The events are an opportunity for the college teams to see up close, what it means to compete on the national team- and for fans to gain a better appreciation for the marked difference between the college and internationl levels of volleyball.
No. 1 Penn State defeated the National Team 3-0, but USA responded by winning matches at Kansas State, Nebraska and Michigan State. The USA National Team finished second at the NORCECA zone championships in Puerto Rico after losing to Cuba. (See other pages in this release for more information).

Putnam registered six kills in the first game, seven in the second, erupted for 11 in the third, five in the fourth and three in the fifth.
"She was outstanding," Tech head coach Jeff Nelson said. "She played awesome, fantastic on the front row. She couldn't have played any better. I told her to keep swinging and swinging and swinging."

Updated statistics, game-by-game and notes on senior middle blocker Brande Brown, junior setter Lisa Hilgers and junior outside hitter Angela Cooper are available at the Texas Tech Athletics website at www.texastech.com. Click on the "All-Star selections" on the right box of your screen to access the information.
Senior Cristine Martin is eligible to compete after awaiting an NCAA decision which granted her a fifth year of volleyball eligibility. She was denied by the NCAA in her first attempt to compete, but a stronger second appeal was approved by the NCAA. Martin was allowed to practice beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 9. Martin played in seven matches and 16 games as a freshman after sustaining a knee injury and undergoing two arthroscopic surgeries. The Big XII Conference supported her 100 percent in her attempt to begin a fifth season. Martin, who currently holds Red Raider records for season service aces and career service aces, will now be able to build upon those records. She has been keeping in shape by practicing with the team until the decision was finalized Tuesday.
Senior Brande Brown returns to the squad for her fourth year of eligibility. Brown could have received her degree and moved on, but decided to return for her final year. She is also a former two-sport Tech athlete (track and field). Brown set an NCAA record earlier in the season with a perfect 1.000 hitting percentage (10-0-10) vs. William & Mary. That record should be included in the NCAA recordbooks for years to come.
Texas Tech recordholder and Academic All-American Jill Burness, along with Lacy Nye and Courtney Thames will not return to the 1997 volleyball squad. Who will fill their leadership roles on the team and what did the team gain from their losses (if anything)?
Junior setter, two-year starter, assists recordholder and squad co-captain Lisa Hilgers returns to Tech volleyball with some new, unfamiliar faces surrounding her. Earlier this season, Hilgers broke the all-time Texas Tech record for career assists and she still has a year of eligibility remaining.
Setter Lisa Hilgers has accomplished some outstanding feats in her short two-year career. It's amazing considering she's only 5-6- one of the smallest starting setters in the nation. Hilgers already holds records for career, season, game and average assists per game and will challenge school records for digs, matches played and games played. Head coach Jeff Nelson has been quoted many times referring to the fact that Hilgers is the one who led them to two consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances (as a freshman also).
Coach Jeff Nelson expects sophomore Courtney Putnam to contribute in a big way this year with the loss of Burness as the team's top attacker. But only 12 months ago after seeing how good the other players were, Putnam was saying that she didn't deserve a scholarship. "If Jeff wants my scholarship back, he can have it because I know I'm not good enough," she said. Since then, the ultra-athletic Putnam has improved drastically and even led the team in kills through its summer competitions. Redshirt freshman Janelle Jones, who earned the team's most improved player award at last year's banquet, is also much improved and will help with the loss of Burness.
There's no doubt about it, 1996 Most Improved Player and redshirt freshman Janelle Jones definitely has some ups! At preseason testing, Jones reached and jumped 10-feet-four inches. With that type of reach, Jones should easily be able to dunk a basketball. Even though she says that she's never tried to dunk a basketball or a volleyball for that matter, she may only be one of three women on the Texas Tech campus to have the ability to dunk. Jones is also the tallest player ever in Texas Tech volleyball history at 6-foot-3 inches tall.
The 1997 Texas Tech volleyball team is youthful as it welcomes eight newcomers (two transfers and six freshmen). Coming from their diverse backgrounds and from all over the country, how do they view Texas Tech in their first few days of practice? The incoming Red Raiders represent six states including Texas (3), Arizona (1), New Mexico (1), Minnesota (1), Missouri (1) and Oklahoma (1). Two are transfer students in junior Natalie Rives (Samford) and sophomore Elizabeth Hamilton (South Carolina Aiken).
Head Coach Jeff Nelson is one of the most successful volleyball coaches ever in his first two years- and he's only getting started. He turned the Texas Tech program into a winner and has made it one of the most successful programs throughout the nation and tough Big XII Conference. But that is only his short-term goal. His long-term goal is to make the Red Raiders contenders for the national title year-in, year-out. His Red Raiders may be even closer to achieving that goal than he thinks. In addition, Nelson has contribute d to the rise of volleyball in Lubbock and has helped generate interest on the high school level.
The Tech volleyball team travelled to Itay over the summer to prepare for the 1997 season, compete against Italian squads and tour the sites. Tour stops included visits to London, Pisa, Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence and other cities. Read Coach Jeff Nelson's diary of the trip on the internet at www.texastech.com. How has that experience helped the team and how will that translate to success in the new season?
Junior Kristen Holmes is in her third year on the Texas Tech volleyball team and was selected as a co-captain for the season. But upon entering Texas Tech as a freshman, she wasn't even slated to play volleyball. In fact, while walking down to walk-on for the women's basketball team, Holmes made a stop at then-coach Mike Jones' office to walk-on to the volleyball team. The move paid off as Holmes is one of three returning starters on this year's team and will be expected to provide valuable leadership.
Brown ties NCAA hitting percentage recordBrande Brown tied an NCAA hitting percentage record with a perfect 10-0-10 performance against William & Mary on September 20, 1997. Here is where she stands on the all-time NCAA hitting performance chart: Note- these records reflect records from the 1995 season and not the 1996 season. The 1997 NCAA guide is not completed.

Texas Tech volleyball team slated to play USA National TeamRed Raiders to host USA Volleyball National Team on October 27 in Lubbock Municipal Coliseum
The planning is over and the dates and times are set. The Texas Tech volleyball team will host the USA National Team in an exhibition match Monday, October 27 in Lubbock Municipal Coliseum beginning at 7:00 p.m. The USA National Team, consisting of the United States' top players, is planning a national competition exhibition tour with matches against the nation's top collegiate volleyball programs. Texas Tech, currently undefeated at 7-0 with two tournament titles on the young season, was among the initial 12 schools selected for competition.
"We're extremely excited to have the opportunity to play the best volleyball players in the country," Texas Tech head coach Jeff Nelson said. "It's also a tremendous opportunity for the younger players at the elementary, junior high and high school levels to see the best players in the nation showcased against our own team. To have the opportunity to expose the Lubbock community to the best level of volleyball is really exciting."
The USA National Team is making preparations to play its 12-match tour against 12 of the top collegiate programs in the nation including Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Washington, Colorado State and Washington State, along with Big XII Conference schools Texas Tech, Nebraska, Kansas State, Texas, Colorado and Texas A&M. The Texas Tech match will be one of the final contests on the tour.
With the addition of the USA National Team, the Red Raiders' schedule looks even more difficult. The USA National Team will catch Tech in the middle of the Big XII Conference schedule as the Red Raiders will face nationally ranked teams Colorado and Nebraska on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 24 and 25 respectively, then play the USA National Team on Monday, Oct. 27. On the following weekend, Tech will play Kansas State, a volleyball program normally ranked in the top 25. Following a home match against Kansas, Tech will travel to Texas and Texas A&M for matches with two more nationally ranked programs.
Admission for the exhibition match on Oct. 27 will be $5.00, general admission.

Development proposes retail, housing at Mequon Town Center
Plan could also include razing Legion Post
Mequon - The third time might be the charm for the redevelopment of several properties in the Mequon Town Center.
Blair Williams, president of WiRED Properties, consulted with the Plan Commission on Monday night on a redevelopment concept for two houses owned by Shaffer Development at 11215 and 11229 N. Cedarburg Road and a vacant city-owned lot between the northernmost house and City Hall.
Beginning in 2007, Cindy Shaffer brought plans for the site to the commission but the economic downturn effectively stopped planning for the site.
The latest plan for the site would be a two-phased development with the first phase including the two houses and city land. The American Legion Post, 6006 W. Mequon Road, would be redeveloped in a second phase. Because of the Legion building's historic status, the Landmarks Commission would have to approve its demolition.
Retail and housing proposed
Williams told the commission that the first phase could stand on its own. Under discussion is a mixed use, three-and-half story building that would face Cedarburg Road. Williams said between 8,000 to 11,000 square feet of first floor of the building would be dedicated to retail or office use, with 20 to 25 apartments on the upper floors.
Surface retail parking would be accessed from an entrance on Cedarburg Road, which would require a median cut on the street to allow access for northbound vehicles.
The underground residential parking would be accessed through the City Hall parking lot off Cedarburg Road.
Williams said Cindy Shaffer, owner of Shaffer Development, is discussing the Legion property with its owner. Currently, the proposal for that site calls for a commercial building of about 14,000 square feet. The discussions include having the Legion post as a tenant in the new space.
The project would require the city land, access from Cedarburg Road and tax-incremental financing district assistance. The project would likely be eligible for TIF incentive plan assistance. Williams said it would help bridge an anticipated gap in financing.
WiRED Properties has redeveloped two major areas on North Oakland Avenue in Shorewood. The Cornerstone property, which has retail on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors, was completed more than a year ago. A similar development, The Ravenna, is under construction across the street.
New retail sites in demand
Williams said he believes there is "significant untapped demand for new multifamily construction and a desire for new retail" in Mequon. Although he did not name any businesses, he said he has had conversations with a bar/restaurant owner and the owner of a café. Both are interested in the retail space available in the first phase of the project.
The Plan Commission indicated support for the concept and will see architectural and site plans at a later date.
Before the plan would come back to the commission, Director of Community Development Kim Tollefson said the finalized concept would go to the Economic Development Board for a discussion about the sale of the city-owned property and the TIF incentive program.
Tollefson said the plan "advances the spirit and intent of the Town Center" and has staff support.

Near the end of a researcher's career, it behooves him or her to retrace the track he or she has followed and to state what he or she considers major accomplishments. My career started in 1936 as a Junior Forester (P-1) on the Ouachita National Forest. I spent two years there marking and scaling on several virgin shortleaf pine timber sales (railroad logged), and also worked on white oak stave sales. Other jobs involved cruising for sales appraisals and management plan revisions, and administrative assistant ranger chores.
My transfer to the Ozark National Forest on the supervisors' staff as timber
management assistant (ultimately promoted to assistant forester (P-2)) lasted
three years and gave me more experience in large white oak sales and appraisals,
as well as working with other hardwoods and medium-sized shortleaf pines. In
September of 1941, I enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve (V-7) and after nearly
four months' schooling was commissioned ensign and spent three months training
in torpedoes. I helped put the newly commissioned destroyer U.S.S. Caldwell in
commission in June 1942 and fought the rest of WWII in the Aleutians and the
SouthPacific as gunnery officer on U.S.S. Caldwell and a second newly
commissioned destroyer, the U.S.S. Rowan. I was promoted to LCDR in 1946 and
Upon return to USFS Region 8 in January 1946 after three months on several details to assist in management plan revisions, I was assigned to the supervisor's staff of the Florida National Forests as associate forester (P-3). There, I was responsible for probably the last naval store's appraisal on any National Forest in the US. Other jobs involved appraising timber in the deep swamps and sand pine on dry sandy hills.
In October of 1946, I accepted a promotion to silviculturalist (P-4) and a transfer to the Southern Forest Experiment Station in New Orleans, where I remained for 14 years (promoted to GS-12 in 1950). In 1951 I was promoted to Division Chief (GS-13) of Forest Management Research, Forest Genetics Research, Forest Fire Research, Forest Pathology Research and Watershed Management Research. In 1958 my grade was raised to GS-14.
I was promoted to Research Forester (GS-15) in December 1960, and transferred to head up a Pioneering Research Unit (the first of such units in the USFS). The scope of the research was broad-forest mensuration. I reported directly to the deputy chief of the USFS in charge of research. The headquarters of the unit was initially in Berkeley, CA, with its office in the University of California School of Forestry and with fiscal and clerical services furnished by the Pacific Southwest Forest Experiment Station. In 1968, my grade was reclassified to GS-16 and I transferred the headquarters of the Pioneering Unit to Atlanta, Ga. with an office provided by USFS Region 8--which also provided secretarial service for which it was reimbursed. The Southeastern Forest Experiment Station provided fiscal and publication services. I retired June 8, 1974, after more than 37 years of service.
I was later appointed an adjunct professor at the University of Florida's
School of Forest Resources and Conservation in 1977 and gave a number of
lectures and sat on several Masters and PhD committees. The University of
Florida awarded me an honorary Doctor of Science degree in 1986.
I have selected 25 of my total 56 publications as constituting worthwhile contributions to history, mathematics, or forestry (primarily measurement or sample design). They can be classified in three time periods: those that appeared while I was at the Southern Forest Experiment Station; those that appeared while I was a Pioneering Unit in Forestry Mensuration; and those that appeared while I was an adjunct professor at the University of Florida School of Forest Resources and Conservation.

Rita Edmond: Misty
Rita Edmond (vocals)
Sketches of a Dream (T.O.T.I Music 137672513-2)
Rita Edmond (vocals),
Ricky Woodard (tenor sax), Joel Scott (piano), James Leary (bass), Quentin Dennard (drums).
Composed by Erroll Garner & Johnny Burke.
Recorded: Pasadena, CA; released November 2007
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
Despite the 3.7 bazillion recordings of this Erroll Garner classic, I could not immediately recall which one made my memory bells go off so strongly. I'm embarrassed to report that it might have been the comedian John Byner doing an impression of Johnny Mathis. Ooops! Sorry Ella. Sorry Ms. Vaughan. And sorry Mr. Mathis. Actually, I've done a little penance here, making note of yet another beautiful version of the tune. Rita Edmond's voice illuminates the romance of the story with a lot of inner detail and texture. Supported by a very supple band (especially Joel Scott's piano), Edmond makes you realize how great this song is, not diminished in the least by repeated listens and viewpoints.

The list of private collectors and recyclers in California keeps growing; it's approaching 600 and ranges from auction houses to nonprofits.
In addition to California, 18 states have laws on the books that remove the burden of funding e-waste collection and recycling from consumers and places it on the products' manufacturers. In Minnesota, Missouri, and New Jersey, manufacturers pay a fee to help fund collection programs. New York City has a cell-phone recycling bill and landfill ban.
Six states, including Illinois, Massachusetts, and Nebraska, are considering such legislation. Some states are considering legislation that would force manufacturers to accept e-waste.
Whatever the details, such laws are designed to reduce the amount of e-waste in landfills before solid waste agencies get involved.
Solid waste department prosecutes two illegal dumpers in eight months.
Last year, Reading, Pa., spent $265,000 on picking up and carting away old tires, broken appliances, and busted furniture left in vacant lots and woods. Solid Waste and Recycling Program Coordinator Frank Denbowski figured there had to be a better way to identify culprits than conducting 24-hour stakeouts.
So he tried something the police chief recommended: motion-sensitive surveillance cameras.
Seeking a low-maintenance solution, Denbowski installed FlashCAM-880 "vandalism-deterrent" camera systems from Q-Star Technology at a dozen locations throughout the city, which has 82,000 residents. Retailing for about $5,000 each, the solar-powered cameras capture up to 700 high-resolution digital images that he wirelessly downloads to his desktop.
The camera allows users to record a 14-second message — such as "Attention, you are being photographed" — while illuminating up to 100 feet around it with a bright flash. "People are so startled they look up into the camera to try to find out where it is," Denbowski says.
Denbowski moves the cameras around the 10-acre city to keep scofflaws off guard. So in addition to providing irrefutable evidence of wrongdoing, he says, his $60,000 investment is "a very effective prevention tool. Word gets around."

She's set up a Flickr group, FQ8 Paper Piecing Sew Along. Don't worry, if you don't have a Flickr account, she's going to set up a linky party at the end of each month and everyone can add their links to that. Here are some of the projects you might choose from.
So the nitty gritty about the group. This is not a "how-to group" with tutorials. You will need to have your own copy of Fat Quarterly Issue 8 (it's a download so you get to have it straight away!). The group is a place for everyone to support each other through the process of making the projects.
You may wish to concentrate on one particular technique like foundation piecing or freezer paper piecing or English paper piecing or have a go at all three. You may be planning to make every project or just concentrate on one or two, it doesn't matter, everyone is welcome.
Let us know if you're joining in and make sure you also add your pictures to the Fat Quarterly Flickr group so that we can admire your work too!

The Los Angeles Lakers trade rumors have been buzzing for two years know when star forward Pau Gasol is concerned. According to ESPN on Feb. 2, the rumors are starting up again as the Phoenix Suns are looking at possibly trying to put together a trade for Gasol.
The Lakers are in the midst of one of the worst seasons in many years, sitting 15 games under .500 with a 16-31 record. That puts them 10.5 games back from an actual playoff spot this season. That should make the idea that rebuilding might be necessary for the Lakers to improve in the future.
Pau Gasol leads the team in points per game (17), rebounds per game (10.2) and blocks per game (1.5). Trading away the best performer on a team might make the natives restless, but Los Angeles has to do something to heal the bleeding and cutting their 33 year old star might be a necessity.
Kobe Bryant has only played six games this season and his days in the NBA might be numbered and Steve Nash doesn't have much left in his gas tank either.
With the Phoenix Suns making a playoff push, bringing in a veteran leader like Pau Gasol makes sense. Phoenix could send the contract of Emeka Okafot to the Lakers, and Los Angeles could waive him immediately and cut their luxury tax obligations down.
However, Los Angeles wants someone in return and not just financial relief, so Phoenix would have to sweeten the pot somehow and the Suns have four first round picks in the 2014 NBA Draft they could throw in.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Ameobi has signed a new two-year deal with Newcastle but he'll spend the entire 2015-16 season on loan at Cardiff City.
Ameobi previously spent time on loan at Middlesbrough in 2013 but he's already made 67 appearances for Newcastle since joining the club in 2011. The 23-year-old should be put on the back burner for now as he works on his game in the English Championship, although another couple years could prove differently when he heads back to St James' Park.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Ameobi scored a wonderstrike in the 50th minute of Newcastle's 3-0 win over Hull City on Saturday.
Ameobi's goal was his first since Oct. 26 against Spurs, and given his inconsistent playing time, he's the ultimate dart in nearly all fantasy formats.
October 17, 2014

Ameobi came off the bench to record an assist in Newcastle's 2-2 draw with Swansea, but now is sidelined with an injury. With Ameobi sidelined, and several other injuries to the Toon midfield, Remy Cabella looks to be in line for a start against Leicester.

General Policies
Below are listed many of the policies that guide the Convocation program. Other policies may be found in the Overview, Requirements, and FAQ links on the Convocation website, or in The Bruin Guide.
Student Responsibility
It is the responsibility of each student to keep track of his or her own Convocation credits and to report any problems to the Student Affairs office within a timely manner.
Additionally, if a student does not have their BUID card at the Convocation program they cannot receive credit for the program.
Official Schedule
The official list of Convocation programs is found on the Belmont Convocation website. Any program not listed on that site is not an official program, and students will not be given credit for those programs not listed. This policy does not affect University College students (pursuing a Liberal Studies, PBBA, or RN-BSN degree).
Cancelled Programs
In the event that a program is cancelled, the Office of Student Affairs will make every effort to change the Convocation online schedule. If a program is cancelled within 24 hours before its schedule time, the contact person for that program or designee is responsible for waiting at the program's location for 10 minutes and taking names of students who show up. Those students will be given the credit for the program. Students arriving after the allotted time will not be given credit.
Late Arrival
Students who arrive at a program after the first 10 minutes of the program may be denied credit for the program.
Adjustments to Convocation File
Since students are responsible for tracking their Convocation credits, students must notify the Office of Student Affairs if a program has not been credited to their Convocation file within one month of the date of that program. After that time, the student will not be given credit for that program.
Summer Convocation
Convocation programs are generally not scheduled during the summer months. Students should plan to complete their requirements during the fall or spring semesters before they plan to graduate. Students may complete Community Service credits during the summer (or any other vacation period) during the time they are enrolled in Belmont University.
Belmont West/East
Currently, no Convocation credits are offered through Belmont West or Belmont East. Students should plan to complete their requirements before or after that semester. Belmont West and East are not considered as Study Abroad Programs.
Changing of Catalogs for Graduation
If students decide to change the catalog under which they are graduating, they will be bound to the Convo requirements that coincide with the catalog under which they are graduating.
*Where program topic, content, or conduct is provocative or potentially divisive to the campus community, the university reserves the right to refuse the program or to require adjustments in the program in the interest of hospitality, critical engagement, and/or consonance with the university's mission & vision.

Loose Thoughts ~ Amazon Review Madness October 31
There is a conversation going on on a review of RG about the main character drinking way the hell too much alcohol.
She's a bartender in the Florida Keys. She drinks.
I thought … and I mean this, I'm not even kidding … I seriously thought about making her a non-drinker for effect when I first started writing the book, but I figured no one would believe it and I would have to explain it and
my head just emptied right the hell out of ideas on that thought.
But I checked.
And sure enough she DOES drink rather lot. There is a reference to alcohol in eight of twenty-six chapters and in thirteen days she has at least one glass of something every other day or so and one episode of an ever so slight over doing it bender. The next book opens in a bar so I don't think she can be rehabilitated until … book four … or maybe never.
People kill me.
If you are against alcohol and the description on the back of the book says the main character is a bartender then it probably ain't your genre. Just say'n.
I will, however, put a warning label on the next book alerting non-drinkers that there is explicit use of spirits inside these pages.

Mesa police used gas to force a barricaded couple out of their apartment early Wednesday after a previous attempt to enter the unit ended with officers shooting at an armed man, according to authorities.
Officers arrived at the complex near Horne and Brown Road at about 10 p.m. Tuesday after receiving reports of a domestic dispute. Police had previously responded to domestic-violence calls at the same residence, according to police records filed Wednesday.
A witness called 911 and said Mandy Fugua, 48, was waving a knife and holding it to the throat of Daniel Gutierrez, 55, according to police. The witness said the man did not seem threatened but that they both appeared to be intoxicated, said Sgt. Tony Landato, a Mesa police spokesman.
Upon arrival, officers heard Fugua screaming for help from inside an apartment, and Gutierrez appeared to be wearing a holstered handgun, police said.
Gutierrez pointed what appeared to be a gun through the window at officers, Landato said. Two officers fired a total of nine rounds at him, court documents showed.
Gutierrez and Fugua barricaded themselves in the apartment, according to Landato. When officers attempted to negotiate with Gutierrez, he said he had a gun and would kill officers coming into his residence, according to court documents.
At about 2 a.m., officers put gas canisters inside the apartment, causing the man and woman, who were both uninjured, to exit the residence.
Officers executing a search warrant at the apartment discovered a BB gun that resembled a handgun, and investigators believe it was the item Gutierrez pointed at officers, Landato said.
Gutierrez and Fuqua were taken to a Maricopa County jail and booked on suspicion of multiple charges. Police are not considering Fugua to be a victim in the barricade because she may have been able to leave the apartment — but chose not to — after shots were fired, Landato said.
Fugua was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault for using a knife in the earlier dispute. Gutierrez is facing two counts of aggravated assault, court documents showed.
Gutierrez and Fugua both have previous arrests and convictions, according to court records.

In conjunction with the Oregon Department of Transportation and other local law enforcement agencies, the St. Helens Police Department will conduct a "Click it or Ticket" safety blitz campaign, focusing on daytime and nighttime safety belt usage as well as minors in open pickup beds. Officers will also be looking for distracted drivers who are texting, using their cell phones or speeding
For safety belt systems, "proper use" means the lap belt is placed low across the hips and shoulder belt crossing center of the chest over the collar bone. Seat belts should be free of slack and lying flat with no twists or knots. If the shoulder belt portion of the belts rides up onto the neck or feels uncomfortable, comfort may be increased by using the built in adjuster or repositioning the seat. The shoulder belt should NOT be placed under the arm or behind the back – this can cause serious internal injuries or ejection during a crash. Falling to wear the seat belt properly is also a violation and can result in a citation.
Under Oregon law, a child weighing less than 40 pounds must be properly restrained in a child safety seat. A child under one year of age or weighing less than twenty pounds must be restrained in a rear-facing child seat. A child over forty pounds, but under age eight or less than 4"9" tall must be restrained in either a child seat with a harness system or in a booster seat that raises the child up so that a lap and shoulder belt system fit correctly. The correct fit for a child is the same as described for an adult.
Safety belts dramatically reduce the fatality risk and yet 31 percent or 61 of Oregon's 198 occupant fatalities in 2012 were reportedly unrestrained. ODOT estimates that approximately half of those fatalities could have been avoided with proper restraint use. Consistent vehicle restraint use is the single most effective way to protect motor vehicle occupants from crash injury or death, according to the US Department of Transportation. Oregonians are doing a great job of using their seat belts while in their vehicles. A statewide survey in June of 2013 found 98 percent of Oregon's motoring public use safety belts, making Oregon one of the two highest belt use states in our country.
The goal of this program is to increase that percentage, reduce the severity of crash injuries and make our highways safer.

I have a newly built machine with an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO MB, ASUS GeFore 210 Silent video card and Windows 7 Prof. Everything configured fine upon install with the output from the 210 going to two Dell 2408 monitors on the DVI inputs. (The 210 has a DVI and an HDMI, so the latter had an adapter.)
Because the 2408 monitor has known problem with its DVI inputs (intermittent loss of video) I switched to the HDMI inputs on the monitors. (The adapter is now on the DVI output of the 210).
Everything still works, except that I get no BIOS display. Both monitors have no signal until the Win7 login screen appears. I've tried each monitor as the only monitor connected and still see nothing until the Win7 login screen. I also tried the VGA output of the 210 to a third monitor, along with the two Dells but it never displayed anything. The on-board outputs never put out anything either.
Any ideas why this is happening?

May 2014 was unusual for bird watching at Lake Murray in San Diego. Usually, the weather is May is mild and mostly cloudy. This month, there were two weeks of extremely high temperatures and dry air. There were fires in areas of the county, but Lake Murray was not affected or threatened. Here are a few of the bird watching highlights for the area for May.
One of the unusual things that happened this month is that American coots seem to have disappeared. Several were seen attempting to nest and a few chicks were spotted early in the month. Slightly fewer adult mallards than usual were seen, but there were fewer ducklings. Redheads and lesser scaup were seen at the beginning of the month, but haven't been seen since. Ruddy ducks remained until about mid-May. Six Canada goslings were hatched in mid-May, though one disappeared a week later.
The osprey chicks survived to fledging age. At least two seem to have fledged normally, but one might have had a problem. The red-tailed hawks were seen courting, but not nesting. Northern harriers and Cooper's hawks were very plentiful and at least one juvenile was seen. One red-shouldered hawk was seen, but no young.
At least one killdeer nest and pair were seen in the northern part of the lake. Many of the killdeer seem quiet or have disappeared. Grackles are breeding as usual, but they, too, seem to have fewer young. Hooded orioles and nutmeg manikins are also breeding. At least one yellow warbler was seen on the eastern side of the lake as well as several Pacific slope flycatchers.
The great-blue herons raised five chicks in two different nests. Two of the chicks fledged before the end of the month and the other three were close to fledging. Green herons are also breeding but, have fewer nests than usual. Least bitterns have gone silent and it is unknown if any are breeding.
Most of the gulls remaining in the area are western gulls with a splattering of juvenile California gulls. A few Forster's and Caspian terns have been seen and heard calling and courting. No signs of any western or Clark's grebes.
Hopefully in June there will be more signs of breeding at the lake. The weather at the end of May was typical for the time of year. If it remains mostly typical, more chicks and successful breeding may take place. The end of May and the beginning of June is peak duckling season more ducklings should appear by the middle of June.

Have you always wanted hair from the runway shows? Well now you can get it. Like every New York Fashion Week, Tresemme's style team creates unbelievable hair looks that seem too fancy to recreate at home.
This season, lead stylist Jeanie Syfu and Matthew Curtis created styles for Rebecca Minkoff, Alice & Olivia, Jenny Packham and Marissa Webb's 2014 Fall/Winter collection. The looks are easy to create with just a few steps. Click through list to get the look for yourself.
Alice & Olivia Fall 2014
Titled "Enchanted: A Midwinter's Night's Dream", Alice & Olivia's collection was a blend of sharp tailoring combined with Victorian charm and bohemian beauty.
The hair, created by Tresemmé's Global Stylist, Matthew Curtis, complemented the collection with voluminous brushed-out and backcombed curl.
To get the look:
- Divide hair into middle part. Using one-inch curling iron, curl the hair horizontally. Pin each curl with pin curl clips and allow hair to cool.
- Once cooled, remove the pins one by one, and use a soft-bristle brush to gently backcomb each curl. Spray roots with Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray and tease into place.
- Repeat this process working from the bottom to the top of the head, ensuring you focus the teasing at the roots for that voluminous feel.
- To finish, smooth out the part to create a strong graphic finish. Set the look with a blast of Tresemmé Tres Two Freeze Hold Hairspray.
Jenny Packham Fall 2014
Jenny Packham's 2014 Fall collection was inspired by Bianca Jagger in the 70's. A woman who "epitomized the ease and opulence of eveningwear at the time."
Tresemmé's stylist Jeanie Syfu, interpreted this into a hair look that reflects Jenny's vision with a loose, knotted bun that's both decadent and natural.
Get the look:
- Apply Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse to hair and blow dry with a round brush
- Once hair is completely dry, back brush hair for volume and spray lightly with Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray while gently brushing the hair away from the face
- Pull the hair back so that it loosely covers the ears into a low ponytail and fasten with an elastic
- Twist the length of the hair into a bun, leaving the ends out, and fasten with hair pins
- Apply Tresemmé Leave-In Split End Conditioning Treatment through the front of the hairline while loosely separating the hair with fingertips
- Finish the look with Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray for a touchable hold
Marissa Webb Fall 2014
Again stylist Jeanie Syfu created the amazing hair look for Marissa Webb's Fall 2014 collection. The polished, yet undone style was natural with a matte texture and a whimsical, airy finish.
To get the look:
Dual texture:
- Apply Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse on damp hair, and rough-dry by flipping hair over and gently pulling at the roots for lift
- Once dry, use a flat brush to lightly comb the hair
- Starting at the nape, take large horizontal sections and mist with Tresemmé Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray. Wrap hair loosely around the barrel of 1¼-inch and 1-inch curling irons, leaving ends out. Alternate between irons to create an irregular wave and work your way to the top of the head
- Create a messy center part, and flat iron from the part to eye level
- Mattify hair with Tresemmé Fresh Start Renewal Dry Shampoo, then brush out to get a natural airy texture
- Spray the top with Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Illuminating Shine Spray for a dual texture, that is both matte and shiny
Messy Top-Knot:
- Apply a liberal amount of Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse to hair and rough dry with fingers, lifting at the roots
- Once dry, lightly brush hair and spray with Tresemmé Fresh Start Renewing Dry Shampoo to mattify
- Back brush the hairline for an airy perimeter of wisps. Then, use your hands to loosely pull hair up into a high ponytail and fasten with an elastic
- Back brush ponytail and twist loosely into a bun, leaving ends out. Fasten with large hair pins
- Finish with Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray

As always, the weekly serving of the best comics offered for January 15th, 2014!
Book of the week: Daredevil #35
After inciting near panic across critical circles online with the solicitation of February's issue of "Daredevil" as the "final" one, Marvel Comics has wisely decided to continue allowing writer Mark Waid to continue his Eisner award winning, steady sales earning run on "the man without fear" continue. However, the series will be relaunched in March not only as a naked attempt to boost sales for one or two months, but to welcome a new artist/'co-storyteller". Thus, this is the penultimate issue of Chris Samnee's tenure as regular artist on this series, a role he's owned throughout 2013, as well as setting up the finale which will give the series a narrative reason for a revamp.
Matt Murdock has currently become embroiled in yet another deeply entrenched conspiracy in his exploits as a lawyer by day, vigilante by night and neurotic all around. This time it's the racist group the "Sons of the Serpent" whose roots may be supernatural but who have taken high positions of power within various judicial and law enforcement institutions (in addition to having leagues of costume clad extremist minions). Having failed to incite a riot in Manhattan and defeat Daredevil through a pawn (his old foe, the Jester), the cabal have instead threatened him directly - via exposing his barely secret identity to the bar association as well as the life of Foggy Nelson, who is struggling to survive cancer. Murdock quickly is forced into defending the son of a head honcho of the group who is being set up for a murder he didn't commit (despite still being a bigoted crook in practice) or allowing the creep to be sent to jail and losing what is left of the life Murdock's tried desperately to create after his breakdown in "Shadowland". Left with no options, Daredevil turns to his dangerous ex, Elektra, as he faces up against some hired mercenaries at the scene of the crime as well as his most dangerous foe of all - the trial itself.
It is easy to take the artwork for this series for granted, but with Samnee's penciled pages being numbered, now is the time to further appreciate his harmony with colorist Javier Rodriguez. From the full page splash at the start of the issue to the quiet courtroom panels at the end, and all the exciting battles in between, it all flows with style, splash, and substance in strong line work skillfully mingled with attention to detail. It is the best of a more illustrative style that many comic book artists have avoided as they shift towards "photo realism" which is becoming more of a lost art than it should be. It is also easy to take Waid's voice for the title character for granted, but as always he has a lock on him. Some minor villains (such as Constrictor) get some unique redesigns, and Samnee's take on Elektra is terrific. The final pages offer an immediately justification for the relaunch in terms of the narrative by - spoiler - calling the "Sons"' bluff and revealing his identity in open court.
The exposure of Daredevil's identity was a key component of the Brian Bendis run on the book towards the middle of the decade past, and the ramifications from it continued during Ed Brubaker's run shortly thereafter. The gist was that while the vigilante's identity had been known to the Kingpin and other criminals for a long time, a new mafia bigwig leaked it to the authorities and it then hit the media. Murdock faced both assassination attempts and prison time due to this, and eventually managed to forge a status quo similar to that of the Kingpin himself - having an alter ego which much of the public knew but nobody could technically prove in court. Now, it seems as if Murdock is attempting to avoid being the pawn of the wicked by destroying what he's sought to recreate, but on his own terms. It will remain to be seen whether this is genuine or another clever ruse, but it will be interesting to see an era of Daredevil similar to that which Iron Man has faced for years.
As always, this is one of the best superhero books Marvel Comics publishes - some could call it the best for the price tag. The relaunch will bring with it a hike in that price but hopefully not any loss of quality. It seems as if the next issue can't arrive soon enough, which is exactly how it should be for serialized fiction.
Honorable mentions:
Archer & Armstrong #17: Fred Van Lente wraps up yet another arc of his often hilarious, occasionally poignant and always imaginative relaunch of this longtime Valiant Entertainment franchise. A sudden crossover with "Bloodshot and the H.A.R.D. Corps" is due by sprint and the rush to wrap this issue up meant that the art credits for this issue have expanded - Khari Evans and ChrisCross on pencils and David Baron with Allen Passalaqua on colors. It all leads to a showdown between the two titular leads as well as all of the factions of the worldwide cabal "the Sect" as Archer sought to reorganize the cabal behind himself, gain a MacGuffin and avenge himself on Armstrong for sleeping with the woman he loved. However, when confronting Mary-Maria and her own group herself, Archer is forced to rethink his current vendetta with fresh eyes. To this end Van Lente has used this crazy and action packed adventure to tell a story about two friends forgiving each other for past sins once it is shown their their friendship is more powerful than anger over a slight. Despite the added figures to the art, it all looks terrific and is up to the usual standard for the series. The upcoming crossover is an obligation which is not exactly welcomed, but will hopefully provide another opportunity for the usual standard of action packed fun that Fred Van Lente is known for in this series.
Superior Spider-Man #25: As the world now knows, the "superior" era of Spider-Man is officially coming to an end the month before Sony's "Amazing Spider-Man 2" hits theaters by sheer corporate synergy (or coincidence). This is expected news as this long form story arc by Dan Slott (and sporadically co-written by Christos Gage, who tunes in for this issue) has run a bit long in the tooth considering it relies on a more than one plot hole and convenient mishandling of some supporting characters. The extra surprise is this is an "extra sized" issue, with thirty pages of art by Humberto Ramos, inker Victor Olazaba and three colorists as the new "Superior Venom" goes to war with both crime and the Avengers. Naturally, there is a lot of action and perhaps two to three issues of development from the series' usual pace which happen within this extra priced tome. If the story could move this fast, why was there a seeming stall during the summer stories? Regardless, the fate of Carlie Cooper is revealed, the Green Goblin's goblin squad escalates their war with both the new web-slinger and Roderick Kingsley (the original Hobgoblin), the symbiote continues to boost the power and insanity of Doc Ock, and "Peter the Friendly Ghost" makes his triumphant return since a tease from issue nineteen. The art which has a lot of action and monstrous (or mechanical) figures plays to Ramos' strengths for such designs, even if it can seem obligatory. All in all, this is an issue where the pros tend to outweigh the cons for those eager to see a return of the original web-slinger as well as a conclusion to this era. There are still some convenient character moments - such as the end of MJ's suspicions for a previously stated but still flimsy reason - but the opposition of both the Avengers and the goblins mark the collapse of Dr. Octopus' house of cards. After an exciting start and a bit of a middling middle, the finale of this era will make or break this run in the career of Dan Slott as well as the franchise as a whole. At the very least, the third act of this fifteen month stretch is heating up when it should.
All-New Marvel NOW! Point One #1: The annual six dollar sampler of the latest batch of new series launches with the title that just rolls off the tongue - for a frog. As always, the ten page prologue tales for new series are framed together by another prologue - in this case, a quest by the newly adult Loki to gather together six keys to unlock yet another ancient weapon Odin hid somewhere. These segments are by Al Ewing ("Mighty Avengers") and Lee Garbett, and capture the voice, humor, and motives of the character perfectly. The first story is a peak at the next stab at "Silver Surfer" by Dan Slott and iconic artists Michael & Laura Allred, which offers an eclectic take on the often stoic cosmic figure. Apparently the Surfer has formed a friendship with a random woman named Dawn Greenwood and they've gone off to explore the universe, and encounter wacky space oddities in the process. It is about time Norrin moved past Shalla Bal and while this is apparently a set up for bizarre artwork, that works when the artists are the incredible Allreds. Next up was a look at "All-New Invaders" by DC Comics refugee James Robinson with art by Steve Pugh, which unfortunately is mired by ten pages of boring exposition about yet another Kree warrior instead of showing readers how Robinson plans to handle Marvel's classic "golden age" team. Faring better is a simple Black Widow story by Nathan Edmondson and artist Phil Noto, who deliver a beautiful yarn in merely a few pages; their series officially began last week and is just as good as this preview suggested. After that is a look at one of Marvel's most progressive choices in the new "Ms. Marvel" by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona ("Runaways") which sufficiently introduces their new Muslim-American teenage heroine from New Jersey in spectacular fashion. The last peak is a look at the relaunched "Avengers" series by Nick Spencer and Rags Morales which focuses on ex-New Mutants Sunspot and Cannonball having a mission on A.I.M. Such samplers have been standard for at least the past three years and while always a mixed bag, this bag seemed less mixed than others. So far, 2014's offerings are looking quite bright.
