Troy is a city in Michigan and a suburb of Detroit.
Troy was first settled in the early 19th century and was named after Troy, New York where the first settlers previously resided. The city was incorporated out of Troy Township into the City of Troy in 1955. Much of the development in the city occurred between the 1960's and 1990's. There are several large corporations headquartered in Troy including Delphi, ArvinMeritor, Flagstar Bancorp, Budd Company, and Kelly Services. It was formerly the world headquarters of Kmart before it was purchased by Sears Holdings and its large headquarters complex still stands at the northwest corner of Big Beaver & Coolidge.
In 2008, Troy was ranked 22nd on a list of "Best Places to Live" in the United States by CNN Money, using criteria including housing, quality of education, economic strength, and recreational opportunities. In 2008, Troy ranked as the fourth most affordable U.S. city with a median household income of US$90,000.

Our daughter gave us legal guardianship a year and a half ago and both my husband and I had to go before a judge to have the guardianship enforced. Our daughter did not appear. We have been told that she is going to get a lawyer to get her son back. She is married to a drug dealer and at times they have no utilities and she works part time and her husband deals his drugs. Our grandson is now 3 1/2. Is it true that the longer we have him the court might rule in our favor ? Will the courts look at the living conditions our daughter is in and the man she is married to in consideration when making their condition. We love our grandson and don't want to lose him but are scared to death they will make us give him back. When the judge was done with asking us questions his words were " He is yours until he turns 18" How true is this?

Thank you for your honesty, first. I did get the court documents out and it does use the term "custody" so not sure how the courts interpret that. I remember asking our attorney after we left the courtroom why the judge used "custody" when we understood that we were getting "legal guardianship". We were told by one attorney not to pursue custody because they are revamping the laws and leaning more in favor of biological parents and it may not go in our favor. We live in Illinois if that gives you any more help. Thanks again

"One of our goals was to come here and win this preseason tournament," said Emily Gore, head coach of Chiefland varsity volleyball.
They did. Chiefland played scrappy, resourceful ball, taking three games in the first round to put down a more talented Williston team, then finishing off host Bronson in two games in the championship round.
In the finishes of the four-team field, which saw Chiefland first, Bronson second, Williston third and Cedar Key fourth, every coach saw fine-tuning to be done, but also reasons to celebrate.

In the west end zone, the Williston players milled around, some sprawled on the ground using their equipment as headrests, watching the junior varsity. The coaches stood and watched as the JV won its quarter.
There was a feeling of satisfaction in the air that only comes after a good performance.
Law Enforcement may make a warrantless arrest if there is probable cause to believe that a felony has been committed and the individual is the perpetrator of the crime.
If the crime involved a misdemeanor, the Deputy may not ordinarily make a warrantless arrest unless the crime was committed in the Deputies presence.
However there are a few statutory exceptions to the above provisions concerning misdemeanors.
The Williston Police Dept. announces the following arrests:
* Herman Edwards, 21, of Southwest 8th Place, Williston, was charged with possession of marijuana less than 20 grams after police responded to a domestic disturbance at the apartment he was in.
* Julius G. Weston, 21, of Southwest 8th Place, Williston, was charged with assault, possession of marijuana less than 20 grams and possession of paraphernalia after police responded to a domestic disturbance at his apartment.
Next Thursday is Sept. 11.
You DO remember Sept. 11, don't you?
As of this writing (Tuesday morning) I have not heard of any memorial ceremonies, etc., around here to commemorate that date, to remember the thousands of people who lost their lives in the worst terrorist attack in the continental U.S. ever, except that the mayor wants to make sure everyone flies a flag on that date.
At least the mayor hasn't forgotten.

California to More Than Double Solar Power in '09
Posted on September 16, 2009
California is on track to more than double its power generated by solar panel installations in 2009, going against a downward global trend, according to research released on Wednesday.
Research house iSuppli Corp also expects the Golden State's hot-streak to continue in 2010, when California's photovoltaic installations, in terms of megawatts of power generated, would increase another 68 percent, while solar panel installations around the world grow 54 percent.
The solar power industry has suffered in the credit crisis, which has dried up available financing for new projects and a dramatic fall in solar panel prices has cut into companies' profits.
This year, iSuppli expects panel installations to jump 120 percent in California, compared with a 27 percent global decline.

NBA: Jones did foul Bryant in Hawks' win
Kobe Bryant says Dahntay Jones' dangerous defense left him with a sprained left ankle, and the NBA agreed.
Now, the Los Angeles Lakers are hoping the injury doesn't keep their star away from a playoff push for long.
Bryant spent Thursday getting several hours of treatment on what he called the worst sprained ankle of his 17 NBA seasons, hoping to be healthy for Friday's game at Indiana.
Although the Lakers offered no update on his condition after saying Bryant was out "indefinitely," the NBA acknowledged Jones should have been called for a foul on the play that left Bryant crumpled on the court in Atlanta.
The fifth-leading scorer in NBA history was hurt when he landed on Jones' foot with 4 seconds left after attempting a potential tying jumper in the Lakers' 96-92 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night.
Bryant rolled on the ground and eventually left the court in anger and pain, furious about Jones' questionable tactics in sliding underneath him while Bryant hung in the air.
Bryant tweeted about it Thursday, including a hashtag: "cleanupthegame."
The NBA later said video replay confirmed Bryant was fouled.
"After review at the league office, video replay confirmed that referees missed a foul call on Jones as he challenged Bryant's shot and did not give him the opportunity to land cleanly back on the floor," said the statement on the NBA's web site. "Bryant should have been granted two free throws."
Bryant tweeted that his ankle was "still very swollen. Treatment all day." The Lakers had the day off Thursday in Indianapolis, the final stop on their three-game road trip.
As some Lakers players meandered in and out of the team hotel, Bryant was not seen.
Bryant's shot would have tied the game if he made it, which means the no-call played a role in costing the Lakers a valuable victory in their playoff push. With 17 wins in 23 games before their loss to Atlanta, the Lakers (34-32) are a half-game ahead of Utah (33-32) for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The team and Bryant did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kym Hampton's singing performance at The Sugar Bar in New York City was a "down home kick your shoes off and testify blues revival." [www.kymhampton.com]
Ms. Hampton, "The WNBA Legend," television star on "Mom's Got Game"( OWN Network), and current New York Liberty Fan Development Leader, sang the "12 bar blues like she owed it."
Kym was dressed like Aphrodite (Greek goddess of love and beauty, that rises from the foam of the waves of the sea). She wore a tunic mini-dress in the 2014 Pantone color of the year Radiant orange that was "as hot as her performance."
Kym was accompanied by the excellent musicianship of "The Back Alley Players," and she sang two soulful duets with singer/hostess Damara Lynne Greene, and the legendary Billy Cliff. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbMcOCIcy7k] [www.facebook.com/damara.greene [http://ijamlab.com/]
Kym also spoke fluent Spanish to the audience which added to her "seductive musical performance."
Kym singing the blues is a show you can't afford to miss. Look for her return in April on a Tuesday evening. Call the Sugar Bar for details(http://www.sugarbarnyc.com/ )

Rumor: Last Express Movie
From Kotaku:
Maybe I should play it now. I bought it a few months ago, died after five minutes, then started playing something else. It seemed pretty good, though.
I can't find a reasonably priced copy anywhere. Want to play this so badly. It looks amazing.
I actually had to replace my copy last year. I was looking at disc 2 and noticed that half the disc was cracked. Fun.
Oh man...
Sigh. I wish I lived in a real country sometimes.
A Last Express movie has been planned by Mechner for a long time... he even wrote a screenplay for it, though it was a prequel (and so not set in 1914, which the game is).
I love the game more than life itself, so if this happens then it is good, but I want more than a movie, a special edition and even a sequel.
Alright...so say if I was to buy this game...is there any possible way that it would work on a Windows 7 PC?
^Yeah, that's usually the only breaking point for PC games for me anymore now that I have a good enough PC to run higher-end games...but now it's harder to play older games...*sigh* isn't there a happy medium?
There is an in progress engine for ScummVM for Last Express.
It's far from complete, but looks promising. The game runs fine in Win XP. I haven't tried Win 7 yet since I only recently installed it, but I might have time to give it a go tomorrow and report back to you guys. My guess is that it will work.
^Please let me know!
There are no problems at all running this game on Win 7, and I just remembered why:P
You can run it in DosBox. I'm playing it right now with a 3x advmame scaler.
Have phun.
Legit. Thanks!
A higher res version of TLE would be possible because the game was shrunk down to fit onto 3 CDs (and I suppose people's computer resolutions)... http://www.mobygames.com/images/cove...4826898-00.jpg shows higher res, as does http://jordanmechner.com/wp-content/...8/10/salon.jpg
The soundtrack was also compressed (I have the soundtrack CD and it's better quality, as you'd expect)
Can you post a screen shot of the game with the filter? I'd love to see what it looked like -- presumably it only works on the characters?
The filters affect the whole surface that is drawn to screen, however, these kinds of filters typically work best when colors are clearly separated and not blended. I'm not at home right now, but I'll put up a screenshot later tonight.
Contrary to what you believe, DosBox is not at all CPU intensive(unless you are running a CPU intensive application or game through it of course. Dosbox emulates the original DOS environment and runs the games you want through it. Since TLE is a 2D game, very much like the scumm games created at the same resolution(The Dig, Full Throttle, CMI) it should not be a problem at all to run it on lower speced devices. If your hardware can run Win 7, it can mostly definitly run TLE flawlessly. At least without resource intensive scalers.
Aha, well... my hardware struggles to run XP, let alone 7... though of course that means that I can run TLE natively.
Good tip about Dosbox, though; a friend of mine struggled to run TLE on his Vista machine so I will tell him to give DB a go.
And thanks in advance for the screenshot! The whole screen, you say? Amazing.
Well, I shouldn't think you would have much trouble running it through XP either.
Yes the whole screen, but like I said, the filters are only noticeable on surfaces with clean edges, so graphics such as rendered backgrounds are usually not affected much. As you suggested, most of the difference can be found in the sprites. It really varies from game to game. I found it helped improve GK2 a lot for instance.
I guess Magic Carpet is more difficult to run because it's a 3D game... and with water reflections, and deformable terrain, and all sorts.
I remember seeing a higher res version of Grim Fandango which only effected the characters (because the backgrounds are pre-rendered and so stuck to 640) -- the same for EMI (It was benny's quick and easy unless my mind betrays me). Slightly pointless but quite fun anyway!
Scaling games like Grim Fandango should be quite possible(and probably will be if Residual is ever finished), it's not much harder to scale a 640x480 flat image than a polygon model. The trouble in doing so is making screen coordinates match up with the game scripts I guess. Everything would be messed up if you were to simply scale up the whole thing, but I'm no expert. Hopefully one day it will be possible.
I think it's more likely that we'll see a GF:SE before that happens though;)

If you are in a relationship, you will most likely be spending the big day with each other at your own home or at a party. By big day, I of course mean Super Bowl Sunday. But if your man is like my man, we may as well be on planet Mars because his attention will of course be on the big screen. So what can we do to keep at least a little bit of his attention on us, the other saint in his life?
Well, we don't have to be raging Saints or Colts fans to still be an active participant in Super Bowl Sunday. Brushing up on some football facts and knowing the language of football will keep us involved in the game. Knowing a few things about key players will enable you to chime in with some information to contribute. Not only do you get to stay involved but your bond with your man will get a little bit stronger. He will definitely be impressed and maybe even a little turned on. You can even make bets and deals about the team you are both rooting for. Say for every touchdown, you guys make out. So it's not just the team that scores. Keeping yourself involved with the game keeps you involved with him during the game.

How to Write a Business Process Document
Two Methods:Writing a Process DocumentSample Business Process DocumentCommunity Q&A
The business process only works if everybody agrees on and understands how a process is supposed to run. A business process document acts as a guide that all employees and managers can reference to ensure that agreement and understanding. It can also serve as the baseline for training documents to prepare new workers for that process. Whether you're writing for your own organization, or preparing a business process document as a professional writer, the process remains the same.
Writing a Process Document
1Understand the scope of the document you will be writing. Will the document cover a single task in a chain of operations or the entire procedure for a manufacturing plant? For many assignments, you will be writing several individual process documents -- 1 for each of the processes in a complex operation.
- As a general rule, it's better to make each document cover as small a process as possible. This makes the process, and the list of people who must understand it, as clear as can be.
2Sketch notes on the key components of the process you will document. This will include a process flow diagram, an outline of the positions responsible for each task, and a description of what the process looks like when successfully completed.
3Write an introduction to the document explaining why the process is important to the overall operation of the company. If relevant, you can also include a specific statement of rewards and incentives for employees who perform the process well. This can also include a statement of what happens if this process is not completed, or completed poorly.
4Identify the individuals who will be involved in the process. Define each worker's individual role. It's better to identify job titles for this, rather than specific named individuals. That way the document remains relevant when an employee moves on from the company.
5Outline the technical tools for the process. This can include computers, software, technology, vehicles and even simple gear like a broom and dustpan. If appropriate, you can also include where that equipment is located or where to return it when the process is finished.
6Use your notes and outlines to write a step-by-step guide to how the process is completed. This is the meat of the business process document.
7Add a section for exceptions and emergencies: basic guidelines for how to complete the process when unexpected factors come into play.
8Edit and proofread the document carefully to ensure a professional and easy-to-understand final product.
Sample Business Process Document
Community Q&A
Why does this not include a process map?
How style is determined?
- In some cases, especially if compiling an employee manual, you may also want to format the business process document to make it more attractive and easy to read. A good employee manual reads like a textbook, complete with diagrams and illustrations, while a document for internal auditors needs only the simple text.

Black Clock Editor Steve Erickson's Just-Published Novel is "These Dreams of You" (Europa Editions)
"Truly electrifying. In its gorgeous, vivid prose and its acutely sensitive soul, These Dreams of You shows us just what a novel can still do in our own crazy times."
The Boston Globe
"Beautiful, elegiac…threads and characters serendipitously stumble through a missing-link chain of coincidences, with mazes and labyrinths both real and imagined…a complex and imaginative literary tapestry about family and identity."
Kirkus (starred review)
"Actions echo across time, continents and realities…a series of endless, astounding tessellations…."
The New York Times Book Review
"Erickson is superb at striking emotional notes, conjuring up historical figures, and ruminating on race and identity....These Dreams of You pushes against the idea of the novel as a stagnated medium by flexing its own vitality."
"Magnificent. These Dreams of You is a big novel of big ideas — emotionally capacious and desperately relevant. As readers rush headlong toward its climax, they may feel as if they have emerged from something like a fever dream, as torrents of ideas and images wash over them (read in as few sittings as possible for maximum effect)."

2011 Angelo's Criterium

Angelo's Criterium
Submitted by Andy Bohlmann (not verified) on
In 2010, both the ACA Angelo's Criterium in Pueblo and the USA Cycling sanctioned Aspen Criterium were held on the same day in April or May. I think both had a dismal turnout.
For 2011, Angelo's Criterium, according to the 11/17/10 ACA 2011 Tentaive Racing Calendar, was to be July 16. That date is now the ACA "Tour of Vail" organized by the Battenkill race organizer from NY. I believe it will be one of four races organized by that group in the US this year.
The Aspen Criterium is currently, already with a USAC race permit, May 22 with a $4,200 prize list for Pro, 1, 2's and a corresponding prize list for other classes/categories.
Other USA Cycling races (collegiate with some open classes/categories, are The Oredigger in Golden on March 26, Front Range Classic at the Air Force Academy on April 16/17 and of course, the Iron Horse over the Memorial Day weekend.
See http://www.usacycling.org/events/index.php?state=CO&race=Road for USAC's issued road race permits.
As USAC as all but abandoned Colorado on both the road and mtb sides and there is no more USAC CO Local Assoc., which was useless anyway, I have put together a CO Mtb Tentative Race Calendar and it is updated with input from CO race organizers. It is on one of my sites at www.sandcreeksports.com
Also, the August 19-21 Fort Collins Cycling Festival will be a UCI World Tour Qualifing Event for Masters/Amateurs.
I hope this helps as information is so hard to come by in CO.

Ring of cardboard (empty cereal boxes work wonderfully)
construction paper (blue and green)
small piece of wool
Trace a small plate and a large plate onto a piece of old cardboard.(see photo 2)
Empty cereal boxes or frozen dinner boxes work well as a source of recycled cardboard.
It doesn't matter if you go over the folds of the cardboard
Cut a small strip of cardboard and glue it onto the back of the ring over any folds in the cardboard.(see photo 3)
This will reinforce the ring.
Cut strips of construction paper (about 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches)(see photo 4)
Glue the strips into rolls (like making a paper chain)
Glue the rolls of construction paper onto the wreath. Alternate colors to make a pattern. This craft is good pattern practice for Kindergarten thru Grade 2 students
Use the template pieces for the earth.(see website)
Tape a small piece of wool to the earth and the wreath so it hangs in the middle.

Nicole Scherzinger Finally Talks About THOSE Chris Brown Pictures
Nicole Scherzinger has spoken for the first time about intimate pictures that were taken of her and Chris Brown in a nightclub.
The X Factor judge insists that the pictures are not what they seemed and that the pair were just talking. Pictures emerged of the showbiz pals talking into each other's ears ina noisy club earlier this month. Some even claimed that the photographs showed Nicole and Chris "kissing".
Nicole told The Sun: "You are always going to have people saying something or having a picture. But it is complete dross if you and your partner know what the truth is. Chris Brown and I are definitely just mates. I have known him since he was younger than 16.
"We were just talking. Even my mum said, 'I saw a picture of you'. It's the same when Lewis [Hamilton] had some random girls sitting in the lobby."
Back in July, Lewis was accused of taking a group of girls back to his hotel room while he was staying in London.
Nicole adds: "Can't girls just be sitting in the lobby? Maybe they were going to the same party.
"Every relationship has its things and you work it out. We made it last for four years so far, so it definitely makes things interesting and challenging."
You tell 'em, Nicole. RM

Hello Readers,
Nix Maytski, it is a good day to be on the Umatilla Indian Reservation!! Yesterday, we packed up our camp at the Lava Lakes camp site and performed a "Leave No Trace" sweep before we got on the road.
–Before I go on about our journey from camp, I would like to mention that the day before we left, I held a beadworked pouch making class at our campsite. I cut out the buckskin so everyone had the same size pouch to bead and gave a little intro into design and method. Of course, there was a little frustration and some broken needles, but in all the workshop ended with smiling faces and enough beads were given to all who did not finish their project yet. The student were creative in their designs, which went from a breast cancer ribbon to basketballs to an quote that read "I Love Food". All returned back to camp with smiling faces.
It was a long ride from Lava Lakes through Biggs Junction, OR, and down the Columbia Gorge, to finally arrive on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Surely a long ride but a beautiful one.
Our group arrived at the home of the Red Elk family and were greeted by Loveda, who is a gifted artist who works with glass. She shows us her display and invites us to create our own work of art using her glass mediums. We break into groups and she graciously coaches us on how to handle the material, cut the glass, form shapes and finally assemble the draft project. We are shown the firing kiln and those who finish first put their art in to be fired. I finish nearly last, and mine will be fired in the last set and I should get my glass plate in the mail maybe in a week or so (?)… The night is wrapped up as we cook our dinner over the fire in small foil packets. I dine on a packet of diced potatoes, celery, carrots, with canned sockeye on top. Delicious. I retire to my tent and the rest of the group are invited to sit by the fire and quietly reflect on the day and partake of s'mores.
Today, we will attend a presentation by the CTUIR DNR program abut how they decided to manage their resources-and hopefully a museum tour.
I am happy.
Hoping to post some pictures of the students as they participated in hikes, and of our hosts.
Until then,
Day 4
Today we woke bright and early we are n ow at the Deschutes National Forest, camping near a place called Lava Lakes. We arrived last night to find a great number of firefighters camped at the same place so we went farther back and set up camp. Today we went to a tributary of the Deschutes River and learned that the USFS is trying to regenerate quaking aspen and so we were thinning out the lodgepole pine and knapweed. It was really fun! We learned about the Pathways program and the different levels of internships available. We also went to the Tumalo Falls which had a spectacular view, and the visitors I met there were very interested in our journey, and wish us well. Overalll it was a very good day and I look forward to whatever comes tomorrow!!
I will post pictures when I get a chance, I have so many to share !!!
Day one-takeoff
Hello Friends,
We are getting ready for takeoff!! I have supplies ready and hopefully will have time during our trip to teach a few cultural arts workshops–including making parfleches (shaptakays), cordage and we will see what other natural resource products we will run into that will become relevant….
Until later,
Cialita Keys

- April 5th, 2012
- Steve Jobs, WoA Feature Articles
- Alex Brooks
In a most auspicious setting Walter Isaacson took to the floor last night to talk about his 2011 biography of Steve Jobs. Having visited Amsterdam and Oxford this week on a whistle stop tour promoting the book it was particularly notable that Isaacson's visit to London found him in a location that is special for all sorts of reasons but particularly in reference to science of which Isaacson's past biography subjects include Einstein and Franklin.
Taking place in the famed lecture theatre of The Royal Institution in Mayfair, Isaacson set off the session retelling much of what is present in the biography of Jobs that was released not long after his death in October 2011. Mercurial is a word that pops up a lot when trying to create a summary of Jobs but according to Isaacson Jobs was a fan of the word.
When telling about his first encounter with Steve Jobs in 1984 Isaacson explains that whilst at Time magazine Jobs had come in to demonstrate the Macintosh. Whilst Isaacson was the only one using a computer the rest of the magazine was still stuck with typewriters, according to Isaacson Jobs had him looking at the display of the Macintosh with an artist's loupe inspecting every pixel.
It was this encounter that Jobs spoke of wanting to get the Oxford English dictionary on the Macintosh and had looked up mercurial and seen it describe someone who is prone to "sudden or unpredictable changes of mood or mind", it was not this that attracted Jobs to the word but in fact the antonym which suggests "calm, tranquil and unchangeable".
During the same encounter Jobs demonstrated his mercurial spirit by suddenly becoming aggravated as to why Time magazine hadn't made him 'Man of the Year'.
Much of Isaacson's book of Jobs focuses on his love of simplicity and the same rang true during Isaacson's 30 minute opening piece in which he described Jobs as having a passion to drive people to do things that weren't previously thought possible and that Jobs recognised the importance of "connecting beauty to technology".
Amongst a number of anecdotes about Jobs' attention to detail Isaacson brings up the story of the iPod's on/off button, or lack of. Jobs according to Isaacson went into a meeting during the iPod's creation and asked the design "what the fuck is that?" pointing at the off button, after an uncomfortable silence someone answered saying that it was and on/off switch, Jobs retorted "what does it do?"
Much later on whilst Isaacson and Jobs were talking in the Apple founder's backyard the question of life and death came up. Jobs expressed much of his Buddhist beliefs that life is a spiritual journey and it's important to put something back into the flow of history. Jobs then said after a long pause that maybe it all ends just like an off switch, click and it's over. Then with a little expressed, maybe that's why I don't like putting them on Apple products.
Once Isaacson had spoke a bit about the the writing of the biography and restating many of the anecdotes inside he sat down with Roger Highfield for a quick interview and then questions were opened to the floor.
First up was Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales who asked Isaacson that if he could question Jobs on anything else now what would it be? Isaacson gave no specific example but mentioned that one subject he could not get Jobs to talk about was philanthropy despite Jobs' wife having setup College Track and serving as its president.
Much like as is outlined in Isaacson's book he states that Apple's focus is on digital photography, textbooks and the TV market. Expanding very little on what is already known Isaacson did say that Jobs would have wanted a very integrated system offering whatever you want when you want it.
On the same day that Isaacson spoke in London Google CEO Larry Page had an interview on Bloomberg's Businessweek and claimed that the differences over Android and iOS were "all for show". Isaacson disputes this referring back to when Mac OS and Windows were having a similar show down, Jobs believed that Gates and stolen a lot of Apple's hard work and had then begun licensing it to hardware manufacturers.
According to Isaacson Jobs saw what is happening with Android as a repetition of history, that Android stole much of Apple's hard work and is now licensing it how to "junky" hardware manufacturers.
Isaacson admits that Jobs was emotional about this, the success of Windows saw his time at Apple come to an end in the 80's and that his reactions will have be channeled through those emotions. Isaacson says that Tim Cook is less emotional and will deal with the lawsuits and Android differently.
I got the chance to ask Isaacson about those recordings he has of Jobs from their many interviews and whether any revisions are planned to the book. Isaacson told me that most of the interviews are actually in note form and releasing the few interview tapes would be difficult as they'd need some censoring.
More interesting though was Isaacson's take on any future revisions or additions to the book. At first the answer seemed to be a strong no, expanding upon it Isaacson suggested that the missing bits, or lack of colour in some areas, in the biography would most likely be filled in by biographies of other key figures at Apple. I'm skeptical of how many copies a biography of Jony Ive or Phil Schiller would sell.

FRESNO, Calif. -- The Fresno State women's golf team concluded its second tournament of the fall season on Sept. 20-21 in Albuquerque, N.M. to finish in a tie for 13th place.
In day two of the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational, the Bulldogs overcame strong winds that rolled over the UNM Championship course to make five birdies and one eagle over the final 18 holes of play.
On the tournament, the 'Dogs fired 60-over par, 936 (306-312-318) to tie with Mountain West competitor Nevada.
"It was a challenging day out on the course today with the winds kicking up," head coach Emily Milberger said. "We struggled some coming into the finishing holes."
On day two, Bulldog Alison Timlin recorded her best round of the tournament, 77 for a total score of 238 (80-81-77). Timlin made three birdies on the tournament and topped her round three performance with an eagle on the back nine.
"I am excited for senior Alison Timlin as she had a good finishing round today and is gaining some momentum in her game," Milberger said.
In the final round of the 54-hole tournament, day one leaders Madchen Ly and Hannah Sodersten slipped from their early top-20 finishes. On the tournament Ly carded 10-over par, 229 (72-77-80) to finish in a three-way tie for 37th place. Sodersten recorded 12-over par, 231 (76-73-82) to finish in a five-way tie for 42nd place.
"We have some work to do in the upcoming weeks before our next event and the ladies are excited to prepare to defend our 2012 title," Milberger said.
Between their return home from New Mexico and Oct. 12-13, the Bulldogs will prepare for the Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate in pursuit of defending their 2012 team title. In addition to winning the 2012 Cowgirl Desert Intercollegiate, the Bulldogs made a tournament record with a total score of 885 (291-289-305).

As Adam Sewer of WaPo writes, a new report by The Center for American Progress debunks anti-shari'ah rhetoric. Read the report here. And a clip:
But by defining Sharia itself as the problem, and then asserting the authenticity of only the most extreme interpretations of Sharia, the authors are effectively arguing that the internecine struggle within Islam should be ceded to extremists. They also cast suspi- cion upon all observant Muslims.
It's important to understand that adopting such a flawed analysis would direct limited resources away from actual threats to the United States and bolster an anti-Muslim nar- rative that Islamist extremist groups find useful in recruiting.

Spent some time over the weekend Facebook stalking someone we didn't even know. Low and behold, we stumbled upon a gem of an album entitled "High School was HIGH!" Excellent, a comedienne. Anywho, turns out one of her friends was unfit to wear makeup; she clearly had no idea what the hell she was doing with her face. All we know is that when Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara ($30) claims that there will be no clumping or "spiking" of the eyelashes, they must have been trolling this girl's Facebook profile too.

Going out to dinner can be a jovial occasion. Sometimes the best part of the meal is conversation around the table. With Olive Garden's smaller plates everyone can enjoy a variety of food and animated conversation around the table.
Olive Garden offers a variety of small plates that work well for sharing. Theses menu options offer the ability to try a wide array of flavors without over indulging.
- Polenta Shrimp alla Greca ("Small Plates") – Sautéed shrimp served on creamy polenta and topped with a fresh blend of olives, capers and tomato sauce.
- Risotto Bites ("Small Plates") – Bite-sized blend of Italian cheeses and rice, lightly fried and served in marinara sauce.
- Parmesan Olive Fritta ("Small Plates") – Blend of olives and Italian cheeses rolled together and served with a choice of citrus aïoli or gorgonzola cream dipping sauce.
- Spicy Calabrian Wings (appetizer) – Chicken wings tossed with garlic and chili peppers from the Italian region of Calabria, served with gorgonzola dipping sauce. Increase the heat by adding our signature Calabrian chili paste. Available for a limited time.
- Roasted Tomato Caprese Salad Topper – Fresh mozzarella bites, roasted tomato, bell pepper, basil, kale and an extra-virgin olive oil drizzle.
While all these dishes are delicious, a personal favorite is the Polenta Shrimp. The polenta is creamy and the perfect backdrop to the briny shrimp. The serving size is enough to share with a friend or used as a small entree. The combination of polenta and shrimp is quite filling.
A second favorite is the Parmesan Olive Fritta. Fans of olives will embrace this salty, tangy olive dish. The citrus aioli is a wonderful bright pairing to the tangy olives.

Sony and Naughty Dog revealed new details about the first story DLC for the Playstation 3 exclusive, The Last of Us. Left Behind will provide a familiar experience to those that have played the game but will bring some new additions as well not only with the characters but the combat as well. Hints were also dropped about the expected playtime and release date as well.
This time around, Ellie is joined by Riley, a slightly older teenage girl that has survived and lives in the quarantine zone with Ellie. Players will get a chance to see a little more like what it is like at the boarding school that Ellie mentioned in the main campaign and how she and Riley ended up leaving.
Unlike the main campaign though, Ellie will be the only playable character in Left Behind. That suggests a markedly different experience as she's not yet the girl who slowly earns Joel's trust to wield a weapon and later becomes self-sufficient. In a follow-up comment on the PS Blog, Naughty Dog's Eric Monacelli said that the combat in the DLC "will be familiar some new touches and nuance to it."
Monacelli wouldn't give an estimate for how long it will take to play through Left Behind only to say that it "varies from player to player but it's a good chunk of time."
A release date for Left Behind has been released not been released beyond "early 2014" but Naughty Dog has confirmed that it will be $14.99 or free with The Last of Us Season Pass. Monacelli said that the official release date will be coming soon.

College Hockey:Bemidji Dominates UConn In Rout
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Bemidji State posted its highest-scoring effort in nearly four years, blasting the Connecticut Huskies 9-0 in nonconference action Friday at John Glas Fieldhouse.
Bemidji dominated in all phases of the game, outshooting Connecticut 49-13 including advantages of 16-3 in the first period and 14-3 in the second. BSU scored three goals in the first, four in the second and added two in the third.
Andrew Murray led the BSU attack with two goals and an assist, his second two-goal game of the year and fourth of his career. He led all players at plus-4 for the game. Jeff McGill scored two goals and an assist; Marty Goulet tied his career high with three assists, and Clay Simmons had a goal and an assist.
In total, seven different Beaver players scored goals and 14 different players scored at least one of BSUs 24 points on the night.
Bemidji State goaltender Grady Hunt stopped all 21 Connecticut shots on net to earn his first career shutout. It was the first shutout pitched by the Beavers since a 3-0 win over Army on Oct. 16, 1999 — a span of 72 games.
"This was a great effort, 60 minutes of great hockey," BSU head coach Tom Serratore said. "The team executed in all areas. After the Minnesota losses this last weekend, the team bounced back well and came back with a win."
Connecticut starting goalie Jason Carey allowed seven goals before being pulled at the 13:31 mark of the second period. Carey stopped 24 shots while seeing his season record fall to 0-1-1. Paul Morrissey played 26:29 in relief, allowing two goals and saving 21 shots.
"We played as a team," Murray said. "We didn't know too much about Connecticut, but we stuck to our game plan and picked up a win. Grady Hunt played well and helped keep the momentum going for the team. Hopefully we can keep it going tomorrow night."
The nine goals scored by BSU were the most for the team since a 9-4 win over Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Jan. 9, 1998, and the most scored by the Beavers since joining the Division I ranks for the 1999-2000 season.
Bemidji State improved to 2-3-0 overall with the win, while Connecticut fell to 0-2-1. The teams wrap up their two-game series Saturday evening; opening faceoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

Craft Appliances was started in 1979 by Bill & Sue Craft. In the early 80's, they moved to their current location at the corner of Perry and Main in Downtown Attica, IN.
Since relocating, our business has grown considerably. We now sell and service virtually every major home appliance, including washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, microwaves, stoves, water heaters, water softeners, sweepers, air conditioners, TVs, and much more. We also have branched out into the cell phone service and offer AT&T home and cellular phone services, internet, and DirecTV.
We pride ourselves in being able to offer our customers a wide variety of options at more than reasonable prices with the guarantee of our trusted repair services for the future (just in case!).
Along with our business growing, our staff has grown as well!
Our employees include:
Bill & Sue Craft Owner/Operators
Brian Craft: Appliance Sales and Repair
Lisa Craft Jordan: AT&T Manager
Miranda Mathews: AT&T Customer Service
It is a true small town, family run business. Over the years, we have collected many valuable repeat customers; we take a lot of pride in that. It is not uncommon for customers to just call and ask us to deliver an appliance sight unseen, just from the trust we have developed with that person.
Like a lot of "Local Businesses," we feel strongly about giving back to the community we serve. Keeping business local keeps tax money and jobs local. We support the local schools, athletic programs, other local businesses, Attica/Williamsport Rotary, and the Scout Troops.
We have recently been very involved in the Downtown Attica Revitalization, a project that has brought a little more pride to downtown merchants and some new activity and business to the area.

Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction—more affectionately known as qPCR—has become a staple in many molecular biology labs. For researchers who use qPCR, an equally important acronym is MIQE, which stands for the Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments. MIQE guidelines are in place to ensure the accuracy, interpretability, and reproducibility of published qPCR experiments. So, are your experiments in compliance? You can easily monitor your experiments using the MIQE qPCR app. This app allows one to create projects and update checklists corresponding to MIQE guidelines. Project information can also be exported. In addition, the app contains references to current literature regarding MIQE, experimental design, sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction, protocols, and other pertinent qPCR topics. Thus, this app both allows researchers to monitor their experiments and to keep up-to-date on the latest qPCR news.

Whether you're selling a new car or a meal, you'll get the "just looking" response from shoppers. They usually are more interested than they let on, but when they say "just looking" they hope you'll go away or that they won't have to interact with you. They're not so much browsing the department as breezing through it. This IDDBA research study looked at why people buy but, more importantly, looked at "why they don't buy." What were the barriers to purchase and what could we do to change their mind? In short, how could we convert "lookers" to "buyers?"
The majority of shoppers pass through the deli and bakery because they're curious. We discovered that most of these shoppers didn't make the decision to stroll through the department until AFTER they entered the store. Their reasons for adding a "look-see" to their route included checking to see if anything was new, eye-catching displays, themed merchandising, creative signs with highly-readable fonts, and visual appeal for the whole department (including cleanliness, lighting, and ambiance). Seeing the department through the customer's eyes gives you a better understanding of how to target their needs, tastes, and interests. The study highlights tactics and strategies to convert bystanders to purchase participants. Your customers are looking for a reason to buy, so give them one – or ten!

STANFORD, Calif. - The No. 13 Stanford softball team snapped a three-game skid, Wednesday, with a 9-2 win over visiting Santa Clara at Smith Family Stadium. The Cardinal improves to 26-6 overall, while the Broncos drop to 5-25.
Freshman pitcher Nyree White earned the start in the circle, her ninth of the year. She threw 3.1 innings, tallying three strikeouts and allowing two runs on five hits. Junior Teagan Gerhart entered the game in relief in the fourth and picked up the win, moving to 21-3 overall. She finished with four strikeouts and allowed just one hit and no walks. Briana Rios took the loss for the Broncos, falling to 2-7.
Stanford took a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the second. The Cardinal loaded the bases where senior catcher Maya Burns drew a walk to score designated player Jenna Rich. Freshman Leah White was then hit by a pitch, scoring senior Jenna Becerra, and senior Ashley Hansen drew a walk to score sophomore Corey Hanewich.
The Broncos answered in the top of the third, cutting the lead to 3-2. Shortstop Alyssa Jepsen hit an RBI double to the left centerfield wall. Catcher Breezy Bernard then hit a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Jepsen.
With one out in the bottom of the third, Becerra doubled to right field. She then advanced to third and came home as Santa Clara pitcher Jaymi Bautista-Geiger was called for two illegal pitches.
Santa Clara loaded the bases in the top of the fourth, forcing head coach John Rittman to make a pitching change. Gerhart entered the inning with one out and struck out the next two batters to keep the Cardinal lead at 5-3.
Stanford increased its lead to 9-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning. Hansen led off the inning with a single to left centerfield. She advanced to third as Rich singled to right field, moving to second on the throw. After Becerra drew a walk, rookie Cassandra Roulund hit a doubled to left centerfield, scoring Hansen and Rich. Becerra then scored on a wild pitch before Burns brought Roulund home with a double to center field.
The Cardinal continues Pac-12 play on the road at Arizona this weekend, March 30 - Apr. 1. The teams will play a three-game series at Hillenbrand Stadium.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
According to reports on Thursday, the SPL club are holding out for an improved offer for their star defender.
Liverpool will have to pay £5 million if they want to sign Rangers' young defender Danny Wilson. According to reports in the Daily Record on Thursday, the English Premier League side have been told they will not be able to sign the player for a fee below the Ibrox club's valuation.
It is said by the newspaper that Liverpool were prepared to pay £3 million for the Scottish player's services, having had a £2 million offer rejected earlier in May.
Rangers reportedly won't accept any less than £5 million for their prized asset, who could leave for next to nothing in the summer of 2011 if no club matches his value this summer.
Wilson turned down a contract offer to stay in Glasgow as the season drew to a close. His current deal with the club is due to expire in the summer of 2011, meaning Rangers would receive only a nominal amount of training compensation in a year's time.
It had been reported by some earlier in the week a hitch regarding the English top flight's new limitations on squad sizes may have led to the Wilson deal collapsing altogether. However, STV Sport's understanding is the ruling will have no impact on any possible transfer.
Introduced from next season, all clubs in the English Premier League have agreed to limit their player pools to 25, with eight of the players having to be classed as 'homegrown'. To qualify for that status, a player has to have spent a minimum of three years at any English or Welsh club while under the age of 21.
With Wilson still 18, Liverpool would be able to buy the central defender and, in three years time, have him as one of their 'homegrown' players. But in the meantime, he would still be able to play for the club without affecting their quota, despite reports he would be would be classed as one of his prospective team's foreign players.
The rules of the new system stipulate that all players under the age of 21 are not included in the 25-man limit. Therefore, Liverpool can still sign and play Wilson without losing a spot for one of their clutch of overseas stars.
Even more crucially, having then spent three years on Merseyside, he would then be deemed as a 'homegrown' player for the club upon his 21st birthday.

In previous article, the statistics on available spaces for animals taken in by the Garland Animal Shelter was 102. Only 102 spaces available for the annual intake of approximately 12,000 animals. Approximately 65% are euthanized due to overcrowding.
The volunteers at Garland Pawsibilities oversee and coordinate a monthly adoption event for additional exposure for the animals at the City of Garland Animal Shelter. There were 26 dogs that were brought to the adoption event at Firewheel Town Center on Saturday, May 15. Sadly, there were 6 dogs left behind without yet finding their forever home.
Garland Pawsibilities report an urgent need for the remaining 6 dogs. Their futures are dim. The Garland Animal Shelter is filled to maximum capacity, with these 6 additional (adoptable) dogs that will be in line to be euthanized within days.
Your actions could save a life and bring a new Best Friend into your life and into your heart. Garland Pawsibilities are working diligently against the clock in hopes that these dogs are not euthanized without giving them a chance to find a forever home.

He has no known health issues and is heartworm negative. "Barton really captured my heart. I wish I could add another dog to my home (but hubby won't let me!). If it helps, I will be happy to make a donation personally to any Rescue Organization that take Barton in (my contact Debbie Stout firstname.lastname@example.com
"Lola" #136653 (intake date 5-3-2010) is a female Red WhippetX, 1-2 years old at 15 lbs. No known health issues, heartworm negative.

Keeping With Holiday Tradition While Working on Thanksgiving Day
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on November 22, 2012 @ 6:41PM
Created on November 22, 2012 @ 6:11PM
We hope that you had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with loved ones, whether they be family or friends. For some, even though it's a holiday, that's not an option on Thanksgiving. We have soldiers overseas, then many public safety and health workers were on the clock just in case anything went wrong.
In the health field, holidays don't exist. Everyone working these types of jobs knows that when they get in the business but the men and women still choose to do it to help people. Harrison County EMS had a few calls Thursday morning and the members even spent some time training for upcoming tests; but in between, they tried to make it as holiday-like as possible. The crew was working together to make a Thanksgiving dinner, full with a turkey, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. Some even brought homemade deserts for everyone.
"We still cook here, we still try to make everything, as we can. We watch football, we play football. We train. We do anything that we can that keeps us busy but in the same sense has us ready to go at a moment's notice to come out there and save somebody's life if needed to be," said Harrison County EMS Asst. Chief of Operations Steve McIntire.
Even if you try to make things as normal as possible, you can't guarantee that will happen. For instance, the second the turkey was out of the oven, EMS got two calls.

Valerie Bertinelli is responding after critics are pointing out that the former Jenny Craig spokeswoman has put on a few pounds. "The paparazzi can't wait to get a picture of me looking like I gained a few pounds," said Bertinelli during Wednesday's "The Talk." And, according to an April 3 Extra report, she is not the only woman that has to face criticism about her weight.
"We all need to give each other a break -- especially women. Let's leave each other alone."
What makes Bertinelli's response to her critics about her weight gain newsworthy is her healthy attitude towards gaining weight and how she deals with it.
In December, Valerie Anne Bertinelli, who became famous as an American actress for her roles as Barbara Cooper Royer on the sitcom "One Day at a Time," as Gloria on the drama series "Touched by an Angel," and then as Melanie Moretti on the sitcom "Hot in Cleveland," broke her foot.
Doctors told her not to exercise and to watch her heart rate. Of course, not being able to do her regular exercise, the actress started to gain weight, and before she knew it, it took an emotional toll on her until she went through the three major steps of personal growth -- Awareness, Acceptance, and Action. (Triple A Survival Guide for Emotions)
"It started to panic me. And then I thought, well, wait a minute. This is my body. I'm almost 54. I broke my foot. I started thinking, 'Why do I feel so much shame?' We need to take the shame out of it."
Valerie Bertinelli does not only take action by responding publicly to her critics about her weight gain, which is reportedly between 25 to 40 pounds, but she is also back in the gym – not for her critics but for herself. While exercise does make her feel good, so does eating, and as reported by EXTRA, Bertinelli is finding a healthy balance and not limiting her diet too much. "I still like to eat -- and I'm going to eat!"

Thanks to us all living in a global village, there are now numerous ways to enjoy the hundreds (no, thousands!) of TV shows and movies that our first world cousins have been streaming to their laptops, phones, tablets and TVs for years already.
Services like Hulu Plus and Netflix are the two largest distributors of (legally available) live streaming TV shows and movies, allowing users to watch an unlimited number of shows as many times as they like for under $10 per month. Understandably, this has rapidly become a more popular way of consuming video entertainment than regular TV, for two reasons: (1) the programming is not scheduled in a linear way, meaning that you decide what you want to watch and when you want to watch it, rather than relying on an old-fashioned TV guide to let you know when you need to watch your favourite show; and (2) it's much cheaper than traditional cable and satellite TV offerings.
So how are South Africans accessing these services? It really comes down to two things: hardware and software/setup.
While many SA users are happy to access the services directly from their laptops or iPads, others find it a whole lot easier to have a dedicated live streaming TV box that you can keep plugged into your TV via an HDMI cable, and connected to your home WiFi network wirelessly. The options when it comes to choosing a live streaming box manufacturer are broad and include Boxee, Roku, Apple TV and Western Digital's TV Live Streaming Media Player. While some of the first three are imported by companies in SA or available on sites like ebay or Gumtree, only the WD TV Live product is widely stocked by Incredible Connection and Kalahari. Check prices before buying though, as Kalahari is currently selling the box for R600 less than Incredible! Kalahari also sells the Apple TV 3rd generation, if you're absolutely set on having an Apple product.
Software and Setup
1. To be able to connect to services like Netflix and Hulu Plus, users sign up for an account at international DNS services like UnoTelly. This provides a dedicated IP address (with a local server in South Africa) that users enter into their hardware to be able to watch international TV services from anywhere in the world.
2. Users then sign up for Netflix and Hulu Plus accounts. Both services offer free trial periods, but need credit card details entered upfront. The Netflix sign up process allows any credit card, including South African cards, but the Hulu Plus account requires a US credit card or US Paypal account.
To do this from South Africa, many users make use of Entropay to create a virtual credit card, and then sign up for a new Paypal account with a US address, which they link to their new Entropay virtual card. They then use this new Paypal account to sign up to Hulu Plus.
Some users who prefer not to use their own credit cards, or go through this process, make use of Netflix and Hulu gift cards (as well as Spotify and Amazon cards) through Jerry Cards, a service that allows them to choose one month or twelve month cards that are paid for separately outside of Netflix or Hulu.
3. The last part is entering the DNS and account details into the TV streaming box, which effectively gives a user access to the full library available at Netflix, Hulu Plus and even BBC's iPlayer (using UnoTelly's UnoDNS Dynamo service, which is a little slower as this requires using their Dynamo servers in Ireland or Australia – but can be switched back to the SA DNS address for non-UK Netflix/Hulu content at any time).
One thing you should know though is that Hulu Plus's wide TV library comes at an extra price: TV ads during episodes that can't be skipped. Why would they do this if you're paying for the service you ask? Here's what Hulu has to say about it:
We include advertisements in Hulu Plus in order to reduce the monthly subscription price of the service. Premium content — especially from the current TV season — is not only expensive to make and license, but we also want to compensate our content partners fairly for the valuable entertainment they provide.
Hulu Plus offers what no other streaming content service on the market today can: current season episodes of popular shows like Glee, The Office, and Modern Family, and full series runs (all episodes from every season) of popular library shows.
We have found that by including a modest ad load, we can keep the price for Hulu Plus under eight bucks, while still providing users with access to the most popular current season shows on the devices of their choice.
Netflix, on the other hand, doesn't include TV commercials at all – but you don't have the extensive range of current TV shows that Hulu Plus offers. Typically users turn to Netflix for movies and Hulu Plus for TV shows.
At a combined price of under $20 per month (around R150-R160 a month), it's an attractive and affordable way of enjoying TV in the 21st century.
