Tip: If you're missing the medal, "Get 50 dollars from Lachh the Pirate", here's how to do it: In the middle of a game, move your mouse off-screen and click, without bringing up the shop menu. There should be a blue pause menu. Then, wait until Lacch offers your some money, where you can then click back onscreen and get your $50.

This is a game where you die a few hundredths of a second before you win, rage on the ground, and then try again only to die to the first wall.

I'm having an issue that seems a little different than the issues others are having with the Nvidia drivers. I am using an HDMI connection to a HDTV driven by a Nvidia GTS250 using the 304.88 drivers. I can set the TV resolution to 1920x1080 in the Nvidia X Server Settings window. And when I first start the PC, or login, it is set to that. I have turned the screen saver off and all power saving settings are off as well. The PC never sleeps and never turns off the display. However, as soon as I change the inputs on my TV and switch back (even within seconds) the resolution has changed to "auto" in the Nvidia settings. "Auto" resolution in this case is 1280x720.
I don't see anything obviously wrong in etc/x11/xorg.conf. The resolution is set correctly in there even after the res has changed. I tried the older driver release just prior to this one with no change. I have no clue where to start looking or what to try.
I could care less about the lack of overscan adjustment in the new drivers since this PC is primarily a backend/frontend and I just adjust the MythTV Frontend settings to properly fill the screen. But this change in resolution is unacceptable. I refuse to watch my recordings in 720p and I really don't want to have to fix this everytime I switch inputs or turn off the TV (not to mention my wife will kill me if I suggest how to change the res). Please help!

Supervisors steering their own course
Apple Computer's wildly successful ad campaign in the late 1990s challenged people to "Think Different."
The campaign's challenge was one that goes to the core of our psyche. We're not programmed to think differently, not even close.
We get sort of set in our ways and cruise along in life like so many of the long strings of lash barges that travel back and forth on the Mississippi River.
A skilled towboat pilot may be able to turn a barge in the middle of the river, but it's not an easy task, as the barges' inertia make them want to continue on the same trajectory.
Government is usually a lot like those barges, slow moving and nearly impossible to turn, even slightly.
But give Adams County Supervisors a little credit for at thinking a little differently lately.
Given the looming problem of needing to replace or seriously revamp and upgrade the county jail, supervisors are considering doing away with the county jail entirely.
Their plan, if they can get permission to do so and if the economics works out, is to consider contracting out the responsibility to house inmates to a private company that already operates a prison in the rural part of Adams County.
It's an interesting concept and one worth the time to explore. We're glad supervisors aren't just allowing inertia to drive things, but are looking for new and different ways to get the same old jobs done.
Such never-leave-a-potential-tax-stone unturned approach is all we can ask of government leaders.

BY MICHAEL EMERY Staff Writer former volun- teer assistant wrestling coach at Claysburg-Kimmel High School is charged with corruption of minors for an incident that occurred with a student on the evening of March 10 at the Hampton Inn in Hershey. A 16-year-old female student at Claysburg-Kimmel High. School filed a complaint against Mark Mosley, 21, of 605 Marie St., Hollidaysburg, for the incident that occurred the weekend of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Ath- letic Association state wrestling championships. Members of the Claysburg- Kimmel wrestling team stayed in Hershey from March 7-11. The state wrestling tournament was held Thursday through Saturday of that week. In a written statement to Detective David Melhorn of the Derry Township Police Depart- ment, the student stated that Mosley initiated sexual relations with her. by asking her for sex and kissing her at the hotel while they were in Hershey to attend the PIAA state wrestling championships. The criminal complaint filed by Melhorn states that Mosley "who was 21 years of age and represent- ing the Claysburg-Kimmel High School as an assistant wrestling coach, did have sexual relations with [a student, who was a The charges were filed April 4 in the office of Dauphin County District Justice Dominic A. Pelino. Mosley's preliminary hearing in Dauphin County is scheduled for 10 a.m. May 10. James O'Harrow, Claysburg- Kimmel School District superin- tendent, said when the charges were brought to his attention, the school district took immediate action to terminate Mosley from his volunteer coaching position. "This is a very unfortunate cir- O'Harrow said. "First and foremost, we want the best for the young girl and her family. They are good people." When members of the student's family attended Wednesday night's school board meeting and asked to discuss matters in con- nection to the coaching staff and incidents that occurred at this year's PIAA wrestling champi- onships, the school board went into executive session to discuss personnel matters privately with the family members. Mosley was not a teacher. He was a college student taking time off, and he was in his first year as a volunteer assistant coach, said Dave Marko, head wrestling coach at Claysburg-KimmeL Please see A4 BOTH OVER BOYEH Lawsuit's transfer to be challenged BY PHIL RAY StaffWriter The dispute over control of Altoona's Boyer Candy Co. should be heard in Blair County courts, not federal court In Johnstown, said attorney Thomas M. Dickey, who represents. Deborah Forgione, the ex-wife of the company's late president -Dickey said Wednesday that he will challenge a move by the com- pany's chief financial officer, Roger Raybuck, to transfer the lawsuit that Dickey filed on behalf of Deborah Forgione to U.S. District Court. Dickey had no further comment on the legal arguments he will cite in the case. Dickey, of Altoona, last weekend asked Blair County Judge Norman D. Callan to issue an injunction that would permit Deborah Forgione to go to Boyer Candy at 87117th St. and examine its finan- cial records. She also is attempting to become the sole trustee, or overseer, of an irrevocable trust that holds the candy company's 400 shares of stock. She and her three grown children are the beneficiaries of the trust.

At right: Three sailors from Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron One, based on WMdbey Island, Wash., sign a welcome-home banner for the 24 crew members. Incident raises questions about diplomacy BY ROBERT IGOE StaffWriter The Chinese release of 24 American crew members is resulting in a myriad of emo- tions and opinions from local residents and officials. Though all welcomed the news, the incident has opened up other viewpoints in American military and diplo- matic attitudes. Altoona's Karen Donaldson, who called for a yellow ribbon campaign to support the troops, was pleased to hear of the .announcement Wednesday. LOCAL ANGLE "I was thrilled to learn of she said. "I don't believe that these people should have been held. "I think that President Bush made the right decision not to give in, but now, I think it's time to look at phina in a differ- ent light, not as our brother. Some things have to change." Meanwhile, Donaldson urges residents to keep thffyellow rib- bons up to support American troops in the Balkans and other trouble spots. "Our ribbons are going to stay she said. "This is not just a one-time thing. These soldiers are fighting for us. Their efforts are for pur benefit." Blair County Commissioner John H. Eichelberger Jr. gives President Bush high marks for his handling of the situation. "I think that President Bush did a great he said. "His father was the ambassador to China, so I wouldn't be sur- prised to learn that he advised his son on the situation. From Mirror wire reports HAGATNA, Guam The crew of a U.S. spy plane was back on American territory today after being held for 12 days in China in a diplomatic show- down that ended after President Bush said the United States was "very sorry" for a Chinese pilot's death and the U.S. plane's landing without permission. The 21 men and three women, boarded a Continental Boeing 737 that took off at about a.m. local time from the civilian air- port at Haikou, the capital of Hainan island. It quickly disap- peared into the cloudy sky, bound for the U.S. territory of Guam and then Hawaii. After giving crew members their first chance to talk with fam- ily members by telephone, a mili- tary C-17 was to carry them fur- ther across the Pacific to Hawaii. Because of time changes, they were arriving at dawn of the same day they left China. Word spread early Wednesday that the U.S. crew would be released after journalists across v China who are midranking Communist Party members and above were called to attend secret meetings at which they were ordered to stick to official New China News Agency accounts when reporting the news. The message, according to peo- ple who attended one meeting, was that America should be blamed for the incident and that the struggle would continue because the U.S. surveillance air-' craft will remain on Chinese soil. The million BP-3E Aries E, which was heavily damaged in the collision with the Chinese F-8 that was tailing it, is sitting on the airstrip where the American crew's pilot brought it to rest after a harrowing 15-minute ride that aviators describe as just short of miraculous. About p.m., Brig. Gen. Neal Sealock, the American defense attache in China, met with Chinese officials to arrange the crew's departure. Though the general and other officials were not allowed to tell the crew of their imminent depar- ture, they passed their cell phones to Chinese counterparts and asked that they be given to crew mem- bers for calls to loved ones. The Chinese announced late Wednesday afternoon that the J crew would be released and cast the word nationally about The Continental plane that wflC< bring the crew to Hawaii will leave Guam with a team of mill-; tary officials. There also were doc-' tors and psychologists on board toi conduct preliminary examina- ;ct tionsofthecrew.

About 30 people offered opinions during a ZW-hour hearing scheduled after the Altoona Center's residen- tial population dropped by 20 percent. The center houses 119 residents, down from 143 in 1997. "There are no plans to close the Altoona Ford S. Thompson Jr., executive assistant to state welfare Secretary Feather Houstoun, told the 175 peo- ple who filled the Ramada's ballroom. Despite Thompson's statement, the concern for the Altoona Center surfaced repeatedly at the hearing, where some people asked that it and other centers remain open, while others testified that it's time for the centers to be closed. Renee Davis of Altoona told the audience that she works at the center as an aide and her sister lives there.

text: I`m giving this rum 5 stars because for such a potent rum it has alot of flavor going for it. This rum would make a most potent and flavorful rum cake, i would also think it would make eggnog scream! As with any alcohol enjoy it, but don`t abuse it, otherwise it will abuse you later on. If you drink this straight up like myself from time to time it is kind of enjoyable drinking this rum, as if you burp you can taste the molasses come back up on you. Not in a bad way, just that you get to enjoy the flavor a second time!

floaters are bits of matter that float in the vitreous (jelly-fluid) center of the eyeball. Short of contraversial surgery, nothing can be done about them. They are harmless but can be extraordinarly annoying; anyone bothered by them should get checked by their optomologist, however, to make sure the floaters are not a symptom of a more serious retina problem however. There are online websites and online info. about floaters also...

Lasik Eye Surgery reviews in Westminster
refered to the Specialist. Over the years, I have had
not much relief from previous eye specialist. Working with Dr.
at FES has given my problems some relief and due to Dr. 's
knowledge, ...MoreRead more of this review intelligence and progressive practice I feel that there
is hope for my condition...
Further more, the team of nurses, doctors, and staff at are very kind, friendly, helpful, and supportive. They showed interest in my well being. I could ask them any questions and concerns. They are professional and wonderful people. Dr. and his team were so happy for me and my "new" vision. My overall experience at MGC was so pleasant that I could not ask for more."
This facitlity and staff are top notch! The surgery package comes with follow-up visits for a year. In additon, they were able to provide financing with affordable monthly payments. The surgery was quick and recovery time was minimal. I did have halos for several months afterwards, but they assured me this was normal, and, indeed, it was normal and has gone away completely.
I highly recommend this facility and doctor for surgery. I am 100% satisfied with their service and my vision.
Severe irregular astigmatism by definition means the doctor screwed up and research shows refractive surgery is the number 1 cause. Lastly dr and the profession knows any type of refractive eye surgery should not be performed until the patient is 21, my son was 18. Shame on you dr

Morris & Safford EQUIPMENT ABSTRACT: There is disclosed a patient positioning apparatus, particularly for use with therapy wherein an as sociated couch is suspended from above rather than forming an integral part of therapy equipment. Also provided is a 20 20B 3/ /3 91W x R2 6 A s 0 "u 5 u 2 m m d Ld l F m 55 121 isocentric facility and the ability to move the patient in 325; 240/] rectilinear coordinates and also in r relationship to a datum which may be the access of emission of an X-ray device or a source line ofa pieceof radio therapy equipment.
OVERHEAD llSOCENTRllC COUCH FOR THERAPY EQUIPMENT This invention relates generally to overhead supported couches used for the positioning of patients. More particularly the invention relates to a patient positioning system which is supported from above and which is of particular utility in teletherapy for example, radio therapy treatment of cancer etc.
There is described, in copending Canadian lPat. application No. 069,250, filed Dec. 8th, 1969, and US. Pat. application No. 008,35l filed Feb. 2nd, 1970, each entitled "Patient Positioning Systems" by Pegrum and Whitfield, each application being assigned to Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, a patient positioning system for sole support by the main frame of the equipment. The type of equipment contemplated in these prior applications is exemplified by the Theratro and 80 units and the Eldorado 6 and 8 units, the registered trademarks owned by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. The foregoing units, well known to those skilled in the art, are Cobalt 60 teletherapy units.
in the aforementioned two copending applications there is disclosed and claimed a therapy couch which is solely supported by the body of the unit frame. The applications also teach the provision of re and rectilinear movements to the couch relative to the source-head and, more importantly, isocentric movement when required.
While the advantages of existing Theratronand Eldorado units continue to be enjoyed and that the frame-mounted underslung therapy couches, described in the aforementioned copending applications, have found quick acceptance among radiotherapists, the latter required yet another type of couch support.
It has been found that in certain installations the couch and its associated supporting structure require to be accessible from all horizontal directions. Such a requirement exists, for example, the therapy equipment is mobile and may be withdrawn away from the patient in order to permit space for other equipment, such as X-ray or Fluroscopic equipment.
Further it has been found necessary to move a therapy couch to one side to permit therapy-of a patient in bed and the manipulation of a therapy unit around the bed. Again, in order to allow the mounting or dismounting of a patient from the couch from either side of a therapy unit without moving the latter, even more degrees of freedom become necessary. In providing all the desired accessibility, it was required to not only preserve the r9 and rectilinear movements but also the isocentric movementcapability.
It is an object of one feature of the invention to provide an overhead supported patient positioning having r9,rectilinear and isocentric movements and enhanced accessibility.
In accordance with the foregoing object, the invention comprises: an overhead suspension member the upper end of which is attached to the said ceiling or overhead structure, a mount plate having at one end pivotally attached the lower end of said suspension member and having the other cantilevered outwardly from said one end, a longitudinal guide member pivotally attached at a point intermediate its length, to the other end of said mount plate, said longitudinal guide member having slide-block engaging means thereon, a longitudinal slide-block slidably received in the slide-block engaging means on the longitudinal guide member, a transverse guide member attached, at a point intermediate its length, to the said longitudinal slide-block, said longitudinal guide member having slide-block engaging means thereon, a transverse slide-block slidably received in the slide-block engaging means on the transverse guide member, and, a lower suspension member pivotally attached to and extending downwardly from said transverse slide-block.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing which shows, in isometric, patient positioning apparatus.
in the drawing, a column l is rigidly fastened to the ceiling or other overhead structure by means not shown. A mount plate d is cantilevered horizontally from the lower end of the column 1 and is provided with bearing means therebetween to permit rotation of the mount about the column ll. At the remote end of the mount plate 4 there: is a pivot 42 which supports a longitudinal guide 6 disposed for rotation, about the pivot 42 beneath the mount plate 4. The underside of the longitudinal guide 6 is provided with a channel, flanges and a slide-block, not shown, to which is attached a transverse guide 66 which likewise is provided with a channel 67 and flanges 69. A transverse slide-block 68 is slidably received in the channel 67.
Thus, the transverse guide 66 may be moved longitudinally under the longitudinal guide 6 while the slideb-block 68 may be moved transversely relative to the guide 66. A column 70, having an adjustable length facility, not ,shown, extends downwardly from the transverse slide block 68. A detachable stretcher 5 is removably attached to the lower end of the column 70 forms no part of the present invention.
If the longitudinal guide 6 is rotated, about pivot 42, so that the guide 6 and the mount plate 4 are substantially coextensive, then rotation of the mount plate 4 about column 1 provides the 9" function in an ramovement. The r function is then set by the movement of loTigitudinal block within the longitudinal guide 6. it will be obvious that rgmovements may be effected without the prior coextensiverfess of the longitudinal guide 6 and the plate 4. However, for any angular position of the guide 6 and the plate 4, having first fixed the re functions, the stretcher may be given pure rectilinear transla tions. Pure linear translations are, of course, entirely simple.
To assist in summarizing the above movements, the directions of X--)( Y'Y and 2-2 are marked on the drawing together with the direction of r and horizontal plane of Q Thus, the following movements are provided.
Vertical Z-Z Longitudinal X-X Transverse Y'Y isocentric r6(relative to column 11) Rotational Facility r 9 (relative to pivot 42) (This movement is rotational but is i5: isocentric) In the second rotational facility theQfunction is in the same plane as the first mentionedQ. The dirTzction of r is shown on the drawing.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the sourcehead must be located coaxially with respect to the particular axis chosen for re movement. Thus "the drawing shown, in phantom, a sourcehead disposed on the axis of the column 1. All movements may, however, be individually locked to give the associated elements desired fixed positions. As with couch column 7, the overhead column ll may be of adjustable length. Generally, the two columns will be parallel to each other.
The invention just described provides for a wider range of heights for associated therapy or diagnostic equipment. Theoretically, the maximum range of vertical movement is about one-half of the ceiling height. The five distinct move ments may be individually or collectively power assisted by means well known in the art. The overhead mount provides much greater access to and maneuverability around the couch. From the latter feature stems the possibility of using less expensive couches, more importantly, the invention provides isocentric properties combined with the ability to execute rectilinear movements or composite isocentric and rectilinear movements using either of the isocentric axes. Further, all the advantages of the invention may be enjoyed by radio therapy installations already having fixed or moveable source heads and associated counter weight and support frame. These and other advantages and further embodiments falling within the terms of the appended claims will occur to those skilled in the art.

I feel breast milk is best for babies, but after a stay in the NICU and what I later learned was a horrible latch while using a nipple shield, my baby was not gaining weight. I had not realized my supply had tanked because I was nursing my baby and he truly seemed satisfied and there would even be milk in the nipple. Thankfully he has not had formula because a friend gave me breastmilk to help supplement, but I am so sore and my baby will still only latch properly a couple of times a day.
Do any BTDT mom's have advice to share? I am currently on Reglan to try to increase supply. I can pump about .8 oz both sides. I truly don't want to give up, but I feel like a terrible mom and I want to see my baby thrive. (By the way, he has gained 9 oz since last week and the pediatrician says all looks good).
Thanks in advance!

Hamas is under pressure twice over, from both the worsening domestic situation in the Strip and the militant organization potentially losing its main threat against Israel.23:32 03.05.16 | 0 comments
Back in 1973 during crucial moments of the devastating Yom Kippur war, concerned Israeli cries went out desperately inquiring, "Eifo Arik? Where is Arik? This was in reference to where this Israeli warrior was in the deserts of Sinai at any particular time with his command of a tank division staving off the brutal offensive of the Egyptian forces. If they learned that Arik was succeeding in tireless, ingenious, on-the-spot military counterattacks, then all of Israel took a collective sigh of relief. On the other hand, if Arik had been encountering setbacks of any sort, then there was great cause for worry amongst the Israelis as to the outcome of the war. The genuine cry of an Israeli commander to his troops before darting ahead in a mission to show his troops the way is, "Kadima, Acharai" (Forward! After Me). It is interesting to see Sharon now create his new Party, "Kadima", but this time to try and establish an offensive drive for peace with his Palestinian neighbors with the same heart of a lion that drove the Egyptian armies back. I wish you well Khaver, Khazak ve Baruch!

Sixty-one cadets are in the 57th annual Trooper Candidate School at Camp Ripley in Brainerd. The training began Jan. 25 and continues for 16 weeks. Graduation day is May 17th. Upon completion of the training academy, the cadets will be sworn in as State Troopers. The cadets will complete rigorous physical and mental training, which includes first aid, emergency vehicle operations, firearms, defensive tactics, radar operations, vehicle contacts and numerous other courses. The cadets will be challenged both physically and mentally on their way to becoming the State Patrol's newest members. Check our Facebook page for updates on the 57th Trooper Candidate School.
Three new K-9s are joining the State Patrol's Investigative Services Division! Alma is a female German Wirehair pointer from Holland. Argo is a male German Shepherd from Slovakia, and Busa is a male German Shepherd from Hungary.
The hard-working dogs are currently being trained for drug detection by MSP trainers. Troopers will be selected as handlers and will attend a 200-hour dog handler course beginning in May. The newly certified K-9 units will hit the road in June. Look for them in Rochester, Fergus Falls, and the Brainerd Lakes area!

Disney Princess fans can sit back and relax with their favorite princesses with the Disney Princess Rocking Chair. The Disney Princess Rocking Chair features an easy-rocking action with inlaid character graphic featuring Tiana from The Princess and the Frog, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. The rocking chair is a sturdy, one-piece plastic construction.
The Disney Princess Rocking Chair allows kids to have their own piece of furniture that is just their size. The range of motion for rocking isn't that much, which we like because it feels safer and more stable for little ones.
There is no age recommendation for this chair, but we think it's appropriate for Disney Princess fans ages 1 and up, as long as the child can sit up on her own. This chair will hold at least 100 pounds.
Additional Disney character rocking chairs are available and sold separately.

I am writing to show my support for a second full time ambulance to be placed at the north station. When the construction of this building was in the planning stage, the people in the vicinity were told that an ambulance would be housed there as an incentive to give their approval of the project.
Now that the Public Safety Tax has been levied on the wage earners of Perry County, we need to see movement on getting this ambulance. It would benefit the entire county, not just the northern part.

TELL CITY—Leo Simpson and Cameron Kessinger each won two individual events as Tell City beat Perry Central 79-53 in boys track Thursday.
Tell City won 13 of the 16 events.
Simpson won the 1600-meter run in 4:36 and the 3200 in 9:52.
"Obviously his two-mile was impressive - that was a personal record by right at 10 seconds," said Tell City Coach Zac Hartz.
Simpson teamed with Thomas Simpson, Seth Vaquero and Chase Beckort to win the 3200 relay in 11:43.75.
DUBOIS—Former Tell City three-sport star Andy Chinn was named Northeast Dubois' head girls basketball coach Tuesday.
Chinn, 25, succeeds Alan Matheis, who retired after 15 years as the girls coach.
Chinn was an assistant to Matheis the past two years after serving one year as an assistant for Kentucky Wesleyan College's men's team.
LYNNVILLE—Perry Central held Tecumseh's powerful bats in check for three innings, but the Braves exploded for 10 runs in the next three innings to win 12-0 in softball Friday.
"It was 2-0 until the fourth inning; then they started hitting the ball really well," said Perry Central Coach Mark Rothgerber.
The Braves, ranked No. 5 in the state in Class A, had a triple and a three-run homer among their hits in their five-run fourth and sixth innings.

We may not know who our next President is going to be, but here's one thing that's almost certain: he or she will take office with roughly half of the electorate unhappy and mistrustful. The notion that the President speaks for a broad coalition of Americans who are willing to set aside their differences on behalf of a compelling new vision for the country? It's vanished.

Cape radio company pulls ad that attacks Jeff Perry
Under pressure from listeners, three Cape radio stations have pulled a political advertisement that graphically describes what a Wareham police officer did to a 14-year-old girl, reports the Cape Cod Times.
WXTK, WCOD and WCIB, three stations owned by Qantum Communications, have removed the ad, purchased by the American Family First Action Fund, after receiving complaints about its content, said Allison Makkay, the radio group's general manager.

Whether you want Verizon or AT&T depends on where you live - they each are stronger in different parts of the country. You can also compare their data plans to see which makes more sense for you. And yes, you certainly have to pay to get a 4G service... but you can do so on a monthly basis, you are not locked into a plan like on a cell phone.

HEBRON ESTATES - It didn't start exactly the way North Bullitt fans would have wanted.
But it was a great way to begin a district game against a county rival for fans of the Bullitt Central Cougars.
The visiting Cougars came out of the cages hungry and aggressive on Tuesday. But in the end, it was the North Bullitt Eagles who came away with the 5-4 victory and the guarantee of not having to play a first-round district baseball game in two weeks.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The normal lament from spring sports coaches is often about too much rain.
This year coaches are worried that there is not enough rain. At least not enough rain to cancel some games.
Unlike basketball where the game limitations are somewhat complicated based on regular season games and tournament contests, for baseball and softball the rule is quite clear. No team can play more than 36 games in the regular season.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - It was a pretty good day on Wednesday for Kayla Thacker.
First, she was already scheduled to sign her letter of intent to play basketball for Northern Kentucky University.
But she was also selected to play for the Kentucky All-Stars in its annual series against Indiana in June.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - People in the area may recognize Tom Jurich as athletic director of the University of Louisville.
But many may not realize his long-term commitment to the Court-Appointed Special Advocates program.
Before arriving in Louisville, Jurich was a member of CASA and has been a frequent guest speaker in Bullitt County as a fund-raiser for the local program.
On Tuesday, Jurich was inducted as the first member of the CASA Hall of Fame in Bullitt County.
BARDSTOWN - Following Saturday evening's rainout, Bluegrass Speedway track promoters David and Anita Ferrell will again present racing action this Saturday May 22 as the American Sprint Car Tour visits the ½ mile, high-banked Nelson County clay oval as Sprint Cars return to Bluegrass Speedway for the first time since 2003.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - An already planned short week because of Oaks and Derby Day, became an even shorter week when rain on Tuesday washed out Bullitt East's district game with Fairdale.
That game is now rescheduled for Thursday of this week at Fairdale.
That left the Chargers on the field for just two games in a mini-showdown with Oldham County schools. On Monday, the red and gold came up short against North Oldham, falling 9-7. On Thursday, Bullitt East evened that count as they thumped South Oldham 15-7.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Midway through the high school track season and three Bullitt County athletes in four events stand atop their events in Class AA according to the Kentucky Track and Cross-Country Association rankings from April 20.
Bullitt East senior Jackie Stevens, the defending Class AA State Champion in both the discus and shot put is way out in front in her two events.
HEBRON ESTATES - An old-fashioned pitchers' duel that saw just ten hits combined, showed just how close the top teams are this season in 24th District softball play.
When the dust had finally settled on a blustery spring day Thursday, it was Bullitt East sitting atop the regular season standings after slipping past North Bullitt 2-1 in what has become the most heated rivalry in area softball circles.
HEBRON ESTATES - Leah Cherry loves to play softball.
And the North Bullitt senior will have the opportunity to play at the next level as she recently signed her letter of intent to play for Indiana University-Southeast.
"I'm beyond excited," Cherry said moments after the signing. "This is exactly what I've been dreaming about for years."
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Family is important to Bullitt Central senior Shane Williamson.
That is why on the Friday before spring break, Williamson opted to sign the official papers to play football at Campbellsville University next season in a hospital at the bedside of his great grandfather - F.G. Jones.
"I just want to thank my family for being behind me and pushing me," the 17-year old son of Pam and Joey Williamson said before the more formal ceremony in the Bullitt Central library last week.

Waffle House Patron Shoots Unsuspecting Armed Robber
On Monday morning, a robber walked into an Atlanta Waffle House and pointed a gun at patrons. The crook was wearing a bandana and hoodie, according to reports.
Everyone in the restaurant undoubtably saw their lives flash before their eyes. That is, until one Waffle House patron pulled out his own gun and fired at the bandit.
The suspect is Ashton Macafee, 20. After entering the Waffle House, he screamed. "Nobody move and open the cash register!" The incident happened around 2am in south Fulton County.
The man who fired back at Macafee, and likely saved the lives of some innocent patrons, was an off-duty security guard named Evans Chad Pollard. He fired two shots at Macafee, hitting him both times. Pollard said, "I felt that not only my life, but everyone's life was in danger, so I had to do what I had to do. Everybody was scared and when I eliminated the threat, everyone felt calm. He came in and I did what I could."
He continued, "As soon as he pointed [the gun] at us I'm like, I thought I was going to die right there."
Pollard said he used to be a firefighter before becoming a security guard.
Macafee did not die as a result of the gunshots, but he is currently in critical condition in the hospital.
Thankfully, Pollard has not been charged with anything for shooting the crook. This man is a hero, and should be treated as such.

Totally Psycho American Psycho
Jeremy Daniel
It's hard to tell if the American Psycho musical knows that it sounds like a joke straight out of The Simpsons—or whether it matters. Imagine Homer Simpson and his family on a trip to Capital City, and Marge announces that there's a musical based on Bret Easton Ellis's novel. The kicker: Duncan Sheik wrote the music. But this is no joke, despite the copious jokes. It's real life, and we're stuck with what to make of this ludicrous crowd-pleaser.
I'm reminded of another absurd musical adaptation of another quintessential novel of '80s New York depravity: Paul Scott Goodman's Patrick Wilson-starring Bright Lights, Big City, from 1999, which took the fact of its odd subject for musical theater and ran with it so far past its farcical extremes that it came out the other side. The hero of Jay McInerney's novel had a fixation on a comatose child, and Goodman gave "Coma Baby" its own song, which is revisited throughout; he did the same for a missing NYU student on a milk carton. The downtown cokeheads at the Odeon repeat the line "Can you make me cum?" until it sounds like catchy nonsense a la "da doo ron ron."

Detailed measurements on special gated Si p+n diodes yield the damage parameters associated with the three basic current components in p-n junctions. Recombination in the neutral bulk, recombination and generation in the space-charge region, and recombination and generation at the surface are characterized over a wide range of neutron doses and injection levels. For recombination in the neutral bulk, the lifetime damage constant is about 3 x 105 n-sec/cm2 at high injection levels and varies with dose between 103 and 104 n-sec/cm2 for low injection levels. The damage constant for the space-charge region recombination lifetime is about 5 x 105 n-sec/cm2 for forward biases in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 V and the damage constant for the generation lifetime in the space-charge region is 5 x 107 n-sec/cm2 both nearly independent of dose. The surface generation and recombination velocities are process dependent and are not a linear function of the dose. The surface generation velocity increases from about 10 cm/sec at 2 x 1011 n/cm2 to saturate at about 100 cm/sec at 1014 n/cm2 in the diodes studied here. Using these data, the grounded emitter current gain (hFE) for a Si pnp transistor (2N4872) is predicted as a function of dose and current density. Both the dose and the current density dependence of hFE, as predicted by our V-I characteristics and deduced lifetimes, are in reasonable agreement with the published specifications.
