PRESTONSBURG — Members of the Brothers of the Wheel motorcycle club were busy on Black Friday, but instead of shopping, they were trying to catch shoppers on their way to the store, to raise money for children in need.
PRESTONSBURG — As they have each of the past 11 years, members of the Eastern Kentucky Chapter of the Brothers of the Wheel motorcycle club donned Santa hats along with their leather biker jackets and boots, as they stood at the entrance to the Walmart shopping center on Nov. 23, 2012, seeking donations for their annual shoe and toy drive for needy children from Black Friday shoppers.
According to club vice president Ballard Plummer, however, donations were much slower than in past years.
"About every four or five cars, you might get a dollar," Plummer said. "But every little bit helps. Pennies make dollars."
Plummer said donations were down significantly this year, by perhaps as much as 75 percent. Part of the problem was a matter of the local economy, he said, with many families hit by coal mining layoffs simply unable to afford to give.
Still, Plummer said those who are familiar with the group's shoe and toy drive were giving what they could, especially those who might have relied on help in past years. He said in a lot of cases, it was the people who least afford to give who were among the most faithful donors.
"People who are unemployed or whose car doors won't open, they're the ones giving the most," Plummer said.
But another reason, he said, is that many retailers moved their biggest sales to Thanksgiving night, rather than the traditional day after. Plummer, who is a founding member of the local chapter and has been collecting donations every Black Friday for the past 12 years, said there simply was not as much traffic on Black Friday this year from which to draw donations.
"Walmart really killed us this year," Plummer said. "People were out here shopping last night, and they're just not here today."
The Eastern Kentucky Chapter of Brothers of the Wheel is based in Dwale. The club, which has chapters in Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia, can be found online at http://www.botwmc.com.

While exporting iGoogle feeds to OPML could be used if you want to move your feeds to another service, importing feeds from an OPML file is a good way to add a large number of feeds to iGoogle.
Here's how you can import the feeds from an OPML file to iGoogle:
1. Obtain an OPML file from your feed reader or personalized homepage:
* Google Reader lets you export your subscriptions in the Settings (direct link to the OPML file)
* Bloglines has a link in the main interface: "Export Subscriptions"
* in Netvibes you have to click on Add content > Add a feed > Export
* My Yahoo has a difficult-to-find OPML file
* Windows Live lets you export your subscriptions in the advanced options
* to export Firefox's live bookmarks, install an extension.
I only tested the script with the OPML files exported by Google Reader, Bloglines, Netvibes, My Yahoo and Windows Live Personalized Homepage, so the conversion might not work for other feed readers.
2. Open the OPML file in a text editor and copy all the content below. (If you are concerned about sharing private data, you should know that this is just a client-side script that doesn't store your data and it doesn't send it to a third-party service.)
3. What you got is the content that needs to be added at the bottom of iGoogle's settings file. Log in to your Google account, go to iGoogle's settings page and scroll to the Export / Import section. Click on "Export" to download iGoogle-settings.xml, a file that contains a list of all your gadgets, feeds and their settings. Don't close the iGoogle settings page because you'll need to import the file later.
4. Backup your iGoogle settings file. Create a copy of the iGoogle-settings.xml file, just in case something goes wrong. You'll be able to import the settings and go back to a working iGoogle.
5. Open iGoogle-settings.xml in a text editor and add the text obtained at the step #2 before the line that contains </GadgetTabML> (the last non-blank line), like you see in the screenshot.
6. Save the file and import it to iGoogle settings, in the Export / Import section.
All folders from the OPML file should be converted to iGoogle tabs, which can be renamed and reordered in the settings. iGoogle doesn't save the state of an item (read/unread) and only lets you see up to 9 recent items from a feed, but it's a great dashboard for your feeds.

Tempe 'A' turns Navy blue
It's pretty customary for football fans visiting Tempe to scale up 'A' Mountain just west of Sun Devil Stadium with paint brushes and rollers in hand to turn the normally gold letter to their own school colors.
It's not customary for that to happen when there's not a football game going on in Tempe.
That didn't stop fans of Navy, who "customized" the 'A' to their own liking in advance of Saturday's Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco, which marks the first-ever meeting between the two teams on the gridiron.

News Detail
Kent State's College of Public Health Hosts the 71st Human Services Institute, March 25Posted Mar. 15, 2013
The 71st Human Services Institute, Northeast Ohio's longest-running institute focused on health and human services, comes to Kent State University from 10 a.m. to noon on March 25 in the Kent Student Center Kiva.
This year's keynote speaker is Barbara Edwards, director of the Disabled and Elderly Health Programs Group (DEHPG) at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). She will be presenting on the topic "Health Reform: Opportunities, Challenges and Uncertainties." The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
Edwards is a nationally recognized expert in Medicaid policy, including managed care, cost containment, long-term care, and state and federal health care reform. She served for eight years as the Ohio State Medicaid Director and was a principal with Health Management Associates, Inc. (HMA) for four years. At HMA, Edwards focused on Medicaid, national health reform and service delivery for persons with chronic and disabling conditions.
CMS administers the Medicare, Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance programs for the federal government. DEHPG houses Medicaid coverage and care coordination for the elderly and individuals with disabilities. This includes initiatives to promote community-based care options and to enhance the availability of long-term services and supports. The group manages the Medicaid prescription drug benefit and manufacturer rebates and oversees benefits issues across the Medicaid program.
Ken Slenkovich, assistant dean of Kent State's College of Public Health, helped organize the event.
"This is the 71st anniversary for this event put on by the Center for Community Solutions (CCS) in Cleveland," Slenkovich said. "The CCS is a major community partner of the college. It's the first time they've held this event in Kent. Since we're bringing in a speaker from the federal government that is deeply involved with the health care reform bill, we see it as a way to get some exposure for the College of Public Health and inform the university and external communities about how the bill will impact them."
Following the keynote address, panel presentations will be made by:
Marcia Egbert
Senior Program Officer for Human Services
The George Gund Foundation
Joan Englund
Executive Director
Mental Health Advocacy Coalition
Joseph Ruby
President and CEO
Area Agency on Aging
Heather Torok

After almost two weeks since the last post about the new Gmail interface, you can now try it. Open Gmail and you should see a message at the bottom of the page that invites you to "switch to the new look".
Gmail's new look is based on the "Preview" theme, but it's much more than a theme. There are a lot of changes: Contacts and Tasks are now included in a drop-down menu below the Gmail logo, buttons like Archive or Label are only displayed when you select at least one message, there's a new settings menu that lets you change the display density, gadgets and the chat box are now resizable, there's a new interface for conversations, advanced search options are now displayed when you click the arrow in the search box and you can try HD themes.
For now, you can switch to the old interface from the settings menu, but Google says that this option will be removed soon.

A bright idea: Can mindfulness training curb winter blues'?By Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | December 30,2012Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Dr. Arnie Kozak, a Burlington-based psychologist, is teaching the public about winter blues through classes at his Exquisite Mind Studio.Many of the estimated 10 percent of Vermonters who suffer from seasonal depression try to beat the winter blues with sunshine or full-spectrum light bulbs.
They havent met Dr. Arnie Kozak. He wants to turn them on to an even brighter idea.
The Burlington-based psychologist has served as one of three lead therapists on a groundbreaking University of Vermont study investigating the effectiveness of trading negative thoughts for a more positive mindset to improve a persons mental and physical well-being.
Experts commonly treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by exposing patients to more light. But Kozak working under UVM associate professor Kelly Rohan, one of the nations foremost researchers of SAD has offered cognitive behavioral therapy to discover whether changing ones attitudes and actions can ease winter sluggishness, sadness and craving for comfort foods.
Rohans unprecedented research, funded by a $2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health, is finding that lightening ones attitude is just as effective as special bulbs and ultimately more helpful for preventing future bouts. Thats why, after helping with the study the past three winters, Kozak is sharing its mindfulness concepts in public classes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy skills are portable, Kozak says. You can carry them for the rest of your life and you dont need to sit in front of an expensive light box every day.
Kozak has focused on the mind since 1985, when he took vows from the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, India. Practicing meditation and yoga, hes now a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at UVMs College of Medicine and a lecturer at its College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Such teaching allowed him to meet Rohan, a clinical psychologist who has built a career studying ways to melt the winter blues.
SAD is a depression believed linked to a lack of sunlight and its effect on the part of the brain that controls ones sleep, mood and motivation. As days grow darker in the fall and winter, people can feel sad, worthless or unfocused, lose energy and enthusiasm and face shifts in their sleeping or eating patterns, often craving carbohydrates.
After three previous studies found promise with cognitive behavioral therapy, Rohan began UVMs now concluding five-year study. Volunteers have traveled to Burlington for six weeks of free treatment. Some have sat 18 inches in front of full-spectrum bulbs (screened of ultraviolet rays) each morning for at least 30 minutes. Others have talked regularly with therapists.
As part of the UVM study, Kozak gathered groups twice a week for a dozen 1½-hour sessions based on Rohans Coping with the Seasons treatment guidelines.
What we think and do can make a difference in how we feel, Kozak says. The aim is to make us more aware of our thoughts and behaviors and then to try to shift them.
Wake on a cold, dark day and you may just want to hibernate.
People tend to do less or cycle or shut down, Kozak says. We engage in a process of monitoring, identifying and challenging those thoughts and behaviors. Attention and awareness can give you options.
This isnt ducking or denying.
Were not trying to paper over anything or act like Pollyanna. Its training to be more skillful with thoughts and actions. While we cant change winter, we can change our relationship to it.
So instead of surrendering under the covers, one can choose to get up, get out and embrace healthier alternatives such as regular exercise and a diet high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
Rohan has yet to finalize the studys findings. But researchers can confirm that people treated with cognitive behavioral therapy coped better over time than those simply given more light.
Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the man who coined the term SAD and literally wrote the book on it (Winter Blues: Everything You Need to Know to Beat Seasonal Affective Disorder) notes Rohans efforts in his paperbacks latest revision: Preliminary results are so encouraging that they are definitely worth a good look, especially since they lead to specific steps that people with SAD can take to alleviate their suffering.
Thats good news for the 10 percent of Vermonters who experience full seasonal depression and another 20 percent who face lesser symptoms. And thats why Kozak now finishing a third book of his own, Mindfulness A to Z: 108 Insights for Awakening Now, for national publication next year is about to start teaching public courses on winter blues as detailed on his website, exquisitemind.com.
People want a quick fix they want a pill, they want a light box, Kozak says. We try to revise our thoughts. Thats a skill you can take home and use in relationships, work, all aspects of your life.

Heart smart: good for every (body) part
If what you're eating is good for your heart, it's good for your whole body. So says Ashley Cobb, a dietician in Summerville Medical Center's Nutrition Therapy Department. As an attractive, slim and well-toned young lady, she's a great example of practicing what she preaches. In fact she says "preaching helps me practice it!"
I first met Ashley a couple of months ago when I started Cardiac Rehab at SMC. This excellent three-month program is for people who've had a heart event and can benefit by 90 days of learning how to best live with the situation including—most definitely – how to best feed it. Meeting three days a week, participants are led by caring nurses and exercise physiologist to help plan and closely monitor tailored exercises. Two of these days also include classes. Some are taught by nurses who increase our knowledge about the heart and how to help prevent any medical recurrence, as well as by a dietician to help us learn the best tactics. These include limiting bad fats, sugar and salt as well as adopting –and adapting – recipes for accomplishing the same thing.
She wanted to work in the medical field and became interested in nutrition watching a dietician friend preparing healthy meals. Ashley wanted a medical involvement that was practical on a day-to-day basis. The answer was food. "We all have a relationship with food," she says. "And for all of us, what we eat affects our health."
Her job intrigues and pleases her now as people start to enjoy eating healthy and making good changes. She says she's fortunate enough to be in an environment where she can see that happen. "We see the beginning picture of what they're eating and doing and three months later we see the ending picture. Maybe they've lost an inch or two off their waistline; maybe they're eating oatmeal more often; maybe their cholesterol levels have come down. That's wonderful progress. I love the relationships that we build around here. You're not just someone I see just once or twice and we create friendships and we know what you're working on and can follow up."
Ashley distributes a taste-tested recipe each week and it's hard to decide which one to share, so I hope to begin with one today and give out more periodically. In the meantime you can select for yourself from one of her favorite websites: www.mayoclinic.com/health/dash-diet-recipes/REO0O89.
Since just about every eating plan emphasizes salads and just about everybody likes vinaigrette and just about everybody could do with a little less salt, let's start with:
½ cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 tablespoon salt free Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Whisk together the ingredients. Let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving.
This is a rich tasting full bodied dressing to grace any vegetable salad.
Coming up will be such things as pasta with a creamy alfredo-like sauce and pizza with a cauliflower crust. (Yes cauliflower! Don't knock it till you try it!).Also on the menu will be salmon with an avocado mango salsa, along with recommendations for other salsas – how to make them, how to freeze them, and in what different ways you can use them. Then of course, there are PBOOO Cookies.
Stay tuned.

Celebrating its 100th anniversary on Nov. 24, Saints Delight Pentecostal Holiness Church opened its doors to welcome in the next century with more than 400 people in attendance.
The church was founded in 1913 by Rev. P.Z. Pet McKenzie. One hundred years later, David McKenzie said his great uncle, Patrick Zachariah, known as Pet McKenzie, pastored at the church for three years.
Rev. Chris Browder, who has led Saints Delight since April 2002, said the
church has been in the same location and in 1913 the land was given to the
The three buildings of the church take in the Wood church, which was the first church, the Block church was built in 1962, 49 years after the Wood Church while the Brick church was built in July 1997, 37 years after the Block Church and 84 years after the Wood Church.
We are a very diverse church, Browder said. We have Catholics, Episcopalians, Southern Baptists, Church of God, all different walks here and this is a strong area of Evangelicals. The Sunday congregation is usually close to 200 and depends on the season.
Browder explained the anniversarys main focus included all three phases of this church, Wood, Block and Brick, with characters in skits portraying P.Z. the founding pastor and others as well as a slide show of family members throughout the years and songs.
The presiding bishop of this denomination, Dr. Doug Beacham was the keynote speaker and the South Carolina Conference Bishop, Greg Amos, attended and the oldest living member, Mary Lambert, also spoke.
Lambert, 92, said she moved to the area in 1943. She started teaching the youth class in 1955 until she retired.
Id do it again, she said, adding I am ready for God to take me home.
According to Browder, theres not a house in this community that hasnt been affected by this church, either a funeral or a need, or whatever.
This church is a lighthouse for this community, it is the beacon for Lamberttown and 60-70 percent of this community attend this church.
Browder wrote in the book about the church, Celebrating 100 Years of Service, which was published in July, that Saints Delight has been blessed to function as a church with open arms and open hearts for 100 years. The book was given out to each household on Nov. 24.
May we approach our future in three ways, first, that Gods Word will always be the foundation of this church, second that we must be Empowered by His Spirit and third, that we leave a footprint for those behind us to follow, Browder said.
My prayer for this church as we, look at our past, live in the present, and long for the future, is that we understand all the benefits we enjoy today have come through hard work, prayer and dedication, he said.
Among those sharing their recollections of the church in the book are David McKenzie, Clara Mae Cooper and Elvie Lee who shared memories of the Wooden Church while Betty Jo Hanser, Bernard Sims, Penny Cox and Patricia Ward related memories of the Block Church. Sharing memories of the Brick Church are Della Anne Lambert; Chad Lambert, Corbett Britt and his wife, Joanie Britt and Rosalie Cooper.
A commemorative coin signifying the occasion was distributed to everyone who attended.

CRESTVIEW — Spurred by a strong defensive effort the Crestview boys basketball team took a 50-43 win over District 1-7A rival Fort Walton Beach on Tuesday.
First-year Bulldog coach Greg Watson was pleased with his team's effort on both on both ends of the court.
"We played well defensively," he said. "We held them to 43. Effort wise we did a good job.
"Coach (John) Lavin does a great job (with the Vikings). They play hard defensively. It was tough for us to score as well."
Ronnie Baylark opened the scoring for Crestview 28 seconds into the game as the Bulldogs took an early 2-0 lead. Baskets wouldn't come so easy the rest of the quarter.
Back-to-back scores by Marquese Davenport and Chris Bowden gave the Vikings a lead they held most of the first quarter.
The biggest Viking lead of the game was five points at 8-3 after a Trace Ryan basket with 4:02 left in the period.
Crestview tied the game at 11-11 on a Jerry Aaron basket with 21 seconds left in the opening period. The Vikings answered with basket from Jack Bristot as the first quarter ended.
Marcelle Moorer and Rusty Moorer sparked a 10-2 Bulldog rally to start the second quarter. A Baylark basket with 5:38 left in the half put Crestview up 17-15 and the Bulldogs wouldn't trail again.
Israel Black did his best to keep the Vikings (6-3, 1-2) close in the second period as he scored eight of his game-high 19 points.
But Black was just one man and as he carried the load for Fort Walton Beach the Bulldogs (6-1, 2-0) had seven players score in the period.
Crestview led 32-22 at the half and increased the lead to 31-29 after three.
Black made another gutsy effort to pull the Vikings back into the game in the fourth quarter as he scored seven more points. Fort Walton Beach was able to cut the Bulldog lead to five points with 2:56 left in the game, but it wasn't enough.
Davenport scored 10 points to join Black in double figures for the Vikings.
Baylark topped Crestview with 16 points. Marcelle Moorer scored eight. Rusty Moorer scored six points as did Wesley St. Vill.

- Correlations (1)

- UrQMD (1)
- Multi-particle interactions within the UrQMD approach (2011)
- A mechanism for locally density-dependent dynamic parton rearrangement and fusion has been implemented into the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) approach. The same mechanism has been previously built in the Quark Gluon String Model (QGSM). This rearrangement and fusion approach based on parton coalescence ideas enables the description of multi-particle interactions, namely 3 -> 3 and 3 -> 2, between (pre)hadronic states in addition to standard binary interactions. The UrQMD model (v2.3) extended by these additional processes allows to investigate implications of multi-particle interactions on the reaction dynamics of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The mechanism, its implementation and first results of this investigation are presented and discussed.
- HBT radii from the UrQMD transport approach at different energies (2011)
- We present results on Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii extracted from the Ultra-relativistic Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) approach to relativistic heavy ion collisions. The present investigation provides a comparison of results from pure hadronic transport calculations to a Boltzmann + Hydrodynamic hybrid approach with an intermediate hydrodynamic phase. For the hydrodynamic phase different Equations of State (EoS) have been employed, i.e. bag model, hadron resonance gas and a chiral EoS. The influence of various freeze-out scenarios has been investigated and shown to be negligible if hadronic rescatterings after the hydrodynamic evolution are included. Furthermore, first results of the source tilt from azimuthal sensitive HBT and the direct extraction from the transport model are presented and exhibit a very good agreement with E895 data at AGS.
- Implications on the collision dynamics via azimuthal sensitive HBT from UrQMD : the Seventh Workshop on Particle Correlations and Femtoscopy, September 20 - 24 2011, University of Tokyo, Japan (2011)
- We explore the shape and orientation of the freezeout region of non-central heavy ion collisions. For this we fit the freezeout distribution with a tilted ellipsoid. The resulting tilt angle is compared to the same tilt angle extracted via an azimuthally sensitive HBT analysis. This allows to access the tilt angle experimentally, which is not possible directly from the freezeout distribution. We also show a systematic study on the system decoupling time dependence on dNch/dh, using HBT results from the UrQMD transport model. In this study we found that the decoupling time scales with (dNch/dh)1/3 within each energy, but the scaling is broken across energies.
- Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometry within the UrQMD transport approach (2013)
- In this thesis, Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry is used together with the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) to analyse the time and space structure of heavy-ion collisions. The first chapter after the introduction gives an overview of the different types of models used in the field of heavy-ion collisions and a introduction of the UrQMD model in more detail. The next chapter explains the basics of Hanbury-Brown-Twiss correlations, including azimuthally sensitive HBT (asHBT). Results section: 4. Charged Multiplicities from UrQMD 5. Formation time via HBT from pp collisions at LHC 6. HBT analysis of Pb+Pb collisions at LHC energies 7. HBT scaling with particle multiplicity 8. Compressibility from event-by-event HBT 9. Tilt in non-central collisions 10. Shape analysis of strongly-interacting systems 11. Measuring a twisted emission geometry This thesis covers the standard integrated HBT analyses, extracting the Pratt-Bertsch radii, at LHC energies. The analyses at these energies showed a too soft expansion in UrQMD probably related to the absence of a partonic phase in UrQMD. The most promising results in this thesis at these energies are the restriction of the formation time to a value smaller than 0.8 fm/c and furthermore, the results from the asHBT analyses. In simulations of non-central heavy-ion collisions at energies of Elab= 6, 8 and 30 AGeV the validity of the formulae to calculate the tilt angle via asHBT has been checked numerically, even for the case of non-Gaussian, flowing sources. On this basis has been developed and test in the course of this thesis that allows to measure a scale dependent tilt angle experimentally. The signal should be strongest at FAIR energies.

Bigfoot's a black belt with very good top control and Hunt's a limited fighter.
This shouldn't be a hard pick for anyone other than fanboys. (I like Mark Hunt just have never seen him as a "killer," just more like a guy who keeps coming forward using that incredible chin to wear you out until he lands the big 1-2)
"I declined the fight," Hunt told Ariel Helwani on Monday's episode of The MMA Hour. "I wanted a different opponent. I didn't want to fight the fight because he's an ATT member.
"Not only that," Hunt elaborated, "the same thing happened with Cheick Kongo. We worked together before. Like I said before, though, I'm an employee of the company. It's just what we do for work. Business aside, we'll still be friends, say hi, this and that. That's the way it is."
Part of the reason Hunt was able to ultimately accept the bout aside from business considerations is the distance between he Bigfoot, both figuratively and literally. Hunt has conducted most of his recent camps in his native New Zealand. As the PRIDE veteran explains, he's mostly at peace with things because of how long it's been since they shared sparring time together.
"It was a while ago. I've had my last four camps in New Zealand. It was a while ago," Hunt recalled.
"The thing about that," Hunt notes, "when I was working with Bigfoot, I was training for Stefan Struve in Japan in the states, in Vegas, and because of Bigfoot I found out how bad my leg was. It was My PCL. He was kicking it. That's how I realized. It was good. Then I had to pull out of that fight a week out, which is really disgusting."
Hunt notes it was training with Bigfoot that compelled him to get checked up by a doctor who basically told him he only had three working ligaments in his knee.
"I don't think it was getting the better of who, just us training. That's all it is. I don't look at it as anything other than trying to better myself. You're there trying to better the other guy. Get a different level of fitness, different level of learning. It's never a competition for me against the other person. Just trying to make myself a little better."
Hunt is also careful to not criticize Bigfoot for his most recent loss, a brutal stoppage at the hands of Cain Velasquez in May. "It's the fight game and everyone loses," Hunt observed. "You win some, you lose some.You just try to get back up on the horse."
That's precisely what Hunt himself is trying to do. He, too, is coming off of a loss, having most recently been stopped by strikes at the hands (and feet) of Junior dos Santos in May as well.
Hunt isn't exactly happy about having to face off against someone he shared training time with and who also waves the ATT flag, but at 39 years of age and headlining a card in Australia against a top-ranked opponent, he's delighted he gets his chance to put himself back in title contention talk.
"The thing about it is, it's a real blessing," Hunt said. "I'm thankful to the UFC for actually giving me this opportunity especially coming off of getting topped up by JDS in Vegas. I really thankful Dana and them gave me this opportunity.
"Again, it's a big step for me. Bigfoot's number four in the world. I'm not even in the top 10, I don't think. I'm blessed. I'm thankful UFC has given me this opportunity to do battle again and get back in the upper echelon."

STATE PLAYOFFS: Half-dozen area teams vie for Elite Eight Friday
And then there were six.
Three girls' and three boys' teams enter the Sweet 16 of the N.C. High School Athletic Association basketball tournament Friday, Feb. 28, including at least two distinct favorites in No. 2 4-A boys' seed Northern and undefeated No. 1 3-A girls' seed Chapel Hill.
No. 1 3-A boys' seed Orange would normally be in that group, but the Panthers' home game against No. 9 Eastern Alamance appears to be more of a toss-up because of the presence of Eastern Alamance's standout point guard, Lamont Robinson. Robinson, a 5-7 dynamo who averages better than 25 points and seven rebounds a game, took Eastern to the state Elite Eight last year before falling to eventual state champ Oxford Webb and current UNC freshman Isaiah Hicks.
Robinson's ballhandling, passing and scoring talents tend to offset many top teams' best attributes. He's a Mount St. Mary's signee.
Also in the toss-up category are No. 13 3-A boys' seed Southern and No. 5 4-A girls' seed Hillside.
Southern will travel to Shallotte to meet No. 5 West Brunswick. Southern's riding a rising tide and would likely be a slight favorite except that it's playing on the road.
Hillside devastated Broughton 90-64 in the second round when junior star Justine Lyon posted a career-best 42 points, while senior Zuri White flashed gaudy 25-point, 26-rebound numbers against the Caps.
Hillside travels to Graham to meet No. 4 seed Southern Alamance tonight. If the Hornets hit their shots, particularly inside and on the break, and keep turnovers to a minimum, it wouldn't surprise anyone to see them move on to the East Regional semifinals next week in Fayetteville.
Only 3-A girls' No. 19 seed Riverside is a decided underdog, the Pirates traveling to Fayetteville to meet No. 6 seed E.E. Smith. But the Pirates have won their two opening round games when many people didn't think they would and they have the talent — including 6-3 junior Moné Jones, a 4-star national recruiting target in the middle — to get the job done.
Looking down the road, the East Regional semifinals that could involve area teams will all be played at Fayetteville's Crown Coliseum next week at either 7 p.m. or 8:30 p.m.
The 3-A girls' semis (Elite Eight) will be played Tuesday night, the 3-A boys' semis on Wednesday, the 4-A girls' semis on Thursday and the 4-A boys' semis on Friday.
If Southern and Orange win tonight, they will play each other Wednesday.
Riverside and Hillside are in different East Region pods (think East and Mideast, though the pods aren't named) and wouldn't meet unless and until they won in the regional semifinals.
The East Regional title games are all scheduled for Saturday, March 8 at Crown Coliseum. The 3-A girls open at noon, the 3-A boys play at 2 p.m., the 4-A girls at 4 p.m. and the 4-A boys at 6 p.m.
NOTE — One area playoff result was not available in time Wednesday night for Thursday's paper. In that one, No. 1 1-A Mideast seed Neuse Charter eliminated the No. 8 Mideast seed Granville Central boys 73-36.
NCHSAA East Regional Quarterfinals
All games scheduled Friday, Feb. 28
No. 7 Apex (19-7) at No. 2 Northern (26-2), 7 p.m.
No. 9 Eastern Alamance (23-4) at No. 1 Orange (24-5), 7 p.m.
No. 13 Southern (17-10) at No. 5 Shallotte West Brunswick (19-7), 7 p.m.
No. 5 Hillside (22-5) at No. 4 Graham Southern Alamance (23-3), 7 p.m.
No. 19 Riverside (18-8) at No. 6 Fayetteville E.E. Smith (20-5), 7 p.m.
No. 9 Northern Guilford (21-5) at No. 1 Chapel Hill (28-0), 7 p.m.

Rabid fan base: Mike 'Mad Dog' Adams contributes to summer Red Cross benefit CDWritten by Sanya Ali | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Mike "Mad Dog" Adams has enjoyed a successful 40-year musical career and, with this year's 35th anniversary of the Put-in-Bay regular's show at the Round House, he's looking for a change of pace.
"Lots of guys put out CDs frequently," Adams said. "I find working in the studio to be very tedious. I like to get the direct response back from the audience immediately. That's what I've done all my life."
With his donation of a track to this year's American Red Cross benefit CD "Red, White & You, Too!" Adams feels he has contributed to something great.
"It's nice to be able to help out something like Red Cross," Adams said. "I also donated a guitar to the Red Cross [that was auctioned off in July]."
The $10 benefit CD is available at all area Frisch's Big Boy and Ralphie's restaurants.
Adams' song, "Sundown Friday Evening," is from an album he released 10 years ago. He said his father, who was a steelworker in Cleveland, inspired the tune.
"I was trying to capture the spirit or feeling of what it's like for people who are on their way to the island or anywhere when you're getting away on the weekend," Adams said. "Leaving work behind, troubles behind, going to the island."
In the past year, Adams has traveled extensively, going as far away as Ireland to visit a pocket of fans. He also hosts an hour-long radio show once a week for WPCR in Port Clinton.
Looking forward, Adams wants to release another album.
"I do all kinds of things but primarily I'm a performer," he said. "I've done two comedy projects and I've done four to five music projects. I don't do [records] frequently, but I'm due for one."
Adams said he hopes his fans take the time to appreciate life and not worry about minor inconveniences.
"My philosophy of life: Live. Every day above ground is a good day," he said.
Adams also wants success to follow this and other charity projects.
"Let's get some of these local artists from Toledo heard and generate some money for the Red Cross," Adams said.

NICEVILLE — A step up in competition hasn't slowed down former Crestview High School softball player Hannah Day.
Day, a 2012 CHS graduate, now displays her talents at Northwest Florida State College, where she is among the Raiders' leaders in every offensive category. The team has a 32-10 record and tops the Panhandle Conference standings with a 4-2 mark.
'Knocking the cover off the ball'
Day was leading the Raiders in runs batted in and was tied for the team lead in home runs going into last Thursday's doubleheader against Tallahassee Community College. She also was among the top three in batting average, runs scored, hits and slugging percentage.
Her .463 batting average is even more impressive, considering she has caught almost every game for Northwest Florida State, which means she's been behind the plate for both ends of a doubleheader.
"Hannah's probably one of the most dedicated players we have right now," Raider coach Jack Byerly said. "She's a good leader out there. She's aggressive and she hustles.
"And the way she's been hitting it lately — are you kidding me? She's been knocking the cover off the ball."
Day is just as happy to be at Northwest Florida State as Byerly is to have her.
"It's been a great experience," she said. "I love my team. I love playing with them. They are a great group of girls, and I know we can go far with them. They just have the heart — it's all there."
Day said it helps that former Crestview teammate Shelby Gainer is on the team, along with former Fort Walton Beach High School rivals Jenn Phillips and Jaime Phillips.
Considering her options
Even after putting stellar numbers for Crestview in the tough District 2-6A, Day wasn't sure how well she would do when she took the step up in competition.
"I didn't know I'd come out and do this well my first year," she said. "I was a little nervous when he (Byerly) put me in the three spot (in the batting order). I'm getting a more comfortable there, and it feels good.
"I've never had the experience like catching conference doubleheaders before ... It's a learning process, and I do like my coach tells me — and I love it."
Day said the biggest adjustments have been in learning how to call the game as the catcher, being selective with the pitches she wants to hit and avoiding stress in tough situations.
Byerly said there's no great secret to Day's success.
"She works hard," he said. "She comes in there and takes extra hitting. She catches everybody in the bullpen.
"She just works. If you can find anybody that works harder than that — holy smokes."
Day said she would consider leaving Northwest Florida State at the end of the season if a beneficial softball opportunity at a four-year school was available.
However, right now, she's sees herself in a win-win situation.
"I'm just looking to see what's out there," Day said. "If I have to stay here another year and get myself out there even more, I will. But I love playing here and I can't wait to move on to the next level."

I think you have lost sight of one of the prettiest dresses Michelle has worn since her husband became the 44th President of this country. I do not know who the designer was, but I will try to describe the time and place that I saw her wearing it.
When Michelle and the President visited Paris for the first time, during President Sarkosey's (sp?) early part of his time in office, Michelle is seen getting out of a limo wearing one of the smartest dresses she has worn during President Obama's entire time he has been in office, inauguration day included. It was a little black dress, with a fitted waist line dropped below the waist (if I remember correctly), with a flared skirt, sleeveless, and just absolutely stunning. Why has no one ever commented on this dress. I lucked out when I was streaming and the video was featured. Instead they rave about dresses she has worn, which in my opinion have been big bores. I also like it when she teams her outfits with the appropriate jewelry. Another beauty was the emerald green gown she wore recently, at the 2013 Kennedy Honors Happening; this was another favorite of mine. Everything was so suitable (i.e.: Hair, make-up, jewelry, etc.) whoever helped get her together that evening should get a bonus. Michelle should use this person all the time.

Civitas News Service
Food City and Operation UNITE will partner up this weekend to collect and safely dispose of unwanted or unused medications as part of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day.
On Saturday April 27 six Food City Pharmacy locations in five counties will accept medications from residents between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is no charge for this service.
UNITE Coalition members, along with law enforcement officials, will staff drop-off locations at Food City stores at the following locations:
• 330 North Mayo Trail, Paintsville (Johnson County)
• 2138 South Mayo Trail, Pikeville (Pike County)
• 28093 Thompson Plaza, South Williamson (Pike County)
• 102 North 12th Street, Middlesboro (Bell County)
• 2478 South U.S. Highway 421, Harlan (Harlan County)
• 429 University Drive, Prestonsburg (Floyd County)
Additionally, Kentucky State Police Posts will serve as drop-off locations. Residents of Floyd, Johnson, Magoffin, Martin and Pike counties can drop off unwanted medications at Post 9 in Pikeville. Officials say that medication turned in at Food City or other locations will be turned over to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for disposal.
Those who are unable to attend Saturday's event, and still wish to safely dispose of their medications can utilize permanent medication drop boxes placed by Operation UNITE and other agencies in most southern and eastern Kentucky counties. A list of locations is available on the UNITE website.
Since October 1, 2012, UNITE has collected 502 pounds of medications from these drop boxes. In the previous two years, UNITE collected and destroyed 1,024,932 pills through take-back days held across the region.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), medications, mostly prescription drugs, were involved in nearly 60 percent of the 38,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2010, overshadowing those from illicit narcotics.
"A vast majority of teens trying prescription drugs for the first time get them from the family medicine cabinet or from a friend's home," said Dan Smoot, vice president of UNITE. "Having unused medications sitting around the home is an invitation to trouble."
In 2011, more than 4,500 young people a day abused prescription drugs for the first time, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
"Teens believe that just because drugs are prescribed they are safe, but that is true only when taken according to directions and only by the person to whom the drugs were prescribed," Smoot said. "Aside from the fact that taking or giving away medicine that is not prescribed to you is illegal, even at small doses the potential exists for serious health effects – including death."
For years, the generally accepted method for disposing of old or left over medications was to flush it down the toilet. This practice, however, has been strongly discouraged because of concerns about potential health and environmental effects of antibiotics, hormones, painkillers, depressants and stimulants making their way into our water system and soil.
National Prescription Drug Take-Back events were initiated by the DEA two years ago to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications.

Every year around this time the Bratz and I get together to talk about we are the most thankful for. It's so much fun to get together, giggle a lot and talk about the things that make us smile every day!
Since Thanksgiving is next week, the girlz got together earlier and it was such a blast! We gave each other big hugs because we were (of course!) very thankful to have such amazing friendz in life. Then we giggled lots about all the cute boys that we were thankful to have crushes on. We're also extremely thankful for our families! They teach us so much every day and love us no matter what (which is really awesome). Sometimes we can get a little annoyed, but at the end of every day our famz are always there to encourage us to follow our dreams, like the way Sasha's fam encourages her to follow her fashion designing dreams with all the colored pencils and trips to the fabric store.
But most of all, we all agreed that we are really really REALLY thankful for all the wonderful and amazing Bratzies that we get to call friends! Each one of you are beautiful and special…we don't know what we would do without all of you. We always love the conversations we get to have; from reading the comments on this blog, chatting on Facebook and tweeting our hearts out on Twitter. We are also really loving this new Instagram world and showing our friendz a different part of our lives. Pretty much what we're saying is we just adore being your friendz and hope that you feel the same way!
What are you thankful for this year? Be sure to share all the things you are thankful for with friends, family and with us in the comment section below.
Happy Thanksgiving, Bratzies. We wish you all the love in the world!
Your friendz,
Bunny Boo, Angel, Pretty Princess, & Kool Kat

All-AmericanHeroes features amateur straight guys out of uniform. These straight men are REAL current or former cops, marines, firemen, lifeguards, military police.
Civilian Buster returns for his first meeting with our super-hung marine, Private Aidyn. Buster's only experiences getting fucked so far have been with two different guys that are about average size. Once we get the porn rolling for these 2 guys, Buster starts checking Aidyn's giant schlong out of the corner of his eye. It looks like he's trying to figure out if it's way too big to fit in his tight ass or if he's going to choke on it when he tries to go down. Once tattooed Aidyn whips it out and starts the long, labored strokes that it takes to work on his gigantic member, Buster can't wait to start slobbering all over it. Good sport that Buster is, he manages to get every last inch of the massive dong down his throat. But, that's not good enough for him. He decides he's got to try stuffing the thick meat into his ass. After a lot of lube and a good thrust from Aidyn, it finally goes in. It's easy to see Buster is in a lot of pain, but he manages to take it. He has to get up on the bac

text: I agree. I'm definitely no big Jones fan or anything, but it seems like the guy fights more frequently than anyone else in the UFC, short of maybe Cerrone. I was/am a big St. Pierre fan, and we were lucky if he fought twice a year. Jones gets the heat because he acts douchey, whereas George was all class and got a pass, but I'd be fine if Jones held out until late fall.

Personally, I think Dale should be played by a fairly young guy. Matthew Fox and Clive Owen are both good suggestions (not mine). But what about Simon Baker? He's the guy from the television show "The Mentalist".

Ron Jeremy as Rennie.
Jon Bon Jovi as Barbara.
For Jim Rennie`s character exists only one choice and one choice only - James Gandolfini.
As Dale, more options are open, Tim Daly from Storm of the Century comes to mind and also Jason Patrick ( Sleepers, Narc )
In the book, wasn't Dale Barbara in his early thirties? To me, that would leave out a lot of the suggestions, no offense. Timothy Olyphant would be my first thought. Then Josh Duhamel.
well we dont need a young actor to star as Dale Barbara. Then his backstory of his past and Iraq wouln't work well on the big screen.
Some older like Bruce Willis or Ed Harris or even Thomas Jane.
Thomas Jane did pull it off pretty good in The Mist movie.
Also for "Chef" the religious Radio DJ I'm thinking of Micheal Shannon from Bug
Julia- Julianne Moore
Scarecrow Joe and the other good teens: Shia The Beef, Dakota Fanning, anyone else for the young kid actors
Peter Randolph- James Cromwell maybe?
Brenda and Duke Perkins: the actress that starred as Aunt May in the Spider-Man movies and for Duke it would maybe be Robert Duvall.
I agree that Dale seems to be much younger than some of the actors suggested (not that I dislike any of them!). I like all of the younger actors that have been suggested, too. I'm seeing a dirty-blond-haired guy for some reason. Maybe Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost)? Or Peter Horton? I'd like to see Justin Timberlake in the role (he's a bit young, maybe). He really is a very talented actor (though I'm ambivalent about his music).
The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect/The way you live, the gifts that you give/In the fullness of time/It's the only return that you expect
I'm not understanding everyone's obsession with Dale Barbara as being an "older guy" because he was in the Iraq war. Good Lord people, that war is only a little over 8 years old. My own son was in the first Gulf War and he's only 40. Bruce Willis is 54 years old. Old enough to have fought in Viet Nam. Ed Harris is almost 60, also old enough to have fought in Viet Nam. I agree Thomas Jane would do very well. Shia LeBeouf is a little old for Scarecrow Joe. Now Robert Duvall as Duke Perkins is spot on.
By the way - Shia LeBeouf is only 3 years younger than Thomas Jane.

Sorry that it's taking so long. I sent a set of plans to a company quite a while ago(months), I'm waiting just like the rest of us to see if they want to produce it. I have made changes in it since, (I think for the better) but am kind of leary about submitting the plans before hearing about the others. DPH Arms is starting to produce my .223 adapter. Maybe they'd like a shot at the .308. I just don't want to start a conflict of interest. I'll give it a few more weeks like it is and then ask the first company what's up. If they turn it down, DPS gets the second also. Scott doesn't live too far from me and getting together isn't that hard. He's a nice guy who makes fine products, so I think he'd do a good job on it.
Good luck with it.

That company changed it's mind. I have another that I will be working with as they seem interested. It's taking a little longer as I have come up with a nicer mag release for it and have to try it out. I'll try to keep you posted.
How about a sneek preview? ;o)
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.
I built a working version of the G3 adaption YEARS ago back in my AK-47.net days, and for some damn reason i cant get on that sight now.
I you can get on the pics gallery on that sight you can find the PICS of it in my old gallery under the same user name.

As many of you are aware, France only began recognising nurse education at a 'bachelors' level in 2009 and the department in which I work is the first to offer a Masters of Science in Nursing (Département des Sciences Infirmières et Paramédicales de l'École des Hautes Études en Santé Publique).
I have joined this forum because I was hoping to get some information on the status of Nursing as 'Discipline.' Is it officially and formally recognised by other disciplines as a discipline in its own right, and if so what were the criteria and the process that led to this recognition?
The US, in my humble opinion, is the country that has been leading the way toward recognising nursing as an academic profession (and a Discipline?). However, I am certain there are a number of other countries which have also made significant progress in this department and I was hoping to compare and contrast in order to identify the benchmarks necessary for moving in the direction of getting nursing recognised as a discipline in France.
My department is seeking guidance from other countries to move our profession forward as we are meeting a lot of resistance from our Department of Health and Department of Education. We would like to present some evidence to support and justify our movement to be recognised as a DISCIPLINE.
I would be very grateful for any information you might be able to provide me.
I thank you in advance for your help.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5Â by ScienceGirl Didn't work for me. :-( Unlike some other reviewers, I LOVE the colors in the studio shots. They make the dress appear very golden...gold, honey and caramel come to mind as a description of the browns in the studios. Unfortunately, in real life, the colors are very muddy and much more cool toned. The antique ivory in the studio pictures is the true color of the lightest panels...they are not white as in the catalog. The other colors are actually closer to the catalog as they are more along the lines of taupe, coffee, etc. There is no golden tone in the browns at all. :-( I am 5'5' and measure 38-26-36. I wear a 36C bra, so based on katie h's review, I purchased a 12. I normally wear a M or 8 in FP dresses, but the bust area is quite small on this dress. The 12 fit with a little room to spare, however a 10 would have been fine. Thus I recommend sizing up one size. The full bust measurement on the 12 is 39". Other than the fact that I cannot wear cool muddy colors, the dress is beautifully made and the detailing is gorgeous. Tip: Try this dress on backwards..it actually looks nice! <3 9.11.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by tweety123 Unique Dress Been waiting for this dress to be avail in a store. I lucked out and was able to try it on. I usually wear a size 0 or 2, but had to buy the dress in a size 6. I tried a size 4, but the bust area was a little too tight. I am a bust size 34b. It is gorgeous on. Yes, the color is a little more tan than the white and gold that you see on the first model. Wearing it to a wedding this weekend. 9.11.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by katieh SOOOO GORGEOUS! This dress is beyond amazing! I saw it in the July catalog and knew I had to have it right away...despite the back-order. I ordered a size 12 and it fit really nice, but was smaller than I expected. I am only a 36 B and the chest was snug. This dress is not too sheer, but nude undergarments are a must. The color is much closer to the studio pictures than the catalog shot. The only reason I removed a star was because the fabric is extremely delicate and snags easily. 8.12.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by baby rachel It's ok It's off white like sec pic . And I ordered size0 I usually wear fp size xs but this dress tie litte bit more my bust area can't close button easley Length is just fine I'm 5.1 100lb 32d I'm exchanging my size to 2 hope better fit 8.6.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by dallasdiva Not quite Eeeeehhhhhh.... I saw this in the store, and the colors are sadly more like the studio shots. I'm fairly pale and the colors washed me out, in addition to not being nearly as bold and contrasting as they are in the studio shot. (Pity) The sizing for me was actually on the large side. I'm a solid 6, 34B, and the store had a 2 and a 6... I definitely would need the 4. Unless the dress was incorrectly labeled a 6 when it was an 8, I'd recommend sizing down if the muted colors of the studio shots don't turn you off. 8.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jdh beautiful! I was very worried about the sheerness of this dress when I ordered it, but wearing nude under garments makes it so you can't even tell. I ordered size 4 and am 5ft 5in, 125 lbs, and a 34B. It fit perfectly! I also ordered the triple wrap belt like on the model. SO COOL! The beaded detailing is gorgeous and the fabric is so light and airy. My only complaint is that the top button is a little difficult to undo and refasten. It took me like 5 minutes to get it done. If you are on the fence, go for it. Especially at the sale price. I can't wait to wear this to a wedding I have in Franklin, TN! 2.8.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LFP Beautiful..runs a bit small I ordered sz 0. In retrospect should have ordered a 2. I can close the button in front but it is a little tight around the neck. Also the chest area runs a bit small. I'm 5'5 and small chested and usually wear a sz 0 or 2 if the make is small, like in this case. Since there are no more sizes available I will keep this dress. It's just so beautiful. The colour is similar to the pics that the brunette model is wearing or in the image that a previous reviewer has shown. The dress is difficult to pull on since the top is tight, but with some patience it is do-able. I'm planning to wear it with the button undone. It still looks great that way. The dress is so feminine, flowing and the length hits me as seen on the model. I can't wait to wear this once the weather gets warmer. Even with these small issues, the fit is ok. I just absolutely adore this piece with the beading, the color, the light weight fabric, and overall good quality. I'm also glad of the even hemline (I'm getting tired of uneven ones). I hope fp will find more of these beauties for us.. 2.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by PhoebeinCincy Love! I am 5ft 10in, 140lbs, and a 32D. The size 6 fits perfectly! Nude undergarments make the semi-sheerness a non issue. I can't wait to wear it to summer concerts! I will rock it with boots/sweaters until it gets warmer! :) 1.22.2013

Lombard: I don't see Shields being any problem
UFC welterweight Hector Lombard appeared on MMA Junkie Radion ahead of his fight with Jake Shields on the main card of UFC 171 in Dallas, Texas on March 15. UFC 171 will be headlined by Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawle, fighting to see who is the first new welterweight champ since 2008.
As long as I go to the fight healthy and make my weight right, I dont see him being any problem, Lombard told MMAjunkie Radio. I see myself knocking Jake Shields out to be honest.
I have to show it, I have to prove it and I have to do it to be able to win.
"One of the things that Im the happiest about - youre fighting where all the welterweights, the best welterweights are fighting. Im just fighting on a big card, big event, big arena. Its amazing.
I dont care what anyone says, hes a very difficult fighter to fight. He doesnt look like hes dangerous, but you take a look at his record and you take a look at his fights, he always proves people wrong.
With that said, I still believe Im going to knock him out. I will take out anyone, just Jake Shields is next.

The Wando Advanced Robotics (WAR) FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team #4533 finished the robotics season on March 2 at the FIRST Robotics Palmetto Regional Competition in Myrtle Beach.
Representing Wando High School, the team spent six weeks designing, building and programming a large robot which could block opponents from firing Frisbees into goals and pull itself onto the bottom rung of a three-tier pyramid.
With its defensive strategy, WAR was officially ranked 42nd out of the 65 teams which participated in the regional. Even though they won no awards and were not able to proceed to the championship competition, WAR is not done with the school year just yet.
They intend to continue to upgrade their robot, named "The Chief," and take it to local FIRST Lego League teams to get elementary and middle school teams excited about Wando robotics and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
And there is a lot to look forward to as the team prepares for the coming school years. Now that the team has had experience in being a team, WAR is certain that they will be better prepared for next year.
Reviewing their work, WAR has volunteered at multiple local schools, lent a hand to Habitat for Humanity, promoted engineering at a Stingrays hockey game, put together a fully-functioning robot and most of all, got roughly 40 high school teenagers to accomplish something big.
WAR will start from scratch next year, with a new robot and new ideas.

with the Obamma panic all about --
just as i predicted the standard and extra cap mags for the ar-15s were bought up just about everywhere. leaving nothing but the "profiteers" asking up to $100 for ONE standard mag--
i have bought a few mags after the panic just to see what i can and can't get without getting taken to the cleaners.
it is equally unreasonable to think your going to be able to buy p-mags for $9 or D&H/c-products GI type mags for $7.99 like before the panic.
times have changed. anywhere even near the MSRP is a good price for a quality mag today. i doubt we will ever see mags goober-cheap again.
JSE surplus lets you back order mags at retail price and sometimes they get small batches in stock for slightly above retail. i have recently got some 9mm mags and some 7.62x39 ar 15 mags for retail price to about $21 each.
i got a few "P"s on BO from them --hasn't been filled yet. retail price on everything except the in stock 9mms --which were $3 over retail --
mako has some nice looking steel mags that look to be a copy of the steel HK-mag. they go for $18 a pop and are 6-8 weeks behind on shipping.
don't know how good they are as my sample has not arrived yet --i suspect their good mags. some of the ninjas seem a bit fretty though--but they always are--sooo
you can get free shipping on orders over $99 or 5% off free shipping is "FREE-GRND" and 5% off is ARFCOM --
DSG arms still lists the excellent DSG/D&H mags for $9.20 for back order along with retail prices on the p-mag for BO of about $12-$14--
sometimes copes has the D&H/c-products mags for $17 in small batches and they sell out very quickly.
and finally you have CDNN and SARCO
cdnn has the c-products GI type 30 rd mag for $29 and they sometimes have a charles daly 40rd steel mag for $29. this is a little pricy but the c-prod mag is a good mag and the charles daly mag is either a CMMG 40rd mag or a c-products 40 round mag $29 for the 40 round mags ain't bad at all for a c-prod or CMMG 40 in today world.
now were down in the bottom of the barrel--LOL
SARCO has some imported p-mag rip off for $20ish
and they have some ex IDF/CA orlites for about the same.
the orlites are jam-o-matics the p-mag rip off may be OK--then it may suck. no real way to know less your going to put tha $20 out there--LOL
if you want mags and can wait a month or more on BO the situation ain't so bad.
if you need mags for you new ar-15 today for a test run their still expensive and hard to come by in stock.

How do you use your iPhone/iPad as a remote control?
How do you use your iPhone/iPad as a remote control, and what do you use it to control?
When Apple introduced the iPhone, they also introduced Remote, and app that you could use to control iTunes or your Apple TV. Since then a variety of other, more wide-ranging remote control apps have become available in the iTunes App Store for controlling media, entire computers, and even complete household automation.
With the introduction of the iPad, there's even 9.7" of screen real estate to fill all your controlling needs.
Let us know your favorite remote control apps for iPhone and iPad, and favorite ways for using them in the comments!

How do you use your iPhone/iPad as a remote control?
I use the ipod as a Sonos Remote (Sonos) as well as a TiVo remote (DVR Remote) and sometimes use it for my Roku (i.TV). I also use the phone to control my Thermostats at my weekend house with (iIP Thermostat) and to view my webcam at the house with (Eyecam) Not sure if (SlingPlayer ) app is considered a remote, but i use that as well
I use DSLR Camera Remote to control my Nikon D90 with my iPhone. I'm really hoping for an iPad specific version soon.
Both iPhone and iPad run Rowmote, controlling Mac mini media center w Boxee, Hulu. Also, Remote Tap and VNC lite for odds and ends.
Works really well. :)
I feel like such a Luddite - I didn't even know this was possible! @john fischetti - you must have the best house on the block...
I use the Apple Remote to control iTunes on my iMac upstairs that I stream to my stereo in the basement via an Airport Express. I also love the ability to control my AT&T Uverse DVR via the available. I previously used DirecTV App to watch NFL Sunday Ticket during the football season (but I was using my brother's account for that one!)
JumiMouse Plus is great for a free form PC remote control, and the free JumiTAP is a bunch of remotes for PC (also lets people design their own remotes without writing code... well, a bit of XML modification). both work great. its iPhone/iPod only though. No iPad.
I use Apple's remote program for iTunes. I use it to control my PC when I am practicing songs on drums.
I use several remotes apps: iPeng (Squeezebox), DVR Remote (TiVo), Boxee Remote, Remote (iTunes), EyeTV, Keynote Remote (for presentation) and RemoteBuddy AJAX remote (universal control of iMac). I have to upgrade to Blu-Ray and HDTV, but I'm anxious to use pocket BLU (Blu-ray) and possibly the Pioneer iControlAV.
Ideally, I'd like a universal IP based remote app the controls the devices it can by IP and then the rest by bidirectional RS232 through a device like those by Global Cache. I know Crestron and Savant can do that now, but who wants to spend $5000+ on a controller and then pay a custom installer to make the remote app. Redcliffe Technology Control Center, Cremote Bobby and iRedTouch look pretty good but are not fully featured yet nor super user friendly. I'd be curious if anyone has worked with these or similar apps. I'd love to see bidirectional communication with an interface as easy to setup as a Logitech Harmony remote.
Hipporemote> rowmote
iPhone to control my iTunes n mouse/keyboard with air mouse
I use iPiMP to control my MediaPortal HTPC. Brilliant web-app that allows me to control the HTPC from anywhere with an internet connection. if I remember to program a TV program too late.. No problem, I can do it with iPiMP!
I normally use logmein n team viewer for remote desktop. N I have rowmote plus logitech touch pad too. But I seldom use just as fun. I'm a serious user of team viewer n logmein though. Most of the time if I have some tasks to accomplish like downloading, I leave my mac open for downloading, then whenever I finish them I use logmein to finish my job.
I use i-Got-Control www.i-got-it.com to control all my home electronics, my MacBook and my house lighting. I do this from my iPhone and my iPad. It's great! I also like how I can take that control with me wherever I go. Friends house, Hotel, Restaurants, Stores. It controls almost everything!
I use remote mouse to control my PC on my HDTV, it works great, I can access my movie collection without having to get up and use the mouse!
I have a 2 rack system's of audio & video components that consist of a flat screen for each system with amps, dvr,blue ray dvd & ipod docks & apple tv. Is there a way to use my Iphone 4 or my Ipad to control every thing. The challenge is the rack systems are not in the same room as the Flat screens. What other technology is available that will allow me to keep my entertainment
systems in another room out of site and still direct all of the components.
Need help

Memphitz Sues Producers Of 'Love and Hip Hop Atlanta'
If 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' creator Mona Scott-Young thought dealing with the antics of her out of control cast was a lot to take on, she has a whole 'nother headache on her hands now that Memphitz, ex-boyfriend to singer K. Michelle, has filed a lawsuit against the show. Throughout the taping of the show, K. Michelle repeatedly told the story of how her former ex and label head spent up all of her money, left her for broke, almost ruined her music career and beat her badly. Even though she didn't mention him by name on the show, she definitely didn't have a problem openly saying Memphitz's name in interviews and hopping on Twitter to air him out a few times while throwing a few insults at Memphitz' wife Toya Wright.
Now that the season has officially wrapped, Memphitz has decided to take legal action and has filed a lawsuit against Viacom International; NFGTC, Inc.; and Mona's Monami Entertainment. He's claiming that K. Michelle's accusations of domestic violence are complete lies and the show gave her a "worldwide platform" for her to "assassinate [his] character":
"My family and I have suffered tremendously while VH-1, Monami Ent., and the other companies provided a worldwide platform for K. Michelle to repeatedly assassinate my character. The filing of this suit is to compensate for the irreparable damage that has been done to my reputation and to deter these companies from doing such future harm to others."
Meanwhile, his attorney, Conti J. Moore says that K. Michelle was just seeking sympathy without giving an ounce of proof to her claims:
"[K. Michelle] has taken full advantage of society's tendency to accept claims of domestic violence as always being true, even in the absence of proof. The only abuse that actually occurred is the malicious and calculated pattern of vicious lies Ms. Pate has assailed for the purpose of fabricating a compelling story line in an attempt to ruin my client's name."
"Domestic violence is an issue of serious nature, often having grave consequences for true victims with whom we all sympathize. However, it is unconscionable for one to play on the sympathies of the masses by levying false accusations of such heinous acts against an innocent party, simply for the sake of entertainment or for purported career advancement. After reviewing the evidence in this matter, we are prepared to litigate this case to the fullest extent of the law to seek justice for our client and to restore his name and professional reputation."
Memphitz is asking for $1 per viewer per show as damages, and with the show averaging almost $3 million viewers an episode, he's looking at some serious bank if he manages to win this.

Body Works Wellness Studio to open at Levis CommonsWritten by Danielle Stanton | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Licensed massage therapist Leslie Moore is opening up her own shop in Levis Commons in Perrysburg dedicated to alleviating chronic pain.
"I enjoy making people feel better … and being able to customize my touch to that person," Moore said. "There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a client that feels better walking out your door than when they walked in."
Body Works Wellness Studio, 2160 Preston Parkway, opens its doors Nov. 4 and will operate 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Moore specializes in chronic pain and injuries, but also accepts patients who just want a relaxing experience.
"I want to provide a variety [of services] in a classy setting where people are comfortable and where they look forward to going," Moore said.
Moore has a sports background as a runner and former competitive swimmer, which gives her a deeper understanding of sports-related injuries, a common type of aliment she sees.
She's trained in myofascial release, trigger point release, neuromuscular therapy, deep tissue massage, sinus and migraine treatments and Swedish massage. She'll also offer body wraps and detoxification and can accommodate the needs of pregnant women.
Moore graduated from the Healing Arts Institute in Perrysburg in April 2012 and received her massage license a month later from the State of Ohio Medical Board. She practiced massage therapy and worked as a business manager for Serenity Health and Wellness Center. Her experience there helped her understand clients' needs, she said, and gave her a foundation for opening her own shop.
She is also a member of the American Massage Therapy Association.
Moore said she wants to continue to learn more about massage therapy to help her clients. She has a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice from the University of Toledo and an MBA from Tiffin University.
"I'm constantly seeking new information," she said. "I want to keep growing, keep learning through working with clients and taking classes.
"It's great because I'm never going to know it all. I can continue to grow as a therapist and help people along the way."
Ever since high school, Moore said she has been driven to be a business owner. Opening her own shop has been a dream of hers for a long time, she said.
"Now I get to combine health and wellness with that business degree," she said. "And it's a perfect fit."
She said she loves the challenge of helping people feel better. Her goal is to build her clientele to 25 patients a week, she said.
"I love that every day is different, and each client has their own needs and I'm able to accommodate it," Moore said. "It's truly what I love … and I want to dedicate the rest of my life to it."
