The 29-year-old has played in 101 games, 79 of them as a starter. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Redding fills a void left by the departure of Dwan Edwards, who signed as a free agent with the Buffalo Bills last week.

Just a couple years ago, it was an unknown. These days, Greek yogurt is at the top of shopping lists. Just ask the Barber Sisters.
"If I'm going to choose yogurt, I'm going to choose Greek yogurt over regular yogurt," says Alana Barber
Her sister Elizabeth says, "Greek yogurt is a healthy nutritious snack I tend to indulge in every now and then."
The two young women are neighbors and share everything, but how they eat their Greek yogurt is very different. Elizabeth eats it for breakfast. Alana cooks with it.
Alana says, "I don't tell people, and usually they don't notice. It usually has a sour taste to it. Being plain, it can take on the taste of things you put with it. "
Greek yogurt is known for its extra thick and creamy texture. The Barber sister say there are more choices since they made the switch.
Elizabeth says, "I probably believe it was just a shelf or two and not a whole lot of variety in flavors. I have definitely seen a growth in that respect."
That's because there is a grocery store revolution in the works, and the battle is being waged in the diary aisle. The landscape is changing thanks to the popularity of Greek yogurt.
SweetBay Spokesperson Nicole Lebeau says, "Sales have increased about 45-percent over last year."
That's expected to grow, given the amount of Greek yogurt produced in the United States. The country's largest producer of Greek yogurt is Chobani. The company took over a retired Kraft plant in 2007, and has since mass produced the concrete-thick treat.
"It's just a process where it's strained to make it thicker, another time to remove the liquid, to make it thicker, and more protein per bite," explains registered dietitian Batina Timmons. While Greece gets the glory, the technique is traced to the Mediterranean region.
Those who have problems with lactose might be able to tolerate Greek yogurt; however, those with milk allergies should stay away.
Most yogurts are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics as a milk substitute.
As always, those with milk sensitivity issues should talk with their doctor before introducing any dairy into their diet.

Are You Conducting Teleservice Work? - Interested In Hearing From You
Posted by Lew2302 on 7/20/2012 at 12:12 PM
Hello. My name is John Lewis, I've lost about 95% of my vision from retinitis pigmentosa and I have 13 years of "in person customer service" and roughly 3 years of teleservice experience. I am in the market for an on site, or home based teleservices position. A few of my preferred areas of interest may include, Customer support, customer satisfaction follow up/survey, appointment scheduling/reminders, voice messaging and writing/data entry.
Is there anyone out there conducting administrative duties, or any type of teleservice work, either as an on site employee, or as a 1099 independent contractor, working from a home office?
I'd be very interested in learning about your work experiences, such as, brief description of duties performed, software incompatibility issues, how you found your current job and any other positives, or challenges you'd like to discuss.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who may want to share. We can correspond off list, if you are more comfortable doing so. Thank you! -- John

Embarkation was a mess. They did not let us on the ship until late in the afternoon and then could not get into our cabins until after 6 p.m. Supposedly all cabins had been totally sanitized yet we found dust in ours.
The library was closed the entire cruise. Ironically we dined with a doctor who specialized in infectious disease. He told us that there was no way that the virus could be spread on books. Many of their company imposed high sanitation procedures only made it inconvenient for the passengers and meant nothing to the spread of the virus.
It was a 13 day cruise and the dining staff made no attempt to learn our names. On previous cruises they knew our names after 3 or 4 days.
Full service was not given to us until the 3rd day. Concierge embarkation/disembarkation meant nothing.
Very poor information given out about anything.
The ship was nice, the cabin was good. Entertainment fair. The staff very friendly but not interested in your name.
We would think twice about taking Celebrity again.

A 1,000-square-foot storefront in the NoHo Arts District will soon be home to comic books of new and old.
For more than 20 years Jud Meyers has dealt new and vintage comics around the world and on Nov. 10 he's opening Blastoff, named after his year-old online business, at 5118 Lankershim Blvd.
The Chatsworth resident said he believes having a comic book shop in the Arts District would meet the growing needs of those who reside in the up-and-coming neighborhood.
"They want restaurants, they want bars, they want supermarkets, they want gyms," Meyers said. "What didn't they have? They don't have a comic book store. Every neighborhood has got to have a comic book store."
How does he know? Paperback superheroes have made a comeback through big-budget action flicks and gained a boost in popularity through conventions like San Diego's Comic Con, Meyers said.
"Comics aren't pop culture anymore, they're culture," he said.
Meyers described himself as the geek that got beat up for reading comics as a kid, but he stuck with his passion and currently owns a pair of comic stores in the San Fernando Valley called Earth 2.
Some of his rarities will be put on display at Blastoff like superhero works by master artist Harlan Ellison, who has titles with an asking price as high as $400.
Other vintage titles on Blastoff's website include a $5,000 copy of Fantastic Four #1, a $3,500 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man #1 in good condition and a $700 edition of the first time the Hulk faced the Thing.
At least one of the store's neighboring businesses says having such unique items available for viewing will generate more foot traffic in the immediate area.
"I'm assuming people would walk further down south from Magnolia just to check him out," said Patrick Lim, manager of computer repair shop MacHollywood. "It will definitely be a plus."
But in addition to a collection of hard-to-find titles dating back to the 1930s, Blastoff will carry many newer and cheaper titles like the latest issues of Batman and the Justice League, Meyers said.
"It's a family store," he said.
And even if a youngster can't afford a comic, Meyers said that boy or girl would be given a comic book free of charge, just so he can still share a bit of his lifelong passion.
"I have more comics than I can possibly ever do anything with in a lifetime. I'm giving them away," he said. "In my store, no child ever walks out without a comic book."
The complimentary title will be selected by Myers himself.
Blastoff is having its grand opening on Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Special guests will include:
Mark Waid (DAREDEVIL, KINGDOM COME)
Gregg Hurwitz (BATMAN, THE SURVIVOR)
Jim Krueger (EARTH-X, JUSTICE, THE HIGH COST OF HAPPILY EVER AFTER [Premiering at Blastoff!])
Scott Tipton (STAR TREK, DOCTOR WHO)

Some films—even good ones—fall neatly into one category or another, but I often find myself drawn to movies that defy pigeonholing, like Richard Linklater's Bernie. Is it a comedy? Yes, in part. Is it a character study? Certainly. Is it a true-crime story? Absolutely. Does it have two outstanding performances in the leading roles? Definitely. If you like Jack Black and/or Shirley MacLaine, the movie is a must-see.
Black plays the title character, who prepares bodies for their final viewing at a funeral parlor in Carthage, Texas and prides himself on his work. An outgoing fellow, he is well-liked throughout the community, where the subject of homosexuality never enters the conversation. MacLaine portrays a wealthy woman who is, by all accounts, the meanest person in town. No one has a good word to say about her, and no one can—or even wants to—get close to her…until Bernie enters her life.
That said, the less you know about Bernie before you see it the more you will enjoy the process of discovery that Linklater and co-writer Skip Hollandsworth had in mind. It was Hollandsworth's 1998 article in Texas Monthly about the almost unbelievable real-life doings in the town of Carthage that inspired the Austin-based filmmaker to pursue this as a film project, which turned into a labor of love.
It is also a portrait of East Texas. Our guide to this distinct area of a diverse state is Sonny Carl Davis, whom some film buffs may remember as the costar of Eagle Pennell's landmark indie feature The Whole Shootin' Match. His presence denotes a continuity in Texas storytelling on film; besides, he lights up the screen.
Linklater also cleverly integrates footage of real-life citizens who remember the real-life characters played by Black and MacLaine, further blurring the line between documentary and dramatization. (The woman who smokes up a storm while casting aspersions on MacLaine's character is played by costar Matthew McConaughey's mother.)
Bernie is both entertaining and continually surprising; that's a welcome combination in my book.
Charles Haas | May 15, 2012 6:48 PM
"Bernie" may "defy "pigeonholing," but this multivalent quality isn't necessarily a boon to the film.
"Fans of Christopher Guest and Best in Show are advised to buy their tickets now to Richard Linklaterâs new film, Bernie. Fans of Richard Linklater and his films, especially those of us who adore his films Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, are advised to stay away. Even those of us who enjoyed his more commercial, though nonetheless amusing, The School of Rock, are advised to think twice.
Bernie is a mockumentary that details the true story (in this case the accuracy of the story telling is not disputed) of a widely beloved assistant funeral home director, Bernie (Jack Black) in the small East Texas town of Carthage who befriends an older widow, Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine) after her husband passes, despite her ornery, unfriendly demeanor; she is described as a âbitchâ by a local woman of a certain age in an interview, one of many with real residents of Carthage, creating a kind of documentary inside the mockumentary superstructure. Though, the critical apparatus could be viewed in reverse. This mise en abîme does not bring any greater truth to the enterprise, but remains dogged by that saddest of adjectives: âquirky.â..."

Thank you for your kind words. I am truly humbled.- SCD

O'Brien thrilled to get Oxford United lifeline after tough break
10:20am Friday 21st September 2012 in Football By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
AFTER getting a taste of unemployment this summer Luke O'Brien is desperate to make the most of a "massive chance" with Oxford United.
The left back signed a short-term deal last week and could make his U's debut against Bradford City tomorrow.
O'Brien knows the opponents well after joining the Bantams aged eight, going on to spend 15 years at the club.
But after falling out of manager Phil Parkinson's plans, the 24-year-old moved to Exeter City in January.
After making just three appearances for the Devon club he was released.
The Yorkshireman spent a demoralising pre-season alongside hundreds of other free agents searching for a club before United made an approach.
He said: "I knew it was going to be difficult, but I didn't realise it was going to be as hard as it turned out to be.
"I went up to Ross County and did a week of pre-season up there, then I had two weeks at Accrington Stanley and a week at Halifax.
"I've been to a few Conference sides since then to earn myself a deal, which didn't work out, then I got the opportunity to come down here last week.
"When I was offered a deal at Oxford I more or less signed it straight away because this is a massive chance.
"I did get disheartened in the summer, thinking 'have I become a bad player overnight?' "My family picked me up and encouraged me to be patient.
"But it was getting worse because I was three or four months without any money coming in.
"I was going into my savings to pay bills, so to get offered something here for a short term straight away I said 'yes'."
O'Brien has more than 150 senior appearances to his name and has been brought in to provide cover for Tony Capaldi while Liam Davis recovers from a long-term groin injury.
But the new signing is hoping to be given a chance to prove himself and earn a more permanent contract.
He said: "It's a short-term deal, but with a view if I do well they've said I'd hopefully be offered something longer.
"I've got something in writing for a few months, so it's a bit of stability and I've come down here to impress and get Tony out of the way to make that left back spell my own.
"Tony's obviously done well so at the moment I'm happy to be involved in the squad."

Traditional comparative advantage vs. increasing returns to scale: NAFTA and the GATT
AbstractRegional free trade zones have been unexpectedly successful in the last decade. Since 1980 the European Community enlarged significantly its membership and its scope. It now includes southern European countries, and market-integrating features allowing goods, people, services and capital to flow freely around an area accounting for about one fourth of world economic output. Based on economies of scale - we find a condition that determine whether trading blocks Such as NAFTA and the EU are complementary with and encourage global free trade - when this condition fails, instead, trading blocks undermine free trade. It is the purpose of this paper to re-examine the positive and negative aspects of trading blocs as they relate to gains from free trade. The paper is primarily a discussion of conceptual issues, although it is based on facts and on particular cases which are of interest to the trade liberalization in the Americas. We take a somewhat different approach to a familiar issue. Rather than asking the standard question of whether regional blocs help or hinder global free trade, we ask a more detailed question: what type of customs union is likely to lead to a trade war between the blocs, and what type of customs union is, instead, likely to lead to expanded global trade. In practical terms: what type of trade policies within the blocs will provide economic incentives for expanding free trade. We shall compare the impact on the world economy of free trade blocs which are organized around two alternative principles: one is traditional comparative advantages, the other is economies of scale. The aim is to determine how the patterns of trade inside the blocs determine the trade relations among the blocs.

"After several tough years we were blessed in 2012 to have a good peanut crop," said Beaver Yoder.
Yoder grows peanuts on his farm located at the Calhoun-Jackson County line and his farm wasn't the only one who saw a good crop. Every state that grew peanuts in 2012 had a good yield...making for one never seen before harvest across the nation.
"Right now we have a supply of peanuts in the USA of about 3.5 million tons and demand is about 2.1 million tons, so we have an extreme over supply of peanuts," said Ken Barton, Executive Director of the Florida Peanut Producers Association.
He says when supply and demand don't match-up, farmers yield the effects.
"Since we have an oversupply we're looking at 2013 as a down market for our crop," said Yoder.
In fact, the shelling industry isn't offering any contracts yet for this year's peanut crop.
"You can plant as many acres as you want, said Yoder. "But if there are no contracts offered, that will be your safety net price, a 355."
Yoder says $355 is below production costs. However, a robust export market could help match the demand to the abundant supply and ultimately affect this year's prices.
"We have countries importing USA grown peanuts that have never imported USA peanuts before," said Barton.
China, Columbia, and Vietnam are just a few that are importing USA peanuts for the first time, meaning the salty snack grown right here in the Panhandle is making their way overseas.
"China is buying tremendous amounts of peanut," said Barton. "They are in the process right now importing from USA 350 to 400,000 tons of peanuts."
It's exciting news for farmers like Barton and Yoder.
"What makes me proud is the fact that we grow a safe food that we can export to other countries and therefore that's part of the reason why we have an increase in exports," said Yoder.
But while exciting, Barton said, "I would advise farmers to not get too anxious yet. Be very patient and lets hope this robust export market continues."
Barton says the domestic market, meaning peanut butter, is also increasing. If that and the export market continue to rise, farmers have a good chance of seeing good prices for 2013.

Clocktower Cellar Pub

4.28/5 rDev +2.6%
The Clocktower cellar has the best selection of draught beers in Mammoth and is certainly the place to go if you want to immerse yourself in the vibe that is "locals".
Smallish place in the cellar of a hotel with fooseball and other games. Bar seating for maybe 20 and maybe 10 tables as well. Aprox 30 taps of freshies with draught list available, so sharpen your eyes for scoping out the tap handles. A seperate bottle list is available as well as some pub grub which is pretty tasty. The burger features a "pretzel roll" which is pretty tasty.
Green Flash IIPA, Lagunitas IPA, Booneville IPA, as well as a few of the local Mammoth brews on tap. Plenty of selection for everyone.
This is a fun, lively place which is clearly a local hangout with great beer.

The best bar in Mammoth. In the cellar of the Alpenhof Hotel, right across from the Canyon Lodge gondola. Laid-back vibe with plenty of seating, great jukebox, and nice bartenders. Big tap selection, maybe between 20-25?. Usual macros, but a great mix of Mammoth beers and micros from Nor-Cal. Some SoCal beer sneak in along with Oregon and Northwest products. Bigger selection of bottles ranging from Aecht Schlerenka, to Humboldt, to plenty of Belgians and Germans. Can always find something interesting or new to try. Bartenders know what they are talking about. Prices are cheap.

"Surprise wife, the hotel I booked has the best beer bar in town in the basement." Not ordinarily great news for her but just upstairs is a very well stocked wine bar...
Probably 25-30 taps including several locally brewed selections from Mammoth Brewing as well as other fine mostly-California beers. Knew I would like the place when I walked in and heard Uncle Tupelo playing on the jukebox - excellent and eclectic music selection.
Bar not crowded due to being off-season at a ski resort but friendly outdoorsy types made up the congregation. Server was attentive and knowledgable. When I asked for a Green Flash West Coast it poured with heavy sediment so he gave me a Hop Head Red instead, gratis. Great whiskey selection as well.

The Clocktower Cellar Pub is situated in the Alpenhof Lodge on Minaret Road, yards away from the junction with Main Street, and literally spitting distance from the Mammoth Brewing / Whisky Creek Restaurant establishment.
The entrance is located at the base of the clocktower to which the title refers. A wide wooden staircase brings you down into this cellar bar. Comprised of a large divided room, the feel is instantly of a Pub set up.
As you get at the foot of the stairs they kick right and bring you into an open area. A series of neatly arranged whicker furniture and sofas greet you. A half wall behind this seating hides a separate area with a Pool Table. Once inside, the main bar is in front of you against the right hand side wall, it is self contained and sits neatly in the corner. A small archway to the right of the bar leads off to the toilets. A CD Jukebox sits against the front wall and has some killer tunes on it. Lots of snow related memorabilia as well as a fare share of breweriana too, in fact the walls are brightly adorned with many a brewery poster and sign. A few small TVs are complemented by a lone large screen affair, they were showing hunting programs whilst I was there. A couple of those Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale drawn carriage models dangle from the ceiling and could fool one into thinking that the bar just sells stuff from the big boys. Not so!
Thirty One (31) Taps are dotted about the bar. Four large German style beer fonts dispense around a dozen brews whilst the rest of the taps are set behind the bar area in two separate banks. The selection is interesting, there are of course the usual suspects for the Après-Ski crowd but the craft beer lover is equally catered for. I tried the Sierra Nevada Brown Ale as well a Ballast Point Big Eye IPA, both were fresh and served in excellent condition. In addition to the draft beers, a small but nice selection of bottled beers complements and brings the total of beers on sale to around 50 it seems. They had several Belgium offerings including Chimay, Duvel and Satan, plus a few from Unibroue too I recall.
Service was quick and very attentive, the chap behind the bar didnt seem to talk much but he was courteous and always let the beer settle and then topped it up thus ensuring a full pint, a nice touch that and one that shows that this is a Beer Bar that looks after its custom. In addition to this, we got a free bowl of Pretzels, something often seen in Belgium, but I cannot recall the last time I got free snacks in the US.
The Clocktower Cellar Pub makes a great one-two with the Mammoth Brewing/Whisky Creek set up just over the road. Out of the two I easily preferred this place, it had a great range of bottled and draft beers backed up with service that knew the beers and was customer focused. A great bar, I hit this place on the eve of the Mammoth Festival of Beers and Bluesapalooza with my fellow LongBeachHopHeads, but I can imagine that this place kicks during the Ski season on the cold dark nights. Recommended.

Love this place, though nobody I travel with seems to get it, be it Summer or Winter. A classic locals bar positioned neatly between Whiskey Creek and my usual rental condo.
Thirty or so taps, some bottle options and a pool table or two amidst it all. Generally see a Ballast Point or Stone option on the list to comfort the San Diego traveller. Usually a couple options from Mammoth Brewing next door as well as other Nocal/NoWest options.
I can't imagine a trip to Mammoth without dropping into the cellar...Well worth a visit..

Welcome to the CSA
The Center for Student Advising (CSA) provides an integrated advising experience for all students in Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. CSA brings together, under one roof, general academic advising, Academic Success Programs, the Columbia Undergraduate Scholars Program (CUSP), and the Office of Preprofessional Advising. Students are assigned a CSA adviser who works with them throughout their time at Columbia.
Our Vision
We will be a trusted and indispensable source of knowledge and support for all students and a widely emulated model of advising excellence across the nation and around the globe.
Our Mission
- The Center for Student Advising strives to guide and support students at Columbia College and Columbia Engineering in their journey within and beyond Columbia University.
- To this end, CSA advisers (1) help students recognize and pursue their passions; (2) challenge students to set realistic academic and life goals to ensure personal success; (3) empower students to think and act creatively and independently; and (4) help students understand their role in all of their advising relationships to enable them to form productive advising partnerships.
- The CSA endeavors to work closely with all relevant offices across the Columbia campus to create an integrated advising experience for students as they grow intellectually, socially, and professionally at Columbia.
- The CSA shall assess, analyze, and evaluate its work continuously to determine ways to grow along with its constituent population.
- In short, it is our mission to help students become the best possible versions of themselves.
The Advising Partnership
Productive advising is built on a true partnership in which the student and the adviser work together. The spirit of an ideal advising partnership is one of mutual engagement, responsiveness, and dedication. Regular advising conversations, the fundamental building blocks of the partnership, enable an adviser to serve as a resource of knowledge and a source of referrals - so that students may plan and prepare, in the broadest sense, over the course of their years at Columbia.
To make this partnership a success:
Students should:
- Actively engage in the advising relationship
- Respond to adviser outreach and be forthcoming about perceived obstacles to success
- Proactively research and plan ways to reach academic goals and be open to sharing these goals with their advisers
- Be open to researching the answers to questions with advisers in order to learn ways to find information on their own
- Act upon referrals to other sources of information and advice
- Let advisers know when they have not been able to find information and advice they need.
Advisers should:
- Be knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive
- Reach out to advisees, especially when an advisee seems to be struggling
- Inquire about students' short- and long-term goals and ask students to consider studying abroad, fellowships, scholarships, internships, research opportunities, etc.
- Research the answers to questions with students as a way to show students how and where to find information on their own
- Refer students to other sources of advice and information and connect advisees with appropriate faculty members and departments
- Follow up with students on important matters in a timely way.
Please click on the brochure to learn more about academic advising at Columbia.

Two men accused of robbing the Maynard Saving Bank while leading officers on a high-speed chase into Bremer County and seriously injuring two police officers in October of last year will now spend 75 years in prison.
Jeremiah Mumford and William Clayton faced 35 felonies, including eight counts of attempted murder and 16 counts of assault on a peace officer in Bremer County.
They have pleaded guilty to all of the charges except five counts of terrorism.
When asked if he admitted to robbing the bank in Maynard, Mumford told a KWWL reporter, "It would appear so."
Mumford also said "no" when asked by KWWL if he felt remorse for his crimes.
This non-remorseful attitude followed Mumford into the courtroom.
Both Mumford and Clayton not only pleaded guilty to 30 counts in Bremer County, but were then convicted of those counts. Eight of those counts were attempt to commit murder.
Sumner Police Chief Dennis Cain was one of the victims. He made an impact statement for both Clayton's and Mumford's hearing.
"I never thought I would be the victim," said Cain.
Cain said he wished he could have wrote out his victim statement, but couldn't because of his injured thumb.
Cain was one of the officers chasing Mumford and Clayton following the bank robbery and was injured during a shootout. He was shot in the neck, hand and finger.
"You left me on the road for dead," said Cain in his victim statement.
As Cain was speaking to Mumford, that non-remorseful attitude returned.
"He raised his eyebrows and cocked his head, so I figured I better say something to him," Cain said.
Cain said he is lucky to be alive today, but even though this chapter of the case is coming to a close in Bremer County, he still has questions.
"I guess my biggest thing is, why?" Cain said. "I can see bank robberies nowadays, but not the shooting. Where were they going to go? They made the statement in Fayette County when they were surrounded (that) they were going to shoot it up. What did they do? Act like cowards and didn't."
Mumford and Clayton already pleaded guilty to attempted murder and robbery charges in Fayette County where the bank robbery took place.
They are scheduled to be sentenced on those charges next week.

The broadcasts will begin at 7 p.m. each Friday night.
Station manager/owner Brett Elmore said that the concept of the series stemmed in part to the anticipation football fans feel during the summer months in waiting for the season to begin, as well as the availability of the broadcast of the games that will be featured.
"Our broadcaster Woody Wilson, who will be entering his 30th year of calling Vikings Football, has a recording of every game he has called in his remarkable tenure at the microphone," Elmore said. "We felt that the months of June and July – in which is a natural lull in high school sports and football in particular – would be the perfect time to air the series to gear fans up for the beginning of the season in August."
Johnny Elmore, who broadcasted the Vikings' games alongside of Wilson for 24 years, stated that the content of the re-airing broadcasts will include commentary from himself, Wilson, along with Brett Elmore — who took over the broadcasting spot six season ago.
Also featured will be interviews with coaches who were at the Walker helm during the games, such as Danny Gambrell and current Vikings coach John Holladay.
"The interviews with the coaches will bring listeners a unique insight into the mindset of the team leading up to and during the game, as well as their thoughts on particular game-defining plays," Johnny Elmore said. "Through the interviews, listeners will gain an opportunity to understand what each one of these games meant to the coaches, players and the Vikings program."
The series may also include interviews with former Walker players, whose performances were instrumental in the games.
Wilson, who along with Johnny Elmore was inducted into the Walker Sports Hall of Fame for their longtime broadcasting service to the program, remarked that the series will present a chance for long-time fans to relive some of the Vikings' most treasured moments as well as acquainting a new generation of supporters to key moment in Walker Football history.
"Games such as these will stir up fond, but also very powerful memories for many people," Wilson said. "There are moments in games that we are re-airing that are etched into history and still talked about today – events that define a team and the program."
The series will kick off with the Nov. 4, 1983 Walker vs. Dora game entitled "Renewal of an old rivalry". The ensuing games of the series will follow with: June 8 – Walker vs. Decatur: Nov. 10, 1995; June 15 – Walker vs. Fayette: Nov. 22, 1999; June 22 – Walker vs. Jess Lanier: Oct. 19, 1990; June 29 – Walker vs. Homewood: Sept. 22, 2000; July 6 – Walker vs. Eutaw: Oct. 7, 1988; July 13 – Walker vs. Gardendale: Sept. 14, 2001; July 20 – Walker vs. Hazel Green: Aug. 31, 2007 and July 27 – Walker vs. Curry: Oct. 20, 1995.
Upon conclusion of the series, a compilation disc containing all of the games that were aired during the re-broadcast will be made available for sale.
For information on the series, as well as to make suggestions for the content, call the station at 221-0885.

Spending your school years taking challenging academic courses and reading widely is the best way to get ready for the PSAT/NMSQT.
The PSAT/NMSQT includes the same types of critical reading, math, and writing skills multiple choice questions as the SAT®.
Ready to give the questions a test run? Pick a section below, and you'll find tips and practice questions with answers and explanations for each type of question.
Critical Reading
Sentence Completion questions measure your knowledge of the meanings of words and ability to understand how the different parts of a sentence logically fit together. Practice now.
Passage-Based Reading questions measure your ability to read and think carefully about a single reading passage or a pair of related passages. Practice now.
The math section of the PSAT/NMSQT requires a basic knowledge of number and operation; algebra and functions (though not content covered in third-year math classes--content that will appear on the new SAT); geometry and measurement; and data analysis, statistics, and probability. You can use a calculator to answer math questions, but no question on the test requires a calculator.
Multiple Choice questions ask you to decide which is the best of the five choices given. Practice now.
Grid-ins, or student-produced response questions, require you to solve a problem and enter your answer. Practice now.
Writing Skills
The multiple-choice questions on writing skills measure your ability to express ideas effectively in standard-written English, to recognize faults in usage and structure, and to use language with sensitivity to meaning.
Identifying Sentence Errors questions test your knowledge of grammar, usage, word choice, and idiom. You are required to find errors in sentences or indicate that there is no error. Practice now.
Improving Sentences questions ask you to choose the best, most effective form of an underlined portion of a given sentence. Practice now.
Improving Paragraphs questions require you to make choices about improving the logic, coherence, or organization in a flawed passage. Practice now.

I'd be more likely to willingly visit a hell mouth. I noticed as the confrontation was developing that lots of players and media were moving away from where Albert and I were standing. I could see one guy sidling toward me out of the corner of my eye. Finally Sandy Alomar Jr. rushed in and saved me from possibly being pile driven or hit with the roll of quarters Albert no doubt kept in his waistband for just such occasions.Bud Shaw, on Albert Belle's reaction to one of his columns

UTAC Summary, 15-MAY-2013 ** draft **
Note: This report summarizes the 11-DEC-2012 UTAC meeting and related committee activities completed through 28-FEB-2013 via subcommittee meetings and e-mail-based UTAC reviews.
Attendance: Lynne Fleisher, Dave Hartley, Terry Latour, Ben Legum, Marilyn Harhai, Connie Laughlin, Amanda Lockwood, Mike Phillips, Rein Pold, Sam Puleio, Annette Rosati, Steve Selker.
Administrative Items
The DEC-12..MAR-13 Meeting Summary was approved.
Draft IT Plan
The planning subcommittee routed the draft IT plan to the full UTAC on 5/4. It was noted that all of the college plans have not been finalized yet, so some additional review of the IT plan may be required where alignment is needed with those plans. UTAC endorsed the plan and it will be submitted to the Planning, Assesment, and Improvement office.
Windows XP
Microsoft will end support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. While the Clarion standard Windows operating system for new machines has been Windows 7 for several years, there are still numerous (800+) legacy machines on campus that run Windows XP. Some of these machines are being upgraded in the summer as part of the faculty PC upgrade initiative. Many of the remaining machines have hardware capable of running Windows 7; generally these machines are older than 2007. A replacement plan is needed for the remaining machines in order to provision hardware that will support Windows 7.
The committee discussed options and approaches to address the upgrade. After the summer 2013 tech fee upgrades, there will be approximately 90 PC's available to "cascade" through the standard UTAC process. The committee agreed to pursue the cascade process immediately at the start of the fall semester. The initial announcement will be made to RC Managers in the summer, but the due date for requests will be 9/27 in order to provide departments with adequate time to prepare proposals. As the call for cascaded equipment is made, Computing Services will provide RC managers with reports to summarize the Windows XP issue and inventories for the RC so that appropriate requests can be included and prioritized in the cascade process. When the faculty PC upgrades are compeleted and the cascades are awarded, Computing Services will work with each RC manager to plan Windows 7 upgrades from OCT-2013 through MAR-2014. Application compatability will need to be reviewed as part of the upgrade process, particularly in the science labs.
Summer 2013 Tech Fee Renewals
Tech Fee Renewal Results: UTAC completed the tech fee project renewal process. 29 projects were eligible for renewal; 6 elected to cancel the renewal and 6 elected to defer the renewal until 2014. The remaining 17 projects were reviewed by UTAC and advanced to PEC as recommended life cycle replacement/renewals. Renewal projects were approved for Becker CIS PC's, Becker CIS Advanced Lab PC's, Biology Imaging Analysis PC, Video Post-production editing station Mac's and software, Scott Studio System maintenance, Geospatial Technologies Lab life servers and software, MEDIA Project (Art/Music/Communications computer labs), Mac's, publishing software for the Clarion Call, Radio Transmitter maintenance, Theatre Design Lab/Studio software, ITV maintenance for 4 ITV rooms, Athletics Film Exchange laptops and cameras, Adaptive Technology Lab PC and software, and a Financial Trading Floor stock ticker engine upgrade. Total cost for all projects is ~ $221,000. Procurement and projects will be initiated over the summer.
Smart Classrooms: In addition to the renewal projects, summer 2013 projects will also include a variety of smart classroom refresh projects. In summary, 39 computers, 16 projectors, 2 full rooms, and 6 control or sound components will be upgraded.
Smart Classroom Subcommittee
The smart classroom subcommittee provided an update on their discussions to date and their plans for the fall semester. A fall survey will be launched to review the smart classroom "level" model including all of the room components. In collaborations with the Facilities Master Plan consultant, the subcommittee will utilize feedback from the survey to develop model classrooms for review in each college.

If there's a warrant for your arrest in Rock Island County, local law enforcement are looking for you.
Friday was the first warrant sweep the sheriff's department has done since 2005. The sheriff gave offenders a little over a week to turn themselves in, but many warrants still haven't been cleared.
So officers from several different police departments, sheriff's deputies and state troopers were all dedicated to doing just that Friday.
The Rock Island County Sheriff's Department alone had 16 people out serving warrants, working their way down the list and trying to clear 8,000 warrants in the county and TV6 got to go along with.
For Deputy Jamie Brown, serving a warrant is different every time.
"You have no idea, you can answer the door and have a shot gun in your face, you never know what you're going to get," he says.
But it's not always easy to track people down.
"They won't answer the door, they know they're wanted so they'll tell a relative or whatever, (to say) 'I'm not here, don't tell the police where I'm at,'" Brown says, "It's hit and miss."
So it takes some work to get the job done.
"When I serve warrants I kind of like to kind of scope the house out, try to window peek, especially at night," Brown says.
Scoping out the house to see if anyone's inside and talking to whoever's home to find out where the person who's wanted is, but not everybody is cooperative. Brown says sometimes it takes a little more digging to find who you're looking for.
A lot of work to bring in the wanted and clear the books.
"It's kind of tough to snag them up, they get caught eventually," Brown says.

Updated at 2:15 p.m.
At least 10 peoples have died from the H1N1 influenza virus, according to recent media reports. The Royal Oak Daily Tribune said three residents have died in Oakland County, where the public health officer said she believes numbers are "understated."
Kathy Forzley, manager and health officer for the Oakland County Health Division, said the most recent victims are 23, 25 and 29.
With that and other reports, the death toll is close to 10 in Michigan, according to the report.
"They may have had underlying health conditions that contributed to their deaths," Forzley said. "But I do not have those specifics at this time. I can also tell you, the severity of illness is most pronounced under the age 60 inpatient group."
Our earlier report:
At least four Michiganders have died from a deadly strain of H1N1 and public health officials are pleading with residents to get a flu shot if they haven't already.
Two of the three adults who died live in Washtenaw County, WILX.com reports. An infant in mid-Michigan also died.
The University of Michigan Health System said last week that at least a dozen adults and children were in intensive care with the flu. Most are otherwise healthy, but the outbreak is causing some anxious déjà vu for Dr. Lena Napolitano, the associate chair for critical care in the U-M Department of Surgery, who is in charge of treating some of the most critically ill patients.
In 2009, a similar strain of the influenza virus was behind pandemic claimed up to 575,400 lives worldwide in 2009.
"We are seeing the same thing we saw in 2009 and early 2010, with ICUs full of people in their 30s, 40s and 50s who need advanced life support for flu-related illness," Napolitano said. "Except this year, protection has been available since September."
There is still plenty of vaccine available at drugstores and doctors' offices, she said, encouraging everyone over the age of 6 months to get a flu shot.
Influenza Symptoms
Influenza (also known as the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The flu is different from a cold. The flu usually comes on suddenly. Here's how to tell if you have the flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control:
- Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Headaches
- Fatigue (tiredness)
- Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
* It's important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.
Flu Complications
Most people who get influenza will recover in a few days to less than two weeks, but some people will develop complications (such as pneumonia) as a result of the flu, some of which can be life-threatening and result in death.
Pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus and ear infections are examples of complications from flu. The flu can make chronic health problems worse. For example, people with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have the flu, and people with chronic congestive heart failure may experience worsening of this condition that is triggered by the flu.
People at Higher Risk from Flu
Anyone can get the flu (even healthy people), and serious problems related to flu can happen at any age, but some people are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications if they get sick. This includes people 65 years and older, people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), pregnant women, and young children.
Flu Severity
Flu is unpredictable and how severe it is can vary widely from one season to the next depending on many things, including:
- What flu viruses are spreading,
- How much flu vaccine is available,
- When vaccine is available,
- How many people get vaccinated, and
- How well the flu vaccine is matched to flu viruses that are causing illness.
Review good health habits with your children, such as:
- Covering the mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing, and disposing of the tissue immediately in a proper trash receptacle
- Refraining from touching the eyes, nose and mouth to prevent the spread of germs
- Washing the hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds
- Using an alcohol-based hand rub when soap and water are not immediately available
- Stay home if you are getting ill
