Duluth panel: Substance abuse eats 15 percent of state budget
Law officers, treatment providers and court officials told a panel gathered Friday at the Public Service Building in Duluth about problems with prescription drug abuse, heroin, methadone and alcohol.By: John Lundy, Duluth News Tribune
Key state officials traveled to Duluth on Friday to seek input from people dealing with substance abuse on the front lines.
They got an earful.
Law officers, treatment providers and court officials told a panel gathered at the Public Service Building about problems with prescription drug abuse, heroin, methadone and alcohol.
"We have more and more methadone-addicted babies in our community," said Phil Norgaard, human services director of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, citing one of the many concerns raised during the 90-minute meeting. "We have the highest per-capita death rate for methadone (in Carlton County)."
The occasion was the first of three regional meetings hosted by state officials to present the Minnesota State Substance Abuse Strategy. Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson, who chaired the meeting, said Minnesota is the first state to come up with a statewide strategy to fight substance abuse.
The state has a compelling economic reason to take on substance abuse, Jesson said. She noted that the annual cost of alcohol abuse alone in Minnesota is $5 billion, and that 15 percent of the cost of state government is attributable to substance abuse.
Panelist Ann Busche, director of St. Louis County Public Health and Human Services, cited evidence that preventing a single child from being born with fetal alcohol syndrome produces a savings of $2 million over the lifetime of that child.
Given that, more needs to be spent on prevention and treatment methods that are effective, several panelists said.
Gary Olson, director of the Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment, said he knows how to pay for it.
"Get the manufacturers, the sellers and users of alcohol to pay for some of the cost," Olson said. "It's time to hold that industry accountable."
The rise of prescription opiate and heroin addiction were consistent themes.
Jesson noted that 20 percent of people admitted for substance abuse treatment in the Duluth area are admitted for heroin. Duluth Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said his officers who deal with drug addicts report heroin users invariably started with prescription drugs.
Methadone is used both as a painkiller and in treatment for opiate addiction. But it's also widely abused, Norgaard said. A News Tribune series in September chronicled widespread problems stemming from methadone treatment in Minnesota, including abuse of prescribed methadone with resulting deaths and dealers selling it on the streets.
Jesson's department revoked the license of the Lake Superior Treatment Center, Northeastern Minnesota's only methadone clinic for the treatment of drug addiction, on Sept. 21. The clinic appealed and remains open, with a hearing set for Dec. 6.
In an interview after the meeting, Jesson said she was "fundamentally troubled" by what she had learned about the Duluth clinic. The state needs to improve regulation of methadone clinics, she said, including changing payment methods so clinics don't have an incentive to issue the drug without proper counseling.
"Methadone can be effective for some people," Jesson said. "But we need closer supervision of methadone providers."
Several people talked about the "cottage industry" that has developed with people selling painkillers they've been prescribed but didn't use. Richard Colsen, director of the Fond du Lac's Tagwii Recovery Center, said in an interview after the meeting that some prescription drugs are sold on the street for $10 per pill.
Steve Steblay, supervising deputy for Duluth with the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office, said he was stunned at the amount of prescription drugs that were returned when the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District Office started a takeback program.
St. Louis County Commissioner Chris Dahlberg suggested a national program to buy back unused prescription drugs, an idea that Jesson and others greeted enthusiastically.

About Hankscraft Egg CookersFrom the 1920s into the 1950s, Hankscraft made scores of models of these wonderfully simple egg cookers.Place up to four eggs in the base, add a measured amount of tap water. place the domed cover on top, and plug it in. From there on, it's completely automatic. When the water is boiled away the eggs are done. The degree of doneness is controlled by the amount of water placed in the cooker. Every model comes with complete directions on the bottom of the cooker including the amount of water to add for Soft, Medium and Hard. Made of a sturdy glazed ceramic, they all measure 4.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 or 6 inches high depending on knob type. If you like your eggs out of the shell, we offer an optional glass poaching dish . Just butter the inside, add your eggs and cook to your liking. $9 additional. |

It soft boils eggs consistently to the same degree of doneness without being a slave to an egg timer.You place eggs into the rack, then a measured amount of water, place the lid on, and press down on the switch to start cooking. The water is quickly turned to steam which cooks the eggs. When the water evaporates completely, the cooker shuts off automatically with a loud thump. The lid handle is signed "Sunbeam" and when turned over has markings for how much water to measure according to your taste for Very Soft, Medium, and Hard, It even has a pin point to pierce the egg shell before boiling.

When the cooker boils dry, it turns off automatically when the eggs are cooked just right. For Hard boiled eggs, use the inside of the top to measure the water. Put the water in the bottom, put on the lid, switch it to on, and in no time you'll have up to six eggs hard boiled. There is even a sharp pin inside the lid to pierce the small end of the eggs.

The residents of Williston will save money this quarter since the need for the March election is now moot.
Last week, all incumbents–Jason Cason, Matt Brooks, Charles Goodman and Gerald Hethcoat–qualified unopposed and were therefore returned to office for the next two years.
The four men will be sworn in to their new terms during an investiture service April 8 at 7 p.m.
It took nearly 90 minutes Tuesday night for the Williston City Council to get on the same page and reject a proposed ordinance aimed at selling beer and wine near churches.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests from Jan. 6-13:
• Jan. 13, Eric Leonard Adams, 39, Inglis, kidnapping, battery.
• Jan. 8, Tammy D. Bell, 49, Cross City, passing/forging/altering bank bill, disorderly intoxication. Bond $1,500.
• Jan. 12, Arthur Paul Carrozza, 33, Bronson, battery.
• Jan. 12, Julian Michael Carrozza, 35, Bronson, battery.
Today perhaps more than ever, parents and guardians are examining more and more alternatives when it comes to the education of their children.
Vision Christian Academy, located off Hwy. 41 in Raleigh, three miles north of Williston, is but one of those choices area students have.
Its administrator, John Dulaney, wants to get the word out that the choices are there and funding options are available should parents decide to utilize the private school route.
Three of Williston's four public schools were in secured campus mode Monday after a fatal stabbing in Alachua County.
Casey Renee Wilsey, 37, of Bronson was stabbed sometime around 8 a.m. in the parking garage at North Florida Regional Medical Center.
At that time law enforcement officers feared the assailant may come to Williston where Wilsey's children attend school.
In almost 25 years working in the weekly newspaper realm, I've managed to avoid voicing my opinions about two subjects: politics and religion.
Growing up in Aberdeen, Miss., Reginald Kelly wanted more than to be an athlete.
Qualifying for three Williston City Council posts and the mayoral seat continues through noon Friday, Jan. 17.

Tossing and Turning? How to Get a Better Night's Sleep |
Submitted by: Kira @ Tip Hero 06/20/2012 2:52 PM |
There are problems and stressful situations that we Tip Heroes encounter every day. There are days that we just can't wait to end. There are times when we're so exhausted and just want to collapse. A common solution to all of these issues? A great night's sleep to wash it all away. But what if you couldn't sleep well or sleep at all? In my opinion, having issues with sleeping, that wonderful activity that recharges and refuels you in life, is one of the worst problems to have. I've had a lot of friends complain of sleeping problems lately. And I've even had some issues myself. Often times when I do get a full 8 hours of sleep, I find that I'll still wake up feeling exhausted as if I didn't sleep at all. It's really frustrating. So I feel it's long overdue that I wrote an article about one of the most important things that many of us under-appreciate. I've written about ways to get more energy before. But what about attacking the root of the problem here? Most of us need more energy because we don't get enough rest when we're supposed to. Wouldn't it be nice to gain all of the intended benefits of sleep and not have to resort to the energy boosters at all? First things first though. Let's talk about what sleep has to do with money in the first place. How Sleep Affects Your MoneySure, you're aware of the importance of getting enough sleep, but you may be wondering why I'm even writing about lack of sleep on Tip Hero. What does sleep, or lack thereof, have to do with money? Well, get a load of this, my friends:
So for your health, well-being and your money, it's time to take charge of your sleep. It's time to take what's rightfully yours and what all people should be able to enjoy: rejuvenating, blissful sleep. How are you going to do that? Read on. Attacking the Enemies of SleepWhat are the enemies of sleep? They are the things that put a huge brick wall up between you and the sleep you need and deserve. I can think of a few that I struggle with on a day to day basis. Here's how to fight those enemies, one at a time: Stress, Anxiety and Restlessness
There's also this from Health Guidance: Hot water bath can help in giving you a good sleep, because it relaxes your body and mind. It works by slightly raising your body temperature and after 15 minutes, it starts to drop slowly. This can promote sleep indirectly. Gradual drop of body temperature can make us feel drowsy and therefore we feel more prepared for sleep. A hot bath also diverts some blood from the head to lower parts of our body, reduces brain activity and mimics the pre-sleep state. Light and Sound According to Ego Developement: Light is one of the most important external factors that can affect sleep. It does so both directly, by making it difficult for people to fall asleep, and indirectly, by influencing the timing of our internal clock and thereby affecting our preferred time to sleep. Light exposure can cause our biological clock to advance or delay, which affects our sleep and wake cycle. So since bright lights trick our body into thinking it's day time, "awake time," we should avoid the following before bed:
Stimulants It shouldn't come as a surprise that things like soda, coffee, caffeinated tea, chocolate and other sweets will make it difficult for you to relax. Try implementing some of these substitutions instead: The Worst Enemy of All: InsomniaI went through a 2 month period of insomnia in college and I'll never forget it. I don't know if it was the stress of having multiple activities to keep track of, the staying up until 3am writing papers 3 times a week, the strange sounds I would often hear coming from the common room off of my dorm room, or a combination of the 3. All I know was that the harder I tried to go to sleep, the more I counted sheep to no avail. So eventually, I dragged my cranky self to the doctor who gave me some very valuable advice that eventually cured my insomnia. Here's was my treatment plan:
How to Wake Up More RefreshedThis is a problem I've struggled with recently. I tend to fall asleep quickly lately and stay asleep (from what I remember in the morning) but I wake up feeling as tired as I did when I fell asleep. This can be just as frustrating as not sleeping at all, trust me. Unfortunately, I've learned that the best way to achieve feeling well rested is to do the exact opposite of what you want to do. Instead of making your bed and sleeping area as comfortable as possible, make it a little less inviting. (Not uncomfortable, but not a place where you want to spend all of your time). Check out this interesting article from Lifehack that talks about lowering your comfort level to get better rest in less time (and avoid the habitual inner argument about the snooze button every morning). I've just started keeping my room darkening curtains open so the natural light wakes me up in the morning. I'm still annoyed at the sun every morning, but like all habits, this one is going to take some time and repetition to stick. Alright, Tip Heroes, it's your turn. What are some of your best tricks and tips for getting a good night's sleep? Have any helpful sleeping habits to share with us? Please do so in the comments section below. Thanks for being a Tip Hero! Sources: Help Guide, US News, Ego Development Photo credit: yyzphoto, vatobob |

How To: Quit Your Gaming Development Job
Farbs, a game developer working for 2K Australia quit his job, and this is how he submitted his two six weeks -- with a custom game (A Message for 2K Australia)! And I'll tell you -- it sure takes the cake over this resignation! *brutally punching myself in the balls*
Farbs will no longer be working for 2K Australia come June 5th, having resigned his position in order to work full time creating games like the most excellent ROM CHECK FAIL.
Combining elements of Mario and a small splash of his own game, Polychromatic Funk Monkey, Farbs delivers one of the more entertaining "I Quit" notices you're ever likely to find.
Nice. Now call me old fashioned, but whatever happened to the old 'stop showing up for work' method of resignation? It's classic -- you just stop showing up for work. Everyone will start to get all worried and think you're dead. Which, I think we can all agree, I did for the lulz.
How To Quit Your Game Development Job [kotaku]
Thanks to Simon and Julian, who have both quit jobs by crashing their cars into the office lobby. Nice guys, I like your style.
Now you see folks, THAT is how you quit a job. Remember: the goal whenever leaving an organization is to ensure it crumbles behind you as you walk out the door. So, at that very moment, your employer realizes just how under-appreciated you were. And then is crushed under the... / Continue →

Rita Ora Makes Cardinal Fashion Sin: Socks And Sandals
Tuesday, March 11, 2014
Socks and sandals are never okay! Never!
Last night, British singer Rita Ora caught a flight out of LAX. And while the British singer is known for her funky fashion statements—she made a fashion faux pas so terrible that we believe it should be punishable by death (okay fine ... maybe just some Internet flogging)—the dreaded socks and sandals combo! Avert your eyes!
Despite wearing black and white—the face of DKNY did nothing for the brand when paraded though the Los Angeles airport in what looks like DKNY pajamas, black and white striped knee-high socks and striped Adidas sandals. And of course she topped it all off with a glittering bomber jacket! Too much is going on here and we like none of it!
While we know that Rita needs to rep her brand, we don't think she does the label any justice by wearing that ensemble. Last month, the 23-year-old turned up to the DKNY Women's fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2014 in a leather jacket with the wording on the back that read, "When I wear DKNY I feel like a BAD B-TCH." Looking at this past DKNY ensemble we think she actually meant, "Badly Dressed B-TCH"!
As far as we are concerned, socks and sandals is up there with skorts, butterfly tramp stamps and flared-legged jeans. These are things no one should see!

Willow And Jaden Smith Make Major Fashion Fails
Monday, March 10, 2014
It's like the blind leading the blind!
We aren't sure if the lights were out in their Calabasas compound, but brother and sister duo Willow and Jaden Smith both stepped out of the house wearing some major mistakes while hanging out with teen queen Kylie Jenner at the Commons on Sunday.
The pack of kids spent their Sunday hanging out at the mall—trying to blend in—which is exactly what they didn't do—especially in those outfits!
For the shopping outing, Willow was all sorts of mismatching. The "Whip My Hair" singer opted for a skit sweater coat, a rainbow batik shirt, pajama bottoms and slouchy grey boots. Huh?!
Her brother donned black jeans and a way too long shirt. Maybe Willow would have been better off wearing that shirt as a dress?! We definitely aren't understanding these two! We know Will and Jada are all about giving their kids freedom—but these outfits are too much!

Ed Westwick Is the Captain Of Bad Fashion
Friday, March 7, 2014
Oh Captain, my captain!?
Channeling a rock and roll Hugh Hefner, Ed Westwick donned quite the odd ensemble for a night on the town at 1Oak in West Hollywood on Thursday night.
Wearing a worn-in brown leather jacket, a feminine floral top (did he get that thing at Chicos?) black jeans, some tiny cowboy boots and a captain's hat, the former Gossip Girl had all eyes on him as he walked through the streets of Weho for all the wrong reasons. Everything about this bizarro ensemble is wrong—so wrong. Chuck Bass wouldn't be caught dead in any of that—well except maybe the hat, we could see him in that. We don't know if Ed got dressed in the dark or just could care less, but we think every piece he is wearing should probably be burned.
The British actor recently gave his former onscreen love Leighton Meester well wishes on her secret wedding to Adam Brody, saying to Us Weekly, "It's not my life. I love her. I think she's fantastic, and she's a good friend of mine. And whatever she does I wish her all the best."
Elle Fanning Is Looking Sublime In Lime During Paris Fashion Week
Thursday, March 6, 2014
We'd never believe she's 15 years old!
Wearing a statement-making lime green jacket, 15-year-old Elle Fanning as took a stroll through the streets of Paris between shows during Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 on Wednesday.
While out and about in the City of Lights, the We Bought a Zoo star donned a sheer-paneled white shirt and paired it with ripped black jeans. She added sophistication to the eddy look with a lime green boyfriend coat, plus bejeweled black Miu Miu pumps and a white Miu Miu bag. And we are loving everything about this look!
While at the show, the actress talked to Elle about how her style is changing in light of her upcoming 16th birthday.
"Yeah, [turning 16] is a big deal! And I feel like I'm dressing a bit older, but it's kinda just how I feel. I haven't been analyzing it. I just put on what I want to put on. It's like, 'I don't hate that today." The blonde teen added, "I'm discovering some things in my closet that I used to wear and bringing them back. I never get rid of anything. I always keep it all."

The Taiwan Strait or Formosa Strait, formerly known as the Black Ditch,1 is a 180 kilometres (110 mi) wide strait separating the island of Taiwan from the Asian mainland. The strait connects the South China Sea to the East China Sea.234 The narrowest part is 130 km (81 mi) wide.5
The Taiwan Strait is located between Asia and the island of Taiwan.6
The geo-location of Taiwan Strait | |||||||||
Fujian Province in mainland China is to the west of the strait while the islands of Quemoy, Xiamen, Pingtan and Matsu lie just off the coast. To the east of the Strait are the west coasts of Taiwan and Penghu. The island fishermen use the strait as a fishing resource. The Min and Jiulong rivers empty into the strait.
There have been discussions about the strategic importance of the Taiwan Strait. Some Japanese politicians have claimed that the Taiwan Strait is an essential sea route for oil shipment from the Middle East via the Malacca Strait to Japan.7 However, some have argued that this is merely an excuse for intervention since the sea lane east of Taiwan is even shorter8
The Strait has been the theatre for several military confrontations between Mainland China and Taiwan since the last days of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 when the Kuomintang (KMT) forces led by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek retreated across the Strait and relocated their government to their final stronghold of Taiwan. A theoretical median maritime border known as the cross-strait median (海峽中線) also exists on the water to prevent certain transportation from passing.9
Proposed link
As part of the People's Republic of China's National Expressway Plan, a tunnel or possibly a bridge, was proposed in 2005 to link the city of Fuzhou with Taipei across the strait (Map10). If such an extreme construction would ever be built, it would by far exceed the length of any man-made tunnel in the world today. Engineers in Beijing state that a tunnel is technically feasible. However, the Republic of China government has refused to open direct links out of concern for Taiwan's security and in fear that by doing so it would have to recognize the People's Republic of China's one-China policy.1112

honestly 1.0 was the best. all the upgrades after it seem to have bug problems.
1.0 actually seemed buggy as **** to me. I'm happy this is out now.
Pete's jammin with these roms. Very nice. I wonder if he ever gets tired doin these things? Gonna checkout 1.2. Thanks!
Just installed. I really liked the dark notifcation and drop down as aposed to the white that comes with v1.2. but it runs fine.
V1.2 has been running perfectly for me since my 4:30AM install. I then installed Chevy's 1.25 and the Smoked Glass theme that is on Pete's page. It looks and feel just like 1.1 to me now. Running great. I will enable JIT later today (because I just have to). JIT worked fine for me on 7.7 and V1.1.
Don't forget to donate.
Forgot to change my sig. Will do that later today too.
so after a day of being out, hows everything running?
i have weird problems with 1.1 like after reboot, sending 2x or 3x texts of the same message to the same person... weird.. and sometimes the led for the soft keys won't light up.. but after a while it'll kinda "figure it's self out"
but yea.. how's it going?
ummm yah, chevys 1.25 and smoked glass theme, and my headset went out, i can talk to people, but people cant hear me, i have to use speaker phone. Anyone else have this problem?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- My sad squirrel story last week prompted some readers to share their own squirrel tales -- all with much better endings than mine.
From David Miller, formerly of Charleston, now living the good life in Canaan Valley:
"It was a warm early-spring afternoon. We had the windows open and our jumbo Newfie puppies were in the yard. From inside I could hear one of them playing with a squeaking toy in the yard. 'Squeak, squeak, squeak' drifted in through the window when suddenly it occurred to me, 'Hey, they don't have any squeaky toys outside!'
"I ran outside and found my 9-month-old, 120-pound puppy playing with a baby squirrel. I managed to get the pup to drop the squirrel and ushered the dogs inside. Returning, I found my then-3-year-old son standing over the squirrel pup. It lay there in the driveway, barely breathing and covered in dog drool. Apparently it had fallen from its nest when the dog discovered it.
"I surmised that the most humane thing to do would be to quickly put it out of its misery, but with my 3-year-old looking up at me with giant saucer eyes, I decided on an alternate plan. Placing the squirrel in a shoebox, I explained how I would take it to the vet stating, 'They'll know what to do.' My plan wasn't to deliver the squirrel to the vet, but to remove it and to deal with it away from my son. But my son decided to come along.
"When we arrived at the vet, I passed the shoebox across the counter explaining the situation. With a smile and a wink the receptionist stated, 'We'll take care of it.' My son beamed. I was relieved. Problem solved.
"A couple months later I was back at the vet getting the pups a set of shots when the receptionist looked at me and said, 'Want your squirrel back?' Seems she'd nursed it back to health and had taken it home, where it was running around her apartment.
"Imagining a mammoth vet bill, I stammered, 'Um, ah, er, no?' She said it wasn't a problem. She'd keep it. Whew."
Although she's now retired, S.L. Samples of Clay County once worked in the same building in the Capitol Complex where I work now. Except some of the squirrels were more clever back then. Wrote Samples:
"One day I walked out of the Capitol and was coming down the steps heading back toward Building 6 when a streaking squirrel flew past me and leaped straight into one of the tall trash cans. I looked up, and sure enough, there was one of the hawks after it. That squirrel lived awhile longer, I guess. I couldn't wait around to see if he escaped, but his leap into the can was spectacular."
Samples also shared a squirrel story her sister sent her back in 2005. It's one of those passed-around-the-Internet stories you want to be true. It was too long to share in its entirety, so what follows is an abbreviated version:

Stayed in the 4-bunk mixed dorm. Shower and bed were incredibly warm and comfortable. Breakfast was not included as it is at the hostel just down the street, but still very tasty. I was able to open the lockers of the other guests with my key so can't say the personal security is the best; also, from the inside courtyard, I could still see through the slats into the double private room. So, privacy is a bit lacking. But overall location is very safe and clean. Fantastic place to flee the crowds.

This is an excellent place if you look for a relaxing, quiet and decent environment near a lively and vibrant street. This is not for you if you look for a social place to meet other backpackers - there are more quiet and mature couples than active and young lads.

Wolves lasso Cowboys, earn split at 'Crush'
Published on Wed, Jan 7, 2009 by
Michael Dashiell
Read More
Some days you're the crusher; other days, you're the crushed.
Sequim's boys got a little taste of both at Port Townsend's Crush in the Slush basketball tournament Friday and Saturday, earning a split in two drastically different games.
On Friday afternoon, Sequim opened the tourney with a 63-37 loss to a South Kamloops squad featuring four players 6-foot 7-inches tall - Sequim's tallest player is listed at 6-foot 4-inches - and rebounded nicely with a 61-29 crushing of peninsula neighbor Chimacum on Jan. 3.
Saturday's Sequim victory keeps Chimacum's Cowboys winless (0-7) on the season.
Against the Cowboys, Sequim (3-4) got 15 points from Ary Webb and 14 from fellow senior John Textor. The Wolves raced to a 23-9 lead after one quarter and a 37-16 advantage by halftime.
Dylan Brown led Chimacum with 11 points.
In the opener Friday night, the Wolves' squad was no match for a long and athletic South Kamloops team from British Columbia. The Titans used their height to out-rebound Sequim 45-17 and consistently forced the Wolves into difficult shots.
At 6-feet 10-inches tall, Titan point guard Kelly Olynyk led the Titans with a solid all-around game with 18 points, 15 rebounds, four steals and three blocks. When Olynyk and post David Wagner (11 rebounds) weren't forcing the issue in the middle, John Bantock (23 points) was lurking on the perimeter for three-point jumpers.
Ary Webb led Sequim with 11 points while Textor added 10 points, four rebounds and six steals.
The Wolves did have a bright spot, however: they forced 28 Titan turnovers and committed just 13.
Sequim coach Greg Glasser said he was happy with the team's effort.
"We're always going to be the smaller team on the court," Glasser said. "Today we didn't get hurt as much on the offensive boards."
Sequim also saw the return of Clancy Catelli this weekend. Catelli, a starter from last season, has missed much of the season because of an illness.
"Clancy is coming back - we'll be working him into the gel (the guys) have created," Glasser said.
Sequim was slated to take on Kingston on the road Jan. 6 - results were unavailable at press time. The Wolves travel to Poulsbo for a Jan. 9 match-up with North Kitsap before hosting cross-peninsula rival Port Angeles on Jan. 10.
Sequim sweeps in Sumner
That's more like it.
Sequim's boys basketball squad found the win column for the first time this season with a 59-53 victory against host Sumner at the Hoopin' for Life Tournament Dec. 30, outscoring the Spartans 21-10 in the fourth quarter.
The Wolves added a 74-59 win against Elma on New Year's Eve for a tourney sweep, improving to 2-3 for the season.
In the opener against Sumner, Ary Webb led the Wolves with 28 points and eight rebounds while Textor had 12 points and Corbin Webb added seven.
Sequim opened the game with a 15-4 run but saw the Spartans tie it by halftime. Sumner led 43-38 after three quarters until Sequim's strong finish.
"We shut them down and they had trouble making free throws," Glasser said.
In the tourney final against Elma, a 2A team from southwest Washington, Sequim held a five-point lead after three quarters before another strong fourth quarter, out-scoring the Eagles 26-16.
Textor led the Wolves with 19 points, nine rebounds and four steals - all team highs - while Corbin Webb had 17 points and Ary Webb added 16 points and eight rebounds. Reed Omdal had eight points, four rebounds and three steals.
"This was a good tournament for us," Glasser said.

It's an actor. It's a technician. It's the High School Super Musical.
Altoona Community Theatre held its first five-week theater program dubbed the High School Super Musical for students from the area this summer.
The program concludes with a production of "Into The Woods," a musical Stephen Sondheim scored based on the book by James Lapine that follows a baker and his wife on a quest as they encounter iconic fairy tale characters.

In a scene from "Into the Woods," (from left) Baker, played by Davey Beyer, and the Baker's wife, played by Brynne Nagy, sell sweets to Little Red Riding Hood, played by Grace?Misera, for Little Red Riding Hood's Granny, played by Kayla Prough.
Shows will be held at the Mishler Theatre next week.
More than 30 students from four counties are participating in the program that is led by different members of ACT with experience to share, said ACT Operations Manager Steven C. Helsel.
The students met for rehearsals five evenings a week at Penn State Altoona, which partnered with ACT, he said.

"We have a great group of kids from all over the region who have been working very hard. The students are not only acting in the show, but also doing all the technical aspects too," the show's director Kate Wolf said. "I am very impressed by their energy and their talents. They are very willing to try different things. They have varying degrees of experience and they're from all different school districts so it's really been cool to be exposing them to just some different ways of doing things."
The students have "gotten to learn from a number of different people and be exposed to a lot of different styles and ideas," she said.
Students auditioned and interviewed for the production, Helsel said. Program participants gained hands on production experience and got to participate in workshops, including ones teaching them script analysis and music theory.
"It's taken a huge amount of coordination and planning and time leading up to this but I think it's been a great process and I really think that the kids in both the cast and crew have gotten an excellent educational experience from it, as well as have had a lot of fun and really enjoying being a part of it," Wolf said. "I'm really impressed with the quality of the work that we have had from both the technical students and the acting students."
"I think people will be very impressed with the show and with what they have achieved," she said.
Grace Misera, 14, who will be a ninth-grader this upcoming school year at Bellwood-Antis High School, plays Little Red Riding Hood in the show.
"It's really super fun," she said of playing the role. "She's really, really sassy and ... I can relate to that certainly... But she is a really fun person to play because she interacts with so many people in the show and actually this is the biggest role I've ever played. ... It's really great to be able to act with a whole bunch of people from other iconic fairytales."
She also gets to act opposite her sister, Hannah, who plays the witch and recently graduated from Bellwood-Antis.
The two do have a few scenes together, Grace said. "Most of them are confrontational so we're good at that," she added with a laugh.
Grace said the program is great.
"It's a really awesome new concept because I'm meeting a lot of people from different schools that I wouldn't have met by myself, and this show in general is a really great show and its challenging even for adults to do. ... It's just a really really cool experience," she said.
"They should do it again," she said of the program.

Have you ever spent an entire afternoon playing any of the Smash Bros games with your friends, endlessly knocking each-other into the sky, Team Rocket-style? It's a strangely addictive style of game, and now, you can get your fix in Minecraft too!
YouTube videographer and map-making legend SethBling has designed a fully functioning Smash Bros-style game! It comes with many of your favorite in-game characters - Skeleton, Creeper, Enderman, Spider, Zombie, Blaze, the Wither, even a playable Cactus character - each with their own unique powers! That's not all though; every player class also gets a custom outfit when you select it, complete with a mask of that character type, so everyone knows who you are!
The game mode supports up to 4 players at once. Each player gets 5 lives (with a life being lost by being killed, or knocked off the edge), and is every bit as addictive as the game from which it is inspired. I personally had a chance to play the game with SethBling, Mojang's Marc Watson, and The Shaft's Eric Fullerton before it went live, and all I can say is that the game is completely awesome!
If you're interested in playing, the download link can be found here, on Seth's channel. Enjoy!

Series Preview: Braves (28-23) @ Brewers (24-27)
Pitching Probables:
Tuesday, 5/27, 7:05 p.m. CT: RHP Tim Hudson (7-3, 2.97) vs. RHP Dave Bush (1-5, 6.56)
Wednesday, 5/28, 7:05 p.m. CT: LHP Jo-Jo Reyes (2-2, 5.84) vs. RHP Jeff Suppan (2-4, 4.47)
Thursday, 5/29, 12:05 p.m. CT: RHP Jorge Campillo (1-0, 0.86) vs. RHP Seth McClung (2-1, 3.55)
Things to look for:
1. Can Dave Bush keep pace with Tim Hudson on Tuesday night, as Hudson has returned to his former dominating self, going 7+ innings in 4 of his last 5 starts, and only allowing 2 earned runs in his last start against the Mets?
2. Can the Brewers' pitching staff cool down Braves' third baseman Chipper Jones and his NL leading .416 BA? (Luckily, the Brewers are starting three right-handers...against which Chipper is only hitting .406...).
3. Can Seth McClung outduel Jorge Campillo, who hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 5 games, including 2 starts?
4. Can the Brewers' bats continue to be as hot as they were over the past 7 days, e.g. Gabe Kapler (.444 BA), Bill Hall (.438 BA), Mike Cameron (.355 BA), Jason Kendall (.318 BA), Corey Hart (.310 BA, 4 HR's, 7 RBI's, 7 runs), Prince Fielder (.300 BA), and Rickie Weeks (.286 BA, 2 HR's, 6 runs)?
The Brewers return home for a 9-game homestand, starting out with their first series against Atlanta. The Brewers took only 2 of 7 against the Braves in '07. The Braves currently lead the NL in BA at .283, while the Brewers are 14th at .250; the Braves also have the 2nd lowest ERA in the NL with a 3.61 mark, while the Brewers are 12th with a 4.53 ERA.

Sony offers a brief glimpse of its newest EyeToy project.
May 16th, 2005 -
EyeToy could certainly benefit from a greater consistency of compelling, interactive games and it looks like that's about to change. Speaking as an actual owner of the peripheral, my interest has waned somewhat since I've grown tired of endlessly flailing my arms around. If our initial experience is any indication, it looks like I'll just end up running my mouth a lot. Actually to be honest, I find myself doing nothing more but scratching my head. Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) released a teaser trailer of Eyedentify, a new game currently in development for their interactive fun cam.
Although the footage is rather brief, we've been able to gather that the player will assume the role as an extra sort of eyes for two female espionage operatives. At least, we think they are. The segment opens with both characters apparently waiting on the player (a male gamer) arriving at his "station". Or perhaps he's discovered two hotties on the internet? It all depends on your perspective. Here's how the dialogue opens up
Female 1: "There you are..." one says.
Gamer: "Ok."
Female 2: "You ready?"
Gamer: "Yes. Let's go."
The first thing I thought was "why are they waiting for me?" And where are we going? I am so confused.
The footage then switches to both "operatives" standing in a tight formation on opposite ends, communicating with the player via a holographic projection. Again, more vague plot elements unfold - "Where is he? Time is running out," says one of the operatives.
Next scene: the trailer footage switches to an armored tank crossing over a bridge. A close-up reveals the white-haired operative making a daring ascent aboard the mobile fortress. Queue next scene, revealing a laser scope armed by the other operative. The question is - who is shooting at, and if I were playing - what's my role in this game?
Switch. The next scene reveals the player and the dark-haired operative taking a quick moment to LOL. "What's so funny?" the other operative asks, apparently not very amused about something. Talk about being too late for the joke. Next scene switches to a toy robot being winded up, perhaps as bomb. As you can imagine, all of these sequences are so random and out-of-place, that it's a wonder if anyone could really be intrigued from what's going on.
The final sequence ultimately looked like the most puzzling scene of all since it seems to confirm my suspicions that the player actually is some sort of remote operative for the female duo. Obviously it's too early to make any impressions based on a 30-second teaser. Hopefully we'll get some answers this week should an actual playable version present itself at the Sony booth. Check back soon for hands-on impressions.

Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza
Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza | |
Cavalli-Sforza the 22. October 2010.
Born | Genoa |
January 25, 1922
Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza (born January 25, 1922) is an Italian population geneticist born in Genoa, who has been a professor at Stanford University since 1970 (now emeritus).
Cavalli-Sforza has summed up his work for laymen in five topics covered in Genes, Peoples, and Languages.[1] According to an article published in The Economist, the work of Cavalli-Sforza "challenges the assumption that there are significant genetic differences between human races, and indeed, the idea that 'race' has any useful biological meaning at all". The book illustrates both the problems of constructing a general "hereditary tree" for the entire human race, and some mechanisms and data analysis methods to greatly reduce these problems, thus constructing a fascinating hypothesis of the recent 150,000 years of human expansion, migration, and human diversity formation.[2] In the book Cavalli-Sforza asserts that Europeans are, in their ancestry, about two-thirds Asian and one-third African.[3]
Cavalli-Sforza's The History and Geography of Human Genes[4] (1994 with Paolo Menozzi and Alberto Piazza) is a standard reference on human genetic variation. Cavalli-Sforza also wrote The Great Human Diasporas: The History of Diversity and Evolution (together with his son Francesco).
Schooling and positions[edit]
Cavalli-Sforza entered Ghislieri College in Pavia in 1939 and he received his M.D. from the University of Pavia in 1944. After the war he followed studies at Cambridge with the statistician and evolutionary biologist Ronald A. Fisher in the area of bacterial genetics. They were followed by years of teaching in northern Italy, in Milan, Parma, and Pavia, and then he moved in 1970 to Stanford, where he has remained.
In 1999 he won the Balzan Prize for the Science of human origins. He has been a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences since 1994.He was awarded the Telesio-Galilei Academy Award in 2011 for Biology.
Specific contributions[edit]
Cavalli-Sforza initiated a new field of research by combining the concrete findings of demography with a newly-available analysis of blood groups in an actual human population. He also studied the connections between migration patterns and blood groups.
Writing in the mid-1960s with another genetics student of Ronald A. Fisher, Anthony W. F. Edwards, Cavalli-Sforza pioneered statistical methods for estimating evolutionary trees (phylogenies); to estimate evolutionary trees, they used maximum likelihood estimation. Edwards and Cavalli-Sforza wrote about trees of populations within the human species, where genetic differences are affected both by treelike patterns of historical separation of populations and by spread of genes among populations by migration and admixture. In later papers, Cavalli-Sforza has written about the effects of both divergence and migration on human gene frequencies.
While Cavalli-Sforza is best known for his work in genetics, he also, in collaboration with Marcus Feldman and others, initiated the sub-discipline of cultural anthropology known alternatively as coevolution, gene-culture coevolution, cultural transmission theory or dual inheritance theory. The publication Cultural Transmission and Evolution: A Quantitative Approach (1981) made use of models from population genetics to investigate the transmission of culturally transmitted units. This line of inquiry initiated research into the correlation of patterns of genetic and cultural dispersion.
His proposed ambitious Human Genome Diversity Project to gather further genetic data from populations around the world was accused[by whom?] of "cultural insensitivity, neocolonialism, and biopiracy."[5]
Linguist William Poser in Language Log has criticized some of Cavalli-Sforza's comments about linguistics,[6] in particular the suggestion, echoing controversial linguists Merritt Ruhlen and Joseph Greenberg, that some mainstream linguists are unnecessarily conservative about hypothesized long-range relationships between language families, and an overstatement that Greenberg's critics "have ruled out the possibility of hierarchical classification", which Cavalli-Sforza did not defend when challenged by Poser, but deferred to Ruhlen. Cavalli-Sforza's interest in hypothesized large-scale language families is as a basis for comparison with similarly large-scale postulated genetic classifications of human populations.[citation needed]

I am a traveller and a photographer of people.
I look for photographic environments; sometimes I find photographs in the streets, sometimes markets, sometimes even rubbish dumps. I especially look for frames and reflections, for realities and myths. I try to catch the drama and mundane of the people in these spaces.

Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet and Clank tells the story of two unlikely heroes as they struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind - a foolhardy "lombax" who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way they'll learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one's own identity.
Planned for release in early 2015, Ratchet & Clank, written by T.J. Fixman, will be directed by Jerrica Cleland and will feature key talent James A. Taylor, David Kaye and Jim Ward from the bestselling Playstation video game franchise reprising their roles as Ratchet, Clank and Qwark.
