The up and down season for the Elphinstone senior boys continued Tuesday night with a close 76-72 loss to the Howe Sound Sounders in Gibsons.
The game went back and forth with several lead changes with the final five minutes of the game a flurry of action with teams trading threes, stepping up defensively and trying to draw fouls to preserve time on the clock.
The Cougars cut Howe Sound's lead to 69-68 with 1:20 to play, but that was the closest they got.
Nate Haglund led the way for Elphi with 20 points, Nolan Lewarne had 15 while Kevin Ravina and TJ Turenne each scored 14.
With the loss, Elphi dropped to 3-4 in league play while Howe Sound improved to 5-1.
"It's a tough loss, but Howe Sound is one of the top teams in the league. They have some good shooters and they were hitting them most of the night," said Elphi head coach Mike Sopow. "We had a tough time rebounding and that killed us. Anytime they did miss they were getting a lot of second chance opportunities off those and putting them in. We were right in this game. If we get out on their shooters and rebound better - we do those two things and we probably win.
"The guys fought hard though and made a little run at the end. Nolan Lewarne was strong all night, Axel Loitz really stepped up and played some great defence, and Nate and TJ always do their thing. So the guys shouldn't hang their heads - it was a good game."
Last weekend, Elphi finished third at the Collingwood tournament with strong play throughout with a limited bench.
Elphi beat New Westminster, a tough AAA school, 83-79. They then played Kelowna Christian, ranked in the top five in the province, and Elphi was outmatched for most of the game.
Elphi played Archbishop Carney in the third/fourth place game and won by 10.
"Again, short numbers with six guys, but we did what we had to. We got one of their big guys in foul trouble and we had some guys who normally get limited minutes forced to step up to play major minutes and they played really well," Sopow said. "Guys like Dylan Nemeth and Henry Telfer really played well. We stepped up the intensity and that's the way we have to play to be successful."
Elphi played an exhibition game Thurs-day night against McRoberts and plays St. Thomas Aquinas in its last league game Feb. 12 before the playoffs start Feb. 14.
Following the senior boys game, the senior girls took to the floor in a Coast-rivalry game between Elphinstone and Chatelech.
Elphi played probably their best game of the year in an 87-42 win.
Head coach Lynn Moran said she had a full team effort and utilized her whole bench, something she hasn't had the chance to do many times this season.
Ali Blattler and Ellen Fallis both had strong games, as did Renat McLean who had a season-high 20 points.
"Ali and Ellen are always our go-to players, but Ali has really been really playing well, especially the last four games," said Moran.
Elphi improved to 2-6 in league play and were off to Seycove Wednesday night for their last game of the season.
Elphi won't make the playoffs this year, but Moran said she was still pretty happy with the season.
"We have a young and inexperienced team, but they all improved throughout the season and that's all you can ask for," she said. "We lost a lot of close games and that's the difference. We did play in two tournaments in Vancouver and finished third in both, so there is a lot of potential for next season."
With the loss, Chat dropped to 0-7 on the year and were off to Rockridge for their last game Thursday and were set to play Pemberton in an exhibition game Friday.
"Our shots just were not dropping and no finish," said Chat coach Ellen Thomas "That's really been our season in a nutshell. We have a young team, so you just have to hope for the improvement and hope for better things next year."

Is Internet driving Letterman away?By David BianculliUpdated 1456 GMT (2156 HKT) April 4, 2014Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosMemorable 'Late Show' moments – Even when CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" veers into awkward, uncomfortable territory for the guest -- as it often does -- Letterman never loses his cool. In fact, the opposite happens: The show only gets better. Now, after more than 30 years in the business, Letterman has mastered the art of pressing just the right buttons to ensure great TV. Hide Caption 1 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosMemorable 'Late Show' moments – Any moment with legend Johnny Carson and legend-in-the-making Letterman was destined to be a classic, but Carson's appearance on the "Late Show" in May 1994 is the most memorable. The former "Tonight Show" host opted to make his last TV showing with Letterman, who appropriately handed over his desk chair to his idol. Hide Caption 2 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosTribute to Johnny Carson – After Johnny Carson died in January 2005, David Letterman paid tribute to him in the best way he knew: by turning over his entire monologue to the celebrated comedian and TV personality, composing it of jokes Carson had written. Hide Caption 3 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosMadonna's F-bombs – In March 1994, Madonna severely tested Letterman's mettle in an exchange that's become a standout late night moment. Letterman introduced Madge as a top-selling pop star who'd slept with some of the biggest names in the industry, which prompted Madonna to go off a very profane deep end. At last count, somewhere around 13 F-bombs were dropped over the course of the interview. Hide Caption 4 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosDrew Barrymore flashes Dave – When Drew Barrymore showed up on "Letterman" in 1995, she came bearing gifts -- of a sort. The then-20-year-old actress was a ball of "good energy," and when talk turned to her interest in "nude performance dance," Letterman of course had to get a preview -- complete with flashing. It was his birthday, after all.Hide Caption 5 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosCourtney Love channels Drew Barrymore – In March 2004, Courtney Love tried to pull off what Drew Barrymore had adorably done a decade earlier. Unfortunately, Love's would-be teasing reveal turned into a major -- and memorable -- fumble. Hide Caption 6 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosFirst broadcast after 9/11 – Letterman's first show after the September 11 attacks was an understandably subdued and emotional episode. The monologue was skipped in favor of honoring those lost in the attack. Dan Rather was one of the night's guests, and he memorably couldn't hold back tears as he recited "America the Beautiful." Hide Caption 7 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosHonoring Warren Zevon – In the fall of 2002, Letterman showed his graciousness and tender heart when he dedicated an entire episode to the terminally ill Warren Zevon in a celebration of his music. The singer-songwriter passed away the following year.Hide Caption 8 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosMcCartney performs – Musician Paul McCartney took over the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the Beatles made big news in 1964, to performs for the '"Late Show" on July 15, 2009.Hide Caption 9 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosDave and Oprah bury the hatchet – It had been 16 years since Oprah Winfrey last set foot on "Letterman" when she finally returned in December 2005. The episode of course brought in monster ratings, as it appeared that the two were making up. The irony was that neither truly knew -- or at least would admit on TV -- what caused their supposed "feud," or if there was ever a tiff in the first place.Hide Caption 10 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosMichael Richards' mea culpa – When you need to make a massive apology, it makes sense to turn to the well-respected Letterman to help you out. That's what "Seinfeld's" Michael Richards ended up doing in November 2006, with help from Letterman's guest of the night, Jerry Seinfeld. Richards, however, wasn't in the studio -- he made his apology via satellite after coming under fire for using the N-word during a tirade at a comedy club. "Awkward" doesn't begin to describe the appearance. Hide Caption 11 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosDave and Bill O'Reilly call a truce – Before Bill O'Reilly and David Letterman found a reason to high-five one another in 2011, they'd had a war of words while taping "Late Show" in 2006. The conversation was about the Iraq War, and the debate became so agitated that the light-hearted comments turned into terse insults. Hide Caption 12 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosParis Hilton gets grilled – Paris Hilton braved seeing Letterman again in 2008 even after he upset her during her 2007 interview. The late night host grilled her about her jail time to the point that she said she was "sad" she'd even come on the show. The following year, Letterman acknowledged how tough he'd been on the celebutante and made nice. Hide Caption 13 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosJohn McCain in the hot seat – After initially trying to skip out on Letterman's show in 2008, John McCain finally made it into the hot seat that October. The politician was faced with chatting up a man who roasted him for his cancellation in an earlier monologue. Both moments were deliciously squirmy TV. Hide Caption 14 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosJoaquin Phoenix's strange act – Watching Joaquin Phoenix appear on "Letterman" in 2009 was like watching a train wreck -- it was so hard to watch, but you just couldn't look away. Phoenix had drastically altered his appearance and behaved strangely, as Letterman tried to figure out how to navigate the puzzle before him. It was all an act, though, and Phoenix returned to the show in 2010 to apologize. Hide Caption 15 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosDave's shocking confession – In October 2009, Letterman made a stunning admission live on the air when he told his audience that he'd had sexual relationships with female members of his staff, and that someone had been attempting to blackmail him as a result. The following Monday, he used his show to offer a "heartfelt" apology to his wife and to his female staffers.Hide Caption 16 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosRichard Simmons goes up in smoke – Richard Simmons and David Letterman have a wonderfully antagonistic friendship, and out of the many times the fitness king has appeared on the program, it's hard to pick a favorite. This moment from 2009, when Simmons and Letterman bickered over how to use a food steamer just before it burst into flames, is the kind of late night gold that other hosts dream about. Hide Caption 17 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosDave and Jay Leno team up – Letterman isn't above poking some friendly fun at his rival, Jay Leno, and in the disastrous NBC late night wars of 2010, Letterman kicked it up a notch. But, we assume, it was all in good fun -- Letterman still joined Oprah Winfrey and Leno in a "Late Show" promo during the Super Bowl that year, an ad that was said to be Letterman's idea.Hide Caption 18 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosLindsay Lohan gets emotional – Prior to her court-mandated stint in rehab, Lindsay Lohan gave an emotional but also surprisingly endearing and transparent interview. Letterman, of course, didn't take the easy route and asked pointed, frank questions. Although he led her down a road that ended in tears, the host commended Lohan when it was done: "We never thought we'd see you again, honestly, because of the jokes and stuff," he told her. "But you have enough spine, enough sense of yourself, enough poise to come out here and talk to me."Hide Caption 19 of 20Memorable 'Late Show' moments 20 photosCher keeps Dave on his toes – Cher and Letterman have a storied past, as the singer seems to have a unique ability to confound the comedian. Once in 1996 she told him he looked like "s---," and generally gave him a hard time. However, the singer has appeared on his show several times since, including in 2013, when she gave him a big hug after performing a song off her latest album. Hide Caption 20 of 20Story highlightsDavid Letterman, who's retiring in 2015, has been a talk show host for 33 yearsDavid Bianculli says it's more than Fallon's "Tonight Show" turnHe says many people see late-night shows as short bits or viral videos online the next dayBianculli: Internet age has devalued Letterman's forte of monologue, hourlong showWhen David Letterman made the surprise announcement on Thursday's "Late Show with David Letterman" that he planned to retire in 2015, his stated reasons were that he was just about to turn 67, had been doing the job for more than three decades and wanted to spend more time with his son and family. Hard to argue with any of that.An unstated reason is probably that the younger new wave of late-night TV hosts is not only nipping at his heels but pulling ahead of him. Most important of all, however, is that in the age of the Internet, the way viewers take in late-night TV is not what it was when Letterman was honing his style. The battle for viewers is now fought more with four-minute viral videos the next morning than complete shows with monologues and conversations as integral ingredients.Today's late-night TV is about bite-size bits. Letterman liked to serve multicourse meals.David BianculliIndeed, his mastery of the form has kept him behind a talk-show desk for 33 years. Start with four months as the host of daytime's "The David Letterman Show" in 1980. Add the 1982-93 run of "Late Night with David Letterman" on NBC, followed by the "Late Show with David Letterman" run that's 21 years now and counting.By the time Letterman walks out of the Ed Sullivan Theater for the last time, he'll have clocked a third of a century as a late-night TV host and monologist. That's longer than Johnny Carson, who was the former late-night king at 30 years. Longer than Jay Leno, who managed 20 in two different shifts. Longer than anyone at that very rarified, high-pressure job.Like Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Dick Cavett before him, Letterman brought enough to the party to rank him as one of the very best. Even though Leno's "Tonight Show," a direct time-slot rival to Letterman's program on CBS, drew more viewers for most of its run, Letterman produced more memorable programs, more classic bits and -- as when he was the first New York talk-show host to return after, and react to, the terrorist attacks of September 11 -- more instances of truly classic television moments. The speculation tying the timing of Letterman's departure to the introduction of Jimmy Fallon in February as the newest host of "The Tonight Show" probably has some validity. It's no secret that Letterman wanted to be Carson's successor and long saw NBC's "Tonight" as the crown jewel of late-night TV, which it had been throughout the reigns of Allen, Paar and Carson. After being passed over for Leno, Letterman subsequently saw the NBC job go to Conan O'Brien, to Leno again and then to Fallon.Certainly, by the time Fallon started at "Tonight," Letterman was used to being beaten in the ratings by NBC, and that trend has only intensified. Since the latest late-night talent shifts, Fallon's "Tonight Show" has drawn about twice as many viewers as Letterman (5.2 million to Letterman's 2.7, with ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" just behind Letterman at 2.6). In the coveted 18-49 demographic, Letterman comes in third, behind Kimmel as well as Fallon.Just WatchedDavid Letterman: I'm retiring in 2015replayMore Videos ...David Letterman: I'm retiring in 2015 02:33PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedWare jokes: Least bracket's not brokenreplayMore Videos ...Ware jokes: Least bracket's not broken 00:36PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLohan: Upcoming rehab is a 'blessing'replayMore Videos ...Lohan: Upcoming rehab is a 'blessing' 00:39PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLetterman plants kiss on Amy PoehlerreplayMore Videos ...Letterman plants kiss on Amy Poehler 00:46PLAY VIDEOBut the real shift isn't in who's watching but in who's not watching. "The Tonight Show" of the Carson era, so revered by Letterman (and by older viewers and TV critics like myself), was must-see TV before that term was invented. Millions of people didn't think of going to bed before hearing Carson's monologue, to get his take on what happened that day.In 2014, though, that's simply not happening. Every term, I ask my college students at Rowan University how many of them watch any of the late-night shows as they're first televised. This includes even Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report," for which they're the ideal target audience. And every term, fewer hands go up.They are waiting for those pieces of the previous night's talk shows spoon-fed to them, either as morning-show highlights or as viral videos on news sites or shared by Facebook friends.Perhaps, had the Internet come along many decades earlier, Carson's Ed Ames tomahawk throw would have gone viral -- but that's the only part viewers would have seen. The nightly monologues, as comedic currency, have been devalued, and the popularity of a show -- and a host -- can be measured as much today by quick hits of brilliant comedy business rather than a solid hour of entertainment.Fallon, of course, is superb at this game; his musical bits alone are guaranteed to feed a steady course of streaming videos. Kimmel is good at it too, and even the host following Letterman on CBS, Craig Ferguson of "The Late Late Show," has attracted many millions of YouTube hits with snippets of his antics.Letterman, like British counterpart Graham Norton on BBC America's "The Graham Norton Show" import, sees his show as a one-hour complete entity. That fewer members of his audience are seeing it that way may be the biggest reason he's leaving.If no one is watching TV in real time any more, then what does being a "late-night" host even mean?Follow us on Twitter @CNNOpinion.Join us on Facebook/CNNOpinion.Opinion on the newsHow AirAsia flight compares to Air France 447 crashPilot Bill Palmer says the AirAsia flight had similarities to Air France 447, which also encountered bad weatherDon't turn your back on these childrenPoverty isn't the only reason why so many parents are paying to have their child smuggled into the United States, says Carole GeithnerIran's hypocrisy in condemning U.S. racism Michael Rubin says it's a farce that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted tweets criticizing U.S. policeThe smart thing that makes you stupidRon Friedman says your smartphone may be making you behave stupidly; resolve to resist distractions in 2015Is AI a threat to humanity?Artificial intelligence does not need to be malevolent to be catastrophically dangerous to humanity, writes Greg Scoblete.Welcome to the troll ageThe ability to manipulate media and technology has increasingly become a critical strategic resource, says Jeff Yang.More from opinionWhat will happen if the bees disappear?Thanks, Ben Carson, but prison doesn't make people 'come out' gayWhy Iran's rise is a good thingPowered by Livefyre

Homeowner was armed and defended himself. The story, for some reason, didn't state this as a home invasion.
This is a discussion on Difference between armed masked men entering your home shooting and home invasion? within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_...ce=most_viewed Homeowner was armed and defended himself. The story, for some reason, didn't state this as a home invasion....
Homeowner was armed and defended himself. The story, for some reason, didn't state this as a home invasion.
Home invasion is the act of illegally burgling or entering a private and occupied dwelling for the purpose of committing a crime (such as robbery, assault, rape, murder), or any violation of the law against the occupant(s). It is not a legally defined offense (federally) in the United States, but is in several states, such as Michigan[1]. It is not a crime in Australia and New Zealand as well as most countries.[2].
Home invasion differs from burglary in having a violent intent, specific or general, much the same way as robbery—personally taking from someone by force—is differentiated from mere larceny (theft alone).
Maybe they are trying to down play the event for some reason. Other than that, no clue why.
In my state (MA) unlawful entry of a domicile (residential home) or associated dwelling (i.e. barn or some other unattached building) as while persons who are otherwise lawfully there in place, with intent by the unlawful entrants to commit a crime (burglary, unlawful theft of services such as using the telephone, etc.) is by statute deemed to be an act of 'Home Invasion'.
No violent intent is necessary nor need be shown, just that of unlawful entry with persons residing inside.
As to the story it's just a news report, not a police report.
You can't ascribe anything more to this than it being what it is; A report of the news.

"If I was an extremist, our founding fathers would all be extremists," he said. "Without them, we wouldn't have our independence. We'd be a disarmed British system of feudal subjectivity."
States have different laws regarding this. The Rhode Island "Castle Doctrine" is defined in 11-8-8 and covers a "dwelling". Rhode Island General Law 11-8-2 through 11-8-6 defines breaking and entering into a dwelling. A dwelling is basically any building you have the legal right to be in, such as banks and churches etc. If the building you are in are not a dwelling house during daytime, the intent of the burglar must be to "commit murder, sexual assault, robbery or larceny". At night time the threshold is lower and the intent only has to be to "commit larceny or any felony or misdemeanor".
It gets more interesting if you are in your home and some enters your home since the statutes doesn't cover this in plain language.
In State Vs. Fetzik a person entered into an apartment through an unlocked door and therefore the language in the statute didn't qualify this as breaking and entering. He reached under his coat as if he was reaching for a weapon, when the intruder was shot. The court acquitted the home owner in this case even if he didn't break into the dwelling.
There is another case (State vs. Walton) where someone invited a friend to their dwelling, but then a fight broke out and the guest was asked to leave. The guest refused and attacked Walton, but Walton were able to defend himself and stabbed the now unwanted guest to death. Walton was initially convicted, but was found innocent upon appeal since the Castle Doctrine allowed him to NOT retreat since the guest had become an intruder as soon as he was asked to leave.
To make it even more complicated, what if two people who live in the same apartment have a fight and one ends up killing the other? In State vs. Quarles, Quarles was convicted of killing his girlfriend after a fight broke out. Quarles argued that 11-8-8 should provide him a presumption of self defense, but the court did not agree. Instead the court held "... the obligation to attempt retreat exists where one is assaulted in his or her own living quarters by his or her co-occupant."
As you can see, the plain language in the statutes are often not enough to get a clear picture, and this is where case law comes in.
Yes Michigan has a "cute" little name for it.
Either way, somebody in your house with or without you there, is screaming to be shot.

Coming to Florida: ATM That Dispenses Only Gold
Categories: Recessionomics
The idea is the brainchild of German company Gold to Go, which already operates the machines in luxury hotels located in Abu Dhabi, Spain, Italy and Germany. They've now set their sites on America, with their first location planned for Florida with another in Las Vegas.
The machines accept cash or credit card, and the price of gold is updated every 10 minutes as dictated by international markets. Users have their choice of picking up gold bars in the sizes of 1 gram, 5 gram, 10 gram and 1 ounce units. The machine also dispenses various international gold coins.
via TheDailyWh.at |
No word on where the first Florida location for the ATM will be, but don't color us shocked when it turns out to be on South Beach. After all, the was one of the favorite locations of Bond villain Goldfinger, who besides Scrooge McDuck, is one of the few types of people we could see using this.

Twilight Zone
With vivid hues and graphic designs, Kay McIntyre's looks of the moment have a cinematic side.
An air of mystery and drama prevails in Gothic Fantasy, a collection of out-of-this-world looks seen exclusively on these pages. Crafted by Kay McIntyre, who nabbed the Scottish Hairdresser of the Year title at the 2012 British Hairdressing Awards for the body of work, the portfolio was inspired by the Twilight Saga as well as the works of film director Tim Burton. "Strong silhouettes are balanced with sensual textures, while the shadowy mood lets the animated textures and haircolor take center stage," says McIntyre, owner and creative director of a namesake, independent salon group in the heart of Scotland and a British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame member. "The hair has a great combination of attitude and softness, which I think sums up what most women desire these days."
IMAGE ABOVE: After pre-lightening the hair with Wella Professionals Blondor and Color Touch, McIntyre worked a bit of Sebastian Trilliant into the style for heat protection. She then applied Nioxin DiaMax at the roots for lift before coaxing the hair into the final shape.
IMAGE ABOVE: Kay McIntyre prepped the hair with Sebastian Professional Mousse Forte before drying and crimping it for volume and hold. She affixed an extra-large padding to the crown area before wrapping the hair into the desired shape and pinning it into place.
IMAGE ABOVE: McIntyre first pre-lightened strands with Blondor, leaving out the root area. Next, she applied Potion 9 and Sebastian Thickefy Foam to the hair, blow-drying it for volume before wrapping sections around a wand for waves and brushing them in place.
IMAGE ABOVE: McIntyre sprayed the hair with Sebastian Potion 9 Light for added protection, then misted DiaMax at the roots for lift and body. She blow-dried strands and used her fingers to coax them into place and finished the design with Sebastian Re-Shaper.
IMAGE ABOVE: To create this dramatic shape, McIntyre placed a wig on the model's head, then precision-cut it into a bob design and enhanced it with a strong fringe.
IMAGE ABOVE: For this glamorous look, McIntyre prepped locks with Potion 9 and Mousse Forte, then blow-dried them smooth. Starting at the nape, she vertically wrapped the hair around large-barrel tongs and pinned the curls. Once they cooled, she brushed and molded them into undulating waves.

Some of this weakness must be laid at the feet of director St. Leon, who appears to have reined in some of the play's potential contradictions. In the second act, Elliot discovers that Annie is less in love with him than with her fantasies about Donald. It's a humiliating revelation in which love, sorrow, and anger collide -- and one that echoes Annie's own sexual betrayal. The audience really shouldn't know what will happen next in this explosive situation. But St. Leon keeps her cast in pretty tame territory -- you know that Elliot is just going to suck it up and suffer bravely and that Annie is going to see the light about him sooner or later. The result is a Hollywood ending that's not in much doubt. These reservations aside, there is also not much doubt about this Hollywood beginning. Apartment 3A marks a promising start to what I hope will be a vibrant and popular new theater venue and a creative home where all this talent -- St. Leon, Anthony, and company -- can thrive.
Readers of this column might also be interested in a new local theatrical magazine, Profiles, that has just begun publication. Robert Alpert, the peripatetic president of the Acting Studio, decided to publish Profiles to help fill a media gap in the arts community: "The papers cover the shows, but the theater and film scene here needs more coverage of people, available services, and long-range trends." To that end, Alpert places the free quarterly in theaters, agencies, and community centers around the region.

Guest Blog: King Tut's Final Secrets Story Board
BrainPOP Educator, Amanda Durrence, is an Instructional Technologist in Winston Salem, NC. She is certified in 6-9 Social Studies and was a 7th grade social studies teacher when she shared this lesson idea with us. She has used BrainPOP for the past 5 years in her teaching career and notes, "I've been in love with it since day one."
BrainPOP's Egyptian Pharaohs and Mummies movies inspired me to take my lesson on Ancient Egypt a few steps further with my students. I came across an interesting documentary by National Geographic titled "King Tut's Final Secrets." It tied in perfectly with what we were learning. BrainPOP's resources provided us with excellent resources to help students understand Ancient Egyptian culture/customs. Furthermore, they were prepped for the documentary by BrainPOP's explanation of the mummification process and why it was significant for the pharaohs.
As students watched the documentary, they learned about the three theories scientists developed regarding the cause of King Tut's death. The documentary did an excellent job of keeping my students in suspense and made them eager to find out the truth. Class discussions led students to examine the facts and determine which of these theories were most likely true. In the end, scientists uncovered the cause of death by conducting a CT scan of King Tut's 3,000 year old mummy. The students were amazed when the scientists were able to determine his cause of death thousands of years later! It was very rewarding to see their reactions. I could see the "ah ha!" expression on their faces as the mystery surrounding King Tut's death was revealed. Something had clicked!
Given the abundance of questions and discussions that were taking place, I decided to try something new. I came across the storyboard graphic organizer on BrainPOP Educators. Using the storyboard, I had my students create a comic strip. Together we reviewed examples of different comic strips (BrainPOP has tons in the FYI Section) and generated a list of ideas that answered one simple question, "What makes a great comic strip?" Using the criteria my classes generated, students designed a comic strip to illustrate the information that interested them most from the documentary. Some students decided to illustrate the three theories surrounding King Tut's death while others focused on different areas. It was great to see what each student learned from the lesson and how they chose to express it. After looking over their storyboards, it was evident they had a much deeper understanding of the content/vocabulary we studied and discussed in class. The lesson was a big success!

I often write about how a good start to your day often leads to having a good day in general.
A social, an energetic or a productive start sets the context for your day.
But on some days you may not get a good start for some reason.
Maybe you slept badly. Or the maybe the winter snow and cold is dragging your energy down.
Or you might have lost that positive momentum during a hard first part of the day and after lunch you feel tired, low or lost in a somewhat sad or uninspired funk.
What to do then? Is that day lost and should you just aim for a better day tomorrow?
Well, today is not over yet. Maybe you can still make something good out it.
Here's how I do that by breaking the negative mood and getting a new start. When you need a reboot to your day and mood choose one of these tips and see how it works for you.
Appreciate what you have.
The simplest of my most commonly used pick-me-ups.
I take about 2 minutes and sit or stand in silence. I tell myself: OK, I might not feel so good right now, but what can I be grateful for and appreciate in my life?
I usually come up with one simple thing. My tasty food. My health. That I have a roof.
That one thing opens up my mind. It redirects my thoughts from the negativity.
Then I build upon that one thing. I make mental jumps from the roof, to the warmth in our home, to the fluffy cat sitting beside me on the sofa, to that I can work from home as the rain pours outside.
I make those small mental leaps by just moving my attention around in the room I am in. Like skipping from stone to stone over a stream. And I take the time to slowly appreciate all those things.
This changes my mood to a happier, more warm and open one.
Act as you would like to feel.
Emotions work backwards too. So if I want to become more positive or enthusiastic then I act in the manner of a person who is positive or enthusiastic.
I may not feel like it. But I do it as best as I can anyway. I think of the task I have in front of me as something exciting and fun. I may answer some emails or talk to someone in a positive and enthusiastic manner.
If I feel unmotivated or nervous before some kind of meeting I may assume rapport (I think to myself that I am meeting one of my best friends just before the meeting and that puts me in the right mood and headspace).
Work out.
If I feel negative and indecisive or just sort of stuck in in-action then I work out.
30-40 minutes with my free weights melts away tension and stress from my body.
It recharges me and my focus becomes much sharper and it becomes easier once again to make decisions and to take action to move forward.
The change in mood and headspace after a workout can be pretty big in my experience and the nice thing is that it works pretty much automatically. You only have to show up and start working in out and things change.
Think for a minute and give someone a genuine compliment.
Here's a fun one that I use quite often and that will not only lift my own mood.
Spend one minute coming up with something you really and genuinely appreciate about someone in your life that is in the same room as you at some point during the day. Then tell him or her the genuine compliment you have come up with.
She or he will be happy. You'll feel good about yourself and get positive feelings too from the now smiling, happy and complimented person. And so the mood for the both of you is changed for the better.

Pizza Hut is inviting fans to upload videos of their best "Hut. Hut. Hut!" call, which could become part of the brand's first user-generated commercial to air on Feb. 3, right before the Super Bowl kicks off.

Captain Frank Hamer | |
Former Texas Ranger who "got" Bonnie & Clyde | |
Born | Francis Augustus Hamer March 17, 1884 Fairview, Wilson County, Texas |
Died | July 10, 1955 Austin, Texas | (aged 71)
Francis Augustus Hamer (March 17, 1884 – July 10, 1955) was a Texas Ranger, known in popular culture for his involvement in tracking down and killing the criminal duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. In a career that spanned the last days of the Wild West well into the automobile age, Hamer acquired legendary status in the Southwest as the archetypal Texas Ranger. He is an inductee to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame.
Frank Hamer was born in Fairview, Wilson County, Texas, where his father operated a blacksmith shop. He was one of five brothers, four of whom became Texas Rangers.[1] His family moved to the Welch ranch in San Saba County, where he grew up. Hamer later spent time in Oxford, Llano County (now a ghost town), which formed the basis of his joke about being the only "Oxford-educated Ranger." In his youth, Hamer worked in his father's shop, and as an older teenager worked as a wrangler on a local ranch. He began his career in law enforcement in 1905 while working on the Carr Ranch in West Texas when he captured a horse thief. The local sheriff was so impressed that he recommended that Hamer join the Rangers.
Like the cowboys of earlier generations, Hamer was at home on the open Texas prairie and understood the signs and patterns of nature. He interpreted men in terms of animal characteristics: "The criminal is a coyote, always taking a look over his shoulder; a cornered political schemer is a 'crawfish about three days from water'; a [man moving carefully] reminds him of a sandhill crane walking up a river-bed."[2] He savored the challenges of investigating and solving crimes. Describing his method in tracking Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, Hamer said that he learned their statistics, but "this was not enough. An officer must know the habits of the outlaw, how he thinks and how he will act in different situations. When I began to understand Clyde Barrow's mind, I felt that I was making progress."[3]
Hamer refused substantial money on principle to tell his life story; I'm Frank Hamer is a posthumous biography by Texas historians H. Gordon Frost and John Holmes Jenkins and was assembled thirteen years after Hamer's death from his notes and personal recollections to his family and associates. In the book, Hamer was quoted as saying corrupt politicians did not sit well with him, and he had little patience for those who broke the law. This attitude had tended to cause problems for him with local political establishments during his career. After a place was cleaned up, he would change jobs on a fairly regular basis.
Hamer was a Ranger off and on throughout his life, resigning often to take other jobs. He first joined Captain John H. Rogers's Company C in Alpine, Texas on April 21, 1906, and began patrolling the border with Mexico. In 1908 he resigned from the Rangers to become the City Marshal of Navasota, Texas. Navasota was a lawless boom town, wracked by violence: "shootouts on the main street were so frequent that in two years at least a hundred men died."[4] Though he was only 24, Hamer moved in and created law and order.[5] He served as marshal until 1911 when he started working as a special investigator in Houston, then as an officer for Harris County.
Hamer rejoined the Rangers in 1915 and again was assigned to patrol the South Texas border around Brownsville. Because of the constant unrest in Mexico, the Rangers dealt most seriously with arms smugglers, but also more ordinary bootleggers and bandits who plagued the border. On October 1, 1917 Hamer was wounded in Sweetwater Texas by Gus McMean who was shot and killed.[6] During this period, Hamer left the Rangers again to accept a position as a federal agent in the Prohibition Unit, where he served for about a year. Returning to state service in 1921, Hamer transferred to Austin, where he served as Senior Ranger Captain.
In the 1920s, Hamer became known for bringing order to oil boom towns such as Mexia and Borger. Records from that time indicate that there were complaints about some of Hamer's methods, but the same sources said the area was so lawless extreme measures may have been needed.[citation needed] In I'm Frank Hamer, Hamer was quoted candidly discussing the restrictions that upstanding citizens would seek to put on a lawman, not understanding that they were in effect asking him to fight with one hand tied behind his back.
In 1928 Hamer put a halt to a murder-for-reward ring, and his extraordinary means of accomplishing this made him nationally famous. The Texas Bankers' Association had begun offering rewards of $5,000 "for dead bank robbers — not one cent for live ones." Hamer determined that men were setting up deadbeats and two-bit outlaws to be killed by complicit police officers; the officers would collect the rewards and pay the men their finder's fees. But his investigation hit a stone wall: the police refused him support and the Bankers' Association's position was that "any man that could be induced to participate in a bank robbery ought to be killed." Spurred by urgency to thwart the next set of killings as well as personally infuriated, Hamer wrote and signed a detailed exposé of the racket, which he termed "the bankers' murder machine," then went to the press room of the State Capitol and handed out copies. A firestorm of public outrage led to indictments.[7]
Hamer retired in 1932 after almost 27 years with the Rangers. He left one week before Miriam "Ma" Ferguson "and her husband" recaptured the governor's office.[8] At least forty Rangers resigned[9] rather than serve again under Ma, who in her first term as governor of Texas had proven herself brazenly corrupt; indeed, one of the triumphant Ma's first acts of her second term was to fire all the remaining Rangers and replace them with her own appointees. A year later Hamer flatly summarized his reason: "When they elected a woman governor, I quit."[10] The commander of the Texas Rangers allowed him to retain a Special Ranger commission even after his official retirement as an active Senior Ranger Captain. The special commission is listed in the state archives in Austin.[11]
In the early 1930s, Bonnie and Clyde's crime spree had generated vast media coverage that embarrassed law enforcement and government officials across half a dozen states. Perhaps the last straw, at least for Texas officials, came on January 16, 1934, when Barrow, Parker and associate Jimmy Mullens raided Eastham prison farm, freeing Raymond Hamilton, Henry Methvin, Hilton Bybee (substituted for Clyde's friend Ralph Fults) and Joe Palmer. Hamilton's brother Floyd wrote that Methvin was not part of the original "invited" group but fled with them during the general confusion.[12] Though the hand he drew disappointed Barrow — he had particularly wanted to free Fults and another prisoner, Aubrey Skelley — the raid was the retaliation against the prison system that historian John Neal Phillips says was the driving force behind everything Clyde Barrow did: to pay back the Department of Corrections for abuse he had received there.[13] The Texas Department of Corrections received national negative publicity over the jailbreak, which delighted Barrow, who thought he finally had his revenge.
During the breakout two guards were shot and wounded by the escapees, guard Major Crowson fatally. Legend has it that as Crowson lay dying, Texas Department of Corrections chief Lee Simmons promised him that every person involved in the breakout would be hunted down and killed. In reality, just before Crowson died in the hospital on January 27, Simmons took his formal statement and assured Crowson he would send his killer, Joe Palmer, to the electric chair. He then turned his attention to restoring the reputation of the Texas prison system.
On the go-ahead from Governor Ferguson, Simmons persuaded Frank Hamer to accept a commission to hunt down the Barrow Gang as a special investigator for the prison system.[14] Hamer accepted the assignment but balked at the compensation — just $180 a month, less than half his current pay.[15] Simmons reiterated that Hamer would collect his fair share of the reward money, then sweetened the deal by authorizing Hamer to take whatever he wanted from among the Barrow Gang's possessions when he caught them.[15] As they were taking leave of each other, Simmons said he wouldn't presume to tell Hamer how to do his job, but his suggestion for getting Barrow and Parker would be to "Put 'em on the spot, know you're right — and shoot everybody in sight."[16]
Hamer set to the task. A smart and meticulous investigator, he examined the pattern of Barrow's movements, discovering he essentially made a wide circle through the lower Midwest, skirting state borders wherever he could, to take advantage of "state line" dictums (i.e., that officers from one state could not pursue suspects across the border of another state). The circle had as its anchor points Dallas, Joplin, Missouri and northwest Louisiana, with wider arcs outward for bank robberies. It was a busy couple of months for hunter and quarry: banks in Lancaster, Texas; Poteau, Oklahoma; and Rembrandt, Knierim, Stuart and Everly, Iowa[17] all fell victim to Barrow, Parker and Henry Methvin, one of the Eastham escapees who was now Clyde's protégé. Hamer was always following close behind.[18]
The push-pins on Hamer's mental tracking map weren't all bank jobs — there were murders as well. The killing of two Texas Highway Patrol officers[19] at Grapevine, Texas on Easter Sunday (April 1, 1934) inflamed public sentiment against Barrow and Parker, even though it was Barrow and Methvin who were the two shooters.
An eyewitness account given massive newspaper coverage stated that a drunken Bonnie Parker had emptied her gun into the prone body of Patrolman Murphy at Grapevine, laughing as she fired at the way his "head bounced like a rubber ball" on the road.[20] Although it was all untrue — the eyewitness was ultimately discredited — it was not before waves of bad publicity in all four Dallas papers had established her reputation as a whiskey-belting, bloodthirsty she-devil.[21] The attitudes of government and law enforcement officials were informed by the lurid newspaper stories and the furor they created. Governor Ferguson placed a $500 bounty on Parker's head for her perceived role in the murder of Patrolman Murphy.[22] Even Hamer, who had learned a great deal about the real Barrow and Parker in the preceding months, later told reporters, "I would have gotten sick [seeing her perforated body in the car], but when I thought about her crimes, I didn't. I hated to shoot a woman — but I remembered the way in which Bonnie had taken part in the murder of nine peace officers. I remembered how she kicked the body of the highway patrolman at Grapevine and fired a bullet into his body as he lay on the ground."[8][23]
Popular perception turned even further against the fugitives when just five days later Barrow and Methvin killed sixty-year-old single father Constable Cal Campbell[24] near Commerce, Oklahoma.[17] They kidnapped Commerce Chief of Police Percy Boyd, drove him across the border into Kansas, and when they released him, he had what he needed: their names to top the Campbell murder warrants, which were issued against Barrow, Parker and John Doe (Methvin) later that week.[25]
Nevertheless, Hamer knew that Clyde did not intend to be taken alive, and the Barrow Gang's history made it practical to assume that Bonnie would not voluntarily part from him.[26]
In mid-March Henry Methvin's family contacted Bienville Parish Sheriff Henderson Jordan about their son, his legal troubles and his involvement with Barrow. Though Hamer was a lone wolf by nature, after much complicated politicking and negotiation he formed an inter-jurisdictional posse and an ambush plan began to come together. First to join him were Sheriff Jordan and his deputy Prentiss Oakley, an excellent marksman. Hamer brought in fellow former Ranger Manny Gault, who had been fired by "Ma" Ferguson and now worked for the Texas Highway Patrol. Hamer requested that Dallas County Sheriff Smoot Schmid commit his deputy Bob Alcorn full time to the case; Schmid sent Alcorn and another Dallas County deputy, Ted Hinton.[27] The two deputies and Schmid had tried to ambush Barrow and Parker once before, in November 1933, near Sowers, Texas. After examining Barrow's abandoned V-8 Ford at Sowers and seeing that the barrage from his Thompson submachine gun hadn't penetrated its body, Hinton requested a BAR.[28]
At 9:15 a.m. on May 23, 1934, after 102 days of shadowing, hunter and hunted finally met on a desolate rural road near Gibsland, Louisiana. Barrow stopped his car at the ambush spot and the posse's 150-round fusillade was so thunderous that people for miles around thought a logging crew had used dynamite to fell a particularly huge tree.[29] Accounts of the last instants before the gunfire vary widely: Sheriff Jordan said he was calling out to Barrow to halt as the shooting started; Deputy Alcorn said that Captain Hamer was calling out; Deputy Hinton wrote that Alcorn called out. The only agreement between all six was that Deputy Oakley, perhaps nervously jumping the gun, stood and fired the opening burst from his Remington Model 8, and that his bullet into Barrow's left temple killed the outlaw instantly.[30] The posse then fired off another hundred-plus rounds, any number of which would have been fatal to Parker and also to Barrow.[31]
Hamer used a customized .35 Remington Model 8 semiautomatic rifle with a special-order 15-round magazine that Hamer had ordered from Petmeckey's Sporting Goods store in Austin, Texas. He was shipped serial number 10045, and this was just one of at least two Model 8's used in the ambush.[32] The rifle was modified to accept a "police only" 20-round magazine obtained through the Peace Officers Equipment Company in St. Joseph, Missouri.[28]
Although state, local and other sources had pledged monies to the Barrow reward fund that brought the pre-ambush total to some $26,000, most reneged on their pledges and when checks were finally cut for the posse members, a six-way split was all of $200.23.[33]
During the 1930s Hamer applied his skills in keeping the civil peace on behalf of various oil companies and shippers, generally as a strike breaker.
At the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939, he and 49 other retired Texas Rangers offered their services to King George VI, to help protect the United Kingdom in case of Nazi invasion.[34] A son, Billy, joined the U.S. Marine Corps and died during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
In 1948 he was called again to Ranger duty to play a small role in a notorious episode in an election acknowledged to have been one of the most corrupt in Texas history.[35][36] Hamer was hired by Governor Coke Stevenson, whose name by now was synonymous with old-school Texan conservative integrity,[37] to accompany him to the Texas State Bank in Alice, the county seat of Jim Wells County in South Texas. Stevenson wanted to examine the tally sheets for ballot box 13, which held ballots for his opponent, then-Representative Lyndon Johnson, he knew were fraudulent, and not in a way that favored him. Outside the bank stood two glowering groups of armed men. Hamer got out of the car. He approached the first group and said, "Git." They did. To the second group blocking the doors of the bank he said, "Fall back." They did.[38] In the end, Johnson won the election.
Frank Hamer retired in 1949 and lived in Austin until his death. In 1953 he suffered a heat stroke and though he lived two more years, never regained his health.[39] He was buried near his son in Memorial Park Cemetery in Austin.[40] In his life he was wounded 17 times and left for dead four times. He is credited with having killed between 53[8] and almost 70[41] people.
Unlike the real-life Barrow gang, the Barrow gang in the movie easily capture, tease and humiliate "Captain Frank Hamer, and Frank here is a Texas Ranger," who foolishly creeps up on them; their ambush at the end of the film appears to be his personal, petty revenge. After the film's release, Mrs. Frank Hamer, formerly Gladys Johnson Sims, originally from Snyder, Texas, and Frank Hamer, Jr., sued Warner Bros.-Seven Arts for defamation of character and in 1971 received an undisclosed out-of-court settlement. In the 2013 movie of the same name, Frank Hamer is portrayed by the actor William Hurt.

Alright, new player here. It's only been two days and I've already decided that Amumu is my favorite champion (and I'm going to buy him from the shop when I have enough IP). Now, Amumu is listed as a tank. So, I gear him up with health-regen, some armor, and much-needed mana-regen equipment so I can jump right into the front lines...and promptly be the first in line to get hit with the rape stick. Despair and Tantrum are good for taking out hordes of Minions, but I'm easily kited by ranged champions and easily out-damaged by melee heroes. Even when I team up with others it still ends the same. Even when I'm teaming up with others (which Amumu should always do) the only useful thing I do is buy them an extra 10 seconds from the wrath of enemy champions. This must mean that I am playing him completely wrong. So, experienced players, I need your help.
First of all, screw the regen. Regen is horrible in this game, aside from the Golem buff. Get a Rod of Ages as fast as you can. This will give Amumu plenty of Health, Mana, and some AP to let him push creeps easier and do some damage to enemy champions. I would also reccomend getting Boots of Swiftness because it helps you get in position for Bandage Toss and Curse of the Sad Mummy, but Mercury's Treads are also good because they reduce the duration of CC's on you and give you some Magic Resist. Since Amumu likes to travel with allies, it only makes sense that he should get an Aegis of the Legion, which gives him health, armor, and magic resist, in addition to granting armor, magic resist, and some bonus damage to nearby allies. Now, Amumu will need some armor. Sunfire Cape is probably your best option. It gives a ton of health, along with a substantial amount of armor and a nice effect that lets you do extra damage to nearby enemy creeps and champions. Next, Amumu needs some Magic Resist. Banshee's Veil is the best choice, giving a plethora of health, mana, and magic resist, in addition to a refreshing spell immunity. However, this makes your build very expensive, and it may be better in some situations to get a Quicksilver Sash, which offers plenty of Magic Resist and an activatable effect that will cure all debuffs on you. Finally, Amumu should get a Guardian Angel. This item gives Amumu even more armor and magic resist, in addition to an effect that will revive you when you die once every five minutes. Ultimately, though, a successful Amumu is dependant on his teammates. Good luck, a decent Amumu is always welcome on a team. =)
Thanks...I'm writing all this down.
Leaguecraft has a couple of good Amumu guides. Here: http://www.leaguecraft.com/strategie...Group+Hug+Time and Here: http://www.leaguecraft.com/strategie...rt+Amumu+(Tank) They're pretty similar, but not entirely the same. It'd be a good idea to read through both.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter is also good because with W he gets a passive slow, and Kriptini's build is good

Why data testing is important in computational research · Posted: Dec 31, 2007
As a bioinformatician I don't only develop software I also draw conclusions and further hypothesis from the results of my code. What follows below is example of why testing the output data may be just as important as testing the code that produces it.
In this example I want to see if the structural stability of a protein correlates with the number of disulphide bonds. I start by creating two methods. The first counts the number of cysteine amino acid residues in a protein sequence and the second returns the mean number of cysteines per-residue.
module CysteineStatistics def n_cys to_s.downcase.scan('c').length end def avg_cys n_cys / to_s.length.to_f end end class String include CysteineStatistics end
These two methods are mixed into the String class to give me the required functionality. As I want to be sure my code is doing what I want I'll write some test cases.
class TestCysteineStatistics < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_n_cysteines small_sequence = 'AAACAAA' assert_equal(small_sequence.n_cys,1) end def test_avg_cysteines small_sequence = 'AAACAAA' assert_equal(small_sequence.avg_cys,1.0/7.0) end end
Both these tests pass though so I feel confident my code is doing what I expect. Given that my code works I start to analyse a real set of protein sequences.
# Read in each sequence, then print out the average number of cysteines CSV.open(out_file,'w') do |csv| CSV.open(in_file,'r') {|row| csv << [row[0], row[1].avg_cys]} end
Which gives me a file containing average cysteine count for all my protein sequences. My next step may be to correlate these values with some structural stability measure as part of my research. However if I did this I would be wrong. Here's why.
class TestCysteineStatistics < Test::Unit::TestCase # A shortcut method to find the entry in the data file def entry(id) CSV.open('count.csv','r') do |row| return row[1].to_f if row[0] == id.to_s end end def test_avg_cysteines_for_2 assert_equal(0.025,entry(2)) end def test_avg_cysteines_for_3 assert_equal(0.0392156862745098,entry(3)) end end
Loaded suite test_data Started FF Finished in 0.018369 seconds. 1) Failure: test_avg_cysteines_for_2(TestCysteineStatistics) [test_data.rb:11]: <0.025> expected but was <0.0248447204968944>. 2) Failure: test_avg_cysteines_for_3(TestCysteineStatistics) [test_data.rb:15]: <0.0392156862745098> expected but was <0.0388349514563107>. 2 tests, 2 assertions, 2 failures, 0 errors
Here I created a second test suite to take two proteins from my calculated data and compare the average cysteine content by hand with the calculated value. Both of these tests however failed. So where is the error? The problem is not in my code which I unit-tested but instead of my expectations of what the input data is like.
I've divided the number of cysteines by the length of the sequence which is what I want. Nevertheless, the error however creeps in because the translated stop codons are included in the analysed protein sequence. So I think my proteins sequence looks like this:
When each protein sequence contains a '*' character at the end and is actually n+1 residues in length and looks like this:
This would meant all of my calculations were off by 1 and the degree of my error would be inversely proportional to the length of each examined sequence.
Unit-testing therefore found the possible errors I could think of while individually testing the data found the errors I couldn't think of.

Because we dared to dream, dared to work hard, we have turned dreams into realities, to leave some huge footprints on every aerospace frontier. Now it is time to create some new footprints!
-- Phil Condit
In September 2000, Boeing purchased Jeppesen Sanderson Inc., a leading provider of aeronautical charts.
The company had been founded by Elrey Borge Jeppesen, who started out as a barnstormer during the 1920s and flew with Varney Airlines, part of the Boeing corporation. Later he flew with Boeing Air Transport as an airmail pilot to fly the Salt Lake City, Utah, to Cheyenne, Wyo. and Salt Lake City to Oakland, Calif., routes. At $50 a week and 14 cents a mile, this route was the highest paying and the most dangerous.
With no aeronautical charts available, many pilots used road maps for navigation. When visibility was limited, they often followed the railroad tracks, which they called "hugging the UP" (Union Pacific). Jeppesen recorded field lengths, slopes, drainage patterns and information on lights and obstacles. He also included drawings that profiled terrain and airport layouts and noted phone numbers of local farmers who could provide weather reports. On his days off, Jeppesen climbed hills, smokestacks and water towers, using an altimeter to record accurate elevations.
Other pilots were constantly asking him for his navigational information. The requests became so frequent that Jeppesen began offering copies of his book for $10. Many pilots collected additional data on their own routes and reported it back so he could add to his growing collection of airport and route information.
Jeppesen also tested the new radio navigational aids and developed ways to use the technology for improving point-to-point navigation and also began designing instrument approach procedures, using the information he had gathered on airports throughout the Northwest. These procedures were documented on his instrument approach charts, the only source in the country for this type of information.
In the late 1930s, Varney Airlines, Boeing Air Transport and several other companies merged to become United Airlines. United decided to use Jeppesen's charts throughout their organization, becoming one of the first airlines to subscribe to his early Airway Manual Service. The chart business took off.
