Driver cited after fatal crash on icy, foggy I-80
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) _ The Wyoming Highway Patrol has ticketed a California driver over a fatal crash involving multiple semitrailers on Interstate 80 in a dense fog about 15 miles east of Laramie.
Troopers say that at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, with black ice forming on the roadway, Harvinder Sidhu of Lathrop was driving a truck that clipped a semitrailer that was slowing because of a separate crash ahead of them.
A truck driven by Irakli Metskhvarishvili then struck Sidhu's trailer, causing Sidhu's trailer to roll, and both their vehicles caught fire. Metskhvarishvili, of Bensalem, Pa., died in the fire.
Another trailer then struck Sidhu's vehicle.
Troopers said Monday that Sidhu was cited with failure to use extreme caution. They say Sidhu was going too fast for conditions.

The joy of fatherhood can quickly be interrupted by unexpected twists and turns in daily life. We do our best to prepare our children for these occasions – let's call them "bumps in the road" – that we know they will inevitably face. Over the past 30 years or so, the ever increasing presence of law enforcement in the lives of our children has created new challenges for them as well as for us as parents.

OptiLED (Booth # 624) debuts its new High Intensity Vorticular Enclosure (HIVE) modular system, part of the Modular Optical Array Series.
The HIVE's modular design makes it suitable for large lighting projects from flood lighting buildings and large architectural features to theatrical productions or underwater applications.
The HIVE module is a revolutionary building block approach to lighting with the capability to rapidly create larger arrays of units for greater lighting intensities and effects. Using a hexagonal design, each module interconnects and passes power and data to other units in the array. With a slot-in design between modules, the array can be built to virtually any size or shape. Each module uses three high-powered LEDs, including red, green, and blue, allowing for color mixing and lighting effects. Each is also capable of producing 16.7 million colors under DMX512 control.
The Optical Array lights come standard with a 16-degree diffuser, factory-fitted option of 25-degree, 50-degree, and 80-degree spherical diffusers, and 2x70 degree line or 10x60 degree elliptical diffusers. Each optical array can produce six different light patterns. With the standard 16-degree material, the light becomes highly collimated. The 80-degree diffuser can produce a wash effect for large-scale "wall washing" or for larger projection. The 2x70 and 10x60 diffuser create line or elliptical effects for edge lighting applications or where sharper line effects are required.
The first product featuring the HIVE module is the Modular Optical Array S-1, which holds an IP68 rating and can be used in fully submersible applications as well as normal dry, open conditions or locations. The S-1 is fully DMX512 controllable, creating a display of up to 16.7 million colors at 256 levels of intensity. With a low voltage power supply and power consumption of only five watts per module, the Optical Array and long-life LEDs are suitable for applications such as water fountains and pools.
The HIVE module will be available in linear and spherical modular units with power supply and tertiary optics fitted as standard. All technical specifications are preliminary and subject to modification.
OptiLED will also be exhibiting its Designer Dimmable Series, an LED lamp that features lighting intensity control in a familiar form factor, with outer dimensions identical to an ordinary halogen MR16. The Dimmable offers full performance at 12V DC or AC and dimming capability from 10V down to 3V, where it operates at candle glow. The series offers the same optical and light projection capabilities as the traditional LED Designer Series, along with a revolutionary snap-on ring mounting for the diffusers. At 50.5 by 38.5 mm, it can be used in most indoor and weather-protected outdoor fixtures and applications, including theatres and cinemas, amusement parks, architectural features, landscape accents, retail, museums, and hospitality.
The Dimmable features a polycarbonate face and base and aluminium housing and comes standard with a four-degree diffuser. It can be used for spot lighting objects with variable light intensities or for longer-distance lighting applications. Nine diffuser options are available, with choices of spherical and elliptical or line effect diffusers. It is available in five colors, including red, green, blue, amber, and white.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - It's been a long and embarrassing week for Cuyahoga County government.
Commissioner Jimmy Dimora dragged into federal court along with two county judges.
Former Auditor Frank Russo pleads guilty and faces 21 years in jail.
So why is County Prosecutor Bill Mason and his staff golfing? It's Friday, a work day at Ridgewood Golf Course in Parma.
"It's an office golf outing. It's one event for the Prosecutor's Office. It's been going on for 35 years," said County Prosecutor, Bill Mason.
Cuyahoga is facing a historic criminal, financial and image crisis but Mason's staff is hitting a little white ball around on a work day.
Some people would see this has bad form. Why have it this year?
"Every single office has something like this. Do thing for comradery and goodwill for the office. We have been doing this for 35 years," said Mason.
Mason also said he thought about canceling it.
"We decided to go forward," said Mason.
On Thursday Mason's office lost the only corruption case the feds gave him. The owner of the Mirage Club in Cleveland and two of his family members were up on charges and got off.
24 hours later Mason is golfing so after 11 years in office and between golf outings did Bill Mason ever hear the rumors Jimmy Dimora and Frank Russo were making back door deals?
"I'm telling you no. We would have done something about it. The feds have been on this for 3 years so obviously they learned something," said Mason.
Bill says everybody paid their own way. He couldn't tell me how many staff members were playing out of the 100 on the course but they all took vacation days.
We're double checking but with this type of county corruption crisis, Mr. Mason with all due respect, we're calling this one - just plain wrong.

---- — The Lobstah Crackah — a Cape Ann adaptation of the holiday classic "The Nutcracker" — returns to the stage beginning tonight at the Lester Wass American Legion post hall in Gloucester.
The multi-generational cast of locals will perform the original work, produced by Gloucester's Henry Allen.
The show tells the tale of the mysterious Uncle Drawsumbuttah, who arrives at the mayor's holiday party bearing gifts for all — including a giant LobstahCrackah for his sassy niece named Clarafied.
The story evolves from this point in this homespun holiday extravaganza, which includes many other memorable scenes including "Dancing Scrod" and other characters.
Show times are tonight through Saturday, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. The Legion hall is located at 8 Washington St., at the Joan of Arc statue.
The suggested donation is $20, and seniors/veterans/students $15, but no one will be turned away, Allen said.
For more information, visit henryallen.org or call 978-704-1269.

Where America Practices
Yoga has long had a stronghold in major metropolises like Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco, where vibrant yoga scenes feed off a smorgasbord of studios and styles, great instruction from master teachers, contemporary innovations like AcroYoga, and energizing classes where the collective enthusiasm of a hundred students can make for a radically uplifting practice.
But yoga is also flourishing in smaller cities and towns across the nation, each of which has its own unique yoga scene to offer. In Manitou Springs, Colorado, you can drop in to the town's city hall for a donation-based yoga class. In Sun City, Arizona, you can join the more than 200 retirees whose yoga club practices six times a week. Bozeman, Montana, boasts more yoga studios (eight) than gates at the local airport (five).
In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, hundreds of people join local kirtan wallah Ragani for a monthly kirtan night, a tradition celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
It's inspiring to see how the country's many yoga communities embrace the practice and adapt it to suit their local style. To celebrate the variety and uniqueness of yoga in the United States, we put together a list of 10 towns where your practice (and your life) can be shaped by that magic combination of ingredients that nurtures a thriving yoga community: Gorgeous studios and world-class yoga instruction. Beautiful scenery and proximity to nature. A culture of healthful living. Like-minded people who value service, giving back, and balance. And above all, a sense that your community and surroundings are a source of support and inspiration.
Asheville, North Carolina
The Scene: There can't be very many towns in the United States where you can take a yoga class just about any time of the day, listen to one of six local kirtan bands, get your harmonium repaired, and undergo the supervised Ayurvedic cleansing program known as panchakarma. But for yoga practitioners in Asheville, that's only the beginning of what makes their community great.
In a telling indicator of the cooperative vibe among the studios here, students can find the entire town's offerings at a glance on the website of the Greater Asheville Yoga Association. Visiting yoga greats include Doug Keller, Kino MacGregor, Rod Stryker, and David Swenson. But Asheville residents have plenty of local instructors to choose from, too, at studios like Asheville Community Yoga, which offers all of its classes by donation; Lighten Up, the town's first Iyengar studio; West Asheville Yoga, host to regular kirtan events; and Asheville Yoga Center, which has a full schedule of classes and workshops.
The town is also a hub of alternative healing, with three Ayurvedic centers, including the Blue Lotus Ayurveda and Panchakarma Clinic and Day Spa. In the spring of 2011, the local Laughing Waters Retreat Center hosted A Day of Yoga and Healing, during which more than 15 local yoga teachers offered classes in different styles as well as workshops on Ayurveda and meditation.
Some claim that nearby Mount Mitchell is a vortex and repository of spiritual teachings. Regardless of your faith in vortexes, the town's proximity to the forests and trails of the Blue Ridge Mountains makes Asheville a great place to hike, bike, and otherwise enjoy the outdoors.
Fun Fact: Asheville has been named the "most vegetarian-friendly" small city in America by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Shout Out: "People in Asheville are really in tune with how we're connected with the web of life," says Jackie Dobrinska, a yoga teacher who co-founded the Greater Asheville Yoga Association. "We're always thinking about how we can be mindful of that connection."
Austin, Texas
The Scene: The city that proudly bears the slogan "Keep Austin Weird" boasts an exuberance and a largeness of spirit that are the hallmarks of the town's yoga community. Maybe because of Austin's eclectic nature—a thriving live-music scene, combined with the intellectual richness that comes from being a university town as well as the state capital—yoga manifests itself in all kinds of ways, on and off the mat. Renowned Ashtanga teacher David Swenson calls Austin home. Ashtanga, Anusara, and Baptiste Power Yoga thrive here, as do many other styles (hiking yoga, paddleboard yoga, or MP3 power yoga, anyone?). On Austin's annual Free Day of Yoga in September, studios all over town offer free classes to attract beginners and give others a chance to try a new style. And every October, Lululemon Athletica sponsors Yogasm, a free festival of art, music, and yoga featuring artists like MC Yogi and Govinda that attracts more than 1,000 people to Republic Square Park.
Jyl Kutsche, who co-founded Community Yoga Austin, a nonprofit studio that offers donation-based classes whose proceeds help bring yoga to students, prisoners, and the elderly, says the open-minded culture is the reason new ideas catch on so quickly in Austin. "There's no idea you could throw at people here that they'd think is too crazy. It's more like, 'OK, let's do it. Yoga on paddleboards? Bring it on!'"
That might explain why Austin is the birthplace of MedMob, a movement of meditation meet-ups across the country, spread virally through Facebook and other social media. Founded by a group of local yoga teachers, including the owner of donation-based Black Swan Yoga, the group's goal is to expose more people to meditation and show how simple acts create major shifts.
Fun Fact: Lance Armstrong, one of Austin's most famous residents, tweets about his yoga practice, and restorative yoga classes for cyclists are offered regularly at his bike shop, Mellow Johnny's.
Shout Out: "Austin has so many events that tie in music, yoga, and community,"says yoga teacher Malia Scott. "The scene is really alive here—so exuberant, diverse, and fun!"
Boulder, Colorado
The Scene: There's no getting around it: A city with a reputation for being one of the healthiest, happiest, most livable places in the country, Boulder has an unbeatable yoga scene, too. Richard Freeman, the master Ashtanga Yoga teacher in the tradition of K. Pattabhi Jois, has taught at his studio here, Yoga Workshop, for more than two decades. Master teachers of all styles—everyone from Nicki Doane to Rod Stryker to the kirtan wallah Girish—offer workshops at Om Time yoga, located smack downtown. Other popular studios include the Iyengar Yoga Center of Boulder; CorePower Yoga, which has three locations in town; and Studio Be Yoga, which offers classes in styles from Anusara to Yin. Just a half hour away is Shoshoni Yoga Retreat, where you can immerse yourself in yoga and meditation.
High-caliber athletes are drawn to Boulder for its combination of high-altitude air, nearly year-round sunshine, and wide open spaces (which are so loved that residents voted for higher taxes to maintain them). "It's such a pleasure to teach here because people are so incredibly fit," says Anusara Yoga teacher Amy Ippoliti, who lives just outside of town. "But that intense athleticism is somehow balanced by a spaciousness of spirit that you can't help but feel when you see all that open prairie leading up to the vast mountains."
A similar balance is evident in Boulder's equal embrace of the entrepreneurial and the contemplative. The town, which has been called the Silicon Valley of the Rockies, is home to TechStars—a mentorship and seed-money program for startups—as well as the University of Colorado, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and Naropa University, a liberal arts school founded by the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche that emphasizes meditation and compassion along with traditional Western academics. "People here are über-positive and über-creative, and that gets reflected in their practice," Ippoliti says.
Fun Fact: The yoga lifestyle is big business here, and not just for studio owners. The Boulder area is the birthplace of the organic yoga clothing and product companies Prana and Gaiam, the spiritual book and audio publisher Sounds True, the pharmacy chain Pharmaca, and the yoga music recording label White Swan Records, to name a few.
Shout Out: "In big cities, people do yoga to stay sane," says Valerie D'Ambrosio, who organized Boulder's Hanuman Festival, a four-day yoga and music event. "In Boulder, people do yoga to come back to what matters. It's more about a craving for connection to Self and to community and to the Divine."
Encinitas, California
The Scene: Some of the biggest yoga movements in the country got their start in this laid-back coastal town. Paramahansa Yogananda completed his Autobiography of a Yogi on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean here in 1945, giving birth to a spiritual legacy that continues to thrive through the Self-Realization Fellowship. And in 1975, David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff brought Sri K. Pattabhi Jois to this beach town in San Diego County on his first trip to the United States, essentially anointing Encinitas as the birthplace of Ashtanga in America. Jois returned many times over the course of two decades and called Encinitas his American home.
Opportunities to find sanctuary here are many. Tim Miller, the first American to be certified by Jois, runs the Ashtanga Yoga Center in neighboring Carlsbad, where students can choose from a variety of classes or do an independent Mysore-style practice. This year, the Jois family opened Jois Yoga, a studio that aims to become the Western counterpart of the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in Mysore. Just down the highway is the internationally known Chopra Center for Wellbeing, which offers workshops on meditation and holistic health.
Fun Fact: There's a surfing spot in Encinitas known to surfers around the world as "Swami's," after Paramahansa Yogananda, whose Self-Realization Fellowship Temple sits on the cliff above.
Shout Out: "There's a very special energy here," says Lynn Alley, a longtime yoga teacher at the Chopra Center. "The closeness to nature that you feel here, to the ocean, to history—it expresses itself in so many ways."
Minneapolis, Minnesota
The Scene: The adaptive yoga workshop at the nonprofit Mind Body Solutions, which draws participants from all over the world to the Minneapolis area, is a teacher training program like no other. Its creator, Iyengar Yoga teacher Matthew Sanford, developed the training based on his own experience of living with paralysis from the chest down. Sanford's studio, Mind Body Solutions, located in nearby Minnetonka, offers classes for traditional students and adaptive yoga classes for those with mobility issues, who are assisted into postures as a way of deepening the connection between mind and body—a connection Sanford says is available to everyone.
Since 2009, Sanford's adaptive yoga training program has trained more than 100 yogis to teach students with disabilities. "I want to be a resource for other teachers and students, to get as many teachers as possible in the Twin Cities teaching a wide range of abilities and disabilities," Sanford says.
Yoga is truly for everyone in Minneapolis. The city has a long tradition of supporting philanthropy and volunteer work, and that same spirit thrives in the yoga community. The nonprofit studio One Yoga partners with a variety of other local nonprofit groups to bring on-site yoga classes to those in need. The studio's instructors have taught yoga at the bedsides of people with life-threatening illnesses, to teen mothers, and to Spanish-speaking immigrants enrolled in English-language courses.
Yoga is also the impetus behind monthly community fundraising events organized by the Gorilla Yogis, who use social media to draw up to 300 yogis to a designated spot—whether it's a baseball field, an art gallery, a music venue, or the banks of the Mississippi. Local instructors offer classes for a suggested donation, with proceeds benefiting a different local nonprofit each month.
Fun Fact: The City of Lakes is also a city of parks: It has more than 180 parks and 6,732 acres of parkland and water, including some 50 miles of trails for walking, running, and biking year-round.
Shout Out: "We have a lot of yoga here, but there's also this spark of energy you can feel, that people are craving more than just the physical aspects," says Jessica Rosenberg, co-creator of the Gorilla Yogis. "How do you combine breath and movement to become whole, and then carry that energy off the mat?"

This topic can possibly be merged with the J'eon Love one.
What do you think about Mayweather Promotions after its successful night with all fighters winning and one earning a world title? I know there was a lot of suspicion surrounding MP - Its survivability, management, success. Although we can't give a definite answers after one great night for the stable, I think it shows that they are onto something to say the least.
I feel like they really care about their fighters and that there is a lot of potential. Of course, all companies are like that before the money start talking, but I don't know. Just have that feeling and I am curious about the future of Mayweather Promotions.
P.S. Sad to hear uncle Roger is still not doing well.

Kind of my point exactly!
Floyd looked genuinely happy for Ishe in the post-fight interview. Nothing like Arum's "I just made milions of dollars ou of your ass" happiness, but real happiness. I like it. I really am curious about what the future holds for MP.
Yeap... trying to be genuine in helping others always produces good results.... Ishe Smith never gave up and Floyd helped him.. the whole thing is positive.... Great work Mayweather and the money team!!

Super Bowl XLVII: Vonta Leach leads the way for Ray RiceComment
The Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl in part because of Vonta Leach's ability to pave a path for Ray Rice to follow. If that involves sticking his helmet into the chest of a 300-pound defensive lineman, then so be it.

Chest anatomy
Surface projections of the organs of the trunk, with chest region seen stretching down to approximately the end of the oblique lung fissure anteriorly, but more deeply it its lower limit rather corresponds to the upper border of the liver.
|Anatomical terminology
The chest (Greek: θώραξ, Latin: thorax) is a part of the anatomy of humans and various other animals. It is sometimes referred to as the thorax or the bosom.[1][2]
In hominids, the chest is the region of the body between the neck and the abdomen, along with its internal organs and other contents. It is mostly protected and supported by the ribcage, spine, and shoulder girdle. In humans, the portion of the chest protected by the rib cage is also called the thorax.
The contents of the chest include organs (the heart, lungs and thymus gland);
muscles (major and minor pectoral muscles, trapezius muscles and neck muscle); internal structures such as the diaphragm, esophagus, trachea and a part of the sternum known as the xiphoid process), as well as the content of the thoracic abdomen (stomach, kidney/adrenal, pancreas, spleen, and lower oesophagus). Also contained in the chest are arteries and veins (aorta, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava and the pulmonary artery); bones (the shoulder socket containing the upper part of the humerus, the scapula, sternum, thoracic portion of the spine, collarbone, and the rib cage and floating ribs). External structures are the nipples and mammary glands. The area exposed by open-necked shirts, the 'V of the chest' is sometimes the location of a light-induced skin disease.[3]
Clinical significance[edit]
Injury to the chest (also referred to as chest trauma, thoracic injury, or thoracic trauma) results in up to ¼ of all deaths due to trauma in the United States.[4]
Different types of diseases or conditions that can be experienced in the chest include pleurisy, flail chest, atelectasis, and the most common condition, chest pain. These conditions can be caused by birth defects, trauma, or in some cases because of heredity. It is important that all conditions are discussed with a physician and not diagnosed to ensure that proper treatment is given. Any condition that lowers the ability to breathe deeply or decreases a persons ability to cough is considered a chest disease or condition.
Chest pain can be the result of multiple issues including respiratory problems, digestive issues, musculoskeletal complications. The pain can trigger cardiac issues as well. Not all pain that is felt is associated with the heart, but it should not be taken lightly either. Symptoms can be different depending on the cause of the pain.[5] While cardiac issues cause feelings of sudden pressure in the chest or a crushing pain in the back, neck and arms, pain that is felt due to non cardiac issues gives a burning feeling along the digestive tract or pain when deep breaths are attempted. Different people feel pains differently for the same condition. Only a patient truly knows if the symptoms are mild or serious.
Chest pain may be a symptom of myocardial infarctions. If this condition is present in the body, the person feels discomfort in the chest that is similar to a heavy weight placed on the body. Sweating, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and irregular heartbeat can also be experienced. If heart attack occurs, the bulk of damage is caused during the first six hours, so getting the proper treatment quickly as possible is important. Some people, especially those who are elderly or have diabetes, may not have typical chest pain but may have many of the other symptoms of a heart attack. It is important that these patients and their care givers have a good understanding of heart attack symptoms.
Non-cardiac causes of chest pain[edit]
Just like with a heart attack, not all chest pain is suffered because of a condition involving the heart. Chest wall pain can be experienced after an increase in activity. Persons who add exercise to their daily routine generally feel this type of pain at the beginning. It is important to monitor the pain to ensure that it is not a sign of something more serious. Pain can also be experienced in persons who have an upper respiratory infection. This virus is also accompanied by fever and cough. Shingles is another viral infection that can give symptoms of chest or rib pain before a rash develops. Injuries to the rib cage or sternum is also a common cause of chest pain. It is generally felt when deep breaths are taken or during cough.
Another non cardiac cause of chest pain is atelectasis. It is a condition that suffered when a portion of the lung collapses from being airless. When bronchial tubes are blocked, this condition develops and causes patients to feel shortness of breath. The most common cause of atelectasis is when a bronchi that extends from the windpipe is blocked and traps air. The blockage may be caused by something inside the bronchus, such as a plug of mucus, a tumour, or an inhaled foreign object such as a coin, piece of food, or a toy.[6] It is possible for something outside of the bronchus to cause the blockage.
Pneumothorax is the condition where air or gas can build up in the pleural space. It can occur without a known cause or as the result of a lung disease or acute lung injury.[7] The size of the pneumothorax changes as liquid builds up, so a medical procedure can drain the liquid with a needle. If it is untreated, blood flow can be interrupted and cause a drop in blood pressure known as tension pneumothorax. It is possible for smaller cases to clear up on their own. Symptoms of this condition are often felt only on one side of the lung or as a shortness of breath.
Cancer of the lung[edit]
Cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells lining air passages.[8] In 50% of patients who smoke, the cause for lung cancer is 80%-90% tobacco use. Other causes of lung cancer include secondhand smoke, air pollution, asbestos, and lung diseases like tuberculosis (TB) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cancer occurs when normal cells undergo a transformation that causes them to grow and multiply without the normal controls.[9] Symptoms include persistent cough, hemoptysis, and chest pain. Many chest disease are experienced by a person diagnosed with lung cancer and should not be taken lightly. Proper treatment of the underlying cause or new ailments helps treat the cancer. In the human body, the chest is the body region between the neck and diaphragm in the front of the body. The corresponding area in an animal can be referred to as the chest. The chest holds many important internal, and is protected by the rib cage.
It is important to realize that the shape of the chest does not correspond to that of the bony thorax that encloses the heart and lungs. All the breadth of the shoulders is due to the shoulder girdle, and contains the axilla and the head of the humerus. In the middle line the suprasternal notch is seen above, while about three fingers' breadth below it a transverse ridge can be felt, which is known as Ludovic's angle and marks the junction between the manubrium and gladiolus of the sternum. Level with this line the second ribs join the sternum, and when these are found the lower ribs may be easily counted in a moderately thin subject. At the lower part of the sternum, where the seventh or last true ribs join it, the ensiform cartilage begins, and over this there is often a depression popularly known as the pit of the stomach.
Path physiology: The major pat physiologies' encountered in blunt chest trauma involve derangements in the flow of air, blood, or both in combination. Sepsis due to leakage of alimentary tract contents, as in esophageal perforations, also must be considered. Blunt trauma commonly results in chest wall injuries (e.g., rib fractures). The pain associated with these injuries can make breathing difficult, and this may compromise ventilation. Direct lung injuries, such as pulmonary contusions (see the image below), are frequently associated with major chest trauma and may impair ventilation by a similar mechanism.

A little below it the lower limit of the great pectoral muscle is seen running upward and outward to the axilla; in the female this is obscured by the breast, which extends from the second to the sixth rib vertically and from the edge of the sternum to the mid-axillary line laterally. The female nipple is surrounded for half an inch by a more or less pigmented disc, the areola. The apex of a normal heart is in the fifth left intercostal space, three and a half inches from the mid-line.

Women's Soccer Falls to No. 24 Florida State, 3-1
Oct. 22, 2002
1 2 F No. 24 Florida State 3 0 3 Jacksonville 1 0 1
Goals: JU- Inge Heiremans (Vanessa Illanes) 18:36, FSU- Jez Ratliff (Summer Corum, Katie Beal) 16:47, Cindy Schofield (Amber Tollefson) 29:33, Cindy Schofield (Katie Beal) 35:21. Shots: JU- 7, FSU- 17. Corner Kicks: JU- 3, FSU- 8. Saves: JU- 4 (Stephanie Fowler 4), FSU- 1 (Kerry York 1). Records: JU- 13-2-2, 8-0-2 A-Sun, FSU- 9-4-3.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Jacksonville University women's soccer team fell to No. 24 Florida State, 3-1, Tuesday evening in non-conference soccer action. Junior Inge Heiremans (Tremelo, Belgium) scored her 11th goal of the season for the Dolphins, while senior Vanessa Illanes (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) notched her 12th assist. The Dolphins suffered only their second loss of the season as they fall to 13-2-2 overall.
The game remained scoreless until the 17th minute when Florida State's Jez Ratliff scored on a header to give the Seminoles a 1-0 lead. JU came right back two minutes later as Illanes set up Heiremans from about 20 yards out and her shot hit the far post and found the back of the net to tie the game 1-1.
With the game tied 1-1, the Seminoles' Cindy Schofield scored two-straight goals in the final 15 minutes of the first period to give Florida State a 3-1 lead at the half. In the second half, JU was unable to take advantage of any opportunities and the Seminoles held on for the win. Sophomore Stephanie Fowler (Seffner, Fla.) recorded four saves as the Dolphins had their 15-game unbeaten streak snapped.
JU looks to wrap up the A-Sun regular-season title when they travel to Boca Raton on Saturday to take on the Florida Atlantic Owls at 7 p.m. in a game that will determine the A-Sun regular-season champ.

— Tim Donaghy says he doesn't bet on basketball anymore.
But basketball gambling is what pays his bills these days.
Like a recovering alcoholic tending bar for his old drinking buddies, the ex-NBA referee has been breaking down game tape and analyzing point spreads for a shady sports handicapper in Allentown, Pa., known as "Danny B," who uses the information to sell gambling tips to his clients.
"Meet the man who generated millions of dollars betting on basketball, as seen on '60 Minutes' and documented by the NBA and FBI," Danny B.'s website, sportsconnectionwins.com, says of Donaghy.
"It's basically a consulting firm," said Donaghy, 45, who's still on probation for gambling on basketball games and providing picks to two co-defendants while he was an active referee. He resigned in 2007 after 13 years in the league and pleaded guilty to federal gambling and wire-fraud charges in New York. He served about 13 months in prison.
Donaghy's current employer is known in the gambling industry — and apparently to Donaghy's probation officer — as Danny Berrelli. But his real name is Daniel T. Biancullo, a North Jersey native with a 2004 federal conviction stemming from his role in a Florida sports-gambling operation that counted ex-NHL player Jeremy Roenick among its clients.
Last week, Biancullo, 49, confirmed his "real" identity, saying he'd been using Berrelli as a "stage name" for years.
"Hiding names, aliases, it's all part of the business," he said. "This comes back to me protecting my kids."
Donaghy, who is prohibited from associating with felons while on probation, said he wasn't aware of Biancullo's conviction until informed by the Daily News.
"As long as it wasn't molesting kids," Donaghy said. "I'm nobody to judge anyone."
Donaghy's probation officer in Sarasota, Fla., where he lives, apparently was under the impression that Biancullo's "stage name" was his real name.
"We are investigating the true identity of Danny Berrelli," said Steve Beasely, Deputy Chief U.S. Probation Officer for the Middle District of Florida, said Monday. "We were not aware that Danny Berrelli had any other name."
Biancullo was among a crew of Florida-based sports handicappers, or "touts," who pleaded guilty in 2004 to federal gambling charges for falsely claiming to have inside information about games and referring callers to offshore casinos in exchange for kickbacks.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported then that federal authorities caught Biancullo on tape telling one caller: "When you're paying guys to throw a game, when you're paying officials to make bad calls, you know it costs a lot of money. There's a lot of money at stake here. Millions and millions of dollars. So that's why the cost is so great."
Roenick, who never was charged with a crime, acknowledged that he was a client of the firm Biancullo worked for. He told the Inquirer in 2004 that he considered them "scam artists."
"Honestly, they lie like (bleeping) rugs," he told the newspaper.
When asked last week about his past legal troubles, Biancullo said he'd gotten "caught up in a bad thing." He was sentenced to six months home detention and three years probation.
"I'm not a saint. I'm not a (bleeping) choirboy," he said. "I'm sure people are going to take shots at me. I don't give a rat's ass. I'm a survivor. I've been around the block more times than a space shuttle and I've survived."
Biancullo and Donaghy, who started working together in October 2010, say their current operation is entirely above-board.
"Who do you want to pick your NBA games, a plumber down the block or a former NBA referee? I'll go with the former referee," said Biancullo, who said he's paying Donaghy about $50,000 a year, including car payments.

MARYSVILLE, IN (WAVE) - For so many families, heading off to church on Sunday mornings is something so routine we almost take it for granted. A congregation in a town that a tornado tore apart is celebrating the simple joy of just having a building to go to.
For Helen Hunt, the Marysville Christian Church was a landmark of her town.
"I've lived out here for going on 24 years and for 23 years I drove by the old building when they were having church and I would always try to beat them out of the service to get to the grocery store before they did," Hunt said. "I always said, 'someday I'll go in that church.'"
Until the day that landmark became the center of the destruction.
"March 2nd came and I had never stepped foot in that building," said Hunt.
Pastor Bob Priest remembers that day.
"Several of the stained glass windows had been shattered and the building had actually shifted and slipped off its foundation," Priest said of the damage to the church.
What Priest remembers most though, was the promise.
"Flashing red lights, destruction everywhere and then I looked to the west and the sun was setting through the clouds and that was an unusual feeling because it sort of said to me, ok, it's bad right now but it will be better tomorrow," said Priest.
The church's tomorrow no longer lay in the building that had housed it since 1891.
"We met on the 11th at the firehouse," Priest said, "had a big crowd that Sunday as I recall."
"My husband Dewey and I we went that first Sunday on March 11th," said Hunt.
For 17 months, Hunt and her new church family grew at that fire station. Many needed spiritual guidance to get through the trying time.
"That's why we went and why we've continued to go ever since," Hunt said.
This coming Sunday the members of the congregation will dedicate their new church building.
"It's back in the town of Marysville, where it's supposed to be," said Hunt. "We are where we belong here in Marysville and to be able to overcome the struggle of the 17 months that it took to get back to this place, it's nothing short of amazing."
"There's a lot of new things in here, but there's some of the old as well," Priest said.
The old church bell rings from a new steeple, sending a message that Hunt hopes all will hear.
"To have faith," said Hunt. "No matter what life throws at you, just have faith."
The dedication for Marysville Christian Church is Sunday, September 23, at 3 p.m. at the new building on Marysville Road, right in the shadow of the water tower.

Here are some postgame quotes following the Dallas Stars' 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks at American Airlines Center Saturday night.
Stars coach Glen Gulutzan on the win
"We needed it. It was a hard-fought game. You could see how good that team is coming into our building. It was a tough game, there was not a lot of territory out there."
Gulutzan on the play of Cristopher Nilstorp
"I thought he was solid. I thought the game started right for our goalie. He had some shots early but we kept them to the perimeter. Then we got a little bounce there, one that was tipped and squeaked through. I thought Rome did a good job [of clearing that]. He settled right in and gave us a chance to win. I thought that was big."
Gulutzan on the power play
"After we practiced it and worked on it, I thought our retrievals were good. I thought the guys battled for the puck. Just when you've got Bennie and Jags out there on that one power play they make something out of nothing. I thought that was a real big one and Ryds, you can't give him that shot in the slot because if he gets that time he'll bury it. I thought our big guys made big plays."
Gulutzan on Benn's fight inspiring the team
"Well, it certainly got us all off our seats. Like I said, he has a passion to win and it sparked us for sure. There's our young bull there, going out there and getting things going. I thought it gave our team some energy. We need to do whatever we can to manufacture stuff and I thought Bennie picked a good opportunity and certainly a good opponent to get us going."
Stars forward Jamie Benn on his fight with Joe Thornton
"Mix it up, get myself going a bit and kind of get the barn rocking. … It wakes you up, gets you going. I felt good doing it, it was pretty exciting and I just tried to get the guys going a bit."
Stars goaltender Cristopher Nilstorp on getting his first NHL win
"Of course it's a great feeling to get your first win. The guys did an amazing job in front of me and helped me out today so I'm really thankful for that. It's a great feeling."
Nilstorp on what this win does for his confidence…
"It means a lot for me. You get your first win, you get excited for next game now. My confidence builds up because of this."
Sharks coach Todd McLellan
"More of the same, pretty good effort but like I said after the game in Chicago, you can't take consolation in that. You have to put points in the bank and we're not doing it right now. You can't win games scoring one goal. Power play scored a goal. It's the same thing. It's over and over. We've got to find ways to fix it."

Stuart Hall held in rape probe
5:05pm Wednesday 5th December 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Police investigating an allegation of rape and indecent assault have arrested veteran BBC commentator Stuart Hall.
The 82-year-old former It's A Knockout presenter was detained earlier, sources said.
Lancashire Police did not name Hall but said a suspect was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
He was taken to a police station for questioning on the allegations, described as "historic".
A police spokesman said: "An 82-year-old man from Wilmslow in Cheshire has this morning been arrested by Lancashire Police at his home address on suspicion of rape and indecent assault.
"The man will be interviewed at a police station during the course of the day. The allegations are historic. We are not prepared to discuss further.
"We take all allegations of sexual abuse extremely seriously.
"We would encourage people with any information about sexual abuse or who has been a victim of sexual abuse to come forward and report their concerns, confident in the knowledge it will be investigated appropriately and with sensitivity."
Mr Hall has been a familiar face and voice in British broadcasting for half a century and this year was awarded the OBE in the New Year Honours. His eccentric and erudite football match summaries have made him a cult figure on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Police officers arrived at his home at about 8am on Tuesday and stayed until about 2pm. One uniformed officer left carrying two bin bags containing items. There were two marked Cheshire police vehicles in the driveway of his home for several hours.

This week, Sir Bors shares another legend of the noble Sir Lancelot (as with all other legends of Lancelot, this actually happened in Arthurian myth).
Bors: So Lancelot went hiking in the woods this week, and some woman shot him in the ass. There he was, probably looking for something to decapitate as per his usual preference, when some huntswoman came traipsing along the trail a ways back, mistook his behind for a simple hind, and let fly an arrow from her bow. And that great and noble knight hight Sir Lancelot was dealt a most doleful blow. In his ass. There's no real point to this story. It just makes me very happy.

Rebecca chats with Laini Taylor
Yesterday I was very lucky for the chance to meet with Laini Taylor and discuss her recently-completed DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE trilogy. Arriving in Christchurch, New Zealand for our biannual Writer's Festival, Laini was kind enough to share some insights into her epic story. Involving a star-crossed romance, a perspective flip on angels and demons, and an upcoming film adaptation, her trilogy has ensnared thousands of readers -- and hopefully you as well.
Here are the New Zealand covers of Laini's books:

Kirinya: I didn't get what I wanted out of it
Kirinya by Ian McDonald
After recently enjoying Ian McDonald's Evolution's Shore, the first book in his CHAGA series, I was eager to proceed with book two, Kirinya. I wanted to know where McDonald was going with the fascinating ideas he presented in that first novel. What is the goal of the Chaga, the alien evolution machine that has landed on Earth in the form of a ground-covering jungle that changes the landscape and its human inhabitants as it slowly progresses across equatorial regions? What is in the BDO (Big Dumb Object) that came from Saturn and hovers in Earth's orbit? How will our world's societies and cultures be affected by these otherworldly intrusions?
As Kirinya begins we learn that Gaby, the famous feisty Irish journalist, has had Shepherd's baby. Because their daughter Serena was affected by the Chaga, Gaby and ... Read More
7th Sigma: Who doesn't want to read about giant metal-eating bugs?
7th Sigma by Steven Gould
One thing I really love about accepting review copies of books is that I end up reading stuff I never would have read otherwise. It really opens my eyes up to new authors, or authors that I should have read and heard of long ago. One of these authors is Steven Gould, who, after further investigation, I discovered is well known for a 1992 novel called Jumper. Well, I got 7th Sigma in the mail and realized that it was about giant metal-eating bugs and I knew I had to read it. Hey, who doesn't want to read about giant metal-eating bugs?
7th Sigma takes place in the southwest United States, which was mysteriously overrun by metal-eating bugs. Most people have fled the territory, living in safe locations. However, some individuals remain in the southwest. These people are mostly hard-as-nails settlers who refuse to give up their la... Read More

The Bone Clocks: One of my favorite reads this year
The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell
Fans of David Mitchell (of which I am definitely one) will feel right at home with his newest work, The Bone Clocks. You've got your chameleon-like ability to shift voice across a wide variety of genders and ages via multiple POVs, your richly vivid characterization, the literary and at times lyrical passages of internal monologue or description, spot-on dialog, an interconnected-story structure that spans time and space, the erudite use of history, and imaginative yet grittily real extrapolations of future settings and language. Weaving in and out of all this are familiar themes involving reincarnation, mortality, the predatory nature of humanity against both itself and the environment, and the idea of interconnectedness, the latter made more overt via the added pleasure for Mitchell fans of the many references to characters from earlier Mitchell books. Throw in some paranormal event... Read More
Mary of Marion Isle: Another wonderful Haggard adventure
Mary of Marion Isle by H. Rider Haggard
The great H. Rider Haggard wrote a total of 58 novels before his death in May 1925, and of that number, four were released posthumously. Mary of Marion Isle was his penultimate creation, one which he wrote in 1924, although, as revealed in D.S. Higgins' biography of Haggard, the idea for the story first came to him in 1916, while sailing to Australia and watching the albatrosses circling his ship. The novel was ultimately released in April 1929, and, as stated by Higgins, was limited to a run of only 3,500 copies by the publisher Hutchinson & Co. Somehow, many years ago, I got my hands on one, and in fair shape, too. I'm glad I did, because it turns out to be another wonderful Haggard adventure, although many reviewers (Higgins included) tend to denigrate these later Haggard titles as being mere rehashes of older works. Well, I suppose that some of the themes and set pieces in... Read More
The Gypsy: A Brust & Lindholm collaboration
The Gypsy by Steven Brust and Megan Lindholm
Experienced police man Mike Stepovich anf his green partner Durand apprehend a gypsy suspected of murdering a shopkeeper. Stepovich immediately notices something strange about the gypsy and does something he's never done in his long career. He fails to turn in the knife the gypsy is carrying. Somehow he knows the gypsy is not the murderer and the knife is special. Later that night, the gypsy disappears without a trace from the police cell they are holding him in. Murder investigations are not the territory of an ordinary patrol cop but this case does not let him go, especially when the body of an old gypsy woman turns up. Again, the suspect Stepovich and his partner arrested seems to be involved and Stepovich is determined to find him. His search will lead him into a supernatural power struggle the existence of which he never suspected.

A Fall of Princes: So much drama!
A Fall of Princes by Judith Tarr
