CUMBERLAND — Chris Magill has had a history of top-three finishes at the Arnold Mills Road Race, an event he's won a record five times.
The 38-year-old former St. Raphael Academy standout had every intention to make an attempt at a sixth crown in the 43rd edition of the Cumberland race Monday morning.
Those thoughts, however, were quickly erased after the first mile.
CUMBERLAND — He only weighs 39 pounds and stands about 47 inches tall.
When he was lined up at the start of the Arnold Mills Road Race on Monday, it was easy to overlook the fact that Jack Casey was among the field of more than 500 runners.
Once the race opened up near the mile mark on Abbott Run Valley Road, the eight-year-old Cumberland tyke certainly became noticeable, making more than a few heads turn in the four-mile event.
Casey, an elementary student at Community School, finished the race with an eye-popping time of 29 minutes, 29 seconds – a 7:22 per-mile pace!
With various opinions coming from scouts and management alike, plenty of discussion and debate occurs when narrowing down potential choices leading up to draft day.
Sherard Clinkscales recalls such an instance in 2000. As the Assistant Director of Scouting for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Clinkscales had an important voice regarding what the organization should do with the sixth overall pick. In the end Tampa wound up selecting Rocco Baldelli, but as Clinkscales recalled late last week, it took a while before everyone was in agreement regarding the Woonsocket native/Cumberland native .

Heaving Snatch Balance: I'm Sorry for Doubting You
Greg Everett |
Olympic Weightlifting
| October 27 2011
Send to Kindle
Until maybe a year ago, I typically wrote off the heaving snatch balance as more of a piece in a teaching progression than a useful exercise. But in the last year, I've started using it more and more with some of my lifters and have decided it's actually one of my favorite exercises.
First, for those of you not familiar with the exercise, it's pretty simple: Start with the feet in your squat position and the bar on your back with a snatch grip. Dip at the knees smoothly and heave the bar up slightly so you can punch down under it into an overhead squat position. The feet remain flat on the floor. This ends up being somewhat of a hybrid between a snatch balance and a snatch push press + overhead squat.
There are a couple reasons why I've become so fond of the exercise. First, maintaining a connection to the platform with the feet means that it's a good exercise to force lifters to feel the proper placement of the feet for receiving their snatches and it serves as a good hip and shoulder flexibility exercise because there's no moment of slack for body parts to move in ways they shouldn't. This connection is also good for lifters who have a bad habit of picking up the feet too much during the transition from the pull to the turnover of the snatch--this gives them the opportunity to feel what it's like to be reconnected and be able to actually push up against the bar and resist it rather than having it fall on them.
In addition to this, the lifter can benefit from the active stretching and overhead strength and positioning elements of overhead squats without the strain on the wrists that accompanies overhead squats for reps and is usually the limiting factor. And the lifter gets the benefit of explosive punching under the bar you would get from the snatch balance without the potential for squirrelly foot placement accompanying the foot transition of the snatch balance.
I like doing sets of 2-5 reps and not necessarily aiming for huge weights, but being more interested in smooth movement, quick elbows and perfect balance and posture. This can be done as an auxiliary exercise for the snatch near or at the end of a workout, or with lighter weights at or near the beginning to loosen up and reinforce proper balance and positioning for forthcoming snatches or snatch-related training.

Yeah Buddy! Being a taller lifter HSB's help this boy out tons!

Never really understood the difference between heaving and snatch balance. I have a tendency to mule kick and land a bit wide in the bottom, so this sounds like a great movement for me to add in. Should allow one to handle more weight than a snatch balance? Thanks Greg

Interesting exercise. I remember a lifter I used to train with who decided to play around with this lift in the gym. His best snatch at the time was around 135 kilos, and he did a 160 heaving snatch balance the first time he did them. His bottom position was definitely the strongest part of his technique, so he was able to handle a lot of weight because the lift was basically a wide grip BTN squat jerk. I've never used them. I used to do snatch balances (we called them drop snatches) in the early days but I liked doing them from a dead stop, with no dip-drive from the legs at the beginning. I couldn't use much weight, but it was good practice for snapping those elbows to lockout.

TP - You'll probably be able to handle more weight in a snatch balance than in a heaving snatch balance because you can get more speed under the former, but it will also depend on how good your footwork and timing is.

Greg - Wondering about the last comment. "You'll probably be able to handle more weight in a snatch balance than in a heaving snatch balance" I always saw it like Matt "the lift was basically a wide grip BTN squat jerk" I have usually found that the "heaving snatch balance" allows much more weight due to the dip and drive (like a jerk), so I almost always found that I could HSB anything I could CJ. Again, like Matt said, " I used to do snatch balances (we called them drop snatches) in the early days but I liked doing them from a dead stop, with no dip-drive from the legs at the beginning. I couldn't use much weight"

Greg, The biggest limiting factor from me increasing my snatch weight is that I can't seem to support the weight when I'm at the bottom of the squat. My left elbow and/or shoulder just seem to give way under heavy loads; therefore limiting me from going up in weight. I've completed several cycles of strength training and I've seen an increase in my snatch dl and my pulls, but continue to hit the ceiling when it comes time for the snatch. Part of my problem is poor shoulder mobility/structure so I continue to work on increasing my ROM. But I was wondering if you think the heaving snatch balance is a good exercise to increase my strength/stability at the bottom of the OH position. Are there any other exercises you recommend to develop this deficiency? On another note, I bought your Olympic Weightlifting book a year ago and every time I open it I find new information that I didn't seem to catch before. Just wanted to say thank you for providing such a depth of knowledge! Keep up the good work. You're on another level with everything that you're doing with Catalyst Athletics!

Haven - Snatch push press, heaving snatch balance, press in snatch and overhead squats, including clean/jerk-grip overhead squats, will all help with the strength and mobility of both your shoulders and upper back. Also make sure your ankle and hip mobility isn't part of the problem.
Greg Everett

Jordan- A snatch balance does have a dip and drive just like a heaving snatch balance - only difference is that the feet stay connected to the floor in a heaving SB and they move in an SB. I would call what you're describing a drop snatch. I consider those 3 completely distinct exercises. See here.

The tail wheel equipped airplane ground looped during the landing roll. According to the pilot, the landing was a three point on runway 17, with no apparent adverse wind conditions or turbulence. The airplane rolled straight ahead for approximately 200 feet and then commenced an immediate uncommanded left turn, which the pilot said was not correctable with brake or rudder. The airplane ultimately ground looped to the left resulting in considerable damage to the airplane. The reported winds at the airport, about the time of the accident, were from 310 degrees at 5 knots.

What makes a "strong female character"?
A few weeks back, thumbing through the New York Times magazine, I happened upon an essay titled, "A Plague of Strong Female Characters." Oh good, I thought. A plague! Then I scratched my head and paused. Wait a minute. A plague?
Plague, defined, can mean a lot of things as a noun, from contagious bacterial disease, to a curse, to divine punishment, to something that causes trouble or irritation. Strong female characters, in any kind of form, be it film or fiction or video games or top 40 radio, was not something I necessarily turned my nose up at. What was this plague she spoke of?
Carina Chocano's essay is, at least, aware of the fighting words invoked when you begin a piece by stating, "Every time I hear someone use the term 'strong female character,' I want to punch them. The problem is, I hit like a girl." Cringe! She meanders a bit through some anecdotes before getting to what she's basically trying to say: "Strong female character" has become shorthand for badass, busy, cold, single and possibly gun-toting women, and she implies that this is problematic.
Detective Deb Morgan on "Dexter"
She also does a wee bit of backpedaling to admit:
Maybe what people mean when they say "strong female characters" is female characters who are "strong," i.e., interesting or complex or well-written — "strong" in the sense that they figure predominantly in the story, rather than recede decoratively into the background.
Separate or combined, I'm still not sure what the problem with either of these type of characters are. If they're physically strong and adept fighters, i.e. Angelina Jolie circa Tomb Raider, then we've got the positive of a female lead character in an Indiana Jones-type male dominated genre. If they're driven and independent characters, terrific! See, for example, our recent celebration of strong women in crime drama television, a la Sara Linden of The Killing.
Chocano goes on to draw up her definitions of strong female characters against the idea of a strong male character. A tangible idea, I think. And then:
The insistence on "strong female character" is not bad because it aspires to engender respect, it's bad because it tries to compensate for an existing imbalance by stacking the deck in favor of the female character, by making her better, more deserving, higher-toned, more virtuous and deserving of respect, somehow… "Strong female characters," in other words, are often just female characters with the gendered behavior taken out. This makes me think that the problem is not that there aren't enough "strong" female characters in the movies — it's that there aren't enough realistically weak ones.
Chief Nursing Officer Christina Hawthorne on "HawhoRNe"
If I were an academic, I might say that there is a lot to unpack in Chocano's argument. But since I'm a blogger of lesbian and female-centric pop culture, I'm just gonna say this: There's a lot going on here. Chocano is basically saying that since female characters have gained more so-called "masculine" traits (workaholic, unattached, tough, not outwardly emotional), they become less realistically female. And that is where Chocano loses me completely, because I'd like to believe you have both. There are female characters (and female people) who carry those so-called "masculine" behavior traits, and female characters who do not. There are girls who light up to see ass-kicking femmes in battle on the big screen, and there are girls who love to watch awesome independent women shirk traditional relationships and drip sarcasm. I've yet to find wrong in either.
Call me a super progressive liberal hippie (I can take it!), but I like to look for strong characters, period. And if they're strong characters who battle a stereotype which pervades gender and cultural norms, all the better.
What do you think about strong female characters? The more the merrier, or a plague upon your houses?

State Representative Richard Roy (D-Milford) hosted a news conference and legislative forum supporting labels on products in Connecticut that contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The clear labels would allow residents the ability to choose whether or not to purchase GMO items.
"I feel the federal government has turned its back on consumers and is more interested in helping the agriculture industry hide what is actually going into our food." said Rep. Roy, House Chair of the Environment Committee. "In some cases, pesticides are inserted into seeds, genetically modifying the food we eat. You can't wash out these pesticides, they're there forever."
The Environment Committee recently raised HB 5117, An Act Requiring the Labeling of Genetically-Engineered Foods. The Commissioner of Environmental Protection and Commissioner of Consumer Protection would be responsible for label content and form.
GMOs are products that have been genetically modified at the cellular level to increase yields and resist disease. DNA molecules from different sources are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism, giving it modified genes.
Long term effects of GMOs on consumers have not been determined. GMOs are banned in five countries in the European Union, most recently Germany.
"Consumers have a right to know what is in their food," said State Representative Phil Miller, Vice-chair of the Environment Committee. "When a parent buys fruit, they assume that they are bringing a natural snack home for their children, but that isn't always the case these days. When we buy packaged foods, we can read the label and make an informed decision if we want to buy that product-so why shouldn't parents know if fruit contains genetically modified ingredients?"

From the Editor's desk :
Dear Do..Re..Me..Fa.. browsers,
Again, it is my privilege to present this year's first melodious musical chord to the valued browsers of 'daijiworld.com'. After having a wonderful and quite memorable Christmas holidays back home in India, I am back here again with New Year's first chord. First of all, let me take this opportunity to wish you and your family a happy, prosperous, healthy and blessed New Year-2004. May heavenly blessings be upon you throughout the year 2004 and I am fully confident that you will support me this year too as you did it in the previous year by your great encouragement. In return I will try my level best to live up to your expectations by presenting exciting and melodious chords.
In this great month of January, this esteemed web portal 'daijidubai.com' now known as 'daijiworld.com' has successfully completed three glorious years. I take this occasion, to congratulate and thank its mentor Shri Walter D'Souza, Nandalike for his great sacrifice, dedication and determination in bringing this wonderful portal to its current level. I also appreciate and thank the talented and efficient support team for their unassumed service with exemplary dedication.
During this Christmas vacation I was busy hunting and accumulating such music chords, that have contributed a lot to Konkanni music but their contribution did not receive desired recognition. I was fortunate enough to get some of them in my stride and I am going to present them in an interesting fashion in the coming episodes. The first star, whom I am going to present today, is the most hard-to-get personality which I had ever come across. For the last one year I am trying a lot to get his profile on board but in vain. This time around I never missed the opportunity and was able to meet this personality in 'Sandhesha', Mangalore during a recording programme of Maand Sobhaan. This great star is none other than Music Maestro Shri Joel Pereira, son of all time great legend of Konkanni Traditional Music Gumtam Shri Joachim Pereira.
Joel better known as Joy, one of my close friends, is really a gem and down to earth personality, always hiding from media and publicity. Music flows through everyone of his veins. He is proficient in playing Organ, Piano, Violin, Accordian, Sitar, Tabla, Gumtam etc. He was the director for "Maando Fest-2003" a record breaking musical extravaganza first time in the history of Konkanni Music.
Joy is celebrating his 40th birthday on 30th of this month. As he is getting naughty at forty, on your behalf I wish him A Very Happy Birthday and all the best in his future life. He is very determined to make others happy through his music talent; we pray that the Almighty God grant him happiness in many fold. May all his dreams come true!
Once again, dear music lover, I thank you for your interest and great support. I shall see you next month with another melodious music chord. Until then bye!
Gerry D'Mello
Joel Alexander Pereira, a music instrumentalist par excellence, most popular in the Konkanni music world, is a God's boon and Konkan's pride. Any Konkanni musical Nite or extravaganza, any Konkanni audio or video Album recording is incomplete without the instrumental accompaniment of Joel Pereira! "Music is Divine", says Joel, and he is intent on experiencing that divine. He is not after fast filmy music to make a fast buck, but he is devotedly learning all the nuances of music, experimenting and experiencing the eternal sound and pass on that experience to the next generation.

A Scottsville woman is bringing the community together in an effort to feed families in need. In this week's Stephanie's Heroes, CBS19's Stephanie Satchell is featuring Bonnie Cooper who coordinates the bi-monthly mobile food pantry in Scottsville.
Twice a month, it's busy under the pavilion in downtown Scottsville. The truck backs up and dozens of volunteers come out to unload boxes, pack and distribute free groceries to folks who pull up to the mobile food pantry.
"In our community, because we're a rural community, it's very different than if you live in town. If you live in town, there are probably 20 churches that distribute food for various causes. Here, we're the only game in town. Where do people go? This is where they come," said Bonnie Cooper, Coordinator, Mobile Food Pantry.
Coordinator Bonnie Cooper says folks check in and line up the nearby parking lot early waiting for a chance to drive through the line to pick up enough food to feed their families.
"I had a man who came to me not too long ago and he said 'I used to provide money to this organization. I never thought I'd be here for food.' So, you never know. You never know who's going to be in that line. It could be us next week," said Cooper.
In addition to drive up customers, they even deliver food to people who can't come out. Jaunt also takes food to people. The pantry even helps its own volunteer workers who are in need.
After they finish their shift, Cooper makes sure that volunteers who need food have access to groceries.
"It helps a lot. It really does," said Phillis Randolph, a volunteer and recipient of the program.
With the help of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Cooper started this project more than two years ago.
The folks who work closely with her say, she always gives 110 percent to the program.
"[She gives] a lot of energy and commitment and certainly devotion and a great deal of time and energy," said Bruce Lugn, Coordinator.
Although, Cooper is the driving force behind this program, she says she couldn't have done it without her volunteers.
"The volunteers that turn out are our real hometown heroes. They turn out in boiling hot days. They turn out in freezing days. They turn out in rain. They always show up and they're always willing to help."
Although, Cooper plans to turn the program over to someone else when she retires, her hope is that it will only grow and be able to send even more groceries home with the people in need.
The mobile food pantry takes place the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at about 10:00 am. It's held at the pavilion area next to the Tavern on the James in Scottsville.
The pantry feeds about 285 families from Scottsville, Esmont and Schuyler each week.

Claiming Equal Citizenship Campaign
Women's right to equal citizenship is guaranteed by the majority of Arab constitutions, as well as by international law. Yet across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and the Gulf, women are denied their right to nationality – a crucial component of citizenship. Such laws send the message that women do not enjoy a direct relationship with the state, but must access their citizenship rights through mediation of a male family member, such as a father or a husband. Until women in the MENA and Gulf regions are recognized as full nationals and citizens, they cannot participate fully in public life, nor claim the other rights to which they are entitled as equal members of their societies. Please lend your support to the campaign. Send a message of solidarity to WLP campaign partners who are coordinating the national and regional campaigns to raise awareness of the issue, advocate for change, and mobilize support to modify discriminatory legislation.

For most of us the term leadership evokes energy, determination, and power used to achieve some worthy goal. One is a leader if one convinces others to do one's bidding. In this interpretation of the term individuals in authority are in a better position to lead. However, this is not always the case. We know from experience that many individuals who are in positions of authority—fathers, bosses, landowners, and professionals, for example—are not leaders. On the other hand, many of us have come across individuals who are not in any observable position of authority though we feel they are leaders because they influence their environment. Is leadership then a personal quality? Is it a trait that some people possess while others do not?

Finally Famous - Big Sean
- Record Label: Def Jam
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 20
Mixed: 6 out of 20
Negative: 1 out of 20
Aug 10, 2011His debut is a charming start, chronicling his journey from pauper to hip-hop prince. [1 Jul 2011, p.74]
Jun 28, 2011Finally Famous, which contains a handful of other tracks produced by No I.D. as well as collaborations with the likes of the Neptunes and Wiz Khalifa, is a slick triumph filled with muscular drums and rolling synthesizers.
Jul 21, 2011Finally Famous boasts enough bouncy beats and catchy hooks that he should have no problem landing a follow up on the charts. Still, the album falls short of establishing him as an artist of a magnitude to match his name.
Jun 28, 2011Finally Famous is a choice summertime rap record, complete with bright, breezy synth beats and cameos from Chris Brown and Mr. West himself. Prom King or not, Sean's clearly the life of the party.
Jul 26, 2011It is his fourth record to be titled Finally Famous, which is preposterous for a lot of reasons, the largest of which being that he is still not famous.
Jul 6, 2011Sweet Christ, in no universe will Big Sean be greater than Notorious B.I.G. or Big Pun, and at the rate he's going he'll be lucky to end up a better rapper than Sean Combs, let alone Sean Carter.

Jun 28, 2011This is album is a great debut album for this young emcee, it has lyricism (Much More), wordplay (I Do It), mainstream songs (My Last), Party Songs (Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay) and surreal songs (Memories). This album is definitely for the summer and he was nowhere to go but up… Expand
Jul 10, 2011This album is definitely a mainstream success fit for summer. The overall mood is very happy and thankfull. I think the greatest thing about Big Sean is how humble he is, he truly loves his fans as much as they love him and on this album he basks in the moment. Not a perfect debut, very feature heavy, on many songs the mixing/mastering is off, and lyrically this is just average for Sean compared to his mixtapes, but you can't deny the fun and happiness this album creates. And hey that's what life is about right?… Expand

Jul 23, 2014Finally Famous is a thoroughly enjoyable album to listen to, despite many imperfections. The production was upbeat and high quality throughout, however the features are hit-or-miss. Also, the lyrics hold Big Sean back from being a more exciting young rapper. He's more talented than the radio-friendly hooks and self-absorbed lyrics would suggest.. After listening to this album, I'd view Big Sean's ceiling as an upper-echelon pop rapper along the lines of Wiz Khalifa or Drake. ~ 6.5/10 ~ with deluxe tracks: 6.3/10
Best track: "Wait For Me" ft. Lupe Fiasco: The production, the flow, the emotion, and a Lupe Fiasco verse adds up to the only elite song on this album.… Expand
Sep 2, 2011For a first album this is Ok at best. This album is way to commercial, it sounds like he tried to be creative like Kanye but failed to meet Kanye's great productivity and lyrics. The album has its good songs but also has a few terrible ones. His lyrics are ok, what really makes this album an ok album is his fun word play. In songs like "dance a$$" "I do it" he shows that greatly. Overall the album was just Ok but a good start to an artist who will be in the rap scene for a minute.… Expand
Feb 6, 2014Genre: Rap
I'm not exactly a fan of this music genre but I can appreciate certain artists. Finally Famous however is just a terrible album and features possibly the worst song I've ever had the misfortune to listen to in Dance A$$ (not only is it painful to listen to but the lyrics are simply embarrassing).
If this is what rap scene is offering nowadays then I'll pass thank you.… Expand

I've been to some nice beaches in my lifetime, but the one we were at was hands down the finest.
Superfine white sand, no shells, almost no seaweed, no jellyfish, and most surprising of all--ZERO seagulls!
And the resort had a lot of beds pretty much everywhere for relaxing in comfort.

We have denormalised tables in our reporting database which provides data for creating ad-hoc reports in Report Builder 3.0.
What is the best way to model the data access in Report Builder?
The main criteria for accessing data for us determines by the centre user belongs to.
For example we have a table called Students, which is linked to other tables (e.g.: Enrollments). The Students table contains all student records from 8 different schools.
Each school has got a number of admin staff that should be able to see their own student details. They should are not allowed to see other schools students and the associated records (Enrollments, Courses, Letters, etc).
I'm wondering if I should include the 'School Name' in all tables, which can be used as a filter to only return the records related to that school for a given user? I feel hesitant to repeat this column in every single table. Is there any better way of handling data access level for this scenario?

text: On March 28, 2002, at 1731 Pacific standard time, a Bell OH-58A, N487BC, landed hard during an autorotation to a dirt field in Chico, California. During the landing, the main rotor flexed downward and severed the tail boom, resulting in substantial damage to the helicopter. The helicopter was owned and operated by the Butte County Sheriff's Department as a public-use aircraft under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The commercial pilot and a sheriff's deputy observer were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a company flight plan had been filed. The local area search and rescue mission originated at 1620 from the Butte County Sheriff's Department Search and Rescue base at Chico and was returning to the helipad when the accident occurred.The pilot was interviewed by telephone on March 28, 2002, and reported that he was cruising at 1,000 feet above ground level (agl), at 90-100 knots, when he detected a left yaw. This was followed by a low main rotor speed warning. He noted that the rotor needle (rotor rpm) was below the bottom of the green arc, and lowered the collective. As a result, the main rotor warning light went out. He glanced at the N1 gage (gas producer tachometer) and noted it at 70 percent and decreasing; the N2 needle (power turbine rpm) showed a split. The pilot then rolled the throttle off and began the restart process by depressing the start switch on the collective, holding the start switch approximately 15 seconds during the autorotation. No other warning lights were visible on the caution panel. Engine power was not regained. The pilot performed an autorotative landing to a large dirt field in back of an unoccupied elementary school, and the touchdown was slightly harder than normal. The main rotor then contacted and severed the tail boom. The pilot noted that the engine was running at idle after the landing and he performed a manual shutdown. He had flown this helicopter for the last 2 days with no discrepancies noted.The pilot was recontacted regarding the accident on April 2, 2002. He reported that the helicopter was topped off with fuel the night prior to the accident and the quantity was verified at 400 or more pounds. The total duration of the flight on the Hobbs meter was 1.1 hours. After the accident, the fuel gage read about 350 pounds. While en route back to the base, the torque gauge was showing 70 to 80 percent during cruise. During the autorotation, he felt there may have been a surging of the engine but was unsure because he wore a helmet.On April 4, 2002, the pilot filed National Transportation Safety Board Form 6120.1/2, Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report, which was received by the investigator-in-charge (IIC) on April 10, 2002. In the attached narrative, the pilot reported encountering the nose left yaw as discussed via telephone on March 28. He stated, in part, "...rolled the throttle to flight idle and began the restart process by depressing the start switch on the collective lever."On April 5, 2002, the IIC received an e-mail from the pilot with additional information regarding the accident. After verifying various times concerning the accident, the pilot stated that he did not relay that after the low rotor rpm light illuminated, he looked at the N2 gage (dual tachometer) and saw the rotor needle below the green arc indicator. He then lowered the collective without rolling off the throttle. In an additional phone conversation on September 10, 2003, the pilot was questioned regarding his emergency procedures training. He reported that his most recent emergency training, including autorotations, took place over 1 year prior to the accident. He further reported that pilots were not allowed to practice autorotations without the Chief Pilot on board the helicopter. The engine was examined at the Rolls-Royce Corporation facilities in Oakland, California on April 5, 2002, under the auspices of two Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors. Rolls-Royce issued a report on the results of the examination on April 7, 2002. The examination of the engine and engine components did not reveal any evidence of preimpact failures. Excerpts from the report (Rolls-Royce Engine Investigation Report, Engine CAE 406013) are included in the public docket for this accident.The IIC contacted the Butte County Sherrif's Aviation department regarding emergency procedures and training for department pilots. The department required all pilots to complete oral and flight emergency training annually. The tests were reviewed by check pilots with predetermined areas of review. There were no written requirements for the training. The accident pilot completed his last emergency training on March 23, 2001. In the Air Operations Handbook for the Butte County Sherrif's Department, it states that emergency procedures, including autorotations, may not be performed without the Chief Pilot on board the aircraft with the dual controls installed and operational, unless prior written approval from the Chief Pilot has been obtained.In the emergency procedures section of the OH-58A handbook (TM 55-1520-228-10), the indications for an engine malfunction are as follows: left yaw; drop in engine rpm; drop in rotor rpm; low rpm audio alarm; ilumination of the rotor rpm warning light; engine out warning light; and change in engine noise.

Plattsmouth Police are investigating the burglary at Lotz-4-Less, 902 Chicago Ave. It was determined that prior to entering the business, the suspect(s) removed the power meter from the building causing all power to be shut off. It was approximately 4:30am that entry was gained by breaking the glass on the south door. A large amount of money and approximately 60 cartons of cigarettes were stolen, said police.

We know that a lot of Electronic House readers are doing their part. However, it's looking like TV ownership is actually declining.
New numbers from the Nielsen Company say that the digital transition, the economy, and the availability of multiple viewing platforms are all contributing factors. The findings are part of Nielsen's "2012 Advance/Preliminary TV Household Universe Estimate (UE)."
Based on 2010 Census counts, the UE's findings says that TV penetration will go from 98.9 percent in 2011 to 96.7 in 2012. If we're talking actual numbers, Nielsen says there will be 115.9 million TVs in 2011 and 114.7 million in 2012.
Nielsen says that this is the first time we've seen this kind of drop in two decades.
According to the report, many families could not afford to upgrade for the 2009 digital transition—causing a dip in TV penetration. The economy didn't exactly help matters.
On the other hand, just because someone doesn't have a TV, it doesn't mean they aren't watching TV. The report says that younger consumers are viewing online and on mobile devices, making the actual TV less of a necessity.
"The media marketplace continues to evolve and become more complex. Some consumers are clearly being driven by the economy to make choices on the media devices they purchase. Others are expanding their equipment to add more audio/video devices to their home. Still others may be deferring a TV purchase or replacing their TV with a computer," said Pat McDonough, senior VP of Nielsen's Insights and Analysis. "Nielsen's cross-platform media strategy will allow us to measure all of this content and report the total picture of video consumption to our clients regardless of delivery method. As the census data shows that we are a more diverse country, our measurements evolve to reflect our diversity and also to encompass all the ways that Americans consume media."
Nielsen plans to adjust local UEs with the changes to be released in late August 2011 for the 2011-12 TV season and in the future.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Miranda: O, wonder!Character whose inexperience with the world presented by the show allows them to act as the Audience Surrogate. Often it is through their eyes that we are introduced to the show's principal characters and milieu (see Welcome Episode). Sometimes incorporates qualities of The Watson and Fish out of Water. May lack Genre Blindness. They may be Trapped in Another World, new additions to a Wizarding School, the fresh recruit, or just The Intern, but the device is the same. In dangerous situations, this character may condemn himself as a coward for feeling fear, until a sager head tells him that only the Fearless Fool avoids that. A popular character type in Speculative Fiction, because it allows the reader or viewer to explore the world as the character does, meaning the character is still an Audience Surrogate, but is a little more instrumental to the story because of the greater amount of details being presented. Done poorly these characters may just become flimsy justifications for an Info Dump, making them a sort of inverse Mr. Exposition. Can overlap with Country Mouse, Kid-Appeal Character (who is also there to draw in younger audiences), Welcome to the Big City (their usual introduction to city life), Ordinary High-School Student (impressionable person applied to an odd situation). Accidental errors may lead to a Bewildering Punishment. A Super Trope to Rookie Red Ranger (the newcomer is also The Hero and/or The Leader), Ensign Newbie (the newcomer is an officer presiding over a more experienced enlisted crew), and The Watson (the newcomer's purpose is to get information for the audience by proxy). Compare Unfazed Everyman. Contrast Team Prima Donna.
