Just three years after his senior season at West Virginia came to an end, former Mountaineer wide receiver Wes Lyons has put pen to paper and written a book about his journey as a young athlete.
The Pursuit with Patience gives readers a look into the life of a talented kid out of North Braddock, Pa., who first fell for the game of baseball before finding himself fully immersed in football.
Lyons says his major motivation to put his story in writing is to give other athletes in the youth system who may envision a career in sports an understanding of what they could face along the way.
"Once you hit college until the pros, it's all a business," Lyons says. "People are going to get treated unfairly and a lot of stuff is going to be biased, but that's how it's going to be. People think it's all about talent, especially children. They think, 'Okay, I'm better than this guy, I'm going to play,' and that's not always the case."
Lyons delves into the aspects of his younger years that molded him into the athlete and the person who he grew to be, including outside influences and a close relationship with his family.
His father and brother flanked him through many of his achievements in school and in sports and helped to keep him focused and motivated as each new obstacle rose to block his path.
"I really want to stress education and getting a college degree, because that's something no one can take away," says Lyons. "If you get that and you play two years in the league or 10 years in the league, you'll still have that college degree. You have that no matter what happens."
Youth sports and a prep career in the Woodland Hills School District prepared Lyons for his attempt to excel at the college level and, ultimately, as a professional.
The part that will especially interest West Virginia fans begins, no surprise here, with Lyons' college recruitment.
Details of conversations with a variety of coaches at schools that visited Lyons' practices and games and invited him to their campuses give some insight into what sort of factors went led to his decision.
Recruiting is a funny part of a college coach's job that requires the prospect to trust what he is told. In Lyons' case, he says, the WVU staff made promises that it would end up breaking.
At the time, Rich Rodriguez coached the Mountaineers with quarterback Pat White and running back Steve Slaton guiding one of the nation's most prolific rushing attacks. And yet, in Pursuit, Lyons shares a conversation with WVU coaches in which he was told that if he signed with them, the offense would change to one that would "throw over fifty times a game."
"That stuff is crazy because they tell you everything you want to hear as they recruit you, whether they're lies or not, just to get that edge up on other colleges," says Lyons. "A lot of this stuff just starts going to your head and you start thinking you're better than you are as a high school athlete, not knowing that there are other athletes at the college level who are just as good as you are."
When Lyons and the other freshmen in his class arrived on campus, he recalls a meeting in which his recruiting coach, Tony Gibson, admitted to the rookies that much of what was said to get the players to sign was nothing more than just that.
Lyons admits there were times in which he would second guess his decision to play for WVU, but he stayed in Morgantown in large part because of the fans and the atmosphere that surrounded the program.
"I don't know what it is about West Virginia. It's the support system and it's something that you get connected to," says Lyons.
Throughout Pursuit, Lyons praises the people in his life who have helped him push forward. Whether it was his family, friends, fans or mentors, there is no shortage of credit passed out as an acknowledgement that he did not get to where he is today on his own.
Yet, as he discusses his pro day and the challenge of transitioning from the college game to a chance at the NFL, Lyons recalls a conversation with his agent in which he was told that the WVU staff was giving negative feedback to scouts who asked about the receivers' potential.
"You would think that the WVU staff would want their athletes in the NFL to make the university look better," Lyons writes. "However, that was not the case for these coaches."
From the point that he first worked out in front of NFL coaches to the last time he stepped on a professional field this past spring, Lyons chronicles his efforts to remain desirable in the eyes of the league's decision makers.
Continued training with his brother while the two dealt with adversity in their family life shaped the years since Lyons left college as he showcased his talents for teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New York Jets and the Houston Texans.
He returns to Morgantown often and finds that he still calls the town and its university his second home while he sets his sights on the future, which does not currently include the quest to stick with an NFL roster.
"My main goal is this book right now," he says. "I want to inspire people and to be that voice that a lot of people don't have in their lives. I'll see how it plays out with football. It's not out of the picture, but I want to see where this aspect of my life takes me and I hope I can make some difference along the way."
The Pursuit with Patience is available to order through Lyons' website, WesleyLyons.com or on Amazon.com. Lyons will be signing copies of the book at the WVU Bookstore on Dec. 1 prior to WVU's season finale against Kansas.

First, I don't think we could have had better weather - no rain , no fog and sun in every port! Since we had such great weather, my review is probably a little biased because cruising to Alaska is all about the scenery! My husband and I are in our late 20s so we knew we would be surrounded by 'old' people but we really were there to explore a beautiful state and enjoy the our surroundings. There was probably around 15-20 couples less than 30 years old so we didn't do much socializing. We were placed at a table with a mother and son and the son was going into med school so he was around our age and a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys. We aren't super outgoing anyway, but had some great dinners talking with our fellow diners.
This was my 2nd cruise to Alaska and my husband's 1st cruise period. I read the older reviews saying the ship is old and dated and it is around 13 years old, but everything was very clean and nice in my opinion. I assume all cruise ships have 'tacky' dEcor in some capacity so the age of the ship didn't bother me. It was big enough for us and had enough areas that you could easily find somewhere to sit and enjoy the scenery. We chose to save our money and went with an inside cabin on the 7th deck, towards the front of the boat. Apparently our hall lead to the officer quarters so there were numerous times we saw the captain and ship director in the hallway. We were above the theater and thought this might be a problem but since we stayed up past 10 every night anyway, we never were bothered by noise/music from the theater. I don't think we missed anything by not having a balcony since we basically just slept and showered in our room. There are so many areas to sit in (inside) that you can stay warm and look out. Maybe it would have been nice for privacy and such to have a balcony but we were glad we were able to use the saved money on excursions instead.
The food for us was very good. There was one night where we both had misses on our dinners but it wasn't like it was inedible and we just got 2 desserts to make up for it! Granted we are still young, but we've done quite a bit of traveling and eaten some really great meals and overall the Rhapsody chefs came through. The appetizers and bread were our favorites though since that's not something we usually get when we go out to eat. I absolutely love escargot and told our waiter and he brought me two! I knew we could ask for seconds or thirds but he was great to do it without me asking. Some nights we would share a third entrEe and most nights we would share a third appetizer. The desserts are small enough that you don't feel too guilty about having it after a great meal but if you really like dessert just be sure to ask for seconds.
The one thing we did pretty much stay away from was alcohol. Where ever you go, there will be someone there to ask you if you would like something to drink. We would just politely say no, or get water and they wouldn't keep bugging us. We didn't get the soft drink package either but did order 2 bottles of wine for dinner and it was nice that you could save it and take it with you or have them save it for the next night. Our 2 bottles lasted us the week but we're not heavy drinkers by any means. The beer is expensive so my husband was disappointed they didn't offer a 'beer package' but he didn't mind going a week without his usual beer with dinner. It was just an expensive that we didn't want to have. Some people go crazy and the fruity drinks did look good but we stayed away.
The entertainment was quite good and the comedians were really funny. We missed one show the first night but caught all the rest. We also liked how there were afternoon movies and one evening movie. We don't get to the movie theater often so that was a nice treat and that time we did order a drink. The Marriage and Family game show was hilarious. We didn't feel like 'auditioning' for the young married couple since you had to do a short skit and the audience cheered for the best but it was fun to watch. Another activity not to miss is the "Quest". It's for adults only and just a fun game of sorts with lots of people.
As far as onboard activities, that was one area where I had the most disappointment. Maybe because we were in the minority age group but I just didn't feel like there was anything of interest for us during our days at sea. We went to one lecture but the guy wasn't very interesting and it was like being back in college. We did participate in the speed rock wall climbing which was fun because it was mostly people our age. I was really hoping they would have a tour of the kitchen but that wasn't offered. There were several 'family friendly' events but those didn't apply to us. And it seemed like anything that we would have liked to do was on the days we were in port and already had excursions planned.
Overall I would recommend a cruise on Rhapsody. We knew going into it that we would be surrounded by older people and there wouldn't be a ton of activities geared towards us but we also knew that we were going to Alaska and it would be beautiful. We are very active so hiking in Skagway and Kayaking in Juneau were real highlights for us. Every trip can't be perfect so just take the good with the bad and enjoy what Alaska has to offer!

Drake Has the Perfect Track for Jay-Z
Drake's full-length debut Thank Me Later is not even complete yet, but Drizzy already knows which song he wants Jay-Z to appear on. Their potential collaboration, titled "Light Up," was recorded last week with Toronto production team Tone Mason and Drake's go-to guy Noah "40" Shebib.
"It's crazy. I'm really, really, really excited about it," the 23-year-old Canadian tells Rap-Up TV. "I managed to get this rap record with this crazy hook in the lane of 'Forever,' but not really. It's that type of triumphant feel though."
He also speaks about going into the studio with Kanye West over the holidays and releasing his first single at the top of 2010.

The Pride, which entered the dual meet ranked second in New England and 23rd in the country, held off a late charge to keep the Cadets upset-bid at bay.
After forfeiting the opening bout, SC quickly came back as Jesse Sgaglione and and Joe Ortiz sandwiched major decision victories around a pin from Corey Kozimor at 141 to go up 14-6. NU answered the visiting team's comeback with a pair of decisions from freshman 157-pounder Nick Smith and freshman 165-pounder Cody Gladstone to cut the lead to 14-12.
The two sides traded decisions, including a win at 174 by Devin Biscaha. Springfield led 17-15 with two matches remaining before the Pride locked up the win with a major decision at 197 pounds by Michael Case.
Springfield will now prepare for the NEWA Duals, which will be hosted in the Springfield College Field House on Sunday.

The Age of the API is upon us, presenting developers with new opportunities to generate income by linking to the data and services of others. But developers need to be careful when navigating the new API landscape.
Although the term (short for "application programming interface") has been around for decades, APIs have taken on a whole new life lately, spawning development of a wide range of multifunctional APIs and now management software companies to help businesses cope with the burgeoning wealth of available options.
[ Test your programming smarts with InfoWorld's Java IQ test. | Get InfoWorld's Enterprise Java newsletter for all the latest Java developments. | For quick, smart takes on the news you'll be talking about, check out InfoWorld TechBrief -- subscribe today. ]
APIs, in fact, are becoming a successor to SOA (service-oriented architecture), providing easier mechanisms for service access than SOA's highly technical approach, says independent consultant Kin Lane: "APIs have jumped out of the petri dish of the enterprise."
Developers leverage basic Web technologies to participate in the API bonanza, such as HTTP, REST and JSON. Node.js, the popular server-side implementation of JavaScript, also can play a role. The OAuth 2.0 protocol, meanwhile, can be used to set secure access. "There are more than 10,000 public APIs, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of private ones, too," Lane says, such as for Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, and Amazon Web Services.
Developers need to have a basic tool set for using APIs in the language of their choice, Lane advises. Those tool sets typically come with the API libraries, but there are also standard ways to consume APIs in languages such as PHP and Java. In addition, developers need to note that APIs can be withdrawn, as has occurred both at Twitter and Facebook, leaving third-party apps in the lurch.
Dealing with poor APIs
The current craze has spawned thousands of APIs, so developers need to be mindful of the varying quality of what is available, Lane says. "I see a lot of people make APIs. They think they understand APIs, but they've never really used APIs that are already in existence, so they don't emulate a lot of the healthy design patterns. They make a lot of the same mistakes over and over." These mistakes include APIs that break or that don't work well in mobile applications.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi jdavies10,
Please try these troubleshooting steps for any AutoCAD for MAC Activation issues. Do let us know if you still have the same error.
Hi i've try that and it stil just says " the serial number you entered is not valid. try again. (1/)
just try to activate smoke too but same thing it dose say on the download tap "Error assigning serial number to product: This is an operation implementation generated fault" this is for both
Showcase for windows is doing the same thing but all the other software worked fine
Hi James,
It appears that there is a problem with your account preventing the licensing information from functioning properly. In this case, the suggested workaround would be to create a new Education Community profile with a different email address and request new serial numbers.
My apologies for the inconvenience and please let us know if you experience additional issues.
yer made a new and it works thank you

Wilton (AP) — A dean of students at a New York City high school has been charged with drug possession in Connecticut and suspended from his job.
Wilton police say an officer arrested 35-year-old Nicholas deSpoelberch of Darien, Conn., on July 11 after finding him asleep in his car. Officers say they found suspected heroin, syringes and spoons in the vehicle.
deSpoelberch is dean of students at Regis High School, a private all-boys Jesuit school in Manhattan's Upper East Side. The school announced this week that deSpoelberch has been suspended pending further investigation.
deSpoelberch posted $2,500 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Norwalk Superior Court on July 22.
deSpoelberch couldn't be reached for comment Thursday. There is no phone listing for him. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.

I am supporting Governor Mitt Romney. However, I am always encouraged when I see anyone get involved in civics -- no matter who they support! Hopefully, more and more Americans will cut through the spin, talking points and embrace issues that are personally important.
Even if we disagree with one another, there is something to be said about the American political process where we can be civil with one another despite our differences.
As a relatively young Hispanic woman, this gives me great hope for the future of this nation!

Great to see active participation, especially from these youngsters! Education and participation are essential! Wonderful to see so many Californians working to save this country from a a repeat of the Bush/Cheney policies that got us into this mess.
Note the endorsement from the widely respected, ultra conservative, Economist:
"As a result, this election offers American voters an unedifying choice. Many of The Economist's readers, especially those who run businesses in America, may well conclude that nothing could be worse than another four years of Mr Obama. We beg to differ. For all his businesslike intentions, Mr Romney has an economic plan that works only if you don't believe most of what he says. That is not a convincing pitch for a chief executive. And for all his shortcomings, Mr Obama has dragged America's economy back from the brink of disaster, and has made a decent fist of foreign policy. So this newspaper would stick with the devil it knows, and re-elect him."

Wow. On top of losing the Economist (shocking!), Romney has lost Chris Christie and republican NY mayor Bloomberg. why-nyc-mayor-mike-bloombergs-endorsement-of-obama-matters Web Link
The money quote from the Economist:
"For all his businesslike intentions, Mr Romney has an economic plan that works only if you don't believe most of what he says."
After all, who believes Mitt Romney says on any given day?

I am pretty disgusted at the amount of money spent on politics, however think people who do something with their time rather than do something with their money speaks more of themselves as people.

Kepler College of Astrological Arts and Sciences
Kepler College First Commencement
Seattle, WA— On October 10, Kepler College celebrated the first annual commencement ceremony. Eight students were awarded Bachelor of Arts degrees in Astrological Arts & Sciences, and two students were awarded Associate of Arts degrees in Astrological History and Symbology. Nearly 200 guests witnessed the historical event held at the Seattle Asian Arts Museum. Family and friends watched a multimedia display of the academic programs at the college, which showed how distance learning is integrated with onsite symposia around the theme of astrology. Speakers including Dr. Lee Lehman, Dr. Dennis Harness and Rob Hand gave a history of Kepler College's grass roots beginnings, and provided a vision for the future for both the College and the graduates. During the reception guests toured the museum exhibits, which were especially relevant to the major curriculum focus on East/West Studies.
The undergraduate program at Kepler College is dedicated to providing a solid college education based on the traditional liberal arts. Students cultivate critical thinking and communication skills while studying the impact of astrology on the development of modern civilization. Many of the graduates plan to continue their education at the Graduate School level.
The eight Bachelor of Arts graduates were: Tishelle Betterman (Tacoma, WA), Linda R. Birch (Dublin, CA), Lindy Bradstreet (Sparks, NV), Karen Hawkwood (Boulder, CO), Elizabeth Kitney (Portland, OR), Maire Masco (Seattle, WA), Norma Jean Ream (Pohao, HI) and Paula Wagner (Belfast, ME). The two Associate of Arts graduates were: Angelica Camargo-Flores (Seattle, WA) and Suzzane Duffy-Kane (Seattle, WA).
Enrollment for the four-year Bachelors and two-year Associates programs is now open. The Winter term begins December 6, 2004.

VictoryLand and its attorneys have 30 days to respond to the official complaint filed by Attorney General Luther Strange demanding that the profits and machines seized from the facility in the Feb. 19 raid be forfeited and destroyed.
The complaint and attached inventory listing states $223,405.86 and 1,615 "Electronic Gambling Devices and related property" were seized from the facility during a raid on February 19.
The state is demanding the listed "contraband" should be forfeited to the State of Alabama for destruction or otherwise disposed of by the Court's decision due to the fact that the cash and machines were fruits of a crime.
Attorney General Strange wrote in the complaint, "The above described gambling equipment along with evidence
and records relating to illegal gambling, and other equipment in possession of

machines, and gambling records possession in violation of the State Law of
The complaint also states the cost of the proceedings in the case be taxed against VictoryLand.
VictoryLand has 30 days to respond to the complaint which was filed on Monday, Feb. 25. Court documents show the case has been assigned to Alabama Circuit Court Judge Tom Young, who stated he reluctantly signed the original search warrant that allowed the Feb. 19 raid.
The seized items listed are currently in custody of the State of Alabama and documents state they have been secured under the direction of Attorney General Strange.

What are the conditions like in Sierras in May? Do you need a permit? Is anybody interested in doing some alpine climbing in the beginning of May? I will be in San Diego in April and can take a trip up. Let me know because I can pack my winter gear. email me firstname.lastname@example.com
The temps and weather can be very nice in May, but there will still be snow cover at the higher elevations (even in a low snow year like this one). You must have a permit for any overnight stay in the Sierra that is Forest Service or National Park Service land. They are available at the various Forest Service ranger stations/visitor centers. Same thing for lands within the National Park Service jurisdiction.
Permits within USFS are easy to obtain. As long as your starting trailhead is within USFS boundaries, you may cross over into national parks without issue. Conditions likely won't warrant true winter gear - May days will be gorgeous, and nights will not get too cold (generally). I'll be free-ish late May and might be up for some peaks. Do you have anything in mind? If you're unfamiliar with the area, R. J. Secor's "The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails" is the best volume to start with.
Hey. I would be interested in doing some apline climbs in early May. Which ones are on our radar. Email me if you want.
Thanks for the help. I don't have anything specific in mind. I am just starting to look them up now. Something fun that I can cover a lot of ground on. I have never been to the Sierra's I just want to get out there and climb. Any suggestions?
A couple of fairly long, but relatively easy climbs are the West Ridge of Mt. Conness and the North Ridge of Lone Pine Peak. Fivefun. Each is doable in a day from the car.
Cool. I was looking at both of those actually. Any idea on the average temps in May? Will I need to bring any ice gear? I would like to avoid it because it's so much weight to fly over.
You won't need any ice gear during that time.
Secor is better for peak bagging and obscure stuff. For technical alpine rock routes, Peter Croft's book captures most of the best routes. It's a low snow year, but a general rule is that there's more snow as you head north. If for some reason you need an axe or crampons (e.g. for the glacier below Temple Crag or the N Buttress of Goode, which are both notoriously icy) you can rent them at Wilson's Eastside Sports in Bishop. Note that the permit system changed this year to an online service for advanced reservations. More info here.
Forgot to add: I gave a slideshow with the first half being an overview of High Sierra climbing. It's posted online here.
The O.P. stated he wanted to climb in early May. The earliest opening of Tioga Road in 24 years was 4/29/88 when the snowpack was 31% of normal. Last years opening was 6/18/11 with the snowpack 178% (above normal.) With weather patterns indicating a potenial rainy April there is a chance snowpack levels this year could reach 100% which could keep the road closed until the last week of May at the earliest. That stated I think your plans to approach or climb North Ridge/West Face Mt. Conness may be overly optimistic without skis and a 10+ mile skin approach followed by scrambling endless snow covered talus. . . Not to take away from your plan. . . Just Sayin to add some levity. Most people climb these routes much later in the year. www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tiogaopen.htm
I skied powder on June 9th at about 8,000' last year so there really is no telling what you'll get. It's a low snow year for sure, but storms are still pushing through and it's easy to go from summer-like back to winter within 24 hours in the spring in the Sierra Nevada.
Hopefully it doesn't snow for the rest of spring, and I can drive up and over Tioga pass on May 7th. Save me 3+hr of driving and a half tank of fuel. That said, I'm still bringing my skis!
found this other link within Eric's post: Olmstead Point Plowing Video
Sierras in the spring, there are two storms coming back-to-back, one to three feet of snow expected.. Goodbye early pass opening..
The Palisades can be a lot of fun depending on what you want to do. I was there in June last year and got snowed on a bit but generally had really nice weather. Of course, Sierra weather can shit on you whenever it feels like so it's good to be prepared. Temple Crag has some great options for climbing, and there are also several fourteeners that are accessible from the Big Pine Creek Trail. The area gets a bit overrun in the summer, but in May it should still be pretty mellow. I actually sometimes prefer climbing in the Sierra's in the spring rather than the summer because the temps are still nice and you can approach on snow rather than scree. It makes things a bit easier in my opinion. I think I'm gonna be up there again in a few weeks, so I can let you know how it looks.

Lyondell acquires CITGO''s interest in Houston refinery for $2.1 billion
PRNewswire reports that Lyondell Chemical Company has acquired CITGO''s 41.25 percent ownership interest in Lyondell-Citgo Refining LP (LCR) in a transaction valued at approximately $2.1 billion, including CITGO''s portion of the refinery''s debt. Concurrently, Lyondell has negotiated a new five-year, 230,000-barrel-per-day crude oil contract with a subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. for the refinery. The new contract is based on market prices, which in recent years have been lower than those under the previous crude supply agreement. The transaction, which will be immediately accretive, was financed using the proceeds of a seven-year Lyondell term loan. The acquisition gives Lyondell sole ownership of the 268,000-barrel-per-day Houston refinery, which is strategically located on the U.S. Gulf Coast with access to interstate pipelines and the Port of Houston. The facility refines very heavy high-sulfur crude oil into clean fuels including reformulated gasoline and low-sulfur diesel, as well as other high- value products such as jet fuel and aromatics. It was one of the original Lyondell assets at the company''s formation and, in 1993, became part of a joint venture between Lyondell and CITGO Petroleum Corporation.

Firefighters on the scene of a blaze in Orange County Friday morning said this is the second time they have had to put out a fire at the home.
Dispatchers received the call shortly after 3:30 a.m. Captain Robert Smith with the Orange County Emergency Services District #1 said when firefighters arrived the home near the corner of Hallie and Ruby Streets it was at least 60% involved with fire.
No one was at the home when the fire started. Smith said the structure was undergoing remodeling following a fire that happened in June of last year.
Firefighters with the McLewis and Little Cypress volunteer fire departments assisted in putting out the fire.
The cause remains under investigation.

Character Counts awards will be going out this Wednesday in celebration of area youth achievements.
Over the next few days, we will be meeting the thirteen who have been nominated for this year's American Youth Character Awards.
First, we have Jake Magnuson, a senior at Bishop Ryan high school, who says that being involved with younger students is one way to lead others in a positive direction.
(Jacob Magnuson, Bishop Ryan High School) "Working with the younger students. Mostly like elementary and junior high, and just setting a good example for them for when they get older, to kind of welcome new kids into the school and just have a good atmosphere around the school."
Next, we meet McKenna Hodenfield, a senior at Minot High school who is active in school and church.
She has also spent the past year nannying a 6 year old autistic girl, and doing group projects for the community.
She says it has shown her what true character means.
(McKenna Hodenfield, Magic City Campus High School) "It feels really good after you do stuff like that. You not only make other people feel better, but you make yourself feel better by doing those things, because to do projects like that, it doesn't take just one person, it takes a lot of people to get a lot of things done. So I just like to help."
Courtney Aarseth is a senior at Bishop Ryan High School, who is active in honor society, student council, and recently shaved her head to donate to "locks of love" to show support to those with cancer.
She says that lending a helping hand whenever you can, is one of the most important parts of having good character.
(Courtney Aarseth, Bishop Ryan High School) "I think just seeing the devastation that the world is going through, I just got back from DC for "March for Life" and just seeing the poverty there - it just has compelled me to help. And with cancer, my grandparents went through cancer, and it just showed me that I needed to help. Because if you can help, you need to help."
Finally, we have Brenna Tschetter, an eighth grader at Erik Ramstad Middle School.
Brenna is involved in sports, student council, and has maintained a 4.0 GPA.
She says that including everybody and keeping a positive attitude is how she displays character.
(Brenna Tschetter, Erik Ramstad Middle School) "Really, if you just make things fun - you can make any situation into a fun situation. So it's really how you look at things, and take life and just make the best of it."
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

There's concern in Oak Park after an 8th grade girl was grabbed on her way to school Wednesday.
The student was able to break free and run away. The attacker then proceeded to get into a vehicle and left the scene.
Brooks Middle School 6th grader Nicolas Rosa is now on alert after his schoolmate was nearly abducted on her walk to school this morning.
"We heard there was an attempted kidnapping somewhere around Oak Park this morning and we got really freaked out about it," Rosa says.
The 13-year-old girl flagged down a driver who called 911 and gave police a good description.
Oak Park Elementary School District 97 spokesman Chris Jasculca says a half hour before, there was a similar attempted kidnapping involving a A 16-year-old Oak Park and River Forest High School student who got away by biting the suspect's hand.
By 9 a.m., Oak Park police had caught up with their person of interest.
School officials notified parents about the incidents and urged that they teach their children vigilance.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

The cytoskeleton and cell motility, especially actin dependent organelle transport and actin/myosin dynamics in lamellipodia
Research in my laboratory is directed in two major areas: 1) understanding mechanisms of actin- dependent organelle motility, and 2) investigating the role of myosin 1 isoforms in lamellipodial dynamics. For organelle motility studies, we use retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from fish. These cells are found at the back of vertebrate eyes, and contain numerous pigment granules (melanosomes) that undergo mass migrations in reponse to light. RPE cells can be isolated from eyes of sunfish, dissociated, and cultured as single cells. Melanosome movement can be stimulated in vitro. Both aggregation and dispersion of melanosomes in the long apical projections of isolated cells requires an intact actin cytoskeleton. Our research is focused on understanding the role of actin dynamics and myosin motors in pigment granule movement.
The second research focus is to investigate role of the unconventional myosin, myosin 1e in lamellipodia of mammalian cells. Working with Dr. David Zuzga (Teaching Postdoctoral Fellow), we are using molecular and cell biological techniques to characterize the role of myosin 1e in lamellipodial dynamics in B16F1 mouse melanoma cells.

If any Spurs fan has been monitoring the #soldado feed today, they are probably starting to feel a very familiar sense of dread. Yet again, our ambition seems to be blocked by an unwillingness to pay a few extra million pounds for a quality player. (Although many fans might fail to see the difference between 23 and 25 million pounds, it should be noted that in fiscal 2012 Spurs had a net loss of 4 million pounds.) While I admire and appreciate Levy's stewardship of the club in these turbulent financial times, I believe that this is the year to splash the cash. Allow me to make my case:
First, some realistic assumptions. I think it is fair to assume that if Spurs don't qualify for CL this year, Bale will leave for Madrid. Although many may disagree, I think this assumption falls in line with most of what has been said so far. Also, let's assume that last year was not Bale's peak, but rather his breakthrough season, and thus he will perform at a comparable level this season. Finally, I'm pretty sure at least two players (take your pick) will be sold for around 9 million pounds total before the season kicks off.
OK, so from my perspective there are really only two outcomes for next year: 1) Spurs qualify for CL, and 2) Spurs don't. If Spurs qualify, they can expect to earn around 27 million pounds from their CL adventures in 2014 (what they earned in 2010-2011). Thus, the Champions League revenue would offset Soldado's price, and bring the net marginal spend to 13 million pounds (Paulinho + Chadli + Soldado – 2 Players Sold – CL Revenue). This sum of 13 million pounds seems like a reasonable amount to pay for CL qualification, even for a man such as Daniel Levy.
Now for the bad scenario, Spurs don't qualify for the CL, and alas the Welsh rocket departs for warmer pastures. Given the current tabloid speculation, I think a bid of 65 to 70 million pounds would probably be accepted (given my initial assumption). This sum would clearly offset all of this year's transfer fees, and result in a net marginal inflow of around 25-30 million pounds, a tidy sum that could be used to buy more talent.
Of course, I must also mention that each premier league club will earn about 25 million pounds extra this year from the new TV contract.
Although this simple analysis clearly ignores many issues (like the time value of money, or the wage bill), I think the point is clear. Now is the time for Spurs to splash the cash, as there may never be a better opportunity.

in a parallel universe..
Hi all,
this is my first post here in the Apple Core.
My main intent: To offer an alternate perspective on all the (heated) debate going on with the latest phone announcements.
Why? Well, mostly, because I see a lot of hostility on both sides of the camp (okay, i'm referring to the Lumia v iPhone of course.) and I don't see why it even has to exist.
Most of it goes..
1 - The Lumia has XYZ
2 - The iPhone doesn't have XYZ
3 - WP users go "the Lumia is better!"
4 - The iOS users go "it's not necessary!"
and then everything goes downhill.
There are 2 main points I'd like to raise
1 - The iPhone when it first came out.. With it's touchscreen interface etc, was initially not considered to be anything but a gimmicky newcomer (i'm not saying it sucked - i do believe the industry opinion then was that it wouldn't take off.) The overall opinion was that touchscreen's aren't necessary etc etc - it's been so long ago i can't remember what challenges the iPhone faced coming to market.
Yet, today with the benefit of hindsight, we obviously now know that the iPhone was a milestone in industry development; it was a runaway success to this day. Remember: touchscreen tech was nowhere near mass-market adoption. Touchscreen watches, touchscreen PDAs, much of the existing touchscreen tech was not apparently relevant to the consumer - Apple found itself a niche that nobody else had recognized, and they pulled it off marvelously (obviously, there were shortcomings of the original iphone, but still those were disregarded in the long run.) - today we find many of the original iPhone's implementation of technology present in their various forms in the smartphone market (regardless whether they were influenced by or copied from apple's work)
Point: Nokia is at that stage now when it is introducing an as-of-yet unpopular feature (NFC and wireless charging for example.) to the market. I'm not saying that they have a sure-win on their hands, but just to say that for every success on the market there are often many failures lurking in obscurity - Nokia's Lumia could go either way, and whoever's side one is on, there's no point passing judgement on these features and claiming their superiority/inferiority.
2 - Not to be cynical, but I do have an impression that there is a certain pre-disposition to view the proceedings through different lenses for different parties. No, i'm not bringing in the reality distortion field or accusations of biasness or whatsoever - it's just a byproduct of being so used to Apple's consistent product performance that for a large part we assume (as a result) that apple's product decisions are of sounder nature.
In a universe with no Nokia (bear with me), if the iPhone 5 included some of the tech the Lumia 920 brings to the table, we would definitely applaud Apple for bringing a leap forward in mobile imaging technology/screen sensing technology. Fanboys or not, I do believe the general tech community appreciates the technology/the implementation of technology in the iPhone 5 - and we do appreciate how the miniaturization of components that Apple has brought with it's latest offering. But why then are we downplaying the significance/capabilities of what other hardware makers like Nokia have brought to the table?
I don't expect the general public to actually be aware of the advantages one product has over the other - it eventually comes down to a purchase decision and then the consumer having post-purchase expectation management. No problem there. But at the very least, I assume we're all here out of a love of tech - shouldn't we be equal-opportunity tech lovers?
Just to end off:
Apple iPhone 5 lovers: Don't you wish you had a f/2.0 aperture? (or OIS, pick one.)
[just using camera tech as an example - no need to say how the camera's not a big deal/not important - it may not be to you, but some would like that i'm sure.]
WP lovers/supporters: Don't you wish you had (presumably) more powerful graphics processing capability?
[again, just an example - don't need to say that WP doesn't need the processing ability because it's optimized etc.. think of the games perhaps. and no need to say that games are unimportant, please? it matters to some people.]
If you got this far, thanks for your time!
I'm pretty sure I lost track of what I meant to say (I've been typing this between and during classes), but perhaps you can see where I'm coming from.
I'm certainly not intending for this to be a troll post, and I do hope my choice of tone shows that clearly.

Girard College won't have high school students, boarding option
The Board of Directors of City Trusts with Girard College today announced that starting in the fall of 2014, it will no longer offer a high school option or a residential program.
The current model will still be in place for the next school year.
For the 2014-2015 school year, Girard will operate as a grades 1 though 8 extended day school for 425 students, with no boarding program.
Ronald Donatucci, president of the board of city trusts, said the decision was "extraordinarily painful" and it was done purely for financial reasons.
"We have concluded that by addressing Girard's financial and infrastructure challenges today, we can ensure the long-term viability of this institution while strengthening the educational program of the school," Donatucci said in a statement today.
Girard College is a free boarding school for low income children from single-parent families in North Philadelphia. It's been in existence since 1848. There are presently 405 students enrolled in grades 1 through 12. The number of displaced students the college would find schools for is about 150, said Kevin A. Feeley, spokesman for the board.
Board members also announced they have some transition options in place for the students who would be affected by the changes. Milton Hershey School in Hershey may accommodate some upperclassmen, according to a news release.
"The board said today that it was committing to completing a detailed transition plan that would have a place for every child who might be impacted," Feeley said. "
He added that the board has spoken with a number of public, charter and private schools.
Officials said the college's residuary fund reached $333 million in 2007 but by June of 2009, the money decreased to $210 million. It's been increasing, according to a news release, however it's only at $230 million today. Officials said under current spending levels, the fund would in 25 years be exhausted.
"We must reign in spending now and replenish the Fund until it is healthy enough to gradually grow back to the 1-12 residential model," said Joseph S. Martz, executive director of the Girard Estate.
Officials have said this change is only temporary.
"The only way this decision was made was with the understanding it would be temporary in nature," Feeley said of the board. "The board is unanimous in making sure we find a way to get back."

The most important nugget was buried in an AP report re run on ESPN under the headline of what else, the Quarterback position. It was about one of my favorite topics, from Brendon Kay.
"It definitely was slower than we're used to. At the same time, it was 120 degrees on the field so we couldn't go out there and run fast tempo the whole time."
Which raises an interesting question about this team moving forward into the rest of the season. If 72 snaps is the low end of the spectrum, where is the top end? 80 plays, 85 plays? One thing is for certain, the Bearcats have the depth to push the pace as fast as they need to. UC rotated 8 offensive linemen through the first team, played 12 defensive linemen and have a seemingly endless supply of running backs and receivers to rotate through. With this many guys capable of contributing it would be a waste to try to grind out 60 snap games by running and playing ball control offense. Put the pedal to the metal Eddie.

How-To: Recycled Ruffled Headband
If you pick up any fashion magazine or browse the racks of your favorite store, you will notice that ruffles are really "in" right now. But if you are like me and like the look but are low on funds I have a low budget solution…a ruffled headband.
To make this headband you can use any lightweight material that you have in your stash. I used an old chiffon skirt. But how about some organic cotton or vintage finds?
To make this headband, you will need the following tools and materials:
- Approximately a quarter yard of lightweight material (chiffon, organza, cotton, etc)
- Scissors
- Sewing needle and thread in appropriate color
- Wide Headband
- Hot glue gun
- Straight pins
- Ruler
- Piece of paper
- Pencil/pen
- Buttons Optional

Special to the Pioneer
've known Freda most of my life. Her mother, Frances, drove me to kindergarten every day when I was five. However, it wasn't until I was a freshman in high school and we had a class together that I really got to know her.
It's been 14 weeks since I learned that I had B-cell lymphoma.
That seems like a short time–only three and a half months–but in some ways it seemed like an eternity.
In the beginning it was a seemingly endless parade of doctors and tests. Just when I thought I was finished, I received another referral; another test; another opinion.
Driving to Gainesville two or three times a week–and later every day–gave me a lot of time for contemplation and self discovery.
One only has to be a fan of any sport, and you will hear the same old stories and predictions from many coaches and sportscasters regardless of the sport.
There are those who say defense wins football championships, and free throw shooting wins and loses most basketball games. And some say defense and others say it's pitching that wins baseball championships.
Well, let's take a look at this 2014 Williston Red Devil Baseball 1A State Championship team to see just how good they were.
I've always empathized with Frankenstein's monster. Through no fault of his own, he found himself a hideous scar-bearing creature that people feared, mocked and ran from.
My affection for manatees started as a joke.
A little over a year ago when I went ziplining over the Mexican jungles, I said I crossed another thing off the bucket list that I didn't even know existed.
It's true. There are many things I want to do in this life, but except for a couple I've never made it my mission to work toward those dream adventures.
At this point in my life I pretty much just take every day as it comes and if an opportunity presents itself, I jump at it because it may not pass my way again.
Service is the rent we pay for being
One of my goals as a City Councilman when I was appointed was to engage people and encourage service to our community.
In almost 25 years working in the weekly newspaper realm, I've managed to avoid voicing my opinions about two subjects: politics and religion.

What happen.Did you go the hospital
How many stitches,What knife and how did it happen

What happen.Did you go the hospital
How many stitches,What knife and how did it happen
I would love for Sal to answer this question.
I try to hold onto my knives...this way the BG doesn't get it and I save a trip to the hospital:p...Doc:)
I stupidly cut towards myself with my ambitious, went halfway behind my thumb nail.
another accident, though not a spyderco, I slipped off my sharpener and filleted my index finger around the knuckle.
and another one where i was cutting cardboard, resting the card on my leg, I slipped nd my caly 3.5, luckily fairly dull, cut my leg
My worst cut happened to my bank account and hasn't healed yet.
Got my new Spydie Caly3, VG10, and touched the blade with my thumb to see if it was sharp. WOW!
Shaving with a Gayle Bradley.
dropped a paramilitary on my toe years ago... tip in.
cut wasn't huge, but split the nail in half.
to this day, the nail grows split in two, along the paramilitary scar.
Don't catch a knife with your foot...
@ Chuck:
Good gosh, man! :eek::eek: I'm hoping you switched to an electric razor after this event. ;) Hope your face is on the mend. :)
As for my worst Spydie-inflicted injury...
Once upon a time, many moons ago, I failed to fully engage the lock on my SS Harpy. (I was in a hurry and was trying to open my knife as I was pulling on a pair of jeans). In the end, I looked down in horror to see that my right index finger was wedged firmly between the handle and the razor-sharp teeth of the Harpy. :( After a quick trip to the ER (they know me by name) I returned home with four stitchs across my knuckle (Oh! And did I mention that I was forced to get a tetanus shot?:o). I later discovered that I had accidently sliced through one of the ligaments/tendons in my knuckle. Because of this, my right index finger has a permanent "arch" at the knuckle. I like to think of it as my personal Spyderco tattoo.:)
I stuck the tip of a Delica into my thigh over Christmas...
And no, I don't wanna, talk about it :o
Maybe later.
After a night of cigars and cognac, brought my friends downstairs to show my collection. After explaining what the hole is for on the blade, I decided to show them. Everything was well until I showed them how to close a Civilian with one hand. Long story short, an inch long cut, one hour bleeding, medical glue, bandaid, I'm pouring drinks with my left hand and speaking very loudly about how sharp are my knives.
Over the years commercial and charter fishing I've cut myself more times than I want to think about. The only time I've cut myself so far (knock on wood) with a Spydie was with a brand new Delica. The action was tight so I lubed it and backed off the pivot screw ever so slightly. I was working the blade back and forth hoping to "break it in" a bit. Wasn't paying attention and sliced the doody out of my thumb. ER with 6 stitches. The doc commented on what a clean cut it was. Have to look very closely even to see a scar. Sharp knife and a sharp doc. I am Thankful for both.
Left thumb. 5 stitches.
Opening a zip-tie with a Delica.
It cut the tie fine, it's just that the blade kept on going, after the tie was cut.
(I no longer own any Delicas.)
Quiz for extra points: What's the #1 cutting chore that sends people to the ER room? (According to my physician, who entertained me with factoids while he was sewing up my thumb.)
No serious bites from a spyder yet thank god. 0301 filleted my left thumb cleanly removing the pad/tip along with my best fingerprints. They used the severed tip as a "tissue bandage" but it was supposed to die and fall off. Well it didn't it reattached...... sort of. Now I'm left with a *%@# ugly little nipple on the tip of my thumb. Its slowly healing and improving but what a bugger.
Bolster -- my guess is cutting bagels.
My only spydie cut came when someone I asked not to touch my collection decided I was kidding. He then tried a spydie drop to impress me, since he'd seen it on youtube. He slipped, the knife flew into my leg and cut my jeans badly, my leg less so. Can you guess how much that idiot's "mad skillz" impressed me?
I had just got done sharpening my delica 4 ffg and went to test it out by cutting some paper (it already shaved hair), well..... I don't know why I did a chopping action but anyway, I calculated wrong and hit my knuckle right by my hand and took a pretty good size chunk out of it!:eek: I didn't go to the hospital, I didn't need to. I just kept pressure on it and band aids and it finally stopped bleeding.
I've gotten to the point that I don't give my knives to others to "inspect" unless I know they are really familiar with knives. A friend of mine cut himself (fortunately not too badly) with my JD Smith. (VERY VERY SHARP) Years ago he had managed a knife store in the mall. Never thought he'd do this. At work I had a "cute little dragonfly" and a co-worker wanted to check it out. He did and fortunately didn't cut himself badly. (I had told him it was sharp) My knives (with the exception of kitchen knives) no longer get passed to others unless I'm sure they know how to handle them. I've learned my lessons and don't want my friends and aquaintances injured

DALLAS – A Dallas man is recovering at Baylor Hospital after he was attacked over the weekend by a pack of dogs.
Up to five pit bulls attacked Louis Hart, 63, just a block from his South Dallas home Sunday morning.
"I ain't never fought nothing like I fought them," Hart told News 8 from his hospital bed.
The dogs broke his arm and chewed up his legs and arms. His hands and feet are completely bandaged; there's a deep cut just above his right eye.
"They were shaking me like they had something good to eat," he said. "I had one hand in this dog's mouth and one hand in another dog's mouth, while another was chewing on my ankles."
Hart was walking to a store on the 2300 block of Greer St. around 10:30 a.m. Sunday, when he says the dogs lunged out of nowhere.
"[They were] trying to get my throat," Hart said. "One of them went off and took my shoe."
Several members of a nearby church eventually had to use a stick to beat the dogs off Hart. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he's expected to remain for several more days.
"I thank God, because I don't feel like I was supposed to be here," he said. "I thought I was going to die."
His wife, Sharon Tipton, later found the chewed-up shoe in a nearby field. The dogs' teeth had sliced through the thick leather.
"That's my husband's shoe," she said in disbelief, while sticking her fingers through the holes. "It's ripped to pieces."
A Dallas Animal Services spokesperson said they found four of the dogs Monday afternoon. The animals are in quarantine while its officers investigate.
Jimmie Martin, the director of code compliance, said the dogs' owners have been identified, but have not yet been charged.
The City of Dallas responded to 1,901 animal bite calls this fiscal year (from Oct. 1, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2012). That number is slightly up from the previous year, which saw 1,786 animal bites.
