Amanda Kloehr doesn't remember what exactly caused her car to smash into the back of a stopped semi on a New Jersey highway in 2008.
"It could have been texting, talking on the phone, using the radio or working the windows," Kloehr, 24-years-old, said Monday morning above the din of the New York State Thruway in southern Yonkers.
What Kloehr does recall are the 20 surgeries it took recover from the accident, and the snapped ankle and plastic eye she now lives with every day.
Kloehr spoke out just off I-87 Monday about the dangers of distracted driving. Her warning to drivers of all ages comes just as police around the nation kick off an initiative to curb the dangerous—and sometimes fatal—habit.
"All the states will be enacting a high visibility campaign targeting distracted driving behaviors," explained Mark Savage, a Major with Colorado State Police, shortly after Kloehr shared her story. "It's over the next seven days."
The continent-wide "Operation Safe Driver Week" officially began Sunday, Oct. 14, and will run through Oct. 20. The initiative focuses on the basic rules of the road, how to navigate around larger vehicles, how to stamp out aggressive behavior, and distracted driving.
Savage, also president of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), noted text messaging is not the only cause of distracted driving, however.
"It can be eating, grooming, talking on the phone—any type of behavior that distracts you from your primary focus," Savage said.
"If we don't change the behavior, we're going to be dealing with a lot more than a plastic eye and a snapped ankle," Kloehr added, a message especially aimed at teenage drivers. A recent survey revealed that 58-percent of high school seniors and 43-percent of juniors had sent text messages or emails while behind the wheel, just in the previous month.
Kloehr's accident marries one of the road's most dangerous aspects—distracted driving—with another hazard: tractor trailers. Nearly 4,000 people are killed and another 100,000 others are injured in truck and bus crashes on the nation's highways each year, most of which are preventable, officials said Monday.
Savage noted police in the Lower Hudson Valley, along with forces through the U.S., Canada and Mexico, will step up enforcement this week. Ticketing will also be coupled with a public service announcement blitz.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cooler temperatures forced folks across the Charlotte area to whip out the jackets and long sleeves on Monday.
A cold front moved into the area Saturday afternoon bringing showers, and the cold weather spilled into the start of the work week.
Monday's highs were expected to reach the mid 50s with light, spotty showers in afternoon.
"It's just going to be a chilly day today," said First Warn Storm Team's Larry Sprinkle. "Overcast, but certainly not an all afternoon wash out by any means."
The average high is 73, but the metro area did not get into the 60's, Sprinkle noted.
The chance for rain Monday night is 40 percent, with lows in the mid-40s.
53° is the record minimum high temperature for today set in 2000. There is a chance we could tie that. #cltwx— Brad Panovich (@wxbrad) October 8, 2012
Some sun will return by Tuesday. Highs will be in the 60s. The Charlotte area will see more sunshine for the second half of the week, with lower 70s each afternoon.
"We will see an improvement with our weather situation but it's going to take a couple of days for all that to happen," added Sprinkle.
Download the free Charlotte Weather app to track the showers and cooler temperatures this weekend. Just search 'Charlotte Weather' in your app store.

My son attended Bradshaw for two years and we had issues right away. Teaching and administrative staff know nothing about early childhood development. They recommend special needs testing to any child that doesn't "fit in" with the way these untrained teachers feel kids should act. Heaven forbid your 4 year old like to run around. FAR FAR too much teaching staff turn over. The good teachers leave and they replace them with new people who have no idea what they are doing. I have removed my child from the school for a more positive school with a trained staff.
This school is different than from any other school you'll ever send your child to. First of all, it's sheltering. It shelters you from the outside world. Your child will soon be behind in academics because they provide low classes that don't challenge you. The teachers are terrible. The only GOOD teachers are the two math teachers, and one english teacher. The rest are just awful. They've hired many subs before, all without knowing anything of the subject, for months on end, just so they would "teach" the class. The demerit system is awful, and the Dean of the school? Don't even get me started. This school is just, awful. They degrade people who are different. They don't allow you to be yourself, if you are getting in the way of their authority. If you seem to be different, they put a magnifying glass on you and use the, "Well you have to do this or you get expelled." They wouldn't even let a teacher be homosexual, so he felt the immense pressure and awkwardness to leave. The students, are great, to an extent. This is a sheltering, terrible school. You will be judged. They will shove religion down your throat until you choke. They trick you, deceive you. There's no winning.
This is a great school. My children (now in the 2nd & 3rd grades) have attended since Pre-school. The school continues to focus on academic excellence with a foundation that started at Pre-school. They are a Biblical based Christian school that includes weekly Bible memory verses in addition to all other regular curriculum subjects. The Parent Teacher Fellowship works with the school administration to address issues, suggestions, and future goals of the school in the same way that a PTA would. This is a private school that is growing and as such may have a few growing pains. With that said, the school is truly striving to be a school that offers it s students the best environment and opportunity to excel academically, grow in their faith, and be prepared to face challenges as they move forward. Bulling is not tolerated but our kids are also being taught to work through their issues with each other in a respectful, caring, and Christ like manner. I would recommend this school to anyone that is seeking a more family-involved approach to their children s education. It is well worth the tuition, which is lower than most private schools.
My grandson has been attending school at Bradshaw for almost 4 years. He is getting a real education, in that he's being taught how to think, not just how to take tests. The campus is very safe. As this is a private school, very little misbehavior is tolerated. The curriculum is Christian focused, but follows all State of CA Dept of Ed curriculum guidelines. It feels a little expensive every year I pay his tuition, but the payoff is his excitement about learning. I will do everything possible to keep him in this school.
We have been here since preschool, our daughter has thrived there and is now entering kindergarten. We have had some difficulties at school (who hasn't at any school?) But, we have had our concerns addressed immediately. There are a number of rules that are expressly stated in the handbook. Once again, it is a Christian school, biblically based and that comes with the truth that is the scriptures. We plan to stay through HS. In her classes, there have been a number of mixed race and other than white children, quite diverse population.
Not a good school. Very deceptive! DO NOT send your child here. If you do, you will be disappointed!
Terrible school. Very intolerant of anyone that is different. They also lack the ability to deal with anything that is remotely a challenge.
My 2nd grade daughter was really nervous about going to a new school and making new friends at her first year at BCS. It seemed as if all of the families were very close and knew each other quite well. I volunteered at many school events in the time we were there and I had no parent even attempt to speak to me. They only associated with each other, and their kids were the exact same way. My daughter was being bullied to the point where she'd fake being sick when recess came so she could go to the office and wouldn't have to face the other kids. My daughter was going to the front office nearly everyday because she was getting bullied, and the office administration did nothing but point fingers at me for allowing her to not deal with the bullies herself. All of this happened within two months, and we immediately decided that any public school would be better than this school that was claiming to preach God's word. As soon as she transferred to public school, she was EXTREMELY behind. My oldest daughter has friends who attend the middle school, and all of them are a much worse influence than any public school kids I've seen. Don't waste your money on BCS, you'll regret it.
This school has a warm and caring atmosphere. My two children have gone there since preschool. We have been very happy. The teachers respond to our concerns quickly if we have them. Many of our friends have kids that attend BCS and love it as well!
The teachers are wonderful. I had read other reviews about children that are struggling will not get help, I have to say I have 3 children attending the middle school and the teachers are going out of their way to help the one child that is struggling. ( Tutoring during lunch hours, after school tutoring) I love this school, the teachers are amazing. It's not perfect, but my children are happy and learning in a wonderful environment.
Not good for our student who was a preschooler. A horrible experience with the teaching staff. Sad and very disappointed in the preschool administration. All teachers should be trained in Diversity..,I will never ever recommend BCS to any parent! And when asked why? I will share my horrible experience regarding our student.! Parents be aware & listen to your children when they come home and tell you about their day at BCS!
Our son has attended Bradshaw ever since he was in pre-school. We love the school, the teachers and the administrators. We have found the staff to be loving and compassionate with the students, and very professional. I work for a school district, yet I choose to have my son at Bradshaw, where he is not only receiving an excellent academic education, but also receives Biblical teaching and has the Christian lifestyle modeled for him by his teachers. But parents need to remember that this is a Christian private school, and a key reason many parents choose Bradshaw is because they teach and affirm basic Christian doctrine as well as teach academics. So if parents or students live lifestyles or promote beliefs that conflict with those teachings, they should not be surprised when the school takes appropriate action. If a parent or student does not agree with the religious teachings at Bradshaw, it may be that this is not the school for you. Just don't try to make the school change to fit your beliefs, because it will not work. God willing, our son will stay at Bradshaw until he graduates high school!
I have sent two sons to Bradshaw Christian High School. The best thing about this school is the positive safe environment, which is why I gladly pay for a private school when public schools are free. The amount of homework greatly depends on how many college level courses they take and the speed of the individual student. I my case my second son took about 1/2 the time for the same class workload (10 versus 20 hours/week). Each student will have credit for about 6 college classes when done. The students were homeschooled before they entered, and I love how classmates and teachers reached out to them. I've seen great friendships form along racial and economic lines. Expect the students to hear a Christian message and be taught those values in most classes, which I think is a big plus. Teachers and coaches care about my kids. Even in this economy the school continues to grow. They do hold students accountable for their actions, another plus. If you as a parent spend time at a function, you will be impressed by how these young adults are kind and personable.
We are currently on our 8th year at BCS. My girls are in 5th and 7th grades, with academics above grade level. The teachers have been absolutely amazing! The homework has been fair. No complaints with the work. I agree with the other comments about the administration. There is A LOT of nepotism. They are narrow-minded. I'm a gay dad with a master's degree in education, yet unable to volunteer as a teacher or be involved in leadership because of my sexual orientation. I'm conservative and in a committed relationship, but because my partner is not female, and of course we don't have have the option to get married, we are excluded from being too involved. I stay because my kids are doing amazing. I love the fact that I've known the other parents all these years and, as my kidsapproach the dating years, I like the fact that I know the boys' families already. The tuition at BCS is cheaper than other schools. It's expensive, but it's a private school.
I'm a Father of two girls at this school. For one, our 2 year old, this is her first school or childcare experience. Our other Daughter is in one of the Kindergarden classes at this school. This is our first year at this school and it is only 2 months into the 2011 school year. I first want to disclaim that I have no ties or affiliations with this school and this review is real and uninfluenced (because I have read other school reviews that I was highly suspicious of both positive and negative). I'm very happy with the school class sizes. Our 2 year old daycare has as many as 3 teachers for less than 20 children. Kindergarden is less then 20 kids for the teacher. Maybe it's the uniforms but the kids just look better also. Theres no troubled looking kids (scraggily dressed, messy hair, unhappy etc). All kids have a smile and get along etc. My kids come home happy also. Flexibility is awesome, I can drop off my kids as early as 6:30 am and pick up as late as 6 pm. Fortunately we don't have to leave our kids 11.5 hours but it's a nice option and the cost is the same. Value is evident; daycare is cheaper here than most other locations we checked and potty training is included.
The school is a true example of how discrimination has taken over school systems. The student handbook states that the school is a non-discriminatory environment-- but excludes sexual orientation. Sexual orientation other than heterosexual is listed as an "immoral" act worthy of disciplinary action and/or being excused from attendance at Bradshaw Christian High School. My son was expelled from the school merely because he stated that homosexuals shouldn't be discriminated against-- and the expressing his opinion on this "immoral" action was enough to be expelled and excused from coming back. My son is not a homosexual but was merely expressing his opinion that HATE shouldn't be taught in the classroom.
We are starting our second year at BCS, and couldn't be happier to have our son out of the public school system. He was not be challenged in public schools, and was being bullied. Now, he's being challenged academically, treated with respect from the administration, teachers and his peers, and is in a safe, loving and welcoming environment. The sports programs are wonderful, there is a strong arts department, the text books are current, brand new, and there are enough for every student. Homework takes no more than an hour on an average night, and sometimes up to two hours. My son is bi-racial and I've never seen, heard or even been given the impression that there is any racism from anyone on the campus. I have no problem with the fundraisers since the money is used to improve the school, and I love being able to volunteer in many areas of the school. Enrolling my son at BCS was one of the best decisions, and I couldn't be happier with the education, and closer relationship with Jesus that he is getting. Roll, Pride, Roll!
We love BCS. Our child is in a quality enviornment with good morals and balance. Certainly the cost and constant fundraisers are tough but the investment is well worth it. Academically...pretty good but as an earlier post commented, if you are struggling there is little support. I think my child would be worse off in the EG public system although probably posting better grades. There is a lot of homework and lack of support for those struggling, the expectations are quite high however my child loves BCS and has made wonderful friendships. Another ealier post made comments about racism among the administrators; I have never hears anyone making racist remarks and it's a good thing I haven't. It's true, sometimes it feels like there is a click with the administrators (close-knit family/friends) but the heart of BCS is not them but the families that surround our children. I have never seen such a supportive network at this large scale. You should see how many families attend academic events in comparison to much larger schools. There is good and bad in everything but the balance scale still leaves me saying...we will too be a BCS alumni family. Go Pride!
This school is not meant for ANY children (families) of color, racist attitudes and behaviors exist. On numerous occasions parents made derogatory statements and comments towards African Americans; one particular member of the school s tight knit family used the N word. The school also allowed a Conferate Flag to be printed in the 2010 year book. When questioned about it, the school administration said it was an oversight but never issued a formal apology beyond an email. I truly believe most Bradshaw Christian staff desires to educate children, I just do not believe the administration knows how to deal with race issues surface, particularly when it s among their own. It seems almost a contradiction to say my daughter academically and socially thieved at Bradshaw. Yet, both years she attended the school, she connected with her peers and a several teachers, establishing friendships that continued into college. Every organization brings good and bad points to the table. I just felt the administration tolerant racism.
We were at this school for several years and left for a variety of reasons. It is a small school with a small view of the world. School adminstration and teachers are not selected for their education or experience. Those in charge of the school are from a small tight knit family/group- teachers outside of that "group" soon leave the school. When we left we found our children were behind in academics.

Comments: I've been running in these for two months and they are great. Well cushioned and very smooth transition. Unlike past support Sauconys I've had, these have a very natural feel and have a lot of support without losing the cushioning or feeling boxy on your feet.

Crews preparing for the construction of an oil pipeline through northeast Nebraska have turned up more than dirt; they found prehistoric artifacts.
Jeff Rauh with the Keystone Pipeline project says a pre-construction crew found the artifacts southwest of Hartington.
He says an archeology company is preparing a report for the Nebraska Historical Society.
During a recent two-week period, archaeological experts found small bones, items that may be arrowheads and an area they believe was a campground.
Archaeologist Terry Steinacker of Nebraska's Fort Robinson State Park says a preliminary report dates the site from 1 A.D. to 900 A.D.
Rauh says the pipeline project is still on schedule, despite the find.

Cheap. Easy to construct. Depending on how clean your roof (water source) is, you could tip the water into an earthen filtering urn inside and drink the rainwater too. This is my plan... always clean and fresh drinking water off grid.
Also, it's possible to pump from a ground-level barrel up to a higher container. There are a number of ways to pump; an electric water pump is an obvious solution, but it can also be done with an aquarium air pump or a windmill-driven pump.
To keep out insects, caulk, glue or silicon a mesh across the tops of the pvc holes.
Sure, a "regular" gutter system might have worked as efficiently, but the traditional rain barrels also don't have enough pressure to water our 2.5' raised bed garden.
I developing a water-delivery system whereby I can connect the 5-gallon containers full of water to the soaker hose in the raised bed garden. Ironically, I can't test the system until it stops raining! ;)
Don't get me wrong the idea is excellent but you have to find a better and stronger materiel.
Thank you for the great Instructable. Very smart idea :)
Great instructable!
This is a creative solution, especially if you don't like heights like me. Other than its appearance (which could be hidden with a hedge, or even a nice garden of bush beans, I see two other issues with your system that anyone thinking of building it might consider.
1. During a hard rain the velocity of the water coming off your roof may fall beyond your catch basin, and if it is also windy, as is often the case during rain storms, the wind may well disperse most of the water before it reaches your catch basin.
2. DIY gutters emptying into barrels may actually be less expensive and won't suffer from the problems listed in 1, but you will have to most likely have to clean them out at least once a year. You can buy both vinyl and aluminum guttering from the home centers in the USA, and it is not expensive. In fact it probably cost less for an equivalent length of your system, is light weight and water tight, and you can often find the blue plastic food-grade barrels on Craig's List for free or very little money.
Also, there is a reason for traditional - it is often the best method.
I've never before thought I needed to trap water but I'm only now beginning an
effort to somehow reduce the water consumption at my house. Your project is
thought provoking. Thanks!
someone commented about "curb appeal".......for those who care about that sort of thing........how about a hinged board to hide the plastic bottles?........would make a nice border.........and plants could be set on top
of the short gutter to get watered........and look pretty
i like the idea of the gutter being @ an angle and draining into one separate
container.......and a hose coming off of the container to water the garden.....or whatever

Otherwise, great instructable, meralgia! I love the idea of having separate containers and how you built the collector
Be careful with the containers that you use.
I have a few dozen containers that look exactly like the above.
When left exposed to the sun, the plastic will become very brittle.
You grab the handle, lift, and then.. CRACK!
The handle comes right off.
HDPE (high density polypropelene) containers will hold up to the sun for several years, based on my experience.
If you have access to a barrel, you can divert water off your "gutter-less" roof with a simple "L" shaped piece of tin and collect this water.
Check out http://www.dannylipford.com/diy-home-improvement/roofing/installing-a-rain-diverter/
Place the barrel high enough to put one of the smaller containers underneath when you want to use the water without lugging the Big Barrell around.
I appreciate your design, it is just a bit too big for my situation.
If you're thinking of replacing a traditional rain barrel, you'll want to cover the top of the unit wit a mesh also, to keep insects and leaves out of your water.
The main advantage I see ini this design is, it's easier to move the full containers to where you need them, rather than having to run garden hoses from the barrel to wherever. Especially on larger properties. Just load the containers onto the tractor, or into the pickup, etc. Much easier than trying to move that 450+lbs. rain barrel.

HPV Vaccine Acceptability Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men

- How to Read a Study Record
The FDA has recently approved Gardasil for the prevention of anal cancer in people aged 9-26. Men who have sex with men (MSM) have disproportionately high rates of anal cancer and could benefit greatly from vaccination. Vaccine uptake among young MSM (YMSM) is poor, and little is known about factors associated with vaccine acceptance in this population. With the risk of anal cancer among MSM higher than the risk of cervical cancer among women before routine cytological screening was introduced, acceptance of a prophylactic vaccine in this subgroup is the most cost-effective and attainable strategy to greatly reduce the prevalence of anal cancer. While the investigators can assume the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has many acceptable concepts among these men, there are multiple barriers which may potentially interfere with their likelihood of initiating the vaccine series. Vaccine catch-up rates among women of a similar age has been poor, and there is no reason to expect this to be higher among men. One potential strategy to increase vaccine uptake in this catch-up group is to implement a patient-driven program to promote vaccination among men.
This project will contribute to the investigators understanding of how the investigators can utilize social networks to identify barriers to HPV vaccination among YMSM, and how to potentially influence a patient-driven vaccination effort to increase uptake among men in the catch-up age group. This research will inform future interventions to targeted populations that may be incorporated into online social networking websites to encourage HPV vaccination.

Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
|Official Title:
|Exploring the Potential for Social Network Site-delivered Interventions to Increase HPV Vaccine Uptake Among Men Who Have Sex With Men
- HPV vaccine acceptability [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary outcome in this study is young men's intention to be vaccinated for human papillomavirus (HPV). This will be measured on a scale of 0-100, with a higher number indicating greater likelihood of future vaccination. No vaccine will be administered.
- Attitudes towards HPV vaccination [ Designated as safety issue: No ]A secondary outcome will be young men's attitudes towards HPV vaccination, including their beliefs about vaccine safety, efficacy, and effectiveness. This outcome will also assess the presence of logistical or pragamatic barriers to their future vaccination.

On a glorious "weather-could-not-have-been-more-perfect evening," the St. Louis lacrosse community congregated at two separate venues to celebrate the industrious lacrosse careers of high school seniors. 32 senior girls took the draw at MICDS and 24 senior boys faced off at St. Louis Priory. For the boys game, players from 13 different schools took the field for one last high school hurrah. Great weather and turnouts for this event. Congratulations to the Class of 2014 on your outstanding accomplishments on and off the field!

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
The Beaches of Agnes is a clever, Surrealist mash-up that chronicles the life and memories of Belgian director/screenwriter/editor/producer Agnes Varda. Employing both documentary and memoir, Varda whimsically stitches together her recollections using photographs, scenes from her films, and playful reenactments that retell her story, from her childhood in coastal France, her success as an influential film maker during the sixties and seventies, to her long marriage to French director Jacques Demy. In addition to being a love letter to the great film makers of French cinema, this is a fun, lively and visually experimental piece that locates the nebulous nature of memory as one of the primary characters.

Article Last Updated: Friday, January 18, 2013 4:26pm
Sam Green/Cortez Journal
Animal Control Officer Lari Ann Pope wraps up a duck wandering near Parque de Vida Wednesday. When the duck pond freezes, the wild ducks fly to new locations with water but there are a few that wander around not knowing what to do and freezing in the cold. Pope suspects they are domestic ducks that were kept as pets until they were too big and then dumped at the park. She relocates the ducks to people who take care of them.

Have not been to clubs or bars, no rating applicable.
I enjoy going out on the weekends and exploring Lexington a little bit more. Parties are pretty fun.
Im a minor i do not ay attention to bars although there are numerous ones.
Unless you are in a sorority or fraternity, it is kind of difficult to find parties, but this year should be better because campus is becoming wet.
there is always something to do and there is always security officers so that nothing happens

If you are an underage student at Kentucky, prepare to get funny looks from bouncers at bars when they eye your fake ID like a UK professor eyes a plagiarized term paper. There will be plenty of house parties around campus to go to, but be prepared for anything. Most students go to apartments first and hit the house parties around 10 or 11 p.m. Staying out until 2 or 3 a.m. isn't unusual, unless the police show up to clear house. If you are of age, Lexington has a wide variety of clubs of various sizes and styles for everyone.
If all else fails, you can always drive to Cincinnati or Louisville to experience the bars and clubs in larger cities. Bar hours in Lexington have been extended from 1 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., so you will actually get the chance to stay out a bit longer than generations of Kentucky students before you.
This bar is smaller and more downtown than near campus, but definitely worth it if you're not looking for an overcrowded night out. Watch for live music performances from the owner, Larry Redmon.

Rosebud Bar and Scarlet Lounge are actually two bars that operate adjacent to one another. Rosebud is usually filled with college students on the weekends, while Scarlet Lounge is a little swankier and tends to cater to a more yuppie crowd (as well as the occasional celebrity). They're both stylish places, though, and the walls are covered with interesting artwork. Cover is usually $5 at the door.

One of the most popular places for UK students, as it has a mix of dancing and just drinking. The cost is average, and there are pool tables and a dance floor, as well as an outside drinking area. There's a bar outside and one inside. The tavern also opens up for a comedy night once a week. Two Keys is nearly a guarantee for a good time. Make sure to get there early as it gets crowded the later it gets.

This popular Irish bar has an atmosphere as laid-back and Irish as Dublin itself. It's owned by an Irishman, employees have the accent . . . overall, the bar has an authentic and eclectic feel. Make sure to get to McCarthy's for a quieter, cozy, Guinness-filled scene.

Every night, after the drinks stop flowing, this dance party opens up to everyone ages 18 and up.

Springfield, Mass. -- April 6, 2013 -- Neal Courter of William & Mary was the big winner by capturing two of the ECAC-EIGL men's gymnastics individual championships tonight at Springfield College's Blake Arena. Ryan Ponce of Springfield College took the still rings to win one for the hosts.
Courter, a freshman from Baton Rouge, La., was tremendous during the evening by winning the floor exercise with a score of 15.150, and the vault by the identical score. He also placed seventh in the high bar with a score of 13.200.
A total of 10 individuals, each of whom qualified last night, competed in the six individual events -- the floor exercise, the vault, the pommel horse, the parallel bars, the high bar, and the still rings.
The Tribe of William & Mary won three of those events -- two by Courter. Also winning for W&M was junior Landon Funiciello (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) in the parallel bars with a score of 14.550.
As mentioned, junior Ryan Ponce (Tolland, Conn.) of Springfield College claimed his specialty, the rings, with a score of 15.750 -- the high score of the night. It was his second such victory in two years. In fact, it has been nearly 30 years since a Springfield College gymnast has been a repeat ECAC-EIGL winner. The last to do so was Jeff Coehlo, also in the still rings, in 1984 and 1985.
The two other winners of the evening were senior Garrek Hojan-Clark of Army in the pommel horse with a score of 15.000, and junior Joseph Hodges of the University of Illinois-Chicago in the high bar with a score of 14.100.
Last night, Temple University earned the team crown, and sharing the all-around championship were junior Kip Webber (Boxborough, Mass.) of Army and junior Daniel Potemski (Round Rock, Tex.) of William & Mary.
For Springfield this evening, senior Chris Jost (Ashland, Mass.) placed fourth in the floor exercise at 14.550. He also finished in ninth place in the vault with a score of 14.100. Senior Jimmy Pezzino (Buffalo, N.Y.) tied for sixth (14.400) in the vault. Freshman Jon Zirna (Buffalo, N.Y.), with a score of 14.200, placed third in the pommel horse, while sophomore Pat Ryther (Boston, Mass.), at 13.800, finished fifth in the same event.
In the parallel bars, senior Kevin Miner (Canton, Conn.) placed sixth (13.500) in the parallel bars, while Ponce took eighth (12.750).
Please see all remaining results attached.

PORTLAND - If you've been to a Blazers game in the past 17 years, then you've heard Mark Mason. He's the Blazers P.A. announcer at the Rose Garden.
Mason won an audition in 1996 to get the job and he has not missed a game yet. The Blazers game against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday was his 700th consecutive NBA regular season game.
"It doesn't seem like it's been that long at all," said Mason. "I love it, are you kidding me? Center court in the NBA?"
It maybe the best seat in the house to see some of the greatest players and games of all-time. But Mason is working, working the microphone.
"The hardest part of my act is everything up to and including the introductions," said Mason. "When the introductions end, it's almost like I can take a breath. That to me is the most fun time, but also the most stressful."
With 41 games a season and 17 seasons, the streak continues, but there have been a few close calls. He's had the odd case of laryngitis and even car trouble.
"A muffler fell off my car once driving in," says Mason. "And I crawled under my car in my suit and I had a coat hanger in the trunk and somehow jerry-rigged the muffler to hang on my car enough to get to the Rose Garden that night." And every other night.
During the day he teams up with Dave Anderson on the "Mark and Dave" show on KEX Radio.
"This is what I've wanted to do since I was a kid, " Mason said. "I would sit in my house doing fake radio shows when I was a kid. Now I'm actually doing it and they are paying me for it."
He loves being on the radio and doing the Blazers game.
"It's work," said Mason, "but it's enjoyable work. And it's so different from the radio show that It's like two different lives. It can happen in the same day, that we have a game and a radio show all the time, but I never get tired of it."

TRAVERSE CITY-- Angie Lucas was sailing near South Manitou Island early one morning when she looked up and saw the island bathed in a sunrise photographers dream about.
"It was just beautiful. It was a really neat moment," said Lucas, 36, who captured the fleeting image on her Canon digital camera.
The result, a smoky-orange undulating fusion of land, sea and sky, won first place in this year's Art of the Watershed photo contest and is featured in an exhibition of winning photos. The show runs through February at The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay on West Bay Shore Drive in Greilickville.
The second annual contest is a fundraiser for the environmental organization, which protects the Grand Traverse Bay's 1,000-square mile watershed, said Advancement Director Denise Baker. Winning entries are featured in a 2013 calendar and are available as framed prints, along with other work by their creators.
"One of the small, fun ways we use to raise money is to celebrate the natural beauty of the region. It's why a lot of us live here and why we love it," Baker said. "Also there are a lot of very artistic people in the region. It's a way to show off the talent of everyday folks like you and me in the Grand Traverse region and celebrate their beautiful work in the calendar."
About two dozen photos were selected for the exhibition, including second-place winner "Bluff Road Sunrise" by Traverse City resident Erin Monahan, third-place winner "Winter Sentinel" by Joel Wegman of Chicago and Glen Arbor, and honorable mention winner "Snowstorm Loon" by Paul May of Glen Arbor.
Baker said some of the images were shot by amateurs on "tiny, rinky-dink" point-and-shoots, others on state-of-the-art cameras by professional photographers like John Gessner and Mark Lindsay. Their work was so special they were given an impromptu award of their own show in May. But all had one thing in common besides calendar quality.
"We don't care what kind of camera they use, what kind of filter they use or what setting, but we do not want people manipulating the image in photo editing software," Baker said. "That puts everybody on a level playing field. It's also a philosophical thing. It's about capturing a very deep but brief moment in nature. We want to celebrate the beauty of nature, not somebody's prowess in Photoshop."
A preserve steward with the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, Lucas has two images in the show, including one taken at the Conservancy's Wilcox-Palmer-Shah Nature Preserve just north of Elk Rapids. The first-time photo contestant said top prize winner "Manitou Sunrise" had been sitting idly in her computer since 2006.
"This will be the first time I'll see it framed — and printed," she said.
Exhibition and sales hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

How journaling app, Path, handles a user's personal information was brought into question yesterday as it was discovered that the company uploads its users address books to its servers, violating their trust. But barely 24 hours later, CEO Dave Morin, released an apology:
We made a mistake. Over the last couple of days users brought to light an issue concerning how we handle your personal information on Path, specifically the transmission and storage of your phone contacts.
Morin not only offered an apology but deleted the address books from Path's servers. His quick action in terms of the public apology and rectifying the problem will save Path's reputation. People are willing to forgive if you admit to the problem, apologize for it, and show how you'll ensure it'll never happen again. It's impossible for a company to operation perfectly, 100% of the time. Things happen. It's how you handle them when they occur that's key.
As social networking site, Tagged, learned the hard way when it spammed its users several years ago, it's better to address the problem publicly versus staying quiet and hoping the bad press will go away. It won't. Nip it in the bud and move on, taking extra precautions going forward, knowing that all eyes will now be watching your every move. In the video below, Tagged's CEO Greg Tseng drives home the importance of handling a crisis the 'right' away. It's worth watching to understand why public relations is critical to a company's success.
It might be just a PR problem in the US, but in the UK Path could very easily have broken the law.
They have just released a new version to the app store, so now is the PERFECT time to trash their rating with a one-star review on your way out the door!
As of this writing there are only nine reviews for it, so yours will weigh heavily. And the current-version rating is what the app store displays first, so it will hurt them for a good long while.
Greg Tseng has a long history of spamming and deceiving people and claiming it was a mistake afterwards, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Tseng

GW crushes Comets 49-0
- Last Updated on 11:35 PM 09/27/13
- BY Joe Chandler
Injured Halifax County High School quarterback Tyler Stephens, who had missed the better part of six weeks of action with a foot fracture, made a much-anticipated return in Friday night's game against arch-rival GW here at Tuck Dillard Stadium.
Stephens ran for 65 yards on 24 carries and hit two of seven passes for a total of 22 yards. But, it wasn't a good night for Stephens or the Comets.
GW took advantage of a pair of Comets turnovers in the second quarter while scoring 28 unanswered points in the last 11 minutes of the first half and rolled up a 49-0 win over the Comets.
The Comets had five turnovers in the game including four interceptions, three off of Stephens, and a lost fumble. On many occasions, Stephens was forced to flee the pocket to avoid the GW pass rush and he had several passes that he had to fire off hurriedly.
"We couldn't man up," said Comets Head Coach Mike Roark.
"They (GW) kicked our butts hard up front tonight. We've got to fix it. Some things worked well pass-wise, other things didn't. Tyler is a heck of an athlete. He tried to make a few things happen and did some good things."
After having had two turnovers in the first half result in GW touchdowns, the Comets' problems continued to mount in the second half.
GW's Myles Bennett intercepted a pass by Stephens on the Comets' third play from scrimmage in their first possession of the second half. With the ball in hand, GW drove 78 yard in six plays and scored on a 38-yard pass from quarterback Hunter Byrnes to Malik Clements to run its lead to 35-0.
GW picked off another pass from Stephens, this one on the sixth play of the Comets' ensuing possession. Two plays later, GE scored again, this time on a 55-yard pass from Byrnes to Bennett with 4:27 left in the third quarter to take a 42-0 lead.
With Richard Jacobs in the game at quarterback for the Comets, GW's C.J. Grimes stopped a Comets scoring threat by intercepting a pass by Jacobs in the end zone and returning it 101 yards for a touchdown with 2:41 left in the game. That score accounted for the 49-0 final score.
GW tallied 308 yards of total offense, with Byrnes running for one touchdown and throwing for two more. The Eagles scored two touchdowns on interception returns.
While the Comets were victimized by turnovers, they managed to do some things well, putting together three or four offensive drives of the six-to-eight-play variety and piecing together a 19-play drive late in the fourth quarter.
"We did some good things tonight " Roark pointed out.
But, the Comets were not the offensive machine that they had been in their last two outings when they racked up over 300 yards of total offense. The Comets tallied 202 yards of offense, with running back Roland Brandon, who has been the team's leading rusher this season, getting only 30 yards on a dozen carries.
In short, it was a frustrating night.
Jacob Garrett, who had been the Comets' quarterback through the first three games, left the game in the first quarter with an injured hand. Stephens exited the game with just under seven and a half minutes left with a leg cramp and Richard Jacobs, who had designated as the third quarterback upon Stephens' return, finished the game.
"It's frustrating for these kids," Roark said of the loss that dropped his team's record to 0-4 on the season.
"It's supposed to be. I think they are resilient enough. We'll regroup on Monday and start getting ready to go to Martinsville on Friday."

Powell Sets School Mark as Valpo Finishes 3rd at Tiger Invitational
Saturday, February 07, 2004Valparaiso University's Elliot Powell (Orange Calif./Santa Ana H.S.) set a school record in the 200m dash helping to lead the Crusaders to a third place finish in the field of 22 at the Tiger Invitational in Greencastle, Ind. on Saturday.
The Crusaders tallied 59 points on the day, just six behind runner-up Indianapolis. Lindenwood won the meet with 155 points.
Powell finished in second place in the 200m dash with a time of 22.59 seconds, just .31 seconds off the lead. He bettered Antoine Ward's 1999 record of 22.71 seconds. Powell also finished in fifth place in the long jump, 3000m run. Matt Blume (Logansport, Ind./Pioneer H.S.) won the event with a time of 8:54.09. Teammate Christopher Orosz (Holland, Ohio/St. John's Jesuit H.S.) was two places back in third position with a time of 8:55.04. Orosz also turned in a fifth place effort in the mile with a time of 4:29.39.
The Crusaders only other individual point on the track came from Adam Wierciak (Ottawa, Ill./Marquette H.S.), who finished in eighth place in the 600m run with a time of 1:26.91.
The Brown and Gold placed a pair of scorers in both the shot put and the weight throw. In the shot, Todd Goodrick (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester H.S.) finished fourth with a toss of 48'1 �", while Jeff Swihart (Goshen, Ind./Northwood H.S.) was seventh with a throw of 45'9 �". In the weight, Bryan Bell (Bellevue, Neb./Bellvue East H.S.) was fifth and Matt Larson (Arlington Heights, Ill./St. Viator H.S.) earned sixth, each with a toss of 47'3".
Valpo also earned a point from Brian Schultz (Sheboygan, Wis./Sheboygan H.S.) in the triple jump, where he placed eighth with a leap of 40'10 �".
Valparaiso will return to the oval next Saturday, as the Crusaders split their squad. Some members of the team will head to Ames, Iowa to compete at the Iowa State Classic, while others will head to Kenosha, Wis. to the Pepsi Challenge hosted by Wisconsin-Parkside.

Diggin' that Duggan
Detroit media fawn over Big Mike — and neglect those who've actually filed to run
Published: January 30, 2013
Two weeks ago, in the federal racketeering trial featuring former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father Bernard Kilpatrick, and contractor Bobby Ferguson, a familiar name popped up during a secretly recorded conversation involving papa Kilpatrick and James R. Rosendall, a prosecution witness who served 11 months in prison after pleading guilty to bribery.
The interchange, caught on tape by the FBI, is part of the evidence being used to help convince jurors that Kwame's dad repeatedly put the squeeze on Rosendall in return for guaranteeing a $1.2 billion sludge deal would be protected by his spawn Kwame.
At one point, according to published reports, Bernard K. told Rosendall that, while working with the now-deceased Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara, and his deputy, Mike Duggan, they had "carved out" deals that were "borderline illegal."
Duggan, who went on to become Wayne County prosecutor and then head of the Detroit Medical Center, is, by all accounts, seeking to become Detroit's next mayor — although he has yet to formally announce his candidacy.
Duggan has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
What we find fascinating isn't the fact that his name surfaced during this trial, but rather the degree to which the mainstream media in this town are pimping his candidacy.
For example, the same day that Bernard K.'s bad-mouthing of Duggan and Boss McNamara — the head of a legendary political machine that helped spawn the careers of not only Duggan but also former Gov. Jennifer Granholmand former U.S. Attorney Saul Green— was being reported in her paper, Free Press columnist Rochelle Rileyhad a piece touting the fact that Duggan is requiring his campaign staff do volunteer work in the city of Detroit.
"Detroit mayoral candidate Mike Duggan, who may singlehandedly meet every Detroit resident during the meet-and-greets he's conducting across the city, has come up with another idea that he hopes will impress voters: He is requiring all campaign workers and supporters to do hands-on community service in Detroit."
Excuse us for a moment. We have to go puke.
Seriously. Here's a guy whose name — rightly or wrongly — has just been mentioned in one of the highest profile corruption trials Detroit has ever seen, a guy who hasn't even formally announced his candidacy, and one of the Freep's leading columnists is wasting ink gushing about how he's requiring people participating in his still-not-official campaign to also volunteer for community projects.
How the hell is that anybody's idea of a legitimate news story?
The problem is, the sort of saccharine fawning being dished out by Riley, although a little extra-heavy on the syrup, is hardly an anomaly. For nearly a year now, Detroit's two sorta-daily newspapers have been doing their best to hype Duggan's mayoral run, while virtually ignoring the candidacies of the two people who have actually formally declared their intention to seek the job.
Here's a test: Can you tell us who they are?
Unless you are a confirmed political junkie, the answer is probably "no."
For the record, they are state Rep. Fred Durhal Jr.and former state Rep. Lisa Howze, who actually announced her candidacy almost one year ago. (Riley, by the way, at least allowed Howze a line in that most recent column. On the other hand, she seemed to have completely missed the fact that Durhal too is a declared candidate.)
Howze, a CPA who stepped down from her job in the Legislature to make her mayoral run, officially declared her candidacy last February. That disclosure rated a 309-word brief inside the Freep's metro section. Duggan earned slight more ink a few weeks later just by purchasing a home in Detroit's upscale Palmer Woods neighborhood; he was living in suburban Livonia at the time. Asked at the time if that meant he might by eying a run for office, Duggan said "no."
"This is a personal life choice," he told the Free Press. "It's not anything else."
So, either Big Mike has a real credibility problem from the get-go, initially lying about what his real intentions were, or his expressed interest in the Detroit mayor's job is a rather rash, spur-of-the-moment kind of thing.
And Duggan has never struck us as the kind of guy who makes rash decisions. Extremely calculating is more how we would describe him.
If that take is correct, then what could be perceived as the engineering of his campaign rollout has been masterful. It begins with Detroit Newseditorial honcho Nolan Finleystarting to seriously chum the waters for Duggan by writing a column that appeared on a Sunday in late April titled "Is Detroit ready for a white mayor?"
Oh, did we mention that Duggan is as white as the Pillsbury Doughboy? Although Detroit, which is about 90 percent black and hasn't had a white mayor since the days of Roman Gribbs, Finley, not so surprisingly, answered his own question by saying: "… surprisingly, nobody seems to be counting Duggan out based on race."
Just to make sure that point wasn't lost on anyone, the Newsfollowed that column with a 1,400 word front-page story in mid-June with the title, "Can a white mayoral candidate win Detroit?"
In that piece,Leonard N. Flemingfound that "the possibility of a viable white contender is being debated in Detroit power circles."
Those power circles, we can only assume, included the editorial offices of the Newsand Free Press.
Certainly they appear to be doing their best. Back in early October, Duggan made it to the front page of the Sunday Free Press in a 1,570-word paean penned by staff writer Matt Helms.
Not to be outdone, Mary Kramer— publisher of the weekly business journal Crain's Detroit Business — boldly declared in November, "Barring some huge misstep, Duggan will make history and become the first white mayor of Detroit since 1973."

A Party of Asses
With Scott Brown's reelection campaign gathering momentum, Democrats around here are stuck in a haze of nostalgia and complacency.
Only in stagnant Massachusetts could Democratic leaders like Walsh fail to grasp Warren's prospects — even as her politics line up with the party's heralded elite. Warren was warning of the dangers of cheap credit and predatory lending practices years before the financial services sector imploded in 2008. Her more than decade-long denunciation of financial practices that favor the rich at the expense of working people echoes Ted Kennedy's long career of championing the little guy. Her ferocity on this score is especially reminiscent of Kennedy's futile but energetic fight in 2005 against a sweeping bankruptcy bill, backed by the credit card industry, that punished families forced to use credit cards to pay their medical bills but preserved loopholes for corporations and the wealthiest Americans.
But, hey, John Walsh doesn't know her. So he and the rest of the party luminaries have barely acknowledged Warren or the other bright, if politically untested, candidates who are standing right in front of them.
Why, for instance, the lukewarm response to Setti Warren? Senator John Kerry called the Newton mayor and former Washington aide to both Kerry and Bill Clinton "a very close friend and enormously capable and determined public servant." I am sure Setti thinks you're swell, too, Senator. But will you be offering the financial and organizational support he needs to win?
Barney Frank is put out by Setti's presumptuousness at running only 16 months after being elected mayor. "The timing is bad," said Frank, who has stayed in his own job in the U.S. House for 30 years, only four fewer than Ed Markey, the longest-serving member of an aging Massachusetts delegation. Is retiring in office their idea of good timing?
From the clubby confines of Beacon Hill and Capitol Hill to the increasingly familiar federal courtrooms on Fan Pier, one-party dominance in Massachusetts has too often meant that mediocrity and mendacity rule: Little competition for one's seat means an easy route to reelection for Massachusetts Democrats, which invites laziness in a politician and, in turn, corruption.
Consider the case against former House Speaker Sal DiMasi, the third consecutive Massachusetts House speaker to be convicted of federal charges. The trial was as illustrative of the pervasive culture of go-along-get-along capitulation on Beacon Hill as it was of the money-lusting venality of one man. Yes, the testimony that DiMasi received kickbacks after securing a multimillion-dollar state contract for a Burlington software company was damning — but so were the admissions of Leslie Kirwan, the former state secretary of administration and finance. Kirwan testified that she initially opposed the deal with the software company on grounds that it was too big for the state's needs and too expensive for its wallet. But she signed off on the contract anyway, she said, bowing to relentless pressure from DiMasi. She even wrote in an e-mail afterward that she hoped "the big guy down the hall is happy." Didn't Kirwan work for a governor who ran on the promise to upend just that kind of back-scratching in state government? Instead, Deval Patrick and his team played ball with the hacks he had promised to bring to heel.

Second in a trilogy - as good as the first. Time travel, romance, mystery...what's not to like?
I liked this sequel to Ruby Red better than its predecessor. I would give it 4 of 5 stars. For one, I feel like it finally got into the "story" of the books. There is still that unfinished feel, though, that I lamented with the first book. I like for a book to satisfy me on its own... so I don't know. I'm still not in love with the trilogy format. The plot picked up in this book, and things are beginning to pull together. I felt like the author was still true to the characters, and I found myself smiling at some of the situations the protagonist finds herself in. I loved the addition of the gargoyle Xemerius to the mix. I found him adorable. I also liked having the author add a little more depth to Mr. George's character. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in the last book.
More sloppy execution. Plus, I really didn't like Gwenyth in this. She spent too much time obsessing over Gideon. If I could travel back in time(involuntary or not), I'd be doing a lot more than she ever does(and I don't mean the lessons). She spends little to no time, trying to gather info or putting together the pieces. No wonder everyone walks over her.
The author took this interesting idea and kind of slaughtered it with insta-love. Especially the end ! I know that he kind of shattered your heart but hello don't you want to find out what THE SECRET is ??
My most favorite character was Xemerius. And Lesley. I wish the author hadn't provided us with a heroine so dumb she can't see clues lying in front of her at times. And she just moons over Gideon all the time. Gawd.

Hot water dispensers deliver 190-degree water on demand through a separate faucet mounted on the sink. They use a heater mounted under the counter, requiring an electric receptacle, but not a separate water line.
10. Add a water filter
Finally, you can treat the water flowing into the sink with a filter on the water line. The most common models use replaceable carbon filters that eliminate many contaminants and odors. Other filters use reverse osmosis or boiling and distillation. Filters can also be attached to a separate faucet mounted in the hole that is often used for sprayers or hot-water dispensers.
There are many ways to customize a sink. However, think hard before customizing the sink's location. Moving the sink can be very expensive. Most users want a window over the kitchen sink, so you may need to move a window if you want to move a sink. You will also need to move drain and vent lines.

The Daily Star
The Daily Star
---- — New York's Joint Commission on Public Ethics was created with the goal of restoring the public's trust in state government by, among other things, shedding light on the interactions between lobbyists and elected officials.
But since the commission was established in 2011, its members have seemed much more concerned with coddling their favorite interest groups than increasing transparency.
The latest example came last week when conservative groups cried foul over the panel's exemption for abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice from rules requiring lobbying groups to disclose the names of donors who contribute more than $5,000.
The commission has argued that such exemptions are necessary to protect donors from retribution or harassment; defenders of the policy have cited the 1998 murder of Buffalo-area OB/GYN Barnett Slepian by anti-abortion extremist James Charles Kopp as proof such threats exist.
But political violence can spring from almost any issue imaginable. If we're going to protect those who'd like to use cash to influence public policy on one particular issue, then why shouldn't lobbyists on other issues remain secret, too?
Conservative group New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms made that argument last week, asking JCOPE to grant it an exemption or revoke NARAL's. The New York Civil Liberties Union and Family Planning Advocates of New York later followed suit, asking for their own exemptions to the disclosure laws.
Commissioner David Renzi acknowledged last week that the exemptions may be overly broad.
"What we're really talking about is allowing tens of millions of dollars to be exempted from review," Renzi said. "We should have that debate publicly. I think we maybe made a mistake or two along the way, and it's a new organization."
But we'll believe it when we see it. The commission has undermined its credibility by repeatedly flouting open-government laws, and by selectively enforcing its own rules. When Ellen Biben, a longtime aide of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was in April 2012 named its executive director, JCOPE curiously blocked the Associated Press' rather ho-hum Freedom of Information request for the vote tally.
When its lobbying-disclosure rules went into effect in July 2012, JCOPE conveniently delayed their implementation until just after a massive lobbying campaign by the pro-Cuomo Committee to Save New York ended, allowing the group to hide the names of its 74 donors, who spent $17.5 million. And in April, JCOPE ruled that Cuomo's girlfriend, TV star Sandra Lee, can enjoy the benefits of being New York's first lady, such as the use of state aircraft and police protection, without having to disclose the financial data that would be required if she were Cuomo's wife.
JCOPE has some work to do to restore its credibility. Shining some more light on influence-peddling in Albany would be a good start.
