To understand what football means to Andrew Ralph, you have to have laced up the spikes, strapped on the pads and buttoned the chin strap.
"The best way I can describe it is, if you haven't played, you don't know," said Ralph, who also plays basketball and baseball. "The feeling of emotion, effort, being on defense, bringing the energy every play, it's something I thrive off of."
Ralph brings those three Es to the safety position for Chesterton, where he's been a fixture since then-coach Jon Snyder plugged him in as a sophomore.
"Most kids coast by as freshmen and sophomores. Andrew seized the moment," first-year Trojans coach Mark Peterson said. "It's tough, being a three-sport athlete, but he's always on top of his game. His experience is invaluable. He's incredibly positive with the younger kids. He's just a natural leader."
A junior on a 10-senior defense last season, Ralph is the sole holdover in a new group that's learning on the fly. The unit was lit up for over 450 yards at South Bend St. Joseph and Ralph is doing his part to steady the ship.
"When people say, 'Oh, you've got 10 new guys,' as a group, we take it personally," Ralph said. "To us, who cares? We're 11 guys on the field working our butts off. Part of it was inexperience, part of it was first-game jitters, but we're watching film, learning. There's a lot of stuff to work on, but there were a lot of good things to build off of. You have to stay positive. Offense is going to be have good plays. It's how you take it. You have to stay positive, keep battling, stay motivated."
Known for his physical presence, Ralph also knows how important the mental side of football is. A 4.72 GPA student who ranks third in his class of 515, he's become an intuitive player who reacts without having to process. That split-second of time often determines the outcome of a play.
"The game starts to slow down," Ralph said. "That comes with experience. It's easy for me to pick up on stuff. You play fast, make reads, get to spots and make plays on the ball. You don't have to think about it. Your body just goes."
With so many newbies on defense, Ralph is one that Peterson doesn't have to worry about.
"We know we can tell him one time and he's going to get it right," Peterson said. "It's more than just being smart. It's football knowledge. Football's a simple game for Andrew and he's made it simpler. He's always in position, making the right reads, doing the right things, saying the right things. He's got a nose for the football. No one else can do what Andrew does."
A solid 180 pounds, Ralph excels in run support and also likes to leave his calling card with pass catchers down field.
"I've always been more of a hitter," he said. "I'm not one to sit back and drop into coverage. I want to come up and get in on the act. If you light up (a receiver), they're going to be thinking twice the next time."
The D-II/III recruit hopes to find a school that fits both his football and educational interests.
"I want to play in college, but it's always been academics first," he said.
For now, he wants to make some scrapbook memories, and his list doesn't include a mediocre senior season.
"It definitely puts a chip on our shoulder, to hear that," Ralph said. "I don't put a lot of stock in what people say. They don't know what we're capable of. We can definitely surprise a lot of people who are thinking that. We've got a lot to prove."

Oh gypsy.
Oh guys, things are about to get really tough for gypsy in my home town.
If a the new city ordinate passes, gypsy won't be able to go for a walk with out two leashs, one connected to her neck, and one connected to a muzzle.
Thinking about it makes me want to cry.
Tonight there was a town meeting to discuss the pitbull problem.
With in the last few months, pitbulls have gotten a really bad reputation. There have been a couplesof attacks. Pitbulls going after smaller dogs, their are some truly horrifying stories of elderly people walking their dogs and being unable to protect their animal.
It's awful. I first hand have experienceed it. I have a breed if grey hound called a whippet. My little old lady, ally. Ally is almost 12. I've been chased, I've been bitten. It's a horrible feeling to stand helpless as a huge dog attacks yours.
Not to long ago I wrote a very angry post when a pit attacked my dog and I a block from my home. But even that day, my anger was directed at the owner. I had watched the owner open their front door, and let the pit run out to pee. Pits are big high energy dogs. That first off, is completely unacceptable.
This pit saw my dog and I, and made a beeline towards us. Before I knew it my dog was down. I screamed. I screamed the entire time. I began smashing the did with the blunt end of my leash.
I was bit, on my legs. A car pulled over and ripped the dog off mine.
This has happened at least 20 times.
That day I pounded on the front door until someone came to the front door.
I screamed "this is why pitbulls have a bad name! Because they have shitty owners!"
And that's the bottom line. Don't make a whole breed suffer. Pitbulls have a strong jaw. My pitbull gypsy, the dog I'm cuddling, has chewed shoes, jackets, and my sink. She gets anxiouse and chews. I'm aware if this. I stock up on raw hides.
Gypsy is very well trained, and will stand right beside me if I take her outside. But if go further than my yard she wears a harness.
I live in an inner city. Unfortunatly dog fighting is a massive problem here. But I want to explain something. Pitbulls arent mean dogs. Fighting dogs are trained to be mean. Most are fed gun powder to give them brain damage.
Pits are simply picked for that strong jaw I was talking about earlier.
My pitbull gypsy wouldn't hurt a soul. But she also has two owners that love her.
We don't need a town meeting to talk about our pitbull problem, we need a meeting to discuss our shitty human problem.
Please reblog this. Spread the word.

Keep your eye on Waukesha, Wisconsin. Their biggest employer just moved out. General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha , Wis. , to Beijing.
In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes – the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States.
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs.
I guess the president forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.
Thanks Jeff, you're a "real" American…. and give Obama our best!
If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this president, I don't know what does.

text: Sacha Greif: Analytics Showdown » My main conclusion is that the whole process of setting up and trying out different analytics solutions is pretty stupid. You're basically doing the same setup twice and sending the same data to two different services. I'd love for someone to centralize all the data, and then dispatch it to various analytics providers. This way you'd only need to set things up once, and then could try out various services without any changes to your codebase. I imagine this could even be done through a client-side Javascript script. Anyway, one can always dream… (unless you actually want to build this, in which case let me know!) + 1 Mar 2012

After leaving Monday's game in Cleveland because of a non-contact injury, Carmelo Anthony revealed postgame that he's been dealing with a sore right knee for a "couple of weeks." Anthony's availability for the Knicks' game in Detroit Wednesday is yet to be determined. According to Fred Kerber, New York Post: Anthony has battled a sore right knee for "a couple weeks," he said, feeling enough discomfort to warrant an MRI "a couple days ago." That test came back clean and Anthony believes there is nothing seriously wrong… …He said his knee bothered him yesterday [against Heat] but he tried to play. Coach Mike Woodson knew something was amiss. "One time he wanted to come out so obviously it was bothering him," said Woodson, who added there will be more evaluations today. "He never asks to come out of the game."

In studies of biodiversity, considerations of scale—the spatial or temporal domain to which data provide inference—are important because of the non-arithmetic manner in which species richness increases with area (and total abundance) and because fine-scale mechanisms (for example, recruitment, growth, and mortality of species) can interact with broad scale patterns (for example, habitat patch configuration) to influence dynamics in space and time. The key to understanding these dynamics is to consider patterns of environmental heterogeneity, including patterns produced by natural and anthropogenic disturbance. We studied how spatial variation in three aspects of biodiversity of terrestrial gastropods (species richness, species diversity, and nestedness) on the 16-ha Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot (LFDP) in a tropical forest of Puerto Rico was affected by disturbance caused by Hurricanes Hugo and Georges, as well as by patterns of historic land use. Hurricane-induced changes in spatial organization of species richness differed from those for species diversity. The gamma components of species richness changed after the hurricanes and were significantly different between Hurricanes Hugo and Georges. Alpha and two beta components of species richness, one related to turnover among sites within areas of similar land use and one related to variation among areas of different land use, varied randomly over time after both hurricanes. In contrast, gamma components of species diversity decreased in indistinguishable manners after both hurricanes, whereas the rates of change in the alpha component of species diversity differed between hurricanes. Beta components of diversity related to turnover among sites declined after both hurricanes in a consistent fashion. Those related to turnover among areas with different historic land uses varied stochastically. The immediate effect of hurricanes was to reduce nestedness of gastropod assemblages. Thereafter, nestedness increased during post-hurricane secondary succession, and did so in the same way, regardless of patterns of historic land use. The rates of change in degree of nestedness during secondary succession were different after each hurricane as a result of differences in the severity and extent of the hurricane-induced damage. Our analyses quantified temporal changes in the spatial organization of biodiversity of gastropod assemblages during forest recovery from hurricane-induced damage in areas that had experienced different patterns of historic human land use, and documented the dependence of biodiversity on spatial scale. We hypothesize that cross-scale interactions, likely those between the local demographics of species at the fine scale and the landscape configuration of patches at the broad scale, play a dominant role in affecting critical transfer processes, such as dispersal, and its interrelationship with aspects of biodiversity. Cross-scale interactions have significant implications for the conservation of biodiversity, as the greatest threats to biodiversity arise from habitat modification and fragmentation associated with disturbance arising from human activities.

Greetings;I have a nice set of Bose Bookshelf speakers that I'd like to keep using, when I get rid of my vintage 1991 Kenwood receiver. The Surround System I'm thinking of getting has 6Ohm speakers.Question: Will I destroy the amplifier if I connect 8Ohm speakers to an amp that's expecting a 6Ohm load?Specifically, I'm considering the Sony HT-DDW790 or maybe the 990.
Generally a higher impedence speaker results in lower efficiency but not damage to the amp.
Meaning you have to pump the volume up higher to achieve the equivlant result as you would against a 6-Ohm speaker?
Yes, it won't be as loud (at the same setting). It will be 25% less efficient.See if the amp has a switch for setting a different OHM rating. I've seen some with the choice of 4 or 8, but often not 6.
The Sony seems to be rated at 6-Ohm only. No switch for 4-Ohm or 8-Ohm. Since the Sony has settings to balance the volume between rear, R/L, and center, the lower sound coming from my 8-Ohm speakers won't be an issue, because i can compensate.
8 OHM on a 6 OHM amp will be less load on the amp - but will yield less volume at same volume setting(as others have stated).No damage will occur! --Think outside the Fox... Opera
I mis-read your post(s). I thought the speakers were the odd rating, not the receiver. Since the receiver is one of those all-in-one setups, there's no harm in Sony making the receiver 6-ohm capable. They expect people to use their 6-ohm speakers with it.
No issue at all as others have mentioned. The only side effect would be more heat, so just make sure (like will all amps) that there is good air circulation.
You have to turn the amp up higher to get the same volume. It will run hotter. It would be the same heat only if he keeps the volume the same, but warmer if he turns it up.
At max volume setting, the amp will run cooler with 8 OHM speakers than it will with 6 OHM speakers.Less load = Less heat. --Think outside the Fox... Opera
1 recommendation
Quote from another forum:Your receiver feeds voltage to your speakers. For every volt that it feeds to an 8 ohm speaker it will have to deliver one eighth of an amp. Current equals voltage divided by resistance; that's Ohm's law. (We'll skip the complexities of reactive loads for now.)The good news is that your receiver was designed for 6 ohm speakers. This means that it is capable of delivering one sixth of an amp for each volt. It can but, with eight ohm speakers, it doesn't have to. As pdq points out, it doesn't have to work so hard. The only drawback is that you will get less power - for which read less volume. Power equals voltage multiplied by current. Your receiver feeds the same voltage to your 8 ohm speakers but you only get 75% of the current that you would have got with 6 ohm speakers.It's like having a light fitting marked "Max 100 watts" but you've only got a 75 watt bulb. That lower power bulb won't damage your light fittimg but it won't be as bright either. Actually, reducing your power by 25% isn't nearly as bad as it sounds. It's only 1.25 decibels and most people (apart from the audio experts on this forum) would hardly notice unless you told them. Just turn the volume up a bit.
Thank you!
just dont do the reverse.you would not believe the amount of shorted amplifier units i get in my shop from customers connecting 4 ohm spkrs to 8/16 ohm amps that crank the volume up for long periods and those that connect 2 or more 4 ohm spkrs per channel to an 8/16 ohm amp.i see this very often with car amps.--S.C.P.D. Live Scanner FeedN.C.P.D. Live Scanner Feed
should be no issuse i run 4ohm Speakers with no issuse(back speakers)front speakers L-R are 3Ohms Center is 6ohms(Sub is 3ohms)the APM is speakers only = 8ohms / SUB only = 4ohm it gets to 0C at night here so heat is not an issusei have yet to fry the reciver IT's FROM WAL-MART toolenoxx HT-395

It sounds like they're using the "Sons of the Batman" from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" and the bat-dressed vigilantes from the movie "The Dark Knight". It could be really cool.
|Leonardo Ferreira
No, no, no. Please no. This is the worst idea ever had.
|Amir Sharar
If anyone were to make an FPS Batman game (as crazy as that sounds) and do it justice, it's Monolith. The Condemned games had a lot of atmosphere, tension, and pulled off first person melee combat surprisingly well. Everyone does FPS games nowadays, but Monolith seems like the perfect fit for this admittedly crazy idea.
Also, if I get to use a grappling hook a la Quake 2 I'm happy. :)
I can somewhat see why people are held up on the "FPS" part, but at the same time it has to be realized that this first person view can be leveraged when designing the "detective" part of Batman's crime fighting. Searching for visual clues, using your Bat-gadgets to reveal clues, and presenting the story in a more immersive manner are things that can be done well from a first person perspective. Condemned did these things well, which again leads me to believe Monolith was the best choice.
|DanielThomas MacInnes
Ah, yes! This is just like my favorite Batman comic, where the Caped Crusader carries a rocket launcher around and fires one-liners at space pigs and tips the dancers at the clubs. Good times.

Letter to the Editor: America is not dead or doomed
Since Barack Obama won reelection and Republicans failed to take control of the Senate, I have been reading comments such as, "America is dead," and "America is doomed."
America is not dead, or doomed. Though many who voted for the president, and other Democrats, may believe she has avoided doom, I believe that in many ways she has suffered some serious setbacks, but she is not dead or doomed.
America is a survivor. She has survived numerous crises in her time, and she will survive now. The election returned the government to the same status quo of tax and spend, and trampling the Constitution and morality, which can only hurt, not help to solve the mess we are in.
But, the election is past. It is time to move on. What we need to do now is flood our elected officials with posts, Facebook messages, tweets, letters, etc. telling them that the tax and spend must end. The serious matter of the "fiscal cliff" and "sequestration" are beginning to be addressed in Washington. Write your representatives and urge them to cut unnecessary spending and not raise taxes.
For example, urge them to adopt Congressman Paul Ryan's plan which will cut $2.5 trillion over 10 years, and does not include cuts from Social Security or the military. Other cuts will be necessary, but these should be at the top of the list.
Many senior citizens are barely able to survive as it is and cannot afford any cuts to their Social Security income. Military spending must not be cut for the sake of the nation's security, and the jobs of thousands of military personnel. Further, urge them to adopt Ryan's Medicare reform proposals. This proposal was much maligned and mischaracterized during the election, but it protects Medicare for those reaching retirement age in the future without changing it for those under it now or the near future.
Cuts are always painful. But they must be made. This is a serious matter and our representatives must give it serious attention. Write your representatives and urge them to do so.
L. John Bost, Strasburg

If the materials are nonregulated, nonexotic substances and there is some idea of their composition, a general characterization can be attempted; however, if the material is totally unknown, there might be additional costs for specialized characterization and disposal. For example, cylinders of unknown gas have to be sampled in such a way that the gas can be characterized, and a specialist might be needed to do it; this could increase the disposal cost greatly.
In summary, research laboratories are unique in the small quantities but varied nature of the waste substances that they produce. In particular, many new materials of unknown toxicity and hazard are created. That makes it difficult to dispose of chemicals in a cost-effective and timely manner. Some facilities have been forced to modify or limit the type of research that they conduct because of the difficulties involved in handling some of the waste generated as a result.1 To alleviate the difficulties posed by the 90-day limit, some research facilities are going to the expense of obtaining a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B permit so that they can continue to store materials beyond this limit.
Maintaining compliance with regulations is often difficult for laboratories. Environmental regulations, such as the RCRA, are written for manufacturing facilities and difficult to interpret for a laboratory.
In maintaining compliance, because of the large number of sources within a facility, it is sometimes very difficult to determine which source generated a particular waste. For example, if a facility exceeds a limit (such as a low pH or a metal concentration) at a sampling point in a waste stream, tracing the problem to the source can be expensive and time-consuming, if it is even possible.
Maintaining accurate reports is also difficult, inasmuch as researchers order their chemicals from many places. That makes it hard to keep accurate track of what is on site so that the health and safety staff can provide or obtain environmental-compliance information regarding particular chemicals. Records for radioactive materials almost invariably are better than those for chemicals because the regulatory requirements that apply to radioactive materials are more stringent.
Organizational management and operational incentives in university settings differ from those in manufacturing environments. The culture and structure in a university setting make effective dissemination and enforcement of regulations more difficult. In a university setting, each investigator is a small, independent enterprise, operating quasi-independently.
Some institutions are making efforts to improve their ability to comply with environmental regulations by conducting audits of the laboratories--not just once, but repeatedly in some cases--and developing chemical-tracking systems using bar codes that trace chemicals " from cradle to grave" within a site.
For example, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign refuses requests for the purchase of radioisotopes in a small number of cases because of the difficulty in handling the wastes that would be produced.

Tue Jan 31, 2012 3:15 pm Wilson's beard was unavoidable after winning the World Series in 2010, but he wasn't the same pitcher last season. He missed time with elbow issues and struggled with his control, posting a 5.1 BB/9 rate and a dropping strikeout rate along with lower velocity. The hope is that his problems were just injury-related, but the signs are still worrisome and have dropped him below the elite closers in the league despite him constantly showing up in those Taco Bell commercials.
Fantasy Source Spin: Wilson enters 2012 as a somewhat-risky closer, but the upside remains intact.

empty chemical hoods are turned off when the laboratory is not in use.
9.C.2.8 Testing and Verification
The OSHA lab standard includes a provision regarding laboratory chemical hoods, including a requirement for some type of continuous monitoring device on each chemical hood to allow the user to verify performance and routine testing of the hood. It does not specify a test protocol.
Laboratory chemical hoods should be tested at least as follows:
• containment test by manufacturer;
• containment test after installation and prior to initial use (commissioning);
• annual or more frequent face velocity and airflow visualization;
• performance test any time a potential problem is reported; and
• containment test after significant changes to the ventilation system, including rebalancing or recommissioning.
9.C.2.8.1 Initial Testing
All laboratory chemical hoods should be tested before they leave the manufacturer according to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 110-1995 or equivalent, Methods of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods (ANSI, 1995). They should pass the low- and high-volume smoke challenges with no leakage or flow reversals and have a control level of 0.05 ppm or less on the tracer gas test. It is highly recommended that chemical hoods be retested by trained personnel after installation in their final location, using ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995 or equivalent testing. The control level of tracer gas for an "as installed" or "as used" test via the ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995 method should not exceed 0.1 ppm.
The ANSI/ASHRAE 110-1995 test is the most practical way to determine chemical hood capture efficiency quantitatively. The test includes several components, which may be used together or separately, including face velocity testing, flow visualization, face velocity controller response testing, and tracer gas containment testing. These tests are much more accurate than face velocity and smoke testing alone. Respectively, ASHRAE and ANSI found that 28% or 38% of chemical hoods tested using this method did not meet the pass criteria, even though face velocity testing alone found them to be in an acceptable face velocity range.
Performance should be evaluated against the design Specifications for uniform airflow across the chemical hood face as well as for the total exhaust air volume. Equally important is the evaluation of operator exposure. The first step in the evaluation of hood performance is the use of a smoke tube or similar device to determine that the laboratory chemical hood is on and exhausting air. The second step is to measure the velocity of the airflow at the face of the hood. The third step is to determine the uniformity of air delivery to the hood face by making a series of face velocity measurements taken in a grid pattern.
Leak testing is normally conducted using a mannequin equipped with sensors for the test gas. As an alternative, a person wearing the sensors or collectors may follow a sequence of movements to simulate common activities, such as transferring chemicals. It is most accurate to perform the in-place tests with the chemical hood at least partially loaded with common materials (e.g., chemical containers filled with water, equipment normally used in the chemical hood), in order to be more representative of operating conditions.
For the ASHRAE 110-1995 leak testing, the method calls for a release rate for the test gas of 4 liters per minute (Lpm), but suggests that higher rates may be used. One-liter per minute release rate approximates pouring a volatile solvent from one beaker to another. Eight liters per minute approximates boiling water on a 500-W hot plate. The 4-Lpm rate is an intermediate of these two conditions. If there is a possibility that the chemical hood will be used for volatile materials under heating conditions, consider a higher release rate of up to 8 Lpm for worst-case conditions.
The total volume of air exhausted by a laboratory chemical hood is the sum of the face volume (average face velocity times face area of the hood) plus air leakage, which averages about 5 to 15% of the face volume. If the laboratory chemical hood and the general ventilating system are properly designed, face velocities in the range of the design criteria will provide a laminar flow of air over the work surface and sides of the hood. Higher face velocities (150 fpm or more), which exhaust the general laboratory air at a greater rate, waste energy and are likely to degrade hood performance by creating air turbulence at the face and within the chemical hood, causing vapors to spill out into the laboratory (Figure 9.3).
An additional method for containment testing is the EN 14175, which is the standard adopted by the European Union and replaces several other procedures that were in place for individual countries. Parts 3 (Type tests) and 4 (On-site tests) of this standard address methods for "as manufactured" and "as installed/used" systems, respectively.
9.C.2.8.2 Routine Testing
At least annually, the following test procedures should be conducted for all chemical hoods:

IAG's submission to Treasury Consultation Paper regarding the Federal Government's proposal that would require insurers to offer flood cover in all home building and home contents policies.
Download PDF [797K]
GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSAL (CONTINUED) NSW VIC QLD WA SA TAS NT ACT Direct Opt out+ No opt No opt No opt No opt Opt out+ No opt Opt out+ insurance out out out out out Intermediated No opt No opt No opt No opt No opt No opt No opt No opt out out out out out out out out Buzz Opt in Opt in Opt in Opt in Opt in Opt in Opt in Opt in Insurance* + Customers can choose to remove flood cover if we have identified their home is prone to flooding. * The customer can only take out Home Insurance on-line. The customer has a choice of Base Cover, Central Cover or Buzz Plus cover. The Base Cover does not include a flood option. The Central Cover includes a 30% of sum insured flood option. The Buzz Plus Cover includes 100% flood option. The decision by IAG's operating businesses to offer flood insurance as a standard inclusion in their home and contents policies is twofold. It addresses the community's feedback that it wants greater clarity around insurance for different types of water damage. It is also based on our experience in NSW. In that State NRMA Insurance provides flood cover automatically to 98% of its customers. The remaining 2% of customers in high risk areas have the ability to "op- out" of flood cover. Flood cover as a standard inclusion will provide all our customers with absolute certainty and confidence that they are covered for both stormwater and flood damage. The best way to make sure our customers have protection and to maximise the number of people covered is to automatically include flood cover in the premium. IAG notes the views of consumers outlined in the Paper commissioned by Treasury – A Consumer Perspective on the NDIR Paper (September 2011): "… consumer representatives believe that automatic flood cover (with no opt out) will deliver the best outcomes for consumers" ( p.5) IAG believes customers should have the opportunity to choose the type of insurance cover that suits their individual needs. INDUSTRY CAPACITY TO UNDERWRITE FLOOD IAG believes insurers should have flexibility. Forcing insurers to offer flood cover or "opt-out" flood cover would be potentially damaging if flood products were beyond a particular insurers' risk appetite. This may actually work to reduce competition in the insurance market. IAG notes the Consultation Paper statement that "requiring all insurers to offer flood cover may result in some companies defensively pricing flood cover or simply 'redlining' flood prone areas. This could have a negative impact on competition in the insurance market, at least in areas exposed to flood risk" (p.10) 5 IAG SUBMISSION TO CONSULTATION PAPER - REFORMING FLOOD INSURANCE: A PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE AVAILABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY

It kinda looks like a miniature cutlass he went through most of my Illumination books to establish the shape and then one day reappeared from his forge with the blade! I think Proportionally it is a little on the small side from the examples in the Illuminations but it still is really cool. I also have a strait bladed knife with a slight drop tip he made for me. works nice for breaking down small critters.

After hours of searching, Elkhart City Police arrested the suspect in a Cass County homicide Friday night.
Around 1:30 p.m., police were called to the 19,000 block of U.S. 12 in Mason Township.
When they arrived, they found Martha Sexton stabbed to death.
"She was in the process of moving, talking to her new landlord and he heard something about a knife and then a phone went dead and he contacted law enforcement," said Cass County Sheriff Joseph Underwood.
Police say Sexton and her brother, 59-year-old Edward Hensley, got into an argument at the home where they both lived with family.
Their niece had been on her way to break the fight up.
"I was coming to prevent something of this nature here," said their niece Cynthia Hunt.
When police arrived, Hensely had already fled the scene.
They called in extra patrols to help search the nearby woods.
"Michigan State Police is close, they were able to contact their division with a helicopter," Underwood said. "They also brought in their emergency services team."
After several hours, police found Hensley in Elkhart County.
He's being charged with open murder in Cass County.
Hensley has no criminal history locally, but family members say he was known for being hot-headed.
Now they're trying to cope with the difficult loss of Sexton and the arrest of Hensley.
"My family's very devastated," Hunt said. "She didn't deserve anything like this."
Police say it appears Hensley was drinking before the afternoon stabbing.

This is the inside of the timing cover which is cut from billet in the Roush Yates shops. It utilizes a tensioner (the white "finger") which takes the whipping motion out of the timing chain that can happen when the driver stands on the throttle. This should help stabilize the valvetrain even further.

The sweet spot to reach 1,000 yards or more would seem to be 275 carries or more, nearly double of what is required of the Saints running backs. That leaves no question that in Payton's offense we will likely never see a running back get 275 carries or more, which of course means neither Thomas or Ingram will join the elite club of 1,000 yard rushers.
