- "I'll only ask you once, Lord Snow... Are you a brother of the Night's Watch, or a bastard boy who wants to play at war?"
- ―Jeor Mormont to Jon Snow
BackgroundJon is the bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell, the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms in Westeros, and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rules the region from their seat of Winterfell and Eddard also holds the title Lord of Winterfell. He is also the Warden of the North to King Robert Baratheon.[1]
Eddard once told King Robert Baratheon that Jon's mother is a serving girl named Wylla, but refused to elaborate any further. Jon himself has no knowledge of his mother.[2]Jon was raised at Winterfell on an equal footing with Eddard's legitimate children. He has an older half-brother Robb, two younger half-sisters Sansa and Arya, and two younger half-brothers Bran and Rickon. Jon's presence at Winterfell is a source of friction between Eddard and his wife, Catelyn, although Catelyn put aside her anger temporarily when the infant Jon became severely ill. Jon got on well with his half-siblings, particularly Robb and Arya.[3]
Season 1Jon Snow and Robb instruct Bran in archery, when they learn about a captured deserter. Jon accompanies his father, Robb, Bran and Theon Greyjoy to the beheading of a deserter from the Night's Watch; it is Bran's first time watching his father carry out an execution. Jon praises Bran afterwards for keeping his composure. On their way back to Winterfell, they find a dead direwolf and six newborn pups. Jon talks Lord Eddard into allowing the young Starks to adopt them, pointing out that a direwolf is the sigil of House Stark: given that there are five direwolves and five trueborn Stark children, it must be a sign from the Old Gods that the Stark children are meant to have the pups. In order to make this point, Jon intentionally leaves himself out of the count of Stark children, and when Bran asks about this Jon responds that he is not a Stark. However, just as they are about to leave, they find the runt of the litter, an albino, which crawled away from its mother's corpse. As an outsider like himself, Jon takes this direwolf as his own, naming him Ghost. Treated coldly by his stepmother, Jon decides to approach his uncle Benjen and offer to join the Night's Watch.[4] He meets Tyrion Lannister, a dwarf who knows what it is like to be an outcast. Tyrion tells him to wear the name "bastard" as a badge of honor, so no one can hurt him with the word.
Jon has a run in with Jaime Lannister who sarcastically thanks him for protecting all of them from all of the terrible things that allegedly exist beyond the Wall, in order to taunt him. Before Jon departs for the Wall, he says goodbye to Bran, who has been injured in a fall. He gives Arya a sword named Needle that he had made especially for her, advising her to "stick them with the pointy end." At their parting, Eddard vows to tell Jon the truth about his mother the next time they meet. Jon is accompanied by his uncle Benjen and Tyrion Lannister, who has expressed a desire to see the Wall (and pee off of it) before he dies.[5]
At Castle Black, Jon's expectations of the Night's Watch are confounded. Instead of a brotherhood of noble warriors sworn to defend the realm from wildlings and White Walkers, he realizes the Watch is a dumping ground for criminals and wastrels. He earns the enmity of Ser Alliser Thorne, the Master-at-Arms in charge of training new recruits. He humiliates his fellow recruits with his superior fighting skills, learned from Winterfell's Master-at-Arms over the course of many years. Benjen stands with Jon on his first watch and tells him that he is going ranging North of the Wall. Jon is keen to accompany him but Benjen insists that he complete his training. Tyrion helps Jon see that he is no better than the recruits but has been afforded more advantages than them. Jon offers to train some of his new brothers and Pypar and Grenn accept.[6] He also befriends Samwell Tarly when he arrives at Castle Black and helps to protect him from the cruelty of Thorne. Thorne angrily tells Jon that going easy on Sam won't help him, and will risk getting him killed during the next winter.[7]
After completing his training, Jon is inducted into the Night's Watch and swears his oath. He is assigned to the stewards rather than the rangers, and at first thinks it is due to his ongoing feud with Ser Alliser Thorne. However, Sam points out that Lord Commander Jeor Mormont has asked for Jon as his personal steward, and may be grooming him for command. Jon is concerned when his Uncle Benjen's horse returns to the Wall riderless. Later, Ghost finds the corpses of two rangers assigned to Benjen, Othor and Ser Jafer Flowers.[8] Learning of Eddard's imprisonment in King's Landing, Thorne taunts Jon about being a traitor's bastard, causing Jon to draw a knife. He is restricted to quarters. Later, Othor's corpse becomes a wight and attacks Commander Mormont. Jon saves Mormont's life by burning the wight, earning a pardon for his earlier misdemeanour.[9] Mormont also gives Jon his Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw. Jon ponders abandoning the Watch to join Robb's army when it marches against the Lannisters, but Maester Aemon tells him that he chose to stay with the Watch when he was similarly tested, when Robert Baratheon's rebels slew his nephew the Mad King and his son and grandchildren.[10]
News of Eddard's execution reaches Castle Black. Jon immediately leaves, meaning to join Robb and seek vengeance for his father's death. Samwell, Pypar and Grenn intercept him and convince him to stay. Mormont tells Jon their war against the White Walkers is more important than the game of thrones in King's Landing. He tells Jon that the Watch is marching beyond the Wall in force, to find Benjen and learn the truth about the threat. Jon swears to him not to attempt to desert again and accompanies the troops as they set out.[11]
Season 2
Lord Commander Jeor Mormont prepares Jon for a command role as the Great Ranging travels North seeking Benjen Stark and an explanation for the wight attack. They pass through several abandoned wildling villages before arriving at the home of their unsavory ally Craster. Jon is perplexed when he learns that Craster marries his daughters but apparently has no sons. He takes an instant dislike to Craster when they meet with him. The feeling is mutual but Craster does reveal to Jeor that he has not seen Benjen and that the wildlings are gathering with their leader, King Beyond the Wall Mance Rayder. Jeor reprimands Jon for failing to follow his lead with Craster.[12]
Samwell Tarly appeals to Jon to aid Craster's pregnant daughter wife Gilly. She is afraid of having a son but will not say why. Jon is frustrated and refuses to disobey Jeor's order to leave Craster's wives alone. Jon sees Craster carrying a newborn into the woods and follows him. He sees Craster leave the child for a White Walker but does not recognize the creature. Craster spots him and knocks him out.[13] Craster disarms Jon and drags him back to his keep. He expels the rangers from his home. Jeor reveals that he knew that Craster was sacrificing his sons but chose to ignore it because of his usefulness as an ally.[14]
The rangers reach the ancient fortified peak known as the Fist of the First Men and await Qhorin Halfhand and his party from The Shadow Tower. When Qhorin arrives he suggests altering their tactics and using small groups to overcome Mance's lookouts in the Skirling Pass. Jon asks to join Qhorin's raiders and Jeor lets him go.[15]
Qhorin leads his men into the pass and they locate and ambush the wildling watchers. Jon realizes his opponent is a woman and hesitates to kill her. She introduces herself as Ygritte but does not give away details of Mance's plans. Qhorin leaves Jon alone to execute Ygritte. Jon is unable to do it and she escapes. He pursues and recaptures her but they become separated from Qhorin's group. Jon decides they cannot regroup with Qhorin due to the approaching night. Ygritte convinces Jon to sleep next to her to share body heat and keep warm, and then makes sexual advances towards him. Jon rejects the temptation to break his oath.[16]
As he unties Ygritte's legs to continue his search for the rest of the raiders, she tells him that she knows that he is a virgin. He uses some the rope that's binding her as a leash. As they walk, Ygritte questions Jon as to why the men of the Night's Watch hate the wildlings. She explains that they share the blood of the first men and just happened to be on the wrong side of the wall when it was built. She urges him to forget about his oath and live free. Another sexual advance from Ygritte prompts him to reach for his sword. She backs away and trips him with the rope when he's caught off guard. He pursues her but is ambushed and taken captive. Ygritte tells him that he should've took her when he had the chance.[17]
Ygritte brings Jon to the Lord of Bones and convinces him that Mance will want to question Jon. The Lord of Bones has a prisoner of his own; Qhorin. The Halfhand tells Jon that the rest of the men were killed while they searched for him. He urges Jon to make their deaths meaningful and become a spy within the wildling ranks. He then feigns anger with Jon until he is restrained after managing to knock Jon over.[18]
As they make their way to Mance, Ygritte continues to playfully mock Jon by tapping him on the head with the flat of his sword. Qhorin uses the distraction to advance his plan to portray Jon as a traitor to the Night's Watch. He attacks Jon, and the Lord of Bones allows them to fight. Jon is initially reluctant until Qhorin calls his father a traitor and his mother a whore. Jon slays Qhorin, stunning Ygritte and the rest of the band. Qhorin whispers a line from the Night's Watch oath to Jon with his dying breath. Jon's hands are freed, and Ygritte leads him to the crest of the mountain to look over the massive wildling encampment.[19]
Season 3
As Jon Snow is led by Ygritte and the Lord of Bones into the main wildling camp in the Frostfangs mountains, he discovers that almost all of wildling society is on the move to escape the White Walkers, including the women and children. As they enter the camp, Jon is shocked to see a real-life giant walk past. Many of the wildlings are surprised to see Jon in his all-black Night's Watch clothing and shout "crow!" at his approach. Several young boys pelt Jon with ice and small stones but Ygritte shoos them away.
Jon is led into the tent of the King-Beyond-the-Wall, Mance Rayder, where the Lord of Bones explains that he is Ned Stark's bastard son to a large man with a heavy beard who is eating chicken by the fire. He says he doesn't care, but his interest is piqued on hearing that Jon killed Qhorin Halfhand. As they talk Jon kneels before the man, whom he assumes to be Mance Rayder, and calls him "your Grace". This causes all of the wildlings to burst out laughing. As it turns out this isn't Mance, but his lieutenant Tormund Giantsbane. The real Mance is an unassuming man sitting in a corner, who then introduces himself and tells Jon to stand, as no man kneels before another among the Free Folk, as they do not recognize a class of nobility in their culture.
Mance says he is glad that Jon killed Qhorin, as he had killed many of Mance's wildlings. Mance asks Jon why he wants to join them and he replies he wants to be free, but Mance doesn't believe this. Jon then explains that when the Night's Watch camped at Craster's Keep, he saw Craster leave his newborn son in the woods as an offering, and the inhuman creature that took it. Jon says that he wants to leave the Night's Watch because he is disgusted that Mormont already knew what Craster was doing but did nothing to stop it. Jon states that the First Men he is descended from defeated the White Walkers once during The Long Night, and that now he wants "to fight for the side who fights for the living". Mance is satisfied and advised Jon to get a new cloak. [20]
Jon Snow then marches South with the Free Folk army and Mance Rayder. Mance explains that his army is a diverse force, formed of about ninety different groups or clans of wildlings, who speak seven different languages, and have numerous internal rivalries. However, he managed to unite them all by telling them the truth: that they will all die if they remain north of the Wall. Mance brings Jon to one of his scouts, Orell. He is sitting silently with his eyes rolled back as an eagle circles above him. Mance says that he is a "warg". Jon doesn't know what that is, so Mance explains that a warg is a person who is capable of entering the mind of an animal, seeing what it sees and even controlling its actions. Orell controls his menagerie to scout miles ahead. Mance asks him what he has seen, and Orell says he saw the Fist of the First Men - and many dead "crows". [21]
As Jon Snow and the free folk arrive at the Fist of the First Men, they survey the bloody aftermath of assault on the Night's Watch by the White Walkers and their army of undead Wights. However they only find corpses of horses and no human remains. Jon says that there were three hundred men of the Night's Watch at the Fist, and asks Mance if Mormont could still be alive. Mance says that with Mormont, it's possible he was able to escape, but that even if he did he and his men took quite a beating and are trapped miles away from the Wall with the White Walkers in close pursuit. Mance warns Jon that all of the missing corpses from the Fist are no longer his friends and brothers from the Night's Watch, but have been resurrected as undead monsters who serve the White Walkers. Jon reluctantly agrees.
Mance orders Tormund to take a force of twenty men to scale The Wall to attack Castle Black from its exposed rear. Mance's plan is for Tormund's small band to distract Castle Black by attacking their exposed southern side, at which point Mance's main army will assault it from the north. Tormund will know that Mance is in position when his army makes a massive signal fire. Mance orders Tormund to take Jon with him, as Jon knows the layout of Castle Black, and it will prove a key test of his loyalty: if it turns out that he won't really betray the Night's Watch, Tormund can easily throw him off the Wall to his death. [22]
On their way to the Wall and Castle Black, Jon and Ygritte are gathering firewood, when the warg Orell asks him about the defenses of the Night's Watch. Orell has seen through the eyes of his eagle that there are patrols on top of the Wall and he wants to know how frequent they are. Jon says they usually sent out patrols in teams of four, two builders to inspect for structural damage and two rangers to protect them, but that the frequency of their patrols often changes. Orell says the wildlings know there are nineteen castles along the south side of the Wall, but he wants to know how many are currently manned. Jon finds this very unpleasant, but reluctantly says that only three are currently manned. Apart from Castle Black, there is also Eastwatch-by-the-Sea at the extreme eastern end, and The Shadow Tower at the western end. Jon is then asked how many men currently garrison Castle Black. Jon is very reluctant to answer, but after being threatened by Orell, he gives an exaggerated number, saying there are one thousand men (this is a lie, as Castle Black only had six hundred men before the Great Ranging, and the garrison now is closer to three hundred). Tormund tells Jon that he likes him, but if he's lying to them, he'll rip his guts out through his throat.
Jon and Ygritte then walk away, but she steals his sword Longclaw, making him chase her to get it back. She leads him into a nearby cave. Ygritte starts disrobing, and says that she wants to make sure Jon Snow has truly come over to the wildlings' side and broken his Night's Watch vows - by making him break his oath of celibacy with her. She quickly shucks off all of her clothes and walks up to him naked. Jon is very hesitant at first, but they soon end up having sex in the cave.
Afterwards Jon and Ygritte lay together in a naked embrace and Ygritte tells Jon she wishes they could stay in this cave forever. [23]
He joins a wildling party led by Tormund Giantsbane to climb the Wall. Beforehand, he is questioned by Ygritte about their relationship and his allegiance to the Night's Watch, saying that he must be loyal to her instead. During the climb, Ygritte causes part of the ice to break, leaving them hanging in the air by the rope. Orell, believing them to be lost, cuts it. Jon manages to save himself and Ygritte by climbing back to the ice. The two return to the climb and reach the top, where Ygritte gazes at the North and the South, before they kiss. [24]
After surviving the perilous climb of the Wall, Jon Snow, Ygritte and the wildlings led by Tormund Giantsbane make their way towards Castle Black to await Mance Rayder's signal to begin the attack on the Night's Watch. Afterwards Jon confronts Orell about cutting his and Ygritte's rope loose on The Wall, nearly killing the both of them in the process. Orell tells Jon that he doesn't see Ygritte complaining about what happened because she is a wildling and understood what needed to be done in a pressure situation, also telling Jon that this is the reason he will never be able to keep her. During the journey through the woods, a clearly jealous Orell confronts Ygritte and says that he would be a better man for her than Jon Snow, whilst continuing to express his distrust in Jon. Jon also tries to persuade Ygritte that the wildlings' cause is doomed to failure, but she refuses to listen and points out that Jon is technically one of them; if it fails, so does he. She renews her passion for him and tells him bluntly that if they die, they die, but before they die they will live.[25]
Jon Snow and the wildling party prepare to raid an elderly horse breeder's home for his horses and gold; Jon insists that the old man is no threat to them, but Orell and Tormund Giantsbane intend to kill the man so as to stop him from alerting the Night's Watch to their presence. However, when the party attacks the farmstead, Jon surreptitiously hits a rock with his sword, alerting the old man who flees; Jon also distracts Ygritte when she tries to shoot the fleeing man with an arrow. While in the abandoned mill not far away from the wildlings, Bran and Jojen Reed discuss how they plan to cross the Wall, before Meera spots the old horse breeder riding nearby. After the old man is captured by the wildlings, Hodor — scared by the thunder — begins yelling, which threatens to give away their location to the wildlings. Bran uses his Warg abilities to enter Hodor's mind and cause him to pass out.
Outside, Tormund moves to kill the old man, but Orell tells him to have Jon do it instead to prove his loyalty. Jon is ultimately unable to kill the innocent man, and instead Ygritte kills the man with an arrow. Realising that Jon is still loyal to the Night's Watch, Tormund orders his men to kill Jon; Tormund restrains Ygritte to stop her trying to help Jon, and soon after Jon battles with Orell. At the urging of Jojen, Bran enters the mind of Summer, his direwolf, to aid Jon. Summer and Shaggydog kill two wildlings threatening Jon as he battles to the death with Orell and finally kills him. With the last of his strength Orell wargs into the mind of his pet eagle, which swoops down and attacks Jon, clawing him badly about the face before he fights the bird off. Jon then steals a horse and escapes, leaving Ygritte and heading back to the Wall.[26]
Stopping to rest and tend to his injury, Jon is confronted by a furious Ygritte, who has an arrow ready to shoot him. Jon tries to talk Ygritte out of shooting him, insisting that he still loves her. Though his feelings are clearly reciprocated Ygritte is still angered by his betrayal and shoots Jon three times with her bow as he flees from her. Jon is badly injured, but his horse manages to carry him the rest of the way to Castle Black, as he hovers in and out of consciousness. Having reached safety, Jon is brought inside the castle by the guards, where he encounters Sam and Pypar, who are overjoyed to see him and insist that his injuries be taken care of.[27]
Season 4
Jon survives the injuries inflicted by Ygritte and has largely recovered, though he still grimaces while getting dressed. At some point, Jon has been told about Robb's death. He shares with Sam that he had always been jealous of Robb for have more of their father's affection and for being better than him at riding and fighting and with girls. Still, he says he could ever bring himself to hate Robb. Sam responds by saying he has felt the same way about Jon, that Jon is better than him at everything (except reading). It turns out that Sam had been sent to retrieve Jon, who has been summoned to testify before a panel of five sworn brothers, including Maestor Aemon, acting Lord Commander Alliser Thorne, and Janos Slynt. At the hearing Jon admits to killing Qhorin Halfhand, to living amongst the wildlings, and even to having bedded one. He also states that Mance intends to attack and gives intel on his plans and strength. Both Slynt and Thorne are openly hostile to Jon, disbelieving much of what he says and call for his execution. Aemon, however, realizes that Jon is speaking the truth, and the hearing ends with Jon being allowed to keep his head.[28]

Behind the scenes
On the Season 3 Blu-ray, Jon narrates the Histories & Lore video "The North".
- "I never met my mother. My father wouldn't even tell me her name. I don't know if she's living or dead. I don't know if she's a noblewoman or a fisherman's wife or a whore..."
- ―Jon Snow to Samwell Tarly
- "There's great honor serving in the Night's Watch. The Starks have manned the wall for thousands of years, and you are a Stark. You may not have my name, but you have my blood."
- ―Eddard Stark to Jon Snow
- "Is my mother alive? Does she know about me? Where I am, where I'm going? Does she care?"
- ―Jon Snow to Eddard Stark
- "The next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother. I promise."
- ―Eddard Stark's final words to Jon Snow
- "Let me tell you something, bastard. Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you."
- ―Tyrion Lannister to Jon Snow
- "A bastard boy with nothing to inherit, off to join the ancient order of the Night's Watch. Alongside his valiant brothers in arms..."
- ―Tyrion Lannister to Jon Snow
- "Honor made you leave, and honor brought you back."
- ―Jeor Mormont to Jon Snow
- "Your death will be a gift for them south of the Wall. They'll never know what you've done. They'll never know how you died. They won't even know your damn name. But they'll be alive because some nameless bastard north of the Wall gave his life for theirs..."
- ―Qhorin to Jon Snow
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Jon is 14 years old when the story begins. Jon resembles his father with a lean build, long face, and gray eyes, more than any of his true-born children. He feels alienated from his family because of his bastard status and the coldness of Lady Catelyn, who sees him as an interloper in her family. At the feast to welcome King Robert Jon is made to sit with the commoners, far from his father and brothers, as Catelyn fears that the king or queen would take insult at sharing a table with a bastard. This coincides with the visit by his uncle Benjen, and (emboldened by having more than he is used to drinking) makes Jon realize that his future may lie outside Winterfell's walls. His uncle frustrates Jon by telling him to wait a few years before deciding, but when Eddard decides to go to King's Landing, Lady Catelyn refuses to allow Jon to remain behind at Winterfell. Catelyn was relieved because when Jon joined the Watch he forsook any right to inheritance, and could never challenge her own sons for Winterfell. Nor did Catelyn have to pressure Jon into joining: he went to the Wall of his own volition, albeit because he'd been raised on legends of the former glories of the Night's Watch, and didn't realize that most of its current members weren't like his uncle.
When Qhorin Halfhand's men attack the wildling lookouts, Jon kills one, but hesitates killing the other when he realizes Ygritte is a woman. Jon says they can question her, but they don't learn much. Jon is sent by Qhorin to kill her, but instead he lets her go. Jon returns to Qhorin and later confesses that he let Ygritte go. Qhorin isn't too worried and says it was a test to learn what Jon would do. The ranging goes badly as they are pursued and tracked, losing horses and men until only Jon and Qhorin are left. Before they are caught, he orders Jon to do whatever it takes to prove himself to the wildlings: take any oath, burn his cloak, curse its leaders. Qhorin insists to him that one black brother inside of Mance Rayder's camp is worth a hundred at the Wall. When captured, Qhorin goes berserk when Jon asks to join the wildlings, and attacks him, intentionally letting Jon kill him to gain the wildlings' trust.
Jon severely burned his right hand when he killed the wight Othor to save Lord Commander Mormont's life. While he lost no function in it, as a result of the burns his right hand and some of his forearm were left covered in scar tissue, which would never heal back to normal. People tend not to notice, because in the cold temperatures at the Wall and beyond, Jon and other members of the Night's Watch usually wear heavy gloves over both hands.
After Jon kills Orell, part of Orell's consciousness survives by warging into his eagle, after which Orell's mind controlling the eagle's body attempts to claw out Jon's eye with its talons (which occurred in Season 3 of the TV series). The attack leaves permanent deep scars over Jon's eye. However, rather than disfiguring him, characters within the narrative point out that they think it makes him ruggedly handsome. Stereotypical Fantasy heroes usually never get significantly hurt, at worst getting scars running over their eyes which make them look "cool". Author George R.R. Martin spent much of the books deconstructing or subverting traditional Fantasy literature stereotypes, making Westeros a gritty and realistic setting where instead of all of the main characters miraculously surviving through battles unscathed, some are horribly maimed (i.e. Jaime Lannister does not get a dashingly roguish scar over his eye - he outright loses his sword hand). In contrast, Jon Snow actually does behave like a traditionally heroic character, but put in the dark setting of Westeros - and as a result, Jon does end up getting "cool hero scars" over his eye.

Local schools react to the Connecticut shooting(WDAY TV) -- It's the second deadliest school shooting in our country's history.
(WDAY TV) -- It's the second deadliest school shooting in our country's history.
And the fact it happened at an elementary school, has people across the country feeling for those parents. Police say the shooting took place in 2 rooms, but aren't releasing details on how it unfolded.
It happened in Newtown, Connecticut. Police say the shooter, 20 year old Adam Lanza killed 26 people, including 20 children before turning a gun on himself.
His mother is a teacher at the school and presumed to be one of the dead.
Surviving students told stories of hearing a lot of gun shots, huddling in corners and hiding in closets.
Some parents in Fargo were emotional as they picked up their children at school. Local officials say these students go through lockdown drills, in case there's an intruder. And will discuss if there's more to be done for student protection.
Dr. Jeffrey Schatz/Superintendent of Fargo Public Schools say, "will this cause us to continue to have those conversations? You bet. And we're always looking at what can we do better? As with any scenario you have to look at what occurred and are we prepared for something like that?"
Tonight at ten, Counselors tell us if this is something you should talk to your young children about, and how to respond if they have questions.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — The Central Michigan baseball team saw its three-game win streak snapped Sunday in the finale of the Snowbird Baseball Classic, falling to Georgetown in 15 innings, 4-3.
The Chippewas (6-9) got another strong performance out of freshman outfielder Logan Regnier, who went 3-for-7 with a bases clearing triple, and senior Rick Dodridge struck out a season-high seven over six strong innings, but they were unable to hold off the Hoyas.
Regnier broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth with his team-best third triple of the season to plate redshirt freshman Neal Jacobs, sophomore Alec Ornelas and junior Noel Santos.
Dodridge was rolling through the Hoyas' lineup and gave up just one hit through the first five innings before they were able to cut into the Chippewas' lead.
A single by Eric Webber started the bottom of the sixth for the Hoyas and the freshman moved up on a single by senior Trevor Matern. The two runners came across to score two batters later on a two-RBI single by Christian Venditti that cut their deficit to one, 3-2.
Sophomore Dylan Rheault came on to relieve Dodridge in the seventh and a pair of errors on the pitcher allowed senior Paul Bello to reach and later come around to score to tie the game, 3-3.
The Chippewas had a chance to win the game in the top of the ninth when junior Noel Santos reached on an error and moved into scoring position on a single by Regnier, but he was thrown out trying to score on a single by sophomore Pat MacKenzie in the next at bat.
Sophomore closer Matt Trowbridge came on kept the game scoreless by continuing his hot stretch of strikeouts. Trowbridge gave CMU four strong innings out of the bullpen and struck out six in the process, striking out the side in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings.
The Hoyas were finally able to claim the victory in the bottom of the 15th when Webber led off with a single to right field, moved to second on a single by Matern and came home on a walk-off single by Justin Leeson.
CMU is scheduled to play its home opener Tuesday afternoon versus Madonna at 3:05 p.m.

Criminal Justice Degrees - Columbia Southern University
Let Columbia Southern University help you change your community with an MBA in...
Igualdo knew Young couldn't wait for an ambulance and called for a "load and go" when a sergeant pulled up in a cageless supervisor vehicle. During the bumpy ride to Highland, Officer Cercedes asked Young about his children and his 40th birthday, as he rode in the back seat. Anything to keep Young's mind off the gunshot wound.
"We were trying to save a dying man's life," Igualdo says later about his decision to not wait for the ambulance. "If you believe you can get [the downed officer] to the hospital faster than an ambulance, then it's best to transport."
On the ride, Young grew pale. His mind raced with thoughts about catching Barrientos. Police radio traffic in the car chirped questions about the shooter's identity, and Young called out the shooter's name, date of birth, and warrants.
In the OR
Once he reached the operating room, Young's condition deteriorated.
"In the OR, we were trying to stabilize the patient," Dr. Sadjadi says. "With gunshots to the torso, the thing that kills people first is blood loss. That's the issue you have to address during the Golden Hour."
The "golden hour" is how trauma doctors refer to the time they have to save a patient with severe bleeding from a devastating injury. Young reached the operating room about 30 minutes after he was shot, which didn't give Sajadi much of a margin.
The OR staff opened up Young and saw the severe bleeding firsthand. Sadjadi began to tie-off the damaged artery, and once it stopped, Sadjadi began stuffing absorbent laparotomy pads into Young's abdomen to stop the bleeding.
Anesthesiologists continued feeding blood into Young intravenously. "My goal was to plug the sink, and their job was to keep the sink filled," Sadjadi says. Doctors fed 64 units (or pints) of red cells and another 40 units of platelets and plasma into Young—or more than five times the amount of blood in the human body—to keep him alive.
Young needed so much blood that the American Red Cross packed additional units into a cooler and sent the blood to Highland's OR via taxi.
Newspaper accounts of the incident brought a flood of calls to the Red Cross from law enforcement officers wanting to donate blood to help save Young. The response was so overwhelming that the Northern California Blood Service Region's Oakland donor center often resembled a police substation.
"People really came out to support Todd," says Sara O'Brien, the center's spokesperson. "We had weeks of blood drives. Everyone would like to know it was their unit that saved the police officer. But we need all types of blood."
Taking Down the Shooter
As doctors worked to save Young, his assailant, Barrientos, fled in a green Mazda 626 sedan he had carjacked from a convenience store a block away from the shooting. His mother told police that her son called her to tell her he had shot an officer. He then headed to meet a friend.

Prior to joining KCTV 5 News, Dave worked in New Orleans where he covered a number of stories including federal corruption trials involving NOPD officers and politicians, severe weather and the city's famed Mardi Gras celebration.
During his previous tenure KWTV-TV in Oklahoma City, Dave launched several investigations and broke several stories. His investigation into Snyder City Government led to the resignation of three city council members, including the Mayor and triggered an investigation by the State Auditor's office which concluded that funds were misappropriated. In a separate investigation, Dave uncovered documents that showed the state legislature was looking into closing three prisons and replacing them with private facilities. Senate leaders initially denied those plans were in the works. Dave also obtained exclusive video of an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper choking a paramedic during the transport of a patient. His coverage of that attack made headlines nationwide and led to the trooper's suspension. As a result of this story, Dave was awarded a 1st Place Award for Investigative Journalism by the Society of Professional Journalists/Oklahoma Chapter.

GALLATIN, Tenn. – More twists
in the Lindsey Lowe murder trial Friday as the defense put two doctors on the
stand to show the Hendersonville woman didn't know what she was doing when her
newborns died.
The judge
ended proceedings for the day around 3 p.m. because one attorney had a death in
the family.
forensic Dr. William Kenner was on the stand for the second day for cross-examination
by prosecutors. He said Lowe almost always didn't know she was pregnant until
she had Baby Boy #1.
felt something coming out of her and she thought it was her whole insides were
coming out, some kind of massive tumor. It was only when she eventually felt an
ear that it was like 'oh, this makes sense' and at that point she knew she was
having a baby," Kenner testified.
Kenner also
referenced Lowe even mistook lactating colostrum, the precursor to breast milk,
as breast cancer.
attorneys then seemed to steal the show, revealing some of the Google searches
found on Lindsey Lowe's iPhone in the days leading up to her pregnancy.
Testimony revealed Friday that a woman accused of smothering her newborn twins search for information about pregnancy only days before giving birth.
Judge Dee Gay ruled Friday that searches done by Lindsey Lowe on Google about pregnancy are relevant. The defense objected when District Attorney Ray Whitley brought up the searches during cross examination of forensic psychiatrist William Kenner, M.D.; the searches had earlier not been not allowed as evidence.
The defense argued they were prejudicial and would call for a mistrial if they were allowed, but the judge allowed Whitley to ask Kenner about the searches.
It was revealed during Kenner's testimony that Lowe searched for "pregnancy calendar" on September 3, 2011, and for "free videos of pregnant sex" and "things that make you go into labor" on September 6, 2011. She later searched for "how to make yourself go into labor" on September 9, 2011.
The doctor suggested Lowe was under a lot of stress, and a separate identity took over when she made those Google searches on her iPhone.
The prosecution believed the searches were relevant because Kenner testified Friday that Lowe did not know she was pregnant and suffered from shock from blood loss when she gave birth on a toilet.
Kenner told jurors that Lindsey Lowe felt sick and thought she was going to die, but didn't realize she had given birth until she reached down and felt an ear.
Kenner said Lowe, who is now 26, fell to the floor afterward, hit her head on the floor and lapsed in and out of consciousness.
Under cross-examination, Kenner acknowledged that Lowe had told her mother she was OK, when the mother knocked on the bathroom door before she gave birth. Kenner also said that he had no idea how much blood Lowe lost.
Lowe told police that she gave birth to the twins in the toilet of the bathroom she shared with her sister at their parents' Hendersonville home on September 12, 2011.
During an interview with police two days after the birth that was earlier shown to jurors, she said she suffocated the babies after their birth and put them in a laundry basket next to her bed. Her mother found one of the babies two days later, and her father called police.
Before court got underway again Friday, the judge ruled that Dr. Kenner would not be allowed to testify on Lowe's police interview, saying "his testimony appears to be personal, not professional. His bias is clear." Dr. Kenner wrote a report on the interview, which the jury will not be allowed to see.
Kenner also suggested during his testimony Friday that Lowe's pregnancy denial kept her from carrying the twins normally. He said the twins sat vertically inside her uterus, allowing her to carry them to full term without her noticing.
He added Lowe has battled disassociative disorder since she was three years old.
Dr. Kenner was first hired by Lowe's family to treat her after her arrest, and her attorney John Pellegrin hired him to testify at the trial about her mental state.
Another psychiatrist was called to the stand on Friday afternoon to gifve a second opinion of Lowe's mental state. Dr. Pamela Auble, a clinical neuropsychologist, testified that Lowe changed after her mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2005. She went on to say that Lowe's fiance's mother passed away in the spring of 2011 around the same time her mother's tumor came back, and that Lowe reacted by ignoring her problems.
Dr. Auble added that Lowe put the entire experience out of her head, thought it was stress and couldn't deal with it. She corroborated Lowe's mental status, saying that blood loss from the births made her delirious and unable to form intent to commit murder.
On cross examination, the state pointed out that Lowe cleaned up the bathroom while she was suffering from so many issues. The DA also reminded jurors that Lowe called in sick the day after the births, and slept on her parents' sofa to get away from the bodies.
Judge Dee Gay also told the courtroom that testimony would conclude early on Friday afternoon due to a death in Lowe's attorney John Pellegrin's family, and court would resume Monday.
Attorneys for Lowe called their first witnesses Thursday, after the prosecution rested. It appeared their defense was trying to paint Lowe as a victim, having Dr. Kenner testify that she suffered from multiple disorders, and could not have known what she was doing after she gave birth to the twins.
"Which impaired her level of consciousness impaired her ability to think, to remember. So that she would have been incapable of premeditated murder," said William Kenner, M.D.
Kenner also asserted Lowe was the victim of a "date rape," which continued their so-called attack on the twins' father, Jeremy Smith, who took the stand earlier in the day.
In testimony on Thursday, Smith told jurors in Gallatin that he had no contact with Lindsey Lowe after they had sex in January 2011 and didn't know she was pregnant.
Jeremy Smith told the court he would have taken care of the twins.
The defense pressed him on that, stating that Smith has been held in contempt for failing to pay child support on another child.
Judge Gay also scolded Lowe on Thursday because of Lowe's emotional outburst late Wednesday while jurors were shown text messages between her and the babies' father, Jeremy Smith.
The judge said Lowe was showing too much emotion in front of the jury especially when the father of her twins was on the stand.
"I will not have you sitting there, acting like a child or displaying emotion uncontrolled. The next time this happens, you will be excluded from this courtroom," said Judge Dee David Gay.
Lowe has kept quiet and emotionless since then.
On Monday, a jury of seven men and five women was seated. Three male alternates are also listened to arguments.
Jurors are not sequestered, meaning they are able to go home every night, as long as they abide by the rules. The trial will not continue on the weekend.

I can't thank you enough for such a great product. I shall return again for other products that you offer. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!"— Mike P., WI, USA
"After several days of terrible pain, I ordered SciatiGon…and, after the second dose, I felt much better. Today, I placed another order. I cannot thank you enough for such a great product. Thanks with all my heart."— Silvia I., FL, USA
"I was experiencing continuous…pain…. I began taking SciatiGon, and I started noticing…my…pain was diminishing… You won't hear me complain, and I feel great."— Elizabeth D., Canada
"Hello everyone. I'm Larand a Chippendales dancer in Las Vegas. I hope this testimonial gives you reassurance to try this wonderful product. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I haven't found anything to help me with the unbearable pain I was experiencing with a [nerve issue]. I was going to the chiropractor, but it only provided temporary relieve, and the visits were painful. I reluctantly tried over the counter & [prescriptions] a few times… but didn't last long. It was really a painful experience. I couldn't sleep at all. When I did sleep it was in spurts… I had this …for well over a month, then I discovered this site while looking for alternative treatments. I decided to give it a try after reading the testimonials & the 1–yr guarantee. To my surprise it was very effective… I followed the instructions taking 15 drops 3x a day. I'm getting low, so I will be reordering! I think I'll try ordering the [Triple Complex] Nerve [Tonic] & SciatiGon and combine the use. I'm grateful for a natural alternative …I will be trying their other products! I wish you all well on your path to healing!"— Larand, NV, USA
"I can't thank you enough for this fantastic product…. I was very skeptical at first and couldn't believe a natural product would work as well as this has. It's a miracle."- Alana J., Australia
"…I started looking on the internet …and found your SciatiGon remedy. I ordered it immediately and started taking it the minute it arrived. Within 3 days I was feeling better …Thank you for a life-saving remedy… I have no idea what I would have done if I hadn't found SciatiGon!"- Bronwyn
"…I've used Native Remedies products before with good results and was pleased to find (your remedy)… My husband took SciatiGon regularly …Once again, Native Remedies has been the answer... thank you! "- Marina
"I have suffered ...without results. I purchased SciatiGon and received relief the first day. Within 3 days the symptoms completely subsided with consistent use of the product. Thank you for giving me my life back! "- Myra, AL
" Hi, I hope that you are well. As for me, I am doing much better. Firstly, I would like to thank you for your prompt service and delivery; I am amazed that quality and service still exists… The way you performed your duties was of excellent experience and I am a very satisfied customer who will in the future recommend people to conduct business with you and your company-- well done for your efforts and support. Secondly, a short note to say how impressed and grateful I am to have used SciatiGon. I have been suffering for a very long time with excruciating pains; I have tried a lot of different medication and visited a lot of doctors wasting a lot of time and money and in the end nothing helped …I could not wait to open this parcel as I was desperate to end this pain and suffering… During the course of the day the pain was subsiding slowly and by 8:00pm that same evening I was 70% feeling much better and relieved. This was like a miracle I thanked my HEAVENLY FATHER in sending me in your direction, I feel like a new person again; this has made me positive and I can now resume to perform my duties as before. I will continue to take SciatiGon… I have trust and faith in you so you can expect more orders from me in the future. Many thanks and best regards. "- Mark K.
"When I ordered SciatiGon, I had many reservations because nothing I've taken has helped so far. I've tried herbal formulas [and] other homeopathic remedies… I've seen many chiropractors, an osteopath and an herbalist… I've had massages and tried [different exercises] but every protocol was irritating… I always look to find the most simple of protocols before I ever consider the most invasive. I know homeopathy works, but it requires the right formula to match the issue. I never found anything that worked before. I've tried meditation, colon cleanses [and] a change in diet… Yesterday I received my SciatiGon order. I ordered 3 bottles because I honestly thought it would take me weeks if not months to see any kind of results. I guess I was so sure this wouldn't work, I just expected to be very patient. This is how I've experienced everything else... waiting and waiting and still getting poor results. This is the absolute truth... but after one dose of SciatiGon, just 5 drops in water I felt a difference... I also took the Nerve Tonic along with it... I could sense the formulas were getting right to the source of my problem. This morning, I took both formulas again... I am much improved. A slight sense of irritation, but nothing like what I was experiencing yesterday before my order arrived. I honestly think I've found my solution and I'm sincerely grateful to Native Remedies for making outstanding products that truly work! THESE ARE AMAZING RESULTS!"- Chloe, NY, USA
"I do want to say thank you! I have been taking SciatiGon. It works great, [even though] I haven't been taking it regularly like I should, I take it once a day now being busy with work. I can't thank you enough for such a great product. I shall return again for other products that you offer. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!"- Mike Parrish, WI, USA
"…I turned to Native Remedies and found SciatiGon. I took the first loading doses on a Thursday, and the next morning, the left leg [was completely soothed]. Over the weekend …and by Monday I was able to walk around without [the suffering I'd been having] for three months. I actually dared to hope I could return to work. It was nothing short of a miracle, and I highly recommend SciatiGon to anyone suffering from … irritation of the sciatic nerve. Thank you Native Remedies for making it possible for me to function again."- Sue C., ME, USA
"I suffered a back injury in February, and was diagnosed… After visiting the Dr., I received a prescription, but after reading the side effects, decided not to take it. I was in extreme pain when I sat down or lied down. My husband found SciatiGon on the internet, and I ordered it. After taking SciatiGon for 2 days, the pain sometimes disappeared completely, and at other times was mild compared to what I had been experiencing. After a few weeks, I decided that my back was getting better and the SciatiGon probably had nothing to do with it. I stopped taking it, and the horrible pain returned in 2 days. I immediately started taking it again, and that very day, the pain was bearable and completely gone at times the next day. I just ordered my second bottle. I will not stop taking it anymore. I was skeptical, but not anymore."- Peggy, OH USA

Food waste recycling services can be tailored to any organisation from small offices to commercial kitchens. Once collected, bins are emptied at our yard and washed in our dedicated bin wash area. Food is then taken to Biogen where they use anaerobic digestion to convert the food waste into biogas and liquid fertiliser. Biogas supplies renewable electricity whilst biofertiliser is spread onto farmland to grow more food. Our range of containers means we are able to supply you with a hygienic food waste recycling service.
For customers with little or no storage space we can provide plastic sacks for recycling your food waste. These are supplied on a roll, and purchased upfront. Collections then take place from the pavement outside your workplace.
Small caddies can be kept on the worktop in your kitchen or tea station area to ensure your food recycling scheme is easy to use and that your workplace looks its best. The caddies are lined with bio-sacks and once these are full they can be emptied into a larger caddy, kerbside sack or wheeled bin for collection by Paper Round.
We have a range of caddies available for storing food waste hygienically at your workplace. These 40 litre caddies can be used to store full bio-sacks from smaller worktop caddies, or can be lined themselves and filled directly with food waste. These caddies are emptied on collection.
For the hospitality sector and offices with larger kitchens or canteens, 30 litre pedal bins provide a convenient means to collect food waste hygenically. These can be lined with kerbside food sacks which are collected from the pavement, or with bio-sacks which once full, can be emptied into a wheeled bin for collection.
For larger producers of food waste, we provide specially designed wheeled bins. Full bins are exchanged for empty, clean bins at each collection.

Winchester 70 - 416Rigby
how are you all!
Its been time since I do not hung around the frum, I have been busy ar work.
I got I question for you all.
Have you ever seen a winchester 70 or pre 64 transformed into a 416Rigby? it is posible to open this action to fit this 416Rigby cartige?
The thing is I love 416Rigby and one of my favourite action is the Winchester 70.
I guess it would not be a bad idea to have a 416Rigby with a winchester action!
Looking forwad to get your comments-

I am fairly certain that in 1994 Winchester made the mod 70 in 416 Rem Mag in their Clasic Super Express. I therefore assume that as long the action on your Winchester is magnum length the gunsmith should be able to rebarrel for 416 Rigby. As far as I know Winchester never actually chambered the big Rigby as factory standard. I am also sure that many such conversions have been done in the past and will continue to be done in the future.

416 rigby
the short of a long answer is Yes. The M70 can be made into a Rigby, you have to cut quite a bit of metal out
of it but it can be done, hell a M98 can be made into a Rigby--about the same! I have seen a number of M70's
that were made into 416 rigbys. Good luck on your project

I would not recommend such a project as way too much metal needs to be removed. If you want a .416 Rigby, simply get a CZ, Dakota or Ruger in .416 Rigby. It will cost less and likely work better. It will certainly be stronger without all that metal cut away.

I willbe ranking the upcoming free agents and putting down a grade on how their value will be and how good they will do next year. Some of the free agents I put down may be signed by their teams this off-season, I'm no psychic, but I am just estimating. I will have a blog for each position, starting with starting pitchers. Top 3 only.
1. C.C. Sabathia
Grade: A+
Team pitcher is currently on: Milwaukee Brewers
The Price Range: Anywhere from $15-$22 million per year
C.C. Sabathia has been one of the best pitchers in the league this year and he has certainly been the best since the beginning of July, the time he got traded to Milwaukee from the Tribe. Since then, he has a record of 9-0 along with a sparkling ERA that is at 1.42. He has average almost a strikeout per inning and six complete games. He is one of the front-runners for both Cy Young and MVP and that is saying something since he has only been in the National League for two months. Can he keep up the success in the American League though? He'll be good - but not as good.
Top 3 Signing Candidates
3. Colorado Rockies - The Colorado Rockies certainly have some money to spend and maybe if they clear some more space in their payroll by trading a big money guy (possibly Matt Holliday), they will have the money to sign CC and some extra. Colorado is 27th in the league in ERA this year and any fan would tell you that pitching is the reason why the Rockies are 10 games under .500. Also, after his 2008 performance, it seems that CC might want to stay in the National League.
2. Detroit Tigers - Owner Mike Illitch showed that he was willing to spend money last year and the Tigers are already planning to get rid of some high-paid guy for trade bait. ROY candidate Armando Galarraga looks like the real deal but there is no way of knowing. They have Justin Verlander but he isn't a true ace, he has been inconsistent, even in his first two years where his ERA was in the 3.60's. After Verlander, they have absoutely nothing. CC would be a good fit.
1. New York Yankees - The Yankees claim that they are going to make Sabathia an offer that he can't refuse. If so, that will probably mean around $20 million, more than any other team is willing to pay. Still, Sabathia may be able to refuse that offer. The Yankees are in third place and a 15-year fantastic, great franchise may be coming to an end as vets are getting older and stepping out of their primes.
2. Ryan Dempster
Grade: B+
Team Pitcher is currently on: Chicago Cubs
The Price Range: Between $8-$13 million
Ryan Dempster is having an amazing year this year, he is 15-6 with a 2.99 ERA. He has 167 strikeouts in 183.2 innings pitched. Those are great numbers so why did I only give him a B+? How will this former closer's arm hold up when he pitches 200+ innings again next year (if he can get that many)? Remember, before this year, Dempster was only pitching one inning a game, probably close to 45-50 times a year. He could be good again, don't get me wrong, but his arm might not hold up the whole next season.
Top 3 Signing Candidates
3. New York Mets - Everybody thought that the Mets addressed their pitching needs last off-season when they signed Johan Santana. That helped a little bit but there are still some holes. The Mets surely have the money and Dempster can come in right away since Mike Pelfrey remains very unproven (plus, he can't pitch at the MLB level) and Pedro Martinez may not be back next year.
2. Seattle Mariners - The Carlos Silva signing ended up to be a major bust, his ERA is in the 6's and he has 10 more wins than he does losses. Other than that, they still have some holes besides their aces in Erik Bedard and Felix Hernandez (even Bedard isn't doing great). Dempster is better than 4 out of the 5 pitchers currently in their rotation and with his boost, the Mariners could have a major turn-around and be in playoff contention.
1. Texas Rangers - The Texas Rangers have the best offense in the league but the worst pitching staff in the league. Not a great combo and it has been like that for years. Kevin Millwood's 2006 season where he went 16-12 with a 4.52 ERA has probably been the best performance by any Rangers pitcher in the past three years. Something needs to be done. The Rangers may be able to move some players around in the off-season and get the money they need.
3. Ben Sheets
Grade: B+
Team Pitcher is currently on: Milwaukee Brewers
The Price Range: $16 million, give or take
Ben Sheets has been a great pitcher this year too, after all he was the starting pitcher for the National League in the All-Star Game. His year has just been overshadowed by his fellow teamate, Carsten Charles Sabathia. Sheets is 12-7 this year with a 2.97 ERA. He has only walked 41 batters this year, second best among upcoming free agent pitchers who have pitched the full season (Btw, Mike Mussina was first with 24). Sheets is only 30-years old and a prime for a pitcher usually lasts unntil about 35 so he still has some good years left in the tank.
Top 3 Signing Candidates
3. Milwaukee Brewers - Milwaukee wouldn't want to give up two of the better pitchers in the league just like that so Milwaukee should surely go after Sheets since he is cheaper than Sabathia. Still, other teams are going to offer more money than the Brewers can offer so the Brewers don't look like they are going to be able to cough up 17-18 million dollars for one player.
2. Kansas City Royals - Many people thought that Kansas City could be in playoff contention earlier this season. All hope is lost this season but there is a chance for 2009. KC has to hold on to their good young players during the off-season and if they pull of a signing like Sheets, they could win up to 85 games. KC may have a solid offense next year but something needs to be done about their pitching.
1. Boston Red Sox - I don't think you can ever count out Boston in any free agency signing. Boston has a good pitching staff with Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jon Lester being their Top 3 pitchers but behind them is not so good. Tim Wakefield is only an average pitcher and Paul Byrd has done terrible with Boston this year. They could hope that Clay Buccholz does better next year or just be sure and safe and go after Sheets.
The Others . . .
A.J. Burnett, 16-10, 4.47 ERA - Grade: C+
Jon Garland, 12-8, 4.64 ERA - Grade: C+
Randy Wolf, 9-11, 4.47 ERA - Grade: C+
Carl Pavano, 2-0, 4.20 ERA - Grade: D
Mike Mussina, 17-7, 3.39 ERA - Grade: B
Derek Lowe, 12-11, 3.53 ERA - Grade: B-
