The Saddlers are now closer to the play-offs than the League One relegation zone after their victory on Friday night.
First half goals from Febian Brandy and Will Grigg gave Walsall their fourth win in five games since going 16 without a win.
Smith said: "I'm proud of the players.
"We never reached the heights of the last few weeks but on the balance of play I thought we were the better team.
"We looked tired towards the end but we have played five games in 13 days and won four of them, which is a magnificent achievement. We have taken 12 points out of a possible 15 which is not bad at all.
"We were not as fluent as we have been and there were some misplaced passes which gave them hope in the game, but when we got the first goal I think their heads dropped a bit.
"We have been pretty consistent and it was just a case of getting wins, but since getting 'over the line' against Colchester we have done very well."

Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has paid a glowing tribute to Jamie Carragher by insisting the centre-back would have fitted into any team in the Reds' history.
Carragher today announced he will retire at the end of the season and bring to a close a glittering 16-year Anfield career.
Thompson was quick to highlight the selfless nature with which Carragher has dedicated himself to the Liverpool cause since making his debut in January 1997.
"He's pushed his body to the limits over the years, all for the great honour of playing for Liverpool," Thompson told Sky Sports.
"We have to give him credit for what he has achieved for the football club.
"Everything that Jamie has done throughout his career has been for Liverpool.
"People questioned his intentions when he retired from international football but Jamie thought it was right, not only for himself, but for his football club. Because his club is all-important to him.
"He has done football, in general, a massive credit in this country.
"The biggest compliment that I can pay to Carra is that, the way he plays the game, he could have fitted into any generation of Liverpool team."

At the start of this year I wrote an article about the end of the Federal Government's Digital Education Revolution and potential replacements, notably schools considering a policy of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Since then the idea has gained steam, particularly in NSW where a large number of both private and public schools have drawn up BYOD implementation programs.
Unfortunately, the switch to student-owned tech is not going to be a simple one. Leaving aside the equity issues that underlie a BYOD model (which the NSW Teachers Federation recently cited as a key reason for their opposition to a public school roll-out), the options are so varied that some schools are now creating documents that give minimum device specifications.

Last week we posted a warning about a fake release of the popular Cydia tweak "SBSettings" that had found its way into iTunes–despite the misleading description ripped from Cydia, the paid app was an alarm clock. While that knockoff app was eventually pulled, a whole crop of fake apps are still online.
"IntelliScreenX – Notification Center the way it should be!" is another paid alarm clock, this time masquerading as the IntelliScreenX Cydia tweak. The tweak claims that it allows you to "View Calendar, Email, Text Messages, News, Facebook, Twitter, Weather, and more from your iPhone "Slide To Unlock" screen", which is impossible to sell through iTunes under Apple's current regulations. Despite this, at least three customers were duped into paying for the false tweak.
In addition, the same developer has released an app that claims to provide NFC functionality to the iPhone 5. While the app has 24 improbably positive reviews, the iPhone 5 does not, in fact, contain a NFC radio. As was reported shortly after the iPhone 5 first leaked, NFC's induction transmitters need to be fairly large to function, would be disrupted by the metal panel at the back of the iPhone 5, and the missing transmitter certainly isn't going to be installed by buying an app.
Though Apple prevents purchased apps from altering system files or the way the User Interface works, apparently to avoid confusing users, it seems that customers still get confused and duped in Apple's closed ecosystem.
Remember that IntelliScreenX and SBSettings is in Cydia because apps that alter the iOS user experience are not allowed in the App Store, and NEVER download an app that claims to enable hardware that your phone outright doesn't have.
Given Apple's feared approval process, you have to wonder how these apps got into iTunes in the first place. Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Fort Kent is a town in Aroostook County, Maine, United States. The population was 4,097 in the 2010 census. Fort Kent is home to an Olympic biathlete training center, an annual CAN-AM dogsled race,[4] and the Fort Kent Blockhouse, built in reaction to the Aroostook War and in modern times designated a national historic site. Principal industries include agriculture (particularly potatoes and forestry) and textiles. Fort Kent is the northern terminus of U.S. 1 and the ending point of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Fort Kent signed a lease agreement with the Fish River Flying Club on 8 July 2011 to repair, maintain, and operate the local municipal airport, which had been closed since the 1980s.[5]
Fort Kent was erected in the summer of 1839 as an American border outpost during the undeclared Aroostook War. The blockhouse, the first structure built in what is present-day city of Fort Kent, was named after then-governor of Maine Edward Kent.[6][7][8] The Saint John River was a log driving route from upstream forests to downstream sawmills and paper mills until the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad and trucks began transporting pulpwood.[9]
2008 flooding[edit]
After receiving nearly 200 inches (510 cm) of snow during the 2007–2008 winter season, the Saint John River began to flood on April 29. Nearly two days of nonstop rain also contributed to the flooding. As the river rose, it poured into the downtown area. More than 600 of Fort Kent's 4,233 residents were evacuated. The river's water level rose to nearly 31 feet (9.4 m), which was 6 feet (1.8 m) above flood stage.[10]
Governor John Baldacci declared a state of emergency for the region, flying from Augusta to see the damage first-hand. The Fish River did most of the damage, flooding St. Louis Catholic church and an apartment building.
Relationship with French Canada[edit]
The town is economically and culturally linked to the Canadian towns of Clair and Saint-François-de-Madawaska, both in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, directly across the Saint John River. Most children on the Canadian side attend French-speaking school while their American counterparts are taught mainly in English.
Sixty-two percent of the residents [11] of Fort Kent are habitual speakers of French. The variety of French spoken in Fort Kent and most of the Saint John River Valley closely resembles the French spoken in Quebec and New Brunswick. It is referred to as "Valley French" or "Brayon". Many residents also have American-Canadian dual citizenship.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 55.15 square miles (142.84 km2), of which 54.17 square miles (140.30 km2) is land and 0.98 square miles (2.54 km2) is water.[1]

2:46pm – All kinds of rumors that trades for Arnott and Liles are imminent.
2:45pm – Keep in mind that even though the deadline is 3pm, trades often trickle in up until about 4:30pm.

12:30pm – Here's an LOL for Habs fans; there are rumblings that Max Lapierre could be dealt out of Anaheim, especially if they trade for Konopka.
12:19pm – Brad Richards said he has yet to be presented with any proposals, nor has he given them a list of teams he would accept a trade to.
12:11pm – I don't fully understand the Dennis Wideman acquisition by Washington. They now have 9 defensemen including Tom Poti on IR. Don't be shocked to see the Caps flip one of their D in a trade for a center.
12:05pm – More waiver news – Ty Conklin NOT claimed; Curtis McElhinney claimed by Ottawa
12:02pm – Calgary Flames have claimed Brett Carson off of waivers from Carolina. Atlanta Thrashers have claimed Rob Schremp off of waivers from NY Islanders (SOURCE: ESPN)
12:00pm – 3 hours to the deadline. This is when the action really starts. Buckle up!
11:56am – Keep in mind that in about 10 minutes, there could be some activity on the waiver wire. I have a feeling Ty Conklin will be claimed by someone.
11:50am – Jimmy Howard has signed a 2 year contract extension with the Detroit Red Wings. He will earn $2.25 million per season (SOURCE: Sportsnet)
11:45am – Trade #2 – Washington Capitals have acquired Dennis Wideman from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a 3rd round pick and prospect Jake Hauswirth (SOURCE: Mike Vogel)
11:43am – TSN reporting that the Detroit Red Wings are close to coming to terms on a contract extension with Jimmy Howard.
11:36am – Further to Spezza; there is a very big difference between "taking calls" and "shopping". Bryan Murray is NOT shopping Spezza, but he is listening to what his market value is.
11:25am – Back up and running. Just got off the phone with top source. 2 things I can confirm; Konopka to Ducks is VERY close. The Sens are taking calls on Spezza. He probably won't be dealt today given his salary, but given what transpired last summer, he would absolutely waive his no trade to go elsewhere.
10:52am – No chance Panthers are done! Weiss, Booth, Allen, Wideman, Vokoun, Reasoner and Higgins are all available. Olesz and Bernier too, but it's unlikely teams will be interested in those 2.
10:45am – Some rumors: Ducks like Konopka (Eric Stephens – OC Register), Habs like Oduya (Tony Marinaro – TEAM 990), Bruins won't be making any moves today (Renaud Lavoie – RDS)
10:41am – Winner of that one is Florida. Bergfors will be a nice addition.
10:37am – First trade! Florida Panthers trade Radek Dvorak and a 5th round pick to Atlanta for Niclas Bergfors and Patrick Rismiller (TSN)
10:35am – For what it's worth; this is right about the time when the first trade went down last year.
10:32am – Mark Stuart has signed a 3 year extension with Atlanta worth $1.7 million per year (Sportsnet)
10:30am – TSN suggesting that Nashville will be active today. Have talked to Edmonton about both Ales Hemsky and Ladislav Smid.
10:18am – With the Chris Phillips signing, Ottawa is trying to move Filip Kuba and Chris Campoli to open up some spots for next season. Its possible Chris Neil will be dealt today as well.
10:15am – So much for my Konopka to Canucks pitch. Vancouver is not in on him. He will get moved by the deadline though, just a matter of where. He would be perfect for the Habs; he wins faceoffs and drops the mitts.
10:09am – Mark Stuart very close to signing a 3 year extension with Atlanta (SOURCE: Kevin Allen – USA Today)
10:07am – TSN panel is suggesting that Ales Hemsky will likely be moved by the 3pm deadline. I don't think the Habs will be involved, but I think he would be a good fit.
10:01am – Williams deal seems a bit expensive, but he's been a great fit in LA. They are set at RW with Brown, Williams and Simmonds locked up.
9:57am – Not a trade, but a great move by the LA Kings. They have signed RW Justin Williams to a 4 year deal worth $14.6 million. (SOURCE: Bob McKenzie – TSN)
9:52am – Thrashers are getting calls on defensemen Ron Hainsey and Johnny Oduya (SOURCE: Pierre LeBrun – ESPN)
9:49am – Vancouver has been searching for a 4th line center all season. Konopka would be a great fit and wouldn't cost much.
9:43am – TSN panel discussing the value of Zenon Konopka, mentioning that he is top 5 in the NHL in faceoffs. I wonder what kind of a stick he uses…
9:37am – Here's a weird rumor; apparently Sens have inquired about Ales Hemsky. I couldn't even guess what they would offer to get him given Edmonton's asking price.
9:29am – General consensus is that Brad Richards will either be a Dallas Star or a New York Rangers at 3:01pm today.
9:20am – Many reports had Colorado trading John-Michael Liles to Toronto. TSN reports that a deal is off the table. If a team is willing to offer a 2nd round pick, I think he moves.
9:17am – For teams needing a 2nd line center with some size and experience, Jason Arnott will be a great pickup.
9:06am – Normally there are 25+ deals on deadline day, but the quality of the players is pretty low. Today; it seems like there will be fewer trades but better players involved.
8:56am – "Weiss likes Toronto, however, at the moment the Leafs are not planning on making an offer. That may change as day evolves." (SOURCE: Darren Dreger – TSN)
8:53am – Asking price from the Rangers for Brad Richards is Anisimov, a 1st round pick and a prospect (SOURCE: Larry Brooks – NY Post)
8:49am – Radek Martinek is another pending UFA who is expected to be moved today (SOURCE: Mike Brophy – Sportsnet)
8:44am – When I heard that Pierre Gauthier was on a flight this morning rather than working the phones, I was almost as furious as I was last night at 8:49 & 59 seconds (inside joke). Turns out he's already in Atlanta.
8:41am – There are reports that Columbus D-man Jan Hejda is available. Classic deadline rental player. The Craig Rivet waiver claim made him expendable. (SOURCE: Mark Spector – Sportsnet)
8:34am – I'm up and ready to go! Don't expect any deals before 10am. I'll be posting more rumors and speculation in the first few hours.
2:15am – That's it for tonight! Will be up bright and early to get going again.
2:11am – Another Strickland rumor has the Washington Capitals showing interest in Andy McDonald. Interesting considering they just dealt Brad Boyes in the past few hours, and Erik Johnson not too long ago. A major shakeup is underway in St. Louis. (SOURCE: Andy Strickland)
1:42am – Ok I lied, no sleep just yet! Just got an email from our Oilers correspondent that rumors of Ladislav Smid to Chicago are picking up speed. (SOURCE: ProSportsBlogging.com)
1:01am – This will likely be my last update of the night. There are rumors that Randy Jones is on the verge of being dealt from Tampa Bay to Carolina. Tampa has 9 D, so this makes sense. (SOURCE: Andy Strickland – www.truehockey.com)
12:24am – Surprised at the return for Brad Boyes. That's a guy who I thought would have been a good fit in Montreal. If I was Pierre Gauthier, that would have been worth a 2nd rounder.
12:10am – Brad Boyes traded to the Buffalo Sabres for a 2nd round pick (this technically happened on February 27, but it still counts in my books!)
12:05am – Its officially February 28 – NHL Deadline Day. Keep this window opened during the day tomorrow and click refresh to get breaking news as soon as it happens and instant analysis on the trades.

Had GIL SCOTT-HERON's (born 1949) superb I'm New Here not come out recently, this might have been a threnody. Sixteen years had passed since his previous album, 1994's invigorating Spirits; more than a decade lay between that and its predecessor, Moving Target. In the interim he'd been adduced "proto-rap" — reductive praise for America's greatest living blues singer but that doesn't get it all either; Scott-Heron's brilliance is too vast to summarize. His 1970 debut, Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, set the lyrical tone, a black Phil Ochs via Langston Hughes, "Whitey On The Moon" with spare percussion grooves. His 1971 follow-up, Pieces Of a Man, was the musical future, with pianist/composer Brian Jackson's avant soul-jazz arrangements allowing Scott-Heron to speak and increasingly sing of everything: "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," "Home Is Where The Hatred Is," "Who'll Pay Reparations On My Soul," "We Almost Lost Detroit," "B-Movie," an epic evisceration of Ronald Reagan and more. Then darkness veiled his eyes. In November 2001, as New York State prisoner number 01R5191, Scott-Heron began serving eighteen months for "Crim Poss Contr Substance 5th." In July 2006, as 06R3165, twenty-six months more; again, possession of cocaine. Which travails make I'm New Here all the more staggering. He stares down Robert Johnson and Bobby "Blue" Bland, tries to write a letter but can't get past "Dear Baby, How are you?" He triumphs anyway. Welcome back, brother.

NEO handles KilgoreOctober 14, 2012
If winning two games south of the Red River has been 'steps in the right direction' concerning the progress of the football program, then a 42-24 drubbing of fifth ranked Kilgore, Texas, Saturday afternoon, before a partisan homecoming crowd at Robertson Field, should be a 'feather in the cap' of the 15th rated Northeastern A&M Golden Norsemen.
Coach Dale Patterson's Golden Norse move into a tie with the Navarro College for second place in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference. Both teams are 3-1 in the conference and 6-1 on the season while Kilgore leads the league with a 4-1 mark and 6-1 overall.
NEO concludes the road portion of their schedule next Saturday with a 2 p.m. conference game at Cisco, Texas. The Wranglers played Saturday afternoon at Tyler.
Kilgore took advantage of an interception by free safety Michael Mathis to grab an early lead in the first quarter against NEO.
Mathis picked off a Clayton Mitchem pass at the NEO 25 yard line to give the Rangers a scoring chance.
After an 18-yard pass play from quarterback Tanner Tausch to wide out Darrin Brown, freshman tailback Courtland Smith dashed up the middle for a seven-yard touchdown run with 8:33 left in the first quarter. Yovanny Arizu kicked the point-after to give Kilgore a 7-0 lead.
NEO defensive tackle Braylon Freeman pounced on a fumble by Smith at the Kilgore 14-yard line to create a scoring opportunity for the Norsemen.
Three plays later Mitchem scored on a two-yard run with 2:50 remaining in the first quarter. Kevin King's extra point forged a 7-7 tie.
The Ranger's special teams blocked a punt by NEO's Garrett Powell and DeAngelo Brooks recovered the block at the NEO eight-yard line in the first two minutes of the second quarter.
Tausch concluded the drive on a 4th-and-goal call with a sneak from one-yard out at the 11:44 juncture. Arizu kicked the point-after for a 14-7 Kilgore lead.
After marching 72 yards in 11 plays, the Rangers received a 34-yard field goal by Arizu to increase their lead to 17-7 with 5:59 before halftime. A key in the drive was a 44-yard pass from Tausch to freshman wide out Joe Herrick.
Taking advantage of a 15-yard personal foul penalty levied on Kilgore after NEO's Sam Shepard signaled for a fair catch on the ensuing kickoff, the Golden Norse drove 47 yards in six plays for a score.
Sophomore wide out Kameron Doolittle skirted around right end for an 11-yard TD run with 3:20 until halftime. The PAT by King cut the deficit to a 17-14 margin.
With time winding down until intermission, Mitchem found Powell open for a 28-yard touchdown pass to culminated a 44-yard drive. King's point-after with 0:55 second left gave the Norse the lead for good.
During the first three minutes of the third quarter, Mitchem unleashed a volley of passes that resulted in two long scoring plays.
Veteran wide out Michael Thompson caught a 59-yard TD pass in stride with 12:42 left in the third quarter on NEO's first play. King added the extra point for a 28-17 Norse cushion.
The Mitchem-to-Thompson duo clicked again on NEO's next possession for a 23-yard touchdown pass. Mitchem had connected with Doolittle for 14 yards and Garrett for 11 yards before finding Thompson across the middle. King's PAT produced a 35-17 Norse advantage with 9:11 remaining in the third quarter.
Mounting a 68-yard, seven-play drive on their next possession, Mitchem concluded the march with a 10-yard touchdown run with 4:22 on the clock. The extra point by King allowed NEO to carry a 42-17 lead into the fourth quarter.
Kilgore used a little razzle-dazzle to score the only points in the final 15 minutes.
Tausch took the snap and lateral to tailback Emory Miller who lofted a 21-yard touchdown pass to wide out Ed Marques with 9:42 left in the game. Arizu's point-after concluded the scoring.
NEO's offense accumulated 426 yards in total offense. Curtis led the ground game with 71 yards on nine carries while Mitchem added 36 yards on 17 carries and two TDs.
Mitchem completed 18 of 26 passes for 278 yards and three TDs with one interception. King was 0 for 1 with an interception.
Thompson led the Golden Norse receiving corps with six catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Powell added five receptions for 63 yards and one TD while Doolittle caught four passes for 80 yards.
Karrion Morrisey led the Kilgore ground game with 46 yards on 10 carries as the Rangers generated 378 total yards in offense.
Tausch completed 18 of 31 passes for 187 yards and one interception while Miller completed 2 of 3 passes for 129 yards and one TD with one interception. Ty Chapa hit 2 of 3 passes for 20 yards with one interception.
Carthage, Mo., redshirt freshman free safety Devron Moore recorded all three NEO interceptions. The NEO record is four interceptions in one game by both John Pell in 1966 and Rickey Greene in 1980.

Walt Disney Co. announced Friday that it had canceled plans to build a 500-room resort hotel at National Harbor, dealing a blow to an ambitious project that is seen as an integral part of the economic future of Prince George's County.
The Disney brand was expected to catapult National Harbor and Prince George's to a higher class of national tourist destination. In the Washington region, the harbor is billed as one of the few places people can shop, see a show, host a large business conference and have plenty of affordable options to stay overnight within walking distance.

Last week David Brooks told us ObamaCare was in the bag. Today he pronounces:
Health care reform is important, but it is not worth bankrupting the country over. If this process goes as it has been going — with grand rhetoric and superficial cost containment — then we will be far better off killing this effort and starting over in a few years.
Wow — that was fast! What happened in the interim was a dose of reality and a whole lot of infighting among Democrats. All the talk that Obama had built a coalition — everyone was "in the tent" — and that the hapless Republicans were miles behind in the PR war, has proven illusory. Like the Wicked Witch of the West doused with water, healthcare reform — or at least the liberal version of it — has melted with the introduction of a few key facts: the CBO cost estimate, the aversion to a public option plan, the need for massive taxes to pay for it, and a queasy sense that the president's popularity is fleeting and hasn't convinced the public that bigger government is the way to go.
As Brooks's colleague Ross Douthat points out, it was so much easier simply to throw spitballs at the Republicans:
Liberals torpedoed the Bush administration's attempt to trim Social Security benefits. They demagogued John McCain in 2008, when he proposed a market-based health care plan and hinted at means-testing Medicare.
But now it's their turn to actually run the country. And just as Bush-era conservatives couldn't really make tax cuts pay for themselves, Obama-era Democrats aren't really going to be able to finance universal health care without substantial middle-class tax increases, or substantial spending cuts.
And the president still seems fixated on meaningless feel-good announcements, the latest being an $80B commitment from drug companies to help defray costs for seniors. But it's not really relevant to the the ongoing debate. Roll Call points out that "while the spending by the drugmakers will certainly assist some seniors, it is unclear how it would directly benefit the health reform effort by defraying the cost of providing a new government insurance option. The new spending will aid those who already have insurance — namely, Medicare." And then today the two largest healthcare insurance groups say "no" to the public option.
It's really not clear what happens next. The grandiose scheme to achieve universal coverage without taxes and without making clear Americans were to be herded out of private insurance is seemingly kaput. What will replace it has yet to be determined.

High DRAMa
How do you make prime-time cultural heroes out of guys who spent their teen years socketing chips into circuit boards? If you're Martyn Burke, writer and director of Pirates of Silicon Valley (see "Clash of the Titans," Wired 7.02, page 48), TNT's 90-minute history of the birth pangs of Apple and Microsoft, you spend less time on all-night debugging sessions and more on drag races, acid trips, and facedowns with dolts who dared to stand in the way of young geniuses making their "dent in the universe."
Anthony Michael Hall - who is to geeks as Joe Pesci is to gangsters - nicely underplays Bill Gates, his eyes oozing cagey anomie. ER's Noah Wyle nails Steve Jobs' body language, and the resemblance is uncanny. There's an awful lot of hindsight in the dialogue, as when dimwitted IBM brass blurt, "The profits are in the computers themselves, not this software stuff." Or when Jobs sprints through clouds of tear gas in Berkeley with Steve Wozniak (played by Joey Slotnick), shouting, "These guys think they're revolutionaries. They're not revolutionaries - we are!"
Of course, all that inspired tinkering in the garage did change the world more than the Yippies' attempted levitation of the Pentagon. There's a fizzy ebullience in seeing the Jolly Roger flapping over Apple headquarters and shaven-headed extras finding their places for the filming of the "1984" Super Bowl spot.
Scenes that try to keep things zippy, however - such as set pieces of Gates crooning "My Way" or busting Travolta moves on roller skates to impress babes in a disco - strain credulity. And while Burke groks Shakespearean resonances in Jobs' progress from callow geek to dethroned king, too often his character is made to utter fortune-cookie Jobs-isms. Burke relies on Jobs' tantrums, and his refusal to acknowledge his daughter Lisa, to outline his hero's tragic dimensions, but we never see below the surface. Hamlet with no inner life is just another slacker, and clunkers like "It's like art, science, and religion, all rolled into one" could only be spoken in the one place more surreal than Silicon Valley: Television Land.
- Steve Silberman

The Ashe County Rescue Squad celebrated its 50th anniversary Sunday evening to recognize all of the accomplishments of the rescue squad since its inception.
"I would like to thank each and every squad member for your dedication," said ACRS Capt. Ricky Roark.
Roark was one of several speakers to address the crowd gathered to honor the rescue squad. Another member, A.B. Weaver, a retired charter member who was among the first members of the Ashe County Rescue Squad, gave an eloquent speech to the crowd.
According to Weaver, the Ashe County Rescue Squad has come a long way since its humble beginning.
"We gathered in 1962 (a group of men from West Jefferson) and made a decision that we needed a rescue squad," said Weaver.
Weaver laughed when he said "we contacted the Red Cross for training, spent 14 nights in training, and then they turned us loose on the people."
The rescue squad currently has 31 members on its roster and a wealth of equipment, which includes two ambulances, three fully-equipped crash trucks, and two motorized boats.
"I would never have dreamed the rescue squad would become what it is today. Many people don't know the rescue squad here in Ashe County is one of the best squads in North Carolina," said Weaver.
Weaver also said the current members of the Ashe County Rescue Squad show their deep dedication by constantly training to improve.
All of the work is on a strictly volunteer basis, and yet, many members of the rescue squad have received medical certifications like EMT, EMT-1 and EMT-Paramedic.
The Ashe County Rescue Squad has received several honors during the last 50 years.
For example, in 1991, North Carolina awarded the Ashe County Rescue Squad "Rescue of the Year Award" for a difficult rescue that took place in 1990. On Oct. 29 of that year, the Ashe County Rescue Squad successfully recovered a family of three adults and a 3-year-old child from a 300 foot high cliff after they rolled down the embankment in their car.
Weaver said the most important aspect of the rescue squad is how it's deeply tied to the community.
The rescue squad was born from an idea that the county needed a volunteer organization to help those in need during emergencies. After operating an underfunded organization for several years, the rescue squad drew public attention for its efforts and the public began donating money to the group.
"I've noticed the county is very supportive of of the rescue squad, and in turn, the rescue squad supports the community," said Weaver.
Other speakers at the event included 1st Lt. Kenneth Patrick, President of the Board and 2nd Lt. Robert Poe, N.C. Association of Rescue & EMS (NCAREMS) Executive Director Gordon Joyner, and NCAREMS Area 10 Director Bill Henderson.

Pines Surf Spot
The Surf
Crowd and Culture
Like most spots in our
area there is always a slight feel of localism in the water.
Just north of the beach is Del Mar where many hardcore
surfer's reside. Torrey Pines is a top quality wave and
we're sure that you'll find a few guys that want to make it
their very own surf spot. On the contrary, since this is
such a open and well known surf spot, you'll notice that a
lot of the people in the water aren't locals at all but just
surfers looking for that great ride.
Localism does tend to increase slightly as you get closer to
the River mouth due to the fact that is one of the better
waves along this particular stretch of beach. Keep a good
attitude and abide by the rules of surfing and everything
should be fine while you're out surfing Torrey Pines.

This Week's S.F. Modernism Show Features
Collectables, Furnishings and Fun Not Found Online
Shopping online for mid-century modern furnishings can be easy, Mark Wiskow says, and can save the buyer a few bucks.
But, he says, the San Francisco Modernism Show, which runs Saturday August 13 and Sunday August 14 at the Concourse Exhibition Center (Eighth and Brannan streets, San Francisco), will allow fans to really learn about what's out there—something that's harder to do online.
"You need to know what you're looking for online. If you've never seen these candleholders," Wiskow says, referring to a sleek, silver-plated pair from Denmark, "you don't know to search for them."

Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto

Fly By Night, a world premier musical at Theatre Works by Kim Rosenstock, Michael Mitnick and Will Connolly, directed by Bill Fennelly, is an enchanting and thought provoking night out. Smart, funny and poignant lyrics combine with sweet melodies within a brain-teasing and well-told tale. It's a story as simple as a triangle, as the beguiling, sweet-voiced Narrator, Wade McCollum, tells us - and as complex. "Guided by a star-crossed prophecy, two entrancing sisters and a hapless sandwich maker/would-be songwriter discover a well of courage and a wealth of romance during New York's knockout blackout of 1965. In a charming, darkly comic rock musical…

An interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about Hedge fund tycoon John Paulson may make you think twice about the bond market, as well as housing and gold. Simply put with our nation being the most indebted in the history of the world there is only one way for interest rates to go and that is up, up, up. Realistically it is not a question of if it will happen, it really is more a matter of when and by how much. I believe this is a very cogent assessment on the where the bond market is going.
In fact our team is advising all of our clients if they have the ability to get low interest loan/s, we can and will provide the guidance they need to take advantage of the investment opportunities available in the Silicon Valley real…

Photoshop CC One-on-One is back, and this installment teaches you how to build on your basic knowledge and achieve next-level effects with this premiere image-editing program. Industry pro Deke McClelland shows you how to seamlessly move and patch areas of a photo with the Content-Aware toolset; stretch the brightness of a scene with automatic and custom Levels adjustments; create intricate designs with text and shapes; and morph an image with layer effects and transformations. Deke also shares his techniques for sharpening details, whether addressing noise and highlight/shadow clipping or camera shake, and converting a full-color image to black and white. The final chapters show you how to best print and save images for the web, making sure all your hard work pays off in the final output.
In this movie, I'll show you how to manually adjust these black and white settings, in order to achieve the best results. Now it's a little bit tricky to try to make decisions about reds, yellows, greens and so forth, when you're seeing the black and white version of the image. Because you really don't know where they are. One way to test their location is to just play with the slider. For example, keep an eye on this foreground group of trees right there. If I set the yellows value to its maximum of 300, then those trees brighten up.
If I reduce that value to its minimum of negative 200, the trees get darker. So that's one way to work. And then of course you can set the yellows value to whatever you think it should be. Based on what you see. The other way to work is to grab this target adjustment tool and notice that the little icon shows arrows moving left and right and that's how you want to use the tool. That is by scrubbing to the left and to the right inside the image. So I'll go ahead and select that tool and I'll drag to the right inside the sky in order to brighten up that sky.
And you can see then in this case, Photoshop is attacking the Cyans value, so it's going to modify one value at a time. Now I'll try dragging in a different section of the sky, like here inside the clouds, and I'll drag to the left, and you can see that goes ahead and darkens up that value. So apparently the sky is made up of blues and cyans In so far as Photoshop is concerned. Now I'll go and zoom in here on this guy, and you can see that we are bringing out a ton of noise now. Some of the problem is as I was saying in the previous movie, I shot these images using a consumer-grade camera.
So the detail is not as good as I might have gotten with an SLR. However, the other issue is that I've moved the cyans and blues in totally different directions. So I'm going to go ahead and take that blues value up, let's say to negative 50. And then I'm going to take the cyans value which is obviously closely related here, down to something similar. Not exactly the same but let's say ten for the sake of this image. Now I'm still left with some noise in the sky however, it's not nearly as dramatic as it was before.
Alright, now I'll go ahead and zoom out so I can see a few more details inside my image. And I'm going to scroll down as well. And because this image is so wide, I'm going to go ahead and collapse my right side panels. So I have a little more room to work with. And notice a couple of details here. We have these fence slats in the bottom right corner of the image. We also have these ties over here near the ski lift on the far left side. And if I were to drag on those, notice I'll go ahead and drag on that little guy, and drag to the right.
I'm brightening up both of those details, because I'm affecting the reds. And if I were to drag to the left, I would darken those details. And we can see, if I move the yellow slider, that both of those details are affected by yellow as well. So what I'm going to do is take the yellows value up to 110 here. And then I'll shift tag back to the reds and I'll take that value down to ten so we don't end up over-brightening these things that are ultimately set against light backgrounds.
That is to say, snow. Finally, I'm going to take my magenta's value up just a little bit to 100. And then if you move the greens triangle back and forth you're going to see almost no difference in this image despite the number of trees that populate this scene, those trees do not seem to be green in so far as Photoshop is concerned. So what I'm going to do is split the difference between the yellows and cyans value, so I'll go ahead and set that value to 60. And if I were to give you any advice about adjusting these values, besides just go for it be subjective, it would be that you're going to end up with less noise and less posterization If you keep neighboring values pretty close to each other; that is to say, within a hundred.
Now at this point, if you feel like these are the kinds of settings that you'll be using frequently throughout your images, Then you can go up here to the flyout menu, in the upper right corner of the properties panel, and you can choose save black and white preset. And then I'll go ahead and give my preset a name, such as Big Sky, and I'll click the save button. And you'll see your preset right there at the top of the panel. And if nothing else you may find your presets useful when you are trying to modify images that were shot under similar circumstances. All right now go ahead, and press the F key a couple of times, in order to fill the screen with the image.
And just for the sake of comparison, here's the original full color version of the panorama, and here is the much more dramatic black, and white version. Thanks to our ability to customize the settings associated with a black and white adjustment layer here inside Photoshop.

Do you need documents in languages unfamiliar to you? If so, we may be able to help you.
Our collections include:
- More than half a million journal articles translated into English from a wide variety of languages, particularly Japanese, Russian, German and French, ranging in date from the 1800s to the present day.
- Cover-to-cover translations of selected Russian scientific serials, many available through British Library Inside.
- Patents, standards, conference papers and books translated into English.
When you request an item from us, at no extra cost we can:
- Check for an existing English version of the document you require, saving you the time, money and trouble of getting it translated
- Tell you if an English abstract appears with the original language article and offer you this as an alternative
- If required, check for a translation and if none exists, supply the document in its original language instead
Remember, you are not charged for any requests we cannot satisfy.
The Translations section does not:
- Carry out any translation work itself
- Collect or index translations from English into other languages.
Points to remember when requesting translations
- If you require an English translation, make this clear when you make a request
- Registered customers - consult your Handbook for details
- Non-registered customers customers - state clearly your requirements on your request.
- Please do not ask for translations of items obviously in English e.g. British Medical Journal, because this causes unnecessary delay in processing your request.
- A journal title or article title quoted in English does not necessarily mean the document you get will be in English - this is especially the case with Japanese journals.
Since the majority of our translation records are not available online, you should send your requests to us whenever you require an English translation.

CLEMSON -- Near the top of Dabo Swinney's offseason to-do list was to have his quarterback more involved as a running threat. Like anyone else observing trends in college football, the Clemson coach witnessed how dual-threat quarterbacks are confounding defenses.
One reason why Swinney hired offensive coordinator Chad Morris was because he shared Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn's offensive philosophy, one which allowed quarterback Cam Newton to become a 1,000-yard rusher last season.
As improved as the Clemson offense is through nine weeks -- ranking 17th in total offense after ranking 88th a year ago -- Clemson still has one problem: its quarterback is not a rushing threat.
Quarterback Tajh Boyd has rushed for 164 yards in nine games this season, averaging less than 20 rushing yards per contest, and was limited to being a pocket passer at Georgia Tech.
When Clemson returns from its off-week to face Wake Forest next Saturday, Morris wants to see improvement in this area.
"I think he has to get involved in the run game," Morris said. "We tried to (run Boyd) last week on a third-and-2 and we couldn't convert with him running the ball. We have to involve him a little bit more in the run game and get him in a little bit of a groove. You hope nine games in he's able to come in and open it up a little more. "
Morris also wants to see Boyd be more consistent in his footwork. At Georgia Tech, some of Boyd's inaccurate throws were linked to throwing off his back foot.
"He wasn't setting his feet like needed to, especially on some of those throws out in the flat to the backs," Morris said.
Safety net
After playing safety for the first time at Georgia Tech, defensive back Xavier Brewer said he is again practicing at safety this week.
Brewer, who typically plays cornerback, said he is working at strong safety while Rashard Hall and Jonathan Meeks are splitting time at free safety. Hall played just 31 snaps at Georgia Tech and has been limited by a knee injury that will likely require offseason surgery.
Better now than later
Right tackle Landon Walker said Clemson did not match Georgia Tech's intensity Saturday, and said the humbling experience might have come at a good time to refocus a young team, as Walker and others noted it is better to lose in November than in a potential ACC title game in December.

Baby's in Black
The Beatles were the One Direction of their day, or to put it correctly, One Direction are The Beatles of today. Few bands have been so loved for so long as the boys from Liverpool. My mother spent her teenage years listening to The Beatles. It's a love that hasn't faded, and it's a love she passed on to me. I remember playing her albums (in the days before CDs and downloads to your IPod), singing along to the songs.
So, what's the point of my reminiscing, you ask? Well, I've just finished a new graphic novel called Baby's in Black. It's about the early days of The Beatles, when the Fab Four was the Fab Five and they were playing small clubs in Germany, and had yet to make their big debut in America. At its core is the blossoming relationship between Stuart Sutcliffe (the fifth Beatle) and Astrid Kirchherr, a German photographer. It tells of their first meeting and their instant attraction for one another. It details the early struggles the group had trying to make a living in Germany; of Sutcliffe's renewed interest in painting; and his eventual departure from the group. It also tells of his growing headaches and fatigue, followed by his untimely death at age 21. Subtly alluded to at first, his condition is always acknowledged, but downplayed as merely working too hard.
The book is drawn in lovely black and white, and while the artwork may be simple by design, it is no less effective in the story it tells. Arne Bellstorf, who wrote and illustrated the book, does a fine job conveying a sweet love story between Stuart and Astrid, which is the real heart of the book. It's actually a rather nice surprise to see it from Astrid's point of view. John, Paul, George, Stuart and Pete (Ringo Starr was not a part of the group at this time) are just teens who really want to play music. There is only a hint of the fame that is to come.
The characters are distinct enough to know who's who, and the drawing is charming. At 196 pages, it certainly can't go into massive detail about the events but it does a nice job of giving you enough of the story to know what's going on. It's a pleasant, nostalgic look at The Beatles before they were The Beatles.

Food for Thought: Food based training, assessment and intervention tools for carers of looked after young people
Food works not only on a material level as sustenance but also on a symbolic level where it can come to represent thoughts, feelings and relationships (Punch et al. 2009). Recent studies have shown the role of food in the demonstration of care (eg Kaplan 2000) and the negotiation of power relationships between adults and children (Grieshaber, 1997). It is central to the construction of children's identities (James et al., 2009) both in families (Wills et al., 2008) as well as amongst peers (Valentine, 2000).
This project advances knowledge exchange between academics, practitioners, carers and educators in relation to the use of food in the care of looked after children. It will co-produce, with Partner Agencies and the Institute for Research and Innovation in Social Services, a training package on the symbolic use of food in residential and foster care and design an interactive assessment tool to aid residential staff and foster carers' reflections on the child in their care and the food practices which are in place.
The project will monitor how these tools have been integrated into practice. In addition, the team will conduct a critical reflection on the process of partnership working and co-production in academic research.

The letter came from Dan Miller, business editor of the Chicago Sun-Times. It read, in part: Dear Mr. Berger: Global warming is one of the most controversial issues journalists have to address today. On the one hand we hear Former Vice President Albert Gore and the United Nations saying "the debate is over." On the […] [Read More]
A big bang within astronomy?
It's now been four years since scientists measured the afterglow of the Big Bang with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe and delivered a stunning picture of the early universe. I clearly recall writing a story and marvelling at the results. Some scientists were even more impressed, George Smoot, a noted astronomer who did earlier work […] [Read More]

" Most people have seen the Oscar winning movie based on this play written by Peter Shaffer. But as great as the film version is, "the play's the thing," providing an immediacy to audiences that a movie never can. Live performers on a stage really draw us in and when the star is as good as Elsman, the audience is totally intrigued by Salieri's struggles with mediocrity verses genius."

"Superb….Marin Shakespeare Company performs every summer in the very beautiful Dominican University of California outdoor Amphitheatre, set in a quasi forest setting in San Rafael. It seems as though it is a long way away from Walnut Creek, but in reality, it is only about a 45- minute to one-hour drive, depending on the route you take. I have not gone there for some time because we can see such excellent Shakespeare theater right in our own backyard, with the California Shakespeare Theatre located in the Orinda foothills.
But when I received notice that it was producing "Amadeus" in repertory with "The Winters Tale" at this time, I decided it was time to revisit this superb theatrical company again….Peter Shaffer's "Amadeus" is directed by James Dunn, who delivers a superb professional level cast and production in this current offering….The play is an exciting dramatization of what appears to be a largely fictitious re-writing of history, however, perfectly executed by a stellar cast….this is a terrific production and I strongly recommend that this is a dramatization that you should enjoy….Elsman…is phenomenal as the young Salieri….Drew Hirshfield, who plays Mozart, and Elise Youssef, who plays Mozart's wife, are truly outstanding. The entire cast does a highly commendable job, delivering an enjoyable evening of entertainment. The sets (by Bruce Lackovic) and costumes (by Patricia Polen) contributed immensely to the entire experience."
