Marshall Bjorklund scored 26 points to lead North Dakota State to a road victory over Notre Dame, 73-69, in the BlackRock Gotham Classic at Purcell Pavilion on Wednesday night. Lawrence Alexander added 16 points and a career-high 14 rebounds to help the Bison (7-3) earn their fifth straight win.
Pat Connaughton scored 21 to lead Notre Dame (7-3).
Jerian Grant hit a pair of free throws to get the Irish within one point, 67-66, after Bjorklund fouled out with 42.1 seconds left, but Taylor Braun knocked down a pair from the line, then stole the ball as the Irish pressed for a shot. He fed the ball ahead to Kory Brown, who slammed it in with 16 seconds left to seal the victory. Braun finished with 13 points.
NDSU becomes just the second Summit League team in history to win a road game against an ACC opponent (IUPUI, 12/29/01 at Georgia Tech). This was NDSU's first meeting with an ACC opponent.
Entering tonight, Notre Dame was 124-10 at home since the start of the 2006-07 season and 76-2 in its last 78 home non-conference games.
Connaughton scored a pair of breakaway baskets five minutes into the second half to give the Irish their first lead since 7:12 of the first half. The second, a one-handed slam after Garrick Sherman tipped the ball away from Bjorklund on the other end, brought the Notre Dame crowd to life for the first time since the opening tip and capped a 9-2 run.
After the Bison scored six straight get their lead back to three, Connaughton knocked down a 3-pointer to tie it with 9:20 to go, but the Irish couldn't keep their momentum going.
Bjorklund responded with consecutive buckets down low as the Irish continued to fire, and miss, from the arc. Their next four shots from the field after Connaughton's three were misses from deep, but Atkins managed a traditional three-point play on a tough drive to the hoop with 6:21 to go to get Notre Dame back within one.
But North Dakota State kept feeding Bjorklund in the paint, and he continued to deliver, knocking down two more jump hooks in the lane to put the Bison back up by five points.
Notre Dame countered by switching to a zone, and Tom Knight corralled a steal and blocked a Bjorklund shot on consecutive possessions.
Another Connaughton 3-pointer at 2:11 cut the Bison lead back to two.
The Bison took a 39-37 lead into halftime after shooting 58 percent (14-for-24), including 71 percent (5-of-7) from 3-point range. Bjorklund, Alexander and Braun each had 10 points in the first half, while Notre Dame's Demetrius Jackson knocked down three 3-pointers and scored 11.
Neither team led by more than six points all game.
NDSU will play next at No. 2-ranked Ohio State on Saturday, Dec. 14.

text: Our National Parks might be the best idea ever! I live just north of the country's first National Park, Yellowstone. After traveling the world, I still think that Yellowstone is the most impressive place on earth. Wildlife, mountains and geysers are just a few of the quick highlights. But, here in the USA, we have so many other National Parks to explore. I have filmed at a great deal of them, and every time I do, I fall in love with them for their own specific reason. Yosemite's massive granite walls, The Grand Canyons views, Death Valley's spring wild flowers and Acadia's misty shores. And…that is just the short list! These jewels are the most valuable resource we have in this country and it is a resource we can preserve and pass on to many more generations. The purity and freedom that these lands contain is contagious to all that touch it. We have the opportunity to experience this at any time and the responsibility to share it. The National Parks will live on forever, as long as we continue to value their pricelessness.

The Democrats running to unseat Republican Congressman David Rivera ripped the scandal-plagued incumbent on Tuesday.
But they also turned on each other.
Candidate Gustavo Marin, of Perrine, suggested that fellow Democrats Joe Garcia and Gloria Romero-Roses were "butterflies and carpetbaggers" because they didn't live in the newly drawn Kendall-to-Key West district.
But the real tensions came at the end of the Miami Herald editorial board interview Tuesday when Garcia and Romero-Roses rehashed the substance of their attack-ad mailers.
Garcia, a lawyer, suggested Romero-Roses, a businesswoman, was anti-labor. He pointed out that she worked for a company that managed employees at Miami Beach's Sunset Harbor South condominium, which was at the center of a Services Employee International Union dispute.
"When you have a woman that has three children, is making minimum wage and asks for healthcare and can't get it and gets fired because of it, that's not right," Garcia said. "And that is a place where we disagree. We have serious value differences."
Romero-Roses shot back that Garcia had "mischaracterized" her actions and took a "cheap shot." She said she had nothing to do with the dispute in which the National Labor Relations Board rapped the company for violating the National Labor Relations Act.
"When I was employed by the Continental Group, my role was to make sure employees had access — full access — to their health insurance, as well as their 401(k) plan," Romero Roses said. "And what he is referring to, occurred at an NLRB finding in 2004 before I was even employed by the company."
Garcia, in turn, took issue with Romero-Roses for linking him to failed energy giant Enron.
"I'm reading Republican attacks from two and four years ago being rehashed by Democrats," Garcia said. "I don't think it does us any good."
While the Democrats disagree on who's best to face Rivera, each say any of them is better than the incumbent Republican. They all agree that tax cuts for oil and pharmaceutical companies should expire along with the so-called "Bush tax cuts" on those earning more than $250,000 annually.
Rivera narrowly avoided up to 52 state charges stemming from his apparent personal use of political campaign money.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's office, which began investigating Rivera over a secret $500,000 dog-track contract, declined to charge the Republican because the law was ambiguous in some cases and in other cases the statute of limitations for his alleged crimes had expired.
But Rivera still faces a federal investigation, which isn't expected to be wrapped up before the November general elections.
"Rivera doesn't have to be criticized," said Marin, a consultant and businessman. "He's totally a corrupt politician that will end up where he should be ending up, eventually, if justice really works. Justice hasn't worked at the state level apparently yet. I hope it does work at the federal level."
Rivera, in a written statement, noted that Garcia was called an "opportunist" by Romero-Roses, who was accused of "lying" by Garcia.
"They're both right," Rivera wrote. "And while Democrats keep trying to distract attention from Barack Obama's failed economic policies with their mudslinging, Congressman Rivera will as always remain focused on improving the economy and creating jobs."
Despite his legal problems and discrepancies with his financial disclosure forms, Rivera is still widely viewed as tough to beat in the new district.
But, unlike Rivera's old congressional seat, the District 26 includes liberal-leaning Monroe County. It's almost evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, though Republican Gov. Rick Scott and 2008 presidential candidate John McCain narrowly beat their Democratic rivals in their respective elections.
The Democratic Party has promised to help whichever Democrat survives the Aug. 14 primary, but the party has already made a mess of the race. Its original candidate, state Rep. Luis Garcia, was undermined by party elders who tried to recruit another candidate, former Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas who ultimately didn't run.
Garcia quit the race to run for county commission, paving the way for Joe Garcia and Romero-Roses.
"I don't belong to an organized political party. I'm a Democrat," joked Joe Garcia, who unsuccessfully ran against Rivera in 2010 and U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart in 2008. Garcia said some party officials asked him to run again.
Garcia spoke favorably of Luis Garcia, while Romero-Roses said she and other Democrats were "frustrated" by his campaign. Romero-Roses said she was "encouraged" by failed 2010 governor candidate Alex Sink and failed 2004 Senate candidate Betty Castor to run for the seat.
Said Marin: "I was not recruited by the party. I sometimes wonder if there is a party, quite frankly."
Marin, who has the least money of the Democratic candidates, said he was the only candidate in the race who isn't taking "special-interest" money. A fourth Democrat, Lamar Sternad, isn't fundraising much, either, and was a no-show Tuesday.
Marin dwelled more on his outsider status. Romero-Roses repeatedly mentioned the need to make the wealthy, herself included, pay their "fair share" in taxes. And Garcia repeatedly talked about foreclosures and helping homeowners who need help refinancing their mortgages.
"Congress needs to do something aggressive because I don't think the executive [branch] has done enough nor has the power to do it," he said, noting that in some areas of the district, "every fifth home is in foreclosure."
Garcia's Miami Beach home isn't in the district, but he said he has lived and worked there and would move to there if elected — even though federal law doesn't require it. Rivera doesn't live in the district. Romero-Roses said she might move from Southwest Ranches. But she might not.
"I don't know what the future might hold," she said.

Are builtin security features allied to secure user behavior enough to protect a Linux system? Or should I install an antivirus software?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems.. It's 100% free, no registration required.
If its a company server then yes you should have anti-virus on it. If you don't and it gets infected, you will either get your balls kicked, or get fired. Neither is good.
At home, you can take more of a chance. however, if you have windows machines, the Linux samba shares can act as safe haven for the virus and can keep reinfecting your windows machines.
Whilst it's quite rare to catch a linux virus or worm, but they do appear from time to time. Having a SSH port available to the internet is a major well known risk, there may well be other common attack methods for linux home servers.
I suggest a virus scanner (clamav) on server machines. You could run one also on desktop linux to stop spreading infections.

no mercyful fate album deserves less than four stars,but this one pushes that notion.some tracks are really great,some sound a little tired.i think that is the key word here,"tired".
just doesnt come across as that inspired.having said that,though,it BLOWS away the vast majority of what is tagged "metal" nowadays………………
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
no mercyful fate album deserves less than four stars,but this one pushes that notion.some tracks are really great,some sound a little tired.i think that is the key word here,"tired".
Giving you a brief rundown of where I stand, I thought "Beginning" and "Melissa" were good. I did NOT like "Don't Break the Oath." I thought "In the Shadows" defined the term 'major comeback.' "Time" was an interesting gentler side of Mr. Diamond. "Into the Unknown" was an uneven record, but it did have its moments. Well, on "Dead Again," guitarist Mike Denner was replaced with Mike Wead. (This leaves King Diamond and Hank Shermann as the only remaining original members.) While some people will obviously miss Mike Denner, Mike Wead actually fills the spot well, and the truth is, "Dead Again" may actually be Mercyful Fate's best record! This is arguably the strongest lineup Mercyful Fate had and King's vocals are in outstanding shape. 'Torture' is a powerful opener with frightening lyrics and a driving edge. 'The Night' has a dark tone made more prevalent by the guitar work. Songs of lost love are not too common on Mr. Diamond's records, but 'Since Forever' is a frighteningly well put together track that convincingly combines sorrow and rage. (On this song, the team work of Shermann and Wead is really prevalent.) 'The Lady Who Cries' is less intense, but it is still dark and haunting. On 'Banshee,' Mr. Diamond shows us yet again, that sometimes softer and more quiet = more eerie. 'Mandrake' is a good song that releases the tension for a moment. 'Sucking Your Blood' is a surprisingly frightening song that is told from the eyes of a vampire. The real terror begins with 'Dead Again.' Skillfully preceeded by some soft classical guitar, Mr. Diamond unleashes 13 minutes of different types of music unified by lyrics portraying someone wandering through different images of death, and of course Mr. Diamond's unusual talent for organization. As far as Hank Shermann and Mike Wead's guitar work, I can honestly say they may not get the kudos that Eddie Van Halen, Jim Hendrix, or Steve Vai get, but Shermann and Wead are the better guitarists. 'Fear' is an almost thrash song that follows 'Dead Again' as well as could have been expected. The record has a real intense and frightening end with 'Crossroads.' Shermann and Wead again show that this may be the best guitar tandem that King Diamond ever had. And of course King's vocals are unleashed full blast for this final track of terror. Generally, I try to understand the different opinions of others. But I honestly wonder how anyone could call this a weak record on Mercyful Fate's part. The lyrics, the music itself, King's vocals, and King's lineup, are all nothing short of phenomenal on this record. So much so, that not only is "Dead Again" arguably their best record, but it sounds like it was meant to be revenge on alternative, rapp, grunge, and sell outs. Don't be swayed by the negative revews. You will miss out on this record of intense musical terror!
I haven't heard them all, but this one isn't very good. The recording quality is great, the skill of the guitars and drums is pretty good, and King sings like (his) normal, but after listening to this several times I still can't remember any of the tunes. That compares to In the Shadows, Time, or Spiders Lullabye where I can hum several tunes in my sleep. Like one of the other reviews said, its kind of boring and doesn't really grab your attention. Some will like it if they are really into the style, but there are better albums.
I absolutely love "Dead Again, and "In The Shadows". I have to be completely honest here, these two releases are some of Mercyful Fates strongest ever….
Don't let the bad reviews on here decide for you. I'm not sure what those other fans were listening to, but I've been a big fan of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate since the "Fatal Portrait", and "Don't Break The Oath" days….
This is pure brilliance as far as I'm concerned. The hooks are awesome, and the guitaring is some of the best, most creepy sounding I've ever heard. H. Sherman and M. Denner together is pure magic, and the songs are crafted very well. The production is excellent as usual…
I think these two releases are the best Mercyful Fate has released since "Mellissa". There is just something about these that keep me coming back for more. It's a very well rounded, and musically incredible CD….
I highly recommend picking both of them up….
Forget about "9″ or "Time". "Dead Again" and "Shadows" rule!!!
Fairly decent 1998 CD release from the Dutch black metal merchants. Still somewhat amazed they even ever reunited awhile back as they have. Better cuts found here are the somewhat humorous "The Lady Who Cries", "Banshee", the heavy-duty "Sucking Your Blood" and the 14-minute title track "Dead Again". Some have said that every member except for Diamond puts in a full-hearted effort in the making of this record. See what you think.Line-up: King Diamond-vocals,Hank Sherman&Mike Weed-guitars,Sharlee D'Angelo-bass and Bjarne T.Holm-drums. Maybe not a classic,but certainly no sleeper either.

One of two things happen when I go to a restaurant. I either walk away inspired, enlightened, mobilized and ready to create or I am disappointed, frustrated, and motivated to give a makeover. This past weekend a group of friends and I stumbled upon a BBQ house in downtown Philly. Before completely insulting this joint's claim to be a provider of a true American staple, I will give them one plus up on the score card for the following: they had the best selection of canned craft beers I have ever seen. Although the brisket was too fatty, the pulled pork average, and the portion size a disgrace, the real disappointment of said BBQ house was the cornbread. If I order a simple appetizer of this crumbly starch, I expect the chef to concoct a pan beyond modest proportions with crispy and buttery edges whilst maintaining the moist and slightly flaky center. Is that too much to ask? Having lived in Texas for a year, my chances of appreciating most imitations of this southern culinary expression went out the window years ago. The pathetic display that arrived at the table could not be described any other way than so firmly said in The Princess Bride by Vizzini, "Inconceivable!" OK so maybe I'm being a bit dramatic but nonetheless, this event did inspire me to recreate a skillet of cornbread as I did so tonight. I'd highly recommend pairing the bread with this recipe I created about a year ago. Eat Well With Wine Chili Recipe
Skillet Jalapeno Cornbread
- 1 box of jiffy cornbread mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 can creamed corn
- 1 jalapeno chopped finely
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- optional: a few tablespoons of honey or sugar to sweeten
- 3 tbsp butter to coat pan and butter top

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — ANDERSON — Just move.
That's what Dr. Emi Bays wants children to do.
Bays, a pediatrician with St. Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital, is encouraging her patients to join the "Choose to Lose for Kids and Families." The program, being offered by St.Vincent and partnered through the YMCA, teaches participants how to live a healthy lifestyle with weight management. The new program is tailored to the needs of children and teens, ages 8 to 18, costs $50 and kicks off on Oct. 1.
"I'm very excited about it," Bays said of the program. "I really think it could be a great tool for motivating kids and for families to use."
Community Hospital Anderson also offers a healthy lifestyle program for children 8 to 13 years and their caregivers called "Ways to Enhance Children's Activity & Nutrition (We Can)" which, like Choose to Lose, focuses on being healthy and staying active.
We Can is free and offered twice a year with the next class starting Oct. 15, said Jenny Martin, nutrition coordinator at Community Hospital Anderson. Community's program is a six-week class that is offered once a week on Tuesday nights.
"Obesity statistics are high and obesity is not going away," said Martin.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents just within the last 30 years. Statistics also show that children between the ages of 6 and 19 years who were obese has increased from between 5 and 7 percent in 1980 to nearly 18 percent in 2010.
Bays said she sees children in her clinic every day who have struggled with bad habits that tend to snowball. She said in order to be healthy, people should strive to combine being active with a balanced diet.
"I don't think the problem is necessarily from not doing one or the other," she said.
Bays suggests being active for an hour a day by doing chores, taking a walk and even playing the Wii — all of which are better than sitting around and doing nothing.
"You have to take things gradually and work it up in levels," she said. "I think one of the big things in terms of nutrition is portion sizes. A lot of times we do not realize what a portion size is."
Some of Bays' daily recommendations include limiting screen time, which she defines as television, computers and handheld devices, to less than two hours a day, consuming no more than 8 ounces of juice and eliminating sugary drinks and consuming only low-fat dairy products.
"It's a lot for families to think about and why it is so overwhelming," she said.
Both of the programs offer activities and nutritional information to the participants to help them make healthy choices.
Martin said to be healthy both children and caregivers must be involved. She said some of the activities of the program include learning how to exercise with little to no equipment and hip hop classes that are taught by local pediatricians. She said participants learn how to get creative and make being healthy fun by including such activities as creating obstacle courses using household items like brooms and jump ropes.
"If you teach just the child, that does not solve the problem," Martin said. "We can't educate just the child. We have to have the caregivers' involvement to solve the problem of child obesity."

The UMass Minutemen took center stage at the Mullins Center for the first half and had their moments of looking like a marquee act. When all was said in done for the first half the Minutemen led, 38-26, and headed to the locker room with four players scoring at least six points.
Derrick Gordon, in his first action for the Minutemen, was impressive on both ends of the court. He flew around making plays, finishing at the rim several times on the way to a team-high nine points. He was active, grabbing an offensive rebound and dishing out two assists in addition to his scoring. Playing alongside Chaz Williams and Trey Davis had positive returns for Derek Kellogg and will likely be a major lineup for the Minutemen in 2013-14.
Sampson Carter had his moments as well, playing good aggressive basketball on his way to eight points and a trip to the free-throw line. Cady Lalanne is just plain strong and used that to his advantage, scoring nearly at will on the inside. Maxie Esho had two highlight dunks, however, and his alley-oop from Gordon was the prettiest thing that happened in the first half.
The lowlight of the half, on the other hand, was Raphiael Putney picking up three fouls and spent most of the period on the bench. Not a good look in his first look of the season.
The freshmen made one appearance in the person of Demetrius Dyson, but it lasted just one minute.
On the whole, not a bad half. Things clearly need to get better moving forward, but for a final tune-up a 12-point lead at the half is par for the course.

Ph.D. New School for Social Research
David's work focuses on the philosophy of life. He is the author of To Imagine a Form of Life, a series of books that looks for ways in which the notion of life intersects with other fundamental concepts in diverse fields.
The first volume, Wittgenstein's Form of Life (Continuum, 2008), deals with the relationship between language and life throughout Ludwig Wittgenstein's thought. The second, The Power of Life: Agamben and the Coming Politics (Stanford University Press, 2011), revolves around the connections between life and politics in the writings of Giorgio Agamben. The third, unfinished installment is an imaginary sequel to Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project. Dedicated to New York, capital of the twentieth century, it traces the bond between the modern city and modern life.
David is also the co-translator of Agamben's What Is an Apparatus? (Stanford UP, 2009) and Nudities (Stanford UP, 2010). Before joining Emerson College he was a fellow at the Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry.

Café des Amis
140 E. Bridge St., Breaux Bridge
(337) 332-5273
THREE STARS (out of four)
We continue our road trip survey of restaurants that's as well known for its festive atmosphere as for its food: Café des Amis.
This restaurant is in the middle of historic downtown Breaux Bridge and on the right day it can feel like the very heart of town. That would be on Saturday during the Zydeco Breakfast. It's been an institution for Café des Amis for years, and today it's as fun as ever. A zydeco band sets up in the front window bar and jams as guests push aside their brunch plates and dance between the tables. The place is packed on Saturdays, and scoring a table usually requires a bit of a wait. Here's some scoop to avoid the crowds: the restaurant also hosts music on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights, when the scene is much more mellow. However, part of the fun of Saturdays here is joining the swirling crowd for a morning time party. Throughout the week, you'll find a charismatic country restaurant with a big, antique bar, bare wood floors and the signatures of hundreds of past patrons scrawled (or sometimes doodled) on the white walls.
Traditional Cajun flavor is the main ingredient here, though the kitchen adds enough of its own stamp to make it stand out. Wedges of cornbread with crawfish tails baked in and crawfish etouffee over the top, the alligator sausage and crawfish cheesecake and the crab-stuffed mushrooms are all go-to starters for lunch and dinner, while at breakfast and brunch try the "orielle de cochon," which are oversized beignets stuffed with boudin.
The stars of the morning menu mix eggs, boudin, tasso and etouffee in one form or another, like the "big hat" omelet or the eggs des amis. Brunch adds some of the more ambitious dishes from the dinner menu. Some favorites are the oven roasted duck, which is glazed with pepper jelly syrup and served with dirty rice, and the tuna Rockefeller, a thick-cut plank of fish, grilled to a ruby-red rare inside, on a bed of creamed spinach (the Rockefeller part) and topped with etouffee (the Cajun part). The menu can get a little repetitive, drawing so much on the same core ingredients and sauces, but provided you don't eat like this all the time the big flavors are enough to keep the meal entertaining.
Bread pudding and chocolate pecan pie are the usual suspects on the dessert list, though the one to try is the gateau sirop, which is a traditional Cajun cane syrup cake, all dark and moist and dressed up with roasted pecans and ice cream.
There's a full bar with a specialty in bloody Marys and mimosas for the morning crowd.
Café des Amis is moderate during daytime meals, with most main courses in the $10 to $15 range, while at dinner the entrees range up to the low-$20s.
Café des Amis is a spirited, highly charismatic restaurant, worth a meal anytime you're in Breaux Bridge, a special detour for a day when music is part of the program and a road trip destination of its own to experience the Zydeco Breakfast at least once in your Louisiana experience.

Hey guys,
I am looking for a little help from the Razorback community here. Dennis Johnson unleashed two of the beastliest plays from the past week:
1) The kickoff return where he dragged about 8 gators for about 15 yards, and then the kicker ran full speed and bounced harmlessly off him before Johnson fell forward with the whole pile.
2) That sweet left where Dennis Johnson broke something like 5 full tackles and ended up making a big gain out of the play.
I have been looking for videos online replaying these plays with no success. Does anyone have any idea where I can find these vids? Thanks!

In 1972, I had the opportunity, in my dual role as director of the Idaho State Historical Museum and its architectural historian, of visiting Shoshone many times to study its buildings and to get acquainted with its people.
The result of my study was the creation of a historic district in the central part of town that was recognized by the National Park Service for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 1975. There are 37 buildings in the district, including 13 described as worthy of note.
Heading the list is the Lincoln County Courthouse. The Shoshone Journal pointed out the urgent need for a courthouse on December 19, 1902, noting that Lincoln County had been created in March 1895 but had never had a proper place to perform its functions. On May 23, 1903, the paper announced that the contract to build the courthouse had been let to O.J. Brennan for $17,100. The dedication of what was now the pride of Shoshone took place in conjunction with the 1904 Fourth of July celebration.
Other buildings on the list include the Methodist Church of 1905, the Masonic Hall and the Episcopal Church, both of 1902. Bishop Funsten came down from Boise to consecrate Christ Episcopal church on Sunday, November 16, 1902. The Fred Gooding house of 1901 was designed by noted Boise architect W.S. Campbell, a native of Scotland. (The most notable of his buildings still standing is the Idanha Hotel in Boise.) Ed Gooding built a bungalow in 1912, and at about that time Frank R. Gooding, most famous of the English-born Gooding brothers, also built a house in Shoshone in the popular Colonial style of the time. Frank R. Gooding served in the Idaho legislature from 1898 until 1904, was governor of Idaho from 1905 until 1908, and was a United States Senator from 1921 until 1928. The city and county of Gooding are named for him.
Another building on the worthy of note list was heralded in 1909 when the Shoshone Journal reported: The Catholics of Shoshone are working up their plans for the building of a fine church that will cost from $15,000 to $20,000. As the stone is on the ground it is likely they will build in that material, although they would prefer brick. These worthy people have worked long and earnestly for the accomplishment of this purpose, and now that they have come so near to the actual building they are to be encouraged and congratulated.
As a railroad junction point, Shoshone needed lodging places for travelers, the most prominent of which was the McFall Hotel. On September 19, 1900, the Idaho Statesman described it in glowing terms as a modern hostelry in every respect with elegant rooms and splendid kitchen and dining room service, but when I first visited it in 1972 it had been enlarged several times over the years into what I described as a labyrinth. A new owner planned to restore it to its 1912 state.
Nearly all of Shoshones early buildings were built of the black basaltic stone that was the most notable feature of the landscape for many square miles around the town. In 1904, Ignacio Berriochoa, a Basque immigrant from northern Spain, arrived in Idaho. After moving to Shoshone in 1910, he was soon recognized as one of the most skilled stonemasons in Lincoln County. In 1983, a thematic group titled Lava Rock Structures in South Central Idaho was placed in the National Register of Historic Places. Most of these structures were the work of Berriochoa.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State baseball team is in dire need of something good happening.
The struggles continued for the Cardinals on Saturday when SUNY Athletic Conference power Cortland swept a pair of 7-0 contests at Chip Cummings Field.
The Red Dragons, who are ranked second in the country in Division III, improved to 16-4 overall and 5-0 in the conference. The Cardinals, meanwhile, fell to 3-11 overall and 1-4 in the SUNYAC.
"It's hard to be a pitcher on our staff right now because our pitchers need to be perfect," Plattsburgh coach Kris Doorey said. "We gave Cortland some base runners and they took advantage. They were able to manufacture runs.
"Offensively, we're at a loss. We're not getting any great at-bats at the start of an inning. We get our hits with two outs."
In the first game, Mike Hughes blanked the Cardinals on three hits over eight innings to get the pitching win. Kyle Kelly started and took the loss.
Kelly surrendered seven hits, walked three, hit three batters and struck out two while allowing four earned runs in 5.2 innings.
Max Rosing led the Red Dragons' 13-hit offense with three hits, while Zack Graczyk, P.J. Rinaldi, Chris Jackson and Tim Panetta added two each. Graczyk and Jackson both drove in three runs.
Mike Mulvihill doubled for Plattsburgh, while Luke Weaver, Brian Latulipe and John Casten each singled.
Plattsburgh starter Brian Burns worked out of early trouble in the second game before Cortland pushed across a run in the fourth and added five more in the fifth following a dropped fly ball in right field after two were out.
"I don't think we played terrible baseball in either game," Doorey said. "We didn't play well defensively in the second game and Cortland took advantage to score five runs in the fifth."

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Sean Matti may not have been well-known for his exploits on the football field as a Boilermaker, but you should see how highly his teammates are speaking of him. SB Nation's Hammer and Rails has collected some heartfelt remembrances from Purdue teammates, and reflects that, even in Division I football, sometimes heart is all you need:
Take a look at those few tweets from his teammates. From a unanimous All-American down to the backup (now starting) walk-on long snapper Matti was respected by his teammates. There is no doubt in my mind he was going to be an essential leader this year as a fifth year senior even though few would know his name and he would only get polite applause on November 19th against Iowa on Senior Day. It is my hope that we still honor him on senior Day and there will be more than a few #22 jerseys in the stands.

This week at the Capitol the major focus was on a federal tax conformity bill which was heard in the Senate Tax Committee along with receiving final passage on the Senate Floor. This legislation aims to align Minnesota tax policy with that of the federal government.
Updating the state's tax laws to the federal tax code is an important issue as Minnesota families across the state began filing their income tax returns. Timely resolution of tax conformity helps prevent the need for taxpayers to file amended returns. The tax conformity bill provided nearly $20 million in tax relief, and extended many provisions important to Minnesotans.
Significant provisions in the bill included an extension of the educator classroom expense deduction of up to $250, and an extension of the higher education tuition expense deduction. This relief would cover tax year 2012, the year that Minnesotans are now reporting on their income tax returns.
With final passage by the Senate on Thursday, this important legislation now heads to conference committee where differences between the House and Senate versions will be worked out. Once this occurs, both legislative bodies will re-pass the final agreement and it will be sent to the governor for his signature.
Also this week, I was proud to present S.F. 76 before the Senate Transportation Committee. This bill would rename a portion of Highway 23 after fallen Officer Tom Decker. The bill received unanimous support from members of the committee and was referred to the Senate Floor where it awaits final passage later this session.
A companion bill to S.F. 76 was passed last week in the House Transportation Committee. This bill, authored by Rep. Jeff Howe, awaits further action in that body.
Other Happenings:
Both the House and Senate passed an expansion of the Medical Assistance Program. This legislation expands eligibility up to 133 percent of Federal Poverty Guidelines for parents, children ages 19 and 20, and single adults without children. Discussions continued in the Senate Higher Education Committee around funding for Minnesota's two public higher education systems. This week, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system laid out their budget request for the committee. Some highlights of the request include:
• Money for a leveraged equipment fund to invest in up-to-date and new equipment in programs where there is high employment demand.
• Funding for a state-wide internship program that would connect students to job opportunities in communities where they go to school.
• Modifications to the State Grant Program formula to ensure students who attend school part time receive necessary financial assistance through the program. The Senate Education Committee held several hearings on state-wide testing for both students and teachers in the state. Discussions on issues related to testing and teacher licensure will continue throughout the session.

text: The Redskins have been collecting D-linemen since the end of last season — and with good reason. They finished ranked 26th against the run, 29th in sack percentage and 31st in pass defense with a group up front that had gotten old and a bit stale. They drafted Jarvis Jenkins and Chris Neild in April to help and then made some big moves in free agency, adding Stephen Bowen and Barry Cofield. But where will they all end up playing? Mike Shanahan said Cofield will man the nose most of the time and also spend time at end. Bowen too has some flexibility, as he can shift from the five-technique DRE spot in the 3-4 fronts and kick inside to tackle when the Redskins use four-man lines in passing situations. Jenkins is primarily a 3-4 end; Neild, if he makes the team, is strictly a nose. There is some leftover help, too, with DLE Adam Carriker holding onto his starting spot for now.

A new state-of-the-art fire station is being planned for Valdosta Regional Airport in south Georgia. Airport officials say the $3 million project is needed to keep the airport competitive. It's one of nine commercial service airports in the state, with three flights per day to Atlanta. Jim Galloway, the airport's executive director, says the fire station will enhance public safety. Officials say most of the funding comes from the Federal Aviation Administration, with additional money from the state and fees paid by the airport's commercial users. Construction is set to begin in two weeks and be completed in little over a year. The airport was built before World War II as an auxiliary landing area to Moody Field. After the war, the federal government transferred the airport to the city.

Demond McCoy has seen the constant turnover at the top of the Russell County High football program, and he plans to change that trend.
"I don't have any plans on leaving," said McCoy, who was approved by the Russell County Board of Education last month.
"I know we had a had rate of turnover among our coaches," said McCoy, a 1993 graduate of Russell County. "I am invested in Russell County. I want to give back to the school what it gave to me."
McCoy, who has been as assistant coach for the Warriors for the past seven seasons, replaces Tripp Henderson, who left last year with a 5-15 record in two seasons.
The school's principal, Vantreise Davis, said there were a number of reasons McCoy was the right person to lead the Warriors.
"He has a football background, he played at Alabama A&M, he did a wonderful job with the girls basketball program, and he is a product of Russell County High," Davis said.
After Henderson's departure, McCoy, who is also the girls basketball coach, was named the school's interim football coach.
"We had to keep things going, have some kind of structure," McCoy said.
Before returning to Russell County, McCoy spent two seasons as an assistant at Valley. He started his high school coaching career at Lannett, where he stayed three years before leaving for Valley.
McCoy said he has always wanted to be a head coach.
"I have always had a passion, love for the game," he said. "I have always felt that if I was given the opportunity, I could do it. I have worked under a lot of good coaches -- Tim Carter, Woodrow Lowe, Dwight Jones Mitch Hamilton -- and this is my chance to give back.
I want to take what I learned from them and use it here."
McCoy played at Russell County from 1990-93 under Jones. He was a fullback his first three seasons. He also played defensive back his senior season. The 1991 season was the Warriors' first ever trip to the state playoffs.
McCoy faces a difficult task as Russell County has had only 10 winning seasons in its 67 years, the last one coming in 1998.
"I don't see why not," McCoy said when asked if the program was capable of winning on a regular basis. But it is not going to happen overnight."
The Warriors open the season at Central-Phenix City on Aug. 31.
Note: The athletic director's position at Russell County remains open. Matt Hendricks, the school's softball coach who was named the interim athletic director after Henderson left, told the Ledger-Enquirer he had resigned from Russell County to become the assistant softball coach at Central-Phenix City. McCoy says he applied for the athletic director's position. The girls soccer program has been discontinued at Russell County. Girls who wish to play will be able to join the boys team.

Independence Bill provides "appropriate foundation for referendum"
As set out in the Bill, the vote will take place on September 18th 2014.
People will be asked to answer 'yes' or 'no' to the question "Should Scotland be an independent country?"
– Bruce Crawford, Convener
"While the committee identified some issues that require clarification or amendment ... the whole committee was able to agree that the Bill provides an appropriate foundation for next year's referendum.
Indeed, the Electoral Commission told us it was 'a strong piece of legislation' able to deliver a referendum 'that truly puts the voter first'."
The Bill also sets out spending limits for the two main campaign groups, Yes Scotland and Better Together, and the rules surrounding the referendum's purdah period which prevents government from announcing any new legislation.
MSPs have already agreed to extend the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds.

Mortuary fridge containing bodies of five babies at St Helier Hospital stopped working
2:20pm Friday 17th August 2012 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
A mortuary fridge containing the bodies of five infants broke down at St Helier Hospital.
An inquiry has been launched after the fridge stopped working last Friday (August 10) and was switched off for 36 hours.
It is thought that the malfunction may affect the ability to establish causes of death and an investigation has been launched into how the fault occurred.
The fridge contained the bodies of two infants and three foetuses. The families have all been informed.
Dr Martin Stockwell, Joint Medical Director at St Helier Hospital, said: "With much regret, we can confirm that a technical failure in the mortuary department at St Helier Hospital resulted in one of six refrigeration units breaking down for approximately 36 hours.
"We are deeply sorry that this incident occurred, and we are working hard to understand how and why it happened. The Trust is taking this matter very seriously, and we are reviewing our processes as a matter of urgency.
"We have launched a thorough investigation into the matter, and are working closely with the Human Tissue Authority, to prevent it happening again."
The Human Tissue Authority is the national authority responsible for regulating mortuary activities.
Dr Alan Clamp, Chief Executive of the Human Tissue Authority said: "Our thoughts are with the families, for whom this incident will have caused significant distress at a very sad and difficult time as they try to come to terms with their loss.
"All mortuaries licensed by the HTA must comply with our standards which include requirements relating to premises, facilities and equipment.
"As part of our inspection process we assess the condition of body storage facilities and the systems in place to identify and deal with equipment failures promptly, including temperature monitoring, maintenance arrangements and alarms.
"Where we find that systems are inadequate, we consider the risk posed by the shortfall and ensure that action is taken to address it. We do this to minimise the risk to the bodies of deceased people whilst in the mortuary.
"We are taking the failure at St Helier Hospital very seriously and are working with senior staff there to establish the full facts so that appropriate action is taken. We inspected the hospital against our standards this week including those relating to the facilities and will be ensuring that the hospital's own internal investigation is thorough.
"Our aim was to understand what went wrong and share the lessons learned with other mortuaries to reduce the risk of another incident. We are satisfied that suitable steps have been taken in relation to this particular case, and that the procedural improvements made will help prevent something similar happening again in the future.'
Peter Walsh from the charity Action against Medical Accidents said: "This incident will add to the distress of parents and should not have happened.
"There should be failsafe procedures in place to prevent it. It could also cause problems with post mortems establishing the cause of death, which is vitally important."

5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Regular Board Meeting
Greetings from the Lamar faculty and staff. We are pleased to invite you to Lamar's 2014 – 2015 Fall Open House on Tuesday, September 9, starting with a reception and a brief PTO general meeting in the cafeteria at 5:30 p.m. Parents are welcome to attend the general meeting to get an update on the PTO information for the school year.

Lamar High School met standards for the 2013-2014 school year by earning the highest possible rating of Distinction in all eligible indices—Student Achievement, Closing the Performance Gap, and Postsecondary Readiness—according to the Texas Education Agency's Accountability Rating System. Student performance on the five tested core areas of Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History was used to determine the rating. The Distinction rating is awarded to schools that perform in the top 25% of all comprehensive high schools in the State of Texas. See article for graphics.
Prestige Photography will be on campus in the Library on the following dates for seniors only: September 25 & 26 (8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.) October 23 & 24 ( 8:30 a.m.- 3:30 p.m.) Underclassmen pictures (Lifetouch) will be taken in the library. Dates: 9/15, 9/16, 9/17, 9/18 Make up day: 11/4

He considers two-dimensional interaction just the beginning."You can stack layers [of ZeroTouch] together to get depth sensing," he said. The system could then sense objects in a 3D space, as well as allow users to hover over objects. Typically, hovering isn't available with touch systems because a finger would occlude what it's hovering over, he said.
3D interaction
If ZeroTouch becomes the new technology to create 3D objects, the Snowglobe project could provide a way to view and interact with them.
Snowglobe is a large acrylic ball that has an image projected on its inner walls from a hole in the bottom. Two Microsoft Kinect sensors are pointed at users, and when they approach and move around the ball, the object on the inside follows them. When users stretch out their hands, their gestures can control the orientation and size of the object inside the globe. The image is cast by a 3D projector so wearing 3D glasses adds another dimension to the experience.
John Bolton, with the Human Media Lab at Queens University, came up with the idea, on show at CHI 2011, and had been working on it for two years. "If we nest an object inside, we can present all 360 degrees of that object if somebody walks around the display," he explained. "So opposed to just sitting there with a mouse you can walk around and you're presented with the correct view as your position changes." As is true for many of the projects at CHI, there are no immediate plans for commercialization.
Japanese mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo has shown a project that let users control a music player by moving their eyes, first at the Ceatec 2009 conference near Tokyo and the next year at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The prototype includes earbuds that measure the changes in electrical state when a user's eye moves. Those impulses can then be translated into actions like skipping to the next track or turning up the volume. Although it was a crowd-pleaser, NTT DoCoMo says it has no plans to comemrcialize the technology.
Germany's Hasso Plattner Institute took a different approach to gesture interaction. Led by Patrick Baudisch, the Berlin-based group has developed what it calls imaginary interfaces that allow users to interact with mobile devices when they're not in front of them. Imagine hearing your phone ring in your pocket, but instead of taking it out, you hold up your palm and swipe your finger across it to ignore the call.
The prototype system won't be portable anytime soon. It uses depth-sensing cameras mounted above the users, or sometimes on the users' shoulder, to locate where their fingers are and what they're touching.
Baudisch credited Apple with replacing styli with touchscreens, but he and his team wanted to take it one step further. "Why don't we leave this [stylus] out and retrieve no devices at all for these tiny interactions such as turning off an alarm or picking up a phone call or sending to voicebox?" he suggested during CHI 2011. "People will interact directly on the palm of their hand." The system could work because users can remember about 70 percent to 80 percent of their 20 home screen icons and where they're located, he said.
Just as there is an acclimation period when switching from a mobile device with a keyboard to one with only a touchscreen, Baudisch imagined that there would be a similar adjustment to using a device users can't see.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson and longtime baseball executive Stan Kasten were part of a group that agreed to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers from Frank McCourt for a record $2 billion.
The price would shatter the mark for a sports franchise, Stephen Ross paid $1.1 billion for the NFL's Miami Dolphins in 2009, and in England In Malcolm Glazer and his family took over the Manchester United soccer club in 2005 in a deal then valued at $1.47 billion.
Mark Walter, chief executive officer of the financial services firm Guggenheim Partners, would become the controlling owner. Kasten likely would be the team's top day-to-day executive.
The deal, revealed about five hours after Major League Baseball owners approved three finalists for an intended auction, is one of several steps toward a sale of the team by the end of April. It is subject to approval in federal bankruptcy court.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) -- New York Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey opens up in a revealing new biography, "Wherever I May Wind Up: My Quest for Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball," about being sexually abused by a female baby sitter multiple times when he was 8 years old, and also by a 17-year-old male on another occasion.
He talks about contemplating suicide six years ago, and finding a syringe in a clubhouse bathroom when he was the Texas Rangers in 2001.
The book written with New York Daily News reporter Wayne Coffey is scheduled to be released this week and an excerpt is included in this week's Sports Illustrated.
PHOENIX (AP) -- Catcher Jonathan Lucroy and the Milwaukee Brewers agreed to a five-year contract worth about $11 million. The deal would increase to $13 million if he is eligible for salary arbitration after this season.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Nyjer Morgan is putting his offbeat sense of humor to work, encouraging fans to adopt pets from animal shelters in a new promotional campaign for PETA.
Morgan and Slick Willie, a playful gray cat he adopted from a shelter last year, posed for photographs and recorded a video on behalf of the animal rights advocacy group.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- New York Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain expects to recover from his trampoline injury and pitch in the majors this season.
The accident last week left him with a dislocated right ankle. He is on crutches and will be in a cast for six weeks.
Chamberlain feels he let the team down, but isn't second-guessing himself for playing with his 5-year-old son at a Tampa-area recreation spot.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The New York Yankees released Preston Mattingly, who had agreed to a minor league contract in January.
The 24-year-old son of former Yankees star and current Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly had been playing for Double-A Trenton in spring training games.
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Sean Payton spoke publicly for first time since the Saints were sanctioned for targeting specific opponents, saying he will soon decide whether to appeal his suspension.
He also said he is checking to see if mentor Bill Parcells would run the team while he serves his penalty for allowing a Saints assistant coach and players to operate a crunch-for-cash bounty program.
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- NFL owners ratified the agreement between the league and players' union that takes away $36 million in salary cap space from the Redskins and $10 million from the Cowboys.
Other than Dallas and Washington, no clubs voted to oppose the agreement, which raised the salary cap for 2012 from about $113 million to $120.6 million. The Cowboys and Redskins have sought arbitration, which will be conducted by University of Pennsylvania professor Stephen Burbank.
The Cowboys will play in the season opener on Sept. 5 at the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. That game will be on a Wednesday night for the first time; President Barack Obama is scheduled to address the Democratic National Convention on Sept. 6.
In other news at the meetings, the NFL players' union voted to repeal a rule that prohibited certified agents from having contact with college players until the student-athletes have been out of high school for three years.
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Jets coach Rex Ryan says the team did not consult with starting quarterback Mark Sanchez before acquiring Tim Tebow.
Ryan didn't think that was unusual, telling reporters at the owners meetings that "Mark's job is to play quarterback, not be the general manager."
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson tore a tendon in his left foot and ankle and will likely miss the remainder of the season.
Baylor center Brittney Griner was a unanimous pick for The Associated Press' women's All-America team, earning the honor for the second straight season.
The 6-foot-8 Griner has been dominant all season, leading Baylor to an unbeaten season. She's averaging 23.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 5.2 blocks.
Nnemkadi Ogwumike of Stanford, Elena Delle Donne of Delaware, Skylar Diggins of Notre Dame and Alyssa Thomas of Maryland rounded out the team.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Memphis has extended the contract of basketball coach Josh Pastner by one year, carrying him through the 2017 season.
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) -- Serena Williams' bid for a record sixth Key Biscayne title ended when she lost in the quarterfinals of the Sony Ericsson Open to former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki, 6-4, 6-4.
The buzz Andy Roddick got from beating Roger Federer turned into a hangover when Juan Monaco became a real headache. Less than 24 hours after his upset win over Federer, Roddick endured a drubbing against Monaco 7-5, 6-0.
No. 2-seeded Maria Sharapova became the first semifinalist when she routed reigning French Open champion Li Na 6-3, 6-0. Sharapova had lost their previous four meetings. The Russian plays Wozniacki on Thursday.
