Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. —
ALVA--Northwestern Oklahoma State University is offering the public an opportunity to take a trip back in time at its main campus in Alva next week.
Dr. Amy Hall, assistant professor of English, said that several classes and student organizations at the campus have joined together to host the Northwest Oklahoma Medieval and Renaissance Fair on Friday, April 12.
Hall said this is the first time that the campus has organized such an event.
As one of the main organizers of the event, Hall said she sees the fair as a way to share her passion for the Medieval and Renaissance periods.
"I'm a medievalist; I teach all the Medieval and Shakespeare classes," she said. "And I've attended fairs for years now. But the closest is in Norman. So there's a lot of people around here who've not been to one before."
In holding a Medieval and Renaissance fair at Northwestern, Hall said the university is offering the area public the opportunity to participate in "something different for entertainment and education."
The fair will be an all-day event. "We are having events going from 10 in the morning until 7 p.m. that night," Hall said, noting "some of the events will only be held at one particular time, so there will always be something new going on."
The fair will feature performances by a professional harpist, professional storyteller, and belly dancing troupe, as well as a blacksmithing demonstration.
In addition, Hall said, "several classes and student clubs and organizations are doing different events throughout the day."
For instance, she said some of the English classes will be putting on Shakespeare performances, World Literature students will be offering different culture games and activities, and the mass communication department will have a printing press demonstration.
"The Spanish clubs and classes will have a sort of human museum that will be all about the Spanish and Mexican culture during the Renaissance and Medieval periods," she said.
Several interactive events have been scheduled for children as well, including a petting zoo and a scavenger hunt.
"The lords and ladies will be handing out gifts to the kids once they perform the scavenger hunt around campus," Hall said.
And a treat for all ages will be a "Pirate's Cove" display.
"I have one class that is all writing about pirates and is dedicated to studying the pirate way of life," Hall said. "So we're going to have a display showing that way of life. It'll probably include a mock ship and offer different activities for kids and everybody, such as having them dig for treasure and things like that. We'll also have pirate storytelling. And somebody may even be captured and put into pirate prison, all in fun, of course."
Hall said the fair will also include "some vendors selling Medieval ware, as well as food and drinks."
The event will "end with a bardic poetry reading," she said, adding "It should be a great time overall."
The fair will held across campus with most of the performance events held at the NWOSU student center in the center of the campus, Hall said. The vendors, petting zoo and Pirate's Cove activities will be located near the practice field by the university's wellness center, that sits just off Highway 281, she said.
"Campus maps and programs will be available and you can get them at any of the major event locations," she said.
Admission to the Northwest Oklahoma Medieval and Renaissance Fair is free and open to anyone.
The public is invited to attend and encouraged to dress the part and don period clothing if they so wish.
"The more people that dress up, the better," Hall said.
However, those attending the fair should keep in mind that parking at the NWOSU campus is limited.
"They need to make sure they park along main roads where parking spaces are available," Hall said.
Since the event will include a variety of child-oriented activities, the assistant professor said that school groups are welcome to attend the fair.
"If schools are coming, I ask that they let me know how many buses they will be bringing so we can figure out where to put them all," she said.
For more information or to schedule a visit by a school group, contact Hall's office at (580) 327-8428.

Despite her album 4 leaking three weeks ahead of its release date, Beyoncé appeared to be in good spirits, smiling as she touched down in Nice, France, on Sunday (June 12). The "Run the World (Girls)" singer tried to keep a low profile in a white blazer, leggings, black hat, and round sunglasses as she and her mother Tina Knowles were escorted through the airport by her security. Fans and photographers clamored for a photo with the pop star, who is gearing up to headline England's Glastonbury Festival on June 26.

Millburn High School's Drama Club has continued its efforts to help residents at Broadway House, a nursing home for AIDS/HIV patients in Newark, this season with a holiday drive and concert.
Drama Club students and English teacher Suzanne Snyder, who founded "Millburn Cares" 10 years ago, spearheaded a Care Drive, collecting more than 200 gifts for the 150 residents at Broadway House.
The students wrapped and delivered the gifts on Saturday, Dec. 10, and sang holiday songs for the residents for about an hour.
"They don't do this for the limelight, rather they do this out of a tradition of caring," Mrs. Snyder said. "Every year when I go to Broadway House in Newark with the drama club I am reminded how to love purely and care unconditionally for human beings for the simple reason we all need someone, sometime, somewhere in our lives."
The Drama Club put large gift-wrapped boxes around school for teachers and students to donate gifts that would make someone less fortunate feel special on Christmas morning. From Oct. 30 to Dec. 2 students collected a variety of gifts such as perfume, cologne, costume jewelry, handbags, wallets, etc.
The students involved were Erin Hernon, Julia Silverstein, Chandler Blasini, Alyse Binder, Bradley Bunn, Cynthia Mustafa, Elenor Konrad, Chris McHugh, Aanchal Sahay, Ambika Chetal, Charley Wolfe, and Leonard Santos.
At Monday's Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Dr. James Crisfield praised the students and the gift drive, saying the giving of their time and performance at Broadway House, showed the content of their character.

Futures Market Commentary for September 26th 2012 $HE_Foptions Xpress - Wednesday, September 26th, 2012
Today's Spotlight Market
The current downsizing of the U.S. hog herd due to huge losses by producers is keeping market-ready hog supplies ample for now. However, expectations of a smaller herd size in 2013 is setting the stage for a potentially sizable recovery in pork prices, as supplies are estimated to be the lowest per-capita since the mid 1970's.
Lean Hog futures have started to recover from the steep sell-off during the past 3 months, as it appears that herd liquidation has run its course and cash market pork values have bottomed. Many hog producers had a rough summer due to the severe drought in the central portions of the U.S. which drove-up feed costs and made raising Hogs an unprofitable endeavor for most producers. Herd liquidation flooded the market with Hogs, forcing futures prices down by nearly 30% at its worst levels since mid-July. Recently, we have seen wholesale pork prices rebound, as the flow of Hogs to slaughter has stabilized and supplies of market ready Hogs have now begun to tighten. Front-month October futures have now rallied over $5 per hundredweight from recent lows and have moved solidly above the 20-day moving average triggering "bullish" signals for short-term momentum traders. However, we must remember that lead month futures are trading at a $6-plus premium to the CME 2-day Lean Hog index, and unless we see a continued increase in cash market prices, October futures may struggle to move higher, as futures prices will converge with the cash index at expiration of the October futures less than 3 weeks away.
Technical Notes
Looking at the daily chart for October Lean Hogs, we notice how swiftly prices have recovered from the low of 70.375 recorded on September 7th. Since that time, prices have closed higher 9 out of 11 days, as short-covering buying by many small speculators took control of the market. We have started to see some long liquidation selling by large speculators occurring, as the most recent Commitment of Traders report shows large non-commercial traders shedding just over 5,000 contracts for the week ending September 18th. Trading volume has started to wane recently, which may be a sign that the rally is not drawing in many new longs to the market. The 14-day RSI is strong, with a current reading of 59.13. The August 14th high of 77.775 looks to be the next major resistance level for October Lean Hogs, with support found at the 20-day moving average, currently near the 73.735 level.

Trayvon Supporters Mobilize Out-of-State Support to Fla. Capitol
Slain teen's backers say they are bringing in outside help to repeal the controversial law.
The Trayvon Martin supporters who flooded Florida Gov. Rick Scott's office Thursday night say they are now mobilizing out-of-state help to come to the Florida Capitol and help make their case.
Scott met with leaders of the activist group, the Dream Defenders, in the Capitol on Thursday night to hear their demands for a special legislative session to consider "The Trayvon Civil Rights Act," which would put an end to racial profiling by police, as well as repeal Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law.
[READ: AG Strongly Criticizes Stand-Your-Ground Laws]
Scott told the protesters he was against racial profiling but would not call for changes to the Stand Your Ground law, which allows the use of deadly force in self-defense without a requirement to retreat, NBC reports. In a statement, Scott said he "also reminded them of their right to share their views with their state legislators."
Steven Pargett, a spokesman for Dream Defenders, said that wasn't good enough. On Friday morning, according to Pargett, the group was working to gather protesters from across Tallahassee, including 80 members of the local Boys and Girls Club, as well as supporters from other cities.
[DEBATE CLUB: Are 'Stand Your Ground' Laws a Good Idea?]
"What's been going on in the state has shown it's not safe for us to get out in the streets," he said. "So we are hyper amping up our outreach – in Tallahassee, our chapters throughout the state, and different cities. There's going to be a lot more people. ... We've got a lot of friends."
The Dream Defenders formed in response to the "not guilty" verdict on Saturday for George Zimmerman in the shooting death of black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, which sparked a national conversation over Stand Your Ground laws and racial profiling.

Bachman's memory kept alive through stocking drive
Donations sought for troops overseas.
Donations sought for troops overseas.
By KELTON BROOKS
While U.S. troops are overseas serving our country, some residents of southwest Kansas are doing services of their own by sending stuffed stockings to troops in support of the Travis Bachman Memorial Christmas Stocking Drive.
When Robin Witzke's husband, Bill, and Amber Bachman-Wilson's husband, Travis, were deployed to Iraq in 2006 and 2007 serving in the Kansas Army National Guard, they wanted to let their husbands and other members of the Army know that they were not forgotten during the holidays.
But on Aug. 1, 2007, tragedy struck when Bachman, who was from Garden City, was killed in action.
"We have been receiving overwhelming support in southwest Kansas and continued the stocking drive in the memory of Travis," said Witzke, who has been preparing for the 7th Annual Travis Bachman Memorial Christmas Drive.
Witzke said more than 500 stockings were sent to Iraq during the first year of the stocking drive in 2006, and it makes "people aware of the legitimate cause for a very good cost."
She asks that people bring purchased or handmade items such as individual packets of soup, cider, cocoa or coffee, peanuts, mixed nuts, cashews and beef jerky, other nonperishable food items, AT&T phone cards, DVD's or CD's, toiletries, AA batteries, magazines, wet wipes, hand sanitizer and a signed Christmas card addressed to a service member.
She also asks that people bring $3 per stocking to help cover shipping costs, and checks are accepted and should be made payable to: We Support our Troops.
All items are to be dropped off in Christmas stockings between 5 and 8 p.m. Monday at the American Legion Hall, 405 S. Main St.
"The community keeps believing, and they want to let the troops know they are thinking about them and want to send a small appreciation for what they are doing for our country and keep Travis' memory alive," Witzke said.

Alstom and Bombardier signed separate agreements with China's Ministry of Railways (MoR) aimed at strengthening their strategic partnership in the development of various products and systems, including rolling stock and signaling solutions applied in mainline and regional railways for the market in China and internationally.
Bombardier's agreement calls for further collaboration on the development of the existing high-speed and very high-speed product platforms and extending this cooperation to other platforms, if and when needed, such as regional trains.
The agreement also establishes China Railway Signal and Communication Corp. as a strategic partner for Bombardier's signaling systems, to jointly develop signaling products in order to meet the requirements of China and international markets.
Meanwhile, Alstom will work with the MoR and its Chinese industry partners to jointly design, develop and promote advanced railway products and solutions, — based on the current EMU and locomotive platforms — which meet requirements of both domestic and international markets, leveraging the respective strengths of the parties concerned.
The agreement will contribute to gear Alstom's future position on the huge Chinese market, while boosting the partnership in agreed international markets.

Thank you for your service and I am sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Even in peace, we loose service members because of the nature of what it takes to be ready when war comes. I hope when the current conflicts end, our nation continues to thank those train, endure isolation from their family and do basically dangerous work so that our nation is secure. But until those wars are behind us, never let a day pass with out praying for those men and women and their families.86 911 Porsche Carrera

My condolences to you in the loss of a "brother."
And to his family, and extended military family, for their loss.
It's never "easy" and you never get used to it.
As a former Coastie, and retired law enforcement officer, I've lost way more than a "few" close friends, shipmates, and patrol partners.
Hang in there my young friend, stand strong in the face of adversity, and do his memory proud by continuing to do your best!
Thanks for your service my friend.

Call for Submissions: Erotic Detective StoriesBy nklaus. Filed in News & Notes |
Tags: call for submissions
Searching out secrets and uncovering what's hidden, detectives have been a staple of literature for centuries. Speculative fiction is no exception–from noir-descended private eyes in cyberpunk and urban fantasy, to police procedurals featuring special supernatural crime-solving divisions, to historical investigators using the latest steampunk technologies to solve the mystery. We want stories about all of these and more–and the erotic adventures they have on their way to cracking the case. Do they fall for femmes (or hommes) fatales? Do they employ some unorthodox methods to get information out of a suspect or a witness? Do they find themselves growing closer to their partner in crime-solving?
Submission deadline is 5/15/2013.
All sexualities and gender expressions are welcomed.
This ebook anthology is being edited by Nikola Klaus, editor of Like a Midsummer Night: Erotic Shakespeare.
For submission details, read on.
Length: Our preferred length is approximately 3500 to 7500 words, but we will consider the range from 2000 to 10,000 words.
How to Submit: All submissions must be made via email to Nikola Klaus, editor, at the following address: email@example.com
Submissions sent to other addresses/other editors at Circlet Press will not be considered. Standard manuscript formatting rules apply even though sending as an attachment (MS Word .doc or .rtf preferred). Please note that this means your name, address, and email contact must appear on the manuscript itself and not simply in your email message. (If you're not sure what standard short story submission format should look like, Google is your friend.)
No simultaneous submissions (that is, don't also send your story elsewhere at the same time, and don't send it to multiple Circlet editors, either), and no multiple submissions to the same book. One story per author per anthology, thanks.
All stories must include explicit sexuality and erotic focus. Romantic content is welcome, but in a short story remember to keep the details on the action and its effects on the main character's internal point of view. We favor a strong, singular narrative voice (no 'head hopping' or swapping between different character's points of view within a scene). For more details on our editorial preferences, see the general submission guidelines on circlet.com. We highly recommend reading the guidelines, especially the "do not send" list, to increase your chances of sending us something we'll love. Try to avoid cliches. Fresh and direct language is preferred to overly euphemistic. Sex-positive, please, no rape/nonconsensuality/necrophilia or other purposefully gross topics. We do not publish horror.
Originals only, no reprints. We purchase first rights for inclusion in the ebook anthology for $25, with the additional rights to a print edition later which would also be paid $25 if a print edition happens. Authors retain the rights to the individual stories; Circlet exercises rights to the anthology as a whole.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defences and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is an Action/Adventure video game for PlayStation 2 developed by Electronic Arts and published by WB Games on July 1, 2009. It's rated Everyone-10 by the ESRB and 48 of our users have voted it 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Our newest cheats for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were added December 3, 2010. We also have the game available on PC, Nintendo DS, PSP, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, in addition to PS2.
Enter at the Rewards menu "Down, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Down, Down, Right, Down, Left" If you enter it correctly it should say 'You have Unlocked Everything'.
Enter right right down down left right left right left right START at the rewards menu.
Enter at the Rewards menu "Down, Left, Left, Left, Left, Left, Down, Down, Right, Down, Left" If you enter it correctly it should say 'You have Unlocked Everything'.
Pretego can be used more than just braking spells, it can be used to reflect spells like fully charged stupefy, levicorpas, petrificus totalus, and if used at exactly the right moment expelliarmus. For really great timing and accuracy, start charging for stupefy, then move away for more time and let go the moment any powerful spell starts coming toward you.
(this hint only works in story mode). When you're in story mode, during a night mission, like visiting the astronomy tower looking for mcgonagall, go to the quidditch pitch at night go to practice board , choose any practice and you'll fly around at nighttime (harder to see).

Hi Kathy,
You often mention in your blog that you use sharpies.
1. With that many sharpies - don't the fumes bother you and the kids.
2. Are you buying sharpies in bulk? It seems that you would be going though them rather quickly, and if so who do you purchase them from?
Thank you for all the great ideas.

Hi Mylien,
That's a good question about the markers, but I haven't had any problem with the smell. As for purchasing, I like to buy the black fine tip ones at Costco, and the brush tip ones at misterart.com. Thanks!

About EXCITE
What is Epidemiology?
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health problems in specified populations and applying the learned information to control the health problems. It is the scientific method of problem solving used by "disease detectives"—epidemiologists, laboratory scientists, statisticians, physicians and other health care providers, and public health professionals—to get to the root of health problems in a community, whether the problem is a measles outbreak on a small college campus or a global influenza pandemic, an increase in homicide in a single community, a national surge in violence, or a localized or widespread rise in cancer.
Like investigators at the scene of a crime, disease detectives begin by looking for clues. They systematically gather information about what happened—Who is sick? What are their symptoms? When did they get sick? Where could they have been exposed to the illness? Using statistical analysis, investigators study the answers to these questions to find out how a particular health problem was introduced into a community.
Disease detectives then use what they have learned to prevent further illness. For example, when in 1993 more than 200 people in Washington State developed similar gastrointestinal symptoms, investigators traced the illnesses to undercooked hamburgers from a fast-food chain. Warnings to cook beef until it is no longer pink halted the outbreak and prevented further transmission.

After nearly eight months, Glasgow's chief of police position has been filled.
Guy J. Turcotte will head up the Glasgow Police Department. The announcement was made Friday afternoon during a press conferrence at Glasgow City Hall.
Turcotte comes to Glasgow from the Florida panhandle where he worked as an auxiliary police officer for the city of Cottondale, which is near Panama City. He has more than 20 years of law enforcement experience, during five of those years he served as police chiefs for various agencies in Florida and Nebraska.
"I'm very happy to be here," Turcotte said during the press conference.
He chose to apply for the job because he was looking for more of a family-oriented community for his family.
"After meeting your mayor and people here we just fell in love with the place," he said.
Turcotte is originally from Boston, but has spent most of his law enforcement career in Florida.
Turcotte is no stranger to Kentucky.
"In the '70s I lived in Hopkinsville about two cities over," he said.
One of the first things he would like to do as the city's new police chief is meet the Glasgow Police Department's officers and staff, and get their input on what is going on with the agency, he said.
"I've been reading the papers and I've been seeing a lot of stuff. We are going to move this into a positive image for the police department," he said. "We're going to review everything that happens within the agency and if it needs to be changed for the better, we will do that."
Turcotte fills a vacancy previously held by Horace Johnson, of Scottsville. Johnson resigned in August 2010. Since then Lt. Col. James Duff and Lt. Col. Kent Keen have been serving as interim co-chiefs.
The city received 29 applications from eight states, with a majority of them coming from Kentucky. Of the 29 applicants, only two came from within the Glasgow Police Department.
Mayor Rhonda Trautman would not disclose who from within the department had applied for the job.
"Actually, we have been told we don't have to tell who they were ... I don't want to violate anyone's privacy on that," she said.
Eight of the 29 applicants were interviewed by the selection committee, which was composed of Trautman, City Attorney Ben Rogers, Councilman Freddie Norris and retired state trooper Tommy Pendleton.
Trautman said the committee looked at candidates from both inside the state as well as outside the state and said where the candidates hailed from had no bearing on the committee's decision.
The committee chose Turcotte based on his law enforcement experience, specifically his experience in municipal policing and his work with previous small towns, his training and educational background and his personality, she said.
"We think he has the right personality to come in and be welcomed by the department. I think he will work well with the upper leadership [of the police department] and I think he will be a very good, positive force on our younger officers," Trautman said.
She told the large audience that the committee decided early on to take its time in choosing someone for the job.
"We had a very, very strong list of candidates, and that was what was so difficult," she said. "So after a lot of work on the committee's part and discussion, we decided on the candidate that we felt would suit the department at this point and time in our community to help us make our department the best it possibly can be."
Trautman commended Duff and Keen on the good job they have done running the department as interim co-chiefs.
"They have done an outstanding job. They have been very welcoming of me. They've answered every silly question I've asked and helped me in this whole process," she said. "I am happy to have them in the department. We are fortunate to have such strong leadership."
Among the first to meet Turcotte was Deputy Mike Houchens with the Barren County Sheriff's Office.
After shaking hands and speaking briefly with him, Houchens said, "He's a very confident person. It's good to see that the mayor and the council and the selection committee has made a decision on somebody and it's a good idea to bring somebody in from the outside and give them a different perspective. The police department is a wonderful department. We look forward to working with him as a department. I believe he will be open to that. I'm just excited for him and hope everything works out for him."
Keen also met with Turcotte briefly and said his first impression of his new boss is that he seems to be a good listener. Keen said he is eager to learn what direction the department will take under Turcotte's leadership.
He continued he would like to see Turcotte improve the law enforcement image in the community and continue community support programs.
"Those are programs that yielded a lot of community support and public relations in the community in the past and I feel like he will do that," Keen said.

The lead editorial in today's Buffalo News -- "Stand behind local hopes" -- argues that state assistance for economic development projects in Buffalo and Niagara Falls needs to go ahead, even in times of economic woes. Especially in times of economic woes.
The taxpayers of the state of New York should not assist long-term economic development in Buffalo and Niagara Falls as an act of kindness. Or even as recompense for years of neglect.
They should do it as a way of balancing the state's economic base, so that future dips, hiccups and disasters on Wall Street might be at least somewhat balanced by a Western New York economy, an economy that is in turn balanced across pillars of tourism, education, health care, green energy and agriculture, among others.
[Gov. David Paterson, after some scary loose lips earlier in the week, said as much during a visit to Buffalo Thursday.]
The second editorial -- "Establish planning board" -- supports efforts by members of the Erie County Legislature, and others, to create a county planning board to review the county's overall growth patterns and help the smaller communities build a logical set of standards that developers can count on when planning projects.
All of which seems really kind of petty next to today's My View. Charles Burgin [left] remembers the murder of his brother, 15 years ago, and what it says about life in modern urban America.
To date, I have participated in more than 100 prayer vigils, assisting many families while also attending more than 100 funerals. I started seeing a pattern of disgust. Homicide after fratricide, the community would become temporarily enraged, then it was business as usual until the next murder. Unified leadership for "real" change is AWOL.
And, in Another Voice, the president of the New York State Public Employees Federation, Ken Brynien, argues that the state should preserve its juvenile facilities.

CHAPEL HILL — Just call him Mr. November.
That's what the Blue Devils do when referring to redshirt freshman safety DeVon Edwards.
It was on Nov. 9 that Edwards had a career day against N.C. State, with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and interceptions on back-to-back passes in the fourth quarter that both went for scores. After that win, media members joked with him that he should look for himself on ESPN's Sports Center.
"Think so?" He had said then, serious as can be.
Saturday at North Carolina, Edwards added to his highlight reel in Duke's 27-25 ACC Coastal Division-clinching win. He had another kickoff return, this one for 99 yards. And it was his interception with 13 seconds left that sealed the win. Edwards also added a pass breakup and eight tackles, six of them solo.
As a part of Duke's defense, Edwards' ascension is an accurate representative for the whole. Through the month of September, he had played just 83 snaps, recorded four tackles and fielded one kickoff. But as the season went on, he and the rest of the Blue Devils found their groove.
His ability was always there, as coach David Cutcliffe said every time the staff watched film on him in high school he was scoring off another return. As coverages were simplified, his knowledge of the defense grew, and that natural ability began to show.
"There are some things you can't teach," said Ross Cockrell, who has served as a pseudo-assistant coach for the young secondary players like Edwards, Breon Borders, Deondre Singleton and Bryon Fields. "DeVon is about 5-foot-8, and he can dunk with two hands."
The kickoff job became his full time when Johnell Barnes broke his hand in a bar fight in early October. A month later, he ran one back against N.C. State.
This one against the Tar Heels Saturday was even bigger. Jamison Crowder had just muffed a punt, and that led directly to eight UNC points. With less than two minutes before halftime, Edwards fielded the kick and instantly gave Duke back the lead, 17-15.
"The guys in the press box said that was about as pretty as you could block it," Cutcliffe said. "I can't wait to see that on tape, but it was a huge momentum team in the ball game.
"They're a great return team, a lot has been said about that" Cutcliffe said, referring to UNC's Ryan Switzer, "And we feel like we're a great return team, too."
Switzer was held in check, as he only had one chance to return a punt, and that was snuffed out by Duke for just a 5-yard gain in the fourth quarter.
Later in the final quarter, when Duke's defense is always at its best, Edwards came up big again, intercepting a Marquise Williams pass at the Duke 29-yard line with 13 seconds left. The Tar Heels had been driving, and Williams converted a fourth down with a 10-yard scramble just two plays earlier to get the Tar Heels across midfield. But on second-and-10, Williams was pressured by Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo and threw up a ball that wound up in Edwards' hands.
"He just kind of threw a little duck simply to me, and I knew I just had to catch it," Edwards said. "I was patient, and I just let it come down to me, and I just fell because I knew the game was over."
He didn't quite fall fast enough for Cutcliffe's liking at the time – the 8-yard return was 8 yards too many at the time ("Don't be having flashbacks to scoring," Cutcliffe joked after the game). But once again, it was Mr. November coming up big for Duke.
Now the Blue Devils just need that to carry over into December.

When she leaves her post as Hyattsville's City Administrator, Elaine Murphy will return to what she calls home – California and her family.
Although the date isn't certain – Murphy and her husband own a home in a neighboring community and will need to sell it before moving west – it likely will be in the coming months.
"I'm sad to say it's an end of a part of who I am," said Murphy, who's been at her post with the city for 11 years. "But it's time for me to be a part of my family."
As she has been thinking about spending time with her two sons, stepdaughter and three grandchildren, Murphy has also been busy thinking about other things - like city roads and infrastructure and commercial annexation and residential development.
Although many have been involved in the growth that Hyattsville has seen in the past decade, Murphy has spearheaded much of what has turned the city into a mini–boomtown. One of her self-dubbed greatest accomplishments is the annexation of the East-West Highway corridor, including the Mall at Prince George's.
"Everybody said it couldn't be done," she said.
Since then, the city has received tax payments from the businesses included in the annexation.
"Based on the 2001 estimate that was completed prior to annexation, the additions would add $700,000 in income," said Abby Sandel, the city's communications director.
That figure was before additions like Mosaic at Metro and Post Park were built and the resulting figures have been substantially higher, Sandel said.
Mayor William Gardiner also noted Murphy's work on the mall annexation as one of her key legacies. The annexations, he said, allowed the city to make necessary capital investments and to expand services.
"Elaine strengthened and maintained excellent relations with county and state officials," he said. "The city has successfully obtained a number of grants due to her efforts."
During Murphy's tenure, the city has also worked to build a positive image among its peers. Cluttered signage and graffiti have been removed at her direction.
"We have to make sure our face is one that … the people who live here are comfortable with and are proud of," she said.
One of her most challenging jobs was development of the former city hall on Jefferson Street. The site now boasts a HIP artists apartment building, and there are also talks of a YMCA coming.
"[It was a] problem to maintain the building," she said of the location before redevelopment, adding that people would put wires down into flooded areas of the building.
As for her eventual replacement, Murphy said the person should be educated in finance and human resources but also be patient.
"They have to recognize that whatever one person says may not be the actual reality," she said.
According to the city's Web site, the ideal candidate should be familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of annexation processes. "The Mayor and City Council are seeking a candidate from a well-managed city who views himself/herself as a contemporary, proactive and consistent manager who values excellence in city governance," the site says.
Her legacy will live on in projects like EYA's mixed-use development on U.S. Route 1, Post Properties and the maintenance of city parks.
"I'm only one piece of what has been done with [the city]," she said. "We're in a uniquely positive place.
"I'm really very proud of where the city is, and I'm sure that the person who comes in will have [many] things to do."

Celebs Make Coachella A Star-Studded Event
Posted on Mon Apr 16, 2012 07:00 AM PDT
Despite the heavy downpour on Friday, the stars still came out in droves to party for three days straight at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival last weekend, and we're LOVING their looks!
Paris Hilton looked gypsy-chic in a colorful flowing maxi skirt, a sexy white bra top and drool-worthy turquoise jewelry as she stuck close to her new man, DJ Afrojack, and they were even spotted making out at the concert!
Emma Roberts, Gerard Butler (in the DJ booth!) and Mischa Barton were also among the many A-listers who made the trip down to the desert to party and play, but party producer Brent Bolthouse threw the most exclusive bash of the entire weekend. Bolthouse rented out an entire airplane hanger to throw his annual Neon Carnival party on Saturday night, which even included a neon ferris wheel.
We vote Paris Best Dressed celeb at Coachella this year!

Get your fix of fresh produce treated with care in the centre of the CBD
You might have walked past this restaurant/wine bar before - it's just near David Jones on Elizabeth Street and is completely missable if you don't know to look for it. Persist, though, and take a seat; you won't be sorry. Chef Sam Bennett used to work at Glebe Point Diner and it shows in the beautiful, fresh and interesting produce he uses, and his confident, less-is-more approach.
Zucchini flowers are crisp and light, dusted with feathers of parmesan and served with a cheek of lemon. They're great way to start the meal and they come in sets of two and four.
Order the Quick Fix – a fixed price menu of five dishes to share which are chosen by the chef. It's only $49 so not only is it great value but it also takes the hassle out of ordering if you're with a group. Make sure to order the pork T-bone with cabbage and potatoes slathered in mustard, and the salad of super luscious tomato, buffalo mozzarella and fine slivers of anchovy. Orecchiette with pangrattato, basil sauce and fine slices of baby zucchini with a light shave of parmesan is exceptional.
The service is a highlight and the wine list, put together by owner and restaurant manager Stuart Knox is well worth a nudge, with plenty by the glass and flask in case you don't want to commit to a bottle.
You needn't order heaps of food here - it's just as cool to order a few plates to share. But if you do want to go the whole hog, there's plenty on the menu to keep you occupied such as the tagliata - at $35 it's not super-cheap, but it is sensational. Slices of blushing scotch fillet are tossed with a crumble of great parmesan, a few scanty leaves of rocket and some of the world's tastiest roast potatoes (how can you go wrong when they're cooked in duck fat? Bliss). And look out for the daily specials including a carpaccio of swordfish, a half roast duck with figs and (three cheers!) sardines on toast.
It's perfect for a Friday wind-down session, pitched just right for the after-work crowd and serious food enthusiasts alike. Get your Fix.
Stuart Knox, owner, restaurant manager and sommelier, is a big fan of the natural, the fizzy, the weird and the outrageous when it comes to wines. The more skin contact, the better. The list is prodigious, to say the least. So do what we do, and just talk to the floor team. They're all well equipped to deal with everyone, from Bordeaux huffers to NZ sav blanc freaks to total wine noobs. And they approach everyone with the same amount of joy and enthusiasm. All the wines on the first page are available by the glass, flask or bottle – perfect if you can't decide or just want to try a few different things – and they even do their own house juice. Order a litre of their South Australian cabernet or WA savignon blanc for just $40 a pop. They even do a handful of cocktails if you're thirsty for booze. Food-wise, you can either go for a few snacks (brandade croquettes, olives, cured meats) or something heftier, such as the cloud-like gnocchi with rich lamb ragu. Fix also do a killer steak and chips. Of course, you needn't eat anything at all if you don't feel like it – you can just as easily stop by for a litre of wine and some friendly conversation.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — The NT police need to start breaking up the drug houses on Oliver Street that have replaced all the bars that have closed. Drug addiction is just as bad as alcohol addiction. Come on NT, get out of your cars and do some work. You're getting paid.
That person in the paper about the gun control, well listen. I think it must be a lady any how. If we ever had to overthrow the government or they tried to overthrow the people, and we are stuck with shotguns and they have semi-automatics, how are we supposed to put down a tyranny? That is why the second amendment was made. For that reason alone! If you can't understand that from foreign countries lady, or man, you better just put down your pen and stop writing in the paper. Because you don't understand anything.
This is for Mr.Obama. Didn't you ever hear of using the Internet instead of travelling all over the country to give your message to some other state? It's real easy, you just type it in. You can even go online and show your face and talk to them person to person. You don't have to spend millions of dollars travelling state to state, wasting taxpayer money, because you don't like to sit in your office.
This guy in the paper has been charged for a third offense for child molestation and kidnapping. Isn't it three strikes and you're out? I hope this judge is nice enough, and smart enough, to put this guy in a prison.
They sit and say on how Obama is spending our kids' piggy bank money. Well you're wrong. He is spending our great-grandchildren's kids' money. You gotta get it right. He doesn't have a clue. He thinks there is gold at the end of the rainbow. He's an delusional president. He should be kicked out of office. And get rid of Cuomo too, he's another problem.
The politicians, including the president, can't seem to get things right to get the economy rolling. In other words, make money. The best way for them to learn how to make money is get ahold of some of the drug cartels in Mexico and South America. And maybe they can tell them how to make some real money. Because they sure as heck seem to know how to make money, and lot's of it!
When I was a kid, International Paper Mill was our casino. In the 1950's when you turned 18 you got a chance to work at the mill or to work on the lock boats. Eighteen year olds, their dads worked at the paper mill, and they would stand outside in line for an opportunity to unload the lock boats. Had a cafeteria in there, and right out of school we started working. You could go to Joseph's Lumber, the paper mill and there were all kinds of opportunities. All the guys used to cash their checks and drink in bars. It was fun.

TRAVERSE CITY — Bruce Arlo Thomet, 69, of Traverse City, passed away on May 27, 2011, at Munson Medical Center, with his loving wife, Myra, and daughter, Josie, holding his hands.
Bruce and Myra were married on Oct. 25, 1959; they shared 51 1/2 years together and have four children, Randy (Sylvia) Thomet, of Tennessee, Todd, from Coldwater, their daughter, Deeana Lynn, passed away in 1983 of cancer at 17-years-old, and their youngest child, Josie (Rick) Rousseau, of Traverse City. There are nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Bruce is also survived by his sister, Sherry, of Kalamazoo.
Bruce was a truck driver for Yellow Freight Systems out of Marshall for 20 years. In 1985 Bruce and Myra purchased the Clam River Dockside on Torch Lake. They enjoyed owning and operating the bar/restaurant until they retired and moved to Traverse City.
Bruce enjoyed spending time with his family and friends; he always had a story to share or a joke to tell. He seemed to make friends wherever he went. He loved deer hunting, fishing and morel mushrooming. He was rarely bored as he kept busy with his many hobbies and projects.
Bruce was preceded in death by an infant niece, Krista Caye Kolodizieizyck; his brother, Terry; his beautiful daughter, DeeDee; his parents, Arlo and Eleanor Thomet; and his mother and father-in-law, Juanita and the Reverend Hubert Johnston.
Bruce had made arrangements to donate his body to science. He hoped to give back to the medical community that had done everything possible for his daughter, DeeDee, during her courageous battle with cancer at the University of Michigan's Mott's Children's Hospital in 1981 to 1983.
His family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to his many doctors and nurses at Munson, as well as his personal physicians for all of the wonderful care Bruce had received over the years for his multiple medical problems, and finally, Science Care, that delicately and professionally cared for Bruce immediately after his death, along with the aftercare that has been given to his wife, Myra.

Übercaster: State of the Union
First of all, I'm very sorry for the lack of frequent Übercaster updates lately. Also I regret the stability problems some users have.
I'd like to explain some of the reasons for the recent slowdown on Übercaster's updates in a bit more detail:
First and frontmost I'd like to emphasize, that we didn't abandon Übercaster at all! We still support Übercaster, we still develop Übercaster, and we have exiting plans for Übercaster's future.
Übercaster v1.6.3 was supposed to be released back when Snow Leopard came out, providing full Snow Leopard compatibility.
Unfortunately some unexpected additional problems with v1.6.3 on Snow Leopard occurred, shortly before the official release. This is why there is still gist a beta of v1.6.3 available.
If you have not downloaded it yet please give it a try. I just released v1.6.3 beta 7 and, although it is still tagged as beta, it's probably much more stable than v1.6.2 (on Snow Leopard as well as on previous versions of Mac OS X).
You find a link to Übercaster v1.6.3 beta 7 on Übercaster's download page.
The best way to fix a lot of the current problems with Übercaster would be to completely overhaul its code base and switch to "Snow Leopard only".
Übercaster still runs on Tiger and this means that there is a lot legacy code in there, bloating up Übercaster's code base. This makes it very hard to maintain the code.
A lot of problems would just disappear by simply throwing all legacy code away and replace it with new technology provided by Snow Leopard. Of course, Übercaster would greatly benefit by being "Snow Leopard only": More lightweight, better performance, more stable and last but not least by providing a refined UI.
This has been (and still is!) exactly the plan for Übercaster:
- Release Übercaster v1.6.3 as a baseline for future bug fixes on the legacy code.
- Start the "Übercaster 2″ (Snow Leopard only) project.
Unfortunately there have been some unexpected obstacles and drawbacks in the last few view months.
A recent loss in the family definitely slowed things down. There are a lot of things to handle and even after most of them are done, it's definitely not easy to go "back to normal".
Then, the unexpected additional Snow Leopard problems mentioned above. This prevented us from releasing v1.6.3 so far (but we're close to a release now!).
Last but not least, we have unexpected success with one of our iPhone apps. Although this basically is a good thing, it increased the time-consuming process for handling support requests considerably. Unfortunately, this really took me by surprise and caught me straight to something that you could call a "support trap": More than 3/4 of my day I have been busy to handle support requests. So far, I've handled over 2500 support requests in 2009, most of them consisting at least 2 or 3 mails. There has been hardly enough time to do most basic bug fixing and updates.
We approach this problem by extending the "Pleasant Software Team" with a new member, dedicated to handle support requests.
We hope that this step lifts a lot of pressure off me in the long term and gives me much more time to advance Pleasant Software's projects.
Ok, that's it for now.
Sorry again for the lack of blog posts lately! That's another thing I try to find more time for…
And don't forget to check out Übercaster v1.6.3 beta7!

FirstEnergy sets dividend
FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) declared an unchanged quarterly dividend of 55 cents per share, payable June 1 to shareholders of record May 7.
Gilbert in Michigan deal
A company involving Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is moving closer to acquiring Detroit's Greektown Casino-Hotel.
Greektown Superholdings Inc., the casino's owner, announced that an agreement had been reached about the potential deal.
Gilbert has said a "significant investment" is planned in and around Greektown Casino-Hotel.
Rock Gaming's Athens Acquisition LLC entity is involved in the potential deal. Gilbert is chairman of Rock Gaming and founded Detroit-based Quicken Loans. Rock Gaming was formed in 2010 and partnered to develop Horseshoe Casino Cleveland and Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati.
The acquisition would be subject to approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board.
Gilbert's Rock Ventures LLC has bought up a number of downtown Detroit buildings. On Tuesday, it announced it had acquired the 23-story 1001 Woodward office tower.
Change in eBay policy
EBay Inc. is overhauling fees for sellers for the first time since 2010, seeking to reduce costs and make pricing less complicated as it competes with bigger rival Amazon.com Inc. for online merchants.
Fees will range from 4 to 10 percent, depending on the size of the seller and the type of products sold, according to Brian Hsu, eBay's senior director of pricing. The company will also stop charging sellers to list most items, he said.
Chief Executive Officer John Donahoe is taking steps to keep individuals and small businesses from gravitating toward Amazon, which boosted the number of items sold by outside sellers by more than 40 percent last quarter. The new structure is aimed at quelling criticism that eBay's pricing is overly complicated, and it follows steps taken last year that were designed to make it easier for consumers to shop on the site.
The new structure has many different tiers and varying monthly fees, depending on sales volume, and it remains somewhat complicated, e-commerce analyst Scot Wingo of ChannelAdvisor said. It's also a necessary step to compete with Amazon, which charges about 12 percent per transaction on average, he said.
EBay separates its sellers into two groups: consumer, or smaller merchants who may sporadically list a few items a month, and stores, which move higher volumes of merchandise.
Previously, the company charged consumer sellers 50 cents to list a product, and tacked on another fee tied to the final price after an item sold.
The new system assigns those merchants a flat fee of 10 percent, capped at $250, and as many as 50 free listings a month — which means no up-front cost for most, according to ChannelAdvisor.
Walgreen profits up
For the fiscal second quarter ended Feb. 28, Walgreen reported net income of $756 million, or 79 cents per share. That compares with $683 million, or 78 cents per share, in last year's quarter, when it had fewer shares outstanding. Excluding one-time items such as acquisition-related costs, adjusted earnings totaled 96 cents per share. Revenue came in flat at $18.65 billion. Analysts forecast, on average, earnings of 93 cents per share on $18.74 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
Hostess assets sold
Snack food maker Hostess Brands Inc. won approval of asset sales totaling more than $800 million. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in White Plains, N.Y., approved sales to Flowers Foods Inc., Grupo Bimbo SAB, Apollo Global Management LLC and C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. for most of Hostess' cake and bread brands.
Dow rises 3.76 points
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 3.76 points, or 0.03 percent, to close at 14,455.82.
Other major market indexes fell slightly. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 3.76 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,548.34. The Nasdaq composite fell 8.50 points, or 0.3 percent, to 3,229.10.
Among stocks in the news, Electronic Arts fell $1.56, or 8.3 percent, to $17.15 after the video game maker said its adjusted revenue fell 28 percent to $1.18 billion for the last three months of 2012. The figure was below Wall Street's expectations. CEO John Riccitiello will step down March 30.

Traditional potato latkes are a widely loved staple of the yearly Hanukkah feast. And what's not to love about hamburger-size hash browns topped with sour cream?
Still, wonderful as they are, latkes are not light. My re-design employs both sweet potatoes and the more traditional white potatoes, significantly reducing the amount of oil required to cook these bad boys. I also substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
Sweet potatoes, especially the intensely orange ones, are a terrific source of beta carotene. And despite their sweetness, sweet potatoes are not high in calories. But because they're also not very high in starch, they need a starch partner. Hence the white potatoes, along with a little egg, and some flour as a binder.
The ideal latke has a crisp crust with a moist interior. Traditionally, that crispness is achieved by frying in a lot of oil. Figuring out how to crisp up these latkes without a ton of oil was the hardest part of developing this recipe.
After much trial and error, I realized I could develop a satisfactory crust if I added a little oil to the skillet for each side of the pancakes.
I then finish them off in a 350 degree oven because the recipe's sweet potatoes, with their high sugar content, turn the latkes too dark if left on the stove for more than a few minutes.
What gives this recipe its Southwestern flavor? The combination of sweet potato and the chipotle in the yogurt topping. Sugar and chilies do a happy dance, balancing each other off. You can depend on these complementary flavors to make the dish just right. However, if you are not a fan of chilies, leave out the chipotle. Likewise, If you're not a fan of cilantro, substitute dill, parsley or chives.These Southwestern latkes also would be a great little side dish any time of the year.
SOUTHWESTERN LATKES WITH CHIPOTLE YOGURT 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled, grated and squeezed of moisture
3/4 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, grated and squeezed of moisture
2/3 cup finely chopped scallions
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1-2 teaspoons minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, or to taste
Pinch of sugar
Fresh cilantro, to garnish
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl combine sweet potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, scallions, eggs, flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a large nonstick skillet over high, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Reduce heat to medium and add 4 rounded 1/4-cup mounds of the potato mixture to the skillet, flattening each mound to a 31/2-inch circle. Cook latkes for 2 minutes, then turn them over and add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook, turning them several times, until golden on both sides, about another 4-6 minutes total.
Transfer latkes to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat the process with remaining potato mixture and oil. When all of the latkes have been browned, bake them on the middle shelf of the oven for 5 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. While latkes are baking, in a small bowl combine yogurt, chipotle, a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar. Stir well.
To serve, arrange 2 latkes on each of 6 serving plates. Top with a dollop of chipotle yogurt and a cilantro leaf.

Sprint Cup Preview: Subway Fresh Fit 500
Daytona is a magical place. During the final laps of the Daytona 500, we completely forget about the first 490 miles. And during this season's Great American Race, the first 490 were pretty easy to forget.

Ryan Newman only led 4 laps of the Goody's Fast Relief 500 on Sunday at the Martinsville Speedway, but those were to only 4 laps that really counted because they were the final 4 laps of the race.
Tony Stewart drove all day as he normally does and that's aggressive which got him in first place and then with 71 laps to go, Stewart got and un-expected gift from Mother Nature as the race was called due to rain and Stewart was named the winner the NASCAR Auto Club 400 at Fontana, California.
After winning the Food City 500 at the Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR's social media monster Brad Keselowski took to his twitter account to share his win with his tweeter followers. He twitted a serious of pictures of his car and himself during the event. Last night, Keselwski proved to the rest of us that he is not just a master of the hash-tag but also the ultimate winner at the Food City 500.

GEORGETOWN, Del.- One of the two men accused of shooting at homes of police officers in Delaware and on Maryland's Eastern Shore has been convicted by a jury of reckless endangerment and related charges.
David M. Watson, 24, of Laurel, was arrested by Delaware State Police following allegations that he used shotguns and rifles to fire shots at the homes of police officers who lived in Sussex County and Wicomico County, Md., in December 2012. No one was injured in any of the incidents.
Sgt. Clifford Dempsey of the Dewey Beach Police Department, who was one of the officers to have his home attacked, was in the courtroom as the jury read the verdict.
"In our hearts, my family and I believe the criminal justice system did its job and provided us with justice," said Dempsey.
On Friday, instead of convicting Watson of attempted murder, a Sussex County Superior Court jury found him guilty of a lesser charge: reckless endangerment. He was also convicted of possession of a firearm during the commission of a firearm, conspiracy and criminal mischief.
"The evidence was overwhelming," said Judge T. Henley Graves.Watson had pleaded not guilty, unlike his alleged partner, 21-year-old Orrin Joudrey of Delmar, Md. who was handed a 15-year prison sentence for charges of gun possession, conspiracy, among others.

Although still playing at Under-17 level, Flamengo youngster Douglas Baggio has been writing headlines across Brazil all year, having scored 72 goals in 53 games in 2012, drawing close attention from the likes of European champions Chelsea.
Douglas, 17, helped his Flamengo side to the Carioca (Rio de Janeiro state) championship earlier in the year, scoring 46 goals in the process, but insists that he is ready to step up to Under-20 level in the next couple of weeks as the national championship gets underway in Brazil.
Named after the Italian great whose penalty miss helped Brazil win the World Cup in 1994, the second-striker is hopeful that a good showing in that tournament and January's Copa São Paulo youth tournament at the same level will propel him into first-team consideration next season.
"This year was great for me. I want to finish it on a high note," the youngster told Globo Esporte. "I won the Under-17 state championship and was top scorer with 46 goals. Now my focus is on Under-20 level.
"I will move up with respect for my team-mates, but I need to seek my place also. The Brasileirão Under-20 and the Copa São Paulo are watched closely by the first-team coaches."
Douglas, who has already trained with the first-team at Flamengo, arrived at the club in 2010 having started his career at Santa Cruz in his hometown of Recife.
With his performances and individual accolades over the past year, the youngster has quickly become a recognised name across Europe, with Chelsea reportedly joined by Barcelona and Real Madrid in monitoring the youngster's progress.
