Coattail riders are nothing new to the Sundance Film Festival. The vortex of attention generated by this internationally-renowned event has certainly become much more than the sum of its parts. One event, however, that seems to be rising from Sundance's dust is the Slamdance Film Festival, which since 1995 has run at the same time as Sundance in the Treasure Mountain Inn at the top of Park City's Main Street.
The best way to describe Slamdance may be as a much more accessible, yet completely viable alternative, to Sundance. Slamdance shows far fewer feature length films than Sundance, but about the same number of shorts. And though Slamdance organizers claim their fest's films are of the same vein as films you'd see at Sundance, my impression is that Slamdance takes itself much less seriously than it's much bigger and better-funded counterpart.
While waiting for the bus at Park City's Main Street transit center, I met Michelle Anderson and Theresa Harkins, a pair of 50-ish friends from Seattle who've spent ladies-only vacations in Park City for the past 10 years during Sundance. Over time, however, they've gradually shifted from seeing mostly Sundance films to Slamdance movies. "They are a lot easier to get tickets for and are usually more quirky and out there," Anderson said.
Both the media and the film industry have taken notice of Slamdance as well. The video-on-demand service Gravitas Ventures announced on Tuesday that three acquisitions from the Slamdance Film Festival will become available in limited theatrical release and in over 100 million homes in the next three months. And indewire.com led their coverage of Sundance week not with predictions for Robert Redford's festival, but picked five breakout films from Slamdance.
One of Indiewire's top picks is "Ghost Team One," a comedic take on the found-footage/paranormal genre Slamdance helped shove into the spotlight several years ago. I happened upon "Ghost Team" producer Adam Mutchler while he was hanging his film's posters on Main Street. "Slamdance is great. They take a much more hands on, more one-on-one approach to the filmmakers than Sundance. We are very excited to be here," Mutchler said.
Though Slamdance wraps a few days before Sundance—this year's event ends on Thursday, January 24—there is still time to catch a Slamdance film or two, including the final Park City screening of "Ghost Team One." For details, go to slamdance.com.

Jasper Place Revitalization
Jasper Place Area Redevelopment Plan Adopted
One of the key goals identified by the Jasper Place Revitalization Strategy was to develop an Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP). This work was completed with the adoption of the Jasper Place ARP on August 24, 2015. Visit the project webpage to learn more about the ARP will help shape change and growth in Jasper Place.
Stony Plain Road Streetscape Improvements
Stony Plain Road is emerging as one of West Edmonton's key destinations. In 2013, the City began streetscape improvements to help make Stony Plain Road more accessible, better designed and pedestrian-friendly.
Jasper Place Vision
The people involved in the Jasper Place Revitalization Strategy envision:
Goal 1: Feeling safe in our community.
Create a community where feeling safe is common. Where children can play freely, residents and visitors can walk and ride bikes safely, and where drugs and crime are under control. The Jasper Place area will be known as a safe community in which to live, work and play.
Goal 2: Connecting our community.
Create a community where neighbours and business owners know each other, and all work together to resolve issues and create opportunities. Residents and business owners take pride in their community and share this pride through street appeal, cleanliness, and events. A community newspaper and other efforts help to market a positive image.
Goal 3: Building our community.
Jasper Place is the place to live and have a business. Store fronts are well kept, clean and bring pride to the area. Parkland, schools and pedestrian walkways have plenty of lighting. Sidewalks, roadways and signage are improved and safe for all users. Adult businesses are only a small component of area business.

To our users Please note that the HCV database site is no longer funded. We try to keep the database updated and the tools running, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee we can provide help for using this site. Data won't be manually curated either.
For both nucleotide or amino acid sequences, a maximum of 500 sequences can be processed.
Highlighter takes nucleotide and amino acid alignments as input. The alignments can be in any Common Sequence Format. For nucleotides, the input should be codon aligned if you wish to use the silent and non-silent statistics.
The highlighter tool for nucleotide sequences handles sequences of different size such that sequences shorter than the master sequence are extended with dashes ('-') to the same length as the master sequence and sequences longer will be trimmed to the same length as the master sequence.
The highlighter tool for amino acid sequences does not currently have this feature and instead will prompt the user to correct the data set.
If unchecked, each sequence is evaluated to be nucleotide, amino acid, or indeterminate.
If more than 2% of the characters are unambiguous amino acids [QEILFP] then the sequence is protein.
If more that 94% of the characters are ATGCUNRY, it is a nucleotide sequence. Otherwise, it is an ambiguous sequence.
Unchecking the box allows the user to submit sequences that only have amino acid characters in places of mutation, and the rest of the sequence positions are represented by dashes or other characters.
For example:
Master T F Q P S S G G D L E I Seq1 - - M - - - - - - - - - Seq2 - - D - - - - - - D - -
will result in regular output only if the 'Ignore alphabet validation' checkbox is checked.
This feature enables you to select the sequence(s) that will act as master.
If the box is not clicked, the top sequence will be taken as the master by default. When multiple masters are required while using the option match, the top n sequences will be taken as masters where n is a number specified by the user. However, when the change masters button is clicked, the sequences will be extracted from the input file and a check box will be displayed. Using these checkboxes, you can select the sequences you want to use as masters. All master sequences have to be of the same length.
NOTE: When there are multiple selections but only one master is needed, any one of the selections will be used as master.
This option enables you to find the nucleotides/amino acids in a query sequence that do not match with those in a SINGLE master sequence. The nucleotides/amino acids that do not match with the master are assigned a color. The example below describes mismatches in a nucleotide sequence:
Consider the following sequences,
Master A G T T A G Query T A G C A G Result | | | |
In the above example, the query sequence differs from the master in the positions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Hence these changes in the query are indicated by a "|" in a color depending on which nucleotide is present in the given location in the query.
This option enables you to compare query sequences with the master and highlight transitions, transversions and A<->G transitions with the following colors:
= Transversions = C<->T Transitions = A<->G Transitions = Transition or transversion
Consider the following sequences,
Master A T G C A T M Query - A A G G C G Result | | | | | | |
In the above example, all transitions except the one in the 6th position is an A<->G transition and is hence marked in light blue. All the transversions are marked in pink. In the last position (7), M of the master represents A or C and the query has a G in the corresponding position, hence this could be either a transition or transversion and is marked in green.
This option enables you to compare query NUCLEOTIDE sequences with the master and highlight silent and non-silent mutations with the following colors.
= Silent = Non-silent
Consider the following sequences,
Master ATG ACT AAT TAG Query ATG ACC GTT TAA Result | | | |
The tool converts the nucleotide sequences to the corresponding amino acid sequences and highlights silent and non-silent mutations. In the above example, the second codon (ACT) in the master encodes threonine, and the corresponding codon in the query (ACC) also codes for the same, hence this is shown as a silent mutation. In contrast, the 3rd codon in the master (AAT) codes for amino acid asparagine, while the corresponding codon in the query (GTT) codes for valine, hence this is shown as a non-silent mutation.
This tool uses SNAP to calculate the statistics. It only compares the Master sequence with the other sequences and does not compare all pairs of sequences. For a more detailed analysis of silent and non-silent mutations, please use SNAP.
This option enables you to identify the matching nucleotides/amino acids between a single or multiple masters and a query sequence. If the number of masters is entered as 2, the top 2 sequences in the file will be considered as master sequences.
Each of the masters is assigned a unique color and is matched to each of the query sequences. The nucleotide/amino acid matches in the query are highlighted in the color of the master that it matched.
Consider the following example:
Master1 A T T G G C Master2 A G G C A T Query1 A G T T A G Result A | | T | G
In the above example, the G in position 2 of the query matches with master2 and is indicated by a green "|" in the respective position in the result. The query sequence also matches with the T of master1 in position 3 and this is indicated by the red "|". The query matches with both master1 and master2 in position 1 and hence this position is left uncolored as only unique matches are displayed in the result. With regards to positions 4 and 6, since there are no matches, this is treated as a polymorphic site and depending on the option chosen to label polymorphisms, this is either left uncolored or is colored black. For more info on labeling polymorphisms, see below.
Consider the following example:
Master1 A T T G G C Master2 A T G C A T Master3 A G G C A T Query1 A G T T A T Result A | | T | |
In the above example, the last two positions in the query match two masters. By default, these two positions are not labeled in the final figure. They are represented only when the user selects the check box "Label multiple matches when more than 2 matches are used as reference", in which case they will be represented with gray bars as shown in the example above.
Consider the following sequences,
Master1: ATTGATA Master2: ATTGTTA Query1 : ATTGCTA
All the sequences above are identical except for the nucleotides in the 5th position. While the master sequences have an A and T in their respective positions, Query1 has a C. By selecting the option to label polymorphisms, these mismatches will also be indicated in black, while they will be ignored if this option is not selected.
This option highlights successive matches with bars as shown below:
Master1 A T T G G C Master2 A G G C A T Query1 A T T T A G Result T | G
In the example, the first three successive matches are represented as a single long bar as shown when the 'Use bars to indicate successive matches' option is selected. If the option is not selected, the matches are represented as regular vertical lines as shown in position 5.
When a match is done with the option "treat gaps as character", the gaps are treated as a "fifth nucleotide" ("21st amino acid") and a gap in the query is matched with a gap in the master in the same position.
Consider the following example:
Master1 - T T G G - Master2 A G G C A - Query1 - G T T A - Result | | | T | G
In the above example, when "treat gaps as character" is selected, the gap in the 1st position of the query is matched with the gap in the first position of master 1. However, the gap in the 6th position is not taken into account and is ignored because it matches with more than one master. For more details on match see above.
Mismatch, Transition & transversion, and Silent & non-silent:
When any of the above options are run with the option "treat gaps as a character", a gap IN THE QUERY is highlighted in gray for nucleotides and amino acids if there is no gap in the master sequence at the same position. If the "treat gaps as character" option is not chosen, such a gap is ignored.
When the option "match IUPAC codes" is selected, the following IUPAC codes are also considered during a match or mismatch:
Character Meaning M A and C R A and G W A and T S C and G Y C and T K G and T B C and G and T H A and C and T V A and C and G D A and G and T N A or C or G or T ? Any state or nothing
When the ignore option is selected, the tool skips over the IUPAC code in the sequence and does not perform any comparison in that position.
In this case, the tool treats IUPAC codes as regular characters without using the nucleotides they stand for while comparing. For example, although R stands for A and G, while using this option it will match ONLY another R.
When IUPAC codes are included in the match, the codes are also matched based on the nucleotides they represent. For example, if the master had an M in the 2nd position and the query had an R in the corresponding position, then this is considered a match because M could be an A and so could R. Whereas, if the master had a C in the 2nd position and the query had a D in the same position then this would not be a match because D includes everything but C.
Consider the following example:
Master1 A M R W ? T G C ? ? - - - - ? Master2 M H N D ? Y ? T ? G - A A - T Query1 B T A C A T ? M ? T - - ? ? - Result | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
In the above example, in the first position, the query matches with Master 2 because the B in the query matches with M in Master 2 since both codes can represent C. Position 2 shows a similar example. In position 3, A in the query matches both Master 1 and Master 2 hence this match is not shown. Looking at position 4, we find that the C in the query does not match with either W(A and T) or D(A and G and T). If the option label polymorphisms is selected, then this is labeled black, else it is ignored. To learn more, see Label Polymorphisms. When a question mark is present in the query during a match, it is considered a match with all the masters and is ignored. Whereas, if it is present in a master and the query does not match with any other masters in the corresponding position, then this is considered a match and is shown. This is demonstrated in the example in positions 7, 9, 13, 14 and 15.
Mismatch, transitions & transversions and silent & non-silent:
When IUPAC codes are included in any of the above cases, a difference is shown only if there are no common nucleotides between the IUPAC codes. Consider the following example during mismatch:
Master R M A T G C - D ? ? Query A H W G G D A B A ? Result A H W | G | | B A ?
In the above example, the first three positions of the query match with the first three positions of the master and hence are not shown. Whereas at the 4th position, the T in the master does not match with the G in the query and this is shown in yellow. Similarly at position 6, the master has a C while the query has a D which represents the nucleotides A, G and T. Hence this is considered a mismatch.
When the "Sort sequences by similarity" option is chosen, the sequences are compared to the first sequence in the alignment file and are sorted according to their similarity with this sequence. The most similar sequence is placed at the top of the result graph and the least similar at the bottom. When there are multiple masters, the sequences are sorted according to their similarity with the first sequence in the alignment file.
When the "Sort sequences by tree" option is chosen, the sequences are sorted based on their evolutionary relationship. If the user does not supply a tree file, the program will generate one using the phylogenetic analysis tool PAUP.
When the "Do not sort" option is chosen, the sequences in the result set will appear in the same order they are in the supplied alignment file.

College Hockey:Polar Opposite: Miami Edges UNO With Third-Period Burst
OXFORD, Ohio — One night after the No. 5 Miami RedHawks (10-4-0, 7-3-0 CCHA) brought a tremendous offensive attack against the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks (3-6-3, 2-5-1 CCHA) by scoring seven goals, the RedHawks only needed two to tally the victory against their conference foe, beating the Mavericks 2-1 at the Steve Cady Ice Arena to complete the series sweep.
"Tonight was a really good college hockey game," said RedHawk head coach Enrico Blasi. "It was just a matter of who got that one play to score the winner."
The second game of the series was the opposite of the first as both teams went scoreless through two periods. However, special teams and defense would be the deciding factor, as the RedHawks scored both of their goals on special teams.
"We work a lot on our penalty kill and it's a key point for us going into any weekend," Blasi said.
The difference-maker for both teams was the superb play of their goaltenders. Maverick goalie Jerad Kaufmann played well as he stopped 32 of 34 shots, while RedHawk goalie Jeff Zatkoff stopped 34 of 35 on his way to his sixth victory of the season.
"He played great all weekend and we have a lot of confidence in him. He knew he was going to play well," Blasi said.
Neither team scored during the first period; both had chances on the power play, but could not get anything into the back of the net.
The story remained the same for another 20 minutes. There were plenty of opportunities for both teams on the power play, as well as the penalty kill, but no goals.
"I thought our penalty kill was amazing tonight," Zatkoff said. "We had more chances on their power play than they did."
However, neither team could put anything past either of the superb goaltenders. After the second period, Zatkoff and Kaufmann stopped all the shots they saw. The goalies also had plenty of help from their defensive units on even strength and the penalty kill. There was a big difference in the penalty-kill unit for the Mavericks tonight as they were more aggressive near the net.
"They changed their penalty kill tonight and they were more aggressive," said RedHawk captain Ryan Jones.
Through two periods, the RedHawks and Mavericks combined for 16 penalties, still going scoreless on the power play. There were a few scuffles in the period and Maverick head coach Mike Kemp was happy with the way his team stood up for themselves.
"Our team hasn't been a real physical team. Frankly, I was glad to see it because we engaged more," Kemp said.
The RedHawks started the third period on the power play, and the scoreless tie ended just 31 seconds into the period when RedHawk center Nathan Davis poked in a power-play rebound off an Alec Martinez slapshot. Forward Brian Kaufman was also credited with an assist on Davis' team-leading 12th goal of the season.
Referee Brian Aaron laid down the law throughout the game, as there were plenty of scuffles after the whistle was blown.
One of those incidents happened near the middle of the third period at 8:24 when a fight broke out in front of the net. That ended with two players from each team sent off to the box and Maverick forward Mick Lawrence sent to the locker room for a game misconduct.
"Those things tend to happen at the end of the weekend and tempers happen to flare," said Jones.
The Mavericks got on the board at 10:19 as a result of a RedHawk penalty. The goal came 4-on-4 when forward Alex Nikiforuk received a pass from defenseman Phil Angell and skated to the top of the right circle to fire a wrist shot on the high stick side of Zatkoff.
"Obviously there were a lot of positives to come out of this game," Kemp said. "If you play the right way, things will turn around for you."
The RedHawks broke the tie on the penalty kill at 16:44. As the RedHawks skated shorthanded, RedHawk captain Ryan Jones received a pass from Davis and skated in alone to slide the puck past Kauffman and tally his eighth goal of the season. It also was Davis' tenth multi-point game of the season.
"(Ryan's) our leader and when there's a big play to be made, he's involved," said Blasi.
The RedHawks skated to a 2-1 victory and remained in first place in the CCHA. According to Blasi, his team has been improving all year.
"I think we're getting better and slowly improving in every aspect of our game," Blasi said.
Next weekend, the RedHawks will travel east to face St. Lawrence and Clarkson while the Mavericks will be back at home against Notre Dame.

STS-118 -- Mission to the International Space Station
Seven astronauts made up the STS-118 space shuttle crew. They are Scott Kelly, Charlie Hobaugh, Dave Williams, Barbara Morgan, Rick Mastracchio, Tracy Caldwell and Alvin Drew Jr. The commander of the mission was Scott Kelly. Hobaugh was the pilot. Mastracchio, Morgan, Caldwell, Williams and Drew were all mission specialists.
The STS-118 space shuttle mission patch has a gray shape of the International Space Station. The star at the top of the gold astronaut symbol sits on the part of the ISS that was added during the mission. The space shuttle on the patch has flown around the symbol, leaving a trail that looks like an American flag. NASA's first Educator Astronaut flew on this mission. The flame of knowledge shows the importance of education and honors all teachers and students. A red maple leaf sits next to Williams' name. He is from Canada. The red maple leaf is part of Canada's flag.
The STS-118 space shuttle crew had a lot to do before it flew. The crewmembers picked the foods they would eat while in space. Some of them trained in the motion-based simulator at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This simulator helps astronauts practice flying the shuttle. It moves and makes noises to help the astronauts know what flying on the shuttle is like.
The crewmembers learned how to use parachutes in case they had an emergency and had to get out of the shuttle quickly. All of the crew worked in the training version of the shuttle launch and entry suit. NASA astronauts use this suit because the bright orange color is easy to see if the astronauts have to make a water landing. The crew also learned how to use a one-person life raft during training at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory near NASA's Johnson Space Center. This kind of raft would only be used in case of an emergency shuttle landing in water.
The STS-118 space shuttle mission was a special one for teachers. Mission specialist Barbara Morgan is a teacher and a fully trained astronaut. Educator Astronauts share the excitement of space exploration with students. As part of this mission, students can design and build plant growth chambers that could be used on the moon. Morgan and her crewmates took two plant growth chambers and 10 million basil seeds on the STS-118 space shuttle mission. Teachers can use the plant growth chambers built by their students to grow these seeds.

I love both of these pictures. Interesting comment above - I think that Phoebe Howard's bed (in the bottom picture) is incredibly beautiful, and everything can be bought from her store - they have it all set up so that customers can come in and say 'I want it just like that'. However, it takes a lot of money to buy this look. The bed is custom designed by Phoebe - it is beautiful - iron and upholstered headboard. The linens are all top notch, high quality.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to get a tour of the beautiful home that has the bedroom in the second picture. When I walked into the bedroom, it was like seeing an old and familiar friend! Here is an interesting tidbit - the magazine editors photoshopped out the nude figure in the painting above the bed! It is a very tasteful and small nude, but they did not want to offend their readers.
Come see my post today for more pictures of this fabulous city apartment!

Hundreds of critics opposing a controversial plan to halve the number of Nassau County police precincts packed the county legislative chamber Monday during a rowdy public hearing on the proposal as police brass released new details.
The plan would convert four of the eight police precincts into "community policing centers" and reorganize the precinct map for the remaining four full-service stationhouses while maintaining the current 177 patrol cars on the streets at any given time. About 100 administrative positions—13 civilian and the rest police officers and supervisors—would be cut either through attrition or layoffs.
"The only people who will notice the change are the criminals," Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Dale told the legislature's public safety committee, insisting that the plan will not impact public safety. "The realignment will allow us to address the current fiscal crisis facing the county and the Nassau County Police Department."
Republican County Executive Ed Mangano has said the plan would save $20 million at a time the administration has been trying to fill a $300 million budget gap after a state watchdog declared a fiscal crisis last year. His proposal was approved 4-3 along party lines by the public safety committee in the GOP-controlled legislature while Democratic lawmakers questioned whether those savings would be realized this year.
"The details seem to change daily, if not hourly, since this was first laid out," said Legis. Dave Denenberg (D-Merrick). "The numbers don't add up and to compromise public safety without any measurable savings makes no sense at all."
Legis. Joseph Scannell (D-Baldwin), a former prosecutor, said he is concerned that the proposal has cast doubt on a long-sought multi-million-dollar plan to rebuild the aging First Precinct stationhouse.
"This is the worst piece of legislation that this legislature has had before it," he said.
Legis. Joseph Belesi (R-Farmingdale), a former Nassau police sergeant, was heckled by police officers in the audience while trying to explain why he voted to move the plan out of committee.
"I'm not voting for the party," he said.
The hearing followed a rally against the proposal outside the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building in Mineola. A member of the Elmont community concerned about the Fifth Precinct stationhouse being downgraded submitted a petition with more than 750 signatures of those reportedly opposed to the plan.
"Perception is everything these days," said David Sabatino of Valley Stream. "The perception is the criminals are winning."
The plan is expected to be voted on by the full legislature at their next meeting on Feb. 27. If approved, it would take through the end of 2012 to implement.
"I felt like a crew member on the Italian cruise ship and my captain is saying, 'Hey, we're going to get closer to land, it's a good thing,'" said Glen Ciccone, president of the Nassau Detectives Association, referring to last month's deadly Costa Concordia disaster. "This plan is completely and utterly insane."

Feb. 7, 1998
LUBBOCK, Texas - Cory Carr and Rayford Young scored 25 points apiece as Texas Tech cruised to its fourth straight conference win in a 102-75 victory over Texas A&M.
With 3:52 remaining in the first half the Tech bomb squad took over the game. Stan Bonewitz hit on two three point attempts and Carr and Young added one each as the Red Raiders made four unanswered triples. Tech never looked back after the 12-0 run and led by as many as 31 in the second half.
Brock Barnes threw in three consecutive tree pointers to take Tech over the 100 point mark in the closing minutes of the game.
"I think it's just an example of us playing defense and shooting the basketball," Carr said. "It was a total team effort. We played two halves for a change and really played a great game."
DaiMon Roberts came off the bench to equal his career high 12 points. Roberts played 18 minutes in the game as he replaced starter Cliff Owens when Owens left with a busted lip and concussion.
Bonewitz had a game season high nine assists to go along with 14 points on the game to help the Raiders score 102 points, the team's highest total ever in a Big 12 game.
"Weire getting a stronger bond and weire getting better," Texas Tech coach James Dickey said. "Now they know they're a good basketball team and confidence is something we had been missing for quite a while."

Alta the cat, who miraculously survived the largest wildfire in Washington State history, continues to amaze the talented veterinary staff that is dedicated to her care. The little cat was discovered near Alta Lake Golf Course by good Samaritans Heidi Brown and her boyfriend, Brad, and has been recuperating at Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital.
Heidi and Brad waded through burning ash to rescue Alta, sustaining severe burns to their own feet in the process. Once Alta recovers, she will be going to a forever home with the very people who took her from the embers of the fire.
Earlier this summer, the Carlton Complex fire quickly grew to become the largest wildfire in Washington State's history, burning more than 250,000 acres and destroying 300 homes. One person died fighting the flames and countless animals perished in the fire. But one little survivor from the Washington wildfires continues to beat the odds, thanks to the dedicated staff at Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital.
The Veterinary Hospital posted on their Facebook page this weekend: "Miss Alta Kitty [enjoyed] couch time with Dr. Shelton at his house...she came home to spend the weekend and celebrate no more paw wraps...woohoo!
Also still getting her burn medication..which she doesn't really love, but complains less every day. P.S....she never stopped purring."
At the end of July, Dr. Shelton from the veterinary hospital took the day off to drive Alta five hours to Pullman, Washington, for treatment at the Washington State University (WSU) Veterinary Clinic. After examining Alta, Dr. Fransson at WSU stated that her treatment thus far had been absolutely perfect - and that she wouldn't change a thing. The fourth year veterinary students dubbed the resilient little cat "Adorable Alta" and someone was with her 24/7, providing Alta with constant love, care, and attention.
On Aug. 3, Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital Stated on their Facebook page: "A huge shout out to Joni and Dave Lewman for driving to Pullman today and bringing our Alta Kitty back to us this evening! An eight-hour journey, and are we ever happy to see Alta! She looks absolutely wonderful...look at her gorgeous eyes!
"Our team member Brandi stopped by to give a cuddle and Alta's forever parents Heidi and Brad (saviors from the fire) and Uncle Hans also stopped to ooo and ahhh! We all fell in love with Alta again. No matter what, she purrs and rubs her face along your face. She just wants to be held and told just how beautiful she is - cause it's the truth! Welcome back Miss Alta!"
Alta originally came in to the veterinary hospital with second degree burns and abrasions across her body, including her eyes, ears, nose, and pads - but she's responding well to treatment. Alta bravely endured dressing changes on her burned feet and after several long weeks, she no longer needs her bandages. Even with her burnt ears and face, her beauty, affection, and gratitude shine through. And Alta is helping other animals, as well: her amazing rescue inspired a fund to help other animals like her recover from these devastating fires.
The "Alta Good Samaritan Fund" will help the animals who have been impacted by the fire. Donations can be sent to Lake Chelan Veterinary Hospital, P.O. Box 1238, Chelan, WA 98816. Please mark "Attn: Alta Good Samaritan Fund" on all checks. Donors can also call the office at (509) 682 5812 for credit card donations.
The towns of Carlton and Pateros - where Alta came from - are devastated. It's a miracle that Alta walked out of the fire - and a bigger miracle yet that she was found by a good Samaritan who knew just what to do. Until she goes to her forever home with Heidi and Brad, Alta will continue receiving the best veterinary care – and the love of a community that appreciates her courage and embodiment of hope during this tragic time.

It looked like it was going to be a case of here we go again for the University of Michigan football team.
The 17th-ranked Wolverines began the season 7-0, then lost to Michigan State its last time out. After a week to lick its wounds after a bitter loss to its instate rival, Michigan faced unranked Purdue at the Big House on Saturday.
Michigan celebrated homecoming with a 36-14 win over the Boilermakers in front of 112,115. But it didn't start well and the Wolverines had to make some adjustments to secure the win.
In recent years, Michigan has started fast but faded badly once the Big Ten conference season has rolled around. This year's team, under first-year head coach Brady Hoke is determined to end that trend.
On Saturday, Purdue took the opening kickoff and drove 67 yards in five plays to take a quick 7-0 lead when Boilermaker quarterback Kyle Terbush hit Gary Bush for a 48-yard score.
"We got the team (first-string defense) together on the sidelines and had a talk," Hoke said. "We didn't have to yell or scream at anybody, it wasn't like that. We just talked about being focused"
Purdue wouldn't score again until there were 15 seconds left to play. By that time, Michigan had scored 36 straight points and the first-string defense was resting on the sidelines.
Michigan's early struggles including consecutive interceptions on drives from quarterbacks Denard Robinson and Devin Gardner. So, Michigan went to the run and it paid off.
The Wolverines ran for339 yards, including a breakout performance from junior Fitzgerald Toussaint, who had a career-high 175 yards on a career-high 20 carries and a career-high two touchdowns.
His 59-yard scamper was a thing of beauty,t he most electrifying play of the game on a cutback.
"I just saw the daylight and ran," said Toussaint.
"What I liked about the run was more than just Fitz," said Hoke. "He made a great read but we had some great blocking on that play."
Robinson, usually Michigan's top rusher and among the nation's leaders, had only 76 yards and a touchdown.
"The offensive line was tremendous today," he said.
All season long, Michigan has looked for a running back to take charge, with the spotlight shifting to Michael Shaw and Vincent Smith. Now all eyes are on Toussaint, who has missed much time at Michigan because of injuries. He's completely healthy now.
"I still have a lot to prove," Toussaint said. "Whichever back plays best on Tuesday at practice will play the most on Saturday."
Hoke isn't ready to crown Toussaint yet.
"We'll see," Hoke said. "Fitz had a tremendous game today."
Michigan's defense held Purdue to just 117 yards rushing and one of the game's biggest plays was safety recorded by Mike Martin on Puirdue quarterback Tersush in the second quarter.
"That was a big momentum play," Hoke said.
Michigan, 7-1 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten Legends play, is tied for the division lead with Michigan State and Nebraska. The Wolverines play road games against Iowa and Illinois before returning to the Big House next month to play Nebraska and then the traditional closer against Ohio State.
"Every week is a championship game for us," said Hoke. "That's just how it is."
Purdue falls to 4-4, 2-2. The Boilermakers haven't won two games in a row all season.

Halaven approved for patients who have received at least two previous chemotherapies.[PinkShot-Fotolia.com]
FDA has approved Eisai's Halaven™ (eribulin mesylate) injection for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in patients who have previously received at least two chemotherapeutic regimens. Applications to the regulatory authorities in the EU, Japan, Switzerland, and Singapore have been submitted.
FDA clearance for Halaven was based on data from the pivotal Embrace study, which demonstrated that patients treated using the new drug survived a median of 2.5 months longer than those treated using single-agent therapy chosen by their physician. Median survival was 13.12 months among Halaven-treated patients, and 10.65 months among those receiving physician-selected therapy. Embrace included 762 patients who had previously been treated with an average of four chemotherapies.
The drug is not without side-effects, however. Over 25% of patients receiving the drug developed either neutropenia, anemia, asthenia/fatigue, alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, nausea, or constipation. Neutropenia with or without fever was the most common serious single side-effect, experienced by 6% of patients. About 10% of patients reported severe weakness or tiredness. Some 5% of patients had to stop treatment due to the development of peripheral neuropathy.
Halaven acts a nontaxane microtubule dynamics inhibitor. The drug is a synthetic analog of halichondrin B, originally isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai. Eisai has a number of trials ongoing to evaluate eribulin mesylate in a variety of tumor types including non-small-cell lung cancer, soft-tissue sarcoma, and prostate cancer.

(AP Photo/Eugene, Ore., Police)
The Register-Guard reports that police in East Peoria arrested 23-year-old Joshua Tel Warner Wednesday night on a traffic stop, while he was a passenger in a car. It was a routine stop, Sgt. Brian Despines said, and when the officer entered Warner's information into a computer, the Lane County arrest warrant appeared and he was taken into custody.
According to Oregon Live, Detective Jeff Donaca, who is investigating the case, said the suspect tripped up by slipping into the limelight on the popular show, aired on the Discovery Channel.
"What an incredibly stupid thing to do, to commit a bank robbery, then go on a national TV show and make a spectacle of yourself and then come home and commit two more bank robberies," Donaca said. "He should be on the 'Dumbest Criminal' show."
"He told somebody, 'Now that I've been on national TV, something from my past may come back to get me,'" Donaca said.
With that tip, the detective dug into unsolved bank robberies in Eugene and found video indicating the same man robbed Washington Mutual in 2007.
He was held on $30,000 bail in the Tazewell County Jail
The warrant charges him with one bank robbery in 2007 and two in 2009.

We have all seen it. A coach that really wants to win a game, tournament, or championship. These coaches throw out all the stops. They hit and run, squeeze, maybe even try and steal runs by executing the dreaded "rundown" play with runners on first and third. There is one thing they do they may be overlooked for this quest to win.
Overuse of their pitchers
It is quite common. The ace pitcher throws a complete game and two days later comes in relief to close the game out. Three days later he starts again. I am sure everyone can think of a time either through their youth or even watching their kids play where this scenario has happened. The kid pitches great, the team wins, and everyone is happy. Right?
Wrong..and wrong in a big way when it comes to the health of the athlete
You see it all over baseball with arm injuries to pitchers. The dreaded "Tommy John" surgery, where the ulnar collateral ligament (in between the two bones of the elbow) tears, and surgery is needed with at least a 12 month rehab time. The number one cause of this ligament tear? Overuse. It's a cumulative injury where the pitcher has thrown too much, or thrown with bad mechanics, or has thrown with too much stress on the elbow. Most of these injuries can be traced all the way back to when these athletes were young pitchers in high school, or even before that. Science says the more stress one may put on a certain part of the body, the more likely that part of the body will break down sooner. It's really common sense. So what can be done to help bring these rash of major injuries down?
Pitch Counts
Pitch counts can be seen all over baseball now-a-days. You see them as you watch a game, along with the count, outs, and runners on base. Little League baseball has instituted rules on the number of pitches one can throw, and the days rest associated with those pitches, all the way up to the Little League World Series. High schools, colleges, and even Major League Baseball teams have coaches charting pitches and keeping an eye on pitch counts, in theory, to protect the health of the pitcher. To combat the rash of arm injuries, the American Sports Medicine Institute released guidelines as to the amount of pitches, days rest, and types of pitches one should throw.
This seems to be universally accepted as the best way to keep pitchers healthy, and advance their careers without threat of injury. Dr. James Andrews, maybe the most famous orthopedic surgeon in the world, who has operated on hundreds of Major League pitchers, seems to agree. In a quote from an ESPN article, Andrews gives his opinion on pitch counts and the health of the player:
High school pitchers should not throw more than 90 pitches in a game and they should have to take at least five days rest before they pitch again anywhere. No way should they throw more than 100. The elbow isn't ready for that workload. I understand coaches are under a lot of pressure to win, but coaches need to know your No. 1 priority is the health and safety of your young pitchers and baseball players. Your job is to deliver them to the next level without injury.... Dr. James Andrews
So, you have the world's most famous orthopedic surgeon endorsing the idea of strict pitch counts. The problem is, Andrews states in the same ESPN article, is that the pitcher won't see the effects right away of overuse:
Pitching too much in one game, one week or one season is a very high risk factor. The problem is the injuries don't always show up when they pitch too many pitches at age 15. When you see a pitcher at age 22 start developing a problem, you go look at their history and most times you find out they threw too much as a teen.... Dr. James Andrews
So that settles it. A pitch count should be strictly enforced. Right?
Not so fast
In an interview with five anonymous Cleveland area high school coaches, three of them said they adhere to strict pitch counts, while two others use the "eye test" and "common sense" approach when evaluating when a pitcher should be taken out of the game:
You can usually see when a pitcher has had enough. It really differs as to whom you have pitching. If you have a kid who throws 80 pitches, and 40 of them are curveballs and sliders, you watch him more carefully, as opposed to a fastball-changeup type pitcher with good mechanics, you may let him go a little further into the game.... Cleveland area high school baseball coach
It's a trend that has followed in college baseball. The University of Arizona, the 2012 National Champions, have allowed their pitchers to go deep into games. In a quote to baseballnews.com, Wildcat pitching coach Shaun Cole explains his approach:
From a pitch count perspective, our magical number is 125 pitches. Once a pitcher hits that number, we really watch him carefully. We usually make a decision at that number, but we also watch pitchers throughout the game and monitor their velocity. If it drops or command starts being an issue, we might pull them.... Arizona Pitching Coach Shaun Cole
Cole went on to say that there are other factors that go into the decision on how many pitches one can throw:
If it is early in the season, why would any coach press a pitcher to go 125 or 130 pitches? But late in the year if a pitcher is conditioned well and his velocity hasn't dropped, you probably should consider letting that pitcher go a little longer depending on the game, but at the same time, nobody really knows what the exact number should be in a pitch count. From a coaching standpoint, you never want to hurt a young man's arm. Staying consistent with what works well helps tremendously. Knowing what a pitcher can handle is important as well....Arizona Pitching Coach Shaun Cole
Supporters of this common sense approach with bring up the fact that there are more injuries to pitchers NOW, after monitoring pitch counts than there were before. Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan once averaged 155 pitches per start in the 1970's, pitched for 24 years, and never had arm problems. Pitchers in the 1970's and even into the 1980's maintained a sense of pride in finishing what they started, pitch count be damned. Very rarely did anyone hear those pitchers having arm trouble.
No matter what side of the argument you may be on, there are some things that both sides agree on, as far as building arm strength, and maintaining the present and future health of the pitcher involved:
- Mechanics.... Learn to throw correctly, then how to pitch correctly. A pitcher with proper mechanics (i.e the "equal and opposite" way of pitching, the proper trunk and shoulder rotation based on the pitchers arm slot), will put less strain on the arm, and build proper endurance.
- Proper teaching of pitches.... Teach kids how to throw correctly, then how to throw a fastball correctly, then how to throw a change-up correctly. Why this order? Well, curveballs put a lot of stress on the arm, for one. Secondly, if a pitcher can command his fastball, then he will throw more strikes. If he throws more strikes, more balls will be put in play. The more balls are put in play, the chances of getting "quick outs" are increased, which lowers the pitchers total pitch count.
- Pitchers only "long toss" up to 120 feet.... It used to be widely accepted that playing long toss, even up to as long as 300 feet, strengthens the arm and leads to higher velocity. For pitchers, it may do more harm than good. Studies have shown that while it may strengthen one's arm, it messes with a pitcher's mechanics if throwing more than 120 feet. Why? Because as you increase your distance, the tendency is to throw and finish from your back foot and not your front foot, as most pitchers need to do to have proper mechanics.
- Off season rest.... 2-3 months of no throwing at all is suggested, and a four month time frame is recommended, to allow one's arm to rest
- No matter what the pitch count, loss of mechanics will lead to injuries.... If a pitcher loses velocity throughout the game, misses "high" with his pitches, the arm slot falls, and his elbow drops, it is a sign of mechanical breakdown and fatigue, and should be watched closely
- Any report of soreness.... Have the pitcher stop throwing immediately
Bottom line is, overuse leads to injuries. One can argue the pitch count argument, and one can argue using the common sense approach as to keep pitchers healthy. The answer to the question about high school baseball adopting pitch counts is a difficult one. It is a SUBJECTIVE answer, and not an OBJECTIVE one. If the two theories can mesh together, it would be a way to avoid injuries in the short and long term, and keep kids pitching without the fear of getting hurt.

The sunflower is a tall, leafy plant with bright yellow flowers that bloom in summer and autumn. In Central Texas, it is seen growing along the roadside or a field. A single plant can reach 10 feet in height, with a main stem of 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The flower-heads are 3 1/2 to 6 inches wide and often consist between 1,000 to 2,000 seeds, joined together by a receptacle base. The petals around the edge of the head are individual ray flowers that are usually 1 to 2 inches long and often overlap each other.
The common sunflower belongs to the Daisy family, Compositae (also known as Asteraceae) and is a hardy annual native to the Americas. It's botanical name, Helianthus annuus (annual), comes from the Greek words helios meaning sun and anthos meaning flower; since their heads will follow the sun, which is a misconception. Mature flower-heads typically face east and do not move; however, the leaves and buds of young sunflowers do exhibit "sun turning" from east to west during the course of a day.
Nearly 3,000 years ago, Native Americans domesticated the sunflower for food production and other uses. The seeds of wild species were only about 3/8 of an inch long. Over hundreds of years, and through careful selection for larger seeds, the Indians were able to cultivate the sunflowers that are grown commercially today for the making of soap, paint, cosmetics and, of course, food products.
Of the fifty species of native sunflowers found across North America, most of them grow east of the Rockies. In the journals of Lewis and Clark, the explores mentioned the Plains Indians' usage of the sunflower. Tribes would ground the seeds into a flour, and used the oil on their hair. They obtained a dull blue dye from the seeds and a yellow dye from the flower heads to use in traditional basketwork and weaving. The plant also played an important role in Indian burial ceremonies. Bowls filled with sunflower seeds were placed on the graves of their dead to nourish them on their long journey to the "Happy Hunting Ground." The Pimas and Maricopas Indian tribes made chewing gum and candles from the pitch of the stem. Fibers from the stem can be used to make paper.
In the 19th century, many believed that growing sunflowers near a house would protect the occupants from malaria. In the West, when Arbuckles' wasn't available, early pioneers made a coffee substitute from the roasted shells. Tea make from boiled leaves was used to reduce fever and to heal skin damage from screwworms. Rheumatism and snakebites were treated with a tea made from the roots.
Although sunflowers are actually from the Americas, not Greece, that didn't stop the storytellers of Greek mythology. Numerous tales can be found throughout the Internet for such entertainment. My favorite site is: www.angelfire.com

Branding is a vital element in developing successful businesses, products, and organizations. Two weeks ago, The Nashville Examiner published an article introducing a master of design and branding, Anthony Matula. We spent some time interviewing him and will share with you some of his thoughts about graphic design in this article and in another to follow. Our questions are in bold font.
What was your motivation for beginning your design company, ANTHONYMATULA?
I find it extremely inspiring to create something that gives other people joy or a feeling of excitement that not many other things out there can. From a professional perspective, there is a great need for individuals who can take that power of being creative and imaginative and use it in the business world. I also believe that everyone is born with God given talents and once we discover what these are, it is our responsibility to use them to enrich the world and people's lives. Having the ability to create and be creative is an honor and I am motivated everyday by the new exiting projects that are introduced every day.
What is the mission of AM?
Our mission is to Listen, Communicate, and Produce Results. To Inspire others and ourselves by the power of creativity and through personal experiences while turning a new artistic leaf with ever evolving ideas.
What do you think are some of the most difficult challenges of graphic designing?
Graphic design and design in general is such a difficult industry to be in because, at the end of the day, it is all up to the person viewing the work to decide whether or not they like it. Our job is to make sure that they like it enough to do what it is we are asking them to do – purchase a product, commit to using a certain business, buy a record, go see a show or just feel a sense of enjoyment or wonder about something. If we are designing a fabric softener bottle for example, the variables and elements need to be very different than if we are designing a wedding invitation. Our clients aren't trying to "sell" people or convince them to come to their weddings, though they do want them to potentially get an idea of what type of event it is going to be. At the heart of every graphic design project is a purpose or motivation. As designers, we begin every project with this specific purpose in mind.
Graphic design is an essential aspect of "branding" and branding is a vital element in the success of any new business. Through excellent branding and graphic design, companies communicate an important message to consumers, "We are professional and have invested enough time and concern into our brand to allow you to make a confident decision that we are the best company for your solution."
One of the challenges we face as designers is the fact that while one thing might appeal to one person, it very well might not appeal to someone else. Design in that sense is ultimately not created to please the company or individual who is paying for the design, but is more for the customers or clients who will be attracted by the company's design. There is a lot of communication that has to take place between us as the designers and our clients to ensure that the design decisions we are helping them make with their business isn't just the "coolest, or best looking" logo, colors, or style, but the most appropriate for their business as well.
Who are some of the people and organizations for whom you have developed graphic design projects and assisted with branding?
We have done graphic design and branding work for many individuals and companies. To name a few: Strategic Hospitality, Merchants Restaurant, Musician's Corner Nashville, LIZZY Couture, 1-800insurance.com, Diana's Sweet Shoppe, Dell Inc., Microsoft, Venus and Mars – The Showroom, Seemore Putters. To see a full client list visit www.anthonymatula.com
Where is your office located and how can people view your great graphic design portfolio and contact AM?
ANTHONYMATULA is located at 411 Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. You can view our work online at www.anthonymatula.com as well as connect with us through the contact page.

Power By Example
There are hundreds of stories of donors and students changing the lives of one another.
Click the links below to read just a few:
Making a difference....we call it Power by Example. The act of giving a financial gift to Texas A&M University-Kingsville can make dreams come true. But just as importantly, it creates a unique lifelong lesson for the students that are impacted. They learn the value of investing in the lives of others through the example that our donors provide. The impact goes well beyond lifting a financial burden.
Our students also reach out to our donors through our annual Donor-Scholar Dinner, thank you letters, personal visits to meet their donor and possible friendships. It is a unique relationship, the one that donor and scholar share. We hope you take the opportunity to learn more, and hopefully become a donor yourself.

Tracy McLaughlin, Special to the Toronto Sun
Almost three years after he was charged with assault and resisting arrest, Michael Ullman walked out of court Tuesday an exonerated man.
But the 64-year-old walked in pain, with a slight limp and with a beaten look on his face.
The head-to-toe injuries he sustained after an altercation with three police officers has left him in constant pain, with one hand partially deformed and a neck injury that has left a small shard of bone ready to sever his spinal cord at anytime.
"I have lost faith in the justice system," said Ullman, a retired engineer. "But I have not lost my honour."
Ullman's Toronto lawyer, Laurence Cohen, said he is almost sorry the Crown — citing a lack of evidence — dropped the charges against Ullman.
"I wanted my client to have his day in court," insisted Cohen. "I would have liked to have the opportunity to question the officers on the witness stand."
It was a warm, sunny afternoon July 6, 2009 when Ullman had a squabble with his sister who was visiting at his upscale home. He slapped the woman who called police to complain.
A short time later, Consts. Kevin Calleja, Nathan Bowman and Marco Coniglione of the Barrie Police Services knocked on his door.
Within minutes Ullman was being escorted out of his home, hunched over with his hands cuffed behind his back despite a shattered arm, his body covered in welts and bruises. His wrist and arm later required surgeries with metal plates and screws; a fused vertebra in his neck was broken.
The Province's Special Investigation Unit was called and investigators charged the three officers with assault causing bodily harm. The officers charged Ullman with assault and resisting arrest.
Two weeks ago Justice Michael Block found the officers not guilty, saying he did not believe Ullman's evidence.
During the trial, The Crown played a disturbing video that showed Ullman hobbling into the police station with a bruised face, yelping in pain with his hands cuffed behind his back despite his shattered arm.
Sitting in his home reflecting on the past three years, Ullman said he has many sleepless nights, not only because of his injuries, but from his feeling of being powerless.

What are you doing this weekend? Why not try something different? Start my taking a nice drive out to Pinckney and ending up at The Dio Dining and Entertainment for an immersive evening of dinner and musical theatre.
Earlier this month, the Livingston County professional theatre company opened its production of "Forever Plaid," the hit musical comedy that made its off-Broadway debut almost 25 years ago and is a perennial favorite with theatre companies and audiences alike.
The story features four "heavenly" clean-cut crooners whose boy-band, "The Plaids," was on the brink of making it big when they were involved in a fatal crash with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles' American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Yeah, it doesn't take itself too seriously. But now The Plaids are visiting from the afterlife for just one more shot at musical glory – singing and dancing just for you in a show they were literally dying to perform.
The Dio production of this close-harmony show features some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950s, performed with the tight harmonies smooth moves that were a hallmark of that era. "Forever Plaid" features New York's Steve DeBruyne as Frankie, the leader of The Plaids. Steve's credits include the national Broadway tour of "The Full Monty," as well as award nominated runs as Seymour in "Little Shop of Horrors" and Joe in "Damn Yankees." Steve will be joined by Thomas Mate as Smudge, Cody Musteffe as Sparky, and Jared Schneider as Jinx.
"Forever Plaid" runs through September 7 at The Dio, 177 E. Main St. in lovely little Pinckney. Performances take place on Friday and Saturday evenings, and Sunday afternoons. Arrive for evening performances between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. for dinner service. Arrive for matinee performances between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. for lunch service. There will be one weekday matinee on Thursday, September 4. Tickets are on sale at The Dio website or by calling the box office at (517) 672-6009. All tickets include dinner, dessert, a non-alcoholic beverage, taxes and the show – of course, you'll want to be sure and tip your server! Prices are as follows: Adults - $4; Seniors (60+) - $37; Student - $37; Child (13 and under) - $35; Group (20+) - $35. It's a great deal – and a fun night out.

$199 Australian Android phone out before Christmas
In the past few days, there were some articles on the Web saying that a small Australian company wants to make a Google Android phone and sell it across Australia.
Kogan is the company, and now it has officially announced that the Android phone will be released before Christmas, probably to the joy of many Australian mobile users.
The Kogan Android handset doesn't have a name yet and, apparently, it's not even built. However, the phone should resemble Apple's iPhone in design, coming with features like GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a touchscreen. Some sort of trackball is said to be included too.
Kogan, which also manufactures HD LCD TVs, Media players, GPS devices and so on, says their Android phone will only cost $199. It's very likely that the $199 represents Australian dollars, which means that, in fact, the mysterious Android handset will cost only about 138 US dollars.
Here's a mock-up of the Kogan Android device:
I guess there's nothing more to do now than to wait for the release of the promised handset.
Hopefully, for Australian Android fans, the Kogan phone will look better than the mock-up I made

Final Brackets KENT, Ohio - Seniors Nick Smith and Rob Jillard helped the Northern Illinois University wrestling team extend their postseason run Sunday in Kent, Ohio, as both clinched automatic berths to the NCAA tournament on the MAC Championships' final day. Smith and Jillard each took fourth place finishes at 133 and 149, respectively, while Shawn Scott (third - 197), Shaun'Qae McMurtry (fourth - 165) and Jared Torrence (fifth - 285) also found their way onto the podium. As a team, the Huskies took eighth place with 50 points, as Missouri sneaked past Northern Iowa to win its second consecutive conference crown. "Nick did a great job staying in position and wrestling where he is best," said NIU head coach Ryan Ludwig. "It paid off for him today with a bid to the NCAA Championships." Smith punched his first-career ticket to the NCAA tournament early in the day with a win over Missouri's Matt Manley. After building a 7-1 lead early in the second period, the NIU senior was able to flip Manley and pinned him to officially clinch the auto bid. With that berth in hand, Smith conceded the third-place match to Mack McGuire of Kent State. Meanwhile, Jillard took a less-conventional path to his NCAA berth - the second of his career and the first since 2011 when he was a freshman at Liberty University. After dropping a consolation semifinal match to KSU's Mike DePalma, 10-3, the senior bounced back with a 9-3 win over Central Michigan's Scott Mattingly in the fifth-place match. Jillard returned to the mat moments later to challenge Tywan Claxton of Ohio for fourth place, a match he would win via a 4-0 decision. "Rob wrestled and amazingly hard-fought match with both guys and came out victorious," Ludwig said. "He was as focused and determined as I've seen him." At 165, Shaun'Qae McMurtry's run for an automatic NCAA tournament spot fell just short. The redshirt freshman opened the day with an 8-4 win over KSU's Tyler Buckwalter to advance to the third-place match against Zach Toal of Missouri - the same individual whom McMurtry upset in yesterday's quarterfinals. Yet, it was the nationally-ranked Toal who flipped the script with a 6-3 decision against McMurtry. Shawn Scott also came within one match of clinching a national berth. After dispatching Northern Iowa's Jared Bartel in the consolation semifinals with a 3-2 overtime win, the redshirt freshman claimed third place with a close 3-2 triumph against Old Dominion's Kevin Beazley. In the true second match against Phil Wellington of Ohio, though, Scott came just short, dropping a 5-2 decision to give the MAC's second auto bid at 197 to Wellington. Heavyweight Jared Torrence ended the tournament in fifth place. Following a 4-2 defeat against UNI's Blaize Cabell, the redshirt senior capped the day with a convincing 5-1 win over Khodar Hoballah of Eastern Michigan. The Huskies' season concludes in two weeks when they head to Oklahoma City, Okla., for the 2014 NCAA Championships. The tournament starts Thursday, March 20, and runs through Saturday, March 22. 133: Nick Smith - Fourth Place (NCAA Qualifier)Nick Smith (NIU) pins Matt Manley (Missouri), 4:08Mack McGuire (Kent State) wins by forfeit over Nick Smith (NIU) 149: Rob Jillard - Fourth Place (NCAA Qualifier)Mike DePalma (Kent State) dec.
