NEW YORK (WKOW) -- Actress Lindsay Lohan finds herself in more trouble with the law. The actress was arrested after police say she hit a woman during an argument at a New York City nightclub.
New York City police say Lohan was placed under arrest at 4 a.m. Thursday and charged with third-degree assault. They say she got into the argument with another woman at Club Avenue in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. Police say she struck the woman in face with her hand. The victim did not require medical attention.
Her publicist didn't immediately return a call for comment. However, this is not Lohan's first run in with the law. She was involved in a New York City police investigation in September. She alleged a man had assaulted her in a New York hotel, but charges against the man were later dropped.

Drunk from Hampton Wick floods Kingston police cell with rage against the latrine
4:00am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Clare Buchanan
A drunk man who flooded a police cell after stuffing a blanket down the toilet was handed a conditional discharge.
Domonic Elmmers, from Marina Place, Hampton Wick, used a trouser button to scratch the walls of cell four at Kingston custody suite before putting a blanket down the toilet and flooding the room.
Kingston unveiled its revamped cells to the public in August 2013.
The 38-year-old was taken to the police station after officers found him drunk and disorderly and in possession of two wraps of cannabis outside the Foresters pub in Hampton Wick High Street on January 25.
Elmmers pleaded guilty to one count of being drunk and disorderly, one of possession of a class B drug and one of criminal damage to property valued at less than £5,000.
He was handed a conditional discharge of 12 months when he appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Tuesday, February 11, which means if he reoffends within the next year he could face jail.
Elmmers was also ordered to pay £100 compensation and the court ordered the drugs to be destroyed.

US- According to the Google the description of what will happen to signal the apocalypse is; Wait GOOGLE IS DOWN, I repeat GOOGLE IS DOWN!
Millions of internet users were surprised and startled to learn that the popular search engine Google was not working Wednesday morning. Along with the search engine not being operational some Google services were also affected by the outage.
Users quickly turned to social media site to ensure they were not the only ones affected and to express their opinions of what it all means.
Twitter user @brandtprince said: "I was using google maps when it suddenly turned in to apple maps! #FML #CarIsNowABoat #ApocalypseHasBegun." Many other users questioned what that meant for the future such as Twitter user @predsgal who stated, "So glad I survived the great #google outage 2013...I might have had to talk to a person or open a book if it had lasted any longer!."
During this disaster the company behind the search engine "Bing" geared up for more business and even called in their two on-call employees. "We are prepared to handle as many as 300 searches per hour as of now," Bing search director Toby Arnotobee said, "and when our on-call employees get in we should be able to handle up to 450."
As of the time of writing Google is now back up and operational, and you should be able to use maps and services as normal. Bing has since told their two on-call workers they can take the rest of the day off.

ST. CLAIR TWP., Ohio - Police responding to calls can be required to face a split second decision. In Calcutta Saint Clair Township police are receiving training to help them prepare for real life situations they can encounter.
Through this video simulation provided by the Ohio Attorney General Peace Officers Training Mobile Academy, officers respond to domestic calls, active shooter situations in schools and active threat scenarios. Mike Golec, an instructor with the Attorney General's OPOTA training program, tells us situations in real life are dynamic and changing. Golec says this training provides an opportunity to evaluate the skills and tactics that officers already have, against a training scenario, and then officers can assess if they need to make any improvements. He tells us there are about 400 training scenarios.
Saint Clair Police Chief Don Hyatt requested the training for his department and invited other departments throughout Columbiana County. Hyatt says with budget constraints having the training come to the department saves thousands of dollars. The Chief explains that's why he invited officers who wanted to attend from surrounding departments. Hyatt adds when a split second decision must be made, he hopes the training will help officers make the decision they need to save their life and help keep the public safe.
Patrolman Carl Nolder says the training and review is critical since there is no rewind in life. Nolder says it's great officers and the instructor can actually go back and rewind and assess every action, what they did right and wrong.
Everything in the driving simulator mobile trailer is set up like a real police cruiser. In this training officers can review how they perform responding to the scene of an accident, crime, or call. The instructor emphasizes 42 of the 126 officers killed in the line of duty last year died in traffic related accidents. Daniel Pastor, an OPOTA Law Enforcement Instructor, says officers need to assess their speed, whether they are going too fast, and whether they have the skills to try and avoid collisions with people who are not paying attention. Pastor adds officers have to be able to go above and beyond to protect not only themselves but first and foremost the public.

Waves of Warblers
Birders wait with great anticipation for the waves of warblers that pass through New England in May. Flocks, or waves, often consist of several species, with the males' plumages presenting a variety of brilliant colors, making the search for these fast-moving, tiny birds well worth the effort. Returning from their wintering grounds in Central and South America, some warblers make non-stop flights covering more than a thousand miles at a time. When they stop to refuel, their search for insects is incessant. As they hunt for insects in the canopy, often amongst flowering trees such as this Red Oak, American Redstart males (pictured) often flash their wings and tail, both of which have brilliant orange feathers on them, startling an insect long enough to give the Redstart a chance to consume it.

Common Loons Molting
Loons begin a full body molt (minus their wings) in the late summer and early fall, prior to migration. The black and white breeding plumage of adult loons in summer is replaced by the gray-brown of winter. This process typically begins at the base of the bill and spreads across the head and over the upper back. The process of molting can extend through migration on into December.

Raven Chicks About To Fledge
Looking as if it were stuck to the vertical cliff wall by crazy glue, a raven's nest is often used for several years in a row. The nestlings remain in the nest for about 5 to 7 weeks, during which time they go from being an orange/pink color, sparsely covered with gray down, to the black plumage of an adult. The pictured nestlings are approximately five weeks old, and have just started to exercise their wing muscles in preparation for their first flight. They are panting with open beaks in an attempt to dissipate the heat of an unrelenting May sun. Within a week or two they will leave the nest, but will stay nearby for a few days. I couldn't get close enough to give this nest a smell test, but supposedly raven nests can have an unbelievably unpleasant odor (due to the remains of leftover food/ carrion and feces).
Common Grackle Threat Display
Although the common grackle, a member of the blackbird family, is the bane of many corn growers as well as a threat to songbirds trying to raise young (grackles eat other birds' eggs and nestlings), it is quite a colorful bird, with its pale yellow eyes and iridescent purple plumage. Grackles have already begun nesting and defending their territory, as can be seen from the stance of the bird in this image. This "bill-up display" is a position assumed when a male is being approached on its territory by another male. It moves its head upwards so that its bill is almost vertical, signaling to the approaching grackle that it would be in its best interest to depart.
Red-winged Blackbird Epaulettes
Male red-winged blackbirds have returned to Vermont, and their most notable features are the brightly-colored reddish-orange feathers on their "shoulders", referred to as epaulettes. In the military, an epaulette is a shoulder ornament that indicates, through its position, color, length and diameter, the bearer's rank. Some birds, including male redwings, also possess this badge, or visual cue, which indicates the social status of the bird to other birds of the same species. Studies of male red-winged blackbirds and their epaulettes indicate (through dyeing their bright orange/red shoulder patches black) that epaulettes play a significant role in the male's defense of his territory. Over 60% of the redwings that had their epaulettes dyed black lost their territories to other males. Further research revealed that aggression by a territorial male redwing is proportional to the epaulette size of the encroaching male redwing. It also indicated that male redwings intruding into redwing-occupied territories greatly limit the exposure of their epaulettes by covering them with black feathers. (Female red-winged blackbird plumage is brown and lacks epaulettes.)
Countershading is a common color pattern in animals in which the upper side of the animal is darker than the lower side. This color pattern provides camouflage for the animal when viewed from the side, above or below. The counter shading pattern balances the sunlight on the animal's back and the shadow beneath the animal so as to blend the animal's side profile with its surroundings. In addition, when viewed from below, a counter-shaded animal with a light belly blends into the light coming from the sky above. When viewed from above, the darker back of a counter-shaded animal blends into the darker ground colors below. Birds (which spend a considerable amount of time in the air) such as this dark-eyed junco, as well as marine animals often exhibit countershading.
Juvenile European Starlings Molting
Unlike their greenish-black iridescent parents, this year's young European Starlings had a drab gray-brown plumage through the summer. During late summer and fall all starlings molt and black speckled feathers grow in. There is a brief period of time when juveniles still have a pale tan head, before it, too, becomes speckled. Even though both juvenile and adult European Starlings resemble each other by late fall, it is possible to tell this year's young from adult birds. First-year starlings have more white speckles than adults, and their speckles are heart-shaped, as opposed to the V-shaped speckles of their parents.
Juvenile Cedar Waxwings Migrating
Possibly because of the importance of summer fruits in their diet, Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum) are late nesters, but by late August adults have begun their migration to the southern states and Central America. This year's young are beginning this (roughly) 900-mile flight now, a month after their parents have left. You can often find waxwings feeding in crab apple and other fruit trees where they stop over during their flight to refuel. Juvenile birds lack the sleek look of adults — the red wax-like feather tips for which this bird is named have not developed, and the color of their plumage is much duller than that of the adults.
Aging a Common Loon Chick by its Plumage
This year's Common Loon chicks are now roughly two months old. Even without being aware of when it hatched, you can estimate the age of a chick by looking at its feathers. Their color and type (down or contour) can give you a good idea of how many weeks old it is. Common Loon chicks are born covered with sooty-black down. By the time they are three weeks old they have replaced this natal down with a second (gray-brown) down. Juvenal feathers start appearing soon thereafter, replacing the down — the age of a chick can be estimated by the amount of down that remains. By eight weeks of age the chicks have just small tufts of brown down remaining on their head and neck (see photo). By nine weeks of age their entire body, including their head and neck, are covered with smooth, gray contour feathers and there is no sign of down.
Great Horned Owl Fledglings
Hardy birds that they are, Great Horned Owls are one of the earliest nesting birds — you can find them on nests in January, February and March, even in northern New England. Eggs are incubated for about a month, typically in March or April with young usually hatching in May or June. The nestlings remain in the nest for six or seven weeks before fledging. Unable to fly until they're ten or twelve weeks old, the fledglings follow their parents around and continue to be fed and cared for by them until the fall. These two fledglings were sticking close together as they made their raspy begging calls from high in a white pine. Both their calls and the down that was visible on their heads told me that they were this year's young.
Red-tailed Hawk Nestling
The Red-tailed Hawk nest that produced two fledglings last year is in use again this spring. In the past month the nestlings have gone from tiny white powder puffs to nearly equaling their parents in size. Down is still visible, especially on their heads, but contour feathers are quickly replacing them on other parts of their body. Soon there will be wing stretches and flapping, as well as hopping about on nearby branches in preparation for fledging.
Indigo Bunting
There is something irrepressibly cheery about the song of an Indigo Bunting. The male's paired notes ring out from a high perch, where this unbelievably blue bird positively sparkles in the sunlight. According to Cornell's "All About Birds" site, the male sings as many as 200 songs per hour at dawn and for the rest of the day averages a song per minute. To hear an indigo bunting sing, go to http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Indigo_Bunting/sounds .
Yellow-rumped Warbler
The Yellow-rumped Warbler (aka "Butterbutt") has returned to our woodlands, and our ears and eyes are all the richer for it. The song of this bejeweled songbird often stumps me the first time I hear it every spring. It is described as a "slow, soft, sweetly whistled warble" or trill. It is also said to resemble the sound of an old-time sewing machine. To see which song description you prefer, or to make your own, go to http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/yellow-rumped_warbler/sounds.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) - A Cape Girardeau woman was such a good friend, she played right into the hands of a hacker who took over her friend's Facebook account.
"I'm going to try really hard to forget it, but it was $3,914.20," Jayne Scherrman said.
She says it all began when she got a cryptic message from her friend Grace online.
"It was just a message. Jayne are you there? I need help. I answered her - "I'm here." She says "Mike and I are stranded in London, it's a bad situation, we need help.'"
Little did Scherrman know, someone was posing as Grace Parry after hacking into her Facebook account.
She didn't suspect anything strange, because the Parrys often travelled overseas.
"I had flight tickets all ready for her, I would have gone the next day," Scherrman said.
Parry found out about the hacker when a cousin called to check on her.
She says the same message was going out to all her friends on her account.
"Mike and I are in London, we've been robbed, we've lost everything, including our cell phone, credit cards, airline tickets, and maybe need $600 to help us get home."
Parry immediately changed her password and tried to warn her friends, but for some like Jayne Scherrman, it was too late.
Parry says another friend also wired her $600.
"We were just sick about it, and feel very angry. Feel violated. You almost feel like you're an accomplice at gunpoint, we were used intentionally in this whole mess," Parry said.
Scherrman is a pediatric dentist. She says if someone could trick her into falling for a scam, it could happen to anyone.
"After that strong scolding I gave myself, and lectured myself and throwing up, I really am proud of myself that I love someone enough to do that."
On the plus side, both women say their friendship is stronger than ever.
Scherrman filed a police report, but doesn't expect to get her money back.
Heartland News tried to get in touch with Facebook and they emailed back saying they could not respond immediately because of the large number of requests.

Despite the loss to high-rated Bertrand, Maxwell Coach Lori Mau was pleased with the efforts of her young team.
"We made some strides tonight in the right direction," she said. "The girls came out ready to play and really worked hard on defense. They really dug a lot of balls tonight and fought a lot harder than we have."
Mau said Bertrand serve the ball real well, is very smart and has quick hitters.
"It was great for us to have a match like that this time of the season," she said. "It is nice to see the desire and fight come back in the girls. We hope to get some good practices in this week and be ready for sub-districts next week."

The following information describes the general responsibilities of MPILP's officers. This information does not capture all the work completed by MPILP's board, including full board collaboration in Auction preparation. The Board meets on average once a month during the school year, but more frequently in the weeks leading up to the Auction in March. All board members have fiduciary duties as officers of a corporation, distinguishing MPILP Board positions from those of student organizations.
Vianca Diaz & Julia Bates at email@example.com
|MPILP's Co-Presidents are responsible for the overall operation of the organization, and work closely with all members of the board, its faculty advisors, student attorneys, and the Law School Administration. The Presidents work very closely with Vice Presidents on all fundraisers, and are the primary coordinators of the Annual Goods and Services Auction. The Presidents also work carefully with the Treasurers. The Presidents represent MPILP to outside funders, including the Maryland Legal Services Corporation. The Presidents' role, in essence, is to oversee and participate in every aspect of MPILP and be fully informed of all issues that arise within the organization. Key to this role is organization, flexibility, fluency in MPILP's mission, ability to multi-task, and strong communication skills.
Vice PresidentContact:
Nathan McCurdy
Cheri Smith
|The primary task of the Vice Presidents is to communicate regularly with the Presidents, participate in goal-setting, organization and event planning meetings, and to each head up one fundraiser (currently Yeungs and Wings and Chili Cook-Off). The Vice Presidents also play critical roles in Auction preparation. It is not unusual for VPs to give reports at board meetings, speak at MPILP general body meetings, and represent MPILP in public gatherings.
Mallory Finn
Jocelyn Santos
|MPILP's Secretaries are responsible for taking minutes at MPILP board and general meetings, ensuring that MPILP meetings comply with its by-laws, and helping with other tasks as needed.
Ope Coker
Kristin Neubauer
|The Treasurers are particularly significant to MPILP as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation. The Treasurers handle MPILP's day-to-day finances, which includes managing MPILP's bank account, processing donations, coordinating the financial aspects of the Auction, preparing financial information for requests for outside funding, and preparing MPILP's tax returns (with assistance from MPILP's student attorney and a CPA). The Treasurers work closely with MPILP's Presidents. Normally, one treasurer manages the tax aspects of MPILP and the other handles more of the day-to-day business operations.
Alumni ChairContact:
Sharity Bannerman
|This position is dedicated to continuing MPILP's relationship with Maryland Law alumni. The Alumni Chair is MPILP's primary liaison with its Board of Advisors, and is involved with alumni-related Auction preparation and publicity. The Alumni Chair works with the Law School's Alumni office.
Community Service ChairContact:
Ashley Woolard
|This position's primary responsibilities are to organize and facilitate community service opportunities for MPILP members and the larger school community. Past opportunities have included working on buildings with Habitat for Humanity, packaging food baskets at the food bank, and providing food to the homeless with Project Jumpstart. By raising school-wide awareness of the needs of the greater Baltimore area, the Community Service Chairs are able to provide students with a true sense of MPILP's mission.
Donations CoordinatorContact:
Cliff Glover
|The Donations Coordinator is responsible for securing big ticket donations for the Auction. This position also coordinates volunteers who are soliciting donations for the Auction and reaches out to law firms and various other funders to collect donations at the time of the Auction. Major responsibility for this position occurs over winter break and in the early part of the spring semester.
Auction Publicity ChairContact:
Alyssa Navarrete
|The Publicity Chair is responsible for "getting the word out" about all MPILP events. In the fall, the Publicity Chairs generate school-wide publicity for fall fundraisers, and prepare publicity materials for the spring's Auction (i.e., designing the invitations, sending out early save-the-dates to alumni). The bulk of the work takes place in the spring with Auction duties such as finalizing invitations, placing event listings in local newspaper and event websites, speaking to first-year sections, and answering many email questions about the organization. The position involves significant collaboration with the faculty advisors and OSA.
Summer Grants CoordinatorContact:
Cody Mason
|The Grants Coordinator is responsible for everything involved with the Summer Grant selection process, including updating the grant application, holding informational sessions, fielding questions from applicants and sponsoring organizations, assisting in the formation of the selection committee, holding the selection meeting, and maintaining a fair and unbiased process. Finally, this position is responsible for ensuring that grant recipients satisfy their volunteer hours to MPILP. This position requires organization and strict confidentiality as the selection process is anonymous.
At Large ChairsContact:
Stephanie Klock
Theresa Mahfood
David Zeledon
|The At-Large Chair is a position that does not have a set of defined tasks. At-Large Chairs are expected to provide extra support for MPILP's activities throughout the year. They are a part of the Auction Committee and play a big part in making sure the auction goes smoothly.
Grant WriterContact:
Nigah Mughal
|The Grant Writer's primary responsibility is to prepare requests for funding on behalf of MPILP. The Grant Writer also regularly represents MPILP to outside funders, including the Maryland Legal Services Corporation, USGA, SBA, and the Cardin Foundation. This position works closely with MPILP's Presidents and Treasurer.
Booksale ChairContact:
Dana Krohn
|The Booksale Chair is in charge of collecting donations of used textbooks for MPILP's booksale, running a booksale at the start and end of each semester, and selling donated books online.

I was fortunate to start out as a documentary photographer at the birth of the British colour magazines in the 1960s, and worked regularly for the Sunday Times and Telegraph magazines. After shooting for a year in America on a grant, I began shooting for the Smitsonian Magazine, National Geographic Traveler and American , German and French Geo. I have always pursued personal projects, and the tempo and depth of these has only increased in recent years with the added creative impetuous that digital photography has opened up. It's fair to say that "LONDONERS !" would have been prohibitively expensive to shoot on film, and could only have reached the present book dummy stage thanks to Blurb.

Dry spell threatens to raise price of agricultural products and elecricity
print this
The continued dryness of the summer has weakened hopes for a good harvest. It is estimated that the total grain harvest in Finland could fall below three billion kilos - about a billion less than last year's record crop. In addition to grain, the dry summer is reducing vegetable crops, and is leading to a shortage of animal feed. The extra costs are likely to be passed on to the consumer in the coming months.
The lack of water means that grain is ripening too early, before the individual kernels have grown sufficiently. Especially in the south of Finland, farmers have already harvested stunted barley.
The situation is similar
to that which prevails in many other countries. Grain has already been harvested in France, the largest grain producer in Europe, where the price of a tonne of wheat has risen from EUR 110 to EUR 130.
Grain prices are set to rise in Finland as well.
Small grain size is a problem. In the worst case it can make the entire crop unsalable.
On the other hand, the protein content of small kernels is high, which is good for the production of bread, but bad for malt barley.
Finland is both an importer and exporter of grain. Finland has sold about half a million tonnes of feed grain to other countries. The main import is rye. Last year nearly 70,000 tonnes of it were imported.
Not even rain can save
the grain harvest - in fact, at this stage it would only further harm the quality, and make harvesting more difficult.
Heavy rains at this stage would reduce the starch content of grain, and cancel out the advantage of a dry summer - the lower cost of drying grain, which usually accounts for about ten percent of the price.
Crops that could benefit from rain
include potatoes, vegetables, and rapeseed.
Food stores have already reported a shortage of vegetables such as cauliflower, even though many vegetable farmers have been irrigating their fields day and night.
The hot and dry weather has also hurt cattle grazing areas, forcing farmers to buy more feed. However, thanks to last year's bumper crop in hay, many farms still have silage left over from last year.
Nevertheless, the shortage of animal feed could force many farmers to prematurely sell their cattle for slaughter.
The dry spell has made the EU relax its regulations on the use of fallow land. Last week, the EU decided to allow grass growing on fallow fields in all of Finland to be fed to cattle.
The lack of rain has also reduced
the amount of water available for the production of hydroelectric power.
For instance, the electricity producer Fortum has had to take more of its coal-fired plants into use. The company says that if the situation continues, it might be forced to buy more greenhouse gas emission rights. This could lead to higher consumer prices for electricity.
Last year there was so much hydroelectric power available, that both Fortum and Pohjolan Voima were able to sell emission rights.
Previously in HS International Edition:
Lakes more than half meter lower than normal in unusually dry summer (2.8.2006)
Quarter of Finland´s emission allowances unused last year (16.5.2006)
Figures on last year´s greenhouse gas emissions brings down prices in allowances trade (28.4.2006)

QuestionI am currently going through a break-up with my fiancée. We have been engaged for 1 year and were supposed to get married this coming May.
However, we have been dealing with a recurring problem for 2 years that has caused all kinds of problems. This is obviously a trust issue.
It all began when I had the habit of staring (to women), and I did not realize I was doing it until she came down on me for doing so. I immediately agreed to it, but she started to feel insecure about herself and blamed me for it.
Then, I switched jobs to where a friend of my older sister worked. I knew her from a long time and had a cordial relationship (work relationship).
My fiancée started to accuse me of having a crush on her because supposedly, I spoke about her a lot. Anyway, I got really annoyed at the situation and I started trying to protect her from her insecurities.
The worst thing I could have ever done was when we all had a work trip to the UK, in which this girl had to go as well, and I decided to tell my fiancée that she was not going so I did not have to make her upset.
Well, the trip got cancelled and I accidentally told her that we we're not going and since then, she thinks that I was planning on doing something to her with this other girl. What can I do?
I tried to make things easier and somehow it came out worse. There are other similar cases but she cannot get over these insecurities. The fact is that I am so in-love with my fiancee and have been trying to make her happy and spend all of the time with her.
She recently told me that she wanted time because she feels bad about herself, not pretty enough, and thinks that I am not into her when the reality is the COMPLETE opposite. It has been over 2 weeks and I tried talking to her but it gets worse. What can I do?
I love this woman with everything I've got and don't want to have to end this when we are 2 people that love each other so much. I did speak with her mother and she suggested that I stay away as I was being to available to her?!?!
What can I do? I love her to death and I am feeling like somebody cut my heart out.
Please excuse the length of this e-mail. Any suggestions as what I can do will be greatly appreciated.

So all in all it was a really fun party. I will say though that there were a couple of girls who really were having a hard time enjoying the party because they were pretty wrapped up in playing girl games- the insipid games where this one is mad at that one and this one is feeling excluded and I have to say I really don't know a good way to deal with all of that. It really hasn't been something that has come up with our kids but I remember those games from growing up a girl and it has been an ongoing thing this year. Does anyone have any good books on this subject or any advice on how you have dealt with this? Luckily the bulk of the girls were oblivious to what was going on and had a great time. I did notice though that M seemed to get wrapped up in the fact that people were unhappy and I would love to show her a way to be compassionate without being manipulated. It is a tricky concept to teach a six year old.
As fun as all this birthday stuff is, I am glad to have a few months before the next party!

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A suspect sent Toledo
Police on a chase, which caused one police cruiser to barrel into – and wreck –
a pair of parked cars in West Toledo. Now at least one owner is stuck footing
the bill.
Ron Hyatt says he got a
call from his niece early Monday, saying his car was wrecked because police ran
into it. When he tried to get help with the repairs from the city, he says they
told him the bill was on him because they have immunity when responding to
emergency calls.
TPD says they were in the
middle of a routine traffic stop on Wyndhurst and Greenway, when the suspect,
Anthony Triplett, took off in his car. Police followed with the help of an
additional unit.
One of the cruisers lost
control going over a speed bump, and hit the parked cars.
"Accidents happen," Hyatt
said. "In most cases, there should be a limit to liability. But I think they
should at least reimburse, or do something for the people that suffer a loss at
their hands."
Hyatt says his car was
impounded by the police, and he can either pay to have it towed, or let them
take possession of it. He says he will probably choose the latter, because it
will cost him less.

Q & A with Ramogi Huma, NCPA President
Ramogi Huma reached out to us a while back when he found our site, and since that time we have been communicating back and forth on the topic of oversigning. Just recently, Mr. Huma provided testimony in a legislative hearing in the state of Connecticut that included the proposal of Committee Bill No. 5415, AN ACT REQUIRING FULL DISCLOSURE TO PROSPECTIVE ATHLETES BEING RECRUITED TO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. From the NCPA website press release:
"In 1973, the NCAA made athletic scholarships renewable on a year-to-year basis," Sack said. "Four-year scholarships are a thing of the past."
The result, Sack said, is that high school students and their families often are unaware when and how a college can rescind a scholarship.
While NCAA rules state that athletic aid cannot be reduced or cancelled during the one-year period of the award because of athletic ability or injury, Sack said, "the rules are murky when it comes to conditions for the renewal and non-renewal of the scholarships in the subsequent year."
"Some universities renew scholarships for four years as long as athletes continue playing and adhere to team rules," said Sack. "Others cancel scholarships for poor athletic performance or for injury."
The Bill also included an Article specific to oversigning:
(F) The policy of the institution of higher education regarding whether or not such institution may choose to sign more recruited student athletes than it has available athletic scholarships and the consequences to the athletic scholarship opportunities of recruited and current student athletes in such situations.
Upon receiving word from Mr. Huma that they included provisions for creating transparency relative to oversigning (c&p from his email):
"Your work bringing the oversigning issue to national discussion was crucial in addressing oversigning in the Connecticut legislation."
We asked Mr. Huma if he would answer a few questions and allow us to share his response with our readers. Keep in mind, while reading the Q&A session, Mr. Huma is the President of a non-profit organization with over 14,000 student-athlete members. Therefore, he is hearing from players and parents what very few of us hear in the national media. His comments are very telling in our opinion.
How long has oversigning been on your radar and when did it become a topic of concern?
"I bumped into oversigning.com last spring while doing research to support a bill that the NCPA sponsored in California, and the practice of oversigning immediately became a topic of concern."
The recent legislative proposal included an article that addresses oversigning and is calling for universities to disclose whether or not they engage in oversigning and what the consequences are for the student-athlete given that the institution engages in that practice. Obviously, the goal here is to help educate parents and players by forcing the universities to post their policy on oversigning on their athletic website. From your perspective, how aware of oversigning are parents and recruits?
"Parents and recruits have no idea that oversigning takes place. The only ones that eventually become aware are those that find out the hard way, which usually means that their school is forcing them to gray shirt or is not renewing their scholarship."
Many fans that support oversigning have a hard time believing that the practice really harms kids, we have tried change the way people think in that regard on the oversigning.com site, but yet there are still some that are not convinced. What would you say to those people?
"Typically when schools oversign, an incoming player is gray shirted or a player already on the roster loses a scholarship. I have personally fielded numerous calls from both categories of players from all sports who are informed that their scholarship will not be available upon arrival or will not be renewed. All have been devastated by not only the loss of their means to earn a degree, but the deep sense of betrayal by their coach/college. For the incoming players, many of them have to try to pay their own way through school without any guarantee that they will ever receive a scholarship. Many of these families have not prepared for such expenses since the schools had promised a scholarship. In addition, other previously interested schools lose interest because their rosters are already full.
For current players that lose their scholarship to make room for an incoming recruit, those fortunate enough to transfer to another school often suffer academically because many of their credits are not accepted by the new school, they have to change their major, and have to sit out a year before competition. Others drop out of school. Most of these players had been promised 4 years as long as they kept their grades up and abided by team rules. Players are not aware that a school can revoke a scholarship for any reason. Most of the players I've spoken to have been in good academic standing, have participated fully in mandatory and 'voluntary' workouts, and have not broken a team rule. Make no mistake, the young student-athletes and parents I have spoken are completely devastated. That's the first time I've heard the argument that players whose scholarships are taken away or are forced to grey shirt are not harmed. I hope its the last time. We should be focusing on ways to solve this problem not spending our energy debating whether or not a knife wound really hurts."
Outside of the proposed state legislation, what would you like to see the NCAA or the SEC conference do to address the issue? The Big 10 Conference addressed this issue back in 1954 and it appears that their rules, which were slightly relaxed in 2002 to allow occasional oversigning with the understanding that everything is transparent and processed through the conference office to ensure there is not player abuse taking place to make the roster numbers work, should the SEC and the rest of college football simply adopt those rules or is something more needed?
"While the NCPA believes in and is currently pushing for better transparency on this issue, I believe that there is a better solution. Schools should not be allowed to sign more players than they have scholarships."
And lastly, some have made the point that closing the oversigning loophole will simply move the attrition further upstream so that the number of openings that exist on NSD are greater, essentially meaning that roster purging would take place in Dec/Jan instead of after February and before August. A.) Do you think that closing the loophole will result in further abuses upstream, and B.) how would you address that if it happens?
A.) It is possible that some coaches would remove players from the rosters early unless 2 things happen (see B)
1. All scholarship non-seniors listed on the roster at the beginning of the season are counted toward the scholarship count on National Signing Day. Coaches wouldn't have an incentive to purge the roster before signing day because it wouldn't allow them to sign an excess number of players.
2. Schools should have a second signing period in July to fill scholarship openings due to players who transfer, become academically ineligible, suffer a career ending injury, etc.
With these two provisions, coaches can address natural attrition without the ability to deny a signee a scholarship or remove an existing player due to oversigning. If all of the colleges played by the same rules, none would have an unfair advantage and players' educational opportunities would not be sacrificed.
Quick Update
We have been busy the last couple of days exchanging emails with Ramogi Huma, President at NCPA and Chad Hawley, Associate Commissioner from the Big 10 Conference regarding oversigning. We have two interesting pieces coming, hopefully later tonight, if not we'll have them up tomorrow. Here are some tidbits.
1. Ramogi Huma brought it to our attention that he provided testimony during a legislative hearing in the state of Connecticut to propose legislation that would require institutions to state whether or not they engage in oversigning and if they do what the ramifications are for the student-athlete. There were several other topics discussed during the hearing and included in the proposal. In addition, Mr. Huma was gracious enough to do a question and answer session with us via email, in which he has some very interesting comments on the topic of oversigning, and we will be sharing that with you soon as well.
2. In an effort to continue to work on the recruiting numbers for the oversigning cup, we sent a request to Chad Hawley regarding the numbers for Big 10 Conference teams, in addition, we asked Mr. Hawley to share with us how the Big 10 rules work for monitoring the signing process, specifically the monitoring of oversigning. As with Mr. Huma, Mr. Hawley was gracious enough to give us a detailed account of how the Big 10 office monitors oversigning and we will be sharing that with you as well. Note: Mr. Hawley sheds some light on a few things we did not know that all of you should find very interesting.
Thanks for reading! Updates coming soon!

The opening track, "Attilla 02 (Dawning Ritual)" begins with the entire ensemble engaged in a springy rhythmic cycle over a drone, creating immediate tension and anticipation. Coleman, Finlayson, and Albright play solos with agitated outpouring, matched by Shyu's yearning vocalese.
"Beba" swings and flounces playfully. The horns and vocals interject backgrounds to Coleman's solo with lilting phrases, mimicking conversation. The exchanges build up to collective exclamations that punctuate Sorey's laughing drum solo. The humorous discussion climaxes with counterpoint that layers droll melodies with pointed jabs.
All of the tracks on Harvesting Semblances and Affinities are Coleman originals, with the exception of "Flos Ut Rosa Floruit," a piece by Per Nørgård, a Danish composer who shares Coleman's taste for mathematically-based musical material. Coleman's arrangement contains a surprising degree of consonance and soft-spoken beauty, which Shyu emphasizes with aching sighs.

OP Mall cleared after CCSO investigates bomb threat | Crime
ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- Shoppers and employees are allowed back into the Orange Park Mall after the Clay County Sheriff's Office investigated a bomb threat to the mall.
A call came in that there was a bomb in the mall and the caller said if deputies responded, they would open fire on them, according to CCSO Lt. Wolf.
No bomb or suspicious individuals were found during the sweep. During the sweep, the same caller called several times from the same number threatening the same thing.
Deputies checked the mall and worked with its staff to ensure the safety
of shoppers, according to CCSO spokesperson Mary Justino.
During the investigation, an announcement came over the public
announcement system for everyone in Sears and the surrounding kiosks to
As stores and areas of the mall were being checked, mall management either evacuated or locked down certain areas of the mall. Businesses are now returning to normal operations.
CCSO was able to ping the caller and found that they were headed into Jacksonville. John Finotti of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority confirmed that a bomb threat on the Skyway did come in.
The number cannot be identified and as of now, deputies are considering this a hoax. The investigation into who placed the call is ongoing.

What is HILIC?
Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography
HILIC or Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography is a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) technique for separation of polar and hydrophilic compounds. Originally the separation technique was called "Hydrophilic-Interaction Chromatography", and occasionally the expression "Aqueous Normal Phase" has also been used.
To put it simple one can say that HILIC is a normal-phase type of separation but uses reversed-phase type eluents.
Thus, in HILIC one has:
A typical HILIC application uses acetonitrile at a concentration between 50-95% in an aqueous buffer such as ammonium formate, ammonium acetate or their acids, which have high solubility in organic solvents. HILIC can be used with many detection techniques, but when combined with electro spray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for example, HILIC will also enable higher sensitivities.
Reversed Elution Order Compared to RPLC
The elution order in HILIC is roughly the reverse of that in RPLC (Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography). A compound that elutes in the void volume on a RPLC column typically has high retention in HILIC, and vice versa, see Figure 1.
Compounds such as, acids, bases, ions, sugars, and other charged and neutral hydrophilic compounds that are troublesome to separate in RPLC, are much easier to separate in HILIC due to the different separation selectivity. Some compounds are possible to separate by more than one chromatographic technique, and HILIC does in that respect partly overlap both with RPLC, NPLC (Normal Phase Liquid Chromatography) and IC (Ion Chromatography). Figure 2 illustrates the overlap between these different chromatographic techniques.

So, MarioD was wondering about this in a previous fanpost, so I asked Gabriel Desjardins from Behind the Net for some stats. He was nice enough to give me data from the past two years. So, I went through the data and found those Flyers that are currently on the team. This list includes Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Danny Briere, Darroll Powe, Claude Giroux, Blair Betts, Ian Laperriere, and Jared Ross. If I missed one, or there's someone you'd like to know about, just ask.
Here's the file: Flyers Faceoff Data 07-09 and league-wide: NHL Faceoff Data
