With the amount of talent Bama has seen along the defensive line, rising sophomore A'Shawn Robinson may its most talented...come see why!
Since it's a small Texas class, and in honor of ever-advancing political correctness, everyone gets a trophy! Not really, but many of the prospects in the class did receive a coveted GoBR.
Looking back on the Signing Day that was for the Texas Longhorns, who signed their smallest class since 2005 and suffered a record number of decommitments, which ended up defining the group.
The Texas Longhorns weren't able to find a defensive end or defensive tackle in the 2013 class, but made some moves on National Signing Day to help depth at those positions.
The Texas Longhorns only signed five defensive players in the 2013 recruiting class. Find out what the 'Horns will be getting.
Five-star defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson withdrew his commitment to Texas earlier in the week, but chose Alabama over USC Wednedsay morning.
The Texas Longhorns won't sign a true defensive lineman in the 2013 class after missing on Waco defensive tackle Andrew Billings on Tuesday. What does that mean for the 'Horns moving forward?
A quick update the day before National Signing Day.
Last spring, the Longhorns were assembling a Dream Team. Then 20% of the class decommitted, including two five-star prospects, leaving some massive, and defining, holes in the class.
With some late losses, the Longhorns look like they will be edged out by the rival Sooners for the top class in the conference.

Local History Booksby Various Authors
Springfield, now the third-largest city in the state, was once an area favored by Native Americans for its natural beauty, mild climate, abundant timber, and excellent hunting and fishing. Founded by John Polk Campbell in 1829, the settlement grew steadily, thanks to its civic-minded residents. In 1926, the city became the birthplace of the Mother Road, Route 66, which firmly established Springfield's right to the name "Queen City of the Ozarks."
Be sure to check out the "Images of America" series with books covering the history of Nixa, Ozark, Marshfield, Route 66, and many other local history topics. We have these and other series, including the "Wicked" series covering the seedier side of cities like Springfield, Joplin, and St. Louis.

Harry Potter, the children's fictionNews
Harry Potter, the children's fiction hero, and Bob the Builder, the cartoon character, on Tuesday shared top billing for helping Lego, a Danish toymaker, rebound into profitability in 2001 from the heavy losses it suffered the previous year.
A workman was rescued by emergency crews yesterday after becoming trapped under a JCB in an accident in the garden of the writer JK Rowling's Edinburgh home.
Fairy tales and magic triumphed in The Dallas Morning News' fourth annual Kids Movie Awards, as 1,004 kids crowned Shrek their favorite animated movie and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone their favorite live-action film of 2001. (Registration is required to view the whole article, so here's some relevant quotage):
[One] element that kids responded to is the pervasive joy in this crop of films. Last year ... children's films bubbled over with imaginative premises about other worlds. Harry Potter creates a place where wizards and witches have their own schools, shops, newspapers and customs, creating an almost Clark Kent-ish double life for Harry - a nobody in the muggle world and a hero in the magical one.
"Shrek, Monsters, Inc., Jimmy Neutron and Harry Potter thrive on the imagination, and I think that's been missing from kids films for a long time," Dr. Shepherd-Look [professor of psychology at California State University, Northridge] says. And that's increasingly important in a world where a lot of kids are dealing with trauma or learning difficulties, she notes. "Imagination is useful for comprehension or retention or for a place to escape when you need to soothe yourself. It's a valuable thing for the human spirit, and it can be lots of fun."
Mark Lee, 8, of Plano liked what Harry Potter had to say about family. Sure, he loved the magic, the excitement and the special effects. But what really got to him was the message about the love Harry's parents had for him and how it continued to protect their son even after their death. "I learned that it's love that is the most important thing," he says.

Broncos' QB situation remains in question

Gear for Hookups, Not Headaches
Dropping a bait into 1,500 or so feet of water with conventional sport-fishing gear is no casual undertaking. Use the wrong tackle or rig up improperly, and it can quickly become a headache at best or a recipe for disaster at worst. Some key ingredients to a better recipe, per the sort of gear that the Stanczyks now use:
80-wide two-speed reels
Heavy rods appropriate to reels and line
80-pound braid
Eighty-pound braid, says Nick, is ideal (they use Western Filament TufLine). While 100-pound or more works, its greater diameter adds noticeable resistance to getting down and may well overtest the 130-pound mark, in the event a possible record comes up, whereas 80-pound probably won't. Fifty-pound can work but may prove a bit light.
130-pound (for IGFA-legal rod) or 300-pound mono wind-on leader
15-pound breakaway concrete weights
The Stanczyks make these from quick-set concrete poured into 6-inch PVC-pipe sections. The pieces of pipe are cut vertically to become a reusable PVC mold. Nick uses hose clamps to hold the two halves tightly together while the concrete cures. Losing these weights is not only a much less drastic hit on the wallet than losing big lead weights, but it's less environmentally hostile. Their shape also has importance - broad, flat tops help them resist rising with the pull of the line.
Deep-Drop lights
For light (and deep-drop lights are crucial), the Stanczyks rely on Lindgren-Pitman Electralumes (www.lindgren-pitman.com).
Reel Crankie
Knowing the drill takes on a whole new meaning when you need to wind up to move or check a bait. That's when an electric reel would indeed be handy. And that's when the Stanczyks engage an ingenious line-winding tool known as a Reel Crankie (www.innovativefishingtackle.com) for a turbo boost to bring the rig up in a hurry. The tool simply attaches instantly to a reel's side plate and uses a battery-powered drill (after the breakaway lead has in fact broken away!) to do the dirty work.
Using the right bait is critical, says Richard. "When you're letting that bait out 2,000 to 3,000 feet, it's not a deal where you can just say, hey, let's check that bait again!" Generally, he prefers dead whole or cut bait, which is easier to come by than liveys and can be rigged to stay on the hook better. Richard insists that fishes of the open ocean, like tunas, mackerel and dolphin, make the best baits because they smell and taste "right."

- Starring: Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, Ray Stevenson
- Summary: In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive--and continue. Eli must keep moving to fulfill his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity. Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie. (Warner Bros.)… Expand

The film looks and feels good, and Washington's performance is the more uncanny the more we think back over it. The ending is "flawed," as we critics like to say, but it's so magnificently, shamelessly, implausibly flawed that (a) it breaks apart from the movie and has a life of its own, or (b) at least it avoids being predictable.
Washington is surprisingly persuasive as a world-weary blade-wielder, and Oldman makes the most of a not particularly interesting villain. But the film's breakout star may be Kunis, who brings to Solara a blend of sassiness and sexiness that's reminiscent of Michelle Pfeiffer.
The sepia-toned palette gets a little wearying, but the dialogue is hilarious, the violence is crunchy, and cameos by Tom Waits and topflight Brit character actor Michael Gambon are worth the ticket price alone.
Starts out strong and boasts a convincing picture of the post-war world as an anarchic desert. But it comes to ditch its fun stylization for vague themes of religiosity and morality, leaving you with a disappointingly muddled movie.
The Book of Eli's plastic parable isn't much more advanced than "Insane Clown Posse" theology.
The Book of Eli combines the maximum in hollow piety with remorseless violence. [18 Jan. 2010, p.82]

Apr 26, 2011This movie is a Christian movie... I watched the trailers and everything and I thought it wouldn't be like that. This movie is great it combines a good message along with action, miniguns, and cannibals. If you are another religion then you might get mad at it because in a way it is false advertisement, however if you are Christian you will love this movie.… Expand
Dec 18, 2010A great movie, i really didnt know what to exspect going to see it maybe thats why it was so good. acting was grea. the actors explained the plot well and the fight scenes pretty good to. most of the movie kepps you on the edge you really dont know what will happen next. In the end this movie is worth your time and you wont waste your money.… Expand
Aug 19, 2010I went into this film expecting very little. I love end-of-the-world scenarios (One of my favorites: The Quiet Earth. Least Favorite? I Am Legend or The Postman... Take your pick.) and had recently been slightly bored by "The Road"... This movie surprised me. I expected heavy religious overtones, and while there are some(duh), they don't ruin the film by getting too preachy. The action sequences are well done and often quite brutal. Worth checking out.… Expand
Feb 23, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decent post-apocalyptic movie. Washington's acting is good, Gary Oldman is so-so as villain (I consider him a real chameleon actor, who can play brilliant villains, but here the character He portrays is somewhat weak). The twist of the movie is totally unrealistic (Yeah I get it, but anyway it is very unrealistic). Overall it worth a look, but that all. Ps: I do not like how American centric the movie was. I am sure there are a lot more Bibles in Europe, that survived, so Eli hardly saved the last remaining one (It might be the last one there, but the world is a lot bigger place than that.),… Expand
Oct 9, 2011We have seen many Post Apocalyptic movies and video games now and this movie doesnt do much new that hasnt been done before. If the characters were compelling the movie could still work but its all just standard, the overall quest of the movie was nothing to get excited about. Many of the out comes of its scenes were predictable as soon as they started and the overall 'twist' of the movie was a let down. The movie is watchable of course, and its not too bad but not too good or original either.… Expand
Jul 21, 2011Why does everyone in this movie speak in an ADD?ADHD manner ? And walks like in one of those early Charly Chaplin movies ?

It sometimes feels that although we work in a time of digital data overload, when every little thing we do can be tracked, measured and evaluated, print publications are very much the poor relations when it comes to measurement.
After all, if we don't have dwell time statistics, click-through data or real-time sales funnels, how can possibly know if our print content is effective?
The answer is that the principles of good measurement can always be applied, regardless of channel, and there are plenty of ways to use these to show whether your content is successful or not. Here are 5 essential ways to find out if your magazine is worth doing:
1. Be clear about what your content is aiming to do
As a starter, make sure that your magazine has some kind of objective against which it can be measured, such as an increase in the sales of widgets, a revenue target for ad sales or perhaps reader perception of certain brand values. Only by being able to measure yourself against set objectives will you ultimately know if your magazine is successful.
2. Choose the right tools
Once you know what objectives you're dealing with you can select the most appropriate methodology. Generally the methodology you choose will either be a survey or some kind of behavioural data.
Quantitative reader surveys are the traditional tool of the publisher, and in the last few years online surveys in particular have made it quick and simple to gather a lot of data. Of course, it's not just about which tools you use but how you use them. Questionnaires still need to be written well and data samples need to be the right size and composition.
3. Use a control
For brands, though, knowing what your readers think of your content usually isn't enough. The key insight is whether the reader is a better customer (e.g. buys more from you, loves you more etc) than any other kind of customer. This kind of comparison is valuable but requires some form of control group, which tends to make surveys of this kind more complex and expensive to set up.
Although many clients prefer quantitative reader surveys, as they deliver the numbers that are easy to track against targets, don't forget that qualitative surveys – focus groups or depth interviews for example – are just as useful, especially when exploring customers' perceptions of brands or their emotional response to content.
4. Link your content to customer behaviour
Sometimes it is more important to learn about what your readers actually do (ie behavioural data) rather than what they say they do (or think). Response data or sales data are the most useful for this, ranging from competition responses to scans of coupon barcodes. Sometimes it's even possible to match reader databases against sales data, test drives, brochure requests or other actions, but it's difficult to isolate the magazine effect from other noise surrounding the brand – and that's when you need to call for your tame econometrician, but that is a probably a topic for a separate blog.
5. Start early, plan strategically
There's no shortage of measures, or measurement techniques, or research agencies, with which to gauge the success of your magazine. And it's cheaper, easier and quicker than ever to conduct research. By the same token, it is easier than ever before to get things wrong (more cheaply, more easily and more quickly).
The most important part of measuring your magazine is done way in advance of the actual issue that is measured or the fieldwork: it's the thinking. Be very clear about what you want to measure, why, and what you hope to do with the results – do that and you will be well on your way to having robust and meaningful measurement, and knowing if your magazine is a success.

Food portions seemed a little smaller on this cruise, so we usually ordered more than one main course at dinner. Lines at the buffet and other food lines are a bit of an issue on the Conquest, as the ship allows for more people than other ships in similar size.
Rooms: We picked a balcony for the first time in our 5 cruises and I loved it. My husband doesn't seem to feel it was worth the extra $1,000; but it was pretty neat. We ordered room service almost every morning and were able to enjoy breakfast on the balcony. Room service has a very limited menu, but enough to get you going. The room was very clean, but I always take my can of Lysol and Clorox wipes to get the extra germs out.
Conquest staff were all very nice and helpful. It is fun to learn where they are all from.

Stationary bike workouts are usually effective for improving ones fitness and cycling performance. This is because you can easily set resistance levels, track your cycling speed and also the time you spend riding. These options can help you to track your performance and hence help you to improve your fitness gradually. When you want to improve your cycling speed, appropriate exercise bike workouts can help you to improve your cycling speed. In this article, you will learn about an exercise bike workout that will help you to improve your cycling speed.
In this stationary bike workout, you need to work your legs' muscles strength so as to be able to pedal very fast. Here are the steps of this exercise bike workout;
1. Set the resistance level of your stationary bike to a relatively high resistance level.
This must be a level that will give your leg muscles a good level of resistance, but make sure that it is not too difficult to pedal.
2. At this relatively high resistance level, pedal as fast you can consistently for 20 seconds.
Check your timer to ensure this. After pedaling very fast for 20 seconds, pedal slowly for 10 seconds so as to catch your breath and to let your body recover.
3. Repeat this cycling exercise 8 times.
You should do this while watching your timer to ensure that you do regular time intervals.
4. Finally, repeat this exercise daily or do it every 2 – 3 days,
If you have the stationary bike at home, you can do this stationary bike workout everyday when you have the time.
As you get used to pedaling at the high resistance level that you set, you should increase the resistance level a notch higher. Increasing the resistance level will help you to work your muscles more and hence improve your cycling speed further.
Remember that doing this exercise bike workout consistently will help you to improve your cycling speed gradually. Be consistent and you will see results soon enough.

For The Herald Bulletin
PENDLETON, Ind. —
Jacob Brown was 7 years old when his grandfather taught him to play "Jesus Loves Me" on the guitar. Since then, the Pendleton Heights senior has become an accomplished singer, songwriter and musician.
On Friday, Brown will perform selections from his recently released album, "Let Love Speak," at Falls Park in Pendleton. The concert begins at 7:15 p.m. with singer Emily Oliver billed as the opening act.
With the $10 entrance fee concert-goers will receive a copy of Brown's disc. The 18-year-old musician recorded the album in January at Quad Studios in Nashville, Tenn.
"It was an eye opening experience," Brown said. "Working with the amazing musicians that I did helped me to grow as a musician. The whole process of recording taught me a lot about how the music industry works today."
Brown now joins the ranks of legendary acts Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Journey who have worked with Quad Studios.
"It is a dream come true to think that such great talents have recorded in the same studio," he added.
Brown said that lyrics and music of the songs from "Let Love Speak" were highly influenced by his interest in pop, rock, and country music. With a "sky is the limit" approach, Brown used electric guitars, full drums, bass, and keyboards on the album. On one song, he threw in a dub step breakdown, which is a type of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the late 1990s.
"I aimed at creating an album that had a new sound and would please those of all ages and of all music preferences,"Brown said.
While a student at Pendleton Heights High School, Brown has been a member of the National Honor Society and the National Beta Club and served as Student Council vice-president and Senior Class vice-president.
After graduating from Pendleton Heights this spring, Brown will attend Ball State University where he will major in Business and seek a minor in Music Production and Engineering.
At this year's commencement, Brown will perform "Your Story" from his album. Pendleton Heights High School Theatre Director Jacque Brown has worked with Brown in the past and believes that he has the talent to succeed in music.
"My theater production class decided a few years ago to host and promote a concert for Jacob," Brown said. "As part of the class he performed five songs that we recorded. The class created a CD that was sold at the concert.
"The profits were split to pay our costs and to benefit a missionary-type project that Jacob felt strongly about. Jacob has a nice, smooth and pleasant delivery style enhanced by his creative music choices. Musically, Jacob is very talented and I think he could have a great future in the music business."
When not writing and performing his own material, Brown enjoys listening to Bon Jovi, Brad Paisley, and John Mayer. Unlike some of his classmates, Brown is cool enough to have songs by Justin Beiber on his Ipod. His instrument of choice is a Gibson Les Paul guitar and he gives lessons to those yearning to play.
"I have found music to be one of the more important aspects of my life," he said. "Music is often my getaway where I can just relax and enjoy myself.
"I do not underestimate the importance of music to younger children. I have taught lessons for a couple of years now and have found that whether a child sticks to it and finds that it could be a serious path for them or not so much, they still have come away with a great lesson and learned more about themselves as a person."
Though Brown will be promoting his album at Friday's concert, he is seizing the opportunity to help the less fortunate. Brown is asking those attending his concert to donate newly packaged underwear, socks or other clothing items to Outfitters, a Pendleton-based organization that benefits needy children in the South Madison area.
"I have always wanted to do my part to help the community and those less fortunate," Brown said. "When I was planning the album release concert, I found that it was the perfect opportunity to do so. By teaming with Outfitters, I know that my town will benefit and it is important to me that the local area is served."

Argentina formally complains to WTO on EU biodiesel import trade
In Switzerland, Argentina has formally complained to the WTO about Europe allegedly blocking imports of its biodiesel. The country's foreign minister claims that the move by Spain to block imports is in retaliation for Argentina nationalizing the local arm of YPF Repsol last year, claiming that a double standard exists between developed and developing countries in terms of trade..

Todd Aaron, president of the Bulldog Youth Athletics Association, approached the council with information and updates about some of the ballfields in the community.
"We have been doing some cleanup over at the park down here at the little league. We have painted the bleachers, cut down some tree limbs, fixed the netting up, took everything out of the concession stands [and] painted the walls white in there," Aaron said. "I sent some guys out to the double fields to take down some power poles because they were condemned by Alabama Power."
Mayor Pro Tem James "Jimbo" Bray, Jr. said he also asked an employee from the power company to check on the poles two weeks ago.
"He went around those posts, checking them and until he can get a bucket out there to check the tops of them, he said the bottoms of them are solid enough to last for a while. From where those were cut down, me and Mr. [Mark] Chambers saw that right in the middle of them there was a strip in both of them that was rotted, and the outside edges were good, but the power guy told me he didn't really know until they got up there in the bucket truck and checked," Bray said. "He said they make patch mix to put in those holes and then wrap them up with wire. ... There isn't but one [truck] in the state of Alabama that'll reach 90 foot; they were going to bring it out as soon as they could, but after seeing that the other day we decided we were going to take all those poles down."
Due to the poor conditions of the power poles, Aaron said Alabama Power would not turn the lights on at the ballfields. He also said that the association is running out of venues for kids to practice at, mentioning that two teams are having to practice in the neighboring town of Kansas. Currently, there are a total of eight teams.
Another concerned parent and coach, Darrel Pate, said numbers are down from last year's total of 150 little league players.
"The fields that you're talking about now, the two softball fields, those fields are 34 years old. I understand that four or five years ago the president of the youth athletic association took us out from under the umbrella of the city, took our organization away from the city," Pate said. "... We have got to work something out so that we can be under the umbrella of the city so that we can get those grants for the kids, not for me, not for you, not for anybody else but for those kids.
"We have 111 kids this year. Last year we had 150 kids. Forty of them went somewhere," he continued. "Forty of them went to play somewhere different. I just need the city to say, 'Hey, they're eligible for grants, and here's the grants.' We need to be sending these grants to get these parks done."
The question was asked from a member in the crowd about possibly reinstating the parks and recreation board. The council responded quickly by making a motion and approving it unanimously to reestablish the board. Applications are now available for parks and recreation board positions. Aaron and Pate asked if those applying for positions on the board had to live within the city limits. Bray, council member Terry Mason and other members said they would check into it.
In other business, council members:
•heard from the different department heads. Police chief Ron Colburn informed the council that had the alarm company contacted the police department first instead of the "keyholder" during the recent burglary at Strickland's Pharmacy, "we would've had him," Colburn said. He also mentioned a break-in at Club Pizza in January.
•approved to transfer money from the city's alcohol fund to pay a balance of $5,200 for voting machine software. Bray said the balance was held over from the previous city council but that they now have the monies to pay it.
•heard from utilities board member Bill Hurst about 4th Ave. NE.
"Last year, I had a lot of parents who wanted to go out there because they couldn't get up that street by the junk yard because of the vehicles parked on the side of the road," Hurst said.
"We're fixing to open that road back up. We're going to take that gate down because it's dangerous coming out onto that road to begin with," Bray said.
Nick Keeton, owner of Poor Boy Towing, interjected by saying, "If you don't mind, that gate was put there because, I'm part owner of the junk yard, the city would not let us bring 18-wheelers down Widows Lane. We wanted a road built at the top of the softball fields, and they [a previous mayor and council] said if you can build us a road, you can use it. We paid for the gate, we paid for the fence, we paid for the rock and we put the culvert in. That was done by Poor Boy."
Bray said 9th Street, the road they are planning to open up again, was closed for quite some time. Keeton said that opening that road will allow more opportunities for criminals to steal from his business. Bray said it's too dangerous for people to be coming out from the top side and it allows for better access to the ballfields.
District 2 council member Jack Dunn asked the council to increase police patrol around the area of Keeton's business if they plan to open the road again.
•approved District 5 council member James Pendley's resignation from the council due to health problems. The city will be accepting applications for the open seat from now until the Friday before the next council meeting.
•Council member Mark Chambers made a motion to return the street department's clothing allowance of $10 a week for their uniforms. All members voted to pass the motion.
•Carbon Hill resident Mendi Prather asked the council if they would consider turning the old tennis courts into a parking lot for extra parking where people wouldn't have to walk to the park and ballfields from the American Legion Post a few blocks away. The council agreed to remove the fence from the tennis courts and create a parking lot. Prather said the youth athletic association also will be having another cleanup day starting at 8 a.m. Saturday to spruce up the ballfields and any help would be appreciated.
• Bray announced a special meeting where employees of AT&T will visit the city today at 6 p.m. The meeting is open to the public and will address information about the company's future plans. They will be taking questions from the public and may also give new information to the city that could bring more exposure to the small town.
Mason said food will be available for those who choose to attend.

After her son was killed in August, a Collier County woman sat down with us to explain why she believes a love triangle was the motive for murder.
For Linda Torres, the pain will never end.
"It will never be over. I will never get my son back," she said.
But she's closer to a sense of peace now that the man she believes killed her son is facing a murder charge.
"At least I got some justice out of it because he needs to suffer for what he did - coming up to my house, shooting my son through the window while he was sleeping," she said. "It's just horrible. It's horrible for what I had to deal with and I don't have a child now."
Linda's only son - 25-year-old Ernie Torres - was shot to death through his bedroom window in Golden Gate last August.
"I just held him and tried to put his face back together until 911 came and I couldn't save him, I gave him mouth to mouth and I couldn't save him," she said.
Linda says at that moment, she knew who killed her son. She claims Ernie and 23-year-old Abraham Eckman had been fighting over a woman - the mother of Eckman's child.
"He had threatened my son before. He threw a rock through the window - threatening him, screaming at him," Linda said.
She says she believes the love triangle led to a life lost.
"We miss him so much and I can't believe this happened over a girl," she said.
A judge set no bond for Eckman in court Friday - citing strong evidence against him for the charge of second degree murder.
"The defendant had gunshot residue on his hand, shirt and jeans. In addition to that, he was in possession of - or owned - the same type of weapon used in the crime," the judge said.
"He deserves to pay for what he did," Linda said. "Hopefully he'll never see the streets again."
Deputies arrested Eckman yesterday in the Naples Jail. He's been there since early August on a different charge.
He faces life in prison if convicted.

CAMDEN-WYOMING, Del. - After nearly four hours of apparently locking himself in his home, a barricade subject is now in Police custody. Delaware State Police say the 31-year-old man willingly exited the Wynsome Boulevard home, without incident, around 4:20 PM on Thursday afternoon.
According to the report, officials went to the house after getting calls about an armed man threatening to hurt himself, but when police arrived on scene, he fled into the house and barricaded himself inside.
The Delaware State Police Special Operations Response Team and Conflict Management Team was able to make contact with him, and eventually convinced him to surrender.
A spokesman for State Police says the incident was not the result of a domestic dispute, and no one else was in the home with the man at the time.
The peaceful ending, to the barricade is an outcome authorities work towards:
"We'll use all means that we can to avoid that by establishing good communications, good report with the subject inside and try to negotiate a peaceful surrender."
WMDT asked if the suspect had any prior history of mental illness, but police said they didn't have that information.
The man was taken to kent general hospital for evaluation, and residents were safe to return to their homes on Wynsome Boulevard.

Dozens of Atlanta families who have lost a loved one in the military since September 11 are on their way to Texas for an all-expenses paid trip, thanks to American Airlines. It's all part of an annual event known as Snowball Express. In all, about 60 children and adults at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport were part of Friday's big sendoff party, and the smiles on the faces of kids there were priceless. They met Santa, and enjoyed arts, crafts, food and even face painting. The event involves a total of about 1,700 children and spouses of fallen U.S. military members each year. This is the seventh year the event has been held. During the four-day trip to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the families will take part in the Dallas Children's Parade, visit the Fort Worth Stockyards and Billy Bob's, and pay a visit to Six Flags.

text: Brooklyn's multicoloured light show water tower Culture 15 June 12 by Liat Clark Tweet Water TowerWired UK A Brooklyn artist has added a striking multicolored water tower made from 1,000 pieces of reclaimed Plexiglas to his neighbourhood's skyline. The 7.6-metre-high steel-framed tower is part of artist Tom Fruin's "Icon" collection, a series of sculptures that celebrate architectural gems in city's around the world, including a similarly colourful rendering of the Obelisco in Buenos Aires. For his hometown, Fruin told Wired.co.uk he went with a structure that is, "everywhere and beautiful and silently overlooked"."I'm from LA, which is known for its murals," Fruin said. "I always used to judge a mural: is the wall better with the painting, or would it be better as a wall? I added to the skyline and hope that it is an improvement."It's impossible not to be drawn to the Watertower, which is located on the roof of Fruin's Jay Street studio in Brooklyn's Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) district. The view from a train crossing the East River might be iconic, but it now has the added-benefit of a neon tower that runs a psychedelic light show every night."I wanted it to be viewable by the largest possible audience, and this location is ideal: it is seen by three bridges, parks in Brooklyn, and lower Manhattan."The "Icon" series is a graduation from Fruin's past exhibits, a collection of "urban quilts and flags" made from a patchwork of discarded materials found in New York streets -- namely neon-coloured marijuana, heroin and cocaine drugs bags."Gradually, my drugbag quilts got larger and larger to the point where I wanted to get architectural," he said. "I used similar processes of finding and salvaging plastic. By using only available material, I was able to keep the colours true to my surroundings. In other words, since the Plexi were largely cast-offs from sign shops, I was only using colours that appear in the signs of my neighbourhood.""Reclaimed materials are free and bountiful. It is easy to take risks with free material that is in endless supply. It also has a story and a significance: the history improves and complicates the work."Fruin scavenged his neighbourhood, claiming half from the floors of Chinatown sign shops."The best plexi is polychromatic stuff that I retrieved from the old art studio of Dennis Oppenheim, who used to work in my neighbourhood."Fruin started off with sketches of the design he envisioned, but had to hunt someone down on Craigslist to help turn these into computer-aided designs, from which the steel was then cut. The steel was welded into 100 panels, each with multiple windows. Two thousand steel rods, which would secure the Plexiglas panels, were then welded onto the interior. The entire thing was powder coated ("they blast the whole surface so they get this super-polished finished") before the Plexiglas scraps were cut to fit and secured into the windows. The last step was to bolt the 100 completed panels together, staggering them like bricks "to make some of the structure disappear", before mounting the entire structure on a series of 4.5-metre beams high up on the roof.During the day, the light infiltrates the piece, passing through and bouncing reflections off the internal panels. When dusk begins to creep in each day, around 7pm, the Watertower comes to life again like a beacon for Brooklyn, striking out among all the washed-out, dirty-yellow streetlights.Standard light sequences did not run for long enough -- Fruin wanted the piece to run until daybreak -- so he turned to programmer Ryan Holsopple."Ryan programmed an Arduino [open-source electronics prototyping platform] to tell the dimmers what to do based on an hourly cycle with a lithium clock," explained Fruin. "The entire system turns on by household timers. The program is basically the same each hour, but midnight has a special show. All the hardware is housed in a waterproof tool box inside the sculpture."The finished piece, which will be a permanent feature of the New York skyline until June 2013, will hopefully spark a few more installations across the world's major cities. Fruin hopes to one day erect a Plexiglas light show version of a Los Angeles freeway billboard in his hometown and, when prompted on what the London skyline might benefit from, Fruin simply said: "I would hope to find an overlooked icon after spending some time in the city." We'd vote for a representation of the Wired.co.uk logo on the office roof.

2013-14 Graduate Fellows
The Cogut Center for the Humanities sponsors academic-year-long Graduate Fellowships each year for Brown graduate students in the humanities. Doctoral students who have advanced to candidacy are eligible and encouraged to apply. Fellowships are not exclusively for students who are completing their dissertations; those who are at earlier stages of research are also eligible.
The 2013-14 Graduate Fellows: Nicolas Bommarito, Meghan Kallman, Sean Keck, and Coleman Nye.
Nicolas Bommarito is a PhD candidate in the Philosophy Department. His interests are primarily in ethics and Buddhist philosophy. His dissertation, "Inner Virtue", provides an account of how various inner states can be morally virtuous independently of any behavior they produce. He argues that mental phenomena like pleasures, emotions, attention, and imagination are central to being a good person because of their intimate relationship with our deepest cares and concerns. In doing so, he draws on a variety of sources including contemporary Anglo-American work, Tibetan and Indian Buddhist texts, and classics from ancient Greece and China. The result is a culturally-informed account of how inner life is central to moral virtue.
Meghan Kallman is a doctoral candidate in the sociology department. Her research looks at the effects of formal organizations on idealism and altruism, blending insights from social movement theory, organizational theory, and international political economy to discover what happens to activists when they become parts of large bureaucratic organizations. Her dissertation, "Bureaucratized morality, institutional durability: organizationally mediated idealism and international relationships in the Peace Corps" uses the Peace Corps to study these questions of public altruism. It investigates the way that volunteers' biographies, identities, and politics are shaped by participation, a well as the ways in which individuals diffuse Peace Corps ideas throughout their lives and professions.
Sean Keck, a PhD candidate in the Department of English, studies the relationship between the temporality of mediated sound, subjectification, and literature. His dissertation, "Reverb: American Literature, Sound, & Body Politics," tracks how American authors working in the period between the invention of the phonograph and the development of digital audio utilize a variety of sonic media forms to reimagine the making of the modern subject. Foundational Marxist theories of subjectification have tended to emphasize the alienation of the subject from the process of his or her own social production. According to Louis Althusser, for example, the modern subject is "always-already" interpellated. Yet ideological apparatuses are themselves always-already mediated. Literary invocations of sonic media forms and practices promise to reimagine the subject as in-process (or re-produced) rather than "always-already"-produced. Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, Gertrude Stein, and Ralph Ellison write sound as a movement or force rather than an object. Using sonic media as models for experimentation, they create networked literary structures that operate across (or under) traditional narrative and representational strategies. In emphasizing sound, they amplify literature as a dynamic network that problematizes static categorizations of race, class, and gender.
Coleman Nye is a PhD candidate in the Department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies. Her research explores the gendered, political, and aesthetic dimensions of biomedical knowledge production in the U.S., with a particular focus on breast cancer genetics. Coleman's dissertation, "Enacting Facts: Theatrical Economies of Genetic Knowledge," locates the BRCA genes, commonly referred to as the "breast cancer genes," as a site from which to theorize speculative modes of knowing and intervening in women's bodies. Since mutations in these genes were linked to significant breast and ovarian cancer risk in the mid-1990's, women who have a genetic risk for cancer have begun "previving" - surviving the disease in advance by removing healthy breasts and ovaries. In short, they are surgically enacting treatment for a disease that is not and may never be empirically present. Rather than a biomedical anomaly, Coleman suggests that this anticipatory practice is indicative of broader transformations in knowledge and action in the historical present, which increasingly render it feasible and necessary to materialize and preempt possibility before the empirical conditions for intervention are present. Following the BRCA genes as they gain texture and meaning across diverse political, legal, social, biomedical, aesthetic, and economic domains of construction and contestation, Coleman develops a theory of theatricality that captures the imaginative, affective, and relational techniques at work within the increasingly speculative machinations of contemporary technoscience.

Golf Range Finder V Golf GPS System
More and more golfers are looking to purchase a Golf GPS or Range Finder and it is a very difficult choice between the two. Both offer very different ways of assisting a Golfer around the golf course by providing them with greater yardage awareness. To help in deciding which would be the best option for you it is worth finding out how both work and the advantages and disadvantages of both. For this comparison I have looked in details at both of the market leaders of Bushnell and Garmin.
Bushnell Range Finders Technology:
All Bushnell use the same eye safe class 1 laser beam, which is of course invisible to the naked eye. The laser beam if bounced off objects in the distance at the press of a button. Once the beam has bounced back to the range finder the built in High Speed Digital Clock measures the time taken for the trip.. The advanced digital technology electronically calculates the exact yardage to within a yard.
The whole process happens in less than a second and almost instantly as soon as the button is pressed the yardage appears. Bushnell have introduced the Pin seeker technology which means even greater accuracy and less miss readings. Early range finders could sometimes miss read the distance because the flag was a less reflective object than say a tree for example. However the Pin seeker technology now ensures that the Range Finders pick up them consistently.
Many of the Bushnell models actually come in both Slope and non Slope versions. Slope technology which is not allowed in tournament use gives the golfer a compensated slope reading, with a compensated swing yardage dependent on the degree of decline or incline. Slope measures slope +/- one degree of angle and compensated range based upon ball trajectory and type of club used.
A 150 yard uphill shot of 6 degrees really plays at 166 yards. Without slope technology the shot would come up 16 yards short.
Advantages of a Laser Range Finder:
- Accuracy: Hugely accurate with Bushnell being accurate to within 1 yard
- Close Up: A laser range finder is like having a pair of binoculars meaning that golfers can see a close up of everything visible in front of them.
- Number of Golf Courses: A range finder isn't limited to certain golf courses, it can be used everywhere
- Ease of Use: There isn't a huge amount of instruction with a range finder you simply point at target and push the button.
- Battery Life: The battery will last for many rounds without being replaced.
Disadvantages of a Laser Range Finder:
- Pin Position: Range finders will give the exact distance to the flag; however they will not offer the yardage to the front middle and rear of the green.
- Incorrect Target: All Bushnell's come with Range Finder Technology; however there is with other units the chance it could pick up the wrong target.
- Visibility: If you are unable to see the target because of an obstruction then it is impossible to get a yardage.
Garmin GPS Technology:
Garmin use the Global Positioning System to accurately display yardage and maps of almost all golf courses. The GPS system is a series of 24 earth orbiting satellites with at least four always being visible ion earth. The Garmin GPS devise locates four of these satellites, works out the distance to each and as a result works out its exact location. The Garmin uses pre-loaded satellite images of the golf courses so that the golfer is able to see the exact location along with obstacles, greens, hole etc.
Advantages of a GPS:
- Visibility: The GPS system will give the yardage even if the target isn't visible. GPS will also include the hazards as well as distance to the green.
- Accuracy: The GPS system will give the front middle and rear of the green. Giving the Golfer greater options for the shot into the green.
- Hole Planner: A GPS will give the golfer a complete look at the hole layout before they tee off. Allowing for greater course management.
Disadvantages of a GPS:
- Distance to the Pin: Some models of the GPS only allow for front, middle and rear of the green meaning exact distance to the pin is a guess.
- Accuracy: GPS are generally very accurate, however not quite as accurate as a laser. Also cloud cover can sometimes be an issue with signal.
- Computer: Although most GPS systems now come with courses pre-loaded many require attachment to a computer for updates. With some units requiring connection to a computer to register.
- Battery Life: The battery will need to be charged after each use
- Learning Curve: The more features means that they do take a certain amount of time to get used to using.
I am sure you will agree that there is a lot to consider when deciding which option to go for; however with that in mind which ever choice you make it will have a real positive outcome on your golf. GPS and Laser units offer a chance to map your way accurately around a golf course without the need to guess the yardage and which club you need to use.

Introducing the 2014 Nike RZN Golf Balls
The 2014 Line up of Nike RZN Golf Balls feature four models at two different price points including the RZN Black, RZN Platinum, RZN White and RZN Red. All utilising Nike latest Speedlock RZN Core which has been designed for better feel, more distance and ultimately a more consistent ball flight.
"We knew we hadn't pulled 100-percent of the energy that we could out of the existing RZN core," says Rock Ishii, Senior Director, Nike Golf Product Development.
"Working in partnership with DuPont we were able to develop a softer and faster RZN material and created the interlocking core design to reduce energy loss at impact. That means more distance, especially with fairway woods, irons and wedges, and softer feel and sound around the greens."
Nike engineers have re-designed the RZN core through tireless R&D painstakingly remodelling the core to produce more ball speed. The designers adapted interlocking geometry, to reduce slippage between the Speedlock RZN Core and the outer layer result in a huge reduction in lost energy. Allowing maximum energy transfer from Core to Coating resulting in maximum ball speed and distance.
The New Nike RZN Golf Ball out performs its predecessor in all areas, with the new Speedlock System giving softer feel, greater spin, increase distance and stability even in cross winds.
McIlroy says he has gained about half of club of distance in his long game, but also explained how the new design has help his short game.
"I'm finding that especially around the greens there is a big difference. The ball feels and sounds a lot softer. And even from inside 50 yards, it felt like the ball was getting a little more grip, a little more spin. My iron shots were great, and wedge shots were great, too."
Nike RZN Black
The New Nike RZN Black Golf Ball is being heralded as the must have golf ball of 2014. A Tour Performance golf ball designed for the Mid-High Ball Speed Golfer. Utilising a 4 Piece Urethane construction designed to deliver maximum distance through faster ball speed. Combined with lower spin the two produce a more penetrating ball flight for ultimate "hang time".

Introducing the New 2014 Nike VRS Covert 2.0 Driver
Nike's New VRS Covert 2.0 Driver is the second generation of Covert Drivers. Nike has opted for the Striking Red Colour on the crown accentuating the clubs good looks. Reengineered to create more distance whilst ensuring minimum dispersion and ultimately resulting in more hit fairways. Testing is showing that it comes with the promise of more distance and forgiveness than its predecessor the Covert. The addition of the Fly-Brace Technology braces the head to maximise the energy transfer between Golf Ball and Club Face. This is one of the key reasons why the VRS Covert 2.0 achieves a greater balls speed and resulting distance.
The Fly-Brace Technology ties the sole of the club to the crown, resulting stiffening of the rear portion of the club and therefore more energy is transferred to the face/ball.
Nike Have also added a NexCore Face which increases the ball speed which combined has added another 6 yards to the previous model and loss of distance is lessened on miss hits. Also featuring the Flex Loft System which allows the golfer to adjust the loft from 8.5 through to 12.5. Importantly the Flex Loft System also allows the independent adjustment of face angle in to 3 different positions. Open, Closed and Neutral ensure that the perfect launch and spin conditions are achieved resulting in maximum distance and accuracy.
Available now at http://www.golfbuyitonline.com/Nike-Golf-VR-S-Covert-2-0-Driver-Mens.php
Featuring a redesigned Mitsubishi Reyon Kuro Kage Black 50 Graphite Shaft. This shaft will ensure that higher swing speed is achieved without the need to lengthen the club, achieved through cleaver use of the Higher Balance Point.
FlyBrace Technology:
Increased Energy Transfer optimises distance and dispersion.
FlexLoft Adjustability:
Simple customisation of loft and face angle.
Enhanced NexCore Face:
Faster Ball Speed resulting in more Distance
The Nike VRS 2.0 Driver makes huge advances on its predecessor by creating huge amounts of forgiveness on off centre hits and increased distance the Spin Reduction. Meaning that even on off centre hits the driver's forgiveness means very minimal yardage loss. Which makes this a Driver suitable for most golfers and certainly for the golfer looking to increase distance while retain distance with less dispersion on off centre hits.
What Nike Say:
"We work very closely with our athletes and the new VRS Covert 2.0 drivers deliver on the shape, stability, and speed they have asked for," Radcliffe says. "The added stability and speed realized by our athletes with VRS Covert 2.0 allows for an aggressive approach off the tee which is essential in the modern game."
Nike Covert 2.0 Tour Driver
The Covert 2.0 Tour Driver has the same NexCore Face with variable face thickness; however the face is 15% larger than its predecessor. This allows for greater ball speed with reduced spin for even more distance. The look and finish of the New Tour Driver is more Pear-Shaped with a deeper back face distinguish it from the non-Tour version.
Nike has opted for the Kuro Kage Silver 60 Graphite with Titanium Nickel Fiber in the Tip Section. This shaft produces exceptional power with reduced spin which will ensure the lower handicapper gains maximum Launch Conditions for the perfect ball flight.

By DAVE MARTIN
MIDDLEBURY — The Town Council approved a motion Monday to authorize Town Council President Gary O'Dell to sign construction and retainage contracts, when finalized, for three proposed sewer projects totaling $13.5 million.
The prior approval will allow construction to begin before the next council meeting.
Fetters Construction Co. Inc. of Auburn will upgrade the town's wastewater treatment plant and sewer lift stations in order to increase Middlebury's treatment plant capacity.
Meanwhile, Selge Construction of Niles will install an interceptor sewer at the popcorn lift station and a forced main from the north lift station to the treatment plant and will upgrade the Spring Valley 2 lift station and lift station telemetry in Middlebury.
Town Manager Mark Salee said two months ago that construction would take about a year-and-a-half on all three projects.
Town Clerk Peggy Hutchison told the council Monday that Middlebury has two years to complete the projects, according to the terms of the state special revenue fund loan that the town has been awarded. Middlebury will pay an interest rate of just 1.5-percent on the loan for the three projects.
A 44 percent across-the-board increase in sewer rates for Middlebury customers has been approved to help repay the $13.5 million bond.
In other business, the council accepted an in lieu of annexation agreement with MYRRH Properties LLC. The company will not remonstrate against annexation in return for the town providing water and sanitary sewer services to the firm, located just south of the town limits.
Council members also approved four job descriptions for the wastewater department. Even though four were approved, Salee said that not all of those positions must be filled. Currently, two employees work full-time in the department, but the council approved funding for three Monday. Therefore, one new "laborer" position will be filled shortly, he said.
Communitywide garage sales will be held in Middlebury May 17 and 18, O'Dell announced.

Apparently the Colorado Rapids weren't planning to lose their rest of their games, after all. Facing their biggest rival, the Rapids finally put an end to their six-match losing streak, topping Real Salt Lake 1-0 on Saturday.
Joseph Nane provided the winning margin, collecting a rebound from a Jaime Castrillon shot and putting it past Nick Rimando in the 38th minute. The win also ended an eight-game winless streak against RSL, who had won the two previous matches earlier this season and had already clinched the Rocky Mountain Cup.
RSL only put one shot on target all match, but it did require Matt Pickens to make a highlight-reel save as he made a diving stop of a Justin Braun header. Pickens picked up his 40th career shutout for the Rapids and his sixth this season.
RSL missed out on a chance pass the San Jose Earthquakes for the Supporters' Shield lead and remain two points behind.

The Indianapolis Colts have added another name to their list of candidates for the head coaching vacancy. Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network said today via Twitter that Brad Childress is also a candidate to replace Jim Caldwell.
Childress joins a list of candidates mostly culled from the ranks of coordinators around the league. The Colts interviewed Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray for a six hours on Friday, according to the same report from LaCanfora. New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael is also in the mix.
Childress is familiar with the Colts. In 1985, he was the team's quarterbacks coach, his first NFL job. Childress is more recently known for his stint from 2006 to 2010 as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. He brought in none other than Brett Favre for his final two seasons in Minnesota.
