MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - James Ruff is celebrating July 4th with his family, along with the fireworks he paid nearly a $1,000 for at Little Dixie Fireworks in West Monroe.
"We're going to set off all these fireworks," Ruff said.
Business Owner Donnie Melton says he has plenty of jaw dropping gadgets for the July 4th holiday, since no burn ban is in the way.
"It has rained a lot here, recently, and everybody here locally said it's going to be a really good year," Melton said.
Melton believes many are probably waiting until the last minute to buy the fireworks.
"It has been so hot, they have not been out," Melton said.
Little Dixie is a distributor. Many of the retail stands in the area, at some point, used this building as their home.
Some people are heading to public fireworks displays. There is one in Monroe, Saturday, starting at 8:45 P. M at the River Market. But there are other event that are starting at 10:00 a.m.
In Farmerville, there's one near the Highway 33 bridge along Lake D'arbonne Saturday at 9 P.M.
This week, Ouachita Parish firefighters are releasing some advice during the celebrations:
-Make sure all purchased fireworks are "DOT" approved on the label.
-Always read and follow label directions.
-Have an adult present at all times.
-Buy only from reliable fireworks retailers.
-Ignite only outdoors in an area of sufficient size for the fireworks being used.
-Have water handy to cool a burn or extinguish a fire.
-Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks.
-Light one at a time.
-Never re-ignite malfunctioning fireworks.
-Never allow small children to handle fireworks.
-Store all fireworks in a cool, dry place.
-Dispose of all fireworks properly.
-Never throw fireworks at another person.
-Never carry fireworks in your pocket.
-Never ignite them in glass containers.
Fire crews are also hoping you stay safe when it comes to grilling.
-Never leave your grill unattended.
-Keep grill surfaces clean by removing fat and grease residues.
-Only use grills, whether propane or charcoal, outdoors.
-Place grill well away from your home, deck railings, and out from underneath porches.
-Keep small children and pets at least three feet away from grilling area.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – There's a reason criminals strike in the night. They don't want anyone to see them in action. That's why Albany city leaders plan to light up the streets.
They are installing new lights polls in high crime areas in hopes of deterring crime.
Thousand of crimes have taken place in Albany this year. Many of them take at night, in the dark, in secret, but leaders want to put a spotlight on high crime areas in order to cut down on crime.
Riverfront Park is a place for long walks and family gatherings. The park hasn't attracted too many criminals, and Albany Police Chief John Proctor hopes to keep it that way.
"That's one of the things I'm hoping to prevent an incident from occurring and I think there is a great need for this," the Chief said.
So more lights will be installed here to protect the people here and hopefully to deter criminals from showing up.
A man was murdered on Alice Avenue just last month. This area, near the corner of Alice and South Madison is another place city leaders want to shed light.
"We look at both crime prevention and crime deterrents. We think that having more lighting certainly will dissuade people from congregating and make is appear so that when officers come to an area, they can see it real well."
Commissioner Morris Gurr has been pushing for better lighting in high crime areas for the past six months. "Actually, it started with a phone call I received from an individuals about alley lighting, dark areas, needing more alley light," Gurr said.
He's hoping better lighting in his ward near Gillespie Park, often troubled with gang activity, will not only keep criminal activity out, but make the people who live here feel safe.
"Decrease the crime and hopefully next year, maybe another report comes out, how has this worked? Do we have other hot spots we need to look at?"
Putting crime in the spotlight, in order to turn crime out. The new lighting will cost the city about $35,000 for installation. They will also have to pay ongoing consumption charges.
Albany Police will also alert Water, Gas and Light and let them know anytime they see a street light that has burned out in order to get as many street lights burning at night as possible.©2009 WALB News.

text: "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up" is one of my few favorite live CDs, by one of my favorite industrial bands: Ministry. There's not a track on here I don't like. Well, there are only six tracks, but that's still a rarity for me. I generally don't like live CDs at all.Set during Ministry's 1989-90 tour, "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up" samples all six tracks from two of their following albums: "Land of Rape and Honey" and "A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste" (both worth checking out). Most of the songs on here are loud and testerone-driven, with growling vocals and throbbing bass/drums. Some others are a bit slower, though they do eventually rise to ear-shattering levels as well, i.e., my favorite: #3 ("So What"), a long-drawn-out 11 minute and 30 second apathetic anthem.Another favorite is track #6 ("Stigmata"), where Al Jourgensen rants for about a minute near the end with [swearing at]so-and-so and the other (mostly political leaders, but I'm sure it offends most people). This last track ends with the audience chanting "Ministry", but if you listen carefully, you can hear some guy chanting obscenities in the background instead, which is at least one reason for the parental advisory on the front cover, not to mention the obscenities spewed from Al himself. If you're anti-censorship, then you'll probably want to participate in the "just say no to censorship" campaign on the inside of the booklet, by removing and mailing the parental advisory logo on the front cover "along with a letter supporting your First Amendment rights, to your congressional representatives and/or local legislators." Whether you decide to do this or not (somehow, the title of this CD doesn't exactly call to the more motivated individual), I'd still recommend buying this CD. It's well worth your money.

Al-Farouq Aminu can play defense for the Golden State Warriors ... if he wants to
""I'm real long and athletic," he said, "and, you know, defense is just wanting to do it. So I feel like if I put my mind to it, I can do it. ... I just have a knack for rebounding." This is good news, but when do superstars, let along the everyday NBA players, ever really want to 'put their mind to' playing great defense?

Alabama Wrongful Death Law
Alabama law allows family members to bring an action for wrongful death against a negligent party for causing the death of their loved one. However, Alabama's law is different from most of the country. While other states focus on the "value" of the lost life, Alabama law focuses on the "enormity of the wrong" committed by the defendant. The purpose of Alabama's wrongful death law is to punish the wrongdoer and deter others similarly situated from repeating the same conduct.
Serious Legal Representation for Serious Damages
If you have lost a loved one in an accident that you believe was the result of someone's misconduct or negligence, talk to an attorney at the Drake Law Firm. Our firm focuses strictly in the legal arena of fatal accidents, wrongful death damages and personal injury litigation. Fatality claims are often two legal matters. First, we will investigate to prove that your loved one died as a direct result of a negligent act on the part of a single party or multiple parties.
After proving negligence, we will work aggressively to determine the full extent of the damages, over a lifetime of loss plus significant punitive damages. After determining the full extent of the damages, we begin the negotiating process to seek full and fair compensation. Although the large majority of cases settle out of court, preparing every case to win in a trial is the only way the insurance company will be serious about a fair settlement offer.
Damages recovered under Alabama's Wrongful Death Act do not become a part of the estate. Rather, any recovery goes directly to the heirs at law pursuant to intestate succession. The fact that the deceased had a will does not change this.
Alabama Wrongful Death Procedure
Under Alabama law, a lawsuit can be brought against any party or parties whose misconduct or negligence resulted in the death of an individual. In order to qualify as a plaintiff, you must prove a relationship on which you depended for emotional or monetary support. The general statute of limitations (filing deadline) for initiating a wrongful death action is two years from the date of the death that resulted from the negligent act — even if years have passed since the accident. Alabama law is strict about adhering to the two-year statute, unlike many states that allow some exceptions for minors. The text of the wrongful death act is as follows:
Section 6-5-410. Wrongful act, omission or negligence causing death:
(a) A personal representative may commence an action and recover such damages as the jury may assess…for the wrongful act, omission or negligence of any person, persons or corporation.
(b) The damages recovered are not subject to the payment of the debts or liabilities of the testator or intestate, but must be distributed according to the statute of distributions.
(c) Such action must be commenced within two years from and after the death of the testator or intestate.
Who May Commence a Wrongful Death Action?
"Personal representative" means the administrator or executor of the estate of the deceased. Thus, until such time as letters testamentary are granted and an estate is opened, no person has standing to bring an action for wrongful death. However, in the context of a work-related death, the right of the personal representative is removed and the dependents have the right to bring the action.
With regard to the death of a minor, the parents have standing to bring the action. If the parents are divorced, then the parent having legal custody has the right.
Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations
As indicated by the Statute, Alabama's standard two-year limitation is applicable. Unlike many other situations where tolling is allowed for minors or incompetents, no such exceptions exist in a wrongful death case. Generally, a claim can never be brought after two years from the date of death.
Burden of Proof
In order to present a wrongful death claim, it must be proven that the defendant's conduct was the proximate cause of the decedent's death; "Proximate" meaning the direct or legally sufficient contributing factor. Sometimes it is not always clear how the defendant's conduct caused the death. What if the conduct merely hastened the death? Alabama law has held that if the defendant's conduct hastens or otherwise accelerates a person's death, then a lawsuit claim can be brought…as long as the decedent would not have otherwise died from the same condition or disease absent the defendant's conduct.
Amount of Award and Discretion of Jury
As noted earlier, the jury can only award punitive damages. As the name suggests, the goal is an amount of money that will sufficiently punish the defendant. The award by the jury should be large enough to punish the defendant and to deter others similarly situated form repeating the same conduct. Many large wrongful death verdicts find their way to the Supreme Court in an effort by the defendant to have the judgment amount cut or reduced. Various factors influence the decision as to whether the verdict is excessive, including assets of the defendant, insurance available, enormity of the wrong, etc.

It's always been mystifying to me why some equate a constructivist/constructionist/project-based/inquiry-based approach to education with "teacher doesn't have to do any work" (actually, I'm pretty sure why some people are fond of that idea, but we won't go there). Some years ago, Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark stirred the pot with their article Why Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching.
Those of us who have advocated (and practiced) this style of teaching with success immediately recognized some of the serious problems with this paper. It's pretty clear that doing truly original work without any scaffolding from a knowledgeable other is hard. Really hard. They give you PhDs for that. In the entire history of the human race, only two people (that we know of) have invented calculus. Odds that a student is going to discover calculus by him- or herself? Not very good.
That's not to say that students can't learn from unstructured exploration — I'm a big advocate of tinkering (bricolage, if you want it to sound impressive), and have learned many useful things from it. But, you know, students don't really need to pay you tuition to do that. If they aren't getting any (or "minimal") guidance from the instructor, why are they even in school? Why is there even a "teacher"?
(there are some who would argue that school as we know it is a bad idea altogether, but that's a separate discussion).
The best response to Kirschner, et al, that I've seen is Hmelo-Silver, Duncan, and Chinn's Scaffolding and Achievement in Problem-Based and Inquiry Learning: A Response to Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark (2006). Their discussion matches closely with my own experience. Correct application of these methods doesn't mean that the teacher provides no guidance, as Kirschner, et al would have it. On the contrary, I would argue that doing a good job in this respect requires more work, not less. It's really much easier for the teacher to make every student perform exactly the same task, which can be graded with a check-off rubric. Giving students the freedom to pursue their own interests means (or should mean) that the instructor gives each and every student individual attention and careful guidance to prevent them from wandering off into the weeds.

Phoenix Coyotes sign veteran Jeff Halpern to one-year deal

Originally published: Oct 13, 2013 - 8:56 pm
The Phoenix Coyotes had quite a finish to their five-game road trip this weekend -- both on the ice and off it.
Phoenix took the final three games of their road swing with impressive wins over the Detroit Red Wings, Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes but when Dave Tippett's squad returns to town they'll do so with more than just a nice three-game win streak to show for themselves.
Veteran center Jeff Halpern has agreed to terms with the team on a one-year, two-way contract.
Halpern, 37, has scored 147 career goals in parts of 14 NHL seasons with the Dallas Stars, Los Angeles Kings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitols.

Aubrey Plaza ready to time travel
11:57am Wednesday 26th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Safety Not Guaranteed star Aubrey Plaza has confessed she really does believe in time travel.
The actress and comedian stars with Mark Duplass in the quirky comedy about a man who advertises for a partner to go back in time with him, and the reporter who replies so she can write a story about him.
Aubrey revealed: "I believe in spells, witchcraft, ghosts. I also believe in time travel although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but am sure that it happens. If I could time travel I would go to London in 1969 and find Judy Garland and hang out with her!"
Safety Not Guaranteed was inspired by a genuine ad which appeared in survivalist magazine Backwoods Home in the mid-90s.
Writer Derek Connolly and director Colin Trevorrow penned the script, and created the character of magazine intern Darius especially for Aubrey after seeing her comedy show.
The 28-year-old actress said: "I was sent the script and told it was written specifically for me. I didn't know the writer or director but I really liked the story so said OK. The transformation that my character goes through is what really spoke to me."
Safety Not Guaranteed is in cinemas now.

Nyackers may soon be able to grab dinner downtown without feeding the meters.
Village officials, local merchants and residents discussed a tentative overhaul of Nyack's parking strategy Thursday night, weighing the pros and cons of .
Laird-White is seeking to shift the paid and free parking times in the village; under her plan, paid parking would be in effect from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Currently, parking runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and costs 75-cents an hour.
"The goal is not primarily to increase revenue," Laird-White said, although the shift would add hours to the paid parking timetable. "It's to create a kinder, gentler Nyack. And businesses may be able to stay open longer."
It's a plan village merchants are willing to at least sample.
"It's a great idea to try," said Paulette Ross, who owns P. Ross on Main Street. "It's a little creative, a little weird... but it's fair."
Ross said she hears customers complaining daily about parking in Nyack—specifically about receiving tickets.
Candice Robbins, who runs another Main Street business, agreed, noting enforcement is "relentless."
"Parking officers watch and wait for meters to expires," she said. "They're doing too good a job."
Robbins suggested a five minute grace period after meters expire. Laird-White noted one is already built into the munimeters, but could be better publicized.
"[And] our parking signage is atrocious," the mayor added. "It's all going to be redone."
Other board members expressed trepidation with the new plan, however.
"We'll lose turnover," said trustee Steve Knowlton, noting someone could pull into a spot at 4 p.m., shell out less than two dollars, and stay there until 11 p.m.
's Ryan Spicer, like Knowlton, is wary of Laird-White's plan and less supportive than Ross and Robbins. Spicer, a co-owner of the bar, said Nyack shops and eateries are already competing with the Palisades Center and municipalities with free parking, like Piermont.
By making visitors pay for late night parking, the village is driving away business, he said.
For now, the concept remains in its nascent stages.
"We'll take ideas and cull them into a coherent document," Laird-White said. "Then we'll post it on the village website and continue the discussion."

Roy Hibbert scored 22 points and Danny Granger matched his season high with 13 to help Indiana hold off Toronto 86-79 Tuesday night.
The Pacers (28-6) won their third straight to retain the NBA's best record.
Toronto (16-17) has lost two straight on the road - at Miami and Indiana - after winning four straight. The Raptors were led by DeMar DeRozan with 28 and Patrick Patterson with 20 against a Pacers team that looked more like itself after losing north of the border last week.
Indiana had a 40-26 scoring advantage in the paint and limited the Raptors to 37 percent shooting from the field.
They closed the first half on an 8-3 spurt to take a 44-36 lead, which they extended to 17 in the third. Toronto couldn't get closer than six the rest of the way.

My semester in Washington is going by so quickly. The past two weeks I have had a lot of unique experiences. I have crossed some items off my bucket list, heard many influential speakers and learned a lot!
I went to the International Spy Museum, which was really interesting. It cost twenty dollars though, which surprised me because most of DC's museums are free. The museum had an interesting exhibit on James Bond. Also, the museum staff had us memorize our new "spy identities" that they would quiz us on throughout the tour. I wish I could have spent more time in the shop at the end of the museum because of all the unique products they had.
Unfortunately, when my friends and I decided to go to the WWII Memorial and Lincoln Memorial, it was really cold so we could not fully enjoy ourselves. I want to go back when it gets warm out.
For class, we went on a tour of the Pentagon! We walked 1.5 miles inside the building, got to see the different sections of their offices and learn about the history of the military. I was a little disappointed, though, because we didn't see anything super secret, especially after visiting the International Spy museum. We did get to the part of the building that was hit on September 11. They have a memorial in the building, and it was sobering to reflect there.
Our professor invited a Pacifist to come speak to our class. He tried to convince us all to become vegan. He brought bottles that had the fat content of a burger and milkshake from McDonalds. They were pretty disgusting looking, but I am still going to eat meat. We also spoke to the former Ambassador to NATO and the author of the Carter Doctrine. He told us that the government is always watching us and he has visited over 100 countries! If I could be like one of of speakers we have seen, it would probably be him.
Fun Fact of the week: I learned that the State Department asks for a DNA sample when you retire (if you're way up there in the organization like my professor).

Bridgeport superintendent resigns
The Bridgeport school district will need a new superintendent. Dave Miller, who has been the district's superintendent for the past five years, confirmed Wednesday he submitted his resignation to the school board Wednesday evening, effective at the end of the school year.
Miller says he resigned for personal reasons and is looking to relocate. Miller says over the next six months he will be working on the financial aspect of a recently passed school bond issue, establishing a credit rating for the district, the duration of the bond, and trying to get the lowest interest rate possible. He will also be hiring a Construction Manager for the project, with the goal to have construction started prior to the new superintendent taking over.
Miller believes he is leaving the district in good shape, noting two other construction projects were completed during his five years without a bond issue. One is a 2,500 square addition for special education classes paid for with federal funds and money from the district's capital construction fund. A 1,500 square foot vocational education facility was built with capital construction funds and one third by donations.

They were put into the Market by accident and were removed; they won't be featured in the coming Mystery Game (we've put in a couple of new items to replace them).
Thank you Stumpgrinder. There is our answer.
Thanks for the update Stumpgrinder
No longer supporting Zynga. You won't find me here.
Will they be released at all for those who missed them?
I guess nobody informed me of the glitch that allows you to go into the market and make a purchase using coins or farm cash depending on the item.
Oh wait thats part of normal game play.
This is the equivalent to some poor guy putting his baseball cards on the garage sale table for a quarter a piece then having his friend ring him up to tell him the baseball card market is up and there worth more than ever so he pulls what he didint sell so he can sell at a later time for a higher profit.
Heres the kicker he cant go to all his customers and offer to pay them a quarter each to get his cards back because he just found out there worth more.
They were out, some people bought them. Fair enough. I wish I did.
if people, myself included, bought something that was available in the market for multiple hours....it's not our fault. there was no indication it was a glitch. there was no known issue. there was no bug reported. we bought stuff that was available. good for us. score one for the good guys for once.

"All for our Country":
The motto has always been part of the state seal but there is no documented source of its originality.
Nevada entered the Union as a state during the Civil War and just before the presidential election of 1864. The Constitutional Convention met in Carson City on July 4, 1864, one year after the battle at Gettysburg. The Union needed another state, another supporter of President Lincoln, to prove to the Confederacy that the Union was strong. Patriotism was running high here and those assembled for the Convention felt very loyal to the Union and quite willing to do what they could to support it.
Article V, Section 15 of the Nevada Constitution states that there is to be a state seal. In the second legislative session (1866), Assemblyman A. B. Elliot of Storey County introduced Bill 26. It was read and referred to the Committee on State Library. They returned it to the Assembly for another reading. It passed there and went to the Senate.
In the Senate, AB26 was referred to the Committee on State Affairs. On February 19, 1866, Senator Lockwood reported that the Committee had AB26 under consideration, had come to a favorable conclusion thereon, and directed their chairman to report the same to the Senate, without amendment, and recommended its passage. On the third reading it passed 12-1.
The statutes of 1866 (chapter XLI) gives a complete description of the design. The last sentence reads "In an outer circle, the words, "The Great Seal of the State of Nevada," to be engraven with these words, for the motto of our State, "All for Our Country."
Unfortunately, there are no records of the committee proceedings, discussions, nor any legislature's discussion of the seal, to tell us how or why or who came up with "All for our country."

At this beautifully refurbished, 12-bedroom Edwardian manor house, with lovely views of the Torbay coastline, the menu has moved on greatly in the past couple of years. Dishes are now classics based on the best local produce, be it locally caught fish, Devon beef, or vegetables grown in the kitchen garden. At lunch the focus is on light options, such as fishcake with poached free range egg & chive beurre blanc or broccoli risotto with Dartmouth oak smoked salmon, while more complex cooking emerges in the evening. Tian of Dartmouth crab & avocado with a tomato vinaigrette, followed by fillet of aged South Devon beef with braised celeriac, pan-fried foie gras & port jus, then prune & Armagnac souffle for dessert are highly recommended. Service is sweet, there's a decent selection of wines &, though prices aren't cheap, diners are encouraged to linger to fully enjoy the experience.

Business leaders from Valdosta and Lowndes County were at Wiregrass Georgia Tech Thursday to talk about...business.
It was the eighth annual "Gathering of Eagles" event. Business leaders listened to motivational speakers and shared tips and ideas about how to make their businesses more successful in Valdosta and Lowndes County.
"It's a bit of a pause from the work week where we can comeback and think about our businesses, working on our businesses instead of working in the business," said Tray Taylor, one of the event coordinators and CEO of Valdosta Insurance Services.
"We just had good speakers that probably never would've heard about Valdosta in the first place, so it kind of puts on the map from that perspective," Taylor continued.
Valdosta's Mayor, John Gayle, was one of the speakers at the event.

Alma Latina Opens Affiliate Artist Concert Season at Kean University Baritone Patrick Mason will sing de Falla songs
UNION, N.J. On October 4, at 8 p.m., Kean University's Wilkins Theatre will present Alma Latina, the first concert in a series of four presented by the Affiliate Artist Program. For the opening of the 2004-2005 season, the Affiliate Artist Program has been able to engage Patrick Mason, one of the country's leading baritones, who teaches at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Wilkins Theatre is located on the main campus at 1000 Morris Avenue in Union, N.J. Tickets are $10 and are available through the box office by calling 908-737-SHOW (7469). Students, alumni, faculty, staff, and seniors receive discounts.
"I am thrilled that we are able to bring Patrick Mason to Kean," said Dr. Anthony Scelba, director of the Affiliate Artist Program. "He is one of the most sought-after baritones performing and recording today, and this will be his first performance of those great de Falla songs." Mason will perform the songs with Christopher Kenniff, affiliate artist in guitar. Several works on the program, which offers music from Spain, Argentina and Brazil, will feature Kenniff.
Other performers on the concert will be The Yardarm Trio; James Musto, percussionist; Sharon Roffman, violinist; Katherine Harris, soprano; and Dr. Martha Marchena, professor of piano at Kean, who will make her first appearance in an Affiliate Artist concert. All the performers, except for guests Mason and Marchena, are members of the Affiliate Artist Program at Kean, which brings internationally celebrated musicians onto its faculty.
The music for this concert promises to be a lively mix of tuneful works that contain an ethnic flavor and reflect the concert's title, Latin Soul. The program opens with A Taste of Brazil performed by The Yardarm Trio, and includes a dazzling percussion solo, played by Musto, the haunting Bachianas Brasileiras, sung by Harris, and pyrotechnics from Roffman's violin.
Biographical Information:
Patrick Mason, baritone, has appeared throughout the world in recitals and concerts of music from tenth-century chant to contemporary scores written for him. Mason has been heard in London's Wigmore Hall with guitarist David Starobin and as baritone soloist with the Colorado Springs Symphony in Britten's War Requiem. He has received critical acclaim for his recording of Franz Schubert's Winterreise and a recital of French melodies, both for the Bridge recording label. Mason has been a soloist with the Boston Camerata and the Waverly Consort and has collaborated with composers Stephen Sondheim, Elliott Carter, and George Crumb and is featured on recordings on Columbia, Erato, L'OISEAUX LYRE, Vox, MHS, and Bridge.
Mason was awarded a Bachelor of Music degree from Peabody Conservatory and a Master of Music from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. In addition, he has been a soloist with the Takacs String Quartet, the Waverly Consort, and the Boston Camarata, and has appeared as a recitalist in London's Wigmore Hall, the Cairo Opera House, at festivals in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and in the United States.

ThunderRidge knocked out of playoffs in semifinals
Fairview broke a 21-21 halftime tie with a field goal and added a pair of touchdowns to beat ThunderRidge 38-28 in the state Class 5A semifinal game Nov. 23 at Shea Stadium.
"It was a tough game. Our problem was we had way too many opportunities on offense and defense and didn't take advantage of them. You can't do that against a good team like Fairview. We didn't deserve to win today," Joe Johnson, Grizzlies head coach, said after the game. "Mistakes hurt us. We committed too many penalties, we dropped too many passes and gave up too much yardage on a number of third and long situations. You just can't do that. We knew we had to score a lot of points and that didn't happen tonight."
The loss ended the season for ThunderRidge. Fairview goes on to the Class 5A state finals against Valor Christian at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 30 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
The first half of the Nov. 23 semifinal game was a seesaw battle. Fairview took the kickoff, put together a nine-play drive and scored a touchdown and added an extra point with 7:17 left in the first quarter. The Grizzlies struck back immediately as Steve Ray got blocking to turn the corner, broke a couple tackles and raced 78 yards for a touchdown. Mark Hopper kicked the extra point and the score was tied 7-7 with 7:03 left in the quarter.
Fairview scored a touchdown late in the quarter but ThunderRidge again answered early in the second quarter as Ray scored his second touchdown of the game on a four-yard run, Hopper added the extra point and the score was tied at 14.
The Knights got a touchdown with six minutes to play but the Grizzlies again countered. This time, it was Matt Stanley who ran 11 yards for the touchdown and, when Hopper kicked the extra point, the score was deadlocked. It remained that way for the next 2:23, so the halftime score was 21-21.
The Knights took the lead for good with a field goal with 7:34 left in the third period. But it appeared ThunderRidge was going to respond as they drove deep into Knight territory. However, the drive was derailed when Fairview intercepted a pass in the end zone. The Knights them mounted a drive and scored a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter. The extra point made the score 31-21.
The Grizzlies were knocking on the end zone door again later in the third quarter, but Fairview recovered a fumble to end the drive.
The next points came with 3:28 left in the game when the Knights scored a touchdown to make the score 38-21.
However, ThunderRidge refused to quit, and quarterback Brody Westmoreland passed to Hopper for a touchdown with 36 seconds left in the game. The extra point was good to make the score 38-28. The Grizzlies unsuccessfully tried an onside kick, then Fairview got the ball and ran out the clock for the win.
ThunderRidge played well. Ray carried 12 times for 130 yards and a pair of touchdowns while Westmoreland completed 17 of 30 passes for 317 yards and carried the ball 11 times for 41 yards. Hopper was the leading receiver as he caught nine passes for 173 yards and one touchdown. He also was 4-for-4 kicking extra points.
Westmoreland, a senior, was a question mark for the game because of a back injury suffered a week ago. After the game, he said going against Fairview was a tough battle.
"It was a hard-nosed game. Fairview is a great team and we knew we had to bring our A game to beat them. Unfortunately, the game didn't turn out like we wanted it to turn out," Westmoreland said after the game. "Their offense moved the ball and their defense made some huge plays today."
He said it wasn't hard to come back for the semifinal game.
"I wanted to be here today and I knew if I came back, I would give it my best effort. I think I did that today," he said. "As a senior, I take away great memories from today and from the season. I take away the great memories as well as the friendships and the brotherhood with my teammates. I also take away the memories of the great coaching I have gotten the last four years. I love ThunderRidge, our school and our community."
ThunderRidge senior linebacker Tyler Sena said it was a tough battle with Fairview. The Knights are known for their potent, record-setting offense, but the Grizzlies held them to 459 yards of total offense, including 319 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
"It was a big game for us. We wanted to get to the next level and get to the championship. Unfortunately, that didn't happen today," he said after the game. "I didn't think they were great up front. We stopped their running game cold. I was keying on the guards and it helped me get to the area where the runs were going. We got some sacks too because our defensive linemen did an amazing job."
He said this has been a season to remember.
"It has been a great time playing alongside all my friends and getting to the state semifinals," he said. "Hopefully, I did a good job as one of the leaders and I wish ThunderRidge all the best next season."

TiVo App for iPad Might Be the Ultimate Remote
- |
- 8:47 am |
- Permalink
TiVo is porting its gorgeous interface for integrated live TV, DVR and internet video services to the iPad.
The company is announcing its new Tivo Premiere iPad app today; it should be available free from the iTunes store in the coming weeks.
There have been other iOS and Android remote applications, but TiVo's is particularly noteworthy because of the sheer number of services it can control. From the press release, here's a short list of what it can do:
- Gesture based control - Take complete control of all recordings, even dragging forward and back through a show with a simple tap or swipe
- Start watching what you want – Launch a recorded show, live TV or streaming video with the swipe of a finger
- Program guide – Browse your full-screen TV program guide without interrupting TV viewing
- Schedule – Schedule one-time recordings and Season Pass recordings from the device at home or on-the-go
- Get more from your shows and movies – Explore cast and crew and other recommendations of your favorite shows without interrupting the big screen
- Search – Search for all of your favorite TV shows, movies, actors or directors across both broadcast and broadband from Netflix, Amazon Video On Demand, and more
- Share comments with your friends – From within the TiVo Premiere App, comment and share your thoughts to Facebook or Twitter about the show you are currently watching
A TiVo spokesperson confirmed to me that the app will search and launch every service TiVo offers, from on-demand video to streaming music. (And remember, Hulu Plus is still coming.)
This is where TiVo's ability to push all of its services through one box is particularly powerful: I don't have to switch inputs or apps to see what's on live TV or Netflix.
About the only thing the app can't do is stream video from your TiVo to the iPad. I'm sure that will spawn a horde of knee-jerk complaints from people who believe the world owes them everything they can possibly imagine.
From my experience using Comcast's similar but on-its-face less-awesome Xfinity TV iPad app, browsing television and on-demand video on a tablet is both very different from and obviously superior to using a traditional remote.
It's almost unfair to call this class of apps "remote controls." TiVo's press release calls it a "two-screen experience," and that's closer to the truth. It's more like flipping through a magazine — an oversized, interactive, full-color TV guide — that's wirelessly linked to your big screen.
We're separating out reading, browsing and management from the big screen, bringing the text closer to our eyes and putting the objects we're manipulating directly in our hands. Twenty years from now, we'll fun of our early-21st-century selves for ever doing it differently.

Scientists Map the Brain, Gene by Gene
The human brain is surprisingly bloody. I've worked in neuroscience labs, and I'm used to seeing brains that are stored in glass jars filled with formaldehyde, the preserved tissue a lifeless gray. But this brain—removed from a warm body just a few hours ago—looks bruised, its folds stained purple. Blood drips from the severed stem, forming puddles on the stainless steel table.
I'm in the dissection room of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, and the scientist next to me is in a hurry: His specimen—this fragile cortex—is falling apart. Dying, the gray matter turns acidic and begins to eat away at itself; nucleic acids unravel, cell membranes dissolve. He takes a thin, sterilized knife and slices into the tissue with disconcerting ease. I'm reminded of Jell-O and guillotines and the meat counter at the supermarket. He saws repeatedly until the brain is reduced to a series of thin slabs, which are then photographed and rushed to a freezer. All that remains is a pool of blood, like the scene of a crime.
Behind all the gore there's a profound purpose: The scientists here are mapping the brain. And while conventional brain maps describe distinct anatomical areas, like the frontal lobes and the hippocampus—many of which were first outlined in the 19th century—the Allen Brain Atlas seeks to describe the cortex at the level of specific genes and individual neurons. Slices of tissue containing billions of brain cells will be analyzed to see which snippets of DNA are turned on in each cell.
If the institute succeeds, its maps will help scientists decipher the function of the thousands of genes that help produce the human brain. (Although the Human Genome Project was completed more than five years ago, scientists still have little idea which genes are used to make the brain, let alone where in the brain they are expressed.) For the first time, it will be possible to understand how such a complex object is assembled from a basic four-letter code.
"The maps of the brain we currently have are like those antique maps people used to draw of the New World," says Allan Jones, chief scientific officer at the Allen Institute. "We can see the crude outlines of the structure, but we have no idea what's happening on the inside." Jones is in charge of making sure the atlas gets finished. He wears starched button-up shirts and crisply pleated khakis, and he looks like the kind of guy who has a drawer full of bow ties. "Studying the brain now is like trying to navigate a vast city without any driving instructions," he says. "You don't know where you are, and you have no idea how to find what you're looking for."
When the project is completed in 2012, at an expected cost of $55 million, its data sets will list the roughly 20,000 genes that, switched on in the exact right place at the exact right time, give rise to this self-aware tangle of neurons. And because the vast majority of mental illnesses and disorders, from schizophrenia to autism, have a significant genetic component, scientists at the institute hope that the atlas will eventually lead to new methods of diagnosis and more effective medical treatments. To map the brain is to map its afflictions.
This enterprise is unique in one other respect: scale. "People ask me why we didn't start with a more modest goal, like trying to map some small brain area," Jones says. "The point of doing the whole brain, though, is that it allows us to really develop theories about how the brain works. Sometimes, the only way to make sense of a complex system is to be systematic."
To achieve this, the Allen Institute reimagined the scientific process. There was no grand hypothesis, or even a semblance of theory. The researchers just wanted the data, and, given the amount needed, it quickly became apparent that the work couldn't be done by hand. So, shortly after the institute was founded in 2003, Jones and his team started thinking about how to industrialize the experimental process. While modern science remains, for the most part, a field of artisans—scientists performing their own experiments at their own benches—the atlas required a high-throughput model, in which everything would be done on an efficient assembly line. Thanks to a team of new laboratory robots, what would have taken a thousand technicians several years can now be accomplished in less than 20 months.
The institute can produce more than a terabyte of data per day. (In comparison, the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome can fit in a text file that's only 3 gigabytes.) And the project is just getting started.

Japan's nuclear power plant at Fukushima which was unstable for sometime after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that claimed the lives of many may be having problems after all.
It is suspected that the plant may be leaking radioactive water into the Pacific ocean although the plant's operators deny the claims. The claims were made by Japan's nuclear regulator.
According to officials from Nuclear Regulation Authority, a leak is "strongly suspected". It went ahead and urged the plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. to determine where the water may be leaking from and assess the environmental risks. Since the plant operator deny the claims, the Authority on Wednesday revealed that it was going to form a panel of experts to look into ways to contain the problem.

KISS guitarist Ace Frehley publishes his memoirs, No Regrets, on November 1. Frehley has lived a colorful life, no doubt, and his book publishers have now posted a taster of what is to come in the book.
Here are a few choice quotes:
"When I was a kid I used to carry around this awful image in my head – a picture of three men tangled awkwardly in high-tension wires, fifty feet in the air, their lifeless bodies crisping in the midday sun."
"There was always a little bit of mystery surrounding my dad, things he never shared; nooks and crannies of his past were always a taboo subject. He married late, started a family late, and settled into a comfortable domestic and professional routine. Every so often, though, there were glimpses of a different man, a different life."
"In the beginning, I enjoyed school and team sports, but as I got older, my social life and music began taking precedence over my studies. I remember coming home with B's, C's, and D's on my report card and hearing my parents complain… I'd just throw up my hands. Between bands and girlfriends, who had time to study?
"Much later, it was the same sort of 'I told you so' attitude that would compel me to challenge the other guys in KISS to an IQ test. Just for the record, I scored highest: 163, which is considered 'genius.'"
"One day, by chance, I picked up my friend's new electric guitar and checked it out. I plugged it in, turned the amp up to 10, and strummed a power chord. I immediately fell in love. It was a life-changing event! I was only 12, but I was totally hooked."
And "…The rock 'n' roll would soon follow."
That's just the first chapter. Read more about Ace Frehley's No Regrets.

the missing junior, contacted her mother early Thursday and is "OK," but still on the run.
Natalia's mother, Diane Muoio of Plainview, confirmed today she had a brief conversation with her daughter Thursday morning. The 17-year-old's conversation was brief but indicated she is "OK," her mother said.
Nassau Police Detectives said they, too, had learned of the conversation and were continuing to actively pursue the case as a runaway incident. Police and family members continue to be concerned for Natalia's safety and well-being because of previous indications of abuse at the hands of another person.
Natalia disappeared on Nov. 30 and, until Thursday morning's phone call, hadn't been heard from since.
The massive outpouring of support from the Plainview community has had an apparent impact on the case, authorities said. Diane Muoio asked for that support to continue so that Natalia is returned home and she gets the help she needs.
"Now we have more work to do," Diane said.
Patch will continue to update this story as it develops.

Q: working with $wpdb class and Buddypress 1.5 (custom SQL calls)
Hey all, I'm trying to find the proper way of referencing BP tables using the $wpdb class. using $wpdb->$table reference http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb#Tables allows a smart way of reference WP table in case someone changes the table prefix.
Hoping to follow suite when referencing the BP tables, for example $wpdb->$xprofile (or something like that). Can't find these BP table references anywhere… my goal is to add a record to wp_bp_xprofile_data correctly following the new BP 1.5 etiquette.
Any suggestions on how to keep this bulletproof would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
