Dale is located at 38°10′7″N 86°59′17″W / 38.16861°N 86.98806°W (38.168603, -86.988072).[6]

Notable people[edit]
- Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President, was raised nearby on a farm near what is now Lincoln City. His mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln, died while he was young; her burial site is located on the original farm.
- Florence Henderson, Actress of The Brady Bunch fame was born in Dale.
- J. Clarence Karcher, geophysicist, and inventor of reflection seismograph was born in Dale.
New developments[edit]
The Indiana Department of Transportation, as part of the Major Moves transportation program, in 2011 completed a four-lane, limited access highway bypass that carries U.S. Route 231 around the west side of Dale. The town now has access points at Indiana 62 on the town's south side, Indiana 68 on the west side, and Spencer County Road 2050 North (a new roadway) on the north side.
County Road 2050 North provides access to two hotels, a restaurant, gas station and residences that were formerly accessed from the old interchange of U.S. 231 with Interstate 64. That diamond interchange and overpass were eliminated in favor of a partial-cloverleaf interchange located slightly to the west, necessitating the access road.
The community of Dale is expected to benefit from increased economic development and less traffic through the center of town, where backups at the only traffic signal have become more common in recent years. This causes problems especially during the summer months, when the existing roads are heavily traveled by visitors to nearby Holiday World and Splashin' Safari, Lincoln State Park and the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.

Adventure Pilot iFly 700
Handheld, sectional-chart, moving-map GPS
Like all handheld GPS devices, iFly 700 isn't FAA-certified. Its primary purpose is to enhance a pilot's ability to keep a situational "Big Picture" throughout the flight. As with many leading GPS handhelds, it employs the "gold standard," the same SiRFstarIII GPS chip set that's a key component of units from Garmin and other makers. It can process the signals of all visible GPS and WAAS satellites simultaneously, is very fast and is a real power miser.
A unique feature of the iFly is its lack of mechanical buttons. This is true touch-screen usability, with the same intuitive chops of an Apple iPhone or iPad.
Features...And More Features
The detailed charts display en route information you can easily zoom into or out of, effortlessly transition from one chart to another, and call up flight information, all with a tap or drag of a finger: fun and so easy.
Additional features include USB and MCX (external antenna) ports, an optional external GPS antenna ($18), a graphic display of TFRs, a "Nearest Airport" feature and a complete A/FD database. The operating voltage can range from 12 to 28 volts, for airplanes with 24-volt electrical systems. And there's even a remote control. Why? In heavy turbulence, both button-centric and touch-screen input can be challenging. The handheld remote toggles commonly used features and mostly makes input a nonissue in a punchy cockpit.
Sophisticated and intuitive flight planning is input by touch or on-screen QWERTY keyboard.
Future Watch
Boyd and Strahan make software upgrades on a regular basis. The up-date due as of this writing included Terminal Area Charts and north-up/track-up orientation, oft-requested features from customers. "It's a bit of a shock; I've always been a 'north-up' guy," says Boyd.
Text on the sectional maps will be sideways when in track-up mode, but one touch can instantly toggle the system between track-up and north-up for quick reading.
For those who prefer always-up text, iFly has a "Vector" mode screen with basic GPS-common features such as airspaces and airports, major highways and the course line; and the text displays correctly, whatever the orientation.
ADS-B is another big feature on the upgrade horizon. This new technology uses satellite navigation to let aircraft and ground stations all see each other.
Vertical navigation, terrain warning voice prompts, streamlined IFR flight planning, NMEA serial output (for autopilots, fuel-flow computers and more—experimental aircraft only), simulated analog instruments including CDI (course deviation indicator), and road maps also are on the docket for future upgrades. All feature upgrades are software-enabled and included in the subscription.
The unit comes with a case, suction mount, AC and DC power cords and the remote control. How confident is the company in its product? Adventure Pilot offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee or gives a full refund, including all shipping costs.

10. Taylor Mays S USC Mays will put on a show, we know that for certain, but will anyone care? We know he's fast. We know he's strong. We know he can jump out of the gym. Expectations for Mays' performance are so high that will be almost impossible to live up to the hype. Even if he does, there are enough skeptics out there that it may not help his stock. Unless Al Davis grabs him in the top 10 that is…
9. Jared Odrick DT Penn State For an interior lineman, Odrick is a chiseled athlete. Unlike most tackles, Odrick isn't carrying around too much excess weight; he's 300 pounds of muscle. He should be one of the faster interior linemen in Indy and should also show off some impressive strength. His blend of strength and athleticism make him a perfect fit at defensive end in a 3-4 scheme.
8. Everson Griffen DE USC Griffen is overshadowed by the elite athletes at the defensive end position (Pierre-Paul, Dunlap, Morgan, etc) but he's no stiff. At 6'3″ and roughly 280 pounds, Griffen could open some eyes if he runs in the 4.6 range in the 40. It's tough to call anyone from USC "underrated" but Griffen may be just that. He's more athletic that he gets credit for, and should prove that at the combine.
7. Mike Iupati OG Idaho Iupati may not be the most athletic player in Indy, but his brute strength is sure to catch the eye of scouts. He's already solidified his place in the 1st round, but his performance on the bench press may further improve his stock. Teams that are looking for a power run blocker will keep a close eye on him all week.
6. Dexter McCluster RB/WR Mississippi
All eyes will be on McCluster when he lines up for the 40-yard dash. He's expected to run in the 4.3 range, and it could crack the 4.2 barrier. He'll likely do some drills as a receiver and a running back, giving him ample opportunities to impress teams with his versatility.
5. Aaron Hernandez TE Florida
Hernandez doesn't have the height of an elite tight end (he's only 6'2″) but he may be the most athletic player at the position to enter the draft since Vernon Davis. He has the skills of an over-sized receiver and should be one of the standouts at Indy – especially if Jermaine Gresham and Rob Gronkowski are unable to work out.
4. Austen Lane DE Murray State
A little-known defensive end from Murray State could be the star of the combine. At 6'6″, 267 pounds he clearly has the size to take his game to the next level. What scouts want to see, however, is how he stacks up athletically with the premiere prospects. With an impressive performance, he could skyrocket up the draft boards.
3. Chad Jones S LSU
In any other year we'd be talking about Jones as the premiere athlete at the safety position. He's overshadowed by Taylor Mays, but don't sleep on Jones. He is every bit as physically gifted as Mays and many believe he may be a better all-round football player. If he matches Mays' workout numbers, Jones could make a run at being the second safety off the board.
2. Jared Veldheer OT Hillsdale
Teams are always looking for a sleeper to step up and show he has the athleticism to play left tackle in the pros. This year Jared Veldheer could be the beneficiary of the NFL's obsession with left tackles. Much like Sebastian Vollmer climbed from unknown to 2nd-round pick in 2009, Veldheer could do the same with an impressive workout this week.
1. Jason Pierre-Paul DE South Florida
Last year at this time Pierre-Paul hadn't even set foot on a D-I football field. Now he's a potential top-10 pick. He's as raw as the come, but has the pure athleticism to make scouts drool. He should easily rank among the top defensive linemen in every drill at the combine.

20 August 2004
Number 27/04
BHP Billiton confirms that it has held preliminary discussions with representatives of the state government of Orissa in India about options for its iron ore business. Those discussions were held jointly with the Korean steel-maker POSCO.
While the proposal is in the very early stages of development, concepts presented to the government included the construction of a steel plant and port facility and the development of an iron ore mine.
While any joint proposal, were it to proceed to the next stage, might involve all of these components, BHP Billiton's interest would be limited to the supply of steel-making raw materials and associated materials-handling facilities and infrastructure to the steel industry in Orissa. BHP Billiton emphasises that the discussions have been preliminary only. The proposal has received considerable attention in Orissa because of the impact any development would have on the local economy.

Building inspection
A building inspection is performed by a person who is employed by either a city, township or county and is usually certified in one or more disciplines, either as a residential or commercial building inspector, a plumbing, electrical or mechanical inspector or other specialty to inspect structures at different stages of completion.[1] Most building inspectors employed by governments are certified by the State or the International Code Council (ICC). These inspections are done to assure compliance with whatever building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical or specialty codes, such as swimming pool codes, that are being enforced by the jurisdiction in which they work. There are many categories and levels of ICC certified inspectors.
The term building inspector is sometimes used for persons who inspect houses to assure compliance with the plans and to check workmanship as well as code compliance, or a home inspector consulted in conjunction with a house sale. These building inspectors are private contractors and are not connected with any governmental department or agency.
Consulting engineers often carry out structural building inspections for strata properties where there are structural elements of the building found to be unsafe. Whether it is the balconies, balustrades or cracking due to settlement in the walls, consulting engineers provide building inspections of the property and make the appropriate assessment and provide dilapidation reports followed by proposals for remedial action.
Building inspectors are often contacted by strata managers or body corporate with storm water design issues, structural design proposals or civil design modifications. In addition, individuals are often required by councils to carry out dilapidation reports and building inspections of adjoining properties and associated council properties before and after construction, to establish that no damage has occurred due to the work carried out.
Additional functions of a Building Inspector often include the evaluation of existing structures which have been subjected to physical damage from earthquakes, wind events, floods and fire, as well as investigations involving non-permitted construction. Engineers can also become building inspectors and can perform more in depth inspections which can also be used as an appraisal for lenders and banks.[2]

Bears finalist for Jeremy Mincey, who re-signs with JagsContinue reading.
After near-miss on Mincey, Bears re-sign Israel Idonije
After missing out on free agent defensive end Jeremy Mincey, the Bears re-signed defensive end Israel Idonije to a one-year contract late Thursday. But since it was clear the Bears were seeking an upgrade at the position, the focus of their search for a defensive end now turns to the NFL draft, where Illinois' Whitney Mercilus is expected to be available if the Bears' maintain their 19th pick in the first round.
Idonije, 31, has played in 118 games over the past eight years with the Bears and has started the last two seasons at defensive end opposite Julius Peppers. While he has been an effective overall player in that role, his sack total dropped from eight in 2010 to five in 2011.
The Bears courted Mincey and thought they had him until Mincey re-signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars — a four-year, $20 million deal with $9 million guaranteed.
"It was a good fit [with the Bears]," Mincey told reporters. "Who wouldn't want to play beside Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher? They're a first-class organization. They do things right. They got a lot of good pieces to make it happen."
So why didn't he sign with the Bears?
"The way I see it, why become part of a legacy when you can build your own?" Mincey said. "That was the line that stuck in my head throughout the whole process, and that was one of the key factors for me choosing Jacksonville."
It will be interesting to see if that comes to fruition or if the Jaguars sold him a bill of goods. Mincey, 28, appears to be much closer to becoming the next Israel Idonije than the next Julius Peppers. Like Idonije he had a humble start in the NFL –a sixth-round pick by the New England Patriots who was cut twice, was acquired by the Jaguars off the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad and only recently became an impact player. He had eight sacks for the Jaguars last season, the same as Idonije had in 2010.
Idonije has value to the Bears as a solid all-around player who blocks kicks and is a steadying influence in the locker room. But the Bears' interest in Mincey tipped their hand that they are looking for a better player opposite Peppers. The draft is the next opportunity to see an upgrade.

Evolution of Reading Fluency: A Literature Review
by Chase Young

Reading fluency has manifested itself in various forms and carried fluctuating weight on its remarkable historic journey to present research paradigms. The names have changed, the definition has transformed, and perception of its impact on the reading process has become more focused. Because of these changes, instructional practices have been implemented. Reading fluency's constant presence has allowed researchers to better understand its function in reading education. How has fluency's definition and role changed over the years?
This literature review was conducted using the ERIC database ranging from 1952 to 2005. The search terms used were reading fluency, reading process, oral reading, reading aloud to others, automaticity, and reading rate. Results ranged from 287 to 2,449 articles. The intention was to trace the history of reading fluency from the middle of the last century to present practice. Each resource was evaluated for its part in reading fluency research by its impact on instruction and further research. One source was Oral Reading in the School Program (Hyatt, 1943).
Reading fluency began as elocution instruction for the purpose of pleasing oral discourse. The primary concern was not comprehension, only that the desired elocution was demonstrated. Reading fluency was not aimed at reflecting the control of other important aspects of the reading process (Hyatt, 1943). Oral reading was used frequently prior to the 1900s to entertain, but was neglected in favor of silent reading for half a century. After a long period of oversight, Smith (1952) and her colleagues sought to determine which reading skills required further research. Oral reading, they found, was one of them. This began the negotiations of what would later be known as reading fluency.
In the early 1960s, reading elocution was examined further to determine its impact on other aspects of reading. Researchers studied the significance of voice variation while reading. Oral reading elocution was known in the classroom as intonation. Noting its existence, Goodman (1964) conducted a linguistic study on the cues and miscues of 100 primary school readers; he observed an interesting phenomenon. Natural intonation came from comprehension of the text, and was portrayed through oral reading. Although many processes were in play, stress, pitch, and juncture manifested with meaning. One might suggest through practice and coaching, a student can eventually produce intonation. However, for it to naturally occur, the student must extract meaning from the text. Therefore, comprehension was deemed essential for fluency in the 1960s.
Although intonation is naturally derived from an individual's comprehension (Goodman, 1964), intonation is still highly standardized when reading aloud. Prosody is unwritten, and is derived from a standard method of exposing meaning by voice variation. Therefore, students need a window into the proficient reader's processes regarding the prosodic aspect of reading fluency. Society has created norms for proper pitch, stress, and juncture. As a result, individual interpretation may not affect a reader's intonation. It can, however, systematically report a reader's level of comprehension. Because prosodic reading is standardized, students need to be exposed to good examples of fluent readers. Teacher modeling of prosodic reading helps students internalize the characteristics (Farrell, 1966).
Chomsky (1976) realized the difficult task of teaching reading fluency and understood that reading fluency instruction needed additional methods. Audio recordings were played for five eight-year-old students as they read along in their corre
sponding books. The five students were identified as behind in reading by as much as two years. After four months of repeated readings with audio assistance, students were able to fluently read the previously frustrational texts with adequate oral fluency. Students involved in the study showed increased positive results on their school administered achievement tests, reading subtest (WRAT), Gates-McKillop Diagnostic Test, and assessment of their oral reading speed. Additionally, student confidence and motivation increased. The research created a new path to divergent ways of developing reading fluency. The late 1970s saw an increase in seminal works in reading fluency.
Following Chomsky's (1976) work, repeated readings became a means to develop reading fluency, and remains one of the best ways to increase reading rate and word recognition. At first, the use of repeated readings was largely confined to helping students with learning disabilities. Repeated readings is not a complete literacy program, it was mainstreamed to help students' word recognition automaticity based on research conducted by Samuels (1979). Students involved in the study selected relatively easy passages and repeatedly read them until the desired words per minute (WPM) was achieved. In this case, goals were set between 80 and 90 WPM. Critics believed students graphing their WPM to be a boring task, yet Samuels found students were motivated by the visual representation of their progress.
Samuels asserts, "for the purposes of fluency, speed rather than accuracy should be stressed" (p. 377). The statement was based on the loss of fluency in efforts to obtain 100% word accuracy. Understandably, students striving for perfection in word accuracy are constantly fearful of making mistakes; therefore perfection can act as a hindrance to their WPM goal, thus holding the student back from further readings. The repeated reading method increased reading rate and word recognition—two components of reading fluency. Dowhower (1991) will discuss the increasing neglect of prosody as fluency evolves into the early 1990s.
Parsing sentences into meaningful phrases requires knowledge of prosody. Prosody sounds nice, yet according to Kleiman, Winograd, and Humphrey (1979) has a larger impact than mere eloquence. "…The lack of prosodic information in written language contributes to the difficulty some children have in parsing written sentences" (p. 11). Prosody, although not correlated to fluency in the research, is a device used to help readers parse sentences into meaningful phrases which is a characteristic of a fluent reader.
Kleiman, et al., used 20 above- and 20 below-average readers in the fourth grade to determine the impact of prosody on the parsing of sentences. The "no-prosody" group was given the same passages as the "prosody" group. The "prosody" group received the passage of 48 sentences, and was also read each sentence twice by a professional speaker. The "no-prosody" was offered the same sentences without the oral reading model. The groups were asked to parse (using slash marks) each sentence into meaningful phrases. Though there was no significant performance differences between the above and below average readers, there was a significant difference among the separate groups. The "prosody" group, after listening to the sentences orally, parsed sentences more accurately than the "no-prosody" group. The knowledge of prosodic features was deemed beneficial in identifying meaningful phrases within sentences (Kleiman et al, 1979).
Not only was prosody linked to meaning-making (Kleiman et al, 1979), automatic word recognition was found to impact comprehension (Stanovich, 1980). In a complicated educational dichotomy of top-down and bottom-up approaches, Stanovich finds the middle ground asserting that interactive-compensatory models for reading fluency separate the proficient from the poor readers. Some believe that higher-level processes in reading (top-down) characterize fluent readers; others believe lower-level processes (bottom-up) are superior. The interactive-compensatory model suggests that fluent readers juxtapose between higher and lower level processes. For example, students compensating for deficient orthographic knowledge rely on context clues to indentify unknown words. Depending on the proficiency of compensatory skills, readers lacking automaticity can rely on speed to identify unknown words through context. Stanovich's extensive review of the literature reveals that both rapid context-free word recognition and contextual recognition (i.e. reader expectancy) can aid the development of a fluent reader. This compensatory model could have been a response to the Reading Wars where phonics (bottom-up) and whole language (top-bottom) paradigms were affecting all aspects of reading, including fluency.
Despite increased research, fluency as a goal was still being neglected. From previous research we know fluency consists of word recognition, reading rate, and prosody. After a firm definition was widely accepted, it was time to turn research into practice. We could now assess good fluency, and poor fluency. However, poor fluency was often used only as an indicator of a poor reader. The assessment results failed to drive instruction. More devastatingly, when results were used, the necessary instruction was not delivered. In fact, teachers still regress to phonics instruction when they should be progressing to fluency instruction to help students become more prosodic and faster in their reading (Allington, 1983).
Allington (1983) notes the extensive research on fluency and the findings implying fluency as an essential piece of the reading process; he asks, "Why hasn't oral reading fluency become a major focus of beginning or early remedial instruction?" (p. 556). From what seems like frustration, he uses the research to promote practice.
The goal is to move from word calling to phrasing, thus placing fluency on the far right of the developmental reading continuum. However, some readers do not make this shift. Allington (1983) focuses on classroom experiences only, discussing instructional circumstances to exemplify the development of reading fluency.
Four years later, Dowhower (1987) conducted a study with 89 beginning second graders. Dowhower wanted to know whether assisted or unassisted readings had a more positive effect on reading fluency. This time, however, not only was reading fluency (in this case: word recognition reading rate) measured, but also comprehension.
Dowhower (1987) used a time-series experimental design consisting of two randomly selected training groups. One group repeatedly read with assistance, the other without. The experiment was conducted over seven weeks, and reported that both groups reading rate doubled, reading accuracy increased from 89% to 95%. Comprehension also increased from 66% to 81%. Because there were no significant differences in the groups, repeated readings prevailed as an effective strategy to increase reading fluency regardless of assistance. As fluency increased, so did comprehension. Essentially, Dowhower demonstrated that repeating readings did more help students read fast.
The previous work in fluency had a large impact on remediation, but had difficulty finding its place in mainstream instruction. Rasinski (1989) noted the lack of fluency instruction in the classroom, and attributed it to basal reading programs. Special education teachers may have heeded Allington's (1983), but mandated mainstream curriculum had not. How can teachers teach fluency when their curriculum does not allow for it? So, the 80's ended with Rasinski (1989) empowering teachers to utilize the proven fluency models (Allington, 1983; Dowhower, 1987; Chomsky, 1976; Samuels, 1979), neglect "teacher proof" models, and actively consider ways to incorporate fluency instruction.
The 1990s began much like the 1980s. A neglected aspect of fluency was examined. Because reading fluency had been defined, it was easy to determine which aspects were being neglected. Dowhower (1991) returns, saying prosody is "fluency's neglected bedfellow." Ironically, Dowhower's (1987) previous research did not measure prosody. This may have been because the lack of assessment measures. Reading rate was easily timed, word recognition was a simple computation, but prosody's only measurable characteristic was phrasing (Kleiman, et al.) To correct this, Dowhower (1991) delineated the features of prosodic reading.
Scholars investigating prosody specifically in reading have identified at least six markers related to expressive reading. The following section describe these indicators: (a) presence or lack of pausal intrusions, (b) length of phrases between pauses, (c) number of appropriate and inappropriate phrases, (d) duration of final words of syntactic phrases, (e) the change of pitch at final punctuation marks, and (f) stress or accent. (p. 186)
Prosody, "the neglected bedfellow", may have been so because of its complexity. However, each of the aforementioned markers can be observed in reading behavior. These complex tasks can be taught directly to students through modeling, phrasing and parsing, repeated readings, and audio assisted reading (Dowhower, 1991). At this point in reading fluency history, the definition is sound, the measures are available, and its impact on instruction has been demonstrated.
Fluency is now a well defined instructional necessity. Although the following statement was made by Rasinski (2000) at the dawn of our millennium, it needs to be revisited today. "Speed does matter." Slow readers are often poor readers. The fear of producing a generation of "fast readers" may have been the reason for the original publication, but the fear still remains. There is more to fluency than speed, but speed cannot become the next neglected reading goal.
Slow reading necessarily results in less reading. It is also difficult for a slow reader to comprehend because the rate at which a slow reader moves through a text makes it difficult to hold on to the meaning. Finally, slower readers become more frustrated which lowers motivation. Finally, instruction must aim to create faster, more fluent readers. The fear of losing comprehension, neglecting prosody, ignoring word recognition because of reading rate was evident then and now. Still, reading rate cannot be neglected (Rasinski, 2000).
So far, reading fluency's widely accepted definition is still intact. Although there were times when features were almost forgotten, researchers continued to prevent it from happening. In 2003, Kuhn & Stahl reviewed the developmental and remedial practices in reading fluency. They used Chall's (1996) stages of reading development focusing on the fluency state. According to Chall the fluency stage ranges from late first grade to third grade students. Much of the research implies that fluency instruction is most effective in this stage. They also agree with Stanovich (1980) that reading fluency is more than automaticity in word recognition. This movement beyond word recognition as a sole indicator of reading fluency is also in line with the need for prosody (Dowhower, 1991) and reading speed (Rasinski, 2000).
Although Dowhower (1987) did not find a significant statistical difference in unassisted and assisted repeated readings, there was a small indication that assisted readings increased comprehension more so than unassisted. Kuhn and Stahl (2003) further assert that assisted readings are more effective. The review of fluency research and instruction was in agreement with previous research on the topic. Reading fluency is important, it can be defined and measured, and researched based instruction is working.
How important is reading fluency? According to Hudson, Lane, and Pullen (2005), "Reading fluency is one of the defining characteristics of good readers." Each of the features of fluent reading can be linked to reading proficiency. Reading accuracy is linked to reading proficiency because it encompasses many reading skills. In order to accurately identify words students must utilize visual, semantic, and syntactic cuing systems. Students must have a strong ability to blend phonemes, recognize phonograms, and understand sound-symbol correspondence.
The second link is to reading rate. Reading quickly demonstrates a student's mastery of word recognition displayed by fluid and effortless reading. Students have developed rapid word recognition skills, and apply it to text. Readers move swiftly across the page leaving cognition free for comprehension (Hudson, et al., 2005).
Finally, prosody is linked to proficient reading. Prosodic readers demonstrate an understanding of morphemic, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic systems to read with expression (Hudson, et al., 2005). This expression and intonation is also linked to comprehension (Goodman, 1964). The key player in each of these links is the notion that reading fluency is related to comprehension. The characteristics of reading fluency, effortless word recognition, reading in meaningful phrases, reading at an appropriate rate, and prosodic reading, if done automatically, allow cognition to be focused on comprehending the text (Hudson, et al., 2005).
As an infant, fluency was never named. Many times it was stripped of its acquisitions, questioned, and neglected. After a long battle, fluency's role in reading can only be described as integral. The aspects of fluency can be explicitly instructed, and precisely assessed. Fluency can be used to aid in comprehension, as well as assess it. How has fluency's role in reading education changed? It defines proficient readers, and is incorporated into the balanced literacy program (Rasinski, 2004). Reading fluency is composed of accuracy, word recognition, and prosody; by no amount of neglect can it ever be taken away thanks to the diligence in reading fluency research.

Spain Named to Outland Trophy Watch List
The Football Writers Association of America, today, announced that West Virginia University football redshirt senior offensive lineman Quinton Spain was named to the 2014 Outland Trophy watch list.
The Outland Trophy, named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn at the turn of the 20th century, is presented annually to the national's outstanding collegiate interior lineman. The Outland Trophy winner is chosen from three finalists who are part of the FWAA All-America Team.
The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the entire membership, selects the 26-man first team and eventually the Outland finalists. Committee members, then by individual ballot, select the winner. Only interior linemen on offense or defense are eligible for the award; ends are not eligible
"Quinton has proven that he is one of the best guards in not only the Big 12 but also in the nation," says WVU offensive line coach Ron Crook. "He is a big guy who loves to play physical and works to give us an edge on the offensive line. We expect a big year from him once again."
Spain, a preseason All-America Third Team selection by Athlon Sports, started all 12 games last season for the Mountaineers and 25 straight, most of any lineman. He was named to the 2013 All-Big 12 Conference Third Team by Phil Steele and earned All-Big 12 Conference Honorable Mention honors as voted on by the league's coaches.
The list includes nine representatives from the Big 12 – the third most of any conference. The Southeastern Conference's 19 recognitions were the most of any conference.
The list will be trimmed to six or seven semifinalists on Nov. 20. Four days later the FWAA will name three finalists. The winner of the 69th Outland Trophy will be announced on ESPN on The Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 11 from Disney's Boardwalk in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Worried about the health effects of mobile phones? You may have to wait for a definitive answer, says the US General Accounting Office. Although no studies have proved that radio-frequency signals from mobile phones cause cancer or other ailments, some have raised questions worth investigating. But a new GAO report warns that "it will likely be many more years before a definitive conclusion can be reached." The GAO criticised the Federal Communications Commission for not developing standard test procedures to verify emission limits for cellphones set in 1996, and for having only one specialist to perform in-house radiation tests and analyse company test reports.

List items
1. Portal 2
Comedy is so hard to execute in any medium, especially video games. Valve nailed it in Portal 2 from start to finish. They perfectly built a script, characters, and soundtrack that evoke the tone of the game so well, lonely science in a twisted and wacky world.
2. Saints Row: The Third
3. The Binding of Isaac
ISAAC! ISAAAAAAC! I don't know how many times I heard that phrase from Mom this year, but it was a ton. This was my most played game of the year. (Yes, even more so than Skyrim) This game is just pure joy, which is really strange from a pseudo-rogue like. I never get frustrated when I die, because I'm immediately excited to start up a new game. Edmund McMillen's creepy cartoon style is super evident throughout, and the music from Danny Borowsky is reminiscent of Super Meat Boy but with a darker tone. Perhaps the best part of the game is collecting all the wacky and insane upgrades and watching over the course of a playthrough, your Isaac descend into madness both physically and mentally.
4. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
5. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
6. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
7. Batman: Arkham City
Like many others, I didn't care for the setting in Arkham City as much as its predecessor. The story had more trademark Batman characters jammed into it this time around, but at parts felt a bit disjointed. I also didn't think the ending was that great, and the Catwoman sections were pretty boring. But, the combat is so damn satisfying that it keeps you coming back, and hunting down the Riddler was just as enjoyable this time around.
8. Bastion
9. Gemini Rue
I've never been a huge fan of the point and click adventure style of games, but the art style of this game looked interesting and it was relatively cheap, so I decided to give it a shot. And man, was I glad that I did. Excluding some shoddy voice work in spots, I loved everything about this game. The dystopian setting, the pixel art, the brooding music, and the masterfully executed story. I never saw the twist coming, and as a whole, the story was the best I've seen in a video game since BioShock.

Celebration of Lights has become a significant Hastings event; so much so that readers of the H Word blog selected it as the Hastings Event Bracket Challenge winner.
Now in its 24th year, Celebration of Lights will be 5-8 p.m. Thursday in downtown Hastings. Santa Claus and Kool-Aid Man will flip a switch at 7:15 p.m. to turn on more than 4 miles of white LED lights lining roofs and light poles.
To win the bracket challenge, Celebration of Lights was selected by voters over Downtown Do the Brew, Kool-Aid Days and the Flatwater Music Festival, among other Hastings activities, as the top activity in town. Voting occurred in October.
Jessi Hoeft, director of the Downtown Center Association, pointed out the event has plenty of good company.
"We have fantastic events here in Hastings," she said. "So for it to win out of all of those to be named the favorite is a pretty big deal."
Twenty-four years is a long time. Because it's been around for so long, Hoeft said, Celebration of Lights has become a tradition for a lot of families.
"A lot different people have had kids involved in it or have kids involved with it or were involved in it and now their kids are involved in it," she said. "So, it's just a fun tradition to continue."
New this year, the Dr. Seuss character the Grinch will join the handful of costumed characters who already participate in Celebration of Lights.
The Grinch, who comes to the event by way of Hastings College, will read "The Night Before Christmas" at 5:15 p.m. at The Well Read Book, 706 W. Second St., and at 6:15 p.m. at Prairie Books and Gifts, 641 W. Second St.
"It's just a fun addition," Hoeft said. "He's a well-known Christmas holiday character. So it's a fun thing to incorporate additional costumed characters."
The Grinch will join Santa and Kool-Aid Man on stage for the turning on of the lights.
Also new this year is the Kids' Carnival, sponsored by Central Community College-Hastings, from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Rivoli Theatre, 528 W. Second St. The handful of games there will be geared toward preschool-aged children.
Winners of the three Fall 4 Five downtown Hastings shopping sprees will be announced during Celebration of Lights.
Lighting downtown takes a lot of coordination. Hoeft said the lighting, which is coordinated by Randy Chick, director of the Downtown Business Improvement District, requires a few weeks just to check everything and make sure it is functional and ready.
"Once it happens it's just so pretty," she said. "I enjoy coming downtown after that and just seeing all the lights on the buildings lit up for the next couple months.
"We have a really pretty downtown, especially during that time of year."
With food trucks serving everything from barbecue to fresh doughnuts to walking tacos plus the food available at downtown restaurants, Hoeft said Celebration of Lights attendees should come hungry.
"We're trying to reach out to some different people who might not want to come out for bouncy houses or carriage rides but might be interested in food trucks," she said. "There's a lot of good food that will be served."
Temperatures Thursday night are forecasted to be chilly. The high is expected to be around 30 degrees, Hoeft said.
That comes one day after daytime temperatures are expected to be 65 degrees.
"We missed warm temperatures by one day but the good news is it's supposed to be dry," she said. "Everybody just needs to bundle up. It's a really good time to get out your scarves and hats."
Hoeft said Celebration of Lights, which always takes place the Thursday before Thanksgiving, is a great kickoff for the holiday season.
"It's a good time for the community and family and friends to get together," she said. "It just has a overall really good vibe downtown on that night. I'm excited to see the entertainment happen, and I just really enjoy this event. It's one of those events that I think everybody in Hastings attends."

Tasmania gets Australia's first CCB-certified REDD dealRhett A. Butler, mongabay.com
July 27, 2009
Project will pay landowners not to log old-growth forests in Tasmania
The project, run by Sydney-based Redd Forests, is on 860 hectares of private land in Tasmania. Logging of old-growth forests in Tasmania is increasingly controversial: environmentalists regularly clash—sometimes violently—with forestry companies.
The new project provides an alternative source of income for landowners who have traditionally relied on logging. A statement from Redd Forests explains:
The Redd Forests project... demonstrates the commercial viability of using the carbon market to reward landowners who, traditionally, have logged their land for income. Instead, landowners can now assign those same logging rights to Redd Forests in return for a percentage of the proceeds of sale of the resulting carbon credits. These credits are generated by Redd Forests 'locking up' the land for a period of 25 or more years thus avoiding the release of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from logging and land clearing practices. In return the landowner commits to manage the land and promote the natural regeneration and growth of their native and old growth forests.

"The landowner can secure a healthy income for protecting rather than degrading his forest land, the emissions of greenhouse gas are avoided, and buyers of the carbon credits can take comfort that they have protected high conservation value land for a generation at least."
Redd Forests will now seek to expand the program in other tracts of threatened forest land.
"The goal is to protect half a million hectares across Australia within the next 5 years," said Dickey.
Recent biomass surveys have found that some old-growth forests in Tasmania store more than 650 tons of carbon per hectare, exceeding the amount of carbon stored in the vegetation of most tropical rainforests. Plantations established in place of old-growth forests after clearing store considerable less carbon.
Correction: the original title of this article, "Tasmania gets Australia's first REDD deal", has been corrected. Carbon Conservation signed a REDD-deal with Rio Tinto in 2007.

Editorial: "Stealthy virus presents unique public health challenge"
MOST of us could gain extra years of life by ridding ourselves of a virus we don't even realise we are carrying - if new efforts to tackle the stealthy parasite bear fruit.
Between 50 and 80 per cent of people living in the UK, US and Australia are infected by cytomegalovirus, or CMV - a herpes virus closely related to the one that causes chickenpox. In some African countries, the figure is thought to be even higher.
CMV can lead to brain damage and hearing loss in newborns, but was long assumed to be harmless in healthy adults, says Allison Aiello, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "Then HIV came along."
When people are infected with CMV and HIV, they can develop all sorts of nasty complications, such as CMV retinitis, which causes blindness. ...

My Laundry Question
Cleaning Sheepskin Uggs
Share a Little Background Info
While I was at the supermarket, a customer decided the SMELL bleach and accidently spilled the bleach, which then splattered onto my black ugg boots. The boots are fairly new and I would hate to have to get rid of them. Although the boots have splattered stains, the stains are a very dark red on them. Could I have the boots dyed without ruining them?
Lessons Learned
- I've never dyed anything in the past and I am afraid to do same.
Mary Marlowe Leverette, About.com Laundry & Laundry Rooms, says:
How terrible! You are very lucky that the chlorine bleach did not eat all the way through the sheepskin. The boots can be dyed black to cover the stains. However, you must take them to a professional shoe shop or dry cleaner who specializes in leather to have the leather dyed. Do not try to do it at home. Hope you find a good one.
Good luck!

Journal of Peace Research is an interdisciplinary and international peer-reviewed bimonthly journal of scholarly work in peace research. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Journal of Peace Research (JPR) is at the forefront of serious academic research in conflict studies. One cannot claim to be a serious researcher in this field without reading JPR, with its articles on various subjects, using different approaches and methodologies. Of special interest are the special issues that focus on a particular theme; over the years several issues have been of great importance." S. Mansoob Murshed, Institute of Social Studies, The Hague
"Journal of Peace Research has established itself as one of the major forums for the ongoing debates about peace and security. It is proud of its positivist tradition, but also open to other approaches." Barry Buzan, London School of Economics, UK
"For several years JPR has published a creative mix of theoretical, empirical, and policy articles on peace and conflict research. I scan each new issue more carefully than any other journal I receive" Ted Robert Gurr, University of Maryland and Former President, International Studies Association
The Nils Petter Gleditsch JPR Article of the Year Award, 2013, went to Anja Shortland, Katerina Christopoulou, and Charalampos Makatsoris for their article 'War and famine, peace and light? The economic dynamics of conflict in Somalia 1993-2009'

DescriptionBoasting some of the warmest waters in the state and a mild winter climate, Quail Creek Reservoir lures boaters and anglers year-round. Spend a day on the water or visit a nearby state or national park, then retire to a campsite in a spectacular red rock desert setting.
Quail Creek reservoir was completed in 1985 to provide irrigation and culinary water to the St. George area. Most of the water in the reservoir does not come from Quail Creek, but is diverted from the Virgin River and transported through a buried pipeline. Two dams form the reservoir. The main dam is an earthfill embankment dam. The south dam is a roller compacted concrete dam, constructed to replace the original earthfill dam that failed in the early hours of New Year's Day 1989. The maximum depth of Quail Creek can reach 120 feet, so it is cold enough to sustain the stocked rainbow trout, bullhead catfish, and crappie. Largemouth bass, which are also stocked, and bluegill thrive in the warmer, upper layers of the reservoir.
Quail Creek State Park provides excellent year-round camping, picnicking, boating, and trout and bass fishing in sunny southwest Utah.
The campground has beautiful views of southern Utah's famous red rock country.
Nearby Attractions:
The park is located en route to Zion National Park.

"Ferocious" Darryll Williams beats Danny Brown to remain unbeaten
- Written by Jack Preston
Talk Boxing with fight fans at the KO Boxing Forum.
Darryll Williams maintained his unbeaten record with a points victory against Danny Brown on Saturday - but believes that he could have done better.
The super middleweight lived up to his 'ferocious' tag and landed an impressive combination of body-shots to down his opponent in the second round before continuing to claim his seventh successive win.
However Williams believes that he let his frustration get the better of him after entering the ring above his targeted weight.
'I let my anger get the better of me.' He said.
'I'm very self-critical and I know that I could have done better. I know I'm still young and early into my career, but the standards I set myself are far beyond what I showed on Saturday night.
'Of course I'm pleased to get the win and be able to give that to everyone who's supported me. But I don't kill myself in training to just 'get through' fights. I'm a powerful and vicious puncher, and I always go for the knock-out.
'Danny had only been KO'd three times out of his 21 fights, and I managed to get him down in the second round. If I hadn't lost my focus, I've no doubt that I would have got him out of there a lot sooner.
'Everyone else seemed to like the fight, though, and I managed to put together some good head and body moves.
'But I know I can do better.'
The Forest Hill boxer had marked the night as his return to action following a year out with ligament damage to his right hand.
The win on Mickey Helliet's 'Final Frontier' card, in front of four-time world champion Ricky Hatton who was watching on from ringside, brings Williams' record to 7(1)-0-0 in the professional ranks.
Despite believing that he could have done better, Williams was pleased to have made the step-up and gain victory against the experienced southpaw, and claims that Brown was his strongest opponent yet.
He added: 'I'm pleased to be back and competing at this level.
'Danny has been my toughest opponent yet. He tried to make it awkward for me, but I trained well for it and caught him with some good combinations.
'You only have to look at his record of who he's fought - he hasn't had it easy.
'We had a joke after the fight, but he's a good guy and he gave me a great fight.
'I'm now keen to get back in the gym and begin training for my next fight. I'll be looking to step it up another level again and continue to push myself.
'A title challenge isn't too far away.'

I looked around the World Meeting table as Gilbert stroked me. Of course I would tell him to stop but this time I just shrugged it off.
Alfred and Arthur were fighting. They're obviously gay lovers. I ship them so much.
I looked over at Ludwig and Feliciano. I ship them too. Feliciano was playing with Ludwigs hand.
I heard someone yell. It was Romano. Antonio brought in a turtle again. Romano was yelling at him about it. I ship them too.
I noticed Alfred kiss Arthur. Everyone gasped, except me. OTP moment.
I have a ship wall. They're on it. So is Berwald and Tino. And every other ship. I regret nothing.
I even ship me and Gilbert. I love him. I would say something, but I can't. I wish I could, but sadly...
I am a potato.
