School of Classical Chinese Medicine
Laurie Regan, PhD, ND – Dean of Classical Chinese Medicine
Offering two programs rooted in the ancient traditions of China
NCNM 's School of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) offers two programs tailored to meet the needs of students seeking classical training in Chinese medicine. Both emphasize a "scholar–practitioner" educational style designed to achieve our mission of "transmitting the art, science, and spirit of Chinese medicine to cultivate practitioners rooted in the ancient tradition of the medical scholar."
Our CCM community believes that the exploration and embodiment of the original tenets and practices of this medicine are essential if we are to bring its true power to today's patients.
Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM)
The MSOM program is the most comprehensive training in classical Chinese medicine offered in the US. In this four–year, 3,474 hour/226 credit program, students are immersed in the classical foundations of the medicine, receive a holistic education in Western medical sciences, and are trained in the clinical application of the major modalities of Chinese medicine.
Master of Acupuncture (MAc)
The MAc program is not admitting new students for the 2014-2015 academic year
The Master of Acupuncture is a three–year, 2,394 hour/155.25 credit program designed for students having a special affinity for classical acupuncture and moxibustion, and wanting a more streamlined graduate experience. The foundation of the MAc program is similar to that of the MSOM program, with fewer hours of theory and without herbal instruction. An increased emphasis is placed on the refinement of palpation and perception skills used in acupuncture diagnosis and treatment.

Nicholas Vanallen, a Tier III sex offender, was arrested late Friday night for violation of his probation, but was released on his own recognizance at a hearing today, said Capt. Matt McElwee, commander of . His court date is pending.
Vanallen, 24, of Baltimore, was arrested after reports that he was consistently hanging out in the 's parking lot during dismissal periods, McElwee said.
Sex offenders in Maryland are graded from Tier I to Tier III based on the severity of their offenses, the third being the most serious. Tier III offenders are required to register themselves every three months for life, while Tier 1 and 2 must register for 15 and 25 years, respectively, after the offense.
Vanallen's last listed address on the Maryland registry is 523 Old Orchard Road in Baltimore.
It's not uncommon that offenders are released before a court date is set, McElwee said. It means the judge doesn't consider the defendant a flight risk.

Overtime became Kyler-time last night.
Kyler Lum scored the tying goal and added the golden goal in overtime to lift Wilmington to a 2-1 win over Sewickley Academy in a PIAA Class A first-round girls soccer match at Franklin High School.
The triumph marks the Lady Greyhounds' first PIAA playoff victory.
"Actually, it's the first PIAA win for the boys or girls teams. It's a big step for the program," Wilmington coach Ben Bailey said. "Hickory won earlier in the night and it's a big step for our area overall. It's great."
Wilmington (13-7-1) advances to meet Greensburg Central Catholic (18-2), a 6-3 winner over Karns City, on Saturday at a time and site to be determined.
"This win is crazy," said Lum, a Youngstown State recruit. "This is our first time in our program's history that we've come this far and won. It's amazing."
The Lady Greyhounds, who have claimed three of the last four District 10 championships, struggled early against the Lady Panthers (12-8-3), the WPIAL's third seed.
"We were unsure and very nervous going into this game," Lum said. "They are pretty good and we lost in the first round last time."
Sewickley Academy had the first scoring chance at 8:19. Katelyn Ripple got her head on Aja Thorpe's corner kick, but goalkeeper Ally Hahn was in position to grab the ball.
Leann Wynder nearly got Wilmington on the scoreboard 12:11 into the match. Her long, arcing shot clanged off the far post and bounced away from the goal.
Lady Panthers goalkeeper Maggie DeWitt made pair of diving stops on Lum shots 36 seconds apart to keep the Lady Greyhounds off the scoreboard with 11:43 left in the half.
Molly Lennen gave Sewickley Academy a 1-0 lead with 1:51 left in the half. Following a scramble in front of the goal, Lennen intercepted a Wilmington clearing attempt and ripped a shot from 20 yards inside the far post.
Lum nearly tallied the equalizer with 13:01 remaining when she cut across the top of the penalty area and ripped a left-footed laser. However, it clanged off the crossbar and away from the goal.
Lum came through with the tying goal 1:37 later when her shot sailed inside the far post with 11:24 on the clock.
"It was getting really frustrating. We were making silly mistakes, but we pulled it together in the end. We came together really well," Lum said. "After we tied it up, our attitudes totally changed. When they scored, we were down. It was rough. As soon as we tied it, we all stepped up."
The game went to overtime and Lum cashed in on Wilmington's lone scoring chance. She raced past two defenders, took a long pass near the left side of the penalty area and unleashed a low, hard shot that rolled inside the far post with 2:58 on the clock.
"I was hoping I could end it. I was hoping I wouldn't hit another crossbar," she said with a laugh. "I knew it was going to count. This was an important win for us."
Bailey was pleased with his team's patience.
"I think there might have been some nerves early in the overtime because we have a lot of younger girls. But, it was a great experience for everybody," he said. "We had some great opportunities during the game. It was just a matter of time. They controlled play early and we expected that. Overtime started the same way. They were possessing the ball and controlling it. It's what we planned for when we were coming up here to play."
Then, Lum capitalized on Sewickley Academy's aggressiveness.
"The counterattack went the other way and they got caught up," Bailey said. "The goalie was kind of blocked and Kyler had two people on her. Her left-footed shot might have fooled her, too. She gave a look like she was going with her right at first. What a great win."

In this tutorial we are going to see how to generate a file's Checksum value in Java using the SHA-1 hash function. If you are working on your applications security specs it might be useful to consider using checksums to improve the security and integrity of file transfer or file sharing actions.
In short, the basic steps one should take in order to calculate the checksum value of a file are:
- Create an
MessageDigestinstance with the SHA-1 function using
- Open and read the file using a
- Update the MessaDigest with the new bytes you read from the file using
- Then use a
StringBufferto convert and print the
MessageDigestin hex representation.
Let's take a look at the code:
package com.javacodegeeks.java.core; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.security.MessageDigest; public class FileCheckSumExample { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { String filepath = "C:\\Users\\nikos7\\Desktop\\output.txt"; MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1"); FileInputStream fileInput = new FileInputStream(filepath); byte[] dataBytes = new byte[1024]; int bytesRead = 0; while ((bytesRead = fileInput.read(dataBytes)) != -1) { messageDigest.update(dataBytes, 0, bytesRead); } byte[] digestBytes = messageDigest.digest(); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(""); for (int i = 0; i < digestBytes.length; i++) { sb.append(Integer.toString((digestBytes[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1)); } System.out.println("Checksum for the File: " + sb.toString()); fileInput.close(); } }
Checksum for the File: 89168dc12b380ab3c84917bc5a8a6c6e9452da1f
This was an example on how to generate the checksum value of a File in Java.

An Eastlake man is accused of tussling with security guards Friday at the Mentor Walmart when one of the guards spotted him trying to steal from the store.
The incident started when a security guard from the Chardon Walmart called the Mentor store to say they just had trouble with a couple of men and he thought the same people might come to the Mentor Walmart.
Then, at about 2 p.m., a man came to the store who matched one of the descriptions. Specifically, he had tattoos similar to what the Chardon guard had described, Mentor Police Lt. Tom Powers said.
One of the security guards kept an eye on the man -- who is 24-year-old Casey White -- as he went around the Mentor Walmart. He saw White take a bookbag and then fill the bookbag and his jacket with DVDs, Powers said.
White then left the store without paying.
When two guards stopped White outside of the store, he told them, "If you're not cops, I'm not coming with you," according to Powers.
White then drew back his arm to throw a punch, but the guards were able to grab him and wrestle him to the ground, Powers said.
The guards and another shopper who got involved when he saw the scuffle held White until the police arrived to arrest him.
White tried to steal about $667 worth of merchandise from the Walmart, Powers said. Police charged him with felony counts of theft and robbery.
The other man that the Chardon security guard called about was in the parking lot waiting for White, Powers said. However, because he didn't try to take anything from the store, he was not charged with a crime.
White will be arraigned Monday morning in Mentor Municipal Court.

Kinky boots
Reviewed: 19 July 2014 by Blood Angel, a Straight Married Male
The lacing up the outside of these amazing boots means that they fit my OH perfectly. A bit of time spent getting the fit just right is well worth it, and from then on the boots are easy to put on due to the zip.
I have to say that they look absolutely incredible on my OH and are an amazing turn-on. Whether my OH wears just these boots or wears them along with another outfit, they make her feel incredibly sexy, and certainly make my blood run hot. I highly recommend these.
- Pros
- Very flattering and with a little bit of time you can achieve the perfect fit.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Absolutely incredible for spicing up the bedroom action!

These boots are gorgeous
Reviewed: 17 July 2014 by PussnBoots, a Straight Married Male
You would think that someone with the profile name of PussnBoots would be something of an expert on boots, but alas I am not! I picked these thigh-high, lace-up boots simply because I liked the way they looked and I hoped my wife would like them too.
They arrived in a really cool red and black box, and they were so nicely wrapped up that I decided to leave it to my wife to unpack them when she got home. And sure enough, she loved the stylish presentation, and the process of removing the layers of tissue paper.
These boots are gorgeous! This review could easily end right here, because the fact is they are totally gorgeous, and they completely surpassed my expectations. However, it is worth mentioning the quality because they are very well constructed from a lovely thick vinyl type of material (so don't expect leather!), and have a deep satin appearance to them.
Broad, strong ribbon-like material is used as lacing, and as it twists and snakes its way through the metal eyelets it catches the light nicely to add to the overall satin shimmer. The lacing is fully adjustable to ensure they fit nicely along the length of the leg.
Once the lacing has been tweaked it can be tied in a bow at the top and it wouldn't need to be undone each time, since there is a full-length zipper on the inside to make it very easy to put on.
My wife assures me they feel very comfortable, although she did say they felt a little sticky against bare legs. She plans on wearing them with stockings in future, so that will no doubt make them feel better. The inside of the foot area is nicely cushioned and padded, and adds to the overall comfort factor.
The heel was not as high as I had imagined, and my wife thought the height was just perfect! Actually the heel size really suits the style of the boots, and now that I see them I cannot imagine the heel being any different. Everything looks just right!
One thing to mention is that when everything was zipped-up and laced-up, my wife found it very tricky to walk because she could barely bend her knees! I know they are not intended for jogging, but it would seem they are best suited for use in the bedroom, if they restrict movement to that extent.
Overall, very cool and sexy boots, made to a high quality. A 'must-have' if you are looking for footwear to spice up outfits and provide a great addition to a lady's seductive wardrobe.
- Pros
- Well made. Soft, comfortable material and cool, sexy styling.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Gorgeous, evocative boots with a lovely satin sheen.

Sex on legs
Reviewed: 16 June 2014 by KoolKitten, a Straight Married Female
These boots look just like the picture. Very sexually enticing. They look amazingly sexy on.
They felt a little loose around the ankle area and therefore I could not walk in them very well. May try a smaller size at a later date.
The type of material they are made from is a lovely soft PVC and whilst they felt amazingly sexy and comfortable to wear they did create heat so I felt quite uncomfortable in them after a while.
The 6 inch heel is very flattering to anyone but especially to a 5'2" midget like me.
The overall length on the thigh was flattering, which allows hold-ups/stocking to still be visible.
- Pros
- The look and feel of the material.
- Cons
- Ordered wrong size.
- Bottom line
- A pleasing entertainer in the bedroom.

Reviewed: 21 February 2014 by Tinatv
Bought these boots a week ago and I don't ever want to take them off!
They look incredibly sexy, are well made with good quality materials and my hits are through the roof since I posted pics of me wearing them!
The best thing about these boots by far though is the way they make you feel when you zip them all the way up to your thighs - exhilarating!
Best £65 I've spent in a long time - highly recommended!
- Pros
- The feeling. :-)
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great boots, would recommend them to anyone.

Extremely sexy
Reviewed: 19 January 2014 by Richard & Patricia, a Straight Married Male
These are good. Kinky, sexy and feminine all at the same time.
I bought these for my wife for her birthday - which as a result has been continuing for several days now - and they really are a new dimension to complement her erotic leisurewear collection! Why didn't we buy these sooner?!
Whilst not perhaps for everyday outdoor use, these are a definite 'must' for indoors, the sofa and the bedroom. The 5-inch heels and lace-up look `seem to display and place everything with cheekiness and immediate availability, and somehow strangely at exactly the right height!
These also work extremely well horizontally. The wipe-clean, matt-leather-style fabric is surprising attractive and smooth, suitably slightly stretchy, the whole finish and quality very good, and my wife found the fit very comfortable and made her feel extremely sexy.
She is a Size 6 - this boot length has 24 inches from the bottom of her heel inside the boot to the top of the boot, and we opened the side-ribbons to about a 1-inch gap, giving circumference about 13-14 ins around the calf and 17-18ins around the top of the boot - this still left a useful 6-9ins of ribbon for tying off at the top.
It's worth taking a good 10-15 minutes to get the ribbons adjusted just right, when zipping up for the first time. Usefully, the zip runs the full length up the inside of the boot, and there's nothing which seems to catch or scratch, or isn't user-friendly, in any direction! (With perhaps the obvious and quite necessary exception of the 5-inch stilettos!)
LH delivery was as usual prompt (1-2 days) and discreet.
If the wearer has somewhat generous thigh measurements these particular boots might not be your first choice - or you might need longer side ribbons - otherwise a strong recommendation to 'buy them and try them'!
Conclusion: well-made, comfortable, kinky, sexy and fun!
- Pros
- Excellent complement to my wife's erotic wardrobe.
- Cons
- Bottom line
- Well-made, comfortable, sexy and fun!

Okay, Spike, it's your turn now. Just look how you sparkle in the sunshine. You're so pretty. You looked like brand new to me when we first met. Somebody took real good care of you; 1986 was your birthday. I didn't get to see you until you were 20 years old. You had 8,400 miles on you that first day we met. You didn't want to start right off because you had spent too much time waiting for someone to notice you weren't running. I have certainly tried to do my part to make up for your neglect. You have 18,974 miles on you now.
You are what they call a "tariff beater." Honda made a 750, and then for a few years, 1984-1987, made a 700cc to get out of paying some duty fees. I call you Spike, but technically you are a VT700C.
But let's don't get technical. I don't talk about riding very much. Mostly because if you don't ride, you don't get it. If you do ride, well, you're riding, not talking.
Someone told me once that riding was his therapy. I didn't have a clue what he meant until I got comfortable on the road.
I remember the first time I got up to 75 mph. Spike and I hadn't been together very long. Maurice didn't like to go over 50 mph. He started lunging and gasping. When I got Spike out on Interstate 75 for the first time and looked down at my speedometer, I was shocked, scared, and delighted that I was going much, much faster than I thought.
It was a little windy that day, so I immediately pulled off at the Loudon exit, right past the river, and headed downstream. After a few miles, the road made a sharp curve to the left, so naturally I went straight ahead, up over a steep hill via a KYA curve on a narrow lane, and ended up, I swear to God, on a cowpath.
I started getting anxious about going back the same way, but I knew I had to. There was no other way out. So I muscled Spike through a 14-point turn, and rode back to the split. Yay! I made it. On the way I talked myself into going on to the right, eventually finding Highway 70 for the way home.
If I had met a car going too fast on that steep hill, or a big wide truck, yeah, I would have been in trouble. There was no guard rail, and not much of a shoulder, but I didn't know that until I got there, and then it was too late. You can't back down a hill on a motorcycle when you're freaked out about going up it.
But traffic on dead-end roads is almost always people who live there, and they know that almost all the other cars are people they know or people that know people they know, so they generally take it easy in the rough spots.
I moved to a new place a few months ago, so I have had to learn the roads and traffic patterns close by. I live on a hill, and have to go to the top of another hill to get out, then down a big hill one way or up and down a big hill the other way to get to the main road. So I have to be on my game as soon as I leave my garage.
I have to consciously tap into a level of hyper-alertness that I don't normally access. There's a lot of traffic usually for the first five to 10 miles of whichever direction I'm going. So there's physical and mental stress of a kind associated strictly with riding. I'm not saying it's bad stress, just different stress. The kind that forces you to pay attention, 'cause your life's in danger if you don't.
On the main road, traffic is pretty stable. Spike and I are just another vehicle, respecting the other driver's spaces, negotiating a path. Usually we just pick a direction and see how many back roads it takes to get there.
Sometimes, though, I'll get a whole day to do nothing. I almost never sleep past seven o'clock, so if I think it's going to be nice, I'll double-check the weather, cancel laundry, cleaning, or whatever it is I do besides ride, and hit the road. I like to go down Pellissippi Parkway from Kingston Pike to Maryville sometimes just so I can legally fly.
At first, there's no room in my brain for anything but body mechanics and traffic watching. After a few seconds, I settle into the traffic flow and start to relax and enjoy the wind. If it's hot, I lift my arms a little bit and get a rush of cool air down my back. If it's cold, I tuck my chin into my neck warmer.
And then I'm free. I can't hear my cell phone, nobody knows where I am, I don't care what time it is. The beautiful Smoky Mountains are laid out in front of me. I've got a full tank of gas, five dollars in my pocket to fill up on the way home, half a bag of almonds and a bottle of water in my saddle bag. If it's really, really hot, sometimes I'll wear my swimsuit under my jeans and lie down between the moss covered rocks in the mountain's gift of clear, cold water.
No paid-for therapy in the world even comes close.

Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. —
Kevin Durant had 33 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped Portland's nine-game winning streak at the Rose Garden with an 87-83 victory over the Trail Blazers Sunday night.
Russell Westbrook added 18 points and nine assists for the Thunder, who played without starters Serge Ibaka and Thabo Sefolosha because of injuries.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 33 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who trailed by 11 points but pulled within one point with less than a minute left.
Westbrook's 3-pointer made it 84-74 with 3:35 left, but the Blazers closed to 84-80 after Nicolas Batum's putback with 1:57 to go. Batum added a 3-pointer with 21.9 seconds left to make it 84-83.
Kendrick Perkins missed the first of two free throws, and after a timeout, Aldridge missed a tough fade-away jumper from about 20 feet out with 1.7 seconds left. Westbrook made a pair of foul shots for the final margin.
The Blazers extended their Rose Garden winning streak to nine after rallying for a 92-90 win over Miami on Thursday night. But Portland fell 103-97 at Golden State on Friday to stop a four-game overall winning streak.
Ibaka missed the game because of a chest contusion he sustained in the third quarter of the Thunders' 116-101 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. It was the first time Ibaka missed a game this season. The 6-foot-10 forward is averaging 14.3 points and 8.4 rebounds.
Ibaka was replaced by Nick Collison in Oklahoma City's starting lineup.
Sefolosha, who was held back with a sore neck, has also started in all of the Thunder's games this season, averaging 7.5 points and four rebounds. He was replaced by DeAndre Liggins, who made his first career start.
The Blazers trailed by eight points early, but pulled to 18-17 on Aldridge's layup and free throw late in the first quarter. Portland couldn't get any closer and Collison's reverse layup midway through the second quarter gave the Thunder a 33-27 lead.
The Blazers responded with a 12-2 run, pulling ahead on a trio of free throws and a 3-pointer from Batum that put Portland ahead 39-25.
Durant was whistled for three fouls and went to the bench but the Thunder kept up the pressure and the Blazers hung onto only a 43-42 lead at the break.
The Thunder pulled back in front, 52-48, after Westbrook's finger-roll layup and Collison's hook shot. Durant made a 3-pointer over Batum to make it 57-50.
Liggins hit a 3 that stretched Oklahoma City's lead to 63-52.
Aldridge and Batum had back-to-back dunks to pull Portland to 72-67 with 8:04 left.
NOTES: There were lots of fans wearing Seattle SuperSonics gear at the Rose Garden, as there always are when Oklahoma City comes to town. But NBA fans from Seattle may not be lamenting the loss of a hometown team much longer. Reports emerged last week that the owners of the Sacramento Kings may be in talks with a group in Seattle that would relocate the team. The Sonics left for Oklahoma City in 2008.

Four women were arrested and charged with prostitution at a Naperville hotel Friday after the participated in the FBI's "Operation Cross County VI," a nationwide crackdown on child sex trafficking.
While no children were involved in the Naperville sweep, 79 child victims of prostitution were discovered and more than 100 pimps were arrested across the country during the three-day operation, according to the FBI.
"Even though our arrests didn't net any children involved in prostitution, it was under that particular operation," Naperville Police Department Sgt. Gregg Bell said. "In our cases, all of the individuals that were arrested were all adults."
Police said Sharon Lynn Romaine, 50, of Vernon Hills; Melissa Sue Ronczkowski, 23, of Bolingbrook; and Palatine residents Tara Ann Zagone, 19, and Sherry Ann Cameron, 33, were arrested Friday at a hotel in the 1800 block of Diehl Road.
Ronczkowski was arrested at 8:43 p.m. and also charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. Zagone and Cameron were arrested at 4:48 p.m. and Romaine at 7:58 p.m., police said.
Another woman, Malgorzata Zielinski, 47, of Woodridge, was also arrested for prostitution on Friday near Ferry Road and North Route 59, but it is unclear whether she was arrested as part of the operation. Zielinski was arrested at 3:34 p.m. and also charged with driving on a suspended/revoked license for the second time. She was transported to DuPage County Jail, police said.

I wish they would get what a parent corporation means. It's like if you are a landlord that owns properties out of the country, and hires a maintenance staff to care for it. The maintenance staff gets a few jobs in their country. All the rents get mailed back to me. I own all of it. And the buildings too, and collect rents on top. Maybe an analogy like this may help... maybe! Apply that example to a foreign company that has ownership here. They hire some workers, pay some utilities etc and get the big check or profit back to the foreign based corporation. The foreign corporation owns it all. I doubt this example will help, but it was worth a shot.

The Cruelty of Fur Trapping
Approximately 10 million animals are trapped and killed worldwide each year for fur. Animals caught in traps suffer immensely while waiting for the trapper to come and kill them. In the U.S., trappers are licensed by state agencies, just as hunters are. Beavers, raccoons, opossums, muskrats, skunks, and foxes are among the animals targeted by trappers. Many states require the traps to be tagged with the trapper's identifying information and require trappers to check their traps once a day, but even a short period of time with a limb caught in a leg hold trap is excruciating. Animals will chew off their own limbs to escape the traps. Several U.S. states and many countries have banned the steel-jawed leg hold trap, which is notorious for its cruelty. Trappers now get around this ban by using other types of traps, including snare traps, conibear traps or leg hold traps with a thin layer of padding added. Once the trapper finds the captured animal, if the animal is still alive, the trapper will usually club or stomp the animal to death. Shooting is not as popular because the trapper would risk damaging the pelt.
Unintended Victims
Another problem with any kind of trap is the lack of discrimination. For every intended victim of the traps, there are 2 to 10 unintended victims: birds, porcupines, deer, cats, dogs and other animals are caught, maimed and killed in traps. Even animals listed under the Endangered Species Act are caught and killed. In the industry, these unintended victims are referred to as "trash" animals. There have also been cases where children were caught in these traps.
How to Release a Trap
If you spend time in the woods with your animals, it is important to carry rope and wire cutters, and learn how to release your cat or dog from a conibear trap and from a snare trap. Unlike other types of traps, the conibear trap and the snare trap are designed not only to trap but also to kill. It is also important to learn how to release a leg hold trap.

Wayward is a rogue-like survival game, set in a procedurally generated world. You start out as a shipwrecked sailor on the coast of an island and you're basically on your own to figure out how to survive and thrive, in this world.
I played Wayward for a couple of hours last night and had a blast. It combines a lot of my favorite elements of recent games. Stuck on a desert island? Check. Need to forage for food and supplies? Check. Permadeath? Check. Neat pixelated aesthetic? Check.
Don't let the cutesy graphics fool you, this game is challenging. I've already died four or five times and have barely created anything at all. You start out with a few items in your inventory – usually a sharp rock of some sort, a bedroll and then a few other things. From there you've got to forage the wilderness for food, materials, etc.
The "stranded somewhere now go survive" game is pretty popular right now and, honestly, I'm a huge fan. I love Don't Starve, Minecraft and Lost in Blue II. And while they may not be exactly the same genre, I also love the farming/town simulation games – Harvest Moon, Shepherd's Crossing II, Towns, etc. Basically anything where I need to grow stuff in order to not die makes me pretty happy. This game is no exception. I wouldn't say I'm an expert necessarily, but I'm definitely an enthusiast.
Wayward is currently in beta so stuff can change but there are definitely some unique elements that I really found interesting for this game. As in Minecraft, you can basically run into trees/stones/etc until you knock them down – however, if you do this without a tool equipped, there's a chance you're going to hurt yourself. There's a logic to how items are made which is pretty refreshing. Also, the materials are sorted into types of categories like "rope-like" or "stone-like" and each recipe uses a certain amount of these types of categories, rather than absolutely needing 3 of a certain type of rope, as long as you have 3 "rope-like" materials, you can make the item.
I also played the game blind. Rather than get frustrated because all the recipes weren't "unlocked" I just played and tried to figure stuff out. As I said before, there's definitely an intuition to figuring out what you need to make certain items. Eventually, I went ahead and hopped on the wiki but up until that point, just guessing and figuring it out was great. A good tidbit to know is that recipes unlock as you gather the materials you need to make that item. Also good to know, when you die all the recipes you've unlocked remain unlocked for your next playthrough.
Right now the game is free while it's in beta. I had a good time playing it and was getting enjoyably frustrated as I kept dying. If survival games like this are something you enjoy, definitely check it out. You can either download it from the website or you can play it in a web browser. Also, if you enjoy the game, be sure to help it get greenlit on Steam!

AUBURN, AL (WTVM) - Former Auburn University football players are in court today, answering to robbery charges.
Antonio Goodwin, Kowaski Kitchens, Mike McNeil and Harrison Mosley were arrested last month after an alleged holdup at another student's house.
A victim says masked gunmen came to the door and one stuck a gun in his face.
A judge has barred the public and media from attending the hearing as three of the former athletes are under 21-years-old.
Coach Gene Chizik kicked all four off the team.

Funeral services for Carroll Thompson Hove, age 96 of Mankato, formerly of Blue Earth, will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, September 20, 2013 at Word of Life Free Lutheran Church, 20013 Stoltzman Road, in Mankato, with Rev. Tim Hinrichs officiating. Burial will follow at West Lutheran Cemetery in Rake, Iowa. Visitation will be from 9:00 AM until service time at the church on Friday, with a sharing time from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. Patton Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Blue Earth is assisting the family with the services. Web condolences may be left at www.pattonfh.com.
Carroll Thompson Hove was born on December 13, 1916 on his Grandpa Herman Hove's farm east of Randall, Iowa, the first son of Andrew and Minnie Kanute (Thompson) Hove. Carroll was called home to Heaven on Thursday, September 12, 2013 under the care of hospice at Pathstone Living in Mankato.
While attending LBI in Minneapolis, Carroll met his future wife, Helen Marie Ottow. Carroll and Helen Marie were married September 15, 1938 at a country church near Reeder, ND and moved to the southern Minnesota/northern Iowa area where they farmed for many years until 1966.
In 1966 Carroll moved his family to Rosemount, Minnesota, a suburb south of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Carroll and his family were active members of Ebenezer Lutheran Church in Minneapolis and charter members of Community of Joy Church in suburban Eagan. In 2004 when Helen Marie became confined to living in a nursing home environment, they moved to St. Luke's Nursing Home in Blue Earth, Minn. After a recent fall in 2010, Carroll moved to assisted living at Pathstone Living, Mankato, Minnesota.
Carroll is preceded in death by his loving wife, Helen Marie (Ottow) Hove; daughter Anola Hove; parents Andrew and Minnie Hove; sister Martha (Hove) Noss; brothers Andrew Jr. Hove, and Luther Hove; brothers-in-law Oscar Noss and Irvin Bliss; and sister-in-laws Esther (Ottow) Bliss and Ruby Erich Hove and son-in-law Francis Monseth.
He is survived by his loving family, daughter Carolynn (Hove) White and husband, Earl of Mankato; daughter Ellen Mae (Hove) Monseth of Rogers; son Eugene Hove and wife Edie (Flaten) Hove of Maple Grove; and son Jon Hove of Port Wing, WI. He is also survived by eleven grandsons and granddaughters and spouses, thirty-six great-grandsons and great-granddaughters and spouses, and two great-great-grandsons. Additionally he is survived by sister Lorene (Hove) Dray of Blue Earth, brother-in-law Daird Dray and sister-in-law Mae (Peterson) Hove of Blue Earth, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

A 7-year-old alleged abuse victim had already been removed from her parents' home earlier this year by Child Protective Services when her new caretaker was arrested last week on a child abuse charge.
The girl's 64-year-old relative, Janice Stoever Odom, was arrested Monday, charged with 3rd degree felony injury to a child after a Thursday night incident. Odom, investigators say, repeatedly slapped the girl across the face, causing swelling, bruising and bleeding on the inside of her mouth.
The arrest occurred months after state investigators found reason to believe she was physically abused by her stepfather and mother.
Odom was entrusted with the girl's care after CPS removed her and her two older sisters from their mother. However, Odom reportedly confessed the incident to a group of her coworkers that day at Weatherford College, where she is employed as a secretary, court documents state.
One coworker reportedly told police that Odom also said she choked the child once prior to Thanksgiving when she was trying to discipline her, according to court documents.
Two detectives with the Weatherford Police Department reportedly arrived at the woman's apartment Friday afternoon and found Odom and the girl, who had distinctive bruising on the left side of her face, at home, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Odom admitted to hitting the girl, detectives wrote.
The Department of Family and Protective Services has removed the girl and her two sisters from the home and filed a child protection case in a Parker County Court-at-Law this week.
CPS has a 7-year history of allegations involving the girl and her sisters, detailed in recent filings.
In 2005, the department found reason to believe there was neglectful supervision of the girl's then 2-year-old sister by the girls' mother. She reportedly completed a family services plan that year.

Hip, hip, new contract?By
In news that will be surprising to only Will Carroll and Will Leitch, Jorge Posada is really close to signing a new deal with the Yankees. I know the Yanks offered him three years originally, but I fear that this deal will be for four. Hopefully, Jorge is up for learning how to man first base.
14 Comments»
I may be in the minority here, but I really don't have that huge a problem with giving Jorge four years. I understand that he won't be much use behind the plate when the deal is done but I say you've got to bite the bullet in a few years in order to hang on to him now. This lineup really can't afford to lose his production right now. Maybe I'd feel differently if there weren't so many other holes that need to be filled right now or if there were some more legitimate replacements at catcher on the market, but there's no way the Yanks can go from Posada to Jose Molina right now.
I'm with you – anything around or under 4 years 60 mil is a good deal – with more judicious use (i.e. not making him catch 135+ games a year) Jorge could be productive for 4 years as a C, DH and 1st baseman.
Unless the Yanks want to rebuild, giving Jorge a 4 year deal is a good move.
i could care less about the money, because it's not mine to spend or not spend.
what should be taken into consideration is the productivity level he'll have in years 3 and 4, and where that production will take place.
if he falls back to his career numbers, and even a little below, he's still a very solid offensive option at the position, comparitively speaking. but, what type of defense are we going to get from that position? he was not as good in 2007 and he was in 2006, and as he gets older, you have to believe it's only going to go downhill from here.
then, if you throw him into a DH or 1B role, his career numbers dont necessarily equate to the production levels you hope you can achieve from that type of offensive position. an again, as he gets older, it's not unreasonable to believe he'll fall below his career numbers going forward.
i guess what i'm saying is that i do think it was important to bring him back, but i wonder what type of contract/production level this team is going to be stuck with in year 3, 4, or even 5 of this deal.
Excuse my ignorance here. Can someone list who the top catching prospects are in the organization? (or direct me to a link if this has already occurred). Are any of these close to being ready for the majors and do you see them having Jorge put said prospect under his care…much like Girardi did with Jorge in the 90s?
you can visit the SWB blog. They just did a nice job of going position by position through the prospects in the organization. link is among the list on the right.
Yeah, I don't have any problems with Posada getting a 4th year. I would obviously prefer the 4th year to be a straight team option or one that automatically vests based on games played at catcher in year three, but that is likely not going to happen.
Honestly, with Giambi coming off the books in 2008, and with Matsui and Damon coming off the books after 2009, the DH spot is open for Posada in year four and probably year three of the deal.
I'm ok with it.
If there were any other options–at all–for a starting position, then I would be all for it, but there is just nothing out there.
Jorges the man. Good for him.
Montero's killing the ball in Venezuela. he cant get here fast enough.
Montero is not even 18 yet. If he even makes it here in lighting time at the ae of 20 thats still 2 full years ahead. Jesus Montero should not be a factor in yur opinion of JoPo's contract.
i know how old he is. i'm basically saying it's too bad montero is at least 2 years away. we have no catching depth, so we probably HAVE to sign posada.
if jorge regresses a lot by the fourth year maybe he's hitting like a league average catcher by then. or maybe he DH's and is still productive. if its what it takes to get him for next year then give him the 4th year and forget about it. thats my opinion anyway. whats the alternative??
Jorge's got the Yanks over a barrel and he knows it. There are no alternatives. They should've signed him and Mo in ST. I don't blame either one of them for holding the Yanks up.
Perhaps they should have, but I also can't blame the Yankees for not extending them in spring training consider 1. Rivera's arm trouble to end the 2006 season and age and 2. Posada's age and position.
It is perfectly reasonable, to me, that the Yankees would want to make sure both are healthy and capable of performing before giving them a long term deal.
I think it is the same logic that has thus far prevented them from giving Wang and Cano long term deals that take up some of their free agent years. Theoretically the Yankees should do this to ensure they get a good value on their contracts before they are arbitration eligible; however, when you look at their statistics and peripherals (Wang's lack of strikeouts/road numbers and Cano's lack of walks), it is quite reasonable for the Yankees to want an additional data point for both players before being locked in with them.
Of the two, I would sign Cano to a long term deal first (especially considering the glut of young pitchers coming through the system).

Sarah Palin and the Miss America Scholarship Fund
The former beauty queen thanked Ann Hand for donating.
By Nikki Schwab, Washington Whispers
She has touched the upper rung of American politics, but Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hasn't forgotten what got her there. Even the more embarrassing moments. Case in point: Taking second place in the 1984 Miss Alaska Pageant, where she strutted the stage in a cherry-red, one-piece bathing suit and heels. While a bit bashful about her beauty queen past, her runner-up status made her Alaska's backup for the Miss America Pageant, qualifying her for the group's scholarship fund. The former GOP vice presidential nominee gushed about how the money gave her the start she needed.
It was during a recent Washington luncheon when Palin bumped into Georgetown businesswoman Ann Hand, the official jeweler of the contest, who contributes a portion of her Miss America Collection to the scholarship fund. "That Miss America scholarship—that's what got me through college," Hand says Palin told her. In fact, it covered most of her college years.
Hand, known for outfitting Washington's elite with large Americana designs featuring eagles that are popular on both sides of the aisle, tells us she found Palin "even prettier in person." And that's without seeing her in Hand's jewels, though we hear that the former Miss Wasilla, who normally sports Alaska-shaped earrings, does have some of the jeweler's handiwork. That's because Cindy McCain gave her a Hand "Army" pin for their presidential campaign, during which Palin's son Track was sent to Iraq to serve with an Army unit.

New York Islanders Hire AHL Coach; Reach Deal with Ty Wishart
Getty Images By Christian Arnold (@CA_NYHockey) The Islanders handled some housekeeping issues Wednesday, resigning Ty Wishart to one year, two way deal and hiring former Manchester Monarchs assistant coach Scott Pellerin as head coach of their minor league affiliate. Pellerin takes over for Brent Thompson, who was promoted to an assistant coach on the Isles staff several weeks...

Dee Karl: One out of Two Renew
Of the two who didn't accept their qualifying offers, Ty Wishart was the one that surprised me the most. Wishart played one game with the Islanders last season but 20 the year prior. He spent most of his time in Bridgeport, but he is well liked by the organization and his size is one of his best attributes. Ty signed a one year, two-way agreement and as usual, the financial...

Wallace on Waivers and Wishart Returned to AHL; Call Up Coming?
The Islanders sent Ty Wishart back down to AHL Bridgeport and put forward Tim Wallace on waivers this afternoon. The move most likely indicates that Travis Hamonic is ready to return to action in the coming day or so. Newsday reported that he could return to the Islanders roster Friday night against the New York Rangers. Wallace spent over a week as the healthy scratch and in 31...

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
— —
Cursing, drinking, fighting and swimming in the back of a dump truck — it's the latest image of West Virginia, ready to be broadcast in January of the new year.
"Buckwild" will take over the "Jersey Shore" timeslot on MTV come Jan. 3. Filmed in the Sissonville and Charleston areas, the show follows a group of young adults and their day-to-day antics. While no one has yet to see an entire episode, a preview of the series on Entertainment Weekly's website has raised concern throughout the state. The magazine describes the show as a reality series about nine young adults who live by the motto, "Whatever happens, happens."
Entertainment Weekly continues, "And what seems to be happening is a lot of riding down hills inside giant tires, driving trucks dangerously through mud, tearing up the trails on ATVs and motorcycles, drinking, body licking, fighting with neighbors, and doing Jackass-y stunts that sometimes involve construction equipment."
At this point, no one knows how negatively the series will portray the Mountain State. But it doesn't look good. On Friday, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin sent a letter to MTV's president asking for the show to be canceled.
Based on past history, West Virginians have a reason to be leery. When clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch made reference to the Mountain State in 2004 with a T-shirt alluding to inbreeding, many people were up in arms.
Some called and e-mailed the Bluefield Daily Telegraph in outrage. Then governor Bob Wise wrote a letter demanding the tees, which bore the slogan "It's all relative in West Virginia," be pulled from the shelves. National news media, including CNN and FOX, picked up the story.
Yet prior to the Abercrombie zing, the Mountain State was portrayed in a much more despicable way by the horror flick "Wrong Turn."
The movie begins with a young couple rock climbing in a rural area. As with most horror flicks, the viewer is aware something tragic is about to happen — and it does. The two are brutally murdered by unseen perpetrators.
The opening credits roll next, and first in the background scene are the prominent words "West Virginia." Following are clips of newspapers and books with references to "inbreeding," "super strength" and "psychosis." One doesn't need a crystal ball to see where the plot is headed.
Following the credits, one sees a panoramic view of a lush forest and the phrase "Greenbrier Backcountry, West Virginia" flashes across the screen.
And just in case there is any doubt where the movie is set, the next scene features a radio news broadcast about two missing Bluefield State College students.
The bad guys are, of course, inbred "forces of evil" from our state. But that's not all: They are physically deformed to the point of mutation; they prey on innocents; they kill, seemingly, for fun and food (one can now add cannibalism to the list of derogatory West Virginia labels); and they don't even speak English, communicating in grunts.
Even references outside the "monster" plot are unkind to West Virginia: A truck driver acts like a jerk when a guy asks for help, a gas station attendant is toothless and speaks in the classic stereotypical dialect.
The only justified slam in the movie comes when a character driving down the road loses his cell phone signal. Score one point for accuracy, with an overall rating of F for insensitivity, perpetuation of stereotypes and a bad plot.
The feeling can begin within two days or two weeks. And it can last for decades, or a lifetime. It typically begins as a subtle, nagging feeling within the subconscious — a keen awareness something is not right. Soon, the yearning kicks in and the source of the discomfort becomes blatantly obvious. You're homesick for your home state — West Virginia.
The feeling can kick in during vacation, while settling into a new job in a different region, when decorating a dorm room at an out-of-state college or as a result of any other circumstance that spurs a venture outside the Mountain State borders.
There's no comfortable "y'all" echoing through greetings or conversations. No cashiers, friends or acquaintances uttering the familiar well wishes and endearment, "Now you have a good day, Honey." And no West Virginia family members — be they blood kin, neighbors, coworkers or friends — providing a cocoon of comfort in daily life.
There's no simple adjective or succinct phrase that can adequately describe what makes West Virginia special. But it's evident there's a unique quality about the Mountain State that becomes ingrained in the hearts, minds and spirits of those who call the region home — whether they're current residents or those whose long-ago ties to the state remain strong.
"Buckwild" may, or may not, portray us in a negative light. If the worse-case scenario proves true, we'll weather the storm with the typical Mountaineer spirit.
Those who do not know us may laugh, and label us with inaccurate and insensitive stereotypes. But we who live here know there is more to the West Virginia way of life than some folks with bad grammar and hillbilly antics.
It takes more than a reality show to sever the ties and emotions that bind us to the hills of Appalachia. We have beautiful landscapes, good people, rich history and a sense of pride in our heritage many people across globe will never experience.
West Virginia is "almost heaven" — and it's always home.

According to Professor David Ridley, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University and Alfonso Calles-Sanchez, patent expert in Spain's Patent Office, a "priority review voucher" award system in the EU would favor development of treatments for neglected diseases like tuberculosis, malaris, leishmanaiasis - as reported in MNT.
The voucher's would award a company expedited regulatory review through the EMA for one of its other drugs in return for developing a treatment for a neglected disease -- an innovative swapping concept. Currenlty, these diseases effect more than 1B people but largely in poor and developing nations. Historically, the financial incentive hasn't been strong enough to spur development of treatments.
For example, "If you develop a new drug for malaria, your profitable cholesterol-lowering drug could go on the market a year earlier," global health philanthropist Bill Gates explained at the 2008 World Economic Forum in Davos. "This priority review could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars," Gates said.
With expedited review, a company's drug not only reaches the market faster but preserves patent life for its drug in a commercial stage. This is potentially worth hundreds of millions too. The proposed EU system would mirror a system already adopted in the US in 2007. Novartis received the first priority review in the US in 2009, following development of its drug Coartem for malaria.
"A European priority review voucher system, combined with the U.S. system, would provide an extraordinarily powerful incentive for companies to invest in treatments for neglected diseases," Calles-Sánchez added.

2013 UCI BMX World Championships: Pajon and Fields win time trial
Olympic Champion Mariana Pajon delighted the crowds at Auckland's Vector Arena when she won the time trial. She completed the 300m lap of the track in 25.153 seconds, 0.342 seconds faster than Alise Post (USA). The 2012 World Champion Caroline Buchanan (AUS) finished third.
Although winner of the 2011 BMX World Championships in Copenhagen, and London 2012 gold medallist, the major time trial title had eluded the Colombian athlete until now.
"I am so proud. I always wanted to chase this win. I wanted to win," she beamed. "I love this track and I love this crowd."
Her latest achievement continues her country's incredible rise on the international cycling scene which was emphasised at this year's Tour de France with Nairo Quintana's second place overall.
"Cycling in Colombia is huge," enthused the new World Champion. "Everybody is talking about it and all the little kids want to get on their bikes."
Two in a row for Connor Fields
Connor Fields made it two in a row by taking his second time trial world title in Auckland in front of French athletes Joris Daudet and Sylvain André. Fastest in qualifying, the young American was the last of the 16 finalists to take to the track and covered the lap 0.103 seconds faster than Daudet. The two were the only riders to go under 23 seconds.
"It is such a tight track so I really had to concentrate on being as precise as I could," Fields commented at the end. "I can't think of a single mistake I made. It all came together and I am really excited to have a second title."
The double World Champion added that he feels more mature than last year, when he was a first-year Elite. Although his time trial win has given him confidence, he would not be drawn into predictions for Sunday's racing.
"In BMX anything can happen," he said. "The fans are in for a great show."
The Junior Women's title went to the USA's Felicia Stancil for the second year running, with Rachel Jones (AUS) and Sarah Sailer (GER) completing the podium.
Romain Mahieu (FRA) also claimed his second consecutive world title in front of the USA's Sean Gaian and Niek Kimmann, of the Netherlands.
Sunday's racing can be viewed live on the UCI YouTube channel from 3pm local time (5am CET).

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — When it comes to community involvement, Joanne Lorenzo is certainly leaving her mark on Niagara Falls.
The Buffalo native and founder and director of the Magdalene Project, which works with women and children out on the streets to help them find safety and sobriety if they're in trouble, is a constant presence in some of the roughest neighborhoods, all while running childhood programs.
"We focus on women and children, mostly women in addiction and those that are homeless," she said about the Magdalene Project, which takes a bus around the community, providing help to those stranded alone on the streets.
For her work, not only with the project, but also with children in the community, Lorenzo is set to receive the Spirit of Dr. King award at this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration, which begins at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Performing Arts Center at Niagara falls High School, 4455 Porter Road.
What is the Spirit of Dr. King to her? She said she strives to ensure equality through her ministry on the streets.
Racism, she said, still exists in this country and she's trying to be as colorblind to it as possible.
"We're all the same," she said. "I have a little boy who's 9 years old and he's mixed. There's still racism today in this country. But I don't look at the color of your skin, I look at what's in your heart."
It's those qualities and Lorenzo's ability when working with other people – especially children – that drove Samika Sullivan to nominate her for the honor. She said Lorenzo, for as long as they've been acquainted, has done great work with people, and been successful.
"(Joanne) has always been a really helpful person," Sullivan said, This summer, I had the opportunity to volunteer with her in one of her many programs throughout the area. When I was there, I saw how many kids were there and how they responded to her, I was very impressed."
Sullivan said what sticks the most in her mind about Lorenzo is her determination and dedication to her vision of the future.
But what doesn't register is complaints. In fact, Sullivan said she's known Lorenzo for 10 years and has never heard her moan or groan about anything. Not even once.
"She's loving and caring and gives so much to so many," Sullivan said. "And I've never heard her complain. I think she's an amazing person. She's doing it for the right reasons."
Thursday's ceremony will also honor W. Lee Whitaker and Falls High School student LaSharee Wallace, with a keynote address by Craig Pridgen of True Bethel Baptist Church, 1112 South Ave.INSIDE: LaSharee Wallace chosen for MLK award. LOCAL, 8A HIGH HONORS The Gazette is highlighting the three award recipients leading up to this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration being held on Thursday night. The three winners: • LaSharee Wallace • W. Lee Whitaker • Joanne Lorenzo

The Netherlands may be comfortably top in Group D, but they cannot afford complacency against a Romania side that can be highly dangerous.
The visitors themselves are in a battle with Hungary for second place, and although Turkey are lagging behind in fourth, they have underachieved thus far and could put on a late spurt to take the second spot.
Encouragement for Romania will come in the form of some injuries to key Dutch players, with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar out injured along with Galatasaray's Wesley Sneijder. Tim Krul is also absent, so Kenneth Vermeer, Rafael van der Vaart and Jeremain Lens are all likely starters.
Romania have injuries of their own, however - Ciprian Marica is unavailable, and Dorin Goian is also suspended, which will make a difficult task even tougher.
Match Date\Time: 8:30 p.m. local, 7:30 p.m. UTC, 3:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Amsterdam Arena, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

After the Redskins had listed them as probable on Friday, Washington just declared five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels and rookie strong safety Chris Horton inactive for today's game here at Ford Field. Samuels sprained a knee a couple of weeks back but started last week against Cleveland. He missed practice on Froday for what coach Jim Zorn termed personal reasons. Horton has been fighting a sprained ankle, but he started against the Browns and practiced on Friday.
Stephon Heyer, who opened the year as the starter at right tackle, will start for Samuels. Mike Green, who wasn't signed until Oct. 14 but who used to start for defensive coordinator Greg Blache in Chicago, takes over for Horton. While this is the first absence for Samuels since 2003, Green follows Reed Doughty and Horton as the third starting strong safety in eight games.

Pauls Valley Democrat
email@example.com —
A near miss for one Pauls Valley jogger serves as a reminder we can all be a little safer when we're outside doing more things with spring now here.
It was earlier this week when a teenager girl was about to wrap up her run in Wacker Park. There she was attacked by a lone male subject wearing a dark hoodie.
PV Police Chief Mitch McGill says the incident shows we should all be more aware of what's going on around us as the warmer weather brings more activities outdoors.
"Try to find a jogging partner," McGill said. "You're safer in pairs. Keep your cell phone charged and on you with one-touch dialing. Make it where you can easily call the police department.
"Stay in a well lit area, populated areas. Maybe even a whistle or a noise making device, something that will draw attention to yourself; not a bad idea," he said.
A filed police report shows the teen was jogging the night of Monday, April 1.
Moments after the park's lights went off from the nearby baseball fields a male subject came running up to the girl and grabbed her from behind.
The girl then screamed at the attacker and attempted to elbow him. He then let her go as the girl ran away to safety, according to police.
Afterwards she was given a few tips from officers on being safer when taking that run.
McGill said one such tip would be when jogging it might be a good idea to avoid immersing yourself in music by way of headphones.
"Maybe keep one ear free to hear what's going on, like an approaching person or car," he said.
"Don't cut yourself off the from the hustle and bustle around you. Keep yourself safe."
The local police chief reminds people that being safe really goes for just about any activity outside.
"These are not just tips for jogging. They're for just being out and about," McGill said.
"This is no different than parking your car at Walmart. Shop in pairs. Things like that. Be aware of your surroundings."
Staying safe is also something needed by drivers as the warm weather could potentially bring more hidden dangers.
"Motorists also need to be on the lookout for joggers and bicyclists," he said.
"There's going to be more people out and about. Spring is here."

Steve Forbes Endorses Peter Schiff for US SenateJul 28, 2010
Steve Forbes, editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine and CEO of Forbes Inc, has endorsed Peter Schiff, expert economist and businessman, for US Senate in Connecticut.
The following comments by Forbes were included in an email from Schiff to campaign supporters:
"I have known Peter Schiff for several years. He has a deep knowledge of finance and economics. He had long warned of the troubles we now face. As your citizen-Senator he will be a fierce fighter for cutting spending, cutting taxes and repealing Obamacare."

Steve Forbes is one of the true cornerstones of American capitalism and conservative movement.
His endorsement of Peter Schiff (schiffforsenate.com) is the most important endorsement I've heard in the entire Senate race so far.
Linda's refusal to debate Peter goes to show that she is in the race for personal reasons, denying the voters a chance to see and hear the alternatives side-by-side.
Her personal reasons for trying out for the senate do not bode well for the people of the state or the nation.
