HOLLYWOOD — "Moon" does something extraordinary: It seems familiar and derivative, yet upends your expectations about science fiction and surprises you over and over. Melancholy and mesmerizing, equal parts mystery and character drama, it keeps you guessing until the end.
The intelligent, assured debut from director Duncan Jones — David Bowie's son, though we won't have to describe him in terms of his famous father for much longer — harkens to the fundamentals of the genre, in which people and provocative ideas mattered more than shiny gadgets and splashy effects. The fact that it's anchored by a subtle yet powerful performance from Sam Rockwell in two separate roles — he's practically the entire cast — is a prime example of this back-to-basics approach.
Rockwell stars as Sam Bell, an astronaut in the near future living in a station on the far side of the moon. He's about to wrap up his three-year contract mining helium, the Earth's main energy source, and he's eager to get home to his wife and little girl.
One day, amid his daily routine, he starts seeing and hearing things and his health begins to deteriorate. The base's computer, Gerty (voiced by Kevin Spacey), listens and tries to be sympathetic, tries to assuage him. But then another version of Sam arrives: younger, fitter, more organized and businesslike.
The character itself provides much of the film's allure (Nathan Parker wrote the script from Jones' story idea): Is this a clone? Or is the second Sam a figment of his imagination, a product of his isolation? You can interpret it any number of ways; "Moon" obviously has some heady, philosophical ideas about identity and individual purpose on its mind.
Rockwell pulls off the impressive balancing act of creating two distinct people, yet melding their shared traits as parts of a whole. You really feel for both of them and the confusing situation in which they've found themselves. And for a low-budget movie, the effects are seamless when the two Sams interact, such as a Ping-Pong game or a knock-down, drag-out fight.

'Moon' a haunting sci-fi tale
HOLLYWOOD — "Moon" does something extraordinary: It seems familiar and derivative, yet upends your expectations about science fiction and surprises you over and over. Melancholy and mesmerizing, equal parts mystery and character drama, it keeps you guessing until the end.
- At the Movies
- Mel Gibson returns in 'Edge of Darkness' It's been seven years since his last film, but Mel Gibson is still playing martyr. One might fairly call Gibson "The Crusader," and not just because of his widely known religious views or because he directed "The Passion of the Christ."
- 'Saint John of Las Vegas' no divine comedy The deadpan comedy "Saint John of Las Vegas" opens with Steve Buscemi walking into a Vegas convenience store, plopping down an envelope full of cash and asking for a thousand lottery tickets. "Why not?" he asks with a mixture of defiance and despair.
- FILM REVIEW: 'Tooth Fairy' full of smiles, clichés Just weeks after something dubbed a "squeakquel," we have a movie advertised with the tagline: "You can't handle the tooth." One quakes for the marketing that awaits us for "Marmaduke."
- Vampire thriller 'Daybreakers' is DOA The only lesson to take away from Ethan Hawke's horror-action tale "Daybreakers" is that vampires cannot run the world's affairs any better than we tasty humans can.
- Effects wow but story limps in 'Avatar' When a film brashly asserts that it will change moviemaking forever, one feels the urge to either take its "king of the world" arrogance down a notch or hail it as the masterpiece it claims to be.
- 'Ninja Assassin' sports a dull blade When considering the meager merits of the bone-snapping, blood-splattered "Ninja Assassin," it's best to remember the words of John Goodman's PC-challenged character in "The Big Lebowski": "The man in the black pajamas, Dude. Worthy ... adversary."
- 'Princess and the Frog' is a hearty hop The spirit of animation maestro Walt Disney lives on. The studio has gone back to its roots with a fresh, funny retelling of a classic fairy tale in "The Princess and the Frog," Disney's return to hand-drawn animation after a five-year hiatus.
- Wildness intact, 'Bad Lieutenant' returns It's post-Katrina New Orleans and there are snakes in the water — none bigger than Terence McDonagh, an exceptionally corrupt detective, who slinks through town snorting coke, smoking heroin, harassing women and brandishing a .44 Magnum stuffed in the front of his pants.
'Planet 51' proves unable to support intelligent life
It's been a big year for animation, with a great variety of styles represented by "Up," "Monsters vs. Aliens," "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and the upcoming "The Princess and the Frog."
- 'The Blind Side' focuses on the feel-good The redemption-minded sports flick "The Blind Side" serves its inspiration straight-up with no twist. Writer-director John Lee Hancock wisely lets the true story of Michael Oher — the African-American teen who found a home and, eventually, football stardom, after being adopted by a wealthy Memphis family — speak for itself.
- Army drama 'Messenger' delivers fitfully It's an unenviable task, making films about the war on terror for audiences that don't want to sit through dramatizations of the same bad news they get for real out of Iraq and Afghanistan.
- 'Gentlemen Broncos' a saddle-sore mess "Gentlemen Broncos" is a comedy so weird, so off, so simply wrong that even freakish hero Napoleon Dynamite would have a hard time lending it his catch word, "Sweet."
- Gorgeous 'Where the Wild Things Are' roars to the screen "Where the Wild Things Are," the book, is just 339 words long. But in turning it into "Where the Wild Things Are," the movie, director Spike Jonze has expanded the basic story with a breathtaking visual scheme and stirring emotional impact.
- Sheen shines in the gritty 'Damned United' You don't have to be a soccer expert, or even know all that much about the sport, to get sucked into the competing personalities and personal dramas of "The Damned United.
- Showmanship Moore's top commodity in 'Capitalism' How do you make a movie about the country's current economic crisis and actually get people to see it? Two obstacles most obviously arise: illustrating such a potentially dry subject in a compelling way, and persuading audiences to pay money for information they can get at home — and feel depressed about — for free.
- 'Reasonable Doubt' like '80s TV movie Beyond its generic, forgettable title, "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" feels like some throwaway 1980s TV movie, with its implausible premise, dizzying twists, cheesy montages and melodramatic score.
- '9' is breathtakingly original Despite their roughhewn appearance, the resourceful rag dolls in "9'' obviously were crafted with great love and care, both by the scientist who made them in the film and the mastermind behind them in real life, director Shane Acker.
- 'Extract' tastes too bland Ten years ago, Mike Judge satirized the absurdities of the workplace experience from the perspective of put-upon employees with "Office Space." It didn't do much when it came out but, as we all know by now, it became a cult favorite on cable and home video, to the point where it changed the way you looked at the common stapler.
- Big Fan' a vivid portrait of sports geekdom Jim Rome urges his listeners (or "clones," as he so lovingly calls them) to have solid takes, to bring it, when they dial into his sports talk radio show.
- Quentin Tarantino's new movie has its glorious moments If only Quentin Tarantino the director weren't so completely in love with Quentin Tarantino the writer, "Inglourious Basterds" might have been a great movie rather than just a good movie with moments of greatness.
- No go: Paramount won't show critics 'G.I. Joe' It's the biggest movie of the summer that practically no one has seen. "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isn't screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand. Only a select few writers from blogs and movie Web sites have seen it for review — such as Harry Knowles, the self-professed "Head Geek" from Ain't It Cool News — and their opinions have been mostly positive.
- 'People' is both funny, frustrating If only Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen hadn't gotten in the car. If only they hadn't left Los Angeles, where everything in "Funny People" was going so well, and driven north to Marin County, where everything falls apart. Judd Apatow would have had his most mature, accomplished film to date.
- 'G-Force' topples 'Harry Potter' at box office An elite squad of guinea pigs has worked its own brand of magic at the box office, taking the No. 1 spot from boy wizard Harry Potter.
- 'The Ugly Truth,' battle-of-the-sexes romantic comedy, that isn't pretty t the end of the drearily formulaic romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth," as our two leads are finally admitting they've fallen for each other (no spoilers here, folks), Katherine Heigl's character asks Gerard Butler's why he's in love with her. Basically, he says he has no idea, only he phrases it with a word we can't reprint here. Our sentiments exactly.
- 'Shrink' showcases Kevin Spacey's strengths Say what you will about some of Kevin Spacey's more questionable choices over the past decade, movies like "Pay It Forward," "K-PAX," "The Life of David Gale" and his labor-of-love Bobby Darin biopic, "Beyond the Sea." When he's on — when he has strong dialogue to work with and solid actors to play off of — he's got a presence and a command that are tough to beat.
- New 'Harry Potter' goes to head of class Harry Potter has kept his fans waiting for two years, the longest school break they have had to endure for a new movie adventure about the teen wizard. It's been worth the wait.
- 'Bruno' quickly goes out of style The problem with "Bruno" is Bruno himself. Compared to Borat — and it's impossible to avoid the comparison — there simply isn't enough to the character to build an entire feature-length film around him.
- Review: 'Ice Age' is 'yawn of the dinosaurs' tale There's more action and cuddly creatures for kids to love in "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" than in the animated franchise's first two installments. For their parents, it's more of the same, a "Yawn of the Dinosaurs" adventure with some new faces and places but the same central characters rehashing the themes of the first two movies.
- 'Public Enemies' dazzles the eye but drags With "Public Enemies," all the pieces would seem to be in place for an epic gangster drama: director Michael Mann, who has an affinity for complicated criminals; stars Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, who are famous for immersing themselves in their roles; and a thrilling true story of brazen bank robbers on the run.
- 'Moon' a haunting sci-fi tale "Moon" does something extraordinary: It seems familiar and derivative, yet upends your expectations about science fiction and surprises you over and over. Melancholy and mesmerizing, equal parts mystery and character drama, it keeps you guessing until the end.

Madden 07 Review

Madden NFL '07 has its faults, but is worthy of a buy for football fans.
We like
- NFL player facial mapping, character models, and stadium designs are all top notch.
- Madden's gameplay provides everything needed to please your football needs.
We dislike
- Minor framerate issues.
- There are many server and connection issues that EA still needs to work on for their online mode.
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
When people think football and gaming, there is only one game that comes to mind -- and that is Madden. In the past players have been frustrated with the series' repetitive gameplay and lack of fine tuning, and last year's Madden NFL 06 was no exception. The game lacked most features players had become attached to such as Franchise mode and Create a Player. It also suffered from numerous bugs including frame rate problems and freeze ups.
Now with Madden NFL 07, EA Sports seems to be demonstrating a strong effort to impress gamers this year by adding refreshing new content and improving upon the gameplay of the lacklustre 06 version. Madden NFL 07 builds on past concepts and revamps them to the point of making this new Madden feel revitalized and definitely worth buying.
Let's talk graphics
At first glance, the graphics may not look much different to other platform versions. However, regular players will notice subtle differences in the PS3 version, such as individual blades of grass on the fields, realistic lighting, improved character models, and enhanced animations.
Madden NFL 07 builds on its predecessor's game engine providing sharper textures and global lighting to cast stadium and player shadows realistically depending on the time of day. The character models have also seen upgrades showing improved muscle tone detail, flexible moving jerseys, and facial representation of real NFL players.
When playing Madden 07 on the PS3, you'll notice that not only have the individual player animations been enhanced, but the PS3 showcases all new gang tackling animations. This means when you grab an opposing team's running back and he is dragging you along, you can switch to another nearby player and bring him down with a finishing blow or cause fumbles. This feature adds to the realism that past Madden games have been missing.
Let's talk features
Madden NFL 07 returns with some familiar features everyone has come to love, plus a few new ones. Some of the returning modes include Franchise, Online, Exhibition, and Create a Character. New features consist of SIXAXIS control, Mini-games, Gamer Level and Super Star mode.
In Franchise mode, you'll start with a team of your choice opening with summer camp training and preparing for pre-season. Choose certain players from your team to improve their skills by completing mini games at the training camp. From there you can enter the NFL draft, picking up free agents and signing college players for their team.
Once the preseason has started, your team will train before each game strengthening their weak points on offense and defense. Choose from an array of training games such as the 40 yard dash, bench press, and the running back challenge. A unique feature is the ability to have a "live opponent" for each of your Franchise games. Connecting to EA's online service you'll soon be bench pressing online against a real player.
The SIXAXIS controls in Madden 07 play out in many different ways. One of the first is the ability to juke, charge, and spin with the running back or receiver carrying the ball. This feels much better than using the analogs as all you have to do is shake the controller. Another gameplay element that uses the SIXAXIS is the ability to early jump the snap on the defense. This gives you the advantage when breaking through the offensive line for a QB sack or stuffing the running back.
Even though Madden uses the SIXAXIS controller for a few gameplay elements, there is still room for improvement. It would be nice to use the SIXAXIS to shake opponents off your defenseless quarterback or perhaps on a pass use the controller to guide the path of the ball.
A returning Madden feature -- though not seen until now in next gen form -- is the Super Star mode. This mode allows you to create a Super Star by first picking his parents IQ and life-styles. Once the player has picked his parents the Super Star is given a position best suited for his DNA, such as Quarterback. Next, choose from an array of facial types and skin tones to create the look of your Super Star, and change the shape and ... (continued on next page)

The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Concrete Canoe team achieved their third consecutive regional championship at the ASCE Mid-Atlantic Region Concrete Canoe competition held April 15 at Drexel University. The team placed first in each category aside from the racing portion, in which they finished a close second. They will now advance, for the fourth time in five years, to the ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition (NCCC), being held June 16-18 in Evansville, Ind.
The Pitt-Johnstown team competed against teams from Drexel, Temple, and Maryland Universities as well as the United States Naval Academy. Competitors are evaluated based on: 1) the engineering design and construction principles used in the creation of the canoe, 2) a technical design report that details the design, testing and construction of the canoe, 3) a formal presentation on the canoe's design and construction, and 4) the performance of the canoe in the race portion of the competition.
Throughout the 2010-2011 academic year, Pitt-Johnstown students invested approximately 2,800 hours in producing their thinnest canoe to date. This year's canoe, named "Infamy," pays tribute to the men and women who tragically perished during the attack on Pearl Harbor 70 years ago. The name was taken from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's epic speech following the tragedy. The canoe was aesthetically detailed to represent a fighter plane from this era. "This year's canoe, Infamy, achieved just that, bringing the Mid-Regional Championship back to Pitt-Johnstown for the fourth time in five years," commented students.
The NCCC provides students with a practical application of the engineering principles learned in the classroom. The program also helps students to develop important team and project management skills, which they will need for their careers in the real world.
The winners of the ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition are determined by compiling the team's total number of points from the academic and race portions of the competition. Academic scholarships totaling $9,000 are awarded to the winning teams' undergraduate civil engineering programs.
Founded in 1927, Pitt-Johnstown is located in the Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania and is the first and largest regional campus of the University of Pittsburgh. The University offers a high-quality educational experience in a supportive living-learning environment designed to prepare students for the real world of the 21st century. Pitt-Johnstown is recognized by U.S.News & World Report as a "Best Baccalaureate College," by the Princeton Review as a "Best Northeastern College," and by G.I. Jobs as a "Military Friendly School." Additionally, Pitt-Johnstown has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

What is ultrasound?:
Ultrasound is a sound in a frequency of a range that humans cannot hear. The sound waves are produced by a machine, and applied through a probe to the skin surface. Ultrasound is used for many medical applications including imaging (often used to image pregnancies), therapeutic (deep tissue heating), and treatment (as is the case with fracture healing).
How is ultrasound used to heal bone?:
Ultrasound has several effects of healing bone that may alter the rate at which fractures unite. Ultrasound causes effects ranging from small temperature changes is the tissue to increased gene expression. It is not known which effect of ultrasound on cells alters the healing process.
Does ultrasound make bone heal faster?:
There is good scientific evidence showing that certain fractures, specifically nonunions, can show faster healing with the use of ultrasound. There is also evidence that these devices can help in patients who have poor healing potential including diabetics, smokers, and patients taking oral steroid medications.
Bottom Line:
Ultrasound has been shown to have beneficial effects in fracture healing, but is probably only useful in situations where healing potential is limited.

Zak Koehler
Purdue School of Science
October 2008
Whoever coined the phrase "service with a smile" might well have had IUPUI senior Zak Koehler in mind: since arriving at IUPUI almost four years ago, the Purdue School of Science biology major has run through a sizeable portion of the campus's list of community service activities.
But that's been the plan from the start for the Wheeler High School graduate, who hopes to pursue medical school and a career in a field such as cardiology or emergency medicine when he picks up his degree in May of 2009. Zak arrived in Indianapolis eager "to explore all the opportunities" offered to students here, and found that not only did it fit his desire to "give back to the community, but was fun, too!"
Zak has "done everything from filing papers to stocking shelves to planting trees," but one of his favorite volunteer activities is working with the young men and women at Damar Services, an Indy-area agency dedicated to serving those with developmental and behavioral challenges. As a recreational volunteer, Zak plays ping-pong and basketball with Damar clients, and "gets to be a kid again" sharing special moments with those he serves.
The northern Indiana native is a first-generation scholarship recipient, something that "means the world" to his family. He's been a regular on IUPUI's dean's and scholar's list of academic honors, is the president of the Society of Leadership and Success, and also has volunteered for such activities as Jags in the Streets, Jam the Jaguars Bus, the United Way Day of Caring, the Martin Luther King Day of Service and Fresh Start of Indiana.
When he isn't preparing for a career in health care, Zak likes to spend time with his friends taking full advantage of one of IUPUI's earliest attractions for him: the big-city life of Indianapolis. The former high school athlete has seen the Colts in action, and loves visiting the clubs, restaurants and shopping opportunities that permeate downtown life in Indy.

Similar to the Ivy media preseason men's basketball poll, two editors from each Ivy League newspaper participated in our own preseason poll. Ours was nearly identical to the Ivy League's, with the exception of Columbia and Cornell being switched. Here's the full breakdown with votes:
10 thoughts on "Ivy editors make preseason predictions"
This sounds about right.
Hopefully the DP has set the proper expecations for the team. And hopefully, the line between being "student journalists" and "student fans' has been drawn.
So you are being trashed here ("Insufferable blowhard" is I believe how someone put it). There's also a thread (again) on the ivy basketball board questioning why you are stealing someone else's name and wondering why you are all but stalking DP writers and others.
So no response? You live to call out other people's transgressions, both real and mostly imagined. Yet you are silent when your are called out for your own embarrassing and juvenile behavior.
There are a number of words for that. I'll be polite and settle for coward.
Who voted Penn #1?
Thank you for the contribution. What exactly would you seek additional clarification on?
I have never purported to "steal someone else's name". I am not related to, associated with, or affiliated with Herr Lubin.
I apologize if that answer fails to meet your expecations.
With regards to the Ivy BB Board... I have learned over the years that there are multiple items, as well as multiple of posters whose credibility warrants further scrutiny.
We hopefully can find a middle ground in this friendly disagreement with regards to our concerns and strong feelings towards Penn Athletics, the successes on and off the field, recruiting, fundraising, administration, public relations, and facilties.
Also - and this is VERY IMPORTANT
The Vegas Oddsmakers have not put the UMBC game on the board
This is unfortunate, as Penn did draw some action during the 2011-2012 season.
For what its worth, the Drexel game tonight is on the board.
I'm pretty sure the Penn game not being on the board has everything to do with the America East conference and nothing to do with Penn.
Jeremy makes a fair point. If the AEC is the reason for the game not being on the board, then that gives me optimism that there will be few Penn games that will be like this.
A few themes to watch in the early season:
1) Total number of points. Might need to keep an eye on
the UNDERS
2) Can Penn cover on the road against the spread? This
was a problem in the non-conference portion of the schedule last year, but a goldmine after Jan 1.
Very excited for the season and the opportunity to once again make some coin on the Quakers.
Megan — I'm told that if I can't say anything nice, I shouldn't say anything at all, so I'll congratulate that voter on making such a bold prediction and leave it at that.
(I'll also be pretty happy if it turns out to be correct.)
I will right away snatch your rss feed as I can't in finding your
email subscription link or newsletter service. Do you've any?
Kindly allow me know so that I may subscribe. Thanks.

The Oldenburg Academy girls varsity basketball team improved to 4-6 on the season with back-to-back wins against Shawe Memorial and Hauser.
The Lady Twisters defeated Shawe Memorial by a score of 42-14.
"The kids played hard," OA head coach Dan Kerker commented. "Offensively, I don't think either team shot well, but I am encouraged with the intensity and hustle the kids have shown.
"Defensively, I think any time you hold a team to 14 points you can't complain. Our defensive average the last seven games has been under 40 and exactly where we need in order to put ourselves in a position to win," headed.
The Lady Twisters put up 24 points in the first half and led by 17.
Ella Lamping led OA with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Kirsten Ricke added 10 points and four steals. Rachel Fairfield was in double figures rebounding with 10 boards.
The victory over Hauser did not come as easy.
Oldenburg Academy was a 46-43 winner.
The Lady Twisters fell behind early in the game, but battled back to tie the score by halftime.
"The kids responded well in the third to take the advantage," Kerker commented. "I think the pressure from both teams rattled each other, but I was proud how the kids hung in down the stretch.
"They took a refuse to lose attitude. We must continue to play with the same intensity going forward getting on the floor and controlling the glass," he added.
Lamping completed a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Ricke was second on the team in scoring with 12 points. Dickman led OA with three assists and was second in rebounding with six.

As in the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice in December is both the longest night and the shortest day of the year, inspiring festivals of candles and bonfires throughout the world. Because the Solstices are mark different seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, they are sometimes referred to as the June Solstice and the December Solstice for clarity. The event marks the apparent "pause" or "rest" of the sun on the horizon, where for several days it appears to set at the same spot. When its movement is apparent again, the days begin to grow longer.
In ancient times, the winter solstice marked the beginning of a festival of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea and of earthquakes. His association with the beginning of winter, when seafaring comes to a near halt in Greece, may seem a bit odd - but in his earliest form, Poseidon seems to have been involved with much more than just the sea and the shakings of the earth. In Minoan Crete, he may have been the second-in-command to the Potnia - the little-known "Lady" who was a mother goddess in charge of all nature, and some scholars believe that the name of "Poseidon" was originally "Poteidon", or husband of the Potnia. At this time of year, Poseidon also has help from Alcyone, a Greek goddess who was believed to keep the waters calm around this time of year.
The Winter Solstice also marked the time of a women's festival for Dionysos, when otherwise calm matrons of Athens and elsewhere would become maenads running through the wintry woods.
In the present day, the Winter Solstice is most likely to be noted informally among stargazers around Greece, who like to note the transition of the seasons. In December, the winter skies are often obscured by clouds.
While the December Solstice can occur December 20-23rd, it is usually on the 21st or 22nd and will be for about the next eighty years, when there will be a December 20th solstice in the year 2080. (Any guesses on whether there will be "end of the world" worries for that anomaly?) The next December 23rd Solstice will not occur until the year 2303. So for the purposes of trip planning in Greece, for most of the rest of this century, the 21st and 22nd of December are the only likely candidates.
Dates for Winter Solstice in Greece2013 - Friday, December 21st
2014 - Monday, December 22nd
2015 - Tuesday, December 22rd
2016 - Wednesday, December 21st
2017 - Thursday, December 21st

That's the good news. The bad news is that new forms of risky behavior, such as texting while driving, is increasingly becoming a problem. The information comes from the CDC's annual National Youth Risk Behavior Survey of more than 13,000 high school students across the country.
According to the survey, the teen smoking rate has dropped to 15.7 percent, the lowest rate since the survey began in 1991.
Teens also are having far fewer fights and physical confrontations:
- The percentage of high school students nationwide who had been in a physical fight at least once during the past 12 months decreased from 42 percent in 1991 to 25 percent in 2013.
- Fights on school property have been cut in half during the past 20 years. Sixteen percent of high school students were in at least one physical fight on school property during the 12 months before the survey in 1993, compared to 8 percent in 2013.
The CDC also asked teenagers about their driving habits and their use of technology. The number of teens who texted or emailed when driving ranged from 32 percent to 61 percent depending on the state.
Overall, 41 percent of those surveyed reported they texted or emailed while driving in the 30 days prior to the survey being taken.
Although the number of teenagers, according to the survey, who are sexually active has dropped since 1991, but they also are being less careful.
- The percentage of high school students who are currently sexually active (had sexual intercourse during the past three months) has declined from 38 percent in 1991 to 34 percent in 2013.
- Among the high school students who are currently sexually active, condom use also has declined from 63 percent in 2003 to 59 percent in 2013. This decline follows a period of increased condom use throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

A young woman returning from a trip to a convenience store was near her Raleigh home on the night of May 24 when a police officer in an unmarked car pulled her over.
The woman thought the stop was because of an expired tag, a family member says. But she ended up in handcuffs, in the front passenger seat of the cruiser in a secluded area. Then as the officer sat in the driver's seat, he exposed himself, the family member said.
The officer let the woman go, the family member says, without filing a charge or citation.
No one in law enforcement will confirm the details of the allegation that, eight months later, are part of a still-active investigation.
Law enforcement officials only acknowledge that there is a criminal investigation of former state Highway Patrol Trooper Larry B. Lovick that is directly related to the young woman's account.
This secrecy has been difficult for her family and has raised questions about whether the patrol has sought to keep a lid on the case. Among the details the patrol has declined to release is what caused Lovick, 32, to serve a three-day suspension nearly six months before the May 24 stop.
"I am, frankly, disgusted with the Highway Patrol," said Eugene Johnston, 74, the family member. He is a former Republican congressman and Greensboro lawyer.
Patrol spokesman Sgt. Jeff Gordon said releasing details of the incident, or any information about Lovick's conduct on the force "could compromise any subsequent prosecution."
Chrissy Pearson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Bev Perdue, said the governor backed the decision.
But Johnston said releasing those details might persuade others to come forward if they have had a similar encounter with the trooper.
Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby confirmed that he is handling the investigation, which landed in his hands after the SBI gave him a report two months ago. He said he spoke with the young woman for a second time last week.
"Certainly the information that I have was of a very serious concern and we are pursuing this as we would any serious investigation," Willoughby said.
The young woman at the center of the investigation declined to be interviewed by The N&O. The newspaper generally does not identify people who report to police that they were the victims of sex-related crimes.
In e-mail, she said she recently learned Willoughby was proceeding with the case; she said she did not want to do anything to jeopardize it.
Similarly, Willoughby said he would not discuss details of the case because of N.C. State Bar rules governing prosecutorial conduct.
Lovick on patrol
The patrol confirmed last week that Lovick was on patrol May 24 in Wake County, working from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. in an unmarked car.
Other patrol records show that from 7:38 p.m. to 11:01 p.m. he wrote no tickets and had not been dispatched to handle any accidents. Gordon said he could not comment on whether the patrol could account for Lovick's whereabouts during that period, citing the investigation.
Lovick, who joined the patrol in 2004, resigned June 7. That same day, the patrol requested that the SBI conduct a criminal investigation.
His attorney, James Crouch of Raleigh, said Lovick would not comment on the allegations or the circumstances of the 2009 suspension.
Stopped a few days later
The case may not have come to the attention of investigators if not for a second traffic stop May 27. The young woman was in a car with friends when a Raleigh police officer pulled them over.
Records show the Raleigh officer charged the young woman and two of her friends with underage drinking. A judge dismissed the charge against the young woman after she produced an evaluation from a substance abuse treatment center that showed she did not have a drinking problem. Her record shows one other brush with the law, a speeding ticket from 2008.
Raleigh police will not comment on what the young woman might have said to the officer during the traffic stop about the incident three days earlier. But after that second traffic stop, the Raleigh police internal affairs division received a report about what happened to the young woman the night of May 24, Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.
Recognizing the hat
Sughrue said that at the time, it was unclear which law enforcement agency the officer in question worked for.
Johnston said his relative, the young woman, eventually realized that the man who stopped her May 24 was a trooper because of the signature wide-brimmed campaign hat he was wearing.
Raleigh police turned the case over to the patrol and investigated no further.
"We made a determination that it apparently involved another agency," Sughrue said. "It would be inappropriate for us to comment on another agency's investigation."
The patrol's internal affairs officers interviewed the young woman, Johnston said. She was then interviewed by the SBI.
Johnston said the episode has placed a tremendous strain on the young woman and her family.
"It's just so outside the pale of what you ever thought about happening," said Johnston, who served one term in the U.S. House in the early 1980s and made an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate in 1992.
The state Highway Patrol has been grappling with several highly publicized cases of trooper misconduct. Many of the cases involved interactions with women.
Since 1998, state records show at least 28 cases of sexual misconduct, ranging from troopers having sex on duty to a trooper who abducted and fondled three women inOrange County. That trooper is serving a prison sentence. Other troopers have been fired, have resigned or were given lesser punishments.
In July, Highway Patrol Commander Randy Glover announced his retirement after a troop commander was fired after being caught driving while intoxicated; a major resigned after admitting to sending dozens of flirtatious text messages to a patrol secretary.
After Glover's retirement, Perdue created a committee to advise her on how to rebuild "the focus on integrity, honor and the proud heritage of the patrol."
Among the group's first recommendations is a new requirement that troopers must radio in to dispatchers any time a person of the opposite sex is in their patrol vehicles.
News researcher David Raynor contributed to this report.

LaTour is a new 18 hole championship golf course co-designed by PGA Tour Champion David Toms. The golf course boasts a 7232 layout featuring Mini-Verde ultradwarf greens with abundant water, pure white sand traps, and 75 acres of native grass areas.
Shadows-on-the-Teche's curators share the legacy of the iconic structures and inhabitants of an antebellum 19th-century sugar cane plantation that helped shape the surrounding region. Trained guides draw upon more than 17,000 documents, photographs, and talking parrots to paint fascinating pictures of the enduring structure. A brilliantly recreated picket fence stands as a small-scale preview to the towering columns that brace a structure packed with a variety of artifacts, many of which are original to the home. The plantation is a National Trust Historic Site, and the tour contains extensive information on the Weeks family, the home's influential original owners.
Designed by renowned course architect Joe Lee, Squirrel Run Golf Club's 27-hole course incorporates clusters of scenic trees, babbling waterways, immaculate fairways, and smooth, Champions grass greens. Players can fine-tune their swings before hitting the links with a regimen of 10 one-hour clinics, where one of Squirrel Run Golf Club's PGA-certified aces demystifies the golf swing for small classes with their profound knowledge of golf mechanics and subtle use of hypnotic putter pendulums. Each of Squirrel Run's three nine-hole courses feature harrowing water hazards on most holes that place a high premium on confident shots and deft club selection. Players loop any 18-hole combination of the 27-hole labyrinth, playing to a maximum length of 6,782 yards when combining the Steeple and Woods course. With five tee options, the treacherous monolith graciously caters to players of all abilities and golfers who insist on playing with bocce balls.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: 1) Handheld tester, lightweight and easy to use. 2)Works on all international voltages. 3) Results are large and easy to read. 3) Easily checks polarity, Vd, line impedances, RCD current-to-trip and time-to-trip. I use this now instead of 3 different testers and the price was lowere than all three of them individually. Time will tell on how robust a tool it is, but for now I'm impressed and have trimmed down my testing tool kit substantially.
Cons: Tester cable is standard US plug, needs rewired-- Pay attention to differences in US wiring color code, (i.e. Black is LIVE!?, white 0V)--or can just use a computer power cord from your own country. Could also come with a set of test lead with alligator clips for testing switchboards, but this can easily be made.
Other: More than worth it at the price. This is a bargain.

The Most Consequential Elections in History: Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the Election of 1932
FDR led America to victory in World War II.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
The stakes in this year's presidential campaign are high. But that's nothing new. There have been many other pivotal presidential elections in our history, some that set an entirely new course for the United States and a few that were crucial to the very survival of the republic. To put the current campaign in perspective, U.S. News's White House Correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh, author of four books on the presidency, examines the 10 most consequential elections in American history—the races that produced the biggest change and had the most lasting impact. An installment of this 10-part series will run on the U.S. News website each Wednesday through September. This is the eighth in the series.
In the fall of 1929, the stock market crashed, factories slashed production, companies made deep cuts in jobs, salaries plummeted, and the nation seemed to be in the middle of a nervous breakdown. As the months wore on, wage earners grew desperate. Many didn't have enough money for food and rent, and more businesses contracted, producing further cuts in jobs and wages. Charities couldn't care for the millions of people who needed help, and Americans increasingly looked to the government for relief. But President Herbert Hoover argued that "rugged individualism" would prevail and that it was not the government's job to intervene aggressively in the economy.
By the end of his term, Hoover, a Republican, relented and tried to use the federal government to help those in need. But, by then, it seemed too late for limited measures, and his credibility was shattered. To challenge him, the Democrats nominated New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a wealthy American aristocrat and fifth cousin of former President Theodore Roosevelt. His platform called for unemployment assistance, old-age insurance under state laws, legislation to protect labor, assistance for farmers, development of power plants, a repeal of Prohibition, and a balanced budget. He promised a "New Deal" for the American people and this became the slogan for FDR's campaign and, later, his administration.
He won the 1932 election in a landslide with 22.8 million votes to Hoover's 15.7 million. Roosevelt carried 42 states to Hoover's six. Journalist William Allen White said FDR's victory showed "a firm desire on the part of the American people to use government as an agency for human welfare." The electorate had, in effect, taken nearly 150 years of tradition upholding limited government and, in their anxiety and anger, thrown it out the window.
In his inaugural address, carried to millions on the radio, the new president said, "This great nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." His prescription was clear and heartening: "This nation asks for action, and action now. Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require." What followed was an unprecedented accretion of federal power.
It didn't take long for FDR to jettison one of his major campaign promises—to balance the budget. He felt the pledge was outweighed by the need for government activism, and he began a new era of vast deficit spending. His approach was pragmatic, designed to get results and rebuild hope for the future.
FDR proceeded to win congressional approval for a wave of expensive social and economic programs. In the first 100 days, many new federal agencies were created to alleviate the nation's plight, including the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to channel money through the states to the unemployed, the Civil Works Administration to create jobs; later, the Works Progress Administration to build long-term projects and create more jobs, and the Public Works Administration to build power plants, hospitals, schools, and other long-term projects with federal funds. The National Recovery Act gave the government broad powers to increase industrial production and help workers, such as by requiring a minimum wage of 40 cents an hour and giving labor the right to organize and strike.

Our mission is inclusive and empowering.
Launched in January 2003, the Center is the culmination of years of research and activism by dozens of UD students, faculty and staff. Our Center has a very ambitious mission and aims to serve the entire UD community:
The Women's Center is an educational space that enhances the climate for women and men on campus. The Center advances the full and active participation of women who learn and work at the University of Dayton while promoting campus and community conversations on the role of women in society and the world.
The Women's Center embodies the University's Catholic and Marianist commitments and ideals which include the Catholic vision of learning and scholarship, the Marianist tradition of educating the whole person within a diverse community, and the University mission of linking learning and scholarship with leadership and service.
Drawing on the example of the mother of Jesus, Mary - mother, disciple, prophet, advocate for social justice, student, woman of prayer - the Center works to foster the well being of women in all dimensions: physical, psychological, intellectual, social, and spiritual.
Sanctuary and Social Justice
The Center promotes the physical and psychological well being of women students, staff and faculty through education, support services and referral. It provides an ongoing assessment of the campus climate for women students and employees with regard to policies and practices relevant to work and life.
Service and Leadership
The Center promotes the active and full participation of women students, staff and faculty in the educational community through service, education, mentoring, networking and advocacy. It inculcates leadership skills that will help make women students distinctive graduates and will enable women faculty and staff to advance in leadership positions within the University.
Scholarship and Learning
Connecting learning across disciplines and beyond the boundaries of the campus community, the Center initiates and coordinates educational opportunities and programming addressing gender-related topics and provides information to the campus community on women's issues. It provides a place to build a community of scholarship to advance research on women and gender.
Spirituality and Community
The Center contributes to the University's mission to be a strong and diverse community of learners and scholars by creating a welcoming and safe space for persons of different racial, social, gender, religious, and cultural backgrounds. In conjunction with Campus Ministry, the Center calls women and men of all faiths to explore and incorporate faith-based living into their everyday lives.
Connected, distinctive, and community-building, the Center strives to promote equality, understanding and mutual respect and to foster a strong educational community in which women and men are supported, challenged and prepared to learn, lead, and serve.

Alexander Harrington, of Grafton, was named to the Dean's List at Fairfield University for the Fall 2012 semester. To be selected for the Dean's List, a student must attain a grade point average of at least 3.5, of a possible 4.0.
Charles Davis and Katie O'Hara, both of Grafton, were named to the University of Hartford Dean's List for the Fall 2012 semester.
Elisabeth Boulanger, of Grafton, a WPI junior majoring in biomedical engineering, was named to the university's Dean's List for academic excellence for the fall 2012 semester. A total of 1,337 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI's fall 2012 Dean's List. The criteria for the WPI Dean's List differ from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean's List by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.
Joseph Collins, Katie Annis and Ryan Tamulevicz, all of Grafton, were named to UMass Dartmouth's Fall 2012 Dean's List in recognition of earning a semester grade point average of 3.2 or higher out of a possible 4.0.
Sumer I. Shaikh, of Grafton, has been named to second honors on the Clark University Dean's List. To be eligible for second honors, students must have a grade point average between 3.5 and 3.79, of a maximum of 4.3.
We know that Grafton natives are making names for themselves all over the place. If you know of an academic or athletic achievement, share it with us in the comment section.

Best results are achieved when both the definition and the budget are precise and detailed. A good project scope document defines specifically what tasks are to be performed or results delivered. It defines the specific date when these deliverables are due and lists the budget allocated for them.
It is not uncommon for the project scope document to also list specific items that are not part of the project scope and thus are excluded from the work to be delivered. For example, a project to build a house might stipulate that obtaining environmental permits is to be done by the owner and is outside the project scope of the contractor building the house.

Yes, rock on dude! The QA review is over and we did extremely well as usual. Of course it takes a lot of work to do that well. So now I can go and take a much needed rest. I expect to come back ready for some gaming. I'll try to get current on everything tonight, then expect little or no posting from me until next weekend.

Zone 101The basic theory behind a zone defense is that each player is assigned a specific area on the court, as opposed to guarding a specific player. This has advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of playing zone is that it can be a great equalizer for teams that aren't as quick or athletic. Zones are best at defending the interior of the court -- the area closest to the basket -- and can be an effective way of neutralizing teams with strong post-up players.
On the other hand, most zones can be exploited by good outside shooters, who can simply "shoot over the zone." It's also difficult to generate a lot of defensive pressure and force turnovers with a zone defense, which makes man-to-man a better choice for teams playing catch-up.
Types of Zone DefensesWhile there are nearly as many variations as there are coaches, here's an introduction to "the zone" and how it is usually played.
2-3 ZoneTwo players -- usually the guards -- are positioned on either side of the top of the key. The center is postioned in the paint, with the forwards to his left and right.
The 2-3 is excellent at protecting the paint, but is particularly vulnerable to good outside shooting.
1-2-2 ZoneThe 1-2-2 -- sometimes called a 3-2 -- is a more aggressive form of zone defense. In a 1-2-2, the quickest/best defender will often be positioned at the top of the key, with two other quick players on either side of the foul line (on "the wings"). The center and big forward are positioned on the low blocks.
A 1-2-2 zone is better at defending the perimeter than a 2-3, allowing the player at the top and one on the wing to "trap" -- that is, to defend the ball with two defenders, usually by backing him up against the halfcourt line or sideline. The best way to attack a 1-2-2 is by passing in to the high post -- the spot where the foul line meets the boundary of the lane. That forces one of the players down low to move up, which makes the baseline vulnerable to shooters or penetrators.
1-3-1 ZoneThe 1-3-1 alignment has many of the same strengths and vulnerabilities of the 1-2-2. In a 1-3-1, the defender at the top of the key defends further out towards half-court, and the defenders on the wings move out towards the three-point line. The power forward moves up and is positioned between the two wing defenders, while the center guards the middle in the paint.
Some coaches use a variation on the 1-3-1, in which a smaller, quicker guard takes the position in the paint and is assigned to run the baseline like a maniac and double-team the ball in either corner.
Matchup ZoneA matchup zone is the bastard child of a traditional zone and a man-to-man defense. To simplify what can be a tremendously complicated concept, in a matchup zone, the defender covering the ball handler plays straight man defense, while the rest of the defense stays in a zone alignment.

Daily Item
---- — By Scott Dudinskie
The Daily Item
DANVILLE -- Milton coach Chace Phillips rubbed his eyes beneath his shades as he walked off the diamond Friday, almost as though he was making sure it wasn't all a mirage.
Those were actually smiling faces in his dugout, and there truly were 16 Black Panther runs on the scoreboard.
Mike Jacobs and Brady Chappell hit home runs that were just the sharp point of Milton's 18-hit attack, and Brennan Eves won his first varsity start in a 16-5 rout at Danville.
"I've been waiting for that for a long time," Phillips said. "We're struggling; they're struggling. I talked to Devin (Knorr, Danville's coach) before the game, and he said, 'One of us is going to break out here.' And I said, 'Well, one of us is going to have a good Friday night.'"
It's difficult to say which HAC-I team needed Friday's win more desperately. Milton had lost three consecutive games and six of its last seven; Danville had lost five in a row. Still, both teams are only a strong second-half run from the postseason, a goal that becomes less realistic with every loss.
The Ironmen (4-9, 3-7 HAC-I) matched the run production of their previous three games combined, and they were still within striking distance after five innings. However, the Black Panthers sent 13 batters to the plate in a crushing eight-run sixth highlighted by Chad Diggan's two-run ground-rule double to left-center field.
"We put ourselves, a couple times, in a position where we were right back in the game, and we don't do a good enough job of holding our focus. That's a very, very difficult obstacle for us right now," said Knorr. "At times we show glimpses of doing all the things we want to do as a ballclub. We get to 4-3 and within two or three minutes, all of a sudden, they're back up big on us. We fight back to 8-5, have a nice offensive inning and, again, it seems like in an instant we hand them momentum.
"We have to figure out a way to get on top in a game, to keep some momentum and get things going in a positive direction."
After a scoreless first inning that saw both teams strand a runner at second base, the Black Panthers (5-7, 5-6) struck for three runs in the second. Jordon Bordner and Ryan Solomon clubbed doubles and Jacobs followed with a drive over the fence in left-center. The senior center fielder paused for a moment at second base, thinking he'd hit a ground-rule double, until Phillips assured him the ball left the yard.
Chappell led off the third with a solo shot to left-center that made it 4-1. Chappell was one of five Black Panthers with two RBIs, and all but two Milton starters had at least two hits (Diggan and Bordner each had three). The ones who settled for one hit (Jacobs, Solomon) had run-scoring extra-base knocks.
"That's the kind of game we've been waiting for all year," said Phillips, whose team had scored a previous high of 12 runs April 5, also against Danville. "We were aggressive early in the count; we put together some good at-bats; we battled; and we were able to drive some gaps."
Milton chased Danville starter Zach Kozick in the midst of four-run fourth that included five singles in a span of six batters.
The beneficiary off all those knocks was Eves, a sophomore righty whose varsity experience amounted to a single pinch-running appearance late last season. Eves wrestled with his control at times, walking four and hitting four others, but he also pitched out of some tough spots in the early innings with the help of Milton's error-free defense.
"Brennan's got a ton of potential. He's got a live arm, and we're working on some off-speed stuff with him," said Phillips. "I learned something about him -- he showed me he's a gamer. He weathered the storm and he stayed pretty mentally strong. I was definitely pleased with that."
Phillips considered Eves' four-pitch fifth inning the game's turning point as it was Danville's lone inning without a scoring threat and it preceded Milton's eight-run sixth.
"He pounded the zone and challenged them," said Phillips. "We had a three-run lead at that point (8-5), and that was a huge momentum swing."
Ironmen senior Bret Berg was 3-for-4 (a triple shy of the cycle) with four RBIs. His two-run homer in the third made it 4-3, and he hit a two-run single with two outs and the bases loaded in the fourth. Only he and sophomore Mark Mullery (2-for-2, run) had multiple hits for Danville.
"If anything, we want to err on the side of aggressiveness, (but) we do have some kids that are pressing a little bit," said Knorr. "We have to work ourselves out of that."

Perseid Meteor Shower Star Trails Time Lapse
Posted in Places by Mike Panic
11 Aug 2013
Each year the Perseids happen around the second week in August. The annual meteor shower can be seen by virtually everyone provided the sky is clear and you're willing to stay up late. The amount of activity tends to be very high, and it's a blast to watch. On the evening of August 10th I went to a part of the Appalachian trails near my home known as Bake Oven Knob, knowing there would be little light pollution and it's a quick walk to the lookout. My goal was to capture enough images to make a star trails composite photograph.Read more..
Linfield Industrial Park | Kinsey Distillery
Posted in Places by Mike Panic
23 Jun 2012
A few years ago I found Forgotten PA, a blog that focuses on abandoned and forgotten about industrial parts of what made Pennsylvania great. There's one spot that I've been meaning to go explore since discovering the site, but still haven't. This morning I found myself with little actual work to do and no commitments, but didn't feel like driving two hours north to the spot I've been contemplating going. So I looked around on the blog for something closer, and found Linfield Industrial Park, at roughly an hour drive I packed my bag on an amazing day and drove down. The blog was written in 2007, it does not mention anywhere to actually get into the park, nor does anywhere else that I tried to Google. To confuse matters even more, it's also referred to as the Kinsey Distillery, but no address. Going off a rough guess, I set the GPS in my iPhone and headed out.Read more..

David Sandvick, Columnist
Have you ever noticed how many food products are "enriched" with vitamins and minerals? Actually, the term might be "re"-enriched because much of the nutritional value of foods such as bread is depleted when it is processed to give it longer shelf life. Vitamins and nutrients that are lost in this manufacturing processing are restored.
Children are like a loaf of bread (no, really, they are). Just as nutrients are lost in processing bread, children are constantly bombarded with a culture that steals their innocence, manners, respect for life, and other godly attributes.
As parents, we find ourselves looking for ways to restore and reinforce such attributes to their lives every day to counteract all the negative influences on them. A good church can help reinforce those godly attributes through Sunday school, youth groups, and Vacation Bible School.
Right now, all over our region, churches (including my own) are continuing the valued ministry of Vacation Bible School. Men and women are donating their time and energy to bring the same message of hope to this generation of children just as other's gave their time for them.
These volunteers have a love for God and also a love for children. They realize that the greatest good that can be done for a child is to help him or her to develop a relationship with God and to put back in a young life what is sometimes stolen by the world.
This summer, give your children the opportunity to attend Vacation Bible School at a church near you and start putting back into the child what is so easily lost.
David Sandvick is the pastor of First English Baptist Church in Frostburg.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Blackberries + brown sugar + bourbon + maple syrup. Need I say more?
a simple jam recipe using foraged wild blackberries
Just three ingredients: blackberries, lemon, sugar. But oh, how they sing!
My out of whack kumquat tree yielded a bunch of ripe fruit in the middle of the summer, which led to a happy accident of a recipe - Blackberry Kumquat Cardamom Jam!
Blackberries & blueberries combine beautifully in this simple and flavorful jam.
The song "Sippin' on Gin and Juice" will come to mind as you enjoy this blackberry jam with the delicious addition of gin. A condiment to make even Snoop Dogg get up early. Please note you don't have to enjoy rap music to like this jam.
This lightly spiced jam is made with blueberries and blackberries and is perfect served over hot buttermilk biscuits, pancakes, or in mini tart shells.
This darkly elegant blackberry jam is mellowed by removing some seeds and adding a splash of Chambord.
Blackberries get an unexpected subtle depth and bright note of acidity from balsamic vinegar in this simple jam.
Turning supermarket blackberries into gorgeous, punky jam without using boxed pectin works for me!

Adam Nick, who won the November election to sit on the Lake Forest City Council, may be sitting in a courtroom if British Petroleum has its way.
The businessman has been targeted by a division of the oil giant in a lawsuit claiming $177,000 in damages for breaking a contract to operate the Arco AM/PM on Lake Forest Drive at Regency Lane, according to the Orange County Register.
BP West Coast Products alleges Nick signed a contract with Arco in 2002 to operate the business through 2013. Nick told the Register he began selling non-Arco fuel after their relationship soured following his refusal to sign a contract extension in 2009 and, in retaliation, BP stopped delivering enough fuel to keep his tanks stocked.
About $73,000 of the damages is for gasoline, royalty fees and infrastructure such as retail software and cashier equipment, and $104,000 is for ending the contract ahead of schedule in 2011.

Today's guest post comes from John Brishcar, a CK-12 Champion, with a whole lot of passion for teaching and integrating technology to improve the classroom experience for his students.
I wrote my own science book. No, I'm neither a major publisher, nor a great typist. I am a 6th grade science teacher that is frustrated with a resource that is static, heavy, expensive, and out of date the day it was delivered to my school – which was nine years ago. So what do you do? You either use what you have, purchase new, or "creatively acquire" resources. I chose to "creatively acquire" resources! I wrote a science book.
When we first started our venture into the realm of free digital textbooks, our goal was to pioneer the creation and distribution of the "next generation" textbook. With the FlexBook, a free comprehensive, fully customizable, standards-aligned digital textbook complete with embedded multimedia objects, we met that goal. But realizing new technologies like Apple's iBook Authoring platform would allow for new types of interactivity in our textbooks, we let our creative juices flow. Part of maintaining the philosophy of creating the "next generation" of anything is continuing to innovate. So, on we work - trying other exciting ways of bringing the best learning experience to students worldwide, all completely free.
"What can digitization do for learning?" This is the fundamental question that has driven the team at CK-12 and motivates us to innovate. It stimulates a much more intriguing thought process than the more mundane "how do we digitize a textbook?" or "how do we get curriculum into the virtual world?" We don't just ask ourselves what it would take to make great content accessible to all students, but rather we question what would make the content more meaningful to the students.

FINA World Cup: Sydney, Australia -- January 16, 1999
From www.usa-swimming.org
Jenny Thompson's performances highlighted the first day of the FINA World Cup meet in Sydney's Olympic venue today. She won the 100m butterfly, in 57.02, only .12 seconds away from her recent world record of 56.90, set at College Station, Texas. About ten minutes later she won the 50m freestyle in 24.67, .11 seconds off her recent American record, also set in College Station.
