I joined Sekou Smith and Lang Whitaker on the latest installment of NBA.com's Hang Time Podcast to discuss the Orlando Magic's flurry of trade activity over the weekend. I start at about the 28:30 mark, but you owe it to yourself to listen to all the segments. Michael Lee, Michael Cunningham, and Alan Hahn, who cover the Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, and New York Knicks, respectively, also joined Sekou and Lang.
I'm tracking the Orlando Magic's playing rotation all season long and posting the results on this page.

On the SBNation.com mothership, I make the case that fans of teams who are no longer in the playoffs should start rooting for the Orlando Magic.

As donations ramp up this time of year so does the need for volunteers at non-profits like the Father Fred Foundation.
As food and furniture donations pour in Father Fred is looking for a certain type of volunteer; they are in need of people who can do the heavy lifting.
More specifically someone who can safely lift 50 to 75 pound comfortably.
Right now Father Fred is only down to a handful of people who can get the heavy donations to those who need it most.
9&10's Jessica Dupnack and photojournalist Corey Adkins have more on Father Fred's call for those who can haul.

Joel Madden
After a tough childhood with an alcoholic father and lupus-stricken mother, high schooler Joel Madden started punk-pop band Good Charlotte with his twin brother Benji after attending a Beastie Boys concert. They made their first recording using a home karaoke machine in 1996, back when Madden's nerves were so intense he'd perform with his back to the audience. Despite "Little Things" becoming a local hit in Philadelphia after a DJ got a hold of the home recording, their Epic debut in 1999 failed to go wide. Their 2002 sophomore CD, The Young & The Hopeless, which included singles like "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" and "The Anthem," faired much better, allowing the band to tour the planet and nab the cover of Rolling Stone and Madden to connect with his first famous flame Hilary Duff. Despite the image and age difference (8 years), the couple last for more than two years. After a three-year hiatus, Good Charlotte released their fifth studio album, 2010's Cardiology. Selling more than 9 million records worldwide is certainly an accomplishment, but a greater feat under Madden's belt may be his taming of notorious party girl with a DUI Nicole Richie in 2006. The socialite and the singer made grandpa Lionel Richie dance on the ceiling when they welcomed daughter Harlow in 2008 and son Sparrow in 2009 and made it official at his LA pad in 2010 in front of guests like Gwen Stefani and Samantha Ronson.

As a Statistician, it should come as no surprise that I love random things. So it should really come as no surprise that I love when random things equate to random awesome adventures.
Take for example my recent trip to New York. The trip was roughly planned out between Steph, Gerarda, and myself. That is, we emailed a few ideas of things to do, places to go, food to eat, drinks to drink, and plays to attend. Based on our conversations, Dr. Steph had sketched out an itinerary that included such things as a gin sampling at the Breuckelen Distilling Company, eating at Crumbs bakery, drinking copious amounts of wine at Maloney & Porcelli's Weekend Wine Dinner, and seeing The Book of Mormon. But, we are not the type to be so stuck on our plans that we can't change them on a whim. Granted, after buying the tickets for The Book of Mormon in advance we likely wouldn't have been changing those plans.
Regardless, our original list was soon revised, and revised, and revised again. Not because anything prevented us from completing our original list of awesome New York activities. Instead, other opportunities presented themselves and we had to jump on them. Take for example the gin tasting; first it was moved from Friday to Saturday because we randomly found ourselves going to see a Jimmy Fallon rehearsal, then it was removed from our list to accommodate Seminar – the play I mentioned yesterday. In the case of the Jimmy Fallon rehearsal, we acted as guinea pigs; our reactions were used to determine which of his opening monologue jokes would make it into that evenings act. Most of the jokes were hilarious, but a few were absolute bombs and they did not make the cut. We also sat through his Thank You Letters which were terribly hilarious. Seeing Seminar with Alan Rickman was a time limited opportunity; we reasoned that the distillery would still be around next summer – a time when we could sit on a patio and enjoy gin-based beverages while watching the world go by.
Another item that made it onto our list that we hadn't planned – seeing Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin in concert. We managed to snag tickets for this show the same night that we bought the tickets for Seminar. We only learned of the show while perusing the website for the Seminar tickets. Since Gerarda is a huge Patti LuPone fan, this was a no-brainer.
The show was amazing. We were fortunate to have purchased some excellent seats, although I really don't think any of the seats in the Barrymore Theatre were bad. The show was a medley of famous broadway songs, presented on a stage consisting of a piano, a cello, and various microphones and lights. A simple set, but enough for the two actors to work with. They managed to keep me completely engaged with the barest of props – a testament to their ability as stage actors.
Of all the songs they performed, I'd have to say my favourites were those related to Evita. For those not in the know, both LuPone and Patinkin made famous the lead roles of Evita. LuPone sang Don't Cry For Me Argentina, while Patinkin sang Oh What A Circus – which was absolutely freaking incredible. I only learned of their roles in Evita thanks to Gerarda. Clearly I have much to learn.
Anyway, while our original trip itinerary ended up being slightly modified here and there, the end result was an amazing adventure. In fact, I prefer not having things so planned on a trip because it provides the opportunity to stumble on some great things. In this case, we managed to pack in two extra shows, plus see Jimmy Fallon live. Awesome.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh State and Geneseo both face an uphill road to first place in SUNY Athletic Conference men's hockey, but one of them can get a firm grip on second tonight.
Both teams trail first-place Oswego in the standings and would need some help to catch the Lakers. The second-place finisher also receives a first-round bye in the SUNYAC tournament and home ice in the semifinals.
The Cardinals host Geneseo tonight and Brockport on Saturday as the regular season enters the final two weekends.
"We have the standings in the locker room and they get updated every week, so we know how big they are and we know these next four games we gotta win every one of them," Plattsburgh forward Dillan Fox said. "So, you know, every SUNYAC game's a big game, but now they're getting even bigger."
The Knights (15-6-1, 10-2-1 SUNYAC) are currently second with 21 points, and they have three games left. The Cardinals (14-6-1, 9-2-1) have 19 points with four games remaining. Oswego (22 points) also has four left.
If Plattsburgh wins tonight, it will be in great position to finish in at least second place. Likewise, if the Knights win, Plattsburgh won't be able to catch them unless they falter in one of their final two games.
Geneseo beat Plattsburgh 3-2 in November, when Devon Rice scored with 57 seconds left.
The 14th-ranked Knights have won seven of their last eight, with the only loss during that stretch coming against Oswego. Their only other defeat in the second semester was to Adrian, which is currently ranked seventh.
Zachary Vit leads the team in scoring with six goals and 16 assists. Jack Caradonna has a 2-18-20 line. Adrian Rubeniuk and Bryan Haude have handled most of the goaltending duties this season.
"I think the jury's still out on what Geneseo's going to bring," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. "I think they've got a lot of numbers; they've got four lines that can play, so they might come at us. Or they might not.
"I do know they're probably going to watch the tape from this past weekend. Both Fredonia and Buffalo played a lot alike, and we could see that as well."
No. 9 Plattsburgh had been on a five-game winning streak until falling at Fredonia last Saturday. Emery said the Cardinals played well in that game except for one stretch early in the third period.
"I do think we have to play with a sense of urgency and more desperate at times," he said.
Jared Docking tops Plattsburgh's scoring list with 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists), and Luke Baleshta is right behind him with 21, including a team-high 14 assists.
"We gotta persevere," Emery said. "I'm a big believer in the power of now. Learn from the past, but the only thing you can control is the present."

By Christian Jennings - bio | email ARLINGTON, GA (WALB) – A sharp cashier helped put four suspected counterfeiters in jail in Arlington.
Police say the suspects passed fake $50 and $100 bills at various businesses. They had $700 in counterfeit bills with them when they got arrested.
When a woman tried to purchase a few items using a $100 bill at the Super dollar in Arlington the cashier did more than just check it with a counterfeit pen he took the time to feel the bill and raise it up to the light. He turned her away and called police.
Cashiers at the Arlington Super Dollar submit every large bill they receive to the light test.
"I'm holding this $100 bill up to see if it's fake, but it's not because I see the face over here to the right hand corner," said Debbie McCoy, a Super Dollar Cashier.
And use these special markers during almost every transaction. Their astuteness paid off on Friday when a woman tried to pass a fake 100 dollar bill.
"The lady said she had washed it in her pants, we said we couldn't except the money, so she left the store," said McCoy.
The woman in their store was 38-year-old Chandrise Ross. Police say Ross, her 19-year-old son Andre, 21-year-old Derrick Moore and 26-year-old Regis Hightower were working together Friday afternoon going store to store making small purchases with counterfeit bills.
"What they had done was bleach a five dollar bill and printed 50's and 100's over it," said Police Chief Casey Taylor.
Police arrested the foursome around 4pm in their vehicle only an hour after their plan went into action. The group split up and passed fake bills at five Arlington businesses including Jerry's Country Meats and Taylor's Grocery as seen in this video.
But it was the cashier at the Super Dollar who was smart enough to spot the scam.
"It makes us feel good that they didn't get to another town," said McCoy.
Police are still looking for this man they believe was also a part of the group. This is him hugging another customer. He goes on to make a purchase later.
Police think he's from Atlanta, but originally from Arlington. If you know anything, give them a call at 229-725-4211.
The Secret Service says they don't think Friday's incident in Arlington is related to the rash of counterfeit cases they've been seeing in Albany lately.
But they advise store clerks to learn from this and be extra cautious of the money you put in your register.
Each of the suspects is charged with five counts of Forgery. They're all in the Early County jail.

America's Best Racing brand ambassador Jose Contreras – whose puts his picks out for the public regularly on his own blog www.losponies.com - will help DerbyJackpot players with his insight in a regular blog feature for ABR.
Each week, Jose will give out his "Best Bet" of the weekend, ideal for a "Monkey Bet" (a win bet) on DerbyJackpot, as well as his Lonshot Play of the weekend, a nice opportunity to swing for the fences on a Monkey Bet or to take a shot with "The Granny" (a show bet, or top-three finish).
Jose also will lay out either a quick-hitting Granny Parlay or a Gonzo Bet. The Granny Parlay essentialy is a bet in which players will have an opportunity to place one Granny bet after another on a sequence of four or five races within an hour or so of each other, essentially letting it ride as they go "all in" search of a nice return on investment. The idea of the parlay is to steadily grow your bankroll until you have a sizeable stash of cash to let it ride on the final leg for a nice payout. The Gonzo Bet requires players to select the first two finishers in a given race in order, the same as a traditional exacta bet.
Place your bets at DerbyJackpot. Races open for betting about five minutes before post time. It's fun, it's easy, and you can win cash. Open your account today.
Best Bet (Monkey Bet/Win Bet)
Saturday: Race 2, Saratoga Race Course (1:30 p.m. ET)
#4 Crescent: He finished a strong third in his debut when beaten only 2 ½ lengths when closing ground late. That race was at 5 furlongs and today he gets more ground when he goes 6 ½ furlongs on the main track. His trainer does very well with horses after they have gotten some racing experience, and this horse fits the bill. The winning horse of that debut race, Corfu, returned to win again in his next start.
Longshot play (Granny Bet/Show Bet)
Saturday: Race 8, Del Mar (5:40 p.m. PT)
#9 Pearlside: She was last seen when running second in a Group 2 race in France. She makes her U.S. debut for a trainer who has done well with imports over the years. She shows two good workouts on the Del Mar turf in preparation for this race. She faces a solid group today but she might prove to be dangerous in the stretch.
Exacta Box (Gonzo Bet)
Sunday: Race 3, Del Mar (3:09 p.m. PT)
#3 Rock This Way: Went off as the favorite in the last start when facing $20,000 claimers in an uncomfortable trip. The connections claimed him for $16,000 two starts ago and drop him to the $12,500 level today. Talamo gets the mount today, and he won with him two starts ago.
#6 Winsome Charm: His speed figures are consistent but he has been facing tougher competition. He has made three starts this year with two of those being sprint races; he drops in class and goes a route which he seems to prefer.
#7 Big Wags: He ran a good third last out at slightly higher level. He took the lead in the stretch and finished less than two lengths from the lead. He owns five wins at this distance and his jockey, Agapito Delgadillo, knows him well.

Say you're out for a photographic stroll, taking pictures of that cool old power plant on the edge of town. Suddenly seventy security guards swarm you and demand you hand over your camera.
"What is this," you ask yourself, "a Michael Moore movie?"
You're sure you haven't done anything wrong, but you don't know whose side the law is on. Fret no more. We've got a list of things you can and can't do, and it's a lot more permissive than you might think.
Now grab your camera back from that Rent-A-Cop, and let's hit the books.
The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography*
*Charlton Heston not included
p.s. Thanks to everybody who entered our "Monday Stinks!" contest! Congratulations to Notorious D.A.V., Warren Photography, evaded, mommaozzy 84, biancaprime, berdandy, spade, AnasBananas, trenity00, andreskrey, determinedforce01, ladibug, killbyte, Nellofcourse and Mia!
The Legal Stuff
I.Before we get started here, we have to point out that even though we're smart and awesome and devastatingly attractive, we're not lawyers. None of this should be construed as legal advice. If you have a legal issue, get in touch with a lawyer. Much of this information was gleaned from attorney Bert P. Krages' website, so we'll go ahead and recommend him.
The Ten Legal Commandments of Photography
I. Anyone in a public place can take pictures of anything they want. Public places include parks, sidewalks, malls, etc. Malls? Yeah. Even though it's technically private property, being open to the public makes it public space.
II. If you are on public property, you can take pictures of private property. If a building, for example, is visible from the sidewalk, it's fair game.
III. If you are on private property and are asked not to take pictures, you are obligated to honor that request. This includes posted signs.
IV. Sensitive government buildings (military bases, nuclear facilities) can prohibit photography if it is deemed a threat to national security.
V. People can be photographed if they are in public (without their consent) unless they have secluded themselves and can expect a reasonable degree of privacy. Kids swimming in a fountain? Okay. Somebody entering their PIN at the ATM? Not okay.
VI. The following can almost always be photographed from public places, despite popular opinion:
VII. Although "security" is often given as the reason somebody doesn't want you to take photos, it's rarely valid. Taking a photo of a publicly visible subject does not constitute terrorism, nor does it infringe on a company's trade secrets.
VIII. If you are challenged, you do not have to explain why you are taking pictures, nor to you have to disclose your identity (except in some cases when questioned by a law enforcement officer.)
IX. Private parties have very limited rights to detain you against your will, and can be subject to legal action if they harass you.
X. If someone tries to confiscate your camera and/or film, you don't have to give it to them. If they take it by force or threaten you, they can be liable for things like theft and coercion. Even law enforcement officers need a court order.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Los Angeles magazine hosted an exclusive evening with rubix hollywood to reveal their newly remodeled luxury private residences, now available to lease! On Wednesday, May 23, guests gathered poolside for one-on-one psychic readings from Judy Hevenly, Geisha House hors d'oeuvres, sweet treats catered by LA Spice, Karma tequila cocktails, and Stella Artois. But what drew the crowds was the friendly Burger Battle between gourmet chef Eric Greenspan of The Foundry and Burger Lounge. Burger Lounge was crowned the better burger by one vote! The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce was also on hand to commemorate the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

MANCHESTER — A town beach, closed to swimming earlier this week because of high bacteria levels in the water, will remain closed until further notice.
Testing at Black Beach, off Ocean Street, showed a bacteria count of 223. The state sets the allowable level for swimming at 104.
Although a retest of the beach water found satisfactory results, the beach has exceeded the allowable season-long geomean average standards.
Weekly beach water testing will continue until Labor Day at all six Manchester beaches.
All five of the other Manchester beaches have passed testing and are open to swimming.
Updates are available at the town's website, as well as from the Board of Health at 978-526-7385.

We fight to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.
We consider anyone affected by cancer—patients, caregivers and loved ones—a survivor at the moment of diagnosis and through every stage of the cancer journey. We're letting survivors know they're not alone. There are 28 million people living with cancer around the world, and we're standing with them in the fight against cancer. We're helping survivors find their voice and take control of their fight.
Learn more about cancer
Cancer accounts for nearly eight million deaths worldwide each year, killing more people than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. LIVESTRONG is calling on world leaders to make cancer a global priority. We believe all cancer survivors have the right to receive the treatment, services and support they need.
I have or have had cancer.
I have a loved one who has had cancer.
I am a health professional or healthcare provider.
Together with local partners, we will…
Increase Awareness of cancer as a priority among policy makers.
Improve Access to care for cancer survivors around the world.
Empower People affected by cancer to engage in the fight against cancer.
My son Oren was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on November 5th. It is not easy to continue dealing with this subject on a daily basis, after you have lost your loved ones, but I am committed to carrying the torch that my son passed on to me.
In 2007, LIVESTRONG executed a global cancer research study intended to give people affected by cancer a chance to share their cancer experiences and their perspectives on the cancer problem—a problem that is too often shrouded by stigma and silence. Hear from everyday people and medical professionals in India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and South Africa regarding how is cancer perceived and represented around the world.

Even a Gamecock fan has to admit that Friday night's game featured bad umpiring. Too bad that obscures another win in one of the sport's great runs.
They might not have been the flashiest teams at the end of the SEC baseball season. But they're not quiet now.
South Carolina might not win in Omaha this year. But the fact that they got there again is accomplishment enough.
After a difficult two years, LSU is just two wins away from punching it's ticket to Omaha. All that stands in their way is Cinderella, with a big bat. The first thing you notice about Stony Brook...

Arkansas won someone else's regional. Now it waits to find out if it can host its own super regional.
It's yet another win for Florida in Gainesville, where the Gators haven't lost a postseason series since 2009.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has gone ahead with plans to close two state facilities, including one in Central Illinois.
The Jacksonville center for people with developmental disabilities and a Tinley Park mental hospital are being closed---moving some 600 people from state to community institutions over the next 30 months.
About 550 people work at the two state facilities, and the Governor's office said closures would save nearly $20 million.
The Jacksonville facility is slated for closure by October of this year.

The Fraser Institute's B.C. school rankings have long been controversial and this year's report is no different.
As in past years, teachers and school administrators decried the results as meaningless, questioning the think-tank's failure to account for the different socioeconomic conditions or backgrounds of various schools.
"We take what we can learn from it, but I think the comparison itself is not helpful," said Sullivan. "In fact, I think it's destructive and harmful.
"I don't think it does anything for the morale of people who are working in poor communities who are committed 100 per cent to the children in their schools and work very, very hard to ensure that children achieve."
Of course, there is one comparison in the results perhaps more meaningful — direct comparison of the same school across time. How does one elementary's standings this year, for example, compare to its last year or the past five? Such a comparison could give useful insights into what is happening inside school walls. It might not be fair to compare private schools to public schools, or schools in rich neighbourhoods against those in poorer ones, but certainly it is fair to compare schools against their own records of achievement.
The fact is, the Fraser Institute continues to use the results of B.C.'s Foundation Skills Assessments to produce its annual report because there is interest in the numbers. Fair or not, the public is hungry for information and wants to know someone is holding our school system to account.
Our students are graded but there is little from the system that tells parents those who teach our kids are also being evaluated.
What happens in our schools each day is largely invisible to parents. The Fraser Institute's report, as limited as it might be, gives us at least a glimpse.

It would be even more helpful if you could do your midweek release on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I realize it may not be possible.

It is interesting that you don't have "The Gates" neighborhood on your list as most of the residents of the area don't realize that Amberwood/Woodmeadows is the official name of their neighborhood. Only we old timers who bought in there as original homeowners.
Congratulations on your on line edition. It is a great addition to your newspaper.

Not entirely true. Some of us newcomers know the "official" name of this development.
But I agree, PW should have "The Gates" listed since they use the "Birdland" nickname too.

It all began with a project, which saw Aernout photograph actors and dancers in his studio. He used ethnic masks, weapons and jewellery as props – objects that he had collected on his travels through Africa, Australia, Japan and New Guinea. The project also took him to Tanzania.
The Massai live as semi-nomads with their herds of animals, the young men are brought up as warriors, to defend their tribes. Aernout gave a small group three goats and spent some time with them. The results are a black and white series, as well as colour images, which juxtapose the red of Massai dress with the red blood of slaughtered animals. The exhibition in Amsterdam ended in January, but the book is still available for purchase.

Nick BALLON was commissioned by the German ADAC travel magazine to shoot an editorial behind the scenes of 'The Mousetrap' theatre production in London. It is the world's longest running play and several traditions had to be overcome thanks to powers of persuasion, so that Nick was finally able to access backstage areas.
The Berlin and London-based photographer's picture aesthetic is grounded in attention to detail, his focus and unique visual language are reflected in all his areas of photography, from documentary, editorial and commercial.
Martin W. MAIER travelled to Barcelona to shoot the current SONY ERICSSON campaign. The visual look was created using special film lighting; Stefanie Wencek added the finishing touches in post-production. Since the motifs will be used for the Asian and European markets, close attention was paid to a selection of international models. The agency was McCann Erickson; Bettina Blum and Tina Krakow took care of the art buying.
Martin lives and works in Berlin as an experimental photographer and director. He specialises in editorials, advertising and music.
The Hague likes to describe itself as the city of dance. Gerrit SCHREURS shot twelve motifs of dancers at various city sites for THE HAGUE DANCES! organisation. The images are on display at the town hall in impressive seven metre wide formats. The series was also displayed at De Passage, the oldest indoor shopping centre in the Netherlands.
Gerrit is from The Hague and characterises his work as carefully created compositions, which places great importance on experimentation with light. He is always on the look for adventures in new places and new techniques, such as animation.
Catch up with Christa Klubert in person at the UPdate on the 6th of May in Frankfurt.

Greensburg Daily News
---- — COLUMBUS – A benefit concert on behalf of Our Hospice of South Central Indiana will be presented by 40 Years of College at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5 at Columbus North High School Erne Auditorium.
The ticketed event is being sponsored by 40 Years of College, a well-known Columbus area classic rock band, to help Our Hospice raise funds and defray costs associated with the 2013 Hospice Concert, which was rained out on Aug. 31 at Mill Race Park, Columbus. All proceeds from the benefit concert will help provide care and services for Our Hospice patients with an advanced illness and their families, regardless of their ability to pay.
"Our Hospice would like to thank the community for their support following the cancellation of the 2013 Hospice Concert over Labor Day weekend," said Sandy Carmichael, President of Our Hospice of South Central Indiana. "Whether it was a note, phone call or donation, the outpouring of care and concern was truly appreciated."
Our Hospice reports funds received from individuals since the Aug. 31 concert, to help with fundraising and defray costs, total about $3,000.
"We're sad the 2013 Hospice Concert was rained out," said Dr. Roy Goode, Our Hospice's Medical Director, and a member of 40 Years of College. "We want to support the community and Our Hospice, and this is our way of giving back. We are more than happy to do the benefit concert for Our Hospice. It is unfortunate that Our Hospice has had three down concert years (due to weather), with this year being the most devastating, since the concert had to be canceled before it even started at Mill Race Park."
"40 Years of College has been privileged to participate in several past concerts for Our Hospice, and our guitarist, Dr. Roy Goode, is Medical Director at Our Hospice. When we realized the impact of the Tommy James and The Shondells concert cancellation, we decided to see what we could do to help. Our Hospice is so important to the community that we wanted to try to replace at least some of their lost revenue," said Warren Ward, manager of 40 Years of College.
Opening the 8 p.m. concert for 40 Years of College will be video segments of Tommy James and The Shondells' "LIVE! At The Bitter End (Greenwich Village, NYC)." Clips will include rare photos of Tommy James and The Shondells and many of their legendary hits from the 1960's, including "Draggin' the Line," "Crystal Blue Persuasion," "Hanky Panky," and "Mony Mony!"
Tickets: $15 in advance; $17 at the door at Columbus North High School, Erne Auditorium.

Ocean Power Technologies and Lockheed Martin Developing Utility-Scale Wave Power System
Lockheed Martin [NYSE:LMT] and Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPT) [Nasdaq: OPTT and London Stock Exchange AIM: OPT] have signed a commercial engineering services agreement to develop OPT's wave energy systems for use in future utility-scale power generation projects.
Under the agreement, Lockheed Martin will provide its expertise in systems integration, lean manufacturing, and test and optimization analysis to enhance OPT's innovative PowerBuoy® wave power generation technology to utility-scale. This critical step will allow the two companies to pursue future utility-scale power generation projects in North America. The companies agreed to collaborate on such projects in a letter of intent signed in January 2009.
"The breadth of Lockheed Martin's expertise, innovation and execution skills will add significant value to OPT's overall delivery capability and assist in pursuing utility-scale wave energy projects," said Mark R. Draper, OPT's chief executive officer. "Their know-how will enhance key aspects of our current product offering, and aid the successful roll-out of our core PowerBuoy technology on the west coast of the U.S."
OPT's proven PowerBuoy technology uses "smart" buoys, based on integrated patented hydrodynamics, electronics, energy conversion and computer control systems, to capture and convert energy from the natural rising and falling of waves into low-cost, clean electricity. The generated power is transferred ashore via an underwater power transmission cable. A future 10-Megawatt utility power station comprised of floating PowerBuoy systems would occupy approximately 30 acres (0.125 square kilometers) of ocean space. Such a plant would generate electricity for approximately 4,000 homes.
"Our work with OPT is another way in which Lockheed Martin is applying its expertise to help the nation achieve energy independence with alternative, renewable resources," said Rich Lockwood, vice president of Lockheed Martin's New Ventures business. "Lockheed Martin's experience, combined with OPT's impressive PowerBuoy technology, advances the efficient and cost-effective production of utility-scale wave power generation systems."
In addition to its collaboration with OPT, Lockheed Martin is addressing the nation's energy and climate challenges with work in areas including next-generation alternative energy, energy efficiency, energy storage and climate monitoring.
About Ocean Power Technologies
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTT and London Stock Exchange AIM: OPT) is a pioneer in wave-energy technology that harnesses ocean wave resources to generate reliable, clean and environmentally-beneficial electricity. OPT has a strong track record in the advancement of wave energy and participates in a $150 billion annual power generation equipment market. The Company's proprietary PowerBuoy® system is based on modular, ocean-going buoys that capture and convert predictable wave energy into low-cost, clean electricity. The Company is widely recognized as a leading developer of on-grid and autonomous wave-energy generation systems, benefiting from over a decade of in-ocean experience. OPT's technology and systems are insured by Lloyds Underwriters of London. OPT is headquartered in Pennington, New Jersey with offices in Warwick, UK. More information can be found at www.oceanpowertechnologies.com.

There are plenty of Washington Nationals who haven't been hitting, but Adam LaRoche might have the best excuse. Back in spring training, LaRoche was diagnosed with a partial tear of the labrum in his left shoulder. He was given a cortisone shot, and doctors assured him it wouldn't have affect his hitting, but through the first month and a half of the season, LaRoche has hit just .172 with three home runs. LaRoche most definitely feels like something is wrong, and Monday the Nationals have placed him on the disabled list.
LaRoche is not scheduled for surgery, and he and the team think it may take only a few weeks of rest for him to be good to go. But that's hardly a guarantee, so LaRoche's future is somewhat uncertain.
To take LaRoche's place on the roster, the Nationals are expected to activate Rick Ankiel from the disabled list on Tuesday. As for LaRoche's playing time at first base, Mike Morse is the most likely bet off the bench. Morse is sitting on a .650 OPS, but he mashed the ball a year ago and comes with halfway-decent offensive upside.

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — The Indianapolis Monumental Marathon (IMM) recently donated more than 1,000 winter hats to local charities.
In 2013 all runners and walkers who crossed the Monumental finish line were given a distinctive winter hat, along with a finisher's medal, to commemorate their achievement. Now these hats will help keep Indianapolis kids warm this winter.
The 2013 Monumental Marathon experienced unprecedented success, due in part to support from Franciscan St. Francis Health and Apex Benefits. The November 2013 event was comprised of three races, a full marathon, half marathon, and 5k, with nearly 14,000 registrants combined. Approximately 11,500 finishers left for a surplus of the hats, and giving back to the community that has embraced this event was a natural fit.
Since its inception in 2008, the IMM has donated over $400,000 to local non-profits in support of public education. Now, the following youth-serving organizations have received winter hats: School on Wheels, Hawthorne Community Center, and Concord Neighborhood Center. Organizations that provide direct services to families and veterans in need received hats as well, including: Dove Recovery House, Wheeler Mission, the Julian Center, Horizon House and HVAF (Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation).
These winter hats are almost as coveted as a medal to the participants that cross the finish line. Thousands of runners and walkers in the central Indiana running community who did finish the Monumental may just see a lot more hats on people around town. Monumental participants should know they are a part of an organization that is making a real impact on the community.
"As a non-profit organization with an explicit mission to combat childhood obesity, the Monumental wants to partner with and support the children in Indianapolis. These hats help not only keep these kids warm, they promote our message of lifelong fitness. That's a benefit to everyone," IMM executive director Blake Boldon said in a press release.
Hundreds of additional hats were shared with Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services through Franciscan St. Francis Health to help keep emergency personnel warm while serving the community.
The IMM has given back in other ways as well. Earlier in 2013 2,000 finisher medals from the 2011 races were donated to the Indiana Sports Corporation's Geared for Health program, and the IMM recently presented checks totaling $122,000 to the IPS Educational Foundation, Simon Youth Foundation and College Summit at the Indiana Pacers home opener in October.

IGFA introduces iPhone app for fishingby Willie Howard
Fishing is an an outdoor adventure sport, meaning you always seem to be out somewhere such as the ocean, the pier or the beach — someplace that's usually way better than your office — which is part of why the fish-crazed among us love it so much.
Anyway, there's sometimes a need for information when a fish comes to the boat or onto the beach or over the rail of the pier.
What kind of fish is it? Is it a world record? (You hope it's big enough to ask that question.) Where can I find a certified scale to weigh it?
If it's close to record size, anglers need to know if the fish was caught according to rules set forth by the International Game Fish Association, the organization that keeps and certifies world records.
Capitalizing on the evolving world of mobile phone technology, the IGFA recently introduced an iPhone application called IGFA Mobile.
The IGFA iPhone app features include:
*A world-record data base with more than 1,100 species that is updated with the latest records.
*Fish ID and habitat information.
*A "my catches" program that allows fish photos to be uploaded to Facebook or e-mailed in one step.
*A list of official IGFA weigh stations.
*A fishing trip planning checklist.
*IGFA rules for fresh and salt water, conventional and fly tackle.
The IGFA's iPhone app costs $8.99. It also works on an iPad.
For more information (or to buy and download the IGFA Mobile app), go to www.igfa.org/Fish/IGFA-Mobile.aspx

The 25th Annual Cleveland Pride Parade, rally, and festival comes right on the heels of the controversial supreme court decision to essentially level the playing field when it comes to gay couples.
The parade is always about pride, but this year, attendee's say it was also about turning the tide in the court of public opinion as well.
At the parade were Shanice and Michelle Sims who left the country to get married.
"We got married in Canada", says Sims.
The Sims' couldn't marry in Cleveland or in Ohio for that matter, but this week the Supreme Court gave gay couples new hope.
Supreme Court Justices narrowly struck down a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act. It would deny the same federal benefits heterosexual spouses have to same sex couples married in states where their marriage is legal.
"To me it equals human rights. Not just about marriage. It means human rights. We're all entitled to it." Said Larry Chrismar of Cleveland.
Cleveland Pride parade, rally and festival also celebrates LGBTQQA progress over the past year.
Today's pride, organizers say is an excellent primer for the Gay Games coming to Cleveland in August of next year.
The event continues tonight until 8 p.m. at Voinavich Park in Cleveland.

I was reading some threads, one post which suggested anything over 50mm was not street photography - it was voyeurism. Albeit, tongue in cheek - but some people seem to be really opinionated about focal lengths.
I have only recently started to try my hand at 'street photography' or 'voyeurism'. Using a 5dm3, I felt most comfortable with my 135L (The 85mm is a bit slow in gaining focus). I did try to go back to my 35mm - but instantly felt lost. I would probably need more time with it, change my thinking, but I enjoyed having a good radius to with the 135mm.
Thanks, I really like your work. You've got a great eye for this, and I'm amazed that you've only been at it a few weeks.
I suggest you believe very little of what you read about "street photography." It's become a term that means something different to everyone, hence it really means nothing. Scads of people who've never taken a picture of someone they don't know will beat you down about how they think it's supposed to be. And many of the so called masters of the "genre" basically stink. I've been doing what I call "public photography" for many years, and my best advice is to define yourself. Understand what it is you want to show through your images and pick your equipment based on that. If what you're doing satisfies you and fulfills your vision, the rest of them can piss off.
The Canon 135mm and the Sigma 35mm are my two preferred lenses on a 5D3; back in the film era I mostly used a 50mm. In my experience the 35mm gets me close enough to show an impression of what's going on (human interactions, typically), and the 135mm I use more for candid portraits. Sometimes in crowded places I'll use a 17-40 and not even raise it to my eye -- just point and shoot (and crop when needed). Since I'm using the 35mm so much nowadays, I'm probably going to get a Fujifilm X100S this spring; it seems to deliver great IQ and it's far less obtrusive. Then I can keep the 135mm on the 5D3 and be ready for anything.
Thanks again for showing your fine work. I'll hope to see more.

The best part of the newly expanded Casey Middle School is how it gives sixth graders more access to the campus, said Casey Principal Mary McGreer.
Now, sixth graders no longer have to walk from the Dr. Andy Hall Early Childhood Center to Casey for their exploratory classes.
Instead, all the sixth grade courses are under one roof at Casey, which makes for a safer, more secure environment for the students, McGreer said.
"I am just so thankful to have our campus combined," McGreer said. "And it helps with safety (and) security. It reduces time out of class due to a reduction of travel. … It just feels like a complete middle school campus now."
McGreer and other District 80 officials celebrated the Casey expansion/renovation at a special open house and ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday night.
They were joined at the new campus by local dignitaries, residents and even some Casey students.
In addition to the ribbon cutting, tours of the Casey facility were also provided. The ceremony was organized as a Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours event.
"It's a wonderful evening in the history of District 80," said Superintendent Mike Green. "Any time you can add a brand new building and improve education for the students and faculty, it'll be a great benefit to the community."
Included in the $6.5 million Casey expansion was the construction of a brand new, two-story addition for sixth grade students.
Furthermore, a new fitness center and cafeteria were added to the campus, along with other features to make the site more handicapped accessible.
McGreer said she was especially proud of the new cafeteria, which seats more than 300 students. The room can also be used for PE activities and as a meeting space since it features a new projector and screen.

Does anybody ever stop and think about what police officers do for us — and have to do for themselves at the same time?
We sometimes criticize them, even deride them, until we need them. Then, we expect them to be supermen and women.
We call them when we are menaced by skunks — both four-legged and human. We call them in family disputes and expect them to conduct themselves with unapproachable restraint and possess the wisdom of Solomon.
We sometimes concede that they have to act to defend themselves — but not a split second before absolutely necessary.
We expect them to be supremely brave, though we, ourselves, are not. But we tend to resent them for accusing us of breaking the law, such as by speeding, driving with one too many alcoholic beverages under our belt or texting while behind the wheel.
So maybe some people read with surprise in Monday's Press-Republican that police officers face the same emotional and mental-health issues to which other humans sometimes fall.
Recently, about 50 law-enforcement personnel in this area attended a Trauma Resources and Unified Management Assistance training program in Plattsburgh. Among the topics was the emotional stress to which police are routinely subjected.
One of the issues covered was the certainty that any police officer will eventually encounter a dangerous or traumatic situation. There is no time to mentally or physically prepare for such an incident. It is simply suddenly upon those involved, and the officer is supposed to react with bravery, compassion, restraint and strength.
The police are called to defuse a crisis that we, ourselves, cannot or will not approach. Their own lives could well be at stake, but they must not overreact. At the same time, underreacting is never an option.
Longtime Clinton County Sheriff David Favro, once a City of Plattsburgh police officer, put it this way, in describing being faced with "a split-second decision between life and death:" "Until you actually live it and see it, it is hard to understand just what the aftermath of a deadly-force encounter is like."
