Rescue crews work at the scene of a collapsed barn Friday evening in Chandlersville after powerful storms tore through Ohio. A 70-year-old woman died when the barn collapsed above her as she checked on her animals during the storm. / Trevor Jones/Times Recorder
Friday night's storms across Ohio presented major production challenges for this edition. It likely is being delivered to you late. We apologize for the inconvenience.
You can get updates about the storm's impact and efforts to clean up damage and restore power at www.ZanesvilleTimesRecorder.com and ZanesvilleTimesRecorder.com.
The fast-moving storm that moved across the state Friday left one dead in Chandlersville and a report of a possible tornado in Perry County.
Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz confirmed that one person died when a barn collapsed on North Leedom Road. In addition, one person was injured at the scene.
Capt. Jeff LeCocq said the victim in Chandlersville was a 70-year-old woman. An autopsy will be conducted. Her name is not being released until the family is notified.
The woman was accompanied by a man, who escaped. The two had gone to the barn to check on animals.
A strong line of storms battered the area for about an hour, sending emergency crews across the area responding to downed lines and trees. When the skies began to clear, Emergency Management Agency personnel in Perry County began to assess damage.
Perry County EMA Director Rita Spicer said Roseville and Shawnee were disasters.
A family in Roseville was displaced because of the storm.
Only one injury was reported. That person did not receive medical attention. There was one tree on a car on Tile Plant Road, and all fire departments were out cleaning up debris.
Perry County Sheriff William "Randy" Barker said the county was hit harder than he'd ever seen.
Crews went out to see if they could confirm a possible tornado touchdown outside of New Lexington. Sgt. Brent Tysinger, of the Perry County Sheriff's Office, said he believed it was not a tornado but rather straight line winds that took down trees and snapped a power pole in half.
Nearly all of Perry County was out of power. Perry County 911 was down and going through New Lexington 911.
The volume of calls caused the Muskingum County Sheriff's Office to ask the public to stop calling 911 except for emergencies, not for power outage reports.
A traffic light and power lines came down on Dryden Road.
Don Taylor, a resident on Luck Avenue, felt the power of the wind when he opened his screen door.
"I was blown back when I opened my door," he said. "The wind was howling, and I saw a flash of a transformer. I also heard some of the trees cracking and falling into the streets."
Aaron Sharrer, who also lives on Luck, saw a tree fall on a parked car in the street.
"The wind started picking up and blowing everything around," he said. "You could even see the electricity out of the lines."
On Zanesville's west side Friday evening, the storm damaged a duplex on Melrose Avenue.
According to one resident in the area, lightning struck a tree in the backyard of 1234 1/2 Melrose Avenue, taking down multiple power lines in the process.
The tree fell through a window and damaged the roof of the upstairs apartment in the process.
No residents were in the house when the damage occurred. Downstairs resident Ashley Emahiser and her family were at the neighbors in the cellar.
The Zanesville Fire Department responded to the scene and blocked off the alleys between Melrose and Chapman Street.
Trees also fell in a small open field on Chapman.
"We knew there were storms coming," Emahiser said. "We came (next door) ... All of a sudden we felt the house shake. We went upstairs to see what happened and a tree fell through the house. Thankfully nobody was in there."
Across town, the home and family of Don Fleming escaped danger. But the large maple tree in his front yard at his home, on the corner of Wheeling Avenue and Dewey Street, split down the middle, fell and laid across Wheeling, blocking traffic.
It also destroyed a street sign.
"I was in the house with my daughter," Fleming said. "I swear it felt like my house moved off the foundation."
Fleming's neighbor cut a portion of the tree apart in effort to clear a lane for traffic, which was heavier than normal due to a portion of Greenwood Avenue being closed near the Pump-n-Pantry.
Fleming said the damage occurred around 6:15 p.m.
"My daughter, she was crying. She was scared to death," Fleming said. "The house was built in 1921, so you know it's a strong house. I've never felt like this house could move, but what I felt inside that house, it definitely has changed my feelings on that."
Fleming was certain the activity was tornadic.
"It had to be," Fleming said. "It happened so fast, by the time I got outside to see what happened, it was already gone."
The roof of The Fieldhouse came off in one large piece, said owner Mick Amicone.
"We're thankful no one was nearby when the storm hit," he said.
Morgan County was hit hard by strong winds, hail, lightning and rain.
The Independence Day Festival on the square had to close early and tents and equipment at the festival were damaged.
Trees are down and roads are closed all over the county. There were widespread power outages in areas of Malta, McConnelsville and the county in general.
Staff writers Kathy Thompson, Sam Blackburn and Brandon Hannahs and correspondent Brian Mckee contributed to this report.

Festival - Second Life
Launching a major new competitive festival in a crowded calendar was never going to be easy. At times it looked like last year's inaugural Rome Film Fest was going to be as notable for its audacious entry to the festival circuit as it would for its programme. In the end Rome was well received by the industry, and in its second year the event is looking to consolidate its strengths as an audience festival with a strong seam of premieres.

(SportsNetwork.com) - In the second game of a three-game set following the All-Star break, the Texas Rangers will battle the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre Saturday.
Rangers go for back-to-back wins in Toronto
Texas will send Colby Lewis out to the mound to try and solve a potentially potent Blue Jays lineup, while the home squad will counter with Marcus Stroman on the mound.
Lewis has battled to a 6-6 record this season, but hasn't been able to keep his earned run average down as he enters the fray with a 6.54 mark in the category.
His most recent start came against the Angels back on July 10, in which he only lasted 2 1/3 innings on the hill after surrendering a whopping 13 runs (11 earned) on 13 hits. He undoubtedly picked up the loss in the eventual 15-6 Angels victory.
"I felt like it was one of those days. They hit it," Lewis said. "They found the gap and I got beat. Plain and simple."
His career against the Blue Jays doesn't leave much room for hope, either. Lewis has taken on Toronto nine times with eight career starts, and owns a 3-4 record with a 7.34 ERA. The Jays have put up 34 runs on Lewis in his 41 2/3 career innings.
Stroman has pitched in 13 games this season, and has made only eight starts. Still, he sports a 4-2 record with a 4.05 ERA with 47 strikeouts to just 13 walks.
The 23-year-old righty hasn't picked up a decision since June 23 - a victory against the Yankees. He's made three appearances since then, his most recent being a short outing against the Angels on July 9. He lasted 3 2/3 innings and gave up five earned runs on eight hits in an 8-7 loss.
At home this season, Stroman has pitched much better. He's accumulated a 3-1 record at Rogers Centre with a 3.89 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP. And 33 of his 47 strikeouts have been on his home turf.
Yu Darvish was on the mound Friday night for the Rangers, who jumped ahead 2-0 in the fifth inning and then 5-0 following a J.P. Arencibia three-run homer in the seventh.
Darvish went 6 2/3 inning Friday night and allowed just one run and five hits while racking up 12 strikeouts against the Jays. He picked up the win - his ninth of the season.
"It was a solid game all the way around," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We made all the plays. That's the way we have to continue to play."
Colby Rasmus provided the only run for the Blue Jays with a solo homer in the bottom half of the seventh inning. R.A. Dickey got the start for Toronto and gave up five runs in seven innings pitched. He was tagged with the loss - his 10th on the year.
Jose Bautista, who entered the game Friday as the American League leader in on-base percentage, went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the loss.
The Blue Jays have dropped three games in a row going back before the All-Star break, while Texas ended an eight-game skid that preceded the Midsummer classic. It was the Rangers' second win since June 29 (16 games).

Tracks social networking activity for Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Tracks smartphone calls, texts, and emails. Parents can filter data in many ways. Realtime email or text notification of risky behavior. Geolocation via smartphone. Feature-limited free edition available.
Only works if the child cooperates. Filter to show tagged images not working. Geolocation via Facebook check-in didn't work in testing. Forum-based help system incomplete.
Bottom Line
With uKnowKids you can track your child's social networking activity in one convenient Web portal. It tracks email, texts, and calls on smartphones, too. Real-time alerts notify you of risky behavior. The product exhibited some minor bugs in testing, but overall it's impressive.
Real-Time Notifications
I've mentioned the option to receive a text or email notification when your child communicates with a monitored contact. You can configure uKnowKids to send either type of notification for each of the other nine notification categories. For example, you might choose no notification for tagged images, email for possible profanity, and SMS for possible illegal activity. A social network post that triggered a notification will be included in the email, with risky language and slang identified and deciphered.
You can also choose to have uKnowKids send you a daily, weekly, or monthly summary of recent activity. This report offers much the same information as the online activity summary page, but filtered for the specified time period. If everything seems fine you can just move on; if anything looks worrisome you can click a link for further investigation online.
There's actually one more tab in the online interface, the Community tab. This tab includes forum-based help along with links to email customer support or start a live chat help session. However, when I searched the forum-based help on terms like contact, install, and Facebook, I got no results.
Free Edition
Amazingly, you can get a significant chunk of this product's features for free. uKnowKids Essential tracks Facebook only, along with smartphone activity. It doesn't offer the Family Map feature, and you'll have to do without support. There's no Images tab, nor to images appear on the Activity page. Text and email notifications aren't part of the free product.
It makes sense to set up a free account initially and see how you like it. You'll get plenty of invitations to upgrade. And if you decide you no longer want to pay $9.95/month, you can keep the free protection.
Work In Progress
It's clear that uKnowKids has almost all the same features as Editors' Choice SocialShield ($96/year direct, 4.5 stars). It even goes farther with tracking of texts, phone calls, and emails made through Android or BlackBerry smartphones. uKnowKids doesn't promise to work with you to get bullying stopped the way SocialShield does. However, a one-time fee of $49.95 gets you the services of a "personal social media and support helpdesk."
The only problem is that uKnowKids is still a work in progress. I started this review in late summer, only to shut it down for months at the request of the company, so they could tune and add features. Even now when it's supposedly all ready, I hit a number of small bugs. Filtering on tagged images doesn't work, for example, and location via Facebook check-in didn't work for me.
On the plus side, the uKnowKids developers are a small group with big plans. They're working on these bugs already, and have some big new features planned. SocialShield, watch out!

FALMOUTH — Citing at least one witness's refusal to cooperate, prosecutors dropped charges Monday against a 44-year-old Falmouth man accused of threatening two women with a sword in December.
James Pierson, of 246 North Falmouth Highway, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and threatening to commit a crime. He initially had been held in lieu of $2,500 bail after pleading not guilty but was released Jan. 6 when the bail was lowered to $500 after a pretrial hearing, according to court records.
On Dec. 19, police responded to North Falmouth Highway after receiving an anonymous call about 7:30 p.m. that Pierson was "walking around the house with a sword." When officers arrived, Pierson was not holding a sword, according to the arrest report. But officers went into the house and emerged with a "large, double-edged sword."
According to two witnesses, Pierson was holding the sword in a "very scary manner" and allegedly threatened to stab two people.
According to the report, he also punched a hole in a bathroom door and "threatened to burn the house down." Officers drew their stun guns but never used them after Pierson grew agitated with police and screamed at them about a drug dealer in his house.

Thank this author by sharing:
By Brad McGehee,
By now, you must have heard about the next version of SQL Server, code-named "Denali". If Microsoft follows its typical three-year release cycle, then presumably this latest version of SQL Server will be released late in 2011. The Denali CTP1 (Community Technology Preview) was released this past November at the PASS Community Summit, which means that you've had about three months to download it and start learning how to use it. It also means that you have about eight months or so before it's shipped. So, are you prepared for this new release?
Fortunately, Denali doesn't appear to be a radical departure from SQL Server 2008, so most of its features will be familiar to you. On the other hand, many of the existing features have been tweaked, such as Management Studio, security, T-SQL, SSIS, Full-Text Search, and much more. Besides these enhancements, there are many new features, such as Contained Databases, HADR (High Availability Disaster Recovery), and Column-based Query Accelerator, to name just a few. No matter how you look at it, it will take some dedicated time to learn about and master Denali.
So my question to you is this: How much time have you spent learning about Denali? I'm sure some of you early-adopters have already downloaded the CTP1 and spent many hours exploring its new features. On the other hand, I'm guessing that most of you haven't downloaded the CTP, nor even spent much time reading up on Denali.
Of those of you who have downloaded and explored the CTP, please tell us what you think about it.
For those of you who have yet to spend much time with Denali, how do you plan on getting up to speed on it, and when? Will you try to learn more before it is released, or will you wait until it has shipped?
To get you on your way to learning Denali, you can download the CTP, and read up on additional information.

Calipari launches Web site, Facebook page
John Calipari is continuing his quest to take over the Internet.
Last week the Kentucky coach's new Web site, www.coachcal.com, was launched. In addition, UK established a page for Calipari on the social-networking site Facebook. As of Saturday, more than 13,000 Facebook users had registered as fans of Calipari.
It's the second social-networking foray for Calipari, who as of Saturday had more than 466,000 followers on Twitter.
But coachcal.com is the biggest Internet undertaking of Calipari's short UK tenure.
"You want to know everything about Kentucky basketball," Calipari says in a video introduction to the site. "Well, you know where you get it? Our Web site. It's an unobstructed view. No filters."
The site features a blog, a biography of Calipari and a page devoted to his upcoming book, "Bounce Back," set for release on Sept.1.
There also will be content exclusive to users who sign up as subscribers to the Web site. Subscription plans range from a free basic plan to a "player" membership that costs $59.95 yearly.
A portion of the proceeds from the Web site will benefit the Calipari Family Foundation For Children, according to the site's membership page.
New big man figures to bolster Eagles
The Eagles' chances of returning to the NCAA Tournament might have gotten a little better last week when they picked up a 6-foot-9 forward from London, England. Jason Beharie will have two seasons of eligibility and can play in 2009-10. Beharie averaged 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per game for Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain's Canary Islands.
Beharie probably will back up star forward Kenneth Faried.
"He's a skilled big guy," Morehead coach Donnie Tyndall said. "He can step out and make 15- to 17-foot jump shots. He can really run the floor. He's not a great back-to-the-basket scorer yet. I think he can really complement Kenneth. He's not as athletic as Kenneth, but he's a nice athlete."
Morehead will return four starters from the team that won last season's Ohio Valley Conference Tournament and reached the NCAAs for the first time since 1984. The Eagles figure to be favored to win the regular-season OVC championship.
Hoops helped Creek bond with stepfather
When Maurice Creek met Michael Morgan Jr., the worn basketball looked more like a medicine ball in Creek's tiny hands. He was just a few weeks shy of turning 3.
Morgan was a friend of Creek's mother; and they married a few years later. That day though, Morgan was shooting baskets behind his dad's home when Creek wandered up and started watching. Eventually, he was shooting, too.
Before long, basketball became Creek's primary outlet. This fall - pending the SAT results he's awaiting - he'll take his skills to Bloomington, where he is one of the prize recruits in IU's freshman class. He is probably the "most polished of the IU recruits in terms of being ready right away," according to Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com.
Creek was being raised by a single mom, didn't have a father figure and lacked discipline. Morgan said basketball brought him out of his shell.
"What he really needed as a young boy was a vehicle to help him open up and talk," Morgan told The Indianapolis Star. "And so ? we would play some ball, and that's when we would talk about things.
"And over time we just developed a bond."
The two eventually began working out for up to six hours a day during the summer. They resumed this year after Creek graduated from Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia.
A few days later, Creek and Morgan began a rigorous workout schedule provided by IU coach Tom Crean and his staff.
"The whole idea is to have him go through Indiana's workout regimen so that he can just get up there and move right into the fold," Morgan said. " ? One of the big keys is going to be to try to build his upper body strength up as quickly as we can."
Crean said the hope with giving incoming recruits a workout plan is to build an awareness of what they need to do to compete.
"If I was to tell Maurice some things he really needed to get better at, it would be to have a mind-set to become a defensive stopper and to continue to build his strength so that he can handle the ball against stronger guards and get to the rim," Crean said. "The final thing would be to just shoot the ball every opportunity that he gets during the day so he just becomes one of the best shooters in the freshman class."
Hummel played through back injury
Robbie Hummel's back injury forced him to consider declining an invitation to try out for the USA World University Games team. But the Boilermakers' forward toughed it out, made the team and returned home with a bronze medal.
Hummel, who will be a junior next season, said he and Purdue coach Matt Painter discussed whether he should go to Colorado Springs, Colo., last month for the training camp.
"We decided that it was probably best for me to try out," Hummel said. "He said, 'If your back starts hurting, you can always just say (so) and stop. I thought it was too much of an opportunity to pass on, and so did he."
The 6-8 forward averaged 7.3 points and 5.6 rebounds while starting three of the seven games in Serbia this month. He scored 14 in a loss to Russia in the semifinals. He was cautious with the injury during the tournament but feels that might not be necessary anymore.
"I felt really good over there," he said. "I didn't wear my back brace off the court at all. I wore it when I played, but now I'm starting to try to play without it. Hopefully, that can continue to progress and I'll be done wearing it for good."
Mason will be back at St. John's
Anthony Mason Jr. was granted a medical hardship by the Big East Conference and will rejoin the Red Storm for a final season in 2009-10.
Mason, who led the team in scoring with a 14.0 average as a junior, played in just three games last season after tearing a tendon in his left foot. He had surgery in December and was cleared to return to the court for offseason voluntary workouts in early June.
Hoyas, Mississippi State to play in Wooden Classic
Georgetown will play its first West Coast game in eight years against Washington, and UCLA plays Mississippi State in the 16th annual John R. Wooden Classic on Dec. 12 in Honda Center in Anaheim.
Georgetown hasn't played in California since visiting UCLA in 2001. It will be the Hoyas' first meeting with defending Pacific-10 champion Washington.
UCLA is 9-3 in the Wooden Classic. Mississippi State played in the 2004 event, losing to Arizona.

Facebook offers more ways to share personal information
Just what Facebook needs, you're thinking -- more ways for people to share stuff about their lives. The social networking site has launched a batch of new apps to let people tell their family, friends and co-workers what they're up to.
Among the apps include ways to report what they cooked for dinner, what they're wearing -- or what concert they went to. In all, there are more than 60 new apps, all geared toward putting stuff on their Facebook profiles, now known as their Timeline.

What's America's Richest Neighborhood?
Encompassing the super-rich sections of Greenwich, the average mean household income is around $614,242. From personal experience, this writer can tell you that the area does house a number of working-class residents, but that's thrown off by a decent handful of folks who own their own beachfront peninsulas complete with helipads. Suffice to say, it's nice out there.
Actually, Greenwich represents a number of the hallmarks Atlantic Monthly writer Richard Florida says are key to luring the 1%. Walkability and an easy commute to a major business center are high priorities. Alas, Florida also notes that most of these areas are run toward the racially homogenous — a sign of who still owns most of the wealth in this country. Actually, these 1,000 top neighborhoods only house two million people, a mere 0.6% of the American population. But, we can't hate on this, though we can dream of ruining property values by moving in and having backyard amateur wrestling competitions.

Parenting for life~ "[Jesus said] I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
Holiday traditions
I mentioned Simple Mom in my last post, and today she reminds us to get working on preparations for Advent. Advent often sneaks up on me, so suddenly after Thanksgiving, that we either are left foregoing most of it or I have to shop frantically for materials. The Jesse Tree is something we have done in the past that the children enjoyed- but it does take some advance planning. And why can I never find pink and purple candles for my Advent wreath? Perhaps I should be looking for those now instead of the day after Thanksgiving.
Another thing we've done to celebrate the holidays: Jeff's mother had a miniature fisherman's basket ornament that she had given him as a teen. It's about 4x4x3", and I set it on the table centerpiece near the Advent wreath (or not, if I didn't find candles that year), with some strips of paper and a pencil. The family is encouraged to write down answers to prayer and "blessinglist" people (who we pray will accept Jesus as Lord), and then put those papers, rolled up scroll-like, into the basket. Each year, we take them out and read them- sometimes "blessinglist" people are turned into "answers to prayer" and we keep those slips in there, to remember the ways God has answered our prayers over the years.
(the picture above is our family Christmas portrait from 1999)
Here is another Advent resource I stumbled upon today after starting at Simple Mom's blog:

Group to suggest options to improve prison operations
A member of a Fayette County group that is exploring options for a new jail warned that timing will be critical in obtaining a favorable financing rate on any bonds that may be floated to pay for a new lockup.
County Controller Sean Lally said Thursday that he has met recently with various investment bankers and financial experts to discuss the "optimal point" for obtaining favorable interest rates on bonds.
"The optimal point was yesterday," Lally said, noting the experts advised him that rates are at an historic 30-year low.
Lally leads the group's finance team.
County Commissioner Al Ambrosini organized the panel in November to meet monthly to report on progress individual teams have made regarding ways to improve prison operations.
The group's recommendations — which will include suggestions for everything from implementing mental health and drug and alcohol programs to building a prison — are to be presented to the prison board by the end of the year, Ambrosini said.
Lally said rates on 30-year bonds were at 3.65 percent as of Wednesday.
As an example, he said that if the county were to float a $30 million bond over 30 years at 3.65 percent, the total cost would be $49.5 million. If rates were to rise by just 1 percent before the county is in a position to borrow, the same bond, at 4.65 percent, would cost $76.5 million.
"Time is of the essence to do this," Lally said.
County commissioners have not yet discussed whether they will build a new prison.
Lally said they need to act soon, though, to begin the process of obtaining a bond to finance construction because the county must first obtain a bond rating.
Fees charged by agencies such as Moody's and Standard and Poor's for the ratings are approximately $20,000, Lally said.
Jim Killinger, who leads the architectural team, said a number of locations for a new prison are still under consideration, including sites in Dunbar and Smithfield boroughs and Franklin and German townships.
Ambrosini said one of the locations in Dunbar is near the Joseph A. Hardy Connellsville Airport, but he would not reveal the exact location. He said he spoke with Bureau of Aviation officials in Harrisburg on Wednesday about the location, and a staff member there has been assigned to determine whether it is feasible to use it.
Ambrosini said any site near the airport cannot be near flight paths.

About 12 hours after Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Los Angeles Kings, Mikael Granlund became the Wild's points leader.
As coach Mike Yeo watched video of the game, he noticed that Granlund should have been credited with an assist on Jonas Brodin's first-period goal. The Wild notified the league, which reviewed the play and gave an assist to Granlund, his second of the season opener.
Still a loss
Yeo said he felt his team played well Thursday night, but he was hesitant to declare it a success.
"I don't think that we should just sit here and pat ourselves on the back too much, either," Yeo said. "The bottom line is we didn't win. We played a good game and I know if we continue to play better and continue to develop and grow every part of our game then the wins will come."

School districts around York County faced typical challenges in balancing their budget this year, and some officials said they don't expect much to look different in the future.
All but three school districts in York County raised taxes for next year, with most of those increases in the 2 percent range. Some officials cited the usual culprits -- increasing pension contributions, increasing health care costs -- among the pressures they faced in 2014-15.
And going forward, some officials don't see much change on the horizon, despite a gubernatorial election in the fall and ongoing conversations about funding.
Looking ahead isn't much different from looking back, said Butch Potter, Dallastown Area School Board president.
"The big unknown is what dollars come from Harrisburg, what will happen with pension contribution amounts," he said. "I think our future situation is really highly dependent on those two things."
Potter said he thinks the possibility of change from an election tends to be overestimated. The state has to balance its budget and the state economy's been fairly flat.
"It stands to reason that not much more is going to come out of Harrisburg," he said.
Emilie Lonardi, West York Area School District superintendent, said the governor's race is the one positive thing happening. Whether voters stick with Gov. Tom Corbett or replace him with Tom Wolf, she said, neither can succeed without addressing education.
"People are so upset about what's been done for education the last couple of years," she said.
West York adopted a 5.3 percent tax increase for next year. The district furloughed 19 staffers, though eight of those have now been brought back into other positions, Lonardi said. She and Rodney Drawbaugh, president of West York's board, cited special education and pension costs as the main drivers.
Drawbaugh said he's hopeful the governor's race could lead to "real change."

"Everyone's sort of saying the right things — that education is a key component of the race, of the strategies for winning the race," he said, adding that he hopes it will "get some traction."
But Jeff Mummert, South Western School District's business administrator, said he doesn't think the governor's race matters much.
Most officials in Harrisburg would like to give more money to education, he said, but they have to have the money to give.
"It all comes down to revenues," he said.
State officials have been wrestling with how to close a more than $1 billion budget gap. Next year's state budget is due June 30, but it's unclear whether lawmakers will hit that deadline.
Corbett has pushed for pension reform and liquor privatization, while others -- including Wolf -- have said the state should adopt an extraction tax on natural gas drilling.
Drawbaugh, from West York, said that "unless our state legislature gets its act together, there are going to continue to be problems."
Though state officials are talking about pension reform, no one has come up with a plan that "makes sense" and would be adopted, he said.
Mummert said that if the pension issue continues to go unaddressed, increased pension costs will eat up whatever revenue the state brings in.
The state recently adopted legislation to create a commission to examine the basic education funding formula -- similar to a previous commission that looked at special education funding. Some school officials said they are hopeful that could lead to a more fair system.
Tax increases, millage rates
Here's a look at how much school districts in York County are raising taxes for 2014-15 and their new millage rates.
Central York: 2.6 percent; 18.22 mills
Dallastown Area: 0; 22.26 mills
Dover Area: 2.1 percent; 21.93 mills
Eastern York: 2.6 percent; 20.28 mills
Hanover: 2.5 percent; 20.32 mills
Northeastern: 2.8 percent; 25.61 mills
Northern York: 2.6 percent; 15.63 mills
Red Lion: 0; 22.39 mills
South Eastern: 1.5 percent; 21.79 mills
South Western: 2.5 percent; 17.67 mills
Southern York: 2.5 percent; 17.51 mills
Spring Grove: 2.6 percent; 21.04 mills
West Shore: .56 percent increase for York County; 12.59 mills and 2.02 percent for Cumberland County; 9.68 mills
West York: 5.3 percent; 21.77 mills
York City: 0; 33.74 mills
York Suburban: 2.1 percent; 21.47 mills
· York City school board adopts budget with no tax increase
· Pension costs skyrocket in area school districts
· Taxes remain the same at Dallastown Area School District

32 Interesting Facts About Ferdinand Magellan, The First Circumnavigator of The Earth
A list of significant and interesting facts about Ferdinand Magellan.
Undeniably, Ferdinand Magellan is one of the most popular navigators/sailors in the world. This daring Portuguese voyager, who served for the Spanish monarchy, proved to the whole world that the Earth is indeed round. He proved this by reaching the East by sailing west.
Here are some important and interesting facts about Ferdinand Magellan.
1. The expedition led by Magellan was the first to sail all the way around the world proving that the Earth is round.
2. Although Sebastian De Elcano is regarded as the first circumnavigator of the Erath, it was Ferdinand Magellan who first circumnavigated the Earth in two sailings.
3. He attained this firstly, by sailing east to Asia from Spain via Cape of Good Hope in Africa; and secondly by reaching the East from Spain via Atlantic and Pacific Ocean by sailing west.
4. Ferdinand Magellan was originally a Portuguese and was born in Portugal in 1480. His Portuguese name is Fernao Magalhaes.
5. He was 25 years of age when he first went to the sea and joined the Portuguese fleet and served in India, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Victoria replica
6. The land on the East discovered by the West was then known as East Indies.
7. Ferdinand Magellan was a "limp". He incurred this at the age of 33 when he fought and wounded against Morocco in 1513.
8. He was promoted for the wound he incurred but his promotion was disapproved by the king of Portugal.
9. Despite of this, he approached the king and laid his plan for a voyage to the East Indies by sailing west. Magellan's request for a fleet was denied by the king.
10. Enraged with anger, he denounced his Portuguese citizenship and moved to Spain. Although he was called traitor by Portuguese, he never returned to Portugal again.
11. Ferdinand Magellan {English form} changed his Portuguese name to Fernando Magallanes.
12. A friend of his introduced him to the Spanish royalties. He then asked the king of Spain to finance a westbound expedition and the Spanish monarch readily accepted it and even offered Magellan a share in the profits.
13. He was given 5 ships namely; Victoria, Santiago, San Antonio, Trinidad and Concepcion. The Trinidad is the flagship and was piloted by Magellan. The Trinidad is a caravel and the rest are carracks.

In what could be seen as a largely symbolic gesture, Fort Collins-based HiViz Shooting Systems plans to move out of state to protest Colorados new stricter gun legislation.
HiViz Shooting Systems President and CEO Phillip Howe said in a statement the company is talking with officials from a neighboring state about the move.
I make this announcement with mixed emotions, Howe said in the statement. Colorado is a beautiful state with great people, but we cannot in clear conscience support with our taxes a state that has proven through recent legislation a willingness to infringe upon the constitutional rights of our customer base."
HiViz Shooting Systems, 1941 Heath Parkway, manufactures light-gathering sights, recoil pads and accessories for the shooting industry, none of which were affected by the legislation that requires background checks for private and online gun sales and bans ammunition magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
Howe said he tried to convince state officials to proceed cautiously with gun legislation that would impact individual shooters and the shooting industry as a whole. Although the relocation will be expensive and time consuming, Howe said "It is in the best interest of our company and our customers."
The move will take place gradually with corporate headquarters moving first to avoid interruptions of its customer base, Howe said.
HiViz marketing director Jeff Maust declined to comment on the move beyond the statement.
Magpul Industries of Boulder, which manufactures firearms accessories and ammunition magazines has also said it would leave the state if the Legislature passed the magazine bill.

Producer Tom Rice talks with actress Maya Rudolph on the set of 'The Way, Way Back.'
- Filed Under
In fourth grade, Jackson native Tom Rice told his classmates that he wanted to be a film director.
"I was a very creative-minded person growing up in a school that was very sports-centered," he said. "If you didn't play sports you were kind of a fish out of water.
"I tried to fit into the sports scene without playing sports. I was the school mascot. It was a way to fit in and adapt. But I had a family who loved me, an interest in artist endeavors, and I was on my own to find out where I would find that creative satisfaction and find out who I was in the same way Duncan does." ...

The BikeNZ Sprint squad are currently gearing up for the coming 2011-2012 international track season. This season is crucial as it hosts the Oceania Championships and the UCI World Cup circuit which all offer very valuable qualification points for the Olympic Games. All countries must accrue points over two years to earn their right to appear at the Olympics. To date, no country has all the points they need to qualify full teams, so we continue to work at the highest level to secure our spot.
There hasn't been much down time for us since the end of the previous season in March. In April we took part in an Outward Bound course to further enhance the team culture and face adversities usually uncommon to track sprinters. After leaving Outward Bound's Anakiwa base, the squad headed to Cottbus, Germany which was the base for our European phase. The time spent in Europe was both productive and hectic. Some great racing was had in Germany and Russia but crashes marred progress temporarily. Luckily, all the injuries were dealt with in an efficient manner and we now have the team back on track, literally!
The next hurdle on our road to London is the Oceania Championships in Invercargill in November. These are an important event because the continental titles are on offer. Not only do they give you automatic qualification to the World Championships they also add a significant number of points to the nation's Olympic qualification points tally.
A few weeks ago, the entire squad (bar Simon van Velthooven, due to unfortunate circumstances) competed at the Sydney Grand Prix as preparation for the Oceania Championships. At the GP in Sydney the racing was structured around the Olympic programme to allow riders to get a feel for what the Olympic programme is like. It was also a good indication of what our form is like before the season gets underway. The racing went well with all riders showing strong signs of a good season to come, and all of us discovering the areas we need to work on!
With the second half of our Olympic qualification procedures about to get under way, there is great feeling of determination within the team. There is a real hunger amongst us to better our best times and use our process orientated goals and unique methodology to gain a spot in the Olympics. It's about having no regrets on the start line, knowing we have done everything humanly possible to achieve at the highest level at the pinnacle Olympic event

The video-leadership video project is making wonderful progress. With the help of Brian Day, an audio-video specialist for the BLM, I was able to utilize the NIFC studio. We set up the recording equipment for my first interview on Friday January 13th. The day proved to be a good omen as everything went swimmingly, disproving millennia of superstition regarding that particular day of the week and month combination.
I interviewed Sue Husari, the Fire Management Officer for the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service. She imparted a small slice of her knowledge to me, and it really helped me understand what makes a leader in wildland fire management. Additionally, she discussed the role of successful mentoring in career development. A week later, I interviewed Jeff Arnberger, the Fire Management Specialist in the Division of Fire Operations for the BLM, and Jim Cook, recently retired Training Projects Coordinator for the Forest Service. Both of them also touched upon the themes of leadership, mentoring, and career development. I will not go into much detail, as I want to save that part for the final product.
One thing that really strikes me as I interview these leaders is the level of interagency cooperation. Yes, I work at the heart of interagency cooperation here at NIFC, but to hear from people who work at different places around the country and in different agencies, who all know each other and have worked with each other, really drives the point home. Not to mention that it illustrates how America's land management agencies are in many ways working as one, helping to protect our natural and cultural resources in a very far-sighted manner that should make this country proud.
Now, with three interviews under my belt, I have been trying to transfer the videos from my digital video recorder to my work computer. However, I think I am missing a software application because my computer does not recognize the device. Until I find out what is wrong, I can only focus on getting my other three interviewees to come in for a recording. The minimum goal is six interviews which will be uploaded onto a FAM mentoring website; but I would definitely like to see a few more. As this project progresses, I hope to include links to the videos for everyone to see. Stay tuned.

Thursday, August 16, 2012
LOS ANGELES — A closely watched test flight of an experimental aircraft designed to travel up to 3,600 mph ended in disappointment when a part failed, causing the unmanned cruiser to plummet into the Pacific Ocean, the Air Force revealed.
The X-51A WaveRider was launched in the Point Mugu Naval Air Test Range over the Pacific in a key test Tuesday intended to fine-tune its hypersonic scramjet engine.
This is the third time the WaveRider has flown. Not one flight has gone the distance.
The aircraft, built and tested in Southern California, was designed to hit Mach 6, or six times the speed of sound, and fly for five minutes. But that didn't happen. The engine never even roared into action.
About 15 seconds into the flight, a problem was detected in one of the WaveRider's control fins — a relatively small part of the aircraft — and the cruiser was not able to maintain control and was lost.
"It is unfortunate that a problem with this subsystem caused a termination before we could light the scramjet engine," Charlie Brink, program manager for the Air Force Research Laboratory, said in a statement Wednesday.
"All our data showed we had created the right conditions for engine ignition, and we were very hopeful to meet our test objectives."
Engineers thought they were on the right track with the WaveRider program in May 2010 when the Wave-Rider made its first flight. The WaveRider sped west for about 2 minutes, 23 seconds — less than half its scheduled five-minute flight — at 3,500 mph before plunging into the ocean as planned.
But in a June 2011 flight, a lapse in airflow to the jet engine caused a premature shutdown.
In the test Tuesday, a B-52 took off from Edwards Air Force Base with the Wave-Rider attached and flew to 50,000 feet near Point Mugu.
Once there, the B-52 dropped the aircraft and it fell like a bomb for about four seconds before its booster rocket engine ignited and propelled the aircraft.
It was then supposed to separate from the rocket and streak across the sky, powered by the air-breathing hypersonic engine, but the control-fin issue caused it to fail.
The Air Force said that "program officials will now begin the process of working through a rigorous evaluation to determine the exact cause of all factors at play."
One of the four WaveRider aircraft remains. But officials have not decided when — or if — that vehicle will be used.
Aerospace engineers say that developing technology capable of sustaining hypersonic speeds — going five times the speed of sound or more — is crucial to the next generation of missiles, military aircraft, spacecraft and even passenger planes.
But engineers have been trying to sustain hypersonic flight since the 1960s and have had few positive results.
One of the more recent attempts at hypersonic flight was in August 2011 when the Pentagon's research arm, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, carried out a test flight of an arrowhead-shaped unmanned aircraft, dubbed Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2.
It's designed to travel in excess of 20 times the speed of sound. The launch had received worldwide attention and much fanfare. But minutes into the flight, searing heat from high speeds caused portions of the Falcon's skin to peel from the aerostructure, and the flight ended prematurely.
The Pentagon said it has spent as much as $2 billion over the last 10 years on hypersonic technologies and supporting engineering. The Pentagon is funding six major hypersonic technology programs.
Work on the WaveRider was done by Boeing Co.'s research center in Huntington Beach and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne in Canoga Park. The program cost an estimated $140 million, according to Globalsecurity.org, a website for military policy research.
But that number doesn't include classified money and other additional funds, said John Pike, director of Globalsecurity.org. He also noted that the WaveRider program is years behind schedule.
Pike attributes some of the WaveRider's problems to the fact that there aren't wind tunnels that can simulate the conditions in which the aircraft will fly. So the engineers are finding out what's wrong with the plane the old-fashioned way: by flying it.
"They have to go out there and make mistakes and then learn from those mistakes," he said. "Evidently, going Mach 6 is hard to do."
Still the Pentagon wants to prove the concept and will most likely attempt a fourth flight with the last remaining WaveRider, Pike said.
"I'm sure they'll take whatever they think they learned from this flight and have another go-round."

The lineups: Matt Treanor's last day as "starting catcher?"
ANAHEIM, Calif. - C Bengie Molina is expected to join the Rangers Friday when they begin a 10-game homestand leading up to the All-Star break. Expect to see him behind the plate for most of those games.
Manager Ron Washington essentially installed Molina as the Rangers new starting catcher, though he added Treanor would "still get his time."
"[Molina] isn't coming here to be the backup; his role will be expanded," Washington said. "We had an opportunity to get Bengie Molina and upgrade our catching. We were trying to improve ourselves. We weren't 'crying' for help. Matt's still going to get his time. But we had a chance to get a front-line catcher."
Even before Washington announced Molina's role, Treanor, who is starting behind the plate for the 45th time this season, was resigned to seeing his playing time diminish. And he was fine with it.
"I'm just going to continue with the same attitude," said Treanor, who has never started more than 60 games in a season. "Getting an opportunity to play in the post-season is my ultimate goal. With this group of guys, that chance is coming along. I'm just going to let things fall into place. If I do what know how to do and let everybody else do what they know how to do, I I think we can reach that goal. The only thing I'm selfish about is getting a chance to reach the post-season. We've only helped that."
Here are the lineups. LHP C.J. Wilson (6-3, 3.35 ERA) faces off against Los Angeles' RHP Jered Weaver (7-3, 3.01 ERA) as the Rangers try to extend their streak of consecutive series won to nine.

The last time Leo Matzke was mayor, he proposed a budget with no tax increase that maintained all services.
The last time Leo Matzke was mayor, he proposed a budget with no tax increase that maintained all services.
The Democratic mayor's 2012 budget was rejected by the mostly Republican Common Council, which in turn passed a budget with a 3.7 percent tax increase.
That was indicative of his last term as mayor, he said, which is why he's running again — but this time with a Democratic candidate running in each of the city's six wards.
Matzke was mayor for four years before losing re-election to Peter Hedglon in 2007. He won election again in 2009 before losing to Don Hudson in 2011 by 84 votes.
When he lost to the late Hudson, he said, he lost to "a very good man and a worthy opponent."
"I don't feel I got beat by the issues, and the issues are the same," he said.
As mayor, he said he would work to keep taxes from rising any further. Last year, they went up 6 percent. His opponent, acting Mayor Max Smith, has proposed a 1.65 percent tax increase for 2014.
The retired school teacher said he would be more available than Smith, who works a full-time job in Syracuse.
The mayor position earns a salary of $27,000 with no benefits.
Matzke said he would up the city's involvement in the regional Economic Development Council process, through which the city could seek state grant funds to address Hotel Oneida, a downtown eyesore that has stood vacant for years.
He said the city could tackle its many abandoned houses by taking an approach similar to Syracuse, which is "land-banking" vacant homes, with plans to use state grant funds to repair them, and sell them at affordable rates.
"We need to market the city, and you need somebody full time to do it," he said.
Matzke also has plans for The Flats, the low-lying area of the city devastated by the June 28 flood.
There are several houses that will need to be demolished, and the resulting land should be divvied up among the area's homeowners to increase property values, he said.
He also would like to beautify that area and said he would form a neighborhood association to give the residents a voice.
More urgently, he said, the city needs to strengthen the levee along Oneida Creek.
"When it rains hard, some people are automatically fearful, and the only way we can get through that is to make sure that they feel safe in their homes," he said.

Former South African President, Mr. Thabo Mbeki has said that African countries lose about N10 trillion ($50 to $60 billion) yearly through illicit financial flows (IFF) from the continent.
Mbeki made the revelation yesterday while presenting Progress Report of the High-Level Panel on Illicit Financial Flows, at the concluding sessions of the 7th AU-ECA Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance, in Abuja.
According to him, the huge sums did not include capital flight, saying that it came from proceeds of commercial transactions through multi-national companies, criminal activities and corruption.
He said: "In terms of the phenomenon of mis-pricing, the estimates are between 50 and 60 US dollars that the continent looses as illicit financial flows, capital flight is not included.
"In order to understand the impact of this phenomenon on Africa, we decided that we carry out a number of country case studies in Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Liberia, Mozambique, Algeria, Mauritius and South Africa."
The former president is the Chairman of the panel set up by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in 2012, to look into the nature of illicit financial flow from the continent.
Mbeki lamented that the monies that would have been used to provide infrastructure and social amenities for the poor African population were transferred to other countries and left the continent in poverty.
He added that the situation was occasioned by weakened tax regime of some countries in the continent, adding that proper mechanism needed to be in place to check the trend.
Mbeki said the study was to enable the panel draw up a comprehensive report generally on the continent as it was not possible for them to prepare a country-by-country report.
He also said that the panel's findings showed that the main beneficiaries of IFFs from African countries were developed countries and emerging economies, which were Africa's major trading partners.
According to him, illicit financial flow has posed developmental challenges on the continent, in terms of draining hard currency reserve, reduced tax collection, deepening income gap, depleting investment and weakened governance.
Nigeria's Minister of Finance Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala in her contribution said: "There is an African Vioce on this issue. Final report must be clear that first in stopping IFF is by Africans."

"He says, 'Dad, I want to be emancipated,'" Will Smith reveals in an interview with the Sun. "I know if we do this, he can be an emancipated minor, because he really wants to have his own place, like ooh. That's the backlash. On the other side, if kids just want to have command of their lives, I understand." Smith, who is promoting his new film with Jaden, After Earth, adds that he and wife Jada have an interesting approach to parenting. "We generally don't believe in punishment" (or in forcing the kids to do things like clean their room). "From the time Jaden was five or six we would sit him down, and all he has to do is be able to explain why what he did was the right thing for his life," Smith says, adding that there's maybe a little bit of guidance involved: "If he can explain why kicking his sister in the chest was the right thing to do, we can see to it that he understands that it wasn't so smart."

COVINGTON -- The City Council has opted not to pursue a grant to construct a trail system that would be built along the abandoned right of way of a rail line that county and city officials are considering purchasing.
The grant application proposal was one of seven presented by the city's grant writer, Randy C. Conner, Monday night. The council agreed to pursue the other six grants, but the vote was 2-4 against pursuing the grant for the trail project.
City and county officials are considering purchasing about 14.5 miles of the rail line owned by Norfolk Southern and Great Walton railroads running through Covington to Starrsville and Mansfield.
The 100 foot right of way consists of approximately 206 acres. Conner proposed pursuing a grant from the federal Department of Transportation for construction of a portion of a trail system that could be located along the right of way. The grant would require a match of $1,100 per acre by the city, or $226,600. If the city received the grant, but the purchase of rail line did not go through, the city could then reject the grant, Conner said.
Councilwoman Janet Goodman made a motion to pursue the grant, but it was met with silence from the rest of the council.
"You guys don't want to preserve our greenways?" Mayor Kim Carter asked, noting that the project was included in the city's comprehensive plan and other plans and studies.
"You have the option not to take the grant, but you lose out if you don't apply for it," she said. "I'd like to hear some rationale."
When the council remained silent, Conner noted that similar trails have brought revenues into communities and helped with economic development. A trail in Dallas, Texas, of a similar size brings in $2 million in revenue per year, he said.
The trail will also generate jobs, he said, adding that small shops, bed and breakfasts and other businesses are likely to locate along the trail. Conner said connectivity is the new buzz word and without that, the city would be severely handicapped in attracting new businesses.
"The socioeconomic benefits of this project are tremendous and will greatly enhance our ability to improve the quality of life of our residents and attract the types of businesses that will improve our community," Conner said.
Conner said about 7 miles of the trail would be located in the city.
Carter urged the council not to confuse the trail project with the acquisition of the railroad, although that would be necessary for the project to come to fruition.
"There's no assurance we're going to get it. There's no assurance the railroad will be purchased," she said.
Councilman Mike Whatley seconded the motion to pursue the grant. The vote was 2-4 with Councilmen Keith Dalton and Chris Smith and Councilwomen Ocie Franklin and Hawnethia Williams opposed.
"No rationale? No comments?" Carter asked, but those in opposition remained silent.
Following a public meeting in April regarding the purchase of the railroad, city and county officials have mostly been tight-lipped on where plans stand. The Board of Commissioners went into closed session, citing land acquisition, during its recent retreat, to discuss the issue.
In other news, the city opted to pursue the following grants:
* Geiger Street water line project: The project will replace aging water lines along the full length of Geiger Street and its side streets to improve water quality and provide increased fire protection for residents. The city is pursuing a Community Development Block Grant through the state Department of Community Affairs.
* Elizabeth/Dearing streets water line project: This project will replace aging water lines along several streets in the Elizabeth/Dearing street area. The city is pursuing a Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority grant for state revolving funds.
* Corley Street water line project: This project will replace water lines along Corley, Alexander, Sanford, Thelma and Usher streets. The grant is through the Georgia Economic Development Administration.
* City of Covington Water Security Project: The project is designed to protect the water supply from contamination through the city's approximately 1,500 fire hydrants. The purpose is to prevent substances from being placed in the water system intentionally or by accident by inserting a protective device inside each hydrant as opposed to a locking device outside the hydrant. The grant is through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and would require a local match.
* The city is also pursuing grant money allocated by the U.S. Department of Energy to the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority for a program to fund energy upgrades to residences, through an interest-free loan for up to five years. Payments would be added to utility bills with the concept being that the energy savings would reduce the bill by more than the payment amount. Funds would be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and would not be income-driven. GEFA has been allocated $5 million and will be awarding five or six grants. The city's participation will be through Electric Cities of Georgia.
