The Sacajawea Center is located on the grounds of the Franklin Pre-Release Center (FPRC) located in Columbus, Ohio. FPRC serves an average of 492 minimum, medium and close security inmates. The Sacajawea Center is proud to commit to the following educational programs:
Various teaching aids are used by the school to involve all three of the primary learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. For example, having students use large, brightly colored maps and computerized educational games changes the daily routine, keeps their interest, provides a variety of subject matter, and challenges them in ways that textbooks and written assignments cannot.
The FPRC Sacajawea Center library is not much different from a public library, but correctional libraries are all things to the Ohio prison system: A reading library; research library; school library, and a place to study and share resources. System-wide the department utilizes the Mandarin M3® Library Automation System which is a standard streamlined networked library collection. FPRC library staff catalog, circulate, track and train the user, while patrons learn to navigate and use the system to improve reentry skills to search and select books and materials while using a setup that is equivalent to community libraries. The reading materials include, but are not limited to, the following: Popular reading materials center (i.e. circulation of recreational reading materials, magazines and newspapers); Independent learning center (e.g. assistance in self-directed reading for lifelong learning and personal needs, information on careers and vocational skills, reference services, and assistance with correspondence courses); Formal education support center (i.e. information on educational opportunities, and materials and services supporting adult basic education, English for non-native speakers, vocational education, and post-secondary education courses), including the Legal information center (e.g. legal research tools, case materials, legal forms). The FPRC Library is open seven days a week including evenings and weekends.

On Monday, a "For Sale" sign went up for the tower and the factory below it and residents are worried that their town may be losing its most famous landmark.
The asking price? $500,000.

Nokia Lumia 825 might be a budget 5.2" Windows Phone with quad-core Snapdragon 400
0. phoneArena 14 Aug 2013, 06:02 posted on
An interesting notion surfaced about Nokia's upcoming big-screen phones portfolio. Sources indicated that leaked specs for a "budget" phablet of sorts are actually what might end up as a Nokia Lumia 825. The phone is expected to sport a large 5.2" display with 720p resolution, and be powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, pointing at the Lumia that leaked on GFXBench not long ago...

Don't be suprised because Nokia is taking us home of triumph.
6. maverick786us (Posts: 148; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
Thats definately a good news, that means a Lumia 9XX series with quad core SD 800 and 1080P screen might be in the pipeline too. Why should Lord be merciful on you, diaper girl?

Great strategy by Nokia. Nokia will break limits after GDR3 just wait and WATCH!!!!!

you tell me if > 70% of nokia's employees werent kicking themselves in the butt feeling sorry that it should be them ruling the smartphone world instead of samsung, had eflop gone for android vs wp... nokia = super quality hardware + beautiful looking devices + killer camera, neither samsung are offering...
8. sri_tech (Posts: 188; Member since: 21 May 2013)
People don't care about beautiful looking phones and super quality hardware as much as you think.
Otherwise they won't buy Samsung at all.
Its good that Nokia going with WP instead of android. We don't need 2 horse race like PC industry.
10. Antonyjoseph (Posts: 217; Member since: 06 Apr 2013)
You are so right. Many people I know wouldn't even think of buying a Samsung if Nokia were also making Android phones. But WP is getting better each day. I only wish MS would speed up things a bit. Nokia is doing everything it can.
53. Jehovah (Posts: 69; Member since: 25 Jun 2013)
My office has 12 individuals, 10 Samsung users, 1 LG and yours truly with Nokia and Samsung. I did an informal survey and simply all of them would switch back to Nokia if they went Android.
I am really into WP and never wished for a Google monopoly, but there is some evidence that Nokia could do just great with Android.
I think the availability is really helping Samsung here in Brazil. Their top products reach our stores within a month or so. With Nokia the wait is excruciating, the Lumia 920 took more than 5 months to get here. There is no sign of the 925. And I can only hope the the Lumia 1020 would get here by december...
39. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Youre right. People tend to buy samsung phones because of the gimm.. err features it offers for its phones. I did also have samsung because it has more features. I may not use them all but at least, I have options. It also comes handy at times, especially multiwindow.
Also, samsung does great marketing. It skyrocketed Samsung's sales.
5. darkvadervip (Posts: 365; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
Always a hater! This ain't about android or Samsung so shut up and just enjoy the message.
7. Antonyjoseph (Posts: 217; Member since: 06 Apr 2013)
Bring it on Nokia. So we have a 4.7" 625 and now a 5.2" 825. So how about a 4.3" 525, 5" 725 and a 5.5" 930 (Since 925 is already there). While we are at it, how about a 3.5" barebones Lumia 325.
9. maverick786us (Posts: 148; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
I am sure this time they will not rename it 825 because they can't relaunch 925. But it will be a different league of smartphones with quad core processors. Starting from 5XX and 6XX series having 1.0Ghz Quad core, 7XX and 8XX series having 1.1Ghz Quad Core and 9XX series with SD800 quad core and 1080P screen
37. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Maybe 1025 with 5.5-6" screen and aluminum body and same camera like the 1020. Quadcore with 2gb of ram, 1080p display. 2500-3000mAh battery?
48. grapeseed87 (Posts: 123; Member since: 13 Mar 2013)
How about 990? Then At&T version can be 991, Tmob 992, etc. Eventually Verizon gets a 995.

The two extra cores are there to make the spec crazy people happy.
30. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Nope. So your telling me a V6 engine to a V8 to a V12 engine are the same to run....
The other 2 cores will push system, the other pushes the screen, other pushes the apps, and one for sync. You will have less power on all Cpu so it dosen't consume battery. The cpu will float at 300+ instead of 600MHZ.
34. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3791; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
O cut the crap with the car analogy. It's never a valid comparison...you ride on cars, you don't ride on phones, they do tasks.
You don't need an extra if what you have is enough to take care of everything within that device.
More...more...more...that's what you want...nothing else.
41. Dastrix (unregistered)
Welcome back! Oops, I forgot, you're 'limited.' Yet, you keep throwing trash out of your filthy mouth. At any rate, it doesn't matter because the fact that your thought-process and understanding is just as limited more than makes up for it.
You just went full retard. Never go full retard. Let me break it down for you. You know nothing about technology, so don't go on commenting with your inaccurate and irrelevant garbage.
Nathan served you right, but the fact that you're saying that a V6 can't be compared to a V8 or V12 is total BS, and I couldn't help it but to laugh and make you look like a total retard. Just because you're one doesn't mean that others are. You know nothing about cars, and you dare compare them to phones? A GT-R has a V6, yet can easily stack up, heck, even surpass an MP4, which, in case you're wondering, has a V8. *Big surprise.* These two supercars are the rivals of the V12 Aventador.
Suck on that now, for starters.

50. user996 (Posts: 215; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
but you know some 4 cyl cars with one small turbo on it are capable to beat sh*t out of 5,6,8 and even 10,12 and 16 cyl cars. this means thinking correctly and not for bigger is better smaller means less weight and weight means nearly 90% of victory in a car industry
38. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Future proofing. :) didnt you know that androis OS really only needs 2 cores? Its just a matter of optimization of hardware and software.

iLove Nokia
17. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
So you we have to wait 2014 April for the Quad core S800 .... Lumia 9 series or 10 series
Good for nothing having a low budget cheap S400.
31. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3791; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
O shut up you whimp!
WP don't lag even on a dual core processor...i bet Microsoft is putting up with these new processors just to follow the trend and maybe because of people like you who decides the rating of phones with respect to how new and capable the hardware is. They might just need a quad for 1080p resolution. Otherwise, i still believe a dual core S4 pro can very much deal with WP8 without a hitch.
Hopeless, no good, spec hungry troll!
21. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
im already happy with the snappy performance of my Lumia 520... now this!.. damn i wanna upgrade soon... :3

52. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1546; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
This is it folks now nokia can cut loose and fly like a goose. there no more restrictions to the Windows Phone 8 using all the high tech gear a smart phone can have. the nokia 1020 is a not Nokia's 2013 flag ship smart phone because I bet you a 5 or 6 inch 1080p screen Nokia lumia smart phone with quad core CPU, screen and the 41 pixel super camera with come out later this year that will be KING of the windows smart phones. the only problem with this device will be
BATTERy LIFE because folks if you want Quad core CPU's and HD screens and the rest of the high tech goodies a smart phone can have all this tech will eat up battery power something fearce
55. kabir02 (Posts: 18; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
I foresaw Nokia at the zenith of window phones chat. Really indeed.
56. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
if its a quad core it shows Nokia is ready to show some of its monstrosities based on the newest hardware.
I don't see a necessity of using so powerful chips but in the end, the customer is what matters. If ignorants want to have quad cores to enjoy their devices, give them what they want...even if it's completely unnecessary.
57. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
With Quad Core processors, more and more developers will port more demanding gaming onto the WP App store which will already add to the excellent usability of the OS. Was considering the Lumia 620 as a low end budget phone, but this sounds more future proof.

A very comfortable and rather central location. It is brilliantly clean and ample bedding and towels, but a few basics like tea/coffee would be helpful, as would the "heads up" that you must pay 12€ as a "city tax", for which you fill in a form. The local gas bar is great for some groceries and delicious bakeries and cafes are nearby, as is the Mozart museum.
The apartment Teresa is within walking distance behind the main train station in Neustadt. All sights are within walking distance to reach on value for money is OK. The apartment is managed by an "owner company" and is located in an apartment building. The manager came to meet our needs and enabled us kindly a much earlier access to the apartment. The apartment was functional and clean. Some certainties other apartments are a bit sparse limited (z. B. additional trash bags, tablets for the dishwasher).
Das Apartment Teresa liegt fußläufig hinter dem Hauptbahnhof in der Neustadt. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist OK. Die Wohnung wird von einer "Vermietergesellschaft" verwaltet und liegt in einem Mehrfamilienhaus. Der Verwalter kam unseren Wünschen entgegen und ermöglichte uns freundlicherweise einen deutlich früheren Zugang zur Wohnung. Die Wohnung war funktional und sauber. Manche Selbstverständlichkeiten anderer Ferienwohnungen sind etwas karg limitiert (z. B. zusätzliche Müllbeutel, Tabs für die Spülmaschine).

For 30 years, Roger Jenot taught American history classes at Carey High School. Because he looked so much like Abraham Lincoln, he started playing the role of the 16th U.S. President for programs at schools, libraries and other locations.
In observance of Presidents' Day, Jenot gave a program Saturday at the American Civil War Museum of Ohio with about two dozen people attending. Jenot explained how he was persuaded to role play the Abraham Lincoln.
"I had a student in my class one day who seemed to think I looked like the picture (of Lincoln) on the wall," Jenot said.

Roger Jenot, playing Abraham Lincoln, speaks Saturday at the American Civil War
Museum of Ohio, Tiffin.
A mosaic of Lincoln at the museum.
For his early presentations, Jenot did not have period attire, except for a stovepipe hat the art teacher made for him. He had to learn what details he should omit from his presentations. When he told a kindergarten class that President Lincoln liked the having kittens in the White House to calm him and ease his depression, the children all wanted to talk about their own pets.
"I had a young man, about 7 or 8 years old, that said something to me about elephants," Jenot said.
He said the boy was embarrassed when his classmates laughed, but Jenot saw it as a teachable moment. He told the class the King of Siam had offered to send elephants to help Lincoln win the Civil War.
As was portrayed in the recently-released motion picture, "Lincoln," the president was famous for his story telling. He also is the subject of many stories that have been passed along. Jenot narrated one incident in which Lincoln was giving a speech at the White House, and his son, Tad, upstaged him by waving a Confederate flag from the balcony above his father.
At some points in the program, Jenot took questions from the audience. One person asked what books or authors Jenot found to be the most helpful. He named books by Benjamin Thomas and David H. Donald, among many others.
Jenot said he saw "Lincoln." He gave high marks to Daniel Day Lewis for the excitement and emotion the actor exhibited in his role as the president.
"I thought Tommy Lee Jones, that played the radical Republican, Thaddeus Stevens, was fabulous," Jenot said.
He also thought Sally Field was a good fit for Mary Todd Lincoln. The film was a highly accurate account of the events associated with passage of the 13th Amendment, to abolish slavery. Jenot was pleased that the movie mentioned James Ashley, from Toledo, the congressman who was behind the writing the amendment.
"That's what brings this back to Northwest Ohio. They covered Ashley, and I thought he got quite a bit of coverage," Jenot said.
During his research, Jenot learned about an attempt on Lincoln's life in 1864. The president often made unescorted trips to the family's Anderson Cottage, three miles outside of Washington, D.C. On one such trip, someone had fired at Lincoln and knocked off his hat. After that, a special unit was organized to guard him.
"When he went in a wagon down the streets of D.C., he was so embarrassed because he didn't want to look like he was scared and needed those people," Jenot said.
Lincoln was not afraid to bypass security and go out in public by himself. On at least two occasions before the assassination, John Wilkes Booth had been near enough to President Lincoln to kill him, yet he waited until the night of the stage production.
After the assassination, Booth was able to escape from Washington D.C. and go into hiding. A search party was sent out with instructions not to harm Booth but to take him into custody for questioning about the other conspirators who helped him.
The soldiers located him in a tobacco barn on a Virginia farm. When Booth refused to come out, the soldiers set fire to the barn. Booth still hesitated to surrender, so a man in the crowd, Boston Corbett, ignored orders and fired his gun into the barn.
"He shot Booth, hit him in the back of the neck, severed his spine besides that, the fire is going and they have to rush in to get him out," Jenot said.
Booth was snatched from the flames and carried into the farm house. Paralyzed and mortally wounded, he died without giving any information. His only request was for his mother to know he died for his "country," the Confederacy.
"The things that happened, just little things, that could've changed that night He could have missed that play that night," Jenot said. "There were some really crazy things that I find so unusual about that."
Jenot is amazed at what Lincoln was able to accomplish before his death. The former teacher said he would like to see some Lincoln-style leadership in the contemporary White House.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska � Charles Baird is going off the grid for a year.
The 40-year-old oil company employee and filmmaker from Anchorage will move to the mostly uninhabited Latouche Island in Alaska�s Prince William Sound at the end of May, completing a dream he�s been contemplating for 17 years.
Baird will build a 12-foot by 12-foot shed to shelter him from the elements, and he plans to hunt and fish and fend off an occasional black bear during his sojourn to the Alaska wilderness.
He�ll be incommunicado, only allowing himself to send short messages out via a satellite uplink to www.facebook.com/AlaskanPioneer and no way to receive any in. He won�t even know who won the November presidential election for six months. He calls his experiment more modern-day homesteading than a survival game, but he�s heading into the adventure well-armed.
�I may see some hunters and fishermen come by but otherwise I will be on my own, just me and my dog,� he said.
Latouche Island is a narrow strip of land (12 miles long, 3 miles wide) located about 100 miles southwest of the port city of Valdez. Like many islands in Prince William Sound, people digging into the beach there can still find oil from the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.
The now abandoned Latouche city site once was home to 4,000 people, because of copper mining. The mine closed in 1930, and now the island is dotted with occasional seasonal cabins and not much else. The island is mostly used for subsistence hunting.
Kate and Andy McLaughlin live in Chenega Bay, a village six miles away on Evans Island, and own a cabin on Latouche.
Kate McLaughlin doesn�t know Baird, but has heard his story many times. In fact, she�s written a book about people coming to Alaska to live the remote lifestyle and is in the process of trying to find a publisher.
�We�ve seen several people of his ilk try to come out and say, �We�re going to build a cabin, we�re going to live out here and do it,�� she said. �It�s tough.�
Some abandoned supplies from those people making earlier attempts can still be found strewn on the beach.
The challenges of Latouche Island are numerous, and foremost is the weather.
�You�re fighting the cold or the mold,� McLaughlin said of the seemingly constant precipitation, snow and rain.
Baird said the island has anywhere from 80-120 inches of snow in a typical winter, along with 70 inches of rain a year.
The McLaughlins� two-story cabin on the beach had snow up to the roof this winter.
�It�s wet, things don�t dry out,� said Dave Janka, who owns Auklet Charter Services in Cordova. �You get lots of snow.�
Much like Cordova, he called Latouche Island �paradise with rain.�
�Heavy weather is going to be a constant companion,� said RJ Kopchak, a Cordova businessman and former commercial fisherman. �That�s what happens there.�
Another problem? Black bears. There�s a large bear population on the island, and McLaughlin says they �love to get into trouble.�
Baird said he�ll be safe from the bears. He�ll carry a .44 with him at all times, has a shotgun �and a few other weapons, as well.� The dog will also alert him to any predators.
There are building restrictions on the uninhabited island, Baird said, so he will have to construct his makeshift cabin without digging into the ground for a foundation.
He plans to have lumber delivered to build his cabin, which will be located about a third of a mile from the beach, about 150 feet up a hill.
He�ll have plentiful fishing opportunities.
�The nice thing about the ocean is twice a day you�ve got a dinner table set out for you,� Janka said.
The challenges don�t faze Baird, who is ex-military, except perhaps for one.
�Probably the biggest challenge is the isolation,� he said, adding it was an issue for some of his classmates in an Air Force Academy survival training course.
Some �did experience hallucinations and even group delusions, just minor things. But it is kind of a concern, being alone that long,� he said.
He said he�s worked with psychologists at Harvard and the University of Chicago, talking through the things he can expect, such as nightmares.
�I think I�ll be OK, I�ve done a lot of work on my own, and I�ll also have a dog, which probably will help keep things stabilized,� he said.
He also plans to keep busy by reading, taking a couple thousand books on an electronic reader. He�ll keep it charged with wind and solar systems he�s taking with him.
Baird is planning to keep a diary, which could be turned into a book. He�s also thinking of writing an instructional book of how to live in the remote wilderness.
Then there�s also the filming, day in and day out, of his experiences alone on the Alaska island.
Once he returns to civilization, he�ll edit the video and try to sell it as a documentary series.
Baird is not the first to make or film such an odyssey.
Dick Proenneke lived alone in a remote cabin and kept journals published as the classic Alaska memoir One Man�s Wilderness.
He moved to his cabin in 1968 at the age of 52. Proenneke lived alone until 1998 in what is now Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. He also filmed his adventures, which have been turned into DVDs and were aired on PBS. He died in 2003.

The National Audubon Society has invited birders and nature enthusiasts across the country to help track the health of hummingbird populations with Audubons Hummingbirds at Home app. This citizen science project utilizes the power of volunteers to compile data at a scale that scientists could never accomplish alone.
Every spring, many hummingbirds migrate long distances and must eat several times their weight in nectar daily to stay alive. Hummingbirds visit our yards every year, looking for nectar from our gardens and feeders. As flowers bloom earlier because of warming temperatures, the impact on hummingbirds, which rely on nectar could be significant. Hummingbirds at Home collects data on how hummingbirds interact with food sources and offers researchers important insight on the effects of climate change and their well-being.
Matt Johnson is the Beidler Forest Director of Education.
Consider this the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds wings beat over 50 times every second, its heart can beat more than 1,000 times each minute and the whole bird weighs less than a quarter, he said. If that is not amazing enough, these tiny birds often fly over the Gulf of Mexico each spring and fall during their annual migration. Its safe to say that this bird needs all of the help it can get from us thats why this app and this project are so important.
Participants can get involved by spending a few minutes as frequently as they wish to collect invaluable data from feeding areas in their communities. Audubons Hummingbird at Home app makes it fun and easy. There is no cost to participate and using the free mobile app or website makes it simple to report sightings and learn more about these remarkable birds. For more information visit www.hummingbirdsathome.org.

- - 2012 Never Summer SL...not as fun as my Slayblade (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/44561-2012-never-summer-sl-not-fun.html)
2012 Never Summer SL...not as fun as my Slayblade
Well, I had my first riding experience with my 2012 Never Summer SL 155 at Mt. Charleston (Las Vegas) the past couple days. My old board for comparison is a 2009 K2 Slayblade with their Flatline tech (zero camber). I'm 5'7", 165lbs, with size 7.5 boots. Anyway, I had pretty high hopes for it considering the accolades on the site in addition to it being my first exposure to the RC tech. Compared to the Slayblade, I found it to be a lot more squirelly flat-basing (which I expected) and a little harder to turn (which I didn't considering the RC tech). Granted, I was coming from a 153 to 155 size so the bigger size could've accounted for the turning issues but it shouldn't make that much of a difference. Snow conditions were packed powder and I was mainly riding on the groomers and doing tree runs(slow-speed, tight-turns).
I was definitely missing the flat-base stability of the Slayblade. It seemed like the SL wanted to be on edge constantly. Turn initiation also seemed easier with the Slayblade as well. The damping of the SL was also noticeably less than that of the Slayblade (guess the Harshmellow really does make a differnce!).
Just posing a question to other board members whether a couple days of riding is enough to make a fair judgement on the SL and the RC tech?:dunno: Anyone else compared a zero camber board with the NS RC board and had a similar experience?
I Have never rode the slayblade, I rode a 157 Darkstar before my 155 SL both were awesome boards but I love my SL has been able to handle everything I have thrown at it so far from jumps through to ice, powder and tight tree turns. Don't really know what you mean by you find the turn initiation harder seeing as I can not compare it to the slapyblade but am able to turn my SL with the slightest of ease :dunno: maybe you just need some more time on it but I knew from my first run on it that I loved it.
Yeah the slower turn initiation of the SL kinda surprised me considering the center rocker and deep sidecut of the camber sections that it possesses. I can only describe that the Slayblade was more responsive than the SL at the instant where i first bend my front leg to engage the toe-side edge.
I wonder if the SL needs to be more on edge during turning (i.e., at a higher angle)? The Slayblade just seems so responsive given that the zero camber allows the whole edge to engage at once it seems.
I'll give the SL another go at Winter Park late January so see if I just need to dial it in more...
Nah... 2012 SL 155 is utter crap. Terrible edgehold, noodle-ly and washes out every turn... you should put it up on Ebay ($100 starting bid, no reserve, 1 day auction) and get rid of it.
Heh...I knew I was gonna catch some flak from the people around here for daring to say anything negative about a Never Summer.:p In all honesty, I just felt that the Slayblade does outperform the SL in turning and stability given my first couple of days on the SL, which to me equals more fun for my riding style.
I won't question the superb build quality of the SL, however, as I ran over some tree roots that were sticking out and rocks with no noticeable scratches in the base at all. :)
In all seriousness though, I think everyone should account when testing out a new board the first day of the season after 2 riding the same board for 2 years that it WILL feel different. I am very comfortable in my riding but my first day out riding every season is defiantly a little shaky compared to a mid season ride.
Seriously though, I happen to like NS boards and know they are top-quality boards... but their aren't made of rainbows and cocaine that will instantly make you an amazing pro rider (and it is totally possible that the board is not what you like). I read too many un-objective reviews from people that just over-hype Never Summer boards... pretty much every board review here is way over the top to "arouse excitement" in the luddites.
Don't come here to try to rationalize what you feel... just ride it more, ... and if you still don't like it... try a different board (after selling me yours for half off).
I just bought a Proto ct for this season, hands down the best board i have ever ridden.
I was disappointed with my NS SL to be honest but over time I have come to respect it as a weapon in bad and icy snow conditions. I have confidence in that board that I would never have in a full rocker board.
I haven't ridden the SL or any NS board for that matter but I've had the same issues as you with the rocker-camber boards I have ridden. I enjoy the low speed playfulness and the pop of the cambered tips but I never feel comfortable flat basing at high speeds. I think I'm too light (160lb.) to keep the board pressed into the snow and that nose always wants to lift and it feels like it's going to catch when it comes back down. Next RC board I try I will be downsizing from my usual 155-157 to a 152-154 to see if bringing the camber nearer my feet affords me more control. I'm also going to be looking for something with a little softer flex so that I'll hopefully be able to manipulate the board better with my limited poundage.
Just got my first flat camber board, a nitro rook, so I'm exited to try that profile out to see if it's more stable when flat basing.

The bird is so yellow they used to call it the banana bird. It's so big it won't fit in your hand. But the rarely seen evening grosbeak might sit nicely at your bird feeder this winter.
More info
To learn more or sign up for the eBird online bird listing, go to www.ebird.org and click on "About."
A shortage of pine cone seeds in the Northeast and Ontario has the seed-eating grosbeak, other finches and similar birds on the move like it hasn't been seen in years. Ornithologist Dennis Forsythe and other birders say this might become the best year in a generation for spotting wintering birds you just don't see here.
In other words, this might be a good Christmas to give him or her that bird feeder you've been getting hints about.
Forsythe, who documents South Carolina sightings for the online bird listing eBird, hasn't seen an evening grosbeak locally since the 1970s.
He's already seen a red-breasted nuthatch at his James Island bird feeder, and he's seen that bird only once before. Endearingly, the nuthatch has been snatching sunflower seeds from the feeder and storing them on a nearby tree branch.
Forsythe has never seen a white-winged crossbill, and "a big flight is apparently on the move," he said. The birds have begun showing up in Manteo on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Sightings could get even wackier, he said. Birds such as pine grosbeaks or Bohemian waxwings could arrive. They're usually not seen anywhere near this far south.
"The indications are this stuff is moving and it's going to be a really big year," Forsythe said.
Any one of the species or more could turn up with cool regulars like pine siskins, and purple or gold finches. The big question: When would they arrive?
"Who knows? Any time now. As weather worsens, they move on," Forsythe said.
Watch for visitors
Any number of unusual birds could turn up. Here's a few of the more unusual to watch for:Red-breasted nuthatchLong-billed, short-tailed birds about palm size. Excitable.Calls like tiny tin horns.Collects resin from pine trees to coat the rim of its tree nest hole, likely to ward off predators.Evening grosbeakLarge, brightly colored. Large white patch on the wing.When a flock settles to feed, it can clean out a feeder in short time.A female once collided with an airplane more than a mile in the air. Ornithologists don't know if that high altitude is unusual for the birds.White-winged crossbillStocky, red or green, black wings with two large white wing bars.Can eat up to 3,000 cone seeds per day.Red feathers of the male have barbs that can make the wings look pink early in the winter.Red crossbillStocky, red or greenish body, darker wings, short notched tail and thick, curved bill with crossed tips.So dependent on cone seeds it feeds them to its young.Odd-shaped bill thought to help it get into pine cones.Bill shapes and calls vary. Different calls are said to correspond to different bill shapes.Pine grosbeakPlump, curved stubby bill. Dark wings with two white crossbars. Males are red; females olive and gray.Largest and rarest of the "winter finches."Called "mope" locally in Newfoundland because it's so tame and slow-moving.Bohemian waxwingBrownish-gray, black-mask face, crest on the head, tail yellow-tipped, white-edged wing feathers.The name refers to the nomadic movement of winter flocks said to be like gypsies.One of only three waxwing species known to exist.Source: Cornell University, All About Birds

"It's not easy," a source told PEOPLE, "but the relationship needed to end."
Clues that the young couple, who dated for nearly two years, were in trouble first surfaced this summer.
Bieber, 18, was late to a Fuse TV taping in June "because he and Selena were fighting," a different source told PEOPLE at the time, while another insider revealed that Gomez, 20, "was crying about Justin" during pal Ashley Tisdale's birthday party on July 2.
Although they quickly reconciled, things have seemed amiss in recent days.
Though Gomez was spotted at Bieber's Minneapolis concert on Oct. 20, a week later, he posted a photo of himself on Instagram with the caption, "Just me." Shortly thereafter, he posted a black-and-white photo of himself looking plaintive with the message "lingse" – which fans were quick to point out spelled "single" when the letters were unscrambled. He soon deleted it.
Moving on Already?While Gomez had been busy shooting a reunion special for her hit Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place in L.A., Bieber performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in NYC on Wednesday before hitting an afterparty at Lavo where some of the models were "making a fuss over him," an observer tells PEOPLE.
The following night, a witness saw Bieber and his security picking up two brunettes at NYC's Alex hotel. Bieber then went to see The Lion King on Broadway, where the two women were also photographed. One was identified by the New York Post as Hungarian model Barbara Palvin.
The model, 19, also posed with Bieber and pal rapper Lil' Twist in a shot the rapper posted online before taking it down – but not before Gomez posted the shot on her own Twitter feed with a set of ellipses.
(For her part, Palvin Tweeted, "hey everyone. please calm down. he is all yours!! :) please :)")
In an interview with PEOPLE in early September, Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette may have foreshadowed a split. Gomez "is a sweetheart," she said. "But I don't think there are plans for [marriage] in the near future."
Bieber himself seems unsure as to the current state of his relationship.
"I don't know what to say," Bieber told John Garabedian on his Open House Party radio show Saturday. "I don't know really what's even going on in my life, so ... to even assess that doesn't make sense 'cause I've not made any comment."

While consumer-oriented Linux has been on a rise of late due
to healthy sales of the ASUS Eee PC, and Dell which offers a range
of notebooks and desktops preloaded with Ubuntu on their
website, the store shelves don't quite seem ready for the March of
the Penguins to reach their desktops.
Wal-Mart, the sole brick-and-mortar retailer of Everex's $199 gPC, has effectively
pulled the Linux-based machine off its store shelves, citing a lack of
demand. Oddly enough, the in-store supplies of the gPC were sold out across the
approximately 600 stores that received shipments -- but Wal-Mart spokesperson
Melissa O'Brien stated that "This really wasn't what our customers were
looking for."
Online buyers didn't appear to share these feelings, and the
Wal-Mart.com site is now offering
the second-generation gPC2 for sale, in addition to Everex's CloudBook,
an ultraportable Linux laptop aiming to cut into the Eee PC's market.
With competition in the low-budget PC market heating up in 2008, the lack of
licensing fees could mean that Linux will be found on many more desktops and
laptops -- but if the sales of the gPC are any indication, it may still be some
time before it gains a serious foothold in the mainstream retail market.
According to Net
Applications, Linux held on to only 0.67%
market share in January 2008. This figure pales in comparison to OS X which
commanded 7.57% of the market and Windows which continues to outshine all with
91.46% of the OS market.
quote: You mean all of the msgboard posters who claim Linux is 1000x better than Windows are wrong? The average consumer doesnt want linux? Looks to me like Windows have nearly a 160x bigger market share than old linux.
quote: Windows does not control the market because they dominate the home desktop PC world, Windows dominates because they own the business world. Its a trickle effect, solely target business's and the tricle effect of people being required to know and use windows at work, will ensure the same people buy a windows PC at home.

Maui state House Rep. Joe Souki fended off one last challenge by his state House opponents to become speaker again on Wednesday's opening day of the state Legislature on Oahu.
"We expected that," said Souki of the challenge, noting that he had secured enough votes for the speakership before Wednesday. "And they wanted to save face."
In a last-ditch legislative maneuver, Souki's predecessor Calvin Say - who had said last month that he would not run for the post because he did not have enough votes - offered a floor amendment to give state House members a chance to vote for his chosen successor, Rep. Marcus Oshiro.

Say's amendment failed, but before the vote, the former speaker noted that he and 17 other representatives, including Maui Rep. Kyle Yamashita, supported the floor amendment that would name Oshiro as speaker.
Souki did not expect his rise to state House speaker to affect the rest of the session, adding that he has made peace with opponents. Members of Say's camp came over to him after the opening session, and "now they are willing to work with me," Souki told The Maui News on Wednesday evening.
"I don't think there will be a problem at all," the new speaker said.
Yamashita and Oshiro could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday.
Oahu Rep. Sharon Har spoke out against the resolution that would make Souki speaker, citing revenge, retribution, vengeance, vindictiveness and punishment by the new leadership. She urged her colleagues to vote down the resolution in comments during the opening session.
In a phone interview after the opening session, Har said that she and other representatives had concerns about Souki's leadership and appointments and did not want to vote on the resolutions on opening day of the Legislature.
Souki "outright refused" to put off the vote on resolutions making him speaker and on committee assignments, she said.
Har apologized for her public objections, but said she had no choice but to speak up at the ceremonial opening session.
She said she believed that Souki had been harboring a lot of anger since he lost his speakership to Say 14 years ago. She did not see the election of Souki as "change." Electing an 80-year-old speaker who served in the post in the past did not constitute change, she said.
"That's moving backward; that's not moving forward," Har said.
Souki responded by saying that Har is "taking it (the change) very hard." He noted that she and other Say supporters might be having a difficult time with the shift in leadership and power.
The new speaker also denied Har's account of not being open to further discussions on leadership changes and that he was not directly involved in the negotiations on those issues.
"We were very inclusive," Souki added.
Even those from Say's camp were given leadership positions. He said his decision to challenge Say for the speakership was not personal.
"I have nothing but aloha for Calvin Say," he said. "It's unfortunate it had to come this way."
After Wednesday's session, Maui Rep. Angus McKelvey said via phone from Oahu that he disagreed with Har's remarks. He said there was no revenge or vindictiveness from Souki or the new House leadership.
McKelvey noted that Say supporters held on to leadership positions and some retained powerful positions as well, such as Yamashita remaining in charge of the capital improvement project budget in the powerful state House Finance Committee.
For him, McKelvey said the power struggle in the state House was like "my uncle and pops being at odds with each other" with Say being his "uncle" and Souki as "pops." Mc-Kelvey said that in the end he needed to stand by Souki, although he called Say very qualified for the job as well.
The West Maui lawmaker added that "we've got to move on" and that he was working to reach out to Say supporters to get work done in the Legislature.
"It's truly a team effort now," he said.
At the Wednesday opening session, Rep. Scott Saiki, the House majority leader under Souki, stood in support of the resolution making Souki speaker. He said that while change can sometimes be difficult, he viewed this leadership change as a positive.
"We will usher in a new generation with new perspectives," he said.
After electing the speaker, the House resumed its usual course of opening day festivities with music and speeches at the state Capitol.
Retired U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Akaka was recognized with a standing ovation. Before Souki proceeded into the speaking part of the program, he said: "Danny, this is for you," a tribute to the late U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, who died on Dec. 17. There was song and recognition of Inouye in the program, including Maui's Willie K singing "Danny Boy."
The state Senate held its opening festivities concurrently with the state House. The state Senate elected its leadership with Oahu Sen. Donna Mercado Kim chosen as president. She replaces former Maui state Sen. Shan Tsutsui, who is currently lieutenant governor.
Also officially sworn in was former Kahului House Rep. Gil Keith-Agaran, who took over the state Senate District 5 seat left by Tsutsui, who was appointed lieutenant governor Dec. 27 in a domino-effect of appointments and vacancies in the wake of the death of Inouye.
On Tuesday, Kahului small-business owner and former legislative analyst and clerk Justin Woodson was appointed to Keith-Agaran's seat.
The freshman lawmaker said Wednesday evening that he felt the first day went well. He said people were welcoming and he was reconnecting with familiar folks from his days in the Legislature.
Even though the meeting started off with some contention, Woodson said that in the end, "people no matter what side they are on want to get things done."
Other members of the Maui state House delegation could not be immediately reached Wednesday.
After his election as speaker, Souki welcomed the public and dignitaries to the gathering.
"As you can see, it started with a bang," Souki kidded, alluding to Say's amendment and events that followed.
Even as Say mounted his challenge Wednesday, Souki stuck to his prepared remarks thanking Say for his 14 years as House speaker, noting that his colleague maintained the fiscal solvency of the state and had been a "good steward."
In his address to the members, Souki expressed that there is "cautious optimism" for the state.
"With Hawaii's economy on the rise, construction stable, tourism up and unemployment down, there is reason for cautious optimism," he said. "This is the moment we have been waiting for.
"Over the past few years, the state budget was cut by over $2 billion. Meanwhile, wages dropped, health-benefit costs rose, many people were forced out of work. The homeless population still grows among them, war heroes, persons needing mental health services, families unable to pay their mortgage or rent. We have the chance now, to rebuild what the recession took away."
Souki laid out what areas could be helped, including job creation, medical care, agriculture, infrastructure, protection of natural resources and tourism.
He said there needs to be a "revenue stream" to make improvements in the state. An option would be to have the Legislature rethink tax credits smartly, but he added that he did not want to place an unfair tax burden on "those who can least afford it."
Souki also thanked his supporters for the trust they have in him.
"Let's get to work," Souki said.

Residents call foul
Parents step up to bat for school sports
January 11, 2013
Following rumors of proposed budget cuts to middle school sports programs in Barbour County, concerned parents and community members have banded together to take a proactive approach to the situation....
Puremagix, IQ is an innate ability, the schools have no control whatsoever over childrens' IQ's.
I have had friends for many decades that I had no contact with other than sports growing up. It teaches kids the value of teamwork and how to set goals and work towards those goals. It teaches kids accountability to people besides themselves. In school it allows kids to be part of a positive group. The friendships develop last a lifetime. There are tons of good things that come from sports rather than adults trying to live vicariously through their kids.
On a more constructive note, if sports are truly on the chopping block, would it not make sense to try adding a modest surcharge to the recreational league registration that would go to the middle schools? Perhaps an extra dollar for registration for each kid. It might help close the gap a little.
Or purhaps a similar surcharge for admittance into the highschool sporting events.

Puremagix, I am not sure that you were reading the same article that we read. I was at the meeting last night, and what the parents are trying to do is keep the middle school sports program there so that those kids that want to play, have that option. Most children are not "forced" into playing sports, most "choose" to play sports. Playing sports helps kids realize that they have to do well academically or they cannot play. They work hard in both areas so that they can feel good about themselves. It helps with self-esteem, and several other qualities. Maybe you were not good at sports and therefore think that you should put those down that are good at playing sports. Whatever the reason for your comments, there are those of us who would work hard to make sure that our children are given the same opportunities as every other child when it comes to academics and/or sports. I want my children to be able to excel in whatever he/she desires.

Parents don't have a problem funding them, the problem is that by and large the community doesn't care enough about the schools in general. If they did, the bond and levies would have passed, but instead they were beaten by a large margin.
I've played every sport I could, and I've coached several teams in baseball and soccer as an adult, and there are VERY few kids that are being forced into it. And in all of these recreational leagues, the parents are indeed paying for it. They pay for it through registration fees, by volunteering time, by running the concession stands, etc.
Money spent on sports is not "wasted". Myself and soccermom have given multiple examples of how its good for kids. I don't see how you equate money spent on sports with poor math skills. They are independent activities.
You bemoan the money spent on sports and poor education while simultaneously discrediting college as well. You make a lot of blanket statements that are patently false.

Folks, just ignore puremagic. He does'nt like anything or anybody....

Oh Boo Hoo. I bet the entire group of parents AND their kids' IQ combined wouldn't make the grade to be even registered.
SPORTS is an 'extra-curricular' activity. PAY for it yourselves. Taxpayers should NOT be paying for after school sports. Parents fund it or get rid of it.
Teach the kids to READ, WRITE, SPELL, ADD, SUBTRACT, HISTORY, SCIENCE and stop making them stupid but hey, they can play ball. Duh!

Just listen to these parents. I bet not ONE of them would have showed up if they said we're taking reading and math out of the curriculum. Hmm...and we wonder why the children graduate STUPID.
ANy teacher will tell you parents won't return their calls; don't show up for meetings, don't get involved in their childrens STUDYING and LEARNING. But boy.....not one of them would miss a sports event, eh?? And we wonder why WV has so many UNSKILLED workers??????????

WOuldn't it be nice if this many showed up at the schools when they had parent/teacher conferences? Yeah. No wonder WV kids grades SUCK!

Pure, People only have to read your comments to know what kind of person you are. Your comments about the intelligence of these parents just shows you arrogance. You have said you have no children so how could you know about the parent have with their children? Stick with something you really know something about. I truly don't think that is too awful much.

what I meant to say is how would you know about the relationships between a parent and their children.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Here is what all of you don't seem to understand. We were all at this meeting to discuss ways to help fund middle school sports just in case it would become a reality that the BOE would see the need to cut funding. I do not know what happens in other counties with school sports, but I can tell you that in Barbour Co parents are not only there for their children's sporting events, but also are there to ensure that their children receive an education. My daughter has played sports since she was 3, it is/has always been HER choice to play. She now plays HS sports AND is on the honor roll. She works hard and earns her grades. Barbour County teachers WILL NOT give athletes grades to play, they must be EARNED. Education is VERY important. All the parents that attended the meeting in question want the best education for their children, but they also want them to have the benefits that come along with sports. It helps children gain self esteem, make friends and become well rounded adults.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Also, maybe if some of you would take the time to go to a school sporting event and show support for the kids in your area you would see that what you are saying is nonsense. While parents in Barbour Co are passionate about their children when they play sports, MOST of us are also passionate about our children getting good grades. Because if they don't have the grades, they won't play or be able to further their education. Maybe before you make comments that make yourself look stupid, you should consider all the facts. If you were not involved in this meeting or know what occurred to bring the meeting about, you should not assume that you know what is happening.

SL TV: Jill Morrison Stays Close To Home
By Emily Barker | Ball State Sports Link
Ball State freshman guard Jill Morrison grew up preparing to one day be part of the tradition that brings Winchester, Indiana together every basketball season.
"Basketball is definitely a big part of Winchester," Morrison said. "You see a lot of people at the games and that was just a great environment when I was younger. It definitely drove me to want to play high school basketball."
Little did Morrison know, her love of basketball would lead her 30 minutes from home to play for Ball State's Brady Sallee and the Cardinals.
"When I first started getting recruited, I was never going to go to Ball State," Morrison said. "It's too close to home. As I got along in my process -- just all the stress and everything -- I was like yes, Ball State. It's close to home and I wanted people to be able to come and watch me. It's too important to me."
Among those who come to watch is Brock Morrison, Jill's older brother. Brock is her biggest competitor and he only fueled her journey to Muncie. Growing up, she was the younger, smaller sibling and it only motivated her to be tougher and helped improve her game.
"Our relationship is special," Brock said. "That may come as a surprise to somebody if we were in the same room together, because not a whole lot of compliments are shared back and forth. We are each other's biggest critics. We want to top each others performances."
"You know, he is my hero," Jill said. "He is my biggest role model. He is the person I look up to and kind of follow in his footsteps. Brock and I are both really competitive and I would say probably against each other the most. We probably have the most unique brother-sister relationship out there.".
As expected with any sibling rivalry, there are several stories that stick in the memory. Brock recalls a heated game in the driveway when Jill was in sixth grade.
"I would always take the ball from her and she would get upset with me and I wouldn't let her get by me, "Brock said. "She thought I was fouling her so I said you have to protect the ball.
"She said 'take it from me one more time, see what happens,' so I took it from her one more time. She reared and punched me in the face. Then, she took off running inside and hid behind Mom like she always used to do when she was a kid."
Even with a sibling competition – and a few punches along the way -- Morrison said she is her older brother's biggest fan.
Brock played Division III basketball at Anderson University. Jill always envied her older brother, but now, the tables have turned.
"Growing up she was always jealous of what I had, and now I am jealous of what she has," Brock said. "All of her records and all of her great accomplishments. Now, she made it to the Division I level."
At Winchester, Morrison averaged 27.8 points per game and the collegiate stage does not seem to intimidate her.
She has played in all 22 games and is averaging just under 10 points per game this season. The freshman scored a career-high 26 points in a win over Western Kentucky.
"It has been an adjustment," Morrison said. "I have had to learn and really learn to accept my new role at the Division I level. It is definitely different than it was in high school, but I enjoy it. I feel like I understand it and the season is going pretty well."
Although she is only a half hour from home, Morrison said the move has been difficult because of the fan base and the confidence of playing in Winchester Field House.
Ball State veterans helped to ease Morrison's transition and calm the freshman nerves of playing Division I basketball.
"Brandy Woody, Brittany Carter, Nathalie Fontaine -- all of them -- have been there for anything," Morrison said. "Normally upperclassman don't really accept freshman into a big role on the team. But, they come to us and are like 'we need you guys to step up and play your game.' That's really key for us, to our confidence and helps us out know we can be comfortable and not on our heels."
The welcoming nature not only helped the transition to Muncie, but also helped the team mold together when they first arrived for practice back in the summer.
"Our chemistry is special," Morrison said. "We all get along really well. It's like we are a family and I feel like that is important to be able to be successful. It's just really fun knowing you have other girls that love you and want you to be successful."
Being so close to her hometown, Morrison has a crowd cheering at every Ball State game at Worthen Arena. The familiar faces not only include her parents and brother, but also members of the Winchester community.
"The atmosphere was really special at Winchester," Morrison said. " The field house was packed on most of our home games. It got really loud in there, it's a smaller place, obviously than to Worthen, but it was just a really special environment.
"To have them come over here to try and make it that special -- to cheer for all of us Cardinals is just amazing."
With the tight-knit community still supporting her, Ball State reminds her that Winchester was a great place to grow up and she will always have a special place for them in her heart.
"It's a really good feeling knowing that people want to support you after high school," Morrison said. " It's fun being able to look back and be like 'I used to play in Winchester and now I'm at Ball State.' It's just great that people travel and watch. Its really special to me."
