Marketing / Promotional info on "Oz", to be built adjacent to the BankAtlantic Center: It's sunrise, and a fresh-baked scone beckons at the French bakery right outside your door. Your coffee is perfect because it is prepared by a local who knows you by name. Just a few feet from your residence is your office, and your commute is a stroll, no bus, no car, no taxi, no train. You will pass friends along the way. They will smile, wave and say hello. Indeed, nothing says "good living" quite like a scone. And all the smiling and waving sounds like a stroll through labotomy-land. Who wrote this? Richard Simmons? Alas, it gets better: Tonight you might take in a show, a Broadway show, or a professional hockey game or concert at the arena just around the corner. Your seats will be just where you like them, thanks to your resident concierge. Late night is every night in Oz, with sidewalk cafes, clubs, restaurants, bistros and even fitness clubs operating on your schedule. Who doesn't need the option of a 3 a.m. visit to the bistro outside your door? And exactly what is included in the "concierge" service? Are they female?

The third annual Philly Naked Bike Ride is comin' your way this Sunday, September 4th, at dusk. So consult with your local Orthodox Jew to figure out what exact time that is, get as naked as you feel comfortable, and head on over to…TBA.
Basically, this whole thing sounds super shady, but they've done it twice before with turnouts in the thousands, so that's gotta count for something, right? People ride to promote fuel consumption awareness, to save the environment, to have a say about body image, and most likely, to have a good ol' drunken time. (Stop being pseudo-hippies with all these nonsense causes, and just embrace the truth.)
Check out the FAQs about the ride here and stay tuned for announcements on the exact time and location (also available on Facebook). Also, pictures from past years here.

Have no fear foodies, there's something for you too in the form of something called a Razz-Ma-Tazz. It's worth all the z's. Intellectual? Check out Lowbrow's poetry. They were feeling moody this week.

Sorry, ladies. We had to remove this little gem, but we promise naked frat guys are a dime a dozen. And remember: be naked, be filmed, beware.
Ivy League Playmate Hits The Internet
In case you're lucky enough not to know anyone in a frat and thus haven't been forwarded this news item by a million different listservs already, here's the scoop: a Penn girl's picture has landed on Playboy's web site. This is a family blog, so we won't post the saucier pictures, but here's a link to the bikini shot.
Girlfriend looks good, but we don't think this will score her any points in her apparent quest for that elusive law degree. Trying to take a page from Elle Woods, perhaps? We hear the more scandalous pics require a $20 membership on Playboy's site.

Apparently the boys of the ATO house on Locust celebrate a muggy Saturday night by a naked run, as this blogger discovered last night as she walked by. Two brothers, two laps around the chapter house: the quintessential college moment. Now, the cell phone camera evidence:

PHA adds 50 police officers
- Written by Eric Mayes
- Published in News Headlines
Fifty new officers are being added to the Philadelphia Housing Authority's police force, officials announced Thursday — more than doubling the size of the force over the next year.
The expanded force is part of a shift in the agency's policing — a move to community policing.
"This is an initiative that we believe is responsive to the many complaints and issues that have been raised by our residents over the last few months regarding safety and security," said the agency's interim director, Kelvin Jeremiah. "One of the things I've been hearing since I came to PHA is: 'We need more police officers. Crime is on the increase. We're concerned about our safety.'"
With the additional officers, the total number of full-time police officers on the force will rise from 28 to 78. New officers could appear in just a few weeks.
Jeremiah said the agency expected the larger force to cost between $5 million and $6 million a year. He said that by ending contracts with three private security firms, contracted with the agency to the tune of $30 million, the agency will be able to cover those costs. In addition to expanding its police force, PHA plans to spend $8.5 million to add security cameras and access controls at its properties.
The decision to expand the force came after PHA conducted a resident survey "that was alarming to us," Jeremiah said.
"Most folks who responded are concerned about their safety," he said. "We have a fundamental obligation to provide for the safety and security of our residents."
Complaints ranged from robbery, assault, and drugs to gun violence.
According to PHA Police Department Chief Ben Walton, the authority will change the way it deploys new officers.
PHA is adopting a community policing model, meaning that police officers will patrol the same areas in an effort to get to know residents — and the patterns and habits of the area they patrol — in an effort to curtail crime.
Officers will patrol all PHA developments — but with a special emphasis on Norman Blumberg Apartments, Hill Creek Apartments, Raymond Rosen Manor, Wilson Park, Westpark Plaza and Abbottsford Homes.
"We picked the five developments that have the most problems. They'll be there every day," he said. "That's where the trust factor comes into play."
Walton lauded the change, noting that PHA police officers have the same powers that city police officers do, something that private security guards lack.
"These officers will have the powers of arrest," he said, adding that they also have greater powers when it comes to investigations.
This will also strengthen the relationship with local city police, Walton said, "We want a relationship with the residents - and the Philly PD."
All of the new officers will be members of the housing authority's police union. The union and the authority have been at odds for years. In April, the police union signed a new contract after years of confrontation.
The additional officers pleased union officials.
"The union is very excited about this move," said Angela Rice-Warthen, president of the Fraternal Order of Housing Police. "We're here to serve our residents. Our morale is up, too."
News of the hiring was the latest of several changes announced since Jeremiah took the helm in June after former director Michael Kelly resigned in the wake of the news that he was having an affair with a subordinate.
He had followed long-time director Carl Greene, who was forced out in 2010 amid charges of financial misconduct and serial sexual harassment.

Just wanted to let the readers know that "Unidisc" a subsidiary of Aquarius, I guess, has remastered this collection. So, this is, in fact, a remaster (and a good one). This is a good value and has virtually all the important songs from the band.
Aquarius has amalgamated with a larger record company recently, so they're remastering a bunch of the older titles. I have nothing against big record companies when they do things like this; all they really need to do now is salary cap the greedy CEO's at 200 Grand/year and give raises to all their employees who do most of the work and there's no problem (that would hold back inflation, too).

The hey days for Walnut Ridge, Ark., were during World War II, when thousands of young men learned to fly at an airbase just outside town.
Since then, it has been like a lot rural communities across America, a place where families raise kids and people worked hard, go to church and live their lives without too much excitement.
But, on a September night in 1964, something happened that no one in Walnut Ridge could have ever imagined.
"It started at the place called The Polar Freeze, like a dairy bar, which is still there, still serves BBQ and still has the same owner," recalls resident Charles Snapp. "Jack (Allison) saw the plane circling and it was a clear night. It was in a slow flight."
"Well, I was out in this area picking up paper and back then a lot of teenagers hung out and circled this place and I had seen this airplane make a circle, a big airplane," added Jack Allison, owner of the Polar Freeze. "We didn't have much traffic, big stuff at night."
Snapp and Allison both questioned why an unusual plane would circle Walnut Ridge at that time of night.
"Then three boys pulled up and I said, 'hey boys what y'all doing?'," Allison said. " 'Just out running around.' I said, 'run out to the airport and see if the airplane is in trouble.' So then they went and that's all I had to do with it."
The three teens went to the airport and they found that a large twin engine airplane had in fact landed. What happened next was like a scene out of The Twilight Zone.
"When they first pulled up they actually thought that couldn't be The Beatles," Snapp said. "So they got out and actually visited with them a while they came off the plane with wine bottles and shared some drinks with them talked to them and found out it was The Beatles. It was when they went back to town that it was hard for people to believe The Beatles had been in Walnut Ridge."
The Beatles had taken a break from their first U.S. tour.
While the boys from Liverpool were usually greeted by mobs of screaming fans, that wasn't the case on an Sunday morning in Walnut Ridge. Most parents refused to let their kids skip church.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (8/19/13) – You can find fresh produce at any local supermarket. But, where else can you find produce, along with the farmer who grew it?
At the Lexington Farmer's Market, you can find fresh fruit and vegetables that come straight from the ground to your home. Farmers set up booths with their produce and sell them for reasonable prices. The market sets up shop in different areas in Lexington throughout the week:
•Sunday, Southland Dr., 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until October 27.
•Tuesday and Thursday, S. Broadway and Maxwell, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. until November 26.
•Saturday, Cheapside Park, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. until November 30.
The Smith family has been selling their produce at the farmer's market for 43 years. Mr. Smith, who does a great deal of the farming, said there's a large variety of produce at the market, but some fruits and vegetables depend on the weather while they are growing.
"We try to provide the freshest and best fruits and vegetables that are available at that time," said Smith. "Weather is everything. You never know what weather you're going to get, you just anticipate. Farming is a gamble anyway."
No matter what the weather, you're bound to find your favorite produce at one of the farmer's market locations. Listed below are some examples of fruits and vegetables you can find and their approximate prices, depending on the vendor:
•Eggplant, $1 a pound.
•Sweet peppers, $2 a basket.
•Tomatoes, $2 a pound.
•Cucumbers, $3 a quart.
•New White Potatoes, $3 a quart.
•Watermelon, $3-$4.
•Sweet Freestone Peaches, $1.79 a pound.
•Yellow Squash, $1.79 a pound.
•Sweet Vidalia Onions, $1.79 a pound.
•Large Cucumbers, $1 for two.
•Red Bell Peppers, $1 each.
•Green Bell Peppers, $1 for two.
•Super Queen White Sweet Corn, $1 for three.
Other products you can buy at the farmer's market include honey and honey products, soap and body care products and local wines. For more information about the Lexington Farmer's Market, visit www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.com.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - One week ago, there was relief in the air after a 2-year-old girl and a youth league football coach were both rescued from a likely abandoned cistern at Russell Lee Park.
Thursday, Metro Parks employees discovered two more wells under the basketball court at Russell Lee Park down from where the rescue happened.
[PREVIOUS STORY: Rescuers save toddler, coach from cistern in Louisville park]
Doug White, a basketball player who frequents the park, said of the wells, "I'm just glad they're finding them, there could have been more people that could have gotten hurt."
Filling the holes has been priority number 1 for Metro Parks ever since Myahana Moore, 2, and Youth League Football Coach Terrence Washington had to be rescued from an abandoned 15 foot cistern.
Metro Parks officials did some quick digging and found out both homes and buildings occupied the property from 1928 to 1950. The cistern in question was filled and every depression on the 17 plus acre property got a good once-over. To be safe, 42 depressions to date have been dug out, leveled, seeded and covered with straw.
Then Thursday afternoon? "We noticed a depression in the basketball court and a small hole," explained Metro Parks Assistant Director Marty Storch.
"We brought a contractor in," Storch said, "We saw-cut that up and then we discovered two more bricked lined wells or cisterns."
White noticed the depressions every time he played basketball. "In the center," White pointed at the court, "like the one they're fixing right here and the one down here," he said, "there are cracks and you could twist an ankle or break a leg." That's why one side of the basketball court was dug out and filled with a concrete material.
It's also why the youth football teams are practicing elsewhere until the all clear is given. "I don't know what I would have done if it had been my child," said parent Trisha Griffin.
Griffin's son plays youth football, her boyfriend is a coach and she's thankful something is happening.
"That's great, that's what needs to be done," Griffin said of the effort by Metro Parks. "I feel like that should have been done a long time ago," she continued, "There may be even more wells, so, I feel like they're taking the proper steps to get everything taken care of."
Within the next two weeks, the basketball court will get a complete makeover. Also, the park is getting a brand new football field as is getting reseeded and fertilized with new goal posts.
Relatives of Myahana said she continues to feel better but they said it has been a difficult and scary time for the family.

Twickenham thinking positive over promotion
8:00am Friday 2nd May 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Twickenham's secretary of senior rugby Andy Rees does not know a lot about his side's opponents this weekend, but what he does know is only a good sign.
The Parkfields outfit had to settle for the runners-up play-off berth in London Two North West last weekend as Old Priorians were crowned champions after beating HAC.
Standing between Twickenham and promotion to London's top league tomorrow is Saffron Walden – runners up of London Two North East.
Rees said: "Saffron Walden played Old Priorians in the cup earlier this season and were beaten by 50-odd points.
"We're both second in our respective leagues, but we've scored more points and more bonus points.
"We have the advantage of being at home, so if we aren't confident now we'll never be confident and if we lose, then we only have ourselves to blame."
He added: "The pitch is in immaculate condition and we're hoping they play with a strong pack so our pace and try-scoring ability is too much for them to cope with.
"We're at full strength, which is a bonus given when the game is.
"We had been concerned as playing on a bank holiday weekend could have meant we'd lose players, but that's not the case."

HAVERHILL — Two hundred local residents who are students at Northern Essex Community College will receive approximately $178,000 in scholarships for the 2013/2014 academic year, according to a recent announcement by the college.
"Our students are deeply appreciative of the many generous individuals and organizations that make these scholarships possible," said Jean Poth, vice president of institutional advancement. "For many of our students, a scholarship is what allows them to stay in school."
Scholarships range from $500 to $5,000 and come from a variety of sources, including private donors, memorial donations, local businesses and private foundations.
There are two new memorial scholarships this year: the Betty Beland Memorial Scholarship and the Kathryn F. Moyes Memorial Scholarship.
Funded by the Stevens Foundation, the Betty Beland Memorial Scholarship is in memory of Betty Beland, a Lawrence activist who passed away in November of 2011. Beland was the administrator of the Stevens Foundation for more than 25 years, and the scholarship will be awarded annually to a student from Lawrence.
The Kathryn Moyes Memorial Scholarship is an annual award funded by the family of Kathryn Moyes, a longtime member of the college's Developmental Education faculty, who passed away in May of 2012. This scholarship will be awarded to two deserving students each year.
Also new this year are the Haverhill Community Television Transfer Scholarships, two $5,000 scholarships for NECC students who are graduating with an associate degree and plans to pursue a four-year degree in communications; the Greater Newburyport Community Center Foundation Scholarship, a $1,000 annual scholarship for a deserving student with preference given to individuals from the Newburyport area or those who have served in the military; and the NECC Foundation, Inc. Incoming Freshman Scholarship which will be given to nine students from local high schools based on high school transcript, recommendation and credits enrolled at NECC.
"Establishing a scholarship can be a very appropriate way of honoring an individual," said Poth. "A scholarship also is a very effective way of giving back to the community since the great majority of our students are from the Merrimack Valley."

Biofeedback is a way to measure the body's physiological responses in real time, and a tool to learn to control them. Biofeedback generally relies on machines that measure heart rate, muscle tension or even brain waves, and usually requires a therapist or other health professional to operate the machine, explain what the readings mean, and work with clients to incorporate the information into lifestyle changes. However, there are some exceptions to this, which we'll discuss later on in this article.
How Does Biofeedback Work?
Most often, biofeedback helps people control their stress response, by realizing when it's underway and employing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, visualizations and meditation to calm their physiological arousal. Many of the benefits of biofeedback simply come from the increased relaxation in your body and the lack of a chronically triggered fight-or-flight response. Because chronic stress can be a trigger for many negative health symptoms, this can offer a significant and palpable improvement in the way people feel and how their bodies function.
By helping you learn how your body is currently functioning, biofeedback can help you to know what to change. Also, by showing you in 'real time' which relaxation techniques are working and which aren't, you're able to more easily grasp effective ways to relax your body's physiology and incorporate healthier habits into your lifestyle.
What Does It Treat?
Because biofeedback can with stress related conditions by helping to reverse the stress response (and help you keep from letting it be triggered in the first place!), it can be useful with a variety of conditions.
Biofeedback has been popularly used for anxiety, tension headaches, pain, IBS, general stress, and several other conditions.
How To Get Started With Biofeedback
There are some ways in which you're probably already using a very simple form of biofeedback:
- Physical Awareness: Some physical responses can be easily sensed without equipment, of course. When your body becomes tense, that's a natural message that you're stressed. Shallow breathing can be another. Becoming aware of your body's stress signals can arguably be a sort of natural form of 'biofeedback'.
- Household Tools: Scales, thermometers, and even mirrors can tell you about some of your body's functioning by pointing out excess weight, fevers, and visible signs of stress like acne.
As mentioned, there are also many biofeedback practitioners out there who can help you understand how your physiology is responding to stress, and help you to perfect strategies to calm your body and your mind, and stay healthier in the process. One of the best ways to find a good practitioner is to ask your doctor for a referral.

About this page:
This page provides an overview of the status of the digital orthophoto quarter-quadrangle (DOQQ) program in North Carolina. This includes information about both the black and white program and the color infrared program.
A GIS page has been developed; it contains additional suggestions for the use of DOQQs and other digital products:
Back to Top
Overview of digital orthophoto quarter-quadrangle program in North Carolina:
North Carolina has two generations of statewide photography used to produce digital orthophoto quarter-quadrangles (DOQQs). The first is black and white photography that was acquired in the spring of 1993.
The second generation is color infra-red acquired in the spring of 1998 and 1999; these data in the eastern third of North Carolina are being digitized. It is anticipated that these data will be served on the Internet, possibly as soon as 2001. The photographs for the entire state are available from the U.S. Geological Survey.
The following refers to the status and availability of DOQQs produced from the 1993 black and white photography. Click the link for information about the status of color infra-red photography.
About Digital Orthophoto Quarter-Quadrangles:
Digital orthophotography is recognized throughout North Carolina as one of several critical geospatial data sets needed to effectively manage and use geographic information systems in statewide, regional and local databases and spatial applications. Orthophotography is needed as a base on which to collect and maintain other surface based data such as transportation, cadastral, and agricultural activities, and is highly effective when used in the presentation of natural phenomena, existing and historic conditions, and results of analysis.
The State Mapping Committee (SMAC) was directed by the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council to pursue the development and acquisition of digital orthophotography for the state. By Statement of Direction, the SMAC has been authorized to cooperate with the US Geological Survey on the development of Digital Orthophotography Quarter-Quadrangles (DOQQs) -- a project that satisfies SMAC requirements for digital imagery.
Joint Funding Agreements between the NC Geological Survey, the NC Department of Transportation, and the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis and the US Geological Survey were used beginning in 1995 to "jump start" the production of 1:12,000-scale (3.75-minute) DOQQs for the state. In a Joint Funding Agreement each state dollar is matched by a federal dollar. The state agencies named above have funded this statewide project.
The DOQQs are produced from 1993 NAPP photography; nominal pixel resolution is 1-3 meters. The source photography is black and white. The photographs were taken with a 6-inch lens; nominal flight height was 20,000 feet. Most photography was taken in March-April, 1993 (leaf-off). The source photography may be ordered as well.

Purchasing DOQQs:
The NC Geological Survey carries DOQQs in CD-ROM format. Purchase is by telephone, "over the counter," by mail or in person. We accept cash, check or money order, or credit card. All sales are final. State agencies may use Journal 10 entries. Call (919) 715-9718 for additional information; you may also contact us by e-mail at: email@example.com.
The cost is $7.55 plus state tax (for orders destined to NC addresses) per CD-ROM (total of $8.00). There is a nominal charge for shipping and handling. There are no discounts for multiple county orders or for government orders. The price is subject to change. The base price is based on reproduction costs.
DOQQs on tape may be purchased from the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis. Their pricing and distribution policies are different than the NCGS'; contact them for current prices and order specifications. Contact CGIA's Data Distribution Services by telephone at (919) 733-2090, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

DOQQ status statewide:
There is complete statewide coverage for the 1993 DOQQs. You can purchase the data (compressed JPEG) by county on CD-ROM. Contact the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis at (919) 733-2090 for the data on tape.
Production of county-based CD-ROMs using the 1993 data in compressed JPEG format is complete. Each CD-ROM will contain one county. These CDs are available through the NCGS.
As of March, 2000, you can view (and print) the 1993 data at http://www.ncmapnet.com The geospatial data cannot be downloaded from that site.

Color infrared photography in North Carolina
The entire state was flown using color infrared film in the spring of 1998; this is a jointly funded project with the US Geological Survey. Funds were committed to fly the entire state; funds are being sought to produce DOQQs of the images. It is unknown when these data will be available in digital format because of funding concerns.
Photography for the eastern and western thirds of the state were accepted from the 1998 flight. The central one-third of the state was reflown in the spring of 1999. Also a few small areas were reflown in 1999. The 1998 General Assembly appropriated one million dollars to digitize the photography and serve it on the Internet. Funds are being sought for the approximately two million additional dollars needs for state matching funds.
The first set of digital CIR data is to be delivered in July, 2000. This will consist of about 1,200 DOQQs. The data will be delivered in BIP format. It will be converted to Mr. Sid or JPEG format to be served on the Internet. It is anticipated that the CIR data will eventually be available on CD-ROM. The following CIR image is part of the Farmville NE DOQQ. Scroll past this image to see the status of DOQQ CIR in North Carolina.

After 'show pigs' mauled in Roby, donors helping students make it to competition
POSTED: 1:31 PM Nov 14 2012 UPDATED: 3:21 PM Nov 14 2012
A sad situation in Roby is now looking a little brighter.
Over the weekend, a pack of dogs mauled 13 show pigs at Roby High School.
In the last couple days, though, generous donors have given 10 pigs to the program.
Roby High School agriculture teacher Riley Barnett said he's confident the students will get the four more pigs they need to meet the deadline for the state competition.
People in the Big Country and in Oklahoma have offered the additional pigs.

When a traditional hotel ballroom makes the transition into a Las Vegas-style showroom, a new lighting plot is among many must-haves. The Earl Turner Theatre opened at the Harrah's Casino in New Orleans in May and revealed a lighting package that included the most up-to-date lighting technology on the market, such as 100 ETC Source Four® Ellipsoidals and 60 ETC Source Four® PARs, 24 High End Systems ColorMerges™, 18 HES Studio Spot® 250s, eight HES Studio Color® 250s, four HES Cyberlights®, 19 HES Dataflash® AF1000s™, Tomcat trussing, and a Flying Pig Systems WholeHog® III with an expander wing console that controls the whole thing.
LD Debbie Fowler was brought in to design and program the new rig at the request of the theatre's namesake, Earl Turner. Fowler had designed Turner's show at Harrah's in Laughlin, NV, after he had seen her work on a Righteous Brothers show. Architectural lighting designer John Levy specified, and Fowler was brought in at the last minute to design specifically for Turner's show. "By the time I became involved, all the fixtures were already picked out," she says, "so…I had the crew come in and move everything around, and we spent 212 hours programming the show."
According to Fowler, one of the biggest challenges in programming the show was Turner's style of music. "Earl's shows are very exciting, so they are very cue-intensive. One song has 85 cues!" she says. "I told Earl, 'I can program your show generically, and you can change it around if you want, or I can nail it.' He said, 'Nail it,' so that's why it took so long. Normally, it only takes 50 to 100 hours to program a show."
Another problem occurred when there was not enough power for the Cyberlights. Fowler had originally placed the fixtures on the lighting rig, but when she arrived, they were in the front of house. "The Cyberlights were going to be the workhorses of the system, and it was important to me to get those moved onto the stage, but they had no power," she says. "Plus, there are two huge columns in the middle of the room to work around, which is another reason I wanted the Cybers on stage; I wasn't going to get much use out of them out front."
The power problem was rectified after Harrah's brought in a team of electricians who fixed the problem in a few days, but another daunting aspect of the design dealt with the room itself — the low ceiling height only allowed for two levels of lighting, truss level and floor level. Since Fowler likes to have a variety of levels, this was a problem. Four ladders were built and equipped with ColorMerges and Studio Spots, giving Fowler "a whole new dimension." She put Cyberlights and ColorMerges at different heights on the floor booms, so Fowler was able to light on a multitude of levels.
"Lighting position, to me, is one of the most important things in lighting a show," Fowler explains. "I don't typically use a lot of front light in my designs, and the original design [in the showroom] was very front light heavy, so we moved a lot of those fixtures on stage. I feel like you can get a lot more depth lighting that type of show from the side, back, and overhead."
After Fowler spent three weeks programming, she hit the road with Sheena Easton and then moved on to tour with Dionne Warwick throughout the summer. Before she left New Orleans, however, she made sure that Harrah's in-house lighting director Joel Burkhart knew the ins and outs because she wanted to make doubly sure that Earl Turner would look fabulous in his eponymous new showroom.

SAGU Hoopsters Split in Tyler
Lady Lions fall in closing moments; Lions prevail by 10
TYLER, Texas -- The Southwestern Assemblies of God University men's and women's basketball teams played at Texas College tonight with mixed results.
The Lady Lions dropped their 10th straight game, 59-57, losing the lead in the final two minutes. SAGU, now 3-10 overall and 0-7 in the Red River Athletic Conference, outrebounded the Lady Steers, 34-24, and outscored them in baskets, 48-43.
Texas College (2-11, 2-6 in RRAC) hit a clutch three-pointer with ninety-seconds to play to take the lead for good. The Lady Lions turned the ball over 35 times, missed some late free throws and a lane violation cost them in the closing moments.
A complete report will be posted later tonight.
Meanwhile, the Lions overcame a sloppy first half by scoring 52 second half points to trim the Steers, 74-64.
Rallying from a 15-point deficit, SAGU combined outstanding play from their bench with key three-point baskets to build a 20-point advantage. They costed from there to improve their record to 11-2 in all games. They are tied for third in the RRAC with a 5-2 ledger.
Texas College slipped to 7-7 and 3-5.
A detailed report is forthcoming.
Both SAGU teams play at home this Thursday and Saturday, Jan. 12 and 14. Both games will be broadcast in HD on SAGU TV.

If a magical incantation were to switch all the place names in Benjamin Black'Äôs suspenseful new novel, Holy Orders, from Dublin and Inishowen to Barcelona or Avignon, and swap the surnames from Flynne and O'ÄôConnell to Schwartz or Yamazaki, you'Äôd still know within 20 pages that you were reading a novel set in Ireland. It is something about the brooding tone, the competing influences of the church and the bottle, the relentless bad weather and the pervasive atmosphere of despair. Whatever the secret, Holy Orders has it in spades. Early on, a long-standing character from the Quirke series is killed off, his battered body discovered in a Dublin canal by a trysting couple. Medical examiner Quirke is summoned to the scene, and he realizes with a start, 'ÄúI know this person.'ÄĚ His investigation quickly lands him in conflict with the organization that, behind the scenes, essentially runs 1950s Ireland: the Catholic Church. Quirke and the Church have had an ongoing adversarial relationship since his youth, much of which was spent in a priest-run orphanage. This latest case will do nothing but add fuel to that particular fire in ways neither he nor the reader will anticipate. Troubling and thought-provoking on many levels, Holy Orders is one of those rare mysteries that truly transcends the genre.
While we are on the subject of 'Äútroubling and thought-provoking,'ÄĚ those words would apply equally well to Pierre Lemaitre'Äôs Alex, a peculiar tale of a kidnapping that is anything but what it appears to be. The title character, Alex Pr√Ö¬Ĺvost, is snatched, seemingly at random, from a Parisian side street. Her abductor trusses her up, dumps her into the back of a nondescript tradesman'Äôs van and spirits her away to an abandoned warehouse. Well, not entirely abandoned: There are rats'ÄĒa multitude of hungry, red-eyed rats. And with each hour that passes, the rats grow hungrier and bolder. Investigating the crime is Camille Verhoeven, a police inspector whose diminutive stature belies his oversize investigator'Äôs brain. But even a brilliant investigator needs clues. Early on, there isn'Äôt the slightest indication of the identity of the abductee, and there is only the word of a witness to suggest that the crime even took place at all. And then, inexplicably, the clues that do appear suggest that the kidnapped woman is not entirely the hapless victim she first seemed; indeed, she may be quite the predator in her own right'ÄĒor not. And that is the beauty of Alex: You don'Äôt really know until the jarring conclusion. Lemaitre'Äôs American debut is clever, deliciously twisted and truly not to be missed.
By now everyone has heard of the ubiquitous Nigerian Internet scams in which a mark is emailed by someone claiming to have access to a fortune he (or occasionally she) needs assistance in retrieving. The mark is offered a huge chunk of change for his help in what promises to be a simple banking transaction; needless to say, the huge chunk of change actually moves out of the mark'Äôs bank account, not into it. The name for this scam, 419, serves as the title of Will Ferguson'Äôs riveting global tale of one woman'Äôs revenge on the scammers who precipitated her father'Äôs financial ruin and suicide. What sets 419 apart from the typical sting novel is that it is told from the perspectives of all the players: the family of the mark; the police investigating the suicide; the Nigerian Internet wizards who troll chatrooms and blogs in search of likely marks; and the wealthy Lagos crime bosses who take a big piece of every ill-gotten dollar funneled through their city. Surprisingly, the reader is led relentlessly toward a certain sympathy for each of the factions involved, a testament to Ferguson'Äôs prodigious skills as a storyteller. Oh, and follow the money'ÄĒwhere it ends up is beyond startling!
Louise Penny'Äôs 2012 novel The Beautiful Mystery ended as something of a cliffhanger, with S√Ö¬ĺret√֬Šdu Qu√Ö¬Ĺbec Chief Inspector Armand Gamache left to preside over a seriously gutted homicide department, and his right-hand man, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, left to battle addiction demons on his own. There will be some resolution to these issues and more in Penny'Äôs latest Gamache novel, How¬†the¬†Light¬†Gets¬†In, but not necessarily in the way you might think'ÄĒor for that matter, in the way you might hope! Gamache'Äôs investigation into a murder will take him once again to the small, snow-covered Qu√Ö¬Ĺbec village of Three Pines, where the last remaining member of a once-famous family of quintuplets planned to visit before someone broke into her Montreal home and clubbed her to death. This would be a worthy plotline in and of itself, but it quickly becomes subsumed in something larger, with repercussions that will be felt all the way up the Provincial hierarchy and beyond. Ambitiously plotted, sensitively staffed and beautifully written, How the Light Gets In handily elevates Penny'Äôs already lofty bar.
This follow-up to the Agatha Award-winning The Beautiful Mystery finds Chief Inspector Gamache and the Homicide Division that he has created at his beloved S√Ľretť du Quťbec at their lowest ebb. His formerly top-notch division is tatters, his crack agents have scattered to other units, and his cherished lieutenant, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, has been set on a path of addiction and destruction by Gamache's greatest enemy, the head of the S√Ľretť. It appears that Gamache is being herded toward retirement by the forces arrayed against him. In the middle of this corrupt bureaucratic war, there is one more murder involving Gamache's friends in the village of Three Pines. And as Gamache works tirelessly to solve the crime, he uses the cover of routine police work to show his friends, his remaining allies, and, most of all, his loyal readers that he might appear down, but he is never out. VERDICT Penny's mysteries are really character studies. There is police procedure being followed, but the forensics take second place to Gamache's absolutely fascinating probe into the characters of every single person involved in the investigation: the police, the witnesses, and especially the suspects. He cares passionately about each person and makes the reader care. Highly recommended for mystery lovers, readers who enjoy character-driven mysteries, and those who like seeing good triumph and evil get its just desserts.

Complex characterizations and sophisticated plotting distinguish Agatha-winner Penny's masterful ninth novel (after 2012's The Beautiful Mystery). The devastating conclusion to the previous book saw Jean-Guy Beauvoir abandon his mentor, Chief Insp. Armand Gamache of the Quebec S√Ľretť, and return to substance abuse. Things have never looked bleaker for the unassuming and empathic Gamache. A corrupt superior has gutted his homicide department, and the agents he now supervises treat their cases with blatant indifference. Amid all this personal and professional turmoil, Gamache lands a strange murder case. There's no obvious motive for why somebody killed elderly Constance Ouellet--the only living member of a set of quintuplets who were national celebrities in their youth--by striking her in the head with a lamp. Fair-play clues lead to a surprising solution to the murder, while Gamache's battle to save his career unfolds with subtlety and intelligence. Once again, Penny impressively balances personal courage and faith with heartbreaking choices and monstrous evil. First printing of 300,000; author tour.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The holds on this route are small and some are savagely sharp. A Cut Above? Yeah, I got several cut above the first knuckle. I tried this in a post-desert-trip skin-peeling state and paid dearly. After 1/2 tries I went away with 1/2 dozen sliced, oozing fingers and without a clean TR. My partner (Peter Spindloe) got it, however. Thick finger pads are required.
There isn't any. Still, the route's crux is reasonably close to the ground and the landing is flat. This is originally a T.R., but would make a reasonable boulder problem with a few crash pads, or a 'headpoint' after [rehearsal].

They say there's no such thing as a free lunch. That may be true for most of us, but if you work in a doctor's office free lunches are frequently standard fare.
If you're a doctor, free dinners may also be part of the deal. That's because drug companies spend billions to get doctors' attention and food is a great inducement.
Pharmaceutical drug representatives bring pizza, tacos or other goodies to hospitals, clinics or offices. This allows them to nurture relationships with important gate-keepers like receptionists or nurses. The reps' reward? They get to talk to a busy doctor for a few minutes.
There are now 90,000 of these sales professionals knocking on doctors' doors. Over $12 billion is devoted to this effort compared to almost $3 billion spent on television and magazine ads aimed at consumers.
As a result of the never-ending barrage of sales pitches, doctors are making it harder for drug reps to get face time. But pharmaceutical companies keep coming up with innovative approaches. A doctor who doesn't want to spend precious time in the office talking to drug reps might choose to have dinner at a nice restaurant, completely free except for listening to the pitch.
If the doctor isn't inclined to spend even that much time, some companies offer the opportunity to dine and dash. The rep buys an upscale take-out dinner for the physician's family, and while the doctor is waiting for the order to be readied, he or she is expected to talk with the salesperson.
Some companies specifically train their sales force to make the best use of these diminishing moments, utilizing the 30 seconds they might have when they spot a doctor in the parking lot.
Does all this wining and dining work? The drug industry knows that face-to-face contact affects prescribing patterns.
Most physicians maintain that they are not swayed by food, trinkets or junkets to medical meetings in exotic locales. But the data disagree. Research suggests that doctors are just like other humans. They respond to gifts and attention.
According to an analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Jan. 19, 2000), doctors who attend continuing medical education events hosted by pharmaceutical companies end up prescribing more of the sponsor's drugs. This is especially true when the company pays for travel and lodging.
Of course, there really is no free lunch. The tab is ultimately charged to patients who must pay for their medicines. Over the last decade prescription prices have skyrocketed.
Part of that increase comes from all the drug ads you see on television. But far more comes from the intense one on one marketing effort made by the pharmaceutical sales force. A good drug company rep can earn more than $100,000 per year, and many companies employ thousands of them.
Patients should get the best medicine for their particular condition based on objective data, not because a salesperson delivered drug samples and pizza the week before. Perhaps it's time for doctors to realize that their patients are paying a steep price for all those free lunches.

Police said a 29-year-old Pell City woman was killed early Wednesday morning by her brother.
30-year-old Brett Christopher Love is accused of killing his sister, Lindsey Michelle Love, around 3 am in the 100 block of 31st Street.
Love was taken into custody and charged with murder.
"I can't understand why someone would do something like that," said neighbor Willie Mae Ellis. "What made him snap?"
Police wouldn't release a motive. It's unclear how Love died, but police said it was not by gunfire.
Love's toddler was home at the time of the homicide. He was not injured.
"It happened too close to home," said neighbor Tonya Guy. "I've never known anything like this to happen around here."

Jason Donovan reprises role in 'Priscilla'
12:00pm Friday 15th February 2013 in What's on in Lancashire By Simone O'Kane
HE may be well known for his Technicolor Dreamcoat but he is also known for being a man of many hats.
With a successful career on stage, television and selling 13 million albums worldwide, Jason Donovan is even more famous now than when he burst on to the scene in the 1980s.
And despite a rocky road along the way the former Neighbours heart-throb has maintained his cool and is still a much-loved household name, touring worldwide, still performing to millions.
Now in Manchester, this is Jason's second time playing Tick, in the smash-hit musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert, which originally opened in the West End.
"I couldn't turn the tour down because I just loved doing it so much previously. It was a very unique opportunity to be able to take the performance elsewhere and the show should do well again because it was really popular in London," said Jason who reached the final of last year's Strictly Come Dancing.
"It's amazing that the musical is happening again as Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical originally opened in Australia in 2006. But really it's an amazing storyline and for an Australian like me it's magic - just like a marriage made in heaven I suppose.
"It is a wonderful story about a celebration of life with so many twists and turns along the way.
"The rehearsals are going really well and everything else is just falling in to place," said Jason who was also a finalist in ITV's smash hit I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
Based on the smash-hit movie, Priscilla, the musical is the heart-warming, uplifting adventure of three friends who get on board a battered old bus searching for love and friendship and they end up finding more than they could have ever dreamed of.
"At the moment I am really happy doing what I am doing and I am enjoying being a husband and a father to my wonderful children. I love my family and they are really supportive of everything that I do and yes, they will be coming to see me in Manchester. Life is real busy. At the moment there are plans for me to carry on performing on stage but sadly, there are no plans for recording a new album as much as I love recording. As for television - I would always be happy to go back to TV if the offers were there," said Jason who rose to fame playing Scott Robinson in Neighbours in the 1980s alongside Kylie Minogue.
As well as Priscilla Queen of the Desert his other West End credits include the title role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Caractacus Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
He has also toured and starred in Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, Frank N Furter in The Rocky Horror Show.
And if you think he's been around forever, the 44-year-old still knows how to keep himself busy and admitted that he is planning on staying around.
"I still have to get out there and put on a good show and no matter what that is the most important thing of all. No matter how much work is offered to you, you don't get far without working really hard. I think that if you love what you are doing then you'll never get bored. That's why I am still around!"
- Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Manchester Opera House until Saturday, February 23. Box office: 0844 871 3018

Departmental Colloquium
X-ray Scattering Studies of Nanostructured Polymer Films
Detlef M.SmilgiesStaff Scientist, CHESS Cornell Synchrotron
Small-angle x-ray scattering under grazing incidence (GISAXS) offers
a unique opportunity to study nanostructured films. Their structure can
be characterized in a non-destructive way and under in-situ conditions.
Moreover, real-time studies on the order of seconds allow to probe the
kinetics of film self-organization. Hence GISAXS complements traditional
high-resolution imaging techniques such as electron microscopy and atomic
force microscopy. In my talk selected examples will be given illustrating
the capabilities of the GISAXS technique applied to thin films of block
copolymers and nanocomposites.

Gov. Signs, Questions Okla. Anti-Immigrant Bill
Posted May 10, 2007 4:29 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
An anti-immigrant bill signed by the Oklahoma state governor this week won't be effective until Nov. 1, but is already raising concerns about how it will be enforced.
Among those expressing such concerns, the Houston Chronicle reports: Gov. Brad Henry, a Democrat. "State leaders should closely monitor the impact of [the law] in the months and years to come to ensure that it doesn't have any unintended consequences," Henry said Tuesday, after signing it into law.
The new law requires employers to screen workers to make sure they are legal, denies state services to illegal immigrants, and makes it a crime to harbor one. Although the total number of undocumented immigrants in the state is estimated as a relatively scant 75,000 or less, the law's sponsor, State Rep. Randy Terrell, a Republican, says his law is intended to make sure the problem remains minor by discouraging illegal immigration to the state.
Two other states currently have similar laws, according to the Chronicle: Colorado and Georgia.

The greatest shopping friend known to women may have just arrived at Bloomingdale's at South Coast Plaza.
The Me-Ality takes the guessing out of sizing, style and best fit when it comes to finding that perfect pair of jeans. I recently tested it and was pleasantly surprised at its measurement accuracy.
Here's how it works: You step inside this special booth — fully clothed — for about 10 seconds where scanners take your measurements via a special imaging system. When it's done, you get a bar code with your specific data, which is used to help select the perfect size and fit for you in a style of your choice — boot cut, skinny or straight leg. No endless trips to the fitting room to try on various denim.
You can even sort the selection by your preferred designers: AG, Hudson, Citizens of Humanity and so on. Me-Ality will also tell you which styles and brands are your best fit. The results are pretty spot-on and even better is that prices are listed. And your profile is kept in the database and can be updated as well.
The Me-Ality sizing station in the ladies' denim section of Bloomingdale's at South Coast Plaza, 3333 Bristol St.; (714) 824-4600.

Hi all,
My application runs a proprietary protocol over a standard HTTP over a TCP socket (bound to port 8080) which works perfectly. The normal round trip (measured by the application as well as by server sniffer) for the local network (UMTS) is around 400ms-600ms, except for the initial request/response where the round trip can measure up to 3 times as much (i.e. around 1800ms). Can anyone shed some light over this phenomena?
I also made sure that:
1. Latency is not due to TCP 3 way connection handshake (SYN and SYN/ACK) that is preformed before the request is issued when the TCP connection is established.
2. Latency is not due to DNS resolving because server runs a static IP
I will emphasize that the application I'm running has some real-time criteria meaning that the first request/response latency is crucial. Am I doing something wrong or is it normal network behavior? is it possible to reduce this latency? how?
Thanks Danny

I was looking into a few new options for the infamous point guard debacle and found a couple intriguing ones.
1. Patrick (Patty) Mills- The Trailblazers decided to sign second round draft pick Armon Johnson instead of re-signing Patty Mills. Mills was never really given a fair chance to play in Portland because of a rookie injury. He may be more of a scoring first point guard, but I am very intrigued by his speed. He could come cheap and still has potential. I think in this up tempo offense Mills could thrive.
2. Juan Dixon- Yes that Juan Dixon! Okay really now, after he went overseas and was suspended he began a changed man. I and he still thinks he could have some left in the tank. Here is the link to the story http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=16983. He too may be more of a two guard , but he can play the point and be successful.
What do you guys think, i just thought I would throw these out there

Accommodation Netherlands Amsterdam Budget
Narrow down the 303 results:Map View
Amsterdam is so much more than tulips, bicycles and the Red Light District, though it does have those things in abundance. This city built on canals has diverse neighbourhoods, sated in culture and history.
Whether you're in search of the bohemian, free-thinking Amsterdam or a perfect destination for book-lovers, you'll find a district here to suit you. The compact centre is easy to navigate, whether by bike, on foot or on the water – and each area has a good range of budget accommodation to choose from.
The main tourist destination, the central area of Amsterdam attracts tourists to its main squares – Dam and Nieuwmarkt. Dam has the best of the historic buildings, whilst Nieuwmarkt offers Holland's take on Chinatown. The Old Centre is also where the Red Light District can be found, but the bars, cafes and restaurants of the area nowadays attract a wider range of visitors than the traditional stag party gangs. The so-called 'New Side' of Amsterdam's centre is relative to the ancient history of this place – it is still full of buildings dating back to the medieval times. However, it provides a quieter and more intellectual pace of life compared to the Old Side and is a book-lover's paradise. It's home to the Amsterdam Museum and Spui Square, which boasts three large bookstores. Plenty of budget accommodation can be found here.
Once a traditional, working-class neighbourhood, Jordaan has been completely regenerated and is now a very popular district with young, trendy things. It still retains a bohemian spirit, attracting artists of all types and keeping up a long tradition of folk music. It is the perfect place to explore art galleries, boutique restaurants and quirky markets - and it is just a five-minute walk to the main sights of the Old Centre. Hostel and budget accommodation can be found here, as well as mid-range hotels.
This upmarket area surrounding the Old Centre boasts some impressive architecture and is also home to the Anne Frank Museum, so it's the perfect neighbourhood for those seeking to soak up the history of Amsterdam. The Negen Straatjes – nine streets sandwiched between two canals – provide an alternative shopping destination with plenty of independent fashion boutiques to choose from. By night, this is a main clubbing area, and with plenty of well-priced hotels, you won't have far to stumble back to in the wee hours of the morning.
Why not make the most of Amsterdam's canals and choose a houseboat stay? Providing easy access to just about any district you choose, houseboats offer competitive prices compared with mid-range and budget hotels – as well as a unique experience. Some houseboats are on a B&B basis, suitable for solo travellers or couples, whilst others are available as self-catering 'apartment' boats, good for larger groups.
Best place to stay in Amsterdam...The owners are amazing and they will do anything to help. The room is so clean. Breakfast is provided daily and is more then you can eat. Plus they stock the fridge with more food and drink then you need. I told all my friends it was like staying with family that mind there own business. I will be back as it was the best hotel I have stayed in while visiting Europe.
My husband and I treated ourselves to a short break in Amsterdam to celebrate our wedding anniversary and chose Dianne's B&B because it had such good reviews. We were not disappointed. The accommodation is delightful - much more spacious than it appeared from the photographs, and beautifully presented. Dianne is a lovely, warm, friendly lady, who made us feel really welcome when we arrived, asking us what we would like her to buy for our breakfasts, showing us places to visit and recommending some fantastic restaurants - she was even kind enough to book a table for us. (And do go the Ko Chong Thai, its fabulous, and the cafe Dianne recommended for the best apple cake is also not to be missed!!) The apartment is about a 15-20 minute walk from Central Station and easy to find. The Jordaan is a residential area, so free from riotous crowds and very pretty; it is near enough to most places of interest to be able to walk there, but there is public transport nearby if you prefer. We actually walked everywhere, it is such a beautiful city we didn't want to miss anything! It was lovely to come back in the evening and be able to sit on the veranda surrounded by gorgious plants and gardens and relax with a chilled glass of wine. Wonderful!! I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough, and we will definitely return. And Dianne - the Delpht has pride of place on our shelf - thankyou!
We had a really lovely stay in Amsterdam made even better by Easy Nuh Man being a real home from home. The whole place was really clean and fresh. The room itself was very spacious with high ceilings and the bed soooo comfortable I struggled to get out of it! Big airy kitchen with everything you might need if you want to cook or just prepare some breakfast. Nice big windows everywhere too. Great shower and use of washing machine. Location is perfect - lots very nearby but not noisy at all. Really good street for shopping and 2 mins from the museums and Vondelpark. Nice restaurants nearby if you don't want to go into the centre but trams on the doorstep if you do which are very quick and easy to use. Really nice touches like fresh flowers in the room and weather forecast for our stay! Nick was a great host and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely stay here again!
Eerste Helmersstraat 34 1054 DHOutstanding 97%
our stay on antonia houseboat was amazing from start to end! we were looked after really well- the woman who owned the boat even had homemade mushroom soup and fresh bread waiting for us when we arrived! the fridge was stocked up with loads of food everyday which was great. the boat was very cozy, comfortable and relaxing! i would highly recommend this place to anyone and look forward to staying there again. they really bent over backwards to make sure we had the best stay.
Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 88-IIExcellent 94%
The best thing about this property is the location!!!!! The owner is very friendly and nice. The apartment is smth. like 10 square meters, so in case you are a bit bigger dont go there, you can hardly sit on the tolilet. But this is all manageble and u get used to it. The appartment should be dusted as whatever we touched was coverd with dust like it was there from the last winter. Also, you can hear people burping on the street as teh windows are old and not double galzing. :) All in all stay there to save the money, and you will be located in the walking distance from everything in amsterdam.
An extremely nice BB with nice friendly staff in a perfect location to see Amsterdam. The staff made us feel at home and welcome and were helpful if we needed directions or advice etc. Great bedroom with good facilitys. Cheers Atila
Our stay at The Crooked House was ideal. It's near public transport and downtown. It's comfortable and clean. We recommended. Martin made us feel like at home.
A very nice B&B located close to the Jordaan area. Room is clean and comfortable and most of all, the area is peacefull without the typical noise coming from the streets of the center of the city. 15 minutes walk from Amsterrdam Central Station.
An experience to repeat the situation of the ideal boat for relaxing, clean, well maintained, near of the central station. Joanna is lovely and will provide bicycles, essential in Amsterdam.
this hostel is about 15 km from centre of Amsterdam but this was not a problem as they have an hourly shuttle which takes you to local station and then it is about 15 min on metro to central station and about 30 min to airport. staff are very friendly and have good knowledge of many languages and on how to find a large number of interesting places to visit, site and facilities are very clean and well laid out and very good value for the money, they have on-site computers and wire less connection if you have your own laptop. also they have a very well equipped kitchen with free coffee and tea if you wish overall I would strongly recommend and would use again. so enjoy with regards Peter Hallett
Great location and fantastic value for money. Staff extremely accommodating. Breakfast was exceptional (not cooked). Facilities basic and rooms tiny. If over 6ft tall it would be problematical but in truth it is a ship so hardly surprising. All in all it couldn't be better for the money.
Create your own travel plan including Amsterdam as one of your stops. You can use it to store all your research (even hotels found on other websites!)
Do you have questions about Amsterdam? You might try asking in our active travel forums and see if anyone else has been there.

Hardship hits the family of a Lubbock police officer for the third time this year.
Thirteen-year-old Chelsea Childers was in stable condition Monday night. Chelsea broke her back in a weekend car accident.
You'll remember it was her father, Corporal Scott Childers, who suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident last month. Then just last week, police arrested a woman for stealing from a benefit fund intended to help the Childers family.
A family spokesperson says Chelsea broke her back on Saturday. We're told she was riding with friends in Lubbock County, when the car crashed, Chelsea was thrown from the car.
This comes a month after Corporal Childers lost control of his motorcycle on a trip to New Mexico. Childers was not wearing a helmet, but is improving at University Medical Center.
Chelsea is at Covenant Medical Center, and both face long and expensive recoveries.
"Just Scott's situation is going to be a major financial burden for them. He's looking at another month in the hospital at least, and continual rehab from there on. We're trying to do everything we can to help out, and we're hoping to get some help from outside the police department also," Sergeant Clay Winters said.
A fund set up to assist Corporal Childers will now be shared with his daughter.
We alerted you to a theft from that fund last week, but police assure us the account is safe with the arrest of 32-year-old Lorianne Sauceda. She's charged with stealing between $500 and $1,500 from the account.
Sergeant Winters says the stolen money has been returned. If you would like to help the family, donations can be made at WesTex Federal Credit Union.
Winters says the department and the family greatly appreciate the community's support.
Woman Charged With Stealing From Police Fund
A local credit union employee is now charged with stealing from a police benefit fund.

Bumped from the diaries. We wish Kahlil a full recovery. Hopefully he will get to shine under a new coach. The question I have which I posted in the comment thread why did Dorrell and his staff send Kahlil back in the game after he got hurt the first time? GO BRUINS. -N
Perelman cites ESPN in reporting that Bell's knee injury suffered on Saturday will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Not reported on ESPN.com yet, or any other site I have found as of this moment.
Also watch out for this being cited as yet another excuse from the dorrellistas over the next few weeks, as without Bell, I don't see much production coming out of this offense.
UPDATE: Dohn now reporting that Bell tore his ACL, confirming Perelman's report that Bell is done for the season."The results of an MRI show that UCLA running back Kahlil Bell has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He injured the knee in the first quarter of last Saturday's game at Washington State. Surgery will be scheduled after the swelling in his knee subsides. Obviously, he is done for the season, and likely will not be ready for spring practice.

Not sure if you're aware or not, but the Green Bay Packers are hosting the Denver Broncos this Sunday in a professional football game. I will be here to field any questions you may have about the team, front office, coaching staff, practice squad, Wisconsin beers, whatever. I am a resident of Wisconsin, and live less than 2 hours from Lambeau Field. You guys probably know the drill, so now, essentially, I'm rambling to get to the word count I need to get to the minimum.
Injury report:
RB Ryan Grant suffered a kidney bruise (sounds painful) against the Bears last week, and his status for the game is uncertain. If he is inactive, look for James Starks to get the bulk of his carries (they had been splitting them so far). Rarely used 2011 3rd round pick Alex Green may also get an opportunity to showcase himself as well.
RT Bryan Bulaga had a knee injury in the same game, and will probably miss this week. Marshall Newhouse will be his substitute if he is unable to go.
S Nick Collins had a neck injury in week two, and it was reported he will miss the remainder of the season; though surprisingly the team has yet to put him on IR.
DE Mike Neal (knee) & OLB Frank Zombo (broken scapula) have missed every game of the regular season so far, and all indications point to them missing this game as well.
All right, fire away!
