Samsung And Corning's Lotus Glass Headed For OLEDs
To debut with next GALAXY Nexus device.
The next iteration of Corning's Gorilla Glass claims to be 20% thinner, while maintaining the same impact and scratch-resistance properties as the original. While slimmer mobile devices are always welcome, there are many who won't mind sacrificing some real estate for added protection. Samsung seems to be one of them, since it's trying to achieve better strength as well as clarity for its flagship AMOLED displays.
The Korean electronics major has teamed up with Corning to create Lotus Glass, a beefed-up version of Gorilla Glass. The new reinfored screens are expected to be unveiled with Samsung's upcoming GALAXY Nexus devices. According to the reinforced glass manufacturer, this new screen will offer increased picture quality, faster response time, and higher resolutions, along with providing better structural integrity.
Corning's press release however, says that Lotus Glass is meant for TFT LCDs as well, and not just OLED screens. It also claims to enable more power-efficient displays, thanks to a thinner form factor and a better ability to transmit light. I guess we will have to wait for the crazy drop tests on YouTube to see if Lotus screens are indeed tougher than Gorilla displays.

Why do items found in the mid level of profession skill ups sell so well?
It's not because they sell quickly.
It's not because they sell often.
It's because they don't sell often and don't sell quickly.
WHAT?! Markco are you smoking groms blood again? (maybe you bought it off that imp from winterspring again for cheap but instead of reselling it for 3000% profit you decided to smoke it)
Nope, I'm not... well maybe I am but don't judge me! Let's look at another confusing reason why mid level profession skill ups will do well in cataclysm. It's a simple matter of supply and demand.
The supply for mid level profession skill up items is irrelevant. The demand is what makes it so valuable and it's not because the demand is consistent, it's because it's not consistent that working this market is so profitable.
Confused yet? Don't worry, when I developed the strategy of bidding low and selling normal, most people looked at me like you are now. Like I had two heads and was dual weilding shields. Speaking of "dual," it's dual spec not duel spec. Duel spec is what I use to kill you, dual spec is what I buy to get duel spec. That's neither here nor there though, let's get back on track and avoid more instances of markco a.d.h.d.
Those players who were confused by bid low, sell normal assumed that I was referring to the mantra of buy low and sell high. Nope, nothing to do with what I was talking about actually.
So here's what we have deduced thus far regarding mid level items in cataclysm:
Demand: Random but when someone needs the item(s) in question they need quite a bit of them to power level.
Supply: Inconsistent but also irrelevant due to the spikes in demand.
Bidding Price: Players tend to just toss these items up on the ah while they level, so they use auctioneer's automatic bid pricing which tends to leave a very very small bid. Winning these super cheap auctions means insane amounts of profit for selling at a normal value.
Buyout Price: Irrelevant because you're looking to bid. If there aren't a lot of items up then buying out the few items available and relisting them for normal value is a good way to make gold.
Is it starting to click why bidding on profession items are a great way to make gold now and why they will remain a strong market in cataclysm? You want to know what to stockpile to cover the cost of inflation in cataclysm? Mid level profession items. I expect this market to remain a great way for players to bid and make gold selling at normal values.
Why do items found in the mid level of profession skill ups sell so well?

Mid-level will be a large chunk of the leveling-process as far as professions go. I don't think you stressed the BID enough in this post (as contrary to BUYOUT and SELL), I guess it helps that I used to work with ADHD kids :-D
BID low (and hope you win the bid), then sell it at a normal price (put a normal BUYOUT price on your auction)
I must admit I read this post twice, just to make sure I didn't miss the point your making (even if it's an old bid-low-sell-normal point)
Xalted said... November 10, 2010 at 9:24 AM
Well I don't doubt that you're smoking gromsblood, but your logic is sound! Thanks for the tip. :)
Faid said... November 10, 2010 at 12:54 PM
Yes, spread the good word. I demand the next hero class be tank-only and DW shields. :O
Hoshimori said... November 10, 2010 at 3:31 PM
Good tip is good.
Never really paid much attention to the mid-level items I would make and sell on the AH. Probably why my items were bought out so fast, people were probably just reselling them >.<
Though now I'm curious to know why stuff like shirts can usually sell for 1g or even more on the AH. I remember having an Undead tailor who easily made 5g within the first hour of selling shirts.
Anonymous said... November 10, 2010 at 4:20 PM
Auctioneer needs a searcher that finds auctions which (1) have a bid-to-buyout ratio below 10% AND (2) a buyout price less than or equal to the market price.
Plus make the ratio and buyout price limit configurable.
Mulida said... November 10, 2010 at 5:39 PM
I can't picture Markco smoking anything he could've resold for profit.
Shamon said... November 11, 2010 at 1:07 PM
Hoshimori, just so you are not confused, he is talking about items used for levelling professions not the end product. Therefore you should be looking towards things around the 175-250 skill mark. Mithril ore/bars and truesilver ore/bars would be an example. At least me thinks so :) I'm often wrong!

After a day of impatience and hurt feelings, I curl up with my kids and read our bedtime story. Their heads lean into mine, small fingers curling near my neck. Goodnight sighs and hugs remind me that tomorrow will be better, that motherhood is filled with good and bad days.
When I struggle with words, trying to wrestle them from my head onto the screen, I switch tactics. I write something else. I scribble in a notebook. I copy edit and table my thoughts until later. Eventually the jumble of yarn unweaves, twisting into an intricate spiderweb shining in the sun.
My friends and I spend too much time apart. Yet as we linger over dinner, keeping our waitress waiting far too long, I remember how quickly those moments apart can be erased with listening eyes and shared laughter.
Each of those facets of my life can grow dull at times, but I have the tools to polish them, to lift myself out of feelings of inadequacy.
My relationship with my body is different.
I see the flaws each day, and my focus rests on them, picking at them, obsessing.
There are fleeting moments when I can force my mind to embrace the strength it takes to complete a half marathon, when I can force my eyes to see the progress I'm making in the gym, when I can celebrate my choice of red grapefruit over tortilla chips because of the nutritional value and not the calorie content.
Those moments are brief and infrequent.
Yet I consciously work at it each day, knowing my relationship with my body is influencing how my daughter feels about hers. I know she hears me talk about the benefits of healthy eating and sees me leave for runs, but I also know she is perceptive and intuitive, and I worry about the things I show her when I look critically into the mirror or change my clothes three times for an elusive date night.
I worry when we're playing before bedtime, the Superbowl on in the background, and I see her head swivel to see Jillian Michaels applying body paint to a thin, toned, tan, naked woman.
Logically, I understand advertising is about titillation.
Logically, I'm aware of Go Daddy's particular advertising format, hiring an accomplished woman to consciously objectify herself and drive viewers to their website to see an "unrated" version of the ad.
Logically, I know watching television opens our home to the messages pouring out by anyone willing to buy commercial airspace.
Am I acutely sensitive because of my personal body image issues? Does it twist in my gut because of my daughter's growing awareness of the images around her? Am I loathe to think of my toddler son measuring women against a human mannequin?
But I'm saddened and angry and confused when I see that ad.
I have used Jillian Michaels's workout videos, propelled by her matter-of-fact attitude about what our bodies are capable of doing, encouraged by her obvious physical fitness, motivated by her own personal weight-loss journey.
Reconciling her positive message with the ad I watched the other night just isn't happening; no matter how I try to twist it into an empowerment message, I just can't seem to do it.
I understand Jillian Michaels doesn't owe me a message of empowerment; she isn't responsible for cushioning my body issues.
But part of this journey to be enough means discovering and questioning what keeps us, as women, from feeling powerful and beautiful, so we can challenge and overcome both the external and internal obstacles to accept and celebrate ourselves.
What do you think?

Yahoo News announced today via The Christian Science Monitor that the United States Justice Department is filing an "unprecedented" lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County in Arizona. This news accompanies The Western Center For Journalism's report of Obama airing the dispute before the United Nations Human Rights Council. While it is astonishing that the President and the DOJ would treat American citizens in such a fashion, it would seem that the stage is being set for another series of litigations which also have global implications.
Renewed focus is now being placed on intellectual property, especially regarding the internet. The advancement of the internet and wireless technology has provided numerous outlets and avenues of expression for art, music and literature. The internet has also become a boundless source of news and information for nearly everyone. It is an unrestrained, limitless expanse of breaking news with the capability of providing an infinite number of connections to people and activities. No longer are politicians and officials able to conspire under the cover of darkness without someone, somewhere finding out and broadcasting it to the entire world. Naturally, power moguls would love nothing more than to silence this voice and curtail its power. Politicians have introduced legislation which would censor writers' abilities to report everyday events over the internet, but of course this has to be presented in a marketable fashion in order not to raise suspicion from the masses.
A group of nations have come together in order to develop an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) which would also cover intellectual property violations. This will effectively corral communications over the internet and monitor the flow of information which is the last bastion of unbiased reporting and free speech available on a mass scale. Mary Zachar of the Intellectual Property ADR Services asserts that copyright and the 1st Amendment are "twin pillars" which support the writing industry. Her article questions the wisdom of an aggressive pursuit of copyright infringement cases and the effect it will have on freedom of speech as well as the profitability of news outlets. She points to the fact that many blogs and forums are now calling for a boycott of newspapers filing suit for copyright infringement.
Enter Steve Gibson. Gibson is the owner of a law firm called Righthaven which specializes in copyright law. According to independent journalist Fintan Dunne, Gibson's firm has already launched over one hundred lawsuits targeting blogs, online papers and forums demanding payoffs of over $75,000 each. Gibson's political connections and the fact that many of his lawsuits target political entities are enough to raise a few eyebrows.
So who is Gibson? A big corporate attorney? A former mafia lawyer? Some would say so. It turns out Steve Gibson was listed as a partner with Barack and Michelle Obama at the Sidley Austin firm in Chicago. Another interesting figure at the Austin firm is none other than the White House Copyright Czar herself, Victoria Espinel. In June of this year, Espinel launched the Obama administration's strategic initiative to combat intellectual property theft. Gibson appears to be a strategic arm to help her accomplish this task. Obama had expressed frustration with "diffuse media outlets" such as blogs and internet news sources in the early days of his presidency.
This all might seem rather innocuous if it were not for some rather interesting connections. Dunne reports that the news conglomerate which Gibson represents is Stephens Media. This media outlet is owned by the Stephens family of Arkansas according to Wikipedia, the patriarch of which is Jackson Stephens. It turns out that Jackson Stephens' law firm, The Rose Law Firm, which also represents Monsanto, employed Hillary Clinton in the '90's. It was during this time that Hillary engaged in questionable financial practices which led to the "Fostergate" scandal during the Clinton administration.
As if this were not enough, this thread keeps leading to more global connections including the merger of Monsanto and another Stephens owned business, Delta & Pine Land. The story behind this merger is enough to fuel several Tom Clancy novels and a Bourne Resurgence blockbuster. Included are connections between both the Clinton's and Bush's as well as ties with Sam Walton, Tyson Foods and Monsanto. It turns out that Delta & Pine Land, whose key scientific member, Dr. Nam-Hai Chua, also head of the Rockefeller University Plant Molecular Biology Laboratory in New York, helped to develop and patent the Terminator Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) which became controversial in 1999. Now with its acquisition of D&PL's worldwide subsidiaries, Monsanto is poised for global domination of food production.
So the general public, while defending litigious volleys suddenly coming from out of the blue, is supposed to believe that Steve Gibson, who has more political connections than James Bond is trying to protect the corporate assets of authors and media outlets? Many on the receiving end of Righthaven's attack have their doubts.
All of this reminds one of the George Carlin monologue, "it's a big club and YOU ain't in it!" Whether it is Bush's connection to Monsanto, Cheney with Haliburton, Obama with Gibson, or Clinton with Rose Law Firm, it is all part of "The Club" and honest, hard working folk do not belong. While the left is busy bashing the right and both point fingers blaming the other, "The Club" is busy with its plan, occasionally hypnotizing the masses with entertainers like Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann and providing us with the illusion that we actually have a choice.
Government cannot save us from corporations. It is a corporation. Paid media hypnotists will not lead us to freedom. Our enemies are not members of a foreign religion. The central issue of greatest importance is Liberty. Liberty for ourselves, our neighbor and other countries. Only the voices which cry for Liberty are the ones we must follow. All other voices have agendas of their own. WARNING: CARLIN VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Hard Rock Cafe Restaurant Review: Popular with tourists and college kids who don't know better, the Hard Rock heyday has come and gone. The gigantic, oscillating guitar is an eyesore to the redeveloped and historically preserved K Street corridor, and the food is mediocre at best. If you're looking for a burger and fries or other bar food, there are plenty of other choices nearby. But if you're looking for rock 'n' roll kitsch of the corporate, mass-marketed sort, then this may be your place.

Tonido and TonidoPlug, from Codelathe in Texas, bring you open source applications that rival many big named applications.

You can run your own personal cloud from your own computer and never have to share important personal information with any third parties. Tonido allows you to access and share your content directly through a web browser without uploading or worrying about storage limits. You can share files, music, photos and calendar, download torrents and even manage your finances straight from your desktop. Free.
JukeBox is an application for Tonido that gives you quick and easy access to your personal mp3 music collection from anywhere via a web browser. Thots is an application that acts as a private blog or journal, which you can use to store notes, bookmarks, web clips, and other random pieces of information. Torrent is a web-based torrent client that allows you to manage your torrent file transfers from any device with a browser. Workspace is a full fledged browser-based application for Tonido, which can be used as a Personal Information Manager (PIM) to store contacts, calendars, tasks, and even files. You can even create workgroups and share your info from Workspace with other people, like coworkers. Webshare is another application for Tonido that allows you to share large files that are too big to email, directly from your desktop to anyone with a web browser. Photos is another application that allows you to send photos directly and privately via Tonido P2P network to your friends and family. Search is another application for Tonido that makes searching your own computer from anywhere as easy as searching the web. Tonido's Money Manager is an easy to use personal finance application that helps organize one's finances and keeps track of where the money goes. Tonido Explorer is a simple no-frills application that enables you to browse, manage and download any file in your home computer from any remote machine (or smart phone) via a browser.

Simply keep your computer running and be logged into Tonido and you can search your computer and files from any other device that uses a web browser.

TonidoPlug is a tiny, low-power, low-cost home server and NAS device powered by Tonido software that allows you to access your apps, files, music, and media from anywhere.
If you aren't fully convinced at how hot these applications are and how huge this TonidoPlug is, just check out what was said in these trusted articles from the likes of geeks.com, Scholastic Blog, Download Squad, ZDNet, and CNN.
Donating to the community that made your open source software choice helps greatly as well. It keeps the creators working and updating the very software you downloaded and are now depending on. Help them help you. Use common sense when downloading. Research, check your system to make sure it can run the software, and use trusted anti-virus software. Good Luck.

The Denver Broncos have been major players, inking a class highlighted by receiver Wes Welker and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
The Atlanta Falcons haven't made many moves, but they did sign running back Steven Jackson.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' signings include safety DaShon Goldson and linebacker Jonathan Casillas.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns have made several moves, highlighted by the signing of Paul Kruger.

The Bennett name is quite familiar to the Phoenix as her father, Dick, was the head men's basketball coach from 1985-95 while brother, Tony, played there from 1988-92. Kathi graduated from Green Bay in 1986. RENEWING AN OLD RIVALRYNorthern Illinois and Green Bay have long been foes on the hard court and beyond as the Huskies and the Phoenix were members of the North Star, Mid-Continent and Midwestern Collegiate Conferences from 1988-97. The teams met each other four times in the postseason, with NIU owning a 3-1 advantage over Green Bay. The Huskies were 2-1 against the Phoenix in tournament championship games. This will be the 26th meeting all-time, as Northern Illinois owns a 13-12 lead in the series.FIRST TIME IN A WHILESince parting ways in conference realignment, the Huskies and the Phoenix have only played each other twice. NIU and UWGB last squared off Nov. 28, 2007 at the Kress Events Center, Green Bay's first women's basketball game in the new facility, with the Phoenix taking the contest, 76-54. The teams have only met twice in non-conference play, with Green Bay holding a 2-0 advantage.MORE HUSKIE AND PHOENIX TIESFormer Northern Illinois University women's basketball coach Carol Hammerle (1998-2005) was a longtime head coach at Green Bay, serving 25 seasons there from 1973-1998.SCOUTING THE PHOENIXGreen Bay finished 2012-13 with a remarkable 29-3 overall and a perfect 16-0 record in the Horizon League en route to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth straight season under Head Coach Kevin Borseth, now in his second season. The Phoenix have traditionally been one of the top women's basketball programs in the Midwest, advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2011 where they lost to Baylor, 86-76. Green Bay lost to LSU last season in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.In CollegeInsider.com's Preseason Top-25 Mid-Major poll, UWGB is ranked No. 4 in the country and earned 12 first place votes in the poll. No. 1 Gonzaga earned 15 first place votes.Green Bay lost four players who started all 32 contests in 2012-13, but return redshirt junior Megan Lukan, who averaged 7.1 points and 4.4 assists per game from the point. Redshirt senior Breannah Ranger, who appeared in all 32 games off the bench, will step into a major role this season for the Phoenix after averaging 7.3 points to lead the bench, while averaging 17.9 minutes per game. Ranger is Green Bay's top-returning scorer heading into 2013-14.COACH FLEMING ON GREEN BAY..."With the history in their program, Green Bay is going to come out and play hard. We're going to have a battle on our hands. They're going to raise their banner from their NCAA Tournament appearance last year, so I know they are going to be ready for the game. It's going to be close to a sellout so it's going to be nice atmosphere up there as well. They have one returning starter this season (Megan Lukan), and another girl, (Breannah) Ranger, who played a lot of minutes for them last season so they'll have a lot of girls who are planning on stepping up and making a name for themselves so they'll come out playing hard."Assistant Coach Latrell Fleming is in his first season on staff at Northern Illinois after spending the 2012-13 season at Milwaukee. Fleming was signed and recruited by Kathi Bennett's father, Dick, in his time at Wisconsin.SHARING THE WEALTHThe Huskies had no problem scoring in their exhibition versus Lewis Nov. 2 as five different players scored in the double-digits in the 76-72 victory over the Flyers. Junior Amanda Corral paced NIU with 15 points, trailed closely by sophomore Alexis Lindstrom's 14. Junior Natecia Augusta earned 13 points in the post while classmate Danny Pulliam and freshman Ally Lehman each dropped 10. NIU had four players reach double-digit scoring last season in the Huskies 73-52 win at Ohio Feb. 6.A TOUGH ROAD AHEADHead Coach Kathi Bennett stated numerous times during the preseason to various media outlets that "this season's schedule is the toughest we've played since I've been here." Take into the consideration the strength of the Mid-American Conference this season and the proof is in the pudding. Five of the Huskies opponents, including three from the MAC, are ranked in CollegeInsider.com's Preseason Mid-Major Top-25 poll. Green Bay enters the season No. 4 with 12 first place votes, while South Dakota State is No. 8. Mid-American Conferences foes Toledo and Central Michigan are ranked Nos. 5 and 9, respectively, and Bowling Green rounds out the poll at No. 25.HUSKIES ON THE DEFENSIVEDespite their 7-23 record, the Huskies and their famed "pack defense" were fourth in the MAC last season in scoring defense as NIU allowed 59.5 points per game. BACK IN HER COMFORT ZONEAfter spending time the last two seasons at point guard, junior Amanda Corral is back at her natural position of shooting guard. Injuries at various points over the last two seasons forced Corral to run the point. Despite being out of position, she averaged 12.7 points per game and 2.1 assists per game in 2012-13.AN ALL AROUND PLAYERAmanda Corral led the Huskies in points, rebounds and assists per game last season, only one-of-two players in the Mid-American Conference last season to do so and is the only returning player in the MAC to accomplish that feat in 2013-14. She averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.1 helpers per game. Kent State's Tamzin Barroilhet also led her team in the aforementioned categories last season.CORRAL'S SECOND HALF STUFFJunior Amanda Corral had a solid afternoon versus Lewis University Nov. 2, leading the Huskies with 15 total points. While she scored four points in the first half, Corral added 11 in the second stanza with four free throws, two field goals and one from behind the arc. She was a perfect six-for-six at the free throw line.PULLIAM BACK IN THE LINEUPAfter missing most of the last two seasons, redshirt junior Danny Pulliam returns this season to the point guard position to run the Huskies offense. She started and appeared in five games as a sophomore before tearing her meniscus and undergoing microfracture surgery. In 2012-13, she played in seven contests before suffering setbacks in her rehab. In those seven games played last year, she accounted for nearly 20 percent of NIU's assists while she was on the court. A TRANSFORMATION IN THE POSTJunior Natecia Augusta made big strides last season in her game, improving her scoring from 3.9 points as a freshman to 6.2 points as a sophomore. After a busy summer in the weight room to improve her strength and fitness, Augusta will be looked upon to take bigger role in the post in 2013-14. HOT AUGUSTA NIGHTSLast season, Natecia Augusta led the Huskies in field goal percentage with a clip of .528 on 127 total shots. Not only strong from the field, the then-sophomore also produced at the free throw line with a .789 mark. She twice went eighth-for-eight at the charity stripe last season, and also produced eight flawless games from the line. She scored six times in the post versus Lewis in exhibition play, closing the day with 13 points.LINDSTROM FROM DOWNTOWNSophomore Alexis Lindstrom found success for the Huskies last season as a three-point shooter, going 31-for-73 (.425) from behind the arc. Her field goal percentage in three point range was tops in the MAC last season, .080 ahead of Central Michigan's Kerby Tamm.LINDSTROM'S EXHIBITIONLast Saurday against Lewis at the Convocation Center, Alexis Lindstrom hit four three-pointers in the first half to lead Northern Illinois in the half with 12 points. She would close her afternoon with 14 points.WELCOMED ADDITIONSOver the summer, the Huskies added two new assistant coaches in Debbie Whitman and Latrell Fleming. Whitman, a member of the Northern Illinois Athletics Hall of Fame, was promoted to assistant status after spending last season as the team's Director of Basketball Operations. Fleming came to NIU after spending a year at UW-Milwaukee. Also new in 2013-14 is Graduate Assistant Anya Covington, who played four seasons at Wisconsin, her last two as team captain, before playing a year in Germany for the Rhein Main Baskets.THE PACK WITH A TWIST Most college basketball fans know of the pack defense, made famous by Dick Bennett and the rest of his family coaching tree, including NIU Head Coach Kathi Bennett. This season, Kathi added a twist to the family's bread and butter, adding more pressure to opposing offenses to create turnovers and allow the team to play more of a transition type of offense. Northern Illinois scored 76 points in their lone exhibition of the season. FRESHMEN JUMPING RIGHT INThanks in part to the NCAA's new rule, allowing newcomers to work out with the team in the summer, the Huskies welcomed four freshmen to campus. Three of those freshmen, Amber Gray, Jazmine Harris and Ally Lehman, got their first taste of collegiate basketball last Saturday versus Lewis. Lehman scored 10 points in the first half of the game on four field goals and two free throws. Harris added three points to the Huskies tally of 76 points.MEET Alex Dumoulin Junior transfer Alex Dumoulin is used to being a member of a team as she is one of 10 children in her family, six girls and four boys. Dumoulin grew up playing basketball with her siblings and other children that worked on the family farm in Hampshire, Ill. The forward was an all-american at Elgin Community College and grew up playing on the same team with her older sister, Cassie, who also played basketball at Elgin and was an all-american. She went on to play at Illinois.THORP - A JACK OF ALL TRADESOver the last three seasons in the Northern Illinois program, redshirt junior Jenna Thorp has developed into a do it all forward for the Huskies. After averaging 4.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 2011-12, Thorp improved her numbers last season to 6.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. The Hinckley native doubled her assist output as well, increasing from 22 helpers to 53. She also became a threat behind the three point line, shooting 15-for-44 (.341) in 2012-13, compared to 2-for-6 (.333) as a freshman.FOLLOW THE HUSKIES ALL SEASON LONGNorthern Illinois women's basketball can be followed in a myriad of ways throughout the season.

The recipe: Add a generous portion of the best high school ruggers in the United States and a dozen referees to four beautifully prepared rugby pitches. Beat in size-five rugby balls and add a pinch of Olde Boys for seasoning. Bake in sunshine under Colorado-blue skies for two days.
The result is a perfect weekend for rugby at the Tenth Annual Eastern Rockies Rugby Football Union (ERRFU) Rocky Mountain Challenge.
The Rocky Mountain Challenge kicked off at Aurora Sports Complex Saturday where four hundred high school rugby players representing ten rugby unions competed in two divisions.

Notification Letter to Employees of Workplace Misconduct and Terms of Progressive Disciplinary Policy
Author: Darrell R. VanDeusen, Kollman & Saucier, PA
When to Use This Letter
Employers should use this letter when they want to give employees advance notice of the types of behavior that will constitute misconduct, as well as provide employees with advance notice of the terms of a progressive disciplinary policy. Advance notification of misconduct is typically required when employers prefer to discharge problematic employees for "gross misconduct" or "for cause," the latter of which may trigger a termination provision of an employment contract.
Below is a model letter that should be further tailored to fit the employer's specific needs

I know it is a pain, but keeping that baby in you as long as possible. Study after study after study shows how even at 39 weeks, there can be long term problems! We have ALL been there, those last weeks are brutal, but it is best for your child to be in side you as long as they need.

College Hockey:With four games left, Atlantic Hockey teams hunt for one of four first-round byes
It's time to think about final fours in Atlantic Hockey. There are four games left in the regular season, and four first-round byes on the line.
Hanging onto first place for the second straight week is Air Force, which is riding an eight-game unbeaten streak. The Falcons are getting it all right now: excellent goaltending from sophomore Jason Torf, timely scoring and a defense that excels on both sides of the puck.
"We're playing with a lot of energy right now," said Air Force coach Frank Serratore. "When we have a lot of team energy we do well."
The Falcons generate a lot of their energy from the blue line. Seniors Tim Kirby and Scott Mathis have 44 points between them and log loads of ice time. Sophomore Adam McKenzie is the heir apparent and gives the Falcons depth.
"I think Tim Kirby is the best player in the league and Mathis is right up there, too," said Serratore. "I think if we win [the regular season title] Kirby has to be MVP. I think [Rochester Institute of Technology goaltender Shane] Madolora is there, too. If RIT wins, then he's the MVP or maybe someone else if another team wins it. But in my mind Kirby is the best player in the league. He does it all for us."
Serratore had been splitting goaltending duties between Torf, who returned from injury in January, and senior Stephen Caple. But two weeks ago, Torf played both games of a sweep against RIT and was also in net for both games of last weekend's series with Niagara. Serratore said that he's settled on Torf for the stretch run.
"Steve did a great job for us," he said. "But it gets to the point where you have to go with your gut and do what puts you in the best position to win. That weekend with RIT was huge for a number of reasons. We had to take four points. We did and we're still in a fight."
Air Force hosts Mercyhurst this weekend and the Falcons will try to keep rolling and stay atop the heap for another week.
"Things are so tight and finishing in the top four is so important," said Serratore. "The future is now. We're already in the playoffs."
Up for grabs
With an unprecedented seven teams still having a mathematical chance to win the regular season title, here's what we know after Tuesday's 4-1 win by Niagara over Canisius:
• There are still eight teams alive for a first-round bye. Canisius was eliminated from that possibility on Tuesday.
• Air Force can clinch a first-round bye with five points in its final four games. Rochester Institute of Technology needs six; Mercyhurst seven.
• If the season ended today, Air Force, RIT, Mercyhurst and Niagara would get the byes, but the Purple Eagles have played one more game (and after Thursday it will be two more games) than Bentley, which is two points back.
The league uses the following tiebreakers, and based on the logjam at the top of the standings, these will probably be looked at frequently over the next two weeks:
1. Points head-to-head
2. Goal differential head-to-head
3. Conference wins
4. Goal differential — conference games
5. Goals allowed — conference games
6. Goals scored — conference games
After being critical of the playoff system last season, I have nothing but praise for the current format, which features four first-round byes and makes the first round and semifinals best-of-three series.
Players of the week
From the home office in Haverhill, Mass.:
Atlantic Hockey player of the week:
Drew George, Sacred Heart
The freshman scored his team's first hat trick of the season on Friday in a 5-5 tie with Connecticut, including the tying goal with 57 seconds to play. On Saturday, he was also the difference, scoring in overtime for a 2-1 win. George is tied for the team lead with 11 goals.
Atlantic Hockey goalie of the week:
Jason Torf, Air Force
Torf looks like he has settled in after returning from an injury that kept him out of the lineup for the first half of the season. The sophomore had another good weekend, this time posting a 17-save shutout and then stopping 26 of 29 the next night to help the Falcons take three points from Niagara and maintain their hold on first place.
Atlantic Hockey rookie of the week:
Matt Garbowsky, RIT
Garbowsky had his best weekend of his young career, scoring two goals and adding a pair of assists to help the Tigers to a sweep of Canisius. He has 16 points on the season, tied for fourth on the team.
Fantastic frosh
They're still freshman, but most coaches will tell you at this point of the season, their first-year players aren't really rookies anymore. The league lost a lot of talent at the end of last season, but this year's freshman class has helped to defray that, and there are plenty of candidates to choose from for rookie of the year and the all-rookie team. Here are a few to consider:
Matt Ginn, Holy Cross: In a conference dominated by upperclassmen goaltenders, Ginn has made his mark with a 2.13 goals against average, good for fifth in the league. Last weekend, he stopped 51 of 54 shots to lead the Crusaders to a sweep of Army.
Daniel Bahntge, Mercyhurst: Bahntge leads all rookies in scoring with 22 points in league play and is tied for fourth overall in the conference. He had three assists last weekend and his overall point total of 28 leads the Lakers.
Nardo Nagtzaam, Mercyhurst: Another member of a very talented Mercyhurst rookie class (which also includes Chris Bodo, Ryan Misiak and Tyler Shiplo), Nagtzaam is right behind Bahntage in scoring with 26 points overall, including 10 goals.
Tyson Wilson, Robert Morris: One of the better rookie defensemen in the league, Wilson has 11 points so far.
Cole Gunner, Air Force: Gunner has cooled off after a hot start, but has 17 points in league play so far, tied for fifth in the conference for rookies.
Chris Lochner, Niagara: The rookie has nine goals so far this season, including seven on the power play, tied for first in the league.
Cody Wydo, Robert Morris: Wydo leads the Colonials with 12 goals, including four game-winners.
Bryan Sheehan, Sacred Heart: Sheehan has been a bright spot for the Pioneers. His 10 goals is second on the team and second among AHA rookies.
Brett Switzer and Alex Grieve, Bentley: Switzer's 21 points are second-best on the team, and Grieve is just a point behind and has 10 goals, many of them big ones for the Falcons.
Brad McGowan and Matt Garbowsky, RIT: Linemates for most of the season, the pair have 14 points each.
I'll be picking the USCHO Atlantic Hockey all-rookie team in my March 15 column. The league will announce its choices the same evening.
One and only
The semifinalists for the 2012 Walter Brown Award have been announced, and Atlantic Hockey is represented by just one player: Bentley's Brett Gensler. The award, given by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston to its selection of the top American-born college hockey player in New England, has 14 candidates from Hockey East, five from the ECAC and only Gensler from the AHA.
Excluded but noteworthy are Holy Cross' Adam Schmidt and Brandon Nunn, Connecticut's Cole Schneider, and Sacred Heart's Brian Sheehan.
Tweet of the week
After careful consideration, I've deemed no tweet worthy of TOTW. Just as players need to step up their game in the closing weeks of the season, so do you Tweeters out there. Better luck next week.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the respiration position, which is optimal for co-registration of abdominal CT images, and the corresponding positron emission tomography (PET) scan in a new combined PET/CT system. Ten patients (5 men, 5 women; age 57.7+/-15.3 years, age range 34-80 years) underwent imaging for tumor staging on a combined PET/CT scanner (Discovery LS, GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, Wis.). The PET emission images were acquired during normal shallow breathing and during CT scanning the patients performed four different breathing tasks: free breathing (FB); maximum inspiration (MaxInsp); maximum expiration (MaxExp); and normal expiration (NormExp). NormExp was defined as the respiratory level that was reached when the patient first inhaled and then exhaled without forcing expiration, and then held the breath in this position. Movements of the spleen, liver, left and right kidney, and the bladder were measured by using the promontory of the sacrum as a reference point and measuring the distance from this point to the abdominal organs in the PET and CT images by two independent observers. Statistical comparison of the measured distances between the CT scans and the PET scan were made using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test with Bonferroni correction. Repeated-measures analysis of variance served for the assessment of intraobserver and interobserver agreement. There was no significant difference between NormExp and FB indicating that both respiration protocols are suitable for PET/CT image co-registration of abdominal studies. In contrast, the MaxExp and MaxInsp protocol are not suitable. The NormExp and FB respiration protocol are both suitable for the co-registration of abdominal PET/CT studies. In most patients the mismatch of abdominal organs will be lower than the resolution of the final co-registered PET/CT image.

Death, Theft, Violence, and Catnip: The M-ASFF In Review
May 5, 2011
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
On Tuesday, John Giambruno's Video Production class put on M-A's first student film festival in eight years, showcasing films written, directed, and produced by the students. The films showed the immense creativity of the Video Production students and covered a broad range of topics. Below are short reviews for each film.
"Peace" Directed by Jade Vaughn
Vaughn stars in her own film, playing a girl who is coping with the loss of her sister who died in a rope swing accident. The film is very well shot, especially in the beginning. The camera shots and angles show the imbalance of the girl's life, from panning to where the audience expects someone to be– such as when Jade holds up skirts or shorts as if asking for her late sister's opinion– to including an empty cereal bowl at the dining table. Vaughn simply but poetically captures the bond between two sisters by attributing to each of them a bracelet with a silver peace charm, a sort of connection that they still share, even though one of them has passed away.
"To open a box" Directed by Atzin Sanchez
Sanchez added a throwback to old-fashioned silent films with her contribution to the festival, showing us just how difficult it is to open a taped-up box. Upon receiving the box in the mail, Sanchez attempts to open it, but cannot, as she has mislaid her scissors. After several seconds of futile searching, all seems lost for our heroine, who collapses into charmingly exaggerated sobs, her despair almost keeping time with the Chopin waltz playing in the background. She is revived, however, when a text message– heralded into the scene by Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer"– finally tells her how to open the box by using the "flippy thing on the side." Sanchez opens the box to find nothing in it, but all's well. In this case, it was the experience, not the result that was the reward.
"Murder at School" Produced by Monica V., Danielle P., Michelle K., and Selomit O.
Danielle P. plays a detective trying to solve a recent murder at her school. Armed with her trench coat and infallible wits, she sets out to find out just what happened to the now deceased student. She speaks to the victim's boyfriend and ex-best friend, imagining how either one of them could have been involved in the murder. The film's end was rather predictable– a teary confession from the Danielle's third suspect–, but the black-and-white ghostly return of the victim ominously pointing at her murderer was a nice touch. Also included a cameo by English teacher Ana Ventura.
"American Dream" Directed by Jonas Jacobsen
"American Dream" is a simple, monochrome vignette starring Jacobsen. Its charm lies in its simplicity. The film consists mostly of just four clips: Jacobsen's eyes opening, him doing pushups, and two angles of him doing crunches. The sequence of these four clips gets faster and faster and is soon interrupted with a cut of armed marines walking in front of a military compound. Overall, a poetic film, especially with Jacobsen's disarming smile at the very end.
"The First Job" Directed by Bryan Garcia, Brenda Gomez, and Alexis Rodriguez
Garcia plays an avid gamer who goes out for a drive, only to have his car stolen. He seeks the help of a middleman, played by Dustin Fosgett, who will presumably hire an agent to get the car back. At first, it seems as though Fosgett was the one who would retrieve the car, but his somewhat untimely disappearance places the responsibility on the shoulders of Gomez, the actual agent. She is ultimately successful in finding the stolen car, thus giving her character the edge of female empowerment, which is always welcome to see.
"Bullies Bad Day" Directed by Jason Paulin and Cody Richenberg
Richenberg plays "a kid who can't fight," but who manages to fulfill every wimp's fantasy of triumphing over the schoolyard goons. After having his own money stolen, he seeks revenge on the bullies, played by Paulin and Charles Washington, but solely for his own gain. His vengeance on the bullies is paired with his trying to retrieve and return a wallet stolen by the bullies that belonged to a girl played by Destiny Mitchell. While violent retaliation is rarely commendable, Richenberg's good deed at the film's conclusion– giving Mitchell's wallet back to her– shows that even the downtrodden can follow a wholesome moral compass.
"Odd Family Business" Directed by Katie and Jonathan Morataya
Family ties can be remarkably powerful, even to the point that they can wake the dead. After swearing to get revenge for the murders of some of their own, a family, presumably headed by Jonathan Morataya, finds themselves the targets of another vengeful plot, carried out by their otherwise sweet-looking friend. However, though it appears that this friend has succeeded in killing all of her enemies, she ultimately meets her demise when that same family comes back from the grave, pushes her over, and kicks her while she's down. Commendable parts of this film include the well-presented and believable familial unit of the main characters, as well as the ninja skills of one guy who jumped off a tree to gun someone down.
"Ya-ssassins" Produced by George B., Dan M., Drew U., Adam S.
This was the only film of the evening to drop the F-Bomb, but that wasn't the only thing that made it entertaining. George B. plays a well-seasoned secret agent who takes on an apprentice to get "The Goods" from a fabulously wealthy criminal by stealing into his remarkably well landscaped home. George remains true to his character, rarely removing his really shiny aviator glasses, except to peek around corners. For a film of barely eight minutes, "Ya-ssassins" holds a fair amount of suspense. The audience is kept guessing as to whether the agents will succeed in their mission, whether the New Guy will prove his worth, and whether George actually drowned in that pool, or was just absorbed in the acting of it all.
"Saltwater Tafty" Directed by Andy Nixon
This was the longest film of the evening, filling 11 minutes and 4 seconds, but it was entirely entertaining. Colin Sutton plays the laid-back, cool shorts-wearing version of a cyborg William Howard Taft. After his creation, his father, a mad scientist played by Nick Cuisinot, tries to get him to socialize. Taft manages to find somewhat of a friend in Esteban, played by Alex Fioretti, but their capture by the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Cyborg People) cools their relationship, though they manage to make amends in the school hallway. The film's historical cast includes John Wilkes Booth, Benjamin Franklin, and Macaulay Caulkin. We should expect great things from the young men at Pork Row Productions.
"Youth Discrimination" Directed by German Romero
A departure from the comedies and dramas of the evening, Romero presents a short documentary telling the story of three young men who have felt the discrimination of racial profiling from police officers. Hakim Scott, Angel Marrientos, and Josh Branner each tell their story of how they've been stopped on the street, even handcuffed. This documentary is simple, but effectively reveals to the audience that profiling in any neighborhood is unfair and unjust.
"We have a Visitor" Directed by Charles Washington
Three young men are disturbed at home– in the middle of playing video games, no less– by a drunken, armed intruder. However, despite being at the mercy of a potentially violent madman, the three youths manage to maintain a sunny disposition. They rid themselves of the "visitor" thanks to their own wits, and their assumption that he isn't very good at hide-and-seek. After the intruder leaves, having been chased away by his own hallucinations, the three boys revel in their escape from certain death by playing Black Ops. A wise choice, men.
"What Happens When No One's Watching?" Directed by Katie Vallarino and Lauren Diller
Diller plays a bandana-shrouded, sweats-clad serial killer. Vallarino plays her first victim. After Vallarino's disappearance, her friends, played by Stephanie Sabatini, Sammi Scharninghausen, Blair Johnson, Amy Kim, and Brianna Mack search all over town for her, passing out fliers and asking neighbors if they've seen her. When they stumble upon Diller's eery death cabin, Sabatini insists on going inside, despite the hesitance of her peers. When she doesn't return, Johnson goes looking for her, only to find a heap of mangled limbs and Vallarino, surprisingly still intact. Diller, who's otherwise quite amiable, pulls off being a maniacal killer quite well, even wielding a chainsaw with panache.
"Boxygen: A story of an American Canada" Directed by Alex Youngberg
Alex Youngber and Andy Nixon revive their historical characters, Macaulay Caulkin and John Wilkes Booth, from "Saltwater Tafty" to try to answer the impossible question: When you poop in your dreams, do you poop in real life? At the mention of dreams, the film immediately takes an Inception turn, complete with overpowering music and slow motion running scenes. The film's synopsis states that, "It's not a blog." If it had been a blog, it would have been an awesome blog.
"A Glass of Tang" Produced by Michael McDonnell and Jake Meyers-Snowball
Based on a short story by Snowball, "A Glass of Tang" depicts a "disillusioned man," played by Dean Wilkins, who finds he must accept and come to terms with the death of his wife, played by Rebecca Snowball. The film gently and poetically tells the audience of the wife's death, running through sequences of Wilkins's morning routine, all of which include his wife who always appears in the same outfit, and having Snowball tell Wilkins that he "can't keep living like this." The actors are believable, as is the denial of Wilkins of his wife's passing. The camera work is simple, allowing the subject matter of the film to capture the audience's attention. What editing there is, including turning the landscape purple and meshing several sequences of Wilkins walking into the kitchen to get breakfast clad in several different sets of pajamas, is flawlessly incorporated into the film, exemplifying the melancholy of the loss of a loved one.
"Catz and Drugs, Meowvie" Directed by Peter Freschi and Brittney Badduke
The "Meowvie" ended the festival with a message to the youth in the audience that it's possible to overcome peer pressure. Tom Liggett plays the new kid at school. While the other kids seem friendly, they're peculiar. They don't swim, they lick themselves. Ergo, they must be druggie cats. And they are. Suzie McMurtry, one of the feline junkies, tries to lure Liggett away from his law-abiding life with promises of yarn, scratching posts, and milk pong, but Liggett refuses to become involved in such a shady bunch, instead finding a friend in Dan Moritz-Rabson. Maybe this was also send a message to parents: if you don't tell your kids about catnip, who will? Also included a cameo by English teacher Liane Strub.

Lahorra died June 20 at Hillcrest Hospital from complications of a stroke. He was 83.
"He was very concerned and attentive and helpful. He'd just had his gall bladder removed, but got out of his sickbed at the old Hillcrest to come and see how my wife was getting along," said Theodore Jones of Lyndhurst, a long-time friend and patient.
Lahorra was born to Spanish colonials in the Philippines. He survived World War II without electricity or running water, living on meager rations. His older brother, a physician, was killed by American shells during the liberation of Manila. By the war's end, the younger brother was malnourished, shell-shocked and left for dead.
Long after recovering, he earned a medical degree at the University of Santo Tomas and finished his training in Cleveland at Doctors' Hospital and Western Reserve University.
He mostly practiced privately in primary care and general surgery on the East Side, with a special interest in colon and rectal diseases. He was a founding staff member of Hillcrest Hospital and director of family medicine at St. Luke's Medical Center. He also worked at University Hospitals.
He was an Indians and Browns physician in the 1960s and 1970s. His family said Luis Tiant often brought his children to the Lahorra home in Cleveland Heights and chatted in Spanish.
Lahorra was also a corporate doctor at Tremco, Hauserman, Ohio Machinery and Cardinal American. He was a medical officer of Conrail and Penn Central. He won the local Academy of Medicine's Clinician of the Year award in 1993.
He taught catechism in Spanish at St. Paul Catholic Shrine. He joined medical missions to the Philippines and Cuba.
He made house calls well into his 70s. He played tennis several times a week at the Cleveland Racquet Club. In later years, he frequented the Peter B. Lewis Aquatic and Therapy Center.
After retiring because of macular degeneration, he volunteered at the Cleveland Clinic's Cole Eye Institute and was named Clinic ambassador of the month. He spent his final 39 years in Pepper Pike.
Survivors include his wife, the former Patricia Hill, five children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Ripepi Funeral Home handled his arrangements.

During an offseason in which his team's three-year starter at center left town, second-year Saints offensive lineman Tim Lelito invested time in acclimating himself with a skill he otherwise may not have concentrated on as much.
"I did a lot of snapping," Lelito said Wednesday to local reporters during an appearance at Airline Park Academy in Metairie. "I got real comfortable with that."
Such is life for a player whose superiors have repeatedly said will compete for a job vacated by Brian de la Puente, who was the first-string center in New Orleans from 2011 through 2013 and joined the Chicago Bears in free agency earlier in April.
It was clear from Lelito's statements that he was giving himself the best shot possible to succeed de la Puente. Aside from keeping in shape and boning up on snapping, he's immersed himself in the Saints' playbook to learn what each member of the offensive line is supposed to be doing at any given moment.
"Last year, I had to know the plays, but this year I have to know the ins and outs of every play," Lelito said. "I have to know what everyone's doing on the line so we're all together.
"If I say we're going here, that's where we're going, so it's kind of on me. I have to pay a little more attention."
Nonetheless, the Saints have been upfront about their intention to bring in someone to compete with the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Lelito when New Orleans' training camp begins in July.
They reportedly visited with free-agent center Jonathan Goodwin, who was with the Saints from 2006-10, played three seasons for San Francisco and is back on the open market. He was a Pro Bowler the year the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV.
The Saints have also been linked to a couple of centers who will be available in the upcoming May 8-10 draft.
Lelito on Tuesday insisted those matters don't concern him. "Whatever I can do to help the team get better this year is what I'm going to do," whether that's as a starting center, a reserve at that position or a backup to guards Ben Grubbs and Jahri Evans, he said.
No matter what his future holds, Lelito accumulated experience as a rookie in 2013 that should benefit him greatly.
After making the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of NCAA Division II Grand Valley State at the end of a preseason in which he memorably recovered a goal-line fumble for a touchdown, Lelito filled in at right guard for two games that four-time All-Pro Evans sat out due to injuries.
In the first, against Arizona in Week 3, he surrendered three quarterback sacks to three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Darnell Dockett. In the second, at Atlanta in Week 12, he gave up a play that ended in lost yardage and was called for a holding penalty, but he improved noticeably.
What made the performance against the Falcons even more remarkable was that days earlier he had attended the funeral of the grandmother who raised him in his youth in Michigan.
New Orleans won both games on the way to a run to the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
"It's less surprising every time you go out (and start)," Saints right tackle Zach Strief said Tuesday in response to a question about how beneficial it was for Lelito to step in for Evans. "Things start to slow down."
Lelito agreed.
"It's definitely different … going from a D-II college and coming into the NFL," he remarked. "That was a huge step, so every day you've just got to keep working, keep learning … from the … veterans."

The Yoder Ruritan Club is hosting a fish fry fundraiser to benefit the Stuttgart RSVP from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15, at the Grand Prairie Center.
"We enjoy doing this for RSVP and they always help us when we have a function," Gus Hensiek, past president of Yoder Ruritan Club, said.
Hensiek said all proceeds from the fundraiser, which will be dine-in or carry-out, will benefit the Stuttgart RSVP, which is the largest senior volunteer organization in Stuttgart.
"This is our third year to do this fundraiser and we enjoy doing it for our seniors in Stuttgart," Hensiek said.
The proceeds from the fish fry will be used to fund the organization that provides volunteer services to Stuttgart in variety of projects throughout the year, Norma Strabala, director Stuttgart RSVP said.
"We are always very appreciative of the Yoder Ruritan Club," Strabala said.
RSVP volunteers are active in local blood drives, reading to elementary school students, volunteering their time at the local museum, assisting at the mass flu clinic, registration of local schools during the fall and much more, Strabala said.
"The seniors in Stuttgart do much more and are always ready to get to work," Strabala said.
Tickets are $12 each and are available in advance or at the door. For more information or for tickets, contact Strabala at (870) 673-8584.

Arkansas State Police and a U.S. Marshal Saturday arrested two Mississippi fugitives wanted in connection with a crime spree that began Christmas Day and continued into the following day. ASP reported the crimes included kidnapping, home invasion, robbery and gunfire directed at police officers in Sardis and Batesville, Miss. The incidents also may have included the armed robbery of the Conoco convenience store at Helena Crossing on Dec. 26. According to ASP reports, Cody A. Eggemeyer, 26, and Michael D. Mannis, 33, were arrested without incident outside the Crown Inn in Brinkley around 3:15 p.m. Helena-West Helena police reported Friday that they were seeking three white males in connection with the Thursday, (Dec. 26) robbery of the Helena Crossing Conoco convenience store. According to police reports, Helena-West Helena Police Officer Chris Hellums responded to robbery call around 3:23 p.m. While viewing the surveillance video, Hellums saw a white male wearing a white baseball cap pull out a gun and point it at the cashier. A second white male in line also pulled out a handgun and ordered the customers to get down on the floor. At that time, the customers ran out of the store. The man at the counter proceeded to take the money from the register. He and the other gunman fled the store and got into a black Chevrolet pickup truck where reportedly a third white male was waiting for them. The truck reportedly fit the description of a vehicle stolen from an Oakland, Mississippi man. Hellums was told that the truck crossed the Helena Bridge. The storeowner, Marty Bennett, told Hellums that the robbers got away with about $600. Officers searched the bridge area and the Isle of Capri Casino but could not find any sign of the black Chevy truck. The Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division is working with Mississippi and federal authorities in the investigation of Eggemeyer and Manis.

A majority of sandwich chains and deli's allow you to create your sandwich with choice of toppings, meats and cheeses, but few do it quite like Which Wich. At Which Wich the brown paper bag is a lot more than a sandwich holder. It lists your sandwich choices, creates your sandwich and decorates the store with customer's art work.
If you're feeling a little confused about the process here is a step by step guide to enjoying Which Wich.
1) At Which Wich you have the option of choosing a pre- designed sandwich or creating your own from scratch. They have ten different sandwich categories which include: Turkey, Ham & Pork, Seafood, Chicken, Breakfast, Italian, Vegetarian, Classics, Comforts and Beef.
2) Once you choose your sandwich category the fun begins. Brown paper bags are separated into their respective categories and list the different options for your sandwich. Grab a paper bag from your desired category, pick up a red marker and start checking off whatever you want. Choose your sandwich choice, type of bread, cheese, toppings and extras.
3) When you're done creating your sandwich write your name on the bottom of the bag. Walk up to the cashier where they will take your brown paper bag and place it on a clothes line that slides down to the assembly line of sandwich making.
4) The Which Wich sandwich maker will look at your choices, design your sandwich and send it through the toaster. Once it comes out of the toaster finishing touches are put on, the sandwich is sliced, wrapped in tin foil and placed in the brown paper bag that started it all.
5) Your name is called and it's time to enjoy your sandwich creation.
While a great deal of the fun comes from the atmosphere, they offer a variety of sandwich options that will have you coming back for more.
Some predesigned options include:
MonteCristo- Ham, Turkey, Grape Jelly and Powdered Sugar
Chicken Cordon Bleu- Made with Chicken and Ham
Shrimp Po'Boy
Caprese- Mozzarella, Tomato and Pesto
However, if you want to start from scratch some possible toppings include: Pesto, Avocado, Caramelized or crispy onions, and even Cheese Wiz if you dare to be that adventurous.
While the sandwich is the star at Which Wich, you can also enjoy a warm chocolate chip cookie that they send through the toaster and milkshakes for dessert.
As you eat feel free to pick up another red marker, and leave your mark at Which Wich by either drawing a picture or leaving a note on the blank side of your bag that can be hung on their wall.
The only question left to answer is which 'wich' will you choose?
Which Wich in Naperville is located on 2728 W. 75th Street Suite 120, Naperville, IL 60564
630-961- 2000
Another location is "Coming Soon" in Downtown Chicago. It will be located on 108 N. State St. Chicago, IL 60602

A rare phenomena occurring once every couple years around the world has hit parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio this week.
While driving along I-80 in western Pennsylvania on Monday, a huge cluster of what appeared to be rolls of toilet paper invaded the median of the highway. At first I thought they were stacks of snow covered hay. Later that day I discovered they were "snow rollers" and were so unusual that they became an online sensation on social media sites and regional TV stations.
Snow rollers are most common in mountainous or hilly terrain. Basically, strong winds pick up moist snow and blow it along the ground, eventually building a cylinder of snow, which is often hollow in the middle. When the snow roller grows too large for the wind to propel it farther, it stops.
Here are the optimal conditions for snow roller generation, according to the National Weather Service:
- Existing icy or crusty snow cover, so additional snow will not stick to it
- Additional wet, loose snow on top of the icy, crusty snow cover
- Wind strong enough to scoop out balls of snow and propel snow roller forward
- At least some slope to the ground
A quick search of the Internet found photos and video at WPXI Pittsburgh, PA, Newsnet5 in Cleveland, OH, and NBC4 Columbus, OH.
Snow rollers can be as large as barrels, as you can see in this photo from Du Bois, Pennsylvania captured by nature lover (and my sister) - Marianne Atkinson. Her reaction to seeing them around her property: "There have been local people posting pics of them on Facebook. So, I looked up the hill and by golly, we had them too! My mouth dropped open in amazement!" Marianne also said, "The large snow rollers were at least a foot in diameter! It is cool how you can see the layers, sort of like the growth rings on trees!"
Needless to say, I wish I would have taken some of my own photos along I-80; but stopping for non-emergency reasons on interstates is illegal. In this case I'll just have to adopt a phrase used by Cleveland sports fans regarding their losing teams - "there's always next year."
Have you ever seen a snow roller in person? Please share your experience with my readers!

The T-Mobile Galaxy S5 won't officially go on sale with T-Mobile until April 11, but we can comfortably confirm that on Friday, many T-Mobile stores in the Los Angeles region have received Galaxy S5 units to train their staff. How do we know? Because a very nice store manager let us see one with our very own eyes! That means a first impressions review is coming soon, folks! We are delighted with what we have seen on the Galaxy S5, especially the heavenly screen.
There is even better news. We were told that there may be some T-Mobile and Sprint stores selling the units ahead of the April 11 street date. This happened last year as well, where T-Mobile and Sprint users purchased the Galaxy S4 the weekend before it was supposed to hit stores.
The Galaxy S5 is the biggest star in the smartphone market, with its 5.1-inch, Full HD, Snapdragon 801-equipped handset. It has the brightest and most colorful screen ever seen on a smartphone. Worldwide pre-orders have hit the millions. Let's hope that the phone can continue to sell well after all the hype dies down. It will face a lot of competition from the iPhone 6, which could be released as early as this June.

Summer is Back On in Banff as Performances at The Banff Centre Heat Up
Banff Forecast: Hot July, Hot Summer Arts Festival
Banff National Park, Alberta (July 2, 2013) – Banff National Park welcomed visitors from across Canada and around the world this past Canada Day weekend with clear blue skies and temperatures soaring into the 30s. The weather lifted spirits, setting the stage for a sizzling month ahead for the arts scene as the Banff Summer Arts Festival kicks into high gear.
This July, audiences in Banff can plan their Canadian Rockies escape around a packed schedule of indoor and outdoor cultural performances and exhibitions from contemporary dance to indie rock to mainstage opera, film, new media, literary readings, and art installations.
The Banff Summer Arts Festival, the longest running multi-disciplinary arts festival in Canada, appeals to all ages and cultural interests, and providing unparalleled access through dozens of free events. In most cases, the performances you see on stage are the outcome of The Banff Centre's arts training and creative development programs.
The Shaw Amphitheatre with its spectacular Bow Valley backdrop is the host venue for several exciting outdoor performances this month, including one of Canada's most beloved bands, Blue Rodeo. Led by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, the group will celebrate 25 years with yet another memorable concert on July 6, along with 2013 Juno-Award nominee for Reggae Recording of the Year, Makeshift Innocence. Canadian singer-songwriter, Feist, a bona fide worldwide star, grew up playing the punk scene in Calgary; the Grammy-nominated, eight-time Juno Award winner hits the stage with openers, Snowblink, on August 7.
The Festival will also feature headliners from the opera stage, including the spectacular soprano Measha Brueggergosman, bringing new music plus standards from her latest album, I've Got a Crush on You, to the Shaw Amphitheatre on July 13. Rising star Philippe Sly, a grand prize winner at the 2011 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, will be at the Rolston Recital Hall on July 17, and Canadian-born opera star Ben Heppner, recognized as the finest dramatic tenor in the world today, will be in recital on August 4.
Mikhail Baryshnikov, whose brilliant career in classical ballet included countless principal roles with the Kirov Ballet, the New York City Ballet, and the American Ballet Theatre visits Banff for the Heather and N. Murray Edwards Legendary Leaders Series. Baryshnikov will be onstage in conversation with Globe and Mail columnist Ian Brown on July 27. The Literary Journalism Series runs through the month of July, highlighted by conversations between Brown and long-time New Yorker contributor Calvin Trillin on July 10, and winners of the CBC Canada Writes non-fiction award on July 25.
