Bombshell. Huge, huge loss.
Huh. I was expecting him to leave before long, but I had assumed it would be for a head coaching job, not a lateral move.
This is going to sting but it's not the end of the world.
Finally this broke.
Kansas wears Adidas.
that sucks
This sucks, but wish him all the best!
Congrats to him. I hope everything goes fantastically well for everyone.

I was always afraid this day would come. I hope it all works out for him.
I truly expected Otzelberger to stay at Iowa State and have his first head coaching job here if and when Fred leaves for the NBA. Best of luck T.J. and thank you for your hard work as a Cyclone!
Well shucks... that sucks
I dream of a better tomorrow... where chickens can cross roads and not have their motives questioned
Ouch. Hope the recruiting holds up.
Sucks. Otz is a great guy, taking a lateral move and given the circumstances hurts but wish him nothing but the best.

Orlando, FL (Detroit Free Press) -- Kim English will be 24 when the regular season starts. Ditto for Kyle Singler.
In this age of one-and-done prospects, the Detroit Pistons will have two rookies who spent four years in college.
That steadiness was on display Monday when the duo helped spark the Pistons' summer-league team to a 76-73 victory over the Utah Jazz at the Amway Center.
English, who played at Missouri, noted the similarities with Singler, a 2011 second-round pick of the Pistons who spent last season overseas.
"Singler is a pro," said English, one of the Pistons' second-round picks last month. "He played a year in Spain this year, four years at Duke.
"He's not surprised by anything. You know what you're going to get every night from guys like him. The shots might not fall every night, but he competes and that's something us two in particular as older rookies is (we) definitely compete every time we step on the floor."
English scored 18; Singler 14 on 6-for-8 shooting. But the Jazz hit the Pistons' second unit with a 19-0 run in the first half to take a 34-25 halftime lead.
The Pistons regained control quickly with English and Singler helping the cause.

Today AerialX has released a new version of PSGroove that allows you to use the apploader function.
Apploader (the 1st folder above install packages) allows you to run PS3 pkg's without installing them, it can also run eboot.bin's with some modification.
Download: PSGroove with Apploader Payload / PSGroove with Apploader Payload and Peek/Poke Syscalls / PSGroove with Apploader Payload Guide / Precompiled Hex Codes
To quote: My PSGroove fork is up! Functions are relocatable and it includes the USB stick apploader payload.
This fork comes with multiple payloads, which you can enable by editing port1_config_descriptor.S. All payloads have been rearranged so that they do not use hardcoded addresses anymore; you can rewrite and resize functions without worrying about offsetting others.
### Default Payload
The default payload performs the basic PSGroove exploit; it allows you to install and run unsigned packages.
### Apploader Payload
This payload makes use of the /app_home/PS3_GAME menu item. You may place an application on a USB drive under the PS3_GAME folder to run it without installing a package.
Note that simply extracting a .pkg onto the USB drive is not quite enough for a program to run. EBOOT.BIN must be slightly modified to boot properly.

Dunnellon city manager resigns, citing personal reasons
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 10:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 10:34 p.m.
DUNNELLON — Dunnellon City Manager Lisa Algiere resigned Wednesday during a city workshop, citing personal reasons for ending her four-year career at the small community in southwest Marion County abutting the Rainbow River.
The announcement to call it quits is the latest chapter for the city of 2,000 people with a tumultuous history of ongoing political squabbles stemming from lengthy and expensive environmental lawsuits and struggling business investments.
"She's running from a burning building," Dunnellon Mayor Nathan Whitt told the Star-Banner before the announcement.
Whitt said that while many of the city's problems were the doing of its council, some of the blame has to be laid at the doorstep of Algiere and the city's lawyers, hired by the hour from Orlando.
Algiere could not be reached for reaction to Whitt's comments.
Whitt also asked that the council discuss during its Monday regular council meeting firing its hired law firm, Fowler, O'Quinn, Feeney and Sneed.
Algiere asked that her resignation take effect Friday, but that she would be available to help her replacement for the next 60 days.
Algiere said her husband has a new job in Tampa and must commute four hours a day to work.
She said the commute has placed "a strain on my family. We need to move to the Tampa area."
Council member Penny Fleeger thanked her for her work in Dunnellon.
"You've done a wonderful job. Dunnellon has never looked better," she said. "You've put us on the right track. Thank you for your foresight."
As for Algiere's replacement, the council will discuss Monday if it wants to hire a part-time, interim manager.

Jeff Rexroad survived a beating from Lucas Pimenta and now has a little hardware to show for it.
Rexroad took plenty of punishment from Pimenta in the first round, and the Brazilian appeared to be close to getting a stoppage. But Rexroad rallied to submit the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with a slick second-round arm-in triangle choke to win the interim welterweight title at Legacy FC 14.
Legacy FC 14 took place Friday at Houston's Arena Theater with a main card airing on AXS TV (formerly HDNet).
Welterweight champ Jorge "Macaco" Patino (27-13-1) injured his knee, and Pimenta moved in with just about a week's notice to fight Rexroad for the interim belt. And it looked like a great move early as Pimenta tagged Rexroad with a big right hand, then came on stronger as Rexroad covered up.
But Rexroad survived the first-round onslaught and looked for a defensive takedown to regain his wits. Pimenta, though, landed another crisp right hand – and this time Rexroad immediately reached for his left eye and looked to the referee to get a stoppage for the apparent poke.
When the bout was halted, the cageside doctor asked Rexroad if he could see. His response? "Ehhh. I'll work through it." And he is no doubt glad he did.
But after the restart, Pimenta landed an easy takedown and started working ground-and-pound till Rexroad was able to work back to the feet. And once there, he ate bunches of left hands and was fully wobbled. But again, he survived. And though bloodied up, he was able to get the fight into the second round.
In the second frame, with Pimenta on top looking to do some damage, Rexroad remained patient. And with an omoplata within reach, Rexroad instead weaved his right hand under Pimenta's neck, and then lightning-quick swung his left leg up for an arm-in triangle. And nearly as quickly, Pimenta was forced to tap as Rexroad snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
"Nothing really hurt me except the one overhand got me right in the eyeball," Rexroad said. "I couldn't see for a few seconds. I tried to work through it, and I'm glad I did. I was really looking forward to fighting 'Macaco' this time – I respect him a lot. I think the two styles will match up really well. When he gets better, I'd be honored to fight him."
Rexroad (6-1) won for the fifth straight time – all under the Legacy banner. He moves on to a likely title unification bout against Patino once the champion returns. Pimenta (8-2) had his eight-fight win streak snapped with the loss.
Sampo uses effective striking to upset Banuelos' flyweight debut
When the scores were read off – three 30-27s – and Antonio Banuelos didn't hear his name called, he looked stunned at the outcome. But whether he liked it or not, Josh Sampo kept him from being able to find any rhythm throughout 15 minutes and upset the UFC veteran with a unanimous decision sweep.
Halfway through the first round, Banuelos turned the tables on Sampo, a strong wrestler, and landed a takedown. But from the bottom, Sampo looked to trap Banuelos' arm, then eventually easily worked his way to his feet, and with 30 seconds left he shot for a takedown that likely sealed the round in his favor.
For the rest of the fight, Banuelos looked to counter-punch, but nearly everything he threw came up short – and Sampos countered the counters with strikes that were finding their marks. He opened up a nice cut near Banuelos' left eye that had blood streaming down his chest throughout the third round.
Sampos said keeping the fight standing, rather than working his core strength – wrestling – was intentional.
"I knew he was going to have an awesome wrestling defense and it was going to be work to get in," Sampo said. "But I've been working diligently with my standup – and if I can beat him there, beat him there. It feels awesome. I'm so blessed that Legacy gave me this opportunity to fight such a world-class athlete."
Sampo (8-2) won for the second straight time and fifth time in his past six fights. Banuelos (20-9), who was making his flyweight debut after a long stint at bantamweight, lost for the second straight time – and first time since a loss to Bibiano Fernandes in DREAM this past December.
Peterson survives Williams' big rights, wins by omoplata
Cody Williams beat Steven Peterson at least three times on Friday night. But he couldn't finish him. Williams' heavy hands were on the money early and often against Peterson. But Peterson, the 3-to-1 favorite, displayed a sturdy chin, survived Williams' big right hands and went on to finish his shorter opponent with a second-round omoplata. Williams came with a big barrage early, behind that powerful right, but Peterson survived. But 20 seconds later, Williams landed another giant right and again put Peterson on his butt. But again, Williams wanted Peterson back up. And perhaps for good reason. Once the second round's deep waters hit, Peterson appeared to have plenty left in the gas tank and worked masterfully on the ground looking for an armbar that Williams wisely was able to eventually roll out of. But once Peterson adjusted and latched onto an omoplata and pushed forward, Williams was too gassed to work his way out. Peterson (8-2) won for the second straight time and sixth time in his past seven outings. Williams (4-3) now has alternated wins and losses for his past six fights.
Krantz taps Farran with first-round rear-naked choke
Brandon Farran made things look pretty right out of the gate against Derrick Krantz, but it was Krantz's ground work that wound up being a thing of beauty. Farran opened with a quick hip toss, then moved into the north-south position. He tried to roll Krantz over, but Krantz latched on to his neck, moved to the back, and Farran couldn't get out. Once Krantz rolled the rear-naked choke over, Farran had to tap just 1:11 into the fight. Krantz (13-6), a Bellator vet, won for just the second time in five fights. But all 13 of his career wins have come by stoppage – with 12 coming in the first round and now seven by submission. Farran (7-5) had a three-fight win streak snapped with the loss. His past five fights have all been quick, win or loss, average about 50 seconds each.
Batres uses relentless knee attack to stop Harris
Lester Batres had a plan of attack against Jon Harris, and he executed it to perfection. Batres looked early for a Thai clinch against Harris and got it, and from there he was off the races with knees. Eventually, he landed one just a smidgen too low, though, and Harris got time to recover. On the restart, Harris came out swinging and tried to catch Batres off guard. But Batres went right back to the Thai clinch and started working knees again. As Harris covered up, Batres transitioned to punches and quickly put Harris to the canvas. Once there, his shots were precise enough and plentiful enough to get the stoppage. Batres (3-1) won for the third straight time and for the second straight outing stopped his opponent in the first round. After starting his career 6-1, Harris (6-3) now has lost two straight and falls to 2-2 under the Legacy banner. In February, he lost by first-round TKO to Chidi Njokuani, brother of UFC fighter Anthony Njokuani.
MTV "Caged" star Schnell wins pro debut, splits with Hollis
It wasn't the prettiest of victories for Matt Schnell, but he'll certainly take it. The star of the MTV docu-reality series "Caged" did enough in the eyes of two of three judges to take a split decision against Ryan Hollis in both fighters' MMA debuts. Schnell opened the fight with a big right hand to back Hollis up early, and another had Hollis on the mat 30 seconds in. Schnell elected to let Hollis back to his feet to stand and trade, and when they did, Schnell appeared to get the best of the exchanges. Hollis' best offense came in the second round, when he landed a gorgeous side kick that got through and caught Schnell on the button. But Schnell worked through it, landed a takedown and worked into side control in what would prove to be the closest of the three rounds. In the third, Hollis looked dominant working from his back. His best offense came by way of an inverted triangle choke that had Schnell in trouble. He got out, though he wasn't able to do much in a round that appeared to go Hollis' way. But the close second was just close enough in Schnell's favor to get him a pair of 29-28 scores for the victory. Schnell (1-0), who trains with UFC standouts Tim Credeur and Dustin Poirier in Louisiana, starts out 1-0 in the pro ranks after a 3-0 amateur career. Hollis (0-1) was 2-1 as an amateur before the loss to Schnell.
Caldwell makes easy work of Armas in MMA debut
Darrion Caldwell showed just why he was a 10-to-1 favorite in his MMA debut. The All-American and national champion wrestler from North Carolina State made easy work of David Armas, cruising to a 30-27 sweep of the judges' scorecards. Caldwell opened with a flying knee that just missed, but within 15 seconds he had Armas on the mat. Caldwell would go on to get to full mount in each of the three three-minute rounds and kept Armas from being able to get off any offense. Caldwell (1-0) picked up the easy win in his debut. Armas (2-5) saw his two-fight win streak snapped; he started his pro career 0-4.
- Jeff Rexroad def. Lucas Pimenta via submission (arm-in triangle choke) – Round 2, 3:17 (for interim welterweight title)

Gettin' on board the gay marriage train
Marriage | Same-sex advocates ruled the public arena surrounding Supreme Court arguments for two landmark cases. But it's far from certain the legal locomotion on marriage is ready to roll
"Gettin' on board the gay marriage train" Continued...
WASHINGTON—Edith Windsor, the 83-year-old lesbian who brought the challenge to a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), walked down the front steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on the last day of the March arguments in two major marriage cases. Her hundreds of supporters outside the court blasted Alicia Keys' hit "Girl on Fire" when they caught sight of her and let out a massive cheer. The stylishly dressed Windsor waved like a rock star and then went to a bank of microphones to talk to reporters on the court's portico.
Paul Clement, the bespectacled conservative legal star who defended DOMA, left the court building by himself, carrying his scuffed-up leather briefcase. He slipped out to the court's north side, avoiding the scrum of press on the south portico. Lawyers arguing court cases usually come to the court's portico to talk to reporters after arguments. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in the courtroom to hear the DOMA proceedings, assessed Clement's defense of the law: "What a stale role to play in life."
The Supreme Court cases challenging two marriage laws, California's Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, are far from decided, but Clement's back-door exit and Windsor's parade down the front steps are emblematic of the two sides in the wake of the oral arguments—and a runaway public campaign aimed at media, politicians, and other public figures to force acceptability of same-sex marriage. Even though traditional marriage advocates represent about half of Americans, they kept a low profile because they face not only the label of dissenters, but bigots.
In the national debate gay marriage advocates appear triumphant, even though the Supreme Court justices strongly indicated they don't intend to issue the sweeping ruling that gay advocates want. Despite the political pressure, the justices don't appear ready to say that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, but instead in the arguments they sought to narrow how they decide the questions before them.
On the first day of arguments, when the court considered Prop 8, traditional marriage advocates held a march outside the court several thousand strong—a diverse crowd, with a strong presence of Hispanic and Chinese families, indicating demographic points of strength in the movement. The challenge to Prop 8, a state voter-passed constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman, is the biggest threat to traditional marriage laws: If the court finds California's law to be discriminatory against gays, that would threaten all 41 states with similar traditional marriage laws.
On the second day of arguments, as the court considered Section 3 of DOMA, which defines marriage as between one man and one woman for the purpose of federal benefits, traditional marriage supporters were scarce outside the court. The most visible opponents of gay marriage were the Westboro Baptist protestors, holding their shocking signs that said things like "God hates fags." The handful of Westboro protestors reinforced the message of gay-rights activists that opponents of gay marriage are first of all a minority, and secondly, bigots. Taking that message to social media, young people that same day changed their Facebook profile pictures to the Human Rights Campaign's red logo of an equal sign, an expression of support for same-sex marriage.
Inside the court Chief Justice John Roberts told Windsor's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, that the gay movement was not politically powerless as it argued it was, a characteristic of a class that deserves heightened protection from discriminatory laws. "Political figures are falling over themselves to endorse your side of the case," Roberts said.
Just that day Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., who previously opposed same-sex marriage, announced that she had changed her views. The day before, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said the same. Nine Democratic senators who opposed same-sex marriage during the 2012 election have changed their position in the few months since. Only a handful of Democratic senators remain who support traditional marriage.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also changed her position in March, announcing her support for same-sex marriage. Her announcement followed a March 7 Washington Post op-ed by former President Bill Clinton, who signed DOMA into law in 1996, but now says the law should be overturned. Clinton announced his support for same-sex marriage in 2009.
Former pastor Rob Bell, who challenged biblical teaching on hell in his 2011 bestseller Love Wins, challenged church teaching on marriage in a March 17 forum at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, calling it "narrow, politically intertwined, [and] culturally ghettoized." Saying "the ship has sailed" on same-sex marriage, he jumped aboard too in the lead-up to the Supreme Court cases.
But orthodox religious leaders aren't conceding the point so quickly. As Bell announced his position, Timothy Keller, the pastor of perhaps the largest theologically conservative church in New York City, Redeemer Presbyterian, addressed the issue at an Ethics and Public Policy forum for journalists in Miami. Keller said that even though views on gay marriage may be changing politically, personal religious views against homosexuality are likely to remain more rigid because they form a core part of the Bible. In that way, homosexuality is different from race, he argued.
"[The Bible] is very clear on marriage and sex," Keller said. "There's an inertia in the Bible that allows a person to get a lot of leeway in politics … but it doesn't give you a lot of leeway on those social issues and basic theology." Keller, whose views on homosexuality and gay marriage drew wider media scrutiny after the Miami event, acknowledged the political winds are strong against even admitting to believe the concept of biblical sexuality. He cited the White House forcing Pastor Louie Giglio to remove himself from offering a prayer at the president's inauguration this year because of Giglio's orthodox Christian views on sexuality.
"What we were being told was, 'You're beyond the pale,'" Keller said. "Not just that you're wrong, but respect for you is wrong. That was heard loud and clear in the conservative Protestant world … that we don't even have a right to be in the public square."
Polls show the country shifting rapidly toward greater approval of same-sex marriage, but it's not a majority view yet. A Pew Research Center poll released before the Supreme Court arguments showed 49 percent of the country approves of legalizing same-sex marriage, compared to 33 percent a decade ago. But The Washington Post recently pointed out a "Bradley effect" in polling on the issue—when voters express support for an African-American candidate in polling because they don't want to appear intolerant, but they'll vote differently in the privacy of the ballot box. In the voter initiatives on same-sex marriage that passed last year, polling ahead of Election Day showed much higher margins of victory than the measures actually garnered in the end.
The high court seemed ready to let that battle in the ballot boxes continue, which is what traditional marriage supporters had advocated. Both the DOMA and Prop 8 cases are exceedingly complex, and the court has many options for resolving them. The justices could issue broad rulings, issue narrow rulings, or dismiss the cases on technicalities like standing or jurisdiction.
If the court does decide the cases on their merits, Justice Anthony Kennedy, the key vote who has written the court's two major gay-rights opinions, seemed unwilling to go as far as the challengers to Prop 8 and DOMA want: that gay marriage is a constitutional right. During arguments he said gay marriage advocates were asking the court to go into "uncharted waters," and he wasn't sure which metaphor those waters led to: a "wonderful destination" or a "cliff."
The one thing that apparently held Kennedy back was the lack of social science evidence of the effect of gay marriage on children. In the Prop 8 arguments he noted, "We have five years of information to weigh against 2,000 years of history or more."
Kennedy's reasoning parroted a brief by two conservative scholars, Leon Kass and Harvey Mansfield. The pair argued that same-sex marriage is a recent innovation (it didn't exist anywhere until the year 2000) and not enough time has elapsed for any reliable scientific information on children raised in such households to emerge. Keller, in his Florida talk, similarly argued, "Give it 30 years … to some degree, the proof will be in the pudding."
The courtroom, even though it was packed in both cases, had a serenity to it that was absent in the political fervor and demonstrations outside—no cameras, no cell phones, and no signs allowed. No one stood up and made a scene. It was an intense intellectual conversation between nine justices and a bench of lawyers, punctuated by a sick Justice Sonia Sotomayor's sneezes. Of course that serenity is by design, because the court is supposed to be immune to political noise.
But the political noise may get to Kennedy over the next couple months, in the way that some imagine political pressure played into Roberts' surprise decision upholding the 2010 healthcare law. If Kennedy is the key vote toward legalizing same-sex marriage, having written the court's two major gay rights opinions (Romer v. Evans in 1996 and Lawrence v. Texas in 2003), he might see himself gaining a glowing place in history.
Still, even liberal justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg never described same-sex marriage as a constitutional right in the arguments. Because the justices seemed uninterested in giving gay marriage the status of a civil right, the subject of potential threats to religious liberty—a key point in the debate for traditional marriage proponents—didn't come up.
One central justification for traditional marriage laws—encouraging responsible procreation—did arise, but it didn't gain traction with most of the justices, even though six are Catholics and three are Jews, faiths that emphasize the intertwining of marriage and procreation. Briefs from religious leaders like the National Association of Evangelicals and Catholic professor Robert George of Princeton University argued that the state should continue to preserve marriage as an institution between one man and one woman because only that relationship produces new human beings.
The lawyers defending Prop 8 and DOMA avoided that topic. In California, for one, same-sex couples can already adopt children regardless of whether they are "married." Charles Cooper, the lawyer defending Prop 8, dwelled briefly on the procreation argument, saying that redefining marriage would make its purpose not raising children but the "emotional needs of adults." Culturally speaking, procreation is already distant from marriage's purpose: In a 2010 Pew Research Center survey, 93 percent of respondents named "love" as an important reason to get married, while only 59 percent said having children was an important reason to marry.
Clement, in defending DOMA, didn't mention procreation at all, but the other side did. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., arguing against DOMA, said the law had no connection at all to promoting procreation in marriage. The liberal justices also attacked that point. Only Roberts defended the idea: "When the institution of marriage developed historically, people didn't get around and say, 'Let's have this institution, but let's keep out homosexuals,'" Roberts said. "The institution developed to serve purposes that, by their nature, didn't include homosexual couples."
Even if the procreation argument floundered, traditional marriage defenders may get roughly what they wanted. The National Organization for Marriage, the Family Research Council, the Alliance Defending Freedom, and the Heritage Foundation prepared a booklet on the issue ahead of the cases. Its conclusion? "The Supreme Court should let the people choose."
If the justices do what it looks like Kennedy may want them to do—ban the federal government from defining marriage and give that power to individual states—the political future is not necessarily inevitably and nationally victorious for gay marriage advocates. As of now, 41 states have defined marriage as between a man and a woman, and nine have legalized same-sex marriage. Despite polls shifting in favor of same-sex marriage, states remain that will probably maintain traditional marriage laws for the foreseeable future.
The morning of the DOMA arguments, several Supreme Court litigators sat in the court's cafeteria drinking coffee and parsing the arguments. One had printed out the transcript from the previous day's arguments, which he thumbed through as his colleagues brought up points. They made educated predictions, but landed ultimately where the most novice Supreme Court observer is: They have no idea what the court will do when it rules on the cases this summer.

|4 babies born at MMH in Jan.;board looks to expand OB
|Written by April Peregoy
Due to the addition of nurse practitioners Claudia Powell and Judy Sudmeier, more women are turning to Melissa Memorial Hospital and Family Practice Clinic of Holyoke for obstetric and gynecological care. According to hospital administrator John Ayoub, a total of eight babies were born at MMH in 2008. In January, 2009 alone, there has already been four babies born at the hospital.
As a result, he told East Phillips County Hospital District board members at their meeting Monday, Jan. 26, MMH is taking steps to bolster the services offered in that area.
Recently, the hospital purchased a prenatal care package with the help of grants obtained by Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation and Colorado Rural Health Center. The package includes PowerPoint presentations, books and DVDs on prenatal care that will be used to educate expecting mothers.
Rather than providing general education classes on pregnancy and labor, Ayoub said hospital staff will educate each mother one-on-one with a program tailor-fit for each individual.
On April 14, hospital staff will receive a very special guest: speaker, author and pediatrician Dr. Marianne Neifert, better known as "Dr. Mom." A recognized expert in lactation management, she will be visiting MMH on behalf of the HealthONE Alliance Lactation Program at Rose Medical Center in Denver, as part of its Colorado Can Do 5! campaign.
The campaign promotes breastfeeding by giving hospitals the tools and education to teach new mothers about the process so they feel more comfortable and secure with it, ensuring they will breastfeed their babies successfully, and will continue to do so during the first year.
Hospital board members also re-examined and approved changes to their ends policy Monday night that include goals for obstetrics and mammography care. One of these goals is to offer digital mammograms by 2010. They also hope to come up with some kind of agreement with Dr. David Reed of Wray for him to come to MMH to perform C-sections, rather than sending the mothers away for the surgery.
Dr. McClellan to
attend Health Fair
Community members who attend this year's Health Fair, scheduled for Saturday, March 21, may have a chance to meet Dr. Danielle McClellan, who will be joining Family Practice Clinic as a new physician in July.
"This should be a good way to introduce her to the staff and community," said Ayoub.
In other health fair news, he noted that, at past health fairs, those who needed to schedule appointments at the clinic after receiving their blood results had to wait until it opened the following Monday. This year, Ayoub said there will be a clinic employee available to make appointments for those who need them.
Meanwhile, the search still continues for one more physician to join the clinic staff. In December, Ayoub had mentioned he was in serious talks with a possible doctor. However, he told the board on Monday, that doctor has decided to go somewhere else. Currently, he is talking with another physician, and his hope is to find one who can join the staff with McClellan this summer.
As for the CFO position, Ayoub said he has a number of interested applicants and, right now, is doing phone interviews with them to narrow the list. Since former CFO Shelly Larson left in December, Jim Rush of Oregon has been acting as interim CFO and will continue to do so until the position is filled, which should be done by March.
Finding qualified physicians willing to work at any rural hospital is not an easy task, which is why EPCHD board members took a step at Monday's meeting that may help them in the future. A new medical school, Rocky Vista University School of Osteopathic Medicine, located in Parker, has signed an agreement with the board to send third- and fourth-year medical students to MMH for internships.
Since the school is new, it will take a couple of years before the students are far enough along to start their internships. Still, said Ayoub, the hope is they will have a good enough experience to return to MMH for their residencies, and perhaps, even after getting their degrees for their practices.
In the meantime, MMH is holding education classes for the providers it already has to keep them up to date. In February, the High Plains Research Network is bringing the hospital an asthma kit and sponsoring an asthma education class for the clinical staff. Other doctors who will visit in February include a dermatologist and an allergist.
2008 is successful year
Reflecting upon all its accomplishments in 2008, Ayoub and EPCHD board members acknowledged it was a very successful year for the hospital district. During that time, the hospital moved into a new, larger facility, welcomed two new nurse practitioners as well as hired a new physician and successfully completed four surveys to be in compliance with the state.
Though the district started out under budget in 2008 due to the hospital's move, the bottom line has since become much closer to, if not meeting, the monthly budgets.
"I'm excited about the direction we are headed," said Ayoub. "January was a good month in terms of the number of patients we had, and that's due to our new facility, having a fantastic staff and a supportive board of directors."
To show how well the hospital is doing in comparison to others around the state and the nation, Ayoub brought Quality Report data from the website hospitalconnect.com. The site uses graphs to compare the quality of individual hospitals to the state and national averages.
In every area that data was collected, MMH ranked at or above the national and state averages.
Other business
In other business, EPCHD board members:
—held a 25-minute executive session for the yearly evaluation of the administrator. However, two board members, Gary Rahe and Steve Deaver, were not present, so the evaluation was tabled until the next EPCHD board meeting Monday, Feb. 23.
—were introduced to temporary CFO Jim Rush.
—heard a report on the pharmacy from Pat Notter and toured its area.
—were notified by Ayoub the hospital is now in good standing with the state after results from the follow-up Rural Health Clinic survey came back clear.
—were informed the recently purchased claim scrubber has been installed and will soon be in use.
—closed on its loan with Housing and Urban Development.
—approved the 2009 Corporate Compliance Work Plan.
—appointed two committees to review bylaws. Sheryl Farnsworth, Ray Malleck and Steve Young were appointed to work on the MMH bylaws and Steve Deaver, Gary Rahe and Steve Young will work on the Family Practice Clinic and staff.

FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. (WUSA) - The fatal shooting of a Virginia man in 1980 has been solved, according to Fauquier County authorities.
The Commonwealth's Attorney of Fauquier County, Jim Fisher and Fauquier County Sheriff Charlie Ray Fox, Jr. jointly announced authorization for warrants in the New Year's Eve 1980 slaying of Brad Baker at Kinloch Farm in Northern Fauquier County.
Brad Baker was shot to death in his home on December 31, 1980. He was 30 years old at the time of his death. Over the course of time, leads and different theories were followed without any resolution.
Recent progress in new investigative techniques and avenues of inquiry led to the positive identification of the defendant and other witnesses, authorities said.

Acne vulgaris is the scientific name for acne which is a common chronic skin disease involving blockage and/or inflammation of hair follicles and their accompanying sebaceous gland. Acne vulgaris can be present as noninflammatory, inflammatory, or a mixture of both, affecting mostly the face but also the back and chest.
Treatment for the condition include over-the-counter products containing salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, sulfur, and perscription antibiotics. Professional treatments such as chemical peels can be helpful. Blue light therapy has also been very successful in acne treatment. Always check with your dermatologist.
When most people think of acne, they envision a teenager or adolescent with a pimply face, but this skin problem isn't unique to the younger set. Adults get it too. The official medical name for this skin condition is acne vulgaris. Vulgaris literally means common, which is appropriate since so many people are affected by this skin problem.
The red bumps and clogged pores that are so characteristic of acne is related to the overproduction of an oily substance called sebum. Sebum is made by sebaceous glands that lie adjacent to hair follicles. It has the beneficial function of lubricating and protecting the skin, but when too much is much produced, it causes skin cells inside the hair follicle to stick together. These cells are continuously being produced and sloughed off, but sebum causes them to clog up the follicle and pore that connects to the surface of the skin. Bacteria feed on the dead skin cells and sebum. This leads to inflammation and the red bumps and pustules you see with acne.
People with acne also get whiteheads and blackheads known as comedones. These are essentially follicles plugged with dead skin cells that aren't inflamed.
The whole process starts with overproduction of sebum, and that's usually hormonal in nature. That's why you see acne so often in adolescents in teens as their hormone levels change. Acne is also more common during pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations. There's also a genetic component to acne, and it can be triggered by hormonal medications or corticosteroids. Stress and diet also seem to play a role.
Some people with acne cleanse their skin too aggressively. Twice a day cleansing with a mild cleanser, gently moving the washcloth in a circular motion without aggressively scrubbing the skin, is sufficient. Once cleansed, applying a lotion containing benzoyl peroxide helps to reduce the bacteria in the follicles that are contributing to the problem. For severe cases of cystic acne, dermatologist sometimes prescribe antibiotics to reduce bacteria. Unfortunately, oral antibiotics have side effects.
Another ingredient in some over-the-counter products that helps to reduce bacteria is sulfur. Sulfur has the additional benefit of helping to open up clogged pores. It does this by reducing the tendency for dead skin cells in the follicle to clump together. It can cause redness, peeling and irritation.
Another approach for treatment is to use products containing alpha-hydroxy acids or salicylic acid. These weak acids are found in some products used to treat acne. They help to loosen up and remove the dead skin cells that are clogging the pores. Of the two, products containing salicylic acid are usually more effective, although some people experience skin irritation when they first start using them.
A dermatologist or aesthetician can do chemical peels using salicylic acid or glycolic acid to reduce comedones and help prevent outbreaks. This usually requires a series of peels to get maximal results. These peels can cause some temporary redness and skin irritation.
Dermatologists frequently prescribe retinoids in products such as Retin-A to treat acne vulgaris. Retinoids work by keeping the dead skin cells in the follicle from sticking together, which opens up pores that are clogged. Despite their effectiveness, many people have redness and skin irritation when they use them. This usually improves over time.
The primary cause of acne is overproduction of sebum, which is usually related to hormonal changes. Some women with adult acne respond to oral contraceptives, but this should be a treatment of last resort due to the potential side effects.
Another treatment that's growing in popularity is blue light therapy. This involves using a handheld device that delivers blue light to the skin. Bacteria produce chemicals called porphyrins. These porphyrins absorb the light and free radicals are produced that destroy the bacteria which contribute to acne. These handheld devices are now available for home use. They shouldn't be used to treat cystic acne.
Acne vulgaris is a common skin problem not only in adolescents and teens but adults too. Fortunately, there are treatments that work well for this condition.

The following is an opinion column by WUSA 9 Sports Anchor Dave Owens.
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- It was one of the few moments of significance at this year's annual Super Bowl Media Day. As thousands of reporters chased down players and coaches, both known and obscure, a little-known defensive back, Chris Culliver, uttered words that caused eyebrows to raise and furl at the same time.
The second-year player said he would not accept a homosexual teammate and added that if the 49ers had any homosexual players, they should leave.
The predictable reaction ensued: reprimand from the team, an apology from the player, a goodwill PR tour to appease Gay Rights groups. Typical. But for all of the negative reaction Culliver received, I, for one, believe the moment served a very important purpose and in a way, I am glad he said it.
You heard me correctly, AM GLAD HE SAID IT. Why? Homophobia, like many other ignorant-based beliefs often isn't addressed until it absolutely has to be. Moreover, it sometimes takes an overt incident like Culliver's Media Day statements to pop the cork on the conversation. It's an uncomfortable topic that many would rather avoid, but I strongly assert that only through substantive discussions of topics like this do education, and hopefully, growth and change, occur.
The NFL's ultra machismo culture is an incubator for those who think like Culliver. An environment which predisposes one to believe that a person's sexual orientation somehow affects his ability to knock the living you-know-what out of an opponent on game day. Furthermore, that same homosexual player will surely be gazing at teammates in the locker room afterwards, right? Wrong!
Kimberly Davis, a 2008 Scripps Howard Fellow and Adjunct Instructor at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism for the University of Maryland, believes the genesis of this type of homophobia comes from the culture of heteronormativity that is prevalent in sports culture, in general.
"The idea that being heterosexual is normal and everything else is not normal permeates sports, particularly team sports. By the same token, sports culture is just a microcosm of our larger culture, where people who identify as LGBTQ are still and unfortunately stigmatized. Moreover, in men's team sports and sports media, there is a culture of masculinity that is shaped by these same ideas. The same is true, in some cases, in women's sports regarding what is said to be feminine," said Davis.
But sports culture is not alone in this. As a member of the United States military for six years, I often heard and was involved in discussions on the topic of gays in the ranks. The default response, especially amongst the guys was typically "no way, I don't want him sleeping next to me. He might try something."
Where does that sort of thinking come from? Davis believes media portrayals may be partially to blame:
"Media is a reflection of and at the same time constructs reality. We get our ideas about people, places and things that we have not fully encountered from media portrayals so, yes, I believe that media perceptions do play a role in some people's beliefs. Even in a culture where being LGBTQ is more accepted, the portrayals of sexual identities that are different than heterosexual are still largely stereotypical. Gay automatically means feminine and Lesbian automatically means masculine. Very rarely are these stereotypes telling the full story of these sexual identities."
So while that sailor might not have wanted a gay shipmate sleeping next to him, odds are, a gay sailor probably was sleeping next to or near him the entire time and simply went about his business just like everybody else. Thorough and compassionate analysis eventually won out amongst military leadership. Athletes like Culliver could learn a thing or two from them. Attempting to correlate personal preferences to job performance is difficult calculus and in some cases impossible.
But we should be pleased Culliver had the guts to speak his mind on Media Day Tuesday. Society has always needed people like him to foster change. In 1987, then-Dodgers General Manager Al Campanis told Ted Koppel on Nightline: "I truly believe that African-Americans may not have some of the necessities to be a field manager or perhaps a general manager." He then continued by attempting to make a connection to the lack of African-American catchers, pitchers or quarterbacks and the fact that those positions were thinking positions. Wow, a professional General Manager of one of the most storied franchises said that! Imagine what Twitter would have done with that verbal bombshell had it existed 25 years ago. But as ugly of a statement as it was, it served a purpose. It helped expose covert racist thinking amongst high ranking managers in a professional sport. Some would argue that racism still exists today in the form of the paucity of minority head coaches in the NFL.
Throughout history, numerous other examples of verbal ignorance abounds: women are not fit to serve in combat roles; different races should not intermarry; women should not officiate men's sports, etc. They were all dumb statements that before they could be addressed, needed someone to utter it publicly. Add Culliver's to the list. Unfortunately, it's probably safe to assume there are other players, staff and front office personnel who carry around these feelings or similar beliefs.
This is why analysis of Culliver's statement is important. That little known 49ers defensive back gave us an up close view of ignorance. Great! Now at least we know what we're dealing with. Hopefully it inspires us to teach our daughters, sons, nieces, and nephews to be better or really, less ignorant. Because it would really be a shame if in a decade or so, my 12-year old nephew did an interview at Super Bowl Media Day and spouted the same garbage that Culliver did. In my opinion if he did, it would represent a failure on behalf of the village responsible for raising him the right way.

May 24, 2016
Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida prisons are saving money through lower-cost contracts for paper towels, toilet paper and soap while inmates are wearing cheaper shoes in response to a budget deficit that has ballooned to $95.2 million.
Department of Corrections officials told a legislative panel on Wednesday that such internal cost-cutting steps, though, won't be enough to reduce the deficit to zero when the current budget year ends on June 30.
Gov. Rick Scott is asking the Legislature to appropriate $74.8 million to cover most of the deficit. That would leave the department responsible for eliminating the remaining $20.4 million through such actions as trading traditional canvas shoes for cheaper, longer-lasting plastic Crocs.
Corrections Secretary Mike Crews also told lawmakers that health care privatization in South Florida prisons will be completed next month.

Here's a look at some of the top sports stories making headlines today, Thursday, Jan. 8.
The Atlanta Hawks have managed to increase their lead in the NBA's Eastern Conference by continuing their mastery of the West.
The Hawks picked up their ninth straight win over the West as Jeff Teague dropped in 25 points to lead a 96-86 victory over Memphis in Atlanta. Kyle Korver had 14 points for the Hawks, who were tied at 84 before reeling off a 10-0 run. Teague and Korver each hit 3-pointers during the spurt.
Atlanta is 10-2 versus the West this season, the league's best record against the conference. The Hawks also have won six straight and 20 of 22 overall to take a 2 ½-game lead over Chicago and Toronto in the East.
Also in the NBA:
The second-ranked Duke Blue Devils struggled in Winston-Salem on Wednesday before keeping their perfect record intact.
Freshmen Justice Winslow and Jahlil Okafor led the 14-0 Blue Devils to a 73-65 triumph at Wake Forest. Winslow scored a season-high 20 points in Duke's closest game of the season. Okafor finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds in his first ACC road game.
Quinn Cook provided nine of his 12 points in the final five minutes to help the Blue Devils remain one of three unbeaten teams remaining in Division I men's basketball.
In other top-25 finals:
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he'll play Sunday against Dallas despite sitting out Wednesday's practice because of a lingering left calf injury. Rodgers has dealt with the injury for about three weeks and hopes occasional acupuncture will also help, along with the rest that the Packers received for earning a bye for the opening round of the playoffs. He aggravated the injury during a season-ending win over the Detroit Lions.
Elsewhere in the NFL:
Coach Randy Carlyle had seen the Toronto Maple Leafs play like this before. This time, he wasn't behind the bench.
The Leafs were losers in their first game under interim coach Peter Horachek as Marcus Johansson and Eric Fehr each scored twice in Washington's 6-2 rout in Toronto. Braden Holtby turned back 31 shots in helping the Capitals improve to 7-1-2 in their last 10 games.
The Maple Leafs were playing just hours after naming Horachek interim coach to replace Carlyle, who was dismissed on Tuesday. Toronto suffered its third straight loss and fell to 2-8-0 in its last 10 contests.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - When C.J. Fair blocked Vander Blue's 3-
point attempt late in the second half on Saturday it looked eerily similar to
a play made 10 years ago by another forward for Syracuse.
In that instance Hakim Warrick also came out to block a corner jump shot
attempt from Kansas' Michael Lee. Warrick's rejection came with 1.5 seconds
left to seal an 81-78 victory over the Jayhawks in the National Title game.
Fair and this year's Orange have another thing in common with the 2003 squad,
besides the similarities of those two swats. This 2013 rendition is the first
since that 2003 team to reach the Final Four.
The path for Syracuse this season was quite different than that of the 2003
team which was led by superstar Carmelo Anthony and Gary McNamara.
A regular season that saw them rise as high as No. 3 in the national rankings
ended with losses in four of the last five games for the Orange. What looked
like the death blow to the title hopes came in the finale when long-time
rival Georgetown ripped the Orange apart in a 61-39 decision at the Verizon
"We obviously had a very difficult last part of our schedule and didn't shoot
the ball particularly well," head coach Jim Boeheim said. "But our defense was
good throughout."
Strong defensive efforts carried the Orange through the first three rounds of
the Big East Tournament, including a 58-55 win over the Hoyas in the
semifinals. The Orange would bow to Louisville, which is also in the Final
Four, in the conference title game, but got right back to work in the NCAA
Tournament with bruising wins in its four East Regional games.
Other than his more than 900 career victories and now four Final Four
appearances, Boeheim is probably best known for preaching the zone defense.
That has not changed this season and during the tournament run it has looked
as good as ever. The Orange are holding opponents to just 45.8 points per game
on 29.1 percent shooting. That has included stout defense beyond the arc where
their four opponents have netted just 19 shots on 109 attempts.
In their matchup in the Final Four the Orange's zone will be put to another
stern test as they take on Michigan and Naismith Player of the Year front-
runner Trey Burke. Boeheim is well aware of how dangerous the Wolverines, who
rank sixth in the nation in field goal percentage (.485) and 25th in scoring
(75.5 ppg), are going to be.
"Offensively they're by far the biggest challenge we've had this year,"
Boeheim said."We've played some really good teams, but we haven't played
anybody as good offensively as Michigan."
Boeheim might be selling his team short though as the Orange have already
dominated against another Big Ten school that could lay claim to the moniker
of best offensive team in the country.
In fact the Orange's most impressive defensive display of the season came in
their Sweet 16 victory over Indiana. Long considered on the short list of
favorites to cut down the nets in Atlanta, the Hoosiers looked completely out
of sorts against Syracuse. Indiana was a top 10 scoring team in the country
this season but was held to a season-low 50 points against the Orange, while
also tying for a season-high with 19 turnovers.
"We've played the zone the best that we've played it probably in all the years
we've been playing zone," Boeheim said.
A big reason for the zone's tremendous success this season has been the
personnel. Boeheim obviously has a prototype for ideal players in his system
with the key being athletic guards and forwards with tons of length. Anthony,
Warrick, Demetris Nichols and Kris Joseph are names that come to mind that
exemplify that type of athlete on past teams.
Fair has highlighted this season's batch with James Southerland and Michael
Carter-Williams also fitting the mold.
Carter-Williams runs the point for the Orange but at 6-foot-6 has the size to
wreak havoc on opposing backcourts. The sophomore has done just that this
season as he led the Big East in steals (2.7 spg).
"He makes me play harder on defense just seeing how active he is, being able
to get steals and things like that, it's contagious," senior Brandon Triche
said of Carter-Williams, "He makes the winning plays. It's not all about
points for him its about winning."
It might not be at the forefront of his mind every game but Carter-Williams
has been making an even bigger splash in the NCAA Tournament with his
offensive production. After being more of a secondary option as a scorer
during the regular season, Carter-Williams has transformed in the tournament,
knocking down shots from the outside, while consistently putting the ball on
the floor to get to the rim. All this while facing adversity in his personal
life as his home in Massachusetts burned down in March. To say he has been
tough would be an understatement.
It hasn't been a solo act for Carter-Williams though as he has received plenty
of help from yet another talented roster for Boeheim.
Southerland has largely erased the stigma put on him earlier in the
season when he missed six games for academic issues, by turning into arguably
the most lethal 3-pointer shooter in the country. No matter where on the floor
he catches the ball, when the 6-foot-8 forward goes up for a shot it just
seems like its going to find the bottom of the net.
Case in point, late in the game against Marquette on Saturday, Southerland
hoisted a desperation 3-pointer with a defender draped all over him but it
didn't seem to matter as he drilled the shot.
"I think all my shots are going in," Southerland, who set the Big East
Tournament record this season with 19 made 3-pointers, said." Every shot I
take feels good, so I don't think anything's going to miss."
Then there is Fair and Triche who have been the steady forces on both ends
with each also proving to be integral cogs in the machine-like zone defense as
well. Fair has been in double figures in all four tournament contests and is
the best player on the team in creating his own offense. Triche has struggled
a bit with his shot during the tourney (15-of-36) but his leadership as a
senior can't be put into a box score.
This will be Boeheim's fourth team to make the Final Four. However, he doesn't
see the point of celebrating an appearance in what amounts to a semifinal.
"I've told the players, when you make the Final Four its obviously right now a
great reason to be happy, but if you don't win the Final Four you will be more
unhappy than you would be if you lost today," Boeheim said after the win over
Boeheim has been on both sides of that coin. Perhaps Fair's block was a sign
that this team will finish up like the 2003 squad and not the 1987 and 1996

It's the most wonderful time of the year…to party! In this season of what seems to be non-stop celebrations, a great party dress is definitely essential. Whether you opt for demure and ladylike or sparkly and vibrant, the right dress should definitely make an entrance.
Stylist's Tip: Sequins, lace, pleats and mesh are all gorgeous details we love on party dresses. The problem is they tend to be very delicate, so great care must be taken in freshening them up. We love using the Rowenta Precision Valet Commercial Garment Steamer for de-wrinkling and even freshening up delicate dresses. It's definitely a handy tool to have around! (A great bonus: You can use this handy tool all over the house, too—from your upholstery to drapes.)
We've picked out some of our favorite party dresses below. For even more pretty party frocks, check out our Dresses page!
1. Jessica Simpson Sleeveless Sweetheart Lace Dress, 2. Maggy London Metallic Knit Tiered Dress, 3. Jessica Simpson Feather & Sequin Dress, 4. Max and Cleo Layla Pleated Shift Dress, 5. Max and Cleo Maddy Lace Dress, 6. Maggy London Sleeveless Beaded Mesh Party Dress

Update to Important Notice No. 133
July 17, 2013
On March 1, 2013, as required by law, President Obama issued the sequestration order, under which NSF budgetary resources were reduced by $356 million.� NSF has since received its full-year FY 2013 appropriations and we are now finalizing our detailed FY 2013 spending plans.� NSF affirms our commitment to honor the following guiding principles that were identified in Important Notice 133:�
While sequestration does have a significant impact on NSF's budget, the impact on existing programs has been partially mitigated due to FY 2013 Congressional appropriations, combined with difficult choices including limits to new research that would have been initiated otherwise. After the sequestration reduction of $356 million and two government-wide FY 2013 across-the-board reductions, the NSF funding level of $6.88 billion for FY 2013 represents a decrease of 2.1 percent from last year, with more significant reductions in the research accounts for new awards.
At this funding level, NSF can sustain its emphasis on pursuing key national and scientific policy priorities, advancing innovation, economic growth, and national security through NSF's broad-based support for science and engineering research and education at the nation's colleges and universities.�
What does this mean to you?
While the budgetary situation for FY 2013 for NSF has stabilized, the situation for next fiscal year remains somewhat uncertain. Please monitor the National Science Foundation website for any further updates.

Guiding Questions for Developing Assignments
As you develop your assignments, consider the following.
- What course objectives do you hope to advance by the writing assignment? Choose significant course objectives from your syllabus.
- What learning or critical thinking do you expect students to do? Use Bloom's Taxonomy in Assignment Design for help with this question.
- What elements of the "writing situation" should be reflected in the assignment? James Kinneavy's discussion of aims of discourse in The Writing Situation may help with this question.
- What form should the writing take? See Types of Writing Assignments for suggestions.
- How can the writing process be segmented to enable feedback or additional instruction? How will you assess the process and the final product? Take a look at the list of assessment questions, organized by writing stage, in Assessing the Research and Writing Process.
External Considerations
- How will you introduce the assignment to students?
- Does the assignment require pre-teaching of course concepts, technical vocabulary, research skills, or writing skills?
- Will Information and Library Services need to be informed of your assignment, and will you need to schedule an introduction to the library for your class?

I have ZCS 7.2 opensource installed at webmail.domain.com and mailman on mailman.domain.com/mailman.
I wanted to setup a proxy so that when someone goes to webmail.domain.com/mailman, the proxy would instead pull up the contents of mailman.domain.com/mailman.
With apache I could do something like
ProxyPass /mailman https://mailman.domain.com/mailman
ProxyPassReverse /mailman https://mailman.domain.com/mailman
Is it possible (and advisable) to do the same with zimbra's web server? So basically a reverse proxy that forwards to an arbitrary internal website.

Wanted Man Arrested in North Dakota
(South Sioux City) -- The man accused of killing a South Sioux City woman has been arrested. John P. Baker, age 53 of South Sioux City, Nebraska was arrested in McLean County, North Dakota. He was wanted for the murder of 47 year old Kelly Alspach, who was found dead in her home on Friday. Baker faces second degree murder charges. Police were given a tip as to the whereabouts of Baker and they notified the McLean County sheriff's office. McLean County, North Dakota is approximately 400 miles from Sioux City.
(Orange City) -- A Sioux City man has been sentenced in Sioux County for neglect of a dependent person, and possessing prescription medication without a prescription. Bob Schonrock, age 41 was sentenced to ten years in prision on the felony charge and 90 days in jail on each of the misdemeanor charges. The prision term was suspended, but Schonrock must serve the 90 days in Sioux County jail. The incident arose in June when Schonrock was stopped on a routine traffic stop. The officer determined Schonrock was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Schonrock was charged with neglect of a dependent person because while he was operating the vehicle under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, his nine-year old step-son was a passenger in the car.
FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) - Attorneys have begun whittling down the pool of potential jurors in the trial of a woman accused of murdering a man as part of a plot to frame her first husband.
Prosecutors and attorneys for Tracy Richter picked 32 of the 100 possible jurors to begin questioning Tuesday at the outset of her trial.
Richter says she fatally shot 20-year-old Dustin Wehde in 2001 after he and another man broke into her former Iowa home and assaulted her.
Prosecutors contend that Richter killed Wehde and planted a notebook in his car meant to implicate her first husband in a murder-for-hire plot.
She has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and would face a mandatory life prison term if convicted.
(LeMars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors approved the funding for new windows at the Pride Group building during its weekly meeting. Mike Porter of Pride Group presented bids from three separate contractors. Porter indicated the present windows have been in place for more than 30 years. The Supervisors approved the bid submitted by Stratmeier's Home Improvement of LeMars to replace 12 windows at the facility with new, commercial grade, aluminum double hung Gerkin windows at an expected cost of $11,980.50.

in his reintroduction to Florida, helping the Panthers record a 2-0 victory
over Buffalo on Friday.
Luongo was acquired in a shocking deal from the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday

He extended his own franchise mark with his 27th whitewash and 66th career
shutout in the winning effort.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Former University of North Carolina men's basketball coach Dean Smith received the Presidential Medal of Freedom Wednesday afternoon.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom the highest honor a civilian can receive in the United States. Smith was too ill to attend the ceremony, but his wife accepted the honor on his behalf.
During the ceremony, President Barack Obama said:
"Dean Smith is one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history. But his successes go far beyond Xs and Os. Even as he won 78 percent of his games he graduated 96 percent of his players. He is the first coach to use multiple defenses in a game. He was the pioneer who popularized the idea of pointing to a passer. After a basket, players should point to the teammate who passed them the ball."
"With his first national title on the line, he did have the good sense to give the ball to a 19-year-old kid named Michael Jordan. Although they used to joke that the only person who held Michael under 20 was Dean Smith."
"While Coach Smith couldn't join us today due to an illness he is facing with extraordinary courage, we also honor his courage in helping to change our country. He recruited the first black scholarship athlete to North Carolina and helped integrate a restaurant and a neighborhood in Chapel Hill. That's the kind of character he represented on and off the court."
Former Player Curtis Hunter said, "Even when you go out to eat, he had etiquette courses. When we went to place to eat, they taught us the correct silverware. I don't know how many teams were doing that."
Coach Roy Williams said, "I'll never be as good as he was. I don't think anybody ever will be...Coach Smith...he was the best there ever was in my opinion on the basketball court. He was far better off the court. The things he did off the court meant so much more than the things he did on the court."
Greensboro Day School Coach Freddy Johnson added, "My favorite thing about Coach Smith is that he would never be disturbed when one of his players was in the office. That's the one thing I take with me. His players were the most important thing. I don't care if it was the chancellor calling or the athletic director calling, his players were the most important."
Scott Cherry, current High Point University Coach and former UNC player, said, "It wasn't always about wins and losses. It was about the daily effort and giving everything that you have every day. It was a commitment to do everything really, really well."
Sixteen people received the honor. Other recipients included: President Bill Clinton, entertainers Loretta Lynn and Oprah Winfrey and astronaut Sally Ride.

If your standard skin care isn't satisfying your needs, it's time for a change. Add new life to this beauty regimen by trying Dr. Brandt Exfoliators. Your daily cleanser and moisturizer might not be strong enough to target the dead skin cells that are leaving your skin dull. Every skin type can benefit from regular exfoliation, which sloughs off those dull dead skin cells to reveal the healthier, more radiant skin underneath. Dr. Brandt Exfoliators offer additional benefits as well. By ridding your skin of that layer of dead skin cells, your skin is more prepared to effectively absorb other treatment products. Thus, using Dr. Brandt Exfoliators can improve your skin care routine as a whole, making every other product in your routine more effective.

Dr. Brandt Laser A-Peel System gives you the benefits of in-office dermatological treatments from the comfort of your home.

|Computer equipment stolen at landfill break-in
|Written by Darci Tomky
Phillips County Commissioners reported at their July 31 meeting the Phillips County landfill office was broken into Tuesday night, July 28.
Offenders cut the lock on the main gate and used a rock to break the office window. Commissioners noted the office was turned upside down and devastated. Sheriff Rob Urbach investigated the break-in.
Stolen goods amounted to $1,200 worth of equipment including computers, adding machines and a television/VCR combo. There was also evidence a rock was used to try to break into the safe.
Commissioners reported the county will buy new computers to replace the stolen equipment.
On a good note, during the month of July, the state conducted an inspection of the county landfill, and most areas looked good according to the commissioners.
Also in the month of July, Commissioners reported on the 2008 audit of the county conducted by Farmer and Co. The audit gave a good opinion of county finances and reported the fund balance is in good shape. The company noted there is good cooperation within the county, and no recommendations were made for changes.
Commissioners were happy to report the Phillips County Fair went well this year. In looking forward to the completion of the Event Center and next year's Fair, Commissioner Bud Biesemeier said, "We hope next year will go a little smoother with the addition of a building."
Other business
In other business during the month of July, county commissioners:
—approved the county clerk to have mail-in ballots if there is an election this year.
—noted Lori Lundgren was hired as a Case Worker I to help with Social Services.
—renewed the liquor license for Blisties.
—approved roadway occupancy agreement with Highline for County Road 14.

—noted new members on the 911 board include Bruce Mahnke of the Haxtun Fire Dept. and Susan Deslauriers of the Holyoke ambulance. Mahnke will serve a 4-year term while Deslauriers will serve three years because she is replacing Dana Davis.
—noted the county is back up to three vehicles after purchasing two vehicles at auction to replace two others. They purchased a 2006 Ford Taurus for $6,700 and a 2003 Dodge Caravan for $3,900.
