i am NOT jumping down the rabbit hole on this. I'll need a new cartridge, but it's going to be in 100-150 range, thats it. Plus all new cleaning supplies. I have probably 1000 records sitting in milk crates (what else..LOL) It is mostly rock in one form or another from the 70's on up. BUT..these have all been over played, and no amount of cleaning or applications of "Last" is going to fix them that much. Most will be playable, some just will not be. There is just music in there that you can't find anymore. Which is why i would do this.
I am NOT going to throw massive money at this. You can only fix these records to a point. You can't get rid of the scratches, pops, whatever. It's really there, so when you want to hear old stuff that you can't find anyplace else, you can put on the record and hopefully not drive yourself nuts trying to listen to it...
If you have any Pre-amps you think can beat the GFP-565 for a better phono section, and over all,i would love to know about them. KEEP in mind the Dollar limit. I may go up to $450 on this,but not much more.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — LONDONDERRY — A pedestrian was struck and killed on Interstate 93 north at about 4:45 this afternoon, tying up traffic for miles.
New Hampshire State Police reopened the Exit 4 on-ramp at about 6:30 p.m., but traffic is backed up throughout Londonderry and Derry, including on alternate roads.
Little information has been released, but scanner reports indicated a man jumped out of a car on the highway, then was struck and killed.
The accident, visible from the Ash Street bridge, stopped traffic for quite a while.
There are indications the incident may have started as a domestic dispute in a vehicle, which ended tragically when one party left the car and was reportedly running up the highway when he was hit.

Yags. Who actually claims he had/has an gigantic ego ...???
Actually, I would bet everyone mentioned has a HEALTHY ego. You don't get to be an Olympic medalist by being a shrinking violet and aw-shucksing. People who go around proclaiming their own greatness, especially at the expense of others, are generally dealing with insecurities.
Daisuke is exceptionally humble. Not that he likes losing.
Trankov Plushenko and Moir are especially humble.
But actually I'd say that tong and Zhao were pretty humble
First one who came to my mind was Daisuke.
And well, not that he's successful NOW, but Tomas Verner is an absolute sweetheart. And he was so during his successful years too. He's one of the most approachable skaters I've ever met.
But the thread would be much more fun if we talked the ones with biggest egos
Firsts at the top of my head; Brian Boitano, Todd Eldridge, Daisuke Takahashi, and Ilia Kulik.
In terms of Olympic champs, Urmanov comes to mind. He always came off very humble and classy, and it seemed to take him until 97 to even be comfortable with the pressure of being Olympic champion. Of course just when that started happening and he was at his best, he wound up getting injured.
Charlie White? He always seem classy in victory and defeat. Also Ben Agosto, Tim Goebel, Urmanov, Ilia

Multimedia Dynamite
What should the Linux movie player of your dreams do? It should play any movie/video that you throw at it. No questions asked—just play. It should allow seeking and volume control with the keyboard and mouse. It should work with an infrared remote controller and also play television. It should play DVDs and VCDs too. MPlayer can do all of this and much, much more.
MPlayer also is an award-winning, mature, open-source program that still is actively in development. Perhaps one day in the not-too-distant future, support for DVD menus, color subtitles, picture in picture video, MIDI and audio effects plugins like the ones for SoX will be added.
MPlayer is admirably stable for the job it does. However, it does crash under certain circumstances, such as with certain video drivers.
It is a mature application that has no parallel. MEncoder, its companion video encoder program, does a much better job than FFMPEG in transcoding videos, although it is a bit difficult to use and learn.
Now, let's take a look at MPlayer's magic. The following command plays a stream URL after resampling it to 48,000Hz and combining channels into left-right stereo:
$ mplayer -af lavcresample=48000,hrtf ↪'http://mp3.streampower.be/radio1-mid.mp3'
The following command grabs the same URL stream and dumps it to a file named stream.aac:
$ mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile stream.aac ↪-softvol -softvol-max 2000 -af ↪lavcresample=48000,volnorm=2:0.5 ↪'http://mp3.streampower.be/radio1-mid.mp3'
You can open the stream file from another terminal window with this command:
$ mplayer stream.aac
Then what happens? The first instance of MPlayer continues to dump the network stream to a file and the second plays it for you—time-shifted Internet radio. Cool, eh?
Most of the switches are not necessary to accomplish this, but they show MPlayer's ability to use the Linux command line so elegantly. The -softvol and -softvol-max switches invoke the software volume control feature of MPlayer. It reduces the signal-to-noise ratio, but it can amplify the signal to very high levels.
The volnorm=2:0.5 filter invokes the volume normalization audio filter. The first argument, 2, specifies that several samples are to be used to smooth the volume variations. The 0.5 sets the maximum amplitude to which you want the volume normalized. As you can see, MPlayer provides a high level of customization.
The other options on the command line should not be difficult to decipher.
The following is a command similar to the first one above. In this case, however, you specify a playlist URL. Unlike the above command, this one may not work for you, depending on whether the file happens to be available from the SHOUTcast site when you try it:
$ mplayer -af lavcresample=48000,hrtf -playlist ↪'http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn ↪=1025&file=filename.pls'
The -playlist option is used only with stream URLs that have a .pls extension in the stream.
You can create your own playlists in a variety of ways. Here is one way to do it with the find command:
$ find /home/girish/music -name "*mp3 ↪-or -name "*ogg" > ~/playlist.txt
Now, fire up MPlayer with:
$ mplayer -playlist ~/playlist.txt
The following variant shuffles the list and plays songs in random order without repeating songs:
$ mplayer -shuffle -playlist ~/playlist.txt
Naturally, MPlayer is a media player. You don't have to limit yourself to audio files. You could add any MPlayer-playable media file into the mix, including videos, movies, television, radio and, of course, Internet streams.
In addition to this simple line-based playlist format, MPlayer also has excellent support for ASX, M3U and other popular playlist formats.
There is good support for audio effects, and the karaoke effect especially gets interesting with certain songs. It is not perfect, but you can attenuate the voice in a song a great deal. Use the following command to activate karaoke mode:
$ mplayer -af karaoke song.mp3
MPlayer also has a ten-octave band equalizer. The following command ignores the middle frequency bands and amplifies the frequencies around 31.25Hz by 7dB, 62.5Hz by 8dB, 125Hz by 5dB and all of the frequencies around 4, 8 and 16Hz are attenuated by 2dB:
$ mplayer -af equalizer=7:8:5:0:0:0:-2:-2:-2 video.mpg
The following command gives a live effect to playback. Try it with songs that sound monotonous:
$ mplayer -af extrastereo song.mp3
You can issue a command like the following to play the third song five times:
$ mplayer song1.mp3 song2.ogg file.wav -loop 5
If you want to repeat the whole list five times, type the following instead:
$ mplayer { song1.mp3 song2.ogg file.wav } -loop 5
You also can use -loop 0 to play something over and over again.
Additionally, there are many audio effect plugins designed especially for multichannel and 3-D audio. If you want some really advanced audio effects, try the SoX Swiss Army knife. It is another command-line application that excels in professional audio effects.
You can specify multiple audio filters on the command line and they are applied one after another in a chain.
What if you like a certain audio filter chain and you want to save the resulting audio to a file? The following command saves the output of filtering to the file named filtered.wav rather than playing it:
$ mplayer -ao pcm:file=filtered.wav -channels 4 -af lavcresample=48000,hrtf,pan=2:1:0:0:0.3:0.5:0.5:0:12 audio.ogg
The lavcresample filter resamples the frequency of audio.ogg to 48,000Hz.
The pan filter is a very powerful and sophisticated filter. It mixes the input audio channels into the specified output channels in various amplitudes.
In this example, we use the -channels switch to specify four input channels. The first argument to pan is 2 to specify two output channels. In the first pair of arguments after that, the 1:0 specifies the amplitude of the first input channel that is fed into the two output channels. It goes into the left channel with an amplification factor of 1. The second input channel goes into the right channel with an amplification factor of 0.3 (0:0.3), and the third input channel is divided equally into both output channels (0.5:0.5). The fourth channel goes into the right channel with an amplification factor of 12.
You can use the following command to re-encode the WAV file to Ogg:
$ oggenc -q 9 filtered.wav

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Football season is fast approaching and with it those glorious games between teams that love to hate each other, which we call rivalries.
I'm speaking, of course, about sports hate – the only beautiful kind. It's the stuff built on history and tradition that inspires simply the fiercest and most entertaining games of every season.
Palo Pinto County and the surrounding area have no shortage of fierce football rivalries.
The University Interscholastic League's realignment often causes new rivalries to be born and old ones to be rekindled. But which rivalries are the area's very best for 2014? The one's you circle your calendar for and make sure you don't miss.
I can think of at least 10.
So, for what it's worth, here's my list of the area's best, can't-miss football rivalries of the upcoming 2014 season.
Mineral Wells Women's Bowling Alliance invites you to join them Aug. 3 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Mountaineer Lanes for their second annual Bowlers Roundup. The event will feature snacks, tips from the pros, information on league bowling and two hours of great exercise.
Mineral Wells is well known as the home of Crazy Water, and by all accounts the city's swim team went absolutely berserk in their one and only home meet of the summer on Saturday.
Throughout the summer, the Mineral Wells Rams have been hard at work preparing for football season.
In the Holiday Hills Country Club Guys and Dolls tournament, locals Denny and Sherry Hall turned in rounds of 77 and 73 to take first place in the opening round and second place on Sunday in the fourth flight. George and Linda Hutton turned in two solid rounds to place both days. The twosome shot 71 and 72 to take first place on Saturday and second place on Sunday in the second flight.
GRAPEVINE – The Mineral Wells High School cheerleaders attended the Universal Cheerleaders' Association's cheer camp in Grapevine two weeks ago and proved that spirit will definitely be high at every Rams and Lady Rams sporting event this coming school year.
MILLSAP – The board of trustees at Millsap ISD recently announced their hire of Denise Lee as the new head volleyball coach for Millsap High School.


text: From the complex compounds in your bike's tires to the alloys in the engine and gasoline in the tank, your motorcycle is an excellent example of how 118 known elements can be combined to create an endless variety of substances. This month's Gear spread contains a sample of the new products chemists have concocted for the greater good of motorcycling. Maxima Chain Cleaner The can says chain cleaner, but we know from first-hand experience that this stuff works equally well on wheels, bodywork and engine parts. Maxima's chain cleaner doesn't contain any caustic chemicals yet cuts through grease, grime, brake dust and bug guts with ease. The emulsified mixture rinses off with water, but we've found that leaving a little residue helps keep dirt from sticking. Pick up a can for $9.50 and see for yourself. www.maximausa.com Race Tech Fork Oil Quality oil is the final ingredient in an optimized fork, and Race Tech's Ultra Slick fork oil is touted as some of the best. Race Tech's 5-weight fork oil is blended according to their own recipe to provide the slickest fluid possible. Reduced friction means improved suspension compliance and better handling, as well as reduced component wear and more consistent performance between rebuilds. Ultra Slick oil sells for $29.99 a liter. Most modern forks require about 1500ml for a complete overhaul. www.racetech.com Amsoil Break-In Oil Whether your bike is brand new or newly rebuilt, you want to make sure it is properly broken-in. Formulated without friction modifiers but with added zinc and phosphorous anti-scuff agents, Amsoil's break-in oil protects critical engine components while facilitating piston ring seating for improved power and reduced oil consumption. It's slippery enough to lubricate main bearings, transmission components, camshaft lobes and lifters, but not so slick that it prevents piston rings, cylinder walls and other microscopically rough-machined surfaces from seating correctly. Treat your bike to a proper break-in for $7.15 a quart. www.amsoil.com Vp T4 Gasoline The chemists at VP Fuels are proud to introduce T4, a 100-octane pour-in replacement for premium pump gas. This unleaded performance fuel is safe for use with catalytic converters and offers excellent detonation protection for high-revving engines. VP says T4 improves power output and throttle response, while the consistency of the ethanol-free blend provides increased tuning ability. Like all VP performance fuels T4 isn't legal for use on the road, so save it for your track bike. Pick up a 5-gallon container for your next off-highway outing for $60. www.vpracingfuels.com 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Ari Henning Enjoyed this Post?

Note Taking
Stick to the "three source" rule of thumb. Always use at least three sources for your research.
It's okay to use common phrases in your writing. Teachers understand that you are learning new vocabulary and expressions and that you want to use what you've learned in your reading and research. Improving your note-taking skills is the key to avoiding accidental plagiarism.
Here are some tips to good note-taking that will help you avoid plagiarism:
Practise Note Taking
You can use pages from EnglishClub.com to practise taking notes. Here are some example notes taken from the reading The Disappearing Honey Bee:
My source: "The Disappearing Honey Bee" | EnglishClub.com | May 10, 2009
If you want to use a direct quote, write it down exactly as it appears. In your notes write down the information you need so that you can reference it properly:
"One third of America's food supply is pollinated by the honey bee." http://www.englishclub.com/environment/honeybee-reading.htm
Continue note taking: Now follow the rule of thumb for sources. Research CCD and the decline of the honeybee from at least two other places. After you take more notes, write a paragraph or essay on the topic in your own words. Practise using at least three direct quotes. When you are done, write out your reference page.

FT. LAUDERDALE — The Hall of Generals. Peyton Manning, the quarterback whose gallery displays scenes of spectacular glory and collapsing, puzzling defeats. How should witnesses judge the collection? And what other commanders featured in the wing have travelled such a strange and similar way?
You think of Napoleon and his cannons, his strange résumé of battles. Line them up and eye the counterbalance of work — on one end it's victories at Jena and Friedland and Austerlitz, the general defending the glories of France and its colors; at the opposite end you find his misery in Russia and that wretched, frozen retreat, half a million lost … and finally, to the depths of Waterloo. Epics, all of them, magnificent in their drama and grandeur.
So how should Napoleon, "Le Petit Caporal," be monumented for his performance in the big ones — overall, a winner or loser? It's a puzzling riddle.
"I used to say of him," Britain's Duke of Wellington once remarked, "that his presence on the field made the difference of forty thousand men."
We've heard similar things said about the quarterback.
• • •
Last summer I called Colts president Bill Polian and politely implied that he didn't have enough weaponry to support his aging superstar, that Manning deserved better, and management should spring the checkbook for some free-agent mercenaries that would lend him a fighting chance.
Polian politely brushed it off. "We're happy with the players we have, thank you, and we think Peyton will be throwing the ball for the Colts a long time," and that was that.
Obviously there was enough happiness around for Manning to reach another title bout this year, but not enough to get past a Saints club that was a little bit deeper on offense and a little stickier on its pass coverages and a little zippier on special teams. Manning played well in the game. Yeah, he looked like himself out there. But now, at age 33, he's 1-1 in the Super Bowl round with how many cracks left to go?
He was the premier thrower in the SEC of the 1990s, and the No. 1 overall draft choice out of Tennessee. In Peyton's championship shot, the 1998 Orange Bowl, Nebraska drilled him to pieces, 42-17. He had thrown for 3,819 yards and 37 TDs that year. It took an OK passer named Tee Martin to lift the Volunteers to the crown — a year later. Puzzling.
As a pro he has played a close-second cello to Tom Brady, until 2006, when he stiffed the Patriots with a late drive to grab the AFC championship, his finest hour. The Super Bowl thing against Chicago felt like punctuation, but it finally added the necessary polish, the gemstone, to his career.
And all along it has been passing marks smashed and statistics heaped and comparisons made (Montana, Johnny U., Marino?), and my lord, what a master he has been.
But when you looked at the difference between Manning and Drew Brees last Sunday, you saw that Brees' receivers were sometimes reaching and lunging to make their grabs, while Manning was again nearly perfect in his passes, that robotic placement and delivery. He'll ace you every time in drill inspections. Until he fired that bad ball, the one the Saints took back the other way. Brees took the trophy.

Much later, after XLIV had been put away, I sat on my hotel balcony and stared over at the darkened property next door. It was a high-rise beach condo, nearly abandoned by the crumpled economy. Most units were vacant, just traces of financial survivors who were able to hang on to their mortgages. Scars of disrepair had invaded the place — weeds, rust, a cracking, emptied pool and such.
And outside stood a lone figure in a pressed white shirt and pants, dutifully pacing the grounds. It was the night watchman — awaiting intruders who never come. Sometimes he'd twist a water valve, or pace the decking. But most often he just gazed into the night, thinking, reliving, other times just letting the mind fall away.
Hours later I woke up and looked out to see if he'd given up. But there he was, still holding his long stare out over the black water. A man faithful to his post.
I'll bet Manning feels more like that poor watchman than a general these days. I'll bet he's thinking a lot. Another grand expedition has shut down, the never-ending waves there in front of him, crashing away, with no foes on the horizon. The triumphs … the upsets … the pins and the medals of honor … all wrapped inside the loneliness of command.

In her Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel Swamplandia!, Karen Russell created a startling world of phantasmagorical lusciousness in a Florida alligator theme park. As she had in her first book — a highly regarded story collection memorably called St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves — the Miami native mixed magical reality and the supernatural with a sharp, contemporary wit and a side of delicious creepiness. It was a blend that felt wholly her own.
She's done it again in Vampires in the Lemon Grove, eight stories that insinuate themselves into your brain with their slightly off or downright apocalyptic viewpoints. She writes with a vivid sureness that stamps her name on every sentence. And at 31, she's probably not even at the peak of her powers.
Any follow-up to Swamplandia! was bound to be tough, but rather than plunging into another full-length novel, Russell smartly followed the formula that worked for her before, pulling together a dizzying group of stories that elbow each other to be leader of the pack. The collection serves her well; her imagination is once again on full, Technicolor, mind-bending display.
And if it's a bit uneven at times, the collection still feels effortless, generated by a restless, demonically clever imagination. If this is a sampling of what goes on in Russell's head, it must be pretty interesting in there.
There are some standouts. The title story, about a vampire marriage on the rocks after a mere 100 years because the husband is now afraid of flying, will make fans of Russell's writing smile with recognition. The scenes of a grounded vampire trying to slake his thirst with cast-off lemons in an old Italian grove are simultaneously poignant and ominous.
In Reeling for the Empire, set sometime vaguely in the future, Japanese women are sold by their families into servitude by a fast-talking Recruitment Agent in a slowly unveiled horror story. Held in a secret brick building called the Nowhere Mill, the women, tricked into swallowing a magical potion, become part human, part caterpillar, spinning rainbow-colored silken threads for the national good — until they figure out a way to turn the tables on their captor.
Not every story is set in a fantastical reality. One that strikes closer to home, The New Veterans, focuses on an emotionally fragile massage therapist who, through a new government program, begins to give a series of massages to an even more damaged Iraqi war veteran. Consumed with guilt for failing to spot a trip wire for a bomb that killed a member of his platoon, the vet has tattooed that fateful day's explosion on his back in brilliant color as a memorial. The therapist learns that she can manipulate his memories, even erase them, through massage. But then she begin to experience war flashbacks for events she didn't witness.
Russell's inventiveness is evident throughout the stories. One of her gifts is a sure-footed ability to take modern prosaic language and apply it to extreme situations, such as her exploration of "Antarctic tailgating," where she instructs readers how to get ready for the big game. (First, take eight months off from work. Notarize your will. Pack on a beer gut that can make the difference between life and death. Kill your plants and release your cat. As she says, "Antarctic tailgaters know exactly how hard it is to party.")
And in The Barn at the End of Our Term, Russell plays with the idea of reincarnation of former presidents. In this case, the presidents come back as horses. Rutherford B. Hayes is a pinto with "a golden cowlick and a cross-eyed stare." Andrew Jackson is a stocky black quarterhorse, while John Adams is a thoroughbred with four white socks. They elect themselves to various barnyard posts: Spokeshorse of the Western Territories, Governor of the Cow Pastures, Commanding General of the Standing Chickens. Once a politician, always a politician, apparently.
In Russell's stories, the bizarre becomes normal, even commonplace, creating a tension that drives each piece. It's a killer combination — this whopper of an imagination coupled with an instinct for the guts of a story. If Vampires in the Lemon Grove is an indicator of the future, Russell's stories will be seizing our imaginations — and nibbling at the edges of our nightmares — for years to come.

Our bodies are 60 % water, that means when the temperatures soar like in recent days we can quickly become depleted without even knowing it.
Making sure to stay hydrated is key in avoiding heat related illnesses.
When its this hot anything outside can be a chore, and that includes keeping your body hydrated.
"Dehydration is one of the major contributing factors to heat related illness," Dr. Ryan Stanton, the Medical Director of Emergency Services at UK.
We all know a good ole glass of H2O is refreshing, but is it the best option?
Take a stroll down the sports drink aisle and there a lot of options all clamoring to quench your thirst.
Some boast extra electrolytes, others vitamins even antioxidants, but are they better than water?
"What we prefer is water, some electrolyte solutions such as Gatorade, Powerade, some type of drink like that."
What Dr. Stanton says you do want to avoid is drinks that have high amounts of sugar.
Sugar, he says actually helps to dehydrate you faster.
It used to be we were told to drink four eight ounce glasses of water a day.
Dr. Stanton says that differs for every person based on size and what they are doing in the heat.
The best advice, he says just listen to your body.
"This is the important thing, your body will tell you when you need to drink more."
Dr. Stanton says in Lexington so far they are only seeing a handful of heat related cases.

Somewhere over a rack of artsy clothing, unique jewelry, kooky cards, yodeling pickles and fire-breathing wind-up nun toys, there's a bittersweet milestone that Priscilla Bahr has reached.
After 40 years of calling Fair Haven her business home, she is closing the doors on her cozy, eclectic River Road boutique, Nature's Emporium, at the end of February.
What's next for Bahr? She's not quite sure yet. But what has now become her short-term future that somehow arrived with the speed of an overnight shipment of store merchandise is peppered with the irony of excitement for a new phase in life and nostalgic fear of the unfamiliar.
It's the same for generations of lifetime, loyal customers, too.
Word got out that the place people from miles around came to know as where to go when you want a gift or treat for yourself that no one else will have will soon be gone. Since then, customers have been stopping in to offer Bahr many hugs and good wishes blended with teary "Please don't go(s)!"
"I'm just so grateful for the wonderful customers I've had and truly come to love over the years," Bahr said. "I just can't thank these people and my fellow business associates in Fair Haven enough. They've played such a major role in a fabulous life here (at Nature's Emporium)."
And that life has been a very long one. Bahr started out setting up shop in the early 1970s in a corner of what used to be The Black Sheep, which encompassed the entire building that now houses her shop and Blue Stove Antiques.
The Black Sheep, along with Bahr's nook, was and is forever known as the one-of-a-kind place to go for all sorts of hand-crafted leather goods, like sandals and belts, as well as jewelry and, of course, Nature's unique clothing and chachkis.
Then the time came for Black Sheep owner Lee Yarnell to move on, so Bahr ended up taking over the one side of the building as Nature's Emporium.
And the store and her special blend of merchandising has always been a, well, natural for Bahr.
From the street you can't help but notice the window displays, always flush with car-stopping clothing, handbags, jewelry and goodies you just don't typically see anywhere else.
And, for decades, a trip inside is like a visit down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. Soothing blend of music in the background, Bahr is always there to greet with a warm smile and lots of goodies.
"Thank God for Nature's Emporium!" a customer visting recently said as she swept into the store in a panic looking for a last minute gift.
Bahr pops her head out from behind a display of bandages that look like strips of bacon, breakfast food-flavored dental floss, scarves and handmade soaps. She smiles and asks the forever patron what she's looking for. And, within minutes, a gift no one else will bring to the party is found.
In another corner, a customer is oogling over boxes of chocolate covered orange peels, pecan food glazes, candles and a batik dress.
And in the back of the store, someone is always laughing over a crazy card or book. Being there is akin to taking a trip like none other, alright.
Just when you think you've seen it all, when you find yourself at the counter ready to tally up, there's always something else to add to the bag, like a glitzy little costume jewelry ring or a set of angel stickers or a refrigerator magnet more beautiful and quirky than a pricey painting.
But, Bahr said, you can't buy the kind of experience she's had as a business owner in Fair Haven.
Priceless. That's how she described her Nature's lifetime. "I don't know what's ahead for me yet," Bahr said. "I do know, though, that another journey is coming. And if it's as good as this last one, I'll consider myself very blessed."
"Closing Sale," says the giant red and white sign in the store window. Everything in the store must go by Feb. 28 — everything except the keepsake Nature's memories and goodies Bahr and her customers take with them.
Next time you put on that special Nature's outfit, reach for a bacon strip bandage or set off that yodeling pickle for a good laugh, it's Bahr's hope that you remember it came from a heartfelt spot.
"Thank you!," she said. "Stop by and see me before I go. I'm sure I can find something special in here for you to take with you on your own next journey."

New Castle News
Several meetings are planned in Lawrence County to address Marcellus Shale issues.
The meetings address progress, zoning issues and other concerns. The sessions are:
•North Beaver Township — The supervisors will conduct a public hearing at 3:45 p.m. Monday at the municipal building on Mount Jackson Road. Under consideration will be a conditional use request for a natural gas-fired electric generation plant on Edinburg Road. The approval is needed for plans of LS Power of St. Louis to build the plant on the former American Cyanamid property off Route 551.
•The Lawrence County Economic Development Corp. — The agency's annual meeting at noon Nov. 7 will focus on Marcellus On Main Street, an online directory designed to connect local businesses with the natural gas industry. Reservations must be made with the corporation's office by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. The meeting is open only to the board and members of the organization. It is not open to the public.
•Pulaski Township — The supervisors will conduct a public hearing at 7 p.m. Nov. 8 at the municipal building on Route 208. Two conditional use requests by Hilcorp Energy Co. for horizontal wells on Route 208 and Valley View Road will be addressed.
•Slippery Rock University — A three-member panel will discuss the ripple effect of Marcellus Shale in the region at a public symposium Nov. 13. The 12:30 p.m. program is part of the university's school of business ongoing examination of Marcellus Shale development in the region. It will be in the Advanced Technology and Science Hall. It is co-sponsored by SRU's school of business advisory council.
Previous programs at the university focused on safety and environmental issues concerning gas well drilling.
The upcoming session will examine potential for job growth, both in positions tied to the drilling, and jobs in related areas, including well servicing, resultant pipeline construction and operations, and opportunities in schools, retail and wholesale businesses and general service industries.
Panelists will be Luke Marsh, Marcellus/Utica program leader with the AMEC engineering firm; Russell Huffmyer, lead project manager with Heckmann Corp.; and Amelia Roncone, general manager with the northeast division of Specialty Oilfield Solutions.
Anthony Cialella, vice president for energy services at Advanced Waste Services, will serve as moderator. Cialella is a member of the advisory council.
According to information provided by the university, estimates of recoverable natural gas trapped in the deep shale deposits have been as high as 500 trillion cubic feet. It's been estimated that up to 211,000 jobs directly and indirectly related to Marcellus Shale will be created in the coming decade as drilling and recovery operations come to the commonwealth.
The drilling process involves standard oil and gas drilling, then adds horizontal drilling and hydrofracturing to release the trapped gas.

Southern Hemisphere Premiere
We were lucky enough to host stop one on TCP world tour in Sydney on September 21st, with three of the movies stars in attendance; Zach Leach, JJ Thomas, Sam Luebke.
After the riders did the round of obligatory TV interviews, the night kicked off at the Academy Twin cinema in Oxford St, Paddington. The 240 retailers, media, representatives from the snow industry and snowboarders were milling in the foyer sucking back Corona's and devouring hot dogs. Eventually everyone filed into the cinema for the big screen premiere. The reception from those at the event was awesome, everyone appreciating a very unique approach to a snowboarding flick.
The premiere was followed by an after party just down the road at Ruby Rabbit. The DJ played until the early hours to a crowded dance floor fuelled on vodka-Red Bulls. More than one retailer commented on what a great act Oakley has developed in snow, not only in events and the movie, but the team which represents us.

The real South of France
Modern comfort in the heart of ancient Pezenas in the Languedoc! Our charming 3-bed house is constructed from ancient stone and has original features but has also been recently redecorated. The house comfortably sleeps seven people. There is a comfortable lounge, well-equipped kitchen, shower room / toilet downstairs, and toilet / washroom upstairs. A roof terrace looks out over the ancient rooftops and surrounding countryside and is a perfect place for evening drinks.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels. It comfortably sleeps up to 7 people, in three double bedrooms (one of the bedrooms has both a double and single bed). On the ground level are the lounge, kitchen, one double bedroom, and a shower-room/toilet. On the first floor are two further double bedrooms, one with its own shower, and the other with an additional single bed. There is also a second small bathroom with wash-basin and toilet. The roof terrace is accessed by an outside staircase from this level.
The house is equipped with washing machine, cooker, fridge/freezer, and electric convector heating. There is TV with French channels, a DVD player and a small selection of discs, and internet WiFi.
The upstairs bedrooms are large with original tiled floors and large French windows looking out over the old town. All three bedrooms, as well as the lounge, are equipped with ceiling fans.
Bed linen, towels, and a good selection of cooking equipment, crockery and cutlery are provided.
Dine under the stars
The tiled roof terrace is accessed by an outside staircase from the first floor. It is the perfect place to watch the sun set with an aperitif, or to enjoy al fresco dining under the stars. The terrace is high however, and not suitable for small or unsupervised children.
Welcome to Pezenas
Pezenas is an interesting medieval town situated mid-way between Montpellier and Beziers in the Languedoc, southern France. The town was important in the 15th and 16th centuries, being the provincial capital of the Languedoc region, and receiving visits from the court of Louis XIV. Moliere, the famous French playwright, started his career here.
The town has many grand houses where nobility lived or stayed, many of which have lovely courtyards hidden behind deceptively plain facades. The old part of the town is interwoven with twisting cobbled streets leading up to the site where the castle once stood. In the summer evenings many little "eschoppes" (shops!) display handcrafted items in the old streets, and there are often carnivals or fetes taking place.
Markets, food and shopping
Every Saturday Pezenas has a visiting market, which almost fills the town with stalls selling … everything! Shops, bakeries, pharmacies, newsagents, hairdressers, etc are all available, as well as supermarkets in the new part of the town. Pezenas is well known for its antique shops (brocantes) selling everything from antique linens and laces, to china and glass, and furniture.
The town has a wide variety of cafes and restaurants, most of which are within easy walking distance of the house, with several in the old town square just a two-minute walk away. There are also municipal parks and a public swimming pool.
Between mountains and sea
The town is located on the coastal plain, set in beautiful wine country midway between the Mediterranean coast (15 miles) and the Cevennes mountain range (equally 15 miles), so a wide range of scenery and activities is available.
Visits to fabulous beaches, Crusader castles, historic market towns, vineyards, lakes and caves, and bustling fishing ports, are all within in an easy drive through beautiful countryside. Slightly further afield, within a couple of hours' drive are Roquefort, the Camargue, the famous Millau bridge, ancient Nimes with its Roman amphitheatre and the "Pont du Gard" – to name but a few possibilities.
Activities / Sports
There are plenty of opportunities for sport and other activities within easy reach of Pezenas and here are a few ideas. Golfers have seven top class golf courses to choose from in the Montpellier / Beziers / Cap d'Agde area including two within minutes of sandy Mediterranean beaches (Golf du Cap d'Agde and Golf du la Grande-Motte) and one close to thermal spas in the Orb Valley (Golf du Lamalou-les-Bains). All have restaurant and bar facilities.
Canoes can be hired on the river Herault at the Pont Diable en route to St Guilhem Le Desert, and windsurfers or sailing equipment at the resort of Cap d'Agde. If you have your own equipment, you can sail off the coast or on Lake Salagou in the nearby hills. If you'd prefer to let someone else take the helm, take a boat trip from the coast or go on a sea fishing trip from Grau d'Agde.
There are plenty of other fun activities including karting or a trip to the water-park Aqualand or the aquarium in Montpellier, or a barge trip along the Canal du Midi, or cycling, or walking……..too many to mention!
Languedoc – The real South of France
The Languedoc region is a gem that is frequently overlooked. The Herault region has a wild and rugged beauty running down from the plateaux of the Garuigue,through the Gorges of the rivers Tarn and Herault, across a narrow coastal plain to long sandy beaches, and the blue Mediterranean. Here is history: with castles and fortresses of the Templars, the Crusaders, the land of the Cathars, and the Greek settlement of Agde.
Here is the largest wine growing area of France, now boasting many internationally known vintages, as well as superb and inexpensive "vin de table". Here is wonderful cuisine, local cheese, fresh fish, and seafood from the oyster beds at the saltwater lagoon, the Etang de Thau.
The Languedoc enjoys the widest span of sunshine hours in all France, good for the grapes, and good for the beach!
We had a great holiday in Pezenas. The house was beautifully situated in the old town...and the roof terrace was terrific. We were very comfy and happy staying in this traditional property.
Julian and Helen's communication prior to the visit was highly efficient and helpful.
We would not hesitate to recommend this property to other Airbnb guests.We would definitely stay there again.
Helen and Julian's apartment in Pezenas is an absolute gem. It is extremely well-appointed and spotlessly tidy. With two bathrooms, this spacious apartment was ideal for two couples. It had everything we needed for self catering and to ensure a most comfortable stay – and the views from the terrace are amazing.
This is such a great location right in the old historic centre but easy to access and with car parking. It is also well situated for trips further a field with many highlights within easy reach - and then you return home to a convivial evening on the terrace reviewing the day.
We can't speak more highly of our helpful and attentive hosts who certainly went the extra mile to ensure we had all the information we needed to find our accommodation, to settle in quickly and then to explore the area. Julian was always prompt in replying to our email inquiries.
Our week in Pezenas was an unforgettable experience enhanced by the generosity of our hosts. We can't recommend this apartment highly enough if you want very comfortable accommodation in an excellent location.
Well, what can I say? Thanks so much for such a great review ! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We love the house and area, and its very gratifying when others do to. We hope the rest of your trip went well, and we also hope that you may choose to return to Pezenas in the future. Thank you Charles, Julian.
Fantastic home, fantastic owner. Their hospitality is outstanding. The house, the town the landscape is amazing.
Our stay in Pezenas was absolutly amazing. The house is everything and more than described. It was clean, and everything was in order and more. The host was more than willing to help and guide us around in the town and the arear around Pezenas. Pezenas is a fantastic town, with everything. Close to then beach, and river to swim in. We can NOT say anything negativ about our stay in the wonderfull house, and the sweet and helpfull host. We can really recomend this house for an unforgettable vecation in suthern France.

The Valdosta Daily Times
Delta Chi, a fraternity at Valdosta State University, will host the 2013 Joshua Dykes Memorial Softball Tournament at Freedom Park in Valdosta on Saturday.
This year, though, all proceeds of the event will benefit four-year-old Addison Seacrist, who was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia with positive Philadelphia chromosome in September.
"We found (Addison) through Zack Dykes; his brother is Joshua Dykes," Justin Woods, a Greek Life intern at the university said.
"The tournament is for his kid, so he can have a college fund. But this year, we are giving all the money to Addison."
The tournament will be held at Freedom Park and is open to all members of the community, ages 18 and over.
A men's and women's bracket is available for the tournament. Currently, there are more than 15 men's teams registered for the event.
"I think it is real special when the college gets involved in the community," Woods said.
"It is always good to know when your community is behind you. I feel like it is one of those things where we aren't just here to go to college, but here to benefit the community."
Teams can be added through the remainder of the week.
The cost is $200 per team and the winning team will receive a trophy and t-shirts.
Seacrist, who will throw out the first pitch to Saturday's tournament, was diagnosed in September. Since then, various organizations have stepped up to help raise money for the family.
During the Valwood Valiants' football state championship game in December, money was raised to help offset medical cost for the Seacrist family. Addison was an honorary captain for the state championship game against Westwood.
Through Saturday's event, the Delta Chi fraternity is looking to raise more than $10,000.
Sponsorships are available to the event. Interested persons should contact Chip Bowen at (229) 325-9591 or Zach Dykes at (229) 834-8601.
