The Faculty and Staff of Talihina Public Schools wishes everyone Happy Holidays.
Editor's note — This is the second of a two-part series previewing the Poteau High School basketball teams.
Last season, the Poteau Lady Pirates basketball team was the Cinderella story of the 2012 LeFlore County high school basketball playoffs. After ending the regular season at 5-18 last season, the Lady Pirates won three of five playoff games, won the Class 4A District Tournament, were consolation champions at the regional tournament and got to within three wins of the state tournament.
The Spiro Bulldogs will begin clawing their way to basketball wins Tuesday night when they open their 2012-13 season at Eufaula for an 8 p.m. game.
The Bulldogs were 18-9 last season, and return two starters from last year — junior guard Knifeis Carter (16 points, four rebounds a game last season) and senior guard Jermaine Jimmerson (11 points, eight rebounds).
Carter is among the top 100 players to watch this high school season in the state of Oklahoma in the Vype Oklahoma Basketball Preview magazine.
TISHOMINGO — A decisive 18-6 run to begin the second half proved to be the difference for the Murray State College Lady Aggies in their 64-46 win over the Carl Albert State College Lady Vikings on Thursday night at Gene Robbins Arena.
Despite having three players score 10 points each, it wasn't enough for the Carl Albert State College Vikings in their 53-48 loss to the Murray State College Aggies in the second game of the night.
WHITESBORO — The Whitesboro High School basketball teams will enter next week's Eastern Oklahoma State College Classic, which will take place at both EOSC's Claud C. Dunlap Fieldhouse and the Wilburton High School Gymnasium, on high notes.
The Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs posted home wins over Indianola on Thursday night. The 'Dogs routed the Warriors 85-46, which came on the heels of the Lady Bulldogs' 65-41 victory over the Lady Warriors.
WILBURTON — The high school basketball season got started for the Panama teams Thursday night, but in the end both squads suffered heartbreaking losses.
A fourth-quarter spurt where Wilburton scored quickly and Panama had a momentary defensive lapse allowed the Lady Diggers to prevail 47-39 over the Lady Razorbacks.
It was much the same for the Hogs as they had a two-point lead with three minutes left, only to see the Diggers end the game with a run to snatch a 46-42 win away from the Razorbacks.

Ngāti Raukawa
|Ngāti Raukawa
|Iwi of New Zealand
|Rohe (location)
|Waikato, Taupo and Manawatū/Horowhenua
|Waka (canoe)
Ngāti Raukawa is a Māori iwi with traditional bases in the Waikato, Taupo and Manawatū/Horowhenua regions of New Zealand. In 2006, 29,418 Māori registered their affiliation with Ngāti Raukawa.[1]
Early history[edit]
Ngāti Raukawa recognise Raukawa as their eponymous ancestor, who was descended from the settlers of the Tainui canoe. One of his descendants was Maniapoto, ancestor of the Ngāti Maniapoto iwi. Ngati Raukawa established their ancestral homeland in the Waikato region.
Southwards migration[edit]
In the early 19th century, significant numbers of Ngāti Raukawa were forced south during the Musket Wars. Led by Te Whatanui and other chiefs, they joined Ngāti Toarangatira in a southwards migration through the North Island, which proceeded in three stages. Land was taken from Rangitīkei to Kāpiti, where a large number of pā were built and subtribes established. This brought the new settlers into conflicts with established tangata whenua in the southern parts of the North Island.
The 20th century saw Ngāti Raukawa undergo great change. After World War II, many Ngāti Raukawa left their traditional lands and migrated to cities. Starting in 1975, a determined effort was made to revitalise traditional language and establishments.
Ngāti Raukawa have established a large number of marae and other institutions, including Raukawa Marae and Te Wānanga o Raukawa, a centre for higher learning. Administrative organisations include the Raukawa Trust Board and Te Rūnanga o Raukawa.

Snyder's of Hanover

#3535 May 16, 2013
Again, I've already had a meeting that was pretty much useless. This one is next month regarding our settlements. If anyone has one about this topic feel free to share. I will when mine comes.
#3536 May 16, 2013
Even if invited I wouldn't go to the meeting unless I felt there was iminent change on the horizon. I, like most of you, do not trust Snyder's and I haven't for many years. I recall nothing in all my years that really benefitted me, the route saleperson. It always benefitted them. I seriously doubt they will change. A leopard does not change its spots.
#3537 May 16, 2013
Understanding how to read the settlement statement will teach you how to get paid, again nothing to do with sales growth.
#3538 May 16, 2013
My dealings with SL has always been honest and straight forward, they supply the product you must manage to be profitable. It is straight forward, you don't control inventory, your income is tied up in inventory.
#3539 May 16, 2013
#3540 May 16, 2013
UNLESS you manage your inventory and understand your settlement statements.
#3541 May 16, 2013
They did spent a lot of time on HOW to read settlements...as if we are morons and can't figure it out..it's all smoke and mirrors boys...plain and simple. They gloss it over with fake sympathy for the IBO's . When it came to covering 100% of the PA's they shut it right down. A complete waste of time!!!
#3542 May 16, 2013
Problem is this...none of the management team that attended the meeting were never route people. It's very easy to sit there and tell us how good we have when they have absolutely no clue how tough it is out on the field. Walking in a store and looking at a shelf does not make you an expert! I would love to switch positions with them for 6 months...I would bet they could not deal with not only the financial aspects of running your business but also the physical part.
#3543 May 16, 2013
industry low comission is the problem .... It's not rocket science you buy 5,000 and sell 4,500 you don't get paid
#3544 May 16, 2013
#3545 May 16, 2013
Once again not a sales driven model.
#3546 May 17, 2013
The best statement we can make is NOT showing up to any meetings. Mgmt gets hard ons when the meetings are full. When IBO's don't show up that's when mgmt gets furious. They will tell you that meetings are mandatory. Let them show you in the contract where it says that. Nowhere. They just love to hear themselves talk and speak nonsense. How IBO's are the foundation of any company, but yet they don't do a thing to help with any financial situation.
In Foxboro, MA IBO's had meetings where only 12 people out of 30 showed up with coporate there. No words necessary with the disappointment from coporate to mgmt. Make a statement by not going. Guarantee you get mgmt's attention then.
Past repeats the future. All the meetings are for mgmt to spew all about the growth, the new products that come out (which there's paper form to read about), and how for you, the IBO, to push and make more money. SSDD: same s***, different day. Why waste your time, and money? Ooooh, they might buy you pizza..........
#3547 May 17, 2013
Changes are coming
#3548 May 17, 2013
what's your source of this knowledge? My source is zone level
#3549 May 17, 2013
I totally agree with you. We had meeting here and many of us never showed up. The times were condusive to us. It was during loading times or earlier. It's because they have an itinerary and that's all. They always say they will open up to questions right> When all the concerns are asked, they can't answer. They give you the "we'll get back to you" routine. Which we all know they don't and it's all forgotten. Time to push back IBO's. For all you IBO's that think things will change for the better? You got sold, just like your moneymaking route. Band together and make a statement. It might take awhile, but if you can get underneath their skin it's a great feeling. S-L made it us vs them attitude.
#3550 May 17, 2013
Nothing will change unless it benefits S-L . They will tell you that you signed the contract so to bad for you! That us basically what we were told at the " round table meeting" ! When the question of getting 100 % of the PA's back that is when they said to read the contract that you signed. Another words " stick it up your ass"
#3551 May 18, 2013
Rouind table meeting with Marty Stantin July Is when the changes
#3552 May 18, 2013
Changes?? The only changes will be to nickel and dime the IBO's more then they do now
#3553 May 18, 2013
You really are having pipe dreams. If you think there will be positive changes, you are sadly mistaken my friend. I have been through one of those round table meetings. Nothing but blowing smoke up our ass.
#3554 May 18, 2013
Maybe maybe not, my source is different from his source and from two different zone level people in two different zones.

Anyway, this album's merits are as follows: a)It's only 31 minutes long. Music-wise, it's pretty much identical to the rest of the group's recent output (not to mention hundreds of other identical acts), with lots of "whoa-oh" group vocals, mid-tempo peppiness and zooming guitar chords. There's even a fast "hardcore" song, like punk groups who've softened their sound over the years always include, pandering to morons gullible enough to fall for the token gesture. It's all so fucking generic. If Anti-Flag weren't already such a standard-issue moniker, the group could embrace the name Punk Band and slap a stenciled logo on a stark white backdrop. It already churns out Brand-X titles such as "Equality Song" and "Protest Song."
Lyrically, Anti-Flag occasionally saves room for cliches of a non-political variety, such as when the group repeats "this is the first night of the rest of our lives" during one of those nostalgic "remember when we stayed up all night listening to the Clash and falling in love with music" songs shitty Warped Tour bands can't resist. Tony Soprano said "'remember when' is the lowest form of conversation," but I'm sure Anti-Flag can sink even lower on future releases:
Drummer Pat Thetic says "autographs separate, stick together!" Commendable words, especially given the truly piteous nature of coveting a signature that reads "Pat Thetic." But while Anti-Flag discourages some forms of hero worship, it also curates a MySpace gallery for idiots who have gotten tattoos of the group's logo and lyrics.
I can't even tell what fucking part of the body this is. Maybe that purple mold spore is its belly button, which would mean the design has been rendered sideways across an enormous belly. Whenever people discuss TV shows, she can skip the smug "I don't even own a television" and wow them with this radical message, after some initial awkwardness while she pauses the conversation to lay on the ground and pull up her shirt.
Observe the framed picture of the sparkly Twilight vampire. Someday she'll discard that particular monument to retarded fandom, but the tattoo won't be so easy to erase. With the band's name written hyphen-free and bookended by dragons, it looks like an homage to some fantasy character named "Antiflag."

The line these clowns wanted to immortalize is: "Bullets can't silence ideas." Great job -- you took a monumentally ill-advised decision and managed to compound the wrongness by hiring someone who fucked up the execution.
Anti-Flag combines kids' music with a Kids News take on politics. It's impossible not to outgrow these guys by your twenties, unless you're facing serious intellectual stultification. Yet these people will be branded with indelible proof of their taste-impaired youth long after they start cringing at phrases like "War sucks, let's party." Maybe the abject shame will eventually inspire them to get the word "Fuck" permanently inked right in front of the band's name.

From the Article:
Michael Douglas will star as Hank Pym, who first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27, and joins director Edgar Wright, with Paul Rudd starring as Scott Lang in Marvel's 'Ant-Man,' on July 31, 2015.
"With Hank Pym's rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves," said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step into the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn't be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life."

"I am so happy with the way my cards turned out. I did not want to put a logo or photo on the back of the card so Customer Service walked me thru the process to request additional text on the back side of the card. Arrived very quickly. Thanks so much!"
"I was pleasantly surprised with my new cards.The front is very eye catching, the paper quality/feel is professional...not cheap feeling, and I just love the fact that they're different! The only disappointment is that I would have liked the information on the back to be a little "brighter" (whiter, perhaps?) to make it easier to read due to the small text. I'm very happy that I went with this card!"
"we love this card. have re ordered multiple times. we use it on our honey from our honey bee's. you won't be sorry. great customer service when I've had a question."
"I'm getting lots of positive responses when I give my new business cards out to people. Card quality is really nice, I like the thickness. I highly recommend the white printing, it shows up nice and is easy to read. Make sure to do a bold thick font on the back! Tiny Prints says how it looks on the computer screen is how it will look printed and that's accurate. Their customer service is excellent. Delivery is very quick. Highly recommend these cards and this company!"
"I love these business cards! They turned out so great! The colours are beautiful and the fonts are perfect. I'm especially impressed by the paper quality- nice and thick and high-end. I've gotten lots of comments from clients that they love them, too! I'll definitely reorder when I run out!"

Big Spectrum Analyzer with Arduino
Let's put together a pixel strip with an HL1606, an Arduino UNO and the Spectrum Shield to build a seven bands "large" Spectrum Analyzer of simple construction.
The components
The Strip used uses the HL1606 controller to allow direct management of each of the LEDs. The chip runs two RGB groups and has 4-pin for input/output. The serial communication protocol allows input to output passage whenever the chip receives new data. Data move from one module to another thanks to a clock provided on the control line. Every strip can be composed of a variable number of modules up to a theoretical maximum determined only by the speed with which we want to change the LEDs status.
Each chip continues in the pass through without displaying received data, until the latch pin (L-s) status changes . Then it writes the value from it's communication registry in registry piloting the six channels.
For the HL1606, data is a bitmap (a one byte word for each RGB LEDS) corresponding to each of the three LEDs, managed according to a truth table having two bits for each LED. The chip does not have autonomous blending management (PWM), but it uses a SI line to give the automatic blending frequency, which is available as a stand-alone function.
The second key component of this project is a MSGEQ7 chip. The chip is designed for seven-band equalizers, for displaying the peak level of each of the bands. With just eight pins it has a "clever" mechanism: this chip offers, on a single pin, a voltage level that is equal to the peak level of one of the seven frequencies managed.
The transition from one frequency to another is managed via a strobe pin, which increments a multiplexer including all seven Bandpass Filters with peak detectors.
Basically, on the same pin on can be read a sequence the seven peak levels for the seven bands centered on 63, 160, 400, 1,000, 2,500, 6,250 and 16,000 Hz.
If we add an Arduino UNO, we have everything we need to read the seven values on different frequency bands, and create a representation of the same on a series of bars, in fact our giant Spectrum analyzer.
Creating seven bands without cutting the led strip
The flexible nature of the strip we've chosen allows us to model it as we prefer: in our case, we get seven bands bars simply by folding the strip to form a coil. Between a bar and the other we'll leave three LEDs (to avoid excessive stress on the Strip).
The height of the bar depends on the total length; firmware adjusts it, using only the LEDs needed. In our case we are using a standard 5 meters strip and 160 LED: we will therefore have six curves by three LEDs (18 LEDs are not used) to have seven 20 LED bars each. Two diodes remain unused at the end of the Strip, that is considered in counts.
With this arrangement, even bars work in a verse and odd ones in another: this is managed by the firmware.
The Spectrum Shield
The peculiar MSGEQ7 chip has attracted the attention of several companies. Bliptronics and Sparkfun, have therefore carried out a Spectrum Shield: a shield for Arduino, mounting two chips and two stereo jacks: one for receiving the input signal and another for the pass through output.
The two MSGEQ7 handle the stereo signal channels, read from the analog A0 and A1 pin by the Arduino. The Reset and the Strobe of MSGEQ7 are, respectively, connected to D5 and D4 of Arduino.
The shield has a button to reset the Arduino connected through lateral connectors, while a large Breadboard area allows you to add any accessory components.
You don't need a library specific for this shield: acting on Reset and Strobe you have the sequence of levels on Arduino analog inputs in an endless loop. A cycle that feeds a seven values vector you can then pass the data to the graphic representation.
How to handle the Strip
To represent the light bars on the strip, we use a ready-made specific HL1606 library. This library can manage a strip of arbitrary length, giving you control over the single LED. For performance reasons, the simplest version does not handle the PWM for the blending, restricting the feature to seven representable colors.
In addition to this library, the code requires SPI features handled by the standard "wire" library that will also set in includes.
From an electrical point of view, the Strip needs a 5 V power supply with a current of approx. 2 A, which must be taken from an external power supply. Arduino 5 V are not enough.
Of the other four signals coming from the strip, just DI, LI and CI , and interesting for us. You'll find explanations regarding the use of the S signal in the box on the previous pages. The connections to the Arduino i/o for these three pin are the following: D = D11; L = D12; C = D13.
The Spectrum Shield connects to the following lines of Arduino: Reset = D5; Strobe = D4; Left = A0; Right = A1.

Our sketch consists of the classic parts: includes for libraries, initialization, setup and loop.
The initialization part loads the HL1606 library and the wire standard library. Then defines the connection pins for the strip and the Spectrum Shield.
The software manages the spacing between the bars and their length parametrically (3 and 20 for us). Always parametric is bars color, divided into three parts, with color and length are managed by many parameters. As happens in commercial spectrum analyzers, even our can have the sliding dot indication or variable length bar.
In setup we initialize the serial port, the two control pins of the Spectrum shield are defined as outputs and the Strobe/Reset sequence is performed to bring the chip at the beginning of the reading sequence. The main loop consists of a series of functions where first the spectrum is shown, then the next seven values are read, the reads are compared to the available led number and LEDS status is put in memory. Finally everything is turn off before the next loop start.

This is awesome! Thank you for taking the time to put together the build-page.
Is it possible to this project but with individual leds?
If they use the same chip, yes

MIAMI - AUGUST 14: Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall of the Miami Dolphins warms up prior to playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a preseason game at Sun Life Stadium on August 14, 2010 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Marc Serota/Getty Images)
Free agency is still seconds away from beginning, and yet we've already been dealt the first major move. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have traded receiver Brandon Marshall to the Bears, where he'll reunite with quarterback Jay Cutler. The Fins received two third-round picks -- one in 2012, the other in 2013 -- in exchange for the mercurial wideout. Chicago's new GM, Phil Emery, pulled off a much-needed deal, finally giving Cutler a playmaking threat after years of mediocre talent at the position.

Were we to go to such cryopreservation facilities where the frozen human embryos are preserved, we would be confronted with a veritable man-made limbo. Thousands upon thousands of human embryos--live human souls trapped in their tiny frozen "body"--whose natural development has been suspended. One count has these poor frozen souls numbered at almost 400,000 in the United States alone. We confront a moral quandary before these tiny frozen humans: we do not clearly know what we can do with them.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/12/2012 (2 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: in vitro fertilization, frozen embryos, limbo, IVF, Gospel of life, dignity of life, embryonic persons, Andrew Greenwell
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - St. Thomas Aquinas taught that no innocent person would ever be placed in a position where he has to select between two wrongs so as to be forced to choose between evils. In other words, the innocent agent would never be perplexed by a moral dilemma. Any moral dilemmas confronted by an innocent could be shown to be only apparent. God would not place the innocent in such a situation.
However, this was not St. Thomas's view when it came to a wrongdoer. St. Thomas believed that a wrongdoer was not necessarily assured that he would not find himself in a moral dilemma. While in most cases a wrongdoer could escape those moral dilemmas caused by his prior wrongful acts, it was possible that, in a certain case, like a careless painter he could paint himself into a moral corner by his own prior acts.
If the wrongdoer faced such a moral dilemma, however he acted he would be condemned to sin. He would confront a Hobson's choice where neither option was good. He would therefore find himself morally perplexed. If he wanted to do good, he could not act. But not acting would not resolve the problem.
Modern man has put himself in what may be an irresolvable dilemma, one which even perplexes the Church.
With his technical prowess through his hubris morally unchecked, modern man has sinned against human life and the moral law that governs the procreative process. Instead of a "great 'yes' to human life," he has expressed a great 'no' to human life. He has murdered hundreds millions perhaps even a billions of his kind through direct abortion and the "contraceptive" techniques that are in fact abortions.
Modern man rejects the notion: "The Lord puts to death and gives life." (1 Sam. 2:6). For him it is man who puts to death when and how he wills. His instruments of killing have gotten small indeed, so that they reach the tiniest humans, violating them or poisoning them or their natural environment. Our mother's wombs have become killing fields.
Additionally, in engaging in all sorts of artificial conception techniques, specifically, those associated with in vitro fertilization, man has also dabbled in the black technical arts of "illegitimate spawning" to borrow words from Seamus Heaney's poem "Limbo."
Again, modern man rejects the notion: "The Lord puts to death and gives life." (1 Sam. 2:6). For him it is also man who gives life.
It is these latter sins that may have put modern man in an irresolvable moral dilemma. He may have painted himself into a moral corner. And in so doing he may have manufactured an artificial limbo where he has condemned hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of his kind.
The ordinary in vitro fertilization techniques require the production of a number of human embryos; many more embryos are produced than will eventually be born. Some of these embryos are frozen in liquid nitrogen--placed in cryopreservation--for future use in the event those embryos that are used do not successful result in the birth of a child.
The Church addresses the moral problems associated with in vitro fertilization in the instruction Dignitatis personae. For a variety of reasons, these techniques are found wanting because they violate the union between procreation and the conjugal act. Moreover, they offend against the dignity of the embryo.
The Church teaches that the "human embryo has . . . the dignity proper to a person." DP, 6. As a consequence, such cryopreservation "is incompatible with the respect owed to human embryos." DP, 18. Moreover, it is foreseeable that many of these embryos do not survive the process of initial freezing or the process of thawing once frozen.
Some, however, do survive the thawing process. And these are used in the medical procedures which, if effective, lead to the birth of a child. Once the couple's desires have been satisfied, however, there are often a great number of these embryos that remain in suspended animation while they are in cryopreservation. Like the fishermen at Ballyshannon in Seamus Heany's poem "Limbo," our moral nets have captured an "illegitimate spawning," small ones "thrown back to the waters," frozen waters to be sure.
The Church observes: "The majority of embryos that are not used remain 'orphans.' Their parents do not ask for them and at times all trace of the parents is lost. That is why there are thousands upon thousands of frozen embryos in almost all countries where in vitro fertilization takes place." DP, 18.
Like the mother intent on infanticide in Seamus Heany's poem, those scientists and physicians as well as patients who participate in this mockery of procreation stand in moral shallows, ducking the issue. Their souls, like the wrists of the murderess in Heaney's poem, are "dead as the gravel." Their consciences have been torn open, rendered raw, as if a "minnow with hooks"--a fishing lure full of hooks--had been forcibly yanked out of the tender flesh of a woman's birth canal.
Were we to go to such cryopreservation facilities, we would be confronted with a veritable man-made limbo. Thousands upon thousands of human embryos--live human souls trapped in their tiny frozen "body" in strange-looking vats--whose natural development has been suspended. One count has these poor frozen souls numbered at 396,526 in the United States alone.
Modern man is not only acting as though he is the lord of life and death. Modern man has now claimed the space between life and death. He has said: "Now limbo will be a cold glitter of souls," packed in liquid nitrogen.
What can be done with the "cold glitter of souls"? The question presents a moral quandary.
Modern man finds himself in this quandary because he has done this even while "under the sign of the cross." Modern man has spurned the teachings of the Church, has spurned the natural moral law. His technological prowess will not be limited by the "inconvenience" of ethics. And it may be that, as a result of his hubris, modern man has painted himself into a moral corner.
The Church herself has asked the question: "With regard to the large number of frozen embryos already in existence the question becomes: what to do with them? Some of those who pose this question do not grasp its ethical nature, motivated as they are by laws in some countries that require cryopreservation centers to empty their storage tanks periodically. Others, however, are aware that a grave injustice has been perpetrated and wonder how best to respond to the duty of resolving it." DP, 19.
Due the respect due to persons, these embryos cannot be allowed to die. They cannot be used for research. They cannot be used as a treatment for infertility. These are all clearly immoral options. Some have suggested a form of "prenatal adoption" as the means out of the moral dilemma. While this last proposal is "praiseworthy with regard to the intention of respecting and defending human life," it still suffers from moral problems that plague the clearly immoral options, though here, the Church's condemnation seems a little softer perhaps in the hope of arriving at some future answer. DP, 19.
But at this time, the Church is perplexed. "All things considered, it needs to be recognized that the thousands of abandoned embryos represent a situation of injustice which in fact cannot be resolved." DP, 19.
The Church cannot give guidance to modern man who has irresponsibly placed himself in a moral quandary. Her theologians are working on it, but so far no clear solution has been found.
With respect to the thousands and thousands of frozen embryos, the Church seems as yet to have found no way out of modern mankind for its sins. By its prior sins, modern mankind has put itself in a moral dilemma. It is wrong to keep these embryos a permanent cryogenic state. It is appears wrong in any manner to dispose of them.
We have put some of our own kind in limbo. A man-made limbo. And with reckless disregard of the rights and dignity of the embryo, we keep condemning more of our kind in the frozen chambers, frozen chambers like a sort of Dantean hell where--can it be so?--
Even Christ's palms, unhealed,
Smart and cannot fish there.
