Arcola is the Arcola 1A Volleyall Regional host and the Arcola 1A Volleyball Sectional host. But they are done, after Windsor (#3) upset the #2 seeded Riders on Tuesday in the semifinal, 25-19, 26-24.
Windsor had lost to Arcola in the Windsor Invitational, 25-23, 25-21 and finished 4th in the tourney, while Arcola finished 2nd. The Blue Devils had a 14-point turnaround from experience.
Instead of being outscored by six in the close battle in Windsor, the Devils out-scored Arcola by eight in Arcola.
Windsor notched a convincing, 25-19, win in game 1 on Tuesday. Instead of having a let down in game 2, the Devils fended off a desperate Rider comeback, showing grit down the stretch and taking game 2 in OT, 26-24.
Windsor advances to the regional championship against top-seeded Arthur. The Devil relish the opportunity, as they were lost a very game challenge to the Knights in the final match of the regular season, being out-scored by just three points in a 3-game blow-by-blow marathon, 26-24, 23-25, 25-22.
Windsor played a whale of a match without Bennett. Hitters Paige Woolard and Katie Hostetter swung for a season-high 16 and 15 kills, respectively, in a valiant performance against the 23-2 Knights. Woolard added four blocks to record 20 net points in a match an area season-high. Setter Olivia Williamson also dished a season-high 24 assists in that match.
Arthur defeated Atwood-Hammond in the other regional semifinal, 25-23, 25-19.
Windsor plays Arthur (25-3) at 7 p.m. at Arcola.

Ore loading chute, Tomsich Butte Uranium Mine, Utah

Looking down the ore loading chute at Tomsich Butte Uranium mine.
"Tomsich Butte. This mining area was first developed by John Tomsich and W. J. Hannert in 1951, who discovered uranium ore and staked claims surrounding the butte. These are also known as the Dirty Devil uranium mines, and it was recorded that Hannert and Tomsich "each staked every other claim as their own" (Emery County Archives 2008:101). According to Owen McClenahan, "They were going it alone each claim – what a hell of a way to do. I felt that partners should trust one another down to the last crying dime." McClenahan also said that after John Tomsich's claims no longer produced ore he committed suicide, although Hannert continued to mine uranium in one of Tomsich's claims after the fact (Emery County Archives 2008:101). One popular legend states that Tomsich and his dog drank water from the poisoned Muddy Creek, which eventually killed his dog (Massey and Wilson 2006:472)."

Police effectiveness
Recently, I was scared half to death when I went to throw some trash in my apartment complex dumpster, and out popped a woman clearly on drugs with no shoes. She went immediately to another dumpster nearby.
I called the police to report this woman who was trespassing. I was asked for my phone number and told someone would be sent out. Twenty minutes later, and after watching three police cars drive past my street, I called back to see if the issue would be addressed.
The dispatcher said my complaint was still pending. When I asked about the police cars I had seen pass by, I was told they were busy. Later, I went to grab my morning coffee at Starbucks and two officers were sitting there, engaging in conversation while enjoying coffee and breakfast snacks. Too "busy" to be doing their job.
A few months ago when noticing a homeless encampment being illegally built on the side of a hill above downtown Ventura, it took three calls to the Police Department to have anything done.
I have sympathy for people who have hit rough times with the economy. I have zero tolerance for people ruining our community because of clear substance abuse issues.
I have friends who recently have been given tickets for little things like talking on the phone while driving. Is that what Ventura's biggest problem is? Or is it the overpopulation of homeless drug addicts that terrorize our parks and community, causing things like property value and desire to visit from tourists to suffer?
What is your plan Ventura police? I want to know in detail.

Waste and fraud in government programs should be rooted out vigilantly.
Legislation should fix a problem with a fitting solution, not punish the needy.
Those two objectives must guide an Indiana General Assembly committee studying a proposal to require food stamp recipients to show a photo ID when they go to the grocery store. The idea, pushed by Republican state legislators, will be reviewed this summer and fall by a committee of lawmakers and could wind up as a bill during the Legislature's 2014 session. In their offseason study, Hoosier legislators should focus on facts, not exaggeration.
The commonly used term "food stamps" refers to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, created to keep poor people from going hungry. Today, a SNAP recipient is issued an electronic benefits card, similar to a bank debit card, and slides it through the checkout machine at a store. U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines currently require stores to treat SNAP recipients no differently than anyone else.
One of the primary reasons SNAP cardholders are handled equally goes to the heart of the program's intent — feeding kids. Food-stamp benefits are assigned to families, not individuals. Requiring a photo ID could prevent children in a SNAP family from buying needed groceries. Also, the head of their household — as is the case with many low-income folks — may not possess a state-issued photo ID.
So, why would Indiana legislators try to impose a photo-ID requirement for food stamps after fellow Republicans in a dozen other states failed to enact similar measures? Reports of fraud incidents in a vast federal program understandably aggravate taxpayers. Those illegalities include SNAP cards being trafficked for cash, drugs and guns. The government has a responsibility to track down and prosecute those offenders.
But the vast majority of families receiving SNAP assistance are not scamming the system; the fraudulent use of food stamps is rare and decreasing, according to the USDA, from 4 percent in 1998 to 1 percent today. The ranks of the recipients have indeed grown, from 28 million Americans five years ago to 48 million now. The numbers are up in Indiana, too, from 100,000 recipients 15 years ago to 925,000 in 2013, or 14 percent of Hoosiers.

KentuckyFC writes: Superconductors allow current to flow with zero resistance when cooled below some critical temperature. They are the crucial ingredients in everything from high-power magnets and MRI machines to highly sensitive magnetometers and magnetic levitation devices. But one big problem is that superconductors work only at very low temperatures — the highest is around 150 kelvin (-120 degrees centigrade). So scientists would dearly love to find ways of raising this critical temperature. Now a group of physicists say they've found a promising approach: to build metamaterial superconductors that steer electrons in the same way as other metamaterials steer light to create invisibility cloaks. The inspiration for the work comes from the observation that some high temperature superconductors consist of repeated layers of conducting and dielectric structures. So the team mixed tin — a superconductor at 3.7 kelvin — with the dielectric barium titanate and found that it raised the critical temperature by 0.15 kelvin. That's the first demonstration that superconductors can be thought of as metamaterials. With this proof of principle under their belts, the next step is to look for bigger gains at higher temperatures.
sciencehabit writes: An experimental treatment against an Ebola-related virus can protect monkeys even when given up to 3 days after infection, the point at which they show the first signs of disease. The virus, known as Marburg, causes severe hemorrhagic fever—vomiting, diarrhea, and internal bleeding. In one outbreak, it killed 90% of people it infected. There are no proven treatments or vaccines against it. The new results raise hopes that the treatment might be useful for human patients even if they don't receive it until well after infection. The company that makes the compound, Tekmira, based in Burnaby, Canada, has started a human safety trial of a related drug to treat Ebola virus disease, and researchers hope that it, too, might offer protection even after a patient has started to feel ill. In other Ebola news, the two American aid workers who were infected with the virus while in Liberia have now recovered and been released from the hospital.
StartsWithABang writes It's the holy grail of modern particle physics: discovering the first smoking-gun, direct evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. Sure, there are unanswered questions and unsolved puzzles, ranging from dark matter to the hierarchy problem to the strong-CP problem, but there's no experimental result clubbing us over the head that can't be explained with standard particle physics. That is, the physics of the Standard Model in the framework of quantum field theory. Or is there? Take a look at the evidence from the muon's magnetic moment, and see what might be the future of physics.
aarondubrow writes The National Science Foundation today announced two $10 million projects to create cloud computing testbeds — to be called "Chameleon" and "CloudLab" — that will enable the academic research community to experiment with novel cloud architectures and pursue new, architecturally-enabled applications of cloud computing. While most of the original concepts for cloud computing came from the academic research community, as clouds grew in popularity, industry drove much of the design of their architecture. Today's awards complement industry's efforts and enable academic researchers to advance cloud computing architectures that can support a new generation of innovative applications, including real-time and safety-critical applications like those used in medical devices, power grids, and transportation systems.
sciencehabit writes China's Ministry of Agriculture has decided not to renew biosafety certificates that allowed research groups to grow genetically modified (GM) rice and corn. The permits, to grow two varieties of GM rice and one transgenic corn strain, expired on 17 August. The reasoning behind the move is not clear, and it has raised questions about the future of related research in China.
mdsolar writes that a study suggests that tuberculosis first appeared in the New World less than 6,000 years ago and it was brought here by seals. After a remarkable analysis of bacterial DNA from 1,000-year-old mummies, scientists have proposed a new hypothesis for how tuberculosis arose and spread around the world. The disease originated less than 6,000 years ago in Africa, they say, and took a surprising route to reach the New World: it was carried across the Atlantic by seals. The new study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, has already provoked strong reactions from other scientists. "This is a landmark paper that challenges our previous ideas about the origins of tuberculosis," said Terry Brown, a professor of biomolecular archaeology at the University of Manchester. "At the moment, I'm still in the astonished stage over this."
An anonymous reader writes eBooks are great and wonderful, but as The Guardian reports, they might not be as good for readers as paper books. Results from a new study show that test subjects who read a story on a Kindle had trouble recalling the proper order of the plot events. Out of 50 test subjects, half read a 28-page story on the Kindle, while half read the same story on paper. The Kindle group scored about the same on comprehension as the control group, but when they were asked to put the plot points in the proper order, the Kindle group was about twice as likely to get it wrong.
So, is this bad news for ebooks? Have we reached the limits of their usefulness? Not necessarily. While there is evidence that enhanced ebooks don't enhance education, an older study from 2012 showed that students who study with an e-textbook on an ebook reader actually scored as well or higher on tests than a control group who did not. While that doesn't prove the newer research wrong, it does suggest that further study is required. What has your experience been with both recall and enjoyment when reading ebooks?
bmahersciwriter (2955569) writes Scientific reports have increasingly linked the bacteria in your gut to health and maladies, often making wild-sounding claims. Did you hear about the mice who were given fecal transplants from skinny humans and totally got skinny! Well, some of the more gut-busting results might not be as solid as they seem. Epidemiologist Bill Hanage offers five critical questions to ask when confronted by the latest microbiome research.
An anonymous reader writes: The folks in charge of the Mars rover Curiosity have been trying to solve an increasingly urgent problem: what to do about unexpected wheel damage. The team knew from the start that wear and tear on the wheels would slowly accumulate, but they've been surprised at how quickly the wheels have degraded over the past year. Emily Lakdawalla at the Planetary Society blog has posted a detailed report on the team's conclusions as to what's causing the damage and how they can mitigate it going forward. Quoting: "The tears result from fatigue. You know how if you bend a metal paper clip back and forth repeatedly, it eventually snaps? Well, when the wheels are driving over a very hard rock surface — one with no sand — the thin skin of the wheels repeatedly bends. The wheels were designed to bend quite a lot, and return to their original shape. But the repeated bending and straightening is fatiguing the skin, causing it to fracture in a brittle way. The bending doesn't happen (or doesn't happen as much) if the ground gives way under the rover's weight, as it does if it's got the slightest coating of sand on top of rock. It only happens when the ground is utterly impervious to the rover's weight — hard bedrock. The stresses from metal fatigue are highest near the tips of the chevron features, and indeed a lot of tears seem to initiate close to the chevron features."
Lasrick writes: Yale's Jason Parisi makes a compelling case for fusion power, and explains why fusion is cleaner, safer, and doesn't provide opportunities for nuclear smuggling and proliferation. The only downside will be the transition period, when there are both fission and fusion plants available and the small amount of "booster" elements (tritium and deuterium) found in fusion power could provide would-be proliferators what they need to boost the yield of fission bombs: "The period during which both fission and fusion plants coexist could be dangerous, however. Just a few grams of deuterium and tritium are needed to increase the yield of a fission bomb, in a process known as 'boosting.'" Details about current research into fusion power and an exploration of relative costs make fusion power seem like the answer to a civilization trying to get away from fossil fuels.
schwit1 sends this report from the ITAR-TASS News Agency: An experiment of taking samples from illuminators and the ISS surface has brought unique results, as scientists had found traces of sea plankton there, the chief of an orbital mission on Russia's ISS segment told reporters. Results of the scope of scientific experiments which had been conducted for a quite long time were summed up in the previous year, confirming that some organisms can live on the surface of the International Space Station for years amid factors of a space flight, such as zero gravity, temperature conditions and hard cosmic radiation. Several surveys proved that these organisms can even develop. He noted that it was not quite clear how these microscopic particles could have appeared on the surface of the space station.
In June, we discussed news that JPL and MakerBot were teaming up to host a competition for designing a futuristic Mars base. The competition is now over, and the top three designs have been chosen. First place went to Noah Hornberger, who designed a base with hexagonal rooms and shielding made of depleted uranium. Second place went to a martian pyramid with an aquaponics system on top, mirror-based solar collectors, central water storage, and compartmentalized living spaces. The third place award went to Chris Starr for his Mars Acropolis, which was styled upon the ancient Greek Acropolis. It has a water tower at the top of the structure, a series of greenhouses at the bottom, and living quarters in between. The full list of 227 entries is browse-able on Thingiverse.
itwbennett (1594911) writes In a follow-up to yesterday's story about the Chinese hackers who stole hospital data of 4.5 million patients, IDG News Service's Martyn Williams set out to learn why the data, which didn't include credit card information, was so valuable. The answer is depressingly simple: people without health insurance can potentially get treatment by using medical data of one of the hacking victims. John Halamka, chief information officer of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and chairman of the New England Healthcare Exchange Network, said a medical record can be worth between $50 and $250 to the right customer — many times more than the amount typically paid for a credit card number, or the cents paid for a user name and password. "If I am one of the 50 million Americans who are uninsured ... and I need a million-dollar heart transplant, for $250 I can get a complete medical record including insurance company details," he said.
Jason Koebler writes The Royal Society of London, the world's oldest scientific publisher, has unveiled a proposal to create the first serious framework for future geoengineering experiments. It's a sign that what are still considered drastic and risky measures to combat climate change are drifting further into the purview of mainstream science. The scientific body has issued a call to create "an open and transparent review process that ensures such experiments have the necessary social license to operate."
An anonymous reader writes The BBC and other outlets are reporting that a major quarantine center for patients who have been infected with the Ebola virus in Liberia has been looted and ransacked. Reports vary on the motive of the attack, but officials have confirmed that the Ebola patients are missing and that the quarantine center's medical supplies have been stolen. Officials say that the looters are highly likely to contract the virus themselves and worsen the epidemic further, as the WHO counts 1000+ lives claimed by the virus total."
An anonymous reader writes NPR commentator Bonny Wolf has a unique solution to battle the threat of invasive fish species in our waterways. She proposes we fight them with a knife, fork, and a few lemon wedges. From the article: "Take the northern snakehead, which has made its way into tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. It competes with native species for food, and then eats the native species, not to mention the odd frog or bird, with its mouthful of sharp teeth. It's been called "Fishzilla." It breeds fast, has no natural predators and can grow to be 4 feet long. The northern snakehead hangs out in grassy shallows, making it hard to catch. But a couple of years ago, Maryland started promoting the snakehead as an eating fish. Its harvest has increased from zero to 5,000 pounds a year."
An anonymous reader writes "Phil Plait wants you to know that asteroid 1950 DA is very, very unlikely to hit the Earth in 2880, despite what you may have read. He writes: "As it happens, 1950 DA is what's called a 'near-Earth asteroid', because its orbit sometimes brings it relatively close to Earth. I'll note that I mean close on a cosmic scale. Looking over the next few decades, a typical pass is tens of millions of kilometers away, with some as close as five million kilometers — which is still more than ten times farther away than the Moon! Still, that's in our neighborhood, which is one of the reasons this asteroid is studied so well. It gets close enough that we can get a decent look at it when it passes. Can it impact the Earth? Yes, kindof. Right now, the orbit of the asteroid doesn't bring it close enough to hit us. But there are forces acting on asteroids over time that subtly change their orbits; one of them is called the YORP effect, a weak force that arises due to the way the asteroid spins and radiates away heat. The infrared photons it emits when it's warm carry away a teeny tiny bit of momentum, and they act pretty much like an incredibly low-thrust rocket. Over many years, this can change both the rotation of the asteroid as well as the shape of its orbit."
teleyinex writes The Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) is leading a project called Cities at Night to catalog the images taken by astronauts from the ISS. The project uses the platform Crowdcrafting powered by the open source software PyBossa to catalog images in cities, stars or other objects, as well as geo-reference them."
An anonymous reader writes in with news about a breakthrough in recording quantum behavior in electrons. A group of researchers has said that they have come up with a new method to record and control electron behavior at the quantum mechanical level. The research team, headed by the scientists at the University of Chicago, used laser lights in ultra-fast pulses for the experiment. The laser light controlled the quantum state of electrons. It contained inside nanoscale defects in a diamond. The researchers observed changes in that electron over a time period. They focused on the quantum mechanical property of electrons known as spin. Lead author David Awschalom, a molecular engineering professor at a university in Chicago, said, "These defects have attracted great interest of the scientists over the past decade. They provide a test-bed system for developing semiconductor quantum bits as well as nanoscale sensors."
An anonymous reader writes A Virginia Tech scientist has discovered a potentially new form of plant communication, that allows them to share genetic information with one another. Jim Westwood, a professor of plant pathology, physiology, and weed science, found evidence of this new communication mode by investigating the relationship between dodder, a parasitic plant, and the flowering plant Arabidopsis and tomato plants to which it attaches and sucks out nutrients with an appendage called a haustorium. Westwood examined the plants' mRNA, the molecule in cells that instructs organisms how to code certain proteins that are key to functioning. MRNA helps to regulate plant development and can control when plants eventually flowers. He found that the parasitic and the host plants were exchanging thousands of mRNA molecules between each other, thus creating a conversation.

Improving your running form can help you run faster, more efficiently, and with less stress on your body and reduced risk of injury. Follow these tips to work on perfecting your running form.
Look Ahead
More: Tips for Running Safely
Land Midfoot
Don't be a toe runner or a heel-striker. If you land on your toes, your calves will get tight or fatigue quickly and you may develop shin pain. Landing on your heels means you have overstrided and you're braking, which wastes energy and may cause injury. Try to land on the middle of your foot, and then roll through to the front of your toes.
More: Which Part of my Foot Should I Land On?
Keep your feet pointed straight ahead.Make sure your toes are pointed in the direction you want to go. Running with your feet pointed in or out could lead to running injuries.
Keep hands at your waist.Try to keep your hands at waist level, right about where they might lightly brush your hip. Your arms should be at a 90 degree angle. Some beginners have a tendency to hold their hands way up by their chest, especially as they get tired. You may actually get even more tired by holding your arms that way and you'll start to feel tightness and tension in your shoulders and neck.
Relax your hands.As you run, keep your arms and hands as relaxed as possible. You can gently cup your hands, as if you are holding an egg and you don't want to break it. Don't clench your fists because it can lead to tightness in the arms, shoulders, and neck.
More: How to Avoid Tension While Running
Check your posture.
Keep your posture straight and erect. Your head should be up, your back straight, and shoulders level. Keep your shoulders under your ears and maintain a neutral pelvis. Make sure you're not leaning forward or back at your waist, which some runners do as they get fatigued. Check your posture once in a while. When you're tired at the end of your run, it's common to slump over a little, which can lead to neck, shoulder, and lower-back pain. When you feel yourself slouching, poke your chest out.
Relax your shoulders, too.Your shoulders should be relaxed and square or facing forward, not hunched over. Rounding the shoulders too far forward tends to tighten the chest and restrict breathing.
Rotate arms from the shoulder.Your arms should swing back and forth from your shoulder joint, not your elbow joint. Think of your arm as a pendulum, swinging back and forth at your shoulder.
Don't bounce.
Try to keep your stride low to the ground and focus on quick stride turnover. Too much up-and-down movement is wasted energy and can be hard on your lower body. Take short, light steps, as if you're stepping on hot coals. The higher you lift yourself off the ground, the greater the shock you have to absorb when landing and the faster your legs will fatigue.
Keep your arms at your side.
Avoid side-to-side arm swinging. If your arms cross over your chest, you're more likely to slouch, which means you're not breathing efficiently. Imagine a vertical line splitting your body in half -- your hands should not cross it.

Long Term Support
Scientific Linux plans to do security updates as long as the The Upstream Vendor (TUV) continues releasing updates and patches. The support end dates are based on our current understanding of TUV's support schedule.
For a detailed list of what is supported and for how long please see our Distributions Webpage
There is a caveat to the above statement. This is just a plan. We do not, and cannot, guarantee our plan. There are too many factors for us to guarantee it. One of the possibilities is that the source rpm's from the Enterprise release will become unavailable. There are other factors that also may prevent a guarantee.
Major Releases
Scientific Linux has plans to make a major release based on each major release of Enterprise Linux. How soon after, we cannot say.
Minor Releases
Scientific Linux plans to make a minor release based on each of the Enterprise Updates.
The minor releases will be named according to their corresponding update release. Hence, Scientific Linux 5.1 corresponded with Update 1, 5.2 will correspond with Update 2.

When the mercury begins to rise, so do the numbers of drownings in the state. Wednesday night, a 17-month-old boy died after being found face down in a pool.
Rescuers say the little boy was in the water for upwards of 15 minutes. He got out and into the pool through a doggie door. Officials are now spreading about doggie doors.
We spoke to a safety expert today who says toddlers will think of a path to a pool that an adult may never think of -- that includes a doggie doors.
In the past two months there has been two drownings where kids crawled through a doggie door, ending up in a pool.
The first happened last month in Mesa. You can see from video from SkyFox just how close the doggie door was to the pool.
The most recent was Wednesday night in Glendale when a 17-month-old crawled through the doggie door, ending up face down in a relative's pool for more than 15 minutes.
"These unfortunate events seem to happen all too much throughout the year," says Forrest Smith, Mesa Fire Captain.
"Throughout the year, Arizona experiences being number two in the country for drownings."
He says these recent incidents are a tragic wake-up call to parents that kids can get into trouble in a matter of seconds.
"The average size dog door is that for a 40 pound dog, which is essentially the size of [an 8 1/2 by 11] paper."
Supervision is the best prevention, but Capt. Smith says barriers could save a life.
"If you have a dog door you want to take due caution in making sure you have that door shut and have those barriers."
If you have a doggie door, keep it locked when it's not in use, and keep a barrier around your pool.

By George Bremer
The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Darrius Heyward-Bey said he's trusted his heart in tough spots before.
So when it was time to make the biggest decision of his NFL career thus far, the former Oakland Raiders wide receiver decided to go with his heart again.
It led the 26-year-old free agent away from the Detroit Lions and into the arms of the Indianapolis Colts, who are coming off an 11-5 season and an AFC Wild Card playoff appearance.
In four seasons with the Raiders, Heyward-Bey never finished better than 8-8.
"At the end, I just had to follow my heart," he said during a conference call with local media Tuesday, "and I just felt comfortable there."
Part of that comfort level was induced by the presence of second-year quarterback Andrew Luck. The former Stanford star started all 16 games for the Colts and threw for 4,374 yards and 23 touchdowns last season, finishing as runner-up for NFL Rookie of the Year honors to Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Luck's consistency under center is appealing to Heyward-Bey who played for three head coaches, four offensive coordinators and seven quarterbacks in Oakland.
"It's a confidence thing," Heyward-Bey said. "You know that this guy is going to be your quarterback. There's no question about that. In Oakland, there were times when we weren't sure going into a week and we had to adjust on the fly. Knowing that Andrew is going to be back there feels good."
Heyward-Bey was the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft coming out of Maryland. He went that high in part because late Raiders owner Al Davis was enamored with the 4.3-second 40-yard dash the receiver ran at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Despite combining his speed with a 6-foot-2 frame, Heyward-Bey never really lived up to expectations in Oakland. He caught 64 passes for 975 yards and four touchdowns in 2011 but had just 140 receptions for 2,071 yards and 11 scores overall.
Heyward-Bey said he picks out one area of his game to improve each offseason and strives to become a complete wide receiver.
"Last year it was run after catch, and actually some of my touchdowns were run after catch," he said. "So this year I just want to concentrate more on high playing the ball up in the air and getting it into the end zone without running on a run after catch. I'll still continue to work on that, but high playing the ball is something that I definitely want to improve on."
There have been some questions about what kind of fit the speedy vertical threat will be for new Indianapolis offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's West Coast-based scheme. No less an authority than former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana — who won four Super Bowls and played under the offense's originator, Bill Walsh — weighed in on his verified Twitter account.
"Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey is going to be a big weapon for Luck and the Colts," Montana wrote.
Heyward-Bey agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million with a $1.5 million guarantee. He could have chosen instead to join the Lions' high-powered offense with quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Calvin Johnson and offseason addition running back Reggie Bush.
But he said he wants to be part of something special in Indianapolis.
"Well, if you look at the roster, you have Andrew Luck, in my opinion the best young quarterback out there," Heyward-Bey said. "You've got a veteran in Reggie Wayne. You have a former teammate of mine in Samson (Satele) at the center. They had some young guys make some plays out there so just being a part of something like that, I think it can be great."

Bucs early free agency moves a mixed bag
The signing of safety Dashon Goldson has been the highlight for the Bucacnneers during the first week of free agency.
(Daniel Wallace/Associated Press)
Andrew Astleford
March 19, 2013, 2:28pm
TAMPA, Fla.
One week has passed, and gifts have been granted. If free agency is like the NFLs Christmas, then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should have mixed feelings about what left and landed in their facility.
The good
: The Bucs inked a marquee secondary signing. Dashon Goldson is a proven pro who offers a needed boost at safety. Hes agile at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, and at 28 years old, he has the chance to be an asset at One Buccaneer Place for years.
The bad:
The Bucs let a proven pass rusher go elsewhere. Defensive end Michael Bennett became miffed by what he viewed as Tampa Bay not giving him his proper due. Rather than allowing the Bucs to match an offer from the Seattle Seahawks, Bennett took his services to what has become one of the NFLs most competitive divisions.
There remain holes to be filled, contracts to be signed and futures to be learned, though. One week down. Let the giving continue.
Dashon Goldson
(safety, unrestricted) The two-time Pro Bowl player signed a five-year deal worth $41.25 million. He spent his first six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, earning 443 tackles, three sacks and 14 interceptions.
LeGarrette Blount
(running back, restricted) The former-starter-turned-backup signed a one-year deal worth $1.75 million. He has played three NFL seasons, all with the Bucs, but he rushed for a career-low 151 yards with two touchdowns on 41 carries behind rookie Doug Martin last season.
Tom Crabtree
(tight end, unrestricted) The three-year pro signed a two-year deal worth $1.6 million. His previous time in the NFL was spent with the Green Bay Packers, with whom he had 18 catches for 302 yards and four touchdowns.
Kevin Ogletree
(wide receiver, unrestricted) The four-year pro signed a two-year deal worth $2.6 million. In his time with the Dallas Cowboys, he had 57 catches for 730 yards and four touchdowns.
Daniel Teo-Nesheim
(defensive end, restricted) The three-year pro was given the lowest restricted free-agent tender, worth $1.323 million. The former Philadelphia Eagles player appeared in a career-high 16 games last season, with 14 starts, and earned 39 tackles and four sacks.
Jonathan Casillas
(linebacker, unrestricted) The four-year pro signed a one-year deal worth $1.4 million. In his previous time in the NFL, all with the New Orleans Saints, he earned 85 tackles and three sacks in 38 games.
Michael Bennett
(defensive end, unrestricted) The four-year pro signed a one-year deal worth $5 million with the Seahawks. He had 98 tackles and 15 sacks including a career-high nine last year after joining the Bucs during the 2009 season.
Jeremy Trueblood
(offensive tackle, unrestricted) The seven-year pro reached an undisclosed agreement with the Washington Redskins. The move unites him with former Bucs general manager Bruce Allen, who drafted him in the second round 59th overall in 2006.
Roy Miller
(defensive tackle, unrestricted) The four-year pro signed a two-year deal worth $4.5 million with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had 140 tackles with three sacks in 62 games after the Bucs selected him in the third round 81st overall in 2009.
Best Move
There are many things to like about Goldson, a two-time Pro Bowl player. He brings a hard, physical style from San Francisco that should add edge to a secondary that lacked the trait a season ago. Fitting with his nickname, The Hawk, he has shown an eye for the ball, earning 14 interceptions in his career, including a combined nine over the past two years.
The Bucs needed to make a headline signing in the secondary. They accomplished that with Goldson, who was given the full-court-press treatment with a private jet flown to California to carry him to Tampa before agreeing to terms. It will be interesting to see him work alongside young safety Mark Barron, who had 88 tackles and one interception as a rookie. The pair has the potential to create a hard-knocks duo deep down the field. With time, the attitude could translate to the rest of the defense.
Worst Move
Why let Bennett leave so easily? He entered free agency as one of the Bucs top defensive talents, and Seattle was eager to scoop him up in a one-year deal that adds to an NFC West arms race between the Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. Hes a player on the rise: His tackle and sack totals have increased each year, and he proved formidable last season in leading the Bucs with nine sacks. (No other player had more than defensive tackle Gerald McCoys five. Overall, Tampa Bay had 27. )
Before free agency, Bennett had said he would give the Bucs a chance to match any offer he received from a potential suitor. But that turned out not to be the case, after Bennett felt slighted by what he perceived to be Tampa Bays lack of interest. The Bucs will still be strong up front they led the league in rush defense last season by allowing an average of 82.5 yards per game but losing Bennett weakens the unit.
Has the biggest weakness been addressed?
Not completely. Goldson is a strong signing, but the cornerback situation remains unaddressed. Certainly, trading for Darrelle Revis would appease the Twitterverse, but the Bucs must ask themselves serious questions before committing to what would be a costly agreement: Is the four-time Pro Bowl players left ACL going to hold? How much more elite production can he give? Is he worth the unknowns as this point?
All are valid questions, but this fact stands: The Bucs are running out of options at their weakest area. The market for free-agent cornerbacks has dwindled, and E.J. Biggers and Brandon McDonald remain unsigned. The draft is an option. But if Revis doesnt fit into the picture, the Bucs may as well re-sign Biggers who played well in Aqib Talibs absence last season and search for other ways to bolster depth. As their situation stands, the Bucs have a long way to go to make significant gains to patch a pass defense that allowed a league-worst 297.4 yards per game last season.
Whats still out there?
Goldsons addition suggests that Barbers time at Tampa Bay may be coming to an end. The Bucs could use Barbers veteran leadership again, but it wont be a big surprise if he chooses not to return. On the other side of the ball, the future of 10-year veteran tight end Dallas Clark is up in the air as well. Both players would be welcomed back, but theres the chance the Bucs may have to look elsewhere.
Call it a mixed bag. Gaining Goldson was a plus, but its curious the Bucs didnt make a bigger move to keep Bennett. The secondary needs an answer at cornerback, thought the current free-agent market is lacking at this point. It will take some creativity either to devise a responsible trade for Revis or find a solution elsewhere.

Worst Move
Why let Bennett leave so easily?
Disagree. I think he proved his worth, with that small one year contract he got from the SeaChickens.
I prefer to wait until free agency is over before grading it. A lot can happen between now and training camp.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): How to Help
After a disaster, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance receives numerous calls from congregations and individuals expressing concern and a desire to help. Following are some of the most frequently asked questions. The responses are general in nature, but are applicable for most disaster situations. Please give us a call or e-mail us to obtain answers to specific questions.
- How can we respond financially?
- Is PDA tax exempt?
- How can our congregation as a group or individuals volunteer to help in the disaster response?
- Can our congregation collect clothes, food, or supplies to send to the disaster area?
- Are any Presbyterian mission personnel affected?
- How can our congregation make Gift of the Heart kits or other kits to be used in the disaster relief efforts?
How can we respond financially?
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance will always offer a way for congregations and individuals to designate funds to assist with disaster relief efforts.
Financial gifts can be made through your local Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregation or by mailing your check made to made payable to Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to:
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
P.O. Box 643700
Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700
Information on the designated account numbers can be obtained by calling PresbyTel at (800) 872-3283 or by calling the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance office (800) 728-7228 x 5839. Gifts by cardit card can also be made through these methods.
Is PDA tax exempt?
Yes, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), A Corporation, is a federally recognized, tax exempt organization pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its tax ID number is 13-3462549. Receipts will be issued for charitable contributions made to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), A Corporation, for disaster-related or other mission work.
How can our congregation as a group or individuals volunteer to help in the disaster response?
Communities which have been affected by disaster are very adept at helping each other. While most areas which have been affected by a disaster will need help from volunteers, the need for help will usually be after an assessment of need has been made, and a way to house volunteers has been established.
Please check our listing of volunteer opportunities or call (866) 732-6121 for a list of currently active work sites.
Can our congregation collect clothes, food, or supplies to send to the disaster area?
In most disaster situations, when material goods are requested, clothes are at the bottom of the list. There are several reasons for this:
- Limited warehouse space. In disaster situations, especially after a natural disaster such as a hurricane or flood, buildings which can be used for collecting and distributing relief items are usually being used to their capacity.
- Transportation cost and limited transportation space. There are standardized recommendations for the purchase of relief supplies in bulk and the bundling of supplies in units to allow the maximum amount to be loaded onto ships, planes, or trucks. It is difficult to include clothes because of the variance in quantity and weight, and also the difficulty of getting the appropriate clothes to those in need.
- Specific request of partners. Partner congregations or organizations know best the needs of the disaster affected community. In their disaster response plan, they draw up a list of very specific items which can be used immediately. The inclusion of other items requires valuable time in sorting through and determining the appropriateness of the items.
Review the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Material Aid Policy.
If you have already collected items and cannot find a local mission project which can benefit from them, you might want to consider holding a flea market or other type of sale and sending the proceeds to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance using the designated account number for the specific disaster.
Are any Presbyterian mission personnel affected?
Whenever there has been a disaster in an area where Presbyterian mission personnel are stationed, staff from World Mission will be in touch with the mission personnel to determined their status. If any mission personnel have experienced undue suffering, information will be posted immediately.
During a disaster, use visit the Mission Connections website to see if we mission personnel in the affected country. This will enable you to pray by name, for our partners and mission personnel as they minister to others.
How can our congregation make Gift of the Heart kits or other kits to be used in the disaster relief efforts?
Gift of the Heart kits are an excellent "hands on" project for youth groups and other groups that want a tangible way to be involved. The most frequently needed kits in a disaster are the Health kit, Layette kit and School kit.

Joell Ortiz Radio
Brooklyn-born rapper Joell Ortiz, who has long been among the most critically acclaimed unsigned talent on the East Coast hip-hop scene, has gone a long way to earning that reputation. A dedicated and accomplished student through his early years, and always a person to whom language came easily, Ortiz was an impressive rapper by his early teens. As Ortiz reached high school, family strife and his urban environment turned his attentions from his studies and rap career to street life and the drug trade. After a short time, however, Ortiz turned his attentions back to the life-giving pursuit of excellence in his music. Thanks to his natural talent and serious work ethics, opportunity soon found Ortiz, and he began to gain some recognition. An appearance in The Source magazine and winning Chairman's Choice from XXL magazine earned Ortiz credibility and buzz that resulted in his appearance on the NBA Live 2005 soundtrack. Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label offered Ortiz a contract that year, a deal which quickly went sour, creating bad blood between Ortiz and one of the industry's most powerful players. Since that time, Ortiz continued to record and write actively, collaborating with artists like KRS-One and Kool G Rap. ~ Evan C. GutierrezPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

District 3 Alderman John Hall and members of Savannah city council joined city cemeteries staff for a dedication and ribbon cutting ceremony on a newly developed two-acre section of Greenwich Cemetery.
Greenwich Cemetery is the newest of the city's municipal cemeteries and is situated on the site of the historic Greenwich Plantation. The 65-acre cemetery was established in 1933 as the Greenwich Addition to Bonaventure.
"You know Savannah
offers a variety of things for the living, so it is fitting that we provide our
citizens with a decent resting place," said Hall.
From Bonaventure Road, follow Greenwich Road past Bonaventure Cemetery thru Forest Lawn Cemetery, and then look for signs to direct you.
Tuesday's ceremony was at 1:30 p.m.

Boston University is launching the public phase of its first full-fledged fund-raising campaign, a billion-dollar effort, with an 82-event alumni extravaganza Saturday, culminating in a Boston Pops concert at Agganis Arena.
In many respects, the public push is well timed. It follows seven years of financial and academic improvements at the school and two years of a "quiet phase" of fund-raising that has already raked in $420 million. On Friday night the school announced a major new donation: $10 million from Dubai-based entrepreneur Rajen Kilachand, on top of the $25 million he has already given, the largest donation in BU's history.

Given the personnel, which also include stars Norbert Leo Butz, Kate Baldwin and Bobby Steggert, there was a fair amount of anticipation for this production, particularly since it is one of the only new musicals with actual new music to hit Broadway this fall.
Sadly, Big Fish didn't make a big splash. Reviews were lukewarm nearly across the board, most noting that the show — all about the grandly embroidered fantasies of the past told by the dying hero, Edward Bloom — lacked a certain magic.
"For a show that celebrates tall tales, Big Fish feels curiously stunted," stated the Times. Said Newsday, "it's crushing to realize, early on, that this gentle, sincere, beautiful-looking show is deadly dull. Author John August, who also wrote the screenplay, strings sentimentality and hackneyed picaresque escapades together as if they were equivalent balls on a string."
More than anything else, the score was faulted, and Lippa came in for a critical drubbing. "I couldn't get past fundamental problems with the source material," wrote The Hollywood Reporter. "While the lyrics are more literal than imaginative, not to mention doused in Hallmark syrup, Lippa's score is better than his last show, The Addams Family."
Butz, who these days headlines more new musicals than any other actor, and never fails to impress the critics, again won admiring reviews. "Butz proves he's simply in a league of his own," wrote the AP, "able to switch from middle-aged to teenager in a snap, offering a complex portrait of a Southern man while avoiding good 'ol boy cliches, and he even spends some of the night lying in a hospital bed, not the most expected way to lead a musical."
The other Broadway opening of the week was the "concert" musical A Night With Janis Joplin, which stars Mary Bridget Davies as the late rock singer. It officially opened at the Lyceum Theatre Oct. 10.
Written and directed by Randy Johnson, the new musical purported to dissect the musical roots of Joplin's inimitable vocal style without wallowing too much in the sordid details of her short life.
The general critical thrust was: Good concert; bland play. Most every review applauded Davies' eerily apt performance as Joplin, noting the actress' similar looks and vocal styles. (It's always disquieting to see drama critics — among the least hip people on the planet — use the word "rockin'" in a sentence.)Continued...

An 87-year-old man was scammed out of over $1,000 after a woman convinced him she was his wife's nurse. Glendale Police say the man was approached while shopping in a Wal-Mart near Northern Avenue and Loop 101 on Feb. 18. A woman allegedly told him she was taking care of his wife while she was in the hospital and would provide personal care for her if given a loan. Police say the man didn't know he was being scammed and drove the woman, along with another woman and a child, to his home. The man gave the two suspects over $1,000 in cash and his credit card number and then drove them back to Wal-Mart.The suspects possibly left in a white Chevrolet crew cab pickup truck. Police say the suspects spent about $2,000 on the man's credit card before the account could be closed.The first female suspect is described as 35-to 45-years-old, 5'4" to 5'6" inches tall, 150 to 160 pounds, with brown shoulder length hair. The second female suspect appears to be approximately 30-years-old, 5'4" to 5'6" inches tall, 130 pounds, with brown hair.

They also had a male child with them appearing to be 8-to 12-years-old.If you have information, call Glendale Police 623-930-3217 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Governor Sonny Perdue is working to strengthen voting verification in the state. He wants to make sure people who register to vote are eligible and are who they say they are.
Voter registrars applaud his actions and say it's important to protect the integrity of our elections process.
Perdue has appointed a special attorney general to work with the Department of Justice to get preclearance for the bills. One would require proof of United States citizenship. The other, would cross check information with state or federal databases.
The office of elections in Dougherty County is quiet for now, but that won't be the case for long. Early voting for the July Primaries starts soon, and the elections year won't wrap up until November. And when the polls open, and people come in to vote, they'll need to make sure to have all their information in check.
Elections Supervisor Ginger Nickerson said, "Just show your identify, say you are who you think you are, you're a citizen, you've got several different forms of ID you can use to prove that and that's it. I think it's good. It's a good check and balance system."
You already have to use a picture ID to vote, if the state gets approval for two election procedures, you'll have to provide some proof of who you are just to register to vote.
Nickerson said, "A lot of cases with the Department of Justice, they don't want to infringe on any particular individual and it's their job to make sure that across the board, everybody is treated equally."
Elections Supervisor Ginger Nickerson says even when the law about voter Identification went into place, voters were not upset. "We've never had a situation to arise where anyone complained." And she thinks both of these procedures will allow voters to be treated equally, while maintaining the integrity of the elections system.
Any change in voting laws must be approved by the Department of Justice before they are implemented.
States are required to verify the information provided by first time voter registration applicants with information already on file in state or federal databases. Georgia remains the only state not currently complying with that process.

Finishes and Coatings
An art form too, this plating process also marks a key point of differentiation from stainless-steel hooks. While stainless hooks require no protection from corrosive salt water, vulnerable carbon steel must be coated.
These coatings vary from bronze varieties — which offer little corrosion resistance — to concoctions that contain more protective elements like nickel, zinc and tin. Most manufacturers offer proprietary finishes, such as Eagle Claw's new Platinum+ coating, which are designed specifically for the rigors of salt water.
"We're using a lot of black-nickel finish," says Syd Rives, national sales manager for Spro Corp., which distributes Gamakatsu hooks. "We probably sell five black hooks for every one with a tin finish. It just looks tough. A lot of people think a black hook is stronger than a different-color hook, but it's not. It's often the same hook."
A coating's appearance can no doubt be a selling factor. But it has other roles too, including serving as a component in an angler's presentation.
"Take a look at red hooks," says Stallings. "We launched them in 2000 and still offer the color in pretty much all of our hook styles. The blood/injury factor really can make a huge difference in fish striking."
But even with the best finish, it's important that anglers take care of their carbon-steel hooks. This is especially true when sharpening a hook point, as doing so removes the protective coating, leaving the exposed metal vulnerable to corrosion. But it's not the only time.
"You'll watch a guy put all his hooks from the packaging into a tackle box, and then salt spray will come over the rail and cover 400 hooks in his box," says Pierce. "Inevitably, these hooks will rust. That can get really expensive."
Pierce keeps his hooks in their original packaging and then stores them in plastic bags in binders commonly used for plastic worms in freshwater bass fishing. "They'll never get wet and stay completely protected," he says.
A little care can go a long way — so keep your hooks primed and ready for action.

Aaron Johnson Gossip
Aaron Johnson gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Taylor-Johnsons
Wenn, Bauer, Fame/Flynet
Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson, my obsession, are married! Publicists have confirmed it. She wore McQueen, he wore Tom Ford. She's 45. He's 22. And they have two daughters. And they will live happily ever after! Sam and Aaron will now both be known as "Taylor-Johnson". Full Story
Anna Karenina! Finally!
If you're a daily reader, you know I've been asking about this often, especially the last few weeks as many of the expected Best Picture contenders are rolling out their campaigns. Here, finally, is the first trailer for Joe Wright's Anna Karenina, screenplay by Tom Stoppard, starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, and so many more. Full Story
Can we PLEASE get a trailer for this?
Over the last 3 weeks or so, most of the expected Oscar contending features have been rolling out their first trailers...but for Anna Karenina. Joe Wright, can you PLEASE get on this??? This is another film Duana and I will be seeing together, holding hands. Right after Les Miserables. I've been saying for a while, ever since the previews for Savages came out, that I'm not sure how I'll make it out of the theatre after watching two hours of Aaron Johnson. Full Story
My Obsession & Karl
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty
Chanel Resort 2013 was presented at Versailles yesterday. Click here to see the collection in LifeStyle. Everyone says that this event is the one you wait for. I've heard of fashion editors moving around their annual schedules, forgoing personal time, stabbing backs if they have to, in order to accommodate it. Full Story
Taylor will be OK. Blake might be better
Chung Sung-Jun/Getty
As mentioned several times already, after screening Oliver Stone's Savages a couple of months ago, Universal was so jacked by its potential that it moved its release date up from September to July, right in the middle of box office season. My sources told me during Oscar week that Savages is indeed very, VERY promising. Full Story
My Obsession and their Hero
It will be a good day today.

My Obsession has a Hero
Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson are the proud parents of a second daughter between them and her fourth overall. That's a LOT of shoes. Her name is Romy Hero. I kinda love it.

They are blonde together
My Obsession, Sam Taylor-Wood + Aaron Johnson, noted this way on purpose, are seen here arriving at the London Film Festival tonight. She is pregnant again with their second, her fourth.

Riggs gets a photoshoot
Hilary Frommer/ Splash
It is about f-cking time. What a treat today! New photos of Taylor Kitsch. And hot!This is Taylor at photo shoot in the California desert.

Catasauqua High School Drama Club presents the Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II classic "The King & I" Feb. 28-March 3. The story, which boasts music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, is based on "Anna & The King of Siam" by Margaret Landon. Original choreography was by Jerome Robbins.
The production will have a cast of 44 students from all three Catasauqua schools. Featured will be four former Freddy Award nominees: Kanyi Creppy as the King, Janelle Roth as Anna, Natalie Leggett as Tuptim and Taylor Phillips, dancing the role of Eliza in the ballet sequence. Also featured are Brittany Archbold as Lady Thiang and Mason Halliday as Lun Tha.
Director Bob Fahringer says he selected "The King & I" because it suited the school's talent pool. "Also, I have played the role of the King myself professionally twice and was familiar with the quality of the show. The Catasauqua Area Showcase Theatre, a local community theatre, also had costumes and scenery in stock for this show and were kind enough to loan us all of it."
Performances are 7 p.m. Feb. 28, March 1 and March 2 and 2 p.m. March 3. Reserved seats are $7; $6, seniors, students. For reservations, call 610- 697-0111, ext. 21117. All performances are at the CHS auditorium at 2500 West Bullshead Road, Northampton.
