Debate Team
The Bryan College Debate Team is a student-led parliamentary debate team that has been competing on a local, regional, and national level since 2006. The team meets weekly and competes in 4-5 tournaments a semester.
The Debate Team exists because we believe that debate is an invaluable catalyst in rhetoric and persuasive communication, and that it effectively trains students to think critically and speak well on a variety of issues. The Debate Team is open to students with or without prior debate or public speaking experience. See News & Highlights story.
For more information, contact Faculty Sponsor Michael Palmer.

The accolades for the Beloit College Baseball team rolled in once again last week when the American Baseball Coaches Association announced the 2012 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division III Central Region Team.
Senior left-handed pitcher Alex Norman was named to the Second Team while senior shortstop Jordan Jaenicke was a Third Team selection. Senior outfielder Alex Jennings was named to the Gold Glove Team.
The three honorees mark the second straight season, and the third time in the last four seasons, that the Bucs had three representatives receive recognition from the ABCA. Under head coach Dave DeGeorge, (who just completed his 22nd season at Beloit,) the Buccaneers have now had 13 players honored.

Diagnosing arthritis and other rheumatic diseases is often difficult, as many symptoms are similar among the different diseases. To make an accurate diagnosis, a doctor may need to conduct the following:
Review the medical history
Perform a physical examination
Obtain laboratory tests, X-rays, and other imaging tests
When reviewing your medical history, your doctor may ask the following questions:
Where is the pain?
How long have you had the pain?
When does the pain occur and how long does it last?
When did you first notice the pain?
What were you doing when you first noticed the pain?
How intense is the pain?
What tends to relieve the pain?
Have you had any illnesses or injuries that may explain the pain?
Is there a family history of arthritis or other rheumatic diseases?
What medication(s) are you currently taking?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, the following is a list of common laboratory tests for the diagnosis of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health:
Antinuclear antibody. Measures blood levels of antibodies, which are often present in persons with rheumatic disease.
Arthrocentesis (also called joint aspiration). Obtaining a sample of synovial fluid in the joint for examination by inserting a thin, hollow needle into the joint and removing the fluid with a syringe.
Complement. Measures the level of complement, a group of proteins in the blood; low levels of complement in the blood are associated with lupus.
Complete blood count. Measures the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets present in a sample of blood; a low white blood count (leukopenia), low red blood count (anemia), or low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) are associated with certain rheumatic diseases or the medications to treat them.
Creatinine. A blood test to monitor for underlying kidney disease.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate). A measurement of how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. When swelling and inflammation are present, the blood's proteins clump together and become heavier than normal. Thus, when measured, they fall and settle faster at the bottom of the test tube. Generally, the faster the blood cells fall, the more severe the inflammation.
Hematocrit (PCV, packed cell volume). Measures the number of red blood cells present in a sample of blood. Low levels of red blood cells (anemia) are common in people with inflammatory arthritis and rheumatic diseases.
Rheumatoid factor. Detects whether rheumatoid factor is present in the blood (an antibody found in the blood of most, but not all, people who have rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other rheumatic diseases).
Urinalysis. Laboratory examination of urine for various cells and chemicals, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, infection, or excessive protein; to indicate kidney disease associated with several rheumatic diseases.
White blood cell count. Measures the number of white blood cells in the blood; increased levels of white blood cells may indicate an infection, while decreased levels may indicate certain rheumatic diseases or reaction to medication.
C-reactive protein. A protein that is elevated when inflammation is found in the body. Although ESR and CRP reflect similar degrees of inflammation, sometimes one will be elevated when the other is not. This test may be repeated to test your response to medication.
Uric acid. An indication of gout.
Imaging techniques may give your physician a clearer picture of what is happening to your joint(s). Imaging techniques may include the following:
X-ray. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices), of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Arthroscopy. A minimally-invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure used for conditions of a joint. This procedure uses a small, lighted, optic tube (arthroscope) which is inserted into the joint through a small incision in the joint. Images of the inside of the joint are projected onto a screen; used to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joint; to detect bone diseases and tumors; to determine the cause of bone pain and inflammation.
Joint ultrasound. A diagnostic procedure used occasionally to find inflammation before X-rays show damage.
Bone densitometry (DEXA). An imaging study to measure bone density, used primarily to detect osteoporosis.
Measurement of pain may help your doctor find a diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment. You may be asked to describe your pain on a scale of zero to 10 and/or using certain descriptive words.

I just picked up a 1930's JD Model B manure spreader. This one has the full apron for the floor and wood sides. Can anyone tell me if the sideboards were painted on both sides? On this model, the outside of the boards was red, but I've been told both that the inside was painted, and that it was left plain and just oiled, along with the apron. Thanks, Bob
P.S. There's more red on this one than green!!

The Olympics behind her, Groffy is on the go again.
Sarah Groff earned the women's victory to lead the United States at Saturday's Clermont (Fla.) ITU Sprint Triathlon Pan American Cup at Lake Louisa State Park.
Groff posted a time of 1 hour, 17 seconds on the 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, 5-kilometer run course to earn her third career ITU Pan American Cup win.
Olympian Helle Frederiksen of Denmark was second in 1:00:23, while Kaitlin Donner of Gainesville, Fla., rounded out the women's podium in 1:00:31.
Groff continued to see results from her concentration on improving the running portion of the event. She ran the 5k in 17:43, the fastest run time in the race. Groff also led the pack after the swim portion of the event.
A week earlier, Groff finished second at the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco. She did so despite an upset stomach and a gash on her head that she had to get stapled up after the event.
"I split my scalp open," Groff told Bonnie D. Ford of ESPN.com. "You know, it's a tough enough race as it is, and I kind of made it a lot harder on myself. There's a 20-meter-long tunnel (near the start of the running leg) that's probably five feet (high). You crouch down and run through it. I stood up a hair too quickly and hit it really hard, ended up on the ground.
"The woman who was stapling my head together after the race said, 'Maybe you should have left your helmet on,' and 'I guess you really, really wanted to win,' because I kept on going. Character-building moment, I guess. The next six miles were pretty miserable; I'm not going to lie. Needless to say, when I went back the second time, I was really, really cautious."

Cincinnati Bengals
Adam Jones - #24 - CB
|5' 10"/ 185 lbs.
|College Park, GA
|West Virginia
|Years played
|2005, 1st round, 6th pick by Titans
Key matchup: Steelers run defense vs. Bengals ground game
Can the Bengals get their running game going? We take a closer look in Saturday's key matchup.
AFC North Spin cycle: Costly win for Ravens
The Ravens inched further ahead in the AFC North race, but at a huge price with the losses of Lardarius Webb and Ray Lewis.
Browns top Bengals for first win
Rookie Brandon Weeden threw two touchdown passes and the Browns snapped an 11-game losing streak, beating the Bengals 34-24 Sunday.
Key matchup: Browns return game vs. Bengals coverage units
Stopping Browns RS Joshua Cribbs will be a top priority for Cincinnati, PFW's Mike Wilkening writes.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Five
The Steelers got a win they desperately needed, and they got their running game going, too. More in this week's AFC North Spin cycle.
Bengals place RB Scott on I.R.
The Bengals placed RB Bernard Scott on injured reserve Monday and activated LB Dontay Moch from the suspended list.
Turnovers key Dolphins' win over Cincy
Dolphins S Reshad Jones intercepted Andy Dalton's overthrown pass at midfield with 1:22 left on Sunday, preserving a 17-13 victory over the Bengals.
Bengals' Green playing at elite level
Bengals WR A.J. Green has begun his second NFL season on a tear.
Week Five handicapping column
PFW's Mike Wilkening, 10-5-1 ATS through four weeks, largely sides with underdogs in Week Five, but one favorite also caught his eye.
Newman, Jones pressed into heavy service for Bengals
The Bengals have had to lean on reserve CBs Terence Newman and Adam Jones, and they held up well in the Week Four win at Jacksonville.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Four
While the Steelers rested in Week Four, the Bengals and Ravens pulled further ahead in the AFC North.
Dalton, Green lead Bengals past Jaguars
Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, and the Bengals beat the Jaguars 27-10 Sunday for their third consecutive win.
Key matchup: Bengals passing game vs. Jaguars pass defense
Can the Jaguars slow down the Bengals' thriving passing game? It's one of the more interesting story lines of Week Four.
Bengals re-sign S Crocker
The Bengals re-signed S Chris Crocker on Thursday, the team announced.
AFC North Spin cycle: Week Three
In this week's AFC North Spin cycle, we explore the Ravens' soaring passing game and the Steelers' struggling pass rush.
The Bengals have reached deals with two more of their unrestricted free agents, Jones and receiver Brandon Tate.||||||| That makes five free agents on defense and six on offense or special teams that have decided to stay with Cincinnati. The Bengals' only notable signing from outside the team has been backup quarterback Josh Johnson, who will compete for the job that opened when Bruce Gradkowski signed with Pittsburgh as a free agent.
Jones says he has no love for the Cowboys, who let him go after one season that was disappointing all-around.||||||| Jones has rebuilt his career with Cincinnati (7-5), which hosts Dallas (6-6) on Sunday. He's thankful the Bengals gave him the chance after repeated suspensions while with Tennessee and Dallas. Jones is having one of his best seasons in years, playing regularly on defense and ranking among the NFL's top punt returners. Jones says he loves Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, but had other issues with the organization that he won't rehash.
Jones must pay $11 million in damages to two Las Vegas strip club employees injured in 2007 when a lone gunman claiming he was doing Jones' bidding attacked.||||||| The fact that Jones remains in the NFL is puzzling.
The Bengals re-signed Jones and offensive tackle Anthony Collins on Friday. Cincinnati also signed defensive end Derrick Harvey, a free agent who played for the Broncos last season.||||||| Jones has played five years in the NFL, and will enter his third season with the Bengals. He was sidelined with a neck injury last season, but still played in eight games, including the last seven as a starter. He had 31 tackles.
Jones pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.||||||| Jones entered the plea in Hamilton County Municipal Court just as his non-jury trial was scheduled to begin. A second misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest was dismissed in a plea agreement with prosecutors. Judge Brad Greenberg ordered Jones to serve a year of probation, complete 50 hours of community service and pay a $250 fine plus court costs.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Discover Sitka's fascinating history and natural beauty on foot during this scenic walking tour of the city, and a nature walk at the Sitka National Historical Park.
Depart the pier for a scenic motorcoach tour enroute to the Alaska Raptor Center. At the Raptor Center, you will encounter the swamp-like muskeg soil and alpine meadow where most of Alaska's bird, plant and wild berries thrive.
You will then explore and photograph the Raptor Center's open bird habitat and new Eagle Flight Center, home to bald eagles, owls, hawks and other birds of prey. During your visit, the staff will explain the Raptor Center's mission and answer questions.
Next, you will begin your guided walk into Sitka National Historical Park, where walking trails lined with authentic totem poles will guide you through the lush Tongass National Forest. As you cross the bridge at Indian River where salmon spawn in the late-summer, you will learn about the rain forest ecosystem, and local plant and animal life.
You will continue to walk along the harbor's shoreline to visit St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the Russian Bishop's House. However, a visit inside the Bishop's House is not included in the walk. Along the way, you will see many Victorian-style homes and ornate churches before passing Sheldon Jackson College, home to James Michener during the writing of his book, Alaska.
Your tour will conclude with a transfer back to the pier. If you wish to explore more of Sitka, you can choose to stay downtown and take a free shuttle back to the pier later.
Please note: The tour involves 3 miles of walking over uneven ground, trails and stairways at a steady pace. Guests are advised to dress warmly in layers, and wear sturdy closed-toe walking shoes. An admission ticket will be provided to visit St. Michael's Cathedral on your own after the tour. The order of sites visited may be reversed.

Even though he is not on trial, Columbia, S.C., Mayor Steve Benjamin has taken several hits from the prosecutors in the Jonathan Pinson corruption trial. This has caused some damage to his political image.
There was some disbelief over social media when it was suggested the accused shooter of two Newark New Jersey youth was prompted by his feeling disrespected. The suspect, a 15 year-old boy, is reported to have been angry because he believed two other young men had 'hit' on a girl he was dating. The boy's rage resulted in the death of a 13 year-old girl, Zainee Hailey, who was struck by a stray bullet while taking out the trash on Christmas night. Another victim, a target of the shooter and one of the boys the suspect alleged to have acted disrespectfully toward him, died of his injuries. The third victim was shot in the neck and seriously injured.
GOP strategists have made absolutely no secret that they are loading up for bear against Hillary Clinton, if but more likely when, she announces that she's in for White House in 2016. They've already shelled out millions to assail her on websites, blogs, and in less than discreet digs at her from the Republican National Committee. They've rehashed all the old stuff about Whitewater, the Lewinsky scandal, her tout of health care reform, which was the prelude to the much harangued Affordable Care Act, and most importantly her alleged cover-up of Benghazi.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks -- a trainer in New Zealand is teaching man's best friend to drive -- really!
The SPCA in Auckland thought it would be a good way to showcase how smart rescue dogs are and perhaps improve their adoption rate. So they called on animal trainer, Mark Vette, who was up for the challenge. Click here for more on the story: http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/20270364/2012/12/05/trainers-teach-dogs-to-drive-cars
Out of a pool of seven dogs, Vette chose "Monty," "Ginny" and "Porter." Monty is an 18-month-old giant schnauzer whose owners turned him in when he became "too much for them to handle." Ginny is a 1-year-old whippet mix rescued from abusive owners, and someone found 10-month-old Porter roaming the streets.
Vette explained their strategy. "No animal has ever driven a car before so what we're going to do is we're going to do a straight and we're going to head off, so we'll start the car, get into position, brake on, gear in place, back onto the steering wheel, accelerator, take off and head along the straight and then stop," he said.
"In Cold Blood" murders investigated in Sarasota Countyhttp://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/20270680/2012/12/05/in-cold-blood-murderers-investigated-in-sarasota-county

Baby Jesus kidnapped from nativity displayhttp://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/20270522/2012/12/05/baby-jesus-kidnapped-from-frostproof-display
At first, they started with lots of indoor training with a fake car, using clicker-reinforced targets to teach the dogs how to shift gears, use a brake and steer. "When we chain behaviors together, in this case we've got 10 behaviors we're all putting together, so each behavior is a trained behavior, and then you put them into a sequence. So it's a lot to do, and for the dog to actually start to get an idea of what actually is happening takes quite a long time," Vette said.
Five weeks later, Monty was ready to try the real thing -- on a closed track, of course. Monty hopped right in behind the wheel, put the car into gear, on command, then waited for the trainer to order "A" for accelerator. Then he was off! Monty was driving...some might say a little better than what we sometimes see on Tampa Bay roads!
Monty and the other "drivers" will show off their new skill on national television in New Zealand on December 10th. Vette says after that "test drive," his roving rescue rovers just might be in huge demand. Says Vette, "It will be Dial-a-Dog" the week after this!"

using friends_check_friendship
I have added some extra features to wpmu and using the buddy press friend feature I need to verify friendships.
I do this:
if ( friends_check_friendship( $current_user->ID, $adm_id )
where current_user->ID = the loggedin users ID number, and $adm_id = the user ID of the friend I am comparing too.
my problem is that it always returns false, if I edit the function in bp-friends.php and make it return true then the code works so I know that the error is within that function.
Is there a reason I wouldn't be able to call that function? do I need an include in order to properly use it?
Also, I have tried to just manually put numbers here of two ID's I KNOW are friends, still false return.

A teenage boy waiting for a school bus was struck by a car near Battle Ground, but wasn't found until more than an hour later when a tow truck driver showed up to tow the car away Monday.
Clark County deputies said they first responded to the crash at Northeast 289th Street and 82nd Avenue at 7:09 a.m.
Shaun Johnson, who was behind the wheel of a Nissan Maxima, was heading south on 82nd Avenue when she left the road. Her car crashed into a ditch and went about 100 yards before crashing into a fence and brush at the intersection of Northeast 289th Street.
Johnson suffered a broken arm, and paramedics took her to PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center.
She gave no indication that her car had struck a person at the time, deputies said, but when a tow truck driver showed up to remove the crashed car, he heard someone crying for help at 8:37 a.m.
The tow truck driver found the teenage boy lying in the bushes with severe injuries.
"I heard a faint 'help,' and it went from there," said driver Charles Barrett. "I had to dig to find him. He probably wasn't more than five feet from the car."
Firefighters came to his aid, and a LifeFlight helicopter was called in to rush him to PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center.
"I'm just glad I was there, and I did my second-check because it doesn't always happen like that. A lot of times we don't have the opportunity to check again because of traffic and everything else," said Barrett about his surprising find. "I just hope he gets better."
School officials identified the teen as 16-year-old Justin Carey, a Battle Ground High School sophomore who is a member of the Junior ROTC.
Carey suffered "significant trauma" in the crash, deputies said, and his current condition is unknown.
Deputies said it appeared Carey had been waiting for a school bus at the intersection when Johnson's car hit him, throwing him about 150 feet into the bushes and tall grass.
There were no witnesses to the crash.
"The way the vehicle went into the ditch and crossed 289th and back into the other ditch, I'm assuming that she did not see him because the air bag had deployed," said Barrett about what might have happened based on what he observed at the scene. "If you go in the ditch, you're not paying attention anyway."
The Clark County Sheriff's Office Traffic Homicide Unit is now investigating to determine the exact chain of events and what caused Johnson's car to go off the road.
Battle Ground High School has counselors available at school in case any students need help dealing with the crash.

Riske injures elbow during loss
Brewers reliever to be examined Thursday by team doctor
MILWAUKEE -- Brewers reliever David Riske hyper-extended his right elbow throwing a pitch in the eighth inning Wednesday and will be examined by the team's physician on Thursday.Riske, who signed a three-year free-agent deal with the Brewers in December, has a 4.71 ERA in 18 appearances this season. He entered Wednesday's game with two outs and two men on base in the seventh inning, just after Juan Pierre's RBI single popped out of left fielder Ryan Braun's glove and cut the Brewers' lead to 4-3. Riske struck out Andruw Jones to end that inning, then retired Matt Kemp leading off the eighth before abruptly leaving with the injury. Riske has been on the disabled list only once since 2002, and that was for a lower back strain.

Ready to take the involvement plunge but not sure where to begin? Have you scanned the list of registered clubs and not quite found the match for you? Forming or reactivating a club is a step many students take to be an active member of the FSU community. Each year the deadlines for proposed clubs is published through Student Involvement.
Prior to starting the process, we recommend reviewing the current list of registered clubs and requesting a list of deactivated clubs from Student Government Association. Make sure that the idea of your proposed club does not duplicate the purpose of an existing registered club. Additionally, students may re-activate clubs through the Intent to Register Process outlined below. Forming or reactivating a club involves completing some forms, meeting with Student Involvement, and participating in a 30 minute training session.
To begin the process, the interested student(s) must meet with the Director of Student Involvement (or her designee). During this meeting students share the idea and purpose behind the proposed club and learn about the registration process. Based upon the needs of the proposed clubs, students are guided to the appropriate resources to get things started. In general, proposed clubs have 45 business days to complete the following:
Find a full-time faculty or staff member to serve as an advisor
Complete the Advisor Agreement Form
Hold a General Interest Meeting
Complete the mandatory Hazing Information and Signature Sheet for members
Attend a 30-minute workshop related to the basics of club business
Upon completion of the above items, the proposed club is directed to SGA to begin the Constitution process. After the Constitution is accepted through SGA, the club must conduct elections and submit the Officer Responsibility form to the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership Development. At that time, an organization site is created for the club on Collegiate Link.

Late Thursday afternoon the wreckage was removed from the crash site in a swampy, wooded area about a mile south of the Walker County Airport-Bevill Field to a secure location, Walker County Sheriff John Mark Tirey said.
"Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, along with investigators from my office, have worked throughout the day on this incident," Tirey said.
Tirey said FAA and NTSB officials will now sort through the aircraft and debris in an effort to determine the cause of the crash.
The NTSB announced through its website that a preliminary report should be available 10 business days after the accident. A factual narrative will be released at a later time, the NTSB said.
Jordan Ryan Smith, 17, of Jasper is believed to have been the pilot of the plane. The Associated Press reported Thursday that he had received a student pilot certificate in February 2012. The AP also reported the FAA pointed to regulations that say "a student pilot may not act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying a passenger."
FAA regulations also require a pilot to have a multi-engine rating to fly a twin-engine plane like the Piper PA 30 that crashed just off Wells Loop in Jasper shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Smith's mother, Sherrie Smith, told the AP Wednesday he was one test away from having his pilot's license. She said she talked to him by cell phone about 10 p.m. Tuesday and he said he would be in by his 11:30 p.m. curfew. She said she knew he was out with friends, but did not know they had gone to the airport.
None of the victims owned the plane.
According to FAA records, the plane had its registration canceled in 2010.
The FAA released information Thursday afternoon that the plane's last owner was HiFlight Aviation, LLC, of Jasper. Sale documents and a registration application with the FAA were dated May 2010.
The FAA said the application was returned to HiFlight for corrections on June 28, 2010, and the registration was placed in pending status.
After receiving no response from HiFlight Aviation, the FAA canceled the registration and put a five-year hold on the aircraft's N-number, which is a code used by the FAA to license an airplane.
FAA guidelines state that any operating aircraft must be registered.
Attempts to contact HiFlight Aviation owner Ray Whitworth for comment Thursday were unsuccessful. A number associated with the company had been temporarily disconnected.
The three teenagers who died in the crash all had ties to Meek High School. Smith was a junior at the Winston County school, while 17-year-old Jordan Seth Montgomery, of Arley, was a senior. Brandon Tyler Ary, 19, of Arley, was a 2011 Meek graduate.
Meek Principal Marla Murrah said counselors were available Thursday for students who needed to speak to someone.
"Our students have done about as well as you could expect today," she said.
Murrah said she knew all three of the crash victims.
"All three of them were good young men," she said. "They always had positive attitudes and were hardworking students. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families."
The school will have a balloon release to honor Smith, Montgomery and Ary. Murrah said the date for the event has not been set.
"It will probably be some time next week," she said. "The students all liked the idea of a balloon release, but we don't want to rush to allow the families to have some time on their own."
Funeral arrangements for two of the three teens have been finalized.
Visitation for Montgomery and Ary will be at 6 p.m. Saturday at Collins-Burke Funeral Home in Jasper.
Funeral services for Montgomery will be held on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the chapel at Collins-Burke Funeral Home with Josh Hutto officiating. Burial will be in the Kennedy Cemetery.
Funeral services for Ary will be Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in the chapel of Collins-Burke Funeral Home. Burial will be in the Meek Baptist Church Cemetery in Arley.
Funeral arrangements for Smith will be announced later by Collins-Burke.
The Daily Mountain Eagle's Elane Jones and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

In December, OSHA announced a three-month extension of its temporary enforcement guidelines for residential fall protection. That marked the fourth consecutive short-term extension of the guidelines since the new fall-protection rule — generally referred to as Subpart M — was fully implemented in September 2011. The guidelines are now set to expire on March 15. (Builders who have grown comfortable with those repeated extensions should remember that the fall-protection rules themselves are still very much in effect — the temporary enforcement guidelines simply hold out the possibility of mitigated penalties for builders who have made good-faith efforts to comply.)
This latest extension will probably benefit some builders who are still struggling to comply with the rule. But the evident need for yet another extension also lends credence to what critics of Subpart M have been saying all along: that the rule is too complicated and difficult to use effectively on the job site.
Layered protection and a 15-foot limit. Fortunately, there's reason to hope that an easier-to-follow version of Subpart M may be in the offing. On December 7 — at about the same time that OSHA was announcing the latest enforcement-guideline extension — NAHB delivered a 40-page petition to the agency, asking it to reopen and amend the standard itself. In an accompanying letter, the association urged OSHA to adopt "a layered, risk-based approach to fall protection."
Among other matters, the NAHB proposal calls for a reexamination of the working height above a lower level that triggers the need for fall protection. NAHB safety expert Rob Matuga suggests that the 6-foot height limit in the current federal rule hasn't worked very well. "We know from talking to people that it's difficult to get them to take the 6-foot distance seriously. They just don't see it as much of a hazard," he says.
Instead, the NAHB proposal calls for a trigger height of 15 feet for certain tasks. That figure, Matuga notes, was not chosen arbitrarily: Residential builders in California — where a state-administered OSHA standard is in effect — already use a 15-foot limit, as does OSHA's current federal rule for steel erection.
Come together. Sometime this winter, according to Matuga, NAHB and OSHA will likely meet to discuss the proposal. And while any actual changes to the rule probably won't be finalized for years — if they happen at all — the two organizations have successfully teamed up on the same issue in the past. (NAHB, in fact, spoke out in favor of scrapping the old interim fall-protection rule in favor of Subpart M.)
"If we can make the standard easier to comply with, that will be better for everyone," Matuga says. — J.V.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — It's getting to be put up or shut up time in college football. Some teams are running out of space to win a championship, others running out of space to save a season.
Both are represented in this week's Tense 10 — 10 games with something to be proven.
1. Stanford at USC: The Trojans are unranked with a 7-3 record, and that has only happened six other times in history. But then, how good can you be if your coach gets canned? Still, USC has shown considerable signs of life, especially on defense, and suddenly is a genuine threat against a Stanford team that has the Rose Bowl on its mind.
2. Michigan State at Nebraska: One minute, Bo Pelini is fighting for his job at Nebraska. The next, if the Cornhuskers win this game, he's in the car pool lane to Indianapolis and the Big Ten championship game. If the Spartans win, the Legends Division is nearly in the bag. But they'll have to do something about that 0-7 all-time record against Nebraska.
3. Michigan at Northwestern: It can't get much worse for either, but it will for one. The Wolverines have lost three of their last four games and — somewhere Bo Schembechler must be scowling — has minus-69 yards rushing the past two games. Northwestern has dropped five in a row. Without a speedy recovery, the Wildcats will collapse from a 4-0 start and top 25 ranking to not even playing in a bowl.
4. Florida at South Carolina: Will Muschamp needs some good news fast, before he becomes as unpopular in Florida as frost on the orange crop. The Gators have not lost five games in a row in 34 years. But they might Saturday. Injuries have not helped the cause. Only five Florida players have started all nine games.
5. Texas Tech vs. Baylor in Arlington: The air space should be busier than rush hour at O'Hare, with Texas Tech averaging a nation-leading 408 passing yards a game and Baylor nearly 391. The Bears yearn to stay unbeaten and remain the mystery guests in the BCS hunt, hoping a couple of the big guys ahead swerve off the road. And they have the all-time NCAA scoring record in their crosshairs. Army of 1944 averaged 56 points a game. Baylor is at 61.
6. Georgia at Auburn: Here's the plan for 9-1 Auburn. Grind down the Bulldogs with the running attack that chews up 320 yards a game, and then start the two-week preparation for Armageddon. That's when Alabama comes to town. Now if only Georgia will cooperate. But the Bulldogs have scored 76 unanswered points against the Tigers going back to the first quarter in 2011.
7. Miami at Duke: Funny, how different the same 7-2 record can feel. Suddenly, Miami is needing to salvage a year that began to go sour at Florida State. Suddenly, Duke is celebrating its first winning season in 19 years and talking about playing for the ACC championship. The Blue Devils' defense has scored as many fourth-quarter touchdowns this season (2), as it has allowed.
8. Alabama at Mississippi State: Alabama keeps churning its way toward history, winning eight of its nine games by at least 21 points, Nick Saban warns of letdowns and everyone else looks for cracks. Probably none to be found this week. The Tide have outscored Mississippi State 155-34 their last five meetings.
9. Ohio State at Illinois: Evan Spencer will not be doting the "i" in Script Ohio this week, after his brash words about wiping the floor with Alabama and Florida State annoyed Urban Meyer. But all the Buckeyes are starting to grumble about their No. 3 BCS spot and can afford to show no mercy. They've won 21 in a row. Illinois has dropped 19 consecutive Big Ten games. You do the math.
10. Oklahoma State at Texas: Texas has made the U-turn of the season with six consecutive wins so the Mack Brown hit squad has been furloughed. In its first three leaky weeks, the Longhorn defense allowed an average of 308 yards per game, with two total sacks. In the six games since, it has allowed an average of 123 yards with 25 sacks. Oklahoma State, with its own Big 12 title designs, has 71 players from Texas on its roster.

EDWARDS, Ill -- Water have receded in Edwards leaving behind massive devastation for its residents.
Residents in Edwards say the waters rose so quickly they only had time to save themselves.
"The water came in within probably 30 minutes, didn't have time to get anything out," said Bill Homan who came to help his daughter with cleanup efforts.
Thursday afternoon several feet of water covered the main level of his daughter's home, by Friday mid-morning the water was gone.
"I would say it's totaled. The foundation is gone, everything inside, it's just devastating," said Homan, choking up while surveying the damage.
About two dozen homeowners in the low-lying area of Edwards are facing similar situations. Employees at the Edwards tap could only watch Thursday as the waters rose.
"This window right behind me it came up to the window. Inside the water line is about 5 feet high," said Sara Southey, a bartender at Edwards Tap
Employees, friends and customers are lending a hand cleaning up, saving anything they can.
"I mean we can salvage the appliances or anything like that it won't be as bad, but if we can't salvage any of that we're just...thousands and thousands of dollars," said Southey.
Residents and volunteers say they can't do this alone. Besides a utility crew they have not gotten any help from the county or state.
"I would have thought there would have been some representatives here already. Unfortunately, there hasn't been yet. Hopefully we can get this stuff taken care and these people can get on with their lives," said Dennis Homan, there to help his niece.
It seems only time and hard work will get their lives back to normal.

The roof was torn off of a Fall River Elementary School due to the strong winds on Thursday morning.
A few faculty members were inside the Resiliency Preparatory School ( the old Westall Elementary School) on Maple Street at the time the incident took place. When the roof tore off the faculty members where immediately evacuated. Students were on the way to school at the time and they were not allowed in because of the damage,
The school is closed Thursday and Friday and officials are looking for a location to relocate classes.
The school is the oldest school in Fall River dating back to the 1800's. Officials say they would like to repair the building but it may not be possible because of the cost of the repairs.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Bristol Rugby and matches between Wasps and Bristol over the years.
In a dogged fight to the death, Wasps collected four points and their aim of a win - game by game with a tough run into the end of the season ahead of them.
The home side were forced into a change in their front row, when Pat Barnard's lingering knee injury ruled him out. This gave a debut to Wasps Academy and England Under 20 prop Bob Baker. The only other late change to the side was seen on the bench where Rob Hoadley replaced Mark Odejobi.
Wasps made their intentions clear from the start, when they turned down two kickable penalties in the first two minutes. The forwards hammered at the Bristol line, in a series of drives, but they were kept out by resolute defence, before eventually deciding to go for goal when a further penalty was awarded deep inside the 22. Danny Cipriani made no mistake with the kick after nine minutes.
Wasps then had to make a substitution when Dan Leo came on for John Hart - who'd taken a heavy knock in the first two minutes. Bristol came back strongly and Mark Van Gisbergen was forced into a slick piece of work near the corner, when a Bristol kick found space. The visitors then took a deserved lead, after 21 minutes, when they switched the direction of an attack, to send winger David Lemi racing clear down the left to cross for a well-worked try which Ed Barnes could not convert. Wasps immediately regained the lead, when Cipriani landed his second close-range penalty.
Bristol went back in front on the half-hour with another fine try. After winning a lineout on the Wasps 22, on the left, Lemi came into the line from the blindside, the ball was worked out to right-winger Lee Robinson, who went over in the corner. The conversion from Barnes just crept over the bar to make it 12-6.
Wasps finally brought their supporters to line when a charging run from Rob Webber's powerful charge took play up to half way. He combined well with Tom Rees and Eoin Reddan before the ball was released to the backs, who advanced into the Bristol 22 where the visitors were penalised near the right touchline. It was Cipriani's hardest kick of the game, but the fly half completely miss-hit and it went wide.
The final action of the half saw Lachlan Mitchell launch a counterattack, after a Barnes penalty, which would have marked the end of the first 40 minutes, missed touch. Mark Van Gisbergen set off on a mazy run and combined with Serge Betsen, who forced his way into the 22. Bristol infringed at the breakdown and Cipriani landed a simple kick, as lock Roy Winters made his way to the sinbin, with the halftime score 12-9 to the visitors.
After a powerful opening, Wasps had rather lost their way and were rather fortunate to only trail by three points. Bristol had defended well and looked dangerous in attack, with the elusive Lemi a constant threat. The Wasps pack, with Richard Birkett making his 200th appearance, had provided plenty of possession, but the backs were still struggling to find the fluency they've been seeking all season.
Wasps made one telling substitution for the second half, with Dave Walder replacing Cipriani. Five minutes after the break, Walder had the chance to make the score level, after Robinson dropped Reddan's kick and Shaun Perry played the ball in an offside position - but the long kick at goal went just wide. Tom Voyce then put Wasps into a fine attacking position with a magnificent kick from deep inside his own half, which rolled into touch near the corner, but a knock on at the lineout gave Bristol a scrum, at which Wasps were penalised. The kick failed to find touch and another Wasps attack ended with a knock on just short of the line, after another penetrative run by the lively Van Gisbergen. By now, Winters had competed his ten minutes in the bin but his place was taken by Mariano Sambucetti meaning that Wasps had failed to take advantage of their numerical superiority.
Wasps continued to go on the offensive, with Josh Lewsey's power punching a series of holes in the Bristol defence but frustratingly they could not apply the finish touch to a series of promising positions, until the 57th minute, when a sustained attack, which had begun inside their own half, ended with Lachlan Mitchell taking debutant Bob Baker's long pass to dive over in the corner - for his second try in two weeks. Walder added the extra points with a magnificent kick from the touchline.
With tension high, both sides were conceding regular penalties and the game was becoming a disjointed affair. Wasps came close to a second try, after another fine counterattack by Van Gisbergen. The ball went out wide to right and Waldouck's chip ahead, from just outside the 22 bounced awkwardly for the defence, giving Mitchell another run for the line, but he was stopped just short.
They again went close, after the ball squirted from a scrum inside the Bristol 22. Reddan gathered and fed Betsen who was stopped just short. He flicked the ball towards George Skivington, but it was down at his toes and he couldn't gather with the line at his mercy.
Reddan was then within a whisker of scoring, as he chased his own kick ahead, but the ball bounced high and he couldn't hang on a few metres short of the line. Walder then limped from the field, and Rob Hoadley came on, for the final five minutes.
Another Wasps substitution had seen Charlie Beech replace Baker and it was Beech who ended a move set up by his own turnover, inside the Bristol 22. Hoadley went through a gap, and was stopped just short of the line. The ball was quickly recycled and the Academy prop dived gleefully over, for his second try of the season.
Wasps fans were still celebrating the score which they thought had made the game safe, when Bristol came storming back with a second try from Robinson - who won the race to a kick to the corner. Barnes narrowed the gap to two points with a superb conversion, to set up a nail biting finale.
With the clock at zero, Bristol ran a penalty from inside their game, but tenacious defence ended with man of the match Reddan stealing possession in the tackle, and the whistle went, to stretch Wasps run of home Premiership wins to six.
The men in black and gold now head into a tough run of fixtures with Saracens away next Sunday – the start of three games in seven days but bolstered by the four points the focus is the challenge ahead and another set of four points!

Blair: Thatcher death celebrations in 'poor taste'
Tony Blair said the celebrations of Baroness Thatcher's death were in "poor taste".
Speaking to BBC Radio Ulster, he said: "Even if you disagree with someone very strongly, you can still particularly at the moment of their passing, you should show some respect."
Mr Blair was asked if he worried there would be similar celebrations when he dies.
He replied: "When you decide, you divide. I think she would be pretty philosophical about it and I hope I will be too."

Painter in for Bridge - and Brezovan gets late call
2:32pm Saturday 17th November 2012 in Albion By Brian Owen
Wayne Bridge will be missing for the first time this season as Albion kick-off at Huddersfield.
The former England left-back, who went off at Wolves last Saturday with a calf injury, is replaced by Marcos Painter in defence.
Albion also suffered a blow in the warm-up when goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak damaged a finger.
Peter Brezovan, initially promoted to the bench today, will start.
It is one of five changes to the side which kicked off at Molineux.
Dean Hammond, Will Buckley and Ashley Barnes all return to the XI in place of Andrew Crofts, David and Stephen Dobbie.
Adam El-Abd does not make his comeback from a hamstring injury. Lewis Dunk continues in central defence.
Huddersfield have also suffered an injury setback.
Jermaine Beckford is ruled out but the Terriers have a ready-made replacement in four-goal top scorer Lee Novak, who partners home debutant Simon Church.
Danny Ward, scorer of Town's winner at Withdean last April, returns on the left wing.
Huddersfield: Smithies; Hunt, Clarke, Lynch, Dixon; Clayton, Norwood, Southern, Ward; Novak, Church. Subs: Bennett, Woods, Gerrard, Hammill, Arfield, Lee, Robinson.
Albion: Brezovan; Bruno, Greer, Dunk, Painter; Bridcutt, Hammond, Orlandi; Buckley, Barnes, Mackail-Smith. Subs: Calderon, Dicker, David, Hoskins, LuaLua, Dobbie.

I love Todd Frazier but the fact that he was our best right handed hitter this year and we still made the playoffs is amazing.

Choo is a problem.Exactly right. Votto, Choo and Bruce aren't the problem.
If the Reds really want to improve the situation, then upgrading SS, C and the 3rd OF is where you start.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Very interesting thread. The fact that the Reds have only five position players at 100+ wRC+, and that the Pirates, Cards, Braves, and Dodgers all have 8 or 9 guys in that category is very disheartening. However, the Reds did outscore all NL teams in 2013 except the Cardinals and Rockies. Why was that?
This one was a perfect one. I dont know if I can find a better one, better timing. He [Price] really said some great things there. It really encouraged us to go back and do what we do. I didnt know he could speak like that. Brayan Pena 5/21/14
GullyFoyle (10-09-2013)
The question I have is why the Reds didn't have a better record given the high total runs scored and good run prevention ability. Some possible answers.
Offense lacked quick strike ability in close games, relatively low SLG and homers for GABP team. Too much dependence on a few hitters who weren't always hot. OBP misleading because built on walks, team didn't hit that much, low BA. Bullpen failures on the road. Weakness against good teams - stats inflated by performance v. weaker clubs.
These aren't answers, just possible ones. But the question why the Reds underperformed their team stats is interesting.

How, then, are those people of the futurewho are taking steroids every daygoing to look back on baseball players who used steroids? They're going to look back on them as pioneers. They're going to look back at it and say "So what?" - Bill James, Cooperstown and the 'Roids

Correct. Lose him and the project of improving the offense becomes Sisyphean.His questionable return as a free agent, especially considering the number of holes already present in the everyday lineup.

Members of Jasper First Church of the Nazarene were joined by several guests invited to attend a groundbreaking ceremony for the new church.
The church was destroyed on Aug. 9, 2013, by a fire that started after a lightning strike during a severe thunderstorm moving through the city.
Jasper firefighters worked for several hours trying to save the building, which was engulfed in flames that reached more than 100 feet into the air.
Jasper Fire Chief David Clark, who was among those who fought the blaze, attended Sunday's service.
Jeremy Pass, pastor of Jasper First Church of the Nazarene, said Monday that church members have been diligent in their belief that the church will return even stronger than before.
"We're celebrating a new beginning," Pass said, adding that the past few months have been challenging for the church and its members.
"It's been a long road," he said. "It's been a road that has made us question 'Why?' and asking God 'What is your plan now?'"
In addition to the fire, the church went through a change in leadership that included the loss of the church's pastor and youth pastor.
Pass, the former youth pastor at the church, was named the church's pastor in February.
"Slowly and surely, we've put things back together and built things up even better," he said.
Since his appointment as pastor, Pass said he has prayed many times for guidance as to rebuilding the church.
"We started off the year just praying and fasting and asking God to put the right thing together, and He gave us a wonderful company to help us with this project."
IDC, Inc., based in Irondale, was selected to rebuild the church, Pass said.
"They are a great group of Christian men who we feel will do a great job for us," he said.
David Thrasher, president of IDC, Inc., was among those who participated in Sunday's groundbreaking.
"They've gone above and beyond who they are," Pass said, adding that the company provided a flatbed truck for Sunday's ceremony, as well the sholvels used in the groundbreaking.
"They've been awesome," Pass said. "That says a lot about who they are."
The new church will be slightly bigger than the previous building, with a few minor differences.
"It will sit on the same footprint," he said, "but it will be arranged differently."
Where the main sanctuary did sit, Pass said that will be the children's sanctuary, as well as children's classrooms and a nursery. That will flow into a common area and foyer. The main sanctuary will be where the children's church once was.
The church will be built in three phases, with the children's area part of Phase 1, followed by the common area and foyer as Phase 2 and the main sanctuary as Phase 3.
The church's parking lot will also see a few changes, he said.
The project also calls for construction of a new field to host the church's Upward football program.
"That's exciting because it will allow us to do more outreach," Pass said.
In all, the project is expected to take about two years, Pass said.
The first two phases should be completed in a little more than a year, with the final phase taking another year to complete.
In 1996, the church suffered extensive damage from another fire.
Going through an emotional event like a fire has helped strengthen the church, Pass said.
"It really has," he said. "From what I see, it really has strengthened our church."
Members have been resilient in their belief that the church will remain strong, he said.
"Some have said that the Lord wasn't done with us then, and He's not done with us now," he said. "Someone told me last night that every time you build back, you build bigger and stronger. And we have, and we will."

The U. S. Postal Service wants to increase the price of a first-class stamp to 49¢, blaming the need on its financial woes. But the root of the problem is what the service has to do for retirees.
The USPS has been under a huge financial strain for the last several years. The service had a net loss of $15.9 billion last fiscal year, and expects to lose $6 billion this year.
But in 2006, it was doing well, with lots of mail to deliver, but then Congress changed the rules, and the USPS has been struggling ever since.
Washington required the service to PRE-fund its retiree benefits for the next 75 years. But the crushing blow was the demand from Congress that USPS pay that money over the next decade.
"That's a lot of money, when you look at it," said customer Antonio Bready. "Especially if you use the mail to mail off your bills and mail letters or whatever the case may be, that adds up to be a lot of money.""With email, Twitter, people got better ways to communicate others than mail," said local business owner The Rabbitman. "The paperwork is almost dead. If you ain't got a computer you are through."
Over half the $16 Billion the USPS lost last year was caused by the pension funding requirement imposed by Congress.
The proposed new prices would take effect on Jan. 26, 2014, if approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission.

Set on 55 acres in Myrtle Beach, SC, the new Hard Rock Park theme park officially opened with a performance by the Eagles in early June. Like the Hard Rock Cafe chain, the park celebrates the history of rock 'n' roll through memorabilia, but this new, $400 million venture takes such hero worship to a new level, including a Led Zeppelin-inspired rollercoaster — riders' screams accompany a specially arranged version of "Whole Lotta Love" — a nightly pyrotechnics show, and a new, 10,000-spectator open-air venue for touring acts called the LIVE! amphitheatre.
One of four live performance spaces around the park, the amphitheatre's roofed stage is 97' wide, 40' deep, and has a trim height of 30'. The space was large enough to accommodate an orchestra supporting The Moody Blues at the park's grand opening, and many other outdoor touring acts, as well as local talent. Jim Burton, Hard Rock Park's technical director, says, "We have the size and flexibility to load in just about anyone. Kid Rock came with a 30' thrust stage, so it was a really good set up for everyone — not quite in the round but close."
Each of the spaces has a High End Systems Wholehog iPC console, and Burton relied heavily on High End Systems fixtures, as well. "In the amphitheatre, we have 18 Studio Color 575s, 18 Studio Spot 575s, and a lot of conventional PAR fixtures," he says. An ice show, Country on the Rocks, also features Studio Spots and Studio Color 575s lighting a 50'×50' ice stage with a complete fly rail system with 40 line sets. Although the audience is covered at the Malibu Beach Party attraction, the stage is exposed to accommodate motorcycle stunts and a diving pool, and Burton relied on conventionals for reliability, with Lycian 1267 Super Arc followspots to follow the action.
Another partially open air show, Roadies: The Stunt Show, chronicles a bungling roadie knocking over equipment on his first day on the job. His mishaps lead to the (staged) destruction of more expensive hardware than even The Who took down in its heyday, and stunt men repel down from a "lighting rig" in a way that, in the real world, would make the rigging standards team from ESTA cringe in horror.
Burton has PAR64s, ETC Source Four 26° ellipsoidals, and Martin Profiles in his rig. "I was at LDI, and I looked at the Martin Profile and thought it would be the instrument of choice for this venue," he says, adding that, for this venue, it "has the punch we needed." Roadies uses about 80 different pyro shots supplied by Farmingdale, NY-based Bay Fireworks, who also supplied pyro for the nightly lagoon extravaganza.
Eleven show fountains shooting up to 60' and 125 supporting fountains perform to "Bohemian Rhapsody," accompanied by pyro on three barges and 40 pylons hosting more than 1,000 shots.
