Health care 'diagnosis and cure' topic for symposium
October 21, 2009
"Health Care in America: The Diagnosis and the Cure" is the theme of the first symposium to be presented by the Bryan Center for Law and Public Policy Oct. 30-31. This symposium will examine the "Freedom Solution" to the current health care crisis, a non-partisan reform proposal founded on greater health care freedom and consistent with a Christian worldview.
The Center for Law and Public Policy was established this past spring to communicate a thoughtful, logical, ethical and Constitutional view of law and public policy issues in the context of a Christian worldview. Professor and center Director Dr. Kevin Clauson said, "We wanted our first subject to be timely, yet profound and challenging, and this issue is all of those. I hope that people who hear these addresses will come away with a new way of looking at health care policy. We want to go beyond mere negativity. We have some real, time-tested ideas that will work."
The speakers represent different aspects of the health care debate, specializing in topics including health care public policy, medical ethics and economics. Speakers include James Lansberry, vice president of the Public Policy Department at Samaritan Ministries International and president of the Alliance of Health Care Sharing Ministries; Franklin E. Payne, M.D., former associate professor of Family Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, where he taught for 25 years; and Timothy Terrell, Ph.D., associate professor of Economics at Wofford College.
Sessions are free and will be held in Rudd Auditorium beginning at 6 p.m. For additional information and a full session schedule, visit our website.

Hello Bellagio, meet CherokeeWritten by Becky Johnson
The Mirage has a volcano. There's the Fountains of Bellagio, and the pyramid-shaped Luxor.
Cherokee will have the Rotunda, the crown jewel of the $633 million expansion to be unveiled next year and serve as the new casino entrance.
"With any casino, the notion of a grand arrival is key to create a sense of excitement," said Erik Sneed, the tribe's construction manager over the project. "You want a huge sensomatic, volumetric experience."
And that's exactly what Cherokee will have.
Shining five-story trees made of colored glass, like giant Tiffany lamps, ring the Rotunda with a 75-foot waterfall cascading down the middle. A 140-foot screen wraps around the walls where choreographed shows will be projected in concert with visual manipulation of the lighting in the trees and waterfall, along with intense audio effects.
"The lights will go down, you hear thunder rumble, suddenly the trees glow an intense red, the screen comes on, the music start and the show plays," Sneed described.
One of 15 shows will play on an hourly schedule.
A massive, floating, spiral staircase winds through the trees and wraps around the waterfall. The self-supporting staircase was designed without columns underneath.
"We wanted the effect of a staircase that looked like it was suspended in thin air," Sneed said.
But it also took an engineering feat to float with 50 tons of twisted steel.
"The only place that could roll steel that big was in Canada. We had to buy the steel, have it fabricated, shipped to Canada and then back to Cherokee," Sneed said.

question : pls,tell me which one (a-d) is the correct answer.d
question : In the sentense"You should know better than to ask her." which word should be stressed?
It depends on the meaning- if you want to stress that 'asking' was an inappropriate thing to do then stress it. If you want to emphasise 'her', then stress that. If you are surprised by the other person's stupidity, then stress 'you'.

Washington Cadastral Framework
Status Report
Since the last Washington Cadastral Framework project meeting in June, much has happened on the Cadastral Framework Project. The final draft of the Partnership Agreement is under review, and has been sent to the department supervisor for DNR signature. The DNR has completed its conversion of public land survey, ownership, administration, management, and corner GIS layers to the cadastral database. The integration pilot has been developing business procedures, standards, and integration methods. Integration is being tested in a development environment. The Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation has been working to develop support for a proposal to the legislature to support the Cadastral Framework as a means of keeping the public lands inventory up to date. The framework projects have been meeting to coordinate the framework theme implementations. The Washington Cadastral Framework Project has been invited by the National States Geographic Information Council to join the Parcel Consortium of a project sponsored by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service to develop data and software based on the FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standard at a national level. The Washington Cadastral Framework web site has also been revised to show all of the important communications and project documents which have been sent out to partners. I have asked the FGDC to extend the project grant deadline to 03/31/00 to allow time to complete the integration pilot and integration plans.
The general partners have met 11/18/98 and 06/15/99 to review the goals, direction, and status of the project. At the last meeting, priorities were set to develop an integration plan for the state's cadastral data, and a funding plan for the next two years. The next general meeting will be a video conference on 08/19/99 at Department of Information Services Washington Information Technologies sites in Lacey, Seattle, Spokane, and Vancouver.
The integration pilot partners met 02/03/99, 03/03/99, 04/07/99, 05/05/99, and 07/22/99, to address the technical implementation of integration standards and processes. Another integration meeting will be scheduled for September. Participants in the integration pilot are Snohomish County, US Bureau of Land Management, Longview Fibre, ESRI, DNR, and Clallam County. Minutes for the meetings and revisions for the business processes and roles have been distributed and are available on the web site.
The integration pilot is attempting to minimize the work load on the data integrator and data providers. Partners discussed several possible procedures for integrating data in the pilot. Partners are providing updated data sets for integration development and testing. Partners expanded the scope of the integration pilot from Legal Area Descriptions, Boundaries, and Corners to include Parcels. BLM is developing the PLS subdivision of sixteenth sections and government lots, and assigning GCDB codes to corners in east Snohomish County. BLM's revisions will be integrated into the framework database. A cadastral data transfer standard has been developed to allow partners to extract data from their data sets and integrate the data into the framework database. Partners have reviewed the data transfer standard several times. DNR is developing AML programs which will create transfer standard tables, format partner data into the transfer standard, and extract ASCII attribute and shape files for integration with the framework database. These AML programs could be used as examples by additional partners for developing procedures to integrate their data. The development and maintenance of these programs has been turned over to the integration partners. DNR is also developing the validation routines to check for required fields, check for completeness of the partner transaction, and to check the production view of the integration database.
IAC has held meetings of the Public Lands Inventory Project Data Reporting Committee on 01/12/99, 02/24/99, 04/21/99, and will meet 08/13/99, to discuss continuing support and maintenance of public lands records with respect to their mandate from the legislature to provide options for future public lands inventory updates. Some organizations on the Data Reporting Committee has expressed an interest in providing additional local government requirements to the project at the next opportunity for revision.
Representatives of the framework Transportation, Hydrography, and Cadastral projects have met on 01/26/99, 02/18/99, 03/31/99, 04/29/99, 06/02/99, and 07/16/99, to review requirements of theme integration and coordinate development. The Cadastral Framework Project has expressed interest in Hydrography features, and Transportation routes and addressing. Hydrography and Transportation projects are interested in having the Cadastral Framework provide point coordinates of significant locations.
The NILS project will rely on the Washington Cadastral Framework Project to provide representation of the Washington Framework partners, representation of Pacific Northwest states, input on changes that should be made to the Cadastral Data Content Standard, implementation of the cadastral object classes, and development of tools to edit those objects within ARC 8.1. The Washington Cadastral Framework Project is continuing as planned with minimal delay in implementation. Participation in the NILS project provides an opportunity to promote the standards which the Washington partners have developed at a national level. The Washington partners can expect the NILS project to develop extensions similar to the FGDC standards which the Washington partners have developed. We can expect some differences in content, naming, and formatting, and to make compromises on some of these differences. But, we will end up with a national standard which will make cadastral communications and analysis possible between a wider set of organizations. The NILS project manager would like to have one or more representatives of the Washington Cadastral Framework Project attend between four and eight sessions from June through October. Project partners have agreed upon DNR participating in several meetings and then reassessing the value of continuing. The NILS requirements will be released after completion in December.
The remaining tasks for the project are to establish the check-out/in procedures, integrate data using standard procedures, develop database backup/recovery procedures, and define a plan for continuing to support the cadastral framework database and its maintenance. If time and funding permit, then notification procedures appear to be the next priority. As the FGDC supported development project draws to a close, the transition to a supported application system must be made. The development project is just a first step. The integration of cadastral data will go on and noticeable improvements in data quality, coverage, and integration tools will be made.

Oldstyle Figures
by Ilene Strizver
Oldstyle figures are a style of numeral which approximate lowercase letterforms by having an x-height and varying ascenders and descenders. They are considerably different from the more common "lining" (or "aligning") figures which are all-cap height and typically monospaced in text faces so that they line up vertically on charts. Oldstyle figures have more of a traditional, classic look. They are only available for certain typefaces, sometimes as the regular numerals in a font, but more often within a supplementary or expert font. The figures are proportionately spaced, eliminating the white spaces that result from monospaced lining figures, especially around the numeral one.
Oldstyle figures are very useful and quite beautiful when set within text. Unlike lining figures, they blend in without disturbing the color of the body copy. They also work well in headlines since they're not as intrusive as lining figures. In fact, many people prefer them overall for most uses except charts and tables. It's well worth the extra effort to track down and obtain typefaces with oldstyle numerals; the fonts that contain them might well become some of your favorites.

Candy Crush 109 | Candy Crush Guide
Right now there is an urgent problem online. Candy Crush Saga has become the number 1 gaming app in the world but the difficulty of several specific levels has become a roadblock for many of us! Too many people are sacrificing valuable social lives to get better at this game. The time it takes to pass several key levels and the frustration of the game is sucking the potential fun away. This has caused many of us to give up and miss out on all the game has to offer. This is what happened to me. You see, I'm probably a lot like you. Some days I would truck right along passing level after level thinking this game is easy. It was during those times that I just couldn't see what all the fuss is about. Then, as it usually does, just as soon as my confidence was built up and I was making great progress all of a sudden I would find myself stuck on a level that I couldn't pass for weeks! Talk about frustrating. Actually, "frustrating" is not a strong enough word, it sucked! That's actually why I built this website. The more I talked to people the more I realized that I wasn't the only one who was kind of addicted to this game. Better yet, I wasn't the only one who would spend hours and sometimes days just trying to beat the next level. It was crazy! You may be wondering why this site is entitled Candy Crush 109. Well, that would be a good question and the reason is that was the first level to haunt my dreams! I mean no matter what I did, I could not pass it. I would have done anything just to see the beautiful "level 110″ pop up on my screen. Long story short, as you can probably guess I was able to beat it.. finally… Fast forward a few months this site was born. Anyway, I digress… In the end my goal is to not let this happen to you. My name is Pete and I'm a Candy Crush Addict. There I said it.. That's the first step right I hope you find this site and guide useful and ultimately my goal is to not let my experience happen to you!

Unique Promise
I can remember it vividly. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon that turned it all around for me. I had just woken up from an afternoon power nap and I was surfing the net as I usually do when I found "it." This was it. I had finally discovered the blueprint that ultimately allowed me to level up faster and with more ease that I could have ever expected. Better yet it allowed me to do it without sacrificing any more of my precious time and social life. This guide I'm going to show you lays it out there in a way that describes some of the best techniques and most effective strategies to specifically dominate all of the most difficult levels in no time. Yes, even Level 109!
Unquestionable Proof
I'm really not sure how much proof I can provide in just a few sentences but I do want to highlight two things that I learned from the guide that helped me tremendously and will probably help you. First I learned how to get unlimited lives. As you know, once you run out of lives, its pretty much game over for the day. This trick along was probably worth the price of the guide in lives saved. Second, I learned how to get a ton of boosts and charms to level up faster. I did grab a few quotes from others that have used the guide just to give you a quick perspective from a few others as well.
I just started under a week ago and am completely amazed at the information in this guide. I never thought someone else's strategies could have helped me so much! My friends are jealous of my scores. If they only knew my secret..
- Steven M.
This guide has changed how I play Candy Crush, even more than I thought was possible. Without the guide, I spent 1 week getting to Level 30 but after using the secrets, it only took me 3 more days to get to Level 97 and now I'm on cruise control.

Yea It Worked For Them, But What About Me?
I know what you're probably thinking. Sure this little guide worked for a few guys mentioned above but will it work for me? How easy is this guide to follow? Is there a huge learning curve before it starts to help you? These are all great questions and all I can tell you is once you open the guide up and begin reading you can see how actionable these tips and hints are. They will immediately help take your game up a few notches. Once you complete the guide there is no reason you cannot be a Crush master. It worked for me and will work for you.

We are fired up for Halloween and the requisite patches of pumpkins that abound. With so so many engaging gardens and farms, it's hard to know where to begin or where to branch out and newly explore. Behold our favorite nine farms, organized by (approximate) travel time. Your little goblins will be out of their gourd if you take them to any of the following fabulous farms.
In About an Hour You Can Be Here:
Bauman's Farm and Garden
We're coming out of the gate strong. BF&G offers heaps of mind-blowing action. You can bet the farm your pirates and princesses will have the best day-o-pumpkin-play ever. Here's just some of what's in store: giant slide, several mazes, tire pyramid, nut house, animal barn, obstacle course, rock wall, zip line, hayride, frontier fort, little kid play area, apple cannon, and a ginormous jumping pillow! Lots to do and lots of it is covered so go whether it's raining or shining. Options vary based on whether you visit on a weekday or weekend, so be sure to check the website before your trip.
French Prairie Gardens
Their web site tells it like it is: pumpkin patch, pig races, mazes and more! Go getcha some glee at this farm-fabulous destination. The Pigtucky Derby alone makes it worth checking out. However you don't wanna miss the pig trains, kids maze with a Thomas theme, tire swings, slide land, farm band instruments and hop along horse bouncers. We could not make up such a fabu way to say hip hip for pumpkins! Make hay-ste to French Prairie Gardens any time from September 29th on.
Rasmussen Farms
One of Hood River's many farmadises, these cool cats bring it at orange squash-pickin' time. Their Pumpkin Funland is trademarked! This year's theme of Children's Literature will surely turn heads – 50 displays of pumpkins strong. Strike a pose at the pumpkin bowling lanes and dash the corn maze, then swing by some of the other pump-tastic farms in the area on the way home. We say fruit. You say loop.
30 Minutes to Rock:
Roloff Farms
Our favorite famous farm family, from the TV show Little People Big World, Roloff Farms attracts everybody new to or visiting the state of Oregon in October. They also shine with a petting zoo featuring exotic animals like a baby tiger and pygmy porcupines and a their hay pyramid earns a big gold star for keeping the little ghouls busy for a few hours.
Lakeview Farms
Hands down one of the best adventures to be had when it comes to Portland pumpkin patching. Even midweek you can climb aboard the pumpkin express to the pumpkin patch. The pontoon boat ride through the lake of surprises is fam-friendly and truly unique! Face-painting, photo ops, and hay pyramids also on hand. What's up awesome?
Bizi Farms
Those in the know in Vancouver tried to keep this one from us. But the word is OUT. Bizi Farms has it going on and we should all go stat. Included in the admission cost of $9 for any body over 2, comes a free pumpkin, warm drink, wagon ride, and a chance to harness our inner cowpokes. Live music, pedal tractors and a covered corn maze round out the action. Go north for this, young westerners, the orangiest show in Clark County.
Closest to Home – Portland's Best
Plumper Pumpkin Patch
This working farmapalooza is a must-visit with all the pumpkin patch must-haves like: train and hay rides, mazes, tube and hay slides, and tasty treats in the farm store. They make our short-list for the superb add-ons like tire climbing, play structures, tee pee, pumpkin bowling AND croquet, grain jumping, an obstacle course and a fallow field with hay fort. Well hellooooo Plumper!
Bella Organic Pumpkin Farm
We really, really miss the bouncy house but we'll forgive Bella Organic almost anything. After all, they gots organic and non-organic pumpkins and just enough activities to keep the little farmhands busy. Hop aboard the cow train and hay rides or get lost in the hay mazes and VooDoo Donuts corn maze. Best of all – have your little piggies feed theirs.
The Pumpkin Patch
Their animal barn alone is reason to go. It's legit. It was a dairy barn for decades and now it's home to Elvis the rooster (among others). In peak season they roll several cow trains and hay rides and the lines STILL can be long, so bring your best people-watching sunglasses. Their corn maze is up and running and so is their huge pyramid of hay. See ya there for some instagram-worthy grins.

DALLAS -- When Big Tex burned last October, Texas State Fair goers felt as if they'd lost an old friend; after all, Big Tex had been a fixture at the fair since 1952.
But most fairgoers probably don't know that Tex hasn't always been at the fair. He has traveled out of state.
In 1953, Roger Reynolds, a Dallas salesman and local president of the Jaycees, got a bright idea: why not take Big Tex to show off at the National Jaycees Convention in Minneapolis?
His children know the story well.
"I don't think it came as a surprise to us that he would pull off something like this," said Reynolds' daughter, Nancy. "That's the kind of person he was."
Son, Rusty Reynolds, heard the story all the time when he was growing up.
"Every time the fair would come around, Dad would bring up Big Tex," Rusty said. "He would say, 'You know we took that thing up to Minneapolis.'"
It took some fast talking, but Reynolds managed to raise the $4,000 needed to transport Tex by rail the 852 miles to Minneapolis. He did it by hitting up many of Dallas' movers and shakers for donations. The first donation came from then-mayor and Fair Park President R.L. Thornton.
But news of Big Tex's travels came as a surprise to present-day State Fair officials, like Sue Gooding.
"We don't think of Big Tex leaving Fair Park," she said. "The interesting thing is, that it was a competition back then -- that everything in Texas is bigger and better."
Tex and the Dallas Jaycees made the trip bigger and better by taking a marching band and high-stepping dancers all dressed up in cowboy hats and boots. The big party was captured by TV station KSTP-TV in Minneapolis. In that old film, the locals clearly seem impressed with the tall Texan, if not a bit amused with the convention's main attraction.
Although, the 1953 trip up north was the first time Big Tex stepped off fair grounds, it was not the last time.
Later, in 1955, Big Tex went out west for the 50th homecoming at then-Abilene Christian College. Big Tex was also a man about town, making a couple of appearances in downtown Dallas and at the Trade Mart.
But when Big Tex returns to the fair next fall, State Fair officials say his boots will stay firmly planted at Big Tex Circle. Tex is such a big deal now that he's a registered trademark and State Fair officials say when he comes back, he'll be home to stay at Fair Park.
As of Friday, Jan. 18 state fairgoers have raised more than $37,000 to help restore Tex to his former glory and get him back home to Fair Park.

Sykes Wishes Limbaugh Would Die, But NBC Uses It To Say Rush's Ruining the GOP
On Monday morning's Today, NBC seemed to respond to Wanda Sykes making jokes about hoping Rush Limbaugh being the 20t terrorist and hoping his kidneys would fail...by making the issue Limbaugh's potential to be a liability for the Republicans. There was no question whether Wanda Sykes was a liability for the Democrats, or the White House correspondents who invited her to wish Limbaugh dead on a national stage. In a report by NBC's Savannah Guthrie (complete with the on-screen question "Is Limbaugh a Liability To The GOP?"), Rush was controversial, while Sykes was apparently just funny:
GUTHRIE: Meantime over the weekend, radio host Rush Limbaugh continued to dominate the political conversation in Washington.
OBAMA: The Republican Party does not qualify for a bailout. Rush Limbaugh does not count as a troubled asset. I'm sorry.
GUTHRIE: On Sunday, former Vice President Dick Cheney, was asked if he had to choose between having Limbaugh or former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who endorsed Obama, in the Republican Party, the former VP did not hesitate.
DICK CHENEY: Well if I had to choose, in terms of being a Republican, I'd go with Rush Limbaugh I think. I think, my take on it was that Colin had already left the party. I didn't know he was still a Republican.
GUTHRIE: But some say comedian Wanda Sykes, Saturday night's entertainer at the dinner, took the criticism of Limbaugh too far.
WANDA SYKES: I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just so strung out on Oxycontin, he missed his flight. Too much? Okay. Okay.
GUTHRIE: Well back to those health care savings we're gonna hear about today. It's unclear how much will get in the way of specifics. And senior administration officials acknowledge a lot of the savings that we're talking about are dependent on health care reform getting done, Meredith.
MRC's Geoffrey Dickens also found that David Gregory was interviewed, and he agreed that Sykes went too far: "I think there were a lot of people in the room who thought it was off the rails, gone too far." (By that segment, NBC's on-screen question was "Did White House Dinner Go Too Far?") But Gregory was more insistent that Dick Cheney was a major liability for the refashioning Republicans:
GREGORY: So he's made a decision to be rather activist out there in his criticism. Those in the White House think he is being quite undignified in his behavior and they take issue with him. And they're gonna continue to do that. So this will be a debate that's gonna play out in public for while.
VIEIRA: Yeah how about fellow Republicans, that now he is the face of the party?
GREGORY: Well I think it's a problem to the extent that the Republican Party is looking for a way to be a constructively, to, to constructively oppose the President and to be a constructive opposition party. And to the extent that Dick Cheney is an activist voice, a major voice of the Republican Party, that does not help them find new leadership going forward. He is gonna be an important voice, but he's really not the kind of leadership voice that they want going forward. And look, a lot of Republicans today are trying to find distance from Bush and Cheney, as they try to refashion their image, refashion the face of the party. So I think it's counterproductive to the extent that Cheney and Rush Limbaugh are the leading voices. It, it crowds out the new face, that new leadership opportunity for the party.
The regular Today crew found nothing at all objectionable about the Sykes routine:
ROKER: He had the room going. He really did. Had a couple of funny lines about Rahm Emanuel and John Boehner so you know-
LAUER: It's always a bit of an interesting night and, and usually there is at least one joke that comes out that we end up talking about the next day-
ROKER: Yeah.
LAUER: -because it does cross the line a little bit but it doesn't seem like any major injuries for this one.
VIEIRA: Not that I heard of, no.
LAUER: No.
ROKER: No.

State lawmakers are advancing a measure meant to make it legal for students to pray before public school groups.
House Bill 1112, sponsored by Rep. Mark Formby, a Picayune Republican, was approved unanimously Monday by the House Education Committee.
It suggests naming events including morning announcements, football games and graduations as "limited public forums" choosing students to speak at each. The bill says schools can't punish students who pray, and sponsors say the aim is to promote such prayer.
The bill bans teachers from penalizing students for expressing religious views in schoolwork. It requires allowing students to organize prayer groups and religious clubs and allowing outside religious groups to use school facilities in the same way as nonreligious groups.
The bill goes to the House for more debate.

Blog submitted by Dr David
Hunter Cherwek
Dr David Hunter Cherwek has been a member of the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital since June 2005. During this time, he has served as staff ophthalmologist, lead ophthalmologist, medical director of the Flying Eye Hospital, Director of the Flying Eye Hospital and is currently serving as the medical director for ORBIS International.
During the recent Flying Eye Hospital program in Trujillo, Peru, I experienced one of the most intense moments of déjà vu of my life in the middle of a very busy Screening Clinic in pediatric ophthalmology. For those of you unfamiliar with an ORBIS screening clinic, this is the day when the local host hospital presents up to 30 cases in a particular sub-specialty to ORBIS volunteer faculty, of which an average of 10-15 will be selected for surgery during the week. Multiply that by an average of 5 sub-specialty clinics per screening day (glaucoma, cornea, retina, pediatrics, etc) and you suddenly find yourself amidst 100-125 patients awaiting examination and further treatment.
During this particular screening, I saw a young boy waiting with his mother on a bench and automatically recognized that I had walked him down the stairs of the plane after surgery during a previous program. My "double-take" also caught the attention of the young boy's mother who grabbed my arm and reached in her purse to pull out a photo album. She quickly showed me a picture from the 2006 Flying Eye Hospital program in Chiclayo, Peru, with her son and me at the base of the stairs of the Flying Eye Hospital just after the boy's operation.
I quickly emailed the ORBIS NY office to get his 2006 chart and Rebecca Saxton-Fox, the Flying Eye Hospital coordinator, responded immediately with his chart by sending me a scanned copy. During the 2006 program, we treated his pediatric glaucoma and since that program the young boy had developed a cataract which we were asked by our host to evaluate during this program. I was very pleased to learn that our pediatric volunteer faculty member, Dr Douglas Frederick, found this boy's case to be a great teaching case for the local doctors with a positive prognosis and was able to perform his cataract surgery aboard the Flying Eye Hospital. Once again I was able to see this young boy benefit from our team's efforts.

Officers with the Iowa City Police Department arrested and charged a man with attempted murder after an assault with a hammer.
A report of a fight came in just before 6:00 Sunday morning at the Pedestrian Mall, near the intersection of Dubuque Street and Washington Street.
The fight was between two males. One of them was hitting the other with a hammer. Officers observed a male with a hammer in his hand and another male a few feet away bleeding.
Officers took the man with the hammer into custody. The victim was transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for treatment of his injuries, which are believed to be non-life threatening.
An investigation found the man approached the victim while he was sleeping on a bench and started hitting him in the head repeatedly with the hammer. The suspect stated he assaulted the victim because he thought he was a person he had a fight with previously, but then admitted that after the assault, he realized he had the wrong guy.
Police arrested 61-year-old Richard John Hoyt. He's charged with attempted murder and was taken to the Johnson County Jail. This case remains under investigation and additional charges are possible.

PEORIA, Ill -- While Congress remains on a month-long summer recess many lawmakers are meeting with constituents to discuss the most pressing issues in Washington.
Congressman Aaron Schock (R) met with Peoria-area business leaders Friday to explain the comprehensive tax reform he is working on.
"Really taking the 70,000 page tax code and throwing it out of the window and boiling it down to a couple of pieces of paper is the ultimate goal," said Rep. Schock.
Congressman Schock has been working with the ways and means committee for two years on individual and corporate tax reform. He said they have agreed to reform that is revenue neutral.
"So nobody's taxes are going to go up or down. We're going to collect the same amount of revenue, but we're going to get rid of all the complexities in the tax code."
On the individual side, which actually includes about 80% of business, they hope the change from 6 tax rates to just two.
"It would be 10% tax on roughly your first $50,000 or $60,000 and then everything over that would be taxed at roughly 25%," he said.
Right now the U.S. has the highest corporate tax code in the world at 43%. By comparison, Canada sits at just 15%.
Rep. Schock said, "It would come down to 25% by getting rid of a lot of the deductions and loopholes."
After deductions, Caterpillar pays about 28-30% tax. A Cat spokesman says they are a big proponent of tax reform and the sooner the better to help all those involved.
"The domino effect of improvement at the corporate level, translating down to better economic health for individual employees," said Jim Baumgartner, Caterpillar's Director of corporate public affairs.
Congressman Schock hopes for a vote on the matter sometime this fall. But the fate of the bill is still uncertain with Washington gridlock near an all time high and Congress' approval rating still near an all time low.

GreenBytes also makes a point of saying it can support both persistent or full virtual desktops (which change state as the user makes updates, keeping configurations and personalizations from session to session) as well as linked clones (which do not store and maintain user changes) or some mixture of both types. The company's inline deduplication technology adds value to all types of deployment scenarios and gives virtual desktop architects the flexibility to choose based on real business needs.
What happens when you've already invested in local SSD, a PCIe-based flash card or a flash-based storage controller and external flash storage for your VDI environment? In that case, GreenBytes has split out its IO Offload Engine's software from the hardware appliance, making it available for use with other flash storage vendor platforms. This new virtual storage appliance is called the vIO (pronounced "vee-oh").
According to the company, the vIO enables consistent and persistent virtual desktops with the infrastructure and architecture already in place, at a market-leading price point -- although as of this writing, pricing was not disclosed.
"It is the simplest way to deploy desktop virtualization, from departmental to cloud-scale," said Steve O'Donnell, chairman and CEO, GreenBytes. "All the cost, performance, and user experience advantages of the IO Offload Engine are now available to smaller enterprises, cloud-scale service providers and OEMs with the vIO."
The vIO was designed to be cloud-scalable, meaning it can easily be expanded to handle future virtual desktop growth by simply adding another vIO instance to the mix. The company said a single vIO is designed to provide enough IO offload for around 100 or more persistent or nonpersistent virtual desktops. But if an organization plans for a 1,000-plus virtual desktop deployment, it should consider going with a preconfigured IO Offload Engine hardware appliance, which can support up to 4,500 persistent desktops over 10GbE iSCSI or 8Gb or 16Gb Fibre Channel.
The GreenBytes vIO virtual storage appliance will be generally available on March 1.
Is a solution like this the answer to your VDI concerns? Will this storage and IOPS offering be enough to finally make your company pull the trigger on a virtual desktop strategy? If not, what else is holding you back? What's missing?
This article, "GreenBytes attacks storage costs and IO bottlenecks within VDI," was originally published at InfoWorld.com. Follow the latest developments in virtualization and cloud computing at InfoWorld.com.

I want to print an existing dwf file to printer in a network programmatically with c# code. I tried acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll but i did not know which class and method should i use.
please help me...
Solved! Go to Solution.
if you really mean DWF (and not DWG) then you should look either in the >>>forum for DesignReview<<< or, if the DWF is loadable in your Internet Explorer then you should look into the IE-lib for printing.
The acdbmgd.dll and acmgd.dll are AutoCAD-libs and are not used to print a DWF as long as you don't want to insert it into an AutoCAD-drawing and do a plot then from AutoCAD (what's a long way round).
- alfred -
Thanks alfred, first I have searched a week to find a way to print DWG file but i did not find anything and just i found some applications to convert DWG to DWF. so i thought that i should convert my DWG file to DWF and then print the DWF file.
Is there any way to print DWG file directly with c# code??
Please help me...
>> Is there any way to print DWG file directly with c# code??
Yes, there exists a lot of code around the world, e.g. >>>this from Kean Walmsley<<<
- alfred -
Thanks alot. however that code is for DWF files(not DWG files), so i should convert my DWG file to DWF before start to plotting it, am i right?
>> however that code is for DWF files(not DWG files)
No, not in the way you mean. The code shows how AutoCAD has to be used for plotting via C# (plot a DWG).
And that you think it's for DWF (because in the code the word "DWF" appears) ==>the code's result is a "plotted DWF-file", but you can change the code to plot to any other plotter, just set it to your plotter- (and page-) -properties.
- alfred -
ahaa... Thanks alot again. now i am got it. excuse me for my beginner questions, but it is the last one :
How can i change the plotter from file to printer? How should i change the string parameter of "SetPlotConfigurationName" method to send my DWG file to printer?
look to the PC3-files you have plus the paper-sizes defined for each plotter. You can therefor start AutoCAD, open the _PLOT-dialog and there you have the info what is configured on your machine and so what's ready for use.

None of this means Tehran isn't building a fighter to do what this one's supposed to, but the one here could simply never fly.

Lady Knights control tempo, ease past Brevard 3-0
Thu. October 10, 2013 at 10:06 p.m. | By Brittany Jackson
North Henderson's Caroline Marsh (7) and Brevard's Mackenzie McNiel (3) go for the ball Thursday night at North Henderson High School. (Photo by MIKE DIRKS/ TIMES-NEWS)
Neither team came into the match ready to play, but the difference Thursday was North Henderson quickly transitioned into win mode.
The Lady Knights stuck to the basics while visiting Brevard couldn't catch a break long enough to turn things around Thursday at Tom Pryor Gymnasium, as North went on to win its 20th match of the season, 3-0 (25-20, 25-15, 25-14).
"We controlled the tempo of the game and never allowed Brevard to get into their game; they're much better than they played (Thursday)," said North coach Sue Moon. "I was worried about how we came out because I don't know that we were mentally ready, but the girls quickly turned that around and played a solid game."
The offensive dual threat of Caroline Marsh (23 kills, seven blocks) and Cameron Pryor (20 kills) kept the Lady Knights in control, as did North's passing. Jonnie Petree had 16 digs and 14 service points and Chelsa Cannon had 11 digs.
"We've been working a lot in practice on not letting balls drop; I thought our back row did a nice job of passing. We've also been working on limiting our unforced errors," Moon said.
Meanwhile, the unforced errors abounded for the Lady Blue Devils (19-5, 8-5 WNC Athletic Conference), who led once early in the first set before North scored five straight points to go up 12-10 and never surrendered the lead again.
North setters Alex Oates (26) and Kim Cannon (14) combined for 40 assists.
For Brevard, Ashley McBee finished with nine kills and 11 digs, Hunter Parrish had 11 digs, Mackenzie McNiel had eight assists and 14 digs and Rachel Cassell had 13 assists and six digs.
The Lady Knights (20-2, 11-2 WNCAC) will travel to Owen on Monday before returning home Tuesday to host Smoky Mountain for their final conference match. Brevard will host Pisgah on Tuesday to close its conference season before traveling to North Buncombe on Wednesday.
The first round of the state playoffs is Oct. 19.
Brevard's JV team won in a come-from-behind 2-1 match.

NORWOOD — Eleven of the 100 schools considered South sectional teams appeared before an MIAA Football Subcommittee Tuesday to appeal their placement in the new football playoff format.
The appeals, held at Norwood High School, were the next step in a process that started when the playoff proposal passed in a statewide vote in October. The new format has six divisions as opposed to nine last fall. The MIAA slotted schools based on enrollment, and a variety of other factors. Sixteen North schools will appeal Wednesday in Burlington. The MIAA will announce decisions by Friday.

The study of climate change has fueled the need for more detailed scientific data, and scientists at the University of Maine are doing their part to try and make it easier to collect some of those data.
UMaine scientists Mark Wells and Carl Tripp, and their colleague Whitney King at Colby College, recently received a nearly $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation to continue their work in developing a sensor to measure the micronutrients iron and copper in ocean water.
These metals are important for sustaining the natural growth of phytoplankton — tiny plants that not only serve as the foundation to the marine ecosystems, but also sequester carbon dioxide, the predominant greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
Currently, the process to measure iron and copper is time consuming, requiring that water samples be collected individually from large research vessels and be brought back to the lab for analysis.
"Even then, you can only get [measurements] from one spot at a specific time," Wells said.
Compared to the millions of measurements available for major nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate in the ocean, there are only about 3,000 to 4,000 iron measurements, and only about 400 of those are from the deep ocean. There are even fewer measurements of copper.
"Scientists need far more data on iron levels in surface and deep ocean waters to model climate change more effectively," Wells said. "And there is emerging evidence that copper also will be important in this goal."
The ultimate goal is to create a small sensor for measuring iron and copper that can be attached to a mooring, to drifting floats that travel vertically to collect data, or to underwater gliders. Gliders would be ideal, Wells said, because their underwater travel is controlled remotely and their data-gathering sensors can run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Until recently, we were a very long way away from developing such a sensor," Wells said. But his work with Tripp, King, UMaine doctoral graduate Cuihong Jiang and doctoral candidate Eric Roy over the last three years has led to the development of a novel nano-structured surface that is able to selectively bind iron from seawater using a combination of nanotechnology and biology.
"That's a big challenge because iron in the open ocean is at very, very low levels," Wells said. "To put it in perspective, we must measure a drop of food coloring added to an Olympic size pool. The difference between a drop and half a drop could have major consequences for how much carbon dioxide phytoplankton can sequester."
Using the four-year NSF grant, the researchers will modify their nano-structured surface so that it can be incorporated into a prototype sensing device for deploying on ocean observing platforms.
The joint research program will be done at UMaine and Colby College, and will provide both graduate and undergraduate students hands-on experiences in science and research fields.

As a result of the recent events the University of Rhode Island has announced some major changes to the 2013 graduation ceremony and some students are less than pleased.
The main commencement ceremony which has been held outdoors in the quad in the past will be held at the Thomas M. Ryan Center on May 19. This marks the second time since 2009 the ceremony will take place in the Ryan Center.
Each student will be limited to inviting two guests inside the 8,500 seat venue, however, the school says it is at the individual school that family and friends will watch the students cross the stage and get their diplomas.
"The decision to activate our alternative location plan this year was made after a review of multiple alternatives and a thorough examination of best practices for ensuring safety at such a large and critical event," said President Dooley. "Recent events remind us all that, even in the safety of our own communities, we must be vigilant. These events have reinforced our resolve to improve all that we do to ensure the safety of our community. We want everyone who attends our 2013 Commencement ceremonies to have a day full of joy and pride. That begins with doing all we can to provide a safe environment for our celebrations."
Students say they feel blind sided and they don't think that the University should live in fear. Students Kelly Harris and Jacqueline Atkins, started a petition to move the graduation back to the quad. She says she already has over 900 signatures.
On twitter, #quad13 is trending as students discuss the matter and a Facebook page to move the graduation back to the quad has been made.
The school says as part of precautionary measures students and guests should be aware that all bags may be subject to search and backpacks and duffle bags are prohibited.

The Ohio St. Buckeyes lost a commitment from four-star linebacker Alex Anzalone a couple weeks ago after a SB Nation report revealed a registered Kentucky sex offender named Charles Eric Waugh had gained access to Anzalone during an Ohio State visit. Anzalone's father railed against the Buckeyes for allowing his son to come in contact with Waugh before granting that the school couldn't have done much to avoid it.
Coach Urban Meyer can't directly talk about a recruit by name, as that's a NCAA violation, but he's now broadly addressed the topic.
"I didn't know anything about it. So it's alarming,'' Meyer said in a wide-ranging chat shared by the AP. "The first thing you think about is safety of your players and the safety of the university. The good thing is Ohio State acted very quickly, I mean very quickly. Recruiting, you'll hear a million different stories. It's the stories that you have no control over that are the most bothersome. And that was obviously one we had no control over.''
According to reports, Anzalone is still considering the Buckeyes.
