WHEELING - The whole thing is not lost on Ed West. As his John Marshall softball team's trophy case continues to bulge, West understands what he's witnessing.
"This is a special group - a very special group,'' West said Friday night at Lisa's Field.
He made the comment after watching the Monarchs (27-3) easily handle rival Wheeling Park, 6-0, to claim the OVAC Class 5A championship for the second straight season. In addition, it's the 21st straight victory for John Marshall, which hasn't been beaten by a team from either West Virginia or Ohio this season.

The John Marshall softball team celebrate their Class 5A championship victory on Friday. The Monarchs defeated rival Wheeling Park, 6-0.
"You don't get these kind of talented players on your team every year,'' West said. "This group has been very good for a really long time, and now we're seeing the results of a lot of hard work they've put in over the years.''
The recent additions to the trophy case include not only the two OVAC titles, but hardware representing sectional, regional and state championships.
If this senior class has its way, three more pieces of hardware will soon be on the way.
The Monarchs relied on senior ace Amy Rotriga in the circle, as she struck out eight and was in control throughout. Classmates Kristin Lewicki (two doubles, RBI), Kylie Howard (double, triple, RBI) and Morgan Watson (two singles) brought the big sticks, while junior center fielder Sissy George ripped a pair of deep doubles and drove in a pair to lead a 10-hit attack.
"They always hit the ball,'' Wheeling Park (16-5) coach Dee Davis said. "I tried to tell Carly (Greer) location is more important than the curve ball.
"They tee off on you.''
That they did.
The Monarchs struck for two in the first and added a third run in the third as Watson led off with a walk and was plated two outs later by a Howard double.
"The defense was solid, the pitching was great and I thought we hit the ball real well,'' West said. "That's what I preach to the girls, is it doesn't matter what our lineup is (because) we can hit from top to bottom.
"That's what we've been doing for a long time. Just because we have 7-8-9 coming up doesn't mean we can't score.''
John Marshall made it 4-0 in the fourth as Watson got on with an infield single and scored as Lewicki hit one off the wall - narrowly missing a home run - in dead center. The Monarchs finished the scoring an inning later as Howard tripled leading off and scored on George's second RBI double. George then came home on a 2-2 single by Rotriga.
That was more than enough for the southpaw in the circle. Rotriga allowed two hits - a first-inning double by Kelsi Johnson and a sixth-inning single by Marissa Tucker, and no Patriot reached third base.
"She's been really good since she got here as a freshman,'' West said of Rotriga. "She's been unreal, throwing the best that she's ever thrown.
"Park's always a big game, and to put them away like we did is a little sweet.''
Friday marked the third straight victory this season for the Monarchs against the Patriots.
"Last year they beat us every game and then we split with them in the sectional - everything was close,'' Davis recalled. "But we haven't been close to them (this year). It's been 10-1, 8-3 and now 6-0.
"I'm going to regroup Monday and there might be a whole different team out there. Players, attitude and everything.''

At least that's what the young ones are told before they turn eighteen. At that age they become fair game, and must kill or be killed in a secret war between two distinct sides—one good, one evil. The only unknown is which side is which. Hidden in plain view, the battles are fought through assassinations disguised as accidents or the work of senseless thugs.
Joseph has a particular talent for such killings. Never questioning an order, all he needs is a name. But when a job goes wrong and he's sent away on a punishingly dangerous assignment, he meets a girl. Her name is Maria. And for the first time Joseph has a reason to live…outside the war.
Now Joseph must run from those who fought by his side, quickly discovering that the only thing more dangerous than fighting the war is attempting to leave it.

GEISMAR, Louisiana (WAFB) -- Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal reported in a news conference Thursday afternoon that 73 people were injured and one person died in a Thursday morning plant explosion in Geismar, La.
Louisiana State Police now confirm that there has been one fatality. During a news conference with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, he reports that 73 people were injured in the explosion.
Fourteen of those were treated at Baton Rouge General. Seven have been treated and released, five were admitted to the hospital and have sustained burns; one patient is in critical condition, one in serious condition, one in fair condition and one in good condition.
Our Lady of the Lake reports they have received 12 patients in the trauma center, two are still in critical condition. One patient was taken to the OLOL freestanding emergency room in Livingston, LA.
St. Elizabeth Hospital in Gonzales received 36 patients, all in good or fair condition. Latest reports indicate that 18 have already been discharged.
According to OLOL and St. Elizabeth's Hospital, patients that were exposed to the chemical Ethylene-Propylene-Maleic Anhydride Copolymers, were provided the proper decontamination and appropriate care. The patients sustained various injuries including trauma and burn, fractured bones, and neck, back, abdominal and chest injuries.
The name of the plant employee who died in the explosion has not been released at this time pending notification of the family, however, Louisiana State Police Col. Mike Edmonson said during the news conference that the man is from Hammond, LA.
Jindal also reports that officials say every plant employee is accounted for, however, there are 10 plant employees still in a safe room in the plant. Their job is to shut down the plant in case of an emergency.
The 2-mile radius shelter-in-place has been lifted, however, there are at least three plants in the area that are still working under the shelter in place.
Officials at the plant say the explosion happened at 8:37 a.m. Louisiana State Police Capt. Doug Cain reports the fire is now out. There were as many as 600 workers in the plant at the time of the explosion.
There is no word on what caused the explosion.
Meteorologist Steve Caparotta reported Doppler Radar out of Slidell detected the smoke plume from the initial explosion around 8:45 a.m. He said the radar beam would be sampling an elevation around 6,000 feet over Geismar.
During the Thursday afternoon news conference, Governor Jindal said the plant had been approved for expansion and was in the middle of a turnaround. Williams plant does have some prior compliance issues, according to Assistant DEQ Secretary Cheryl Nolan. Nolan also said she is unsure if the compliance issues were serious issues, but DEQ will be taking a look.
The American Red Cross disaster volunteers have deployed from around the state and are providing food, water and emotional support to those affected by the explosion.
DEQ has completed the first round of monitoring around Highways LA 3115 and LA 73 and there was nothing alarming detected initially. The air monitoring area is being expanded now, but so far, the hazardous chemicals are not detected in the air and they are being burned off with a flare at the plant.
The Environmental Protection Agency has mobilized a START Team to help monitor the air quality around the plant.
According to DEQ, the release from the stack is reported to be residual propelyne - this is what's generating the smoke
According to Louisiana State Police, the evacuation of the plant, shelters in place at Honeywell and PCS (the two neighboring plants) and road closures will be in place until further notice. The shelter in place has been lifted in St. Gabriel.
"We are in the process of accounting for all personnel. Injuries have been reported, the number and extent of those injuries is not known at this point," said Tom Droege with Williams Geismar Olefins plant in a news release.
The Ascension Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness has set up a reunification center for plant workers and their families at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center at 9039 S. St. Landry Ave, Gonzales, Louisiana.
For those seeking family members, the Ascension Parish Emergency Operations Center has a set up a phone number: 866-380-2303. The EOC will not be able to patch callers through to their family members, but will be able to give callers the status of their loved ones.
The St. George Fire Department dispatched an engine company and a chief officer to East Iberville High School to assist with triage and treatment of patients as requested.
Plant workers were taken by bus to various staging areas.
Homeland Security is also on scene assisting investigators, according to Lester Kenyon, the Public Information Officer for Ascension Parish.
"We train for these types of events because this is a heavy corridor for these types of plants along the Mississippi River," Kenyon told CNN.
Roads were closed Thursday morning around the plant, however, LA 3115 between LA 30 and LA 75 is the only roadway that is closed at this time. All other roads have reopened.
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, issued the following statement in response to the explosion that occurred this morning at a chemical plant in Geismar, Louisiana:
Senator Boxer said: "I have reached out to the Chemical Safety Board and was told that the Board is actively assessing the explosion that occurred this morning at a Louisiana chemical plant. I intend to follow this situation closely and have asked for updates as they become available."
According to the company's website, it provides products to customers in the petrochemical industry. The Geismar plant produces 1.3 billion pounds of ethylene and 90 million pounds of polymer grade propylene, both flammable gases used in industrial chemicals and plastic products.
Almost every plastic is ethylene based. 1.3 billion pounds of It being produced at this plant.
Williams employs more than 4,500 people at this plant. Operations span from the deepwater of the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian Oil Sands.
The Olefin team is responsible for the ethane transportation business consisting of approximately 200 miles of pipelines, as well as a refinery-grade propylene splitter.
A neighboring plant says the major exposure is Butadiene spheres. They say that Williams Olefin has a hydrocarbon fire and the concern is that another explosion could occur and the fire is not under control.

Bowling Green, KY (Sports Network) - George Fant scored 15 points and pulled
down nine rebounds as the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers posted a 75-57 win over
the Warhawks of ULM in Sun Belt Conference action at E.A. Diddle Arena.
Also scoring 15 points for the Hilltoppers (14-14, 8-9 Sun Belt) was T.J.
Price, adding seven boards, five assists and three blocked shots as the team
snapped a three-game slide. Jamal Crook tacked on 13 points and seven assists,
while Brandon Harris converted 4-of-8 shots behind the 3-point line in order
to come up with 12 points off the bench.
ULM (4-19, 3-14) was paced by Amos Olatayo who tallied a game-high 18 points,
but shot just 6-of-17 from the floor. Trent Mackey pitched in with 13 points
and Jayon James 11, but the latter also turned the ball over six times before
fouling out. Millaun Brown cleared a game-high 12 rebounds, but still the
Warhawks bowed for the 11th time in the last 12 outings.
WKU scored the first points of the night and never looked back, putting up a
34-22 lead at the break even as the Hilltoppers shot just 2-of-11 behind the
3-point line. The visitors connected on only 30.8 percent from the floor over

60.9 percent from the floor and improved immensely from beyond the arc (6-
of-9) as it cruised to the comfortable win.
With the victory the Hilltoppers, who overcame 16 turnovers in the contest,
have now won all but one of the 10 meetings in the all-time series with ULM.

Cyber-law expert Anupam Chander explores how global trade on the Internet is now regulated, why regulation matters to individuals as well as nations, and how better regulatory laws can encourage international trade while protecting national and human rights.Order at Amazon.comOrder at Yale University Press
On the ancient Silk Road, treasure-laden caravans made their arduous way through deserts and mountain passes, establishing trade between Asia and the civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean. Today's electronic Silk Roads ferry information across continents, enabling individuals and corporations anywhere to provide or receive services without obtaining a visa. But the legal infrastructure for such trade is yet rudimentary and uncertain. If an event in cyberspace occurs at once everywhere and nowhere, what law applies? How can consumers be protected when engaging with companies across the world?
In this accessible book, cyber-law expert Anupam Chander provides the first thorough discussion of the law that relates to global Internet commerce. Addressing up-to-the-minute examples, such as Google's struggles with China, the Pirate Bay's skirmishes with Hollywood, and the outsourcing of services to India, the author insightfully analyzes the difficulties of regulating Internet trade. Chander then lays out a framework for future policies, showing how countries can dismantle barriers while still protecting consumer interests.
University Professor, Columbia University
"The world of commerce has changed for services. A masterly analysis of the implications of this development, this book is a tour de force."
United States Senator
"A must read for those interested in globalization in the information age and the public policy challenges, opportunities, and pitfalls that will result. Anupam Chander offers an insightful primer on international cyberlaw and a thoughtful set of proposals for adapting to a changed world."
Chair of the Appellate Body, World Trade Organization
"This engaging book makes a powerful argument for embracing trade, without displacing law, along the new digital trade routes. Indeed, it recognizes law as crucial to promoting both trade and consumer protection. This is an important contribution to thinking about the international legal order."
University of Bern
"Chander accentuates what is often forgotten–the importance of law underlying the digital evolution. Highly readable and enjoyable, The Electronic Silk Road is a piece of sound intellectual work, which is handsomely written."
Harvard Law School
"Anupam Chander takes us on a fascinating journey, raising provocative questions on how to balance competing global and local interests when managing new trade dynamics. Anyone interested in the digital transformation of commerce should consider carefully Chander's insights."
Yale Law School
"An extraordinarily lucid and colorful description of the way cybertrade is changing global commerce — and global society. Chander proposes realistic legal arrangements that can secure the Web's benefits and avert its perils. This is an important book."
PEN American Center
"Chander examines how international trade is ordering human rights and free expression in the digital age. Virtual borders and transnational corporations are here to stay, and Chander's notion of 'net-work' offers us a sobering analysis of the dangers, and the possibilities."
Graduate Institute, Switzerland
"The Electronic Silk Road is a fantastic read, literally bridging Bangalore with Silicon Valley…"
University of Oxford
"The range of legal and political issues implicated by trade in online information services is vast and some are quite arcane. Yet, Chander brings them together beautifully in a wonderfully accessible book that is very readable without being simplistic."
Tel Aviv University
"Chander beautifully weaves together theory and practice, trade, culture and politics, into a complex yet clear argument, sophisticated yet down to earth, and a beautifully written text."
University of Connecticut School of Law
"Chander's book masterfully brings together a set of debates about technology, privacy, and human rights to consider the pitfalls and promise of regulating Internet trade."
University of Hong Kong
"Skillfully written with elegant prose, the book explores complex challenges posed by culture, politics, and technology associated with trade in information services."
Boston University School of Law
"An engaging, ambitious, and thought-provoking book [that] belongs on the shelf (or e-reader!) of everyone interested in international trade."
Vice-Provost, George Washington University
"As befits a broadly synthetic work about the electronic silk road, Anupam stiches together an impressive array of examples that convincingly demonstrate the importance of the global trade in services."
University of Maryland School of Law
"The Electronic Silk Road is packed with fascinating narratives about the legal conflicts that digitization generates."

"It's a great learning experience for our students, who not only act but also set up the production, and for the high school students to see a live play," said Dr. Kolb. "It gives Hofstra students the valuable experience of
taking a show on the road and managing it logistically and artistically."
For Dr. Kolb, who has been directing Shakespeare Festival productions since 1992, the festival remains a vital part of Hofstra's identity. "The festival is so much more than one play. It is an all encompassing thing that has contributed to the success of Hofstra's theater program." And an opportunity for the community to see future stars in the making.

U.S. exporters struggle with government shutdown
October 08, 2013
While the National Retail Federation reports that imports have not been curtailed by the federal government shutdown, the story for U.S. exporters appears to be another matter.
The American Association of Exporters and Importers – an industry organization representing those immediately engaged in and directly impacted by developments pertaining to international trade – says the issue is approaching a critical level.
In another alarming development, Beacon Economics' California Trade Report will not be released this month due to the Federal government shutdown. The U.S. Department of Commerce statistics necessary to analyze foreign trade for the month of August have become another casualty in the Congressional budget impasse that has shuttered non-essential Federal government operations since October 1.
"Federal government statisticians are not regarded as essential personnel, even though the information they provide allow us to chart the health of our economy," says Jock O'Connell, Beacon Economics' International Trade Adviser.
And it isn't just numbers that are affected. "Many exports and imports, including steel, lumber, and computer equipment, cannot move over the border without specific permits from the Federal government - permits that aren't being given because of the shut down," says Beacon Economics' Founding Partner Christopher Thornberg. "If they reopen the government soon, it shouldn't have a serious effect, but if this continues for much longer real business will be lost, not delayed, and we could be facing broad negative consequences for the economy."
O'Connell indicated that August's trade statistics will eventually become available but he declined to speculate on when. "We're not dealing with a situation in Washington that lends itself to rational expectations," he says.
"It's amazing and a bit frightening how our partisan politics have become so dysfunctional that pleasing narrow voter bases is more important than the health of the U.S. economy," says Thornberg.

|Carper smashes longstanding long jump record
|Written by Darci Tomky
With a jump of 22' 3", HHS trackster Kyle Carper smashed a 33-year-old long jump record at Saturday's league track meet in Sterling. Clearing the previous record by over a foot, the longstanding meet record of 21' 2.5" was shattered by Carper's first place jump.
Doug Lick of Haxtun set the record in 1976, and HHS coach Clint Goldenstein noted Lick's record had been the long jump standard for over 30 years.
Although the HHS track team faced cold weather at Saturday's meet, Goldenstein said the Dragons had some "very impressive individual performances," including Carper's record-breaking long jump.
Carper also turned in a state-qualifying time in the 400 meter dash, earning him first place honors.
Goldenstein said Marissa Smith was very close to qualifying times in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes, in which she received second and first places respectively.
Additionally, first place honors were earned by Heather Duester, Mallory Bennett, Marci Vasa and Smith in the 4x200 meter relay while Duester claimed a silver medal in the 400 meter dash.
Looking at the upcoming regional meet, Goldenstein said long distance runner Jeremy Loutensock has the potential to place well in the 800 meter run, and he continues to push for personal bests in the 1600 meter run, finishing second at Saturday's league meet.
Relay teams for the 4x100 and 4x200 meter relays continue to improve and will work on fine tuning exchanges heading into regionals. Goldenstein noted Patricia Adams and Becca Brandt turned in great performances filling in for runners in the 4x400 relay.
Other Dragon athletes with top performances were throwers Phawn Carper and Patricia Adams who both have the potential to not just qualify for state but win regionals if they can throw at distances they have attained throughout the season, said Goldenstein. He also noted hurdlers Taylor Haidle and Alex Quintana are peaking at the right time of the season.
HHS tracksters dealt with "less than ideal conditions" at the league meet including cold temperatures and moderate precipitation, said Goldenstein. "The team as a whole needs to continue focusing on competing to the best of their ability when confronted with these challenges." While conditions at meets have not been favorable, overall warmer weather has given the team better outdoor practice times during the week.
Despite missing some athletes, the girls finished just one point behind Sedgwick County and were ranked fourth at Saturday's league meet. Team standings in order of placing included Akron with 182 points, Wray 124, Sedgwick County 75, Holyoke 74, Merino 66 and Wiggins 62.
With 45 total points, Holyoke boys finished just behind Akron at sixth place. Other team scores in order of ranking are Wiggins with 132 points, Wray 128, Merino 104, Sedgwick County 94, Akron 46 and Holyoke 45.

In Honor of Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter
May this tribute and memorial prayer in honor of Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter extroadinaire, give comfort and also inspiration to continue his work.
"Dear Steve, you came into our lives
In unexpected ways
Made us aware of wild animals' plight
That knowledge will stay with us all days.
Your love for wild nature opened our thoughts
To see that in our earthly home
Man and animals together live
Never far apart we roam.
We depend on each other
Each playing a role
Respecting the animals
Allows them to grow.
Into their potential
In a healthy earth home
So all live and thrive
Man lives not alone.
We honor your bright life
The time you were here
Through your inspiration sparks
Ringing out loud and clear
We'll continue with wild animals
The work you held dear."

The motto today is...
Can't spot anyone 21 points and expect to win. Defense just didn't have enough gas for one last stand. Great offensive effort in the 2nd half and a pretty decent defensive effort in the 2nd half too.
On the bright side...
They have 2 weeks to sort this out. We'll get back on track.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
I don't think there is any question now that AA should be our starting QB. Just a gutsy performence by him and the entire offense.
What is it about this team that no matter how we win or lose, every week I have more hope.
The offense in the second half looked as good as it has anytime in the last two years. It looked abysmal in the first.

Im sick of talking about winning halfs of football. You give credit to the guys for coming back. But the effort in the first half was ______.(fill in the blank)
2nd half is how they should be playing. Hope they can keep it up. Loss still hurts since the 1st have was so bad. Bass is going to get touches now. Forgot how they got to OT when they were playing in OT.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
now we know how toledo felt when blythe did that twice on back to back plays
Hope JJ is out of the dog house now. He provided a spark IMO.
I'm kind of a big deal!
Well, ISU could easily be 4-0. A young team that has made a TON of mistakes. I don't think a ton qualifies it well enough but I don't know what would. Hopefully they correct them but these penalties are absolutely killing ISU.
I said it last week and I'll say it again. Iowa State Athletics: Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda
here is a thought...why not go for 2 at the end? Going to OT v. an offense that had 450 yards against you vs. needing 3 yards for the win...
great second half effort. wish we could have pulled it out. IT was a great second half to watch, I about turned it off at half time.
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things
I'm heart broken.

Totally agree. That first half was beyond any sort of excuse. That was one of the worst displays of football I've ever seen. As awful as it was, the second half ALMOST made up for it.
Receivers need to work on catching the damn ball and Arnaud needs to work on not trying to guide the ball in there (forcing it to go high) but just being confident on every pass and throwing it.
Defense - still horrible tackling - but got better intensity in the 2nd half.
arob did jack sqwat in the 2nd half, but bass atleast runs a lot harder

ASIS&T Member, Mats LIndquist, Wins The 2007 Tony Kent Strix Award For
Advancing the Field of Information Retrieval
The award is given in recognition both of Professor Lindquist's key role in the development of accessibility to an information service, and for his sustained contribution to the field of information retrieval generally over a number of years. Between 1980 and 1992 Mats Lindquist alternated as President and Marketing Director of Paralog, a software company which developed and marketed text retrieval software: the TRIP system is still in very much in use. During that time he was mainly responsible for moving the system from an experimental service to a fully fledged commercial operation - something which parallels the work of Tony Kent in moving the UK Chemical Information Service from an experimental basis at Nottingham University to a fully operational service and, indeed, for some months they worked together.
The nomination made clear that this is only one aspect of Professor Lindquist's work. His contributions to information science are too many and varied to list individually - as an academic and as senior executive officer at the National Library of Sweden, his commitment to moving information retrieval from a 'technical' solution for specialists to a more usable tool for a wider range of information managers and users particularly stands out.

Taking on dragons in the southern seas
(Page 3 of 3)
I said, "Why does anyone have to die?" I gave him one of my peanut butter bars, and that seemed to cheer him up. Then, suddenly, one of the dragons snapped his white forked tongue in and out and made a run at the group. Another ranger pushed him away with the long stick, and for some reason he walked off. I still can't believe I saw what I saw.
When we got back to the Komodo Island dock, we boarded small boats again and went off to a beach for a glad-to-be-alive snorkel. I just sat on the sand and counted my fingers and toes, having exceeded my risk tolerance for one day. I thought about where I was and how, just one year ago, I was fighting other dragons.

1965 Pontiac GTO - The Wedding PresentWritten by on January 25, 2014 Contributors: Christopher R. Phillip Joan Kennedy's GTO is a day one restoration and a tribute to her husband
Pontiacs have always been a part of Joan Kennedy's life. Her grandfather was a Pontiac dealer in Kansas in the '40s and early '50s, and her husband, John, raced a '60 Catalina.
It made sense then that just after they were married in 1965, they would order one—not just any Pontiac, but a Tri-Power, four-speed GTO with air conditioning. "I think John wanted to get married so badly because I had the down payment for the car!" Joan exclaimed. "I told him no racing with this one, as it was a family car."
Like a dutiful husband, he complied with his wife's wishes. He ordered all of the go-fast stuff for his satisfaction and some luxury equipment to keep Mama happy as well. No doubt he knew what he was doing.
John ordered the GTO with everything that a performance-oriented buyer would want: a 360-horse 389 Tri-Power, floor-shifted four-speed, Rally Gauge cluster, transistorized ignition, and a 3.23 differential with Safe-T-Track. There was a nice mix of luxury options as well, including air conditioning, tilt wheel, console, accessory light group, and an AM radio with rear-seat speaker. All in all, it was a really nicely optioned car that made for a '60s-style American Grand Tourer … and a very collectible car today.
Soon after the Kennedys took delivery of their Pontiac from Byron Stout Pontiac in Wichita, Kansas, they made some minor modifications to it—the kind of thing that we now refer to as "Day One." The original wheels, hubcaps, and shocks were taken off and safely put away. In their place, they bolted up a set of E-T mags (with a set of wider tires to improve handling) and a set of air shocks to raise the tail up for towing their boat. The stock white Hurst shiftball was replaced with a wood-grained '66 unit. Joan still has the original.
They used the GTO as their daily driver and took it on many trips over the years, including Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Arkansas, Kansas City, and Dallas. One trip that they took when towing the boat sticks in her mind even to this day. "We towed a big inboard boat, and one time in the Flint Hills, the boat started swaying," she recalled. "I was on the floorboards, but John downshifted and punched it, and the power of the engine straightened out the boat. It was awesome!"
Another time, they were using the GTO to tow a two-horse trailer. Upon driving into a pasture, a horse walked over to the car and bit the hood, leaving a large scratch in the process. "Whoa, what was that horse thinking?" she said to John. "Fortunately, he was able to rub out the scratch."
The GTO remained their daily driver until the late '70s, when it was retired and put into long-term storage. John always wanted to restore it, take it to shows, and relive his youth, but he passed away suddenly before he had the chance to get around to doing that, unfortunately.
"After John died, several people approached me about buying the car," Joan said. "Instead of someone else having [it] after storing it for so many years, I decided to have it restored. John wanted to restore it but felt guilty about the money it would take. I restored it because I felt guilty he didn't get the chance to enjoy it."
With the help of John's cousin, Robert, and his brother, Bill, they began the restoration. Even though the GTO was John and Joan's daily driver for more than a decade, it remained in very good condition. Still, there was a lot to be done.
The engine was removed and sent to Tom Wilhite of Wilhite's Auto Service in Derby, Kansas. Tom and his wife, Sharon, race Pontiacs, and he was able to expertly rebuild the 389 Tri-Power. The block was bored 0.030-inch over and fitted with TRW forged replacement pistons, which are fitted with Sealed Power chrome moly rings and swing on rebuilt cast connecting rods. The stock crank was polished and reused with a new National rear main seal.
The original No. 77 heads were rebuilt with a set of stock-sized Milodon Megaflow stainless-steel valves and Comp Cams valve-springs. A Comp Cams "068" replacement grind actuates Comp Cam lifters and roller rocker arms, as well as Sealed Power pushrods. The rest of the engine is stock, and flows through a custom-fabricated, 2.5-inch, dual-exhaust system.
The front suspension was rebuilt using new bushings and Delco shocks. The rear suspension was similarly rebuilt, but retains the Delco Pleasur-Ride air shocks that John added for towing.
Steve Nicholson at Classic Body Works in Peck, Kansas, handled the bodywork and paint. The GTO had fared well over the years but needed some attention in a couple of areas, most notably the corrosion that had accumulated around the back window due to its leaking. The driver-side rear quarter was also realigned to properly repair a parking-lot fender bender from decades ago. After that work was completed, the car was repainted using a modern basecoat/clearcoat system. The chrome and stainless trim were not polished or otherwise prepped as it wasn't needed.
Inside, the original interior has remained in excellent condition, needing only new carpeting and a replacement package shelf. The driver seat had one strip welt on the outside of the seatback replaced. Randa Upholstery in Derby, Kansas, performed all the interior work.
Since its completion, Joan has not driven her GTO very much, but takes it out when the sun is shining and the wind isn't blowing debris around. "In Kansas, that doesn't leave a big window of opportunity," she explains. "I try to drive it often enough to flex the tires and move fuel through the engine."
Still, she is a member of the GTOAA and the local chapter, the GR-RRR'8R Wichita GTO Club. She has shown the car at local events and received some award plaques in the process. Perhaps the most significant is the Cars Magazine plaque at the Automobilia Old Town Car Show & Street Party in Wichita. There were approximately 1,200 cars participating at that event. Not bad!
Many Pontiacs are much more than the metal that makes them. For their owners, they represent a history of their own lives, the memories that were made while in these cars, and the people affected along the way. For Joan, this '65 GTO represents the happy years of marriage she and John had, and also the devotion of their family to return it to its original splendor. It is a rolling monument to her husband, and she plans to continue sharing it with people for as long as she can. That's what the Pontiac hobby is really all about.

RPO Option 504 Rally Gauge cluster added a tachometer, water temperature, and oil pressure gauges. The redline on the tach was added as a running change during the model year—the earliest cars didn't have it.The original wheels, tires, and Deluxe wheel covers were replaced with a set of E-T five-spoke wheels when the GTO was new. The wheels are now shod with a set of Coker Redline Radials, while the originals are stored safely in her basement.The GTO's original window sticker shows the unusual combination of performance and luxury options ordered. In addition to the top dog 389 Tri-Power, four-speed manual transmission, transistorized ignition, and Safe-T-Track differential, this particular hardtop also features air conditioning, tilt wheel, Rally Gauge cluster, and power steering, but interestingly, no power brakes. It still resides with the original owner.

Had an interesting situation I thought I would share.
My son dropped his wii console some time ago, and damaged onehalf of the front faceplate to the point that it was hanging off. I guess he was manually moving it into position to eject his disks, but the whole mechanism eventaully became broken.
I know there are some other physical damage done to the wii and I plan to get him another when I can. The thing is, it stills plays his disks fine, but he can't eject it and the mechanism is broken, and I don't want to physicall mess with it any further as far as taking things apart.
I know there is no settings in the wii to activate the eject button, but I was wondering if there was a homebrew app that could do it.
Ahh indeed there is, it is called Wii Homebrew - Eject DVD v0.1 (google it)
Just click on the app and the disk ejects without having to physically mess with anything else.
just thought I would share this, since I have never heard of this app and never hear of this situation happening to ppl, but I'm sure it does.
JoostinOnline made a forwarder, and it can be found here.
Neat info. Never would have thought there would have been a program like that. Lucky for you there was, lol. I think I remember a user the other day who was trying to make a nand backup but his eject button was broke.
Good thanks-Well, how and where do i paste the folder into the sd card ??I placed it into the apps folder, but doesnt show up in HBC
OK I got this on the wii and it works, is there a way I can make it go back to Home menu? instead of homebrew channel?
Probably find a way if you do some searching or post the question in an area that is indended for wii related issues.
Never fails though, give someone a solution to an issue, and it's still not good enough for them lol.
Spoon fed comes to mind.
"The worst thing you can do is not to get old, but to close your mind to others that you think lack the experiences you have had. " Oddgriffin"I don't mind having problems. I'm sure anyone who has spent time on here reading my rants will tend to agree." Darkcide666<-- If I helped click "Thanks"
As long as we are spooning, excuse me, I mean spoonfeeding, I thought I would go ahead and post this link.
I made it almost 2 months ago. It is just a channel version of the app so people wouldn't need the HBC or an SD card to eject. I had never made a channel before, so it is nothing more than a STATIC banner.

First, a quick word about mountains plate tectonics. Mountains form where continental plates overlap and one plate is pushed down and another is pushed up [or] where magma punches through the plate (again usually along the crack between plates) and pushes up a volcano. When this happens in the ocean, only the very peaks are visible above the surface.
Second, look at some real islands:
Pacific Islands
Notice that the mountain ridge tends to run along the center with flatter plains along the coast. Note also that rivers, when they occur, tend to be short and run from the edge of the mountain to the coast. Note also the frequent occurrence of lakes at the foothills where the mountains transition to coastal plains.
For your map, I suggest that you first decide where the ridges run perhaps along the center of the bottom and left land masses. If you want a continuous ridge, then place the mountains continuously along the ridge line and transition to hills where the ridge approaches the coast. If you prefer more distinct mountains, then pick several points furthest from the coast to be the peaks of the mountains with hilly terrain around the mountain and perhaps a flat plain between them.
I hope that helps.
[PS. Just a quick note that the ridge can run along one side of the island rather than down the center, creating a steep rocky coast on one side and broad plains sloping to the sea on the other.]

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) -- Joey Logano boosted his chances of reaching the Chase for the Sprint Cup, winning for the first time this season in a fuel-mileage race at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday.
Logano and Kevin Harvick both breezed past Mark Martin with just over three laps to go in the 400-mile, 200-lap race. Martin had been trying to stretch fuel, but when he faltered, Logano was able to hold off Harvick.
Logano entered the weekend in 16th place in the points standings. After winning the pole Friday, he took Sunday's race by 1 second over Harvick, who is safely near the top of the standings.
There are three races left before the Chase.
Points leader Jimmie Johnson lasted less than 60 laps before engine trouble knocked him out.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James read a statement about the arrest of Andrea Sneiderman during a press conference Thursday.
READ | Full indictment for Sneiderman
Good afternoon.
On November 18, 2010, Hemy Neuman shot and murdered Rusty Sneiderman, a 36-year-old businessman and father of two in the parking lot of his son's daycare center in Dunwoody, Ga.
Today, at 10 a.m., a DeKalb County grand jury returned an eight-count indictment for Andrea Sneiderman.
Ms. Sneiderman was placed under arrest earlier today and is currently being booked at the DeKalb County Jail.
The indictment returned by the grand jury earlier today is being filed with the DeKalb County Clerk of Superior Court.
Outlined in the 19-page indictment are eight counts that I, along with Chief Assistant Don Geary, are prepared to argue in a court of law.
The counts are as follows:
Count 1: Violation of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act
Count 2: Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder
Count 3: Malice Murder
Count 4: Insurance Fraud
Counts 5 & 6: Making a False Statement
Counts 7 & 8: Perjury
Our collective goal is to continue to seek justice and preserve the public safety of our community, not only for the Sneiderman family, but for anyone who has lost a loved one because of violent crime.
We will not try this case in the media nor will discuss the evidence that will be presented at trial.
Our job is to present the facts, the truth and to seek justice.
As many of you know, procedurally, an arraignment calendar is the next step, and if the defendant does not plead guilty at the arraignment calendar, then it would be bound over to a trial calendar.
My Chief Assistant D.A. Don Geary and I are prepared to move forward with a trial.
Again, to ensure the integrity of this case, I will be unable to answer any questions from the media as it pertains to the evidence. Thank you.

At this time of year we start thinking of spring. Over the years we have had the pleasure of attending many food and wine events and a few stand out at that time of year.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- D.C. Police are still searching for the suspects in Monday's drive-by shooting that wounded 13 people in North Capitol.
On Tuesday, a D.C. Councilmember Tommy Wells said he's worried about retaliation escalating the violence.
"Oh man, my son, he was crying, Daddy, Daddy," said Darius Day.
Tyler House residents like Darius Day say they're living on edge, worried that this drive-by shooting could lead to more violence.
"Very concerned about any retaliation."
Councilmember Wells came to Tyler House to reassure residents that solving this crime is the city's top priority. But even the Councilmember admits they've got few leads.
"Very impressive how little is known about what happened," he said.
Police spent Tuesday executing search warrants on at least two cars that might have been used in the shooting. But so far, no arrests and no motive.
"We've had a number of car break-ins. We've had a number of robberies and events around the two nightclubs and... I'm definitely going to do my best to remove the nightclubs from this area," Councilmember Wells said.
The nightclubs sit right in the middle of this up and coming NOMA neighborhood. On this side, the North Capitol Street side where Tyler House is located, is where the shooting took place. But on the other side you've got a lot of new development, new residential and office spaces.
So a lot of people including Councilmember Wells are worried that these night clubs are hurting the growth of this area.
"Having nightclubs in this area is incompatible with the new, emerging neighborhood," Wells said.
"For people, you know, drinking and partying, it doesn't mix with a community that's trying to come up,"Day said.
To make matters worse, the Boys and Girls Club, that is one block away, is closing at the end of the month.
"So where are these kids going to go? What are they going to do?" Day said.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Our laboratory studies cancer cell metabolism, tumor immunology, metastasis, and cellular responses to oxygen deprivation.
Key words: metastasis, cancer metabolism, immunology, hypoxia, mouse models of pancreatic, colorectal, liver, sarcoma, and renal cancer.
Description of Research
Due to vascular insufficiency, solid tumors frequently harbor domains where cells have limited access to oxygen and blood-borne nutrients. Molecular oxygen (O2) is an essential nutrient serving as a key substrate for mitochondrial ATP production and numerous intracellular biochemical reactions. The maintenance of oxygen homeostasis is therefore essential for the survival of most prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. O2 deprivation (hypoxia) triggers complex adaptive responses at the cellular, tissue, and organismal levels to match O2 supply with metabolic and bioenergetic demands. In the face of hypoxic stress, mammalian cells temporarily arrest cell cycle progression, reduce energy consumption, and secrete survival and pro-angiogenic factors. These events are coordinated by engaging multiple, evolutionarily conserved molecular responses mediated by the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcriptional regulators, mTOR signaling, autophagy, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses. Whereas severe hypoxia is observed in many pathological situations, including tissue ischemia, arthritis, wound healing, inflammation, and solid tumors, it is important to note that developing embryos and adult tissues also harbor natural O2 gradients that impact multiple cellular phenotypes, including quiescence, macromolecular synthesis, differentiation, and migration. The overall goal of our research is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which changes in O2 and nutrient availability modulate normal tissue homeostasis and mammalian pathology, with a particular focus on cancer cell metabolic reprogramming, metastasis, and the link between chronic inflammation and cancer predisposition.
Because a solid tumor cannot grow unless it acquires new blood vessels from surrounding host tissues, the HIFs are necessary for tumor progression, given that they regulate blood vessel formation. Mutations in multiple tumor suppressor genes lead to HIF stimulation, tumor angiogenesis, and tumor growth. Our studies have shown that the HIFs are also clearly important for tumor metastasis. We have created conditional alleles of HIF-1alpha, HIF-2alpha, and the gene encoding their common dimerization partner ARNT to determine how they affect tumor growth in the kidney, pancreas, muscle, and intestine. This will allow us to genetically dissect the role of HIFs in all phases of tumor progression: latency, size, altered cell metabolism, vascularity, and metastasis. In addition to studying the role of HIFs in mouse models, we are also evaluating their activity in human patient samples, focusing on specimens acquired from individuals with renal clear cell carcinoma, sarcoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer. Cancer cell metabolic reprogramming is also impacted by variable O2 and nutrient levels in solid tumors. Finally, HIF-regulated adaptations within the tumor must be integrated with other oxygen-sensing pathways, such as mTOR, autophagy, and the ER unfolded protein response. Our ongoing studies will delineate each of these pathways in cancer cell metabolic adaptations, hoping to further exploit them for therapeutic benefit.
Research Techniques
Generation of standard and conditional knockout and transgenic mice, ex vivo developmental models of organogenesis, mouse models of human cancer, gene expression profiling using next generation sequencing, array cGH (the Illumina platform), molecular biology, biochemistry, metabolomics, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, histology, immunohistochemistry, animal surgery, electron microscopy, and confocal microscopy.
Rotation Projects
Continued analysis of the role of hypoxia-inducible factors, mTOR, autophagy, and ER stress responses in altering tumor metabolism, angiogenesis, recruitment of inflammatory cells, metastasis, and tumor progression. Other projects will focus on cellular oxygen sensing and distinct adaptations provided by HIF-1 versus HIF-2.

Student-Athletes Attend "Skip a Meal, Scoop a Soup"
AMES, Iowa – Eleven student-athletes donated their time and helped organize for the fourth annual "Skip a Meal, Scoop a Soup" benefit, put on by the City of Ames Nov. 19.
Many student-athletes and participants of the event came to the realization that there is hunger in the world. Junior women's gymnast Jennifer Hornbaker mentioned the fact that homelessness can even take place right here in the small town of Ames, Iowa.
"It was a great opportunity to get active in the community by helping those less fortunate," said Hornbaker. "Many people don't realize that in Ames, just like in bigger cities, there are people who are going without shelter and food."

For the fourth year the City of Ames has organized an event of this nature to help promote hungerness and homelessness for area residents. Eleven student-athletes took time away from their busy schedules to lend a helping hand, serving soup and collecting donations from Ames residents.
Those student-athletes that served soup and donated time in this effort included athletes from the men's basketball squad, football team, women's gymnastics, and the men's and women's track and field programs.
Life Skills Coordinator Jamie Hurst felt that there was a pressing need in the Ames community for awareness of hungerness and homelessness. She attended the event along with many City of Ames officials and the student-athletes in front of Ames City Hall.
"It was an incredible gesture by the City of Ames to include Iowa State student-athletes in the Skip a Meal, Scoop a Soup event," said Hurst. "Vanessa Baker-Latimer and the rest of the Ames Housing staff put on a wonderful event, and again we are so thankful for the opportunity to give back to the Ames community."
The main goal of this event was for community members to skip a meal and donate the money they would have spent on their afternoon lunch to an agency addressing hunger. This event took place in conjuction with the annual National Hunger and Homelessness week. Those who donated money and other items to the cause also went home with a warm bowl of soup on a cold November day.
Hornbaker left City Hall that day with a different perspective on life in Ames, and was glad she could lend a helping hand.
"Our hope was that instead of buying lunch, people would donate their lunch money and indulge in a bowl of hot soup on us," said Hornbaker. "Volunteering yesterday afternoon helped me take a step back and appreciate how truly blessed I am."
