Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, City Council President Barbara Johnson and Police Chief Tim Dolan recently released statistics showing that violent crime in Minneapolis fell 6.3 percent in 2011, for a 28-year low. In addition, Part I crime (violent and property crime together) remains at low levels not seen since the 1960s.
"For several years now, we have made critical investments in our police—and for the fifth year in a row, violent crime in Minneapolis has fallen significantly compared to the year before," Rybak said. "Committed officers, strong leadership, smart policing and engaged community members—not to mention the taxpayers who have invested in all of them—deserve our thanks for these encouraging results and for bringing crime down to levels not seen in decades."
Highlights of the 2011 year-end crime statistics include: Violent crime in 2011 fell 6.3 percent compared to 2010 and fell 10.3 percent compared to 2009. Overall, violent crime has fallen 42 percent since 2005. The number of violent crimes committed in 2011 was lower than any year since 1983, for a 28-year low. The number of homicides committed in 2011 (32) fell compared to 2010. Overall, homicide has fallen 44 percent since 2006 and is lower than any year since 1985, with the exception of 2009. The number of robberies committed in 2011 rose 2.7 percent compared to 2010 but is flat compared to 2009. Overall, robbery has fallen 50 percent since 2005 and is at levels not seen since before the 1980s. Part I crime in 2011 (violent and property crime together) rose 4.3 percent compared to 2010 but is still at levels not seen since the 1960s.
"The strong partnership of police, prosecutors and community has produced these very good results for our neighborhoods," said Council President Johnson. "The recent, tragic death of three-year-old Terrell Mayes, however, reminds us how important it is to keep at this work and keep driving crime down. Even one violent crime is too many."
Even as Minneapolis experienced several tragic, high-profile shooting deaths of youths in 2011, violent crime among youth continues to drop. From 2006–10 (the last year that full statistics are available), the number of youth suspects involved in violent crime dropped 60 percent. Mayor Rybak credited the City's Youth Violence Prevention initiative and the Blueprint for Action for this notable decline.
"We mourn the young people we have lost; they should have lived much, much longer," Mayor Rybak continued. "But the solid framework that helps us learn from those losses is firmly in place. We commit to keep learning and to keep working every day to ensure a safe future for our children."
Chief Dolan said, "Overall, I am pleased that the city is maintaining crime reductions achieved across the city in the last several years. The employees of the department are performing well and have led the way on several successful efforts. Their relations with our communities and professional partners have received high grades. We do have rising concerns, especially with youth-related violent crime and burglaries, but we'll keep working together to solve those issues."

East Tennessee State University students are signing up by the hundreds for the school's first winter session.
"Our target was 1,000" students, said Sarah Bradford, director of summer school programs at ETSU. "I think we're certainly going to hit our projection of 1,000 students."
The winter session, scheduled for Dec. 20-Jan. 27, has been in development for a few years. The session is intended to provide extra opportunities to take classes to graduate on time or early and to provide extra revenue for ETSU.
Originally, Bradford planned to have between 40 and 50 course offerings. Enthusiasm among faculty and administrators, including President Paul E. Stanton Jr., for the new session increased the offerings to 70 courses from five of the school's colleges.
The College of Arts and Sciences offers the most courses, including those in criminal justice, political science, chemistry, English, history and math. The colleges of education, clinical and rehabilitative health sciences, continuing studies and academic outreach and business and technology also will offer courses.
"It's really a big spread" of classes, Bradford said.
All the classes are totally online.
The school is closed is Dec. 26–30. Bradford said students will have access, online, to services from the registrar, tutoring, the library and technical assistance during that week.
Faculty will receive compensation for teaching during the winter session. The school will make money, though. Eventually, ETSU hopes to generate about $1 million from the session.
Caryn Cash is an ETSU senior majoring in general studies. She plans to enroll in the master's degree in occupational therapy following graduation.
Cash delayed college to serve as a medic in the Army for 6½ years, so she was eager to finish her degree to move on to graduate school.
"So the winter term prevents me from having to take 18 to 20 hours each semester," Cash said. "And it won't put so much pressure on me my final semester."
Cash had been taking 16 hours of class each semester. A full-time load for an undergraduate student is considered to be 12 hours of classes.
"I just think it's a great idea that ETSU did and I was like, 'I'm taking advantage of it,' " Cash said of the winter session.
Chris Holmes also is a senior majoring in interdisciplinary studies, with an emphasis in marketing and management.
Holmes said the winter session will allow him to graduate in May rather than December 2012, which was his original plan.
"It's amazing, because that means I'll be able to enter the work force almost seven months earlier than I was supposed to," he said. "There's not that many words to tell you how wonderful it is to get done with school," Holmes said.
The session will last a few weeks into the spring 2012 semester. It overlaps on purpose in part to give students the option of using their spring financial aid toward the winter term.

Rick Morgan, Owen County emergency management director, would like to remind residents that a flood can happen to your home even if you are not near a river or creek. Floods can happen anywhere, throughout the year, and are more common than you might think.
Some of the information we have learned during the 2010 flood are: Where it can rain it can flood. Floods are consistently the most common, costly and deadly natural disaster Americans face each year – 90 percent of all natural disasters in North America involve flooding.
A requested recanvass of votes in the May primary election came up with the same results.
According to Owen County Clerk Joan Kincaid, a recanvass was requested by second-district constable candidate Bryan Riddle.
The race was very close with incumbent Don Slaughter holding off Riddle's challenge by three votes, 287-284.
"In a close race like this, a recanvass is pretty common," Kincaid said.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. The weather was great. Finally, a weekend with no rain. I could've laid out by the pool this weekend only it isn't quite ready yet. I'm sure we'll be working on that this week.
The Owen County Rebels entered the 31st District Tournament May 24 with nothing to lose. The Rebels were hoping to carry the momentum gained from the win over Grant County into the contest with Carroll County.
The Panthers had defeated Owen County twice during the season and were looking to advance to the championship game. The Rebels' plans also included taking a trip to the title game and capping off a disappointing season with a trip to the 8th Region Tournament.
As far as we can tell, Nancy and I aren't kin, not even a smidgen. However, my cousin's grandmother (that would be Uncle Ed Hudson's wife who was a Davis) is her great-aunt. Thus, in the exacting way of computers, her Google quest for roots led her to my Hudson Family tree posted on the Internet.
\Despite dark skies and the threat of rain, fans came out strong for Elk Creek Winery's popular summer concert series kick-off.
The series began Friday with a show by a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Beach Boys.
The group took the audience on a musical journey, performing hits that spanned their entire career, including "409," "Help Me Rhonda," "Good Vibrations" and "Kokomo."
General Manager of Elk Creek Winery Kristine Walker said about 1,400 attended the show.
Before taking the field May 24, the Owen County Lady Rebels were sure of one thing. If they were going to win the 31st District Tournament, they would have to go through a pair of nemeses.
The first was Gallatin County. The two teams split four games during the regular season. No team won any of the four by more than three runs, and Gallatin County won its two games in the final at-bat. As a result, it was assumed that the first round district match-up would be similar. It was.
There is supporting a cause and then there is dedicating yourself to a cause.
This weekend, dozens of Owen countians braved some showers and then some humidity and then long hours to show how much they care about and will sacrifice for the people in Owen County who are, or perhaps will be, battling cancer.
Although the 13th annual Owen County Relay for Life formally kicked off promptly at 7 p.m. Friday, the work that led to that moment began months before. That dedication also led to a happy announcement during the opening ceremonies.
On May 22, the Owen County Judo Team competed in Portland, Ind., at the Indiana State Judo Invitational and placed seventh out of 29 teams.
The Owen County Judo Team returned with four first-place medals, three second-place medals, three third-place medals and one fourth-place. award
Team players placed as follows: Chelsae Smith, second; Jamie Sourders, third; Robert Beverly, first; Zac Widener, second; Noah Malcomb, first; Laura Lubbe, third; Madison Lubbe, third; John Thompson, second; James Thompson, first; Douglas Tyler, first; and Brandon Tyler, fourth.
I planted knockout roses on the graves of my parents, grandparents and late husband last year. I visited their graves at the first of the month to see how they were doing and to trim them up a bit.
Imagine my surprise when I went to decorate my loved ones' graves this weekend and found one of them had been dug up, the hole filled and leaves spread over the now vacant spot where it once stood.
Did you think I wouldn't notice that I was missing one rose?
Did you, perhaps think it might grow better in your yard and rescued it.

OLYMPIA -- While many students likely took advantage of Presidents' Day to catch up on homework or sleep, students from Washington State University Vancouver joined their peers from across the state to protest tuition increases and poor funding for public universities.
"This rally is all about getting noticed," said Daniel Nguyen, the president of the Associated Students of WSU Vancouver. "Over 50 percent of our graduates stay in Clark County. That helps the local economy and our state, and we need to make it affordable for our people to stay here."
Students from WSUV distributed pamphlets with information about perceived threats to higher education, including differential tuition increases, which would allow universities to increase tuition for high-demand, high-cost degrees. Generally these degrees are science, technology, engineering and math majors, known as STEM majors.
House Bill 1043 and its companion, Senate Bill 5548, would limit a university's ability to make differential tuition increases. The bill in the House passed, and the bill in the Senate has been referred to the Higher Education Committee.
Amber Clark, a part-time first-year student at WSUV, met with state Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, to discuss her $9,500 debt.
"If tuition increases again, I'll probably have to drop out," said Clark.
Clark said Rivers was understanding, partly because her children used the Guaranteed Education Tuition program to help pay for school.
Program's funding could be cut
GET allows parents to buy credits that cover a portion of future tuition for the most expensive university in the state. Because of recent tuition hikes, GET is losing money for the state, and legislators have considered cutting the program's funding.
"Eleven percent of students at WSU Vancouver used GET to pay for school," said Emily Vis, a WSUV sophomore who owes $9,000.
About 300 people attended the Monday rally. WSU's Facebook page claimed 99 attendees, 21 of them from WSUV. WSU students planned to follow up on their demonstration by meeting with about 90 state lawmakers.
The rally featured testimonies by students from Bellevue Community College, The Evergreen State College and WSU, as well as by legislators. Many of the students demonstrating held up signs with the amount they owe.
Students from Evergreen dragged a large inflated ball and chain with the words "$1 Trillion" on it around the front of the Capitol.
The state pays for approximately 30 percent of a student's tuition. Previously, the state covered 50 percent.
Many at the rally acknowledged that it might be tough to get legislators to help post-secondary education when they're working to comply with a court mandate that they adequately fund K-12 schools.
"It's not going to be easy," said Sen. David Frockt, D-Seattle. "Fully funding K-12 has to be a priority."
Frockt said he would be looking for ways to prevent tuition rates from increasing, he told students.

Authorities probe Springfield shooting; 3 taken to hospitalJune 11,2014By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
Three people were taken to Springfield Hospital today following a shooting on Summer Street and police are searching a remote road in the eastern part of town for suspects who were involved.
At about 3:35 p.m. police and ambulance personnel were claled to 47 Summer St. overlooking the downtown for reports of multiple gunshots.
Three people were taken to Springfield Hospital, according to Springfield Select Board Chairman Kristi Morris, and at least one person was airlifted to Darthmouth-Hichcock Medical Center in Lebanon. N.H.
Morris, who also works as an emergency medical technician and assisted ambulance crews at the scene, said that all three arrived alive at the hospital. He also said he observed gunshot wounds to some of the victims, but not all of the victims.
By 5:30 p.m. police were still at the scene and were searching Route 143 East for an unknown number of suspects.
Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston said there was no risk to public safety.
Police also arrested a woman at a downtown pizzeria, about 100 yards from the scene of the shootings. Her identity was unknown. She was led from the restaurant in handcuffs.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

West Ashley looked like the top ranked team in the state when it hosted Summerville.
The Lady Wildcats, ranked first in the Class AAAA state coaches poll, handed the Lady Green Wave a 62-29 loss Wednesday. West Ashley (4-0) jumped out to a 23-6 lead in the opening period and took a 37-12 lead into halftime. Summerville (2-1) managed to slow the Wildcat scoring a little in the second half, but not enough to matter.
I give them all the credit, Summerville coach Matt Legare said. They are a great team and they outplayed us. I just wish we would have played up to our capability because I think it could have been a closer game. Hopefully we will get better so that we can stand up to teams like them by the time the playoffs get here.
Baylor commit Dekeiya Cohen led all shooters, scoring 19 points for West Ashley. Jue McLemore added 15 and Jhanice Stokes 13 for the Lady Wildcats.
Heather Chapman led Summerville with 15 points and Rodnesha Capers added 6.
Summerville travels to Hanahan Saturday and hosts Wando Dec. 17.
Summerville (29): Mazyck 2, Heather Chapman 15, Capers 6, Z. Green 4, Aldridge 2.
West Ashley (62): Waddy 4, Fyall 1, Dekeiya Cohen 19, Starr 7, Wesolek 2, Jhanice Stokes 13, Jue McLemore 15, Mack 1.

Interview: Garfield's Jim Davis
By Amy Nicholson
The double-entendre title has an extra level of irony because though the film is bigger and longer, it is not precisely uncut. The MPAA ratings-board members sent it back with an NC-17 more than once before it was finally trimmed to their satisfaction.
If any movie ever went out of its way to snare the ratings board into a litigation trap, it's this one. The story itself is about movie ratings; the MPAA is mentioned by name -- far from favorably -- and the board must have acted with extreme care not to appear personally vindictive in their actions here. The movie also deals with the utterly unproved and probably unprovable conventional wisdom about what children should and shouldn't see. There has been a record amount of moralizing whizzing through the ether since the Columbine shootings, and, given South Park's Colorado setting and its history of pushing the boundaries of tastelessness, it must have taken painful restraint for the filmmakers to avoid making reference to that other Colorado town.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut opens with "Mountain Town," an Oklahoma-like production number in which little Stan Marsh sings an entirely inaccurate paean to his hometown. Soon Stan and his buddies -- Kyle, the lonely Jew; selfish, "big-boned" Eric Cartman; and the eternally incomprehensible and doomed Kenny -- con their way into the local movie theater to watch Asses of Fire, the new epic from Canadian TV stars Terrence and Philip, whose entire shtick is composed of farting and obscene insults. ("Philip, you pigfucker!" "Why did you call me a pigfucker, Terrence?" "Well, first of all because you fuck pigs.")
Not surprisingly, the kids emerge spouting even more foul words than previously, shocking and infuriating teachers and parents. In no time, Kyle's irritating, do-gooder mother has launched a national campaign against Terrence and Philip in particular and all of Canada in general. This culture war quickly escalates into an actual war, with the parents embracing mass carnage and violence in their crusade to protect their innocent children from the hideous threat of potty-mouth.
At the same time, Satan and his new lover, the recently deceased Saddam Hussein, are having relationship difficulties, even as they plan to surface during the war and take over the earth for a millennium's worth of evil. Luckily, Kenny, killed during a misbegotten baked-potato/heart transplant, is around to overhear their schemes.
There's stuff here for both longtime fans and newbies. The newbies may get a slightly bigger buzz from the initial shock of hearing such language come from the mouths of a bunch of elementary-school kids. But only the devout will quite understand the context of songs like "Kyle's Mom Is a Bitch" (reprised from the infamous 1997 episode with Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo) and "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" (a reference to the first real South Park cartoon, the five-minute "Spirit of Xmas").
If anything is likely to come as a surprise to the faithful, it's the degree to which Bigger, Longer & Uncut is a full-on musical. There are more than a dozen major musical numbers in a movie that, minus the closing credits, clocks in at about 75 minutes. As Parker has proved with his songs for both the TV show and Cannibal! The Musical, he actually has a great facility for coming up with Broadway-style melodies. Though most are parodies -- of Les Miz, Busby Berkeley shows and Oklahoma!, among others -- it's hard not to suspect that some part of Parker really does love show tunes and aspires to be Richard Rodgers. This time around, many of the numbers were co-written with composer Marc Shaiman, whose interstitial score is also frequently witty.
Except for some very nice special effects involving heaven, hell and war, the animation is true to the deliberately clunky "paper-cutout method" of the TV show (long since done with computers rather than with real paper cutouts). The characters' legs appear to be sewn tightly together when they walk, and there is no attempt at "visual beauty." In the style's defense, the animators manage to produce an extraordinary range of facial expression with minimal movement -- no small accomplishment in itself. And, most important, if the technical work were more sophisticated, the movie wouldn't be nearly as funny -- which is, after all, the whole point.
The one negative aspect of the film may have been a fluke of the press screening: The sound was grating and murky. The painful volume in the theater was no doubt part of the problem. But, even compensating for that, it sounded as though the sound mix was excessively shrill and muddy. In one number where bits of several songs are reprised all at once -- in the manner of the prerumble sequence in West Side Story -- the parts fused into an unintelligible whole, an ugly bouillabaisse of noise. I'm sure it would have been much funnier otherwise.
Still, for South Park fans and for those without priggish sensitivity to the way their children really talk behind their backs, Bigger, Longer & Uncut delivers: It's never less than funny, and at its best it's truly hysterical.
Opens June 30.

In a rare print interview, Triple H promoted his upcoming Thy Kingdom Come DVD. Now, if you're familiar with Thursday Headlines' thoughts on Triple H, you know he's quite the polarizing figure. Personally, I find him to be an opportunist who tends to overstate his place in professional wrestling history. While a DVD documentary and collection of his best matches should make for an entertaining viewing, it may be difficult to stomach the circle-jerk it's sure to be.
But hey, Triple H is in an important place of power, and when he speaks, he's worth listening to. And in his interview with New Hampshire Magazine, he compared WWE to both Disney and Marvel Comics when explaining that WWE is an entertainment company, not simply a professional wrestling company.
I have a few thoughts regarding those comparisons. I'm a big fan of both Disney and Marvel (Disney IS Marvel's parent company, but I'll spare you the nerdy details). I'm a Disneyland season pass holder, go way too many times each year, and act like a giddy school girl whenever a classic animated feature of their's gets released on Blu Ray. Seriously, The Little Mermaid is on it's way to me right now. And I've been a fan of Marvel Comics since I learned how to sound out words. I remain one of the few people on the planet who enjoyed the hell out of the Clone Saga, and find Ben Reilly's Spidey costume to be the best ever.
Come on Trips… WWE is no Disney or Marvel. I get what Triple H is attempting to convey here - that due to multiple alternative revenue streams (WWE Films, merchandise, Tout, etc…), WWE is more than just dudes in tights fake fighting. Unfortunately, WWE's outside projects lack the quality of, say, the Avengers films. And after each failed venture, investors and fans are left wondering "Why doesn't WWE stick to what they know?"
It feels like WWE is at times ashamed of what they are: a professional wrestling promotion. So they force themselves to be more, even when they clearly don't know what they're doing. It all just feels so unnecessary. Less time needs to be sent on figuring out how to make WWE Films profitable, and more time needs to be spent on booking wrestling correctly.
But with The King of Kings leading WWE into the future, who knows what we'll get. (PW Torch)
During an interview with Wrestling Inc., former TNA and WWE superstar Matt Morgan spoke about accepting a stuttering gimmick at the beginning of his wrestling career. While reflecting that it may not have been the world's greatest gimmick, Morgan acknowledged that he probably would have accepted anything Vince McMahon proposed to him. This of course excludes portraying a mentally handicapped performer. Wait, they actually did do that?! I always knew Bautista was desperate to break into the business, but jeez…
WWE reached a milestone on YouTube this week. Their channel reached two million subscribers, a huge number to be sure. But as impressive as two million subscribers is, Thursday Headlines' motto has always been "quality of quantity". And quite honestly, we'll take this Supercut of Goats Yelling Like Humans over WWE's hundreds of clips any day. (SEScoops)
If you're like me, then you must be a huge fan of Tammy Sytch's, or Sunny, Facebook page! Well, our favorite original Diva posted what she is looking for in a man on Wednesday. What are some of Sunny's deal breakers? Her man must have a job, his own place, average to good looks, good teeth and high self esteem. Asked for his response, Marty Jannetty stated "Well, at least I won't have to worry about that crazy bitch breaking into my parents basement." (SEScoops)

By Lindsay Toler
The outsiders -- people from St. Louis, St. Charles and Jefferson counties -- tell the cops they're lost.
Plausible and implausible explanations make it hard for the police to press charges that will stick.
That's why so many prostitutes end up before Sullivan for public drunkenness, street demonstration and not using the sidewalk.
The same kinds of flimsy charges Tammy got hit with.
Sullivan is familiar with the charges, the prostitutes and the police officers. In the past year, the judge began meeting on a monthly basis with Sergeant Terry Sloan. Sloan is a compact, muscular man with 30 years of police work behind him. For the past two years, he has headed up the vice squad.
"I wanted to open a line of communication with the police department," Sullivan says.
"It started out as a prostitute task force, but it has evolved over time into a health task force," Sullivan says, noting that representatives of the city's health department also attend the meetings between Sloan and the judge.
Sloan says police back Sullivan's effort: "I support it 100 percent, and I know all my detectives do," Sloan says.
Officers attend many of the same neighborhood meetings the judge visits, and the department is working on its own initiatives to get prostitutes off homeowners' lawns and johns off the streets and to stop sex acts from being performed in public alleys.
Major Roy Joachimstaler, head of the South Patrol, assembled one sergeant and six officers to form the Neighborhood Response Group, which helps combat so-called quality-of-life crimes. Part of the NRG's mission is to pair with Vice for undercover prostitution stings. Joachimstaler supplies the extra staff for the stings, and Sloan oversees the sweeps, which are made day and night, weekdays and weekends.
At 9:30 on a Thursday morning in August, Sloan drives around in his unmarked car, monitoring the radio transmissions of the detectives working a sting on the near South Side. A bleach-blond woman who appears to be in her midforties waves down an undercover officer driving a dark-red Taurus. She's wearing jean shorts and a lime-green shirt.
The detective stops, and the woman gets in.
Sloan describes what typically happens inside the car.
"They have to ask you what you want -- it's a name-playing game," Sloan says.
"You tell them, 'Yeah, I'm here to party."
"Then they say, 'Well, I'll suck your dick for twenty bucks."
It's critical that the undercover cop doesn't coach the prostitute, Sloan says: "They have to say what they'll give you and the price."
Usually money is what the women want. But they've also asked for food -- a sandwich from a nearby convenience store, even a bucket of chicken from KFC.
"They're gonna judge it by what their needs are," Sloan says. "Do they need a rock? Do they need something to eat?"
After the bargain is made, the detective pulls the car over to the side of the road. That's when another unmarked car, which has been following close behind, turns on its lights. In the car are two detectives, a man and a woman.
The female detective frisks the prostitute. The undercover detective continues playing the part of the john.
After about an hour and two arrests, Sloan calls for a reversal. This time, undercover female detectives, working in a pair, set up on a South St. Louis street.
The women are wired.
Sloan says of the real prostitutes: "Their physical appearance, their hygiene -- they aren't the cleanest people."
A female detective trying to look the part may put on the clothes she mowed the yard in. Sloan has watched as one officer prepared to go out on the street by picking up a handful of dirt and smearing it on her clothes and face before taking her post on a street corner.
The women are bait, and within about fifteen minutes, guys are circling them in vehicles. Some just get a thrill off being around "naughty" girls; others are trying to figure out whether the police are nearby.
Sloan says most of the guys they snare are in their thirties and forties. They even had a 70-year-old guy trying to pick up a hooker.
"It is a crossbreed of every profession, every status," he says. "You have a guy in a Cadillac pull up, a guy in a nice car who obviously has money, nice Rolex watch, nice jewelry, a pocketful of money. Why is he down here, picking up what he thinks is a $10 crack whore on the corner?"
Eventually a car moves in: two men in a white pickup truck, the name of a roofing company prominently displayed on the cab door. The women saunter up to the car door. They want to nab both guys.
The female detectives working this beat can't be prudes, nor can they act shocked. The women have to think fast and respond quickly when asked to perform out-of-the-ordinary sex acts, Sloan explains while simultaneously watching his two detectives banter with the guys in the roofing-company truck.
When one undercover officer was asked by a man and a woman to perform a bizarre sex act with the two of them, Sloan says, the detective didn't miss a beat.

Wind blamed for power outage
HUNTINGTON -- A strong gust of wind was blamed for a Wednesday afternoon power outage that affected 2,555 customers in Huntington.
Appalachian Power spokesperson Phil Moye said power was lost just after 3 p.m. to customers mainly in the downtown area. That included downtown businesses, the Cabell County Courthouse, Corps of Engineers and federal building. Several traffic lights were out, along with surrounding residential areas.
Moye said a gust of wind blew one wire into another, causing the protective devices to operate and knock the power out.
Crews were immediately dispatched to the Johnson Lane Substation in West Huntington to make repairs. Power was restored just before 5 p.m.
Fire damages Hawthorne Way home
HUNTINGTON -- A home caught fire early Wednesday in south Huntington.
Cabell County 911 received word of the fire at 7:25 a.m. Wednesday. It was located in the 600 block of Hawthorne Way.
A homeowner was there at the time and told dispatchers the electrical box was on fire. The caller escaped without injury.
The Huntington Fire Department arrived to find flames at the residence. The fire was quickly extinguished.
No injuries were reported.

Nanodiamond sensors allow for complete surveillance at the cell level November 29, 2013 at 9:00 am
Electrons that are trapped inside nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond show a remarkable coherence with spin states that can be precisely manipulated. If the electron coherence inside nanoscale diamond can be preserved for long enough, not only will we have the perfect qubit for a quantum computer, but the perfect device to reveal the secret lives of neurons.
The first self-assembled nanodiamond qubits are the vanguard of the quantum computing revolution September 12, 2013 at 2:18 pm
German researchers have devised a technique of creating self-assembled nanodiamond quantum bits (qubits) that could form the basis of quantum computers and storage devices that, unlike every other quantum tech that we've seen on ET, could operate at room temperature.
Nanodiamond transistors and house-sized computers are coming August 8, 2011 at 10:26 am
Transistors made out of diamonds are heat resistant, and both faster and more energy efficient than their silicon counterparts.

Today is a special anniversary for Frog Hair and I. Allow me to take you back to 1989. I was a freshman in college, and some friends and I had connected on one of the first weekends with a group of other students who were upper classmen that we hadn't already met at all of the freshman events. As is typical of teenage girls, at least that's what I tell myself, we all scoped out the guys to see who we might be interested in. One guy really stuck out to me, so I couldn't wait to tell my roommate about my discovery. When we got back to the room, she dramatically fell back onto her bed and proclaimed, "I think I'm in love!" In the interest of politeness, I let her go first, deciding to tell her about my interest after she told me about hers.
"His name is Walter Ballou!" What? Oh no! I guess I would have to just pick someone else, but it really didn't matter, because I did not plan to do any flirting or anything. I picked The Guy from the Cigarette Commercial. We had nicknames for everyone that only we knew about. We could discuss The Guy in the Pink Shirt, Q-Tip, and several others without anyone else knowing who we were talking about. As the days passed, I learned some things about my roomie. She could flirt like a professional! This stood out to me because I had mastered the art of being a wallflower. We found out where his classes were and "happened" to walk by the building at the end of class for each class that we could be available. Of course she couldn't walk by the same building every 3 minutes by herself, so I was with her almost every time she saw Walter. We checked our mail 7 times a day just in case he might be in the student center playing ping pong. We went to the cafeteria as soon as a meal started and stayed until the last person left hoping he would come in while we were there. I'm telling you! It was masterful! This shy girl learned so much, and I'm convinced that this story would end here if she hadn't pushed me to get to know him by being with her. She asked Walter to Sadie Hawkins that fall, and he told me years later that the guys in the dorm gave him a hard time about whether I would be going on their date with them since she and I were always together. That was as mortifying as it sounds! He called our room to talk to her one time, and I answered. He provided multiple suggestions of who I should ask to Sadie Hawkins. Gasp! Like I would EVER ask a boy out. Not happening! Now I realize he was probably just trying to make sure he didn't have to take both of us.
Things were on again off again in her interest in Walter, but I was so careful not to let anyone know that I liked him until I knew that she realized she didn't like him anymore. I decided it wasn't worth the tension in our friendship to complicate matters over a guy, even one that I was pretty sure I had been praying for since I was about 10 years old! I discovered a secret to help me stay sane. I had given some thoughts to the verse, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." I reasoned that if my desires matched God's will, I could avoid a lot of heartache in my life. I began praying that God would change the desires of my heart to match His will. I knew that if Walter Ballou wasn't part of His will for my life, He would be faithful to take away my desire for him. By that summer, I was able to tell a few friends of my extreme infatuation with Walter. One of my friends spent a lot of time in Harleton, where he was a youth minister, because her boyfriend coached basketball in the same town. She spied on him and let me know who seemed to be coming to his softball games and who showed up at church. I may have written him one letter that summer because we had become friends over my first year of college. I couldn't be too forward, but I prayed like the persistent widow for God to show him I was the woman of his dreams. Evidently other girls had an interest in him, and some of them could probably do a better job of getting his attention.
When school started up again in the fall, we found ourselves spending more and more time together, taking walks around campus, sitting at the student center and talking, and eating meals together in the cafeteria. I rushed to finish my assignments for my classes just in case he called and wanted to meet somewhere and hang out. When he called and asked, "What are you doing?" I couldn't say, "Waiting anxiously by the phone." So I told him I was cutting out light bulbs, which is what I actually was doing the first time he called. I didn't realize that he thought of that as a brush off, similar to "I need to wash my hair" or something. That became a joke every time we got together about me needing to cut out light bulbs when I really just wanted him to leave me alone. As if I ever did. By the way, the light bulbs were for my first mini lesson about inventions. Our friendship grew and grew, but part of me still wondered if he would ever want to be more than friends. On a small campus where the motto is "ring by spring or your money back," people noticed the time we spent together. I loved that other people thought we would be perfect together, but I still thought Walter was going to have to realize that before I could start planning how many children we would have. Then in early October, he asked me to go with him to visit his former pastor who had moved to a town about an hour away. I thought this could be a monumental visit because he had so much respect for this pastor and his wife and would probably be looking for some wisdom from them.
Because I battled nerves the whole night, I don't remember a whole lot about dinner. However, I can't forget an embarrassing moment driving to their house. We saw a sign not far from campus that said "Rabbit Ears for sale." I immediately went into a tirade about the crazy things some people ate. I had recently learned about sow ears and chicken feet and chitlins and fatback. What in the world could be tasty about rabbit ears? To his credit, he didn't pull over to laugh at me. He just kindly pointed out that the sign was written on a television then patiently waited for me to realize the sign referred to antennas for televisions. I know I would have gotten that immediately if I hadn't been so nervous! There is a lot to be said for thinking before speaking. I'm hoping to learn that lesson eventually.
Evidently he got a thumbs up from the pastor, because when we got back to campus we had "the talk" about wanting to be more than friends. He explained that since he was working several jobs and paying for his own college, we couldn't really do much "dating." I am convinced that if he had finished that statement with saying, "so I think we should just go ahead and get married," I would have agreed and started planning it for the next available weekend. As it was I floated back to the dorm and went straight to my former roommate's room and woke her up and told her that Walter and I were finally dating! She celebrated with me, and I truly don't think I stopped smiling for a week. Even now, every year on October 12, my heart goes a little mushy when I think about that happy day!

THE MATCHUP | The Wildcats and Retrievers meet for the 21st time in their short conference rivalry, with UNH leading the all-time series, 11-9. The 'Cats have won five of the last eight meetings at Lundholm Gymnasium. After UNH began the series with three straight wins at RAC Arena, the Retrievers came back with a three-game streak of their own in the building. UNH responded with three straight victories before UMBC won earlier this season at RAC Arena. The two teams split the season series last year as each team won on the road. In the most recent meeting this season on Jan. 9, 2013, junior Patrick Konan scored a team-high 19 points, but the Wildcats fell to the Retrievers, 68-57, in Baltimore. Konan, who was named the America East Player of the Game for UNH, scored 14 of his 19 points in the opening half and finished with three 3-pointers, seven rebounds and two steals. Ferg Myrick added 12 points and four assists, while Chris Pelcher chipped in with seven points and a game-high nine rebounds. Ryan Cook led all players with a game-high 21 points for UMBC, while Brett Roseboro (13), Chase Plummer (11) and Adrian Satchell (11) also reach double figures.

Sophomore reserve guard Joey Getz and senior wing Brian Neller led UMBC with 12 points each. Senior guard Ryan Cook scored all ten of his points in the second half. UMBC misfired on 10 of its first 12 shots and fell behind, 13-4, nine minutes into the game. Getz hit 4-of-6 shots from the floor, and 2-of-3 from the line and behind the arc. He added six rebounds and three assists. Cook ranks fifth in the conference in scoring with 14.7 points per game, while Chase Plummer is also averaging double figures with 12.1 points per contest.

TREYMENDOUS SHOOTER | Scott Morris scored 11 points at Vermont, shooting 3-of-5 from 3-point range. Morris leads the team in 3-point shooting (38.6, 22-57) and has shot 63.6 percent from long range over the last four games.
BACK TO FORM | After averaging just 6.3 points per game over the last four contests, Patrick Konan scored a team-high 15 points against Vermont. He shot 6-of-10 from the floor to go along with five rebounds and two assists. Wayne Morrison (72-76) owns the record with 505 career helpers.

Myrick recorded 16 points and 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the season, while Matagrano had 12 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double. It was the first time two Wildcats notched double-doubles in the same game since Nov. 13 at Dartmouth when Myrick (19 pts, 11 rbs) and Patrick Konan (14 pts, 11 rbs) accomplished the feat in the second game of the season.
IRON MAN | Chandler Rhoads has been the backbone of the Wildcats this season as he leads the America East in minutes played (36.1, 794). Rhoads has logged at least 35 minutes in 18 of 22 games this season.
CLEANING THE GLASS | New Hampshire leads the league in offensive rebounds since the start of conference play, averaging 11.5 offensive boards per contest over the 10-game span. The Wildcats snagged a season-high 18 offensive rebounds at UMBC and have reached double figure offensive boards in seven of the 10 contests.
DOUBLE-DOUBLE TROUBLE | Patrick Konan posted 11 points and a career-high 13 rebounds against BU to earn his second double-double of the season. He shot 4-of-11 from the field and corralled five offensive rebounds to go along with one assist. Konan, who was named the America East Player of the Game, previously recorded 14 points and 11 rebounds against Dartmouth in the second game of the season.
LEND A HELPING HAND | Chandler Rhoads dished out a career-high nine assists in the loss at Colgate, marking his second 7-plus assist game of the season (CCSU, Dec. 5). Rhoads ranks eighth in the conference with 3.4 assists per game.
BIG ADDITION | Chris Pelcher has been a force down low for the Wildcats this season as he ranks third in the conference in field goal percentage (52.4, 76-145) and fourth in blocks (1.3). He also ranks seventh in rebounding (6.7). The junior transfer recorded 16 points and a game-high 12 rebounds against UConn (11/29) for his second double-double of the season.
KONAN THE BARBARIAN | Patrick Konan scored a season-high 19 points in the team's loss at UMBC. Konan went 6-of-14 from the floor, including a trio of 3-pointers, and 4-of-5 at the free throw line. Konan has reached double digits 13 times this season.
ON THE OFFENSIVE | New Hampshire scored 84 points in the loss against CCSU, marking the team's highest scoring output since the season-opening win over Suffolk (91-51). The Wildcats set season-highs in field goal percentage (57.1, 28-49), 3-point field goal percentage (48.0, 12-25), 3-pointers made (12) and assists (19). All 10 starters reached double-figures, while the Wildcats had five players hit double-digits for the first time since the season-opener.
ALL-AROUND GAME | Chandler Rhoads posted a strong overall performance against CCSU, leading the team in scoring with 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the floor. He also added a career-high seven assists to pair with three steals.
LEGEND KILLER | Ferg Myrick came up big against mighty UConn, registering a game- and season-high 20 points to pair with seven boards. Myrick is averaging 19.5 points per game against the Huskies after a 19-point performance as a sophomore during the 2010-11 season.
RHOADS SCHOLAR || Chandler Rhoads poured in a career-best 21 points in the team's loss at NJIT. Rhoads, who was 8-of-15 from the floor in 39 minutes of action, scored 14 points in the second half including a string of seven-straight for the Wildcats.
PELCHER'S CAREER DAY || Chris Pelcher put up some impressive numbers against NJIT as he posted career-highs of 17 points and 11 rebounds for his first career double-double. He shot 7-of-14 from the floor and was perfect at the charity stripe (3-3). He also registered a career-high four blocks.
TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL || UNH downed its intrastate rival Dartmouth, 72-58, to mark the team's fifth-straight win over the Big Green. Dartmouth still leads the all-time series, 31-30, but the Wildcats have won seven of the last eight meetings and 11 of the last 14.
FIVE GUYS || New Hampshire had five players reach double-figures in the season-opening win over Suffolk. Patrick Konan led the way with a game-high 16 points, followed by Chris Pelcher (14), Ferg Myrick (14), Scott Morris (13) and Chris Matagrano (10). The trio of Myrick, Morris and Matagrano came off the bench to reach the double-figure mark. It was the first time UNH had five players score double-digits in the same contest since Jan. 1, 2012, when the Wildcats fell to UMBC at home in the conference opener.
IMPRESSIVE DEBUT || Chris Pelcher netted then-career highs of 14 points and nine rebounds against Suffolk in his UNH debut. Most impressively, he was highly efficient in the process as he went 7-of-8 from the field (.875) and added three assists. Pelcher played his first two seasons at Iona and sat out the entire 2011-12 season due to NCAA transfer regulations.
CRASHING THE BOARDS || New Hampshire pulled down 51 rebounds against Suffolk, marking the most in a single game since Jan. 15, 2011 when the Wildcats grabbed 54 rebounds in a double-overtime loss at Stony Brook. Chris Pelcher and Ferg Myrick led the way this time around with nine boards apiece, while 11 of 13 Wildcats snagged multiple rebounds.
DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE || The Wildcats ranked in the 80th percentile nationally in scoring defense last season, holding opponents to just 62.8 points per game, which ranked third in America East. Additionally, UNH was the best on the conference defending the 3-pointer last season as it held foes to 29.7 percent from beyond the arc, which ranked 13th nationally. Lastly, senior Chandler Rhoads earned America East Al-Defensive honors for the second straight year.
SIGNING DAY || UNH recently announced that two student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to attend UNH and play for the Wildcat basketball program next fall.
John Edwards, a 6-foot-6-inch forward from Charlotte, N.C., joins the Wildcats after playing at Brewster Academy, one of the top prep schools in the country. He averaged 5.0 points per game on a squad that went 33-1 overall en route to the National Prep Championship.
Daniel Jackson, a 6-foot, 170-pound point guard from Cedar Park, Texas, comes to UNH after playing the last three years at Vista Ridge High School. Jackson led the squad with 15.0 points per game and topped the district with 7.0 assists per contest as a junior last season. He was named first-team all-district for his efforts and also earned all-district academic honors.
OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN || Seniors Chandler Rhoads (Berryville, Va.), Ferg Myrick (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Chris Matagrano (Sayreville, N.J.) have been named captains for the upcoming 2012-13 season.
Rhoads, who also served as a captain last season, returns as one of the premier defenders in the conference after he was named to the America East All-Defensive Team for the second time in as many seasons. Rhoads also proved to be a key component on the offensive end, logging 11.2 points per game and 2.7 assists per games as a junior. Rhoads started every game for the Wildcats last season and ranked first in the league in minutes played (36.6).
Myrick enjoyed a productive junior campaign after he missed most of his sophomore season due to injury. The forward averaged 8.5 points per game and ranked second on the team with 15 blocks during the 2011-12 season. A consistent offensive player, Myrick scored double-digit points 12 times on the season, highlighted by a 19-point outburst in a victory against Towson. Myrick was named to the America East All-Rookie team as a freshman in 2009-10 after averaging 7.6 points per game.
Matagrano appeared in 26 games off the bench for the 'Cats in 2011-12, averaging 11.7 minutes per contest and 2.2 rebounds per game. Matagrano, who ranked third on the team with a .469 shooting percentage, had his best game against Holy Cross (Dec. 3) when he notched career highs in points (11) and rebounds (7).
PRESEASON COACHES' POLL || New Hampshire (34 points) was picked to finish sixth in the America East Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Wildcats were tabbed to finish behind the University of Vermont (60), Stony Brook University (58), Boston University (49), Albany (38), and the University of Maine (35). The Catamounts were predicted to win the league and received five out of eight first-place votes. Stony Brook, last year's runner-up and regular-season champion, collected the remaining four first-place votes. The University of Hartford (26) was selected seventh, followed by UMBC (15) and Binghamton (9) to round out the field.
TRAINING DAY || The Wildcats welcome three freshmen to the roster this season. Frank Okeke (DeSoto, Texas) joins the Wildcats after leading his team to a 5A Regional II District Championship. Okeke played for the Deron Williams Elite AAU program and was named to the First-Team All-District and First-Team All-Academic as a senior.
Chris Orozco (Tenafly, N.J.) was named First-Team All-League in three straight seasons prior to coming to UNH. He was also named to the First-Team All-County squad for his last two seasons at Tenafly High School.
Logan Mortenson (South Jordon, Utah) averaged 15.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game over his four year career Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper, Utah. He averaged 14.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game as a senior and was named a McDonald's All-American Nominee and an All-State Second-Team selection. Most recently, he posted 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game last year at St. John's Northwestern Military Academy.

EDUCATION: No announcement made on fate of So. Lee coach
After about a dozen former players and other community members gathered Tuesday night to publicly support Tom Paris, head football coach at Southern Lee High School for the past three seasons whose job is currently listed as vacant, it's unclear what actually happened.
Paris' supporters were at the December meeting of the Lee County Board of Education, where School Board Chairman Lynn Smith had previously said a closed session meeting would determine Paris' fate. Paris told The Herald earlier this week that he was caught off guard when Principal Bonnie Almond told him she wanted to go in another direction.
Several people spoke in his favor, saying a losing record shouldn't overshadow the stability and leadership he brought to both the program and the individual players' lives. One speaker, Terry Tipton, noted that the school board had set the precedent in the past of overturning a principal's coaching decision, telling the board: "Although it seems a foregone conclusion because the job's already been posted, I implore you to look into your hearts and do what's best for the students of Southern Lee and reinstate the coach."
Former player Billy Tienken, 2011 graduate whose senior year was Paris' first at the school, told the board: "We demonstrated better teamwork, leadership, everything — both on and off the field. ... We didn't have a successful season. But I took more from that season than I did as a freshman playing for a playoff squad."
However, despite the attention paid to the issue, both Smith and Superintendent Jeff Moss refused to comment on whether Paris was still the head coach after the board got out of closed session, with Moss saying that Paris wasn't brought up at all.
After that, the board went back into closed session to give Moss his annual, formal performance review, the results of which will be kept from the public eye due to state personnel laws.
The board's open session kicked off with three songs from the J. Glenn Edwards Elementary School Chorus and a presentation from Transportation Director Reid Cagle, who reported that the district's bus system is considered in good standing, meaning the district will get all the money for transportation the state allocated during the last budget process — news Moss praised because of rising gas prices. He also commended Cagle for having the lowest number of safety hazard notifications of all districts in the area.
The board also approved its consent agenda, including its Capital Improvements Plan, requested annually by the Lee County Board of Commissioners, outlining all major construction and repair projects planned in the next five years. There was no discussion about the plan, which Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlie Parks was in the audience to see passed, but in reports posted online, the district listed six projects in order of priority, with the first four concerning heating and air and other rennovations at East Lee and West Lee middle schools.
According to the report, the renovations would improve efficiency so much they would pay for themselves in three or four years simply due to lowered operating costs. The fifth priority project, to build a new elementary school, has been on the district's radar for some years.
According to the plan, the schools don't want to start anything next year, but do plan to begin construction sometime after the start of the 2014-15 fiscal year — if the county funds the project, which it estimates would cost about $15.8 million.
In that first year, the schools want $10 million for the new school from the county to hire various engineering and planning firms, as well as to begin construction. In 2015-16, the district is requesting $5.75 for furniture, equipment, machinery and other expenses.
Last on the list is a $1 million request for heating and air rennovations at the Lee County High School auditorium that didn't get tackled in a two-year, $21 million project that concluded in September. In total, the six requests total nearly $25 million over several years.
Parks said before the meeting he hadn't seen the details of the funding requests, but that the schools would have to prove they needed the funding before his board would give the money.

New iPhone 3GS syncing with MBP after PC
Hi guys,
I just got myself a 3GS iPhone and so far, so good!
The first thing I did was sync the phone with my PC to get all my contacts, calendar info and notes off Outlook and onto my new phone. I did not copy any music from the PC's iTunes onto the phone at that time.
Next I connected my iPhone to my Macbook Pro to get music off my MBP's iTunes. I managed to sync all the music as well, but I first unchecked the Contacts, Calendar and Notes tabs from syncing, because I was afraid that if those were checked I would end-up losing all of the above from the phone.
My question is: I want to now use my MBP exclusively with this iPhone. How do I sync my iTunes with the phone so that all my contact info, calendar info and notes are on both the phone and the MBP? In other words I want to back-up from the phone to iTunes this one time and then keep both devices synced thereafter.
Thanks for reading this long post!
P.S. I just checked in iTunes on the MBP, under Preferences > Devices > Device Backups > it shows that my iPhone has been backed-up. Does that mean that all my contacts, appointments and notes are now on the MBP, so that I can enable the syncing of all these items without worrying about deleting the phone by mistake? Thanks!
You can't. When you check the contacts/calendar option in iTunes it will erase all the data on the phone and replace it with that from the MBP. You need to find a way to get your contacts/calender info onto the MBP first, without the phone.
Really? So if you upgrade your PC/Mac and you've got an iPhone that's been syncing with your old computer you're basically screwed? That's crazy!
Not really. You just need to move the appropriate info to the Mac from the PC.
The easy way around this is to use Apples MobileMe service, sync the PC, Mac and the iPhone via Mobile me, then just ditch the PC from the equation. That way everything already matches and all your syncing is done over the air for contacts and calenders so you're not tied to the computer the phone is tied to. I do this with my iPhone, my G5 at home and iBook for use on the road. My info always matches on all 3 but the phone is tied to the G5 only. My calenders and contacts can b updated anywhere but reflected everywhere and are available on-line on the MM web-site for me to view from any internet connected computer..
Right. So how exactly would one get the info onto MobileMe from Outlook? Does it automatically import the info from Outlook to MM?
What if I didn't want to use MobileMe? What would be the most painless way to transfer a few hundred contacts, maybe 400 notes and several dozen appointments from Outlook on the PC?
There is a MM client for the PC that you can download from Apple, it will allow you to sync your contacts from Outlook to the MM system and to your Mac (and your iPhone).
Other than that, I have no idea. Never done what you are doing.
go to your pc, save your contacts as a vcard file or a excel file, then take that file and put it in your mbp, open entourage or whatever you are using to manage your contacts, transfer your contacts from that excel or vcard file.
how can i transfer all my albums (audios) in my macbook to my iphone 3GS?
I have the latest version of itunes and when I sync it it just stop and then nothing happens...the reasons why i bought an iphone 32GB so i can transfel all my albums from my macbook onto my iphone...
can someone help? i followed that how to in ipod from iphone sites

text: Google and Samsung partner on the Nexus S Technology 06 December 10 by Duncan Geere We already know most of what there is to know about Google and Samsung's Nexus S, thanks to a series of leaks over the last few months, but we've finally had official confirmation of the device's capabilities.As expected, the handset looks a lot like the Galaxy S, rounded and pretty unimaginative. On the front, there's the same great big 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. Inside, there's the same 1GHz processor. On the back, there's a 5-megapixel camera and a VGA front-facing camera.It also has a gyroscope sensor inside, for better sensing of your movement than an accelerometer could provide. In terms of connectivity, there's HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.1, near-field communications support, A-GPS and b/g/n Wi-Fi.But what's really exciting about the handset isn't its hardware, it's Android 2.3 contained within. The latest version of Android, codenamed Gingerbread, includes a massive revamp of the user interface, improvements in text input, better power management, more control over applications, SIP support, near-field communications support, and a series of gaming tweaks.The Nexus S will be available from 20 December in the UK. Until then, learn more about the new Android operating system the phone uses. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments Where do Carphone Warehouse get off charging £549 for the Nexus S ? In the USA its $529 (approx £330)! Even if you include VAT you still don't get anywhere close the the Carphone Warehouse price. The usual attitude of ripping of the British still ongoing then ? Marek Paul Dec 7th 2010 Potentially of interest on the hardware side is the NFC kit. At the moment not very many applications, and we've been hearing about NFC as the future of phones since at least 2007 or so, but Google may be able to do what Nokia struggled with and push an infrastructure around it.

Wingate junior Keeley Wood (SLHS) continues to add accolades to her already impressive college resume. Recently, Wood was named to the Capital One Academic All-District III women's track & field/cross country team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Student-athletes selected for Academic All-District honors must be a starter or important reserve and must possess a minimum of a 3.30 cumulative grade point average. Wood is currently carrying a 3.86 GPA in her Communication Studies major. This was the second year in a row that she has received this honor.
Wood will now advance to the national ballot for the opportunity to make one of the three Capital One Academic All-America teams. The NCAA Division II District III includes schools affiliated with the South Atlantic Conference, the Conference Carolinas and the Peach Belt Conference.
Wood's cross country and track accomplishments this year include winning the 2012 Food Lion SAC cross country championship with a 5K time of 19:27. Finishing second in the 2012 NCAA Division II Southeast Region race with a 6K time of 22:54 and coming in as the top Southeast Region finisher at the NCAA Division II national cross country meet in Joplin, Mo., with a personal best 6K time of 22:21.8. In track this past spring, Wood set a new 5000-meter school record turning in an 18:22.31 in the first meet of the season and won the 5000 meters at the 2013 Lenoir-Rhyne Southeast Region championships for the second year in a row with a time of 18:40.29.
Wingate head cross country and track and field coach Joe Soehnlen commented, "This award is a true testament to Keeley's dedication and her desire to be successful in everything she sets out to do. She is very involved on campus and she truly deserves every honor she receives. She is a prime example of what we want one of our student-athletes to be — involved and well-rounded."
Wood is a three-time All-SAC performer and a two-time All-Region pick on the cross country course. She is also a three-year Wingate cross country team MVP. On campus, Wood was The Weekly Triangle editor for the 2012-13 school year. As a sophomore, she helped lead the local Girls on the Run program at Wingate Elementary School and is a member of the Phi Eta Sigma national honor society.
Dillon Frye (LCHS) and N.C. State (50-14, 19-10) manhandled Carolina, knocking off the Heels 8-1 in the opening game of the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., on Sunday. The victory gives the Wolfpack their first ever 50-win season in school history. This is only State's second trip to the College World Series with the previous coming in 1968. N.C. State will play its second-round game today at 8 p.m. against UCLA with the game to be broadcast on ESPN2.
Stanton McDuffie (LCHS) and his fishing partner Bryce Owen represented the N.C. State Bass Pack this past week at the 2013 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Wild Card Tournament at Pickwick Lake in Florence, Ala., finishing 33rd in the 73-team field. McDuffie and Owen would land seven fish weighing in at 22 pounds, 12 ounces. Jacob Hardy and Jake Lawrence, representing Bethel University, would go on to win the tournament by catching their limit of 10 fish weighing in at 40 pounds, 14 ounces.
Dennis Godfrey (LCHS) and the San Jose SaberCats (8-4) saw their late comeback fall just short as they lost a heartbreaker to the Iowa Barnstormers, 73-68, Saturday night in Des Moines, Iowa. The SaberCats will be at home this week, hosting their divisional rivals Arizona Rattlers (12-1) in the Net 10 Wireless Arena Football Game of the Week on the CBS Sports Network.
Aaron Mellette (SLHS) completed the mandatory Baltimore Ravens three-day mini-camp last Friday for all rookies and veterans in Owings Mills, Md. Poor weather forced the team to use its indoor facility for the final day of the mini-camp. Mellette and the rest of the rookies will report back next week to continue learning the playbook while the veterans will have some time off before training camp begins in late July.

I've completed another day.
What's the rush in throwing yourself
at another –
When the rooms are cold,
and the lovers are gone
Smiling is hardly representing sanity.
Your picture hanging is messed – see there –
My smiling represents thought
If this goes anywhere – we'll be trapped
You make me comfortable in small ways –
getting me in
Fill me with your own words – I am made,
Born –
Recreated for a person, to be had in all ways.
What's the rush at throwing yourself
at another –
They'll leave anyway because they
recreated themselves –
Why leave someone so perfect? – You ask?!
Hated by their souls, they look into the mirror.
Create yourself – Don't be created
I've completed another day.

Cellular Phone Acquisition, Use and Reimbursement Policy
Purpose: As required by the University of Maine System Administrative Practice Letter (APL), this policy establishes procedures for the procurement, use, and reimbursement for occasional, incidental or emergency personal use of University cell phones as well as reimbursement for use of personal cell phones. Because this policy is also governed by the University of Southern Maine Cell Phone Acquisition, Use and Reimbursement Policy, cellular phone users should also become familiar with the following:
User Qualifications:
- Employees qualify for cellular service as determined by their supervisor and when at least one of the following criteria is met:
- Timely, critical two-way communication is required by the employee.
- The employee is very mobile and may have limited access to land based telephone services.
- Employee requires immediate communication in case of emergency.
- Only one cell phone will be approved for each qualified employee.
- A cellular phone may not be substituted for a campus phone.
- There must be available department funds to cover the added costs of the equipment and services.
- The Telecommunications Office is the only authorized office for procurement of cellular service for the University of Southern Maine.
- Requests for cellular service must be on file. New requests must be submitted in writing to the Telecommunications Office on a Cellular Phone Request Form below.
- Only completed Cellular Phone Request Forms with the appropriate authorizing signature (deans or directors) will be considered.
- Employees will use the University of Maine System negotiated contract. Any exceptions must have prior approval. Due to the increased cost involved in any transaction that falls outside the existing contract, a Cellular Phone Exception Form will be provided. The completed form with the appropriate authorizing signature (deans or directors) must be submitted to the IT End Users Services Department.
- Departments will coordinate repair, purchase of accessories/new equipment and plan changes with the IT End Users Services Department.
- University cell phones are provided for necessary, official university business purposes only.
- Employees will be responsible for the safekeeping, care and custody of the cell phone assigned to them.
- Cell phones and Cell phone numbers are University property and are to be returned to IT End User Services when employee separates from the University of Southern Maine or no longer requires use of the cell phone. University cell phones or University cell phone numbers cannot be transferred to private ownership.
- Departments are responsible for reviewing employee call detail reports and for collecting reimbursement for occasional incidental or emergency use of the University cell phones. To assist departments, a Sample Form is available.
Reimbursement for Personal Use of University Cell Phones:
- Employee reimbursement is to occur within 30 calendar days of the statement date.
- The employee will reimburse for costs related to each personal call either by paying actual charge, as it appears on the vendor invoice or by applying a "per minute cost", if the call is within plan minutes. "Per minute cost" is calculated by dividing the monthly calling plan charge by the minutes allowed. Multiply the cost-per-minute times the business minutes used on the personal cell phone to determine the total owed the University.
Reimbursement for Business Use of Personal Cell Phones:
- When an employee makes necessary university business calls from a personal cell phone, reimursement may be requested (see calculation formula below), excluding calling plan charges, equipment charges, taxes, surcharges and regulatory fees, using an Internal Deposit Slip.
- As in the University of Maine System Administrative Practice Letter (APL):"Employees must identify the business expenses on the detailed cell phone bill and submit the original bill with the request for reimbursemet. Where an employee also needs the original receipt for tax or other purposes, the supervisor may accept a copy."
- Calculating the Dollar Amount of Reimbursement: The employee will be reimbursed for costs related to each business call either by applying a "per minute cost", if the call is within plan minutes or by actual charges if the call occurs in excess of the plan minutes. "Per minute cost" is calculated by dividing the monthly calling plan charge by the minutes allowed. Multiply the cost-per-minute times the business minutes used on the personal cell phone to determine the total owed to the employee.
