Alum finances men's basketball locker room renovation
Jul 8, 2013 9:00 AM | Print
Many variables keep good students in Wichita State's athletic program, including first-class locker rooms. Athletes spend a lot of time in them studying films, preparing for practices and strategizing for games. The men's basketball locker rooms have not been completely renovated since 2003 during the transformation from Levitt Arena to Charles Koch Arena — until now.
A generous Shocker alumnus has stepped forward to meet this need with a donation of $250,000. He is underwriting the renovation of the Shocker men's basketball locker room, which is scheduled for completion by the end of this summer.
The investment, according to the donor, was of interest to him because it is something that always will be a part of Wichita State.
The new area will have decorative elements centered around a new Final Four theme and will include a trophy case, which will house the Regional Championship trophy the Shockers won this past spring.
In addition, each new locker will have an iPad dock. The space will be reconfigured and new carpet will be laid.
"The individual who has generously provided the funding for this project is an extraordinarily successful alumnus who lives in another state, but follows Shocker men's basketball faithfully," said Elizabeth King, president and CEO of the WSU Foundation. "He's a winner, both personally and professionally, and he appreciates the effort Coach Marshall and his coaching staff devote to making ours a winning program."
This type of support is important to the future of the Wichita State men's basketball program and its impact on the university, city and state.
"It shows once again that Shocker Nation is firmly behind us and continues to support us physically — by coming to games, and fiscally — by helping us be the best," said Gregg Marshall, Shocker men's basketball coach.

I've also just finished the captures from tonight's episode, it was fantastic! My favorite by far. With it's twists it makes me eager for next's week, there is some serious badassery going on in this show!
After premiering in Toronto this past summer and a UK release last month, John Carpenter's return to feature filmmaking has finally secured U.S. distribution!
ARC entertainment, partnered with XLrator Media have acquired the film, which sees genre starlet Amber Heard (ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE, DRIVE ANGRY) confined to the titular section of a mental institution in the 1960′s, one that's set upon by an evil spectre.
XLrator Media's Barry Gordon said, "We are proud to be a part of John Carpenter's long-awaited return to the big screen. John is one of the most renowned filmmakers in the world and THE WARD is a great addition to an already legendary career."
"We're thrilled to find a vibrant home with ARC Entertainment and XLrator Media, a partnership that is fast being recognized as a place where innovation in marketing and distribution is happening," said producer Mike Marcus, of Echo Lake Entertainment. "Their excitement for the film, combined with their creative approach to bringing this film to audiences, makes them the perfect partner to release this film."
No word yet on a date, or the size of release, but this is exciting nonetheless!
ALEX'S PAST CATCHES UP TO HER — While out on a mission for Division, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) runs into Irina (guest star Ksenia Solo), a woman from her past. Alex tries to help Irina break free from her captor, but her old friend double crosses her and turns Alex over to Vlad (guest star Mark Ivanir), a Russian mobster, with a debt to settle. Nikita (Maggie Q) realizes Alex is in trouble and sets out to save her but runs into Michael who is searching for his missing agent. Realizing she can't compromise Alex's secret, Maggie must find a way to work with Michael to save Alex without getting her friend killed by Division.
Thanks to NikitaTV
Hello again, gang! Brittany here with more to share. Check out my recap and review of tonight's Nikita, entitled "The Last Seduction," by visiting my blog here.
While you're there, you can also check out my interview with Xander Berkeley (Percy), and if you missed them, past interviews with Thad Luckinbill (Nathan) and Shane West (Michael).
With everything leading up to next weeks wicked looking episode, I'm really wishing it was next week already. Next week is gonna rock. It's an Alex centered episode so there's tons of Lynds to be seen. Yay! I've done 166 captures from tonight's episode and will be working on catching up clip wise in the next few days so stay tuned.
Sorry, this was posted like a million days ago (Feb 4th) on KSiteTV. I've been a little behind with them sadly.
AMANDA INTERROGATES ALEX — In order to speed up her healing, Amanda (Melinda Clarke) sedates Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) after her last mission then takes advantage of Alex's drugged condition to question her about the secrets Amanda believes Alex is keeping. Nikita (Maggie Q) realizes Alex is in danger and tries to secure her another identity to smuggle her out of the country. However, Nikita's contact double-crosses her and she comes face to face with a surprising opponent. Meanwhile, Michael (Shane West) becomes suspicious of Alex and asks Birkhoff (guest star Aaron Stanford) to investigate her.

As if starting the shortened season with three straight losses wasn't enough, the Philadelphia Flyers were dealt another blow on Wednesday, as forward Scott Hartnell will be out indefinitely with a foot injury, according to Randy Miller of the Courier Post.
For more on this story, visit Broad Street Hockey.
The extent of Hartnell's injury is unknown, but Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren told Miller that the team will know more once it knows the results of the tests.
The Flyers have struggled to put the puck in the net so far this season, scoring only three goals in three games. Losing Hartnell certainly won't help. He is a key element to the team's top line, and scored 37 goals a season ago. Losing Hartnell comes on the same day that Brendan Shanahan gave Brayden Schenn a one-game suspension for a hit in Tuesday night's game against the New Jersey Devils. Needless to say, it has not been a fun opening week to the season for the Flyers.
The Flyers will have to find a way to play without Schenn and Hartnell, two players that opened the season on the top line, when they take on the New York Rangers on Thursday night. Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds appear to be the likely candidates to fill in on either side of center Claude Giroux. Tom Sestito will likely be called up to replace one of the two, but Holmgren has not made any announcement on how he plans to fill the open spots up front.
In a bit of positive news for the Flyers, injured forward Danny Briere was skating in Hartnell's spot at practice today, but isn't expected to be back until the weekend, according to Comcast Sports Network in Philadelphia. The Flyers need Briere to return to action as quickly as possible to cushion the blow of a rough first week of the season.

In the East, The Montreal Canadiens fall 3-1 in their series with Ottawa after blowing a 2-0 lead late in third to eventually lose in overtime in one of the softest goals.Pittsburgh also lost last night as the New York Islanders scored 3 third period goals to come away with a 6-4 victory and even the series at 2 games a piece.In West, The San Jose Sharks swept the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on a Patrick Marleau overtime goal. This is the second straight year the Canucks have lost in the first round, after making it to game 7 of the Finals against the Bruins in 2011. Vancouver is 2-12 in postseason play after Aaron Rome head-hunted Nathan Horton.Finally, Chicago came one win closer to moving on as they went up 3-1 i their series vs Minnes...

VANCOUVER -- With two weeks to go before the civic election, it may not be a question of whether Vision Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson retains his office, but whether his party retains its majority on council.
That opinion comes from pollster Barb Justason who notes that with three seats vacant and the political landscape crowded with candidates with name recognition, keeping control of council may be Robertson's biggest challenge. Vision now has eight seats, including the mayor's, the Coalition of Progressive Electors two and the Non-Partisan Association one, which Suzanne Anton has vacated to challenge Robertson for the mayor's seat.
George Chow of Vision and David Cadman of COPE aren't seeking re-election.
Justason, the principal behind Justason Market Intelligence, says there is no evidence to suggest Anton can overtake Robertson, who continues to have a commanding 30-point lead in recent polls. JMI's last poll in October put Robertson at 68 per cent popular support and Anton at 32.
Were Anton to unseat Robertson, "I might be shocked and close my firm," she said. "I'd lose all confidence in myself."
But declining support for Vision itself, combined with a steady, even if not rising base for the NPA, shows there's room for change on council. Moreover, the surprisingly strong showing of Green party candidate Adriane Carr in polling above COPE shows the council after Nov. 19 won't look the same.
"I think council will be colourful," Justason said. "I don't know that Vision will get a majority and I think that's what's the most interesting thing. I don't know how much [work] they will be able to get through and get approved in council with this kind of picture."
Justason said if the Greens had run two candidates they would have stood a better chance. But as it is, with Carr showing at 19 per cent to COPE'S 11, she stands a pretty good chance of getting elected.
The Vancouver election field has no less than five parties running full or partial slates: Vision Vancouver, its archrival NPA, left-leaning COPE and two growth-restraint parties, Neighbourhoods for Sustainable Vancouver and De-Growth Vancouver. NSV, led by mayoral candidate Randy Helten, emerged out of neighbourhood anger over Vision development policies, particularly in the West End. De-Growth is led by anti-globalization and anti-Olympics protester Chris Shaw.
Former Crown prosecutor Sandy Garossino, the organizer behind the successful Vancouver Not Vegas! campaign to stymie casino expansion at the refurbished BC Place, could also play a factor in deciding who makes the last few spots on council.
Justason said all that makes for a volatile fight for the bottom four or five seats.
"Of course they can [siphon off votes]," Justason said of the independents. "Will they? I don't know. It is always those final few seats. They are not separated by a few thousand votes, they are separated by a few hundred."
Occupy Vancouver remains a significant irritant in the civic election. A recent Ipsos Reid poll shows that while many people sympathize with the cause, 75 per cent want the protesters at the Vancouver Art Gallery to pack up and leave.
Michael Byers, a political science professor at the University of B.C. and a former federal NDP candidate, says he doesn't believe there will be much change on council.
"You know, bike lanes and backyard chicken coops are not the meat and potatoes of a hard-fought election campaign. Gregor and Vision have managed to avoid the big controversies and provide what I think most people would see as stable and good government," he said.
"Gregor and Geoff Meggs have very firmly positioned Vision right smack in the middle of the majority of Vancouver voters in terms of the things they care about and that's just very clever politics."
Byers says Carr has great name recognition but he's not convinced she has the campaign machinery behind her to mobilize committed voters.
"She's a very capable campaigner. I am not surprised she is polling high. But does she have the political machinery to pull the vote out? I don't think so."
Simon Fraser University political science professor Paddy Smith predicted there will be changes on school board and councils but they won't be dramatic. Incumbents tend to be returned to power, he said, when there's no big burning issues disrupting the council.
In Vancouver, Vision has engaged in a classic incumbent campaign of not doing anything until the last minute while Anton is "stomping around" trying to get a rise out of Robertson. Both are playing traditional roles, he said.

Listen up, UK readers: if you're rocking an HTC One from 2013, and you got it from O2 or Three, check your notification bar for an update. According to this HTC support page, a fresh, steaming copy of Sense 6 is headed your way. The unlocked GSM model of the One M7 should also be getting the update. (Apparently the unlocked update is going out by country, since the US unlocked model was already updated.) Vodafone UK and EE users will have to wait.
Here's a good one for our friends across the pond: if you've been thinking about picking up a Nexus 5 but didn't want to shell out £339 in the Play Store, Clove has you covered. For a limited time (till stock runs out, I assume by the wording), you can score the 32GB N5 for £280 (including VAT), which is a pretty significant savings over Google's store.
The day is drawing near for our friends across the pond – Chromecast is all set to go on sale tomorrow, March 19th. In fact, it has already started showing up on the web at sites likes like PC World and Currys for £30.
This is right in line with a leak we saw from Dixons earlier this month that stated the prospected launch date, which has now been essentially confirmed by these listings.
Our friends across the pond will no longer have to resort to importing a Chromecast from the US as of March 19th. That's apparently the day Google's streaming dongle is set to hit shelves in the UK. At least one retailer already has the device in stock and has alerted employees to the impeding launch.
Here in the US, Amazon offers video streaming bundled up with its annual Prime subscriptions, so anyone who wants discounted shipping gets to watch some videos on the side seemingly for free. Now the company is starting to replicate this setup in the UK and Germany as well. Today Amazon announced that it is merging Amazon Prime and LoveFilm Instant in both of these countries starting on February 26th, combining the speedy delivery and substantial Kindle library of the former with the 15,000-strong collection of TV shows and movies of the latter.
If Samsung has not yet scared you away with its recent indiscretions, the new NotePRO 12.2 can be pre-ordered in the UK. You won't even have to wait very long for this stylus-friendly monster to ship. Samsung expects the NotePro (Samsung usually leaves the screen size off) to hop a truck to your home on February 4th.
The NotePro is very similar to the previously announced 2014 version of the Note 10.1, except for the size, of course.
Motorola's Moto X is making the trip to Europe, and while it isn't packing everything into its suitcase in time for launch (such as Moto Maker), it will still be the same phone we already know and love when it hits store shelves in France, Germany, and the UK come February 1st. The device will sell for £380 or 399 euros unlocked with British customers also able to snag one up on contract starting at £25 a month.
Hey, Sky? You do know that the same Google Play Store listing can be used for both smartphone and tablet versions of an app, right? No? You're still going with separate smartphone and tablet apps, like it's 2010? Okay then. The Sky Go tablet app has the same basic features of the smartphone app, but it's restricted to 7" or larger tablets running Android 4.0 or later.
Kidding aside, the feature set of the Sky Go app is pretty admirable, with live TV and streaming TV on demand.
Getting your hands (eyes?) on HBO programming isn't the easiest task in the world. The shows traditionally come served as an update to your monthly cable package, aren't available on Netflix, and are slow to come to DVD. Yet here in the US, some of the programming is conveniently available straight from Google Play. You just have to be willing, in the case of Game of Thrones, to part with $2.99 per episode or $28.99 a season.
Virgin Media TV customers in the UK, you can now watch your TiVo live television service or recorded programs on your Android device, anywhere! Anywhere with a WiFi connection, that is. Assuming that you've got a phone or tablet running Android 2.3 through 4.3, but not KitKat 4.4. Oh, and you can't be rooted. Have fun!
All kidding aside, there seem to be some serious issues with Virgin's new TV Anywhere app for Android, starting with the aforesaid KitKat support.

Tech21 exclusively license the use of d3o for mobile/laptop cases from d3o Labs - the inventor of the putty stuff. Tech21 have done nothing more than put it into cases. So, whilst they may have invented the case, they didn't invent the actual putty stuff - d3o.
Surely something that hardens transmitting the shock into the device is not as good as something that stays soft and deforms diffusing any shock wave? Sounds like a badly thought out gimmick to me...

The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes have filed suit against Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell after the Department Interior blocked their effort to offer real-money online gaming to international customers.
The Tribes were prepared to launch Pokertribes.com after coming to a revenue-sharing agreement with the state of Oklahoma. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes were permitted to offer their online gaming to clients overseas, but were prohibited from offering gaming to clients in Oklahoma or elsewhere in the United States. Under the compact, the tribe would pay the state 4 percent of the first $10 million in annual net revenue from electronic gaming, 5 percent of the next $10 million and 6 percent of any subsequent amount, plus a monthly 10 percent from non-house banked card games.
However, the Department of Interior Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs disapproved two versions of the plan, in August and November 2013 respectively, finding that the state of Oklahoma could not offer exclusive access to an international market and that therefore the state's "concession is illusory" and it is not entitled to revenue sharing. Notably, however, the Department of Interior explicitly declined to "reach the issue of whether internet gaming as contemplated in the Agreement was lawful," restricting the basis of its opinion to the fact that "the State has not offered a meaningful concession" sufficient to justify sharing revenue from the online games. Since the Department did not approve the agreement, Pokertribes.net is currently inactive.
The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribe filed the complaint against the Department of Interior on December 26, 2013 alleging that its decision was arbitrary and capricious, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise contrary to law. The tribe seeks declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent further obstruction of the website's operation. The case is currently pending before Judge Timothy D. DeGiusti in the Western District of Oklahoma.
Instead of trying to resolve this issue through litigation, we think the better path forward for the Tribes would be to use their political leverage to pass state legislation allowing the Tribes to offer intrastate online gaming to Oklahoma residents, as well as to players internationally. If the Tribes were successful in getting this legislation passed, their authority to offer online gaming would be derived from state law rather than tribal compact and would therefore preclude federal involvement. Offering gaming to Oklahoma residents as well as international customers would also resolve any concerns about the state's allegedly illusory concessions.

Boys tennis / State tournament scouting May 28, 2014 3:44 PM
Here's an overview of this weekend's boys tennis state tournament hosted by Hersey.
Baseball / Lake County roundup May 28, 2014 10:59 PM
Vernon Hills coach Jay Czarnecki said his team "survived a great baseball game" Wednesday. The Cougars outlasted Fenton 3-2 in 11 innings in their Class 3A regional semifinal.
Buffalo Grove stops Stevenson May 27, 2014 10:28 PM
Top seed Buffalo Grove ended the postseason dreams of Stevenson's girls soccer team by booking a spot in Friday's Libertyville sectional final with a 2-1 victory over the No. 14 seed Patriots on Tuesday in Libertyville. The Bison (22-2-3) now must wait another day to find who out their opponent is, after dangerous weather postponed the second scheduled match Tuesday between Barrington and Lake Zurich. That contest is now scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Vernon Hills, Lake Zurich to meet for regional title May 27, 2014 10:16 PM

Stevenson finishes fourth in state tourney May 24, 2014 11:22 PM
Boys water polo Stevenson falls twice: At Stevenson, despite 6 goals from Mitchell Sokolsky, the Patriots dropped their final two games of the season. In Saturday morning's state semifinal, Stevenson lost to Loyola 13-6. Naperville North then topped the Patriots 9-3 in the third-place match. Sokolsky scored 4 goals against Loyola, which led only 5-3 at halftime, while Dan Maleski and Zach Stephens also had goals for Stevenson. The Patriots led Naperville North 1-0 after one quarter but trailed 4-1 at the break. Sokolsky scored twice, and Alex Kapecki had the other tally for Stevenson. • Loyola went on to win the championship, topping Fenwick 3-2. Cameron Shewchuck led all scorers with 6 goals for the Ramblers (31-5), who were outscored 3-1 in the fourth quarter but earned a 3-2 edge in the OT periods. The top scorer for Fenwick (31-5) was Bailey Wendt with 3 goals. • In the girls water polo state championship game, Fenwick topped St. Ignatius 6-3 as senior Collen Barron scored 3 goals for the Friars (31-2).
Baseball / Lake County roundup May 24, 2014 10:57 PM
Junior Justin Blasinski stole the show on senior day for Lakes' baseball team. Blasinski provided the the game-winning RBI on a bases-loaded single to center field in the bottom of the eighth inning, as the Eagles defeated visiting Marian Central 4-3 Saturday.
Travetto pilots Stevenson to third place May 24, 2014 8:52 PM
So how did Stevenson water polo teammates Allison Travetto and Lauren Burns celebrate their team's third-place state finish? They hopped on a plane and headed to California. Sounds like plan. But what were they up to on this ride across the country? "They are both on the national development team for water polo," said Stevenson coach Jeff Wimer. "They needed to catch the 7:40 (p.m.) plane so they had to go to the airport." But what about Ms. Travetto? She scored a stunning 6 goals Saturday evening in the final match of the season for the Patriots, who were competing in their home pool. In fact, that was one more goal than foe Mother McAuley scored all day long. Stevenson (31-5) went home with the third-place trophy after a convincing 9-5 win.
VanDixhorn makes his case; Stevenson wins sectional May 24, 2014 6:53 PM

Big-goal Bailey does it again for Stevenson May 23, 2014 10:34 PM
Erin Bailey has a knack for scoring game-winning goals in the regional final. She did it a couple of years ago as a sophomore and has done it again as a senior, leading the Patriots to a regional championship on Friday night. Bailey hit the game-winner in the second overtime that carried No. 14 seed Stevenson past No. 12 Libertyville 1-0 in 2OT's in the Class 3A regional final in Lincolnshire. Stevenson (7-10-4) will meet top-seeded Buffalo Grove (22-1-3) in the Libertyville sectional semifinal at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Buffalo Grove won its own regional final over Palatine 1-0.
Drama aplenty through Day 1 of Stevenson sectional May 23, 2014 10:26 PM
It was a nearly perfect day for Stevenson tennis Friday afternoon, but the story of the day was the success of the Vernon Hills doubles team of David Dobrik/Nikita Lunkov. In dramatic fashion and on their home courts, the duo rode the wave of momentum right into next weekend's state tournament. The sectional host Patriots easily advanced their two doubles teams plus sophomore Benjamin Bush in singles, while the Libertyville duo of Ben VanDixhorn and Stefano Tsorotiotis left little doubt as to their status at the Vernon Hills Athletic Complex. Junior Kevin Hunt of Carmel will make his first appearance at state after a hard-fought straight-set victory over Brian Weisberg of Stevenson, while Barrington's No. 1 team of Ishaan Jaglin-Scott Apmann (9-5) will join Hunt for their maiden voyage to the big show.
On to the semis for high-scoring Stevenson May 23, 2014 11:55 PM

Back in form, Miller leads Barrington at Palatine May 23, 2014 12:50 AM
One month ago, the outlook for Barrington junior Scotty Miller was anything but bright. Having suffered through walking pneumonia and losing weight from his already slight frame, Miller looked like anything but the standout sprinter who medaled twice at the Class 3A track and field meet a year ago. Fast forward to the Class 3A Palatine Sectional and any signs of a weakened or broken down Miller were nowhere to be found. Miller captured state-qualifying berths in three events for the first time as he helped lead the Broncos to the overall team title on Thursday.
Fast-starting Stevenson rolls into semifinals May 22, 2014 10:37 PM
Host Stevenson wasted little time getting rolling Thursday night in the boys water polo state tournament. The Patriots jumped all over Brother Rice in this quarterfinal contest as they built a commanding 9-1 lead over the Crusaders at halftime before coasting to a 12-7 victory. Stevenson (27-7) advanced to the semifinals against Loyola Academy (29-5) Saturday at 10:15 a.m. Brother Rice closed out its season with an 11-18 record.

Great truck cover -

Great cover for my back seat in F150 truck. My golden doodle loves it.

Great protector and my lab approves -
By: Javajo from Annapolis, MD
I ordered this for my 2014 Subaru Forester to use when traveling with my Labrador Retriever. The size works very well and I saved the cost of a custom fit. I especially like that there is a front flap that covers the entire front of the back seat in addition to covering the "sitting area" and the back area. It gives complete coverage and worked well on a re cent vacation with my lab. It is very easy to install and remove. The holes for seat belts work fine for my auto, which will allow for back seat passengers without having to remove the cover. I have not washed it yet, but, expect the Orvis quality will wash and wear well and give many years of service.
Great Cover -
By: Scooter123
Beautiful, color match was perfect and it fit like it came with the truck. Seems like it will be very durable and will do the job.
Best CarCovering -
By: TerriN from Madison, NJ
I have bought this for all of my cars and families car so that the cars would be protected from Foster when they transport him. It stays in place and is easily washable. Love it!
Precisely What Was Needed -
By: Gr8dogLover from Northern Calif
Bought the Outback with leather seats in cream before I got the standard poodle mix puppy. Needless to say that this water loving pup was not helping keep the car clean. Really agonized between hammock style and backseat protector. Selected backseat protector because dog is usually hot & this style allows the air to move to the back between the front seats. It arrived quickly. It was very easy to install. The large fit my car seat well, not a lot of overhang on the sides. The seatbelt slots are positioned correctly so i can use a child's carseat without removing the seatcover. The tuck-in handles help stabilize the cover. Have not had to clean it yet. I did debate whether the quality would match the price-point (because this is not the cheap way to go). Initial impression is yes. However, until it proves itself to be durable and washable, I will have to wait to finalize that impression.
By: ilovemydogs2much from Apex, North Carolina
Orvis is the BEST company EVER to order from!!! I ordered the back seat protector and the bucket seat protector to ship ASAP. I was aware that the back seat protector was on "back order", I just made a little note to please send ASAP. Guess what??? They found the back seat protector in Denver, CO, sent it right to me in Apex, NC and we had it in time to go on our annual beach trip with dogs in tow and no worries about our new "used" Honda CRV!! A million THANKS to Orvis for taking such good care of its customers and really going the extra mile!! I feel like I have friends that work there and they listen to me and take care of me!
By: DallasTony from Dallas, Tx
I have a new F150 super cab and I have had problems finding a cover that will one cover the whole seat and two secure where it doesnt come up on the ends. This product meets both requirements with flying colors!! It has adjustable straps for head rest which is great. I tried it on a Jeep and was able to get it to fit perfectly in just a couple of minutes. It also has straps to cover the front of seat so it doesnt ride up and have the leather exposed. This product is also very well made and very durable in the month that i have had it. This is the 4th seat cover I have bought and FINALLY FOUND ONE THAT FIT MY NEEDS FROM ORVIS! It is totally worth the couple extra dollars to keep my best friend and hunting buddy comfortable!
Great seat cover! -
By: Uffdadawg from Atlanta, GA
Well made. Fits well. Looks like it will hold up for a long time.

Manchester committee to address Common Core education concerns Monday night
The city's Curriculum and Instruction Committee will meet Monday night (6:30 p.m., City Hall), with the majority of the evening expected to revolve around addressing Common Core concerns.
About two dozen residents attended the meeting last month, several of whom voiced concerns over the new standards. Opponents of Common Core argue it is a federally-imposed system based on unsound educational principles that will undermine local control.

this guy isnt even a vikings reporter, hes just calling itt he way he saw it i guess.........
Peter King:
It's amazing, and a little sad, that the Minnesota special-teamer Derek Ross actually had possession of the fumbled Robert Ferguson kickoff return in the final minute of the Packers-Vikings game. And Ross was down before the pigpile got the ball disengaged from him and into the hands of a Packer. Green Bay then moved a few yards into field goal range and won. That stolen ball, quite likely, is the difference between the Vikings having a two-game lead over the Packers this morning and the Pack and Vikes being tied at 5-4 atop the NFC North.

Signed up to the 3mb package and my modem GUI shows me connecting at 3008/512 which would seem like the max for my plan.Speed tests consistently show me at :

Thank you for the quick reply Tage.That explains everything as I remember connecting at ~5.25mb on various speed tests when I was on the 6mb plan so that chart clears everything up.If you wouldn't mind answering another question I talked to a Sonic tech who told me if I wanted to get more speed I could try having AT&T 're-profile' my line.What exactly is involved in this process as I'm really interested in getting back as much speed as possible at this point.Thanks.

Cortinarius archeri (Family Cortinariaceae)
Cortinarius archeri is widespread in eucalypt forests and woodlands. The distribution shown on the map is based on herbarium records and reliable sightings. It is likely that this species has a wider distribution than that shown on the map. However there has been little work on the distribution of Australian fungi and there are surprisingly few herbarium specimens of even the common species. (ACT, NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, TAS, WA).
This mushroom usually has a sticky to slimy cap, though it may be dry in warm or dry conditions. The cap is often up to 10 cm in diameter and occasionally reaching 15 cm. The caps are initially violet or purple but turn brown with age. In young specimens the cap is convex but flattens with age and may end up quite flat, or even with the margins slightly raised above the centre. When young there is a sticky, cobwebby, purplish partial veil that extends from the edge of the cap to the stem. As the cap expands, it ruptures the veil, but you may be able to make out the fibrillose remnants high on the stem. The stem can also be quite slimy and is coloured purple below the veil attachment, paler lilac above that point. In contrast to the cap, the stem keeps the purplish colours. The gills are brown, but with lilac tints.
Occasionally you may see just one mushroom, but mostly they appear in small groups, sometimes in small clusters with the bases of the stems touching.
Spore print: rusty brown. Basidiomycete.
Ecology/Way of Life:
The mushrooms of this mycorrhizal fungus appear on the ground.
Other Comments:
The type specimen of this endemic species was collected in Tasmania. There are a couple of macroscopically similar species – Cortinarius microarcheri and Cortinarius subarcheri. They are easily distinguished by spore features, but in the latter two species the mushroom caps are smaller – with diameters between 2 and 6 cm.

Maduro to travel to Havana on Wednesday
Venezuelan Executive Vice-President Nicolás Maduro said people were betrayed by the bourgeoisie following the uprising of January 23, 1958
He announced that in the next few minutes he would depart for Havana, Cuba, along with Energy and Mining Minister Rafael Ramírez. They are to visit President Hugo Chávez, who is recovering from a cancer surgery he underwent on December 11.
At the 23 de Enero parish, west Caracas, Maduro said that on January 23, 1958 it was not possible to bring about a leadership unifying all the revolutionary energy. Soon after that, the bourgeoisie betrayed people.
"Beyond people shouting slogans of democracy and good intentions, there was no leadership unifying all the revolutionary energy that ignited on January 23 and in no time the presidential palace of Miraflores was taken over by representatives of the bourgeoisie," Maduro added.
Maduro summarized the bipartisan period of democracy known as the Punto Fijo pact as repression, torture, forced disappearances, looting, corruption, and high treason.
On the contrary, Maduro claimed that President Chávez's revolution means sovereignty, independence, dignity, Bolivarianism, patriotism, the great homeland, inclusion, equality, education, social justice, labor and solidarity.
Is protest over?
That political protest in Venezuela has lost momentum seems pretty obvious: people are no longer building barricades to block off streets near Plaza Francia in Altamira (eastern Caracas), an anti-government stronghold; no new images have been shown of brave and dashing protesters with bandanna-covered faces clashing with the National Guard in San Cristóbal, in the western state of Táchira; and those who dreamed of a horde of "Gochos" (Tachirans) descending in an avalanche to stir up revolt in Caracas have been left with no option but to wake up to reality.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Supporters of a dismantled Mexican American studies program at Tucson Unified School District are appealing a judge's ruling that upheld a state law that prohibits public schools from offering courses that engender racial or ethnic disharmony.
The Arizona Daily Star that the appeal by students opposed to the law asks that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals either reverse the lower court's March ruling or order further proceedings.
The district board voted in April 2012 to dismantle the program because some state funding was to be cut off in response to conclusions by Arizona's public schools superintendent and a judge that the program violated the law.

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: Books, Entertainment News
Josi Carlos Somoza's diverting Chinese puzzle of a novel begins inauspiciously. From its title, "The Athenian Murders" (the original Spanish version was called "La caverna de las ideas"), and the first few pages, you might expect it to be one of those routine, cheesy mysteries in which an anachronistic "detective" sleuths around with various historical figures cribbed from some freshman-year survey course. Way back in the '70s, with Nicholas Meyer's "The Seven Percent Solution," this sort of thing seemed fresh, but nowadays everyone from Jane Austen to Leonardo da Vinci and Mark Twain has been dragooned to hunt murderers by one crime fiction hack or another. (Who's next? William Blake? Cardinal Richelieu?)
There's also something odd about the writing in "The Athenian Murders" — a strange predilection for the word "mane" and an oddly stiff tone … but wait, here's a footnote signed "TRANS." commenting on the frequent metaphors involving manes and hair and referring to someone named Montalo who supposedly copied this text from a papyrus. (We'll just set aside our knowledge that the novel didn't exist in ancient Greece.) A little further on and "TRANS." is including a description of a conversation with a colleague named Helena; obviously the person writing these notes isn't Sonia Soto, who translated Somoza's book from the Spanish.
In fact, "The Athenian Murders" owes more to Nabokov's "Pale Fire" than it does to "A Connecticut Yankee in Criminal Court." The never-named translator, speaking only through footnotes, quickly becomes obsessed with his project, recognizing that it's an example of eidesis, "a literary technique invented by the ancient Greeks to transmit secret messages or keys in their works. It consists of repeating, in any text, metaphors or words that, when identified by a perceptive reader, make up an idea or image that's independent of the original text." The manes and hair references clotting up the first part of the first chapter give way to repeated images of maws and roaring, which Helena helpfully points out suggest a lion.
The detective in the central story is named Heracles Pontor (a nod to Agatha Christie's famous sleuth Hercule Poirot there), and when the predominant images in the second chapter concern snakes and multiple heads, it's not hard for anyone who remembers her basic Greek mythology to figure out that the Labors of Hercules is the motif at work. But "The Athenian Murders" has more — and far more ingenious — tricks up its sleeves. Heracles (whose professional title is "Decipherer of Enigmas") teams up with one Diagoras, a tutor at the Academy — yes, that Academy — to figure out how one of its students wound up lying dead on the outskirts of Athens, apparently mauled by wolves.
Along the top of the pages, the two men make their expected tour through significant institutions of classical Greek society — the brothels at the port of Piraeus, the agora, various temples, the gymnasium and eventually to the Academy itself, where Plato makes the obligatory cameo — in search of clues. They debate the relative value of Heracles' rigorously empirical reason vs. the idealistic Platonic philosophy espoused by Diagoras. At the bottom of the pages, the translator eagerly notes eidetic images and contemplates contacting the venerable Montalo, an elderly scholar, to request a look at the original papyrus.
Then, however, things get a bit weirder. The eidetic images become extravagantly literal — snakes writhe all over the floor of Heracles' quarters; a rampaging giant bull trashes the gymnasium; carnivorous horses frolic gruesomely on the Academy grounds — and yet the characters remain oblivious to all of it. Meanwhile, in the footnotes, the translator learns that Montalo's body has been found in a forest, apparently mauled by wolves.
If that isn't trippy enough, an old buddy of Heracles' shows up after years of travel and starts telling the Greeks about an obscure belief widely held "in many places far from Athens" that "everything we do and say is words written in another language on a huge papyrus scroll. And Someone is reading the scroll right now, deciphering our thoughts and actions, and finding hidden keys to the text of our lives." The text makes some unsettling lapses into the second person, and the translator thinks he sees a menacing figure lurking outside his house in the night.
If you're going to write a novel where cleverness is the chief point, then it must be very clever indeed. Part of the charm of "The Athenian Murders" is that just when it seems about to disappoint on this count, when Somoza appears to have painted himself into a narrative corner, the book ratchets up another level and presents the reader with a new set of enigmas. The philosophical discussions of Diagoras and Heracles turn out to be much more than historical color; they're intimately engaged by the book as a whole. And yes, there is a more deeply buried pattern of eidetic images that will point the vigilant reader toward the truth about who's killing the beautiful young boys of Athens long before the fictional detectives figure it out. Naturally, just as such a reader would be feeling particularly smug, that's when "The Athenian Murders" delivers its final, most surprising twist.
Our next pick: A lovesick fellow takes the form of such animals as a snail, a scorpion, a chameleon and a fish in pursuit of an elusive beauty.
