AKRON, OH (WOIO) - A hearing will be held Wednesday afternoon for a former Akron Police Captain convicted of murdering his wife.
Douglas Prade has been in prison for almost 12 years, convicted of killing his wife Doctor Margo Prade the day before Thanksgiving 1997.
His lawyers point is simple, DNA technology has improved and what couldn't be seen back then may be seen now.
At issue also, a bite mark on Margo's arm that was not tested.
Douglas Prade has always maintained his innocence, and now has won the support of the Innocence Project. He thinks modern DNA testing, advanced testing that wasn't available at the time of his conviction could prove he did not fire 6 bullets into Dr. Margo Prade.

|Rain and herbicides may have caused damage to soybeans
|Thursday, June 27, 2013 12:15 AM
Ag Educator
Putnam County
Valor® or Authority® herbicide damage on soybeans is showing up in Putnam County. These herbicides are pre-plant or pre-emerge herbicides. Heavy rains two weeks ago splashed these products up on the tender leaves of the newly emerging soybean plants and could potentially harm soybean growth. Often the plants appear stunted and the leaves may be crinkled or mis-shaped. Most plants should grow out of this damage but in some cases, the soybeans may need to be replanted. Good growing conditions should help the plants to recover.
Here are some common warnings when using these products. Authority/Spartan contains the single active ingredient sulfentrazone. Do not apply Authority/Apartan if soybeans have emerged, otherwise severe crop injury will result. Valor is similar to Authority and controls many common annual broadleaf weeds. Do not use more than three ounces per acre of Valor per season. Do not use Valor in soybean fields where products containing flufenacet (Axiom, Domain), alachlor (Intro), metolachlor (Dual), or dimethenamid (Outlook) will be used or crop injury may occur.
Cover Crop Field Day: 9 to 11 a.m. on July 2, OARDC NW Ag Research Station 4240 Range Line Road, Custar. View demo cover crop plantings, cereal rye no-till soybean, crimper/roller demo, cover crop supplies discussion. For more information, see agcrops.osu.edu/calendar/cover-crop-field-day.
Crop Insurance – Since the planting date of June 5 and June 20 has passed for corn and soybeans, here are some options if you missed the planting date. For details, visit the USDA Risk Management Agency at www.rma.usda.gov

4R's of Phosphorus Fertilizer Management: 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. July 18, Custar, NW Ag Research Branch. Phosphorus fertilizer is essential to Ohio crop production when applied at correct rates, timing and placement. But, if nutrient applications are not managed, farm field phosphorus can be lost into water resources and promote Hazardous Algal Blooms (HAB). Major water quality problems have occurred in Lake Erie, Grand Lake St. Marys and other Ohio water resources in recent years. To protect Ohio water resources, phosphorus fertilizer must be put in the right place.
"Right place likely holds the greatest opportunity for improvement (in water quality as it related to farm field P loss)," according to Dr. Tom Bruulsema, the featured speaker on The Right Place to Put Phosphorus.
From 8 a.m. to noon on July 25: Field Crops Day at Northwestern Agricultural Research Branch: NW Ag Research Station, 4240 Range Line Road, Custar.

Static X really did it with this album, even though they had a dry streak with "shadow zone" and "beneath, between, beyond", this was good enough to hold me over until "start a war" went on sale. This album has some great work by the band. Songs like "get to the gone", "black and white" "this is not" and their most popular song from this album"cold" were evidence of the talent this band actually has. something that makes this cd better than "wisconsin death trip is that their songs have the techno keyboard in the background, but it's more used to enhance the song rather than to be a main instrument like on their previous album. Overall I think is Static X's best album so far.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
With Static-X's debut album "Wisconsin Death Trip" being such a success, a second album was eagarly anticipated. "Machine" is no doubt a quality release, however in no way lives up to the genius of "Wisconsin Death Trip". Tripp, although displaying many inovative talents on guitar, in my opinion doesn't successfully fill the void that Koichi left (I still can't figure out why he left…). Many songs on the album also leave the listener "hanging", never really developing or excelling into it's full potential, kinda like a joke with no punch-line. Ken's drums hit harder for more bass (plus), however Tripp is not as heavy as Koichi was, and Wayne's vocals don't display as much variety and range as they did in "Wisconsin Death Trip". However "Machine" is still a great, dynamic album, but in no way challenges the greatness of "Wisconsin Death Trip".
Having not purchased the "Wisconsin Death Trip" CD, Static-X's first release, I cannot judge their new CD, "Machine" by those standards. However, I believe this CD is still great. Others have questioned the placement of the first track, "Bien Vendos", but I find it amusing. It is composed of happy music, clapping, and the sounds of laughing individuals, obviously having a great time. Then, without warning, it cuts to the loud scream of the start of "Get to the Gone," the second best track on the album. The transition is just funny."Permanence" and "Black and White" seem to register the same with me, as both have their own unique sounds, but neither really hits it with me as "This is Not" and "Get to the Gone."As far as "This is Not" is concerned, it is simply the best song on the album. If you did not download the song from Static-X.com, I suggest you do so. If you hate the song, this album is definately not for you.Anyway, the remainder of the tracks have their own unique sound and are fantastic. "Cold" and "Olsego Undead", despite their lack of heavy lyrics, are pretty great songs. If you are a fan of slower music, these songs are great to listen to. Sort of an intermission, so to speak. But then, with "Burn to Burn", "Structural Defect", and "Machine" following, the heavy riffs continue. I think "Burn to Burn" and "Machine" rank in the top songs on this album, only falling short to "This is Not" and "Get to the Gone."Finally, the outro, "A Dios Alma Perdida", serves as another intermission of sorts. It is an interesting song to listen to after having listened to the entire CD's heavy riffs. Great CD.
First I must say, I was very disappointed when I heard Koichi left the band. I think Tripp will be a decent replacement, but still not quite as good as the latter. I also need to stress that Tripp did none of the recordings for Machine, Static did the lead guitar (if you don't believe me, go to mtv.com, go to Static-X's page and there is an interview about the release).Now, let me say this has alot of emphasis on base and techno, the guitars are still strong, but not as up front as on Wisconsin Death Trip. I like the change of pace alot, as it shows that this isn't just a carbon copy as some bands have done.On to the songs. As far as the best tracks on the album (in my opinion) they are: Machine, This is Not, Permanence, Get to the Gone, Structural Defect, Otsego Undead (which sounds alot better than on the Dracula 2000 soundtrack), Black and White, Burn to Burn, … in a Bag, and Cold (I'm not much one for slow songs).Now, all in all, this is an excellent follow-up. A slight change of pace, a little bit more techno, a little less guitar-heavy. Honestly, it hasn't left my CD Player since I got it the weekend after release. Its just the stuff to get me up for work.
This is Static-X's second full-length CD. It was released in 2001.
Now, I have all of Static-X's CDs (not counting Beneath, Between, Beyond) and I must say they're all good. For the most part, I don't see what most people have against "Machine", Static-X's sophomore effort. I think "Machine" is better than "Wisconsin Death Trip" and "Shadow Zone." Not by much, but it is. The album starts out with Bien Venidos, an intro that sounds a little Mexican for some reason and has nothing to do with the rest of the CD.
"Machine" has a little bit of everything for all metal lovers. There's the hard, loud screaming,(Get to the Gone) the instrumental (A Dios Alma Perdida) and the sweet techno metal (This is Not, …In a Bag).
Wayne Static's vocals are probably the loudest in his career on this CD. The song Get to the Gone is practically screaming and yelling and This is Not is loud. Also, Koichi Fukuda (guitars, keyboards, programming) is replaced with Tripp Rex Elsen, their new guitarist. Tripp stays around until Static's third offering, "Shadow Zone", but he was then accused of child molestation, so he won't be in "Start A War."
Wayne Static still has his signature HUGE spiked hair and the band still has their talent. One by one, I'll go through the tracks and tell you what I think of them. My rating system goes from a 1 to a 10.
1= horrible song, it needs to be burned
10= Awesome!
1. Bien Venidos- All "Venidos" is is 23 seconds of cheering and cheerful elevator-type music. It deserves no rating, because it's 23 seconds long. So, anyway, just when you think "Bien Venidos" is starting, it gets interrupted by screaming and then…
2. Get to the Gone- Possibly the LOUDEST song Static-X has produced, I'd have to say this is one of the high points of the disc. The chorus is basically just Wayne screaming and then about 2 lines. Great song.
Rating: 11/10 Time: 2:49
3. Permanence- "Permanence", although not as loud as "Get to the Gone", still is a great song. This song actually has a chorus and the chorus is probably the best part of the song. The guitars, the drums and everything else are just plain great and nothing is really wrong with the song.
Rating: 10/10 Time: 4:01
4. Black and White- I guess you could sort of relate "Black & White" to "Permanence" in a way. Although I would say "Permanence" is better and it's more techno, "Black & White" is still enjoyable. Could have been better because the lyrics don't make much sense, but, hey, who cares?
Rating: 9/10 Time: 3:50
5. This is Not- I'd say the most popular and the most commercial song on the album is "This is Not". I'm guessing the majority of metal fans have heard this song and this song might have gained some new fans of Static-X. Probably the best on the album.
Rating: 11/10 Time: 2:57
6. Otsego Undead- Yeah…the second one of the "Otsego" songs by Static. I'd say that this is one of the worst songs on the album, because the only real lyrics are "Otsego otsego otsego otsego go otsego otsego otsego otsego go." Then there's a verse of mumbling that you can't understand. So, in summary, meh, it's okay.
Rating: 7/10 Time: 3:29
7. Cold- Following up the okay "Otsego Undead" is "Cold". As it said in the Amazon description, this could be on a horror soundtrack. And, it actually is! You can find this song on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. But anyway, this song is good and a much better follow-up to "Otsego".
Rating: 9/10 Time: 3:40
8. Structural Defect- The first time I heard this song, I thought "Hmmm…It's okay, I guess." Since then, I've grown to like this song more and more. The music is better than most of the music on the whole CD, but I still think the lyrics are just OK at best. Better than "Undead", but still basically filler.
Rating: 7/10 Time: 3:39
9. …In A Bag- Although this is one of the better songs on the CD, the lyrics are just wrong. They're talking about s*** and how he's drowning in it or something. That's kinda unnecessary, but hey, the song's good.
Rating: 9/10 Time:4:21
10. Burn to Burn- Well, about this song, I don't exactly like it. It sounds like Wayne's voice changed or something and that's not a good thing. It's alright, but the worst song on the CD.
Rating: 6/10 Time: 4:17
11. Machine- This used to be my favorite song on the CD, but now it's my 3rd favorite. The title track is equally as enjoyable as many other songs and the song never really gets old. The chorus is the high point.
Rating: 10/10 Time: 3:27
12. A Dios Alma Perdida- This song is an instrumental. I usually like instrumentals but I've never really gotten into this one. It's the longest track on the CD. (Not surprising, since most of their songs are between 2 and 3 minutes long.) It's okay, but I never really liked it.
Rating: 7/10 Time: 5:58
All in all, Machine is a good CD and probably Static's best offering. Although there are a few songs I'm not terribly fond of, I'd give this a 9 1/2 out of 10. Here's my ratings for everything.
Vocals: A
Drumming/Guitars: A
Lyrics: B
Production: A-
If you're a Static-X fan, you probably already have this. If you've never heard Static, it would be good starting off here because it's their best album, followed closely by Wisconsin Death Trip. Tune in soon for my review for Static-X's 3rd album, "Shadow Zone."

Exxon says the energy renaissance in the U.S. has staying power and predicts that North America will become a net exporter of oil and gas by the middle of the next decade.
The oil and gas giant's latest long-term energy outlook says the rapid growth of production in the U.S. and Canada will lead to more oil and gas being sent overseas.
Exxon Mobil Corp. also predicts that natural gas use will keep increasing, at the expense of coal. By 2040, natural gas will account for 30 percent of global electricity generation, compared with less than 25 percent today, Exxon says.
Oil and gas production in the U.S. has surged thanks to technologies like hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. That's helped decrease the nation's dependence on energy imports.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (1/28/14) – Kendra Harrison was named Southeastern Conference Runner of the Week after posting two world-leading times last Saturday, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Bryant performed incredibly at the home Rod McCravy Memorial Meet on Saturday.
Her showing was all the more impressive given the fact that it came on just about the most elevated stagea collegian could be on during late January.
Kendra Harrison junior hurdler posted two world-leading times last weekend.
The McCravy was named United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) "National Meet of the Week" as the competition featured three top-10 teams (No. 1 Oregon, No. 4 Florida and No. 6 Kentucky) in addition to No. 19 Baylor, traditionally strong programs like Ohio State, Miami, and Virginia and SEC rivals Tennessee and Missouri.
Harrison posted a time that is tied for the world lead (7.96) in the women's 60-meter hurdles, and anchored the world-leading 4x400-meter relay time (3:33.35) with approximately a 53.0 split.
She also lowered her school-record 60-meter hurdle time to 7.96, winning against a field which included last year's national-runner up in the event, Tiffani McReynolds, as four of the top seven hurdlers in the nation were in the McCravy 60H final.
Her 60H time was just .01 shy of the all-time collegiate top-10.
Harrison and UK's win in the 4x400-meter came against defending NCAA Champion Oregon, a team which returned three of four legs from its 2013 indoor championship lineup.Harrison was an honorable mention selection for USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week on Monday.

San Mateo County Sheriff Greg Munks and San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier announced Thursday that the county will receive over $24 million dollars for improvements to the county jail.
In a news release Thursday, the sheriff's office reported that out of ten large sized counties that applied for the construction money, San Mateo County's application was ranked first by the committee.
The state funding comes under under the auspices of SB 1022.
"I am pleased with the recommendation issued by this committee. This is a culmination of many months of collaboration and hard work by San Mateo County stakeholders (the Sheriff's Office, the Board of Supervisors, the Probation Department, the County Manager's Office, and the County Counsel's Office). These improvements to the Maguire facility will enhance our ability to provide meaningful treatment to mentally ill inmates and help deal with the impacts of realignment. Ultimately, we are striving to improve outcomes for those incarcerated in our county and as a result, reduce recidivism and make our county an even safer place to live," San Mateo County Sheriff Greg Munks said.
Supervisor Adrienne Tissier, who along with Sheriff Munks and San Mateo County Probation Chief John Keene recently appeared before the committee to present the County's application, applauded the recommendation as well.
"The Board of Supervisors is committed to enhancing care for mentally ill inmates and these improvements reflect the Board's long held priority to adequately fund mental health care for all San Mateo County residents who need it, including those who are incarcerated," Supervisor Tissier said.
Projects funded in the application include renovation of the now dormant Maguire Correctional Facility Treatment Center into a Critical Treatment Center for the most severely mentally ill inmates; conversion of one 80-bed general population pod in the older part of the Maguire Facility into a Mental Health Wellness Pod designed to treat inmates with less than acute mental health issues; a new recreation yard designed to meet the needs of realigned inmates who are expected to be in jail for lengthier sentences; an Inmate Retail Vocational Store that will train re-entry and work furlough inmates on all aspects of retail skills and will be open to the public; and needed seismic improvements to the entirety of the Maguire Facility. The recommendations are scheduled to be approved in a vote to take place at the January 16th meeting of the Board of State and Community Corrections.

Vikings-Cowboys matchup of the day: Friday
Here's a look at another key matchup in Sunday's Cowboys-Vikings game.
Spencer: Cowboys not far away defensively
The Cowboys' defense was playing at an exceptionally high level late last season prior to the playoff loss to the Vikings, and OLB Anthony Spencer told PFW he thinks the team can follow a similar path this time around.
Cowboys elevate Holly to 53-man roster
The Cowboys signed WR Jesse Holly from their practice squad on Friday and released OT Robert Brewster.
Vikings-Cowboys matchup of the day: Thursday
Here's a look at another key matchup in Sunday's Cowboys-Vikings game.
Cowboys sign OT Parnell
The Cowboys signed OT Jermey Parnell from the Saints' practice squad on Thursday.
They said it: Vikings edition
Here's a sampling of things heard this week by Vikings and Cowboys players and coaches.
Favre would consider sitting to rest elbow
Vikings QB Brett Favre said Wednesday he would consider resting his sore elbow and sitting out games.
Vikings' 60-second rant: Loser goes home Sunday
Sobering news for the loser of Cowboys-Vikings: Since the NFL expanded the playoffs to 12 teams in 1990, there have been only five clubs that have started 1-4 and made the postseason.
America loves 'America's Team'
A new poll reports that for the fourth year in a row, the Cowboys have been voted as the most popular NFL team.
Cowboys' problems run deeper than simple mistakes
It would be easy to write off the Cowboys' 1-3 start as a result of a lack of discipline, but Dallas also is suffering through some poor play by players who were thought to be key pieces.
Jones wrestles away lead in Cowboys backfield
In quite possibly the league's most erratic backfield situation, Felix Jones has regained the lead for carries in Dallas.
Titans continue NFC dominance in 34-27 win vs. Cowboys
A pair of costly Cowboys mistakes led the Titans to a 34-27 win in Dallas.
Cowboys' Buehler still must improve kickoffs
Although he led the NFL in touchbacks on kickoffs last season, Cowboys PK David Buehler is struggling this year, according to NFC East Whispers.
Cowboys' run defense comes into focus
The Cowboys spent the bye week working on consistent tackling and maintaining gap responsibility, which was a problem on what amounted to three big runs in the last game.
Lee, the leading tackler for the Dallas Cowboys, has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season because of a right big toe injury.||||||| Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday an MRI showed ligament damage that will require surgery in the next week or so, ending hopes of Lee returning in four to six weeks. Garrett said he expects Lee's leadership role to shift from the field to the sideline when the New York Giants visit Sunday.
Lee is active and in the starting lineup, wearing a cast on his dislocated left wrist after missing last week's game.||||||| Lee should provide the Cowboys with a huge boost against Buffalo.
Lee has left Sunday's game against Washington because of a concussion sustained covering a punt return.||||||| Lee remained down on the field at the end of the play early in the second quarter. After being tended to by trainers, Lee got up and gingerly walked to the sideline. The Cowboys said Lee would not return to the game.
Lee picked off Peyton Manning twice and ran one in for a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 OT win at Indianapolis.||||||| The rookie is getting comfortable on defense and showed his talent by picking off the legendary Manning not once, but twice.
Lee is taking Keith Brooking's place. Brooking suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason game against San Diego on Saturday.||||||| Lee, who learned under the tutelage of the legendary Joe Paterno at Penn State, made his preseason debut against the Chargers and made 13 tackles.

Associated Press
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. — Authorities say a Maine man went to the Rhode Island beach house of singer Taylor Swift and handed a security guard a note telling her to call him and leaving his cellphone number. He's been charged with trespassing.
Police have said they gave 55-year-old Joseph Bernatche a no trespass notice after he allegedly was on Swift's property in April for a similar reason.
Bernatche, of Portland, is due in court Friday in Rhode Island for a pretrial conference. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of willful trespass after his July 27 arrest.
His lawyer, Michael J. Robinson, says Bernatche was not on Swift's Westerly property when he delivered the note, so he did not trespass.
Robinson says he doesn't know whether Bernatche has met Swift.

jesus jay...you've lost my e-respect with those comments...yeah hockeys so much better dump the puck and chase it into the corner with 4 guys fisting for the puck between their feet then get into a fistfight.
Todays games were incredible 4-0 and 5-2 with amazing goals and great action from both games. Something tells me your not fully wop, prolly half jew.
Question for those of you who watched the games: The games run at the same time, correct? So do you watch both at the same time, or watch one and follow the scoreline of the other, or what? I watch the games on FSN here and they air them back to back. I like it this way, but if I make the mistake of jumping online between the two games the second is often spoiled for me.
I found this thread at halftime of the Inter - Schalke game
Anyway, I wasn't able to watch all of the Madrid game - just the first 20 minutes or so...by the time I left Spurs already seemed doomed.
I really enjoyed watching Schalke pummel Inter, though. I've always enjoyed watching Inter lose. Some part of me detests Italian soccer. The only team I ever really followed when I was younger was Barca, and I still consider myself part of their (bandwagon) fan-base. Tomorrow should be fun
You have to pick one game and catch the highlights of the other. Since I don't have satellite TV I have to go to the pub to watch a match, and that always means you end up watching whichever match features an English team. This can be really annoying when the televised game is some ditchwater 0-0 between Chelsea and Copenhagen when Bayern and Inter are playing out a 3-2 classic in the other match.
Tonight was a similar situation. Yeah, we got four goals in the Madrid game, but Inter - Schalke looked like an all-time classic from the way the goal updates kept popping up. I did catch five minutes of highlights before leaving though. Stankovich's volley was pretty incredible - he did something last season in Serie A, as I recall.

what are you referring to here? to send off the spurs player early in the game? I missed the tackle that lead to that, but heard the announcers say that "[the ref] really had no other option. [the guy who got sent off] made it too easy"
The games later today should be great. I just realized that Madrid and Barca could very well meet in the semis...won't that be somethin'....

No excuses from Aguero
1:56pm Sunday 10th February 2013 in Sport
MANCHESTER City striker Sergio Aguero insisted his side had "no excuse" for losing at St Mary's last night.
"Some days, nothing works the way it should," the Argentina international said on Twitter.
"This was one of those days. There's no excuse - we need to work hard to forge ahead.
"It all looks a bit grim right now, but I won't believe giving up is an option."
City captain Vincent Kompany was not in the squad yesterday due to injury, although felt the need to speak out in the wake of the loss.
"Our fans sang and stood behind us all game yesterday, despite losing," he tweeted today.
"Just reminds me that there will always be a lot to play for. #MCFC !!"

Maximum respect for him not making excuses like his boss.
Mind you as an Italian its not surprising, their army often wear their shirts back to front to make it look like they're attacking. Mancini could learn from this
We were sublime and they were rubbish.

Kansas City Chiefs
Derrick Johnson - #56 - LB
|6' 3"/ 242 lbs.
|Waco, TX
|Years played
|2005, 1st round, 15th pick by Chiefs
McClain won't speak to media until Raiders sell out
Raiders rookie MLB Rolando McClain broke his media silence on Monday, but only to make a plea for Raiders fans to fill Oakland Coliseum.
Chiefs' RB duo an unstoppable force
The 2010 season's best backfield tandem resides in Kansas City, which is proving again that two rushers can have ample value on one team.
Succop's FG in OT lifts Chiefs over Bills 13-10
Jamaal Charles rushed for 177 yards on 22 carries and Ryan Succop kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired in overtime to lift the Chiefs to a 13-10 victory over the winless Bills on Sunday.
Chiefs' Bowe quietly emerging as star
It might not have shown in the numbers until recently, but this has been a different year for Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe.
Chiefs sign veteran LB Simoneau
The Chiefs signed veteran LB Mark Simoneau on Wednesday and released DE Atiyyah Ellison.
Johnson defensive playmaker Chiefs had been missing
Head coach Todd Haley must be happy that he finally got on the same page as ILB Derrick Johnson this offseason, because his reinsertion of Johnson into the starting lineup has ignited the Chiefs' defense.
Bowe, Chiefs' passing game coming alive
It took longer than his owners had hoped, but Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe is finally starting to live up to his lofty potential.
Chiefs run all over Jags in 42-20 win
Derrick Johnson returned an interception for a score and Matt Cassel threw two touchdown passes to Dwayne Bowe leading Kansas City to a 42-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Faith in DE depth allows Chiefs to deal Magee
We hear that the Chiefs' reasons for shipping DE Alex Magee to Tampa Bay at the NFL trade deadline were two-fold.
Chiefs add DT Ellison
The Chiefs have signed DT Atiyyah Ellison to fill the roster sport left open when Kansas City traded DE Alex Magee to the Buccaneers for a 2011 draft pick.
Chiefs trade DE Magee to Bucs
The NFL's trade deadline passed at 4 p.m. ET with just one trade occurring, the Chiefs sending DE Alex Magee to the Bucs for a 2011 draft choice.
Johnsons late TD lifts Texans past K.C.
Matt Schaub threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Andre Johnson with 28 seconds left to give Houston a stunning fourth-quarter comeback in the Texans' 35-31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Moeaki already Cassel's most trusted target
While the Chiefs were hoping that this would finally be the season WR Dwayne Bowe became a go-to guy, it instead has been rookie TE Tony Moeaki who has emerged as the top target for QB Matt Cassel.
Passing game could prevent Chiefs from being great
The Chiefs clearly have made tremendous progress in many areas this season and have all the ingredients of a great team except one: a passing game.
No team 4-0 for first time since 1970
The Colts 19-9 win over the Chiefs in Week Five marked the first time since 1970 that no team will start the season 4-0.
Johnson will play Sunday.||||||| The Kansas City linebacker hurt his ankle in their preseason finale.
Johnson has signed a restricted free agent tender and will remain with the Kansas City Chiefs.||||||| Johnson was the Chiefs' first-round pick out of Texas in 2005. But early last season, for reasons he said were never fully explained by the coaching staff, Johnson was moved to part-time duty. Johnson had a key sack of Ben Roethlisberger in a victory over Pittsburgh, and he returned two interceptions for touchdowns in a 44-24 victory over Denver in the season finale.
Johnson, who has played only sparingly the last five games, returned to practice Wednesday and said that he will play Sunday.||||||| Getting its surest tackler back will be a big boost for a defense that got embarrassed in a 31-28 overtime loss last week at Cleveland.
Johnson is expected to be available for the Chiefs' game on Sunday at Cleveland, according to kcchiefs.com.||||||| The linebacker was used sparingly in the team's 19-10 win over Denver on Thursday and he is expected to be back to full health after suffering an ankle injury on Nov. 5 at St. Louis. Johnson's return bolsters the Kansas City defense with a linebacker that had 49 tackles, 4 1-2 sacks and two forced fumbles in nine games.
Johnson is listed as out with an ankle injury for the Chiefs' contest against Oakland on Sunday. The linebacker missed last Sunday's 13-10 loss to Miami with the injury.||||||| Johnson has 49 tackes and 4 1-2 sacks with one fumble recovery in eight games this season. Keyaron Fox replaced him in the lineup against the Dolphins and is expected to do so again versus the Raiders.

Personal Story
DaFin was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in December of 2004. She later tested positive for the BRCA1 gene. She fought hard for seven years all the while advocating the importance of testing for hereditary cancer. She lost her mother to Ovarian Cancer in 2009 and supported her daughter, who also tested positive for BRCA1, as she completed her preventive surgeries.
She is survived by her husband of 33 years, Wayne Koontz. Her daughter, Jami Barbee and her husband Andy; Her son Josh Koontz and his wife, Jordan; and five grandchildren who were the lights of her life: Austin, Ashtyn, Ella, River, and Danna, who will always be Mammy's babies.
Our hope is that with the help of donations in her memory, the support and education provided by FORCE will help others in their stuggle with the BRCA1 gene.

It's kind of irritating that I downloaded this thing and now that I'm listening to it, I hear absolutely no difference from my previous edition. Am I missing something here? There's nothing on the level of the treatment that Nothing got back in 2006. I guess that's kind of what I was expecting. It's not a pretty clean record as it is anyway — nothing on the level of studio wizardry, but nothing out of balance.
Meshuggah Biography - Meshuggah Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
This is Meshuggah's 1995 breakthrough album featuring songs that define their unique sound and that are still highlights of their live shows. Also includes the Selfcaged EP (out of print since the early '90s) and the None EP. Housed in a Super Jewel Case with tons of bonus material, this is vital material for any longtime Meshuggah fan, and a proper introduction to their older material for new fans gained during their highly successful campaigns for 2002's Nothing and 2008's monster, obZen!

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Well the verdict is out- these new Meshuggah re-releases claiming to be re-mastered are in fact a ploy for you to spend your hard earned $ on cool looking jewel cases and booklets-that's it. Not that this amazing album needed to be remastered in any way I was at least expecting to hear some oomph in volume/loudness. Guess what-there was none. I feel duped. Their is no change in sound quality from the original release-none. I listened to it in my car and my killer home audio-same sounding cd. This is b.s. The jewel case is an interesting design, but that is the only difference, hardly a reason to buy a cd. The extra songs are demo versions of songs off the DEI, and they are pretty pointless. Actually the song Aztec Two-Step is from the None ep, I never heard before. This song is actually pretty damn killer!. So if you never heard the song, just download it off iTunes and save yourself some $. I was prepared to buy the other new Meshuggah remasters, but not after hearing this one. Plus why re-release Contradictions Collapse w/the none ep? They just did that less than 10 yrs ago. Nuclear Blast dropped the ball on this one and it's just to get new Meshuggah fans to spend money since Meshuggah are now the hot metal act at the moment. I want my $ back for this scam of a so-called remaster!!!
Another great CD by the best band in the world. DEI is full of hardcore riffs, screams, Bass, and Drums. This CD is a little diffrent from there album just before this one "Contradictions Collapse" Its a little more edgey and in your face. The album starts off with "Future Breed Machine" "the best song on the CD, my opinion." This song gets right in your face. Eveytime I hear it puts a smile on my face its great. All of the other songs are just as good though. Pick this CD up today. If you heard any of there other stuff and liked it. You sould like this.
Regardless of what else might be posted, this is a very worthwhile album. Not only does it bring back one of my favorite Meshuggah albums, but with additional tracks. However, brace yourself… if you are looking for entirely different versions, you will be disappointed. Unlike the re-release of Chaosphere, with four completely different versions of Future Breed Machine (one of my favorites, originally included on this album), the final tracks on this will be like re-listening to a couple you just have. The live version of God's of Rapture and Aztec Two-Step (one of the most brutal bada** Meshuggah songs) totally make up for it (not to mention that the demo tracks are still sweet.) All in all, this re-issue/remastered album is for the new listener, just delving into chaotic metal, and the old fan who has worn through the foil of their disc. It's not really an item for someone with a good working original release, but for all that is brutal, be sure to download Aztec Two-Step. I was originally going to give this four stars, but since the other two reviews slammed it in all of its perfection, I feel it only necessary to give it the ratings boost it deserves.

Partnering with IODA, Beijing-based digital music provider R2G launched the Wawawa (for the moment, Internet Explorer only now Firefox-friendly) online music store this month. The subscriber-based model has a catalogue of over one million full-length recordings of international music, and could present a welcome alternative to the "short tail" pirated recordings found on Chinese search portals like Baidu.
It's an interesting and ambitious project, and time will tell if China's netizens will warm to the idea of paying for mp3s. No word in the below press release on how the songs will be priced, but if Wawawa is user-friendly, tailored to the Chinese market and to individual subscribers, and attractively priced, it may just achieve a critical mass (we're thinking of iTunes here), where customers are willing to shell out money for a breadth and depth of catalogue with reliably better quality recordings than Baidu's current offerings.

Writing the Personal Essay: Capturing a Moment in 1000 Words with Jane Ganahl, Sunday(11/4)
Instructor: Jane Ganahl
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Number of sessions: 1
Meeting time: Sunday morning, 10 am to 1 pm
Dates: Sunday, November 4
Course fee: $75, $50 deposit required.
Bagels, juice & coffee provided!
To register, contact the instructor. All deposits are nonrefundable.
Description: Today at lunch, an elderly woman finished her restaurant meal and tiptoed over to bury her nose deeply in a huge urn full of lavender lilacs by my table. She looked up at me, we smiled at each other – and then she was gone. I began to ponder right then how to turn that tiny but potent moment into an essay. Perhaps I'd muse on whether someday I'd also learn to smell the (metaphoric or literal) flowers? Every day there are moments such as these that are ripe for mining, and for spinning into words that tell a universal truth. How do you identify those moments? How do you then find their universal truths? And then, how on earth do you tell the story in 800 to 1200 words? All it takes is a little tuning in – to life, to yourself – and some practice with the writing part. On this morning, we'll discuss all the above, and students will learn how to write a first-class personal essay – as a writing exercise to help hone their craft, and perhaps even for publication. And I'll give advice on how to get your essays read – both online and in print.
Instructor Bio: Award-winning journalist Jane Ganahl has written more than 500 essays during her career as newspaper columnist, magazine freelancer, and anthology contributor. She has penned essays for a variety of publications including Hearst Newspapers, Bazaar, HuffingtonPost.com, Ladies Home Journal, Salon.com, RollingStone.com, SecondAct.com, Match.com and more.

A CHARITABLE group in Worcester is holding a sale and exhibition later this month to raise awareness of a campaign working to stamp out polio across the world.
The event at Gwillam's Farm Shop in Ombersley Road, Bevere, run by the Worcester Vigornia Rotary Club will run from 9am until 5pm on Friday, February 21 and Saturday, February 22.
Members of the club will be on hand to answer questions about the End Polio Now campaign and purple crocus badges will be on offer along with a wide range of cookery books.
Club member Celia Gardner said: "Polio kills and paralyses young children.
"It spreads like wildfire. There's no cure, but it can be prevented through immunisation."
"Twenty-five years ago polio struck 350,000 children each year – but thanks to the work of Rotary and others there were only 223 cases in 2012.
"We are so close to a polio-free world so please visit us at Gwillam's to help make history.
"We need to conquer polio once and for all."
The group meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month at the Fownes Hotel in City Walls Road.
For more information call 0844 963 2482.

MIAMI -- Emilio Bonifacio has not played in more than a month, but he expects to learn more about when he can play again in the near future.
Bonifacio, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 20, is recovering from a left thumb sprain. The speedy center fielder is scheduled to see the doctor on Tuesday to get a better idea of when he will be able to return to action.
The switch-hitting Bonifacio took dry swings from both sides of the plate and felt no pain. He has not been cleared to take swings off a tee yet, but hopes to begin doing so after seeing the doctor on Tuesday.
Bonifacio has done a lot of running and throwing, but he has not done any catching yet. The 27-year-old believes there will be no issues once he is allowed to resume all baseball activities.
The Marlins suggested Bonifacio use a guard when he returns to action to prevent injury in the future. Bonifacio, who injured his thumb while trying to steal second base, obliged and will wear a specially fitted guard once he is cleared to play.
The guard will be similar to the ones many players are wearing when they run the bases. Bonifacio asked fellow Dominican speedster Rafael Furcal to send him a picture of his guard, because he says that style is more comfortable than the bulkier models that require straps to keep them in place. Bonifacio described Furcal's model as something similar to a glove that can be pulled on and off.
Marlins give Dobbs another start at first base
MIAMI -- Greg Dobbs had a big day on Sunday, and Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen rewarded the veteran with another start at first base on Monday.
Dobbs went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs against the Blue Jays while filling in for Gaby Sanchez at first. The 33-year-old's success at the plate was part of a nine-run offensive explosion that helped the Marlins snap a six-game losing streak.
"You're not going to change a lineup, unless there is a lefty pitching or something like that, the day after you score nine runs," Guillen said. "I think if we continue to play like this, then this is the lineup we're going to keep."
Dobbs is batting .291 with a home run and 16 RBIs over 102 at-bats this season. Sanchez is batting .195 with two home runs and 16 RBIs over 174 at-bats. The Marlins have also used Logan Morrison and Austin Kearns at first base at times this season.
The Marlins' offense has struggled in June, scoring five runs or fewer in every game prior to Sunday's 9-0 victory over the Blue Jays. The previous time the Marlins scored over five runs was on May 25 against the Giants.
"Right now, I don't think anybody should be asking for playing time," Guillen said. "I would have a lot of [nerve] to go ask for playing time if I was playing the way they're playing."
While Guillen did not say that Dobbs is his new first baseman going forward, he did suggest that he will play whoever is having success.
"I think Dobbs is swinging the bat better, and with the way we played yesterday, everyone should be back in the lineup," Guillen said. "That's the reason we did it. If we win today, we'll see the same lineup [tomorrow]. If we continue to win, then in the games we have left, that's going to be the same lineup. I'm going to put the guys in that I think have the best chance to win the game for us."
Solano gets reacquainted with Cardinals
MIAMI -- Donovan Solano will see a lot of familiar faces over the next three days.
Solano spent the past six years as a member of the Cardinals' organization before signing with the Marlins in the offseason. Now he will face off against many of the closest friends he has made as a professional baseball player.
"It's always good to see those guys," Solano said. "I have a lot of good friends over there that I have known for years."
During batting practice, Solano received several hugs and handshakes from Cardinals players and coaches. Yadier Molina and Jon Jay were just two of the many who were excited to see him.
"A lot of them congratulated me on getting to the big leagues," Solano said. "They said they're happy to see me find success, because they know how hard I always worked when I was there. Sometimes you need to go to another team to make it to the Majors, and they are happy that I finally made it. They told me to keep working hard, because only good can come of it."
Solano, who is batting .364 over 33 at-bats this year, was happy to see his former teammates, but he knows that they become "the enemy" once they take the field.
"Seeing them gives me a little more motivation to go play," Solano said. "We can be friendly before and after, but once the game starts, they become the opponent and I will have the mentality that I need to do whatever I can to help the Marlins beat them."

Long ago, during the great Dragon Wars, the mighty Dragonlord Kalladra devised the most cunning and insidious trap ever constructed. His desire to dominate Terrinoth became an obsession, but every attempt he made to conquer the realms was met with heroic resistance. So he withdrew himself underground and concocted a labyrinth of torturous design.
Rather than engage the nations of Terrinoth in open warfare as his brethren did, Kalladra believed there was no greater danger to the rulers and heroes of the land than their own greed. And so he built Dragonfire Dungeon...
DungeonQuest is a classic dungeon crawl board game playable by one to four players. Each player must enter Dragonfire Dungeon in hopes of escaping with more loot than any other player. Kalladra's rest is uneasy, however, and it is more than likely that nothing will escape Dragonfire Dungeon but a few faint screams and wisps of smoke. When the sun sets, the doom of every player caught within the walls of the dungeon is certain. During the day though, a few intrepid adventurers may be able to escape with their lives and a fistful of treasure. Each player must push his luck as far as he dares, but those who go one step too far will certainly face immediate incineration!
When the game begins, each player is in a separate room at one corner of Dragonfire Dungeon. The players are equipped with their natural talents and equipment and the powerful aid of a Rune, which can be used to magically rescue them in a tight spot. The expanse of the dungeon is uncharted, and the players must struggle to find their way in the labyrinthine passages as they search for loot that they can safely liberate from the dungeon. On each player's turn, he may choose to either move into an adjacent chamber of the dungeon by drawing a new tile and placing it on the board, or to scour the corners of his own chamber and draw a card in hopes of finding something of value in the outside world.
While many similar games rely on a player to control the machinations of the dungeon, DungeonQuest is unique in that the dungeon essentially runs itself. No one at the table knows what lies around the corner, creating a new play experience every time. A series of decks allows for the uncertainties of the dungeon, as players experience new and potent threats whenever they open doors, clamber through catacombs, and excavate the ancient crypts. Players must roll to test their character's attributes against a variety of challenges: in a dungeon there's always portcullises to lift, and bottomless pits to jump.
Each round, the sun counter moves further in the sky, and the players' search for treasure must move faster if they hope to leave Dragonfire Dungeon relatively uncharred. As they search, they may pick up some gold or small jewels, but the real loot—the rare artifacts and ancient plunder—lies in the center of the dungeon, in the chamber of Kalladra the Dragonlord himself. Even if a player manages to penetrate far enough into the dungeon to reach the Dragonlord's Treasure Chamber, every piece of loot he snags risks the dragon's fiery rage, resulting in an almost certain demise. But for many, the massive amounts of riches in the chamber are worth the risk.
Slay Monsters that Stand in your Way
The dragon at the heart of the maze is far from the only foe that faces the hero who enters Dragonfire Dungeon. Reanimated skeletons, slavering trolls, dark sorcerers, and older, more dangerous enemies wait for the explorer in abundance. In the warren of catacombs underneath, more sinister creatures, such as vampires or giant centipedes lie in wait for the next passing meat. Spear traps load into doors, and pit traps yawn open under the feet of anyone foolish enough to go by.
Combat in DungeonQuest is accomplished via an immersive series of Combat cards and Power cards. These cards allow for a thematic interpretation of a battle between a hero and an approaching monster. One player assumes the role of a monster for the purposes of the combat, and chooses the Combat and Power cards that will be used to battle the hero. Whereas the Combat cards show generic attacks, split into melee, ranged, and magic categories, the Power cards are unique to each hero and monster, adding to both replayability and the intense feel of direct conflict.
If a player is able to successfully orchestrate his hand, he may be able to counterattack with a Slash or a Fire Blast, or even line up a devastating deathblow. This kind of attack can be tricky to land, but almost always spells the end for the unfortunate recipient of the massive strike. Players must remain vigilant, and watch for the opportunity to kill any monsters that stand in the way of their hunt for treasure.
Take your Adventures in New Directions
Even as you take your heroes through Dragonfire Dungeon, you are also able to carry them over into other heroic exploits in Terrinoth. DungeonQuest includes parallel Hero cards that can be used with other games set in Terrinoth, including Runebound, Runewars, and Descent: Journeys in the Dark.
On the outside, the day might seem clear and bright, but inside Dragonfire Dungeon, there is little hope of a happy ending. Those who tread too far meet staggering odds of their own doom. The wise traveler might decide that discretion is nobler than blind courage, but if another adventurer can go a little bit further and return, they will almost certainly claim the win. Everyone in DungeonQuest must push their luck as far as they can. . . or at least a little farther than everyone else. Only the noblest of heroes are truly prepared to undertake the dragon's challenge!

A: Pours a clean transparent yellow and with almost no carbonation, even with my insistence to get some head, it disappeared right way. No lacing, no thickness, no head.
S: I can smell a noble beer. Pear and peach, mixed together with a beautiful german yeast.
T: A slightly hoppy with a bit of peach.
M: Way too low carbonation, it tends to heat during the mouth and even though you can feel some cool bitterness, your mouth won't get dry.
O: It's a noble beer. It's sad to have this beer like this because I've had it before with some awesome carbonation. Maybe the long troubled trip resented the beer on its quality.

Tourism leaders discuss how airport can help entice visitors
A group of tourism and economic development leaders met Thursday morning at the Scottsbluff airport to kick around ideas on ways the airport could help to attract tourism to the area.
Airport manager Darwin Skelton says many things were discussed but in general terms. Skelton said one idea was possibly contacting Great Lakes Aviation to see if they would be willing to offer some special fares that could be packaged to help attract tourism. Skelton says the group also talked about promoting hunting fishing and golf junkets to the area.
Skelton is hoping the group can get together again in a few weeks top decide what idea they will pursue.

There's a sharp rise in the number of Italian food outlets.
Not so many years ago, the Italian managing director of a multinational in Pune was seen teaching a fellow diner the joys of eating bread dipped in an emulsion of extra virgin olive oil and Balsamic vinegar. The setting was one of just a handful of restaurants in the city that served Italian cuisine.
Today, the Pune air is well nigh redolent with flavours from Italy. Restaurants exclusively serving Italian cuisine have sprung up across the city over the past few months, espousing a growing trend that says "Prego" — Italian for 'welcome'.
"It's raining Italy in Pune," agrees culinary expert Karen Anand, who feels that the Italian food in the city is more authentic, and often better, than what is available even in Mumbai. The current tally is over a dozen, mostly upmarket restaurants serving only Italian cuisine, the latest incumbents being Spaghetti Kitchen in Amanora City, Café Mangii at Phoenix Market City and the high-altitude (12th floor) Pesto Pesto in Koregaon Park, not to mention new outlets of home-grown chain Little Italy.
The rapid emergence of upmarket American hotel chains has also contributed to the Italian fervour. Pune was the first city in India to have a Favola — the signature restaurant of Starwood Hotels brand Le Meridien. Around the same time Prego got going at the Westin, Marriott opened doors to the Alto Vion, and Hyatt opened the La Terrazza.
Pune's romance with Italian food began about 22 years ago, with the coming together of the culinary skills of an Italian husband-wife duo — disciples of the late spiritual leader Osho, and the business acumen of a Gujarati entrepreneur. The result was the birth of La Pizzeria (now called Little Italy), on Bund Garden Road.
"In 1990, we were the first standalone Italian restaurant in the city, and probably in all of India," says Raj Mehta, Managing Director of the Little Italy chain. Though it was set up keeping in mind the strictly vegetarian Osho clientele, the large pool of Gujarati/ Marwari vegetarians with similar eating habits and high spending power took to pizzas and pasta like fish to water and kept the place buzzing.
"Those were cowboy days," quips Karen of the times when mozzarella was an alien name and lettuce wasn't even available! Since then, the Puneri palate has matured beyond pizzas and pasta, and high-end ingredients such as Parma ham and well-matured Parma cheese can be sourced locally.
If Italian cuisine has received an overwhelming reception, it is primarily on account of increased awareness thanks to the advent of chains like Pizza Hut and Dominoes, and a burgeoning population of expatriates and out-of-city types who are ready to try new things. Adding to this is the fact that Italian cuisine lends itself well to vegetarian preparations, and can do without ingredients like onion and garlic.
Of course, it may be a while before you could sit in one of the restaurants and call for a Bellini Cipriani, the classic Venetian cocktail of sparkling wine and peach puree, or round off a sumptuous meal with a glass of limoncello, the liqueur typically prepared from lemons abundant along the Amalfi coast… but the way things are going, we'll get there soon enough.

Huskers concludes practices in Lincoln
Lincoln - The Nebraska football team wrapped up its final practice in Lincoln on Thursday morning with a two-hour session indoors at the Hawks Championship Center. The Huskers will now have a few days off, before reuniting on Wednesday, Dec. 26 to head to Orlando, Fla., to continue preparations for the Capital One Bowl against Georgia on New Year's Day.
Head Coach Bo Pelini met with the media following the morning practice and discussed how important it is that the players have a chance to spend time with their families during the holiday season.
"I believe if the bowl schedule allows it, you should be with your family," Pelini said. "We recruit kids from a long way away and I tell parents that if the bowl schedule allows it, they will see their son around Christmas."
Pelini also talked about how well the Huskers are treated in Orlando.
"It's a first-class bowl game," Pelini said. "They treated us great, the bowl committee, everyone. It's a business trip, but we also get some time to see what Orlando has to offer, and there's a lot to do."

I will not be making these again. The dough was difficult to work with. It did not roll up nicely and definitely did not turn out like the picture. The flavor was okay. I feel like I wasted expensive ingredients.
Reviewed Nov. 14, 2009
These little appetizers pack some serious punch. They were delicious. I used ham because that is what I had.I also added some mozerella and used less parmesan. They were so good. My husband has already asked for them again.

Lyman couple files tort claims over fatal dog shooting
A Lyman couple has notified Scotts Bluff County and the city of Lyman they intend to file suit regarding the shooting of their rotweiler in late August of last year. The notice was made in separate tort claims filed with each entity.
Raul and Lupita Ayala say in their claim there was no justification for the shooting by Deputy Ray Huffman, who was working part-time as a Lyman Police officer. The Ayala's claim Huffman was not properly trained or equipped, that he improperly entered their property and caused the confrontation with "Bos" and that the shooting was "wrongful and negligent".
Lyman City Attorney Audrey Elliott has maintained Huffman shot the dog in self defense after it lunged at him several times, including once when it grabbed his arm and another time when he lunged at his face. Elliott says Huffman asked for assistance and tried to calm the animal down with pepper spray before the situation escalated. Ayala has admitted the dog was loose because he forgot to lock the kennel before leaving his house.
The Ayalas ask for $300,000 in damages in each claim due to a violation of their civil rights, an economic loss, loss of companionship from the killing of a beloved pet and for costs associated with veterinary fees and expenses incurred in conducting a necropsy.
Both political subdivisions have six months to work out a settlement or reject the claim, which would allow the Ayalas the choice to file suit. Lyman is expected to simply receive the claim at their meeting Wednesday evening and the county will likely do the same at their next meeting January 22nd.

This Sunday's Vacaville Gran Prix will be a Times-7 event - that's the chip-based timing system that NCNCA purchased and started rolling out earlier this year. Several officials are being trained on Saturday in the use of the system and they and Times-7 staff will be at Vacaville to make sure it all runs smoothly.
If you received your timing chip already earlier this year, we have your chip number on record. Bring it to the race and be sure your mounting bracket is in place on your fork. If you need help with setting it up, several people will be at registration (along with spare mounting brackets). Lost your chip? Please let us know - the first one was free and a replacement chip is $30.
Any Category 1,2,3,4 racers who didn't receive their chip yet will be issued one at the race.
Keep in mind that these are permanent chips, tied to your license number, and your first chip is paid for by NCNCA. The system is not currently used at Cat 5 events, but we expect promoters will be using the system a lot more next year as long as this training and Vacaville go as planned.
Please allow a little extra time to register, and email me if you have any questions: tborek at ncnca.org.
ps sorry for late notice, please get the word out!
