Jordan Gross vs. Julius Peppers
This matchup is always intriguing, given the fact that the two played on the same team for most of their careers. Gross and Peppers used to line up every day opposite each other, making each other better. Now, we see Peppers on a team who is in playoff contention, where Gross, who stayed with his team, is looking to the future, a future where he doesn't have many years left in the NFL.
Last week, Gross allowed Demarcus Ware to beat him a few times, causing Cam to get sacked. However, the offensive line as a whole failed last week, as the Panthers offense stumbled. This week, the Panthers offensive line faces the number one rush defense in the league, and one of the better front sevens at that. Gross is going to need to keep Peppers off Cam if we want to see any form of success in the passing game.
Steve Smith vs. Charles Tillman
In recent history, when Steve Smith has a quarterback who can get him the ball, he has torn up the Bears defense. Steve Smith has recorded 34 receptions for 568 yards and two touchdowns in 3 career games vs. the Bears (he played them twice in 2005, once last season. Steve Smith missed the 2008 Chicago game due to suspension and the 2010 game he didn't play in due to injury). However, the passing attack has not clicked as of late, and the number six defense in the league will look to try and stop Smith's streak of dominance against them.
With Beason going on injured reserve this week, Kuechly will step into his natural position for the remainder of the season, and Thomas Davis will take over duties at the Will linebacker spot if he can stay healthy. Kuechly has been "as advertised" thus far after stepping into the Mike linebacker position, racking up 26 total tackles, an interception, and a fumble recovery in two career games at middle linebacker. Kuechly hasn't missed a beat since coming out of college, and it is clear that he will be most effective at this position. The Panthers rush defense has put in their best two performances of the season in the two games Kuechly has played at Mike, holding the Dallas Cowboys to less than 100 yards rushing and holding sure-fire Pro Bowler Marshawn Lynch to 85 yards rushing.
This week, Kuechly faces the always dangerous Matt Forte. Us Panthers fans know what Forte can do all too well, as he has shredded the Panthers rush defense in both games he has played against us. Kuechly will make a lot of tackles this week, but how many yards Forte runs for maybe a different story.
Jonathan Stewart vs. Chicago Front-7
As I said before, Chicago right now has the best statistical rush defense in the entire league. And the Panthers have one of the worst rush offenses. Not a formula for success right?
Well, Jonathan Stewart has been named the starter this week as the Panthers usher in a new era of change. Stewart is the only Panthers RUNNING BACK (Cam is a quarterback, guys) still averaging 4 yards per carry this season. The Panthers rush offense has played much better when Stewart plays/gets touches this year, common sense would dictate that if he becomes more involved, the results will be better. But, he may not have his coming out party this week after having won the starting spot from Williams. This Chicago rush defense can be brutal. But if the Panthers can get the run game established, and pound the running backs between the tackles, we may see some success.

Here's our weekly look at the contributions made by Browns rookies this season:
CB Joe Haden (first round): Haden notched six tackles in Sunday's win at New Orleans, equaling a season high. The former Florida star has 24 tackles and one interception in seven games (one start). He is the Browns' third cornerback. Haden also has added five special-teams tackles.
S T.J. Ward (second round): Ward recorded six tackles (four solo) and defended a pass in the win vs. the Saints. He leads the Browns with 60 tackles. Ward, who played collegiately at Oregon, also has six special-teams tackles and has blocked a field goal. He has started all seven games.
QB Colt McCoy (third round): McCoy earned his first win as an NFL starter in Week Seven, completing 9-of-16 passes for 74 yards with no TDs and no interceptions. He was sacked once.
On Monday, head coach Eric Mangini assessed McCoy's play and outlined how he will go about determining the pecking order at quarterback for the Week Nine game vs. New England after the bye:
"The thing I was most happy with in terms of Colt's play was he improved in some areas and there were some areas that were, it's a work in progress, but he was consistent and he was poised again. I thought he made some really good decisions in terms not taking a sack and throwing the ball out of bounds. Those things are things that I think are positives. With the decision as we get Seneca (Wallace) back, and Jake (Delhomme) back, which we may have a chance for one or both against New England, then I'll just sit down and think about it. I'll talk to (offensive coordinator) Brian (Daboll), I'll talk to (president) Mike (Holmgren), I'll definitely get his input. He's been through these decisions quite a few times. It's got to get to the point where it really is a decision as opposed to where we're at now, where we just got a couple games under our belts."
Delhomme started in Week One and suffered an ankle injury. Wallace started the next four games but suffered an ankle injury of his own in Week Five, and Delhomme was injured further in relief of Wallace. McCoy has started the last two games.
OG Shawn Lauvao (third round): A reserve right guard, Lauvao was active for the first time in Week Seven when starting ORG Floyd Womack moved to right tackle because of injuries. Veteran Billy Yates started in Womack's spot, with Lauvao appearing as a reserve. Lauvao had missed time with an ankle injury earlier in the season.
SS Larry Asante (fifth round): He was waived on Sept. 4 and signed to the Browns' practice squad the next day.
WR Carlton Mitchell (sixth round): Mitchell was active for the first time in Week Seven with WR Mohamed Massaquoi (concussion) inactive. He appeared as a reserve but wasn't targeted in the passing game.
DL Travis Ivey (undrafted free agent): Waived from the roster on Sept. 4 and re-signed to the practice squad Sept. 5.
DL Brian Sanford (undrafted free agent): Like Ivey, he was re-signed to the practice squad Sept. 5 after being waived the previous day.
Notes: RB Montario Hardesty (second round, No. 59) is on injured reserve after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Browns' final preseason game. ... DE Clifton Geathers (sixth round, No. 186) was waived by the Browns on Sept. 4. The Dolphins claimed him on Sept. 5, waived him from their roster on Sept. 14, re-signed him to the practice squad Sept. 15 and waived him from the practice squad Sept. 18. ... WR Johnathan Haggerty (undrafted free agent) was waived/injured on Aug. 16 with a foot injury and is currently on Cleveland's injured-reserve list.

All data is presented in a simple, easy-to-read format so you're not stuck scratching your head at the results.

Note that depending on the storage size of the device and the speed of your computer, extraction time can be as short as 10 minutes and as long as 2 hours.

BrickHouse Xtractr: iPhone
The BrickHouse Xtractr displays data stored to an iPhone's memory. It pulls:
CURRENT SMS (text) history, contacts, call log, calendar, notes, internet data and map history.
DELETED SMS, contacts, call history, calendar entries, and notes IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN OVERWRITTEN.
Just like a computer, when the iPhone deletes data, that information isn't really deleted. The "roadsigns" pointing to a file are removed and the space that file is in is marked by the operating system as available for use. This means that new information can be stored on top of these files.
This recovery process goes through a device's memory and pulls data that has had it's "roadsigns" removed, but if new information has been stored in the same space as a deleted file, it will not be recoverable. It's been overwritten.
When a device saves information, where it chooses to save to is random. It can save to memory that has never been used, or to used data available for overwriting. As an example, when it was run on a phone during testing, it pulled up deleted information over a year old, but not information that had been deleted the week previous.

The death of a Muscle Shoals man Thursday night marked the 24th fire fatality of 2014 in Alabama, according to the state fire marshal. He said that is an unusually high number of fatalities to happen in such a short time.
House fires are more common during the winter months due to dry, windy conditions and the use of alternative heating sources such as space heaters and baseboard heaters. That is proving to be true this winter, comparing the 24 deaths this year to a total of 71 fire deaths in all of 2013 and 78 in 2012.
At least four of the fatal fires this month happened in North Alabama. In addition to Thursday's fatal fire in Muscle Shoals, a man was killed in a mobile home fire in Monrovia at the beginning of January. Another man died in a fire in Franklin County in the middle of the month. Last week a man was killed in a house fire in Owens Cross Roads.
Fire officials said children under the age of nine are at the greatest risk for being killed in a fire because they don't know what to do, but adults are just as much at risk.
"A lot of times, house fires are at night when people are sleeping. If people don't have an active smoke alarm in their house, all of the smoke and toxins and carbon monoxide will get in your system. Basically, you stay asleep, you never wake up," said Captain Frank McKenzie of Huntsville Fire & Rescue.
Firefighters said it is important to install several smoke and carbon monoxide detectors around the house and to have an escape plan. For the benefit of young children, draw out the plan and post it somewhere they are likely to see it, such as a fridge. Designate two escape routes and an outdoor meeting place.
Space heaters need to be kept at a safe distance from all other items because they are high-wattage appliances that can easily ignite nearby objects and cause a major fire. As a general rule, the buffer zone between your space or baseboard heater and other items should be at least three feet. Never place anything on or nearby these heaters, including furniture.
Fire officials also advise to not cover up space heater cords because they can become hot and catch fire. Avoid using extension cords to plug in heaters. Never leave them unattended or powered on while you sleep.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber has ordered flags at all public buildings to be flown at half-staff on Wednesday in honor of a firefighter from Oregon.
24-year-old West Linn High School graduate, John Percin Junior, was one of 19 firefighters who died Sunday while battling the Arizona wildfire.
The governor says Percin gave his life to protect people, property and natural resources, and all Oregonians should take a moment to remember the man's bravery and sacrifice.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis insists the team is committed to signing QB Drew Brees to a long-term contract, he said Friday at an event honoring new inductees into the Saints Hall of Fame.
Loomis also said he harbored no ill will toward Brees in the wake of the franchise quarterback's comments that he felt frustrated by the lack of communication between his representatives and the club.
"I feel like we have a great relationship, and these things sometimes can strain that," Loomis said, according to The Associated Press. "Drew's passionate about being with the Saints, and I respect that a lot. I know that he wants to be here and he's frustrated that he's not with the team, and look, I respect that and respect him a lot for that. If he didn't care, he wouldn't say a word, right?
"These contracts are personal issues for players. I recognize that," Loomis continued. "I don't have any hard feelings or anything about it. Drew wants to get signed, and I respect that."
Saints owner Tom Benson, one of the honorees at the event along with former Saints RB Deuce McAllister, reiterated what Loomis said — that a deal would get done.
"There's money involved, you know, and two people have some difference of opinion, but it's going to be worked out," Benson said, according to the AP. "I assure you that Drew Brees will be playing here, OK?
The Saints placed an exclusive franchise tag on Brees in February, which provides for a guaranteed one-year contract worth $16.371 million unless he and the team are able to reach agreement on a long-term deal before July 16.
"This is important," Loomis added. "It's not just important to Drew, but it's important to our team. The magnitude of this contract is going to impact our team for a long, long period of time. So, we've got to get it right. It's got to be right for Drew, but it's got to be right for our team, as well."

We're dishing on our favorite jet-setting necessities, polish that looks good with any pair of sandals, and plenty of new beauty gadgets that will have you looking gorgeous come Fall. Just keep clicking to find out the best of the best for August. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After the birth of the royal baby, who doesn't have England on the brain? I'm ready to jet off to London in a snap thanks to this handy travel kit from Aesop ($75). Taking the actual weather and air conditions of London into consideration, the kit has travel-sized versions of the brand's classics along with its new mouthwash. And the sleek case is reusable for full-size Aesop products once the vacation is over. Now, when do I get my invite to meet Prince George? — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Fashion and Beauty Director 1 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Granted, I'm a sucker for packaging, but I spent an absurdly long time playing with the Kaplan MD Lip 20 Treatment ($30) when it arrived at my desk. Once I got over how fun the one-piece packaging was to open (check out our video!), I fell in love with the minty, refreshing feeling, sheer color, and built-in SPF. — MLG 2 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The perfect pedicure color can be a challenge — after all, what color looks good with absolutely everything and your skin tone? Enter: Butter London Nail Lacquer in Marbs ($15). The shimmering gold color is neutral without being boring, and the long-wearing polish has already withstood several beach days intact. Did I mention how many compliments I've gotten on it already, and there is still one month of Summer left? — MLG 3 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With notes of sweet vanilla and orange blossom, Ayres Body Polish in Midnight Tango ($25) smells like a grown-up version of the creamsicle, but better. Formulated with ylang-ylang essence and jojoba seed oil, this hydrating exfoliator leaves skin soft and sensually scented. — Jaime Richards, Editor 4 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Make Up For Ever's Smoky Extravagant Mascara ($24) has the mascara trifecta covered with its lengthening, volumizing, and curling properties. The best part is the cone-shaped wand. Use the pointed end to get down to every last lash; roll the wider, rounded portion over longer hairs for a flirty finish. — JR 6 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're looking for a gentle shampoo that smells amazing and smoothes frizz, René Furterer has you covered. The brand's heat-protecting Lissea Shampoo ($28) and Lissea Conditioner ($30) contain a lush blend of bergamot, cardamom, vanilla, sandalwood, and ginger, while alkekengi (aka Chinese lanterns) extract controls unruly strands. — JR 6 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Harry Josh is the man behind the locks of stars like Gisele Bündchen, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Amanda Seyfried, so when he decided to launch his own line of hair tools, I knew it would be something innovative and amazing. His Pro Dryer ($250, originally $300) does not disappoint. The short nozzle means it can blast higher heat and more power than standard dryers. And besides, the minty color will look cute on your bathroom counter. — Kaitlyn Dreyling, Associate Editor 7 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From staring at a computer screen to battling pollution and late nights, my skin can start to look more tired than I really am, which is why I am a new fan of Lancome Energie de Vie Cream ($55). This intense moisturizer infuses skin with root extracts used in traditional Chinese beauty rituals. The result is a healthier, more radiant-looking complexion. — KD 8 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Emmi-dent 6 Ultrasound Toothbrush ($189) zaps bacteria, plaque, and stains without any irritation, all while reducing inflammation and bleeding. Just hold the brush over your teeth, and the ultrasound waves gently vibrate, sending ultrasonic pulses through the bristles. This means a deep-down clean that requires no physical scrubbing (or damage to your enamel). — KD 9 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the Summer, my skin gets dry, but I hate slathering on lotion that leaves me feeling sticky. Vaseline's new Cocoa Radiant Spray & Go Moisturizer ($8) has been a fast favorite since its launch. The balm-like consistency spreads easily on the skin and doesn't leave any oily residue — just a gorgeous sheen. — Kirbie Johnson, Beauty Reporter 11 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'm not a fan of yogurt in general, so I was hesitant to give any of the new Korres products a go. But when there's the sweltering Summer heat to deal with and a product promises long-lasting benefits, I put aside my disdain and ended up loving the brand's new Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer ($30). It's silicone-free, so instead of sitting on top of your skin, this gel-like primer lightly hydrates. Your makeup won't be going anywhere. — KJ 11 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 As much as I slather on SPF 30, nobody's perfect, so sun spots can pop up every now and then. Lightstim For Wrinkles ($249) gives you a high-tech spa treatment in the comfort of your own bathroom. The LED lights penetrate the skin to help restore collagen (which can be broken down by the sun), and also help to eliminate pesky dark spots. Every celebrity esthetician I've worked with swears by light treatments, and this one is worth the beauty investment. — KJ 12 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I must admit that my love of fragrance starts at the bottles. This twisted glass decanter has a kaleidoscopic effect, but that's not the only good thing keeping the Elizabeth Arden Untold Fragrance ($79) on my vanity. The notes of pink pepper, raspberry, gardenia, jasmine, and patchouli make for a floral scent every woman in the family can share. — Jessica Cruel, Assistant Editor 13 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's rare that an at-home treatment lives up to the standards of the professional counterpart (just take nail art as an example). But the Olay Microdermabrasion Kit ($45) is actually better than the original. This brush has warming salt crystals that exfoliate painlessly, and the cleansing brush head comes in the kit. So you get double the uses for a fraction of the cost. — JC 14 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ ($26) has been around for a while (since 1968, actually), and this month it's getting a makeover. Yes, it looks like the same on the outside, but now the classic product has double the hydration and environmental protection. Clinique knows how to keep up with the times. — JC 15 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While the entire Marc Jacobs Color collection is, in a word, awe-inducing, his lip colors really hit the mark. A favorite is the LoveMarc Lip Gel in 124 Surrender Dorothy ($30, available Aug. 9). And the Wizard of Oz reference isn't even our favorite part; buttery-smooth, hydrating, and full of color, this gorgeous red will take you from August through February. — Maria Del Russo, Editorial Assistant 16 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 What's one thing plenty of women want? A better version of their skin. Luckily, It Cosmetics's Your Skin but Better CC+ Cream ($35) delivers just that. SPF 50+ protection mixed in with antiaging serum, primer, and more make this cream a miracle-worker. — MD 17 / 18 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Just because you're traveling doesn't mean you need to let your hair get funky. Sarah Potempa Jet Setter Flat Iron ($99) is cordless, lightweight, and easy for throwing in your purse to touch up those inevitable frizzy strays that happen throughout the day. Plus, it comes with a rechargeable battery, a wall charger, and you can get the car charger, so it will literally always be charged.

Waterloo police say the woman whose body they found in the Cedar River on Tuesday accidentally drowned.
Police were called to the 3900 block of Texas Street, near the Aspro plant, around 2:30 Tuesday afternoon for a report of a suspicious vehicle. Witnesses told an officer the vehicle had been parked off the roadway on a gravel drive since Sunday.
Officers say the vehicle was registered to the mother of 35-year-old Shanda Kangas Werkmeister. The mother told officers that Werkmeister had been driving the vehicle, and she had not seen her daughter in a couple of days. After a search of the area, officers say they found Werkmeister's body floating in the Cedar River.
Captain Tim Pillack says that after an autopsy was performed in Ankeny on Thursday, it was determined that Werkmeister accidentally drowned.

Two KCWRT Events Upcoming
The Knoxville Civil War Roundtable has two events coming up that should be of interest to Civil War buffs and enthusiasts in the area.
First is KCWRT regular meeting Tuesday, May 11 at Bearden Banquet Hall, 5804 Kingston Pike. Buffet time is 7 p.m. The keynote speech is set for 8 p.m. Details: Dinner & Speech $15 for members, $17 for non-members. To come just for the speech is $3 for members and $5 for non-members. Reservations are required for dinner and must be made by 11 a.m. Monday, May 10. Call or leave word at 865-671-9001.
KCWRT speaker is Historian Thomas Flagel, who teaches American History at Columbia State Community College. He holds degrees from Loras College, Kansas State University, Creighton University, and has studied at the University of Vienna.
Author of books on the Civil War, World War II, and the American Presidency, he is currently working on a volume concerning Abraham Lincoln.
Flagel serves on the Mayor's Battlefield Task Force of Franklin and is a board member of the Carter House and the Franklin Civil War Round Table.
He is originally from Iowa. Among his ancestors are several Civil War veterans, including a great-great-great grandfather from the 2nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry.
His talk is on Appomattox in which he examines the birth, decline, and resurrection of this historic Civil War place of peace, and how it came to symbolize countless towns like it, utterly and forever transformed by a painful conflict that shapes our national landscape to this day.
Next, the KCWRT is planning a guided tour to Civil War sites in Mill Springs and Richmond, Ky. Date for the trip is May 15.
More information on both events can be found on KCWRT website.

- 100% Cotton
- Heritage Fit
- Machine Washable
- Imported
Rated 3 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TheJeremy My single favorite pair of jeans These jeans are work appropriate when dressed up. They are also an excellent casual jean for wearing out. They are very comfortable and the fit is fantastic. These are slim and trendy without making you look like a stork, but still enough room through the thighs for comfort. This is my single favorite pair of jeans, and I have other (excellent) Penguin jeans, Express, Gap, 7, etc. February 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by gg wrong size This is a Christmas present and when I ordered it I didn't see an option for the jeans' length and assumed they were the longest size so they could be sized appropriately. This was not the case therefore they are too short. After the holiday they will have to be returned December 20, 2012

Dr. Yang Yang's 48-Form Taiji Camp
Summer 48-Form Camp, August 10-15, 2014, Blowing Rock, N.C.
This is a new camp this year, and will be conducted immediately following the 2014 EBQ/EBT instructor certification camp. This camp provides instruction in the longer traditional 48 movement form. This form is the next step for those interested in continuing taiji studies beyond the introductory EBT form. Instruction in the traditional pao cui form (2nd routine of the Chen style) is provided in the June 2014 Blowing Rock camp.
CurriculumFocus this year will be on a careful examination of the first twelve movements (Section 1 of 4 Sections) of the 48 movement form. Master Yang will focus significant attention on developing deeper understandings of core principles, energies and applications.
We will continue practicing key standing and moving qigong drills in the mornings and sitting meditation in the evenings. As always, Master Yang's instruction will focus on the importance of nurturing ourselves (yang shen) and, in the case of push hands, nurturing our training partners. In connection with this, we will again alternate between conventional upright training (in form, pushhands, and applications) and recumbent qigong exercises to restore energy and cultivate critical dimensions of deep relaxation.
Sunday, August 10: check-in begins at 3:00, instruction from 6:00-9:00P Mon-Thurs: 8:00 hours instruction/practice Fri, August 15: 6:30-8:00A and 9:00A-12:00P instruction/practice - check out by 3:00P.

February Meeting -- Cut your way out of a paper bag with Adobe IllustratorFebruary 20 2014 by Nick Kwiatkowski
On Feburary 27th, we will be hosting our monthly meeting, but this time at the Lansing Makers Network in Old-Town, Lansing. We will be covering how to make physical things with the design tools you already know (or, kinda know). We will show you how to use Adobe Illustrator to generate things that you can laser cut (with the Lansing Makers Network laser cutter), vinyl cut, and even 3D Print! We will have lots of examples and hands-on examples ranging from laser-cut bacon to vinyl cut stickers.
The meeting will start at 7pm at the Lansing Makers Network at 502 E. Grand River Ave, located between Cedar and Larch just east of Old Town. After the meeting we will be heading over to Zoobie's tavern.
Bring some wood samples if you want them laser cut. We have some scrap for you to play with, and we have vinyl for you to play with as well :)

"Good dive": Delivery and evaluation of an imagery program to a collegiate diving team.
William Way, Ithaca College, USA
Theme: Mental training/interventions
Poster Number: 41
Program ID: POS-1
Presentation: October 3, 2013 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Room: Napoleon
This presentation will outline the delivery of a mental imagery program to a collegiate diving team. Two neophyte practitioners implemented the program under the mentorship of a CC-AASP consultant. Participants included two male and four female divers (Mage = 20.2yrs) with, on average, 6.4 years of competitive experience. Intake measures included a qualitative assessment of season goals and previous imagery use, as well as the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990). Evaluative measures included a weekly imagery use journal and an assessment of perceived polysensory imagery ability (Vealey & Greenleaf, 2010). All divers reported using imagery prior to the program, but did not report practicing in a systematic or immersive fashion. For instance, initial perceived imagery ability scores (on a 5-point Likert scale) ranged from 2.6 (for mood and kinesthetic imagery) to 3.4 (for visual imagery and external imagery perspective). Also, average self-reported time practicing imagery outside of consultation increased from 5.1mins to 13.7mins over the first two weeks (5 sessions) of the program. Anecdotally, the athletes found listening to an imagery script to be helpful. Scripts developed for this program conceptually drew from the bioinformational theory (Lang, 1979) and the functional equivalence explanation (Holmes & Collins, 2001). Sample imagery scripts will be shared to illustrate. In an effort to work from a scientist-practitioner model of consulting (e.g., Corrie & Lane, 2009), data collected throughout the program was used to inform development and refinement of the intervention. For example, controllability was a common difficulty that the divers reported, and the authors will discuss strategies used to help the athletes develop this aspect of their imagery ability. Personal reflections on the consulting experience will also be shared, which may be of interest to other novice consultants or CC-AASP practitioners in mentorship roles.

Arizona authorities help with polygamist sect escape
By Associated Press
Originally published: Jan 22, 2013 - 11:38 am

PHOENIX -- Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne plans a news conference to discuss how his agency and others helped a 26-year-old woman and her six children leave a polygamist sect along the Utah-Arizona border.
The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is one of the nation's largest polygamist communities and is based in the border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz. The group's jailed leader, Warren Jeffs, is said to still be controlling the sect from behind bars in Texas. Jeffs is serving a life sentence after convictions on child sex and bigamy charges.
The news conference set for Tuesday afternoon is scheduled to include Ruby Jessop, who fled the sect, along with Mohave County officials.

The state rooms were spacious and accommodated our needs perfectly. The staff were genial and kind. The state room attendant learned all of our names by day 2. The Waiter and assistant waiter also learned our names. One of our goals on board was to celebrate our parents' 40th wedding anniversary and it was handled with grace and style!!
Our ports of call included Port Canaveral, Nassau and Coco Cay. There were emergencies on board but the privacy of those guests was kept by the staff. Our party included 4 teens and they were entertained by the on-board activities.
6 of our 10 chose to do excursions and they were pleased with the excursion in FL. However, our ship arrived late to Nassau and the 4 who chose an excursion were somewhat disappointed. The ship gave an acceptable response to the issues. Shopping information from the ship was totally valuable to the 4 of us who chose to shop in Nassau. We got NICE freebies because of the seminar on shopping.
If I could write a book I would tell of the wonderful experience that this family experienced on Enchantment of the Seas. We got involved with what was offered and made quite a name for ourselves as the "FUN FAMILY". I personally had a treatment in the salon and I am extremely pleased with the results!! My parents had a couples massage and wanted to adopt the staff from the spa. Our treatments were awesome. Please consider Enchantment for you next cruise. We are already making plans to go again next year maybe even on the same ship!!

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Brandon resident Brent Powell has been elected to the Mississippi Legislature during a special House election.
The Clarion-Ledger reports (http://on.thec-l.com/XiUFkR ) the Republican on Tuesday garnered more than 51 percent of the vote. He avoids a Jan. 29 runoff election.
Powell faced Republicans Bradley Lum and Scot Allen, and independent Benny L. Hubbard. They were vying for the seat left by former Rep. Kevin McGee, who resigned over ethics violations in November.
House District 59 encompasses the Ross Barnett Reservoir area and parts of Brandon and Flowood.

DOB: August 21, 1980
Hometown: Eau Claire, Wis.
It's hard to take a Sprint Cup driver seriously when he looks like an extra from Talladega Nights. It gets even harder to do so when you consider that he's from a town in Wisconsin that sounds like a desert. But what really makes it hard to accept is knowing that his father pours millions of sponsorship dollars into the sport. This has been a bone of contention for fans, fellow drivers and All Left Turns staffers in particular ever since he came onto the scene in 2006.
You can have your father buy your ride and write DEI a big check, but you can't buy talent. And that's what John Menard's been good at his whole life, is just buying success. He's bought his son a Nextel Cup ride and he's just got enough talent to just be in the way most of the time. – Tony Stewart
Perhaps we're all being a tad hasty. After all, the days of drivers hauling their own cars to the track, sleeping in their tool boxes and grazing in the infield for sustenance are long gone. Modern drivers begin training for their careers in the womb and it's highly unlikely that any of them have known any true financial hardships in their climb to the top. Most of the active drivers are more like Menard than any of them care to admit.
So far as the All Left Turns staffers are concerned, we don't hate Menard. Nor do we like him. Let's just say that he keeps us endlessly amused and we're always more than happy to make a joke at his expense.
However, when Menard's team was swallowed up by Richard Petty Motorsports for the 2010 season, a funny thing happened. Paul Menard had a few decent runs. More than decent, actually… by March of 2010, Menard was sitting at eighth place in the points. Stranger still, Jimmie Johnson was not even in the top 12 at the time.
Frankly, we never expected to be posting a bio on Menard, seeing as how he rarely scratches the top 25 in points. Still, stranger things could happen… we could find ourselves putting up a Scott Speed bio.

The goal of machine learning is to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. Many successful applications of machine learning exist already, including systems that analyze past sales data to predict customer behavior, optimize robot behavior so that a task can be completed using minimum resources, and extract knowledge from bioinformatics data. Introduction to Machine Learning is a comprehensive textbook on the subject, covering a broad array of topics not usually included in introductory machine learning texts.
Today's Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods of data analysis. Machine learning provides these, developing methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and then use the uncovered patterns to predict future data. This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach.
This graduate-level textbook introduces fundamental concepts and methods in machine learning. It describes several important modern algorithms, provides the theoretical underpinnings of these algorithms, and illustrates key aspects for their application. The authors aim to present novel theoretical tools and concepts while giving concise proofs even for relatively advanced topics.
Boosting is an approach to machine learning based on the idea of creating a highly accurate predictor by combining many weak and inaccurate "rules of thumb." A remarkably rich theory has evolved around boosting, with connections to a range of topics, including statistics, game theory, convex optimization, and information geometry. Boosting algorithms have also enjoyed practical success in such fields as biology, vision, and speech processing. At various times in its history, boosting has been perceived as mysterious, controversial, even paradoxical.
As the power of computing has grown over the past few decades, the field of machine learning has advanced rapidly in both theory and practice. Machine learning methods are usually based on the assumption that the data generation mechanism does not change over time. Yet real-world applications of machine learning, including image recognition, natural language processing, speech recognition, robot control, and bioinformatics, often violate this common assumption. Dealing with non-stationarity is one of modern machine learning's greatest challenges.
Most tasks require a person or an automated system to reason--to reach conclusions based on available information. The framework of probabilistic graphical models, presented in this book, provides a general approach for this task. The approach is model-based, allowing interpretable models to be constructed and then manipulated by reasoning algorithms. These models can also be learned automatically from data, allowing the approach to be used in cases where manually constructing a model is difficult or even impossible.
Handling inherent uncertainty and exploiting compositional structure are fundamental to understanding and designing large-scale systems. Statistical relational learning builds on ideas from probability theory and statistics to address uncertainty while incorporating tools from logic, databases, and programming languages to represent structure.
The minimum description length (MDL) principle is a powerful method of inductive inference, the basis of statistical modeling, pattern recognition, and machine learning. It holds that the best explanation, given a limited set of observed data, is the one that permits the greatest compression of the data. MDL methods are particularly well-suited for dealing with model selection, prediction, and estimation problems in situations where the models under consideration can be arbitrarily complex, and overfitting the data is a serious concern.
In the field of machine learning, semi-supervised learning (SSL) occupies the middle ground, between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised learning (in which no label data are given). Interest in SSL has increased in recent years, particularly because of application domains in which unlabeled data are plentiful, such as images, text, and bioinformatics.
Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. GPs have received increased attention in the machine-learning community over the past decade, and this book provides a long-needed systematic and unified treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of GPs in machine learning.
In the 1990s, a new type of learning algorithm was developed, based on results from statistical learning theory: the Support Vector Machine (SVM). This gave rise to a new class of theoretically elegant learning machines that use a central concept of SVMs—-kernels--for a number of learning tasks. Kernel machines provide a modular framework that can be adapted to different tasks and domains by the choice of the kernel function and the base algorithm.
Linear classifiers in kernel spaces have emerged as a major topic within the field of machine learning. The kernel technique takes the linear classifier—a limited, but well-established and comprehensively studied model—and extends its applicability to a wide range of nonlinear pattern-recognition tasks such as natural language processing, machine vision, and biological sequence analysis. This book provides the first comprehensive overview of both the theory and algorithms of kernel classifiers, including the most recent developments.
The growing interest in data mining is motivated by a common problem across disciplines: how does one store, access, model, and ultimately describe and understand very large data sets? Historically, different aspects of data mining have been addressed independently by different disciplines. This is the first truly interdisciplinary text on data mining, blending the contributions of information science, computer science, and statistics.
An unprecedented wealth of data is being generated by genome sequencing projects and other experimental efforts to determine the structure and function of biological molecules. The demands and opportunities for interpreting these data are expanding rapidly. Bioinformatics is the development and application of computer methods for management, analysis, interpretation, and prediction, as well as for the design of experiments.
What assumptions and methods allow us to turn observations into causal knowledge, and how can even incomplete causal knowledge be used in planning and prediction to influence and control our environment? In this book Peter Spirtes, Clark Glymour, and Richard Scheines address these questions using the formalism of Bayes networks, with results that have been applied in diverse areas of research in the social, behavioral, and physical sciences.
Graphical models, a marriage between probability theory and graph theory, provide a natural tool for dealing with two problems that occur throughout applied mathematics and engineering—uncertainty and complexity. In particular, they play an increasingly important role in the design and analysis of machine learning algorithms. Fundamental to the idea of a graphical model is the notion of modularity: a complex system is built by combining simpler parts.
Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives when interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the key ideas and algorithms of reinforcement learning. Their discussion ranges from the history of the field's intellectual foundations to the most recent developments and applications.

A "Perfect" Life: Mary Winkler Story
Withering Words
There are lingering legal issues surrounding the slaying.
Fights lie ahead between Mary Winkler and her in-laws. Diane and Dan Winkler filed a $2 million wrongful death civil suit against her, and they are seeking permanent custody of their three grandchildren.
The Winklers are trying to terminate Mary's parental rights, and she responded with a petition to seek immediate custody. The case is pending in Chancery Court in Jackson, Tenn.
The most riveting moments in the sentencing hearing came during victim impact statements given by the Matthew Winkler's brother and mother. After initially expressing love and support for their daughter-in-law, Winkler family has had an increasingly contentious relationship with her.
"I've watched as the life of my brother has been turned into a circus," testified Dan Winkler Jr. While starting icily at his sister-in-law, he added, "I don't see any remorse."
Most withering was the testimony of the victim's mother, Diane Winkler.
"You broke your girls' hearts," Mrs. Winkler said during a stern 30-minute monologue in which she stared intently at Mary Winkler, who sat wearing a print dress and white sweater. "Mary, you have destroyed your husband's character. You have destroyed his good name...You have accused him of being a monster who abused and belittled you."

Family adopts teen brothers, marking milestone for Browards Heart Gallery
It was one poignant photograph of blue-eyed brothers Tyler and Kyle that brought them to their new family.
Since becoming wards of the states welfare system five years ago, Tyler and Kyle have each lived in four foster homes. Twice they were separated.
I saw things no kid should see, 14-year-old Kyle said Monday, as he and Tyler, 16, became the 100th and 101st adoptions made possible by the Heart Gallery of Broward County. Now Im going to be with an actual family.
The Heart Gallery is a photo exhibit showcasing foster children in need of a permanent home. The exhibit, which was first created in 2008, travels to malls, churches and hospitals around the county, primarily showcasing older children and siblings.
It captivated me that they were brothers, and that they needed to be together, said Marta DePasquale, the adoptive mother of the boys. She and her husband Roy saw the photo, with a much younger Kyle leaning his head on his big brothers shoulder, on the Heart Gallerys website. They asked ChildNet, a private non-profit agency that handles adoptions from the state system, to set up a meeting with the boys.
The DePasquales are no strangers to teen adoption.
In 2009, the DePasquales had adopted Ashley, now 17 and her sister Caitlin, now 18, also through ChildNet.
The couple understood the potential difficulties of adopting teens who had been through the system, and perhaps carried baggage from a troubled past.
People think they cant adopt teens because theyll be bad kids, Roy DePasquale said. It helps to remember that we were kids, too, and were not perfect.
The first meeting between the DePasquales and the boys was set up for a fun day at Boomers arcade last August.
At the time, Tyler just wanted to age out of the system when he turned 18; Kyle was acting out and placed in a special needs unit.
But after that first meeting, they wanted to see the DePasquales again.
And they did. For the next five months, Roy, Marta and their two daughters visited the brothers once a week. Tyler and Kyle asked their caseworker to add the family to a list of people allowed to have unsupervised visits. And in January, Tyler and Kyle moved into their Miramar home.
Its fun being with them, and I like the feeling of being permanent, Tyler said during the adoption ceremony.
Tyler and Kyle were taken into the care of the child welfare system five years ago, when Tyler was 11 and Kyle was 9.
There were a lot of drugs, a lot of fighting, thats what I remember, said Kyle, about life before being inside the system.
According to Childrens Rights, an advocacy group for kids in the national child welfare system, 69.1 percent of children who enter foster care are older than age 12. In 2007, more than 30,000 children in foster care exited the system simply because they turned 18, or age out.
Michael Stephens, the child advocate caseworker for Tyler and Kyle, said aging out would have been traumatic for both.
A lot of them end up in bad situations, homelessness, drugs, Stephens said. Theyre dealing with what happened in the past, and they have no one.
As Marta sat next to her sons at the adoption ceremony Monday, she said she hopes her familys success inspires others to give older kids an opportunity to grow in a real home.
Age is really irrelevant, its about the connection that you have with the kids, Marta said.
Were very proud, added Roy. You can tell in little ways that theyre growing.
Tyler, who always preferred to be alone, sat joking with his brother and sisters before the adoption ceremony. Kyles behavior has improved, and he isnt getting into as much trouble as he was.
The brothers sat next to each other Monday during the ceremony which officially changed their last name from Trainer to DePasquale and made them permanent members of the family.
As Circuit County Judge Susan Lebow declared the parents fit to welcome the boys to their household, Marta and Roy tearfully embraced.
Theres different ways of making a family, said Marta DePasquale. And this is so rewarding.

The Santa Ynez Valley home sits nestled in a hillside on the site connecting to the landscape as a natural observer of the floral and fauna. The windows of the home frame fantastic views of the natural surroundings as if they were exhibits in an art gallery. The architects and designers at Fernau + Hartman spent a lot of time on the site to ensure that the views were being maximized for each space. The intersecting and intermingling buildings on the site allow for the homeowners to even frame specific views of the home that appear as built artforms. The two-bedroom home also shares the property with a studio/guest house and a series of outdoor spaces for entertaining.
The sustainability of this home include both exterior and interior features that help make this home an energy efficient and environmentally responsible dwelling. The exterior landscape, designed by Pamela Burton & Company, used native plants mixed partially using seeds from the site, which required less intense irrigation. Many of the exposed outdoor living spaces, as well as larger windows, were covered by shading devices to mitigate excessive sun exposure. The building's orientation took advantage of natural breezes for ventilation and the sun's radiation for a solar hot water system.
The interiors of the home resonate comfort and modernity. The interior materiality include sustainably grown cork flooring, reclaimed Douglas fir decking, cabinets made from resin paper composite, and recycled sunflower seed biocomposite paneling. The clean lines and white walls of the interior spaces contrast well with the industrial and rustic materiality of the exterior of the buildings. Even the intersecting planes of wood paneling which break up the gallery-esque interior seem like art exhibits within the building.
