PLATTSBURGH — It was anything but pretty but, in the end, Plattsburgh State did just enough to score a 51-47 come-from-behind victory over Norwich University in women's non-conference basketball action at Memorial Hall Tuesday.
The Cardinals, who struggled on offense all night long and trailed, essentially, from start-to-finish, mustered just enough offense down the stretch to pull out a hard-fought, come-from-behind victory.
Trailing 46-38, with just under five minutes remaining, Plattsburgh put together a game-deciding 13-1 run, capped by a long 3-point field goal by Kathleen Payne from deep in the corner. A defensive stop and a pair of clutch free throws by Brooke Reifinger inside the final minute of play sealed the win.
Cardinals coach Cheryl Cole was happy to come away with the victory but was anything but pleased with her team's offensive performance on a night when the Plattsburgh converted on just 19-of-77 attempts (24.7%) and two-of-17 (11.8%) from beyond the arc, for the game.
"(Norwich) put in a good game plan against us, packing their defense inside but, make no mistake about it, this was on us," Cole said. "For some reason, we just got off to a real bad start, started getting real casual with the ball, played with no sense of urgency, kept missing shots and struggled, really, all night long."
Both teams sputtered in the early going as the game remained scoreless for nearly five full minutes before the Cadets went on a 6-0 run to distance themselves from the Cards. Norwich, led by Christine Brammer's eight first-half points, would extend the lead to 26-19 by the break. Bremmer would finish with a team-high 10 points and eight rebounds to pace the Cadets.
"We were actually fortunate to be down just seven at the half," Cole said. "That's how bad things were in the first half for us but, fortunately, our defense was playing pretty well and truthfully they weren't shooting the ball all that much better. Those two things really kept us in the game early or else it could've been a lot worse."

Here's the latest batch.
Bro, do you even lift?
Are you not entertained!?
McGloin really lit up Woodstock that year
This is one creature nobody should mess with.
This is why you never give McGloin tequila.
When Booth tried to assassinate McGloin, the bullet just bounced off his skull and back into Booths face. McGloin was later quoted as saying "Damn I thought it was just a mosquito."
McGloin is the most decorated soldier in American history. He never even joined the Army.
The man's got soul.
Say hello to my little McGloin!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Mcgloin!
The cover of their famous album, McGloin Road.
McGloin or McGloin. There is no try.
Here he is at Superbowl XI, dishing out the pain like its oatmeal at an old folks home.
McGloin lighting it up at Super Bowl XV.
Remember when he ran all over the Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII?
As always if you have any sweet suggestions, I'll take them under consideration. The only reason I would do a 3rd edition of these is if I have some really sweet ideas.

Authors: Anne Winslow and Andrew Gerhart
Popular portrayals of Patagonia in southern Chile have depicted it as a vast wilderness devoid of all human activity, but toward various ends. On the one hand, it has been heralded by conservationists for its wild purity. Indeed, northerners have raised the cry to protect it so effectively that it has become an icon for untouched wilderness the world over, capturing European and North American imaginations (and clothing their bodies in its labels). But for very different purposes, this same wilderness motif has often been extended from the land to the ocean to justify the rapid expansion of salmon farming to exploit vast seascapes left idle.
As flawed as such portrayals are of its landmass, those of the Patagonian coastlines and seascapes where salmon farming has historically occurred are completely unfounded. These areas have an old and rich cultural history of marine tenure in a variety of forms--such as kelp farming, oyster and mussel growing, urchin and loco collecting, and artisanal fishing. Thus, as industrial salmon farming grew in the region it inevitably ran into those who opposed its new forms of marine appropriation.
This visualization begins an effort to document this opposition in its various manifestations. It has been divided among three main forms of contestation to salmon farming coming from artisanal fishermen, indigenous people, and, most importantly, salmon workers themselves.

Walter and McBean Galleries
Living in Studio Kuchar
Thursday, March 8 - Saturday, April 21, 2012
Walter and McBean Galleries
Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 11:00am - 6:00pm
San Francisco Art Institute
800 Chestnut Street
San Francisco,
Living in Studio Kuchar highlights the inimitable genius of independent film legend and SFAI faculty member George Kuchar, who died in September 2011. Coinciding with the exhibition, a campus-wide special event, SFAI Celebrates the Life and Work of George Kuchar, will follow the opening reception on March 8.
Kuchar's wildly original vision—tawdry yet tender, perversely humorous, and deeply personal—fueled a body of work spanning more than 200 films and videos, as well as paintings, drawings, comics, and writing. Beloved by generations of students, Kuchar had taught at the San Francisco Art Institute since 1971, where he and his students in "AC/DC Psychotronic Teleplays" and the sequel course "Electro-graphic Sinema" made melodrama parodies with minuscule budgets and remarkable spirit.
Living in Studio Kuchar situates Kuchar's work in the specific locale and community of SFAI, which for four decades served as a site of experimentation and collaboration; a network of students, filmmakers, and friends; and his emotional home. The exhibition will transform the galleries into an active experience for audiences: Installations will reproduce Kuchar's home studio, and there will be a self-serve VHS tape viewing area, a listening station of soundtrack records from Kuchar's collection, and an interactive filmmaking space where visitors are invited to use costumes and props to make their own Kuchar-esque films.
Other works on view will include seminal films such as Hold Me While I'm Naked (1966), ranked as one of the 100 Best Films of the 20th Century by the Village Voice; class films made with SFAI students; selections from the long-running project "Weather Diaries" (including Hot Spell, the last video Kuchar completed before his death in September 2011); and drawings and comics. The exhibition will also feature videos by both local and international artists—John Waters, Todd Solondz, Lisa Blatt, Miguel Calderon, Tim Sullivan, and Nao Bustamante, among others—that focus on Kuchar's influence and mentorship.
Born in New York in 1942, Kuchar began making 8mm movies in the 1950s with his twin brother, Mike. They soon became central to the underground, avant-garde film scene, screening work alongside Andy Warhol, Kenneth Anger, and Stan Brakhage. Critic Roger Ebert has called the Kuchars "legends in the world of experimental film," and theorist Gene Youngblood named George one of the great artists in the history of the moving image.
Kuchar's film and video work has screened around the globe in cinemas, festivals, and major museums. Recent honors include the exhibition George Kuchar: Pagan Rhapsodies at MoMA PS1 in New York; the addition of his 1977 short film I, An Actress to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry; and his selection for the 2012 Whitney Biennial, to be held March 1 through May 27, 2012 at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Shirt: Morrissey - November Spawned A Monster (Reproduction)
Color: Silver
Brand: Alstyle
Source: I would rarely a sunday goes by where the the thought doesn't cross my mind, Everyday is Like Sunday. Its true. Like when someone says "I Can't Go Out Tonight"…my mind always feels the need to say "Cause You haven't Got a Stitch to wear???"
well its Sunday. and this was the alt version i made of the black shirt. even tho I'm black on the inside doesn't mean i want to every shirt to be black on the outside. so i made 2 silver and 2 white of each size. its sad but no one buys shirts that aren't black sometimes. i enjoy color. and variety. I even made the white ones which white ink. so that when you shirt dulls and fades the white ink will still be white and it will have more depth. do you care? probably not.

Shirt: the Smiths - Ask German 12" (Reproduction)
Color: Black
Brand: Tultex
Source: I look at lots of T-shirts on the internets. lots. i always have this sad sigh pop out of my chest every time i see some bootleg shirt that not only looks horrible but really had zero thought put into it. i guess to make a dollar that was the thought. maybe I'm just being too personal cause this is coming form a guy who literally 20% of the time he is listing to music it is the Smiths or Morrissey.
so I was thinking of great sleeves that would make great album covers and this one came into mind in particular. the German 12" version of "Ask."
its nice right? a slightly different L shaped logo unique to this sleeve, and it just stood out. normally most of you saw this:
which i was going to make as well and thought it would be cool to pick whichever country your was from but it was too expensive at the printer. so i only made this one.
for some reason the sleeve was changed in Germany later to this cover of Colin Campbell:
but i really hate square album art that gets cut off and doesn't really lend it self well to shirt art. see pet peeve above.
So why did it get made? i dunno, cause i though tit would look good and deserved it i guess. you know sometimes you don't want to let things die away without showing it the respect it deserves. I'm trying to do that one smiths shirt at a time.

Shirt: Morrissey - World Peace Is None Of Your Business
Source: So i got my Moz pre order shirt this week for the new album. from a dude who has a merch problem i gotta say i was slightly disappointed. its just not a very good looking design / print job. so many options that could have been and yet this poorly printed album cover is the design they go with. Poor Moz looks like he has a case of Jaundice like his live has been failing for 6 months, he is yellow and just not good looking.
I guess i just don't understand why you would make this if you know it can't be printed properly. I've taken a picture so you can see a close up (Click the image to enlarge)
you will see its not horrible, its just not quality you expect from a life long career of great art / design. i duont know why I'm bitching really i think maybe cause when i make something i take a lot of care and pride in the details and feel disappointed when you (i) are producing better quality merch than the artist themselves. who knows. i guess i am really happy the Moz man is still around giving me music and merch to enjoy so i should just shut the fuck up. stoked there is a new album and i hope more future shows for you to cancel.

Source: this is some Elvis shirt right here huh? I really love this dude and his ability to keep it cool in his late 50's (55 to be exact) i think he is the same age as my mom. but can you imagine this fool being your dad? keep you on your toes for sure your game would have to be tight. "oh son, you are going to leave the house in that shirt?" yeah… i didn't think so. "Hey dad remember that time you wrote How Son Is Now, that was cool huh?"
a person can dream. but maybe for those of you that are parents it will make you rethink your game. who knows maybe the Mozzer should write a parenting book. also here is a pic from truetoyou.net of the 2014 Tour Merch in case any of you are headed out to see the tour provided he doesn't cancel.

Day: 985Shirt: Morrissey - Moz AngelesColor: WhiteBrand: Fruit Of the Loom Heavy
Source: So today according to one Wiki Entry is the 20th anniversary of Vauxhall & I but according to another it was last week. i can only chalk this up to release dates staggered in different countries. so i will just assume it is today and leave it at that. Either Way it was this week so praise the almighty Moz, unite and move on.
Vauxhaull is this great album for people but ill be honest, it is on the bottom of the list for Moz albums for me. that sounds like it is a bad album in my opinion but no, that couldn't be farther from the truth. tis just that i like other albums way more. like if i was stranded on a desert island it wouldn't be the first Moz album id reach for. crazily enough my fav album is one that i think people like least which is Southpaw Grammar. i love how dark that record gets, i love the production and the sounds on it. but thats me. I'm sure many people disagree and i'm also sure depending on what Morriseey album you picked up first your opinion will be different. we can all agree that all his albums are good tho I'm sure. just different rankings of good.
I also need to iron my shirts or let them sit so they are obviously not pulled right off the shelve with fold marks on them too. dang I'm a slog. Morrissey would not be proud.

Day: 889Shirt: the Smiths - Sheila take A Bow (Reproduction)Color: RedBrand: TultexSource: fun fact. Sheila was the first Smiths song i ever heard. see when buying tapes as a kid i went for my moneys worth. Louder Than Bombs really gave you more bang for your buck, there must have been way over 20 songs on that thing and i was no rich mofo. Meat Is Murder only had like 9, the choice was simple. i bought in bulk.
I don't think it was until 10-15 years later that i learned that this record was all b-sides and singles. that is when i realized how good this band was. every their throwaway tracks killed it. there was no garbage. only songs that were slightly less amazing.
that is part of why this shirt made it into the batch i made cause this design was important to me, and i wanted to have one to wear for the remainder of my simple life. a reminder to me of when i discovered on of my favorite bands of my life.
Oh yes if you wanna buy one of these why they exist there are for sale here at www.Vltded.bigcartel.com

BUT this one is def in my top 5 ill say that. I put all the shirts up in the store individually now cause people seemed to not want to buy 5 shirts at once. i forget most people dont enjoy these shirts as much as me and dont need 2 more shirts let alone 5. so yeah all singles, they are up there.

The Scotty Cameron Gallery, a place for golfers to experience the Art of Putting, the same methodology and technology used by Master Craftsman Scotty Cameron in fitting the best players in the world, has opened its doors just north of San Diego.
The Gallery, located off Highway 101 in the quaint Southern California beach town of Encinitas, Calif., is described by Master Craftsman Scotty Cameron as "part retail space, part high-end product gallery, 100-percent putter fitting facility."
"Opening the Scotty Cameron Gallery is something I've dreamed about for a long time. I've always wanted to have a place open to the public where I can share the things that I have created and love,"said Cameron, whose Scotty Cameron by Titleist putters have been the choice of more players on the PGA Tour since 1997 and counting.
"But above all, the Gallery is a place where golfers can come to understand what is happening between the ball, the putter and the player –and how we get those three things to work in harmony."
Building on the success of Scotty Cameron putter fitting studios in Korea and Japan, the Gallery is home to Cameron's first public putter fitting studio in the United States.
It's an extension of Scotty's state-of-the-art research and development facility in nearby North County San Diego –the Scotty Cameron Putter Studio –where tour players from around the world visit regularly to get fit by Scotty and his team. At the Gallery, golfers will experience the same tour treatment, gaining the knowledge provided by Cameron's proprietary high-speed video putting stroke analysis tools, as well as the expertise of his highly trained fitters.
(Fittings are limited and booked by appointment only on the Gallery website, www.scottycamerongallery.com, or by calling 760-591-9720.)
The Gallery is also Cameron's first standalone retail venture, a concept store providing an experience like no other.
In true Southern California fashion, the space that now serves as the Scotty Cameron Gallery used to be a surf shop. After a full-scale remodel, with all of the building's fixtures created by Scotty, the Gallery embodies the putter maker's clean, modern, industrial design aesthetic.
Cameron enthusiasts can view and purchase an ever-changing array of rare Scotty Cameron tour putters and one-off creations found only at the Gallery. Luxury apparel personally selected by Cameron, and other items he finds intriguing –including surfboards hand-shaped especially for the Gallery by local surfing legend Rob Machado –will also be available.
"We will have things here that you won't see any place else in the world,"Cameron said. "When people come into the Gallery, we want them to feel the craftsmanship, the vibe, the experience. This is a place where you come to get fit and learn about your putting stroke, but also to get something that there's only one of in the world."
GALLERY ADDRESS: 927 S. Coast Highway 101, Suite E-100, Encinitas, CA, 92024
GALLERY INFORMATION: Visit www.scottycamerongallery.com, or call 760-230-6000
GALLERY HOURS: The Gallery is currently open Tuesday through Saturday (10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Closed Sunday and Monday. Hours subject to change.
PUTTER FITTING BOOKINGS: Two-hour putter fittings are limited and available at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. A fitting session is $350. To book an appointment, golfers can visit www.scottycamerongallery.com or call John Pinney, Scotty Cameron Gallery Fitting Coordinator, at 760-591-9720.
ONLINE STORE: A selection of Scotty Cameron Gallery putters and creations will also be available for purchase on the Gallery website, www.scottycamerongallery.com.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Roger Sloan made par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to claim the Nova Scotia Open on the Web.com Tour.
Let's take a closer look at the Titleist equipment Roger trusted en route to his victory this weekend...

Congratulations, Roger!
On the PGA Tour, Pro V1x loyalist Angel Cabrera shot consecutive 64's on the weekend to claim his third-career PGA TOUR title at the Greenbrier Classic. Cabrera's final round included an eagle 2 on the difficult par-4 13th. He finished with a 16-under-par, 264 total.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Roger Sloan claimed his first Web.com Tour title on the first playoff hole to capture the inaugural Nova Scotia Open over Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Derek Fathauer. The pair finished regulation at 11-under 263 following a marathon 36-hole Sunday.
Rounding out the weekend success, Titleist Brand Ambassador Matt Harmon fired a final-round 6-under-par 66 to capture the Canadian PGA Tour's Dakota Dunes Open by three shots over Pro V1x golf ball loyalist William Kropp.
With three more wins this week, Titleist's year-to-date victory count advances to 91. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 22 and more than all competitors combined.
In total, 12,878 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in competition on the 2014 worldwide professional tours, more than six times the nearest competitor with 2,110 and more than all competitors combined.
THE TITLEIST LEADERBOARD | WEEK ENDING July 6, 2014
Posted: July 4, 2014
The PGA Tour is in White Sulphur Springs, WV this week for the Greenbrier Classic. Players will be looking to take on the difficult 7,287-yard Old White course in hopes of taking home the trophy.
And when it comes to taking on the difficult layout, Titleist is the overwhelming golf ball of choice with 97 players in the field trusting a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 22 and more than all competitors combined.
Titleist was also the top choice among players in the sand, lob and approach wedge (155) and putters (57) categories.
Fast Fact: Pro V1x loyalist Jonas Blixt came from four strokes behind the leader to claim the 2013 Greenbrier Classic.

Welcome to a summer series on Red Wings franchise history compiled every Sunday night by WIIM commenter uvgt2bkdnme. Seven facts will center around a theme, whether it's an era of Red Wings hockey, a certain player or group of players, or Red Wings trivia.
I originally conceived of these posts as longform pieces, but multiple factors pushed the idea in this direction, and I think it'll better serve the community to be written this way. Where possible, links to further information or sources will be posted; otherwise, if the information came from any books, those will be cited separately.
No matter what level of fan you consider yourself, everyone can benefit from further enlightenment by learning the history of the franchise if you didn't know it before; if you already did know it, there's also a benefit to reflecting on the knowledge you have. Without further ado:
The Basics: Franchise Identity
1. The current Detroit hockey team was born on May 15, 1926 when the NHL awarded Detroit a franchise.
2. The former Victoria Cougars of the Western (Canada) Hockey League* (WHL) dissolved after the 1926 Stanley Cup Final. Detroit investors bought their contracts and effectively transferred the Victoria team to Detroit. The Detroit "Cougars" became the homage to the former WHL team.
3. Having no arena ready for their inaugural season, the Cougars played in Windsor's Border Cities Arena. Beginning with their second season, they would have a permanent home in Olympia Stadium.
4. The franchise's first win was a 1-0 shutout of the Chicago Blackhawks. It was their third game overall.
5. The Cougars' name changed to the Detroit Falcons in 1930. (Your guess is as good as mine as to why the name changed, since I can't find much of anything about the new name.)
6. In 1932, James Norris Sr. purchased the Detroit franchise which had been struggling mightily financially. Upon purchase, he changed the logo and team name. A former product of the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, Norris took the Winged Wheel logo and appropriated it to the Detroit nickname "Motor City." The team name "Red Wings" was born.
7. On December 27, 1979, the Red Wings welcomed the St. Louis Blues to their new home at Joe Louis Arena. Like the Blues usually do, they spoiled everything and won the first game 3-2.
Other links and sources:
Official Red Wings site Written History
Next week: You always remember your first: The Red Wings' first Stanley Cup championship.
EDIT: *I completely forgot to explain the asterisk on the WHL. In its final year of existence, the Victoria Cougars were a member of the WHL, but in previous seasons, the league was known as the WCHL. Especially noteworthy is that the Cougars defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3 games to 1 in the 1925 Stanley Cup Final.

Best camera settings for a formal event?
I will be shooting at a formal event in Nov. and want to know what kind of settings are the best to use? The ISO is a big one, I am a little confused about how you know what to set the ISO at for different events? I have the SB-600 but I figure the lights will not be super bright in the room.

There is no answer for this. The ISO should be as low as possible. But "possible" is a design choice. Yes with an SB-600 you can light up people at a wedding, but what if you want the background lit too and you can't bounce, you need to increase the ISO.
You just need to decided what you want from the picture and pick the settings that allow you to take it (or in extreme cases like weddings in dark churches get close enough).

I agree with Garbz, there is no way for us to tell you exactly what you need to use for your ISO setting.
Something I like to do for formal events is show up early, really early. That way you can think about where you will need to stand and shoot and what have you. When the event starts, play with a few ISOs to see what looks best on your view finder. If you are afraid you won't have time, consider talking to the person who is managing lights. Often at big events, there is at least one, if not more, person assigned to control the lights through the event. If you are really afraid of missing the moment by using the wrong ISO, use the one you think will work best and BRACKET, at least then you will have a little room for error.
hope this helps a bit.Prepare to bedazzled, Prepare for Pixotik

Thanks I will deffinently be doing the "go early thing" and will see what things are like. I definently what to avoid the direct flash. The pics from the Photog that was there last year had some problems with the peoples faces being washed out and bright so I am assumeing that the problem was with the direct flash. I think I am going to try the betterbounce card since I can still bounce the light bu at the same time I get some light going forward as well.

Look up 'dragging the shutter'. When you are able to do this the other questions will fall into place. The short answer is to use an aperture that will give the depth of field needed and then balance ISO and shutter speed for exposure.
mikeLuck favors the prepared.
To be in the right place at the right time you have to first be in the right place.
Do you really care which camera I use?

IOWA COUNTY (WKOW) – A Fitchburg man was arrested after traveling at 143 miles per hour under the influence.
A Barneveld Police Officer witnessed a vehicle traveling at 143 miles per hour on USH 18/151 near exit 58 in the Village of Barneveld around 6:41 on Saturday.
The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, a 2005 Infiniti, driven by Daniel Sandoval Arandia, but he continued at a high rate of speed on USH 18/151.
Authorities say Arandia lost control of the vehicle in the Township of Brigham sending the vehicle into the ditch and causing a minor grass fire under the vehicle.
The Barneveld officer and an Iowa County Deputy extinguished the fire before any damage was done to the vehicle.
Authorities arrested Daniel for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence first offense, felony eluding and was cited for 143 miles per hour in a posted 65 mph zone.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - State utility officials have ordered Vectren Corp. to pay a $100,000 fine and make safety improvements over a natural gas explosion last year that destroyed a southern Indiana home and injured six people.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission issued the order Wednesday after the agency's review of actions leading up to the November 2011 explosion in New Albany. The agency found that crews for a subsidiary of Evansville-based Vectren Corp. damaged the gas line while doing drilling work and didn't alert emergency officials before the explosion an hour later.
Vectren spokeswoman Chase Kelley tells the Evansville Courier & Press that the company takes full responsibility for the explosion and has made safety changes.
Only one of those hurt in the explosion needed overnight hospitalization.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

On Thursday night in the NHL, the Phoenix Coyotes, Anaheim Ducks, and Minnesota Wild all scored shootout wins, the Winnipeg Jets added to their Southeast Division lead and the Edmonton Oilers upset an Eastern Conference power.
The Coyotes' shootout victory over the Calgary Flames may have been Thursday night's best comeback. Phoenix fell behind 2-0 in the first period, but rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the third period and then took the shootout 1-0, as Ray Whitney, who also scored in regulation, netted the Coyotes' first shot. Mike Smith saved two shootout attempts and made 21 saves in the win and Phoenix remained five points clear of the Dallas Stars for the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference.
The Ducks and Wild had less dramatic wins: Anaheim came back from 1-0 and 2-1 deficits, and Saku Koivu had the only goal in the Ducks 3-2 shootout win over the Carolina Hurricanes while the Wild allowed a goal to the Florida Panthers in the third period to head to overtime, then blitzed the Panthers 2-0 in a shootout for a 3-2 shootout victory. Both the Ducks and Wild remain in the running for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference; Minnesota is three points behind Dallas, and Anaheim four back.
Elsewhere, the Jets got two goals and an assist from Andrew Ladd and held on for a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning after taking a 4-1 lead. Edmonton, the second-worst team in the NHL, blanked the Philadelphia Flyers, currently fifth in the East, 2-0.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Tim Senkowski is coming home.
The wounded warrior from Anderson is wrapping up his year-and-a-half long stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
Although Senkowski is doing well, he and his family face hurdles.
Senkowski, 30, was severely wounded by an improvised explosive device in October 2011, including the loss of both of his legs, while serving in Afghanistan as a member of the Army infantry with the 3rd Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division. He has been in recovery.
On Thursday, Senkowski will be surrounded by family as he is awarded his Calvary spurs in a special ceremony at Walter Reed. He will also take part in the retirement ceremony that marks his departure from the Army. On Monday, he is Indiana-bound.
Veterans organization The Path Home is orchestrating the construction of a home to accommodate the Senkowski family. That includes wife Erica, who has disabilities of her own stemming from rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, and children Dusty and Embry.
The project is dependent on donations. Enough funding has been received so far for the land purchase. Construction of the home west of Edgewood has yet to begin, but the family is hopeful it will be complete by year's end.
Limited options
In the interim, Senkowski and his family will be staying with Senkowski's mother and stepfather, Tamra and JR Rigdon.
"We live in our garage to take care of them," said Tamra. Still, in order to accommodate Tim's new needs, the Rigdons' small Anderson home requires a bathroom that is handicapped-accessible. That project was in the works — until this week.
That's when Tamra learned that the funding for the bathroom addition fell through, leaving them with no good options for the bathroom before Tim arrives home.
"He's got to crawl into it and he can't take a shower in there," said Tamra of the existing bathroom. She's reaching out to the community, asking for monetary or material donations to help get the bathroom finished.
"We've got the labor. We've got the contractors to do it," said Tamra. She's also got the materials list for the bathroom, just no money to pay for it. The price tag is just shy of $7,000.
"I'm so beyond stressed, it's unreal," said Tamra.
The situation is complicated by income constraints that make simple day-to-day living a challenge. Tim will not begin receiving retirement pay for 90 days. Tamra lost her income after quitting her job to care for Tim.
"He's going to be home next Monday," said Tamra. Donations can be made to the PNC bank account set up for Senkowski.
Jay Ricker, founder and president of Anderson-based Ricker Oil Co., is a staunch supporter of Senkowski, having already raised about $20,000 towards Senkowski's new home.
"I can't think of anything that we donated to in years that is more important than this type of donation that touches your heart," said Ricker. He noted that Senkowski suffered his injuries in defense of those at home. "I don't think there's anything more important as a community."
"We're getting ready to make a $10,000 challenge donation," said Ricker.
In the midst of all the struggles, Tamra is also juggling the management of the family's recently established non-profit Wounded Warrior Homefront. Its purpose is to promote empowerment, social justice, cultivate leadership and enhance the health and well-being of the military, their family members and those who serve in emergency services agencies.
"My kids started this whole thing," laughed Rigdon. "God love 'em."

"Batman and Robin" target Willow Man
4:15pm Sunday 14th March 2010 in News By Matthew Colledge
A GROUP of fathers' rights campaigners, including men dressed as Batman and Robin, descended on the Willow Man near Bridgwater this afternoon.
The group, who say they were part of the New Fathers 4 Justice group, arrived at the iconic statue off the M5 motorway at around 2pm today.
The campaigners, who say they want greater rights for fathers to see their children, attempted to peg a 10ft St George's flag near the Willow Man with the words Vote English written on it, a reference to their support for the English Democrats political party. A spokesman for the group said the man dressed as Batman left the scene after a traffic officer arrived but it was not known what had happened to the man dressed as Robin.

Precisely Blacknight_uk no wonder their partners left them if this is the mentality of this so called fathers group. LEAVE OUR WILLOW MAN ALONE & go play with your own toys batman & robin
They do this because they are not and do not want to be absent parents. They do this from frustration that they are not heard.

These fathers groups would receive greater support if they spoke to people through the press etc rather than trespassing or vandalizing property as, for example, Fathers 4 Justice often do, causing great upheavel to others when roads are shut etc
Why, I wonder also, does this fathers group feel the need to associte itself with the English Democratic Party??

I admire these people for having the balls to actually do something about raising awareness for their cause. People who look down their noses at others and saying that they are basically crap parents are usually woman and wrong. I did not read anywhere in this report that the statue was damaged either. Where did that come from!? They would simply be ignored by trying to communicate through the press, but the biggest problem for them is that their press releases wouldn't even get printed! Come on people! They probably "associate themselves" with the English Democrats party because they are the only party who are interested in sorting out the many problems with with fading country. Have you looked at their website and researched them. They actually look pretty good.
That's a bit of an assumption isn't it? How do you know they are usually woman? I've heard lots of absent fathers say that the Fathers4Justice actions are wrong and give them a bad name...

Dirk Nowitzki scored the final 12 points of Game 3 for the Dallas Mavericks, but he couldn't make it 14. As Dirk's final shot rimmed out, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James escaped with a win and one game lead in the NBA Finals... Thanks to a game-winning shot by Chris Bosh.
In the end, the Miami Heat's stars were just a little bit better. While Dirk did everything possible down the stretch, Miami used LeBron as a facilitator and Wade as the closer, while Bosh became the deadly third option that eventually killed the Mavs.
So with all eyes on the superstars after Sunday night, we may as well take a closer look. Just for fun, let's hand out some grades after Game 3. Starting with last night's hero...
CHRIS BOSH. Midway through the first quarter, Bosh got jabbed in the eye by one of Jason Kidd's fingers, and spent the next few minutes writhing on the floor like some sort of gunshot victim. It looked pretty bad, and once he got back into the game, so did he. This had all the makings of another game where Bosh gets exposed while Wade and LeBron carry Miami despite him. Speaking of which, this is still the best picture of the playoffs.
But once the second half got going, so did Bosh. Relatively speaking, anyway. He led off the second half with a 21-foot jumper, and in the fourth quarter, he scored two quick buckets off assists from LeBron James to protect Miami's lead. He wasn't bringing that much to the table, but he wasn't taking things off the table, either. Then came the final play, where Tyson Chandler left him in the corner for a wide-open 16-foot jumper that ultimately won the game for Miami. All net.
All of which is to say, Bosh gave Miami everything they needed in Game 3. He's not going to be the guy that carries them in any of these games, and he's always going to be the guy with questionable toughness who makes you roll your eyes. But in the end, Miami just needs him knock down open shots, finish at the rim, and be a solid third option. Really, they're not asking a whole lot. And on those fronts, Bosh delivered on Sunday.
Sure, Kurt Thomas could have nailed the same game-winner that Bosh hit, it was Udonis Haslem (not Bosh) that shut down Dirk on the final play, and Bosh's "redemption" in the second half basically amounted to hitting three or four open shots. But that's all Miami needs. Grade: C+
UDONIS HASLEM. Speaking of that final minute... One of the biggest reason Miami can get away with a C+ from Bosh is Haslem. With Haslem playing lockdown defense and battling on the boards, suddenly, Miami's frontline grades out evenly with any team in the league. He does the little things that Bosh couldn't. For instance, it was Haslem that set the screen that freed up Bosh on that game-winner.
There's a big reason this team struggled all year and suddenly looks a thousand times better in May and June. The big reason is the little things. And it all comes back to Haslem. Grade: B+.
LEBRON JAMES. Even in a game where his teammates owned the spotlight, the 'ol media still managed to create its own set of LeBron headlines after the game. First it was that idiot reporter who asked him about "shrinking from the moment" and then wrote an even dumber column about it. Then it was the hoops experts who had to go and debunk any myths about LeBron's Game 3. The truth is somewhere in between.
By LeBron's standards, Game 3 was tame. He didn't leave the rest of the league shivering with cold sweats and nightmares about the next decade of domination, but he still gave Dallas problems throughout the second half. He played lockdown defense, and on offense, he quietly picked apart the Dallas D, hitting Bosh and Wade and Udonis Haslem for assist after assist.
The media may grade LeBron on a curve, but wins and losses are pretty black-and-white, and the team with LeBron James always has a pretty phenomenal advantage. Really, there are two ways for LeBron NOT to dominate. The first way is what happened in Game 2, when he settled for long, desperate jumpers at the end of the shot clock. That's what can happen when LeBron tries to be the guy that mainstream columnists want him to be. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The other way is what happens when LeBron facilitates instead of dominates.
Instead of taking game-winners, himself, he swings the ball to D-Wade for a dagger three. Or maybe finds Chris Bosh wide-open with a behind-the-back pass for a game-winner. Maybe it's not Jordanesque, but when LeBron plays like that, he's almost as deadly as when he's scoring, and the Heat are every bit as dominant. They usually win. And in the end, nothing's more Jordanesque than winning, and LeBron was a big part of that for Miami Sunday night. Grade: B+
JEFF VAN GUNDY. He's become the unofficial PR-man for LeBron James over the course of these NBA Finals, by God, he's been spectacular. As an announcer? Pretty insufferable. GRADE: D+.
DIRK NOWITZKI. What more can he do? He scored the last 12 points of the game for Dallas. He got into the lane, and he did damage from the perimeter. He hit foul shots, he hit shots wide-open jumpers, and he hit shots with Miami draped all over him. Even on his final shot, he was able to get a good look. It just hit the back rim...
Sure, he also had a turnover in the final minute on a possession that might've tied the game, but even so. He carried the Mavs' offense throughout crunch time, and against any other team in the playoffs, that fourth quarter explosion would have equaled a win. GRADE: A+
THE FAN THAT SPILLED HIS DRINK. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, LeBron James got a breakaway dunk to push Miami's lead to five, and after Dallas had climbed all the way back, it looked like Miami was about to pull away all over again. Then a fan spilled his drink all over the court, and it forced a prolonged stoppage where both teams caught their breath.
If it wasn't strategy, then it should be for Game 4 and 5. If Dallas can't stop the Heat runs on their own, then maybe their fans can help take some wind out of Miami's sails. It sure worked in Game 3. After the stop for cleanup, the Mavs climbed back into things, and it was close the rest of the way. So well played, clumsy courtside fan. GRADE: A+.
DWYANE WADE. If there were any doubt about his ability to carry Miami, it's disappeared by now. Wade's been incredible for the entire series, and Sunday night was just building on the theme. If it all ended now, Wade would be Finals MVP, and it's not even close. Even as the officials favored the Mavs and Dirk was going off, Wade just kept chugging along. Even as the Mavs doubled him. And especially as the game got close in the final quarter. Every time Miami needed a bucket, Wade delivered.
With threes, with drives, and on that final play to Bosh, it was Wade that drew the defense to one side before he passed out of a double team and swung it to LeBron, who found Bosh in the corner. It just doesn't get any better than Wade in Game 3. Grade: A+
In the end, Game 3's not a death blow for Dallas. The Lakers stole Game 3 in Boston last year before the Celtics won 4 and 5 and went back to L.A. up 3-2. But even if Dallas still has a chance after Sunday, it's a good example of why the this whole series is an uphill battle.
Just look at the grades. Dallas can get an A-plus performance from their best player, but the Heat can still win. In other words, Dallas has to hope that A) Dirk dominates and B) Wade and LeBron struggle or C) A courtside fan spills a drink that causes Wade or 'Bron to slip and tear his ACL. Otherwise, if either one of Miami's superstars is hitting on all cylinders, Dallas is in trouble. Even if Dirk's last-second shot had fallen, it's not like Dallas would have been favored in that overtime. We're talking about a team with one superstar vs. a team with three.
It's the sort of "sky-is-blue" explanation that seems too self-explanatory to satisfy people, but sometimes it's just that simple. Dallas can absolutely do it, because as Game 2 proved, if Miami falters, the Mavs veterans can capitalize. Dirk's ruthless, and they won't back down.
But from a broader perspective, if Dallas wins, we'll probably be talking about one of the bigger upsets in NBA Finals history. If Miami wins... Well, the message is pretty clear after Game 3.
Whether it's Wade, LeBron, or Bosh that wins it, Miami's just the better team.

The Corporate Map of the World
I'm not exactly sure what the Corporate World Map shows, but I like the visual effect of US states and federal regions of Russia represented by company logos.
At first I assumed that the states and federal regions were being represented on the map by their biggest corporations but I think the map might just show a well known company that has its headquarters in the state or federal area.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON – The Anderson Community Schools Board of Trustees and city officials on Tuesday reached an agreement that will delay consideration of razing the Wigwam complex until July.
The board's 6-0 vote (member Danny McGhee was absent) was a key endorsement that makes it possible for a business group to continue seeking investors and work on plans to once more turn the historic high school sports arena into a community destination.
"I'd like to say that I'm thrilled for the efforts of those who are continuing to work in this regard," said board member Scott Green. "It's a big challenge and we all know that, but I want to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of those who are involved to bringing some kind of successful opportunity to the Wigwam."
Earlier in the day, the Anderson Board of Public Works voted to approve the agreement with the Anderson Community School Corp., Wigwam Sports & Entertainment (WSE), the Madison County Visitors Bureau and Tom Snyder to cover the expenses of the Wigwam through the end of June.
Included in the agreement is the possible transfer of ownership of the Wigwam complex to the city by June 10.
The agreement allows the school board to approve a resolution transferring ownership and responsibility of the Wigwam complex to the city as a gift without any compensation before the school board's June 10 meeting.
If the transfer of ownership is not completed by July 1, the ACS board may proceed with the demolition of the Wigwam complex.
The current agreement runs through June 30.
The city of Anderson will provide $10,547 in food and beverage tax revenues with Wigwam Sports & Entertainment, the Visitors Bureau and Snyder each providing $4,170. Snyder is chairman of the blue ribbon committee that was appointed by the mayor to explore ways to revitalize the Wigwam.
ACS will pay the operating expenses through the end of March.
A total of $23,057 is to be deposited into a separate ACS account by March 30 to fund the expenses for April, May and June.
A monthly forecast of the Wigwam complex costs provided by ACS projects expenditures ranging from $6,619 in March to $7,899 in May and June. Not included in the monthly cost is $9,667 per month for building preservation.
ACS has estimated the cost of reopening the Wigwam as a multi-use recreational facility is $116,000.
Michael Frischkorn, deputy director of the Anderson Economic Development Department, said the agreement provides additional time for Wigwam Sports & Entertainment to find investors interested into converting the iconic gym into a sports and entertainment complex.
"This delays any move by the school board to demolish the Wigwam complex," he said.
Although the board of trustees' decision was unanimous, Irma Hampton Stewart said that now is the time for the community to really show its support for the Wigwam with small donations of money, of even $5 and $10.
Without that support, she said, "we could lose one of the big things that was exciting about this community for years and years."
The Wigwam complex was closed in March 2011 because it was no longer needed for ACS's education mission and was too expensive to maintain, the board determined.
The financial costs of maintaining the Wigwam complex in a "mothball" status was draining the school system's resources to support the educational programs and were being diverted to pay for the facility's expenses.
Wigwam Sports & Entertainment has set up a site to collect donations ranging from $100 to $450 at www.gofundme.com4j4864. Contributors will receive tickets, reserved parking for the highest donation level once the Wigwam complex begins staging events.
The goal is to raise $200,000. To date, $100 has been donated to the website, which was established in January.

Divisional Strength
Hey APC! I just wanted to share some information. This is up-to-date as for 12/4 with the conclusion of the Redskins win over the Giants. I usually keep track of the standings on my own because I like to normalize the strength of a division by how they fare against their opponents outside of the division. Essentially, I am subtracting out the wins/losses against divisional opponents because they result in a win AND a loss in the standings.
Assuming everything is entered correctly:
As you can see, the AFC North fares the best outside of their division followed by the NFC North. The AFC West and the NFC East are the bottom feeders.
Playoff Scenarios
Now for the fun part! This is going to be very link intensive, but will be your go-to source of playoff information in the coming weeks. I may update this post, but should be a good start for everyone to look at.

No, no! That's not allowed, you see. How dare you ask questions, even if they are requested from you? As we reported yesterday, Michelle Obama solicited questions on Twitter using the hashtag #askFLOTUS. Ask, and ye shall receive! But, you see, actual questions about real issues do not suit.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Saturday wasn't only a day for those young and in love to show their affection.
It's also a day for the young at heart.
Dozens of Albany area Seniors were treated to a Valentine's day dance at the Hudson Malone Towers in Downtown Albany.
There was food, music, and lots of dancing, as you see there.
Americorps Cadets and Members of the Albany police department sponsored the dance for the seniors.
"We're here to show them that people still care and just because they're elderly that doesn't mean they don't have a life they're still young at heart. We try to come in here and bring the youngness back out," Terrel Stephens, Americorps Cadet.
As you can tell they had a great time.
Terrell Stephens was surprised.
Stephens admits, at first he didn't think the party was going to be as much fun.

One of the most complicated aspects of putting together our database landscape map was dealing with the growing number of (particularly NoSQL) databases that refuse to be pigeon-holed in any of the primary databases categories.
I have begun to refer to these as "multi-model databases" in recognition of the fact that they are able to take on the characteristics of multiple databases. In truth though there are probably two different groups of products that could be considered "multi-model":
True multi-model databases that have been designed specifically to serve multiple data models and use-cases

Even though I have come late to the party of professional development, relatively speaking, I am acutely aware of the conflict that seems to pervade the developer-DBA relationship. This is what I gather about why this is: DBAs used to be paid better that developers, and often this was because they were able to reduce the overall license and hardware costs of large database installations. Both the size and proprietary nature of databases made them incredibly expensive, so paying an individual gobs of money to make sure they ran efficiently and that the data was preserved was worth it.
Several trends have changed the playing field. The first is the arrival of small, commodity server hardware that makes mainframes or large servers unnecessary, and thus the cost is pushed down dramatically for most[Read more...]

|Radiation hardness tests of piezoelectric actuators with fast neutrons at liquid helium temperature
|M. Fouaidy1G. Martinet1N. Hammoudi1F. Chatelet1A. Olivier1S. Blivet1F. Galet1
|Piezoelectric actuators, which are integrated into the cold tuning system and used to compensate the small mechanical deformations of the cavity wall induced by Lorentz forces due to the high electromagnetic surface field, may be located in the radiation environment during particle accelerator operation. In order to provide for a reliable operation of the accelerator, the performance and life time of piezoelectric actuators (~24.000 units for ILC) should not show any significant degradation for long periods (i.e. machine life duration: ~20 years), even when subjected to intense radiation (i.e. gamma rays and fast neutrons). An experimental program, aimed at investigating the effect of fast neutrons radiation on the characteristics of piezoelectric actuators at liquid helium temperature (i.e. T~4.2 K), was proposed for the working package WP#8 devoted to tuners development in the frame of CARE project. A neutrons irradiation facility, already installed at the CERI cyclotron located at Orléans (France), was upgraded and adapted for actuators irradiations tests purpose. A deuterons beam (maximum energy and beam current: 25 MeV and 35µA) collides with a thin (thickness: 3 mm) beryllium target producing a high neutrons flux with low gamma dose (~20%): a neutrons fluence of more than 1014 n/cm2 is achieved in ~20 hours of exposure. A dedicated cryostat was developed at IPN Orsay and used previously for radiation hardness test of calibrated cryogenic thermometers and pressure transducers used in LHC superconducting magnets. This cryostat could be operated either with liquid helium or liquid argon. This irradiation facility was upgraded for allowing fast turn-over of experiments and a dedicated experimental set-up was designed, fabricated, installed at CERI and successfully operated for radiation hardness tests of several piezoelectric actuators at T~4.2 K. This new apparatus allows on-line automatic measurements of actuators characteristics and the cryogenic parameters. Further, the test-cell and actuators are equipped with high purity Ni foils for measuring the total neutrons dose by an activation method. In this report, the details of the irradiation test facility will be described then the experimental data will be analyzed and discussed.

The West Virginia State Police Detachment in Welch is investigating a bomb threat that came in to the Stevens Correctional Facility on Sunday, April 28. Troopers tell 59News that there is an open and active investigation into the threat.
According to State Police there are person of interest in the case that they are investigating, but there is no one in custody. If an arrest is made, there are two possible charges that could be leveled against the suspect. Those include Making a Bomb Threat and Threatening a Terrorist Act. The second charge is included anytime there is a threat of mass destruction. Both charges carry a prison sentence of one to three years in prison. A fine of $100 to $2,000 dollars is attached to the Bomb Threat charge. A fine of $5,000 to $25,000 comes with the Terrorist Act charge.
Anyone with information about the threat is asked to call the West Virginia State Police Detachment in Welch at 304-436-2101. People calling with tips can remain anonymous.
Stevens Correctional Facility was on lock down Sunday after a bomb threat was called in around 10 a.m.
McDowell County 911 dispatchers said that McDowell County Sheriff's, West Virginia State Police and Welch Police Department were all on the scene.
The area has been cleared and there was no bomb found inside the building.

"When I was really little I used to, I remember when we would go to arts and crafts, I would see all the bigger girls and their arts and crafts looked so perfect," Madison Starr said. "Mine looked really, really, awful. And this year whenever I help the little girls with their crafts, they say that our arts and crafts are so much better than theirs are."
Some of the girls were also working on a cooking merit badge. They cooked from scratch and used an open fire for heat.

One of the world's most pervasive wars is the one on poverty. It often occurs pre, during, and post armed and cyber conflict and it becomes increasingly prevalent (and dramatic) following regime changes. Brasil (Brazil as Americans present it) is such an example, whereby the most recent governments' leadership have engaged in strategies to address many core and critical issues of poverty. Other struggles in the country occur concurrently—e.g., respect for and inclusion of indigenous populations, the landless, the un- and under-employed, ecological and environmental preservation, developing an improved distribution of wealth, and the like.
Brasil is the sixth economy of the world and the largest ethanol producer; it is also the largest producer of soybeans and coffee. It was colonized by the Portuguese who brought West African slaves to work in agriculture. Historically, Brasil has seen immigration from Italy, Germany, Lebanon, Syria, The Netherlands, and Japan (there are nearly three million of Japanese heritage). The Bolshoi Ballet of Russia chose the State of Santa Catarina as its site for establishing the first Bolshoi ballet outside of Russia. The current Brazilian capitol is Brasíla, the third in its history, and was created as one of the world's first efforts of establishing a capitol in the interior area of a country to encourage and stimulate development.
Brasil has engaged in important initiatives to eradicate poverty in several ways during the recent governments. One of the results has been elevating likely 65 million (actual numbers vary from 40 to 105 million) into the lower sector of middle class—out of poverty—through initiatives of solidarity economics at the local and community levels and a family food basket program.
The solidary economics program of the Management School of the Federal University of Bahia (EAUFBA), is working in several communities and the SCAR field work will occur at one of their program site areas, Matarandiba, Bahia. It is a traditional community of shell- and fishermen, with a population of less than 1,000, who live on the income generated by the artisanal fishing activity and from extraction of its mangrove areas. The village belongs to the Metropolitan Region of Salvador (RMS). The community has many significant aspects of poverty. The traditional "way of life" in Matarandiba began changing in the second half of the 1970s when the chemical industry discovered large deposits of rock salt in the subsoil of the Vera Cruz municipality where Matarandiba is located. In 1977, the Dow Chemical Company began the exploration of rock salt, installing its mining unit in the surroundings of the Matarandiba community. The company acquired the right for subterranean mining of the mineral and bought nearly 90% of the land of the Matarandiba Island. In 2007 the solidarity economics program of the EAUFBA began working with this village.
The Brazil Service Learning Field Experience is being coordinated through the Solidarity Economics Program of the EAUFBA. The S-CAR student team will work together in the field with English speaking and other members of the Solidarity Economics program. The S-CAR students will help the solidarity economics team address a long-standing conflict in Matarandiba that is impeding the progress of the village's development. The student team will also train the Solidarity Economics team in facilitation and mediation skills. Portuguese language, or other Latin-based languages, will be extremely useful for this intensive work, however, the S-CAR team will be accompanied by English-speaking graduate students from EAUFBA, working collaboratively in the field.
The S-CAR team will also have the opportunity to engage in Bahia's culture, learn about the history of Bahia-Brazil, witness Afro-Brazilian aspects of life in Bahia, and visit several historic locales, monuments, and churches—the cultural aspect of this intensive service is important for the over-all learning objectives.
