|Light Winter
Date Climbed: Jan 7, 2012
|Took advantage of a light start to winter with a group of 7 up the standard route from Winfield. Typically the winter maintenance on the road ends 8 mile below this point, so what is normally a 26 mile winter hike was only 10. Can't complain about that! Some new snow might change the ability to drive the road soon, recommend 4WD due to snowpack/icy spots.

Chrissy Morello went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and Meredith Owen picked up her 21st win of the season as Stetson defeated visiting Jacksonville 8-3 in an Atlantic Sun Conference game at Patricia Wilson Field.
The Hatters (33-11, 16-7 A-Sun) played small ball with 10 singles and five stolen bases to remain in second place in the league standings. Stetson will need to win two of its final three games at UNF this week to capture a first-round bye in the A-Sun tournament.
"It was sad to know it was the seniors last home game," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "It was exciting to see Chrissy in her last at-bat get a hit, steal two bases and then score. Meredith got a strikeout on the last batter she faced. It was a good day."
Stetson scored two runs in the first inning and five in the second, then held off the Dolphins (20-29, 8-16) the rest of the way.
"You have to give Jacksonville a lot of credit," Griffin said. "Those kids come out and hit the ball. They are going to get their swings in, they are going to make good contact. I thought we played very good defense today and 'Mo' pitched a good game, but even with that said, they scored three runs."
Jessie TenBroeck and Morello gave Stetson a strong 1-2 punch at the top of the order Sunday. The duo combined to reach base seven times, steal five bases and score five runs.
Jessica Griffin added a two-run double and Amanda Grimaldo also drove in a pair to help lead the offense.
Owen (21-6) picked up her 65th career win in the circle, allowing five hits and three runs while striking out six. She did not walk a batter.
Victoria Brown suffered the loss for JU.
Stetson's three-game series at UNF begins Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Notes: Stetson's five stolen bases was a season-high. TenBroeck had three including one steal of third and Morello had two ... Shortstop Amanda Grimaldo turned a nifty double play in the second inning, diving for a ground ball near second, tapping the base with her glove, and getting up in time to throw the batter out at first ... Brittany Hawn extended her errorless streak to 24 games ... The Hatters tied a school-record for most A-Sun wins in a season with 16.

EAST LIVERPOOL - Despite losing their downtown locations inside of the Mezzanine Town Mall, several businesses have resolved to continue conducting business elsewhere.
Dave Marshall, owner of the Mezzanine Town Mall and Coffee Fusion, announced last Friday his business as well as the Mezzanine itself would be closing, leaving the other businesses housed there with no choice but to find another location from which to operate.
For many of the business owners, finding another location will take time, especially since collectively leasing space in the Mezzanine made for an ideal arrangement for many of the small businesses.
"It's going to take a while for all of us to find new locations because this was so much of a cooperative effort," said Carrol Walton, owner of Carrol's Corner Custom Framing. "None of us are big enough to rent a store ourselves so we're trying to find something we can share."
Despite the difficulty of reestablishing their business in a new location, Walton, like many business owners in the Mezzanine, have no intention of calling it quits, even if that means temporarily shutting down or operating out of the Mezzanine until they can find another location.
"We've been doing custom framing for 50 years and we know how it should be done," said Walton, noting she and other business owners have received calls from a small, but loyal client base wanting to know how they can still patronize them after the Mezzanine closes.
Linda Haustman of LJ Cline and Associates was fortunate enough to obtain a new location for her business not far from its previous location downtown. Haustman is currently doing business at 115 West 6th St., and says that after 23 years she has no intention of closing her doors.
"My business has had a long history in East Liverpool," said Haustman. " I plan to continue to comply with all the IRS' qualifications and even exceed what is needed as far as the IRS is concerned and do everything I can possibly do when it comes to accounting, payroll and taxes."
Other business owners have been less fortunate in terms of finding another location for their business but no less resilient. Katie Blake who owns "Kiddo's", a children's clothing store formerly housed within the Mezzanine, says she has not yet found another location for his business.In the meantime she says customers can reach her at 330-385-7700.
In fact, several businesses have temporarily closed until they can find a suitable new location.
The owners of Mitzi's Bookshelf, which specializes in new and used books of all kinds, are shutting down until they can find a new location, according to Walton.
Owner of the Mezzanine Trading Post, Aaron Hook says that business is on hold while he tends to other ventures. He hopes that in the future people will pay more attention to the downtown.
"This town has a lot of potential, but it seems to be neglected a lot," he said.
Dinah Carpenter, owner of Tee Party Inc., says she hopes to find a new location for her custom T-shirt business in downtown East Liverpool, but in the meantime she will continue to do business when and where she can. She will continue to be at Rogers Sale on Fridays in building B and continue to sell her hand-dyed T shirts online at teepartystore.com.
"If customers are local we're more than glad find somewhere to meet with them to save on shipping," said Carpenter.
Two business owners intend to make arrangements to temporarily stay at their current location inside the Mezzanine until they can find another location.
Rob McClain of Rob McClain's Downtown Styling and Gifts says he will remain at his current location for as long as 3-4 months while arrangements are made to move the business elsewhere. McClain noted the phone number for his business remains the same should any of his patrons want to reach him.
Jane McMillan, manager of the Mezzanine's flea market, says she will remain open for this week only.
The plans of Attorney Marian D. Davidson are yet known as calls to that business were not returned as of press time.

Feels like you just came here to rant. I'm usually 50/50 on these things. In this case, calling it disgusting and con men is a bit much. K-mart should really be above these sort of glitches as a corporation and no one is being deceptive in taking advantage of it.
You're usually 50/50 on these things? That means you're a flip-flop. I have my stance on it and I stand by it 100%. I just stand for what's right. Damn sure not a flip-flop.
Change ethnicity? You need an agenda, kid.

Paiute Cutthroat Trout (native)
Oncorhynchus clarkii seleniris
Silver King Creek, Carson-Iceberg Wilderness Area in Alpine County, is the native range of one of the rarest trout subspecies, the Paiute cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki seleniris. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been working towards the goal of protecting and restoring the Paiute cutthroat trout for over 50 years. Paiute cutthroat trout are closely related to the Lahontan cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi, and are distinguished by their almost complete lack of body spotting and iridescent purplish hue body coloration. It is the only western trout that consistently has no obvious spots on the body. Paiute trout have no body spots, but do have parr marks, which are occasionally seen even on adult fish. Parr marks are oval or oblong markings along the side of the body of most trout.

Antitrust, Multi-Dimensional Competition, and Innovation: Do We Have an Antitrust-Relevant Theory of Competition Now?
Joshua D. Wright
George Mason University - Antonin Scalia Law School, Faculty
August 28, 2009
George Mason Law & Economics Research Paper No. 09-44
REGULATING INNOVATION: COMPETITION POLICY AND PATENT LAW UNDER UNCERTAINTY, Forthcoming
Harold Demsetz once claimed that 'economics has no antitrust relevant theory of competition.' Demsetz offered this provocative statement as an introduction to an economic concept with critical implications for the antitrust enterprise: the multi-dimensional nature of competition. Competition does not take place upon a single margin, such as price competition, but several dimensions that are often inversely correlated such that a liability rule deterring one form of competition will result in more of another. This insight has important implications for the current policy debate concerning how to design antitrust liability standards for conduct involving both static product market competition and dynamic innovative activity. The primary purpose of this essay is to revisit Demsetz's broader challenge to antitrust regulation in the context of the frequently discussed tradeoffs between innovation and price competition. I summarize recent developments in our knowledge of the relationship between competition and innovation, highlighting the deficiencies that significantly constrain antitrust enforcers' abilities to confidently calculate inevitable welfare tradeoffs. I conclude by discussing policy implications that follow from these limitations.

He has proven himself to be an egregious goal scorer.... nobody gets as many wide-open nets as he does, but he always finds a way to miss. His goal yesterday was cool, but it was lucky, his initial backhand wasn't even on net.
He is good defensively, but for the amount we are paying him and the role he was supposed to play this season.... I'm pretty disappointed.... yes yes, I know EVERYONE's points are down, etc., but I wanted to see a whole lot more from Fil this year.

He looks to be all over the place when he's fumbling around with the puck out there. Falling down, getting back up, losing the puck, fighting back for it. Watch Datsyuk and Zetterberg when they have the puck. Much better balance and control. He's too wild.
The only other criticism I have is his shot, which isn't very good. He needs to work on his aim this offseason.
Still, he's been one of our best forwards lately. I don't expect him to become that much better than what he is now. People here have unrealistic expectations for him.
Posted 07 February 2010 - 07:11 PM
Plus, point streak! Can you believe what an offensive dynamo he is? I mean, 21 points in 32 games? I am amazed that he can combine this with his amazing defense (a respectable -7 this year, thank you very much!) and still manage to bring home ONLY, ONLY $3 M.
Nice guy, decent 3rd liner, and fan favorite perhaps bordering on bicuriosity for some.
Posted 07 February 2010 - 07:38 PM
Your thoughts on Val's play this season...
Val shows up for every game and especially so in the playoffs. I don't care if he hasn't reached a certain level of scoring, if the rest of the damn team had his attitude and work ethic this season we would all be holding hands and singing together with little to complain about. Heart, the kid has it and it's not the easiest thing to find in a player. Val is a keeper. Also, I think he would be a little less wild out there if the rest of the team was playing with as much hustle as they should and could.

Ru-dy. Ru-dy. Ru-dy!
If you'll let me, I'd like to make another movie reference. It's a bit more than a chant, though.
"Coach McGinty, what will it take for your team to come back in the 2nd half?"
And then, Shane "Footsteps" Filppula....err...Falco took the field.
In all seriousness, heart is nice, but if you don't care if one of your "top" forwards never reaches a certain level of scoring, you should be a fan of a beer league team. Although with Filppula.....all bets are off, as he and his followers live in Bizarro world. Maybe Bizarro Filppula would be worth his pay but people would hate him? Sorry, I'm a bit punchy. Enjoy your evening.
Posted 07 February 2010 - 08:04 PM
Filppula could finish with 40 points in 50 games (which is within reach if he plays on the second line) and you'd still say "SEE, FILPPULA WILL ONLY EVER SCORE 40 POINTS! OVERPAID"

SALEM - In another effort to keep up with user demands and technology, the Salem Public Library now has digital magazines available to patrons for their computers and mobile devices.
"There's no limit on how many patrons can access a magazine at the same time, no waiting list. You want it, we have it, you get it," Salem Public Library Director Brad Stephens said.
The library launched the new digital magazine service a week ago through a link on the library website at www.salem.lib.oh.us, without making any announcements, and people found it and tried it out. In the first week, about 200 digital magazines were checked out.

Salem Public Library Director Brad Stephens displays a free copy of the latest issue of Consumer Reports he downloaded to his iPad from the library's new digital magazine collection. The new service allows patrons access to a range of popular magazines on mobile devices and computers as soon as they hit the market, with no limits on the number of simultaneous copies that can be checked out by patrons. (Salem News photo by Mary Ann Greier)
Stephens said the people who found it have been very excited about the service. Just go to the library website, click on the button for Zinio, the company supplying the content, and follow the directions on the screen to download the content. Library users will need to enter their library card number and they'll also need to enter their email address and a password to check out a selection.
"We're the third library in Ohio to launch this and about the 20th in the country. This is something we have been waiting for and watching for someone to offer this type of service," Stephens said, noting it's a service in demand by patrons. "We jumped at the opportunity to be part of that."
Devices he mentioned included computers, iPads, iPhones, Kindle Fire and Android phones. For more detail on requirements, he said to visit the library website and click on the Zinio link. The library's initial collection includes about 50 different magazines, with about 20 of the top 25 magazines available.
Some of the titles include Consumer Reports, US magazine, Family Circle, Reader's Digest, Better Homes & Gardens, ESPN, Runner's World, Newsweek, Food Network, Taste of Home, Prevention, National Geographic, Smithsonian, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science and many more. An entire magazine is downloaded in full color so it can be read cover to cover.
There's no loan period, so a user can keep the download until they decide to delete it or cancel the subscription. The library is working with the content provider through a vendor. More magazine titles will be added and once a new issue of a magazine is out, users who have downloaded it before will get an email telling them the new issue is available.
Last year, the library launched a free e-book service for patrons, allowing them to check out books or audio books electronically for their Kindles or other electronic reading devices.
Stephens said the library averages a circulation of 700 to 800 e-books per month. All the numbers count towards the total circulation, whether people are coming to the library in person and checking out material or checking out material electronically from their mobile device or computer.
"This is part of the library being where our patrons are. As more of our patron base has moved electronically, it's important for us to be there as well," he said.
With magazines, patrons want to see the current issue now, not a couple weeks later.
"This allows us to deliver the most current content into our users' hands," he said.
If anyone has questions about the new service or needs help in getting started, call the library at 330-332-0042 and hit the choice for information.

What you guys do is great. The purpose of channel 9 is to be informal. "Listening to the pilots" I love the feeling of I just walked into Greg's office and said hey buddy whats up and we hung out and talked about cool stuff. Keep the spirit alive we love it.
Nice video, too bad Greg avoided the subject of horizontal scaling of the "RDBMS" layer. As the "RDBMS" here is actually an integral and a very critical part of any more or less decent application
these days, it would be nice to know how guys at Microsoft are planning to address that.
Oracle at least claims that their RAC (real application cluster) scales horizontally.
MS SQL Server does not even seem to have a similar concept neither in 2005, nor 2008 incarnation.

I just heard on the news that the FDA is recalling a generic version of Wellbutrin XL (bupropion XL). Can you explain this? Should I stop taking my medication?
By: Karen E. Moeller, PharmD, BCPP
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in early October that the generic medication Budeprion XL 300 mg, which has the same active ingredient, bupropion hydrochloride, as Wellbutrin XL, manufactured by Impax Laboratories, Inc. and marketed by Teva Pharmeuticals USA, Inc. was not equivalent to the brand name drug Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. The FDA has asked Impax/Teva to recall or remove Budeprion XL 300 mg from the market. Wellbutrin XL is approved for treatment of major depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder. Results from a recent study of people taking Budeprion XL 300 mg conducted by the FDA found that only 75 percent of the medication entered the bloodstream. Thus people who were switched from brand name Wellbutrin XL to Budeprion XL may see return of symptoms of depression or lack of effectiveness from the drug. However, this was NOT found with the 150 mg strength of Budeprion XL and the FDA has stated that the 150 mg strength of Budeprion XL is bioequivalent to Wellbutrin XL 150 mg.
It is also important to note that there are currently four other generic manufacturers that produce generic versions of Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. These generic products have NOT been recalled by the FDA. Additionally, the FDA believes the results from their study only apply to the Impax/Teva generic product based on consumer complaints. However, the FDA has asked the other generic manufacturers to study the bioequivalence of their 300 mg product to Wellbutrin XL 300 mg.
Consumers may wonder why the FDA approved this generic formulation if it was not bioequivalent. The FDA does require generic manufacturers to demonstrate that their medication is bioequivalent to the brand name product. In the case of Wellbutrin XL generic manufacturers compared their 150 mg product to the brand name Wellbutrin XL 150 mg. Results from these studies found the 150 mg strengths comparable. However, studies were not conducted on the 300 mg strengths of their product. Results from the bioequivalence studies of the 150 mg strength were used to approve the 300 mg product. Thus no direct comparisons were made between the 300 mg strengths.
One may also be worried about taking generic medications after reading this report. Overall there are over 10,000 FDA approved generic medications and complaints about generic drugs are rare. It is important when a prescription is picked up to check and see if there has been a switch to a generic medication or if there has been a switch to a different generic made from another generic manufacturer. If new side effects or worsening symptoms occur while taking these new products, contact a health care professional and ask them to report it to the FDA.

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING, D.C. - An Altoona native is slated to perform for more than 53 million estimated spectators today as part of the United States Air Force Band's appearance at the 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City.
The parade begins at 9 a.m. and will be broadcast locally on WJAC-TV, Johnstown.
Senior Master Sgt. Timothy Daniel Leahey joined the United States Air Force Band in November 1993, as a jazz trumpeter with the U.S. Air Force Band Airmen of Note after studying trumpet performance at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio.
Leahey is the Airmen of Note's noncommissioned officer in charge.
"Being part of events like this, representing the U.S. Air Force on a national stage, is one of the many perks of the incredible career I've had," Leahey said "There will be many different languages spoken by the viewers of the parade, but it is our honor in the Air Force Band to communicate the excellence of the men and women of the Air Force through the universal language of music."
Located at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, D.C., the United States Air Force Band's mission is to honor those who have served, inspire American citizens to heightened patriotism and service, and positively impact the global community on behalf of the U.S. Air Force and the United States of America.
Leahey earned a bachelor of music degree in trumpet performance from Youngstown State University in 1991. While at Youngstown State, he won the International Trumpet Guild Jazz Improvisation Competition, and was named the All Ohio Collegiate Musician of the Year.
Leahey has worked professionally with jazz greats Rosemary Clooney, John Oddo, Cecil Payne, the Brecker Brothers, Ernie Watts and Nick Brignola. He has studied with Ray Detwiler, Ron Dekker, Esotto Pellegrini, Sue Sexton, Tony Leonardi and Sam D'Angelo.
Leahey's Air Force career highlights have included four inaugural parades, performing the first dance for President Barack Obama's first Inaugural Ball as a soloist with the Ceremonial Brass, and numerous performances at the White House for President Bill Clinton.
Additional information was provided from the Air Force Band website. Staff Sgt. Torey Griffith is a member of the 11th Wing Public Affairs.

CD-adapco is the world's largest independent CFD focused provider of engineering simulation software, support and services. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering industrial strength engineering simulation.
This report fulfills the M3 milestone M3FT-12PN0810041, "Report on Realistic Temperature Profiles", under Work Package FT-12PN081004.
As part of the Used Fuel Disposition Campaign of the Department of Energy (DOE), visual inspections and temperature measurements were performed on two storage modules in the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Station's Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The inspection procedure included surface temperature measurements on one end of the DSC within the storage module. The data obtained in the inspections at Calvert Cliffs provide an opportunity to develop structural and thermal models that can yield realistic temperature predictions for actual storage systems, in contrast to conservative and bounding design basis calculations.
Detailed models of the concrete storage modules to be examined were developed using STAR-CCM+ (version 7.02; CD-Adapco, 2012). The immediate purpose of this modeling effort is to obtain temperature predictions in actual storage conditions for the module, DSC, and DSC contents, including preliminary estimates of fuel cladding temperatures for the SNF. The long-term goal of this work is to obtain realistic evaluations of thermal performance of actual SNF storage systems over extended periods, which will require developing a detailed COBRA-SFS (Michener, et al., 1987) model of the DSC internals, in addition to the large system models. The approach used in this study omits many of the conservatisms and bounding assumptions normally used in design-basis and safety-basis calculations for spent fuel storage systems. The results of this study cannot be used in licensing basis evaluations of the Calvert Cliffs ISFSI, or any other spent fuel storage facility.
The storage modules used for this study are HSM-1 and HSM-15 in the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Station's ISFSI, each containing a 24P DSC loaded with 24 CE 14x14 spent fuel assemblies. The total decay heat load for the DSC in HSM-15 was 10.8 kW at the time of loading, and was calculated to be 7.6 kW as of June 2012. The total decay heat load for the DSC in HSM-1 was calculated to be 4.1 kW as of June 2012. Figure S.1 shows an image of the computational volume mesh for the HSM-1 and HSM-15 modules. Figures S.2 and S.3 further illustrate the detailed mesh of these two models with planar slices through the HSM-15 model at the mid-line longitudinally and in the transverse direction.

"I know that I, right now, am the happiest I've ever been in my life," the NBA player, who this week became the first openly gay athlete in a major U.S. team sport, tells ABC News.
"A huge weight has been lifted. I've already been out to my family and my friends, but just to, you know, sort of rip the Band-Aid off and come out on my own terms … I hope that every player makes a decision that leads to their own happiness."
Collins, 34, a 7-foot center for the Washington Wizards, understands that his decision isn't just personal but historic – and he hopes other gay athletes follow his lead.
Kwaku Alston For Sports Illustrated
Collins says he struggled with his sexuality for years, and was even engaged to a woman once. "I sort of describe it as, you know the sky is blue but you keep telling yourself it's red," he says.
Eventually he told his parents, who were supportive, and that changed everything. "Once you have that big talk with whoever that is in your family and you get that support, you get that love, you know the rest of it is kind of downhill from there," he says.
Collins said the outpouring of support he's received has been incredible since his first-person story was posted Monday to Sports Illustrated's website. "You just try to live an honest, genuine life, and next thing you know, you have the president calling you," he says.
Collins will be a free agent this summer but hopes to continue his NBA career. "The NBA is like a brotherhood," he says. "And I'm looking at it that we'll all support each other on and off the court."

Charleston Southern University was scheduled to dedicate its Christian Leadership Building Wednesday morning.
The 26,500-square-foot facility houses the CSU Center for Christian Leadership, classrooms, conference space, a resource and research center and offices for the School of Christian Studies, the history and political science department, the criminal justice department and the Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
"We envisioned a critical need for a signature building to house our Center for Christian Leadership more than a decade ago," said CSU President Dr. Jairy C. Hunter Jr. "The dedication of our new Christian Leadership Building will be a dream come true to the CSU family.
"This state-of-the-art conference center will be a global resource to anyone seeking information and guidance on Christian leadership principles."
The University will dedicate expansions to Derry Patterson Wingo Hall, which houses the College of Nursing and Allied Health, Friday, Oct. 11 at 9 a.m., and the Hunter Reception Center Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 9 a.m.
In addition to these new facilities, Charleston Southern has opened an Athletics Center, a softball press box, and the school added lights to the baseball field in the last year.

Bluffton at Carey
Record: Bluffton 1-0; Carey 0-1.
Coaches: Bluffton Dennis Lee; Carey Todd Worst.
Last week: Bluffton beat Cory-Rawson 49-13; Carey fell at Upper Sandusky, 40-19.
Last year: Carey shut out the Pirates 26-0.
Outlook: Worst said Carey has the ability to compete with anyone on its schedule.
As long as the Blue Devils take care of the ball.
They didn't last week. Upper Sandusky took advantage of four Blue Devil turnovers to beat Carey
"As long as we attack our jobs and hang on to the ball, I think we can be competitive with most teams," Worst said.
The coach also said he wants to see his team do a better job tackling against Bluffton.
"We gotta do a good job wrapping up," he said. "We were in the right position [against Upper Sandusky] and didn't do what we were supposed to do."
Worst said quarterback Matthew Holsinger, who missed most of the first half last week, is "going to be fine," and he will face a tough Pirate defense.
"They move pretty well up front, good speed across the top," he said. "We're gonna have to be consistent in our blocking."
Elmwood at Hopewell-Loudon
Record: Elmwood 0-1, Hopewell-Loudon 0-1.
Coaches: Elmwood Brian Cooper; Hopewell-Loudon Jeremy Nutter
Last week Elmwood fell to Gibsonburg 35-13; Hopewell-Loudon lost to Leipsic 33-20.
Last season: Hopewell-Loudon defeated the Royals, 36-20
Outlook: While Nutter said he saw some positives in the Chieftains' loss to Leipsic last week, he said no one in his camp is satisfied.
"Our kids aren't OK with losing," Nutter said. "They know there's work to be done, and they're resilient."
Hopewell-Loudon will have a chance to prove that Friday, when it makes its home debut against Elmwood., which like the Chieftains, is coming off a loss. But Nutter said the Royals have some playmakers, starting with receiver Aaron Arnold, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound senior.
"Arnold, he makes them go," Nutter said. "He's a really fast kid, the most athletic kid on the field. But if you overfocus on him they have a nice tailback (Austin Isaacs) who can run you over up the middle.
"It's gonna be interesting," Nutter said.
Mohawk at Wynford
Record: Mohawk 0-1; Wynford 0-1
Coaches: Mohawk Erik Baker; Wynford Gabe Helbert
Last week: Mohawk fell to Pleasant 58-12; Wynford lost to Liberty-Benton 17-3,
Last season: Wynford beat the Warriors 34-14.
Outlook: Baker said last week's loss spelled out to the Warriors where they are right now.
"Biggest thing we took from last week is that we are a work in progress," he said. "Pleasant is big , fast and well-coached and we have a lot of work to do to get to that level of performance."
A formidable challenge awaits this week as well. Wynford, the traditionally strong non-conference rival of Mohawk, has a strong running back in Corey Brown.
Baker said the Warriors expect the Royals to establish the star back.
"I expect Wynford to try and establish Corey Brown just as they expect us to establish [Mohawk back] Gunnar Johnson," he said. "To contain their offense we need to shed blocks and run to [the] ball as a team."
Most of all, Baker said he just wants his team to play better.
"Improvement has been [the] emphasis this week," he said. "You will have adversity in your life, don't shrink from it, address it and move forward."
Lakota at Gibsonburg
Record: Lakota 1-0; Gibsonburg 1-0.
Last week: Lakota beat Arcadia 38-0; Gibsonburg beat Elmwood 35-13.
Last year: Lakota won 27-0.
Coaches: Dave Vodika, Lakota; Steve Reser, Gibsonburg.
Outlook: The shutout in Week 1 was nice, but it's far from the kind of signature win Lakota's seeking this year. Still, it's a step in the right direction.
"It's been a while in the making to get to this point where we feel we're competing and where we feel we've prepped well and we've had a good preseason," Vodika said. "It's a process and we've really challenged them this week to not make this [first win] our finest moment. It's a 10-game season. We were excited and we did play well, but the guys are focused.
"Gibsonburg's going to be a lot more formidable opponent. We're looking forward to the game and it's a neighborhood rivalry," he said. "I think a mature team right now handles those things and that's what we're trying to be. We told them Saturday, 'OK, celebration's over' and they wanted to get back to work."
After a dominating season-opening win, the Raiders hit the road to face the Golden Bears, who roughed up Elmwood 35-13 last week. It will be the second game in a row for Gibsonburg to face a former Suburban Lakes League foe, and Vodika said his Raiders look forward to what is now a non-conference rivalry.
"A rivalry is a rivalry and I think our guys are pretty pumped for this," he said.
"We're looking forward to this. It's a rivalry, a neighborhood rivalry," he said. "The concern's that we have are to maintain a high level of consistency."
A big challenge to that will be Gibsonburg quarterback Matt Tille, who threw for four TDs and 190 yards in the season-opener against Elmwood. Vodika said containing him will be key.
"I've seen enough of [quarterback] Matt Tille that if they want to graduate him early, that's fine with me," he said. "He's a three-year letterman and a mature quarterback."
Fostoria at Bowling Green
Record: Fostoria 0-1; Bowling Green 0-1.
Last week: Fostoria lost 55-0 to Ottawa-Glandorf; Bowling Green lost 13-7 to Rossford.
Last year: Bowling Green won 31-0.
Coaches: Jim Kelly, Fostoria; Bill Wammes, Bowling Green.
Outlook: It's difficult to find a positive in a 55-0 loss to a perennial power, but they are there for Fostoria.
One is the fact the Redmen still have plenty of health. Another is they also still have desire.
"One thing we did was stay healthy, and that's good. We were lucky there," Kelly said.
"This year we didn't quit. We weren't great all the time, but we didn't quit," he said. "Last year, there were times we quit. The young kids kept battling [in the opener]. I was proud to see that."
He also hopes to see a win. The Redmen haven't done that since the 2011 season finale and turning that trend around against Bowling Green won't be easy, Kelly said.
Fostoria hasn't beaten the Bobcats since 2009, and this year's bunch from BG bring challenges, he said.
"They have some skill guys. The biggest thing is, when you're facing a school that's a bigger school, the numbers come into play with that. Especially with us because we're a younger team," Kelly said. "They do throw the football well, they have some skill guys and we're going to keep everything in front of us."
Youth will also challenge Fostoria. But if there's one thing the Redmen have over Bowling Green, it's their continuity. Fostoria is in the second year under Kelly while the Bobcats have a new coach.
"We're just so young. I think probably the one thing is, they have a new coaching staff. When that happens, you like to think you have a little [more] continuity," Kelly said. "Sometimes those type of things take a team longer to get acclimated."
Seneca East at Upper Sandusky
Records: Seneca East 1-0; Upper Sandusky 1-0
Last week: Seneca East blasted South Central 54-21 while Upper Sandusky dropped rival Carey 40-19.
Coaches: Seneca East Ed Phillips; Upper Sandusky Jake Moyer.
Outlook: On paper it looked like two easy victories for two good teams, but Phillips and Moyer saw things that their teams need to address.
"Up front we have to do some things better in the run game, on the offensive line," Phillips said. "We did a good job controlling the line, but didn't get to the second level guys, that will be important for us this week."
"We dropped four long passes that were right in the kids hands; I really felt we should've been up three or four scores at halftime," Moyer said. "(Carey) losing their No. 1 quarterback for a period of time hurt them, so maybe it balances itself out."
Two of the area's best quarterbacks will face off, as Ethan Caudill brings his Tigers into Upper Sandusky to face Tylor Pritchard's Rams.
Each QB gives the opposing coach plenty to worry about.
"He's a good dual threat, there's no doubt," Phillips said of Pritchard. "When you look at what they do, he runs the ball well and throws the ball well. We gotta stop them running the ball first of all, and that goes for any game. If you don't stop the run, you're going to be in trouble. But then, he can throw the heck out of the ball and has a lot of weapons to throw it to."
"He does a real nice job of distributing the ball," Moyer countered when asked about Caudill. "We've seem him where he keeps the ball around end. He's got quick feet, nifty in the open field. All of the perimeter stuff the can do, they create quite a quandary for our defense."
Phillips says the game will come down to how his team's speed can match up against Upper Sandusky's size.
"They have very good size up front," he said. "Size-wise, their a big team on both sides of the football; they throw some beef at you. We're a speed team. We have speed with our skill guys and up front we're based on that as well."
For Moyer, he's hoping his team has learned a lesson from last year, when the Rams followed up a Week 1 win with a sub par Week 2.
"This game reminds all the coaches so much of last year when we beat Carey, then went into Colonel Crawford and laid an egg at Colonel Crawford," he said. "And that Colonel Crawford team is the same kind of team as Seneca East. We've been telling them 'It's only one game, don't get overconfident.'"
Buckeye Central at Cardington-Lincoln
Records: Buckeye Central 0-1; Cardington-Lincoln 0-1
Last week: Buckeye Central fell to New London 20-6 while Cardington-Lincoln lost to North Union, 50-6.
Coaches: Buckeye Central, Jeff Niedermier; Cardington-Lincoln, Brandon Dodrill
Outlook: Niedermier's debut as Bucks coach didn't go the way he wanted. But the positive side for Niedermier is he feels all the mistakes his team made were things that can be fixed.
"I felt the guys came out, did a decent job," he said. "We had quite a few mistakes, but there wasn't anything that wasn't correctable. A lot of things we could sit down and say, "We can do this better; we can do that better."
While the Pirates were on the wrong end of a lopsided score last week, Niedermier says that's more due to the strength of the opponent (North Union) rather than Cardington-Lincoln's abilities.
"The have a senior-dominated team," Niedermier said. "They run a spread, no-huddle offense. It's something a little bit different that we have to prepare for. They have some big guys on the d-line.
"They're fairly balanced from what we saw. They'll throw out of it, do a lot of motion out of it. Everyone has to do their assignment and be where they're supposed to be. We have to stay disciplined."

Irish bucket list for St. Patrick's Day - top places to visit in Ireland before you die - PHOTOS
So suppose you were told the clock was running out and it was time for your last great journey before heading West forever?
Here's my top ten spots in Ireland I would want to visit on my bucket list.
I'm not saying I'd die happy, but I'd come close!
Can you share yours?
1. A drive around Slea Head on the West Kerry peninsula, watch the majestic Atlantic unfold in all its majesty, the Blasket Islands sparkling in the distance and drive back in time to a timeless landscape
2. A stroll down Grafton Street in Dublin on a Saturday morning as the shoppers mingle and the musicians play and the great street theater unfolds. A cup of coffee and an Irish breakfast in Bewley's makes the day
3. Eyre Square in Galway during Galway races week as the Western city comes alive with gamblers, chancers, singers, poets, Galway hookers and every kind of humanity in town, for the biggest festival in the land.
4. Croke Park Dublin on All Ireland hurling final day. Watch the world's most ancient game which was played by CuChulainn, according to the Irish sagas. The modern warriors are fast, fit, and fleet, and would give even the mythical CuChulainn a run.
5. The Hill of Tara in Meath. Seat of the Irish high kings, where history reaches out and touches the present. Imagine the massive banquets, coronations, love affairs, and wars that were hatched and carried out here
6. Glendalough, in the Wicklow Hills, where the ancient monks came to pray, be solitary, and fast. Solitary it was and is, a great stillness and beauty.
7. W.B. Yeats grave, Drumcliff graveyard, Sligo. Traffic pass by. Here is the resting place of perhaps the world's greatest poet and a place to savor the silence and the plain but magnificent epitaph "Cast a cold eye on life, on death, Horsemen pass by"
8. Glens of Antrim -- Far north of Belfast a beautiful unspoilt and untrod landscape, forgotten during the Troubles, now being rediscovered all over again
9. Beal Na mBlath, the Mouth of the Flowers, a few miles outside Cork City where the great Michael Collins fell and Irish history changed forever. What might have been begins here.
10. Inishowen Peninsula, Donegal. Hear the ancient language of the Celts spoken in everyday life, walk the wild mountains and spectacular beaches -- a step away from heaven.
11. (bonus) Where else,?The Cliffs of Moher. They were good enough for Harry Potter so they are good enough for us!
What's on your bucket list?

A small Wisconsin town – the size of Rhinelander – has been wiped off the map. It's as if 8,000 people have completely disappeared.
This is no horror film … but rather FACT's new media campaign based on the 8,000 people killed every year from tobacco-related illnesses in Wisconsin. FACT (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco), Wisconsin's first statewide tobacco prevention movement for youth ages 13-18, kicked off its new media and activism campaign titled, "They Killed 8,000." The television spots, created by and starring the youth advocates, is airing statewide through May 18.
This was a year-long process, and the youth were involved from start to finish, says Laura Mays, Oneida County Tobacco-Free coordinator. The process began in spring and summer of 2007, as FACT members joined together for Creative Expression Challenges in Minocqua, Hudson, Appleton, Madison and Milwaukee. Six local youth participated in the Minocqua challenge. Then, in August, FACT representatives from all regions of the state met in Madison for the "Final Challenge" to select and polish their one big campaign idea. Oneida County sent two youth to help.
"I hope that after people see the commercial, they'll be inspired to contact us or start their own local FACT group," observes Danielle Larson, Rhinelander High School FACT member.
Another element of the "They Killed 8,000" campaign includes a banner ad on MySpace profile pages of Wisconsin teens age 17 and under that links to the redesigned FACT web site http://www.fightwithfact.com.
This campaign does not rest on media alone. To provide additional support, 36 FACT groups across Wisconsin will be utilizing their Underground FACTivism Kits to take their message to Wisconsin teens by carrying out street marketing tactics in their communities.
For more information on the 8,000 statistic behind the FACT media campaign, check out the Burden of Tobacco 2006 report at http://www.medsch.wisc.edu/mep/download ... al_reports.
FACT is part of the Wisconsin Tobacco Control and Prevention program, a statewide program that includes tobacco treatment resources, state and local initiatives, youth tobacco prevention programs and media. The FACT movement is managed by the American Lung Association of Wisconsin. To view the new TV commercials, visit http://www.fightwithfact.com/spots.php (click on the 60 SEC box.)

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Dori23 Womens and Mens Studded Secure Steps I think this product has excellent features so that you won't slip and fall in snow or ice and are easy to carry and put on shoes or boots for added protection. March 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by suebhoney Very well made They fit perfectly and we ordered one size up as was suggested! Unfortunately, we've had a very mild winter and have yet been able to use them, but there is still time and of course, many more winters to come! I did a lot of looking around when it came to these, and must say, Vermont Country Store had the best guarantee and the price was very reasonable. I did find some for $8.99 elsewhere, but after reading a lot of reviews for many different kinds, knew that I'd get the best warranty from here. This is why I purchase from Vermont Country Store for as much as I can, the guarantee. Thank you. March 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hockey Mom Cleats for Winter I had a pair with metal springs; which lasted three winters. They rusted out. These are all rubber and I am betting they'll last longer than three winters. February 5, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Gimpy Size with Care This product seems to be just what I've been looking for. However, the sizing is way off; I first bought size medium, which proved much too small to fit my size 8 Storm Chaser shoes. I exchanged for size large, which arrived while I was away and after all the ice had melted. So I won't know till next winter whether they work well or not, but I suspect they will. The size L fits my shoes securely. March 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by burgy Saved me from another bad slip Thank You....Thank You for being here when I needed you :). I got caught on the first black ice we had . I took a bad slip down several cement steps and, gashed the back of my head . When I collected myself and took care of my head , I knew I needed to do something for, we are going to have more black ice and , I need to be out on foot . I thought , I thought , get to my computer and search for "Ice Cleats " I found your site and ordered :). Here is the the miricle part to this story. After I ordered, the black ice of course.. melted and was gone but , the day they arrived was perfect timeing because, we were having another ice and snow storm this day and this time I was ready :). I went out and about without a single problem :). These cleats grip that ice like it is nothing, and believe me, it was icy out there. Thank you from my heart for having these Studded Secure Steps on hand :). They are the best. :) March 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CSB1 These should be called LifeSavers! as well as Stabilicers With NYC winter snowfall the past two seasons, and a very peppy 9yr old golden retriever, the Stabilicers are essential. I feel like Spiderman wearing them and can conquer any slope in Central Park. March 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Singer 13 Better than they used to be! With snow, sleet, and freezing rain all expected from one storm a few weeks ago, my husband looked around for his cleats, bought from you years ago. Neither of us had any idea where they were, and we couldn't find them, so I ordered new ones. You sent them right away, in time for the next storm. He says they are even better than the old ones were. No more bruises from falling on the ice. I would recommend these to anyone who is experiencing this horrible winter weather! February 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RJT As Good as Advertised these cleats are durable, strong, and perform as advertised. Best ice cleats I've ever used. February 22, 2015

Full disclosure- I am a postal worker.I only wish Banshee could know how it feels to be the lone worker in an understaffed office and have someone behave in this way. I work in a small town office and sometimes there's a line and sometimes not. Our budget only allows for one person to work the window at a time. I can't help it if you're the fifth person in line. I get this soooo much and I have asked a swearing customer to leave if they couldn't stop swearing only to be treated to more swearing. I have had to call the police to have threatening and cursing customers escorted out. I had a customer stand out in front of the door to the PO telling people how much of a female dog I was and how I gave bad customer service for not listening to his cursing. A very nice man come in and warned me what he was doing and he had to be escorted off the property by police because he would. not. leave.This behavior is NOT the norm and the incidents have been over the course of my 8 year postal career (and there have been many more). But I can't engage in and correct an adults bad behavior without usually making it worse, so unless there are actual threats I stay out of it.

November 2015
In the first long-term follow-up of patients treated with buprenorphine/naloxone for addiction to opioid pain relievers, half reported that they were abstinent from the drugs 18 months after starting the therapy.
February 2015
Trial participants who were addicted to opioid painkillers and did not inject drugs stayed in treatment longer and achieved better outcomes than those who were addicted to heroin or injected drugs.
Can marijuana use put offspring at heightened risk for opiate addiction, even if the use stops before the offspring are conceived? Results from a recent NIDA-funded study are consistent with other studies suggesting that a parent's history of drug use, even preconception, may affect a child's brain function and behavior.
June 2014
Two recent studies suggest that genotyping may enable clinicians to base therapies on individual patients' potential responsiveness to opioid drugs' therapeutic effects and vulnerability to their harmful effects.
April 2014
Exposing rats to THC increases the likelihood that the animals will later self-administer nicotine. THC-exposed rats are also willing to work harder to obtain nicotine. When extrapolated to people, the findings suggest that THC's pharmacological impact on the brain may make a person who uses marijuana more vulnerable to developing nicotine addiction, an underappreciated health consequence of marijuana use.
Almost one-third (32 percent) of the roughly 42,000 Monitoring the Future survey respondents reported having used marijuana during their lifetime. However, abuse of many other drugs—methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and some prescription medications—declined.
November 2013
More than half of heroin-addicted patients treated with naltrexone via an implanted delivery device maintained abstinence throughout a 6-month clinical trial in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The implant device, which releases a steady dose of naltrexone continuously for 2 months, averted relapse to heroin use three times as effectively as daily oral doses of the medication.
September 2013
Dr. Marilyn Huestis of NIDA's Intramural Research Program talks about conducting research on drug effects with human subjects, developing tests to help law enforcement identify drugged drivers, and an assay to help identify children whose prenatal exposure to anti-HIV drugs may put them at risk for adverse developmental outcomes.
September 2012
New vaccines that aim to promote recovery from cocaine and heroin abuse showed promise in animal testing. Both vaccines induced rats' immune system to produce high titers of antibodies that inhibit the target drug from reaching the brain. The rats' behaviors when given access to the target drug indicated that the vaccines reduced the reinforcing effects that, in recovering people, can cause lapses to turn into relapses.
July 2012
Soluble-film preparations of buprenorphine suppressed heroin abusers' withdrawal symptoms with no serious side effects in a recent clinical trial. They dissolved more rapidly in the mouth than the pill form of the medication, providing faster relief.

It's not a complicated post, from a Copenhagen perspective. But believe us when we say that we know what you're up against in North America and the UK, among other places.
Just look at the website for The League of American Bicyclists. Click on Clothing Materials. This organisation is, on paper, one of the prominent bicycle advocates for cycling in the US. Under Clothing Materials they highlight five 'fabrics'; Lycra/Spandex, Coolmax [what the fuck is THAT?], wool, goretex, nylon. This is what the 'League' recommends for cyclists. Silly gits.
Seriously, I don't own anything with four of those, except for ski trousers and gloves. I have a handsome longcoat and a couple of sweaters in wool, though. You'd think that this 'League' were slightly more on the ball, wouldn't you? Fuhgetaboutit. Let's ditch this bike geek / sports nerd mentality, leave them in the dust of their mountain bike trail and move on to the issue at hand.
Namely, Selecting Suitable Cycling Clothing for Urban Cycling - Copenhagen Style.
A cyclist shopping for important accessories.
Cyclist trying on newly-purchased cycling boots outside department store.
One of my favourite cycling clothing shops in my neighbourhood. Zornig.
Another favourite cycling clothing specialist - Tiger of Sweden. Although I prefer Day Birger et Mikkelsen at the moment.
Wifealiciousness shopping for cycling clothing one evening in Paris.
Funky cycling clothing at a second-hand shop in Copenhagen. Carmen & Fantasio.
Sale on cycling clothing in the Vesterbro neighbourhood of Copenhagen.
My favourite store for cycling shoes when in Tokyo. Commes des Garcons.
You get the point. And this post doesn't suggest that you MUST dress as we do. Buy your clothes at Walmart for all we care. We're just saying that you already own cycling clothing. Just open your closet. It's NOT difficult. It's normal for millions of people around the world each and every day. Buy the clothes you like. Just don't buy the bike geek hype.
Thankfully, there are good role models [I know, I know... we were the first] who are getting media attention. This article in the New York Post by Kirsten Fleming shows that The Normalisation of Urban Cycling is underway. [Can't believe I just linked to the Post...]
These designs are actually on sale on the internet. To the first one we say, "Bullshit", unless you're referring to John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. To the second we say, "Chic, not Cheek. Choose Style over Speed".

Hawaii Considers Celebrity Bill
Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler testifies on celebrity privacy during a hearing at the Hawaii Capitol in Honolulu on Friday. Rock legends Steven Tyler and Mick Fleetwood convinced a Hawaii Senate committee on Friday to approve a bill to protect celebrities or anyone else from intrusive paparazzi. The state Senate Judiciary Committee approved the so-called Steven Tyler Act after the stars testified. The bill would give people power to sue others who take photos or video of their private lives in an offensive way. (AP Photo/Oskar Garcia)
Question: Does this legislation represent a slippery slope re: First Amendment?

I recently bought this 17 degree 2 iron hybrid used (barely a scratch on it) and i couldn't be happier! This club hits long and launches the ball up high just the way i want it to. Great club for anyone looking to replace their longer iron or fairway wood.
I just purchased this the other day and have already put it to work. very easy to use and launches great.
Nice club

Produced and directed by the acclaimed French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, In God's Name explores the complex questions of our time through the intimate thoughts and beliefs of 12 of the world's most influential spiritual leaders. These diverse and powerful voices offer provocative, compelling and enlightening perspective on myriad issues in our post-9/11 world, including the rise of terrorism, fanaticism, intolerance and war. In God's Name marks the first time that this distinct group of leaders has appeared in one program allowing the viewer to see them in intimate settings, including their homes and personal places of worship. These spiritual beacons speak out about violence and hatred and reveal their own thoughts about faith, peace, unity, tolerance and hope. Ultimately, through the eyes of these 12 very different religious figures, the filmmakers discover the common ground among believers around the world. Written by National Geographic

Nicole, Edwin, Isaac, Alexis, Sasha
If you were a piece of artwork, which one would you be and why?
Nicole: I would like to be Picasso's paintings, because they're beautiful, artistic, and creative.
Alexis: A statue, so everyone could see how I am.
Sasha: I would be a Picasso because I like all the artistic things he draws.
For your next trip, where would you want to travel and why?
Nicole: I would go to Italy because they have a lot of beautiful sculptures and beautiful statues and art.
Isaac: I would go to New York, because I want to see how it is.
Isaiah: I would go to France so I could learn to speak the language because my sister speaks French.
Sasha: I would go to New York because I like all the stuff they have and I want to see the Statue of Liberty.
Victoria, program advisor for UCSB Education Abroad Program, and Emily, graduate student at UCSB and a financial analyst for UCSB
Why did you come to the museum today?
Victoria: We came to see the German exhibition. It was very interesting to read the explanation about the difference in agendas of the art between the east and west blocks.
If you were a piece of artwork, which one would you be and why?
Victoria: I think I would want to be a mosaic, because it's colorful and a molding of different media and you can be a collective work. There is just a lot of variety that could happen. It combines a lot of things and I identify with that.
Has a piece of art ever made you laugh or cry? Which one? Why?
Emily: We thought the "colon-esque" sculpture over there [by Franz West] was pretty funny. I think modern art can be pretty funny.
For your next trip, where would you want to travel and why?
Victoria: I think I want to go to Japan, just because I've recently been making an effort to become minimalist in my life and surroundings, and I see that a lot in Japanese art, especially in the traditional landscapes. I'm just attracted to their use of space, simplicity, and ceremonial approach to everyday life.
Caroline and Ed
Have you ever been inspired by art to do something that you normally wouldn't?
Ed: The work of Goya got me to Madrid on his bicentennial, and I don't think I would have gone there otherwise.
Caroline: All the tiles got me to Istanbul.
For your next trip, where would you want to travel and why?
Ed: We haven't really talked about it, but we are not of one mind on that [both laugh]. She would like to go somewhere where it is very hot and I'm not sure I would want to go. I would like to go to Scotland.
Caroline: The Greek Isles.
What are you reading right now?
Ed: I'm reading my son's third novel, it's called Lowboy.

ORANGEBURG — Between 50 and 75 South Carolina State University students are protesting outside the Board of Trustees meeting, calling for the group to hire interim president Cynthia Warrick as the school's permanent president.
Discussions on the decline in enrollment and compensating for a $6 million budget deficit are competing with student chants, a drum, and the amplified music of Sam Cooke's "A Change Gonna Come."
The university's Board voted 6-5 to continue its search for a permanent president despite a call from the student body president to hire Warrick.
Student Government Association president Nathaniel Shazier brought a student petition to today's board meeting calling for the group to hire Warrick.
Several board members opposed to calling off the search said Warrick was the top candidate for the job, but they wanted to continue the search to make sure they found the best leader possible.
Shazier, who attends board meetings but can't vote at them, left the meeting after the vote.
The SGA sent a tweet to students, calling them to leave class and gather at Lowman Hall, where the board meeting is being held, to protest.

Who needs a will? Pretty much everyone
It's obvious why wills are necessary for married people who have children and valuable assets, but for those of us who don't have kids or large estates, a will is still important.
"Most people over the age of 18 need a will," says Shari-Lynn Cuomo Shore, an attorney in Hamden, Conn. "Single individuals often need a will even more so than a married person. For married people, in most jurisdictions, most property can pass to the surviving spouse upon the death of the other spouse. However, since an unmarried person does not have this option, their estates generally go through probate court."
