Seventeen carries, 176 yards and two touchdowns. A pretty good game for most people. A great first half for Tyler Long.
For Calvert, it was Long's night. For Mohawk, it was simply a long night.
In a clash between two of the area's hottest teams coming in, Calvert found a way to cool down Mohawk and end the Warriors' four-game winning streak. The push for the playoffs and the final Midland Athletic League title continued for the Senecas after a 27-6 win.
"I've said all year, this is a great group of young men and each week, you think they're playing at their top and they show us a little more. We're excited where we're at right now. We found ourselves behind the 8-ball earlier in the year and now we're playing well and kind of control everything we want."
The stat sheet suggests the game was even more one-sided than the scoreboard indicated.
Calvert racked up 380 yards on the ground, 282 from Long. Mohawk finished with just 123 totals yards, 59 of those coming on one first quarter Gunnar Johnson run.
The tone was set early in the night as Long raced past the Mohawk defense for a 45-yard scoring run on Calvert's first offensive series.
The junior said after the game that the performance was all credited to one thing.
"Preparation," Long said. "We wanted to do this for ourselves, try to work for an MAL championship. We had a grind there at the beginning of the season. We came back and worked our butts off to get back in the swing of things and won the last (four) games. We've just been working hard."
"He's a talent," Mohawk coach Erik Baker said of Long. "You get someone that big, that fast, it doesn't matter. We knew he was going to get the ball; we knew he was going to get his touches. It's just hard to stop that kind of athlete."
It appeared as if the fans who filed into Frost-Kalnow Stadium might've been in store for a track meet when Johnson ripped off a 59-yard run on Mohawk's next offensive play. Shortly after, Johnson found the end zone and the MAL's leading rusher had amassed 73 yards on seven carries in less than a quarter. But the Calvert defense didn't allow Johnson a rush longer than 4 yards the rest of the night.
"We were gunning for him," Calvert lineman Austin Perry punned. "We were ready. We knew that he was the leading rusher this year so far, and we wanted to shut that down for this game."
Mission accomplished.
Mohawk collected only five first downs the entire night. Four of which came in the first half. The fifth didn't come until 1:22 remained in the game.
"Our defense has a lot of pride and we don't want to give up one yard any play," Calvert linebacker Adam Recker said. "We don't want to give up a yard. That's our goal and that's how we keep it going."
Recker shined on both sides of the ball. In addition to the role he played in the defensive shutdown, Recker rushed for 109 yards on 17 carries with a score on offense.
"The holes were ginormous. Anybody could run through those things," he said. "The holes were just ginormous, and all I had to do was follow my blockers, and they did a great job. The scout team during the week in practice, they just gave us a great look, gave the line a push up front and they just helped us out greatly."
Long agreed with his assessment of the line's play.
"The line did a fantastic job and I expect that out of them," he said. "They're a great group of kids and they come out and work every day."
Perry, one of the anchors of the line, passed on the credit to the scout team's work during practice.
"We were just doing our own assignments," he said. "The scout team gave us a great look this week, great look. I'd probably say our win was to them because they just pushed us every play. They gave us great looks."
A 7-yard scoring run from Recker and a 15-yard run from Long gave Calvert a 20-6 lead at halftime. After a third quarter stalemate, the Senecas extended their lead early in the fourth on a 10-yard scoring scamper from Drew Ritzler. Mohawk's defense improved in the second half, only allowing the one score, but the offense couldn't get anything going to cut into Calvert's lead.
"It was fundamental stuff. They didn't run anything we didn't expect them to run," Baker said. "They just did a much better job of defensively holding their ground and shedding blocks. We didn't do a very good job of our own technique. That's why the result was what it was."
Mohawk's chance at a league title took a severe blow with the loss, but still remains alive for a playoff spot.
There was a possibility Calvert could end the night MAL champion. However, that went away when Carey rallied to beat Hopewell-Loudon seven miles down the road.
Calvert remains tied with Carey atop the league and can clinch a share of the title by beating Hopewell-Loudon itself next week. The Senecas can win the title outright with a win and a Carey loss to Seneca East. The win Friday also pushed the Senecas closer to locking up a playoff spot of their own.
All this after a 1-4 start to the season.
"Sports are about life lessons. I've talked about that before," Fox said. "If anything, this life lesson this season taught us it didn't look good for us early, but they were able to correct some things and come together as a unit and as a team. And now they're playing well and all their goals ate still in their hands."

Meningitis in Children
Meningitis in Children Overview
Meningitis is a term used to describe an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain or the spinal cord. Meningitis, especially bacterial meningitis, is a potentially life-threatening condition that can rapidly progress to permanent brain damage, neurologic problems, and even death. Doctors need to diagnose and treat meningitis quickly to prevent or reduce any long-term effects.
The focus of this article will be on the common infectious causes of meningitis as they account for the large majority of problems; however, less common causes will be presented.

With the help of Acquia Cloud, YAAB is designing four unique media sites to capture the attention of readers throughout the region
Digital media company YAAB wants to become the next big online news hub in the Middle East. With a goal of engaging editors and readers from throughout the region, the Amman, Jordan-based startup plans to build four unique media sites in 18 months. To meet tight launch deadlines, YAAB has chosen Drupal and Acquia Cloud as its development platform.
Reliability and scalability were key requirements in the decision. In the news business, where readership can grow exponentially when a breaking story hits, downtime is not an option. In addition, YAAB wanted its news sites, which will combine professional journalism with user-contributed content, to function on a variety of mobile platforms.
"We set ambitious goals—four websites to design and launch in a short time period," said YAAB General Manager Ammar Kurabi. "Drupal was a great starting point for bringing news to the mobile web."
YAAB (which stands for Yet Another Amazing Business) was founded in March 2012. To meet the ambitious time constraints for designing and launching its four news sites—each uniquely branded and targeted to varying audiences—YAAB selected Drupal for its modular structure. The open-source application makes it easy to add key elements such as blogs, user forums, and micro-sites. Drupal also enables YAAB to aggregate stories from other news sources as needed.
"With Drupal's customization options, we can organize, manage, and publish our content with ease," Kurabi said. "What's more, Drupal's state-of-the-art platform supports the latest web technologies."
For a secure hosting provider, YAAB turned to Acquia Cloud. The Drupal- ready platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offers a trusted environment for YAAB to test its websites along with best-in-class technical support. If YAAB gets stuck on a technical issue, Acquia professional support is available to work with developers to fix any problems.
"We received excellent advice from Acquia in terms of developing our site architecture," Kurabi said. "Acquia Cloud simplifies the deployment and management of our websites and enables us to achieve success in our Drupal application lifecycle management."
To enhance the security of its sites and stay up-to-speed with Drupal best practices, YAAB also subscribes to Acquia Network, a comprehensive suite that includes utilities to monitor site performance and check site health, along with a knowledge base and online training tools. This way, YAAB can ensure its websites are always operating in optimal condition.
With Acquia Cloud in place, YAAB was able to meet its deadline for launching Yakhabar.com. The first of four sites, Yakhabar.com features humorous commentary from its member community on current events, sports, and politics. With the launch of its Yakhabar complete, YAAB is currently working on a social network for Arab women, a travel and tourism site, and a pan-Arab Citizen- Journalism news portal.
Because Acquia Cloud guarantees 99.95 percent uptime for enterprise customers, YAAB never has to worry about its sites going down. The open-cloud platform also gives YAAB assurance that increased traffic won't negatively affect site performance. Should a spike in user traffic occur—a common situation in the news world—Acquia can immediately provision additional cloud resources to ensure more hardware to avert the problem.
"Acquia Cloud takes over the headache of monitoring our infrastructure, reducing our total cost of ownership," Kurabi said.

Montezuma-Cortez rallied in the second half to turn back the Bayfield High School boys basketball team 64-48 on Tuesday night in Bayfield.
The Wolverines led 30-29 after a solid first half, according to BHS head coach Bill Hesford.
�We were feeling pretty good then. But we didn�t come out ready to play in the second half,� Hesford said. �Cortez played well. They shot the ball extremely well.�
Tyler Kerr led BHS with 13 points and 13 rebounds, most coming in the first half. Geoff Pope added 11 points for the BHS boys (0-5).
Preston Hardy added eight pionts.
�We threw the ball away too many times in the second half,� Hesford said, adding that the Wolverines are eager to get back in action Thursday at the Rumble in the Jungle Tournament in Aztec.

Americana singer/songwriter Kevin Welch left his Oklahoma home at age 17 to pursue a life in music, settling in Nashville in 1978 after years of traveling. He soon signed on as a staff writer at Sony/Tree,...more
These are live recordings from Kieran Kane's joint appearances with fellow country-folk songwriter (and fellow Dead Reckoning artist) Kevin Welch in Melbourne, Australia, on November 12 and November 13 of 1999. For these shows, the pair played unaccompanied, using just a bass and a guitar. Sometimes harmonizing, sometimes letting one or the other sing solo, they ran through 15 songs, mostly original material composed by Kane and Welch separately, although there are covers of John Hiatt's "Train to Birmingham" and Hank Williams' "Ramblin' Man." There's an informal, playing-before-friends feel to the performances, on tunes that are mostly good-natured and easygoing, even if songs like Kane's "Table Top Dancer" get into something a little darker. Low-key country-folk, suited for Sunday morning tea.

Pseudotumor cerebri (SOO-doe-too-mur SER-uh-bry) occurs when the pressure inside your skull (intracranial pressure) increases for no obvious reason.
Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor, but no tumor is present. Pseudotumor cerebri can occur in children and adults, but it's most common in obese women of childbearing age.
When no underlying cause for the increased intracranial pressure can be discovered, pseudotumor cerebri may also be called idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
The increased intracranial pressure associated with pseudotumor cerebri can cause swelling of the optic nerve and result in vision loss. Medications often can reduce this pressure, but in some cases, surgery is necessary.
Pseudotumor cerebri signs and symptoms may include:
The exact cause of pseudotumor cerebri in most individuals is unknown, but it may be linked to an excess amount of cerebrospinal fluid within the bony confines of your skull.
Your brain and spinal cord are surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which acts like a cushion to protect these vital tissues from injury. This fluid is produced in the brain and eventually is absorbed into the bloodstream. The increased intracranial pressure of pseudotumor cerebri may be a result of a problem in this absorption process.
In general, your intracranial pressure increases when the contents of your skull exceed its capacity. For example, a brain tumor generally increases your intracranial pressure because there's no room for the tumor. The same thing happens if your brain swells or if you have too much cerebrospinal fluid.
Several studies indicate that many people with pseudotumor cerebri have a narrowing (stenosis) in two large sinuses in the brain (transverse sinuses). Studies are determining whether this is an effect or a cause of the condition.
The following factors have been associated with pseudotumor cerebri:
Obesity has been associated with pseudotumor cerebri, which occurs in 1 to 2 people in 100,000. About 4 to 21 obese women in 100,000 develop the condition. Obese women under the age of 44 are more likely to develop the disorder.
Substances that have been linked to pseudotumor cerebri include:
Other medications may be associated with pseudotumor cerebri, but further research is needed.
The following conditions and diseases have been linked to pseudotumor cerebri:
Some people with pseudotumor cerebri experience progressively worsening vision and may eventually become blind.
Even if your symptoms have resolved, they can recur months or even years later.
Though you might first discuss your symptoms with your family doctor, he or she may refer you to a doctor trained in brain and nervous system conditions (neurologist) or eye conditions (ophthalmologist) for further evaluation.
To get the most from your appointment, it's a good idea to prepare. Here's some information to help you.
Preparing a list of questions to ask your doctor will help you make the most of your time together. For pseudotumor cerebri, some questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions that arise during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:
To diagnose your condition, your doctor will review your symptoms and medical history, conduct a physical examination and order several tests.
A doctor trained in eye conditions (ophthalmologist) may conduct an eye examination.
If pseudotumor cerebri is suspected, your eye doctor will look for a distinctive type of swelling affecting the optic nerve, called papilledema, in the back of your eye.
You'll also undergo a visual fields test to see if there are any blind spots in your vision besides your so-called normal blind spot in each eye where the optic nerve enters the retina.
Your doctor may order an MRI or CT scan. These tests can rule out other problems that can cause similar symptoms, such as brain tumors and blood clots.
Your doctor may order a lumbar puncture to measure the pressure inside your skull, as well as your glucose and protein levels.
In this test, a specialist inserts a needle between two vertebrae in your lower back and removes a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid for testing in the laboratory.
The goal of pseudotumor cerebri treatment is to improve your symptoms and keep your eyesight from worsening. Your doctor may prescribe medications to control your symptoms.
If you're obese, your doctor will recommend weight loss. You may work with a dietitian to help with your weight-loss goals. Losing weight may improve your symptoms. Some people who are morbidly obese may benefit from weight-loss programs or gastric surgery to lose weight.
If your vision worsens, surgery to reduce the pressure around your optic nerve or to decrease the intracranial pressure may be necessary. Once you've had pseudotumor cerebri, you should have your vision checked regularly.
Glaucoma drugs. One of the first drugs usually tried is acetazolamide (Diamox), a glaucoma drug. This medication may reduce the production of cerebrospinal fluid. Also, it has been shown to improve symptoms in 47 to 67 percent of people.
Possible side effects include stomach upset, fatigue, tingling of fingers, toes and mouth, and kidney stones.
Optic nerve sheath fenestration. In this procedure, a surgeon cuts a window into the membrane that surrounds the optic nerve. This allows excess cerebrospinal fluid to escape.
Vision stabilizes or improves in most cases. Most people who have this procedure done on one eye notice a benefit for both eyes. However, this surgery isn't always successful and may even increase vision problems.
Spinal fluid shunt. In another type of surgery, your doctor inserts a long, thin tube (shunt) into your brain or lower spine to help drain away excess cerebrospinal fluid.
The tubing is burrowed under your skin to your abdomen, where the shunt discharges the excess fluid. Symptoms may improve for some people who undergo this procedure.
However, shunts can become clogged and often require additional surgeries to keep them working properly. Complications can include low-pressure headaches and infections.
This procedure is generally only a treatment option if other treatments haven't relieved your condition.
Obesity dramatically increases a young woman's risk of pseudotumor cerebri. In fact, even in women who aren't obese a moderate amount of weight gain may increase the risk.
Losing extra pounds and maintaining a healthy weight may help reduce your chances of developing this potentially sight-stealing disorder.

WHEW!!!! I'm finally seeing the light at the end of a LONG shoulder surgery tunnel. It was about what they told me it would be. Painful with an extended recovery period. And they were right. They "they" I refer to are the rock solid health pros at the U.W. Man, they know their stuff. And they never once called me a big baby, although at times I fear I acted like one. It's not to say I'm through this. The normal recovery time for what I had done is about six months. Meaning I'll have to put off trying to qualify for the PGA tour until next year. No kayaking this summer either. I was able to get my garden in single handedly. And I mean that literally. Actually I have to thank my two kids....BJ and Lizzy for all their help in the usual yard chores that come with spring. And without a big helping hand from my friend Steve, the garden thing would never have happened. Sign me, rehabbing.

She's beautiful, stylish and fun, but when Lauren Conrad throws a party, it's actually her rescue dogs, Chloe and Fitz, who end up stealing the scene.
"They get thrilled when I have people over because they get so much attention," the fashion expert, 27, told PEOPLE at a launch event for Malibu Island Spiced Rum in New York on May 7. "They're the belles of the ball," she said, before humorously wondering about new addition Fitz, "What's a boy belle of the ball?"
But while she described her pooches as "sweet," not everything is perfect at Casa Conrad since the arrival of Fitz, whom the former MTV star dogshamed in November for chewing on one of her shoes.
"They have a walker who takes them for two hours a day just to make sure they get enough exercise, so Fitz comes home every day with a cloud of dirt around him. Literally, like every other night, this dog gets a bath because he is just the dirtiest dog," she said.
"If you pat him on the back, a little puff of dirt comes up. It's adorable until he's on your light-colored sofa, and you're like, 'Nooo!'"
Luckily for the furball, there are no hard feelings between him and his owner.
"He's so cute," said Conrad, "so it doesn't really matter."

State should let teachers do what they do best: teach
April 9, 2013
To their credit, West Virginia legislators have made improving public schools a top priority during their 60-day regular session. In addition to Gov....
If liberals would keep their "propaganda" and lies out of the schools, maybe the teachers could actually spend time teaching on the SUBJECT instead of following liberal protocol to "indoctrinate" the kids with liberal BS so they could 'guarantee' themselves another generation of total idiots.

All my kids knew how to read before they entered kindergarten.I personally took care of that as my mother did for me.I want a history teacher to be a history teacher not a political science teacher or a political philosophy teacher.Just a history teacher.As it is the history books now are so full of holes and missing information as to be laughable if it where not for my children's education.I sent my last child out the door to collage 7 years ago.And they all graduated with honors from high school and collage.And all have good jobs in there field of endeavors.

first off, please keep your "examples" prudent to the subject, and second, when my kids were in school, i made sure that both my kids did their school work, i helped them to read, i certainly didnt leave that responsibility to the teacher. you guys want to drop your kids off and expect the person you are saying dont do anything, teach your kid. and then complain. not all parents treat school like daycare, take some responsibility for your own kids.

So, "WhatMeWorry," based on your statement, if a structural engineer designs a building and shortly after the building is constructed, it collapses, it's not the structural engineers fault, it's the client's fault??? The kind and type of explanation that you've posted reflects what wrong with our education system--it's always somebody else's fault and in your view, it's always the parent's fault. I certainly hope that you are not a teacher, but I suspect that you are.

It would be refreshing if a majority of the teachers utilized the 75% to actually teach. If Johnny, who has no special needs can't read functionally when he graduates, what would one expect of the special needs students?

UFC 129: St-Pierre vs. Shields is finally here...well, not quite, but close enough.
UFC Welterweight Champion Georges "Rush" St-Pierre defends his title from the legitimate challenge posed by No. 1 contender, Jake Shields in less than 10 hours. That means the it's officially Fight Day, two of the more glorious words in the English language for fight fans.
The one major drawback to being an aficionado of the combat sports is the downtime in between events showcasing the best of the best. There is a whole lotta waiting involved.
If Tom's right, then the hardest part is over—the St-Pierre/Shields co-main event is on the horizon and actual hostilities are right around the corner.
And that's just the biggest cherry on the sundae.
We've also got UFC Featherweight Champion Jose "Junior" Aldo battling dangerous striker Mark "The Machine" Hominick, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machica vs. Randy "The Natural" Couture at light heavyweight in what has been billed as the Natural's final fight, and a slew of other intriguing matchups. The Rogers Centre will host the likes of Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko, Ben "Smooth" Henderson, Nate Diaz and Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger in addition to all the MMA glitterati already mentioned.
It should be a great card for Ontario's first UFC event.
Check back for live results and reactions as the action unfolds, beginning at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT on Facebook.

Secretin stimulation test is a test that measures the ability of the pancreas to respond to secretin. Secretin is a hormone secreted by the small intestines in the presence of partially digested food from the stomach; this hormone normally stimulates the pancreas to secrete a fluid with a high concentration of bicarbonate. This fluid neutralizes the acidity from the stomach that is necessary for a number of enzymes to function in the breakdown and absorption of food. In order to perform the test a tube is passed through the nose into the stomach then into the duodenum. Secretin is administered and the contents of the duodenal secretions are aspirated and analyzed over a period of about 2 hours. People with diseases involving the pancreas (for example chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer) may have abnormal pancreatic function.

Regional Transit officials said light-rail service in Folsom will remain disrupted until Thursday as crews repair damage done to light-rail power lines.
A fallen oak tree caused the extensive damage during Sunday morning's storm.
Regional Transit officials said the damage was worse than originally thought.
In the meantime, shuttle buses will provide service to and from historic Folsom, Glenn, Iron Point and the Hazel light-rail station through Wednesday.
Service is expected to resume Thursday morning.
Service on the gold line from the Hazel Station to downtown Sacramento, and on the blue line and the green lines, are not affected, Regional Transit officials said.
The large tree has been removed by Regional Transit, and repairs are being made to fix the damage.

Ever since he left Somalia at
2 years old, Khalid Mohamed had never lived in a country where he belonged as a citizen.
Mohamed, 22, moved to Kenya at 2 years old and to Greeley at 18.
But as of May, Mohamed is an American. On Tuesday, he stood in a long line at the University of Northern Colorado to vote for the first time in his life.
"It was great," Mohamed said of his first voting experience, which included an "I voted" sticker proudly displayed on his shirt for the rest of the day. The UNC senior said he voted for the Libertarian candidate — Gary Johnson — for president.
"I know people are like, you are just throwing away your vote," Mohamed said. "But I am like, that's democracy. I can vote for whoever I want."
Many in the U.S. may remember Tuesday's presidential election as a divisive, bitter contest that seemed to drag on forever. Even in the aftermath of the election, winning and losing campaigns have wallowed over scorched earth.
But for Mohamed, like many in Greeley's small population of immigrants and refugees, the elections were a far cry from the corruption and political violence they experienced in their home countries.
In Somalia, September marked the first time the country had any kind of election in two decades.
"Even though it would sometimes get ugly, people would not take it to the streets, you know," Mohamed said of the U.S. election. "You have a conversation with your friend, and it's over. No one is forcing you to make your choice. It's your own choice."
Many of Greeley's immigrants and refugees echoed Mohamed's comments. Those who couldn't vote still relished the opportunity to speak openly about their thoughts.
Paul Slayton, a citizenship teacher at the Greeley Refugee Center, said his students often laugh about what they can do here that they couldn't in their home countries — Somalia, Burundi, Tanzania and Mexico — such as cast anonymous ballots and speak freely about the candidates.
Slayton held a mock election on Tuesday for his students, who are not yet U.S. citizens.
Out of 12 ballots, 11 votes were cast for President Barack Obama, and one student voted for Mitt Romney.
In class on Thursday, they discussed their choices.
Bortoldo Rodriguez, 44, of Mexico, said he liked Romney as a candidate. Obama had allowed too much spending — something that maybe Romney could have stopped, Rodriguez said.
Malyun Awale, 24, of Somalia, said she supported Obama because she felt he would help more people. For example, he wants everyone in the nation to have access to health insurance, she said.
"America is all same, is equal," Awale said. She said she felt Romney represented that ideal less because he supported wealthy citizens.
Rodriguez said he disagreed, and apologized to those in the room who supported Obama. His classmates shook their heads and smiled.
"That is your choice," Awale said.
In Nigeria, it's a different story, said Ibrahim Danladi, a 22-year-old student of international affairs at UNC.
Danladi said in an email that his country holds "pseudo elections."
"The last time me and my family went to vote, the voting center was empty and we asked the military what is going on. This is what they told us: 'We voted for you people already,' " Danladi said. "Things in the U.S. isn't perfect, like I don't like the idea of having only two major parties. In a true democracy, there should be multiple parties like in Germany."
But definitely, things here are better, he said.
Zamzam Abdulahi, 24, of Ethiopia, became a citizen of the United States in April.
In her home country, she said there is often violence surrounding the elections.
"I like to vote for the president," said Abdulahi, who was still smiling from her accomplishment days after the election. "It was really easy."
Abdulahi, who took citizenship classes at Right to Read Weld County, said she voted for Obama because he seems to speak to all Americans, he has four years of experience and he would be the better leader for immigrants and refugees.
Danladi said he preferred Obama as a candidate because Romney's campaign changed so much from the primaries and because his foreign policy seemed to resemble that of President George W. Bush's.
"Obama is a passive politician. He has a heart for America but he lets Congress get into his way," Danladi said. "They are all liars but he is more honest than Romney and he has a heart for the underprivileged."
Danladi also said he "loved the ads."
"The ads where crucial because they revealed the weaknesses of the candidates and also informed the public of what the candidates were doing before the campaign started," he said.
Ragea Alqahtani, 33, a UNC exchange student from Saudi Arabia, said he didn't get sick of the political ads, either.
"For anyone from the Middle East, it's really a hot place of politics," Alqahtani said. "And anyone from those countries, he will care about political issues."
Alqahtani said if he were a citizen, he would have voted for Obama.
"Romney had a good project when talking about creating 7 million jobs, but I think he did not link to Americans' minds like Obama," he said. "Romney, if he won, he would do just as well. I believe anyone who would lead, would lead his nation to be the best."
Voting as one
Slayton said he wasn't sure what influenced his students to vote one way or another. He said his students are still in the process of learning English, so they may not have caught the nuances in political ads.
In that sense, Obama could have been the class' popular candidate because his name is easier to pronounce and to remember, Slayton said.
Regardless, the votes of Slayton's class mirror what political analysts across the nation have attributed to Obama's victory.
Women, black and Latino votes have created a new majority, they say.
Dongwoo Lee, 23, a UNC exchange student from South Korea, said that was his favorite part of the election.
"I was really impressed by the results," Lee said. "I saw the real meaning of democracy, because the minority made up their power by becoming one."
Transitioning to that idea is sometimes tough for Somali students, Slayton said. Somalian men, for example, dominate in their home societies, and at times they dominate classroom dynamics, as well.
When that happens, Slayton said he must remind his class that everyone has a right to make his or her voice heard.
Olivia Garcia, 47, of Mexico, went a step further this election. Garcia, who moved to Greeley from El Paso, Texas, said it was her first time voting in Weld County — an experience that revived her inner political activist.
"This county is very interesting because it is so organized. I like the interest," Garcia said. She said the political energy in Colorado, largely because it is a swing state, inspired her to volunteer for the Democratic Party, using her Spanish to communicate in mostly Latino neighborhoods.
Garcia said she voted early and rejoiced when her son turned 18 this October, just in time to register to vote in his first election.
Mohamed said when he went to cast his first vote at UNC, he was a little nervous.
His parents and siblings remain in Kenya, where they moved to escape the violence in Somalia. Mohamed said he calls them on the weekends, and he talked to them after he voted.
"I told my mom that I voted for the first time," and the whole family said congratulations," Mohamed said. "They're all happy for me."
I know people are like, you are just throwing away your vote. But I am like, that's democracy. I can vote for whoever I want.
— Khalid Mohamed, UNC senior and new U.S. citizen

Sky SkyQ
The UK broadcaster has debuted a 4K-ready upgrade to its set-top box, which also sports a new interface and the power to watch recorded TV on your tablet.
Pricing not available
Pure Avalon 300R Connect
Despite its modern menus and integrated Wi-Fi, the Pure Avalon 300R's paltry support for catch-up TV services and lack of catch-up integration in its EPG make it feel like a new riff on old technology. Unfortunately it's not quite in step with the likes of YouView's set-top box, which signalled a new dawn for Freeview HD recorders.
Typical price: £350.00
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Freesat+ HD with free time
The Humax HDR-1000S Freesat+ HD box with free time impresses with its easy-to-use interface and strong recording features. The backwards-in-time EPG works well but the on-demand services are not as tightly integrated as on YouView. It needs more service providers to come on board and I'd like to see the EPG populate faster and playback of on-demand programmes to start up quicker.
Typical price: £280.00
Visit manufacturer site for details.
It's taken an age to arrive, but the Humax DTR-T1000 shows that YouView was worth the wait. Its excellent user interface seamlessly combines on-demand and broadcast TV, while digital TV recording features are first class. It's pricey and is missing a few bells and whistles that would make it perfect, but it's still easy to recommend.
Typical price: £300.00
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Humax PVR-9150T
The Humax PVR-9150T is a no-frills, standard-definition Freeview recorder for those still enslaved by Scart. It's dull, but it's quiet and it does what it says on the tin.
Typical price: £120.00
Visit manufacturer site for details.
TVonics DTR-Z500HD
The TVonics DTR-Z500HD is a fast and funky Freeview HD digital recorder. Supremely easy to use, it's an ideal choice if you're upgrading from analogue TV. While there are some standard-definition recording-quality issues, its hi-def performance is terrific.
Typical price: £225.00
Virgin Media TiVo
TiVo is a must-have upgrade if you currently get your TV through Virgin Media and want to continue doing so, or if you want the most powerful PVR on the market. For everyone else, there's still much work to be done on the software before we can recommend it as a reason to switch TV providers.
Typical price: £100.00
Sharp TUT2HR32
Sharp's TUT2HR32 Freeview+HD recorder ticks the right boxes, with twin HD tuners, a 320GB hard drive and bright, colourful interface. Unfortunately, it also generates more fan noise than a Take That concert.
Typical price: £235.00
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Toshiba HDR5010
Toshiba's HDR5010 does everything a Freeview HD digital TV recorder should do, without fuss or fanfare. It's intuitive to use, has a generous hard drive and is well priced at around £200. It's just the ticket if you want a box to record dramas, not create them.
Typical price: £190.00
Visit manufacturer site for details.
Goodmans GDB300HD
The Goodmans GDB300HD is a good Freeview HD box that does the job for a pretty small sum of money. At around £70, we think it represents a great deal.
Typical price: £70.00

About Walgreens
Walgreens started out as a small family owned corner pharmacy on the South Side of Chicago in 1901.Charles R. Walgreen Sr. mixed and marketed his own brand of drugs at the pharmacy to ensure quality and low prices for his customers. By 1919, Walgreens had expanded to include a chain of 20 stores. During Prohibition when many merchants were losing money on the alcohol band, Walgreens was having great financial success because prescription whiskey was still legal – and they were the only stores that carried it.
By 1930, Walgreens boasted nearly 400 stores across four states and annual sales of over $4 million. Over the years, the Walgreens empire continued to grow as the company changed hands within the family many times. By the 1950s, Walgreens revolutionized the way consumers shopped by introducing barcode scanning and self-serve checkout lines.
Between 1984 and 1994, Walgreens opened a staggering 1,000 additional stores. In 1999, the company launched their website and online pharmacy and celebrated the opening of their 3,000th store the next year. Today, the Walgreens Empire includes Walgreens had 8,206 stores across the US. The Walgreens brand also operates several well-known Internet pharmacy brands, such as Beauty.com, Drugstore.com and VisionDirect.com.

This post about "a little white lie in salary negotiation [3]" sparked a bit of a heated debate in the Daily Worth community (I discovered it through a post on the New York Times Bucks blog [4]). The original post said:
I'd found a position I liked and applied for it. The recruiter asked for my current salary. Let's just say I inflated the figure—and told her I was earning $5,000 more than I was. ("Everyone does that," a successful colleague had told me. "Just don't puff it up too much, so that figure seems realistic.")
Some people didn't take kindly to her advice about inflating your previous salary.
I don't think it's lying. I think it's acceptable to lie about your previous salary if you are pushed to give a hard number. I also don't think it's appropriate for a recruiter or a prospective employer to ask what you earned at your last job. They have assigned a dollar value to you and they should base their compensation on that value, not on what your previous employer paid you. When you reveal what you earned at your last job, they make take that into consideration when they shouldn't.
The right thing to do is to decline to answer but if I were pushed for a response, I'd give a range. If pushed for a single number (and I'd find this very inappropriate but sometimes you have to do what you have to do), I'd puff up the salary such that I'd be at most 10% away from what I wanted to earn.
This benefits both sides. First, either they decide I'm worth it or I'm not, in which case they will extend an offer or they won't. Second, I don't get an offer I won't take even with a bump because of negotiation. We all save time and we all walk away happy. Why tell them you earn $40,000 if you won't accept a job offer for $44,000? Or $50,000? It's a waste of everyone's time.
What do you think? Is lying/puffing OK or unacceptable?

MARTINSBURG - A pilot and his passenger were hurt Saturday when the pilot lost control of his experimental aircraft, which turned upside down upon landing at the Altoona-Blair County Airport.
The pilot, believed to be aircraft owner Charles J. Hagerty of Goode, Va., and his passenger were transported by ambulance to Nason Hospital, Roaring Spring, for treatment of minor injuries.
The Martinsburg Volunteer Fire Department and DeGol Aviation personnel assisted in the efforts to contain the aircraft's fuel and used ropes to pull the single-engine aircraft upright, then onto its wheels.

Airport workers move plane that flipped while landing
"We think the plane was landing when its front landing gear doubled back," Martinsburg Volunteer Fire Chief Randy Acker said Saturday. "It went off the macadam and dug into the grass."
The crash occurred shortly after 1 p.m., and its cause will be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Airport personnel said they believed the couple were expected to land at the airport and that people had been waiting for them.

Workers move a plane that crashed Saturday afternoon at the Altoona-Blair County Airport in Martinsburg.
After the pilot and his passenger got out of the aircraft, Acker said firefighters set up a foam blanket around the wreckage to contain the vapors of leaking fuel.
"We had the airport close the north/south runway for a while," Acker said, "But planes could still land on the east/west runway."
Altoona-Blair County Airport Authority Chairman Lanny Ross, who was at the airport Saturday, said he heard "quite a few" approaching planes while the firefighters were working. As soon as the crashed aircraft was towed from the runway to the DeGol Aviation hangar, two planes landed.

Get started with open source without writing any code
10 ways to get started with open source
My experience tells me there are a lot of people interested in trying open source, but they don't know where to start. And the perception that you have to write code to contribute to is a barrier to that curiosity. So, I've outlined 10 ways that anyone can get started with open source—no code writing involved.
I welcome your ideas and additions, there are without a doubt more than 10 ways—let's get started.
10 ways to start using open source
- Use open source for everyday productivity. Download and install a free web browser, email client, or office and productivity suite—no matter what platform you're on. This is one of the easiest ways to start using open source software. I recommend Firefox for web browsing and Thunderbird for email. Use Libre Office for word documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and replace Microsoft Office for free! I call these the gateway apps, because once you start using these, you'll be turned on to other open source tools (and won't want to go back).
- Join an open source project. I know that joining a project can be scary, but contributors from all experience levels are welcome. Open source communities use project managers, designers, writers, marketers, and many other types of skills to get their work done. If you'd like to introduce students to open source, here's a great way to get started. You never know, getting involved and actively participating in an open source project could boost your resume and land you a job.
- Read a book about open source. Here are a few to look into: Open Advice, Coding Freedom, The Power of Open, or one of our eBooks.
- Learn how to create and nurture communities of contributors. Flip through the online book, The Open Source Way, and then share your new knowledge by starting a community or becoming a part of an existing one.
- Start using Creative Commons. Before you create your next work of art, photography, writing, or music, use copyleft instead of copyright. By using Creative Commons, you can share your work with the world. First, you'll need to choose which license is right for you, then you may be interested in seeing how Creative Commons is used in different areas such as government, business, and journalism.
- Start exploring. Check out the OpenROV project and explore the ocean or a local lake. If you don't want to get wet, put on a space suit and see what it's like to explore Mars.
- DIY and create something. Tiny Linux boards, like Raspberry Pi, are doing some amazing things. Check out other creative hardware boards like Makey Makey or a variety of electronics from SparkFUN, If you're into 3D printing, be sure to see how you can use Inkscape.
- Get creative. Replace PhotoShop with the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), InDesign with Scribus, or use other tools like MyPaint, Inskape, Audacity, and Blender. If any of these sound interesting, watch our seven-minute tour of open source creative tools. Then see what was big with design tools in 2012. Be sure to check out other tools like Dream Studio, TuxPaint, and KDEnlive for your creative needs.
- Learn to program. Notice I didn't say "learn to write code." Scratch comes installed on some Raspberry Pi's and is being used to teach kids how to program. I wish I had this when I was learning computer programming in college.
- Take a course. The OpenCourseWare movement, lead by MITOCW, is changing how people learn. Get started by watching this webcast on MIT OpenCourseWare. There is so much open source happening in the education field: Moodle and school management software for teachers and students are a couple of the many great resources.
Fact is, there are so many ways to get started with open source. Do you remember how you got started? Share your story about your first open source experience or how you introduced someone to open source.

Great tip on OSL, following them now on Twitter, thanks Jason. I've got this Open Source Lab in my head for a few years now, specifically for governments.
Related to this post: the Joomla project doing the same for their project, a top 10 for members on how to help: http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-sept-2011/item/561-Community-inv....
This article is a great tool for promoting the use of open source. I personally have been using apps like GIMP, OpenOffice, Bluefish, Mozilla and now Firefox, T-Bird for over a decade. (Some of the names or projects have changed over time, of course.) I've edited many MS Office documents using OpenOffice (now I use LibreOffice) for one of the Fortune 100 companies and nobody knew. And I mean I did serious rewrites, amendments, and complete overhauls of Word docs, PowerPoints, Excel docs because everything I was given essentially was a draft. And I did that for 10 years and always received glowing comments re the quality of my work.
The bottom line is "Open Source works."
Great article, Jason. I've already shared it with several people.
Great post Jason - I'd only add that, in my opinion, one of the seminal books on working with and producing OSS was written by Karl Fogel - 'Producing OSS Software': http://producingoss.com/
He's about to write an updated version, but the original is still a great read.
Thanks for posting this. 'Sounds silly but, back in college a few years ago, I remember switching from Blackboard to Moodle, and I never knew that Moodle (nor Audacity) were open source projects! It explains a lot (not all in the negative way), and makes sense now :P It's interesting, too, because none of the professors ever stopped to mention that. Anyways, thanks!

China is blocking the import of American films, said MPAA
CEO and Chairman Dan Glickman in an official statement released last week.
"Although we have not received official confirmation of such
a ban from the Chinese Government or China Film, the indicators are strong that
our information is correct," read the statement. "If such action has been taken
… it would represent an enormous step backwards in terms of China's efforts to develop
a strong … and legitimate film exhibition and distribution market."
In a move that some suspect is retaliation for a recent U.S.-filed
WTO complaint over China's alarmingly high piracy rate, the Chinese
government appears to have stopped granting import requests to American
filmmakers -- of which it normally allows for about 20 movies per year. According
to one anonymous Hollywood executive speaking
to The New York Times, the
Chinese government became suddenly uncooperative; filmmakers' movie import requests
for early next year have thus far been ignored, delayed, or come back denied.
"We are working with top officials in the US government,
including the Treasury Secretary, as well as the Trade Representative and
Secretary of Commerce, both of whom are in China at the moment," said Glickman.
"If these reports are true, it is unacceptable that China has taken this action
and we will bring all our resources and leverage to bear to address this
A spokeswoman from the Chinese State Administration of
Radio, Film, and Television, declined to comment on the so-called ban, noting
that if such a ban was in place it would have been officially announced on the
Administration's web site.
American filmmakers, many of whom are betting heavily on the growing the Chinese market, say China's restrictive stance on
American movies is a direct contributor to the country's high piracy rate. The previous
20-movie limit is "a very low number to begin with," said
U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab, "and we believe the low number
contributes to the problems [we] have in intellectual property rights
A Chinese ban on American movies "would be very serious
indeed," said Schwab, who at the time was at a Strategic Economic Dialogue
meeting outside Beijing. "We have spoken forcefully to our Chinese hosts."

|Road Safety Tips for Teenaged Drivers

Tips for Safe Summer Driving
Summer is the season of vacation and road trips. If you plan on spending time in the car this summer, it is important to be aware of electrical safety risks you may encounter on the road.
If you are driving after a storm, keep away from downed power poles, stray power lines, and damaged electric equipment. Downed and damaged electric equipment can still be charged with electric energy. If you come in contact with the equipment you could receive a severe shock.
Car accidents are another occasion when people may come in contact with electricity. If you are in a car accident with a power pole, do not leave the car until utility professionals tell you it is safe. After a car accident, it may be instinctive to flee the car as quickly as possible. However, if you are in an accident with a power pole, inside the car is probably the safest place.
If the power line involved in the accident is still energized and you step outside, your body becomes the path for that electricity and electrocution is the tragic result. Even if a power line has landed on the ground, there is still the potential for the area near your car to be energized. Stay inside the vehicle unless there's fire or imminent risk of fire.
If you must get out because of a fire, jump clear of the vehicle without touching it and the ground at the same time. Then hop with feet together, this way there will not be a voltage difference between your two feet, which would give electricity the chance to flow through your body.
Several years ago, a group of four Indiana teenagers were in an accident with a power pole. Fortunately, they had seen a demonstration about the dangers of electricity in car accidents earlier that week at their school. Not only did the teenagers know to stay in the car, they warned people who approached the car to stay far away. A video of their story is available on the Safe Electricity website.
Safe Electricity wishes you safety in all your travels this summer.

Nicki Minaj took home her fifth straight BET Award for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist on Sunday night, but it's her impassioned acceptance speech that really stole the show.
"You guys, this is always very, very emotional for me because this is my fifth year winning this award and I don't take it for granted, I really don't," she said. "I thank God that I've been placed in a position to do something and represent women in a culture that is so male-driven."
The 31-year-old MC then turned on the sass, flipping her hair as she levied what many are calling a diss at her fellow nominee Iggy Azalea – though she insisted she was throwing "no shade."
"My point is, what I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is, that when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it," she told the crowd.
The "Pills n Potions" rapper also surprised the audience with a confession, admitting she found herself close to death but didn't want to call an ambulance out of fear she'd wind up on gossip website TMZ.
"And it made me realize, I don't care what anybody got to say. I'm going to do me," she said. "And I hope and pray that BET continues to honor authenticity."
For the full clip of Minaj's electric speech, watch the video below.

The act itself isn't so bad. It's the having to look at how many of those carefully planned outfits you didn't wear during the warm season.
Even more frightening when you find yourself putting them into storage "for next year." You know what else is really scary about Halloween? How quickly you break your resolve "not to eat any Trick or Treat candy." Somewhere around Labor Day you find yourself purchasing a bag of mini (right) Almond Joys knowing everyone in your household hates coconut.
You know what else is really scary about Halloween? Its arrival coincides with the year's first snowfall, and suddenly you decide you must bake, even if it just scoops from a huge tub of Nestle's Cookie Dough. (Killer.) Why? Because you know with your Burka line of winter coats you can get away with a few more pounds.
That is, until it starts all over again next summer. And you know the only thing really scary about those Halloween movies? Jamie Lee Curtis looks better now than she did 30 years ago. This is a woman who probably swaps out her annual summer clothes because she was so active they got too big for her.
