EAST BEND - The Lady Falcons let their first victory of the season slip through their fingers.
Leading 22-12 at halftime and tied 29-29 going to the fourth, Forbush was unable to seal the win as Ashe County pulled out the hard-fought 35-33 victory Friday night in East Bend.
The Lady Falcons grabbed a 7-4 lead after one quarter of play before outscoring the Huskies 12-4 in the second to take a seemingly comfortable 10-point lead in the locker room.
But Ashe battled back and poured in 17 points in the third to knot the game at 29-29 heading to final frame.
In a low-scoring fourth quarter, the Huskies took a 35-33 lead with less than a minute and a half remaining. Missed free throws allowed Forbush the chance to win the game at the buzzer, but the Falcons never got off a final shot, falling in a heart-breaker.
Savannah Hill led the way offensively with nine points, while Brittany Moose and Jessica Funk added six points apiece.
Forbush dropped to 0-6 on the season and 0-2 in the Mountain Valley Conference.
The Lady Falcons return to the court with two conference games this week still searching for their first win. Forbush travels to North Wilkes Tuesday night before heading to West Wilkes Friday night.

TUF: Canada in the works for 2013 - MMA Fighting
Canadian version of The Ultimate Fighter is in the works, and could possibly be launched by the end of this year, according to UFC president Dana White, who offered up the information during a UFC 158 press conference in Montreal on Wednesday.
"We're working on that," he said.
Depending on the timing, it would become either the third or fourth international edition of the franchise, which was started on American television in 2005.
So far, the UFC has successfully launched a version in Brazil, which is soon to enter its second season, as well as one in Australia, which featured an Aussie team competing against a British team.
The UFC has also previously announced its intention to do a version in India.
Canada has proven to be one of the UFC's most lucrative markets as well as one rich with talent. The North American country housed the richest event in UFC history -- UFC 129 -- which drew 55,724 fans and a $12 million gate back in April 2011.

Monday, April 28, 2014
Local businessman Chalmers Hammet was arrested Friday night after he and Kingstree Town Manager Dan Wells had words. The April 25, incident occurred at the Railroad Auction in Kingstree.
According to a Kingstree Police Dept. Incident Report the men exchanged words after Wells spoke to Hammet as he entered the business. According to the report, Wells told law enforcement during their brief conversation Hammet stated he had something for him (Wells). Wells said Hammet then looked down at his right side and made a hand gesture in the shape of a gun and said he was going to give it to him real soon. Wells also stated to police that he was afraid for his life.
When police arrived, Hammet confirmed he had seen Wells and that Wells had spoken to him according to the report. However, Hammet disputed Wells claims, saying he only said he would get him legally. Hammet was arrested and charged with threatening the life of a public official and taken to the Williamsburg County Sheriffs Detention Center.
The News attempted to contact Hammet, but as of press time, was unsuccessful.

Zero Dark Thirty. I enjoyed it and thought it did a good job of showing how it all worked and how a tenacious attitude could pay off.
Not a movie, but excellent documentary (in regards to what is going on primarily here locally where I live and also the world) that should be required viewing... "FrackNation." Watched it last night on Mark Cuban's AXS channel last night (it's being shown again Saturday at noon). Riveting content, although too much focus on local farmers. About cheap, safe, environmentally friendly, and abundant energy that could help with world energy needs for hundreds of years... being stopped, curtailed and held up... by decisions based on lies. Interesting also how the documentary was made using funds from average people through Kickstarter. Highly recommended!
Went to see The Impossible last night. Friends who have seen it told me to take plenty of tissues because it is an emotional blubfest from beginning to end, and they guaranteed my eyeballs would leak. They didn't. It was an okay movie, made even better by the presence of Ewan McGregor. The best tsunami scene I have seen was in Hereafter, and with this movie being based around the tsunami I expected it to outshine Hereafter's scene but it didn't. Still a good movie though, and I do recommend it.
I watched Finding Rin Tin Tin with my girls ( 2007) It is a cute family movie!!...Next, I think it will be Les Miserables or Mama.
I have been fixated on The Mist lately. Watched it three times in the last week! I thought for sure Marcia Gay Harding would at least be nominated for her portrayal of Mrs. Carmody. Marcia/Carmody were the extra in The Mist. I thought, "Wow! Two Oscars for Stephen King characters!" ( I think the Oscar people can be a little snooty when it comes to *horror* movies. JMO.)

Would you still buy a non-Retina MacBook? [Poll]
The Retina MacBook Pro has been with us for almost a full year now. The 15-inch version came to us by way of WWDC 2012, and frankly was unlike any laptop computer ever seen. The incredible 2880x1800 resolution Retina Display had to be seen to be believed, and just like that Apple had the best laptop display ever produced.
The Retina MacBook Pro now also comes in a 13-inch form factor too, and the display is equally stunning to look at. Combined with a slimmer profile compared to the non-Retina MacBook Pro's, it's a remarkable piece of hardware.
But, the Retina MacBook's are quite expensive sat next to their non-Retina counterparts. Those displays don't come cheap, and the 13-inch versions are $300 apart for the base models while the lowest priced MacBook Air can be had for $999, a full $500 less than the cheapest Retina MacBook Pro.
For me, the jump has been irreversible. From an 11-inch MacBook Air to a 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, I just couldn't go back. The MacBook Pro is portable enough to haul around on the road, and the Retina Display is simply too good to turn my back on.
And that's where you come in. We want to know what you, the iMore readers think. For your next MacBook purchase, would you still consider buying a non-Retina version? Is the form factor and highly portable nature of the MacBook Air more important? Or do you really need the Superdrive that, for now at least, comes on the regular MacBook Pro? Vote in the poll up top, and let us know why in the comments below!

Would you still buy a non-Retina MacBook? [Poll]
I had no choice. Did not like the MacBook Air, and I needed a computer. The 13.3 inch MacBook Pro fit the bill for me. I have the new iPad (3) and that is fine for the need for Retina. I also needed the optical drive. The Pro is powerful, and does all my music needs. The display is great.
Got a 13" rMBP but going to send it back. Although it looks really good the sharping edges (near the trackpad) are a killer. My wrist gets hurt after less than 5 mins. Wrong hand position? Maybe. But the same I use on other laptops and no pain...
Agreed...that edge, and the heat, limits my time on my MBP.
A quick fix would have been to put electric tape along the edge. It sounds tacky but if done carefully it actually looks really cool.
Believe me, I have the 15.4" version and it's plenty large enough. Need larger? AirPlay or HDMI out.
I solely bought and used 17" MBPs myself...for seven years. We've still got an an early and late pair of 2011 17" MBPs. However, when the rMBP dropped, I was intrigued. I bought one in September. Another in November. While we still use the 17s for our business on site purposes, our go to laptops for every day use are the rMBPs. We love them. I know what you mean with the seventeen. I've always loved them. But the rMBP still gives me 1980x1200...albeit a LOT sharper. USB 3--twin thunderbolt and HDMI. The SSD is incredibly fast...portability is hugely improved. And the performance difference is noticeable. We do audio and video production...and I can't imagine buying anything but rMBPs in the future.
See my problem isn't resolution but screen real estate. Sure the rMBP 15" has the crisp high resolution, but that does nothing for how much you can fit on your screen, unless you want everything really tiny. I'd LOVE a 17" rMBP, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Not having a 17" model is a deal breaker for me.
Agreed! I'm typing this on a 17, and could never go back. I need a lot of things on my screen at once.
If all you want is screen real estate, an rMBP is actually perfect. Apple scaled the default resolution to 1440 x 1800, but you could turn it up to 2880 x 1800 if you wanted. I actually prefer 1680 x 1050, but through system preferences, you could turn it up to 1920 x 1200. BTW i'm typing on an rMBP 15".
If you have to "have to have my face 5 inches from the screen to read it"...you'll need an eye exam sooner than later. Again---as a long time 17" owner, I'm sold, completely on the 15" rMBP. You---I promise, do NOT have to get any 'closer' @ 1920x1200 to read, work or manipulate anything on the rMBP. It's hard to explain until you use one, with your workflow (We do nothing but video and audio production...as well as the 'typical' stuff---email/docs/surfing). It's amazing. I was adamant that I would NEVER buy smaller than 17"---I was right with ya. The higher resolution though takes care of the 'real estate' challenge. You can STILL get the same amount of information on the display when scaled. Along with that....the sharpness of the text in all of the apps and software that can NOT be scaled up or down (iTunes/App Store), the difference is astounding. I'm not arguing with you....I'm a big fan of the 17" and refuse to believe Apple has completely written it off. I think as 4k monitors and displays and delivery of the medium becomes mainstream (CES this year---4k was the 'sell'....3d was all but gone!), the 17" MBP, while not a 'big' seller for Apple, would be an excellent platform for 3840x2160 (or 4096x2160) resolutions. As with the Mac Pro re-releasing in a new package this fall, I don't think the 17" professional....TRULY professional laptop won't be far behind. Like the Dell Precision, HP's pro workstations, et al....Apple will, IMHO, release a professional, 'large real estate' laptop when the 'guts' are ready---IE, processing, GPU abilities, display yields, etc. Maybe even 32/64GB RAM capable.
With recent 'concerns' by the board @ Apple for lack of innovation....I think they may start reaching back to the 'pro' market, even though they're not big money makers...they're the machines folks prefer to use writing code, building and testing apps, video production....the list goes on. But as it sits today, as we speak...the 15" rMBP allows for everything the 2011 17" cMBPs I own technically but adds SO much more. Hard to explain....but in 25 years of owning, buying and using computers (Apple IIe was my first)---the rMBP is hand's down my favorite machine I've had the pleasure of owning. We still use our 17s....but my "Go To" machine for daily driving is the rMBP.
I can't speak for the 13"----but with the GPU/Haswell update, I think it'll be a helluva computer in and of itself.
I would mainly use a laptop for Logic and I don't need retina for audio/music applications. But what I don't want is a damned DVD drive! Give me two drives as an option (SSD and HDD) on a non-retina and I'm yours, Apple...once the new chips are out.
I would have Loved to get the Retina, but choose the regular 15" cMBP because the rMBP doesn't have a way to lock it ( no kensington lock port?! wtf.. ). I don't fancy leaving a super spendy machine hanging around an office unlocked all day or having to handle with the hassle of locking it away every lunch break
I would buy the 17" non retina Mac book pro. The other ones are just too small.
I had this in mind at the last fes weeks, when finally decided to made my switch and bought my first Mac. I really be tended to pick a rMBP, but in Brazil they are very expensive, and for the price, shoudt come with a dedicared GPU. So, I decided for the entry MBP. :-)
I have a 15inch rMBP and I absolutely love it!! I've had no issues with it and as for the screen I couldn't go back to anything less. It didn't matter to me that it didn't have an optical drive since I hardly use it anyways but I do have two non-apple external DVD drives that work just fine when I should use one. I'm using my rMBP for IT purposes and I feel like that I couldn't of picked a better laptop. ONCE YOU GO MAC, YOU NEVER GO BACK!!! Lol.
I purchased the 13" about 6 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. I recently purchased the BookBook for it from their website, and it's awesome also. But you have to understand that I was using a 5 year old Sony Vaio with more miles on it than my car. This thing is lightning fast, has a great screen, and although there was a learning curve regarding many things, it made me realize just how much I was missing.
Wouldn't trade it in.....even for a younger wife.
Hi ....
I am using sony vaio for about 3 years. Now it is time to purchase the 13'' macbook pro retina. my sponsor asks me to make a business case in order to approve and purchase it for me? Can you help me with that please?
I would love a retina screen but I can't stand the glued in battery that costs $199 to replace and the soldered in RAM. I just this week bought the standard MacBook Pro 13" with the solid state drive and it cost the exact same amount as the retina version, but like I said, I just can't stomach paying the $$ for a laptop that seems designed to be disposable. I just ordered a refurb 2011 iMac also for the same reason. Faster hard drive and easy to add RAM. Don't like the direction Apple is going with their new designs.
The biggest reason I went with the regular MBP is because of the Ethernet port. At my college, the WiFi gets very spotty due to the sheer number of students that are on it all the time, and they offer Ethernet connections in the lecture halls. I just plug it right in and I am good to go!
Dude, you forget one very important detail, and so is everyone, THUNDERBOLT ISN'T JUST A DISPLAY PORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thunderbolt adapts to so many things, all you need is a cable.
I just purchase a 13 inch, should have it in my hands tomorrow. I really wanted the retina, wasn't in my price range. I think I will be happy without it, will be my first Mac.
wow, same like me. i'm currently waiting for my mbp also =)
So the article says it's a poll, but there isn't actually a poll. We could assume that what was meant was to state your preference in the comments, but then almost no one has actually done that. Fail.
My opinion as someone who sees dozens of different MacBooks on a daily basis is that Retina is nice but not worth jumping through hoops for. The difference is not "night vs. day" but more like "night vs. moonlit night." If you need to buy a MacBook now and you can't afford Retina, don't wait till you can is my advice. It will be the standard soon enough but it sure isn't anything "worth waiting for."
Er...the poll is at the top of the article? Just under the image and to the left of the text?
Yeah, right. Totally not giving up customization for a high-res screen. Being able to upgrade my RAM and HDD has some importance to me.
Yes. Screen resolution/Retina is simply not something i put much importance in. The old resolution was good enough. I'll take it but it's not something I care at all about. Plus most of the time it's attached to a monitor.
I have a retina MacBook. I can't go back. I understand its a luxury right now - but you can get a refurb 13" w 256gb ssd from apple for $1300.
I think you should make another poll asking if anyone would buy a MacBook without an ssd. I think that's far more important.
I returned my non retina for a 15" rMbp. The price was steep but I got a good deal on amazon. 8 gigs of ram wit a 512 SSD. Great graphics and a speed demon. I recommend it, pick up an external DVD drive and you're set. Well worth the extra $, extremely light and portable for a 15" laptop.
I see no advantage in buying any current Apple model. I have a 17" MBP 2.3 ghz QC, upgraded to 16 gb ram, took out the DVD and put in a SSD (240gb) and second hard drive (1TB). Runs awesome! All the current models trade off expandibility for "thinness". Not a good exchange in my book.
I have a 17" MBP with 16 gigs of ram and a 500 gig super fast SSD. It's been the best computer I've ever owned and thought I would never buy a new computer. When Apple discontinued the 17" MBP I started looking into the 15" retina because I unfortunately knew that if I ever needed to buy a new mobile computer the 15" was going to be the biggest Apple I could find. Reading all the reviews flow in about the 15" MBP-r I finally decided to pick one up. I ordered it from MacMall the MBP-r i ordered was the 15" 16 gigs of ram and a 768 gig SSD. I do graphic design and the screen size of the 17" was awesome for what I do. This computer is amazing. The only thing I hate is the cost. I paid $2,743.61 after shipping, I've been trying the past few days to make up excuses on why I should send it back and just keep using my 17"MBP but the display is so gorgeous and even with my fast SSD in the 17" the 15"MBP-r just blows it out of the water. I enjoy using both computers but the screen makes a full day on the computer easy on my eyes. I also don't mind losing the extra weight I lugged around with the 17"MBP. If you spend hours of your day on a computer and need a power house then the Retina Macbook Pro is what you want.
I bought a late 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro in February last year, and I love it. I have setup several retina MacBook Pros for my customers, and I think they're awesome, but I like my own MacBook Pro more. I configured it with the "hi-res" display, so already, it is a better display that the standard 1440x900 display. Later on, I replaced the hard drive with a 512GB SSD, and I upgrade the RAM to 16GB. It flies through every task that I give it, and allows me to run multiple VMs in Parallels without slowing down. When I'm ready to replace this system with a new one, it's likely that the retina MacBook Pro will be the only MacBook Pro being sold by Apple. If I needed a new laptop right now, I would still choose the non-retina model since I would be able to save a little money up front, and upgrade it later on. My only problem with the retina models is that Apple has taken away our ability to perform upgrades. I hope they figure out a way to give that back to us. Otherwise, it means that I have to delay my purchase until I can buy a MacBook Pro that I would never need to upgrade.
For me the standard definition screen is beautiful and I really use the Superdrive in my business activities. I did upgrade the HD to an SSD so the performance is crazy fast. Also, my 60 year old eyes have an easier time seeing the graphics at the lower resolution of the Macbook Pro. I recognize the beauty of the retina screens, my iPhone 5 has one, but all things considered for me it's a luxury I can do without on my laptop.
Although the retina screen out does the standard screen by far, I have mine hooked up to a big monitor as well as my large tv all the time so it doesn't really matter. Another reason why I like the older version is because it can be modified to swap in a ssd drive or make a fusion drive
These are very good but I think if I get one that the new one will come out basically straight away
Am now getting my 4th gen MBP. I opted for the 2013 non-retina for 2 very simple reasons. 1st is that it's a modular design. I can install 3rd party SSD, memory and put in a new battery pack, etc. The rMBP have all this stuff hard wired to the board...can't change a thing. 2nd, the regular MBP features all the new connections but retains FireWire, Ethernet and a SuperDrive. Stuff I use often and don't want to add to my already staggering arsenal of cables and adapters should I get the rMBP. Aside from a more potent screen which only the most discerning will appreciate, these other tangibles for the MBP make it a clear choice for my needs. It's a mega powerful machine in i7 quad core turbo with the nVidia 1Gb card and whatever size SSD and Mem you want to install (again, not proprietary so one can install whatever 3rd party upgrades one wants). Oh ya, if your retina model has a problem, likely it will cost more than a new machine to fix if beyond warranty as the components are all integrated and nothing's off the shelf. Maybe I'll miss the extra pixels but with a 15" screen, probably not.
Sure I would. IMO the only real advantage of the Retina line is the weight/size. The retina screens are a nice res and all, but you cant get them in anti-glare, and having the non-gloss screen is far more important to me than have a screen with twice the resolution.
The other issue is that you pretty much have to purchase all your RAM and "on-board" storage up-front. This is really a huge expense especially for something I may not ever need but am likely to need a year or two after purchasing depending on how my professional tool chain evolves.
I have a 2011 13" MacBook Pro (non-retina). In the event I had to get a new laptop, I'd probably go with a maxed out 13-inch Air just because it is so light and now sports a 12 hour battery. The retina is nice but to my untrained eye, I don't really notice a huge difference from my non-retina display...especially one to justify the higher cost. What I like about the regular macbook pros though is the ability to upgrade it yourself. Chances are, I'll have this laptop for a long time. Once it slows down and fills up, I plan to add a SSD and quadruple the memory.
For me, the Retina MacBooks are nice.. but just too damn expensive. However, interestingly, the resale value for them is low. Once you've taken them out of the box, it immediately seems to wipe $500 off their resale value. So, given a choice, I'd go for a MacBook Pro Retina 15", but second-hand.
It's frustrating though that in mid-2013, the (non-Retina) MacBook Pros still have such a lousy resolution. Just 1400x900 on the horribly expensive 15" model ? Really ? At that price ? My mobile phone has double that resolution. Same goes for the MacBook Airs.
I have an old MacBook Pro 17" (aswell as a second-hand i7 MacBook Pro 15") and the screen on that is lovely. Fantastic for watching DVDs ("Optical is dead", my ass..!!)
I went into the Apple store and was looking over the different options, and I finally decided on going with the Mid-2012 Non-Retina Macbook Pro 13.3" with the 2.9Ghz i7 processor and 8GB of RAM. I kept the HDD drive that comes standard on this Macbook because I am highly considering removing the optical drive and installing a SSD... most likely a 128 or 256Gb to run the OS, certain programs for finance and programming. I am a college student, so I was able to get this Macbook for $200 cheaper. I am extremely happy with my decision. It is already extremely fast and received better Geekbench scores than the current RMBP 3.0Ghz. I have been getting 7950-7980 scores on the 32-bit version of the test, whereas the RMBP 3.0Ghz is receiving scores between 7800-7900. Granted, it's not a huge difference, but I just couldn't see spending $500 more for a machine that isn't more powerful than the one I bought. It might seem faster than mine because of the SSD that comes standard, but once I upgrade mine they will be on a level playing field. I may also upgrade to 16Gb RAM, but not before the SSD. This is just my opinion, but I think you cannot beat the quality of this product for the price versus the more expensive Macbook Pro's.
About a week and a half ago, I bought the MacBook Pro (NR) 13 inch from Best Buy. I talked with the manager, and he was actually extremely helpful in my decision. I told him my history, college student, do some photo editing but am not a professional, watch tons of movies, not a huge gamer, so on and so forth. Instead of trying to upsell the 13 inch Retina MBP, he told me that for my personal use, the original MBP would be my best choice...Now, consider the fact that I did, indeed, have money for whichever one I decided upon. So in this case, the price issue was not a huge dilemma. Of course, now that I have it...it DOES do everything I need it to do, and the fact that it is super upgradeable is a HUGE PLUS, however, there is a war going on in my head over that damn retina display! But you know, I do have a Retina iPad, so all in all, i think the features of the original MBP are excellent, it does everything a normal 21 yr old college student would need it to do with the ability to soup it on up. In a year or two, when some newer models come out, I will probably be ready to upgrade, and keep this little baby as a back up. You've also got to realize, a Mac is a Mac, they are ALL great machines, and always will be. :)
Just bought myself a 15" Non-Retina MBP for university. For me this was easily the best choice as I produce complex musical projects so a retina display wont help me hear it any better! Plus people say that the display on the non retina is still excellent. I grabbed it at the bargain uni prices Apple offer and i could not justify spending the extra on superflous, albeit beautiful, screen. Alongside that, I want to upgrade my Macbook in the future so that this costly investment will not go out of date quickly and the non retina is the only one to allow that (just ordered a ram upgrade). Especially seen as there is very little (albeit startup times and file access) performance difference but this can obviously be remedied with the implementation of an SSD. I need the fastest processor to handle many virtual instruments and effects so it turning on half as fast doesnt bother me, especially considering most of the time you will put it to sleep. For me going to a uni which doesnt have complete wifi coverage an ethernet port is essential (im not paying £25 for an adapter) and so is an optical drive as my love of music causes me to buy many CD's. It will be delivered soon and I cant wait to see how fast my new machine really is, but as for the poll, BUY WHAT YOU WANT - very little performance difference - if you need (more of a want really) the screen get the retina but sacrifice futureproofing.
I'm buying a non-rMBP "old school" laptop this week because I can upgrade 4GB RAM to 16GB RAM (which it does accept) for $120 --I've already done this with my other MBP from 2011.
It has a Kensington Security Slot (I use it in libraries; the new rMBP and MacAirs have no acceptable secondary market hardware security device despite about a half dozen poor options).
I can upgrade or personally replace the HDD anytime, plus it accepts a SSD (in the stock 500GB HDD slot) anytime if I choose that option (and I might when prices come down on SSD).
I can replace the optical drive with SSD, too, if so motivated (instructions online). I like the optical drive on occasion (looking at old CD ROMS of photos; watching a DVD movie), and although I have to carry it all the time as it's built-in, I cannot predict when I'll need it and would likely have the USB drive in my messenger bag anyhow. Plus, saves $79 for the drive.
I have ethernet port just in case (thus, I don't have to buy and carry a $29 Thunder-Ethernet adapter). Think you won't need ethernet? I used it just this week with an Apple "geek" to reinstall Mavericks when my software was corrupted (i.e no reliable wi-fi); ethernet is critical now that Mavericks is the first completely downloadable OS.
I can replace the battery myself.
Sacrifices? Non-Retina, one extra pound, a slightly slower chipset (but, honestly, with 16GB RAM, won't even be noticed) and 2 hours less battery life.
I'm just presenting another way to look at it...especially as the nrMBP is less than a grand for Education pricing at Apple now. Everyone will have a different Apple to fit their needs; this one, for me, has many advantages. Thanks for having me post. SVen

Worker who set fire to sub sentenced to 17 yearsBy DAVID SHARP
THE Associated Press | March 16,2013PORTLAND, Maine A shipyard worker who set fire to rags aboard a nuclear submarine because he wanted to go home was sentenced to a little more than 17 years in federal prison Friday for the blaze that transformed the vessel into a fiery furnace, injured seven people and caused about $450 million in damage.
Casey James Fury also was ordered to pay $400 million in restitution by a judge who weighed his lack of criminal record and the severity of the fire before imposing a 205-month prison sentence.
The 25-year-old Fury, formerly of Portsmouth, N.H., pleaded guilty to setting the May 23 fire while the USS Miami was undergoing a 20-month dry dock overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.
The civilian painter and sand blaster told authorities that he wanted to go home because he was suffering from an anxiety attack. He told them he never envisioned such extensive damage when he used a lighter to set fire to a bag of rags that he left burning on a bunk in a state room.
The blaze quickly grew into an inferno spewing superheated smoke that billowed from hatches. It took 12 hours and the efforts of more than 100 firefighters to save the submarine. Seven people were hurt, the Navy has said.
Eric Hardy, a shipyard firefighter who suffered back and shoulder injuries fighting the blaze, called it the worst fire he had ever seen.
The best way I could describe it, sir, is fighting a fire in a wood stove and climbing down the chimney, Hardy told the judge.
Fury, who had been working in the torpedo room, fled to the safety of the pier, prosecutors said, and watched as firefighters went down hatches and into the burning Los Angeles class-attack submarine, staying inside for only minutes at a time because of smoke and blistering heat.
Hardy said the smoke was so thick that he couldnt even see a foot in front of him and his flashlight was virtually useless. Firefighters had 20-minute air packs, but it was so hard to climb into the sub and move around inside that they were limited to two to three minutes of actual firefighting.
About three weeks later, Fury set a second fire outside the crippled sub, again because of anxiety. That fire caused no damage. He pleaded guilty to two counts of arson in November.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Darcie McElwee said it was telling that Fury set a second fire after the extensive damage caused by the first one.
But the defense lawyer David Beneman contended Fury suffered from depression and anxiety and that he never intended to harm anyone. Beneman described a spin cycle caused by Furys failure to receive adequate treatment.
Fury spoke briefly Friday, apologizing to the people who were hurt and saying he meant no disrespect to the Navy.
From the bottom of my heart, Im truly sorry for what I have done, he said.
U.S. District Judge George J. Singal weighed the extreme damage caused by the fire against Furys lack of criminal record, which consisted of one drunken driving conviction, in finding a sentence in the middle of the 235 months sought by prosecutors and 188 months sought by the defense.
It is only by the grace of God that no one else was more seriously hurt or killed, the judge said.
When he completes his prison sentence, Fury will have to serve five years of supervised release. The $400 million in restitution was mandated by federal statute, but prosecutors dont expect to collect anywhere near that sum.
The May 23 fire damaged forward compartments including living quarters, a command and control center and the torpedo room. It did not reach the rear of the Groton, Conn.-based submarine, where the nuclear propulsion components are located.
The Navy determined it was cost-effective to repair the vessel with a goal of returning it to service in the middle of 2015. But its future is now uncertain. Repairs have been postponed under mandatory budget cuts known as sequestration.
Rear Adm. Richard Breckenridge, a submarine group commander, said the ships extensive damage had ripple effects around the Navy, delaying maintenance on other vessels and leading to longer deployments for thousands of sailors.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

February 2014
As evidenced by this week's snowfall, the icy grip of winter still has a hold on us, but spirits among WU alumni and students couldn't be higher after Bearcats place kicker Conner Mertens inspired the community recently with his courage and pride. Unsurprisingly, his groundbreaking story made national headlines. Read more about Mertens and the WU community's supportive embrace of one of its own here.
Guinness Book Makes Willamette World Record Official
Bearcats everywhere (but especially on campus) had another reason to be proud of their university last month, as the Guinness Book of World Records confirmed that the horde of more than 1,060 students, faculty and staff members that stormed The Quad last August for the world's largest game of Red Light/Green Light did indeed break the official world record. Click here for more details on the event and a fun video.
New Issue of The Scene
The winter 2014 edition is out now. Cozy up with your own copy, or check it out online.
Upcoming Events:
If you missed out on the excitement of Red Light/Green Light, don't worry, because there are plenty of grand-scale events on the horizon, including Alumni Weekend (Sept. 12-14). Planning for the annual extravaganza is still underway, but Bearcats from all generations will undoubtedly have a blast participating in games and catching up with one another. Event programming will be aimed at all WU alumni, but alumni from nine classes (1964, '69, '74, '79, '84, '89, '94, '04, '09) will get to participate in specially-designed activities to celebrate their reunions.
Looking for a way to connect with other WU alumni sooner than September? If so, save the date for each of the three Career Network Lunch & Learn Series workshops led by Alumni Association board member and certified career coach Peter Wallmark '68 this spring (Mar. 20, Apr. 17, May. 15). Each of these gatherings will present fantastic opportunities to further your career and meet other interesting and experienced WU alumni.
Check out our events page for more info on upcoming events, including the next Atkinson Lecture Series event (Mar. 11, 7:30 pm), which will feature acclaimed author and humorist Sherman Alexie. There will also be a pre-lecture reception starting at 6:00 for those who arrive early. Tickets for the lecture will be available on Feb. 17. Check the events page later in the month for additional details.
Unfortunately, the world's most famous and amazingly omnipotent groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow this past Goundhog's Day, which means we are in for six more weeks of winter (if you believe in that sort of thing). So, it's a good thing we have a busy February to look forward to as we brave another chilly month.

By roger from USA on 2013-01-30 07:02:55Things I liked:i had bought an evanix R6 pistol and it was used and damaged, but it still shot 6 kill shots out to about 50 yards.... PA told me to send back the gun and i exchanged it for the hatsan AT P1 pistol and i get 20 kill shots out to 50 yards for small game and using a hill hand pump; with the air already thats left in air cylinder; i just have to pump about 35 pumps to get the air cylinder back up to 200bar...
Things I would have changed:wish the pistol was cheaper, one can buy a kickass pcp rifle for the pistol's price... wish it was semi-automatic... but my 10 round clip works great with the side lever cocking
What others should know:if anyone buys a pcp pistol dont get the low powered scope.... dont get a 2x scope....dont!!!!!

By Mark from USA on 2014-08-01 21:16:55Things I liked:Potential Velocity
Things I would have changed:Quality
What others should know:Never got to pump it up. At first it would not take air at all. Then after removing the tank, it finally started taking air by actuating the valve by hand. Then, unfortunately, the air it did take started to leak out by the built in gauge. Traded it in for a Marauder Pistol.

- Tracheal Intubation (1)
- Videolaryngoscopy (1)
- Efficacy of the EZ-IO (R) needle driver for out-of-hospital intraosseous access - a preliminary, observational, multicenter study (2011)
- Background: Intraosseous (IO) access represents a reliable alternative to intravenous vascular access and is explicitly recommended in the current guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council when intravenous access is difficult or impossible. We therefore aimed to study the efficacy of the intraosseous needle driver EZ-IO(R) in the prehospital setting. Methods: During a 24-month period, all cases of prehospital IO access using the EZ-IO(R) needle driver within three operational areas of emergency medical services were prospectively recorded by a standardized questionnaire that needed to be filled out by the rescuer immediately after the mission and sent to the primary investigator. We determined the rate of successful insertion of the IO needle, the time required, immediate procedure-related complications, the level of previous experience with IO access, and operator's subjective satisfaction with the device. Results: 77 IO needle insertions were performed in 69 adults and five infants and children by emergency physicians (n=72 applications) and paramedics (n=5 applications). Needle placement was successful at the first attempt in all but 2 adults (one patient with unrecognized total knee arthroplasty, one case of needle obstruction after placement). The majority of users (92%) were relative novices with less than five previous IO needle placements. Of 22 responsive patients, 18 reported pain upon fluid administration via the needle. The rescuers' subjective rating regarding handling of the device and ease of needle insertion, as described by means of an analogue scale (0 = entirely unsatisfied, 10 = most satisfied), provided a median score of 10 (range 1-10). Conclusions: The EZ-IO(R) needle driver was an efficient alternative to establish immediate out-of-hospital vascular access. However, significant pain upon intramedullary infusion was observed in the majority of responsive patients.
- Comparison of the TruView infant EVO2 PCD™ and C-MAC video laryngoscopes with direct Macintosh laryngoscopy for routine tracheal intubation in infants with normal airways (2014)
- OBJECTIVE: Videolaryngoscopy has mainly been developed to facilitate difficult airway intubation. However, there is a lack of studies demonstrating this method's efficacy in pediatric patients. The aim of the present study was to compare the TruView infant EVO2 and the C-MAC videolaryngoscope with conventional direct Macintosh laryngoscopy in children with a bodyweight ≤10 kg in terms of intubation conditions and the time to intubation. METHODS: In total, 65 children with a bodyweight ≤10 kg (0-22 months) who had undergone elective surgery requiring endotracheal intubation were retrospectively analyzed. Our database was screened for intubations with the TruView infant EVO2, the C-MAC videolaryngoscope, and conventional direct Macintosh laryngoscopy. The intubation conditions, the time to intubation, and the oxygen saturation before and after intubation were monitored, and demographic data were recorded. Only children with a bodyweight ≤10 kg were included in the analysis. RESULTS: A total of 23 children were intubated using the C-MAC videolaryngoscope, and 22 children were intubated using the TruView EVO2. Additionally, 20 children were intubated using a standard Macintosh blade. The time required for tracheal intubation was significantly longer using the TruView EVO2 (52 sec vs. 28 sec for C-MAC vs. 26 sec for direct LG). However, no significant difference in oxygen saturation was found after intubation. CONCLUSION: All devices allowed excellent visualization of the vocal cords, but the time to intubation was prolonged when the TruView EVO2 was used. The absence of a decline in oxygen saturation may be due to apneic oxygenation via the TruView scope and may provide a margin of safety. In sum, the use of the TruView by a well-trained anesthetist may be an alternative for difficult airway management in pediatric patients.
- Cuff overinflation and endotracheal tube obstruction : case report and experimental study (2010)
- Background: Initiated by a clinical case of critical endotracheal tube (ETT) obstruction, we aimed to determine factors that potentially contribute to the development of endotracheal tube obstruction by its inflated cuff. Prehospital climate and storage conditions were simulated. Methods: Five different disposable ETTs (6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 mm inner diameter) were exposed to ambient outside temperature for 13 months. In addition, every second of these tubes was mechanically stressed by clamping its cuffed end between the covers of a metal emergency case for 10 min. Then, all tubes were heated up to normal body temperature, placed within the cock of a syringe, followed by stepwise inflation of their cuffs to pressures of 3 kPa and >=12 kPa, respectively. The inner lumen of the ETT was checked with the naked eye for any obstruction caused by the external cuff pressure. Results: Neither in tubes that were exposed to ambient temperature (range: -12°C to +44°C) nor in those that were also clamped, visible obstruction by inflated cuffs was detected at any of the two cuff pressure levels. Conclusions: We could not demonstrate a critical obstruction of an ETT by its inflated cuff, neither when the cuff was over-inflated to a pressure of 12 kPa or higher, nor in ETTs that had been exposed to unfavorable storage conditions and significant mechanical stress.

CHARLESTON — The three candidates forwarded to Governor Earl Ray Tomblin for consideration to replace former Delegate Josh Stowers in the legislature backed off of their stated commitments to support the "entire Democrat platform of the state of West Virginia and the national Democrat party" Friday. In addition, it was determined that one of the three candidates has been investigated by the lawyer Office of Disciplinary Council. That candidate, Wendy Elswick, has challenged a council recommendation that her law license be suspended for three years because of ethics violations.
The state supreme court is set to hear Elswick's appeal in September, according to court sources. The charges against Elswick stem from her relationship with a Texas death row inmate while representing a client when she worked in the public defender's office.
According to testimony compiled by the disciplinary council, Elswick elicited false information from serial killer Tommy Lynn Sells and concealed evidence that her client, Dana December Smith and Sells were acquainted with each other. In releasing its 45-page finding in February, the council called for the suspension of Elswick's license "for at least three years."
The ODC found , in the investigation instituted by Elswick's public defender supervisor George Castelle, that the attorney hid notes and letters that showed that Smith and Sells had met before, while continuously assuring the court that they were not acquainted.
In the course of the investigation, ODC officials found that Elswick had an on-going correspondence relationship with Sells. She also visited the Texas inmate at least twice. Although Elswick insisted that Texas authorities recommended she "get closer" to Sells to learn more about the case, the ODC investigators found personal references in the correspondence that they deemed inappropriate.
For example, the ODC said Elswick wrote Sells about her personal life, including references to a strained relationship with her father and how she felt "stupid" and "poor" in law school. In return, Sells sent Elswick vivid "rape fantasies" and at one point made reference to the attorney's breasts.
Although Elswick eventually resigned from the case, the ODC found that her activities jeopardized her client's chances of winning an appeal. Both Sells and Smith remain in prison, with Sells on death row.
The information about Elswick's legal problems apparently were unknown to members of the Twenty-second Delegate District Executive Committee, who met at the Lincoln County courthouse Thursday to select the three nominees. One member, Dan Cook of Putnam County, said he had "no idea" Elswick was in trouble with the ODC. While he was not certain if the information would have altered his vote for Elswick, he added that this is why it's a two-step process. "I assume the governor can now check all three of these people a lot better than we could. He holds the key to checks and balances," Cook said.
Danville Town Manager Josh Barker emerged as the favorite to replace Stowers, since he received the endorsement of all eight committee members. Union organizer Gary McCallister was second, with seven votes and Elswick received four.
With regard to the rights of gays and abortionists, as supported by the national Democrat party platform, McCallister later told a reporter he "cannot support gay rights because of my church." Barker said he is a "lifelong Democrat through and through," but said he does not support gay or abortion rights. Elswick refused to answer a reporter's question after telling the assembled committee that she "supports every word of the platforms." In response to a reporter's repeated question regarding gay rights, Elswick continuously responded, "I want to do what's best for the citizens of the Twenty-second District."
It is now up to Governor Earl Ray Tomblin to select the replacement for Stowers from among the three names submitted. He has five days from the time state Party Executive Chairman Larry Puccio gets the names to him to make a decision. A spokesman for the governor said he did not believe the governor would make an appointment "before next week. I don't think there'll be a selection over the weekend."
Both Dempsey and State Democrat Executive Director Jacob Winowich said they had no knowledge of the legal proceedings pending with regard to Elswick. She is currently listed as an assistant state attorney general but did not return repeated phone calls to her office Friday.
Nobody answered repeated phone calls to the governor's press office Friday nor did a gubernatorial aide immediately return a reporter's call after reports emerged that Elswick was withdrawing her name as a candidate Friday afternoon.

Barhite: A sad ending to a once-happy storyWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | email@example.com
Five years ago, a colleague wrote about a local woman who risked death to deliver her baby.
The original story ran as part of the Mother Day's coverage in Toledo Free Press.
Kristy Kress had been in her seventh month of pregnancy when she developed peripartum cardiomyopathy — pregnancy-induced heart failure — and gave birth to a premature son.
A few months later, she had a successful heart transplant.
She went back to work, she and her husband Chad raised little Hunter, and she became a huge advocate for organ donation.
In most cases, we would never have to revisit this story. But then everything changed — in a heartbeat.
On Feb. 7, Kristy, 36, died after suffering a rare form of rejection related to her heart transplant — years after the surgery had been deemed successful.
It was a shock.
"She wasn't sick over the past five years," said her sister-in-law Lexy Batey. "You would have seen her on the street and you would have thought she was just like you."
I vividly remember the original story from 2009. At first, her last name didn't sound familiar. However, her photo gave me pause. It was Kristy McVicker, a 1995 graduate of Springfield High School, my alma mater.
When I started to see on Facebook that she had passed, I thought it had to be because of something other than her heart. She had met all of her transplant milestones.
"We have had five extra years," said her mom, Diana McVicker. "Her rejection started in August and progressed really quickly."
As the family struggles to find a routine after Kristy, they try to focus on her memory. Unfortunately, none of her organs could be saved and donated.
"She would want to be remembered as a good mom. She had five years with her son that she wouldn't have had," Batey said. "We are holding up, but it is tough. We are trying our best."
In the future, the family would like to do something in her memory or organize a benefit. They will be paying medical bills for a lifetime, so encouraging organ donation is a more immediate gift.
"Organ donation meant so much to Kristy. She wasn't sick over the past five years," Batey said. "She was back at work a week after being released from the hospital with a heart transplant."
Kristy was the general manager of Extended Stay America in Holland. She and her husband met at work.
"Kristy was so down to earth. Monetary things meant nothing to her. She is my sweetie," her mom said.
The Thursday before she died, it was suggested that Kristy go on disability. She refused. "That is not going to happen; don't even go there," she said.
In honor of Kristy, the family asked that donations go to Life Connection of Ohio, an organization dedicated to organ donation.
"It became her passion," McVicker said. "Every time she posted she would mention it. If Kristy would have asked anything of us, she would ask us to be organ donors."
Her other passion was her family, which was evident the first time we wrote about her. Doctors didn't think she would survive a cesarean section to bring her son into the world. She did it anyway.
"Kristy was a fighter. She believed in hard work. She had a great deal of love, and she loved her family, especially Hunter," her mom said.

- Verb (1) (remove)
- Noun, verb, and participation (1987)
- The present article is a crosslinguistic discussion of the distinction between a word class of nouns and a word class of verbs in the UNI TYP framework of the dimension of PARTICIPATION (for a first overall sketch of PARTICIPATION see Seiler 1984). According to this framework the noun/verb-distinction (henceforth N/V-D) must be regarded as a gradable, continuous phenomenon ranging from the stage of a clear-cut distinction with no overlap to almost a non-distinction. Although there is no question that most, if not all, languages do differentiate between nouns and verbs, it is also quite apparent that the languages do so to a different degree and by different means, and that it only makes sense to use the terms "noun" and "verb" in different languages when one actually has a common functional denominator in mind (see below). After a general introduction to the notion of a noun/verb-continuum (chapter 1) the reader will be presented with a survey of languages as diverse as German. English, Russian, Hebrew, Turkish, Salish. and Tongan (see chapter 2) in support of the continuum hypothesis. In chapter 3 the facts are coordinated in an overall pattern of regularities underlying the Increase or decrease of categorical restrictions between the respective word classes. Also, chapter 3 raises the issue to what degree a N/V-D can be considered a matter of certain lexemes or a matter of the morphosyntactic environment of certain lexical units. Lastly, we shall seek for an answer to the question why it is not a necessary requirement for languages to draw a sharp distinction between a word class of nouns and a word class of verbs.

I absolutely love Hammer Perpetuem. The Strawberry-Vanilla and Orange-Vanilla both have very light flavors. They are easy to consume on a short or long ride, or on a long run. The supplement is much stronger than the taste suggests. The only suggestion I can make that would make it better is: Be sure it stays cold! Once it gets warm, it's not too tasty! I definitely recommend it to athletes!

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem:
On long training days, hard backpacking trips, and summit days this stuff is like cheating. Tastes awful, but with the results you get I can easily get around that.

- ActiveScaffold was surprisingly easy to use for admin interfaces. One possible gotcha is that you have to manually configure namespaced RESTful routes (e.g.
map.resources :tasks, :active_scaffold => true).

"What are your current favorite Object Mother implementations or patterns?"
There are several approaches:
- Factories-and-Workers
- Object Daddy
- Roll Your Own – Your Object Mother will likely be so domain specific that you should just write it from scratch.
