Oh, Florida: You're the state that keeps on giving, Anybody got a blowgun loaded with Valtrex handy?
Beware of the monkeys!
Hundreds of rare wild monkeys — some carrying herpes — are on the loose in Florida after a tour guide brought the spunky critters to the state long ago.
Wildlife officials said that three pairs of Rhesus monkeys were transported to a park near Ocala in the 1930s by tour operator Colonel Tooey after a "Tarzan" flick sparked a fascination with the creature.
But the breed has since boomed and more than 1,000 of the monkeys now live in the state, wildlife officials say.

The new surface transportation bill gives us a cast instead of a Band-Aid for funding
Posted By Equipment World Staff On July 3, 2012 @ 11:33 am In Construction Blog | No Comments
[1]A two-year bill isn't the answer to the need for a long-term transportation bill, but it's better than short-term extension after short-term extension. Now we have a cast instead of just a Band-Aid to fix the lack of funding.
We were on the ninth extension of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) before the House and Senate on June 29 passed a new two-year $105 billion surface transportation reauthorization bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21). The measure, H.R. 4348, passed the House 373-52, just before the June 30 expiration of the latest extension. The Senate passed the bill 74-19, according to an AASHTO Journal [2] report. The legislation will authorize federal highway and transit investment through Oct. 1, 2014
The latest economic downturn has lasted longer than economists first predicted. (For "Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey" in the construction industry in both graph and downloadable Excel formats, click here [3].) With the transportation construction industry as hard hit as it has been, it was about time the Democrats and Republicans and the House and the Senate stopped bickering to put their differences aside.
We need a transportation bill. There is no getting around this. If we don't fund our infrastructure, it will continue to crumble. If you don't water flowers, they are going to die. If you don't feed your pets, they'll die. If we don't fund our transportation system, it will fail.
As soon as President Obama signs the bill into law, we'll have at least bought the nation more time.
[4]We'll just need to figure out how to feed the system in the long term to keep a great nation great. It pains me to see the "Land of Opportunity" crumbling before us.
I'm glad now we have a chance to strengthen our transportation system and keep the economy growing.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood has similar sentiments. Here is has to say about the passage of the transportation bill.
"This is a good, bipartisan bill that will create jobs, strengthen our transportation system and grow our economy," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in an official press statement after the House and Senate passed the bill. "It builds on our aggressive safety efforts, including our fight against distracted driving and our push to improve transit and motor carrier safety. The bill also provides states and communities with two years of steady funding to build the roads, bridges and transit systems they need. We look forward to working with Congress, states and local communities to put this bill to work quickly and effectively."

Jury selection commences for Apple-Samsung damages retrial
updated 05:04 pm EST, Tue November 12, 2013
California jury to assess fate of $450M in damages
The jury selection process has begun for the retrial covering portions of the damages from last year's $1.05 billion verdict in the Apple-Samsung patent infringement case. Judge Lucy Koh, who initially vacated $450 million of the damages from Apple's landmark victory, is presiding over the proceedings once more. In the new case, the jury will decide a new dollar figure to cover the damages of Samsung's infringement for those products which fall under the purview of Koh's vacated $450 million.
In a rare sign of accord, attorneys for Apple and Samsung agreed that the jury pool should be limited from an initial crowd of 300. According to The Recorder reporter Julia Love, the field has been winnowed down to about 90 potential jurors, and the court is still "standing room only."
Judge Koh, mindful of the potential length of the hearings, has attempted to limit follow-up questions in the selection process, noting that she would like to "select this jury before [she retires]." During the process, lawyers for Samsung have argued that some jurors that have been discussing the case should be dismissed. Attorneys for Apple countered that such a decision would be improper, as it would favor Samsung.
At issue in the case is whether the initial jury -- in handing down the $1.05 billion verdict -- incorrectly calculated the damages due Apple from Samsung's infringement of some Apple patents. In March of this year, Koh ruled that the figures reached for infringement by Samsung's Galaxy Prevail, Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Galaxy SII AT&T, Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, and Transform would necessitate a new trial. Patent law expert Florian Mueller opined at the time that the jury had "set only one damages figure per product, but half a dozen intellectual property rights were found infringed, resulting in a lack of clarity."
Samsung is still required to pay the remaining $600 million in damages that was not vacated by Koh's earlier ruling. This follow-on trial is not limited to the vacated damages, and could even exceed what the previous jury awarded.
Koh will reportedly instruct the jurors in the trial that their "sole job" is to determine the amount of damages that Samsung must pay for the infringing products. Litigation experts have told Bloomberg that there is little chance that Samsung will get off lightly in the retrial. The question in the case, they say, is "whether [the damage awards] will be big or huge."

Okay, just to keep everything straight, I made this to help you guys out:
Alexander is Shane's Biological Father and Shane was born half "creature". His mother was human. Alexander then turned Shane completely "creature".
Shane changed Ty first, then Baker, then Larson, and lastly Delilah. Though keep in mind, these are only the ones who are still alive. Delilah was married to Shane after being changed.
Ty was married to Janie, then was changed by him some years later (or recently to us). Janie is a Detective and is part of the force that often fines Shane's school.
Clara was seventeen when she fell in love with a rich boy named Marcus. At the time, both were human. Clara became pregnant with Delilah, and after she told Marcus he left her. Clara gave up Delilah to be adopted, and Delilah was by two very caring people, Mr. and Mrs. Daniels. Clara was found by Charles some years later, and was his innocence. Charles changed Clara. Clara turned manipulative, and left Charles for Alexander. Alexander believed Clara loved him, but never made a bond.
Clara then returned to collect her daughter, planning to kill Charles. By then Delilah was in the process of being changed.
Delilah was married to Shane Jacobs the next day.
Clara tried to kill Shane (and possibly Delilah too) so Shane retaliated and killed Clara.
Though Alexander loved her, he loved his son more, he is now with Shane.
Charles is heartbroken, even more than when Clara left him, and has declared war. Now Shane's side and Charles' side are both gathering as many people as they can to join them, and there is a war waiting to be fought.
Harold has been killed, and Marcus (who has now been changed, but we do not know by who yet) has joined Charles. Marcus has become known as an asset and Shane is fighting to get them to join their side.
I believe you know the details, this is just to clear things up to this point in the story, or maybe confuse you even more. I hope it helps though. Thanks to all of my readers for their encouragement. I really appreciate the comments. THANK YOU AND I LUVS YOU ALL!!!

ANC blasts 'offensive' EWN cartoonComment on this story
Johannesburg - A cartoon used by Eyewitness News contained racial undertones and insulted voters, the ANC claimed on Thursday.
"We view this in a serious light given the resilience of racism in the South African discourse and the condescending attitude demonstrated by some elements in the media and society," spokesman Zizi Kodwa said in a statement.
"Such attitudes particularly from the media reinforce the view that some sections of the media misuse the freedom of expression to undermine gains made thus far."
The party called the cartoon appalling.
The cartoon, titled "Congress of Clowns. And the clowns who voted them in", was posted on EWN's website, and depicted newly appointed ministers as clowns with big red noses.
On the side was another group of clowns, which were the voters, all in dark shading standing and watching with a description reading "we the poephols".
Kodwa said the African National Congress believed the media needed to counterbalance its freedom with responsibility and regard for the public.
"We expect the media to uphold democratic values and to reinforce responsibility based on ethical conduct," he said.
EWN on Thursday sent out a note saying it had read and heard its listeners' views and passed them on to the cartoonist.
"We at EWN apologise for any unintended offence caused. We at EWN will continue to strive for free speech and editorial independence," it said.

Sanjay Dutt — Madhuri Dixit
They made headlines on screen as well as off screen. Much was written about the alleged affair between Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit in the early 90's — an affair both of them denied from the first moment on until today. Many people wished that they were a jodi in real life because in their reel life the two superstars made a beautiful couple in films like Thanedaar, Saajan and Mahaanta. Even when they played antagonists like in Khalnayak or Sahibaan, there always was that special magic between them which could never be ignored. Working with one of the best dancers in Hindi Cinema even inspired Sanjay to improve his dancing skills — just watch the legendary 'Tamma Tamma Loge' from Thanedaar. And 'Mera Dil Phi Kitna Pagal Hai' from Saajan remains one of the most touching love duets ever.

Interesting talk about software management tools. The most important thing of the talk for me was that you do not have to implement these kinda software's, even google docs can work if that is the best solution for you and your team, covered a lot of aspects and not just hightlighted programs, showed us subversion, some tools etc. etc.
The only thing I disliked is that the author seemed to be biased a lot towards GIT.

I thought e-mail was supposed to do that! Or was it .pdf files? Word docs? Then along came Google Docs & Spreadseets. Ah ha! That's it; getting much warmer, because they're web-based and therefore accessible from any computing device with an Internet connection.
Well, they all have (and there are many, many other digital solutions that I could name. So please don't flame me in comments because I didn't mention your favorite) eroded the need for paper.
SanDisk CEO, Eli Harari, said a little something in his company's earnings call last week that got my attention. Harari says its the flash drive that is really replacing paper.
Of course, that is something he would say given SanDisk makes flash drives. But, is he right or is that just conference call smoke-blowing?
I believe he makes a point and here's the difference. Paper (aside from the chiseled or painted rock) has got to be the world's oldest data storage device. It takes one storage format to replace another.
E-mail is not a storage tool (although most of us use it as one anyway). E-mail is a tool to create data. So are software applications.
Servers, despite being the mules of data storage, are removed and out of the hands of the user.
Portable data storage, like flash drives, are really the natural descendent of paper (and before that it's great-grandaddy papyrus).
I'm not sure if this is what Harari was considering when he made his remark.
I'm guessing the flash drive will not last nearly as long as paper has, either.

Nope, You're Not Dreaming: Isabel Marant For H&M Is HAPPENING
Says Marant, "I am flattered by this collaboration. H&M works with the best designers, and this invitation is an exciting honor. I aim at creating something real – something women want to wear in their everyday lives – with a certain carefree style. I think this is very Parisian: You dress up, but don't pay too much attention to it, and you still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be combined following one's own instincts, and my take on fashion is all about personality."
You've said all the magic words, lady! The collection drops in 250 stores on November 14, and will feature apparel and accessories for women and teens (whatever that means)…as well as her first-ever foray into menswear. Watch the video below if you can stomach all the excitement.

Elvis Andrus works one-on-one with hitting instructor Scott Coolbaugh
ARLINGTON – SS Elvis Andrus spent 30 minutes working with hitting instructor Scott Coolbaugh on the field Tuesday before batting practice. As a result, he did not take his normal turn in batting practice.
Andrus began the day hitting .185 (5-for-27) over the last two weeks, during which Andrus missed four starts with a sprained wrist he suffered diving head-first into second base. Both Andrus and Coolbaugh said the shortstop has fallen into something of a passive approach at the plate. It's a problem he encountered some last year, when he was a little too patient at times as a leadoff hitter. This year, with the Rangers often asking him to move runners from the No. 2 spot, he has tried to "guide" the ball a little too often.
"We still want him to stay with his opposite-field approach, but we want to do it aggressively when there is a chance," Coolbaugh said. "That's his forte. But sometimes you have to trick the mind a little to get it back there."
Typical of the change-on-the-fly the Rangers made to their coaching staff on June 8 when Thad Bosley was replaced by Coolbaugh, it's the first time Coolbaugh has had a chance to work with Andrus one-on-one on the field.
Coolbaugh said he spent the first 10 days on the job simply observing and conversing with players. In the last two weeks, the Rangers have started making some changes to their batting practice routine. Coolbaugh has returned to shouting out situational hitting instructions during the early part of each hitter's round. That's something both Rudy Jaramillo and Clint Hurdle did.
"I've just been trying to emphasize the team concept," Coolbaugh said. "I feel like the communication has been there. We are talking about different things as a team. There is definitely a two-way street. I think they know I'm here to help. There is no agenda."

|Appreance and functionality is great, but installation was not that easy until we quit using the provided instructions. Very poorly written and the pictures/diagrams were worse, probably due to being copied so many times. The only complaint I have found with the product itself is the bars are very noisy. Yep noisy! They sound like metal on metal scratching all the time so I am going to attempt to insert some nylon washers between the brackets and truck frame wall to see if it makes a difference.

|I was looking for nerf bars for my 2005 2500HD DURA MAX Chevy 4x4 on line when I came across the RealTruck.com web site. I started looking at the nerf bars they had on the site. I found the Go Rhino Dominator 111 nerf bars the web page said easy at home Installation no drilling needed, when they were delivered I opened the box to look at how to install them, it said I had to drill 24 holes that's 12 per side to put them on. So I called realtruck.com to ask them about it, they called go rhino and found out the info on the site was wrong. They were sorry for mistake and offered to find a different set of nerf bars that you did not have to drill holes to install them. But I liked the style of the dominator 111 so I kept them and had them installed at a price. So check with them before you order to make sure that it is was it is.

Not everyone is a fan of test-driven development.
Writing unit tests for your code can be a laborious task, and it has no immediate benefit to your customers. So why waste any time writing the tests, right?
This past week, a colleague of mine summed up the problem pretty well:
He's not following test-driven development. Instead, his tests come in as an afterthought. Actually, most of us code this way.
I've finished writing the code for that feature. Now I just need to take some time to sit down and write some unit tests for it.
We write a chunk of code to perform a task. Then a customer asks for a new feature, so we write some more code. Then a new hire comes in to the company demanding we take some time to go back and document our existing code base with unit tests.
It's not fun. It's not glamorous. It feels like a waste of time.
But I still feel it's the way things should be done. [Read more…]

Recently, Best Food Facts received a question from a reader asking for advice on a good diet for gout. WebMD.com defines gout as a kind of arthritis. It can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe. These attacks can happen over and over unless gout is treated. Over time, they can harm your joints, tendons, and other tissues. Gout is most common in men.

Does cooking grass-fed meat destroy fatty acids?
Many of us see grass-fed and grain-fed labels when shopping for beef. We've looked at the differences between grass-fed and grain-fed, and asked experts what's more healthy, but recently we received another question about the topic from one of our readers.
What type of foods should be eaten as part of a healthy diet and to help reduce weight?
Many of us want to lose weight - the great news is that there are certain types of food that can help us get there! Brenda Roche Wolford, M.S., R.D. - Nutrition, Family & Consumer Sciences Advisor at the University of California explains.
Have you seen photos on Facebook or Twitter showing fast food that doesn't spoil?
How about the YouTube video showing a cheeseburger that's four years old?
We reached out to Dr. Sean O'Keefe, a food science professor at Virginia Tech, and asked him why fast food doesn't spoil.
Direct from health expert Joy Bauer, via Twitter (@JoyBauer) - a fun video that discusses the pros and cons of using Agave as an alternative sweetener and answers the question, "Is agave healthier than sugar?"
When we asked Dr. Melinda Sothern about new studies linking fatty foods to brain damage, she indicated there is a lot of truth to these studies. She said adults and children alike should be aware of what this means, and provided best practices (beyond avoiding fatty foods) to avoid unwanted changes to the brain.
Should sugar be regulated?
As you make efforts to use up those holiday leftovers and prepare dishes like this low-fat turkey and veggie bake
In the U.S., we are privileged to have so many food choices. When buying grocerries, we can choose from products labeled as natural, organic and free-range, among others. But what do all of those labels really mean? Best Food Facts searched out definitions for a few labels from the USDA, which regulates meat, poultry and processed egg products. For simplification, we have bolded the main takeaways in the definitions, but have kept the full definition available in case you would like more specific information.
A Best Food Facts website reader tells us she NEVER eats food from cans (except beans and stewed tomatoes), because she believes "anything canned or processed is bad for you... and besides, canned food tastes horrible." An expert says there's not a single best choice, but rather, multiple options for a healthy diet year round.
It seems everywhere you turn these days, there is a new magic pill, a revolutionary diet, something that can forever shrink your waistline. Claims of simply popping a pill, never needing to count calories and never feeling hungry abound. We would love for these claims to be true, and millions of dollars are spent every year in hopes that they are.

Utah officials say it will cost approximately $2 million to hire outside counsel to fight a federal judge's ruling that struck down the state's voter-approved constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Attorney General Sean Reyes, who was named Monday to replace his embattled predecessor John Swallow, met with the state House GOP leadership on Friday to lay out his case for bringing in outside legal help.
Reyes said he wants the additional attorneys to seek a stay from the U.S. Supreme Court of U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby's Dec. 20 ruling and to bolster the state's appeal to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"We need the best we can get," House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, told KSL-TV. "He (Reyes) is coming into this, frankly, in the middle."
Reyes is set to be sworn into office on Monday.
After hearing the projected cost, Lockhart said the House Republican majority leadership "felt comfortable telling him, 'Move forward with what you think is in the best interest of the state.'"
She said she has learned from other lawmakers that their constituents are willing to defend the constitutional amendment in court even if it means spending more money.
"To go through the court process on an issue that, on a 2-to-1 vote, the people of our state felt was important to have in our constitution, I think is of value," the speaker told KSL.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, said he would likely be willing to appropriate the funds for outside counsel.
"This is a big deal for the Legislature and for Utah," he said.
Sen. John Valentine, R-Orem, said additional attorneys were needed.
"We should be paying for the best and the brightest," he said. "This is a case that is not only a historic precedent, but it's one that really goes to the core of what states' rights is all about."
But Senate Minority Leader Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, said outside attorneys are unnecessary.
"I think it's a ridiculous way to go. I don't think we're going to win," Davis said. "I believe we have appropriated the money for the attorney general's office for good attorneys to be able to argue any issue."
Ryan Bruckman, spokesman for the attorney general's office, said negotiations were underway to hire lawyers and no details were available, including their names.

Pensions crisis looms as funds lose €18bn in value (Irish Independent)
A Major pensions crisis is looming after more than €18bn was wiped off the value of pension funds in the last year.
The massive losses -- one-fifth of the total value of the funds -- sparked fears that there will be wholesale closures of company pension funds, known as defined-benefit schemes, by employers.
And those who have personal pensions were told they will need to radically increase their contributions if they are to have an adequate income when they give up work.
Pension managers and officials from the Department of Social and Family Affairs are to hold an emergency meeting today to discuss the issue.
The department has responsibility for pensions.
The managers are appealing for the strict rules on pension funds to be relaxed.
Otherwise, there will be a mass closure of company pension schemes because stock market losses have pushed hundreds of them into huge deficits, they warned.
There was no easing up of the pressure on funds as the stock market mayhem continued yesterday, reversing many of the gains made last Friday when the markets surged.
The Irish Stock Market lost 5.6pc of its value yesterday, leaving its shares valued at €42bn less than they were worth at the start of the year.
The fall came as US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson addressed the US Congress on the shape of a $700bn proposed rescue plan for US banking sector.
Shares in London, Europe and the US suffered as Mr Bernanke told Congress that failure to enact a plan to rid banks of bad assets would threaten world markets and the US economy.
The continued sharp falls in share prices have hit Irish pension fund values hard.
The average company pension scheme has around 60pc of its funds invested in Irish and other shares, while personal pension or defined-contribution schemes have around three-quarters of their assets in shares.
The bloodbath on stock markets has seen overall Irish pension funds shed €16bn in value so far this year.
Since September last year, the losses racked up are a staggering €18.1bn, according to calculations by Fiona Daly of Rubicon Investment Management.
She explained that strict rules on how pensions are funded means that stock-market losses have pushed huge numbers of company pension schemes into deficit.
This was likely to force employers to shut more company schemes.
Already in the past few years there has been a sharp increase in the number of company schemes closed to new members, or just closed down.
And the Irish Association of Pension Fund Managers (IAPF) said it was meeting government officials today to push for a relaxation of pension fund rules.
Jerry Moriarty, of the IAPF, said he expected employers with company pension schemes to come under huge pressure to shut them down.
"The losses for pension funds bring home the high levels of risk that lie with the employers," Mr Moriarty said.
The IAPF has already written to Social and Family Affairs Minister Mary Hanafin appealing for pension fund rules to be changed.
And investment consultant Noel Collins of Mercer warned those contributing to personal pensions, or defined-contribution schemes, to put more money into their pensions to counteract the sharp losses.
Yesterday was a black day on the Irish Stock Market.
Dublin bank shares suffered from the start of business when a report in the 'Wall Street Journal' suggested that the huge US bailout of banks would not help European banks.

EPA Plans Meeting on Third Contaminant Candidate List
Agency will gain input on contaminants and process for regulatory determination
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a public stakeholder meeting on June 16 from 1 to 5 p.m. in Washington, D.C., to discuss the agency's regulatory determinations for the third Contaminant Candidate List or CCL3. EPA is currently in the preliminary process of making decisions about whether to regulate any of the unregulated contaminants on the third Contaminant Candidate List as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and obtain input on EPA's process for regulatory determination along with the contaminants and the technical information that the agency is considering. The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act amendments require EPA to determine every five years whether to regulate at least five contaminants from the current CCL with a national primary drinking water regulation. On Oct. 8, 2009, EPA published CCL 3 containing 116 unregulated contaminants.
Individuals planning to attend the Stakeholder Meeting must register for the meeting by contacting Melissa Simic at 2025647722 or [email protected] no later than June 8. There is no charge for attending the meeting, but seats are limited. Participants will be notified of the specific meeting room upon confirmation of registration. Attendees will be required to pass through security checks at the front desk and obtain a visitor's badge.

National Sport: Subway Fare-DodgingSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
France: A new record in fare-dodging - Fare-dodging is France's new national sport. Some fare-dodgers have even banded together to create a kind of insurance fund to cover the fines if they're caught. Many in France have lax attitudes toward buying tickets for public transport. There's even a famous photo of former president Jacques Chirac jumping over a subway turnstile many years ago. Meanwhile, some cash-strapped university students are paying seven euros each month into a fund that will cover fines rather than shell out for a subway pass. Fare-dodging is estimated to cost France's state-owned railway system around 300 million euros a year; for Paris's public transport system, it's a record 100 million. Bulgaria: A wall to ward off refugees - Bulgaria has announced plans to build a thirty-kilometer-long wall along the border to Turkey in order to stem the influx of Syrian refugees. Belgrade says the wall will force the refugees to enter the country through the border checkpoint at Svilengrad, where they will be officially registered. The wall is to be built near Elhovo, where most of the Syrian refugees are entering Bulgaria illegally. It's estimated the wall will cost 2.5 million euros. Several thousand asylum-seekers from Syria are already living in camps in Bulgaria under extremely poor conditions. Romania: Reviving the art of wine-making - Winemaking is a tradition that goes back thousands years in Romania. At various times in the past, up to 200,000 hectares of land in the region have been devoted to grape-growing. Today, pioneering young vintners in places like the Tarnava valley of Transylvania are trying to revive that tradition. European Union membership has been a boon for Romanian vintners. It's opened new markets and brought capital into the area. But local winemakers still face many obstacles, among them local bureaucrats, who often demand bribes in exchange for approving export licenses and awarding EU support and subsidies.

Ozark's two mayoral candidates stood less than 100 feet apart for much of Election Day. Incumbent Shane Nelson and challenger Elise Crain donned coats and gloves and stood between the parking and the door of First Baptist Church in order to greet voters as they walked inside to the polling place.
Crain was joined by some supporters with campaign signs and T-shirts. Both candidates planned to defrost at private watch parties once voting ended. Nelson set up a canopy tent in front of the church and declared he was "in it to win it."

Rockford's KC Zenner deflects a pass meant for Clarkston's Nathan Yeloushan during the second quarter Saturday at Clarkston. Rockford next faces Novi Detroit Catholic Central. / KIRTHMON F. DOZIER/Detroit Free Press
It was Jan. 24 that KC Zenner underwent a 3-hour knee surgery, which came two weeks after his 6-hour knee surgery, and was told he could expect a 12-month recovery.
"I said, we'll see what happens," Zenner said.
He made it back in seventh months, but in Week 6, Rockford's senior safety made a tackle and suffered an injured thumb.
"It got worse and worse, and I kept playing through it," he said. "And then in Week 9 vs. Grand Haven I was doing the same thing -- blitzed off the edge and hit a kid -- and the whole hand just swelled up. The whole thing was just a big ball."
Zenner wears an incredibly padded splint on his right hand. The padding makes his right hand look like a club and makes tackling even more difficult.
But there is one benefit.
"It adds about 2 inches onto my hand," Zenner said.
With Rockford leading, 13-0, late in the second quarter Saturday, Zenner followed a Clarkston receiver into the end zone.
"I read his eyes, and when his hands flashed I looked back and saw the ball and knocked it away," he said.
And how much of his right hand did he get on the ball.
"About 2 inches," he said with a smile. "If I didn't have it on, I wouldn't have got it," he said of the club.
If Rockford didn't have Zenner, it would not have defeated Clarkston, 25-14, in a Division 1 regional final at Clarkston.
The win set up next Saturday's semifinal between Rockford and Novi Detroit Catholic Central. Last year, CC beat Rockford, 23-20, in overtime in the semifinal in Battle Creek.
Saturday's game was a terrific defensive battle by a Rockford team that lives and dies with defense.
Junior linebacker Brent Showers had the hit of the year early in the first quarter when he leveled quarterback D.J. Zezula for a 3-yard loss to set the tempo for the game.
"He'll remember who hit him," said Rockford coach Ralph Munger. "He plays like that every game -- every down -- that's just the way he is."
The Rockford defense is relentless, which is a good description of Zenner, even though he cradled his hand each time he made a tackle, which he did with great regularity against Clarkston (11-1).
"It doesn't feel good," he said. "But I'm used to it by now."
Zenner never considered sitting out a game. He wasn't raised in the Rockford football family that way.
"We have such a great community, all the parents and the players were coming and visiting me every day in the hospital," he said. "I don't want to let the team or the community down."
Clarkston is the closest thing to a Rockford that we have on the east side of the state -- a community that revolves around its school.
The Wolves had two field-goal attempts hit the uprights and miss, and they had a dramatic effect on the game.
"You can't give away scoring opportunities down there in a game like this," said coach Kurt Richardson. "It makes your whole philosophy at the end totally different."
Clarkston has an excellent running game, but Ian Eriksen managed just 109 yards on 23 carries.
Zenner was a huge part of the Rockford (10-2) defensive effort, and so was the club on his right hand. But he isn't sure what's wrong with the hand.
"It's broken or sprained or torn or something," he said.
Zenner will wait until the season is finished before he has his hand examined, because he doesn't want anyone telling him he has to sit out.
"It can't get any worse," he said. "There's nothing better than Rockford football."
There's nothing better than KC Zenner ... and his club.

Good hoody, but not my favorite

- Fit:True to size
Got the China Blue which is much "bluer" than the picture shows. That's not a problem because I still do like the color, just took me by surprise.
Overall quality of the sweatshirt is great. Quality fabric, fits well. Personally, it's not my favorite style and design by North Face. The logo on the hood is a bit much for me and I'm not sure I like the look of the stitching.
I'm 5'11, 160 and a Large fit pretty well.

The pics on our site don't show the sleeves very well. I was surprised when I put it on for the first time to see that the stitching on the sleeves is inside out. I'm not a fan of that look.

Nice hoodie

I got this hoodie and I wear it all the time. It keeps me nice and warm even when it is cold outside and it is very soft on the inside.
Best Hoodie ever!

I have owned 2 of these in black for over a year and wear them to the gym almost everyday. After being washed over 100 times, the have barely shrunk, retained their color, and the zipper track hasn't become contorted (I had this happen with the TNF Logo Hoodie, it's cheaper, go figure). Still super comfortable, warm, and just all around awesome.
This is pricey, but you get what you pay for. There is no better hoodie IN THE UNIVERSE!

I just got my Rearview today and I can't take it off! But who can blame me we are in the middle of a Utah blizzard, three inches at my house in fifteen minutes!!! Its super warm and seems to be the perfect day to day hoodie. The biggest thing you'll notice when you take it out of the box is the big embroidered TNF logo on the hood. It looks good when the hood is down but to be honest the verdict is still out whether or not if it looks good when its up... As for me I'm a bold person, so I like it! I put some pics up of it so you can judge it for yourself. But all I know is I'll probably fall asleep in it tonight cause who doesn't love a new hoodie!

Delivering Comprehensive, Complex Brain Care
Patients with brain conditions receive the latest treatment options available. And the brain care team keeps up-to-date with new therapies in this rapidly changing medical field.
The team relies on the expertise of a diverse group of experts and the resources of many of the hospital's services to help care for patients. No two patients are exactly alike and treatment options vary, depending on each patient's medical condition, diagnosis and needs.
Neuro-oncology: Patients with brain cancer will be treated by oncologists who develop individual care plans for patients with a malignant brain tumor diagnosis. Plans may include traditional surgery, stereotactic surgery, radiation therapy, and a chemotherapy protocol, alone or in combination.
Mapping the Brain: Neuroradiologists "map" the brain using sophisticated imaging tools -including a new bi-plane angiography system - to precisely locate structural or vascular abnormalities before surgery. Neurosurgeons use this brain mapping to navigate during surgery, reducing damage to surrounding brain tissue.
Microsurgical Techniques: Advanced surgical microscopes help neurosurgeons perform targeted procedures with fewer complications, including serious nerve damage.
Minimally Invasive Surgery: When brain surgery is required, Holy Cross Hospital neurosurgeons strive to use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible. During these procedures, the surgeon makes several small incisions to reach the target area, or they may use an existing opening, such as the nose, to perform surgery.
Radiation Treatment: The Holy Cross Hospital Radiation Treatment Center offers the latest radiation therapy services, which deliver increasingly effective doses of radiation to precisely mapped areas to treat cancer, including brain cancer. External beam therapy is a method for delivering a beam of high-energy X-rays to the location of the patient's tumor. Stereotactic surgery, also called Novalis, or shaped beam surgery, is another radiation treatment option for some patients. It is delivered on an outpatient basis and uses three-dimensional imaging tools to locate structures, such as brain tumors, and deliver targeted high-dose radiation to the exact shape of the tumor, sparing healthy nearby tissue.
Intensive Care: The Neuro Critical Care Unit staff closely monitors patients with brain conditions that are life-threatening, as well as those who have neurosurgery.
Life after Treatment: The team's physical medicine and rehabilitation physician evaluates patients and develops therapy plans to restore patients' functional abilities, and help patients regain their independence.

On behalf of JRS I would like to express our deep sadness that Paul cannot be anymore among us. At the same time we are very grateful for the encouragement he gave Jesuit Commons and JRS to launch a project for higher education at the margins in refugee camps. We try to carry on the great spirit and idea of Paul and to bring the best of the Universities of the Society of Jesus to the poor and people at the margins, such as refugees. It was this great idea he supported and presented to all 180 Institutions of Higher Education in Mexico at the meeting. In his honor and encouraged by his example we carry on the mission. May Paul accompany it from a higher position. Peter Balleis SJ, JRS International Director

Family of murdered woman wants answers
PORTLAND, Ore. – Loved ones of a 33-year-old woman found murdered Christmas Day are desperately looking for answers and are hoping someone can find the her killer.
The family held a private memorial service for Jaime Larson Thursday in Southeast Portland.
Larson's older brother, Justin, said afterward his sister had an unforgettable smile and was a good person. He said if you met her you simply wouldn't forget her.
Larson's body was found in her Southwest Portland apartment on Christmas night. It's been more than a week and police still haven't said how she was killed. They also haven't arrested anyone or named any suspects.
Sources told KATU News she was found on Christmas Day but think she may have been killed a day or so before.
Justin Larson said any information the public may have about the case could help find the killer.
"As long as the person who murdered my sister is still out there, the community is not safe," he said. "So please help us find the person who took our daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt, cousin and friend from those who loved her."
Sources also add that they're fairly certain this was not a random killing and that the public isn't at risk. They say they're looking at several angles, including people who she'd been in contact with.
The family said that everyone's support has been heartfelt and greatly appreciated. They said Jaime was a student, and the family is doing what they can to hold up during this difficult time, especially without anyone being held accountable for their loss.
They are asking anyone with information to call Portland police Detective Molly Daul at (503) 823-0991 or via email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I Have A New Favorite Haunt (And You Can Too!)
October has made its way back to us, just as it always has around this time of year. You can tell it's arrived when the local Dollar Stores you barely noticed before look as if they've been possessed by the spirit of Halloween itself — or whatever the commercial equivalent of that might be.
Enduring the hilariously bad music that fills every goddamn one of these stores despite having absolutely nothing to do with the holiday that summoned them is as much of a tradition as groaning at the cheesy posters that plaster their windows. You know, the ones that show goofy-looking people who are clearly only half-committed to pretending to be okay with the fact that they're a full-grown adult dressed like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
We live in a world where the frightening majority of haunted attractions will suck for everyone over the age of six and that's why finding a great one feels like you've just been given a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in a neighborhood where everyone exclusively hands out Necco wafers.
Anyone can take a stranger's money before dragging them into a dark room to make them scream. It takes more than a superficial understanding of what's scary to make something special, and that's exactly what the folks behind Hysteria at Connor's Farm have achieved with their sprawling rural tribute to the best of the major holidays — that qualifier is there now that I've discovered Bolas de Fuego, in which the citizens of El Salvador celebrate volcanoes by hurling balls of fire into the sky.
Located just north of Danvers, Massachusetts, Connor's Farm is another of those increasingly common "scream parks" where multiple Halloween-themed attractions accumulate in one place in order to reap maximum monetary gain from our shattered psyches.
Unlike the vast majority of the scream parks I've visited, Connor's Farm offers more variety in their attractions. I got there at 9pm, leaving just enough time to conquer the flashlight maze and haunted farm. Skipping the zombie paintball was a tough decision, but it's a sacrifice I had to make so that I could become who I was always meant to be.
For thirty glorious minutes, I was the indigenous man-fiend of the Connor's corn maze.
The maze is meant to be more of a family affair, but I was far too busy hunting innocent maze-dwellers like a famished Velociraptor to care. It's not lit so as to encourage you to navigate its strategically paved paths with the flashlight you're given at its entrance. I shed those societal guidelines the moment I became the new me, eschewing lighted paths for darkness and a predator's instinct.
Sure, I took a few cobs of corn to the face. Am I okay with that? Fuck yeah I am. Next question?
Also, the maze itself is themed, apparently, though I didn't learn that until after the fact.
Now about that haunted farm. For starters, as haunt aficionados may already be aware, the average haunt tends to house roughly 15 minutes of scares. Connor's Farm doubles that.
The last thing I'd want to do is go into specifics, as that would ruin the surprise. However, I will say that this haunt may have a set or two that will look familiar if you've seen any of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre flicks or that one good Silent Hill movie.
That's not to say Connor's Farm rips its sets right out of the movies, it's more subtle than that.
Continuing that comparison to movies is the general quality of the sets, several of which I could easily picture recreated on a Hollywood sound stage. They're aided by the genuine 17th century cemetery and swamp that border the farm, as well as the general feeling of unease that settles in if you've spent far too much of your life in loud, busy cities. There's something sinister about corn stalks, like every one of them is hiding a secret. Corn secrets.
Growing up in Kansas City, MO, I was always a short drive from some of the best haunts in the country. I spent a not-insignificant portion of my childhood inside The Beast's disorienting rooms and roaming the five-stories that make up the now 40 year-old behemoth that is The Edge of Hell.
I didn't know it at the time, but these dazzling haunts were ruining me. The bar had been raised high enough that could only be reached by a dozen or so haunts scattered all across the country. So when I say I found a stellar haunted house in a sea of pumpkins and corn bathed in spooky lighting and Rob Zombie tunes, you know I'm saying that with a very serious look on my face.
Seriously, if you live anywhere near Danvers, Massachusetts, make the trip. It'll be worth it.

'Handjob Cabin' Trailer Will Rub You The Right Way
"She won't use lotion! She wants us to suffer!"
Holy. Fucking. Shit. This faux trailer for the supernatural horror film Handjob Cabin is goddamn hilarious! Obviously, it has to be stated from the beginning that this isn't a real movie nor is it going to be. But that doesn't stop it from being amazing.
The crew over at Nice Piece have whipped up this trailer about a ghost whose method of attack is, well…a rough handjob. No, I'm not kidding. Written, edited, and directed by Bennet Silverman, the trailer stars Owen Benjamin, Jenna Willis, and Nicole Shipley.
I have to say, keeping it as a trailer is a brilliant move. If this were to become a real movie, the gag would get old before the movie was even halfway finished. Rather, by making it a 3 minute trailer, you can put one joke after another and keep the humor fresh.
Watch it below and comment your favorite quote from the trailer!
"The X-Files" Season 10 Poster Brings Everything Full Circle
The upcoming limited series event that is the 10th season of "The X-Files" has received an official poster that appeared at MIPCOM and its tagline is a riff on the familiar slogan we've heard since the beginning of the show back in 1993, stating "The Truth is Still Out There". The rest of the poster shows an "X" created by the light of the moon and some kind of UFO. The light hovers above David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. A lo-res image of the poster can be seen below, courtesy of Twitter.
The return of "The X-Files" comes thirteen years after the original series run and brings us six brand new episodes from creator/executive producer Chris Carter, mixing stand-alone episodes and those that further the original show's mythology. Stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are re-inhabiting their roles as FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Mitch Pileggi also returns as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner.
Three of the episodes are written and directed by Chris Carter, with the remaining new episodes written and directed by original series veterans Glen Morgan, Darin Morgan and James Wong.
In the opening episode, Mulder and Scully take on a case of a possible alien abductee. The all-new episodes will feature appearances by guest stars, including Joel McHale ("Community"), Robbie Amell ("The Flash"), Lauren Ambrose ("Dig," "Six Feet Under"), Annabeth Gish ("The Bridge"), Annet Mahendru ("The Americans"), Rhys Darby ("Flight of the Conchords"), Kumail Nanjiani ("Silicon Valley") and William B. Davis, who reprises his role as "Cigarette Smoking Man."
"The X-Files" returns on Sunday, January 24th, 2016 at 10pm EST and once again the following night at 8pm EST.
Alamo Drafthouse Getting Limited Edition "Crimson Peak Ale"
Alamo Drafthouse has teamed up with Firestone Walker to create the "Crimson Peak Ale", which is named after the upcoming Guillermo del Toro gothic horror romance film. The limited-batch brew is available in stores and on taps this month, including all Alamo Drafthouse locations.
Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse founder, explains, "Guillermo del Toro is one of the most imaginative filmmakers working today, and the release of the gothic romance Crimson Peak is definitely cause for celebration." He excitedly continues, "Firestone Walker is one of the best breweries in the nation. So we jumped at the chance to collaborate on a beer to mark this occasion with something special."
Direct from the official press release:
Perfect for the early fall season, "Crimson Peak" is a light-bodied ale that derives its refreshingly tart taste and striking red color from an unusual ingredient: hibiscus flowers. In fact, the ale incorporates massive amounts of them-more than 200 pounds.
In addition to the brew, Alamo collaborated with Mondo to create a beautiful pint glass that features original artwork by Guy Davis. Below is a photo of the glass and ale from our own Trace Thurman, who caught a screening of the film at Fantastic Fest (review coming soon).

Guillermo del Toro Wanted to Create Panic with 'Silent Hills' (Interview)
People are still wondering why Konami cancelled the insanely hyped survival horror game Silent Hills, which would have been worked on by Hideo Kojima, Junji Ito, Guillermo del Toro, and Norman Reedus. It seemed like the ultimate team that would've resulted in the ultimate game, one that would set a precedent for all other survival horror games to come.
Alas, as we know, it wasn't meant to be. But that doesn't mean we don't want some answers. And that's why our own Thomas Alexander asked del Toro about what the experience of working on Silent Hills was like, to which he was explained:
It was curious.
We had a great experience and had great story sessions with hundreds upon hundreds of designs. Some of the stuff that we were designing for Silent Hills I've seen in games that came after, like 'The Last of Us', which makes me think we were not wrong, we were going in the right direction.
The thing with Kojima and 'Silent Hills' is that I thought we would do a really remarkable game and really go for the jugular.
We were hoping to actually create some sort of panic with some of the devices we were talking about and it is really a shame that it's not happening. When you ask about how things operate, that makes no fucking sense at all that that game is not happening.
Makes no fucking sense at all. That's the randomness that I was talking about.
I'm not sure if they mean "devices" as in actual physical objects that would interact with the player or specific game mechanics that haven't been done before. Either way, it sounds fascinating and I would've loved to have seen what it would've been like.
Alexander's full interview with del Toro will be going up on our site tomorrow afternoon.

New bye-law to stop motorists parking on grass verges to be piloted in Waltham
Posted: March 14, 2013|
A NEW bye-law will see motorists that park on grass verges fined up to £500.
The village of Waltham is one of the first to pilot the new scheme which will come into effect from Monday.
New signs explaining the changes will be placed at the entrances and exits of the village.
According to Waltham Parish Council, motorists could be charged a maximum of £500 but for first time offenders the amount is expected to be a lot lower.
Related content
Council chairman Martin Archer said: "We have been bringing this issue up for a number of years now.
"There used to be a bye-law in place which stopped people parking on the verges but it was never transferred when North East Lincolnshire Council was created.
"The signs have been ordered and we are expecting them on Monday.
"Once they are in place the bye-law will come into effect.
"We are also proposing that warning letters are sent out to residents to let them know about the changes."
It is hoped that the restrictions will help improve the image of the village as well as slow traffic down and give pedestrians easier access to pavements and verges.
Resident Ivor Appleton of Danesfield Avenue, Waltham, added: "Parking on the grass verges is a big issue in Waltham.
"My avenue looks like a ploughed field most of the time."
Any money that comes from the fixed penalty notices will go to North East Lincolnshire Council who will be enforcing the byelaw.
Head of development, Jason Longhurst, said: "Motorists ignoring the restrictions will first be given advice and warnings so they are fully aware of where they can and cannot park.
"Full enforcement will then follow.
"The fines issued are in line with fines issued for parking on yellow lines and all monies received are dealt with through our parking services.
"Other town and parish councils are keen to see the introduction of similar restrictions and are waiting to see how the trials go in Immingham, New Waltham and Waltham before formally making a request."
Other trial areas will include Immingham and New Waltham.
Humberside Police, although not directly involved, has supported the scheme.

How Yoga Helped Me Learn to Love My Body Again
by Carly Sachs, guest blogger
I remember shyly asking my classmates to take off their shoes, the school linoleum cold on our feet as we teetered and crashed into our desks and each other. The assignment for Ms. Rotar's seventh-grade English class was to give a how-to speech. I had decided I wanted to teach my class to do yoga, despite the fact that I had never actually done yoga. So armed with my books from the public library, I taught my fellow students how to do Tree pose, Vrksasana.
Why I was so determined to do yoga still confounds me. I'd heard about yoga for the first time in the course catalog of my local Jewish Community Center under the classes for seniors, and soon after my seventh-grade speech, I asked my mom to sign me up.
Creating Rituals
We used to say that to be happy, one must find success. These days, to be successful, we are realizing, we must choose to be happy. With scientific studies shedding light on the fact that attitude can literally change our lives, the field of Positive Psychology has been growing. In this series, Positive Psychology professor and Kripalu faculty member Tal Ben Shahar, PhD, explores the notion of what it means to be truly happy, and what tools we can use to practice the art of happiness.
Tal Ben-Shahar, guest blogger
We all know that change is hard. Much research suggests that learning new tricks, adopting new behaviors, or breaking old habits may be harder than we even realize and that most attempts at change, whether by individuals or organizations, fail. It turns out that self-discipline is usually insufficient when it comes to fulfilling our commitments, even those we know are good for us—which is why most New Year's resolutions fail.
40 Years of Kripalu in the West: Coming Home
In this monthly series running through 2012, community members recall milestone moments to commemorate and reflect on Kripalu Yoga.
In 1972, a small residential yoga retreat called Kripalu Center was founded in Sumneytown, Pennsylvania, by Amrit Desai and several of his students from the Philadelphia area. Desai had emigrated to the United States from India, where he was a close disciple of the yoga master Swami Kripalu. Over the next 40 years, Desai's students integrated Swami Kripalu's core teachings with psychology, science, and Western approaches to healing and self-development, creating groundbreaking programs and approaches to well-being. Today, Kripalu's curriculum, professional training, and yoga research continue to be informed by the lineage of Kripalu Yoga. To commemorate the 40-year milestone, we asked several teachers and community members to reflect on what Kripalu Yoga means to them.
Mudra Yoga
The practice of Mudra Yoga opens your highest potential to feel and heal, inviting your deepest self to surface. An empowering and meditative practice, it is a doorway to exploring the potential of posture and meditation in a whole new light. You will come into a state of clarity as you experience your innate wholeness, while gaining tools to transform and deepen both your own and your students' yoga practice.
History of Mudras
Mudras are gestures or postures for the hands, face, or other key areas of the body. In Sanskrit, mudra means gesture or seal, referring to locking or sealing in a specific feeling, state, or energy for a particular effect. For example, Anjali Mudra, commonly known as "prayer pose," awakens and locks in feelings of reverence, peace, and connection to our own and all others' hearts.
Moment of Quiet
"Just for a few moments, simply sit, breathe comfortably (close your eyes if you'd like), and allow yourself to be at ease. Stop reading, stop all activity, and notice what happens."—Stephen Cope

Long limited to two options—creamy or crunchy peanut butter—taste buds (and those allergic to the legume) screamed with joy when almond butter hit the marketing, giving everyone something new to combine with their jelly.
But if your spark for AB has waned (as happens in every relationship), there are plenty of other options in stores today that offer unique flavors and nutrition profiles—and almost endless ways to use them in recipes. Give these tempting spreads a shot. They're so good, you'll have to fight to keep yourself from eating them straight from the jar.

I can't pin down the exact emotion that hits me when I try to quantify just how much time and energy my partners and I routinely dedicate to our company's web presence. Pride? Exhaustion? Bewilderment?
It's not a struggle, though, to give a name to the crippling frustration we'd all face if we ever ended up at the bottom of search results despite our efforts. While I'm not the foremost expert on SEO, SEM, PPC, and all of their acronym relatives, I am expert enough to know that brute effort in those areas, by itself, is not enough to protect a business. It takes intelligent and strategic effort. That's why I use several different firms to outsource our web marketing.

Intel launches Ivy Bridge chips for notebooks, more
updated 10:03 am EDT, Thu May 31, 2012
Ivy Bridge processors for ultrabooks revealed, Intel revises ultrabook requirements
Intel on Thursday launched its Ivy Bridge-series processors for notebooks and ultrabooks, following up on the release of the powerful Ivy Bridge CPUs late last month. Now, the dual-core and ultra-low voltage (ULV) chips came out, with them shipping in products in the near future. Intel promises 110 ultrabooks are planned to come out, broken down into 30 with touchscreens and 10 being convertibles.
An unspecified number of these will start at $700 as well. At the same time, Intel changed the requirements for what constitutes an ultrabook in the first place.
Basically, some notebooks will now fall under the ultrabook category. Newly added are the need for a USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt port, being responsive while active to have programs load quickly and get Intel's Identity Protection and Anti-Theft security features. The minimum five-hour battery life, thinness for a typical screen size, and seven-second wake time remain the same.
That minimum processing performance will be measured with PCMark Vantage Storage and Video Editing sub-scores, while battery life will be tested with the aged and unrepresentative MobileMark 2007 standard. [via The Verge]

State police Tuesday morning announced the formation of a new multi-jurisdictional task force to try to find a road-rage shooter who killed a man on Interstate 81 in Franklin County, and they say the violent driver might act out again.
The group of police officers and agents from the Pennsylvania State Police, Maryland State Police, Carroll Township Police Department in York County and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are treating the Jan. 4 homicide of motorist Timothy Davison as related to a similar case that happened in Carroll Township less than eight hours before the Maine man was gunned down by someone driving a pickup, according to a state police press release.
In the Carroll Township incident, someone in a pickup fired shots at a driver in Monaghan Township, but no one was injured in that incident.
"While there are many similarities between the two, conclusive evidence definitively connecting the two has yet to be established," the document read. "Both investigations will be treated as being related until conclusive evidence proves otherwise."
Police said they believe someone in the region knows who is or may be responsible for the homicide, and anyone who knows someone with violent tendencies who owns or operates a Ford Ranger-style vehicle with damage to it should call PA Crime Stoppers at 1-800-4PA-TIPS, or 1-800-472-8477, according to the press release.
They also want to hear from anyone who was traveling on I-81 near the border of Maryland and Pennsylvania on Jan. 4 between 1:30 and 2:15 a.m., if they saw anything they think might be connected.
The background: Davison, 28, was driving home to Maine after visiting family in Florida when he was fatally shot after his SUV was rammed off the highway north of the Maryland line, according to state police.
Davison called 911 from I-81 near Maryland early Saturday to say someone in a pickup truck was firing on him, then he was forced into a median before the assailant approached and fired several rounds at him.
Police say the shooting occurred in the southbound lanes in Antrim Township, about 10 miles north of Hagerstown, Maryland.
He died at a York hospital following the 2:10 a.m. attack.
The attack appears to have been random, but police said in Tuesday's release they believe there's potential for another incident "due to the violent nature of this incident."
State police spokesman Trooper Rob Hicks said the "sheer randomness" of the shooting and the fact there was likely more than one incident leads police to anticipate another attack.
People who encounter an erratic driver should remove themselves from the situation as quickly and safely as possible, and they should call 911 if they feel threatened, he said.
Police said the truck used in the shooting should have damage to the driver's side, in particular to the door and front quarter panel.
There may also be silver paint that transferred from Davison's 2001 Mitsubishi Montero SUV when it was rammed by the pickup truck, police said.
Police are also asking collision and auto body shops to contact police if a pickup truck matching the description is brought in for repairs.
An autopsy was performed on Davison Monday, but police are not releasing details because of the ongoing investigation, Hicks said.

SELMA, ALA. — A Selma police officer suspected of killing two people before turning the gun on himself was a sergeant with the Alabama National Guard at the time of his death.
Guard officials say Dwight Moorer Jr. enlisted in 2003 and served two tours in Iraq, one from 2006 to 2007 and another in 2011.
He remained in the Guard as a sergeant.
A prosecutor has said he believes stress linked in part to Moorers military service was behind the shootings.
Authorities say Moorer killed a former girlfriend and her stepfather before shooting himself in a Selma neighborhood Sunday.
Moorer was off duty at the time of the slayings. He had been with the Selma Police Department about five years.
State police are investigating.

7 Ways to Have a Great Encounter
"I don't just hook up" is a phrase you will hear a lot when dating. Many guys love to say they never hook up, but by the end of the first date they're often doing just that with you or one of your drunk friends. It is not my place (or yours) to judge what people do with their lives, so here are some tips for enjoying your single years without getting into trouble.
1. Recent Photos - Having recent photos in your online profile is going to guarantee connections go per plan. You wouldn't like a guy showing up at your door looking nothing like his photo. Neither does your potential date. Not having a photo is not an excuse anymore, and if you do not have a recent photo there is always a suspicious reason why...
2. Age is YOUR age - Just because YOU think you look 30 doesn't mean you are. You are actually 39 and you need to say it. A friend of mine lies about his age by three years. He tells guys when he gets called on it that the system didn't update his age. Really? On all 4 of your different profiles on different systems? That is amazing! People have a right not to want you for whatever reason— just like you do. No one wants to be lied to. Just be honest. If someone thinks you are too old, then they'll be missing out on a great opportunity. It is their loss. If you feel a need to lie in order to meet guys, then you need to take a hard look at yourself because you have bigger problems going on.
3. Explain the Plan - Nothing can ruin a hot moment more then inviting a guy over for some fun and then making him watch Muriel's Wedding and cuddle first. Make sure you explain the plan ahead of time. Are you just hooking up? Are you going to hang out before? Can they spend the night or not? Just be clear. This will save you from awkwardness or confused expectations.
4. Play Safe - I hate that I still have to even mention this. I would think by now our community would be playing safe but this is not the case. Just because he tells you he is clean, or his last test was 3 weeks ago, does not mean you should trust him. Make sure you make the right decision.
5. "I'll Call You" - How many times do guys say this (Or how many times have you said it?) and did not mean it? Save yourself the trouble and the bad karma, and don't make promises you are not going to keep. If you want to call, then ask for their number or, better yet, give them yours. It comes down to being honest. You save so much time and hurt feelings if you are just honest.
6. Be Respectful - You are both consenting adults so be respectful of each other. If they do not like something he wants to do, stop. Likewise, don't pressure someone into doing anything he doesn't want to do. Also be respectful of their discretion. You do not want to walk the "walk of shame" when word gets out about what you do in bed, so give them the same courtesy; no one wants to hear over brunch what someone said about them to every gay in town.
7. Have Fun - I receive tons of emails on meeting men and hooking up. Is it OK? Should I do them on the first date? Should I not? That's up to you, and it doesn't mean it will lead to love or even a friend. Hooking up doesn't make you are a slut, either. Just choose what works best for you, your life and your goals. And don't judge others about their personal business. We each need to live our own lives and keep our noses out of others.
