ECE's Robotics Team is 2005 SECON Winner
ECE Robotics Team won 1st place in the 2005 IEEE Region 3 student hardware competition against 34 other technical universities in the southeast. The team of nine undergraduate students (Joey Cate, Brail Coleman, Derrick Coleman, Dhruva Duncan (Co-Captain), Ashley Hicks (co-captain), Allison Scogin, Tara Swope, Ed Vaughn, and Jesse Viviano) participated in the competition as part of their senior design project in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. The winning robot was designed and constructed over a period of nine months to autonomously play a game which involved navigating a playing field, recognizing field characteristics, collecting targets, and avoiding an enemy robot.
Unlike the previous competitions of three runs, this year's competition had a total of five runs. A qualifying round, 3 regular runs and a final run between the 1st and 2nd placed teams to determine the overall winner. Of all the teams registered, 27 were qualified and competed. Ranking going into the final run were:
1- MSU, 200 points
2- UAH, 180 points
3- University of Louisville, 100 points
4- University of Florida, 80 points
5- Tennessee Tech, 80 points.
The final competition between MSU and UAH was held at the banquet on Saturday night with all conference attendees present. The MSU team finished the final round in 1 minute and 26 seconds picking up all 5 balls while UAH was still working his way to pick up their first ball. Not only did the team win the final completion, they received the award for Best Ball Retrieval, having not missed one ball in all five runs.
Team advisor Dr. Erdem Topsakal congratulated the team for their hard work and dedication to the project. "I can't tell you how proud I am of the Secon team. Their hard work paid off. They represented MSU and the department best way you can imagine."
Once a wise man said,
"There are two types of men, those who make the history and those who witness". Be proud to be the makers of the history.

Gear Review
Ken V.
great mid level short
vastly superior styling as compared to solid black bike shorts, chamois has proven to be quite reliable over medium to long distance rides, my longest wearing these being 62 miles, not quite the level of my more expensive bibs, but for the price and the style, well worth it. I am 6'1" 175lbs with a 32 waist, I got the large, they fit pretty snug, I probably could've got away with the xl as well.

Awsome Forum guys sooooo helpful.
I just learned about the whole wii hack last week whithin 3 days I hacked my LU64 3.4 wii.
I have learned a lot since then I have loaders and emultaors and I have games on my usb hd it's awsome.
One question I have is I want to change to cIOS38_rev13 what is involved do I need to remove IOS16.wad and LU64.wad first through HomeBrew then install cIOS38_rev13 or should I just install on top of the others?
And what wad manager should I use I can't seem to install wad manager 1.4 should I use the custom or 1.3?
Don't remove those 2 wads! It really is best never to delete anything unless you know exactly what it does...all you have to do is run the cIOS13 installer and it will install over the old one (it installs as IOS249). Using wad manager 1.3 should be fine, what is the problem with 1.4? Does it not run? or...
sorry, i have one more question :P
will it ever be possible to use CIOScorp on the LU64+ wiis?
I heard its no longer in development or something...
Thanks I installed cIOS13 last night worked great now I can play Indiana Jones it does cause some usb loader freezes if I try to play another game before a wii reboot.
As for Wad installer 1.4 I was doing it wrong,but im good now.
I need someone help me. I just buy Wii LU64 system and upgrade to v4.0U
I download LU64Fix in this forum then I put on Wii console; I cannot run SD card in Wii
( in SD card I have: folder Custom WM, Lu64cIOS, Wad anf Wad Manager )
Could you tell me step by step because the first time I buy game system
I am so frustrated... My friend has a LU648... 3.4U wii. I am trying to install HomeBrew Channel but when I try to copy the twilight hack to the wii It says "Tha Data Was Not Copied". This is so frustrating bcause I cant do the LU64 fix on his wii w/o the twilight hack working... Please Help
@wiihow - you need the guide for sys menu 4 here
@omgmaserati - use bannerbomb m8, it's lots simpler....or use the twilight hack for 3.4
bannerbomb is awsome worked the first time I used it and I'm new to the whole scene.

Locations - Bendigo
Our first episode of Painting Australia takes us to Bendigo, Victoria and a site chosen by multi-award winning land artist John Wolseley.
We meet up with three local artists and set up camp at the Ballersteadt Gold Mine in Ironback Gully. Over the next two days John Wolseley will spend time Karen Annett-Thomas, Colin Bowes and David Marshall as they are inspired by this moonscape deserted mine.
Master Artist
John Wolseley
John Wolseley was born 1938 in England and settled in Australia in 1976. Over the past twenty years, he has been focused on a journey of discovery, exploring how we exist and interact within this dynamic landscape of which we are all a part. As a result of this journey, John has travelled and painted all over the continent, drawing inspiration from the deserts of central Australia to the forests of Tasmania and the tidal reaches of the far north west.
Johns exhibition, The Memory of Fire (2003) documented the eternal cycle of destruction and renewal through the different stages of a bushfire and the miraculous re-generation of the blackened trees and scrubs. Emerging from his interest in the evolution of the earths surface through continental drift, past exhibitions have also been similarly inspired: Tasmania to Patagonia: Tracing the southern continents (1996) and Tracing the Wallace Line (2001).
These exhibitions explored how the earths changing geological structures have metamorphosed over time and how the microcosmic world of species evolved and changed as an integral part of those greater movements.
John Wolseley is represented in all state galleries and numerous public and private collections. He is represented in Sydney by Roslyn Oxley Gallery and in Melbourne by Australian Galleries. John is also currently a Creative Fellow at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne.
Emerging Artists
Karen Annett-Thomas
Karen grew up in the small Victorian town of Hamilton and has always loved anything creative: painting came very naturally. After completing a Visual Arts degree through La Trobe University, she went on to complete a PhD focusing on memorials as mans lasting image on earth.
Karen and her partner moved to Bendigo 3 years ago. She has a very immediate style, using warmth and earthy colours in her paintings, instead of cold monuments. She uses a very course paint medium involving the combination of wax, oils, sand, gravel and sticks and other effects to layer onto the canvas and slowly peel back image details.
Karens awards include the Raw Arts Acquisitive Art Award in 2006, the WJC Banks Prize in 2004, the Lia Teresa Memorial Prize (Painting) in 2002 and the Siens Acquisitive Art Award Drawing Prize. In 2006 Karen won a British Council Scholarship where she undertook a Studio Residency at Cell Studios in London.
Finished Work by Karen Annett-Thomas
Colin Bowes
Colin started painting in early 2006. He is a furniture maker and ceramicist by trade. Colins paintings feature landscape; which he normally paints from his head, within his studio. First he thinks of a theme and then he paints his picture around it. Colin paints because he likes to explore the imagination. Its an opportunity to play with the humorous and the whimsical whilst also delving into the detail of everyday objects, the structure of the man-made and it's contrast to the simplicity and randomness of nature. For Colin, painting is pure escapism.
Finished Work by Colin Bowes
David Marshall
David has lived in Franklin Ford, near Bendigo for almost 20 years. Coming from a creative family, David was distracted from his artistic aspirations early on, becoming first a gardener and then a photographer, before starting his undergraduate visual arts course in 1999. He is now completing his Masters, drawing his inspiration from the Djadjawurrung Land in the Castlemaine area.
Finished Work by David Marshall
Master Class
by John Wolseley
Remind yourself that what you can't see is often more important than what you can see. Think about the big shapes under the surface such as the movement of rock stratas or the tree roots under ground that are as extensive as the visible parts of the tree. Painting the human figure is similar. The skin surface will look right if you have got the big shapes of the underlying bone structure. The bones of a landscape are made of rock.
Sometimes words get in the way. Try not to say - 'tree' or 'cloud' or 'river'. Think of a landscape as being made of 'fields ' or ' lines' of energy. Or think in terms of fields and lines of colour. When you look at what you are painting remind yourself that what you see is the great power and energy of nature which takes different forms - in water there are ripples or waves, on the tree the ripples of foliage, on the rock face the waves of stilled sedimentary energy. If in a painting you think of different 'energy fields' - ie different textures, stipples, blobs, ripples then in no time you will find that your painting has become an equivalent, or a symbolic representation of the world outside you. That's what a good painting can be. 'Energy is eternal delight ' - said William Blake.
Remember to look at the patterns and minute detail of the landscape. You will find that the patterns on a grasshopper's outer wing case says as much about the nature of the place as the broader shapes of the whole view. In fact they can lead you into an understanding of the dynamic of the particular landforms you are in. Often in a painting it is good to 'particularise ' - that's to say paint the minutiae of plant , insect or feather, and then to try to link and relate these passages to the bigger more generalised shapes of the landscape. Or visa versa.
Make the most of the marvellous openings or opportunities this country offers for artists. Get to know the land and its characteristic forms, Brigalow, or Gidgee , Mitchell Grass plains, or Desert Oak country. Within a 4 hours drive from Melbourne there are areas of Belah - rosewood plains, Bimble box - Cypress Pine savannahs, Myall floodplains, and many kinds of saltbush country which all require artists to celebrate them.
Allow time to be in a place before starting painting. Let the landscape sink into you. Move within it, investigate and don't forget to daydream.
Where Are We?
Bendigo is a large regional town in central Victoria, Australia, located in the City of Greater Bendigo. It has about 100,000 people and is the fourth largest town in Victoria after Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat.
The area was originally known as Bendigo's Creek, named for an employee on a local property who was nicknamed "Bendigo" after the famous English prize fighter William "Bendigo" Thompson. The area was settled in 1851, proclaimed a municipality in 1855, a borough in 1863 and a city in 1871. The town was officially known as Sandhurst but the name Bendigo was restored in 1891.
Bendigo grew as a result of gold mining in the mid to late 19th century. As a legacy of the Gold boom Bendigo has many magnificent ornate buildings built in a late Victorian colonial style, some with a "French" chateau feeling.

Canseco, R-San Antonio, accused the Transportation Security Administration of assault, which prompted one of the TSA screeners to claim the congressman assaulted him when his hand was brushed away brusquely during a pat down.[Read More]

The food was old and flavorless. I ate egg drop soup and the pu pu platter . My friend ate the sesame chicken. The food and service were without a doubt the poorest that I have ever had. Stay away !

Our regular place has closed so we thought we give Chinatown Garden a try. We went in for dine in and ordered : sweet & sour chicken, chicken and broccoli, and pork fried rice. We took our first bite into the s&s chicken and it was a hard, dried piece. A horrible taste. So I tried again with one that wasn't so hard. Still an unappetizing taste. My wife tried the chicken & broccoli: flavorless and dry. The pork fried rice had large chunks of pork in it but it still tasted bad. Not only that, the service was poor. In the beginning, they made us wait even though there is workers at front because they were chatting. The server talked very rude and slammed down our food on the table. When we complained they yelled, "then go somewhere else!" Me and my wife was stunned and speechless. We immediately got up leaving the ordered food along with money for the food because its not worth the trouble. And there they were, demanding for tip that did not meet 15% which they called required minimum. Later we found out they had very poor review already. This is the most disappointing restaurant I ever have encountered!

Stay away! If there was a possibility for 1 start, I'd most definitely choose it. To begin, my childhood friend came to visit and we wanted to show him a good time. We wanted Mings (the best Chinese in DC) but they were backed up for an hour (for a reason). The staff at Chinatown Gareden was extremely rude and slow. We waited a good ten minutes before someone came to us, and when they did, they just asked "what do you want to order?" I ordered the chow mein because I thought they would be crispy noodles, but when the dish came, it was a slop of old vegetables and stale crackers. I asked is this chow mein and the waitress yelled, yes YELLED!, " yeah, it's chow mein" and proceeded to throw it on the table. Needless to say the food was tasteless. The general consensus was that the food was bland. The most embarrassing part was when we were given our check we wanted to give a 12.5% tip, but the waitress began to argue with us. She yelled at my friend for daring to give such a bad tip when in honest she deserved nothing because she never once stopped to check how we were doing. We exacted revenge when a large group of about ten was about to walk in and we warned them before they suffered the same fate as us. Please...stay away and make sure businesses like this don't sully DC's name.

No one can beat this location and food servered so fast. We need something quick but good before a ball game. This was one of restaurant someone suggested to us. It's great and we will returnt again.

My wife, a vegetarian, ordered the garlic broccoli and was served Green Giant frozen broccoli that had been hanging around in a steam drawer for hours only to have some thin soy-like sauce containing some chopped garlic splashed over it. My dish of pork featured some pieces of hard pork soaking in a sauce remarkably similar to that my wife received except it was paired with the frozen Green Giant "Oriental Medley" from the adjoining steam drawer. Would be willing to bet that there are no more than 4 different steamed frozen vegetable mixes, several piles of pre-heated "meats" and less than a handful of sauces. Two dinners and two warm oil soaked egg rolls came to $31, and our waitress, conspicuously absent most of the meal, literally stood at attention about 8 ft away after delivering the check. My wife and I bantered on for some time, wearing the waitress out. I wrote "cook Chinese food" where the tip amount was supposed to go and we split.

This is the rare restaurant that achieves the grand slam; dreadful service, uncaring staff and absolutely subpar food. We should have left after the leaden, flavorless Vegetable won ton soup. Pan fried noodles, soft-shell crab and seafood with Chef special sauce (corn starch and chicken base) would not be acceptable in the fast-food take-outs across America. The prices were high. Quality low. Not Chinatown fare. Fortunately, I was able to dissuade the French family, walking into the joint, of entering, thus avoiding a possible international culinary incident.
Posted by Hannah on 03/21/2011
The spring rolls were cold on the inside even after we asked them to bring us new ones. There was lipstick on my glass. The servers were rude and the food in general wasn't better than a TV dinner. When I decided to not leave a tip, one of the waitresses accosted me and told me "what the tip should be." Hello, it's called gratuity for a reason! Later while looking at my credit card statement, they had added additional tip. Rude, sub-par, AND fraudulent? Disgraceful.

Romans 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Our mission as a Prayer Bear Group is very simple! Praying! We take prayer requests, sign guestbooks, offer encouraging words to the families, and most importantly pray for you, for the cubs, and the family. We would like to stand in the gap for the families when they need prayer. Sometimes the only encouragement a family gets is through the guestbook entries. Just knowing that someone was there to check on the well being of their child means so much and reading a message can make a huge difference in the rest of the day! We want to lift these families up, give them hope of better days ahead, and show the love of Jesus. Praying for the desire to be put in the hearts of our Prayer Bears to spread cheer, love, and have compassion for all man-kind.
Blessings and Bear Hugs

Bill Directing DSS to Re-Open Statewide Respite Care Program to New Patients Clears Hurdle
The Select Committee on Aging has unanimously passed a bill regarding the DSS Statewide Respite Care Program. Under this bill, the Committee has requested a transfer of $2.3 million from the Citizens Election Fund to DSS so that the respite care program could be re-opened to new enrollees. This would impact caretakers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. How your legislators voted
The Select Committee on Aging held a public hearing on Feb. 16th, where this bill was raised. This bill was referred to the joint Committee for Human Services on Feb. 22. Brie Johnston, the clerk for the committee, says, "I have the bill in my possession and it could be acted on as early as March 4th."
The bill says, "Such respite care services may include, but need not be limited to (1) homemaker services; (2) adult day care; (3) temporary care in a licensed medical facility; (4) home-health care; (5) companion services; or (6) personal care assistant services."
Sen. Edith Prague (D-Columbia), a member of the committee, said she has had difficulty garnering support for this bill because of negative feedback. She says she is pressing on because the issue is really important to her.
"The respite program has been closed to new members since last spring," Prague says. "There are 300 people on the waiting list. Caretakers struggle to take care of family members with Alzheimer's. When the caretakers don't get respite, they get sick."
"We absolutely must fund this program," Prague continued. "Spending money on this program is more important than giving politicians money for their campaigns. I support the campaign fund but not at this time when we can't support anything else."
Laurie Julian, public policy director for the Connecticut chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, was pleased with the result.
"The Alzheimer's respite care program makes sense," says Julian. "It is good for the patient, for families and makes business sense. It saves millions in Medicaid nursing home delays, and preserves jobs in the healthcare industry while protecting the patient and caregiver's health. "
Mag Morelli, the President of Connecticut Association of Not-for-Profit Providers for the Aging (CANPFA) is hopeful the bill will be part of the budget, although she added, "It's been hard to get anything this session."
"I don't know if people realize how much care is given by informal caregivers," Morelli says. "This respite care program is a small piece that the state can provide to allow caregivers to care for Alzheimer's patients. It saves the state something like a billion dollars keeping people out of nursing homes."
In a sufficiency report written in December 2009, the State Elections Enforcement Commission, whose Public Financing Unit oversees the Citizens Election Program, wrote: "Currently, the Commission finds that the CEF has sufficient resources for certain plausible scenarios for the 2010 election cycle. Without any additional cuts, the CEF should have at least $38 million for the 2010 election cycle. Therefore, the Commission has not identified an insufficiency at this time. However, the CEF is at a critical point—any further reductions would risk the State's ability to fund campaigns for statewide and General Assembly candidates in 2010…To date, $38.5 million has been swept from the Program to mitigate the State's budget deficit."
Beth Rotman, the Director of the Citizens' Election Program, says the December report does not take into account Gov. Rell's deficit reduction plan, which calls for an additional $12 million in cuts to the fund.
"Of course, the Commission is not in a position to judge the relative merit of different programs that I'm sure are worthy of funding," Rotman says. "Public financing has been called "change that makes change possible." We believe this program makes it possible for legislators to make the right decisions and we understand they make difficult ones every day."
Rotman says the Citizens Election Program helps legislators make decisions free of special interests' influence and says it costs the state more money when legislators make decisions for the wrong reasons.
The state's Department of Social Services declined to take a position on the bill.
"The bill will go to another committee or committees, and the department may offer comment or testimony at that time," spokesman David Dearborn says. "Our agency does not have cognizance over the citizens' election fund."
DSS has encouraged people interested in enrolling to seek guidance regarding their options, including the Connecticut Homecare Program for Elders while they wait to see if the respite program will be opened to new enrollees again.
When asked how many people in the respite program DSS referred to CTHPE from May 2009 to present, Dearborn says, "The number of individuals on the Connecticut Statewide Respite Care Program referred to the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders during this period was approximately 350 statewide." Here is the brochure for that program.
Previously, OurParents.com wrote a two part story on how the Statewide Respite Care program had been closed to new enrollees as of May 11, 2009. We'll keep you posted.

SARATOGA SPRINGS - Testimony is underway in the case of the 19-year-old illegal immigrant who is accused of trying to rape a 67-year-old woman.
Antonio Lopez Bautista is being tried on charges of assault, attempted rape and attempted kidnapping. He's accused of dragging the woman from a car, beating her and trying to rape her.
During opening arguments this morning, the prosecutor described in detail the horror the victim went through as she endured a three-minute attack near a Saratoga Springs restaurant.
Bautista's defense attorney called the incident "nothing short of a tragedy," and urged jurors to keep an open mind.

Ad fact check: Windstorm insurance
'Windstorm insurance rates are way too high. So why did our three state representatives vote to make our rates go even higher? Juan Garcia, Abel Herrero and Solomon Ortiz Jr. all voted for HB 2960 -- legislation that would have led to big rate increases for coastal residents and hurt the economy of our area. While those of us living here would pay higher bills folks out in West Texas would see their insurance bills drop. Maybe these guys ought to run for office in Amarillo. We sure can't trust them to represent us.'
The Nueces County Republican Party
While it is true that all three local legislators voted for the bill, what the ad doesn't say is that it passed unanimously in the Texas House. The bill eventually was defeated in the Senate. HB 2960 dealt with the Texas Windstorm Association's ability to issue pre- and post-catastrophe bonds. Both candidates in the District 32 race support similar measures, though it's unclear if Republican candidate Todd Hunter would have voted for the bill.
When asked for a source of the claims that the bill would have lowered insurance rates in West Texas and raised them for coastal residents, local Republicans pointed us to an analysis of the bill done by the House Research Organization. The analysis contains claims that the bill would raise rates for coastal residents, but only in portions where the analysis cites opponents of the bill. It is not, in other words, the conclusion of the House Research Organization that the bill would raise insurance rates on the coast. The bill, however, would have removed a cap on the amount the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association would have been able to raise insurance bills.
The analysis is silent on all fronts on whether it would have lowered insurance rates for people in West Texas. A representative of Amarillo, Republican John T. Smithee, who sponsored the bill, said lower insurance rates for inland areas was not a reasonably foreseeable outcome of the bill.

UNC's Hatchell: Hall selection 'fires me up'
Sylvia Hatchell said that being elected to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame is the ultimate achievement for a basketball coach.
Now she's received the honor, but that doesn't mean she's ready to start winding down her career.
"I feel great, I couldn't be any healthier and I've got as much passion now as I've ever had," Hatchell said Tuesday.
After being formally introduced as part of the Naismith Class of 2013 during the men's championship game Monday night in Atlanta, Hatchell was back at North Carolina on Tuesday afternoon. As her players conducted shooting drills on the court at Carmichael Arena, Hatchell spoke in an interview room about what the most recent honor meant to her.
"This is something you dream of," Hatchell said. "If you have a passion for basketball, this is the next best thing to being in heaven. To be honest, this was on my bucket list."
Hatchell has 908 career wins, the second-most in Division I women's basketball history behind former Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, and is the only coach to win national championships at three different levels. The Gastonia native won the 1982 AIAW and 1986 NAIA titles during her first head coaching job at Francis Marion, and then led UNC to the 1994 NCAA title when Charlotte Smith hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer in the final.
"I kid Charlotte all the time about (that) she made the shot that changed my life, and it really did," Hatchell said. "This is probably an example of that. Without that championship, this probably would not have happened."
As UNC gears up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that title, Hatchell said she is looking forward to adding to it.
"Someone asked me now that you've gotten the Naismith, what's left?" Hatchell said. "I said, 'How about a few more championships.'"
The Tar Heels graduate three starters off a team that finished 29-8 this past season but bring in the No. 1 recruiting class, which includes four of ESPN's top 25 recruits in the Class of 2013. All four of those prospects called Hatchell on the same day last spring to tell her they were heading to UNC, which Hatchell called "the single best one day in recruiting in the history of women's basketball."
Hatchell received a similar call last Wednesday, when a Naismith official informed her she was being selected.
"I'm like, 'OK, am I going to wake up, is this for real?'" Hatchell said. "I couldn't really talk, I was in such shock."
After the Naismith class finally was announced on Monday — the group includes fellow coaches Rick Pitino, Jerry Tarkanian and Guy Lewis — Hatchell spent the rest of the day charging her phone constantly as well-wishes from colleagues and former players came in.
Hatchell hasn't quite caught up yet — a message from Marion Jones was waiting in her office Tuesday — but she already is looking ahead. Hatchell has set up practice plans for the fall and is eager to add to her résumé.
"This fires me up even more," Hatchell said. "I want to do even more than what I've already done."

Myeongbeom Kim
Myeongbeom Kim plays with visual associations and surreal connotations of many an object, altering them to present new meaning to sometimes baffling but always brilliant effect. For example, a three-legged chair is supported by balloons (a favourite sculptural tool for Kim), keeling over after a duration while an axe is whittled from a young tree left mid-chop in a stump. Invariably exhibition-based pieces but occasionally a man hangs out in a boat with an oak tree for a mast. Illogical loveliness.

Another patient says disgraced doctor violated her
By Craig Kapitan : June 18, 2013 : Updated: June 18, 2013 9:53pm
Dr. Calvin Day, a dermatologist, was convicted by a jury Monday on sexual assault charges.
Dr. Calvin Day is being held without bail after jurors returned a guilty verdict.
Photo By Billy Calzada / San Antonio Express-NewsDistrict Attorney Susan Reed denies ever having sexual relations with Dr. Calvin Day.
Photo By Billy Calzada/San Antonio Express-NewsDr. Calvin Day, left, who is accused of rape, sits in the witness stand as first assistant district attorney Cliff Herberg, Rico Valdez of the Bexar County DA's appellate division, Catherine Babbitt of the Family Justice and Victim Protection Division and defense attorneys Jay Norton and Alan Brown confer with Judge Ron Rangel during a pre-trial hearing on Tuesday, June 4, 2013. Day is accused of rape and says that the District Attorney's office should be recused because he had sex with Reed in Las Vegas in 2006. Reed denies that it happened.

Dr. Day's fate now is up to the jury
Another woman told jurors Tuesday that her trust in Dr. Calvin Day as one of San Antonio's top dermatologists was destroyed when he violated her sexually during and after an exam.
Prosecutors have now called four separate accusers — a mix of former employees and patients — during the punishment phase of the disgraced doctor's sexual assault trial, and more are expected Wednesday.
Day, 61, was ordered held without bail Monday after jurors returned a guilty verdict regarding a fifth woman who said she was assaulted in a secluded area of his office in August 2010.
The patient who testified Tuesday said she was referred to Day in 1998 to have a precancerous spot removed from her chest.
The woman, now 56, was stunned but obeyed when Day ordered her to get completely nude and then took pictures of her entire body "close enough that I could feel him breathing," she said.
After the exam, as they both sat inside Day's office, he reached across his desk to place his hand on hers and said, "I'd just like to tell you I like the size of your breasts," the woman recalled.
"I have never felt so violated in my life — I have to tell you that," the woman testified, explaining that she left the office immediately and took the rest of the day off work so she could go home and shower. "When I left, I felt like a rape victim."
But thorough full-body examinations for high-risk cancer patients are "the gold standard," defense attorney Jay Norton said.
Norton also pointed out that the accuser returned to Day's office five more times — odd behavior, he said, for someone who felt violated.
"At the time, he was supposed to be the best and the only one to go to" for that kind of surgery, the woman responded. "I had to put my feelings aside. I didn't have a choice."
The woman didn't give a police statement until after Day's arrest, but she said she suspected she wasn't alone and was waiting for someone "brave enough to bring it to the public."
Earlier in the day, the defense also wondered why another accuser — formerly a nurse for Day's office — waited more than a decade to tell the police about an odd after-hours incident in which she said Day ordered her to conduct a laser hair removal procedure on his genitals.
"It was my word against his — a very well-know physician," the nurse said. "I didn't think anybody would believe me. This was so out there."

Agreed. This is a dead team walking (or striking out, as the case may be).
Time for the youth movement to begin in earnest. I'd rather see Clippers north than the garbage we are getting from some of the veterans on the team. This team was built on hopes and dreams and the results were, unfortunately, predictable (though I did hold out hope for awhile). The front office expects players to all reach or exceed their potential all at the same time. I'm just not sure what the plan is going forward.
We shall see how much of a "showdown" the series with the Tigers is. I hope the Tribe can at least play spoilers if not continue to contend. The reference to their record since last last year sums it all up - this team ultimately is a .500 team.
One down, one more to go. It is very important that Weeden get to camp on time.
I want to believe things will get better this season but I think we have seen the best this team can offer. The front office has continued to hope and pray that all the stars would align at just the right time and everyone would click at the same time. Unfortunately, that has not happened but is what needs to happen for this team to be successful. They rely on too many players excelling beyond where they have historically or suddenly breaking out.
Clearly some of you have not been to Columbus lately. There are plenty of problem spots on the freeways that need attention, including one of the biggest (I71-I70 split) under construction now. I would compare this project, as how the resulting work will impact traffic flow, to the work going on now to update/fix the Innerbelt.
The idea that DMC would have been fixed long ago if it was in Columbus is laughable. It is all about funding and priorities- on a statewide basis. Last time I checked there were representatives from ALL areas of the state in the legislature, in addition to regional representation through ODOT. Contact your local legislators and/or ODOT regional director if you want this moved up the priority list. I'm sure folks in Columbus would be happy (and surprised) to know they can skip all these layers and move straight to the top of the priority list.
This is what you get from a team made up of spare parts. They are literally an injury away from dropping to the bottom of a very mediocre division. As has been the case for several years now the Indians continue to be baffled by pitchers making their first start against them. I want to get excited about this team but the make it very difficult.
Great game, great series. This team has played some amazing baseball this season.
A well deserved for Irving. Hopefully this is just the beginning of his success in a Cavaliers uniform.
Very cool to see it finally open. While I'm not a gambler and live in Columbus now, I'm very excited for my home town. Lots of good things happening. I hope the estimates for attendance are not a wildly optimistic as they seem so far, especially after the other three Ohio casinos open.
If he was doing "God's work" why not share this information when the story first broke? He has been humbled because he knows that what people want to hear now. I wish him well in Oakland but still don't believe his version of events.
Rover and his cast mates are terrible - not for these types of comments, but because they try so hard to be funny and fail miserably. The end result of this is publicity for the show, good, bad or otherwise, which I'm sure they are enjoying.
I'm still not sure what difference it makes. Both teams think they got a good deal. I'm not convinced the rumor mongers have the story straight anyway. Peter King says TB was not serious. Adam Schefter says the Browns told Colt they would not draft a qb. All this chatter just serves to feed the rumor mill and their respective egos. The Browns got their man and seemingly paid a fair price to do so.
Now, as far as the rest of the draft goes...that remains to be seen.
"Contracts for the project were open to all bidders and awarded to the lowest qualified bidders," Totino said.
What a concept. This idea that paying more means the job is done better is not a universal truth. The idea that someone must be getting the shaft because the union did not get "theirs" is absurd.
Bidders were asked to aim for giving 15 percent of the work to minority-owned companies, 8 percent to local small businesses and 7 percent to female-owned enterprises. City rules refer to the figures as goals, not quotas.
Ha! Rest assured these "goals" act as de facto quotas. So the 18% difference in work to qualified companies > $200,000 difference in price (assuming job quality is essentially even). That makes sense if you work for the city.
I too question why hand writing was a factor at all in this. That seems strange.
Talk about tone deaf. Does his agent think this sob story will garner support for Pashos? I feel bad for Pashos as a person, but this is a business decision. He chose to keep playing last season while injured. The Browns training staff was willing to go to bat for him if he wanted to shut it down. Given the circumstances, and his performance as a member of the Browns, the team would have been foolish to keep him around.
Sounds like Dennis needs a warm bottle and a diaper change. Boo hoo. I am not a fan of the way candidates tear each other down but that is the reality we live in. It is a sad reflection on the voters in his "old' district that it took some major gerrymandering to get him out of office. In hindsight, perhaps he was the best candidate to represent these folks.
You never changed the channel or left your seat when Albert was at the plate. The Indians have not had many players like that.
Get well soon Tom.
This is good news in advance of free agency and the draft. Jackson has not been a Pro Bowler but losing him, at a position where there already is need, would be much worse. He has earned this and I hope he can stay healthy. He played very well and has proven to be a leader. Another positive is not having to use the franchise tag on him.

CARFAX helped us avoid buying a lemon. We had made plans to drive 3 hours to get my dream car, and at the last minute I purchased a CARFAX, just to be sure. I discovered that the car had been in several accidents, had more owners than we were told, and had 80,000 more miles than the odometer showed. Obviously something wasn't quite right, so we didn't end up making that trip. We dodged a bullet, thanks to CARFAX.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
A previous post detailed the eclectic history of the Uline Arena, also known as Washington Coliseum, the barrel-roofed hall that from the 1940s through the 1980s hosted everything from hockey and basketball to a rodeo featuring Roy Rogers and Trigger. But the arena, located at the corner of M and 2nd Street NE with an entrance on 3rd Street, also has a rich musical history.
Jazz great Charlie Parker played there in April 1951, on a bill that also included June Christie and Johnny Hodges. A decade later, Duke Ellington and his orchestra played to a packed house as part of the First International Jazz Festival in Washington. Country star -- and Winchester, Virginia native! -- Patsy Cline was scheduled to play there 10 days after her death in March 1963. (Dottie West took her place.)
Of all the acts to play the old Coliseum, the Beatles show on February 11, 1964 probably takes the cake.
If you ride the Red Line Metro, you've probably seen it out the window at the New York Avenue stop: A massive, rust-colored structure with a curvilinear-trussed roof. It looks like an abandoned warehouse or factory, or a repair shop for ancient locomotives. You'd probably never suspect that 50 years ago in February, the Beatles played their first U.S. concert there. It also was the home of Washington's first NBA team, and hosted events ranging from figure skating and midget auto racing to Dwight Eisenhower's 1957 inaugural festival and a 1959 speech by Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad.

Welcome to my writing portfolio. I am a multimedia journalist, content marketing writer and editorial consultant with more than seventeen years' experience both on staff and, lately, as a freelance.
My work has taken me from beachside Roman ruins in Italy and chocolate boutiques in Paris to salt marshes, wineries and ostrich farms in the farthest-flung corners of Britain.
During the past few months, I have explored the wild Maremma coastline for Country Life, tasted blue cheese ice cream for Woman & Home, revealed Britain's equestrian property hotspots on Horse & Hound and investigated the impact of the mansion tax for Forbes.com. And because I have a particular interest in prime residential property, I have also enjoyed sneak peeks at some of the world's most amazing houses in London, Barcelona, Florence and Marrakech.
This makes my life sound all glamour and no graft, but in the recent past I have also edited several consumer and custom magazines, given keynote speeches about the global property market and provided high quality content to leading consumer brands who are looking for new ways to engage their target audience online.

CRESTVIEW — Nick Belvin is searching for spiritual fulfillment and professional preparation.
In October, he will hike the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal to achieve both goals.
The Crestview resident intends to do the 230-kilometer circuit — which rises to 5,400 meters (17,716 feet) high — in about 20 days.
Afterward, Belvin will return to Chiang Mia, Thailand, for a second year as an English-as-a-foreign language teacher at the private Pongpikul School.
The trek will "rev me up and get me ready to start teaching," he said.
"I miss my school," Belvin said of the stimulating 500-student environment, where art covers the walls and American pop music plays from the speakers.
"The owner likes Creedence Clearwater Revival and Elvis," Belvin said. "Every morning they call the students to attention with Queen's 'We Will Rock You,' with the kids clapping along."
Plenty of progress has been made since Belvin's first days of teaching, he said.
"They didn't know what I was saying and I didn't know what they were saying," he said. "I thought, 'This is never going to work' and wrote my resignation letter the first week. But I sat on it."
Soon, Belvin realized something.

The science of a city merger
Kevin Chill Heard | 5/7/2014, 2:40 p.m.
Councilman Johnson as already stated that a "Northeast Region" of Cleveland would greatly serve that area of Cleveland residents. He sees no reason why inclusion of the East Cleveland area into that part of Cleveland would not enhance and further benefit all parties.
Johnson offered a scenario where he may have to come to the residents of East Cleveland to seek votes for election to Cleveland City Council if the suburb became a part of Cleveland. He also suggested that a reorganization of the suburb's political leadership into Cleveland may be just what the residents need.
"I believe the long term benefit for East Cleveland and Cleveland is for both cities to merge. I am deeply concerned about the future of East Cleveland. I hope in the end we can provide the residents another option of governance that they will support," added Johnson.
Choosing to stay on the side of further investigation, Kevin Conwell has yet to come out on a side for merger or not. He did attempt to calm a few fears that many East Clevelanders have about losing their community identity by pointing to Cleveland areas like Little Italy, Tremont and Ohio City as a few that maintain their distinctive characters.
Both Tremont and Ohio City were municipalities that merged into Cleveland.
Johnson added ironically that Glenville itself was a separate city that merged with Cleveland.
