More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After the initial interest surrounding the original Nikon 1 V1 and the somewhat lackluster follow-up to that in the form of the Nikon 1 V2, the firm has introduced, arguably, the most exciting looking and capable model yet, the Nikon 1 V3. Read on to find out how this reimagined model performs.
After the initial euphoria of the Nikon 1 V1 it's probably true to say subsequent models failed to capture the imagination in quite the same way. Now with the introduction of the waterproof AW1 Nikon has cleverly won back interest in the system. Read on to find out how this super-compact and submersible model performs.
Launched after the power-drive (PD) zoom model of the same focal length and relative aperture for the Nikon 1 system, this lens is lighter, more compact version that should single it out as a ideal lens for travel photographers. Read on to see how well it performs.
When launched, the EOS-M complete with the EF-M 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom was $899, but the kit can now be had for as little as $345. With lens available separately for $269 that sounds too good to be true. Read on to see how well the combination performs.
Nikon was one of the last big camera makers to offer a mirrorless model but when they finally announced the Nikon 1 system back in September, 2011, they attracted some controversy for adopting a new smaller sensor than rivals. Since then, they've done well to increase popularity of the system by expanding the range of lenses in a relatively short time frame. The 1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 18.5mm f/1.8 are two of the newest models from the firm. Read on to see how well they perform when mounted on the Nikon 1 V1 body.
Launched in September 2011, the Samsung NX200 marks a significant point in the NX line because it features an all-new APS-C CMOS sensor with 20.3megapixels. Among the hybrid cameras, this is about as big as sensors currently get, so Samsung are aiming at the high ground, a fact confirmed by the premium feel all-metal body – a first in the NX-series.
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
With the Pen E-PL5, Olympus updates its range of micro 4:3 compact hybrids with redesigned ergonomics, upgraded electronics, and especially with the integration of the same 16Mpix LiveMos sensor found in the OM-D E-M5. Will it show the same advances in image quality as the flagship camera of its line? Our tests provide the answer.
In the Nikon 1 line of digital compacts with interchangeable lenses, the V2 brings some nice new features: shooting at 60 i/s, Full HD video recording in 60p, different modes for slow motion, and … a new 1-inch, 14.2-megapixel, 6400 ISO CMOS sensor that we can hardly wait to test! But while we wait for its appearance on the market, here's all the skinny on the Nikon 1 V2.
Olympus caused a sensation when it revived the legendary OM line that had enjoyed its heyday in the silver halide era. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 successfully revisits the OM design in terms of its ergonomics and workmanship. Olympus has quite precisely taken advantage of this new family in its line of compact hybrid micro 4:3 cameras to introduce a new 16 Mpix Live MOS sensor. What is this new sensor all about? Does it represent an improvement over current Pen sensors? Does it help the micro 4:3 category to catch up with the APS-C hybrids (with the Sony NEX in the lead)? Our sensor review provides the answers.
After its great success over the past several years in refurbishing its PEN line, Olympus is continuing its quest for innovation by updating other legendary cameras of the past.
A few weeks ago, Nikon announced the Nikon 1 series that we had the chance to test immediately. For this new format of camera, Nikon also designed a completely new format of lenses, the "Nikon 1 mount," for which we are publishing the measurements today.
Nikon put a lot of effort to design lenses that offer the best balance of image quality and portability, and apparently it paid off. Let's look closely at how these lenses perform compared to their direct competitors.
With an overall DxOMark score of 47, the Pentax Q is well-placed among cameras with sensors smaller than 4/3. In fact, its results are equivalent to the best compacts in this line (e.g., Canon Powershot G12 and Powershot S95) — not bad at all for a sensor that is smaller than most compact sensors (4.6 x 6.2 mm for the Pentax Q vs 5.8 x 7.9 for the Olympus XZ1).
Introduced this past summer, the PEN E-PL3 and PEN E-PM1 are the latest micro-four-thirds cameras from Olympus. These 2 new models are intended to complete the PEN EP3 series and thus offer a whole range of compact cameras with interchangeable lenses. Each model offers a different set of controls with a different size, depending on whether you need more directly-accessible controls while shooting, or if you favor a pocketable camera. But as we'll see, given that they're based on the same sensor as the PEN EP3, these cameras perform equally well (or poorly) in term of image quality.
The Nikon Coolpix P7000 was launched last year to clearly compete with the Canon Powershot G12 on the high-end compact market. Despite reasonably good specs, the P7000 wasn't really well received because of some usability and responsiveness issues. So, we were quite interested to see what this new Nikon Coolpix P7100 would offer.
It's rare in the world of photography for a manufacturer to come up with an entirely new product line from scratch, and it's equally rare for a famous manufacturer such as Nikon (the world market leader) to offer a new lens mount (Nikon CX). This makes the launch of the Nikon 1 line (Nikon J1 and Nikon V1) a major event in photography this fall.
The long awaited and rumored mirrorless Nikon camera was finally announced today. And it's not just one but a pair of new mirrorless compact "1 System" cameras that are coming to compete with the Sony NEX 7, the Pentax Q, the Olymps PEN EP3 or even the Fujifilm FinePix X10. These 2 first models in this new Nikon 1 series are the Nikon J1 and Nikon V1.

Father Quotes and Sayings about dad
Some people don't believe in Heroes. They've never met my DAD.
Dad's favorite sayings
10) When I was your age…
9) A little bit of dirt never hurt anyone.
8) Go ask your mother.
7) Were you raised in barn?
6) You don't know what hard work is.
5) It builds character.
4) Don't make me stop this car!
3) You're grounder till you're thirty.
2) Money doesn't grow on trees.
1) Because I said so.
The only man a girl can trust is her daddy.
Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever. God bless your soul my father. !
Being a father
My feeling of responsibility for the safety and well being of my children is so strong, (perhaps pathologically so) that should an asteroid threaten to wipe out all life on earth, I would still hold myself responsible for their fate.
A good father is a man who supports his children even when he has no money.
Whether you fall or fail, whether you cry or sob, all you can look forward to is that your dad believes in you. He picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.
Your father may have passed away. But you can still look up to the sky and wave goodbye. You can't forget him no matter what. But at least the sky has one more angel to say hi to. Love and miss you dad.
Good fathers make good sons.
That was when the world wasn't so big and I could see everywhere. It was when my father was a hero and not a human.
– Markus Zusak
A man can have many children, but a child can only have one father.
Fathers are angles, without father the world seems to be nothing. I love you papa I miss you very much.
A happy family is a reflection of a good father and a loving husband.
A happy family needs a loving and caring father, and he who knows how to be a mother sometimes.
A good father is a man who buys your toys, before he buys his.
The only man you can depend on is your father.
Even Though You Don't Know Your Dad, Doesn't Mean You Still Don't Love Him…
Even If You & Your Dad Have Hard Times, You Guys Will Always Be Like The Bestes Of Friends No Matter What …
There's Always That One Special Daddy's Little Girl…
If You Come Downstairs Wearing Something Not Appropriate, Your Dad Will Make You Change, Just Because He Doesn't Want To See His Little Girl Grow Up…
Love You Daddy <3
It's easier for a father to have children…than for children to have a real father.
The best thing a father can do for his baby, is to love his mother.
Dad – a son's first hero, a daughter's first love.

About Me
- About Hikamaru
- Biography
- "Her name is Hikamaru, she loves that thing called Oshawott."
Profile art credit: alexandrasalas @ DeviantArt
Hi, I'm Hikamaru! But you can call me Nichole (yes that is my name, it's not a typo!). I'm a 22-year-old from Sydney, all the way down in Australia. I've been here for quite a long time now and I don't ever plan to leave anytime soon. I love cute stuff, anime, music, humor, stalking the heck out of profiles and of course Pokemon. Most of my fave Pokemon tend to be from newer generations but I still have a fair share of fave old Pokemon too.
So yeah, they call me that Oshawott Fangirl because I simply adore Oshawott and his evolution line. My fave Pokemon ever, and he'll always be my fave no matter how many generations pass by. I always love meeting new members here at PC so don't hesitate to leave me a visitor message anytime, or feel free to pop by PC's Pokemon Showdown server!
Also, I am very brittle emotionally so hurting my feelings is not the right thing to do. I had a very dark and troubled childhood and suffer moments of insecurity and fear when I get emotionally hurt, which badly hurts self-confidence and as a result I have become anti-social in recent years. Affects me more in real life compared to online so don't fear if you upset me, but please don't start dramatic events here because I will shatter and it'll make me sulk and hurt your feelings too.
I became a supporter after it was given to me as a gift for my 20th birthday. I'll also try and answer any of your questions if I can, as long as it's something easy. Oh, and it was about time I re-wrote this intro.
I'm usually around The Welcome Lounge, The Treehouse, most Pokemon sections and also the battle server most of the time, but I do sometimes lurk into other places occasionally.

As you guys may have heard, there's an event going on in The Treehouse where members are split into opposing teams and I have ended up on the fiery end of the pit which is the Rad Reds, led by Sonata and Chase (Castform) and ready to burn down their opposition.

As in the section here on PC.
Seriously, I was one who thought I'd never find myself posting in off-topic areas even more than the Pokemon boards but somehow the discussions in The Treehouse have become so fun and unexpected lately. I'd most likely blame it on the new mod team, one of which includes a certain guy who loves a certain cute form-changing Pokemon associated with weather.

I'm not even so sure any team would give us a nice new rack complete with balls for Greivis.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
That's what happens when you don't throw the ball to your bigs who have sealed in the paint, Vasquez. You try something else and turn the ball over.
This team is worse because Jarrett Jack didn't turn the ball over all day and would probably feed Davis when he seals in transition. He does it most of the time but Vasquez doesn't seem to understand how to lob the ball in.
Michael McNamara @McNamara247
I dont want to hear the "Conditioning" excuse. Davis just checked in after 30 minutes off and he is still walking around
Vasquez and his awful turnovers will be the death of me
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
do you guys think benson will be quitting after seeing that team?
Why would Davis sprint down the court if Vasquez doesn't know how to give him the friggin' ball most of the time?
Questionable shot there. You ain't Kobe. But whatever.
and what is with these ridiculous outside shots that davis keeps taking
Whose nuts will Batum grab this game?
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
I'll go for both sides, that is also a horrific call.

Stanwood festival is a birder's delight
Mike Benbow / For The Herald Snow geese in the Stillaguamish River estuary south of Stanwood December 24, 2012.
Mike Benbow / For The Herald
Snow geese take flight in the Stillaguamish River estuary south of Stanwood in early January.
Mike Benbow / For The Herald Snow geese in the Stillaguamish River estuary south of Stanwood fly in front of the Cascade Range on January 2, 2013.
In its eighth year, the Stanwood-area festival on Feb. 23 and 24 will focus on geese, swans and other shorebirds from the far north.
The event is a birder's delight, offering expert speakers and a variety of guided and unguided trips to the area's top sites for birding.
And the best part about it is that attendance is free.
Speakers include Charles Duncan, executive director of the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network, and Rob Butler, an expert on shorebird conservation. Their visit to the area acknowledges the region's recent designation as a site of importance to the survival of shorebirds. Some 20,000 shorebirds migrate to the deltas of the Stillaguamish and Skagit rivers each winter.
Duncan will talk about his organization and its work. Butler will talk about the importance of protecting shorebirds and tell the story of the migration of the sandpiper.
Back for the third year in a row is Vasily Baranyuk, a senior scientist with Russia's Wrangel Island Nature Preserve, the breeding ground for the snow geese that visit this area. Baranyuk has studied the snow geese for 20 years.
There will be seminars on identifying shorebirds and waterfowl, and basic information about bald eagles.
In addition to seminars, talks and videos, there are field trips, including visits to the Nature Conservancy's property on Port Susan Bay, which just underwent a major restoration project.
Kat Morgan, Port Susan program manager for the conservancy, said the $4 million project finished last fall basically pared down an existing dike. The project returned about 150 acres of marginal farmland to the Stillaguamish River estuary, where it will provide more habitat for salmon and shorebirds.
There will be two tours of the property each day of the festival, and Morgan said she will be leading some of them to show people the work and talk about what it's intended to accomplish.
There will be other guided tours to look at shorebirds, a bus tour to see snow geese and swans, and a trip to Iverson Spit on Camano Island. Visitors will be steered to local birding sites for self-guided trips.
Registration online is required for many of the trips. Go to www.snowgoosefest.org.

"Let us briefly consider where our discordant reigious certainties are leading us on a global scale. The earth is now home to about 1.4 billion Muslims, many of whom believe that one day you and I will either convert to Islam, live in subjugation to a Muslim caliphate, or be put to death for our unbelief.
Islam is now the fastest-growing religion in Europe. The birthrate among European Muslims is three times that of their non-Muslim neighbors. If current trends continue, France will be a majority-Muslim country in twenty-five years - and that is if immigration were to stop tomorrow.
Throughout Europe, Muslim communities often show little inclination to acquire the secular and civil values of their host countries, and yet they exploit these values to the utmost, demanding tolerance for their misogyny, their anti-Semitism, and the religious hatred that is regularly preached in their mosques. Forced marriages, honor killings, punitive gang rapes, and a homicidal loathing of homosexuals are now features of an otherwise secular Europe, courtesy of Islam.
Political correctness and the fear of racism have made many Europeans reluctant to oppose the terrifying religious commitments of the extremists in their midst. With a few exceptions, the only public figures who have had the courage to speak honestly about the threat that Islam now poses to European society seem to be fascists. This does not bode well for the future of civilization."

Every vote counts in the Kitimat plebiscite
Posted Mar 27
Things are heating up in Kitimat as Enbridge door-knocks and advertises to get the 'yes' vote while Douglas Channel Watch, a local volunteer organization, stands up to defend their community from crude oil tankers and pipelines.
In just 17 days, Kitimat residents will vote in a plebiscite on the Northern Gateway Pipeline.
Enbridge is pulling out all the stops to buy support. Paid Enbridge employees have parachuted into Kitimat and are knocking on doors, trying to convince people to vote Yes. They are running full page ads in newspapers across the region.
Who is speaking up for wild salmon and the future of our watersheds and coast?
Douglas Channel Watch is a group of local volunteers based in Kitimat who are dedicated to protecting the environmental integrity of Douglas Channel and its watersheds for present and future generations and have come together because of a love for their home. They are working day and night for the next couple weeks to spread the word about the risks of supertankers and crude oil pipelines.
They need your help.
Together, let's raise our voices and secure a sound future for all.
On April 12th Kitimat residents will vote on the plebiscite question to support or oppose the project and the 209 conditions set out by the National Energy Board.
You can say "NO" to Enbridge by signing their petition, donating, or signing up to volunteer for the campaign.
Every dollar donated to Douglas Channel Watch will go directly into purchasing leaflets, newspaper ads, radio spots and signs in the leadup to the April 12 vote.
Click here now to donate to Douglas Channel Watch.
Enbridge has deep pockets but the people of British Columbia have big hearts. Let's show Douglas Channel Watch that we have their backs.More...

Rosglue documentation
From Brown University Robotics
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a sub-area of machine learning concerned with how an agent should select actions given its environment and often cites robotics as a potential application area. While some researchers have bridged the gap and used RL algorithms in robot applications, most RL experiments happen in simulation and are never ported over to a robot due to programming and maintenance difficulties. Additionally, individuals in the RL community use their own software frameworks for evaluating and creating learning techniques. Robotics has suffered from similar problems where labs have primarily created their own infrastructure and evaluation across different techniques has become difficult if not impossible. RL-Glue is a standard interface that allows RL researchers to share agent, environments and experiment programs together. ROS is likewise a middle-ware tool for robotics. The use of middleware systems like ROS and RL-Glue, and the more prevalent availability of off the shelf robots presents an opportunity for RL algorithms to be used for robotic tasks.
We introduce rosglue, a framework that allows robots running ROS to be environments for RL-Glue agents. Our hope is that this may lead to increased communication between the fields and open further collaborations.
Short Primer on ROS
ROS is an open-source robot middle-ware system. It provides many services including hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementations for commonly used functionality, and message-passing. If you're familiar with ROS, feel free to skim or skip this section. If you've never heard of ROS before or know very little about it you can learn more by checking out the tutorials and documentation on http://www.ros.org/wiki/ The goal of this project is to allow you to begin RL-Glue with a robot running ROS quickly.
Topics and Services
Perhaps the most important thing to understand about ROS is how it exposes the functionality of the robot. This happens in one of two ways: as a topic or as a service. Both services and topics can be used for observing the robots environment or for performing control.
Topics are an asynchronous communication of streams of objects. A process can publish topics and other processes may subscribe to these topics and use the data as they wish without directly communicating to the publisher process. Available topics can be viewed and examined through the use of of the rostopic command: http://www.ros.org/wiki/rostopic
Services are a synchronous communication system and are much like function calls in many programming languages, they take in arguments and return responses. Services, under ROS, will always return an object which can be arbitrarily complex. Available topics can be viewed and examined through the use of of the rostopic command: http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosservice
Short Primer on RL-Glue
RL-Glue provides a standard interface for the three major components of an RL system: the agent, the environment, and the experiment. Much like with ROS you're familiar with RL-Glue, feel free to skim or skip this section. If you've never heard of RL-Glue before or know very little about it you can learn more by checking out http://glue.rl-community.org/wiki/Main_Page
In order to program in RL-Glue developers download a codec for the language of the user's choice, currently C/C++, Java, Lisp, Matlab, and Python are supported. The RL-Glue interface is a series of functions that are defined by the codec. For example a standard python RL-Glue environment the following functions must be defined:
One of the most important things to understand about RL-Glue is the Task Spec. The task speck is the problem definition in RL-Glue. The task spec follows the following template:
VERSION <version-name> PROBLEMTYPE <problem-type> DISCOUNTFACTOR <discount-factor> OBSERVATIONS INTS ([times-to-repeat-this-tuple=1] <min-value> <max-value>)* DOUBLES ([times-to-repeat-this-tuple=1] <min-value> <max-value>)* CHARCOUNT <char-count> ACTIONS INTS ([times-to-repeat-this-tuple=1] <min-value> <max-value>)* DOUBLES ([times-to-repeat-this-tuple=1] <min-value> <max-value>)* CHARCOUNT <char-count> REWARDS (<min-value> <max-value>) EXTRA [extra text of your choice goes here]";
VERSION RL-Glue-3.0 PROBLEMTYPE episodic DISCOUNTFACTOR 1 OBSERVATIONS INTS (2 0 1) DOUBLES (3 -2 0.5) (-.5 .5) ACTIONS INTS (0 4) REWARDS (-5.0 5.0) EXTRA additional notes go here (for exampe author and problem name)
This defines the learning problem as:
Using rosglue
rosglue is designed to be a bridge between RL-Glue and ROS. As pictured in the figure, rosglue treats a robot running ROS as an RL-Glue environment.
Currently rosglue allows observations to be ROS topics. Multiple topics can be used to make up the observation vector. The user decides which topics they would like to use as observations for the learning algorithm and specifies them through a yaml file that we will describe in more detail below.
Actions may either be ROS topics, published by rosglue, or ROS services. They are specified in a similar manner to observations
Reward and Termination Conditions
Reward and termination functions may either be ROS topics or custom python functions created by the user.
Custom Functions
The reward function is named get_reward and is passed a state variable. The function accesses the state through the topic and fields. For example if the robot is using the '/position' topic as part of its observation vector and you wish to give reward when the robot reaches a certain position in x dimension the current observation value for the x field would access it in the following way:
The reward function is expected to be a one dimensional reward.
When the user creates one of these custom functions they must use rosparam to let rosglue know which file to use.
For example if the function can be found in the mycode_reward.py file in the same directory as rosglue the following call will be issued:
rosparam set /brown/rosglue/rewardfile mycode_reward.py
rosparam set /brown/rosglue/terminationfile mycode_termination.py
ROS Topics for Reward/Termination
ROS topics can also be used to specify reward and termination functions. For example if the robot is using the /position topic as part of its observation vector and you wish the agent to move to higher values in the x dimension, you could allow the x field of the /position topic to also be the reward function and indicate this in the Yaml file. The reward topic must still be a one dimensional reward and the termination topic must be boolean.
Yaml Specification File
Other than potentially using the custom reward and termination conditions a user does not need to perform any other RL-Glue coding. Instead the user defines the robotics environment through a yaml configuration file. This yaml is similar to the RL-Glue task spec in that it defines the problem. In the yaml configuration file the user defines not only the RL task but also which portions of the ROS environment will provide the observations and action interfaces. rosglue will use the configuration file to automatically handle all of the messages and translate from the RL-Glue environment to ROS for the user. The RL researcher is no longer required to program in ROS and the robot researcher can use RL-Glue agents available in the RL-Library without understanding the RL-Glue interface.
Example Yaml File
In order to make this more concrete we show an example yaml file for a task in which the learning agent uses an iRobot Create for a navigation task. In this task the robot is set within a maze and needs to find its way to a goal position.
The observations provided by ros are topics that are published on the /position topic. This topic has three fields that the agent will use during learning: x, y, and theta (orientation). The actions are then provided using a service named /act. The /act service takes only one argument and this argument can have three values 0 (right), 1 (forward), 2 (left). The reward and termination are defined by the user in a python file specified using rosparam.
problemtype: episodic discountfactor: 1 observations: /position: x: - -0.05 - 3.0 y: - -0.05 - 3.0 theta: - -1.6 - 3.5 actions: /act: - service - arg1: - 0 - 2 reward: type: glue #ros or glue range: - -1 - 10 termination: type: glue #ros or glue extra: iRobotCreate by Sarah Osentoski

Delaware Hayes will be well represented at the upcoming Division I State Swim Meet, as Pacers will be competing in a school-record five events Friday and Saturday at Canton McKinley High School.
Five girls will be making the trip north, including Jessica Ward and Brittany Puthoff — a duo who will be competing at the state showcase for the second year in a row.
Ward, a member of two state-qualifying relay teams (200 medley and 400 freestyle), will be especially busy. In addition to her work on the relay squads, she will competed for top honors in the 100 fly and 100 back. She is the 19th-seeded swimmer in both events, entering with respective qualifying times of :57.59 and :58.30 — both school records set at Saturday's district meet.
Ward is only the second girl to represent Hayes in two individual events. The last was Julie Long in 1980 and '81. She will also be the first girl from Hayes to swim in four events at the state meet.
Puthoff, who is also a member of the two relay teams, qualified in the 100 breaststroke, where she enters as the 24th seed with a qualifying time of 1:07.10.
Joining Ward and Puthoff on the 200 medley relay will be Lindsey Norris and Regan DeWitt, who teamed up with the duo to qualify with a district time of 1:47.86 — a school-record time earning them the seventh seed in the upcoming state showcase.
The 400 freestyle foursome, which also set a school record in district competition (3:38.64), consists of Ward, DeWitt, Puthoff and Samantha Curtin.
Hayes won't be the only county squad at the state meet, either, as Liberty made a splash at districts while qualifying four girls.
Three of the four will be competing in the 1-meter diving event as the Patriot trio enters as owners of three of the top four qualifying scores. Olivia Ball had the best score in district action, securing a 482.85. Alexandra Clay and Brittany Menninger nabbed the third and fourth seeds.
Centerville's Morgan Mullins is the only girl in the state seeded higher then the three divers from Liberty, notching a qualifying score of 486.25 at districts.
The final local state qualifier is the Patriots' Olivia Bently, who punched a ticket thanks to her work in the 100 breaststroke, where she will be the 20th seed with a seed time of 1:06.54.
The preliminary races will be held Friday at 9 a.m. with the finals (top 16) set for Saturday at 4 p.m. The diving event will also be held Saturday, set for at 9 a.m.

The court administrator's office handles a variety of citations ranging from petty misdemeanor offenses which include minor parking and traffic violations to misdemeanor offenses including driving while intoxicated, theft and worthless check violations.
What are the maximum penalties for a petty misdemeanor and a misdemeanor?A petty misdemeanor is punishable by up to a maximum fine of $300.00. Because there is no possibility of jail time, a petty misdemeanor is not considered a crime.
A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
What to do if you receive a citation or traffic ticket- information about paying finesFiling feesWhat to do if you are required to appear in court or you wish to enter a plea of not guilty to the chargesPublic DefendersWhat to expect at a first appearance arraignment hearingWhat to expect at a pretrial hearing for a misdemeanor caseWhat to expect at a court trialWhat to expect at a jury trialHow do I obtain driving records?State of Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services InformationHow do I get my driver's license back after it has been suspended or revoked?How to expunge a criminal/traffic case
What to do if you are required to appear in court or you wish to enter a plea of not guilty to the charges:Come to the Kandiyohi County Courthouse on the date and time noted on your citation. You will be required to complete a Statement of Rights form before your court appearance. If you are charged with a misdemeanor(s) and cannot afford your own attorney and you wish to be represented by an attorney during court proceedings, you may complete an Affidavit for Public Defender form prior to your first appearance. If you qualify for a public defender, one will be assigned to you. (See Criminal section for information about court appearances)
(return to top)
Public Defenders:Public defenders are present at arraignment and pre-trial hearings for misdemeanor cases and you may apply for their services at any time. It is best to apply at the arraignment hearing. You may request the application form when you check in for court, complete the form while waiting, and submit it to the clerk prior to the start of court or to the judge when your case is called. You must pay an assessment fee if you qualify for services, and the judge can order reimbursement for services based upon your financial status. If a public defender represents you at the arraignment, another public defender may represent you at the pre-trial. However, if you are appointed a public defender at the pre-trial, this same attorney will represent you at a trial.
What to expect at a first appearance arraignment hearing:You are asked to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty by the Court. If you plead not guilty, a pre-trial hearing or a court-trial is scheduled. If you enter a plea of guilty, you will be sentenced. The court encourages you to resolve the matter at the first appearance. A prosecutor is present at arraignments to discuss the facts of the case with you and to attempt a settlement. There is also a public defender present for consultation on misdemeanor cases if you qualify for services.
What to expect at a Pre-Trial Hearing for Misdemeanor Cases:A pre-trial is the second appearance after you plead not guilty at the arraignment. It is an informal meeting between the prosecutor, your attorney and/or yourself. There is discussion regarding the facts and merits of the case to determine if the case can settle or if it must be tried by the court or a jury. If no settlement is reached, the case will be scheduled for a court or jury trial.
What to expect at a Court Trail:A court trial is a trial before a judge only. At a court trial, the prosecutor will present evidence regarding the charge(s) against you. You may bring witnesses to testify on your behalf at the trial. If your witnesses are reluctant to testify, you may subpoena them prior to court. After all testimony has been heard by a judge, the judge will make a ruling regarding innocence or guilt. If you are found guilty a judge will impose a sentence that may include a fine.
What to expect at a Jury Trial:A jury trial is a trial where guilt or innocence is decided by a panel of six jurors. A judge presides over the trial. If you have witnesses who are reluctant to testify, you may subpoena them prior to the court date. The jury must come to a unanimous decision regarding innocence or guilt. If you are found guilty the judge will impose a sentence that may include fines and/or jail time.

How to expunge a criminal/traffic caseThis information is provided as information only and does not represent itself as complete or authoritative. A criminal expungement is a complex legal matter and you are advised to retain the services of an attorney to insure proper handling of your expungement.
Request the "Petitioner's Affidavit for Expungement" form and instructions for Expungement. These materials are available at the Kandiyohi County Court Administrator's Office. You will also need to request a proposed order form.
Complete the petition and serve the petition on the proper parties. The petition should be served by mail on ALL state and local agencies and their attorney's whose records would be affected by the proposed order (Minnesota Statutes 609A.03 Subd. 3). The following list includes some of the agencies you would likely need to serve--but there may be others:
After the petition is served on the necessary party(ies), you may file your case with the court. To complete your filing with the court, you need to file the petition, affidavits of service and a proposed order and pay the filing fees to the court administrator. The proposed order will be completed by the judge if your expungement is granted.
NOTE: A petition is NOT required if the individual has not been convicted of a felony or gross misdemeanor within the ten years immediately preceding the determination of all pending criminal actions in his/her favor, AND either of the following occurred:
When these conditions are met, the individual should contact the appropriate arresting agency and follow procedures outlined by Minnesota Statute 229C.11.

Indeed, Ashley Pierce said yes to the dress Tuesday.
Pierce, a Kinston native, chairwoman of Lenoir County Young Professionals and a new Kinston Housing Authority commissioner, applied and won a spot on the TLC bridal show "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta."
The entire process only spanned about a month.
"We applied in late December to be on the show, and they emailed us the first week of January to find out if we could set up a phone interview," Pierce said. "They called me on the phone about a week later, and interviewed us and asked when we could come film. We selected a date and came down (Monday) night to film (Tuesday) — about six hours."
A branch manager with Self Help Credit Union, Pierce is engaged to Kenny Chadwick, who works with Wells Fargo Dealer Services in Winterville. They plan to be married Oct. 5 at the Queen Street United Methodist Church.
The Atlanta spinoff of the popular "Say Yes to the Dress" franchise takes place in the northern suburb of Sandy Springs, at "the nation's largest full-service bridal salon," Bridals by Lori. It's owned by Lori Allen, who is assisted by fashion director Monte Durham.
Ashley's grandmother, Vicki, picked out a dress online before they showed up for filming at 9 a.m., and it was generally well-received. The other members of Pierce's bridal party who accompanied her to Atlanta also chose a number of prospective dresses. After initial individual interviews, she tried on six to see which one worked best.
However, once the process began, Pierce's grandmother's choice turned out to not be the right pick.
"One dress her grandmother picked out online, and we thought we'd really like it," bridesmaid Becky Hines said as they were at the mid-point of filming. "But when she got it on, it just wasn't the dress for her. … Things just look different online, even when you put in your body type. We're just waiting to find the one, because we're leaving with a dress today."
When Pierce finished trying on the different selections, none of them were quite right, either. She couldn't choose between the final two. That's when Allen stepped in.
"I couldn't really decide between two, and the owner of the shop, Lori, she found a dress that kind of married the two dresses together — the things I liked about both of them," Pierce said. "She brought it out, and that's the dress I picked."
Not wanting to give away too many specifics about the winning selection, Pierce said, "It's a beautiful dress — ivory — and it has some bling on it: a belt, a beautiful belt."
Her segment is slated to be included in Season Five of the series, but it's not known yet when it will run or if it will run.
"They overfilmed, so there's a chance we may not be selected for the show," Pierce said. "However, they seemed to really like us."

|Operation Reclaim
|19 Oct 12:47
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe and the Mayor of London Boris Johnson today, Wednesday 19 October launch a major crime busting day with officers around the capital cracking down on uninsured drivers.
One thousand MPS officers will be disrupting criminal activity by targeting uninsured drivers and seizing hundreds of vehicles in London.
And in a graphic warning to rogue motorists Commissioner Hogan-Howe and Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, are using a pile of crushed cars to demonstrate the consequences of being uninsured.
In a coordinated series of operations across the capital, the MPS is targeting those drivers who are more likely to be involved in criminal activity, five times more likely to be involved in collisions and less likely to have vehicles in a road-worthy condition.
This action follows a commitment by Commissioner Hogan-Howe to target criminals and disrupt their activities.
Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said: "This is the first of the operations I have asked for where officers across the Met will spend a dedicated day on a regular basis targeting uninsured drivers and those believed to be connected to crime.
"We know from experience approximately eight per cent of uninsured drivers are criminals. They're also more likely to be involved in crashes and have unsafe cars so we're taking this action to make London's roads safer.
"Driving without insurance is an offence and this operation will seize the cars of those who ignore the law, while reclaiming the roads for London's responsible and law abiding drivers."
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "Operation Reclaim is designed - quite literally - to deliver a crushing blow against crime. Bernard Hogan-Howe demonstrated its success in Merseyside where crime fell by 40 per cent and this new push in London shows how serious we all are about making the city safer.
"Criminals are being given the opportunity to come and collect theirs cars and face arrest or simply watch their vehicles get crushed. I'm confident this day of action is one of many new effective measures the Commissioner is enforcing to bring down crime in the capital and he has my full support."
Leading today's operation, Commander Steve Watson from the MPS added: "The majority of uninsured drivers are also habitual criminals. Those engaged in criminality will use vehicles to transport themselves across London and beyond to commit crime. They will also use vehicles to carry weapons, drugs and stolen property. This initiative brings our officers into contact with criminals and, through the robust enforcement of the law, disrupts their offending and enables us to bring them to book.
"Uninsured drivers are also five times more likely to be involved in collisions and so this initiative will also help to make the roads safer. Driving without insurance is an offence which actually affects everyone. The reality is that everyone who does insure their vehicles has to pay a significant premium to cater for those who can't be bothered - this is simply unacceptable.
"Our message to uninsured drivers is to get it sorted immediately. Otherwise we will seize your vehicle and prosecute you - it's just a matter of time."
Today's activities come under the MPS Operation Reclaim initiative which was originally launched in 2007. The operation will be a sustained campaign to target uninsured drivers to disrupt criminal activity and improve the safety of London's roads.
Roadside check points using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) will be deployed at a number of locations, while officers across the capital will be actively pursuing uninsured drivers using fixed cameras or routine number plate checks.
Uninsured vehicles will be immediately seized and potentially destroyed, while offenders will be prosecuted. The penalty for driving a vehicle without insurance is six penalty points and a £200 fine, and can even lead to a driving ban. In 2010 the MPS seized 34,000 vehicles and prosecuted thousands of people.
To highlight the consequences of not insuring vehicles, a small selection of seized and crushed cars will be on display in Horse Guards Parade, Westminster this Wednesday afternoon.
Neil Drane, Head of Database Services at the Motor Insurers' Bureau [MIB] said: "It's great to see the Metropolitan Police using their resources to target uninsured drivers in London at this time.
"A campaign like this sends a strong message to unlawful motorists that uninsured driving will not be tolerated by making enforcement action highly visible. Police roadside enforcement remains a significant threat to offenders and has a massive impact in keeping our roads safe.
"MIB is committed to supporting police forces across the UK and helping them to disrupt criminality on our roads."
Driving without insurance is an offence under the Road Traffic Act. Officers can use powers under Section 163 of the Road Traffic Act to stop vehicles to check whether they are being driven with the correct insurance and driving licence.
According to the Motors Insurers' Bureau uninsured drivers increase other drivers' insurance premiums by £30. They are also five times more likely to be involved in road collisions.
To find out more, or to report dangerous or illegal road users, visit www.met.police.uk/roadsafelondon
It is estimated there are 255,000 uninsured vehicles in London - approx 8.6% of all the cars in the capital. In the UK it is estimated there are 1.2 million uninsured vehicles out of 34 million vehicles.
In 2010 the MPS seized 34,000 vehicles of which 11,000 were destroyed.
According to the Motor Insurers' Bureau:-
· There are about 34 million vehicles on UK roads, of which four per cent are not insured at any one time.
· One in three (34%) of all uninsured drivers are under the age of thirty.
· Research by MIB found that one in ten of 18-34 year-old drivers are unaware that car insurance is a legal requirement.
· The annual cost of uninsured driving - about £500 million - is paid by all honest motorists to a value of about £30 per insurance premium. About 23,000 people are injured and 160 people killed by uninsured and untraced drivers every year.
· Research shows that uninsured drivers are five times more likely to be involved in road collisions, to fail to comply with other road traffic requirements and to be engaged in other criminal activity.
· About 30,000 claims are made to the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) each year for accidents caused by uninsured drivers and those that leave the scene.

Hugh Dancy Makes Us Wanna, Well, Dance – The Daily Swoon
British actor Hugh Dancy is pretty darn swoon-worthy, and we're about to start swooning for him on a weekly basis with his role in the upcoming NBC series 'Hannibal.' (Don't worry, he plays a good guy.)
Imagine if Hugh was your boyfriend — if you're like me, you'd find it super hard to resist saying things like "Hugh Dancy, you so fancy, you make me do a dance in my pants-ies." I said "pants," not "panties," because I am an educated woman with class, clearly.
He probably hates those rhymes because he's all British and proper, and he's married to Claire Danes anyway, so oh well.
You may recognize him from his roles in films like 'Martha Marcy May Marlene,' 'Our Idiot Brother,' 'Ella Enchanted,' or the television show 'The Big C.' Up next, he'll be starring as Special Agent Will Graham on the series 'Hannibal,' which tells the story of renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter as he works with Graham, an FBI agent with the ability to empathize with serial killers. If you've seen any of the Hannibal Lecter movies, you totally know that Dr. Lecter has some surprises in store for this dude.
So now you know a little bit about Mr. Hugh Dancy, and knowing is half the battle. Enjoy!
