There's no better way to get into the Halloween spirit than by watching some scary movies. Here's another round of new spooky movie recommendations, courtesy of George Wolf.
Disclaimer: We take no responsibility for nightmares you may have from watching these films.
>> Movies 1 – 5 | 6 – 10 | 11 – 15 | 16 – 20 | 21 – 25 | 26 – 31 <<
October 10th: The Ordeal (Calvaire) (2004)
The Ordeal (Calvaire) | 88 minutes | Unrated
A paranoid fantasy about the link between progress and emasculation, The Ordeal sees a timid singer stuck in the wilds of Belgium after his van breaks down.
Writer/director Fabrice Du Welz's script scares up the darkest imaginable humor. If David Lynch had directed Deliverance in French, the concoction might have resembled The Ordeal. As sweet, shy singer Marc (a pitch perfect Laurent Lucas) awaits aid, he begins to recognize the hell he's stumbled into. Unfortunately for Marc, salvation's even worse.
The whole film boasts an uneasy, "What next?" quality. It also provides a European image of a terror that's plagued American filmmakers for generations: the more we embrace progress, the further we get from that primal hunter/gatherer who knew how to survive.
Du Welz animates more ably than most our collective revulsion over the idea that we've evolved into something incapable of unaided survival; the weaker species, so to speak. Certainly John Boorman's Deliverance (the Uncle Daddy of all backwoods survival pics) understood the fear of emasculation that fuels this particular dread, but Du Welz picks that scab more effectively than any filmmaker since.
His film is a profoundly uncomfortable, deeply disturbing, unsettlingly humorous freakshow that must be seen to be believed.
October 9th: The Shining (1980)
The Shining | 146 minutes | Rated: R
It's isolated, it's haunted, you're trapped, but somehow nothing feels derivative and you're never able to predict what happens next. It's Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece rendition of Stephen King's The Shining.
Though critics were mixed at the time of the film's release, and both Kubrick and co-star Shelley Duvall were nominated for Razzies, much of the world's negative response had to do with a needless affection for the source material. Kubrick and co-scriptor Diane Johnson use King's novel as little more than an outline, and the film is better for it.
A study in atmospheric tension, Kubrick's vision of the Torrance family collapse at the Overlook Hotel is both visually and aurally meticulous. It opens with that stunning helicopter shot, following Jack Torrance's little yellow Beetle up the mountainside, the ominous score announcing a foreboding that the film never shakes.
The hypnotic, innocent sound of Danny Torrance's Big Wheel against the weirdly phallic patterns of the hotel carpet tells so much – about the size of the place, about the monotony of the existence, about hidden perversity. The sound is so lulling that its abrupt ceasing becomes a signal of spookiness afoot.
Duvall terrifies in that she is so visibly terrified. She may be "somewhat more resourceful" than Mr. Grady and his cohorts imagined, but she is a bit of a simpleton. Her gangly, Joey Ramone looks – so boney and homely – are shot to elongate what's already too long, making her seem like a vision of death.
Let's not forget Jack.
Nicholson outdoes himself. His early, veiled contempt blossoms into pure homicidal mania, and there's something so wonderful about watching Nicholson slowly lose his mind. Between writer's block, isolation, ghosts, alcohol withdrawal, midlife crisis, and "a momentary loss of muscular coordination," the playfully sadistic creature lurking inside this husband and father emerges.
What image stays with you most? The two creepy little girls? The blood pouring out of the elevator? The impressive afro in the velvet painting above Scatman Crothers's bed? That freaky guy in the bear suit? Whatever the answer, thanks be to Kubrick's deviant yet tidy imagination.
And, if you're in the mood for a double feature, check out last year's Room 237. As it explores various interpretations of Kubrick's vision that vary in wackiness, it cements the effect The Shining still has on pop culture.
Speaking of… if you've never seen The Simpsons take on it, The Shinning, you gotta remedy that.
October 8th: The Woman (2011)
The Woman | 101 minutes | Rated: R
OK, we're 8 days in. It's time to get real. And by that I mean real nasty.
There's something not quite right about Chris Cleek (an unsettlingly cherubic Sean Bridgers), and his family's uber-wholesomeness is clearly suspect. This becomes evident once Chris hunts down a feral woman (an awesome Pollyanna McIntosh), chains her, and invites the family to help him "civilize" her.
The film rethinks family – well, patriarchy, anyway. Notorious horror novelist and co-scriptor Jack Ketchum may say things you don't want to hear, but he says them well. And director Lucky McKee – in his most surefooted film to date – has no qualms about showing you things you don't want to see. Like most of Ketchum's work, The Woman is lurid and more than a bit disturbing. Indeed, the advanced screener I watched came in a vomit bag.
Aside from an epically awful performance by Carlee Baker as the nosey teacher, the performances are not just good for the genre, but disturbingly solid. McIntosh never veers from being intimidating, terrifying even when she's chained. Bridgers has a weird way of taking a Will Ferrell character and imbibing him with the darkest hidden nature. Even young Zach Rand, as the sadist-in-training teen Brian, nails the role perfectly.
Nothing happens in this film by accident – not even the seemingly innocent baking of cookies – nor does it ever happen solely to titillate. It's a dark and disturbing adventure that finds something unsavory in our primal nature and even worse in our quest to civilize. Don't even ask about what it finds in the dog pen.
Warning: The following trailer contains profanity.
October 7th: Dead Snow (2009)
Dead Snow | 91 minutes | Unrated
Nazi zombies, everybody! Heck yes!
Like its portly nerd character Erlend, Dead Snow loves horror movies. A self-referential "cabin in the woods" flick, Dead Snow follows a handsome mixed-gender group of college students as they head to a remote cabin for Spring Break. A creepy old dude warns them off with a tale of local evil. They mock and ignore him at their peril.
But co-writer/director/Scandinavian Tommy Wirkola doesn't just obey these time honored horror film rules. Like Scream and The Cabin in the Woods, Dead Snow draws your attention to them. It embraces our prior knowledge of the path we're taking to mine for comedy, but doesn't give up on the scares. Wirkola's artful imagination generates plenty of startles, and gore by the gallon.
Spectacular location shooting, exquisite cinematography, effective sound editing and a killer soundtrack combine to elevate the film above its clever script and solid acting. In just one example, there is a gorgeous image of a peaceful Norwegian night – a tent, lit from within, sitting like a jewel nestled in the quiet of a snowy mountainside. The image glistens with pristine outdoorsy beauty – until it … doesn't.
The unapologetically faithful image of the traditional American horror film, Dead Snow is funny and scary, utterly gross and thoroughly enjoyable.
October 6th: 28 Days Later (2002)
28 Days Later | 113 minutes | Rated: R
Prior to 28 Days Later, the zombie genre seemed finally dead and gone. But director Danny Boyle single-handedly resurrected the genre with two new(ish) ideas: 1) they are't dead, 2) therefore, they can move really quickly.
You know you're in trouble from the genius opening sequence: vulnerability, tension, bewilderment, rage, and blood – it launches a frantic and terrifying not-zombie film.
Like zombie god George Romero, though, Boyle's real worry is not the infected, it's the living.
Activists break into a research lab and free the wrong effing monkeys.
28 days later, bike messenger Jim wakes up naked on an operating table.
What follows is the eerie image of an abandoned, desolate London as Jim wanders hither and yon hollering for anybody. In the church, we get our first glimpse of what Jim is now up against, and dude, run!
Danny Boyle is one of cinema's visionary directors, and he's made visceral, fascinating, sometimes terrifying films his entire career – Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Millions, 127 Hours – but 28 Days Later is his one true horror film. And it is inspired.
He uses a lot of ideas Romero introduced, pulling loads of images from The Crazies and Day of the Dead, in particular (as well as Adrian Lyne's Jacob's Ladder). But he revolutionized the genre – sparking the rebirth of zombie movies – with just a handful of terrifying tweaks.
The vision, the writing, and the performances all help him transcend genre trappings without abandoning the genre. Both Brendan Gleeson and Cillian Murphy are impeccable actors, and Naomie Harris is a truly convincing badass. Their performances, and the cinematic moments of real joy, make their ordeal that much more powerful.
Sure, it's tough to believe that among the ten or so people still alive in England, two are as stunningly attractive as Murphy and Harris. You know what, though? Boyle otherwise paints a terrifyingly realistic vision of an apocalypse we could really bring on ourselves.

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. -- Troopers say 19-year-old Andrew Bray Barham was driving down Scalesville Road in Summerfield Sunday evening, hit High Point firefighter Todd Martinez, did not stop, and was arrested a few hours later at his parent's house.
READ: High Point Fire Dept. Remembers Firefighter Martinez
Barham is charged with Felony Hit and Run, a Class-F Felony.
The teen did not spend one second in jail - his fingerprints were taken and he paid the $2,500 bond.
The suggested bond for Barham's charge in Guilford County ranges between $2,500 and $25,000.
Barham was given the lowest suggested bond by Magistrate Christie Haynes.
"The magistrate is obligated under the law to put a bond, fix a bond that is the least bond that can reasonably be required to bring the defendant to court on his court date," explained Locke Clifford, Defense Attorney.
"The bond is not designed to be punitive, it is not. In this case that fact that it's $2,500, does not put a value on the life of the deceased fireman. Not at all."
Defense attorney Locke Clifford says the purpose of a bond is not to punish a suspect, but to put "pressure" on the person to ensure they appear for court.
"We don't throw people in prison based on accusations, we put people in prison based on proof. And so the bond is the device the state uses to make sure the defendant comes to court so that the case against him can either be proved or not be proved," explained Clifford.
WFMY News 2's Morgan Hightower reached out to Magistrate Haynes to ask her why she set Barham's bond at $2,500 - but court employees said Haynes is out of the office all week.
When asked if Barham should be considered a flight risk because he's accused of leaving the scene of a crime, Clifford answered, "You would assume the bond would be higher just because of that exact fact."
Clifford says magistrates often look at criminal history, and other factors like mental health before they set bond.
Barham does not have any prior convictions.
Barham's next court date is scheduled for March 6.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Cinnabar Hills Golf Club is a place a champion such as Cain Velasquez can afford to be off his game – a luxury he won't have come Nov. 12, when the UFC debuts on network TV on FOX.
Before the American Kickboxing Academy representative meets Junior Dos Santos for the UFC heavyweight crown at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., he arrives on the links for a recent charity golf tournament in between morning and nighttime training sessions.
Velasquez was one of 15 fighters donating his time and auction items to benefit Turning Wheels for Kids, a local nonprofit that raises money to build new bikes for children.
Past and present Strikeforce champions such as Gilbert Melendez, Luke Rockhold, Josh Thomson and Muhammad Lawal were on hand for the Oct. 28 event. Even a fighter who doesn't mind a bad-guy persona, Josh Koscheck, shared in the effort. Not everyone golfed (Velasquez included), but teammates Daniel Cormier and Rockhold enjoyed the polo-wearing, birdie lifestyle enough for all.
It's the second year Bay Area MMA has supported the cause, which first caught the attention of Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker. He read about it in the newspaper and came to the idea of a charity golf tournament when convincing his golfing buddy, former Strikeforce middleweight champion Frank Shamrock, to take lessons.
Shamrock admits he sucks. He applies his typical blunt assessments to the benefits of today's charity event.
"My first bike I stole," Shamrock, who was a troubled youth before being taken in by his adoptive father, Bob Shamrock, and discovering martial arts, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I have a feeling [Turning Wheels for Kids] probably curbed some crime."
A former foe of Shamrock, Cung Le believes the role of martial artist requires expressing gratitude to the community with volunteer work.
"I came over [to the U.S.] as a refugee; I was in a refugee camp for three months," the former Strikeforce middleweight champion said. "I feel very blessed. So if I get a chance, I'm going to give back as much as I could."
On Dec. 10, roughly 800 volunteers will gather at the San Jose Convention Center to build bikes for six hours using the funds raised at the Take a Swing Fore Kids tournament, and that'll provide thousands of bikes to local youths aged from toddler to teenager. The charity has built 11,000 bikes in its seven years. This past year's fighter golf tournament was successful to the tune of 2,400 new bikes being donated to the community. Turning Wheels for Kids hopes the notoriety the fighters brings can increase the impact they have because one more fighter means one more dollar for one more bike, which can have a lifetime benefit.
Founding board member Nancy Huff said the aim of the organization is to keep children active in a time of record obesity. Partnered with local physicians, they've found bikes reduce the body mass index of children in the community. It's about children staying healthy and building their self-esteem. Most importantly, it's about giving them the means to be a kid.
She points out fighters enjoy the event because in addition to golfing alongside NFL and San Francisco 49ers Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, they have a chance to reflect fondly on their first bike. UFC light heavyweight Kyle Kingsbury shares his story of receiving a Huffy at 6 years old, quickly showing off the scar he earned at 7. Sporting a fanny pack and oversized pink sunglasses, Kingsbury exemplifies the fighters' childlike enthusiasm in doing their part to roll new bikes into kids' lives around Christmas.
Velasquez describes the event as one of the more rewarding tasks on his increasingly lengthy to-do list as UFC heavyweight champion. Still, he has a hard time taking a shine to golf more than he does his time in the octagon.
"I'd be a golfer if golfing was much better [than hitting people]," Velasquez said, "but its not."

I would like to start a registry of Cave mirrors. I have started collecting mirror information from CN posts, the Cave Yahoo group, various CN, AM and eBay sales as well as the two Caves I own, and have put them in a spreadsheet ordered by inscription date.
In the column marked 'Documentation' I have indicated whether the source of my information was Personal Inspection, a Picture, or a text Description. One interesting facet of Cave mirrors is that some have "Cave Optical Co." inscribed in cursive writing while some are a block letter engraving and I have a column noting this. On entries where I only had a description of the mirror engraving, the style of the engraving is usually not mentioned.
Where the mirror was part of a complete scope I have noted the model. Many of the mirrors where a model is not listed were for sale as a loose mirror not in an OTA.
Under the owner's column I have noted what I know to be the owner's name or forum user ID. I have only listed full names if that person commonly posts his full name in Internet forums. If you are listed and would like me to delete your name or add your real name please PM me ASAP and I'll change this image.

Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) reported a 2.9% increase in April same store sales.
On the downside
Shares of Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) fell for the third day after Greenlight Capital fund manager David Einhorn questioned the nutritional supplement retailer's disclosures about its distributors.
ValueClick (Nasdaq: VCLK) reported higher first quarter earnings that topped analyst estimates but revenue fell short and the company forecast current quarter results below expectations.
Prudential Financial (NYSE: PRU) disappointed by falling to a greater than expected loss for the first quarter.
In the broad market, declining issues outpaced advancers by a margin of nearly 5 to 2 on the NYSE and by 3 to 1 on Nasdaq. The Russell 2000 which tracks small cap stocks tumbled 12 points to 806.

So as I was riding along yesterday, I began to wonder, as follows:
Given that I am only capable of a limited amount of effort, and that the more effort I put forth at one time, the less I can put forth at another, is it faster to put more effort into flat or downhill sections where I can go faster, or into climbs (if you can call anything in central Ohio a climb), where I go fairly slow, no matter how much effort I put forth.
My thoughts are that, since the faster I go, the more of my effort goes into fighting with the wind, it makes more sense to put a lot of effort into climbing, and take it easy when descending (or battling a headwind). It would seem easier to increase my speed given proportion climbing than it would descending.
Is this right, or am I overlooking something?

Smell the Coffee: Bits and pieces from the files
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For many years I've kept idea files. One is a folder pinned to a bulletin board, stuffed with random articles, photos, quotes and stories that got my wheels turning enough that I wanted to hold on to them.
The other idea files are on my computer, where I save random sentences or column starts that aren't big enough yet to stand on their own. They're like putting dough in a bowl, tossing a towel over the top and letting it rise.
But some never grow. They remain these little undeveloped fragments.
That I just can't bear to throw out.
The problem is, I'm a word hoarder, and tossing these fragments in the recycle bin when there isn't a ding or scratch on them seems wasteful and wrong. So while there may seem to be little connecting these random bits and pieces, know that they came from the same junk drawer. Building blocks from unfinished structures.
"Browsing the dim back corner of a musty antique shop, I opened an old book of poetry. Angels flew out from the pages! I caught the whiff of a soul. The ink seemed fresh as today. The tree of that paper still grows." -- Terri Guillemets
I've always had a thing for antiques. There's something about a piece having survived for so many years that I find appealing. Someone cherished it enough to keep it around, or needed it enough that it never stopped being used.
There's a logic to owning antique furniture that many never consider, which is that unless you wildly overpay at the start, your purchase generally isn't going to decrease in value. You can essentially buy a dresser, use it for 30 years, and then sell it for more than you paid. With new furniture, it begins losing its value the instant it leaves the store. It will never again be worth what you paid, at least not in your lifetime.
Speaking of antiques, my vintage station wagon, also known as a Mobile Storage Unit, has started having some unusual problems. It's become clumsy. Dropping things. Things you'd think a car would need. But considering this one keeps going without them, those parts couldn't have been all that essential.
The part that worries me, though, is that the rear hatch has reconfigured itself to where it now has a guillotine feature.
The late Gazette columnist Terry Marchal was a close friend of mine for many years. He used to "accidentally" drop his spare change where kids would find it because he liked how excited kids got over finding a nickel or dime.
If I'm ever near a playground and have change in my pocket, I toss it over the fence. In honor of Terry.
Why is it that hair seldom looks better than on the day you're scheduled to get it cut?
I'm getting tired of being lured to different stores by coupons that promise amazing deals, like $25 or $50 off, but when I attempt to use the coupon, I find it doesn't apply to darn near anything in the store.
A few other annoyances:

I have 1 PP. Definately going to apply for a tag this fall. Debating about what unit to apply for. Don't need a trophy buck, but wouldn't mind one either. Would really like good public access, and a good chance to harvest a respectable buck.
I have found with 1 PP, the SPC draw opens up a lot of country. So much so, that I am a little overwhelmed about where I should be focusing my attention.
With 1 PP, regular or special draw, what unit would you choose and why?

I predict the Sox will be looking to land Garza before the deadline. Possibly in a package including Doub and/or Middy. I know some of you don't like Garza but I would love to have him over Demp or Doub. Garza's career WHIP, SO to BB ratio and past success in the AL East speaks for itself. Put him on a team that like ours that can hit and I have no doubt he could be our #2 or 3 come playoff time.
Just a hunch but thats my prediction, or hope anyway.
And the talks begin.

NNSA Administrator Tom D'Agostino and Principal Deputy Administrator Neile Miller hosted New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, and Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam while the governors were in Washington, D.C. during the bi-annual National Governors Association meeting this weekend.NNSA leadership recognizes that governors serve as a source of strength not only in advancing NNSA goals in states where NNSA laboratories and production plants are located, but also in strengthening the organization's relationships with other key federal and state officials to move the nation's nuclear security agenda forward.
Approximately 80 ROTC cadets, midshipmen and cadre from California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona attended the recent ROTC Day at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The event helps strengthen the relationship between NNSA, LLNL and the Department of Defense.ROTC Day included an overview of LLNL's mission and a distinguished panel discussing "Future Careers in the Military and the Role Science and Engineering Will Play." Panel members included Brig. Gen. Sandra Finan, US Air Force and Principal Assistant Deputy Administrator for Military Application, Office of Defense Programs, NNSA; Dr. L. Wayne Brasure, US Air Force and Executive Director, Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center; LTC David R. James, Commander, US Army; CDR Tim Unrein, US Navy, Naval Postgraduate School; Dr. James C. Petrosky, Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering, Dept. of Engineering Physics, Air Force Institute of Technology; Thomas F. Gioconda, US Air Force (Retired) and Deputy Director for LLNL; George Sakaldasis, US Air Force (Retired), Assistant Director for Military Affairs for LLNL.The afternoon involved tours of the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the High Explosive Application Facility (HEAF) and the National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center (NARAC). Gen. Finan discussed her nuclear career experience, followed by a series of table top demonstrations and exhibits, allowing participants a chance to focus on LLNL projects that address their individual areas of interest.
Members of the Amarillo High School Science Bowl Team savor their victory along with Mark Padilla, assistant manager of Contract Administration and Business Management at the Pantex Site Office, who was on hand to present the awards at Saturday's Pantex High School Science Bowl. Amarillo High School won the event after a tense final round competition, edging out second place Lubbock High School in two straight games to take home the title. Amarillo High will represent the area at the National Science Bowl competition in Washington, D.C.About 150 volunteers helped to run the event, which marked the 21st year Pantex has sponsored the Science Bowl competition.
Michelle Foster of Y-12 Facilities, Infrastructure and Services, demonstrates the use of an ultrasonic detector with Oak Ridge High School sophomores Morgan Grady, left, and Samantha Bell at Y-12's New Hope Center on Thursday, Feb. 23, during the Introduce a Girl to Engineering event. This was a first-time Y-12 event in recognition of National Engineers Week (Feb. 19-25).Some 400 9th-12th grade girls from area schools were encouraged to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The girls were able to interact with women working in the engineering fields and experience hands-on activities at this event. Organizations, including Women in Nuclear, the American Nuclear Society, the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, also were on hand to talk with the girls.
"A Nuclear Family: Y-12 National Security Complex" is a four episode documentary film that provides a first-hand perspective on the reasons Y-12ers want to do their jobs well and how they view their work to support the nation's continued freedom. The Y-12 story is both one of technological challenges being met and people serving their nation by working on nuclear weapons to help win World War II, the Cold War and now fighting the War on Terror.February's episode, "The Manhattan District," aired last night on East Tennessee PBS and is available online at http://www.y12.doe.gov/about/history/video.php.Located in the Bear Creek Valley of East Tennessee, the Y-12 National Security Complex dates to the earliest days of the Manhattan Project, when the Army Corps of Engineers turned fields and forests into facilities that would help win World War II. Like the city of Oak Ridge that grew up around it, Y-12 would emerge from secrecy to be known worldwide for its role in creating the world's first atomic bomb used in warfare. Y-12 is more than just a place where people come to work; they are an integral part of national security. The series is giving viewers never-before-seen glimpses into the world-changing work done in Oak Ridge by East Tennesseans, some natives, some transplants, but all proud to work at Y-12."A Nuclear Family: Y-12 National Security Complex" is produced by Y-12 Video Services for broadcast by the East Tennessee Public Broadcasting System. The 30-minute programs are being shown the last Thursday of each month, January - "I've seen it," February - "The Manhattan District," March - "The race for peace," and April - "Lifting the veil." After each episode is broadcast, it is placed, along with several other historical videos, on the Y-12 National Security Complex's public web site.

"The United Way is an important organization that does so much to help people in need. We are proud to support its work."
President Obama has asserted that the "cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation." With new threats arising every day, it is important that we have a superior mechanism in place to monitor and protect our sensitive data. As we work to be a smarter, more modern and more secure NNSA, the new Joint Cybersecurity Coordination Center (JC3) will help us to better understand the health and security of our systems, data and networks complex-wide.The JC3 is a unique way to tackle cybersecurity threats. I am working with members of senior leadership from the Department of Energy and other federal agencies to spearhead a team that will help maintain constant surveillance of our sensitive information. By pooling the resources of multiple organizations, we will more efficiently protect our cyber assets from those with malicious intent.As issues arise, the JC3 will be able to pinpoint the problem area and work quickly to neutralize the threat. It will streamline information sharing, reporting and access to technical resources 24/7, while preserving individual participating organizations' unique requirements and information.This diagram shows how the JC3 will function:
The JC3 aims to consolidate more than 11 stand-alone security solutions into one super cyber security monitoring machine, saving all involved parties time and money. This pillar of the NNSA Network Vision is vital to national security and the health of our organization.Check back soon to hear more exciting news as we continue to work towards becoming a smarter, unified and more secure OneNNSA.
NNSA recently hosted the 2012 Stewardship Science Academic Alliances (SSAA) Symposium at the Grand Hyatt Washington in Washington, D.C.
The symposium highlighted the accomplishments and promotes interaction among SSAA program participants, sponsors and the NNSA national laboratories. The symposium was geared toward NNSA-supported researchers with grants or cooperative agreements in the areas such as low energy nuclear science, the study of properties of materials under extreme conditions, high energy density physics, and grants awarded under the National Laser Users' Facility Grant Program.
NNSA founded the SSAA to create opportunities for scientists in physics and other disciplines important to NNSA missions.

The most recent NNSA quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available here. The quarterly summary for the 1st quarter of FY2012 prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include some of the most sophisticated scientific research facilities in the world including, the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The summary also provides the number of experiments performed at each facility during each quarter of the fiscal year. The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile. An extraordinary set of science, technology and engineering (ST&E) facilities have been established in support of the stockpile stewardship program.

Re (good) oldfashioned dufferin bar cues.
I see that some (other) modern cues are (krappy) half spliced cues, and (shite) inlay-splices that look a bit like proper 4 pt splices but aint a proper splice at all.
SLIGHTLY BLUNT..... My old 1pce dufferin haz 4 sharp points and 4 slightly blunt points at the butt end.
VERY BLUNT............ Some of my cues hav very blunt points at the butt end (so too the Eliminators).
8 SHARP POINTS....... I see that some cues hav 4 sharp points at both ends of the splice.
All of theze "machined splices" are good and all look good -- I don't hav a preference. Apparently some cuesmiths wrap wrap over blunt points to hide them koz they reckon that blunt points look ugly.
MACHINE SPLICES. We call them pointy splices machined splices -- to differentiate from the olderfashioned single (1) splice, and the old butterfly splice (2), and the old double butterfly splice (4 splices) (which we now called hand-spliced).
But I see that machined splices kan be sort of made by sort of hand. Like whisler cues. mac.

Poppy, we generally have just let her cry because we find going in isn't effective in calming her down. She actually hasn't taken very long to adjust and,thankfully, we haven't had to deal with prolonged bouts of crying.
we had a 6 mo pedi visit last week and the doc told me that dd is capable of sleeping 10 straight hrs without eating. She is 15.5 lbs. she is going more like 7-8 hrs (from 7 pm to about 3-4 am), eating, and back until about 6:30.
I did dream feeds with my older dd but they didnt work with dd2 bc she wouldnt nurse well if she was sleeping/not totally hungry and then would wake up a few hours later anyway. It's worth a shot to try to drop the 2:00 am feed and keep the 11pm but I think your ultimate goal is to stretch him out for a longer period of time so eventually you will have to drop the dream feed.
Just remember - as with all sleep issues - this too shall pass.

June 1, 2016
Former Republican senator, Chuck Hagel, has been sworn in as U.S. defense secretary.
Mississippi's two U.S. senators split on the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary.
Sen. Thad Cochran was one of four Republicans who voted Tuesday for Hagel, a Republican former senator from Nebraska.
Cochran said in a statement that, "Hagel feels strongly that the United States should be the most capable military power in the world."
Cochran also said Hagel "believes the United States must continue to be committed to Israel's security and its ability to defend its borders."
Republican Sen. Roger Wicker voted against confirmation, saying Hagel has a "record of troubling statements and positions, which fall well outside the bipartisan mainstream."
Wicker also said U.S. troops and allies needed more comprehensive answers from Hagel during the confirmation process.
Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby voted in favor of the nomination. Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions did not.
Two other Republicans joined Cochran and Shelby in approving Hagel's nomination, Mike Johanns of Nebraska and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Hagel was confirmed on a 58-41 vote.

We're as dedicated to paving as you are
The new highway-class pavers from Volvo have been designed to take you to the next level of paving, with independent auger and conveyor systems, automatic conveyor tensioning, and 360-degree operator visibility for full view of the whole paving operation.
Features like these, borne of the Blaw-Knox legacy, have combined with our never-ending commitment to reliable performance to make Volvo the name to trust in road equipment.
Decades of innovations
For years, these pavers have featured innovations that were ahead of their time but quickly became paving industry standards, including:
Unsurpassed operator visibility
Operator seats extend beyond the edge of the machine for improved visibility with an unobstructed view of the auger tunnel and hopper. Two consoles allow the paver to be operated from the left or right side of the machine, with paving consoles grouped by function and backlit.
Range of screeds
Volvo offers a range of screeds with front or rear mounted extensions to give you the best paving quality, uniformity and smoothness. Add or remove extensions in minutes with the paver's quick coupling system.
Improved material flow control
Four standard ultrasonic sensors automatically regulate the precise delivery and flow of material to match the paver's speed and ensure smooth paving.
Superior stability
Volvo exclusive load-level steering improves the stability and extends the life of the bogie wheels; optional two- or four-wheel drive versions improve tractive effort and gradeability (P7170). The tracked P7110 model has the highest contact surface area in the paving industry (P7110).
Volvo Tier 4i engine
Powerful, fuel-efficient Volvo D8 235 horsepower (175kW) engine uses a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and an active, semi-automatic regeneration process that does not interrupt productivity, operation or performance.
Environmentally friendly cleaning
An integrated track coating system is standard on all P7000 Series pavers. The environmentally friendly Blaw-Kote coating system can be used on the complete machine and applied to the tracks with the push of a button.
For more information about the Volvo P7000 highway-class pavers, download the Volvo P7110 and P7170 Series paver brochure.

Charlottesville, VA (Sports Network) - Akil Mitchell recorded a double-double
as he helped guide the Virginia Cavaliers to a 46-38 win over the Tennessee
Volunteers at John Paul Jones Arena.
Mitchell scored 13 points to go with 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers (7-2) in
their sixth straight win. Joe Harris, who made the only three-point basket for
Virginia, chipped in 13 points to go with six boards
The Volunteers (4-3) were paced by Trae Golden with a team-high 11 points.
Jarnell Stokes contributed nine boards and five points in the team's second
straight setback.
Virginia made 11-of-28 from the floor through the first 20 minutes of action,
giving it a 25-16 lead at the half. Tennessee was held to 8-of-25 from the
field and missed all eight chances behind the three-point line in the period.
Tennessee made some progress in the second half, hitting 3-of-11 from beyond
the arc and holding Virginia to 8-of-25 from the field. The Cavaliers still
managed to outscore the Volunteers 22-21 in the frame for the win.
The hosts survived despite shooting just 35.8 percent from the floor,
including 1-of-8 behind the three-point line. Tennessee also had trouble
shooting from the field (.288) and made only 3-of-19 behind the arc.
The 38 points by the Vols marks the third-lowest output by the school since
1985 when the shot clock came into play.

LANSING - When Rob Zitzelsberger assumed the reins of the Bridgeport girls' basketball team two years ago he didn't intend for it to be a long-term proposition.
Already the school's principal, he said at the time ''I'm going to get the program on solid footing and step away.''
Two years later, he's still there.
''It's quite enjoyable,'' Zitzelsberger said.
The Bulldogs have been one of the feel-good stories of the area basketball scene this winter. Standing at 11-0, Bridgeport is ranked eighth in Ohio Division IV and sits atop a talented OVAC Class AA with once-beaten Wheeling Central, unbeaten Clay-Battelle and Shadyside lurking just behind.
It's been a while since Bridgeport has packed this much of a punch. And while things looked promising on paper this preseason, seeing his team actually fulfill those expectations is a point of pride for its coach.
''I think the team's meshed very well,'' Zitzelsberger said. ''We brought Maclaine (Murad) in and Caitlyn (Kroll), who's a freshman.
''Everyone is playing well.''
The stars appear to have aligned at just the right time for the Bulldogs. The team already had a core of talented veterans. Then, with the addition of Murad, who transferred from St. John, and Kroll, the Bulldogs were strengthened.
Kroll is the team's leading scorer at about 17 points per game. The 5-foot-8 rookie entered the varsity program with plenty of expectations and so far has exceeded them, according to her coach.
''She's very talented,'' Zitzelsberger said.
As for Murad, she'd already established herself as a good player at St. John.
''She is probably the hardest worker on the team,'' Zitzelsberger said of the team's second-leading scorer. ''She just goes really hard in practice and is a good foul shooter.''
The rest of the Bulldogs starting lineup is filled with three familiar faces led by senior captains Brittany Higgenbotham and Kaitlyn Benda.
''She's our big rebounder and our force in the middle,'' Zitzelsberger said of Higgenbotham. ''We play a lot of man and she's adapted to that very well.''
In Benda, Zitzelsberger said he has a player who optimizes the term hustle.
''When there's a loose ball she usually ends up getting it,'' he said.
Junior captain Nicole Smolenak rounds out the starting five.
''She directs the team and she's like another coach on the floor,'' Zitzelsberger said of his point guard. ''And for 5-foot-4 she gets a lot of rebounds. She also leads us in assists and steals.''
Adding talent off the bench are sophomore Briana Massey sophomore Keri Renzler, junior Amber Millard and junior Ali Baker.
Zitzelsberger said the team is the most unselfish he's ever been associated with.
''They want to win and they don't care who scores,'' he said.
That commitment to excellence hasn't been lost on the school's student body of the community. Zitzelsberger said a case of ''Bulldogs Fever'' has struck.
''We have what we call the 'Dog Pound' and it's full every home game with students,'' Zitzelsberger pointed out. ''They have white outs, black outs. It's exciting because of the buzz surrounding the school and the community.''
Zitzelsberger also noted the support of the team's parents group has been tremendous.
Bridgeport has had many ''signature wins,''one of which took place last month in Hannibal against a talented River squad.
''We were down seven and we just never gave up,'' Zitzelsberger recalled. ''We were looking for that team unity and in that game it just seemed like everyone stepped up.
''All the players cheer each other on and they get a long really well.
''It's fun to coach this team.''

Call our certified SCUBA Instructors
Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
This accessory cuff came free with my BCD but in all honesty Ill probably never use it. I did look it over a bit after I received it but couldnt figure out how I would attach it to my BCD. I guess it might come in handy if I was going to take along a spare air bottle but thats the only time that I would consider using it. Im not a tech diver so I really dont have a need to drag along any extra gear with me, I find that anything I need can either fit into a pocket on my BCD or clip onto a D-ring.
Was this review helpful? Yes No
177 out of 379 people found this review helpful.
a call to scuba.com and a quick talk to a techy helped me correctly the right sized bcd. i found the personalized adjustments to the bcd were quick and intuitive and if i gain or lose a few pounds i wont need to buy a new bcd, i can simply redo the adjustments and the velcro closing cumberband will fit me as well as it does now. while i dont find the inflater quite as easy to use as the one on my old mares bcd it is still easy to use, i think if it had about a 3" longer hose that would fix the problem. (if i had of bought this bcd first, i would have probably thought the hose on the mares was too long

51st Fresno AutoramaWritten by Eric Geisert on August 1, 2010 Personally Invited By Blackie Gejeian
In television, as with the movies, the award season seems to roll around at the same time every year. Invariably, you'll find someone who has won a statue or a trophy and when they have a chance to say something to a crowd it usually goes like this: "It was great just to be nominated ..."
It's probably the most genuine emotion expressed at one of these functions, as being included in a group of your peers who are considered to be the best at what they do might actually be a career highlight. That's how each and every one of the thousands of people feel who have gotten a personal invitation from Blackie Gejeian to attend his Fresno Autorama through the years. Now in his 84th year, Gejeian has spent the past five decades culling the best of the best show cars from different venues around the country to make up the guest list for the Fresno Autorama. The first 38 years of the California-based event were held at a local fairground before the city built a new convention center downtown. Gejeian immediately set up shop and the annual event has been there ever since (he's only missed one year-when the center's construction wasn't finished and wasn't ready to open to the public).
Most folks consider it an honor just to be asked to display their ride at the Fresno Autorama because, as those who have experienced it knows, Gejeian puts an enormous amount of time, effort, thought, and sweat into each and every show, which is mostly due to the deep respect he has for the car owners and builders. Gejeian goes all out for the folks who bring cars to the Autorama and, in return, people really go out of their way for him.
One example of this mutual admiration is with Doug Weigel, who brought a custom '16 C-cab milk truck to the show from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Placed up front in the Nostalgia Room (which people pass through on their way into the main hall), most people would think it a fine example of an all-out show car, but upon closer examination they'd find it was built from nothing in just 90 days! It was only after a confirmation from Gejeian that there would be a spot for such a special car that Weigel started working on it, which not only included building the body from scratch but some of the wood found inside the vehicle was cut, hewn, and shaped from trees found on his property!
As it generally happens, there is a mad dash when a car is set to debut somewhere and the time for the builder gets tight. But when Gejeian says yes, they work that much harder to get their cars done because they know he's going all out for them, too. Only if you attend every show in the country would you have the chance to see the list of impressive show winners who attend the Fresno show. It's not uncommon to see the current America's Most Beautiful Roadster winner across the aisle from this year's Ridler recipient, which is shown just a few feet from a top show contender from the Midwest. Some folks use the Fresno Autorama as a place to debut their vehicles, too, because it's the only opportunity to see this high a caliber of cars all gathered in one place at one time, and yet somehow Gejeian manages to pull it off year after year.
But even Gejeian says, he "was surprised this year by the quality of workmanship," and that's saying something considering his 50th show last year was a high watermark for him. But the dedication he sees in today's builders reminds him of his own days when he built and drove his cars all around the San Joaquin Valley in the '40s and '50s. Gejeian was so impressed with a few of the folks who took the time to restore their shop and/or push trucks from decades ago that he gave four of them a special spot in the middle of the Nostalgia Room. Only a former dirt track owner and racer like Gejeian would think of showcasing those types of hot rods in a high-end indoor car show.
And it's Gejeian's history and hands-on experience that separate him from most any other car show promoter. His understanding of what it really takes to build a car allows him a special insight when he announces his choice for Builder of the Year. Having great admiration for who he calls "true builders who really know how to turn a wrench", like Bailon, Barris, Winfield, or DeRosa, Gejeian's pick for this year's Builder of the Year went to Maynard Albertson, who passed away at the end of last year. Gejeian wanted to honor the man who had done so much (so well) with his cars, and who built many cars through the years (including the black Model A sedan on STREET RODDER's July '07 cover) and has shown them at the Autorama.
Another unique aspect of the Fresno Autorama is there are only two "Best" trophies handed out for the show: Best Rod and Best Custom-there is no Second Place or "best use of rock salt" awards. Best Custom was given to Gene and Earlene Elpers from Evansville, Indiana, for their Mint Green '46 Chevy pickup, and Best Rod went to Jerry Magnuson for his '32 Muroc roadster. Gejeian also surprised a few folks when he announced he would take 2011off from producing the Autorama to address some nagging health issues, but plans to be back in 2012. Concerning the '10 show, Gejeian understated the fact when he said he "was happy with the way it turned out," and so was everyone else.

|Late corn harvest delayed yet again due to snow
|Written by Chris Lee
November is more than half over and there are still many fields with standing corn left all around northeast Colorado.
This year's harvest is two to three weeks later than normal, according to Steve Young of Grainland Coop. With the 1.5 inches of snowfall on Sunday, Nov. 15, farmers were forced to sit out another couple of days to let things dry up.
Both Young and Steve Bahnsen of Paoli Farmers Co-op expect harvest to expand well into the first half of December.
Initial numbers from the 2009 corn harvest show moisture a little on the wet side. Both Grainland Coop and Paoli Farmers Co-op said moisture is running between 17-18 percent.
Numbers show harvest is about 25-30 percent complete in both places as of Monday, Nov. 16.
Young said the corn coming in is a little wetter than last year. With snow falling as early as it did this year and the moisture included with that snow, everything was slowed down and delayed.
Some farmers were holding off in hopes of letting the corn dry out a little more and some were just ready to get into the fields and were picking a little wetter corn than normal, according to Young.
Young said irrigated yields are down 10-15 percent from last year while dryland yields are up. The wet and cool summer the area experienced was beneficial to the dryland corn.
"The cool weather in general was not as good to the irrigated corn," Young said.
Irrigated farmers would like to see a lot of heat and that wasn't the case this past summer.
"Most of the fields are dry enough where the farmers can go. There are still some fields that are too wet," Young said.
The quality of the corn is still good despite the later harvest, according to both Young and Bahnsen.
There has been a lot of talk about mold on ears, according to Young. "We've seen a little bit of that but it doesn't seem to be a big problem," he said. "I would say test weights are lighter than what they were a year ago and I think that kind of goes along with the cooler weather."
Young said the corn closer to the state line was hit the most by hail and storms this past summer. He mentioned there were some places where the corn wasn't even good enough to be harvested.
Beet harvest near completion
The area beet harvest is nearly complete, according to Justin Herman, agriculturalist for Western Sugar. Herman said they have about 270 acres left to dig and hope to be finished by Friday, Nov. 20 or Saturday, Nov. 21, weather permitting.
Herman said the Holyoke crop is below average. A big reason for this was the amount of moisture received this year. The beets also saw a yield reduction due to the hail. Herman said there were some good fields and then some well below average.
The recent cold temperatures have affected the later part of harvest. Herman said they have seen some frost in the crowns and have made an effort to have those beets hauled directly to the factory.

http://mmajunkie.com Rich Clementi has been around the game a long time, so he knows there are pros and cons to just about everything in MMA.
When it comes to his current home in Bellator, that's no exception. Clementi loves Bellator's tournament format because he believes title challengers all earn their shots. But at the same time, getting that shot sure can be taxing.
Clementi (45-21-1 MMA, 2-1 BFC) next faces Marcin Held (11-2 MMA, 3-1 BFC) in the promotion's lightweight tournament semifinals, just a month after his opening-round win.
That's the hard part for many fighters when it comes to Bellator's 12-week season. The tournament format means fighters have to go every four weeks to win. For Clementi, nearly 70 fights into his pro career, that's a major grind.
"I surely wish it was staggered, or all in one night – just get it out of the way, suck it up and let the toughest dude reap the rewards," Clementi on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "It is a little tough, especially for a person like me who has to drop a significant amount of weight, because I have to keep my weight down. I usually bulk up 10 pounds heavier for my fight, but I've had to watch doing that because the other fight is right around the corner, and I do struggle with my weight sometimes.
"But my weight's good right now, and I'm just looking to get past and beat Held."
Clementi said he often walks around at 185-190 pounds, making the cut to 155 an extreme one. But with such a quick turnaround between the quarterfinals, which for Clementi took place at Bellator 77 earlier this month in Reading, Pa., and the semifinals, which will be at Bellator 81 on Nov. 16, that practice just isn't possible.
But at the same time, it's the sheer toughness of the format that has attracted Clementi to Bellator in the first place.
"At this level, especially in the Bellator tournament, everybody's tough," Clementi said. "And I'll tell you, that's what I'm a big fan of Bellator about. You don't have any politics. You don't have guys skipping the line getting favors and getting spots. It's honest. The guy who's going to get the next title shot is going to deserve it. And I can appreciate it and I'm a fan of the Bellator organization because of that."
In the opening round, Clementi found out that Alexander Sarnavskiy (20-1 MMA, 0-1 BFC) was tough. It took a hard-fought split decision to get Clementi through to the semifinals, and he handed Sarnavskiy the first loss of his career to spoil the highly touted Russian's Bellator debut.
"It was a tough kid, but those are the types of fights I like," Clementi said. "If you look at my record, I've never been brought up and just handed guys. I'm a guy that loves to fight and the tougher the challenge, the more excited I get about it."
He gets another tough kid in the semis in Held, who at 20 already has 16 fights on his resume and a four-fight streak to go with it.
A win over Held to reach the finals, where he would meet the winner of the other semifinal bout between Ricardo Tirloni (15-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) and Dave Jansen (18-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC), would be the kind of cap Clementi is looking for as his career starts to wind down.
Admittedly stung for a while after the UFC cut him loose after going 5-5 in four separate stints with the promotion, Clementi would like nothing more than the kind of payday that comes with winning a Bellator tournament – $100,000 – and the potential hardware he could get with a lightweight title shot.
He credits a change in mentality for his current run and for the potential of reaching the top of Bellator's 155-pound class. He stopped taking last-minute fights and he stopped fighting at welterweight, deciding to only fight at lightweight, where he believed he would have the best chance at success.
"I'm on a nice little win streak now and I think it's really a reflection of me stepping up and not making those mistakes," he said. "It's such a competitive game nowadays that you can't give an advantage to anybody. And I felt like I was doing that and doing myself a little bit of an injustice. I'm looking to finish off these last few years of fighting and put a stamp on things.
"I'm feeling good for this. Im a hard-nosed type cat, and nothing's going to stop me from trying to reach my goal, no matter what it is."

Man Pleads Not Guilty To Murder of Spencer Man
SPENCER, Iowa (AP) - The second person charged with beating to death a northwest Iowa man has pleaded not guilty.
21-year-old Cody Millard, of Spencer, entered the plea to a charge of first-degree murder.
Millard and 21-year-old Christopher Fitzpatrick, also of Spencer, have been charged with killing Edward Kitto. The 59-year-old Kitto was found beaten and unresponsive in the backyard of his Spencer home on Aug. 27. He died at a hospital on Sept. 8.
Fitzpatrick has pleaded not guilty to the murder and two other charges.
Authorities Identify Lake Drowning Victim
SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have released the name of a man who apparently drowned in West Lake Okoboji in northern Iowa over the weekend.
The Dickinson County sheriff's office says a relative found 30-year-old Andrew Goll, of Des Moines, in the water Saturday afternoon.
Officials say Goll had been working on a dock in the area. His death is under investigation.
Romney Coming Back To Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Mitt Romney plans to campaign Wednesday in Cedar Rapids, making it a busy day for presidential candidates in the state.
Romney, the Republican nominee, will speak at a rally Wednesday night at a Cedar Rapids airport hangar. On Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama will speak at a rally at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds in Davenport.
Their appearances will follow Monday's night's final debate and come less than two weeks before the Nov. 6 election.
Most polls show a tight race nationally. Iowa is among nine battleground states that are expected to decide who wins the presidential race.
Man Awaits Sentencing For Slaying of Landlord
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A man who pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in the slaying of an Iowa City landlord won't be sentenced until next year.
Charles Thompson's sentencing has been rescheduled because a co-defendant's trial has been postponed.
Thompson was charged with first-degree murder in the 2009 death of 64-year-old John Versypt, of Cordova, Ill., A judge declared a mistrial in his case a year ago. Thompson then pleaded guilty to
accessory after the fact and agreed to testify in the murder trial of Justin Marshall.
Marshall's trial has been delayed until Jan. 22. Thompson's sentencing hearing is now set for Feb. 11.
A third man, Courtney White, is scheduled to go to trial for first-degree murder on Jan. 8.
Farmers Are Nearly Done With Harvest
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa farmers are very close to wrapping up this year's harvest, but work was delayed by some much-needed rain.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says 93 percent of the corn crop has been harvested, which is a month ahead of schedule. Ninety-six percent of the soybean crop is in, almost three weeks ahead of normal.
The USDA says in Monday's weekly report that widespread rain helped Iowa's pasture and range land, but 73 percent is in very poor or poor condition. Hay supplies are running about 42 percent
A slow-moving storm system brought rain to the state on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The statewide average was a-half inch, just shy of the weekly normal of 0.56 inches.
Deputy Cleared Of Charges For Shooting Man
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says no charges will be filed against a Van Buren County deputy who shot and killed a man last week.
Authorities say Deputy Jon Tharp fired one shot that killed 59-year-old Robert Dooley, of Brighton, on Oct. 16. Dooley was shot on Iowa Highway 2 near Cantril. Deputies were investigating reports
of a man wearing a military uniform and armed with a rifle walking along the highway and making obscene gestures.
The agency says deputies ordered Dooley to drop the rifle. Dooley raised the rifle toward the deputies, and Tharp shot him. The agency says Dooley's weapon was an air rifle that looked like a
Winchester lever action rifle.
The DCI says Monday that Tharp's actions were justified and no charges will be filed.

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - The Central Florida senior class tallied
their school-record 34th win, but it was the sophomore quarterback Blake
Bortles who led the way.
And the Knights left Conference USA with a bang.
Bortles threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in UCF's 38-17 rout
of Ball State in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg.
The Knights (10-4) will head to the Big East next season.
Bortles accumulated 271 yards through the air on 22-of-32 efficiency and
added 79 yards rushing for UCF, which suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss
to Tulsa in the Conference USA title game that would've given it a berth in
the Liberty Bowl. The consolation for UCF was getting to play about 100 miles
from campus.
The Knights were an astounding 9-of-12 on third down.
Latavius Murray ran for 74 yards on 21 totes and a score, while adding two
touchdowns receiving in the victory.
Keith Wenning was 22-of-34 for 218 yards and two touchdowns for the Cardinals
(9-4), who were looking for the school's first-ever bowl victory.
Ball State had won six in a row coming in.

Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - Jarred Shaw scored 15 points and pulled
down eight rebounds before fouling out, contributing to Utah State's 80-78
overtime win against the Santa Clara Broncos in non-conference action at the
Leavey Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Aggies (4-1) were Danny Berger, Preston
Medlin and Kyisean Reed with 11 points apiece, the latter also coming up with
seven rebounds and four steals off the bench.
The Broncos (5-1) were paced by Kevin Foster who erupted for 27 points,
followed by Evan Roquemore with 23 points and a game-high nine assists.
A close game throughout, both teams shot just under 45 percent from the floor
and turned the ball over 10 times in the first half, which meant the slightest
edge by either side could determine the outcome. In this case, the Aggies made
one more field goal in the frame in order to grab a 34-33 edge at the break.
In the second half Utah State converted a sizzling 70 percent from the floor,
but still Santa Clara kept hanging around and the Aggies needed a three-
pointer by Medlin with three seconds left in regulation to knot the score at
70-70 and send it to overtime.
In the extra session, Medlin again made a key three-pointer midway through to
give the visitors a four-point edge, but SCU's Roquemore responded late with a
triple of his own to draw the Broncos to within one point, 79-78, with 12
seconds remaining. Berger connected on the second of his two free throws with
six seconds to play, which still left the Broncos with one final gasp, but
this time Roquemore missed the mark from long range at the buzzer.
With a 5-0 mark heading into play against USU, the Broncos were off to their
best start since the 1968-69 campaign.

If you're just starting out with computers and have never used a mouse before, this demo is for you. You'll learn how to move the pointer on your screen, how and when to use the mouse buttons, and how to use the mouse to select text in a document.
The mouse is like an extension of your hand. It lets you select and interact with anything on your screen, and makes getting around Windows as easy as pointing and clicking.
The mouse sits on your desk or table and is designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, with the index finger on the left button.
When you move the mouse in different directions, the arrow on the screen follows the same movement. This arrow is called the pointer and it always follows the movement of the mouse. Keep in mind you can lift the mouse and reposition it if you need to.
Now let's see how to click.
The left mouse button is used to click, but left-handed people can switch the mouse settings to reverse the buttons.
By clicking the Start button, you can open a document that needs some changes. When you quickly click two times—or double-click—the same word, notice how the word becomes selected. This tells the computer that you want to do something with the selected text, like make it bold.
What if you want to select more than just a single word—this entire paragraph for instance? At the top left of the paragraph, you click and hold down the left mouse button. And with the mouse button still pressed, drag down and to the right, across the entire paragraph. After the paragraph is selected, you release the mouse button.
See how the paragraph is now selected, like the word was earlier? After selecting the text, you're ready to do something with it.
To move this paragraph to another location, you point the mouse over the selected paragraph, click and hold down the left mouse button, and then drag the paragraph. When it's where you want it, you release the mouse button. This is called dragging and dropping.
If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can use it to move around in a document. To scroll down, you roll the wheel toward you. To scroll up, you roll the wheel away from you.
Now that you're comfortable with these basics, let's try right-clicking. Right-clicking means clicking the right mouse button. You can right-click just about anything in Windows, including text, pictures, and icons. When you right-click an item, a menu like this one will display the things you can do with the item, such as opening it, copying it, or deleting it.
Remember: point and click. That's all you need to master the mouse. Give it a try.
