COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - New Mexico's Mike Brownstein and San Diego State's Stephen Strasburg were named Mountain West Conference Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week on Monday, May 5. This is the first weekly award of the season for Brownstein and the sixth for Strasburg (fourth consecutive).
Brownstein led the Lobos offensively, as UNM took two-of-three games from conference foe BYU last week. From the leadoff position, he hit .533 (8-for-15) from the plate with two doubles, a triple, three RBI and four runs scored. In the first game of the series, Brownstein went 3-for-6, with two RBI and one run scored in the Lobos' 9-7 victory. In game two, he was a home run short of hitting for the cycle on the way to a 3-for-4, two run scored performance in a 13-5 loss. In the series finale, Brownstein went 2-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in New Mexico's 15-6 win.
Strasburg, a San Diego, Calif., native, tossed a complete-game shutout in the Aztecs' 15-0 win at Air Force last Friday. He allowed just three hits in the contest, striking out 11 and walking one. With a runner on third base with one out in the seventh inning, Strasburg struck out the next two batters to preserve the shutout. Only one other runner reached as far as second base for the game. With his 11 K's, he has taken over the national lead in strikeouts (110). Strasburg has now just allowed one run in his last 46 innings on the mound.

Hasson named SP girls' hoops coach
SOUTH PORTLAND—Lynne Hasson, a one-time Red Riots standout and a longtime program assistant, is the new coach of the South Portland girls' basketball team, succeeding Mike Giordano, who stepped down following the 2012-13 season.
Hasson had opportunities to become a varsity coach elsewhere in recent years, but home was where her heart was and she's excited to inherit a perennial contender.
"I'm very happy," Hasson said. "I played for South Portland, I grew up in South Portland, I live in South Portland. I have strong ties here. I was hoping it would eventually work out."
"(Lynne's) had opportunities to accept varsity positions elsewhere, but I know in her heart that she wanted to lead the Red Riots' girls' basketball program one day and that day has come," said South Portland athletic director Todd Livingston. "She's cares deeply not only about South Portland, but also the program. She has worked very hard to get to this point and I have every confidence that she will continue to build upon the tradition established."
Hasson, then known as Lynne McGouldrick, helped South Portland reach the 1982 Class A state final (the Red Riots lost to Bangor). She graduated in 1983 after playing three years for the varsity team. She also played field hockey, softball and ran track in high school, then went on to play basketball at the University of Maine.
Hasson coached a couple seasons in the early 1990s with the South Portland junior varsity, then returned 11 years ago and was a fixture on the bench alongside Giordano.
Giordano, who won 207 games in 17 seasons, resigned in April after what he felt was a less than favorable review process.
Livingston said there were several good candidates for the position, but Hasson got the nod.
"(Lynne) is very knowledgable and will make sure that she develops the success of the program from the youth through varsity level," Livingston said. "Any time you can hire an individual that has come up through and played in the program, that's a positive as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to working with Lynne and seeing the program flourish under her leadership."
One of Hasson's key players going forward figures to be her soon-to-be-sophomore daughter, Maddie, a point guard. Hasson previously coached her daughter Abby (now playing at the University of Southern Maine) and feels she's up for the challenge.
"You make it work," Hasson said. "A lot of coaches do it. When we're at the gym, I'm 'Coach,' not 'Mom.'"
Hasson's family is immersed in basketball. Hasson's husband, Chris, coached the Scarborough varsity for time and is now the Memorial Middle School coach. Her son, Connor, plays at the University of Maine-Farmington. A son Riley, is entering the eighth grade at Memorial.
Hasson said she expects fans to see a more up-tempo style in the years to come and she feels she has the quality of athletes who can continue the program's success (South Portland went 12-7 last year, losing to Scarborough in the quarterfinals, its 13th straight playoff berth).
"I love the way South Portland kids play," said Hasson, who also teaches social studies and math at Memorial Middle School. "That's never changed. Year after year, we have competitive kids who love basketball. I want kids to go after the ball. We want to score off transition. If girls are open, I want them to shoot it. I have athletic kids who can play that style."
Hasson credited several coaches, from her high school and college coaches, to the likes of Gavin Kane and Paul True, for influencing her, but credits Giordano for demonstrating how to show character.
"I learned a lot from (Mike) in regards to stuff outside the court," Hasson said. "The biggest thing is that he's a class act. Very respectful of the kids. He showed me how to treat officials and kids and how to approach the game. He tried to build character. I'm extremely competitive. I'll never outgrow that, but I'll respect the kids and make sure they get a fair shot."

In a previous thread, it was brought to my attention that to be someone's partner, sometimes, your religion matters. This person (who shall remain unnamed) claims that girls have taken an interest in him, but because he was an atheist, they shunned away immediately. This can go either way. If you're an atheist, can you date a religious person? [spoiler]Atheist: Someone who doesn't subscribe to any and all supernatural deities. Includes agnostics of all kinda. Religious person: someone who believes or hopes for a God and an afterlife. Isn't exclusive to church goers or faith holders. [/spoiler] On the show, "The atheist experience", one of the hosts say that his fiancé's family thinks he's satan because he's an atheist. Likewise, I have also turned down girls because their religious beliefs were to extreme for me (abortion, evolution, etc.) So, what do you guys think?
The Great DanTej9/22/2013 9:53:54 PM PermalinkI can live with them keeping the Old gods, or the Drowned god, or the many faced god, and maybe even the Rhoynish god(s), but at the end of the day I would prefer them to be a faithful servant of our lord (of light) and savior, R'hllor... ...all godless heathens (and worshipers of the southron seven) shall be burned in his holy fires...
SuperSmeller4/21/2014 2:07:51 AM Permalinkive dated religious girls before, but i knew it couldn't last that long. serious relationships would have to be with a nonreligious girl.
abba61 ALT4/21/2014 1:19:28 AM PermalinkReligion doesn't matter in the slightest. If they are are an asshole about it, they are an asshole anyway so you just don't date assholes.
GrimReefersODEdited by GrimReefersOD: 4/21/2014 1:38:20 AM PermalinkI'm an atheist and I've dated girls who were from different religions. The deciding factor is if the Atheist is an asshole and/or if the religious person is a bigot. I love religion for the fact that in each religion they universally express that we should love each other no matter what and to strive for inner peace.
Jay4/21/2014 1:33:00 AM PermalinkIt really depends. Some people might not be able to handle it, but others could. My girlfriend is a diehard Christian, but I'm still figuring out where I stand. She insisted on how she'd never date a nonbeliever, but she seems to be willing to accept me and my dwindling faith. People change. It definitely could be a problem, but not always.
Novandalis4/21/2014 1:17:12 AM PermalinkI don't mind if they have a religion, but compulsory church attendance and praying at meals is a deal breaker.
very erlkönig11/30/2013 8:38:58 AM PermalinkYes, it is a dealbreaker. To be in a serious relationship with someone whose faith differs greatly than mine would cause a lot of fundamental issues in our relationship.
Ms Blue Phacelia11/30/2013 8:34:34 AM PermalinkCan't be radical, or preachy. I don't care about what you [i]believe[/i] in. As long as it doesn't affect the relationship.
TrussingDoor9/23/2013 8:22:25 PM PermalinkFor myself? No, I don't worry about that unless they constantly give me shit over it, in which case there probably won't be any attraction to begin with. However, in my experience living in the bible belt, that is a huge deal breaker for girls. I've run into it a million times with very few exceptions. They all assume I'm only interested in leading them away from god or hitting and quitting it. Meanwhile bible-thumping whores are fücking their male counterparts in youth groups because "god will forgive us for our sins lol". In the past I was frustrated, but I've come to realize these people aren't worth my time. I don't want to be with a hypocrite, someone who believes something is immoral but does it anyway. That's why I'm only interested in religious girls who actually are abstinent like they claim to be. Maybe it's odd, me being such a sex-obsessed individual, but I'd rather be with someone with integrity and never sleep together, than a bitch who would abandon her own moral code for fun.
Fridge Gnome9/23/2013 11:50:07 AM PermalinkIt depends on how open both people are to the other's beliefs. If one person wants to go to church every week, while the other is athiest, then that might be a problem to consider.
TheFactual19979/23/2013 12:14:21 AM PermalinkI'm a Buddhist and it hasn't stopped anyone from talking to me. ENLIGHTENMENT MASTER RACE!
An average gamer9/23/2013 12:17:03 AM PermalinkI am a theist and my girlfriend is an atheist and we get along just fine. Live and let live. Religion is a personal matter. There's no reason it should EVER affect somebody else negatively.
Orion9/23/2013 12:11:13 AM PermalinkUntil we can reproduce asexually, you can't just turn a chick down because of her stance on abortion. This is why Earth is getting dumber. All of the stupid folks just stick it in anything that can walk, and there's more of them.
BIG CRAIG G9/23/2013 12:19:08 AM PermalinkNobody likes an -blam!-hole atheist or a -blam!-hole theist. You let me think what I think and I'll gladly do the same.
Xmark120Edited by Xmark120: 9/22/2013 9:51:49 PM PermalinkAs an atheist, I would ask my partner, for example, that she should not force our ¨child¨ into such stuff, if he didn't want to. So I voted for - depends.
Sly Instinct9/22/2013 11:33:11 PM PermalinkAs long as they aren't really extremists/muslim I don't really care.
Cameo Cream9/22/2013 9:35:35 PM PermalinkIt depends if the people are mature enough to realise that it shouldn't be a problem.
Y SO REACH BETA9/22/2013 3:40:49 PM PermalinkIt is hard to get along with someone that has a completely different view of the world. I have an ex who was quite religious (I'm an atheist) it prevented us from connecting completely. I still have feelings for her, despite the fact that I know it wouldn't work out.
Uncle Putin9/22/2013 4:48:45 AM PermalinkThe Bible has multiple verses in it that basically say that you shouldn't unite yourself with an unbeliever, so that's why Christians have problems with it. Plus when it comes to having a child, there is BOUND to be some problems. Which way are you going to raise the child?
Codename 2079/22/2013 3:10:34 PM PermalinkIt depends on how much they want the kids to believe what they do; If it's a theist, it's not much of a problem for me if they want to educate the kids on it. However, I'd have problems if they want to introduce the kids to atheism. It's just too depressing and negative a viewpoint for me to let someone raise my kids with it.
Verbatim9/22/2013 3:08:49 PM PermalinkIt's only a deal-breaker if they think it's a deal-breaker.

The X Factor
Britney Spears: Valentine's Date With Mystery Man!
Step to the left, bugaboos. Britney Spears is moving on to bigger and beefier men, just one month after breaking up with her fiance, Jason Trawick! This living legend recently parted ways with Jason (who was her co-conservator / agent) after being engaged for over a year, and it looks like she's ready to go on the rebound.
All eyes were on Britney this past Valentine's Day, and the internet pretty much shut down in glee when she and a mysterious hunk were spotted on a romantic sushi dinner date in Calabasas, California. The couple kept things casual by wearing jeans and t-shirts, but Brit-Brit can't fool us.
Going out on Valentine's Day means one thing — she's in love! Or, she's in lust. Or, she just wanted sushi. To see the photo, click here.
No word yet as to who Britney's mystery man is (this gal is notoriously private about her love life and TMZ reports that her management is keeping silent about his identity), but one thing's for sure. She's so lucky. She's a star. And she's no longer cry-cry-crying in her lonely heart!

The Cowboys aren't going to have many games where Tony Romo passes for 282 yards without an interception and the offense musters only seven points.
That's what happened Sunday night in their season-opening loss at Washington and it sets up an interesting matchup for the Bears' secondary that entered the season with questions that mostly went unanswered against the Lions. Miles Austin, hyped rookie Dez Bryant and Roy Williams form a talented trio and more than just Terrell Owens believe tight end Jason Witten is Romo's favorite target.

I certainly hope this bill does not become law. As I drive on Interstate 65 and 459 I frequently see people receiving their "Welcome to Hoover" citations from the over aggressive Hoover police force. We have too many local police giving tickets already.
Who paid for them to get there? I'm sure the state university participants were reimbursed for their expenses by the state universities, who get their money from the state taxpayers.
Who is paying for this feel good summit? No doubt the tax payers. The book, "The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can be Done About It." by Paul Collier discusses the causes of poverty. As I understand Mr. Collier arguments, these causes are civil wars, imbalanced natural resources, being landlocked and corrupt governments. I find nothing discussing these causes in the web sites associated with Universities Fighting World Hunger. They mostly read like most liberal feel good efforts: lots of words to make the participants feel good about themselves.
If this misery continues, Barack is done by January 20, 2013.
Is this a common occurrence at ASU?
This is good news.
The comment about becoming the nation's dumping ground suggests Alabama is accepting garbage from other states. Does anyone know if this is happening?
This is good news, but is not inconsistent with my personal observations. Both college graduates, my wife and I moved here from Atlanta three years ago, when we retired. We have met many highly educated retirees from all over the nation, and Europe, that have chosen to live here. These people, like us, are happy to make Birmingham home.
King George III had a difficult time with patriot groups.
Police are a necessary evil, but are too often more evil than necessary.
Excellent comment.
Hunter: Respectfully, I disagree. I have traveled in several foreign countries and almost every state. The worst drivers I have come in contact with were in Panama (where they drive on the sidewalk to get around a traffic slowdown), Atlanta, GA (where they cruise the freeways at an average speed of 85 MPH) and France (the rudest). Coming to B'ham three years ago I have been very impressed with the courtesy and consideration I find in other drivers here. I almost never hear anyone honking their horn when the light turns green, as in ATL and France. I do have an issue with people here running red lights, but that is a national problem, not just a B'ham problem.
Just think of all the jobs created or saved by having the weed ordinance. Without it these inspectors would be on welfare, or have to get a productive job. Perhaps they could open a lawn care business.
She is a "former" Mobile native? I have lived in four different states and visited several countries, but I will always be a native of only one place.
Just the kind of article I would expect from the Associated Press. In the past they have had articles that say something like "Crime rate down despite more criminals in prison." The reason the crime rate is down is because the criminals are in prison.
This has to qualify for "World's Dumbest Criminals."
libertarian4: Yes, justice is done, but upon the event of an execution there is certainly a sense of revenge on the part of many, oftentimes including myself. He killed a woman holding a baby. What a dreadful crime, and he deserved his punishment. Tonight I feel rather empty. Empty in the sense that though the guilty man paid the ultimate punishment, the victim cannot be brought back due to his execution.
Society has its revenge.

As part of my spring cleaning, I go through our dogs' supplies to make sure we're stocked up for a few months. One must have in our home is DGP for Pets. Both Rodrigo and Sydney have arthritis and Sydney is still slowly recovering from a partial cruciate tear.
Although we finally have their joint maintenance down…
- Sydney takes 3000mg of glucosamine daily
- Rodrigo takes Wag Lifetime Joint Care
We still need pain relief for when our dogs over do it or when they wake up feeling a bit stiff. And since our dogs need a little pain relief once a week or so, we keep our house stocked up on DGP for Pets. I place an order on Amazon.com 3x a year.
1. DGP is all natural – our vet approves and we were able to use it with an anti-inflammatory prescribed by our vet (we always get approval first).
2. DGP can be used daily and long term without worry about the impact on our dogs' kidney and liver.
3. DGP isn't bitter and tastes great with peanut butter, hot dogs, or crushed up in our dogs' food.
4. DGP works fast! I can give it to Rodrigo and Sydney when I notice that they're a bit stiff or sore and see a noticeable difference in an hour or so – I usually give it to them before bed so that they don't wake up stiff the morning after a long walk.
5. DGP combined with a joint care supplement, allowed our dogs to return to their normal, playful selves.
6. DGP is an affordable alternative to prescription pain relief and it can be picked up on Amazon, 1-800-PetMeds, and DGPforPets.com.
7. DGP can be given to cats too.
I know I have 4 bottles around this house somewhere and in the aftermath of our tiling project, I'm excited to get the house back in order so that I can track them down and put them in the dogs' first aid kit.
This giveaway is now over. But if you'd like to order DGP for Pets, follow this LINK.

Learn how to create stunning motion graphics and animations for video production. Author Ian Robinson explains how to format and animate type with the Transform Glyph tool and explores Motion's real-time 3D tools. The course also covers working in 3D space, creating depth with lights and shadows, keying green screen effects, and working with particle systems. In addition, Ian offers practical advice on integrating Motion into a professional video workflow and explains how to work smarter using rigs and templates.
Now believe it or not, I have a bunch of friends that kind of make fun of me for doing this technique, but honestly, I really kind of enjoy pre-rendering. So if you're an old-school designer, you probably know exactly what I am talking about, but if you've always been in the world of real-time motion graphics with Motion, you may not completely grasp the advantage of pre-rendering something. So let me take you through a typical workflow that I would do when I know I'm going to be creating a rather complex animation. So let's look at our project here and as you can see, we have a video layer with the Keyer attached to it.
Now we definitely went over how to create this in the Green Screen chapter, so I am not going to jump into the Keyer options and things like that. I just want us to look at the playback here by pressing the spacebar on our computer, and you notice immediately that it's going to play back rather slowly. That's because Keying is somewhat processor intensive. Now I know this key is a little rough, but that's perfectly fine because the treatment that I want to do, I am going to change her into a silhouette, and then I want to replicate that silhouette all over the place.
Let's think about the processing that's going on right now. See, I have got the green-screen footage, which if we zoom out here--I will Command+Minus--you notice it is larger than our project. So let's go to the Inspector with that piece of footage selected and in the Properties section change the Scale down to 67%. That way as she dances around, she's not getting cut off on the edges and then she really moves out of the scene. Now this process of just choosing the green-screen color and keying out the background is pretty intensive.
Now we're also scaling the image down as well. The second we try and load this into the replicator, imagine what's going to happen. You're going to have, I don't know, twelve copies of this or sixteen copies of this, and each time, yes, it loads the keying once, but it has to replicate that multiple times. So as you would imagine, this can be very processor intensive. To make the work a lot faster, one of the things I like to do is just pre-render something if I know that I'm going to be using it for a specific task.
I like how her T-shirt is cut out of the background because of the style it's going to create. So select the QuickTime file and let's go to the Library and in the Filter section I want to go to Color Correction. See what we are going to do is change her into a silhouette. So grab the Colorize filter and just drag it and drop it right on top of her QuickTime layer. And in the Inspector, let's remap black back to black and we will remap white all the way to black, and now we're getting that kind of famous silhouette look.
If I press the spacebar here, you'll see the playback is a little slow and I do have a little bit of degradation that's going on within our dancer, and that's just because the black and white values aren't quite covering absolutely everything the same. If we go to the Inspector under Remap Black and Remap White, you can just make doubly sure that that's 100% black when we make that adjustment, same thing here with the white. Okay, so now that we have got our silhouette set up, now it's time to actually export this.
Now in the past, if I had to go to Share right now and say Export Movie, it would export of this black silhouette and the red background married together. Now the old way to fix this is to deselect the background and then go up under Share and export the movie. But there's a faster way to do this and if you have many, many layers underneath of something that you've keyed and you just want to export the one keyed layer, all you have to do is select that one layer and then go up under Share and choose Export Selection to Movie.
See, when I do this, it's automatically going to only export that one layer. Now I know it doesn't look like that based on the thumbnail, but it will. So let's look at some of the options for this. Under the Export options, yes, I want to export ProRes 4x4, because in the Render settings I do want to export my Color channel plus the alpha, which is the transparency of the image. Now for the Render Quality, instead of using the Canvas settings, I am going to set that to Best, and in this one instance I don't want to enable Motion Blur.
Now I can continue going through and showing you all the different options, but this is the look we are going for. So all we have to do is click Next, and now we can pre-render this element. If you go into your exercise files folder, in the Media folder there is a folder for Footage. In there we have an option for Exported_Sources. So when I click on that, you will see I have my KeyedDancer video file that I already output earlier. Now just so you can see exactly what happens when I do hit the button, I'll go ahead and just add a 2 at the end of KeyedDancer here and click Save.
Now what's going to happen? It will render the dancer, key it off of the background with an alpha channel, and then open that QuickTime and show us exactly what's going on. So notice when I open the QuickTime, even if I press Play, not really seeing anything. That's because it did output the transparency data and since all I had was her filled with black, we are not seeing anything. What we need to do is actually view the alpha channel. So to do that, I'll just collapse my two layers and turn off their visibility.
And if we go to the File Browser, let's navigate in our exercise files folder, in the Media folder under Footage, there is an option for Exported_Sources, and here's our version 2. Notice I get a preview right up here in the File Browser. If you want to see it in your project, just drag and drop it right into the project. Now, as I'm looking at this, I still can't see this, so you may have to come to this color window up here in the upper right and change it from Color to Alpha Overlay, or change it just to straight Alpha.
That way you can see exactly what's going to actually be transparent and what's going to be filled in. Now there is one last setting you should pay attention to when you go to export your movie as a pre-render, and that's the actual size of the movie. See, if I knew I was only going to make our dancer 50 pixels high and make duplicate copies of her, I would just make a QuickTime that's only 50 pixels high, and then I would just use that as the source for my replicator.
By not including all those extra pixels to making her large, I'm just making the pre-rendering that much more efficient, and that will make the replication that much more efficient. So the easiest way to think about pre-rendering, anytime you think you're going to be building a project that might look like it's going to actually bog down your system, you may want to look at the individual elements to see exactly which ones you'd like to pre-render.

Council delays shelter talks
Service providers say they plan to be vocal
A planned discussion at City Hall about the future location of homeless shelters was called off Wednesday because city officials said they need more time to gather information.
The city's Planning and Zoning Commission, which oversees the drafting of zoning ordinances, was set to discuss the item at its regular meeting on Wednesday. The discussion follows one neighborhood's opposition to the proposed expansion of Metro Ministries, a major provider of services to the city's homeless and poor.
Earlier this month, Metro Ministries backed off plans to open a residential facility for single parents with children, families and women at 3115 McArdle Road. Neighbors opposed the move because they feared it would bring an unwanted element to their area.
Following that opposition, some have proposed the crafting of an ordinance to keep future homeless shelters out of residential neighborhoods.
City Planning Director Michael Gunning said officials had not gathered enough information on a proposed ordinance to regulate the locations of homeless shelters.
"It's an issue that's very difficult to deal with," Gunning said.
An alliance of local nonprofit agencies that serves the poor has vowed to oppose such an ordinance. The group includes Metro Ministries, the Salvation Army, Mission 9-1-1 and Catholic Charities. About 40 members of the group made an appearance at City Hall on Wednesday but were not heard because the discussion was canceled.
John Flood, vice president of the Metro Ministries board of directors, said he believes such an ordinance could violate federal housing laws.
"We're going to be very vocal," he said. "There's nothing about women and children that suggests regulating them out of anything."

August 3, 2015
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Gov. Rick Perry is asking federal officials to reconsider their denial of major disaster aid to the Texas town stricken by a deadly fertilizer blast.
Perry sent a letter Tuesday to President Barack Obama on behalf of the town of West, where 15 people died in the April plant explosion. The Federal Emergency Management Agency declined last month to grant West a major disaster declaration.
Perry says West sustained damage exceeding $35 million, with millions more in long-term recovery costs. West's school district is tens of millions of dollars short after losing parts of three buildings in the blast.
The city's water and sewer systems were severely damaged, and hundreds of residents displaced.
FEMA has said it believes state and local agencies have enough money to cover rebuilding costs.

AMHERST, Mass. – Sophomore forward Drea Nogueira (New Bedford, Mass.) scored in the 81st minute, but the University of New Hampshire women's soccer team suffered a 2-1, double-overtime defeat at the hands of the University of Massachusetts on Friday afternoon at Rudd Field.
The loss drops the Wildcats to 2-2-2, while the Minutewomen improve to 2-2-0.
With the match knotted in a scoreless tie with 8:38 remaining in regulation, Nogueira netted her team-leading third goal of the year when she received a low cross in front from junior midfielder Alli Rozelle (Stratham, N.H.), who had one-timed a long pass from senior midfielder Marika Posehn (Duncan, British Columbia), and beat UMass goalkeeper Emily Cota to give her squad the 1-0 lead.
|Alli Rozelle
UNH looked to have the game won and freshman goalkeeper Erica Correa (Cheshire, Conn.) seemed to have her first career shutout in hand, but with just 2:36 to play, Meghan Collins scored off a scramble in front of the net to tie the score and send the match to overtime.
Then with 3:49 to play in the second extra session, the Minutewomen stole the victory when Kayla Austin's cross to the far post was finished by Ashley Hamel to give UMass the come-from-behind 2-1 win.
Correa made a career-high 10 saves in the loss, while Cota stopped four shots.
UMass outshot the Wildcats, 21-10, and held a 5-1 edge in corner kicks, but was whistled for 26 fouls to UNH's 15.
The Wildcats return to action Sunday, Sept. 12 at 1 p.m. when they play host to Siena College at Lewis Fields.

Gratitude mutual, contract extetnded for Granville superintendent
OXFORD — Tim Farley, superintendent of Granville County Schools, has a deal keeping him in place through the spring of 2017.
The board of education voted unanimously earlier this summer to extend his contract with an annual compensation package of $211,162. The contract expires May 31, 2017.
Farley has said he wants to stay in Granville County until he retires.
"I'm blessed," he said. "I'm working in Granville County."
Farley is paid $161,289 as basic salary, a $16,217 supplement paid from local funds, a $17,540 Granville County professional education supplement, $3,030 credit for his doctorate and $13,080 for transportation expenses.
Among the benefits included in the contract are use of a district-owned vehicle, reimbursement for out-of-county travel and for cellphone expenses, payment of membership fees in three professional and two civic organizations, payment of premiums for life, health and dental insurance and one medical exam per year.
Leonard Peace Sr., chairman of the board, expressed his approval of adding another year to Farley's contract.
"Our children benefit every day that he remains in Granville County," Peace said.
Farley pointed out he also has family reasons for staying in Granville County.
"My wife loves it here, and I have a son who's getting ready to graduate from high school," Farley said.
Farley reflected on how the job market for superintendents has changed over the 27-plus years he has worked in education. During those years he has taught German, coached and served as a principal, assistant principal and superintendent. Prior to coming to Granville County in 2007 he was superintendent of the Mt. Airy schools.
The job of superintendent isn't as attractive as it once was, he said.
"There are 34 new superintendents this year," Farley said.
By extending Farley's contract, the board of education provided for four more years of continuity and stability in administration of the district.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Jonas Brothers are disbanding.
Nick, Joe and Kevin announced Tuesday they're ending their highly successful run. The news comes after the brothers abruptly canceled their tour over creative differences earlier this month.
The breakup was first reported by People magazine. Publicist Jesse Derris confirmed the news and said no other details were available.
The brothers told People the breakup was unanimous and came after Nick Jonas told his brothers in a meeting earlier this month that he felt "trapped."
The New Jersey brothers formed the band in 2005 and built a fan base through their association with the Disney Channel.
The band had been scheduled to release its fifth album later this year.

TO: Members of the Lycoming College Community
FROM: Marshall D. Welch III, Chair
Presidential Search Committee
SUBJECT: Search Update
DATE: September 14, 2012
We are happy to report that the search for the next Lycoming president is progressing very well and remains on schedule. The closing date for applications has now passed and we are moving forward. The search committee met most recently on Thursday, September 13, and began to select candidates whose backgrounds and experiences ¬seem especially consistent with the qualifications established for the Lycoming presidency. The committee will meet again on October 2 to extend our evaluation and to select a small number of candidates who will be invited to confidential preliminary interviews with the search committee later in October. On completion of that round of interviews, the committee will select candidates to participate in more extensive interviews with representatives of all campus constituencies. We will notify you of the specific methods, dates, and time of this final phase of the search, as soon as they are determined.
We are extremely pleased with the quality of the candidate pool and, as a result, continue to be mindful of the need for complete confidentiality. All of our remaining candidates are engaged in other assignments with very significant responsibilities. To prematurely expose their interest publicly in Lycoming's presidency would likely result in their withdrawing from our search. We will move forward with an effort to strike the appropriate balance between maintaining confidentiality with enabling adequate exposure between the candidates and Lycoming's people and programs. If you have any questions, please let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for your continued interest and support.

I used to have the Nikon AF-S 70-200 VR and it was a good lens, but it felt cumbersome, unbalanced and I had primes that would beat it most of the time, especially at distance. I sold that lens and got a 70-200 VRII. The 70-200 VRII is a world of difference. Number one is it's very sharp, at any and all focal lengths, even wide-open. Better color, contrast, faster-more accurate focus and the VRII is amazing. It handles much better and is much more well-balanced. I no longer have any primes that beat this wonder-lens at equal apertures. This is the lens I go to automatically if I need the range of 70-200. Best lens I've ever owned. The ONLY drawback I've found with this lens is the lens hood. On one hand, it has a better lock than the older version, but on the other hand, the hood seems short and the petal edges are rounded so you can't stand the lens on its hood on standby when you need it fast. I have found a different hood that takes it's place and I now keep the original hood in the box.

I purchased new lens a month back and its AFS does not works after 2 weeks. Is it a common problem with Nikon expensive kind lens. I am totally disappointed with this after it happens. Also it was purchased from US and I am working in Middle-east it is very hard to send back to US for repair and too expensive for shipping back to US. It is very bad such kind of expensive lense does not providing a one year international warranty minimum.

Great Lens
By Epacheco29
from Florida, USA
Great Lens, Heavy, Very Sharp, 2.8 so it helps me to work better in sports and low light conditions.

I own the original version of the 70-200mm telephoto lens and use it with a D810. About all I can say is that it is an incredible lens. I take photos of wild life at various distances with VR on or off and the results are amazing. Zooming in during post edit can bring out perfect eyes, strands of fir/feathers, perfect patterns on butterfly wings, etc. I can't imagine that the second version of this lens can possibly be better. This is a great piece of glass and is well worth the money.

I've been a Nikon user and a fan for years. This lens is a bit of a monster, but it is so versatile. It's great, not only for portraits, but slso for landscapes and sports/action events. I'm getting more and more comfortable with the weight.
The greatest lens I have ever used.
By Sammy
from Victoria, BC, Canada
Hello all, wether you're wealthy and just scanning over a couple of quick reviews or obsessing over this lens like I did, you obviously want to know about this lens. I know that before I bought it I was constantly trying to justify the price as an aspiring photographer at the age of 15 who was lucky enough to get a summer job. I have personally tried the Nikon 70-200 f4, and the Sigma and Tamron 70-200 2.8s. Personally, (and If you're a Sigma user, brace yourself) If you're trying to decide between the 3 2.8s, I would forget about the Sigma entirely. Camera bodies will come and go, but good glass lasts forever which is why it's always best to buy the nicest quality glass, and the Sigma simply pales in comparison to the bad boy on your screen right now. I have had this lens for over a month now and it still does not cease to amaze me. Sure, its pretty big and fairly heavy when you get it, but those things I got used to within a couple of days of shooting with it. The image quality is nothing but the best coming from some of Nikon's best quality glass yet, and the VR works, as expected, like a dream. I was popping off shots handheld at 1/20 racked out at 200mm, and they're still incredibly, unbelievably, stupid sharp. I am totally comfortable taking this into torrential downpour, (obviously with a plastic bag over my D5100, which is by all means NOT weather sealed...) and shoot all day without a worry. I found the sigma's sharpness and VC to be slightly sub-par, and the image quality didn't have a whole lot of contrast. Did I mention this thing grabs focus like a freaking machine? Set it to infinity-5m and you've gone through it's range in 1/4 of a second. Great for wildlife and sports. Now, what it comes down to, or at least what it came down to for me, was this: What made this thing worth the extra $1,000 over the Tamron? and the truth is, not one single thing made me choose this one, rather a multitude of things. Its the many subtle yet obvious edges this lens has over the Tamron that make it an absolute joy to use. Everything about it is perfect in my mind, (then again, that may just be the honeymoon effect still taking place) and I definitely wouldn't trade it for a Tamron and $1,000. Best lens I've ever used. Magical. Bite hard and buy it. You won't regret it for a second.

Comments about Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Camera Lens:
One of the best lenses to have both for cinema and photography. Makes a great portrait lens as well as fabulous sports action. Add an 2X extender for super close shots of sporting events.
Expensive for a Hobbyist but no Regrets
By AustinMan
from Austin, TX, USA
As an amateur photographer, with an 80-400mm zoom lens already in my bag, this lens was a purchase of the heart, not the head. Any regrets? None. This lens is superb. While it may be a similar weight and length to the 80-400mm zoom, it is thinner, making it a little less obtrusive. The f2.8 aperture and fast auto-focus are wonderful. The image quality is 2nd to none. The negative, for me, weight and size. I travel almost weekly, and admit hauling a D610, plus a couple of lenses, can get tiring. On those weeks I want to travel light I take a 28 - 300mm lens. It does the job and fits in my carry on bags. Yes it is expensive for a non-professional, but if you are looking to purchase a lens that will give years of service, and thrill you with the quality of the pictures, the 70 - 200mm f2.8 has to be on the list.
Fast focus, great IQ
By Anonymous
from New England
This lens was purchased when I owned a D700 and like my other Nikon lenses, was permanently mounted until I switched to D800 bodies. Still my fastest focusing lens, with great sharpness, color and contrast; the vibration reduction feature works very well to reduce motion blur while photographing from my kayak.

FISHERIES UPDATE FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 29-July 5, 2014Compiled by George Pappas - (907) 786-3822, email@example.com
Office of Subsistence Management, USFWS.
The purpose of the weekly fisheries update is to provide the reader with an overall summary of the status of subsistence related fisheries throughout the state of Alaska. The target audience is the Federal Subsistence Board and its Staff Committee. The report was compiled with the assistance of the Federal in-season managers and OSM staff that provided weekly updated information by the close of business on Friday of the reporting week. My goal is to have the report posted on the Office of Subsistence website by the close of business the following Monday. Web links have been included to provide additional information. You may obtain additional information on a fishery of particular interest by contacting the in-season manager, provided contacts, follow the provided web links, or contact me.
Sitka and Hoonah Area – Justin Koller, Forest Service, Tongass National Forest
Justin Koller, (907)747-4297 firstname.lastname@example.com
The Forest Service operates the picket weir and video-equipped net weir at Redoubt Lake. The picket weir was fish tight the evening of June 16th. On July 6th 439 sockeye passed the weir bringing the season total to 4,392. The in-season model is predicting 45,420 sockeye will enter the lake this year with mean absolute percent error 27,292-63,549. Based on this model we typically have a good idea what the total escapement will be by mid-July. In 2013, an estimated total of 49,124 sockeye migrated into Redoubt Lake. The video equipped net weir was installed Wednesday June 25th.

Re: *THE OFFICIAL* WOW Thread
There are no new lands in WoW just yet, and the enchanting is worth it. The blue glow (+3, 5, 7 or 9 dmg for two handers, +1, 2, 4 for one handers) gives you an extra 20 damage for a +5 on a 2 hander, red is slaying, be it beast or demon. Depending on the strength of the slaying enchant, you can do extra damage to beasts (bears, tigers, wolves, spiders, things like that) and extra damage to demons (grells, grelkins, satyrs, demons, felbeasts, things like that) if you plan on upgrading your weapon not long after you get it, don't worry about getting it enchanted. If you are planning on keeping it for at least 6 or 7 levels, getting it enchanted it most definately worth it. I'd reccommend the +5 enchant, because it does extra damage to everything you fight, and it's cheap (about 3g to about 5g. price varies with enchanter). A tip for all the newbies out there, if you are sick of getting killed stamina is the stuff to go for. Stamina converts into extra Hit Points. +10 stamina is an extra 100 HP.

After 11 weeks and innumerable hangovers, Bret has finally found his rock of love in Jes. Good girls rule!
After the jump, Jes talks about her attraction to Bret, what it's like to date a man who's more than 20 years her senior, letting her guard down and what it was like to be one of the few sane people in a house full of crazies.
How did it feel to win?
It was a good feeling, definitely. It was weird, though, because after I won, pretty much everything stopped. The excitement was over and I was left wondering, "What do I do now?" It was a great feeling to win, but at the same time there was a sense of confusion.
From the beginning, you announced that you had no expectations when it came to Bret and the show. But you must have had something in your head. I mean, you were going on a dating show.
For the first two weeks, I was in the background. I didn't get involved and I was just kind of reading Bret and seeing what he does. You get to know him, you see he's a cool guy…it starts to become like a friendship. And that's really how all relationships are: you have a weird, awkward stage, you become friends and then you start to open up and then you start to get to know a lot about each other and then come the feelings. I don't know if it's love.
Bret took your tears during your final dinner with him as a sign of you letting your guard down. Was he correct?
Everyone has a guard. A lot of people know that they're guarded, but they don't know why or what it's for. I finally did and that was an emotional thing for me.
Is it because you were cheated on?
It was that, yes. And in relationships, I'm always afraid to say how I feel because of the fear of rejection. That was a huge thing for me from the beginning. Winning the show felt good because I didn't get rejected, but it didn't matter at that point anyway. I learned that I would have been OK with being rejected. I learned a lot about myself on the show.
What attracted you to Bret?
I think he's a good-looking guy. I definitely do. I think he has a great smile, and who doesn't love blue eyes? A lot of his physical characteristics are very attractive. And it's all especially because for a 45-year-old guy, he's a good-looking guy.
You were 4-years-old when "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" was released. That's…mind-blowing.
Yeah. And it's kinda weird that Bret is five years younger than my father. But at least, now I can say, "I made out with a guy that's 45 years old."
Do you usually go for older guys?
The oldest guy I've dated was 30. I've never dated anyone this old. (Laughs) But I do find myself getting along with and being attracted to older guys. More in common.
Heather put in some jabs during the finale about your age and whether or not you were ready for kids. Was that really ever presented as a possibility? Does Bret want more kids?
If he does, he hasn't told me. He talked about his daughters and my stance was always, "Whoever you end up choosing, they shouldn't have to be your girls' mom. They already have a mom. But the winner should be ready to be an adult figure in their life, so that if they have a problem, they can go to that person."
What's interesting about your win is that it was effectively a win for the nice girls versus the more…salacious girls.
I stuck to my morals from day one. I refused to portray myself in that manner. I'm not going to sit there and show affection to a man who's showing affection to 20 other women. I wouldn't do that in front of chicks to make them jealous. I don't play that game in my life and I refuse to play that game on TV.
But you had anticipated that sort of thing, right? I mean, you aren't living under a rock. You know what happens on shows like this.
To a certain extent, but I was really naïve. When I auditioned I figured, "Oh, this will be fun. There will probably be drama, but no big deal." I didn't expect that certain personality types would be in the house. I should have, but I just didn't. I also didn't predict how involved viewers would become. It's baffling to me.
Has your life changed?
My personal life hasn't changed a whole lot. I'm still me. I just have a ton of strangers coming up to me thinking that they know me. I know someone called me a snot because he approached me while I was eating. I asked if he could wait till I was done and he said, "That's pretty snotty of you." I said, "No offense, but I'm still a real person. If I want to eat my food in peace, that's what I'm going to do." It's weird.
What about the other side of the show, the competition aspect? How was it living with the girls? Did you make friends?
In my everyday normal life, I have maybe two girlfriends. Girls and I, we don't really mesh that well. I think sometimes that I'm too blunt and people can't stand it. On the show, that was my biggest fear: I don't get along with chicks and I have to live with 20 of them. Today, I'm friends with every single girl from Chicago. Brandi M. and I are really close. Heather and I are friends. We just got booked a gig together in October, and I'm really excited for her because I think she's an awesome chick. It's surprising to me that when it's all said and done, I've made a lot of girlfriends that I'm still friends with. I'm grateful for that. I think becoming friends with girls made me more sensitive instead of the wannabe badass that I think I am.
Lacey pulled you into the pool early on, but otherwise, it didn't seem like you had much drama on the show.
They portrayed that in my favor. I did freak out and the producers rushed outside: "Jes, do not hit her." I was screaming, "Get her the f*** out of my face right now." But I got over that quickly. I don't hold grudges.
Lacey perceived you as being snobby when she was trying to talk to you. Agree?
Yeah, I'll be honest. That was the first week in the house. It all goes back to the fact that I don't associate with people like that, meaning people who take their clothes off for guys. When she was sitting there talking to me and trying to be nice to me, I could already see through her. I knew that she was a manipulative bitch. I knew it! So no, I'm not giving into you. I'm going to be me. I'm not going to give you the time of day and I'm not going to fake and be nice to you for the sake of being nice. I'm sure it came off snotty, but that was me being me.
As a viewer, I bonded with you on the very first episode when you were openly laughing at Tiffany's antics. You reacted to the craziness like any reality-TV junkie would. Was it like entering a different dimension with all the extreme human behavior going on around you?
Yes. Words can't describe it. You put 20 chicks in the house with completely different personalities – some are psycho, some are too sensitive – and it's meant to be drama.
And then, whenever we'd cut to an interview featuring you, it brought like a moment of clarity. Like your comment about Heather's tattoo.
Right after we finished filming, I stayed for another two days to do about 14 hours of interviews. I started drinking during the sixth hour and got hammered because I mentally and physically couldn't do it anymore. It was the only way I could do it.
Was it tough dealing with the fact that you weren't allow to see Bret for about six months after the finale taped (per the rules of the show — they weren't allowed to be seen together so that the final result wasn't spoiled)?
Yeah. I was in the house for five weeks dealing with the drama and all that. It was honestly a relief to come back home. Those five weeks, you have no contact with the outside world. There's no one to convey your emotions to besides the 20 chicks you're battling with and Bret, who's battling with 20 chicks, himself.
How frequent has your communication with Bret been during the past six months?
Uh, once.
Jes should have more to say next week, after the Rock of Love reunion airs. Watch this space.
