Intro Printmaking: Image Construction I: Line + Sequence
Course No. PRI 200 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Maggie Denk-Leigh
Printmaking grows out of an experimental approach to image construction closely aligned to both the kinetic practice of drawing and the mechanical possibilities inherent in the crafting of a matrix for reproduction. Students participating in this course will interrogate what defines a "print," using line and sequence as the visual language allowing introspection and clarification of ideological concepts. Course exploration includes intaglio and relief processes, an introduction to the history of the field, printing of a matrix supporting discoveries of the limited edition and narrative aspects of multiple impressions. The body of work students produce in this course will be informed by the history of printmaking, the critical dialogue surrounding contemporary art and print media in particular, and should reveal students' development of skill and sensitivity to the printed impression quality visually articulating the individual's aesthetic voice. Note: Open to all students as an introductory level course. Encouraged for Second and Third year students with a drawing emphasis as an Elective Studio. Required for Second Year Print Majors. Offered fall.

A Vermont fugitive allegedly opened fire on a state trooper on a North Carolina highway Monday night.
"Last night was a very scary night when you get an officer down call," Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said.
Police say when veteran Trooper Michael Potts stopped a driver for failing to buckle up, the man allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Potts four times-- in the face, hands and shoulders. Miraculously, the trooper survived and was able to radio in a description of the suspect, Mikel Brady, 23, of Vermont.
"For someone to so egregiously and recklessly be willing to take someone's life is outrageous and it shocks the conscious," said Kieran Shanahan, secretary of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.
Police say the hail of gunfire was caught on cruiser cam. The trooper remains in stable but fair condition. Brady is now being charged with assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill. Vermont corrections officials say he's been on the run for four months and it's not his first escape. Law enforcement was not able to locate him until now.
"There was nothing in his past that would lead you to believe he was going to be pulled over on the side of the road and randomly shoot a cop four times. That's completely random given that he has some burglary charges and he was caught shooting a deer decoy," said Andy Pallito, the Vermont Corrections Commissioner.
Brady's criminal record dates back to 2007 and includes multiple convictions for burglary and grand larceny. He was released from prison last June after serving a three-year jail sentence for a combination of crimes, including stealing dynamite and assaulting a resident with a bat during a home invasion. Corrections says since Brady served his minimum sentence and met furlough requirements, he had to be released.
"If there were reservations we wouldn't have released him," Pallito said.
Pallito says the parole system is designed to give convicts an opportunity to prove themselves, improve their lives and move forward. He says Brady's case is the exception.
"Of the thousands of people that we let out on furlough every year, incidents are relatively low. This one was a particularly bad incident," Pallito said.
The Corrections commissioner says he's confident his department followed protocol, but says Brady's case will be reviewed. Right now in Vermont there are 38 individuals wanted for escape out of 9,000 on supervision.
Brady will be arraigned and tried in North Carolina. If convicted, he'll serve out his sentence there, and then he'll be returned to Vermont. This alleged violation means Brady will have to serve out his max sentence here in Vermont.
Trooper Potts is in the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds.

The underlying tragedy here is that he needed money for his mother's medical care.
Why is it that medical care in the US so often leads to poverty and bankruptcy? We are a sick society in so many non physical ways.
on Sep 9, 2012 at 6:18 pm
Why is is that criminals feel entitled to commit their crimes based on their family needs? It's because they lack a moral compass. "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time." He took a risk & lost. Game over. How does any of this help his mom?

For many people, it's been two weeks too long since the government shutdown put hundreds of thousands of workers all across the country out of commission.
Workers at the Desert Princess, a popular Lake Mead cruise, are ready to start making money again, but they likely won't get back pay for the lost time.
Shelli Noyes has been working on the Desert Princess for five years, and never would she have imagined something like this would put her and the crew out of work.
"It's been huge because overnight, you lost the income. I thought it would just be maybe a day or two. I had no idea I'd be going on this long," said Shelli Noyes, a server on the Desert Princess.
Since the Desert Princess cruise has been closed, 30 people have been laid off. Management said it was a big money loss because they see 100 to 200 customers a day.
"They just said that we might not be working. It was all up in the air and in the hands of the government," Noyes said. While there's talk of some 800,000 federal workers nationwide getting back pay for the lost time, the crew won't see that benefit because they are contracted out through a private company, and the government can't pay them back. "Some people have had to go out and look for other employment, whether it's temporary or permanent," Noyes said. Noyes said customers from all over the world go on the Desert Princess tour. She personally feels bad that plans changed. "There's many, many hundreds of reservations that people book in advance, and it's a big part of their trip to Las Vegas to go out to Lake Mead to go out the Desert Princess. They love the history of Hoover Dam."
Meantime, Congress has reached a deal until Jan. 15, 2014. At this time lawmakers will have to agree on a new deal.
If another shutdown were to happen again in January, Lake Mead Cruise management says there isn't a lot they can do other than lay people off temporarily and then hire them back.
In the meantime, Lake Mead Cruises are working on refunds to all customers who purchased a ticket during the shutdown at this time.

adj. Describes the process whereby a university professor or graduate student takes his or her research and parlays it into a successful company.
Example Citation:
"An academic whose expertise is in parallel algorithms and applied mathematics, Leighton is at first glance an unlikely candidate for an Internet tweeds-to-riches success story."
David Rotman, "Akamai's Algorithms," Technology Review, September, 2000
David Rotman, "Akamai's Algorithms," Technology Review, September, 2000
Today's phrase is almost certainly a neologism coined by Mr. Rotman. I don't normally post neologisms, but with so many professors and other academic types creating successful businesses from their research, it filled a hole in the language too neatly to ignore it.
Robes-to-riches is closer to rags-to-riches alliteratively, but "robes" is only a so-so reference to an academic, so I prefer tweeds-to-riches.
Another contender for this niche is robes-to-riches:

INDIANAPOLIS — The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., has once again alarmed parents and school officials across the nation.
On Dec. 14, suspect Adam Lanza, 20, entered the Sandy Hook Elementary School where he shot and killed 20 students and six educators.
Following the tragic incident, administrators with the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township were among those across the country spurred to action.
"We sent out a message on Friday letting people know what we're already doing as far as security," said Mary Lang, chief communications officer for the district. "We're also continuing to communicate with our students to let an adult know when they see anything of concern. We, like every other district, are once again looking at the way we do things to see if we should be doing something differently."
Lang said the district received REMS grant funds to help implement better security.
"REMS stands for Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools," she said. "These grants helped us to formulate and easily disseminate information to the staff in a situation."
The district also employees six people whose responsibility is security for the corporation.
"We also utilize off duty police officers from Speedway, IMPD, and the sheriff's department for events when we feel we need extra security," Lang said. "And we have a plan in place for what to do.
"We have drills with the administration, staff, and kids. We hold intruder drills, much like you do a tornado drill."
She said the tone of district employees and students is one of disbelief. On Monday, three days after the shooting, the staff and students returned to class.
"We didn't send anything formal out to teachers, but I'm sure they are ready to answer questions," Lang said. "There's a lot of processing going on for our students.
"For me, as a parent and one who works in a school district, there are no words to describe how it's made me feel. We've shared as much regarding the shooting personally as we have professionally."
The Newtown Public Schools website has announced that the district is closed. Those who would like to make a donation to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund may do so by visiting the website at Newtown.uwwesternct.org. Checks may be mailed to SandyHook School Support Fund, c/o Newtown Savings Bank, 39 Main St., Newtown, CT 06470.

The Falcons have confirmed that they indeed locked up WR Brian Finneran before he hit the open market.
Atlanta signed Finneran to a one-year contract extension, according to reports. The team did not release the terms of his new deal. He would have become an unrestricted free agent in March.
Finneran, who is heading into his 10th NFL season, caught 11 passes for 111 yards in 10 games last season before he was placed on injured reserve with a torn PCL. He will likely face competition for a roster spot in training camp.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Renovations for a wounded warrior's home almost came to a halt. Their money ran out and volunteers needed another $10,000.
WAVE 3 News reported the story Friday. Within one day, the VFW answered the call to duty.
During a check presentation Saturday, Sgt. First Class John Gatz flashed a grin knowing his house will be a home again.
"Means a lot to me. Eases my mind," Gatz said.
When Gatz returned from Afghanistan, inspectors discovered poisonous mold in his family's home of 12 years. Gatz moved his family into a small apartment. That's when Service For Peace stepped in to help along with Operation Helping Heroes.
"The doctors told them that two of the children got junior asthma living in this house," Michael Morgan said.
Morgan, one of the leaders in renovating the home, immediately received a call after WAVE 3 News aired the story.
"I received an unexpected call from the VFW. The person on the other line was watching WAVE 3 and saw the great work being done," Morgan said.
The viewer would end up being VFW Commander in Chief William Thien. "We saw the story and knew we had to be part of this effort," Thien said.
Thien presented a $10,000 check the following day.
"All it does is reinforce my new train of thought that people do care and have not forgotten veteran service members," Gatz said.

It's an exhibition, and likely means nothing to anyone involved, but the U.S. Army All-American Bowl might just be a good game after all.
Teddy Bridgewater hooked up with Miles Shuler for the East team's first touchdown of the day, and produced the first points of the day for the East squad. It's now 10-6 in favor of the West team in the fourth quarter.
Bridgewater's recruitment is one of the more interesting stories of this recruiting season. He's from Miami and was originally committed to the University of Miami, but as the Hurricanes struggled in 2010, eventually costing Randy Shannon his job, Bridgewater wavered, then decommitted, eventually pledging a commitment to Louisville. For Charlie Strong, landing one of the most decorated prep quarterbacks in this year's class would be a coup.
North Carolina athlete Kris Frost, who has played both linebacker and wide receiver in high school, announced a commitment to Auburn.

Just something I happened to notice: your only cited source is Wikipedia. Anyone can add stuff to Wikipedia and call it fact. They don't even let students use Wikipedia to do research. Some people I know put false information on that website for a prank. Wikipedia is absolutely not fact. Sure, some people might be honest on that website, but it is still not a credible source. You said "research is key". Research should be done on websites that don't have false information on them. Also, pictures can be photoshopped. I just wanted to point that out. I'll be praying for you.

This beautiful Owego oak tree over 80 feet tall, on our property, has been photographed many years for it's beautiful fall foliage. Yesterday's storm forcefully 'bent' her over toward our house. There was no visible 'break" in the tree last night, although you could tell it was going down sooner or later. This morning "I-lean Oak" could hold it no more. She is now "I-lean-dover". Right over the yard, over the hedges, over the deck and onto the roof top. We are very lucky, it doesn't appear to have caused damage other than to the tree. Love how it's changed the view from inside. Very thankful. We know how so many others have suffered damage from the storm.
Hold that position... hold it, hold it

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This story, PKM Rangers, began when I was fifteen years old and unsure of the direction of my life. Having read a lot of fan-fiction on the Internet, it was my intent when writing this story to attempt new things in what a writer could do with a relationship story and a fan-fiction story. Whether I succeed or not depends entirely on your tastes, of course, and it is true there is no single original thought left in the world today. But it is my hope that in the years I have been writing and rewriting this story there exists some creativity that entertains you, as that is always my intent. At the age of twenty-three, one might think it a good idea to give up on the joys that captivated my childhood, but I always swear to be a fan of Power Rangers and Pokemon until the day I die. Despite my frequent pauses in writing this story (real life has become more difficult with each passing year) it is my intent that this story is one day completed, and I hope you join me on my journey to finish it.
This is an updated version of the original story, which is still available somewhere on this board, and this updated manuscript was completed with help from LuciferIX, without whom I might not have ever returned to continue this story. I decided to create a new thread for the story, given that much of the previous version has been alterded, so hopefully that isn't against a new rule that has been put in place in the years I've been away.
PKM Rangers was originally M-rated, as it began at a time in my life when I was immature and wanted to shock people. This updated version is T-rated for violent scenes and some sexual situations. A great deal of effort has been placed into this change, so if you have the time try to drop me a review letting me know if my changes were worth it. The ages for the (current) primary characters of the story are as follows:
Agent 1078: 28
May Birch: 28
Sarah Birch: 5
Max Birch: 25
Brock Harrison: 33
And without further ado, enjoy...
Morph One: The Man From Nowhere, Part 1
The dark man walked towards the towering building, his face shrouded in shadows. No one stopped him, no one asked directions, no one interfered in the least as he walked forward, interested only in the convention center in front of him. His dark attention was firmly fixed on the giant double-doors before him. Hands in his pockets, he slugged forward, his shoulders shifting from side to side as he swayed. He barely noticed the other creature standing on his shoulder, a quiet yellow mouse about the size of a basketball that took in the center through its beady little eyes, its nose checking the scents of the venders and the wares inside. The man didn't notice, and pulled one gloved hand out of his pocket, slamming his palm against the clear glass door, and hot air blasted at him, an alteration from the cold, crisp air of the January morning. Shrugging off the new heat, the man walked into the center, the door falling back after him as he relieved the tension that his hand exerted, and placed his hand back in the pockets of his dark pants.
It had been a while since he had stopped traveling, since he had stopped his journeys and explorations with his friends. He had pursued a different goal in life than Max or Brock. He had found another path, separate from Misty or Tracey. They had all done what they had wanted with their lives, and were still doing it. Dawn, after all, hadn't fallen from light. She was a coordinator now, like another, certain someone that the dark man knew. It had been a while since he had seen Brock, Max, even Gary. It had been a while since he had been home, or even had a place to call home. He was on a "break," a break that had been standing for about two years now, without showing signs of stopping. But he didn't know if he wanted it to stop, because even if he did, nothing could be done. For a long while now, his only friend was the one sitting on his shoulder, looking through the vast crowd of people that was swooning around, searching for any signs of the dark man's old friends.
The young man hadn't changed much since the old days, when he had been excited, an eager trainer waiting to make his mark in the world, to become the greatest Pokemon Master ever born. Except that he wasn't the greatest Pokemon Master ever born. Drawing influence on the dark man's personality, his clothes would not have been out of place in an otaku conference. He had ditched the hat, first of all, tired of the trademarked look. His hair was now free, and mostly unkempt, several times its original mass, though it still stuck up like it used to in the old days. Most of it was tied in a ponytail, which served no purpose other than to direct the unkempt hair in the correct direction. Instead of the hood and the nice shirts he had worn in the days past, a plain yellow t-shirt fluttered around his stomach with each step. The pants were black and baggy, rather than dark blue and neat, but beneath them steel-toed combat boots clunked against the polished floors he walked on.
There really wasn't anything interesting about him. He was above-average in height, a few inches above six feet. The baggy outfit the man wore concealed the broad and powerful muscles he had, and did exactly as it was designed to do, hide his physique. A chain jingled around his neck, made of what appeared to be either silver or stainless steel, connected by interlocking links. At the end of the chain hung a simple symbol, a ring crafted out of gold that might have fit on his fourth finger, had he worn it there. The man glanced down at it, and took a deep breath. After all this time, he still felt the brutal sting of what the ring symbolized. But what did he expect, to wake up one day and the pain wouldn't be there?
"Damn," his muttered, looking up once more from the ring. He felt it hit his chest every time he moved. The pain was stronger here, in this place. He looked around, watching the people, knowing that he shouldn't, but secretly hoped, that he would see her again. It wasn't as though he didn't have some form of contact with her, he did, after all, have to send the check to her every month, his precious money which, by order of law, he was required to pay, handing her money which paid for someone he wasn't even allowed to see. He almost, but not quite, chuckled at the irony of how his money was used. Sometimes that was just the thing about life, in that it could sometimes kill you with stupid irony.
The mouse riding atop his shoulder, an electric type, looked at him with its beady eyes. His eternal companion, its red cheeks sparked as it checked him out, making sure that its trainer was alright. At the same time, its small, long ears perked, listening in for something, or someone. Its tail, shaped like a powerful lightning bolt, stuck out from the back of the man's head, or, at least, it looked that way if you were on the right side of the man. It too, looked older, but it still held the spark that the dark man had forgotten.
The man looked around, then sighed again. "So, where is she?" he muttered, looking up at the atrium's main arch. He had been walking down it, the atrium was just one of many entrances to the center, heading towards the battle arenas. A sign was draped over the atrium's exit, proclaiming Saffron City Pokemon Contest- Invitation Only in bright purple lettering. The mouse on his shoulder issued a squeak with an eager "Pika!" The man just shook his head, and scratched his chin with one gloved finger. "Well, I hope she brought Sarah. You shouldn't leave a little girl at home alone." Picking up his feet once more, he made his way through the columned atrium's exit, and entered the convention center's main battle arena section.
At once, the moment he left the comparatively quiet area of the atrium, bright lights issued from all round him, colors swirling in front of him. He could see everything: people fleeing across the floors in search of food, circles of spectators watching as below them, contests were being won and lost, thanks to some ingenious design in the center's layout that had battles below, with glass ceilings above where the spectators watched, allowing for more focus, as the combatants couldn't hear the cheers or boos their performance generated. The dark man passed over the battles, mostly ignoring them, as he headed for the registration booths to pick up an identification badge. There are way too many people here. The man yawned at the thought, he was getting bored already. Sighting the booths over on the other side of the center, amidst a sea of people standing in line waiting for them, so that they too might partake of the festivities and watch the matches. Making his way over to the area, the dark man turned to the yellow rodent. "Are you sure she'll be here, Pikachu?" he asked.
As the dark man blatantly ignored the long line to retrieve an all-access badge, and headed straight up to the receptionists, the mouse nodded. "Pi!" it squeaked, confirming exactly what the man had said. Its eyes were scanning the floors below, the contest matches that were taking place, in search for her, or any other familiar faces in the crowds. The man knew she would be here, of course, since she was one of the top coordinators from Hoenn, but he really didn't want to catch her at an inopportune time. There was also a good chance that the others were here, supporting her. He didn't exactly want to see them, as he hadn't parted on good terms with them. After all, he was the one who had caused the demise of the relationship, not the other way around, and his former friends could never understand his point of view.
The people waiting in line didn't seem to take his point of view either, as a few of them were shouting at him for barging to the front of the line. As the man turned to the receptionist, a young redhead girl, he felt a strong poke jab him straight in the back. Annoyed, but not tempted to violence, the man bent his head to the girl, leaning onto the tall blue counter set up in front of her. "Reservation," he muttered, pulling out a scrap of paper from his pants pocket, and handing the folded sheet to her. "An all-access pass, please." The girl took it from him, and smiled at him with her emerald eyes.
"Just one moment," she answered, looking down to her computer terminal. The man nodded, and felt another sharp jab, this one to his lower back, followed by a vehement exclamation demanding to know exactly what the man thought he was doing and who he thought he was. If the nerd who was hitting him got any lower, the man silently decided that he would deck whoever was behind him. Fortunately, when the receptionist said to wait a moment, she really meant it, something very rare in the man's experience. "Here you go," she answered, handing the man a small, clip-on badge in the shape of a rectangle with a famous coordinator on it smiling at him. The man took it without looking and placed it into his pocket for later attachment.
"Thanks," the man grumbled, before turning around to see the offending person who had had the audacity to touch him. A tall, Goth boy, with pale face paint over his skin, with dyed raven hair was looking directly at him, a slight snarl embedded on his black lips. The dark man was unmoved. "What do you want?"
The Goth seemed angry about something. "I want to know why you think you can skip clear to the head of the line without waiting like the rest of us," he demanded, his various chains jiggling all over his dark attire as he shook his fist at the dark man. "What makes you better than us?" The crowd chorused its agreement.
The man considered answering them, but decided against it. Instead, he turned towards the mouse riding on his shoulder. "Want to get something to drink? I'm thirsty." he asked it, deliberately dodging the question the Goth had so kindly wanted him to answer. The mouse nodded, issuing one squeaking "Pi!" The dark man nodded, and began to scan the surroundings for the nearest drinking establishment. One caught his attention, a bar made up in the theme of a Orre cantina, that he liked the look of. The double doors were open, so he started walking forward, leaving the line without another word. What is this, a nerd convention? I would think she would have a better rep. He decided against asking anyone, including himself, the answer to that question, considering that he himself came here every year, so that would make him one of the 'nerds' that frequented these kinds of events.
"When's our first match?" the dark man muttered, shifting his face to look at the Pikachu. The little mouse shook its even smaller shoulders, and gave out a long stream of squeaks and murmurs, all of which either used the whole or part of the word "Pikachu." The man nodded. "I'll consult the chart later. They said I wouldn't start until tomorrow anyway." Both trainer and Pokemon made their way through the public, the man making sure that he didn't draw any attention. He didn't want anyone to recognize him. That was the precise reason that he had grown out his hair and changed his clothes from the ones commonly associated with him. He preferred privacy, one of the main reasons he kept such small contact with other people, and why he dressed himself differently. He didn't want the paparazzi after him, the media hounds that had ruined his life once. It had taken an entire year to ditch them. Now, he blended into the crowd, another passing, forgettable face.
The dark man pushed open the revolving doors to the bar, and took in the scent of cheap booze and drunks. This was one of his safe havens, a place that he go could to without being hounded, where he could enjoy the simpler things of life, and for a few hours just forget about his problems. The atmosphere was hazy, the reek of tobacco beckoning him from all over, swirls of smoke tracing the wooden ceiling above him. The TV was muted, but turned onto some coverage channel, most likely one of the matches that was going on. Twenty people were assembled in the dank bar, not counting the bartender, all of them staring into their bottles of hooch, or at the screen, where a Blaziken was blasting an Aipom with a Blaze Kick, followed by a Sky Uppercut. The man ignored the drunks, who all seemed to be slewing in some sort of misery. He had his own problems, so he didn't engage any of them in conversation, as they could get the impression he cared. He heaved himself forward, and took a solitary seat on one of the barstools in front of the bartender. Pikachu, mimicking its trainer, hopped off its perch, and settled down on the table in a laid-down position.
The man opened his mouth. "Give me the darkest beer you've got," he grunted, looking up at the bartender. "Now." The man placed a hand in his pockets, drawing forth a few bills and his access badge. The bartender took them up, and peered over the information, studying the dark man's face. When he was satisfied, the bartender handed the badge back to the man, and took the money.
The bartender, a grubby looking man with an eye patch over the left side of his face, nodded his head, pushing back the blond locks of his hair. "Coming right up," he answered politely, but with a slight growl. The dark man nodded, and the barkeep walked towards the old fashioned register next to the taps, ringing up the sale, and collecting the change from the tin. The bartender grabbed a mug from under the counter, and took out the tap for the darkest Orre swill he had. Pressing down on the button attached to the nozzle, a steady stream of dark beer poured into the cup. The keep tilted the mug, the foam falling out onto the floor as the container was filled. When the mug was full, the bartender raised his other arm and coughed hard, making sure to keep it away from the drink. The bartender then placed the drink down onto the shiny surface of the counter, and shoved it down towards the dark man, who caught it without glancing at the bartender.
"Here's your change," the one-eyed man muttered, handing back a few coins to the other, who just took them in his gloved hand and pocketed them. The man stared at the drink, while the bartender reached into his pocket to obtain the pack of smokes he kept in his pants, along with a small lighter with the image of a naked woman embossed on the surface. He opened the pack and grabbed one of the slim joints, shoving it into his yellowed, stained mouth, placing the pack back into his pocket and lighting the smoke with the flames from his lighter. Putting the lighter back, the bartender took a deep drag from the cigarette, before removing it from his mouth to blow more of the carbon monoxide-created haze into the air.
The dark man looked up to the bartender, who appeared to be immensely enjoying the burning joint, and made a slight face of disgust with his mouth. "You know, that's bad for you," he said with a solemn voice, before raising the tankard of beer to his lips. As the bartender watched, the man took a deep draught from the mug, emptying about a fourth of the contents into his mouth. He stopped to let the alcohol take its natural course, as drinking too much at once was a hazard, and set the tankard down.
The bartender laughed. "Yeah, the alcoholic tell the smoker that what he does is bad," he coughed. The dark man joined in, chuckling at the irony with him. "What I do to myself ain't much worse then what you do to yourself, ya know."
The dark man nodded. "I'm not an alcoholic, buddy," he replied, raising the glass once more. "I just like the taste is all." The barkeep chortled as the man made about half the contents of the tankard's original amount of liquid vanish mysteriously into his stomach. "Hey, you want some, Pikachu?" The mouse looked up, but shook its head. "Give my friend here a glass of milk." At this, the rodent nodded vigorously. The bartender just sighed, but got out a platter of milk for the Pokemon. Pikachu gave out an almighty squeak of thanks to its trainer, before it shoved its face into the drink and inhaled. The dark trainer fished out another few bucks, and passed them to the barkeep. "So, what's going on there?" he asked, pointing towards the television in the corner. The Blaziken had defeated the Aipom, and a play-by-play of the last move was being displayed, along with the scores.
The barkeep shook his head in confusion. "Don't ya know who that is?" he asked, pointing a finger at the screen. "That's the girl who's gotten the most bets placed on her. She's the favorite to win this year's Contest." The dark trainer grunted in acknowledgment, as a new picture came on the screen, displaying the girl in question. "The Contest started today, with the semifinals and finals taking place tomorrow. This kind of event is pretty good for me, 'cause most people come here ta drown their sorrows after losing in some booze."
The man wasn't paying attention to what the bartender was saying, focusing his attention on the woman in the picture, who was waving energetically and smiling. Her soft auburn hair fell down, slightly obscuring the azure eyes that were sparkling with triumph. She had grown out her hair, he noticed, since he had last seen her.
The dark man finished the glass, draining every last drop down his throat. "I suppose you are right," he muttered, staring through the empty bottom of the mug. "I'm one of the contestants, and it ain't exactly a peachy day for me either." The man looked down at the badge he had taken from the registration booth, and groaned aloud. The coordinator he had just seen on the TV stared back at him, her face fixed into a smiling grin, with two fingers sticking out of her fist, making the bunny signal.

"Unnnnnccccle Maaaaaax!"
Deep, deep down, Max Birch loved his niece. Honest to goodness he did. He had been there when she was born, and had personally overseen her childhood with May for the last two years. He was perfectly willing to do whatever he could to protect her, and would do almost anything for her. This did not, however, change the fact that he would have done practically anything to avoid guard duty when May was off doing a match in the Contest.
Sarah Birch, the single most energetic girl that Max had ever met, gripped her uncle's hand with a strength that didn't seem to Max normal from a five-year-old. Plowing through the crowd, Max made certain that he didn't lose track of her, partially because he was a loving and caring uncle, but mostly because of the threat the little girl's overprotective mother had administered to him prior to heading for her match. Max chuckled sheepishly, keeping an eye on the little girl so that she wouldn't cause any trouble, one of the single greatest challenges he had ever faced.
Why May always picked him for guard duty, he never knew, though silently he screamed in exhaustion as Sarah somehow got behind him, and he suddenly felt a slight burden on his shoulders as she leapt up. Max groaned as he felt his eardrums burst, Sarah shouting for a piggyback ride as though he was standing on the opposite side of a battlefield. Already, his dark jade shirt was creasing, and beads of sweat fell from his face. His feet ached, an after-affect from chasing the little girl around. He needed to recuperate. "Hey, think we can sit down for a sec?" he asked, panting vigorously.
She giggled, grabbing the front of his neck as he tucked her little legs under his arms. "Yee-hah! Go, Uncle Max, go!" she squealed, kicking him hard in the side, like a cowboy spurs a Ponyta. Max reared in shock, but reluctantly neighed for the girl as he lumbered in the direction of the nearest place to sit. He looked around quickly, as he needed a place that would both let him sit and keep Sarah occupied. Deciding that his back was more important than spoiling dinner for Sarah, Max buckled towards an open food court, which seemed to house all sorts of different venders selling stuff. Passing through the crowd, Max panted as he approached one of the booths, and set the girl on his shoulders down onto one side of the table atop the large cushioned seat that spanned the outside of the table. She bounced around happily as Max deposited himself on the other side, panting roughly, and wiping his brow.
Sarah, easily distracted, looked in the direction of one of the arenas, where someone was losing. It was an exhibition battle, not part of the actual tournament, but the little girl turned towards Max, and smiled. "Is Mommy gonna win?" she asked, her high, assertive voice trailing over all the commotion going on around them. She dropped her head and popped onto the table, though her eyes remained trained on her uncle.
Max grinned, and raised his thumb. "She'd better win, or we're all gonna be in big, big trouble," he replied, pushing himself into an upright sitting position. It wasn't that he didn't mind babysitting Sarah, it was just that she somehow always managed to make him feel so old. Living with and watching a baby niece was definitely one of those things that could put grey hairs on Max's head, though thankfully the dark locks had remained intact since his old journeying days. They were a little longer now, and needed occasional brushing out of the eyes, but were otherwise fine. Max still wore glasses, though the style he had now was thinner and narrower than the kinds he had worn as a child. Sighing, he adjusted the lenses, making sure that they were firmly attached to his head. Blindness was not a good thing when watching Sarah. "You want something to eat?" Max looked round the venders, taking stock of what each was selling. "I think one of these guys should have some pizza for ya."
Sarah, at the very mention of the word 'pizza', changed, suddenly beginning to drool from her mouth, her foot shaking itself into a frenzy. "Pitza!" she shouted happily, mispronouncing the word as she always did, raising her arms. She hadn't learned yet how to properly say her favorite food, but she was far too cute when she said it for anyone to correct her. "Pitza!"
Max chuckled, shaking his head. "Sure thing, kid," he replied, rising from where he was sitting. He spotted the pizza vender, which wasn't that far from where they were, only a few feet away. Sarah jumped up from her seat, and followed her uncle, grabbing his larger hand as they went. The vender, a large man, whose lower face was covered by an unbelievably heavy, thick, auburn moustache. Max thought the man smiled, as the hair inclined upwards at the edges when they approached.
"Tell him what you want, squirt," Max said, nudging her forward.
As Sarah, in rampart detail, explained to the vender exactly what she wanted, Max looked at her, and smiled. He was a lucky guy to have such a cool niece in his life. And she was, of course, May's daughter, which meant that the dark, almost raven, auburn hair shined in the convention center's light, glowing with an inner beauty that plenty of guys would be stunned by when she grew up. Sarah, unlike her mother, was big on the shopping deal, having inherited the feminine gene from her grandmother that drove crazy women to shop. So she wore designer jeans, even though she was five, with a small yellow shirt that was tucked into her pants. She even had running shoes on her feet. But it was probably the eyes that Max always noticed the most when he saw her. Eyes that could freeze a Charizard in its tracks. Pools of midnight black, which carried a strange combination of fierceness and gentleness.
They were his, the eyes of her father, and Max knew well enough not to mention them. Even so much as saying his name near Sarah or May warranted a death sentence according to his sister. But still, he had left his mark on his daughter, and he never ceased to feel amazed at exactly how intense the gaze was. I wonder if she even knows who her father is. It was May's revenge against him, and Max sagged his head in dismay. No matter how much I hate him, no child should be kept away from her father. Sarah looked up to him, and offered a wide smile. Max replied with a grin, and paid the vendor, taking the receipt from the man, and walked back to the booth to wait for the entire, large pizza pie that Sarah had ordered.
He sighed, staring at the ceiling. Times really have changed since it happened… As Max drifted off, Sarah began to demand attention once more, and it wasn't until a firm shoe slammed into his knee did Max return to reality, shaking his head. Sarah wanted the now-finished pizza from the vendor. Max chuckled, and nodded, rising to get it. She was such a happy child, for all she had been shielded from by her mother and family.
"Hey, Max!" The man, caught off guard, failed to notice as he was grabbed roughly in a giant, unbearably painful hug, as he set the pizza down on the table for Sarah. Max grunted in annoyance, though he knew the master of the voice. Brock Harrison squeezed a final time, before releasing Max to recover breath, laughing his head off. Max grinned, turning round to clasp the hands of his fellow Gym leader. He hadn't known that Brock would be attending, but it was a nice surprise nonetheless.
"Hey, old man," the younger man chuckled, shaking Brock's hand in welcome. Brock grinned, his fox-eyes nothing more than friendly slits on his face. They hadn't changed, just like the Brock that Max, May, and little Sarah knew and loved, his personality still bright and optimistic, if slightly more perverted than the old days, as Max could see Brock staring at one of the surrounding women out of the corner of his eyes. Brock's hair was a little longer, though it still gave someone the impression that he had stuck a pin cushion on his head and colored it brown. The spikes were longer, bent at the ends, and held up by a dark blue headband. He seemed to have gotten more tanned since Max had last seen him, and wore a dark brown vest with a navy blue shirt underneath. He wore black cargo pants, and nice, highly polished boots that in themselves qualified as a light source. "It's been a while, Brock. Good to see you."
Brock issued a giant laugh. "Same here, buddy!" he retorted, passing the younger man. "Scoot, squirt." Sarah cheered, moving hurriedly so that Brock could settle himself down next to her, and he patted her on the head, ruffling her dark auburn hair. "It's good to see you two here." He bent towards Sarah, and winked. "Now, have you been behaving for your momma, Sarah?" He pulled out a box of chocolate, a special Kanto delicacy that he gave the little girl every time he saw her.
The girl nodded, and snatched for the candy, which Brock kept just out of range. "Yes, Uncle Brock!" she squealed back. Chuckling, Brock lowered his hand, and handed her the candy, which she thoroughly inspected before tucking it away in her pants pocket. She then eyed, and began attacking, the pizza, tearing off a slice of the cheese-based product and gobbling it up.
Max grinned, looking at the exhausted form of Max, who was munching on a slice of his own.
"And have you been a good girl for Uncle Max?" he asked.
"Nope," the other man muttered, a final pant escaping his lips. Brock and Sarah laughed. "She's a little demon. Aren't ya Sarah?" She laughed, and nodded her head.
Brock, deciding the moment was too good to waste, deepened his voice, taking on the sterner, more adult accent he once used on his own brothers and sisters when they misbehaved. "Sarah," he lectured, wagging his finger at her as if he was displeased, "say sorry to Uncle Max."
The little girl giggled, and bobbed her head up and down. "Sowwy, Uncle Max," she chirped sweetly. "I'll be good from now on!" Brock thanked her, while Max decided they would have better luck figuring out a way to make 'from now on' last longer than the hour it usually did.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - While surveillance video released Wednesday that showed an incident on board a TARC bus is certainly giving the public a better idea of what happened during the violent bus ride of March 16 in Louisville, there are still many questions. Some of those questions are coming from the family of the young man who died as a result of the confrontation, 14-year-old Me'Quale Offutt.
Everyday, TARC drivers pick up hundreds of people waiting at the bus stop. Most of those people are just trying to get to work or around town. But some riders bring trouble and what is a driver to do?
"I think we all keep it in the back of our minds because you never know when it's going to happen," said TARC Drivers local 1447 Transit Representative Jonathan Dooley.
Dooley said TARC drivers are worried about violence they said happens too often.
Investigators maintain Offutt and the group of teens he was with forced rider Anthony Allen to use self defense during the March 16 bus ride.
Video from on board the TARC shows Allen being picked up and complaining about other buses passing him by to the driver.
Offutt and friends get on the bus and eventually Allen and the teens exchange words. Allen then threatens to "whoop everybody" as he inches closer toward the teens. After some back and forth, things calm down and Allen clearly asks the driver to get off the bus, twice.
"Open the door please," Allen said then repeated to the driver, "open the door please."
Offutt's mother Aesha Duncan said after seeing news clips of the ride, she doesn't understand why the driver ignored Allen's request.
"Why wouldn't she just let him off the bus, what are you holding this man on the bus for?" she asked. "He (Allen) was already, you know causing problems, so just let him off the bus," Duncan continued, "He's asking to get off and the kids are asking her to let him off and she's not opening the door!"
As Duncan mentioned, the teens are heard asking the driver to let Allen off too. But, the driver doesn't. That's when Allen gets vocal again.
Less than two minutes after Allen asked to be let off the bus, the argument turned physical with the first punch thrown by a girl. Police said Allen then stabbed the girl and Offutt in self defense as the driver opened the door.
Dooley said he didn't see the video, but he said the protocol when someone wants to get off the bus is if, "Somebody wants to get off, then you open the door."
We asked what the protocol was when the bus was moving. Dooley answered, "You stop the bus and you let them off."
Dooley said the driver may have been waiting for the next bus stop.
It's entire situation is hard for Offutt's mother to understand, but she's making a request that everyone stop the violence.
"It's not going to bring any justice for Me'Quale, so I just want all the kids to just stay positive and out of the streets and not to get in trouble," she said.
Dooley said the union is in talks with management about safety improvements. They said in the past when drivers have called for back up, help has not been fast enough.
The driver in question is a rookie, only being on the job about one year. We are told she's upset over the incident and hasn't gone back to driving.

rock'n roll hoodie
Today I jazzed up a little purple hoodie for Loopy to wear back to school, now that she is a rocker chick. I found this cute hoodie here and found a retro Blondie tee here.
The best part of this entire project was an excuse to use my new Crystal Fire BeJeweler and it was quick and easy... next thing I knew I'd used up two bags of Swarovski crystals. I love the grungy quality of this little project... it's very punk rock. I just cut the silkscreened tee apart and sewed it directly on the hoodie, with vertical seams along the zipper, and then cut along the zip line to open it up. I'll be keeping my eyes open for more tees and hoodies to embellish from now on.

Wow! It looks even better than I expected - and I see that you have replaced the cord of the hood with ribbon? We/you should source out big blingy beads for the ends of the ribbons! You always say "If less is more,how delighfully more MORE is!" and wouldn't beads be so "MORE"??? Loopy must be thrilled!

BEES: Bridport's Brislington clash off
11:12am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in Sport By David Williams, Sports Reporter
A WATERLOGGED pitch at St Mary's Field has led to tonight's Toolstation Western Premier Division game between Bridport and Brislington being postponed.
The postponement is yet another in a long list of Bridport matches to fall foul of the wet weather in recent weeks.
Trevor Senior's Bees are scheduled to face Winterbourne United at home this Saturday (3pm) but there are likely to be doubts over that taking place too.

After a few weeks of voting, and some furious social networking from fighters, the results are finally here.
Best Submission
Winner: Rose Namajunas (54%) flying armbars Kathina Catron into oblivion... in 12 seconds. The work speaks for itself.
2nd place: Ronda Rousey (27%) armbars Miesha Tate again

My pick: Voting got it right in my books. I'd like to give some big props to Alexis Davis for being the first to submit Shayna Baszler (she went to sleep as well, also a first). And to Jessica Penne. This girl's long, long legs like Jon Jones' arms allow for some funky moves you wouldn't see anywhere else. She CROSSED her damned legs like they teach you in Kindergarten, then transitioned to the body triangle and tapped out Nicdali.
Full results and fight links
54% Rose Namajunas vs. Kathina Catron (Full Fight)
7% Jessica Penne vs. Michelle Waterson (Full Fight)
6% Ronda Rousey vs. Liz Carmouche (Zuffa)

A Tuscaloosa teen got the chance of a lifetime this week: to meet the President of the United States.
Tyler Merriweather is the Boys and Girls Club of America's Southeast Youth of the Year. He met President Obama yesterday to discuss some of the most pressing issues facing young people today. Among the top issues: education and job access.
Merriweather says the Boys and Girls Clubs of West Alabama was a sanctuary for him over the past five years.
Merriweather spent much of his youth helping his single mother and taking care of his sister who has medical challenges. He says the time he spent at the club helped him to develop into a caring and driven young man.
Merriweather is now studying accounting at the University of Alabama.

Hannah out to be Miss England

That stupid sled.
U.S. Border Patrol Agents Art and J.J. had no problems stacking watermelons, landing helicopters or rappelling down side scrappers, but when asked to ride a sled ... that's where everything began to unwind.
"When I got up there, I never thought there would be a problem," explained Velez at the 2012 NRA National Police Shooting Championships in New Mexico. "I needed to pick a sled with the thinnest rails so I could go as fast as possible. The idea of trying to balance on that thing never even crossed my mind. Thought it would be a piece of cake.
"They guys were holding all these sleds. I thought the one with the thinnest rails would go the fastest. If I had picked the other sled that had the wider fat rails, I would have made it down the hill in a flash. But I went for the thin rails. That's what ended up killing me."

Albuquerque, New Mexico - A couple of weeks ago, we began a review of guns. The guns used by Chase Blohm to win High Sheriff at NRA's 2012 National Police Shooting Championships in Albuquerque. Since last time we looked at a revolver, I thought now was the time for a semi-automatic. Presenting the Smith & Wesson PPC 9 six inch.
"About four years ago I purchased this PPC 9," said Blohm. "Originally I shot a five inch and just worked my way up. When I made the change, my points jumped up at least ten."

Albuquerque, New Mexico - While in New Mexico for the 2012 National Police Shooting Championships, we ran into one-time NRAblog correspondent Patrick Hernandez. Patrick, if you remember, wrote about his club — the New Mexico Military Surplus Rifles and Pistols Shooters.
That's when it hit NRANews producer John Popp ... who better to perform a Curator's Corner on the fly then Pat? With the invitation extended, Pat ran home home and brought a few of his firearms for the NRANews cameras and crew.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - For the past couple of Mondays, we've been sharing the story of Art Velez and his time on the CBS reality show Amazing Race. Art is a shooter for the U.S. Border Patrol pistol team. That means we can't help but bump into him every September during the National Police Shooting Championships. He took the opportunity to do something he couldn't do while the show aired ... talk.
"That was probably the most frustrating part," said Velez. "I was allowed to tell my wife and my son but that was it.
"Everybody in the family had to sign non-disclosure agreements. My parents, her parents, my sister. It was probably hardest for my son because he was a freshman in high school. The kids were always on him for the inside scoop."

Albuquerque, New Mexico - The Amazing Race is more than just a reality show. We learned that a few weeks ago when talking to Season 20 contestant Art Velez. Art and his partner J.J. finished second overall in an adventure that spanned five continents and dozens of timezones. While competing in NRA's 50th National Police Shooting Championships, Art stepped to the sidelines and told us about the wear and tear such an adventure can have.
"We were on for three weeks, twenty-one days of non-stop action going 24/7. It was amazing."
How's that for an unintended pun?
It's easy to forget that Amazing Race contestants aren't just taking part in challenges. They're doing so while flying from timezone to timezone to timezone. Anyone who's experienced jet lag knows how taxing that such flights can be on your system. That's when you go from the reality show to the reality of life.

Albuquerque, New Mexico - The gentleman above with a shotgun in hand is Patrolman Charles "Chase" Blohm, Jr. of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office in Memphis, Tennessee. An eight year veteran of the force, Blohm is a Detective in the General Investigations Bureau. He is also the High Sheriff for the 2012 National Police Shooting Championships.
One thing Chase has learned throughout his years of competing for the Shelby County Pistol team is that you need a lot of guns to win a championship. For Chase, and shooters like him, sometimes that means you have to borrow a gun or two. Heck, when you're in the middle of getting your masters and your wife is going to law school, you might have to borrow even more.
More on the Guns of NRA's High Sheriff ...
Albuquerque, New Mexico - Sunday night marked the opening night for the 21st season of Amazing Race on CBS — a globe trekking competition where contestants take on challenges and obstacles related to the locale's culture and community. At the end of every episode (well, almost every episode), the last team to complete that leg of the race is eliminated.
In Season 20, teams took twenty-four days to travel to twenty-two cities in ten countries on five different continents. Why mention that? Because we had a few of the NRA faithful take on the Amazing Race Challenge.
More on Art Velez's time on the Amazing Race...
Albuquerque, New Mexico - One of the things that makes Albuquerque such a great location for the National Police Shooting Championship is its impressive 100-point turning target range. Competitors make use of shooting mats while in the prone position during 50 yard stages to pad their knees and, most importantly, elbows. Albuquerque's hard-packed desert ground isn't very forgiving on human joints, let alone the concrete firing lines competitors shoot from, which is why these mats are needed.

Ask the Editor questions from the past week:
A. No, we don't automatically capitalize or even mention theme days or months in news stories. Some are transparently promotional.
A. It's health care, health care law, health care system, health care reforms, etc., etc.
A. Lowercase the short version: task force.
A. The outages are scheduled Saturday from 1 a.m. to 11 a.m. EDT.
A. It's phaseout, one word in the dictionary spelling.
A. One word in a proper name: Market Street Subsite.
A. AP financial stories use the term market caps.
A. Drowning means to die by suffocation in water. If the drowning victim is revived, he or she survived a near-drowning.
A. It might unless there's direct attribution or the term is used to summarize information from an individual in a position to know.
A. Do not include TNC in parentheses or set off by dashes after spelling out the term, as explained in AVOID AWKWARD CONSTRUCTIONS section of the "parentheses" entry.
A. No hyphens in free agent shooting guard.
A. Go with the dictionary plurals: noes, yeses.
A. In AP stories, Bond girl.
A. AP stories lowercase transportation network company or companies. The abbreviation TNC may be used in follow-ups, but not enclosed in parentheses.
A. These are descriptives rather than possessives, spelled as you have them.
A. In AP stories, whale watching.
A. Leave the group name as a descriptive: Saints Spirit.
A. The British siege of Boston during the Revolutionary War.
A. AP stories have used swipe card records.
A. Written out as designated for assignment. The abbreviation DFA is used in headlines. The past tense in a quoted sentence could be DFA'd.
A. AP spells out gallon, with the exception of mpg, acceptable in all references for miles per gallon.
A. Using was and first suggests that the company has added additional overseas enterprises since 2010.
A. It's lowercase.
A. Capitalized as a principal word. See "composition titles" for the guidance.
A. No, don't set off Inc. with commas in a corporate name. See the Stylebook's "incorporated" entry.
A. Evidently the meanings explain the acronyms, so that should work.
A. It's a long title, so you might use a shorthand form on first reference, such as a Defense Department or Pentagon official said XYZ. On second reference, use the name and title in apposition: John Doe, assistant secretary of defense for Western Hemisphere affairs, ....
A. The term downspeed is occasionally used in AP stories about sailing races, such as downspeed tack. The one-word spelling should also be correct in transportation contexts.
A. AP stories related to farming frequently used ag in headlines. An example: 17 ag operations in Virginia get federal funds. Within a text, the abbreviation might appear in a quote or in a shorthand term related to agriculture.
A. The day usually precedes the time in AP usages, with the hours preceded by a comma: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. EST.
A. Make it plural without hyphens: the 30 credit hours program.
A. The second option is better: The company will host an employee picnic Oct. 27.
A. Bachelor of Arts in political science. Capitalize a degree specialty only if it's a proper noun: e.g., Bachelor of Arts in English.
A. Singular for the partial acre reference: from .50 acre to 102 acres.
A. Compared to 2013, open source terms are increasingly spelled without hyphens in AP news stories.
A. No comma after nonprofit.
A. "Do you like candy? Then boy, oh, boy have we got something for you."
A. Based on the dictionary idiom, sword's point.
A. It's lampshade in Webster's New World College Dictionary.
A. I don't find this term in AP stories. If it's a trademark or brand name, the term would be capitalized on first use. How widely it is recognized could determine whether the all-caps abbreviation is acceptable on second reference. Alternatively, it could be a shorted form: the talent reporting system, or similar.
A. Correct with the figure 50.
A. The company shareholders would lose 20-30 cents a share, without a dollar sign or period before the numerals.
A. AP stories generally use Rand Corp. these days.
A. I'd stick with the idiom: sooner rather than later.
A. A recent AP story spelled it click-bait.
A. Less than 5 percent of students ...
A. Common usage.
A. Correct spelled as the wheres and hows.
A. AP stories favor breast milk, two words.
A. Both uses of hemophilia are lowercase, though A for the type is capitalized.
A. The phrasing is clear without hyphens.
A. Hyphenate anti-harassment.
A. It's 8-10 a.m. Aug. 23 without a comma between time and date. For hourly times crossing noon or midnight, use both abbreviations: 11 a.m.-1 p.m. or 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A. Yes, a period if the sentence stands alone, or a comma after dance if an attribution is added: "If only you could dance," she said.
A. We avoid this bureaucratic construction in news stories. Either word suffices.
A. Fine to use bucks in a casual context. The amount can be a numeral unless it starts the sentence.
A. The 2008 Stylebook settled on "mindset" (one word), an exception to the first spelling in Webster's New World College Dictionary, which says "also mindset." The Stylebook's two backup dictionaries list mindset first.
A. The first sentence is awkward even when retouched: France wears purple hats when eating grapes. The second sentence should use the past tense, in agreement with the verb in the second clause: Italy played for hours too long, and the crowd sat in the rain.
A. The capitalization works if it's a formal event of that name and publicized as such.
A. In line with Webster's multiple-choice (adj.) entry, hyphenate multiple-response survey.
A. Use state abbreviations in datelines. See ABBREVIATIONS REQUIRED section of the "state names" entry for elaboration.
A. Correct.
A. The first without a hyphen.
A. Yes.
A. All three are acceptable, but don't overuse versions with the attribution first.

Eau Claire (WQOW) -- The opponents weren't easy (all three ranked in the top-25 by D3Football.com) and the results weren't what they wanted (three losses) but the UW-Eau Claire football team is battle tested entering WIAC play.
On Saturday, the Blugolds dug and early hole against 10th-ranked Pacific Lutheran, going down 21-7 at the half. But the second half was a different story. The defense shut down the Lute and the offense was a two-point conversion away from tying the game late in the 4th. The comeback gives the team optimism as it prepares for the start of the conference season.

|Thursday, January 16, 2014 9:00 PM
At approximately 2:25 a.m. Sunday, the Delphos Police Department received a call of a possible intoxicated driver on Elida Road. After receiving a description of the vehicle, officers were able to locate it traveling north on Elida Road approaching Fifth Street. Officers then viewed the vehicle fail to turn at the intersection and continue to travel off of the roadway striking a tree and coming to rest. Officers then made contact with the driver, 54-year-old Robert Nienberg of Delphos. Officers found probable cause to arrest Nienberg for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage. Nienberg will appear in Lima Municipal Court to face the OVI charge as well as multiple traffic related violations.
On Monday, Delphos police officers responded to a report of a theft incident in the 1200 block of South Erie Street. Officers met with the victim who gave officers a description of the item taken. The item was later located at a local recycling center. Investigating officers were able to discover that the item was taken to the recycling center by, 51-year-old James Diltz of Delphos. As a result of the investigation, Diltz will face a charge of receiving stolen property. He will appear in Lima Municipal Court at a later date.
On Tuesday, officers were made aware of an active warrant for 23-year-old Joshua Trenkamp of Delphos. Officers were able to locate Trenkamp at which time he was taken into custody. Trenkamp was transported to the Delphos Police Department where he was later turned over to an Allen County Sheriff's Deputy.
