Popular late night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel says he won't change his style or become more "family friendly" now that the ABC network has moved his show to the earlier spot, 10:35 cst, formerly occupied by Nightline.
"There's this idea that you need to broaden the show or make it ... more
wholesome or something like that. And I think that's a little bit
out-of-date, that perception," Kimmel said.
It's Kimmel's hope that the move to 10:35 will help his show take the lead in the late night race among himself and superstars Jay Leno and David Letterman.
According to the Associate Press, Leno claims the top talk-show spot with some 3.5 million average
viewers, followed by Letterman on CBS with 2.8 million. "Jimmy Kimmel
Live" was drawing under 2 million nightly viewers at 12:05 Eastern but,
according to Nielsen Co. ratings, finished up 2012 with a 10-year
viewership high.
The Associated Press also said whether Kimmel gets a jump on his opponents-to-be - with Jimmy Fallon
the expected pick for "Tonight" - being the late-night ruler is a far
different proposition than in Johnny Carson's day. The "Tonight"
institution, operating virtually unopposed, could average a nightly
audience of as much as 15 million.
Watch Jimmy Kimmel's show starting Tuesday, January 8, 2013, at 10:35 pm. on KLTV, followed by Nightline at 11L35 p.m. This change will be occurring across all ABC affiliates.

The Buccaneers signed running back Carnell 'Cadillac' Williams to his one-year tender contract on Wednesday. Williams was a restricted free agent that had the second highest possible tender placed on him. Any team that would have signed Williams away from Tampa Bay would have to compensate the Buccaneers with a first-round pick.
The 5-foot-11, 217-pound Williams will have a slight pay increase in 2010. Next season he is slated to earn $2.22 million compared to $2.09 million last season. Williams enters the offseason healthy for the first time in years. After sustaining serious knee injuries in 2007 and 2008, Williams played in all 16 games in 2009 and led Tampa Bay in rushing. He ran for 823 yards with four touchdowns and averaged 3.9 yards per carry.
Williams, 28, is fifth all-time in Bucs history in rushing with 3,240 yards. He has played in 54 career games and averaged 3.8 yards per carry in his career with 18 touchdowns. For his career he has 88 receptions for 554 yards and three touchdowns. Williams was the rookie of the year after being the fifth-overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. That year Williams ran for 1,178 yards and six touchdowns while leading the Buccaneers to an NFC South championship.
Along with signing Williams, Tampa Bay claimed guard/tackle Michael Shumard off waivers from the Denver Broncos. Shumard (6-5, 301) was undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M that signed with Denver after the 2010 NFL Draft. In 2009 Shumard made three starts at guard and eight at tackle. In 2008 he started all season at left tackle. The Bucs also released tackle Robert Okeafor.
After signing Williams, Jeremy Trueblood, Barrett Ruud, Maurice Stovall, Elbert Mack, and Clifton Smith the only Bucs player that has yet to sign his tender offer is left tackle Donald Penn.

CRESWELL — The wolves look ghostly at night, ears pricked up, eyes like highbeams in the dark.
In a single evening, Jett Ferebee might see five or six of them reddish-brown, sniffing at the camera mounted on his Washington County farm. They build dens in his tractor shelter. They feed on his rabbits. They drag deer carcasses into the woods. They eat the animals his family used to hunt.
Ferebees land lies at the western edge of the Red Wolf Recovery Program, a 27-year federal project aimed at restoring to the far-eastern edge of North Carolina one of natures most fragile species. For the last decade, he has waged constant battle over the private land he describes as ruined by wolves, coyotes and the super-coyotes they breed.
He has watched the government try to frighten wolves off his property with air horns. They come back.
He has allowed it to set leg traps on his land to capture and relocate wandering wolves. They come back.
He has repeatedly sought a permit to shoot the wolves that pester him, as the law instructs him to do. He hasnt gotten one.
It used to be cool to hear a wolf howl, said Ferebee, 55. Too much of a good thing.
Ferebees fight exposes a deep cultural clash between those who would artificially restore a predator species on mostly private land and the landowners who live in the middle of the governments science project. Hunters feel their way of life stripped away to make room for a wolf that chases the same prey; conservationists feel undermined by a small group of landowners who put private property over public good.
And then there are the coyotes, a species that complicates the human-canine mix.
Smaller, almost impossible to distinguish from their red wolf cousins, coyotes have flooded into wolf territory, prompting the federal government to sterilize them and limit wolf-coyote breeding.
But Ferebee sees coyotes running with wolves on his farm, some of them wearing government tracking collars, others wearing plain fur. Hes showed pictures to wildlife officials who shrug their shoulders over which animal is which.
The confusion has grown so tangled that conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit last fall, aiming to stop all coyote hunting in the five-county area where wolves thrive.
The red wolf is more in peril in the wild than most endangered species, said Sierra Weaver, senior attorney with the Southern Envirnomental Law Center, arguing before U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle on Tuesday in a hearing.
But to Ferebee, its time to call off the experiment. Over five days in January, a trapper caught three wolves with tracking collars and two wolf hybrids on his farm. On the sixth day, Ferebee photographed three more collared canines.
Hey guys, he said. It was a just cause. But its not working.
Wolf incubator
About 10 miles from Ferebees farm, Kim Wheeler of the nonprofit Red Wolf Coalition shows off a pair of ambassador wolves, a sleek male and female raised in captivity.
This is Betty, she says, motioning to the den made of dirt, rubble and corrugated pipe. This is Hank.
Red wolves contribute to the region as a top predator, said David Rabon, coordinator of the program for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Farmers praise wolves for feeding on nutria, large rodents that bore into their dikes, and for keeping raccoons at bay.
But for most people, the wolves offer a compelling stop on the beach route from Raleigh to the Outer Banks, just a short side-trip south of Columbia and the Scuppernong River.
Red wolves avoid humans, making them nearly impossible to see in the wild. In eight years, Wheeler has seen a wild red wolf only twice. Last year, she brought 2,000 visitors to Hank and Bettys pen, sometimes leading visitors in a howl.
I had a couple come from Japan, she said. We get a lot of school groups here. Hank and Betty are on Facebook, too. Maybe someday somebody will come and rent kayaks and bikes.
Her vision marks the slow growth of the governments wolf incubator, a program with an annual budget of roughly $1.1 million.
In 1987, red wolves had almost completely vanished, their breed hunted and chased almost to extinction.
Federal wildlife officials pinned down the last of their kind along the Louisiana-Texas border, and they whittled that group down to 14 deemed genetically red pure wolves no coyote blood in their veins.
They planted a hopeful seed in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, not far from Hank and Bettys pen, releasing just four pairs of wolves into the dense thicket.
Back then, the red wolf territory spanned only 259,000 acres, half the size of Wake County.
But the government had the stated goal of expanding both the wolf population and the land it covered. Before long, wolf land expanded into Dare, Hyde, Beaufort, Tyrrell and Washington counties a 1.7 million-acre red wolf habitat, the vast majority of it private land.
Wildlife officials chose far-eastern North Carolina largely because it lacked coyotes to mix with wolves and absorb their tiny number. Also, they argued, the sparse human population would minimize any damage or inconvenience even to hunters competing for prey.
Red wolves and sportsmen can coexist, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in its first five-year report, published in 1992.
But by 1999, the coyote population had spread so thick across the five counties that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed them as the greatest threat to wolf survival, citing the potential for coyotes and wolves to interbreed.
Proposals for dealing with the coyote threat ranged from killing them to fencing in refuge land.
The government took a different path: the placeholder strategy now used to combat coyote populations. Male and female coyotes found with wolves are trapped and sterilized through vasectomy or tubal ligation, using local veterinarians.
Those sterile coyotes then hold a place within wolf packs, keeping away fertile wolves who might invade territory and create wolf-coyote hybrids. As of February, 61 sterilized coyotes were wearing tracking collars.
Rabon, coordinator of the governments red wolf program, described placeholders as highly effective against interbreeding and having minimized the threats pointed out in 1999.
I dont know about super-coyotes, Rabon said, dismissing the local nickname for hybrids. They dont assume super powers, though. They dont take down deer in a single bite.
Ferebee and other landowners are skeptical and say the wolf program has spiraled dangerously out of control. How, they ask, can the government patrol the coyote population ranging over 1.7 million acres? Based on the animals he finds on his farm, he believes the populations of both animals are larger than the government knows.
He notes that Rabon co-authored a report in 2013 that described the coyote sterilization strategy as heavy-handed and short term.
Youre on peoples private property trapping coyotes and sterilizing them? Ferebee asked. How contrary to Mother Nature is that?
Resentment started early
To date, there are no known red wolf attacks on humans and few documented livestock kills.
Still, resentment started building early on. Though red wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act, locals were promised that they would be classified as nonessential and experimental, giving landowners more leeway in dealing with them.
All of this is an experiment, said Michael Bulleri, attorney for the N.C. Department of Justice, arguing against a coyote hunting ban before Judge Boyle last week.
Before the program turned 5 years old, both Hyde and Washington counties adopted resolutions opposing expansion.
They argued that a new pack of wild predators would negatively affect their land, and they resented being forced to host the governments science project on their property.
Ferebee, a real estate developer in Greenville, trains bird dogs on his land in Washington County, which covers more than 1,000 acres. Ten years ago, he said, you could see herds of 100 deer most any time of day. He planted food plots to lure them, along with vegetation to encourage quail nesting. His family spent holidays there, and their living room wall is lined with trophy bucks. A bearskin rug covers the floor.
It might sound small, Ferebee said. But thats what I bought the land for.
In a rural region where hunting is almost second nature, where hunting clubs cover thousands of acres and shooters travel from distant states for a chance at North Carolina wildlife, it is impossible to overstate the importance of sport shooting.
Over the 2012-2013 season, hunters in Beaufort took roughly 2,800 deer about the same number as in Wake County, where the population is 20 times higher.
So in 1995, eight years into the program, the federal government outlined new rules for landowners troubled by wolves. First: Call to have them removed. Second: Seek a permit to kill problem wolves.
In 10 years, the government has trapped collared wolves all over Ferebees land. But he has coyotes running rampant there, too, some of them wearing collars that show theyve been sterilized.
Neighbors encourage him to shoot the wolves in the gut and let them crawl off his property to die. He refuses. He continually urges his neighbors and fellow hunters against taking the law in their hands.
Im a goody two-shoes, he said. Ive never tasted alcohol. I dont curse. I dont want to kill a red wolf. To be honest, it would make me sick. But the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should not be making us criminals.
Fewer deer for hunters
Consider that the white-tailed deer harvest has dropped in nearly all five wolf counties. Its not a drastic drop, and sometimes its quite small. But Hyde County saw deer numbers drop 27 percent in the last five years; Tyrrell County, 12 percent; Beaufort County, 9.8 percent.
Dr. Tony Christiano, a Greenville cardiologist, owns about 450 acres outside Belhaven, where he has hunted deer and duck, turkey and quail for decades.
Ten years ago, hed see 30 to 50 deer in an afternoon. Now, he might see four or five. He used to guarantee visitors hed show them a covey of birds on each trip. No more.
Its not uncommon to see coyotes or wolves or whatever you want to call them hunting in the fields just before daylight, he said.
In Hyde County, Phil Barber is part-owner of Lux Farms, a private hunting club next to the Alligator River refuge. He estimates deer, rabbit and quail numbers have dropped by half in the nine years since he bought the property.
In that time, he said, he has called the Fish and Wildlife Service at least 20 times and asked them to remove wolves from his land. Once removed, the wolves quickly return.
Its a vicious cycle, he said. Most of the (wolf/coyote) scat that you see, especially when the fawns are dropping in the spring, youre seeing scat that has deer fur in it. Its pretty obvious.
Relief for landowners depends on what they expect, Rabon said. Canids of some kind, whether wolves or coyotes, will always be in the area.
With Mr. Ferebee, he said, weve been very successful removing animals from his property when hes called us. But its temporary. Theyre going to come back. Something is going to come back.
Evin Stanford, deer and turkey biologist with the state Wildlife Resources Commission, notes that the deer population has dropped statewide, largely thanks to more hunters taking does.
He doubts the red wolves are making a significant dent, and if they are, there are no hard data to support the claim.
I dont hear a lot of hunters in that area talk about red wolves, he said. I hear constantly, statewide, about coyotes.
Uneasy mix
Kim Wheeler drives around Columbia, where the Red Wolf coalition is headquartered, in a car with WOLFNANY on her license plate.
Sometimes, wearing her red wolf T-shirt in the grocery store, cashiers will ask about the program, telling her they didnt know the animals lived nearby. Other times, shell get singled out in the aisles by red wolf opponents who want to argue.
With a sales and marketing background, she has been able to draw support for the wolves from Kazakhstan to Hong Kong to Norway, judging from petitions signed in their favor. Support at home is harder.
Unlike anything Ive ever experienced in my life, she said. Id like to think that in 2014 we are beyond prejudice.
Rabon, with the Fish and Wildlife Service, said opposition isnt pervasive. Cultural differences in Eastern North Carolina make it difficult for people to support a government-funded predator program.
A lot of them will work with us, he said. But theyre not going to advertise it. Theyre not going to put a bumper sticker on their car.
Fourteen red wolves died in 2013 that the coalition knows about, including nine dead by suspected or confirmed gunshot wounds. Another wolf was found killed, apparently shot, on Jan. 7.
Because of the similarity of appearance between red wolves and coyotes, it is nearly impossible for individual hunters to avoid shooting red wolves, said the lawsuit that the Red Wolf Coalition and other wildlife groups filed against the state.
If successful, the suit could stop coyote hunting altogether in the five eastern counties. If it does, expect more trouble in the uneasy mix between man and beast.

Angela Chadd, 37, of Imperial, was killed in an early morning car accident Wednesday (Jan. 16) on Miller Road, east of Spring Forest Drive, Imperial, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP).
According to the MSHP, Chadd was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Daniel McGrath, 49, of Ballwin, that was travelling eastbound on Miller Road. McGrath failed to negotiate a turn, ran off the road, struck a rock and a tree and then overturned.
Chadd was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:52 a.m. by the Rock Township Ambulance District staff. McGrath sustained minor injuries and was taken to St. Anthony's Medical Center, according to the MSRP. Neither Chadd nor McGrath were wearing a seat belt, the MSHP stated.

Although the proposed rule won't immediately affect plants already operating, it eventually would force the government to limit emissions from the existing power plant fleet, which accounts for a third of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Obama has given the Environmental Protection Agency until next summer to propose those regulations.
The EPA provided The Associated Press with details of the proposal prior to the official announcement, which was expected Friday morning. The public will have a chance to comment on the rule before it becomes final.
Despite some tweaks, the rule packs the same punch as one announced last year, which was widely criticized by industry and Republicans as effectively banning any new coal projects in the U.S.
That's because to meet the standard, new coal-fired power plants would need to install expensive technology to capture carbon dioxide and bury it underground. No coal-fired power plant has done that yet, in large part because of the cost. And those plants that the EPA points to as potential models, such as a coal plant being built in Kemper County, Miss., by Southern Co., have received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants and tax credits.
Coal, which is already struggling to compete with cheap natural gas, accounts for 40 percent of U.S. electricity, a share that was already shrinking. And natural gas would need no additional pollution controls to comply.

Wimbledon pensioner is burgled of his trousers
6:00pm Wednesday 17th October 2012 in News
A burglar went so far as to steal a pensioner's trousers and tobacco from his bedroom as his victim slept.
William Bishop, 76, from Woodstock Way, Mitcham, was fast asleep when an intruder broke in and ransacked his home in the early hours of Saturday.
Mr Bishop, a retired bus driver, realised he had been burgled when he woke up and could not find his tobacco or trousers – which contained his wallet, credit cards and £220 in cash.
He said: "The first thing I look for in the morning is a cup of tea and a fag but I couldn't find my tobacco. I went to get dressed and realised they had stolen my trousers.
"They had come into my bedroom and taken my trousers when I was sleeping.
"Then I saw that the front door was slightly open and that's when I realised I had been burgled."
Mr Bishop said he had been left unsettled by the break in and simple information about the locking mechanism of his new front door could have prevented it.
He said: "I had a wooden door for five years and when the door shuts that's it.
"I had a new PVC door fitted six months ago and after you shut it you have to lift the handle. Nobody told me that. If I had known that it wouldn't have happened.
"If there are any elderly people they need to know that after they shut the door they need to lock the door by lifting the handle."
A spokesman for Merton police confirmed a burglary had been reported and that they were investigating.

University of Extrication: Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Identification

Other significant items addressed in the new J2990 Standard require manufacturers to design their vehicles with a minimum of two out of a possible four methods to shut down the high-voltage (HV) electrical system. Automatic shutdown of the high-voltage system is the primary and preferred HV shutdown method from a responder perspective as it means that upon significant impact, the HV electrical system automatically shuts down even before we get the call.
A second HV shutdown primary disabling method that also complies with J2990 shuts down the HV system when a responder turns off the ignition at the key or power/stop button. A third, optional design that is acceptable allows the cutting or disconnecting the cables of the 12-volt electrical system to also shut down the high-voltage system as well. In this case, responder "cut labels" also have to be provided to indicate which cables need to be cut or disconnected to accomplish shutdown.
The fourth method of HV electrical system shutdown for a hybrid or electric vehicle involves designing the manual disconnect device to be accessible and designed for use by responder personnel without any special or unique electrical protective gear. These disconnects will all be orange in color to standardize their identification at crash scenes.
It would be well worth fire service agencies obtaining a copy of this new Standard from the SAE and studying its contents. This is a major victory for the fire service; one that we need to understand better before we can realize how significantly this document will improve our safety and increase our efficiency at a hybrid or electric plug-in vehicle incident.
TASK: The rescue team shall review the SAE J2990 document and determine how the requirements of this Standard will impact responder safety and rescue operations at incidents involving a hybrid or electric plug-in vehicle.

Question 3 on the Massachusetts ballot in 2012 proposes to allow marijuana to be cultivated and sold in Massachusetts for the use of qualifying patients. To qualify, a patient must have been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition, such as cancer, glaucoma, HIV-positive status or AIDS, hepatitis C, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or multiple sclerosis. The patient would also have to obtain a written certification, from a physician with whom the patient has a bona fide physician-patient relationship, that the patient has a specific debilitating medical condition and would likely obtain a net benefit from medical use of marijuana.
I recommend a vote of YES in support of medical marijuana in Massachusetts.
My recommendation is based on several independent, but related, factors:
- Marijuana is medically beneficial to certain patients.
- This is a clear-cut states' rights issue.
- The harm that might arise from the passage of this law is being exaggerated by its opponents, and the benefit from passing the law far exceeds any potential harm.
- I support the lessening of restrictions on marijuana in general, and medical marijuana laws in other states have led to a change in attitude about marijuana and a better understanding that it is far less harmful than most other illegal drugs and deserves to be treated differently.

Call it a bounce back from near collapse.
Just a few years ago, employees at one of mid-Michigan's biggest employers didn't know how long they would have jobs.
Jill Dralle knows that best.
"In some ways, it's hard to believe we are where we are at today," said Dralle.
Dralle worked as a research and development engineer for 20 years and said she didn't know if the steering and driveline facility in Buena Vista Township would make it.
Nexteer bought the former Delphi plant during the times of turmoil, and the work has survived.
Dralle is now a plant manager at Nexteer, and she said it's an excellent thing to see.
"When I hired in, General Motors was like about it, but since then, we now supply 50 customers worldwide, and that has just been a phenomenal thing to watch," said Dralle.
At this year's Global Leadership Conference, Nexteer leaders announced they're healthy, so healthy that they're looking to expand their workforce and are ready to hire an additional 70 engineers in the next few months.
"We keep focusing on diversifying, growing in every region, diversifying customers, so actually every week we're pursuing new business, and we've been adding at a very high success rate," said Nexteer President Laurent Bresson.
"Let's call it the traumatic events from, lets say six years ago. The world has completely changed," said Nexteer's Vice- resident Frank Lubischer.
Innovative ways have helped increase the bottom line for Nexteer.
"We've streamlined our processes. We have sustained during the downturn. We have kept and even further developed our technology skills and technology management, and that is what we are profiting from today," said Lubischer.
This has led to the ability to hire more people to staff the needs they have, success that the Mid-Michigan region needs to hear.
"It's certainly, definitely, a vote of confidence in our engineering ability, our technical ability, as well as all of the hourly people that work for us and the talent they bring to the table," said Dralle.
If you would like to apply to one of the technical jobs, you can find the Nexteer website by clicking here.

After overwhelming support from the community, the Adrian Police Department has identified the suspect in a burglary that occurred last fall.
The burglary occurred in Adrian, MI Oct. 22.
At least one suspect broke into the West Pointe Party Shoppe. The next day, an individual attempted to redeem lottery tickets stolen during the burglary at Speedway in Adrian. Photographs of a suspect obtained from Speedway show an individual attempting to redeem the stolen tickets.
The subject in the photograph was identified, and is cooperating in the investigation of the case.
It appears at this point, he unwittingly attempted to redeem the lottery tickets without knowledge that they were stolen. However, the identity of the subject who committed the burglary has been determined, and the investigation is being completed at this time.
Warrant requests are expected to be submitted to the Lenawee County Prosecutor's Office before the end of the week.

FRANCEVILLE, Gabon (AP) -- The remaining teams at the African Cup of Nations were trying to focus on the quarterfinals on Thursday, a day after the sport was left reeling by mass deaths at a game in Egypt.
Gabon coach Gernot Rohr said it was "very sad, very bad" after at least 74 people were killed in violent clashes between rival supporters at a league match on Wednesday.
Goalkeeper Didier Ovono added it was "not normal" that people should die in a stadium while Africa was celebrating its colorful continental showpiece.
Co-host Gabon plays Mali, Ghana plays Tunisia, Ivory Coast faces Equatorial Guinea and Zambia takes on Sudan in the quarterfinals this weekend, enticing matchups involving top-ranked teams alongside hopeful -- and so far successful -- underdogs.
But the celebrations will be put on hold when all four quarterfinals are preceded by a minute's silence in honor of the football fans who died when they were beaten, stabbed and crushed against a wall after a game in Port Said.
"We are sad because while we are in the middle of playing in the most beautiful festival of African football, there are people dying in a stadium," Ovono said. "I'm truly sad for the Egyptian people. Football should be a party, not somewhere for settling scores."
Rohr added: "It is not normal that players are attacked and that people must die in the stadium. I think it is very, very sad, very bad for football."
Ivory Coast coach Francois Zahoui called it "a tragedy" and "a great pity."
"We are there to give joy and spread enthusiasm to the people and if around the stadium there is only death and sadness, then we feel bad," Zahoui said.
Even after what FIFA President Sepp Blatter described as "a black day for football" and CAF President Issa Hayatou saying the game in Africa was "in a state of mourning," the African Cup will continue.
Zambia and Sudan open the knockout stages in Bata, Equatorial Guinea on Saturday, followed by Ivory Coast-Equatorial Guinea. On Sunday it's Gabon-Mali and Ghana-Tunisia.
The Zambians have been inspired at this tournament by memories of their own tragedy, the 1993 plane crash off the coast of the Gabonese capital Libreville -- venue for the Feb. 12 final -- where 18 members of the national team died.
Sudan, meanwhile, qualified for the quarterfinals for the first time in 42 years when it ended a run of 11 games at the African Cup without a win.
Equatorial Guinea will undoubtedly rely on its underdog status, and a surge of home support at Estadio de Malabo in the capital, to carry it to what would be a stunning upset over the Ivorians.
"They have experienced players but I don't know whether the pressure will affect them," Equatorial Guinea coach Gilson Paulo said.
Zahoui's Ivory Coast has yet to hit top form despite winning all three of its group games without conceding a goal, and the star-peppered squad is likely to be too good for the home team as it sets its sights on the final.
"It's against the host country on their home pitch. We will expect to suffer but we want to win," Zahoui said.
Gabon's attempt to get past Mali and into the semifinals could produce a classic with Rohr's buoyant team -- with presidential backing -- riding high after surprisingly finishing top of Group C with victories over Morocco and Tunisia.
"What does Gabon need to beat Mali? Mental strength, heart and lots and lots of hard work," goalkeeper Ovono said as the Gabonese got ready to unleash their free-flowing style on Mali's defensively disciplined lineup at a packed Stade de l'Amitie in Libreville.
Ghana, like Ivory Coast, has yet to find its best form but still progressed comfortably from the group stage.
Sami Trabelsi's well-organized Tunisia, however, will be the biggest test yet to the Black Stars' title challenge when they meet in Franceville to decide the last semifinalist.
"I think Tunisia has the quality to beat any opponent. We don't think about the name of the teams," Trabelsi said.

OotP Page Size
Hey guys - there was a question a little while back, because of an illusion on the ad for OotP, about whether or not the pages of the American versions of OotP would be wider than those in GoF. The answer is no, they are not wider. Your OotP will fit nicely on your shelf next to your GoF, PoA, CoS and SS.

SARANAC LAKE — A Gabriels man was charged with two felonies after he tried to grab back meth from an officer, police said.
And Tuesday evening, authorities converged on a home at 1867 Alder Bend Road in Altona, investigating a possible meth lab.
"This is a husband-and-wife team," Clinton County Sheriff Dave Favro said, expressing frustration over the increasing number of methamphetamine incidents.
Shortly before 7 a.m., Saranac Lake Police Patrol Officer Casey Reardon stopped a pickup truck driven by Peter Yaglou, 54, for not having a front license plate, Police Chief Bruce Nason said.
After Reardon found that Yaglou had methamphetamine in his possession, Yaglou attempted to grab the drugs from Reardon and turned to flee, according a Saranac Lake Police Department press release.
Reardon was able to apprehend Yaglou within a few steps, according to the release.
The meth was separated into three bags of about a gram each, said Nason. Each gram of meth has a street value of about $100.
Between three and four grams of marijuana were also found in Yaglou's possession, he said.
The drugs would be sent to a New York State Police lab to obtain a certified weight.
Yaglou was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony; second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony; second-degree obstructing governmental administration, a misdemeanor; and resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.
He was arraigned in Saranac Lake Village Court and sent to Franklin County Jail in lieu of $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond.
Yaglou's court date was not available Tuesday.
The investigation was ongoing, and more charges were pending, Nason said.
Favro said Tuesday's raid in Altona resulted from a tip gained during an interview.
"We secured a warrant from Town of Altona Court," he said.

3.41/5 rDev -18.4%
A brand spanking new brewpub in Savoy. So, of coarse I have to check it out. They will also be distributing to a few places in downtown Champaign. They have either already sent out kegs, or will very shortly.
A small L shaped bar with a few tables scattered about. The brewing equipment is displayed on the left. The LCD screens scroll to let you know what is on tap. Some board games, and you can bring in food if you want. That is it. Pretty bare bones.
The service is friendly, just one guy behind the bar. He is more than happy to talk shop and answer any questions.
The beer leaves something to be desired for me. I love some of the styles they are doing. They had two true session ales. Though neither were that good. A nitro cherry chocolate stout. An Oatmeal Stout, and a hoppy amber. Along with a light beer, which is nothing more than a macro for people that don't like anything else, and an apricot beer (the light beer with fruit added). No thanks on those two. There is a cask about once a week. They will do growlers as well, but have an odd way of cleaning and packaging them though.
Overall, I like the people, and it is great that Savoy has a place like this. Though, the beer just did not hit with me. Blind Pig is still king here. Though it is a fun place to chill for a bit.

Stopped in at Triptych this weekend. It's pretty raw because they just opened but it has some great potential. There is a small bar that seats around 10 people and they have some tables set up as well. The bartender was friendly. They had 6 of their beers on tap, the only taps in the place and also do growler fills. I got a flight of 4 for 5 dollars and then tried the other 2 as well. They had a Maibock, Red Ale, English Brown Ale, Weizenbock, a coffee English Brown Ale, and a Black IPA. None of them were bad and none were great, all were really solid beers. I'll definitely be back and will continue to support them over in Savoy, IL.

Named for the three brewers who came from separate paths of life, this is a small brewery located just a few buildings down from the dojo my family used to go to. I never in a million years would have guessed that this rural "suburb" of a college town, known mainly for its airport and golf course, would develop its own brewery.
Upon entering, the brewery is to the left--showing off a small system and stainless steel conical fermenters. Straight ahead from the doors is the long bar, with a seating area to the right of that. They serve no food, but do have a snack machine for some available munchies. I also spotted a couple of Four Roses Bourbon barrels aging in the tasting room...what boozy secrets might they be hiding? My family and I all bellied up to the bar and we split a sampler of all the beers. The beer menu was unique: three large TV screens above the bar with a listing of the beers that rotated through each beer and gave brewing, ABV% and hop details on each. I would have loved to talk to one of the brewers/owners, but they were all off at GABF in Denver that week.
I liked a lot of the eight beers I tried at Triptych. My favorite was the Dirty Hippy, and English style low alcohol mild--I could have a few pints of this and be very happy. Second on my list was an apple beer, made with cider from the local Curtis Orchard, where I used to visit in my childhood. They have been doing a series of single hopped beers called Hop School, and they Centennial was on tap during my visit. I found it a bit harsh and vegetal, but like the idea of trying this type of thing commercially. Sorry I missed the Citra version! I also found the Double IPA to be a bit rough--I wonder if the water profile out there is hurting their hoppier beers. Overall well worth a trip to visit, and I feel like they will continue to grow as a brewery over next couple of years.

Just got back from my first visit here, and I'm definitely impressed! I was a bit skeptical of what the environment would be like going in, considering Triptych is located in a commercial office building area of Savoy, but they did a really nice job of imparting a relaxed coffee-shop-esque sort of feel to the space. There's a nice bar with about 8 seats right in front of you when you walk in, and off to the right about 10 tables (including an AWESOME chess board table made out of grains!). The menu is on a three panel LCD board that cycles through with nice photography to go with each beer they offered; a nice touch.
As far as the beer goes, I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely my favorite of the breweries operating in Champaign (Destihl and Blind Pig Brewery being the other two), I really liked the Imperial IPA and its intense fruity / citrus notes without over the top bitterness. The English Pale Ale was nicely malty and very good, and the Scottish Session Ale and Oatmeal Stout were also solid. I'm not a huge fan of fruit beers, but for those that like cherry stouts, the Valentine would be superb.
I definitely see myself returning here often!

I've been to Triptych close to a half- dozen times since it opened, and every time I was very pleased with the atmosphere, service, and most importantly the beer. Their Imperial IPA is quite good, and a little more balanced than what is typical for the style. I also enjoyed their Blonde and both of their Stouts greatly. I've talked with two of the three owners, and they're great guys. Anthony, the head brewer, is really easy to talk to and definitely knows his stuff. He was telling me that he's going to try to gear some of their beers towards sessionable brews. They want folks to be able to come to their brewery, have a few beers, and be safely on their way home. I love The Blind Pig, but there's something about Triptych that makes it worth the drive to Savoy for an evening of good beer and good people.

CATEGORIES MoviesDon't worry, "X-Men" fans; you only have to wait another year-and-a-half before erasing the bad taste of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" from your mouth. Twentieth Century Fox has set July 26, 2013 as the official release date for "The Wolverine."
Despite its poor critical response, "X-Men Origins" went on to gross $373 million worldwide, so a sequel was pretty much guaranteed -- though getting it off the ground proved difficult. Director Darren Aronofsky was initially attached to the project, but dropped out in March of 2011; James Mangold ("Walk the Line") took over last summer, and will direct the sequel, with Christopher McQuarrie writing the script.
Little is known about the plot, but it's expected to take place in Japan and feature many Japanese-speaking characters. Looking at Jackman's upcoming schedule, he will likely have to shoot "Wolverine" right after starring as Jean Veljean in the adaptation of "Les Miserables," which is set to hit theaters on Dec. 7.

Tony Matelli, the New York-based artist who is represented by Marlborough Chelsea and who has previously exhibited with the gallery formerly known as Leo Koenig Inc., is currently the subject of an exhibition at the college's Davis Museum.
