Learning MODO with the included on-line documentation is really just a starting point. The Foundry has brought together a diverse collection of learning materials in video form that MODO users can work with individually or in a classroom setting. These videos are step-by-step screen capture movies of carefully designed projects to help you learn to use MODO for a specific industry or for specific result. Relevant content is included. It's like having a MODO instructor helping you achieve the results you want.
Rendering in MODO: Animations is the third in a series of courses looking in detail at the high performance rendering capabilities found in MODO 801. This tutorial covers how to solve common technical problems encountered when rendering animated projects.
This intermediate-level project-based tutorial is great for users interested in an introduction to using animated deformers, and a more advanced run-through of particle setups.
This training covers basic package modeling using anything but basic techniques, offering a great introduction to MODO's powerful workflow for Product Visualization.
In this project-based training series you will be introduced to MODO's toolset and workflow while helping you understand how to think creatively while working in MODO, rather than just showing you.
Rendering in MODO: Studio Shots is the second in a series of courses looking in detail at the high performance rendering capabilities found in MODO 601.
The interior rendering tutorial takes a closer look at MODO's render engine. This tutorial will serve as a useful general foundation for rendering in MODO and help specialists who deal with architectural interiors.
In this tutorial we give you the opportunity to take a project from start to completion in MODO 601. In the process you'll get a flavor for the options available to you, and we'll explore many of the new features in our latest release, including numerous re-topology tools as well as rigging and hard and soft body simulation features.
The Texture Painting Tutorial shows you how to use the painting tools in MODO 601 to create photorealistic textures in MODO from scratch. The instructor, Richard Yot, helps you master the use of MODO's painting engine by leading you through three detailed step-by-step projects. These three projects detail techniques for creating custom hand-painted textures that give photorealistic results.
Discover concepts and techniques essential to rigging models in MODO 501. Rich Hurrey takes you from interface and tool basics to the advanced skills necessary to deliver production ready assets. 26+ hours of keyword searchable videos with chapter markers, cross-referenced links, scene files and extensive FAQs are included. Not simply a rigging video tutorial, this is truly an entire master class course that is sure to give MODO users new insight into how MODO works.
We love spaceships! You could argue that CGI was invented to make spaceships, but whether you believe this or not there's no denying that CG spacecraft have been the stars in many iconic productions, from battle sequences in Babylon5 to opening shots of Star Wars Episode 3 and more recently Avatar. For many CG artists, these epic scenes really get the blood racing. In this MODO modeling tutorial, Andy Brown pays tribute to the CG spaceship and has some fun while creating a very special vehicle.
This new series of video tutorials by master MODO modeler Adam O'Hern is ideal for designers or anyone interested in hard-surface modeling techniques in MODO 501. It starts at the very beginning, covering everything from the overall MODO user interface to the most commonly-used tools and techniques for hard-surface modeling and rendering in MODO. A rapid prototype of the glasses are produced as part of the tutorial.
Modeling "soft goods" is a key skill for product design visualization. Industrial Designer Adam O'Hern shows you how to create a complex model of a backpack, including all the interesting details, like cords and stitching in our newest MODO Training Video. The methods demonstrated by Adam are applicable to a wide range of textile-oriented designs, including handbags, gloves, flexible athletic gear and soft recreation equipment.
In this MODO video tutorial, The Foundry's own Andy Brown demonstrates how to use MODO to model a human eye and the surrounding facial structures. This area of the human face is complex, being the confluence of many curved surfaces flowing into each other, and re-creating it is an opportunity to learn new MODO skills. Andy demonstrates key aspects of using MODO, from polygon modeling, UV'ing and hair to sculpting, painting and rendering.
Learn how to model hard surface models with multiple, interlocking parts. We start by exploring efficient ways of creating initial stand-in geometry, which will not only be an invaluable tool for testing the design of the object, but will also act as a starting point for the final model and other people in the production pipeline. We then explore the decision making processes involved in tool section and workflow as we construct part of a "mech" using Subdivision surfaces. We then use basic animation rigging in MODO to make sure the model has adequate clearances for someone else to animate.
Learn the power of the Shader Tree in MODO in this three part video tutorial series. Working with supplied models and images, this Video Tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the thought processes and mechanics of increasing the visual sophistication of three different renderings that make extensive use of the Shader Tree. By watching and listening to an expert, you will get the most out of the Shader Tree – each of the three supplied videos will deepen your knowledge of this critical part of MODO.
Our Architectural Interior Lighting video explains detailed techniques for creating compelling day and night shots of a contemporary interior living space using MODO. The goal is for you to gain enhanced understanding and control over how interior surfaces appear, how to light them effectively, and how to create final high-resolution images suitable for presentation to a client.
In our Architectural Modeling video tutorial, we look at techniques for creating an architectural model in MODO from a given set of dimensions. Our subject for the modelling exercise is a classic building; part of the Eames house situated in Los Angeles. It's the perfect subject for this tutorial as it allows us to tackle many different aspects of architectural visualisation modelling, from creating a building's skeleton right on through to interior and exterior detailing.
In this Cartoon Character Modeling and Rendering Tutorial we explore techniques relevant to the creation of any kind of bipedal character. The tutorial covers many organic subdivision surface modelling and sculpting techniques. We show how to apply UV coordinates and texture the model in order to produce finished still images of the character posed in different action positions.

Crew Cut: Family Business
After featuring The DONZ Family Crew in a recent Crew Cut edition, we came upon a couple of Crews cut from the same pin-striped cloth, including the illustrious Financed and Corrupt (FNCO). Their recruitment vid, which features The Godfather's classic theme and shows off their trademark red and black on everything from three piece suits to freshly painted Vapid Peyotes, sends a clear message to all of greater Los Santos that they are not to be crossed.
Speaking of mafiosi, the MADE OF STEEL MOS (1MOS) is all business, gravely warning "Don't mess with our money or our family". In contrast, the crimson-striped Based MOBB (MOBB) Crew appears to take a lighter approach to the whole la famiglia thing - by the looks of things on their Snapmatic page they seem to be mostly about the fun, but mess with them and you might get burned.
MOBB wear the masks of red death.
The Richkidzz (RICH) Crew are mobbing in their own unique way, rocking their signature orange getups like a modern-day GTA Online chain gang. Commissioner thaforce wrote to us with great pride in the photos they've been taking, confident they were strong enough to be featured here in the Crew Cut. Feel your Crew should be represented? Give us a shout and convince us why at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Blood orange. The Richkidzz at various stages.
Most Crews have at least that one member with an itchy iFruit finger, eagerly out to capture every mission and ill moment to post to Snapmatic and/or Instagram. The Pack of parasites (1124) Crew have quite the active leader and lensman in 3rdeyeopen47, whose Instagram is solely dedicated to Crew drift action.
The Grave Reapers MC (GRMC) Crew, known for pushing iron horses above and beyond, have been taking the same approach with their own Instagram feed as seen in some selections below:
Commissioner TDSpiral of The Crystal Moth (MOTH) Crew released on deviantART this impressive GTA-artwork-style original illo in honor of his squad.
Crews have been out in full force at the first couple of GTA Online Social Club Event weekends - check out some party photos snapped during the #VespucciBeachParty and the recent Social Club #CreatorWeekend Event.
Vespucci Beach Partygoers. From left: The Asylum MC (SYLM) Crew a rockin on top of the new Paradise van; the Public Enemy GALICIA (PEGA) Crew salute with panache; and the SN1-SN26 (SN26) Crew are the most frightening thing to happen to the conga line since Buster Poindexter.
Crews styling during the most recent Social Club Event. From left: Joe_Dirt_Yall captured some of his Reapers - LosSantos (ROLS) Crew having a blast; GTA Paris (7593) Crew Leader sebbob93's usual unobstructed city view out of his apartment window just got blocked by one of his Crew-mates hoisting a Canis Bodhi with a Cargobob; mathduf27 and a couple other members of the Saguenay (SAGS) Crew of Quebec in festive red and green duds.
The Social Club Crew community has been on a hot streak with stellar videos as of late. The GamerFuzion (GMRF) Crew captured their very first time in Survival mode. If you have yet to test the waves, this run through at the Railyard is a nice introduction. For even more guidance, look to HikeTheGamer and his group of compatriots the LANDED IT (HIKE) Crew below for a fun capture of an epic live-stream session they had filled with custom car flexing and wanton destruction.

One Dubuque third grader is making national news with a video that has gone viral in less than three days.
Nine-year-old Mason Kunkel's Dubuque Youth Sports Association basketball league game on Saturday, Feb. 9 started off like any other basketball game.
"We played good," Mason said at his Dubuque home Tuesday. "Other people made some shots. I made some shots."
However, things heated up when the game went into overtime. With the score tied at 24-24 and two seconds left on the clock, a teammate passed Mason the ball.
"I knew that there was two seconds left so I had to turn around and throw a shot up quick," Mason said.
What happened next is the stuff of legends and viral videos. From halfway down the court, Mason whipped the ball toward the basket -- and made it.
"I didn't know I made it until everybody started cheering," he said.
Mason's dad Gary Kunkel watched the winning shot.
"I was doing score keeping there in the middle of the court there, so I got a good view of it," he said. "As soon as it left his hand, I thought, 'This shot looks pretty good.'"
The video of the Feb. 9 game didn't go online until late this past Saturday night. Kunkel said the family joked about it ending up on ESPN's SportsCenter. How prophetic those words turned out to be. Soon after it went up, the clip went viral. As of Tuesday night, it had more than 135,000 views.
"I have heard from friends in Colorado, Florida, California, all over," Kunkel said. "They've been calling and said that they've seen the video online."
By Tuesday morning, Mason's buzzer-beater fell fifth in ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays.
"He's a very humble kid," Kunkel said. "Just even watching it on SportsCenter and stuff, it's kind of like, 'Oh, that's neat,' but nothing going to his head."
As far as advice for other young basketball players, Mason has this to say: "Always try your hardest and never give up."
Take it from the boy who fired the shot seen 'round the world.
"It's just been incredible," Kunkel said. "It's crazy getting calls and e-mails from ABC and NBC and ESPN. All the news outlets. USA Today."
Mason attends third grade at Kennedy Elementary School. In addition to basketball, he also plays baseball and football. Mason has three older sisters.

Matching Gifts Program
Many companies and businesses choose to "match" the contribution of their employees to nonprofit organizations and will match your gift to an equal dollar amount. Some firms actually will match the gift to three times the value.
Most companies with a matching gift program will have guidelines and forms to be followed. Typically, there is a human relations department or business office that works with employees in preparing the proper documentation. Donors often can include retired employees, spouses, or widowed employees as well as currently employed personnel.
To find out if your company will match your gift, contact your human resources office. A list of North Carolina companies (PDF format) that match gifts is also available.
As an employee of a firm without a matching gift program, you may want to see if one can be established as a way of demonstrating the commitment of that business to charitable organizations.

Suns acquire Marcus Morris for 2nd round pick
Originally published: Feb 20, 2013 - 8:05 pm
As first reported by Yahoo's Adrian Wjnarowski, the team has sent its 2013 second-round draft pick to Houston in exchange for forward Marcus Morris.
Morris, who is the twin brother of Suns forward Markieff, is averaging 8.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game for the Rockets. A 6-foot-9, 235 pound forward, he was selected one spot behind Markieff in the 2011 NBA Draft at 14.
"We have been intrigued for quite some time about the potential synergy from having both of the Morris twins on our team," Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby said in a press release. "So we are excited to have the opportunity to welcome Marcus to the Suns."
He's not the only one who's excited.
"I shedded a tear or two," Morris told CSNHouston.com after finding out that he'd be reuniting with his brother in Phoenix. "I'm just happy to be back with my brother, get a chance to reunite and get going."
Morris played three seasons at Kansas, and averaged 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a junior before declaring for the NBA Draft.

Science teachers are in high demand as are teachers who can meet students where they are academically.
This program is a five-year plan for earning the Middle level: Science Concentration teacher certification as well as K-8 Special Education. Candidates who complete all program requirements earn both a B.S. Ed. and a M. Ed. Information about admission to graduate school for the final year of this program may be found by visiting Graduate Studies.
The first four years engages the students in the Middle level: Science program with foundation Special Education courses. The last three semesters, the program shifts to graduate level study in Special Education.
Teacher candidates in this program are prepared to teach regular and special needs students all subjects in Grades 4-6 as well as Science Grades 4-8. Graduates also are certified to teach special needs students K-4.
Clarion University Teacher Education faculty continually update their coursework and field experience assignments to reflect the changing school environments as well as Pennsylvania and National Academic Standards for learning and teaching. Education Department faculty are all certified teachers and average over 15 years of K-12 classroom experience.
While a few courses in undergraduate education programs may be offered online, the majority of the program is on campus in highly interactive face-to-face instruction. Field experiences in schools are integrated during all four years of the program, with larger blocks of time spent in Grades 4-8 school settings during the junior, senior and last graduate years. More information about field experiences, required certification tests and clearances as well as student teaching may be found by visiting the Office of Field Services.

Some Tennessee Valley kids celebrated a once-in-a lifetime trip into the world of space.
Thursday, 50 students from Chaffee Elementary school graduated from Space Camp.
"It means so much to them. They have learned so much. I've talked to the teachers and the students. The science, the technology that they can implement in the classroom immediately, it's been amazing," said principal Sanchella Graham.
The Huntsville Elks Lodge paid for the kids trips through a special fund created after former Elks Lodge leader, Elmer Hargis, died in 2010. Normally a session of Space Camp for one student would cost almost $780.

Hi there,
Composition -> Add to render queue -> Click on the "Output module" -> In format choose Quicktime Movie -> Click on the format options (pop up will open) -> and in compression type choose h.264!
If it not helps and shows error then you should use the format box on top in the LOSSLESS BOX and select H264 from there. Then you will get the H264 options window.
I hope it helped.

LEESVILLE, La. (KALB News Channel 5) – A Leesville man has been charged with domestic abuse.
According to Leesville police, Terrance Reynolds, 27, was arrested Oct. 29, after he was allegedly involved in a physical domestic altercation with a victim.
Reynolds was taken to the Leesville City Jail. His official charge is domestic abuse battery. His bond is set at $10,000.

A man believed to be behind around 100 burglaries posted bond Wednesday evening but was arrested again Thursday on more burglary charges.
According to court records, detectives linked Anthony Bonzell Johnson to several burglaries in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley using global positioning systems. Police attached tracking devices to Johnson's vehicles, which were then found to be near several crime scenes.
The Scottsdale Police Department arrested Johnson earlier this week on charges of burglary and trafficking stolen property. Johnson posted his $35,000 bond on Wednesday.
On Thursday, Paradise Valley Police re-arrested Johnson on their own burglary charges.
"He was arrested on the Scottsdale burglary charges only, initially," Paradise Valley Police Lt. Michael Cole said. "We have him identified in two burglaries in the town of Paradise Valley but he may be related to as many as 27."
Several of those burglaries police believe were committed in a neighborhood near Shea and Tatum. Sharon Gold lives in the area that fell victim to burglaries beginning last fall.
"It's amazing that all of us have alarms and they're still coming," Gold said.
Despite warnings of each home being armed with security systems, police believe Johnson could be linked to several burglaries in Gold's neighborhood. Each crime follows the same method of operation.
"A rock burglar," Gold said.
According to court documents, Johnson admitted to police that he would target "bigger homes" with glass master bedroom doors. In these records, Johnson reportedly said he worked with a crew from Las Vegas, gaining entry to the homes by throwing a rock through the glass doors then took jewelry, cash and safes.
Paradise Valley Police do not believe Johnson was working with a larger "crew" but say from the evidence collected at the scenes, it appears Johnson was working alone.
Gold's home was one of several on her street found with shattered glass and a rock inside her bedroom.
"Seeing the glass all over and the shade torn, and knowing there was somebody in there and taking things," Gold says. "It's disheartening."
Police hope these newest charges against Johnson convince a judge to set a higher bond, effectively keeping their suspect off the street.

At the behest of Stanislaus Council of Governments Board Chairman Vito Chiesa the regional transportation agency opted to support Turlock's initiative to approve a half-cent city wide road tax on the November ballot despite previous tension leading Turlock to consider abandoning support of the county's own future road tax initiative.
Students used to walking to the park after school and purchasing an ice cream from vendors on bikes - affectionately referred to as the "palatero men" in Latin culture - may have to either walk further or find a new place to buy their sweet treat as the City of Turlock is taking steps to enforce its municipal code as it relates to vendors.
Assembly Republican Leader-Elect Kristin Olsen announced that Assembly Bill 948 passed out of the Senate Appropriations Committee earlier this week. If passed, this bill will reform the 2001 Senate Bill 740, or Charter School Facility Grant Program, in order to make more schools eligible for financial support for facilities.
The first shovels of dirt were turned over Friday for the new Stanislaus County Public Safety Center.
Water has long been an agricultural and political issue in California but this week state Republicans and Democrats came together to craft a bipartisan water bond that will allocate $7.545 billion to protecting and conserving state water resources.
The ongoing drought in California that is the third worst in the state's history shows no signs of letting up and has prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to propose a $6 billion water bond as part of the state's Water Action Plan.
Locals driving around Turlock have likely noticed the extensive roadwork being conducted across town as the City aims to near completion on several ongoing projects prior to the first day of school this month. On Tuesday Director of Development Services Mike Pitcock will provide the Turlock City Council a full rundown on four projects that are currently being completed or soon to begin across town.
Local Verizon Wireless network phone users will be experiencing better reception in upcoming months as the City of Turlock Planning Commission has granted the telecommunications company a conditional use permit to install an 80-foot tower in the Turlock Industrial Regional Park.
Poultry companies will now have to take further measures to prevent the spread of foodbourne illnesses, following the announcement of new requirements by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Most locals are familiar with the ragged condition of Turlock roads characterized by cracked pavement and potholes in many areas, but there is now an official committee making a concerted effort to make better roads a reality in the community by spearheading the passing of the half cent road tax on the November ballot.
After seven months of ongoing discussions that left many Denair residents at odds with the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors, the Denair community is one step closer to playing host to a Dollar General.
While downtown Turlock prepares to play host to a McDonald's restaurant in the future, the surrounding area will also be spruced up through an agreement with the City of Turlock and the hamburger franchise owner.
Precisely one week after the Turlock Irrigation District's weekly meeting that left the City of Turlock and the District at odds over the use of local water, the TID Board of Directors made their way to the City's Water Quality Control Facility to take a firsthand look at how local sewer water is treated to become irrigation water.
Water resources and the best way to manage them brought out the most impassioned responses from local State Assembly and Senate candidates at a debate held at California State University, Stanislaus on Wednesday.
Former Turlock City Councilman Kurt Vander Weide and current councilwoman Amy Bublak will have to pay the fines imposed on them by a state political watchdog agency for violations that in Vander Weide's case included the infamous 2008 robocalls.
Three groundwater regulation bills passed by the California Legislature are predicted to have a number of consequences for family farmers, ranchers, and other landowners and their passage provoked strong opposition from both Democrat and Republican legislators representing the Central Valley.
The Turlock Police Department welcomed a new officer Tuesday morning and introduced three new recruits headed to the police academy as the department works to increase the ranks after being chided by the grand jury for staff shortages.
Starting Sept. 2, dairy farmers will be able to enroll in the Margin Protection Program, a voluntary insurance policy program that will provide assistance to members in the event that they encounter unforeseen economic challenges.
As election season heats up Turlock's mayoral and city council candidates are becoming increasingly well versed in the nuances of Turlock's city government and all of its moving parts.
A third Taco Bell will soon be calling Turlock home as the Turlock City Council on Tuesday denied local citizens' appeal to reject the fast food franchise's minor discretionary permit location.
While Stanislaus County has developed multiple strategies to resourcefully combat issues caused by the ongoing drought in the state of California, the Board of Supervisors took one step further on Tuesday by unanimously voting to adopt a financial assistance pilot program for a select group of local water well users.
Congressman Jeff Denham spoke with locals about veterans affairs on Monday, but he didn't attend an event or host a public meeting - he led a telephone-townhall.
Locals protesting the establishment of a new Taco Bell in Turlock will meet before the City Council on Tuesday as the members will determine if the process to establish the fast food chain near Pitman High School will continue.

(FOX 11 / The India Times) In India...an amazing rescue of a little baby elephant. Well, little is a relative term. This is a wild elephant calf that got stuck in a well on a rubber plantation.
The India Times reports at crews came in to rescue it, as a crowd gathered to watch. They tranquilized it, and then used a crane to bring it up.
Veterinarians say the calf was injured, but they hope it will recover.

I had come down to the Florida Keys to catch Spanish mackerel in the shallow western fringes of Florida Bay. But that's not quite how it went down on that warm February day.
Instead, I found myself more than 30 miles farther west in water deeper than planned, in the open Gulf of Mexico. Rather than casting small lures on ultralight gear to mackerel, I fumbled with the bail of a medium spinner trying desperately to toss out a large Storm WildEye swimbait amidst cries of, "Look at that cobia!"
"Right here, behind the boat."
"No, there are three of 'em!"
"Quick, get a pilchard out there!"
The plastic bait hit the water about five feet from the starboard gunwale - barely enough space to allow the lure to generate a bit of action. But little matter: The first of the trio of cobes darted up and, in a motion too quick to follow, the fish sucked in the bait even as it started sprinting away from the boat. Within moments, my reel was one of three singing a cobia song.

Dr. Pal's epidemiology-based cancer genetics research has two foci: identification of individuals with genetic and environmental risk factors that place them at increased risk of developing cancer, and development of strategies to reduce this risk. Her currently active research includes studies on ovarian cancer and mismatch repair deficiency and on genetic and hormonal risk factors for breast cancer in African American women. One of the best defined molecular pathways involved in both inherited and sporadic cancer pathogenesis involves the mismatch repair (MMR) pathway, which leads to microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI may result from both genetic (i.e.: germline mutations in the MMR genes, including MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6) and epigenetic (i.e.: MLH1 promoter hypermethylation) mechanisms. The purpose of the 'Ovarian Cancer and Mismatch Repair Deficiency' study is to quantify the proportion of ovarian tumors due to the mismatch repair genes and to characterize the tumors in this group. Our ability to classify ovarian cancers by their genetic basis offers promise for improvements in cancer prevention and screening of high risk women, in basing diagnosis and prognosis on molecular markers, and in development of individualized treatments. This study will include 2200 population-based cases of incident epithelial ovarian cancers based at the Moffitt Cancer Center, Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the University of Toronto. Paraffin-embedded tumor samples will be analyzed from all subjects with incident ovarian cancers to perform MSI testing and investigate MMR gene protein expression. In those samples with MSI-H status or with loss of expression of MMR gene proteins, epigenetic (MLH1 promoter hypermethylation) and genetic (germline MMR mutations) will be investigated. Although African American women have a lower overall incidence of breast cancer than Caucasian women, the incidence of early-onset breast cancer is actually higher in African Americans. There is strong evidence that breast cancer in premenopausal women has a significant genetic component. In some cases, the genetic component may be attributable to high-penetrance genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2; in others, to lower penetrance genes. Most of the low-penetrance genes thus far implicated in increased breast cancer risk are involved in hormone metabolism. Dr. Pal is investigating the contribution of high-penetrance BRCA1/BRCA2 genes in young African American breast cancer patients with a personal or family history suggestive of hereditary predisposition. This study will improve our understanding of inherited breast cancer in young African American women.

A northwest Indiana man was arrested after allegedly leading police on a chase from Indiana to the South Chicago neighborhood in a stolen ambulance Tuesday afternoon.
Edwin Herrera, 34, of Gary was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and ordered held on a $250,000 bond Wednesday by Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr., according to a spokesperson for the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
Lake County (Ind.) Sheriff's officers responded just after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday to a report of an ambulance stolen near West Ridge Road and Cline Avenue in Highland, Ind., the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Authorities used GPS to track the ambulance, which is registered to Prompt Ambulance of Highland, the statement said.
Police spotted the ambulance near Indianapolis Boulevard and Chicago Avenue, and Chicago Police joined the chase as it entered Illinois.
The ambulance eventually turned and entered a grassy field in the 9000 block of South Mackinaw Street, where the driver was arrested without incident, police said. He was the only person in the ambulance.
Officials with the ambulance company later arrived to take back the vehicle.
Additional charges are pending against Herrera in Lake County, the statement said. He is next scheduled to appear in court in Cook County in Branch 38 on March 25.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

---- — Bringing counselor into schools a good idea
I was glad to read in the Pharos-Tribune on Aug. 18, 2013, where Four County Counseling Center will be transferring a therapist to the Logansport Community School Corp. They will be working with students with emotional and behavior problems.
Mental illness may still be somewhat of a stigma albeit it should not be. I believe that some children/teenagers do not receive treatment needed during their youth. This often leads to more severe psychiatric behaviors in their young adult years.
I congratulate the key players in our community for integrating and working together for mental health treatment which will benefit our children. Saving one student from a devastating future experience is worth it!

Still waiting for answersto the same questions
We have paid Pyrolyzer supporters to visit Materials Recovery Facilities and a Pyrolyzation pilot plant in Germany and Canada. The report seems to be, "It works."
Of course it "works." That is not the question.
Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) have been around for years.
As for pyrolyzation, you can build a pyrolyzer in a 55-gallon drum and your science project will pyrolyze trash (or tires, wood or plastic) and make syngas, and you can combust the syngas to generate electricity.
But your science project doesn't answer the question: Can pyrolysis make clean, cheap, reliable electricity?
The Germans tried to answer this question. At least as early as the 1920s the Batelle Institute in Frankfurt tried to make pyrolysis profitable, but failed.
Monsanto built a huge 1,000 tons-per-day pyrolyzation plant in Baltimore in the early 1970s. It failed to reach design capacity and it never ran continuously. Monsanto closed it in 1977.
Covanta, the largest waste incineration company in the U.S., considered pyrolyzation but decided it was not profitable.
Pyrolyzer LLC's proposal to Logansport is to process 6,000 tons-per-day of trash and/or tires to generate 150 Megawatts of electricity! What experience can Pyrolyzer offer to back up this gigantic proposal? Pyrolyzer LLC and its inventor-partner, KUG, don't offer any independent tests of continuous emissions, or any evidence of ever producing electricity, nor do they have a unit that has run longer than 15 days.
While our consultants are preparing contracts for Loganport to sign, maybe it would be a good idea to visit successful pyrolyzers that are similar in fuel, volume, and electrical output to the one that Pyrolyzer LLC proposes to build for Logansport. The only problem is that no such facility exists.
And who is the pyrolyzation expert on these fact-finding trips for Logansport? Maybe Bradley Angel should go. At the "World's Largest Incinerator Coming to Logansport?" event (available on youtube.com, part 7), Bradley described touring a trash gasification/electricity facility in Japan, where he could see that the operator's claims were untrue. At the end of the tour, the three plant managers apologized for making false claims. Someone who knows what to look for might be a valuable person to invite on a fact-finding trip.
Since January, Logansport citizens have been asking for proof that Pyrolyzer LLC can produce clean, cheap, reliable electricity. Even after these recent field trips, we still do not have the answer.

Should have seentrail user fee coming
I guess people should have thought of things like this beforehand. Times are tough right now and if you impose a user fee [on recreational trails], you may not have people using the trails because they can't pay.
It's kinda funny how [Rep. Bill] Friend is looking to start this user fee when there are far worse things to consider, like people losing jobs. I guess if you lose your job, you can go walk on a trail.
Wonder if the trails will be fenced off and gated with money and card machines at the entrance gates. Just hope they take food stamps.

DALLAS — With polls opening Tuesday morning in the red-hot Republican runoff for U.S. Senate, momentum — or the perception of momentum — has become critical for the campaigns of Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz.
The campaigns are touting separate polls with opposing results to claim their candidate is ahead charging into the runoff.
The Dewhurst campaign released more details Monday afternoon of an internal campaign poll by Texas pollster Baselice & Associates that has done extensive surveying for Gov. Rick Perry and other statewide candidates of GOP voters.
Not surprisingly, the Baselice poll of 704 likely Republican primary voters interviewed July 26-29 found Dewhurst leading Cruz 48 percent to 44 percent.
That sharply contrasts with an independent poll by Public Policy Polling (PPP) released Sunday night, which showed Cruz ahead 52 percent to 42 percent.
PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews, and some pollsters believe that methodology is not as accurate as live, person-to-person interviews.
Internal campaign polls are viewed skeptically, considering who pays for them.
In a memo to Texas reporters, Dewhurst advisors Dave Carney and Jim Bognet implied the Baselice survey is more credible, although they did not release detailed cross tabs of the entire survey.
"We thought you may be interested in taking a look at the only Texas poll fresh from the field last night, performed with live operators and by Baselice & Associates, which has more experience surveying Texas Republicans than any pollster in the country," the memo said.
Visiting a campaign call center in Dallas late Monday with allies Gov. Rick Perry and former primary foes Tom Leppert and Craig James, Dewhurst claimed his poll is accurate, "I am absolutely confident we win tomorrow."
But Perry sounded a more cautious tone, "We know it's going to be a close race, there's every indication it's a close race."
The Dewhurst camp cites strong support from senior voters as a critical factor Tuesday, with Dewhurst ahead among seniors 55 percent to 38 percent.
Dewhurst, Perry, Leppert and James voters urging them to back the Lieutenant Governor since if he loses they'll all be politically dialing 911 seeking cover from powerful tea party forces.
Although Leppert and James criticized Cruz and Dewhurst in the primary they target only Cruz now for being a lawyer.
James, nodding to Dewhurst, said, "We need someone with business experience and background that you have."
And Leppert weighed in, "You've got someone who's had to deal with those issues not from making speeches from a theoretical standpoint but a very practical standpoint of what it means to create jobs."
Regardless of the polls, Cruz is riding a surge that solidified just before the May 29 primary, which launched him into the runoff, and that has continued through three televised debates since then. He's been bolstered by millions in TV ads spent by his campaign and super PACs airing supportive ads for him.
Even according to Dewhurst's own poll, the finish will be close — likely in the single digits with many unknown variables remaining: How large will election day turnout be? And how many voters who didn't cast a ballot at all in May will be drawn to vote in the bitter but exciting race?
Cruz conducted several radio interviews Monday, while Dewhurst campaigned in Austin, San Antonio and Dallas, where he was joined by Perry and former primary foes Tom Leppert and Craig James.
Dewhurst and Cruz both scheduled Houston campaign stops on Tuesday, and then will wait for results after the polls close at 7 p.m.
That's when we'll find out which pollster accurately forecast the outcome.

PROPOSALS on the role of relatives under a new opt-out organ donation law for Wales are being reconsidered by health minister Lesley Griffiths.
The Human Transplantation (Wales) Bill proposes that if a potential donor has not opted out before they die, their next of kin can tell doctors about the deceased person's wishes.
The Welsh Government proposes to create an unranked list of relatives and friends who would have the right to a role in decisions about whether or not organs can be donated.
But some AMs believe more weight should be given to the views of close relatives.
Questioned by AMs about family and friend involvement in organ donation decision as a result of the proposed law change, health minister Lesley Griffiths should she would look at potential problems an unranked list might create.
A ranked list of family members is considered a better way forward by some experts, as there are fears that if any relative or friend can object, the result may be fewer rather than more organ donations.

Mervyn James says...
Lots have been made of the opt in, next to nothing about an effective opt OUT. I opted out years ago, now that may simply be ignored ? We are being bombarded with sad cases in media, it is all designed to make the opt out people feel guilty. A form of moral blackmail, we should not have to justify an outright refusal. Our bodies not anyone else's.
Most organs will go OUTSIDE Wales, maybe abroad and to ethnic minorities who appear to be the most need sector, and their rights NOT to donate are protected. Are Welsh people to be 'harvested' for areas that are NOT forced to opt in ? this seems totally unfair.

I had this on tap at Tap Werks Ale House. I was glad to see them carrying this local product. It was served in a standard pint glass.
The beer is a hazy orange with an off-white head.
It had a fresh aroma of grains and a bit of spice.
It is very smooth with low carbonation. It has a taste of malts, caramel and light hopping. Sweet but not unbalanced. It was a tad of mineral taste late.
I thought this was an easy drinker and it went very well with my food.

Served in a standard pint glass.
Slightly hazy copper/amber colored brew with 1 finger of white head that recedes to a ring around the edges of the glass.
The aroma is toasty and bready Munich-type malts with a touch of hop spice.
The taste is subtle spicy noble-type hops and lightly sweet caramel malt on top of a solid toasty Munich/Vienna malt base.
Medium bodied and lightly carbonated, it sits a little heavy in the mouth. Well-balanced and easy to drink like this style should be. A solid offering from Coop.
I revisited this beer again in 2010 and found it to be on the sweet side, even for the style. Still pleasant, but either a drier finish or more hop bitterness would have made it better in my opinion. The caramel character seemed more pronounced at the expense of the warm toastiness I prefer in this style. It got a little tiresome and cloying after a half a pint.

Aya Radio
A grunge darling of J-rock, Aya entered the field after the genre died in America along with Kurt Cobain, but still managed to make a stir on the Japanese scene and work with prime American grunge rockers, including members of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and, yes, Nirvana. This career trajectory obviously has to do with the pent-up energy Aya accumulated during her childhood years spent in a town of 2,000 on the northern island of Hokkaido. She first heard electric guitar at a Ventures show in primary school; it was instant conversion. Soon Aya began playing in a local girl band playing punk covers, but that wasn't enough for her, and, dropping out of school at 15, she took to the road, ending up in Tokyo as a bar singer and already a faithful Nirvana devotee. Her first chance at success came after she won a pop vocal contest, but the story was cut short by the death of her songwriter; however, that made Aya work on her own material, which she honed by playing American military bases and Shibuya streets; several demos later, she landed a deal with BMG Japan. Given her style, it came as no surprise that she worked on her first professional record in Seattle's Studio X, where she gathered a dream lineup of Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam), John McBain (Monster Magnet), and Glenn Slater (Walkabouts); for a producer, she landed Adam Kasper, who worked with Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters.
The debut single "Hands" (the first song she ever wrote) came out in 2001, followed that same year by "Crazy Mermaid," and then in 2002 her first full-length arrived: Senjou No Hana had been recorded in Seattle as well, with the same musicians along with Krist Novoselic of Nirvana. The release received good press in Japan as well as Germany, and had Aya on the road, where she did a solo tour and scored a stint on Summer Sonic, one of Japan's biggest fests, as well as the opening slot for the 50,000-strong stadium gig of Japanese rock legend Eikichi Yazawa. Her next record, the Kinjirareta Uta EP, was delivered in 2003 and done without any American help, as Aya attempted to show that she could stand on her own. It worked out -- the streamlined rock sound of Kinjirareta Uta was well received by critics, and the supporting club tour was sold out. After that Aya proceeded to record the epic Baghdad Sky, arguably her magnum opus, which came out in Japan and Germany in 2004, again to good reviews; Aya spent 2005 promoting it, and in 2006 she provided the song "Over Night" for the anime series Le Chevalier d'Eon. Then, however, she took a hiatus. ~ Alexey Eremenko, Rovi

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - A public safety expert called by the defense says George Zimmerman's physical capabilities were inferior to those of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Former police officer Dennis Root was called as a witness Wednesday by defense attorneys.
Root testified that Martin was in better physical shape than Zimmerman, and that the neighborhood watch volunteer wasn't any athlete.
Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming he fatally shot Martin in self-defense during a struggle.
Judge rules against Zimmerman on evidence
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida judge has ruled that Trayvon Martin's cellphone texts on fighting and a defense animation depicting the fight between Martin and George Zimmerman won't be introduced as evidence at Zimmerman's trial.
Judge Debra Nelson made her ruling Wednesday, a day after she heard arguments on the matter.
The judge says the animation can't be introduced as evidence that can be reviewed by jurors during their deliberations but defense attorneys may be able to use it during closing arguments.
The judge says she agrees with prosecutors' objections to introducing the 17-year-old's text messages.
Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, is charged with second-degree murder for shooting and killing Martin during a fight in Zimmerman's neighborhood. He's pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense.

thoughts on sean so far. i'm impressed. i hate when the guys have these awful homogenous quotes that get repeated time and time and time again. i was afraid we were heading into brad womack's "please" territory (remember??) when sean said "you look amazing" to every girl who got out of the limo. i mean, i don't expect that he won't tell them they look good but, i don't know, something else?!? thesaurus, sean! anyway, i have liked him quite a bit so far, but when he pretty much called kacie b. out for meddling with this desiree and what's-her-name nonsense i was like YES. FINALLY. a bachelor guy who actually has an opinion and is not afraid to voice it.
the girls.
my favorite by far. she's taking it seriously but not so seriously that she's crying through every interview and gnashing her teeth about him being stolen from her or kissing another girl. she should win. alright, it's a little early to be saying that but... i like her a lot. she seems fun and cool. and thus far she hasn't said crap about the other girls and the girls that stay quiet on that subject always end up my favorites.
i don't know about you girl. i agreed with sean... she seemed super charming, great smile, etc. straight out of the limo. but since... meh.
i like her. looks like there'll be some drama between her and an ex or current boyfriend later on?! sean's crazy about her. she does seem cool but, sorry, lesley still has my vote.
soooo brooding and then all, "i bring light wherever i go!" in her conversation with sean. weirdo. got to go.
i like her for the most part. i don't like how she said to tierra, "you got the first rose not the first impression rose." dumb. accept it. tierra pretty much scored the rose of the night. give credit where credit is due. anyway, beyond that, she seems sweet. was totally cool about sharing her date with those two best friends at six flags and just seems nice overall.
kacie b.!
annoying. i'm just not a huge kacie b. fan. i wasn't in ben's season either. i don't know what it is. she's just a hot mess. i think she's like too serious? not fun? what is it? and holy make up. i want to scrub her down.
she seemed nice buuuut i'm not sorry to see her go. too much crying over the volleyball loss and the whole "ford model! huge teethy grin!" BOOM, you've been let go.
she seems down to earth and cool. i like her and i like that she asked him about dating different races. it was a good question and i think he handled it well too.
sweetheart. i like her a lot. her zipline story was sad too.
tone down the lipgloss.
oh, and side note. lesley and sean may have won the longest kiss on screen but steve and i totally win for longest kiss off screen. boom.
alright, who are your favorites?

Tomlinson family: 'The damage is done'
Mr Tomlinson's widow Julia said:
We aren't surprised he has been struck off. It is more of a surprise that he was able to work as a pathologist for so long and that he was selected to do the post-mortem on Ian.
We are pleased that he will not be able to put any more families through the ordeal he caused us, but the damage he has done can't now be undone.

out of 10
AGMATINE SULFATE AgmaMax® We only use the brand name AgmaMax® because our in-house testing showed that the Agmatine in AgmaMax blew other less expensive brands away as far as purity and deliverability. Agmatine has so many positive effects on muscle cells it's actually mind-boggling! It makes the muscle full and round because it increases the storage of muscle glycogen inside the muscles. That glycogen in turn clings on to water filling out the muscle belly. One of many reasons why athletes on Agmatine experience increased pumps and larger and fuller muscles.Agmatine enhances insulin production, which creates a better insulin response. Increased insulin response has a positive effects on body composition and musculature. Agmatine is also known for it's anti-depressant property. Research indicates that Agmatine regulates cortisol in the body. Cortisol is a hormone that the body secretes during times of extreme anxiety, stress and depression. Agmatine can alleviate stress induced by exercise opening the pathway to recovery and rebuilding. Lab studies have also shown an enhancement of production of growth hormone (GH), pituitary hormone, and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Luteinizing Hormone is an essential factor in increasing testosterone production. There is also new evidence from studies supporting that Agmatine can be a strong neuro-protector, lower blood pressure and have beneficial effects in heart tissue.Agmatine effectively regulates Nitric Oxide (NO) through a variety of intricate mechanisms. It stimulates some types of Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) while hindering others. This is a "doubling" effect on NO production that other similar compounds do not possess and alone is well worth the added expense of using a superior ingredient such as AgmaMax® Agmatine Sulfate.BETA-ALANINE CarnoSyn® Again Alpha Pro Nutrition® doesn't skimp on quality utilizing only CarnoSyn® as it's source for Beta-Alanine. Beta-Alanine has quickly become an essential part for any supplement regimen in athletes and rightly so. Myriads of scientific tests prove it's efficacy in increasing working capacity in skeletal muscle tissue, decreasing muscle acidosis, improving endurance, delaying fatigue and improving overall muscle strength and power.All these studies make CarnoSyn® a "no brainer" when trying to reach that ultimate state of preparedness before we tear up the weights! It increases muscle mass and improves muscle endurance along with the ability to increase Carnosine levels which in turn buffers fatigue and helps impede exhaustion. TRI CREATINE MALATE and CREATINE PYRUVATE Beyond just regular creatine. Way beyond! Alpha Pro Nutrition® chose to create this particular balance of creatines because the average creatine monohydrate on the market is often not well tolerated by individuals even with slight gastrointestinal issues and water retention problems. Retaining water inside your muscle is extremely beneficial to strength athletes and especially bodybuilders for obvious reasons. Ingesting an inexpensive and impure creatine product that causes an overall "creatine bloat" under the skin and especially in the abdomen is certainly not! Studies on Creatine Pyruvate in particular show that with an improved absorption rate, compared to creatine monohydrate alone, it could eliminate the need for high-dosing or "creatine loading". The last thing you want is a waterlogged physique due to creatine intake. The water retention properties have been designed to stay within the muscle and not spill over to all the tissues and subcutaneously. The synergy between the amounts of Tri-Creatine Malate, Creatine Pyruvate and Agmatine Sulfate are a key factor in UPLOAD's ability to push nutrient rich blood inside the working muscle and keep it there for the longest period of time possible.N-ACETYL L-TYROSINE Another key element in the UPLOAD formula that has it's owns specific task to carry out. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine enhances mood and creates an overall sense of wellbeing. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is a natural amino acid that is actually made from phenyl ethylamine and is converted into dopamine and norepinephrine. These are extremely powerful brain chemicals. Once broken down into phenylalanine it increases mental alertness, focus and concentration. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is very fast acting and this could be why several athletes are adamant about how they feel the effect of UPLOAD quickly. The blood flow properties of the other UPLOAD elements help with the transport of this amazing amino acid which bring so many other beneficial effects. It has been linked to memory improvement, mood elevation and improved circulation in numerous tests. TAURINE This amazing amino acid essential to cardiovascular function and protein synthesis is included in high amounts in the UPLOAD formula because of a crucial role it plays during intense muscular contraction: Taurine keeps potassium and magnesium inside the cell, while keeping excessive sodium out. Any competitive bodybuilder or physique athlete will understand the importance of this. Less water outside the muscle cell may prevent muscular definition from being opaqued by excess water retention in the one place you do NOT want it. Inside the muscle cell, hydrating it and keeping it healthy and fully functional is where you DO want it. This works perfectly in balance with UPLOAD's Agmatine Sulfate and Beta Alanine combination to create muscle fullness without ruining your definition. RHODIOLA The "Grand Father" of all adaptogens, as it is called, has been used since antiquity for it's potent beneficial effects on stamina, strength and energy production but more importantly for the serious weight trainer it aids in quicker recuperation and has the added benefit of being a nootropic. Natural nootropics increase mental drive, focus and clarity. Rhodiola is the most powerful of all natural nootropics.DENDROBIUM Known to stimulate a rapid release of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine Dendrobium is a Chinese herb that has cognitive effects on mental acuity combined with intense focus factors. Dendrobium's uniqueness is unparalleled because it is known in the sports world as being a pre-game stimulant that does not give you the classic "crash" at the end of your workout nor does it produce bothersome jitters like so many other potent stimulants. L-GLUTAMINE Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in our muscles. 65% of muscle tissue is actually Glutamine! Essential to nitrogen retention and absorption this powerhouse should be in every pre-workout supplement worthy of it's name. Dubbed "The Anabolic Amino" for good reason UPLOAD's other key ingredients benefit from it's presence by acting as an "amino pool" where several intrinsic reactions take place inside the muscle cell giving the overall powerhouse effect! Endless studies can be found demonstrating the beneficial effects of L-Glutamine supplementation on competitive athletes. Some of the more important positive effects for us are: cellular hydration, minimization of damage to skeletal muscular cells while under intense contraction, increase in contractile strength and protein synthesis facilitation. L-Glutamine, aided by UPLOAD's other elements acts as a fuel source for working muscles and improves overall recuperation and anabolism post workout. By the time you finish your workout Glutamine is already helping you rebuild by promoting glucose uptake! CONCENTRATED COCONUT WATER POWDER The importance of minerals, especially electrolytes, cannot be overlooked when exercising. An effective natural blend of minerals essential during intense workouts has been added to UPLOAD's unique formula. With no harsh chemical taste, the power of our potent mineral blend compliments our unique flavoring system unique to UPLOAD. GUARANA SEED EXTRACT & CAFFEINE ANHYDROUS A special balance between these two tried and true stimulants add another element of effectiveness to UPLOAD's pre-workout boost. Recent studies on Caffeine Anhydrous validate it's ability to effectively and rapidly spark neurotransmitters in the brain creating a mental sharpness essential for focus and concentration. The unique properties of Guarana Seed Extract potentiate Caffeine Anhydrous' effects creating a wider neurological pathway for cognitive function and augmented physical performance. Both compounds have strong anti-oxidant effects, they increase metabolism and work in synergy as neuro-modulators and neuro-transmitters with Agmatine Sulfate.
