Davis &?Elkins' Alicia Lentz puts up a jumper in front of Glenville State's Kenyona Simmons in a West Virginia Conference matchup Thursday night at the McDonnell Center. The 17th-ranked Lady Pioneers used a second-half run to get past the Lady Senators, 67-53.
Another 3-pointer by Turner cut the deficit to 44-40 but D&E?came no closer the rest of the game.
A three from Ginny Mills allowed the Lady Pioneers to open up their largest lead of the game at 51-40 with 10:58 left, and the visitors finished the game on a 14-7 run after Alicia Lentz's layup cut the margin to 53-46.
"We made some adjustments at halftime," Glenville State coach Bunky Harkleroad said. "We dribbled way too much in the first half and didn't pass the ball at all.
"I thought we did a lot better in the second half."
Kenyell Goodson finished with 15 points, while Latoya Hambrick added 10 points and five rebounds for the Lady Pioneers, who entered the game leading the nation in scoring with 92 points per game.
"I thought Davis & Elkins really played well tonight," Harkleroad said. "They're one of the top teams in the conference. They played us tough and had us scouted very well."
Lentz finished with a 12 points and nine rebounds, while Page Turner added 11 points, six assists, four rebounds, four steals and two blocks for the Lady Senators (11-10, 10-7 WVC).
"It was an excellent effort by both teams,"?D&E coach Jason Asbell said. "Hopefully we have the opportunity to play them again before the season ends."
The Lady Senators will visit Wheeling Jesuit at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Greywater, usually defined as "untreated waste water which has not come into contact with toilet waste", is used as a supplementary irrigation supply for watering plants. Because most greywater systems do no include large cisterns or storage tanks the greywater must be used promptly or it is piped off to the sewer.
In areas with a year round irrigation season, greywater can be used continuously. However, much of the country where the growing season ends in the fall cannot make use of greywater for a substantial part of the year. Theoretically greywater could be used to water indoor plants during the winter months, but this could prove problematic if the greywater system does not provide sufficient filtration to remove potential sources of odor and bacteria.
Because of these seasonality issues, greywater systems are more practical and cost effective in warmer climates with longer irrigation seasons.

Samsung on why it went PenTile with the Galaxy S III display: It's the longevity, silly!

Samsung knows whatever it fit, you fandroids will buy. So yeah, it's fine..
Does that sound familiar somewhere with a fruit?
2. mrochester (unregistered)
I know your comment is tongue in cheek, but it is broadly correct. Any device you buy requires you to compromise in one way or another. The pentile screen is a compromise that you have to decide whether you can live with just the same as the 3.5" screen on the iPhone is a compromise you have to decide whether you can live with. It's NEVER a case of buying something just because, it's a case of weighing up the pros and cons and buying whatever device has the most pros for you.
3. adi4u4882 (Posts: 137; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
That goes for you. All you sheeps buy a iPhone 4S which only had a improvement over the CPU.
4. baldilocks (Posts: 743; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
...and camera and GPU and antennae......
7. mrochester (unregistered)
Stupid comments don't get you anywhere. You know fine well that there were more improvements to the 4S other than the CPU.
11. chadrick0814 (Posts: 209; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
Improvements like 4g??? I guess that's not important.
24. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Samsung gives you devices of all shapes and sizes to fit your needs. If you dont want pentile, you can still go get an SGS2 and its quite powerful. Apple forces you to take one size and like it.
Longevity is a great buzzword, but the truth is that the RGB version isnt ready for production yet. So you either get pentile, which every review says is still one of the best looking screens ever... or you wait another 3-6 months for RGB. For what is such a minor difference between the 2, ill take the pentile. I have one now and I have noooo problem with it.
56. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
wow remix you just repeated what the article says.. cheers?.. keep drinking that juice
62. mrochester (unregistered)
To all intents and purposes, Samsung are giving you no choice either. If you want their latest, high end phone, it's pentile or nothing; You're "forced" by Samsung to buy last years technology if you want an RGB screen. That's not really a very good choice, is it?
I think you're also forgetting that consumers are able to freely choose between any number of smartphones that are on the market, from £30 PAYG Android devices to £700 iPhone 4S's. No one is forced to buy anything.

I don't get it. The article clearly points out that it costs more for Samsung to produce pen tile than RGB. Wouldn't it be easier to sell the cheaper RGB to the "sheep?"
13. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
But they won't. Because Samsung wants quality and wants to do what is best... The screen will still be S-AMOLED and 720p with an even sharper-looking pentile screen. It'll still look beautiful.
26. SleepingOz (unregistered)
They haven't even read the article. They are just haters trolling on Samsung articles.
28. martinlosha (unregistered)
Dude get the hell out of here.
If you want to give your money to samsung and get a garbage phone like this in return then go ahead and buy it.
I won't buy it though because is not worth it.
i will not find any reasons to support this device because im am not a Samsung fanboy either.

No, it basically means that Samsung, like any other manufacturer, has had to weigh up the pros and cons of using certain tech in their products and make a decision and go with it. I really REALLY *REALLY* hope some people finally take note and realise this and hopefully we can put an end to the constant, petty, irritating "bashing" that goes on. Sadly, I'm not holding out much hope of such a mature response...

18months is too less. A fully unlocked $600 smartphone should atleast sustain for 5yrs.

15. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Alrighty, this explained it.
Kudos, Samsung, seems that you've put your best in that screen after all.
Keeping the same relative sharpness as the GNex, (as hinted in the article), but boosting the brightness(300+nits vs those bad 200+ on GNex), and size significantly.
Can't wait to check it out - now i believe it'll be just good enough for me.

If we are sheeps to samsung its better than to be a sheep to a fashion phone like iphone. I still have my bluetooth,file manager,2500ma batt,5.3"hd amoled screen which looks better than the 3.5 on the iphone for me,clear call speakers,plastic but very durable,usb connectivity and sd card functions. I will be a sheep to samsung than to apple,why myst i own a phone which cant send a simple picture to a friend through bluetooth? I pity you guys,wake up from your slumbers.

45. martinlosha (unregistered)
Bitch please.....grow up.
Stick with your Old phones and don't upgrade to the S3 because this phone is not much better than your current device.
Stop being Sheep....
49. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
I haven't said one word regarding upgrading to the SGS3. My question to you is what is your definition of spending money wisely, yet you avoided they question and used profanity. Seems like you're the one who need some manners and to grow up.
Another person who has some reading problems on PA. Seems like taco and you will be good friends.
Once again, I'm going to ask, what is your definition of spending money wisely.
50. martinlosha (unregistered)
Spending your money wisely means not spending them for Bulls**t like this phone.
What phone you have?
Tell me what phone you have and i will tell you how t spend your money wisely.
51. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Okay, so what do you consider as trash, and what not?
My phone is pretty out of date in my opinion and I am actively looking for a replacement, but unfortunately SGS3 isn't on the list right now. However, I'm still curious, what do you consider as trash, and what not. So far you've told me that the SGS3 is trash, but you haven't told me what you would consider as spending money wisely.
55. martinlosha (unregistered)
Let me explain to you what i mean Spending your money wisely....
You said you have a dated phone and you want to upgrade,let me tell you what i would do if i was you.
I would first root my old phone and overclock it,make it a little faster and see if i am satisfied with my device and keep my money.
If i still need something faster then i wouldn't jump to a quad core immediately but i would see if i can get a dual core in a good price example Galaxy S2,Some HTC phones or even a Lumnia 800 would be a good deal.Look what you need and don't be a fanboy, nobody needs these quad core Bulls**t phones because these phones are not much faster than the previous dual core processors.
Phone brands want to make money but they are not making anything dramatically new.....
Yes the S3 is garbage for the money you pay,some of the specs this phone has are kind of dated example the screen and camera plus the build quality is not premium but i bet Samsung will charge the device 500$+ that's what i call steeling peoples money.
57. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Seems like you know what you're talking about. The only thing is, you're just really unhappy that the SGS3 didn't reach your expectation. Even if you're unhappy, it's because of your own point of views that you're unhappy. I have a 1.0 phone that's i've OC'ed to 1.8, any dual core phone and above would be an upgrade for me. I'd still get a quad core because I know eventually I'll be able to OC a 1.5 quad core phone to a higher clock.
To tell you the truth, I would find people who are planning to buy SGS3 much better than those who just follow Apple's iPhone release blindly, just because "it's an iPhone, it's Apple and almost everyone around me has it". No need to use iPhone 5 as an argument because it's not even officially announced yet. The specs for SGS3 is definitely impressive, specs wise it's definitely top of the line right now who knows for how long. If I was to buy a SGS3, it would be for the hardware specs and features, not for the screen or design cause yes, I think the design is ugly. To you it may not be worth it. To others, they may have found their perfect phone.
To tell you the truth, if Remix was to reply to your rants. I'd bet he'd called you a crying whiner.

Nobody want to beat a small 3.5" screen. It only for little girls used.
25. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the retina only looks sharp because its so small. its a lower resolution and would not still be "retina" at 4.8 inches.. in fact, it would be subpar.
33. martinlosha (unregistered)
What about the New Ipad?
The screen of the New Ipad is big but still Retina.
36. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its not retina.
retina denotes anything above 300ppi. its a marketing term that just basically means you cant see pixels.
LCD2, Super Amoled 720 pentile, and a bunch of other screens all qualify as retina
the new ipad screen is higher resolution, but it falls well short of 300ppi.
46. martinlosha (unregistered)
Are you serious?
54. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
yes. dont believe me? Phone Arena has this tab on the side for phones and tablets. look up the ipad3. Its well below the 300ppi threshold. People are just excited because the old iPad had a very low res screen on it.
Retina is a marketing gimmick that Apple is misusing.
64. mrochester (unregistered)
The term 'Retina Display' is based on more than just the basic PPI of the screen. The whole point of the term is to describe a screen where, at the average viewing distance, you cannot discern the individual pixels. As such, a screen that you hold, on average, further away from you doesn't require as high a PPI as a screen that you hold, on average, closer to you.
This is how the new iPad screen is also a Retina Display.
29. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
When I saw the title stating that Samsung was using PenTile technology on thus GS3, I thought to myself that I'm not going to be getting one. Now that I've read the article, ill just have to wait and see what the screen/device is like. I've still got a while to ask though before I can renew my contract.

I can think of at least two things wrong with that name. Now, on to the food! I know this is going to sound insane coming from the guy who makes his own phyllo dough and puff pastry, but I don't think I have the patience for ravioli. It was so time consuming and finicky that it drove me to the brink of insanity. In fact, I kept making bigger and bigger ravioli just so I could use up the filling faster. That being said, the filling itself was really, really, good, and I plan to use it for homemade cannelloni in the very near future.

Updike to Williams to This?!
John Updike was as fine a writer as Ted Williams was a hitter. Updike won two Pulitzers, Williams a pair of MVP's.
When the former died in January of this year I marked his passing by listening to a recording of Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu. It's a classic essay he wrote for The New Yorker in the aftermath of Williams' last game at Boston's Fenway Park in 1960; a day when The Kid famously and fittingly homered in the final at-bat of a career that was both tempestuous and illustrious.
It's beautiful; something that could turn non-believers into baseball fans the way Handel's Messiah might call pagans to church.
It could not have been an accident that Updike was there to observe the event and later share his thoughts with whomever they concerned, although a preface to the recorded essay makes it sound as though it was just that. His first purpose for being in Boston that day was adulterous but, finding his paramour not at home, he went to the ballpark instead.
When Williams died in 2002 the poignancy of his death was overridden by the announcement that his head was to be frozen for future reference. His son, John Henry, who I recall accompanied his father on an autographing expedition to Des Moines in the mid-90's to raise funds for the Bob Feller museum not far from here, was having Ted posthumously decapitated and iced on the basis of a signed cocktail napkin that came with no certificate of authenticity. How at once cryonic and ironic.
It all seemed sad and grisly; certainly not befitting of the great slugger who was the last major leaguer to top .400 when he batted .406 in 1941 [inasmuch as that was the year of Joe DiMaggio's legendary 56 game hitting streak, Williams didn't even win the MVP award, nor did he in either of his two, count 'em two, triple crown years!].
A plaque in Cooperstown, absolutely; a popsicle in a cryogenic warehouse in the Arizona desert - say it ain't so!
But it was. And now breaks news that the stock boys at the freezer used Williams' head for sport – even teeing it up on a can of tuna fish! If this too is so, Williams would have been better preserved had he been stuffed and mounted on the wall in a Beantown "man-cave". Baseball cards are handled with more care than that accorded the remains of Teddy Ballgame. What, were the bored lab techs Yankee fans? Was the place so cold that decency went numb?
Aside from the indignity visited upon the man who aspired to be, "the greatest hitter who ever lived" [twice?], consider the macabre workplace shenanigans in their broader context. Baseball didn't need another black eye, let alone the severed, frozen head of one of the game's all-timers being the object of a game of pepper in a [meat] locker room somewhere. Probably just as well that the Bostons were excused early from this year's playoffs. Had they advanced to the World Series around Halloween there would either have been too much talk or an awkward silence about The Headless Hitman.
Picture, if you can, the boss at the lab issuing a work order as follows: "Bring me the head of Ted Williams!" Then what - "PLAY BALL!"?
If it took none other than John Updike to do justice to Williams' exploits on the diamond, then Stephen King writes the post-mortem. The whole thing smacks of Rod Serling.
For all his prowess at the plate, Williams earned his reputation for being surly and stubborn with the media and fans. He was repaid in the form of withheld MVP votes and occasional boos. Still, if he didn't merit a pedestal, he surely deserved better than the alleged tuna can. It's customary to commend the departed with hopes and prayers for resting in peace, not pieces.
Reports of the mishandling by the staff at the extended stay morgue have lent new meaning to baseball lexicon like bobblehead, sawed-off and disabled list.
Alas, the only head to roll in the matter is Williams'. The man in charge at the facility who should have been made to account for his slipshod oversight instead documented the goings on that he might profit from them in the form of a book.
What would John Updike have to say about all this? I just hope he has a grave to spin in.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Not sure if you have the right side of the cause and effect relationship between withheld MVP votes and Williams' surely manner with the reporters. They were pretty much screwing him out of MVP's from the get-go.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Really nice article about Koyie and the Make A Wish foundation. Nice to see someone make a real effort who's not making $12 million a year.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!

Re: Updike to Williams to This?!

Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
I assume that most places that house the frozen heads of the dead is manned by people that are, to put it mildly, not among the most intelligent of God's creatures. Nothing the average American idiot does surprises me. Someone having had sex with the Splendid Splinter's head wouldn't seem out of the realm of believability so anything short of that is just another day at the office.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Well penned, Mike.
Neal: I read Montville's book, and it said the whole of Boston - press, team, fans - was immediately taken aback by the cockiness of the rookie when he came up. They were even more appalled when they discovered he had about zero interest in the art of defense.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
It doesn't sound like the press was living by the golden rule, then does it? Ted Williams had a right to be cocky, didn't he? He was 20 year old rookie when he lead the league in total bases and RBI's.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Sportswriters acting like assholes? Well, oh my gosh, however did poor Ted not see that coming!
Of course, Williams also had the right to retaliate by treating the city of Boston like shit for 50 years, even though the fans there worshiped him like a God.
How 'Golden Rule' is that?
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
I think the whole point of the 'Golden Rule' is that your behavior is not based on what someone else has done to you -- the "right to retaliate" is not a consideration.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Williams didn't acknowledge the fans because he didn't like how they treated the players. Not quite sure if that falls under 'treated the town like shit'. It's what's called integrity.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Updike's piece was superb.
"Fisher, after his unsettling wait, was wide with the first pitch. He put the second one over, and Williams swung mightily and missed. The crowd grunted, seeing that classic swing, so long and smooth and quick, exposed, naked in its failure. Fisher threw the third time, Williams swung again, and there it was. The ball climbed on a diagonal line into the vast volume of air over center field. From my angle, behind third base, the ball seemed less an object in flight than the tip of a towering, motionless construct, like the Eiffel Tower or the Tappan Zee Bridge. It was in the books while it was still in the sky. Brandt ran back to the deepest corner of the outfield grass; the ball descended beyond his reach and struck in the crotch where the bullpen met the wall, bounced chunkily, and, as far as I could see, vanished.
"Like a feather caught in a vortex, Williams ran around the square of bases at the center of our beseeching screaming. He ran as he always ran out home runs—hurriedly, unsmiling, head down, as if our praise were a storm of rain to get out of. He didn't tip his cap. Though we thumped, wept, and chanted 'We want Ted' for minutes after he hid in the dugout, he did not come back. Our noise for some seconds passed beyond excitement into a kind of immense open anguish, a wailing, a cry to be saved. But immortality is nontransferable. The papers said that the other players, and even the umpires on the field, begged him to come out and acknowledge us in some way, but he never had and did not now. Gods do not answer letters."
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Updike captures nicely the way in which we can love even an insufferable prick for the fact that he does something beautifully--or rather, that we can love beautiful things even when their doers are insufferable pricks.
Always makes me wonder why I can't feel that way about Bonds. Racism? Maybe it's just easier to ignore Williams' personality because I wasn't alive when he was playing anyway.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
In Updike's case, it seems to be a matter of admiring the single-mindedness and dedication of Williams even while acknowledging the difficult aspects of his nature. In some ways, while both Bonds and Williams were unlikeable, in Williams' case there were no steroids and you sense this sort of supreme ambition to be the best and desire to work at it that is, in a way, admirable.
"My personal memories of Williams begin when I was a boy in Pennsylvania, with two last-place teams in Philadelphia to keep me company. For me, 'W'ms, lf' was a figment of the box scores who always seemed to be going 3-for-5. He radiated, from afar, the hard blue glow of high purpose. . . For me, Williams is the classic ballplayer of the game on a hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Baseball is a game of the long season, of relentless and gradual averaging-out. Irrelevance—since the reference point of most individual games is remote and statistical—always threatens its interest, which can be maintained not by the occasional heroics that sportswriters feed upon but by players who always care; who care, that is to say, about themselves and their art. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, he is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money. It may be that, compared to managers' dreams such as Joe DiMaggio and the always helpful Stan Musial, Williams is an icy star. But of all team sports, baseball, with its graceful intermittences of action, its immense and tranquil field sparsely settled with poised men in white, its dispassionate mathematics, seems to me best suited to accommodate, and be ornamented by, a loner. It is an essentially lonely game. No other player visible to my generation has concentrated within himself so much of the sport's poignance, has so assiduously refined his natural skills, has so constantly brought to the plate that intensity of competence that crowds the throat with joy.
"By the time I went to college, near Boston, the lesser stars Yawkey had assembled around Williams had faded, and his craftsmanship, his rigorous pride, had become itself a kind of heroism. This brittle and temperamental player developed an unexpected quality of persistence. He was always coming back—back from Korea, back from a broken collarbone, a shattered elbow, a bruised heel, back from drastic bouts of flu and ptomaine poisoning. Hardly a season went by without some enfeebling mishap, yet he always came back, and always looked like himself. The delicate mechanism of timing and power seemed locked, shockproof, in some case outside his body. In addition to injuries, there were a heavily publicized divorce, and the usual storms with the press, and the Williams Shift—the maneuver, custom-built by Lou Boudreau, of the Cleveland Indians, whereby three infielders were concentrated on the right side of the infield, where a left-handed pull hitter like Williams generally hits the ball. Williams could easily have learned to punch singles through the vacancy on his left and fattened his average hugely. This was what Ty Cobb, the Einstein of average, told him to do. But the game had changed since Cobb; Williams believed that his value to the club and to the game was as a slugger, so he went on pulling the ball, trying to blast it through three men, and paid the price of perhaps fifteen points of lifetime average. Like Ruth before him, he bought the occasional home run at the cost of many directed singles—a calculated sacrifice certainly not, in the case of a hitter as average-minded as Williams, entirely selfish."
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
Williams doesn't have the stigma of cheating, adultery, perjury and tax evasion. He was also, by all reports, a war hero.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
For me, I don't think it is racism. The steroids/HGH thing turned me off so much and put him in a different category than someone who was just an insufferable prick like Albert Belle or Jeff Kent. I wanted to like Bonds for a lot of years, going back to his years with the Pirates. When the PEDs thing became obvious, the admiration died. I lost it for Sammy & McGuire, too.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
I never lost my affection for Sammy, but that might just be me overlooking negative aspects to the stories of Cubs' players that I wouldn't overlook for players on other teams. It's possible my dislike for Bonds stems from the way even home announcers would gush over his abilities when he played against the Cubs--reporters may not have liked him, but they made him out to be a much better baseball player than I ever thought he was. I don't like hype.
Re: Updike to Williams to This?!
I liked Bonds, and wanted the Cubs to sign him when he was a free agent, not sure at what point I began to dislike him, probably when he got what I thought was Sosa's MVP in 2001.

J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.

Quethlie Alexie became the latest witness against three defendants, including Smith's lawyer/confidante Howard K. Stern and psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich, accused of plying the Playboy model with dangerous and addictive drugs.
Dannielynn was an infant when Alexie allegedly saw her mother brought into a bathroom by Stern and Eroshevich, who'd leave bloody syringes and cotton balls as Smith stumbled out, acting drunk.
Alexie testified that before the three went into the bathroom, Stern "would say, 'Baby, come and we'll take our medicine.'"
Smith emerged from the bathroom "like, drunk," Alexie testified through a Creole interpreter. "She was unable to walk, falling, and was unable to handle her talking. She would laugh."
Alexie said Smith was weak and suffering from bouts of diarrhea and vomiting and was consumed by grief over the September 2006 death of her son, Daniel, the same weekend she gave birth to Dannielynn.
Smith was also sleep deprived, Alexie recalled, until Eroshevich arrived – then "she would sleep all day. In the middle of her speaking she would sleep."
Stern, Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor are on trial for giving Smith many of prescription drugs found in her body after she died in Febuary 2007 at age 39.
They have pleaded not guilty to several felony charges and the two doctors are still licensed to practice.

Hypermedia Learning Environment for Mathematics
Multisilta, Jari
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 1996-06-14
Language: en
Belongs to: Tampereen teknillinen yliopisto. Julkaisu - Tampere University of Technology. Publication; 183
University: Tampere University of Technology
Faculty: Department of Information Technology
Department: Institute of Mathematics
This thesis describes the design, implementation and use of a software package for hypermedia based learning on mathematical sciences. The software package integrates hypertext, computer-aided exercises, graphics, videos and sound into a hypermedia based learning environment (HMLE). The design and implementation problems of hypermedia based learning environments in mathematics are presentation, input, comparison and evaluation of mathematical expressions, document conversion from ordinary text to hypertext, division of linear text to hypertext and automatic link generation. As a solution to these problems, HMLE consists of document conversion tools for Microsoft Word documents, presentation tools for mathematical hypertext documents and authoring tools for automatic link generation. In order to support learning, problem-solving tools and other cognitive tools should be integrated to hypermedia environment. As a solution, HMLE introduces interactive exercises generated by Mathematica, exercises with hints, links to animation and movie applications, links to mathematical applications, and concept maps. Finally, classroom experiences of hypermedia based learning environments are presented.

Hey there. My other post questioned what YOU, the reader, would like to see in a new manga novel. Well, now, from the wonderful feedback from at least three people, I have formed an idea and need someone's opinion. This is the beginning sequence that you would read if you opened up this book. It's 2050 A.D. on a boat on the coast of Japan. Shikodo, a black-haired, blue-eyed 25 year old (about) fisherman finally finds his favorite point to begin his working day. At 5 a.m. he readies his pole with the squid that he uses to catch fish. Shin, his first mate, fixes up the mast of the boat to sail steadily and slowly to devote more time to fishing. Shikodo walks three feet to the end of his 30 foot boat and drops it in the water. After finishing this, he walks back to wheel of the boat, sits down, and begins reading his favorite fishing magazine. A few hours pass by and out of nowhere, his pole is ripeed from the boat and flies right in the water. "What the-". Next thing he knows, the boat begins shaking and rolling back and forth violently. "Shin! Shin!" A small creature crawls on he boat. Calling for his first-mate Shin, he finds that these tiny creatures have infested his body and he is incapacitated. What will Shikodo do? Will he survive? Will he be able to make it to shore? Have these creatures infested the shore as well? What will happen to Shin? You will have to read to find out! This novel is currently under development and will take some time to be completed. I may be able to give small teasers every now and then, nut you will just have to wait. SO, what do you think?!
I was drawn to the bit 'black hair, blue eyed' that's something special to Shikodo (lol girls like pretty boys hehe) ooo infested... is it s a horror story?
Well, haha you mentioned that manga today needs something both Girls and guys like.. The blue-black combination, I thought, was a winner. Haha.. Yea, this is a horror, romantic, and comedic type novel. Nothing else one the market has this. So, I, with the help of yoshimitsu, if he wishes, am goin to develop this novel series and hit up tokyopop and see what they think. (Or some other publisher for that matter, haha) Peace, love, and rock and roll
I'm here to help.I love the story so far.I think it's missing somthing.I'll e-mail you.your friend,yoshimitsu"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
btw what does 'SHITOKU' mean?
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Isn't that a mushroom? oh wait, that's SHITAKE, sorry, never mind... lol
no prob,but when you look at it,it is kinda funny. "people do not need violence to solve there problems."
sorry is 'Shikodo' I'm Chinese so I'm always interested the way how ppl use japanese / kANJI
i think it sounds great keep up the idea!!!
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
sounds interesting "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin

MARTINSBURG - All you need to know is there's something everyone can relate to in the latest Apollo Civic Theatre production.
Based on Robert Fulghum's best-selling books, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten," which premieres Friday, takes a funny, insightful and heartwarming look at what is profound in everyday life. But this is not a show with a straight plot from beginning to end, exactly; nor is it a musical (although there is a musical version). The audience is treated to a combination of storytelling in revue format with monologues, dialogue and multiple voice narration enhanced with live piano scoring.
"The author was born in 1937. He wrote 'All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten' in the 1980s," said Tami McDonald, director. "Through the 1990s, he wrote a series of essays. They were all thoughtful observations on life. He was in his 50s and 60s and contemplating life."

Since they were essays, she said the show turns them into monologues and vignettes. It's episodic, from youth to marriage, parenting, old age, and everything in between.
"They're slices of life anyone can relate to or will experience," McDonald said. "Fulghum fans will recognize it."
The set is minimalist. There are some walls and platforms, but mostly a bare stage with few props. Props that are used will just help set the stage, as in coats and hats for an older couple.

The cast is only five people. McDonald said they are all excellent actors and storytellers.
"I like telling a story this way," she said. "Some actors like it because they memorize monologues for auditions, and this is like singing a solo."
Since they are not bogged down with many actors on stage or in handling musical numbers, she said they can connect with the audience better and act as if they're telling the stories off the top of their heads. They take on different personas as the stories progress.
"I like this aspect," said Raoul Anderson, 61. "With all my life experience, speaking to young people, we have a long story to support the answer to a question, not just a short answer."
He did similar work in the past with a kind of story theater show in Marlboro, Md. He said adults acted out fables. He acted in the Washington area in his younger days at such venues as the Folger Theatre and The Studio Theatre. He's worked on musical comedies and performed Shakespeare. But, he's been off the boards for about 25 years.
"I got interested in working at the Apollo when I auditioned for 'The Bad Seed' and was cast," he said.
After that, he was Major General Stanley in "Pirates of Penzance." He plays a child in the beginning of "Kindergarten." At one point, he said he also acts out a pig who barks and dances.
Sarah Celec likes the format, too.
"It allows interaction with the audience. We make eye contact," she said. "It's more comfy and cozy with the audience in a big theater."
She directed "A Christmas Carol" last year and was in "The Bad Seed." She's been performingmore than 20 years and worked professionally in New York and Virginia. She said she enjoys straight theater - shows with no music.
"Sometimes in musical theater, on some level it never gets beyond the musical aspect," she said. "But here I get to tell the story and be part of the emotional aspect of the character. I get to dig more."
She said they start off playing the children, but "we tell the wisdom of living and how one should lead their life."
Andre Brown, 33, has been acting since high school when he was put in a show to fill in. He agreed with Celec.
"I was in a lot of musicals the last couple years and needed a break from dancing and singing," he said. "I have many characters to play, so I can dig deeper to understand them. I can take time to research them and develop them."
His personas are a challenge at times.
"I go from being happy and laughing one minute to having to be really upset the next," he said. "It's like flipping a light switch."
LaTasha Do'zia-Earley, 27, has been performing since age six. She went to Shenandoah Conservatory for musical theater and teaches in Frederick County and Winchester. This is her second show at the Apollo.
"I was in this show in 2001 as a high school junior, and again in 2009," she said. "But this is my first non-musical version."
She said her mom is a fan of the show.
"She saw me in it in 2001 and came back to see it three times. She said she could relate," Do'zia-Earley said. "A life lesson is that it's fun to be childlike. We forget the innocence and purity of that time and wonder where we changed - not being playful and being dedicated to work and not being as happy. But, everyone will get a different perspective. That's the beauty of the show."
Charles Boyce, 47, likes shows with small casts. He's been in "Greater Tuna" and "K2." Most shows were in Frederick, where he met his wife in a 1995 production, or Full Circle Theater Company and Old Opera House. He hasn't been at the Apollo for several years since working in "The Boys Next Door."
"I like the interaction with small casts. It's actor-driven. We carry the whole thing," he said. "We have a string of interesting five- to 15-minute skits. There's a consistent theme but they're all different."
McDonald said "Kindergarten" is a family-friendly show. But since there's no large set, songs or dance to keep younger ones occupied, it may be best suited for ages 12 and older.
Sari Jennings is the show's piano accompanist.
Canned goods are being accepted at all shows as part of the "Hunger Never Takes an Intermission" program, to be donated to a local food bank.

Twenty-six gun show operators in New York State have agreed to put in place new rules designed to prevent the sale of guns to customers who can't pass criminal background checks, State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced Friday.
The organizations, including at least seven that operate gun shows in Western New York, reached voluntary agreements with the State Attorney General's Office to follow a set of model procedures that grew out of Schneiderman's 2011 investigation of gun shows in the state.
Highlights of the new procedures include notifying dealers at the show that they must complete a background check before any guns change hands, tagging each weapon sold at the show to make it easier to confirm the required check was performed and making an effort to ensure illegal gun sales aren't made outside the gun show building.
"The cooperation we have seen shows that public safety does not need to be divisive or a partisan issue. Gun show operators around the state have voluntarily agreed to adopt simple procedures that increase the safety of New Yorkers without infringing upon the Second Amendment rights of gun owners," Schneiderman said in a statement.
In the 2011 gun show probe, undercover investigators were able to buy semiautomatic rifles here and across the state without undergoing a criminal background check.
The undercover agents were able to buy the weapons even after telling the sellers they had domestic-violence histories.
Ten dealers were charged with illegal gun sales following the eight-month investigation that included visits to gun shows in Erie and Genesee counties. Nine pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charges, and one was found guilty following a jury trial.
The attorney general's office used the threat of future sting operations to win cooperation from gun show operators in putting in place the model procedures.
Schneiderman last November in Buffalo announced that Niagara Frontier Collectors, which hosts shows here, was one of the first to cooperate with the new regulations.
They're now up to 26 operators, and the rules should be in place for at least 55 gun shows held this year, Schneiderman said Friday.
In addition to Niagara Frontier Collectors, the local operators include: Bontrager Real Estate and Auction Services in Genesee County; Daniel A. Carter Auction Co., Cattaraugus County; New York State Arms Collectors Association, Genesee County; RL Mason Auction, Allegany County; Williston Auctions, Erie County; and York-Penn Shows, Cattaraugus County.
The gun show operators also agree to post signs alerting dealers and customers to the background check requirement; limit the number of entry and exit points at the show to make it easier to determine whether a check has been performed; and request law enforcement patrols in the parking lots of the shows to discourage illegal sales.
The background check requirement is included in a 2000 state law and predates the controversial New York SAFE Act, a set of gun laws recently signed into law.
Schneiderman's office is handling the prosecution of the first defendant charged under the SAFE Act, Benjamin M. Wassell, a Silver Creek resident who is accused of illegally modifying two assault-style weapons before selling them to an undercover officer.

What one does after taking a picture with a digital camera and looking at the result. Derived from the words they speak when chimping: "Ooo-oo-oo!"
Locals: Stupid tourists and their stupid chimping.
Tourists: Ooo-oo-oo! Look at Jane in front of car! She so pretty!

A sexual act beloved of Germans involving ,defecating into your hand and throwing it at each other. Soft furnishings should , I would imagine , have to be kept to a minimum and a window left open!!
Helga curled one off into her hand. " Oh Willi " she called. "Lets do Chimping " . Willi turned and saw what was coming his way , ducked , and the Belgian Ambassador copped it. This caused him to drop his tray of tasty chocolates. He bent down to pick them up , put them back on the tray and after regaining his feet he got hit , in the eye , by Willis' turd . The Ambassador retaliated by throwing chocolates at people. One chocolate hit Helgas' dress. Oh you are Disgusting!! said Helga.

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! The entire Weather Watch 12 team would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
Assuming the snow depth at Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee remains at 1" for Christmas Day, this will officially be a white Christmas in Milwaukee. The winter season so far has produced below average amounts of snow for the metro area. In Milwaukee, the December snow deficit is around 4", while the winter deficit is nearing 7".
While no big storms are in sight for southeast Wisconsin, numerous chances for light snow or flurries will rule the forecast the final week of 2012.
Once we move past some Christmas Eve/Day snowflakes, the best chance for light snow looks to be around Friday, December 28. A weak disturbance will slip through the upper Midwest triggering light snow showers. The GFS forecast surface map below is valid at 3pm Friday. This shows precipitation over southern Wisconsin. With temperatures below freezing this would translate to light snow.
Last week's wet storm system that brought record precipitation to Milwaukee occurred right at the tail end of the 'active' period in this year's LRC weather pattern. We are now moving into a period of weather that should bring our area fast moving system that may be moisture starved. The big systems will be near the coasts of the U.S., and possibly the South.
I expect the most active period of weather in the LRC to return to southeast Wisconsin around January 22-February 11.
Before we get to the next active period more ups and downs in temperatures will highlight the forecast ahead. If you are looking for a warm-up or moderation in temperature one may occur early in 2013. The 500mb(middle of the atmosphere) map below is from November 10, 2012. Notice the large trough in the West, and the southwest flow across the Midwest. This set-up brought a quick, but big warm-up to southeast Wisconsin around November 10-11.
Projecting this forward would place the warm-up or moderation in the early days of 2013. Any warm-up likely would not last long and could end with a system that brings rain or snow to the area.
We will talk more about the LRC and the January forecast in the coming days.
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!
