DETROIT (AP) — Michael Vick's second touchdown pass put the Philadelphia Eagles ahead just before halftime and they had to hold on to beat the Detroit Lions 35-32.
LeSean McCoy gave the Eagles (1-1) an 18-point lead with his third score with 6:17 left Sunday.
The Lions (0-2) rallied to pull within three points and recovered an onside kick with 1:50 left, but turned the ball over on downs without gaining a yard.
Vick started at quarterback for the first time since 2006. He missed two seasons while serving an 18-month sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation and played sparingly last year.
The electrifying athlete was 21 of 34 for 284 yards with two TDs, ran for 37 yards and avoided losses with spin moves and slick steps.
Shaun Hill was 25 of 45 for 335 yards with two TDs and two interceptions in place of the injured Matthew Stafford.

Matt Mitchell and Joe Augustine may have bugged the Cougars' hitters — they managed just two hits off the Bees pitchers — but all the players were bugged by, well, bugs.
An infestation of Buffalo gnats, or black flies, sent swarms of the insects buzzing around the players' heads.
"The bugs are horrible," said Bees third baseman Jason Taylor. "I don't know about anyone else, but I think they're more attracted to me for some reason. I have no idea how to get them off me. I'm taking off my hat, swatting them and stuff and they just won't go away."
Not even the players and coaches in the dugout were immune.
"It was horrible," Bees manager Brian Rupp said. "The dugout was not good. They are a pain in the butt."
FUN IN THE DUGOUT: With a three-game winning streak under their belts, the Bees were finally able to relax in the dugout during the game, a 4-0 shutout of the Cougars. The Bees swept Kane County Tuesday.
Now the bats are coming alive, and the pitching staff is rolling, the dugout has been fun.
"We're starting to have fun. Earlier in the year we weren't having much fun," Burlington outfielder Jamar Walton said. "There was a lot of pressure because we started off slow in hitting. The pitching was doing good but we couldn't score runs when we needed them so that caused us to lose a lot of games."
Said Taylor, "We had a lot of fun in the dugout tonight. These last three games we've been playing real well. I guess when you play as well as we have, sometimes you get to have a little bit of fun. So we were playing pranks on each other and all that. It was a good night."
MOVING ON UP: Tuesday and Wednesday, outfielder Wilson Tucker hit in the No. 2 spot, and found quite a bit of success.
Tuesday, between the two games of the doubleheader, Tucker hit for the cycle.
Wednesday, he was 1-for-4 with a run scored.
The spot is likely temporary.
"He'll probably go back down when D Lough's (Dave Lough, who is out with a sore hamstring) ready to come back," Rupp said. "He'll probably move back down to the middle of the lineup."

KUSA - A dad waiting to pick up his kid from school witnessed student after student slipping and falling on the same piece of black ice.
Instead of heeding a warning to kids, he decided to film them unexpectedly approach the slippery patch of ice.
"There goes one!" he exclaimed as the first unsuspecting kid fell in the six-minute video that has since gone viral.
Watch it here: http://bit.ly/1fa3r0S
Posted by BaconTFM on YouTube, he continues filming and provides viewers with some play-by-play as the ice strikes child after child. The location of the school was not mentioned.
"We got another kid coming," he said as a student came around the bend oblivious to what was going to happen next. "He's going a little fast. If he turns here, he's going to drill it right about now," the dad said as the kid gets some air time.
When his kid finally gets into the car, the fun continues.
"Watch this kid. I guarantee you he's going to drill it," the dad tells his daughter. The prediction was spot on.
"We're kind of bad people" the girl tells her dad as they continue watching some major slippage for another two and a half minutes.
It may be a little wrong to laugh, but then again nobody was hurt.
Try watching the video without laughing yourself.

Wilsons Arch, Utah, USA
The World > North America > USA > Utah
Wilson's Arch is a natural sandstone arch in southeastern Utah, USA. The arch is just 450 feet (137m) off U.S. Highway 191, 24 miles (39km) south of Moab, Utah. The arch has a span of 91 feet (28m) and height of 46 feet (14m). It is an easy walk for the sure-footed from the road to the arch. The climb is about 120 feet (37m) and one can stand right in the arch.
Wilson's Arch is non-commercialized and there are no services at the arch. This also includes fees; there is no charge to hike around and in the arch. Due to it's proximity to the road, this arch is heavily visited, both by viewers from the parking area as well as visitors walking up to enjoy the thrill of actually standing in the arch.
The arch is named after a local pioneer who lived nearby, Joe Wilson. The arch was formed over time by water seeping into natural cracks in the sandstone and freezing.

"Personal Reflections on Nelson Mandela's Legacy"
Linda Biehl is the co-founder and director of the Amy Biehl Foundation in the U.S. and the Amy Biehl Foundation Trust in South Africa. Linda's relationship to South Africa and the genesis of these Foundations is grounded in the life and death of her daughter Amy.
Justice is central to Linda Biehl's message of peace and reconciliation. Following in the footsteps of Desmond Tutu, Linda Biehl and the Amy Biehl Foundation embrace restorative, rather than retributive justice. At a personal level Linda Biehl embraced restorative justice by building a relationship with two of the youth convicted for the death of her daughter. At a professional level Linda works in communities in South Africa as she continues to spread "Amy's magic".
Linda Biehl and the Amy Biehl Foundation have worked to fulfill three important rights in the South African Constitution: the right to education, the right to equal employment, and the right to health. For Linda Biehl justice is more than rights written into an official document; justice is converting those rights into reality. written into an official document; justice is converting those rights into reality.

"Russia, Gay Rights, and the Sochi Olympics" by Dr. David Stone
Dr. David Stone has taught in the History Department at Kansas State University since 1999 and specializes in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union. In addition to having received his Ph.D from Yale University in 1997, Dr. Stone has written several books on Russian history and will discuss how gay rights and the Sochi Olympics fit into its storied past.
Russia has been in the news in recent months because of its anti-homosexual legislation and the resulting calls in the West for an Olympic boycott. Professor David R. Stone, who teaches Russian history at Kansas State and has written several books on the subject, will discuss the Olympics, gay rights, and how those fit both into a larger context of Russian history and the particular politics of Vladimir Putin's Russia today. Stone will suggest that the two sides are largely talking past each other: Western voices describe the issue as one of individual rights: the ability of individuals to determine how they will live their lives. In Russia, by contrast, the issue is looked at in cultural and national terms rather than individual terms. Russian opinion generally regards the West as hypocritically and unilaterally imposing its own values on other societies. Ironically, Russian civil society has raised many concerns about the Sochi Olympics, but those have received far less attention in the West.

New Coyote Sam Gagner: Arizona is a good fit for me
Originally published: Jun 30, 2014 - 2:47 pm
The team had signed veteran Mike Ribeiro prior to last season with the hopes that he would bring some scoring punch, but things didn't go as planned and the team bought out his contract Friday afternoon.
So, over the weekend, the Coyotes swung a deal for a replacement.
And in Sam Gagner, they landed a 24-year-old center who is coming off a down year but has shown an ability to put points on the board.
"We are very pleased to acquire a talented, young center like Sam Gagner," said Coyotes GM Don Maloney in a statement. "He has the intelligence, character and skill set we were looking for and we believe he has further growth in his game. We look forward to welcoming Sam to Arizona."
A guest of Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Monday, Gagner, who was actually dealt twice Sunday, said he believed the whole time he would end up in the Valley, and he thinks it's a good spot for him.
"I like the way the team's going and I like the way I'm going to fit, so I think it's an exciting opportunity for me and I'm looking forward to getting the season started," he said.
Gagner has played all seven of his NHL seasons for the Edmonton Oilers. The sixth overall selection in the 2007 NHL Draft, he quickly developed into an offensive threat. From his rookie year in 2007 to 2012-13 he tallied 258 points (91 goals, 167 assists) in 414 games. While not a star, he was certainly productive.
However, his play dipped a bit last season, with him posting just 10 goals and 27 assists. But now he gets a fresh start with a team that is more competitive than the one he last played with, which is an appealing prospect for a player who has never appeared in a postseason game.
"I think there's a lot of great pieces," he said of his new team. "I've had a chance to play against Phoenix a lot in the last little while -- I guess Arizona now. But I know that they play a hard style and everybody on the team plays the right way.
"It's an exciting time for me to get a chance to go a team like that and I'm hoping that I can help them be a contender for years to come."
That's the idea.
What Gagner brings to the table is something the Coyotes could definitely use more of.
"I like to play a creative style of game where I'm making the players around me better," he said of what people can expect from him. "I think that's something, when I'm really going I'm really looking for two-on-ones all over the ice and trying to use my linemates and make those guys better, too.
"I think that's what I can bring. I think I can be good on the power play. I'm continually working on being good defensively on both sides of the puck, and I'm excited to come there and add to the already strong group that they have."

In Sunday's all-new "Mad Men" episode, death and despair continue to seep into the big picture. But in the midst of sniper shootings, highway crashes and men who "have nothing," is there a faint signal of hope? Spoilers ahead!
What happened:
Pete's taking a course to get his driver's license, and eyeing a high school girl from class.After flirting with her, Pete suggests a tentative date, but no luck: He gets, er, jock-blocked by a more age-appropriate male student with impressive biceps. This storyline cleverly continues the season's recurring is-it-a-dream-or-not-a-dream trope. The opening sequence reveals Pete in a high school setting, and is then deceptively followed by a shot of him lying awake in bed. When we discover the class is real, it's all the more poignant -- he's longing for a time when athletes and cheerleader types exchange lustful small-talk over desks, and when social kings and queens are clear-cut by cuteness and popularity. I get the feeling that Pete never had that golden time when he was younger, and he's in sore need of it now.
Lane's fellow Brit, Edwin, wants to bring luxury car company Jaguar to Sterling Cooper Draper Price. Don, Roger and Pete will be damned if Lane bungles the job, and Roger coaches him on dinner-and-deal etiquette. "It's like a date," says Roger, where at the end of the evening the two men should confess some mutual personal problems, and thus form a stronger bond. Unfortunately for Lane, Edwin had a terrific time in North Africa and hasn't "a complaint in the world."
The big boys strong-arm Lane away from the Jaguar account, and begin the serious wooing. This means prostitutes. At an upscale brothel, Edwin, Roger and Pete all pair off, while Don opts for drinks at the bar over women in lingerie. In a season marked by violence, death and crippling insecurities, this is a true moment of hope. Meanwhile, Pete's prostitute wants to know his role-playing preference. "You're my king" satisfies him -- and says so much.
The following day, Lane is livid. Edwin's wife found "chewing gum on his pubis," and the Jaguar account is off. Pete snarks at Lane, and Lane challenges him to a fist fight. This is the fight that all "Mad Men" fans have been wanting to see without knowing it. Lane wins, but the competition is paltry.
"He's a robot":Ken Cosgrove's side-career as a writer is the beautiful lining of this episode. The short story described during the Campbell dinner party has particular resonance: A robot dismantles a bridge between planets. The male characters this season are struggling with their roles at work and at home. Lane asks Joan of SCDP, "What do I do here?" He feels like a cog at the mercy of a more powerful machine. By contrast, Pete has become intensely aggressive in his career as a way of trying to answer the same question. Roger is one lost account away from complete redundancy. These men feel like robots. They go through the motions, and hope they can find a purpose in the process. It's telling that role-playing sex has come up more than once this season.
Pete's role as a man is thrown into question, too: He can't fix that damned leaky faucet. The drip-drip-drip haunts the episode.
Meanwhile, Ken has the opposite problem. He has a very fulfilling role -- as an author -- that he must keep hidden.
The title:"Signal 30" is the title of a 1959 precautionary shock-documentary featuring mutilated cars and mutilated people that Pete watches in his driving class. The term refers to the police code for death. As in last week's episode, violence and death are everywhere. Pete's young crush mentions University of Texas sniper Charles Whitman, and the terrible news story comes up again during the Campbell's dinner party. (When Cynthia Cosgrove accidentally calls the sniper Charles Whitmore, Don uncomfortably corrects her: "Whitman.")
After Roger tells Ken to keep his writing concealed at SCDP, Ken pronounces to Peggy that his pen name has expired: "Ben Hargrove is dead." But, unlike many of the worn-down male characters from this episode, Ken is indefatigable. In a moving voice-over sequence, he reveals his new pseudonym, Dave Algonquin.
Any other interpretations or ideas? Thoughts about the episode?
Tomris | April 16, 2012 1:27 PM
Definitely. This season makes me wanna go back to the very beginning and watch all seasons back to back.
Question: In yesterday's episode, who was drawing a hanging rope on a note pad? I recall it being Don...but was it Pete by any chance? It was during the meeting where they were discussing the possibility of the Jaguar account, I think.
Also, I thought the episode ended with Beethoven's 9th (and not the 5th)?
Beth Hanna | April 16, 2012 1:06 PM
@Tomris -- Yes. Also, that inclusion of Beethoven's 5th at the episode's end is so moving, and so dark given that the musical selections over the credits are usually era-contemporary pop songs. It's interesting how death has followed Pete around since Season 1, with his father being killed in the airplane crash.
Tomris | April 16, 2012 12:58 PM
Dave Algonquin's story is obviously the VO that defines Pete. He is lonely and he is stuck in the suburbs which he hates. "Death stands in the doorway" for him, as told as part of the VO. Salon.com predicted death for Pete Campbell a couple of weeks back (http://www.salon.com/2012/03/30/pete_campbell_1934_1966/), and after yesterday night's episode, it is hard not to agree.

Cocos Island and the Gemelas Seamounts
In September 2009, National Geographic Fellow Enric Sala, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Sylvia Earle, and a team of leading marine scientists from Central America and across the globe gathered together in Costa Rica. Destination: Cocos Island—Isla del Coco, ringed by some of the most shark-rich waters anywhere—and the submerged and all-but-unexplored summits of the Gemelas ("Twin Sisters") Seamounts.
The team worked with local marine scientists and conservation organizations to document these aquatic ecosystems. The data, they hope, will help to establish new scientific baselines for intact—and critically important—environments.
While Cocos has helped define the world's image of an untouched island paradise for centuries, the Gemelas Seamounts have lurked, mostly unseen and unknown, beneath hundreds of feet of seawater. But marine creatures know them as fertile and important waypoints on their wanderings. These rich feeding grounds may be critical to the survival of many of the migratory predators that pass through them.

8:50am Monday 3rd December 2012 in News
A POST mortem carried out on Janeé Parsons yesterday confirmed the Bicester mother died of multiple stab wounds.
A 38-year-old man arrested on Saturday on suspicion of murder remains in police custody.
Mrs Parsons' family had flown over from the United States to identify the body.
Police were called to a house in Lucerne Avenue, Bicester at 10am on Saturday following reports of a row.
Despite attempts by police and ambulance staff to resuscitate her, Mrs Parsons was declared dead at hospital.
Shocked neighbours and colleagues have described the 31-year-old skin specialist as "wonderful" and declared their immense sadness at her death.

One of the highlights of a visit to the famed Opryland resort is taking a cruise on the General Jackson Showboat. Visitors can enjoy dinner and a stage show while sailing along the Cumberland River in this 300-foot vessel, styled to resemble a 19th century paddlewheel riverboat.
But while it's steeped in Old South tradition, the General Jackson has gone strictly 21st century in its theatrical lighting. A new package of intelligent fixtures from Elation Professional was recently installed in the boat's Victorian Theatre, a majestic two-story dinner theatre where the main stage shows are held.
The room's lighting had previously consisted primarily of conventional PAR cans and Ellipsoid fixtures, but the boat's entertainment and design staff felt it was time to upgrade. "They wanted to move 100% into intelligent lighting," says Peter Vaque of Springtree Media Group , which performed the installation upgrade. "They were seeking a cooler, hipper look with greater control."
To illuminate the theatre's large open space, the boat's lighting designer, Han Henze, spec'd an ensemble of three 575W Elation units, consisting of: 16 Design Spot 575Es, a moving head spot/wash hybrid; 10 CMY Zoom-575s, a CMY color mixing fixture; and 18 Power Wash 575Es, a moving head wash.
The Design Spot 575E was chosen because, with a total of 12 interchangeable gobos on two wheels and a Gobo Overlay effect, it "lets them create a lot of moving gobo designs," explains Vaque. The Power Wash 575E fixtures are used to color-wash portions of the stage, while the CMY Zoom-575s provide backlighting.
All three fixtures feature true CMY color mixing, a major reason why they were selected. "With everything being a true color, the stage directors can coordinate all the lights in the same color, and they can change colors gradually," Vaque notes. "You get a million color variations with these intelligent fixtures, lower power consumption, and low heat generation, something that cannot be accomplished with conventional fixtures."
Vaque says that another reason he advocated Elation products is because of their value for the dollar. "Moving head spots in the Design Spot 575E's price range don't typically have CMY mixing," he noted.
The General Jackson's entertainment staff is very please with the outcome of the project, reports Vaque. As part of the Opryland complex, the showboat is owned by Gaylord Hotels, one of the premier resort/convention center operators in the nation.
"They could have installed any brand of lighting in the General Jackson, but they chose to go with Elation," said Vaque. "When they saw the features of the lights, they absolutely loved them. When I told them they could save money with Elation, they loved them even more."

Happy Good Friday from the 29th annual Marshmallow Drop. Jessica Starr reports children were eagerly waiting to run into the drop zone and collect marshmallows. Two Marshmallow Drops took place, one in Trenton and the second in Westland, both free and open to the public.In celebration of Easter, thousands of marshmallows were dropped from the Easter Bunny's helicopter. Once the helicopter left, children were let into the drop area. They can collect as many marshmallows as they would like, but only one is necessary for an Easter-themed prize. The blizzard of marshmallows included more than 20,000 bunny tail-like, fluffy treats.Wayne County parks hosted both Marshmallow Drops, the first at 9 a.m. at Elizabeth Park in Trenton, the second at 11 a.m. at Nankin Mills Park in Westland.Three separate drops for children took place, based on age. Groups included ages 4 and younger, 5-7, and 8 and older. The event is not competitive and collectors only need one marshmallow to receive a prize. After picking up marshmallows, parents and children move to the treat area to redeem their marshmallow for a prize.Facebook: www.facebook.com/pages/Wayne-County-Parks/195449325178Twitter: www.twitter.com/WCParksMiWayne County parks event online: www.co.wayne.mi.us/dps/dps_parks_events.htm

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -- Celtic eased into the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup on Saturday, beating Inverness 2-0 in one of four all-Premier League matches in the fifth round.
Greece striker Georgios Samaras opened the scoring in the 33rd minute by smashing a shot high past Inverness goalkeeper Jonny Tuffey.
Captain and central midfielder Scott Brown made the game safe in the 67th, converting a penalty for his third goal in three games after Gary Hooper was fouled.
Rangers, which is a point behind Celtic at the top of the Premier League, will look to join its Glasgow rival in the draw for the last eight when it hosts Dundee United on Sunday.

you take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
and sweet, sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
- Sweet Surrender, Sarah McLachlan
If there is one thing I could lose my life over, if there is one thing I could live the rest of my days on, if there is only one thing I could wake up to every morning, I would gladly find myself in a utopian brown-and-purple world, singing to the Cadbury tunes of "Wouldn't it be nice". The sweetest surrender, I assure you.
Which was why it came as no suprise that when SHF #32 asked for The One craved dessert, I knew I had to mark my virginal entry into the event with a chocolate-dripped apron. Pure, simple, unadorned, yet oh-so-sinful chocolate.

In my understanding, only (a) is grammatically correct.
(a) He is taller than any other boy in his class.
(b) He is taller than any other boys in his class.
Then which one of the following sentences is better?
1)The two boys are taller than any other boys.
2)The two boys are taller than any other boy.
I have another question.
What about the following case?
These shoes are more expensive than any other shoes/shoe in this store.

United boss Lewis is left fuming
9:30am Monday 24th February 2014 in Headlines By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Oxford United caretaker manager Mickey Lewis was furious after a stoppage-time equaliser cost the U's two crucial points in the battle for promotion.
The visitors led for almost 80 minutes thanks to David Connolly's razor-sharp instincts in front of goal.
But just as at Bristol Rovers a fortnight earlier, United were forced backwards in the closing stages and were pegged back for a 1-1 draw.
Robbie Threlfall was adjudged to have forced the ball over the line after the visitors failed to clear a 91st-minute corner.
It was a big blow to Lewis, whose side dropped out of the top three as a result.
"I'll be honest, I'm fuming. I'm not happy at all," he said.
"I think we should have come away with three points, definitely.
"We were a goal ahead and I just thought in the last 20 minutes we didn't impose ourselves on the game.
"We should've done better going forward, we had good possession and we gave it away too cheaply."
He added: "We didn't win enough headers or enough tackles in the last 20 minutes.
"I was fairly happy up to that point. I always felt we could go and get another goal, especially as the game went on because Morecambe were going to press even more for an equaliser.
"We just seemed to put ourselves on the back foot with some bad decisions."
Not for the first time in his four weeks in charge, Lewis' teamsheet revealed some surprises.
Midfielder Scott Davies was given the task of replacing the suspended Tom Newey at left back.
It was part of a back four which saw Sam Long handed his senior debut at centre half, while right back Matt Bevans was given a rest.
Lewis said: "Matt Bevans has been really good, but he's a young kid who has played six games on the trot and sometimes youngsters need a breather.
"We didn't think young David (Lynn) was quite ready yet, although he's improving.
"I thought Scotty did a decent enough job at left back and Sam Long was excellent on his (full) debut."
With seven first-team players unavailable a draw was not a disaster, although Lewis thought it would take until today to draw some positives from the result.
He said: "Probably come Monday morning I will do, but at the moment, no."
Deane Smalley and Dave Kitson both missed the game with minor hamstring injuries, but Lewis hopes the pair will be available for Saturday's visit to Rochdale.

Most of the more than 100 animals seized from a farm in Elk last week by Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service (SCRAPS) have found new homes.
"It has been a long week for SCRAPS but we think we see a light at the end of the tunnel," said SCRAPS Development Coordinator Jackie Bell. "Our community has been so unbelievably supportive of SCRAPS by donating time, money, supplies and now adopting these animals," she continued.
SCRAPS has adopted all of the animals from this seizure.
"We have received many donations and letters of support and encouragement, but due to the extensive amount of veterinary care, and the size of the seizure, SCRAPS still needs community donations," Bell said.

The ELC Bridge Program
The Bridge Program is designed for conditionally admitted students with TOEFL iBT scores from 61 to 79 (PBT 500-550) or IELTS scores from 5.5 to 6.5.
The program combines credit bearing academic courses with noncredit courses in English. The noncredit English courses provide students with instruction in writing, reading, listening/note-taking and speaking skills.
Successful completion of two semesters of the Undergraduate or Graduate Bridge Program satisfies the university's English proficiency requirement.
How to Apply
International students must submit an application to the Office of International Admissions.
Permanent Residents must submit a domestic application to the Office of Admissions. Upon acceptance to Old Dominion University, students whose English language proficiency does not meet the required standard are placed into the Bridge Program.
Bridge Programs
The Undergraduate Bridge Program is a university program designed for undergraduate students who are nonnative English speakers with TOEFL scores between 500 and 550, (iBT 61-79). The Undergraduate Bridge Program curriculum combines credit courses with a noncredit course in English.
Credit Courses
With the help of an advisor, Undergraduate Bridge Program students enroll in up to 2 classes (8 hours) of credit course work. One of these classes must be from the designated general education courses; the other class should be one that is needed for the student's degree.
Noncredit Courses
In addition to the credit courses, the Bridge student enrolls in 8-hours of noncredit ESL classes. The curriculum for this noncredit class is designed to provide personalized assistance in coordination of assignments and class work in the student's specific general education course, as well as general language instruction to improve the writing, reading, listening/note-taking and speaking skills needed for success at Old Dominion University.
Length of Study
Students may study in the Undergraduate Bridge Program for up to 2 semesters. Undergraduate Bridge students gain unconditional admission to Old Dominion University by scoring a minimum of 550 (iBT 79-80) on the TOEFL or by successfully completing 2 semesters of the Undergraduate Bridge Program with a grade point average of 2.5 in their credit courses and a grade of B and 85% attendance in their English noncredit course.
Like the Undergraduate Bridge Program, the Graduate Bridge Program is a special course for graduate students who have been admitted to Old Dominion University and have TOEFL scores between 500 and 550, (iBT 61-79). The curriculum for the semester-long Graduate Bridge (approximately 15 weeks) combines 7 hours per week of English instruction with one 3-hour credit course from the student's graduate program.
Admission to Full-Time Students
Graduate Bridge students will achieve full-time university status and be admitted to Old Dominion University when they successfully complete 2 semesters in the Graduate Bridge Program with a grade of B in their credit classes and a grade of B and 85% attendance in their English classes. Graduate Bridge students can also achieve full-time university status by receiving a TOEFL score of 550 (iBT 79-80).

Select Route:
Deep Prok is a typical E-Rock slab climb that starts below the center part of the Runamuck arch. Start below a bolt about eight feet off the ground. Clip the bolt and head right to a second bolt under the center of the arch. Climb to the arch (good 0.5 Camalot placement here), pull over, and work up a small headwall to the third bolt. After the third bolt, the angle eases a little, but the climbing remains a little thin up to the fourth bolt. From here the rest of the route is pretty easy. Head up to a good sized ledge split by a large crack passing two more bolts en route to the anchors. Either rappel the route, or scramble up and over the top of the dome.
Six quickdraws, a small cam or two (0.5 Camalot) to protect the moves over the arch, and something for the anchors at the top.

The Gale Library Board of Trustees would like to ask the residents of Newton to approve Warrant Article 18, which will change the Library Director's position from a part-time to a full-time one.
The Gale Library continues to set records each year in its circulation of books, magazines, and videos, its programming, and computer use by the public. Our technical inventory is becoming more complex. Our part-time director needs more time to research and purchase materials, plan ever-increasing numbers of programs for the public and to coordinate our 6 part-time employees. The Trustees believe that we need a full-time director to implement all these programs and to maximize the functioning of the library as a community resource.
The additional cost to you the taxpayer would be $3.75 for a house valued at $250,000. This would cover the cost of additional wages and benefits for the full-time position. Please vote "Yes" on Article 18, to make the Gale Library Director a full-time position in order to better meet the growing needs of our library community.
Thank you for your support.

It's commonplace now to see athletes publicly endorse products on social media in exchange for compensation. It's not nefarious, heck, listened to radio lately? There's nothing wrong with a well-crafted, subtle advertisement for a local product. In the case of Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart his approach was neither well-crafted, nor subtle.
These CPI security commercials are intense! If you don't have home security looks like CPI is the way to go @cpi_security— Jonathan Stewart (@Jonathanstewar1) November 13, 2012
This tweet is the perfect example of why Jonathan Stewart is so awesome. There's something so delightfully unaware that this is an utterly terrible product placement, and yet none of it matters to J-Stew.
The last time we saw this kind of advertising from a Panthers player it was Jimmy Clausen in 2010, who didn't do it much better.
I've got my @joe's jeans on heading to my rookie dinner with the QBs and my O-Line!! Should be a fun one with the guys— Jimmy Clausen (@JimmyClausen) October 11, 2010
Maybe we need to have a couple of Panthers players push CSR... hmm... let me craft a tweet for them.
"WOW... I just read Cat Scratch Reader! That is certainly a place to read news. Looks like Cat Scratch Reader is the place to go! @CatScratchreadr"

NKU opens a one-stop services center to boost graduation and retention rates
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Dennis Repenning loves the students of Northern Kentucky University – really, he does.
But… "We want you to graduate and move on," the board of regents chair said. "Outside that door is a new life."
Tackling NKU's stubbornly low retention and graduation rates was a major motivation behind development of its Student Success Center, a new one-stop shop that brings together 10 vital service centers under one roof.
Faculty and administrators want the facility to connect all the dots to give students the best chance possible to stay in school, perform well and be focused on a career path along the way.
NKU's freshmen class grew nearly 10 percent this year, but its overall enrollment was flat due to attrition. According to statistics compiled by U.S. News & World Report, the freshmen retention rate is 67 percent, the four-year graduation rate is 13 percent, and the six-year graduation rate is 37 percent.
NKU President Geoffrey Mearns noted that the numbers ticked up this year – the four-year graduation rate ticked up improved from 11 percent, for example compared to 2012 – but he wants much better results in coming years.
Speaking at the center's grand opening Wednesday, Mearns said collaboration among services to keep students on the right track was at the heart of the center.
The new center gathers 11 service providers from all points of the campus into the University Center building, which has undergone major renovations.
Kadori Ngirabakunzi, a second-year nursing student, visited the Norse Tech Bar, a cluster of flat-screen computers and other hardware that is staffed by IT experts.
"We needed to work on our study guide, and I had to get my NKU email hooked up to my phone," she said.
Ngirabakunzi had been downstairs to get help with finding scholarships. "I really like it. This place is great," she said.
The colocation has connected many more students to the Testing & Disability Services office, according to Laura Dektas, the office's secretary. Students with any diagnosed physical or mental impairment can receive help to ensure they can thrive in school.
"We're leveling the playing field," Dektas said, making special arrangements like longer test times for students diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or providing software that reads computerized text for blind students.
She said there are about 600 active students with documented disabilities taking classes.
Shirl Short, associate director of the career services office, said bunching all of the services together has already prompted closer cooperation among agencies.
"We have a whole slew of folks we can refer people to," she said, to make sure that students aren't waylaid by any number of potential impediments, including physical or mental health challenges, money issues or even language barriers, in the case of international students, who can visit the international education center.
For students who are preparing to graduate, the career center has 2,800 employers on file ready to help place graduate in a job through the Norse Recruiting database.
Jerry Hazlett, an army veteran and a nursing student, has taken advantage of the Veteran's Resource Center to study with fellow student Tara Rich and to interact with other veterans trying to transition into academia from the military. "It's fantastic. I think it's great," he said.
Marshall "Dave" Merriss, director of the veterans station, said his office is the first point of contact for the 500-plus veterans on campus. It's a place to study, socialize and be connected to peer mentors.
Nancy Castlemen, 65, is a 1976 NKU grad who jumped at the chance to return to campus to take tuition-free classes using the school's Donovan fellowship that pays tuition and fees for people 65 or older for credited courses.
She's taking art appreciation and American history courses and has used multiple services at the success center, including boning up on computer work.
"That's the hardest part of being an old student – all this technology," Castleman said. Still, she's adapting with some help and having a lot of fun while learning, she said. "I thought that the only way I was going to come here for free was as a cadaver for the nursing students," she said laughing.

Right. Bill Clinton said "The era of Big Government is over". What comes out of a politicians' mouth is meaningless. Ryan has a record, and it is a record of growing Big Government. The GOP ticket - yet again - is not at all interested in limited government. Since the GOP is not running someone with a political view that I can support, I'm voting for someone I can support - Gary Johnson. I may not get what I want this time, but instead of a vote that says, "I'm OK with a totalitarian government, so long as it's run by the GOP", I'm casting a vote that says "I want to limit government".

Jeff Siegel's Prime Picks for Thursday, Jan. 15
We have another Pick-6 carryover to attack today – there's $103,255 already in the pool – but the task is challenging. There's not one logical Pick-6 single in the sequence, let alone two. But if you're playing, consider the following: The 3rd race is a puzzling maiden claiming dash that looks like a spread. #1 Lucious Antonius has worked impressively for his comeback for new trainer Jennie Green (had been a Peter Miller) and will race without blinkers in his first start for a tag. Hard to say if he's nothing more than a cheap speed type but I suppose you have to use him. #4 Forster Hall is another comebacker and obviously has to be better than his only start last year in Florida, a race against straight maidens in which he had brief early speed before stopping to a walk. Trained by Mark Casse, the Deputy Minister gelding has worked like he's ready and lands Casse's main guy, Patrick Husbands. #6 James Prior is the morning line favorite at 2-1 and has steadily rising speed figures while returning to the maiden claiming ranks. He's a route to sprint play and adds blinkers and should fold into a great stalking spot. A couple of decent working first timers (#2 Izemine, #3 Wizard Man) wouldn't surprise in the least, making this race one of the most difficult on the program. Use as many as you can afford to use. The 4th race – a downhill turf sprint – is no picnic, either. We suggest you use #1 North Rodeo and #2 Filter but a strong case can be made for a few others as well. North Rodeo ran well over this course during the Oak Tree meeting, earning a career top 89 Beyer figure when third in the Cal Cup Distaff Handicap and a repeat of that effort today likely will be good enough for a win. Filter is a route to sprint play, lightly-raced, and capable of improving for trainer Doug O'Neill. She should be part of what might be a soft pace. #8 Unworldly Heat tries turf for the first time and she's by Unusual Heat, so improvement is likely. And #9 Summertime has winning connections and competitive figures and should be dangerous from off the pace. This is another possible spread. The 5th race has just six starters but three can be considered major contenders. #1 Lucky Striker is improving with each start for top Bay Area trainer Bill Morey and with another forward move today could easily extend her winning streak to three. The rail is no bargain but she's a "must use." #4 Flew First Class retains Bejarano and is a solid fit on numbers. She's not real quick so she'll be doing her best running late. If you feel compelled to add another, morning line choice #3 Homemade Brew certainly is good enough, although this huge class drop ($62,500 to $25,000) causes a bit of a concern. Maybe she has a hole in her, or maybe Ted West is simply trying to steal a purse. An older filly and mare maiden dash in the 6th race looks like a logical spot for #9 Lavender, who lost all chance at the start when breaking poorly yet wound up a closing third in her debut across town in a turf sprint. She's been :57 and change in the morning since and if she leaves with her field today she'll be hard to deny. Right alongside her is #10 More Than Music, who also broke slowly in her debut at Hollywood Park before finishing with interest to be second and she, too, has every right to make a major forward move today. A nice price filly to throw in if you can afford to is #4 Keira's Way, a Bay Area shipper who qualifies under the route to sprint angle and has speed figures that give her a long shot chance (she's 10-1 on the morning line). Complicating matters is the presence of first time starter #6 Kicken Vixen, who blew out in :33 1/5 five days ago for trainer Julio Canani, who won with a first timer over the weekend. Rafael Bejarano has worked her in the morning and will ride today, so she looks like a live item. The 7th race is another grass grab bag down the hill. #9 Pretty Carina ran well enough in her local debut when third at Hollywood Park and she's earned the kind of consistent speed figures that make her a strong contender and a possible Pick-6 single. However, the contention runs deep. #4 Heathersdaddysbaby loves to win (11 victories from 32 starts) and is thoroughly genuine and versatile. She's shortening up after wiring a softer field going long on the lawn but can be equally effective sprinting. #7 We Will Rock You won sprinting on turf at Delaware last summer while earning a solid speed figure and she gets Gomez for her California debut. She broke her maiden at first asking so you know she can run well fresh. Yet another contender is #8 Crown of Diamonds, who fits very well on numbers and need only duplicate her main track form on turf to be extremely dangerous. If you get this far in your Pick-6 – and you must be a terrific handicapper if you have – the 8th race is a challenging maiden claimer without a logical top horse. #6 Hasty Trend switches to Gomez and is dropping from M100,000 to M32,000 after finishing a moderate 6th with some early trouble earlier this meeting. Second time starters from the Mullins barn usually improve and this colt likely will as well but we doubt he's any world beater. The other big class dropper seems quite a bit more suspicious. #4 Coleville finished 5th (beaten more than 7 lengths) in his only start in a hot straight maiden dash last month at Hollywood Park and he's a nicely-bred Elusive Quality colt who is basically being thrown away by trainer Art Sherman in just his second career outing. #7 Capt. Pike is a solid fit at this level, having finished second in his last pair, but is not terribly exciting based on speed figures. And #9 Cole's Favorite is a second time starter adding blinkers, but the barn hasn't had much success with this angle. Best advice – proceed with caution. We could very well be looking at a double carryover on Friday.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The 40-year police veteran known as Cleveland's "Supercop" retired last year but has returned to work patrolling a community of about 400 people.
Sixty-four-year-old James Simone (seh-MOH'-nee) now patrols Grand River, a low-key Lake County community where he says people wave with all five fingers.
Simone developed a tough-cop reputation during a career in which he killed five suspects, all ruled justifiable. He's been shot multiple times.
He tells The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/Mim7rz) that he has a "ATM" policy with suspects: "Ask them. Tell them. Make them."
His critics questioned whether some of his shootings could have been avoided.
Simone has arrested three people since going to work part-time in Grand River last August. He used to arrest that many people on a busy day in Cleveland.

FGCU Softball's Top 10 Moments: No. 5 First Playoff Win Against North Alabama
FORT MYERS, Fla. – With the start of the 2012 softball season fast approaching, FGCU softball is celebrating its 10th season of competition by counting down the Top 10 Moments in FGCU softball history.
The Eagles competed at the Division II level for their first five seasons, qualified for the postseason in two of their three eligible seasons, transitioned to Division I, joined the Atlantic Sun Conference, produced three Conference Players of the Year and three All-Americans, and won 382 games. After poring over more than 500 games of history, a panel selected the most significant events and will release one each day leading up to the first pitch of the 2012 season.
Next on the countdown at No. 5 - "The 2006 First playoff win against North Alabama" (May 11, 2006)
FGCU barely failed to qualify for the playoffs in their first attempt the year before. This time around, the Eagles left no doubt with a team record 35-game winning streak and a 57-7 regular season record that garnered them a berth to the postseason tournament. A month earlier on April 17th, the Eagles epic winning streak was broken after a 1-0 loss in the first game of the doubleheader on the road against Barry University. More notably, their mettle would be tested as FGCU's leading hitter and run-producer, junior Jessica Rouse, broke her wrist in pre-game defensive drills.
"Even before Jessica's hand injury, I knew she was a tough and hard-working person," said Eagles' athletic trainer Betsy Kennedy (Esposito). "When J. Ro broke her hand she was really upset. It wasn't an injury she could play through so she missed contributing to the team." The injury to Rouse was originally diagnosed as season-ending and the Eagles felt the immediate effects of not having her 18 homers in the lineup. They went 5-3 in their final regular season games which dropped them to a No. 5 seed. Thus the Eagles' first playoff game ever would be an opening round matchup with No. 4 seed North Alabama.
"In the weeks of healing after the injury, Jessica kept asking what else she could do for her hand," added Kennedy. "Unfortunately, there's not too much that can be done to speed up bone healing, but she was willing to try anything. I gave her a special nutrition guide to make sure she was getting all the essential nutrients and avoiding things that may delay healing. She took a calcium supplement and was so determined to get back for the playoffs."
Miraculously, Rouse was cleared to compete in the playoffs (three weeks ahead of schedule) and her presence paid immediate dividends in the FGCU first inning--she walked and scored on junior designated hitter Hilary Johnson's RBI double. Rouse would get on base again two innings later with a single to left field and would score ahead of freshman third baseman Cheyenne Jenks' seventh home run of the season. Junior first baseman Natasha Johnson would make it a 4-0 game when she hit her sixth homer of the season. Rouse capped the scoring when she hit a double down the right field line and scored when the right fielder threw the ball away trying to get her out at second base.
"Rouse was very patient and took great care of her body," said Kennedy. "It was a lot of fun to see her play in the postseason because she really deserved that opportunity after all the work she put in."
Sophomore Rachael Edinger was brilliant in the circle as she allowed three hits and one earned run while striking out three Lion hitters. The Eagles' all-time wins leader threw her 25th complete game of the season and earned her 26th victory of the season.
FGCU's 5-1 playoff win over the Lions capped a historic season in 2006. Their fourth consecutive winning season saw a record number of wins and still record winning streak. They also had their most productive season to date setting records for batting average, runs scored, and home runs in a season.
"We lost our entire pitching staff and many of our starters after the 2005 season," said head coach David Deiros. "It usually takes time for a new team to perform so well but this was a resilient group from the very beginning. They were the stepping stone for a remarkable four-year run in which we won 215 games."
FGCU opens its 10th season for the fifth consecutive year at the USF Tournament where they will face the tournament host and No. 2 University of Florida on Friday, Feb. 10th.
The Eagles will unveil one moment per day for 10 consecutive days, and culminating with the No. 1 moment on Feb. 10th to coincide with the start of the season. You will be able to relive all the events at www.fgcuathletics.com/softball.
No. 10 – Comeback victory vs. UNF in extra innings in 2004
No. 9 – Walk-off win against #17 Valdosta State in 2007
No. 8 – Upset win vs. #13 DePaul in 2009
No. 7 - Seven Home Runs against Northwood in one inning in 2007
No. 6 – First Win in Program History against Fla. Southern in 2003
No. 5 – First playoff win against North Alabama in 2006

Last weekend we were invited to a soiree at the prime minister's summer residence. Okay, that sounded a little snooty.
We weren't actually invited by the current prime minister, and the residence, at Riviere du Loup, 200 km east of Quebec City, belonged to a prime minister — Canada's first, Sir John A. Macdonald — who last stayed there in 1890, the year before his death.
It also wasn't a "soiree," but an afternoon birthday gathering for an old friend. It was a completely booze-free occasion, which might not have pleased Sir John, an extraordinary politician but a notorious drunk.
I couldn't help thinking as I tested the solidity of the thigh-high rail rimming the open gallery with its soul-stirring view of the St. Lawrence River, if a tipsy Sir John had ever taken a tumble.
The founding father of Canada started summering in what was then called St. Patrick in 1871. There are several theories why he chose this particular spot, seeing that it's a long train ride from the nation's capital of Ottawa and the bustling cities of Montreal and Quebec. One story says Sir John was seeking a healthful climate and discreet getaway for his brain-damaged daughter.
Regardless, Sir John rented a modest farm property to begin with, but in 1882 upgraded to the spacious manor-like residence, which he named Les Rochers, to reflect the craggy bluffs on which seaside houses were built in the area.
But it was the original farmhouse that was the scene of what I like to call (and indeed wrote a 2007 magazine article about) Sir John's "lost weekend."
To make a long and mind-bendingly complex story short, what happened was Sir John, according to several reports, disappeared for a period of about three days in August 1873.
