ST PETER — A September trial has been scheduled for a man who allegedly attempted to stab his mother to death while out on a day pass from the Minnesota Security Hospital in St. Peter nearly a year ago.
The trial for Burton James Ewing Jr., 49, is scheduled to take place in Nicollet County District Court the week of Sept. 9.
During a hearing in January, Burton's attorney, Tracy Bains, told Nicollet County District Court Judge Allison Krehbiel that she was planning to use a mental illness defense.
Bains also requested a court trial, meaning the case will be presented to Krehbiel and decided by her instead of a jury. So there would be no need for Bains to request the trial be moved to another county due to media coverage of the incident and the possibility of a tainted jury pool.
"It's certainly our opinion that he has been mentally ill the entire time and he was mentally ill at the time of this very tragic incident," Bains said after that Jan. 24 pretrial hearing.
Ewing was arrested May 8 after witnesses called 911 to report a stabbing was taking place at Seven Mile Creek County Park between Mankato and St. Peter on Highway 169. Dozens of law enforcement officers were already in the area because, by coincidence, another patient at the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center had escaped that day.
That man, whose escape charges were dismissed because he was found to be mentally ill, was arrested May 9 after spending the night in the same area as Seven Mile Creek. Law enforcement said the two incidents were not connected in any way.
When a Nicollet County sheriff's deputy arrived at the park for the stabbing report, Ewing was allegedly still stabbing his mother, Marlys Olson of Coon Rapids. Olson had picked Ewing up at the hospital earlier that day. She had planned to spend the day riding bikes and having a picnic at the park with her son.
Investigators said Ewing allegedly had other plans. He had withdrawn all his money from a bank account and packed a bag with food, clothing and other provisions. The bag wasn't checked when he left the hospital.
Ewing and his mother had stopped at a store to buy supplies for the picnic, including barbecue tongs. He used a seat from a bicycle to beat Olson as soon as they arrived at the park, according to the criminal complaint. He then allegedly attempted to kill Olson by stabbing her in the eyes with the tongs.
When the tongs started to bend, he grabbed a steak knife from the picnic supplies and started stabbing his mother in her car as witnesses watched, the complaint said. Ewing allegedly stabbed Olson more than 20 times. She was critically wounded but survived and attended the hearing in January.
Ewing beat his sister to death about 15 years ago. He was sent to the security hospital in 1998 after he was found not guilty by reason of mental illness.

---- — Patricia B. DeBaun
COOPERSTOWN — Patricia B. DeBaun, 85, passed away Nov. 23, 2012.
She was a former resident of Richfield Springs, Canon City, Colo., Gulf Breeze, Fla., and recently the Clara Welch Thanksgiving Home, Cooperstown.
Born Nov. 25, 1926, in Englewood, N.J., Patsy was the daughter of Everett and Sadie Bowditch Burger. They lived in Congers, along with her sisters, Peggy and Nancy, and her brother, Everett.
She graduated from Congers High School in 1946, where she was vice president of her senior class, a cheerleader and a member of the Glee Club. She then attended the Laboratory School of Merchandising in New York City and was employed at Lord and Taylors, Macy's and later on, the Church Mouse Boutique in Cooperstown.
Patsy was preceded in death by her husband, Peter; and son, Christian.
She and Pete were married Sept. 3, 1949, and moved to Richfield Springs, where they worked and raised a family on the Lochiel Farm, on Allen Lake Road.
Patsy was a very vivacious person, and there was never a dull moment when she was around. She loved to garden, sew, cook, golf, play bridge, crochet and entertain.
She is survived by her daughter, Laura (Tom) Stevens of Cooperstown and Punta Gorda, Fla., her daughter, Eleanor F. DeBaun of Cooperstown; and her son, John (Pati) DeBaun of Park City, Utah. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren, Nicole (Brandt) Hager, Christopher, Amanda and Scott Stevens, Melinda and Jordan Crist, and Sadie and Fine DeBaun. Also, three great-grandchildren, Lyla Mae Dawson, Avery and Knox Hager.
Donations in memory of Patsy may be made to the Cooperstown Food Pantry, 25 Church St., Cooperstown, NY 13326 or the American Cancer Society, 8 Oak Ave., Sidney, NY 13838.
A memorial service will be held for family and friends at a later date.
Arrangements are under the guidance of Tillapaugh Funeral Service, Cooperstown.

A-line Side Drape Strapless Gown Style 9V9665 150 152
The experience I never dreamed of... I went in to my appointment very apprehensive and anxious. I had never tried on a wedding dress before but had heard horror stories about how plus size girls had trouble finding the right one and how they were treated during fittings. On top of that I was missing my Mom. She would not be with me on this journey. When it was time to try on my first of 5 dresses that they pulled I started to cry. When I told my consultant how I missed my Mom and was not sure if I was ready to do this, she told me that my Mom was with me, I just had to believe it. I knew what I did not want. No girdle or tight fitting under things for me. I wanted to feel comfortable but not confined. I did not want a strapless dress for fear of the girls coming out, always having to pull the dress up. As I tried on the first 3 dresses (which I hated, I just wanted to run for the hills), one of my sisters was befriending another customer in between fittings. This customer was also plus size and knew what I was going through. We were all strangers and yet she made it a point to show me a dress (the one above) that she would be wearing next month to her own wedding. She looked amazing, so beautiful. She had never in a million year thought that she would wear something like it. Because she fell in love with it on her, she talked me into trying it on and even went so far as to get the dress in my size. When I stepped out of the dressing room and I saw both my sisters faces and the one of this customer I just had to look. It was love at first sight! I got goose bumps and started crying. I told this amazing girl, Call her "K" that she was an angel from heaven. It was then that I realized what my consultant meant. My Mom really was there with us. She gave her opinion through this amazing young lady. We all cried, hugged and I purchased this dress for my wedding that will take place in the fall. I want to thank "K" for her kindness, friendship though so brief and the amazing connection we all shared over this dress. I wish her and her fianc�� all the best in life! God Bless her. To the consultant who was so compassionate and understanding, one would never believe she had only been working for a week and was as young as she was. She new just what to say and how to make us all feel special. There is just something about the right dress, it makes every bride feel like a princess. I urge every bride to try on a dress they would not normally choose for themselves...you never know. :`) March 5, 2014
I went in thinking that I was set on getting a dropped waist dress. After trying on a bunch and not really liking them my consultant asked if she could get me a dress that she though I would like. I agreed and she brought me this dress. When I tried it on I liked it but was debating this dress and another dress. My consultant then said she was going to go pull the flower girl dress that went along with this dress and had my flower girl try it on. I then started crying when I seen my flower girl and decided on this dress. I absolutely love the back of the dress and the beading on the top of the dress. I recommend any plus size bride to try it on. February 9, 2014
AMAZING gown! I just purchased this gown and it's absolutely beautiful! The ivory is gorgeous, it has just the right amount of beading, and it's just the right length. I felt beautiful (which is great for any plus sized girl). I will however be adding some straps just because I'm pretty busty. Try this one on, you won't be disappointed! January 21, 2014
Wonderful Dress This dress is fantastic! The corseted back allows you to ���custom fit��� your dress as you like. For instance, if you are busty you can choose to not tie the back as tightly on top. If you are thicker in the middle, same thing. Bra cups are a must for this dress and work well, even if you have a lot to contain on top. Because we were married at Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe in December 2013, I knew it would be cold and snowy on the ground. I chose to buy a faux fur wrap and it went perfectly with this dress. Same for the ivory gloves. Don���t forget to buy the a-line slip. It just adds the perfect amount of volume to really show off this dress��� sequins and sparkle! I chose to bustle the train for times I would be wearing the dress when it was not necessary to have it flowing behind me. Now, I���m just waiting to get my dress back from the David���s Bridal preservation team. Love, love love this dress! December 23, 2013

Prized for its rich, crimson color and excellent durability, Padauk is an excellent hardwood for cabinetry and fine furniture. Reddish orange when freshly cut, it matures over time to a bright red with darker red and purple streaks. It is hard, heavy and extremely resistant to rot, and makes one of the most durable hardwood floors available. It is easily worked, takes an excellent finish and polishes beautifully. All boards are machined S4S to 1/8", 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" thicknesses. Thin boards are well-suited for edging, veneering, marquetry, sides for decorative boxes, bending stock and bent laminations, while the thicker boards are ideal for furniture, paneling, cabinet doors, mouldings, drawer sides, fine jewelry boxes and whatever else your imagination can dream up!

Dr. Pradeep Nair has enjoyed his time in the big-city medical world, but he's thrilled to be coming home to Somerset and continue the family tradition of serving the rural community.
A new affiliation this year will not only allow Somerset Hospital to expand its cardiology services with UPMC Health System's experts, it will allow Pradeep Nair to join his father and veteran heart doctor, V. Krishnan Nair, in caring for their neighbors.
"Somerset Hospital has a long tradition of providing the highest quality cardiovascular care in a rural setting," Pradeep Nair said. "We will maintain and enhance the scope of services available to the people in Somerset."
Ten years ago, Somerset became one of 11 Pennsylvania hospitals to offer life-saving balloon angioplasty without an on-site heart surgery program. Angioplasty is part of an overall interventional cardiology that includes both diagnostic, preventive and emergency heart care with the use of catheterization and stenting.
In recent years, Somerset worked with Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown to provide support, but the new affiliation connects Somerset with UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute. The partnership will allow the Nairs to provide services in patients with more severe blockages and also bring in some of UPMC's other heart experts for specialized clinics, Pradeep Nair said.
Expanded services coming to Somerset include cardiac electrophysiology, which uses pacemakers and implanted defibrillators to treat irregular heartbeat issues. There also could be more use of mechanical support devices to help the heart function.
"It's a higher level of care," Pradeep Nair said.
But bringing a quality medical expertise to Somerset is nothing new, Krishnan Nair said. It has been his goal since he completed cardiology training more than 30 years ago.
"In the early 1980s, cardiologists all went to the big city," Krishnan Nair said. "The rural people did not get to see the cardiologist. They had to travel to the city."
He saw an opportunity to bring the expertise to the rural population here and opened his practice in 1980.
"I concentrate all my efforts in Somerset," he said.
But Somerset's proximity to both Johnstown and Pittsburgh has allowed Krishnan Nair to work with leading experts and helped him keep up with the latest advances.
"Everything in cardiology is evidence-based," he said. "It should be the same treatment all over the world."
The heart care advances he has seen in his three decades have been nothing short of revolutionary, Krishnan Nair said. In 1980, heart attack patients were confined to bed for three weeks to recover. There really was not much treatment.
"Their heart muscle got damaged," Krishnan Nair said. "We just sat by. Now when someone has a heart attack, we can open (their blockages) right away.
"Prevention has evolved 100 percent. It is saving lives."
In Somerset's heart catheterization lab, the doctors feed long wires through blood vessels to the patient's heart to open blocked blood vessels with a balloon. Then a stent – a tiny tube – can be inserted to keep the vessel open and supplying oxygen to heart muscle. Catheters also can be used diagnostically to measure blockages.
"We want to provide state-of-the-art services to diagnostics and treatment of cardiac disease," Krishnan Nair said.
More complicated cases can be referred to any hospital the patients choose, but many of them will be treated at UPMC in Pittsburgh, where Pradeep Nair will continue seeing patients one day a week.
But the younger doctor is happy to be working in Somerset the other four days a week.
"I'm home," Pradeep Nair said. "I have been away since 1994. It is good to be back."

An Army sergeant at Fort Carson has received the U.S. military's third-highest combat medal for intercepting a suicide bomber in Afghanistan in August.
Sgt. Andrew Mahoney received the Silver Star at a ceremony Monday at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs.
The Army credits Mahoney with saving the lives of 24 people.
He was assigned to protect the commander of Fort Carson's 4th Brigade Combat Team when two suicide bombers attacked. One got through, killing three officers, but Mahoney flung the other attacker aside.
The attacker detonated his explosives, injuring Mahoney and others.
The other suicide bomber killed Air Force Maj. Walter D. Gray, Army Maj. Thomas E. Kennedy and Army Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin. Griffin was from Laramie, Wyo.
Col. James Mingus, commander of the 4th Brigade, survived.

In the mail today I received a check for $25.05 from the Hanson vs Google AdWords settlement. In fact, there are hundreds of Google advertisers receiving checks this week. The settlement was reached in 2009 for $20 million due to exceeding the daily budget within the AdWords system.
After a few years, the lawyers have sent out payment to advertisers who joined the class action suit.
Most advertisers seem to be receiving checks worth less than the postage being used to mail them out. Here are some tweets:

Harencak gets NNSA's Gold Medal
Brig. Gen. Garrett Harencak today received the Gold Medal for Distinguished Service from the National Nuclear Security Administration. NNSA Administrator Tom D'Agostino presented the award to Harencak in a ceremony in recognition of his service to the agency over the past two years. It is the highest honorary award granted by NNSA.
Harencak has served as the NNSA's principal assistant deputy administrator for military application since March 2009, with responsibility for maintaining the safety, security and effectiveness of the nuclear weapons stockpile. He also was acting deputy administrator for a period while Don Cook was awaiting his confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
According to information released by NNSA, Harencak was recognized "for his success in leading Defense Programs at a time when the organization was playing a critical role in shaping the Nuclear Posture Review, negotiating the New START Treaty, and putting together the President's FY2011 Budget Request. "
Here's a statement from D'Agostino:
"I want to personally express my deepest gratitude to Gen. Harencak for his exceptional service to NNSA and to the country in helping to keep the American people safe. Gen. Harencak is a tremendous leader and a great advocate who continuously displayed an energy and enthusiasm that inspires those who serve with him. His leadership and his partnership with Don Cook have served NNSA well at a critical time in our history. NNSA may be losing a terrific leader, but the Nuclear Weapons Center is gaining a great commander."
The Air Force recently announced that, effective Jan. 20, Harencak will take over the command of Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico.

Sitting at a desk staring at a wall
Find a way to block this wall
Way to much in my mind just another time
Look at the clock time has gone by I feel so dry
Wondering what the hell happened to all my information
I just need to be in reformation
Just need to think my way around this test
Staring at a white desk where words are written saying
"You will fail" and "Just give it a rest"
No, No! I say to myself this can't happen
This is too much what the hell is happening to me
I just becoming a lost prodigy of getting good grades
Now just becoming a wasted space of an endless race
Where I am always behind trying to fight this endless time
That's making my brain explode in half making my senses into a wrath of pain and misery crying out for someone to please help me. Making a rhyme that makes mic's fall. Help HELP I cry out for help but none of my teachers hear me at all.
I am just lost inside this endless space wondering what will happen to me when I fail this test. I guess no one can see that I am in stress and I just I will give it a rest for eternity.
By Ryan Sullivan
I'll rap till i die
I won't cry
Just say Hi and i will be alive
To rap again in your face and fuck your life
Because tonight's the end the end to be the best i must protect my identity
Because on the mic' am superman flowing through the words
Making you pussies cry from my crazy rhymes
I don't lie because i am the best the best i can be against my enemies
as ya can see it's my density to be the best and the best i can be i am just young not tall or strong but on the mic am King Kong. So let me put it all together in a song because once ya hear it the thoughts of taking me down will be gone. I am the next king
but to all my white rappers i stand and say to ya come with me to protect our land against this enemies and come all my rappers whether black or white and tonight
We'll unite to fight.
My Reflection
By Ryan Sullivan
Sometimes I look at myself I don't know who I am
Just a reflection in a mirror waiting to escape this fear
Wondering why, while the clock goes by
Thinking of what they will think of me
Trying to get away from this fear
That's tearing me apart of my body parts
Trying to look normal trying to take control
But it's so hard to take away this toll I have to pay
To be normal in a way
Taking pills three at once till you are fed up
With life you try to keep your head straight
Finding away from this hate
A puzzle that has no way to leave
No place to escape this cold dark feeling
That washes over me killing chilling my bones
Till all you have left is skin and bones
Trying to help myself in every single way
Till every single day you cry in your bed
Never wanting to see the day again
Praying for a day that will get me away
This is what my friend has been through
So I dedicate this song to you
Nothing Left
By Ryan Sullivan
I am done Kayla nothing is left I feel like death yeah death inside isn't that right when you feel you want to cry you just curl up and cut and lose your mind to the beats of your heart you feel inside. You just hating all the things in your life when you feel so alone and you're dead inside put a ball in my heart because there is nothing left you can hear the clatter of my empty chest. You can say you don't want me to die but in the inside you feel no hope left your stressed and cut from the inside out just finding a place to seek help. So to end this song on a right note i will just say for my words I wrote that all the things in life don't always go as planned I clearly saw that today when life flashed from my hands.
By Ryan Sullivan
Here's a little story about my ex-girlfriend Kim
The person that I love deep within
You see me and Kim met through my ex
At the time Kim was dating my friend
I liked Kim the day I saw her
I was stunned by the way I wanted her
Me and my ex broke up Me and Kim talked
We talked and talked for 7 months straight
Those seven months were the best days of my life
Now I am a failure, lost and wrecked
But me and Kim started dating in April
I was the happiest guy in the world
Then things turned when I fell
In May I was at chorus
I collapsed and took a fall
It scared the shit out of Kim
I was in the hospital for as long as I remember 7 hours of none stop terror. I texted Kim hour to hour she stayed up until I got better. She is the best person I know no one is better she is an angel sent down to make me better she is my dream girl I loved at first sight. Well after I fell I fell again on the night of the concert for chorus once again. Kim was crying her eyes out and loved me to death I needed to see her before I was sent to my death. Yeah I was scared I thought I was dying cause of the tests my body was just crying. This is the longest rap I have ever made but it should be the longest since Kim is my babe (Troll).
Well I found out that I developed a sickness from the collapsing they thought I was been visited by my past of disease of epilepsy. "Well no it wasn't, no it isn't, NO!, NO!, NO!" I screamed myself to sleep trying to pray I would find out about this sickness in a day. Well it didn't take just a couple of days no its took 7 fucking months.
Go Away
By Ryan Sullivan
(Goes to What I've Done by Linkin Park)
For all this regret
I have shed over a million lives
I feel sorrow for my ways and days
Just messing up, and I want it to go
Just go, JUST GO AWAY!!! (Hold)
I've felt this pain from me
It's all my fault
You've just got to go, JUST GO AWAY!!!(Hold)
So you have known the mistakes
From me that I put on you
I messed up but no way I felt come through
So please just come, just come THIS WAY!
JUST GO AWAY!!! (Hold)
I've felt this pain from me
It's all my fault
You've just got to go, JUST GO AWAY!!(Hold)
Down Deep
By Ryan Sullivan
Feel the pain rushing, touching your skin
Scraping, tearing making you chill
Till you scream yelling, telling yourself you want it
You want the pain rushing touching your skin making you So scared of what your friends will think when you walk in with torn skin torn up scabs new cuts update where old ones are just looking makes you feel pain in your arm its creeping, slipping toward your trying to make you feel the pain that is down deep inside.
Chorus- Deep so deep inside DEEP SO DEEP INSIDE I want to feel the pain the pain that cuts so DEEP SO DEEP INSIDE DEEEEEEEEEPPPP!! (Screaming when letters are uppercase)
You might think you know but pull up my sleeve and it's a whole show of my lies maybe I'll pick from the list that makes me tick just a list of lies that cuts deep inside with lies and ties of never ending try's to hide your real story of cutting at lunch with your friends wondering "what the fuck". Trying to hide the pain you feel the pain the pain the cuts so deep down
Chorus- Deep so deep inside DEEP SO DEEP INSIDE I want to feel the pain the pain that cuts so DEEP SO DEEP SOOOO DEEP SOOO DEEP SOOOOOO DEEEP INSIDE!!!
It's bugging it's tugging against me not telling my friend what's against me an evil thing inside my mind trying to eat my life one moment at a time. It's hard to not tell when you're like brother to brother and heaven to hell you try so hard to give the hints away but your just wasting time making mistakes every way and days after days your frustrated with yourself and you scream at a wall wanting to kill yourself so you make a song right from the mind a song of hate and a song of crime. You poor hot water all over your face wanting to feel the anger that builds in you trying to kill you and you run into your room take out your scissors and cut your skin till you look at hell and its hard to tell that you were playing soccer because everyone sees it was a mistake by a doctor.
Chorus- Deep so deep inside DEEP SO DEEEPPP SO DEEEEP SO DEEEEEEP INSIIIIDDDDEEEE!!
A Race
By Ryan Sullivan
From my way
I've felt the days
Pour on and on
Just taking me in an cutting on just tearing me from the inside out. There is no doubt that it isn't killing me.
I want to be free away from this pain that's put on me.
But no way I've taken it this long.
No doubt, no route that's taken me to a safe place.
Just another way to face this evil taste.
It's gone too long to remember its face
Just an evil devil running a race
Against me and my evil mace
Wanting to smash bash it like Thor and his chrome little mace.
But these rhymes spent too much time.
On my evil face so take away my evil taste.
And you left without a trace of a demon running a race.
Goodbye so long this my great day to be, What you've seen once in me back when I was free.

The Daily Star
---- — It's likely that unless you are a big basketball fan, you never heard of Jason Collins before Monday, when he became the first active player in any of the four major American professional sports to announce that he is gay.
Well, it's likely that you know his name now that in a Sports Illustrated cover story the 34-year-old National Basketball Association veteran proudly proclaimed, "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."
While several prominent lesbian athletes have been open about their sexual orientation, the locker rooms and showers of Major League Baseball, the National Football League, National Hockey League and NBA teams have been among the last bastions of blatant homophobia, and it has long been wondered what the fate would be of the first athlete in those sports to say he is gay.
As it turns out, when Jason Collins came out of the closet, it turned into a coming-out party.
The 7-foot-tall Stanford alumnus has received overwhelmingly positive responses since the announcement. President Barack Obama called to say he was proud of him. Collins heard from Oprah Winfrey, too.
"It was just your typical day when you speak to the president and Oprah," he joked to Sports Illustrated. "Truthfully, this whole experience has been humbling and kind of overwhelming."
In addition to his Twitter following ballooning in one day from 3,500 to almost 85,000, Collins received support from an array of current and former athletes, including Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade and Charles Barkley, along with NBA Commissioner David Stern and former President Bill Clinton.
Collins had kept his secret for a long time, even from his twin brother, Jarron, who is straight, and from former fiancée Carolyn Moos, with whom he had an eight-year relationship. Collins didn't tell her until shortly before the Sports Illustrated article was published.
"This is all hard to understand," Moos, who is 6-foot-6 and a former standout basketball player in the Women's National Basketball Association, told TMZ. "I care about (Jason) tremendously and only want the best for him. I want Jason to be happy for a lifetime and stay true to who he really is, inside and out."
Jason Collins is a free agent going into next season. He isn't a great basketball player. Having played for six teams, he would be accurately described as a journeyman.
But his journey has only begun. In a very real way, Jason Collins is Jackie Robinson. He's Rosa Parks. He's Amelia Earhart. What is heartwarming and immensely encouraging is that — at least from initial reactions — his journey might not be as arduous as what was encountered by those other brave pioneers.

CHAPEL HILL — While preparing for the NFL draft during the past four months, Sylvester Williams has played in the Senior Bowl, trained in Phoenix, and worked out for professional scouts at the NFL combine and North Carolinas pro day. Most memorable of all, though, might have been his experience working with Hall of Famer Warren Sapp.
He told me I remind him a lot of himself back in his younger days, said Williams, the North Carolina defensive tackle. And he told me the five steps to the quarterback is key. You dont want to spend a lot of time dancing at the line, you dont want to spend a lot of time engaging with offensive linemen.
You want to get off that ball, beat them and get them and get in the backfield and make plays.
Williams playmaking ability has made him one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the draft, and hes likely to hear his name called somewhere in the first round Thursday night. Mel Kiper Jr., the longtime ESPN NFL draft analyst, has projected the Dallas Cowboys to select Williams with the 18th pick.
You need a defensive tackle to fit that Monte Kiffin scheme, Kiper said earlier this month, referencing the Cowboys new defensive coordinator, Kiffin, who is installing a 4-3 defense in Dallas.
Williams during the past two seasons at UNC played in a four-down linemen system, too. After shedding about 30 pounds before his final season he lost the weight at the request of incoming football coach Larry Fedora Williams became adept at breaking through the offensive line, into the backfield. He finished the 2012 season with 13.5 tackles for loss.
Regardless of where Williams goes, his arrival in the NFL will be the culmination of an unlikely journey. He nearly dropped out of high school, and then worked in a manufacturing plant in Jefferson City, Mo., before walking onto the football team at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College.
A few years ago, I never saw myself in this position, Williams said. So being able to be here today, a few weeks ago at the combine and the Senior Bowl, and even here at Carolina the last two seasons, was a blessing.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has purchased a 38-acre portion of the Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company property in Haddam Neck. The parcel will become part of the Salmon River Division of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
The addition of this tract brings the refuge's Salmon River Division to 416 acres and is the fifth acquisition since the division was established in 2009.
"The investment of this property in the conservation estate as a part of the Silvio O. Conte Refuge is a tremendous accomplishment given its location along the Salmon River and outstanding value to wildlife and people," said Andrew French, project leader of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. "This outcome is a fitting tribute to the collaborative efforts among the Service, our state partners, Connecticut Yankee, Friends of the Salmon River, elected officials, community leaders, and residents. This is a great way to start the new year and I hope a preview of additional conservation accomplishments in this area."
Extensive beds of submerged aquatic vegetation in the Salmon River Division provide significant overwintering, spawning, and feeding habitat for a large number of fish species, including commercial finfish and shellfish. Additionally, Salmon Cove's freshwater tidal wetlands, flats, and adjacent intact forest provide migratory birds and shorebirds with sources of food, water, and shelter and serve as bald eagle winter roost and perch sites.
"Connecticut Yankee welcomed the opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to add this unique portion of our property to the Conte National Wildlife Refuge in Connecticut" says Wayne Norton, Connecticut Yankee's President and CEO. "The success of this land transaction is due to the cooperative efforts of the Service and grassroots organizations in the Haddam community and to the fact that this separately acquired parcel of land adjacent to the original plant property was never associated with site-related operations, nor needed for spent fuel storage operations."
"This is a very important step in the long standing and ongoing effort to preserve the wilderness which makes up the lower Salmon River Watershed and the lower Haddam Neck peninsula," says James McHutchison, spokesman for Connecticut Yankee Conservation Project, "conservationists both near and far, Haddam Neck residents and the critters are all celebrating."
Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge was established to conserve native plants, animals and their habitats in the 7.2 million acre Connecticut River watershed that stretches across four states. It is the only refuge in the country dedicated to a river's entire watershed. The refuge works to protect land, form partnerships with citizens to foster conservation efforts, educate the public, and pass on the importance of the watershed to future generations.
A local preservation group heralded the purchase as a boon for land preservation efforts in the area.
"We've been able to knock off properties here and there in the valley, but this is the first one on the actual property," James McHutchison, spokesman for the Connecticut Yankee Conservation Project, told the Hartford Courant. "We are absolutely delighted with this. And it's a milestone, but only that. The work continues."
The group was formed three years

Worcester, Mass. - January 22, 2011 - Billy Harkins netted a career-high 20 points to go along with a game-high five assists, but the Springfield College men's basketball team could not overcome a slow first half as it dropped an 89-74 decision to WPI in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on Saturday.
Kyle Nadeau collected 15 of 18 points in the first half to lead the Engineers to victory. WPI, which is ranked #18 in the latest D3hoops.com Top 25, extended their winning streak to eight and move to 15-3 overall and 5-0 in league play. Springfield slips to 9-8 on the season and 2-3 in NEWMAC action.
Nadeau came out sizzling, draining 5 of 7 3-pointers during the opening stanza. Three of his trifectas came within a five-minute span in the middle of the half that helped the hosts open up a 17 point halftime advantage.
Matt Carr shook off a slow start for the Engineers to finish the day 7 of 14 from the field and 9 of 12 from the free throw line to lead all scorers with 23 points. He posted game-highs of eight rebounds and three blocks to go along with four assists
Carr and Nadeau were joined in double figures by Jeffrey Robinson, who scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half and Jaime Shannon, who tossed in 14.
WPI led by as many as 26 midway through the second half, only to see Springfield's hot shooting get them to within 11 at 84-73 with 1:48 left. The Pride, who shot 55.2% from the field after intermission, had a pair of possessions to get within single digits, but did not connect on a basket the rest of the way.
Matt Cavalieri chipped in with 17 points and Evan Christner added nine points and six rebounds off the bench.
The contest saw the two teams combine for 50 fouls and 68 total free throw attempts.
Springfield ventures back to Worcester on Wednesday to take on Clark at 5pm.

Depends on if they know what they're talking about. You might have more luck on eBay than amongst enthusiasts, as the HCA-1206 is known to have capacitor issues (i.e. Parasound used caps that were under-rated for the voltage rail - confirmed by John Curl). Plus, there are no direct replacements for those caps, so you have to modify the bracket to put higher-rated caps of a different form factor in there. The term "destined to fail" comes to mind.
I wish I had known that in advance. I bought one from a Polkie back in October for $565, and it might as well be a paperweight. Two of the 6 channels are screwed completely, the others have noise in them because of it, and my tech's still fighting to see if he can fix it... and by the time it's repaired, I won't be able to resell it because of the modifications that will probably have to be made to it.

Leonidas Chocolate Cafe opened in downtown Northbrook in December, bringing fine European chocolate, Metropolis coffee and handmade crepes to the corner of Meadow and Shermer roads.
Owner Marie Douailly grew up in France, eating traditional Leonidas chocolates since she was a girl. She said her family used to visit nearby Belgium to get the beloved, 100-year-old sweets.
It's the third Leonidas Douailly has opened, but the first to serve crepes. One opened in Wilmette eight years ago, followed by another in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood.
The crepes are made from scratch with fresh fruits, Nutella or even Grand Marnier liqueur. The cafe also serves savory crepes, made with ham and cheese.
Patch caught Northbrook's Susan Young and Lynn Saegebrecht at the cafe, enjoying hot chocolate and scones.
"We come back for the hot cocoa," Young said. "It's amazing."
It was the second time the friends visited Leonidas together.
"I think you get a feeling of expertise," Saegebrecht said. "It just feels special."

Many IT departments have seen the benefits of implementing an enterprise-class tape library. No longer do administrators or tape librarians have to shuffle throughout the data center looking for and documenting the receipt of backup tapes. In addition, we now have a better idea about the validity of the data on the tapes that are collected for archival.
|Connecting libraries to SANs: dos and don'ts
Don't waste switch resources by using a port for each tape drive in the library.
Do conserve ports by using arbitrated loop switches to aggregate traffic from the fabric to the drives.
Of course, this is the end result of much planning, bumps, bruises and failed backups. Enterprise-class tape libraries are important to lowering the overall cost of storage management, software and hardware. However, to have any chance of achieving the ROI that you were promised by your vendors, a properly sized library with the correct tape format and library connectivity must be used.
Size matters
When I am performing interviews with application owners regarding the longevity of their application's data, rarely is there any mention of a corporate-wide data policy, nor is there any solicitation of information from the application's users. Instead, what usually happens is the application owner looks up at the ceiling and spouts out some safe number that doesn't necessarily coincide with the corporation's goals of profitability or liability for that matter.
If you can, have a corporate-wide data retention policy in place and signed by the chief in charge. What's needed here is a thorough risk analysis that combines input from the application users, the people responsible for providing recovery services and the people whose fate depends on the viability of the corporation after data is lost. You may also benefit from an outside vendor to provide industry experience and expertise.
The data retention policy will allow you to achieve some predictability in your tape usage, and as a result, in your tape and tape drive needs. With a referable corporate-wide data retention policy as your shield, you can start notifying departments of the enforced retention policy as soon as a decision has been made for departments to share a tape library.
Of course you'll often find that one person in particular will want to have more influence on the changes taking place. For example, your retention policy might indicate that all developmental databases are backed up completely once a week, and incrementally on every other day. However, the Oracle DBA may feel safer if you did a full backup every day. Resist - as long as you have the retention policy on your side. Take the default stance of deny, but do it nicely.
Even a small change like that can create problems with backup schedules. Pretty soon, you're experiencing other failures because resources (tape drives) that were previously available at 3 a.m. on Tuesday are no longer available because a storage policy was violated, without taking into account the available resources and the needs of other clients backing up at the same time.
|Off-site backup provides better disaster recovery
Once the retention policy has been implemented for a few quarters, and depending on the desired schedule of your tape vault vendor, you can determine how large of a tape library you'll need for your solution. Three quarters - including fiscal and calendar year end if possible - worth of trending data under the retention policy should give you some idea about the projected growth that your selected tape library must accommodate.
Tape drive selection
Determine whether your current media choice will provide your applications with the level of service it needs. For example, a backup and recovery solution will not necessarily use the same tape format as a hierarchical storage management (HSM) solution. You may have a couple of servers generating backup traffic to your tape library used for backups, and a couple hundred users generating read requests to the tape library supporting the HSM solution.
In that scenario, the library supporting the backup of a few servers may be best served by using DLT or LTO technologies. However, when those servers' data is migrated from disk to tape as a result of HSM, the larger user community could potentially overrun the HSM tape library because of the slow load times of the selected tape drive technology. Although it isn't desirable to support two tape formats, in some cases it may be necessary, depending on the traffic patterns of the applications involved.

Adobe PageMaker is document layout application, and is commonly used for desktop publishing. For more information see the vendor's website found at the following address.
Remote exploitation of a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe Systems Inc.'s PageMaker could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user.
A vulnerability exists within the handling of PMD files, the native file format for storing PageMaker documents. When parsing a malformed PMD file, data from the file is copied into a buffer without proper validation. This results in an exploitable stack based buffer overflow.
Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user opening the file. Exploitation would require that an attacker hosts a maliciously crafted document on a website and entice users to visit the site. An attacker could also e-mail the malicious document and use social engineering techniques to trick the e-mail recipient into opening the document.
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Adobe PageMaker version 7.0.1 with the CVE-2007-5169 patch applied. Previous versions may also be affected. However, Adobe InDesign CS, the successor to PageMaker, is not affected.
iDefense is currently unaware of any workarounds for this issue.
Adobe categorizes this as a critical issue and recommends affected users patch their installations, and avoid opening PageMaker files from untrusted or unknown sources. A patch is available from the vendor at the following URL:
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2008-6432 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Gender Neutral Marriage Certificates Proposed by State
Spaces on a marriage certificate once reserved for a "bride" and "groom" will become more gender-neutral in light of same-sex marriage becoming legal on Dec. 6.
Mags Hughes: This is what I wrote to the Washington State department of health comments section: Hello,
I understand that there is a change coming to the marriage certificates in Washington State. I am super pleased that gay marriage is allowed in Washington state and I would never want two people to not be able to marry based on who they love, however, why the generic Spouse A or Spouse B? Why not make it Bride/Groom, Bride/Groom and allow what ever fits to be circled? It could be two brides, 2 grooms or one of each.
Spouse A/B is NOT who they are, they are NOT married yet, they are about to be. A spouse is one who is already married. Keep it bride and groom, but add multiples of each to suit the couple being married.
Margaret Hughes (bride of 20 years to my groom John).
Anne M Cochez-Lind: I mind. I don't want to be a or b. how about bride and bride and groom and groom?
Angela Kuzior said she doesn't mind if wording is gender neutral: Not one bit. :)

Tech Central Station's Craig Winneker comments on Europe's reaction to the official birth of the Kyoto Protocol in the aptly titled, "Kyotophilia":
- Several deep, cleansing breaths have been necessary in the face of what can only be described as the religious fervor that greeted the coming of Kyoto in Europe's bureaucratic and political circles. It was practically a new EU holiday. Vigils were held, ribbon-cuttings performed, commemorative paraphernalia distributed, hosannas sung. The only thing missing was some sort of lofty anthem.
All this is strange, given that even Kyoto's most fervent apostles admit, when forced, that it will do little if anything to reverse global warming trends and will, instead, have a chilling effect on Europe's already frigid economy. But you wouldn't know that from the public reaction -- especially in the press -- to what quickly became known as "Kyoto Day."

Native American code talkers played a vital role in American military history. The "codes within codes" of various Native American tribes were never broken.
The brave soldiers were sworn to secrecy about the code, and all information pertaining to the code talkers were classified for decades. So much of the information was unknown, and the feats of these brave men are barely known.
Northeastern State University's library in Tahlequah is hosting the "Native Words, Native Warriors" exhibit, which details the use of Native American languages as codes during World War I and II.
The exhibit is on loan from the Smithsonian Institution and will be displayed on the second floor of the John Vaughan Library through April 7. The exhibit is free and open during library hours.
In addition to banners and documentary, the exhibit includes journals, historic photographs, war medals and military equipment, some of which are on loan from other museums.
The exhibit is a worthwhile endeavor if you are unaware of the code talkers, or if you know about them and want to learn even more.
You'll learn more than you would by watching a movie starring Nicolas Cage.
If you go
WHAT: "Native Words, Native Warriors" exhibit.
WHERE: John Vaughan Library, Northeastern State University, Tahlequah.
WHEN: Library hours, through April 7.
ADMISSION: Free.

I'd also like to inquire as to why there does not seem to be a template for Portfolios other than Portfolio 1, your demo shows two different Portfolio layouts…yet the only option I have in the WP admin is Portfolio 1, where is 2?
There are also no Blog templates either…Blog or Blog Detail – missing completely. This is why I can't display a blog…there is no template choices for it.
Please, I'm on a timeline and would greatly appreciate your support.
Your theme was properly installed via FTP. When I open the actual filed downloaded from Themeforest these templates are not there.
We have answered you on the support forum. Everything works fine if you read the documentation. The blog and portfolios are not templates, they are category listings. This is also explained quite well in the documentation.
I asked you to please not refer me back to your documentation because it was not making sense to me, and your full reply to me on the support forum was actually a bit insulting, not sure I understand why??
I know that the blog and portfolios are not templates, but there is NO TEMPLATE PAGE to select for the BLOG OR PORTFOLIO 2…so how does one create a link to the blog from the menu??? What "PAGE" is the for the blog?? Every Page has a template attached to it, does it not? So that it knows how to display? That is what I'm talking about here, and I imported your XML dummy data and nothing but one "Sample Page" showed up, so there are no example, nothing to go by nothing to use for reference.
PLEASE help. Thanks.
I see your replies on the forum now…thank you for your help. I understand now how you are not using templates for displaying the blog, but instead are adding the categories directly to the menu. This is very different from what I'm used to, but it works. Thank you and I will continue to work with you on the forum.
I'm currently experiencing the same issue with Portfolio's as mandygor.
When adding media to Portfolio using "Create Gallery" I get the same error message when clicking on images in those galleries: Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist
Something is happening when you add media gallery to portfolio, I also posted this in the forum. You already have my site login information. Thanks for your help
We know what is the cause of your problem – just like the other person that had this problem you missed something when you configured the gallery(also it's possible that the images are not at the correct location). We will login in your site and have a closer look.
I greatly appreciate the help, please tell me what you find because honestly I don't understand this. When I create the galleries, I make sure that I select "Link to Media" for each photo. Other than creating the gallery and setting what the image should link to, what other option is there for configuration? and how could my images not be in the correct location? I'm uploading them via the media uploader?
It works now. The settings were correct, but somehow the galleries were linking to attachment page instead of link to media.
We have switched the galleries settings to link to attachment page then again switch them back to link to media and everything works now. I don't know at the moment what is the cause of this but for now it's fixed.
Oh good, then I wasn't going nuts LOL Alright, thanks so much for looking into this for me.
hi, what fonts you are using in this template?
We only used windows fonts.
The header titles h1-h5 and body font is Georgia. H6 and certain elements such as blog post information(posted on, read more button) are using Arial.
We didn't use any custom fonts in this theme.
Kind regards,
Goldenworks team.
thank you. another question- i want the slider post to be without sidebar. where do i change that? the sliders do not have an option of page attribute. thank you.
The file you need to edit is either single-slider1.php or single-slider2.php, depending on what slider type you are using. Please come to our support forum ( http://goldenworks.eu/support/ ) for exact instructions about how to remove the sidebar from these files.
hello. can i use the slider in a page except the hompage. i want to add a gallery to a page but i wonder if i can display the gallery like the slider?
We have answered your questions in your other post.
hello. i have three questions: 1. do you know about any issues with the gallery in IE? in IE i see only the thumbnails in the gallery and not the big image above them. only in IE. 2. i have many categories in my portfolio and the filter work good on the portfolio page, but once i click on the image and the gallery opens it shows all the categories together even if i opened the gallery when i'm in one specific category. can i fix that? 3. can i use the slider in a any page or only the homepage? thank you, Nextappeal.
Hello nextappeal,
1. Yes the gallery has a small issue in ie8 that we will try to address in the near future. While you see in any internet explorer this problem, this can be easily addressed by changing the theme's default browser mode to ie9(the browser mode is set in theme's header but can be very easily changed so that the gallery will display fine in ie9-ie10 until we fix it for ie8).
2. Gallery filtering is done only via a jQuery effect which means that all the images from all category listings will still be available via lightbox arrows. This can be easily changed so that once you click on an image gallery, only the bigger version of that image will be available and no navigation arrows present at all in the lightbox.
3. There are 2 homepage templates that contain the slider(since there are 2 slider types, each of the 2 templates has it's own slider). So the answer is no, the slider can't be displayed on other pages but you have the flexibility of adding content to a homepage template: you can insert any theme elements in a homepage content and also galleries such as this one – http://localhost/wordpress_sm/?portfolio_1=a-romantic-coffee . And there is one more notable feature – you can display the whole blog section inside any of the 2 homepage templates, so you can basically have a blog page with slider if needed.
We will give you exact directions on our support forum( http://goldenworks.eu/support/ ) for points 1 & 2 if you need them. Just register and post your questions and our staff will handle it.
Kind regards,
Goldenworks team.

I'm trying to figure out how to make a multilangual site with qTranslate and Smoke&Mirors theme, but i cant can you advice. The main problem is that this code when used in portfolio category name <
-:->< -:-> gets sanitized. This is what i think – can you advice
Hello woptimize,
Unfortunately we can't be of any help here because we don't have any experience with this plugin. Since you are referring to data sanitize, maybe it's an issue between wordpress and qTranslate, not something related to the theme. You might also try this version:https://github.com/not-only-code/qtranslate-slug
But again, I don't know whether it will work or not. In regards with translation plugins, we want to make make sure that in the near future all our themes will be compatible with WPML, since it looks like that this is the most popular choice used by clients.
My client just informed me the twitter widget is not working – how can I fix this?
Twitter widget has been fixed via update 1-2 months ago, so basically you should update the theme to the latest version. However we have an issue in the latest version with home slider 1 not working properly.
A new theme update will be sent today to fix the slider and after that it's safe to update.
The latest version with slider fix has been accepted, so it's safe to update.
When I update the theme – don't I loose all my custom work? What is the best way to update with out loosing the work I have done such as logo – colors – background to theme?
If you made changes to the theme files and install the update over the old theme files, then you will lose those changes.
In regards with logo, no that setting won't be lost(posts, pages, categories, menu will also be kept). In regards with colors, since you most likely had to change the default skin colors, yes those will be lost. The best thing to proceed here is to save in another place your modified skin file and paste it over the one from the latest theme version.
In regards with the background, the way this works has been completely changed in version 1.4 because it didn't stay fixed on scroll on ipads / iphones, so you will have to add it from Appearance -> Theme Options(the setting from Appearance -> Background has been removed).
Let us know if you have more questions.
Will this theme be updated for WordPress 3.6?
Hello PamelaS,
The theme is already compatible with wordpress 3.6. If by any chance you encounter an issue, please come to our support forum:http://goldenworks.eu/support/

Hi I have an issue where the single portfolio 2 posts wont display. I have added the link to the site below:http://development.hanselldesign.co.uk/brown/?portfolio2_categories=case-studies
Your help on this matter would be appreciated.
Hello Hanselldesign,
The solution for the issue you are having has been posted here:http://www.goldenworks.eu/support/topic/slider-links-go-to-blank-page
Might want to reflect that it works with WP 3.8.1 in the item details on the item front page. I had bookmarked this theme a few months ago for a possible purchase and had I not read these comments may have removed it from my bookmarks as not acceptable for purchase because it does not say WP 3.8.1 ready on item details. People often times, glance at something beautiful like this, see WP 3.5 on item details and then move on to the next one. I love the theme and has forwarded a link to my brother in law whom I will be creating a site for to see if he agrees it is perfect for him. Looking forward to a possible purchase and fun time creating with it. You've made a gorgeous theme.
Hello LeilasLass,
Thank you for commenting. Yes the theme is compatible with wordpress 3.8.1. We will edit the theme details to reflect this.
Kind regards,

It seems there is an issue with the drop down menus. On my laptop they fall behind the footer you have for selecting theme colours and doesn't allow access to the nav items which get lost.
Menu > Demo > Shortcodes > ( I can only see as far as lists )
Hello ryanhamilton,
The footer bar for selecting the theme colors is for demo purposes only. It's not included in the theme files that are purchased by the buyer so this is not an issue.
Kind regards,

One thing that I have learned as the parent of a teen is that you do not want to suggest anything that will make them look or feel differently than those around them. The peer group is very strong and very important, and it is not a good idea to insist on anything that could make your child that much different from the other kids that they are in school with. So for us, it was hard to convince our daughter that it was time to consider the issue of braces. I'm not really sure why we let it get this far along, as the orthodontist has been telling us for years that she was going to need to get them eventually. But she was never interested in talking about it, or in trying it out. And now I think that is because no one else in the school at the time had braces. She didn't want to be the only one. We are a few years past those early junior high days, and now there are many kids in her school who have braces. The subject is a bit easier to approach now, and the fact that we take her to i-Ortho helps as well. They are really incredible about talking to teens and explaining why doing the braces now is so much better than waiting until you are an adult. And they also have options that did not used to exist. The invisalign braces are now made for teens with smaller mouths and different needs, and they are able to use that to get more teens to sign up to get the braces on their teeth.
Any invention that helps teens get past the angst and into the stage where they realize that this will end and it is best to do it now and get it over with is much better than not. We have finally convinced her that it won't last forever, and that when they are off she will be so much happier that she did it and that she won't have to do it as an adult. The invisalign teen is also great because you really can't tell that they are wearing them. That means that she is not nearly as self conscious as we were afraid the braces would make her, and she isn't scared to talk in front of the class or to socialize. This is something that we were really wanting for her with this process, and the i-Ortho staff was great at explaining all the options that she had and with helping to get her into the perfect pair of braces for her teeth and her needs. It is no wonder that they were voted by they magazine readers of Denver to be the best orthodontist and orthopedic surgeon. We have loved going there, and I know that she has had a great time with them as well. We could not have done it without them, and it took all of us working together to convince her that braces were the way to go.
