The Dark Knight Triumphs
Heath Ledger's Joker is Unforgettable
As Heath Ledger's scary face as the Joker emerges during the first tense, exciting scene of The Dark Knight, it is quickly obvious that this is the new and improved Batman. It is no longer the Batman of old, with campy comedic performances by people like Jack Nicholson or Cesar Romero. Instead, this revitalized comic-book-derived franchise flick (it follows 2005's Batman Begins) is a sinister and scary nosedive into the depths of Gotham City's darkest corridors, where evil incarnate lives and the Batman is the city's only hope for warding off the Joker's spooky malevolence.
With writer-director Christopher Nolan at the helm, The Dark Knight is a well-paced adventure spectacularly captured in IMAX (it will also be screened in 70mm, but make the trip for the well-worth-it, eye-popping, vertigo-inducing experience) that is sure to satisfy not only the most hardcore comic fan, but also those of us that simply like a good story.
Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes, giving the character more depth and strength than her less-talented predecessor, while Aaron Eckhart joins the mostly returning cast (Christian Bale as Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary Oldman as Lt. Gordon) in a fine performance as District Attorney Harvey Dent. However, it is Heath Ledger, the talented young Australian actor who tragically died shortly after finishing this film, who steals the spotlight from the rest of the extremely accomplished cast.
Ledger's Joker is a chillingly evil character, with a variety of tics, stutters, and twitches that fittingly reflect his total sociopathic psychosis. Ledger truly disappears into this stunning portrayal of a madman who wears clown makeup while blithely murdering anyone who gets in the way of his egomaniacal machinations that set Gotham City into a frenzy of fear. It is a performance worthy of an Academy Award nomination, and a sad epitaph to a talented actor's life, cut short way too soon. Watch for the moment that is sure to become an iconic image in the pantheon of Hollywood, in a league comparable to Hitchcock's shot of Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) being chased by the cropduster in North by Northwest.
While The Dark Knight does drag slightly in a few spots (the film runs about 2 hours and 40 minutes long), overall, it is an exciting story that is well-told, well-acted, and well within the context of the comic books that have made the Batman part of the fabric of pop culture for almost 60 years. Don't miss this one, and make sure to see it in IMAX for the full effect.

So far, so good.
Off 26 months, but it looked like Mike Jones wasn't working to shake off a thick layer of rust as he dominated Jaime Herrera in the first and second rounds at Ballys in Atlantic City on Saturday night.
The aisled were jammed up, the fans in attendance were on their feet prior to this main event, pitting Jones against Herrera, an 11-2 guy invited to the dance to test Jones, to give a good account of himself, but not, at the end of the night, have his hand raised.
Jones, the 31-year-old from Philly, had the footwork edge on the less experienced boxer. He stung the underdog from Illinois, shook him with crisp connections. With seconds left in the second, Jones scored a knockdown, which had the Ballys brigade amped. It seemed like Herrera might not recover. But he was working off a different script…
You wouldn't know it by watching the third round, though. Herrera took yet another trip to the canvas. Jones backers were jazzed, as it looked to even an untrained eye that the end was near for Herrera. He got out his red pen, scratched out what had been written by the Jones gang, the best case scenario for the comebacker, and he started to re-make the tale.
Well-timed combinations consistently connected, and most meaningfully at the right eye of Jones, which had begun to swell after a clash of heads in the second round. Minute by minute, Herrera gained momentum and gained control of the fight, as Jones seemed to fade with each passing round.
Controlling the action well through the sixth round, Herrera was pulling ahead in the fight, as Jones was bloodied and struggling with an eye that was now part of some bad math. Eye in rough shape, put together with waning stamina…
A visibly deflated Jones barely remained on his feet at the end of the seventh round. The lungs, the legs, the eye, all were betraying him. He went back to his corner, and his condition, and probable prospects to be able to escape from Herrera's blows, were noted by the ringside doctor. Referee Earl Jones waved off the fight.
You'll maybe recall that Jones' promoter, Russell Peltz, told me that a KO by Jones was needed to give the comeback a proper shine. I had to check in with Peltz, get his response to the shocker loss.
What are your feelings on the outcome of Saturday's match up?
"As a promoter, I could not ask for a more terrific fight," Peltz said. "You can't do any better than that. It was a great fight with two talented fighters who were well-matched."
Did the stoppage surprise you?
"No, I thought it would end in a knockout, and that's what happened," he said. "Had the referee stopped the fight after the big knockdown in the second round, and I think 99% of referees would have, we would be talking about the exciting comeback of Mike Jones, but that's not how it went. I can't take anything away from Herrera. He picked himself back up after two knockdowns and got right back in the fight. When you see a fighter wobbling and taking a beating early, then rise to the occasion and come out victorious, that's impressive. The fans couldn't have asked for a better fight and I'm happy about that."
How did you feel about Mike's conditioning? He looked out of shape from where I was sitting, I told Peltz. It looked like he ran out of gas.
"I think he was conditioned well, but he told me he ran out of gas," Peltz said. "Between the hard hits he was throwing early in the first few rounds, the ring rust, and his nerves, he got beat. He had two problematic cuts, one over the right eye earlier, which was from a clash of heads, and one over the left eye. The thing about cuts from head butts are that you don't see them immediately. The swelling catches up with the fighter in the next rounds. It's hard to say if both of the cuts were from head butts. I will have to take a look at the tape to see when both cuts occurred, but it wasn't called a head butt."
How is Mike feeling now, I wondered.
"I talked to him at the airport before he was ready to return to Vegas," Peltz said. "He didn't remember scoring the second knockdown, which is odd. It is strange that a fighter wouldn't remember that. He went for his catscan after the fight and everything was alright. He said he's alright. We've got to wait our sixty days, and see what happens."
What's next for Jones?
"We'll see what happens," he said. "He's interested in getting back in the ring and I hope to see him there shortly. Now that he's made it back to the ring, he'll fight again. We will see what happens."
Though the fight had a dramatic beginning, Jones, now 26-2, was still a far cry away from the fighter he used to be, to my eyes. He was visibly exhausted and stopped pressing the action after the fourth round. He was unable to capitalize on the two big knockdowns earlier in the fight, and his defense was not good enough to hold off a determined fighter like Herrera. To my surprise, Herrera was able to turn on a speedy offense and land numerous combinations that Jones had no energy left to answer.
Jamie Herrera advances to 12-2 in a loaded welter weight division and I am excited to see what he will be able to do in the future, and will monitor his matches moving forward. Depending on how he looks in the near future, it could tell us that he was underrated going in, or, maybe, be used as evidence that Jones' best days are too far gone for him to be able to clamber back to the big stages.
Y'all know me. I've always called Mike Jones a hype job. Danggit! He gets beat on his comeback after two years of sidelining, and people and his team act like it is the referee's fault. Yup! Nyet.
Jones and company ought to get outta here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuKZ5-w8Y9E&list. Holla!

With you all the way on this one, Radam!
-Randy G.
Its obviously going to be tough for Jones to come back from this. It is a major set back in once appeared to be a very promising career.
I wonder too how much his heart was really in the sport. He took two years off after Randall Bailey shockingly ko'd him and in that time was pretty much unheard from. By all accounts from this fight, he ran out of gas after a good start. So you have to wonder how seriously he took his conditioning.
As far as a future in the sport, well that's up to him. If his heart is not in it, then he needs to get out. But if he can get properly motivated and into proper condition, well maybe he can still make a run at things. That's a big if though given what he showed in this come back effort.
Radam is right on - right is right. Jones has been a fan's disappointment, but I feel for the guy. As TSS house shrink, barring any neurological problems, I see a fighter who has lost belief in himself, the grandiosity - self-hype - that adds layers of fire and sheer will to combat-readiness, the belief that the tools in your box will WORK, that you can TAKE IT and push through....how many superior athletes in the ring have had their day in the sun cut short because they never reconciled being mortal with being a bad-*** SOB with will power and a sharpened razor. But here's a Doc Mortcola exception that proves the rule: Wladimir Klitschko. Hot shot giant with monster power and athleticism falls prey to anxiety the first few times someone bum-rushes his gate, and instead of becoming a car salesman or lost cause drunk, he re-tools his technique and learns to control his anxiety - no one has even shaken that "questionable" chin since the first Peter fight, and he's lost less than a handful of rounds in years. Forget whether you think he's boring - he fixed what failed to function, and became what he was truly capable of being. Mike Jones might learn a lesson there - a man must be have the courage to re-define himself when the first script fails. Maybe, just maybe, we see a Major Makeover and a second coming. I always liked the kid, but like Radam, i thought he was riding a wave that couldn't last. But the raw materials an fundamentals are there.
Klitschko came back very well from a rocky start to his career with a lot of help from the same guy Lennox Lewis went after suffering two knock outs, Emmanuel Stewart !
[QUOTE=Froggy;62334]Klitschko came back very well from a rocky start to his career with a lot of help from the same guy Lennox Lewis went after suffering two knock outs, Emmanuel Stewart ![/QUOTE]
Emanuel Steward was a genius at spotting a fighter's strengths and weaknesses. Shortly before Wladimir Klitschko was stopped by Lamon Brewster, Steward said to me, "Wladimir makes a terrible mistake of dropping his hands after he throws punches. A guy with fast hands and power is going to capitalize on this."
Then it happened.
Then Klitschko hired Steward. He hasn't lost since, keeping the principles Steward taught him. He was able to do that because he is a structured, disciplined warrior. I don't believe Mike Jones, with his distrusting, scowling, "I-don't-need-your-help" attitude, will be able to do the same thing.
I am sure he'll return, but another Thomas Hearns he'll never be.
Not even close.
-Randy G.

I'm pretty new to WoW (been playing for a few months), but I have a few gold tips I'd like to share from other games I've played. For example, Runescape. There the Grand Exchange works just like the AH, so why not transfer tactics as well?
Tip number one
If you have a guild of dedicated gold makers (not likely, but it does happen), why not make it a "Merchanting Guild". On Runescape, there would be pretty large clans who decided on a high demand, high supply item, and buy every single one they could find. After a while, prices skyrocket. Then they sell everything off, sometimes making profits in the millions. Why not try the same thing in WoW?
Tip number two
Now that http://theunderminejournal.com/ supports EU servers, use it! I made about 300 gold yesterday in 10 minutes of work. I noticed that dusky pigment sold for 30 gold per stack, whilst Midnight Ink sold for ~200 gold per stack. Buy the pigments, make them into ink, and sell them. This isn't as profitable anymore, the prices have gone down, but the basic theory is simple.
Tip number three
The undermine journal has these wonderful charts that I'm sure Markco has already told you all about. But I'd just like to mention them as well. They allow you to predict patterns for example. Now, if we take a look at the Midnight Ink chart (at http://eu.theunderminejournal.com/item.php?realm=A-Turalyon&item=39774 ) we can see that prices are quite low during the week, but all of a sudden they spike at Wednesday and the weekend. This is probably because the ink is used for Glyphs and vanishing powder, and these days are the most common raid nights, meaning people will want glyphs. Then the prices start going down on monday again, and then the cycle repeats. This can also help you in investment. Say you don't have a scribe. What you do is buy the ink during the week when it's relatively cheap, and sell it during price raises for a profit. Simple :)
I hope I have made some sense, and thank you Markco for an awesome blog!
3 comments: on "Basic Wow Gold Tips for New Players"
Sinshroud said... August 21, 2011 at 8:29 AM
I'm sorry to say but I think this is one of the guides that actually ends up being more harmful to new players than helpful.
It's great that you are trying to contribute to the community Patrick, and they are good tips. Just simply not for most beginners.
"Merchanting Guilds" almost never work out in WoW. I know of a few such guilds which are comprised of veteran wow players, all over the gold cap and whom have no interest in making gold. Their interest is manipulating the market to the extreme and simply having fun with messing people around.
For new players in such a guild, they can so easily be taken advantage of. Veteran gold makers know their posting times, their alts, their supply lines, etc. Making it so easy for the veterans to trump those newbies by simply watching their alts, cutting off their supply lines and posting the minute the newbie logs offline.
TuJ is a great tool, but it's something that should be introduced alongside with more information / detailed strategies / helpful guides. Otherwise in the end a newbie will visit the page and get overwhelmed.
The third tip is fine, it's great to be able to learn and understand market cycles.
Would like to see more posts by you, but maybe just keep in mind any new player is going to need more information. People often use the excuse of "new player guide" or "lowbie guide" to put a lack of effort/detail into their guides, but if anything those types of guides are the ones that need it even more.
Patrick said... August 21, 2011 at 1:54 PM
I see what you mean, Sinshroud. I guess I was too focused on following "The Template"... :/
But I guess the next post can only be better in that case ^^
Patrick said... August 21, 2011 at 1:58 PM
I just thought of a way to rectify tip no. 2.
You could use it to check if it's more profitable for miners to sell ores or bars for example. Or for skinners, if the prices of skins are going down, meaning they should wait with selling their stacks.
Feedback appreciated btw ;)

Companies Try to Avoid Steep Health Insurance Bills by Rewarding Employees For Healthy Lifestyles
by Lakshmi Gopal on April 25, 2012 at 11:56 PM Health Insurance News - G J E 4
Companies in the US are struggling with a 113 percent rise in health insurance costs since 2001. They now want to reward employees for leading healthy lifestyles.
The Kaiser Family Foundation has reported that about 55 percent of all Americans get their health insurance through an employer. The employee pays a part of that surging premium cost.
AdvertisementWorkers, in the near future, may be asked to pay a larger part of the premium, but some employers are offering discounts on the worker's share if they agree to exercise regularly, participate in disease management programs, or quit smoking.
Proponents of these wellness plans claim the discounts are effective by offering financial incentives to individuals who agree to make healthier life choices and manage chronic conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, which are major contributors to the skyrocketing cost of heath care.
While there is a dearth of evidence to prove that these wellness programs promote healthier workers and lower-cost medical expenses for companies, the idea seems to have taken off.
In 2010, an estimated 49 percent of employers offered reduced rates or bonuses for participating in wellness programs, according to AON Hewitt consulting. Last year, the number of employers offering discounts swelled to 54 percent, and the trend doesn't seem to have reached its peak yet.
But not everyone is in favor of allowing employers to dictate personal choices of lifestyles just because they are providing health insurance coverage. Some claim it's an invasion of privacy while others fear that it may lead to discrimination against workers with chronic heart disease or diabetes.
Already, states such as California and Colorado are working on protections to prohibit discrimination and make sure that all workers have equal access to health care coverage.
When companies weigh the relative health care costs of obese workers or smokers against the cost of health care for non-obese or non-smoking workers, the financial considerations make a strong statement.
Under current federal law, employers can offer financial incentives for participating in wellness programs that equal 20 percent of the total health care premium. In 2014, that will be raised to 30 percent.

We waited until after nap time to do presents (otherwise she wouldn't want to leave her new toys to sleep) and she woke up ready to party:
|I love my new hat! I feel so pretty.
|Hold me.
|Marines have to study how to use the potty. Tinkle tinkle toot!
After cake, Faith got to go outside and play with her new sand and water table. This was a big hit (I really liked that it came with an umbrella to keep the sun off my ginger spawn) and if you were wondering, it takes about 10 minutes for a toddler to realized that the point of the table is to dump sand into the water side and laugh manically.
|It will never look this clean again.
|Hey Peanut, stop drinking my water! That's for splashing only!
The party was a success and I wasn't even lazy like last year (when I got BBQ catering) and made a ton of food for everyone. In all honestly, one of the main reasons I didn't do the BBQ again was that the BBQ place recently burned down. You'd think a BBQ joint would have a good handle on fire management, but I guess not. Faith really enjoyed the party, especially how she was the center of attention the whole time.
Because I really enjoying giving my little brother a hard time, let's laugh at his newest tattoo. Here is an example of his typical tattoo:
|Oooo, a big tough badass Marine with a flying swirly head skull. So scary!
Whatever street cred you get from a skull tattoo is completely voided by something like this:
|Yes, seriously.
Peanut update:
Peanut still isn't 100% and it was really hard to keep her quiet with house guests and the party. I think she might have overdone it with her excitement and I'm a little worried about how tired she seems. I'm not really sure what to expect as far as recovery, but I may call the vet tomorrow if she still seems so "blah" to me. I know her pretty well and I think she must still feel pretty sick to be so out of sorts.
My mom and older brother even bought her a brand new toy (her favorite kind: the fleece ones that you can shred and make a mess!) and this is all that she did with it:
|In my dreams, I'm making a big mess of this on the white carpet
I did have to save her from some harassment during the party. Apparently being male means you think using static electricity to stick balloons to a dog is HILARIOUS. Well, Faith also thought it was really funny. Poor Peanut was just looking at me like: "Please end this".
I went on a group run this morning (8 miles) and Peanut was mad to have to stay home, but my husband said she kicked up a fuss for only a few minutes after I left and then laid down on the couch with her head on his lap because she wore herself out. For reference: normally if I leave her home from a run, she cries the whole time. We don't actually miss the whining, but it's concerning to see a dog who can run for hours become exhausted from 3 minutes of activity. I'm pretty sure I'm worrying for nothing and in a few days I'll be complaining about her driving me nuts asking to go for runs!
What's the funniest tattoo you've ever seen? One time I saw a big dude with a Big Bird tattoo on his calf. That struck me as an odd choice.

Even if we're headed somewhere fun, packing is still kind of a pain. However, Fossil's Isla Frame Cosmetic Case ($25) has us excited to get packin' for our next trip. The fun pattern on this cosmetic case makes us think of warmer climates and tropical getaways, plus we're less likely to lose it in our overfull suitcases. The rigid top of the case houses a mirror for makeup application, and also keeps our stuff from getting squished. If you generally pack more (or less) makeup than this baby will hold, it'd be fab for jewelry as well!

|Introduction to Hypergeometric Functions
|MASS Colloquium
|V. Retakh, Rutgers University
|The theory of hypergeometric functions started more than 300 years ago and continues to bring us more and more surprises. Hypergeometric functions and their close relatives, special functions, appear almost everywhere (in Analysis, Combinatorics, Algebraic Geometry, Number Theory, Theoretical Physics) and always in the heart of the matter. The classical theory of hypergeometric functions (mostly in one variable) was developed by Euler, Gauss, and other greats. The modern theory of hypergeometric functions of several variables was started around 1985 by B. Dwork, I. Gelfand, M. Sato and their schools. It found striking applications to modern physics including the mirror symmetry. In this talk I will try to present an elementary approach to hypergeometric functions.

Lucine Amara, Artistic Director of the New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera (Verismo Opera), has announced open auditions for the Verismo Opera Chorus will be held on Wednesdays, September 10 and 17 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at 44 Armory Street in Englewood, New Jersey.
Male and female vocalists -- amateur, professional, and retired are invited to audition and learn more about the opportunity to sing in the Verismo Opera Chorus. Male singers, representing all vocal ranges and ages, are especially needed.
During the company's 25th anniversary season, Vive la France, choristers will perform in the company's production of Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème on Sunday, October 19 and 26, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. at the Bergen Performing Arts Center, located at 30 North Van Brunt Street, in Englewood, New Jersey. Applicants interested in learning more about Verismo Opera, the 2014-2015 season, and the Verismo Opera Chorus are invited to attend the organization's Open House on Saturday, September 6 at 1:00 p.m. at 44 Armory Street in Englewood.
"Many of the great singers such as Sutherland and Caruso started their careers in an opera chorus, including myself. Singing in a chorus gives the vocalist a chance to be on a professional stage, helps get rid of nerves, and work with some of the top pros. A great chorus is the life blood of every opera," said Amara.
Under Chorus Director and Associate Conductor Mara Waldman, singers will explore grand opera through live performances. The opera will be fully staged, with the cast performing in costume accompanied by an orchestra under internationally renowned Principal Conductor and Music Director Anthony Morss.
Applicants should have a working ability to read music and experience singing. The audition consists of singing five note scales. During the audition process, each singer's range and vocal category will be determined by Chorus Director Waldman. Applicants do not need to bring a song or music to the audition.
Download an application at http://verismopera.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/chorus.pdf or send a request to email@example.com. For information or to schedule an appointment to audition for the chorus, call (201) 886-0561.
The audition site is handicapped accessible. Designated handicapped parking is available. Vocalists requiring a special accommodation should call (201) 886-0561 at least two weeks before the audition.
The 2014 season is made possible, in part, with funds provided by the New Jersey Council on the Arts/Department of State, through grant funds administered by the Bergen County Department of Parks, Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs. Other supporters include Children's Aid Foundation, Robert J. Campbell, MD, Cesare L. Santeramo, KSJ, Paul Weiss Matching Fund, The Gerda Lissner Foundation, Inc., and Vanguard Charitable Endowment Fund.
For 25 years, the New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera (Verismo Opera) has been an integral part of the region's classical music culture. Led by Metropolitan Opera luminary Lucine Amara, Verismo Opera delivers a rich, grand opera experience for performers and viewers.
The organization provides performing opportunities for young musicians and artists through its semi-annual productions at the Bergen Performing Arts Center and concerts held in community settings. Community members are invited to get involved as supernumeraries and volunteers.
An annual international vocal competition is conducted in November with finals generally drawing artists throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Verismo Opera also organizes opera workshops, master classes and concerts and offers affordable, highly professional productions.

make your own cake flour
Does your grocery store have the nerve to inconsistently stock cake flour? Does it drive you crazy to see recipe after recipe that calls for it, and wonder what else you can use? Good news: Cake flour is really easy to make at home. Add two tablespoons of corn starch to each cup of regular flour and sift this mixture together twice. Measure your cups of flour from this mixture.

What's up dear readers!? I've found yet another fantastic actor in the DMV you should know about. Her name is Kacey Leigh, and if you haven't heard of her, you'll be seeing her on your small screen or maybe the multiplex sooner rather than later! Kacey stopped by recently to tell me what's going on with her career.
How did you get into acting?
I got into acting in 2013. It was right after my surgery for thyroid cancer when a friend approached me about an acting class in Baltimore hosted by Ken Arnold and Dan Franko and I thought, "Why not? Life is too short to not do things you've always dreamed of doing." For me acting lets me express myself. I love playing roles that are total opposite of my personality because it helps me grow. I realized after being on a set for the first time that acting is something I wanted to do as a career.
Being on set makes me so happy. I love getting to know the film crew, directors, and everyone on a personal level. Hearing my little sister come to me and say she wants to be like me when she grows up and admires me so much made me want to accomplish even bigger projects. Everyone has a story to tell. I don't just want to be an actor. I want to help people going through a tough time know that it's never too late to start to live out your dreams. I am truly blessed and thankful for everyone who has been a mentor to me.
Q - What was your first film project and how did you get cast?
My first film project was a show called "I Want That". I got offered to do the show and it was an amazing opportunity. I remember being told it airs in over 50 million homes and I kind of just paused and thought that's a lot of homes. After that I realized in this business networking is the key. I have had nothing but amazing opportunities and projects come along in the past 6 months. I put my heart into every project I do. You never stop learning!
Q - What kind of roles do you see yourself playing? I can see myself doing a lot of comedy and romances but I don't want to be known for any one type of role. If it came down to it and I needed to play a role out of my comfort zone then I would do my best job at that role. So many actors get type-cast so easily. I have the girl next door look but I could kick some ass and take names. You are not learning if you are not stepping out of the "comfort zone" you build yourself.
Q - What's next ?
Well of course I'm going to take over the world! Haha. No, but I did just recently finish a show for an American digital cable and satellite television channel. Director Mark Marabella was so awesome to work with and his crew. Speaking a different language on set with help from coach Adam Kissinger definitely broadened my ability.
I have a few Indie films coming up. "Cold Hope" is directed by Brandon Henderickson and the "The Lonesome Trail" is directed by Arlette Thomas Fletcher and both films have very talented local actors in them, such as Donald Imm, Lamont Easter, Honey St. Dennis, Gabriel Fiorindo Bellotti and others that are looking forward to filming. I hope that my personality, work ethic and passion for acting will shine through and bring many more wonderful opportunities my way.

Crothersville-This morning, at approximately 12:40 a.m., the Indiana State Police responded to a two vehicle crash on US 31 near County Road 500 South in Jackson County that claimed the life of a three year old Seymour girl.
The initial investigation by Trooper Jacob Tolle indicated that a 2006 Jeep Liberty being operated by Brent A. Sawyer, age 21, Crothersville, Indiana was traveling southbound on US 31 when he lost control of the vehicle. Sawyer's vehicle crossed the centerline into the path of a 2003 Ford Windstar being driven by Devin P. Bevers, age 30, Crothersville, Indiana that was traveling northbound on US 31. The vehicles collided nearly head on in the center of the roadway.
As a result of the collision, Bevers' daughter, Tavaya A. Bevers, age 3, who was a back seat passenger in Bevers' vehicle, sustained fatal injuries in the crash. She was transported by ambulance to Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Indiana where she passed away from injuries sustained in the crash. Tavaya Bevers was believed to be have been properly restrained in a child restraint when the crash occurred. Both drivers were checked out at the scene by medical personnel after sustaining minor injuries in the crash.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing. Toxicology tests on both drivers are pending.
Trooper Tolle was assisted by Troopers Matt Holley, Korry Clark, and Tia Deaton. He was also assisted by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, Crothersville Police Department, Jackson County EMS, Vernon Township Fire Department, and Howard's Wrecker Service.
Voters in Scott County have long bucked national trends when voting for candidates in national and state elections.
On Tuesday, May 3, Democrat voters put Hillary Clinton ahead of Bernie Sanders by percentages of 55 to 45%. Though she failed to carry the state of Indiana in the Democrat Primary, Clinton scored 300 more votes than the socialist-leaning Sanders, 1,588 to 1,288.
Statewide, Clinton lost the primary to Sanders. She got 297,150 votes to Sanders' 331,707. However, the two Democrat candidates split the number of delegates, Sanders getting 43 to Clinton's 37. Consequently, though the news wasn't good for Clinton, the defeat certainly didn't stop the former Secretary of State from adding a few more delegates to her total, which overshadows Sanders.
On the Republican side, activity was lively at Indiana voting sites. In Scott County, County Clerk Missy Applegate reported that she ordered more than the usual number of Republican ballots. Republican pollworkers still ran out of printed ballots at Vienna 3, Johnson and Finley. Applegate said more young – and some not-so-young - voters showed up and decided to take a Republican ticket this time around.
The majority certainly voted overwhelmingly for candidate Donald Trump. Trump got 1,929 votes or 65% of Scott County's ballots to 867 for Ted Cruz. Since all of the Republican candidates were still listed on the ballot, several people took other routes, 100 voting for former Ohio governor John Kasich, 28 for Dr. Ben Carson, 23 for Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, 9 for Marco Rubio, 5 for Jeb Bush and 2 for both New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Cruz's recently-selected vice presidential running mate Carly Fiorina.
State-wide, Trump triumphed, taking a total of 587,706 votes for 65% of the total cast and earning all 51 delegates. Cruz lagged at 404,327. Kasich attracted 82,786; Dr. Carson, 8.860; Bush, 6,419; Rubio, 5,118; Paul, 4,267; Christie, 1,714; and Fiorina, 1,478.
In the seat for what will be Indiana junior U.S. Senator, Ninth District Congressman Todd Young was also an overwhelming winner, getting 2,256 votes in Scott County and 643,143 statewide. He defeated challenger Marlin Stutzman, who got only 509 votes in Scott County and 318,277 statewide.
On the Democrat ticket for the U.S. Senate office, former congressman Baron Hill received 502,933 votes in Indiana. Of those, 2,626 came from Scott County.
Contests in Congressional Districts 6 and 9 garnered local interest in both parties.
Democrat Danny Basham, Lexington Township Trustee, threw his hat in the ring early and worked hard. He made a good impression on Scott County voters, who gave him 64% of the votes cast for 789 total and a local win. District-wide, however, candidate Barry Welsh won with a total of 14,402 votes, though he only got 161 votes out of Scott County.
Complete local Democrat results for District 6 in the county and then district-wide were: Basham, 789/9,892; George T. Holland, 172/7,689; Bruce W. Peavler, 65/4,472; Ralph Spelbring, 40/3,096; and Welsh, 161/14,402.
For Republicans, incumbent D6 Congressman Luke Messer will be their fall nominee. Those results showed Messer getting 603 votes in the county and 79,623 District-wide. Candidates Charles Johnson Jr. and Jeff Smith received 209 and 213 local votes, respectively, and 10,197 and 13,071 District-wide.
In District 9, local Democrats agreed with fellow Dems district-wide that Shelli Yoder was their candidate. Those results locally and then district-wide were: Bob Kern, 178/7,214; James R. McClure Jr., 123/6,464; Bill Thomas, 119/4,926; and Yoder, 917/43,571.
Local Republicans supported a hometown girl, Erin Mount Houchen, in the District 9 race, giving her a local win, but Houchen lost to Trey Hollingsworth, a Jeffersonville businessman district-wide 30,090 to 40,269.
Complete results reflecting local, then District results were: Robert Hall, 103/7,944; Hollingsworth, 533/40,269; Houchin, 592/30,090; Brent Waltz, 75/15,669; and Greg Zoeller, 282/26,247.
In Indiana's Governor race, Democrat John Gregg got 2,468 votes from Scott County and a total statewide of 533,753. Republican incumbent Michael Pence received 2,320 votes locally and 796,042 statewide.
In the District 66 election, Democrat incumbent Terry Goodin received 2,931 votes in Scott County and 6,284 votes district-wide. Republican Joe Van Wye received 2,075 votes in Scott County, and a total of 6,436 district-wide.
A note of interest: Third party candidates can still be added to the statewide ballot for the November 1 General Election. They have until June 30 to qualify and register. Write-in candidates can be added as late as July 5.

Kim Kardashian West and her husband Kanye West have left Ireland on May 29, 2014, by private jet. Radar Online reports that they took along a bag of lucky shamrocks to dry and preserve as a memento.
They allegedly had a wonderful honeymoon, doing some fun things. On Wednesday, they went of the Ballyhoura Bike Tour. Fermal Somers told Radar Online that they received a call alerting them that six VIPs wanted to do some biking on the trails. So, at 8 a.m., Kim, Kanye, and four others rented bikes and hired a tour guide to explore the mountains and wildlife.
Fermal said, "They were in total awe about the wildlife. They hadn't experienced that before and how the trails were situated in the environment and how sustainable it was around the infrastructure. There was no sign of harm given the surrounding commercialism. They were in awe at the beauty of the whole area.
Kim and Kanye allegedly never have done much biking. According to Fermal, they were going around a bend too fast and took a tumble. Luckily, they landed in a wet spot, which cushioned their fall. Their clothes became muddy and wet, but they took it in stride and laughed about it.
When they came to the shamrock fields, they tried to find leprechauns and four-leaf clovers, but both were illusive to the newlyweds. However, the couple did see birds, mountain hares, foxes, a swarm of honey bees, six different species of butterflies and a young doe and her calf, while on the bike tour.

National Champions Tees On Sale
March 11
Hey there, Bear fans!
As the season starts approaching the end we all can FINALLY start to catch our breath. We haven't caught up since the Bears returned from Hawaii, and we've gotten to do a lot of great things since then. Here's a little recap:
Spring dual meets are always exciting, energizing and fun with a lot of fast races with our Pac-12 opponents. This year we got to travel to Arizona to race the University of Arizona and Arizona State, and as well, we hosted USC and UCLA in good old Spieker pool. Being able to travel and see other college campuses is fun, but nothing beats the energy of a home crowd! Hands down the most exciting meet this spring, in my opinion, was our final meet against Stanford at home. Not only did we have hundreds of spirited supporters there cheering, but the band came to play which made the atmosphere that much more energizing. The meet resulted in a win for the Golden Bears, which was only the second home win over Stanford the team has ever seen...putting the cherry on top of an AMAZING senior day for our one and only senior, Caitlin Leverenz. A huge thank you goes to this incredible girl who has made a strong impact on our team from everything to her contagious laughter to her fierce racing - we love you, Caitlin!
Last week we all packed up and headed to Federal Way, Wash., for the Pac-12 Conference Championships. This is by far my favorite part of the season because I get to see hard work paying off and people achieving things they may have only dreamed of. Across the board we had an amazing meet with numerous lifetime best times, inspiring races (hey there, Rachael Acker!) and a ton of spirit and energy. Thanks to all the supporters and parents who came to cheer us on; hearing a big "GO BEARS" from the stands before every race never gets old.
Now it's time for some much needed recovery and catching up on schoolwork before heading to Indy for NCAAs. We have 13 speedy Bears representing Cal at the meet, so be sure to follow the results and help cheer them on! As always, thank you for your generous support, and GO BEARS!
- Eva
P.S. Shout out to the Cal Men's Swim & Dive team for winning Pac-12s and ending Stanford's 31-year streak! Way to go, Bears!
Jan. 16
So far Hawaii has been a blast with great training, tanning and adventures. Since we left off with Melanie, we have been back to some tough training in the ocean and the pool. On Monday we had a change of pace with some rather intense rain instead of the lovely weather we had been enjoying for the previous few days.
However, the weather turned around in time for our special team dinner at the Outrigger Club so graciously provided by Steve Metter, a very successful Cal grad who connected with our team last year and has provided a beautiful and delicious dinner for our team for the past two Hawaii trips. Everyone dressed up to look their best for a night of great food and friends. While Steve is very generous with our team, he also shares his generosity with those less fortunate and makes it a point for himself and his company to enact random acts of kindness by giving to others. This inspired our team last year to also give random acts of kindness and will remain with us when we return back to Berkeley.
Today it was a beautiful, sunny day. Since we had the afternoon off we got to enjoy the sun - perhaps a little too much judging by many of our almost third-degree sunburns! A group of us, including myself, stayed at Waikiki and went surfing and paddle boarding and laid on the beach. Another group went to Makapu'u Beach to enjoy another beautiful beach of Hawaii.
Later today our team got together and did a group karaoke activity at a local karaoke place in Hawaii. Some of the most notable renditions were Liz Pelton's and Alicia Grima's performance of "Milkshake," Melissa Bates' and Melanie Klaren's rap of "The Motto," and the freshman class singing "Get Low." Everyone had a great time singing along and watching each other let loose with the microphone.
Until next time - Go Bears!

With about half of our 2013 Hawaii Training Trip behind us, the Golden Bears are feeling rejuvenated, excited, but most of all, tan! This training trip has been an amazing experience with some awesome memories and good times in the books. We've put in some really tough (although non-traditional) training in, and we have learned a lot about our bodies, teammates, coaches and ourselves. These past couple of days have been even more incredible as we have gotten to branch out past Waikiki Beach and go snorkeling, hiking, surfing and paddle boarding.
This past weekend has probably been my favorite part of the trip so far. It all started with a tough practice on Saturday morning in the pool, followed by a clinic that we put on for some of the local swim clubs around here. I was a part of the backstroke group, and we had a great time working with the kids. The clinic finished with a short relay meet with some the young swimmers and an AMAZING lunch provided by the families on the island. The amount of food was unreal, and we all left the pool with happy stomachs. After the clinic, we had the whole day off and I was part of a group that decided to go hiking up Diamond Head. The views were incredible, and if you are ever in Honolulu, I highly suggest you try this hike out! (Though beware if you are afraid of heights like our one and only Casey Mims!)
One of the best treats Teri gave us on this trip was all day Sunday off! The whole team took advantage of this and got out of Waikiki and ventured to North Shore (after a very filling breakfast at Mac 24/7, where we were served the largest pancakes I have ever seen!). The waves at North Shore were a little more tame than usual, and the team got to swim out in the ocean, ride some waves and catch some rays! Everyone finished the trip off with a Hawaiian Shaved Ice courtesy of Matsumoto's, and it was honestly the best shaved ice ever! Heading into this last half of the trip, I can't believe my second training trip as a Golden Bear is almost over. It has absolutely flown by, and I cannot wait to see what the rest of this Hawaiian trip has in store!
Until next time,
Jan. 11, 2013
Aloha, Bear Fans!
It's that time of year again - Hawaii time! The Golden Bears landed in Oahu on Wednesday to start our holiday training trip in the sun. Berkeley is nice, but the warm sandy beaches of Waikiki have been calling, and we finally made it! This week gives us plenty of time for tough training, team bonding, and (of course!) tanning.
We got off to a great start with our first pair of practices today. It was tough, but judging by the work done today, it's going to be a great week! What's great is that after workout is done we get a nice afternoon nap...on the beach. So no complaints here! We have an amazing group of women with us, and I am excited to see the progress we will make together in the next few days.
As for the rest of the week, we'll be swimming, tanning, surfing, paddle-boarding, hiking and growing even closer as a team. Check back for updates as the Bears take over Hawaii!
Mahalo, and GO BEARS!
- Eva
Recapping Long Beach
Nov. 29
When we last checked in with Eva we had just come off a few exciting and successful dual meets! However the racing didn't stop there as we headed to Long Beach for the Arena Invitational where we competed against many different West Coast teams. This was an exciting opportunity for us to race at a meet with an NCAA racing format, instead of the dual meet format we had at the past few meets. It was also a prelim and final meet, and we got to wear Aquablades for finals (Bears in Blades)!
Because we were in Southern California we went back to the ocean for some ocean swimming before the prelims sessions on Thursday and Friday. Luckily there weren't any stingrays this year, and we even got some good waves on Friday! Warming up in the ocean presented opportunities to learn and try something new before racing. While it was challenging to race after being in the ocean it was a great learning experience and was a lot of fun.
As a whole the Bears had a very successful meet with many event winners and season-best or personal-best times. Caitlin Leverenz won the 200 IM and 400 IM; Rachel Bootsma won the 100 backstroke, Elizabeth Pelton won the 200 backstroke, and the Bears won the 400 medley relay, 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay. We raced well and had a great time competing.
Last week most of us got to go home and enjoy some rest and relaxation with our families and celebrate Thanksgiving. It was great to get some down time and see family and friends for a few days. This week we head to Georgia for the Georgia Invitational. This is our last meet before we begin our championship season, so look for some fast swimming from the Bears in Georgia as we close out 2012! Until next time!
Go Bears!

On a Busy Early November
Nov. 14
Hello again! The past two weeks have felt like the busiest two weeks of my life - seriously. From meets to games to ceremonies it seems like we've done it all. We even got to go to the "Big Game" against Stanford! Usually this game falls on the same weekend we are in Long Beach for the Arena Invite, but with a bit of luck we got to go cheer on our Bears this year!
After a week of tough training, we packed up and headed to Provo and Salt Lake to race BYU and Utah. These meets presented a huge challenge: altitude. Adjusting to the different environment was difficult, but it gave us a great opportunity to step up, and race (in the words of Taylor Nanfria, "challenge accepted"). Plus, watching the Giants in the World Series energized the team!
No time for rest - less than a week after returning from beautiful Utah, we were presented with two more challenges...Texas and Wisconsin. Even though we were a little tired and worn down, I must say, the energy we brought to these meets was amazing. We were ready to race and defend our home pool. The stands were full and we fed off the energy of the crowd and the beautiful weather. The first meet against Texas was full of close races, nail-biting finishes, exciting relays and, finally, a team win for the Golden Bears! Racing like this reminds me why I love my sport! The next day we swam against Wisconsin with the men, which created a fun and exciting environment.
That weekend we also had our ring ceremony to receive our 2011-2012 season NCAA Championship rings. Teri spoke, we recognized people who helped us along the way, and each member of the 2011-2012 team presented a ring to one of her teammates. We all opened them up at the same time and I think our collective "AHH!!" could be heard all the way across the Bay. The rings are truly beautiful and I am grateful to be a part of such an amazing team!
Our weekend concluded with the Aquatics Gala. The current aquatics athletes served, greeted, and mingled with several generations of former Bears, and countless Cal Aquatics supporters. It was truly moving seeing how many people generously support what we do and want to see us be successful. It was a long night, but we all had fun hanging out together!
And there goes October. Time to go catch up on sleep - I think we've all deserved it.
Fresno and Beach/Pool Swimming
Oct. 24
When we last checked in with Casey Mims, our team had the opportunity to take a "Free Fall Weekend" and enjoy some time away from the pool. After that much needed break, it was back to a week of some good practices and hard work before we headed off to Fresno. The Early Bird Invitational, which took place at Fresno State and their beautiful new pool, was a challenging meet, both physically and mentally, and we really took away some good racing and lessons from the weekend.
The meet started off with the bus ride down to Fresno where the team watched the movie, "The Help," did some homework, and listened to the brand new Ellie Goulding CD (or at least Melissa Bates and I did)! The meet started Friday night and was formatted with three sessions, like a championship meet, condensed into two days. There were some definite high points of the weekend, particularly freshman Elizabeth Pelton, who won several events and stepped up as a racer for the team. The team really stood behind every person with a "Cal" cap on and cheered loud for each competitor, especially our lone miler, Taylor Nanfria. We ended the meet victoriously, and the bus ride home on Saturday afternoon consisted of another movie, "Secondhand Lions," some serious napping, and even more homework!
The next day, we all caravanned to Aptos State Beach and did some ocean swimming mixed with pool swimming at Cabrillo College. The dual environments were filled with high energy, and we were asked to step out of our usual comfort zones. Some braved the ocean without any wet suits, and another seal was out to play right by where we were swimming. Our next racing situation, and our dual meet season opener, will be in Utah this week where we will take on Brigham Young University in Provo and The University of Utah in Salt Lake City. I am personally looking forward to the start of the dual meets and making some great memories with my teammates in Utah. Until next time...

Free Fall
Oct. 11
Hey Cal Fans!
My name is Casey Mims, and I will be one of three bloggers - along with Melanie Klaren and Eva Greene - who get to share with you a peek into Cal women's swimming and diving! After an exciting National Championship celebratory week, it was back to work for a very demanding but extremely rewarding week of training. We were challenged both mentally and physically inside and outside of the pool with swimming workouts, spin class, dance and weights. October is the time to get in some good training before we start racing later this month!
As a reward for all our hard work, we had what we like to call a "Free Fall" weekend, starting after practice on Saturday and continuing all day Monday. Free Fall is when we get a few days off for ourselves so that we can recharge and come back reenergized for the next week. We can go home and visit family, maybe take a small road trip somewhere, or just relax with friends and refill our spirits. I had a great weekend relaxing with my teammates, shopping and enjoying the fact that Cal football beat UCLA! Go Bears!!
As we continue on to this next week, we have our first invitational coming up on Friday and Saturday at Fresno State. It will be exciting to race in the midst of tough training and see where we are as a team and as individuals. It will also be fun to spend time with the team and enjoy each other's presence in a new environment. After the meet, we have the opportunity to swim at the beach on Sunday! It can be hard to find time to get to the ocean, so it is refreshing to be able to get another chance so early in the season - especially when the water is still relatively warm!
As you can see we have a lot going on and a lot to look forward to! That's all for now - until next time. Go Bears!!

National Championship Week
Oct. 5, 2012
Hey Cal fans!
My name is Eva Greene, and I'm excited to be documenting the year with my fellow classmates Melanie and Casey! When we last caught up with Melanie, we had just returned from an exciting weekend at Pismo Beach, and the fun continued through the following week. We were able to set aside the stress of midterm season and celebrate our team successes during National Championship Week! This week-long celebration is an annual event aimed to honor the many Bears who have earned the title of being a national champion. Cal honored eight individual, four relay, and two team national champions, and Cal swim and dive won all but one of these championships...not too shabby!
A highlight of the week was the lovely ceremony we had at Chancellor Robert Birgeneau's house on Friday evening. This was a time for us all to put away our work out clothes and put on something a little more fancy. It's always fun seeing everyone dressed up...we clean up so nicely! After enjoying some tasty desserts and the company of teammates, we were graciously honored by the Chancellor himself. Hearing so many people praise and appreciate what we do in and out of the pool reminds me why I love being a Bear! Hard work really does pay off.
The most exciting treat of the week was being recognized on the field during halftime at the Cal vs. ASU football game. There was so much energy in the stadium as we walked onto the field, and we even appeared on the JumboTrons! Even walking back to our seats was exciting as tons of Cal fans gave high-fives and cheered, "Go Bears!" as we passed by.
This past week was an awesome time to bond as a team and remember all of our amazing accomplishments. As for now, it's back to work with midterms, training, weights, spin, dance... which means hello naps and ice baths. October here we come!

Fall Training, Queen of the Pool and Pismo Beach
Sept. 28, 2012
Hey Cal fans!
My name is Melanie Klaren, and I will be taking over the "Between the Lanes" blog this year, along with my fellow sophomores Eva Greene and Casey Mims! This year has already been off to an amazing start, and I know it is going to be the best one yet. One of the coolest things about beginning a new year is the brand new team and the amazing freshmen that come with it. I can honestly say that this year's freshmen are some of the most mature, talented and just downright amazing women I have had the opportunity to meet. During the early weeks of being back on campus, our team got to go to "Color Me Mine" and paint some pottery; not for ourselves, but for another girl on the team! This allowed us to become closer and really put thought into what we were making. We followed this with an overnight stay at The Marin Headlands where we ate some DELICIOUS food, saw some amazing sights and really bonded as a team and family.
After some early team-bonding activities and trips, fall training officially began. While the September/October months are usually the most grueling, as a team we have thrived during these early tough practices and really put in some quality work. Our first test in a racing situation was this past weekend at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. The "King and Queen of the Pool" is always an exciting first meet where we have the opportunity to showcase all of our strokes by competing in a 100-yard race in each of them: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and an individual medley. Freshman Rachel Bootsma was victorious this year, just beating out Caitlin Leverenz and Elizabeth Pelton for the title.
Besides racing at Cal Poly in the "King and Queen of the Pool" and getting to compete on some awesome co-ed relays with our men's team, the women's team got to stay in some beautiful beach homes down in Pismo Beach and experience some ocean swimming. The houses allowed for a less formal environment where teammates cooked and lived together in large groups, as opposed to staying in a hotel. Personally, my favorite part of the ocean swimming was a surprise from some curious seals who popped up near the pier where we were swimming.
With some midterms and papers coming up in the next couple of weeks, we are all looking forward to National Championship Week as a time to reflect on our past successes and look forward to our future ones! Although it is one of the most trying times during the year, fall is the best time to put in some hard work, bond with your teammates and enjoy the beautiful Berkeley weather. Until next time, GO BEARS!

We love Steele Divitto. Not just the kid–who although he lives in Connecticut–went to Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J. and can be included in the Jerseyguy universe.
But when you take the name and say Strong Side Linebacker, which the 6-foot-3 inch 245 pound Divitto will be playing for Boston College when it opens its season on Sept. 1 against Miami at Alumni Stadium, you can have even more fun.
But let's get back to the name. Steele. Made for football, right? Must be some story behind this, right?
Well, there is. It seems that Divitto's mother Rosemary is a Danielle Steel fan, the rich and famous author of American romance novels.
Oh, well. Back to football and BC football and what it will be like without the presence of two-time All American, Butkus Award winning LB Luke Kuechly, who was a first round pick of the Carolina Panthers last spring,
""It's more about a group this year than any individual," said Divitto between two-a-day sessions on Friday morning. "Last year we had one guy (Kuechly) flying around covering up everyone's mistakes. This year we don't have that luxury. We have to play smarter. We have to play together."
The group will include Divitto, Sean Duggan, Kevin Pierrre-Louis, Nick Clancy and freshman Steve Daniels as the epicenter of a defense that is still adjusting to new faces and positions in front and behind them on the defensive line and backfield.
"We are the core group and we have to perform well," said Divitto, who has bulked up from the 235 pounds he played at last season. "We certainly have enough energy. No one is feeling sorry for themselves about what happened last year (4-8 record).
"The Miami game is looming," conceded Divitto. "They have been on our mind since we walked off the field last season (with a win over the Hurricanes). The Miami game is huge for us. We've been working towards it all during camp. It's going to build up until we get into game week."
Divitto says he will be ready.
Can't wait.
Eagles will have two more scrimmages during training camp. Sunday and Wednesday. They will break camp following the last scrimmage, take some time off and then really get into Miami preparation.

Carpet Removal Tools
Carpet Stain Removal
Commercial Carpet Removal
Top 10 Carpet Removal Tips
Carpet Removal Tools that Get the Job Done
Carpet removal is one of those household tasks that most people pay others to do for thembut they really dont have to. With the right carpet removal tools, any homeowner can remove his or her carpet. Most of the tools youll need can be found at any hardware store and may include the following:
Lockjaws are heavy clamps that attach to the end of a carpet strip. There are handles attached to the clamp that allow you to pull the carpet strip backward without stressing your back.
Floor Scraper
Floor scrapers are really for after the carpet has been pulled up and you have to deal with what was under it. That might include padding, glue, or other materials that were laid down before the carpet was. This is often the most challenging part of carpet removal, but with a hand-held, electric, or riding scraper, you can get the job done quickly.
Spud Bar
A spud bar has a long handle and a head at the end with either a thin blade or serrated teeth. It is used for prying thingsin this case, for prying carpet away from the wall, even when it is firmly tacked down. Once you pry it up with a spud bar, you can grab it with a lockjaw or with your hands.
Double-Edged Utility Knife
Carpet needs to be cut into manageable strips in order to pull it up from the floor, and this is usually
very hard on the knife. Using a double-edged knife will make your blades last twice as long, so you only have to stop and change them half as often.
Needle-Nosed Pliers
Carpet installers often use heavy staples to hold down the carpet in the middle of the room. A pair of needle nosed pliers can help pull those up when you get to them. Another helpful piece of equipment in dealing with staples is simply the claw end of a hammer.
Pry Bar or Flathead Screwdriver
These are for removing the tacking strips all around the border of the room. Slide the flat end of the pry bar or screwdriver under the strip until youve created some space, then turn the lever or raise it to pull the tacking strip out of the floor. If it still gives you trouble, the claw end of a hammer may be helpful in pulling it up.
Work Gloves
Carpet removal requires dealing with nails, tacking, staples, and sharp tools. Its important to be attentive to your own safety when removing carpet, because a misplaced hand or foot can result in injury. Wearing sturdy work gloves will help keep your job pain free.
Removing carpet is a serious job, in part because it will affect how your new carpet will look when it is installed. When its your home and your future comfort at stake, its worth buying or renting the carpet removal tools you need to get the job done efficiently and properly.

For the week of
December 07, 2012
- carolinajournal.com
Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — Cecil Pearson's daughter Darlene told
him she voted for Barack Obama for president. President of what? Cecil
says Darlene couldn't tell you. Darlene, 40, is developmentally disabled
and functions cognitively at about the level of a 7-year old. She lives
in a group home with five other adult women in Roanoke Rapids.
"I was shocked when I learned she had voted," Pearson told Carolina Journal.
"She has never voted. My wife and I became her legal guardians in 1996
to prevent exploitation like this. We were not consulted. She is not
capable of making an informed choice, and as her guardians we would not
have approved it."
Pearson said his daughter registered to vote at a Division of Motor
Vehicles office in 1995 when staff at her group home took her to get a
photo identification card. North Carolina Board of Elections records
confirm that she registered in 1995, but the first vote she cast was
Nov. 2 of this year. Cecil said he learned Darlene voted when he picked
her up for a visit later the same day and she told him.
A series of CJ reports have unearthed organized efforts to
register patients in state facilities for the mentally ill and
developmentally disabled, and to assist them in voting. Advocates for
the disabled contend these efforts are legal, but there appears to be
some confusion involving state laws that govern voting rights. Cecil
Pearson's concerns reveal additional ambiguities in the legal boundaries
between patients, guardians, and public officials regarding voting
rights of the mentally and developmentally disabled in group homes and
other private facilities.
CJ: Unemployment reforms would raise taxes, cut benefitsRALEIGH — Laid-off workers would see their
benefits decreased and about 30 percent of the state's businesses would
see their unemployment insurance taxes increased under a proposal
presented Wednesday to a legislative study panel.
CJ: Consultants can skew Medicaid spendingRALEIGH — There is a "dirty little secret" among
consultants who assess health care spending. They can make cost savings
for Medicaid programs such as North Carolina's showcase Community Care
of North Carolina a moving target to reach whatever conclusions the
hiring agency wants, experts in the field say.
CJ: Court says citizens do not have right to carry concealed weaponsRALEIGH — Though the U.S. Supreme Court has
recognized the right of individual citizens to possess firearms under
the Second Amendment, the N.C. Court of Appeals says this right does not
cover concealed weapons. North Carolina is not the only state to reach
this conclusion.
CJ: Immigration committee makes few recommendationsRALEIGH — A special legislative committee set up
to look at the state's role in immigration policy is telling the
federal government to do its job, and not much more. The committee on
Thursday adopted its official report to the 2013 General Assembly. No
recommendations for state legislative actions were forthcoming.
CJ: Food trucks still not free of restaurant tiesRALEIGH — Five months after state lawmakers
passed a law freeing food truck owners from a regulation that required
them to rent space in a restaurant or commissary, no food truck operator
has taken advantage of it.

DRI researchers awarded prestigious Benjamin Y.H. Liu Award from the AAAR
FOR IMMEDATE RELEASE: October 18, 2013
DRI researchers awarded prestigious Benjamin Y.H. Liu Award from the AAAR
At its recent annual meeting the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR), a nonprofit professional organization for scientists and engineers who wish to promote and communicate technical advances in the field of aerosol research, awarded two research professors from the Desert Research Institute (DRI) with the Benjamin Y.H. Liu Award.
Drs. Patrick Arnott and Hans Moosmüller, both research professors in the institute's atmospheric sciences department, were joint recipients of the 2013 award.
"While each of these scientists has made significant impacts in their own right, it is fitting to recognize their longstanding and fruitful collaborations via a joint nomination," said Sonia Kreidenweis, a professor of atmosphere science at Colorado State University, who nominated the two outstanding scientists. "They have built a substantial program based on their instrument development skills, multiple research directions, widespread collaborations, communication skills, and mentoring of students many of whom have become their collaborators."
The Benjamin Y. H. Liu Award recognizes outstanding contributions to aerosol instrumentation and experimental techniques that have significantly advanced the science and technology of aerosols.
Drs. Arnott and Moosmüller began their collaboration in instrument development at DRI more than 20 years ago. Their combined contributions to aerosol optics instrumentation and experimental techniques have significantly advanced the science and technology of aerosols, including major contributions to our understanding of the role of atmospheric aerosols in climate change, air quality, and other aspects of atmospheric physics and chemistry.
Their success can be directly related to development of instrumentation for measurements of aerosol optical and physical properties, which have been used to improve understanding of aerosol characteristics and address practical air pollution and visibility problems.
Moosmüller, who has also participated in the planning, fieldwork, and data analysis of several major air quality studies at DRI, was also recently awarded the 2012 Nevada Regents' Researcher award which is the Nevada System of Higher Education's top research faculty research award. This award is bestowed each year upon only one faculty member from among the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, University of Nevada, Reno and DRI.
