RELATED: Lessons can be learned from Warren crash that killed 6 teens
By Susan Tebben
Canfield High School students were weaving down busy streets Wednesday, speeding through red lights and crashing into vehicles they never saw coming — while the Mahoning County sheriff, Canfield police chief, attorneys and judges watched.
The students were taking part in a texting and driving simulator that is part of a tour by the "It Can Wait" campaign, in partnership with AT&T.
"As an attorney who represents crash victims and having a daughter your age, I know how important this is," said Atty. David Betras, of the law firm Betras, Kopp & Harshman, LLC. It helped host the event at the school.
The event coincided with implementation of Ohio's ban on texting being effective on March 1. For juveniles, being caught texting results in a six month license revocation for the first offense and two points put on the license. For adults, the charge is a misdemeanor offense.
"We will be looking at those tickets very carefully and enforcing the law," said juvenile court Judge Theresa Dellick.
The simulator creates an eight-block course for drivers, with different hazards such as traffic cones, oncoming traffic and unexpected events on the road. A built-in touch-screen phone sends automated texts for the driver to answer.
For the students, the simulator was appealing as a way for them to get perspective, even if the program wasn't exactly like being on the road.
"It felt like it was a little unrealistic, because it kind of forces you into situations," said senior Andrew Russo. "But kids our age think we're invincible, so it's a good reminder of what could happen."
No matter the results on the monitors after students drive, the program makes its difference through the promises the teens make to stay safe on the roads.
"We measure the success of the program with the amount of pledges [to not text and drive] that we get," said "It Can Wait" tour manager Griffin Hagler.
Last year, the program received about 1 million pledges from events such as the one in Canfield, along with online pledging at tcanwait.com.
The event did not just focus on teenagers but also sent a message for parents to be good examples and not text themselves. According to a survey conducted by AT&T, 77 percent of teens have seen their parents text and drive.
"Most of the kids know it's dangerous to text and drive, but this hits home for them," said Stephen M. Kristan, director of external affairs for AT&T Ohio. "And it's not just word [texting] anymore, it's videos and pictures too now."
With the trend toward larger and larger data plans among AT&T customers, the company saw the need to educate drivers on safe practices, Kristan said.
Mahoning County Commissioners Anthony Traficanti and David Ditzler were also on hand at the school to make a proclamation that this week is anti-texting week in the county.
I think this effort will help these young drivers (and hopefully the adults as well) get the message. It has to start with the end user, the driver...deciding not to partake in distracted driving and this will help drive that message home.
I also decided to do something about distracted driving after my three year old daughter was nearly run down right in front of me by a texting driver. Instead of a shackle that locks down phones and alienates the user (especially teens) I built a tool for teens and their parents called OTTER that is a simple, GPS based, texting auto reply app for smartphones. It also silences call ringtones while driving unless you have a bluetooth enabled. I think if we can empower the individual then change will come to our highways now and not just our laws.

CLEVELAND — The key to winning in the AFC North is to have a tough, punishing defense. Sunday the Cleveland Browns unlocked the combination to a defensive onslaught, forcing eight turnovers in a 20-14 win over Pittsburgh.
The eight turnovers were the most by a Browns team since 1989 when they also recorded eight takeaways in a 51-0 thumping of the Steelers at Three Rivers Stadium and the most by any NFL team since the 2001 season.
"That's what defense is about. If you create turnovers you're going to win football games," defensive linemen Billy Winn said. "Turnovers are a big part of the success of any football team."
All four of the Steelers running backs turned the ball over once as the team fumbled the ball eight times, losing five.
Defensive linemen Phil Taylor, who missed the first eight games of the season with a torn left pectoral muscle, recovered a Chris Rainey fumble in the fourth quarter that helped to seal the win. He also had the lone sack of Pittsburgh quarterback Charlie Batch.
"Everyone was out there trying to make plays. We know how they run, they keep the ball out so we were trying to strip the ball," Taylor said. "We try to strip the ball every week, but this week I guess it just came out more."
The Steelers turned the ball over on three of their first six possessions, and then with Cleveland clinging to a narrow lead in the fourth quarter the Browns defense came up with four more turnovers in the final 12 minutes of the game.
After the Browns lost a 13 point halftime lead last week at Dallas, the defense felt the pressure to close out strong Sunday in front 69,661 cheering fans at Browns Stadium.
"We are ball-hungry right now. We know we have to get the ball to give our offense opportunities. We just have a lot of guys hungry to get the rock," said Browns safety T.J. Ward, who became the first Cleveland defender since Chris Crocker in 2005 to force two fumbles in a game. "We never going to give in that's just the type of we are. We're always battling to the end, until the clock says zero. That's what we're going to do all season regardless of our record, regardless of the score."
Ward, Winn and veteran cornerback Sheldon Brown each had an interception of a Batch pass.
Batch, Pittsburgh's third string quarterback was forced into action this week after the Steelers lost Ben Rothlisberger and Byron Leftwich to injuries. The 37-year-old Batch was making just his second start since the 2010 season.
"I have a lot of respect for Charlie (Batch). He's been in this league a while and he's seen everything we did out there. I think we were just the better team today," Brown said.
Cleveland has now forced 25 turnovers this year in 11 games, seven more than in all of the 2011 season and after sacking Dallas quarterback Tony Romo seven times last week the Browns are beginning earn a reputation for physical, hard-nosed play.
"I feel if you're not a physical defense, if you're not more physical that the offense it's going to be difficult to win. I know a bunch of guys on this team as well, as defensive coordinator Dick Jauron, we all pride ourselves on being more physical that whoever we play and it showed today," Ward said.
Cleveland's defense did more than just force turnovers. It held the Steelers to 1-of-9 on third down conversions and held Pittsburgh to 49 yards rushing, its lowest output in nine seasons.
Winn, who was selected by the Browns in the sixth-round of the 2012 out of Boise State, recognizes that the true test of a top-notch defense is to be able to perform at the same high level week after week.
"We have to take what we did in this game and apply it to next week. We have another opponent and another chance to get a W," Winn said. "We just have to go out every week and be physical,"

Senior Scholars Council issues statement
March 7, 2011
The Council of Senior Scholars issued a statement in Riyadh on Saturday in which it called for national solidarity to protect the country against regional turmoil. Maintaining the unity of the group is one of the greatest pillars of Islam, it emphasized. Throughout its progress and advancement, the Kingdom has managed to preserve its Islamic identity, the Council said, adding that the Kingdom will never allow any incoming ideology, neither from the West nor from the East, to distort its identity or to wreak havoc on the community. The statement warned against deviant intellectual and partisan links and "anything that may cause sedition." Reform must come through the proper channels, said the Council, not by issuing threats and inciting strife. Therefore, the scholars emphasized the national prohibition against demonstrations and the duty of the authorities to punish violators.
The Majlis Al-Shura (consultative council) endorsed the Senior Scholars Council's statement during its meeting today. The Speaker of the Majlis, Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al-Asheikh, noted that the Kingdom has a unique open-door approach in which Saudis may write directly to the leadership or any official in order to achieve a demand or eliminate a grievance. The Majlis stressed the importance of preserving security in the Kingdom and ignoring misleading calls for the organization of demonstrations, sit-ins and marches, which are incompatible with the principles of Islamic law, by which the Saudi leadership and people have always been governed.

Aug. 12, 2010
DeKALB, Ill. - On what may have been the hottest day of the year, or at least the hottest day third-year Northern Illinois football head coach Jerry Kill has witnessed in DeKalb, the Huskies held their first scrimmage of preseason camp.
"Oh yeah, there is no question," said Kill about it being the warmest day he's experienced in DeKalb. "There is not a comparison. None. Zero."
Balmy conditions aside, the Huskies were still able to get plenty of work done as Kill was able to assess the roster up and down.
"Our total focus today was to evaluate people and not so much scheme," said Kill. "There were some good things that happened offensively, and then the defense rallied up and did some good things. And after that it went back and forth, and each team had their moments."
Among playmakers during the early offensive dominance were three quarterbacks, each of whom led their respective groups to paydirt on three consecutive chances. Junior DeMarcus Grady (Grand Rapids, Mich./East Grand Rapids) captained a 65-yard scoring drive by going 4-for-5 with 40 passing yards as senior tailback Chad Spann (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) scored from five yards out to cap it. Freshman Jordan Lynch (Chicago, Ill./Mt. Carmel) ended another 65-yard scoring drive with a 17-yard strike to senior tailback Ricky Crider (Evansville, Ind./Reitz). Senior Chandler Harnish (Bluffton, Ind./Norwell) needed only one play, which resulted in a 35-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Nate Palmer (Elkhart, Ind./Central).
"We've got some good things going on in [the quarterback] area right now," said Kill.
However, the defense did not take long to respond to the early success of the offense. On the second play of the next drive, freshman defensive back Dominique Ware (Bolingbrook, Ill./Plainfield North) jumped in front of a pass from junior Casey Weston (Prattville, Ala./Prattville/NW Mississippi JC) and took the interception the other way for a touchdown.
The stellar play from the two seniors, and the upperclassmen in general, opened the door for the younger players on the team to really get some repetitions in, which is all part of Kill's plan of developing a promising youthful roster.
"Defensively, we have a tremendous amount of speed and athleticism," said Kill. "[The younger guys] have to get consistent in knowing what to do. We [worked] them pretty well today because that's who needs it."
Speed and athleticism were also on display on the offensive side of the ball. It wasn't just the quarterbacks that had a solid scrimmage. Junior tailback Cameron Bell had a bruising 34-yard run, while fellow newcomer junior Jasmin Hopkins (Stanley, N.C./East Gaston/Fort Scott CC) put together a tough ten-yard run for a score on a fourth-down-and-one situation, carrying two defenders into the end zone. The highlight of the day, and longest play, belonged to freshman Akeem Daniels (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola), who made a leaping catch over a defender to complete a 61-yard touchdown pass from the arm of Grady.
While the big plays were encouraging and nice to see, Kill was more satisfied with the amount of repetitions that everyone got while defeating the heat at the same time, which allowed him to get a good judgment of the areas to work on.
"The big thing is that, if you count special teams, we ran somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 to 130 plays in a very hot temperature," said Kill. "I think the kids handled it well, and we got everything that we needed to look at done today."
The Huskies return to the practice field Friday for their second two-a-day practice, starting the first session at 8:50 a.m. (Central) and the second at 4:55 p.m. Northern Illinois opens the 2010 campaign on Thursday, Sept. 2 with a 7 p.m. contest at Iowa State. The game will be broadcast by Fox Sports Net, and can be seen in the Chicagoland area on Comcast SportsNet Chicago.
NIU opens its five-game home schedule on Saturday, Sept. 11 versus North Dakota at Huskie Stadium with kickoff set for 6 p.m.
Individual game tickets for the North Dakota game as well as home contests versus MAC foes Temple (Oct. 9), Central Michigan (Oct. 23) and Toledo (Nov. 9) are $20 each for the general public, while tickets for the Oct. 16 Homecoming game versus Buffalo are $25. Senior citizens (62 and older), youth (8th grade and under) and student guest tickets for Homecoming are $20 each and are priced at $15 each for the remaining five home contests.
Season tickets for Northern Illinois' 2010 home games are one of the region's best values at just $85 for all five games. NIU faculty and staff, Varsity Club (former letterwinners), NIU Alumni Association members and senior citizens can purchase season tickets for only $74. The three-game mini-plan allows fans to choose any three 2010 games, including Homecoming, and get the same reserved seat for all three games for just $50.
Tickets can be ordered online at www.NIUHuskies.com (click the "Tickets" link on the top of the page), on the phone at 815-752-6800 or in person at the NIU Convocation Center Ticket Office in DeKalb.

The Top 18 opened the show to "How It's Done" by District 78 in a chess-themed dance. The choreography had a lot to look at with elements from Hip Hop and a sort of Renaissance ball. The costumes looked like they were taken from a Tim Burton film.
Guest judge Misty Copeland from American Ballet Theatre was back again for another round. As mentioned last week, it is worth tuning in for her constructive criticism alone. (Thank you, SYTYCD!)
Unfortunately, it was a matter of some unpleasant business before the couples were to perform. The six dancers in jeopardy this week were Bridget, Emilio, Emily, Stanley, Jourdan and Teddy.
Choreography team Keone and Mari Madrid popped into the studio to give Jacque and Zach a Hip Hop routine. They danced to "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith. The style of this dance was almost Lyrical with a lot more expressivity and technical elements than the usual Hip Hop choreography on the show. Jacque and Zach were quite good and did not give any indication that this was not their most comfortable dance technique. It was revealed in the pair's introduction that Jacque has a crush on Rudy but we discover later that the feeling is mutual. Too cute!
Jourdan and Marquet worked with Dee Caspary on a Contemporary piece to "Disappear" by Mikky Ekko. Jourdan and her gorgeous feet stole the show from Marcquet. Marcquet is a fair partner but it was obvious that Contemporary is not quite a comfortable technique for him yet.
Tyce DiOrio returned to give Jessica and Stanley a magic carpet themed Jazz dance to "Funkier Than a Mosquito's Tweeter" by Nina Simone. (What in the world is a "Mosquito's Tweeter?") This was a very rhythmic performance with a lot of lifts and synchronized movement that required perfect timing. Technically pleasing, the dance was well done by both dancers and with turns on a carpet no less!
SYTYCD alumni Anya and Pasha created a Jive for Bridget and Emilio to Pharrell Williams' "Happy." To see these two in jeopardy this week was a little confusing. Bridget and Emilio were a little rough on each other in rehearsal but the performance itself was very "happy." It was difficult not to smile while watching this one. Both dancers were light on their feet and a complex series of lifts proved Emilio's mettle as a partner. They interacted with each other very well and Emilio's small Hip Hop sequence was well-placed.
Another track from Nina Simone ("Ne Me Quitte Pas") was featured in Tyce DiOrio's Contemporary piece for Emily and Teddy. Teddy and Emily are obviously very talented with a great series of lifts and brilliant sharing of weight while remaining grounded. It was very easy to forget that Teddy was a Hip Hop dancer. However, there was a slight impression that these two were dancing together but never really connected as a pair.
Emmy nominated choreographer Bonnie Story worked with Brooklyn and Casey in the studio. Their Jazz dance was set to "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Michael Buble. The performance was upbeat with a lot of tricks and a particularly adept series of turns from Casey. In fact, one tended to watch Casey the entire time. Brooklyn had a few moments where she was in over her natural depth but was an appealing stage presence and very brave in the lifts.
Lacey Schwimmer-another SYTYCD family member-returned to give Valerie and Ricky a Viennese Waltz to "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. First, it's worth mentioning that Valerie's "princess dress" was a great costume for this performance. The waltz itself was joyful and light. Ricky in particular was very agile. Valerie and Ricky seemed to be enjoying themselves and the connection they shared seemed to be a secret amusement. Brilliant!
Luther Brown gave the Hip Hop treatment to Carly and Serge. They took to the stage in skeleton costumes with "Senile" by Young Money. The choreography was a wonderful treat for Carly who appeared more cat-like than skeleton-like on the stage. Serge faded into the background a bit because of Carly's prowess but was no less talented.
Tanisha and Rudy closed the show with a wonderful Warren Carlysle Broadway number. If you missed tonight's show, this is the performance to watch. Tanisha and Rudy danced to "Sing Sing Sing" from Fosse with amazing energy and zeal while using canes as props. Rudy was truly in his element and Tanisha matched him step for step. Their footwork was impeccable and these two really knew how to dominate the stage.
Just before the final eliminations were announced the band A Great Big World performed their single "Say Something." It was a year ago that the song premiered on the SYTYD stage and caused the band's career to take off.
At the end of the evening the judges decided to bow to the viewers' votes with their elimination. Jourdan and Stanley were sent home and graciously agreed that they would have both done it all over again.
Albuquerque viewers can catch So You Think You Can Dance Wednesdays at 7 p.m. (MST) on Fox Channel 2. Everyone can vote for their favorite dancers (including favorite dance crew) via the show website or the smartphone app through Thursday at 10 a.m. (PDT). Each voter gets 20 votes to divvy as they see fit.

What is a parking pay station?
A pay station is an automated kiosk that accepts coins bills, credit cards, debit cards and ParkNow cards.
How do you properly display a receipt?
The pay station will print a receipt that should be placed on the dashboard of your vehicle with the expiration time visible.
What happens if the pay station doesn't work?
If you are having problems with a parking pay station, please call the City of St. Augustine's Parking Division at 904.825.1034, Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5p.m.
If a situation occurs when an individual unit goes completely down, a report is immediately sent to city staff (via computer) notifying them of a problem. In the meantime, customers can still park in a space near a pay station as long as they purchase a receipt from another nearby pay station.
Can you receive a parking ticket while you are paying at a pay station?
There is no need to worry about being at a pay station and receiving a parking ticket since stations are within a reasonable, visible distance. The Parking Enforcement Officers check to see if anyone is using a nearby pay station.
How will businesses be affected by the new pay stations?
The new parking pay stations will encourage more parking turnover, which will make it easier for customers to access local businesses.
What is a ParkNow card?
This is a card offered for discounted parking of $ .50 an hour instead of the $1.50 an hour rate. These cards are available for purchase in the City's parking division at the Financial Services Center, 50 Bridge Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084.
Is there an initial charge for the ParkNow card?
Yes, the initial charge for a card is $2.50, which is a one-time charge for each card purchased. Once you have used all the time on the card, you may purchase more time on the same card at the City's Financial Services Center.
What are the hours of enforcement?
Our Parking Enforcement Officers begin at 8:00 am and work until 5:00 pm, Monday through Saturday, excluding federal holidays.
How can a citation be paid?
Payment can be made by mail, in person and over the phone by credit card at 904.825.1034. If mailing in the payment, please send check or money order made payable to the "City of St. Augustine" for the correct amount, with the citation number. (DO NOT ENCLOSE CASH) If paying in person, City's Financial Services Center is located at 50 Bridge Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084.
How will I know how to use the new machines?
Each machine provides user-friendly instructions.
When using a pay station, what happens if I purchase one hour of parking and then realize I need two hours? Can I buy another hour and display both tickets on my dashboard?
No. Each ticket will display the purchase and expiration times. Parking enforcement will be based on the expiration time on the ticket. Since both tickets would have been purchased at essentially the same time, both will expire at the same time.
How do I contest a parking ticket?
In the event you receive a parking citation and would like to contest it, please call the City's Financial Services Center at 904.825.1034, Monday-Friday 7:30 am-5:00 pm. Or appear in person at 50 Bridge Street during the same business hours. This must be done within 15 days of receiving the citation. No appeals will be processed after the 15th day. Please note we are closed for the major holidays.

Lauren Bacall, who starred in Hollywood films including The Big Sleep and How To Marry A Millionaire, dies at her New York home.
12:45, UK, Wednesday 13 August 2014
The Hollywood actress Lauren Bacall has died at the age of 89 after suffering a stroke at her New York home.
The actress' death was confirmed by the estate of her first husband Humphrey Bogart, which announced the death on Twitter.
"With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall," the Bogart estate said.
Born Betty Joan Perske, Bacall made her Hollywood debut in the 1944 film To Have And Have Not.
She famously met Bogart on set, and the couple were married until his death from throat cancer in 1957. They had two children.
Their relationship became one of Hollywood's greatest love stories.
"I knew he was a good actor, but he was not my type, I didn't think," Bacall later reflected.
"She's a real Joe. You'll fall in love with her like everybody else," Bogart once said of his wife.
Beginning her career in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Bacall enjoyed a long and successful life on screen and on Broadway.
Her debut film launched what became one of Hollywood's signature styles.
"I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie," Bacall wrote in her autobiography. "That was the beginning of The Look."
She starred in many films with the leading actors of her time, including Bogart, John Wayne, Gregory Peck and Marilyn Monroe.
Her career on stage was also hailed by critics. She won two Tony Awards for her roles in Applause in 1970 and Woman Of The Year in 1981.
Bacall had a third child with her second husband, Jason Robards, during their eight-year marriage in the 1960s.
She narrowly missed out on winning an Oscar for her performance in 1996's The Mirror Has Two Faces with Barbra Streisand who called her an "original".
In 2009, she was presented with an honorary Academy Award.
Bacall also wrote an unflinching autobiography titled Be Myself which won the National Book Award in 1990.
She once said her "great luck in life was being surrounded by people who had goals".
Mia Farrow, who was married to Frank Sinatra after Bacall's brief engagement to him paid tribute to the star: "Now we've lost the great Lauren Bacall. RIP dear Betty."

By Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar
Adjutant General of Wisconsin
On March 6, the U.S. Air Force publicly released their recommendation for substantive changes in USAF force structure and personnel to Congress. The recommendations were driven by budget constraints and changes in our national security strategy. What follows is an update to my original message from March 7.
Here is what I know.
The U.S. Air Force plan remains unchanged. If Congress accepts the budget submission, we would lose two KC-135 Stratotankers from the 128th Air Refueling Wing in Milwaukee and our RC-26 from the 115th Fighter Wing in Madison, and we would see our authorized end strength reduced by 5 percent or 114 positions. The Combat Readiness Training Center at Volk Field is hit particularly hard with the loss of 18 full-time AGR positions. The National Guard Bureau has forwarded our manning documents for Fiscal Year 2013, which is when most of these changes are due to take effect. All of the positions affected by this change occur no later than April 1, 2013.
At this point, Congress continues to question the USAF on its assumptions and analysis. This information comes from the National Guard Bureau and the USAF.
Here is how I am responding.
I have worked with your commanders and, as a team, we have taken steps to mitigate the impacts of this decision, if implemented. I initially placed a freeze on recruiting until the dust settled and we could analyze the impact on unit manning documents. I have authorized selected hiring/recruiting when the action would have no bearing on personnel potentially affected by this budget action, and have delegated this authority to Brig. Gen. John McCoy in coordination with your commanders.
I've been assured by my command team that all personnel potentially affected have been contacted personally. If you haven't been contacted, you can rest assured that these changes, if implemented, won't affect you; however, one note of caution — because these changes aren't approved, it is possible that future decisions by the USAF or Congress could change the impact on Wisconsin. If that happens, I will ensure you are aware and we will take the same measured steps to mitigate any impact.
We will continue a selective freeze on recruiting to assist personnel in positions slated for elimination. We will use multiple tools — selective retention, cross training, and planned retirements to meet projected reductions. We will continue to do everything within our power to assist Airmen affected. We will continue to work with the National Guard Bureau and analyze these changes. NGB has provided us the documents promised and continues to work with us to mitigate the impact on you and your families.
Here is what I need you to do.
Keep doing what you have been doing – remaining focused on the mission and continuing to do your job safely. We continue to act prudently and are working hard to ensure you have the best information available — worry will not improve this situation. You are members of the Wisconsin National Guard — each of you is valued and appreciated. If this change is enacted, we will manage it together.
I trust you and you can trust me and your commanders. I renew my pledge to you and your families to do everything in my power to mitigate the impacts of this decision. Our core values remain: integrity, selfless service, excellence, diversity and resilience and our core values will guide us through this challenge. I am proud of this organization and I am proud to serve with you

College Hockey:Dartmouth, Cornell Split ECAC Vote
ALBANY, N.Y. — Dartmouth, with three players on the all-ECAC media preseason team, was tabbed to come in first place by the media in the league's preseason poll, announced at its Media Day on Tuesday.
Cornell, a second-place finisher last season and Frozen Four team in 2003, was tabbed for first place in the coaches poll. Dartmouth and Colgate followed.
Dartmouth forward Lee Stempniak and defenseman Grant Lewis were named to the media and coaches preseason teams. Hugh Jessiman was also on the media team.
"We appreciate that people are recognizing our team and the hard work our players have put in," Dartmouth coach Bob Gaudet said. "It's nice to see that our team is well thought of, but it won't mean anything until we can get on the ice and prove things to ourselves and others."
Cornell led the coaches poll with 108 points and received four first-place votes. Colgate and Dartmouth tied for second place with 102 points and two first-place votes each, while Harvard was picked fourth with 98 points and matched the Big Red with four No. 1 votes. Clarkson and Rensselaer round out the top half of the poll in fifth (82 pts.) and sixth (68) place, respectively.
On the media side, the Big Green was the top choice taking 13 first-place votes and 304 points. Cornell earned the No. 2 spot by the media with 285 points and 11 first-place nods. Colgate, with three first-place votes and 269 points and Harvard with 247 points were tabbed third and fourth, respectively. The media selected Clarkson and Rensselaer in the same way as the coaches, ranking the schools fifth and sixth.
Dartmouth (14-11-9, 10-5-7 ECAC in 2003-04) has been in title contention for the past few years but is still looking to bring championship hardware home to Hanover. The team has one of the league's top players in Stempniak, a senior who is a returning first-team all-league and all-America pick.
With the selection of first place, the Big Green has garnered its highest prediction ever.
Cornell, which returns most of its roster intact, will also contend to be in the national picture again. Juniors Matt Moulson and Shane Hynes lead the offense. Both Dartmouth and Cornell have strong recruiting classes as well.
Clarkson and Harvard played for the ECAC tournament championship last year. The long-time ECAC powers are in the process of moving back up the ranks, as the Golden Knights took a big leap forward last year. Harvard made the NCAAs for the third straight season last year, but will be under a new coach in Ted Donato. The former NHL player and Harvard star has never coached at any level.

Just this morning, April 30, 2014, while everyone was busy searching for the latest news and updates in the Vhong Navrro-Cedric Lee case, some netizens were talking about the Kat Alano rape case. Three months ago, Kat came out and showed her support to Deniece Cornejo, who was then telling everyone that she was raped by actor-TV host Vhong Navarro in her condominium unit, but after a series of conversation with the netizens, Kat decided to calm down.
That was three months ago, today, things have changed because she is now telling everyone that she is also a rape victim. For whatever reasons, Kat is still refusing to reveal the identity of the public figure who allegedly raped her nine years ago.
The netizens are encouraging her to give the detailed information of the rapist, according to them, she should give the name of the public figure to the authorities and file a rape complaint against him if she's a victim of rape. The micro-blogging site Twitter is now flooding with tweets regarding Kat's allegation, many of them are showing their support to the actress-model.
DJ Mo Twister, one of the best DJ's in the Philippines, who is now based in New York, tweeted Kat Alano yesterday telling her that he had three callers during that day that went through what Kat also went through. "We had at least 3 callers today that either went through what you went through or had a message of support for you," DJ Mo tweeted.
Obviously, DJ Mo was talking about Kat's rape issue, but the netizens were surprised when they saw a hashtag on his tweet that almost revealed the identity of the public figure who raped Kat Alano nine years ago. He used the hashtag #RhymesWithWrong below his tweet.
For some observers, DJ Mo was obviously exposing the name of the alleged rapist. Based on their analysis, the DJ was talking about the actor-TV host Vhong Navarro who is now battling against several personalities involved in an incident that happened in a condominium unit three month ago.

Genetically modified foods are inventions of biotechnology. Genetic Engineering is the method used to amend the genetic material, by transferring specific genes from one organism to another. Selective breeding is the technique used to transfer genes. Certain crops have the capacity to develop immunity to viruses and insects. Soybean, potato, maize, canola oilseed, tomato, squash and chicory are some of the genetically modified plants that endure herbicides.
Genetically modified foods, also known as GM foods, have been in the news a lot, especially in the last few years, mainly because of the several health organizations and institutions that have been staging protests again the production of such food items. However, several people still end up asking "What are GM foods and why are they harmful?" Before getting into the disadvantages or even the advantages of GM foods, it is important to understand what exactly GM foods are.
Genetically modified food can be described as food which is derived from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO). Like the name suggests, a GMO is an organism that has had specific changes introduced to its DNA using genetic engineering techniques. The techniques that are use for genetic modification are a lot more accurate than mutation breeding or mutagenesis, in which an organism is exposed to chemicals or radiation to evoke a stable change, which may be non-specific. Some of the genetic engineering techniques commonly used by humans to modify food organisms are selective breeding (for breeding of plants as well as animals) and somaclonal variation. The first time that genetically modified crops and foods were introduced into the market, was in the early 1990s. The genetic modified foods list mainly includes transgenic plant based products such as corn, soybean, cotton seed oil and canola oil. Up till a few months ago, certain animal products were also on the market, but are no longer available. Health experts strongly criticize and object to the creation of genetically modified foods, on many grounds, touting health and safety concerns as the main one.
There are certain human health risks that have been associated with genetically modified food and the most important one is related to allergens. There are thousands of people in Europe and America who have developed a serious, life-threatening allergy to peanuts and certain other food items. If a certain gene is introduced to a plant, it may give rise to a new allergen, which could bring out an allergic reaction in unsuspecting individuals. Since GM foods need to be tested for a while, some of the consumers may be exposed to severe food allergies. However, this problem can be reduced to some extent by labeling the GM food carefully. Another cause for concern though, is the introduction of a foreign gene in plant based foods, which could have an adverse effect on human health. Lab studies of genetically modified food tested on animals indicate that there is a considerable difference between animals that were fed a certain genetically modified vegetable, as compared to those that were fed non-genetically modified foods.
However, genetically modified foods are not all bad; there are certain benefits of genetically modified foods too, which is probably why this industry is expected to double in the next few decades. First of all meeting the food supply for the current booming population can be a challenge for any government, but fortunately, it is possible for genetically modified foods to meet this requirement in several ways. Some of the other advantages of genetically modified foods are:
• Disease resistance: There are several plant diseases that are caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. However, through genetic modification, plant biologists can create plants that have been engineered to resist such diseases. • Higher tolerance towards the cold: Every year, thousands of sensitive seedlings are destroyed due to unexpected frost. However, in some plants, such as potatoes and tobacco, an anti-freeze gene has been introduced (from cold water fish). Because of this change, these plants can now withstand cooler temperatures including the ones that would normally have killed unmodified seedlings. • Nutrition: The majority of the population in several developing countries relies on a main crop, which is generally the main staple of their diet, for example rice. However, on its own, rice probably cannot provide a sufficient amount of nutrients that may be required to prevent malnutrition. However, if rice were genetically modified to provide all the required vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, then the nutritional deficiencies suffered by a majority of the population can be prevented.• Resistance to pest: Every year, a staggering amount of crops are lost because of insects and other such pests. This could cause farmers to use higher doses of pesticides, to avoid facing extensive losses. These foods could then lead to several health hazards in the consumers. Hence, the production of genetically modified food can help reduce or even eliminate the use of chemical pesticides. This will also reduce the costs of making the food available in the markets. • Phytoremediation: There are certain genetically modified crops, which are not grown for consumption purposes. Since groundwater and soil pollution continue to be a growing concern all over the world, there are certain plants that have been modified genetically, with the main intention of cleaning up the heavy metal pollution, from the soil that may have been contaminated.
Hence, while genetically modified foods could be helpful in solving several problems, especially world hunger and malnutrition, there are several challenges that the government may face, especially when it comes to testing such foods, for safety and proper labeling purposes. However, it is absolutely essential to proceed with care and caution in order to avoid any harm to human health as well as the environment. Unfortunately, there is not much information available on Genetically Modified foods, as well as the drawbacks and benefits of GM foods due to several reasons. This could be because it is more difficult to analyze the safety of crop derived foods, as compared to drugs, individual chemicals and food additives. Food crops are far more complex in composition and nature. Their composition varies a great deal, based on the differences in their agronomic conditions and growth. Moreover, the overall tendency of health experts is to compare the compositions of genetically modified foods and non-genetically modified foods. Since their compositions are not very different from each other, genetically modified foods are regarded as being as safe as their counterparts.

A man who was wanted as a suspect for allegedly peeping into women?s bathroom stalls in Abilene was arrested Monday morning.
Det. Eric Vickers said that 40-year-old Jeremy Jacques, a Hispanic male born on 10/11/71, was arrested in Sweetwater by the Abilene City Marshal?s Office for an outstanding warrant related to an incident that occurred in Abilene.
According to a statement from Abilene's Police Department, Jacques was "seen spying on women while they were in women's bathroom."
Police say one of the alleged incidents occurred at Abuelo's and the other across the parking lot at Hobby Lobby, meanwhile they're also investigating a possible third event at a location they have yet to disclose.
Jacques was charged with one count of a class C misdemeanor disorderly conduct, but the investigation is still active, Vickers said.
In spite of the nature of his alleged crimes, by law, he only faces low level charges.
Jacques has since posted bail on a $375 bond.

On May 20-21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh literally flew into history when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, thus becoming the first pilot to fly solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. This flight made Lindbergh a household name and catapulted him into fame and celebrity. The objects of popular culture in the National Collection display everything from ashtrays to wristwatches reflect the public adulation for Lindbergh and the powerful commercial response to his celebrity. More than 75 years after the Spirit's historic flight, Lindbergh's name still has the power help sell manufactured goods.
Gift of the Stanley King Family.
Physical Description:

Sports counseling has proven to be a valuable resource for the student-athletes during the last eight years. Karen Nelson, the director of student services, helps athletes work through personal problems and situations that may affect their performance in the classroom and on the field.
An important part of the counseling is working with first-year athletes, taking advantage of the critical skills-building period to help student-athletes reach their potential physically, mentally and emotionally.
Meetings with new players are held individually or in groups. Individual meetings allow for a more comfortable discussion of specific difficulties. Group sessions are used to teach relaxation and visualization skills and confidence-building techniques.
Studies have shown 70-90 percent of an athlete's success can be attributed to the mental part of the game after the physical skills have been mastered.
Counseling teaches student-athletes to cope with stress of competition, overcome setbacks and mistakes, develop confidence, achieve and maintain peak performance levels, set goals, deal with injury and develop winning mental skills.

Dark Horse Brewing to release IPA variety pack
Crooked Tree (IPA, 6% ABV) is the flagship IPA from Dark Horse Brewing, however, they brew many great IPAs that never make it out of the brewpub. But, look forward to April 20 when they will release of a variety pack (12 12 oz. bottles) which will include Crooked Tree in addition to three other single hopped IPAs. These will be brewed using the same recipe, but different hops. Crooked Tree is brewed using Cascade, Columbus and Centennial hops. Last time I was at the brewery, I ducked in to say "hey" to Bryan Wiggs (head brewer), and it happened to be Crooked Tree brew day. The whole brew house was a heaven of hops aroma.
In complete Dark Horse fashion, the names of these beers are Crooked Tree backwards (Eert Dekoorc) with the name of the hop used (also spelled backwards). That gets us Eert Dekoorc FF (Falconers Flight hops), Eert Dekoorc Edacsac (Cascade hops) and Eert Dekoorc Artic (Citra hops).
I have confirmed with Indiana Beverage, that we will have this variety pack available in NW Indiana on April 20th if not very shortly afterwards. Indiana Beverage is the best NW Indiana craft beer distributor, and they are the ones who brought us the South Bend Brewfest and the Blue Chip Brewfest. I know both of the craft beer specialists personally, and they are very knowledgeable about their beer. Look for Matt Johnson and Ben Amster at tastings around the Michiana area.
Within the past year, I was able to enjoy a Eert Dekoorc FF at the brewery in Marshall, MI. It was full of all those resinous piney and grapefruit flavors that I love in an IPA. It will be lots of fun to compare the characteristics of these four hop varietals at the same time. All four beers will be on draft in the Dark Horse taproom, and you will be able to purchase the 12 packs in their general store. According to their website, the variety packs will be available to all of Dark Horse's distributors and in all markets. So, even if you don't live in Indiana or Michigan, but do get Dark Horse locally, you may be in luck on this one.

Satellite Services at Satcon
2007September 2007
We are pleased to
announce that we will be present at
the Satcon exhibition, at the Javits
Center in New York. Visit us at
booth 905 between October 10-11 to
learn about the latest news about
our network expansion plans. We will
be showing the results of our recent
major investments and announcing
more ambitious projects.
Customer Survey ResultsAugust 2007
Westar Satellite
Services would like to thank all our
customers who participated in our
survey. And congratulations to
Shandy Arellano, the lucky winner of
the iPod!
We are working very
hard to improve and expand our services
based on the customer demands. An online
booking system was requested by most of
the respondents, and it has been already
implemented as our
Video Service Order.
We noticed some
confusion about Westar's offering,
therefore we have also created a
Westar Interconnectivity Directory (WID),
a printable list of the venues that
customers can use to access the
Westar Network, both on occasional
and full time basis.
And last but not
least, we have refocused our expansion
plans based on the survey results; the
network will grow where it is needed the
most. If you did not have the chance to
complete our survey, please do not
hesitate to
contact us with your needs; we may
be already working on bringing the
Westar network to your door.
Green Energy
for Westar
June 2007
Westar Satellite
Services is determined to help
preserving the environment for
future generations, and as part of
this effort it has chosen
Green Mountain Energy as its
energy provider for all its
facilities in Texas.
generation in the U.S. causes more
carbon dioxide (CO2)
pollution each year than all the cars
and trucks on the road combined, hence
supporting the production of electricity
from renewable sources can make a
substantial difference in decreasing
pollution and long term environmental
damage. Green Mountain Energy guarantees
that at least 10% of the power consumed
by Westar comes from renewable sources,
and both companies are confident that
this percentage will increase in the
future as more wind farms and
hydroelectric plants are built.

Chapter 2 Five Years Later
I had several cuts all over me. It hurt
a lot.
Honestly, Kodi, I never expected YOU of all people to get into a fight.
I didnt get into a fight, I just- OW! made Bruce mad, thats all.
Mhmm, and why did you make Bruce mad?
Because he was trash-talking Tara. I told him to stop it, and he turned on me instead, then started hitting me.
And did you fight back?
No maam
At least you have a sensible mind, young man. The woman walked to a closet and opened the door, searching for more bandages, most likely.
That woman is Mrs. Montez; school counselor and nurse, if you could believe it. If anyone needed medical help, she was a miracle worker. Likewise with personal issues like schedules, study-aid, or more emotional things; bullies and the like. Yes, Mrs. Montez was a great woman.
Youre lucky Dr. M. happened to pass by at the time, she said while looting the shelves. Strangely enough, she was married to the principle, Dr. Montez, more commonly known as Dr. M., or Doc-Man.
I just hope you dont get yourself into this position again. You know how much of a role model you are in this school.
Im not THAT notice-
Yes you are and you know it, she interrupted. Now, schools out, and its spring break. You go enjoy your week off, okay?
Yes maam.
And dont get into anymore fights, for pitys sake. She watched as I walked through the clinic door with my backpack and disappeared down the hall. Sweet kid, I barely heard her murmur.
I met Tara back in the sixth grade. She needed help with an art project, so I took the incentive to help her out. Since then, we stayed together for the most part, and I became something like her bodyguard. I was taller than most people in junior high, not to mention well-known (though I never thought so much of myself), so nobody messed with me. Tara, however, was
different. She was imaginative, VERY imaginative, and people thought she was weird because of it. After that first fateful meeting, I stuck around her (or maybe it was the other way around) and she suddenly became quite popular.
Then high school started, and, as usual, the Freshmen became the upperclassmens pawns in the game where the oldest and more mature group of kids always won. Today was such a day. Bruce, a large, hot-headed Junior, started mocking Tara about a play idea she had in theatre. Needless to say, I got into the middle of things, and soon became Bruces punching bag. Dr. M. stepped in, luckily, and sent Bruce to the office, while I headed to the nurse.
Tara! I called.
A lean, fairly pretty girl with straight blonde hair turned around. Oh, hi Kodi. She seemed to blush slightly. I ignored this reaction; she always did that when I showed up.
Hey, are you alright? I asked.
Im fine, but what about you? You look awful! Im so sorry I got you into this
Its only a few scratches
I just wanted to make sure you were fine.
okay, really. She sniffed, and I noticed that she must have been crying recently, but because of what Bruce had said, or because I had the tar and feathers kicked out of me? My rides here. Ill see you tomorrow, Kodi.
Okay. Bye Tara. I watched as she hurried to her fathers black car and disappeared into the distance. Great
I muttered.
Sasha was fully grown now, and looked more like a wolf than she did a dog. She was a lot smarter than an actual dog, too, or so it seemed. In the five years weve had her, shes never had an accident inside the house, made a mess, ruined expensive items (we gave her old bits of clothing to mess with, or anything other bad things younger dogs do. Shes also always stayed very healthy. Most of my time, by my reckoning, has been spent with her; shes been the very best friend Ive had.
As usual, Sasha was waiting for me at the corner of our street. This had become a hobby of hers ever since I entered high school. I was glad she was there; it made me feel secure to know I had a wolf, for thats what she was and I wouldnt deny it, walking with me. I knelt down and rubbed her behind the ears, and she, in turn, licked my cheek a few times. I stood and we began to make our way down the street to our house.
She must have sensed my anxiety, for she continued to glance up at me as we walked. That was another thing about her: she knew exactly how I felt, and would always comfort me if I felt anything other than content. She disappeared to the backyard, having to leap over the fence (we never worried about this) to get there. I reasoned she was heading for her dog-door in the back, so I unlocked the front door (Mom worked late most of the time) and went in, locking it back. I headed for my own room after that.
Sasha was waiting for me. I put my bag down, and then jumped on the bed. She sniffed at various bandages and licked a few of them before nudging my head with her nose.
Bruce started punching me today when I stood up for Tara, I explained. Sasha seemed to nod another sign of her unusual intelligence. She understood everything I said, and sometimes I could understand what she was trying to tell me through her body language. She nuzzled my shoulder, and I pet her on the head. Ill be fine, and I think Tara will be too.
I laid there on the mattress, just looking at the ceiling. Sasha put her head on my stomach, and I scratched her behind the ears. I really wish I could be like you, girl. An animal, with no real cares except for living life the way you know how to. I sighed.
Then I heard a voice. You can be.
I jumped and sat upright, looking around the room. Whos there? I asked, my voice shaking slightly.
Kodi, the voice said again; it was feminine, a beautiful flowing voice, Im here. I always have been.
I looked down at the furry head in my lap. Those icy-blue eyes that Sasha had since she was a puppy were looking up at me. Then she smile
an actual, human-like grin. Hello there.

Homestretch 4 - The Exchange, public option and CO-OPs
[This is the fourth in a series of six articles summarizing the leading categories of issues at stake in the final stages -- the homestretch -- of the debate on national health insurance and health care reform.]
The 55% of Americans who favor a government insurance plan and health reform advocates are rejoicing over yesterday's news from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D, NV). Yesterday, Reid stated that the bill he intends to send to the Senate floor next month will include a "public option" – a federal government created insurance plan offered to Americans who do not get medical coverage through their employers -- with the condition that states could opt out of the program. Reid's move is being hailed as a bold and vital move by health reform supporters throughout the country and a major milestone for health insurance reform as it moves forward in both houses. This is not to say that Reid's model of the public option is a definite or that amendments will not attempt to eliminate or alter the public option in the Senate bill.
Majority Leader Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) are advancing separate healthcare bills, each containing different provisions for the public option. House Democrats may have the support to pass a bill that would create a nationwide government plan without any option for states not to offer the plan; however Speaker Pelosi has stated that the opt-out alternative could be included in a reconciled bill. Both the Senate bill and the House bill will need to be reconciled later this year before final legislation could be sent to the White House for President Obama's signature.
All three of the current versions of the bill in Congress (Senate HELP, Senate Finance and the House Tri-committee bill--H.R. 3200) include a health insurance Exchange, which would serve as the marketplace for qualified plans that follow new insurance provisions. The Exchange would create a competitive marketplace that offered choices of plans, which would have to follow a common set of regulations. The Exchange has several advantages including choice, price competition and portability if you choose to change jobs. In all three proposals, the Exchange would be a place where individuals without access to employer-sponsored coverage could purchase insurance. Small employers could also purchase plans for their employees through the Exchange. In both the Senate Finance bill and H.R. 3200, eligibility for employers would be phased in starting with smaller employers.
Conservative Democrats and some Republicans supported a Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OPs) program. The Senate Finance bill included a CO-OP program, which would encourage the creation of non-profit health insurance companies run by the members. Members would be required to use the profits to lower premiums, improve benefits or improve the quality of the care consumers receive. In order to be included in the Exchange, CO-OPs would have to follow the same regulations as the private plans. Many health reform advocates maintain that CO-OPs have failed in the past and will fail this time too. Additionally, the Congressional Budget Office does not find significant savings in the CO-OP model, whereas it does with the public option plan. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Baucus has said that he chose to include the CO-OP over the public option in the Finance bill because he felt it would garner greater support, but he is still open to the public option.
Despite the disagreement among policy makers regarding the potential success of CO-OPs, much of the debate has now turned to the public option. With Reid's announcement, the question seems to have become not if there will be a public option, but what form the public option will take. Reid's opt-out model allows states to withdraw from the public plan in 2014, a year after the public plan goes into effect. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), the only Republican on the Senate Finance committee to vote for the Finance committee version of the bill, supports the "trigger" model of the public option. The trigger would only put a public option into effect in states that do not meet standards of affordability. Snowe stated yesterday that she was disappointed with Reid's decision to go with the opt-out model over the trigger model.
The Insurance industry has released a report which argues that the public option will raise costs to those people with private insurance plans, in order to offset the reduced cost of the public plan. In fact, public health insurance actually costs less than private insurance. However, the public option as proposed by Reid would be offered through the Exchange, which would only be available to those individuals without employer sponsored insurance. And only a fraction of people would choose the public option, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Moreover, the Exchange would serve as a regulator of benefit plans, and Reid's proposal also requires the government plan to negotiate provider rates, instead of relying on Medicare rates, which are often lower than private reimbursement rates.
Congress must produce a bill that creates competition in the health insurance market, in order to successfully lower costs and provide quality choices to consumers. A majority of Americans, policy makers and advocates see the public option as the best way of doing this. H.R. 3200 and Reid's proposal can achieve this but we cannot lose focus on the overall goal of passing health insurance reform this year. If an opt-out or trigger can create competition while lowering costs and providing quality care, then they should be considered to keep the momentum going. The ultimate goal is quality affordable health insurance for all Americans.
