ERIE, PA - Both the men's and women's basketball teams from Hilbert College went down in defeat tonight against Penn State Behrend suffering Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference road losses.
The Behrend women played with the same focus displayed two days ago when they soundly defeated La Roche College, the defending AMCC champions. The Lions (7-2, 9-5) extended their 45-18 half time advantage to a 86-42 final. Natalie Whitman led the Hawks (1-8, 3-13) with 10 points and five rebounds. Hilbert forced 14 Behrend turnovers, but the Lions finished the game shooting 47.8% from the floor compared to the Hawks 29%. Lauren Eggleston netted a career high nine points making five of eight free throws.
Anthony Hodge was six for six from the foul line to finish with 18 points for Hilbert (6-3, 12-4) in their tough 68-61 loss to Behrend, who just came off a triple over-time loss to La Roche College on Saturday. The Hawks held Behrend (6-2, 10-5) to a dismal 29% shooting from the floor the first half, but the Lions took a 25-24 lead at the break by sinking one more three pointer than the visitors. Both teams executed their offenses better in the second half, with Hilbert improving to 42% while the Lions sizzled the net at 72%. Behrend sank 13 of 18 shots from the floor and were 15 of 19 at the foul line to grab the seven point win. Hilbert out-rebounded the hosts by one and grabbed 14 offensive boards. Trevor Stark chipped in 10 points and Dan McFarland added eight (five assists) as did CJ Hodge (four steals).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

In-N-Out Burger tied to North Side site

In this June 8, 2010 photo, a customer receives an order from the drive-through at In-N-Out Burger in Baldwin Park, Calif. Amid complaints of obesity and lines of idled cars stretching into neighborhood streets, this blue-collar town is banning new drive-throughs in hopes of shedding its reputation as a haven for convenient, fatty foods.
It appears In-N-Out Burger finally has selected the site for its first restaurant in San Antonio.
While T.G.I. Friday's currently sits at the corner of Loop 410 and McCullough Avenue, a shell corporation tied to In-N-Out purchased the site across from North Star Mall less than three months ago.
29 NEL LLC — a nod to the location's address at 29 NE Loop 410 — acquired the land on Oct. 28, with a listed mailing address of 13502 Hamburger Lane in Baldwin Park, Calif. That's where In-N-Out houses its real estate department.
In June, 29 NEL LLC filed its certificate of formation with the Texas secretary of state, and Los Angeles-based attorney Dana P. Newman signed the document as its official organizer.
She works for the Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman law firm, which lists about 100 clients on its website, including In-N-Out Burger.
A representative with the popular burger chain was not immediately available for comment, but Carl Van Fleet, vice president of planning and development, told the Express-News in August that the Irvine, Calif.-based company is "very enthusiastic" about opportunities in San Antonio.
"That said, we are in the very early stages of development in both cities," Van Fleet wrote in an email at the time. "We are currently working on a site in New Braunfels, but nothing is close to finalized there yet so it would be premature to comment on the status or timing of that project.
"As far as San Antonio is concerned, we are looking at a few opportunities there as well but nothing that we can comment on yet," he added. "It is just too early."
An employee who answered the phone at the existing T.G.I. Friday's said he was unaware of any plans to close, relocate or demolish the casual dining restaurant.
The national chain currently operates two other locations in San Antonio.

Where has all the time gone?!
I didn't realize until a couple of days ago that it has officially been ONE YEAR since my first blog post. Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? Wasn't it just January 2009 --- or at least the beginning of summer vacation? The older I get, the more I realize that my mother was right in all areas of life, but most especially when she used to tell me "The older you get, the faster time flies."
What have I learned in this first year of book blogging? The first thing I learned is that blogging is not a solitary activity but a community of fun, caring, and encouraging friends whom I may never meet in person, but I feel as though I have known all my life. I had one comment on my first post from Sheri of A Novel Menagerie. Sheri quickly became a cyber-space friend whom I have learned to love and appreciate with each and every one of her posts. I had the unique experience of going to the Book Expo 2009 and meeting face-to-face several book blogging "celebrities" most notably, Bermudia Onion, Booking Mama, My Friend Amy, Stephanie's Written Word, She is Too Fond of Books, Hey Lady! Whatcha Readin?, Linus's Blanket, and Beth Fish Reads (I missed Maw Books by just a few minutes, but I hope to meet her in person sometime soon). In meeting these wonderful bloggers I realized that the person we think they are, is truly the person they are. Book bloggers are real, they are honest, and they are not pretentious. What a refreshing alternative to what I experience in "real" life. While I don't pay too much attention to stats, I must admit that I am flabbergasted that Google Reader shows that over 200 of you follow my blog, and for that I deeply humbled. A year ago I never anticipated meeting so many wonderful cyber-space friends.
The second lesson learned is that reading is an ACT-ivity, not a passivity. Now I try to teach this to my students all the time: you must interact with the text in order to analyze the text. However I never dreamed that reading could be considered an olympic sport: there are 24 hour read-athons, mystery read-athons, and basically one can make up a read-athon whenever they want! I have never considered myself an athlete and have felt like I have missed a lot of comaraderie with my fellow man because of that genetic flaw, but the book blogging world has helped me to recapture this lost opportunity from the past and to compete in an activity in which I have confidence.
The third lesson learned is that reading can be FUN. Now, don't get me wrong, I have always loved reading --- but I never knew that I could "challenge" myself to read in fun, exciting, mind-opening ways. What is it about a challenge that gets my blood pressure up, my adrenaline pumping, and my creative juices flowing? I signed up for far more challenges than I could ever hope to complete, but the intentions were good, I promise. For those that I failed to complete this year, I still maintain that I will finish them at some point in my lifetime, most notably the Everything Austen challenge and the Harry Potter challenge. Who knows....perhaps I will host my own challenge in the years ahead that will rekindle this interst among future book bloggers. This less-than-perfect challenge record will not deter me, however, from signing up for challenges in 2010. I read A Novel Challenge faithfully every day to keep track of the challenges for the new year. I am constantly amazed at the creativity of book bloggers and their ability to combine the love of reading with other life interests.
The fourth thing I have learned this year is to become a better organizer and record-keeper of my book buying and reading activities. I have created an excel spreadsheet in which I attempt to keep track of the number of books read, number of pages read, books that I want to read, books purchased (and price paid), and books won. Yes... that is right....books won. Initially I wasn't going to enter any book contests because I didn't think that I would win anything. But then Sheri, the same Sheri who was my first blogosphere friend, informed me that I had nothing to lose. And you know....she was right!! In the short time that I have allowed myself to enter these contests, I have won a total of 18 books. Isn't that unbelievable?! While I have not read many of these books yet, I know that I will read them at some point in the future, and when I do I have a record of who to thank. While I will save my other statistics for an end-of-the-year post, I can say that there is deep satisfaction in knowing how many books/pages read over the course of a year. It makes me realize that even though I may not have completed all challenges, I have accomplished quite a lot in 12 months time.
So on this day of celebration I not only say "Happy Birthday to me" -- but I also say THANK YOU to all those who have deeply impacted my life over these internet wires. You have blessed and inspired me more than you will ever know.

Why do people think that they are shielding God from what the Bible clearly states of God?!!!!!!
I agree wholeheartedly with the author of that book! Even contextually, the interpretation that makes Him my devil doesn't work with the worst translations on that that I've seen. See Robert Young's "Hints to Bible Interpretation." You can't even get any of my Karaite relatives to buy into that nonsense that God is evil. They'd chase you out of their house with a gun over such paganism!
Interesting take and good info on this topic found at the following. Brief excerpt; "Very few sermons in our Western synagogues and churches would include the passage "I [God] form the light and create darkness, I make peace and I create evil, I am the LORD who does all of these" (Isaiah 45:7) as our Western mind sees these two forces as opposing opposites while the Eastern mind sees them both as equals and necessary for perfect balance. In the Western mind, God is only good and therefore unable to create evil. The Eastern mind sees God as a perfect balance of all things including good (tov in Hebrew) and evil (ra in Hebrew).It should be noted that the English word "evil" has no Ancient Hebrew equivelant, while most English translations will use the word "evil"..."http://www.tentmaker.org/forum/index.php?topic=6497.msg70731#msg70731

The Red's Ice House Sharks captured the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department men's flag football league championship Tuesday with a 17-0 win over the Buckeyes at Town Hall.
Former Lowcountry preps standout Ryan Steed turned in a big night on offense, defense and special teams to lift the Sharks (8-4) to the championship win. Steed gave the Sharks an early three-point lead with a 35-yard field goal in the first half.
Steed later hooked up with Austin Friddle on a 10-yard screen pass to open a two-score Sharks advantage with eight minutes to play in the game.
The Sharks defense sealed the win late in the fourth quarter as lineman Patrick Hickman deflected a Buckeyes pass into the hands of Steed who returned it 95 yards for the score.
"Everyone played like warrior poets," Friddle said. "The redbirds are flying strong." Steed was named the Sharks' Most Valuable Player, along with Friddle who received co-MVP honors.
The Buckeyes finish the season 7-5.

DETROIT (AP) - Hyundai is adding more Veloster hatchbacks to a recall for panoramic sunroofs that can shatter and cause injuries.
In December, the automaker recalled about 13,500 of the funky cars from the 2012 model year. Now it's adding about 6,100 more, bringing the total to 19,600 in the U.S. The additional Velosters were built from July 4, 2011 through Oct. 31, 2011.
Hyundai said in December that it knows of no crashes from the problem, but five people suffered minor cuts.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating the cars in October after getting complaints from customers. The company traced the problem to a manufacturing defect that damaged the sunroof glass.
Hyundai says it will inspect and replace the glass if needed.

Win a free iPad mini from iMore!
NOOOO! The 8GB/WiFi-only model will be tagged around $249 and 64GB around $649...More details about 16 different versions are here http://www.techsnapr.com/2012/10/20/ipad-mini-what-to-know/
But this isn't a "similar product" ...this is an iPad!
The build quality and ecosystem alone is worth the small premium. I think people will be willing to shell out the extra 130 bucks, just like the iPod line, do you want a $160 Sansa MP3 player(just an example, I don't know how much they cost, but you get the gist), or a $299 iPod? I think it'll do just fine.(excellent, even)
I'll love to have a more portable ipad, that way i can carry it everywhere
Could you please let me win please, Iv'e looked all over the internet but there all to expensive and I cant afford it!
So please let me win.
Thank you.
I partially agree - The price points are in fact ugly to compete in the 7" tablet market. I can't image these will sell like gangbusters except to people who have to have everything Apple. Before I get slammed, I own an iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad (original) and iPod (4th gen). I'm not interested in the iPad Mini. If I don't want to lug around a notebook computer I'll take my netbook. If I don't need the netbook I'll take my iPad. If for some reason the iPad is too big I'll take my 7" Lenovo tablet. The iPad Mini seems to be in it's own size class. A class I don't see being useful. Possibly just me though.
I am privileged to be given the opportunity to win such a marvelous device by iMore. I'd like to thank them and wish you all the best of luck. Rock on!
I would never second guess Apple...but I really believe they missed an incredible opportunity of REAL tablet dominance by pricing the Mini so high. At this price I think people will choose between the iPad or the Mini. At $199-$249 I could see iPad owners adding the Mini to their stable as a dedicated reader and the possibility of some buyers actually buying both this Holiday season. As usual time will tell
I have been looking for a smaller, but still effective iPad for school, reading papers, etc. I would love to win the iPad mini!
would love to win one!!! that be amazing!
I think it's more like the competition is prized too low. Amazon selling its tablets at or below cost and Google selling theirs at cost would make the iPad mini price seem high, but I think it's priced competitively to make a profit. After all, that's what companies in the hardware business do. Wait for next year when the new model is introduced and Apple drops the price on this model to, let's say, $239. How long can the competition continue their current pricing with Apple nipping at their heels?
No, it's NOT high, as it ISN'T competing with 7" tablets. It's essentially an 8" iPad with the same number of pixels as an iPad 2. This means, as Apple says, that it delivers the full iPad user experience. So, since it's an iPad, then it's a LESS expensive iPad.
I really want the I pad because my is broken please just call me at 3925046
give meee *-*
I love that you guys give so much away! *prays I win it* a white one please! ;)
The white one looks AMAZING! I would love to win this!
Love iMore!
I have always thought the 7"(ish) form factor is the right size for a tablet. I have used Android devices and the Playbook, so I am looking forward to seeing Apple's entry to this space.
I would love to have one.
your right this site states exact the same http://www.techsnapr.com/2012/10/20/ipad-mini-what-to-know/

Add-ons are those groovy little things we stick into our game files to make our lives in game just that much easier. In today's Devil's Advocate, we talk add-ons and much more. Check out our thoughts and then join the conversation in the comments.

"addons are extra programs or modifications that you add on to your game to give you additional information or functionality without unbalancing or otherwise hacking the game."
The problem is that your definition starts by assuming that add-ons are good thing, by simply defining anything bad as not being an add-on. It's the No True Scotsman fallacy.
How does a game make it so that it's possible to create add-ons that give additional information or functionality, without also making it possible to create add-ons that unbalance or otherwise hack the game? WoW's add-on system sure led to an awful lot of the latter.
And let's not forget that the reason add-ons even in the good sense became necessary in WoW is that the game shipped with a UI that was essentially non-functional. You needed quick access to dozens of skills, but without add-ons, could only have quick access to 12 at a time. Games that ship with a working UI that gives you easy access to everything you need and plenty of customization options to set things the way you want don't need add-ons. And not enabling such add-ons is really the only practical way to prevent people from creating add-ons that unbalance things.
The presumption here is that everyone has the same add-ons, thus there is no advantage... that is not always the case.
Add-ons that time boss encounters give a distinct advantage to the player... get out of the fire... bite this person... shows danger zones... yadda yadda.
Add-ons are like someone hacking the original code... intended or not... allowed or not... you are adjusting the game from the state under which it orginally shipped.
Instead of peppering the players with a plethora of add-ons, how about fixing the damn game instead?
I like games that block add-ons and macros... you all have same damn buttons, part of the skill comes in mastering them. Add-ons simplify things to the point that they are the ones mastering the game, not the player.

One of the biggest reasons I stopped raiding at all in WoW, besides being bored as all hell by it, was my guild's increasing insistence on me using Deadly Boss Mods and the Paladin Buff-setup.
The only thing they knew I didn't have, at first, was that buff set up, though they never mentioned it above a joke simply because they knew me to be the guy always rebuffing and fixing it all up just as they were about to fade. About the time the last raid for Wrath of the Lich King came out, and I did a few raids within it, I made a joke about how bloody easy it was to deal with these bosses even without the Boss Mod.
What followed was essentially "Download Deadly Boss Mods or GTFO". Again, they had absolutely no idea I didn't have it in place, why? Because I was attentive, because I actually paid attention to the game itself instead of fifteen different alarms going off telling me "DONT STAND IN FIRE BRO!" or "HIT 2 NOW MAN!". That's the biggest issue here, the addons actually detract from the amount of attention you are paying to the game proper. I won't say every addon is horrible though. I quite like the more cosmetic and fluff ones myself, or ones that help deal with an issue the devs are refusing to at the moment with their UI. But they should never be so intrusive that a player needs them.
Another fun story. End of Burning Crusade, doing Magister's Terrace on the first or second day. Our Raid-geared uber tank steps up for the first mob, throws out his attack, then stands there. The equally geared Priest Healer casts fortitude as usual for a priest, then as mobs run to trample us all down while the Tank stares on blankly, also does nothing.
The excuse? The patch screwed up their addons. They lacked even the most basic capability to handle the aggro of two-three enemies, as well as healing us, simply because their addons stopped working.

The addon annoyance is one of the many reasons I will not resub to WoW. There are many games since WoW that have taken a add-ons allowed stance. I'm good with it.
Add-ons are the reason many of us will leave a game. If the game dev allows them, they are allowing hacks into the game by literally opening the front door instead of them sneaking in the back.
They also open their player base to the same hacks, which some are not actually looking out for the best interest of that base (shock!). Honestly, do you think all the viruses, trojans, and keylogging programs come from people buying 'gold' on bad sites? No sir, they are coming from add-on creators and those that distribute them.
It's in the game's best interest (especially pvp) to stay away from add-ons being allowed, and I will support those that do, and steer clear from those that allow them.

You did not talk about competitive advantages and reliance on these addons as huge downsides.
For example, cutting edge raid guilds had members program custom addons to time things in boss fights and came up with addons such as decurser to progress. By having exclusive guild access to these programs they get a competitive advantage.
Not to mention 3rd party sites are great ways for the average computer user to get hacked.
Not to mention addon conflicts with each other.
There are benefits of addons, sure, but they can come with many downsides.

add-ons that do not reduce the difficulty of content = acceptable
add-ons that reduce the difficulty of content = not a game for me
pvp without targeting... a soft target add-on, or proximity check that told you when to cast... game breaker
pve: DBM.... why even raid if you just have to move left as the computer flashes "move left" in front of you.. there is no challenge
Things that let you organize your bags, move your interface, record where you saw stuff on the map... that enhances the game, but doesnt give you an in game advantage

Looks like the OP is outvoted :) I too am against add-ons. Yes they can make an mmo easier to play but if you are competitive, he who has the best add-on will usually win. This applies to both pve and pvp. The situation with the poster who was told to use add-ons or gtfo was all too common in WOW and one of the reasons that I left.

Pffff... don't start about add-ons. I used them once in WoW. Basically I went with the whole package, to see how it'd feel. The customisable interface, extra bars and the roleplay addon were great. What I didn't like was the constant rebuffing messages, boss tactics not for me to find out, storing of gathering places, telling me how to up my crafting, ordering and advising on my AH offers... It made me want to go back to playing the game.

PvP addons even in wow are very much imba you have clear advantage over player not using them.... they don't clearly see all effects buffs/debuffs they may miss some skill proc or delay skill activation when it's on cd. And data gathering addons can help you improve your gameplay eliminate mistakes you don't even know about.
Imagine questing your 3rd character in WoW without quest helper end efficient pathing... just a waste of time that can accumulate to day or two wasted on running around but It may break immersion for some if you still need it at N-th playthru.
Backpack / guild / communication / trading / bank management all this and more are just awesome feautres that bring your in game life to next level by just reducing annoying work you'd have to make because there is stuff in game that need improvment but developer is too lazy to do it. I can check my bank without stupid 5 minute trip to town... i can store in game chat history amazing. I can review my gathering paths and improve them.
Thanks to addon scripting WoW is miles ahead of any mmo game because devs get free help in improving meta-game features.

Anyone that is freaking and hating on add ons was not around before they were not around or have forgotten what player made add on have done for us. UI is always low on dev list of things to do. But player adds on gave us fixes to things faster then devs can do themselves. Also millions of players making add ons have come up with things we now take for granted. All player firsts, auto dismount when casting, mini maps, quest trackers, team quest trackers, auto loot, bag space orgnizor, junk button to sell all junk, target of target, dual targetting, all player add on first. All MMOs should have player add ons but should be policed to stop add ons that break game play.

If it wasnt for addons in the past, your MMORPG today would not have more than HALF the features it has...its the PLAYERS that came up with them.
You see that mini map? Orginally an add on.
You see that node you want to gather on your mini map? Add on first.
You have the ability to move UI windows? Add on.
You have more than one skill frame? Add on.
Add/remove name plates? Add on.
Ability to chose between numbers, percentage or nothing for HP/MP when selecting a mob? Add on
Changing chat text size, color? Add on...changing the chat window size? Add on. HAVING MORE THAN ONE CHAT CHANNEL? Yes, an add on was made to actually create a new channel in game...
Ability to sort your bags, combine all your bags into one window, auto sell junk loot...add ons.
Add ons do nothing but vastly enhance a game, because no company will EVER create a UI that is perfect, nor think of every option that gamers can think of.

Hell, for the very fact that leveling is so pathetically easy now (even without heirlooms), quest efficiency means about jack squat. You outlevel the zones quests before you are even halfway done with that areas quests for the most part now.
Like you said though, all these addons (superfluous as they are to me) improve the meta-game so to speak. But you need to remember, not everyone gives a damn about the meta, and care more about the actual game itself. Not everyone is going to worry about if their "Gather paths" are about a yard longer than it could be, or having to take an extra minute to sort bags or banks.
And towards the last two posters, just because a player can think of it, doesn't mean its needed or even necessary. I do believe WoW had resource tracking from the start, as well as mini-maps. It did when I had played it during the "Vanilla" release at least. Its dependant on the style of game the devs had in mind, and for all you know those kinds of mods may of been close to ban-worthy for some games, specially for ones that would purport themselves to be ultra-hardcore and the like.
Again though, I have no issue with addons to fix oversights like scalable UIS or more easily readable text. I have no issues with something that spruces up the frames, and honestly seeing exactly what percentage an enemy's health is at isn't exactly all that important, specially when you can already see his health bar.
My issue is with add-ons are with the ones that have become invasive, not conducive, to gameplay. Ones that actually detract from player attention and skill, and put it more towards just how many side programs you are willing to have running at the exact same time.

I thought I'd be in the minor group "of seemingly outmoded thinking", it's a pleasant surprise that others playing without add-ons as well :)
I just like to play the game as the creators planned, and not in some over-simplified, comfy chair version of it... and that goes to offline games as well, I use texture packs to update the graphics, quest packs to increase the game length, but never use plugins to messing with the gameplay.
Even when the game is bugged and it'd be somewhat justified to snap an add-on to fix the problem, I rather just report it :) perfect example to that is TSW's deck manager, which is bugged for months now, and there are flawlessly working deck managers, but I just keep spamming FC with bugreports :) I mean, there are guys who can write a working version in their free time, as an UI mod, in 100kb, and FC couldn't fix it for months? C'mon...
But I think in those bug cases the same, using an add-on is just covering the problem and not solving anything, if everyone is just installing the plugins, those bugs will stay ingame forever...

lol in wow, there are some addons i couldn't live with, for example, tidyplates, xperl, gladius, icehud, didn't raid much so won't comment much bout pve, its that tidyplates(nameplates looks much more nicer and it displays cc timer on mobs/player), xperl allows me to reposition target and focus bar,, icehud displays my health/mana bar on teh center of the screen so i wouldn't need to occasionally glance at player bar located on teh top left hand(its kinda annoying to do that in pvp wheres so much things are happening at the same time).
As for gladius, lol, i need it to knew whether enemy player trinket is on cd or not. Addons are nice, i mean why should i made life harder with the default interface given to me lol. In fact it helps me to concentrate on stuff that really matter.
Lets say ur in 3v3 and ur going for the kill, you need to know if the enemy healer trinket is on cd, ur too busy healin ur teamate to even consider whether the 2 min trinket cd's up unless ofc ur a gladiator, thats where addon helps(gladius). You need to know hw many seconds till cyclone ends so u can call out to your teamate so you can chain cc, thats where addon helps
Lastly, some addons like damagemeter or w/e it is called in pve is really needed, hw do i know if that rogue/mage/war is contributing the pt? Without addon he can just stand tehre maybe pressin 1 or 2 skills and he can win a roll just because he's lucky nt because he contributes.

Now what if you went up against mister X who doesn't use addons? He would lose because you have clear advantages and there isn't a level playing field. That's what add-ons did and that's the point the OP tried to make. They make life easier, but some are a MUST to be/stay competitive.

In just one week, over 380 people have joined the group to share their views about dilapidated buildings that need improved in the town and how this can be done.
It was set up by Mark Shackley, who has also created several Facebook groups in the past couple of weeks about the history of Whitehaven's and people's memories.
Mr Shackley said: "Name it & Shame it in Whitehaven was set up by popular demand. People were commenting on the other sites I had set up about the eyesores in Whitehaven. Some people have been posting photographs of places around the town that need developing."
Photographs of the former bus station, along with the YMCA building on Irish Street and the former Methodist church, on Lowther Street, have all been raised as concerns.
And while The Whitehaven News office on Queen Street has not yet been nominated, editor Colin Edgar states the building is due to get a new lick of paint soon!
Mr Shackley said that users of the Facebook group hope that their comments will get the message across that Whitehaven needs improving. There have also been talks about setting up a petition, although at the moment, nothing definite has been planned.
Mr Shackley says the next step is to create an independent website which will incorporate all of the information from across the groups on the social networking site. This will make it easier for people to access photographs, documents and written memories of the town. This may take around a month to complete.

Have your say
Naming & shaming in Whitehaven has many easy targets, sad to say, with Bus Station & empty plot opposite top of my (long) list. What is more worrying is that this may just cause more things to be demolished, closed or removed, with NOTHING being put in it's place that will improve Whitehaven for it's residents and visitors.
1) the old border construction offices on coach road. You know, where once upon a time asda was supposed to be built.
2) the bus station. In all honesty it's not 'an architectural gem'. It's a pigeon poo filled grot spot.
3) the ugly, impractical, oversized multi story car park. Who actually parks in there?
4) The park, former nightclub. Could have been open all these years, not sat there teasing us about the night life Whitehaven USED to have.
5) the badly planned,traffic congested and totally out of character mash up that is the whole morisons/McDonald's/sports centre area. Yeah, get your car in there, spend longer than you've spent looking in the shops, trying to get out.
6) that empty, good for nowt, bit of land opposite the Bransty arch.
7) we all know the Albion square thing will be on here in a few years time, sat empty.
8) the old abandoned church next to the newly abandoned civic hall.
9) those all singing, all dancing, council offices are ugly.
10) Hensingham square is looking a tad abandoned. Where's everyone gone? Not into town to do their shopping that's for sure.

For one month each fall, residents of interior Alaska don chest waders and splash through the clear, frigid water of the Chatanika River. With large homemade lanterns hanging from their necks and spears in their hands, the fishermen keep their eyes peeled for whitefish.
Lifelong Alaskan Cory Kuryla leads his best friend Dave Ensley and me down a dark forest trail.
"We make rookies take a bite out of the first fish they catch!" he says.

The plummeting mercury in Alaska this time of year doesn't keep bikers inside. More and more of them are heading to recreational trails and to the office on "fat bikes." They look like mountain bikes on steroids, with tires wider than most people's arms.
Kevin Breitenbach runs the bike shop at Beaver Sports in Alaska's second-largest city. Aboard a fat bike, he makes his way down a trail that winds through a forest as wet, quarter-sized snowflakes drop from the sky. Visibility is low, and the snow hides the roughest spots on the trail.

Nearly two dozen dog sledding teams set out a week ago on a thousand mile race over some of the most remote territory in North America. The mushers have reached the halfway mark in the race. They're now in the Canadian Yukon. And Emily Schwing of member station KUAC has been following the race since its start in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
Very exciting to see the progress being made on the major road rebuilding, including bike lanes, bridges and sidewalks. All crews seem to be really keeping delays down to a minimum and are keeping the work areas well organized.
These rebuilds will reflect on the quality of life and economy of The Valley for 50 to 100 years and cost has to be looked at with a very long-term perspective.
This is especially one of the major considerations why the voters approved removing power poles on Bridge Street making the small compact area look more open, less congested and more appealing to residents and visitors.
The need for the extension of the water system is something that should be supported and seems like the type of growth that follows successful projects.
The future relocation of the Waitsfield town office needs much more study and citizen input (hard to understand why the grant for a project that is so long term seems to include such a short window. This does not seem logical to me and is unacceptable).
I support voting in favor of the water bond and voting down the town office bond!

Ask questions before banning
As a result of the recent tragedy in Newtown, Conn., the administration is reviewing ways to curb such violence.
A major focus of this review has been on gun control. It is instructive to note that during the period from 1990 to 2010 the violent crime rate in the U.S. as reported by the FBI decreased by nearly 50 percent, while at the same time the number of weapons sold, background checks performed and concealed carry permits issued by states have all increased significantly.
Does increased legal gun availability lead to increased violent crime? The statistics say no, and possibly, it may have contributed to the decline. The violent crime rate for legal gun owners? Essentially zero.
For those who believe additional gun regulations are needed, several questions need to be honestly addressed before further restrictions are considered.
First, how will any new regulations assist in disarming criminals? Obviously, the problem is not with legal gun owners. Second, how will they prevent those with criminal intent from illegally obtaining weapons?
Third, how will the security of lawful citizens be preserved by reducing or eliminating gun availability? It is a fact that violent crime increases in countries which have banned or severely restricted civilian access to firearms (Australia and the United Kingdom, among others).
Fourth, since the vast majority of mass murders have been committed by mentally unstable individuals, will medical records for such persons become readily available as part of any background check process?
Fifth, will the wealthy and influential be allowed armed protection, either personally or by protective service, if severe restrictions are considered? If so, the restriction of firearms to citizens of lesser means then becomes a deadly discrimination, by denial of self defense to some while permitting it to others.
This time lets have an honest discussion, while ensuring that the legal rights granted by the Constitution are preserved, and historical facts are not ignored.

The Mad River (MR) 11-12 Little League All Star team earned the right to compete in the district tournament starting this weekend in Lyndonville by defeating the Waterbury/Montpelier (W/M) 4-3 on Friday, July 5, and besting Barre 8-1 on Monday night, July 8, at Couples Field.
Aiden Melville had a rough start on the hill against W/M with the second and third hitters stroking singles followed by the cleanup's double scoring the two. W/M jumped up 2-0.
Melville walked two in the second inning when the second batter drove in one with his second single of the game. In the bottom frame, Melville took one back on his own, reaching on a pass, stealing second and then taking third and home on passed balls. W/M 3-1.
In the third, Melville settled in setting down the W/M side in order. In the bottom, MR's Ethan Howes was hit by a pitch. Charlie Zschau reached on an error. Bobby Kelly reached on a fielder's choice with W/M retiring Nate Pierce (pinch-running for Howes) trying to score. MR's cleanup hitter, Chase Reagan, drove in Zschau and Kelly knotting the game 3-3.
In the fourth, Melville again set down the side with two Ks and some help from Kelly with a nice catch in center.
In the fifth, Melville allowed the third single from the hot hitting W/M second batsman but set down the side striking out the last batter just before reaching the Little League game pitch-count limit. In the bottom of the fifth, Kelly reached on an error and stole second. Kelly went to third when Reagan reached on an error, bringing Melville to the plate. Melville delivered a single scoring Kelly. Kelly came in to pitch in the sixth and retired the side in order with assistance from Brendan McGill in right with two nice catches. Final, MR 4, W/M 3.
On Monday, Barre, fresh off a win over Central Valley, squared off against MR. The winner would earn the right to move on to the district tourney. MR lead-off hitter Zschau got it started with a single and stole second, setting him up to score when Kelly ripped a liner to left for a single. Starting MR pitcher, Zschau, allowed a single in the bottom of the first but nothing more.
Bats on both sides were quiet in the second. In the third, MR's Nate Honeywell reached on a pass and Kelly stroked his second single, but both were marooned. In the bottom half, the eighth Barre batter reached on a walk, took second on a passed ball and scored on a single by the number three batter. Southpaw Zschau gave up another base on balls (BB) and single but got the number five batter to pop to first baseman Cameron Joslin for the final out. At the end of three it was knotted at 1-1.
Shortstop Melville led off the fourth for MR with a walk, quickly stole second and took third on a passed ball. He scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Honeywell. Zschau allowed a single and BB in the bottom but kept his composure and again pitched out of trouble.
The wheels came off in the fifth for Barre. Zschau led off the inning with his second single and pilfered second on the first pitch. Kelly took a fast ball thigh-high down the middle of the plate for a strike and then tomahawked an eye-high second pitch over the center field fence for a two-run dinger. Reagan followed with a sharp line shot down the left field line that was very nicely played to hold him to a single. Melville reached on a walk and Reagan scored when Honeywell beat out an infield hit. Zschau gave up a double in the bottom frame, but the runner was left stranded on base.
In the sixth, MR scored three. Kelly singled for his fourth hit of the game and scored from first when Reagan grounded to third and the throw went over the first baseman's head. Melville singled and stole second. Honeywell walked to load the bases. Joslin smacked a sharp single driving in Reagan and Melville. In the bottom of the sixth, Kelly took the hill and set Barre down with two Ks and a foul pop-up. Final score, MR 8, Barre 1.
MR will play Central Valley Wednesday night, July 10 (after press time), but will move on to district competition in Lyndonville this weekend.
The MR 11-12 All Stars are Charlie Zschau, Chase Reagan, Nate Pierce, Aiden Melville, Brendan McGill, Asher Martley, Hazel Macmillan, Bobby Kelly, Cam Joslin, Ethan Howes and Nate Honeywell.

How powerful is he, and what class would he be considered? Did he have anything he was using to amplify his powers, and if so how powerful was he on his own.
How powerful is he, and what class would he be considered? Did he have anything he was using to amplify his powers, and if so how powerful was he on his own.
My disappointment level with WoD is over 9000!!
But what kind of power scale ae we talking here. Illidan strong? Lich king strong? Maybe Only thrall strong?
My disappointment level with WoD is over 9000!!
was*, he's dead now
He was powerful enough to take control of the mogu empire, he was even powerful enough to take down a titan keeper on his own (how he did it is unknown).
After that, he had the power of thunder and lightning, able to rule all of Pandaria for a time.
To me he is just a power hungry fag. Fits the shaman indeed, some sort of mad elemental shaman.

Far more powerful than Azshara, but less powerful than the LK.
I would say almost Medivh and Queen Azahara level. Took his power from a titan Relic, then enslaved the titan keeper!

Lei-Shen is probably as powerful or more powerful than some of the Titan Watchers since he ripped out Ra-Den's heart when he fought him at the engine of Nak'Shala. He then went on to harvest Ra-Den's blood (Anima,) for god knows how long and imprisoned him, so he must be immensely powerful.
he's dead.
so he's about as powerful as a sharp stick
check out my latest podcast episode, I broke my ankle
Lore-wise the Thunder King trumps Lich King's power.
Before he even got most of his power, he subjugated Raden, and defeated the head of all the mogu clans. Then with the powers, he dueled and defeated Xuen the white tiger celestial. Then he dies of old age... yeah, the only time he died to someone else was when trolls came along (coincidence? I think not).
Sure he doesn't have the well built back story of most villains, but he's no laughing matter.
Powerful enough to be facerolled by 25 players, half of whom will claim to have been afk during the encounter.
ie, not very.

Lei Shen was only killed by the adventure, without any help or miracle. I don't see how Lei Shen can be more powerfull then LK

Rian, a 15-year-old South African lion, underwent surgery and is receiving chemotherapy for an aggressive cancer originating in his spleen. Veterinarians hope the treatment will extend and improve his quality of life while providing valuable information about how chemotherapy could help other zoo lions and large cats.
"We are very thankful for all the help and expertise CSU doctors continue to provide. Moving forward, this will be a very valuable relationship," said Denver Zoo Staff Veterinarian Dr. Betsy Stringer.
In mid-March, zookeepers noticed Rian acting significantly lethargic, prompting zoo veterinarians to perform a full physical examination, during which tests revealed a large mass in the lion's abdomen.
After exploratory surgery, further testing determined that Rian's spleen grew to that size because it was infiltrated with a type of cancer known as high-grade splenic lymphoma.

An 11-year-old Pennsylvania girl has already learned the joy of helping those in need.
When Jennifer Clifton, of South Whitehall Township, was planning her birthday party for earlier this month, she decided to ask her friends to donate to the children at KidsPeace in lieu of giving her presents.
The response was overwhelming, with $150 and two boxes of books collected for children on the Orchard Hills campus. One of her friends, whose mom used to work at KidsPeace, even wrote a personal note to accompany her gift.
Jennifer's mom, Gina Clifton, said her daughter has a history of helping organizations such as Goodwill and Children with Diabetes, and she also volunteers at school.
"She enjoys helping others," Clifton said. "But it was just her idea. It was the children and families who attended her party who really helped."
Though she has never been to our campus, Jennifer and her family feel a connection here. When she was 3, she was with her father when they were in a bad car accident. A KidsPeace employee donated a carseat since hers could no longer be used.

ELKIN - The Buckin' Elks summoned some late Homecoming magic to pull out an improbable 21-20 win over North Wilkes Friday night.
Trailing 20-7 in the fourth quarter, Kody King scored two touchdowns in the final seven minutes to give Elkin the thrilling one-point win on Homecoming night.
After North took a 20-7 lead on a 28-yard touchdown pass from L.J. Hendren to Josh Martin early in the final quarter - Hendren missed the extra point attempt - King and the Elks went to work.
King broke free on a 32-yard scoring run to jump start the comeback with 7:07 left on the clock.
Strickland then hit King on a two-yard strike to tie the game at 20-20 with 48 ticks remaining. Coley McCulloch drilled through the ensuing point after attempt for the game-winning score.
With the win, Elkin improved to 4-3 on the year and 3-2 in the Mountain Valley Conference. The Elks now sit atop the 1A standings, a half-game ahead of North (3-3) and West Wilkes (3-3).
Ekin ran for 265 yards against the Vikings, led by Jamiles Hayes' 115 yards. Strickland and King added 78 and 72 yards on the ground, respectively.
Strickland was limited through the air, throwing for 47 yards on 6-for-13 passing with one score and two picks.
Chris Hudspeth hauled in two catches for 31 yards with Hayes recording two catches for 10 yards.
North jumped out to a 14-0 lead, blanking Elkin in the first half.
Hayes got the Elks on the board when he darted through the Viking defense for a 63-yard score.

Austin Bond, a photographer from Murrells Inlet, has been chosen as the winner of Georgetown Countys third photo contest held this spring.
The theme for this contest was Flora and Fauna, and the contest received the most entries to date with a total of 24.
Bond, who is a youth pastor at Belin United Methodist Church, said he is honored to receive this award,
I just happen to live in this beautiful area and I am glad to have the opportunity to share it with the world, Bond said.
Winners were selected by a panel of county staff.
With several excellent entries, the voting was close.
Bond was named the winner for his entry featuring a bird eating a fish at Huntington Beach State Park.
He said he took the photograph one morning after dropping his kids off at school.
Sometimes I like to drive in and drive out and take shots on the way, Bond said.
It is funny. I always wanted to catch an egret or heron with a fish and this time I was there at the right time.
He lives in Murrells Inlet with his wife, Katharine, and their three children: Sierra, 10, Carolyn, 8, and Dakota, 4.
Bond also won the previous Georgetown County photo contest, and another of his entries in this contest, taken in the Oak Allee in Brookgreen Gardens, won the popular vote on the countys Facebook page.
For more information and photography from Bond, visit Austin Bond Photography on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Coming in a close second was Debbie Smith with a photo of a bird on Pawleys Island with the pier in the background.
Smith was not immediately available for comment.
A requirement for the contest was that entries be immediately identifiable as having been shot in Georgetown County.
The purpose of this contest is to engage the public and draw attention to the natural beauty, environmental diversity and recreational opportunities available in the county.
The contest was open to photographers at all levels of experience. All entries can be found on the countys
Facebook page.
The photos selected by the judges will be put on display in a county facility.
Winning photographers will receive prizes including a certificate for county Parks and Recreation programs.
Interest in these contests have grown and we are getting more entries each time, County Administrator Sel Hemingway said.
We look forward to more contests in the future.

PRO, Southview High School unveil more accessible home for local studentWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Val Taylor has spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy, epilepsy, asthma, glaucoma and spasmodic torticollis. And she's an inspiration to many at her high school and in the community.
So much so that her classmates at Southview High School dedicated their Dance 4 A Chance (D4AC) fundraiser to help her family make their home more handicap-accessible. D4AC was started in 2004 and has raised more than $150,000 since then. Every year, students identify an issue and work to raise awareness for that cause through their fundraiser.
"We identified Val as somebody we'd really like to help," said Dave McMurray, principal of Southview High School.
Back in September, Toledo Free Press reported the only door Val's wheelchair could fit through was the front door, and whenever she wanted to leave the living room, her parents had to carry her.
"Our circumstances weren't the best," said Veronica, Val's mother.
Students raised more than $30,000 during this year's D4AC. They called the outcome Project HAVEN, standing for "Home Accessibility for Val's Exceptional Needs."
"We looked at her house and we wanted to make it a much better place," McMurray said.
But the school didn't stop there. They contacted the Professional Remodelers Organization (PRO).
"We were approached by Southview High School one week shy of a year ago and they asked us if we could do anything for the family," said Executive Director Rick Morel. "We went planning from there, trying to decide how to do it."
The organization then announced this case would be the year's recipient of its annual President's Project, which connects remodelers to community projects.
Veronica was scared to get her hopes up on the plans.
"They came to me and I said, 'Well, okay. But I'm not going to get real excited because things don't always work out for us,''' she said. "But here we are."
But since the house had a faulty foundation, Morel saw it would be no easy task.
"We thought we could just add on to their original home," he said. "We made the joint decision that it had to be torn down and we'd have to start from scratch."
PRO, formerly known as the Toledo Home Remodelers Association, is made up of local businesses that specialize in home improvement.
This is the second largest project PRO has been a part of, the first one occurring in 2010 called the Garcia Project. Morel said it wasn't "nearly as intricate as this one was."
Sixty-five days of work later, at the President's Project Reveal Celebration on Nov. 9, the Taylor family returned to their now brand new home. In an event that included extended family members, neighbors, teachers, classmates and Southview cheerleaders, the family was welcomed, not unlike the television show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
With the cheerleaders chanting "People in the know always call a pro (the PRO slogan)," Val, Veronica and father Tom made their way to the red ribbon, which Val cut herself.
"Words cannot even express how I'm feeling right now," Veronica said. "I'm overwhelmed, overjoyed. I couldn't believe that there was this many people here. It is completely unbelievable."
The new house is an increase in square footage, from 540 to 1,533, Morel said. It also now has a paved driveway, a great room, a bedroom for Val with a bathroom and a room for Val's parents.
"Val's exceptional needs: this house is going to meet them," said PRO President David Rumpf at the event. "This family is going to be so comfortable here."
Rumpf, who is self-employed, was so busy that he became unavailable to clients during the time it took to build the house, Morel said.
"There's not a whole lot of people who can do that; it was just amazing." Morel said.
Taking all supplies and volunteer labor into account, the total cost of the project is easily more than $150,000, Morel said.
"We had over 100 companies and individuals combine efforts to get this done," Morel said.
The event concluded with Rumpf handing over the keys to the house, an emotional moment for Val's parents.
"It's a reality," Veronica said. "Everything we've talked about has really come true. This is ours now."
McMurray thanked everyone for their support.
"You've made a difference in one of the best students that we have at Southview High School," he said. "And I can say she's one of the best students because she has never been to my office in trouble."
